Legitimate. It's the word that could come to define the extremely expensive, extremely litigious aftermath of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. Almost from the beginning, BP has promised to pay what it calls all "legitimate" claims by people and businesses affected by the spill. But legitimate, when it's contained in a print ad as part of BP's new multimillion-dollar campaign or poshly pronounced by CEO Tony Hayward in one of the accompanying TV commercials, sounds very different from the way it sounds coming out of the mouth of a bayou shrimper in Venice, La. What constitutes legitimate is still an open question.
At the very least though, it looks like BP won't be the only one who gets to decide. A day after demanding that the company turn over data about its financial-claim payment process, the Coast Guard reported that BP had pledged to expedite payment to affected businesses in the Gulf. "BP recognized that its previous approach of waiting until after the books have closed for each month to calculate losses will not work," Tracy Wareing of the Federal Emergency Management Agency said at a news conference Thursday. "It won't get dollars quickly enough to the businesses that are struggling on the ground."
And reports are filtering back from Louisiana that BP's lost oil seems to be flowing a lot faster than its cash. David Camardelle, the mayor of Grand Isle in southeastern Louisiana, told a hearing of a subcommittee of the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee that he knew of 37 applications from his community still waiting for their $5,000 claims check from BP. "Every day, I have a mom that comes in front of me and asks me, 'Mr. David, how am I going to get food for my kids,'" Camardelle said. "Please, please send us some help."
BP has said that it has already paid over $80 million in claims to more than 10,000 individuals in Louisiana, Florida, Alabama and Mississippi, with more coming soon. The company also says that it has opened scores of claims centers around the affected coastline, and that it is trying to process claims in a few days at most. "We'll do this until it's finished," said Darryl Willis, vice president of resources for BP America, in a teleconference with reporters over the weekend.
To aid the company in speeding the payment process, Alabama is considering assigning National Guard troops to work at claims centers a uniquely effective lever only the government can use. But the very nature of how many people work on the Gulf Coast is going to trump the number that will be answering phones and processing documents. And the very nature of the fishing industry won't help either. Fishing can bring in a lot of money in a very short period of time during the right season, but fishermen might be hard-pressed to provide evidence bank statements, pay stubs that can back that up. The same goes for many other businesses: if receipts are dwindling at a restaurant, or guests are cancelling at a resort, how is it possible to prove that the spill alone is responsible? "We're stuck in the middle," says Chris Camardelle, whose seafood restaurant in Grand Isle has been badly hurt by the oil spill. "So it's a tricky situation."

