Second Circuit Decisions in Glatt and Wang Likely Preserve Essential Internship Opportunities
By: E. Katherine Hajjar
On July 2, 2015, in Glatt v. Fox Searchlight Pictures and Wang v. The Hearst Corporation, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals addressed when unpaid interns are "employees" entitled to compensation under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and New York Labor Law (NYLL). This was a question of first impression for the Second Circuit. The plaintiff interns in Glatt argued that whenever an employer receives an immediate benefit from an intern's efforts the intern is functioning as an employee. The U.S. Department of Labor, as amicus curiae in support of the plaintiffs, asserted that its exhaustive six factor test derived from Walling v. Portland Terminal, a nearly seventy year old Supreme Court case about prospective railroad brakemen, was the appropriate standard to use to assess whether an intern is an employee. The defendant employers urged the Second Circuit to consider an approach in which an intern is only an employee when the "primary beneficiary" of the internship is the employer rather than the intern. In an amicus brief in support of neither party, but submitted on behalf of the American Council on Education and five other organizations representing the collective interests of higher education institutions, Bond attorneys argued that the Department of Labor's rigid six factor test is inappropriate in the intern context. The amici asked the Court to recognize the role that institutions of higher education play in assessing the value of an internship experience and adopt an analysis that focused on the "primary beneficiary" of the internship. A nuanced approach would, according to the amici, both preserve essential experiential learning opportunities and identify those internships that are exploitative. Institutions of higher education have long understood that real-world experiences offered by internships, combined with classroom instruction, best prepare students to become productive members of the workforce. Many colleges and universities integrate internships into their curriculum, also recognizing that competitive job applicants are those who have not just spent four years in the bubble of academia, but can also cite real-world experience. The amici, concerned with preserving as many legitimate internship experiences as possible, further pointed out that student-interns, upon their return to campus, often share their varied experiences in the classroom to the benefit of their peers as well as the institution, which becomes a more vibrant center for learning because of the experiences of its students. In Glatt and Wang the higher education community cautioned against an outcome that would unduly pressure employers to end unpaid internship programs because of concerns about FLSA and NYLL liability. The Second Circuit ultimately rejected the Department of Labor's rigid six factor test and instead created a multi-factored, non-exhaustive set of considerations that while consistent with the spirit of Portland Terminal focuses on the "primary beneficiary" of the intern-employer relationship. The Second Circuit's non-exhaustive set of considerations as articulated in Glatt are:
The extent to which the intern and the employer clearly understand that there is no expectation of compensation. Any promise of compensation, express or implied, suggests that the intern is an employee—and vice versa;
The extent to which the internship provides training that would be similar to that which would be given in an educational environment, including the clinical and other hands?on training provided by educational institution;
The extent to which the internship is tied to the intern's formal education program by integrated coursework or the receipt of academic credit;
The extent to which the internship accommodates the intern's academic commitments by corresponding to the academic calendar;
The extent to which the internship's duration is limited to the period in which the internship provides the intern with beneficial learning;
The extent to which the intern's work complements, rather than displaces, the work of paid employees while providing significant educational benefits to the intern;
The extent to which the intern and the employer understand that the internship is conducted without entitlement to a paid job at the conclusion of the internship.
The Second Circuit, in these cases, recognized the importance of preserving experiential learning opportunities. Its non-exhaustive set of factors outlined in Glatt is a compromise that will help achieve two important goals of the higher education community: protecting interns from exploitative practices and preserving essential hands-on learning opportunities. For more on Wang and Glatt see Bond's July 7, 2015 post here.

As soon as possible, contact the company carrying your insurance to report the loss. Keep a record of repair costs and retain receipts for any expenditures. If the loss involves theft or vandalism, notify the police immediately.
Many homeowners' policies don't provide coverage for damage to trees caused by wind. But if a tree falls and damages insured property such as a house or a fence, the damage is almost always covered.
Estimates. Get at least two, preferably three repair estimates for the adjuster to review.
Most homeowners' policies provide coverage for living expenses if you can't stay in your home. Most policies will reimburse you for "reasonable expenses" over and above your normal living costs (such as lodging, for example, since it's over and above your mortgage or rent payment) if your home is uninhabitable as a result of a covered peril and you must temporarily relocate. But most policies will reimburse you only for those food expenses over and above what you would normally pay for food.
Power was out for a few days and the food in my refrigerator and freezer was spoiled. Is the replacement cost covered?
Most residential policies have a "power failure" exclusion and don't cover food spoilage that results from power outages.
If the check is for an amount that's lower than you expected, it's usually because of policy terms that require settlement on an actual cash basis, to be followed by a separate payment for replacement costs when repairs or replacement are completed. Check with Sandy Spring Insurance or with your insurance company.

