Fantasy football Week 8 waiver wire
A look at running backs on the waiver wire for Week 8 in fantasy football leagues, ranked in our projection of lowest to highest priority.
Don't Edit
10. Marcus Murphy, Buffalo Bills
Murphy is a good speculative flyer in deep PPR formats, but he needs to catch a break or two before he can be considered even a FLEX option. First, LeSean McCoy will likely spend most of the week with a questionable designation in the NFL's concussion protocol. He will need to sit out a Week 8 contest against New England if Murphy wants to see enough volume to have value. If that happens, Murphy would then need the right game script and a big early deficit against the Patriots. It's all possible, but makes for a flimsy play in fantasy.
9. Chris Ivory, Buffalo Bills
There are a couple big variables to consider in the Bills backfield, and neither will likely be cleared up when most fantasy owners need to lock in their choices on the waiver wire. LeSean McCoy left Buffalo's Week 7 game in Indianapolis with a concussion, and Ivory suffered an apparent leg injury. If Ivory gets back for Week 8 against New England, he has shown he can carry the load and finish drives at the goal-line. But the upside of that matchup, given the Bills' struggles and a likelihood of falling behind, is limited and McCoy is unlikely to miss any more than a week.
8. Ronald Jones, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The fact the Bucs have at least made a modest commitment to get Jones more involved in their game plan is promising. The rookie second-round pick was inactive for the team's first three games, but debuted in Week 4 and touched the ball 22 times in three games that followed. Tampa starter Peyton Barber has shown his limitations with an average of 3.5 yards per carry and zero touchdowns in six games. So, if or when Jones turns his limited work into bigger results, he has a path available to carve out a bigger role. That prospect is worth a gamble, especially as Jones comes off scoring his first career touchdown in a Week 7 win over the Browns.
7. Wendell Smallwood, Philadelphia Eagles
The Corey Clement bandwagon filled up quicker than Smallwood's in light of Jay Ajayi's season-ending knee injury, but the jury is still out on which of the two backs is a better play in fantasy. There's also a strong possibility the Eagles backfield turns into a muddy mess if or when Darren Sproles returns from a hamstring injury. Coach Doug Pederson isn't shy about mixing and matching and riding the hot hand, but as things stand now Smallwood has out-touched Clement in both games since Ajayi's injury. That hasn't meant much yet in fantasy, but if the trend holds up Smallwood at least deserves a roster spot in competitive leagues with at least 10 teams.
6. Aaron Jones, Green Bay Packers

Here's to hoping the Packers took their Week 7 bye to self-scout and consider changes to an offense that has struggled to find balance. Coach Mike McCarthy has thus far been loyal to a committee approach with Jones, Jamaal Williams and Ty Montgomery, but it's clear to just about everyone else that Jones is worth building around. Jones is averaging 5.9 yards per carry to Williams' 3.8. He's also run for 12 first downs on 32 carries compared to Williams' 13 on 59 totes, showing too much as a runner to not get a bigger workload. Now is a good time to bet on it.
5. Raheem Mostert, San Francisco 49ers
Neither Alfred Morris nor Matt Breida found much success in the 49ers' blowout loss to the Rams, but Mostert was again effective in small doses with seven carries for 59 yards and four catches for 19 yards. That makes two weeks in a row Mostert has outperformed players who began the season ahead of him on the depth chart. What that means and where the committee goes from here is anyone's guess, but fantasy owners with a roster spot to spare would be wise to invest in Mostert and watch the situation unfold. San Francisco is 1-6 and playing without injured quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, so coach Kyle Shanahan could be inclined to experiment with new options.
4. Doug Martin, Oakland Raiders

Martin will emerge from the Raiders' Week 7 bye as the likely leader in the team's backfield following the news that Marshawn Lynch was placed on injured reserve. Martin gets his shot after rushing for just 99 yards on 27 carries in his first six games as a seldom-used backup to Lynch. There's not much positive happening with the Raiders at the moment. Nor is there reason to believe Martin will magically rediscover top form. But he does get a prime opportunity and a shot at 15-20 touches per week, including first dibs at the goal line. Jalen Richard will stay busy in the receiving game, but Martin will be the team's primary back and have favorable matchups coming against the Colts and 49ers.
3. Ito Smith, Atlanta Falcons
Smith suits up for a Monday Night Football date against the New York Giants tonight, but assuming his usage trends hold up, he remains a priority target on the waiver wire. The rookie from Southern Miss has a big opportunity ahead and a semi-permanent role as a sidekick to Tevin Coleman in the Falcons backfield. That role has yielded touchdowns in three straight weeks and doesn't look to change with Devonta Freeman now on injured reserve with groin and foot injuries. Smith has a chance to grow into the role with better efficiency and more work in the passing game, but touchdowns are a starting point.
2. Latavius Murray, Minnesota Vikings

While Dalvin Cook can't get healthy, Murray is running wild. Cook sat with a hamstring injury for the third time in four games, and Murray responded with 15 carries for 69 yards and two touchdowns, upping his two-game totals to 224 rushing yards and three scores. Nothing is guaranteed moving forward, but Murray's hot streak no doubt lessens the urgency to bring Cook back one second before he's ready. And if that hamstring injury continues to linger, Murray has a chance to stay hot with matchups at home against the Saints and Lions in Weeks 8 and 9.
1. Marlon Mack, Indianapolis Colts
Mack has looked the part of a centerpiece to a Colts offense that struggled as he sat early. After missing four of the team's first five games, Mack has rushed for 215 yards 31 carries and scored two touchdowns in the past two games. He gashed the Buffalo Bills for 159 total yards and two touchdowns in a 37-5 victory in Week 7 while establishing beyond a reasonable doubt that he is the team's go-to option. Mack has clear upside that should be owned in all formats and unleashed as an RB2 in most.

