This can be tough as you have a duty of care to take all reasonable steps to provide a workplace that is free from bullying & sexual harassment, so I recommend a 3 step approach.

Having investigated 100s of workplace bullying/harassment complaints and conducted many training sessions. I have found that the requests/engagements have always come from the HR department or another senior manager (if there is no dedicated HR) but never from a manager involved in safety or WHS.
Would a shift in responsibility for the handling of bullying and harassment complaints and training from HR to WHS/HSE affect the process and how bullying and harassment…Continue

How many of you have encountered the problem when a complaint is made but the complainant tells you that they don't want the matter investigated
I often get asked by HR professional and managers, "What do I do if someone makes a complaint and then says that they don't want me to do anything, they just wanted me to know."
Despite what people think this is not a difficult situation, it becomes all about ownership of the complaint.
Once someone has made a complaint…Continue

We know that bullying, harassment and sexual harassment in the workplace is stressful to the victims, but it is often forgotten that the responsibility for dealing with and/or investigating these matters can also be very stressful on managers and HR professionals.
I wonder if this stress is the cause of investigations either not being done at all or being done in a less than effective manner. Managers and HR professionals are often blamed if they get it wrong, or take to long and you…Continue

Over the years, many people have contributed in different ways to the life of Braughing and have touched our lives, leaving us with some dear memories. Here, we remember some of our friends and recall memories of times gone by.
She was born more than 94 years ago at the Bird in Hand pub in Green End to Henry and Maggie Glazebrook. She was the eldest of six children – four brothers and one sister – Roy, Peter and Joan are with us today.
She went to Braughing school until she was 14 and was a star pupil - we have several of her school books which confirm this. She often had to stay off school to help her mother at home with the washing and the younger children – it was a daughter's duty then. She always regretted not being able to continue her education.
On leaving school she went into service as a housemaid at Hamels Park – a boarding school for girls. She told us how the cook would make cocoa at night and occasionally give her a can full to take home, on her bicycle, for her brothers and sister – a real treat!
In 1941 at 18 years old She volunteered for the Women's Air Force and became a balloon operator. She was once caught taking coal which had fallen from the trains to try and heat their freezing Nissan Hut. The policeman asked what she was doing and on explaining to him he helped her fill the bucket and carry it back to the balloon site. She worked on several sites and was released from service in 1944 returning to Braughing and working at Martin's garage.
She married Les in December 1946 – she used to say he was the only one left but they were married for 67 years so it can't have been all bad!
She was a very caring person and was always the first to offer a helping hand. She was well respected in the village and became involved in many local organisations. She was a founder member of The Playing Field Association Trust which raised the money to buy and develop the playing field in Green Lane and ran a 100 club for thirty years to help raise the funds. As children we spent many a school holiday collecting large sacks of stones from the land in preparation for the grass seed!
She served for 25 years on the Parish Council becoming the first female chair and bringing her common sense attitude to the meetings. She was an enthusiastic walker of local footpaths in order to protect and conserve them for future generations.
She was involved in the local women's section of the Royal British Legion and became the Standard Bearer. She organised the poppy collection, a poppy seller for over 40 years – and was presented with an engraved crystal vase for this achievement.
Her involvement in village life included many more activities including being a school governor, brass cleaning in this church, treasurer of the Horticultural Society, Women's Institute, Golden Age Club, History and Braughing Societies, Scrabble Club, Sunday Teas, Neighbourhood Watch – the list is endless. Dad used to say he didn't need to belong to any of these things as he was involved by default!
When we were young she worked at the school and later worked in the shops in Braughing – she always like to be busy. She finally retired from Jones aged 70!
She had a rare blood group and as well as receiving a Wedgewood plate for 100 donations the antibodies in her rhesus negative blood was in demand for new born babies and she was collected from Braughing and taken to Brentwood once a month to donate this. In all she gave 186 pints – receiving many more awards.
You may wonder how she had the time to bring up three children but Allan, Sylvia and I cannot fault her as a mother. We consider her to have been 'firm but fair' being the parent who gave the love and support as well as the punishments. She was an excellent cake maker and there would always be something 'cooling' when we came home from school. Her meals were not quite so adventurous and as children we could tell what day of the week it was by what we were having for dinner – but I don't think we were any different to the other families around us.
As a grandmother she really found her vocation. She was devoted to them and delighted in everything they did. We had beautiful hand knitted clothes for them and endless hours of babysitting. Dancing classes were held in the Church Room on a Saturday morning and she provided bed and breakfast for them on a Friday night and encouraged them to become ballet dancers the next morning – not something they all achieved! They were indulged and could have almost anything they asked for – milkshake on their cereal which of course they didn't eat because it tasted awful! She cooked their favourite meals and allowed them to turn the furniture upside down to make camps in the front room. She read them endless stories, played card and board games and took them out for adventurous walks down the Bone. Cassie remembers that as a treat they were allowed some ice gems and dolly mixtures in an eggcup – not too many though!
I just wish she could have got to know her beautiful great grandchildren Claudia and Francesca as she would have loved them too.
Sadly she developed memory loss several years ago and we all supported both dad and her which meant they could stay in their own home. We took on many of the tasks but Dad was still left with her care – he wouldn't have it any other way, until he died two years ago. Even though she struggled with day to day things she still wanted to make a cup of tea when we called – even though one of us had to follow her out to the kitchen and remind her of what she was doing. We would like to thank family in the village and Mick and Mandy who all kept an eye on them.
We realised that she would be unable to live on her own and she came to live with Geoff and I. With the support of Allan and Sylvia and the grandchildren we were able to keep her with us until it became too difficult for us all and she went into the dementia wing at Margaret House in April. By this time she had no idea where she was and settled quite happily - having lots of people around and lots of things going on for her to watch. We were very pleased with her care and got to know the staff and other residents well. We were all able to visit often and there were very few days when one of us was not able to see her. Sylvia likes to think she still knew us but I think she just saw us all as a friendly face. She could remember her life from a long time ago and remembered her brothers and sister -long after she had forgotten dad and her children and grandchildren. Once while looking at old photographs we came across one of us all taken in the back garden at Green Lane – she picked out herself but went on to say of the rest of us 'and that was the man, that was the boy and those were the girls'. Luckily we found it funny but it was rather sad.
I would like to finish with a poem that Sylvia came across which we all felt described her perfectly in the last few years.
Do not ask me to remember
Do not try to make me understand
Let me rest and know you're with me
Kiss my cheek and hold my hand.
I'm confused beyond your concept
I am sad and sick and lost
All I know is that I need you
To be with me at all cost
Do not lose patience with me
Do not curse or scold my cry
I can't help the way I'm acting
Can't be different though I try.
Just remember that I need you
That the best of me is gone
Please don't fail to stand beside me
Love me 'til my life is done.
There is no doubt that we all loved her very much as we know she loved all of us.

