For decades, the vicinity around Bangalore's arterial MG Road was its entertainment lifeline as well. Then, in the 1980s, on these same thoroughfares was born the city's modern reputation as a pub town. It's these very streets where the season's revelry the other week hit a crescendo and then dived into a low note, leaving some stark realities, plenty of debate and much common sense which have all now distilled down to the question: "Why is a woman to blame always?"
We probably need to rewind this narrative a bit, back into the early 1970s, perhaps, to a time when there were fewer restaurants and bars on this high street. Old-timers recall that Kwality restaurant on Brigade Road would have a New Year's Eve ball and so would 3 Aces, a short walk round the corner on MG Road (both the establishments are now just memories). Round about midnight, people would stop by to have a look-see, taking in the season's cheer. "I don't remember it as a very big crowd," recounts Mohammed Hassan from behind counter of his steakhouse The Only Place, one of the few iconic restaurants that's still open today. "It never was a craze like this."
As musician Konarak Reddy puts it, lots of people on the street knew each other and they'd wish each other. It was largely polite and innocent, as some recall, and things, well, could also get a bit spirited as some others would reminisce. You would see a beer-bottle crashing down, or a minor dust-up in what was predominantly a male crowd on the streets, but none of it caught too much attention those days. In the years since Y2K turned Bangalore around, however, you'd get to see bigger, raucous crowds that many would generally avoid. And, of course, a bit of caning by the police, closer to pack-up time just after midnight.
What then led to those unruly scenes in Bangalore on New Year's eve when these narrow streets were packed with revellers and accounts emerged of women being molested, harassed and reduced to tears? Was it a policing problem? "Well, yes and no," says Kalpana Kannabiran, director of Hyderabad think-tank Council for Social Development. "I'm actually very shocked because it also is an indication of how low we've fallen, isn't it, in terms of dignity. Of course, it is a policing issue. For me, it's also a much deeper, ethical issue. Is it safer for women on the streets if we remove men from the streets is not the point."
A week later, the police in Bangalore have registered several FIRs based on newspaper write-ups and social-media posts of women being molested, but say they have not found evidence on CCTV cameras that could be of help in investigations. (A horrific molestation incident caught on camera in another locality was probed and a group of local boys arrested.) Neither are people approaching them with information. "Women don't complain because the first thing is they are not believed," says Dona Fernandes of Vimochana, one of the women's organisations that have been holding demonstrations and candlelight vigils in the past week. "Disbelief is the first thing that puts off women from complaining. Even now, they are being told molestation didn't happen. If it didn't, why were so many women on TV channels speaking live and telling us what happened?"
A January 12 David Guetta concert was called off at the eleventh hour; the Grammy-winning French DJ-songwriter was to begin his four-city India tour from Bangalore. The effects of New Year revelry this time seem to be cascading.
There's an unmistakable sense of frustration over repeated incidents of women being harassed on streets from across the country, and why nothing ever changes. "As a woman I can tell you, I'm willing to understand there are limitations to what reparations can actually be offered, but you aren't even moving a small step," says Kannabiran. "I hate it when people say why are women out because I want them to be out and I want them to be safe, right?"
Then there's the often-heard argument about a rapidly growing, multicultural urban sprawl coping with change—too fast, too soon. Just as you'd hear well-meaning advice about venturing into a crowd, whether it's street gathering or a festival procession. "Bangalore has had a problem of very rapid growth, but that is no excuse for hooliganism and ill-treating of women," says retired bureaucrat Chiranjiv Singh. He was posted in Paris in 1998, and remembers walking through the street celebrations on the night France won the football World Cup. "We walked from one end of Champs Elysees to the other, just taking in the festive atmosphere. Believe me, not once was my personal space violated in that crowd. No one bumped into anyone else. So why is it that when a crowd gathers here, we are unable to behave in a civilised manner?"
Part of the answer, as former police officer and writer Vibuti Narain Rai puts it, is that many 'Indias' exist together at the same time. "A large section has moved forward and a very large section has been left behind. So, that conflict is always going on," he says. Women have every right to wear what they want and move freely and the police naturally will have to take the blame for these situations because ultimately it is their job, he says. "You can think of Germany where a similar thing happened and it was obvious—a clash of two value systems."
R.K. Raghavan, former CBI director, in a recent comment piece, cited the arguments of Prof David Bayley's paper 'Complexities of 21st Century Policing' as being relevant for police in India. "For a variety of reasons, respect for law and the need for civilised behaviour in public have declined in most parts of the world, including the West," he told Outlook. "This is why police professionalism has had to redesign itself on the basis of a need for rigour and a sterner response to deviance. In current times, the police have to be necessarily harsh."
But, he also points out, the community expects too much from an under-equipped and under-resourced police. "When they fail—which is often—the police look for excuses and various alibis. This explains their criticism of women for their alleged lack of care in dress and circumspection," says Raghavan. "And to take the stance that police alone are responsible for protecting women is preposterous. The police have huge limitations in terms of manpower and equipment and this is why self-policing is of paramount importance."
However, the conversation we need to have, as Kannabiran reckons, is how non-negotiable it is for men to step back and to claim responsibility. "Willy nilly, what happened with the gender sensitisation programmes is that you had extremely well-intentioned people, but nothing on non-negotiability," she says. "How does this incident in Bangalore diminish the collective dignity of urban men living in Bangalore across ages? Are you even seeing it as a collective issue for which you are responsible, if you don't speak up?"

