In an age of technology enabling new ways to conduct business anywhere on a smartphone and work-from-home opportunities for many workers, it can be difficult to disconnect and get away from your business or job. If you are trying to open a new business or keep a small-business going, it can be especially stressful to even think about taking time off or having employees take time off. The worries about who will pick up the slack or how can the business afford it are powerful concerns.
Recently, there have been some federal and state proposals to mandate that employers provide their workers with more opportunity to take job-protected paid time off that would essentially expand the Family Medical Leave Act. Simply put, FMLA already provides workers with job-protected leave that is unpaid for a personal or family member illness or after a baby is born.
Here in Colorado, there is a proposal that would have every worker pay several dollars a week from their paycheck to fund a program that would allow workers to apply for all or a portion of their wages to be paid by the program if they need to take time off for maternity/paternity leave, an illness, or other similar circumstance. The program would pay a portion of the workers normal income that would be higher for low-wage workers, and a lower portion for higher-wage workers. The idea is that it would be a way for more employees to get access to paid time off, without burdening businesses, especially small-businesses, with the cost of paying the worker while they are gone.
However, it seems that most businesses and business groups oppose the measure, citing the administrative costs in managing the deductions and payroll with such a program and the challenges associated with finding temporary replacements for employees on job-protected leave. Businesses also fear that if the paycheck deductions are insufficient to fund the program, that businesses will end up covering any deficits.
On the other end of the spectrum, there are many companies and small-businesses that say that their workers already have access to these kinds of benefits. They say that they make sure that their employees get the time they need through a time off plan that suits their employer-employee relationship on a more individualized level.
Another interesting approach is one from a Denver-based tech company, FullContact. They have an extraordinary vacation policy that they call “Paid, PAID Vacation.” With this approach, they give their employees a minimum of 15 days of vacation with full pay every year, but they also give each employee $7,500 to pay for the vacation itself. The only catch for getting the bonus is that employees must actually go on vacation, they must “disconnect,” and they cannot work during this time off. Part of the inspiration for this program came when the CEO and founder was on vacation in Egypt. He was riding on a camel, in Egypt, with the Pyramids in view, and he was staring at his smartphone. There is a framed photo commemorating this moment at the company’s office. The company has called it a “giant experiment” that is designed to reward their employees and also help the company through benefits like increased productivity and employee retention. FullContact has had this program since 2012, so it looks like the company is satisfied with the results of this experiment.
If your business has questions about laws covering employee time off or about having an employee handbook or policies drafted with legal issues in mind, don’t hesitate to reach out to the Law Office of E.C. Lewis, P.C., home of your Denver Business Attorney, Elizabeth Lewis, at 720-258-6647 or email her at email@example.com.

A network of labour rights organisations and unions has urged apparel companies to ensure all workers in their supply chains are paid fairly during the Covid-19 crisis.
The Clean Clothes Campaign (CCC) network wants brands to publicly state that workers in their supply chain who were employed at the onset of the crisis will receive their legally-mandated or regular wages and benefits, whichever is higher.
The assurance should also state that workers will receive back pay or severance pay if applicable. Brands should also promise payment of a price premium on future orders, which will go into a fund to provide stronger social protections for workers.
“Companies have a responsibility to prevent, mitigate, and remedy the human rights violations in their supply chains,” said the CCC.
“By ensuring that workers receive their due wages, companies fulfil part of their due diligence obligations, which also include ensuring non-discriminatory treatment of workers, social protection, and safe working conditions that do not expose workers to infection or other health risks.”
The organisations in the Clean Clothes Campaign network will start reaching out to apparel companies with these demands directly as well as through an upcoming campaign, the CCC said.
“From the start of this pandemic, as the supply of raw materials from China dried up, garment workers have suffered economically, with workers in Asia faced with factory closures and non-payment of wages and severance pay,” said the CCC.
“Since March... garment workers have worked in unsafe conditions, not been paid their wages, and suffered dismissals or retrenchment as apparel brands suddenly cancelled or refused to pay the agreed price for orders.”
In May Edinburgh Woollen Mill was accused of taking advantage of coronavirus to demand discounts from factories in Bangladesh.

