Shoosmiths 2018 slavery and human trafficking statement
The Shoosmiths LLP slavery and human trafficking statement is made pursuant to Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 'Transparency in Supply Chains' and was approved and signed by the Shoosmiths Operations Executive on behalf of the members on 10 September 2018 and the Partnership Council 19 October 2018. The statement will be updated annually and is our third published statement.
Our website statement is located at the footer of our Shoosmiths and Shoosmiths homepages where our previous statements can also be accessed.
Modern slavery is a crime where people are exploited and treated as commodities for commercial gain. It includes slavery, servitude, forced labour and human trafficking. It is a global problem and can exist in any supply chain and industry.
The United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals states within Goal 8 - Decent Work and Economic Growth - a target that includes a focus to 'take immediate and effective measures to eradicate forced labour, end modern slavery and human trafficking...'
Shoosmiths is committed to playing its part to help effect change through an improved understanding of its operations, by raising stakeholder awareness and by identifying opportunities for collaboration and shared best practice.
Shoosmiths LLP is a leading national law firm and is a limited liability partnership registered in England and Wales (registered number OC374987). The Shoosmiths group includes a number of subsidiaries and separately constituted legal entities which Shoosmiths LLP ultimately controls, and Shoosmiths (Northern Ireland) LLP (registered number NC001384) which is a separately constituted legal entity regulated by the Law Society of Northern Ireland. Shoosmiths LLP also provides legal services in Scotland. We have been delivering legal services to businesses since 1845 and our clients are serviced by four divisions– business advisory, corporate, private client and real estate.

