Using the National Mediation Board's traditional carrier control factors, the NLRB concluded that an employer's airport operations were controlled by air carriers and so were subject to the RLA, as opposed to the NLRA, and so were subject to NMB jurisdiction.
Finding that five of the six traditional carrier control factors established that an employer was controlled by air carriers, and that this finding was consistent with prior NMB precedent, a divided NLRB concluded that the employer's airport operations at LaGuardia Airport were subject to the RLA. Here, the Board agreed with the NMB's determination that the carriers exercised sufficient control over the employer's LaGuardia operations to establish RLA jurisdiction. Accordingly, the Board vacated a union's certification. Member McFerran filed a separate dissenting opinion (Primeflight Aviation Services, Inc., January 31, 2019).
On May 10, 2017, the union petitioned to represent a unit of the employer's employees at LaGuardia Airport (LGA). The employer argued that the petition should be dismissed, reasoning that it was controlled by common air carriers subject to the jurisdiction of the RLA, including American Airlines, Air Canada, and Southwest Airlines, among others, so that the Board lacked jurisdiction under Section 2(2) of the NLRA. For its part, the union contended that the employer was not directly or indirectly controlled by common air carriers.
After a hearing, a regional director issued a direction of election, asserting jurisdiction based on her finding that the common air carriers did not exercise meaningful control over the employer. In so finding, the regional director relied on cases that were criticized by the D.C. Circuit in ABM Onsite Services – West, Inc. v. NLRB . Thereafter, the employer filed a request for review.
The Board requested that the NMB study the record in this case in light of the D.C. Circuit's decision. On February 26, 2018, the NMB issued an advisory opinion in ABM Onsite, reaffirming its traditional six-factor carrier control test, and overruling those cases relied upon by the regional director. Consistent with Board policy, the Board gave substantial deference to NMB's opinion applying the traditional six-factor carrier control test. In light of the NMB's decision, the Board granted the employer's request for review of the regional director's direction of election.
Test of NMB jurisdiction. When an employer is not itself a carrier, the NMB applies a two-part test to determine whether it nonetheless has jurisdiction over that employer. First, the NMB considers whether the work the employer performs is traditionally performed by carrier employees. Second, the NMB determines whether the employer is directly or indirectly owned or controlled by, or under common control with, a carrier or carriers. Both parts of this test must be met for the NMB to assert jurisdiction.
In determining whether the second part of the test is satisfied, the NMB traditionally considers six factors: (1) the extent of the carrier's control over the manner in which the company conducts its business; (2) the carrier's access to the company's operations and records; (3) the carrier's role in personnel decisions; (4) the degree of the carrier's supervision of the company's employees; (5) whether the company employees are held out to the public as carrier employees; and (6) the extent of carrier control over employee training.
In 2013, the NMB began emphasizing the third of these six factors, carrier control over personnel decisions, and it issued a series of advisory opinions declining to assert jurisdiction where such evidence was lacking. The NLRB followed suit, in light of its policy to grant "substantial deference" to NMB advisory opinions. Thus, the Board asserted jurisdiction over cases where the NMB declined to do so. In addition, consistent with its longstanding practice, the Board asserted jurisdiction, without referral, in cases that were factually similar to cases in which the NMB had declined jurisdiction.
Application of carrier control test. Under the first factor of the carrier control test, the Board concluded that the record supported the NMB's determination that the carriers controlled the manner in which the employer conducted its business, supporting RLA jurisdiction. The employer adjusted its schedule based on carrier needs, so that carriers' schedules dictated the scheduling of its employees. The second factor also weighed in favor of RLA jurisdiction because the carriers required the employer to maintain records relating to training, service, and billing, and allowed the carriers to audit these records.
Further, because the carriers reserved the right to request that any of the employer's employees be removed from servicing the carrier due to misconduct, the carriers' role in personnel decisions supported a finding of RLA jurisdiction. Additionally, two other carrier control factors—control over employee training and whether the employees were held out to the public as carrier employees—favored RLA jurisdiction. Moreover, under its six-factor carrier control test, the NMB had previously found the employer's LaGuardia operations to be subject to the RLA.
Thus, the Board agreed with the NMB's determination that the carriers exercised sufficient control over the employer's LaGuardia operations to establish RLA jurisdiction. Accordingly, the Board vacated the union's certification.