James Roe Jr ensured his place in the Formula Ford Festival final by winning the Last Chance Race sponsored by Cam-Tech Security.
Roe won in a tight three-way battle with second place man Ross Martin and podium finisher Michael Eastwell.
Poleman Martin led the early part of the race in his Graham Brunton Racing Ray but Roe passed for the lead on the inside of Paddock Hill bend at half distance, having started fourth on the grid.
The Ray of Martin and Eastwell's Spectrum remained in close attendance with Roe until the end and the drivers secured a start in the Festival final.
Dean Venter also qualifies by finishing fourth after a lonely race in his Souley Motorsport Ray, while Klaus-Dieter Hackel also gets through after an untroubled run to fifth in his Pre90 Van Diemen.
There was a frenzied multi-car fight for the final qualifying slot in sixth, and Vincent Jay claimed the place in his Ray at the last by passing Matthew Chisholm's Van Diemen at Clearways on the last lap.
First reserves for the final are Chisholm, Mark Armstrong, Miles Johnston and Adam Fathers.
Jordan Dempsey was a reserve for this race after his earlier exclusion from his battle with Jamie Thorburn but did not make the start.
Thorburn went off at Graham Hill Bend and retired from the Last Chance Race, missing out on the final.

SOCAR supplied 11.2 billion cubic meters of natural gas to meet domestic demand in the reporting year. Thus, about 89% of the natural gas realized by SOCAR were delivered directly to the domestic market, while completely covering the domestic demand of Azerbaijan. The remaining 2 billion cubic meters were added to the gas storages and 1.42 billion cubic meters were exported by SOCAR on its own accord to the Turkish and Georgian markets.
The country's natural gas export amounted to 9.44 billion cubic meters over the past year exceeding the previous year's export by 11%. In total, 7.23 billion cubic meters of natural gas were exported to Turkey and 2.21 billion cubic meters to Georgia from Azerbaijan.
''By investing in exploration and production projects, we can achieve energy security for our country and deliver more products to the market at a favorable moment. As new gas fields are being discovered in Azerbaijan we anticipate a significant increase of gas production in the future", First Vice President of SOCAR, Academician Khoshbakht Yusifzade said.

Relentless (Sweden) – Tempest Of Torment
This is relatively capable modern death/thrash/grind stuff that I don't find very interesting but doesn't offend me either. Imagine Vader as a brutal death metal band but minus the consistently interesting song structures and you have a good idea of what this sounds like. In short, it's exactly the sort of thing you'd expect from Crash Music when they don't manage to stumble across great oldschool DM like Jungle Rot. The main problem with this album is that I have no reason to ever listen to it. It's good but nowhere near good enough to listen to over the other 800 some-odd CDs I own.
The songs are kind of awkwardly designed, like the band felt the need for death, thrash and grind to all be equally represented on each track which makes for some very strange transfers. The riffing is pretty typical and rooted in the basic Swedeath sound with some faster, more technical tremolo riffs periodically tossed in. Drumming is unremarkable and vocals are a monotone growl/bark. The band occasionally attempts to liven things up with a somewhat blackish tremolo riff or melodic lead but it generally doesn't work because it's nowhere near inspired enough to grab one's attention. This seems to be another band where the guys decided 'let's play some metal' and had no real ideas beyond that. It's not bad but there's infinitely better stuff elsewhere.
They seem to be trying hard but in this case trying hard really isn't enough when there's so little content. This is good music for people who demand nothing more than double bass and tremolo riffs and growls from their music but otherwise you can skip it.

