Reprinted from Climatic Change, Vol. 70, Nos. 1-2, 2005.
One of the major challenges facing humankind is to provide an equitable standard of living for this and future generations: adequate food, water and energy, safe shelter and a healthy environment. Human-induced climate change, and increasing climate variability, as well as other global environmental issues such as land degradation and loss of biological diversity, threaten our ability to meet these basic human needs. It is undisputed that the last two decades have been the warmest this century, and likely to be the warmest for the last 1000 years, sea level is rising, rain and snowfall patterns are changing. Arctic sea ice is thinning and the frequency and intensity of El-Ni#o events appear to be increasing. In addition, the frequency of extreme events is rising and many parts of the world have recently suffered major heat-waves, floods and droughts leading to significant loss of life and economic costs. This requires the global community to give urgent attention to addressing key issues. The range of adaptation options for agriculture and forestry is generally increasing because of technological advances, thus reducing the vulnerability of these systems to climate change. However, some regions of the world, particularly developing countries, have limited access to these technologies. Agriculture and forestry are currently not optimally managed with respect to today's natural climate variability. Decreasing the vulnerability of agriculture and forestry to increasing climatic variability will go a long way towards reducing the long-term vulnerability to climate change. This book represents a major step in assessing the science of climate variability and change, and their likely impacts on agriculture and forestry, with clear adaptation strategies required to reduce their vulnerability.
Increasing climate variability and change: Reducing the vulnerability. Foreword. Overview - Climate variability and climate change: Past, present and future. Impacts of present and future climate variability on agriculture and forestry in the arid and semi-arid tropics. Impacts of present and future climate variability on agriculture and forestry in the sub-humid and humid tropics. Impacts of present and future climate variability on agriculture and forestry in the temperate regions: Europe. Impacts of present and future climate variability on agriculture and forestry in the temperate regions: North America. Assessing the Consequences of Climate Change for Food and Forest Resources: A View from the IPCC. Achieving Adequate Adaptation in Agriculture. The development of seasonal and inter-annual climate forecasting. Seasonal and inter-annual climate forecasting: the new tool for increasing preparedness to climate variability and change in agricultural planning and operations. Using traditional methods and indigenous technologies for coping with climate variability. Tomorrow?s forests: Adapting to a changing climate. Management Strategies to Sequester Carbon in Agricultural Soils and to Mitigate Greenhouse Gas Emissions. Climate, Communications, and Innovative Technologies: Potential Impacts and Sustainability of New Radio and Internet Linkages in Rural African Communities. Role of education and training in agricultural meteorology to reduce vulnerability to climate variability. Agrometeorological research and applications needed to prepare agriculture and forestry adapt to 21st century climate change. Reducing vulnerability of agriculture and forestry to climate variability and change in the 21st century: workshop summary and recommendations.

The Decemberists - Live Home Library Vol. 1
Limited Edition 140-gram 2LPs with D-Side etching and insert included!
Recorded at Royal Oak Music Theatre in Michigan during 2009's Hazards Of Love tour
Vinyl exclusive, not available on streaming services!
24-inch fold-out insert with oral history and photos of the tour from the band
The first volume in the Decemberists' Live Home Library series, from the band's own label — Youth and Beauty Brigade
The Decemberists have announced a new series of live releases dubbed Live Home Library, which will come via their label YABB (Youth and Beauty Brigade) Records. The band have also unveiled the first installment in the series: their Aug. 11, 2009 performance at the Royal Oak Music Theatre in Michigan. The show saw The Decemberists perform their 2009 LP The Hazards of Love in full. The installment is due out on Dec. 4.
The band has also shared a cut from the new live record, a performance of "Won't Want For Love."
"Since who-knows-when, we Decemberists have been sitting on a treasure trove of live recordings, shows over the course of our career that we have recorded for reasons long lost to time," said vocalist/guitarist Colin Meloy (via press release). "We figured now, with a constitutional crisis looming, a viral pandemic spreading, and a global climate rapidly becoming uninhabitable, this would be a perfect time to wade through those recordings and pick the very best ones to release upon an unsuspecting world. More volumes will follow, hopefully touching on every era of the band's 20 (nearly 21)-year long career."
The limited edition 2LP 140-gram vinyl pressing comes in black vinyl and features an etched vinyl D-side plus a 24" fold-out with an oral history and photos from the tour taken by the band.

An uncomfortable cultural division is about to pay out in India this week, as a burger-loving president will be forced to attend several vegetarian meals.
President Donald Trump, who prefers his steaks well done and his burgers from McDonald’s, will have at least one lunch and a banquet with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is a devoted vegetarian.
CNN spoke with a person close to the president who has dined with him several times. According to the friend, the president will have a salad every now and then, but outside of that, “I have never seen him eat a vegetable.”
Often, international leaders have found ways to accommodate Trump’s dietary restrictions for processed foods, but most Indian states ban cow slaughter. The only places that don’t are Kerala, West Bengal and states of the northeast.
“I don’t know what he’s going to do in this case. They don’t serve cheeseburgers,” a former official told CNN.

