A few years ago, while working on the MOTHER 1+2 translation, I made a hack that turned my custom Easy Ring into a Hard Ring. Reid then played the game live for everyone to see here. It was a lot of fun to see in action!
You can download the IPS patch here!
If you're interested, all the programming code and tools I used for my MOTHER 1+2 translation are available here. Even the programming for the Easy Ring/Hard Ring stuff is in there if you're interested at seeing how it works or if you want to mess around with it yourself!
With damage being done like that, is the game even playable?
^Probably not… With no one to revive Ninten at the point being shown, he's just not going to win. I could see it maybe being somewhat playable with multiple party members that can revive, but that amount of damage is just ludicrous. Let's ask Vegeta what he thinks.
That pic better not be from the final release, that's unplayable!
Is it possible to translate Mother3 with these tools?
One idea you can do if you want a challenge is don't equip the ring until you have more party members, THEN see how well you can last against a mob of enemies or something.
Nesta: No, these are completely for Mother 1+2 only.
Dolls can hit 16341 damage?! They are playing with power, PORTABLE POWER!!!
Isn't there a way to make enemies have final blows? If so, this would make for a good brutal mode hack. All enemies even coil snakes have final blows which can kill one party member at random. Sure would make a 4 enemy fight more interesting.
Wow, this could've been a neat piracy protection!
Seeing as 16341's so close to half of 32767, or a quarter of 65535, one of which is likely the maximum enemy Offense, it makes me wonder what kind of documentation there is out there on EB Zero's battle logic and formulas.
I feel like this was one of the last Actual Fanfests, even though it was an April Fool's joke and the community botched together their own Mother fest at last minute.
Then they turned it into the EarthBound Fanfest.
I kept asking about it on #earthbound but nobody knew anything.
Does this version give you BOTH the easy ring and the hard ring? Or just the hard ring?
Actually, off the top of my head I'm not sure. It might have both the effects of the Easy Ring (more exp, money, etc.) while also having the super strong enemies effect. I've never beaten an enemy to find out, heh.
I'd love to put this on my bro's ROM and see him get murdered by a Mr. Batty.


I'm starting to consider that all illness and injury is created in human consciousness, and if that's true then we're in control of our lives. We're responsible for everything. For some of us, and I'd suggest for most of us, this responsibility is too great. I've believed for some time that we're all connected, but looking back on my writing I sense that the words were powerless. I was parroting someone else's belief system, I had become the 1%, my ideas were surfing the wave of another's.
I want to be Simon, a well of fresh data and creativity. Every day what I think I know about healing and working with spirit is diminished. I have a library of amazing stories, so many that I forget some. Inspirational and educational in the moment, but by tomorrow, I'll have a new story. I know nothing.


This story pertains to our friends on the other side of the pond, but could someday affect Americans. New laws in the United Kingdom are being voted in Parliament to ban the use of current-era lighting equipment due to its energy efficiency.
No current alternate theater lighting option currently exists. The lack of efficient lighting source would eliminate EDM performances as we know them. Including any type of performance dependent on high powered light systems. The new estimate by UK Theatre and SOLT – 1.8 billion Euros, which is over five times higher than the original estimate – 180 million Euros.
The laws are to take effect on September 1st, 2020 and will affect all venues in the UK. Industry leaders are pushing for an exception to be made for venues since the law would be catastrophic. Something that has been ingrained in European culture for generations.
The United Kingdom is the birthplace of many genres, sub-genres, and other forms of the performing arts. An instance such as this begs the question, is our pastime worth the ecological fuel used to power our experiences? If you said yes like I did, then it seems plausible enough to understand the future requires innovation and work to sustain what we do now.
With society urging more efficiency in all fields of study like automotive, aeronautics, and even financial, stages are essentially a giant entity which consumes a significant amount of energy: to provide us with amazing visuals and sound. If anyone has any super-secret highly efficient light system in the works, you can save the European theaters.
There is one thing I have learned in 25 years of life, and that is human ingenuity shines the brightest out of pressure. Only time will tell which direction this story will go.

Were you ever making a text adventure and you were stuck in the middle of the story, and either 1) didn't know where to take the story, or 2) didn't know what tasks you should have the player complete in order to advance through the adventure?
I was stuck on #2 for a while. #1 was an interesting ride: I had a premise and developed in my head where I wanted to go with it, and it kind of evolved fluidly into a pretty solid story outline as I made the game. #2 was where I was stuck. I have the game about 20% to 25% complete (just a guess, as I'm stil not sure of the scale of the game), but it was so large that I divided the game into "Days" so it doesn't overwhelm the adventurer. The player must complete specific tasks of one day in order to advance to the next one. The first "day" has a few tasks that can be carried over, but as the game has become better-defined, it seemed logical to make sure that certain tasks be completed, so that future tasks aren't "closed off" and the game be made unwinnable.
The point is, that I needed to find certain tasks to drive the game forward. So for a while, the development was at a standstill. I had finally come up with a task, but needed subtasks and puzzles for the character to figure out. Again, my ability to think of how to do this kept me stuck for a while. Eventually, I added a new character to the game, who fit in quite perfectly. Now I had some direction, and although there were a few things I had to resolve, I got the game progress rolling again!
Did anyone else have programming (OR STORY, or both) blocks like this? And do you have advice to offer other game designeers based on what you did to get out of it?

Suspicion Grows As Experts Suggest That Amazon Fires Were Intentional
John Vibes, Truth Theory
As news reaches around the world that the Amazon rainforest is burning at an unprecedented rate, people are beginning to ask questions about who is responsible. In the past week, since August 15, over 9,500 new forest fires were reported in Brazil, most of them spread across the Amazon basin.
According to Brazil's National Institute for Space Research, over 74,000 forest fires were started in Brazil this year, which is more than double the 40,000 fires that were recorded in 2018. This represents an 83 percent increase in wildfires when compared to the same time last year, making it the most fires recorded in a single year since the Brazilian government started tracking such matters.
http://twitter.com/JamesMelville/status/1164626860208283648
Even before this ominous development, things were looking pretty bleak for the Amazon. Last month, Truth Theory reported on new data from the National Institute for Space Research in Brazil, showing that the region's rainforest saw an 80% reduction between 2006 and 2012. The report also noted that last year, deforestation increased to the highest levels seen in a decade, with a 13% increase that year alone.
Experts and activists have suggested a variety of reasons for the recent burning, but the common theme is that the government is allowing the rainforest to be ravaged by farmers and corporations for their own personal gain.
The Amazon rainforest provides 20% of the world's oxygen. People are deliberately starting fires in effort to illegally deforest land for cattle ranching. President Bolsonaro is letting this slide!! #AmazonRainforest #PrayforAmazonas https://t.co/9pWraNgWu6
— hannah beatriz ⚔ (@beehaviourLIVE) August 21, 2019
Christian Poirier, program director for the conservationist group, "Amazon Watch," believes that these fires were started intentionally for the purpose of clearing space for cattle ranchers.
"The unprecedented fires ravaging the Amazon are an international tragedy and a dangerous contribution to climate chaos. This devastation is directly related to President Bolsonaro's anti-environmental rhetoric, which erroneously frames forest protections and human rights as impediments to Brazil's economic growth," Poirier said in a statement.
Worldwide pleas to save the Amazon as fires decimate rainforest.@annenbcnews reports. pic.twitter.com/5rYHh7DcvJ
— NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt (@NBCNightlyNews) August 22, 2019
The newly elected president Jair Bolsonaro campaigned on a misguided platform of stimulating economic growth by opening up the Amazon to industry. Since coming into office, his administration has significantly scaled back environmental protections, essentially giving a green light to loggers, miners, and ranchers to violently expel native tribes from their lands and destroy the local ecosystem.
Poirier believes that the current president's rhetoric encourages ranchers "to commit arson with wanton impunity."
According to a Yale study, cattle ranching is responsible for roughly 80% of the Amazon's deforestation, and much of the beef that is produced in the region is eventually shipped off to Europe and North America.
Amazon Watch believes that ranchers organized a coordinated "Fire Day" to set the Amazon on fire, CBS News reported.
Just a gentle reminder that the fires in the amazon are intentional. It's not a forest fire type situation. It's an intentional setting ablaze of the forest by the fascist brazilian govt + agrobusiness & ranching oligarchs. Wording matters. Don't hide who is doing this & why.
— Wendi Muse (@MuseWendi) August 21, 2019
Amazon Watch is not alone. Amnesty International secretary-general Kumi Naidoo also made a statement blaming the current condition of the Amazon on the controversial president.
"The responsibility to stop the wildfires that have been raging in the Amazon rainforest for several weeks now lies squarely with President Bolsonaro and his government. They must change their disastrous policy of opening up the rainforest for destruction, which is what has paved the way for this current crisis," Naidoo said.
Ane Alencar, the scientific director of Brazilian NGO IPAM (Institute of Environmental Research in Amazonia), told Mongabay that these fires were exacerbated by the deforestation that had already taken place. This is because with fewer trees, the dry season in the Amazon become dryer, and thus more dangerous.
"The fire that we're seeing today is a fire that's directly related to deforestation," Alencar said.
Bolsonaro has responded to the crisis by blaming NGO's and "Indians" for the fires, and insisting that the problem is not important enough to deserve government resources.
"There aren't the resources," Bolsonaro told reporters, adding that, "This chaos has arrived."
In another interview about the recent fires, Bolsonaro compared himself to the Captain Planet villain, "Captain Chainsaw."
"I used to be called Captain Chainsaw. Now I am Nero, setting the Amazon aflame," Bolsonaro said sarcastically.
Furthermore, documents leaked from the Brazilian government show that the current administration planned on building infrastructure projects through the Amazon as way of pushing back against international pressure to put protections on the forest.
A PowerPoint slide leaked from a government presentation about these infrastructure plans said that, "Development projects must be implemented on the Amazon basin to integrate it into the rest of the national territory in order to fight off international pressure for the implementation of the so-called 'Triple A' project. To do this, it is necessary to build the Trombetas River hydroelectric plant, the Óbidos bridge over the Amazon River, and the implementation of the BR-163 highway to the border with Suriname."
One of the tactics listed in the document was framing the Amazon crisis as a wedge issue to divide liberals and conservatives. If the destruction of the Amazon can be reduced to a simple "political opinion," the legitimate concerns from activists and experts can be easily dismissed as nothing more than a dissenting political opinion.

