Grilling a chicken is not a tedious task, and it is very delicious and so satisfying. Besides, I enjoy the aroma oozing out from the oven on opening the oven door and pulling out the grilled chicken.
Also preparing the rice dish is very easy and it is also optional to use a left over rice. See my rice recipe here.
For this recipe you grill the chicken and garnish it with onions, sweet green pepper, fresh tomatoes and cucumber.
I enjoy grilling, I can grill virtually anything and it is always delicious. I grill vegetables, burgers, beef steak, bread, fish, turkey and name it!
Besides, the smell from grilled food is usually very unique and appetising.
Homemade grilled chicken has become one of my favourite Sunday lunch. All I have to do is season the chicken and slide it into the oven. Then I wash and cut my veggies and prepare a quick rice dish or use leftover rice. I've realised that this is a perfect way of using up my rice dish.
Wash chicken, add pepper, chives, garlic, ginger, pepper, honey, stock cube, pepper corn, dark soy sauce and cinnamon.
Then mix very thoroughly, afterwards cover with a cling film and allow to stand for at least 10 mins.
Then grill on a high heat until golden brown.
Bring out from grill then serve with rice dish and vegetables of choice.

Local Scouts among nation's first to earn new merit badge
By Sandy Meindersma CORRESPONDENT
Apr 14, 2012 at 12:01 AM Apr 16, 2012 at 9:06 AM
The Boy Scouts of America is known for training leadership, and nine Scouts from the Mohegan Council and two from the Nashua Valley Council recently became leaders within Scouting, as they were among the nation's first Scouts to earn the new Welding Merit Badge.
Venture Crew member Christina Fallavollita also earned the merit badge, one of the first girls nationwide to earn the badge.
"We are very proud of the Scouts who are among the first in the country to earn the welding badge," Mohegan Council District Director Matthew Conlon said. "We look forward to seeing more Scouts from the council achieve their Welding Merit Badge in the future."
The badge is one of four new badges being added this year to a program that contains more than 130 different options.
Janice Downing, senior innovation manager at Scouts headquarters in Irving, Texas, said that a new merit badge must be approved by 75 percent of the Scouts who are surveyed and two adult committees before it can be launched.
"We've been pleasantly surprised by all the interest the welding badge has generated," Ms. Downing said. "We had several troops that wanted to do it at 12:01 a.m. on the day it was released."
The American Welding Society co-sponsored the badge with the Boy Scouts after it identified a need of more than 100,000 welders in America.
Merit badges are required for advancement in the Boy Scout ranks, with 21 needed to achieve the rank of Eagle Scout. Many Scouts discover a career or lifelong hobby through the badge program.
Larry Salate, assistant scoutmaster for Troop 151 in West Boylston, learned about the new merit badge when he was reading a trade journal for the American Welding Society announcing the new badge.
Mr. Salate then contacted Neil Mansfield, metal fabrication teacher at Assabet Valley Regional Technical High School in Marlboro, who agreed to conduct a workshop for the Scouts during February vacation.
"Scouting really inspired me to better myself," said Mr. Mansfield, a former Scout himself. "I like being able to give back."
With the help of 10 student volunteers, the boys learned about MIG, TIG and gas welding, and got to try their hands at each of them.
"My student volunteers were terrific — all the credit goes to them," Mr. Mansfield said. "It was teens teaching other teens about metalworking and welding."
"It was a lot of fun," Boy Scout Patrick McKeon said. "MIG welding is a type of welding with a welding gun and wire, and you move the wire in close proximity to the gun, and it starts an electrical arc that heats the wire, which allows you to weld."
Mohegan Council Scouts that earned the merit badge in addition to Patrick are Matt Barakian, David Dorman, Nolan Gauthier, Andy Meindersma, Ed Salate, Joel Sylvester, Chris Gannon and Justin Mahan. Ben Pierce and Ed Eubank represented the first Scouts in the Nashua Valley Council.

Limit your number of passengers.
The more activity inside your vehicle, the more distracted you'll be. Ask your travel companions to keep the noise to a minimum and enlist their help with working the navigation system, choosing a radio station, checking on traffic, etc.
Turn off your phone or activate the "Do Not Disturb" function.
Never use your cell phone while driving. If you have an emergency situation, safely pull off the road before making a call or sending a text. Talking while using a hands-free device can still cause you to miss important signals, which can lead to an accident.
Eating fast food during a road trip or finishing your breakfast on the way to work may seem like smart ways to save time, but eating while driving is a major distraction. Listening to your children argue over who has more French fries or spilling your beverage are surefire ways to divert your attention from the road. Enforcing a no-eating policy in your car will make meals more enjoyable while keeping your car free from crumbs and spills.
According to the National Sleep Foundation, sleepiness and drinking alcohol have similar effects on your body, which can cause dangerous consequences. Sleep deprivation, untreated sleep disorders, certain medications, doing shiftwork and consuming alcohol can all cause drowsy driving. If you find you have heavy eyelids, constant yawning, trouble focusing, drifting off the road or memory lapses while driving, pull over if you can safely take a 20-minute nap, buy a cup of coffee or order a rideshare to help you Get Home Safe®.
Because teen drivers have less experience behind the wheel, they have the highest accident and fatality rates of any age group. If you're the parent of a teen driver, keep them informed of the consequences of distracted driving and enforce a strict zero-tolerance policy. Set a good example when you drive and spend time practicing driving with them. For more tips for teen drivers, click here.
Remember that safe driving requires your full attention on the road 100% of the time. Stay focused and keep your loved ones safe by spreading the word to help stop distracted driving.

Trinity's crazy football finish brings fame to Clements grad
Clements grad Curry becomes an instant celebrity
Trinity football player scored winning TD on 15-lateral play
BRANDON C. WILLIAMS, Copyright 2007 Houston Chronicle
Published 5:30 am CDT, Monday, October 29, 2007
Trinity coach Steve Mohr leads a meeting on Monday. "It was comical,'' he said about the winning TD.

