Sometimes your unlock may fail. For example, if you pay for an unlock service that only has an 80% chance of successful completion your unlock may fail. In that instance we will provide you with a full refund.
We will also refund you if we tell you that you're unlocked but the unlock isn't working. Generally, if this happens we will conduct a GSX check or unlock code check which can take up to 48 hours to complete.
If the results of the check show you are not unlocked, we will provide you with a full refund or offer to re-submit your IMEI to an alternative unlock server.
Sometimes a blocked or barred imei number is submitted that doesn't get picked up by our Checkmend check. Additionally you may choose the wrong network or phone model. If for any reason your unlock fails because the IMEI number is blocked or barred or you've purchased the wrong unlock for your phone model or network we may charge you a fee of £4.50.
This is to cover the expense of administering and processing your failed unlock. Please ensure your IMEI is not from a phone reported stolen or possibly barred.
It's important you understand that we do not unlock your phone ourselves. All unlocks are processed by a global unlock server. We have to pay to enter your IMEI into the global unlock server and only make a few pounds for each customer we find.
It's because of this we cannot offer you a refund before your IMEI is fully processed by the unlock server. If your unlock fails we automatically refund you.
Additionally, you may believe you are not unlocked when our GSX check indicates that you are. This may be due to you not following the final steps to complete your unlock. If this happens we will provide full support until the issue is resolved.
If you have purchased an unlock code in some instances we may ask you to provide video evidence that the unlock code does not work. This is because we will be unable to approach our supplier for a refund until they can see that the unlock code does not work.

Every now and then, I get a little bit tired or maybe my energy levels are low. So it's always a good thing to go and cheer yourself up and be inspired. I do this often by simply visiting the TED web site. There are some amazing, inspiring talks on there, and this is one of them.
I often think that as artists (photographers), we're the biggest stumbling block to our own creativity. We put limits up, barriers, walls. I can't do what I need to do, because I don't have the right camera, I can't do what I need to do, because I've got too much on. I can't do what I need to do, because I'm busy making up excuses about not being able to do what I need to do.....
I thought this presentation was amazing. Simply because they produced something and made something that seemed impossible - possible. He also helped a trapped - locked in Artist, express himself again.
I loved Mark's ending statement. He asks himself each day "If not now, then when?" and then follows it up by "If not me, then who?"

Dear Sewing Machine,
I really don't like having to write these letters to you. It make me very angry. You have served me well for over 5 years and probably even longer for someone else. But why, oh why, do you have to stop working properly when I'm in the middle of a project?!?! It really makes me feel like tossing you aside for a new, more equipped machine. And I just may have to. So, if you want to stick around, could you please magically start working again? Pretty please?
Your proud but upset owner,
So yeah, I think the timing is off on my machine. The question is, should I have it fixed, or should I buy a new machine. This is an older machine, probably from the 70s or 80s that my mom picked up at a garage sale for $20. It has worked great for me, but I think I'm ready to upgrade, and this may be just the excuse I need. Although I don't really have the money to fork over for a really expensive one (or one at all for that matter). Do you guys have any good machine suggestions??
On another note, I have updated some things to my etsy shop. There are a few Dopp Kits for Father's Day and today I'll be uploading some more left overs from my craft fair in April. You think it could have taken me long enough, right?

Update 3/17/13 - Animation Demo, Finale
So I didn't get to do some things I wanted to because I was short on time, but I did learn tons from this class and I'm going to keep on making JS stuff in the future! Check out the Animation Demo (a thing for work) I made using Transit.js. It doesn't work on IE, but looks good on Chrome.
Update 3/6/13 - Flip Card Game
Update 3/5/13 - Nyan Cat with jQuery Background
Update 2/24/13 - Ball Demo
Hello classmates,
I used to do something else for a living, but I'm in the midst of making a career change. I want to turn my hobby into a career and some day become an amazing front-end developer. With the help of the Interwebs, I've learned HTML and CSS, but like Jeff said, it's not rocket surgery. One technology I am lacking in is JavaScript, and I'm hoping this class will be my springboard to learning JS, jQuery, and AJAX.
I have a portfolio at victorhoang.com. It's one of those sites you might drop by and think, 'Hey, that's nice,' (Well, I hope you say that) but it's not memorable. My goal is to use JS to make my portfolio a bit interactive and more fun; I'm sure a nyan cat powered by JS will do the trick. When I apply for a front-end developer job, I want recruiters to remember my portfolio not as being sucky, but perhaps as being not too shabby.
Features I'd like to implement:
P.S. I made this little typographic banner just for this class/project. I hope you like it.

We were gifted a photo session as a present for our Chocolate Labrador and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute, as did Jess. Simon was great with Jess and made the whole photoshoot enjoyable for us all. Lots of natural shots and no posing....which Jess was most pleased about! The pictures are fantastic quality and really capture the 'true Jess'. Would highly recommend Simon....and to top it off the picture we received to frame is out of this world.

Having received a gift voucher for Christmas to have Simon take pics of our pup. We met Simon in the park and had an amazing fun hour while he took loads of pictures of Abby. Very patient and tried to capture her in a very natural way. He showed a few to us and they were fabulous and explained we would receive email of the pics so we could choose which we preferred. Felt so comfortable with Simon and nothing was too much trouble. In fact he just got on with it. Would highly recommend Simon is he is very relaxed in the way he works.