Featured>How Camden City School District is Persevering Through the Pandemic to Provide Nutrition Education to Students
How Camden City School District is Persevering Through the Pandemic to Provide Nutrition Education to Students
By Benita Gingerella for FoodService Director
During normal times, students at Camden City School District in Camden, N.J., are able to learn about healthy food through the nutrition team's daily efforts in the cafeteria. With schools shut down due to the pandemic, however, the district has switched gears to bring nutrition education and fresh produce to students' homes, an vital mission given the district's location in a food desert.
"We don't have many stores where families could essentially go to buy a lot of fresh produce items," says Senior Manager of Nutrition Arlethia Brown.
The district began providing curbside meal service when COVID-19 hit in the spring and has since pivoted to providing weekly fresh produce deliveries to students' homes through the federal Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program and other vendors. Knowing that this may be the first time using certain types of produce for many families, the district is also working to create resources that teach about nutrition while also ensuring families can make the most out of the produce they're receiving.
The produce bags delivered to students' homes contain pamphlets with facts and recipe ideas related to what's being sent home. The nutrition team has also shared tips and tricks for what to do with the produce on social media.
"We've just been sharing like the pictures of the items and little tidbits on what to do with [them]," says Brown.
Students also receive nutrition education videos through the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program in partnership with nonprofit organization FoodCorps and the Jersey Fresh Farm-to-School Program. The videos typically showcase quick recipe demos with whatever local produce is being highlighted that month and also show ways to best use and preserve fresh produce.

Q: Managing tabular within \mdframed environment I am working with the \mdframed environment to create boxes in a book. I need to insert tables or figures within the boxes, and I have the understanding that floats do not work very well within a frame. I did use tabular with \captionof, as suggested in this other thread:
mdframed box containing text captioned tables and figures
The problem is, nevertheless that the table can then be split between two pages. So I come back to my original questions. Is there a way to put a float (table or figure) within a \mdframed environment? And if not, how can I make sure that tables do not split over pages?
Thank you for your answers!!

The number of scarlet fever and measles cases reported in Kent has hit worrying new levels in the past year.
Public Health England repeatedly warned of measles outbreaks across England in 2018 and cases in Kent alone have hit their highest level in five years.
The increase in cases has been linked to outbreaks in Europe and has particularly affected teenagers and young adults who missed out on their MMR vaccine when they were younger.
But perhaps more worryingly, cases of scarlet fever hit their highest level since available records began in 2010.
Scarlet fever is a very contagious, seasonal bacterial illness that usually presents with a sore throat, fever, headaches, and a rosy rash that generally starts on a patient's chest.
It mainly affects children and the sickness usually peaks between December and May, meaning we are now in its prime season.
There were 129 suspected cases of measles reported to Public Health England (PHE) in 2018.
This was almost triple the 47 reported in 2017, and the highest number in a year since 199 cases in 2013.
According to PHE, between January 1 and October 31 last year, there were 913 laboratory-confirmed measles cases across the whole of England, the most recent published figures.
This is a steep rise in cases compared to 259 lab-confirmed measles cases in the whole of 2017.
Anyone who has not received two doses of MMR vaccine is at risk, with PHE encouraging anyone who is not sure if they are fully vaccinated to check with their GP and get up to date if necessary.
Registered medical practitioners in England and Wales have a statutory duty to notify their local authority or local Health Protection Team of suspected cases of certain infectious diseases.
The figures show there were a record high of 1,143 cases of scarlet fever reported in Kent in 2018, up from 362 in 2017.
PHE suggested that the increase in cases in scarlet fever was partly due to more infections, but also partly due to more awareness of the condition leading to better reporting.
Scarlet fever is caused by Group A Streptococcus bacteria which is commonly found in the throat and nose, and on your skin, however if it gets into parts of the body where bacteria are not usually found, such as the blood, muscle, or the lungs it can cause invasive Group A Streptococcal disease.
Reported scarlet fever cases across the whole country hit a record 31,865 in 2018, up from 17,813 in 2017.
A day or two before the rash appears, many people with measles develop small greyish-white spots in their mouth.
Not everyone with measles has these spots, but if someone has them in addition to the other symptoms listed above or a rash, it's highly likely they have the condition.
The spots will usually last for a few days and the measles rash appears around two to four days after the initial symptoms and normally fades after about a week.
You'll usually feel most ill on the first or second day after the rash develops.
As for Scarlet fever, symptoms develop within a week of being infected.
Early signs include a sore throat, a headache, a high temperature, swollen glands in the neck and being sick.
This may be followed by a rash on the body, which is made up of pink-red blotches and usually starts on the chest or stomach, a red face and a white or red tongue.
Other infectious diseases reported in Kent included tuberculosis, with 127 cases, mumps, with 174 cases, and whooping cough, 58 cases.
Across England and Wales, there were 2,599 suspected cases of measles reported in 2018, up from 1,692 in 2017.
This was the highest number of reports since 2013, when there were 6,191 cases.
Two of the most severe, but rare, forms of invasive GAS disease are necrotising fasciitis (occasionally described as "the flesh-eating bacteria") and Streptococcal Toxic Shock Syndrome.
There were 663 cases of invasive Group A Streptococcal disease in 2018, the highest number since records began in 2010.
Cases of infectious bloody diarrhoea, commonly associated with Salmonella, Shigella, and Campylobacter bacteria, were also up, with 517 in 2018, up from 405 in 2017.
Legionnaires' Disease was also at a record high.
There were 230 cases in Kent of the serious pneumonia caused by the Legionella bacteria, found in water droplets from a contaminated sources such as air conditioning systems and spa pools.