Our policies and commitments
Operating with integrity governs our approach and therefore our aspiration to be recognised by our stakeholders as an organisation which is a responsible corporate citizen in all our relationships. Our responsible business policies include:
Corporate responsibility policy
We are an equal opportunities employer and were the first top 100 law firm to achieve 'Gold Standard Investors in People' status, retaining Gold Standard status when we were re-accredited in August 2017.
Our employee policies and procedures set out our requirements on such issues as disciplinary, grievance, equal opportunities, flexible working, harassment and bullying, home and mobile working and recruitment best practice.
We expect all employees to conduct business with honesty and integrity and we have a zero tolerance approach to bribery and corruption with policies and regular training undertaken on this and other such issues as anti-money laundering, gifts and hospitality and counter terrorist financing.
Our internally managed whistleblowing policy sets out the process for reporting any concerns about wrongdoing or breaches of policies including forced or compulsory labour or human trafficking. During the year no slavery or trafficking concerns were reported by staff.
We expect our suppliers to share our commitments and approach and by collaborative working we believe we can jointly have a positive impact on society. Our supplier purchasing policy and guidelines underpins our supplier selection process and details a range of environmental, social and ethical issues including slavery and human trafficking for consideration as part of the supplier selection process.
Our priority suppliers are invited to sign up to our Supplier Code of Conduct covering laws and regulations, under age and forced labour, freedom of association, discrimination, wages and benefits, working hours, healthy and safe working conditions, environment, business integrity, discipline and grievances.
We updated our procedure on compliance with the Modern Slavery Act Duty to Notify Regulations in April 2018.
Shoosmiths is a signatory of the United Nations (UN) Global Compact and a member of the UK Network. As a signatory we report annually on our progress against the 10 principles relating to human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption. You can read our latest Communication on Progress here. Since May 2016 we have also been a member of the UN Global Compact UK Network Modern Slavery Working Group. Members represent a number of industry sectors and share ideas, information and best practice. In April 2018 we took part for the second consecutive year in the annual peer review of member slavery and human trafficking statements.
Shoosmiths is also a partner of the UK Stakeholders for Sustainable Development Network (UKSSD); its vision being that one day, everyone in the UK will have the chance of decent work in a prosperous economy within a fair and just society, living within the Earth's limits.
Our Corporate Responsibility Consultant acts as our lead anti-slavery champion responsible for guiding the business on best practice and raising staff awareness.
Due diligence and risk assessment - employees
Our employment strategy is based on attracting, developing and retaining the best talent by reinforcing our values and providing a stimulating and rewarding work environment. We recognise everyone is unique and has special contributions to make in delivering the Shoosmiths strategy. Employee engagement is at the heart of our approach and we want to inspire and empower our people to use their talents positively in our communities, whether that be locally, regionally, nationally or ultimately at a global level.
Our recruitment and employment procedures include appropriate pre-employment screening of all staff to determine right to work in the UK where all our offices are based.
All recruitment suppliers are based in the UK and to the best of our knowledge there are no suppliers using a third party within the process. We deal directly with each supplier who is tasked with delivering the relevant service.
Due diligence and risk assessment - suppliers
A nominated individual in each division and directorate (10 in total) has been briefed on our updated Modern Slavery Act Duty to Notify procedure and this group of colleagues is responsible for leading on its delivery. The procedure details:
background to the scale of the problem globally, regulations and our legal requirements;
guidance on how to assess level of risk and therefore selection of priority suppliers for engagement on an annual basis or if a risk arises that requires investigation. Priority considerations can include:
sourcing from or operating in countries of high risk;
high risk sectors where cases are frequently reported;
slavery/trafficking issues in the UK;
labour intensive stages of supply chain where the end product is cheap;
sub contracted labour forces;
low skill employment used;
transaction risks;
significant values of spend or significant strategic value;
contracts coming up for renewal;
material change in the supplier's business e.g. merger, acquisition, significant operational changes;
if an incident has occurred or a potential incident identified; and
previous responses warranting follow up
invitation for priority suppliers to sign up to the Shoosmiths supplier code of conduct and to provide information on:
countries goods/services sourced from;
review of operations and supply chain during last twelve months;
any instances of slavery/human trafficking identified;
any remediation programme in place if instances found;
any third party accreditations in place to check slavery/human does not exist in supply chain;
details of supplier's slavery and human trafficking statement if an obligated organisation; and
approaches to other high risk sustainability issues
employee and employer procedure in the event of an incident of slavery or human trafficking identified and working with supplier to help victims and mitigate risk in the future.
Within our estates management function Fisco UK Ltd works with Shoosmiths directly managing and taking ownership of all second tier Facility Management contracts relevant to mechanical and electrical, security, cleaning and vending operations. All new suppliers are vetted and an annual compliance review is undertaken to include pre-employment screening, training, health, safety, environmental and as above modern slavery compliance.
Each priority supplier is also sent a slavery and trafficking survey asking it to provide details on:
countries that goods/services are sourced from
any relevant due diligence standards adhered to
if its operations/supply chain has been reviewed in the last twelve months for evidence of any instances, forced labour, or human trafficking
if any affected goods or services have been identified
remediation approach if any instances were to be found
any collaborative initiatives or third party accreditations in place
annual statements that have been published
As at September 2018 156 suppliers have signed up to our supplier code of conduct and we have received 72 supplier responses to our 2018 slavery and trafficking supplier survey.
Goods and services sourced outside the UK include US datasite services; paper bags from Bulgaria; and power banks, USBs, folders, travel adaptors, webcam covers, vacuum bottles and stress balls from China.
Divisions and directorates have not identified any internal business procedures that could make demands of suppliers or contractors that might lead them to violate human rights and we will keep this under review.
Shoosmiths has not been informed of any incidents of slavery or trafficking during the year but will investigate any allegations should they arise and take appropriate action accordingly.
Internal engagement
E learning training is made available to nominated individuals within each division and business directorate overseeing compliance with our slavery and human trafficking requirements. The e learning training covers four modules providing an introduction to modern slavery, what are the signs, action to take and an assessment of understanding. As at August 2018 66 of employees (87%) have completed the training.
We raise awareness amongst our staff about slavery and human trafficking which this year has included:
Information on our intranet which describes the scale of the problem, what Shoosmiths is doing and ways in which staff can help.
Inclusion in our quarterly induction programme for new joiners.
Following the launch by BT/Unseen of the Unseen App we have added the App to all new company iPhones and iPads ordered from mid-August 2018 onwards. The App helps to make it easier to report concerns to the free confidential helpline 08000 121 700, operated by Unseen 24 hours a day 365 days a year. The helpline can be used by victims, members of the public and businesses to get help, report a suspicion or seek advice. The helpline website also provides resources and directories of services and helpline providers.
An update on progress and plans to our national Employee Forum in September 2018.
In the run up to Anti-Slavery Day 18 October 2018 an intranet feature about the scale and challenges posed by slavery and trafficking will include ways colleagues can get involved to raise awareness and support the work of organisations tackling the problem.
Firm wide briefings and articles on our external facing CR blog SHOUTback and inclusion in our annual CR Report and UN Global Compact Communication on Progress.
External engagement
In addition to our involvement with the United Nations Global Compact activities during the last twelve months have included:
Modern Slavery Act advice and training provided to clients by our regulatory, employment and commercial teams including board briefings, compliance checklists, amending and drafting contracts to include anti-slavery clauses, assisting with business deals clients are undertaking – considering if other parties involved are affected by the legislation, inserting anti-slavery clauses in agreements and s.54 transparency statements.
Our employment/immigration team also advise on illegal working policies and procedures, carrying out prevention of illegal working audits and provides training for staff undertaking checks on illegal working.
To find out more about the advice we provide click here. To find out more about our e-learning training click here.
In June 2018 we organised a workshop with the Law Society and the University of Nottingham. Law firms and the third sector explored challenges that victims and survivors of modern slavery face accessing legal justice and therefore opportunities for possible remedies.
In October 2018 we became a partner of the TISCreport which it describes as the largest Open Data register committed to ending Modern Slavery and supply chain abuses. The £1,500 subscription is split equally between the TISCreport register and the UK Modern Slavery helpline.
Briefing the pro bono clinics we operate in Reading and Northampton and liaising with LawWorks to find ways of raising awareness including the potential for non-specialist legal advisers to help clients complete applications for Exceptional Case Funding.
Priorities for 2018/2019
undertake a third party modern slavery threat assessment to identify opportunities for improvement;
increase understanding of potential risk areas perceived by our priority suppliers within their supply chains;
explore opportunities for collaboration within the business sector and with third sector organisations involved in mitigating and preventing slavery and trafficking within the UK; and
continue to raise awareness amongst stakeholders.
In conclusion, Shoosmiths is committed to better understanding its supply chains and collaborating with stakeholders who wish to improve transparency and address incidents of slavery or human trafficking. This applies not just to our own practices but also to the identification of opportunities in wider society where we might be able to make a difference.

