The Spanish Civil War
Frances Lannon — 2014-06-06 in History
Author : Frances Lannon
The Spanish Civil War of 1936-39 was of enormous international as well as national significance. In this gripping volume, Frances Lannon explains how this internal conflict between democracy and its enemies escalated to involve Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and the Soviet Union. We go behind the scenes to find out the true story of the bitter fighting within the sides, not just between them. The experiences of the men and women caught up in the fighting are highlighted. For them, and for a world on the brink of the Second World War, the stakes were agonisingly high.
Soviet Airmen in the Spanish Civil War

Author : Paul Whelan
Between September 1936 and February 1939, the Soviet Union was covertly aiding the Spanish Republic in its civil war with the right wing forces of General Francisco Franco, which had revolted against the government and were being aided semi-covertly by Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany. The Soviets were not only supplying the Republic with oil, gasoline, and food stuffs, but also the aircraft, tanks, artillery pieces, and small arms they needed to conduct the war. The Soviets also began sending military advisers and personnel from all branches of the service, plus engineers, translators, merchant seamen and war industry factory workers. Of the approximately 3,000 people sent from the Soviet Union, 772 were from the air force, and of these 100 were killed in action or died as a result of accidents or wounds received in battle. AUTHOR: Paul Whelan is a seventy-three-year-old self-styled aviation historian. He lives with his wife of fifty-five years in the North Jersey town of Bloomfield. His working life was spent in the construction industry, but he has always been interested in aviation history and the Spanish Civil War. He has written several articles for Scale Aircraft Modelling, Skyways, Air Wars, Small Air Forces Observer and Historia y Vida. He has been working on the present project for many years. 568 images
The Battle for Spain
Antony Beevor — 2012-08-23 in History
Author : Antony Beevor
'Fascination lies in the human drama, superbly captured by Beevor ... A vivid chronicle of a dreadful time and place' Max Hastings, Sunday Times 'A moving masterpiece' TLS The civil war that tore Spain apart between 1936 and 1939 and attracted liberals and socialists from across the world to support the cause against Franco was one of the most hard-fought and bitterest conflicts of the 20th century: a war of atrocities and political genocide and a military testing ground before WWII for the Russians, Italians and Germans, whose Condor Legion so notoriously destroyed Guernica. Antony Beevor's account narrates the origins of the Civil War and its violent and dramatic course from the coup d'etat in July 1936 through the savage fighting of the next three years which ended in catastrophic defeat for the Republicans in 1939. And he succeeds especially well in unravelling the complex political and regional forces that played such an important part in the origins and history of the war.

Tank Combat in Spain
Anthony J Candil — 2021-05-03 in History
Author : Anthony J Candil
Although Spain had been for many years on the periphery of the great affairs of Europe, within a few months of the Civil War breaking out in 1936, three out of the four major European powers—Italy, Germany, and the Soviet Union—decided to intervene. Spain turned out to be the perfect proving ground to carry out controlled, realistic experiments with live weapons and troops. This book covers the theories of the three main contributors that provided armor to the warring parties in the civil war, how those contributions shaped combat, and how the lessons learned were then applied to tank combat in World War II. The use of tanks in the Spanish Civil War wedded traditional war to modern technology. The fighting in Spain did not offer any easy answers, however, to the question of infantry-armor cooperation, primarily because the tanks supplied were not very worthy and had been supplied in small numbers, even though the Republicans organized an 'armored division.' The situation for the tanks on the Nationalist side was so bad in practical terms that they reused captured Russian armor in their units. Tank employment in Spain did offer many lessons, but the lessons did not always lie in what was done or accomplished but precisely on what was not done and was not accomplished.

Spain in Our Hearts
Adam Hochschild — 2016-04-07 in History
Author : Adam Hochschild
From the moment it began in 1936, the Spanish Civil War became the political question of the age. Hitler and Mussolini quickly sent aircraft, troops and supplies to the right-wing generals bent on overthrowing Spain's elected government. Millions of people around the world felt passionately that rapidly advancing fascism must be halted in Spain; if not there, where? More than 35,000 volunteers from dozens of other countries went to help defend the Spanish Republic. Adam Hochschild, the acclaimed author of King Leopold's Ghost, evokes this tumultuous period mainly through the lives of Americans involved in the war. A few are famous, such as Ernest Hemingway, but others are less familiar. They include a nineteen-year-old Kentucky woman, a fiery leftist who came to wartime Spain on her honeymoon; a young man who ran away from his Pennsylvania college and became the first American casualty in the battle for Madrid; and a swashbuckling Texas oilman who covertly violated US law and sold Generalissimo Francisco Franco most of the fuel for his army. Two New York Times reporters, fierce rivals, covered the war from opposite sides, with opposite sympathies. There are Britons in Hochschild's cast of characters as well: one, a London sculptor, fought with the American battalion; another, who had just gone down from Cambridge, joined Franco's army and found himself fighting against the Americans; and a third is someone whose experience of combat in Spain had a profound effect on his life, George Orwell.