Anna Calvi headed up night of powerful music at the Olympia, Getintothis' Lucy McLachlan found a slight lull in the line up.
How many times have you been raring to go for the trek up to the Olympia to find out there has been a venue change to Arts Club or the Academy.
We did wonder when we saw the venues for the 6 Music Festival if these big cats knew what they were in for when booking up massive cavernous venues like Camp and Furnace and the Olympia.
For one it was the line ups. This writer has had the same 7 bands in a Spotify playlist since the beginning of the year and beyond and was over the moon to hear 5 of those were playing this very festival. But was then bewildered at the venue sizes being a tad off.
For example,. we had Queen Zee, The Mysterines, Red Rum Club and Zuzu crammed into the Cavern on Thursday. Four names who have easily each headlined their own shows at much bigger venues in the city.
She Drew The Gun just announced their biggest UK headline tour to date playing the O2 Academy. Plus the last time we saw Bodega around these parts was in Birkenhead Library in the sweatiest heat you can possibly imagine.
And here we are in the gigantic and always cold Olympia. We're going in for the complete opposite here, still wondering if 6 Music have researched Liverpool's music venues. To be something special this gig could have been in the Arts Club loft or District. We're wondering how it's going to go down.
She Drew The Gun kicked off the night playing to a decent crowd, but not entirely full venue. Being the 'local' act personally we were surprised they were on first, but roaring through Resister, Something for the Pain and Wolf and Bird, you wouldn't think Louisa Roach was resting for tonsillitis just the day before.
The crowd are obviously appreciative and half way through the back there's a group dancing and singing along. Two songs are introduced as being about the capitalist world we now appear to live in. But Resister Reprise was when Louisa came to life, a personal favourite and almost call to arms to all of my feminist sisters and brothers she's out from behind the guitar, fists in the air, it's inspiring to watch.
Bursting full of energy the whole band are bouncing and pounding away. It feels like the majority of their debut album was played from Jack In Titanic to How Did This Happen, Boxes For The Move to Name Escape, Truth is Not Punishment and Gyrate.
Bodega's set seemed to really captivate the audience with constant dancing and energy on stage.
And then we had a long wait for Marika Hackman and the energy seemed to disappear… At this point we're wondering if the line up should have been the other way around?
Marika Hackman announces that they hadn't played in a while. Yet they were preceding two bands who are slogging it on the gig circuit. After the anti Capitalist party She Drew The Gun and Bodega brought to the night, Marika Hackman seemed quite boring in comparison.
Bodega have lyrics talking of capitalism and every day life, living in a corporate struggle and play quite often around the North West. They got the audience involved and interested. She Drew The Gun are obviously known in Merseyside, have politically charged lyrics, also talking a lot about capitalism.
Marika Hackman, seemed a little generic and bland in comparison. Don't get us wrong, the music was lovely, daydreamy and at times brooding and shoegazey. It just felt like perhaps they were on the wrong line up. People around us are heard muttering the words middle class…we're wondering what exactly Marika Hackman is bringing to tonight's show.
We're more interested in the half eaten cake left on the TV camera infront of us.
After another long wait, the stage fills with smoke and strobe lights are being tested. The crowd mutters that there were no signs to warn of strobe lighting around the venue. We're still wondering if the night is going to pick up after Bodega, they seemed to bring a party atmosphere that disappeared straight after they left the stage.
However Anna Calvi steps onstage and wow, huge huge vocals and a massive voice both operatic and cinematic.
Her guitar skills are immense. Powerful and chilling. Brooding and enough to make your hairs stand on end. It's a huge sound for one woman and it fills the whole venue, you can see why she was nominated twice for the Mercury Music Prize.
The light show is incredible, way too much smoke and spotlights all focused on Anna Calvi herself. She absolutely owned the Olympia, her vocals and guitar sound filled the entire cavernous room, right to the top, not getting lost in the space once.
When we were worried about the evening getting lost, this certainly picked it back up and pushed it right back into your face. It was one of those performances that stopped you dead on your feet and made you watch. The howl and wail of one guitar was incredibly epic to watch and left you waiting to hear what came next.
When we were worried about the venue choice and the lull in the middle of the set, Anna Calvi changed it all. Pretty powerful stuff, well played 6 Music, well played.

While I try to complete the stories without premium options, they are tempting, especially the outfits in rules of engagement and royal romance. Thank you for such an amazing game.
I love these choice stories. I wish they had more ways for us to get keys and diamonds. Every time I want to get the best version of the story I never have enough diamonds. And when I eat to a good part of the story I can't watch the next chapter because I don't have enough keys.


We agree that attempting to describe the Dodos' sound may be an exercise in futility, but I'll take a shot: jangled, random roots-blues played with acoustic guitar on top of primitive drumming reminiscent of the Beach Boys' Dennis Wilson. Kroeber has a stripped-down kit made of three floor toms and a snare. "You can do away with a lot of technique," he says. His drum fills range from very '60s to very primal. "When Meric and I are jamming in the studio, it's like I'm playing with my hands on a tabletop." The Dodos tour with support — in the past, a vibraphonist; currently, an electric guitarist.

"Eric Gill's 'Art Nonsense'" was the last thing DH Lawrence wrote before he died of tuberculosis in the South of France on 2 March 1930 at the age of 44 – and what is most striking about it is his preoccupation with God.


To fulfill this mission, we focus on issues that are significant to AEG from a business and environmental perspective. In 2010, AEG released a set of eight 2020 Environmental Goals to address these issues and drive measurable progress towards reducing AEG's environmental footprint.
A block heating power plant was installed on the roof of the arena one year ago. The plant generates energy from natural gas on-site and captures waste heat for use in the arena, thereby reducing our greenhouse gas emissions.

Ceremony Sound Effects Ubud, Bali

Bali Ceremony Sounds
Ceremonial Hindu Ambience Bali
Recording ceremony sound effects in Bali
I recently had the opportunity to attend and record a traditional new moon ceremony in Ubud, Bali. Our landlord, who is a local resident, kindly invited us to join her in the ceremony and I knew I had to take advantage of the opportunity to capture the unique sounds of the event.
As soon as we arrived at the temple, I could see that it was going to be a special occasion. The temple was bustling with activity as people of all ages dressed in traditional clothing arrived to offer their prayers and make their offerings. I quickly set up my equipment, including the Soundman OKM II Rock Studio and the TASCAM PCM Recorder DR-07MK, and began recording.
The ceremony began with a procession of young priests carrying holy water and rice. They walked around the temple, stopping to sprinkle the holy water and rice on the attendees as a symbol of purification and blessings. The sound of the water and rice being sprinkled, along with the soft chanting and singing of the priests, created a peaceful and serene atmosphere.
As the ceremony progressed, different groups of people took turns performing different tasks. One group played traditional instruments such as gamelans and gongs, while others sang and prayed. The sounds of the instruments and the singing created a beautiful and harmonious soundscape that was truly unique and special.
One of the highlights of the ceremony was the moment when everyone lit their offerings and placed them in front of the temple. The sound of hundreds of people lighting their offerings simultaneously was truly breathtaking. The flickering lights and the sound of the offerings being placed created a truly magical and otherworldly atmosphere.
As the ceremony came to a close, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the opportunity to have witnessed and recorded such a special event. The sounds of the ceremony, from the traditional instruments and singing to the holy water and rice, have been captured and are now available in my Ceremony Sound Effect Library.
This library is a perfect resource for anyone interested in the sounds of traditional ceremonies, particularly those in Bali. Sound designers, film makers and anyone interested in the unique sounds of the island will find this library to be a valuable addition to their collection. It is my hope that by sharing these recordings, I am able to bring a piece of Bali's rich culture and tradition to a wider audience.