The Republican Party was born in the early 1850's by anti-slavery activists and individuals who believed that government should grant western lands to settlers free of charge. The first informal meeting of the party took place in Ripon, Wisconsin, a small town northwest of Milwaukee. The first official Republican meeting took place on July 6th, 1854 in Jackson, Michigan. The name "Republican" was chosen because it alluded to equality and reminded individuals of Thomas Jefferson's Democratic-Republican Party. At the Jackson convention, the new party adopted a platform and nominated candidates for office in Michigan.
In 1856, the Republicans became a national party when John C. Fremont was nominated for President under the slogan: "Free soil, free labor, free speech, free men, Fremont." Even though they were considered a "third party" because the Democrats and Whigs represented the two-party system at the time, Fremont received 33% of the vote. Four years later, Abraham Lincoln became the first Republican to win the White House.
The Civil War erupted in 1861 and lasted four grueling years. During the war, against the advice of his cabinet, Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation that freed the slaves. The Republicans of the day worked to pass the Thirteenth Amendment, which outlawed slavery, the Fourteenth, which guaranteed equal protection under the laws, and the Fifteenth, which helped secure voting rights for African-Americans.
The Republican Party also played a leading role in securing women the right to vote. In 1896, Republicans were the first major party to favor women's suffrage. When the 19th Amendment finally was added to the Constitution, 26 of 36 state legislatures that had voted to ratify it were under Republican control. The first woman elected to Congress was a Republican, Jeanette Rankin from Montana in 1917.
Presidents during most of the late nineteenth century and the early part of the twentieth century were Republicans. The White House was in Republican hands under Presidents Eisenhower, Nixon, Ford, Reagan and Bush. Under the last two, Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, the United States became the world's only superpower, winning the Cold War from the old Soviet Union and releasing millions from Communist oppression. Behind all the elected officials and the candidates of any political party are thousands of hard-working staff and volunteers who raise money, lick the envelopes, and make the phone calls that every winning campaign must have. The national structure of our party starts with the Republican National Committee. Each state has its own Republican State Committee with a Chairman and staff. The Republican structure goes right down to the neighborhoods, where a Republican precinct captain every Election Day organizes Republican workers to get out the vote.
Most states ask voters when they register to express party preference. Voters don't have to do so, but registration lists let the parties know exactly which voters they want to be sure vote on Election Day. Just because voters register as a Republican, they don't need to vote that way – many voters split their tickets, voting for candidates in both parties. But the national party is made up of all registered Republicans in all 50 states. They are the heart and soul of the party. Republicans have a long and rich history with basic principles: Individuals, not government, can make the best decisions; all people are entitled to equal rights; and decisions are best made close to home.
The symbol of the Republican Party is the elephant. During the mid term elections way back in 1874, Democrats tried to scare voters into thinking President Grant would seek to run for an unprecedented third term. Thomas Nast, a cartoonist for Harper's Weekly, depicted a Democratic jackass trying to scare a Republican elephant – and both symbols stuck. For a long time Republicans have been known as the "G.O.P." And party faithfuls thought it meant the "Grand Old Party." But apparently the original meaning (in 1875) was "gallant old party." And when automobiles were invented it also came to mean, "get out and push." That's still a pretty good slogan for Republicans who depend every campaign year on the hard work of hundreds of thousands of volunteers to get out and vote and push people to support the causes of the Republican Party.
Republicans fought to abolish slavery, give blacks equal rights and then the vote. Many Republican politicians risked their careers on that period's "third rail" of politics. In fact, many blacks even held elected office and were influential in state legislatures. And, in 1869, the first blacks entered Congress as members of the Republican Party, establishing a trend that was not broken until 1935 when the first black Democrat finally was elected to Congress.
Meanwhile, Republicans continued being elected to the White House. In 1868, Civil War hero Ulysses S. Grant won the presidency easily and was re-elected in 1872. Although he seemed a bit bewildered by the transition from the military life of a general to being president, under Grant the Republican commitment to sound money policies continued, and the Department of Justice and the Weather Bureau were established. The Republicans in Congress continued to boldly set the agenda, and in 1870 they proposed and passed the 15th Amendment, which guaranteed voting rights regardless of race, creed or previous condition of servitude. Setting another precedent two years later, the Republican Congress turned its sights toward women's issues and authorized equal pay for equal work performed by women employed by federal agencies.
It was around this time that the symbol of the elephant for the Republican Party was created by Thomas Nast, a famous illustrator and caricaturist for The New Yorker. In 1874, a rumor that animals had escaped from the New York City Zoo coincided with worries surrounding a possible third-term run by Grant. Nast chose to represent the Republicans as elephants because elephants were clever, steadfast and controlled when calm, yet unmanageable when frightened.
But, embracing a tradition established by George Washington and the Republican Party, which had gone on record opposing a third term for any president, President Grant did not run for re-election in 1876. Instead, in one of the most bitterly disputed elections in American history, Republican Rutherford B. Hayes won the presidency by the margin of one electoral vote. After the election, cooperation between the White House and the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives was nearly impossible. Nevertheless, Hayes managed to keep his campaign promises. He cautiously withdrew federal troops from the South to allow them to shake off the psychological yoke of being a conquered land, took measures to reverse the myriad inequalities suffered by women in that period and adopted the merit system within the civil service.
Not surprisingly, the Republican appeal held in 1880 when the party won its sixth consecutive presidential election with the election of the Civil War hero James A. Garfield and also managed to regain small majorities in both the House and the Senate. Following Garfield's assassination, Chester A. Arthur succeeded to the Oval Office and, in 1883, oversaw the passage of the Pendleton Act through Congress. This bill classified about 10 percent of all government jobs and created a bipartisan Civil Service Commission to prepare and administer competitive examinations for these positions. As dreary as this bill sounds, it was important because it made at least part of the government bureaucracy a professional work force.
Suddenly the Republicans' fortunes changed, and embarking on a decade-long period of quick reversals, the Republicans lost the 1884 election. But by this time the party had firmly established itself as a permanent force in American politics by not only preserving the Union and leading the nation through the Reconstruction, but by also striking a chord of greater personal autonomy within the national psyche. Yet while the presidency was regained for one term with the 1888 election of Benjamin Harrison, with the re-emergence of the South from the destruction of the Civil War the Republicans were shut out for the first time since the Civil War in the election of 1892, as the Democrats won control of the House, the Senate and the presidency.
Republican voters returned to their party with the 1896 election, electing William McKinley to the White House. His term was the start of a consecutive four-term Republican possession of the White House.

After working on Tonka at Funrise Toys for nearly 3 years, it's time to head out into the great frontier of toy design. Being laid off fits no one's hopes and dreams for the future, however I can't deny that it does bring about excitement of what it to come. Working at Funrise was a great experience, filled with fond memories of fantastically talented people. I'll definitely miss all those familiar faces.
As my professional journey continues, I'll be exploring both full time and freelance opportunities. I've been tapping old friends and contacts, and I have to admit that I probably wouldn't be speaking with them so soon if life were not pushing me in their direction -which is a wonderful thing. They have all been so encouraging and supportive, it's been fantastic catching up with all of them. Special thanks to Gerry Cody and Mike Finizza over at Mattel who have already helped beyond my expectations.
I'll be updating what's up with me on this blog in the future so come on back now 'ya hear?!

Honolulu's Cafe 8 1/2 would like for you to know that if you voted for Trump then, (1) you're not welcome in their establishment and (2) you're likely a Nazi. The tiny "eclectic mom-and-pop restaurant" is drawing a lot of attention after posting the following bright yellow sign in their window:
"If you voted for Trump you cannot eat here! No Nazis."
The sign obviously rattled some Trump supporters who told Fox News the message "is discriminatory, and harkens back to the 'racist and hate-filled' days before statehood."
"It's childish and very unprofessional," she said in an email. "… The restaurant owner doesn't have to worry ... I will not be stepping foot in that establishment."
Willes Lee, former chairman of the Hawaii Republican Party and now president of National Federation of Republican Assemblies, told FoxNews.com the sign is discriminatory, and harkens back to "racist and hate-filled" days before statehood.
"Remember when Filipinos couldn't go in certain places, or Japanese wouldn't be allowed [in] many homes? And, it didn't matter who they voted for," said Lee, who is of Japanese descent.
"People should be able to get food without hearing a political message," one apparent former customer wrote on Yelp. "I will never go back."
Apparently, so many people lashed out at the sign on Yelp that the administrators had to post the following "Active Cleanup Alert" to notify everyone that they would be joining other Silicon Valley companies in censoring unsavory comments from Trump supporters.
Not terribly surprisingly, the restaurant was founded by a couple formerly hailing from the liberal bastion of San Francisco. But don't worry, one owner confirmed to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser that even if you're wearing a Trump shirt they "don't put anything different [in] your food"...which we think is Hawaiian for "we spit in your food excessively."
According to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, the café was founded by Robert Warner, a former hair stylist for Vidal Sassoon in San Francisco and former restaurateur in Seattle, along with his wife Jali.
Reached for comment Tuesday, Jali downplayed the sign's supposed ban. She told FoxNews.com the restaurant is not actually asking customers whether they voted for President-elect Trump, and said even if they see a customer with a Trump shirt, "we don't put anything different [in] your food."
"Robert just wants to express how much he doesn't like Trump," Jali said. "If people take it personally or it hurts them, we cannot help. That's why we say they have [a] choice if they want to come or not come. We don't force them."
Nothing like punishing 50% of the population which you deem to be intolerant by practicing some intolerance of your own.