CNN's John King Falsely Declares CRT the GOP's New 'Horsesh*t' 'Dog Whistle'
November 4, 2021, 8:03 pm 1.7k Views 0 Votes
CNN Inside Politics host John King agreed with Democratic strategist Paul Begala on Thursday that Republican attacks against Critical Race Theory were nothing more than racist dog whistles for suburbanites who don't like diversity. At one point, King went so far as to echo Democratic allegations that it was a "horsesh*t" issue.
Begala was lamenting that both the more left-wing and relatively moderate factions of the Democratic Party were to blame for the party's woes as the infighting alienates both liberals and swing voters and allows Republicans to "sweep into that with this divisive Critical Race Theory, cultural racial dog whistles. That's a more effective strategy when the Democrats aren't delivering on middle class economics so the Democrats can do a lot to change this and they by god better."
"You mentioned the dog whistles and I want to bring this issue up because again, I think it's a challenge of how the Democrats deal with it. Because you're right, when you talk about Critical Race Theory in Virginia and it's not taught in Virginia schools, that's a dog whistle," King Agreed.
King was hardly alone in falsely stating that CRT was not used in Virginia as he took his "dog whistle" remarks a step further, "That's a dog whistle to people who maybe lived in an affluent white suburb 20 years ago and they're seeing a lot of diversity, a lot of change and they're thinking 'oh my god, I'm worried about this,'" he said.
He then turned to Democratic pollster Margie Omero, asking how Democrats could fight back on the issue, asking: "One of the challenges is some Democrats, forgive me, my language, you can disagree if you want, get elitist about this and they say 'horseshit. It's not taught in the Virginia schools, so forgot it, this won't work.' But it does work. So, what is the answer? How do Democrats talk about this and take it on?"
Omero took a while to actually answer the question. At first, she argued that there was more to Virginia's gubernatorial race than CRT, citing long school closures as one example. When she finally did get around to answering the question, she agreed with King and Begala, saying what Republicans actually oppose was teaching history accurately:
I think you say, first of all, you have you to acknowledge this is not being taught in public schools. At the same time we should be teaching complete honest history to our students and this should not be something that politicians are using as a political football and that way you are recognizing that people are hearing something and you're addressing it, but you're also noting, like, look, what is the issue here, the issue is we should be teaching actual history, not what politicians want.
Teaching complete history was something no Republican, including Youngkin, had a problem with, but admitting that would have been boring and not allowed King to swear on air.
This segment was sponsored by Walmart.
Here is a transcript for the November 4 show:
CNN's Inside Politics
PAUL BEGALA: The left on The Hill tells voters "we're not delivering for you. We're not getting your child care, we're not getting your—". Okay. The moderates, we just saw Joe Manchin do it, The moderates are saying "we're too liberal" so the liberals are depressing the Democratic base and the moderates are alienating the swing and the Republicans then sweep into that with this divisive Critical Race Theory, cultural racial dog whistles. That's a more effective strategy when the Democrats aren't delivering on middle class economics so the Democrats can do a lot to change this and they by god better.
JOHN KING: You mentioned the dog whistles and I want to bring this issue up because again, I think it's a challenge of how the Democrats deal with it. Because you're right, when you talk about Critical Race Theory in Virginia and it's not taught in Virginia schools, that's a dog whistle. That's a dog whistle to people who maybe lived in an affluent white suburb 20 years ago and they're seeing a lot of diversity, a lot of change and they're thinking "oh my god, I'm worried about this." But, but, how do Democrats deal with it when it does prove, if you look at the exit poll, Margie, you look at the issues in Virginia, economy and jobs and education. Economy and jobs, part of the COVID frustration is the Democrats' problem there. Perhaps as the virus has tamed, that number's different next year or that number works to Democrats' advantage maybe by next year. That's possible. The education issue, traditionally a Democratic issue. One of, one of the challenges is some Democrats, forgive me, my language, you can disagree if you want, get elitist about this and they say "horseshit. It's not taught in the Virginia schools, so forgot it, this won't work." But it does work. So, what is the answer? How do Democrats talk about this and take it on?
MARGIE OMERO: Okay, so there are a few things. First of all, when people say education, it doesn't mean necessarily that everyone is thinking about Critical Race Theory. There are lots of things happening. You've had schools, particularly in parts of Virginia closed and shut down for a long time and so there's a lot happening with COVID, et cetera. So I would not just say anybody who says they are concerned about education that their one concern is preventing their child from reading Beloved in their senior year. So, at the same time I also want to note that this discussion about CRT was not effective for Republicans on the right all over the country. You had school board races in Ohio, you know, that did not flip. You had huge investment in a recall effort at the school board level in Wisconsin, those did not flip, so this isn't just…
KING: Did it only work in Virginia because Terry McAuliffe said in a debate, you know, "I'm not going to listen" he just said something that was frankly dumb.
OMERO I don't know. I think there's a lot to unpack. It's not just simply one issue. Now, how do we talk about it? I think you say, first of all, you have you to acknowledge this is not being taught in public schools. At the same time we should be teaching complete honest history to our students and this should not be something that politicians are using as a political football and that way you are recognizing that people are hearing something and you're addressing it, but you're also noting, like, look, what is the issue here, the issue is we should be teaching actual history, not what politicians want.

As the Nottingham Rowing Club was the club that originated the sport of rowing in Nottingham, many of Nottingham's prominent citizens were its members. Apart from people such as Alderman Sir John Turney who owned the leather tanning factory on the Meadow Lane side of the River Trent, and was a founder member and later the clubs president, Nottingham World War I fighter ace Albert Ball VC was one of its members. Later in 1863 the Mayor of Nottingham was asked to give his patronage to the club and to permit the Nottingham Coat of Arms to be used as the clubs badge, this he duly permitted and became NRC's honorary secretary. It is this Coat of Arms which can still be seen to this day on the front of the Nottingham & Union Rowing Clubs boathouse.
Like the Nottingham Rowing Club whose members met in the bar of a public house, members of the Nottingham & Union Rowing Club in its formative years also held their meetings in the same pub. This pub was the Union Inn on London Road, which was the base where both rowing clubs were originally formed.

In Jagan's Andhra Pradesh, Education award named after Kalam makes way for YSR
In 2017, the then Chandrababu Naidu government decided to make the Andhra Pradesh Pratibha State level awards more prestigious by naming them after former President of India, Dr APJ Abdul Kalam. The awards are given to meritorious students who excel in the SSC public exams. They are given merit certificates, a memento and scholarships to meet the cost of their higher education.
In Jaganmohan Reddy raj, however, Kalam has to make way. Government order MS No. 78 issued by the School Education department on 4 November 2019, has renamed the APJ Abdul Kalam Pratibha Puraskhar Award as YSR Vidya Puraskars.
Update : Jagan reverses the decision. Read the details here.
This is the latest instance of Jagan's obsession with naming and renaming every scheme, programme and award after his late father YS Rajasekhara Reddy. The awards for 2019 will be given on 11 November, the birth anniversary of Moulana Abul Kalam Azad which is observed as National Education Day.
If changing the name of an award within two years is not desirable, to do away with the name of President Kalam who was known for his efforts to inculcate a scientific temper, encourage students to think big and loved interacting with the young, is bizarre. Of course, YSR was a qualified doctor himself but was it really necessary to junk Kalam's name.
It would have been fine if Jagan had made qualitative changes in the award process or introduced new awards. The latest move does neither.
And given the obsession of both political parties in Andhra Pradesh to change names, there is no guarantee that the name won't change should YSRCP lose power in 2024.
Apart from naming various schemes after YSR, in the past five months, every village secretariat office has also been painted in YSRCP colours.