If you want to receive up dates on news and guides on contracting then sign up to our newsletter by entering your details below:
Sweden - Independent contractor or employee
In Sweden, a self-employed contractor may enter into an agreement with a principal, establishing what is often described as a consultancy services agreement.
When a party wishes to engage the services of a self-employed contractor, it is crucial for the parties to ensure that the self-employed contractor maintains its independence in the relations with the principal, when performing the services. Unless so, the relationship may be considered an employment relationship, which will entail unexpected, and most commonly undesired, consequences.
Under Swedish employment law, the definition of a self-employed independent contractor is an individual performing services for another party where no employment relation exists. The basic criteria for the definition of an employee are that the parties have concluded an agreement stipulating that the individual shall personally perform work for the principal.
Furthermore, the following factors indicate that an individual is an employee, and not an independent contractor (regardless of what the parties call it).
- The services must be performed by a specific individual.
- The individual must perform such work as the principal requires.
- The principal decides when and how the individual shall perform the work, i.e. the individual is subject to instructions from the principal and the principal's control.
- The work duties may vary from time to time subject to instructions.
- Facilities, tools and equipment are provided by the principal.
- The relationship between the parties is continuous.
- The individual has limited or no business risk.
- The individual is a former employee of the principal.
- The individual is not entitled to perform work for others.
- The remuneration is connected to the time used for performance of the work.
- The individual receives remuneration for expenses.
- The individual receives a guaranteed level of compensation.
- The individual is equal to an employee as regards economic and social matters.
The below mentioned factors indicate that the individual is an independent contractor:
- The services may be performed by other individuals.
- The individual has a registered business.
- The individual is registered for purposes of social security and personnel withholding taxes and holds a tax clearance certificate category F.
- The individual has a possibility to assign the work to others.
- The work is limited to certain assignments or the relationship between the parties is temporary.
- The individual is not prevented from working for others.
- The individual decides when and how to perform the work.
- The individual uses his/her own tools and equipment.
- The remuneration is depending on the result of the work performed.
- The individual is responsible for expenses incurred in the performance of the work.
- The individual is equal to a principal as regards economic and social matters.
Furthermore, circumstances which are special for a certain business or the trade unions' view of a certain question, may also be of importance for the judgement.
When determining whether an individual is an employee or an independent contractor Swedish courts have considered all circumstances in each case. One may assume though, judging by the rulings from the Swedish courts, that the most important factor in creating a consultancy relationship is the fact that the consultant performs work for multiple principals, and holds a tax certificate category F.
Swedish courts do not accept that the parties have defined the individual as an independent contractor/a consultant in a written agreement, if the circumstances in the case indicate that the individual is in fact an employee. Consequently, the parties have to consider the above mentioned factors and enter into an agreement which, by an objective assessor, would be deemed a consultancy agreement, not only on paper but also in practise.
In the event a service provider is considered an employee, he/she will fall within the Swedish Employment Protection Act, as well as various other mandatory legislations regulating the relationship with the principal, i.e. the employee.
Payment for the provided services may be made either as a lump-sum, based on the specific provided services, or on a time-spent basis. Invoices are issued by the service provider.
Business in Sweden may be conducted either as a natural person, or through a corporation, i.e. a legal person. Either way, if business has a permanent establishment in Sweden it needs to register with the Swedish Tax Agency, and in certain cases also with the Companies Registration Office. As regards foreign businesses with smaller operations in Sweden, it is sometimes possible to avoid creating a permanent establishment and thereby avoid registration and taxation.
Tax and social security
The service provider's position from a tax point of view has to be examined in each individual case, in order to assess whether the provider shall be regarded as a business and thus taxed for business income, or as an employee, and whether (a foreign) business has a permanent establishment and shall be subject to taxation in Sweden.
Whether or not the independent contractor would have to be registered for VAT in Sweden or charge VAT will depend on the type of service, the place where the service is rendered and where the contractor is based.
The independent contractor should normally be registered with the social security or national insurance authorities in an EU Member State. Whether or not the contractor needs to be registered in Sweden will depend on the permanent nature of not of the service provision in Sweden.
Liability insurance
The principal will normally require the service provider to maintain customary professional liability insurance.

This is a simple list of general guidelines for the 2 Broke Girls Wiki.
Unacceptable behaviorEdit
- Spamming, posting external links excessively, or using excessive uppercase
- Harassing other users for any reason, including discrimination based on race, gender, nationality, religion, or orientation
- Constantly disputing or counter-productively edit-warring
- Bashing or threatening a user, pairing, character, etc.
- Plagiarize or post information without a source (see Project:Verifiability)
- Posting mature content, including profanity and sexually explicit content. Keep in mind that 2 Broke Girls is a show geared towards a young audience and the wiki should be kept as such.
- Vandalizing, making unconstructive edits, or editing solely for the purpose of getting badges
- Joining the wiki without being 13 or older, not following a standard of writing expected from a young adult (see Children's Online Privacy Protection Act)
Breaking any of the rules above may lead to consequences such as a block.
Suggestions for editingEdit
The purpose of the 2 Broke Girls Wiki is to provide a comprehensive and accurate source of information about 2 Broke Girls for its visitors. These are important recommendations to consider when editing:
- Preview before publishing. Oftentimes, clicking the preview button helps you catch red links, messy formatting, or other mistakes so that you don't have to correct it again.
- Include sources in all trivia. This helps people access the original source if a statement may arouse contentions.
- Use neutral point of view. For example, it is not appropriate to write on Kat Dennings' page that Kat is the best cast member even if you are a fan of Kat. We welcome all fans on the wiki, so it is important to not make edits biased in a particular manner.
- Include an edit summary in past tense. Especially when making big additions or removals and when reverting others' edits, it is helpful to see in the article's revision history when big changes were made.