Company eyeing LUS opens Lafayette 'outreach center'
NextGEN, the company that wants to operate and manage Lafayette Utilities Center, is reaching out to residents with a downtown presence.
Company eyeing LUS opens Lafayette 'outreach center' NextGEN, the company that wants to operate and manage Lafayette Utilities Center, is reaching out to residents with a downtown presence.

Here's a look at what's trending right now at theadvertiser.com Caitlin Jacob, Daily Advertiser

A company that wants to manage and operate Lafayette Utilities System is making its case to residents with billboards, a Facebook page and an outreach center downtown.
NextGEN Utility Systems, an affiliate of Bernhard Capital Partners, says it would pay Lafayette $140 million cash, assume $184 million in LUS debt, lower residential electrical rates 10 percent the first three years of its management contract and locate its company headquarters in Lafayette, while still making a profit, company officials said recently.
The company is proposing a 40-year contract.
No action has been taken by the Lafayette City-Parish Council or Lafayette Public Utilities Authority, which oversee LUS. There has been little support for the idea on the council and LPUA and, so far, in the public.
Among the unanswered questions about the proposal is whether a vote of the public is needed or if the council and LPUA have the final say.
But that isn't stopping NextGEN from taking its case to the public.
This week, NextGEN opened a community outreach center at 227 Jefferson St. in the Omni Center in downtown Lafayette.
RELATED: Bernhard's LUS proposal raises questions for council
"Hopefully, this is the beginning of an office that we'll have in Lafayette for a very long time," NextGEN Director Jeff Baudier said.
The center, he said, will be open from noon to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday to get information to the public, answer their questions, listen to their concerns and get ideas for what the city can do with a $140 million influx of cash.
More than 100 people visited the center, Baudier said Thursday. One of their biggest concerns is whether the company will buy LUS.
"Ownership and ultimate control of LUS will always remain in Lafayette," he said. "We will not have the ability to set utility rates. That remains with LPUA and (Lafayette) Consolidated Government."

NextGEN also set up a Facebook page this week, has erected billboards throughout the city and conducted a telephone survey. The billboards exclaim NextGEN is making a "$1.3 billion offer to Lafayette."
Baudier said the company has people calling Lafayette residents to provide information about the proposal, gather feedback and gauge interest.

Q: getting data in specified format for flot bar charts I am trying ti plot a flot bar chart and I am unable to fetch the data in the way which flot requires.please correct me where I am doing mistake? My query returns results like
A-250,B-100,C-300 etc.
My code is shown below :
<?php
require_once('../../Connections/finalkms.php');

mysql_select_db($database_finalkms, $finalkms);
$query_getmaincatdetails = "SELECT `EquipmentMainCatagory`,count(`EquipmentMainCatagory`) FROM `assetinfo` group by EquipmentMainCatagory HAVING EquipmentMainCatagory !=''";
$getmaincatdetails = mysql_query($query_getmaincatdetails, $finalkms) or die(mysql_error());
$row_getmaincatdetails = mysql_fetch_assoc($getmaincatdetails);
$totalRows_getmaincatdetails = mysql_num_rows($getmaincatdetails);

         for ($i = 1; $i <=$totalRows_getmaincatdetails ; $i++)
         {

          $ticks[] = array( $i,(int)$row_getmaincatdetails['EquipmentMainCatagory']);

          $data[] = array( $i,(int)$row_getmaincatdetails['count(`EquipmentMainCatagory`)']);

          }

    $jsonTable = json_encode(array("data" => $data, "ticks" => $ticks));

?>

In Js:

A: PHP looks ok, on the JS side, you need something like this:

A: For flot charts the syntax is as follows:
var plot = $.plot(placeholder, data, options)

Example
var options = {
    series: {
        lines: { show: true },
        points: { show: true }
    }
};

    var d2 = [[0, 3], [4, 8], [8, 5], [9, 13]];

    $.plot("#placeholder", [ d2 ], $options);

Laura Marano Biography: 5 Fast Facts You Need To Know About Her
It wouldn't be impertinent to claim that Laura Marano is unaware of the struggles normally associated with becoming a star in the entertainment industry. While most celebrated entertainers took many years to gain recognition and make a breakthrough in their chosen profession, fame came almost naturally for Marano.
By her early twenties, she was already the perfect example of a success story in the world of entertainment. At that age, the American actress and musician had won over 12 million dedicated followers around the world. At the time of this report, her following on Instagram has exceeded 8 million.
Among her various works in music and acting, the multi-talented entertainer is certainly best known as Ally Dawson in the mega Disney television series Austin and Ally, which were broadcast from 2011 to 2016.
Laura Marano Biography
Many have come to believe that it was easy for Laura to thrive and achieve fame in the entertainment industry because she comes from a family that knows how things work in the industry. That is true, but it would be malicious to rule out that she is talented and good at what she does.
Although Laura's father, Damiano Marano, is in no way an entertainer – he is a college professor – her mother, Ellen Marano, the owner of the Agoura Children's Theater, was once an actress. Her mother, Ellen Marano, the owner of the Agoura Children's Theater, was once an actress. However, she was very reserved when her daughters Laura and her sister Vanessa, who is also an actress, made acting their profession.
Laura Marano was born in Los Angeles, California. Records show that the day of her birth was November 29, 1995. While her mother is of English and Irish origin, it is known that her father is of Italian descent. The following facts about the actress and musician discuss what you should know about her.

Facts You Need To Know About Her
1. Music Is Her First Love
Regardless of the fact that Laura is known today mainly as an actress, it was the music that first caught her attention. If one can believe the claims on her website, she has written over 100 songs, and it was her musical abilities that earned her the role of an ally in Austin and Ally. The classically trained pianist was listed among the top 10 emerging artists of Vevo in 2016. She has performed as a musician at various popular events such as People Magazine's summer concert series and was recording her debut pop album at the time of this report.
2. Marano Earns from Other Entertainment Endeavours
Besides acting and singing, Laura Marano also earns money from other entertainment activities. For example, she was the official judge of the ABC Miss America Pageant. Apart from that, she was the hostess of other popular events. In 2016 and 2017 she hosted the Billboard Music Awards and the American Music Awards red carpet. She also hosted the Golden Globes red carpet event in 2018.
3. She Started Acting At The Age of 5
While most of us, even as adults, cannot say which profession is the best for us, Laura started to develop herself at the age of 5 years to excel in her chosen profession. She began acting at her mother's Agoura Children's Theater at this age. It was only a matter of time before she began to appear in national commercials. Several film and television roles followed, which preceded her groundbreaking role as Ally.

The star won the Kids Choice Award for Best Television Actress in recognition of her performance in Austin and Ally; that was in 2015. In the same year, she received the Remi Awards, which honored aspiring actresses in the film industry, for her role as Amy in the film A Sort of Homecoming.
5. She Has Been Helping Kids Across The Globe
The actress firmly believes in humanism, she once expressed that everyone has the power to change the world by helping people. To serve as an example to young people around the world, she was appointed ambassador for UNICEF's "Trick or Treat" campaign, which encourages children to raise money to be used on Halloween to help other children around the world. She is also involved in other charity campaigns designed to improve people's wellbeing