Getting dressed and looking myself over in the mirror I seemed out of place. I wasn't the night scene type of person that Brett loved to be. Kat seemed like she needed to step away from the yacht and I agreed with her. It seemed that we've become too confined to one area and we all needed to stretch our legs a bit.
"You're not wearing that are you?" Brett asked and I turned to look at him.
"What's wrong with this?" I asked as I stood there and waited for his complete verdict.
"There are only two things you need to wear that to," he said as he stood and walked over to my side of the closet, "and that's to a funeral or a wedding."
"It's how I normally dress," I said, "and I think I look sexy."
"I'm not saying you don't," he said peaking over his shoulder for a second, "it's just not night material."
"Fine master," I said as I sat myself down on the bed, "pick me out something, but we need to hurry." I noticed that the sheets had been changed and the room smelled a lot cleaner. I didn't expect the staff to clean our rooms, but it was nice not having anything to worry about.
"Alright since you don't have anything I guess you'll just have to wear something from my side of the closet," he said giving up and grabbing some of his clothes for me to wear.
"I'm not wearing those," I said as he handed me a pair of ripped jeans, "you don't even have back pockets."
"So?" He said shrugging his shoulders.
"So where am I going to stick my wallet?" I asked laying the clothes down on the bed beside me.
"Just put them on and stop making that face," he said shaking his head.
"I'm not making a face," I said as I stood and started undressing again.
"Well I don't smell anything stinky," he said laughing slightly, "I do believe those were clean."
"You don't even know what's clean and what isn't?" I asked as I grabbed his pants they were tight when I pulled them up and zipped them.
"Not really," he said, "as long as it didn't stink I shoved it in my bag."
"Where the hell are the buttons to these?" I asked noticing they were missing.
"Fell off," he said, "they'll stay up you have the ass for them."
"Fine," I said as I started unbuttoning my shirt so that I could change into the shirt he picked out for me.
"The best way to tell if someone has looked at your ass is for them to tell you what color underwear you have on," he said, "that's half the reason I wear what I do it's a really nice ice breaker."
"For what kind of people?" I asked laughing at him.
"The only kind that is of any use to me," he said winking at me, "fuck I'm so excited I don't think I've ever done this with you since college."
"We've went out together after college," I said as I tugged the tight shirt over my head.
"Yeah, to drink champagne and listen to boring music," he said as he grabbed my hand and guided me towards the mirror.
"I look like shit," I said tugging on the shirt trying to make it stop clinging to my chest and stomach.
"You look hot," he said as someone knocked on our door. He left me studying myself in the mirror to open the door.
"Ya'll ready to go?" Carl asked as he entered the room. I turned to see that he wasn't dressed in his staff uniform that he was wearing an outfit similar to most of what was in Brett's closet.
"Yes," Brett said, "come on Willy."
"Ok," I said turning and following them out the door into the hall.
"We're running a little late, but it won't take long to get to the dock," Carl said, "then Kat has ordered a limo for the four of us."
"Riding in style," Brett said as we walked down the hall. When we entered the stairs we went down to the staff floor. Then Carl led us to the back of the boat where two small boats were waiting and already in the water. We had to walk down a small ladder to get to the boats where Kat was waiting with everyone else.
"Where's Walker?" Brett asked as we all got settled and to boats started speeding towards the shore.
"He has to stay on the boat," she said offering Brett a short smile, "and besides I have my eye on someone else."
"Who?" I asked crossing my arms.
"I'm not telling," she said as she winked at me.
"Remember what Mom said?" I asked, "Don't become a slut."
"William I'm old enough to think for myself," she said, "let's not ruin the night by having morals."
"Hell yes," Brett said punching his fists into the air. Then he leaned back relaxing for the rest of the way. Kat didn't say what exactly we'd be doing and I didn't want to talk to her about it either. What ever happened I decided to just go along with her plans.
"Alright, we're here," Carl said as the boats slowed down. When we were cleared to dock the two small boats we exited them and stepped onto the wooden dock.
"Ok, it's just us four for the limo," Kat said as we approached the car. Our driver opened our door and we slid in.
"This will get us ahead of the line outside of the club we're going to," Carl said, "I've not been inside myself so that's why I wanted to come here."
"Well look at you two, finally acting like spoiled assed billionaires," Brett said grabbing the bottle of chilled champagne that was sitting on ice in the middle of everyone. Kat grabbed the glasses and after Brett opened the bottle he poured everyone a glass. "We may need to get Willy drunk so that he will enjoy himself."
"You do not," I said shaking my head and taking the glass that Kat offered me.
"Were you complaining?" Kat asked as she handed Carl his glass.
"No," I said holding up my glass ready to take a sip.
"He was," Brett said, "because he didn't have any back pockets."
"You need to mess up your hair a little bit," Kat said looking me over, "you look too boarding school."
"Why don't you both just knock it off?" I said then downed my glass of champagne holding out my glass for more. Kat reached over and ran her fingers through my hair messing up my style.
"There," she said smiling at me, "takes two years off of you right there."
"So Carl what kind of place did you pick out anyway?" Brett asked as the limo eased out into traffic. There was a lot of traffic out tonight so things were moving slow.
"It's the best dance club this far south," Carl said, "I don't know much else as I've never made it in."
"I don't dance," I said causing everyone to laugh.
"We're not surprised," Kat said, "just shake your ass, you'll fit right in."
When we finally arrived the limo slowed to park at the entrance of the club. When we stepped out the small crowd of paparazzi lining the entrance hesitated at first. The bouncers at the entrance stood in our way as well.
"Well let us in," Kat said as she stepped up to the bouncers standing in our away. They were both tall, thick bodied men with security in yellow on their shirts.
"Just because you arrive in a limo it doesn't mean you get V.I.P service, go to the back of the line," the smaller of the two standing there said. He was older than the other one as well as parts of his facial hair was graying. Both men were bald they definitely fit the part of being club authority.
"Look here, I am Kathryn Carlton, I'm here with my brother William and our friends now please step aside," Kat said holding up her driver's license for proof. The camera flashes started blinding us them and I didn't like the attention we were getting. The two men stepped aside then and let us into the club.
"We'll be in the news tomorrow," I said shaking my head, "Dad is going to kill us."
"We'll only be in the stupid tabloid and I bet we'll only have a small picture and Dad refuses to look at those," Kat said, "learn to live a little kiddo, a picture in the paper won't kill our father."
"Fine," I said as we entered two other doors the music blaring in our ears leaving all conversation drowned out by the noise. It was early in the night, but the club was already packed to near capacity and I doubted there will be much more admitted into the club tonight. The D.J was at the far end of the club being in control of keeping everyone dancing. Looking around I wouldn't call what people were doing dancing.
"This club kicks ass!" Brett yelled over the roar of the music. I was following them all deeper into the crowd and we were almost in the middle of everyone. It was warm in here and people were bumping into us as we walked to the middle of all the action.
"Why did we have to come to the exact middle of this mess?" I asked leaning in close to Brett so that he could hear me.
"Less chance of you being groped," he said laughing at the face I made, "it's just a good place to pick up a dance partner."
"I don't want to dance though," I said, "especially the way these people are."
"There's not enough room to do your waltzing shit," Brett said, "so just shake your hot little ass a few times and fit in."
"No," I said looking around, "and don't comment on my ass in public."
"Why not?" Brett asked as a woman grabbed him by the shirt collar dragging him away from me. I was about to answer him, but he left me only winking as he started dancing with the floppy breasted blonde grinding her hips into his. Kat and Carl was dancing with one another and I made my way to the bar. When I got there the bartender slid a small plastic cub over to me.
"What is this?" I asked looking around to see if the cup was even for me.
"It's a complimentary jello shot," he said as he served someone else a drink.
"How do you know I haven't had mine already?" I asked sniffing of the jello before leaning my head back letting it slide into my mouth.
"Because we give you a plastic club band," he said as he handed me the bright orange bracelet.
"Ok, I want a couple more of those jello shots then I want something strong," I said then I turned to see if everyone was still where I had left them. Brett was being sandwiched between two girls and Kat and Carl had moved closer together. Her mouth was moving so I knew she was talking.
"Here you go," the bartender said, "my name is Cole."
"Yeah, I read it on your name tag," I said pointing to it as I lifted the second jello shot to my mouth. Cole smiled then walked around the bar seeing if anyone needed anything then he returned to where I was sitting.
"So you don't dance much do you?" Cole asked leaning over and resting his elbows on the bar.
"Not like that," I said pointing out to the floor, "I bet I don't even do that in bed."
"You don't think?" Cole said laughing. I couldn't believe I just told him that and I felt my face getting hot. It was dark and shadowed in this club the only lights coming from the small different colored strobe lights.
"What is this?" I asked holding up a clear liquid.
"Flavored vodka," he said, "you don't drink either."
"Not really," I said, "I'm damn boring actually."
"What's your name?" He asked as he left me to go tend to someone else. I didn't want to tell him my name at all. It was nice that I was talking to someone, I expected to be bored until Brett and Kat noticed that I wasn't on the dance floor with them. I turned around to see that they were still dancing. From here I could tell that they were sweaty, but now Kat was kissing Carl and Brett had ditched the two girls he had and was now dancing with a different trashy blonde. I turned back around taking a drink of my vodka grimacing and coughing at the strength of the drink.