Intervention Facilities in Lexington Kentucky – Call (859) 412-2699 to Get Help Now!
Interventions are one of the best ways for getting addicts into a rehabilitation (rehab) treatment program. You are more than likely concerned about someone in your life, somebody you love, that may be considerably and frighteningly changed because of a drug or alcohol addiction. Addiction is horrifying for both the addict and the addict's friends and family. You might ask, "How can I lend a hand to my family member get well?" and "What is my role in helping my family member get help for this dependency?" Although you deeply care for your family member or family member, you might be fed up with saying no, upset with being used, upset with the individuals who feed off of the addict with codependent behavior. You can't be afraid of confrontation: fear can't prevent you from taking action.
What Is an Intervention?
An intervention is a counseling tool used to inspire a drug or alcohol addict to agree to rehab and treatment for their addiction. An intervention is directed and guided by way of an interventionist, and an intervention's participants include the addict, members of the family, friends, and loved ones of the addict. Typically, people start up an intervention because the addict is unresponsive to appeals, unwilling to participate in rehabilitation programs, or is in complete denial regarding their addiction. It is up to members of the family, friends, and the interventionist whether the addict has prior knowledge of an intervention. The goal of an intervention is to get the addict to comprehend the seriousness, or existence, of their addiction, and then appeal to them to seek treatment. Addiction Recovery Facility Lexington encourages family members and friends to begin an intervention for family members or loved ones who are hooked on drugs or alcohol. This can be the first step in the healthiest direction.
What Is the Difference Between Intervention and Treatment?
During an intervention, an addict's family and friends attempt to persuade the addict to go into a rehabilitation treatment facility (rehab), in order that they are able to receive treatment and fight addiction. The treatment facility is where the recovery process begins. An intervention is not treatment. Treatment is where the addict is educated about the illness of addiction, learns how they can control their addiction and behavior, and acquires the abilities needed to maintain sustained sobriety.
Who Is an Interventionist?
The perfect interventionist is in a position to direct and guide an intervention towards ultimate function getting the addict into rehab. Addiction Recovery Facility Lexington encourages family members and friends to seek a qualified, skilled interventionist in the event that they intend to stage an intervention. Attempting an intervention and not using a professional is dangerous, because family and friends are usually too involved with the situation to be unbiased. They'll have problems discussing their feelings, and the intervention runs the chance of backfiring. To prevent miscommunication, the interventionist asks participants to write a letter to, or make notes to be read out loud to the addict. These letters might include pleas to participate in rehab, emotional appeals, and even ultimatums about rehab and sobriety.
Interventionists are superb communicators, and have a clear understanding of the disease. Interventionists are frequently addicts in recovery, which permits them to convey a new perspective to the conversation. Interventionists are able to communicate efficiently among the addict and his or her friends and family. Intervention Centers in Lexington recommend experienced, qualified interventionists who're registered with the Association of Intervention Specialists and have references to speak with. To find an interventionist or to talk with somebody about interventions, call Addiction Recovery Facility Lexington at 859-412-2699. There are skilled counselors and specialists available 24 hours a day.
How and When to Act
With the resources and knowledge that they possess, Addiction Recovery Facility Lexington can assist setting up an intervention for a family member or loved one. It's only natural to feel uncertain about confronting a friend, and chances are you'll question whether intervention is the best choice, or if it is the ideal time. There is not any reason to delay if you are concerned for your friend's health and wellbeing. Keep in mind that addicts are living risky lives because of the people they hang around with, and the risky environments they visit looking for drugs or alcohol. Waiting too long to begin an intervention may result in reduced well-being, hospitalization, or even death. Addiction Recovery Facility Lexington encourages the friends and members of the family of addicts to initiate an intervention once the problem becomes apparent. To talk with somebody regarding interventions, call Interventions Lexington, Kentucky at 859-412-2699 now!

The latest consumer credit number are out and the decline we have seen in recent months continues. The US consumer credit contracted to $2415,3 billion in May, from $2424,4 billion in April. That's another (almost) 10 billion decline, or 4,5% annualized. But how in hell can the US authorities miscalculate monthly credit numbers by $16 billion?
"Yet stocks, which confirm again they are now completely decoupled from facts, statistics, or reality in general, jump on this very negative development."
Zero Hedge
Consumer Credit in the US plunged from $2424.4 billion in April to $2415.3 billion in May, a $9.1 billion decline, or 4.5% annualized, on consensus of $2.3 billion. Yet the biggest stunner was the April revision which was whacked from +$1 billion to a revised; -$14.9 billion!
That means there has been a $24 billion decline in consumer credit in the past two months.
The biggest hit was – as usual – experienced by revolving credit accounts, which fell by a 10.5 annualized rate to $830.8 billion, from $838.2 billion in April, and just north of $910 billion a year earlier.
The bottom line is that consumers continue to retrench as the deflationary wave gets ever bigger.
And the only lender, for the second month running is….. guess who?
The Econotwist's Blog have a really hard time understanding how the US authorities can miscalculate the monthly numbers by nearly $16 billion. Have they acquired some old modeling software from Lehman or Bear Stearns, or something?
The expression "elephant in the room" just doesn't cover it.
And I won't make any attempt to come up with an explanation – or even a comment.
I'll leave the comment to Tyler Durden at Zero Hedge:
"Yet stocks, which confirm again they are now completely decoupled from facts, statistics, or reality in general, jump on this very negative development."
What's wrong with you people? Will you please take your plastic out for a real treat!