Pediatric Central Nervous System Inflammatory Demyelinating Disorders (CIDDs) are a heterogeneous group of diseases that include entities such as Clinically Isolated Syndrome (CIS), Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM), Pediatric Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and Neuromyelitis Optica (NMO). Despite increasing awareness of their occurrence in pediatric populations, their prevalence remains underestimated (1). Acute CIDDs, such as ADEM, are generally understood to occur more often in children than adults. Moreover, recent estimates project that as many as 10% of cases of MS begin in childhood (2). Lastly, NMO has also been reported to occur as early as infancy, and in as many as 8.5% of children with an inflammatory demyelinating disease.
The clinical presentation may vary between these disorders with some being monophasic (i.e., occurring as a single acute event) and monofocal (i.e., presenting with one neurological deficit), while others present as chronic disorders or with multifocal neurological deficits. However, it is important to recognize that substantial overlap between the different disorders exists. For instance, ADEM was generally regarded to be a self-limited CIDD affecting the CNS in a monophasic and multifocal fashion, but relapses may occur and, in such instances, a diagnosis of MS may be more apt. In addition, CIS—a term used to describe a first-time inflammatory demyelinating episode, such as optic neuritis or transverse myelitis—may progress to relapsing NMO or MS, or remain a single acute event.
The precise epidemiology of each of these demyelinating disorders is difficult to determine given the lack of diagnostic biomarkers for all variants, the propensity for misdiagnosis, and the low incidence of CIDDs in pediatric patient populations. Nevertheless, a precise diagnosis is essential, as therapies should be tailored to the etiology of the CIDD.
The most common presenting symptoms for children with CIDD vary by etiology, but in general are, in order of frequency: altered sensorium (~73%), seizures (~53%), ataxia (~27%), multiple cranial paralysis (20%), abnormal movements (20%), hemiparesis (13.3%), optic neuritis (13.3%), and quadriparesis (6.7%). ADEM and CIS are the two most commonly occurring forms of CIDD among children.
A thorough differential diagnosis would include, but not be limited to: CNS infection vs. Leukodystrophies vs. Collagen Vascular diseases (e.g., SLE, neurosarcoidosis, etc.) vs. Metabolic disease vs. Mitochondrial disease vs. Central Nervous System Angiitis.
Acute Disseminating Encephalomyelitis (ADEM): Defined as a monophasic, multifocal CIDD oft preceded by conditions broadly defined as either: post-infectious, para-infectious, post exanthematous, or post vaccineal. It is generally considered to be an autoimmune process in which myelin auto antigens are produced due to shared antigenic determinants with infecting pathogens (i.e., type 3 hypersensitivity). May present as a mild, subclinical process, or as the more fulminant course, known as acute hemorrhagic leukoencephalitis. Patients often present with a fever and a stiff neck, as well as impaired consciousness, lethargy, or encephalopathy. Brain lesions are similarly aged, poorly defined, and numerous with a bilateral distribution; in addition, are commonly located in the thalamus and there is minimal injury to axons. Recurrent and multiphasic variants exist, but generally 3 or more ADEM demyelinating episodes suggest MS.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS): In pediatric populations, relapse and remitting MS accounts for greater than 95% of cases. Childhood infections, remote EBV infection, vitamin D deficiency, and cigarette smoke are all risk factors. Children are more likely to present with isolated optic neuritis, isolated brainstem syndrome (e.g., encephalopathy, etc.), or encephalitis (e.g., vomiting, headaches, seizures, or altered mental status, etc.). MS brain lesions have well-defined margins, are often of different ages, may present as hypointense T1 lesions, and are typically located periventricularly. T-cell mediated (i.e., type 4 hypersensitivity) response to myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein and myelin basic protein has been shown to occur in pediatric MS, as it does in the adult version. Oligoclonal bands one confirmatory test.

I design greeting cards for Artists to Watch and for Trader Joe. My cards can be purchased on line at Artists to Watch. They are large and well printed on sturdy paper.
Here are a few of the many designs that I have painted for Artists to Watch.
I have also design placemats and coasters for Hadley Table. Hadley Table is currently on hiatus while they search for new manufacturers. I will put a link in when they are back in business.


Twice, since buying the car in Oct '08, the engine has cut out whilst cornering at slow speed. Power steering and braking is lost. Luckily road quiet on both occasions. Aware of recalls in earlier Honda models for similar problem - defective ignition switch. Local dealer has checked but no outstanding recalls on this vehicle or model.

What is possibly happening is when you brake, there is a vacuum leak caused by the power brake system, this reduces the engine rpm, which in turn effects the power steering which makes it feel like the steering is locking up. This can also happen with a vacuum leak anywhere in the engine or things like a faulty idle adjustment control.... Turn the vehicle on, place your foot on the brake, if the idle speed increases dramatically you have a problem. Then put the vehiclein drive with your foot on the brake. If it nearly dies, again, you have an issue.
There are many different things on an engine that can create vacuum leaks. EGR Valves, IAC solenoid, PCV valves, the list goes on....
Good luck finding this particular issue!

Join Date: Jul 2013. Posts: 5. My Escape is sputtering / losing power.Engine power loss and sputtering - CarGurus
What model Toyota? Later model cars have their engines controlled by an ECU which can cut out the engine when it senses problems such as low oil level, overheating etc. When ti ECU sense a problem it could cut the engine power to half )or less) of its full normal power to allow the vehicle to be driven at slow speed to the nearest service center.
Variable-assist power steering: A power steering system that uses valves and speed sensors to vary the amount of steering assist according to engine or road speed. At slow speeds more steering assist is delivered and steering the wheels is easier; necessary for parking, etc.. At higher speeds, steering assist is reduced and more steering effort is required to steer the car, giving the driver greater feel of the road. Also known as Speed-sensitive power steering.
Loss of current to the magnetic coils would cause a loss of power assist at low speed. Coil resistance can be checked with an ohmmeter, and should read about two ohms. An infinite (open) reading indicates a bad coil (requires replacing the rack since the coils are not serviceable). Checking for shorts between both sides of the coil assembly and rack housing is also recommended.
Most likely that will be your EGR valve, thats "Exhaust Gas Recycler" valve, it basically forces any unburnt fuel back into the engine to re-burn thus cuts the emissions. when they go you will lose a lot of power and the car will almost feel like it is twice as heavy. you can clean this part with carb cleaner and it may work again, It is strange how your ford dealer have not picked it up.
Does the engine light come on at all?
Also other thing it could be your air mass sensor, agaian you can clean this and it may still work, this part regulates the air to mix with the fuel you would lose power with this also and the car would hold back.

City employees were instructed by Birmingham Mayor William Bell to evacuate
and wait as police dogs searched. It took more than 90 minutes before people were allowed to return to the building.
The more-than-four-hour Birmingham City Council meeting adjourned abruptly due to the evacuation. Among other matters this morning, the council had taken measures to show solidarity with supporters of the family of Trayvon Martin.
The unarmed Florida teen was killed last month by a neighborhood watchman who has not been arrested or charged. Some councilmembers wore hoodies in Martin's honor, the article of clothing he was wearing when killed. The council also voted to declare Martin, of Sanford, Fla., an honorary citizen of Birmingham.
No other details on the bomb threat were immediately available.

Don’t know what “lemon water” is? Just watch an episode of my child’s favorite show on Netflix (Sarah & Duck) and you will soon know. Sarah frequently makes lemon water to share with her pal, Duck. It’s really just freshly squeezed lemon juice. That’s all. However, my little one has been requesting lemon water for months. So, I decided that I would create my own version of lemon water.
What do you need to create your very own lemon water that is a little more palatable than fresh lemon juice?
*two Meyer lemons
*a splash of homemade vanilla extract (I’ll post the recipe someday. Until then, regular vanilla extract will suffice.)
*1 tsp (or more) of cinnamon
*3 tbsp (or more) clover honey
*one large mason jar
Roll lemons while pushing them onto a counter or table top to soften them. Slice lemons.
Combine all ingredients in mason jar. Adjust ingredient amounts to your preference. Secure lid. Shake. Pour. Refill jar with water and any vanilla extract, cinnamon, or honey you desire. Shake. Repeat.
We’ve been able to use the same lemons for several batches of lemon water. My little guy loves it and believes it tastes the same as it does on Sarah & Duck. I personally like it better than lemonade.
If you try it, make sure to tell me about it in the comments. I’d love you hear from you!