Rocky Video Games
Posted on February 28, 2019 by Wanda Carr
The squad type of gameplay, where we can command a group of four thugs, was introduced in this sequel and, in my honest opinion, it was so easy to engage and eliminate the enemies that I get easily bored very quickly. Although, critics gave it average reviews praising the squad thing that introduced in the series a cool kind of strategy type of approach. The 1976 boxing movie with Sylvester Stallone won 3 Oscars: best picture, best director and best film editing. Three years later, in 1979, was released a sequel: Rocky II. In 1982, another: Rocky III, followed by Rocky IV, in 1985. So, inevitably, the Rocky franchise spawned various video game titles and, only in 1987, was released, exclusively for the Sega Master System, Rocky: The Video Game. Prior to it came, in 1983, for the Colecovision, Rocky Super Action Boxing, based in the third movie.
So, back to the Master System title, we confront opponents in a specific order but, before each fight, and to improve our skills, we need to practice with a sandbag, a punching ball, etc. Rocky Balboa's opponents are the ones from all first four movies: Apollo Creed, Clubber Lang and Ivan Drago. The game also includes a two-player mode and it was extremely well received upon its release. Later, in 2002, from the hands of Rage Software, another title based in this movie franchise was made available for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, Nintendo GameCube and Game Boy Advance. Besides plenty of references to the first four movies, this one introduces, as well, the fifth Rocky title, from 1990, and, in Europe, the game was even bundled with the very first Rocky film on DVD. Due to the average reviews from critics and the good reception from the public, a sequel was soon planned and released two years later, in 2004, obviously from the hands of the same team, now re-branded Venom Games and published by Ubi Soft.
This new game, entitled Rocky Legends, brought a new approach to the series, placing the action and events before and between the films. One of my favorite films of all time is Platoon, from 1986, which won 4 of the 8 Oscars for which it was nominated: best picture, best director, best sound and best film editing. Ocean Software, eighties specialist in movie conversions, grabbed the license and released, a year later, Platoon the Video Game for the ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, Amiga, Atari ST, Apple II, DOS, Amstrad CPC and, in 1988, for the NES. The versions that I've played back then were the C64 and ZX Spectrum ones and I've found those extremely well made and with some outstanding music and graphics. For some reason, the ones for the Amiga and DOS passed unnoticed and, just recently, had the opportunity to try those for the purposes of this video. In 2002 Platoon was again remembered through a Real Time Strategy type of game that could have been much better than it ended up being. Developed by Digital Reality exclusively for the PC, it has a sentence on its cover stating that it's "the first strategy game about the Vietnam War". Well, that's completely wrong!

Quickstepping mascots from charities, businesses and football teams are preparing to strut their stuff and raise cash for good causes.
A dance-off at tonight's Winter Wonderland celebration in Wimbledon town centre will see them throw shapes to bring in donations.
Construction business Paul Strank Roofing will host the event at their stall, which is raising cash for Children in Need and music charity One Life.
Paul Strank spokesman Terry Morgan said the playlist for the contest would be agreed between the competitors, and was expected to feature pop and dance hits played by One Life DJs.
The competition was inspired by an impromptu dance-off at last year's Winter Wonderland between Children in Need's own Pudsey Bear and Barci, the chicken from restaurant chain Nando's.
Both are set to return for the contest this year, along with Sam the Dog from property company Samuel Estates and chilli pepper Buppy from Broadway restaurant Jimmy Spice's.
Entries from the world of sport include AFC Wimbledon's Haydon the Womble, Sheffield United's Captain Blade and Howie the Hornet from Horsham FC.
Winter Wonderland includes the official Christmas lights switch-on by Anna Williamson and Sam Attwater, stars of this year's panto at New Wimbledon Theatre.
The event – which runs from 5pm to 9pm – will also feature a parade, fireworks, and a visit by the man himself – Father Christmas.
Claim to fame: Won gold at the mascot Olympics in Milton Keynes earlier this year.


