Welcome to Naxos Records
Known principally as a virtuoso pianist and the composer of some of the greatest masterpieces in the Spanish piano music repertoire, Granados also wrote a number of orchestral pieces that have rarely been recorded. In light of this, and to mark the centenary of his death which falls this month, Naxos is releasing three new discs of his orchestral works. The pieces on this first volume, all receiving their world première recordings, demonstrate the range of influences that fed into his compositions, the most substantial and ambitious being the Suite on Galician Songs. The orchestra, from Granados' native Catalonia, worked under conductor Pablo González from 2010-15. Together, they make an ideal pairing for this new cycle of Granados' highly attractive, yet largely unknown works.
GRANADOS, E.: Orchestral Works, Vol. 1
Suite sobre cantos gallegos
Marcha de los vencidos
Cor Madrigal, Barcelona Symphony and Catalonia National Orchestra, González
Although he is best known as the composer of some of the greatest masterpieces of Spanish piano music, Enrique Granados also wrote a much less well-known sequence of orchestral music. The cinematic Marcha de los vencidos evokes the painful trudging of 'the defeated' in an unspecified battle, while the incidental music for the play Torrijos demonstrates Granados's talent for lyrical writing and his love of the stage. The ambitious Suite sobre cantos gallegos uses Galician folk melodies and dance rhythms to reflect the landscapes of the region. This is the first recording in a series marking the centenary of Granados's death.

About the Artists
Pablo González studied at London's Guildhall School of Music and Drama and went on to become winner of the Donatella Flick and the Cadaqués International Conducting Competitions. He has held the positions of associate conductor with both the London Symphony and Bournemouth Symphony Orchestras, as well as principal guest conductor of the Orchestra of the City of Granada. From 2010 to 2015 he was music director of Orquestra Simfònica de Barcelona i Nacional de Catalunya. Also active in opera, he made a highly successful British operatic début conducting L'elisir d'amore for Glyndebourne on Tour, leading to another major collaboration in 2016/17.
The OBC (Barcelona Symphony Orchestra – the National Orchestra of Catalonia) was founded in 1944. Its commitment is to promote classical and contemporary music of all cultures, giving special attention to Catalan composers. The OBC has enjoyed collaboration with renowned conductors and soloists as well as major Spanish institutions and festivals. The OBC has visited some of the world's major concert halls, including New York's Carnegie Hall and Amsterdam's Concertgebouw, and has taken part in international festivals including the Proms in London at the Royal Albert Hall and the Schleswig-Holstein Festival.
Cor Madrigal was founded in Barcelona in 1951 by Manuel Cabero and has collaborated with a number of great conductors, including Celibidache, Cambreling, Frühbeck de Burgos, McCreesh, Decker, Gonzalez, Hager, King, Mena, Pinnock, Rostropovich and Soustrot. Mireia Barrera was appointed chorusmaster in 1993. The Cor Madrigal has been the partner choir of the Auditorium of Barcelona and the Symphony Orchestra of Barcelona since the 2012–13 season.
Piano music by Granados
"The playing of Douglas Riva exudes authority...These are splendid performances of beautiful music. The featured works stand well together, and listening to the entire disc as a whole is a very pleasant experience."
– MusicWeb International
Listen to an extract from Dansas espagñolas:
No. 6. Rondalla aragonesa
"Pianist Riva lovingly delivers these works with a richly seductive piano sound. He has technique to spare and a wonderful lyrical sense, hearing notes of chords as melodic strands connecting to what came before and comes after, and he balances them accordingly - no small feat."

An employee is someone who performs work under a contract of employment.
Identifying who is, or is not, an employee has become an increasingly disputed area, with a number of different factors to be considered.
Non-employees may be 'independent contractors' or 'sub-contractors' and are employed under a contract for services or even as agents representing a client business.
The legal consequences of being an independent contractor are significantly different to those for employees. Only an 'employee' can be covered by an award or make a workplace agreement. However, some cleaners, outworkers and some drivers of public passenger vehicles who might ordinarily be considered independent contractors are deemed to be employees under the Fair Work Act 1994 (SA) [ss 4, 5], see also Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) various references to rights of outworkers [for example ss 30F, 47 - 48].
The rights and obligations of employees are very different to those who are self-employed. To distinguish between employees and independent contractors, the courts take into account a number of factors to determine what is the real nature of a particular work relationship. These factors may include the following:
What is most important is that the law will uphold the true nature of a work relationship despite any attempts to make what is really an employer/employee relationship appear to be something else. It is does not matter what label the parties give it, the court goes past that and examines what the relationship really is. The courts look at the totality of the relationship to determine whether the worker is an employee or contractor [Hollis v Vabu Pty Ltd (t/as Crisis Couriers) (2001) 207 CLR 21].
Sometimes an employer may attempt to incorrectly describe the true nature of a relationship so as to avoid responsibilities under various statutes and awards, but the Parliament and courts are wise to this. The Independent Contractors Act 2006 (Cth) and the Workplace Relations Amendment (Independent Contractors) Act 2006 (Cth) came into effect on 1 March 2007 and apply to all independent contractor arrangements which involve a constitutional corporation (that is a foreign, financial or trading corporation), the Commonwealth or a Territory. These Acts impose penalties on businesses that use 'sham arrangements' to either disguise employees as independent contractors or coerce employees into independent contracting arrangements.
Under the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) an employer must not misrepresent an employement relationship as an independent contract (sham contracting) [s 357] , must not dismiss an employee to engage them as an independent contractor [s 358] and must not make a false statement to encourage someone to be engaged as an independent contractor [s 359].
The Australian Tax Office has an online decision tool to help businesses to understand whether individual workers are employees or contractors for the purposes of tax and superannuation.
See also the Fair Work Ombudsman's website on sham contracting.
All employees have an employment contract, which can be verbal, written or a combination of both. Many contracts of employment are purely verbal. While this does not reduce any contractual rights, it may be difficult to prove the existence of a particular term. A verbal contract may be later put into writing, for example, by a letter of confirmation sent after the verbal contract has been made.
If an employee is covered by a workplace agreement or an award, it is normal to rely on a verbal contract with a letter of confirmation, because the workplace agreement or award usually provides details of most of the conditions of employment. However, if the employee is not covered by a workplace agreement or award, it is a good idea to have a written contract of employment so that the conditions of employment are recorded. The contract should cover issues such as:
The express terms of a contract of employment are those specifically agreed between the parties, whether verbally or in writing. In many cases these are few (the wage, the hours, the type of work that has to be done and where), but there are always other terms that are implied (that is, they exist without being stated or written down). These fall into two categories - those implied by law and those implied by the circumstances of a particular case. Implied terms do not apply when contradicted by an express term.
Under the Fair Work Act 1994 (SA) the South Australian Employment Tribunal constituted as the South Australian Employment Court has jurisdiction to hear and determine any question, action or claim founded on, or otherwise arising out of or in relation to a contract of employment [s 10].
A common example of this is an allegation of a breach of contract.
The South Australian Employment Tribunal may make a number of different orders if they find a breach of contract, including: an order of specific performance, granting an injunction, or awarding damages [s 10 (2)-(5)].
The employee must take all reasonable steps to carry out what has been promised under the contract of employment. Sometimes this is described as the duty to obey the lawful and reasonable orders of the employer, which usually means getting on with the work when there is work to be done and fitting in, as far as is reasonable, with the employer's scheme of operation.
The employee must exercise reasonable care and skill in the performance of the work; in other words, the employee has the duty to be efficient and to avoid negligence in doing their work.
The employee must do the job honestly and faithfully. This includes the duty to account for any property used and to pass on to the employer any profits made through the employment. 'Tips' received by many employees belong in law to the employer, although there may be exceptions peculiar to the custom and practice of a particular industry. However, an employer cannot force an employee to be searched unless it is expressly agreed to in the contract.
If an employer requests information about the conduct of other employees the employee may be under a duty to disclose information about conduct that falls within the range of the employee's work activities. An employee who exercises managerial or supervisory functions may be obliged to disclose information to the employer, even if not asked, about the misconduct of other employees. So if an employee becomes aware of another employee's damage to or theft of the employer's property, he or she must pass that information on to the employer.
While the courts are reluctant to intrude on an employee's spare time (that is, after knock-off time or prior to starting time), they have held that activities that are harmful to the employer's business (such as running a competitive business) may be incompatible with the duty to the employer. Basically, a worker should not tell others any details of the employer's profits or losses, customers, special methods or techniques used, or any information about the business that might help a competitor. Such insider knowledge is different from any skills, expertise, or general knowledge learnt or developed in the course of employment.
Some contracts of employment contain an express term preventing the employee, on leaving the employment, from entering into competition with the employer's business (restraint of trade clause). Such a term may be declared void by the courts despite this express agreement, unless it can be shown to be reasonable and not contrary to the public interest.
It is not a breach of the duty for an employee to disclose misconduct by the employer or other events that have occurred in the employment which ought to be disclosed in the public interest but, in so doing, the employee cannot also disclose the employer's trade secrets or misuse confidential information acquired in the employment. Under the Public Interest Disclosure Act 2018 (SA) (formerly the Whistleblowers Protection Act 1993 (SA)), some people who disclose information in the public interest have protection from victimisation resulting from the disclosure, although legal advice should be sought before disclosure [see ss 5 and 9]. In the case of Sutton v State of South Australia (1996) 68 SASR 13 the Supreme Court held that even the Ombudsman could be sued in the unlikely event that he or she victimised anyone for making an appropriate disclosure of public interest information. Public interest information is very broadly defined, and includes information that can be considered to be environmental and health information, or public administration information [see s 4]. An informant who is victimised can take legal action in the courts or can lodge a complaint with the Commissioner for Equal Opportunity, see discrimination.
If in the course of employment an employee creates or invents something when he or she is employed to do things of that sort, the property in the creation or invention (unless otherwise agreed) belongs to the employer, see copyright.
In some workplaces there are specific rules (often referred to as the employer's policies) which may be handed to workers when they start their employment or sometimes they are displayed on notice boards. If before the employment contract is made the worker is given a copy of the rules and made to sign for them, or if the existence of the rules is reasonably brought to the worker's knowledge, the rules become part of the terms of the employment. If they are shown to the worker after the commencement of employment, he or she must consent to them before they become part of the contract.
As with the employee, the employer must take all reasonable steps to make it possible for the employee to carry out his or her part of the agreement and must not deprive the employee of the opportunity to perform the work.
The law increasingly has been suggesting that an employer does not have the right to simply have someone sitting around so long as the employer pays him or her. In other words, there may also be an obligation to give an employee something meaningful to do. This is still a developing area of law and if an employer has no work to provide it may lead to the employee's retrenchment.
Under the national system employers have a duty to keep employee records and to provide payslips to employees within one working day of paying the employees wages [ss 535-536 Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth)].
Employers also have a duty to pay superannuation to almost all employees, the Australian Tax Office has a guide to assist employers know whether they must pay superannuation. Superannuation is additional to pay and is a minimum payment of 9.5% of gross income.
Employers also have responsibilities to ensure safe work places - see the Hanbook sections on Workplace Bullying and Safety Legislation.
Some terms are implied depending on the circumstances of the job. Some exist because they are so obvious that they go without saying, while others may be said to exist because, although they were not expressly raised at the time the contract was made, it is certain that they would have been agreed on if they had been raised. In some trades there are terms that are implied as a matter of custom, but these must be well known and accepted before they will be recognised by the courts. An example of an implied term is where an employer will pay an employee for time spent in washing or cleaning up if the work is dirty.
A casual employee usually works on an irregular basis and may or may not be offered work which in turn he or she has the option to refuse. Workplace agreements and awards often contain provision for casual employees. However, many workers are called 'casual' when in fact they are part-time or full-time employees. If an employee has regular work and there is a reasonable expectation that work will continue, then they may not be true casual workers and should seek further advice about their entitlements.
As a general guide, casual employees:

The year 2010 is just around the corner and will soon be knocking on our doors. Also in 2010, some U.S. residents can expect U.S. Census workers to be knocking on their doors as well. What are your rights and what are some common identity thefts scams that you may encounter as the census takes place?
The U.S. census, held every ten years, is an attempt to attain to a nationwide headcount of every person that resides in the United States.
Why is the U.S. Census important?
The information collected from the U.S. census is used not only by the federal government policy makers but also by educators and community leaders to make imports decisions including the distribution of resources and in some cases redistricting.
The last two U.S. Censuses missed counting millions of residents, particularly minorities and low-income household. This is critical because undercounting may reduce funding for important institutions such as hospitals, education, child care programs, veteran's services, rural development, environmental issues, transportation or even disaster preparedness.
An accurate census count is very important and yet citizens need to their rights when it comes to participating in the U.S. Census 2010. The Census Bureau attributes undercounting to many reasons including a lack of understanding of the census as well as a general mistrust of the government.
How does the Census work?
Census workers are already working to collect information. Law enforcement has concerns that con artists may take advantage of the census process to imitate census workers and obtain information under false pretenses. It is important for citizens to know what they should expect and what SHOULD NOT happen when a census workers comes to your door.
Census Workers who knock on your door should have 4 items with them:
-A census worker badge
-A handheld device
-A Census Bureau canvas bag
-A confidentially notice
Always ask to see an I.D. and never invite anyone into your home that you do not know.
Census workers at this time are only verifying addresses for later mailing. They can ask for a name, age, gender and race. They may also ask for a "salary range."
They should not ask for nor should you give to anyone:
-Your social security number
-Bank account information
-Credit card information
Census workers may contact you in person, by mail or even by phone but Census workers WILL NOT contact anyone by email. Do not click on any links or attachments that are supposedly from the Census Bureau or you'll be at risks for identity theft or computer malware.
If you receive a phishing e-mail that says it is from the Census Bureau, do not open it but report it here: email@example.com.
If you have any questions about a census survey, a census worker at your door or a phone call from a census worker, you can call you regional census office and speak to a representative. To find phone numbers for census regional offices visit: http://www.census.gov/field/www/
The Better Business Bureau (BBB) is advising people to, "Be cooperative, but cautious, so as not to become a victim of fraud or identity theft."
What are your rights concerning participating in the U.S. Census?
From the U.S. Census Bureau website:
-The census is mandated by the U.S. Constitution.
-The next census is in 2010.
-Your participation in the census is required by law.
-It takes less than 10 minutes to complete.
-Federal law protects the personal information you share during the census.
But do I have to open my door to a census worker?
We called the U.S. Census Bureau customer service number to ask just this question. The Census customer service representative assured us that the answer is "no."
"It's your house, you don't have to answer your door to anybody," she said but she went on to say that if the U.S. Census Bureau already has your address then "you'll get a survey in the mail and if you fill out the survey and send it back in, then no one will come to your house anyway."
So the U.S. Census Bureau will only come knocking on your door if they don't have your address on file or know who lives in the residence OR if you fail to send back the survey.

