Q: Tagging docker images and adding variables in docker-compose I'm using docker to build and deploy applications. After building the image i need to tag and use that image from another system which has docker-compose on it. I'm using Jenkins to build and deploy images to private docker registries.  Docker compose file on the host system should automatically pull those images based on tag version.
How to pass variables to docker-compose to substitute tag values ?
Example:
if a=2.4 then it should substitute 2.4 inside docker-compose file for a.
version: '2'
services:
 web:
  image: httpd:$a
  ports:
    - 80:80

A: You can actually use this as written.  Docker compose will use your OS environment to populate variables using the syntax that you have here.
On Mac/Linux:
export a=2.4
docker-compose up

This Thematic Seminar, Nurturing Nature for Sustainable Cities and Regions - Implementing the Nature Directives in Cities and Regions: Nature-Based Solutions for Key Urban Challenges, aims to look into innovative solutions which help implementing the Nature Directives when addressing pressing urban and regional challenges, such as flood protection, well-being and health, and the protection of our natural capital for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations.
How can nature-based solutions in cities and in the peri-urban areas deliver on recreation and wellbeing of the citizen, whilst enhancing the quality of the 18% of Natura 2000 areas which are located in urban areas?
At the same time, the European Commission aims to gather information on the regions' R&I needs and on obstacles which may be hindering them from investing in nature-based solutions.
The Knowledge Exchange Platform (KEP) is a concept jointly developed by the European Committee of the Regions and DG Research and Innovation of the European Commission. It is aimed at presenting new R&I solutions, innovative products and best practices in response to societal challenges facing the regions and cities of Europe. In 2018, the KEP will address the themes of Innovating cities with nature & Nature-based solutions and Cultural heritage.
Please find the draft agenda attached. You can also visit the event page on the website of the European Committee of the Regions and register here.
This event is organised by the European Committee of the Regions and DG Research and Innovation of the European Commission, with the support of ERRIN and ICLEI.

You are here: Home / Why Do Wisdom Teeth Cause Problems?
Wisdom teeth can sometimes grow in without causing any oral health problems, and in these cases, they do not require removal. Unfortunately, most people's wisdom teeth do not grow in normally; sometimes the teeth grow in sideways, become trapped under the gums, damage adjacent teeth, or overcrowd the rest of the teeth and cause dental shifting. In many cases, the jaw is not large enough to accommodate four extra molars, and wisdom teeth are some of the largest teeth we have.
Damage to the second molars. Wisdom teeth have a tendency to grow in sideways. In fact, even wisdom teeth that appear to be growing in properly can suddenly turn toward the other molars. If the wisdom teeth continue to grow in diagonally or directly toward your healthy teeth, they can cause serious damage to the roots of your healthy molars.
Infections. Sometimes wisdom teeth only partially erupt from the gums, creating a space for harmful bacteria to hide beneath the gum tissue. The impacted tooth can become infected, which causes discomfort and serious oral health complications if not treated immediately.
Cysts and growths. Sometimes wisdom teeth infections become so severe that they form cysts or even tumors in the area around the tooth. These growths can damage the bone around the tooth.
Shifting and crowding of healthy teeth. If there is not adequate space for your teeth to grow in, your other teeth may shift and become crowded together, which can cause bite problems and crooked teeth (even in patients who have already had braces).
Extracting wisdom teeth before they are fully developed is the best way to avoid these oral health problems before they start to cause damage, pain, and discomfort. Your wisdom teeth can be evaluated before they ever grow in to determine whether or not they require removal, but even fully erupted wisdom teeth can be extracted safely by an experienced oral surgeon.
Both Dr. Denis Miller and Dr. Louis George at Siouxland Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery have years of experience evaluating wisdom teeth. We have four convenient locations where you can receive a full wisdom teeth consultation, including scans using advanced 3D scanning technology if necessary. Drs. Miller and George can extract wisdom teeth at any stage of development whether they are still beneath the gums or fully grown in.

Ten years ago, I met the friend I have religiously called "the sweetest person you'll ever meet." Bianca is the type of friend every woman should have- you can trust her with your secrets, vent to her without being judged, and she will totally make you laugh all the time! From playing her mother in Romeo + Juliet, to hours and hours sipping caffeine, to her using my ID far before she was 21, I am lucky to call her one of my very, very best friends. Throughout the years we have shared all of our ups and downs, and ever since she met Josh, those ups have far outweighed the downs, and I am excited to share their story.
About a year and a half ago, I heard about a wonderful guy (Josh!) that she'd met at Outsidelands in San Francisco and the next thing I knew, she was on on a first date... in a helicopter... flying over Santa Monica. Yes, you read that right- dream date status! I could tell by the way she talked about him that this was going to be serious. Being a great photographer himself, Josh toted a camera along on all their dates and was always up for spontaneous adventures, which is exactly what she needed. She relocated from Los Angeles to San Francisco to be with him, and that's when it became obvious they had found their soulmate in each other.
When Josh asked me to capture his proposal, I about died. What more could a girl want than someone to love the hell out of their best friend and do something so special and memorable for her?! We messaged back and forth and planned exactly how and when he would pop the question, and we had to make sure that Bianca wouldn't catch on to the plans. He brought a bunch of "secret" Valentine's props to throw her off the scent, and bought the coolest ring box that was so thin it would look like a wallet in his pocket so there was no chance she'd see it. I'm pretty sure she was in complete shock when he pulled out the "marry me" sign and I watched as she tried SO HARD not to look at it... and the rest is history. Scroll down and enjoy the story of their proposal.
Oh yeah... she said YES!

Applications for Review
Zoning Map Amendment
The City of Geneva is divided into 26 zoning districts. Each zoning district establishes a specific list of allowable uses and area requirements.
Some zoning districts also establish specific development standards designed to protect the intent of that district. A zoning map amendment may be used to reclassify a property's zoning district.
For example, a property owner may wish to rezone a property from the R1, Low Density Single-Family Residential District to the R6, Medium Two- and Three-Family Residential District in order to convert a single-family home into a duplex.
Zoning map amendments are typically requested because the original zoning was issued in error (a residential property was classified as business) or because the character of the surrounding area has changed over time, which warrants a change in zoning.
A zoning map amendment may be initiated by the City Council, Planning and Zoning Commission or owner of the property for which the amendment is sought.