The two supporting panels are elongated versions of the wings and they curve up behind the head of the wearer. I had worked out from my samples that I needed two layers of wadding to get the level of padding I wanted for the surface, so the first task was to layer the wadding and top silk onto Wireform and to stitch this with the lotus flower shape I had prepared. As well as the lotus flower I added more gold stitching along the edges using a decorative machine stitch similar to the geometric borders used in some of the jewellery. Gilt Pearl Purl No 2 was stitched around the edge to bring more gold into the colour scheme.
The Wireform wasn't sturdy enough by itself to hold the pieces in place, so I cut matching shapes out of strong cardboard and covered these in black velvet. Before sandwiching the front and back pieces together, I fixed magnetic clasps in place through the layers. Although the neckpiece fits over the neck of a tailor's dummy in one piece, it would not fit over a human head so needed to be in two pieces that could be firmly joined together.
Once assembled I tried the neckpiece on my tailor's dummy to check the fit and how it would sit.
The neckpiece sits well as the cardboard provides structure but the underlying layer of Wireform allows it to be bent to shape and is strong enough to hold that shape.
The final stage was to start adding the wings. These were quite fiddly to stitch due to the stiffness of the supporting panels. I swapped over a large and small wing after sewing the small one in place according to my original plan as I decided the larger one would look better. The difference is in the two photos below with the first one showing the small wing stitched in place and the second photo with the larger wing just placed on top to see how it would look.
My next log entry will show the finished neckpiece.
This is beautiful and exciting, Christie, I'm looking forward to seeing the finished piece!

The story of movement is the story of life itself. The smallest movements serve as the markers by which we measure growth, development and change, First steps. First smile. The moment a child?s mouth curls into first words. We record them, chart them, share movements and measures with doctors, family and friends. Life continues to proceed this way. We track young dancer?s movements at her first recital. We count the miles between us and loved ones when they move away. When an old friend suffers a severe injury, we return once again logging the smallest movements ? the bend of a finger, the twitch of a toe ? as we follow his recovery.
When people and minds come together, things move in new directions. In the mid 1030?s two friends, both of whom were doctors, met to share a meal and an idea. Both men were doing well, and they?d traded enough referrals back and forth over time that they joked about going into practice together. ?Move things along,? one said to the other, and both men needed their heads.
The casual idea stuck with both of them. What would happen, they wondered, if they really did ?move things along?? They decided to follow the idea, and soon began sharing an office downtown. In less than three years, two more doctors joined them, and by 1940 they had the makings of a community medical clinic, one of the area?s first.
When it came to naming the practice, they wanted it to reflect the population the served, many of whom were the children and grandchildren of the areas timber industry, fishermen, carpenters, and millworkers. After a few tries, they settled on something they knew would move well into the future.
They called it The Vancouver Clinic.

We will respond to the health needs of our patients in a caring and timely matter. Through education, we will help them share responsibility for their own wellness. We will respect patient confidentiality in all matters.
As a physician-owned and governed group, we are dedicated to building a stimulating practice setting based upon teamwork and mutual respect within our organization.

The vision of Vida Ministries is to train national pastors in a two-year Bible School and to establish strong local churches. They have established 7 churches inside the Chocó Indian reservation. Rev. Dennis is the only man that was granted permission by the Indian authorities to establish churches on the Chocó Indian reservation.
The Cooks also pioneered a confraternity called United Pastors. The purpose of this organization is to unite the body of Christ. Vida Ministries has supplied many of these churches with a Sunday School Curriculum and supplies. They minister to over 1100 children on a weekly basis through this program.
This radio station reaches approximately 70,000 residents on a daily basis. There is a lack of communications in most of the jungle however people can go to the radio station and pass a message to their loved ones. For this reason the radio is the first thing every household turns on in the morning and the last thing they turn off at night.

A Police Chief in Panama is a good friend of Dennis & Jeanne's. He is a Christian and help keep them safe being so close to the Colombian border. The Police Chief came to Dennis with the problem. Many of his officers were so afraid of the Colombians they were committing suicide.
Dennis began teaching Bible Study at Police Headquarters. The Police Chief mandated that all radio stations in Panama were to listen to Dennis' radio station which broadcasts only Christian teachings & music. One year later, ALL suicides stopped.

Australian renewable energy can power the metaverse
By Jessie M. Curtis	 On Nov 10, 2021
Facebook's decision to announce its rebranding to Meta last month was undoubtedly accelerated by its latest controversies. But, lures and hijackings aside, it also provided a glimpse into Mark Zuckerberg's vision for the future – a vision apparently shared by much of Silicon Valley – in which we will be working, studying, and socializing in. a fully digital environment.
Creating an online community is already a big deal. Over 250 million people work together on Microsoft Teams, 500 million language students on Duolingo and 140 million gamers are building the Minecraft metaverse.
As more and more emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence and virtual and augmented reality, become part of our daily lives, and with COP26 underway, now is a good time to think about how we are really going to feed this new digital landscape.
Australia has a unique opportunity to use its abundant sustainable energy. During the Covid-19 pandemic, many Australian businesses have turned to online operations as remote working has become a necessity.
Covid-19 has dramatically accelerated the digitization of businesses and revealed the many benefits of the digital workplace, such as no commuting, no business travel, more time spent with family, and schedules and flexible workplaces.
However, it also made collaboration and interpersonal engagement with colleagues and clients more difficult. Virtual reality and other collaborative technologies have the potential to make remote working a more seamless and immersive experience for a true online workplace, but it could also come at a cost to users, hosting services, and more. , ultimately, the environment.
Australian energy consumption has increased dramatically over the past decade. Many Australians felt the sting when their electricity and utility bills rose dramatically while they were working and studying from home during shutdowns.
Google estimates that a single search costs it around 0.0003 kilowatt or 1 kilojoule of energy, which is roughly equivalent to the amount of energy the human body burns in 10 seconds. The true energy cost of some online services, such as Microsoft's and Amazon's cloud platforms, as well as open source software and cryptocurrency, can be difficult to quantify. Even small increases in power per machine add up to a huge energy load when used on a large scale across the population.
Energy consumption will continue to increase as emerging and critical technologies come online, such as 5G and 6G mobile networks and autonomous vehicles. The increased load on the high performance computing, data analytics and data storage backend architectures that underpin research and development (including computer modeling for medicine and new vaccine development) will also be energy intensive. .
However, current investment in non-renewable energy sources will not increase. Small initiatives such as discounts for household rooftop solar panels can offset household usage, but not energy-hungry cities or entire industries.
The technological revolution will add to the already high cost of living in cities and further encourage the exodus from major metropolitan centers which was spurred during the pandemic by fears for the safety and availability of remote working arrangements, a trend that is expected continue.
While it may revitalize regional areas, it will also require changes in regional planning and basic ICT infrastructure. It will also impact the travel, transportation and petroleum industries as cities empty and telecommuting flourishes.
Australia has a long history of economic prosperity based on the exploitation of natural resources. Now she has an opportunity that requires above all what we have in abundance, and what our neighbors lack: space.
As sea levels rise and neighboring islands lose valuable land, the Indo-Pacific region will increasingly depend on land-rich countries to power the digital world. Australia has all the natural advantages it could ask for: empty spaces, sunny skies and a huge ocean coastline for hydro and wind power.
Australia could become the region's energy bank, fueling the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
We also have the opportunity to stimulate the technology industry. Data centers, the cloud, and other ICT infrastructure all require stable and reliable power and cooling. Regional Australia is an ideal location to host a large solar-powered technology hub for the region.
Industry interest is already there, with companies such as NextDC planning to build a data center in Darwin and Sun Cable planning to power Singapore from a solar farm in the Northern Territory.
Reallocation of arid agricultural lands, deserts and fire-prone regions for wind and solar power, development of robotic and drone-based maintenance systems and investment in improving telecommunications infrastructure for sites business would encourage all technology investors to seriously consider Australia as their long-term base of operations.
Additionally, as a free and democratic society with strong privacy and security protections, Australia could provide a vital link in a trusted technology supply chain through its geopolitical partnerships, such as AUKUS and the Quad.
Through these two partnerships, Australia is committed to collaborating on the development of cutting-edge technologies, including AI, quantum computing and cybersecurity, and engaging partners to operate in Australia would strengthen our existing industries and would help develop and retain national talent.
Renewable energy to ensure the security of emerging technologies must be part of Australia's energy planning. Net Zero is an unambitious and short-sighted view of what could be a game-changer for Australia's tech industry, economy and our role in the Indo-Pacific.
If Australia does, and does well, it has a lot to gain. If he does not act, he is entering a very uncertain future.