Who Was Harry Bridges?
Posted: 2.2.2004
A dress lapel pin of a retired lifetime ILWU member.
As president of the union, Harry Bridges speaks at the opening of a new ILWU chapter, Local #30, in the early 1960s.
ILWU members, wearing traditional longshoremen garb, take part in a Bay Area Labor Day parade, c. 1946.
Longshoremen in Hawaii load pallets of fresh pineapple onto ship bound for the mainland.
During ROADSHOW's summer 2003 visit to San Francisco, a local guest named Judith brought in an interesting print hoping to find out more about its value. As she told appraiser Todd Weyman, director of Prints and Drawings at Swann Auction Galleries in New York City, her husband had received the print as a gift from the artist in the early 1950s.
Judith's print represents the role of an important labor leader in the great San Francisco Strike of 1934
Judith explained to Todd what she already knew: The work was a color screen print created in limited edition from a larger mural painted by Anton Refrigier in the Rincon Annex, a renowned FDR-era post office building in San Francisco. Between 1946 and 1948, through a large commission by the federal government, the Russian-born Refrigier painted a series of 27 murals in the building's cavernous lobby, all depictions of the history of San Francisco. Judith's print represents the role of an important labor leader in the great San Francisco Strike of 1934 — a complex, and in many ways, disastrous event that would also become a turning point in the history of American labor relations.
But for many viewers, the fervent white-clad orator at the center of the image — a figure that Judith identified as Harry Bridges — may require further identification. Amid the vast constellation of American historical figures, Harry Bridges' name may not be one that comes readily to mind — at least outside San Francisco. Nevertheless, Bridges was a champion of workers' causes on an international scale, and his legacy as a progressive leader committed to democratic values makes him well worth a second look.
Building Longshore Solidarity
Born in 1901 in Melbourne, Australia, Harry Bridges left home at 15 to pursue a life at sea. Around 1920 his travels brought him to San Francisco, where his destiny was to unfold. Only 15 years later, by dint of his unshakable integrity, straight talk, and astute knack for organization, Bridges had become the leader of San Francisco's beleaguered dock workers, and helped give birth to the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU).
By the early 1930s, the port of San Francisco was arguably the busiest and most profitable in the world. But the longshoremen who made it all happen, loading and unloading countless tons of ships' cargo day after day, did so under harsh rules and daunting conditions. Pay was scant, yet the prevailing "shape-up" hiring system obliged longshoremen who wished to get and keep this dangerous work to pay kickbacks to their employers.
Bridges was instrumental in bringing this practice to an end. Professor David Olson, of the Harry Bridges Center for Labor Studies at the University of Washington, says Bridges' legacy as a pioneer in the 20th-century labor movement stems from two major reforms that did much to foster solidarity among West Coast longshoremen. First, he developed the concept of the worker-controlled hiring hall and negotiated its implementation with employers. Correcting the injustices of the shape-up system, the hiring hall became a means for the union to exert control at the source of labor, with the ILWU dispatching its longshoremen to the docks based on agreed-upon rules. Bridges' second landmark contribution was securing a coast-wide contract, whereby all dock workers from San Diego, California, to Bellingham, Washington, worked under a single agreement that regularized both wages and working conditions.
He Couldn't Be Bought
From the beginning it was Bridges' steadfast advocacy of honest democratic principles - rather than a bombastic style - that was the key to unity and collective progress for the longshoremen. In contrast with the traditional top-down hierarchy of leadership among most American trade unions, Bridges held tight to his belief that it was the members who should be in control of their union. Says Olson: "Everything the [ILWU] did had to be approved by the rank and file, so it was thoroughly democratic, which gained him the trust and respect of the membership."
Likewise, Bridges' innate sense of fairness propelled him down the path of racial integration decades sooner than most leaders. Calling discrimination "the weapon of the boss" — referring to the frequent practice of fomenting racial tension among workers in order to break strikes — Bridges declared that the ILWU must be a union completely free and open to membership by all, regardless of race, nationality, or belief. And so it became.
Bridges also understood the importance of approaching both the rostrum and the bargaining table with clean hands. On the East Coast, Olson says the longshore union was notorious for the corruptibility of its leadership, "but Bridges couldn't be bought. He was as clean as any trade union leader in the history of the country." In more than 40 years as leader of the ILWU, Bridges never took a salary higher than the highest paid member of his union.
Finally, Olson says, it's crucial to note that Bridges was an internationalist, the first union leader to strategize about labor issues on a global scale. He worked hard to build alliances with dock workers in Australia, France, Great Britain, Vietnam, and elsewhere, thus strengthening the leverage workers had everywhere. In 1967, when migrant farm laborers were organizing under the leadership of Cesar Chavez as the United Farm Workers, Bridges led the ILWU in a sympathetic boycott of grapes being shipped out of California's Central Valley. Because of the alliances he had fostered, the boycott was honored by unions all across Western Europe and Australia.
Art and Work
By the late 1940s, as FDR's Works Progress Administration (WPA) was paying a record commission to Refrigier for his Rincon building murals, the clouds of McCarthyism were gathering. Harry Bridges had already been an object of J. Edgar Hoover's unrelenting scrutiny for more than 10 years. The latest of several attempts — all ultimately unsuccessful — was underway to have him deported as an "undesirable alien" and a Communist.
But Olson points out that the WPA was then especially interested in documenting the lives of the working class, which the art world had historically all but ignored. Thus, WPA artists like Refrigier were attracted to Bridges and his longshore union because, as Olson puts it, the ILWU was "one of the most organized, articulate, forceful, racially integrated, internationally oriented, democratically controlled rank-and-file unions ... Art and work merged."
Faithful Traveler
The long road of the American labor movement, with all its break-downs and forward surges, has made for a bumpy, sometimes violent ride. The violence and chaos of the 1934 San Francisco strike — beginning with dock workers and quickly catching light across all sectors of San Francisco labor — wreaked havoc throughout the city. For many days it disrupted commerce and the rhythms of daily life. In the struggle's give and take between demonstrators and police, hundreds of people were injured and two strikers lost there lives. And it is only one very memorable stop along the way.
Yet at times, from such strife real progress has emerged. Under Bridges' leadership, the tumult of 1934 galvanized the West Coast longshoremen, and strengthened their resolve to build and maintain a union to safeguard workers' rights through openness, democracy, and fair play.
Harry Bridges died in 1990. Through a long career he had survived the temptations of power, not to mention attempts on his life and livelihood, plus much besides. Admirably, to the end, he also kept his eye on the road.
See the San Francisco, California (2004) page for a list of all appraisals from this city.