"My name is Will," I said as Cole returned to my side of the bar. He held out his hand and I shook it.
"Nice to meet you," he said letting go of my hand.
"What's up?" Brett asked putting his arm around my shoulder.
"Nothing," I said turning to look at him.
"Here you go," Cole said as he slid a jello shot to Brett.
"Thanks," Brett said turning to look at me and wink before he slid the jello into his mouth.
"They're complimentary," I said rolling my eyes.
"Oh," he said, "I thought the bartender just wanted my ass."
"Not this time," I said waving the bracelet that was on my wrist in his face, "this is how they keep track of who has had one."
"Oh," Brett said as Cole handed him a green bracelet. They all had the name of the club on them and when Brett slid it on he stood, "come dance Willy."
"No," I said, "I'm not drunk enough yet."
"Come on," Brett said as he tugged on my shoulder.
"Why?" I asked, "just go dance I'm having fun up here." Brett shot a look to where Cole was standing in front of me. I noticed that he studied him before he let go of my shoulder and left me sitting at the bar to go back to the dance floor. When I turned back around I saw that Cole was smiling at me so I looked down at the rest of my vodka swirling it gently in its glass.
"Well your friend seems like a fun guy," Cole said causing me to look up.
"He is," I said smiling.
"I get off this shift in about five minutes," Cole said, "do you want to talk after?" I didn't know how to answer him and I studied him for any hint of what he was thinking. I glanced behind me to see that everyone was still dancing and I had no ambition to join them.
"Sure," I said, "where?"
"There is a V.I.P. lounge," he said then he pointed to a dimly lit upper deck of the club. The windows were tinted and wasn't noticeable.
"Ok," I said standing, "I'll go see if everyone wants to come up and I'll meet you there."
"Oh it's twenty bucks for the drinks," Cole said putting his hand on my shoulder to stop me from walking away.
"Sorry," I said pulling my wallet out of my front pocket and paid him. He let his hand slide off my shoulder then he disappeared into a small room so I turned and walked my way through the crowd to where Kat and Carl were dancing.
"Will where have you been?" Kat asked noticing me standing there.
"The bar," I said pointing in the direction of the bar.
"The whole time?" She asked and I nodded my head.
"There's a V.I.P. lounge do you want to go rest and check it out?" I asked leaning in close to her so she could hear. Carl was behind her and they were grinding their hips while we talked. It caused me to feel uncomfortable and I stepped away from them as I waited for her answer.
"Sure," she said stepping away from Carl, "go retrieve the life of the dance floor so we can all go."
"Ok," I said as I turned to look for Brett. He was dancing in a crowd of girls and I could barely see him in the middle. I pushed myself through the girls and he stopped dancing when he noticed me.
"You finally leave your boyfriend to come see what I was doing?" He asked and I looked around to see the reactions of the girls around us.
"I was wondering if you wanted to check out the lounge with us," I said crossing my arms. I noticed that Brett was pissed about something, but I wasn't going to talk to him about it here.
"Yeah sure," he said as he turned to look at the girls still surrounding us, "sorry ladies, but I need a break." They separated leaving us as we made our way through the crowd to the lounge where Carl and Kat was waiting by the door. The bouncer that was standing there let us pass easily and we walked up the flight of stairs into the lounge. Cole was already sitting at a table and when I started walking his direction Brett put his hand on my shoulder.
"What?" I asked turning to look at him.
"Let's go over there," he said pointing to a table off to the corner of the lounge. It was the farthest table we could choose from where Cole was sitting, "the view looks better from there."
"No, I told Cole that we'd come up here with him," I said shrugging his shoulder off.
"Who is Cole?" Kat asked as she stepped up to my other side.
"His boyfriend," Brett said, "I'm going to go back down to dance."
"Damnit Brett," I said as I watched him walk back down the stairs.
"He'll be alright," Kat said as she dragged Carl past me to where Cole was sitting. I turned to look out the tinted glass walls noticing that Brett bypassed the dance floor walking to the bar where the new person was handing out drinks. This time it was a woman.
"Come on Will," Carl said and I stopped watching Brett walking over to the table.
"Hi again Cole," I said as I sat at the table.
"Hey," he said seeming relieved that I was here.
"So is Cole coming back to the Yacht with us Will?" Kat asked and I wanted to disappear as soon as she asked the question.
"What do you mean, Kat?" I asked shooting her a glare.
"Oh," she said glancing at Cole, "I mean do you plan to hang out with him later."
"I don't know," I said, "Cole and I don't know one another."
"I'm still here," Cole said offering us a small wave.
"Oh, I'm sorry," I said, "This is my sister Kathryn and her lover for the night Carl."
"William!" Kat said slapping my arm. Carl and Cole laughed as Kat stood walking over to the bar. She returned with three beers and some fruity drink for herself.
"Thanks," I said as she handed everyone a glass of beer.
"So are you two the Carlton kids?" Cole asked looking at the both of us sitting at the table.
"Yes," Kat said when I hesitated to answer him.
"So you're the ones staying on that huge ass yacht two miles off the coast," he said, "I'll be doing your parent's reception."
"Well you better be prepared for that," I said as I sat my glass of beer back on the table.
"Yeah our family can put away the booze," Kat said causing Cole to laugh again.
"Well I think I can handle them," he said then he picked up he glass taking a drink.
"Well I want to go dance again," Kat said standing up offering me a wink.
"Why are you rushing off so soon?" I asked as I stood. I didn't want to be left alone with Cole.
"We came here to dance," Kat said grabbing Carl by the hand leading him to the door. I sat back down and when they disappeared I turned to see Cole studying me.
"Do you want to go dance?" Cole asked before he took the last few drinks of his beer.
"No," I said, "I don't dance."
"I'm not much of a dancer either," he said smiling at me.
"I'm sorry, but why did you pick me to talk to?" I asked leaning forward resting my arms on the table.
"I thought you were cute and out of place," he said, "is Brett your boyfriend?"
"No," I said, "he's just my best friend and roommate."
"Oh," he said, "I don't think he wants to be just your friend."
"I'm not his type," I said as I looked down at my empty beer glass. I was starting to feel a buzz, but I wanted more.
"Larry two more beers please," Cole said waving his glass in the air. Larry grabbed the pitcher and walked around the bar to our table. He filled our glasses then returned to where he was sitting.
"So you think I'm gay?" I asked noticing that we had been talking about my relationship with Brett.
"Well yes," he said, "are you not gay?" I looked at him wondering if I should be honest. I knew that Cole was gay, but it's different telling someone I just met.
"Yes," I said then I gulped down half the glass of beer.
"But you're closeted," he said leaning forward to look at me.
"Extremely," I said as I sat my glass back down, "if you could feel my heart beating." Cole reached across the table and placed his hand on my chest.
"Damn," he said lowering his voice. He didn't let go of my chest for a little while and the longer he kept the touch the more nervous I became.
"I think I need to go," I said, "can I have your number though?"
"No, I think you already have the number you need," he said winking at me as he stood and left me sitting at the table. I was going to ask him what he meant, but when I watched him pass I saw Brett leaning against the door watching us. When we locked eyes Brett frowned and I could tell that he was drunk.
"I need money to pay the people down stairs, they're getting pretty fucked over about it," he said in a slurred voice.
"How much do you owe them?" I asked standing up pulling my wallet out. I walked over to Larry and paid him for the beers then he draped his arm around my shoulder and we slowly walked down the stairs to the bar where I paid the female bartender.
"We're gettin a hotel," he said, "goin back to the yacht in the morning."
"Who said?" I asked grabbing his hand to keep him from falling. I knew Brett would be passing out soon so a hotel was a good idea.
"Kat," he said leaning his head to rest on my shoulder, "they're waitin in the limo for us."
"Ok," I said not wanting to brave the cameras, but it was the only exit we could use. We walked around the dance floor close to the wall of the club to keep from walking through the now mostly drunk dancers on the floor. Cole was the closest thing I had to a relationship after coming out to Brett. I turned to look back at the bar to see him watching us. He was wearing his street clothes and now a baseball cap. He was watching us leave and when he noticed me looking at him he waved.
When we stepped out Carl was waiting to help me carry Brett to the limo. There weren't too many photographers still there, but I noticed our picture being taken a few times before we could get inside the limo.
"This was fun," Kat said, as the door of the limo shut with all of us safely inside.
"Yeah," Carl said, "the club was hot."
"I had a good time," Brett said as he leaned his head back and closed his eyes. It was a short drive to the hotel and when the limo stopped we all stepped out. It was late and Brett had almost passed out on the way over so Kat got our rooms and Carl helped me get Brett up to the room I'd be sharing with him.
"Thanks Carl," I said as I unlocked the door to our room, "I can take him from here."
"You sure?" He asked draping Brett completely on me.
"Yeah," I said, "good night."
"Night," he said as I stepped through the door letting it close behind me.
"We home?" Brett asked as I sat us both down on the bed.
"Yes," I said as he leaned back with his legs hanging off the edge of the bed so I stood and bent down untying his shoes taking them both off and placing them aside. I removed his socks and stood unbuttoning his jeans. "Lift your ass."
"Okay," he said lazily lifting his ass just long enough for me to pull his pants off him. I folded his jeans and placed them on the table by the window of our single bed room. Then I walked back over to him and I lifted him off the bed so that I could remove his shirt. Then with him resting his head on my shoulder I pulled down the covers. I covered him up then walked over and turned out the lights. I undressed myself leaving my clothes in a pile on the floor as I slid into the bed beside him feeling confused by all the thoughts in my head until the drinks of the night soothed me enough to sleep.
Good for them escaping the yacht for a fun night out