Dzeko pleased with 'important goal' against Fulham
Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko was pleased to have got an "important" late goal for the Premier League champions after he grabbed the winner in a 2-1 victory over Fulham.
The Premier League champions showed considerable resolve to bounce back from going 1-0 to an early penalty from Mladen Petric, with Sergio Aguero equalising before Dzeko pounced on a late mistake from John Arne Riise to fire City to the three points, just minutes after coming on as a substitute.
"It was an important goal – what else can I say? I got five minutes and I tried to do the best thing I can do," the Bosnia international told the club's official website.
"It's never easy to come in with five minutes to go, and even if I do expect to play more, I'm happy for that team that we managed to get the three points today."
Strike partner Aguero, who was making only his third start this season due to a knee problem, was clearly delighted to be back among the goals after his injury lay-off.
Writing on his Twitter page, Aguero said: "We played well, we bested a tough rival on a tough field, and I found the
net again – glad to be back on track."
City welcome German champions Borussia Dortmund to the Etihad next in a crunch Champions League clash that could decide the destiny of Roberto Mancini's side's European progress this season.

Q: Laravel Mail: how to send batch emails per specific domain I am building a newsletter management system using Laravel 5.2.45 which allows the ability for users to send mass emails to mailing lists. As of the moment my example mailing list contains thousands of different email addresses with different email providers such as '@gmail.com', '@hotmail.co.uk'... etc.
When the system is in use, newsletters could potentially be sent to 1000's upon 1000's of different emails, which brings me to ask these few questions.
1) Based on research I believe that it is ideal to minimize the number of connections Laravel opens and closes when sending emails. Meaning, to order the provider domains and send them in batches, so sending all '@gmail.com' in one go so only one connection is open and closed to the gmail server. Is this accurate?
2) If question one is accurate, what would be the best route of doing this using Laravel mail (if the native Laravel mail has the capability of doing so)? I am aware of the ability to use Laravel mail's queue functionality but I am unsure if this would make sure only one connection was open and closed per domain type.
3) Additionally, is the any negative impact of using the Laravel mail class to send newsletters that could potentially go to 20,000 customer emails several times a day?
Thank You,
Kieren.

A: Well, depending on how you have configured your mail adaptor – yes, Laravel would open a connection for each e-mail being sent, which is not very efficient if you plan to send that many e-mails.
I would strongly recommend looking into e-mail providers API:s instead of using a SMTP-connection, most of these offer a batch-functionality. For instance Mailgun: https://documentation.mailgun.com/user_manual.html#batch-sending. Laravel supports the Mailgun-API out of the box.
Your questions:
1) Doesn't matter if you batch the emails after the domain like @gmail.com, @yahoo.com or not, if you have a single to-field that's filled out in a for-loop for example, a new connection would be established for each mail over SMTP. The connection is connected to the sending domain, not the receiving one.
2) I would definitely look into using queues, even if you use Mailguns batch-sending functionality – much more efficient.
3) Negative impact on what way? Of course, depending on how you build the mail templates, set the e-mail data and what not – it could potentially put a strain on the server. But nothing that can't be built around with some proper programming.

Former Melbourne Victory striker George Howard is back in Victoria, signing with NPL outfit South Melbourne.
Howard had a short stint playing in the NSW NPL with APIA Leichhardt but has returned to Melbourne to play with the club out of Lakeside Stadium.
He is likely to come straight into the South squad for this weekend's clash against Bulleen Lions.
"George is a very composed and versatile forward, who can play in any role across the front three, and just behind the striker," coach Sasa Kolman told www.smfc.com.au.
Howard spent three years under Kevin Muscat at Victory, making 13 appearances and scoring one goal in the Hyundai A-League.


On October 9, 1876, the first outdoor telephone conversation between Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Watson happened. Bell communicated with a telegraph line by word of mouth from an office located in Boston, with Watson who was at a factory in Cambridge port-2 miles away. This article sheds more light on the road to the first telephone conversation ever.
Alexander Graham Bell is a scientist, innovator, engineer and inventor born on 3rd March 1847 in Edinburgh, Scotland. He was popularly known for inventing the telephone. Bell became interested in the study of sound due to his background. His father and uncle were experts in speech correction and elocution for the deaf. In 1870, Bell and his parents decided to move from Scotland to Canada after his two elder brothers died of tuberculosis.

