ANTONIO VALENCIA believes Manchester United's title pain of 2012 can inspire them to overhaul runaway leaders and neighbours City.
And even though City have a 13-point lead this time, Valencia feels Jose Mourinho's men have the spirit to pull off the greatest title turnaround ever.
Valencia, 32, told United's website: "We lost a title when we were eight points ahead and there were only a few games left.
"Now, we have a lot more games to play and we need to keep fighting. We need to keep going.
"The important thing is to get the three points, playing at home, playing well, and we will carry on with this mentality until the end of the season."
"We have showed that we have the quality and conditions to fight until the end of the season."
City's 2012 glory came despite trailing 2-1 at lowly QPR in stoppage time on the last day - when they needed to win to take the title on goal difference.
MONEY TALKS Manchester United chief Ed Woodward claims strong financial position allowed them to hand ex-Arsenal ace Alexis Sanchez whopping £600,000-a-week wages
Wayne Rooney had clinched United's 1-0 victory at Sunderland that day - leaving them three points clear.
But City strikers Edin Dzeko and Sergio Aguero struck in the most famous climax ever to a Prem season, handing them the crown on goal difference.
That bitter memory for United lives on brightly with Valencia.
But now he thinks United's players can turn it into a positive, to put pressure on Pep Guardiola's Quadruple-seeking City.

Planning applications for new retirement developments have increased by circa 162 per cent* between 2010 and 2015, research from Pinsent Masons has found. However, the firm believes this will not continue at such a high rate unless the Government creates new planning guidance and concentrates efforts on housing for the ageing population.
Currently many local authorities pigeon hole retirement and extra care housing as a C3 planning use – the same as general housing. This brings with it constraints and burdens as regards the planning regime which in many cases are not appropriate given the end occupiers.
Furthermore local authorities do not allocate land specifically for retirement and extra care housing, so there is competition for such land by general needs housing developers as well as specialist retirement providers.
Care Homes sit in a separate planning class, C2 and Pinsent Masons believes that by creating a separate use class for retirement and extra care homes this will encourage more developers into the sector, make promotion of schemes quicker and ensure we hit the national need for such housing provision.
Rebecca Warren, Planning Partner at Pinsent Masons, said: "It would not be difficult for the Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) Order to be amended to include a separate class for retirement and extra care housing yet the impact could be extensive.
"Local Authorities should be required to assess housing need with a separate use class rather than elderly provision become lost in the melee of general housing need figures. The impetus would then be on the Local Authorities to find sites specifically with the elderly in mind and this will help alleviate the competition from the general housing market. Private Rented Sector developers are similarly pushing for their own separate asset class."
Pinsent Masons says that Local Authorities should look to create housing zones with retirement and extra care as the focus depending on the local demographic needs.
Warren added: "Our population is ageing and even Brexit won't change that. If we can get the older generation into the right housing and free up the family housing market this will certainly help with our housing crisis.
"The Government could also look to create incentives for the older population to move, such as reducing or removing stamp duty charges on the buyer of specialist elderly housing to lower the cost of moving. A distinct asset class will readily enable the Government to identify those qualifying properties where this stamp duty incentive could apply which will help risk of duty avoidance."
Real Estate Partner Simon Gardiner commented: "The retirement market has been growing rapidly but compared to the US, Australia or New Zealand we're still way behind in our housing provision for the elderly population. It's important that the Government realises they can help to keep this market worth investing in, as the business case is there for developers and investors, whilst also helping free up the housing marketing and provide homes for ageing population."
*Data was collated from the planning applications made by the UK's leading retirement housing developers, Churchill and McCarthy & Stone.

LEEDS 1-3 ARSENAL
Arsenal walked into the fiery cauldron of Elland Road and forged themselves a resilient 3-1 victory in the 3rd Round of the FA Cup. The Gunners produced a much improved display from their recent travails against Championship opposition to send their travelling away support back to North London very happy & send sections (albeit small ones) of the home support leaving early to derisive chants of, "We can see you sneaking out!"
The nature of the support was a major part of the evening for me. It's said that you can't count yourself as a true fan of your club until you watch them on their travels. Well this was my first away game watching Arsenal and the stereotype of 'Gooners' being on the quiet side was put to rest as they happily took on the mass of Leeds fans in terms of fervour. Elland Road was a cauldron of noise, with the sound of both sets of support banging on the seats, walls and anything they could find to create a febrile atmosphere. The Arsenal fans seemed to relish their role as the underdogs in this singing contest, giving as good as they got. Chants of "You're just a small town in Tottenham" were riposted with "You're not famous any more!" When Theo Walcott warmed up to catcalls of "Cheat", Arsenal fans responded with supportive cheers of "Theo, Theo!"
As for the game, stand-in captain Samir Nasri gave Arsenal an early lead after five minutes, capitalising on good work from an improved Andrey Arshavin & Marouane Chamakh. This was crucial in establishing a foothold for Arsenal, relieving any potential pressure that Leeds would have wanted to apply in the opening exchanges.
But it helped that Simon Grayson made a tactical misstep from the start. Grayson gambled by playing Max Gradel up front alongside Billy Paynter (who played in the absence of the injured Luciano Becchio). However, this left Leeds a man light in midfield and Becchio's industry in attack was badly missed. Also, their most potent attacking threat, Robert Snodgrass was marooned on the right wing with Kieran Gibbs and Arshavin both endeavouring - with much success - in keeping the Leeds dangerman quiet.
What impressed most about Arsenal was not their slick passing and movement, but their industry in regaining possession. Every team has to earn the right to play their football (Barcelona being a perfect example) and Arsenal were willing to work at the coalface to ensure that they could bask in the splendour of the boardroom. And it looked as if Arsenal were going to bask for the rest of the match after a sustained spell of pressure brought a second goal. Bacary Sagna - who had a faultless match - rifling the ball past the impressive Kasper Schmeichel from a tight angle to seemingly end the contest.
But Leeds are nothing if not obstinate opposition, and a questionable refereeing decision reignited the tie. Arshavin looked to have been pulled back by Snodgrass. Referee Mike Dean allowed play to continue and after clearing Snodgrass's cross, the ball found its way to Bradley Johnson. Johnson has been called "micro-brain" by some Leeds fans, but there was nothing witless about his stunning long range effort which found the corner of Wojech Szcsezny's net. 2-1, and it was game on again.
Arsenal controlled the second-half but began to tire and almost conceded an equaliser to substitute David Somma. Shrewdly noticing his team's fatigue, Wenger summoned Cesc Fabregas and Robin Van Persie from the bench, which by anyone's standards are some heavy-duty reinforcements. They provided the requisite alacrity that was fading from the starting XI, with Van Persie nodding home a sumptuous cross from the tireless Nicklas Bendtner to seal a well-earned victory.
With wins in their past two matches, Arsenal look to have got their season back on track. They have a crucial Carling Cup game against Ipswich next Tuesday, but the fact that they made such good work of defeating Leeds in such a daunting atmosphere shows that the desire for success at Arsenal burns strong, which may result in at least one trip down the road to Wembley later this season.
Szcsezny - 6, Sagna - 8, Djourou - 7, Koscielny - 7, Gibbs - 7, Denilson - 6, Song - 7, Bendtner - 6, Nasri - 7 (Clichy - 6), Chamakh - 6 (Fabregas - 7), Arshavin - 6 (Van Persie - 7)