Ideabook | Tips on Decorating the Bath Vanity..
When it comes to interior decorating, the bathroom is space that is often neglected. While it is an area that one does not spend majority of their time in, it is a space of privacy away from the bustle of daily activities. Get tips on how to dress up this private sanctuary.
There are several ways of decorating the bath vanity area, one is to take cue from the overall decor. Choose pieces that are signature to the particular concept. In the instance of a shabby chic bathroom, a pot of flowers and candlesticks would be fitting to the space.
When you have too much toiletries, consider placing them into a tray. This will not only organise your daily essentials but store them in an aesthetically pleasing manner. This effect will work especially well if with a pot-pourri or small vase of flowers.
For bathroom vanities with a lack of surface, consider fixing up a shelf for all your trinkets. It is also advisable to keep the décor to the minimal in case of clutter. Figurines or simple vases can be placed in symmetry for an added class.
When unsure of what décor style to go for, consider choosing a colour theme. Select colours that are present in your bathroom for a smooth transition between décor and concept. When going for a colour theme, keep the décor to a minimal as it has the potential to look overdone.
Eclectic style bathrooms have a tendency to look overly decorated. It is crucial that the décor is kept simple. When choosing a décor, opt for one that complements the overall decor. Flowers are often the most popular choice.

If you're injured in a car accident or have lost someone you love in a crash, one of the questions important to ask is whether the negligent driver was acting in the course and scope of their employment. This matters because if they were furthering the interests of their employer at the time of the crash, the employer could be held vicariously liable.
Vicarious liability of employees is allowed thanks to the doctrine of respondeat superior, which is Latin for, "let the master answer." Vicarious liability does not require a showing that the company necessarily did anything wrong. Rather, one must show the employee – acting on behalf of the employer – was negligent. We see this a lot in trucking accident cases or bus accident cases, but it can also be applied with many other types of workers as well. In our increasingly mobile workforce, it's not uncommon for employees to be on the move regularly throughout the course of their work day, or to be running errands for their employer outside of normal business hours.
In cases of professional drivers, vicarious liability may be easy to establish because it's the employee's job to drive. If they were on-the-clock, it's pretty easily settled. However, there are some nuances to this. Some of the same legal doctrines that apply in workers' compensation cases can come into play in these cases too.
For instance, the "coming-and-going rule" so often cited in workers' compensation cases holds that one is generally not acting in the course and scope of employment while commuting to and from work.
This very issue was raised recently in the California Court of Appeal, First Appellate District, Division Four. According to court records, the primary question is whether defendant company's employee, who was involved in an early morning fatal crash, was acting in the course and scope of employment at the time.
The crash in question occurred in December 2012, when the employee's vehicle struck another. The passenger in that other vehicle died as a result of the crash, which occurred around 3:30 a.m. The employee owned the vehicle he was driving. The responding officer interviewed defendant driver first on scene and three more times over the course of the next several days. In the first interview, he told the officer he was driving to his office on his night off to collect resumes for an upcoming interview. While it might sound odd that someone would do such a thing in the middle of the night, this worker routinely worked the graveyard shift.
Estate of decedent sued both the driver and his employer for wrongful death, alleging vicarious liability of the employer.
A friend of defendant driver's told investigators that around midnight, several hours before the crash, defendant driver told him he was going to the office to do something important for work.
During deposition, defendant driver gave several reasons for the trip, once saying he needed to get some old resumes he'd left in his mailbox, along with some personal belongings on the way to visit his grandmother. He also said he needed to pick up the resume of his unemployed friend. Defendant employer, however, insisted he was not on the clock. The company moved for summary judgment as a matter of law. Trial court ruled in favor of plaintiff, and the employer appealed. The appellate court reversed, finding the coming-and-going rule precluded the firm's liability in this case.
While the scope of employment is broadly interpreted both there in California and in Florida, the primary question is whether an employee was directly or indirectly serving his employer. In this case, the court determined, the worker was not serving his employer's interests, and thus the company could not be vicariously liable.

As part of its interest in working towards changing the higher education sector in India, the Centre for the Study of Culture and Society (CSCS), established in 1998, set up a Higher Education Cell in 2007 in collaboration with the Sir Ratan Tata Trust. The ground for this had been prepared when CSCS faculty members Tejaswini Niranjana and Mrinalini Sebastian had researched the history and present situation of Indian higher education to write up a Strategy Paper for the Trust.
The Paper listed the possible directions in which independent funding could help address the different kinds of crises in the sector – to do with inflexible institutional structures, outdated and non-relevant curricula, poorly trained teachers, and lack of new resources for students.

