Women's soccer wins opener, drops next two
Buffalo State Sports Information
Senior forward Melissa Smith scored a goal in each of Buffalo State's first two games.
Tony Callens, Staff Writer
A new season with new players made their opening slate of games a feeling out process for the Buffalo State women's soccer team this past weekend, as they started the season 1-2.
"There are some new players this year and we are still trying to work out some kinks but we are really starting to jell. Every game we have looked a little better," forward Melissa Smith said.
The week started off on a high note with Buffalo State defeating Elmira 3-0 and dominating control of the ball, outshooting the Eagles 18 to 3.
"Every season is a journey and that was the first step," said head coach Nicholas DeMarsh. "There are some positives, but there is still stuff that we need to work on."
Following the opening win, the Bengals traveled to Farmingdale, NY for the Farmingdale Classic, where they lost to the hosts by a score of 3-1 Saturday. Farmingdale State got off to a hot start when they scored in just the fourth minute, but Buffalo State responded with a 24th minute goal by Smith. The Rams added two goals to put the game out of reach in the second half and clamped the Bengal offense in the half as well, only allowing three shots.
Smith was one of the key additions this offseason, and she has fit in to help the Bengals thus far.
"It was a tough transition at first because it was a whole new environment and level of play, but all the girls were really welcoming and understanding," Smith said.
"It made it easier that I played for Coach Nick in club soccer for three years," Smith said. "He's been very good with helping me get adjusted."
After being outshot 16 to 6, the Bengals needed to refocus for the third game on Sunday.
"I think we're still trying to define the way we want to play," senior defender Kristina Change said. "We have been playing well in the formations, we've been trying, but individual mistakes on the field have cost us our goals against. I think we're comfortable with our personnel and I think we've adapted well with our new players joining us this year."
An aspect of the transition this season has been the implementation of two new formations at the back. In the first two games, the Bengals fielded a team with three defenders at the back to open up the flow of play from last season.
"We're trying the two systems this year and setting up our tactics based on what we're trying to achieve in the game," DeMarsh said. "The first two teams were teams I thought we could press. Other games, we'll try four. It all depends."
As one of the leaders on defense, Change feels good about the new systems.
"We have been playing with the three in the back all season so far. We decided to try something different against Western (Connecticut State) since we lost to Farmingdale the game before so we switched to four in the back," she said. "I think we played really well in both systems but we really need to find a way to finish well."
There was a response after the loss in the final game of the weekend against Western Connecticut State, and it made for a back-and-forth game. The Bengals opened up the scoring in the 40th minute with a goal off a rebound from junior midfielder Catherine Mammoser. The Colonials answered in the second half with a goal in the 65th minute to level the score. Neither team could put the ball in the back of the net, so the game went to overtime.
In overtime, the teams were still in a stalemate and the game went into a second overtime. Finally, in the 105th minute, Western Connecticut State was awarded a free kick from 30 yards out. Midfielder Celia Defoe capitalized to win it for the Colonials.
"The feeling, as a group, was disappointment and frustration," senior forward Meghan Allen said. "But there is a willingness to fight harder as the season goes on."
As Smith stated, the team has improved with each game. In the third game, the Bengals outshot their opposition 13 to 11 in a relatively even affair. Overall, the team improved from their loss against Farmingdale State.
"Obviously, we want to win, but I'd like to play good soccer and I want the girls to have a good experience and enjoy themselves," DeMarsh said. "We always want to go to the playoffs and maybe take that next step past the semifinals as we've been there the past few years."
The Bengals look toward a pair of home tilts against Rochester on Wednesday at 4 p.m. and against Pitt-Bradford at 3 p.m. on Saturday.

Recently, there has been an unfortunate uptick in the number of wage theft lawsuits against call center companies.
All employers are required to pay their employees for time actually worked, including overtime if the employer requires it and time for preparation by employees to do their jobs such as logging into computers systems or putting on and taking off (also called "donning and doffing") of uniforms or safety equipment if necessary to do the job.
Call center, sometimes called "contact center", employees are generally required to log into proprietary computer systems through VPNs or secure websites and connect to phone systems to initiate their work shift.
This can be a quick process, or it may take several minutes, perhaps as much as ten minutes. To be forced to perform an activity that takes ten minutes at the start and end of each shift and each break can add up to a lot of time that goes uncompensated if such log in and off activities are not considered part of the employee's worktime.
Additionally, if a call center employee is working eight hours a day, the extra time spent logging in and off of computer systems could possibly be overtime which should not only be paid on an hourly rate, but at overtime rates.
The Federal Fair Labor Standards Act requires employers to pay employees for time actually worked. Generally, if an employee must perform an activity in the course of his employment (such as putting on a uniform or setting up a computer) that is not for the individual's personal benefit, then the time should be compensated as work time.
The Department of Labor calls time in which an employee is "engaged to wait" (such as a fireman waiting for a fire alarm) is work time even though the worker is not actually performing a key duty of the job. The waiting itself is a necessary part of the job and therefore must be compensated.
Call center employees who are required to engage in activities that are a mandatory part of their jobs are likely due compensation for their time.
Contact the Keogh law firm to get knowledgeable legal advice from experienced attorneys. Lawyers at the Keogh Law Firm understand the rights of hourly workers and can provide advice to hourly workers to ensure that they receive the appropriate compensation for their time.