More Troops Needed in Afghanistan?
The Commander of Regional Command South says otherwise:
"A lot of people talk, 'We need more troops, more troops.' I think it is more about better synchronization between security, development and governance in terms of a comprehensive plan for Afghanistan."
Yeah, but we also need more troops. (see my post from two days ago about where ISAF might go to synchronize)
And speaking of more troops, Kip is trying to still figure out the fuzzy math on this one.
The President promised an extra 1000 troops in Afghanistan. Admiral Mullen says we are going down to 12 month tours ASAP.
The next President will have, at minimum, 140,000 troops in Iraq. Where is this 1000 coming from? And is that 1000 on top of the 3200 Marines we are sending to Afghanistan "temporarily," or not? If not, are we actually talking about a net loss of 2200 US troops at the end of the year?
Beyond that, Kip is still not clear whether the temporary addition of 3200 Marines and several hundred French troops meets the demands by CSTC-A for more advisors (40 additional teams minimum with, one would assume although CSTC-A doesn't always think of these things, concomitant logistical and intelligence support) to make up for a shortfall dating to the Summer of 2007.
Now in response to recent questions about troop levels GEN McNeill and others have equivocated by pointing out the greater importance of the Afghan National Police and Afghan National Army. For instance, COL Klingaman, "Commander" (in quotes because, like all other ARSIC commanders, he doesn't really command anything) of ARSIC West said in a February interview:
Well, the key is, and I think you heard this from General McNeill the other day, the key in counterinsurgency operations is the use of indigenous forces as the force of choice. And in the situation here in Afghanistan, given the great expanse geographically and the relatively low density of coalition forces, we're very reliant ultimately on the development of competent Afghan national security forces. I think General McNeill also talked about Afghan police forces, or police forces generically, as the force of choice in counterinsurgency, because they are local and they know the terrain and the people better than forces from the outside.
So what we're doing here, in CSTC-A and Task Force Phoenix and in ARSIC-West, in developing the Afghan army and the Afghan police, is absolutely critical as we move ahead with a counterinsurgency strategy across Afghanistan.
(Kip laughed at the earlier dodge by Klingaman on whether the Italians and Spanish "get" counterinsurgency--they don't)
As Joe Lieberman pointed out last month, it is going to take a lot more than the current Afghan National Security Forces to win, even if they become effective counterinsurgents:
The biggest problem with the Afghan army is that it is too small, with a targeted end strength of only 80,000 troops. By contrast, the projected end strength of the Iraqi army is over 200,000 -- even though Afghanistan is nearly 50 percent bigger in territory than Iraq and has a larger population....
I hope that President Bush will pledge to support an expansion in the end strength of the Afghan army, ideally as high as 200,000 soldiers -- a bold, new American commitment to Afghanistan to reverse its slide toward insecurity and to reinforce our allies there....
Securing Afghanistan with indigenous forces is ultimately less expensive than doing so with foreign troops. For the cost of a single coalition soldier in Afghanistan, we can support 60 to 70 Afghans in uniform.
Now, Lieberman is right in spirit. But the ANA is a conventionally designed force trained by conventional units. Mission Essential Task Lists for units were essentially pulled directly from those listed for equivalent conventional US Army units. The key, as Colonel Klingaman points out, will be the more local Afghan National Police. To date, the international effort to train the police is well behind the effort to train the Afghan Army. Reasons for this run from an abdication of responsibility on the part of the Germans to a knee jerk decision to directly change militia forces into police (the ill-fated Afghan National Auxiliary Police) to a decision by CSTC-A to allow police mentors teams to rove over large numbers of districts rather than focusing on the key districts.
Nor has Focused District Development, which focuses on some basic tactical training for the police and (when the planning is done correctly) rank and pay reform but no actual development of the district, resulted in a strategic prioritizing of effort in key districts. The program seems just another band aid on a bleeding artery in the absence of a coherent national strategy that includes governance, economic development, and information operations in addition to security.
If we wish to take the counterinsurgency in Afghanistan seriously, then 82,000 police in a mostly rural country of 30 million is not going to cover it. Consider that New York City alone has almost 40,000 police officers, and you'll begin to understand just how preposterous this number is. Also take into account that the 82,000 includes the Afghan National Civil Order Police (ANCOP), who are not community police, and the number seems even more out of hand.
The main obstacle to a larger police force is money, and Afghanistan, one of the world's poorest countries, will not be able to afford a large police force any time soon. However, American security would benefit much more from a police force trebled in size than a similar increase in either international security forces or the Afghan Army.
Perhaps NATO's second tier could develop an "Equal Burden Fund" to bankroll the effort.

the island of spetses contact us press guest book links tips faq
Beaches on Greek island Spetses are divided into those which are in the town, and those in the outer-lying districts.
To reach the beaches out of town, there are kaikis leaving the Dapia everyday at around 11.30am -12pm, or when they are full, whichever comes first! There is also a reliable bus-service which runs two routes, one leaving from the Town Beach (Agios Mammas) and going east all the way to Agia Paraskevi, and the other leaving from the Posseidonion Hotel on the Dapia which goes west as far as Vrellou Beach.
Both the town beaches and the more distant beaches have good facilities on-hand, and with the larger ones offering tavernas and water sports, making for rest and relaxation from the morning to the night.
There are also some smaller, more secluded and quiet beaches around the island's coast-line, which can be reached by various modes of transport, but by far the best of those are the ones which you may only discover and approach by sea.
College Beach (also known as Kaiki Beach). At the north-west end of town, it is fully equipped, with beds and umbrellas and a bar, plus a wide range of water-sports.
Kounoupitsa, Agios Nikolas and Agios Mammas (also known as Town Beach), are all found within the confines of Spetses town and can be easily reached on foot.
Agia Marina, a well-equipped, much-frequented beach, at the south-eastern edge of the island is situated in a tree-clad bay, and offers water sports, as well as a restaurant and beach-bar.
Agious Anargyrous, also well-equipped and much-frequented, this pebble beach, in a pine-clad bay, offers similar facilities to Agia Marina, as far as food and water-fun are concerned, plus the famed Bekiri's Cave, a natural sight worth seeing.
Agia Paraskevi is close to Anargyri, and also has many visitors taking advantage of the beds and umbrellas. There are pine trees reaching right down the beach, and among them nestle a small, beautiful church, and a taverna.
Kouzounos is on the south-eastern side of Spetses, opposite from Spetsopoula.
Xylokeriza. Organised beach to the south of the island.
Kamares. In a well-hidden bay on the western side of Spetses.
Zogheria. Twin, north-facing bays, with pine trees down to the water's edge and a lovely taverna.
Vrellos, to the north-west, now boasts an exotic beach bar with music for fun among the pines.
Ligoneri also north-west, but smaller and quieter, here an enormous plane tree provides the shade instead of umbrellas.