Last June, I had the pleasure of attending the soft opening for White and Church. I found the menu on NY Magazine's webpage and hoped that I'd get a chance to sample a few items. Unfortunately, the star of that evening was the 60 option cocktail menu. Nevertheless I was in love with the space. The dramatically high ceilings, the well lit bar area that was thankfully not backed by a mirror and the two elevated semi private alcoves. I vowed to come back and try the food. Another opportunity arrived a few weeks ago when I received an invitation to the fall grand opening. At that event, White and Church had introduced its projector.
Italian films with subtitles were projected on one of the walls. It was something like an art installation. That night, I fell in love with the Fried Polenta. A few days later I returned for a press dinner and for the first time, I saw White and Church as it should be. A glorious modern space that was elegant and classic yet had a comfortable "I could eat here everyday" feel. I was extremely excited when I saw the tasting menu. We started with a Tomato and Bread soup.
The chef Matteo Boglione sent this dish out to "open our stomachs" for the meal to come. The aroma of fresh basil instantly drew me in. The soup was perfect. If I've learned anything from eating at Italian restaurants, it's the importance of the tomato. The tomato was definitely the star in this dish and it shined brightly. The next item on the tasting menu was Stuffed Green Olives.
A fried green olive stuffed with pork, veal and pistachio mortadella. Since I don't eat any of the proteins in that particular dish, Matteo was kind enough to provide me with a Farro Salad.
Yum-my! A plate of farro, baby artichokes, pecorino cheese and tomato confit…all for me! If you've been reading my blog you know I'm not a salad eater. This salad was a big shocker because I actually thought it was delicious! Next up was my absolute favorite dish the Pecorino Cheese Crème Brulee.
This dish was amazing. It was extremely sweet yet filling. I am definitely adding pecorino to my list of cheeses! We received a welcome addition to our menu in the form of my love, the Fried Polenta.
I was also pleased with the Artichoke Croquettes.
They were chillingly good. No, seriously, I got goosebumps! The saffron sauce, burrata cheese and black truffle shavings melded well together. The truffle scent was predominant but not overpowering. The Farfalle Pasta was another venture into heaven.
Of course the pasta was al dente. The tomatoes, arugula and pesto were well blended yet distinct and the pecorino cheese left me with a "holy cow!" feeling. By the time the Burrata Cheese Ravioli arrived, I thought I was no longer interested in eating.
But it smelled so good; I almost ate it without photographing it first! I definitely wanted another bite of this one and stared at my empty plate for quite some time. Luckily the Tuna Steak arrived shortly after.
It was served with eggplant cream, fried artichokes, caramelized black olives and basil oil. I was so full at that point but still managed to eat every bite of this dish. Thankfully that was the end of our entrées. The deep fried rice ball was extremely sweet.
Definitely not something I would order, but I can see why others would want it. I mean who turns down sugar? The chocolate cake was far more interesting to me!
Creamy deliciousness. I could have eaten the whole thing by myself.
White and Church is really a fantastic restaurant. It has blossomed in the last 3 months and I really hope it continues to grow. A lot of the focus is on the astounding cocktail list. That's all good and well, but a restaurant is about food! I hope White and Church doesn't suffer the fate of its predecessor. Matteo is a talented chef. The menu has a lot of variety and something to please everyone. His price point is also currently extremely low. Right now he is practically giving the food away! I'm looking forward to returning soon to eat larger portions and sample a few of the items that weren't on our menu.


Looking for some opinions. Here is the current scenario. I am running version 8.2 and I have two databases. One for Kentico and One for Images only. It contains only 1 table. The images table holds both a thumbnail and the image in a varbinary(Max) field for each. I get the DocumentID, CreatedBy, Author and DocumentName through the API when the image is uploaded by an end user through a custom web part which is a custom .ascx control. I also use the Kentico API to size the images and get settings from Kentico settings. To view the images I use a custom web part that displays them in gallery format.
I currently have 600,000 images. Some Pages(Documents) have no images some have 100's of images. All the images are typically uploaded by the members of the site. Performance is good and there are no issues.
The problem or concern, is that anytime the custom upload form or custom display webpart (grid list) needs to change then I have to open the code to do it. It would be so much easier using transformations and alternative forms, etc. etc.
I have thought about using attachments and I also have thought about creating a custom page type (Document Type) and allowing users to upload their images. Obviously if I integrate it, then the restful and API is available which is a big plus, otherwise I need to custom code each.
Looking for thoughts and opinions on the matter.
You can if you edit the resource value to show it in development mode and update the class then clear your cache, you should be able to add it within the UI. Its a bit more work but it makes sure it's done right vs. manually.
This will get you the "Pages" resource and then you can get to the Attachment class.
I use document attachments for something like this. You can then in your transformation to display the page/doc type info, you can use the attachments viewer and get all the attachments for that page/document. You could also use related docs and categories to set taxonomy related items. It does work pretty slick and seems like that's what you're ultimately doing with the other single table. Not only do you get the RESTful and API usage, you also get searching abilities too.
I was thinking along the same lines. Related Docs, Categories, Search and Taxonomy are huge pluses. When we started developing the site the image store was already available, now I feel it is time to integrate it.
How would you go about allowing users to just upload images as attachments ? They do not have access to back end. Right now I have a custom web part that I would have to modify to use the attachments API. Unless there is a simpler way, I really couldn't build one out of the stock web parts.
Also if I wanted to capture UserID of uploaded user, should I just mod the Attachment table ?
Regarding the uploading of attachments, I'd guess you could get some ideas from the /CMSModules/Content/Controls/Attachments files. They should have something you can at least clone and modify to your liking to be used externally.
Regarding the UserID on the Attachments, I'd go through the UI and add the field but yes, I'd guess that would probably be the best place for it.


I was so excited to help welcome little Colette into the world with custom newborn and family photography. We kept the session super simple and sweet and were able to get lots of different poses in just a couple hours. We started the photo session with a circle of flowers around her. When it's too cold to go outside for photos, I love to bring nature into my warm studio. The circle of flowers is always my favorite. Colette slept so well through all the different poses and colors. We kept it super natural and simple with soft pinks, grays and whites. I always end my newborn sessions with family photos. I like to think about how valuable these images will be thirty years from now when Colette is all grown up. How fun it will be for her to look back at her beautiful mom and dad and see how much love they had for her from the very beginning. This family is from California, so showcasing their daughter's birth place of Colorado was important to them. We lucked out and got a beautiful snowstorm a couple days after the newborn session for a mini family session. Outside in softly falling snow, we took some family photos with the mountains in the background. We wrapped baby girl in a pretty red wrap. The pop of red looks so pretty with the winter background. I am already looking forward to Colette's three month photo session where she's coming back to be photographed in my spring green garden!

Nanoscale materials are driving the discovery of physical and chemical phenomena, and providing the basis for cutting-edge technologies that range from low-cost solar cells to targeted gene therapies. At the heart of these advances are controlled chemical synthesis and the development of structure-property relationships. Therefore, for every different nanoparticle synthesized there is the opportunity to uncover new scientific insights and technological capabilities. The next evolution of nanoparticle synthesis will establish rational methods for accessing these materials with an emphasis on controlling surface chemistry and element composition with atomic precision.
The Millstone group works to develop new tools and new insights for nanoparticle synthesis, that allow us to realize this structural control from the bottom-up, ultimately producing nanostructures that incorporate optical, electronic, mechanical, and self-assembly demands into a single nanoparticle architecture. This work is designed to provide not only significant insight into nanoscale reactions and particle properties, but also generate highly tailored material platforms that, together, will allow us to accelerate the translation of nanoparticles into society-shaping technologies.