Riley Curry found an opening and, with it, instant celebrity status.
The former Fort Bend Clements wide receiver completed one of the most jaw-dropping plays in sports history on Saturday, giving Trinity University a miraculous 28-24 win over Millsaps College. It was Riley who scored the game-winning touchdown, covering the final 34 yards on a 61-yard, 15-lateral play that has become the talk of college football.
"All I remember is that I was exhausted, but when I saw the opening (at around the 15-yard line), I was in disbelief," said Curry, who touched the ball four times during the 60 seconds it took to complete the play. "As I got into the end zone, I remember looking up and seeing the official raise his hands up. I looked up, and the first thing I looked for was a (penalty) flag. By then, I had about 15 teammates on top of me celebrating."
The play was penalty-free, and with the touchdown, Curry has experienced a whirlwind of interviews and phone calls from media, fans and old classmates. One of the biggest surprises for Curry came Monday morning, when he turned on ESPN2's First Take to see Skip Bayless and Patrick McEnroe debating whether his touchdown was better than 1982's famous TD by California, which, with the help of five laterals, returned a squibbed kickoff 55 yards to beat Stanford on a game-ending play.
Riley, who received four of the laterals on Trinity's play, is no stranger to last-second heroics. He scored a game-winning touchdown on a Hail Mary pass to help Clements defeat Fort Bend Austin on his final high school play in 2004.
"He made everything work every time he touched the ball," said Tigers coach Steve Mohr, whose team plays in NCAA Division III. "He found the opening and had the presence to take off and find the end zone."
Trailing 24-22 at the Millsaps 39-yard line with 2 seconds left, the Tigers broke the huddle knowing they had to score to win. But they had no idea the road to the goal line would be paved into history.
"We didn't plan it (like it happened)," Mohr said. "It was a spur-of-the-moment thing that we felt represented our best chance to win. There were a couple of opportunities where I thought the play would be stopped, but the kids made great decisions to keep the play alive."
Overshadowed was the fact the play helped the Tigers, who are 7-1 overall and ranked 14th nationally by D3football.com, gain a share of the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference lead at 5-1, tying them with Millsaps.
"If we don't win our last two games, it doesn't matter in the overall scale of things," said Riley, who leads Trinity with 48 receptions for 684 yards and six touchdowns. "All it will mean is that what we did Saturday was just a fun play."

The RII assessed ministerial-level reforms at 17 ministries, up from 12 in 2015. The process saw RII staff undertake desk research and consult with ministries' technical staff, before passing their findings to the advisory group (AG) members. The AG members – experts in the administrative, economic and social sectors – then reviewed and selected the top reforms.
The Asia Foundation established the RII in 2015 to improve public understanding of those reforms considered most likely to improve public services in Cambodia. A list of reforms collected by the RII can be found at www.reforminventory.wikispaces.com.