Things are getting rowdy at Mitsubishi, but the Galant seems content to sleep through it.
STEVE SILER
Mitsubishi appeared to have it all going right: its Outlander is a credible compact ute, the new Lancer is a genuine success, and its seductive Concept RA was a smash at the 2008 NAIAS in Detroit. And for the last two years, Mitsubishi has been rolling out its handsome and versatile form vocabulary, as seen on the Lancer and set to define new Mitsubishis in the future.
So pardon us for being somewhat disappointed with the first glimpse of the 2009 Galant. It is only a refresh, but it's relatively thorough, involving not just new taillights and wheels, but new bumpers, a new hood, and even a larger rear window.
Thus, we wonder if something could have been done to make it look more like the Lancer we love and less like a previous-generation Nissan Altima in front, or a Chrysler Sebring from behind. From a design standpoint, it appears half-baked—changed for the sake of change, but hardly improved.
New Sport Edition and Sport V-6 Trim Levels
Mitsubishi worked harder, it seems, revising the equipment packages, adding two new Sport models between the base ES and sport-tuned Galant Ralliart.
Four-cylinder Sport models come with the same 160-hp, 2.4-liter engine as the ES, whereas the Sport V-6 is powered by a variation of Mitsubishi's ubiquitous 3.8-liter V-6, tuned to produce 230 horsepower as opposed to the Galant Ralliart's 258 horsepower.
As before, all Galants shift themselves (four speeds for the four-cylinder, five for the sixes), and all feature manumatic operation.
Other than what's under the hood, both Sport models are clones, with plenty of goodies like power seats, Homelink, climate control, and a 360-watt Rockford/Fosgate sound system on the inside, and a sunroof, 17-inch wheels, fog lights, and a razor-thin spoiler outside.
Saving it For Next Time?
In Mitsu's defense, the current Galant has lived its whole life under the shadow of the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry, and the likelihood of knocking them off their perches after a midcycle enhancement is highly unlikely.
Only a complete redesign will make that kind of splash. But when that happens, which we expect sometime in 2010 or 2011, we can only hope it looks like the Concept ZT from the 2007 Tokyo auto show. That's the Mitsubishi we want to see more of.

Q: The JTable Edit/UnEdit Code Not Working For Re Arranged JTable Columns I am using the following code for Edit/UnEdit for my JTable Columns, but when the user re-arranged the columns the following code is not working
SSCCE of the code is following:
    import javax.swing.JTable;
    import javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel;
    import javax.swing.table.TableModel;

    public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {
    TableModel model = new DefaultTableModel() {
    public boolean isCellEditable(int rowIndex, int mColIndex) {
    boolean flag = false;
            if (isEdit == true) {
                if ((vColIndex == tblItem.getColumn("Design").getModelIndex())
                        || (vColIndex == tblItem.getColumn("ChangedCategory").getModelIndex())
                        || (vColIndex == tblItem.getColumn("Amount").getModelIndex())) {
                    flag = false;
                } else {
                    flag = true;
                }
            } else {
                flag = false;
            }
            return flag;
  }
};

JTable table2 = new JTable(model);
}
}

A: Note that model and view indexes are not equivalent. As noted here,

JTable provides methods that convert from model coordinates to view coordinates — convertColumnIndexToView and convertRowIndexToView — and that convert from view coordinates to model coordinates — convertColumnIndexToModel and convertRowIndexToModel.

The tutorial section discusses Sorting and Filtering rows, but the principle applies to columns as well. Absent a complete example, it's hard to be sure.


Previous PostWalking Stockholm. With Gifts and Christmas Snow.Next PostFlying in and out of the Nest. With the Osprey Couple.
I can't believe we're almost a month into the new year already! So happy to see this latest update. The first photo of the Moorhen and turtle made me laugh out loud. What a moment!
I'm happy the Moorhen and Turtle scenario made you laugh. I laughed too! The Moorhen was very loud and finally, without any hurry, the turtle reached the end and dove into the water. And the Moorhen was the "King of the Hill" 🙂 The salt marsh has, indeed, become lively…we even spotted Miss Rosa the other day on our way to the doggy park. And the Osprey couple entertained me this morning when I had a long teleconference. They were flying back and forth over the marsh and past my office window several times, then sat down on the corner of Sheraton's roof right below my window. I did sneak out on the terrace for 2 minutes to take a picture, but pls don't tell 😀 Have a wonderful week and weekend, my friend. Mr. I'm heading to Washington D.C. for work shortly. D says hi!
It certainly is ❤ ! Shall be exciting to follow their season again. Hugs my friend.
Thank you Carrie. I am determined to keep a good balance this year …after all, I'm my own boss now and should be able to do a better job on this 🙂 I wish you, too, many happy 'turtle days'!
Thank you for the beautiful pictures and stories from a world that is continually shrinking.
Thank you Sha'Tara. It is so true that this wonderful world is shrinking. It pains me…and I am trying to help in any small way I can to preserve it.
It really is satisfying to hear and see what has been going on at the Salt Marsh. I am so happy that everyone is getting into the groove, along with some newcomers. Nature has her own timing and we are appreciative spectators.
Thanks Sylvia! Had some 'turtle time' this weekend, but instead of going out in the cool winds and non-stop rain I was huddling around a fondue pot with friends 🙂 Much more productive 😀 I hope you had a good weekend.
Thank you Donna! I so enjoy watching the Osprey couple. They have been flying a lot together and building on the nest despite the colder than usual weather we've been having lately. Before we know it, "your" Bella & Beau will be back in Maryland repairing their nest too 🙂 Have a great week ahead.
I was just thinking that Bella & Beau might be starting to get an instinct to 'fuel' up on meals for their journey back any day/week now. Mid-March is when the sightings begin for the returning Chesapeake Bay Osprey. Oh, and let's hope B&B know how to build a nest this time, lol, they had no nest most of season.
I hope you find just the right balance between doing and being! Stay warm . . . and (if you're up) enjoy the eclipse tonight.
It's so wintery here – and its nice to see photos of a warmer spot where Spring is in the air.
I wish we had spring in the air! It's been unusually cold weather here too, a real winter season without the snow, but of course we are warm compared to most of the country now.
Beautiful birds illuminated by your fascinating text, thank you.
What a wonderful showcase of your local wildlife Tiny, I especially love you header photo of the Moorhen barking at the poor turtle, wondering what all the commotion is about. The Snowy Egret in breeding plumage looks beautiful. It is good that you are able to stay in holiday rest mode for as long as you can. It is good to balance your busy life. Great to see the couple back together for another season adventure Stan & Sandy. Have a wonderful week my friend!
Thank you, Ashley. That Moorhen and turtle scene made me smile and think about the need to balance my life better. Nature is such a good teacher. And I am trying…with variable success 🙂 It's been so cold and windy lately that the Osprey couple has quite not yet settled in at the nest. Today they came to the nest together only to discover that the strong wind had pushed their "furniture" to one side of the nest. I'm sure they will try to rectify it as soon as the winds calm down, hopefully this coming weekend. Have a wonderful weekend, my friend!
I always enjoy your photos and stories from the salt marsh. I love the variety of birds you see there. Glad to see your osprey couple is back. Thanks for the post!
Thank you, Ingrid, for coming along on these walks!
Nice shots of the Night Herons. I spent a couple of days at the Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge a little over a week ago. Are you near there? I saw a lot of these same birds – which was such a treat!
Thanks Kathy! Merritt Island in on the east coast of FL, right? I am on the west coast, on Gulf of Mexico close to Tampa, but from your beautiful post I saw that the birds there are the same as we have here.
I am glad you have posted these photos, and written so artfully about each one. Sometimes I feel like being there myself and watching your avian and other friends live their lives.
Thanks for coming along, Tish! I'm still hanging on to the 'balanced plan' with tooth and nail, and determined to improve it further … after this month 🙂 Just back from chilly NYC last night and looking forward to catching up with the Osprey family and others.
Enjoyed each slice of nature's wondrous creatures (then there is the alligator, which is hard to adore).
Thank you, Sally, for your kind comment.
Thank you, Brad, for coming along to the salt marsh and Taylor Park. I've been in the cement jungle (NYC) for work and just now back to my friends…saw a little glimpse of Mama Sandy tonight and both Dylan and I are eager to find out what's going on at the nest.
Always a complete joy, Helen, to visit the Salt Marsh with you and Dylan. What a joy to see the osprey pair are beginning their new nesting season. All of your photos here are so wonderful, I liked the anhingas and moorhens at Taylor Park too. Alligator photo is exquisite.
Thank you for your visit and kind comment, Jet. I am just back from a work trip to NYC and eager to find out what is going on at the salt marsh. Saw Mama Sandy at the nest briefly this evening.
A wonderful update, Helen; it's great to see all is well on your homefront; and the interval training (with assistant) sounds just the thing to keep you fit.
Sixth season! Kudos to you, Helen. It's been a great joy!
Thank you, Meg. Right now I need to get back to 'turteling' after a hectic work trip 🙂 And that means back to the salt marsh this coming week.
so many years with this amazing family of ospreys! Can't wait for this year's tale.
I look forward to your visits to the salt marsh and the warm and loving portraits of the denizens.
Thank you, Tom. I just returned from a work trip last night and both my assistant and I are eager to catch up with the salt marsh friends this coming week.
So glad you got to see the osprey pair on their date at the sailing club – the sky in the background is truly a romantic backdrop!
I love following the adventures of your community of friends, as always! Wishing you a year filled with joyful days!
Thank you, B.J. I have been travelling again and just now back…eager to catch up with our salt marsh friends this coming week.
You have some good, though lofty, New Year's goals. To be both fast and slow? I should take a leaf from you. Here is to wishing you the best for this year.
Thank you for your good wishes, ZL. It is not easy to balance life…but I am trying to 'hang on' to my goal and not give up just yet.
All of us need some turtle time sweet Tiny. I wish there were better words to tell you what I think of your amazing photography. The Oops picture gave me a giggle, kudos for getting the shot no matter what was showing. 🙂 I am just in awe at all the beautiful wildlife at the park and salt marsh. So happy to hear about the romantic date and I will be anxiously awaiting to see what Sandy and Stanley produce this season. Thank you so very much for sharing these wonderful photos. Hugs and give sweet Dylan nose kisses for me…he is a real trooper and assistant.
Glad to hear you made it back safely and have seen Sandy at the nest. Lots of hugs and nose kisses for you and sweet Dylan.
Ah, that elusive "balance" in life … walks like these always help put things in perspective.
Hi Tiny! Wow…you certainly caught many of the characters on this one! Great captures! And the gator!! Ah! I understand your quest for turtle time 😉 Life is better lived with balance…yes? I have been trying to find these moments too.
Wonderful to see how all the wildlife is about to start a new cycle. But yes, time is going fast, and I think I have to just accept it. Another beautiful post.
Beautiful wildlife photography here! My word! You have a great eye!
Thank you for your visit and kind comment, Robert.