While there are plenty of foods and home remedies that can aid in recovery, the best way to deal with cold and flu symptoms is prevent them from occurring in the first place. Though there is no way to guarantee that you won't get sick, taking the precautions below can drastically reduce the odds of picking up a cold or flu bug, especially if you work in an office or classroom setting where avoiding potentially infectious people isn't possible.
Get Plenty of Sleep
Being sleep deprived can negatively impact your body's immune function, making you more susceptible to the germs that cause colds and the flu. As people get older, they are more likely to report getting less than the recommended amount of sleep, as well as experiencing more frequent sleep interruptions. Getting plenty of quality sleep can keep your immune system in top shape, and if you do happen to get sick, more sleep is also linked to a faster recovery time.
Stay Hydrated
Drinking plenty of water is vital to staving off cold and flu germs. The first line of defense for your body is the mucus membrane in your nose, and staying hydrated keeps that membrane moist so that it is able to effectively trap bacteria before it reaches the lungs. Drinking water is especially important for people that drink lots of coffee in the morning, since caffeine has a diuretic effect that can dehydrate the body.
Use a Nasal Rinse
Rinsing out your sinuses with a neti pot or bulb syringe can help to flush out germs and bacteria and keep the mucous membrane in your nose healthy. A simple saline rinse solution can be purchased from a pharmacy, or it can be made at home by mixing three teaspoons of iodine-free salt into a cup of distilled water.
Make Some Tea
A cup of tea can do more than just help you relax during cold and flu season. Breathing in steam from your tea helps to moisturize the inside of your nose and stimulate the tiny hair follicles there, which makes them more efficient at pushing out germs and debris. For even better results, mix in things like honey, lemon juice, and ginger root–all of which have antibacterial properties.
Work Out
Regular exercise provides a major boost to the immune system. In fact, studies have shown that people who don't work out are three times as likely to come down with a cold or flu compared to those that exercise just 3 times per week. That doesn't mean you have to be in the gym pumping iron, either–a quick 15-20 minute jog is all it takes, and if there's a bug going around, it might actually be better to avoid crowded gyms.
Adjust Your Diet
Diet plays a much larger role in regulating the body's immune function than most people realize. For example, protein and zinc deficiencies can deplete the immune system and leave you wide open for germs and bacteria to take hold. You can up your protein and zinc intake at the same time by including more lean beef, shellfish, nuts, and seeds in your diet, and it's not a bad idea to add more citrus fruits for an extra dose of vitamin C, either. While it's not the miracle cure some people tout it as, research suggests vitamin C can help the body fight off the cold and flu, and it may lessen the severity of symptoms should you get sick.
Be Aware of Hot Spots
When it comes to germs, the best offense is a good defense, and that means knowing and avoiding the places where germs and bacteria tend to accumulate. This is especially important if you work in an office setting with plenty of other people. A recent study of germ hot spots in the office revealed that the worst offenders were copying machine buttons, coffee pot handles, and knobs on commonly used doors. A travel-sized package of sanitary wipes can help you disinfect surfaces that see a lot of use, which can help keep you and your coworkers germ-free.
No amount of caution can completely eliminate the risk of coming down with the cold or flu, but preventative measures like the ones above can keep your exposure to germs limited and your immune system in fighting shape, giving you the best odds of staying healthy through flu season.