Why I need to write
Recently, I saw a friend using Mathematica for his linear algebra course. He said that since so many people who have licenses this year are graduating next year, I would be able to obtain a license next year, too. We both knew that Mathematica was expensive. I immediately remembered reading about Jupyter. For some reason, I thought about doing some research and writing a comparison in the context of technology in education.
I see mental health problems in my own life and that of my peers. I've written about how Facebook was harmful to me, but I feel that my writing did not do my experience justice. Sometimes I consider documenting my victories and failures in a way that others might benefit.
I'm interested in history because it is necessary for understanding present humanity and making decisions about the future. Reading about history is usually fun. The idea of actively participating in history through writing is alluring and somewhat glorious. Yet, writing a ten-page history paper sounds impossible to me, and the initial vision and excitement succumbs to fear and procrastination. The paper is due in less than a week, and I have nothing more than a short collection of facts and other historians' assertions.
I am a dreamer and thinker, more so than a doer. I spend more time resting and thinking about what could happen than making those things happen. I hope I could act on my ideas to improve the world or write ideas that are interesting and helpful to others.
I used to dream about creating a good technology company. No, engineering gets messy too quickly—actually, immediately; I dream to be a scientist that discovers something revolutionary. Of course, the chance of that happening is very small. (I want to dream big dreams while I can.) In tune with fantastical dreams, on rare occasion, dreams of being a writer seep like bubbles from the depths of my mind. Dreams of living alone in nature like Thoreau, doing nothing but working for sustenance and writing.
As someone whose academic weakness is in writing, I am writing this to remind and motivate myself to press harder into my weakness in the hopes that I will get better.

together, and, whatever the intention, many shot found their way to the British hulls. Nevertheless, as the returns show, the number of men hit among the French was to the British nearly as 7 to 5. On the other hand, it is certain that the manoeuvring power of the French after the action was greater than that of the British. Both sides claimed the advantage. This was simply a point of honour, or of credit, for material advantage accrued to neither. Keppel had succeeded in forcing d'Orvilliers to action against his will; d'Orvilliers, by a well-judged evolution, had retained a superiority of manoeuvring power after the engagement. Had his next signal been promptly obeyed, he might have passed again by the British fleet, in fairly good order, before it re-formed, and concentrated his fire on the more leewardly of its vessels. Even under the delay, it was distinctly in his power to renew the fight; and that he did not do so forfeits all claim to victory. Not to speak of the better condition of the French ships, Keppel, by running off the wind, had given his opponent full opportunity to reach his fleet and to attack. Instead of so doing, d'Orvilliers drew up under the British lee, out of range, and offered battle; a gallant defiance, but to a crippled foe. Time was thus given to the British to refit their ships sufficiently to bear down again. This the French admiral should not have permitted. He should have attacked promptly, or else have retreated; to windward, or to leeward, as seemed most expedient. Under the conditions, it was not good generalship to give the enemy time, and to await his pleasure. Keppel, on the other hand, being granted this chance, should have renewed the fight; and here arose the controversy which set all England by the ears, and may be said to have immortalised this otherwise trivial incident. Palliser's division was to windward from 4 to 7 P.M., while the signals were flying to form line of battle, and to bear down in the Admiral's wake; and Keppel alleged that, had these been obeyed by 6 P.M., he would have renewed the battle, having still over two hours of daylight. It has been stated already that, besides the signals, a frigate brought Palliser word that the Admiral was waiting only for him. The immediate dispute is of slight present interest, except as an historical link in the fighting development of the British Navy; and only this historical significance justifies more than a passing mention. In 1778 men's minds were still full of Byng's execution in 1757, and of the Mathews and Lestock affair in 1744, which had materially influenced Byng in his action off Minorca. Keppel repeatedly spoke of himself as on trial for his life; and he had been a member of Byng's court-martial. The gist of the charges against him, preferred by Palliser, was that he attacked in the first instance without properly forming his line, for which Mathews had been censured; and, secondly, that by not renewing the action after the first pass-by, and by wearing away from the French fleet, he had not done his utmost to "take, sink, burn, and destroy." This had been the charge on which Byng was shot. Keppel, besides his justifying reasons for his course in general, alleged and proved his full intention to attack again, had not Palliser failed to come into line, a delinquency the same as that of Lestock, which contributed to Mathew's ruin. In other words, men's minds were breaking away from, but had not thrown off completely, the tyranny of the Order of Battle, – one of the worst of tyrannies, because founded on truth. Absolute error, like a whole lie, is open to speedy detection; half-truths are troublesome. The Order of Battle' was an admirable servant and a most objectionable despot. Mathews, in despair over a recalcitrant second, cast off the yoke, engaged with part of his force, was ill supported and censured; Lestock escaping. Byng, considering this, and being a pedant by nature, would not break his line; the enemy slipped away, Minorca surrendered, and he was shot. In Keppel's court-martial, twenty-eight out of the thirty captains who had been in the line were summoned as witnesses. Most of them swore that if Keppel had chased in line of battle that day, there could have been no action, and the majority of them cordially approved his course; but there was evidently an undercurrent still of dissent, and especially in the rear ships, where there had been some of the straggling inevitable in such movements. Their commanders therefore had uncomfortable experience of the lack of mutual support, which the line of battle was meant to insure. Another indication of still surviving pedantry was the obligation felt in the rear ships to take post about their own admiral, and to remain there when the signals for the line of battle, and to bear down in the admiral's wake, were flying. Thus Palliser's own inaction, to whatever cause due, paralysed the six or eight sail with him; but it appears to the writer that Keppel was seriously remiss in not summoning those ships by their own pennants, as soon as he began to distrust the purposes of the Vice-Admiral, instead of delaying doing so till 7 P.M., as he did. It is a curious picture presented to us by the evidence. The Commander-in-Chief, with his staff and the captain of the ship, fretting and fuming on the ship next ahead. This made the leading vessel the pivot of the order and of manoeuvring, unless specially otherwise directed; which in an emergency could not always be easily done. Strictly, if circumstances favoured, the line on which the ships thus formed was one of the two close-hauled lines; "close-hauled" meaning to bring the vessel's head as "near" the direction of the wind as possible, usually to about 70 degrees. The advantage of the close-hauled Victory's quarter-deck; the signals flying which have been mentioned; Harland's division getting into line ahead; and four points on the weather quarter, only two miles distant, so that "every gun and port could be counted," a group of seven or eight sail, among them the flag of the third in command, apparently indifferent spectators. The Formidable's only sign of disability was the foretopsail unbent for four hours, – a delay which, being unexplained, rather increased than relieved suspicion, rife then throughout the Navy. Palliser was a Tory, and had left the Board of Admiralty to take his command. Keppel was so strong a Whig that he would not serve against the Americans; and he evidently feared that he was to be betrayed to his ruin. Palliser's defence rested upon three principal points: (1), that the signal for the line of battle was not seen on board the Formidable; (2), that the signal to get into the Admiral's wake was repeated by himself; (3), that his foremast was wounded, and, moreover, found to be in such bad condition that he feared to carry sail on it. As regards the first, the signal was seen on board the Ocean, next astern of and "not far from" the Formidable; for the second, the Admiral should have been informed of a disability by which a single ship was neutralizing a division. The frigate that brought Keppel's message could have carried back this. Thirdly, the most damaging feature to Palliser's case was that he asserted that, after coming out from under fire, he wore at once towards the enemy; afterwards he wore back again. A ship that thus wore twice before three o'clock, might have displayed zeal and efficiency enough to run two miles, off the wind," at five, to support a fight. Deliberate treachery is impossible. To this writer the Vice-Admiral's behaviour seems that of a man in a sulk, who will do only that which he can find no excuses for neglecting. In such cases of Sailing close, men generally slip over the line into grievous wrong.
* The Order of Battle was constituted by the ships "of the line" ranging themselves one behind the other in a prescribed succession; the position of each and the intervals between being taken from the line was that the vessels were more manageable than when "off" the wind.
* Evidence of Captain John Laforey, of the Ocean.
* "I do not recollect how many points I went from the wind; I must have bore down a pretty large course." Testimony of Captain J. Laforey, of the Ocean, on this point.
Keppel was cleared of all the charges preferred against him; the accuser had not thought best to embody among them the delay to recall the ships which his own example was detaining. Against Palliser no specific charge was preferred, but the Admiralty directed a general inquiry into his course on the 27th of July. The court found his conduct "in many instances highly exemplary and meritorious," – he had fought well, - "but reprehensible in not having acquainted the Commander-in-Chief of his distress, which he might have done either by the For, or other means which he had in his power." Public opinion running strongly for Keppel, his acquittal was celebrated with bonfires and illuminations in London; the mob got drunk, smashed the windows of Palliser's friends, wrecked Palliser's own house, and came near to killing Palliser himself. The Admiralty, in 1780, made him Governor of Greenwich Hospital.
On the 28th of July, the British and French being no longer in sight of each other, Keppel, considering his fleet too injured aloft to cruise near the French coast, kept away for Plymouth, where he arrived on the 31st. Before putting to sea again, he provided against a recurrence of the misdemeanor of the 27th by a general order, that "in future the Line is always to be taken from the Centre." Had this been in force before, Palliser's captains would have taken station by the Commander-in-Chief, and the Formidable would have been left to windward by herself. At the same time Howe was closing his squadron upon the centre in America; and Rodney, two years later, experienced the ill-effects of distance taken from the next ahead, when the leading ship of a fleet disregarded an order.