Dissent. In a dissenting opinion, Member McFerran asserted her belief that the NMB adopted its current jurisdictional test without engaging in the reasoned decision-making required by the Administrative Procedure Act. It overruled the approach of its more recent line of "carrier control" cases in only a footnote and returned to the approach of what it called its traditional jurisdiction test without explaining why it chose one line of precedent rather than the other. Instead of deferring to the NMB jurisdictional determination, McFerran argued that the NLRB should refer this case back to the NMB again, so that agency could provide a sufficient explanation of its decision either to adopt the jurisdictional test applied here or to adhere to its prior test.

Your shopping cart is empty!
If you have had 'one of those days' well, actually, 'one of those years' and you have yet to take your beautiful boat out on to the water, do not fear, there is still time. Summer is not quite over and with any luck, the good weather will continue on for another few weeks at least.
Which means you still have time to get out there and make the most of it (admit it, you owe it to yourself!). But first, you need to make sure your precious vessel is ready to sail, and that means a thorough overall of all things nautical.
It won't take long and it will be worth it. Want to find out some top tips for getting your boat ready? Read on….
When did you last get the motor serviced?
The last thing you want to happen is you finally manage to set sail, you are out on the open water then all of a sudden, breakdown! The engine fails, and you are stranded, leading to costly recovery and repair. Not to mention the stress, the aggravation and the sheer disappointment of not reaching your destination or your holiday being cut short.
Getting the engine serviced first of all (just like you would with your car), means the parts last longer and should ensure you don't have any unwanted interruptions. Taking time over changing oil filters and greasing the gears will stand you in good stead and will certainly save you money in the long run.
No doubt if your boat has been stood over the winter months, there will be a build-up of mildew and signs of damp. By using marine specific cleaning products and a bit of hard work and effort, you should have your boat looking spotless again before too long. Pay attention to teak decks and to stainless steel fittings, apply extra protection where possible and look to touch up any faded or chipped paint and polish.
In addition, don't forget to apply antifouling products to the bottom of your boat. This is arguable the most crucial part of your boat maintenance and is worth investing in the best products you can afford. It also pays to remove as much of last year's product as possible and apply fresh every year to ensure the best protection and longevity of your boat.
For inside your boat, treat it as you would your home. Make sure the bathroom facilities are sanitized and spotlessly clean. Pay particular attention to the kitchen area and storage facilities and check any soft furnishings for salt marks or mould. Not only is this good hygiene, it will make your holiday experience much more enjoyable than if you set sail with last year's filth as your companion!
Now is the time to replace any interior fixtures and fittings that have seen better days, or even if you just want to update the look of your boat. Here at Fennel UK we stock a superb range of contemporary looking door handles designed and manufactured to combine luxury, style and comfortable handling, and suitable for internal boat design.
Our handles are sturdy, practical and yet offer a sleek, fashionable finish that would enhance even the most stylish catamarans, motorboats, cruisers, yachts, fishing boats, riverboats or canal boats.
Whilst you are giving your boat a thorough inspection, don't forget to check for any sign of pipes perishing, in particular gas pies which should only be replace by a qualified gas safety marine expert. Safety on board your boat is paramount and cutting corners could put you and your family in serious jeopardy.
Don't forget to check your electrics also. Interior and exterior lights, water pumps, refrigeration and auto-pilots are all essential to your enjoyment and your safety and keeping your boat fully operational is just good practice to adhere to.
The freshwater system will also need attention in order to prevent your boat from overheating. Check for leaks and blockages, test your thermostat and any corrosion to pipes or hoses. It's also worth considering changing your anti-freeze regularly and getting your heat exchanger cleaned.
If you have a sailing boat, now is the time to check for general wear and tear to all sails, the mast and the rigging on your boat.
Check all your sail attachments, all ropes, rivets and screws connections and don't forget to inspect pulleys and reefing gear.
Make sure everything is clean and well lubricated and there has been no damage to your boat's equipment over the winter months, and again repair and replace any necessary areas in need of attention in order to make your sailing experience a pleasurable one.
Hopefully by now we have given you some motivation to ditch your desk and become accustomed to your deck once more. Owning a boat is a lot of fun and can take you to loads of new places both here and abroad, depending on how far you are prepared to travel. It is important though to make sure your boat is suitable to set sail wherever you are planning to go and being a responsible boat owner means carrying out regular maintenance and equipment checks.