Down For The Recount
No one can know who won Washington State's gubernatorial race.
EDITOR'S NOTE: This piece appears in the February 14, 2005, issue of National Review.
"Rossi Re-Vote."
That's how they answer the phones these days at the headquarters of Dino Rossi, the Republican who, after one election-night count, one machine recount, one excruciating manual recount, and more than a few electoral oddities, lost the race for governor of Washington State by 129 votes. Rossi, a former state senator, is now in court, contesting the election results and asking that a new vote be held.
There seems little doubt that Rossi deserves to be governor at least as much as Democrat Christine Gregoire, the state's three-term attorney general who was declared the winner and sworn in on January 12. But at this point, after all the counting, nobody claims to know precisely how many votes were cast for each candidate last November. Nobody claims that it is even possible to know that number. The only question now is what to do about it.
About 2.8 million people went to the polls in Washington State on November 2, and what happened after the voting became one of the most vertiginous political roller-coaster rides in recent history. On election night, Rossi was slightly ahead. By the next day, as the votes from heavily Democratic King County, home of Seattle, continued to come in, Gregoire took a lead that grew as large as 16,000 votes. By the morning of November 9, that lead had been cut in half. But at that point, more than 200,000 ballots had not yet been counted. Later that night, results came in from a number of Republican-leaning counties, and Rossi took a lead of about 2,000 votes. The day after that, it stretched to 3,500…

A computer's central processing unit, or CPU, controls the action and data flow in the computer. There are two major manufacturers of computer processors, Intel® and AMD®. For both manufacturers, there are three general lines of processors.
In all cases, a computer's CPU must be compatible with the motherboard, memory, power supply, and any graphics cards. Find out more about building a PC with our guide.
Both manufacturers of CPUs have three lines of processors based on performance, and of course, cost. These lines change names as the companies re-tool their products.
Budget processors are designed to run basic computer tasks efficiently and cost-effectively. These CPUs will easily handle most office programs, web browsing, photo editing, and other general tasks.
Budget processors have about 85% of the performance of a mainstream model. If you are upgrading your computer, a budget processor is more likely to be compatible with an older motherboard and slower memory.
Mainstream, or mid-range, processors can be physically larger and can handle higher-performance tasks such as 3D gaming, video editing, and other multimedia-intense applications.
Mainstream CPUs use more power and could have cores and caches that are not compatible with older motherboards and memory. If you upgrade your entire system, however, you will see a performance boost.
The fastest processors, known as extreme or high-end, are used for gaming, intensive graphics, creating and editing professional videos, and statistical analysis. If you are upgrading an existing computer, pay special attention to the specifications for compatible components. High-end CPUs use more power and require more memory. Read here for more information on gaming specifications.
As all computer technology develops, cutting edge technology is introduced on the highest-end parts, then moves downward. This holds true for processors, as well. The current trend is to introduce more and more cores on each CPU. This causes a performance increase in multitasking environments, for example applications that use threading, such as a web browser. This increase in cores will trickle down to the mid-range and budget processors.
Another technology break-through is integrated memory controllers, which increase system performance by reducing memory latency. Integrated memory controllers are usually compatible with only some types of RAM, however.
The processor you select will depend on your budget and the other components of your system. Be sure to carefully check the compatibility of the CPU with all the other components of your system.

1. Chapter One2. Chapter Two3. Chapter Three4. MY BOOK IS NOW IN STORES!5. The latest News
Wow, it's been so long since I have visited fictionpress!
I wanted to update you all as to my books. Clearly I have not been writing new stories for Fictionpress, and it's because my novels have been occupying so much of my time.
Since my debut novel, Prada & Prejudice, released in 2009, I've had several other books come out—from Penguin, Harlequin and Flux.
Here are my current releases:
2009—PRADA & PREJUDICE, Penguin, in which a teen girl ends up in 1815 where she must deal with an arrogant, totally infuriating earl
2010—DRIVEN, a novella for Harlequin's NASCAR series, about the sole female mechanic in NASCAR falling for a member of a rival team
2010—YOU WISH, Penguin, in which a girls previous 15 birthday wishes all come true, but they MUST STOP, because one of them is for Ben to kiss her—and Ben is her best friend's boyfriend
2011—RIPPLE, Penguin, in which a teenage siren accidently kills the only boy she's ever loved and must now deal with the fallout
2011—BUT I LOVE HIM, flux, writing under the pen-name Amanda Grace, about a girl's year with her abusive boyfriend, told in reverse chronological order
2012—IN TOO DEEP, flux, writing under the pen-name Amanda Grace, in which a girl becomes involved in a dark lie which spirals out of control
August, 2012—DANGEROUS BOY, Penguin, in which a girl falls for her perfect new boyfriend—but he has a sinister twin brother who is harboring some dangerous secrets
As you can see, I've been busy, which is why I haven't been able to update fictionpress. But I just wanted to take the time,a gain, so say with absolute sincerity: THANK YOU. You guys gave me support and encouragement way back in 2003-2005, and I may not have stuck with it without you.
I've left these stories up because they continue to be read, but I recognize that they are not on the same skill level as where I'm at now. I hope you forgive the typos and weak spots.