Which Airlines Have Been Hit By Bankruptcy Since COVID Began?
byLinnea Ahlgren
It has now been nearly three months since the outbreak of the novel coronavirus brought global commercial aviation to a screeching halt. For some airlines, already struggling financially before the travel restrictions, the COVID-19 crisis has proven a monumental final straw.
Some airlines will remain on the ground post-COVID. Others will emerge, having undergone substantial restructuring. Photo: Getty Images
Who would have thought that such a minuscule organism could bring such a large industry to its knees? The unprecedented circumstances have sent faltering airlines to desperately seek investors and state-guaranteed bailout loans to survive.
They have negotiated with manufacturers to defer aircraft deliveries and payments, as well as with unions on protective equipment and job cuts. For some, even drastic cost-saving measures have proven to be not enough.
LATAM is the largest carrier so far to file for bankruptcy protection. Photo: Getty Images
LATAM largest so far
Just yesterday, May 26th, South American giant LATAM became the last in a line of carriers, the largest so far, to file for emergency reorganization and bankruptcy protection under US Chapter 11.
LATAM, which was not in bad shape financially before the crisis, said it would continue to fly as conditions allow throughout the process. But what other airlines have fallen victim to the greatest challenge in the history of commercial aviation?
Air Italy was one of the earliest victims of the crisis. Photo: Getty Images
Air Italy, the country's second-largest airline, was one of the crisis's earliest victims. Investors decided to place the struggling carrier into liquidation on February 11th, just shortly after the first coronavirus cases were confirmed in Italy. Although, it would seem its fate is yet to be sealed as it recently filed for US flight permission.
British regional airline Flybe entered into administration on March 5th. The already struggling airline failed after attempts at securing a £100 million ($123 million) rescue loan from the UK government fell through.
Another regional airline to cease all operations as it applied for reorganization with the bankruptcy court was Swedish carrier BRA (Braathens Regional Airlines). The company states on its website that it plans to resume activities sometime after summer.
Turkish AtlasGlobal, formerly known as Atlasjet, quit all operations shortly after filing for bankruptcy on February 13th.
Air Mauritius, the flag carrier of the East African island nation, entered voluntary administration on April 22nd. Its board said that travel restrictions related to coronavirus made it impossible for the airline to fulfill its financial obligations.

Trans States Airlines, which flew under the United Express brand, was the first US carrier to succumb to the crisis as it suspended operations on April 1st. However, it had already planned to shut down by the end of the year and consolidate with fellow United Airlines affiliate ExpressJet.
Florida-based charter airline Miami Air International filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on March 24th. The airline, operating charter flights for a diverse group of clients such as cruise operators, sports teams, and the US military, did keep flying until May 8th.
Carrier Compass Airlines, flying as American Eagle and Delta Connection, failed to find a new partnership in the light of the crisis and ceased operations on April 5th.
RavnAir, the largest regional Alaskan carrier, also filed for bankruptcy on April 5th. However, the airline stated on May 20th that it had conditional approval to seek funding from the CARES act while it looks for buyers, so its grounding might not yet be final.
Colombian Avianca has also filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Photo: Getty Images
Other than LATAM, Colombia-based Avianca filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 on May 10th after failing to meet a bond-payment deadline. It also failed to win the sympathies of the Colombian government, despite several requests for assistance.
Ecuador's flag carrier TAME entered into a liquidation process on May 21st, as the government decided to shut down the state-owned airline.
Thai Airways will undergo restructuring. Photo: Getty Images
Thailand's national airline, Thai Airways, will also be reorganized under the auspices of the country's bankruptcy court after the government approved a restructuring plan on May 19th. The airline will continue with "business as usual," such as it is, during the process.
Virgin Australia, the country's second-largest carrier, entered voluntary administration on April 21st. It has had plenty of potential suitors, but the four short-listed candidates have very different opinions on how they would like the airline to emerge on the other side.

Q: Oracle string literal too long - extraction of data within a string Using Oracle 11g, I have the following LDAP string which is only a subset of what I am trying to demonstrate here.
Basically I have a very long string that is causing me 'string literal too long' issues and basically within this string, I want to be able to either strip out the bits I don't want or even better, strip out the only bits that I need.
This is only a short version of the string contents/length:

Member of = CN=aTIGERAdmin-Admin, CN=D0902498, CN=ea90045052, CN=aTIGERCall-Admin, CN=DAaTIGERCall-Admin, CN=DAaTIGERCall-Admin, CN=DAaTIGERCall-Admin, CN=DAaTIGERCall-Admin, CN=DAaTIGERCall-Admin, CN=DAaTIGERCall-Admin, CN=DAaTIGERCall-Admin, CN=DAaTIGERCall-Admin, CN=DAaTIGERCall-Admin, CN=aTIGERAdmin-Admin, CN=ea90045052, CN=DAaTIGERCall-Admin, CN=DAaTIGERCall-Admin, CN=DAaTIGERCall-Admin, CN=DAaTIGERCall-Admin, CN=DAaTIGERCall-Admin, CN=DAaTIGERCall-Admin, CN=DAaTIGERCall-Admin, CN=DAaTIGERCall-Admin, CN=aTIGERCall-Admin, CN=aTIGERAdmin-Admin, CN=D0902498, CN=ea90045052, CN=aTIGERCall-Admin, CN=DAaTIGERCall-Admin, CN=DAaTIGERCall-Admin, CN=DAaTIGERCall-Admin, CN=DAaTIGERCall-Admin, CN=DAaTIGERCall-Admin, CN=DAaTIGERCall-Admin, CN=DAaTIGERCall-Admin, CN=DAaTIGERCall-Admin, CN=DAaTIGERCall-Admin, CN=aTIGERAdmin-Admin, CN=ea90045052, CN=DAaTIGERCall-Admin, CN=DAaTIGERCall-Admin, CN=DAaTIGERCall-Admin, CN=DAaTIGERCall-Admin, CN=DAaTIGERCall-Admin, CN=DAaTIGERCall-Admin, CN=DAaTIGERCall-Admin, CN=DAaTIGERCall-Admin, CN=aTIGERCall-Admin,

Assume the above is greater than 4000 characters long.
My issue is, using Oracle SQL and PL/SQL and the above "member of" string, I need to somehow filter out only the bits that look like 'CN=aTIGER%' and completely ignore entries that look like 'CN=DAaTIGER%' which I believe, we solve my string literal issues but I am unable to filter this out first as my original string is already greater than 4000 chars long.
Using pl/sql, I am seeking an approach that will only return the entries inside "member of" that look like 'CN=aTIGER%' and completely ignore entries that look like 'CN=DAaTIGER%' at the same time, ensure that there is also a comma at the end of the result.
Do I need to assign this to a CLOB and then process the entries I need?

A: In the following code, I prepopulated a CLOB "c" with a bunch of data like your sample.  I'm not sure what you want to do with each qualifying entry; I just DBMS_OUTPUT it.
Given all that, here's a stab at it:

Policy Against Harassment and Unlawful Discrimination
Flexible Work Arrangements Policy
Effective on: November 16, 2012
Revised on: September 25, 2012; April 28, 2015; October 3, 2018; September 17, 2019
Marymount Manhattan College (the College) strives to create a workplace and an academic environment that excludes all types of harassment and discrimination. As a matter of policy, the College specifically prohibits unlawful employment discrimination and sexual harassment by officers, senior administrators, managers, supervisors, faculty, staff employees, students, advisors, vendors and contractors. In addition, and as a matter of policy, the College considers retaliatory behavior unlawful. Therefore, the College will not tolerate retaliatory acts against individuals who have complained about sexual harassment, unlawful discrimination, or against individuals who cooperate with the investigation of a complaint of sexual harassment or unlawful discrimination. Violators of this policy will be subject to disciplinary action that may include termination of employment, expulsion, and/or termination of an existing contractual relationship with the College.
For the College's complete policy prohibiting sexual misconduct, including sexual harassment, sexual assault, stalking, and relationship violence, please see Marymount Manhattan College's Policy on Sexual Misconduct, Sexual Assault, Stalking, and Relationship Violence. All other forms of harassment or discrimination will be governed by the policies and procedures outlined below.
A. Unlawful Discrimination
Differential treatment based upon race, color, gender, age, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, religion, ethnic or national origin, disability, veteran status, genetic information or any other protected status that affects the terms or conditions of employment or education constitute unlawful discrimination. As a matter of policy, the College strictly prohibits, and will not tolerate, unlawful discrimination.
B. Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment is a form of discrimination, and is illegal under both Federal and New York State and local laws. The College will not tolerate sexual harassment, or any form of harassing behavior. Conduct and complaints relating to such behavior are governed by the College's Policy on Sexual Misconduct, Sexual Assault, Stalking, and Relationship Violence.
C. Retaliation
Retaliating directly or indirectly against a person who has filed, supported, or participated in an investigation of a complaint of any type of discrimination, harassment, or sexual misconduct as defined above or someone who opposes or speaks our against sexual or other forms of harassment in the workplace is prohibited. Retaliation includes but is not limited to ostracizing the person, pressuring the person to drop or not support the complaint or to provide false or misleading information, or engaging in conduct that may reasonably be perceived to affect adversely that person's educational, living, or work environment. Depending on the circumstance, retaliation may be unlawful, whether or not the complaint is ultimately found to have merit. Any act of retaliation will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action, such as but not limited to reprimand, change in work assignment, loss of privileges, mandatory training or suspension and/or immediate termination of employment.
D. Bystander
Bystanders can help create a harassment free workplace. Bystanders can confront the harasser; can help victims by recording audio/video on a phone, taking photos, or writing a note/ email describing what happened; can check with the victim after the situation has passed; and can interrupt the behavior in a way that stops the harassment.
II. Applicable Laws
A. Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination that violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Title VII is a federal law that prohibits discrimination in employment on the basis of sex, race, color, national origin, and religion, and it applies to employers with 15 or more employees.
B. Sex discrimination is unlawful pursuant to the New York Human Rights Law § 296.1. Every employee in the State of New York is entitled to a working environment free from sexual harassment.
C. The New York City Human Rights Law protect all individuals against discrimination based on gender, which includes sexual harassment in the workplace.
III. Conduct Which May Constitute Unlawful Discrimination or Harassment
Discrimination is differential treatment based upon race, color, gender, age, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, religion, ethnic or national origin, disability, veteran status, genetic information or any other protected status that affects the terms or conditions of employment or education constitute unlawful discrimination. As a matter of policy, the College strictly prohibits, and will not tolerate, unlawful discrimination.
Harassment is verbal or physical conduct that degrades or shows hostility or aversion towards an individual because of his or her race, color, gender, age, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, religion, ethnic or national origin, disability, veteran status, genetic information or any other protected status. For example, ethnic harassment includes harassment based on immutable characteristics associated with race (e.g., skin color or accent). Religious harassment may include demands to alter or renounce a religious belief in exchange for job benefits. As a matter of policy, the College prohibits behavior which:
Has the purpose or effect of creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment;
Has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work performance; or
Otherwise unfairly and adversely affects an individual's employment opportunities.
Legally actionable harassment based upon race, color, gender, age, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, religion, ethnic or national origin, disability, veteran status, genetic information or any other protected status is often difficult to define. As a matter of policy, however, the College will not tolerate the following behavior, regardless of whether such behavior rises to the level of legally actionable harassment:
Decisions about a person's employment, compensation or education that are based upon race, color, gender, age, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, religion, ethnic or national origin, disability, veteran status, or any other protected status;
Verbal abuse, offensive innuendo or derogatory words, concerning a person's race, color, gender, age, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, religion, ethnic or national origin, disability, veteran status, or any other protected status;
Any open display of objects or pictures designed to create a hostile working/learning environment based on a person's race, color, gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, religion, ethnic or national origin, disability, veteran status, or any other protected status;
Jokes, pranks, or other forms of humor that are demeaning or hostile with regard to race, color, gender, age, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, religion, ethnic or national origin, disability, veteran status, or any other protected status.
IV. Duty to Report
Every employee, faculty member, administrator and student of the College is personally responsible for ensuring that his or her conduct does not harass or unlawfully discriminate against anyone in the workplace or educational setting. Similarly, every employee, faculty member, administrator and student is responsible for cooperating in any investigation of alleged harassment or unlawful discrimination if requested to do so by the College officials or legal authorities authorized to conduct such investigation. Any person who observes an incident that may constitute harassment or unlawful discrimination or who otherwise becomes aware of such an incident should immediately notify one of the authorized investigators listed in Section IX of this document. Sexual harassment subjects Marymount Manhattan College to liability.
V. Educational Setting
Within the College's educational setting, there is latitude for a faculty member to exercise professional judgment in determining the appropriate content and presentation of academic material. Academic curriculum and pedagogical goals that serve legitimate and reasonable educational purposes do not, in and of themselves, constitute harassment or other unlawful discrimination. Faculty members who participate in the educational setting have a responsibility to balance their professional academic responsibilities and professional judgment in light of the reasonable sensitivities of other participants in the same educational setting.
Nothing contained in this policy should be construed to limit the legitimate and reasonable academic responsibilities and professional judgment of the College's professional educators.
VI. Procedures for Reporting Unlawful Discrimination and Complaints of Harassment
All members of the community are encouraged to make a formal report of incidents to an authorized investigator. Any complaints received by these individuals will be considered official notice to the College. Formal reports of harassment or unlawful discrimination will be taken seriously and all reports will be investigated and resolved through administrative procedures. Formal reporting means only people who need to be notified will be informed and information will only be shared as necessary with investigators, witnesses, and the accused individual.
In the case of sexual misconduct, including complaints of sexual harassment, sexual assault, stalking, and relationship violence, please refer to the specific policies and procedures contained in the College's Policy on Sexual Misconduct, Sexual Assault, Stalking, and Relationship Violence.
Any person, who receives a complaint of any other form of harassment or discrimination from an employee or a student, or who otherwise knows or has reason to believe that an employee or a student has been subject to harassment or discrimination, must report the incident promptly to an authorized investigator. See Section IX.
Student: If a student believes that s/he has been subject to discrimination or harassment, whether by another student, co-worker, faculty member, vendor, contractor or any other person with whom s/he comes in contact with at the College, the individual should report the incident promptly to the Chief Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Officer, Rebecca Mattis-Pinard, at 212-517-0563 or rpinard@mmm.edu or by completing the following form.
Employee: If an employee believes that s/he has been subject to discrimination or harassment, whether by another employee, vendor, contractor or any other person with whom s/he comes in contact with at the College, the individual should report the incident promptly to the Assistant Vice President for Human Resources, Bree Bullingham at 212.517.0532 or by completing the following form.
VII. Procedures for Addressing Complaints of Harassment or Unlawful Discrimination
When the College receives a complaint alleging discrimination or harassment, it will promptly investigate the allegations in a fair and expeditious manner while providing due process for all parties involved. The College will make every effort to conduct its investigation in a manner that maintains privacy to the extent practicable under the circumstances. If the College determines inappropriate conduct has in fact occurred, it will act promptly to eliminate the offending conduct, and where appropriate will also impose disciplinary action. Following the completion of an appropriate review of the complaint, the complainant and/or the accused may appeal the disposition of the complaint in accordance with College grievance procedures.
For specific policies and procedures for addressing complaints of sexual misconduct, including complaints of sexual harassment, sexual assault, stalking, and relationship violence, please see Marymount Manhattan College's Policy on Sexual Misconduct, Sexual Assault, Stalking, and Relationship Violence.
VIII. Disciplinary Action
In the event that the investigation reveals that discrimination, harassment, or other inappropriate or unprofessional conduct (even if not unlawful) has occurred, further action will be taken, including disciplinary action, such as but not limited to reprimand, change in work assignment, loss of privileges, mandatory training or suspension, and/or immediate termination of employment. Sexual harassment is a form of employee misconduct and sanctions will be enforced against individuals engaging in sexual harassment and against supervisory management who knowingly allow such behavior to continue.
All actions taken to investigate and resolve complaints through this procedure will be conducted with as much privacy and discretion as possible without compromising the thoroughness and fairness of the investigation. All persons involved in the investigation will treat the situation respectfully. In order to conduct a thorough investigation, the investigator(s) may discuss the complaint with witnesses, and those persons involved in or affected by the complaint, as well as those persons deemed necessary to assist in the investigation or to implement appropriate disciplinary action.
X. Authorized Investigators of Complaints of Harassment and Unlawful Discrimination
If you are victim of sexual harassment, there are several judicial and administrative forums for you to file a sexual harassment complaint, including the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the New York State Division of Human Rights, and the New York City Commission on Human Rights.