UN Slams Bulgaria over Detention, Integration of RefugeesDiplomacy | December 6, 2010, Monday // 14:58| views
Human rights organizations have been criticizing the Bulgarian government for keeping asylum-seekers in the notorious detention facility in Busmantsi. Photo by BGNES
The Bulgarian authorities have been criticized anew by the UN Refugee Agency for detaining unlawfully foreign refugees and asylum-seekers in the notorious facility in Busmantsi near Sofia.
The Bulgarian authorities continue to detain refugees for longer than they have the right to at the facility for temporary accommodation in Busmantsi, said Tatyana Valchanova from the Sofia Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees.
The UNHCR presented Monday a report on the life of asylum-seekers and refugees in seven Eastern European countries including Bulgaria.
She explained that the detainees periodically stage protest rallies inside the facility and some of them take the Bulgarian state to court. The refugees are usually kept in Busmantsi from two weeks to a few months.
Valchanova has pointed out that the major problem in Bulgaria is that even though seeking asylum is not a crime, the refugees in Bulgaria get detained.
Human rights organizations have been demanding for quite some time that legislation amendments be adopted in order to guarantee that the only foreign citizens that will be detained in Busmantsi should be people who are to subject to deportation or present some kind of threat and could hide.
Anna Andreeva, a representative of the Bulgarian Agency for Refugees, also said during the press conference that asylum seekers should not be detained in Busmantsi.
She pointed out that the government has already undertaken measures to release the asylum seekers that should not be held there and to transfer them to the respective open facilities. She also said the population of the detention facility has already started to decrease.
Valchanova from UNHCR explained that it is very hard for foreigners with refugee status to find employment in Bulgaria. What is more, in order to be entitled to receive unemployment or other welfare benefits, they need to have been employed and then to have been registered as unemployed for at least nine months.
At the same time, however, there has been some progress in that respect since in 2010 so far, for the first time 25 asylum seekers have been registered with the Bulgarian State Employment Agency; there were none registered the previous year.

Area pair ready for state tourney
HILLSDALE - For a pair of area prep wrestlers, the chance to shine on the biggest stage in prep wrestling in Michigan has arrived.
Reading's Trey Shafer and Hillsdale's Kevin Curby will compete at the MHSAA state individual tournament, which runs today through Saturday at the Palace of Auburn Hills.
Shafer (34-8), competing in Division 4, will face Joe Traynham (43-3) in the first round on Thursday.
Curby, meanwhile (44-6) will lock up with Grayling's Nick Petrie (44-9) in his first-round matchup.
It's Curby's fourth trip to the state tournament, and as a senior, Curby's last.
He's ready to give it his best shot. Curby has not placed on the awards podium, which includes the top eight wrestlers, his first three trips to the Palace.
That's something he's like to change in this his final trip.
"I feel like I'm one of the best guys in my bracket," Curby said.
Out of Curby's six losses this season, four have come to Dundee's Brandon Whitman (50-2).
The two would not see each other until the finals the way the bracket is set up.
So, Curby's plan is to take it one period at a time, one match at a time.
"I've really enjoyed this season," Curby said. "It would be great to finish it by making it to the finals and bringing home a state title."
That's just the kind of approach Curby's father, Hillsdale coach Jerry Curby, wants to see.
"Kevin has been here before, and he knows what he needs to do," Coach Curby said.

Members of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) have warned that EU plans to open up broadcasting bands to mobile telephony could create significant interference problems.
One of the Commission's proposals, service neutrality, would allow all areas of radio spectrum to be used for any purpose. If mobile phones were permitted in the broadcasting bands, the broadcasters claim consumers may suffer from widespread and far-reaching interference, even if "sub-bands" for mobile applications were introduced in the broadcasting bands.
The statement argues that, "market-based management of radio spectrum in the broadcasting bands is a threat to Europe's broadcasting systems" and warn that while "flexibility and spectrum trading may increase the revenue of some players, [it] may limit efficient use of the spectrum and the plurality of the offer."
While the broadcasters welcome the Commission recognition of the need to allow for exceptions to the principle of service neutrality, the statement claims that because the structures of broadcasting and media markets around Europe differ widely, so do public needs and expectations and call for EU member states to retain their freedom to decide on spectrum use in the broadcasting bands, in order to promote their "audiovisual policies, media pluralism, cultural and linguistic diversity".

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what assessment he has made of the effect of charging victims of domestic violence up to £175 for a medical letter to prove they were abused on the ability of victims to access legal aid.
22 November 2018
We are aware that some GPs have been charging to provide letters as evidence of domestic abuse to support legal aid applications. Charges for services provided by GPs are set through the contractual relationship between GPs and the NHS.
This practice is unacceptable. GPs are charging people at their most vulnerable and we are working with the Department of Health and Social Care to identify what more we could do to help victims of domestic abuse access the help they need. This important issue has been put forward as part of the GP contract negotiations for 2019-20. Whilst the content of those negotiations is not discussed publicly until an agreement has been reached, the Government is committed to dealing with this issue, through this process.