As you can see from yet another leaked email below which was sent to all councillors by Wirral Council CEO Eric 'Feeble' Robinson 5pm yesterday about the Local Plan we can see a repeated attempt at damage limitation in action. To which we can only use an expression using the words – stable door, horse and bolted. No doubt 'bolted' was something which Stressed Eric did after he'd sent the email in the hope that the Local Plan debacle will all blow over on his say so. No chance. If the deluge of leaks emanating from Wirral Council are anything to go by Wirral Council's CEO clearly has no authority over the out of control local authority which pays him circa £200K to live up to our initial assessment of him – feeble.
Further insight from Defend Wirral's Green Spaces into the 'Local Plan' electioneering plot which seems to have spectacularly backfired on the ruling Wirral Council administration. There are further extracts from the leaked documents at the centre of the controversy / conspiracy and which contain some useful annotations from the campaign group and handily sum up the issues which are in dispute.
A "demonstration of media manipulation, blatant electioneering and political dissemblance" – What is ACTUALLY in the "leaked" document which is supposed to show that Green Belt sites are "safe"?
You may have seen recent reports in the Liverpool Echo that "leaked" documents show that 20 Wirral Green Belt sites will be "saved" from developers.
We have now been passed a copy of that "leaked" report and, unfortunately, it DOES NOT show that ANY Green Belt sites are safe.
We understand that on 12th November 2018 there was a meeting between Wirral Council's (Labour) Cabinet and the Senior Leadership Team (SLT). This was a technical briefing by Council Officers about the Local Plan to explain how sites in the Green Belt Review would be ranked against criteria set out in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).
However, at that meeting, the Cabinet Members indicated their "POLITICAL PREFERENCES" for the Green belt sites that they wished to save (rejected) and those that they preferred to be developed (accepted).
One week later, on the 19th November 2018, the Cabinet and the SLT met again and a "Local Plan Progress Update" document was presented which listed the Cabinet's agreed POLITICAL preferences. This is the document that was leaked to the press.
The Cabinet Members should have known that POLITICAL preferences CAN NOT decide which sites can be released for development and which can be "saved". Sites can only be released for development following a thorough TECHNICAL ASESSMENT in accordance with Green Belt Criteria and Guidance set out in the National Planning Policy Framework. Sites can ONLY be released after due process when the public consultation process has been completed and they have been included in the adopted Local Plan.
Wirral's Local Plan is not due to be formally adopted until the end of 2020. The public consultation process is still on-going. The deadline for the consultation on the "Sustainability Appraisal and Equalities Impact Assessment" is Wednesday 8 May 2019.
For the Government Local Plan Inspector to accept that the Local Plan is "sound", it must be "positively prepared, justified, effective and consistent with national policy in accordance with section 20 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 and the NPPF. Sites chosen by "Political Preference" would NOT stand up to scrutiny by the Local Plan Inspector and a Local Plan prepared on this basis would be found to be "un-sound".
Therefore the "leaked" document CAN NOT and DOES NOT show which sites have been "saved" from Developers.
The Echo then amended their article.
Furthermore, Labour Councillor and Cabinet Member Phillip Brightmore is distributing leaflets in his Pensby and Thingwall Ward where he is standing for re-election in the Wirral's most marginal seat. His leaflet refers to the "leaked" document and he infers that sites have been "rejected" because of his campaigning.
Not only are the sites that he refers to POLITICAL PREFERENCES ONLY ( which cannot influence the Local Plan ) but Councillor Brightmore is simply incorrect when he states that the "leaked" document reveals that all the "all the Green belt sites in Pensby, Thingwall, Irby, Heswall and Greasby were recommended for rejection".
Indeed, the leaked document shows that some sites in Greasby / Franky and Irby Ward, Heswall and Pensby and Thingwall Ward HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN ACCEPTED by the Cabinet as preferred sites to be released for development.
One of the largest sites to be "Accepted" for development by the Cabinet (of which Councillor Brightmore is a member") is the site East of Pensby which is in his own ward. The site termed "East of Pensby" is suitable for 1705 houses.
We can reveal that the following sites were listed in the "leaked" document as the Labour Cabinet's POLITICAL PREFERENCE for sites to be ACCEPTED for release to developers for house building.
We must reiterate that these sites are the POLITICAL PREFERENCES ONLY of the Labour Cabinet and may not bear any resemblance to the sites which may or may not be released when the Local Plan is adopted following due process, consultation and technical assessment.
However, THE LEAKED DOCUMENT MAKES A MOCKERY OF LABOURS CLAIM TO WANT A "BROWNFIELD FIRST" POLICY. THE LEAKED DOCUMENT SHOWS THAT WIRRAL'S LABOUR CABINET HAVE AGREED A PREFERENCE TO BUILD MORE THAN 6000 HOUSES ON THE GREEN BELT.
Interestingly, many of the sites which the "leak" showed had supposedly been saved were in the areas around some of the most marginal wards, where the current Councillors are in danger of losing their seats.
The "Wirralleaks" website has described the leak as a "demonstration of media manipulation, blatant electioneering and political dissemblance".
This "fake news" was leaked by someone, just a few weeks before the local elections – you can make your own judgement as to who you think may have made the "leak" and why!
We had one of our wanting to bang our head against the wall moments when we've been reading, one year on from our Spot the Blott and Blott's Pension Pot stories, that mainstream media are suddenly outraged that last year former Wirral Council Super Director turned Managing Director of Delivery Joe Blott bagged a cool half a million plus of Wirral council taxpayers money.
Of course we know that what lies behind the payment IS A CRIME and we'd've thought an ambitious young journalist or local government basher the Daily Mail would want to investigate the matter further. Curiously neither want to question how a complete nonentity like Blott wheedles and schemes himself into a position where Wirral Council have no choice but to hand over massive wedges of public money.
Apparently the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG) will be providing a grant for the princely sum of £38,594 to pay for 'a floating 'event platform' to create 'Animate Marine Lake New Brighton'. So, basically a giant float. Which we're sure we all agree that when it comes to planning and regeneration is a drop in the River Mersey.
Meanwhile on a macro planning level there was a further announcement today from MHCLG about Wirral Council today which whilst far more significant in the scheme of things found itself being announced in the rather more obscure Planning Resource website which can only be accessed via a pay wall.
Here we discovered that 'ten local authorities have fallen below the government's 'special measures' threshold for the proportion of application decisions made within the statutory timescales, according to the latest figures from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG)'.
Which again we're sure we can all agree that this doesn't augur well for the ambitious developments we keep reading about the Local Plan ,Wirral Growth Company, and Wirral Waters (One), especially when it comes to these plans being realised any time soon.
But never mind there'll always be plenty more artist's impressions in the local press and a 'floating event platform' to keep the Wirral Council's regeneration plans afloat in the public imagination.
That's a curious description on his Linked In page as Sherlock was responsible for 'Asset Management' and 'Procurement' at Wirral Council during which time he got to know a lot of contractors who were used by Wirral Council. Now that he is the lucky recipient of a nice early retirement package it would appear that there could be a lucrative hook up for Sherlock in his new role as,yes, you guessed it, a 'consultant'. So, by the looks of it his Linked In page will need updating as his 'retirement' will be very brief.
Could this be the same Mac Roofing that Sherlock gave this glowing reference which can be found on their website? I think we should be told!
These two are both contractors to the council, both wishing to improve their stake in the share of the cash cow council . Metro provide our cleaning services and would be nice if we could squeeze others out to accommodate the new consultant . If the council had any balls they would call in a conflict if interest and monitor the situation as X is not without his friends within and they strategically placed to give the contracts out… and will.
Make no mistake people are aware of your post but never openly discussed , I and thousands more hate the back hand dealings where corporate governance is non-existent and employees can invoice with phoney tax numbers and what makes it worse , we are all cowards and sit back and watch and in some cases officials knowing the truth don't highlight it. Doing the right thing is not doing the right thing in Wirral Council.
This is a big week at Wirral Council. So many comings and goings we can hardly keep up. Unfortunately some high profile departures will mean that some Wirral Council senior managers will be leaving before we get the chance to publish what we believe to be the real reasons behind some of the sudden departures.
Now just after 9 months in post we understand that Wood has gone. Although it must be said the writing was on the wall when he himself hinted at the challenges he faced at Wirral Council in our Special Educational Needs and Disability : ' The best interests of the children have definitely not been at the forefront of everyone's thinking…' story.
What we do know is that there is an impending Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman report which won't make pleasant reading for Wirral Council and particularly those in the SEND Department formerly headed by Wood. We anticipate that the Ombudsman will find that Wirral Council were at fault and recommend urgent actions following a serious complaint involving a child with special educational needs. From what we understand it is unclear whether Wirral Council staff have had any training in SEND law. The law is clear, as is the guidance to which the department must adhere. However it would appear that Wirral Council are simply making up their own rules as they go along – no change there then. Hence the Ombudsman ruling and need for 'urgent actions'.
Moreover we also understand that John Wood was involved in leading an investigation that is being described to us – and with apparent justification – as a cover up by Wirral Council. The case involves an allegation of abuse at a special needs school.
Much,much more on both of these stories over the next few weeks.
A very good summary of the foreseeable Stewart Halliday scandal in this week's 'Rotten Boroughs' section of Private Eye. And how courteous of them to acknowledge Wiralleaks (sic) as being an 'excellent website'. It would seem that gone are the days when a local journo would earn a bit of pin money by flogging stories filched from us to Lord Gnome's esteemed organ. Whilst we were OK with spreading the (bad) word about Wirral Council what did rankle was the lack of acknowledgment of where the stories or information first appeared. This is a tradition that the Liverpool Echo, in particular, continues with to this day. The belated coverage of the Halliday case by the local press entirely failed to mention that the incriminating invoices at the centre of the scandal and which led to Halliday's downfall first appeared on this website in our EXCLUSIVE : What's in a Name? – Is this the real reason the controversial, high profile Stewart/Stuart Halliday appointment was suddenly dropped by Wirral Council?
How could we leave you all, especially when the blog has never been so widely read and appreciated ? Moreover we know we've said this before and whilst we don't want to known as making more comebacks than Barbra Streisand we think it's time to quit whilst we're at the top of our game.
It's just become so bloody pointless recounting the seemingly endless parade of incompetence,dishonesty, collusion, corruption and fuckwittery (INSERT OWN PEJORATIVE ADJECTIVE HERE) at Wirral Council and other Wirral institutions… and then to add insult to injury to have the local mainstream media leech off you!
Who knows? All we do know is that we can't continue with our current output – it does nothing for our our mental health or our blood pressure . What we can promise is that we will continue to provide a platform for what we consider to be independent thought and important causes – which basically means all we have to do is press the 'publish and be damned ' button.