The Bitcoin 2021 conference in Miami is well underway. First day: done. Apparently, sadly, production failed and there were thousands of people in line for hours. They missed the first few talks, but we didn’t. Eventually, they got to experience a wild happening of epic proportions full of Bitcoin-related art and activities, though. We didn’t. In general, the organizers catered to and nurtured the community, the most important part of the whole Bitcoin project.
— SFL Insider (@SFLInsider) June 4, 2021
The Livestream only covered the presentations on the main stage, the Nakamoto Stage. Most of the day, the host was What Bitcoin Did’s Peter McCormack. On YouTube, there were between seven and eight thousand viewers at all times. The chat was inundated with bots pumping their little coins. The music was low-quality techno. All in all, it was a good day for Bitcoin.
Related Reading | Will The Bitcoin Miami Conference Be A Catalyst For Recovery?
As for the content, there were controversial moments, heartfelt moments, funny moments, great quotes, surprising new stars, and much more. It was boring at times, though. And the spammer’s total takeover of the chat made it impossible to connect with other like-minded individuals. In the virtual realm, the community aspect didn’t work. And the worst thing is, a Bitcoin conference is the worst place to sell those nascent altcoins. It was a waste of time and energy, even if a bot did all the spamming.
Anyway, let’s get to the specifics. We’ll cover some of these presentations in detail sooner than later. Down here, though, you’ll find the key ideas from Bitcoin 2021’s main talks for the first day.
Mayor Francis Suarez Bitcoin 2021’s opener
The first-ever mayor born in Miami’s key idea was, “The days of a currency being tethered to a central bank are coming to an end.” Hear hear!
Ron Paul, “We Need Monetary Freedom”
- The ex-presidential candidate wants no legal tender laws, “If you don’t like the Dollar, you ought to have the absolute right to use whatever you want for money.”
- “The Federal Reserve is running out of philosophic steam. They have no idea what they’re doing and that’s leading to this chaos.”
- He thinks that politicians and the Fed are going to continue printing money and are not worried about debt. Deficits don’t matter to them.
- “Creating more money is not creating wealth”
- “The monetary issue is important, but liberty is important too. And we can solve our problems if we have our freedom.”
- He had been talking to Bitcoiners and had this to say, “The people here are much better informed than the people in Washington.”
Nick Szabo, “The History Of Money”
This presentation was tremendous and goes pretty well with the first lesson from the Bitcoinist Book Club. He brought a new idea to our attention that seems terribly important, though.
- “The biggest shortcoming of monetary metals is the cost to validate.“
- “The cost and risks of validating gold caused people to outsource validation in forms such as coins and paper notes.”
- “Trust based validation is the most important improvement Bitcoin is bringing”

Bitcoin 2021’s Fireside: Michael Saylor And Max Keiser
In a short half-hour, these two delivered a lot of value. Keiser played the funny interviewer and interrupted Saylor when he got preachy, and Saylor did most of the talking. All the quotes are by him.
- Saylor’s main thesis was that traditional investments lost all of their attraction and that, in real life, you can never own anything. Until Bitcoin, that is.
- “For the first time in history, we can grant property rights to 7 billion people”
- “I see bitcoin as the most secure, most reliable, most certain thing in the entire economic universe.”
- “The reason bitcoin is going to win is because of its community’s ethos.“
Jack Dorsey, “Banking The Unbanked”
Square and Twitter’s mastermind said what the audience wanted to hear, “All of the other coins, for me, don’t factor in at all.” They’re focused on making Bitcoin the native currency of the Internet. He also confirmed Square’s plans to produce a hardware wallet of some kind. He said that Square got into Bitcoin so that people will be “able to transact with it every day.” Most importantly, he echoes Bitcoinist’ sentiment about energy concerns, “Miners have to make a profit and getting cheap renewable energy maximizes their profit.”
In Bitcoin 2021’s most controversial moment so far, activist Laura Loomer confronted Jack Dorsey for talking about liberty while shutting her Twitter account. Even though she has a point, it wasn’t the time of the place for that discussion. That’s not what the paying audience was there for.
— Disclose.tv ? (@disclosetv) June 4, 2021
A seemingly polite MacCormack calmed her down and got her away from the stage before security intervened:
This angle is probably the best representation of what happened with Laura. https://t.co/R5DPM0ZExK
— Peter McCormack (@PeterMcCormack) June 4, 2021
Dorsey replied to her by highlighting Twitter’s Blue Sky project, “It will have none of the restrictions that you see on Twitter. Inspired entirely by Bitcoin, we want to do the same thing for social media.”

Bitcoin 2021’s Floyd Mayweather Fireside Chat
This was absolutely terrible, why was the champ there? He started slowly, “Everybody in the crypto world is competing with one another”, and suggested that they should work together. Then, he dropped the bomb, “I think another crypto is going to be as big as Bitcoin.” He was booed. With reason. Didn’t he know where he was? Or was he trolling? In any case, he was a fish out of water and completely uninformed.
Senator Cynthia Lummis and Representative Warren Davidson, “Bringing Bitcoin Innovation Home To America”
These politicians brought the thunder. Bitcoinist already covered their presentation in detail.
Ross Ulbricht’s Recording
The day ended with the Dread Pirate Robert’s dispatch from jail. It was emotional. We’ll have to talk about it some other time, but he said, “Bitcoin is the embodiment of freedom.”
Bitcoin 2021’s stats
So far, Bitcoin 2021’s transmission has more than 270 thousand views on YouTube and more than 47 thousand on Periscope/ Twitter.