Newport Beach has agreed to replace sections of damaged sewer lines and improve its regulatory reporting to avoid a possible lawsuit alleging violations of the federal Clean Water Act.
The offer came Wednesday in response to a claim filed in January by California River Watch, an environmental group that said 14 failures of Newport's municipal sewer system between 2013 and 2018 sent a total of at least 6,400 gallons of raw sewage into Newport Bay, Buck Gully Creek, Semeniuk Slough and the open ocean.
The city will repair about 20 cracked and worn segments of sewer lines within 200 feet of surface water, issue additional public notice of spills, beef up its water sampling and reporting to the state and pay $50,000 in attorney fees, said City Attorney Aaron Harp.
City Utilities Director Mark Vukojevic said the repairs will be spot fixes based on images from live video feeds from mobile remote-control cameras lowered into the pipes through manholes.
Those types of fixes generally would be addressed during routine maintenance, but the settlement agreement reprioritizes the patches closest to shore, Vukojevic said. The city typically sets aside about $500,000 per year for planned routine maintenance and an additional $150,000 for other repairs as they crop up.
Newport's wastewater travels to Orange County Sanitation District reclamation and treatment plants in Huntington Beach and Fountain Valley. But sometimes — either because of root intrusion, grease clogs, construction debris and accidents or structural failures of the pipes — the effluent goes awry, bubbling to the surface and into gutters and storm drains that flow directly into local waterways.
Citing state records, California River Watch said 25 Newport sewer system failures from 2013 to 2018 combined to spill 17,755 gallons, though much of that was intercepted before hitting bodies of water. Fourteen of the spills reached water, according to the claim, considered a precursor to a possible lawsuit.
They included a siphon failure in February 2015 in Corona del Mar that dumped 1,500 gallons of sewage into the ocean and led the county health department to close Little Corona beach for five days.
In December 2015, root intrusion triggered a 2,000-gallon spill near City Hall, with 1,800 gallons entering a storm drain.
In February 2016, a structural failure of a force main pipe beneath 62nd Street sent 200 gallons into the saltwater marsh of Semeniuk Slough.
In its claim, River Watch suggested that recorded spill volumes were conservative because spills tend not to be reported immediately.
Vukojevic said the city has had only one incident this year — a 100-gallon spill in February in Newport Heights.
Though the state defines a sewage spill as "significant" at 1,000 gallons, any spill is too much, Vukojevic said.
"We don't want any, we shouldn't have any, but they do happen," he said.

South Africa's New Government and the Old Renewables Challenge
South Africa's new president has revealed an energy policy aimed at meeting the country's growing energy demands. Alex Hawkes investigates what role renewable energy will play in the plan to reduce the country's emissions.
As South Africa's newly appointed President Jacob Zuma sets about assembling his cabinet, much can already be made of the decision to divide the energy and mining ministry into two separate entities.
The African National Congress (ANC) party has promised a new energy strategy to tackle power shortages and cut greenhouse gas emissions that presently account for a staggering two-fifths of the continent's overall figures.
Although critics have voiced concern at the inexperience of Dipuo Peters – the relatively unknown minister selected to front the new energy portfolio – analysts have welcomed the split that could potentially allow for a greater focus on the individual challenges at hand, especially in light of the financial downturn. Furthermore, by dividing the cabinets, the ANC hopes to remove some of the red tape that suffocated the previous ministry's performance.
"The African National Congress (ANC) party has promised a new energy strategy to tackle power shortages."
The new integrated energy policy hopes to meet growing demands for gas, oil and electricity while also addressing global warming concerns.
As one of the least energy-efficient nations in the world and the least efficient in Africa, the ACN and South Africa face a steep challenge, albeit one that one already has relative groundwork in place.
For a start, the party is able to take on the state-owned utility company Eskom's five-year expansion plan, which aims to add new plants across South Africa to avoid a repeat of last year's nationwide power cuts.
Furthermore, in March 2009, South Africa's national energy regulator (NERSA) announced the introduction of a system of feed-in tariffs designed to produce 10TWh of electricity a year by 2013. The new tariffs, which are differentiated by technology, lean in strong favour of renewable energy sources and therefore offer a clear financial incentive for future investors to develop power supplies along that path. ANC has also reportedly recognised the need to open the door to private power firms and give them a bigger say in helping to fill the country's prominent power supply gap.
With plans to enforce an emissions cap in South Africa by 2020-25 and an additional goal of generating 15% of the country's electricity from renewable sources by 2020, such policies are a necessary step forward. South Africa currently generates approximately 93% of its electricity from coal, 5% from nuclear and 2% from renewable power sources.
The new 20-year feed-in tariff for wind power will be $0.14/kWh, which compares generously to Germany's rate of approximately $0.016 – a country widely regarded as the model of feed-in tariff implementation. Elsewhere, hydro power will be measured at $0.104/kWh and landfill oil will stand at $0.10/kWh.
Solar South Africa
"The new integrated energy policy hopes to meet growing demands for gas, oil and electricity."
South Africa's hot arid climate gives solar power obvious appeal. Scientists estimate that every year, each square kilometre of desert receives energy equivalent to 1.5 million barrels of oil. With South Africa's barren Northern Cape terrain famed for its relentless sun and dust, it seemed inevitable that the region would be earmarked as a potential solar energy hotspot.
In 2008, Eskom began making plans to build a solar plant near Upington – a popular holiday destination in the Northern Cape Province – capable of generating 100MW. Until now escalating costs have plagued the project but the latest feed-in-tariffs could renew interest in solar.
Another initiative involving solar power was the Central Energy Fund's (CEF) recent decision to push forward the installation of solar-powered traffic lights at critical intersections in South Africa's major cities. Partly a measure to prevent traffic disasters during electricity blackouts, the scheme also hopes to promote the increased use of the renewable energy source. Currently around 20 such traffic lights have been installed at a cost of approximately $35,000 each and CEF is expected to invest roughly $11.5m on 400 intersections in the future.
Hydro power
Hydro power also has some potential for South Africa, albeit largely imported, and is expected to play a much larger role in satisfying the wider African continent's growing energy needs. Already some African nations, including the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Uganda and Zambia have invested in hydro power projects and are highly dependent on the energy source.
"There are plans to enforce an emissions cap in South Africa by 2020-25."
African hydro power plants such as Kariba in the Kariba Gorge of the Zambezi River between Zambia and Zimbabwe, and Cahora Bassa on the Zambezi in Mozambique, have helped expand available electricity to urban and industrial areas. Not only have these projects helped spur economic growth in their respective regions, but they have opened up the export of electricity to other African nations, most notably South Africa, Nigeria and Egypt.
Although South Africa currently derives very little of its energy from hydro power, Eskom recently awarded a contract to a joint venture led by Italian firms Impregilo and CMC to construct an underground works and reservoirs for the Ingula pumped storage project.
The $795m Ingula plant is to be built roughly 350km south-east of Johannesburg and is scheduled to commence operations in 2013. Last year, Eskom awarded Voith Siemens Hydro Power Generation the contract to supply electro-mechanical equipment to the project. The company will supply four pump-turbines each capable of an out of 342MW.
Such investments in combination with a more clear-cut energy policy from the new South African government could finally help to solve both the country's limited power resources and reduce emissions.