text: The brother of Barnstaple stabbing victim Lee Turner has spoken of the shock and horror of his death. On Wednesday (January 9) a jury found paranoid schizophrenic Kevin Gale responsible for killing Mr Turner in Tesco Extra car park on August 3 last year. Devon Partnership NHS Trust announced after the verdict it had commissioned an independent investigation into the incident. Kevin Gale stopped taking his medication for months before he stabbed Lee Turner to death. Clyne Hamilton-Daniels, Lees brother, said in a statement issued by police: I welcome todays verdict of the unlawful killing of my brother Lee. Taken in such a brutal, cold and gruesome way, that will never leave us as a family. The shock and horror of his death was all too much for our mother Penny who sadly passed away just weeks after Lees death. She couldnt believe what had happened to her son. Lees last words of Why me, what have I done? will echo with us forever. I speak for her when I say that he will be deeply missed by all who knew him and he will never be forgotten. He was one of a kind. More must be done to ensure that people with severe mental health issues do not fall through the cracks and arent allowed to walk the streets carrying deadly weapons. Devastatingly, Lee was in the wrong place at the wrong time. If there had been more care and attention given, I would not be saying this to you now. By no means does that mean I condone what has happened to Lee; this could have been avoided. Thank you. A spokesman for Devon Partnership NHS Trust said: This is an extremely sad case and our thoughts are with the family of the deceased. We have commissioned an independent investigation into the incident and we will ensure that we embed any learning from this full and thorough review. Detective Inspector Lee Nattrass from the Major Crime Investigation Team, released a statement after the hearing. DI Nattrass said: Todays finding that Kevin Gale was responsible for killing Lee Turner will hopefully bring some understanding of the events that took place on the evening of Friday August 3, 2018. We may never know what the trigger for Mr Gale to attack Mr Turner was, but his poor mental health is clearly a strong factor. We also recognise that this incident has impacted on the lives of many people, none more than Mr Turners family who can hopefully find some peace in the coming months and years as they try to come to terms with what has happened. There were a number of people who gave first aid to Lee Turner following the incident and supported the emergency services in his immediate care. I would like to personally thank them on behalf of the family and commend them for the way that they dealt with a distressing situation with true compassion. I would also like to thank the public both to their response to this investigation, and their assistance following the media appeal. The scenario of this finding of facts is uncommon and I would like to clarify His Honour Judge Johnson has placed a restriction order on Kevin Gale. This means that should he be deemed fit at a future date he will not be released from hospital without first appearing before the Crown Court. At this stage Crown Prosecution Service will decide whether to proceed to traditional criminal trial proceedings. Read the report from todays proceedings here.