Knights charging into the cave – most times on horseback, but oft afoot – had become passé; a leitmotif in a bard's melodrama. Up they came, following the bone road, flying pennants and bearing shields with finely crafted sigils. Their names were a study in the old families: Corvidae, Mott, Tullard, and Skirllot.
Each came, bearing forth sword or axe or hammer, calling for death even as youth burned his breast.
Stynaserian, queen of the mount called Bryson's Peak, red dragon without equal in size and strength, dispatched the knights the way a man might dispatch a steer; careful not to damage the sweet flesh contained within the steel shell. Sometimes she roasted them inside their armor, and sometimes she liked her meat rare. But never did Styn refuse a meal that walked into her cave.
When the young man, wearing no armor and bearing no weapons, strode unerringly into her midst, the great dragon was taken aback.
"Who are you?" she asked, for curiosity at this human's audacity got the better of her insatiable hunger.
"I am no one of import," said the boy.
"What name do you bear?" asked the dragon.
"Is that a noble name?"
"No. I am a smith by trade, as my father was before me. Our name is no more noble than the metals we work." The boy began to shiver, and a fresh glean of sweat broke out on his face. That was to be expected, he was, after all, in the presence of a red dragon.
"And why do you walk boldly into my lair without shield or sword or armor?"
"I am come to ask you to leave our lands and never return."
The dragon laughed, a mighty sound that shook the mountain peaks. Surely this boy was the village fool. Stynaserian snapped her head forward and gobbled up the young man in two large bites and one swallow.
Little did the queen know that the young Smith had, just before entering the cave, swallowed enough arsenic to kill several large horses. And, while Styn possessed more weight and girth even than several large horses, she was quite ill and unable to defend herself when, three hours later, eight knights arrived at her cave and slew her where she lay in her own bile.


Which OTC Meds Treat Heartburn?
So Which Works Best for Heartburn?
There are a variety of heartburn medicines available over the counter to ease symptoms. If these don't help enough, talk to your doctor about what else might help -- in addition to lifestyle changes. Your doctor may want to see if gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD, is the cause of your symptoms.
You should take antacids exactly as directed by your doctor or according to the package label. If you use the tablets, chew them well before swallowing for faster relief.
Be sure to follow the directions on the label so you don't overdose or overuse antacids. Side effects include constipation, diarrhea, changes in the color of bowel movements, and stomach cramps.
There are two types of drugs that cut down on the production of acid in the stomach: histamine antagonists (H2 antagonists or H2 blockers) and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs).
The proton-pump inhibitors esomeprazole (Nexium 24HR), lansoprazole (Prevacid 24HR), and omeprazole (Prilosec OTC) are sold over-the-counter to treat frequent heartburn (two or more times per week) for 14 days. These types of medicines are also available as higher-strength prescriptions. Take them according to the directions on the package or as advised by your doctor.
If these medications don't relieve your symptoms, or if your heartburn symptoms get worse or last for longer than 2 weeks, you should see your doctor.
Pepcid Complete combines the acid-neutralizing capability of an antacid and the acid-reducing actions of an H2 blocker. Zegerid OTC combines a proton-pump inhibitor with sodium bicarbonate.
All of these over-the-counter medicines, to a varying degree, can relieve the symptoms of heartburn. If you have more severe heartburn symptoms that these medications don't relieve, or if you've been using these medicines for more than 2 weeks, call your doctor. You may need a stronger prescription medicine and tests to see what's causing your symptoms.

Nothing Common In This Quarter
Photo Credit: Marnie Williams from Grapes and Hops Atlanta
What is it that you always say to yourself after taking a less than relaxing vacation? "I'm going to need a vacation from my vacation!?"
Now you can take a trip to the southern coast every day, and never leave the heart of East Cobb. From the innovators at Local Three, Muss and Turner's, and Eleanor's ~ diners can now rest and relax in the casual atmosphere of their new restaurant, "Common Quarter."
"I grew up around St. Simons on the Coast of Georgia, so I wanted to share a little piece of my history with the community," says Chris Tally, one of the partners at Common Quarter.
Tally tells us the concept behind CQ is a Southern Coast & Farm to Table approach that will honor locally and regionally sourced seasonal products. "From the Mid-Atlantic coast of Virginia down around to the gulf coast of Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas and then on in to all those farms... southern food is just the best... and we want to pull inspiration from all of it!"
Our experience walking through the doors of "Common Quarter" was a mix of sleek modern elegance, coastal culture, and down home comfort. For both of us it's always more than just the food and beverages being served, it's the overall experience.
Lamon Luther original "harmonica" community table
The difference with "Common Quarter" and other fine dining spots in the area is the feeling of family and history that this new spot has already cultivated. There is a sense of place here and every element of design at CQ seemingly has a sentimental story behind it. From the beautiful Italian marble of the bar, the map of coastal Georgia on the wall, to the gorgeous hand made "harmonica" family-style dining table... every single element serves a purpose. Ask Tally yourself and he will be happy to grab a seat, share a drink, and tell you all about it!
Some of the details may only ever be discovered by those patrons who become CQ's regulars ~ but if you happen to find "Greg" ~ please let us know! Also, be on the lookout for the Guns and Roses, the rocking chairs, and our favorite "Ocean Waves."
"Roses"
For all you East Cobbers needing a wine fix, CQ will have 15 reds and 15 whites available by the glass, along with a small selection cocktails with a "southern spin". Hops happily gives two-thumbs up on the craft beer selection.
Plans for the future include live music on the patio, low-country boils served at the community table, and much more... all of it geared toward adding to CQ's mission of creating a casual place to relax and wash away the work week.
We have a feeling that "Common" will give "Seed Kitchen and Bar" a run for it's money in the expanding East Cobb dining scene. How much are we willing to bet on that? How about a Quarter!
Common Quarter: located at 1205 Johnson Ferry Road in East Cobb, in the Fresh Market Shopping Plaza.