What wasp is this?
November 10, 2010 9:33 pm
We have wasps?? feeding on our tea trees in the garden. I have tried to identify this but the marking differ from the available resources.
We spent a bit of time researching this and though we have not found a perfect match, we believe with some certainty that this is a Flower Wasp in the family Tiphiidae. We started our search where we generally start with Australian insects, on the Brisbane Insect website. There are some similarities to the images of the Yellow Flower Wasp in the genus Agruimyia that is pictured on the Brisbane Insect website, but the markings are very different. There is an unidentified Flower Wasp at the bottom of the family page on the Brisbane Insect Website, and the markings are totally different, but the body structure and wing veinage seem similar. The What Bug is That? Australian website has a head on view of a Flower Wasp feeding on the blossoms of the tea tree that is probably the closest visual match we have found. There is a photo of a mounted specimen of Thynnus zonatus on a Tasmanian government website that also bears a resemblance to your wasp, so we did a search on that genus and hit paydirt with a photo tentatively identified as Thynnus apterus on RedBubble. Your wasp is nearly identical to the male wasp on RedBubble and photographer posted this comment: “This is a wingless Female Flower Wasp but I’m actually not sure of this species. Brisbane Insects have a shot and speculate Catocheilus sp., (synonym: Hemithynnus sp.). But I’ve found something close on the WA Ag Dept ICDB Specimen Images that seems close to Thynnus apterus? If anyone knows let me know. (see accompanying shots) Now the story.
I was out in the middle of the day hope to find some nice reptiles or insects and was following an Owl Fly when I saw this lady come out of the sandy soil and climb up the nearest shrub. As she reached the top I heard a buzz past my ear and a yellow headed winged male landed on her (I moved away a bit at this stage having a healthy respect for “flying” wasps!!!). After a quick pash they were copulating and he flew off carrying the wingless female. From the time she emerged from the soil, set off her pheromones and was carried away on her honeymoon the whole episode to less than a minute and a half. Talk about a whirlwind romance with his child bride!!!!” The photos were taken at Emerald Beach in New South Wales, the same state as your city of Wollongong. Most of the wasps in this group in Australia have wingless females and the winged males fly about with the females attached during the mating process. Just to create additional confusion, when we did an image search for Thynnus apterus, a nearly identical image of a mounted specimen identified as Agriomyia maculata (flower wasp) popped up from the entomology collection of an Australian museum. After an hour, we thought this is enough research for now. We are confident that you have a Flower Wasp in the family Tiphiidae, which may be either Thynnus apterus or Agriomyia maculata, or the two names may be synonymous for the same species.
Ed Note: April 4, 2013
We returned from a holiday and found a slew of mail, including this correction with the explanation that the family has now been split because of DNA analysis. DNA analysis is now revolutionizing entomology, and we are a bit sad that observations are now not enough for conclusive species identification. “Dead and spread” to quote Julian Donahue now seems to be the only way we mere humans will ever know for sure if the taxonomy is correct until the next new revolution in attempting to understand the complexity of life on our planet is discovered.
Correction: April 4, 2013
It should read now Thynnidae.

This one's all good news. Farm markets are growing at an unprecedented rate across the US State of Washington, which now has over 100 of them. In metro areas, every neighborhood wants one. The latest trend is to go year-round:
The West Seattle Farmers Market, which last year saw $1.1 million in vendor sales -- a 300 percent increase over the previous year -- is the latest to go year-round.The offerings are expanding.
Much has changed in 10 years, market and city leaders say. What was once a limited effort with mostly produce has gone mainstream, with a broader range of choices, from flowers to handcrafted cheeses and pastas, artisan breads, farmstead honey and cider, meats, eggs, herbs and other locally produced bounty.Reportedly some of the small Asian neighborhood grocery stores are upset about losing sales. But volumes growing, the rest is all to the good, and people will have to adjust.
The University District, the oldest neighborhood farmers market and the largest, saw $2.2 million in vendor sales last year, with more than 2,000 vendor stalls, and will celebrate its 15th anniversary this summer.Read the whole story, we suggest. For details check out the Washington State Farmers Markets Association.
We have to wonder if this trend represents a broader convergence: happens because large segment of population wants healthy food, because the region has already established supporting bike trail network, and because traffic has become insufferable. Let us know what you think the key factors are and whether other "green metro areas" are in line to experience the same.
Meanwhile, back at the custom bike factory...

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what plans he has to provide specific funding for the implementation of the Government's commitment to end ageism in the NHS.
Implementation of the national service framework (NSF) for older people, including the standard to root out age discrimination, is supported by the substantial additional investment that has been provided for the national health service since the NSF's publication in 2001. In 2001–02 and 2002–03, the NHS received average annual increases of 6.3 per cent, above inflation. Cash allocations to primary care trusts in the three years from 2003–04 will provide an average increase over the three years of 30.83 per cent.Since publication of the NSF, significant progress has been made in tackling age discrimination. NHS organisations have checked their written policies to ensure they have no inappropriate age discrimination. Only a small number of age-related written policies were found, and the evidence base for them is being reviewed. A tool to help identify incidence of implicit age discrimination—by comparing, across the country, the rates of 10 hospital procedures by different age groups—has been provided and this is currently being developed further. We have funded Age Concern to run eight events on age discrimination across England later this year.