Vehicle Reviews:
2014 Nissan Xterra Review
The sport utility vehicle is one of the most popular and one of the most
wide-reaching vehicle formats on the market. In the ever-expanding
universe of SUVs, the Xterra is among the most popular, and every year
this Nissan SUV is always one of the most talked-about. For those in the
market for a great midsize SUV, or for those curious about this Nissan,
take a closer look at the 2014 Xterra.
A Tough as Nails (yet still refined) SUV
The modern, suburban street-roaming SUV evolved from heavy-duty military
and commercial vehicles. While there is a contingent of SUV drivers who
use their vehicles for little more than a short trip to the supermarket,
or maybe a brief highway jaunt to work, a true SUV should be capable of
much more.
Nissan kept off-road use in mind with the design and manufacture of the
Xterra. The 2014 Nissan Xterra is unique in the SUV world in that it
boasts a clean, unpretentious design both inside and out. The unaffected
design and rugged materials of the Xterra serve more than just an
aesthetic purpose: The interior and exterior are also exceptionally easy
to clean–particularly important for off-road drivers.
Of course, the 2014 Xterra also has more than enough brawn to live up to
its robust reputation. The 4-liter V6 engine packs plenty of power for
just about any conventional or off-road purpose. Serious drivers will
appreciate the choice of transmission, with the option for a five-speed
automatic or a six manual, depending on the trim.
However, SUV shoppers who are concerned that the Xterra might be a bit
too crude and uncomfortable should take note of the spacious, quiet
cabin and comfortable seats. Anybody still not convinced would do well
to test drive the 2014 Xterra and experience the comfortable, smooth
ride and excellent handling for themselves.
A Smorgasbord of Modern Features
Any carmaker in 2014 would be wise to offer a long list of standard and
optional features with any model, and fortunately for SUV buyers, Nissan
follows this rule and then some with the 2014 Xterra.
Safety features are an important facet of any vehicle, especially an
SUV, and the Xterra comes standard with stability control, anti-lock
disc brakes, and a host of airbags including front and side curtain. The
Pro-4X version of the Xterra also boasts hill-start assist and
hill-descent control.
The interior of every 2014 Xterra is adorned with a quality 6-speaker
stereo system and Bluetooth capabilities. Buyers can also opt for an
upgraded 8-speaker Rockford Fosgate audio system, a USB port, and the
formidable NissanConnect infotainment package. NissanConnect is always a
wise inclusion with any Nissan purchase, as it provides excellent
navigation, Smartphone apps, a backup camera and more. Whichever package
you choose, the controls for the Xterra are well designed and intuitive.
See all these features and more on display at your South Shore Nissan

Psychic medium called into find missing cat
PUBLISHED: 15:00 27 June 2011 | UPDATED: 23:52 29 June 2011
An animal-loving family from Sprowston are so desperate to find their cat that they have enlisted the help of a psychic medium to try and contact the missing moggie.
Mini Max is a much loved member of the Green family who live at Chenery Drive in Sprowston with other rescue cats Callie, Kiescha and Sweepie, but the distinctive tabby and white cat has not been seen for more than a week.
Fears for the welfare of the nine-year-old cat are growing given that he is currently on special food and medication for urinary problems which he has now not had since the June 16 - the day he went missing.
So frantic have the family become in their efforts to trace Mini Max that they have called upon the expertise of psychic Dominic Zenden to try and help find him.
Linda Green, 53, whose son Daniel, 23, owns Mini Max, said: "We started putting posters up last Friday night all and have put more than 400 up round the estate.
"We have put leaflets through every door on the St Margarets estate and new builds opposite Chenery Drive, but heard nothing.
"I contacted Dominic Zenden a local Psychic medium who came to visit us on Monday. He used psychometry to link into Max's energy from his blanket and belongings and feels that he is still with us and in the surrounding area. He has also visited us again on Wednesday and still feels he is close."
Mr Zenden, who has been a spiritualist medium for more than 25 years and has been called in to try and trace missing pets in the past.
In addition to Mr Zenden's help, Mrs Green, a mother-of-two whose daughter Rachael, 25, is a veterinary nurse, said they are also calling on people living in the area to keep their eyes peeled for the beloved pet.
She said: "We are begging everybody to check their gardens, garages, sheds and vans/cars to see if he is about and contact us with any information possible.
"He may have strayed further afield than just Chenery Drive and St Margarets Drive, so we are asking everybody in the local area to look out for him.
"We have also added him on to facebook - Mini Max Green - and ask everybody to add him as the more people looking out for him the better. If you know anybody feeding a stray tabby and white cat please let us know." Mini Max is microchipped and was wearing a collar when last seen which is green with blue tags.
He has four white paws, a white bib, white belly and a white tip on his tail. He also has a fractured upper canine tooth.
Anyone with information about Mini Max should call 01603 429754 or 07912 609057.
Have you gone to extraordinary lengths to find a missing pet? Call reporter Peter Walsh on 01603 772436 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust
2018 and still there is no way to retrieve text I copied and forgot to paste before copying another? Technology is failing humanity. Anyway, I had to rewrite this post. And a disclaimer, the first was funny and more interesting.
Over the weekend of 17th Feb, two of us from the group of serial procrastinators I belong to ended up at The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust Orphanage to wind off. We had planned on doing a trip monthly all year long but January being Njaanuary, and being the procrastinators we are, we still had done no trip. With the hope that February was better for most of us, we had agreed on DWST. However, come Saturday, it was the same show. This however didn't dampen the spirits of those of us who showed up.
As explained on their website as below, The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust is an Elephant Rescue centre. Vulnerable Elephants are rescued from the wild, brought here and taken care of till they are able to be on their own in the wild again.
Born from one family's passion for Kenya and its wilderness, the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust is today the most successful orphan-elephant rescue and rehabilitation program in the world and one of the pioneering conservation organisations for wildlife and habitat protection in East Africa.
Founded in 1977 by Dr Dame Daphne Sheldrick D.B.E, in honour of the memory of her late husband, famous naturalist and founding Warden of Tsavo East National Park, David Leslie William Sheldrick MBE, the DSWT claims a rich and deeply rooted family history in wildlife and conservation.
The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust is located along Magadi Road, just before the Multimedia University gate. The entrance is to your right if you are coming from Galleria Mall. There is no signage to indicate the Centre's entrance (Well, not one that I noticed) but there is a Kenya Wildlife Service Central Workshop sign that can help. They share the same entrance. From the gate it is about a kilometre and a half, walking distance if you ask (For non-Nairobians ). It's not far, trust me…we walked our way back from there. If driving, the road is pretty easy to maneuver as you have no corners to turn into. DWST is at the very end, you will probably find a row of parked safari vans and buses as we did. There are also motorcycles at the main gate incase you are not driving and not in the mood to walk. They will charge Kes. 50.
Now, some advice I should share; GET THERE BEFORE 10.30AM! Earlier if you may. The line that was at the entrance was akin to those I used to follow in high school during 'special' meals
Once inside, the experience is as unique as it gets. At exactly 11Am, the baby elephants are brought for a mud-bath. You watch as they play with the red soil, and sometimes may end up on the wrong side of that bath. You will have a chance to go touch them as one of the keepers gives a talk about the elephants, how they were rescued, where from, how they are progressing and the Trust' work in general. I have to admit I heard not a word he said. The time simply flies by as you are mesmerized by these African giants. And no, I did not go touch any of them, my mama brought me up well as an African. There is a platform that has a bird's view, I recommend. You may not feed the animals but will get a chance to view the handlers feeding them.
The DSWT is an amazing destination all of us should visit, especially those of you who have never seen an elephant up-close. Go enjoy!
VISITING HOURS: 11.00AM to 12.00 NOON
ENTRANCE FEE: $7 / Kes. 500

DO IT PROPER With Boy Lagi By Makna Talks
Instagram pods have been on the rise ever since Instagram switched customers' feeds from chronological to an algorithm-based mostly order. Seeing that Fb owns Instagram, users don't wish to do anything that flags their presence as customers who are 'gaming' the system. It's potential to identify this by wanting intently at their content material and whether they had a sudden spike in engagement sometime, in addition to the ratio of their followers to their likes. The users in your pod will not like your content material as a result of they actually prefer it, but because they get something out of it for themselves.
Pods are the Triberr of Instagram. Trying to trick Fb or Instagram's algorithm is probably by no means a terrific concept. Instagram pods won't make you an Instagram star. Seems, it's very straightforward to get banned and kicked out of an engagement pod. Instagram (and by extension Fb) spend some huge cash and time optimizing their algorithms and watching how their users are partaking on the platform.
Also be sure to all have your notifications turned on for the Pod accounts. Very like the niche pods, small pods can also offer a extra real engagement experience—many of them could be open to giving you tips in your content material in the event you're in a pod of like-minded social managers. And do not forget that even for those who're not formally in a Pod, it is still good to assist other native businesses so keep the likes and feedback flowing.
Instagrammers have found a approach to take action by joining and participating in Instagram pods, secret communities that help each other in a method that tricks Instagram into considering you've got high engagement so that it gives your profile extra exposure. 1. Make sure that when you're commenting on each other's posts that you are utilizing greater than 4 or 5 phrases and keep away from superlatives like amazing, terrific or adore it or just using a string of emojis.
Both of these pods had the rule that all likes must be completed within an hour and a half, otherwise you would be warned or banned for leeching. An Instagram engagement pod is a group of customers who cluster together in group chats or boards where users indicate to the remainder of the group that they have just posted a photograph or video on Instagram.