Then I make a calendar that shows where the holes are, which is where the youth can get involved in the planning. The Youth often want to walk into the youth group meeting waiting for me to lead them. Yet I want them to lead some of the meetings too. So I make it clear where they have room for input.
May/June: I present this calendar to the youth group at a few meetings before school gets out for a group planning meeting. (Most of my kids are gone for most of the summer so we do not meet regularly, which is why I get started so early.) In our planning meetings we brain storm - really try to get them to think of the box.
To do this, I bring a lot of items like bike helmets, bottle of wine, gummy worms, school books, baby dolls, deck of cards, hairbrush, flowers, box of cereal, sports equipment, some magazines. Plus add your own ideas. Hand one item at a time to each kid Have each kid say the first word that comes to mind. Write a list on the wall.
After you have a huge list, have the kids start creating ideas for their meetings and or events. Again make a list on the wall. Then talk each of them out, so the kids have an opportunity to explain more about what they mean, or think it through. Then give them a chance to vote. You can do it by hand vote, voice vote, or give people a few stickers so they can mark their choices, depending on the kids you have in your group. Sometimes one way works better than others.
Once you've voted, ask the group who would like to be on a team to offer one of the meeting or events. Tell then you will help them lead it. I find that their enthusiasm and ownership really helps them step into the co-leadership roles. During the year, I meet with the kids for planning the topic they wanted to plan. I love to spend this time with a few kids at a time, plus helping them gain to leadership skills.
Along with the topics they've picked, I will save some of their ideas for future times. Or I might lead a few if no teens step up to up to lead. I will fill out the other meetings with fun and current events topics.
I know it seems really early, but believe me, you'll thank me later. Just think: in August when everyone is scrambling to pull their fall schedules, you and your youth will be ready to roll!

Brokers of Deceit: How the U.S. Has Undermined Peace in the Middle East
paperback - $ 18.00 USD hardcover - $ 18.95 USD
by Rashid Khalidi
2013, hardcover, paperback
SKU: 9780807044759, 9780807033241
Winner of the 2014 Lionel Trilling Book Award
An examination of the failure of the United States as a broker in the Palestinian-Israeli peace process, through three key historical moments
For more than seven decades the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian people has raged on with no end in sight, and for much of that time, the United States has been involved as a mediator in the conflict. In this book, acclaimed historian Rashid Khalidi zeroes in on the United States' role as the purported impartial broker in this failed peace process.
Khalidi closely analyzes three historical moments that illuminate how the United States' involvement has, in fact, thwarted progress toward peace between Israel and Palestine. The first moment he investigates is the "Reagan Plan" of 1982, when Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin refused to accept the Reagan administration's proposal to reframe the Camp David Accords more impartially. The second moment covers the period after the Madrid Peace Conference, from 1991 to 1993, during which negotiations between Israel and Palestine were brokered by the United States until the signing of the secretly negotiated Oslo accords. Finally, Khalidi takes on President Barack Obama's retreat from plans to insist on halting the settlements in the West Bank.
Through in-depth research into and keen analysis of these three moments, as well as his own firsthand experience as an advisor to the Palestinian delegation at the 1991 pre-Oslo negotiations in Washington, DC, Khalidi reveals how the United States and Israel have actively colluded to prevent a Palestinian state and resolve the situation in Israel's favor. "Brokers of Deceit" bares the truth about why peace in the Middle East has been impossible to achieve: for decades, US policymakers have masqueraded as unbiased agents working to bring the two sides together, when, in fact, they have been the agents of continuing injustice, effectively preventing the difficult but essential steps needed to achieve peace in the region.
Rashid Khalidi, author of six books about the Middle East--Sowing Crisis, The Iron Cage, Resurrecting Empire, Origins of Arab Nationalism, Under Siege, and the award-winning Palestinian Identity--is the Edward Said Chair in Arab Studies and director of the Middle East Institute at Columbia University. He has written more than eighty articles on Middle Eastern history and politics, including pieces in the New York Times, the Boston Globe, the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, and many journals. Professor Khalidi has received fellowships and grants from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, the American Research Center in Egypt, and the Rockefeller Foundation; he was also the recipient of a Fulbright research award. Professor Khalidi has been a regular guest on numerous radio and TV shows, including All Things Considered, Talk of the Nation, Morning Edition, NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, and Nightline.

