Best HVAC Systems for Commercial Systems
Much like businesses, not all commercial HVAC systems are the same. Some businesses are smaller than others and some businesses are in different industries. So when looking for a new commercial HVAC system, a restaurant will not be looking for the same heating and cooling system as would an office building with multiple stories and more employees. Here are some things to remember when selecting the best HVAC systems that different industries should use.
Business Size Helps Determine Best HVAC
How large your business is will determine the size of the commercial HVAC system you will need. What is needed to be figured out is how much square footage that the building houses and how many people are employed there. For example, a factory that assembles car parts will need a larger HVAC system as compared to the local fast food drive-thru. The factory needs a larger HVAC system not just because of the much larger square footage than a restaurant, but also because there are more people employed there. In this case the best HVAC systems will not be something smaller, like ductless HVAC, but a larger, comprehensive system to cover the square footage.
Location is an Important Factor
Depending upon size of the business, the best HVAC systems will be rooftop units. This is important, especially if the business is neighbors with other businesses and properties, and an added benefit is that it would be out of sight for customers who come to your business.
Ductless vs. Ductwork HVAC Systems
The important differentiation between ductless HVAC systems and systems with ductwork is if there are multiple rooms or "zones" in your business, or if the business is open like a warehouse or open factory. Such businesses like a restaurant or an office space that has more rooms, have the zones. These types of businesses are best to have a ductless system so you have better ability to heat up or cool down specific parts of the business.
Modular Helps Better Your Commercial HVAC System in the Future
If you have a commercial HVAC system that is not modular and you want to eventually expand and add on to your business, this is not one of the best HVAC systems for your goals. A modular system is one that allows more components to be added that will further improve indoor air quality while lowering your monthly bills with highly-efficient equipment installed.

24 Sept 2017Santinabez, Spain
Lest anyone who is following my schedule should be feeling impressed with my progress, I don't think I mentioned that I decided to credit myself with the solitude of desert walks I completed throughout my training in the neighborhood around Pipe Creek (in 80 to 90 degree weather) + time walked in Big Bend over the many vacations we have spent camping and hiking there. Setting that against the need to walk the section of the Camino that is called the Meseta – it is flat…much like getting up and taking a walk from El Paso to Amarillo, I hopped on my second bus for a ride through it and arrived in Leon (from Burgos.) It put me ahead of schedule but meant that I finally decided to cancel my Parador and dinner date with Cory. Since she was not able to come before the 26th, I recognized that there is just not enough Leon to really fill that length of time (almost 6 days) in any circumstance.
Against that rationalization, yesterday was one of the most joyful along this entire adventure. My walk was just a simple wonder for me. I was rising in the face of all my greatest fears of being lost and I boldly chose to do an "alternate route" that would keep me off the edge of the highway, and move me out through what I realized 1/3 of the way along that I was continuing on the fringe of Meseta-like land, and I was walking as if I was on my Bumpgate Road practice walk…without the fences and longhorns. I was completely at home in my world.
My pack got dropped off for transport at the Parador (something of me got to stay for a while in the luxury of the Parador) and I lurked outside the main entrance where peregrinos passed on the route out of town. When I realized there was a little cafe across the plaza where I could get my "git-er-dun" cup of Cafe con Leche, I headed over and waited out the glimmer of safety most of us find in first light when we don't have to wear headlamps to walk. As I went back to latch onto the hem of a group headed in my direction, I remembered Anne's directive that if all else failed, follow Germans as they are hardwired for good gps sense. As I followed one couple, we came to the point where one eats some protein-carb item (ham/cheese/bread sandwich or potato/egg frittata like thing called a tortilla). Mine is always the tortilla as it requires the least amount of chewing. And it goes well with the 2d café con lèche. Unfailingly served with a large hunk of baguette.
In order to be in the shade, I had taken a space next to someone who was also in search of the alternate and while not being German, he was close enough for me. He was Belgian. We pondered a plan and the bar owner came over and gave us a printed map and flier from his good friend's albergue in the place we were headed. Confidence enshrouded us both.
We headed out and covered 11k and a vast number of important and unimportant issues, surprisingly finding ourselves at yet another bar, just in time for lunch. From there it was a breeze. He decided to walk on and I signed in to my reserved space at Albergue de Jesus.
I arranged my bunk, washed my clothes and body in the same shower (take all your clothes off, soap up and as you rinse off, add a little extra shampoo to the clothes you are standing on and it causes washing action. Step up and down on them a few extra times and then rinse everything well). I walked some more steps and met a couple of friends at their albergue where the evening meal would be held.
We also walked around town….all 30 buildings, not including the church. Storks nests sat on top of the pillars on the bell tower.
Supper was good, sunset was great and they bought me an extra beer to celebrate the 500,000th step I had taken as Henry and I crossed the street to head into the wilderness trail cum Pipe Creek.
This is, for me thus far, not mystical or magical. It has been hard work and steady improvement in attitude and outcomes. What I realized on this day however was that it was most definitely a journey and a recognition of the beauty of walking and seeing the place and hearing the sounds and moving forward…chirping birds, crunching stones and gravel, another peregrino about to pass you, signaled by his/her approaching shadow and the sound of the click of walking sticks. Knowing for the most part that your pack would be faithfully delivered ahead of you for Jaco-Trans small fee of $5 and expert delivery skills and you would get the bed you had called ahead for and reserved in your best effort at speaking Spanish on the phone and understanding the return fire, unhesitating rapid-fire commentary from the guy at the other end (It closes out with me spelling my name in the Spanish – just K-I-M) – all this gives me a warm wash of feel-good.
The routine is pretty secure, less frantic and the absence of Anne's snoring has not yet been replaced with anything nearly as strong, loud and unrelenting. There is a heavy Spanish guy who followed me in however tonight so the challenge might be on to replace her honors. Fortunately he is 4 beds away from me.