The LNP leader tripped up during a round of interviews with breakfast television shows this morning.
“If you want a stable majority government … then the best thing to do is to support your LNP, One N, uh, LNP candidate at the election,” he said on Seven.
“The best thing to do is support your local LNP, One-N…” Slip of the tongue from @TimNichollsMP on the eve of the QLD election. #sun7 pic.twitter.com/O8GDKCFt12
— Sunrise (@sunriseon7) November 23, 2017
He later told reporters the stumble was down to the long days on the hustings.
“Look, it’s been a long campaign,” he said from Pumicestone, the first stop on his southeast seat blitz.
“I was simply going to say that you need to vote one for your local LNP candidate as I’ve probably said 500 times during this election campaign.”
Nicholls has been dogged by the possibility of his party having to do a deal with One Nation to form government, but he’s insisted there will be no coalition or cabinet position for the ultra-conservative party.
Instead, he’s been pushing for voters to put the LNP first to ensure majority government, warning that One Nation has irresponsible and inexperienced candidates.
His party will preference One Nation ahead of Labor in a majority of the state’s 93 seats, and he again left the door open to governing with the support of Pauline Hanson’s party.
Nicholls has spent the four-week campaign refusing to say if he’ll accept One Nation’s support to form minority government, and told ABC Radio today: “I’m going to deal with the parliament that the people of Queensland elect.”
“We are about implementing our agenda, and only our agenda,” he said.
“We go into this contest to win, and to win strongly.”
Nicholls said voters could trust his pledge not to sack public servants, despite he and former Premier Campbell Newman axing 14,000 workers when the LNP was last in power.
He said public sector jobs were safe even though the LNP planned to save $1.6 billion over four years through a government efficiency program.
“There’s no forced redundancies, there’s no increase in redundancies,” he said.
“The savings we’re talking about are exactly the same savings Labor is talking about.”
Nicholls said he’d been “very frank” with voters about the mistakes of the Newman government.
“We did make mistakes… mistakes that an LNP government I lead won’t ever make again.”

Column by John Morris
Richard Sherman, Seattle Seahawks cornerback, intercepted Tom Brady, New England Patriots quarterback, and asked Tom Brady later, “You mad, bro?”
This was a highlight when the New England Patriots fell to the Seattle Seahawks 24-23 in 2012, but Brady and the Patriots got their revenge three years later in Super Bowl XLIV.
The Seahawks were on a march for the game-winning drive until the Patriots intercepted Russell Wilson’s pass to clinch the victory and give Brady his fourth championship ring. After taking a knee to run out the clock, Sherman walked up to Brady to shake his hand and after a few seconds, Brady stood up and shook Sherman’s hand as a sign of respect from both players.
They were similar scenarios with two different endings, but each was on two different ends of the spectrum of sportsmanship. One ending showed what people would call a lack of sportsmanship and one showing a great amount.
What constitutes sportsmanship?
By definition, sportsmanship is ethical, appropriate, polite and fair behavior while participating in a game or athletic event.
As fans we enjoy the games and watch a lot of back-and-forth between competitors, and some people take the approach of messing with the opponent’s heads by talking to them all game just to get a response and get them out of their game. But a lot of people respect the guys who just go out and perform without any extra attitude. “Sportsmanship for me is when a guy walks off the court and you really can’t tell whether he won or lost, when he carries himself with pride either way,” Tennis great Jim Courier said.
This goes a long way with a lot of athletes-not everyone likes the guy or girl that has to let the world know every time they win. A well-known saying that a lot of coaches use for sportsmanship is to act like you been there.
For example, Sherman is more known for being the literal talk of the team and will talk his head off just to bring another element to the game. Marshawn Lynch, running back of the Seattle Seahawks, is more of the no-words just-play kind of guy. Even in the media he won’t talk. He just goes out and plays the game.
While Sherman talks a lot, he backs up most of it. Players don’t have the opportunity to banter with Sherman unless they do something spectacular against him, but that does not happen very often.
The classic sign of sportsmanship is teams shaking hands after a game. Every sport has a ritual of shaking hands with the opposing team.
Not everyone shakes hands, but it’s a symbol of class and respect. In a majority of sports, that is the key sign of respect and sportsmanship. In some instances, there might be bad blood between players and teams as a whole, so people don’t always want to shake hands. Sometimes in middle school or high school, – depending on the game – if there’s a little too much bad blood they might cancel the handshakes and part ways to avoid any confrontation.
Every athlete, current or former, knows sportsmanship is one of the first characteristics a player learns about when playing sports. It molds athletes into a better person-not just a competitor. It’s a basis for respect and is carried on even after their playing days are over.

Tetanus is a condition caused by a bacterium, and it is life threatening if it is left untreated. Tetanus starts with mild symptoms, and within a matter of couple of days, it starts paralyzing the entire body causing severe muscle spasms. Most people are given tetanus vaccination and shots to avoid the disease from ever occurring.
Tetanus usually enters the human body through cut wounds, and gets into the blood stream directly. Children are most susceptible to tetanus because their immunity is low and also they hurt themselves often.
Flu shots are given seasonally to children and adults so that they do not get flu which is a seasonal fever. Flu usually lasts for a week, and is not considered dangerous. However, the characteristic of flu is that it worsens the preexisting conditions. It is considered dangerous for people who have conditions like bronchitis and asthma. It can directly lead them to pneumonia.
Flu and tetanus can be prevented by taking shots and vaccinations. However, these shots do have mild to severe side effects on some people. Tetanus shots are known to cause mild hypertension on the first day after taking it. However, this type of side effect actually lacks evidence, and has not been studied in detail. Hypertension is nothing but elevated blood pressure and if it develops suddenly in a person, it actually causes it to continue in a secondary form. This can progress into a dangerous stage if left ignored. So, a person, who is more susceptible to high blood pressure, should monitor it if they have taken tetanus or a flu shot.

Feedback loops can be self-regulating, according to a team of mathematical biologists from the University of North Carolina, who found that most feedback loops take the form of “self-regulating information loops.” According to the article, published in the journal Scientific Reports, these self-regulating feedback loops include either immediate or delayed action.
“The results of our research suggest that feedback loops may function in many contexts (social media, for example), giving them at least the potential to be self-regulating,” said study co-author Javier Quijano, a mathematician at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill.
The study’s co-author, Siobhan Barrera, a postdoctoral researcher at UNC, said the research should not come as a surprise to anyone who relies on social media as a means to communicate with others. “We’ve been seeing increasing evidence, especially over the past decade, of this kind of information — digitally-generated feedback — that changes with response,” Barrera said.
Feedback loops can be dangerous in themselves — typically called contagion, depending on the data, for instance if a stranger “likes” or retweets something you shared, you might see it re-tweeted.
The UNC team conducted two experiments on sharing social media. The first used responses to a survey of 155 Facebook users when they were asked to share a split screen image and then follow a prompt to “friend” the person who had shared it. The second experiment used response to an advertisement with an option to receive a 100 cent Amazon gift card for following a link. In both experiments, people who received a social media prompt were more likely to share the photo or link, and the extra money that would come from following through.
“We need to take an honest-to-God hard look at the way we use and abuse the social media platforms we have,” Barrera said.

