This Thursday, December 15, the Venezuelan diplomat, Félix Plasencia, was appointed to the role of secretary general of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America – Peoples’ Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP), during the 18th Summit of Heads of State and Government of the ALBA-TCP.
The member states of the organisation elected to appoint Plasencia to be in charge of the ALBA-TCP during the current summit, which began this Wednesday in Havana, Cuba, bringing together the various leaders of the region. Plasencia had held the position of Venezuelan ambassador to Bogotá, Colombia, from August 11, 2022, under the appointment of Venezuelan president, Nicolás Maduro.
Asumo con entrega y empeño Bolivariano, esta tarea como nuevo Secretario Ejecutivo del @ALBATCP , seguiremos resaltando los valores de nuestra Alianza y la integración de nuestros Pueblos. https://t.co/dMJt6IR6T2
— Felix Plasencia (@plasenciafelixr) December 15, 2022
Maduro congratulated Plasencia via social media for this new opportunity to continue uniting the countries of the continent and to wave the flags raised by the founders of the ALBA-TCP, Fidel Castro and Hugo Chávez.
Prior to being ambassador to Bogotá and secretary general of the ALBA-TCP, Félix Plasencia had also held the positions of Venezuelan foreign minister between 2021 and 2022, and minister for tourism and foreign trade from 2019 to 2020.
From December 14, 2020, the position of secretary general of the ALBA-TCP had been held by the Bolivian diplomat, Sacha Llorenti, who was elected by the ALBA-TCP member states.
During Llorenti’s administration, he advocated for the strengthening of integration mechanisms amongst the peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean amidst the systematic aggression of the imperial elites against them, according to the official press release.
“I assume with dedication and Bolivarian commitment this task as the new Secretary General of @ALBATCP,” Plasencia wrote via social media, promising to strengthen the union of the region. “We will continue to highlight the values of our Alliance and the integration of our Peoples.”

William Bosi Is Awarded Miquel Trophyby Duncan Campbell - UKC Nov/2013
This news story has been read 2,608 times
Young Scottish Team GB Member, William Bosi (14), has been awarded the 2013 Miquel Trophy at the Commonwealth Games Dinner. The Miquel Trophy is awarded to 'The Most Improved Young Sportsperson of the Year' and this is the first year it has been awarded to a rock climber.
William has been climbing for 6 years and in that time, achieved what would take many a lifetime. In competition climbing he represents Great Britain in both the junior lead and bouldering disciplines, and has finished in 2nd place twice in this season's IFSC Youth Cup in Edinburgh and Norway. Proving that he can cut it in the bouldering discipline as well as lead climbing, William finished 3rd in the European Youth Cup in Laval, France, finishing the European Youth Cup in 2nd place overall. He is ranked 11th in the world in bouldering and 2nd in lead climbing.
William is far from being just a plastic puller, having climbed the 8b+, Slow Food at Ceuse earlier this year. On his blog, William talked about his trip to Ceuse:
"I had great fun climbing at Ceuse and the crag is amazing, but I wasn't so keen on the walk in! At Ceuse I did my first 8b+ Slow Food (6th go) which I really enjoyed as it was crimps in a roof, and my second 8b L'ami de tout le monde, which I think is the most fun route I have ever done.
My tick list included - 3 x 8a (2nd go) Carte Blanche, Bourinator, La couleur du vent; 8a+ Rat man, which unfortunately was a one move wonder but apart from that was good climbing, and lots of easier onsight practice."

Grow your own toys with Tennessee dancing gourd
Most male singing groups have a lead singer who is a tenor. So the Four Tops lead singer Levi Stubb, who had a deep baritone voice, was forced to push his range ever higher, giving his singing a sound of pleading, imploring and urgency. The children's toy, a spinning top, with its squat body and sharply pointed bottom, also pushes our senses because as it spins on its vertical axis, it balances on the very tip, like singer Levi, due to the gyroscopic effect.
While you might not grow a voice like Levi Stubb, you can grow your own kids' tops, the Tennessee dancing gourd (Cucurbita pepo var. ovifera).
These adorable, 2-3-inch, green-and-white-striped bottle gourds are also called spinning gourds, according to Junior Gordon of Primm Springs, Tenn., who is the original source for this fun crop.
To spin the tiny gourds, hold the neck between your middle finger and thumb and quickly snap your fingers. The gourds will spin on their own for quite some time.
Schoolkids sometimes bring them to class as toys. When dried, the gourds take on a pale tan color. They are often painted and made into jewelry or Christmas tree decorations. They can be fashioned into miniature birdhouses to decorate craft projects or dollhouses. They even make scary-looking spirit doll heads.
The vigorous vines are very prolific producers of the tiny gourds. You can start the seeds indoors six to eight weeks before your last frost, or plant them directly in the ground in spring after all danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed up. Choose a spot that gets full sun.
They grow best in rich soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.5. Sow the seeds 1 inch deep with six to eight seeds in each hill or group. When the plants are a few inches high, thin them so there are only three or four plants in each hill. Space the hills 6 feet apart in each direction.
Good companion plants for gourds are pole beans, corn and sunflowers. Do not grow gourds near potatoes. Because of their small size, these gourds grow perfectly well on fences or up garden trellises.
Side dress with a good organic fertilizer when the spinning gourds begin to bloom. Seeds are available from many mail-order seed companies such as Seed Savers Exchange, 3094 North Winn Road, Decorah, IA 52101, seedsavers.org or 563-382-5990.
Grow your own kids' toys this year. Plant Tennessee dancing gourds, and you will soon be spinning to the Four Tops. No baritone needed.

