Ethics case study
Rozpočet $10-30 AUD
This task is an individual academic case study report of a current ethical and/or sustainability issue in business. This is a lengthy piece of work that has been designed to both assess
your learning in the subject, as well as being a vehicle for learning itself. By selecting a case study based on events and issues that are of personal interest and relevance to you, you
will be able to deeply engage with your chosen topic as relevant to business ethics and sustainability. This will mean that the assignment is not simply a matter of testing whether you
have learned what is covered in class, but rather it is a learning experience in and of itself. Central to this learning will be your ability to develop your own perspectives, argument,
and critical appreciation of ethical issues related to business; these are skills and sensitivities that can in turn guide you in your current and/or future professional practice.

text: Baby , Sleep Baby sleep problems and solutions The moment parents bring home their bundle of joy, sleep is on the brain. While getting a few winks a night can be trying even with a good sleeper. From the moment parents bring home their bundle of joy, sleep is on the brain. While getting a few winks a night can be trying even with a good sleeper, when your baby develops sleeping problems and habits that keep both baby and mom from sleeping, stress starts to rise. This can cause problems not only for baby but for parents as well. It's really hard to operate on a few winks a night especially if your baby isn't just an "up to feed" whiner but a true night owl. Sometimes little ones can't sleep due to colic and other times you may find that you truly have a baby who has his days and nights mixed up. If your baby isn't sleeping it can not only affect you and your spouse but also older siblings who have to get enough sleep to do well at school the next day. Read on to find out how you nip sleeping problems in the bud and get your baby back to a restful night's sleep. Colic cures While there is no sure fire cure for colic there are several ways to soothe your baby back to sleep. Colic babies love to be swaddling, and movement can make all the difference. Gentle bounces can help work stubborn gas out of tiny tummies. Day to night fixes If your baby has their days and nights mixed up, remember Rome wasn't built in a day. Pushing back bedtime a little at time will help to correct the problem. It's also a good idea to avoid over-stimulating your child before bed. Keep things calm. A night-time bath for baby can help settle down reluctant sleepers. A bedtime story can also be soothing. Trying to fix a routine within one day will only tire you and baby out and set yourself up for failure. It can take up to a month to get your little one back on track. Nap when you can and rest when time allows. This will help you keep from going on burn out. Wake-all-night tips Babies who wake often at night may be falling asleep too fast to get full. They may also be waking for comfort. Gently stroke your baby's face to keep them awake during feedings, at least long enough to get full. When it comes to sleep problems, every child is different, but with a little patience with both yourself and your child – and a whole lot of love – you'll be catching zzz's in no time flat!

Score Ratings
Our ratings are live updated scores from our primary research database. They are based on primary and secondary research across 23 categories - 17 negative categories and 6 positive ones (Company Ethos and Product Sustainability). Find out more about our ethical ratings.
Score table
The score table shows simple numerical ratings out of 20 for each product. The higher the score, the more ethical the company.
Move the sliders to customise these scores.

Full Scorecard
The Full Scorecard shows the 'black marks' for each product, by each of the 17 negative categories. The bigger the mark, the worse the score. So for example a big black circle under 'Worker Rights' shows that the company making this product has been severely criticised for worker abuses.
Scores start at 14. A small circle means that half a mark is deducted, a large circle means that a full mark is deducted.
Marks are added in the positive categories of Company Ethos and the five Product Sustainability columns (O,F,E,S,A). A small circle means that half a mark is added, a large circle means that a full mark is added.

As our ratings are constantly updated, it is possible that company ratings on the score table may have changed since this report was written.
Those companies which received Ethical Consumer's at least a middle rating for supply chain management and were certified organic and/or received a best Ethical Consumer rating for Animal Testing were considered to be the Best Buys for the market:

Ethical issues in the cosmetics sector
Soap and water might be enough for some, but a large proportion of the population uses some kind of skincare products to moisturise, cleanse or to smooth over the bumpy bits.
Although the big names may dominate the market in terms of units sold, we're seeing an increasing number of companies offering more ethical alternatives.
We have rated all the skincare companies for their toxic chemicals policies. Those companies which received a best rating had a policy which has banned the use of parabens, phthalates and triclosan (see our feature on toxic chemicals for why we have chosen these chemicals).
As you can see from the table below, the use of these chemicals is still widespread.
Vegans might want to avoid animal derivatives in their skincare products. Ingredients to watch out for include honey, beeswax, silk, collagen and lanolin.
Companies which are suitable for vegetarians or vegans have been marked on the table using the symbol [A] while those made with organic products have been marked with an [O].
Brands that are certified by the Vegan Society and the Vegetarian Society get an extra whole plus point, while those that just market themselves as vegan or vegetarian only get and extra half point.
The following brands were certified by the Vegan Society: Faith In Nature, Green People, Honesty, Lavera, Lush, Original Source, Urterkram, Yaoh.
The following brands were certified by the Vegetarian Society: Bulldog
The following brands carried organic certifications: Avalon Organics, Badger, Bentley Organics, Dr Hauschka, Green People, Lavera, Logona, Neal's Yard, Odylique, Sante, Urterkam.
Although the testing of cosmetics on animals has been banned in the EU, this is not the case everywhere else in the world. The EU's REACH legislation has also complicated the issue. See our feature on ending animal testing.
Ethical Consumer rates all companies selling cosmetics on their animal testing policy. Companies will score a best rating if they have a policy not to test on animals, have a fixed cut-off date (a date after which none of their products or ingredients will have been tested on animals), and are not selling to markets, such as China, where animal testing of products is required by law.
The following brands were certified by the Leaping Bunny certification for not using animal tested ingredients: Alba Botanica, Avalon Organics, Badger, Body Shop, Bulldog Skincare, Faith in Nature, Honesty Cosmetics, JASON Natural Cosmetics, Neal's Yard Remedies, Superdrug, Tom's of Maine, Urtekram.
Additionally, Caurnie, Green People, Pure Nuff Stuff, Little Satsuma, Dr Hauschka, Logona, Sante, Lush, Weleda, Aesop got our best rating for animal testing policies.
Palm oil and palm oil derivatives have become an important component in many personal care products. In particular, it is used for its viscosity and as a skin conditioning agent. See our feature 'Problem with Palm Oil'.
The new column on our table shows how all the companies rank on their palm oil policy and practice.
The following brands scored best in our palm oil category: A. Vogel, Bentley Organics, Caurnie, Dr. Hauschka, Honesty, Lush, Odylique, Pure Nuff Stuff.
Of those, Caurnie, Honesty and Odylique were palm oil free.
L'Oréal (whose brands include Garnier, Elvive, The Body Shop, Maybelline and Ambre Solaire) is the world's largest cosmetics company. It is part owned by Nestlé and part owned by Liliane Bettencourt, the daughter of the company's founder and the 11th richest person on earth.
Over the past few years, L'Oréal has been at the centre of a high-level French political scandal over tax avoidance and alleged illegal donations to French conservative politicians who, it is claimed, were given envelopes stuffed with cash at the Bettencourt's mansion. Journalists reporting on the case said that they were intimidated, and that they suffered mysterious burglaries, with computers containing details of the case being stolen. The police investigation is still ongoing. The affair has also brought up L'Oréal's historical roots in French pro-Nazi groups.
In addition to its alleged donations to right wing politicians, L'Oréal is itself involved in right-wing political lobbying. In 2012, Jean-Paul Agon, the head of the company, was widely publicised as speaking vitriolically against François Hollande's plan to introduce a 75% tax rate on earnings over €1 million (L'Oréal's own CEO is currently paid €2,200,000 plus bonuses). The company is also a member of several free trade lobby groups and, in 2014, it spent $80,000 lobbying US politicians.

