Humboldt Creamery Workers Want Equal Pay to Unionized Counterparts in Modesto
Welcome to our letters to the editor/opinion section. To submit yours for consideration, please send to email@example.com. Please consider including an image to be used–either a photograph of you or something applicable to the letter. However, an image is not necessary for publication. Remember opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect that of Redheaded Blackbelt nor have we checked the letters for accuracy.
Workers at Humboldt Creamery, which in 2009 was sold to Foster Farms, complain they are being paid much less than their unionized counterparts in Modesto. They recently rejected a contract that they say would have continued to pay them less.
Below is a letter the workers wrote to management that they are asking their community to read.
This letter was sent via email to management on 9-27-17.
To the mediator and negotiating committee members:
The Foster Farms representatives are not negotiating in good faith for several reasons. One is compensation discrimination, and another is that we are not making any gains in compensation. In fact we are going backwards. How is this possible? Compare the labor agreements between the Modesto and Fernbridge facilities, and the differences between the two plants. Also compare the actions of management.
The union/labor negotiating committee acquired a copy of the contract with the plant in Modesto. In this contract on page 46, it gives the job description of a bracket IV Junior Clerk, which reads as follows:
Under close supervision, performs the least responsible clerical work of a simple, routine and repetitive nature. Beginning jobs requiring a minimum of previous experience and training. Tasks include, but are not limited to, filing and general typing, making copies, simple arithmetic calculations, prepare mailing packets.
On September 1, 2009, the Junior Clerk position paid $19.16 per hour (see page 45). This is the lowest paid employee in the Modesto plant, and this is what they paid 8 years ago. By comparison, the Humboldt Creamery plant currently pays their bracket one employees $19.04 per hour. What does this mean? It means that all personnel, bracket one or lower, are paid less than a Junior Clerk was making 8 years ago. So the company has made a significant amount of money for nearly a decade due to lower wage costs.
What does Foster Farms offer now? There best last and final offer is to give the Creamery employees a raise of $1.30 per hour over a period of three years, which seems reasonable until you analyze the rest of the compensation package.
Despite an increase in hourly wages and retirement contributions, they are going to take money from us in the medical portion. During negotiations, they proposed payroll deductions of $81.00 each pay period. And they have also proposed increased deductibles and co-pays and low percentage caps (this will be devastating for employees who have health issues or a family member who does). If we recall correctly, they are reducing the cost of medical compensation by approximately $2.96 per hour. So essentially, we are going backwards in our compensation.
Humboldt employees will effectively make less than our current wage despite the wage increase. A bracket one employee will receive a .45 cent raise (excluding pension increase), which raises their wage to $19.49 and the company will take $2.96 per hour in medical compensation. In terms of real wages, their hourly rate for a bracket one employee comes to $16.53.
On September 3, 2017, Foster Farms are paying their Junior Clerk $21.86 per hour. How does this compare to what a Humboldt Creamery bracket one employee will make in 2017? The Junior Clerk will make $5.33 more per hour. The Custodial/ Janitorial employees in Modesto are making $22.50 per hour, which is a difference of $5.97 per hour. So Humboldt Creamery employees with far more responsibility are paid significantly less than a highly supervised menial worker in Modesto.
Foster Farms has no legitimate defense for the discrepancy in wages. There is no statistical difference in the cost of living between here in Humboldt County and there in Modesto. The company cannot state that there is a difference in skills, effort, responsibility, or work conditions (nor has the company stated that they cannot afford to pay us more). So if there is no way to differentiate, why is the company making no effort to try to close the gap between the Modesto plant and Humboldt Creamery?
Humboldt Creamery made achievements prior to the Modesto plant. Humboldt Creamery achieved SQF certification before the Modesto plant, and our lab is state certified, while the Modesto plant is not state certified. But our lab employees are also paid significantly less than the lab technicians in Modesto. A while ago, the lab had employees requiring medical care, so a Modesto lab technician that was temporarily filling in saw our contract and stated that they make substantially more than our lab technicians. Why?
The company also fails to recognize differences in experience or licensing. A few months ago, a lab employee had a conversation with Mr. Walter Mendez regarding the company paying employees in the maintenance department for their licenses and experience pay for Grade B operators.
The employee argued that a lab technician with several licenses is making the same as someone putting lids on ice cream containers. So why would anyone want to come into the lab, which requires taking tests, annual evaluations by state employees, and being personally liability for errors? This means that the lab technician could be sued individually and lose their license(s). Why would anyone want to be held accountable and liable for errors or the errors of others without compensation? It only seems reasonable to compensate individuals with licenses for each license they have acquired.
This employee also stated that an employee who has years of experience and training should be compensated for their knowledge and experience. New employees should not be making the same wage as someone who just started and needs to be trained. In other words, a journeyman with 23 years of experience should make more than an new hire /apprentice on his first day of work. This is a practice that has been implemented in both the maintenance department and with Grade B operators.
Mr. Mendez agreed with this lab technician, and Mr. Mendez stated that, "we need to help him fight for it." And here he is fighting to avoid paying employees under his authority the absolute least he can. In fact, he hired an out-of-state attorney and another employee whose main contribution to society is to provide management with contract negotiating strategies. During negotiations, Mr. Mendez ignored these topics completely. It is glaringly apparent Mr. Mendez did not keep his word, as there is no compensation for experience and licenses.
In addition, California's mandatory minimum wage is going to impact our negotiations. California is going to raise minimum wage to $15 per hour by 2022 ( for companies with more than 26 employees). Economists recognize that this will raise the cost of all goods and services. This is going to make it even more difficult to support our families.
On September 21, 2017, Mr. Otis sent an email on teamwork stating, "we win as a team or we lose as a team!" Humboldt Creamery employees may wear the same uniform, but we certainly are not being remunerated the same as Modesto employees. So explain how we are on the same team?
One of the cornerstones of our society is equal pay for equal work. It is a commitment to equality, fairness, and ensuring that every worker has a fair chance to succeed in the workplace. What happens when an employee discovers a disparity in pay with their co-workers? Employees who learn that they are being paid unfairly become frustrated and even demoralized or angry. Because of the inequity between the two plants, we feel corporate management treats us like red-headed stepchildren. This lack of equality is unethical and lacking integrity.
The company should immediately implement comprehensive policy solutions to promote greater fairness in the workplace, eliminate discriminatory pay practices, and reduce pay disparities that are essential to ensure all workers are paid fairly. Ensuring equal pay for equal work is an important priority that calls for real action—not just rhetoric.
According to Marcus Lemonis, what are three of the top ten rules for success? Rule one: As a owner or manager, don't be an ass. Rule two: Make your employees number one—and they will take good care of your customers. Rule seven: Be transparent. Transparency would have eliminated the pay disparity simply by disclosing the company's pay practices. Hopefully, management will act quickly to rectify the pay inequality.
Dale Wohlwend, on behalf of
Humboldt Creamery employees
P.S. The first page was written prior to [earlier] negotiations. Regardless, there still exists a significant disparity in pay between the two plants.