Curbless shower design: requirements and options

Curbless showers are showers without a raised shower dam as is traditionally found in tiled showers. Initially, curbless showers were necessary to facilitate shower access by wheelchair users, particularly in public facilities like hotels and hospitals. Now curbless showers are popular for their look.
To ensure successful installation of this increasingly in-demand shower style, specifiers and installers must know the requirements and options for constructing them. With the dam removed to make a shower "curbless," it becomes extremely important to utilize alternate means for managing the water, which is accomplished primarily through slope, waterproofing, and water-containment techniques. A few things I always recommend are:
- Ensure the shower floor is sloped 1/4" per foot toward the drain. This can be difficult when the drain is in the center of the shower floor. Linear trench drains are getting more popular since they can be located at the back of the shower, which is more practical for providing floor slope and accommodating a wheelchair. Many also find them more aesthetically pleasing.
- The bathroom floor outside the curbless shower must be the high point of the room so water can drain toward the shower.
- The bathroom door threshold can act as a quasi-dam, to prevent water that migrates outside of a curbless shower from migrating outside of the bathroom entirely.
- All transitions and penetrations in the room must be sealed with an ASTM C920 sealant.
- Proper construction of accessible and curbless showers can be tricky, due to the many codes and standards that must be referenced to ensure compliance. There are national and international building and plumbing codes, local codes, and tile industry guidelines. Any combination of these may apply to any given shower. If, in addition to being code-compliant, a curbless shower must also be handicap-accessible, there are also the federal requirements of the Americans with Disability Act (ADA), given in the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design.
To waterproof or not to waterproof, that is the question
Recently, required waterproofing of bathrooms adjacent to curbless showers has been a topic of discussion, likely resulting from a change to the 2015 Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC), Chapter 4 Section 408.5, which now says: "The immediate adjoining space to showers without thresholds shall be considered a wet location and shall comply with the requirements of the building, residential and electrical codes." Some interpret that to mean that such areas must be waterproofed. I do not interpret the code change that way, as there are no requirements given in International Building Code (IBC), International Residential Code (IRC), or Electrical Code to waterproof wet areas. The interpretation that waterproofing is required likely stems from thinking of wet area requirements in the context of tile industry practices, which often relates to waterproofing.
UPC lists one variety of curbless shower – those designed to their accessibility standards – as an exception to its aforementioned requirement to follow IBC, IRC, and Electrical Code. These showers are instead subject to design criteria given in a table (Table 1701.1), but none of the requirements in that table refer to waterproofing either.
Likewise, the 2016 TCNA Handbook does not require full waterproofing of a curbless-shower-adjacent bathroom. Curbless shower methods B421C and B422C, which are voluntary guidelines, require a continuous bonded waterproof membrane on the floor and walls of the shower itself, with that waterproofing extending outside the shower at least one foot beyond the high point of the floor; additional waterproofing outside the shower is suggested as a consideration, but not required.
Nonetheless, although my interpretation is that waterproofing of a bathroom adjacent to a curbless shower is optional, I always strongly recommend full waterproofing of the floor, with the waterproofing flashing up the walls at least 3", to avoid water damage in those areas. I have found that when consumers become aware of the option to waterproof the entire bathroom floor or not, they will pay the added cost for the added value and protection. On the other hand, when consumers were not given the option, and then have a leak incident
in their bathroom that resulted in water traveling below through ceilings and into adjacent rooms causing great collateral damage, they are very unhappy with their tile supplier or installer for not giving them a choice. So you are doing a disservice to your customers if you don't give them a choice, which at the same time helps limit your liability.
Is a curbless shower allowed?
Interestingly, while some codes address how to construct a curbless shower, others address whether a curbless shower is even allowed. Some local codes prohibit curbless showers due to how they interpret the UPC, while other local codes provide guidelines, with some requiring that adjacent bathroom floors be waterproofed as a continuation of the shower. In such cases, waterproofing of a bathroom adjacent to a curbless shower goes from recommendation to requirement due to local code being more stringent and specific than UPC.
In addition to UPC, several other building codes address shower construction: International Plumbing Code (Section 417), International Residential Code (Chapter 27, Section P2708), and International Building Code (Chapter 11, Accessibility Section 1220.127.116.11, Chapter 25 sections 1210, 2509, and 2511). Although they, too, leave waterproofing of bathrooms adjacent to curbless showers optional, it's important to be familiar with their requirements to ensure shower compliance in all other respects.
When utilizing codes and guidelines, be sure to reference the correct edition. Code bodies have "code cycles" for making changes and updates, and states, counties, cities, etc., adopt and adapt codes on their own timelines. Often, the code in effect in a given locale is not the most current version available, making it even more challenging to construct a curbless shower "by the book."

We've put together a summary of the latest personal finance news from the past month.
Throughout May, the news has been largely dominated by the snap general election on June 8. But, while the world of personal finance was out of the limelight, it was no less eventful.
Here are some of the highlights:
You can finally open a lifetime ISA
Announced in April 2016 and officially launched in April 2017, lifetime ISAs are tax-free individual savings accounts aimed at younger savers.
To be eligible, you must be aged 18 to 39. You can save up to £4,000 a year and the government will throw in £1,000 a year - a 25% bonus. You can use the ISA either to buy your first property or to save for retirement.
Despite being launched over a month ago, no high street bank has offered them. But now, the first lifetime ISA has finally hit the market, thanks to mobile investment platform Nutmeg. MyMoneyBox, another online platform specialising in micro-investing - that is, investing your spare change - will be launching its own lifetime ISA soon, too.
You can inherit an ISA tax-free
You can now inherit your spouse or civil partner's ISA savings without losing their tax-free status. The rules were introduced back in April 2015, but they only came into force this May.
Under the old rules, interest earned on an ISA was only tax-free until death. This meant that anyone who inherited an ISA would have to start paying tax on the full amount, including all the interest earned over the years.
Under the new rules, you're entitled to a one-time additional tax-free allowance - called an APS - that covers the value of the ISA you've inherited. So, if you inherit an ISA worth £30,000, your ISA allowance for 2017/18 would be £50,000: this year's allowance of £20,000 plus the £30,000 you've inherited.
To be eligible, you must be married or in a civil partnership. You have three years from the date of your spouse or civil partner's death to make use of this one-time additional allowance.
Mortgage APRs reach all-time lows
If you're thinking of buying property, now could be a great time to do so. Interest rates are at unprecedented lows, with some banks and building societies offering APRs as low as 0.89%.
The best rates do come with a few catches. In particular, they're fixed for five years, which means you may lose out if interest rates drop further during that period. You'll also need to put up a 40% deposit, which may be more than many can afford.
That said, interest rates are low across the board. In other words, you can probably snap up a great mortgage deal even with a 20% to 25% deposit and a smaller fixed-rate period.
Of course, your credit report and score may influence the interest rate a lender is prepared to offer you. So it's never too early to start monitoring your report and working on your score to make it the best it can be.
Samsung Pay finally arrives in the UK
Launched in 2015, Samsung Pay has lagged behind its rivals Apple Pay and Android Pay due to availability problems. It was originally meant to reach the UK in mid-2016, but the release date was pushed back indefinitely to sometime in 2017.
Well, the wait is finally over. Samsung Pay is available in the UK as of the 16 May 2017.
Samsung Pay works in a similar way to Apple Pay and Android Pay. However, it also uses a technology called magnetic secure transmission (MST). This works in a similar way to a card's magstripe, which means Samsung Pay works even with payment terminals that aren't contactless-enabled.
Unfortunately, Samsung Pay currently only supports a limited number of banks and card providers, namely Santander, Nationwide and MNBA. You'll also need a Samsung Galaxy S6 or up to use it.
So long, old fiver
Old £5 notes - which were replaced by the new plastic £5 in September - ceased to be legal tender on May 5. This means they'll no longer be accepted in shops, bars, restaurants and other establishments around the UK.
But if you still have the odd old fiver lying around, fear not. You can exchange it for a brand new £5 note at the Bank of England or at the Post Office. High street banks can also keep accepting the old notes. However, this is entirely at their discretion, so it's best to call your local branch and ask first.
Once you have your brand new fiver, you might want to check its serial code. The first batch of new £5 notes have become sought-after collector's items. Those with codes starting AA01 in particular have been known to fetch up to £80,000 at auction.
Who said a fiver can't buy you anything these days?