LINCOLN CITY, Oregon, Nov. 30, 2008 , Adam Replogle and Alistair Craft won the 2008 Nelscott Reef Tow In Classic for the second year in a row. The event was held on a beautiful day in perfect surf conditions. Keallii Mamala goes home with the win for the first ever paddle in contest at Nelscott Reef.
After a day of thick fog on Saturday, the field of 16 teams woke up to sunny skies and big surf for the contest on Sunday. Waves were in the 20-30� range, wind was calm, skies were clear, and the temperature hit 64 degrees. This made for a perfect day of tow in surfing.
Although there were a few delays due to fog in the early morning hours, the contest got off to a smooth start. After two rounds of heats, 4 teams advanced to the finals. Almost all the teams in the finals, including the winners Adam Replogle and Alistair Craft, were from Santa Cruz, but the surprise of the event, was the team for Australia. Jeff and Josiah Schmucker are a father and son team from Australia who had never competed in a big wave competition before. Their 2nd place finish to some of the best teams in the world was impressive. Russell and Tyler Smith took 3rd place and the Wormhoudt brothers, Jake and Zach took 4th.
"We could not be more excited about the outcome of the event", said John Forse, event organizer. "We like to think of Nelscott as a family event, and this year, the finals had a father/son team and two brother teams."
After the qualifying heats were completed, they ran the first ever paddle in contest at Nelscott Reef. A field of nine vied for a winner takes all 45-minute heat. Twelve waves were caught during the heat, but in the end, Keallii Mamala took the prize, as well as an auto seed with his partner into the 2009 tow in event. Jamie Mitchell took 2nd place, Shane Desmond grabbed 3rd, Mike Parsons 4th, and Gary Linden came in 5th.
"The paddle in was amazing and we were surprised how many waves were actually caught. Almost everyone got a wave in what turned out to be an optimal paddle in day at the reef", said Forse.
After conferring with big wave contest guru, Gary Linden, and based on competitors feedback and spectator enthusiasm, John Forse has decided to integrate the paddle in into future events.
Operating in a three-month holding period, John Forse has proven his local knowledge of the reef he pioneered, with 4 years of perfect calls. Predicting a day in which the surf is large enough to hold the event with weather and wind conditions coinciding with that swell is extremely difficult. However, Forse has been successful in the past 4 years at calling the contest on the best day of the year.
The event was presented by the Chinook Winds Casino in Lincoln City, OR. They also hosted the awards ceremony, where Gary Linden was honored with presenting the awards for the evening. Also honored were the Pacific Northwest Judges, Andrew Kell, who performed safety all day, and all of the sponsors that made the event happen. The ceremony moved to the bar, where surfers and spectators looked at photos from the day and celebrated a perfect event.
Founded by Lincoln City resident and Nelscott Pioneer, John Forse, the Nelscott Reef Tow In Classic has always been a grass roots organization. Without the support of the local community and our sponsors, the event would have folded after the first year. The Nelscott Reef Tow In Classic is now the longest consistently running tow in contest in the world. Local sponsors, like the Chinook Winds Casino, have been a major supporter of the event from its conception, and we are proud to have their continued support. Other local sponsors that have, and continue to play a vital role in the event include the Nelscott Reef Surf Shop, Westshore Motel, Oregon Sports Authority, Russo Surfboards, Tanger Outlets, Station 3 Embroidery, and the Anchor Inn. New Oregon sponsors this year are Blowsion, DaKine, and Bob Lamphere�s Beaverton Honda. Out of State support comes from K38 Rescue, Fringe Clothing, and Banquet.
The Nelscott Reef Tow In Classic is the only tow in contest on the North American continent and Oregon�s only professional surf event.
LINCOLN CITY, Oregon, November 26, 2008, Behemoth, LLC changed the contest status to Green as a large swell is forecast for the coming weekend. The 2008 Nelscott Reef Tow In Classic will be held Sunday November, 30th.
This marks the second time this year that the status has changed � the first was a change to yellow in October, as an early swell marked watching. That swell ended up having too much wind from the wrong direction. After watching the forecast closely over the past few days, John Forse decided to make the call this morning.
�There are two storms on tap - the first looks to be plagued with bad wind, but the second looks to be a long duration swell with offshore winds�, said John Forse, event organizer.
The current forecast has the first swell arriving on Friday November 28 with a swell size of 14 feet at 14 seconds. The wind looks pretty bad, but then cleans up on Saturday and Sunday. The forecast for Sunday is for 15-foot swell at 18 seconds and winds are out of the east. This should make for some epic conditions on the Oregon Coast.
The contest has a 3-month holding period, October 1 through December 31st, during which a 48-hour notice is given for contest green light. Since this is a Holiday week, and a consistent forecast for good conditions for Sunday, Forse decided to make the call early. Forse wanted to give competitors, media, sponsors, and spectators as much time as possible to get up to Oregon.
The swell and weather conditions look to excellent for the first Nelscott Reef paddle in contest. There will be a one-hour heat before the finals, where surfers will be competing for the biggest wave of the heat.
The following teams are confirmed and looking forward to coming to Lincoln City Oregon for the fourth annual event.
LINCOLN CITY, Oregon, October 27th, 2008 � Behemoth, LLC changed the contest status back to red last Friday after a week of monitoring the first big swell of the season. A large swell was forecast for Saturday, but unfortunately, the wind did not want to cooperate.
Although the holding period for the 2008 Nelscott Reef Tow In Classic began on October 1st, Good swell and wind combinations usually start in November. Saturday�s forecast called for a 15-foot swell at 16 seconds, similar to previous years contest conditions. The wind was forecast at 10-15 MPH out of the North, which is just too much wind to hold the event. It ended up being the right call, as Saturday�s swell came with the associated wind out of the North, making for solid surf for a short while in the morning. The wind picked up as forecast, and blew out the conditions quickly.
"We are looking for a solid swell with offshore winds for the event. This was just too much wind, from the wrong direction, to call the event", said John Forse, event organizer. "We have lots of time left in the holding period, so I am sure we will have a better opportunity coming up".
Some pros, anticipating the swell, however, were not disappointed in making their trip up to Oregon. Although it wasn�t a contest day, they towed a central coast slab near Nelscott, that had been originally paddled by John Forse and Brian Wichener in the 90's, and left untouched until the recent towsurfing explosion. Heavy sub-sea level pits were had by Greg Long, Mike Parsons, Mark Healy, and Garrett McNamara, as well as a lot of sick wipeouts. One excruciating fall in particular sent hellman Garrett to the emergency room to get patched up after his encounter with the reef.
First Ever Nelscott Reef Paddle In Contest Announced!
LINCOLN CITY, Oregon, July 18th, 2008 � Behemoth, LLC is proud to announce the 2008 Nelscott Reef Tow In Classic lineup and a new paddle in contest, a first for the Classic. Coming off three years of perfect contest conditions, Behemoth has raised the bar for the 2008 contest. Once again, the world�s best tow in surfers will converge in Lincoln City, OR for the one-day event to be held sometime between October 1 and December 31st, 2008.
This years contest will once again attract some of the biggest names in the sport. Previous winners of the event, Jake and Zach Wormhoudt and Garrett McNamara and Kealii Mamala will return, competing against such names as Brad Gerlach and Mike Parsons, Greg and Rusty Long, Tyler and Russell Smith, and an Irish team of Alistair Mennie and Andrew Cotton.
This year there will be 16 teams competing for the prize money, rather than 20 teams from previous years. The smaller field will allow more waves per contestant and minimize interference.
New this year is the introduction of a paddle in contest, to be held in the one hour slot between the preliminary heats of the Tow contest and the finals. The winner of the paddle contest will get a seed, along with their tow partner, to the 2009 Nelscott Reef Tow In Classic, plus a cash purse.
Behemoth has always advocated the philosophy that 'Big Wave credentials are established by paddling big waves not by the simple purchase of a PWC' and is a requirement to be a competent and safe tow in surfer, a philosophy shared by many if not all of the pros. The addition of the paddle in event is a natural extension of that philosophy.
"This is the best way for the locals to prove that they have what it takes to compete against the best in the world", says Forse. "The winner of the paddle contest will get a seed, along with their tow partner, to the 2009 Nelscott Reef Tow In Classic, plus a cash purse".
Behemoth has set aside half of the available slots for the locals. The locals will have their work cut out for them, with the field of ten surfers vying for the biggest and baddest wave they can paddle into. The pros competing in this year�s paddle in event will be Zach Wormhoudt, Mike Parsons, Shane Desmond, Greg Long, and Al Mennie. Local Oregonian invitees are Steve Harnack, Tim Hinton, Dan Hasselschwert, Jay Senewald, and Jason Garding.
The contest has a 3-month holding period to allow for the best possible combination of large surf and weather. During that time, John Forse, the pioneer of Nelscott Reef, monitors the forecasts and when conditions look right, he makes the call, which is a 48- hour notice of the start of the event. For three years in a row, his call has been the right one, with each year bringing bigger and better conditions on the contest day. The 2007 event was split between 2 days, with waves up to 50 feet on some of the sets.
The Nelscott Reef Tow In Classic, unofficially marks the opening of the Pacific big wave season. With the absence of La Nina, which plagued the North Pacific with poor conditions last year, conditions could be epic again.
Behemoth, LLC will be refreshing their web page, www.nelscottreef.com , for the 2008 contest in the upcoming weeks. The new page will contain all the information on this years contest, including a real time contest traffic light. Photos and videos from the previous years will also be available.