Question: In song-writing, the idea of longing, of being in search of an answer, of questing for some unquestionable truth, is often, I think, seen as signifying a state of frustration and unhappiness, and even delusion – which maddens me. The potter and the sculptor shape, hone, rework – and these habits and routines are rarely likened to serving a sentence, or being forced endlessly to stare into the same abyss. Rather, the pursuit seems noble, stoical, and capable of producing a state of serenity. Do you accept that the song-writer is, of all artists, the most likely to be labelled 'Tortured'?
As I write this, there are human beings being tortured. Let us not trivialize the unspeakable horror by adding songwriting to the category.

From the Dan Cairns – Sunday Times Culture questionnaire Leonard Cohen sent me Oct 17, 2016. While portions of that questionnaire were incorporated into Leonard Cohen: Hey, that's some way to say goodbye by Dan Cairns (The Sunday Times: October 23 2016); this specific response was not used in the final article.

text: Once I had settled on a suitable type combination, I went back and decided to tweak the layouts of the double page spreads. For the first few spreads, I have included full bleed photograph. Opening the publication this way lets the audience/reader know right away that this publication is a photography focused one, there is little emphasis on textual information. I have then included a very brief introductory page, summarising the cemetery's background history in very few words. You then move onto another double page full bleed spread and then you are greeted with a table of contents. I didn't want to put lines and lines of text describing each letterform next to the photographs, so I decided to tackle the issues using a table of contents/index system, which I think is effective in communicating the information efficiently. I then turned my attention to the actual layout of the photographic content. In the earlier stages of this brief, I employed a quite strict two column gird system to format my images, but I threw that grid system out of the window here. I have opted to layout the images in a more abstract way. Some images take up the whole page, others home in and focus on specific letter forms. The varying sizes and positioning of the images makes the spreads and overall publication flow more freely. Flicking from page to page is a bit more exciting this way. I am happy that I decided to tweak and push the layouts to this point.

A West Australian man who fatally bashed a woman with an Aboriginal ceremonial stick has been refused leave to appeal his jail sentence.
Shannon Bert Thomas was sentenced in April to serve seven-and-a-half years behind bars after pleading guilty to the manslaughter of his partner's cousin.
He repeatedly struck the 62-year-old woman with a one-metre waddy in December 2012 after she first hit him with the same stick during an argument.
Thomas sought leave to appeal the sentence, claiming the judge erred in denying him the full 25 per cent discount for his plea of guilty.
He was instead given a 20 per cent discount.
WA Court of Appeal Justice Carmel McLure said while a plea of guilty "enlivens the power" to grant the maximum discount, a sentencing judge could still use their discretion.
Justice McLure concluded that the ground of appeal did not have reasonable prospects of succeeding.
"Accordingly, leave to appeal must be refused, in which event the appeal is taken to be dismissed," she said.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Voter turnout appears to be light as Indiana voters head to the polls for Tuesday's primary.
At one Indianapolis polling site, only about 15 people had cast ballots in the first two hours after that location opened its doors to voters.
But midterm primaries historically attract only about 20 percent of registered Indiana voters to cast in-person ballots.
A handful of state legislative contests that focused on the fight over whether to amend Indiana's constitution to ban gay marriage were expected to be Tuesday's most divisive races.
Forty-eight-year-old Ann O'Neill-Schlosser cast her ballot Tuesday at Lutheran High School on Indianapolis' southeast side.
She says she has many gay and lesbian friends who are in loving, long-term relationships and they "should have the same rights as my husband and me."

Stone Cold Cowboy(5)
By:Jennifer Ryan
She couldn't help the tears anymore, or the pleading in her voice she hated. "No, please don't do this."
"I like it when you beg, but seeing you bleed gets me off." He rubbed his hand over his crotch and leered at her again.
She met his lust-filled gaze, unable to watch him stroke the bulge in his jeans, knowing at any second he could change his mind, dump her back on the ground, and torture her a whole other way. "Please. The cold is enough. I can't get free. You don't have to do this."
He cocked his head and grinned. "I don't have to. I want to."
He put the truth in his words to work and pulled the wire around her back and across her chest, once, twice, and over her breasts. To punish her even more for getting in her licks earlier, he pulled the wire on both sides of her tight, making the barbs pierce her thin bra and skin.
"No." She bit back another yelp when he pulled the wire even tighter.
"Uh, the trucks will be at the meeting place in an hour. We need to go if we're going to make it in time and before it gets dark," Tony said from behind the devil dude.
"I'll be right there. Gather up any strays and start pushing the herd down the valley again."
Tony left without another word and without bringing his gaze up from his toes.
The devil dude glared at her. "You've cost me a lot of time." He wound the wire around her hips, then around one thigh several times and across to go around the other. The wire bit into the knife wound, making it bleed even more. Tighter and tighter he bound her legs until he had her feet wrapped so tight her ankle bones ground against each other.
He tossed the rest of the wire to the ground at her feet. He pulled the knife out again and held it up in front of her. The waning sunlight glinted off the already bloody blade. Her heart stopped. She didn't dare breathe or take her gaze from the deadly weapon and the man who liked to use it.
He jabbed her in the gut with his fist and the air whooshed out of her. She tried to suck in a breath, but ended up coughing before she could refill her lungs. She prayed he didn't hit her again.
"If you somehow manage to get out of this, you say one word to anyone, I'll hunt you down and make this"—he pointed the knife up and down her bloody body—"feel like a hug compared to what I'll do to you next time."
"Please, let me down. You can't leave me here."
The sharp point of the knife dug into her side between two ribs, piercing her skin, but not sinking deep. Damn, those shallow punctures hurt like hell. Exactly his intention. He pushed, sending her swinging and the knife slipping free. Lucky for her, he didn't hold the knife there for her to swing back into.
"Pray the cold gets you before the wolves." The devil dude lived up to his wicked tat with that parting shot.
"You can't leave me here," she screamed at his retreating back. "Help me! Connor, you can't leave me here," she bellowed. "Connor!"
She waited, hoping he'd do the right thing for once. For her. She'd saved him so many times. This time, she needed him.
The wind whipped up again, pushing against her back. Not a sound reached her. From her place on the hill and behind the cover of trees, she couldn't see the valley, the cows, or even her brother.
No one came.
He didn't come.
Tears spilled down her cheeks. She shook with the sobs wracking her body.
I'm going to die here.
Not one to give in easily, she wiggled, trying desperately to get free. Her toes barely touched the dirt. The more she moved, the more dirt she displaced, until she hung with no purchase on the ground. If he wanted to torture her, he'd picked the perfect way to do it. The more she moved, the worse things got. The wires bit into her skin, sending fresh dribbles of blood down her body. The cut on her side bled freely down her stomach, soaking her panties. She couldn't hold up her weight, so her body dragged her down, making her wrists and shoulders ache.
A branch snapped. Her gaze shot up. The devil dude stood ten yards away with her clothes tucked under his arm. He shook his head and smiled. He liked making her crazy, seeing her struggle, and knowing she didn't have a chance in hell of getting out of this alive.
She stared him down, not letting him see the fear growing inside her anymore. She used what little strength she had left to curse the bastard. "I hope those Kendricks find you. I hope Rory Kendrick finds you. Then you'll be sorry. You'll see. He'll make you pay."
Yeah, Rory would make him pay for the cows. Who would make him pay for what he'd done to her? No one. She'd die here abandoned by her brother and alone.