Latest update: August 28th, 2014
New York Police and its Hate Crime unit are investigating a Monday evening attack by pro-Arab hoodlums for peace who peacefully harassed and assaulted a young Jewish couple on New York City’s Upper East Side.
Two cars and several motorcycles were involved in the gang-up on the couple until the attackers fled the scene in a car that was flying Palestinian Authority flags, according to The New York Post.
The gang yelled “anti-Semitic statements’ at the woman and her 27-year-old husband, who was wearing a kippa.
The violence started when the attackers hurled a water bottle at the woman, hitting her. He came to her defense, and the punks punched him, slightly cutting one ear but enough that required medical care.
Anti-Israeli protesters in a London suburb last week also used the PA flag to stir up an incident by parading in an “unemployment protest” outside a kosher delicatessen, prompting one of the Jewish customers to try to settle the score.
British police arrested him for assault.
The New York officers in blue still are looking for the gang that attacked the Jewish couple, in the heart of an area with a high Jewish population.
It is just another one of hundreds of anti-Semitic incidents in the United States that are considered as “isolated” by bleeding heart, consensus-seeking Jewish leaders and the Commission of Political Correctness for Radical Islam and Peace for Palestine without Israel.Tzvi Ben-Gedalyahu

Open data for the crowd: an account of citizen science at ETH Library
Keywords:open data, crowdsourcing, ETH Library, ETH Zurich
AbstractThis paper gives an account of ETH Library’s combined strategy of implementing an open data policy and using crowdsourcing to improve metadata. Both activities go hand in hand and promote each other. ETH Library’s Image Archive was the first unit to provide content for free download in high resolution. This paved the way for a very successful crowdsourcing campaign during which citizen scientists located places, dated photographs, and identified people and artefacts. This positive experience led to further crowdsourcing activities in other ETH Library units. Important conditions for success apart from the open data policy were conscious community management by social media channels and promoting competition within a gamification approach.

Do you sometimes feel isolated or vulnerable as a gay person? Does the insensitivity or bigotry of others get you down? It’s not easy to be gay. But there is hope. Hypnosis can help you be strong and proud in a world that can be hostile to those who are different.
The Challenges of Being Gay
Gay people have never had it so good, in some ways, and yet there is still such a long way to go to reach full equality and acceptance. Even if you live somewhere that bans any discrimination for sexual orientation, toleration and acceptance are not at all the same thing, are they? And there are still plenty of places where being gay is downright dangerous. It can be hard to find a gay community to be part of. Who do you look to for your role models? How do you cope with the overwhelming heterosexuality all around you, and the way it’s so heavily promoted as ‘the norm’?
Using Hypnosis to Help Cope
It’s easy to understand why you might feel disheartened and even depressed in such circumstances, or angry and bitter at the unfairness of it all. But this is no way to live. True equality and integration is still too far off for you to spend your energies on anger, bitterness or depression. So what can you do to fortify and encourage yourself and feel good right where things are at now? Hypnosis can help you be strong and proud.
Gay in a Straight World Hypnosis Session