</asp:Content>

A: Check if this works according to your requirement:
1.Use  ClientIDMode="Static" in the Page Directive.
2.Remove suffix from the funAmount, as control ids will not have the master page id appended.
        function funAmount(quantity, amount, totalamt) {
        var qty = document.getElementById(quantity).value;
        var amt = document.getElementById(amount).value;
        var total = parseFloat(qty) * parseFloat(isNaN(amt) ? 0 : amt);
        document.getElementById(totalamt).innerText = isNaN(total) ? 0 : total;
        document.getElementById('ddltaxtype').options[0].selected = "true";
    }

3.Pass the controls to the function appropriately.Eg:
 <asp:TextBox ID="txtquan1" runat="server" onblur="funAmount('txtquan1','txtatthe1','lblamnt1')"></asp:TextBox>
 <asp:TextBox ID="txtatthe1" runat="server" onblur="funAmount('txtquan1','txtatthe1','lblamnt1')"></asp:TextBox>

4.Make sure the correct control ids are passed,from your code i see the value passed for "txtatthe2" is incorrect.
5.You should be using a grid control if your rows are going to grow dynamically!

A: I've modified your "onblur" function call and javascript function and tested. It works well now. Please find the below Child Page and let me know:

        <asp:TextBox ID="txtquan1" runat="server" onblur="funAmount(this.id.replace('txtquan1',''), 'txtquan1','txtatthe1','lblamnt1')"></asp:TextBox>
        <asp:TextBox ID="txtatthe1" runat="server" onblur="funAmount(this.id.replace('txtatthe1',''),'txtquan1','txtatthe1','lblamnt1')"></asp:TextBox>
        <asp:Label runat="server" ID="lblamnt1" Text=""></asp:Label>

