A revised plan for Marrickville
We've developed a plan for Marrickville that retains areas valued by the community and transforms Carrington and Illawarra Roads. Have your say.
The Sydenham to Bankstown Urban Renewal Corridor Strategy provides a planned approach to growth, with infrastructure delivery and development co-ordinated along the corridor.
The Strategy plans for new homes and jobs over the next 20 years and builds on the Sydney Metro City and Southwest project.
There are 11 station precincts within the corridor. They are already great places to live, and each has its own unique qualities. This Strategy will enhance the precincts by: valuing neighbourhood character, renewing town centres, providing improved open spaces and community services and facilities.
A community information session was held at Marrickville on 19/08/2017. A description of this event can be viewed at the link below:
Exhibition on the revised draft Strategy closed on 3 September. We are now considering the community submissions and working on the Final Strategy. Thank you to everyone who provided feedback.
Our vision for Marrickville is:
A diverse and vibrant community focussed around a reinvigorated Illawarra Road.
A new station forecourt plaza that will be a central meeting point of the Marrickville Station Precinct with a range of active uses.
Future development along Carrington Road will deliver improved connections and new open space to support residents of the Marrickville Station Precinct.
Valued neighbourhood areas are retained.
Improve the quality of the public areas with new footpaths, street trees and street lighting to create a great place to live and work.
A potential new park along the rail line could provide a new and interesting place for leisure and recreation.
What's changed
This map shows the key changes that have been made to the Marrickville Station Precinct Plan as a result of your feedback.
The following key actions will be delivered in the next 12 months:
Action Description
Design of GreenWay South West The Department of Planning and Environment (DP&E) is preparing a concept landscape master plan for a shared pedestrian and cycle link and linear park should surplus rail land become available.
Public Domain and Station Access Plan
Sydney Metro will prepare a Public Domain and Station Access Plan for improved station design, accessibility and interchange with other modes of transport. The new metro station at Marrickville will provide improved pedestrian and bicycle access.
Finalisation of the Strategy and Local Planning Direction
DP&E will finalise the Strategy including a local planning direction (a Section 9.1 Direction) to guide future development.
Special Infrastructure Contribution
DP&E is preparing a draft Special Infrastructure Contribution plan (SIC) to identify the regional infrastructure improvements required to support growth in the Corridor. The SIC levy will fund a range of community, transport and open space infrastructure.
Planning for Schools
The Department of Education will identify locations for new or expanded schools within the corridor based on the growth proposed in the Strategy.
Precinct Support Scheme Funding
DP&E will provide funding to Councils through the Precinct Support Scheme to improve amenity and infrastructure within the Corridor.
Inner West Council will prepare a planning proposal to protect newly identified heritage conservation areas along Silver Lane and Gladstone Street within the Marrickville Precinct.
Plans for improved connections to existing open space will be included in proposals to rezone existing industrial land along Carrington Road and Myrtle Street. Large sites subject of planning proposals will also be required to deliver new public open space within their sites.
Have your say now
We will use community feedback to produce the final Strategy. Once finalised, we will continue to work with stakeholders to deliver the Strategy and plans over the coming years.
Click here to see the timeline on the summary page.
Previous feedback
We released the initial draft Strategy and precinct plans in October 2015. Over the past 18 months we've also been talking and listening to community feedback to develop the revised draft strategy. You told us that:
Heritage and Federation streetscapes need to be preserved and more streets retained for low density housing.
Growth on industrial and under-utilised land is generally supported such as Myrtle Street and Carrington Road.
A pedestrian and cycle corridor along the railway line with connections to the station, Cooks River, open space areas, Sydenham and Tempe is supported.
Environmental issues need to be considered including addressing local drainage, stormwater and flooding impacts.
Good design of new apartment development is important.
More detailed information on your feedback can be found in the Marrickville Station Precinct Plan.