If you want to discuss how to maintain your boat, or if you are interested in any of our products you can contact us here or call us on 01282 871 806 where one of our experienced and friendly team are waiting to help you.
We look forward to hearing from you!

Chelsea Clinton is not getting much support to run for office from American voters, according to a new poll.
Only 27 percent of registered voters say they would support Clinton if she ran for political office, while 48 percent said they would rather not see her run, according to a Morning Consult/Politico poll.
The remaining quarter of voters said they had no opinion or were unsure.
Along party lines, Clinton, 37, did not have a lot of support from her own party, with only 48 percent of Democrats saying they would support her in a future run for office. An overwhelming 74 percent of Republicans said they would oppose her candidacy.
Clinton performed poorly in the polls among independents as well, with only 20 percent of independents supporting her and 48 percent opposing her.
Younger voters, women, and Democrats were more likely to support a possible Clinton run, while men, Republicans, and older voters were more likely not to support a potential Clinton candidacy.
Clinton's popularity is split, with 39 percent saying she is viewed favorably while 38 percent say she is not viewed in a favorable light.
Clinton has stoked a lot of speculation about her entrance into the political arena, with many in Democratic circles saying she should run for a House or Senate seat. Clinton has denied that this speculation is true while leaving the door open for a future run.
"I really am constantly surprised by the stories of me running for, fill in the blank—Congress, Senate, City Council, the presidency," Clinton told Variety in an interview. "I really find this all rather hysterical, because I've been asked this question a lot throughout my life, and the answer has never changed."
"I clearly do not support the president and certainly hope that he is defeated in the next election, but I don't think I'm the best person for that job," she added.

Local police officers participate in no-shave November, raise money for children
While some men might grow out their facial hair for the fun of No Shave November, take one look at Eric Brooks and you'll see that he...and his beard...mean business for the long term.
Things are getting hairy in Livingston County.
Starting Nov. 1, officers in the Brighton and Howell Police Department are giving up shaving to raise money for children in need of wigs and for those battling cancer.
Brighton Deputy Chief Craig Flood said all participating agreed to donate $50 to Wigs 4 Kids, an organization that gives custom wigs to children in need.
"When we discovered Wigs 4 Kids, with the mission to provide a wig for a kid that has been struck by tragedy we could not think of a better way to symbolize the addition of facial hair to officers than by providing monies to help give a kid a wig," Flood said.
Howell Police Chief George Basar said all those participating in Howell agreed to donate $50 to No-Shave.org, an organization that distributes money to groups such as the Prevent Cancer Foundation, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Fight Colorectal Cancer.
"The goal of the No-Shave November campaign is to grow awareness by embracing our hair – something that many cancer patients lose – and letting it grow wild and free," Basar said.
Howell police created a donation page where people can donate in the name of the Howell Police Department. The page is available on the Howell Police Department Facebook page as well as on their website at cityofhowell.org/police.
Any member of the community can donate to Wigs for Kids at www.wigs4kids.org.

Steven & Romy
Suikerbossie | Hout Bay
29 October 2019
Wow, it's been a long time since I've blogged…but what a nice wedding to start with. The first day of Spring reluctantly held onto the last of winter… Steven & Romy celebrated their wedding at Suikerbossie, with an outside ceremony to experience the beautiful view of Hout Bay. Both Steven and Romy have such beautiful temperaments, softspoken, gentle and kind… and when I said to Steven to hold Romy close during the couple shoot (it was freezing), he said it would be easy, they are both cuddlers ;)

The case of the thimble, a 5 gallon bucket and what any of this has to do with coffee roasting.
One of the most commonly misunderstood concepts is the heat required to roast a <insert LB's of coffee here> pound mass of coffee. While we have come up with the following guidelines, some people don't understand why we have arrived at those numbers. It's true the numbers are slightly arbitrary in the sense that we don't have measured science behind it, but they're also based on a significant amount of testing, and are designed to give you plenty of extra heat\speed in roasting if you need it.
I recall at one point one guy saying… "Hey, my grill is 28,000 BTU and I have no problem getting to 650F, so why can't I roast 8LB?" We in fact, recommend 45,000 BTU, so what's wrong with his claim?
See, BTU is a measurement of heat output, not necessarily temperature output. Let me provide the following analogy to best illustrate the point.
"A candle produces approximately 100 BTU\hour."