Artificial intelligence (better known as AI) is well on its way to becoming an important part of the healthcare industry. Researchers have already proven that AI can detect skin cancer with more accuracy than dermatologists, diagnose deadly blood diseases, assist in radiology, and even help develop new medicines. Now, AI is being used to predict when patients are at risk for having a heart attack or stroke.
A study published in Circulation on February 14, 2020, found that heart attacks and strokes can be predicted by an AI tool. Dr. Kristopher Knott of the University College London’s Cardiovascular Science Institute carried out the study together with a team of researchers using cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) in tandem with AI. A CMR scan measures blood flow to the heart using a contrast agent. The heart muscle reacts to the agent, influencing blood flow. The stronger the blood flow, the lower the chance of heart vessels being blocked.
However, manually analyzing the results of the CMR can be very difficult and time-consuming. The painstaking process often produces less-than-accurate results, thus making it harder to recommend treatment to patients suffering from cardiovascular issues. So Knott and his team decided to bring AI into the equation.
The researchers trained an AI program to read the CMR scans of 1,000 patients and determine if their blood was flowing properly. When the process was complete, the team found that the AI was proficient at predicting patients’ outcomes. Not only was it able to verify that patients with reduced blood flow were more likely to suffer from a heart attack or a stroke, it could also diagnose–oftentimes better than a doctor–which patients would die or suffer from heart complications.
“The predictive power and reliability of the AI was impressive and easy to implement within a patient’s routine care. The calculations were happening as the patients were being scanned, and the results were immediately delivered to doctors,” said Dr. Knott.
His colleague, UCL cardiology professor James Moon, added: “Artificial intelligence is moving out of the computer labs and into the real world of healthcare, carrying out some tasks better than doctors could do alone.”
“We have tried to measure blood flow manually before, but it is tedious and time-consuming, taking doctors away from where they are needed most, with their patients.”
This discovery could pave the way for more accurate and efficient methods of diagnosing cardiovascular diseases. Breakthroughs like this one are always needed. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States, with over 640,000 Americans dying every year from heart-related illness.

2005 Lions tourist Shane Williams has admitted he is worried he may not have done enough to earn selection for this summer’s tour of South Africa.
Williams enjoyed an incredible year in 2008 when he picked up numerous awards, including the IRB World Player of the Year title, for a series of stunning performances for club and country.
2009 has not be so kind to the Welsh wing, however, as injuries have curtailed his game time and his form has not reached the meteoric heights of last year.
With the Ospreys crashing out of the Heineken Cup in humiliating fashion last weekend and Wales only managing a fourth-place finish in the 2009 Six Nations, Williams has not had too much to shout about over recent weeks.
A place in the Lions squad for the three-match series with the Springboks would be a great way to get over those disappointments but the 32-year-old says he is far from confident of being named in Ian McGeechan’s touring party this coming Tuesday.
"It’s in the back of my mind and I don’t think anyone who hasn’t played well will feel they are definitely going on this trip,” said Williams.
"There are a lot of players in the United Kingdom putting their hands up at the moment and the squad doesn’t get announced until the very last possible minute."
Whatever happens during Tuesday’s squad announcement in London, Williams is determined to end the season on a high with the Ospreys.
Former Wales coach Scott Johnson arrives as director of rugby this week ahead of the derby clash with the Scarlets on Saturday and Williams is desperate to help the Ospreys return to winning ways.
"It’s not falling apart at all. We’re as strong as ever and probably even more determined after recent results,” added Williams.
"The league is still to play for and there are no panic stations. We’ve played some good rugby this season and some not so good. We need to be more positive and learn from our defeats.”

In July, the Bank of Slovenia will adjust the measure limiting consumer lending. The amount of the minimum creditworthiness will be 745 euros instead of the current 915 euros.
The new lower credit limit will be based on minimum living expenses and some additional factors. Vice Governor and Deputy Governor of the Bank of Slovenia Primož Dolenc explained that the calculation of the consumer’s annual income will also take into account child allowance and some other social security benefits, which have been excluded so far.
“The basic idea of the action is to recognize the creditworthiness of that narrow circle of people who currently do not have this possibility, but according to our expert judgment are able to repay a certain amount of credit. These are persons whose net salary ranges somewhere between the minimum and average salary and for whom these amounts have so far been limited to 76 percent of the minimum salary,” added Dolenc.
They will introduce a single limit on the ratio between the annual cost of debt servicing and the borrower’s annual net income. This will now be set at the level of 50 percent, regardless of the level of income. At the same time, it will also reduce the percentage of permitted exceedances within this level, namely from ten percent to three percent.
Change in legislation in March
At the end of March, the National Assembly amended the Act on Macroprudential Supervision of the Financial System, which means that creditworthiness is no longer necessarily tied to enforcement legislation. The change was called for by the Ministry of Finance and the Bank of Slovenia, who, when raising the minimum wage, warned that the creditworthiness of borrowers with incomes up to the average wage had significantly decreased. After the change in the legislation, Banka Slovenia is enabled to establish such crediting conditions as are appropriate in their opinion.
The Bank of Slovenia is therefore now announcing changes in the assessment of loan approval:

A vehicular network is a type of communication network that enables vehicles to communicate with each other and the roadside infrastructure. The roadside infrastructure consists of fixed nodes such as roadside units (RSUs), traffic lights, road signs, toll booths, and so on. RSUs are devices equipped with communication capabilities that allow vehicles to obtain and share real-time information about traffic conditions, weather, road hazards, and other relevant information. These infrastructures assist in traffic management, emergency response, smart parking, autonomous driving, and public transportation to improve roadside safety, reduce traffic congestion, and enhance the overall driving experience. However, communication between the vehicles and the infrastructure devices could be deliberately disrupted by cyber attackers to cause fatal traffic accidents or congestion. One of the common methods used by such attackers is the wireless jamming attack, where the attacker uses a jamming device to transmit high-power radio signals on the same frequency that the vehicular network is using. This causes interference, delays, or prevents legitimate communications to the vehicles, disabling them from responding to obstacles, emergency services, and warning messages, resulting in serious consequences and posing a significant threat to the safety and efficiency of transportation systems. These safety concerns could be mitigated or avoided by implementing appropriate security measures to protect against jamming. This thesis will provide an overview of the vehicular network system and discuss security measures and methods needed to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the vehicular communication system.

The Forsyth Micro Computed Tomography (μCT) Core is an imaging facility equipped with a Scanco μCT 40, ex vivo μCT scanner, with a high throughput scanning option (auto sample exchanger). The scanner is designed for 3D X-ray imaging of small samples in high resolution, and will provide images and quantitative analyses of internal structures of ex vivo samples without any destructive procedures. The non-destructive nature of this technology allows investigators to carry out complementary analyses (e.g., histology) of the same samples. The instrument is basically designed for mineralized tissues. However, imaging of soft tissue, such as blood vessels, is also possible if an appropriate contrast reagent is used.
Users can analyze their data using one of the computer workstations containing either the Scanco analysis software or the Amira software package with the XImagePAQ extension for analyzing mineralized tissue samples.


Board member resigns
ELIOT — Planning Board member Gretchen West Sutton has decided to step down from her post, citing health issues as the reason for her resignation.
Barry Krasnow, chairman, read her letter of resignation aloud to board members, who were unaware of Sutton's decision until last night. Krasnow ended the announcement by saying simply, "You are going to be missed."
Sutton said it is the people she's worked with over the last year and a half as a board member that she'll miss the most.
"She has been a valid member," said board member Elizabeth O'Donoghue. "She has a lot of insight and keeps all of us in balance."
Sutton will hold her seat through one more meeting, completing her service at the end of August.
"She's really detailed," said board member Larry A. Dow. "She has been an extremely valuable member."
Sutton said anyone interested in filling the position should apply to the Eliot Board of Selectmen.
"They are going to need people," she said.

Nature is the Teacher to Santiago: A Symbolical Expression of Human Struggle in Hemingway’s ‘The Old Man and the Sea’ (Published)
The Old Man and The Sea’ (1951) is an epoch-making creation, of Ernest Miller Hemingway (1899-1961), a foremost American iconoclast, who targets on the representation of human struggles through the outreaching of different symbols and signs. Hemingway was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1953 and Nobel Prize in 1954 for this outstanding creation. Here, he intends to create a symbol for human existence through the struggles of Santiago-a Cuban fisherman as well as the protagonist in this novella. The struggles of Santiago are the manifestations of any individual’s capabilities of enduring the ultimate nature. Santiago is the incarnation of extreme reality who will be symbolized here as the unbeatable warrior of nature with which, he learns to believe in himself only because, he is the source of his own greatness and determination in the heart of the sea. Like Hemingway, he feels honor and proud in facing the struggle and in trying to keep up well with the passage of time, not being defeated by death or destruction. However, the aim of this further study is to intensify the things related to the various usages of symbols or sings by the writer here
The Struggle for Sovereignty and Nation Building in Ola Rotimi’s Akassa You Mi: Implications for Contemporary Nigeria (Published)
Modern African dramaturgy is a re-enactment of native historical, political, economic and socio-cultural variables interfused with elements and modes of the west, which is a clear pointer to its dual heritage. This study, therefore, deploys Stephen Greenbalt’s New Historicism, as it privileges cultural context and history, to explore the struggle for sovereignty and nation building in Ola Rotimi’s Akassa You Mi. The main aim is not only to unravel the power play and concomitant rupturing of relations between the British (represented by the Royal Niger Company) and the natives in the ancient Akassa Kingdom of present-day Bayelsa State of Nigeria but also, perhaps more importantly, to essentialize the enduring virtues of unity of purpose and selfless leadership as a sine qua non for a hitch-free and viable contemporary Nigeria.
Amiri Baraka’s pre-nationalist and nationalist plays such as Dutchman and Experimental Death Unit # 1 largely incorporates scenes of murder and violence. The cadaverous permeates. Baraka’s stage. There is a whole sacrificial system that determines the characters’ ultimate destinies and lives. This mechanism operates not merely to bring death to those who betray the national black liberation cause, but also to castigate those holders of the slave mentality and chastise the assimilationists who hide behind a white mask. This sacrificial mechanism functions as a generator of purification to cleanse the black community from the vestiges of black docility. In the Marxist plays, violence and murder take the form of political assassination. A play such as The Motion of History displays the dynamics of political struggle that conditions the kind of murder or acts of killings. Whereas in the nationalist plays murder is effected for purificatory goals, in the Marxist plays the intersection between political struggle and the official repression of the state determines the shape of physical elimination for political motives. The neutralization of political opponents assumes that murder is simply a means of exclusion from the political arena and restoration of political and social stability. Because agitation is detrimental to social peace and political order, systemic violence takes a bloody dimension and approximates bloodshed. This paper seeks to highlight the prevalence and, in Frantz Fanon’s phrase, the instrumentality of violence as an absolute praxis in Baraka’s dramatic works. Violence marshals then a new equation of asserted subjectivity.
Modern African drama is a re-enactment of native historical, political, economic and socio-cultural variables supported by elements and modes of the west, which is a clear pointer to its dual heritage. This study, therefore, uses Stephen Greenblatt’s New Historicism, as it privileges cultural context and history, to explore the struggle for sovereignty and nation building in Ola Rotimi’s Akassa You Mi. The main aim is not only to unravel the power play and resultant rupturing of relations between the British (represented by the Royal Niger Company) and the natives of ancient Nembe Kingdom of present-day Bayelsa State of Nigeria. Also, more importantly is to present the enduring virtues of unity of purpose and selfless leadership as a sine qua non for a hitch-free and viable contemporary Nigeria.
The purpose of this study is to shed light on esthetic uses of Greek myth, its artistic and realistic uses, and the reasons for the allusions to it in contemporary poetry. Selected poetic texts will be analyzed for the use which some modern poets make of the legend of Sisyphus for expressing their views and for showing how they perceived its artistic value. Among these poets are Al-Sayyāb, Al-Bayātī , Adonis, ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz al-Muqāliḥ, as well as the Palestinians Aḥmad Daḥbūr, Murīd al-Barghūthī and Fārūq Muwāsī, all of whom made use of the legend in order to express both suffering and hope in the crisis of Arabs in current times, in an attempt to bring these across to the reader.