"Our customers look to Sigma for advanced product innovation across our portfolio to solve their critical business challenges – Sigma Order Management certainly delivers on that expectation."
Sigma Order Management introduces several unique features to Order Management including,
Enterprise Catalog-Driven by Design:

- Provides dynamic workflow optimization at runtime for each order instance
Advanced User Interaction:
- Provides end-to-end visual tracking of orders through the system from cradle to grave
- Shows the orchestration flows graphically at both design-time and runtime

In improving the efficiency of the storage, you need to really pay attention on making your limited counter space Useful. You can put a cabinet in your kitchen to hold things such as dishes and appliances. You can also install deeper counters to improve higher efficiency in using the space. With those arrangements, you can save more space in your kitchen.
Besides, you can also take advantage of your kitchen wall to install mounting racks or shelves. You can use these storage types to store your pots, pans, food, as well as your cookbooks. You can even install a pot rack in your ceiling to store your pots and pans, so the wall rack or shelves could be used to store other tools and stuffs.

You can even find some designs of built-in kitchen table. Just take the best design that will be perfect for the shape of your kitchen. You should need to make it appropriate with the certain theme and decor that you use in organizing your kitchen.
Then, lighting is also important in giving wider effect for your small kitchen.

Cheap dishwashers
Life is sweet nowadays for people who love to eat but hate to work in the kitchen. And life is sweeter for people who are on a tight budget but want to sit back and relax while some machines do kitchen chores.
Dishwashers are one miracle for the kitchen. We can have no worries after a family meal, small gathering of friends or a buffet party. Just do a quick rinse and stack the dishes into the dishwasher and join the company for a relaxing moment. With so many dishwashers present in the market, Selecting the best quality dishwashers in India is a time consuming task.
But the overwhelming global economic crisis put hesitations on our choices of getting hold of kitchen helpers.
To cope up the stress of the recession, we become wiser. We tend to shop for brands of cheap dishwashers.
The market while competing for our attention, showers us with cheap dishwashers without forfeiting standards and performance aside from designs and innovations. Many cheap dishwashers give satisfaction in terms of efficiency and electrical cost.
Well-known dishwasher brands also vie for designs and practicality that will suit people of different lifestyles as they offer us with portable, built-in, countertop, tabletop and compact dishwashers in different colors and sizes. Installations and controls are no nightmares since dishwashers today are user-friendly. We will not only enjoy the prices but we will have fun to operate it.
But where in the world to find cheap dishwashers? We cannot always ask our parent to have their ever-first dishwasher but we can visit appliance stores and do some rundown of prices and brands. The internet also offers wide information where we can compare prices and specifications of brands.

Amanda urges the City of Onkaparinga to increase Green Bin collection
Local residents are frustrated that the City of Onkaparinga is the only council in metropolitan Adelaide that collects Green Bins monthly, rather than fortnightly.
Residents in the City of Onkaparinga pay very high council rates, and they do not deserve a lower service standard than other council areas.
Amanda has been urging the Council to introduce a fortnightly service, and will continue to do so.

Social Media
Has anyone set up a CLD facebook, twitter or instagram page as a form of engagement to publicise groups/courses and other items of interest?
Hi Catriona
We have a Facebook page for Working4U Adult Learning. It's administrated by my colleague Laura Anderson.
This is the page:
I'll pass your email on to Laura, she set the page up in consultation with our IT and communications sections
Hi Catriona,
we have a Facebook and Twitter account setup for the youth participation project in Scottish Borders Council. We use it to advertise projects, communicate with young people, parents and professionals and also as a group work tool. Due to the rural nature of the Scottish Borders bringing young people together is very expensive, so we use closed and secret groups as a way of planning and communicating in between sessions. It was setup with assistance from our IT and Coms teams but even still should come with a health warning. We've definitely had our ups and downs with Facebook.
hi Ceri
thanks for the info. What are the health warrnings!? What is the difference between a closed group and a secret group? We have a facebook page that we set up about 3/4 years ago and currently looking to see how we can engage better and get tips about what we put on our page. We are always looking for new ideas. I shall have a look at your page and 'like it'. Ours is https://www.facebook.com/discoverlearningdundee
We also have a twitter page https://twitter.com/DLDundee
We are finding that this isn't as popular as our facebook page.
oh where to start. we've had some lessons to learn along the way.
Admins for the page: make sure you have 2 or more admins linked to the page you are setting up
Profiles used to set page up: if you are starting from scratch and creating some work Facebook profiles to manage the page make sure you update them regularly and that they don't look like a work profile. Facebook wants people to use their personal Facebook profiles to manage pages and groups but as CLD worker we know this is not good idea. if Facebook suspect your profile is a work one they will close your account without any warning (this happened to us a couple of months ago). this is just one of the reasons why it's crucial to have 2 admins on your page so that if one of you loses their account there is still another profile linked to manage your page.
Monitoring time: make sure that on your page you state the times that the page is monitored between. This is both for the public to know when you might reply to messages but also to prevent staff logging in to check the page at weekends. Try not to download the app to your mobile because unless disciplined you will have to fight the urge to check your Facebook and Twitter accounts when you are not at work.
Closed and secret groups: The main difference is that closed groups can be found by typing the name of the group into the Facebook search bar and people are able to request access to the group, where as secret groups are invitation only. Again for the same reason as above make sure there are 2 admins on the groups you setup.
Twitter vs Facebook: we have more followers on Twitter than Facebook simply because we've found it's easier for us to go out and follow other people on twitter and they generally follow us back. you can link your twitter and Facebook so that if you post to twitter this will automatically post to Facebook and vice versa but I would try it out and see if it suits you first.
Increasing Engagement: Photos and videos get more views, shares and likes than simple text posts. For Twitter find an organisation similar to your and go through who they are following and choose who you wold also like to follow. This is a quick and easy way to increase your followers. Use your accounts regularly and have a plan for what you want to tweet and post to Facebook. If you download an app like hootsuite you could do the planning on a Monday and schedule your tweets and Facebook posts for the rest of the week so that it doesn't feel like you have to allocate time everyday to come up with posts. Also make sure you add your facebook and twitter accounts to any marketing materials you have.
Hope this isn't too much information and is helpful to you. Happy to answer any more questions you might have.
Hi all,
You might find the resources on the Digitally Agile CLD website www.digitallyagilecld.org and the Digitally Agile National Principles of use when planning using social media in your CLD.
The resources include a range of guidance and policy documents, research and initiatives as well as case studies.
Best wishes,
We are just about to look at Facebook other social media as promotional/networking tools - I already use it with groups (closed and secret) and as a networking tool for workers in the area I work with. Our Adult Learning and Youth Services in Stirling have pages already.
Thanks Pauline for sharing your pages. I shall have a look at them and 'like' them. It's good to get ideas from other local authorities. Our page is https://www.facebook.com/discoverlearningdundee/
Stirling's Adult Learning Team has both a Facebook and Twitter account. Any of the main staff team can post to either account.