Twin Falls School District will provide free online classes for homeschoolers
TWIN FALLS — Twin Falls homeschoolers: You'll soon have access to free curriculum and online classes through the Twin Falls School District.
The district is launching a new partnership with Harmony Educational Services, based in Springville, Utah.
An informational meeting for interested families is slated for Tuesday at the Twin Falls Public Library. Families can enroll their kindergarten through eighth-graders in the program through mid-September.
The partnership essentially allows homeschoolers the flexibility to pick and choose their curriculum and online classes, and have support from the Twin Falls School District. And it allows the district to receive state funding for each student enrolled.
"The school district recognizes that there are homeschooled families in the district that they are really not providing resources for," said Jon Funes, vice president of Harmony Educational Services. "It's a flexible program that really focuses on homeschooled families and trying to meet their needs."
But not everyone has been pleased.
The Salt Lake Tribune reported in May 2014 that two Utah charter schools cut ties with Harmony.
One of the school leaders called the company "predatory" during a meeting with the Utah State Charter School Board, saying taxpayer money wasn't used wisely.
It came after a 2014 audit report from the Utah State Board of Education, scrutinizing distance learning and online programs in Utah schools.
It found about $10.5 million in state money that year went to Harmony Educational Services and My Tech High Inc., another Utah-based online learning provider.
The Better Business Bureau gives Harmony an A+ rating, although the company isn't BBB accredited.
The Idaho State Department of Education doesn't regulate or monitor homeschooling education. It's up to each parent to select the curriculum they'll use. And parents don't have to fill out any paperwork or register showing they're homeschooling their child.
Magic Valley Junior School and Magic Valley Commonwealth School are among several organized local homeschooling groups. Other families meet informally for classes.
But some school districts — including Twin Falls — are looking at how to serve homeschooled students.
In June, the Twin Falls School District signed a one-year contract with Harmony, effective through June 30, 2018.
The district will pay $300 to the company for each student Harmony recruits to enroll for next school year, according to the contract.
Plus, for the curriculum, the district will pay Harmony $1,590 per year for each full-time kindergartner and $2,390 for each full-time first through sixth-grader. It will cost $250 per semester course for seventh and eighth-graders.
Full-time student mentoring and other services will cost $400 for kindergartners and $750 for first-through-eighth-graders.
School officials weren't aware of Utah schools pulling out of their agreement with Harmony, Twin Falls School District spokeswoman Eva Craner said Monday.
But they spoke with other Idaho school districts who've contracted with the company, she said, and received positive responses.
After the first year, school officials will evaluate how the offering worked and will talk with participating families, Craner said.
Twin Falls parent Shawnee Zelenka, who homeschools five children, plans to enroll her four oldest through Harmony's program with the Twin Falls School District.
Her oldest, who's in high school, takes classes via iSucceed Virtual High School.
A homeschooling parent for 11 years, Zelenka said she's excited to have access to resources and curriculum through the partnership.
She used to be neighbors with a Twin Falls School District administrator, who reached out to her to let her know about the partnership with Harmony.
As a homeowner in Twin Falls, Zelenka's family is paying property taxes toward the public school system. With the new partnership, "this kind of gives us an opportunity to similar resources available that we wouldn't normally have," she said.
Plus, she said her children will have to take state standardized tests, which will help her ensure they're on track academically.
A benefit for the school district: Some homeschooled students end up transitioning into the district for middle or high school, Craner said.
By working with those families, she said, it will help with the transition and school officials know which classes students have taken.
Harmony identifies families and brings them back into the public education system, Funes said.
One of the reasons why parents choose to pull their children from public schools: They're looking for more class choices and say in how they're taught, he said.
Harmony offers a broad range of curriculum that aligns with Idaho standards, he said, and there's no one-size-fits-all approach.
The company contracts with dozens of different vendors so families can piece together class options that work best for their child, Funes said.
Harmony also hopes to provide on-site elective classes once a week in Twin Falls for participating students.
Another option: Homeschooling parents can use a "flex" program to utilize materials they've already found to be successful with their child, Funes said.
Under that option, their child fills out a worksheet regularly to ensure they're learning topics that align with Idaho standards.
The Oneida School District in Malad City in eastern Idaho partners with Harmony. The district provides the offering through its Idaho Home Learning Academy, open to kindergarten through eighth-grade homeschooled students across the state.
The partnership began at the beginning of last school year, said Terri Sorensen, principal of the Idaho Home Learning Academy. "It has been a learning curve this year."
But overall, "I do feel it's beneficial for those homeschooled parents to get some good curriculum aligned to standards," she said.
Last school year, about 200 students participated in the partnership through the Oneida School District. Their work is overseen by teachers and school administrators.
Said Sorensen: "Pretty much, they're just students in our district."