Newcomb Pottery was founded in the late nineteenth century at Newcomb College,1 a school for women in New Orleans, to offer women training as designers. Orange Berry Vase, designed by Harriet Joor, is an early example of works produced at the pottery.
Joor graduated in 1895 from Newcomb College and continued on there to work under the direction of brothers William and Ellsworth Woodward 2 in initiating a program for women to study pottery and crafts. She was enrolled as a special art student from 1896 to 1900 and as graduate student from 1900 to 1901.3 In 1900, Joor also attended the influential Dow Summer School, founded by Arthur Wesley Dow4 in Ipswich, Massachusetts. In the same year, she was awarded a bronze medal at the Exposition Universelle in Paris, where she was an American representative in the ceramics section of the exhibition.
Completed after her graduation, Orange Berry Vase exhibits a simplified decorative scheme, which owes a debt to earlier Asian ceramic examples. The design elements are also strikingly similar to those found in Dow’s publication Compositions.5 Newcomb College probably owned this publication, and Joor would have known this material after attending the Dow Summer School. The vase’s base is double marked with Joor’s initials and NC, for Newcomb College.
Joor’s career as an educator is also of note; she held positions at the University of Chicago and Southwestern Louisiana Institute. She wrote several articles on art-related subjects, including “New Orleans, the City of Iron Lace,” on the famous ironwork of New Orleans in 1905. Newcomb Pottery continued as a for-profit endeavor for the college and survived the Depression, yet struggled considerably. Shortly after the death of Ellsworth Woodward in 1939, the profit endeavor ceased, and only the college department of pottery remained. Michael E. Crane

This article was originally published in the 2014 issue of Street Machine’s LSX Tuner magazine
SINCE being launched in 1997, there have been 30 variants made of the Gen III and Gen IV Chevrolet V8, colloquially known as the LS. When it first appeared under the heavily raked bonnet of the all-new fifth-generation Corvette back in ’97, the all-aluminium 5.7-litre V8 was dubbed the Gen III, as it was the third main redesign of the super-popular Chevy small-block.
Sharing almost nothing with its iron-based predecessors, the injected, lightweight and very compact pushrod engine ushered in a new era of refinement to V8 GM cars. Its popularity and use across almost the entire GM network over the past 17 years means there is now a mind-boggling number of variants and revisions.
From the original 345hp (260kW) LS1 found in the C5 Corvette, through to the 638hp (476kW) LS9 (the most powerful engine ever offered by GM in a production car), the breadth of the family is staggering. There are engines for front-, all- and rear-wheel drive; iron and aluminium blocks; cathedral and rectangular ports; many different bore/stroke sizes; dry and wet sump set-ups in a range of front-, mid- and rear-hump layouts; displacement on demand, variable valve timing technology and more.
As with most popular engine layouts in the US, there are countless blocks and cylinder heads available from aftermarket companies. Just cataloguing all of those would be enough to fill a book, so we’ll stick to giving you a rundown of the most popular production LS motors.
THE 3.898in-bore LS1 was all-new for 1997, sharing only conrod bearings with the previous Gen II (LT-series) small-block V8s. Chevrolet invested heavily in this new engine, using it as a platform across its whole V8 range and eventually replacing all other V8 engines in the line-up by 2003.
There were many major changes from the Gen II: 5665cc capacity; all-aluminium construction (iron blocks came later); the old five-bolt pentagonal cylinder head stud pattern replaced with a square four-bolt design; six-bolt mains and flat-top pistons (except for the later LS9 which uses a dished version) for the bottom end; the traditional distributor replaced by coil-on-plug ignition. The firing order also changed to 1-8-7-2-6-5-4-3, which made it the same as other modern V8s. The then all-new C5 Corvette scored a 345hp (257kW) motor straight up, increasing to 350hp (260kW), while the ‘modern’ F-Body Camaros and Trans-Ams offered between 305-325hp (225-242kW).
In Australia, the LS1 replaced the old Iron Lion Holden 304ci V8 in the VT Series II. Originally rated at 295hp (220kW), it grew to 300hp (225kW) in the VX, 308hp (230kW) with the VY and 315hp (235kW) in the VZ, after which it was replaced by the 6.0L Gen IV V8. HSV tweaked their 5.7L LS1-based V8s from the VT II range onwards, hitting a high of 400hp (300kW) with the Callaway-tuned C4B.
The C4B-powered VT2 GTS 300 was the most powerful regular production Holden sold new in Australia back in 2000. The engine was hand-built by famed Chev tuners Callaway Cars in America and exported to HSV.
The LS6 is a high-output version of the LS1 made between 2001 and 2006.
The LS6 is a great engine to put into a budget-build circuit car due to its stronger block, better cam, lighter valvetrain, better oil system and higher compression ratio
When launched in the C5 Z06 it made 385hp (287kW), modified in 2002 to produce 405hp (302kW) for the Cadillac CTS-V. The LS6 has windows cast into the block between cylinders, and features improved main web strength and bay-to-bay breathing; higher flow intake manifold and MAF-sensor; higher lift and longer-duration cam; 10.5:1 compression ratio; sodium-filled valves; and a revised oil system suited to lateral acceleration. LS6 intake manifolds are also used on all 2001-on LS1/6 engines, including the V8 VX series-onwards Commodores.
PICK A WINNER?
Working out if the bargain aluminium LS you’ve found is a Gen III or Gen IV car engine is relatively easy. Firstly, Gen IV motors – by and large – all feature electronic throttle bodies, while Gen III engines use cable-operated throttles.
Don’t stress if you’re looking at a bare long motor, as there are a couple of generational signatures to these engines that are almost impossible
Gen III cam sensors are found at the back of the block, while the Gen IV’s are cast into the front timing cover.
The crank sensor is also different between Gen III and IV, even though it is found in the same position on the block. Gen IIIs run a black sensor and 24-tooth trigger wheel, while the later Gen IV crank sensors are grey and 58-tooth.
There are conversion kits around to let you fit a Gen IV engine to a car that came with a Gen III without rewiring the whole engine bay.
In part two of our LS family tree feature, we’ll look at the Gen IV series small-block.

