Paxson pushes spectrum trade-off
Paxson Communications Chairman Lowell "Bud" Paxson Wednesday said almost half of the broadcasters operating on TV channels 60-69 have signed on to a plan that will allow television spectrum worth tens of billions of dollars to be turned over to new wireless user years ahead of schedule.
The price: Paxson's group will demand that the government force cable companies to carry the multiple digital signals that stations plan to offer, not just the one primary channel required under current rules. Plus they insist that broadcasters take a cut from of the $30 billion or more that wireless companies are expected to pay for the TV spectrum when it is auctioned in September.
Paxson said other major TV groups signed on to the plan are Univision, Shop-at-Home and Pappas Telecasting, which along with Paxson account for 40% of the 138 stations with allotments on channels 60-69, which is located on the 700 MHz band. He said he hopes to have almost all of the stations on the band signed on by the time he unveils details of his band-clearing plan. Under his plan, broadcasters would strike early buyout deals with potential wireless bidders in the weeks before the FCC's auction.
Paxson was adamant that TV broadcasters win cable carriage rights for the six digital signals that a broadcaster can fit into the same amount of spectrum now devoted to one analog signal.
"In our business plan it makes sense to be in multiple networks," he said. Paxson said the expectation that TV stations will devote most of their digital spectrum to one high-definition signal is now "dead".
Without multiple carriage rights, all of the stations operating on channels 60-69 may refuse to give up their signals early. A hold out would be a devastating blow to the wireless companies now chafing at the chance to pick up the TV spectrum. Without early buyout deals, TV stations are entitled to keep their analog signals 2006 at the earliest, but more than likely stations could keep their analog signals indefinitely because none would be required to give up spectrum until 85% of American homes are equipped with digital television.

In fashion industry the term «replica» is usually understood as a method — to get inspired by high art of the past. We tried to erase a line between creating an object of fashion and an object of art. We tried to present the collection as a piece of art, as an event, as a way of depicting reality and the inner world of the artist through the use of artistic images.

The collection Final Fantasy was based on notions of sci-fi, rave culture and the idea of creative potential of human fantasy. Instead of regular lookbook we created an experimental zine in collaboration with Russian photographer and collage artist Anton Reva. Anton has worked on the zine through every stage, from taking the photos to endless post processing, using completely analogue techniques many of which he has developed himself, and some such as working simultaneously with ice and fire specifically for our collaboration.

Tcpreplay 3.0 Beta11 reviewDownload
Tcpreplay is a suite of BSD licensed tools written by Aaron Turner for *NIX operating systems which gives you the ability to use prev
Tcpreplay is a suite of BSD licensed tools written by Aaron Turner for *NIX operating systems which gives you the ability to use previously captured traffic in libpcap format to test a variety of network devices.
Tcpreplay allows you to classify traffic as client or server, rewrite Layer 2, 3 and 4 headers and finally replay the traffic back onto the network and through other devices such as switches, routers, firewalls, NIDS and IPS's.
Here are some key features of "Tcpreplay":
tcpprep - multi-pass pcap file pre-processor which determines packets as client or server and creates cache files used by tcpreplay and tcprewrite
tcprewrite - pcap file editor which rewrites TCP/IP and Layer 2 packet headers
tcpreplay - replays pcap files at arbitrary speeds onto the network
tcpbridge - bridge two network segments with the power of tcprewrite
flowreplay - emulates a network client using a pcap file as the basis of a TCP or UDP connection (currently in alpha)
Generally speaking, most people would first run tcpprep against a pcap file to create a cache file which splits traffic between client and server if they are testing an inline device like a firewall or IPS.
Then depending on their network setup and where the pcap was captured, they would use tcprewrite to edit the packets so that the device under test will examine them properly. Finally, tcpreplay is used to replay the pcap onto the network to do the test.
What's New in This Release:
Fix distribution to ship missing src/tcpr.h (#73)
Add support to tcprewrite to alter output file DLT (#74)
Fix errors in 'make test' (little endian still broken) (#77)
Tweak Autogen .def files documentation (#78)

Dublin, 15th December 2015 – The ILCU Foundation has been presented with the FW Raiffeissen Award 2015 by the Nepal Federation of Savings and Credit Cooperative Union (NEFSCUN) at the 24th annual general meeting in respect of its support to the movement during its initial development. The award was accepted by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Cooperatives, Honbl. Mr Chitra Bahadur KC on behalf of the ILCU Foundation at the AGM, where 2,400 savings and credit cooperative leaders were present.
Speaking about the award, Alan Moore, ILCU Foundation General Manager, said, "On behalf of the Board and Staff of the ILCU Foundation we are sincerely grateful for this recognition by the Board of the Nepal Federation of Savings and Credit Cooperative Union. We began to work with NEFSCUN in 1992 and we were in a position to provide specialist technical support to the movement which contributed to its growth into the successful movement that it is today.
We also had the ability to provide aid effectively and efficiently following the disastrous earthquake this year which killed thousands of people, destroyed a number of Savings and Credit Cooperative buildings and their members' homes due to the financial contributions which we receive from our generous supporters in Ireland.
This recognition is a testament to our work which is supported by members' and credit unions throughout Ireland, without their backing we wouldn't have been in a position to help NEFSCUN; I would like to dedicate this award to our supporters."