Competition Bench
If you are a serious bencher, then this piece of equipment will probably have your mouth watering... I know that was our reaction when it finally arrived. This beauty allows for ample spotting, comfortable setup, and adjustable bar height on your un-rack. The best part though? There is also nothing better than one solid piece of equipment that doesn't shift underneath you when you are benching.
Belt Squat Machine
Do you have issues with your back? Are you recovering from an injury? Maybe you're just looking for a machine that will help you to add some major volume to your training without the pressure on your shoulders and back. Either way, the Belt Squat will become a staple in your workouts once you experience the many benefits it offers. This machine is perfect for every type of lifter, beginner or experienced.
Double Half Rack
This rack offers a lot more versatility than most typical racks you will find at the gym. This piece of equipment houses two multipurpose pull up bars, band pegs at the top and bottom to allow for band assisted barbell work, and an overall compact look that doesn't compromise the ability to complete exercises other than squatting.
Words are just words, though. Coming and seeing it all in person will provide you with a true feel of the atmosphere that you'll experience at Elite Custom Fitness. The equipment is important (for sure), but the people and the family feel is indescribable. You can't put a price tag on it.
*All major pieces of equipment featured were purchased from Elitefts.

Week of Action against Fast Track for the TPP
Southern Oregon Jobs with Justice responds to another member organization, the Oregon Fair Trade Campaign, with the following Call to Action:
Congress is pushing legislation right now that would "Fast Track" the Trans-Pacific Partnership — a secretive agreement negotiated behind closed doors by government bureaucrats and more than 600 corporate lobbyists. It threatens everything you care about: democracy, jobs, the environment, and the Internet.
Beginning Saturday, November 8 there will be a concentrated effort nationwide to stop another trade deal larger and worse than NAFTA. Because Oregon Senator Ron Wyden, as chair of the Senate Finance Committee, will wield the most power in determining the fate of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), we have a special opportunity to be effective.
The TPP is a twelve-nation pact that, if approved, would set rules governing approximately 40% of the global economy-with a built-in mechanism for additional countries to join over time. It covers some 29 separate chapters, handcuffing communities' ability to make decisions on everything from financial services and intellectual property to the environment and food safety. Yet, the negotiations have taken place in secret, with only corporate and financial representatives invited to participate.
In addition to intensifying the race to the bottom for jobs and eroding labor, health, and environmental standards, the TPP, like NAFTA, gives corporations the right to sue to invalidate any law that stands in the way of its potential profits. For example, our ban on GMO crops in Jackson County would almost certainly face a costly legal challenge that probably will overturn it.
Southern Oregon Jobs with Justice is encouraging its members and supporters to jump on the trade justice bandwagon and join in on the nationwide efforts to defeat this devastating trade pact.
Contact U.S. Senator Ron Wyden about Fast Track/Trans-Pacific Partnership. Call Wyden's office and tell him that you are opposed to any more trade deals like NAFTA that erode environmental and labor protections, cost U.S. jobs, and allow corporations to nullify democratically-enacted laws. Also tell him that his support of Fast Track-ing ratification contradicts his heralded stance for transparency in trade negotiations. Wyden's contact information:
D.C. office telephone (202) 224-5244
Medford office telephone (541) 858-5122
On-line email form at http://www.wyden.senate.gov/contact
Contact your Congressional Representative: go to www.stopfasttrack.com and enter your phone number to receive instructions and a call back.
President Obama will be in Beijing November 10 and 11 for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit, then in Brisbane, Australia for the G-20 summit on November 15 and 16. His main goal is to promote completion of the TPP. Meanwhile, the lame duck session of Congress gets underway, with various Congressional leaders already calling for consideration of Fast Track legislation. Fast Track means that no amendments can be made to a trade pact when it goes to Congress for ratification, and debate is limited.
Obama and McConnell pledge cooperation, will Fast Track top their agenda?

NEW ALFA MITO CREATES WORK OF ART CAPTURED BY iPHONE 7
Alfa Romeo put their stylish three door supermini, which features a new look and more technology, to the test in a unique video to show how the new Alfa MiTo's urban style and strong personality puts fun back into drivers' hands.
To capture the new Alfa MiTo's dynamic spirit and driving capabilities when it comes to performance and agility, the Italian manufacturer placed the spirited supermini in the hands of a masked pro-driver to tackle a warehouse course of colourful powder and paint, and ultimately create an Alfa MiTo work of art.
In an industry first, the video was captured using the new dual camera feature on the water resistant new iPhone 7 Plus and compatible accessories.