What more fitting end could there have been to Cruz's political career than Trump blowing into town and fumbling away a reelection bid for him that was in the bag? Between that and the 2016 primaries, it would have been Shakespearean tragedy.
Well, Shakespearean comedy, at least.
I don't buy that the big rally with Trump in late October cost him anything. And if it did, it was negligible.
Kavanaugh's eventual confirmation, which came amid sexual assault allegations, energized red-state Republicans and helped give Cruz a desperately needed boost against O'Rourke, with Cruz's lead in his campaign's internal polling climbing into the low teens by the time they met for their Oct. 16 debate in San Antonio…
The early voting period kicked off Oct. 22 with Trump's rally for Cruz, which was held at the Toyota Center in Houston. Trump's campaign claimed over 100,000 people requested tickets for the event, and local news showed long lines of people waiting to get into the 18,000-seat arena hours in advance.
But if Cruz was looking for a boost from his former rival, the opposite appeared to happen. Before Trump's visit, Cruz's internal numbers had him leading by double digits statewide. In the days after, his lead dropped to 5 points.
From double digits to five points in a week, with POTUS's visit the most noteworthy event in the interim. Quite an impact, and it brings the total number of possible explanations for Betomania! up to four:
1. The progressive explanation: Everyone loves unvarnished progressivism, even/especially Texans! Beto gave it to 'em in its purest form.
2. The Obama 2.0 explanation: Progressivism was the garnish. Beto was a phenomenon because he married personal charisma to appealing hopey-changey kumbaya blather.
3. The anti-Cruz explanation: Beto was a good candidate and Cruz is a flawed one at best. He's not all that likable, he's viewed suspiciously by both centrist Republicans and Trumpers, and his personal brand of Reagan-esque conservatism is outdated, to put it mildly.
4. The new one, the anti-Trump explanation: Democrats hate POTUS and Texans generally aren't all that wild about him. Having him show up in the state to campaign was like waving a red cape before a bull. It woke up the anti-Trumpers. Here's what I wrote on August 31, the day the Cruz/Trump rally was announced.
Will the Trumps stumping for Cruz do more to turn out Texas Republicans or Texas Democrats? If you assume that Texas Dems are already as motivated as they can be by Betomania, then it makes sense as a turnout motivator on the right. If you believe, however, that a meaningful number of centrists are open to voting Cruz but are leery of POTUS, then maybe it backfires. Cruz is calculating that there aren't a meaningful number — which is probably true.
Emphasis on "probably." Trump's numbers in Texas have never been stellar despite its reputation as a Republican stronghold. The last poll of his approval taken by UT-Austin had him at 48/45. The last time Quinnipiac polled Texas it was 51/46. According to CNN's exit poll of Texans on Tuesday, among those who showed up to vote it was … 49/49. Cruz ended up winning the race 51/48. If the last few jobs reports hadn't been as strong as they were, if Trump had indulged his instincts and fired Mueller at some point this summer, who'd be the Senator-elect from Texas today?
But wait. The theory in the story quoted above is that Cruz's polls suddenly took a turn after the rally with Trump on October 22nd, right? Well, here's the last two months of public polling in Texas via RCP:
Both candidates saw their support climb after the Kavanaughpocalypse during the first week of October, although Cruz's climbed more steeply — and then never let up, steady all the way through the rally with Trump to Election Day. His final total of 51.3 percent in RCP's average almost perfectly predicted his final share of the vote on Tuesday, 50.8 percent. Beto's polling didn't begin to inch up until the very end of October, a week after the Trump rally, which is more easily explained as late deciders opting for the ultra-hyped challenger than as a direct reaction to Trump's visit.
Alternate theory, then: Cruz's double-digit lead over Beto in mid-October was nothing more than a local backlash to the Kavanaugh wars that was destined to fade. Here's a list of public polling of Texas from FiveThirtyEight in reverse chronological order. Note the dates of each one, and the margins.
Follow the last link if you like and scroll through FiveThirtyEight's entire set of Texas polling. Dating back into July, Cruz's lead was frequently in the four-point range. As you can see, as of the beginning of October, it was still four points or so. Then came Kavanaugh and suddenly several polls showed him bouncing out to leads of eight or nine. By October 21st, though — the day before the Trump rally — he was already polling again in the four-point range. As enticing as it is for Trump skeptics (a group which I'm sure includes many a Cruz advisor) to pin Cruz's downturn on Trump, the more prosaic explanation is likely the correct one: Cruz never had much of a lead in Texas. He was reliably ahead the whole way because it's still a reddish state but his lead only briefly touched landslide margins after the Kavanaugh fiasco momentarily pushed some voters away from O'Rourke. The backlash faded and in the end the four-point status quo prevailed, with a slightly tighter margin than expected probably due to last-minute voters opting for Beto. Trump may well have hurt Cruz but almost certainly not because of one rally. It was 20 months of Trumpiness that had already been priced into voters' choices that helped turbo-charge the Beto juggernaut.
One more bit from the Texas Tribune story quoted above. I've written several times since Tuesday about pundits bickering over why O'Rourke fell just short. Would he have won if he had run a more centrist campaign, possibly attracting more votes from moderate Republicans? Or would he have actually lost votes on balance that way, since some progressives who were thrilled to see Beto run as a true-blue liberal would have given up on him if he'd started pandering to the right? The Texas Tribune notes that Beto actually did reach out to Republicans — sort of:
Another case that Cruz's advisers made in the wake of the election: O'Rourke never challenged them for GOP voters in a serious way. On that point, the record is less than straightforward: O'Rourke broadly appealed to Republicans through his 254-county blitz of the state, visiting GOP strongholds long neglected by Democrats and talking about issues he believed united both parties.
"He consciously went for everybody," [O'Rourke chief of staff David] Wysong said. "It was a substantial part of his stump speech, but he also said what he believed. I think he was being honest to who he is. I think the way this was done was more of him just being honest and transparent about what he believes than, 'Oh wait, here was this little group I need to talk to in this way to get them excited.'"
He wouldn't take centrist positions to pander to Republicans but he would show up in their neighborhoods to ask for their votes, believing that some soft righties might prefer a friendly liberal who stands up for his beliefs to a more obviously calculating politician like Cruz. There's no way to resolve whether that approach netted him more votes than he would have gotten if he'd been willing to pander more on the issues. But here's a notable county-level result from Tuesday's Texas results:
Perhaps the biggest underreported news out of Texas last night is what happened in the largest reliably red county in Texashttps://t.co/EbPMd0wsaP pic.twitter.com/DvuJk9E0QK
— Aman Batheja (@amanbatheja) November 7, 2018
O'Rourke very narrowly won the Republican stronghold of Tarrant County, which encompasses Ft. Worth. It was rural voters who pushed Cruz over the top. Even some major red cities went for Beto.
According to CNN, he met with his senior aides on Wednesday to discuss the future. One source claims that he's had "very initial discussions" with O'Rourke about what a 2020 presidential campaign might look like. Exit quotation via Jeff Roe, Cruz's chief strategist: "He used a fog machine at his concession speech. He ain't done."