Apologies: Mike Purtell, Jim Mattheson, Clive Barker, Allan Murray, Rob Agars
Acceptance of Previous Minutes: carried
Matters Arising from Previous Minutes
Bushcare Picnic
Lyndal reported on the list of lower and mid Mountains venues inspected and that Kihilla at Hazelbrook was still to be inspected. Other suggestions were – Korowal and Camp Fletcher (Hazelbrook) and Santa Maria (Lawson). It was agreed that the Sun Valley venue was very successful except for the lack of covered area in the event of rain.
It was agreed that the venue for the 2009 picnic be Megalong Valley unless one of the mid mountains venues suggested is assessed to be suitable by Bushcare Officers.
RTA plant lists
No further action on Hazelbrook landscaping plans.
Walking Tracks
Ivan reported that Council licensing of proposed recreational activities was advertised in the council page of the gazette periodically, and that these may be relevant to various bushcare groups.
Highway Working Party to deal with Sediment from RTA works
It was noted that the working party had not been reconvened at this stage.
Blue Mountains Bushfire Risk Management Plan
Action: Ivan to monitor developments.
Archiving Records of Bushcare Network Minutes
Information was received from John Merriman, the Local Studies Librarian at Blue Mountains City Library that the library is not able to provide permanent, free, secure storage for any community or Council archives; and that the Government Records Repository (GRR) provides fee-based storage.
Action: Lachlan to investigate best means of electronic storage of current and future records. Lyndal to contact community organisations to ask how they archive hardcopy records.
New Weeds: Acacia elongate range
Clive to report on range. Defer to next meeting.
Blue Mountains Local Weeds Committee
Barbara reported on major issues discussed: weed control in transport corridor (Rail Corp commenced contract), Phytophthera protocols by agencies, BMCC subcatchment approach to noxious weed notices rather than response to complaints.
Barbara has organised a separate page for the Bushcare Network page to be set up on the website by John Penlington. Note May 08 minutes on web incorrectly named 2007.
Action: Lyndal to arrange a notice in the next Gecko to inform readers of the links to Bushcare Network information.
Phytophthora protocols
A basic protocol was outlined in the last Gecko and most groups were already adopting these procedures. It was agreed that when other agencies worked in bushland, they also should adopt Phytophthora hygiene protocols, e.g. Integral Energy clearing vegetation around power lines.
Action: Ruth to write an article for the Gecko, about Integral's vegetation clearing practices and policies, with contacts that may be used by Bushcare groups affected by power lines.
Bushcare Network Bank Account

Next Meeting: February 18 2009
Issues for inclusion in review of Bushcare:
Procedures Manual Oct 2002
Compiled from discussion at Bushcare Network Meeting 26th November 2008.
Format/organisation issues
The document should be called the 'Policy and Procedures Manual', as it contains
policy in addition to procedures.
More consistent wording needed.
Restructure document to avoid repetition and to be shorter.
Landcare program to be included (rather than two manuals) identifying differences where relevant, e.g. Introduction (p3) Aims and Objectives (p4) Starting a Group (p5) Expectations of Volunteers and Council (p6)
Consideration to be given to whether Swampcare and event based programs should be included.
Children below 16 years to be supervised by a parent or an adult nominated by the parent and agreed to by the adult (not a Bushcare Officer).
Reduction of Council support and/or Withdrawal of Authority to groups
Reduction in Support to Groups
In the event of Bushcare Officer support required for new groups, a list of criteria to be used by Council should be in this document, to guide the decision to reduce the level of Bushcare support from another group.
Reduction of support may be from monthly to two or three monthly; in which case Council will continue to supply tools and be available to assist when required. In some instances it may mean that the group will not be able to continue.
Capacity of the group to continue without a Bushcare Officer
- level of knowledge of bush regeneration in the group,
- the willingness of the coordinator to supervise the group in carrying out its site strategy and accept responsibility for OH&S matters
- the training and experience of the coordinator in bush regeneration principles and techniques and OH&S,
- the willingness of the group to continue without monthly Bushcare officer support,
- attendance levels of volunteers over 6 month period,
- history of the group.
Suitability of the site
- a developed site strategy and workplan
- the stage in the regeneration process of the site
- OH&S issues on the site
- potential for some works to be undertaken by bush regeneration team
- environmental values of the site
Questions to be addressed during the review:
- Should council only assess reductions because of low attendance?
- Should there be the same level of assessment for Landcare and Bushcare?
- If a group is not able to continue with a reduced level of support, should Council close the group, e.g. if there are only 1 or 2 regular members?
Withdrawal of authority to work on a Bushland Site
Council may withdraw its authority for the group to work on Council managed land if after going through a formal mediation procedure the group continues to act in any of the following ways:
- non-compliance with relevant environmental legislation, policies and procedures,
- non-compliance with bush regeneration principles and techniques as outlined in section …?…. in this manual,
- failure to undertake activities in a safe and responsible way and adhere to the OH&S legislation,
- (acts) contrary to the Aims & Objectives outlined in this Manual (could allow too much discretion)
Disagreement with Council policies, management plans or activities is not a cause for Council withdrawing its support to a Bushcare group, or preventing a group from continuing working on Council managed land.
A mediation procedure to be outlined.
A code of conduct is recommended for inclusion. (Examples of such Codes from other organisations to be looked at.)
Note: the contents of this section needs to be integrated with expectations of Vols and Council section pp 7–10.
Protocol for Council when applying for grants using volunteer hours
A protocol needs to be included to ensure that when Council uses volunteer hours to lever grant funding, that there is adequate consultation with the relevant group/s prior to the application being made.