Mitsubishi Corporation (MC) announced on Thursday plans for a new LNG carrier to be deployed to its Cameron LNG Project in the US.
The vessel will be owned by Diamond LNG Shipping 3 Pte. Ltd. (DLS-3), a ship-owning joint venture formed between MC, Toho LNG Shipping Co., Ltd. (TLS)1, Tohoku Electric Power Co., Inc. (THG) and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK).
Image courtesy of: Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd.
In December 2015, MC entered into a Shipbuilding Contract with LNG builder MI LNG Company Limited2 and signed a Heads of Agreement for Time Charter Party with its wholly owned subsidiary, Diamond Gas International Pte. Ltd. for the building of the new vessel as part of its efforts to secure carriers to transport LNG produced at Cameron. MC set up DLS-3 as a wholly owned subsidiary in May 2016 to serve as the vessel's ship-owning company.
At the time DLS-3 was established, however, there was an understanding among the partners that it would become a four-company joint venture incorporating Toho LNG Shipping, Tohoku Electric and NYK once approved by the relevant authorities and procedures for their equity participation were completed.
MC invests in Cameron LNG through Japan LNG Investments LLC, a joint venture with NYK. LNG produced at Cameron is slated for sale to Toho Gas and Tohoku Electric through MC's Singapore-based energy business subsidiary, Diamond Gas International. The new vessel, scheduled for delivery in 2019, will be utilized to transport LNG to these two companies.
MC said that it "will continue to strengthen its LNG carrier business through projects of this nature as part of its efforts to help ensure stable energy supplies to Japan and other markets."
(1). TLS is an LNG carrier owning company wholly owned by Toho Gas Co., Ltd
(2). MI LNG is a joint venture company for designing and marketing LNG carriers established between MHI (51%) and Imabari Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. (49%) in April 2013.
(3). MHISB is a shipbuilding company wholly owned by MHI which specializes in building commercial vessels in the Nagasaki district.
(4). MHISB's newly designed LNG carriers come with improved fuel efficiency through the adoption of continuous cover over apple-shaped tanks and a hybrid propulsion system that combines highly efficient reheating steam turbines and dual-fuel diesel engines.

These first two pictures are of White Sweetclover.
Alkali Heliotrope
Sweet Fennel
Poison Hemlock
Alkali Mallow
Laurel Sumac
Black Willow / Godding's Willow
Wild Radish

I have several that I've yet to identify and many that I still need to photograph but I think I'm off to a good start. Since I'll be home most of the summer I think this will be a great way to pass the time and educate myself and the kids. I hope you enjoyed this because there will be more to come in the following weeks.
If I misidentified any of these feel free to correct me! You can read Part II here.

Well you know I'm interested!ReplyDelete
That little mallow is so sweet, I've never seen it before. Isn't it amazing we're in the same state, yet because Cali is so big, we can have totally different flora where we live? It's so fun too, to see favorites (like the e.p.) and to feel like I'm seeing a good friend visiting you. I would love to hear how getting to know the plants changes your experience on walks/in nature. And of course...all the photos are gorgeous. Now we have yet another thing we could dork out over together, when we see each other again...but much longer next time please. xo
And you know, I'm interested too! What a great project. I'm always, always finding out new plants, even new edible medicinal plans in my area. It's always such a revelation, I love it! <3 THank you for sharing your bioregion <3ReplyDelete
This is so wonderful! It's exactly what I'm working on in my area, although fairly haphazardly. I hardly recognize any of these from my nature wanders, crazy how different northern and southern Cali are. I love that alkali heliotrope, what dainty little darlings! thanks for inspiring once again.ReplyDelete
I have been trying so hard to do this myself, throwing it in the homeschooling mix as a way of making it a little more deliberate. Sometimes I'm overwhelmed with how much there is to learn, but as I learn more and more, I feel more and more connected to the little living things near me. Your pictures are great. Nature photography sort of alludes me. You do it well.ReplyDelete