House Passes PEPFAR Stewardship And Oversight Act; President Expected To Sign Bill
"The House on Tuesday cleared legislation that would extend for five years certain authorities related to federal efforts to combat HIV and AIDS around the world, sending the bill to the president's desk," CQ Roll Call reports (Kim/Tomkin, 11/19). "Members passed S. 1545, the PEPFAR Stewardship and Oversight Act, in a voice vote," The Hill's "Floor Action" blog notes, adding, "President Obama is likely to be in a position to sign the bill into law as early as this week, as the Senate passed the same bill on Monday" (Kasperowicz, 11/19). "In the House, Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Ed Royce and ranking Democrat Eliot Engel both backed the bill," the Associated Press/ABC News writes (Jackson, 11/20). Additional information on the bill is available from the Kaiser Family Foundation's "Policy Tracker" (11/18).

World Oral Health Day 2013 – Why The Mouth Is A Gateway To Your Body
Oral health is critical to our well-being and yet too many of us take it for granted. Despite decades worth of research linking oral health to systemic health, far too many people remain unaware of the importance in maintaining good oral health. A quick search on the internet reveals millions of articles discussing the link between gum disease and major chronic diseases such as cancer, stroke, heart disease, diabetes, pre-diabetes, arthritis, pre-term births etc. Gum disease is the most prevalent human infection with little progress being made.
No one would walk around with with chronically bleeding fingernails or pus-filled scabs on their arms, but because gums are hidden from view, most people will ignore their symptoms until it is too late and much damage has been done. Why is this? Studies have demonstrated the general unwillingness to address chronic gum disease when up to 70% of patients diagnosed with gum disease failed to get treatment due primarily to cost and fear of pain. (It can be assumed that 100% of those undiagnosed are not seeking treatment and this may represent about half of the population). Read more »

Some girls just love to have fun no matter where they are. Sunny Leone is one of those vixens!

Rick Owens's name may be the one stamped on the designer's current exhibition of furniture at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, but it's his longtime wife and business partner, Michèle Lamy, who's to credit for his stepping into design in the first place—and she still is responsible for the prototyping of his work and overseeing day-to-day production in the outskirts of Paris. While their joint venture has led to a few minor points of contention over the years—the pair doesn't always agree on, say, rock-crystal toilets—it's also been very fruitful, making for the Brutalist spread of camel-fur seats and troglodytic blocks now on view at MOCA, which Lamy was heading up installation of on a recent afternoon. She took a break from moving two-ton stone slabs around a gallery to share her culture diet, featuring everything from her pal A$AP Rocky to the scissor lift she's had her eye on, here.

Our mission is to make our customers successful as it relates to all things inventory in the digital economy.
Kansas City, Mo. – DSI announced today that DiversiTech® Corporation has expanded their partnership with DSI. DiversiTech has acquired several companies and will extend their investment into the DSI platform to make all the acquisitions run under the same ERP system.
Founded in 1971, DiversiTech is North America's largest manufacturer of equipment pads and a leading manufacturer and supplier of components and related products for the heating, ventilating, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVACR) industry. Headquartered in the Atlanta, GA, metropolitan area, DiversiTech's mission for its wholesaler partners is to simplify the way they work. The company is focused on growth through internal product development, external partnerships and acquisition.
DiversiTech maintains over 1 million square feet of manufacturing and distribution space in key U.S., Canadian and European locations. DiversiTech has acquired industry-recognized brand names including Wagner® Manufacturing, Cliplight®, E Lite®, EcoPad®, The Black Pad®, Quick-Sling® and Super Seal™.
Prior to this expansion, DiversiTech had an on-premise deployment with integrations into JDE EnterpriseOne and used DSI to track inventory in their warehouses. DiversiTech's rapid growth over the past two years led to new challenges, and a new scalable solution was needed to address them.
DiversiTech's main transactions are directed pick, directed putaway, replenishments, shipping, zone picking, inventory adjustments, cycle counts, inventory issues, pallet tracking and putaways. DSI solutions will help optimize these processes and in turn improve their customer experience. DiversiTech is also able to integrate DSI's solution directly to their printing software and boost productivity in process that previously had limited functionality.
"DSI's ability to scale with our company's growth made them the obvious choice when looking for a way to incorporate our acquisitions into DiversiTech," said Keith Scott, Director of Information and Infrastructure Technology, DiversiTech. "We're looking forward to expanding these solutions that have proven success within our organization."
The expansion will provide many benefits to DiversiTech, including allowing the same IT group to manage inventory transactions across all of the divisions.
"DSI's expansion capabilities within organizations makes us the right solution for DiversiTech's needs," said Mark Goode, Chief Operating Officer, DSI. "Our partnership with DiversiTech, which spans more than a decade, will continue to be a positive one that supports their growth."