(NOTE: This is the fifth in a ten part series on student loans, check back every Tuesday for the next installment - Jason) After dragging yourself out of bed for early morning classes, studying by the light of the computer screen and surviving on hot dogs and stale coffee, you finally make it to graduation day. The world is yours, you've paid your dues and now you are an honest-to-goodness grown up. Your life is yours, you can party like a rockstar, sleep in till 4 pm, eat popcorn for dinner or sow any number of wild oats as you please. Excuse me, but what colour is the sky in your world? For those who don't live in never-never land, you wake up before the alarm, drag yourself into the shower and chug a cup of java as you walk to the subway. When you are not a work, you spend you're free time looking for a better job and checking your laundry for loose change that will tide you over until payday. When you do get paid, after making the rent, utilities and student loan payments, you cialis woman discover you have about $73 left to live on until your next paycheque. You look longingly at the calendar with some desperate hope that two weeks will suddenly become two days. Your parents drop by to visit, bringing a charity grocery basket with them. "Why don't you just move back home?" they ask. You insist that you're fine, you might even come up with excuses to appease them. Where would you store your stuff? It's too far from work. They don't have the space cialis woman, etc, etc, etc. This ritual continues for several months until you finally break down and admit you can't afford to be on your own just yet. It's a cold and unwavering fact that being on your own is not a question of ability to handle yourself, so much as it is a factor of economics. It's called boomeranging. Cialis woman adult children who are forced to return to the family homestead due to financial burdens. The good news, moving back home at twenty something, while it may feel like a blow to your ego, is not nearly as bad as you think it is. In fact, it's becoming the national norm. We all know at least one forty year old who has zero ambitions to ever leave the comforts of the family home, but there's no reason to think you will end up like that. For many young adults, returning home is a mature choice to get student loans and other debts under control, so they can stand on their own two feet. That being said, keep a few things in mind:
- Set a goal for your stay. Accelerating your student loan in lieu of paying rent, saving for a down payment on a house, or looking for a better paying job are good incentives and give you a "move out" target to aim for.
- Do your chores. Granted, you're not 12 anymore, but that's what makes it even more important to pitch in. Your parents shouldn't have to chase you to help out, since you are an adult. Talk to your parents or volunteer for certain duties, such as taking over the yardwork or laundry. Doing your bit toward the responsibilities of the household will go a long way in maintaining your adult independance and help your parents respond to you as their adult child, and not just a child.
- Don't act like a teenager. Be respectful and mindful of your parents space. Cranking the stereo at three in the morning is a little selfish, not to mention rebellious. If you like it loud, invest in some good headphones.
- Don't assume what's theirs is yours. Just because you are old enough to drink, doesn't mean Dad wants you to drink all his beer. Buy your own, and occasionally offer one to the old man. Same goes for the car, the remote control and other amenities that aren't covered under "free room and board".
- Don't introduce your date at breakfast. It's your parents' house and therefore you must comply with their comfort levels when it comes to dating and overnight guests. If you are thinking of bringing your date home for the night, clear it with Mom and Dad first. If you're not comfortable enough broaching the subject beforehand, you have no business expecting your parents to go along with it.

Today, Maisy and I are happy to have Louise Taylor visiting us with her new release!
Never trust the wrong man, especially with your heart. But how does one know ahead of time he is the wrong man?
In the case of innocent vicar's daughter Faith Halstead, governess to a middle class family with a marriageable son, one only finds out he is a cad after it is too late. Now she is alone in the world, a fallen woman, facing a bleak and uncertain future.
While leaving London in disgrace, a chance encounter on the train lands Faith in front of the darkly dominant Duke of Buckingham. He is in search of a woman to serve as his slave at an upcoming Ruttingdon Club house party, and the shy, modest young woman has unaccountably captured his attention.
Desperate for any excuse not to return home to her harshly judgmental father, Faith rashly promises to serve as the duke's absolute slave for a week, alone with him at secluded Ruttingdon Hall.
Will his dark and brutal desires and the oftentimes sweet pain he inflicts upon her ripe body drive her away, or will the awakening desires in her heart seduce her into staying longer with him – perhaps forever?
Publisher's Note – This book contains adult, consensual spanking and discipline, and graphic descriptions of sexual activity. If such material bothers or offends you, please do not read it.