When Pink Floyd's Giant Inflatable Pig Broke Free
Nick DeRiso
Nick DeRiso Published: December 3, 2013

Whether it was an epic publicity stunt or a genuine mishap remains a topic of debate in some circles. Either way, the cover shoot for 1977's Animals became one of Pink Floyd's signature moments.
Roger Waters and artist Aubrey Powell, co-founder of the art group Hipgnosis, came up with the concept of an inflatable pig floating over Britain's iconic Battersea Power Station. But things didn't go as planned at the Dec. 3, 1976 photo shoot, as the 40-foot balloon broke from its moorings on one of Battersea's southern chimneys, rising directly into the path of planes landing at Heathrow Airport. All flights were grounded, and Powell was arrested, even as police helicopters and the Royal Air Force arrived to chase the pig. It eventually fell to the ground miles way in Kent.
"At 9:30PM, a man rang up," Powell recalled in an interview with Time Out London. "He said, 'Are you the guy looking for a pig? It's scaring my cows to death in my field.' It was front-page news. Pink Floyd couldn't have got better publicity if they tried."
But they still didn't have a cover image. Powell and the band returned to Battersea later, this time with a sharpshooter in tow to take out any errant balloons, but the lighting had changed. (Powell still marvels over "the most incredible, [Joseph Mallord William] Turner-esque sky" they had for the first shoot.) He ended up cutting and pasting an image of the pig onto one of his earlier pictures of the power station. "It's actually a completely faked photograph," Powell later confirmed.
Animals would reach the Top 10 in both the U.S. and the U.K., selling more than four million copies. The pig, which Waters had named Algie, became a concert staple. Meanwhile, Battersea Power Station officials report that a large percentage of visitors to the now-closed facility are still Pink Floyd fans.
"I'd always loved Battersea Power Station, just as a piece of architecture," Waters subsequently told Rolling Stone. "And I thought it had some good symbolic connections with Pink Floyd as it was at that point. One, I thought it was a power station, that's pretty obvious. And two, that it had four legs. If you inverted it, it was like a table. And there were four bits to it, representing the four members of the band."
In 2011, a replica of the original pig floated again between the two iconic chimneys, in celebration of a massive reissue project from the band.

Assembly of Bishops Endorses Alternatives to Women in Crisis Pregnancies
Today, as the annual March For Life is held digitally due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of the United States of America reaffirms the sanctity of life based on the firm conviction that life begins at the moment of conception. All humans, whether in the womb or in the world, are made in the image and likeness of God, possessing God-given beauty and dignity. Therefore, we can never condone the willful and elective taking of a human life.
At the same time, Christ is the only ruler of the world and judge of all. Therefore, rather than ascend His Judgement Seat and condemn those who find themselves contemplating abortion, we care called to minister to all and to provide alternate options. Indeed, many times women feel trapped and even forced to make this heart-wrenching decision due to financial hardship, family or communal rejection, or other difficult life circumstances. When the burden is too heavy, we, the Church, must be there to lift the burden and open the door to other, more perfect solutions. Otherwise, we too are missing the mark.
With this mission, the Assembly of Bishops' Affiliate Ministry Zoe For Life! "affirms the value of all life by helping women in a confidential manner during and after crisis pregnancies." We encourage any woman in need of refuge and support to reach out to Zoe For Life! You remain very much in our paternal concern, and we are ready to help you.

Grudge matches this week. The rematch of last year's final was a bit of a let down but there was a battle of frenemies between Chris vs Scott and a battle of the Commish vs the controversial add to the group (just messing Dermy!) and those 2 matches were the best this week.
Playoff picture in the North only got fuzzier as the South ended up 4-2 against them and five teams still have a chance at a bye. If Dermy had slipped up against Dan, then the Bandits would have been tied at the top but with 1 game in it and a similar run in, it could get quite interesting.
I'll just get this out of the way: I locked up the bye in week 9. My path to Christmas disappointment means I don't care what happens in the next month, I just need all my players to stay - or get - healthy for just 2 weeks (checks Bengals schedule to make sure Burfict can't take anyone out…… phew). Sandslashers and Packers have the edge over the two Oxford teams for the other two playoff places, especially as they have to play against me still!
Three teams thought they were in with a shot for The Buzzsaw but it was destined for one team only: congrats Josh!
Several decisions that had little impact on their results: Cam Meredith went onto the IR on Thursday but that didn't stop Shep from starting him, and to be fair, it only cost him 6.7 points.
If Josh started Allen Robinson instead of Chris Godwin, his score would have been even higher!
Jason started 4 players who scored zero points! Matthews, Nelson, Chark and Garcon.
Jonathan started the wrong Bills receiver, missing out on 19.3 points.
One that did and could have massive implications: If Dan played Antony Miller instead of Cooper, MVS, Duke or Ito, he wouldn't have slipped out of the playoff places and the North would be tied at the top.
You asked for it Scott, and you have it. The clearest winner for this one has to be the season ending ACL tear for Cooper Kupp.
Kupp was WR18 so far on the season, and with AJ Green's status up in the air, that leaves Tyler Boyd and Adam Humphries as the highest scoring available receivers for the Sandslasher's playoff push.
In a week where one match up was decided by 133 points, the closest match up was decided by just 5.7 points.
Dermy was behind going into MNF but even though Barkley had a quiet game by his standards, it was enough to pinch the win and keep him on top of the North. For a team that is usually competing for The Buzzsaw, had blowouts at the start of the season and started 6-0, Dermy must be getting concerned that his team is slowing down at the wrong time.
Dan on the other hand must be wondering [Spoiler alert: he is - Ed] why the likes of Ito Smith, Duke Johnson, OJ Howard, MVS and Tevin Coleman put in their lowest scores for the last few weeks just when he needed them the most.
The top 6 scores this week won their matchups for the first time I can remember so by default, Dan and the Seahawks are the unluckiest losers as they had the 7th highest score of the week.
Interestingly, the margin of victory for the Bandits would have been the 3rd highest score of the week!!!
201 points! That absolutely smashes the league record for highest weekly score and amazingly it could have been 220 points and this award might have to be renamed to the Bandit Buzzsaw going forward. With this score, the Bandits are making a statement to the rest of the North and the league.
The two highest scoring players of the week belonged to two competing teams this week: Mitchell Trubisky outscored Big Ben by 0.2 points to be week 10's highest point scorer and part of a rare occasion that the HPS is on a winning team. Trubisky is actually the QB7 in our league which I was quite surprised about.