[hanging around Arequipa]
Day 3: 7am breakfast aka for us vegans bread, jam, and tea. We brought our own avocados and afterwards hopped on the bus to the zip lining spot. By 9am we were clinking beers to cheers St. Patty's Day and getting strapped in our harnesses. After a 20 minute climb up we arrived at our first line out of six. Swinging from mountain to mountain over a beautiful valley with a flowing river was absolutely incredible. I laughed line to line and I made the guys push me to go faster and faster.
The fourth zip we had the option of hanging upside down like Spiderman. Insanely incredible. Line five is the fastest and according to the guides you can get up to 50mph (I'd say we went 30mph max). The end of that zip landed you on a tiny wooden platform that rested on the cliffs. It continued to load up with more and more people and the space got cramped. Then we were told to take off our harnesses and flip them around in order to experience the Superman. Two lines sat side by side so you can Superman with a friend. At first it feels odd to completely let go of the line but as soon as you are off it's amazing. Arms stretched out you soar over tree tops and for a second it's as if you are truly flying. Sadly that concluded our Peruvian zip-line experience and before we knew it we were back on the bus heading to meet the crew who chose to skip out for lunch.
[hanging upside like Spiderman]
[flying over the trees like Superman]
Typical lunch and dinners included a type of juice or tea, a veggie soup, and for the main (for us vegans) rice, fries, and a few cooked vegetables or a simple spaghetti. After lunch and a few shared lagers we took off for Aguas Calientes aka Machu Picchu town. This part of the trek is along the railroad and is thankfully an easy, flat two hour walk. Those who choose the train to get to MP must pay around $100 roundtrip and they don't get to experience all the fun as we did. Fair enough, there are those who cannot trek, or don't have the time, or just simply don't mind dishing out that kind of money for a three hour train ride, and that is their choice. Of course it rained on and off as we walked on but we entertained each other by fruit hunting and sharing travel stories. By the time we made it to the town it was pouring and our group split in to two different hostels. The first time we'd have hot water (other than the hot springs) on the entire trip and it felt wonderful to be warm and dry. Unfortunately just about everything we brought on the trip was still damp and due to obvious reasons our hiking boots needed to remain outside our room. That night we had our last meal together as a group and we were fortunate to choose our own three course dinner (salad, soup, and a main) for once on the trip. Our group shared more beers and our emails and we promised to meet up in the am to hike the climb to Machu Picchu. Before bed, Ryan and I had our typical "too full must find Fernet" feeling. It had been four whole days without a shot of Italy's finest amargo and after many attempts, we located a bottle in the town's karaoke bar. Music blasting, neon lights exploding on the walls, expecting a crowd, but when we crossed the threshold we realized we were the only patrons. The bartender lit up when he saw us and gladly poured us our poison. Stupidly we forgot to ask how much before indulging and ended up paying $20 for four shots (expensive for our stingy wallets). Even though the barkeep begged us to sing a song (my tone-deaf self is never allowed a microphone) we denied and headed off to bed.
Alarm went off before 4am and by 4:15am we were out the door. I don't even need to say it, but yes it was raining. Ponchos on, breakfast tied to our packs, and torches lit, we trudged to the bridge to meet up with our group. Unfortunately the gate to cross the bridge did not open till 5am , but soon enough we were showing our passports and MP tickets to the officials and our 2,000 stair climb began. Mornings are usually tough for me. I can never breathe as well and my stomach is never happy. Regardless, we took step after step slowly peeling away layers as the humidity and the workout increased. As we inclined the sun slowly lit up the sky in a beautiful cerulean blue. When I was just about ready to give up on the stairs, I heard a celebratory scream from above and one minute later I had arrived at the top. By 6am, when the gates open, it was mayhem. People flocking in from buses (the lazy, expensive way costing $12 each way for a 20min drive) and long lines forming at the gates. We found our tour guides and cheered on our group as they completed the climb.
We split up in to English and Spanish speaking tours and we ended up with a brilliant guide. He absolutely loved Machu Picchu sharing as much knowledge as he had on the ancient ruins. The view walking in took your breath away. Mountains protecting us in every direction and terraces and stone buildings stretching across the site. The rain eventually stopped and the clouds creeped in making it an eerie, mysterious place. We followed around our guide who showed us how intelligent the Incas were in construction. Built in the mid 1400's most archaeologists believe it was built for the Inca emperor. The stonework is incredible. They carved out slanted stones and layered them in a way to avoid damage from earthquakes and other natural disasters. It is easy to identify an important or royal building from a regular home by looking at the style of how they designed it. The Temple of the Sun is dedicated to their sun god, Inti, and contains two water mirrors in order to observe the sky and stars to predict the weather seasons. The brilliant engineers created a aqueduct to provide water to all and this source still works today. We drank from it and the water tasted perfect. It amazes me that Machu Picchu remained hidden during the Spanish Conquest and it was only discovered 100 years ago. After learning all this and more we had time to explore on our own. We said hi to the llamas and Ryan of course made friends with one.
[my favorite Argentinean brothers!]
Most went on to visit the famous tourist picture spot and check out the other side of the mountain, but Ryan and I had purchased tickets to climb Machu Picchu mountain. Most tourists choose to climb Wayna Picchu, meaning young mountain in Quechua (the Incan language), which looks down upon the famous ruins. Unfortunately, but for a good reason, they only sell 400 tickets a day in order to preserve the site and when Ryan and I booked our day was sold out. The travel agent mentioned opting for Machu Picchu mountain, the old mountain, that towered above both at 3080m (10,105ft). Because there was no written evidence of the Inca city, the actual name of the ruins was never discovered. Machu Picchu is actually the mountain behind the ruins and archaeologists decided to call the Inca city by this name. Ryan and I can actually say we climbed the real Machu Picchu, although the intense hour and half climb up a steep staircase was not too fun. A few times we thought about giving up. We had trekked for four days and already spent our morning climbing stairs, did we really need to see the top? Then someone would pass us and we'd stay "ok, let's go up a bit farther" and after 90 minutes of stairs we made it. The top jetted out over the ruins and the clouds moved in and out revealing what lies below. Unfortunately no Inca site in sight, but we could see the town of Aguas Calientes to the start of yesterday's walk down the railroad. We hung out for a bit with other exhausted tourists and after 20 minutes headed back down. Climbing stairs is hell. Descending stairs is almost as bad especially when the wide steps slant the opposite way and it's impossible to move as quickly as you would hope. We carefully made our way down and cheered on people going the opposite direction. Everyone asked, "how much further" and we'd give our best guess. It felt guiltily great not to be in their shoes even though I had just done the same thing. Thirty minutes later, calves burning, we made it to the bottom and immediately walked in to crowds of tourists.
[making it to the top of Machu Picchu Mountain]
People everywhere taking photos and moving slow in groups made me thank our tour guides for getting us here when the gates open. Annoyed of the foreigners, Ryan and I weaved in and out of everyone until we reached the exit. There are no bathrooms inside Machu Picchu so if you do need the toilet, you must leave and reenter. I held my pee the entire 5+ hours to avoid this and gladly paid 1 sol ($.33) to use the facility. It's a tourist frenzy outside the gates and every vendor is robbing the visitors with outrageous prices. Ryan paid $4 for a soda (a bottle of water costed the same) and we took off to once again climb down stairs. Most people book a train out of Machu Picchu especially after spending days trekking and touring the Inca village, but we opted out and went for the cheaper option; walking back to hideroelectrica. Two hours walking along the train tracks again in the rain until we reached our lunch spot from the day before where we shoveled a three course meal down (10 soles/$3.33) washed it down with a beer and headed to the bridge to find a ride back to Cusco. Luckily a station wagon had two seats open heading for Cusco and we immediately drove off. When rocking up to a collectiva you sometimes have to wait up to an hour until the van fills up. Our driver told us our ride was direct to Cusco, yet when arriving in Santa Maria we were shuffled in to another car. And we sat there over an hour begging the driver to leave. Finally the almost full van of annoyed customers took off and three long, bumpy hours later we arrived in Cusco. Half asleep we returned to our home away from home, Intro Hostel. While checking in, I realized my iPhone was not with me. I had left it in the backseat of the van. I dropped everything and sprinted out the door. I remembered hearing they were stopping in San Fran plaza which was just a few blocks downhill from the hostel. With every bit of energy I flew down to the square. Eyes wide in search of the van, I prayed all the way down getting weird looks and even a "slow down" from a passerby. From a distance I saw one pulling away about to turn the corner and disappear forever. I bolted down to it and banged on the window when I recognized the driver. He pulled over and out of breath I mumbled some words about my phone. I climbed in and THANK PACHAMAMA it was still there! 10 seconds later and my phone would have been gone for good. A great way to end a brutal, exhausting day but hey I climbed some mountains, explored 15th century ruins, and my legs got the workout of their life. After a tall glass of red wine, I happily climbed into my bunk with no alarm clock to wake me up.