Faith swallowed hard. "I may be a fallen woman, your grace," she said quietly, "but I am not a woman who will suit your needs either."
"You don't know what they are yet," the duke pointed out. "And, may I say, that you are not exactly in a position to be choosy."
Faith's head snapped up and she glared at the duke.
He smiled at her. "There you are," he said softly. "I wondered if there was a bit of spirit left in you."
He pushed the piece of paper on the desk towards Faith.
"There," he said. "There is a document stating in plain terms what I would expect of my mistress, and what her remuneration would be."
Faith did not look at the document.
"Why are you offering me this?" she asked, confused. "You have a woman waiting for your carriage at the railway station. She is more worldly than I, and fully aware of what you need. I am not like her, your grace."
"Read the document," the duke ordered.
Her hands shaking slightly, Faith picked up the sheet of paper and started to read. She felt her cheeks begin to flush again after the first few sentences, but a mixture of horror and fascination kept her reading the scandalous document.
It was a contract, of sorts, she realised, a little like the one that she had signed on becoming the governess to the Bateman children. It spelled out, in simple terms and plain language, what the mistress of the Duke of Buckingham would have to endure, and how she would be remunerated. Faith's eyes nearly popped out of her head when she saw the amount, neatly penned in at the bottom of the page.
Ten thousand pounds.
Ten thousand pounds!
It was an unbelievable amount of money, an absolute fortune, especially to a poorly paid governess such as Faith. She had thought that she was lucky to be paid twenty-five pounds a year by the Batemans; one month's work for the Duke of Buckingham and she would earn what she never would earn working as a governess!
She took a deep breath. Now she understood why fallen women turned to sin. It seemed to pay a lot better than virtue did!
Author Biography:
I'm Louise Taylor, and I love reading and writing historical romance novels! I've now written seven full length erotic historical romances, and all my novels are published by the lovely people at Blushing Books.
All my books have elements of power exchange, spanking and BDSM but none of my heroines are weak-willed or easily dominated – they make their men work for their love!
I live on the beautiful Welsh coast, and I love walking the cliff tops and visiting some of our wonderful historical ruins. I get my best ideas when I'm in the great outdoors and you can usually find me chasing after the piece of paper I've just scribbled my notes on!
I live in a late Victorian house with wonderfully high ceilings and no central heating – thank goodness for my fabulous fireplace! I'm owned by Alfred The Great, an enormous tom cat with very decided ideas about who gets to sit on the right side of the sofa and how long I am allowed to stay in bed in the morning.

Interview with Louise Taylor, author of Having Faith
Can you tell my friends about your newest release?
Having Faith is the story of Faith Halstead, a governess who thought that she was set for a life of married bliss with the eldest son of her employer. She soon learns, however, that you have to be careful who you trust with your heart, and she finds herself thrown out of the house early one morning, in disgrace, with no references and no hope of a welcome back home with her judgmental father. A chance meeting on a train lands her in front of the in front of the darkly dominant Duke of Buckingham. He is in search of a woman to serve as his slave at an upcoming Ruttingdon Club house party, and the shy, modest young woman has unaccountably captured his attention. Desperate for any excuse not to return home Faith rashly promises to serve as the duke's absolute slave for a week, alone with him at secluded Ruttingdon Hall. During the week both she and the duke are surprised by their reactions to her submission, but while the duke is desperate to keep Faith close to him for longer, she isn't so sure she can cope with the demands of serving the duke.
No – the story continues in Volume Two, called Keeping Faith, on release September 3rd 2016! Once I got started on this story, it just wouldn't stop!
You can get a sneaky preview of Keeping Faith at the end of this book – the first chapter will be included, so no horrible cliffhangers! I wouldn't do that to you, readers. That's just mean!
How did you come up with your title?
This book had a completely different title in the planning stages, but as the first two books in the series, The Incorrigible Annabelle Spencer and Annabelle's Awakening, had the name of the heroine in the title, I knew I should probably follow the convention with third book. Faith was a popular name in the 1800s, and as she is the daughter of a clergyman I thought it was appropriate. Having Faith deals with Faith and the duke brokering their agreement, Keeping Faith is all about how they negotiate their relationship in the aftermath of the scandalous Ruttingdon Club house party hosted by the duke. There's also a little punning going on, which is one of my favourite things!
What are you working on right now?
Book four of the Ruttingdon series! It follows one of the members of the Ruttingdon Club introduced in Keeping Faith, Dr Henry Sutherland. I don't want to say too much as I'm still coming to grips with the story, but let's just say that he runs up against an unusual patient who brings out his dominant side in way he's never experienced before! The treatment he prescribes for her is very much in the spirit of the Ruttingdon Club…
What's the hardest thing about writing your books?
Other than finding time to actually write them? Probably keeping track of my characters, actually. If I'm not careful I find them changing hair colour, eye colour, even their name as the book is being written! I think that comes from the fact that I really only have time to sit down and write on the weekends, so sometimes I forget what colour their eyes are or if they've already taken off their jacket in a scene, for example. Little things, but as I reader I find mistakes like that dreadfully distracting. For Having Faith and Keeping Faith I had to construct a timeline marking off their days together so I didn't do something stupid like accidentally skip over a day. I constructed the timeline after I was editing the book and found out that I had done something stupid and accidentally skipped over a day. That taught me a valuable lesson! Always plan properly!
Do you have any advice for other writers?
I've only been a published writer for almost a year, so I feel a little silly acting as if I know anything important about writing. What I will say is that you can only call yourself a writer if you actually sit down and write something. It doesn't matter if you don't do very much, or you think it isn't any good – small amounts add up, and you will undoubtedly go back and change most of what you write anyway! If you don't carve out some time and put pen to paper, or fingers to keyboard, then you'll never get it done. That's a lesson I've had to learn. I may not be able to produce more than one or two books a year because of the demands of my day job, but it's vital that I schedule time to write into my week.

As a news junkie, I often find myself seeking out political discussions and debates on the various news networks.

Republicans are as likely as Democrats to say enactment of immigration bill is very important.