Follow the Leader Episode 148: A Question of Time...
Redartz: Welcome to our little Bronze age sharing session for the first week of November! Here in the US of A we (or most of us, anyway) just changed our clocks back for Daylight Savings Time. Not sure that it saves much, but there it is. As we await our first hardy responder with a topic for the week, let's think a bit about time. Did time in your youth seem more plentiful, or did school and other responsibilities eat it up like work in adulthood? Did you find it tough to fill your time, or did you never have enough of it? Were you aware of the overall pop cultural time frame in which you lived, or was it just Tuesday? What say we 'kill some time' and chat.

This rich guy in Elkhart, Indiana built a massive "Hall of Heroes" museum as a tribute to the Justice League. It is now a museum open for tourists!
A link to "The Hall of Heroes" is below.
Anyhow, you got a ton of dough... what do you do with it? Or, to stay focused, what do you do that's comic related with it???

Red - Great questions!
I think I became aware of epochs in time in the 70s due to Happy Days and Sternako's History of Comics.
I mean, I knew I was living in the 60s and 70s but they were measured against the 30s, 40s, and 50s. (There was no life before the Great Depression? Of course, but it was so distant probably because there was no significant amount of video to capture it?)
But for me, getting back to a 6-hour time difference with the UK (they switched clocks a week before us) meant I get to listen to their same "Talk Sport" radio show driving to work again! I listen live, since it is radio also streaming over the net. Charlie loves soccer and they speak English in the UK more/less and I get my dose on the way to work!

Yeah I think there's always a slight lag between decades, so you could say the 60s didn't really end till around 1973, and the 70s spilled over into the first couple years of the 80s before the "hooray for capitalism/greed is good" philosophy took over. I remember the late 70s, but I was just a kid at the time so it didn't really leave a mark.
Here in Saskatchewan, we don't change our clocks, but because (almost) everywhere else does, all the TV shows are now on an hour later. it always takes me a while to adjust.

Hmmm-- The assumption is that beloved, departed Mr. Bixby isn't already in an independently-powered little secret chamber down there. . . ? (Mr. Ferrigno may have been quick to point out, "I'm not dead yet"--- and demonstrated the fact by bestowing several head-thwams to ceiling upon the asker. . . )
For real-- a bit of a dream-project of mine (having the said-proposed funds) would be to create and produce a stage-adaptation of Austin Grossman's "Soon I Will Be Invincible". The book has an inherently theatrical feel to it-- perhaps the intimacy of the parallel storytellers? And it feels like it would slide wonderfully into a fairly-conventional two-person format. Given time, money, and permission--- that's probably a project I would love to give life to.

I was definitely aware that I was an '80's kid. I thought the '70's were dirty and ugly (bellbottoms, grrr!). Then in the '90's all that came back in a way, and now the kids are back wearing 'mom jeans.' I suspect that it's this recurrence in fashion, and also the difficulty in defining the 'aughts' that have really eroded the decimalization of time for me. Also, working on college campuses all my adult life (I went to college ... and stayed) there's a lot of flux, change, and return, so it all tends to muddle at this point.
One thing I definitely hated when I was younger though was the valorization of the '60's, particularly in music. Unfortunately, it's now happening with the '80's. Seriously, when I'm grocery shopping and the store starts piping in the Clash and the Specials it just makes me feel like a sad, middle-aged consumer rather than lifting me away on a euphoric wave of nostalgia.
Happy Guy Fawkes, Colin, and cheers all!

I'm with you Selenarch... I go into the Trader Joe's and sometimes I feel like I'm in my frat house in the early 80s: it's like non-stop New Wave and British Synth (Cyndy Lauper to Human League to Robert Palmer to Level 43 to ...).
I really dig it, but I realize that they're playing for a reason.

Man, it seems like we're taking pop quizzes here in the past few weeks with all of these questions. Didn't fell up to responding yesterday, as it seems I'm coming down with something and had a doozy of a headache most of the day.
Anyway, *heavy sigh* here goes:
1. Did time in your youth seem more plentiful, or did school and other responsibilities eat it up like work in adulthood?
It did seem more plentiful to me; we all may have complained about school-work, but it tended be manageable so that I had enough time for leisure activities, like reading, watching some TV and, later, going out with friends. I think it was only as I got deeper into college that the workload made it seem like 24 hours in a day just wasn't enough.
2. Did you find it tough to fill your time, or did you never have enough of it?
Again, before college, I was able to strike a balance. Even though I may have sometimes complained when I was still in grade school, I never recall being *genuinely* bored. Also, if it seemed like I had nothing to do, either of my parents would find some kind of chores for me - we lived on a 12-acre piece of land, so there were things like mowing the lawn, picking fruit from the many trees on our property, weeding the garden, feeding the chickens (and sometimes other livestock) and helping my then self-employed dad in his machine shop (mainly stuff like sweeping the floor and oiling the machinery).
3. Were you aware of the overall pop cultural time frame in which you lived, or was it just Tuesday?
Hm, I suppose, back in the '70s, when I was still a preteen, that I kind of had some idea that we were in the 'disco era.' I was aware of the 1950s and 1960s as these specific eras with their own character early on, thanks to TV shows like Happy Days and all of the related '50s nostalgia, and the recently concluded (yep, about 1973-ish) '60s. A lot of hippies, then folks already pushing 30 or more, were still around. And yeah, when I did hit my teens, I starting to perceive the '80s as a separate thing, the Reagan era and so forth.
Of course, as a kid, when I thought of the 1950s in particular, it seemed like something deep in the past, but then in the 1990s, when I was in my twenties, and I saw that first wave of '70s nostalgia, it hit me that to the first-wave boomers who were waxing nostalgic during the actual 1970s, the 1950s probably seemed like yesterday.
4. (..) you got a ton of dough... what do you do with it? Or, to stay focused, what do you do that's comic related with it?
O.k., since doing something actually altruistic is off the table, something that occurred to me on a number of occasions when doing this thought experiment - and in light of the fact that sometimes Kickstarter campaigns are launched for this very purpose - is bringing together original creators to finish up some of their dangling stories they way they wanted. Obviously, this refers to series and characters owned by the Big Two or some other company, so the money, besides paying the creators handsomely, would also be used to pay lawyers to smooth out all of the legal matters. For example, this would mean giving Don McGregor the opportunity to finish the Black Panther vs. the Klan story, or John Byrne the Last Galactus story. The obvious problem is that now so many of these creators are no longer with us. For example, ideally the Black Panther story I mentioned would be drawn by Rich Buckler and/or Billy Graham, both now deceased. I would have loved to see the Omega story concluded as its original creators wanted, but of them (Steve Gerber, Mary Skrenes and Jim Mooney) only Skrenes is still around. Similarly, I would have liked to see what Gerber would have done with Mr. Miracle as well, but alas.

I had to shorten my comment above, as blogger told me it was too long. See? Too many damn questions! :P
Anyway, the rest of my response to the last question:
If nothing else, I would throw down the cash to get the fifth issue of the Cat finished (i.e., colored) and published. It was scripted, and most if not all of the art has been done - and if not, well, Romana Fradon is still around. Yep, that's right, Fradon did the art for a Marvel book, and except for some scans of pages floating around on the internet, it's never seen the light of day in proper form.
And by the way HB, interesting that you mentioned "Soon I Will be Invincible." That's yet another of the many books sitting on my to-read pile. I really need to get to it...