Thanks Ruth for sharing your pages. Will explore and 'like them'. Will help us to get ideas for our own pages. Here is our links https://www.facebook.com/discoverlearningdundee
Hi Catriona, within Adult Learning & Literacies, Renfrewshire Council, we have the RC website which purely states the courses available and a pdf has been uploaded, and twitter etc. We don't really have the resources to encourage active engagement or discussions effectively within our service, due to staff or time implications. We have various restrictions as to when or where we can use social media within venues etc, also worker's and public pc's have different restrictions. In the past we have used Yahoo groups.com (quite some time ago!) and it worked great within Adult Literacies and was very participative, however, we did have a member of staff who took on the role of managing it.
hi Susan
thank you for your info. Its great to see what Renfrew is up to. This is Dundee City Council Adult Learning facebook page https://www.facebook.com/discoverlearningdundee
and our twitter page is https://twitter.com/dldundee
We have a communications group made up of CLD Workers to oversee social media and other forms of communication such as our newsletter. Currently we are looking at new ways of improving our pages and making sure we are using them purposefully as possible.
Hi Cationa ...
We use Facebook quite a lot in South Lanarkshire - I'll post links here and explain who does what.
Aln Camglen CLHSP
This page was created by myself and my colleague Greta Fordyce - we are the Adult Literacy and Numeracy Workers for the Cambuslang and Rutherglen area.
Cambuslang Rutherglen Area - Community Learning and Home School Partnership
This page represents the service I work for - it encompasses Community Learning, ALN, Home School Partnership and other colleagues including Early Years Workers and Attendance Officers, so it's a bit like a one-stop shop.
CLHSP is divided into four localities in South Lanarkshire, so you'll also find pages for East Kilbride, Hamilton and the Larkhall area. I'm putting their links here too:
I'm going to echo the caveats about using Facebook. It's a great way of reaching out and engaging with people but it definitely takes time, effort and vigilance to make it work. Greta and I are both admins for our page and we only "friend" people we know, and their friends. We've had to block a couple of people because they had posted inappropriate stuff, and we sent them a private message to tell them why. Our main group page has had the same issue, so my senior monitors that page as she is one of its admins and does the same thing.
We set up Facebook accounts for work so that we never post as ourselves, only Aln Camglen CLHSP. I'd like to use Twitter to reach more learners and that's a conversation which is ongoing within the service.
Hope this helps!
Julia :-)
Thanks Julia for all this information. The response to this subject is great and its great getting info from round the country. Locality facebook pages was mentioned recently at our communications meeting - this is where a number of CLD workers come together to discuss our social media pages and other forms of commnication such as our newsletter. I will spend time looking at all the facebook pages you have provided and share this with my colleagues. I agree social media can have its downside. We produced guidelines and luckily we haven't had to deal with inappropriate responses (so far!)
In Midlothian we have just started a social media presence. We have a number of admins within the team and post from a generic account rather than as individuals however we identify ourselves when messaging people. We avoided going down the route of lots of separate groups for social media. Our Adults and Families page is the better developed bit as a couple of us are keen users of social media and digital technology generally.
We also have a twitter feed and a word press blog. The blog needs a bit more focus and some regular contributions. We have a number of partners in the local area that are now sharing and liking our events and posts and this is helping with the reach of the posts.
If you want to have a look, then check us out here:

Cassette culture — "Who buys tapes?!"
I was alerted to this documentary yesterday by a couple of eagle-eyed twitter followers. Created by The Vinyl Factory, the short film explores the small but passionate community of music lovers who strive to keep the cassette tape audio format alive. The camera crew also happen to randomly pay a visit to Tapeline on the day that the cassette version of my album Double Life was born.
Take a look at the video in full below. And to answer the question I posed in the title of this post, lots of us.

Reduce Your Corporate Risk with an ADA Audit by PaperStreet
Redesign your website today to comply with the American with Disabilities Act (ADA). We have the necessary experience and knowledge to improve accessibility of your website through careful design and development improvements, as needed.
Web accessibility is designed to promote access by individuals with various disablements, including mobility impairments, visual and hearing impairments, epilepsy, and cognitive impairments that can make working with computers challenging.
It is important for corporations and individuals to understand that the disabled may not be able to see, hear, or move easily, or at all. They may be required to use an early version of a browser, a different browser entirely, a voice browser, or a different operating system. The use of these alternate technologies may result in difficulties reading or comprehending non-ADA compliant websites.
Designing websites that meet ADA accessibility standards allows those with disabilities to view content on the web, while also improving your websites search engine optimization and website usability. More than 54 million Americans are disabled and nearly 10 percent of the online population has a disability. Corporations and web designers have a responsibility to the disabled community to design websites that are accessible. Further, good business practice suggests that an audience with more than 188 billion dollars in discretionary income should not be ignored.
While currently only federal websites must comply with the ADA, the U.S. Congress has mandated that all vendors providing services to the government must also meet Section 508 standards. Soon, corporations will also be required by law to comply with ADA standards. Reduce your corporate risk and enhance your corporate image today by contacting us for a compliance check.