We stayed for Christmas, and had a lovely holiday. Once the holiday passed, I began to feel restless to move again, but was ambivalent about going back to California. Let's just be honest – I've never been able to figure out why I left Greece. I guess when you find a place where you're never wishing you were somewhere else, that place becomes the somewhere else for every place you go after that.
At any rate, it wasn't until we encountered a variety of frustrating setbacks that I started wishing we were back home. I missed our birds. I missed our library (we'd only had it put together for a couple of months before hitting the road). I missed our friends and family. And since the Universe knows I'm a little engine that runs on spite, the Universe kept on setting up roadblocks to ensure that once we DID finally make it home, I would be grateful.
We've been sick since – hell, I can't even remember. I know it started with a cold on Halloween, and just got worse from there. We're still sick, but it feels like we've turned a corner. At any rate, when a window of opportunity opened up for us to leave a week ago, we took it. We didn't even get to say goodbye to everyone – we had to hit the road while Josh could breathe, while the skies were clear, while the car was running, while we could. I'm so grateful to our friends and family in Missouri who kept us so comfortable and made us feel so loved during our trip. I think that's why I was so ambivalent about leaving until it looked like we wouldn't be able to – we were happy and cozy and yes we were sick, but not sick and alone and working twelve hours days like usual. We couldn't. It was logistically impossible.
So we made a break for it when we could. Grandma packed us a lunch and we said goodbye to whomever we could find and we hit the road and immediately got stuck in Kansas City traffic on I-70. A shortcut we were trying ended up taking two hours longer than the normal route would have, which we found hilarious at the time. By the next day, halfway through the trip, delays were no longer so hilarious. Josh was in a lot of pain. I kept eyeballing the little towns we passed, assessing their emergency medical facilities in case I could convince him to stop.
I couldn't. He kept going. We made it home and Josh staggered into the house and the next morning we were in the emergency room hoping hoping hoping that his lungs were clear. Thankfully they were. A week later he's still in pain, still coughing, but it's better. Not great, but better.
The birds took a couple of days to realize we were back, but they've been visiting every morning. The house felt huge and foreign and is back to feeling small and cozy. The weather has been incredible – we've been blessed with a week of 70 degree days, warm enough to open all the windows and let the fresh air blow out four months of stagnant energy. I've been slowly cleaning all the corners while catching up on work, and thinking about this year's garden. The library is still the best room in the house – it just feels good to walk in there. I almost think I can hear the books communing in there.

... research by me and other academics indicates that guidance increases analyst following and cuts down on unwelcome surprises, which in turn reduces stock price volatility and lessens the threat and consequences of shareholder lawsuits.
Providing earnings guidance—publicly releasing managerial forecasts of a company's profits—is controversial. Warren Buffett has been a frequent critic. The Business Roundtable and the CFA Institute (the financial analysts' trade group) have jointly concluded that it's an unproductive and wasteful exercise that leaves executives too focused on short-term results. A team of McKinsey consultants has determined that guidance is misguided. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is against it, too.
Yet more than a thousand publicly traded corporations in the United States, including many of the biggest, issue such forecasts every year, if not every quarter. What to make of this contradiction? To cut to the chase: The guidance givers are for the most part right, their do-gooder critics mainly wrong. Earnings guidance doesn't work miracles, but research by me and other academics indicates that guidance increases analyst following and cuts down on unwelcome surprises, which in turn reduces stock price volatility and lessens the threat and consequences of shareholder lawsuits. No mean feat.