Perspective: Upperclassmen to Receive Traditional Freshman Dorms Spring 2021
Image Courtesy of Catholic University Housing Services
By Anna Harvey
Following a series of upperclassmen town halls over the last few weeks, students heard of Catholic University’s announcement to bring back upperclassmen to in-person classes and on-campus housing.
With this influx of upperclassmen returning to campus among the expanded room for freshmen during the fall 2020 semester, the question arises of which dorms upperclassmen would be assigned. During the fall semester, the Student Government Association confirmed to freshmen on campus that they would not move from their current housing assignments over the winter break. This announcement would require that upperclassmen move into traditional freshman dorms.
“We’re hoping to accommodate all the students that have requested housing for the spring semester,” said Vice President of Student Affairs Judi Biggs Garbuio during the junior town hall.
Regan, Ryan, Flather, Caldwell, Seton, and Gibbons Halls are among the dorms listed by the administration as potential upperclassmen housing. While several of these dorms are traditional upperclassmen dorms, due to the single-room requirement, the majority of returning upperclassmen would be assigned to a single room in one the original freshman dorms.
Some students lament these housing assignments, expressing that by living in these freshman dorms, they were not given an equal opportunity for apartment-style rooms that they originally signed up for during the previous academic year.
“To be perfectly honest, the idea of living in a freshman dorm is not appealing whatsoever,” said sophomore finance major Maureen Pierce. “My roommate group and I were going to have a suite in Centennial Village before this all started. I understand [that] they can’t evict the freshmen, but after all I’ve been through, if the only option to live on campus is Ryan or Regan and not even be able to room with my best friend, then there is no chance I will be returning for in-person classes.”
During the town halls, President Garvey assured the student body that majors, such as STEM and architecture, whose future career success depends upon in-person classes, will have priority in signing up for Housing, leaving many students wondering on their likelihood of being chosen for on-campus housing.
“I feel grateful that they are working to get us housing, and I’ll take what I can get at this point, but I do feel slighted,” said sophomore psychology major Becky Roberts. “I had to go through so many hoops to get priority housing with my DSS accommodations and it’s very frustrating that I have to redo that whole process. It does give off the idea that CUA cares more about the students with more checks left to give them.”
Some seniors, however, have already arranged living accommodations for the next semester or have accepted the current situation with on-campus housing.
“I’m definitely hoping to come back to D.C. for the spring semester, but I haven’t decided for sure whether I’ll live on- or off-campus yet,” said senior Italian studies major Rebecca Lemon. “…With regard to particular dorms, I’d prefer to be in a traditionally upperclass dorm like Gibbons or Seton, but being assigned to what used to be a freshman dorm wouldn’t be a problem. With all the adjustments that have had to be made because of the coronavirus, I’m just glad that we will most likely get the opportunity to return to campus!”
Senior philosophy major Gillian Richards indicated that while her primary plan of housing next semester would be to live at home, she is also looking at off-campus options.
“I’ll probably end up living off campus,” Richards said. “But I would also consider on campus housing if it’s an option.”
Another confusion within spring housing accommodations also comes from current students on academic leave for the fall semester. Housing Services prioritizes current students and does not allow students who are on academic leave for the semester to submit a survey form for Housing accommodations for the spring semester. These students, among others late to submit a survey form, now attempt to find off-campus housing in the case that the university re-opens in the spring.
Some students, reflecting on the recent announcements for spring freshman and upperclassmen housing, state that this limits their ability to make complete and informed decisions. These students state that these difficult decisions are based on the quality of on-campus housing and the availability of off-campus housing, which is likewise dependent on the degree of certainty for the university’s return to in-person classes.
“My opinion on the potential return to campus is that CUA is sidelining the students’ best interests in favor of maintaining attendance numbers and tuition,” said sophomore biochemistry major Mollie Consuil. “It appears that CUA is making major decisions at the eleventh hour so that students do not have the time to make a fully informed choice and change their college plans if necessary. It also irritates me that freshmen are allowed to stay in upperclassmen dorms and have roommates. I have a freshmen classmate who lives in Opus with several other girls. The returning students probably will not have roommates and will be made to live in freshman dorms. It feels like undue preference is given to freshmen, especially since the upperclassmen spent an entire semester off campus.”
While sophomores, juniors, and seniors look with anticipation to the re-opening of the university, many must now begin sifting through uncertain living accommodations in order to determine what is the best course of action to take for the upcoming semester.

The expansion of vaccine availability and confirmations of their efficacy has dominated recent COVID-19 news, but it’s not all flowers and sunshine. For one, new variants of COVID-19 have been popping up around the world, and they’re presenting new challenges to public health officials.
“Right here in Minnesota, we’re now seeing the other aspect of this B.1.1.7 variant that hasn’t been talked much about, and that is the fact that it infects kids very readily,” said Dr. Michael Osterholm, director of the University of Minnesota’s Center for Infection Disease Research and Policy, said on Meet the Press.
“Anywhere you look where you see this [strain] emerging, you see that kids are playing a huge role in the transmission,” he continued, pointing out that kids in middle and elementary school were not major spreaders of COVID-19 before variants started to emerge.
What does the rise of new variants easily spread by kids mean? Here’s what parents need to know.
It Complicates School Reopening
Thus far, school reopening plans have been premised on students who are at a much lower risk of contracting and spreading COVID-19. The calculus changes completely if those young people are more likely to be vectors for the virus.
Let’s return to Minnesota for a moment. According to the CDC, 1,573 cases of COVID-19 in the state have been caused by the B.1.1.7 variant, third-most in the country. It’s also a huge proportion, about half of the total current cases in the state, which makes Minnesota something of an early example of what a pandemic dominated by these variants might look like.
And it’s not particularly inspiring for parents who have been waiting anxiously for all schools to fully reopen.
“Unlike the previous strains of the virus, we didn’t see children under eighth grade get infected often or they were not frequently very ill. They didn’t transmit to the rest of the community,” Osterholm continued on Meet the Press. “That was why I was one of those people very strongly supporting in-person learning. B.1.1.7 turns that on its head.”
In Minnesota, 752 schools (nearly 30 percent of all the schools in the state) have reported at least one case of COVID-19. Under current plans, the largest districts in the state in Minneapolis and St. Paul are scheduled to reopen to more students this month, and it would be surprising if that number didn’t rise when they do.
It Threatens Youth Sports
Of course, schools aren’t the only place where kids can congregate and potentially spread the more contagious variants of COVID-19.
“We’re finding out that it’s the team sports where kids are getting together, obviously many without masks, that are driving it, rather than in the classroom spread,” Dr. Anthony Fauci said last Tuesday on Good Morning America. “When you go back and take a look and try and track where these clusters of cases are coming from in the school, it’s just that.”
CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky agreed that after-school activities like youth sports were creating clusters of disease spread and linked it directly to the relatively new variants.
“We know that these increases are due, in part, to more highly transmissible variants, which we are very closely monitoring,” she said in a White House COVID-19 Response Team briefing.
It’s not hard to find examples. After a high school wrestling tournament was held in January in Florida, 38 people tested positive for the virus. One adult died.
And in one county in Minnesota, 68 cases of COVID-19 were linked to youth sports. That so many are B.1.1.7 variant cases was part of the rationale behind a call to shut down youth sports for two weeks last month.
It Makes Getting Kids Vaccinated All the More Urgent
Of course, vaccinating kids to protect them against COVID-19 is the best way to protect them and return to something resembling normalcy. On that front, there is good and bad news.
Pfizer and Moderna have both been testing their COVID-19 vaccines on kids as young as 12, and trials began last month in kids aged six months to 11 years. Johnson & Johnson also has plans to extend clinical trials to young children and adolescents. Pfizer just asked for emergency authorization to use the vaccine in kids 12 and up.
The bad news is that we don’t yet know when those vaccines will be approved for use in children — 12 year olds, say, could get vaccinated before the school year starts, but that leaves out a ton of grade-school age kids. More practically, we don’t know when states will make young people eligible to receive them once the vaccines are approved. Until that happens, the rise of COVID-19 variants could complicate American families’ return to something approaching a normal life.