On moving to Canada, the Bells built a speech therapy school specialized in teaching the deaf how to speak. Even though his principal source of income was from the school of the deaf, Bell's inquisitive character and pursuit for knowledge made him pursue his studies of sound during his free time. This pursuit for knowledge led him to the invention of the photophone, metal detector, of course, the telephone.
Bell's fantastic invention of the telephone came as a result of his previous endeavors to improve the telegraph. Just like the telephone, the telegraph is a wire-based electrical system. It was also used as a means of communication, but it was limited to receiving and sending one message at a time.
Bell wanted to make it possible to send multiple messages with the telegraph at a time. People have talked about the idea of multiple telegraphs, but no one had been able to come up with anything tangible—until Bell. Bells telegraph was based on the fact that several sound signals could be sent simultaneously if the signals had different pitches.
During the latter part of Bell's Telegraph project, he decided to tell his future father-in-law, Gardiner Green Hubbard, who gave him the money he needed to complete his "multiple telegraphs." Hubbard was interested in his project because he saw it as an opportunity to end the monopoly of the Western Union Telegraph Company.
By June 1875, Bell and Watson were certain that they would be successful with their goal of creating a telephone. Their experiments proved that different tones would create different currents in a wire. Their next agenda was to build a device with a membrane that could convert those tones to varying electric currents and a receiver to convert the varying currents back to human sounds at the other end.
It would happen that while Bell was working on his harmonic telegraph, he heard a sound over the wire. This was the sound of a vibrating clock spring.
Alexander Graham Bell, the Scotsman who invented the telephone, experimented with giant man-carrying kites during the first decade of the 20th Century.
Bell spoke to his assistant Watson who was in another room, using the instrument and said: "Mr. Watson, come here, I want to see you." Mr. Watson came to the room where Bell was and declared that he heard and understood him. That was the first telephone call.
On 14 February 1876, Graham Bell filed the patent for his telephone at the United States Patent Office, 2 hours before a similar device developed by Elisha Gray. The two well-known inventors both independently designed devices that could transmit sound along electrical wires.
This caused a legal battle between both parties over the invention of the telephone, which Bell won in the end.
The news of the first telephone device spread like wildfire. The first telephone link from Boston to Somerville, Massachusetts was completed in 1877. Between 1877 and 1880, 47,900 telephones were being used in the United States.
By 1881, the telephone service between Boston and Providence had been completed. Bell also went on to inaugurate a 1,520 km telephone link between Chicago and New York on 18 October 1892. Bell would then start his Telephone Company in 1877. After buying out major competitors, he would name the company American Telephone and Telegraph Co., which went on to become American only telephone company until 1984.
In 1878, the first telephone exchanges were first established. Subscribers of telephones were required to connect their lines to each other. This was why early telephone were released in pairs.
11 years later, Almon B. Strowger developed a switch which made it easy for a line to connect any of other lines with the use of sliders and relays. Strowger was granted a patent for his device on Mach 11, 1891. It would go down in history as the first automatic telephone exchange. To place a call, subscribers had to tap a button a required number of times to produce the required number of impulses. The rotary dial in 1896 later replaced the button.
Pay Phones were first introduced in 1889. William Gray invented it. He first installed it in Hartford Bank. Back then, people paid for the use of pay phones after the end of their calls.
Pay Phones became very popular especially in the United States where there were over 100,000 payphones. At the start of the 21st century, there were more than 2 million pay phones in the US. However, since the rapid development of mobile technology, the use of pay phones has been on a steady decline.
The very first cordless phones were used in 1986. In 1990, these phones were granted a frequency range of 900 MHz by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
This high-frequency range allowed these phones to run on less power and less interference. In 1994, digital cordless phones were introduced. A year later the digital spread spectrum was developed. These two developments enabled the security of cordless phones and prevented eavesdropping of telephone conversations. In 1998, digital cordless phones used a frequency range of 2.4 GHz. In the world we live in today, the frequency range of mobile phones is 5.8 GHz.
Mobile phones were first designed for vehicles. AT&T launched them in 1946. They were not popularly used because they were big in size and had limited range. Cellular networks in 1980 replaced them.
Motorola introduced the first hand-held cellular phone in 1973, and since then the mobile phone network has continued to grow across the globe.

For A Taste of St. Croix, the Second Time Was the Charm
Susan Ellis

After a lukewarm event last November, A Taste of St. Croix reclaimed its place Thursday as a premier event when hundreds of residents and visitors turned out in their finery to sample some of the best food and drinks from the island.
Hurricanes Maria and Irma devastated the territory in September 2017 and many popular events were cancelled or postponed. Because the Divi Resort was damaged (and still has not reopened) the 18-year-old culinary event, usually held in the spring, was postponed until fall and relocated to downtown Christiansted.
Last November's Taste of St. Croix was well orchestrated and supported in its new location, although the crowd was smaller than in previous years.
On Thursday, supporters came out if full force for the 2019 version of the event.
The crowd and vendors alike seemed to like the new location. There was more room to move between tables and the slight breeze cooled the evening.
Queen Cross Street from the boardwalk to Company Street was lined with white tents and bright lights. Chefs and staff dressed in their best and decorated their tables to display their wares to the best advantage.
Bellows International, Prestige Wine Group, West Indian Company, Leatherback Brewing Company, Mutiny Island Vodka and Caribbout VI (Coca Cola) lined one block with bottles and bottles of their best wines, liquors, beer and soda. In between bites, partiers grabbed a sip of this or that.

Nigel Walwyn took part in the event for the first time to introduce his fruited rum – Ou Oui – to St. Croix. It has taken 10 years to develop the two fruit-flavored rums – passion fruit and guava pineapple. He mixed the rums to come up with a sangria blend and rum punch with a fresh fruit taste.
"It was launched 18 months ago in Atlanta, which is our headquarters. I was looking for the right time to bring it back home," Walwyn said as he poured samples for guests.
Another first time participant, Maggie Root of Double D's Roadhouse Grill said they were excited to be there. The company, owned by Daniel Krivensky and Daniel Andrews, puts on the Tuesday beach barbeque at the Hotel on the Cay. The aroma of brisket, pork chops and scalloped potatoes carried down the street and drew a crowd – resulting in the coveted People's Choice award. DD recently opened a restaurant in Christiansted by Zeny's.

Salt Great Pond is a new restaurant – just one month old – on St. Croix's south shore. Owners Chris and Kelly Booth used fresh produce from Art Farm to concoct a duck soup with gooseberry that tasted like Thanksgiving dinner. They also prepared an entree and a smooth creamy dessert for their first time in the competition.
Although the Fred has not opened its restaurant yet, Chef Ashley McKinnon served up Korean tacos for the boutique hotel's first Taste entry, winning first place for appetizers. Scot Newell, The Fred's food and beverage manager, poured gallons of tangy shrubs for customers – many came back for more than one. The Fred's beautiful table also won Best Presentation.
Making up the remaining 30 plus entries were familiar restaurants and caterers: Brew STX, Cibone, Dashi, Kallaloo Man, Spratnet Beach Bar, Nauti Bar and Grill, Lighthouse Mission, Kim's, Ridge to Reef Farm, Chris' Hideway and Un Amore.
Braata, Chef Aaron Catering, Cloud 9 Ultra Lounge, DDE Cuisine, Doughboy Pretzels and Empress Fresh Foods participated along with whimsical named food purveyors such as Just Desserts, Queen's Maubi, Misfit Island Munchies, The Sweet Fairy and Sweet Stuff.
The event started at 6 p.m. and partygoers trickled onto the street. By 7:30 p.m., the food tables were teeming with women adorned in gold lame' and sequins. Others swirled in silk, satin and filmy organza in vibrant colors.