The idea that all Americans deserve basic healthcare has been a divisive issue since President Obama made giving all Americans access to affordable healthcare insurance a priority, and it is a mystery why chief among the opponents of the Affordable Care Act are evangelical Christians. One would think that any follower of Christ would welcome an opportunity to help Americans, especially poor Americans, to gain access to basic medical care, but around the country conservative Christians have led the fight to deny healthcare for the poor by opposing Medicaid expansion in the Affordable Care Act.
A question most decent Americans ask when confronted with the knowledge that evangelicals press state legislators and governors to oppose expanding Medicaid for their state’s poorest residents is, “Is it because they’re hard-hearted or cold-hearted? It’s probably because they don’t understand the problem because they have never walked in somebody’s shoes.” That was the assessment of Ohio Governor John Kasich who many Americans would hesitate to label a compassionate American, but he asked the question last week at an event to promote Medicaid expansion and wondered “Why is it that some people don’t get it?” It is because they are inhumane, cold-hearted, and hate poor Ohio residents as much as they hate President Obama who proposed Medicaid expansion to provide basic healthcare for the poor.
Kasich cited his religious convictions about caring for the poor in pushing Medicaid Expansion that will cover between 275,000 to 330,000 low-income Ohio residents without healthcare insurance. Kasich, like any semi-compassionate human being, cannot understand the opposition to giving the poor healthcare coverage, and he likely was flummoxed that two pro-life groups and six Republican lawmakers filed a lawsuit to prevent the state from accepting federal money to fund the Medicaid expansion. The inhumane pro-life and conservatives assert that Kasich made an illegal move in convening a seven-member special panel that voted 5 to 2 to go ahead with plans to provide healthcare for hundreds-of-thousands of low-income Ohioans.
According to the Associated Press, Right to Life chapters in Cleveland and Cincinnati joined the conservative’s lawsuit because they “oppose the use of federal funding for expansion and wanted the chance to debate the issue with the Legislature, according to the filing.” It is unclear why two so-called “Christian” pro-life groups lust to deny healthcare coverage for the poor because there are protections in the Affordable Care Act that prohibit federal funds for abortion services as well as the Hyde Amendment restricting federal funding for abortion. It is equally unclear why, in light of several new abortion restrictions in the state’s two-year budget, right to life advocates are opposed to Medicaid expansion other than as Kasich put it, they are cold-hearted.
The Ohio budget contains some of the harshest anti-choice measures in the nation including stripping funding from Planned Parenthood and shifting it to phony clinics to entrap pregnant women with the promise of free ultrasounds then misinform them about abortions, eliminate funding from rape crisis centers, and make impossible requirements that prevent clinics from staying open. The worse part of the Ohio pro-life budget was inclusion of a personhood clause defining a fertilized egg as a person before it implants in the uterine wall making certain forms of birth control murder in the state of Ohio. As an economic punishment, Ohio forces a woman to undergo a transvaginal ultrasound before they have an abortion and requires them to pay for it whether their doctor thinks it is necessary or not. It is painfully obvious that the right to life groups oppose Medicaid expansion for the same reason the six Republicans suing Kasich do; they are cold and hard-hearted.
For many political observers the fact that Kasich pressured fellow Republicans for months to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act was remarkable. Indeed, Ohio is only the fourth Republican-controlled state take advantage of free expansion for three years. It is also noteworthy that Kasich set aside his conservative disregard for the poor and disadvantaged to provide them with healthcare based on his religious convictions, but it is too bad Kasich cannot extend his Christian compassion to other areas within his purview. However, some humanity for the poor is better than none at all and may signal that other religious Republicans will follow Kasich’s lead. It is highly likely that Kasich, like Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, can hardly pass up the economic benefits expanding Medicaid will bring to Ohio, but if he is prone to cite religious compassion it is certain that low-income Ohio residents will take healthcare access regardless if it is for economic or humane reasons and may give hope to poor people in other Republican-controlled states.
However, based on Republicans’ virulent opposition to anything associated with President Obama, it is unlikely low-income residents in most Republican-led states have any hope, or delusion, that their religiously-inclined leaders will take advantage of expanding Medicaid; especially if they have active right-to-life groups in their state. Perhaps the bible-loving pro-life crowd will adhere to the bible commandment to tell the truth and admit that their opposition to Medicaid expansion for men, women, and children has nothing to do with being pro-life and everything to do with being Americanized cold-hearted Christians.

“SO IF YOU SINFUL PEOPLE KNOW HOW TO GIVE GOOD GIFTS TO YOUR CHILDREN, HOW MUCH MORE WILL YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER GIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT TO THOSE WHO ASK HIM.”
When a person receives Jesus into their heart, the Holy Spirit takes up residence in their lives (Ephesians 1:13-14, Romans 8:9,16-17). Therefore, if you are a Christian, you already have the Holy Spirit within you!The Holy Spirit is a guarantee that seals the security and confidence that Jesus has saved us. Why then is it that Jesus told the disciples (whom I’m pretty sure were born-again believers) to wait for the Holy Spirit to come (Luke 24:29, Acts 1:8)? In addition, the authors of the New Testament repeatedly encouraged the believers to be “filled with the Holy Spirit” (Ephesians 5:18) and spoke of certain disciples being “filled” or “full of the Holy Spirit” (Acts 4:8,31; 13:4).
This is all because, despite having already received the Holy Spirit upon accepting Jesus, we need and get to have both an initial and a continual welcoming, filling, and dependence on the Holy Spirit.
Without the Holy Spirit and continual reliance on Him, we will be left powerless. Even Jesus was dependent on the Holy Spirit (look at His conception, His teachings, and the fact that He didn’t even do one miracle until He was baptized with the Spirit). You can also see a difference in power and boldness from the church in the first chapter of Acts to the second, all because they encountered the Holy Spirit.
Jesus said that the Holy Spirit was to be our “Helper” (John 14:16, 14:26), so when we welcome Him and ask for His help, He fills us so that we can take on His nature and power (1 Corinthians 6:11, 2 Corinthians 3:18, Galatians 5:22-23), He directs us (Acts 8:29, 13:4, 16:6-7, 20:23), and He unleashes His gifts within us(1 Cor 12:4-11).
I remember when I first became curious about the Holy Spirit while studying the book of Acts. That curiosity grew into a hunger that led to continued seasons of explosive growth and even greater healing in my life. Our heavenly Father is ready to give us the Holy Spirit when we ask, so as we welcome Him and ask for His help in this season of prayer, let it be a non-stop receiving – prayer to prayer, moment to moment, season to season – of being filled!
“Thank you God for the gift of the Holy Spirit. I welcome You during this time and season of prayer. I ask that You would fill me, clothe me with Your power, direct my life and path, activate the gifts of Your Spirit within me, and teach me to pray.”

Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers sees Congress taking a "sector by sector" approach to overhauling permitting this year.
Why it matters: In a chaotic Congress, it might be more practical for lawmakers to take narrow slices out of environmental laws for specific industries — e.g., nuclear and hydropower.
Driving the news: The House Energy and Commerce chair — who isn't seeking another term — said at an Axios Pro event last night that she's already working with the Senate on nuclear and pipelines permitting.
"I think it will probably be more sector by sector. We're gonna negotiate on pipelines … we're continuing to have discussions and negotiate with my Senate colleagues on the nuclear package. That's probably more the approach it's going to be."
On hydro, she said with a laugh that a deal will be struck: "It's Cathy's final year, so the Senate has to make this happen!"
Zoom in: McMorrisRodgers believes the White House's implementation of the NEPA changes in the debt ceiling deal have hurt negotiations on a second round permitting deal, echoing concerns from other Republicans.
"The way it was implemented, it actually made [permitting processes] longer and more cumbersome," she said.
What's next: The nuclear licensing package McMorris Rodgers mentioned probably has the easiest negotiating glidepath. But look out for talks in the coming months on hydropower and the pipeline reauth.
On oversight, McMorrisRodgers said she'd like John Podesta to testify before her committee.
She and Shelley Moore Capito sent a letter to the White House this week questioning whether Podesta's appointment to replace John Kerry as climate envoy is lawful without Senate confirmation.
Meanwhile, she gave little new information about her investigation into car companies' ties to China. She reiterated what she told Axios last September: they'll only have to come testify if they don't comply with info requests.

Solent students teach street art
Two Solent students delivered street art workshops on 7 October at Woodlands Community College as part of the Showcase Gallery outreach programme, which inspires young people to develop their creative skills as well as providing Solent students with work experience.
Lynsey Carter, in her second year studying Fine Art, and Will Whittington, studying a masters in Visual Communications, taught year 9 pupils new techniques in making street art.
Kate Maple, curator of the Showcase Gallery, said: “We taught the pupils chalk drawing on pavements, spray painting onto clingfilm (called cellograff) and large scale vinyl painting onto cellograff.
“These are techniques that do not damage property in any way so they are a positive form of street art that are temporary, large scale and very striking.”
Will got involved with the project after working as a technician at the Solent Showcase Gallery.
He said: “Spray paint alongside street art is currently exploding in the art scene. Due to this, these workshops are in demand across the country.
“It’s great experience for me to work with clients and network with groups I never would have met otherwise.”
Lynsey got involved after expressing an interest in educational workshop environments. She encouraged the children to think about contrasting colours, shading and composition.
She said: “The students were fully engaged in the activities of the morning. They were excitable as it was a very free workshop where they could make their own decisions.
“Observing the students’ approach to the activities has opened my mind to new ways I could approach my own projects.”
The Showcase Gallery has run mini street art sessions in other schools and at the Showcase Gallery. There are also plans to work with feeder colleges in due course.

Artichoke Hearts Sauteed with Baby Peas. Artichoke Hearts are easily sauteed in a skillet with baby peas, onions, garlic, and olive oil. These artichoke hearts become delicately tender to every bite while the peas are sweet and delicious, making this side dish irresistible! Best of all, it’s ready in minutes!
Artichoke Hearts Sauteed with Baby Peas…
- It makes a “healthy” side dish that goes with practically any entrée.
- A wonderful combo of vegetables that’s flavorful.
- An easy recipe, not complicated.
- When cooking with artichoke hearts, it’s best to use frozen artichokes. It helps speed up the cooking time.
- Low-carb, low-fat, and keto-friendly.
This is our mom’s recipe. She never measures anything, and yet she amazes us with how relaxed she is when cooking, and claims it’s due to years of experience.
Ingredients Needed for this recipe…
- frozen artichoke hearts: we used one package of 12-ounce bag from Trader Joe’s.
- frozen baby peas: one package, about 16-ounce.
- extra virgin olive oil: always choose good quality olive oil.
- onion: one medium onion chopped to flavor the veggies.
- garlic: we prefer fresh garlic, but if you don’t have any on hand, you can use garlic powder.
- fresh herbs: we prefer fresh Italian parsley with this recipe. It will give the veggies additional flavor and an aromatic freshness to them.
- seasonings: crushed red pepper (or a dash of cayenne pepper), and salt.
- liquid: only some water is added to the veggies to simmer and softened them.
Notes and Tips…
- This delicious side dish can be made easily on the stovetop.
- Plus, you can make it ahead, and reheat it before serving.
- Nowadays, we don’t have the time, or the patience to clean “fresh” artichokes. So we prefer frozen hearts, they are very convenient to have in your freezer when you need them.
Delicious options to serve it with…
- Parmesan Crusted Chicken Cutlets
- Flounder Fillets in Lemon Sauce
- London Broil Steak Grilled To Perfection
- Roasted Boneless Turkey Breast

Vladimir Lossky established himself as one of the most brilliant Orthodox scholars in the years between his departure from Russia in 1923 and his death in 1958. His uncompromising faithfulness to scriptural and patristic tradition, coupled with his constant concern for an articulate Orthodox witness in the West, make his works indispensable for an understanding of the theology of the Eastern Church today. Here, in twelve essays, he explores the implications of the Orthodox understanding of man's destiny '"communion in love with triune God".
Concerned with the fundamental questions of theology, Lossky addresses the following: can we really know God? How are we to understand the relation of creation to the Creator? Where is it that we are to find the heart of the Christian message? In the process of answering questions such as these, the author shows the doctrinal issues are not just abstract propositions for theological debate but affect the whole of Church life.