In 1946, George Orwell wrote a short essay for the London Evening Standard called The Moon Under Water which outlined, to his mind, the ten precepts that constituted his eponymous — and sadly fictitious — perfect boozer. You will hardly have failed to notice the preponderance of pubs belonging to the JD Wetherspoon chain that also labour under the name. If you've not read The Moon Under Water, do check it out. I won't go into the details of the essay, except to say that:
A) Many of Orwell's post-war sensibilities still hold true for a decent pub, even if the chances that you may want to buy Aspirin in the bar, use the house telephone or drink stout from a pewter pint pot are slim these days.
B) A Wetherspoon pub is as much like Orwell's idea of a decent drinking hole as the Excalibur Hotel in Las Vegas is like visiting a medieval castle.
Anyway, it got me thinking about my own favourite boozer. Before I go further, I should point out that Mr Orwell knows a thing or two about weighing a sentence, balancing a paragraph and creating a sense of satisfaction and drama within the confines of a thousand words. Some of his big, long storybooks are fairly corking too. That one about Big Daddy watching you, great stuff. On the other hand, I am a chap who mainly thinks about boozers and barely gets going one thousand words in. I'd also better say up front that I'm not even going to pretend this place exists. It's a fallacious folly, an impractical ideal, an unworkable, completely bloody brilliant pub. Modesty and decorum prohibit me calling it 'The Murphy's Head' or 'The Paulie Arms'. Since the jukebox is distinct and different from one day to the next, I am obliged to call it The Solomon Grundy.
Solomon Grundy…
Pop on Monday.
Fifties/Sixties on Tuesday.
Folk Night Wednesday.
Dancing on Thursday.
Rock on Friday.
Punk versus Prog Saturday.
Classical Sunday.
…that's the week in The Solomon Grundy.
Already you know as well as I that this pub cannot exist. I'm probably doing myself out of any regular clientele by varying the jukebox, restricting it to certain genres each day — but it's my blog, my rules, so there. Besides, I got the idea from a real pub in Canterbury. They had an MP3 jukebox that subdivided into genres such as 80s POP, IRISH PUB and ELVIS FOREVER. Musical monomania, for all: four songs for a quid, ten songs for £2.
I borrowed another idea from a different pub in Canterbury. It's a hotbed of inspiration down there, pub-wise, I tell you. There is a beautiful establishment, housed in a Fourteenth Century building, that does splendid Sunday lunches. Behind the bar lies an extensive array of local ales and even some intriguing lager choices. The wine selection is excellent. Decent spirits, check. The place had atmosphere in bags; the medieval building, wood-panelled walls, two vast functional fireplaces, unsophisticated, wide wooden tables and chairs. Nothing affected, all fully functional and aesthetically pleasing. The regulars sat in a row upon barrel-stools at the bar, chatting amiably to the staff like they had been there all day — and this was only noon. The thing I remembered most vividly, though, was the choice of music: Classical, played at a discreet volume. It worked, it really worked. It was a sacred, magic moment. Nothing looked or felt out of place. I was reminded of the tale I heard some years back about the manager of an inner city McDonald's joint playing Classical music to deter bored, troublesome kids from loitering in the shop doorway. Seems there's no better way to keep out 'the rowdies' as Orwell describes them, than to make the place anathema to people who, with the best will in the world, I have to describe as having simplistic tastes in music, befitting their lifestyles. Classical music creates exactly the kind of snobbish sonic forcefield I would encourage on a leisurely Sunday — only I'd extend the definition to incorporate Renaissance and Medieval music, because it works and I can.
The rest of the week is self-explanatory. Tuesday is a night of nostalgia, with classic pop and rock from the Sixties, Fifties and maybe earlier. Again, I've based this, somewhat harshly, on a preexisting model: a well-known pub in Highgate whose jukebox boasts nothing on it less than ten years old — letting time bestow worthy honour on the songs and artists with suitable 'legs' to become classics.
Wednesday is Folk Night. The brief extends beyond the a cappella stylings of say, The Young Tradition, The Watersons and Anne Briggs to include livelier stuff like Fairport Convention, Steeleye Span and The Unthanks. No sense in keeping it sleepy any other day than Sunday.
Thursday — the Head Ballet. This is my most selfish choice in many ways: a selection of dance music from a fairly limited selection of sub-genres: global fusion, world trance — artists like Loop Guru, Transglobal Underground, Natacha Atlas and Dreadzone. It's consistently groovy and uptempo, but crucially lacks the pilled-up frenzy of techno, the chavviness of garage or the samey mindlessness that mars much (though not all) drum'n'bass. I'll admit I'm mainly electing to have a night of this on because I reckon it's great stuff to hear loudly in a pub if you want a laugh, although I suspect there are bars all over Amsterdam that play this sort of thing already. Maybe I'm not so selfish. Thursday is the new Friday — go to any pub in London to see for yourself.
Friday is Sweaty Rock Night. Eddie Cochran, Cream, Free, Zeppelin, Purple, Guns'n'Roses, The Wildhearts, The Darkness, Kasabian, Pendulum etc. No fucking about — if it has electric guitars and a smoking rhythm section, it's on.
Saturday is another selfish whimsy. Never mind The Beatles versus the Stones — put those two factions in a pub playing nothing else on the jukebox and I suspect both sides will grudgingly admit liking much of the other eventually. Opposing sides unite, joined in their mutual appreciation of the time and culture that spawned both bands. Now, pit the epic, expansive, excessive pomp and bombast of classic 1970s Progressive Rock against the short, sharp, spitting shards of Punk, the very music whose 'Year Zero' shock and awe tactics were deployed against the rock of yore. I suspect it will create a varied and delightful blend; the musical equivalent of chilli ice cream or chocolate-coated pretzels. Tasty. Like my Beatles/Stones analogy, may it create equilibrium rather than conflict, even if both sides will admit to nothing more than a mutual love for Hawkwind, Pink Fairies and Van Der Graaf Generator. On a Saturday night, sometimes you have to find your articulate aggression wherever you can.
And Monday? Traditionally a quiet day for pubbing — I've elected it Pop Music Day: the widest selection of things on the jukebox, to keep everyone happy as much of the time as possible. You can select virtually anything on the entire weekly pub playlist — except Classical music. It's a tiresome joke to derail the jolly atmosphere with a contemplative adagio any other day of the week but Sunday.
I've not even talked about the pub yet. It says a lot about my business focus. By now already you may detect a certain lack of brewing acumen. Rumbled. Somehow, I don't think I'd like to be Your Host behind the bar. In any event, I'm not suitable. I haven't worked in a pub, but I've done my fair share of public retail — never again. I very firmly believe that certain outlets would run far more efficiently and with a greater atmosphere of fellow-feeling if the public were not allowed in at all. Bah, humbug and harrumph. Well, you know what I mean. The accountancy would bore me rigid, to boot. Be assured my staff are the finest, most attentive, intelligent, sympathetic and glamorous bunch of chaps and chapesses as any you've met. I'm just going to drink in the place.
I'll discuss the boozer itself in greater detail soon. But first, a drink.