Business support extended to more sectors
The Co-Funded Payroll Scheme (CFPS) has been extended to additional sectors for claims for January 2022 (to be made in February).
Following a review by the Council of Ministers, the Minister for Treasury and Resources has extended CFPS eligibility to include wholesale and retail businesses, hairdressing and other beauty treatments, driving schools, sports activities (including gyms), physical well-being activities, sports, recreation and cultural education and childcare.
The Minister for Treasury and Resources, Deputy Susie Pinel, said: "The CFPS is the most effective tool we have to respond to the impact that public health measures have had on businesses. When we brought back the scheme in December, we committed to keeping it under review to ensure it was able to provide support to all the sectors that were severely impacted, and this latest change shows we have done this.
"It is intended that this is the final extension of the Scheme. The CFPS, together with other business support schemes, has protected the livelihoods of 15,000 Islanders throughout the pandemic. Now that public health measures have been withdrawn, we are entering a new phase of the pandemic and we look forward to a brighter year ahead, where the economy is able to operate free from restrictions."
The Minister for Economic Development, Tourism, Sport and Culture, Senator Lyndon Farnham, said: "I am very pleased that we have been able to extend support to these sectors following further engagement with the business community. Providing support throughout the pandemic has been essential to retain businesses and protect jobs."
Eligible businesses can claim up to £1,250 per employee if their income for January 2022 fell by more than 20% compared to January 2020.

On a special night and time — Saturday, February 2nd at 11pm eastern — SCFL returns with ENTER THE PANDA.
After the shocking results from last week, we have a new SCFL Pro World Championship holder and it's… The Great Lopkin (Xylophonist Bianchi)!?! We head into this week with more questions than answers, knowing that Wim Nijman will be taking advantage of his refereeing a tournament and will get his world title shot against Xylophonist Bianchi.
Of course, there are questions that linger after last week's show, like did Discussion Davis actually tap out to The Great Lopkin's clutch, is Wim really a bad ref, or did Wim have an ulterior motive? We'll find out more this week as Wim takes on Lopkin for the title.
Plus, to celebrate the upcoming Super Bowl, we'll see a special, second scramble match, this time with the competitor's vying for a shot at Technology Cooper and his SCFL Pro US Championship mug.


Miller's research suggests that there are four ways in which people integrate faith and work. We call these different manifestations "the Four E's": Ethics, Expression, Experience, and Enrichment.
Ethics accents doing the right the good, and the fitting. Its two sub-orientations are Self (personal values, ethical standards) and Community (business ethics, social responsibility).
Expression looks at verbal and non-verbal communication of faith at work. Its two sub-orientations are Verbal (discussion of faith, evangelization) and Non-verbal (symbols, attire, or actions).
Experience involves questions of vocation, calling, meaning, and purpose. Its two sub-orientations are Outcome (work as means, purpose/meaning) and Process/Activity (work as end, calling).
Enrichment focuses on practices such as healing, prayer, meditation, and transformation. Its two sub-orientations are Individual (devotional practices, individual prayer) and Group (small groups, worship communities).
Importantly, this is a descriptive observation, not a normative one; not everyone thinks they ought to integrate their faith and work. Additionally, The Integration Profile is ecumenical in nature, designed to support all worldviews (be they theistic or secular). As an assessment, The Integration Profile is designed to be used in a multi-faith work environment, whether in a publicly traded company, a privately owned small business, an educational institution, or even a nonprofit. Use in these contexts will allow management to understand, measure, and respond constructively to the increasing amount of religious diversity among employees and to address the growing impact of issues surrounding workplace faith/religion/spirituality.
Though this integration may be subconscious, the Integration Profile theory suggests that each person tends to have a natural bent toward one of these four expressions as their primary avenue of integrating faith and work. Crucially, each of the Four E's is equally valid - no one manifestation is better or worse than another.

by Moira Alexander in Software
Troubleshooting issues for remote employees has become more complex for many tech support teams, which may now work remotely too. These remote support tools can make the task easier.

It's estimated that between 25-30% of the U.S. workforce will likely work from home one or more days a week once the COVID-19 pandemic ends. This means tech support and help desk workers, many of whom may also be working remotely, will face challenges providing adequate support.
These days, because tech support teams themselves can't be physically onsite to support all of the work from home (WFH) teams, they need access to the right tools to limit service disruption. With more companies recognizing the need to better address disaster preparedness, business continuity planning and security concerns, remote tech support has never been more in focus. As a result, the help desk solutions market is expected to hit $11 billion by 2023. Cloud-based remote support tools, such as the ones we'll look at here, can help tech support teams get to the bottom of issues and provide better service to employees with less disruption.
Remote support vs. onsite support
Remote tech support is virtual support that enables IT teams to help employees and customers troubleshoot issues and deliver support from a distance over the internet, without being onsite. It's as effective as traditional onsite support, and it provides some essential benefits. For companies, remote support is cost-effective, and there's less overhead for maintaining office space, associated costs and infrastructure. Employees also benefit by accessing 24/7 support from anywhere in the world, which decreases service disruption while improving productivity.

Existing infrastructure and legacy system limitations.
The size and complexities of your workforce.
Current processes and policies.
Vendor reputation, stability and the support they provide for their solution.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common hematologic malignancy in adults with a 5-year survival rate of around 25% following diagnosis. Around 50% of patients who receive standard high-dose chemotherapy relapse after remission. This has created an impetus to explore novel immune-based therapies to combat heterogeneity of the disease.