Fears for ears
Free Press critics agree: stylish horror film ramps up dread with effective sound design
By: Alison Gillmor, Randall King and Erin Lebar | Posted: 06/8/2018 3:00 AM | Comments:
The release of the horror movie Hereditary has been accompanied by some hype suggesting that this is a contemporary horror movie equal to William Friedkin's classic The Exorcist.
Written and directed by first-time feature director Ari Aster, it's about a family that starts to come unmoored after the death of grandma, leaving troubled artist Annie (Toni Collette) as the surviving house matriarch to her daughter Charlie (Milly Shapiro) and teen son Peter (Alex Wolff), with assistance from supportive husband Steve (Gabriel Byrne).
Toni Collette runs the gamut of emotions as a troubled artist and mother in Hereditary.
Charlie is an especially odd duck, making strange "nok" sounds and wandering off at night to sleep in a treehouse.
Annie's artwork involves creating miniature interiors that reflect the somewhat warped dynamics of her own household. That art takes a twisted turn when the family endures another devastating loss, resulting in Annie investigating what may be a supernatural legacy she and her family have inherited from Annie's absent-yet-still-present mother.
To review the film, the Free Press sent hardened movie critics Alison Gillmor and Randall King to the screening along with music writer Erin Lebar, a confessed scaredy-cat where horror films are concerned.
Here's the triple consensus:
(To Erin) Were you terrorized?
Erin Lebar
I was very uncomfortable the entire time. But I react very viscerally to sound, and this film has a very in-your-face soundscape; it was very unnerving and very much in the forefront the entire time, so that's why I was sitting with my ears plugged for a good three-quarters of the two-hour running time. I can watch almost anything, but I can't deal with the loud, freaky sounds.
Alison Gillmor
That's interesting.
Yeah, so for me it wasn't so much the story as it was the sound, including Charlie's stupid little mouth click that I will have nightmares about forever.
I'd been hearing the Exorcist comparisons, which I never really buy into. It's its own movie, really.
I thought there were echoes of The Exorcist and Rosemary's Baby, a few other of my favourite films. Not that it's as good as either of those — it has a kind of wacky inconsistency — but it shares some horror DNA.
I would add Suspiria to that. Especially towards the end. You're plunged into a universe where anything goes, and it's very unsettling, especially since most of the movie is grounded in the real world.
What I thought was interesting about it was that the trailer really plays up the shocking horror moments, but then the film itself is much more about emotional dread — an hour-and-a-half of pure, constant, thrumming dread before the shocker ending. It is like The Exorcist, in that you get this long lead-up where you're thinking, is this supernatural or is this just the alienation, the disconnection of modern life? Here there's so much family dysfunction — guilt, resentment, deception — before the crazy stuff kicks in. It's more about the haunted family before you get to the haunted house.
Yes, that trailer was very misleading for a lot of reasons. Which I will not expand on because #spoilers. But the story definitely did not go where I thought it was going to go, and I'm not sure yet if that's a good or bad or neutral thing. Ask me again tomorrow after what is bound to be an uneasy sleep.
It's always been said that the people who were especially terrified by The Exorcist were Catholics, because it hit them where they live. And this is about family and family hits everybody where they live, if you will. So I can see how it's a good idea to set its parameters more broadly.
For me, it took too long to connect the dots.
I don't think you were meant to.
Yeah, probably, but I just never knew what was happening, and more importantly, I didn't know why things were happening. There was no clear motive, I guess? At least not until the very, very end. I felt like it took a long time to have a sense of movement in terms of pushing the plot forward. It was like plateaued terror, plateaued terror, séance, creepy girl, creepy boy, creepy mom doing creepy art, another séance, and then it all of a sudden ramped up to 100 in the last 20 minutes.
Those are pretty crazy dots, even for an art-house horror movie. The other thing it reminded me of — and this is where it picks up themes of The Exorcist and Rosemary's Baby, too — is The Babadook, which is really about motherhood. I mean there's always been scary mothers in horror, but it's about the terror of motherhood, at least partly from the mother's point of view. And I think that works really effectively. The film plays on some of your worst fears and your worst guilt about motherhood.
I think you're exactly right, and you're the only mother in the room, so…
My children are both fine, by the way!
But yes, I think you're right, I think that's the kind of approach that hooks you. Also, she's a mother but she's also carrying a lot of the baggage from her mother.
Hence Hereditary!
Oooh!
Movies just don't scare me anymore.
You're so Gabriel Byrne-like.
I kind of am. These days, the only filmmaker who can keep me up at night is David Lynch.
Milly Shapiro as Charlie
You didn't think that little girl was creepy as hell?
Oh my God. Imagine waking up to that kid standing next to your bed in the middle of the night… good Lord.
That's not to say I wasn't impressed. I do think it's a wonderful achievement in style.
I thought the style was quite extraordinary, actually. All those weird little maquettes of the family home that just got odder and odder, eventually busting down the barrier between artifice and reality.
Yeah I loved that. And the sound design was fantastic.
I like that the filmmakers were able to illustrate the relationship between Annie and her mother without the audience ever actually meeting the mother, just through the figurines. Like, the mom figurine creepily standing in the doorway while Annie and her husband are in bed or holding her breast out to breastfeed Annie's baby, which is really weird and not a thing that's normal, I hope.
Nope, definitely not normal. But yes, I don't know who that actress was, but her present non-presence was pretty effective.
All hail Toni Collette, who can basically do anything. She covers the spectrum of motherhood, from protective to awful to angry to suffering to … well, I can't really say without getting way spoiler-y, but it's a revelation.

I agree, I am always impressed with Toni Collette's versatility and, in this case specifically, how she expertly navigated her character's emotional/mental transitions. For me, going into watching this, I was mentally prepared to be catatonic with fear. However, while I was indeed emotionally and physically uncomfortable — my body hurts from all my muscles stress-tightening for two hours — it wasn't that bad. There aren't the sort of jump-scare tactics you'd expect, which is what I hate the most, but rather it's more of a resounding creepiness that only becomes intolerable for scaredy-cats such as me during the last 20 minutes. If I can make it through, anyone can.
I would suggest this first-time director Ari Aster is better than simple jump scares. He's a guy who has a very good understanding how important sound editing is in the horror genre. From Cat People to Invasion of the Body Snatchers to The Exorcist, it's been proved that the most reliable pathway for a filmmaker to induce terror is through the ears. And, wow, it's demonstrated here… in spades.
From left: Gabriel Byrne, Toni Collette and Alex Wolff deal with supernatural goings-on.
Studying at the University of Winnipeg and later Toronto's York University, Alison Gillmor planned to become an art historian. She ended up catching the journalism bug when she started as visual arts reviewer at the Winnipeg Free Press in 1992.
Erin Lebar is a multimedia producer who spends most of her time writing music- and culture-related stories for the Arts & Life section. She also co-hosts the Winnipeg Free Press's weekly pop-culture podcast, Bury the Lede.
In a way, Randall King was born into the entertainment beat.

New managing director brings business and scientific expertise to the UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute
By Branwyn Wagman
The UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute has taken on a new managing director, Ravi Jain, to serve alongside scientific director David Haussler and oversee the institute's strategic planning, business development, and operations, among other responsibilities.
Jain comes to UC Santa Cruz after serving as president and CEO of cBio, a software development and bioinformatics consulting firm he co-founded. He holds a Ph.D. in molecular evolution from UCLA.
"As managing director, Ravi will play a major role in the development and growth of the genomics institute," David Haussler said. "He will lead us as we take on the many challenges associated with developing the global platform for genomics—as we coordinate, analyze, and make available the volumes of sequencing data and related clinical information generated by genomic projects from around the world."
Jain's experience at cBio relates directly to this new role. With its mission of enhancing public health, cBio applied bioinformatics to problems of microbial diagnostics and biosurveillance, including processing, analyzing, and visualizing data from multiple next-generation sequencing platforms.
"The Genomics Institute is an important initiative at UC Santa Cruz, building upon our successes in the human genome project and applying them to many important problems, including precision medicine and cancer treatment," vice chancellor of research Scott Brandt said. "Dr. Jain's solid scientific and business experience will help elevate UC Santa Cruz's genomics efforts to the next level."
Jain said, "The UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute has brought a global set of players together and leveraged its own strengths in the computational arena to help deliver better treatment options to patients."
"With its legacy of performance in the area of genomics and specifically in medical genomics, the institute is poised to revolutionize cancer treatment."
Jain looks forward to meeting the community and welcomes interested people to contact him and get involved with the genomics institute.