Comments about Lucky Plaid Coat
This coat has a nice weight and the fabric is a nice quality. I'm constantly obsessing over sleeve length and this coat does not disappoint; I'm 5'10" and the sleeves extend past my wrists. The jacket does have a boxy fit on a small to medium frame, which explains the models use of a belt (however, the coat is still very nice without additional accessories). My only real issue with this coat is the buttons. Black buttons would have been more appropriate; the coat comes with brown marbled buttons.

Chef John Greeley is bringing his background with locally grown produce to his new position as executive chef at Crystal Springs Resort. The Ridgewood native was raised on the fresh food of his Italian, Irish and Polish family. He graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design, and has since gained experience with Southern cooking working as sous chef at 45 South. Before joining Crystal Springs, he served as top toque at New York City’s iconic ‘21.’ We checked in with Greeley to learn about his history, his cooking style and his son’s creative cooking.
JERSEY BITES: What is your earliest food memory?
CHEF GREELEY: Spending my allowance on Pop Rocks and Chocodials, and picking fresh peas from our small garden and eating them raw.
When did you realize you wanted to make cooking a career? Was there an “a-ha” moment?
Yes, pretty much when I was cooking on my free time and watching great chefs on TV to learn new recipes—this was in college when I was studying art.
Any interesting stories about where and with whom you started cooking professionally?
Moving down south to Savannah and walking into a kitchen with my skateboard, looking for a job. I knew no one and nothing and the whole place stopped with this hip-hop skateboarding kid all of a sudden in this southern kitchen. It was an incredible time for me, full of adventure, food-wise. Chef Dasher was very patient and allowed me to experiment on specials, and taught me some southern staples.
What is your cooking style?
American Coastal. I really like to use local ingredients and seafood is my first love, with wood-fire cooking a close second.
What is the greatest opportunity that has come from cooking?
Traveling around the world and experiencing ingredients you can only find in certain areas of the world. Peru blew my mind and I really love Africa.
What is the most memorable meal you’ve had? What did you eat and where was it?
My son Hudson made me a protein shake with all different juices, berries and lollipops—absolutely no protein but really creative. Besides that, the dinner I had at Atlas when Paul Liebrandt was there early in his career. Caramel-coated cod with Maine sweet shrimp foam, hay confit chicken leg. Really next-level stuff and he was like 24! Also when Rocco DiSpirito was at Union Pacific, I went there and had all the “little dishes” on the menu. I knew it wouldn’t last long (that part of the menu) so I ordered every single one, with the Taylor Bay scallop with Uni, tomato water and mustard oil as my starter.
It’s your last day on earth. What will your final meal be?
I’ve been reading a few books on the last meals of prisoners and I have a similar idea on my final meal. Homey, simple food, fried chicken, chess pie, butter beans, grilled whole bass with lime, habanero and tomato, and a wood-grilled porterhouse steak!
What is the best advice you have to share with young people interested in becoming chefs?
You will sacrifice a lot so be prepared to deal with a world that operates on a different schedule. Write down all your ideas even if they seem crazy—it’s always good to refer back to old notes.
If you could choose to be any food item, what would it be?
What food is a staple in your home kitchen?
A variety of fresh vegetables to make late night soups, pasta or quick pickled snacks.
What is your beverage of choice?
Water, espresso, Pacifico, Mezcal. In that order.
What is your favorite comfort food?
Chicken noodle soup—it fixes anything.
What New Jersey restaurant do you enjoy dining at, besides your own?
Brasa Grille in Chatham, real charcoal Portuguese cuisine.
If you could have dinner with any three people, living, deceased or fictional, who would they be and why?
Chuck Close, Run, and Alva all because they have influenced me in some way and it would be a really interesting dialogue.
Are you working on any upcoming projects our readers would be interested in learning about?
Skateboards, barrel-aged hot sauces and hand-drawn cookbooks.