Wait a minute--- that Hall of Heroes is on Cassopolis St?? I just checked it out-- I used to drive right past that spot (several decades ago) to get to the RV factory I worked for (for a short time). . . hunh, and I worked part-time at the McDonald's that's about a mile up the road--- (these were concurrent jobs, in fact. Talk about yer time bein' filled--!)
From the website, it looks like a GIANT Comic Book room, it does-!

If you read the Chicago Tribune article, the guy's wife divorced him b/c he put her car out of the garage to put Tony Stark's in, from one of the Iron Man movies, lol.
As you know, at the bottom of Lake Michigan, with the infernal Chinook Winds, that is like "snow belt ground zero."
Perhaps that's "one collectible too far???"

Charlie, your comment there evokes a very specific memory from an era (Late 70's-- specifically the Blizzard of '78) in that region (SW Michigan-- South Bend/Misawaka/Elkhart area). The HUGELY popular "cool" vehicles-of-choice that were ABUNDANT even in our little town were those low-riding Trans-Ams, Firebirds, Corvettes, and the Datsun Z-26/28's. Pretty much THE cars to lust after in the late 70's. And all of them absolutely worthless in the completely typical Lower Lake winters, as a 4" snowfall could leave them stuck, and the shallowest of slippery inclines could leave them foundering at the bottom. They also were perfectly proportioned to be the point of a low, gentle snow-drift-- and they would flippin' vanish in heavier storms.

The Cardinals have been awarded cornerback Trevor Williams off waivers, the team announced in a release. To make room on the active roster, Arizona has released punter Ryan Winslow.
Williams was just waived by the Chargers, and he'll be staying on the west coast. Patrick Peterson still has one game left on his suspension and Tramaine Brock got banged up during Arizona's Week 5 game, so they needed some help in the secondary. A Penn State product, Williams made a name for himself in Los Angeles as an undrafted free agent. In 2017, he started 15 games and had 13 passes defended and two interceptions.
He started seven games last year, but then got hurt and his recovery lagged. He started this year off injured again and hasn't appeared in a game in 2019, although he's apparently back to full health. He hasn't played since midway through last season, so it's unclear if he'll be able to play right away. Either way, it's a nice high-upside and low-risk pickup for this rebuilding Cardinals team. Winslow had been filling in for regular punter Andy Lee, who should now be ready to return from his injury.

Brisbane airport is located about 14km northeast of the CBD, and it generally takes about 15-18 minutes to travel between the two. And with Fortitude Valley on the north-eastern border of the CBD, getting from Brisbane airport to Fortitude Valley is even quicker! The Valley, as it is known, has its own train station, as well as plenty of bus routes. That means your transport options from Brisbane airport to Fortitude Valley are abundant. But by far the best transport option is a chauffeured airport transfer from CitiCar.
CitiCar is one of the few services that offers door-to-door transport from the Brisbane airport to Fortitude Valley. We take pride in combining unrivalled value for money with exceptional comfort and convenience. In fact, our prices are on par with those of the other transport services of Brisbane airport. So rather than spend half an hour in a taxi rank or an hour on a bus, why not book with CitiCar?

Founded at UTPA as orchestra of volunteer musicians
Volunteers formed South Texas Symphony Association (STSA) to support the Valley Symphony Ochestra
The Valley Symphony Chorale joined STSA
STSA assumed sponsorship of the Rio Grande Valley International Music Festival, continuing to provide live orchestra concerts for elementary school children
Maestro Peter Dabrowski, Music Director / Conductor
STSA began sponsoring chamber music rentals, workshops and master classes
STSA began sponsoring the South Texas Youth Symphony
STSA celebrated the 55th Season
of the VSO
Dr. David Means, Choral Conductor joins the VSO
STSA enters its 65th Season
of the VSO
Founded in 1952 at the formerly named University of Texas - Pan American as an orchestra of volunteer musicians, the Valley Symphony Orchestra (VSO) has grown into the 90+ musician Valley Symphony Orchestra, and the 100+ volunteer Valley Symphony Chorale. Our mission is to improve life in a diverse community through artistic excellence in the performance and preservation of great music. This mission will be achieved through excellence in the live performances of great music as we strive to engage, inspire, and educate the populations of the Rio Grande Valley.
A characteristic that sets the Valley Symphony Orchestra apart from the typical orchestras of other cities is our musicians. Our orchestra consists of valley-wide musicians who hold professions as medical physicians, fine arts directors, educators and college professors at South Texas College and University of Texas Rio Grande Valley when not performing with their instruments. Apart from showcasing local musicians and vocalists, VSO exposes the Rio Grande Valley to internationally and critically acclaimed soloists who join us as guest artists. The VSO has performed concerts throughout the lower Rio Grande Valley as well as Mexico cities such as Monterrey, Saltillo, and Ciudad Victoria.
In 1976, the corporate entity of the VSO, South Texas Symphony Association (STSA) was formed by community volunteers who not only wanted to maintain a symphonic orchestra in the RGV, but who found a need to support the development of public school string programs, a youth orchestra, summer music programs, chamber concerts, and educational concerts for school-age children in low-income communities.
VSO consists of three components that work towards our mission. Those components are: a symphonic season, which typically runs from September through May; the Chamber Concert Series; and the Children's Education Concerts.
The Chamber Concert Series offers a unique musical experience to valley-wide residents by showcasing internationally renowned artists top the Sky Tower Club overlooking the McAllen skyline on the 17th floor of the Chase Neuhaus Tower. In 2000, the Children's Education Concerts, previously known as the Rio Grande Valley International Music Festival (RGVIMF) was created to address the need for cultural diversity, music education and initial exposure of the arts to low-income children in the Rio Grande Valley. Since then, VSO has performed for over 110,000 students between the ages of 8 and 15 years old. VSO has partnered with McAllen ISD and IDEA Public Schools to put on these concerts, and always welcomes other school districts to bring their students.
In 2001, Dr. Peter Dabrowski joined the symphony as its seventh Music Director / Conductor. Dabrowski is a world-class conductor, originally from Warsaw, Poland, who now provides unparalleled commitment to provide exhilarating musical performance and education to the Rio Grande Valley. He believes "Music has the power to change lives. As a conductor, it is [his] task to artistically unify the extraordinary talents of each musician into orchestral harmony."
The VSO is an important part of the community fabric. Communities with orchestras attract volunteers, voters, philanthropists, and other active, civic-minded participants. The presence of an orchestra can be a community's economic development. Continued support from our patrons and our local community is needed to sustain our current programs and provide more exciting performances to our audiences. To learn more about how you can support the Valley Symphony Orchestra, contact Vivian Vargas, Marketing Manager at (956) 661-1615 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Scout XC Navajo$51,500.00
The Scout XC Navajo 2-place Light Sport Aircraft has all of the qualities of the Scout XC Apache, but is built for the outback pilot with an "open-style" airframe. When you have places to see and everywhere to go, this is your light sport aircraft! The Navajo airframe is a revolutionary design incorporating sport aircraft design suspension, welded 4130 aircraft steel main structure (Back Frame), 4130 dual mast and trailing link front steering. Unlike the tube-and-plate constructed trikes with their single mast, drag struts, side support cables and bungee cord suspension, the Navajo airframe will maintain its structural integrity for years to come. You can enjoy years of sturdy and confident flying knowing your trikes' rugged and well-designed suspension won't get worn out. The Scout XC Navajo can be ordered with a variety of options. The Scout XC Apache comes with a long list of features as Standard Equipment. The Airfoil Mast reduces drag, and improves tracking at higher speeds by reducing yaw and twist of the mast by the stronger, more aerodynamic mast profile. The Airfoil Mast shape also provides extra space for your passenger. The Steering Dampener provides adjustments to dampen the "shimmy" that may occur during landings and makes every flight safer. Finned Wheel Fairings also reduce drag and improve tracking, and look great too! Aircraft-grade Matco Brakes ensure firm control on the runway. The Aluminum Leaf Spring Suspension reduces drag with a slim profile, and is built from rugged and strong 7075 Aluminum. You can use the Adjustable Front Seat to conveniently change the position of the Front Seat, very handy for flight training. Browse the list of Standard Features below, and you will see why the Scout XC is regarded as an excellent aircraft for performance and safety for the price in light sport aviation. The Navajo streamlined instrument pod provides a large layout area of gauges and optional 12V DC power for your GPS. Here you also see the rugged yet keen design of the Navajo front fork wheel system. You will appreciate the solid yet responsive feel of its trailing link suspension. The front suspension works so well, it survived a full front wheel landing at 60 mph!


text: Dear Ones, I find much comfort in this story. Hannah is childless. Leaves her grief with the One who holds life in His Hands. And it's an interesting prayer in I Samuel 1:18 that she may find favor in the eyes of those over her. And that God may remember her. And she deals with what stirs within her. Her circumstance doesn't change; her heart does. And she is no longer downcast. No more! Two words that speak volumes to my story. No More! And then God reverses the story. It is never meant for us to reverse our circumstances. He is crucified today scores of years ago. No reversal of those circumstances. A Resurrection to new life. He is making something new out of you.