I’m often known for miscalculating my distance, last night getting to Taste of Perth was one of those nights 🙂 I parked at the Perth Convention Centre to be close to Sushia, where I was heading for a girl’s night after Taste of Perth.
It wasn’t until I had parked that I realised Langley Park was a 20 minute walk in my boots rather than the 10 minutes I had miscalculated. Catching a taxi or a bus did cross my mind as I was walking but I figured I’d be faster on foot during peak hour traffic 🙂
So my plan of parking didn’t quite work but it didn’t stop me from eating everything I had planned to at Taste of Perth. Luckily knowing that I’d be rushed and eating dinner again at 8pm, I had printed out Taste of Perth’s menu card at home and highlighted all the food stalls I wanted to visit.
After watching the Best in Taste Awards in the CITROËN VIP Lounge, I had 40 minutes left before dinner to eat the four dishes I had marked on my menu card! No surprises that 2 of my 4 dishes were dessert 🙂 This is what I had in order of what I enjoyed most (note each crown is equivalent to $1):
SILKS Mango Pudding – crème brûlée, lime crumble, coconut sago & compressed mango (8 crowns)
I had heard great reviews about SILKS but also heard that it was very expensive so SILKS hasn’t been on my immediate To Eat List. However, after tasting this mango pudding which I was only expecting to be on par with my mum’s original mango pudding, it’ll be the next place we head for a special occasion. This mango pudding was innovative and tasty – I was more than happy to pay 8 crowns/dollar for this and would have happily had another bowl.
The sago was thick and creamy, the lime crumble complemented the sweetness of the mango and creme brûlée. It was simply perfect!
My friend Mia had SILKS Seafood Fried Rice which she really enjoyed (12 crowns), she too will be adding SILKS to her To Eat List.
Bistro Guillaume’s MASSIVE Salted Caramel Macaron (8 crowns)
After seeing the portion sizes of some of our savoury dishes at Taste of Perth, I was expecting a regular sized macaron at an inflated festival price but boy did Bistro Guillaume surprise us with this mega dessert burger 🙂 it was super tasty too!
Lalla Rookh’s Nonna’s Meatballs – braised pork meatballs, soft polenta, parmigiano (8 crowns)
I had wanted to watch Lalla Rookh’s Eat Drink Perth meatball competition but was working that evening so I was excited to see the meatballs were on the Taste of Perth menu. I was curious to see how it compared to burger boy’s Italian mum’s meatballs. They were good and I’d def go back for more but the mother-in-law’s still holds the recipe to my favourite meatballs 🙂
Co-Op Dining’s Cheddar Perogies – caramelised onion and cheddar dumplings (8 crowns)
Like SILK, Co-Op Dining wasn’t on my immediate To Eat List so it was great to be able to taste a sample of what they have to offer. Although the perogies were nice, they weren’t a dish I’d go for seconds especially for 8 crowns. My dear friend and fellow Perth food blogger Martine of Chomp Chomp absolutely loves Co-Op, her Co-Op Dining review is here.
Before dashing to Sushia for my girl’s night, I watched Karvan Coffee brew their roasted coffee in an AeroPress coffee maker…
I look forward to trying out Karvan Bunum Wo Peaberry Coffee blend in my new Aeropress Coffee thanks to Leaf Bean Machine.
The winners of Taste of Perth’s 2014 Best in Taste Awards are also dishes worth trying…
- 1st: El Publico’s Cuttlefish Toastada
- 2nd: Bib and Tucker’s Charcoal Roasted Fremantle Octopus
- 3rd: Greenhouse’s Black Valley Beef Cheek
Here’s my tips to eating through Taste of Perth in less than 90 minutes:
- Do your homework and decide what you want to eat before you get there. Be a geek like me and mark it out on your menu card so you know where to find everything. This will also ensure you don’t buy too many crowns, the Taste of Perth currency which is not refundable.
- Go with a group of foodie friends who are amazing and happy to help you find your must eats quickly (thanks Mia, Liam, Chomp Chomp & Grace).
- Park close – I lost 30 minutes in eating time, which went to getting to Taste of Perth and back to my car. There’s parking on Riverside Drive, Victoria Ave and Plain Street surrounding Langley Park, some parking on the grass and car parks on Terrace Road.
- Tweet / facebook later! Focus on ordering, eating, a quick snap (if you are into photographing your eats) and REPEAT.
- The cooler weather gave me more energy so I’d recommend going to the night sessions!
It also helped that last night wasn’t too packed so we didn’t queue long for food and the restaurants were super organised. Food took less than 2 minutes from ordering.
If I had more time, I would have loved to have watched the Taste Kitchen food demonstrations, Brookfield Place Table Talks and done Lurpak’s 30 minute Cookery School class. I would have probably left with a bag full of gourmet delights from all the food exhibitors too – I know I would have gone crazy at the FUDGE-A-LICIOUS stall!!
Taste of Perth is a great celebration of Perth and it makes me so proud that our city has such amazing food to offer. It’s great that it is easily accessible for all and although it’s not a cheap food festival to visit, the quality of food was worth it.
Taste of Perth is also a great way to preview what our many great Perth restaurants have to offer and help us decide where to dine next. I am yet to try SILKS and wasn’t sure whether it was worth it but after tasting their mango pudding, I’ve added it to our next special occasion eat list.
Taste of Perth will be at Langley Park 2 – 4 May 2014, tickets can be purchased at the door or online via Ticketek.
Disclaimer: foodie cravings was a guest of Taste of Perth as part of Eat Drink Perth, I received complimentary entry to the festival’s CITROËN VIP Lounge. All Taste of Perth dishes featured on this post were purchased with the exception of Karvan Coffee’s aeropress & coffee which I will sampling this weekend. Refer to my disclosure policy for more details.