Insurer Appeals Evident Partiality Finding That Overturns Arbitration Award
August 2, 2017 January 11, 2018 / CPR Staff
By Ugonna Kanu
A New York federal court has overturned an arbitration award brought against Lloyd's of London underwriters on the ground of evident partiality of one of the tribunal members who failed to disclose his relationship with the respondent, Florida-based Insurance Company of Americas.
ICA has filed an appeal from a decision vacating the award in favor of Lloyd's to the Second U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. ICA claimed that New York U.S. District Court Judge Vernon S. Broderick confused the need for its party arbitrator's "disinterestedness" with the need to be impartial.
ICA filed its brief July 20.
Broderick's decision in Certain Underwriting Members at Lloyd's of London v. Ins. Co. of the Americas, Case No: 1:16-cv-00323 (March 31)(available at http://bit.ly/2uIGkqY), was based on the evidence that the party-appointed arbitrator failed to disclose his relationship with the party that appointed him even after several opportunities were provided for such disclosure.
Broderick found that the "undisclosed relationships are significant enough to demonstrate evident partiality," and vacated the award requiring Lloyd's-represented reinsurance contracts to pay excess claims on two injury cases insured by ICA.
ICA argued that that "the only arbitrator qualification" for its tribunal pick "is that he be disinterested, which . . . means solely [a lack of] financial or other personal stake in the outcome."
ICA also contended that other circuit courts "have found that evident partiality standards either do not apply or are even more relaxed in the case of party appointed arbitrators in tripartite industry arbitrations."
District Court Judge Broderick adopted the evident partiality test set out in Three S Del., Inc. v. DataQuick Info. Sys., Inc., 492 F.3d 520, 530 (4th Cir. 2007(available at http://bit.ly/2vasPRv), to determine this case. The test includes four factors: the extent of the arbitrator's personal interest in the proceedings; how direct the arbitrator's relationship is with the party he was alleged to favor; the connection of the relationship to the arbitrator; "and the proximity in time between the relationship and the arbitration proceeding."
In the case, the arbitrator and the ICA not only share the same building, but also the same suite. ICA's treasurer and secretary, also a director of the company, is additionally the chief financial officer of the arbitrator's company. The arbitrator had a business connection between the ICA president and others whose names were repeatedly mentioned during the arbitration, providing the arbitrator an ample opportunity to disclose, which he didn't.
Finally, when the arbitrator was expressly asked of his business relationship with ICA, he said he had none.
Applying these factors, the federal district court held that the non-disclosure demonstrates evident partiality and is sufficient ground to vacate the award, which the court viewed a nondomestic award under the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards, better known as the New York Convention.
The reasoning, according to the opinion, was that, considering the relationship between the arbitrator and ICA, "a reasonable person would have to conclude that [the] arbitrator who failed to disclose under such circumstances was partial to one side." Applied Indus. Materials Corp. v. Ovalar Makine Ticaret Ve Sanayi, A.S., 492 F.3d 132, 137 (2d Cir. 2007).
The opinion, however, noted that Lucent Techs. Inc v. Tatung Co., 379 F.3d 24, 28, 30 (2d Cir. 2004) held that the court didn't "establish a per se rule requiring vacatur of an award whenever an undisclosed relationship is discovered."
The appeal was filed on April 20. In its July brief asking the Second Circuit to reinstate the award, ICA returns to the distinction between disinterestedness and neutrality.
"The only neutrality requirement was disinterestedness—the lack of personal or financial stake in the outcome," the brief noted, adding: "But the district court did not vacate the award on the ground that the party-appointed arbitrator failed to disclose matters that would require a reasonable person to conclude that the arbitrator had a financial or personal interest in the outcome. It vacated based on relationships that were irrelevant to the disinterestedness requirement."
The ICA brief asking the Second Circuit to consider the case emphasized that "there is no evidence that the arbitrator had a personal or financial interest in the outcome."