Imagine if you took a thimble, the little thing you use for sewing, placing it onto your finger. I use this as an example of a little tiny cup. Imagine if this cup were filled with water and placed over a common candle. Do you think this water in the thimble is capable of boiling?
What's interesting about this experiment is that you have an analogy that's easy for all of us to understand based on common everyday experience. I imagine in certain cases, the water might not boil, but I think most of us would agree the answer is "yes, the water in the thimble would boil". After all, we're talking about a very small amount of material that is heating up. This material, what we will call the "mass" is the thimble and the water.
"1 BTU is the amount of heat energy needed to raise 1LB of water by 1 degree Fahrenheit."
Now imagine if you take 5 gallons of water and you place it over the same candle in the previous thimble experiment, do you think the water would boil?
"Do you think a 5 gallon bucket of water would boil placed over a candle?"
Most of us would say "no" this water will not boil in a 5 gallon bucket. Why do you suppose this is true? In both cases the candle, which burns an average 2372-2552 °F is the same in both experiments? So what's happening here and what does it have to do with coffee roasting?
In the second experiment, the mass that we are heating up is the bucket and the 5 gallons of water. If the water heats up, it will heat up relatively little. What happens is that the entire mass (the bucket and the 5 gallons of water) is absorbing the relatively small amount of heat input from the candle, then what heat energy is absorbed dissipates into the environment before the water heats up to any appreciable degree. You can imagine an even more exaggerated experiment by trying to heat up a swimming pool with a candle.
So you see, as mass increases…. you need more and more heat input to be able to bring the mass to the desired temperature. How then does this translate when roasting coffee? Well, it's exactly the same. Instead of a thimble or a bucket, we have a drum. Instead of water we have beans that contain water. The larger the mass grows (2LB drum up to 12LB drums) the more heat input you have to have. The flame temperature might be the same, but the capacity to input heat increases. This is the BTU number. Think of this as 50 candles under the 5 gallon bucket of water, and now we might have something to talk about.
In a real life example, we tried to get an 8LB drum to roast 8 pounds in a 28,000 BTU grill. This grill, when empty had no problem heating up to 650-700F. But the moment you add a bunch of mass to the grill, (much like going to the 5 gallon bucket of water over the candle) that same grill with 8LB of coffee, struggled to get above 175F. You could roast 1-2LB in this scenario, but not 8LB.
We then later realized we needed to trap as much heat as possible and keep it in the grill. We used sheet metal to cap off every hole we could find in the grill. The result was that we barely achieved 600F by trapping every ounce of heat. The roast finished at 22 minutes, which is a pinch longer than our ideal. This could be considered a success, but this was literally with 100% gas on the burners. If one needed to go faster, the heat simply isn't there. At 45,000 BTU you'll have more than enough head room, even at 8LB to speed up the roast by increasing heat if you should need to.
This is a real life example of how BTU plays out when dealing with increased mass. The more mass you have (the larger your roast)..the more heat output (BTU) you need to finish the roast on time. Now this "on time" is key. In the above example of the 8LB roast, where we capped off all the holes, this was trapping enough heat to get the roast to finish on time. We could have left the vents uncovered andlost a bunch of heat, roasted at 350 for 45 minutes and finished the roast. The roast would have tasted terrible, but it would have finished. The trapping of the heat allows us to finish on time and speed up the whole reaction.
So in summary, More mass requires more BTU to get the coffee to finish with sufficiently short time. If you sacrifice any of these, the variables change and you can find greater degrees of success. For example, if you struggle with BTU, you can lower your mass…or lengthen your roast (not ideal), or you can supply more heat to compensate. Hopefully this sheds light on a complicated subject, which hopefully now makes a little more sense.

These characters have a presence, they have intent; they speak, they can make decisions.In my paintings and prints, animals are a vehicle to investigate what it means to be from two cultures, biracial. I am exploring an idea of inadequacy, an idea of not-Indian-enough. I have often portrayed animals in opposition to one another as a means of expressing the internal conflict that exists within someone like myself, navigating cultures.My tribe, the Ponca, were originally from northern Nebraska, and in 1876 were forcibly removed at gunpoint to Oklahoma. Throughout my work, themes of conflict and injury are evident. In some cases animals are missing horns, reflecting the feeling of missing a part of oneself, and the ambiguities that exist for a biracial person living today in the United States.Please log in or subscribe to continue reading.