When I download the game from Humble, I get a message saying the signature of Hegemony III Installer is corrupt or invalid. However, I was still able to install the game and play it without any problem. I just downloaded the update version and the message was the same. I have not installed it yet. Will having an invalid signature cause problems?
It's likely just a false warning from your browser and shouldn't affect the game (I know Internet explorer gives me that error when I download the test copy from humble).If you wish to verify the file signature you can right-click on the downloaded file and open the properties window. There should be a tab named 'Digital Signatures' that gives you more details on whether the signature is ok or not.

Unacceptable Workplace Conduct
The following behaviours are unacceptable in MESS and may be against the law. Staff (including Directors) or Members found to have engaged in such conduct might be counselled, warned or disciplined. Severe or repeated breaches can lead to formal discipline up to and including dismissal.
Discrimination, bullying, sexual harassment, and racial and religious vilification are unacceptable at MESS and are covered by Federal and State legislation:
- Equal Opportunity Act 2010 (Vic)
- Racial and Religious Tolerance Act 2001 (Vic)
- Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004 (Vic)
- Sex Discrimination Act 1984 (Cth)
- Racial Discrimination Act 1975 (Cth)
- Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Cth)
- Age Discrimination Act 2004 (Cth)
- Australian Human Rights Commission Act 1986 (Cth).
Discrimination is treating, or proposing to treat, someone unfavourably because of a personal characteristic protected by the law, such as sex, age, race or disability.
Discrimination can occur:
When a person or group is treated unfavourably because of a personal characteristic protected by law (see list below).
For example:
- A worker is harassed and humiliated because of their race.
- A worker is refused promotion because they are 'too old'.
When an unreasonable requirement, condition or practice is imposed that has, or is likely to have, the effect of disadvantaging people with a personal characteristic protected by law (see list below).
For example:
- Redundancy is decided based on people who have had a worker's compensation claim rather than on merit.
Protected personal characteristics in Victoria include:
- a disability, disease or injury, including work-related injury.
- parental status or status as a carer, for example because they are responsible for caring for children or other family members.
- race, colour, descent, nationality, ancestry or ethnic background.
- age, whether young or old, or because of age in general.
- sex.
- employment activity, for example because they ask questions or raise concerns about their rights or entitlements at work.
- industrial activity, including being a member of an industrial organisation like a trade union or taking part in industrial activity, or deciding not to join a union.
- physical features, such as height, weight, size, hair or birthmarks.
- religious belief or taking part in religious activity, or not holding a religious belief.
- pregnancy and breastfeeding.
- lawful sexual activity.
- sexual orientation or gender identity, including gay, lesbian, bisexual, transsexual, transgender, queer and heterosexual.
- marital status, whether married, divorced, unmarried or in a de facto relationship.
- political belief or political activity.
- an association with someone who has, or is assumed to have, one of these characteristics, such as being the parent of a child with a disability.
It is also against the law to treat someone unfavourably because you assume they have a personal characteristic or may have it at some time in the future.
A complaint about potentially discriminatory conduct can be made using the MESS Human Resources Policy and Procedure Manual under Grievance Policy.
If someone is being bullied because of a personal characteristic protected by equal opportunity law, it is a form of discrimination.
Bullying can take many forms, including jokes, teasing, nicknames, emails, pictures, text messages, social isolation or ignoring people, or unfair work practices.
Under the Equal Opportunity Act 2010, this behaviour does not have to be repeated to be discrimination – it may be a one-off event.
Behaviours that may constitute bullying include:
- sarcasm and other forms of demeaning language.
- threats, abuse or shouting.
- coercion.
- isolation.
- inappropriate blaming.
- ganging up.
- constant nonconstructive criticism.
- deliberately withholding information or equipment that a person needs to do their job or access their entitlements.
- unreasonable refusal of requests for leave, training or other workplace benefits.
Bullying is unacceptable at MESS and may also be against occupational health and safety law.
A complaint about bullying can be made using the using the MESS Human Resources Policy and Procedure Manual under Grievance Policy.
Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment is a specific and serious form of harassment. It is unwelcome sexual behaviour, which could be expected to make a person feel offended, humiliated or intimidated. Sexual harassment can be physical, spoken or written. It can include:
- comments about a person's private life or the way they look.
- sexually suggestive behaviour, such as leering or staring.
- brushing up against someone, touching, fondling or hugging.
- sexually suggestive comments or jokes.
- displaying offensive screen savers, photos, calendars or objects.
- repeated requests for contact outside of the workplace.
- requests for sex.
- sexually explicit emails, text messages or posts on social networking sites.
Just because someone does not object to inappropriate behaviour in the workplace at the time, it does not mean that they are consenting to the behaviour.
Sexual harassment is covered in the workplace when it happens at work, at work-related events, between people sharing the same workplace, or between colleagues outside of work.
All staff and Membershave the same rights and responsibilities in relation to sexual harassment.
A single incident is enough to constitute sexual harassment – it doesn't have to be repeated.
All incidents of sexual harassment, no matter how large or small or who is involved, require employers and managers to respond quickly and appropriately.
MESS recognises that comments and behaviour that do not offend one person can offend another. This policy requires management, staff and volunteers to respect other people's limits.
A complaint of sexual harassment can be made using the MESS Grievance Process outlined in the terms and conditions of Memebrship.
Pregnancy at work
MESS encourages employees to inform their Management of their pregnancy as soon as possible. However, we respect that an employee may not wish to advise us of her pregnancy earlier than the minimum notice period.
We also respect an employee's wishes regarding when it is appropriate to tell colleagues about the pregnancy.
See the MESS Human Resources Policy and Procedure Manual - Parental Leave Policy.
Harassment while pregnant
MESS is committed to ensuring the safety of pregnant employees and considers harassment, bullying and discrimination to be unacceptable behaviour.
Safety at work
MESS understands pregnancy to be a healthy and normal process and recognises that women have different experiences. When an employee notifies her Management that she is pregnant, the Management will ask the employee to let them know if they experience any changes to their work capacity during the pregnancy. The employee and her Management will then discuss what is needed to keep the employee safe at work and adjustments will be made accordingly where possible.