Q: Apply a "long touch" event handler on Google Maps With my team we are developing an app using Ionic 2, to help the people to navigate the streets considering accessibility restrictions.
The idea is that the user can touch doing a long press (for example 1 second) in somewhere on the map, and open a modal in order to he can report an issue in that point (for that latitude and longitude).
How can I apply a "long touch" event handler, similar a "press" in Hammer.js, on Google Maps?
Is it possible to get the coordinate where the user touchs in the map?
Thanks!!

A: I dont know whether there is a "Long touch" but we can get the coordinates on the user touch.
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
    position: latLng,
    title: 'Point A',
    map: map,
    draggable: true
});

google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'dragend', function(event){
  console.log('Current Lat: ' + event.latLng.lat() + ' Current Lng: ' + evt.latLng.lng());
});

Hope it helps :)

Wow, that's quick work! Quite a statement of intent. I wish them well. Let's hope they don't find any nasty surprises.

34028 is planned to be running every day until Sunday, with 6695 as the other loco. On Sunday itself 34028 will also be working the 'diesel' diagram in the evening, to give it a bit of a send-off. Its first train of the day will be 10:00 ex-Swanage, and the last one 21:50 from Swanage and 22:30 from Corfe Castle. If someone was dedicated enough to ride behind it all day, they would be able to get in 108 miles of de-tuned Bulleid action; not bad for a 5 mile branch line!
There was plenty of Bulleid action at Swanage yesterday, with Eddystone running right through to the late evening. Southern Locomotives Ltd intend to have '28 back in action in 2017, and have launched an appeal to raise funds for the overhaul. http://www.southern-locomotives.co.uk/34028/34028_Appeal.html

Any ideas on when 31806 is due to be in service
Has 31806 arrived yet, and what is likely to be rostered for next weekend? On the subject of next weekend, just wanted to say that it is a shame that the Autumn steam gala no longer coincides with the Swanage folk festival - the coincidence used give the weekend quite a unique flavour. This year the Steam Gala is just one of many in October and I for one will be travelling north for the East Lancs gala.

Its planned for 30053, 31806 and 34070 to be in traffic next weekend, along with one of the Class 33's. Although it is not billed as a Gala, we are running what has become our 'standard' Gala timetable, albeit with loco changes only taking place at Swanage rather than at both ends.
Please note that all of the above is personal opinion and does not represent any organisation of which I am a member.

Thanks for this. Looking forward to seeing 31806 at its new home.
I must add, this is what is planned at this stage; 31806 being booked to arrive tomorrow.

Yes, and brought down to Swanage this evening with 34028 on its return from the Great Dorset Steam Fair. It was like preparing for a gala, the number of low loaders at Norden this afternoon!

Did 34028 manage to get to the Great Dorset Steam Fair or did the muddy conditions defeat its delivery? There was no sign of it on the Friday, although The Unknown Warrior was there (as it was parked on an area of neat grass, I assume it had arrived before Monday's rain).

On Saturday afternoon Eddystone was at the top end of the site near to Gate 4. It was on a low loader trailer along with some other heavy items which presumably did not make it into the main arena. We passed it as we left on the very late running bus at 5.15. By the way NEVER go to the GDSF by public transport, not only does it not run as scheduled ( we had to wait an hour and a half for a bus back from the site bus stop), it is very expnsive, £11.90 for two return tickets from Blandford (Approx 4 miles) and when you try to complain to Wilts and Dorset about the service they do not reply to left messages. GDSF's response is that the bus service is not our problem, we want people to come by car and what do you expect from a rural bus company.

Not really a Gala, but very Southern.
30053, 31806, 34070, D6515 & 33111 are all going to be in service on Swanage Railway during the Classic Transport Rally, 5th - 7th September.
Each day, the 3 steam locos and one 33, work a 3 train service turn and turn about. I would post a link to the WTT, but it isn't on the Swanage Railway Website, for some reason or another....
Evening services on Friday and Saturday are class 33 hauled.
A member of this forum complained to my employer about me. Has anyone else had this treatment?

In a substantial jump in the development of the Swanage Railway project, and towards fulfilling one of the founding objectives of the Swanage Railway, yesterday the former Network Rail section of the Swanage branch from Bridge 2 (Worgret Farm, 31 chains to the country end from Worgret Junction) to the former Ground Frame at Motala was sold by Network Rail to Dorset County Council. Subsequent to this a new 99-year lease was signed over the whole DCC-owned section of the branch from Bridge 2 to Northbrook Road bridge in Swanage, meaning that the Swanage Railway is now the leaseholder over the whole length of the branch.
While this is a major development, there is much hard work still to do! There is a large amount of infrastructure work needed on the branch in connection with upgrading it ready for the 'trial service' (50 days in year 1, 90 days in year 2) to start. Something in the region of 1,000 sleepers to change, a new Road-Rail Interchange to construct, a level crossing to install at Norden, major embankment work at Furzebrook to name but a few. Signalling-wise, we are gearing up to the introduction of the No Signalman Key Token system between Worgret and Norden (those who have been to Wareham recently will have noticed the token machine cabinets that have sprung up on both platforms), which is due to take place shortly. This is in addition to things like overhaul of the 117 and 121 units, development of staff and maintenance facilities, training of staff; all at the same time as running one of the most intensive heritage railways in the country.
Exciting times!