Once you've decided to invest in an electric gate from The UK Electric Gate Company, it's time to make some big choices: material, design, and automation.
We have tips for deciding the first two on our website, just visit 'Guide To Buying a Gate' and 'What Material Should I Use For My Gate?'. Now it's time to discuss automation – at The UK Electric Gate Company we offer automated and manual gates. When we talk about manual gates, we're referring to completely unautomated gates, which you open and close by hand, and electric gates which do not open by themselves, such as those without sensors that require keypad access. We've picked out the key advantages for each type to help you decide:
There's nothing as grand as being greeted by automatic electric gates, opening up to reveal your stunning property behind them. There's a sense of impressiveness about big gates opening by themselves as your guests drive up to the sensors located out of sight underground. To really make an impact on your visitors, we think automated gates are the best choice.
Winner: Automatic
At The UK Electric Gate Company, we have a range of security options to get the most out of your gates – you don't have to invest in automated electric gates to be able to benefit from these options.
With manual gates, you can limit who has access to your property, as someone without the access code could not open the gates without your input. All types of gates add a sense of security for home and business owners, but keypad access provides that extra level of reassurance.
Winner: Manual
Norton Grange
Whether you're looking for electric gates for your home or business, ease is a key driver in decision making. It's the little things in life that mean the most, and not having to leave your sleeping child alone whilst you get out of the car to open the gate does not go unappreciated. With underground sensors, you can drive into position and just wait for your gates to open up – simple.
Winner: Automatic
The Oswestry Gate
Future Changes
It is possible, and not particularly difficult, to make manual gates automatic, by adding above ground automation to your gates at a later stage. It's not possible to install below ground automation further down the line, so if you're looking for a seamless experience, it's best to consider all your options before installation.
If you do choose to have electric gates, at least you're at ease in the knowledge that should you change your mind, your gates can be automated at a later stage.
Winner: Manual
With these key advantages, it's now time or you to decide whether to have automatic or manual gates. If you need any help or advice for your decision making, contact The UK Electric Gate Company on 01743 455892, or fill out on enquiry form online.

Can I still claim if my injury at work isn't recorded within the accident book?
Yes you can.
Whilst a contemporaneous record of how the accident happened can significantly increase the chances of your injury at work compensation claim being successful, if a record is not made you can still receive compensation for your injury.
What is an accident book?
An employer should use an accident book to log each injury that occurs in the workplace or injured elsewhere but still working within working hours.
The log should include:
- Details of the injured person
- Details of the injury
- An accurate description of how the accident happened
- Date, time and location of the accident
- Who was involved, including details of any witnesses
- Details of the person completing the log, including the date the log was completed
- Any steps taken in the aftermath of the accident (e.g. any first aid administered).
An entry in the accident report book should be made at the earliest opportunity.
Is an accident book a legal requirement?
All companies with 10+ employees are required by law to have a work accident book on their premises to record injuries; they are legally required to store this record for at least 3 years.
Employers with less than 10 employees can choose not to have a book, but it is a good idea to have one.
When is a RIDDOR report required?
A report must be made by your employer if you suffer an injury at work and the injury is of a type which is reportable; these include:
- Death
- Major injuries such as fractures, amputations, head injuries, those resulting in loss or reduction of sight and serious burns
All of the above must be reported immediately; if it is not possible to do so then it must be reported as soon as possible thereafter, with a written report being sent within 10 days of the reported incident.
Injuries which result in employees being unable to perform their normal work duties for more than 7 consecutive days must also be reported, within 15 days of the accident.
Failure to comply with reporting obligations can result in a hefty fine for employers.
Why is it important that my injury is recorded?
Injury at work compensation claims are notoriously contentious; employers may question your version of how the accident happened in an effort to escape liability.
An entry within the accident report book can confirm that the accident happened as you said, adding to your credibility if it is one person's version of events versus another.
However, in some cases the accident report log may not be made immediately, if at all. Alternatively it may have been completed in your absence and without your input if your injury required immediate medical attention. This may lead to the record being inaccurate, which may harm your case.
The details recorded in an accident book would likely to be viewed as a more accurate version of events of what happened at the time of the accident, or shortly thereafter, as opposed to a recollection of events some time since the accident. It is therefore important the details are correct.
We can help if your injury isn't recorded or is recorded inaccurately
At Aston Knight Solicitors we are well versed in dealing with injury at work compensation claims where the injured employee's version of events is called in to question.
You can also help your own case by:
– Seeking medical attention for your injury; ensuring details of how your accident happened are recorded accurately at the Hospital or by your GP.
– Write details of how the accident happened and send these to your employer if they have failed to record your accident or the record made is inaccurate
– Take photos and/or video of your work space to back up what happened.
– Make a note of the names of any witnesses or colleagues which may be able to help your case.