Content Inspiration and Ideas - Online Gallery
Head of Research and Insights
The latest Miles Webinar includes a close look at content - its impact and influence on travel and in particular the decision on where to go.
The January 2014 State of the American Traveler included a specific look at how travelers perceive content created and/or delivered by Destination Marketing Organisations. Only 40% of survey respondents rated DMO content as "usually" or "always" innovative, leading or "cutting edge." The survey also identified the content most likely to influence a decision to visit a destination: things to do, followed by hotel and airline costs, led the information sought by visitors still deciding on where to go. However, more than a dozen other content topics or interest areas were sought by around 10% of travelers or more.
The takeaway from the research was clear: Destinations need to invest in deep, rich content that covers a wide range of topics and DMOs need to work harder to create content that is developed, facilitated and delivered or that leverages technology in new, interesting and innovative ways.
For inspiration and ideas, Miles has compiled an online gallery of content examples of Destination Marketing Organizations across the US and around the world. View the Content Inspiration & Ideas Online Gallery here.
Consisting of both Miles clients and non-clients, this gallery of content examples illustrates 10 critical reminders for your content strategy and takes us from Christchurch, New Zealand, to Manchester, England, with stops in Santa Cruz, California, Portland, Oregon, Washington, DC, St. Pete/Clearwater, Florida, and more in between.
Of course, great content is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration. A content strategy and plan needs to be carefully researched, planned, resourced and executed. Great content is a job for Destination Marketing Organizations that is never done. Chat with us about your content plans, the needs of your visitor markets and how we can help.

I've been getting a lot of requests for Indian recipes so I thought I would give it a go with my version of a very traditional Indian dish, baingan bartha. Baingan bharta is an eggplant dish that's a staple on most Indian restaurant menus. I love eggplant but I find that many eggplant recipes call for deep-frying and it tends to soak up a lot of oil when it cooks. I really like this recipe because it involves roasting the eggplant at a high temperature in the oven instead of frying it. The roasting process eliminates a lot of oil which makes it much healthier and it also imparts the eggplant with a delicious smoky flavor.
If you've ever been intimidated by Indian recipes or have yet to try one, you may want to start with this dish as it is a relatively simple Indian dish. Simply pop the eggplant in the oven and while it's roasting, you can prep and chop your other vegetables and spices to save time. Many traditional recipes call for grilling the eggplant over a direct flame but that involves constantly turning it to ensure even cooking so I prefer the oven method. There are a handful of herbs and spices in this dish including cilantro, ginger, garlic, cumin, turmeric and garam masala. Garam masala is a blend of dried spices that is commonly used in Indian cooking. There are probably as many different varieties of garam masala as there are Indian cooks but most of them contain a mixture of spices that include peppercorns, cloves, cumin, coriander, and cardamom. All of these spices can be found in specialty grocery stores and Indian markets. They are also starting to pop up more frequently in traditional grocery stores in the spice aisle.
The good news is that once you have all of these spices, you can make just about any Indian dish. Spices are a great way to add a lot of flavor to a dish without adding calories. I like to grate my ginger and garlic with a Microplane zester/grater because I don't like big chunks of those aromatics in the dish. If you don't have one, you can puree them in a mini food processor with a little water, or just chop them as finely as you can. You can also buy prepared ginger garlic paste at Indian markets.
I have to admit that I got some help from my mom with this recipe- after all, she is a terrific vegetarian cook. But to make it my own, I made two main changes from her version. First, I added tomatoes to the dish for depth of flavor- although many versions of the traditional dish use tomatoes, my mom makes hers without them. Second, I added peas for a pop of color and texture. Hopefully I made her proud!
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Prick the eggplants all over with a fork. Place them on a foil-lined baking sheet and roast in the oven until the skin is wrinkled and the flesh is soft, 40-50 minutes.
Remove the eggplant from the oven and cool. Once cool, peel off the skin and discard. Chop the eggplant flesh and set aside.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds, which will start to sputter when they hit the oil. After a few seconds, add the onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent. Add the ginger, garlic and pepper and cook another minute until fragrant. Stir in the tomatoes, turmeric, garam masala and salt and cook until tomatoes start to soften, 4-5 minutes. If the mixture gets too dry, add a tablespoon of water.
Add the chopped eggplant with any juices to the spice mixture and stir to combine well. Stir in the peas, then cover and cook another 6-7 minutes until the flavors are melded and peas are heated through. Adjust seasoning to taste. Stir in the cilantro just before serving.
Serve with Indian naan bread or basmati rice (I like brown basmati rice) and Greek yogurt. The tanginess of the yogurt nicely balances the smoky flavor of the eggplant.
* Garam masala is a blend of dried spices commonly used in Indian cooking. Most varieties contain a mixture of spices that includes peppercorns, cloves, cumin, coriander, and cardamom.
I kid you not I have a big plump eggplant staring at me, asking to be cooked. And I have no idea how to cook it (it was a gift, I have never ever bought or cooked eggplant). I am making this tonight, thank you so much for sharing!
Hi Peggy- that's quite a coincidence! Did you end up making it? If so, I would love to hear how it turned out. Thanks!
Sonali I made it this morning and it was divine! My 15 year old nephew declared it to be delicious and promptly ate 2 bowls full. Husband loved it too, really nice. Thanks again for sharing, this will become a regular dish in my house (so delicious and yet fuss free to prepare).
This sounds wonderful. Thanks for the recipe!
QQ sonali. does it matter if you sub in Asian eggplant?
Yes, definitely! I love Asian eggplants- they have a more delicate flavor and I think they would work really well in this dish. You could probably reduce the amount of time in the oven since they are usually smaller than traditional American eggplants. Let me know how it goes if you try it!
See, I love this dish when out to eat but who knew it could be deep fried? Good to know. I can't wait to give this a whirl but my garam masala is pretty old, may be time for a new batch.
Thanks Sonali for the delicious vegetarian recipe!!! I made it tonight for dinner and everyone loved it including Landon (my 2 year old son) who usually does not eat food when it is all mixed together.
This will definitely be added to the regular rotation!