- Tchaikovsky - Romeo & Juliet Overture
- Ritchie - Cartoon: Fantasy for Oboe & Orchestra
- Stravinsky - Firebird Suite
- Conductor - Antun Poljanich
- Soloist - Noah Rudd
Hear the symphony orchestra at its most colourful in Tchaikovsky's beautiful "Romeo & Juliet Overture", the New Zealand premiere of Anthony Ritchie's "Cartoon: Fantasy for Oboe & Orchestra" performed by Noah Rudd, the 2017 AYO Concerto Competiton Winner, and as the programme name suggests – Stravinsky's breathtaking "Firebird Suite".
The Auckland Youth Orchestra is the premier regional youth orchestra in New Zealand. Our vision is to inspire young people to excellence through their love of musical performance and to provide them with a wide range of cultural experiences, thus shaping our leaders of tomorrow. Auckland Youth Orchestra draws its members from throughout the wider Auckland region, the majority of which are University or high school students.
Many past members of the orchestra have gone on to become professional musicians. Over the orchestra's 69-year history, more than 2,600 young adults from diverse cultural and social backgrounds have passed through its ranks, having received expert training in orchestral playing.
Antun Poljanich - Auckland Youth Orchestra Music Director.
Antun has been the Music Director of Auckland Youth Orchestra since 1998 and the ensemble has seen great success in New Zealand and beyond. Also Head of the Music Faculty at St. Peter's College in Newmarket, Auckland, Antun was awarded the St. Peter's College Scholarship for his contribution to musical education in New Zealand.
Noah Rudd - Oboe soloist.
Noah began his journey on the oboe with Alison Jepson at the age of 9. He is now in his second year of a Bachelor of Music at the University of Auckland, studying with Martin Lee after a year with Robert Orr in which he was awarded the George Hopkins Prize for the most outstanding woodwind student of the year.
Last year, Noah was also awarded an APO Orchestral Internship, where he was mentored by principal oboist Bede Hanley, and played in the Myths and Legends concert with the orchestra earlier this year. Noah has been a member of the Auckland Youth Orchestra since 2014. In his first year in the AYO, Noah was the recipient of the Howard Wyatt Memorial Scholarship for Excellence in Musical Performance - a scholarship generously presented by the Lodge of the Liberal Arts No. 500.

Justia Mississippi Supreme Court Opinion Summaries
Articles Posted in Government & Administrative Law
In the Matter of the Enlarging, Extending and Defining the Corporate Limits and Boundaries of the City of Clarksdale, Coahoma County, Mississippi v. City of Clarksdale
The Chancery Court of Coahoma County granted in part the petition of the City of Clarksdale, Mississippi, to annex land situated in Coahoma County that surrounded the city. Coahoma County appealed, arguing that the chancellor manifestly erred by finding that the annexation was reasonable. Clarksdale cross-appealed, arguing that the chancellor manifestly erred by finding that its annexation of certain land situated north of the city was unreasonable. Finding that the chancellor's decision was supported by substantial, credible evidence and was not manifestly wrong, the Mississippi Supreme Court affirmed.

Mississippi Gaming & Hospitality Association v. Diamondhead Real Estate, LLC
The Mississippi Gaming & Hospitality Association (Association) petitioned the Mississippi Supreme Court for interlocutory review of a circuit court judgment denying its motions to participate as a respondent-appellee in the appeals filed by RW Development, LLC (RW), and Diamondhead Real Estate, LLC (Diamondhead) after the Mississippi Gaming Commission denied their applications for gaming site approval. The circuit court instead allowed the Association to participate as "friend[] of the court" under the Mississippi Gaming Control Act. Finding nothing improper with the circuit court's decision to allow the Association to participate as amicus curiae, the Court affirmed the circuit court's decision.

Rosenfelt v. Mississippi Development Authority
In a contract dispute between film producer Adam Rosenfelt and the Mississippi Development Authority ("MDA"), Rosenfelt claimed the MDA promised loan guarantees so he could make movies in Mississippi. He made one film, which was not financially successful, and the MDA refused to guarantee the loan for his next project. Rosenfelt claimed the MDA breached a contract with him, personally. The Mississippi Supreme Court concluded Rosenfelt lacked standing to file suit: the actual documents showed any agreement was between the MDA and one or more LLCs, not Rosenfelt personally. Furthermore, the Court determined no error has been shown as to the dismissal of one of those LLCs, Element Studios, LLC, for want of standing. View "Rosenfelt v. Mississippi Development Authority" on Justia Law