Digest of Benefit Entitlement Principles Chapter 8 - Section 12
8.12.0 Other employment during the stoppage of work
The termination of the stoppage of work is not the only factor to consider when deciding whether a disentitlement should be terminated (Digest 8.1.8). Subsection 36(1) of the EIA provides for another, as the following extract shows:
“. . . a claimant who loses an employment, or is unable to resume an employment, because of a work stoppage ... is not entitled to receive benefit until the earlier of
- the end of the work stoppage, and
- the day on which the claimant becomes regularly engaged elsewhere in insurable employment.”
The termination of the disentitlement as provided for in the legislation in these circumstances is related to the occurrence of one of two eventualities. The first being the termination of the stoppage of work, which involves the workers (claimants) and activities at a given workplace. However, the second, which consists of becoming regularly employed elsewhere in insurable employment, is an individual event which involves only the claimant, without any tie to the collective employees or activities.
It is up to the claimant to prove that they became regularly engaged in insurable employment elsewhere, since they lost or could not resume employment, due to a stoppage of work (EI Act 36(1)). Employment or a period of employment that preceded the time when the claimant lost or was unable to resume a previous employment will not provide relief in this context (CUB 64431). What can be accepted, however, is part-time employment that started prior to the work stoppage, and then became full time, or where the claimant’s hours were significantly increased since they lost or were unable to resume employment due to a stoppage of work.
8.12.1 Engaged elsewhere in insurable employment
The insurable employment that the claimant has become engaged in must respect the meaning that it is given in the legislation (EI Act 2(1)), which means that an employer-employee relationship exists. Thus, this would exclude all self-employment (CUB 64431) as well as all other occupations that do not, as such, constitute insurable employment.
Finally, the legislative text specifies that the claimant is regularly engaged in insurable employment elsewhere than the place of employment where the stoppage of work is occurring (EI Act 36(1) and CUB 77469). This would exclude all employment that a claimant may begin at the same premises where the stoppage of work exists.
This would mean that a person who resumes their own job before there is a termination to the stoppage of work, would not meet the requirement to have the disentitlement terminated. That person must await the collective return of the workers involved in the stoppage of work, which would then result in the termination of the stoppage of work (EI Act 36(1)(a)), or they would have to meet the conditions of non-application (EI Act 36(4)).
To be hired with an employer does not necessarily mean a claimant is regularly engaged; the claimant must work in the new occupation and have some form of work schedule. If the employment is only intended for such a short time that it is impossible to determine its continuity, it is not regular employment, but rather casual employment. The application of the legislation has created abundant jurisprudence and interpretations to support this. The authoritative principles are found in several judgments of the Federal Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court (S.C.C. 1669883, FCA A-1198-84, CUB 9488 and FCA A-765-85, CUB 76911A).
Based on these judgments, the determination of whether a claimant was regularly engaged in insurable employment will require that three criteria be met. These are:
- was it firm, serious, genuine employment;
- was there continuity in the employment;
- was there regularity in the claimant's pattern of work?
An employment will be firm, serious, and genuine when, at a given time, the worker has some assurance of a certain number of predetermined work periods. It would not be so where;
- there is no such assurance,
- the proposed number of work periods is vague, imprecise, not defined, or uncertain,
- it is on an as-needed basis only,
- it is unknown whether the employment will continue or in what manner from day to day (CUB 64431).
The fact that the claimant has worked a certain number of periods does not demonstrate after the fact that the employment meets the first criterion, if such an assurance did not exist either at the time of hiring or at some subsequent time during the employment.
There must also have been continuity in the employment. This means that it was pursued uninterrupted, that is, without a lay-off, end of contract or break in the employer-employee relationship, even for a short period which required a re-employment. Continuity will not be shown when the employment had been for an intermittent, sporadic, occasional or on-call basis (CUB 64431 and CUB 55172).
There must be regularity in the pattern of work. Generally, this means that the claimant worked according to a specific pattern, in terms of a schedule, a number of given hours or days, and that this pattern regularly repeated itself during the pursued employment (CUB 64431). What needs to be determined at this stage is what pattern of work over an interval is representative of the claimant's employment.
An interval could vary from case to case. One could conclude that in the majority of cases, an interval of one week, that is, a period of seven days starting on any day, would be representative of an interval of the employment under question. This interval could be longer or shorter. In the case of a person who was engaged to work one week in two, then two weeks would constitute a representative interval.
Once the representative interval is established, what must be examined is the pattern of work during this interval and in what way it was repeated during the period of employment. At the very minimum, one could consider that there was regularity in the pattern of work when, during the claimant's employment, that specific pattern prevailed for at least two successive intervals, which would be for at least two successive intervals of seven days in the majority of cases. It could just as easily be a pattern of part-time work rather than full-time.
The fact that the person had been employed, or even that they had worked, is not sufficient. What is required, is the fulfillment of all three criteria previously mentioned.
If a claimant had intended to resume the previous employment at the end of the stoppage of work, rather than remain employed at the most recent employment, this may be sufficient to show that the claimant was regularly engaged in other employment (CUB 39266). This factor has no bearing on the "regularity" of the employment in question. It is therefore not a question of demanding that the claimant demonstrate disinterest, distance or detachment from the outcome of the labour dispute by severing all connection with the labour dispute employer.