Many of you ask me if you can have a session with a lady in gym shoes who has smelly socks and feet.
This is fine with us and we can certainly oblige however you must realise that no lady comes to work
smelling, if she does arrive straight from the gym she always showers before dressing.
If you want this style of session you MUST make a booking and give us a deposit which is deducted from
your session price.
Please note that I do put my counseling bookings first before session bookings, after all you do have many Mistresses
to choose from.
I will be on roster for the next few weeks on a Wednesday by appointment however the other days may vary.
You can always email me in any case and I will let you know my availability.
You know, you have to laugh sometimes, it is said it takes 7 years off your life!
If you would like to join myself and some of the other Mistresses to go along to a show, concert, or out
to dinner please let me know.
We are intending to go to the show 'Hairspray' and currently putting a group together, the show finishes
in October and we would like to go prior to 22nd September.
We have done this in the past and had a great time so we thought we would do it again.
We will be putting together different 'packages' as I realise not everyone will be wanting a session
or to Cross dress prior to the event.
Anyway, please let me know if you are interested - your ideas and suggestions are always appreciated.
This evening I went with friends to see the fabulous SYDNEY-based Malaysian singer and guitarist Anna Salleh
(http://annasalleh.com/) at Bar Me in Kings Cross.
Anna is such a great performer, easy to listen to and very sexy.
To my horror a small group of people in the front decided to hold a discussion in the middle of her performance,
a couple of the women even getting up to dance in what was a very crowded small space.
Their actions reminded me of one of the reasons why we stopped holding parties at SK's. There always seems to
be a few people in a crowd who don't give a damn about others, show disrespect to the hosts/performers and
spoil things for others attending.
Anyway, if you get a chance to hear Anna and you like jazz singers with some real talent make sure you catch Anna
live some time.
I was given a dog crate a few months back however it was not suitable for my dogs so I stored it out in our back courtyard
here at SK's where it has gathered dust and dirt.
Much to my delight I had a dog slave contact me who is right at this moment working on the area, clearing up after the deluge we
had last week and finally cleaning the dog crate. I have tied his balls and clamped his nipples, he is sweating profusely but
working hard so far. A dog's life shouldn't be too easy!
I really enjoy training dog slaves so it will be good to have a House dog on hand who can keep the crate in good order so as
other dogs can come in and visit us as well.
Once it is spick and span I will take a pic to show you - I think it will probably be too dark tonight by the time the dog slave
has completed his cleaning duties however I will take a photo over the weekend and hope that some of you will be able
to fit inside!
(PS: dog crate picture now uploaded - click on the thumbnail. Shame I didn't have enough light to take a picture with the dog-slave inside.)
It's never an easy decision to raise prices and that's why we try to minimize any price increases at Salon Kitty's.
Unfortunately, we sometimes do have to raise prices.
This will be the first time we have raised the price of our phone fantasies in over 10 years.
We believe our price rise reflects the high quality phone sex services the women at Salon Kitty's provide.
Remember, not only can you see the woman on our website, you know she regularly engages in a multitude
of sexual fantasies in real life, you can visit her for a session or even make your phone fantasy part of your
session. This service is unlike so many 'networked' phone fantasy providers who work from scripts and whom
you would never get to meet.
Our new prices are:
$70 for 20 minutes
$105 for 30 minutes
$210 for one hour
I'm often asked this question, I guess it is because it is one of those things that makes people curious.
Yes, there are of course cultural differences when it comes to sex and sexuality and in particular BDSM. Even the legal situation of sadomasochistic activities varies greatly between countries. In Japan, Germany, the Netherlands and the Scandinavian countries, consensual BDSM is legal. Compared to countries like the U.K. and the U.S. I believe we are fortunate here in Australia not to have ridiculous laws even though they vary from state to state.
Anyway, humans differ from animals in our development of what we call "values". We are not controlled by instinctual needs alone. As we grow, learn and have experiences, we derive general guides to behaviour. These give us direction in our behaviour and are called "values". Values reflect the worth we attach to anything. Our sexual values relate to the rightness or wrongness of sexual conduct and when and how sexuality should be expressed.
Naturally each country has its own melting pot of ethnicities, values, and religions.
For instance, the Middle East has a long, sensual history that celebrates sex and romance as do many Asian countries, (particularly Japan and India) that have a long history going back thousands of years, which honour sexuality in life and art.
I think it is fair to say that sexual values, attitudes and behaviours have changed more and become more diverse in the Australia, The United Kingdom and other western countries in the last half-century than they did in the previous five hundred. The development and increased availability of the birth control pill has been described as 'the defining event' of the second half of the twentieth century (Gelles 1995). By breaking the natural link between sexual activity and reproduction, the contraceptive pill had a dramatic impact on everyday life: reproduction became for many people a matter of choice and family planning, and the sexual revolution of the 1960s, with its emphasis on recreational and promiscuous sex, was ushered in.
Sexual values are learned and not instinctive. Each person would learn sexual values in different ways, at different rates and with differing results. We acquire our sexual values from our social environment - our parents, family, friends, school, the books we read, the TV shows we watch and our religious background. These are sometimes given the term "cultural influences".
In any case our society is pluralistic, and embraces a wide range of sexual values. While some people may be quite liberal in their sexual views and behaviour (for example on issues such as premarital sex, prostitution, pornography, BDSM, homosexuality etc.), others may be very traditional and conservative.
I'm often contacted by people particularly from Greece and Turkey telling me that they are ready and willing to relocate because they can't satisfy their interests in their own country. I must say I find this a little hard to believe and would love to hear from people who have local knowledge.
So, are the French really the best lovers, Australians the most playful, the Swedish the most sensual and the English the worst? I don't really believe one can generalise here. Sexual values are not static and we continuously re-order our value system based on ongoing experience, personal needs, likes and wants. Many people are introduced to BDSM quite late in life, some after a relationship breakup while others as
young as 18 are keen to experience various aspects of Domination and submission.
Each of us are who we are, with unique histories and differences that we embrace as part of our identities, and sexual and sensual cultures.
For everyone who has been wanting to know when Mistress Lucida is returning I am happy to announce she will
be back on roster this Wed. evening (May 11th) I would suggest you phone to make a booking if you want to catch up
with this popular and versatile Mistress.
There are very few days of the year that we close, Good Friday is one of them.
Please note that we will be open again on Saturday from 10.30am.
Mistress Imperia is back from her holiday today and is keen to meet with her admirers and slaves.

Cases Produced : 2,900 Cases
Barrel Aging : 26 Months In French Oak Barrels
Blend : 39% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Malbec, 10% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc, 9% Syrah, 8% Petit Verdot
Alcohol : 14.2%
Acidity : 0.65 g/100mL TA
pH : 3.85
Tasting Notes
This wine is the most complex varietal blend yet of the Tres Tintos lineage. It is a big full bodied wine with full, dark fruit aromas and a rich texture full of dark berry fruits and well balanced oak characteristics of bittersweet chocolate and vanilla tones. The increase of Malbec over previous vintages gives the wine a big full midpalate without increasing the weight of the tannins. A significant blend component of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc provides an ample structure of tannin while at the same time lifting the aromatic intensity. The Syrah is a non-traditional varietal for this type of blend, although we have found the peppery spice to be a wonderful component in our blending trials.