Good Bye Scuba Instructor Daire!
Every summer, Sea Dwellers brings in help for the busy dive season. This is in the form of Divemasters, Instructors, and Divemaster Candidates. This year, we had the pleasure of working with Daire Kennedy, a young PADI Instructor from Dublin Ireland.
Daire arrived at Sea Dwellers Dive Center in the nick of time! After a slow winter and an average Spring, we were weary of a less-than-great scuba summer. But as things worked out, the weather turned hot, the wind died down, the blue water came in, and the dive season took off big time. So Daire came at the right time. And being the intelligent young man that he is, he picked our system right up and, well…worked his tail off for 2 and a half months. We all worked pretty hard, which is nice after being so unusually slow before the summer arrived.
Daire was an excellent Scuba Instructor as it turned out, and we got quite a few compliments about his work. He's also a good guy. Now he's heading back to Ireland to go back to school….start back to work on his degree in….Neuroscience. Yes, you heard me correctly…Neuroscience.
So we had a going-away party of sorts for Daire a few days ago. The staff all got together to say good-bye, and thanks. We all engaged in…well… in general revelry. We all relaxed, cut loose a little, and had a few. It was good fun bonding after working very hard for the summer. We discussed our Scuba Instructional techniques; reviewed our Dive Policies; talked over possible improvements; and compared class grading scales. And we had a few.
But most importantly, we said good-bye to our new friend, Daire. We wish him all the best in the future, and hope to see him again in the not-too-distant future.
Man, has the diving been good here lately. I mean, we've been seeing Goliath Groupers, reef sharks, bait balls…and yes, even a Great White Shark! These are things we've always seen…at times, but never with this frequency. After a slow spring, with more bad weather than anyone can remember…for the last 6 weeks things have just been incredible on the reef.
We're happy about this of course, and we're also happy to see a lot of divers here also. It's been a little slow here the last few years, but it seems like suddenly divers are taking vacations again…a good sign for businesses here, but also a sign that America is doing better maybe?
And the health of the reefs has been getting better, we think, at least in the short term as shown by all these critters we've been seeing so much of. This is good for businesses, divers, vacationers…and us, because we simply love the Keys and especially the reef here, the only living coral barrier reef in North America.
So we think this is something to celebrate, and we'll keep you updated on the critters!
This is the ultimate question, at least from our perspective here at Sea Dwellers Dive Center in Key Largo. We've always THOUGHT we knew the answer, or at least had some compelling ideas. We've asked our customers to chime in also.
Period. End of discussion. By every criteria I can come up with, Key Largo is simply the best compared to any other island in the Keys…Marine life..yes. Water visibility….yep. Most dive locations….yes sir. Most wrecks…right on. We've got every category as far as the Keys are concerned, no matter what anybody tells you, and it's not even close, really Now that doesn't mean there isn't any good diving in the rest of the Keys…there are many great locations! We've just got more…and better, in every category.
But back to the question why dive Key Largo as compared to other dive locations? There are many great dive locations in the Caribbean, why should you come to Key Largo? We're talking about giants in the Dive World like Grand Cayman, Bonaire, Turks & Caicos, Bahamas, Roatan…and many others. So how does Key Largo stack up?
"The diving in the Florida Keys isn't as good as other places in the Caribbean." We've heard this before, maybe you have too…maybe you even believe this yourself. So is it true? Well, what are the criteria? Water visibility…marine life, number of dive locations… topside activities available….friendliness to tourists?
So why dive Key Largo?
We had some folks here the other day who could not believe that their dives in Key Largo "had so many bloody fish"!
You can tell where they're from by this statement I guess….but it turns out they've been to many locations throughout the Caribbean and on their first trip to the Keys, (Key Largo of course since they were divers)…they were very surprised by the amount of marine life here. And they are not alone. Many divers make the same conclusion after diving here, and many return year after year for this reason.
The REEF Foundation monitors the variety and abundance of marine life throughout the world. It is a great grass-roots organization that incorporates everyday divers like you and I into their process of fish counting. They know about marine life, where it is, and how it compares.
According to REEF, in their TOP 25 dive locations in the Tropical Western Atlantic, Molasses Reef is #10, and French Reef is #21. Now this is among 100's of locations in all the Caribbean…those places like Grand Cayman, Bonaire, Turks & Caicos…all the big boys are in there.
And Molasses Reef is #10. Only 9 dive locations among hundreds of dive locations have as much as, or more than, the marine life that is found on Molasses Reef here in Key Largo. Not too bad, huh? And how about French Reef….not too shabby either. All this in a location you can drive to. (Not one spot in any of the other Florida Keys made this list, by the way, and again, I don't say this to bash anyone, it's just the way it is).
The Keys have always been the spot for reefs and marine life…but now the Artificial Reef Program has been responsible for putting all the Keys in the "World Class" category for wrecks. There's the Vandenburg in Key West, the MV Adolphus Busch in Big Pine Key, the Thunderbolt in Marathon, the Eagle in Islamorada, and the Duane, the Bibb, and the Speigel Grove in Key Largo. And there are more, but I think the ones I've mentioned are all pretty world-class. Other than maybe North Carolina, there simply isn't any wreck diving like this in North America, and maybe not in the Caribbean.
America's Caribbean….Key Largo is an hour away from MiamiInternationalAirport, and about an hour and a half from Ft Lauderdale International Airport. Both airports have flights from every major hub in America, many of them direct. And because competition is good for the consumer, they have been competing with each other for the last several years and most domestic flights are at their lowest in years. Or of course you can just drive to Key Largo, unlike any other scuba diving destination with a living barrier reef….you can drive to the Keys.
Many of our customers brought this point up. Surprisingly, we had not thought of it. I guess we take it for granted? Key Lime Pie, Cracked Conch, Conch Fritters, Harvey's Fish Sandwich, Yellowtail, Hogfish, lobster, blue crab….and of course, the ultimate seafood for those that know….Stone Crabs. Yum yum.
Ok Ok….so this is a little self-serving…and the only statistical data on this is from our biggest fans. But we can tell you that most of our feedback from customers did mention this! (And I'm sure they aren't biased at all!!!). I can tell you though, there are a lot of folks who have been diving with us for a long time now, which is the best testimony I think, that we're doing something right.
So is Key Largo as good of a dive destination as any in the Caribbean?
And the answer is…….of course it's subjective. But if you're talking marine life, or wrecks, or great seafood…I think we can make a case that Key Largo just ain't too shabby compared to the rest of the Caribbean. As a matter of fact, Key Largo stands tall when compared to many other great dive destinations.
Sea Dwellers Dive Center, come on down and dive Key Largo!
One of my staff was diving Molasses Reef the other day, enjoying the bait ball we've had there for over a week now, and he said the obvious hit him suddenly…the marine life here is really awesome! As a matter of fact, the marine life today in the Florida Keys is more abundant and diverse than it was 10 to 15 years ago, in our humble opinion. Now to those of you who dive key largo and already knew that, it does seem obvious.
But in this world we live in now this should really be applauded. Today we find many of our natural resources under attack from things like pollution, climate change, and lack of government funding for protection due to deficits, etc. It's very easy to talk about the negatives here on the only barrier coral reef in North America, of which there are still plenty. And yet despite this, the marine ecosystem here in the Florida Keys has seen some positives over recent history, as shown most dramatically in the abundance of marine life we're seeing these days.
In 1990, the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary was established, along with many rules and regulations that some were concerned about. But with this also came government funding, for the protection of our waters and the ecosystem here. I believe we have seen the benefits of this at this point, and while there are still many problems we face here, there are tangible improvements that we all can see today on our reefs…that we all can enjoy!
We at Sea Dwellers think this is something to celebrate…Happy 4th of July America!
Bait Ball on Molasses Reef !
Well for the last few days, a big bait ball has been living, or trying to live…on Molasses reef. It's been exciting…several caribbean reef sharks have been circling it, feeding on it as the small fish struggle to make it past the next deadly pass.
Sorry to say, while it's been fun to watch, it won't last long…as the ball is getting smaller and smaller and smaller….


Dropout is a relatively new algorithm for training neural networks which relies on stochastically dropping out'' neurons during training in order to avoid the co-adaptation of feature detectors. We introduce a general formalism for studying dropout on either units or connections, with arbitrary probability values, and use it to analyze the averaging and regularizing properties of dropout in both linear and non-linear networks. For deep neural networks, the averaging properties of dropout are characterized by three recursive equations, including the approximation of expectations by normalized weighted geometric means. We provide estimates and bounds for these approximations and corroborate the results with simulations. We also show in simple cases how dropout performs stochastic gradient descent on a regularized error function."

Q: Cups and print server slowing down entire system I am a sysadmin, and my computers run Debian Jessie. (I know, I'm working on updating soon.) When I try to print to a network printer, sometimes it works flawlessly. Other times, however, the program I'm printing from will gray out and the print dialog will take forever to come up. All the programs on the  computer will hang. At times like these, running lpstat -t will hang as well. Furthermore, after a print job is completed, lpstat -t will show, indefinitely:

Printer printername is idle. Enabled since datetime.
  Waiting for printer to finish.

The printer usually accepts more jobs anyway.
Restarting CUPS will usually temporarily fix all of these problems, but I have been unable to identify the source. What can I do to fix this?
Update:
Looking in my log files, I see cupsd is not idle any more, canceling shutdown over and over.