Genk finalizing Philadelphia Union deal for McKenzie
According to Sky Sports, the Belgian side and Philadelphia Union are tying up a deal for the United States international for around €5m.
After several weeks of negotiations, KRC Genk and Philadelphia Union are closing on a deal for Mark McKenzie in the January transfer window. According to Sky Sports News, the Belgian side will pay a fee of €5m for the 21-year-old defender, who will join the club as soon as the deal is finalized.
“The two clubs have been locked in negotiations over the festive period and are now close to agreeing a fee, which could rise to nearly 5 million euros,” tweeted Sky journalist Anthony Joseph.
Mark McKenzie in MLS
The United States international defender has scored two goals and provided one assist in 59 appearances with Philadelphia Union. McKenzie is no stranger to the referee's book, receiving 11 yellow cards in MLS, but he has never been sent off as a professional.
McKenzie has been capped twice by the United States men’s national team. He played 28 minutes against Costa Rica on his debut and then the full 90 minutes against El Salvador in December. The move to KRC Genk could be finalized in the next couple of days.


text: Almost every women suffer from menstrual cramps during their menstrual cycles. This pain radiates from lower back, thighs, cramps in lower abdomen, sometimes followed by nausea and vomiting. Luckily there are some best home remedies for menstrual cramps. Menstrual cramps are caused by increased production of a substance called prostaglandin at the pain sites. This causes the uterine muscles to contract during menstruation. The pain caused by cramps can vary from being mild to severe. While taking frequent pain killers is not safe as they have many side effects. You must try some natural home remedies for menstrual cramps as they are effective and safe.


Height Safety Equipment
Travsafe horizontal lifeline system
The Travsafe horizontal lifeline system allows complete freedom of movement for working at height, ensuring safety whilst traversing horizontally over any given distance. The twin cable system offers three main benefits.
- Less deflection in the event of a fall than a traditional single cable system providing the customer with increased safety.
- Allows the intermediate brackets to be fixed much further apart, which means fewer fixing points and, consequently , less penetration of the roof fabric.
- Smoother running of the traveller as it is permanently in line with the bracket.
Travesafe is very simple to use. The user attaches the connector of their harness lanyard to a traveller, which runs smoothly along the system and around angles and corners.
Travsafe can be installed in most orientations, floor, wall and ceiling mounted at head or a higher level.
Travsafe is virtually unique in that a 10 metre retractable lifeline can be suspended from it for use in some overhead applications giving total flexibility.
Travsafe conforms to BS EN 795 and is designed to meet the requirements of CDM regulations and other safety legislation such as HSG33.

Before the Premier League there was Formula One, a sport peerless in the business of breaking new ground in the pursuit of pound notes. Bernie Ecclestone became one of Britain’s richest men on the back of the bucks pouring in from parts of the world as familiar with racing cars as we are with paddy fields.
As we have seen with the takeover of Newcastle United by a Saudi Arabian investment fund, the relationship with regimes of questionable moral propriety is not without its difficulties. Consider the fate of F1 as it pitches up in the Middle East for the inaugural Qatar Grand Prix this weekend, a race followed by the sport’s own debut in Saudi Arabia a fortnight hence before closing out in Abu Dhabi.
If that were not immersion enough, F1 kicks off 2022 in Bahrain then follows that with a return trip to Saudi Arabia. You better have a narrative ready to roll when you are in deep to that extent with nations under scrutiny from any number of human rights organisations.
F1 president and CEO Stefano Domenicali is versed in the language of diplomatic appeasement. F1 would not be in this territory, he claims, were the hosts unable to meet ethical commitments with regard to the rights and conditions of those involved in the construction and delivery of the necessary racing infrastructure. Moreover this is about raising awareness of those very issues that concern groups like Amnesty International, the rights of immigrant workers, the treatment of women and the persecution of the LGBTQ community. By coming to the region Domenicali argues that F1 is in fact promoting change.
“Such an important change cannot happen overnight. It is a cultural change that will take time. But the timing will be accelerated by the fact big events are there. And Formula One will play an important role in that respect,” he told the BBC in respect of Qatar. “If you look pragmatically at what they are doing, in terms of for example women, they have women in prominent positions in the organisation, they are working and respecting the regulations,” Domenicali said.
“I believe the spotlight we are bringing will be beneficial for the will and the wishes of change that these countries are showing. I don’t believe that shutting countries off and saying we don’t want to be there will help the situation to improve. Actually, it will be the opposite. It doesn’t mean everything is perfect, but for sure what we are doing and what we are signing off is headed in the right direction.”
Domenicali, a former Ferrari staffer and ex-leader of the Scuderia, is not a fool. The catalyst for change argument is well grooved and cannot be separated from an even greater imperative, the need for cash. Without unprecedented millions paid by Qatar and Saudi Arabia in long-term deals, thought to be in access of the $40m annual fees paid by Abu Dhabi and Bahrain, Formula One would not be meddling with the resetting of cultural parameters in the Middle East, especially after a pandemic revenue hole estimated at 43 per cent, or put another way, $877m.
This is pure business, transactions that keep Formula One in the vanguard of global sport and give those investing a soft power spray gun with which to coat the regime in a more favourable hue. Within the new relationship it is incumbent upon individuals to make what gestures they can to point the finger, Lewis Hamilton’s rainbow helmet in support of Qatar’s oppressed LGBTQ community would be an example.
The gesture will have been the source of some tension for the hosts but a pill they will just have to swallow. To challenge it would invite just the kind of negative scrutiny they are paying millions to avoid.