Chapter 857: A gift for you
Translator: eunimon_ Editor: Caron_
Han Xian Yu looked at her. There was warmth all over his dusty face as he said, “Ye Bai, it’s been long.”
Ye Wanwan hadn’t expected that Han Xian Yu would appear before her in person right after she saw his Weibo post, so she was still quite shocked. “Uh, Xian Yu… why are you here?”
Han Xian Yu raised his brows subtly then said, “Congratulations on your new company. I’m here to present you with a gift.”
Ye Wanwan hadn’t snapped back to her senses yet. “Gift? What gift?”
Han Xian Yu nodded. “En, myself.”
Ye Wanwan: “…”
Gong Xu: “!!!”
Seeing the normally swift and decisive Ye Wanwan actually in a daze, Han Xian Yu’s eyes revealed a tinge of laughter. “Will you accept me?”
Ye Wanwan was dazzled by the young man’s charming smile and she took half a day to return to her senses. “Ah?”
Behind Han Xian Yu, Fei Yang looked at his artist and choked slightly. The corners of his lips twitched and he was speechless. He was cursing in his heart.We’re just here to discuss collaboration; why must you sound so provocative? Anyway, the other party is a man, alright…
He’s never been so flirty even with a girl before…
*Cough* “It’s like this, director Ye… wrong, I should call you chairman Ye now. We’re here to join your company!” Fei Yang explained.
However, Ye Wanwan became even more shocked after Fei Yang’s explanation. “What… join my company?”
Han Xian Yu: “Why? We’re not welcome here?”
Ye Wanwan’s mind was a mess and she held her forehead. “Wait wait wait wait… let me digest this a little – you belong to Worldwide, how could you…”
Han Xian Yu replied, “I terminated my contract with Worldwide an hour ago.”
Ye Wanwan: “…”
This news… is simply too sudden…
Han Xian Yu actually terminated his contract with Worldwide and wants to join my company?
She knew Han Xian Yu always valued friendships and because she helped him before, he always looked out for her. She was very touched that he supported her openly, but Ye Wanwan never expected that he would actually do this…
Gong Xu widened his eyes while Luo Chen and Ye Mu Fan looked at each other. They were all stunned.
Han Xian Yu wants to join our company?
From an established and big company like Worldwide to a small start-up like us?
Ye Wanwan’s expression gradually turned stern and she warned, “Xian Yu, this isn’t a small matter. Don’t be impulsive and let your emotions affect your decisions. I just started this company not long ago and it’s still very new; not everything is on track yet and with Gong Xu and Luo Chen under me, I’ll be very busy for sure. With your talent and abilities, there’s no need for you to come over to our side. Even if you didn’t mind, with our company’s abilities, we won’t be able to…”
Before Ye Wanwan could finish, Han Xian Yu interrupted her and looked at her firmly. “Ye Bai, I know this and that’s why my manager is still Yang-ge. He’ll be in charge of my assignments. I’ll get my own assistant and you don’t have to worry about my acting so you can busy yourself with your own matters. You don’t have to worry about me at all.”
Ye Wanwan: “…”
Oh, please! That’s not the main point ah, hello…
Also, since you don’t need me, why do you want to come over to my side?
Ye Wanwan was between laughter and tears as she looked at Han Xian Yu. “When you put it this way… it really sounds like I’d be taking advantage of you, ah… I won’t allow this for sure…”
Han Xian Yu laughed. “Boss Ye, I don’t even mind being taken advantage of, so why should you?”

[raster] Masks as POI lists
|Reported by:||nclay||Owned by:||dustymugs|
Mask internally to MapAlgebra? should not be represented by 2D arrays as that leads to an iteration over every element. When in the sparse case of a mask it would be much more efficient to set the deterministic values then iterate over the non-deterministic values and setting their appropriate return value. Thus minimizing the number of iterations MapAlgebra? does for each mask operation.
mask = [ 3.14,0,0,0,3.14 0,0,0,0,0 3.14,0,0,0,3.14 ] poi = [3,2] poiList = [ [0,0,3.l4],[0,4,3.14],[2,0,3.14],[2,4,3.14]] eg. poilist = [[x,y,mValue],...,[poix,poiy,1]]
However, we must be careful not to detrimentally affect the execution of dense masks. The code implementing this should take into account the sparseness of an mask and take appropriate action.
eg. With a dense mask it would be best not to preset any of the values in the returning array as this would just waist execution time. However with a sparse mask the opposite is true. There for a separate utility function should be created to encapsulate the logic of determining how best to represent the mask as a poi list and the presetting of deterministic values.
rt_util_mask_to_poi( .... )
Also it may be beneficial to a user to have the ability to hint MapAlgebra? that a mask is sparse through a optional hint in the Mask Object.
sparse = BOOLEAN
When NULL a best effort determination is made by:
rt_util_mask_to_poi( ... )
Also, this will require a new rt_pixel function as well as a new rt_mask representation:
rt_pixel_set_poi_to_array( ... )

Multiple sources are carrying the story that City are leading the charge to eradicate the reckless fouls that have seen a number of players sidelined in recent weeks.
According to Stuart Brennan of the Manchester Evening News: “The Blues have written to Mike Riley, head of the referees body PGMOL, to seek a meeting after a rash of dangerous challenges, one of which has seen Leroy Sane out for seven weeks with ankle ligament damage.
“Manager Pep Guardiola is keen to meet with Riley to discuss the matter, and the club has stressed that this is an attempt to get better protection for ALL players, not just those in sky blue.
“Guardiola has been furious over a series of dangerous challenges aimed at Kevin De Bruyne, Sane and Brahim Diaz in recent weeks, and several of his players have joined him in calling for refs to offer greater protection.
“The City manager fears it is only a matter of time before a player's career is ended by a bad tackle, and feels the authorities need to tighten the rules.”
Meanwhile, City reportedly face competition from crosstown rivals Manchester United in the race to sign Harry Maguire from Leicester City.
According to The Mirror, the 24-year-old defender will command a £50m fee in the next transfer window after impressing in his second Premier League campaign.
“United have joined City in the chase for Leicester defender Maguire setting up a summer tug-of-war between the two big Manchester rivals and bosses Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola,” The Mirror state.
“City have been monitoring Maguire all season and though £57m Aymeric Laporte arrived from Athletic Bilbao last month they also remain interested in the Leicester man.
“Maguire, 24, joined Leicester from Hull for £17m last summer on a five-year deal that runs until 2022.
“After a string of impressive performances and breaking into the England squad the Foxes believe his value has now almost trebled.
“And Leicester reminded their rivals they are no pushovers in the transfer market and capable of hanging onto their stars by fending off City when they made a late move for winger Riyad Mahrez last month.”
Another transfer line this morning relates to City’s reported courting of the Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder, Fred.
Goal.com report that the Blues are close to reaching a deal with the Ukrainian outfit for the Brazilian.
“City had been working to sign the 24-year-old throughout January; having initially been happy to bring him to the Etihad Stadium at the end of the season, they then stepped up their efforts midway through the month and attempted to recruit him before the winter transfer deadline,” the website claims.
“The Blues were unable to break Shakhtar's resolve to keep the midfielder for the remainder of their Champions League campaign, but they have been in constant talks with the Ukrainians over the past week to put together an agreement which will come into effect this summer.
“It is believed that all parties have agreed on the terms of the move, although nothing is officially signed."
That's all for today, we'll be back at the same time, same place for all the reaction to the Leicester game!