The mood was friendly and celebratory – people shared comments about a just tasted amazing bite with strangers who reciprocated with their own recommendations.
Jill Durnan, a former St. Croix chef, shared hugs with many of the chefs and business owners. She last participated in Taste in 2013 and for several years before that. This was her first time as a guest and she was enthusiastic about the food and wine.
"I'm happy St. Croix is keeping Taste going," Durnan said.
Claire Roker celebrated her birthday with a ticket to Taste and her friend Mary Moorhead. Roker said she saw friends she hadn't seen in a while. She pronounced the food "good" and the wine "excellent."
"It's crowded. It's lovely. Any occasion to socialize is lovely," Moorhead added.
A list of winners can be seen here. Over the weekend organizers released the winners of People's Choice: Double D's (first) and Braata (second), and Best Presentation, The Fred (first) and Nauti Bar and Grill (second).

NEW YORK—Today at the Forbes Women's Summit, The Rockefeller Foundation announced a commitment to accelerate the number of women leaders in corporate America through the launch of "100×25," an ongoing and multi-faceted campaign that will influence decision makers to achieve the goal of 100 women leading Fortune 500 companies by 2025. 100×25 is the first in a series of campaigns that will ask "what if" questions that will define the future of work and the global economy.
The Foundation also released a new research report conducted by grantee Global Strategy Group on the topic of gender parity in leadership positions in business. The underlying research found that men and women believe corporate America is falling short in terms of advancing gender equality in leadership positions and that business leaders are best positioned to create solutions to the problem.
Currently, only 21 women are at the helm of Fortune 500 companies and only one woman was hired as a CEO in 2015. This reality is at odds with Americans' perceptions of progress toward gender parity in leadership positions in 2016. According to The Rockefeller Foundation's new research report, 9 in 10 Americans think there are more women leading Fortune 500 companies than there actually are. And 40 percent of Americans think women should make up at least half of the top executives at Fortune 500 companies.
Americans also agree that business leaders and companies have a significant role to play in reducing the gender gap in leadership positions. The Foundation's research showed 84 percent of Americans agree that businesses have a responsibility to actively recruit women into leadership positions. Yet, only one-third of Americans said their current workplace places a high priority on having women in leadership positions.
The 100×25 campaign asks CEOs—both male and female—to commit to implementing a change within their company that will work to achieve gender equality in the workplace and bring more women into the C-suite. These changes are not only meant to benefit women in leadership, but employees at every-level throughout the workforce.
"Fostering an environment where women can reach the senior-most levels of executive leadership is not only imperative to gender parity, it's critical to our own economic vitality—to ensuring that American companies remain competitive in the global marketplace," said Frederic Cumenal, chief executive officer of Tiffany & Co.
The campaign will shine a spotlight on companies that are doing innovative things to support the advancement of women (from mentorship programs to commitments around pay equity), ignite a conversation on why the private sector—particularly the Fortune 500—has been the hardest glass ceiling to crack, and engage in a public dialogue with influencers from board members to hiring managers and current CEOs.
What if there were 100 women CEOs of Fortune 500 companies by 2025?
If the gender gap in leadership positions is closed, Americans believe there will be a significant shift toward more inclusive workplaces and more young women will dream of and strive to achieve success in business.
The Foundation's research found Americans feel that having more women in leadership positions would have significant benefits, including reducing the pay gap between men and women for the same work (76 percent), changing workplace policies in ways that benefit both men and women (74 percent), and attracting a more diverse workforce (71 percent). Additionally, two-thirds of men and women said it is especially important for younger women starting their careers to have more women in leadership positions as role models.
Business leaders and companies interested in getting involved can learn more about the 100×25 campaign by visiting rockefellerfoundation.org/100×25 or by joining the conversation #100×25.
The Rockefeller Foundation works with communities around the world to build greater resilience and advance more inclusive economies. The 100×25 campaign is part of the Foundation's inclusive economies portfolio, which is made up of initiatives that aim to create more opportunities for more people regardless of their age, gender, or economic background.

Garcinia Cambogia Has Become A Sensation In The Weight Loss Supplements World
September 2, 2014 Published by: Pat Mitchell
Couple years back, Garcinia Cambogia became a sensation within the weight loss supplements world. This dietary supplement is touted to control fat and suppress appetite. The main ingredient is actually a sour fruit commonly known as pot tamarind, which grows naturally in some regions of India and Southeast Asia. Traditionally its used as an ingredient on dishes, often a substitute to lime or lemon. Its also used as a medicinal herb for digestive ailments, and also as a carminative, to remove or expel gas in our digestive tract.
What sets Garcinia Cambogia as possibly the best magic weight loss ingredient is the rich presence of Hydroxycitric Acid or HCA in the fruits rind. This type of acid is known to inhibit production of fat from sugar or glucose. Early small group studies have indicated positive effects of HCA in increasing weight loss; however, there is still great demand for further research. There are some who argue that Garcinia Cambogia has no effect on their diet, or did not contribute to additional weight loss compared to those who didn't take the said diet supplement. The product is still widely sold because there are still some people who attest in its appetite suppressing property. The site is a great resource of Garcinia Cambogia you may check it.

Like the other Moon jellyfish this particular jellyfish sculpture has a beautiful ethereal translucent dome, but with the added feature of being ribbed which gives the illusion of it swimming forward. Under the dome is a brown and gold band with an array of colorful tendrils descending from within. This design has the Jellyfish floating over a beautiful seascape bottom covered with algae and amazingly detailed sea anemones. This all in a shape almost twice the size of our standard side swimmer, making every feature stand out in greater detail. Each original handmade sculpture is a one of a kind piece. No two sculptures are alike.