Comic Store Heroes
.News, Photos
Amber Love 13-JULY-2012 I've been getting a lot of emails lately from friends asking if I knew I was in the commercial for NatGeo's new reality show Comic Store Heroes. Yes. I know. Here's the whole story from my point of view.
The project began almost two years ago. For at least a year, Parthenon Entertainment crew followed me and several other people from comics to see our fandom lives and our regular lives. I was flattered at first. Then after a while of making arrangements to meet up with the crew and producers, I began to feel really inconvenienced.
First, we had originally done a bunch of filming with me dressed as Wonder Woman. The shoot went very well. They said everything was great and that I came across lovely on camera. Then a couple months later I was asked to reshoot the entire day dressed as someone else because they didn't have legal clearance from DC Comics to show Wonder Woman. This was straw number one. I don't need clearance from DC to cosplay as Wonder Woman at comic con so why couldn't I do it? She's one of my signature characters and a major part of my work for Comic Fusion and SAFE in Hunterdon. Now I was being asked to change that.
Reshooting equals inconvenience. I live out in northwestern New Jersey which is farmland in between Wal-Marts. It's the middle of nowhere. I don't go to New York City every weekend; in fact, I go once or twice a year. I don't have access to mass transit that runs more than once a day for some commuters. I was invited to Midtown Comics "Not at SDCC" party where a lot of costumed fans gathered for artist signings, contests, and socializing. It was over 100 degrees that particular day.
That was last summer when I had thrown out my back. An "old person's" injury caused by getting out of bed. I'm a freelance model ergo no insurance. When I'm lucky, very lucky, someone will toss me a vicodin. Instead, there are a lot of days when I'm just in pain. This was when a lot of the filming was taking place including New York Comic Con 2011. I was miserable. Walking around in superhero boots and sucked into layers of Spanx and spandex were not things I wanted to do at that time. My injury, my depression and my lack of healthcare have contributed to me gaining a lot of weight – a bit each month so every time there had to be filming, I was terrified that I'd look awful, not fit in my costumes, and when it airs I'd have to deal with the same troll remarks that I get on YouTube now about how fat I am. Filming again and again proportionally added stress and self-loathing.
Parthenon came to Comic Fusion for one of our events there and filmed how our comics community does charity work (our Superhero Weekend where I'm always Wonder Woman). They also went to one of my modeling jobs where they shot footage of me figure modeling (aka, nude modeling). They came to my house, interviewed me, Ashley and my parents. We even went to a local tavern to film more to show things fans do on their time off. The thing is I hardly go out ever because of my current financial situation. So my "time off" is sitting in bed watching my DVD collection but that doesn't make for interesting television.
SCREENSHOT FROM TRAILER
The film staff was very nice. They were encouraging every step of the way. Yet I'm not sure if I was completely duped by this. I was under the impression this project was a documentary about comic fans that spend their time in costume and showing other areas of their lives. Discovery Channel rejected it. NatGeo picked it up but only if changes were made. The changes meant gutting the whole thing and making it a reality show out of Midtown Comics where the staff goes on hunts for rare comics and collectibles.
Hmmm. Sounds a lot like Kevin Smith's Comic Book Men, a show that treated my friends so badly I refuse to watch it. Okay, so even if it's the same premise, the people are different. I really like all the folks from Midtown. I was part of the Geek Girls' Sleepover which they graciously hosted for us. The Midtown stores are clean and very organized. I hope I'm making it clear that I don't have a problem with them.
Now if I were to pursue an acting career, it would be part of the process to learn to accept rejection at auditions, flat out insults about my looks or performance, and get a rough experience in developing a tougher skin. I don't do that. I'm not an actor. I love being on camera in a talk show host role or as a journalist. I'm not into regurgitating words other people write and that's what was happening.
At NYCC2011, I was being coached to say that it was the most exciting part of my life, best thing about comics, and that I loved being there. Remember how I was in pain? I wouldn't say what they wanted. I wouldn't be anything less than truthful. NYCC is NOT my favorite show. My favorite shows are smaller where I get a real chance to connect to people not walk miles around a con floor and stand in lines. I prefer Baltimore Comic Con and Wild Pig/CGS Supershow but the producers and camera crew couldn't make it to Baltimore. That's my speed. I love NYCC for one reason: it's the only place I get to see certain people and publishers because they don't go to smaller shows.
One day I saw Facebook posts by a friend who works at Midtown Comics that there was a trailer out for a new show Comic Store Heroes and he was in it. I sent off one email to the producer to see if this was the same project I had been part of. I got no response. I sent off another email to someone else on the crew and got a response explaining that my entire part has been cut from the pilot because the network, despite "really loving my story and character" wanted to go in another direction.
Here's one of my bones of contention: I'm not "a character." I'm a person. This was my life they were filming. If I had auditioned to play a "part" and memorized a script and gotten an agent, then I'd be playing "a character."
I shared very personal parts of my life. My divorces, breakups, my severe depression, my difficult struggles to be healthy with my weight, and those are things that I do not easily trust with people who may edit it to misrepresent who I am. I think production companies are looking for the cheapest way possible to compete with each other. To do that, they come up with fake "reality" TV where people don't get paid as an actor would but are expected to be "characters" not themselves. An actor – even an extra – would get paid per union regulations. They would get IMDB listings. They would get agents. (etc. etc. etc.)
I know Jill Pantozzi has been interviewed about her role in the show. She also interviewed Thor from Midtown about his experience. There's a shot of Chris Notarile being interviewed on camera. As far as I know there's less than three seconds of me at the Midtown "Not at SDCC" party and that's all I know of my part thus far. It's on at 8pm tonight on NatGeo. I plan to watch while enjoying a a very strong lemon martini.