Options to reduce hours, change of duties, light duties, rotated tasks, provision of a chair and provision of additional breaks are common ways to ensure safety at work, and will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Transfer to a safe job
If it's not safe (due to illness, risks or hazards) for a pregnant employee who is entitled to parental leave to continue in her usual position, she can be transferred to a 'safe job' with no change to terms and conditions.
The employee needs to provide MESS with reasonable evidence that she is fit for work, but it would be inadvisable to continue in her present position. MESS may insist on a medical certificate.
If MESS can't transfer the employee to a safe job, she may take (or be required by MESS to take) paid 'no safe job' leave for the time stated in the medical certificate or until the pregnancy ends (either by giving birth or otherwise).
'No safe job' leave is not sick leave – it is a separate paid leave type (pregnancy - no safe job). This leave will be paid at the rate specified in the award or agreement which, at a minimum, can be no lower than the employee's base rate of pay for her ordinary hours of work. In the six weeks prior to the expected date of the birth of the child, an employer may ask an employee on safe job leave for medical certificates stating that she would be fit to perform a safe job, if one were available to her.
An employee may be required to take unpaid parental leave (instead of paid no safe job leave) if she does not provide a medical certificate within seven days or if she provides a medical certificate stating she is not fit for any work.
Working until the birth
A pregnant employee may work until the expected date of birth of her child. If she wishes to continue working in the last six weeks of her pregnancy she may be requested to provide a medical certificate within seven days confirming she is fit to work.
If the medical certificate indicates the employee is not fit for work, she may be required to start parental leave or take a period of unpaid leave as soon as practicable. See the MESS Human Resources Policy and Procedure Manual - Parental Leave Policy.
Return to work
If the employee has agreed to contact during leave, then towards the end of the leave period, the Management should confirm the employee's intention to return on the agreed date. The employee also may want to discuss any requests for flexible work arrangements at this time. See the MESS Human Resources Policy and Procedure Manual - Flexible Working Arrangement Policy on page 18.
An employee must provide four weeks notice if they want to extend their leave beyond the return date that was initially advised. See the MESS Human Resources Policy and Procedure Manual - Parental Leave Policy.
The employee on parental leave has the right to return to the job they held prior to going on leave, including any promotion. If that position no longer exists, the employee will be given whichever other available position is nearest in status and remuneration to the position they held prior to going on leave.
If an employee was placed in a safe work position prior to leave, the employee is entitled to return to the position they held immediately before the safe work position.
If the pre-parental leave position no longer exists, MESS will follow its redeployment and redundancy procedures to determine if a suitable alternative position is available.
Breastfeeding at work
MESS aims to understand and support mothers in the workplace, including accommodating breastfeeding as much as possible e.g. providing a private space.
An employee should discuss her needs with her Management and MESS will endeavour to make a private space available or other arrangements made by agreement. Depending on the employee's duties this may include cover while she is away from her work environment.
Racial and Religious Vilification
Vilification is behaviour that encourages others to hate, disrespect, or abuse a person or group of people because of their race or religion.
This includes spoken, written, online or physical behaviour towards a particular race or religious group that encourages others to ridicule them, be hateful or violent towards them, damage their property, or make false claims against them.
It is also against the law to give permission or help someone to vilify others, for example by publishing or distributing information about them.
Some behaviour may not be vilification, if it is reasonable and done in good faith, such as publishing a media report about racist behaviour. Some comments or jokes about a person's race or religion may not be vilification, but they could still be discriminatory if they happen in one of the eight areas of public life covered by the law, such as at work.
A complaint of racial and religious vilification can be made using the MESS Human Resources Policy and Procedure Manual under Grievance Policy.
Victimisation is subjecting or threatening to subject someone to a detriment because they have asserted their rights under equal opportunity law, made a complaint, helped someone else make a complaint, or refused to do something because it would be discrimination, sexual harassment or victimisation. Victimisation is against the law.
For example:
- A worker is refused a promotion and told that it is because their complaint of bullying last year showed that they are not a team player.
It is also victimisation to threaten someone (such as a witness) who may be involved in investigating an equal opportunity concern or complaint.
Victimisation is a very serious breach of this policy and is likely (depending on the severity and circumstances) to result in formal discipline against the perpetrator.
MESS has a zero tolerance approach to victimisation. Anyone who believes they have been victimised is required to immediately report the matter to a MESS Director.
Gossip about equal opportunity problems or complaints is unacceptable at MESS.
It is not appropriate for an employee to talk with other staff, members or stakeholders about any equal opportunity complaint, whether it is theirs or lodged by someone else.
Gossip is likely to reinforce a problem, create new problems (for example, victimisation) and make it harder to solve the original issue.
Staff with a problem, concern or complaint are encouraged to resolve it as quickly as possible according to methods outlined in the MESS Human Resources Policy and Procedure Manual under Grievance Policy.
Breaching the confidentiality of a formal complaint investigation or inappropriately disclosing personal information obtained in a professional role (for example, as a manager) is a serious breach of this policy and may lead to formal discipline.
Merit at MESS
All recruitment and job selection decisions at MESS will be based on merit – the skills and abilities of the candidate as measured against the inherent requirements of the position – regardless of personal characteristics.
It is unacceptable and may be against the law to ask job candidates questions, or to in any other way seek information, about their personal characteristics, unless this can be shown to be directly relevant to a genuine requirement of the position.
Wherever possible, at least one person on every staff selection panel should have had some formal training in equal opportunity.
Resolving Issues at MESS
MESS strongly encourages any staff member who believes they have been discriminated against, bullied or harassed, sexually harassed, vilified or victimised to take appropriate action. Please do not suffer in silence.
Staff who do not feel safe or confident to take such action may seek assistance from the Human Rights Commission enquiry line 1300 292 153 for advice and support or action their behalf.
Please refer to the MESS Terms and Conditions of Memebrship