Oregon Vineyards By Aaron Johnson, Joel Anderson, 2021
- Oregon Vineyards
Oregon is known for many things, and its wine is one of them! In fact, Oregon’s wine region is world-famous for impeccable quality and charm. With 725 wineries in Oregon, a robust tourism industry has developed around wine tasting and vineyard tours in all corners of the state. While cities and towns across Oregon are known for their vineyards and wineries, much of the tourism focuses on the wineries and tasting rooms in and around the Yamhill Valley just southwest of Portland. To celebrate the great wines of the northwest, Anderson Design Group has rendered this classic design in the tradition of the Golden Age of Poster Art. A retro-styled travel poster that inspires anyone to explore and discover new wonders, this piece will look great as an art print, notecard, postcard, metal sign, canvas, or mini canvas. And to learn more about Oregon’s wine opportunities, begin your search in Portland with the help of the Travel Portland website.

One day it will be you who'll make the onions cry ... and that day has come..
De titel licht al een tipje van de sluier op... ik sta op het punt om een boeiende periode af te sluiten. Bedankt allemaal!
Pre-heat the oven to 180°.
Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper to your taste.
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in an ovenproof pot on medium heat and cook the chicken thighs golden brown on all sides. Remove them from the pan and set aside.
Next, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in the pot and add the garlic and red chili flakes. Fry them for 1-2 minutes until their aroma is released.
Stir in the chicken bouillon, cream, sun-dried tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, thyme, oregano and dried basil and bring everything to a boil.
Turn down the heat and let the sauce simmer until it gets a little thicker. Then return the chicken thighs to the pot.
Place the pot in the oven and let it stew for 40 minutes until the chicken thighs are completely cooked.
Sprinkle the dish with fresh basil and it’s ready to serve!
Tip: This dish combines very well with an arugula salad, cherry tomatoes and toasted pine nuts.


Slow down and stay safe on the roads, says road safety group
The Bermuda Road Safety Council is urging the motoring public to take the utmost care while driving in the wake of the first road fatality of 2021.
A spokeswoman for the council offered condolences to the family of 28-year-old Oronde Wilson Jr who died on January 4 after a crash in Southampton.
The spokeswoman said: “January is a time of new beginnings and a fresh start. Many in our community and the world over are looking to reset and start over after a challenging year. In doing so, we should all take time to think and consider how we can be and do better on our roads.
“To that end, the BRSC urges the motoring public to slow down, drive with care and caution, don't drink and drive, and obey all traffic laws and signs.
“Road traffic collisions are preventable and as such we must do our part to prevent them from happening.”
The council’s slogan this month is New Year Use Your Safety Gear and there will be enhancements to the work it carries out in the year ahead.
The spokeswoman added: “Now is the time of year for resolutions and adopting good habits.
“Walking, running and cycling are always big hits in the New Year. While the BRSC encourages this, we want to remind the public that while doing these activities remember to ’stay bright’ and to wear reflective gear to be seen.
“In addition to having the right gear, please ensure that bikes are tuned and in good condition and that you are wearing the correct protective headgear.”


The Giants acquired Ogletree via trade with the Rams in 2018. Despite his experience and soft hands (he has a dozen interceptions to his credit), the savings were too good to pass up. Ogletree appeared in 26 games for the G-Men in his two seasons and led the team with 173 stops in that span. He also set the franchise record for INTs by an LB in 2018 with five picks – two of which were brought back for touchdowns.
Martin joined the Giants on the same week as Ogletree. In his first campaign, Martin had perfect attendance with seven starts at linebacker and notched a career-high 48 tackles with 1.5 sacks. Last year, a Week 1 knee injury pretty much wiped out his season. He played in just five contests and logged a grand total of six tackles. He had one more year to go on his deal, but few expected him to see that final season.
By dropping Ogletree and Martin, the Giants will head into March with approximately $70MM in breathing room.

Changes in the pattern of employment will have a significant impact on learning, recent research indicates. In many cases these effects are being felt already. L&D professionals need to make preparations now, so as not to be caught on the back foot.
Seismic changes are shaking the world of work. A shift is seen in the relationship between organisations and the people who work for them, typified by the disruption wrought in the transportation industry by Uber. Uber, a ride sharing app enabled by GPS and mobile technology, is now starting to dominate the US business travel market. According to the Economist and Certify, in the first quarter of 2016, Uber and Lyft accounted for 46% of business ‘ground transportation’ trips in America. Traditional competitors (notably, taxi firms) have been displaced with surprising speed. It is not just the technology that is causing this market disruption, but the business model used by the company. Uber has a permanent employee base which represents its core beliefs and practices but also a huge flexible component.
Flexibility uber alles
This model of peer-to-peer transactions, challenging the traditional pattern of employer/employee relationships, has been seen in other sectors too (e.g. Airbnb, Netflix). ‘Uberisation’ is now a thing. A similar displacement is happening to the world of work in general. External forces are putting businesses under tremendous strain and old ways of doing things are not delivering business results. As companies fight to survive and grow in this changing world, the focus is shifting to enterprise agility as a way of addressing these challenges.
Agility and the ‘gig economy’
Enterprise agility comprises of marketplace, organisational and workforce agility (Dyer, Lee. Professor of Human Resource Studies, Cornell University). Workforce agility refers both to traditional workforce models – i.e. ‘talent comes to the work’ – and non-traditional ways, where
‘work goes to the talent’ – e.g. part-time, temporary employees, freelancers, contractors. This emergence of non-traditional workforce solutions and models is growing rapidly. Increasing numbers are choosing to opt out of full-time working contracts and instead make their living working on multiple jobs or ‘gigs’. This trend has several names including the ‘on demand’ or ‘gig’ economy and is the fastest growing sector of the US economy, currently making up an estimated 1/3. US Senator Mark Warner is urging companies to collaborate and create solutions to the social challenges this model presents, which include lack of benefits packages, pensions and protections that result from a traditional contract of work. The gig economy and associated issues have featured in the presidential race. Hillary Clinton commented on this recently: ‘This on-demand, or so-called gig, economy is creating exciting economies and unleashing innovation. But it is also raising hard questions about workplace protections and what a good job will look like in the future’.
Pushing flexibility up the agenda
The shift indicates an increasing desire for people to have a flexible approach to their working lives. They want to work their own hours, choose where they work and do so without the restrictions of formal direct supervision in an office setting. Research indicates that 70% of the working population in the UK will be mobile, flexible workers by 2020. Also around this time, 50% of the working population will be millennials, who seem particularly comfortable with this model as do gen D. They see it as a lifestyle choice and research indicates they would rather take a pay cut than compromise on flexibility. Just as the gig economy has risen up the political agenda in the US, it needs to do so in the world of Learning and Development. Organisations need to respond now owing to the accelerated and pervasive nature of this change.
Four ways L&D can prepare for the change
- In the ‘gig’ economy companies will procure individuals to work on everything from complex high-level work such as data processing services to project-based tasks. L&D’s challenge will become how to provide just enough gig learning to the individual who needs to perform a specific piece of work, e.g. customer insights or culture of organisation. Learning supplied along with the task will be needed, rather than the sort of large-scale induction programmes more usually delivered to full-time employees.
- The challenge of how to manage self-motivated learners becomes even more pressing when we consider that the gig economy will facilitate a more autonomous, more flexible workforce dispersed around the globe. If personalisation holds the key to engaging self-directed learners, as many wise heads believe, then efforts to personalise will also need to take into account the need to localise; embracing the different cultures around data privacy, learning culture and even attitudes to deference that exist in these dispersed learner populations.
- Two of the reported benefits of flexible working – according to a study of working families conducted by Cranfield University School of Management – are higher levels of organisational commitment and job satisfaction. Using this logic, companies that create a truly flexible learning approach (where learners can access learning from anywhere, anytime, using multiple devices) may experience higher levels of employee commitment with regards to learning.
- Managers are one of the key enablers for successful implementation of flexible working and it is those managers with limited experience of flexible working that can play a pivotal role in its successful adoption. In the ILM’s report ‘Flexible working: Goodbye Nine to Five’, 27% of managers in this situation say it wouldn’t benefit their business at all. Culturally there is still a resistance to flexible working; in the ILM report 31% of respondents have heard colleagues make derogatory comments about those working flexibly. Managers can turn this around with training on how to manage flexible working, focusing on outputs rather than hours.