Take a salmon break and try out cedar plank trout for a fresh-tasting summer meal packed with mood boosting omega-3's and served with a zesty guacamole.
Fatty trout soaks up delicious flavors from the cedar plank and smokiness from the grill. Guacamole spiked with Asian flavors from ginger, lime, mint and cilantro adds a burst of fresh flavor and creaminess. And I'm pretty proud of the lemon glazed roasted radishes with pea shoots I came up with on a whim.
The omega-3's packed in this dish is a good mood food! There's probably no nutrient more intensely studied for it's role in brain health than omega 3 fats. If I had to name a number one food for mood, without a doubt it would be omega 3 rich fatty fish, like wild trout.
Since WWII, the rate of depression has increased 20-fold. Hmm, isn't that about the time real foods took a back seat to margarine, Swanson frozen meals, and cheez whiz. Coincidence? I think not. When processed foods went mainstream, intake of omega-3 fat declined dramatically.
Omega-3's in fatty fish affects the brain in many ways. All cell membranes are made of fat, but the only polyunsaturated fats the cell membranes in the brain can use are DHA (a type of omega 3) and arachadonic acid. The DHA fats create a more fluid cell membrane, improving brain functioning. Omega 3 fats also reduce inflammation in the brain and increase brain volume.
While I love salmon, the go-to choice for omega-3 fats, I actually prefer trout, which is semi-local (North Carolina) to us. The taste is pretty similar to salmon, so feel free to swap out wild Alaskan salmon if that's easier to find. If you want to keep things local, my gulf coast friends could easily use shrimp!

I actually took a long time to get over this. I think emotionally I was really knocked for six at this setback and for the next three or four months really I functioned certainly, I was off sick from work but I did housework, I went shopping you know, as usual. But I'd certainly lost something, I'd certainly lost my umph, which we couldn't even find under the settee, we looked. My motivation and you know, I think I was just a bit down really and you know, just wondered if it is worth carrying on really like this. And I sort of sat and ate and fiddled around and gained weight and felt generally miserable. But thankfully, after Christmas I actually found my umph again somewhere, it sort of came back and my motivation came back but I actually felt well again, I think. I actually felt better than I'd probably felt for the last 3 years, which is very interesting.

The supply of Levoxyl, one of the brands of the thyroid hormone levothyroxine, has recently been in the news. The pharmaceutical company Pfizer reports that it has a backorder for all strengths of Levoxyl at this time. Pfizer is working closely with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to address this situation. It will resume shipments of Levoxyl as soon as possible.


Drive west down Lancaster Avenue through Philadelphia's "Main Line" and you'll pass picturesque towns fit for movie backdrops. But turn east, and you'll soon find yourself in front of a former house of horrors, the truth of which some want to censor from ever hitting the screen, big or small.
Abortionist Kermit Gosnell's clinic no longer hears the cries of full-term, born-alive babies being brutally murdered or the silent screams of thousands of the unborn innocent, but one team of filmmakers wants to make sure America never forgets. Not surprisingly, the team is facing an uphill battle.
An independent filmmaker has set out to tell the story of "America's biggest serial killer … and the media cover-up," producing a drama that will be based both on Gosnell's trial and on the grand jury report. The filmmakers – husband and wife Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney, along with Magdalena Segieda – are not new to tackling controversial topics. Their earlier credits include "FrackNation," which dealt with hydraulic fracturing, and "Not Evil Just Wrong," which addressed global warming.
So, the fact that they've set out to highlight the evil of the man who "killed more people than Gary Ridgeway, John Wayne Gacey, The Zodiac Killer and Ted Bundy combined" isn't necessarily surprising.
The trial, in which witnesses described baby abortion survivors "swimming" in toilets "trying to get out," attracted merely 12 – 15 reporters. Only after 56 days, multiple letters from members of the House of Representatives and a public outcry from conservative groups, did all three broadcast networks report on Gosnell.
But the cover-up didn't end with the trial. And plans for the film have proven that the cover-up agenda is still strong.
In reality, it's not that the truth is too gruesome; it's simply that it's too true. Indeed, the only truth you have to hide is the truth you're afraid of. And apparently, Kickstarter is as afraid as the mainstream media of the horrific reality of the abortion industry. Unable to argue in light of that reality, they simply try to keep the reality in the dark.
Not dissuaded, McAleer and his team are pressing on and have turned to Indiegogo.com to raise support for the film. They've set an ambitious goal of $2.1 million, the sum of which must be raised within the next 42 days or Indiegogo returns all of the funds ("all or nothing" fundraising is not an unusual practice for crowdfunding sites).
In addition to requesting donations, the site is also asking people to share the link – www.gosnellmovie.com — in order to ask others to support the film.
The babies slaughtered by Gosnell had their individual stories cut short and their collective story largely ignored. The Gosnell movie, along with the documentary series 3801 Lancaster Film Project, is making sure the truth of Gosnell's house of horrors and the subsequent media cover up is no longer held hostage by those whose interests lies best serve.

I�m The Emcee For The National Economic Forum � Amissah-Arthur
Vice-President, Mr Kwesi Amissah-Arthur
The conference hall of Royal Senchi Hotel at Akosombo, where the National Economic Forum (NEF) is being held, erupted into laughter when the Vice-President, Mr Kwesi Amissah-Arthur, announced that he was the Master of Ceremony (emcee) for the forum.
The Vice-President said this as he welcomed eminent economists, policy makers, business leaders, representatives of traders associations, development and social partners and members of academia to the four-day forum, which is being held on the theme, �Changing the narrative: building a national consensus for economic and social transformation.�
�To be efficient, there is no emcee for this occasion � I�m the emcee�, Mr Amissah-Arthur said, eliciting laughter from the participants.
As Chairman for the NEF, the Vice-President had earlier told the gathering that the forum aimed at turning �the short term challenges that we face into an opportunity for the future � into an opportunity for achieving transformation of economy in the medium term�.
According to him, the idea of NEF developed earlier this year, when President John Mahama met Ghanaian businesses and private sector participants �to discuss how the micro-economic challenges and our plans for resolving them were impacting on their business�.
Mr Amissah-Arthur said: �We probed them about what government could do to support their operations and how the private sector could create jobs for young Ghanaians.
�These were private sector operators, overwhelmingly Ghanaian, who addressed their problems in a national context.
�It became obvious that a general conversation � and not just a dialogue � was needed, and would benefit from the inclusion of the social partners, of political organisations of traditional authorities, religious leaders in all facets of the Ghanaian society.�
Addressing concerns by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) that position papers had not been made available to the NEF participants, the Vice-President said the move was deliberate, in order not to impose the views of government on the forum.
He explained that a concept paper had circulated for discussion at the forum.
Mr Amissah-Arthur added that the short-term measures to restore fiscal balance - which were first unveiled by Finance Minister Mr Seth Terkper on April 1, 2014 - had been further "developed and refined to address the longer-term opportunities for the economy".
�At the request of the President we have circulated the latest version of this home-grown plan to the group of chairpersons and facilitators for this meeting,� he said.
Mr Amissah-Arthur stressed that, whereas the short-term measures had been developed and implemented, the government was determined to ensure that they did not affect considerations for the economy�s long-term prospects.