Being Paid to Sleep? Royal Mencap Society v Tomlinson-Blake
In Royal Mencap Society v Tomlinson-Blake the Court of Appeal has determined that workers who "sleep in" at their workplace are not entitled to receive national minimum wage for periods when they are asleep. This is because time spent asleep in this way is properly characterised as time when an employee is 'available for work' rather than time when they are actually working.
Ms Tomlinson-Blake was employed by Mencap as a Care Support Worker from 2004. She worked as part of a team to provide 24 hour care and support to two vulnerable adults with substantial learning disabilities and autism, in their own home. Ms Tomlinson-Blake's usual working patterns covered the hours from 7am to 10pm, in relation to which she was paid at least the National Minimum Wage (NMW). However, she was also required to carry out a sleep-in shift between 10pm and 7am, for which she received £29.05 (made up of a flat rate of £22.35 and one hour's pay at £6.70), which was below the NMW.
During sleep-in shifts, Ms Tomlinson Blake had to remain at the house and deal with incidents or emergencies if they arose, but this was rare and she was generally expected and able to get a good night's sleep in the bedroom provided to her.
If Ms Tomlinson-Blake was required to provide care during the night, the first hour of care was included within her shift rate but she received additional pay if more than an hour of care was needed.
Employment Tribunal & Employment Appeal Tribunal
Ms Tomlinson-Blake brought a claim in the Employment Tribunal on the basis that she was entitled to be paid NMW for the entirety of the sleep-in shift, including the hours she spent sleeping. She contended that she was working simply by being present in the house throughout her shift, whether or not she was awake, and therefore the whole sleep-in shift should be treated as "time work" for the purpose of the National Minimum Wage Regulations 2015 (the Regulations).
Mencap's position was that Ms Tomlinson-Blake was only obliged to be available for work during her sleep-in shift and that as such, time spent asleep does not count as "time work" under the Regulations.
The ET found that Ms Tomlinson-Blake was actually working for the whole period of her shift. In reaching this decision it considered various different factors including Ms Tomlinson-Blake's obligations to remain on the premises, keep a "listening ear" and use her professional judgment as to whether intervention was required, as well as Mencap's regulatory obligation to have someone present during the night. The ET's decision was that Ms Tomlinson-Blake was entitled to receive NMW for the entire sleep-in shift. The EAT agreed with the ET's approach.
Mencap appealed to the Court of Appeal, which undertook a detailed analysis of the legislation and five previous decisions in this area. The Court of Appeal found that at least one case (Burrow Down Support Service Ltd v Rossiter) had been wrongly decided and that on a straightforward reading of the Regulations, workers sleeping-in under this type of arrangement are to be characterised as available for work, rather than actually working.
Having found that Ms Tomlinson-Blake was available for work and not actually working for the duration of sleep-in shifts, the Court of Appeal summarised the effect of the Regulations in these circumstances as follows:
"a worker who is, and is required to be, available for the purpose of working at or near his or her place of work is entitled to have the time in question counted as time work for NMW purposes unless
he or she is at home; or
the arrangement is that they will sleep (and be given facilities for doing so), in which case only those hours will count when they are, and are required to be, awake for the purpose of working"
As such, Ms Tomlinson-Blake, and workers in similar circumstances, will only be entitled to have their sleep-in hours counted for NMW purposes where they are, or are required to be, awake for the purpose of working.
The decisions of the ET and EAT were overturned and the Court of Appeal substituted a finding that Ms Tomlinson-Blake was not entitled to receive NMW for the duration of her sleep-in shifts.
This decision is of particular significance to the health and social care sector, where it is common for workers to undertake "sleep-in" shifts. It had been estimated that a requirement to pay NMW for these shifts could cost the industry approximately £400 million in back pay and be unaffordable and potentially unsustainable for many care providers going forward.
This decision is therefore likely to come as a welcome relief for many employers in similar circumstances to Mencap. However, Unison (who represented Ms Tomlinson-Blake) has indicated that it intends to appeal to the Supreme Court, so this may not be the last we hear of the matter.
Hempsons will keep a watching brief and report on any further updates as and when they happen. Should you have any questions in relation to this decision, our team is on hand to assist you.

Employment Newsbrief Summer 2018 now available!
Welcome to the Summer edition of the Hempsons' Employment Newsbrief, a round-up of some of the hot legal topics in the Employment sector.
Newsflash: Sleep-ins and National Minimum Wage enforcement
The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) has today announced that enforcement in relation to the National Minimum Wage (NMW) for sleep-in shifts in the social care sector will be temporarily suspended.
Sleep-ins – should they form a part of the National Minimum Wage calculation?
The long awaited appeal by Mencap has now been considered by the Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT). This appeal is based on the way care is provided, predominantly in the social care sector but also has an impact on healthcare providers too. In recognition of the importance to the sector, this appeal was heard by Mrs Justice Simler, the President of the EAT, and brought together three separate appeals. Mencap operate their sleep-ins in common with most social care providers and pay a mostly flat rate sleep-in payment. They were unsuccessful in arguing that the hours during sleep-in shifts were not to be taken into account in calculating the National Minimum Wage.


The Cabinet has endorsed the National Investment Commission's Public-Private Partnership Policy with a suggestion for additional input by the Ministry of Justice.
The cabinet made the endorsement at a meeting held recently in Monrovia, the Executive Mansion said in a release.
On disseminating new regulations on the missing Liberian Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) biometric passports, the Cabinet mandated the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Justice to conduct independent studies on whether the proposed regulations fully meet international standards and are in line with legal requirements.
The Cabinet also mandated the two ministries to work with the Ministry of Transport to resolve a few outstanding issues including an update of license plates for motor vehicles.
Also following the Civil Service Agency's update on Contributory Pension Scheme, the cabinet noted that it is an area that has long been lacking in our governance structure. It also suggested that more time was needed to make substantive proposals on the way forward.
On performance updates from the High Level Committee Secretariat on the new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the just-ended 70th Session of the UN General Assembly, the Cabinet endorsed the recommendations to hold a roundtable meeting bringing in all the stakeholders, including the National Legislature, civil society, media, and what role they can play to customize the document by determining targets aligned with the country's Agenda for Transformation.
The Cabinet also suggested that a Secretariat be established to modify the document and follow-up with its implementation.
On the initiative to pave 51 kilometres of roads in Montserrado County and its environs, the Cabinet also endorsed the initiative, but urged the Ministry of Public Works to work with the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning, Public Procurement and Concessions Commission, and other stakeholders to thrash out all the bottlenecks for the smooth implementation of the projects beginning this dry season.
Meanwhile, the Cabinet has endorsed the establishment of a Presidential Taskforce on City Beautification that will be chaired by the Director-General of the General Services Agency, Mary T. Broh.
Other members on the committee are representatives from the Ministries of Internal Affairs, Youth and Sports, Information, Finance and Development Planning and the Liberia National Police.
Other representatives are the mayors of all the cities as well as district commissioners across the country.
They have a one month mandate running from November 15 to December 15, 2015.