Tigers shoot downWooster for wins
There were a few anxious moments in the second quarter on Friday night before the Douglas High boys basketball team turned up the heat on its way to an 84-52 homecoming win against Wooster.
The Tigers scored 14 points during a span of two minutes to turn a 19-16 deficit into a 30-22 advantage and went on to secure their playoff-clinching Sierra League victory at Randy Green Court.
Douglas (6-8 league, 8-15 overall) is assured of a No. 4 seed for the Northern 4A Region Tournament, which begins on Feb. 14. The Tigers will play their final home game on Tuesday (7 p.m.) against Galena and then wrap up the regular season on Friday at Carson.
Wooster (0-14, 2-22) scored nine unanswered points, the last when Jeff Lawrence buried a 3-pointer off an assist from Jory Richardson, to take a 19-16 lead with 5:17 left before halftime.
The Tigers answered immediately when Andrew Collins converted an offensive rebound into a three-point play to tie the score. Moments later, Chase Jackson turned a backcourt steal into a layup. Ian Ozolins followed with a pair of free throws and then fed Austin Clutts for a 3-pointer from the left side as the Tigers surged to a 26-19 lead with 4:00 showing on the clock. Brady Rodina knocked down a jumper, assisted by Ty Jackson, to extend the margin to 37-26 and the Tigers never looked back.
Eight different players combined to score 27 points in the second quarter to make it 41-31 at the intermission.
Ozolins finished with 16 points, including a perfect 10-for-10 from the free throw line to lead the Tigers offensively. Andrew Collins added 15 points and Hunter Morris 10.
Ozolins grabbed eight rebounds, while Rodina and Chase Jackson dished out three assists each.
Benjamin Zelisse-Stewart led all scorers with 19 points, while Lawrence scored 17 for the Colts.
Other than 19-16, the only other time Wooster led was 2-0 when Zelisse-Stewart sank two free throws after Douglas was assessed a technical foul for dunking during pregame warmups.
Douglas won the freshman game, 47-46.
Ashlynn Campbell produced a school single-game record seven 3-pointers to lead Douglas past Wooster, 63-11, and into sole possession of second-place.
Douglas (8-6 league, 12-13 overall) moved one game ahead of Galena coming into a 5:15 p.m. matchup between the two teams Tuesday at Randy Green Court.
Campbell shot 6-for-8 from beyond the arc in the second half and finished with a season-high 27 points. The 5-foot-9 senior guard connected on three successive threes at the outset of the third quarter. The last shot in that string came from the top of the key off an assist from senior Madison Rodgers. Emily Carr assisted on another later in the third quarter, then Alexa Moss and Karla Sanchez assisted on two more in the fourth.
Hannah Carr also scored 12 points for the Tigers, who led 18-3 after one quarter against Wooster (0-14, 3-18).
Moss finished with four assists on the night and Campbell had three.
Douglas won the frosh game, 53-17.