text: When the set theory was axiomatized, the guiding principle was to keep as many properties of finite sets as possible also for infinite sets. Today, lacking methods to solve problems in complexity theory, we are, in a sense, doing the opposite: we make conjectures about finite structures using facts that are true about similar infinite structures. For example, our belief that P ≠ NP is mainly supported by the fact that recursively enumerable sets are not recursive. I will give some examples of such conjectures in complexity theory and mention some results that can be viewed as corroboration of their validity. These examples come from proof complexity – a field that studies complexity from the perspective of logic – but these conjectures can also be stated in purely computational terms. One of the conjectures is that there is no complete problem for a certain class of search problems.

Hydrocodone reliance stories and insights
It was first found in the 1920s, specialists didn't begin concentrating on the rate of hydrocodone oppression, overdose, and destruction including hydrocodone until the 1960s. From that point forward, different reports have been distributed.
Some essential hydrocodone mishandle insights are:
• Between 2006– 2010, hydrocodone was the most circled doctor prescribed quiet in the U.S.
• 82,500 crisis room conceded in 2011 were related to hydrocodone misuse
• Hydrocodone was a contributing segment in 431 going in Florida in 2013 in the midst of a six-month time traverse
• 4.8% of optional school seniors reviewed in 2014 said they used Vicodin, a well-known brand name medication of hydrocodone, in the earlier year
• Vicodin costs around $9 for 30 pills at the medication store, and for the most part $20 for one pill in the city
Hydrocodone has stood out as truly newsworthy amid that time as well-known individuals like Heath Ledger, Michael Jackson, and Brittany Murphy have been found dead in the wake of using the solution. Rocker Courtney Love was comprehensively caught and accused of illegal responsibility for and diverse painkillers.
"Associates" star Matthew Perry enrolled himself with recuperation for a hydrocodone subjugation in 1997. Getting trapped on the prescription connects past the style and marvelousness of Hollywood. Anyone can capitulate to hydrocodone reliance. While on the presidential combat zone for her better half, Sen. John McCain, Cindy McCain tended to the nation about her past hydrocodone oppression including Vicodin that started after two back surgeries.
Is hydrocodone addictive? indeed, the inspiring news is there are various decisions open to treat hydrocodone propensity among various addictions.

The holistic approach to health is multidimensional. It assumes that there is a complex connection between mind, body, and spirit. Advocates of "whole" health are concerned with enhancement of personal health and the prevention of illness before it can take hold. Yet when healing is needed, there are a wide range of therapies to consider, such as a combination of conventional and non-conventional medical treatments, or an altogether different healing tradition.
Each person has the potential of balance. The stress in our lives, years of poor nutrition, the lack of quiet time takes a toll on our well being. This balance is obtained by understanding your own personal "Energy". Your energy is made up of your body, mind, and essential energy or spirit. The three work together in harmony to bring happiness, peace, and ultimately, balance. However, if one of these three is out of sync, the entire person suffers. Holistic fitness is a journey to find your balance.
From the perspective of holistic health, fitness requires regular physical exercise, healthy, peaceful eating, good mental health, positive social-emotional experiences, and attention to our spiritual needs. When we are "fit", our body, mind, and spirit are in tune with one another.
Because it seems so simple, so straightforward, we have a tendency to overlook the amazing power of physical exercise in the overall formula for health and holistic fitness. A large body of research shows that physical activity has a profound influence on our health. There are many positive correlations between our level of activity and the health of our body and our mind. Physical activity is proven to increase bone density and decrease of the symptoms of arthritis, to lower risk of developing diabetes and several forms of cancer. It enhances cardio respiratory health and helps keep at bay depression and the onset of cognitive decline associated with aging.
It is imperative to include physical exercise in our quest for holistic fitness. We need to work on our physical fitness as part of our everyday program of health maintenance. Always begin with a low level of exercise and increase over time as your strength and endurance allows. Flowing, stretching and meditative styles of exercise such as Yoga and Tai Chiare most beneficial to our overall sense of wellness and long term health. But regular cardio such as bicycling, brisk walking,swimming or hiking is needed for cardio vascular, energy and bone health.
To maintain good health and to support the efficient functioning of your body systems, you need to make conscious food choices. Healthy "whole" foods will help keep your weight within acceptable limits and enhance the positive effects of exercise. Healthy nutrition is an essential component of holistic fitness. "Whole" foods restore your body's natural functions, healthy foods give you the clean fuel you need to live your potential.
Last, you must set aside some quiet, meditative time.
Start with 15 minutes each day. Lay on the floor on a mat or quilt in a comfortable position, your arms along your body, palms up, your mouth soft and breathe consciously in and out of your abdomen. Close your eyes, focus your mind on a peaceful image. Empty your mind and let your breath reach out into every inch of your body . This peaceful time is the glue that holds it all together.
Holistic fitness is a synergetic path to wellness that considers equally the essential components to make up a whole person , a healthy person that is physically, emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually well.