Vox headline: "An NYT op-ed argued for making China poorer to make Americans richer. That's appalling."
Translation: a New York Times op-ed writer argued that competition from cheap labor hurts some American workers and thinks imposing tariffs might be a good response.
The Vox piece itself is a mish-mash of assertions. For example, it is true that most of the particular poverty in the South has nothing to do with foreign competition. But some of it does, as the author also admits. It is also true that tariffs impose deadweight costs. But the study on tire tariffs cited in the piece contains no error bars. (The methodology itself is also a little weird, assuming for example that tire manufacturers spend none of their income save wages, but leave that be.) The deadweight costs are quite likely negligible. And anyway, in this case, the point of tariffs would be to affect the income distribution inside the United States.
And then there is the moralization. It is true that imposing tariffs on foreign goods makes foreign exporters poorer. Yes. True. That is decent argument in favor of free trade. It is, in fact, an argument that I agree with. But saying that it is "appalling" to want to impose some marginal costs on the Chinese export sector to gain some marginal benefits for lower-income American workers is an attempt to shut down debate by painting any restraints on trade as immoral.
Well, now. If you are going to that, I want evidence about the distribution of the impact of U.S. tariffs on Chinese workers and employers. Come on now, if you are going to call something appalling, then you really have to show us the money.

Staying cool in the pool
Aquatics supervision is often deferred to a third party, such as a lifeguard or recreational facility. Because you are ultimately accountable for a club member's safety, utilize a screening process for that third party as well.
Managing Risk in Sport and Recreation: The Essential Guide for Loss Prevention outlines that emergency plans should be established and practiced as part of any swimming pool risk management plan. Consider the following questions:
- Has an emergency plan been developed for all possible emergencies?
- Are there designated persons who are charged with enacting the emergency plan?
- Has a chain of command been established?
- Is there a poolside telephone available?
- Are phone numbers of emergency agencies, key personnel, patrons' emergency contact numbers, and others included as part of the emergency plan?
- When the emergency plan is activated,
- What is your system for quickly identifying members with little or no swimming ability?
- Is the water evacuated of all people?
- Are people evacuated to a safe location?
- Are there other considerations for an emergency plan, such as supporting ratios of supervision?

How to present a Schedule in 2 minutes
By Davide Catuzzato - Asia Pacific Director Project Control - Amec Foster Wheeler
How many time we have been in the situation of presenting a project schedule having 2 or 3 minute time slots?
How difficult is to capture the audience attention and being capable to deliver the right message within the few minutes given.
Today, I wanna share a simple chart I have been using in the last few years and it is quite effective, especially during the tender phase and clients' presentation.
Having developed a level 2 schedule and identified the potential criticality, it is always quite challenging to prepare a Gantt or projecting a Primavera layout and being capable to explain in details the critical paths in 2 minute time.
Based on the MRT or Underground or Metro' network chart, I have been capable to overcome to this issue and presenting the schedule main criticalities capturing the audience interest and attention.
Best is to prepare the speech and explain to the forum the schedule evolution, strategy and time line having the control of the Power Point presentation. More effective if you associate few key dates to the most important train stations. Watch the video I'm sure it will help some of you.

Immigration to Canada: Police Certificates FAQ
Do I need a police certificate for Express Entry to Canada?
The Express Entry to Canada program requires applicants to supply a number of documents in the application process. One of the items on the Express Entry document checklist is a police certificate. Police certificates are required for any individual who is over the age of 18 and wishes to immigrate to Canada.
What is a police certificate?
A police certificate is a copy of your criminal record, or a statement that you do not have a criminal record. A police certificate will allow the government to determine if the applicant poses a security risk to Canada. Police certificates may have different names in other countries. Some of which include police clearance certificates, good conduct certificates, or judicial record extracts.
How long is a police certificate valid for?
The police certificate must have been issued no more than six months before the submission of the Express Entry application.
How do I get a police certificate?
To obtain a police certificate, you must contact the police or government. You will likely need to provide them with personal identification information and documents, such as photographs, fingerprints, and previous home addresses. You may also be required to pay a fee.
When do I submit my police certificate?
Express Entry candidates have 90 days to submit their police certificate. We recommend you apply for your police certificate as soon as possible to meet this deadline. In addition, if your certificate is not written in an official Canadian language (English or French), you should send along a translation of the document, completed by a certified translator. Police certificates need to be submitted as a scan of the original document, in colour.
What if I have lived in multiple different countries in the past?
The Canadian government has recently issued an update for police certificate requirements for the Express Entry program. Police certificates are now required up front and are mandatory for each country where an individual has spent six months or more in a row within the last 10 years since the age of 18.
What happens if I have a criminal record?
If you have a criminal record, you may not be allowed to enter or stay in Canada. You may be deemed inadmissible for any criminal convictions inside or outside Canada. If your application has been refused or denied, there are steps you can take to overcome your inadmissibility.
At Calver and Associates, we strive to help you overcome any obstacles to the immigration process. To find out how we can help you, contact us.