New Research Vessel to Impact Marine Research Across Florida
The R/V W.T Hogarth will support the research of over two dozen institutions and agencies across the state.
With the crack of two bottles of champagne and the blessing from a local priest, Florida's newest research vessel, the R/V W.T. Hogarth, was christened and launched for the first-time Tuesday May 23, 2017.
(L to R) Florida Representative Kathleen M. Peters, and USF System President Judy Genshaft break bottles of champagne over the newly christened W.T. Hogarth.
The 78-foot vessel, named after William T. Hogarth, Ph.D, the Florida Institute of Oceanography's former director and the former dean of the University of South Florida's College of Marine Science, will be used to support research efforts by USF, as well as more than two dozen institutions and agencies across Florida.
The W.T. Hogarth is lowered into the water for the first time.
Legislators worked hard to keep the contract local, and challenged Duckworth Steel Boats of Tarpon Springs with designing and building the ship.
"It was a little different than anything else we've worked on, but it means a lot to me because I like to see that the oceans are being taking care of," said Junior Duckworth, owner of Duckworth Steel Boats.
This fall, the W.T. Hogarth will replace the nearly 50-year old R/V Bellows, by joining the FIO's academic fleet with an inaugural voyage, undertaking a circumnavigation of Florida's coast.
After serving research crews for nearly four decades, the R/V Bellows will be retired in the fall of 2017.
"The W.T. Hogarth is an incredible research vessel that will be instrumental in helping our researchers and our students study our shorelines, our Gulf and the greater oceans of the world," said USF System President Judy Genshaft.
The watercraft is expected to be used for refined bottom mapping, metal tracing, surveying, collecting samples and much more.
"It's a floating classroom," Dr. Hogarth said.
A graduate of the University of Richmond, Hogarth earned his doctorate at the North Carolina State University, and began his career studying the effects of nuclear power plants on marine resources for Carolina Power and Light. He went on to become the director of the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries for eight years, before joining the National Marine Fisheries Service in 1994.
William T. Hogarth, PhD, humbly speaks to the crowd during the christening ceremony.
In 2001, Hogarth became the director of the NMFS and was appointed by former President, George W. Bush, to serve as the United States Commissioner and Chairman for both the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic tuna and the International Whaling commission.
He became the interim dean of USF's College of Marine Science in 2008, and in 2010 lead his team in instrumental research efforts during the immediate aftermath of the explosion on the oil-drilling platform Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico, whose findings impacted the restoration efforts and global understanding of oil spill dynamics.
Dr. Hogarth was named the director of the FIO in 2011, an organization established by the Florida Board of Governors, to share marine science resources between the state's universities and private, non-profit marine research entities.
"For a person that worked in fisheries and oceanography, to have a vessel named after you, it's the ultimate," said Hogarth.
The $6.3 million asset, which will call the USF College of Marine Science campus in St. Petersburg home, was funded by the City of St. Petersburg, FIO and its member institutions, including the University of South Florida, University of West Florida, Florida Atlantic University, Florida Gulf Coast University, University of North Florida, University of Florida, Florida Institute of Technology, Eckerd College, Florida International University, Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University, Nova Southeastern, University of Central Florida, and Florida State University which matched the $3 million appropriated from the State of Florida in 2016.

Introductin jesse_ross
I am jesse ross and I am a farmer. I mostly farm wheat and and some other various vegtables. I am 24 years old and more than capable of handling the farm on my own. I live alone and I also have a business that sells bread so as you can imagine the third estate somtimes raids my bread. I am from a town called mace and my whole family was from there until they passed away. I am taxed very heavily which definatley does take away from the income on the farm. I am a humble man and I have just learned to live with the mistreatment of the 1st and 2nd estate. I own alot of land because of the farm, so i get taxed very heavily for the land that I own.

Taxes Are Fair
The third estate should not be complaining about taxes. They are very fair, and essentially in return you get protection. We are trying our best and the country is in great debt and need the money from the taxes.

This is ridiculous. You should try having to protect everyone in the Third Estate while praying all day! I'd be quiet or execution might be coming your way.

State Sen. Ralph Alvarado settles defamation lawsuit against consultant Dale Emmons
Republican state Sen. Ralph Alvarado of Winchester has reached a settlement in his defamation lawsuit against Democratic political consultant Dale Emmons, though Alvarado's legal battle against former state Sen. R.J. Palmer continues.
Alvarado's attorney, Christopher Hunt of Lexington, said Wednesday that Alvarado has received a signed public apology from Emmons.
He also said "financial provisions" were involved in the settlement with Emmons but both Alvarado and Hunt declined to reveal them. Hunt also said they would not be spelled out in the settlement.
"My focus has not been so much on money, though I had to spend a pretty good amount of money in pursuing this. It was a matter of principle for me," said Alvarado in a brief interview.
"We have gotten an apology from Mr. Emmons. We still are going to pursue one from Mr. Palmer."
During the election campaign for the 28th Senate District in October 2014, Alvarado, a medical doctor, sued Palmer, the incumbent from Winchester, and Palmer's campaign consultant, Emmons, for defamation involving a campaign ad.
Alvarado also sought a restraining order to stop the television ad. However, a Scott circuit judge a few days before the election refused to grant the order.
Alvarado contended that the ad used spliced courtroom footage to cast him as a drug dealer.
The ad implied that he unlawfully prescribed $3,000 worth of oxycodone to a criminal defendant, Alvarado said. Video from the court hearing is clear that the defendant had a valid prescription for OxyContin, Alvarado said.
"Such a blatant characterization against a small-town family doctor was beyond the pale, even for politics," attorney Hunt said Wednesday. "The ad went after Dr. Alvarado's professional career and personal character."
Palmer, who had been the Senate minority leader, initially said Alvarado's claims had no merit. Palmer's attorney, Brian Thomas of Winchester, did not respond to a call for comment.
"Despite Mr. Hunt's gloating, the agreement with Dr. Alvarado makes clear that I did nothing wrong," Emmons said Wednesday in a statement.
"It reads: "Settlement Agreement does not constitute an admission of any fault, liability, or wrongdoing, or the validity of the allegations, claims, or contentions of any party to this settlement agreement made in or asserted in the Clark Civil Action,' " Emmons said.
Emmons said he conferred with his attorney and decided "it was time to move on."
Alvarado's attorney disclosed the apology from Emmons. It said: "Dr. Alvarado was not involved in any criminal activity. I am publicly apologizing to Dr. Alvarado for creating a misimpression in the advertisement to the contrary. Dr. Alvarado was not involved in his patient's illegal drug activity."

Royal Recognition
Wednesday - February 11, 2004 - Tom Hooper, FEG's ExCo Member is honoured by Queen Elizabeth II, with an MBE (Member of the British Empire). Tom has played a key role through the foundation of tourist guiding institute in the UK. He was working in conjunction as joint President with Fiona Grant and the Palace decided that this should be a joint investiture - quite unusual - for which they had to have a special little rehearsal to advance together instead of singly, to bow and courtesy, advance towards the sovereign, retreat walking backwards, etc. Quite a choreography! You can see the award he was about to receive from that on Fiona's breast.
In any event it is yet another small step in the recognition of the tourist guide as a professional and the tourist guide's contribution to the field of tourism.