BRUCE IRVING WATSON v THE STATE
SUPREME COURT OF ZIMBABWE
CHEDA JA, MALABA JA & CHEDA AJA
BULAWAYO, APRIL 3, 2006
P Dube, for the applicant
T Mkwananzi, for the respondent
CHEDA AJA: This is an application for a permanent stay of prosecution or proceedings against the applicant in terms of s 24(2) of the Constitution of Zimbabwe.
The brief facts of this case are that on 9 August 1994 the applicant, while driving a Toyota Hilux motor vehicle registration no. 571-878F, along the Ngundu-Chiredzi Road negligently caused the death of one Tapiwa Gukutu. He was thus charged with culpable homicide.
After the accident, the witnesses' statements were recorded, a sketch plan was drawn and a warned and cautioned statement was recorded from the applicant. The matter was then treated as a sudden death and the docket was closed.
The applicant was placed on remand but later placed off remand. He was, however, re-summonsed to appear in court on 12 December 2004, wherein he was remanded to appear in court on 6 April 2005. It is on that date that he applied for the matter to be referred to this Court, on the grounds that his right to a fair trial within a reasonable time had been infringed or violated. It is the applicant's contention that the delay of ten years and eight months before he was brought to trial is excessive and unreasonable.
Indeed, there has been a delay of almost eleven years in bringing the applicant to trial. A delay of any length requires an explanation and such an explanation must be a reasonable one. Mr Mkwananzi, for the respondent, in his submissions conceded that the delay was unreasonably long and the reason given by the Attorney-General's Office, namely that the public prosecutor handling the matter died, is not adequate. The further reason for the delay is that there was a communication breakdown between the State and the applicant's legal practitioners.
This, too, is not a reasonable excuse. The concession by the respondent that there was an inordinate delay by the State in bringing the applicant to trial is well-founded and is therefore proper.
The right to a fair hearing within a reasonable time is enshrined in the Constitution. Section 18(2) of the Constitution states:
"(2) If any person is charged with a criminal offence, then, unless the charge is withdrawn, the case shall be afforded a fair hearing within a reasonable time by an impartial court established by law."
The definition of "a reasonable time" is not defined in the Constitution. Therefore, the question of a reasonable time is determined by the circumstances of each case.
In In re Mlambo 1991 (2) ZLR 339 (S), where there was a delay of four years eleven months, it was held that the said delay was very long, giving rise to a strong presumption of prejudice to the applicant. (See also S v Tau 1997 (1) ZLR 93).
In S v Nhando and Ors 2001 (2) ZLR 84 (S), CHIDYAUSIKU ACJ (as he then was) clearly laid down the determining factors which should be considered in the allegations of an infringement of s 24(2) of the Constitution for referral to the Supreme Court, namely –
1. the length of the delay;
2. the reasons for the delay;
3. the assertion by the accused of his or her right to a speedy trial; and
4. the prejudice to the accused caused by the delay.
The delay in casu is, by any standards, unreasonably long and cannot be supported by any court of law. (See In re Mlambo supra). The reasons for such delay are so flimsy that they are not worthy of serious consideration.
The applicant has always been available to stand trial and has always notified the authorities of his movements, albeit for ten years.
The delay has no doubt, in my view, resulted in anxiety and serious concern to him, which was not necessary at all.
My judgment, therefore, is that there has been an infringement of the applicant's constitutional right by depriving him of a fair hearing within a reasonable time, which is his right in terms of s 18(2) of the Constitution.
It should be appreciated that the right to a fair trial is a basic human right. When it is violated innocent people face conviction, imprisonment and, at times, execution. If this occurs, the justice system itself loses credibility in the eyes of those who look to it for the smooth delivery of justice. It should be emphasised, therefore, that anyone arrested or detained on a criminal charge should be promptly brought before a competent court of law, which will then exercise its judicial power over him/her and such trial should be held within a reasonable time. This is to ensure that the accused does not suffer unduly prolonged uncertainty and that evidence is not lost in the process.
In casu, in my view, the inordinate delay caused irretrievable prejudice to the applicant in the circumstances.
The applicant's relief in essence is the permanent stay of prosecution or proceedings against him.
In the result the application is allowed and the following order is made –
"The proceedings under case no. CRB 360/04 Chiredzi be and are hereby permanently stayed."
CHEDA JA: I agree.
MALABA JA: I agree.