We get our hands on and heads round Nintendo's brain trainer.
First Impressions by	Ellie Gibson, Contributor
Updated on 22 August 2006
Games that make you more intelligent are right up there on our list of Things That Should Have Been Invented By Now, along with self-cleaning trainers, helium-based beer and a country-wide network of rollercoasters to replace all trains.
So far we've been out of luck - all right, so there have been various studies claiming that games improve your hand-eye co-ordination, but what use is that for apart from tying shoelaces and, er, playing games?
But now Nintendo is stepping up to save the day with the release of Brain Exercise for the DS. There are already several versions available in Japan, and they're all huge hits - especially with older gamers.
The good news is that come March of next year, two Brain Exercise games will be heading to Europe. We got the chance to have a go on the version aimed at younger adults at the Nintendo Summit in Frankfurt recently, and we're pleased to report that it's an awful lot of fun.
Designed for players aged 18 and up, the Brain Exercise game we played features cartoon graphics and is designed to offer Wario Ware-style bursts of entertainment. You're guided through the game by a blobby-looking figure wearing a mortar board, who informs you that he runs the Big Brain Academy - an institution which specialises in measuring cleverness.
The heavier your brain is, apparently, the smarter you are - which sounds about as scientifically sound as the theory that dolphins are super-intelligent (when was the last time you heard of a dolphin writing a symphony, or finding a cure for cancer, or completing Ninja Gaiden on the hardest setting?).
It's a bit like trying to work out which one is your front door key when you're drunk.
To work out the weight of your brain, the game puts you through a series of tests divided into various categories. First up is Shapes, where you are shown a collection of objects - these could be anything from pieces of fruit and bunches of flowers to toy helicopters, teapots and handbags - on the touch screen.
On the top screen, you'll see the silhouettes of some of these objects, which are whizzing all over the place just to make things a bit trickier, and your task is to select the matching shapes on the touch screen. As with all the tests, you've got a tight time limit within which to get it right, and the puzzles get harder each time you complete one successfully.
In the Logic tests, you're shown a series of scales on which different objects are placed, and it's your job to work out which object is the heaviest. Easy when there's only one set of scales - not so when there are three or four, and you have to use a quick mental equation to deduce the answer.
Then there are the Maths tests. Here you see a number of objects on the top screen - seven toy helicopters, let's say. On the touch screen, there will be various collections of objects - in this example, three teapots, four handbags and five bananas. You have to pick which collections add up to the number on the top screen: so, three teapots plus four handbags equals seven helicopters.
And finally there are Memory tests. The top screen displays a sequence of objects, and then one or more of them are blacked out. You have to touch the missing objects on the bottom screen, ignoring all the red herrings.
These are just examples of the tests you get in each category, mind - there will be many more variations in the finished game.
See? Three pineapples and four ice creams equals... Oh wait hang on
Once it's all over, the game will give you a breakdown of how you performed in each category, and advice as to which areas you need to work on. You're also told how much your brain weighs, and what kind of brain you have.
On our first attempt, we weighed in at 671g (pretty impressive, we thought, until the game informed us that the average brain weighs 1.4kg) and were told: "You have the brain of a stage director." We gave it another go and this time got 875g, which means we have "the brain of a diplomat", apparently.
There's lots of fun to be had comparing your brain weight and type with other players - one of our rivals was told he had "the brain of a stylist", while even cleverer types were informed they had the brains of Shakespeare and Picasso. Who knows, perhaps if you get the top score you're told you have the brain of Vorderman.
There's also a Wi-Fi multiplayer mode for up to eight opponents, though this wasn't up and running in the version we tried out. We're told there will be no online mode, which is a shame, but don't be surprised if future instalments in the series do make use of the Wi-Fi Connection service.
Age concerns
The second version of Brain Exercise is aimed at old buffers aged 30 and up and takes a much more serious approach. You still have to complete tests within a time limit, but they're trickier and have more of an emphasis on proper maths than colourful objects.
There's also more of an emphasis on improving your intelligence. You can keep track of your progress via an in-game diary - each time you play, you'll get a stamp in your diary, up to a maximum of one per day.
Your cleverness isn't measured in terms of how much your brain weighs, but with regard to its age. The first time you play, you'll be told that it's very old. The idea is that the more you play, the more your skills and reaction times will improve, and the younger your brain will get. The ultimate aim is to develop the brain of a 20 year-old.
This is the type of puzzle you get in the game for more mature players. Well at least it's not Sudoku.
Again, we're not quite sure how scientific this is, but if the adult version of Brain Exercise is half as much fun as the one we played it should be well worth a look. So why is it quite so enjoyable? Well, just as with Wario Ware and Project Rub, there's something highly entertaining about quick, simple, well-designed puzzles that have you frantically racing against the clock. Plus there's the added incentive of trying to better your score and prove once and for all that you're more cleverer than what everyone else is.
But perhaps we like Brain Exercise most of all because it offers something different from the usual array of first-person shooters, third person gangbangers and super shiny racers that other publishers are constantly coughing out. What with the likes of this, Trauma Centre: Under the Knife and Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney on the way, it's a good time to be a DS owner if you like your games a little bit different.