NRG Wholesale Generation LP v. Kerr
At issue before the Mississippi Supreme Court in this case was whether NRG Wholesale Generation's proffered expert used an acceptable method to determine the "true value" of its power plant in computing ad valorem tax. The expert used a mixture of the sales-comparison approach, the income approach, and the cost approach to determine the true value of the facility. Lori Kerr, the tax assessor for Choctaw County, and Choctaw County, Mississippi (collectively, the "County"), contended that Mississippi law mandates a trended historical cost-less-depreciation approach to calculate the true value of industrial personal property. The circuit court found in favor of the County and excluded NRG's proffered expert testimony. NRG argued the circuit court abused its discretion. In addition, NRG also argued the circuit court erred in denying its motion to change venue because because many of the jurors knew the county officials named as defendants in this case, a fair trial in Choctaw County was impossible. The Supreme Court held the Mississippi Department of Revenue (the "DOR") regulation controlled and that NRG's expert applied an unacceptable method to determine true value. Therefore, the circuit court did not err in excluding NRG's proffered expert testimony. Additionally, because NRG was afforded a fair and impartial jury, the circuit court did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion to change venue. View "NRG Wholesale Generation LP v. Kerr" on Justia Law
Kansler v. Mississippi Department of Revenue
Michael and Vickie Kansler moved to Mississippi from New York for Michael's job and, over the following years, exercised stock options stemming from that employment. The Kanslers took the position that the stock options' income was taxable only in Mississippi, which reduced their tax burden significantly. New York saw things differently and found a substantial portion of the income taxable by New York. This liability to another state would have entitled the Kanslers to a credit on their Mississippi taxes worth more than $250,000. However, by the time the New York audit was finished, the Mississippi statute of limitations barred the Kanslers from amending their Mississippi returns. They argued the Mississippi statute of limitations unconstitutionally discriminated against interstate commerce. The Mississippi Supreme Court determined Mississippi's treatment of the statute of limitations for amending tax returns was "unremarkable" and appeared to be shared with many other states. The Kanslers' dormant Commerce Clause argument, on the other hand, was novel, and depended on an unprecedented and erroneous attempt to apply the "internal consistency test," intended to evaluate the apportionment of taxes, to the collateral effects of a statute of limitations. The Court held that the challenge was instead governed by the discrimination/Pike v. Bruce Church, Inc. 397 U.S. 137 (1070) balancing test employed by the United States Supreme Court in Bendix Autolite Corp. v. Midwesco Enterprises Inc., 486 U.S. 888 (1988), the only United States Supreme Court case to scrutinize a statute of limitations under the dormant Commerce Clause. The Court affirmed the Mississippi Department of Revenue's decision to refuse the refund request. View "Kansler v. Mississippi Department of Revenue" on Justia Law

Webster v. Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries & Parks
When Tammy Webster completed her National Guard training, she requested the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks (MDWFP) renew her contract as a part-time dispatcher. When MDWFP refused to rehire her, Webster filed a Uniformed Services Employment and Remployment Rights Act (USERRA) claim in state court, successfully proving MDWFP violated her federal statutory right to reemployment. Though the prevailing party, Webster appealed, challenging both her compensation award of one year's worth of lost part-time wages, and her attorney-fee award. The Mississippi Supreme Court held the trial court did not err in limiting Webster's compensation to one year of lost wages: Webster had been employed under yearly contracts that were not automatically renewable, and MDWFP was under no statutory obligation to employ her indefinitely. The Supreme Court reversed and remanded the remainder of the judgment because: (1) the trial court failed to rule on Webster's liquidated-damages claim, even though Webster presented evidence MDWFP's USERRA violation was "willful," as that term is used in the statute; (2) the trial court arbitrarily assigned $2,800 as a reasonable attorney fee, without considering the time spent by or hourly rate of Webster's counsel or any other relevant factor; and (3) the trial court taxed Webster her respective court costs, even though USERRA prohibits claimants from being taxed with costs.

Board of Supervisors of Clarke County, Mississippi v. BTH Quitman Hickory, LLC
BTH Quitman Hickory, LLC, challenged the amount of the ad valorem taxes assessed by the Clarke County Board of Supervisors by appealing the assessments to circuit court. However, BTH Quitman did not submit a bond with its appeals; therefore, the Board of Supervisors moved to dismiss the appeals. The circuit court found in favor of BTH Quitman, and the Board filed this interlocutory appeal. Because the Mississippi Supreme Court addressed a similar issue in its opinion in Natchez Hospital Co., LLC v. Adams County Board of Supervisors, 238 So. 3d 1162 (Miss. 2018), it reversed the circuit court's judgment and remanded the case for the circuit court to dismiss BTH Quitman's case for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.

Clark v. Bryant
During Fiscal Year 2017, Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant directed State Fiscal Officer Laura Jackson to reduce the budgets of various state agencies. In response, State Representative Bryant W. Clark and State Senator John Horhn brought a declaratory-judgment action against the Governor seeking preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, a writ of mandamus ordering the Governor to reverse the reductions, and a declaration that Mississippi Code Section 27-104-13 (Rev. 2017) was facially unconstitutional. After an expedited hearing, the chancellor denied the motions for injunctive relief and dismissed the complaint with prejudice. Representative Clark and Senator Horhn appealed. The Mississippi Supreme Court found the budget reductions were an exercise of the executive's core constitutional power. Therefore, it affirmed the chancellor's final order because Representative Clark and Senator Horhn failed to overcome the strong presumption that Section 27-104-13 was constitutional. View "Clark v. Bryant" on Justia Law

City of Clinton v. Tornes
Officer Michael Kelly was responding to a call that an intoxicated person was lying unconscious on the sidewalk outside the Days Inn in Clinton, Mississippi. While en route, his police vehicle collided with Patrice Tornes's car. Tornes sued Officer Kelly and his employer, the City of Clinton, claiming Officer Kelly's "reckless and negligent actions directly caused the subject accident." Specifically, she alleged Officer Kelly "caused his vehicle to be driven in a careless, negligent, and reckless manner and without due regard for the safety and convenience of Patrice Tornes, and without giving any warning sign or proper signal of the approach of said vehicle." And she asserted the City of Clinton was "vicariously liable for its employee's careless, negligent, and reckless operation of his vehicle while acting in the course and scope of his employment as an officer for the City of Clinton Police Department." She also claimed the City was liable for its own actions—specifically, "its negligent training of its employee in how to properly operate his motor vehicle in accordance for the safety of others" and its negligent entrustment of the subject vehicle to Officer Kelly on the day the wreck occurred. Both Officer Kelly and the City moved for summary judgment, claiming immunity from suit. This case came before the Mississippi Supreme Court on interlocutory appeal, because the trial court ruled in Tornes' favor. The Supreme Court held the municipality and the officer could not be liable for plaintiff's claims under the Mississippi Tort Claims Act, reversed the denial of summary judgment and rendered judgment in defendants' favor.