Manchester City vs Chelsea preview: Pep Guardiola urges team to approach game as 'final'
Watch Manchester City vs Chelsea live on Sky Sports Premier League on Renault Super Sunday from 3.30pm
Eden Hazard and Bernardo Silva go head to head
Manchester City face a tough test in the title race as Chelsea visit the Etihad on Sunday, live on Sky Sports.
The champions moved back top of the Premier League table with a 2-0 win at Everton on Wednesday, although they have played a game more than their title rivals.
With Liverpool hosting Bournemouth on Saturday and Tottenham facing Leicester in the earlier Renault Super Sunday game, also live on Sky Sports Premier League from 12.30pm, Pep Guardiola's side will be keen to take advantage of any slip-ups to cement their position.
But with fourth-placed Chelsea having already beaten City once this season, there is no walkover assured for his side, live on Sky Sports Premier League from 3.30pm on Sunday.
Guardiola said: "You see the midfield players, the strikers, the best strikers in the world are there.
Highlights from Manchester City's win over Everton in the Premier League
"The midfield players are the best in the world. A good keeper. Experienced defenders. Good organisation defensive, offensive. They know exactly what they want to do.
"I have a lot of respect. The game on Sunday is a final for us. I want to feel that it's an absolute final for us and we need to play in that way."
Maurizio Sarri's Chelsea were the first team to beat Manchester City domestically this season courtesy of a 2-0 win at Stamford Bridge in December.
Maurizio Sarri says Chelsea cannot win the Premier League but are aiming for a top-four finish, before suggesting Manchester City are the best team in Europe.
But Sarri was still keen to talk up Sunday's opponents ahead of the return leg, saying: "At the moment Manchester City are the best team in Europe.
"I think we were lucky (in December), because we scored in a very difficult moment of the match. In that match we defended really very well because they had only three goal opportunities, no more.
Highlights from Chelsea's 5-0 win over Huddersfield in the Premier League
"It's not easy against Man City to give them only three, four opportunities. At home, I think they've scored 43 goals in 13 matches. More than three on average. We need to defend really very well."
Manchester City are still without defenders Benjamin Mendy and Vincent Kompany for the visit of Chelsea.
Left-back Mendy, who has missed the last four games, is being managed carefully as he returns from knee surgery and captain Kompany is still troubled by a muscular problem.
Goalkeeper Claudio Bravo (Achilles) is still out long term but City have no fresh injury concerns.
Antonio Rudiger could return for Chelsea
Antonio Rudiger could return to Chelsea's starting line-up at Manchester City.
Defender Rudiger was not risked in last week's 5-0 win over Huddersfield due to a knock, so Andreas Christensen deputised. The Denmark defender is likely to make way.
Callum Hudson-Odoi has been ill, so may not even be among the substitutes.
Opta stats
Man City have lost three of their last five Premier League matches against Chelsea (W2), scoring just four goals and never more than once in this run.
Chelsea have won on just two of their last nine visits to the Etihad in the Premier League (D1 L6), winning 1-0 in February 2014 and 3-1 in December 2016.
Man City boss Pep Guardiola has lost more league games against Chelsea than he has versus any other team in his managerial career (3).
Man City striker Sergio Aguero has scored five goals in his last five Premier League appearances versus Chelsea, including netting a hat-trick in April 2016.
Chelsea's Eden Hazard has had a hand in five goals in his last five games against Man City in the Premier League (3 goals, 2 assists), with the Belgian assisting both of the Blues' goals in the reverse fixture this term.
Sergio Aguero has scored 11 goals in 11 home Premier League games for Manchester City this season, including two hat-tricks. He's the highest scoring home player in the competition so far this season.
50% of N'Golo Kante's Premier League assists for Chelsea this season have been for Gonzalo Higuain (2/4), despite the pair playing just 148 minutes together.
Merson's predictions
I think City will win this as I just do not see how Chelsea defensively can keep them quiet on their ground and the way they pass and move it. Marcos Alonso plays as a No 10 and will be bombing forward, while David Luiz will either be a 9/10, or a 3/10! I would be shocked if Chelsea got anything from this game.
However, despite being top of the league, City are still vulnerable, they are not like they were last season. You could see that against Arsenal last weekend as when they equalised, they were comfortable and looked the better team, but they just did not have enough.
Premier League Fixtures
Chelsea have got more than Arsenal and it will be a hard game for City, but I just think that defensively, Chelsea can't be relied upon. They let in four at Bournemouth recently and if they fall behind, I just do not see them coming back, they do not have that in them.

Library Research Scholars and Adobe Scholars
The Library Research Scholars Program, inaugurated in 2015, offers University of Miami undergraduate students a unique, librarian faculty-mentored learning experience involving a deep and active engagement with the University of Miami Libraries' research collections and service programs. A signature feature of the new Learning Commons, the program gives undergraduate students an opportunity to build upon their own interests, develop transferable skills, and create an intellectual product that is shareable with others. The program is jointly sponsored by the Senior Vice Provost and Dean of Undergraduate Education and the Dean of the Libraries.
2021-2022 Library Research Scholars & Adobe Scholars
2019-2020 Library Research Scholars and Adobe Scholars
2017-2018 Library Research Scholars
The Adobe Library Research Scholars Program, inaugurated in 2018, builds on the success of the existing program. Thanks to a generous endowment provided by Adobe Systems Inc., two undergraduate students will be selected each year to serve as Adobe Scholars. The award-winning students will participate actively in the existing program, receive specialized training from experts associated with the Creative Studio, create an audiovisual and/or multimedia intellectual project, and serve as creative consultants to help other UM students maximize the potential of Adobe Creative Cloud and other related tools and software.
Each student accepted into either the Library Research Scholars Program or associated Adobe Library Research Scholars Program will participate in a year-long, four-part program:
Orientation: Students will take part in a focused orientation program, meeting with key library faculty and staff in order to understand the nature of the organization's work. The program will include introductions to many library departments, including Learning and Research Services, Special Collections, University Archives, Cuban Heritage Collection, Digital Library, Music Library, Architecture Research Center (ARC), and more. Adobe Scholars will receive specialized training in the Creative Studio and its offerings.
Mentorship and Work Experience: All students will be matched with a librarian faculty member, who will serve as a mentor and supervisor. The programs require 5-10 hours of dedicated time per week in the University of Miami Libraries during the fall and spring semesters. This time includes a weekly cohort session that all Library Research Scholars, including Adobe Scholars, will attend.
Deliverable: In consultation with a librarian faculty mentor, each student will develop a project that results in an intellectual product. The focus of the project could be any topic of interest to the Library Research Scholar and related to Library collections and services in some way. Adobe Scholars will create an audiovisual and/or multimedia intellectual project. For other Library Research Scholars, the range of products is broader, including analog projects, such as a scholarly paper or written creative work. Library Research and Adobe Scholars will also deposit their final project proposals and annotated bibliographies into the Scholarly Repository (Scholarship@Miami).
Recognition Event: At the conclusion of the academic year, a capstone event will be hosted at Richter Library in which each Library Research Scholar and Adobe Scholar will describe their experience and project. The families and friends of the Scholars will be invited, along with UM faculty, administrators and others.
Any undergraduate student at the University of Miami is welcome to apply to become either a Library Research Scholar or Adobe Scholar. For Adobe Scholars, proficiency in one or more Adobe applications, preferably PhotoShop, InDesign, Premiere, Illustrator, or Dreamweaver, is suggested, but not required. The program requires 5-10 hours of dedicated time per week in the University of Miami Libraries during the fall and spring semesters. The commitment includes a weekly cohort session. Scholars will be paid hourly (5-10 hours per week) for the fall and spring semesters of the academic year.
Project themes: Project proposals on any topic are welcome. Six fellowships will be awarded in 2020-21. The Library Research & Adobe Scholars program strives to support at least one project each year that draws on resources available in the Cuban Heritage Collection and at least one project that that draws on resources in the Camner Family Music Collection. The remainder of the fellowships will be awarded for open topics.
The application process includes completion of an online questionnaire and submission of a resume. Following a review of applications, finalists are invited to interview, and awardees are then selected. During the interview process, the feasibility of project ideas will be explored for appropriate matches with potential library faculty mentors.
During the 2020-2021 academic year, the University of Miami Libraries will select three Library Research Scholars and two Adobe Scholars.
Applications are now being accepted for the 2021/2022 cohort. The deadline to submit your online application is March 15, 2021.
Please contact Ava Brillat, and Lauren Fralinger for more information.