For those of us in the know, the emperor has had no clothes for some years now, since well before NHSreality began 5y ago. What is evident to the profession is not yet evident to the politicians…. Since dead patients don't vote, there is no concern for them – yet. How about giving all citizens one posthumous vote…?
Chris Smyth reports in the Times 31st Jan 2018: Thousands die needlessly as NHS fails to boost cancer survival rate
Britain has failed to narrow a cancer survival gap behind the best in the world, according to a global study that suggests that thousands of lives are being lost to mediocre care.
Despite improvements in survival rates over the past 15 years, British patients still die of cancer earlier than those in other rich countries that are improving just as fast, according to data on 37 million patients in 71 countries.
As well as trailing the world leaders in Scandinavia, the US, Canada and Australia, for some cancers Britain is doing worse than Latin American countries such as Brazil and Costa Rica.
A shortage of doctors, technology and money still hold the NHS back while repeated reorganisations mean that the health service struggles to focus on sustained improvement, experts said.
When the international group of scientists first published comparative survival data a decade ago, ministers pledged to close the gap. Researchers estimated that about 10,000 patients a year died within five years of a diagnosis who would have lived if British survival rates had matched the best.
Updated figures show that in 2010-14 Britain had still not reached where other rich countries were in the early 2000s. For example, 60 per cent of patients survive five years after a bowel cancer diagnosis, up from 52 per cent in the 2000-04 period. Yet in Australia, where survival was 63.7 per cent 15 years ago, it has increased to 70.7 per cent.
Overall, Britain sits 17th in Europe for bowel cancer survival, unchanged from the early 2000s, and 30th in the world. For prostate cancer Britain is 16th in Europe and 26th in the world.
Michel Coleman from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, lead author of the study, said: "The UK is still underperforming compared with other countries. There has been an increase but it's still not enough to catch up. It's fair to say the UK has been improving but the UK isn't, as politicians have often suggested it should be, up among the best in Europe."
Breast cancer was the only area where Britain had closed some of the gap. However, Britain still sits 14th in Europe with 85.6 per cent survival, up from 79.8 per cent in 2000-4.
Professor Coleman added: "The UK needs to consider improving funding for health services and the number of specialists to treat cancer patients because by any published metric the UK is not doing well. It's not only doctors and health professionals but resources like radiotherapy machines are less available in this country."
He pointed to Denmark, which has closed the gap on other Scandinavian countries with a national cancer plan.
Lynda Thomas, chief executive of Macmillan Cancer Support, said: "Better cancer survival rates are achievable, but this requires wholesale improvement, from earlier diagnosis to access to the best treatments."
The Department of Health and Social Care said: "We know there is more to do, and NHS England is implementing the recommendations of the independent Cancer Taskforce to save a further 30,000 lives a year by 2020."
Bullying is a sign of desperation. It is caused by circumstances.. These will get worse… Dead patients don't vote…
Protest while you can – Dead patients don't vote. Rationing in action…
Dead people don't vote… End-of-life care 'deeply concerning'
The NHS and reckless election promises. How about posthumous voting?

It has been a long week full of reality checks, set backs, and also some good progress. I'll get you caught up particularly with regards to my Crohn's flare and what it means for IVF.
The last catch up was about the beginning of my flare and the onset of my illness.
Crohn's Flare Update
Last we spoke, I had just had my colonoscopy/endoscopy. To recap, we found some active inflammation and ulcers as a result of reflux. Friday was a semi-ok day–I really don't remember a ton of it, actually, which means it was neither good nor bad. I know I spent a decent amount of time in the bathroom, but mostly in the morning. Alex had clinic, so I was on my own. I picked up my steroid (Uceris) and I went to Strides to see my friends, but I didn't participate. Like I said, the day was ok. I got my Tarascas.
Saturday, barring a bit of a rough start that morning, I felt like I was making progress. We went to swim, I took a nap, we had family time. I was tired, but I was ok.
Sunday is when things fell apart. I spent the whole day exhausted and in and out of the bathroom (8x). We had brunch and did grocery shopping, but I was kind of just making it through. Seeing enough blood + my exhaustion + the amoutn of tiem I spent in the bathroom meant that Alex contacted my doctor (who happens to be his colleague, fortunately), and they decided that I needed to go on a more pervasive and harder core steroid–Prednisone.