Pickle Me This 2012 Books of the Year
As ever, it’s been a good year for books, and I’m only sorry that not everyone has yet been given the chance to fall in love with all the books that I loved best this year, but these are all books with good long shelf-lives and I know you will be happy to encounter any of these whenever you happen to do so. Just make sure you do.
Here We Are Among the Living by Samantha Bernstein: I loved this memoir-in-emails, this wonderful Toronto book about coming of age in the shadow of 9/11 and the legacy of the Baby Boomers. From my review: It’s a book I emailed my friends about, my friends who were sitting around a booth with me at a College Street diner on the night of September 11 2001, and I told them, “This is our story.”
Mad Hope by Heather Birrell: Heather is my friend, but I have no compunction about including her book on my list with some objectivity because I really had no idea of the depths of her brilliance until until I read it. It’s a beautiful, rich, meticulously-curated short story collection, and it’s turning up on year-end best-of lists all over for good reason. Mad Hope is excellent.
The Book of Marvels by Lorna Crozier: This is the book I kept talking to strangers about on busses, reading them the line about forks: “It’s the only kitchen noun, turned adjective, attached to lightning.” From my review: …one of the few books I’ve ever encountered that dazzles you when its dust jacket falls off: the book is argyle. Its design is splendid, and the contents will not disappoint, guaranteed to appeal to anyone who loves words, and stories, and the thingy-ness of things.
Arcadia by Lauren Groff: Groff is my favourite American writer, with so much more substance than hype about her, and in her second novel Arcadia, she just keeps getting better. From my review: Lauren Groff is a rule-breaker, a boundary-pusher, a genre-blurrer. There’s nobody else quite like like her writing right now, and she writes on the shoulders of those who came before her… She also writes with a deep appreciation and awe for history, for the role of story within history, and for the epic. Her first novel had a larger-than-lifeness about it, which is not so unusual for a book a writer has been working her life for, but it’s less usual for a second novel and for it to be pulled off so successfully too.
The Forrests by Emily Perkins: One of a number of brilliant books this year that we haven’t heard nearly enough about. From my review: The Forrests is like The Stone Diaries, but edgier, and structured as the interior of its subject’s mind rather than her scrapbooks, and it’s enormously successful. Rachel Cusk, Virginia Woolf. Vividly human characters, gorgeous writing. It’s full of surprises, twists, turns and moments of illumination, quiet but profound in its brilliance, and devastating to have to finally put down.
Swimming Studies by Leanne Shapton: Oh, sweet summer time and this gorgeous book I bought one sweltering day on a walk home from the swimming pool. From my review: Swimming Studies is a difficult book to explain, and I’m glad that I get to review it in my blog so that I don’t necessarily have to. That I can simply say that the whole thing just works, for no reason I can really fathom. Leanne Shapton writes about ponds and pools she has known– the Hampstead Heath Ladies Pond, the pool at the Chateau Laurier, the baths in Bath, and so many others. She writes about morning practice: “Ever present is the smell of chlorine, and the drifting of snow in the dark.” A many-page spread displays her extensive bathing suit collection. She includes drawings of her teenage swim teammates, with brief biographies for each: “I’m not crazy about Stacy since noticing that she copied onto her own shoes the piano keys I drew on the inside of my sneakers.”
Malarky by Anakana Schofield: According to everybody that matters, this was one of the best books of the year, and when it comes out in the UK next year, the whole world is going to know it. From my review: If Hagar Shipley met Stella Gibbons, the end result might be Anakana Schofield’s Malarky, but then again, it probably wouldn’t be, because Malarky refuses to be what you think it is. And moreover, it probably wouldn’t be because the book is meant to be chock-a-block with allusions to James Joyce and Thomas Hardy. Don’t tell anybody, but I still haven’t read Ulysses (and hence the Gibbons instead of the primary sources), but I have read Malarky, and it was brilliant, which I know for certain even with the burden of my literary ignorance. And that I can pronounce a book as wonderful even whilst unable to access its higher planes of greatness is certainly saying something for the book itself, which is mostly, “You’ll like it too.”
The Blondes by Emily Schultz: I devoured this book in a weekend, and as soon as I was finished it, I started to read it again. From my review: Hazel’s few friendships and alliances with women are shattered as individuals try to navigate their respective ways to safety… But Hazel ultimately finds herself entirely powerless to her biological destiny and to patriarchal tyranny when the plague and its circumstances make impossible her choice to terminate her unwanted pregnancy. Schultz shows how change creeps in little by little so that to a feminist academic, lack of access to abortion can become almost remarkable. The Blondes is powerful and solid, gripping and scary.
The Juliet Stories by Carrie Snyder: A wonderful book, and the world thought so too because The Juliet Stories was nominated for a Governor General’s Award this year. I called it “one of the best Canadian books you’re going to read this year,” and as the year draws to a close, I’m standing by that declaration.
Afflictions and Departures by Madeline Sonik: The best part of my life is that I got to spend this year coming up with excuses to put this fantastic book’s cover on the main page of 49thShelf. Winner of the City of Victoria Butler Book Prize and shortlisted for the 2012 Charles Taylor Prize for Non-Fiction. From my review: Sonik stitches her personal stories to the fabric of her time. Her narrative voice is blessed with startling omniscience, with the benefit of hindsight, and with an acute awareness of both how the extraordinary can be illuminated by ordinary detail, and also of how the ordinary and extraordinary are so often intricately connected. Sonik’s prose reveals her poet’s skill, as does these essays’ use of imagery and symbolism, but the broadness of her vision and the deftness with which she fits together surprising pieces of reality is evocative of Joan Didion’s masterful non-fiction.
A Large Harmonium by Sue Sorensen: This book came out last year, but I only discovered it in June, and I’ve been recommending it steadily ever since to readers who have not been disappointed. From my review: Winnipeg resident Sorensen has much in common with Carol Shields, who was another, except that her tone is darker and more overtly hilarious. The novel’s pace is brisk and easy, which is not to say “light”, because there is depth here, but the story goes down just as well. Just as Shields did, Sorensen’s got a grasp on joy and how it factors amidst life’s absurdities. This is a wonderful novel with broad appeal. It’s absolutely the funniest and one of the best books I’ve read in ages.

Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that the country needs a "eternal green revolution" to overcome challenges facing agriculture. We want to focus on 'nutritional security' from 'food security'. He called for scientific technology. Modi said that the government is trying to double the farmers' income by 2022. The two books written about the famous agronomist MS Swaminathan have been floated on Friday at his residence. He said that malnutrition has become a problem and needs to increase nutritional value in pulses. To calculate the production capacity of different parts of the country, we need to add traditional methods to scientific practices. He said the farmers should identify areas suitable for different crops like industrial clusters and set up farm councils. It would be easier to sort out the storage and transportation of products.
Modi said seven times the number of crops have been raised on crops in one year after the introduction of the Prime Minister's Fiscal Insurance Scheme. Smaller farmers in the country are 85 per cent and they need more understanding of the science technologies in agriculture. Modi has expressed regret that the country's youth is not inspiring from scientists as it has taken the players, film actors and politicians. Swaminathan, who has worked with a number of Prime Ministers, has been praising Modi for being so modest. 1943 - Bengal famine disaster has never been recovered in the country yet, so there is no time to rest, Swaminathan said. He said that everyone needs to be nourished with nutrition, clean water and clean conditions.

I am sitting here in a room watching my dad going through what is a new experience for me to witness. Congenital heart failure. It is very different than a cancer death and thank god for morphine-based drugs, as it doesn't look like a fun way to go out of this earth. The journey has also exposed many things, a bit like turning over the stones and exposing the raw fears of many people and just how limited and fragile we are as humans.
It has shown me how few people really ever go out of their idea that they can think they can control life? Perhaps that is where I am mistaken in that I think everyone takes themselves beyond their known limits. Maybe a standard limit isn't all that far of a journey from what I see with people stretching themselves?
Last night was fun, but sad evening where dad just rambled on for the previous 10 hours. Usually, there is a thread of a theme with his rambling through the night, but last night, he came to a place where everything out of his mouth made sense to only him and his mind. Even when he was asking for things, it turned out he didn't need to go to the bathroom. Then when he didn't say anything, surprise! My brother is giving me professional nursing tricks to deal with it all.
"so basically you are dealing with a small child and have to cover up quick?"
"exactly. that's is about where dad is right now with his functions."
while all this makes me sad, I have to admit being able to walk out this journey with him has been really amazing with the silver lining moments as well as showing how far off-kilter many people are with their idea of life and the "norm" of it – and what issues come forth when something is different and changes.
Me? I guess I have gone beyond so many limits in life that where I am today is looking back at the world and wanting the simple and useful life – yet – when I see the world, there is so much manure being thrown around, like the BS with numbers, you can say anything.
That bs is like listening to my dad last night as he rambled on with his incoherent thoughts from a brain shutting down from the lack of oxygen. I can give his mind a pass with the nonsense.
I can't do that when people are spewing numbers that are just not real, yet, if people weren't in the business, they would not see the bs.
As for dad, he is suffering. While the drugs have him comfortable, I don't wish this end on anyone. The human body is smarter than I think we want to believe or lead it on to be. There is a lot more going on beneath the surface layer and facades we like to put upon everything.
What can I say, I like depth. I also don't think you will ever create any sustainable long term solutions by treating the symptoms. While the later it is a great way to commodify a solution to the symptoms, you will never actually find a solution to the actual problem. There are a lot of forces in the world that don't really want those solutions, as it would cut into their cash cow milk.
While this process is a slow, tiring, and grinding path for my dad to pass from here with death. It is incredible how much I am learning through it all, while painful, it is good stuff.
I just need to get back with people that share a similar view that life is a perpetual growing experience, not a small box you live inside of.

A hospital charged $1,877 to pierce a 5-year-old’s ears. This is why health care costs so much
Two years ago, Margaret O’Neill brought her 5-year-old daughter to Children’s Hospital Colorado because the band of tissue that connected her tongue to the floor of her mouth was too tight. The condition, literally called being “tongue-tied,” made it hard for the girl to make “th” sounds. It’s a common problem with a simple fix: an…