Bijapur (Chhattisgarh), May 22 (PTI) Two jawans of the CoBRA battalion of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) were injured in an encounter with Maoists in Naxal-affected Bijapur district of Chhattisgarh. Police officials gave this information on Monday.
According to police officials, two to three Maoists are also likely to be injured in the encounter.
He said the police had received information that Maoists had planted a landmine between Pusnar and Hiroli villages under Gangalur police station limits in the district to harm the security forces.
Police officials said that after the information, a joint team of District Reserve Force (DRG) and Cobra Battalion was sent on patrol from Pusnar camp on Sunday. The jawans of the team were in the forest at around eight o’clock in the night when the Naxalites started firing on the security forces. After this, the security forces also retaliated. Constables Nakul and Mohammad Shahid of Cobra 202 Battalion were injured in the incident.
He told that after firing from both the sides for some time, the Naxalites fled from there.
Police officials said that the jawans were injured in hands and legs. He has been admitted to the district hospital in Bijapur for treatment. The condition of both the injured jawans is normal and out of danger.
He told that during the encounter at least three Naxalites were also seen getting shot, which were taken away by their accomplices. The search operation is going on in the area.

How Container Mobility & Workload Mobility Unlock Hybrid Cloud
Porting a legacy application to a new cloud or virtualization platform is notoriously risky, expensive, and challenging. These older applications carry a lot of technical baggage and typically require a great deal of reconfiguration in order for the “lift and shift” approach to work, adding considerable time and expense to migration projects. Fortunately, the advent of containerization and container cluster managers, like Google’s Kubernetes, are poised to deliver an unprecedented level of workload and container mobility that could change the way we migrate applications forever.
Workload Mobility = Cloud Migration
The infrastructure landscape is ever-diversifying, with new technologies and vendors emerging on what seems like a daily basis. Increasing levels of abstraction have allowed for unprecedented efficiency and flexibility. More companies than ever are leveraging a multi-cloud or hybrid environment. What a time to be alive.
Despite all these (rapidly occurring) advancements, there isn’t a great way to move legacy applications to these new platforms. With a “lift and shift” approach, you’re likely to end up replicating your hypervisor in a cloud environment, which of course defeats the purpose of value-add features like infinite scalability.
And while the idea of a quick fix to ‘port’ the applications sounds alluring, the reality is that mature IT workloads are very complex. The more data contained in your application workloads, the greater the chance that a number of services are using or being used by it. Without capturing and translating this configuration data as well, you’re better off manually migrating the applications.
- Mature IT workloads and environments are complex, lots of interdependencies
- Shift in mindset from one-time migration to recurring/ongoing
- Restores power to the end users from the vendors; can switch vendors when ever you want and reduces the vendor lock-in of your org
- Creates the ability to move resources around to best balance price and performance
The Portability of Containers
The rapid growth and widespread adoption of containers is no surprise given the benefits and advantage they deliver to business applications. Containers provide lightweight platform abstraction at a high level without resorting to virtualization. This enables the localization of applications within containers and makes it possible to port applications between public and private cloud providers that support the container standard.
Containers are also more efficient at creating workload bundles that are portable from cloud to cloud. As such, they provide a stable foundation for moving workloads around multi-clouds and hybrid cloud infrastructures without having to do major rewrites of an application’s codebase.
It takes knowledge, skills and enabling technology to successfully execute cloud-to-cloud migration using containers, but such an approach makes portability between clouds relatively easy and simple.
Essentially, containers break up applications into smaller code packages, each containing the basic operating system (OS) that it needs to run independent of the environment where it is hosted. Container orchestration software (like Kubernetes) provide the programming layer that enables containers to knit themselves together to form enterprise solutions.
With containers, programmers do not need to rewrite their application code to run on new cloud platforms and operating systems. They can code applications just once, as containerization imbues them with the ability to run virtually anywhere.
Because the migration of containers between cloud platforms or providers can be achieved by downloading them onto the new servers, containers allow for easy scaling of applications as well as seamless cloud portability.
Container Security Risks
Containers come with security-related limitations that organizations should investigate before building applications that leverage their capabilities. Containers in the cloud are less secure and do not have the same security boundaries as VMs.
Hackers can exploit weak points and vulnerabilities in the underlying OS to gain access to the container, and can also exploit the containers to access to underlying servers. Fortunately, there is a way to limit the impact of such attacks on the enterprise.
Protect Container Data
Just like other data sources, containers need to be protected. Organizations that increasingly rely on containerization technology for critical IT functions must put in place appropriate safeguards to minimize downtime and disruptions to business operations and ensure business continuity.
Containers are instances of short-lived microservices or applications and can be scaled to meet application loads. In the event of a failure, the container can be restarted and reconfigured from code. This means there is no need to back up containers themselves.
Ideally, containers should be shut down once they are longer in use. Most developers continue to launch container-base applications and forget to go back and scale down the number of containers in operation. This locks down cloud-based resources and can cost organizations a lot more for resources that deliver no benefit.
While containers were originally intended to be short-lived, the reality of enterprise data management meant that application data should extend beyond the lifetime of any single container. Data persistence was added to container infrastructures, creating the need for backup mechanisms to protect container data.
Recent implementations of container technology store application data on the same host as the container, usually in the folder associated with the container. If the container is lost, the application data is lost as well.

Luis Herrera Bio – Luis Herrera Wiki
Los Angeles police officers responding to a family dispute fatally shot a man holding a rifle Saturday in the Vermont Knolls area of South LA.
Luis Herrera was 19 years old.
DETAIL OF INCIDENCE:
Los Angeles police officers on Saturday shot and killed a man who was seen brandishing what was later determined to be a realistic-looking airsoft rifle.
Two officers responded to a home at Grand Avenue and 102nd Street around 1:20 p.m. following a domestic violence call, police said. The area was about nine miles south of Downtown Los Angeles.
The man, later identified as 19-year-old Luis Herrera, came out of the residence carrying a type of rifle, according to police.
At least one officer opened fire, striking the man, who died at the scene, police said. Investigators later determined the man was holding a realistic-looking airsoft rifle without the usual safety orange barrel for fake guns.
Officials didn’t release details on the man’s confrontation with police or say whether both officers opened fire.
No officers were hurt. The shooting is under investigation.