Hi there! I'm Patsy Holbrook, and I'd like to welcome you to Confidence Caffe
If you'd told me 34 years ago, that I'd not only be running my own business, but empowering children and young people, I'd have laughed at you! I've not always been the confident and assertive person that I am today.
Like many children and young people, as a teenager I suffered with a crippling lack of self-confidence and poor self-esteem. Much of this was due to poor self-image, including buck teeth, blue rimmed National Health glasses and being well developed for my age. All of which made me a target for unkind comments and bullying.
I regularly feigned illness, in an attempt to skip school and avoid more hurt. My poor mum was forever making appointments for me to see the GP. They didn't know what was wrong, but I did- I was scared and felt alone.
Fast forward to getting married and having 3 children. One of my sons struggled throughout his school career and I felt that nobody listened to my concerns as a parent and- more importantly- were able to meet his needs. I was where parents and schools find themselves today, wondering whether any positive action would come out of the many multi-agency assessments being made.
It never did, and I worried how my child would manage without the support he desperately needed to progress. Thankfully, he has, but he is where he is today due to his strength of character and stubbornness! The education system failed him miserably and this kick-started my determination and passion to ensure that no other child fell foul of the education system like we did.
This is what I do today- I am the piece of the jigsaw that was missing for both myself and my son when we were younger. I am a child's advocate and voice; a bridge between a family and the education authority; I empower children and their families to find every educational opportunity and support they need.
It is the best job in the world.
What I offer...
1:1 Targeted Support
Every child is unique and so are their support needs! Each of my targeted support programs are carefully tailored to meet your child's individual needs.
If your child is struggling emotionally, in any area of their lives, even if they can't express what's troubling them- I can help!
Emotional Regulation & Collaborative Problem-solving Programmes
If your child finds it difficult to communicate their needs effectively, make and maintain friendships, struggles to work with others and would like to feel a sense of belonging with opportunities to make friends, our co-operative games clubs and personal problem-solving groups, will support your child with all of the above, in a discreet way!
Empowering Parents
Concerned about your child's social and emotional difficulties? Perhaps you're worried about how they will cope with transitioning from one school to another?
Whatever your concern, contact me to arrange a free, 'Discovery' session.
Supporting Schools and Alternative Provision
Are you struggling to re-engage struggling or disaffected learners?
Maybe your learners are struggling to recognise, name and regulate their emotions?
Perhaps your School Development Plan identifies the need for pupils to become independent problem-solvers and collaborators?
For 1:1 and/or small group sessions, that will make a real difference to your school community, contact me to see how I can help.
Webinars & Workshops
What's being said...
Mrs W, Worcester
Patsy was really helpful when she came out to see us giving some advice and information about moving forward to help our child adjust to school. She is so friendly and understood our concerns and wanted the very best for our child. Would highly recommend her and her and the work she does.
Mrs W, Pershore.
I first met Patsy when my 12 year old grandson was going through a particularly tough time.. The whole family was at crisis point but with Patsy's input we are now all in a better place. My grandson was a very anxious and unhappy boy who could not interact with his peers although he was desperate to. Patsy has given him the tools to help overcome his problems and he is now a much calmer and more importantly, happier child.
Patsy is professional and extremely understanding and I would highly recommend her.
Mrs W, Evesham
Thank you for everything you have done for her. You have given her confidence at school and at home. The sessions are fun and educational which makes learning a breeze. Patsy is so passionate about what she does, I would 100% recommend her services.
Mrs S, Evesham
She seems so much more relaxed and happy. I've no doubt it's down to your friendship, guidance and warmth; a safe and kind person she can turn to for advice and support.
Mrs K, Malvern
Patsy is a superb practitioner. As a former colleague, I can say from experience that she has had and still has, the most profound and positive influence on the confidence of many young people.
Mrs DFP, Evesham
Patsy has been incredible, not only in supporting my son who has a diagnosis of Aspergers & a language delay, but also being there for me as a parent whilst going through the process of getting an EHC plan for my son. I can honestly say she is one of the most passionate people I have met when it comes to making a difference to a child & helping them achieve what they are truly capable of. My son has made huge steps not only with his literacy, but with his social communication which, he struggled greatly with. One year on from support with Patsy and I have a child that is more confident, that can use coping strategies to help him work through problems rather than having a meltdown and he has progressed academically too. I would whole heartedly recommend Patsy, and I know she is out there to make a difference to those children that need it!
Mrs B, Droitwich
Patsy came into our lives and with her positivity, encouragement and understanding. She has given my son the tools to help manage his anxiety and we are now on the road to recovery.
Mr and Mrs W, Droitwich
We have been dismissed from CAMHS as they were unable to engage with our daughter. Patsy was able to engage her in one session. Without Patsy, we really don't know what we would of done. I'm sure she has her wonder women costume underneath.
Mr & Mrs W, Evesham.
H's second session with Patsy was a revelation… within minutes we could hear 2 voices in conversation… It was almost as if Patsy had unlocked his voice, and H suddenly felt as if he had permission to speak freely.
Mr & Mrs L, Worcester.
Patsy put my anxious daughter at ease within minutes of their first session together and quickly developed a bond with her. My daughter has grown in confidence so much already, using the Confidence Caffe's techniques, and I can see a real difference in her.
Master L
My support has changed me as a person. I didn't think I'd ever fit in or have friends. Patsy fixed that and now I'm much more confident.
Master I
'Everything's just clicked! I don't think I've ever processed this much!"
Master A
I was depressed then. I'd given up. Now I'm wooo! Let's go!