When advertising dollars are actually being used, there's just one question that things. Can it be well worth it? A billion dollar ad campaign is useless in case it does not produce sales. That is the reason it's crucial that you simply think about your marketing medium with care. Traditional advertising and marketing like billboards, newspapers, and tv may be extremely pricey and still deliver hardly any return. This's exactly where internet marketing stages in to fill up the gap. Imagine just how effective it will be seeing the marketing budget of yours at the office in time that is real and in case there was a challenge with the campaign of yours, you can very easily alter it right there on the area. That is the strength of web marketing.
Technology has today evolved to the stage that you are able to single out the niche target group of yours with accuracy and supply them the ad of yours. Social networking web sites including Facebook offer advertisers the incredible power to target such a team. Because almost all users have entered that sort of market info to produce the accounts of theirs, They understand just who they're. And also this provides you with the capability to find out the number of individuals are actually in your target group through every specific platform. Try doing that with a billboard.
With web marketing, an advertisement could be transformed in the blink of a watch. Maybe you recognize your advertisement isn't succeeding at all in a private market and also you would like to spruce it up, or maybe you might have thought of a brand new fresh way to display the products of yours in the ad. With web advertising that change is just a couple of mouse clicks from truth. Something tells me that having your ad returned from the T.V. station is going to require a bit more work. You also have the ability to tap the social media to connect with your prospective and current clients directly. There is a wide range of services pertaining to internet advertising so make sure you visit https://www.nevaehmedia.com/ for additional information.
An online ad is going to offer prospective customers and clients the chance to connect with your services and goods even if you're asleep. Today, that is a helpful campaign. Imagine going out to lunch with a business associate, and also you buy the tab. While you're giving you to get a contact on your telephone telling you a sale was made by you! What that means is the fact that while lunch was being eaten by you, somebody says the ad of yours, install the profile of the target group of yours, and decided your merchandise was for these people, clicked the ad, purchased the item, and was happy with the service of yours. You did not need to complete a thing, except go to the bank account. Consider the old days of missed calls as well as insincere inquiries only since you placed an advertisement in the paper? Yeah, those days are actually over.
In case you would like to achieve the customer of yours with the advertising dollars of yours and you are fed up with the toss it on the wall and find out in case method is stuck by it, give web advertising and marketing a try. You are going to be in much more control of the campaign of yours, and you'll be a lot more pleased with the final results. With such a high public of individuals on the internet today, there is an excellent chance your target is actually out there searching for you. Will they discover you or perhaps the competition of yours there first?

March 2016 saw the Scottish Government publish its cancer plan, 'Beating Cancer: Ambition and Action'.
It recognised that the quality of life cancer patients have during and after treatment is just as important as the treatment itself – a key principle of our Transforming Care After Treatment (TCAT) programme.
Our Policy and Public Affairs Manager, Peter Hastie, sums up in 60 seconds the key points of the plan, and what it means for Macmillan Cancer Support's work in Scotland.
What is pleasing to see is that a £9 million fund has been set aside to fund support services modelled on our Improving the Cancer Journey project and we hope to see the huge success of this project replicated across Scotland to make sure no cancer patient in Scotland misses out on vital support
In the meantime, we urgently need cancer support to be built around the needs of the individual and look forward to working with the Scottish Government to look in detail at how the ambitious measures outlined in the plan will be achieved.

Donna King is a TOP TEN FINALIST in the NSAI Song Contest Presented by CMT
Nashville, TN (Feb. 16, 2015) – Donna (Jorgensen) King started her musical journey in Motown. She was born in Detroit, Michigan and spent a good part of her life studying and "doing" music there. From an early age, all she wanted to do was sing, write, and make music.
A little over ten years ago she moved to Nashville, TN and her dreams moved with her. They say an overnight success really takes at least 10 years and, considering the exciting opportunities she's currently experiencing, that success seems imminent for King.
On February 1, 2015 the Top Ten Finalists in the renowned NSAI Song Contest (Presented by CMT) were announced and her Country song "THIS KIND OF COLD," was in that select group. The song was chosen out of upwards of 2000 entries.
A producer, songwriter, and artist in her own right, King is well known in Christian music circles, but she's never had a major cut in Country music. She couldn't be more excited at the prospect of expanding her musical endeavors as a Country songwriter.
Donna says, "I'm sure it seems crazy, how a city girl could find herself loving and writing Country songs, but, if you knew me back in Michigan, you knew I loved country music. If you ever rode with me to and from my alma mater, Redford Union High School, you heard Country music stations playing in my car. I came to Nashville with many dreams, but one of the biggest was to write and produce Country songs and I'm truly beginning to see that dream come to life. My heart is SO full of gratitude to God and to so many friends and family who encourage me and pray for me along the way."
The GRAND PRIZE winner of the NSAI Song Contest is determined, solely, by fan vote. There are a little less than two weeks left in the voting process.
Now through February 28th, 2015, Donna will need our help by voting and also by sharing/asking others to vote for her song, "This Kind of Cold," on the CMT website. You only need to vote one time per person and it's as easy as selecting Donna's song, entering your email address and submitting. The direct link to the NSAI CMT Song Contest is NSAI.CMT.com. Be sure to support Donna King and let others know to vote and share as well.

Appreciating the political ethnography of master narratives and counterstories

Journal Article

Here I write an appreciation of Settlage's account of experiences with pre-service teachers in the United States. Focusing on his use of notions of narrative and counterstories I explore the politics of experience in education looking at how he uses narrative and story, the politics entailed in the polyvocal evidence he presents and the significance of the ethnographic context for his account. After a discussion of these three significant conceptual insights I conclude with a return to his account and his somewhat diffident reflections about the project he reports on.

HARRISBURG, Pa. - A proposal introduced by State Rep. Jeff Coy, D-Franklin, to increase the fines for illegally passing a school bus was adopted by the Pennsylvania House of Representatives last week.
The amendment to a bill dealing with state motor vehicle laws would increase from $100 to $500 the fine for passing a stopped school bus that has its red lights flashing.
"Drivers who endanger the precious cargo on board, our children, should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law," Coy said in a news release.
The House adopted another amendment by Coy that would triple the fine for littering on protected farmland. The fine would by increased from $300 to $900 for littering on land enrolled in Pennsylvania's Farmland Preservation Program, according to Coy's office.