Happy Fri-Yay! I'm off work today for my earned day off which worked out perfect because I have SO much to get done today. I had hoped to sleep in a little this morning since this day is going to be so hectic but alas my body is just attuned to 5 am wake up calls and today was no exception (eye roll).
My Mom normally watches my nieces after school and on school holidays and today just so happens to be a PD day, meaning no school for my nieces, so I volunteered to 'babysit' them so that she wouldn't have to since it's her birthday today (Happy Birthday Mama Bear!).
My immediate family is having birthday supper and cake tonight at my parents house to celebrate, with supper made by yours truly (and the cake too if I can find the time to fit it in - there might be a last minute trip to the grocery store for a pre-made one...). I'm also hosting a baby shower for my nephew tomorrow and still have some prep work to get done so to say that today is going to be busy would be an understatement. I don't know where I'm going to find all the time to fit everything in but when there's a will there's a way, right?!
To top it all off, I now have to make a trip to Carlyle - 35 minutes away - to pick up my vehicle at some point today. I'll be $500 poor-er when I leave Carlyle but at least I'll have a working drivers side window (I'm trying to find an upside to seeing my hard earned money fly out of my wallet that quickly...). The first thing I'm doing once I'm back in Eleanor? Heading through DQ's drive thru for a Skor Blizzard (because ice cream always helps). Oh how I've missed the convenience of drive-thru's over the last few months of my window not working - even if I rarely use them for anything other than grabbing coffee before or after work in 'the city'.
So, with all that being said, I need to get on the road to my sisters to get this crazy day started. Wish me luck! I can't wait to show y'all the little touches from the baby shower - I just loving party planning (in another life I would be an event planner). I didn't want to spend a ton of money (because budget) so Pinterest has been my best friend lately. Stay tuned for the shower recap!
Yay for a day off, even if your body made you wake up really early! Ooh I'd love to see what you came up with for the shower. I really do like party planning.


Chop the strawberries into small pieces and blitz them in a blender until smooth and liquified. Pour through a sieve, pressing with a rubber spatula to help strain. Pour into a pitchen along with the lemon juice and vodka, then stir to combine. Slowly pour in the sparkling water and serve over ice. Makes 4-6 refreshing servings.