Gay serviceman James became the first homosexual soldier to appear on the front cover of the Armed Forces' magazine in 2009. The Household Cavalry Regiment trooper was featured in the monthly Soldier publication to celebrate diversity in the Army, nine years after it lifted its ban on homosexuality within the ranks. During his eight-year career, the Lance Corporal says he has experienced just two uncomfortable moments, but neither was serious enough to make him quit.
"I came out to the Army before I told my parents, so that says a lot for the Armed Forces," he recalls.
James went on to wed air steward partner Thom McCaffrey in 2010. And in April this year, he raised £4,000 for Stonewall by completing the Brighton Marathon.
Number 5 on the DS list of the "50 Most Influential Gays", 2011

Superstring theory on {\rm AdS}_3\times {\rm S}^3\times \mathbb{T}^4 with the smallest amount of NS-NS flux (`k=1') is shown to be dual to the spacetime CFT given by the large N limit of the free symmetric product orbifold \mathrm{Sym}^N(\mathbb{T}^4). To define the worldsheet theory at k=1, we employ the hybrid formalism in which the {\rm AdS}_3\times {\rm S}^3 part is described by the \mathfrak{psu}(1,1|2)_1 WZW model (which is well defined). Unlike the case for k\geq2, it turns out that the string spectrum at k=1 does {\it not} exhibit the long string continuum, and perfectly matches with the large N limit of the symmetric product. We also demonstrate that the fusion rules of the symmetric orbifold are reproduced from the worldsheet perspective. Our proposal therefore affords a tractable worldsheet description of a tensionless limit in string theory, for which the dual CFT is also explicitly known.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner folks, so if you're hosting any holiday gatherings, it's go time for getting your house guest-ready. We at BH want to help you get prepared so that you can enjoy the holiday instead of stressing over those household tasks.
You know the old saying "If you wait till the last minute, it only takes a minute"? While it's a cute little saying, when it comes to house preparation, this theory is wrong. If you wait till the last minute, you won't get through your to do list, your house will remain in shambles, you'll rush at the last minute, feel stressed out, burn the stuffing, and yell at Grandma when she criticizes your cuisine. If you had just prepared, you wouldn't have yelled at your sweet ole gran. By finishing projects, cleaning, organizing and prepping for your guests, you will be stress-free by the time of your gathering. Here are our tips on how to make it happen.
While you don't necessarily have to have that ceiling stain painted over, nail in the loose piece of trim, or install that new backsplash to throw a great party, having a deadline like a gathering is a great way to get through that household to do list that often gets put aside for a later date. Make a list of things that you definitely want to have done BY the date of your party. Prioritize your tasks on the list and put the most time-consuming projects near the top.
A sad truth about homes is that, while living in them, you might not realize just how dirty they've gotten.
You grow oblivious to your own filth, your home's aroma and the accumulation of clutter. Now, a few weeks out from your party, is a good time to spend a day or two doing some deep cleaning. Here's a helpful checklist of the commonly forgotten chores, and remember, clean your rooms from the top down:
- Vacuum any cobwebs that have accumulated around the ceiling
- Wipe down your walls (a magic eraser is a great tool for removing wall stains)
- Wipe down, disinfect light switches, door knobs, hardware
- Dust everything thoroughly including light fixtures, on top of and inside of furniture, shelves (remove all items, then dust), windows and doors
- Wash your windows, inside and out. This includes window screens also
- Clean your window treatments. Dust blinds, vacuum, dry clean or wash curtains and valances.
- Vacuum and wash your floors. Shampoo your carpets
- Sanitize any cleaning tools you use like sponges or mops
- If weather permits, open all your home's windows to air out the inside
- Replaced burned out light bulbs
- Sanitize all surfaces of your bathroom
- Scrub down your shower walls. If you have built up grime that your regular cleaner can't cut, use the toilet bowl cleaner on the walls. It has stronger compounds that can cut through soap build-up better
- Wash your bathroom linens including your shower curtain and liner, rugs and towels
- Wipe down your shower curtain rod and rings
- Clear out and bleach your drains
- Bleach your toilet, then bleach your toilet brush and holder. It's a good idea to unscrew that toilet seat and clean what has accumulated below the screws also
- Wipe out your trash can
- Wipe out drawers or shelves of your vanity
- Wipe down your bathroom light fixtures
- Vacuum out your bathroom's fan
- Wipe down all appliances (microwave, oven, coffee pot, toaster, etc.)