WHO WE ARE
STING is an ancient (in PC years ) gaming community that formed way back in 1997 as a Quake 1 Team Fortress competitive clan. Strong friendships were formed with new and old members alike as we went from game to game (HL1 TFC, Planetside 1, WoW, LoTRO, SWG, SWTOR, and many others).
We have always prioritized having fun and friendships over anything else - and still completed game content accordingly with those two priorities intact.
We are a DAY ONE classic raiding guild.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
We are currently looking for the following roles:
- 1x T6 Geared Prot Paladin (Afternoon Team)
- 1x Ret Paladin or Shaman (Afternoon Team)
- 1x Non-Paladin Healer (Late Night Team)
- Afternoon Team: 1p-4p ST / 10a-1p PST
- Late Night Team: 10p-1a ST / 7p-10p PST
Note these are two separate raid teams. All teams have day one classic experience veterans who farmed Naxx.
WHAT TYPE OF GUILD WE ARE
The truth is we are now all old, married and (some) with kids. We are looking for members who are NOT typically ‘hardcore’ or ‘no-lifers’. Those types are perfectly fine! However, they would probably not like our guild.
We are looking for the following types of members:
- People who enjoy meeting new friends via gaming
- Older 30+ crowd who have a job and family commitments but can still take time during the week to game with his/her buddies (though under 30s crowd always welcome)
- Casual to semi-hardcore players who will make raid times and want to complete tier content. We do expect anyone participating to know their class well, able to research the fights ahead of time and follow instructions.
- You have a good attitude, are friendly and want to have fun playing one of the best moments WoW history.
If you are interested in joining us, join our discord and message the appropriate team leader: discord.gg/tbWsYQ4ZP4 or add RedDog#0332 on discord.

CYP26A1 is a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes. The cytochrome P450 proteins are monooxygenases which catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids. This endoplasmic reticulum protein acts on retinoids, including all-trans-retinoic acid (RA), with both 4-hydroxylation and 18-hydroxylation activities. This enzyme regulates the cellular level of retinoic acid which is involved in regulation of gene expression in both embryonic and adult tissues.

Monday - Book Review Roundup: Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake
Cas Lowood has inherited an unusual vocation: He kills the dead. So did his father before him, until he was gruesomely murdered by a ghost he sought to kill. Now, armed with his father's mysterious and deadly athame, Cas travels the country with his kitchen-witch mother and their spirit-sniffing cat. Together they follow legends and local lore, trying to keep up with the murderous dead--keeping pesky things like the future and friends at bay.
When they arrive in a new town in search of a ghost the locals call Anna Dressed in Blood, Cas doesn't expect anything outside the ordinary: track, hunt, kill. What he finds instead is a girl entangled in curses and rate, a ghost like he's never faced before. She still wears the dress she wore on the day of her brutal murder in 1958: once white, now stained red and dripping blood. Since her death, Anna has killed any and ever person who has dared to step into the deserted Victorian she used to call home.
But she, for whatever reason, spares Cas's life.
Ahhhh!! I loved this book. I read it in one sitting and now I want to read it again just writing about it. I've mentioned I'm a sucker for a male point of view, and Cas is awesome. He has a bad-boy attitude with a side of sweetness. His relationship with his mom shows how he is underneath the ghost-slaying lifestyle he lives. His goal is to kill enough ghosts until he feels he's ready to face the one that killed his father.
When he meets Anna Dressed in Blood, she's every bit as terrifying as the locals say she is. She rips apart anyone who comes into her house...except for Cas. Anna is the most powerful ghost Cas has ever met, and knows he has to figure out what made her that way before he can kill her. With the help of two unexpected (but welcome) friendships, Cas and crew set out to solve the puzzle. Cas has to come to grips with his feelings for Anna so he can do the job he set out to do.
Again, I loved this book. It's funny, quirky, heart-breaking, and wonderfully written.