New York Relaxes Marijuana Laws
If the police in New York City catch you smoking pot in public after September 1st, 2018, you probably will not be arrested. That's what the New York Police Department (NYPD) announced in June.
The new rule is that if the New York cops catch you smoking pot in public, you'll be issued a summons. You'll have to appear in court, be represented by a drug crimes lawyer in New York, and you'll face a possible fine of up to $100.
Of course, there are several exceptions to the new policy.
WHAT ARE THE EXCEPTIONS TO THE NEW POT POLICY?
Public pot smokers who have no identification or who have either an outstanding warrant or a history of violent behavior will still be arrested, and anyone whose pot smoking constitutes a clear and present risk to the public's safety will also be taken into custody.
Still, the new policy is – according to some – revolutionary. "Today is a day where we take a step into the future," Mayor Bill de Blasio told reporters at a news conference on June 19th.
Despite the "relaxation" of marijuana enforcement, recreational cannabis is still against the law in New York, and the penalties in this state for illegally selling, transporting, or cultivating marijuana remain some of the nation's harshest.
IF YOU ARE CHARGED WITH A DRUG CRIME, WHERE CAN YOU TURN?
If you are charged with any drug crime on Long Island or in New York City, you must have a good defense lawyer's help at once.
You'll need to speak as swiftly as possible with a criminal defense attorney who will protect your rights and aggressively seek justice on your behalf.
The new pot rules in New York City are the product of an NYPD task force review of the department's marijuana policy. Advocates for legalization, prosecutors, criminal defense lawyers, and criminal justice experts were consulted by the task force as the new policy was developed.
WHAT'S THE CURRENT PUBLIC OPINION REGARDING MARIJUANA LAWS?
Significantly, the new rules were announced only one day before the release of a new survey conducted by the Center for American Progress and the research firm GBA Strategies. Their survey shows that support for ending cannabis prohibition is at an all-time high.
Sixty-eight percent of the voters in the United States now want to end the prohibition of cannabis, according to the results of that survey.
Already, the legalization of marijuana has spread rapidly across the states in the last decade.
WHERE IS CANNABIS LEGAL?
The medical use of cannabis is now legal, with a doctor's recommendation, in 29 states, the District of Columbia, and the territories of Guam and Puerto Rico.
The recreational use of cannabis is now legal in 9 states plus the District of Columbia, and recreational cannabis has been decriminalized in another 13 states plus the U.S. Virgin Islands.
And Canada will legalize marijuana in October of this year. Canadians will be able to consume marijuana recreationally without criminal penalties starting on October 17th.
HAS THE ENFORCEMENT OF POT LAWS TARGETED MINORITIES?
Historically, the state of New York has had a reputation for exceedingly tough drug laws, and the NYPD has been accused of disproportionately targeting minorities for marijuana-related charges.
City Council Member Donovan Richards believes the revised policy is a first step toward ending "decades of targeted enforcement" of marijuana laws that resulted in the denial of college grants and better jobs to many New Yorkers belonging to minorities.
"We have to heal. We have to look for a better path," Mayor de Blasio told the press conference.
WHAT ARE THE PROSECUTORS AND POLICE COMMISSIONER SAYING?
In Manhattan, District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. announced that his office will not pursue pot smoking or possession charges as of August 1st.
In Brooklyn, District Attorney Eric Gonzalez is already declining to prosecute most pot smoking and possession cases.
"We found that in good conscience we could no longer continue to prosecute these cases without any measurable public safety benefit," District Attorney Gonzalez told reporters.
Speaking alongside Mayor de Blasio at the June 19th news conference, New York Police Commissioner James O'Neill claimed that the NYPD "does not target anyone based on race or any other demographic."
The Commissioner said the department handles a high number of complaints from the public about pot smoke and pot smokers, and he admitted that encounters between police officers and pot smokers can be improved.
"The bottom line is, and I've said this probably many times before, the NYPD has no interest in arresting people for marijuana offenses," O'Neill told reporters.
WHAT'S THE CURRENT LEGAL STATUS OF POT IN NEW YORK STATE?
The new policy is projected to reduce the number of arrests in New York City by about 10,000 a year. Tax dollars will be saved, and police officers will have more time to handle more serious crimes.
In a related development, the day before Mayor de Blasio's press conference, State Health Commissioner Howard Zucker announced that the New York State Department of Health will expand the availability of medical marijuana as a substitute for an opioid prescription.
The goal, Zucker said, is to reduce the number of patients who become addicted to opioids after first using the drugs with a doctor's prescription.
In New York, more than 1,600 registered practitioners may prescribe medical cannabis and over 50,000 patients are approved to purchase it at one of 20 New York dispensaries.
SHOULD THE CITY AND STATE DO MORE?
Many, however, are saying that the city and state need to move faster on marijuana legalization – that the current reforms are timid, halfway measures that don't address the core issue of racial disparity in the enforcement of pot laws.
This excerpt from a Forbes magazine column expresses the discontent:
"And as long as we are arresting, criminalizing, or seeking to deter people from consuming marijuana … we are necessarily working against those people and areas of society and industry that most deserve our support."
WHAT IS YOUR RIGHT IF YOU FACE A DRUG CHARGE IN NEW YORK?
And as long as people are arrested on marijuana charges, they are going to need defense lawyers.
If you are charged with possessing or selling pot – or any other drug – on Long Island or anywhere in the New York City area:
1. Get the legal help you need.
2. Contact a criminal defense attorney.
3. You should do it immediately.
If your freedom and your future are at stake, and if you're facing a drug charge in New York, you have the right to quality legal advice and representation – and you'll need to exercise that right without delay.

Pvt Emzie Ernest Waddell
Dunklin County, Missouri, USA
27 Nov 1943 (aged 19)
Tablets Of The Missing ~ Army
Emzie served as a Private, 853rd Engineer Battalion, Aviation, U.S. Army Air Force during World War II.
He resided in Pemiscot County, Missouri prior to the war.
He enlisted in the Army on February 8, 1943 at Jefferson Barracks, Missouri. He was noted, at the time of his enlistment, as being employed as a Farm hand and also as Single, without dependents.
Emzie was a passenger on the HMT Rohna.
The Rohna and four other troop ships left Oran in French Algeria with cargo and troops. Off Béjaïa, Algeria the convoy was attacked by an estimated 60 German Luftwaffe Heinkel 177's. One of the 177's, piloted by Hans Dochtermann, released a glide bomb that hit Rohna on her port side and she eventually sank.
1,138 men were killed, including 1,015 U.S. personnel. The attack is the largest loss of US troops at sea due to enemy action in a single incident. 35 U.S. troops of the 2,000 originally embarked later died of wounds.
Emzie was declared "Missing In Action" in this sinking during the war.
He was awarded the Purple Heart.
Emzie also has a "cenotaph" in the Sumach Cemetery, Holcomb, Missouri.