Hemphill Construction Company, Inc. v. City of Clarksdale
The City of Clarksdale solicited sealed bids for a public construction project. The City received sealed bids from Landmark Construction Company, GCI ("Landmark"), and Hemphill Construction Company, Inc. ("Hemphill"). When unsealed, both bids exceeded the project's allocated funds by more than ten percent. Rather than rebidding the contract, the City conditionally awarded a contract to Landmark, dependent upon the City's obtaining additional public funds to match Landmark's bid. The Mississippi Supreme Court found the City's actions were not provided for in the public bidding laws, reversed the circuit court which held to the contrary, and remanded the case to the trial court for further proceedings.

In Venezuela, the commander of the army says troops have put down a rebellion at a military base.
The uprising occurred at the Paramacay base outside the central town of Valencia. It comes after a newly elected national assembly convened in Caracas on Friday.
CGTN's Stephen Gibbs reports from Caracas.
Follow Stephen Gibbs on Twitter @STHGibbs
The incident happened during the early morning hours at the base. Residents who live nearby said they heard repeated rounds of gunfire starting around 4:30 a.m.
Dozens of locals gathered outside the base chanting, "Freedom!" and troops dispersed them with tear gas.
The clashes sparked just as a video showing more than a dozen men dressed in military fatigues, some carrying rifles, began circulating widely on social media. In the recording, a man who identified himself as Capt. Juan Caguaripano said the men were members of the military who oppose the government of embattled President Nicolas Maduro and called on other units to declare themselves in open rebellion.
"This is not a coup d'état," he said. "This is a civic and military action to re-establish the constitutional order."
Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez characterized the attackers as a "paramilitary" expedition carried out by civilians dressed in uniforms. He did not name any of the participants but said they included a lieutenant who had abandoned his post and that a former officer dismissed three years ago after being charged with rebellion and betraying the homeland had recorded the video.
For four months Venezuela has been in the throes of political upheaval that has left at least 120 people dead.
Opposition leaders have called on the military, which historically has served as an arbiter of political disputes, to break with Maduro over what it considers violations of the constitution.
But the president is believed to still have the institution's support. He and his predecessor, the late President Hugo Chavez, worked diligently to assure their allegiance.
Like Sunday's uprising, most manifestations of dissent among the troops have been small and isolated thus far.
The attack capped an already tense weekend when a new constitutional assembly that will rule with nearly unlimited powers voted to remove chief prosecutor Luisa Ortega Diaz.

Student Writing Contest for children ages 6-12
I-rish I may
I-rish I write
Have the wish I write tonight!
Do you have a child who likes to write? Can they make up stories or poems? Do they spend their time making little books for you?
Then, encourage them to enter the Irish Upon A Star writing contest!
This is a fun contest for elementary students, with a fun prize package that includes a family pass to the Titanic Museum Attraction in Branson, Missouri, T is for Titanic book and teacher's guide, and more!
There are no writing rules. In the fun spirit of our Irish friends, this is a fun contest that rewards creative, interesting, and fun writing.
Poems, stories, reports, fairytales, songs — anything Irish might strike our fancy!
Word length depends on the writing. A poem might be only 100 words, and a fairytale might be 800!
Young students can dictate their story to their parents, but the words must be their own creation. Spelling, grammar, and punctuation are important — but given the choice, we'd rather see creative and fun entries over perfectly punctuated pristine papers!!!
So, have fun doing some Irish research, then get your jig on, and help them enter the contest by Friday, 3/15/13 here!
You might get some inspiration by visiting the Titanic Museum Attraction's website.
And here are some students who won a recent writing contest, and will be visiting the Titanic Museum! This might give you some ideas!
And. . . if you like this facebook page, I'll be posting ideas to take real-life learning about Ireland and all things Irish, and turn it into creative writing for this contest!

Great Eastern Q4 profit up 25% to S$207.8m
GREAT Eastern Holdings posted a 25 per cent rise in net profit to S$207.8 million for the fourth quarter, thanks to higher mark-to-market gains and a growth in operating profit from the insurance business.
Gross premiums were 6 per cent higher at S$2.3 billion.
A larger in-force business and higher unrealised mark-to-market gains drove profit from the insurance business 18 per cent higher to S$203.5 million.
Earnings from investments in shareholders' funds also grew, rising 42 per cent to S$48.6 million, on the back of higher investment income, gain from sale of investments and foreign exchange gains.
Higher fee income boosted Great Eastern's fees and other income to S$20.3 million, up 5 per cent from S$19.3 million a year ago.
For the full year, the oldest insurance group in Singapore and Malaysia recorded a net profit of S$878.6 million, up 30 per cent from 2013, given more favourable market conditions last year.
Its embedded value, an estimate of the long-term economic value of a life insurance company for the existing blocks of business, rose 13 per cent to S$10.4 billion last year, owing to an increase in the value of adjusted shareholders' fund from strong investment performance, and a growth in the value of its in-force business.
The company has recommended a final dividend of 40 cents, and a special dividend of five cents, for each share. These will be paid on May 7.
Including an interim dividend of 10 cents that was paid in September 2014, Great Eastern's total dividends for 2014 come up to 55 cents a share.
Shares in Great Eastern last traded at S$24.16 on Thursday, four cents lower from the previous session.