Lawmakers say veterans are being targeted by foreign agents trying to meddle in the election

WASHINGTON — Veterans are a key target for online fraud and attempts to meddle in U.S. elections, with bogus web pages and charities aimed at the military community pushing propaganda and disinformation to gin up political discord, tech industry leaders and lawmakers said Wednesday.
"Veterans wield considerable influence and credibility in their communities," said Rep. Mark Takano, D-Calif., chairman of the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs, at a hearing about the issue. "That esteemed trust in our veterans is now being hijacked by foreign imposters online and used to spread harmful disinformation, political propaganda and fake news. Foreign actors are stealing veterans' voices and images in order to influence political opinions heading into an election year."
In September, Vietnam Veterans of America, a nonprofit veterans advocacy group, released a report that found veterans are a big target of foreign agents who spread disinformation, sew political division, attempt financial scams through bogus charities and recruit spies.
Election meddling and disinformation campaigns online have increased since 2016, representatives from some social media giants said Wednesday at the House hearing. Most fraudulent accounts are terminated via automatic tools employed by Facebook and Twitter before any user has a chance to see them, according to representatives from both companies. However, foreign agents are able to operate accounts undetected and potentially interact with hundreds of thousands of people online. Sometimes misrepresenting themselves as legitimate organizations.
"Some bad actors create multiple pages, some of which may represent veterans organizations," said Nathanial Gleicher, head of security policy for Facebook. "Others might impersonate organizations that focus on politically sensitive issues."
The social media representatives told lawmakers that their companies don't have a good way to judge the scope of scams on their platforms or nefarious foreign agents looking to rattle the cage with voters. However, Twitter identified 50,258 Russian-linked accounts tweeting political content during the 2016 election. But those accounts are fewer than 0.02% of total accounts on Twitter at the time, according to the company's data. At the same time, these malicious accounts sent out 2.12 million tweets.
Social media giants such as Facebook and Twitter have made efforts to squash foreign interference, they said. But in general, lawmakers on Capitol Hill have not been satisfied with the tech industry's progress, though social media companies contend it can be challenging picking out propaganda outlets.
"We certainly want to avoid a whack-a-mole situation," Kevin Kane, public policy manager of Twitter, said Wednesday about being careful over who gets banned from the social media platform. "Twitter engages in intensive efforts to identify and combat state-sponsored and non-state-sponsored hostile attempts to abuse our platforms. Our work on this issue is not done, nor will it ever be."
Concerns in Washington go beyond Russian meddling in U.S. elections. According to the VVA's findings, Russians have posed as Islamic State terrorists to intimidate journalists and veteran advocates.
"It's important to note that the military families were not chosen at random," said Kristofer Goldsmith, chief investigator and associate director for policy and government affairs for the VVA, at the House hearing. "One was a reporter at Military.com, the others were prominent members of the community of military and veteran advocates. I want to emphasize this point: Russian hackers who were pretending to be ISIS sent terroristic threats to advocates and reporters."
The VVA had found a foreign-backed social media page with twice the amount of followers than its own page using the veterans group's logo and name. The foreign page posted a plagiarized Stars and Stripes story reporting a proposal from President Donald Trump to cut veterans' benefits to expand access to private health care. The article was basically true, but when foreign agents posted it four months later, the date was altered and the original reporter's byline was removed to make it look more immediate and urgent, in hopes of stirring up aging veterans into a false panic, according to the VVA.

I sat up in bed all of a sudden trying to figure out what or who was making the noise. I heard movement inside the house, someone was in the house, I was hearing footsteps. Was it a burglar or an intruder, who could it possibly be, my boyfriend and I were the only two people who had keys to the house and he was out of state for work, I just spoke with him a few hours ago and he didn't seem to be anywhere around. I nervously got out of bed. I needed a weapon, I could not hold a gun not to even talk of wielding a knife, I had a taser and mace in my purse. My purse was on the carpet by my bedside table. I picked up my purse from the floor and opened it to take the mace and taser out. I heard the footsteps again, a door opened and then closed. My heart skipped a beat, I began to wonder what room the intruder went into, I began to ask myself if it was a good idea to confront the intruder or call the police. I decided to go and face the intruder myself hopefully whoever it was would be caught unawares, I opened the door which was already slightly ajar and tiptoed, the light in the living room and the kitchen was on. A lady was standing by the fridge staring at the picture I had taken with my boyfriend on our last cruise. She left her Michael Kors purse on the kitchen table, she seemed to be well dressed and her perfume smelled really good. She probably felt my presence and turned around to look at me.
Where's the end of this story?

Q: open3 process leaks? I found a comment that hints at a problem I think I'm seeing, in which a forked child of IPC::Open3 is running the main program code instead of just execing like I would expect.
Does anyone else have experience with "leaking" processes out of IPC::Open3? I looked over the library source, and didn't see anything outrageously wrong.
This is with Perl 5.8.4 (yeah, I know... but it can't be updated) running on Solaris 10.

A: While this has since been fixed, the open3 from 5.8.4 could throw an exception from the child, meaning both the parent and the child could "return" from open3.
While you could handle that, it's a bit complicated.* It would be easier to replace your IPC/Open3.pm with the one from a newer Perl.
Better yet, if you don't need something as low-level as IPC::Open3, you could use a higher-level module such as IPC::Run3 (simpler) or IPC::Run (more powerful).
* — At a minimum,
my $parent_pid = $$;
my $pid = eval { open3(...) };
if (!$pid) {
    if ($parent_pid == $$) {
        # Exception in parent.
        die($@);
    } else {
        # Exception in child (pre-exec).
        print STDERR $@;
        _exit(255);
    }
}


An attractive star chart, one of twelve monthly maps, each extending from the German horizon to about 45 degrees altitude. This particular example looks from east to south. The map shows many of the important constellations as well as naming some of the brightest stars on the chart. Prominent are: Ophiuchus and Antinous amongst others. Ophiuchus is a large constellation located around the celestial equator. Its name is from the Greek "serpent-bearer", and it is commonly represented as a man grasping the snake that is represented by the constellation Serpens. Ophiuchus was one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd-century astronomer Ptolemy, and it remains one of the 88 modern constellations. 'Antinous' -a now obsolete constellation- has origins dating back to the year 132 and the Emperor Hadrian. He had the constellation placed in the sky to honour a favourite youth of his court, who according to myth sacrificed himself in order to prolong the life of the emperor. Later astronomers recognised this constellation as the youth Ganymede, who the Greek god Zeus had brought to Olympus by his eagle Aquila, in order to serve as cup-bearer to the gods. The stars of this constellation have since been given to the constellation of Aquila. Johann Elert Bode was a self taught astronomer whose texts and atlases on the subject were, and remain, hugely influential.