When I first learned about the possibility of using food as medicine, one of the very first foods I started eating was shiitake mushrooms.
These mushrooms are renowned in Japan (and in Macrobiotic cooking), for their healing properties.
What makes these mushrooms stand out from other famous fungi?
Well, first and foremost they are packed with B vitamins and vitamin D (if they are sun-dried). They contain copper, one of the few metal elements essential to human health.
They also have anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties.
Shiitakes are rich in lentinan that heals chromosome damage and fights cancer.
And, most importantly, they are DELICIOUS! When using food as medicine, it should taste really good, otherwise you're not going to want to eat it.
So, get yourself some shiitake mushrooms and put them into soups, stir fries, and sautéed veggies.
Due to their popularity, you can find shiitake mushrooms at most grocery stores and health food stores. You can also find them dried.
For this recipe below I used sun-dried mushrooms that are rich in vitamin d. And, that's especially good throughout the winter months.
Add oil into a soup pot.
Bring heat up to medium high and saute onion with a few pinches of sea salt until lightly caramelized (about 15-20 minutes).
Strain the shitake soaking water and add to the broth.
Thinly slice the shiitakes and add to the broth.
Add garlic, remaining salt, and chili pepper flakes.
Cover and reduce heat to simmer for 5-7 minutes.
Garnish with fresh parsley and scallions.

#AmWriting, Writings
The Writing Spot
Athletes have their pre-game rituals. Performers have their pre-show regime. Writers have their spot.
The writing spot provides focus and inspiration. It is the writer's retreat from the world where words move from the imagination to the page.
I think I can say with confidence that every writer has the spot even if it exist only in their mind, because location or money prohibit the imaginative spot from existing. Other writers may be able to create anywhere, from a coffee shop to a park bench. Some may need absolute silence to communicate with their thoughts, while others write best immersed in the clatter of everyday life.
A sensory experience
The writing spot is so much more than just a location. A writing spot is a multi-sensory experience and even a lifestyle for some.
Victor Hugo locked away his clothes to prevent himself from leaving his apartment while he wrote The Hunchback of Notre-Dame. Flannery O'Connor would apparently munch on apples in the tub while thinking over plots. William Faulkner, as many know, drank whiskey endlessly while he wrote.
Whether it's food, beverage, location, clothing, or superstitions about ink or cigarettes — writer's create a world for themselves as they create for their readers.
For me the writing spot is imagined. Ideally I would have a cabin in the woods near a body of water with lots of blankets, a wood-burning fireplace, cozy furniture, and an oversized wood table. Since I am still and forever in school (I got into a PhD program!) I do my best to create the ideal spot no matter where I live.
There are three-to-five necessary components to create the illusion of my ideal writing spot:
A window — seeing nature and life outside is so important. Trees are the ideal landscape.
Hot beverage — usually coffee or tea (and endless glasses of water). There is something comforting about warm beverages that makes me feel safe to make myself vulnerable through writing.
A warm and cozy sweater or sweatshirt (at the moment of writing this I'm wearing a red and black oversized knit sweater)
Either a large table or an oversized chair in which I can sit cross-legged — Large
A candle — flames are meditative and empowering
Writing spots of the published
The typewriter on which Hemingway wrote for a few hours each day in Havana, Cuba while standing.
The initial inspiration for this post was a photo from my parents' recent vacation. My father showed me a photo of the typewriter where Ernest Hemingway stood and typed Old Man and the Sea.
Apparently Hemingway would wake up each morning in Havana, Cuba, write for a few hours and then proceed to drink the rest of the day at a bar in the city.
"A working habit he has had from the beginning, Hemingway stands when he writes. He stands in a pair of his oversized loafers on the worn skin of a lesser kudu—the typewriter and the reading board
A statue of Hemingway in the Havana, Cuba bar Floridita.
chest-high opposite him," George Plimpton wrote from an interview with Hemingway for the Paris Review.
Once the day's writing was complete, Hemingway spent the afternoons and evenings at the Floridita Bar in Havana.
Other writers are known to have written their works while lying down.
Truman Capote called himself a "horizontal author." Edith Wharton wrote in bed to escape the confines of proper women's clothing, primarily the corset.
James Joyce also wrote in bed. He laid on his stomach on his bed using crayons. Joyce's writing spot was out of necessity given is poor eyesight, according to the Brain Pickings blog.
The Brain Pickings post on Celia Blue Johnson's book "Odd Type Writers: From Joyce and Dickens to Wharton and Welty, the Obsessive Habits and Quirky Techniques of Great Authors" provide more insight into the writing spots of famous writers.
If you're interested in the writing spots of contemporary authors, check out the New York Times Magazine article "The Writer's Room." There are photos!