A year after Game of Thrones viewers learned the shocking fate of fan favorite Hodor, the man who portrayed the gentle giant says he still gets choked up as he recalls the character's exit from the show.
Kristian Nairn, 41, now watches the most talked about show in the world as a spectator following his character's death.
"I am still quite emotional," he told InsideEdition.com, adding, "It is really weird not being in it anymore."
The 6-foot-11-inch actor spoke about how a failed audition actually led him to the role of a lifetime, and his life beyond the HBO hit.
The Northern Irish artist started his career as a musician, performing with bands like the Scissor Sisters and spinning records in Belfast for a number of years before turning to acting.
Nairn said he was called to audition for the cult comedy Hot Fuzz, starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, and while he didn't get the role, it led to something big.
"I was DJing the night before [in Belfast], traveled to London, did this awful audition and I didn't hear anything about Hot Fuzz," he recalled. "About four or five years later, I got a call from the casting director who said, 'There is this project, Game of Thrones, coming up. I just can't think of anyone else for the part.'"
Nairn didn't know anything about the Game of Thrones books, but auditioned for the role of Hodor, and as he puts it, "The rest is history."
But the George R. R. Martin literary series already had a big fan in Nairn's mom, who was thrilled when he got the role.
"My mother was a huge fan of the books and when I told her the news, she completely flipped," he said.
The pop culture phenomenon that is Game of Thrones remains a heavy influence on Nairn, who now hosts "Rave of Thrones" parties around the world as a DJ.
At a "Rave of Thrones" bash, clubs are decorated to look like the set of the TV show, and people come dressed in costumes that look like they were tailored in Westeros.
"It is a regular DJ set for me, I don't do anything too different," he admitted.
Nairn, who released his new single, "Bigger," is currently touring the U.S. and revelers who flood the clubs are often surprised to learn he has another craft aside from acting.
He says he still keeps in touch with the cast and crew of Game of Thrones and "we see each other regularly," adding that many come to see him perform.
And any die-hard fans who believe Nairn knows the direction of the series in the eighth and final season can save their breath — he has no idea.
"We don't get sent scripts anymore; people assume I get sent scripts," he said. "Why would I be sent scripts? I am not in it anymore. People assume I know everything right up until the end, I don't. I haven't got a clue."

Looking to make the leap: Filip Forsberg
By Joe YerdonAug 9, 2014, 3:00 PM EDT
If there's one player in the Nashville Predators organization who might benefit immediately from Peter Laviolette coaching the team, it's forward Filip Forsberg.
At 19 years old, Forsberg is heading into technically his third pro season. Two seasons ago, he played five games for the Predators after they acquired him in a trade with the Washington Capitals. Last season, he spent the bulk of his time in the AHL with the Milwaukee Admirals. There he played 47 games and had 15 goals with 34 assists.
While he played in 13 games with the Predators last season scoring one goal with five points, he averaged just over 11 minutes of ice time per game. Injuries helped slow him down a bit, but we didn't really seen what Forsberg could do while under Barry Trotz, but Laviolette could provide the change he needs.
Forsberg will have the opportunity to show what made the Caps pick him 11th overall in the 2012 Draft, but it won't be easy. Competition in Predators training camp at center should be fierce with a mix of veterans and youth.
The Preds added Olli Jokinen, Mike Ribeiro, and Derek Roy in free agency and made the middle of the ice a bit crowded in Music City. Throw in fellow Swede Calle Jarnkrok, who they acquired from the Detroit Red Wings in the David Legwand trade, and the competition just amongst the new guys will be stiff. Never mind Matt Cullen, Paul Gaustad, and eventually Mike Fisher (out 4-6 months with a torn Achilles) who are already established there.
Having more than a few centers wasn't an issue for Laviolette in Philadelphia, so it's possible Forsberg might find a way to push his way onto the big club's roster on the wing. That said, Forsberg is the youngest player out of the group. Jarnkrok is 22 while the trio of Jokinen, Ribeiro, and Roy have loads of NHL experience.
With how things are set up, it seems like Forsberg is almost destined to return to Milwaukee and continue his development there. That puts it on him to show what he can do in September and prove potential can win out over age and experience.