Top 10 Federal Poverty-Related Policy Changes in 2019

Top 10 Poverty-Related Policy Changes in 2019
By Elle Richards
"In 2019, Canadians re-elected a Liberal government in October's federal electionand have seen policies both enhanced and eroded through changes to governments at all levels. Cities Reducing Poverty works with members and across levels of government to support, advocate and influence these policies that make life better for all Canadians. Here are our highlights and lows for the past year:
Opportunity for All – Canada's First Poverty Reduction Strategywith a vision of a Canada without poverty, releases an update on its year one progress. Key supportive policies on Canada's progress have been enhancements and efforts to increase take-up of the Canada Child Benefit and the Guaranteed Income Supplement. In June, the Poverty Reduction Act becomes law, entrenching ambitious poverty reduction targets and Canada's Official Poverty Line. The act ensures poverty will remain a priority for years to come.
Canada recruits and announces its members of the arms-length National Advisory Council on Poverty to ensure continued accountability to Canadians on poverty reduction. The Advisory Council brings together persons with lived experience, leaders, experts, academics, and practitioners working in the field of poverty reduction to advise the government on its strategy and report on progress toward meeting poverty reduction targets every year. Members include those who are actively part of our Cities Reducing Poverty network.
An update on the Market Basket Measure, Canada's Official Poverty Line, comprehensive review is released. Considerations are underway for updating the components of the basket (food, clothing, transportation, shelter and other necessities), methodology and disposable income concept. Not yet reflective of Northern parts of Canada, work is undergoing to create an adjusted measure that represents the territories. The second review is due in 2020.
Statistics Canada also launches its Dimensions of Poverty Hub: a national online platform including a dashboard of 12 poverty indicators to track progress on deep income poverty as well as indicators of material deprivation, lack of opportunity and resilience.
In July, the National Housing Strategy Act is enacted, strengthening and respecting the National Housing Strategy – A Place to Call Home with a rights-based approach. The strategy has been working to create opportunities and remove barriers for 530, 000 families in housing need, cut chronic homelessness by 50% and change the face of housing in Canada forever.
As part of Canada's Anti-Racism Strategy, the federal government launched its Anti-Racism Action Program to support the implementation of the strategy. Intended to help address barriers to employment, justice and social participation among Indigenous peoples, racialized communities and religious minorities, it makes funding available for projects to address these barriers through the Department of Canadian Heritage.
The Government of Canada and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, the national voice of local governments, announce in August the Green Municipal Fund, the Municipalities for Climate Innovation Program and the Municipal Asset Management Program for communities to reduce their pollution, improve their resiliency to climate change and plan their local infrastructure with more than $2.5 million in investments.
A Food Policy for Canada is released. With a vision that all people have access to a sufficient amount of safe, nutritious and culturally diverse food, it ensures that Canada's food system is resilient and innovative, sustains our environment and supports our economy. The Food Policy will help Canada meet its commitments under the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals and includes a Local Food Infrastructure Fund, a Northern Isolated Community Initiatives Fund and establishing a National School Food Program, as well as the creation of a Canadian Food Policy Advisory Council.
The BC government releases its Poverty Reduction Strategy TogetherBC and $5 million in funding commitments for municipalities across the province to implement local poverty reduction strategies, creating opportunity for alignment across all levels of government.
The re-elected Albertan government introduces sweeping changes to policies and slashes budgets for many of the programs deemed vital for poverty reduction. Though success in child poverty reduction has been achieved, thanks to a combination of federal and provincial child benefits, many families are expected to be negatively impacted with the new consolidated Child and Family Benefit. In addition, funding has been eliminated for the 100 Early Childhood Coalitions in the province designed to make life better for children and families.
In Ontario, the government reverses a number of policy changes to social assistance announced as cuts in 2018, in response to strong community advocacy efforts. These reversals include: the Transition Child Benefit, Ontario Works and the Ontario Disability Program. It has also announced the creation of a Health Spending Account for those on social assistance. A new employment program will be piloted in 2020 in three regions and is planned to be available to all job seekers.

The Remsen Depot
Remsen Development Corporation
Remsen, NY 13438
Future Depot Work
While much has been accomplished at the Depot, there is a lot that is still in the planning stages. Some of these projects include:
FLAGMAN'S SHANTY: The Depot has acquired a rather deteriorated Lackawanna Railroad grade crossing flagman's shanty. It has been restored and is on display at the entrance to the Depot grounds.
CABOOSE: We acquired NYC Caboose 19509 built in 1915. In 2005, the caboose was trucked to the Depot from Deansboro, NY. It was in rather poor condition. The interior was in much better condition than the exterior. We have completed the restoration of the exterior. The siding on the long sides has been replaced. The framing on those sides was replaced as needed while the siding was off. All windows have been either restored or replaced. The cupola had completely disintegrated. It has been completely rebuilt. The platforms and exterior metal work have all been replaced as well as having a new roof installed. The exterior has been painted and lettered. This winter will see the continuation of interior restoration. The caboose will be used as a stationary exhibit at the Depot. Photos of the caboose's trip to the Depot are in the Photo Gallery.
FLAT CAR: We have acquired a 1929 military flat car that was last used by the Lowville & Beaver River Railroad. This car is positioned just north of the caboose. It has been painted and a new deck has been installed. It has a removable "band shell" for summer concerts and other events.
TRACK WORK: We have constructed a1400' runaround track and two storage sidings that total 850 feet . The runaround will be used by the two railroads that use this line: MA&N and the Adirondack Scenic. The storage sidings will be available for use by the above railroads and for any rolling stock acquired by the Depot.
TY GWAITH CREFFT YN REMSEN: We are in the early stages of planning a "new? Depot Street. This area is conceived to include a mix of early 20th century small town America buildings. This village will reflect Remsen?s strong Welsh ties by including many Welsh products as well as Welsh artisans and visiting performers. It will include a number of small shops with artisans and craftspeople demonstrating and selling their products. Some buildings will be for period historic interpretation. The village will also include interior and exterior performance areas. In addition, there will be a restaurant/pub, gallery and workshop space. Click here for more information.
TURNTABLE: Our turntable pit (1903) does not have any of the steel. We continue to look for the bridge for a 71' turntable. Click here for a present picture.