Winnipeg company to provide vendor-managed inventory services to transit authorities
WINNIPEG: Heavy-duty transit bus manufacturer New Flyer Industries Inc. has been awarded two new contracts to provide vendor-managed inventory ("VMI") services to the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) and to the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA). Both transit agencies are New Flyer customers for buses and spare parts. Both contracts were competitively bid, and are incremental to New Flyer's current parts sales to these customers.
"We believe these contract awards are a reflection of the long-term relationship between New Flyer and our customers, and shows the confidence that both WMATA and the MTA have in our ability to support their efforts to increase bus up-time while reducing their operating costs" said Paul Soubry, New Flyer's president and CEO.
New Flyer's VMI contract with the WMATA is for a one-year term, with two one-year option terms, and the base contract is valued at about US$2.1 million annually. The program has three elements:
New Flyer's contract with the MTA is to supply point-of-use brake kits for transit buses built by a variety of original equipment manufacturers, including New Flyer. The contract is for five years and is valued at about US$1.7 million annually.

A manager must know how and when he needs to shift his thinking from business needs to people's wants and needs. He must understand employees and their professional needs. If there is constant trust and support from the manager towards employees' professional development, the employees can perform better in whatever assignments they are expected of. It must be noted that, to a greater extent, manager is responsible for linking the organization's needs to employee career goals. Hence, a successful manager is he who knows better how to shift his style to work effectively for both organizational development and the professionaldevelopment of employees.
He should be perceptive to his people's wants and needs and sensitive to events as well as in dealing with their emotional issues. It is then only he can handle situations successfully. Since he is responsible to delegate responsibilities to his subordinates based on their specializations and make the most of team building to develop efficiencies, competencies and organizational development, he should know whom to promote for the betterment of the organization. Unless a manager takes necessary steps towards enhancing each employee's current job performance and providing future job opportunities; he differentiates between the costs of bringing in talent from outside and promoting the capable employees from within, he may not be regarded as a successful manager.
A manager who does not take time to foster his employees' talents and to create right opportunities for them; who does not appreciate them and create a plan for their growth within the organization,neither he remains in their good books nor is he remembered as a good person. It is worthwhile to mention that good people are always remembered as blessing, while those who are not good to others, are soon forgotten like a bad dream.
It is important to understand the professional needs of your subordinates if you are a manager. It should be thought that if you got a higher position, your subordinates can also be entitled to get it in the future if they are capable and worthy of it. It is worth mentioning what has been pointed out by H.S.M.Burns, "A good Manager is a man who isn't worried about his own career but rather the careers of those who work for him."

Woody Allen's manager and co-producer Charles Joffe has died. He was 78.
Joffe passed away Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on Wednesday, following a long illness.
He had helped shape the careers of many high profile comedians including Robin Williams, Billy Crystal and Lenny Bruce, and signed Allen to his New York-based agency when the funnyman was an unknown writer.
With Joffe's help, Allen negotiated his first movie deal for 1965′s What's Up Pussycat – writing and starring in the film.
And in 1969 Joffe began to produce Allen's films, working alongside the Hollywood legend right up until his most recent release – this year's Vicky Cristina Barcelona starring Penelope Cruz and Scarlett Johansson.
Joffe is survived by his wife, Carol.

The yellow reminded me every spring
of how you love me…"