Disclosure Requirements - Slovak Republic
Disclosure Category: 3
Background and legal basis
The basis for the disclosure obligation derives from the Act on Securities and Investment Services (n° 566/2001) and from the Stock Exchange Act (no 429/2002), as amended.
The Act on Securities and Investment Services of 2001 sets up a disclosure obligation at the level of the local CSD, upon request of the issuer.
Furthermore, the Stock Exchange Act of 2002 provides for an obligation to report threshold crossings, which falls on the shareholder (in this case, CBL, in whose name the shares are registered in the Slovak Republic).
Obligation to report threshold crossings
When a shareholder acquires or disposes of shares of an issuer whose shares are admitted to trading on a regulated market and to which voting rights are attached, the shareholder shall notify the issuer of the proportion of voting rights held by the shareholder as a result of the acquisition or disposal where that proportion reaches, exceeds or falls below the thresholds of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 50% and 75%, and within four business days after the date that the voting rights were acquired.
The information that the shareholder provides to the issuer must be filed with the National Bank of Slovakia (NBS) at the same time.
Failure to comply with the provisions of the Stock Exchange Act of 2002 or other generally binding legal regulations may entitle the NBS, according to the nature, severity, degree of culpability, manner, duration of the unlawful action and its consequences, to:
- Impose measures for removing and remedying the shortcomings found;
- Cancel a stock exchange transaction;
- Order a stock exchange or an issuer to publish a correction of incomplete, incorrect or untrue information that the stock exchange or issuer published on the basis of a statutory duty;
- Order a stock exchange to end unlicensed activity;
- Impose a fine of up to EUR 10 million or up to 5% of total annual turnover according to the last available annual accounts approved by the management body, or up to twice the amount of the profits gained or losses avoided because of the breach, where those can be determined, whichever is higher; where the legal entity is a parent undertaking or a subsidiary of a parent undertaking which has to prepare consolidated financial accounts, the relevant total turnover shall be the total annual turnover or the corresponding type of income according to the last available consolidated annual accounts approved by the management body of the ultimate parent undertaking;
- Limit its activity or suspend its licence for a maximum of one year;
- Withdraw a licence;
- Issue a public statement indicating the natural person or the legal entity responsible and the nature of the breach;
- Impose a fine in the case of a natural person, of up to EUR 2 million or up to twice the amount of the profits gained or losses avoided because of the breach, where those can be determined, whichever is higher.
The NBS may also suspend the rights of voting in respect of a person whose operation concerning a stock exchange is to the detriment of the due and prudent business conduct of the stock exchange.

You can also download and print the application and mail it to us at: 306 Foundation, P.O. Box 2643, Winter Park, FL 32790. Call us at 407-470-0741 if you have any issues.