Our previous blog entry on Scholarly Publishing and Open Access in HE indicated that Harvard's move toward scholarly repositories was the beginning of a crack in the academic publishing realm. Nearly a year later, all of the schools and faculty at Boston University Faculty followed suit. Now, we are seeing alliances across Law schools and Law Libraries as well:
In a broad call to action, a group of the nations' law schools and law librarians have signed the Durham Statement on Open Access to Legal Scholarship.

"The White House is considering canceling a fall summit between President Barack Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, a move that would further aggravate the already tense relationship between the two leaders," the AP writes. "The White House is dangling that option over the Russians as Moscow considers a temporary asylum petition from Edward Snowden, the American accused of leaking information about classified U.S. intelligence programs. But officials have privately signaled that scrapping the bilateral talks would also be retaliation for other areas of disagreement with Russia, including its continued support for Syrian President Bashar Assad's attacks against civilians."
"President Barack Obama has encouraged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to stick with efforts to restart peace talks with Palestinians and is asking Netanyahu to continue working with Secretary of State John Kerry on that effort," the AP adds. "The White House says Obama and Netanyahu spoke by phone Thursday. In addition to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, they also discussed the crisis in Egypt, Syria's civil war and Iran's nuclear program."
USA Today: "In the days and weeks ahead, a critical deadline looms for implementation of the law, and the battle for public opinion is heating to a boil. As the Obama administration nears the Oct. 1 deadline to establish health care exchanges in all 50 states, the White House and Republicans are exchanging barbs and revving up outreach efforts to make their case to the public in the most highly partisan policy battle in the president's 4½ years in office."
A Treasury official told Congress Thursday that there are no further Obamacare delays coming.
Everything's America's fault… USA Today: "More than two weeks after Egypt's military unseated the country's first freely elected president, Washington refused to call the power grab a military coup, sparking criticism from supporters of Mohammed Morsi who believe they were robbed of their democratic right after voting for the now-ousted leader."
Obama's pick to head the EPA was confirmed Thursday.
Hey, what's a DUI, anyway when you raise $700,000? "President Obama nominated campaign fundraiser Timothy Broas on Thursday to be his next ambassador to the Netherlands, one year after the Washington lawyer withdrew himself from consideration for the same post following a DUI arrest," USA Today writes. "Broas, a defense attorney specializing in white-collar crime cases, raised at least $700,000 for the president's two presidential campaigns. He was nominated for the post last year and went through a confirmation hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee."
The Hill: "President Obama on Thursday launched a new effort to appoint a key campaign donor to a plum diplomatic post, a year after a drunk driving arrest forced the fundraiser to withdrew his name."
Jimmy Carter told the NBC Atlanta affiliate that the jury in the Zimmerman case made the "right decision."
National Journal: "More Top Obama Officials Have Graduate Degrees From Oxford Than Any Public University in the United States."
Michael Hirsh profiles Samantha Power: "The Taming of Samantha Power:
How a former icon of humanitarian intervention changed from a buzz saw into a bureaucrat." Power's tough statements on Syria at a hearing Wednesday "only served to remind people how quiet she's really been these last few years, a former firebrand who once passionately championed humanitarian intervention--and Obama as its savior--but who in reality hitched her wagon to perhaps the most conservative president on foreign policy since Dwight Eisenhower."

The place had its quirks, like the TV's on/off button was broken, the remote did not work, the VCR decided to break (yes I said VCR) and the spring on the coffee maker did not go down all the way so it flooded the counter with coffee - did I mind these little oddities - frankly no, it just seems to go along with an older Inn, the room was clean and the bed was comfy, but my favorite part was that the heat for the room was provided by the fireplace - you turned up the thermostat and on it came!
There was a nice little courtyard with a fireplace that our rooms opened onto and there was also a dining room where you could serve yourself breakfast. In the afternoon there was fresh baked cookies (chocolate chip with REAL BUTTER), wine and a nice variety of cheeses.
My favorite part of the grounds were the beautiful flowers. I like the color combinations, for instance the petite white flowers against the Burgundy.
The Pinks, Blues and Lavenders, gazing at this photo during this post made me think of how pleased Fairies would be dancing among these petals on a morning when they would be bejeweled by dew.
The yellows mixed with the various shades of purple are so peaceful, the sweet scent of the Allysum filling the air. Carmel's colors are softened by its weather, its the perfect backdrop for them. In my opinion Flowers are very photogenic - don't you think?
While on my trip I came across fabric stores! San Luis Obispo has a great fabric and craft store where I purchased the above fabric to create headbands for one of my friends. Lila seems to approve the my choices (she wasn't even in sight when I laid down the towel - 30 seconds later - there she is!!!)
On my trip to Solvang I discovered a quilt store and purchased a few fabrics - I'm not sure that I have all the fabric yet, but plan on starting a quilt for my Darling little Niece. I had the darnedest time trying to lay them down, Lila kept batting at each fabric square, so I quickly shot the photo (you can see her little paw taking another swat at them, but at least my fingers are out of the way this time). I do so hope it turns out as I let the cat out of the bag (I am a bit nervous about this - my first quilt).

Although unemployment rates are down, Americans still view the economy as fair to poor, according to a recent Pew Research Center survey. The United States' jobless rate fell to its lowest since 2008, just over 6% after holding at just under seven percent since December 2013, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) "Economy at a Glance." Compared to the national rate, California's unemployment rate has seen a greater decrease this year.
The U.S. BLS reports in its May 2, 2014 "Economic News Release" that April 2014 saw a slight decrease, the first movement in four months. The unemployment rate fell by .04 percentage points to 6.3 percent. A total of just under 10 million people were unemployed as of April 2014, and three and a half million were part of the long-term unemployed, those unemployed for more than 27 weeks.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that as of March 2014, California's unemployment rate was slightly over 8%, two whole percentage points higher than the country as a whole. This is down, however, from almost 9.5% in February 2013. There are currently a million-and-a-half unemployed residents in California. The BLS reports that California's fastest growing jobs sectors are in professional and business services and in construction, with manufacturing posting the largest decrease in jobs.
The unemployment insurance system is funded by state and federal employer payroll taxes on each employee's income. The funds go into state unemployment insurance programs as well as accounts for extended benefits.
States can set the tax rates for unemployment insurance and can either forward fund their accounts or use a lower pay-as-you-go approach. The first creates balances that build up for use during recessions and the second keeps balances minimal, leaving state unemployment programs at risk for running deficits during recessions. When this happens, states borrow from the federal government to meet their unemployment insurance responsibilities, and must pay back the borrowed amount with interest within two years, or the federal government raises the federal unemployment payroll tax on employers until the loan is repaid.
The Federal Unemployment Tax Act tax rate is 6% of taxable wages, or $42 per employee per year, unless states have unpaid debts from Federal funds borrowed to meet state unemployment insurance responsibilities. If debts are unpaid, then the Federal rate is effectively increased to repay the borrowed amount, using a credit reduction rate. The U.S. Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration reported that 13 states were subject to credit reductions for 2013. These range from 1.2% - 1.8%, raising FUTA taxes per employee ranging from $84 to $126. California's was $105.
When a terminated employee files for UI benefits, the state's unemployment office must determine if they are eligible for benefits. This is done with an investigation by gathering information and documentation from the person filing for benefits and the employer. Both must answer surveys and provide documentation such as dates of employment, reason for termination, and amount of compensation.
The main determining factors for eligibility are the amount of wages earned and paid during specific periods preceding unemployment and the reason for termination. Everyone laid off for economic reasons is eligible for unemployment compensation. Those fired for gross misconduct are not eligible. Misconduct is often a point of contention in unemployment compensation claims and employers must prove the misconduct occurred, such as proven illegal activity.
PAYDAY manages the FUTA Credit Reduction process for clients and works with the California EDD and other states to obtain accurate UI rates. In addition, services are available to assist with unemployment claims. Contact us today to learn more.
PAYDAY Workforce Solutions provides a single database SAAS solution for Human Capital Management (HCM) including payroll, human resources, time management, benefits administration and onboarding to companies of all sizes and in various industries.