Learn Some Types of Insurance Waivers
Download Your Insurance Waivers
An insurance waiver isn't an uncommon term. Many people know this well. They also look for free insurance quotes with it. What is it exactly? An insurance waiver is a form signed by individuals when they have been offered a particular type of insurance and have decided to drop it. Some educational institutions also use an insurance waiver form sometimes. For instance, students need to enroll in health insurance required by the institutions. For those who have already had the coverage don't need to get a new health insurance plan, though. Sometimes students need to drop the vision or dental part of the health insurance plan. In this case, they need to fill an insurance waiver form that only includes the insurance programs they don't even need. There are many types of insurance waivers, actually. Here are for the examples.
Medical Insurance Waiver
Some people consider medical and health insurance as the same thing. These are different products, in fact. Medical insurance is a kind of health insurance. It only covers treatment and hospitalization towards pre-specified health problems and accident. The coverage is also limited. On the other hand, health insurance has a broader coverage. People will get thorough health cover against various hospitalization expenses. It also covers ambulance charges and other expenses.
If they want to sign a medical insurance waiver, they should pick the coverage that they need to decline. The options are limited. They should really learn more about it as medical insurance waiver is quite different than health insurance. To put it simply, medical insurance waiver isn't as flexible as health insurance one. Still, medical insurance waiver is compulsory for some reasons. Many people still use it these days. It is a good choice for people who live alone or single.
Health Insurance Waiver
It's also called sickness insurance waiver. This type of insurance is compulsory for those who need coverage against various treatments and hospitalization expenses. When someone signs a health insurance waiver, he may remove a particular coverage for some reasons. How can people get this form? They can simply contact their private health insurance provider. This is the basic requirement to confirm their coverage. The question is why they may need a waiver.
It's quite recommended to submit a waiver once a year. It's because the insurance coverage may change over time. That's why health insurance companies often ask for client's insurance information annually. Current coverage and insurance information are important to them. The aim is to retain the health insurance services. It's true all people should get covered by health insurance. However, some of them may fill the waiver health insurance in order to eradicate some coverage that they don't need.
Life Insurance Waiver
It is true that life insurance is an important coverage. People shouldn't ignore it. A waiver is signed when they want to drop several protections, though. There's also premium life insurance waiver. That means the insurance provider will pay the insurance premiums when people are disabled. It usually takes much time up to 6 months. Most of the life insurance providers include premium waiver as an inseparable feature. They may charge more based on their policies.
Who are eligible for life insurance contract? People should provide information from the expert that proves their problems. The definition of problems may differ from one to each other. Some illnesses will also be removed from the insurance policies. That's why people should really be careful to read the form before signing. This is to ensure what the coverage they may get. The life insurance will remain waived until clients don't qualify for the assistance. That means people should have the qualification to get a life insurance waiver and health insurance waiver.
Travel Insurance Waiver
Things happen during a travel or vacation. Travel insurance prevents someone from spending lots of money to cover those incidents. It's a complete protection against possible money losses due to many cases such as sudden trip annulment, supplier default, death, sickness, accident, medical expenses, baggage loss, and others.
What about travel insurance waiver? Well, this is quite important as well. People should sign this form if they want to reduce some parts of the coverage. The insurers won't cover those types of incidents. People have different reasons why they need travel insurance waiver. The coverage may vary from an insurer to each other. That's why they only want to take some protections that they really need.
Insurance Waiver Form for Sports
Is getting an insurance waiver for sports participation is meaningful? By signing the waiver, people have already recognized the risk of joining such sports. This may release the responsibility for the 3rd party to cover the risks and injuries. Some people don't want to get a waiver, though. The negligence of parents is also useless when it is about sports insurance waiver. There are many risky sports out there. Without knowing the risk, the clients are likely getting injured from it. This may cause liabilities to the insurers. Even kids need guidance and protections during sports activity. The insurance waiver form for sports is quite imperative.
Is Premium Waiver in your Insurance Policies Helpful?
Some people are confused when they find premium waiver in their life insurance policies. They consider it useful as the premium amount is quite small. Premium waiver can be useful in some situations. What is premium waiver exactly? It's a contract or form that waives the clients' responsibility to pay for upcoming premium. This exists in the insurance policies. The clients don't need to pay for the next premiums as they drop a part of the policy. What is the prime reason to get a waiver of premium? The premium is low. It's lower when compared to the actual price.
Better Health Insurance with ObamaCare Waiver for State Innovation
What can be waived with this program actually? States will adjust the procedures governing covered subsidies and benefits that people can get from the marketplaces. They will reallocate cost-sharing reductions and premium tax credits. There will be the individual mandate. That means the states will eliminate or modify the qualification that individuals retain minimum coverage. There's also the employer mandate. States may alter or remove the qualification that employers offer cheap coverage to their employees. This may help citizens to get a better insurance to cover their health issues. It also reduces the insurance premiums.
What do you Need Travel Insurance for?
Travel insurance is one of the most important things that you should have when you are travelling overseas. Of course, there are several reasons why one needs travel insurance. In getting to know what you need travel insurance for, some of the key questions related to travel insurance will be asked. The answers to these questions will ultimately reveal why you need to have travel insurance.
What does Travel Insurance Cover?
The first and probably one of the most important questions that needs to be answered in relation to travel insurance is pertaining to what exactly travel insurance cover. Here below is a list of what you should expect to be covered by single trip travel insurance cover.
- Emergency Medical Expenses: Did you know that one in every three claims on travel insurance is for medical treatment? With this in mind, you should know the importance of medical travel insurance. Once you are covered, you can be treated in the country you are visiting without having to bear the high cost of medication.
- Personal Liability: In case you are sued for damaging property or causing injury, travel insurance will cover your personal liability.
- Lost or Stolen Bags: With business travel insurance, you can have your bags well covered. In case you lose your bag, you will be compensated for its value and thus you would not have suffered total loss.
- Cost of Cancelling your Trip: For whichever reason, you may choose to cancel your trip. Travel cancellation insurance reimburses to you all the pre-paid, non-refundable expenses just in case you decide to cancel your trip before you depart.
- 24/7 Assistance: Travel insurance ensures that you always have a 'lifeline' to call just in case there is an emergency while you are abroad. This service will help you to get quick assistance on any issue, more especially medical issues.
Does Travel Insurance Cover for your Pregnancy?
Pregnancy is not considered to be a medical condition. But at times there could be medical complications resulting from pregnancy. While traveling, it is important to have medical travel insurance. Travel insurance will cover for your pregnancy and you will not have to worry about paying for any complications resulting from your pregnancy.
Furthermore, you will be given tips on how to handle your pregnancy while travelling abroad.
What does Flight Insurance Cover?
If you are travelling abroad, you need to get flight insurance cover. The need to get this kind of cover is mainly out of the benefits that you will get. Here below is a list of what flight insurance covers:
- Enhanced medical expense coverage
- Trip cancellation due to work reasons or involuntary loss of job
- 24/7 emergency assistance
- Health services
- Lost/stolen bag
When do you need a Travel Insurance Waiver?
When you have a pre-existing condition, you should not be worried about getting travel insurance with your condition. Travel insurance waiver is usually given to people with pre-existing conditions so long as the following 3 conditions are met:
- If you purchase the policy within a specified time frame. The time frame is usually set as the time when you are purchasing the travel insurance with your first trip deposit. The policy can extend the time a bit longer.
- All the pre-paid, non-refundable trip payments equal to the amount of coverage purchased.
- If you are medically able to travel at the time when purchasing your travel insurance policy.
From above, it is very clear that you need a travel insurance whenever travelling abroad. If you know that you are going for a holiday and will stay for more than 31 days touring different destinations, then you should opt for backpacker travel insurance rather than the single trip travel insurance policy which will limit you to only one destination. Otherwise, it is clear that there are more than enough reasons for all types of travelers to have travel insurance.