Stephanie Winkler – Wescom Credit Union
HR leader connects staff by working out and giving back
Written by: Kate Gardner
Produced by: Liz Fallon & Gavin O'Connor
Prior to having an established wellness program, many Wescom Credit Union employees were active and into fitness. Groups got together outside of work to walk, run and cycle.
Stephanie Winkler, the company's vice president of human capital and development, says it was only natural to reward people for staying healthy by creating a wellness program. In addition to earning points for working out, the program encourages good mental health care, as well as financial and social wellness.
Wescom partnered with a third party to build the structure for the program because "we had the drawers, but not the cabinets," Winkler says. Now, employees can earn points, which reward them with prizes or money, for working out, meditating, taking financial courses and even volunteering in the community.
Stephanie Winkler | Vice President of Human Capital and Development | Wescom Credit Union
The program is available to employees regardless of location or ability, and ties in to Wescom's mission, which is "to exceed expectations in everything we do," Winkler says. The credit union, based in Pasadena, California, has always prided itself on caring for employees, as well as members and the community at large, she adds.
"We wanted to make sure there were options for everyone and that it wasn't just physical because that's limiting," Winkler says. "This is well-rounded and can work for everyone while allowing them to connect with each other, the community and our mission."
Breaking down barriers
In addition to improving employees' health and happiness, Winkler says the program has increased productivity and satisfaction at work. Since the program started in 2016, the number of health claims has decreased, and annual surveys have shown employee satisfaction increasing, as well.
The health program has provided many employees with something they'd been requesting: a deeper connection with colleagues in other departments outside of work, whether for a walking group or volunteer activity. Wescom recently participated in a charity bicycle ride to raise money for people with multiple sclerosis.
"It helps everyone see people as people instead of as their titles," she says. "It creates a stronger sense of community because it shows people that they belong here and have a voice here, regardless of their job title."
These connections then lead to collaboration at work, she says. For instance, the program led to a job shadow program where employees shadow someone in a different department to better understand their work and how their own department can offer more support.
"This not only improves our internal working relationships, but it strengthens the experience for our members," Winkler says. "Making sure that employees feel comfortable and happy allows them to deliver incredible member service."
Welcoming environment
Making employees feel comfortable also means ensuring the workplace is welcoming and inclusive for everyone. Winkler says many employees said in a recent survey that diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives are important to them.
She adds that Wescom has practiced equitable pay and progressive hiring practices for years, but that it hadn't engaged in more overt discussions of race and diversity. Given the racial reckoning the country has been experiencing, she says it's time to be more proactive and transparent.
Winkler has completed a diversity, equity and inclusion certificate program from Cornell University that the human resources business partners are now taking. Some s taff will begin a "train the trainer" program next year through Wescom University, the company's training department, so they can teach all staff on diversity, equity and inclusion practices.
"The trainings will make employees more inclusive with each other, which will also impact our members and how welcome they feel," Winkler says.
She adds that mangers are also learning how to foster inclusive culture remotely and, in a few months, they'll go through a training on microaggressions. Wescom is also forming a diversity, equity and inclusion committee that will review employee surveys to determine what changes they want to see at work. The surveys will also help to form employee resource groups based on what types of resources and support people are seeking.
"We want this to be a continuous process so we're always growing and reassessing on how we can do better," Winkler says. "It's important that we listen to what employees need and let them guide the way."
Culture of change
Being able to create positive change and be of service to others is a main reason she was interested in working at Wescom Credit Union. Her mom worked in human resources and Winkler says she was raised to help other people. Despite this, she didn't imagine she'd follow so closely in her mom's footsteps.
She previously worked in the billing department of a medical company where she learned a lot about benefits. From there, she worked for almost 13 years at St. Francis Medical Center in Lynwood, California, as a benefits manager, where she helped launch an employee wellness program. In 2009, Wescom recruited her.
"It was easy to get behind an organization that does so much for its members and the community," Winkler says. "Wescom believes in being of service."
She says her favorite part of the job has been not only helping the company grow, but helping employees be successful and fulfilled. She also loves that she gets to help members, even if her impact is indirect. She helped create the company's audio-visual department, which makes online training videos to improve financial literacy.
"Our CEO loves innovation, so there's always something new for me to work on," Winkler says. "You don't get bored with your job if you do something new every day. Some people don't like change, but I'm not one of those people."

Animal Planet Reveals Premiere Date for Steve Irwin-Inspired Show
By Allison Schonter - July 27, 2018 09:48 am EDT
The Irwin family is returning to Animal Planet to honor the late crocodile hunter Steve Irwin, and the series finally has a premiere date.
On Thursday, Animal Planet announced a premiere date for its new series honoring the Aussie legend. The unnamed series, starring Terri, Bindi, and Robert Irwin and drawing inspiration from The Crocodile Hunter, will debut on the network on Oct. 28, according to The Wrap.
Originally announced in Octobe 2017, little is known about what the all-new series will entail, though it is suspected to follow in the footsteps of its flagship series and continue the work that Steve Irwin showcased in The Crocodile Hunter.
"It seemed like a really good time, since we do so many things together as a family," Terri Irwin said at the time the announcement was made.
Discovery Communications President and CEO David Zaslav also announced that the Irwin family will work on a number of projects that will air across the network's platforms and will also serve as global ambassadors for Discovery Communications.
The new series will mark the first time the entire Irwin family has appeared together on the network in more than 10 years since The Crocodile Hunter's run on the network. The Steve Irwin-starring series originally ran on Animal Planet from 1996 to 2007, documenting Irwin's unconventional approach to wildlife and conservation efforts.
On Sept. 4, 2006, Irwin, who became best known as the Crocodile Hunter from his show, died after being stabbed in the heart by a stingray while filming an underwater documentary called Ocean's Deadliest on Queensland's Batt Reef.
Irwin had decided to go snorkeling during a break in filming when he encountered the stingray, with an eyewitness stating that the Crocodile Hunter initially believed that he had only suffered a punctured lung.
Since his death, the Irwin family has continued Steve's legacy, with the trio currently operating the Australia Zoo, where they work with various animals and promote wildlife conservation efforts. They also continue the Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors, which was established in 2002 as a way to include and involve others in the protection of injured, threatened, and endangered wildlife.
The family has also starred separately in several wildlife series. In 2009, Bindi received a Daytime Emmy Award for her Discovery Kids series, Bindi, The Jungle Girl. Robert co-hosted the Discovery Kids series, Wild But True, and has also made several appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, sharing his enthusiasm for animals with the audiences.

Her organizing work started with the Trans Women of Color Coalition, and she has been an activist since Ferguson, where she was a freedom rider traveling to stand with the family and community of Mike Brown. Wriply's work expresses the power, strength, and resilience that trans women of color have to persevere, and the grace and beauty of her culture. Her work uplifts the young black trans women we've lost and continue to lose every year, and sheds light on the fact that there has been no national outcry. Wriply's art has been used in countless social justice flyers, and in November will be making its first film debut in MAJOR!, a documentary at the 2015 San Francisco Transgender Film Festival. Wriply is much more than a visual artist; she's also a singer/song writer, actor, screenplay writer, story teller, cartoonist, and fashion designer. She continues to work and fight for justice! For art will travel.

Harmanus Bleecker (October 9, 1779 – July 19, 1849) was an attorney in Albany, New York.  A Federalist, he is most notable for his service as a member of the New York State Assembly, a United States representative from New York, and Chargé d'Affaires to the Netherlands.

Born in Albany in 1779, Bleecker belonged to an old Dutch family that had lived in Albany since the 1600s.  He was educated in Albany, and learned to speak the Dutch language.  After studying in the private law office of two established attorneys, Bleecker attained admission to the bar in 1801, and began a practice in Albany.  He became a highly regarded lawyer and teacher, and many men who went on to prominent legal and business careers learned the law under his tutelage.  He was also active in numerous business ventures, including banks and canal construction and operation.