Shannon Briggs in London and targets Haye, Fury and Joshua
by Code Jones - 16th March 2016 30th June 2018 0
Shannon Briggs is in London and hopes to secure a showdowns with Haye, Fury and Joshua
American boxer Shannon Briggs (59-6-1, 52 KOs) has hit the streets of London in his quest to find and challenge Britain's elite heavyweight boxers.
The last time we saw Briggs launch a campaign to secure a top-level fight was when he was pursing a fight against Wladimir Klitschko, up until his lost his titles to Tyson Fury, one of the few fighters Shannon Briggs is now targeting.
Briggs, 44, is renowned for his gate-crashing antics against numerous fighters in the past, none more so than Wladimir Klitschko in recent times, and is now focusing his attention on securing a UK-based opponent this year.
The former WBO heavyweight champion intends locate and challenge David Haye, Tyson Fury, and Anthony Joshua.
David Haye has a fight scheduled for May 21, but an opponent has yet to announced and Briggs may try to position himself in place to face Haye, another former heavyweight champion.
The 44-year-old who once beat the past his best great George Foreman and also gave Lennox Lewis a stern test.
He has made it no secret that he wants a big fight with Britain's David Haye.
'The Cannon' who is renowned for his gate-crashing antics has been walking the streets of London hoping to find the Bermondsey fighter.
You thought I was playing. I'm not. #LETSGOCHAMP #LETSGOCHAMP #LETSGOCHAMP
A video posted by Shannon Briggs (@cannon_briggs) on Mar 15, 2016 at 10:22am PDT
Since returning from a four-year hiatus in April 2014, Briggs has tried and failed to secure a big fight against any top 10 ranked opponent. Shannon Briggs might have won his last eight fights, all but one of them by KO, but all of his opponents wasn't ranked.
Shannon Briggs last fight was back in Sept 2015 against Michael Marrone. He has been inactive since and he needs to fight soon. He has been out of the ring for quite a while and the American will be hoping that he can get a big money fight against one of the big three British heavyweights.
"I've come to take over, to meet the people, to get out there and shake hands, kiss babies, walk old ladies across the street," Briggs told Sky Sports.
Asked about a clash with Haye, he said: "I'm looking for him right now, I've been everywhere. I've been everywhere looking for him.
But the New Yorker has also called out for fights with WBO and WBA 'super' champion Fury and world title challenger Joshua.
"I'm looking for you. I'm looking for Fury, I'm looking for Joshua, I'm looking for everybody. I'm a butcher champ, I don't care what I eat, I don't care what I cut, I just want to get cutting.
"Anybody in Britain, the big fights. I'm here for the big fights. I don't care about the little fights any more"
The 44-year-old has no plans to return to American anytime soon, he wants to take on all comers that the UK has to offer.
READ: Fury vs. Schwarz Preview - Tale of the Tape and Prediction
"Whoever the British people want me to fight. The people of the United Kingdom, whoever they want me to fight. Fury, Joshua, Haye, those are the big names, I'm here for the big boys.
"I bought a one-way ticket, I'm not leaving. I might just stay here for a couple of years and just knock out people."
Anthony Joshua faces Charles Martin at the O2 on April 9th for the IBF heavyweight title, so any plans to face him will have to be put on hold until after that bout.
Shannon Briggs believes his fellow American will provide a stern test for the unbeaten 26-year-old Londoner.
"He's kind of young, a little green, but that should be a tough fight against Martin," said Briggs.
"Martin is no pushover, it's a big fight for him as well, coming over here.
"But I'm used to that. I've been in big fights all my life and that's what I came here for."
Fury enjoys verbal battle with any of his challengers and a fight against Briggs would have the mother of all press conferences.
"It would be the biggest press conference ever in the history of boxing. He can't out-talk me and he cannot out-fight me."
David Haye will likely go for a less dangerous opponent than Shannon Briggs. The American still has a bit of zip in his right hand and it's a risk I don't think Haye would like to take in his 2nd fight since returning to the ring.
Shannon Briggs had earlier tweeted:
Goon. I'm at #DavidHaye gym looking for Lil Davey ??? He inside, I heard him say wait wait mate… https://t.co/42VFyxO9mc
— Shannon Briggs (@TheCannonBriggs) March 16, 2016
Time will tell whether he manages to secure a showdown with either of the British heavyweights, if he doesn't, it will be interesting watching him try!

" document.write(adsrc) } catch (err) { console.log (err.message) } } Prison threat lifted in corporate killing law
Prison threat lifted in corporate killing law
Individual managers won't be held liable in cases tried under the new corporate killing law, according to its latest incarnation.
The long-delayed corporate manslaughter bill, which finally got a Commons first reading on Friday, will instead hold the corporation responsible if a death occurs as the result of "gross negligence" - so the only possible punishment is a fine.
In cases tried under the new law, the prosecution must prove that mismanagement by "senior managers" is to blame for the fatality. Currently they have to pin a corporate manslaughter charge on an individual identified as a "controlling mind". The difficulty in achieving that led to calls for the new law.
Businesses and trade unions are broadly supportive of the new bill, which has been on the cards since it was first formally proposed in 2000.
"So far the Government has taken a sensible approach and rightly continues to focus on collective responsibility and company liability rather than trying to hold one person accountable for a corporate failure," said CBI deputy director-general John Cridland.
Brendan Barber, TUC general secretary, said: "This bill has been a long time coming. We will study the detail, but hope it will make it easier to bring prosecutions against firms whose negligence has contributed to the death of employees or members of the public."
The first reading is the official launch of a bill through parliament and follows the publishing of the Government draft back in 2005. The first time parliament get to seriously debate the bill will come at its second reading in October, followed by changes in committee, a third reading and a trip to Lords.
Unions and business organisations are lobbying for changes along that way. "The other principle issue is the need for clarity in establishing whether or not a company has behaved in a grossly negligent manner. Much work will have to be done to ensure the final shape of the legislation gets the legal detail right." said the CBI's Cridland.
The TUC wants individuals included in prosecution. "We urge the Government to look at the issue of placing specific legal health and safety duties on directors of companies either through this Bill or separately," said Barber.