Hello everyone,
The manual and AV shooting has been a worthwhile journey and i thank you all so far for guiding me along.
Of recent, i have been noticing something about shooting manual. Sometimes, after choosing the settings i want, the meter show my image to be underexposed....raising ISO sometimes makes the needle move towards the center but in the name of practicing and understanding what is going on, i don't always raise ISO. The discovery is that once i take the shot with the use of a flash(external flash), many times the shot comes out real clean.
The problem....: though i get some pretty results by ignoring the light meter and using flash power, i need to know what i am fiddling with. When is it okay to ignore the exposure meter reading? And if underexposure seems to be the problem, will additional lighting resolve that while i still maintain the intended creative effect?
All the best!

Burns Night in Glasgow
January 25 is an important date in Scotland's cultural calendar - it marks the birth of our national poet, Robert Burns (or Rabbie, if you're a local), and every year it is celebrated in traditional Scottish fashion. There's a big feast, the centrepiece of which is the haggis (which traditionally arrives heralded by bagpipes and is paid tribute to by the host before everyone tucks in). After dinner, there'll be a series of toasts and poems, often accompanied by at least one dram of whisky. Finally, after all the food has been eaten and the speeches have been heard, it's time to clear away the tables and take part in a ceilidh (pronounced 'kay-lih') - a Gaelic term for 'gathering' which involves live music and Scottish Highland dancing.
If you're not quite ready to host your own Burns Supper, you can always join in one of the official events listed below, taking place at some of Glasgow's best restaurants, bars and attractions.

Claimed to have 60% off. I had 2 other comapnies come in after Empire did my kitchen in my trailer ($1,300 AFTER 60% OFF) and was told I could have had my whole place done for what I paid Empire Today to do Kitchen.
I was had! The guy from Empire wnated $1,500 to do my living room in the trailor that could have been done for under $250. I do not recomend Empire Today to anyone. They took advantage of my age and inexpierence.
It is no wonder they can afford all the TV adds. At what I paid it made me sick.

Contributed by the Fluids Engineering Division of ASME for publication in the JOURNAL OF FLUIDS ENGINEERING. Manuscript received October 24, 2015; final manuscript received January 18, 2016; published online April 22, 2016. Assoc. Editor: Mark F. Tachie.
The relationships between the sand grain roughness height (ks) in use with Nikuradse or Colebrook correlations for the roughness function (RF) and the internal pipe wall roughness element described by the root-mean-square (RMS) of the roughness profile (Rq) for turbulent flow in pipes are experimentally examined. Flow tests were conducted on a total of 13 commercial steel pipes of two sizes: 168.3 mm and 114.3 mm outer diameter (OD). The aim was to provide further insight into relationship between ks and Rq, for use with either RF correlations. The tests were conducted on high-pressure pipeline quality natural gas in the range of Reynolds number (based on pipe internal diameter) of 9 × 106–16 × 106. For commercial carbon steel pipes, the relationship between ks and Rq was found in the form ks=1.306 Rq+0.078 Rq2 and ks=2.294 Rq (both ks and Rq in μm), for use with Colebrook and Nikuradse RF correlations, respectively. These correlations cover a wide range of Rq from 2.7 μm to 12.5 μm which is typically found in commercial carbon steel pipes. For stainless steel (SS) pipes, preliminary results indicate that other surface roughness profile parameters need to be employed to better define the values of ks for these types of commercial steel pipes.

On 15th and 16th May 2014, the Minister for Labour and Human Resource Development, Ms Idith Alexander, conducted the first of a series of meetings aimed at informing employers of the quota entitlement for the employment of non-Seychellois workers.
The new procedures and measures which came into effect as from 15th May 2014, will facilitate the procedures for recruiting and managing non-Seychellois workers that fall within the following industries Tourism, Trade and Commerce, Financial Services, Construction, Manufacturing, Agriculture, Fisheries and Domestic Work based on the demands of the labour market.
In addition to this, the quota entitlement will work alongside the Localisation Plan, to ensure Seychellois are continuously provided with the opportunity to secure employment.
Overall, the quota entitlement has been well received by those present at the meetings and many have expressed that this is a good initiative on the part of the Ministry. In addition to this, many of the constraints they had raised in past meetings have been taken into consideration in the quota entitlement.
As well as a presentation on the different quota entitlements, the representatives from the various sectors also had to opportunity to put forward their concerns and offer suggestions. Amongst these suggestions were for the intake of post secondary students to be increased, particularly in the field of Tourism and Construction, encourage the sharing of knowledge to local workers by non-Seychellois and to reduce the salary gaps that exists between Seychellois and non-Seychellois workers.
Minister Alexander also informed the meeting attendees that quotas will be reviewed by the Committee for the Employment of Non-Seychellois (CENS) after three months. Additionally, the labour market will be continually monitored to identify any new and emerging trends.
Furthermore, as a means of monitoring compliance with the new quota entitlement, the number of joint visits carried out by the Ministry in partnership with the Ministry of Social Affairs Community Development and Sports, Ministry of Home Affairs and Transport and the Ministry of Health will be increased.
The meetings ended with the Ministry pledging the support of all the employers concerned to ensure that the quota entitlements system is successfully implemented.

BOOM! "Metal Drift" First Impressions
- Details
- Written by Rob
Well, as part of the #GamesMatter initiative, I am launching my first videogame review. You may all cheer later, but for now, you get to see all the fun of my first impression.
The game is Metal Drift by indie developers BlackJacket Studios. Long and short of it, the game's what you would have if you took Atari 2600 Combat (wow, did I just date myself there), soccer, and Wipeout. Basically, your job is to carry a ball-like thing to the goal without getting all 'splody. Unfortunately, there are twelve other players hell-bent on making sure you do. Fortunately, you have eleven other players on your side to make sure they don't. There's a lot of ammunition thrown around, players juking and trying to grab the ball so they make it to the goal, and occasional powerups that let you survive or do more damage.
Basically, it's like Congress, only with a high-tech veneer.Add a comment

Engaging the RIGHT Way

- Written by Rob
People who follow me know that I'm sympathetic to issues involving GamerGate, but I'm not happy with the tactics of many. As a military vet, I realize that sometimes you fight back for all you're worth, but sometimes fighting blindly doesn't help, and too often I see that happening with the pro-GG crowd (not faulting them; many in the anti-GG crowd are just as bad, if not worse.) But during a discussion for Indie Gamer Chick's Halloween Games Trick or Treat, I had a nice approach described by @CeleciaKat. And you know what? She's right.
@Shinzakura One of the best way to inform people is to see a nice family support #GamerGate on their doorstep, handing out candy.