Microscopic colitis (MC) is a disease which is characterized by chronic diarrhea and an increase in the immune cells characteristic of inflammation in the colon, but an otherwise healthy looking colon based on a colonoscopy. Interestingly, it most often afflicts middle aged and elderly women, and is highly associated with smoking. Researchers in Sweden recently hypothesized that that MC was somehow related to the microbiome and designed an experiment to find out. The results of that study were published this week in the journal Gut.
The scientists sampled the microbiomes of 10 women suffering from MC and 7 healthy controls. They discovered that while the microbiomes in all the women were quite similar, there was one conspicuous difference. The women with MC had much lower levels of Akkermansia sp. (100x to 1000x lower). This genus is known to be important in healthy guts, where it breaks down the mucous lining of the gut. It is associated with thicker mucous, which is likely a healthy trait, as well as glucose metabolism.
While the number of patients was low, the connection between MC and Akkermansia sp. certainly deserves further investigation. Of course, these bacteria are only associated with the disease, and this study is in no way proof that the lack of this bug causes the disease. Diseases like colitis are very complex, and there are likely many factors involved, but studies like this are certainly a step in the right direction in showing an association with the microbiome.

Wow I didn't realize Donnelly was with the Bucs now. He's fallen a long way.
Perfect hit and run
Less pine tar on his glove.
I read somewhere that Guillen thought he had a file in his glove. If you watch the video from the event, you'll see that Donnelly makes it over to the 2nd baseman briefly before being inspected. Just enough time to hand off a file before the umpire could check him. Then there's his lying steroids comments. In all, a proven cheater.
Roger is on FIYAH
Just hit the ball in the outfield. That's all I want.
The best we can hope for from Wil is ONE out.
We have a RF.

She catches her breath and leans down to kiss him, tasting herself on him, he closes his eyes to accept her kiss, tender and soft, she holds his mouth to hers and speaks to him in the gentle never ending kiss. She smiles when she sees his cock, still hard and she strokes his face and brings his head to lay in her lap, and runs her fingers through his hair, petting him softly.
She wants to whisper sweet things to him, to whisper thank you, to whisper of tenderness, to whisper of her heart aching, to whisper how beautiful … Continue Reading

Doing more research is admirable, when that is one's overall approach to a topic. But when you find that you don't need to do further research before insulting whole ethic groups and religious bodies, but supposedly do need to do further research before insulting a very famous hate group that is without any doubt guilty of murder and terrorism, then that is not something admirable.
"I need to do more research" is a great way of life, but as an excuse for not having a moral compass or for not denouncing evil, it is sickening.

When to throw a painting to a drowning man is a single channel video designed specifically for the attendants of the Translational Medicine Course, which will be held in Syracuse, Sicily, in May 2011. The film celebrates the transcendent nature of creativity, examining its potential as a skill and a tool for problem solving, critical thinking, networking, and team-building. This film marks the second time I have collaborated with my friend, Anna van Suchtelen.
During the TM Course week, Anna and I will be on-site, exploring the city with cameras, microphones, notebooks and other registration and participation tools in an effort to compile narratives. Our process of working is socially engaged: each short narrative explores ideas of creativity, community, and collective authorship by encouraging participation. The film will be filled with short, thought-provoking narratives and personal growth exercises, which, together will form a sort of comical self-help book. An implicit outcome of the film is to highlight the false dilemma of considering art and science as binary opposites. More info found here.

John Lee, who is leading the convergence program, of which Project Bluephone
is a part, said: " We have selected the Norwood solution as one of a set of different
technologies that BT is trialling, as part of the research into the best
means of delivering an initial product."

Up:What am I doing? Drinking Mate! Down: In Uruguay, people drink mate even on the street or biking!!
Mate is as tea like beverage consumed mainly in Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and southern Brazil. It is brewed from the dried leaves and stemlets of the perennial tree Ilex paraguarensis ("yerba mate"). The name "mate" derives from the quechua word "mat�" that means cup or vessel used for drinking. The scientific name Ilex paraguarensis was given by the french naturalist and botanist Auguste de Saint Hilaire in 1822, the tree belongs to the family Aquifoliaceae and grows between the parallels 10� and 30� (South) in the Paran� and Paraguay rivers basins. It is a plant typical of the Alto Paran� region, Alto Uruguay region and the Argentine NE. It is a tropical or subtropical plant, needing high temperatures, high humidity and up to 1500 mm of annual rain. On average, 300,000 tons of mate are produced each year.
In the wild, the plant needs about 25 years to develop completely, reaching in that case a height of up to 15 meters. The leaves are alternated, cuneiform, elliptical or oval, with the border slightly serrated. It flowers between the months of october and december. The flowers are small, polygamous, dioicous, with calyx and corolla in a tetrameric disposition. The fruit resembles a pepper berry. Among several varieties, there are three that are the most important: "angustifolia", "longifolia" and "latifolia".
Mate has a characteristic mature flavor which is somewhat sweet, sour, withered leaf like, and cigarette-like, similar to that obtained from tea (Camellia sinensis)[Kawakami]. Of the 196 volatile chemical compounds found in yerba mate, 144 are also found in tea. The infusions of Ilex paraguarensis are less astringent than those made of tea.
How To Prepare Yerba Mate The gauchos (South American Cowboys) fill the mat� (gourd) up to 2/3rds full of loose yerba leaves. This is a very strong preparation for the North American palette, so we suggest you start with a 1/4th gourd full to begin with. After filling to taste with yerba, place your bombilla (silver filtering straw) into the leaves. Nestle it into place. Next - pour in hot, but never-boiled water and fill the gourd to the top. It is important never to stir, as this plugs the filtering tip. The water will cause the leaves to swell and the water at the top of the gourd will look frothy and green. This means it is full of nutrients. You can refill the gourd time and time again (5-6 times) until the green froth is gone which means the leaves are 'lavado', depleted, and it is time to start fresh. Many South Americans like a sweetened mat� and to do that you can add honey or sugar to your hot water. We have found that yerba in combination with other herbs makes for a great taste and enhanced health. You get the best nutritional value from the yerba by using the bombilla straw, for the act of pulling the water across the leaves extracts the nutrients far more than if you were to drink yerba mat� via a teabag or other methods of extraction. For those of you who prefer cold tea - try yerba mat� as a sun tea. It is delicious. Set loose tea in water out in the sun and let it steep in the rays for awhile. Sweeten and serve over ice. It is magnificent, and seems to surpass the hot tea in energy and happiness-giving!! Yerba Mat� is best when served in community with friends, introduced to new acquaintances, made with fresh spring water, outdoors, by campfire and offered in a ritual of love and friendship for each other and our natural world. Even alone, you may find that you reach a deeper connection to self and others as you cup the mat� in your hand and taste the magic of it as the day begins.