The prednisone gave me back my ME. For 12 hours, I felt so much better. I had energy again, I didn't go to the bathroom. Thanks to Alex's urging and the new influx of health-feeling, I went to strides. I scaled the workout and took it easy, but I made it through and doing so gave me a lot of confidence back. Plus it felt good to be with friends and move my body. Even if I looked like death doing it, I no longer felt like death afterwards. We even went to the Nature Museum after so that Emmie could run around, and I finally was able to play with her and actually interact, rather than just letting Alex do everything. I made chili for Alex's lunches for the next few days. I made enchiladas from scratch for dinner.
And then, 12 hours after I had taken the steroid, my got reminded that I am not out of the woods. And the floor fell out from underneath me. Back to the bathroom. Here come the cramps (unlike many other flares, the cramps this time have been rather minor. Mostly I've been dealing with urgency).
Tuesday I headed down to the hospital early to have labs drawn before Remicade, I got my infusion, and then I saw my doctor. Originally, this appointment was supposed to be a Well Child visit of sorts. Not so much.
I am so fortunate with my doctor. Even when/if she wasn't working with Alex (she didn't work with him the first years we were here), I just think she is an excellent doctor. Add to the fact that she knows Alex and she knows as well our infertility journey and the fact that we were about to try for another, and she had to make some tough decisions. But the right decisions.
First off, we are increasing the dosage of my Remicade infusion and shortening the interval/# of weeks between infusions. That is a pretty standard reaction, especially due to the fact that I weigh more now than I did before I was pregnant and am now in a flare.
Next, we are going to do IV iron because I have iron deficient anemia. As the inflammation in my body goes down, I should become less anemic. The low level of iron in my body (I'm not in a bad bad way, but it is trending that way) and my tendency towards constipation plus all the nonsense and absorption issues that go along with flares = do IV iron so that you can still go to the bathroom and also actually absorb the iron.
We can expect me to be on the Prednisone for about 2 months, best case scenario. That is because you need to be "perfect" on each dosage before you go down, and the nature of prednisone is that you go down by 5 mg until you get to 20 mg and then 2.5 mg a weekish after that.
I hate prednisone. It makes me crazy, makes me gain weight, and I have really, really bad mental associations with it. But if it can get me back my life, I need it. I will have to be more careful, bones-wise, as this is another bone-tapping drug.
The biggest change, however, will be the return of Methotrexate to my drug regimen. You may or may not remember, but Methotrexate is a weekly injection that I used to give myself. Its job as an immunomodulator is to tell my immune system to chill out and allow Remicade to do its work without having to fight antibodies. It also helps my skin, which has never been the same since I went off of it 3 years ago.
IVF Update
The problem? You cannot be on Mtx and get pregnant. In fact, it is one of the original abortion drugs and a cancer treatment drug. I can expect to be on it a minimum of 6 months, best case scenario. Then I have to wait 3 months after stopping it, have a colonscopy, and then I can get the go ahead to start IVF.
So, at best, I will be able to start another egg retrieval cycle mid/end December. And that is if we anticipate everything and start treatment basically the day after my colonoscopy.
I left the appointment really, really bummed. I just hadn't thought or wanted to think or believe that I was that sick, or that I had that much potential to get more sick. The two months of prednisone sucks. I hate being on steroids. I don't care about giving myself a shot-I would be doing that around now if all had gone accoring to plan! But the 9 month minimum means that we will have 5 months to try to get pregnant (we have to before the end of Alex's fellowship).
But I have to be healthy in order to even think about getting pregnant. Thank goodness we weren't already in the middle of a retrieval cycle! I need to be healthy to be a good mommy, to have my best life. I was already lucky enough to have my little unicorn, and we started IVF on NYE and got pregnant with Emmie May 7, so miracles can happen in 5 months!
The process has been delayed, not aborted. At least that's what I keep telling myself.

Smart Local MP Uses Smart Meter to Save Energy
Local MP Tom Brake has been testing the new generation of electricity meters in his constituency office. Smart meters allow users to monitor and then reduce their energy consumption.
Last week, the Government announced that every home in Britain will be equipped with smart meters by the end of 2020.
Tom commented:
"I am very pleased with this smart meter. It allows me to keep a close eye on the energy consumption in my office. As a result of installing the meter, we have taken immediate action and switched off the office fridge! It was only used for milk, which we were buying every day. Switching if off has saved around £150 and has slashed our emissions.