As for Pennsylvania and Delaware, both placed in a 12-state group seen as having “mixed results” in matching intent with reality. Not great, but better than being labeled as “trailing behind” by Pew.
Delaware got kudos for being one of just nine states to undertake regular reviews of all of their incentives. The First State performs its review every two years, while Arkansas, California and Nebraska do so annually.
Despite Pennsylvania’s not-horrible ranking, the Pew report, called “Evidence Counts,” didn’t have much good to say about the state’s review process. It focused on the state’s Keystone Opportunity Zone program, which was begun during the Ridge administration and provides up to 12 years of tax relief to companies that locate in often-blighted areas.
The state Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) said in 2007 that the KOZ program had created “nearly 64,000 jobs” since 1999. A year later, the agency lowered that estimate to “less than 35,000,” the Pew report says, and quotes a legislative committee report that said neither figure was reliable.
An Inquirer analysis in 2011 of the original KOZs in the Philadelphia area found little rejuvenation in blighted neighborhoods and just $6.3 million in added property tax revenue. The article also noted that there was very little hard data on whether the program was effective.
A December 2010 report, called “Show Us the Subsidies” by the nonprofit Good Jobs First, also criticized the reporting by states on their economic development programs, noting that it often omits information that could help determine if they’re effective.
Finally, a 208-page report in June 2010 by Pennsylvania’s Legislative Budget and Finance Committee highlighted one Stone Age problem: The DCED still relies on paper files rather than a computer-based record-keeping system. Another hitch is that nearly all job creation and retention data is self-reported by companies, with no effort made by state officials to verify the information.
Because states are showing no inclination to reduce their economic development incentives, the least we as taxpayers should expect is a clear accounting of the outcomes — good or bad — from such investments.
We’re just at the start of earnings season, so not many companies either based locally or with significant operations here are scheduled to report. On deck this week are:
Monday: M&T Bank.
Tuesday: Fulton Financial, Johnson & Johnson.
Wednesday: Crown Holdings, eBay, Harleysville Savings Financial, PNC Financial Services Group, Quest Diagnostics, SLM.
Thursday: Bank of America, DuPont, Gardner Denver, Penn National Gaming, Southwest Airlines, Verizon Communications.
Friday: General Electric, Kimberly-Clark, National Penn Bancshares.
Spring is also the time for annual shareholders meetings. Here are the handful of local companies set to hold theirs this week:
Monday: Prophase Labs.
Tuesday: Public Service Enterprise Group, Univest Corp. of Pennsylvania.
Wednesday: Innovative Solutions & Support Group.

RITA Ora took well deserved break from filming The Voice Australia to enjoy a bike ride with unlikely celeb pal Russell Crowe.
The pair were spotted taking in the sights of Sydney on two wheels alongside Crowe's girlfriend Britney Theriot, 30.
Rita donned a pair of black leggings and matching zip crop top for the outing which she accessorised with several gold necklaces.
Putting safety first, the Hot Right Now hitmaker sported a bicycle helmet and shades as she followed Russell from sight-to-sight.
Gladiator star Russell, 56, followed Rita's fashion lead and sported all black for the occasion while Britney, who is 26-years his junior, wore a pair of patterned leggings with a black vest.
Rita has been keeping her fans up to date with her antics while in Australia and shared a series of bikini shots on Instagram earlier this week.
She told her followers: "Wishing everyone the best beginning of the week…I love you guys so much."
The sizzling snaps sent Rita's fans into a frenzy, with one writing: "You're so gorgeous beach babe!"
Another posted: "You are stunning. Hope you're enjoying Sydney."
A third gushed: "Orange is definitely your colour."
Rita has been making the most of her time in Australia while she films The Voice.
Joining Rita on the panel will be Keith Urban, Guy Sebastian and Jessica Mauboy.
The songstress spent 14 days in hotel quarantine before she was allowed to explore the Aussie sights amid lockdown rules.
The star appears to be over her UK lockdown-flouting drama – when she broke the rules to attend her 30th birthday party at a restaurant in west London in November.
She later apologised in a statement which read she was “deeply sorry” and “takes full responsibility” for her actions.
Meanwhile Rita – who has given up partying after her lockdown-breaking birthday bash – has told fans just how she keeps herself in shape and it's down to working out two to three hours a day.
Rita follows a strict high-protein, low sugar diet religiously. She told Cosmopolitan: "I watch what I eat but I just cut my portions in half."
"In the morning, I have two boiled eggs, asparagus, and half a cup of muesli with almond milk.
"For lunch, I have chicken or fish with vegetables, and for dinner, I have six to eight ounces of fish with vegetables and half a potato."
Elsewhere, Russell and Britney were first linked together in October while pictured getting cozy in a local Sydney, Australia match.
Though their blossoming romance appears to be new, Britney and Russell’s history goes way back.
As former costars, the couple acted alongside each other in the 2013 film, Broken City.
Russell plays the mayor of NYC, Nicolas Hostetler while Britney acted opposite as Valerie.
The movie credit is the actress’ only listed role to this date and she has since ventured into real estate.
In 2012, Rusell split from his longtime wife, Danielle Spencer – although their divorce was not finalized until six years later.