Civil rights workers
Outside Agitator: Jon Daniels and the Civil Rights Movement in Alabama
by Charles Eagles
University of Alabama Press, 2000
Library of Congress Classification E185.98.D3E24 2000
Dewey Decimal Classification 976.1063
Outside Agitator tells the dramatic, largely forgotten storybehind the 1965 killing of civil rights worker Jonathan Myrick "Jon" Daniels in Lowndes County, Alabama, detailing the lives of the killer and the victim. A white Episcopal seminary student from New Hampshire, Jon Daniels helped organize blacks in Selma during the events that led to the Selma-to-Montgomery march. In August 1965 he was fatally shot in neighboring Lowndes County by Tom Coleman, a highway department engineer and steadfast segregationist, who was later acquitted by an all-white jury.
Lowndes County was a bastion of white minority dominance. For half a century, no black had voted or served on a jury there. Known for the violence used by whites to maintain their control, "bloody" Lowndes presented Daniels and other civil rights workers with almost insurmountable obstacles. Tom Coleman, a Lowndes County native, represented the consensus among local whites that violent resistance to racial change was justified. To defend his community and to prevent change, he resorted to violence against "outside agitators."
Following the deaths of a score of other civil rights workers, the killing of Jon Daniels was in many ways the last atrocity of the first, southern, nonviolent phase of the Civil Rights movement. This exploration of how Daniels and Coleman came to be at opposite ends of a shotgun outside a county store captures the mechanics and emotions of forces promoting and resisting change in southern race relations. Charles Eagles reminds us that however representative Daniels and Coleman may have been of larger forces, they were nevertheless real individuals with distinctive personalities caught up in specific circumstances.
Charles Eagles, Professor of History at the University of Mississippi, is the author of several books, including Democracy Delayed: Congressional Reapportionment and Urban-Rural Conflict in the 1920s, and editor of The Civil Rights Movement in America.

I have had lots of blog readers ask me to do a video that explains the different royalty programs that Amazon offers authors who publish their books on the Kindle. I know it can get a bit confusing so I broke out my digital whiteboard and created a video that shows you the different options and hopefully simplifies it for you.
Does your template also work for the Nook?
Our Template is 100% optimized for the Kindle so it would not work for the Nook. Because of the formatting differences between the Kindle, Nook, and also iBooks, there isn't one good format that automatically works for all 3 of those platforms.


common questions have popped-up along the way, so we jotted our replies below.
If we haven't covered something that's got you stumped, give us a shout.
Do CLients have to pay to contact or contract talent in the JILLS Gallery?
Nope. In order to best advocate and honor our members' desire to work in their way & within their preferred payment structures, we do not charge any fees for direct client to Jill connections. The Jills Gallery is intended to be an open & easily accessible marketplace. Jills join often, so check-in frequently.
Can I contact or hire a Jill directly WITHOUT any ADDITIONAL steps or approval?
YES! That's the whole idea. We encourage clients and Jills to meet, greet, network, chat and build connections as much & as often as possible.
Personal connections build stronger professional relationships. Period. So with that as our guiding principle, we foster Jill & client matches on their own terms and within their preferred meeting formats. The goal is to create sustainable working relationships that last over years and many projects.
How does hiring a jill actually work?
Clients can search for free via the Jills Directory to find suitable matches to their project needs & reach out directly to as many Jills as relevant.
Clients can Post a Project that will route to the full Jills member community. As responses volley back, the client contacts directly as relevant. * There is a $35 fee for this option.
Why is the Talent in the JILLS Directory so openly featured?
Having all Jills featured prominently and equally within the gallery allows clients to view the breadth and depth of talent. Other hiring sites keep their talent behind a 'curtain', but this approach puts talent in the shadows and triggers a competitive job-bidding dynamic, which always leaves work-quality lacking. Instead, we uniquely put the Jills 1st & forward in an accessible spotlight, which we boldly and proudly broadcast.
CAN MEN JOIN THE JILLS?
Absolutely! In fact, they already do & did :-) Our philosophy is guided by the high value that we place on building Community & Collaboration. Anyone who rallies for this same mission is welcome and encouraged to join our workforce revolution.
Do all Jills have similar expertise?
We intentionally designed the community to represent a BREADTH & DEPTH of talent across a wide range of specialties and industries. The Jills' variety of expertise provides a rich network of peer & project collaborators to "team-up to scale-up". And this diversity also offers clients a robust 1-stop-shop for many different types of project needs to grow their businesses. No need to go on the hunt every time a new project pops-up. THE JILLS is convenient as a go-to.
I'm ALREADY busy with steady CLIENTS & work flowing in, so why join the Jills?
Awesome! Congratulations for setting-up a successful and sustainable shop. You are the model of the future of work. 👊🏼 Jills who are also on your solid footing will gain a community, often missing while working solo. Tapping into a network of fellow solo professionals fills the gaps for the social connections needed for healthy work-life balance & ensures that you stay in-the-loop with peer best-practices and potential project collaborators.
In addition to the community aspect that THE JILLS creates, hitching to our large-scale promotional exposure adds marketing heft and business credibility. Even the mightiest of solos is still one tiny needle in a massive & messy inter-webs haystack trying to get found. More is definitely more when it comes to linking together.
I Joined the Jills. I already have my own WEBSITE, so How am I getting a bigger marketing reach?
Hip, hip, hurray & huzzah! Welcome!
THE JILLS allows you access into our large-scale promotional exposure, that complements and augments your individual efforts. We promote the talent collective as a whole, and at the individual Jill level, which provides an incremental boost to your marketing reach at a national, regional & local level. THE JILLS champions promoting YOU and can do so with a much larger impact.
Our proven philosophy is that all boats float when the tide is high. So by pointing all arrows to THE JILLS in every iteration and at every opportunity, all talent will be lifted higher than if flying solo.
Why do you lead workshops for Businesses?
Educating businesses & industry sectors on why THE JILLS is a smarter way to run a business, being more agile, efficient & cost-effective.
I want to be a jill, but I don't know how to market myself as a solo. how do I get going?
Many reasons will shift a professional into a need or a want to work independently: work-life balance, care-giver flexibility, semi-retirement, corporate buy-out or bounce-out. These professional transitions represent a massive opportunity for reinvention. We know it can be scary, but also an exciting time.
To serve pending-Jills just like yourself, we created a suite of Personal Branding Services. We will work personally and directly with you to identify your marketable & transferable skills to position your new career as a solo. THE JILLS will craft your story with smart clean visuals that serve as your bio, resume, CV, etc. This part of THE JILLS is near and dear to our hearts ❤since we've lived it ourselves. Reinvent & invent a new professional life. It's doable.
Can I work with a Jill who is not in my local area?
Of course! Technology facilitates smooth engagements, so if that's your preferred format, feel free to contact any Jill who fits your work needs.