- Clear out and clean your fridge and underneath your fridge
- Wipe down inside your cabinets and drawers
- Clean your silverware organizer
- Wipe down and sanitize your kitchen trash can
- Clear out your pantry. Get rid of any expired items and wipe down your shelves
- Clean your dishwasher filter and your garbage disposal flaps (where mold often grows)
- If you have a fan over your oven, clean the extractor fan
- Wash your dish drying rack
- Bleach your kitchen sink to keep it smelling fresh
- Wash all your bedding linens, including your mattress pad, bed skirt, pillows
- Vacuum your mattress
- Remove cushions and vacuum all couches and chairs
- Steam clean any furniture that needs it
- If you have one, clean up around the fireplace. Vacuum cobwebs, dust, etc.
- Wash throw blankets
- Wipe down washer and dryer, inside out
- Run a cleaning cycle in washing machine
- Clean out dryer ducts and vents
- Wipe down laundry hampers/baskets
- Replace Air filters
Hooray, your house is clean, fresh and organized. Now, a few days before the party, give the home a quick dust, vacuum, and regular cleaning, and you're ready to go!
This word can be scary, but don't fret, we will help you conquer the clutter.
- Keep your flat surfaces clutter free.
Our countertops can often become drop zones for junk mail, papers, everything. Throw anything you don't need and organize what you do need to keep in a file organizer.
- Donate
Go through your shoes, coats, clothing, decorative items….and get rid of things you don't use. If you haven't used them in the past few years, if you never reach for them, donate. You'll have more room in your home and someone else might be able to put your stuff to good us.
- Take Inventory on Bathroom Products.
Throw away expired, unused, or almost empty products. These can often clutter up bathrooms, and when guests are staying, you'll want the extra space.
- Keep your cords organized.
Grab some zip ties, twist ties, whatever you can find, and get those cords organized. Cords hanging all over the place look sloppy and collect dust.
- Storage Alternatives.
If you're short on kitchen storage space, consider storing some of your lesser used appliances and serveware elsewhere in the house. If you haven't touched that blender in 2 years, maybe store it down on a basement shelf. Guests might be assisting you in the kitchen and rifling through your cabinets, and if they're organized it'll make your meal prep easier!
If you're having overnight guests, a few small and easy gestures can make them feel at home and show that you're a gracious host. If you're prepared, you'll get to enjoy your guests more than if you're stressing at the last minute to make sure they have what they need.
- Make sure you have enough guest towels, hand towels and washcloths that are stain free and in good condition. I always appreciate when a host sets aside a set of towels on the guest bed for my use. This way, I don't have to dig through their closets to try and find them.
- A nice touch is when a host leaves a personal bar of soap with the towels. No one wants to share a bar soap. If you don't want to waste money on a full bar that will only be used a few times, head over to the travel section at your store and pick up a few of the mini bars.
- Stock other toiletries your guests might forget. Have a spare toothbrush, razor, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, makeup remover, etc. A great way to do this is keep a container with samples or minis of these items out in the bathroom or guest bedroom so they don't have to ask and can help themselves.
- Make sure the bathroom is stocked with toilet paper, you don't want your guest to run out mid….use. Its nice to have things like cotton pads, Q-Tips as well.
- Its not pleasant, but sometimes toilets can have issues. Leave a CLEAN plunger near your guest toilet to save your guest from having to address you about any embarrassing toilet situations.
- Have extra pillows, bedding and blankets clean and ready for guests.
- Make sure you have a bedside lamp and nightlights. Your guests will appreciate a simple hallway and bathroom nightlight to help them navigate your home at night.
- Have some hangers and space available for guests to unpack and hang their clothing.
- Consider putting a fan into a guest's room, it might help them get a better night of sleep.
- Ask you guests ahead of time if there are any specific food or drink requests. Then keep a stock of basics like milk, coffee, coffee creamer, tea.
- Be mindful of scents that you have. Some people are sensitive to fragrance, so when washing bedding, opt for unscented cleaners. If you normally have scented plug ins or candles, consider putting them away for guests.
- If you feel stressed, your guests will feel uneasy. In the end, the goal is to enjoy the time you have together, so don't forget to enjoy yourself!
There you have our lists within our list of how to get your home host-ready. Check back next week for our next edition of the Holiday Handbook!