Recently remodelled in 2012 and showing off elegant and sophisticated designs throughout, the River Countess has been cruising the River Po in Italy since 2013. Enjoy an unforgettable Italian adventure with the help of this luxurious Uniworld ship, offering top-quality amenities across four decks, including extra touches including a pizza oven to complement its new itineraries.
The River Countess offers an intimate experience, thanks to the maximum capacity of 130 guests. The 41 staff onboard, including the dedicated Uniworld Cruise Manager, are English-speaking, meaning that cruises appeal to English-speaking clientele – the majority of which tend to be from the USA, Canada, Australia and the UK.
Itineraries onboard appeal to a predominantly retired holidaymaker, who is well-travelled and may have enjoyed other river cruises previously. Most guests travel as couples or friends, but solo travellers find the cruises enticing, too.
The main dining venue – the Savoy Restaurant – can be found on the Marco Polo Deck and offers open seating at set times. It is here where breakfast, lunch and dinner are held, which take inspiration from continental cuisine as well as Italian specialities. A buffet station is available for both breakfast and lunch, with other dishes available to order at no extra charge. Dinner takes the form of a four-course meal showcasing authentic Italian fare, with other traditional options including steak and chicken also available.
Alternatively, guests can enjoy lighter meals, and pizza from the new pizza oven, in the Osteria Siena Salon Sky Lounge, situated on the Sun Deck, which offers a glass-enclosed conservatory-style space where you can fully appreciate the phenomenal views. The Captain's Lounge is an intimate and exclusive space, where up to 24 guests can enjoy private dining – booking is essential. The Il Castillo bar and lounge also serves up snacks including sandwiches and cookies every afternoon. Suite passengers can opt to have breakfast served in their suites thanks to the room service.
Fare prices on most Uniworld cruises include unlimited fine wine, beer, spirits, soft drinks and mineral water. Higher-end wines and premium spirits may carry an additional charge. A 24-hour hot beverage station is available onboard, where guests can choose from a range of traditional and speciality teas and coffees.
The Il Castillo Lounge is located on the Marco Polo Deck and boasts a full-service bar. Here, guests can enjoy socialising with fellow travellers throughout the day, taking in the panoramic views as they relax. After dinner, passengers can sample the lounge's evening entertainment, which can include local performances, music and dance, which represent the culture and heritage of the region.
Guests can also look forward to cocktail receptions, as well as welcome and farewell dinners, as part of every itinerary.
The Captain's Lounge doubles as a well-stocked library which offers a perfect place to read or play a game of bridge. There is also a boutique onboard, and an Internet corner situated on the Bellini Deck.
There is an enrichment programme included in every itinerary, offering a range of interesting activities including Signature Lectures on topics such as 'La Serenissima: The Lagoon of Venice'. You can also enjoy presentations by wine experts, among other delights.
As with all river cruises, the River Countess' shore excursions are a major draw. Guided tours are available, with the help of a local expert, and Quietvox audio headsets ensure guests won't miss a word of their narrative, even if they are at the back of the group. The 'Choice is Yours' programme ensures each guest has at least one appealing option in every port – often more than that. 'Do as the Locals Do' offers exclusive experiences, and 'gentle walking' and 'go active' excursions mean guests of all fitness levels can make the most of what the regions have to offer. There are also complimentary Nordic walking sticks available for use.
There are four 214 sq. ft. suites and 61 151 sq. ft. staterooms onboard. Suites and Category 1 staterooms feature French balconies, while remaining categories (Two to Five) include large picture windows. Common amenities across the board include handcrafted Savoir of England beds, 100% Egyptian cottons, European duvets, pillow choice, built-in wardrobes, private marble bathroom with plush bathrobes and premium L'Occitane bath products, hairdryer, in-room safe, telephone, climate control, flatscreen TV with satellite channels and infotainment and bottled water.
In addition, suites include special services and amenities, including a daily fruit and cookie plate, DVD player, iPod dock, Nespresso coffee machine, fully stocked minibar, wine on arrival, shoe shine and free laundry service.
The Bellini Deck features a sauna, fitness centre and Serenity River Spa. All of which are adequately-sized and serviced by professionals. The Sun Deck also features plenty of sunloungers, chairs and tables, where guests can relax and unwind while soaking up the Italian sunshine and the glorious views. The Sun Deck is also home to shuffleboard and giant chess, and it's not uncommon to find morning yoga sessions if you like to start your day in this way.
The River Countess currently offers two exciting itineraries, including the 'Gems of Northern Italy' and 'Splendours of Italy' voyages. Both of which can be extended to include a two night land stay in Milan, if you wish.
The 'Gems of Northern Italy' is an eight day sail to and from Venice, and offers featured excursions such as walking tours of Venice, Padua and Bologna. Guests can sign up for a visit to a pasta making workshop or an exclusive evening opening of St. Mark's Basilica. Alternatively, you could enjoy a mussel harvest experience in Chioggia, or an Islands of Venice tour which includes lace making in Burano and wine tasting in Mazzorbo.
The 13 day 'Splendours of Italy' itinerary mirrors the above itinerary, but extends to include Florence and Rome. Highlights of these extra days include a guided accademia tour with a visit to Michelangelo's David, an 'Architectural Treasures of Renaissance Florence' walking tour, chianti tasting and lunch at a wine estate, and an 'Imperial Rome and Heart of the City' walking discovery tour which includes the chance to see the Trevi fountain, Spanish Steps, Pantheon, St Peter's Basilica and the Colosseum. Guests can also join a guided Vatican museums visit and trip to the infamous Sistine Chapel.

Employment Law
Employment Lawyers Can Answer Your Employment Law Questions
, my name is ***** ***** it is my pleasure to assist you with your question today. How long have you worked company?
since 2009
Thank you. I just need a few minutes to prepare my answer.
this is not quick enough
, you have paid Medium urgency answer, I also can't just do the required research and type uo an answer i the space of just 10 minutes
I won't be much longer but if you don't want to wait then let me know and I can close this question
no want to wait please, im just upset about the situation at work
no problem, will respond asap
An employer does not have to allow its employees to apply internal vacancies. There is no general right to be given the opportunity to apply and if the employer has a policy where it does not allow existing employees to apply they are not doing anything illegal. The only time this may become an issue is if the reasons you are not allowed to apply are linked to certain 'protected characteristics', in which case it can be discriminatory. These are gender, age, race, religion, disability but if none of these are relevant to the employer's decision then it would not be discriminatory and they can still apply a policy where they do not allow internal candidates to apply. As this job was not given to you on the understanding that it would be a permanent position then unless the employer confirms you have been permanently placed in it, or if you have worked in it prolonged period of time on the understanding it is permanent (years rather than months), you cannot claim permanent rights to it unfortunately.
can i refuse then not to cover the position with no repusions
does your contract state you can be asked to do this?
i work bakey and I have read all about them they advertise all sorts
how long have you worked there for?
6 years
if your contract does not state you can be asked to cover other jobs or take on additional tasks then you cannot be forced to do so. If you have initially agreed to do this unspecified period then you can refuse to continue doing so although it may not necessarily take effect immediately as the employer may need some notice to be able to find someone else to take your place
I get paid weekly so i could give them a weeks notice
how often you get paid does not have any influence on this, the notice period may be longer if the employer is not able to find someone sooner but at the same time it should be reasonable, so not a couple of months
I cannot get sacked this then
no as you do not appear to be breaching your contract, also you have more than 2 years service so you are protected against unfair dismissal, meaning the employer has to show there was a fair reason and follow a fair procedure
Please let me know if this has answered your original question or if you need me to clarify anything else in relation to this? Thanks