How English language course providers can maximise the opportunity in China
Chinese Consumers
By Nicolas Chu
In 2017, there were close to 180,000 ELICOS (English Language Intensive Courses for Overseas Students) students in Australia, with around 25% of these coming from China. ELICOS courses are an incredibly important to Chinese students in particular, who have to meet English proficiency standards before they can commence with their studies.
While the majority of Chinese ELICOS students go on to undertake higher education in Australia, there may in fact be other areas of opportunity that ELICOS providers are overlooking.
To find out more about the latest ELICOS trends in the Chinese market, and how ELICOS education providers can take advantage of these, we spoke to CEO of English Australia, Brett Blacker. (English Australia is the national peak body for the English language teaching sector, whose members include independent ELICOS providers, vocational ELICOS providers, TAFE colleges and universities.) Here are some of his insights.
ELICOS numbers in Australia are steadily increasing
Australia remains a highly popular destination for Chinese university students, currently making up around 38% of the international student cohort. What may be less widely known, however, is that the numbers are also increasing in other educational sectors. In vocational education, for example, China is now the number-three source market, making up around 9% of the cohort as of November 2018 – this represents a year-on-year growth of 10%. China is also now the number-one source of international students for the primary and secondary school sector, and while the numbers are relatively small, particularly compared to the higher education numbers – as of November 2018, Australia was hosting around 5,800 Chinese international school students – this number is still significantly higher than the number-two destination, Vietnam (1,700 students).
This, of course, has a knock-on effect for ELICOS providers, as Chinese students must have a certain level of English language proficiency before starting their studies – around 70% of ELICOS students will go on to other forms of study, whether it be higher education, vocational training or school (only 6% of Chinese students solely took ELICOS courses). From 2016 to 2017, the number of ELICOS students from China grew by around 15%.
That being said, says Blacker, the numbers aren't growing at quite the same rate. "One thing that is interesting to observe in the latest data is that the rate of growth in those higher education and vocational sectors is actually higher than in ELICOS. This would indicate that students are improving their language proficiency either offshore or through other channels before commencing their studies in Australia."
"Executive" ELICOS
This tendency for students to work on their language proficiency prior to coming to Australia means ELICOS providers may need to start looking to other market segments. One key area of opportunity, says Blacker, is offering short-term (i.e one to four weeks) "executive" ELICOS courses, that blend tourism and language education. This would be aimed at young professionals wishing to increase their employability.
This would help us compete with other key ELICOS destinations, such as the US and the UK – Australia, after all, is a highly attractive destination to Chinese tourists, so being able to gain cultural and travel experiences while also boosting language skills would be highly desirable to young, affluent professionals.
It's important to remember that this demographic prefers to travel around the Spring Festival (Chinese New Year) when they tend to be given several days off, so ELICOS providers should time their courses accordingly.
Transnational ELICOS study
English language courses within China are becoming increasingly sophisticated, with students paying high fees to participate in highly individualised courses, either one-on-one or in small groups, which blend online and offline learning. In order to compete in this highly competitive market, therefore, Australian ELICOS providers need to consider how they can make their packages more attractive, and how they can maximise their opportunities offshore as well as onshore.
Another key trend is the rise of transnational education – many Australian higher education institutions are in fact co-delivering some of their English language course in China, helping to ensure that students' language proficiency is already up to par before they commence their studies in Australia.
"It still remains a really valuable part of our framework, as we look to make sure that we're not just recruiting students purely onshore, but we are looking at enriching our relationships offshore by co-delivery and other modes that will allow greater access to Australian education," says Blacker.
Another area of opportunity worth exploring is teacher training, for which Australia is "well respected", says Blacker. Again, a transnational education would be highly desirable for this demographic, as it gives them the best of both worlds: they can remain close to family and friends and seek local employment, but also progress their language and teaching skills and have an international experience.

PUBG Adds New Vikendi Snow Map On Mobile
Hot on the heels of its release on PC, Vikendi has arrived in the mobile version of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. The new snow map is now available on both iOS and Android as a free update, and it comes alongside a handful of other new features.
Unlike PUBG's other maps thus far, Vikendi is 6×6 km large, making it smaller than Erangel and Miramar–both of which are 8×8 km–but larger than the 4×4 Sanhok. Its defining feature is its snow-covered terrain, which encompasses mountains, open fields, frozen lakes, and deserted villages.
The map also boasts some unique elements, including an exclusive vehicle–snowmobiles. Players will also be able to take part in snowball fights on the spawn island. You can take a closer look at the map in the trailer below.
In addition to Vikendi, the latest update for the mobile version of PUBG introduces cross-server matchmaking and improved anti-cheating measures. PUBG Corp. and Tencent have also added a firearm finish upgrade system, as well as "Lucky Treasure," which gives players a chance to get the Glacier – M416 after completing daily missions. You can find the full patch notes for the update on Reddit.
Vikendi arrived for the PC version of PUBG this week, following its release on the game's test server during The Game Awards earlier this month. PUBG Corp. also released the Vikendi: Survivor Pass on PC, which lets players unlock exclusive skins and rewards by completing certain milestones. Vikendi is slated to come to Xbox One and PS4 in January 2019.

I am a Researcher at the National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience (NIED).
My research interests include earthquake source mechanisms, energy budget of earthquakes and the evolution of crustal properties around faults. Seismological observations bring a lot of information on the earthquake source and the structure of the Earth by comparing them to theoretical models, derived from solid mechanics. However, sometimes there are still discrepancies between the observations and theoretical models, implying additional factors which conflict with the assumptions made in the models. My goal is to identify and quantify the factors using the state-of-the-art techniques (e.g. continuous monitoring of ambient seismic noise, physics-based dynamic earthquake rupture modeling), which enable us to better understand the source mechanisms, the overall energy budget and the consequent ground motion.
Key words: Ambient seismic noise monitoring, dynamic earthquake rupture modelling, off-fault damage, earthquake source mechanics, combined Finite-Discrete Element Method (FDEM)