It was Day 3 and the time had come to pull out of driving purgatory where I had spent the weekend.
The RCMP hadn't confiscated my wheels and suspended my licence for a stunting activity. I wasn't doing diligence to a no-licence-for-a-week penalty for a speeding ticket either.
The culprit who grounded me was eye surgeon Dr. Dan Belliveau. Dr. Belliveau removed the cataract in my right eye and implanted a crisp new intraocular lens. The procedure was a 15-minute light show that dramatically improved my ability to read those far-off road signs and brightened up the day on the right side of my field of vision.
After the operation, the doctor advised not to drive for a while. I figured he meant for a few hours. But the discharge nurse surprised me when she stipulated no driving until after a followup appointment to make sure all was good with my bionic lens.
It was Friday, so I wouldn't get the green light to drive again until Monday, 72 long hours later.
What would I do all weekend without being able to get behind the wheel?
The concept of not driving anything was completely new. Sure, I've gone three days without driving but that was because I had the flu or during one of those rare situations where need, or want, to drive a vehicle didn't exist. But never because a person or organization dictated I couldn't drive.
After Lisa drove me home from the hospital I realized there were lots of things I didn't need to think about. There would be no tearing the house apart looking for car keys.
I didn't need to think about what was in the driveway, what cars and trucks had to be shuffled around, fuel gauges, windshield washer fluid levels, or hauling that spring cleaning load of trash to the landfill.
There was no need for a pocket full of loonies and toonies to feed parking meters either.
Since I was supposedly convalescing, my driver, Lisa, was always available to take me wherever I needed to get to. Bratty, but after being the family's go-to driver for decades, it was cool to simply state my destination and let her deal with everything vehicular.
Ahh the freedom to indulge in my smartphone and be a complete social media geek while in transit. Billboards, homes and businesses I've never noticed were everywhere. At traffic lights, I checked out the folks in other vehicles rather than dutifully staring at the intersection and waiting for the lights to change.
There was no averting my eyes or feeling sorry for the boulevard entrepreneurs from the passenger seat. Sure, I feel for them and their dogs, and I appreciate that some want God to bless us but I will not, and have not, encouraged them with a handout.
I was so engrossed with being a passenger that sometimes, after an outing, I had to ask Lisa what car we had driven in.
By Sunday I was starting to tire of being grounded while realizing how much my life revolves around being behind a steering wheel.
I've had the privilege of possessing a valid driver's licence for 52 years, including ones issued in New Brunswick, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, Ontario and Nova Scotia. There is a slew of expired International Drivers Permits in a filing cabinet beside my desk.
Of course, there are people who live their whole lives without a driver's licence. I recently learned of a retired friend who had never had one. I wondered how much money he'd saved over the years, but he would never know. Without having ever owned a vehicle, it would be difficult to realize how expensive it is to purchase, fuel, insure, park and maintain one.
By Monday morning I was ready to get the go-ahead from the eye doctor and patiently awaited my noon appointment. I could see clearly out of my operated-on eye and had to drive to Truro that afternoon and to Moncton the next morning.
Lisa drove me to the appointment, which was over in a few minutes. More bright lights probing my eye and a period of silence that seemed like forever.
"Healing very well," Dr. Belliveau reported. "You can drive now."
I strutted to the parking lot and asked Lisa for the car keys.
"And what did we come here in?" I asked, thinking it was a quartz blue pearl Subaru Crosstrek. Or was it the hichroma red KIA Stinger press unit assigned to Lisa for the week?

The New Balance 587 is a motion control shoe designed for runners who severely overpronate and for larger runners. Designed with the classic retro look, the shoes combine multiple technological advances from New Balance to provide the stability and cushioning that its users require.
When looking at the outside on the 587, you won't find the same flashy colors that crop up in other models. The shoe's upper is made of a synthetic mesh material and is primarily a combination of blue and gray.
Scroll Over Thumbnails to See Larger Pics
However, look deeper into the shoe's design and you will see why it is one of New Balance's best selling models.
New Balance has designed and implemented their Rollbar technology to provide exceptional support for your heel and ankle. This is specifically intended to reduce pronation and provide the support needed during your run. The dark gray Rollbar extends from the lateral side through the shoe to the medial side.
Flip the shoe upside down, and you will notice the durable rubber outsole, with horizontal grooves that provides improved flexibility. Checking out the heel, you will notice the 587 contains a graphite plate, strategically placed to provide additional support.
Oftentimes, motion control shoes will provide stability, but may lack the softness that is desired by runners. To combat this complaint, this revised model contains their patented ABZORB technology, which is comprised of special materials which provide extra cushion.
The ABZORB material is located in both the heel and forefoot, and helps minimize the shock many larger runners feel during a workout.
Is New Balance 587 The Best Running Shoe For Me?
The NB 587 has garnered a significant amount of fans over the years for good reason. The shoe received numerous reviews commenting on its durability. In an age where many shoes are shipped overseas, New Balance produces all of its high quality products in the USA.
Many runners had success using the 587 in wet or snowy conditions, which sometimes can result in shoes breaking down. Not the case with the 587, as fans constantly made note of its unmatched quality, and ability to use the same pair of shoes over many, many miles.
One criticism is the shoe's weight, coming in at 15 oz for the men and 12 oz for the women. This quality is common amongst many of the shoes for severe overpronators, but it leads many testers to find the shoe clunky at times. For a lightweight motion control alternative, the New Balance 905 may be your best option.
Other runners found that the ABZORB technology in the midsole did not provide enough padding. They complained of a hard ride, and wished the shoe provided more cushioning.
Nevertheless, the New Balance 587 has been a consistent force in the shoe market for moderate to severe overpronators and larger runners. The number of advocates far outnumber the detractors, as the shoe provides a unique mixture of stability, comfort, and durability.
If your stride falls into this category, and you want a top quality shoe from an American company, be sure to check out the New Balance 587. Also consider the New Balance 1123, which is another great New Balance motion control shoe.

Attorney Dennis Koehler lashed out at the county engineering staff Friday, charging they have given his client a raw deal.
Koehler`s client, Marvin Rosenberg, wants to build a 195,000-square-foot discount outlet mall on Okeechobee Boulevard. The 19.6 acres lie about a half mile east of Florida`s Turnpike. Until recently, it was a mobile home park.
In 1985, Rosenberg won a zoning change that allowed him to build a center with 184,000 square feet. Now he is asking for three changes to that 1985 approval.
-- He wants 11,000 more square feet.
-- He wants to change the phasing conditions. He now cannot build more than 100,000 square feet until Okeechobee Boulevard is widened to six lanes from the turnpike east to Military Trail.
After the road is widened, he can build the remaining 84,000 square feet.
Rosenberg wants to build 128,000 square feet in phase I.
-- Rosenberg wants the phasing to be based on widening Okeechobee from the turnpike to Haverhill instead of to Military Trail. Military is a half mile farther east than Haverhill.
The Planning Commission voted 6-to-1 to postpone the matter for 30 days at the urging of Zoning Director Frank Palen, who said the issue was still too confusing.
The postponement means Rosenberg will not be able to open his discount center in December in time for the winter season, Koehler said. Afterward, however, he said Rosenberg will start work on the 100,000 square feet while still pressing for the changes.
Engineering staff members were opposed to Rosenberg`s requests. They claimed a new Florida Department of Transportation study shows traffic on Okeechobee Boulevard has increased by 33 percent in the past year.