About Deep Culture Music and Myles Bigelow:
Vancouver's Deep Culture Music is pleased to present the latest release from Myles Bigelow, the Abstract Forte EP. Myles has an extensive and dynamic musical background, and is not only a talented DJ and producer but also a vocalist and world-renowned percussionist. As a percussionist Myles toured the world with Latin Grammy winning artists Orlando "Maraca" Valle and the Alex Cuba Band, as well as sharing the stage with the likes of Wynton Marsalis, Earth Wind & Fire, and Heracio "El Negro" Hernandez. He formed Deep Culture Music with Luis Machuca to further his interest in rhythm, combining it with soulful New York and Chicago bred styles of house music. In addition, Myles has previously released tracks on Pure Funk, Future Elements, and NeoSoul, the latter being the home to "Believe," his recent collaboration with Julius Papp and vocalist Deborah Bond.
About Myles Bigelow's Abstract Forte EP:
Myles Bigelow's latest EP, Abstract Forte, was influenced by his father who is an abstract artist, teaching Myles the concept of automatism, meaning detached awareness as if observing. This is an approach to image making practiced by the surrealists and adopted by the abstract expressionists as a mandate for unrestricted expression. Applied to music, it allows for the free association of sounds arranged in a coherent manner that reflects a deeper, more profound experience. On the Abstract Forte EP, Myles surrendered to the untapped potential of his sound gear restricted by nothing but the limits of his own creativity. Samples were approached as a palette of colours applied with no regard for the risk of mistakes. Abstractionism offers a way to break through the restraints of conventional thinking exposing a panorama of untapped possibilities. In this case the uncensored results sound like combinations of deep funky, moody, techy, spacey grooves. The feel is refreshingly an old school warehouse feel, harking back to when the music was new and there were less 'rules' in making house music. More importantly, these grooves were made to bang! "Expressionism," "Primal Urge," and "Do It For The Juice" … one can count on these tracks shaking up the dance floor with authority.
Doc Martin - "Deep left coast stuff, just the way we like it!"
Marques Wyatt - "Dope!"
Master Kev - "'Expressionism' is a tight track … will definitely support."
Abicah Soul - "'Do It For The Juice' is the dope one for me."
Robert Owens - "Great tracks."
Ant Plate (Rhythm Plate / YSE) - "'Expressionism' is quirky in a good way, but 'Do It For The Juice' … baby!"
Hippie Torrales - "Nice grooves."
Joey Silvero (Distant People) - "There's a cool warehouse sound to 'Primal Urge' … the rumbling low end is really nice."
DJ Nova (Rodon FM, Greece) - "This release is full of raw spirit and old school power. It is magic the way that Myles connects all these keys, elements, and vocal samples from the early days under the umbrella of today's house experience."
Bruce Tantum (Time Out NY) - "Loving this one … old-school vibes with a modern edge. Hot!"
Russell Deeks (This Is Why We Dance) - "Solid deeper house vibes."
Michael Fossati (Spirit Of House) - "Fresh, inspiring use of samples makes 'Primal Urge' a wicked old school track not to be missed."

After a full and fun weekend, it was hard to come back to the office yesterday. Luckily, I had enough work to keep me busy, and a few of us went out for a very large and very tasty Mexican lunch. So that made Monday somewhat better. Today, I'm not so sure. I don't seem to have much to do, and I am feeling daydreamy and un-useful. It's going to be a long day.
I am looking forward to open mic. I've been missing the boy. It was weird not to have Sharif around over the weekend, even with as much fun as I was having in New York on Saturday and with Erica-pre-birthday celebrating on Sunday. Speaking of that, Erica's birthday is tomorrow, so everyone should give her good wishes! Consider this your advance warning.

The most wonderful day of the year
Hurrah! There are so many stupid days of acknowledgement – National Chip Day springs to mind – but here is a subject genuinely deserving of its own day, if not a week or more. National Bookshop Day!
Disclaimer: I live in the Dark Ages. I care not for e-books and rarely purchase titles from internet retailers. I am all about bookshops and paper books therefore this post may be unashamedly biased and possibly over the top.
Anyway, this is just a short one to remind/inform you that tomorrow is National Bookshop Day and you should definitely get involved, even if you normally wouldn't bother with such old-fashioned notions as bookshops.
I'm not going to write a load of nonsense about the decline of the print industry, the therapeutic nature of reading or the inability of today's society to entertain itself without moving pictures and spoonfeeding. If you don't love books, I'm unlikely to be able to persuade you here; if you do, I'm preaching to the converted.
However, I will say that National Bookshop Day is as good a day as any to pop along to a real bookshop and have a poke around. On the plus side, there could be free books, special offers and competitions instore. On the downside, it might be full of people after free books. But anything that highlights the mere existence of bookshops has to be a good thing, and I'd rather you went there on Saturday and got swept along with the mob than didn't bother at all.
If you don't know where the bookshops around you are, just Google it. You might be surprised how close the nearest one is. I am spoiled for choice in Sydney: we have dozens of bookshops and there's value in all of them – even the big ones!
Go and play in a bookshop this weekend! Even if you hate books, buy one for someone you like. Then one for yourself, because books are ace. Even if you think you hate them, you probably just haven't met the right one yet x