My 4th ( and 3rd) of July were awesome! On the 3rd my family and I drove up to a little town where they set off fireworks my favorite one was the last one which was huge and hung in the air! The next day we shot off fireworks and sparklers in our back yard! It was tons of fun! What did you do for the 4th?
The Choice Of A Lifetime
In my blog I will be interviewing people with extraordinary stories they have. I will still be posting how I usually post but now keep a lookout for posts like this. First I will be interviewing my mom and how she moved to the other side of the earth for someone she had only known for a few months…
Me: Tell me about the night you first met.
Mom: It was cold night I was wearing all my snow gear I was working night shift when I saw a patrol car I went up to the car and saw a military police man I asked if everything was okay just to be polite but he wouldn't stop talking he told me his name was Joe and he came from America all the way to Germany for the military. He asked several times for my phone number but I didn't give it to him. It came to the point when I thought that if I gave him my phone number he would stop talking. I was going to give him my phone number when he turned on the sirens instead of the lights. In the end I gave him my phone number.
Me: Tell me about the next time you say each other?
Mom: The next day he called my I didn't get the call because where I lived didn't have good reception but three days later I called him back and he said "What are you doing tonight?" That's when I said "Going out with you" That night we met at a restaurant where a man went up to Joe and said "Is she your girl?" Joe responded "No" unsure if I was his girl yet. Then the man walked up to me and said "Girl your rocking!" I stared him cold in the eye and said "Better watch yourself!" After that night Joe and I saw each other everyday.
Me: What happened after you got married since you lived in different countries?
Mom: Joe got sent over first since he was in the military but about two weeks later I left with my mom, aunt and our daughter. We ran from airport to airport looking funny with all the suitcases and the baby. We barely made it on the plane. It was such a close call that when Joe checked online it said we didn't make it. When we landed to a place I now call home no one was there to greet us since Joe was still on his way. The journey was amazing moving halfway across the world!
Every story has two sides so know I'm going to interview my dad AKA Joe!
Me: Tell me about the first time you met.
Dad: It was a march night at about one am I was working as a military police man in Santa Barbara Village. I was trying to rest and maybe take a nap or call my family. That's when I heard a Chi Cha Chi Cha. Like snow pants rubbing together that's when I saw a beautiful women with her hair put up in her hat because she didn't dry it. We talked for two hours about our interests and where we were from. It took those two hours for me to convince her to give me her phone number!
Me: Tell me about the next time you saw her?
Dad: She picked me up and we went out she was wearing dark jeans and a black shirt that she still has.
Me: What happened after you got married since you both lived in different countries?
Dad: We had to come to the US and start with nothing. But we started a family.
Stay tuned for more amazing stories if you have an a story that happened to you please contact me and I'll interview you!
Stay Amazing!
Living in Two Worlds
My life is like living in two worlds are Germany and the USA. Most of my family is there and they're a lot of fun to be around! Germany is just such a fun place to be! The sights, the setting, everything about it just seems SO perfect! I love the spirit of Germany! Last summer I went there during the World Cup. People had little flags on their cars, decorating the homes with red, black and yellow. If you've ever been in another country you know the "AWE" feeling! Everything so new, so different! When I first got there I was air sick so I couldn't really enjoy my first day there. After I got some rest I started to notice everything. For starters they mostly have sparkling water, and they don't refrigerate milk! My grandparents have lots of adorable animals at their farm including new born bunnies, two cats, twelve chihuahuas ( not including the 6 newborn puppies!) 8 sheep, and they used to have a parrot! It's like your own personal petting zoo!!! Plus they had an amazing garden and they're own beehives with raspberry and strawberries! Talk about awesome! My cousin's house has a beautiful view of the Ronnenberg Castle. All my family there is so nice!
Right now I'm learning German, for two reasons: Most of my family speaks German including my cousins who learn it in school! 2 I heard learning other languages helps expand your mind.
I'm starting slow, writing down the word in English, how it sounds in German and how to write it correctly in German. If you're trying to learn a language make a chart like that.
At a certain point in my life I will have to choose between my two worlds by law. It's SO unfair but so is life!
Stay Amazing!
PS Forone of my next post I'll be doing an interviewing someone so please contact me if you would like to be the one I interview first come first serve!
Summertime Sadness
This summer I am both sad & bored. I can't just watch TV everyday! And I can't go outside because my yard is way too muddy, I've read all my books that I have out, and actually I'm reading a 313 page book again to keep me entertained. The sister that is closest sister is at a soccer day camp, my other sister even younger than my other sister is very ornery and stubborn and just wants to watch Scooby Doo all day!
It's not like I have any bored games ( We have some but all of them are packed up) I could make up dance routines, but it would be too loud. Every time I invite friends over they have something going on. I would go on my laptop, but I only have a limited time I can be on my laptop. If anyone has any ideas about possible rainy day games please write me a comment below! Thanks Again!
Stay Amazing,
PS I am still doing Follow-4-Follow. Which means follow me and I'll follow you! Thanks!
Right now I might be moving I'm going through A LOT OF STRESS! I've never moved before and I don't know how to handle it! When people move in the movies, they either make a lot of friends or get bullied and humiliated so it's a hit or miss. I don't have much say in the new house, and we've already half way sold ours. We haven't found a house that we even like yet! And if we can't find a house we're going to have to live in an apartment! I can't live in an apartment. My family can barely handle each other how it is how are we supposed to live in a 2 bedroom apartment!!!!Also I don't know how I should break it to my friends. I want to break it easily, but i just don't know how.
Plus with my Aunt and Uncle in Germany for a vacation which means I won't be able to see my 1/2 cousin until August! Everything is new to me! Sometimes I like changes… but not this time. It's hard to look on the good side of things when there isn't a good side.