Compost 20 Years Interview With Rainer Trueby
This year Compost Records celebrates 20 years of releasing music! This is a massive achievement for any label, especially for one that releases such a diverse range of music. Someone who's been there since the beginning is Freiburg based DJ, producer and wine aficionado Rainer Trueby. He's contributed tracks, remixes and compilations to the label (and sub-labels) from the very first days until now. Trueby has been running his own Root Down parties since the mid 90s and is known to have one of the most enviable record collections in the world for anyone with more than a passing interest in jazz, soul, funk and electronic music.
This year Compost have been celebrating their anniversary with a book of praises from musical friends, a three pronged digital compilation and a select number of parties (no bloated 30 date world tour with fashionable names here, this is the real deal). The UK exclusive party sees Rainer Trueby spin at Roots Before Branches in Manchester for a satisfying 4 hours. Ahead of the event, I caught up with Rainer to talk past, present and future…
How would you describe your Root Down parties to someone who hasn't been and what are the challenges/advantages of doing these events in Freiburg as opposed to a larger city in Germany?
We started our party series back in 1996 in Freiburg, which is a university city in the black forest/south west Germany. At that time we mainly played an eclectic mix of soul, funk, jazz and boogie, combined with brasilian, afro and latin music, spiced up with some so-called current trip hop, nu-jazz and even some drum´n bass. Over the years, deep house became more and more important so these days we play a lot of house and electronic music as well combined with our beloved roots. Every guest DJ has the complete freedom to play HIS sound because that´s basically why we invited him/her. I believe you can have a good party in every city no matter what size it is. We always tried to educate our crowd and luckily enough they have been following and trusting us over the past 20 years.
How do you approach playing long DJ sets, such as the one you will play for Roots Before Branches?
I never really plan a set. I just bring loads of music from all genres that I like and then I try and go with the flow. I do enjoy playing long sets a lot. I tend to start on the slower side and then just build it up step by step and take the listeners on a musical journey.
Which of your own productions/remixes do you play the most in your sets?
I do play the more recent ones quite a lot such as my Truccy collaborations with the young Italian producer Corrado Bucci. I also sometimes still play tunes like Ayers Rock or To Know You which were produced by Danilo Plessow a.k.a. Motor City Drum Ensemble. I did some collaborations with Marlow from Weimar in East Germany as well, such as aremix for Tosca and another one for The Soul Session cover of the America classic, A Horse With No Name. With both Marlow and also Corrado under the Truccy guise, we have new productions coming up soon. Sometimes I might revive an old Trueby Trio tune or remix as well….
You've put together lots of compilations (Glücklich, Talkin Jazz, Maiden Voyage,Slouse etc). Which has been your favourite one so far and why?
I actually enjoyed doing all of them. In terms of a DJ mix CD, I still dig our DJ Kickscompilation with the Trueby Trio for K7 records, which was released in 2001. Another one called Abstract Jazz Journey for the US house label King Street still stands the test of time listening back to it. The Slouse compilation focusing on some slo-mo house tracks is more showcasing my current musical preferences. But then again, they are somehow all my babies so it´s difficult to pick one. Let me put it like this: I don´t regret any of them…
How do you dig for vinyl in the age of the internet? Are the best places 2nd record shops? Flea markets? Online?
You still can´t beat the magic of diggin´ for vintage vinyl in a good record shop or at a flea market. That continues to be my favourite form of record diggin´. But then again, I really enjoy finding albums or 12 s that I have been looking for, for a long time, via discogs. It is very convenient and definitely makes the hunt a lot easier.
How do you feel about Compost reaching 20 Years, especially considering you have had such a close relationship with Michael since the beginning? Did you see the label lasting 20 years+?
Considering that I have been part of the Compost family since day one in 1994 with my first project called A Forest Mighty Black, I am really happy to see Compost still being around after 20 years. It hasn´t always been easy for record labels due to distributors going bankrupt and the whole new forms of music buying via downloads in the past couple of years. Music somehow almost became free, so the labels had to adapt to that new situation somehow. I always say in comparison to that fact: You cannot download a bottle of wine…happy anniversary Compost! May it last another 20…
Do you think that the late 90s/early-mid 00s really were a golden era for nu-jazz and jazz derived electronic music or was it more of a hype/press concoction? Is the influence of jazz always there in electronic music?
That was surely our very own "golden age". We survived Acid Jazz, we survived NuJazz and most of us are still around producing music that we believe in, and jazz somehow has always been a major influence, such as in soul, funk, boogie, disco, afro, latin and brasilian music. At the moment I can see a whole new young generation like Max Graef, Fouk and many more with their new interpretations of the Rare Groove thing that think similarly. They take these organic samples to a new level! It all comes in circles I bet and there is still room for us veterans.
You have been doing Beats & Öxle events since 2004 and your compilation of a similar name with Jazzanova (Beats, Bites & Öxle) even had a wine collection and cook book. For you, what is the special relationship between wine and music?
I came up with the idea of Beats & Öxle in 2004 because I thought it would be a nice combination of presenting talented winemakers (you can find quite a lot of them here in the Baden area) in a younger musical party setting, rather than going to classical wine tastings, which always seemed a bit too conservative for me. We normally play more of the old school musically, some jazz, soul, funk and latin, which matched really well with the consumption of fermented grapes and it proved to be a good concept, especially for a lot of my-age 40 + people. Will start workin' on a second edition of Beats, Bites & Öxle soonish, with a cookbook again plus some wine recommendation and a CD for the Sonar Kollektiv label.

We undertook this project along with the client's internal IT team and an external design agency. The platform is custom built on Microsoft's ASP.NET, and as it originally started out using ASP.NET Webforms, we took the opportunity to update it to the more modern MVC approach. The drLykke homewares store had a requirement to allow for products that had colour, size and other "attribute" options. Developing this site included displaying these options clearly in all product views (both listing and detailed information pages) and allowing customers to use them to filter lists. In addition, we needed to update the custom content management and administration systems to allow administrators to add such products to the site and to manage all of their attributes. www.drlykke.no