A Ten Question Interview With The Artist… Jonathan Butcher
Why do you write?
My main principle reasons for writing are that I enjoy it, and it helps to keep me focused. Writing poetry is one of the few things that keeps my head on track, and keeps me motivated, and I find that it helps keep any momentum going in other elements of my life as well. I've also had an urge to express myself creatively since being really young, but could never find a medium that suited me, or that I was any good at, and poetry has always been something I don't necessarily struggle with. I've always used reading as a form of escape as well, so it seemed natural to start writing. It's also helps relive boredom, which is always good.
What books do you read?
I used to read novels exclusively for years, but once I discovered poetry and started writing then they got more or less replaced by poetry collections. I will always have a collection by someone on the go, but I can find it hard to relax with a book of poetry, because as soon as I get through five or six pages the ideas start rolling around my head and I end up reaching for my notebook, so I rarely finish one in one sitting. It is nice to go back to novels as well, but I tend to slow down a little when I do. I'm currently reading 'Almost an Equinox'; a collection by London based poet Sarah Maguire, that I'm really enjoying.
I find myself usually inspired by my surroundings, and I think as a poet it's impossible not to be. I was born and have lived in Sheffield all my life, and take a lot of inspiration from that. I have always been drawn to writers who turn their surroundings into these far-fetched and abstracted landscapes, and that has always appealed to me especially as I grew up in a rather mundane part of the city. Due to the amount of time I have lived there, I have also developed a sort of love-hate relationship with it, which I think helps as well. I also, like most people, had somewhat of a lively youth and I draw a lot of inspiration from that as well.
How did you know you wanted to be a writer and when?
I had been writing little things on and off since I was a teenager, but never had the courage to show them to anyone, other than a few close friends, but it was in my mid twenties that I decided I wanted to take writing more seriously. It was around this time that I started reading poetry almost obsessively, and I found I related much more to the structure of a poem than I did a novel. I had always lived in my own head somewhat when I was younger, and found I was able to express myself more confidently as I got a bit older. It was also one of those 'If I don't do it now. I never will' sort of times.
How do you deal with rejection?
When you first start writing and submitting to magazines and journals, it's more or less all rejections for the first year or so, and even after you find your feet, you get just as many rejections as acceptances. It's just part of being a writer as far as I'm concerned, and it genuinely doesn't bother me. It's an important learning curve that you have to embrace, and you'll never progress unless you do. You should never let it discourage you. I can remember years ago, one of the first magazines I ever submitted to was some quarterly print publication, and the editor sent me a rejection including a scathing page long rant about how they hated my writing and added an attachment entitled 'How to be a Poet' (which,incidentally, I never bothered to read). Needless to say, it didn't put me off.
Who are some writers you admire?
William Burroughs, Garcia Lorca, Ezra Pound, Scott Fitzgerald, Sylvia Plath, Charles Bukowski, Frank O'Hara, Kathy Acker, Gregory Corso, Anna Kavan, Philip Larkin, Simon Armatige, and Stephen Spender are some of the writers and poets I would say I admire, and have drawn some kind of influence from. There are also a host of poets on the current underground scene both in the UK and US who I greatly admire and have had the privilege of having some my writing published alongside.
Is writing the only artistic medium you do?
What would be some advice you would give to your younger self?
I would find it excruciatingly difficult to spend more than five minutes with my younger self without wanting to reach for the nearest blunt instrument to knock some sense into him, so it would leave little time to impart any worldly wisdom.
Do you have any advice for other writers?
Read. That would be the most useful piece of advise I could give, especially if your just starting out. You should be reading poetry on a more or less daily basis You have to have a passion for it in the first place, and a poet who doesn't read (and they do exist!) is going to struggle somewhat. Find a style that works for you and start submitting work as soon as your happy with what you're doing, and be realistic about the magazines you are submitting to. One of the biggest causes of you writing being rejected is if it just doesn't fit in the publication you've submitted to. Always respect the editor you're sending to and above all be patient. Stick to your own work ethic and try not to be too influenced by other writers you may know. Carve your own path.
What is your writing process?
I try to write on a daily basis more or less, and during a good period I usually write around three or four rough drafts a day. Once I've got around twenty or thirty, I then sift through them and I might find five or six I'm actually happy with, and that I feel confident sending out to editors. I try to keep editing down to a minimum, as I want to try and retain any energy a poem might have, rather than kill it off trying to make it 'perfect'. I rarely sit down and think 'right, I'll write a poem about this, and then send it to this magazine' I would much rather just keep continually writing around one or two ideas and then see what come out, and that seems to work for me.
Jonathan Butcher is a poet based in Sheffield, England. He has had poetry appear in various print and online publications including: Popshot, The Belleville Park Pages, Ink, Sweat and Tears, Elbow Room, Dead Beats, Gutter Eloquence and others. His second chapbook 'Broken Slates' has been published by Flutter Press.