Tuesday, July 24, 2018
Near home there is a primary school. On the day of the pioneers the director made them wear military uniforms to boys and girls, made by their own mothers.
Almost always reached the first link between all schools in the city that paraded. The Director achieved prestige and fame for his inventiveness. I did not know that I was disrespecting human rights for children that the UN had declared years ago.
He reminded me of the black shirts that Hitler fathered to kill or beat anyone who opposed him, especially the poor Jews. This was how he prepared the minds of the boys to be future defenders of the Castro regime.
Fortunately, someone from the central committee of the PCC read the UN article and the parades stopped. Or were the criticisms of foreigners who saw in that a brainwashing since they were very young.
The Director did not know anything else. It was rumored that he had been sent to a little school in the middle of the mountain.
The international pressure and the most advanced minds of the country to whom official indoctrination could not make a dent could do much in a system as closed as ours in which the Magna Carta of Human Rights were bad words.

UPS employed Spiger from January 20, 2014 to April 6, 2015. Docket 7 at ¶ 2. She worked both as a counter clerk and as part of UPS's air operation. Id. The terms and conditions of Spiger's employment were governed by the "National Master United Parcel Service Agreement" and "Teamsters Central Region and United Parcel Service Supplemental Agreement to the National Master United Parcel Service Agreement" (together, hereinafter "the CBA"). Id. at 5; Docket 7-1.
On March 25, 2015, Spiger filed a grievance complaining that someone changed her hours and that she was not paid for all the time she had worked. Docket 7-1 at 52. She claimed this was a violation "of contract and the laws of the state." Id. She requested "to be paid for all time/pay as well as penalty, taken away pay from me resulting in lost wages and for practice to cease immediately." Id. During the grievance hearing, Spiger resigned. Id. She also allegedly told UPS she would "see [it] in court." Docket 7 at ¶7.
Spiger filed this claim on May 7, 2015 in Small Claims Court in Hughes County. Docket 1-1. She described her claims as "DEBT OWED FOR LOST WAGES IN AIRTIME @ $11.50 HR . . . PLUS LOST WAGES ON TIME CLOCK REGULAR HOURS." Id. The only law she cites in her complaint is SDCL 60-11-7, which states "In any action for the breach of an obligation to pay wages, if a private employer has been oppressive, fraudulent, or malicious, in the employer's refusal to pay wages due to the employee, the measure of damages is double the amount of wages for which the employer is liable." Id. She claims punitive damages under this statute. Id.
Defendant removed the case to this court based on federal question jurisdiction. Docket 1 at ¶11. Defendant argues, "Federal question jurisdiction exists in this case based on the complete preemption of Plaintiff's claims by Section 301 of the Labor Management Relations Act ('LMRA' or 'Act'), 29 U.S.C. § 185(a), because Plaintiff's claims will necessarily require interpretation of the CBA." Id. Defendant argues that because Spiger cites a statute that provides for punitive damages when " 'a private employer has been oppressive, fraudulent, or malicious, in the employer's refusal to pay wages due to the employee[, ]' . . . the CBA is critical in determining what amount of wages are due to an employee." Id. at ¶12-13.
The CBA covers issues of wages, hours, and records as well as grievance and arbitration procedures. Defendants supplied the National Master United Parcel Service Agreement portion of the CBA. Docket 7-1. Article 8 discusses the grievance procedure. Id. at 3. "All grievances and/or questions of interpretation arising under the provisions of this [CBA] shall be submitted to the grievance procedure for determination." Id. Article 8, section 3 states, "If the Master Panel is unable to reach agreement, then either party may appeal the issue presented to final and binding arbitration." Id. at 6.
Article 12 provides:
Upon request, an employee or the Union may inspect the record of an employee's time recorded on the DIAD or other device for previous days' work. An employee will be permitted to examine the operation record for the current pay period for the purpose of ascertaining his/her hours worked. If an employee has an issue with his/her hours worked for a particular day, the Employer will provide the employee, upon written request, with a print out of his/her hours worked.
The Employer shall not alter the information from the DIAD board, or information recorded through the use of any other technology, so as to diminish an employee's compensable time, without the employee's knowledge. Further, the Employer shall post for an employee's review, a copy of the PTE edits for each day.
Id. at 11.
Article 17 provides:
All employees covered by this Agreement shall be paid for all time spent in service of the Employer. Rates of pay provided for by this Agreement shall be minimums. Time shall be computed from the time that the employee is ordered to report for work and registers in and until the employee is effectively released from duty.
Id. at 12.
Article 22, section 5 lays out the wage structure for part time employees. Id. at 18. Article 40, section 6 regulates the part-time air drivers wages. Id. at 26. Article 41 regulates full-time employees' wages. Id. at 36.
Defendant also provided the Teamsters Central Region and United Parcel Service Supplemental Agreement portion of the CBA. Docket 7-1. Article 5, section 1 states: "The Union and the Employer agree that there shall be no . . . legal proceedings without first using all possible means of a settlement, as provided for in this Agreement . . . ." Id. at 39. This section defines a grievance as "any controversy, complaint, misunderstanding, or dispute arising as to interpretation, application or observance of any of the provisions of this Agreement . . . ." Id. Section 1 also details the grievance procedure. Id. at 40-42.
Article 8, section 1 states: "All regular employees covered by this Agreement shall be paid in full each week." Id. at 43. Article 9 regulates time sheets and time clocks. Id. at 44. It states:
The Employer shall provide and require the employee to keep a time sheet or trip card showing the arrival and departure at centers or hubs . . . and same shall be turned in at the end of each trip. . . . In all delivery operations, a daily time record shall be maintained by the Employer at its place of business.
Article 11 regulates part-time employees. Section 3 states: "It is understood these employees shall be paid the appropriate rate of pay for all hours which [sic] they perform such work." Id. at 46. Article 12 regulates weekly work schedules and overtime pay. Id. at 47-50.
Defendant now moves to dismiss this action for failure to state a claim because Spiger's claims are preempted by § 301 of the LMRA and for lack of subject matter jurisdiction because she failed to exhaust her remedies in the ...