Seung Min-ryu, the 2004 Olympic men's table tennis champion from the Republic of Korea, has enjoyed an unforgettable year on the IOC Athletes' Commission, which has taken him from serving as Mayor of the Olympic Village in PyeongChang to the negotiation table as relations between the two Koreas improved through sport, and finally to the Youth Olympic Games (YOG) Buenos Aires 2018, where he mentored the next generation as an Athlete Role Model. Here, Seung explains how he has been advocating for athletes' rights every step of the way, and how his various roles demonstrate that the athletes' voice has been present at the top table of Olympic Movement decision-making throughout 2018.
The Youth Olympic Games were an unforgettable experience for me, and I was really honoured to be there. I'm so proud of all the young athletes: not only competing against each other but respecting each other and having conversations with each other as well.
I was in Buenos Aires from the start as an Athlete Role Model: first taking part in the Olympism in Action Forum, then going to the table tennis venue to play with some local Argentinian children who hadn't played before. I hope they learned something from the experience – but I also learned many things from them about their passions and their dreams.
I also played [in Buenos Aires] with a young athlete from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), which was a really unforgettable moment. It has been an amazing year for Korea, with great changes in the relationship between South Korea and North Korea through sport since the Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018.
This is the power of sport to change the world: it can change our conversations and our relationships. As an IOC Member and as a member of the IOC Athletes' Commission, it is a huge honour for me to be part of this project.
In PyeongChang, I watched the first match between the unified Korean women's ice hockey team and Switzerland, which left a fantastic impression in my heart. Even though we lost 8-0, all the spectators, all the officials and even the IOC President stayed to applaud and meet the players. It was a really fantastic moment.
PyeongChang was the first time I ever participated in the Olympic Winter Games – and I was Mayor of the Olympic Village. It was a special experience and a really big responsibility; we organised Welcome Ceremonies for athletes from more than 75 countries as they entered the Village.
It has been a busy year for me and my colleagues on the IOC Athletes' Commission, with many important issues and objectives, such as anti-doping and athletes' rights and responsibilities. We're working very hard to support athletes, and we had a really positive meeting after the Olympism in Action Forum in October.
In April 2019, we have the next International Athletes' Forum, which we hope will be bigger than ever. In 2017, we had about 100 athlete representatives; but next year, we hope that more than double that number will come to Lausanne and share the experience. It is another opportunity to promote the Olympic values – but also to promote and secure athletes' rights and responsibilities for our future.

Images can be the key to powerful communications – and now you have 10,000+ more at your finger tips in FWPA's new online library – and the opportunity to promote your products and services by uploading your own images too!
The growing use of online communications is making sourcing and including appropriate images more important than ever. Whether it's in a website, brochure, email newsletter, news article or advertising - images can boost readership, raise search engine profiles and more.
FWPA's new online library, located at http://fwpa.lookatmedam.com/site/welcome.me is an ideal opportunity for companies in the forest and wood products industries to source generic images to use in their own communications or to upload their own images and make them available to other users.
Available images range from plantation and native forestry through harvesting, milling and processing to wood and wood products and award winning timber structures and furniture. Adding your images to the library is an excellent opportunity to raise awareness of your business, its products and operations. Eligible images must feature the production or use of wood or wood products and you must own the copyright, or have the right to share them for general use.
The library currently comprises more than 10,000 images which are searchable by key words and availability. Owing to copyright restrictions, not all images are available for all purposes.
If you have any pictures of wood and wood products in use, especially in outdoor landscaping settings, furniture design and other structural or non-structural applications, FWPA would be delighted to help you share them through the image library.

'It sends a shiver down the spine': Astronomers capture a stunning image of the first ever 'alien' comet to pass through our solar system
Comet C/2017 U1 was first spotted by astronomers last week
Now, researchers have used telescopes around the world to study it
Findings show it's a rocky or icy object that entered our solar system by chance
By Shivali Best For Mailonline

Last week, a mysterious object whizzed past Earth, which scientists suspected was the first 'alien comet' to visit us from another solar system.
Now, researchers have revealed stunning images of the comet in action, and information on its possible chemical composition.
The image 'sends a shiver down the spine,' according to scientists studying it.
Their findings suggest that it is a small rocky or icy object that may have been drifting through our galaxy for millions or even billions of years, before entering our solar system by chance.
Last week, a mysterious object whizzed past Earth, which scientists suspected was the first 'alien comet' to visit us from another solar system. Now, researchers have revealed stunning images of the comet in action, and information on its possible chemical composition
WHERE DID IT COME FROM?
Most comets follow ellipse-shaped orbits around the sun.
But this comet appears to orbit at an angle, and doesn't circle the sun.
Its orbital path suggests it entered our solar system from the direction of the constellation Lyra, looped around the sun, and will never return.
But others have suggested that the comet did come from Earth, but interacted with Jupiter or another planet, which changed its orbit.

Researchers from Queen's University Belfast have been studying the mysterious comet, called C/2017 U1, using powerful telescopes across the world.
While most comets follow ellipse-shaped orbits around the sun, this comet appears to orbit at an angle, and doesn't circle the sun.
Professor Alan Fitzsimmons, who is leading the study, said: 'By Wednesday this week it became almost certain this object was alien to our solar system.

'We immediately started studying it that night with the William Herschel Telescope in the Canary Islands, then on Thursday night with the Very Large Telescope in Chile.'
Initial findings suggest that the comet is a small rocky or icy object that may have been drifting through our galaxy for millions or even billions of years, before entering our solar system by chance.

The object flew into the solar system from above, was close to the sun last month, and is now already on its way back out to the stars, according to the researchers.
Astronomers believe it was probably thrown out of another star system during a period of planet formation.
Despite suspecting such objects existed and looking out for them over past decades, scientists have never seen such an interstellar visitor until now.

During their investigations, Professor Fitzsimmons' team captured clear images of the unusual object.
Professor Fitzsimmons added: 'It sends a shiver down the spine to look at this object and think it has come from another star.'
The researchers highlight that more information is needed to pin down the exact details of where the visitor came from, but hope that further studies will reveal more about the mysterious comet.
The comet, called C/2017 U1 was spotted by a telescope in Hawaii on 18 October, and was then seen 34 separate times in the week after. Its path is illustrated in Nasa's animation, above
But not everyone is convinced that the comet comes from another solar system.
Dr Maria Womack, a planetary scientist at the University of South Florida said: 'It could have interacted with Jupiter or another planet in such a way that changed its orbit.
'When you think of photos of comets, they're a fuzzy blob. People have to make determinations of where they think the centre is.
'Someone who is at the telescope has to make a call.'

As previously reported Suffolk Libraries IPS took control of Suffolk's 44 libraries on 1 August. Yesterday it held a meeting for local libraries interested in the possibility of membership. A total of 18 libraries were represented at this first meeting which was in my view a good start.
By August next year the IPS will hold its first elections to appoint 7 Directors. Directors must be nominated by at least one IPS "member". IPS Members will also vote for the Directors. Each library is eligible for membership it it forms some kind of group that can become a member of the IPS.
Originally the intention set by Suffolk County Council was for each library to have a "incorporated" organisation of some kind like a limited company that could become a member of the IPS. I wrote a piece about this in March arguing this was a governance sledgehammer to crack a nut.
Thankfully the IPS has now had a re-think and will now allow unincorporated "friends groups" that are easy to set up to become members. The aim according to IPS Board Member Sylvia Knights is to ensure a well populated, vigorous and varied membership before the Board elections.
This is an important message. For the IPS to continue to thrive it needs to have Board members committed to the library service. This can only happen if enough libraries become members and put forward candidates.
So as the IPS looks to have cleared its first hurdle, negotiating a contract with the County Council it faces every bit as much of a challenge now on two fronts. Making the local groups work and restructuring its staff.