Q: How to bind web data with fixed and recycling items So I have an arraylist of object coming via requests with json..! I got the data using the model class.
I want the data to bind with this layout (see the pic), now the first 3 objects from the model class must bind with 1,2 and 3 respectively and the rest meaning the fourth object and beyond should bind with 4 and keeps recycling till it ends..!
basically I want 1,2  and 3 to be fixed and the 4 to be recycled..!

I thought of doing 2 requests, one for the fixed widgets and the second
  for 4 with a recyclerview starting with index 3, but hitting two
  identical requests isn't a good practice I guess..


Here are a couple of ways to follow additions to a log file.
This tails the log file and the '-f' tells tail to follow the file, so anything new added to the file will also be printed to the screen.
The +F option turns on less 'follow mode'. It is similar to tail -f but you will have the benefits of less, like scrolling up and down. To stop tailing, use Ctrl-C and to resume it, press Shift-F.


LS3P was delighted to welcome 20 students from Lincoln High School to the Charleston office last week.

Q: Openfire server, multiple connection, route.all-resources doesn't work We use http-bind with BOSH and Openfire (3.8.2) as backend and Strophe library (JS) on frontend for our chat application.
Every user gets a specified unique resource by connection. That means, that a user can be logged in different devices/browsers at once (multiple connection, e.g user@example.com/resource1, user@example.com/resource2 etc.). Ideally, we want messages to be sent to all connected resources.
We set route.all-resources setting="true" and the connection priority is equal for all user resources, but behavior hasn't changed at all (chat messages received only last connected user resource).
Could anybody suggest solutions or ideas to solve this issue?
Thanks

A: You may need either route.all-resources or route.really-all-resources
route.really-all-resources = true will send message to all sessions with a non-negative priority
route.all-resources = true will send messages to all sessions that share the highest non-negative priority

Tax no greater India Today Insight
Winston Churchill had prophetically remarked: "For a nation to attempt to tax itself into prosperity is like a guy status in a bucket and seeking to carry himself up through the take care of." India is in a conundrum of kinds. As tax revenues slide and the need to spend more weighs at the minds of policymakers, there may be a temptation to impose higher taxes. But it'd be ill-recommended.
An Overview of a Personal Injury Lawyer and their Importance
3 Essential Reasons Why You Should Have A Lawyer On Standby
Let's examine the income tax paid in India with different nations. Indians incomes more than Rs 10 lakh per annum pay over 30 in keeping with cent in their earning as profits tax, with an additional 4 consistent with cents as cess. Those incomes much less than Rs 5 lakh a year pay no taxes while those in the earnings range of Rs five-10 lakh pay 20 in line with cent tax, plus the 4 in keeping with cent cess.
China has 4 slabs of individual income tax-beginning from 25 percent for the ones earning among 9,000 to 30,000 yuan a month (Rs ninety,000 to Rs three hundred,000 a month). It goes up to forty-five consistent with cents for monthly earning of over eighty,000 yuan. In the US, tax charges range among 22 in keeping with cents and 35 in step with cents. Several international locations have higher private income tax rates, along with Denmark, Sweden, and Japan, however they provide an expansive social security internet that consists of country-run colleges, healthcare, daycare centers, unemployment allowance, housing et al.At 35 according to cent, company tax in India is some of the maxima within the world. In 1980, corporate tax charges around the arena averaged 38.8 in keeping with cents, and 46.6 according to cent when weighted via GDP. However, through the years, nations realized the impact better corporate tax charges have on enterprise funding choices. In 2018, the tax costs in maximum countries averaged between 23 and 26.4 in keeping with cents. The US, which until 2017 had the fourth-highest corporate earnings tax charge inside the world, introduced reforms in 2018 and lowered it toward the middle of the 208 nations surveyed for the International Tax Competitiveness Index. Most nations have company tax fees below 30 percent even as India is conserving on to the 35 according to cent charge. Other nations levying such fees include Malta, the UAE, and Puerto Rico.
In last 12 months' finances, then finance minister Arun Jaitley had decreased company tax to 25 in step with cent for companies with a turnover of Rs 250 crore or less, partially pleasant a promise made by way of the Narendra Modi authorities. Now, there is stress at the government to reform India's company tax structure to remain globally competitive. Sliding investment by way of the non-public quarter during the last few years affords a compelling case for a greater globally-aligned tax coverage for the corporate region.
US President Donald Trump took an intensive selection final 12 months to lower corporate tax costs from 35 percent to 21 in keeping with cents. If India maintains its excessive tax charge, it gives sufficient reason for most important companies that create jobs and power innovation to move towards lower tax jurisdictions. In April this yr, for the duration of the Lok Sabha election marketing campaign, Jaitley, although, had reiterated the promise of decreasing tax charges.
On the oblique taxes front, the Goods and Services tax expanded the tax base to herald three.4 million new taxpayers and made taxation more obvious and difficult to steer clear of. At a time while simplification of approaches is the key, GST compliance has been a venture. There is a case for lowering tax charges on positive commodities, together with cement (currently 28 in step with cents), and decreasing the range of tax slabs from four to three. However, reforms inside the GST might not be addressed in the July 5 price range in view that all GST-related selections are taken through the GST Council.
Evidently, there may be a crisis of sales that the authorities will have to address. The government had budgeted for a projected net tax revenue increase of Rs 17. Five lakh crore, however, estimates advocate it is able to sooner or later manage handiest Rs 16. Three lakh crore. In any such scenario, it has to also chorus from excessive tax vigilantism. Start-united states have often complained about excessive tax policing. The government wishes to understand that there's a satisfactory line among powerful tax administration and intrusive management. The Union finances might be important to take a look at for the authorities as it battles a painful monetary slowdown and a financial sector that is in disarray. The undertaking will be of reviving boom and moderating government revenue.
Beyond Akash Vijayvargiya: When PM Modi reprimanded BJP leaders