Bake Some Pies With Fannie Farmer - Four More Pies
This week's roster of pies contained some unusual and some conventional, but regardless of the pie there was a challenge or something unexpected in each. The pies I made were: "Entire Rhubarb Pie", "Strawberry Rhubarb Pie", "Strawberries and Lemon Custard in Meringue", and "Marlborough Pie".
Pictured above is most of the process for making "Strawberries and Lemon Custard in Meringue". It was a bit of a finicky pie, but in the end it was worth all the steps. First you separate four eggs. Save the yolks and beat the whites with sugar and cream of tartar. Spread the meringue into a pie plate and bake. While that is happening, you make a curd with the yolks. Allow them both to cool, and while that is happening whip some cream. After the curd is cool, fold it into the whipped cream, and then spread that into the meringue. At that point you have to chill it all for at least six hours. When you are ready to serve the pie you whip some more cream, stir some sugar in with your sliced strawberries. The strawberries go on the custard, and then the whipped cream goes on top.
So involved, right? But look at the photo below. This is most definitely one of the best pies I have ever eaten. I would make this again and again with different combinations of fruits and curds. I am imagining this with stewed rhubarb, cherry compote, or fresh blueberries. Seriously. I can't stress how unbelievable this one was.
The "Strawberry Rhubarb" and "Entire Rhubarb" were the more conventional pies, but they were not without their challenges. My friend and I made the rhubarb one together and we had some issues with it being too runny and too sweet, but the overall flavour was good. I didn't actually remember to take a photo of it!
The strawberry rhubarb was again a huge hit. I served it at a gathering at my home and everyone agreed it was fantastic. I think one of the things that made it so great was the addition of vanilla extract in the filling. It lingered underneath the bright fruit flavours and married it all together beautifully. The main challenge I had with it was that I decided to do a coiled, braided lattice crust. At the beginning it was no problem, but after a while when the dough warmed up a bit my braids started falling apart! Moral of the story: work quickly!
The "Marlborough Pie" was better on the second day. I burnt the crust edge pretty badly! Oops! The instructions said to serve it warm, so that is what I did, but I think I would serve it chilled in future, or even make it the night before I wanted it. In my opinion it was really tasty for breakfast (and not very unhealthy: applesauce, milk, eggs, flour, butter, cheese, and a little bit of sugar). The next morning the flavours had melded together into something really delicious. If you are not familiar with this type of pie (I wasn't before making it), it is apparently a historical American pie made when fresh apples were not in season, but canned applesauce was available. It is basically an apple custard. I took up Marion Cunningham's recommendation to make it with a cheddar cheese crust and that turned out to be an excellent idea. Next time I would put a piece of foil around the edge so that it wouldn't get so badly burnt.

Australia win toss, bat in second Test
February 1, 2019 07:58 am
Australia captain Tim Paine won the toss and opted to bat against an injury-hit Sri Lanka in the second and final test on Friday.
On a chilly and overcast morning at the Manuka Oval, which is making its debut as a test centre, Paine finally had some luck with the coin toss, winning only the second time in nine tests he had led Australia in.
"I can't believe it. I did go with the left hand," said Paine, who on Thursday had promised to change his technique of tossing the coin. "I was practising in the team room with the boys last night. It's a nice start.
"There's a little bit more grass than usual. Hopefully a little bit more pace. Hopefully we can get a big total and go from there and then it stays a bit lower and starts to spin later in the game."
Australia, who lead the series 1-0 after their win in Brisbane by an innings and 40 runs, went in with an unchanged team hoping to bag their first series in over 12 months.
Sri Lanka lost all-rounder Angelo Mathews and paceman Nuwan Pradeep to injury before the first test and were forced to go with a completely new pace attack for the second match.
After injured pace duo Dushmantha Chameera and Lahiru Kumara returned home after the Gabba test, it was the turn of the experienced Suranga Lakmal to be ruled out due to a stiff back.
Lakmal had taken five wickets in Australia's first innings at the Gabba in the day-night match.
Vishwa Fernando and Kasun Rajitha were drafted in while Chamika Karunaratne will make his test debut. Batsman Roshen Silva was replaced by Kusal Perera in the fourth change to the touring side's team.
Australia: Marcus Harris, Joe Burns, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Travis Head, Kurtis Patterson, Tim Paine, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Jhye Richardson
Sri Lanka: Dimuth Karunaratne, Lahiru Thirimanne, Dinesh Chandimal, Kusal Mendis, Kusal Perera, Dhananjaya de Silva, Niroshan Dickwella, Dilruwan Perera, Chamika Karunaratne, Vishwa Fernando, Kasun Rajitha

Milestone: Today in the shower I was able to reach my feet. I know, very exciting. I had not been able to bend over to wash them since having my c-section. I have to confess, in order to get them clean I have been rubbing the bottom of my feet on my husband's bar of soap. Shhh, don't tell. I know, this is kind of gross, however not as gross as going 3 weeks without washing your feet, right? It was either this, or ask my daughter to wash them for me. That may just scar her for life. I figure her father and I are already causing enough damage.
Next Feat (no pun intended): to shave the hairy forest that has grown on my legs. May need a weed wacker for this one.

Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Sunday said India has given fresh leads relating to the Pathankot terror attack and Pakistan is verifying the facts to bring the perpetrators to justice.
"I have received fresh leads from India on the Pathankot attack and we will look and examine those evidences given by India. We could have hidden it or forgotten it but we asserted that we have received the evidences," Sharif said on a day when US President Barack Obama termed the Pathankot terror strike as "another example of the inexcusable terrorism that India has endured for too long".
"Pakistan has an opportunity to show that it is serious about delegitimising, disrupting and dismantling terror networks," Obama told PTI in an interview.
"We are probing and verifying that. Once we are done with that we would definitely bring the facts forward. Along with that, we have also formed a special investigating team, they would go to India and collect more evidence," Sharif said on his arrival from Davos after attending the World Economic Forum.
"I had a word with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and he had offered every help possible from their side in bringing the perpetrators to justice. We are going on the right lines and I hope the perpetrators will be brought to justice soon," said Sharif who promised further Pakistani action to combat militants but conceded that progress had often been slow.
India gave "specific and actionable information" to Pakistan soon after the Pathankot attack reportedly carried out by Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorists on the intervening night of January 1 and 2 that killed seven Indian soldiers.
Sharif said a Pakistani investigation team will also visit India to collect further information on the attack.
He also said Pakistan and India should not interfere in each other's affairs. He said Pakistan believes in non-interference in internal affairs of other countries and wants others to follow suit.
Pakistani National Security Advisor Lt Gen Naseer Khan Janjua on January 5 had called up his Indian counterpart Ajit Doval during which they discussed "specific and actionable information" related to the Pathankot terror strike.
Watch video: India, Pak Foreign Secretary Talks Likely To Be Held In Jan
Doval and Janjua talked about various information and leads, like the Pakistani numbers which the attackers had called and their intercepts with India asserting that an effective action on part of Pakistan was important.
Sharif was speaking days after a deadly attack by heavily armed gunmen on a university near Peshawar killed 21 people.
The attack bore a chilling resemblance to the December, 2014 Peshawar school attack in which over 150 people, mostly children, were killed, prompting the government to launch a National Action Plan (NAP) cracking down on militancy.
Sharif said Pakistan would continue the fight against militants. "We will fulfil this responsibility," he said.
Sharif said Pakistan and Afghanistan have an agreement not to allow their respective soil for terrorist activities, adding that Pakistan is fully abiding by this understanding.
However, some elements are active in Afghanistan, who carry out terrorist attacks in Pakistan, Sharif said.
He said Pakistan has always supported an Afghan-owned and Afghan-led peace process in Afghanistan as a peaceful and stable Afghanistan is in the best interest of not only Pakistan, but also the entire region.
Sharif said a committee comprising Pakistan, Afghanistan, China, and the US is working for peace in Afghanistan.
Regarding the National Action Plan to eliminate terrorism, he said the government is fully determined to expedite its implementation and assured that all steps will be taken to root out the menace of terrorism.
Sharif said the army and all other institutions are on the same page in fight against terrorism.
He also said Pakistan's reconciliatory efforts to mitigate tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran were aimed at peacefully resolving differences between both the Islamic countries.

Odell Beckham Jr. isn't asking for No. 1 wide receiver money, he is asking to be the highest-paid player in the entire NFL, all positions included.
New York Giants star wideout Odell Beckham Jr. owns the NFL record of 2,744 receiving yards during his first two seasons, surpassing a mark Randy Moss set in 1999. The feat is impressive, and sounds even better when it's realized that Beckham missed the first four games of the season. To say his career is off to one of the more impressive starts we've seen is an understatement, and now he's making it known he wants to be compensated as one of the best.
While speaking to Uninterrupted this week, Beckham's next contract is a topic of conversation. Beckham is on the New York Giants' books for this upcoming season and the 2018 season, but was not shy about looking ahead.
"It's like the elephant in the room, and you don't want to talk about it but I've gotten to the point in my life where I'm like, 'No, I'm going to … there's no need to not talk about it,'" Beckham said. "I believe that I will be hopefully not just the highest-paid receiver in the league, but the highest paid, period."
This past offseason, Antonio Brown of the Pittsburgh Steelers set the high mark for wide receivers. Brown signed a contract with an average of $17 million per season until 2022 according to Overthecap.com. In other big contract news, Derek Carr of the Oakland Raiders is the highest-paid player in the entire NFL, signing a deal that nets him more than $25 million per season until 2023.
It is highly unlikely that Beckham will adjust the wide receiver market by that large of a margin, but he set the artificial ceiling early. It will be noteworthy to see what concessions each side will make until that day finally comes and how the relationship between Beckham and the Giants operates during that span.

Etiological models of complex disease are elusive[46, 33, 9], as are consistently replicable findings for major genetic susceptibility loci[54, 14, 15, 24]. Commonly-cited explanations invoke low-frequency genomic variation[41], allelic heterogeneity at susceptibility loci[33, 30], variable etiological trajectories[18, 17], and epistatic effects between multiple loci; these represent among the most methodologically-challenging issues in molecular genetic studies of complex traits. The response has been con- sistently reactionary—hypotheses regarding the relative contributions of known func- tional elements, or emphasizing a greater role of rare variation[46, 33] have undergone periodic revision, driving increasingly collaborative efforts to ascertain greater numbers of participants and which assay a rapidly-expanding catalogue of human genetic variation. Major deep-sequencing initiatives, such as the 1,000 Genomes Project, are currently identifying human polymorphic sites at frequencies previously unassailable and, not ten years after publication of the first major genome-wide association find- ings, re-sequencing has already begun to displace GWAS as the standard for genetic analysis of complex traits. With studies of complex disease primed for an unprecedented survey of human genetic variation, it is essential that human geneticists address several prominent, problematic aspects of this research. Realizations regarding the boundaries of human traits previously considered to be effectively disparate in presentation[44, 39, 35, 27, 25, 12, 4, 13], as well as profound insight into the extent of human genetic diversity[23, 22] are not without consequence. Whereas the resolution of fine-mapping studies have undergone persistent refinement, recent polygenic findings suggest a less discriminant basis of genetic liability, raising the question of what a given, unitary association finding actually represents. Furthermore, realistic expectations regarding the pattern of findings for a particular genetic factor between or even within populations remain unclear. Of interest herein are methodologies which exploit the finite extent of genomic variability within human populations to distinguish single-point and cumulative group differences in liability to complex traits, the range of allele frequencies for which common association tests are appropriate, and the relevant dimensionality of common genetic variation within ethnically-concordant but differentially ascertained populations. Using high-density SNP genotype data, we consider both hypothesis-driven and agnostic (genome-wide) approaches to association analysis, and address specific issues pertaining to empirical significance and the statistical properties of commonly- applied tests. Lastly, we demonstrate a novel perspective of genome-wide genetic "background" through exhaustive evaluation of fundamental, stochastic genetic processes in a sample of matched affected and unaffected siblings selected from high- density schizophrenia families.