In 1810, Bleecker won a seat in the U.S. House.  He served in the 12th United States Congress (March 4, 1811 to March 3, 1813).  Bleecker did not run for reelection in 1812, and resumed practicing law.  In 1814 and 1815 he served in the New York State Assembly, where he worked with Governor Daniel D. Tompkins to provide funding for New York troops taking part in the War of 1812.

In 1837, Bleecker took office as Chargé d'Affaires to the Netherlands, appointed by longtime friend Martin Van Buren, who shared Bleecker's interest in the Dutch language and culture.  He served until 1842, after which he resumed practicing law in Albany.  Bleecker took part in numerous philanthropic and civic endeavors, including the establishment of several Albany-area hospitals and oversight of several universities.  He died in Albany in 1849, and was buried at Albany Rural Cemetery.

Bleecker married late in life, and had no children.  After her death in 1885, his widow honored his request to leave his fortune for the benefit of the citizens of Albany.  The money was used to construct Bleecker Hall, a library and theater.  The association responsible for the institution later sold Bleecker Hall, and then constructed Harmanus Bleecker Library, a building that was used solely as a library.  Bleecker Library was later redeveloped as private offices, and is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places

Early life
Harmanus Bleecker was born into an old Dutch family in Albany, New York on October 9, 1779.  His father Jacob Bleecker was a prominent merchant, and his mother Elizabeth Wendell was the daughter of Hermanus Wendell, an Albany furrier.  Harmanus Bleecker was also the great-great grandson of Jan Jansen Bleecker, the first Bleecker family member to reside in North America.  As a young man, Harmanus Bleecker studied law with John Vernon Henry and James Emott, was admitted to the bar in 1801, and commenced practice in Albany.  During a large portion of his career, Bleecker practiced at the firm of Bleecker & Sedgwick with Theodore Sedgwick (1780–1839) as his partner.

Bleecker was also a highly regarded teacher, and among the students who learned the law in his office were: David Dudley Field (1805–1894); Stephen Johnson Field; Charlemagne Tower; Bradford R. Wood; Peter Gansevoort; Solomon Southwick; Timothy Childs, and Charles Fenno Hoffman.

Political, legal and business career
He was elected as a Federalist to the 12th United States Congress, holding office from March 4, 1811 to March 3, 1813.  He was not a candidate for renomination in 1812 and resumed the practice of law in Albany.

Bleecker also pursued several business ventures, including serving on the board of directors of Albany's Mechanics and Farmers Bank.  In addition, he was a Trustee of the Erie and Champlain Canals.

Bleecker was a member of the New York State Assembly in 1814 and 1815.

Though Bleecker had been an opponent of the War of 1812 while in Congress, during the war he worked with Governor Daniel D. Tompkins to finance the equipping, supplying and pay of the state militia after it was federalized.

In 1843 Bleecker received an honorary LL.D. degree from Union College, and he was an honorary member of the Phi Beta Kappa Society.  From 1822 to 1834 Bleecker was a member of the University of the State of New York Board of Regents.

Bleecker opposed slavery, and was a member of the American Colonization and New-York Colonization Societies.  The societies advocated for the gradual emancipation of slaves, and for free African Americans to be relocated to what society members believed was greater freedom in Africa, including the colony of Liberia.

In the late 1820s Bleecker was one of New York's Commissioners who worked with Commissioners from New Jersey to determine the boundary between the two states.

In 1839 Bleecker was a member of the original Board of Governors that founded Albany City Hospital, now Albany Medical Center.

Diplomatic career
He was Chargé d'Affaires to the Netherlands from May 12, 1837 to June 28, 1842, initially appointed by President Martin Van Buren, who was friendly with Bleecker and shared his interest in Dutch culture and language. Bleecker was chosen in preference to John Lloyd Stephens, who also aspired to the position. As a practitioner of the traditional Dutch culture as it had been passed down in Albany and a speaker of the old-style Dutch language, Bleecker was very well received by the government and people of the Netherlands.  According to often-repeated accounts, when Bleecker presented his credentials, King William supposedly remarked "You speak better Dutch than we do in Holland!"

Retirement and death
After returning to Albany in 1842, Bleecker retired from most public life and business pursuits.  From 1846 until his death he was a member of the Executive Committee that organized and oversaw the State Normal College, now the State University of New York at Albany (SUNYA).  He died in Albany on July 19, 1849 and was buried at Albany Rural Cemetery, Section 3, Lot 61.

Personal relationships

Harmanus Bleecker maintained numerous friendships and professional relationships, many of which transcended political leanings.  For many years he practiced law with Theodore Sedgwick (1780–1839), the son of Federalist legislator and judge Theodore Sedgwick (1746–1813), and he was once engaged to Judge Sedgwick's daughter Catharine Sedgwick. He was also a close friend of Federalist Congressman and Boston Mayor Josiah Quincy (1772–1864).

In addition, Bleecker was a longtime friend of Martin Van Buren, a Democrat with whom he shared an interest in the Dutch culture and language.  By 1848, Bleecker's opposition to slavery and personal affinity for Van Buren had caused him to be identified with the Free Soil Party, and he was a candidate for presidential elector on Van Buren's ticket.

While still a Federalist Bleecker began a close friendship with Democratic Congressman and Senator John Randolph (1773–1833).  Bleecker and Randolph exchanged portraits as a token of their mutual esteem, and each displayed in his home the portrait of the other.

Philanthropy
Bleecker married Sebastiana Cornelia Mentz of Arnhem, a woman many years younger than him, whom he met while he was a diplomat in the Netherlands.  She lived with him in Albany, and inherited his estate.  They had no children, and after Bleecker's death she married Hendrick Coster and returned to the Netherlands, where she died in 1885.  The executors of the Harmanus Bleecker estate, which she left to benefit the City of Albany as Bleecker had requested, decided to spend the $130,000 ($4.4 million in 2023) to construct and maintain Harmanus Bleecker Hall, a library and theater.  Originally located near the corner of Washington Avenue and Lark Street, the 1889 Bleecker Hall was used until 1919, when the Young Men's Association, which was responsible for the site, decided to create a structure for use as a library only.  They sold the 1889 Bleecker Hall and used the proceeds to construct Harmanus Bleecker Library near the intersection of Washington and Dove Streets, which opened in 1924.  Bleecker Hall burned in a 1940 fire and was later demolished.