Examining Southern Hemisphere Humpback Whale Migratory Routes from Foraging to Breeding Grounds
Southern hemisphere humpback whale populations spend a large portion of the year breeding in tropical waters and migrating between this region and their summer feeding grounds in the Antarctic. They travel great distances during their seasonal migration, the farthest migration of any mammal, with distances up to 11,706 miles recorded. Despite this impressive feat, minimal information is known about their migratory journeys. We have tagged numerous humpback whales with ARGOS satellite tags in the Antarctic feeding grounds over the past several years and have collected data on complete tracks from Antarctica to the western coast of South America. This is the first study to examine humpback whale migratory routes from foraging to breeding grounds, and one of the few to have a workable sample size. We will use this information to create a comprehensive overview of migratory behaviors and characteristics.

Oh, just perused real estate listings in areas that can never employ me. Daydreamed about fixing up old houses and living a happy peaceful life with magical money that appears when I need it. Or buying the perfect parcel of land someplace with fantastic geological formation, insanely low taxes and lower graduation rates, and building my dream house, where I will write and sew and raise my sheep for some purpose. Why do you ask?
It's been a while since I got sucked into an "If I could..." daydream. There have been so many, and they are all pretty similar. None are particularly realistic, since I'm pretty sure I'm a lifetime renter, but a girl can dream. I also plotted a course across North America, from the East coast to the West coast to the Arctic Circle. It's an 11000 mile journey by car. I really want to do it, but I have no idea when I would. It's on the Someday list now. For some reason, I'm feeling stuck, and a bit restless. Not sure why. I'm happy in my job, but realize that I can only be employed in this field in a handful of cities in this country, and a life in the hills in the country is not one I'll ever get to live. That doesn't stop me from considering it, on a quiet Sunday night.

I am in love. There's no denying it. To the friends I had before, I am trying to degrade it. "He is only 19", I tell them, "It's so uncomplicated". They nod, pretend they understand, and I smile: "He sees me as a Goddess. You don't get that in the average guy!" And then the girls smile knowingly. "You don't get that often", they agree. The thing is, he does see me as a Goddess, just as much as I see him as a God. And it is very uncomlicated. I love him. Period. But it's more than just love..
I feel like a wave washes over me, every time I think of him. It's either very hot, or very cold. Sometimes it feels like it's washing me away, and sometimes I am riding it towards my destination. How cruel the mere thought of being without him. When I close my eyes, I can almost feel his presence. Just beyond my reach, on the outskirts of my inner vision. I think he is there all the time. I have bonded my life to him, a life-bond. I can't breath, when I look into his eyes. It's like my life suddenly makes sense, that all the things I want to do is all of the sudden possible. I can do whatever I set my mind to. I can even dare dream again.
But now I am also afraid of loosing him. It's not something I consider often, but when the thought brushes me, I feel the fear grip me. And every time I say goodbye, and watch him go, I feel like I miss some part of myself, that I don't get back, till I see him again. When I am with him, I feel hole. I have never felt this way before, both intimidated and ready for life. It scares me, and I love it. I love him.
So to all of you out there, who find my life mildly interesting, know this: I love him with all of my being. I want to tell the whole world. I will not degrade it anymore, even if it is easier to avoid the questions. Even if he is only 19. Even if there's a lot of ifs'. I love him..

I loved photographing Rachel and Philips wedding and here is an amazing testimonial. Thank you so much xo
Hiring Janet to photograph our big day was one of our best wedding planning decisions. Her 20+ years of experience came through in everything she did. She had great suggestions for planning in advance to help make sure we'd get the photos we wanted. On the day she was fun to work with but also highly efficient. She was able to turn her creative vision into memorable photographs almost instantly, so our friends and family could spend their time with each other instead of holding a pose.
Just two days after we were married, we had a gorgeous online gallery composed of hundreds of photographs, beautifully selected and edited. Soon after, we had the complete set of digital files, which we continue to show off to our friends and family.
In this world where everyone seems to be a photographer, we found that investing in someone with experience and training made a world of difference. We can't recommend Janet highly enough.

Fun Family Outdoor Activities in Texas
For a larger-than-life vacation with your family, you simply need to head to Texas. In this land where everything is bigger, and bigger is most certainly better, there's plenty of opportunities to get outside and make some memories with your children.
At Forever Resorts, we believe that these are some of the best outdoor activities for families to enjoy in Texas:
Horseback Riding on a Ranch
There's nothing quite as rugged as riding horseback on the grounds of a Texas ranch. At Southfork Ranch, visitors can receive horseback riding lessons from qualified experts. This gives people of all ages an opportunity to try their hands at being a cowboy or cowgirl. In addition, the ranch offers trail rides for those who know how to ride a horse on their own. This is an incredible opportunity for those who want to experience what life in Texas is all about.
Exploring the Natural Bridge Caverns
The Natural Bridge Caverns are a network of caverns and passages in San Antonio. These formations developed over the course of thousands of years, and today, families can explore the caverns to learn more about geology in Texas. In addition to lantern tours of these winding passages, families also can go spelunking in the cave or go mining for gemstones. Given the dark and narrow conditions of the cave, this activity is recommended for families with children ages 5 and older.
Embarking on Overland Tours of Big Bend National Park
Just like the state of Texas itself, Big Bend National Park is gigantic. It's often too overwhelming for families to try and figure out how to see all of the attractions in this park on their own. Luckily, Big Bend Resort and Adventures offers a variety of overland tours that take visitors to every corner of the park. Consider booking the Santa Elena Loop Tour or the Glenn Springs Road Loop for your trip to Big Bend National Park.
Know that Forever Resorts can help enhance your next visit to Texas. In addition to our Texas properties, we also have a variety of excellent resorts, marinas and campgrounds around the country that are situated near the most breathtaking national parks. For more information on our properties, contact us today.

Princeton professor of American Studies Eddie Glaude accused President Trump of committing a terrorist act by announcing mass deportations of illegal aliens next week.
Glaude claimed that Trump was engaging in terrorism by announcing that ICE would begin deporting "millions" of illegal migrants to Mexico.
"What we need to do is to understand what is really motivating this…is cruelty. It's cruelty," he told MSNBC on Tuesday.
"What Donald Trump did yesterday, what he announced via Twitter — and this might sound hyperbolic to some folk — it was a terroristic act."
"Think about all of those mixed families, people who have parents, who have kids. We know that he can't really implement this."
Glaude then said the move was "just a political ploy" that will "terrorize" illegals who think they're going to be "snatched" up.
"This was just a political ploy. But what is he doing? He's terrorizing families in communities who think that they're going to be snatched from their kids, who have to walk around daily wondering whether an ICE Agent is going to show up at work and snatch them," Glaude said.
"He's announcing his campaign. Instead of calling people rapists, he's announcing his campaign by enacting terror on families who are often really close and productive members of communities around this country. It's horrifying."