It's a brilliant way. Why? Well, yeah, there's the fact that candy's involved, but it's more than just that.Add a comment

Canada Casino Bonus: Best Bonuses of 2018
In this article
Many sites offer casino bonuses for Canada if you're new to the site, as an incentive to play with them.
These bonuses for Canadian players are quickly becoming one of the best ways to make the most out of your money while playing casino games online – they basically offer you free money to play with!
The only trouble is, there are so many different online casinos out there now, with tons of different bonuses to offer. It can be hard to find the best bonuses in Canada, and even harder to know which sites to trust.
To help you out a bit, here are some of the top Canada online casino bonuses in 2018. These bonuses will help you make the most out of casinos while playing with new sites; they're reliable, fun to play, and perfect for players in the Canadian region.
|Canada Casino
|Get 100% up to €400
|Get FREE 100 Spins
|22 Free Spins
|33% bonus
+ 33 Free Spins
|100% Bonus
|Up to 100 free spins
Match Deposits Offered Upon Signing Up
Sign up bonuses for Canadian players are the most common type of bonus offered to online casino players.
A signup bonus is simply, as you might have expected, a bonus offered in exchange for you signing up to a certain casino site.
Register as a player, and be rewarded with free money to play with.
More often than not, the bonuses offered upon signing up are matched deposits, meaning that whatever you deposit, they'll match.
These casino bonuses for Canadians basically allow you to double your money before you've even started playing!
It's also good for those who are new to playing casino games online, as with more money to play with, you'll have a bigger chance of winning, even if at first you're not quite sure how everything works.
Free Spins for Canadian Players
Free spins are another type of bonus that online casinos give out to players in Canada, and whilst they're not as common as matched deposits, they're just as popular.
They're also offered to players old and new alike, so whatever type of player you are, this is an easy bonus to get your hands on.
Free spins just mean that you're given a few free spins on a slot game, meaning you can play for free, with the potential to win real money.
They're offered to encourage you to sign up if you're a newcomer to the site, or if you're a regular player, they offer free spins to encourage you to keep playing and stay loyal to the site.
Reload Bonuses
Reload bonuses are the top bonuses you should be looking out for if you're an existing player with several online casinos.
They could be an offer of free spins or a matched deposit, or even just an offer of free cash to play with.
The best part about these bonuses is that you literally don't have to do a thing in order to be offered them. In fact, they're often offered if you haven't been playing recently, as a way to coax you back to the online casino games.
So having a break from playing might pay off when you receive the reload bonuses.
Some Recommendations about Canada's Online Casinos with Top Bonuses
William Hill Canada
William Hill is one of the most well-known and trusted online casinos, and the best part is, it has a whole load of different bonuses to offer for newbies to the site.
They have a few sections on the site, so the bonus you'll get will depend on what online casino games you're after.
For a lot of their classic casino games, they are currently offering to match whatever you deposit, up to C$300. So this means if you deposit C$300, they'll give you another C$300 to play with!
Specifically for Canadian players, they're offering up to C$200 as a download bonus, so all you have to do is download their casino software and put down a deposit to play.
If you'd rather not deposit such a large amount then don't worry, the minimum deposit is only C$10, so you don't have to play with hundreds.
Other sections of the site also offer bonuses, for example newcomers to poker are offered a gift bag upon their first deposit of C$20 or more. And those that bet on sports games are offered a 100% match deposit bonus on deposits over C$100.
Energy Casino Canada
Energy Casino goes beyond just matching your deposit, it gives you 150% of what you deposited!
This means that if you deposited $10, they'll give you another $15 to play with. Whilst they only offer this bonus up to $100, it means that this is perhaps the online casino bonus that helps you make the most out of your money.
Within that deal they also offer a 'reload bonus' of up to $200. Most bonuses are a one-time offer upon signing up, but Energy Casino's reload bonus means that you can play again with more free money.
So it's definitely worth sticking around for that bonus.
You can find bonuses and promotions on almost any online casino, but the key is to look out for the best offers and make the most out of your play. Even if you don't know much about playing casino games online, it's worthwhile being a newcomer.
The majority of casino bonuses are matched deposits, so the site doubles the money you have to play with.
This means that if you really want to reap the benefits of the bonuses on offer, you should deposit the maximum amount that the online casino will match, so you get as much free money to play with as possible.
It's easy to be drawn in by promises of huge bonuses, but at the same time you should make sure that you stick to sites you trust.
The top casino bonuses that we've outlined are all offered by reputable online casinos, and aren't going to present you with any nasty surprises.
There can be a lot of hidden terms and conditions, that means any promised bonuses aren't what they seem.
The top online casino bonuses of 2018 will be much more straightforward, what you see is what you get. So stick to our recommendations and you should find yourself playing with cash that you didn't even deposit!

Today is the anniversary of the tragic Line of Duty Deaths for Canarsie (Brooklyn) Firefighters from FDNY Ladder 170: Joe Cavalieri, Chris Bopp and Jimmy Bohan. Early Friday morning December 18, 1998, FDNY along the entire fire service experienced another tragic multi-loss LODD 7 days before Christmas. At 0454 hours Brooklyn C.O. send 1st alarm companies for a top floor fire of a 10 story 50 x 200 fireproof building used as a senior citizen's residence. Engine 257 and Ladder 170 were 1st due and arrived within 4 minutes with fire showing out 2 windows. Second and 3rd alarms were quickly transmitted. As per SOP, 1st due Ladder 170 were assigned to search the fire floor for victims. Lieutenant Joseph Cavalieri with FF's Christopher Bopp and James Bohan went up 10 flights of stairs with cans and tools to search for and rescue the resident of apartment 10-D, who was believed trapped…but she got out prior, unknown to FF's.
On her way out, the lady left her apartment door open. The additional air from the hallway fed the fire and blew it out the windows. The halls were equipped with sprinklers but they were deactivated. As the Lieutenant and FF's got to the door, the winds changed and blew estimated 30 mph winds back into the apartment creating a 2,000 degree fireball now blowing into the hallway.
The 3 FF's were able to transmit a MAYDAY …but that was it. The extreme heat trapped them, horrifically asphyxiated them and burned their masks off. Also injured in the fire were 6 other FF's and 4 residents. Despite efforts to save their lives they succumbed to the injuries. Today, December 19, 2014, we remember FDNY's Lieutenant Joseph Cavalieri, FF Christopher Bopp and FF James Bohan.