In 1977, the Albany Public Library's Washington Avenue Branch moved from Bleecker Library into a Washington Avenue building on the site of the old Bleecker Hall.  The Bleecker Library building remained vacant for several years until it was purchased by real estate developers.  In more recent times the building has been renovated as private office space, and it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Legacy
Bleecker was the subject of a 1924 biography, Harmanus Bleecker: An Albany Dutchman, 1779–1849, by Harriet Langdon Pruyn Rice.  Harriet Rice was the daughter of John V. L. Pruyn and granddaughter of Amasa J. Parker.  John Pruyn and Amasa Parker had been involved in the disposition of Bleecker's estate, which gave Harriet Rice access to Bleecker's papers.

5. Are you paid while laid off?
5.1. Contractual pay
5.2. Statutory Guarantee Pay
6. Applying for redundancy
7. What to do next
In certain circumstances, you might be temporarily laid off from your job. This article explains what this means and how you'll be paid when you're laid off. It also looks at your rights and your employer's responsibilities.
What is a lay-off?
If your employer doesn't have enough work for you, they may tell you to stay at home. If you're off work for at least one complete working day, this is a lay-off. Lay-off rights only apply to employees. For more information, see our 'Employees, workers and the self-employed' section.
A lay-off is temporary - if you're no longer needed to do your job, it's classed as redundancy.
Short-time
Your employer might have enough work to put you on short-time. This means your hours of work are cut.
Is your employer allowed to lay you off?
Your employer is normally entitled to tell you not to come into work as there is generally no legally enforceable right to work. However, there is an obligation for employers to pay employees their agreed salary. So usually your employer must pay you your full pay, unless you have agreed otherwise in your contract of employment.
There's no specific upper limit for how long you can be laid off or put on short-time. Employees who only get paid for work they actually do have the right to leave and claim redundancy after a certain amount of time (see below). If your employer is being completely unreasonable in laying you off, you might consider resigning and claiming constructive dismissal. If you are put onto short-time working by your employer and your contract of employment does not give them the right to do this, they have broken your contract of employment and you may be entitled to treat the intention to place you on short-time working as constructive dismissal – that is to say as if you had been actively dismissed – and you may claim redundancy payments.
Situations where this might happen include:
If it seems they are laying people off indefinitely in order to avoid making people redundant
If they are unfairly singling you out
Are you paid while laid off?
You should get your full pay unless it is part of your contract that your employer can lay you off without pay (or on reduced pay). You should remember that something can be a part of your contract if:
It's written in your contract
You've verbally agreed it with your employer
It's in an agreement negotiated by a trade union
There's a national agreement for the industry
There's clear evidence that it's an established custom and practice
If it's not part of your contract, you can agree to change your contract if you wish (for example, a period of lay-off may be better for you than redundancy). If you agree to change your contract to allow unpaid lay-off, it is advisable to write down the agreement, making clear how long the agreement is going to last and whether you can change your mind.
If it's part of your contract that you can be laid off without pay, you'll have the right to Statutory Guarantee Pay (if you qualify). If it's not, you'll have the right to be paid the larger of:
What the contract provides for (which could be full pay or a reduced amount)
Statutory Guarantee Pay (if you qualify) (see below)
Contractual pay
Your contract may state that you'll be paid while laid off. It should tell you how much you'll get and how the rate has been agreed (for example, in a trade union agreement).
Statutory Guarantee Pay
To get Statutory Guarantee Pay, you must:
Have been employed continuously for at least one month - this includes part-time workers
Reasonably make sure you're available for work
Not refuse any reasonable alternative work, including work that isn't in your contract
Not have been laid off because of industrial action
Guarantee payments are made for a maximum of five days in any rolling period of three months. After that time you should get them for another five days. If you normally work fewer than five days a week, you're paid for the number of days in your normal working week.
Guarantee payments are worked out by multiplying the number of normal working hours for the day in question by your average hourly rate. You'll receive your daily rate or the upper limit of £25.90, whichever is less.
When Guarantee Pay has run out you should go to your Jobcentre to find out about benefits.
If your contract provides that you are entitled to be laid-off, but does not make any mention of payment during that period, then you are entitled to the statutory guarantee payments which are payable for complete days without work but not for any day when you worked for part of the day.
Applying for redundancy
Even if your employer is allowed to lay you off or put you on short-time, if it lasts long enough, you may be able to claim redundancy pay. However, this only applies if your wage depends on you being given work by your employer (e.g. you're a piece-rate worker). You have to follow a strict procedure:
In this case, 'laid off' means laid off for a whole week and short-time means earning less than half of your weekly wage
If you're laid off or on short-time for four or more weeks in a row or for a total of six or more weeks within a 13-week period, you may be entitled to redundancy pay
To get the pay you must give your employer written notice that you intend to claim redundancy and the reasons why – within four weeks of the end of the lay off period for which you're claiming
If your employer gives you a 'counter-notice' that, within four weeks, work lasting 13 weeks will be available, you won't get redundancy pay unless an Industrial Tribunal decides in your favour
If there's no counter-notice from your employer, you can resign, giving the required notice period, and apply for redundancy pay
If you are unsure of how this process works, you should get advice. More information is available in the Labour Relations Agency's guide Temporary lay-off and short-time working.
If your employer lays you off, check whether this is allowed under your contract or through custom. If you wish to agree to change your contract so that lay-off is allowed, you can do so. Another option open to you is to agree to take some annual leave instead of lay-off.
If lay-off is allowed, make sure your employer knows they should still give you Statutory Guarantee Pay. If it isn't allowed, you should get full pay (unless you agree to accept less).
If your employer lays you off without pay, and you feel they had no right to do this, or they fail to pay you Guarantee Pay, you can take the matter to an Industrial Tribunal.