"The meter helps to curb unnecessary electricity use and reduce my carbon emissions and energy bills.
"I welcome proposals to introduce smart meters in all homes. The smart meter is a great 2 in 1 device: you will save money and go green!
At the moment, smart meters are only provided to a small number of households as part of a Government trail. A final decision on the roll-out of the scheme is expected soon. For more information, contact your energy provider.

NTR, Sadaf, Jennifer, raghuvaran, Sudha, Varsha, Sunil, Srinivas Reddy, Venu Madhav, Nazar, Rajan P Dev, Prudhvi, Paruchuri Gopala Krishna, LB Sriram, MS Narayana, Rajeev Kanakala, Shakeela, PJ Sharma, Jenni, Rambha, Anand and Surya
StoryNagaraju (NTR) is a law student and the son of a bantroth (Raghuvaran) - the white dressed man who stands besides judge. Bantroth's ambition in life is to see his son Naaga as a truthful and noble lawyer serving the society. In that process, he spends lot of money on Naaga though he could not financially afford such a costly education.Chandra Sekhara Naidu (Nazar) is the CM of the state. The Home Minister (Rajan P Dev) is looking for an opportunity to destabilize CM. The HM has an illegitimate affair with a wonton woman under the guise of social worker called Mandaram (Shakeela). Mandaram has insatiable thirst for the power. She pressurizes HM to make her an MLA when an assembly position falls vacant. When CM refuses to give ticket to Mandaram, the HM join hands with an opposition leader Potti Kasaiah (Paruchuri Gopala Krishna) and launches Mandaram as an independent candidate. In one of such political rally campaigns, the goons happen to enter the house of Naaga due to some petty quarrel. In the process, they bruise Naaga's father and sister. In a fist of anger, Naaga beats those guys black and blue. Those guys file a case on Naaga for injuring them.Naaga impresses one and all in the court by saying how the political campaigns and street rallies are affecting the privacy and comfort of common citizens. He also suggests that the politicians should use electronic media for campaign instead of wasting money by trying to influence voters with unfair means. His argument becomes the talk of the town and the headlines in various newspapers. The CM also gets impressed with Naaga. All the students unions in AP join hands with Naaga to establish youth student organizations under one roof in the leadership of Naaga.Naaga campaigns for the ruling party candidate and contributes his part in the victory. An impressed CM appoints Naaga as the youth leader for his ruling party. The opposition party uses the current draught situation in the state as the weapon to destabilize government. As a reply to this, CM starts fast-unto-death for Central Government's intervention in this water issue. Due to some miscommunication, Naaga starts creating law and order problem to make sure that CM stops his fast-unto-death and rule the state again. Father of Naaga dies in the process. The rest of the story is all about how Naaga overcame all the hurdles and emerge unscathed as a winner.Artists PerfomanceNTR is made for NTR and hence all the frames and scenes in the film revolve around NTR. He did his best in dances and histrionics. His expressions in ferocious and pathos scenes are effortless. He is at home with his characterization and did full justice as an actor for his role. His dances are also pretty entertaining. However, the director created confusion in the characterization of NTR by infusing too much of aggression in seemingly an underplayed political film.Sada, who stole the hearts of youth with her village belle getup in Jayam, has disappointed the crowds with this film. Her role is very short and she did not suit the role well. Jennifer is just a prop in this film for a couple of songs and a couple of scenes. Her character is not at all useful for the story.Raghuvaran played the role of Bantroth and NTR's father. Raghuvaran, who is seen as a rich father or sophisticated villain so far has done a character of a middleclass, honest and poor father. His sophistication and body language does not suit for such humble middle class characters though he gave his best shot.Paruchuri Gopala Krishna character of Potti Kasaiah is a natural extension of his double-statement character in 'Prathidhvani'. He entertained crowds through his political satires. Nazar did a role of honest Chief Minister who encourages genuine talents and earnestly work for the people. Rajan P Dev characterization of Rajan P Dev is a big let down. Rajan, who donned powerful roles of ruthless villain in Kushi and Aadi did a sober kind of underplayed political leader. Hence there is no kick in his role.Shekeela is given an apt role in this film. She did justice to the role of a greedy woman with comical outlook. Sudha got a role where she can emote well. Sunil did the role of Naaga buddy and provided some entertainment in first half.Technical DepartmentsStory by Surya Movies is a serious one with no scope for entertainment. There are so many unrealistic points in this movie, which