The SIB Stalker
(If you are interested in finding talent for your startup, sign up for the Startup Institute Student Talent Expose on 4/19/13)
It was November 28th, 2012 and I had just finished giving a presentation on my experiences as an entrepreneur at the Microsoft NERD Center. Two guys, mid-to-late twenties, walked up to introduce themselves. We hit it off and started chatting about their interest in the Boston startup scene. It turned out their part of some organization called the Startup Institute.
The next day I looked them up on LinkedIn, the devout habit of any effective networker, and started poking around the other 'students' that had listed Startup Institute as part of their profile. An hour goes by and I'd pretty much stalked every single person in the organization. I was entirely astounded at the quality of people that are part of this program.
After learning that one of the primary goals for SIB students is career placement within a startup company or young organization, I realized serendipity dropped an interesting opportunity in my lap. We at Growth Spark were just kicking off our own recruiting efforts with the New Year approaching. Without hesitation, I reached out to every student I could to setup a time to grab coffee. I instantly became the 'SIB Stalker' overnight.
Flash forward another week or two and I'm at Harvard I-Lab, pen and paper in hand, furiously taking notes while this talented group gave their one minute exposé pitches. 25+ conversations later, and I've replaced all of my December Christmas shopping plans with marathon coffee meetings at Voltage Cafe.
The holidays came and went, the New Year whipped by and we moved into a new office and brought on three AMAZING former SIB students as full-time members of Growth Spark. Lauren, Molly and Tina - participants in the marketing and product and design tracks respectively who not only doubled the size of our staff but doubled our capabilities as an organization.
Naturally there was the usual 'on-boarding process' on how 'we did things', but these three amazingly talented women came fully equipped with the understanding and experience of how an organization like Growth Spark would function. Things change daily, ideas flow continually and intense collaboration serves as the foundation of our work together. Given their complete adaptability to embrace of this environment, I can only assume SIB played a role in crafting Lauren, Molly and Tina as key players in our company!
How do I feel about Startup Institute going forward? Well, we're an official hiring partner as of the Spring session, have taught three courses across three different tracks and have already had over a dozen students through our offices during our weekly open office hours on Fridays. When it comes to SIB and the value it can create for companies, take it from the SIB Stalker - it's there!

In December 2008, Ross went on to start Growth Spark, a web strategy consultancy that helps ecommerce and B2B service companies grow their business online.

It's only the first day of December
It doesn't seem that Hereford United have already played 21 Conference games this season and so have reached the half-way point. After all its only the first day of December.
The Bulls have played every team in the league except Exeter and have completed their first double of the season by beating Farnborough twice.
So far the Bulls have found the net on 50 occasions, which gives them an average of 2.38 goals per game. That must be some sort of a record for a Conference side.
Other stats show that the Bulls are third in the 'cards' league with 29 yellows and 2 reds so far. Even better they have only been penalised for 208 fouls, the lowest in the Conference.
Steve Guinan is second top scorer with 14 Conference goals, three less than leader Giuliano Grazioli of Barnet.
The average attendance at Edgar Street to date is 3479 which is 51% over the reputed budget figure of 2300. Graham Turner will be pleased with that figure as it means that the income from the gates will be about £100,000 higher than predicted. Add to that extra sales of programmes and fresh advertising boards and the balance must look better than expected.
Chairman Graham Turner, however, will point out that he is having to pay the players higher bonuses and probably more importantly that there is no prospect of any more television income from the FA Cup this season. So at the half-way stage he may still feel reluctant to spend any more than really necessary.
Supporters still await last seasons final accounts which are likely to show a five figure profit. Much of that profit will have been spent simply paying bills that were outstanding.
Even at this stage it is difficult to be certain how high income from the turnstiles will be for the remainder of the campaign. For example gates from now on of 3000 might bring in an extra £50,000. There is also, hopefully, the probablity of income from play-off matches.
What the figures show is that there is the ability to take on a couple of extra players for the rest of the season without putting the club into a position where a loss is made this year.