Salman Khan's upcoming production venture Notebook stars debutants Pranutan Behl and Zaheer Iqbal. While promoting the film, Salman revealed why the movie was more than a love story set in Kashmir, and what's more challenging for him - acting or producing films.
Salman Khan's upcoming production venture Notebook is a love story set in Kashmir. The Nitin Kakkar directorial marks the debut of Mohnish Behl's daughter Pranutan along with Zaheer Iqbal.
During a media interaction while promoting the film, Salman spoke in length about Notebook, his acting career and the present situation in Kashmir.
Q) As a producer, what were your creative inputs in Notebook?
When the film came to me, I knew it was a good film. It came to me a long time ago and I was supposed to do it, but then my image changed. So, I couldn't. For example, when Subhash Ghai sir came to me with Yuvvraj, I said I wanted to do Hero. But later, we launched Sooraj (Pancholi) with that. So, it is not that we have scripts piling up that I don't want to do. These are the films I really wanted to do but wasn't able to for various reasons.
Also, we run every script through dad (Salim Khan). We tell him what the plot is. Then we show him the end rushes. He tells us what to keep, what to remove and what would exactly work.
Q) What is that one advice you would give to today's actors?
Stay out of trouble. But you never know, you may be staying out of trouble but trouble comes and kicks you.
Q. You give special attention to the music of your films.
Yes. That has been a constant for us always. Both Hero and Loveyatri had great music. We want that if someone hears our songs even once, they should get hooked to it. So, all the songs in this film are great too. There is a kind of a recall value. "Bumro Bumro" was a hit back then, but now it is sounding even better.
Q. What do you enjoy more, producing or acting?
I enjoy both. But there is more hard work in producing a film. Because when you are a producer, you have to be hands-on. Of course, the monetary part of it and other matters are taken care by the team but looking at the script and music takes up a lot of my energy. Because I am also working, and then I have to look at this also. I also look at the rushes and the edits.
Q. Would you also direct a film at some point?
I wanted to start my career as a director, but that didn't happen. Thank God for it! I do have a sense for good scrips, but just when you think you know the formula, destiny comes and slaps you. And then we have you guys, one thing goes wrong and you know. You guys flopped my Rs 140 crore film, Tubelight!
Q. You have starred in some good romantic films in your acting career.
Till the time you don't have a love story, the film will never work. You might have a great story, but I believe it is important to have a great love story in that. In The Notebook, the beauty is that they fall in love with not each other's looks, but with their hearts.
Q. You have launched several actors. What do you see in the actors that makes you launch them?
I have always believed in one thing. If you give someone a double look, you know there is something special in that person. If you have walked into a place and nobody has noticed you, then forget it.
My father told me, 'When you enter some place, don't do anything overtly so that people notice you. Don't make yourself noticed. Without you trying, people should notice you. There should be some curiosity about you, and when they ask you, they should know that you are my son.' But that took a good four-five years to happen. So, I started training, body-building, modelling and then people starting noticing me.
So, I look for what I didn't have as a kid. They make me notice them. That is a good quality to have.
Q. With all the attention you get, does it become overwhelming at any point?
Yes, it something does get overwhelming. There are times when I just don't want the attention, but I get it anyway. It gets on to me. I have to sacrifice my privacy, but maybe it is a good thing.
Q. Whom would you consider your teacher/mentor?
My father. Actually, more than my father, it is my mother. From my father, I got a scripting sense and all. But it is my mother who taught me that one should be morally correct, ethically correct and principally correct.
Q. With the kind of experience you have in films, do you now pre-empt a movie's fate?
No, nothing. Like for Tubelight, I did say that we shouldn't have an Eid release. Because people who step out of their houses on Eid are people who throw some 'chillar' and do 'masti'. They want to really have fun. An Eid release should be a celebratory film. We knew what the script was, and I knew this film should not have released on Eid. But then we also didn't want to let go of the festive release. People went to celebrate Eid, and came out crying. So, I still think Tubelight should not have released on any festival. It should have had a regular Friday release. Now that people are watching the film on satellite and digital, they love that movie.
Q. You have a larger than life image. Do you think because of that your audiences don't allow you to experiment with your roles?
Have you ever seen me in an actual courtroom? If I had that larger than life image, I wouldn't ever need to be in there. So no, I don't have a larger than life image at all.
Q. There are rumours that you will be making web content.
Web series, but the clean ones. I don't like the rubbish that is going on. I have been approached to do something on the digital platform, and I have not said no to it. My content is going to be Hum Aapke Hain Koun type of content. I am all for clean content for the web.
Q. Notebook celebrates love – love in Kashmir and love between two people who don't know each other. But, right now love is something that is far removed from Kashmir.
When we heard about that, it just killed us. This film's backdrop is exactly the same. The kids come and leave their guns.
Q. Notebook is also about education in Kashmir. How important do you think education is in order to change the circumstances in Kashmir?
Everybody receives education, but it is important to receive the right 'taleem' (training). The boy who did this must have also got an education, but maybe his principles were wrong. It is of utmost importance that one gets the right 'taleem' along with the right education.


Not all non-competition covenants are judged with the same degree of scrutiny.
On the pro-enforcement side is the "sale-of-business" covenant, under which the restrictions normally are examined only for their reasonableness as to time, territory and scope. On the anti-enforcement side is the traditional employment-based covenant, which usually requires an enforcing party to show not only that the covenant is reasonable, but also tied to a legitimate business interest. The burdens on an employee's ability to earn a living, and the public interest are usually considered as well under an exacting "reasonableness" analysis.
The history of covenants not to compete is quite interesting (to me), and many would argue that the old justifications and presumptions that courts used long ago do not apply in a more modern economy. Sale-of-business covenants were the first types of covenants to be enforced by courts, and for the most part, they pose few enforcement problems. Employment covenants are a different story.
In the past on this blog, I have been critical of the sale-of-business nomenclature, because it is underinclusive and suggests to courts, lawyers, and (most importantly) clients that the test only applies to a covenant signed in connection with a business sale. Sounds logical.
In point of fact, courts analyze a wide range of covenants under this more relaxed standard. Among these are covenants in franchise agreements and shareholder agreements. Last week, a Virginia court - in a matter of first impression - added another type of agreement to this list: settlement agreements.
This makes sense. Many settlement agreements are the product of arms-length negotiations and pose few problems in terms of being adhesive. That is not always the case, though. For many terminated employees, a severance agreement may not be negotiable at all and may be presented as a take-it-or-leave-it offer. A lot depends on the employee's position within the company, and pre-existing contracts he or she has which may impact the terms of any release.
In McClain & Co., Inc. v. Carucci, the employer and employee reached a post-employment settlement agreement after Carucci apparently embezzled nearly $300,000. The agreement called for him to pay the employer $250,000, grant it a 30-month non-compete, and exchange releases. The court examined the few other cases on point and concluded that the "sale-of-business" test applied to the settlement agreement, at least in Carucci's case.
The court did not lay down a per se rule on this, nor should it have. A court when confronting a non-compete in a release agreement likely will examine a number of factors, including the degree to which it was negotiated, the benefits the employee received (such as garden-leave), the circumstances of the employee's termination, and other unique circumstances.