When I seen this challenge over at the Just Magnolia Monthly Challenge blog I had to try it out! I have been wanting to do this for awhile so this was the perfect chance.
Plus, the prize is $50 to spend at Simon Says Stamp!!! WOW that is some prize! I just hope it is ok to mix with other challenges!! (lol) First I went with the summer theme for the Roses on Paper challenge of "Summer and Vacation". Then for the front of the card I have used the gorgeous sketch from Double Dutch. I have used rub-ons for the swirls and the sentiment is from Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps.
On the inside of the card on the left side I have used buttons for the challenge at Just Magnolia. The sentiment stamp is Magnolia and the strawberry is from Whiff of Joy's summer kit.I just adore this image!! Love her cap and her big flower! I left it white to resemble a strawberry flower. I highlighted it with my gel pen to make some contrast.
When I seen this last image I just pictured my kids laying in the grass so I put her with some Poppies. For the top part I wanted to use the big strawberry to go with the sentiment (again SNSS) so I stamped in it gray so it would be lighter and then stamped the sentiment in black. I left a little space under for my girls to write a small message.
When my niece was here visiting all she wanted to do was stamp out images and color so I made this for her. I told her I would stamp a bunch for her to take home but we all forgot until she was leaving. The back part of the card is the top part of the bag(that opens) so I made a little bag with a topper and filled it with images to send on to her. Well I just hope after all this work she likes it!! (LOL)
Paper: My Mind's Eye
Inks: Distress Inks, twinkling H20's
Accessories: Buttoons, twine ~ stash, pearls ~ Melissa Frances, Lace ~ JoAnn's
Sorry for the long post but so many pictures to show. Thanks for staying with me if you got this far!!
I hope everyone has a beautiful Monday!! Rachel is recovered so we are free to be crazy and run around like lunatics again!! So who knows what is in store for this week! (LOL)

Washington's Wife Knocked Down Cheering On Footballer Son
DENZEL WASHINGTON's wife was literally knocked off her feet during one of her son's recent American football games - after getting in the way of another player as she celebrated her boy's first touchdown of the season.
John David Washington is a running back for the Sacramento Mountain Lions and his parents recently flew out to California from New York to catch him in action.
But his mum Pauletta became too caught up in the action and ran down from the stands to the sidelines as the 26 year old scored a touchdown during the game - unwittingly standing in the path of a charging teammate.
Pauletta was left lying faced down on the field after the clash, but she managed to leap back to her feet to continue celebrating her son's achievement.
Showing off video footage of the incident to U.S. TV viewers during an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman on Tuesday (09Nov10), the Training Day star laughed off the mishap and assured the audience his wife was just fine.
Explaining the run down, Washington said, "You'll see his mum get clobbered, in the lower corner, watch, boom! A woman gets hit down there... He scores a touchdown but his mother ran down the field with him. His mother, she doesn't see (player number) 53 coming, boom!
"(But) she jumped up faster than the guy did. She loves her son so much, she didn't see the guy coming, all she could see was her baby! ...And she's fine. She bounced right up. I said you should have stood over him and taunted him, 'You little punk!'"

On November 7, 2023, Ohio voters passed An Act to Control and Regulate Adult Use of Cannabis (the Act), making Ohio the 24th state to legalize recreational adult use of marijuana. While Ohio and its Department of Commerce is far from retail sale or distribution of marijuana, the Act makes it legal for individuals over the age of 21 in the state to possess, use, and grow their own marijuana starting December 7, 2023.
Employer Rights Under the Act
The Act aligns with Ohio’s existing medical marijuana policies, highlighting employers’ ability to maintain drug-free workplaces. Ohio employers retain the authority to establish and enforce comprehensive measures such as drug testing, drug-free workplace policies, and zero-tolerance drug policies. The law explicitly states that employers are not obliged to accommodate or permit employees’ marijuana use, possession, or distribution if it contradicts workplace policies. Employers can take disciplinary actions, including termination, based on an individual’s violation of these policies.
Termination and Legal Implications
If an employer terminates an employee due to marijuana use contrary to company policies, Ohio law deems the termination lawful. According to unemployment compensation laws, the discharge is considered “just cause.” Importantly, the Act does not provide employees or applicants with grounds for legal action against such employer decisions, even if the marijuana use is legal and off-duty.
What Should Employers Consider Next?
While the Act does not alter legal requirements for employers, it necessitates careful consideration. Employers are advised to:
Review Current Policies:
Employers should review their current policies to ensure they reflect the expectations of the business, and still serves the business needs of the employer.
Clearly Communicate Policies:
Clearly communicate any policy to employees, particularly highlighting any changes, and ensure employees understand the implications and expectations.
On the Clock vs. Off the Clock:
For businesses who allow personal use of marijuana, employers should still consider possible implications and create policies accordingly. This may include concerns of workplace use or impairment, possession of marijuana at work, and more.
Employers should ensure uniform enforcement, including not differentiating between personal and medical use by employees, particularly for zero-tolerance policies.
Issues to Consider
When deciding on the appropriate policy for your business, it’s crucial to consider potential consequences. For instance, a significant concern is employee impairment during work hours. While employers can and should train managers to identify signs of marijuana impairment, that may not be sufficient to confirm impairment.
The challenge of testing for “current impairment” predates the legalization of marijuana. Due to marijuana’s fat-solubility, traces of the drug can be stored in fatty cells, making it detectable long after initial impairment. Additionally, while tests exist to measure marijuana concentration levels in the system, recreational users will consistently show higher levels as the concentration builds up.
Given the lack of definitive testing methods, employers may only reliably test and confirm whether marijuana has been consumed. This limitation makes testing practical in environments with a zero-tolerance policies.
While employers do not have to worry about firing an employee for violating workplace policies, it is not a ban on other legal claims. This includes discriminatory claims, such as disparate treatment.
Disparate treatment occurs when employees are treated differently based on protected characteristics, such as race, ethnicity, or disability. If enforcement is not uniformly applied or if certain groups of employees are disproportionately affected, it may result in allegations of discrimination. For example, if any marijuana policy, regardless of its content, is enforced more rigorously against a specific demographic, such as individuals from certain racial or socioeconomic backgrounds, without a valid and justifiable reason, it could be construed as discriminatory. This is why it is imperative to also assess the business needs before creating a policy.
What to Include in your Policy
An employer’s marijuana use policy should be comprehensive and clear, providing guidance to employees regarding the company’s stance on marijuana use while promoting a safe and productive work environment. Here are a few elements to consider in your policy:
- Statement of Intent: clearly articulate the company’s position on marijuana use in the workplace.
- Scope of Applicability: when and where the policy applies, as well as whether the policy applies to all employees, including remote workers and contractors.
- Impairment – clearly outline the way testing will be conducted, and signs of impairment that may be observable signs of impairment.
- Consequences for Violations: Clearly state the consequences for violating the marijuana use policy.
In light of Ohio’s legalization of recreational marijuana, employers must proactively assess and adapt their policies to maintain compliance with the evolving legal landscape.