When you’re nauseous and tired, it can be difficult to get out of bed, much less work up the motivation to clean and prepare food. Unfortunately, if you aren’t able to eat, you aren’t getting fluids either. Dehydration can be extremely dangerous and even deadly if not treated properly, so it’s important to address this issue quickly before your condition worsens.
The most common symptom of dehydration is feeling nauseous. Dehydration causes your body to lose its ability to control its temperature, which will make you feel warmer or colder than usual. You may also have an upset stomach or cramps. Dehydration will also cause your mouth and eyes to feel dry, making your skin look dull and dehydrated. These symptoms are usually caused by a drop in blood volume, which normally sustains many of these body functions.
Dehydration causing nausea
Let’s talk about why you feel sick to your stomach when you’re thirsty. First of all, thirst is one of your body’s oldest ways of signaling you need water. Over time, we have built systems that send signals when our bodies get too hot or too cold and before we run out of air, but getting dehydrated was always a silent killer. Your body sends warning signs to let you know something isn’t right. You may experience lightheadedness, dizziness, weakness, fatigue, headaches, and cramps—all symptoms of not having enough fluids in your system.
How to rehydrate when nauseous
Dehydration is one of several causes of nausea. When you become dehydrated, your body’s fluids are reduced, and if there is not enough water in your system, it can result in a loss of strength and balance. When you suffer from dizziness, lightheadedness, or headaches, these are signs that you need to drink more water.
In addition to water, other fluids can help combat dehydration and relieve your symptoms. Sports drinks and juices also contain water and electrolytes, which are nutrients in your body that regulate heart rate, blood pressure, and fluid levels. Doctors recommend drinking these types of fluids if you’re suffering from a particularly bad case of nausea.
Another option that’s grown in popularity is at-home IV therapies. They can be used to quickly rehydrate your body and bring you back to a healthy state of mind. While they may sound scary, it’s important to note that they aren’t invasive and only require a small needle to be inserted into your arm. The fluid is injected directly into your bloodstream and will start working immediately. Companies like Drip Hydration are offering this service throughout the country. Simply pick a time that works for you and relax while your nausea fades away. It can be used as needed when nausea is bad and regularly for preventative measures.
Summary of dehydration and nausea
Dehydration occurs when we fail to replenish fluids lost through perspiration, urination, and exhalation. This shortage can lead to dehydration; when our body becomes severely dehydrated, it enters a state known as hypovolemic shock. Nausea is one of many symptoms of hypovolemic shock. Fortunately, individuals experiencing nausea due to dehydration may be treated with IVs. In some cases, dehydrated patients can get relief by simply drinking water. However, in other instances, an IV is needed to rehydrate a patient quickly. If you or someone you know experiences nausea from dehydration, don’t hesitate to contact someone immediately. Don’t wait until it gets bad; this information can also be useful for preventative measures.
Get Rid of Dehydration with Drip Hydration
Drip Hydration is a mobile IV service offering fast and effective relief for dehydration & headaches. We’ll deliver relief to your doorstep within an hour of booking your appointment whether you’re at home, at work, or at the gym.
Our IVs take 30 – 45 minutes to administer and will provide instant relief. For severe dehydration headaches, we can blend our Hydration IV with painkillers for even faster relief from symptoms. Give us a call or book online today!

In Reply to: Using less air posted by Kyle on October 28, 2003 at 20:37:34:
Mr. Carrasco has some great advice and states it quite well. What you are dealing with in the low register when you first start out playing is an innefficient embouchure where the air (energy source) is not being effectively turned into buzz (the work), causing you to use too much air in trying to perform the task. As you find the center of the notes in that register things will start to beccome more efficient - your actuial buzz will help conserve the air.
Work at buzzing the mouthpiece in the low register and getting a good solid sound using the least amount of air but maintaining a goood sound. When you buzz on the mouthpiece there are two sound that you will hear: the whistle of the air going through the throat of the mouthpiece and the actual buzz created by the upper lip flapping against the lower lip. Too much of either sound creates either inefficincy of air or poor sound. I find that about 60% of the buzz sound and 40% of the whistle sound is about right for me. Once you have developed a good "meaty" buzz on the mouthpiece in the low register it will be easy to re-create this feeling while playing the horn. This won't happen overnight but the more you "live" in the low register the easier it gets to center pitches, play longer phrases, actually use vibrato, and play as comfortably as the mid register.
Remember - the horn makes no sound by itself - you are the instrument. When something is not working well on the horn, look at the person to correct it.
Just my observations.