With the Supreme Court's ruling that President Aquino and Budget Secretary Florencio "Butch" Abad's baby- the Disbursement Acceleration Program – is unconstitutional, expect impeachment charges against Aquino to be filed soon.
The progressive groups –Anakbayan and Kilusang Mayo Uno- have hinted on impeachment in their statements hailing the High Court's decision on DAP.
Anakbayan's Vencer Crisostomo said, "Aquino and his pork gang should resign now in shame. Calls for him to be removed from office via impeachment or via a people's uprising is growing and is increasingly justified. Aquino and his pork gang should be ousted."
KMU's Elmer Labog said, "The SC ruling could only further fuel calls for the Pork Barrel King's resignation, if not ouster from office."
Last Tuesday, the Supreme Court, voting unanimously (13-0) ruled as unconstitutional "cross border transfers of the savings of the Executive to augment appropriation of other offices outside the Executive; funding of projects, activities and programs that were not covered by any appropriation in the General Appropriations Act; and withdrawal of unobligated allotment from the implementing agencies and the declaration of the withdrawn, unobligated allotments and unreleased appropriations as savings prior to the end of the fiscal year and without complying with the statutory definition of savings contained in the GAA."

Concurring Opinion
It will be recalled that the DAP came into the public knowledge after Sen. Jinggoy Estrada delivered a privilege speech September last year complaining why Malacanang is zeroing on him and his two colleagues in the opposition – Juan Ponce- Enrile and Ramon "Bong" Revilla Jr.
Not knowing about DAP then, Estrada revealed that he and 19 other senators received at P50 million to P100 million in additional lump-sum allocations and linked the huge sums to their votes for the conviction then Chief Justice Renato Corona in the 2012 impeachment trial.
Abad later confirmed the release of P1.107 billion to 20 senators and said that the funds came from the DAP.
It was later found out that there were a number of infrastructure projects in the GAA that were called canceled and the funds were re-aligned to projects submitted by the senators.
Malacanang supporters then twitted that Estrada's speech was a "dud." Well, they spoke too soon.
The SC decision has given enemies of the Aquino a potent weapon to attack him and that would be through the filing of impeachment complaints. But the question is, will the impeachment complaint prosper?
House Speaker Sonny Belmonte is said to be in firm control of the Lower House but Malacañang can't be complacent. They will have to make sure that the congressmen won't succumb to the lure of the enemies of Aquino. Without DAP and the Priority Development Assistance Fund (which has also been declared unconstitutional by the SC), Malacanang would be hard put to match the incentives of those who want to oust Aquino.
This is definitely a blow to Aquino and his "Tuwid na Daan.
This will hurt his ego but it should tell him and his advisers that just because they are in power, they are not infallible. Some humility should do them good.

Google's Mobile Search Optimization on Android
Google's mobile search results on Android will now apt you to install mobile apps that feature relevant content to your search problem. This basically transforms Google's portable indexed lists page into an application revelation benefit and will probably be a real help for app developers.
According to Techcrunch, Given the overall shift to mobile, good content now often lives inside of apps, where search engines can't typically find it. To fix this, Google introduced App indexing in late 2013, which let the search engine index content from a select number of apps and link to it from its search results pages.Today's update takes the concept of App indexing to its next logical step by helping users find relevant content in apps they don't already have on their phones.
Here is what all of this will look like in practice: Say you are searching for free mobile recharge and Google's algorithms determine that that there is a top app that provide free recharge for you. You will now see a carousel with relevant apps and a prominent install button right next to them. From there, you're taken to the Google Play store to install the app. Once the app is installed, you simply click "continue" and the app will open with the content you were looking for.
This is going to be a huge deal for mobile app developers. App discovery, after all, is still very much an unsolved problem and anything that gets an install button for a relevant app in front of more people (especially if there's no need to pay for it) is a good thing.

Sebastian Vettel: Lewis Hamilton brake-checked me
- Author: Julie Sanders Jun 26, 2017,
Jun 26, 2017, 12:06
Ferrari star Vettel was handed a 10-second stop-go penalty for "dangerous driving" after he deliberately drove into Hamilton's Mercedes while both were following the safety vehicle.
Hamilton made it clear he believed the Ferrari driver rammed him deliberately during the controversial thriller.
It looked like the turn of events had handed the win to Vettel until the German was asked to serve the afore mentioned stop-and-go penalty for intentionally ramming into Hamilton. It was just the second time I got a nudge.
"Nobody can criticise the stewards because they are what they are, like a referee. but they could have done more, certainly because I think it's the worst you can do". "I didn't run into the back of him on objective. It is not the way to do it". "I controlled the pace, like all the other restarts I slowed down in the same spot".
With the Safety Car out for a third time, as debris littered the 3.7-mile track following a number of collisions through the pack, Vettel rammed into the back of Hamilton. After a few laps we had some debris I think in the brakes so we had to stop and clean it, so we dropped back to I think 17th place.
Championship leader Vettel felt that he had been provoked by Hamilton's slow driving behind the safety vehicle, and that the Briton should also have been penalised by the stewards. Vettel then drove into the back of Hamilton before pulling alongside his championship rival, and deliberately banging wheels. He brake checked me as well, so what do you expert?
"For him to pretty much get away with driving into another driver is a disgrace", Hamilton, 32, said. "I'm just happy for myself, happy for my team, my friends, family". He said that he thought the penalty must have been for hitting Hamilton from behind. However, the safety vehicle was brought out once again as the jostling for positions saw debris fly off cars and prompted the marshalls to do a quick clean-up operation.
Hamilton, who was quickest around the Baku street circuit by half a second, could match Schumacher's mark at next month's British Grand Prix if he can also take pole in Austria in a fortnight. If he wants to prove he is a man we should do it out of the auto, face-to-face. Imagine all the young kids that are watching Formula One today and seeing that kind of behaviour from a four-time world champion. Driving dangerously in any way can put another driver at risk. "I want to kill it in the next 12 races". As I said the maneuver before was not necessary and he damaged my front wing, damaged also his rear a little bit, so I think that just not the right way to do it, exiting the corner, accelerating and then braking.
"By Turn 7 I'm told the Safety Car is going to come in, I'm only allowed a ten car-length gap between myself and the Safety Car whilst the lights are on. Importantly for the team, we scored more points in the fight with Ferrari and I got some good points for myself as well".
Alex Rose: So Vettel drives into Hamilton, gets a penalty and still manages to finish in front.