Old Cartoons
Everyone loves the old cartoons… especially me! From Scooby Doo to The Flinstones and Powerpuff Girls! These Cartoons live on even 25+ years before their time! For example: Scooby Doo was first aired in 1969 and bounced from different TV stations until 1991. Finally 20 years later in 2011 the new modern version of Scooby Doo came out. In short Scooby Doo is just one of the great examples of a cartoon that lived on through the years. Another wonderful example of a cartoon that lived on is The Flinstones. Now the Flinstones have been around since 1960. and in 1994 Flinstones the movie came out. Still, 21 years after the last Flinstones production people still are crazy about the Flinstones for instance the cereal Coco Pebbles is advertised by the Flinstones. In the world of cartoons there are many cartoon legends that the world will never forget, the memorable cartoons that everyone still knows about even 21 years after their last performance. So what do you think?

Softball Cheer's Anyone?
- I love to play softball, after hitting home runs and getting the other team out, I enjoy making up cheers for our team. My team, Extreme, LOVES to cheer on girls when their up to bat. And we know all the cheers by heart and we've even tried making up new ones, but it's hard. So I ask you to help me come up with some in the commits.
They can't be or have…
- Directly to the other team ( our coach doesn't think it's appropriate to speak directly to the other team)
- Bad words ( Definitely NOT appropriate)
But they CAN have or be…
- About being the best
- Stealing bases
- Home runs
Basically anything that relates to softball and makes our team sound better without putting the other team down. Thanks everyone!

World Cup
This summer the women's world cup is going on. One of my favorite things about the world cup is how the whole world comes together! What is your favorite thing about the world cup? Another great thing about the world cup is I can really relate to it, for one I am very passionate about soccer,I play soccer every year! Another way I can relate to the world cup is I come from many different parts of the world, including Germany, America, Italy, and Ireland. How can you relate to the world cup? I am hoping for any of the countries I am from. Who do you want to win? Please answer the bold questions and help spread the love around the world!

Be Yourself
I just want to give a shout-out to all the girls who wish to be someone they aren't "Be yourself because everyone else is taken" Don't change yourself for someone your not, being original is worth more than being a copy. Everyone is different and if someone doesn't accept you for who you are they're not good enough for you.
" When it comes down to it. Let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm already better than them" – Marilyn Monroe

California's Drought
California has always been hot but never this hot! For the past few years Grace ( a NASA machine that cycles the Earth and checks where shortages of water are) Spotted California getting dry. In 2002 California was fine, untouched. In 2008 Grace started to show California was starting to get short of water. Then finally last year in 2014 California was red showing that California was in a drought. The ground is sinking feet there and the water too, Mayor Brown has cut off 25% of the water supply in California! Effecting 25 million people! What is causing this drought two things. First is what usually causes droughts, not enough rain. The 2nd thing is pumping water. That's right California has been pumping and drilling for water. Farmers across California have been pumping for water for their own needs. Like one farmer and his neighbor are drilling for water so they can have a well. Scientists say that even if they had rain or snow every other day for 4 months ( October) California would still be in serious trouble. California's drought has been declared an exceptional drought, meaning some communities will eventually run out of water, for communities in 10 counties water could run out in 60 days. Many lakes and rivers have dried up will California ever be wet again?

"Scotland might surprise you" – according to the Scottish Tourist Board promotional advert. It would certainly surprise you, had you flown into any of our country's airports and been greeted by the billboard which welcomed visitors with the claim "Scotland – probably the best small country in the world"
Because any visitor would be more than surprised at the manifestation of hatred towards one of Scotland's oldest and most respected institutions – Rangers Football Club. Furthermore temporary guests to our shores would be even more surprised to learn that this outward pouring of hatred, venom, poison and bile, often from behind the safety of a keyboard, was neither condemned nor challenged by Scotland "moral guardians of society" – the press.
But the surprises will just keep on coming for our visitors. They will learn of the journalist who saw fit to support Scotland's Hate Crime Bill
and yet, surprisingly, described the festering festival of hatred conducted by a hate-filled mob against Rangers FC as follows : "A voracious, voluble, impassioned type of democracy has won the day." Scotland may surprise you with her shameless levels of hypocrisy.
And such visitors would be right to ask what kind of "democracy" is Scotland where football authorities usurp the fundamental presumption of innocence, who seek to impose draconian and excessive punishments on the untried, and who ignore the rulings of Scotland's courts to inflict unlawful transfer embargos on the aforementioned Rangers FC. Small wonder then that "Scotland might surprise you"
And they would be surprised by the lack of contrition shown by those who declared the innocent "guilty" before trial, yet were subsequently vindicated of the allegations against them. They would be even more surprised that the guilty have gone unpunished, remain in their respective posts and still weave their web of chaos with regard to our national game.
But they wont be surprised that the hate filled mob reneged on their promises to sell out Saturdays or support their own clubs. For this was never about devotion but hatred motivated by petty jealousy and bigotry, among other things. Scotland's visitors will be further surprised to learn the only tale of devotion was that shown by the supporters of Rangers FC, despite their club being castigated to the lowest tier of Scottish football.
Perhaps what would surprise them most however, is that this country, so capable of such unbridled and unchallenged hatred, and which is more than willing to turn a blind eye to injustice against her own, has aspirations of self-governance.
It would not surprise me if our departing visitors were to commit an act of graffiti on that billboard as they leave our shores…
"Scotland – probably the best small-minded country in the world"