Euro 2020: Spain loses badly to Sweden, Scotland and Poland game | dw
There are days when he doesn't really want the ball in football, to be more precise. Hobbyists and professionals alike can tell a thing or two about it. Today the song is symbolically accompanied by Spanish flamenco sounds, as they are typical of today's venue Seville. And if there was a singer – Spanish strikers Alvaro Morata and Gerard would introduce themselves. Because these two had the best chance of a full series of good chances in a game against Sweden, which was dominated by the Spanish by 1 minute. Morata conceded in the first round to Swedish goalkeeper Olsen, who was also present with a reflex on the line in the 90th minute, when Gerard scored the winning goal from close range on his feet in the last minute – a one thousand percent chance Katgori. "
Domination only till the last pass
And despite the good opportunities, it was worth noting that the final pass of the youth team of coach Luis Enrique often did not want to be successful. Given the overwhelming dominance of occupation and presence in the opposing penal zone, the Spaniards were unlikely. Meanwhile, the Swedes did what they have already successfully practiced in the tournament: close everything in the back and wait for opportunities in the front. There weren't many of them for him that evening in Seville. And yet Sweden has one point on its account after a start against the three-time European champions. Spain too, of course, but tonight it's overshadowed by the blues.
Poland froze in Slovakia
If Robert Lewandowski doesn't score once, it's usually the best news of the day for the opponent. In the Group E game between Poland and Slovakia, FC Bayern's star striker did not score, but the best news of the day for Slovak opponents came from another opponent: Grzygorz Krychovic, with his yellow-red elimination, ordered by the referee. Given Poland's middle midfield probably saved Slovakia from defeat. After repeated foul play, Pole had to leave the field in the 62nd minute – and a little later, the Slovaks, who were outnumbered, achieved a final score of 1: 2.

red card changes everything
From the point of view of the Poles, one might say: fooled. Especially in the second half, Lewandowski's supporters and side men got better and better in the game – and indeed this time after the equalizer by Karol Linetti, soon after the restart (46th), everyone was preparing for the lead. Polish team. The dismissal abruptly ended the solicitation phase for Krychowiak.
Earlier, former Nuremberg striker Robert Mack had aged the Polish defensive department in the first half and took the lead by going alone from the left in the box. As Poland's goalkeeper Wojciech Szczny still sees the ball from the post, the goal (18th) is eventually counted by the keeper as his own goal.
Gets through and hits the mark: Slovak Robert Mack (right)
And then, when ten Poles were to run for eleven, Milan Scrianar uses the next possible chance after being sent off to score the winning goal (69th). Have Lewandowski or other Polish players inadvertently prepared similarly good news for their next rival, Spain?
Scotland lost its first game in Glasgow
Scotland also lost at the start and feared for survival after the first game of the European Championship and 0:2 (0:1) against the Czechs. Because the group is very hidden from England and Croatia.
Scotland goalkeeper David Marshall surprised himself at 0:2 on 45 meters from Patrick Schick of the Czech Republic
It shouldn't have happened. Because after a pastoral preliminary stage, Scotland had its chances in Glasgow in front of 12,500 spectators. Czech scored. More precisely: a check. Patrick Schick led the Scots after a standard corner kick (42nd minute). And then, as the Scots were getting together and local fans were already singing joyful songs in Hampden Park, Schick measured himself from about 45 meters – he saw Scottish keeper David Marshall once again standing away in front of him. was. Box. Marshall tries to make up for his mistake with a daring run to the back. But there was nothing more he could do about the round disaster that fell from the sky. The goalkeeper lands in the net, but so does the ball.

At the top of this group, Scotland should expect the Croatian to remain as harmless as they did in their opening loss against England on Sunday. Otherwise, Steve Clarke and his team should have no great chance of moving forward.

Small Employers and New Emergency FMLA
In this episode of The Workplace podcast, CalChamber Executive Vice President and General Counsel Erika Frank, and employment law expert Jennifer Shaw discuss the responsibilities small employers have under the Emergency Family Medical Leave Expansion Act (EFMLA), and how the new leave differs from the regular Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA).
EFMLA Applies to Small Employers
Part of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act passed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic crisis, the Emergency Family Medical Leave Expansion Act (EFMLA) provides paid protected leave to employees who cannot work due to having to care for a child who cannot attend school or daycare due to reasons related to COVID-19.
Although they share similar names, the EFMLA and FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act) differ in a number of significant ways. Shaw explains that:
Unlike the regular FMLA, which applies to large employers with 50 or more employees within a 75-mile radius, the EFMLA applies to any employer with 500 or fewer employees. "The big guys are exempt, and the little guys are covered," Shaw says.
Whereas the FMLA is available to workers employed with a company for at least 12 months, with 1,250 hours worked, the EFMLA is available to employees who have been at a company for only 30 days at the time of the leave.
Lastly, the EFMLA differs in that it is a paid leave—up to 10 weeks are paid by the employer, and two weeks are unpaid. The employee may choose to use vacation, sick or accrued time off during the two unpaid weeks.
Employees are to be paid at two-thirds the employee's regular rate of pay. Shaw adds that calculating the pay may be complicated if the employee receives bonuses, commissions or tips. Frank recommends that employers refer to the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) FAQ page to obtain more information on calculating an employee's "regular rate of pay." The EFMLA leave also can be taken intermittently.
The EFMLA also applies to companies that employ temporary employees through staffing agencies.
Even if using a staffing agency, a company is still controlling the duties performed by workers and is considered a "joint employer," Shaw explains.
The DOL FAQ page is available at https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/pandemic/ffcra-questions.

title: "Learning through blogs"

I agree with Rickard's opinion on learning from blogs, and in fact said something very similar on Joel's site a few days ago (toward the bottom). (I had something to expand on about "lack of anonymity and personal context", but my eyelids are getting strangely heavy...)