Board oversight: Issuing a corporate response to social issues
When social issues arise that stimulate public expectations, there are numerous factors and constituencies to be considered before a corporation can make a formal response. It's critical to have a process, communication plan, and monitoring capabilities to maintain a pulse on public sentiment and manage accordingly. How can boards and business leaders stay proactive rather than reactive when it comes to initiating corporate responses?
In Part 1 of this series, Paul Washington, Executive Director, Environmental, Social and Governance Center, The Conference Board, outlines a best practice framework for issuing a public response to social issues:
- What criteria should boards and management teams use to determine if a public stance and response is needed?
- What process should boards follow for developing and issuing a public response?

3 pounds of chicken breasts, cubed
Extra virgin olive oil
1 onion, diced
1 jalapeno, seeded, and minced
3 sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 plum tomatoes, diced
2 8 oz cans of green chilies
1 15 oz can of fire roasted tomatoes
2 cans of your preferred beans, I used cannellini & pinto
3-4 cups of low sodium chicken broth
Chives, as garnish
4 bell peppers, steamed and used as bowl, totally optional!
Salt and pepper, to taste
Serving size- 6
- Start by seasoning your cubed chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of chili powder, paprika cumin, salt, and pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of paprika. Then, take out a large pot and add 1 tablespoon or so of olive oil. Brown the chicken for a couple minutes and then remove from the pan (you'll finish cooking the chicken in the chili). In the same pan you browned your chicken, add in the onion and jalapeno and saute for 3-4 minutes until softened. Season with salt. Then, add in the potatoes, plum tomatoes, green chilies, canned tomatoes, and your two cans of beans. Stir and season with 1 teaspoon of chili powder, paprika and cumin again. Add a little more salt and pepper. Toss and cook for about few minutes. Then, add the chicken back in, plus 3-4 cups of low sodium chicken broth. Bring this mixture up to a boil, then down to a simmer, cover and cook for about 45 minutes to an hour. It'll thicken up nicely, but if you want it to be thicker, add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch+ 1 tablespoon of water to a bowl and whisk. Add this mixure into the pot and bring it up to a boil. It'll thicken shortly after.
- To serve, I steamed 4 bell peppers in water and salt and used them as bowls! Garnish with chives and enjoy. P.S. Halfway through, I cut up the bell peppers and ate it all together in a bowl.

Consuming too many highly processed foods (such as white bread) has been blamed for an increased incidence of diabetes, heart disease, stroke and cancers. Conversely, unrefined foods have been documented as being beneficial for our health. Knowing this, we set out to make a great, homemade, 100-percent whole-wheat bread.
We quickly learned that can be tricky. If you’re not careful, the result is a dense, unappealing brick. But when done correctly, you get light, deliciously nutty, whole-wheat bread that’s good for you!
Read on to learn how to produce a wonderful loaf every time.
Because the ingredients for bread are so basic, everything used should be fresh and of the highest quality. The following components are what you’ll need to create terrific bread.
Wheat is the most important ingredient, of course. For 100-percent whole-wheat bread, wheat with high gluten and protein (at least 14 percent) content is necessary. Hard red or white (spring or winter) wheat typically has sufficient gluten and protein content. (See “Wheat Berries” below for sources.)
For comparison, all-purpose, whole-wheat flour has about 12 percent protein, while pastry flour has about 7 percent.
Once you’ve located the right wheat, it’s critical that it’s fresh. Whole-grain wheat berries can be stored almost indefinitely at room temperature, but as soon as you grind them into flour, they quickly go rancid. Whole-wheat flour (with no added preservatives) will only keep for about a month at room temperature.
As a result, it can be difficult to get from a store.
Yeast has three major functions when baking bread. It makes the dough rise, gain strength and develop flavor. When flour, water and yeast are mixed, the yeast consumes the sugar in the flour and produces a liquid that releases carbon dioxide bubbles into the dough.
If the dough has a strong, elastic gluten structure, it’ll trap the released bubbles and the dough will rise. In addition, this reaction produces flavor in the bread.
It’s essential that the yeast used in bread baking is fresh so that it can drive the reaction described previously. Dry active yeast is used in this recipe because it’s commonly available and reliable. Refrigerated dry active yeast kept in an airtight container will maintain its potency for several months, so be sure to buy it from a refrigerated case.
Water for making bread shouldn’t be very hard or soft. Hard water will inhibit the yeast reaction, whereas soft or distilled water makes a dough that generally doesn’t rise well. Good drinking water typically works well for making bread.
Salt, like yeast, has three functions in making bread. It adds flavor, strengthens the gluten and regulates yeast growth. Bread made without salt generally tastes flavorless, rises too quickly and has a crumbly texture. For this recipe, kosher salt works well.
Sweeteners aren’t required for good whole-wheat bread because enough sugar is present in the flour to feed the yeast. However, a sweetener can improve the bread’s flavor and texture.
Honey, molasses, granulated sugar or brown sugar can all be used, but we like honey. Honey can vary tremendously from jar to jar, though, so consider that when choosing it. We prefer to use raw (unpasteurized), lightly colored, local honey.
Fat, like sweeteners, isn’t absolutely necessary for good bread. But a little bit of oil or butter improves shelf life, flavor and texture. You can use either good-quality butter or olive oil, but make sure that it’s fresh, too.
This recipe makes two, standard-size, 100-percent whole-wheat loaves.
- 2 teaspoons dry active yeast (1⁄4 ounce)
- 1⁄2 cup warm water (approximately 105 to 115 degrees Fahrenheit)
- 6 cups whole wheat bread flour
- 2 1⁄2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 1⁄4 cups lukewarm water
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
Step 1: Milling
(If you’re using preground flour, skip this step.)
If you find a good source for fresh, whole-wheat flour, then you don’t need to invest in a mill to grind it yourself. However, if you’re committed to making your own whole-grain products, then a mill might make sense.
Whole-wheat kernels are a lot cheaper than whole-wheat flour, and freshly milled wheat tastes better. We like the hard white spring wheat “Prairie Gold” kernels and buy them in 50-pound bags.
There are many bread mills available for grinding flour, from hand-crank models to electric. We use an electric Nutrimill and have been quite happy with it. It wasn’t inexpensive, but it’s convenient, easy to clean and has been running well for years.
If you’re considering buying a mill, avoid one that overheats the flour while grinding. That will negatively impact bread quality.
It’s best to grind only as much flour as you plan to use since freshly ground whole grains go rancid quickly. About 3 1⁄2 cups of wheat berries should produce approximately 6 cups of flour for this recipe. Whatever type of mill you choose, set the speed and coarseness of grind so that you get a very finely ground, light brown flour.
Step 2: Mixing
Place the flour in a large bowl, mix in the salt and make a well in the middle of the mixture. Dissolve the honey in the 2 1⁄4 cups of water, and add the butter (shaved into small slivers) or oil. Dissolve the yeast in the 1⁄2 cup of warm water, making sure it dissolves completely.
Pour both liquid mixtures into the well in the flour. Combine the ingredients slowly to make a smooth batter. After combining, wait a few minutes to ensure the dough has completely absorbed the liquids.
Now, evaluate the dough to determine whether it’s too stiff or watery. Remove the dough from the bowl, and feel it to decide whether it needs more water or flour.
It should be sticky and wet, but not waterlogged. It also shouldn’t be too stiff, or it’ll turn into bricks. If more flour or water is needed, return the dough to the bowl, add 3 or so tablespoons of flour or water (flour if too watery, water if too stiff), mix well and reevaluate.
Proceed with the next step when the consistency seems perfect.
Step 3: Kneading
To create a great whole-wheat bread, we’ve found that you must knead the dough to develop the gluten structure. We accomplish this using an electric Bosch mixer set to knead for 15 to 20 minutes. (That’s about 600 manual kneading strokes.)
Like a flour mill, an electric mixer to knead bread dough isn’t inexpensive or required. However, an electric mixer makes it much more convenient to make bread. We’ve used the mixer to create so many loaves that it’s turned into an excellent investment.
After adequate kneading, the dough will become very smooth. When gently pulled, it should stretch without tearing. It will lose most of its wetness and become a uniform beige color.
Step 4: Rising
The next step is the first rising. Shape the dough into a round and place it into a clean, ungreased container with the seam side down. The dough may double or triple in volume during rising, so your container needs to be big enough for the dough to rise without constriction.
The container also needs a cover to keep the dough from drying out. (We used a 6-quart plastic container with a lid.) An ideal temperature for rising is about 80 degrees F, which typically means letting the dough rise in the warmest, nondrafty spot you can find.
After about 1 1⁄2 hour, the dough should have risen substantially. To determine whether the dough has risen sufficiently, do a finger-poke test. Poke the dough with your moistened finger. The resulting hole shouldn’t fill in at all. If the hole fills in some, the dough needs to rise a little longer.
When the first rise is complete, carefully flatten the risen dough using moist hands. Then, gently remove it from the container using a rubber spatula and fold the dough to form a small, firm ball again. Place it back into the container, and put the cover back on for the second rising.
It should take about half as long as the first, and testing for completion is the same.
After the second rise is complete, dust your working surface (preferably a nonstick mat) lightly with flour and use the rubber spatula to gently remove the dough from the container onto the dusted surface (topside down). Then (again with moist hands) gently flatten the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick. At this point, divide the dough in half. The two halves will become your two loaves.
For each dough half, fold the edges of the dough inward. Then invert the dough ball to form another ball.
Cover the dough balls with a damp cloth, and allow them to rest for approximately 10 minutes. While the dough is resting, it’s a good time to grease two 8–by- 4-inch loaf pans in preparation for baking.
Step 5: Shaping
Now, the dough needs to be shaped into loaves without tearing any of the gluten that’s been developing. To do this, dust your working surface again lightly with flour, put the dough on the working surface, and gently press it into a 1-inch-thick circle.
After that, fold the dough over but not quite in half, making a “smiley” face.
Next, fold the pieces in from the sides. Here you’re trying to make the length of the dough about 2⁄3 of the length of your loaf pan.
Then, gently roll the dough in upon itself. Now, press the resulting seam together. Then seal the seam together. And place the loaf seam side down in the greased loaf pan.
Step 6: Final Rising
The final rising occurs in the loaf pans and should take about 30 to 45 minutes. It’s important to keep the surfaces of the loaves moist, so it’s a good idea to cover the loaves again with a damp cloth.
While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 425 degrees. The dough is ready for baking when the indentation from the finger poke test fills in slowly. At this point, you don’t want it to remain unfilled (as in the previous risings) because the dough should continue rising slightly in the heat of the oven.
If all the bread-making steps worked properly, the loaves should rise prettily and arch over the top of the pans after the final rise.
Once the dough is ready for the oven, place the loaves on the oven rack near the center. Bake for 10 minutes, then turn the oven
temperature down to 325 degrees. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes more or until the bread tests done with a toothpick.
It may seem like all the kneading, rising and shaping is a lot of work, but the result is glorious, nutty-tasting, 100-percent whole-wheat bread loaves. There really isn’t anything much better than fresh, homemade whole-wheat bread!