Textures (těks'chərs) substantive.
1. A structure made of interwoven fibers or other elements.
2. The unique, physical composition or arrangement of a piece, especally regarding the size, shape and alignment of its components.
3. A modern progessive metal sextet, whose works are as brutal as diverse and experimental.
2003: as the TEXTURES debut album "Polars" was released, the Dutch music magazine Oor stated: "This is the best metal album, that once came out from Holland." The groundstone had been laid.
TEXTURES, once just an unknown band from the south of the Netherlands, has now become, a few albums later, a major player of the global metal scene. Their fourth album and Nuclear Blast debut "Dualism" is even more groovier, catchier and has heavier production than its predecessor "Silhouettes" .
TEXTURES are now to release a musical diptych. Both albums revolve around a common concept:
»Phenotype«, the first one to be released in 2016, is a 60-minute song based album. TEXTURES deliver a versatile overview of what modern metal has to offer. Catchy, innovative and progressive songs, this is TEXTURES at their purest.
»Genotype«, which will come out one year after, is a 45-minute concept track. The approach of the album will be the same as »Phenotype«, but in a completely different context.

PM generated Child Work Orders

Recently, I got questions about why PM generated Child Work Orders from routes do not have PM (Preventive Maintenance) information populated. This is actually working by design. Only the work order the PM created references the PM on it. The children are created by the route stops, not the PM record. Hence, the child work orders would not contain have any PM information.