Get his Heart! Heart-Throbbing Farm Work
ハートをゲット!トキメキ農作業
Hāto wo Getto! Tokimeki Nōsagyō
May 23, 2004 (Japan)
Tamegai Katsumi
Get his Heart! Heart-Throbbing Farm Work (ハートをゲット!トキメキ農作業, "Hāto wo Getto! Tokimeki Nōsagyō"?), dubbed Cultivating Crushes in the edited English dub, is the 17th episode of the season Futari wa Pretty Cure, and also the 17th episode of Pretty Cure franchise overall.
Nagisa and Honoka join Kimata at his grandparents' farm to help them with the harvest, and during this time, they bond with Fuji-P and Kiriya.
Nagisa sits down to rest after lacrosse practice, thinking about her recent encounterFwPC16 with one of the "assassins" from the Dotsuku Zone. She then gets distracted by Fuji-P nearby practicing with his soccer ball, quietly wishing him good luck. Honoka suddenly appears next to Nagisa, telling her to cheer louder so that he can hear. Honoka then asks if she's free the next day, as she's going to help out with the harvest at an acquaintance of her's family farm, inviting Nagisa, who accepts. Honoka says that Fuji-P will be glad, as he was the one who asked her to come, specifying Kimata of the soccer team's grandfather as the one who needs help with his vegetables. Nagisa is left in disbelief that she'll be doing farm work with her crush.
Nagisa imagines working in the field with Fuji-P.
Later that night, Nagisa sits in her room with a pile of clothes on the floor, wondering what she should wear tomorrow. Ryouta tries to sneak into her room but is instantly put into a "cobra twist" for not knocking again. He notices the clothes and asks if she's going on a date, which she denies, stating that it's for farm work with Honoka. This confuses Ryouta, who wonders why she's zealously choosing clothes for just the farm, as Nagisa thinks about working with Fuji-P, causing her to blush and roll around on the floor. Ryouta worriedly calls for their mom, stating that there's "something wrong" with his sister. Even Mepple starts to doubt if he can be properly looked after by Nagisa.
The next morning, the group, consisting of Nagisa, Honoka, Fuji-P, Kimata, and Kiriya, ride a train to the farm. Kiriya sits across from the other four, who are seated together. Once at the farm, Kimata's grandmother thanks them for coming, as her husband had injured his shoulder, and she can't do all the work alone. Kimata's grandfather then stubbornly comes out to insist that he's fine, refusing to listen to his doctor's orders, before reluctantly heading back inside to rest. As the kids begin to harvest the crops, they split off into pairs, with Kimata joining his grandmother, Honoka assigning Fuji-P and Nagisa together as both are athletes, and Honoka herself being left with Kiriya. Honoka whispers to a lovestruck Nagisa to "clearly say" what she wants to Fuji-P.
As Nagisa pulls white radishes out of the ground, she's too nervous and unsure of what to say to Fuji-P right beside her. He soon notices the many radishes Nagisa has unknowingly harvested and is amazed, giving her praise as a girl for doing "strenuous dirty work" like this. Nagisa, now red in the face, is given a boost of morale and continues picking up radishes one after the other.
Kiriya asks Honoka why they're doing all this work.
Meanwhile, as Honoka harvests cabbages, she explains the origin of the crop to Kiriya, who idly stands by before lying down on a nearby haystack. Honoka tells him to not slack off when everyone else is doing their best, but he says it's no use, given how much cabbages there are in the field. Honoka retorts that they can do it by working together, but Kiriya instead sees this as a sign of weakness in humans. Honoka claims that cooperation is what makes people strong, but Kiriya is left confused, only to be told that he'll understand once he does work. As Kiriya struggles to harvest cabbage, he asks Honoka what the point is in all of this, to which she tells him that the crops go to the market before eventually ending up on people's plates. Kimata then calls the two over for lunch, and as Kiriya is about to go, he is stopped by Honoka, who tells Kimata that the others can go on ahead without them as they will be working a bit more. Kiriya asks why, and Honoka tells him that it's to make up for his slacking off earlier.
As Nagisa and the others have lunch, Fuji-P notes that Honoka isn't the type of person to do things halfway, with Kimata adding that she can be a bit rough on others such as Kiriya. However, Nagisa disagrees, saying that it's because Honoka cares about Kiriya that she's serious with him, which she finds is one of the good things about her. Fuji-P thanks Nagisa, noting that as a childhood friend of Honoka's, he was worried that her strict nature would push people away, which is why he's glad she has a friend like Nagisa who understands her. Nagisa, complimented by her crush again, flusteredly turns red and excuses herself.
Nagisa finds Mepple and Mipple back at the farmhouse playing with some sort of device. They tell her it's the "Prism Love Checker," which can measure the love of two partners based on how much of the gauge lights up. The two demonstrate by having the entire gauge light up, indicating their "true love," with Mepple adding that they've used this device back in the Garden of Light. Nagisa excitedly asks to borrow it, noting that even if she can't say anything to Fuji-P, she can still use this device to measure what he thinks of her. She attempts to get close to him only to back away once noticed.
Mepple shows Nagisa the Prism Love Checker.
Nagisa groans about her lack of confidence when she spots Kimata's grandmother bringing a jacket to her husband, who she claims can't do anything by himself. Nagisa then gets the idea to test the Prism Love Checker on the elderly couple, with the grandfather reluctant until urged by his wife. Much like with Mepple and Mipple, the entire gauge lights up, indicating "true love," which surprises and confuses Nagisa. The grandmother is enthralled by the illuminating device but the grandfather finds it "worthless," causing them to bicker a bit. Nagisa then returns the device, claiming it might be broken, with Mepple retorting that it's "always correct," but she remains unconvinced that Kimata's grandparents are in "true love."
Kiriya pushes a wheelbarrow filled with boxes of cabbage when he accidentally stumbles over uneven ground and falls, with Honoka rushing over to notice that he cut his finger through the glove. Kiriya sees this as no big deal, but Honoka walks him over to get the wound washed. Kiriya asks why she's doing this for him, and Honoka replies that she can't just leave someone injured, prompting him to ask if "everyone is like that," which she confirms. After putting a bandage on the wound, Honoka gets back to work, while Kiriya just stares at his bandage before putting his glove back on to join her.
Later that afternoon, everyone comes back to the farmhouse to have some tea, although Kiriya is nowhere to be seen. He's left behind at the now-empty fields, amazed that the work is "all done," thinking back to Honoka's words about cooperation. Poisony then appears next to Kiriya, saying that it's not like him to be this vulnerable to the humans, even threatening to "end" him if she felt like it. Kiriya denies this and offers to help Poisony attack Pretty Cure this time. Dark clouds enshroud the farm as she summons a Zakenna from underground, which digs towards the farmhouse.
The humans feel an "earthquake" when a giant Zakenna-possessed earthworm pops out, ramming itself into the house with Kimata's grandparents inside. The impact causes a drawer to fall over, almost on Kimata's grandmother but her husband moves in to protect her. The worm breaks into the house, as Kimata's grandparents slowly back away, only for their grandson and Fuji-P to throw rocks at it, distracting the worm away from the house as it chases after them. The girls use this opportunity to transform.
The girls give their transformation speech only to realize no one is around, so they chase after the Zakenna and land kicks on it, giving Kimata and Fuji-P enough time to escape. Just then, another Zakenna, this time a giant centipede, flicks Cure Black away and grabs Cure White with its tail, dragging her into a nearby cave. Cure Black tries to follow in but Kiriya stops her by closing up the cave opening.
Cure White is greeted by Poisony who asks for the Prism Stones, before commanding her Zakenna-possessed centipede to bind Cure White as she refuses. Kiriya watches from afar without being noticed. Poisony claims that the girls have one flaw: "They can't do anything by themselves." Cure Black continues to try and break into the cave, but it's no use, with Mepple adding that it's not "normal rock" but one enhanced with "strong power." Kiriya watches Cure White continue to not give up, as he starts to weaken his hold on the barrier.
Cure White picks up the earthworm that was just possessed by a Zakenna.
Cure Black is finally able to kick her way into the cave, which distracts the centipede enough that it drops Cure White from its grasp, who runs up to her partner. The girls then launch their Marble Screw attack, directly hitting the Zakenna and Poisony as they're blasted out of the cave. Cure White then picks up the earthworm, back to normal, and shows it to Cure Black, who becomes frightened and moves away. Kiriya, still in the cave, looks at his bandaged finger again.
Kimata and Fuji-P return to the farmhouse to check on the former's grandfather to see if he's hurt, only for him to claim that it was "just a scratch." The grandfather than checks on his wife to see if she's alright, which she confirms, given that he protected her, prompting him to coldly turn away as if to hide his affection. Honoka notes that "you can't always determine the closeness of a relationship just by looking at them," with Mepple adding that the Prism Love Checker's diagnosis turned out correct after all. Honoka then tells Nagisa that to "move forward," she needs to take the first step, referring to her crush on Fuji-P. Nagisa goes up to him but is too flustered to say her true feelings so she instead thanks him for his hard work today. Honoka remarks that "there's a long way to go."
Under Honoka's guidance, Kiriya learns about cooperation as humans, which begins to interfere with his mission.

The Singaporean English title of the episode is Capture His Heart! Getting Heady With Farm Work.[1]
During the next episode preview for this episode, Nagisa comments on how she "[doesn't] have the stomach" (意気地が無い, ikuji ga nai?) for crucial moments, with Honoka retorting that she's "gluttonous" (食い意地, kuiiji?).
When Kiriya rides the train with the group to the farm, he has a box of chocolate snacks, with one described as twigs coated in white chocolate, possibly alluding to his closeness with Honoka (Cure White).
When Cure Black comes to the rescue, she says "the hero has arrived," with Cure White asking if she meant "heroine."
Kimata's grandfather and grandmother are voiced by Tokumaru Kan and Tomoe Seiko respectively.