This Transcatheter Heart Valve Replacement Tavi market study offers a comprehensive analysis of the business models, key strategies, and respective market shares of some of the most prominent players in this landscape. Along with an in-depth commentary on the key influencing factors, market statistics in terms of revenues, segment-wise data, region-wise data, and country-wise data are offered in the full study. This study is one of the most comprehensive documentation that captures all the facets of the evolving Transcatheter Heart Valve Replacement Tavi market.
A heart valve is present in arteries and veins and facilitates blood flow only in one direction through the heart. The four major valves in the heart are two atrioventricular valves known as bicuspid valve and tricuspid valve and two semilunar valves known as aortic valve and pulmonary valve. A heart valve separates the atria, ventricles and blood vessels from each other. A heart valve is pushed open to allow blood flow and it closes and prevents backflow of blood. This closing is sealed tightly by nodules present at the tip of the cusps, which are the opening leaflets of the heart valve. The dysfunction of the heart valve causes valvular heart disease. There are two types of valvular heart disease, regurgitation or valvular insufficiency where blood flows in wrong direction due to dysfunctional heart valve and the second is valvular stenosis (Severe Aortic Stenosis) where the heart valve becomes narrow. Injured and defective heart valves are repaired or replaced by artificial heart valves. Echocardiography is done to diagnose valvular heart disease. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement, also known as transcatheter aortic valve implantation is one of the treatment procedure for valvular heart disease wherein transcatheter heart valve is used to replace the damaged heart valve.