Source: Carrie Underwood, Albert Hall - review - Music - Arts - Evening StandardCarrie Underwood, Albert Hall - review (4 stars)
A country girl at home in the city
At first glance, Carrie Underwood, Americas latest sweetheart and winner of the 2005 series of American Idol (imagine The Voice but with viewers), seems made to appeal to mainstream white America, being Christian, country-tinged and Simon Fuller-managed. But look again: not only does she co-write most of her material but in real life she knowingly risked alienating her conservative fanbase by loudly supporting gay marriage.
Last night, as her fifth album, Blown Away, hurtles towards the British Top 10, Underwood made her UK debut, and what a good-natured triumph it was for the 21st-century Shania Twain, despite her unwillingness (or inability) to truly let herself go and dressing as if shed been told the Royal Albert Hall was a Taliban stronghold.
Backed by a supertight eight-piece band, she said all the right things, suggesting playing London was a watershed in our careers and lives and spurning overt religiosity in favour of daft platitudes: We never end up where we start; thats the point of life.
Her outlook may have been fortune-cookie but she was absorbingly watchable and a fabulous singer. There were nods to her country roots on the cover of Randy Traviss ballad I Told You So, yet she charged through the stomping pop-rock of Blown Aways title track far more meatily than youd expect from a vegan. Better still, Underwoods spine-tingling version of Coldplays Fix You showed she understood the song is both a tender comfort blanket and a gung-ho rock symphony. She even tangled with reggae-lite on the summery shuffle One Way Ticket without making a fool of herself.
Even more intriguing was her internal duel between the sacred and the secular. The lovely redemptive tale Jesus Take The Wheel climaxed with a glorious coda of the gospel standard How Great Thou Art, but in the raucous Last Name, our heroine comes follows a night of Las Vegas abandon, only to find herself married to a stranger.
Of such dilemmas are fascinating careers made. Carrie Underwood may be a mere competition winner but I suspect things are going to get really interesting from here.
Thanks for posting! Hummm...fifth album -- he goofed...
Not so sure about this guy's writing, but ok.
this writer is weird!
i dont like this writeup. the writer seems anti-carrie and that he was just forced to write something good coz he would look stupid if he doesnt
^^ I don't agree -the review of her singing and performance was good - he gave her 4 stars but he couldn't resist those stabs at the "other things" Carrie does or wears. I've never seen a Taliban woman wear pants like those - as I said before maybe Steven Tyler but it seemed to me those remarks were sort of thrown in without too much thought . I think he genuinely thought Carrie was great. Sort of like he was surprised she had such depth as an artist
Look at the positive side of his review "she was absorbingly watchable, Underwood's spine-tingling version of Coldplay's Fix You showed she understood the song is both a tender comfort blanket and a gung-ho rock symphony. She even tangled with reggae-lite on the summery shuffle One Way Ticket" (I don't like the next part) "without making a fool of herself." He also called Carrie the 21st century ShaniaTwain. All and all...not bad.
The review of the actual performance is positive. I guess the writer is in a snarky mood. He can't find anything bad to say about the performance, so he settled for the outfit.
I think the guy was trying to be witty.... total fail.
Actually that was a really good review!
The only comment that confused me was the Taliban reference. Huh??!!
But otherwise greAt review!
guys cmon, the taliban thing was offensive (extremely actually) but don't try and make this into a bad review. Tee's right. I think he genuinely does like her.
Guys, when Tee says something is good, we better believe it lol Nice review then!
Here is a comment (in the comment section of the link below) from someone who is familiar with this 'reporter':
The reviewer John Aizlewood is a snarky guy but if you read his other stuff, he can get REALLY snarky. For instance, check out his past articles for The Guardian, especially the articles he wrote about Lily Allen and James Blunt. For his view on reality shows, check out this article from 2008 where he said Adele and Duffy's next big thing status was the by product of Simon Cowell's reality shows.
Link: Carrie Underwood Covers Coldplay's "Fix You" - London (VIDEO)
The guy's was "trying" to be witty. He probably went to the concert thinking, "this American reality show winner, what does she have to show me". After Carrie knocked his socks off, he had to say
something snarky about her clothes. But, he had to admit, Carrie is one great singer.
Hmmm.....well, glad he liked it. Still, he is lacking in his writing skills. Sounds like a fifth grader wrote that, plus he copied a lot of phrases from another article. :/
Wow - you reckon? Interesting? Maybe, like hosting award shows? Membership of the Opry? Hey - maybe a few Grammys! A duet with Tony Bennett - oh, no, come on!. Still - things could get quite interesting. She could even go overseas and get asked about Simon Cowell's trousers."Carrie Underwood may be a mere competition winner but I suspect things are going to get really interesting from here."
Okay, first it's a POSITIVE review, and that's what matters, not what he thinks of her hot pants. I actually really appreciate writing like this (not THIS in particular), but articles that are completely positive, yet not even slightly kiss-a*s. He obviously loved the performance, and that's easily apparent. He has nothing but good things to say about her songs, her music, her cover, her voice and her behaviour and conduct. However, the tone of the article is pleasantly cynical and light. I approve!
I also appreciate that he's done a good job by devoting almost half the article to stuff about Carrie herself, rather than just talking about the concert, which is important when you're writing for a country that's just getting to know her.
And contrary to what people are suggesting here, he is a BLOODY good writer. Trust me, I'm not one to compliment easily - it's take a lot for me to admit that someone's better than I am when it comes to pen and paper. But this guy has his stuff together. Read some of the other articles he's written. He's a very skilled writer, very nearly as good as I am
As for the Taliban remark, I'm going to have to take a second look at those pants. I thought they were rather flashy (weren't they more like really dark stockings that flashed a LOT of leg?)
Even so, I don't think it's "offensive", per se. He thought was Carrie covered up (and unnaturally so, given that several of her songs go with some sexy-Shania outfits). The Taliban forces women to cover up, even if it's against their inclination.
He made a loose remark. It's not 'offensive", in that he isn't suggesting about the friggin' Taliban. But, yeah, I can definitely see it opening sore wounds, even though it seems harmless to me.
Sometimes humor and Wit are only funny or insightful to the person doing the typing..(I've been there many times) That being said ,far worse things have been printed about Carrie by many critics here in the states... So I'm gonna give this person a pass and accept the other great things he says about OUR GIRL....