are very hard to conceive and believe. A better narration and interesting screenplay could have plugged these holes. Too much usage of violence and politics has taken the flavor of entertainment out of the film.Screenplay by AM Ratnam needs clarity. But he overplayed the character of NTR. He tried the pattern of Shankar's 'Oke Okkadu' for this film. But Shankar handled that film well by underplaying the character of Arjun most of the times and got the mass hero in Arjun out for a very few scenes where it was essential. In an attempt to write a screenplay that is fundamentally similar to that of 'Oke Okkadu', AM Ratnam ignored the underplay angle and tried to boost up the image of NTR in mass style from first frame to the last frame. Hence the mismatch of theme of the film and treatment of hero has made the screenplay look pretty mediocre in the first half and confused the crowds in the second half. DK Suresh direction is average. He failed to provide nativity touch and in few sentimental scenes we feel like we are watching a Tamil dubbed film.Paruchuri brothers have done some terrific work in terms of dialogues in this film. There are 6-7 powerful dialogues. The best dialogue is - Janaalu Kulam kosam chastaaru. Matham kosam chastaaru. Kaani Rashtram kosam chavadam lone vundi raajasam. NTR utters this dialogue with CM and then gives a typical Rajnikanth's style of wish followed by Rajni's Namaskar. Another Rajni'sh dialogue in this film is 'Nenu edi modalu pettanu. Kaani okkasaari modalu pettaaka daani antham choose varaku vadili pettanu'.Music by Deva and Vidya Sagar has mass orientation. The background music is OK. There is no smoothness in background music. Photography by Ravindra Babu is very good. But it's the editing and postproduction effects that make the photography glossier. Some times it appears like the reel is rotated at higher rpm so that frames come faster than the usual speed. AM Ratnam has done some terrific job as producer. There are lots of scenes that involve thousands of junior artists to be presented at location to create crowd effects. AM Ratnam has spent lot of money for this film as per the subject's demand.AnalysisAM Ratnam, who always preferred hero to be the part of the story has taken U turn and made this film by making the story a part of the hero. In an attempt to create a subject that caters to the masses, he gave too much preference to the unwanted violence and excessive stunts. There by he had nothing offer to the female audiences except for few sentimental scenes that have the scent of Tamil. A hero can only be as powerful as villain. If the hero is a mass hero, the director needs to create an equally powerful and dreadsome villain. If the hero is a strategic hero, the director needs to create such scenes where the tacit tactics of hero gets elevated (like those in Shankar films like Gentleman, Bharateeyudu and Oke Okkadu). By having a villain who looks absolutely weak and projecting a hero who is unbelievably heroic, the director could not balance the good and evil equation in the film. The first half of this film is decent and sensible to certain extent. But the story in second half meanders aimlessly and bores you to certain extent. The main asset of the film is NTR and one may watch this film once for NTR.

Yesterday afternoon, the 40-odd-member Phoenix Labs team held a Reddit AMA on Dauntless. Let's run down the highlights!
- There are no hard dates attached to the different phases of beta and no details on wipes are available yet. The devs aren't saying whether test progress will transfer to launch.
- Zero plans to come to Steam.
- Ranged weapons "and something else" are under construction. Phoenix wouldn't talk about more except to say hammers are "getting love."
- Damage and efficacy display, especially for combos, is something the devs are considering and seeking feedback on. Ditto hunting/gathering balance, flares, consumables, and weapon appearance evolution.
- A question about hardmode was met with a vague response.
- Housing and a replay feature are "possible in the future," but the devs made no promises.
- "We are definitely looking froward to supporting guilds and know they will be an integral part of the community. More details at a later date."
- Drop debugging, parties, UI improvements, and party matchmaking are all happening.
- The lack of minimap is intentional for atmospheric purposes. Don't expect one.
On the topic of rivalry with Monster Hunter Online:
"It's no secret that we're big Monster Hunter fans ourselves so it's great to see a new game coming. We're seeing a huge number of players from other genres and games crossing over — just goes to show: There's always room for good games!"
Finally, regarding the business model,
"We want to bring Dauntless to as many people as we can and to hold ourselves to a high standard for keeping the game vital and operational for years to come. And F2P is the best way to do that! […] We are firmly against pay to win and are not planning to allow the purchasing of materials. We are currently mainly focused on cosmetics."