We have been told by the owner of the hotel that back in the day our delegates used to have a sherry before dinner and discuss papers around the open fire! We look forward to re-creating that ambiance, looking back at how things were and hearing how psychological research has developed in Ireland and across the world by our members over the years.
As our keynotes are agreed we will keep you up to date on the programme via our membership email announcement list. Our Post Graduate and Early Career prize and our Poster prize return again in 2017 and we also encourage final year undergraduate students to submit posters in a new prize category.
Compassion for Voices - Science and Application
Dr Charlie Heriot-Maitland
In 2015, Charlie and his collaborators released a short film called 'Compassion for Voices' (compassionforvoices.com) with the support of funding from the Compassionate Mind Foundation, Medical Research Council, King's College London, and Balanced Minds. Since then, the film has been viewed numerous times on YouTube, translated into different languages, featured in TV documentaries, and has been widely used as a resource for education, training, and therapy in mental health. But what is really going on in this film? What are the ideas behind it? What can we do with these ideas to actually improve our relationships to voices? In this talk, Charlie will explore the scientific understandings and research behind each aspect of the film, and will then demonstrate how these can be translated into real-life practices, techniques, and experiences for voice-hearers.
How to promote community wellbeing... and why it's important
Professor Peter Kinderman, President, The British Psychological Society
The Community Wellbeing evidence programme, one of four funded by the What Works Centre for Wellbeing and the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), Public Health England and other partners, including government departments, is a consortium including the University of Liverpool, along with Sheffield University, Leeds Beckett University, Durham University, Goldsmiths, University of London, the New Economics Foundation, Happy City, the Centre for Local Economic Strategies, and Social Life Ltd and Locality. The ultimate aim of this research is to enable policy-makers, local authorities, employers and others to use evidence of wellbeing impact in decision making and to improve people's lives, by translating academic evaluation of wellbeing measures into easy-to-use information about effectiveness, cost and applicability. This presentation will set out the political and scientific background to the Government's wellbeing programme, the role of the 'what works centres' and the part that psychology and psychologists can play in this ambitious initiative.
What Works Research, Evidence-Informed Practice and the Importance of Systematic Reviews
Professor Paul Connolly
This presentation takes a critical look at the notion of 'what works research' and how it is continuing to shape debates regarding evidence-informed practice. Drawing upon examples from the work of the Centre for Evidence and Social Innovation (CESI) at Queen's, it will consider some of the key issues and challenges associated with the increasing use of randomised controlled trials in education and social care. One particular issue that will be explored within this is the risk of relying on the findings of single trials. The importance of systematic reviews for mitigating such a risk will be discussed alongside their potential for developing a more nuanced and critical realist approach to evidence-informed practice. The presentation will conclude by introducing the work of the international Campbell Collaboration and outlining plans for the establishment of a national Campbell Centre for the UK and Ireland, to be hosted by CESI.
The British Psychological Society Northern Ireland Branch (NIBPS) is pleased to be partnering with The Psychological Society of Ireland (PSI) in co-hosting a joint Public Lecture to open the NIBPS 2017 Annual Conference at Ballymascanlon House Hotel, Dundalk, Co Louth on Wednesday 22 March 2017 at 7pm. We are also working on an exhibition promoting local relevant health services related to the series of talks. Confirmation of the exhibition timing will be advised through booking reminders but the exhibition is anticipated to start at 6pm. Light refreshments will be served.
This event brings together a group of presentations that illustrates the importance of promoting wellbeing and mental health at every stage of life and how the way we respond to the challenges that life presents can make a big difference to how we feel, think and behave.
In the opening paper Dr Nichola Doherty from the Western Health & Social Care Trust will discuss how positive parenting can influence the health and wellbeing of both parents and children.
Next Dr Gavin Breslin from the School of Sport at Ulster University will speak about his research into how community participation in sport can enhance wellbeing.
Dr Liz Simpson also from Ulster University will bring us up to date with her research on how the effects of menopause on women's wellbeing can be more effectively managed.
Finally Dr Frank Doyle from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland will discuss how feelings, thoughts and behaviour impact on wellbeing in older people.
Further information and abstracts can be found here.
This session is free to attend and open to the general public. If you would like to join us please follow the 'click here to book your place' link below, register your details and select the Open Public Event: Promoting Wellbeing and Mental Health booking option.
As part of the NIBPS 2017 Annual Conference we are hosting an Undergraduate Student Session. We are inviting undergraduate students to present posters or a 10 minute talk on psychology research they've done as part of their studies (e.g. a group research project or final year thesis research). This is a valuable opportunity to practice presenting psychological research for any upcoming presentations, as well as to receive feedback from Psychologists attending the conference.
Undergraduate Students presenting a poster or giving a talk will receive a discount on the conference fee which includes lunch, and afternoon refreshments. To take advantage of this opportunity simply submit a 250 word abstract outlining the research you will be presenting. To ensure your submission meets the necessary standards and for further information please refer to the NIBPS Undergraduate Submission Policy before emailing it to email@example.com.
This workshop will explore the contemporary challenges of meeting the educational demands of the modern learner, with particular emphasis on how we can help communicate knowledge of Psychology to others. In a world where teaching and educational skills are becoming increasingly important for careers both within academia and beyond, we will look at what is possible beyond the traditional didactic lecture. During the three talks of this session, we will examine how to successfully bring psychology to the wider public with public engagement events, the importance of such events, and the skills necessary to teach non-specialists outside of the classroom. We will then explore the experience of developing a large-intake psychology module which is open to non-psychology students, with focus on the challenges of teaching a large and diverse student population, and the development of module assessment, including innovative group assessment. Finally, we will turn to educational environments, where we will introduce the concept of 'the flipped classroom', showing how they can be used to promote student-directed active learning. The use of (freely available) personal response system apps and how they can be incorporated into teaching to engage learners with interactive contact will also be demonstrated.
The aim of this session is to help delegates think about their teaching approaches and to encourage the development of skills necessary for effective, interactive and engaging education. It will end with a general discussion and Q&A.
You can find detailed abstracts for this session here.