Chinese OEMs got no chill. You can repeat that after me and I won’t take an offence. Just joking there. Popwinds is another Chinese OEM to brace the Android market with remarkable Android devices. The latest off the Popwinds platform is the Popwinds M1029. The device was released this year and still has a not so recent Android OS. Although the tablet presents neat specs at a really affordable price, it’s price being toned down a bit would have made more sense. It packs a cool memory as well as an impressive display. Get to know more about the Popwinds M1029 tablet as we proceed in this article.
DESIGN AND DISPLAY
The tablet’s design holds the “sleek and slim” at the same time. Its body wrapped in metal backed up with its body protection makes the tablet all the more lovely. The tablet comes singly in Gray and has a thickness of 7.9 mm. This further emphasises its slimness. The tablet’s weight is also light at 508g (battery inclusive). The tablet’s rectangular shape bears the front camera at the top bezel if placed in a landscape point of view while the rear camera is located at the topmost position at the rear. The “popwinds” logo appears at the centre of the tablet’s rear. Dedicated keys on the tablet include the volume keys and the power button (found on the tablet’s right). The tablet also comes with a stylus pen.
The tablet is blessed with a 10.1-inch display. The display comes along with 224.71 ppi pixel density as well a screen resolution of 1280 x 800 that gives the screen sharpness. The tablet has a display area of 70% which denotes its screen to body ratio. I won’t forget to add that its IPS LCD touchscreen has the multi-touch input.
HARDWARE AND MEMORY
The CPU that powers the tablet is an ARM Cortex-A7 CPU with eight cores and a clocking speed of 2.0GHz. The chipset that comes along with this tablet is the Allwinner A83T. This 32-bit processor uses the 28nm process technology.
The fluid multi-tasking on the tablet is the primary function of a built-in 2GB RAM. As the RAM does the job of multi-tasking, an inherent 32GB ROM stores up files and documents. The ROM can be extended to 32GB with the aid of a micro SD card.
CAMERA AND SOFTWARE
The camera located at the rear has 5MP quality for capturing images. It has features such as autofocus, face detection and HDR, yet it lacks a LED flash support. The front camera has a lower 2MP shooter for taking selfies. Just like the rear camera, it lacks a LED flash support. The tablet runs on the Android 5.1 Lollipop.
BATTERY AND CONNECTIVITY
No cellular connectivity on the tablet, however, there’s the presence of Wi-Fi connectivity, USB connectivity and Bluetooth on the device. The tablet’s quantum of solace is a non-removable 5,500mAh battery. The Lithium Polymer battery gives 140 hours on standby.
Popwinds M1029 is sold at the price of US $270 which is about NGN97,000.

Globalisation, digitalisation, new technologies and the Covid-19 pandemic have moved more and more people into hybrid and fully remote work (teleworking), but how should government policies and legal frameworks adapt to this new reality? How can the well-being of people at work be maintained when the lines between private life and work are increasingly blurred?
These questions were at the centre of a parliamentary hearing on the future of work, held yesterday by the PACE Committee on Social Affairs, Health and Sustainable Development, which brought together parliamentarians, policymakers and experts to discuss options for organising work better.
Richard Samans of the International Labour Organization (ILO) told parliamentarians that in the complex jungle of increasingly stressful work situations and growing inequality, the focus should be on pursuing a human-centred approach. Society should be investing in people skills, framework institutions and policies that promote decent work for all, he said.
Stijn Broecke from the OECD underlined that while the impact of new technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) was not yet fully understood, AI users should comply with existing regulations that protect essential rights in the workplace.
Abigail Marks, Professor of the Future of Work at Newcastle University in the United Kingdom, suggested that the rigid “eight-hours-a-day” and “five-days-a-week” model of work now belonged to the past, and should be done away with in order to encourage more flexible and less stressful working.
The findings of the hearing will feed into a report currently being prepared by Selin Sayek Böke (Turkey, SOC) on The future of work is here: revisiting labour rights.

The issue of bullying in the workplace in Los Angeles and across the country has been brought to the forefront of our national conversation with the case of a very unlikely victim — a 6-foot-5 pro football player weighing in at more than 300 pounds.
Jonathan Martin, a right tackle for the Miami Dolphins, reportedly walked out of the team’s lunchroom on Oct. 28 after a seemingly harmless, albeit juvenile, prank by his teammates. He has not returned to the team, and did not play in that week’s game. There has been widespread talk of ongoing bullying and harassment, by one fellow player in particular, that led up to the cafeteria incident.
Those reports have not yet been confirmed, even by Martin himself. The Stanford University-educated player took to Facebook to tell his fans they should not give credence to everything that has been reported.
Dolphins Coach Joe Philbin told the press that the team is investigating the incident, and said that he does not condone bullying. The players’ union and the National Football League (NFL) are also investigating reports of long-term harassment of Martin.
While locker room hazing, particularly of rookie players, is nothing new, the fact that it got to the point where a player walked off the job and missed a game has even some veteran players and sports reporters concerned.
We have all worked with people who didn’t seem to get their fill of bullying and general “mean girl” behavior in middle school, and continue it into the workplace. While most workplace bullying is verbal rather than physical, it can indeed be considered discrimination , and can leave the employer liable.
Most people in a workplace have undergone some type of sexual harassment training. Far fewer have had anti-bullying training. If a professional football player with a roughly $1.2 million contract isn’t protected by his employer, many employees feel that they have little or no chance of receiving protection.
It is essential that employers have zero-tolerance policies in place for bullying. If an employee is subjected to verbal or physical harassment in the workplace and his or her employers do not intervene to stop it, that employee may well have a discrimination case against the company and possibly supervisors who participated in or allowed the activity.

Cost effective & easy to make!
So far I have prepared 3 different types of food for Sonny. This tutorial explains how to make pureed carrots and pureed sweet potatoes.
1 pound (lb) bag of organic baby carrots, purchased for $.99 at Aldi
I prepared about 1/2 pound at a time.
Rinse carrots and place in steamer basket, add 2 inches of water to steamer.
Steam for 30 minutes.
When you remove these from the steamer, you should be able to insert a fork into the carrots without any resistance.
Fill your Magic Bullet to the halfway point, if using a Food Processor you can probably do all the carrots at the same time. Carrots may be slightly lumpy, add breastmilk or water (1 tsp at a time) until you reach the desired consistency.
Next make “splats” (thank you Pinterest) on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. I made these “splats” a little larger than a tablespoon.
I filled my cookie sheet with carrot and sweet potato “splats” (shown later). Once these are frozen they can easily be removed from the parchment paper. Place “splats” in a large ziplock bag, and keet in the freezer. Remove a “splat” for each meal. It will need time to thaw, you may need to add breastmilk or water if the consistency is too thick.
I roasted the potato by washing it off, and cutting it in half (leave the skin on), place the halves fleshy side down on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. – In the future I think I will just wrap the entire sweet potato in foil and bake on 425 for 1 hour, because that’s how I usually make sweet potatoes, but anyway…
Remove from oven and let them cool, once the potato has cooled you can simply peel off the skin and the dry roasted areas.
Put all of the mushy sweet potato in a Magic Bullet or Food Processor. I added more liquid to the potatoes than I did to the carrots.
The sweet potato was velvety (hmmm is this a word??? College education does not equal
intelligence haha) after being pureed. I placed sweet potato “splats” on the same parchment paper as the carrots. Because the colors were so similar I tried to write an “S” on the sweet potato “splats” with a toothpick, operative word being “tried”. Anywhoo the sweet potato “splats” are the ones with the hieroglyphics on them.
The Sweet Potato Puree was very smooth. It was also surprisingly tasty – this is coming from a person that drowns sweet potatoes in butter and showers them in brown sugar!
The carrots retain a significant amount of water so you may want to limit how much you add when you are pureeing. You might end up with soup when you thaw out your “splats”
Okay so try it out, let me know what works or doesn’t work for you.
More tutorials to come!
Love, Mommy and Sonny