America is full of wonderful, weird little towns. On this August morning, we stumbled across Wallace, Idaho. It almost seemed like time had just passed this place by. The townspeople were setting up for their annual Huckleberry Festival. I didn't even know a Huckleberry was a real thing up until this point. I just thought it was something Doc Holliday famously said.
We were pretty hungry for some breakfast so that was priority number one! I, for one, like to eat. Biscuits & Gravy and coffee is what I had! It was delicious. Maggie got Huckleberry pancakes. Who would have known that the fruit was so yummy. It's the little things in life! As you can see this picture is PRE-coffee!
After breakfast, we walked around town to see what there was to see. It was a hodge-podge of strangeness! There were spaceships, a bordello, a livery stable and a brewery just to mention a few. Wallace seems to have had a very interesting past. I bet fun times we had here! The name of the Bordello is The Oasis. I'll let you look that one up on your own. This is a family site after all! I wish I would have taken a picture of the public swimming pool in the middle of town. CRAZY!!!
Chad wanted to fill up our growler here at Wallace Brewing, but they weren't open yet. Luckily, someone was going in the back door. They were super nice to let Chad in and fill it up!
We said Good Bye to Wallace, Idaho….on to our next adventure.

Growing up, my parents ran a cookie business out of the house. Yea, my childhood was pretty sweet.
I definitely ate my fair share of raw cookie dough. Nope, never got sick!
But just to be safe I now make Edible Cookie Dough with no raw egg
There is also no added sugar, no flour, no butter…basically nothing that is in actual cookie dough!
Secret ingredient?
The first question I always get…
Can you taste the beans?
Great with crackers, fruit, pretzels, or a spoon!
Swap the chocolate chips for some raisins and add a pinch of cinnamon for Oatmeal Cookie Dough.
Add sprinkles for Birthday Cookie Dough.
No chocolate chips and cinnamon for Snickerdoodle.
You get where I'm going here?
There are lots of flavor possibilities!
Honestly, I just don't think you can beat classic Chocolate Chip!
The dish – 470 calories
- 1/2 scoop vanilla whey (15g)
- 1 cup oats ground to flour (80g)
- 1 cup canned white beans (drained/rinsed) (130g)
- 1/2 cup sugar free maple syrup (60ml)
- 2 T mini chocolate chips (28g)

Metastatic Brain Tumors
A metastatic, or secondary, brain tumor is one that begins as cancer in another part of the body. Some of the cancer cells may be carried to the brain by the blood or lymphatic fluid, or may spread from adjacent tissue. The site where the cancerous cells originated is referred to as the primary cancer. Metastatic brain tumors are often referred to as lesions or brain metastases. Metastatic brain tumors are the most common brain tumors. There has been an increase in metastatic lesions as people are surviving primary cancers for longer periods of time.
- The primary cancer is usually in the lung, breast, colon, kidney, or skin (melanoma), but can originate in any part of the body
- Most are located in the cerebrum, but can also develop in the cerebellum or brain stem
- More than half of people with metastatic tumors have multiple lesions (tumors)
- Common among middle-aged and elderly men and women
- Seizures
- Headaches
- Behavioral and cognitive changes
- Lack of coordination
Surgery and radiosurgery are the standard treatments if lesions are limited in number and accessible. Both of these treatments may be followed by whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT). In cases of multiple lesions, WBRT alone may be given. Chemotherapy specific to the brain-located metastatic tumor may be used.

Frederick Law Olmsted, creator of the Buffalo Olmsted Park System and father of American landscape architecture, believed the purpose of green space was to "refresh and delight the eye and through the eye, mind and spirit." Upon touring the City of Buffalo in 1868, he convinced the city's leaders that not one park – as in New York City's Central Park – but multiple parks would better serve Buffalo's needs. The jewel of this system of Buffalo Olmsted parks was the 350 acre Delaware Park.

Thanks again, Jayca, for sharing about the new online submissions process for these magazines.I just got an acceptance letter (attached to an email) from Cricket magazine, for a poem I submitted a month or so ago. I had submitted via the link you provided.A word of warning - the editor of Cricket said in her letter that they are eight to ten months behind on payments to their contributors. Judging from brief online research, I think this goes for all Carus magazines. Times are tough.At least the editor was honest and up-front about this problem, though. Better forewarned than frustrated.

Most Precious Barbara Tucker
Oh, you know I love Barbara Tucker!
Ms. Tucker has house hooks and she knows how to use them! Most recently she's teamed up with Blaze for the song "Most Precious Love"
The video is computer animated, so of course the first thing I thought of was "Money for Nothing". But I really should have a different 80s video in mind. Check this out: towards the end of the video Kevin Blaze throws a set of keys to a nerd in the audience.
The keys are to the stylish pink Blaze limo, finally allowing this twerp to score!
That's in the proud tradition of ZZ Top!
I encourage all rock stars to donate their awesome rides to the sexually less fortunate. For just five minutes a day in the back of the Eliminator, you too can provide some action to nerds across the world.
Please, think of the nerds.

The preliminary number of 397 traffic fatalities last year is a sad reminder that Minnesotans must recommit to safe choices both behind the wheel and on the street if tragedies are to decrease. The number of lives lost so far last year is below the 2015 final figure of 411, but it is projected to go up as final crash data is evaluated.
The Minnesota Department of Public Safety Office of Traffic Safety (DPS-OTS) projects a final number of 412 road fatalities.
Pedestrian Fatalities
Pedestrian deaths climbed again in 2016 with a preliminary figure of 60 fatalities compared with a final figure of 41 in 2015. This is the highest number of pedestrian deaths since 1991 (61) and a 50 percent increase in fatalities in the past five years (2012 – 2016).