This CHO HCP 3rd Generation ELISA Kit uses a more broadly reactive antibody than our earlier kits and incorporates a number of other improvements for the detection of CHO HCPs. The "CHO 3G" ELISA is more sensitive than previous kits, able to detect HCPs in the range of 100 parts per billion for a variety of antibodies and other therapeutic proteins expressed in CHO. It has been extensively qualified with a large number of drug substances and in-process samples. This data indicates the kit is truly a generic method that can likely be validated as not only a process development tool, but in most cases as a lot release test, eliminating the need to develop a custom or process specific assay. The antibody has been evaluated for reactivity to individual HCPs using the conventional 2D Western Blot as well as a method we have shown to be superior to 2D WB, which we call AAE, Antibody Affinity Extraction. AAE demonstrated the antibody is reactive to more than 1000 individual HCPs from conditioned media and cell lysates in both a CHO-S strain as well as a K1 strain. These 1000+ HCPs represent more than 98% of the total mass of protein as indicated by protein detection methods orthogonal to ELISA. As such, this antibody may overcome concerns about missing any significant individual HCPs. This ELISA is also more robust than the earlier kits showing less sample matrix interference and improved dilution linearity. If you have found the F015 and CM015 kits lacking in any way meeting your HCP detection needs, or if you are considering the need for a process-specific assay, we recommend you evaluate this 3rd Generation CHO HCP ELISA kit.


After last week, we've now had two budgets in a row, and a not really in autumn statement in between, that have changed the savings landscape forever. Last year's budget was the biggie; delivering no less than an actual revolution in the pension system! and not only that, a huge shot in the arm to the Isa market. The subsequent not really in autumn statement and this year's budget have built on the core theme of encouraging savings and making them easier to access. Approaching April, the go-live for pension freedoms is almost upon us and for a few months now it has quite rightly been getting massive national coverage as the implications have filtered through to the mainstream media such as the BBC.
Now, cast your minds back to 3rd December last year when the not really in autumn statement took place. Two of the additional measures announced were the ability to pass on pension savings tax free on death, and, any ISA savings passed over on death can retain their tax free status.
In adviser platform land, providers have already been stripping out GYMBOA (Getting Your Money Back Out Again) costs from pensions, because advisers wouldn't wear them, and because it was one avenue left to compete on price when cutting core charges became unsustainable. However, some do still remain (when using equity trading instruments in particular) and watch this space for more on that at a later date.
However, with direct platforms things are a bit different and some rather hefty and more obvious GYMBOA costs are still the norm.
But it's the charges on passing on ISA savings that has sparked a heated debate at the lang cat port authority. We're a bit grumpy about it.
Mr Johnson dies with an ISA holding of £18K. Mrs Johnson also has an ISA holding of £18K. What were the odds? Regardless of that year's ISA allowance and future contributions, Mrs Johnson now has an existing tax-free holding of £36K, meaning the combined amount can benefit from tax-free growth in an ISA wrapper.
So far, so good. But!
…what we are specifically concerned about are the costs associated with moving the holdings to a different ISA, which Mrs Johnson may well want to do. The average UK ISA pot size is £16K*. For those who charge (and to be fair some don't) £25 per line of stock is a typical charge to re-register off. Plain old withdrawal or transfer tends to come in at around £25 for the whole policy.
*HM Revenue and Customs 2014 (stats from 2011/2012, the most recent available).
In the name of fairness, I've generously added 12.5% to the 2012 average pot size, to give the £18K figure. If Mr Johnson had 10 lines of stock – pretty common these days, especially with providers encouraging diversity – the overall re-registration cost is going to be a whopping £250, or in other words 1.4% of the total holding.
This is not small beer. If Mr J had held the investment for five years, paying 0.35% as a platform charge and the average value over that period was £14K, he'd have paid around £245 in platform charges. So the account closing costs in this example doubles the overall charges taken on the account. Is this right? Does it really cost the provider £250 to close the account and cede the holdings?
A further issue is that although £25 per line to re-register is standard, it's usually much less costly to sell down and transfer. This provides a cost-based dilemma to consumers because they might decide to transfer because it's so much cheaper, when staying in the market is what they'd really have preferred.
So, dear providers, here's a thought. Why not stop charging people to GYMBOA whatever the circumstance? O.K, so that is perhaps not going to happen overnight but there is an opportunity to at least remove these charges from policies that become the ownership of a deceased spouse. It is just the right thing to do but, surely, it's also fair to allow inherited holdings to be consolidated free of cost bias.


It's a challenge to style low-voltage distribution systems for sensitive arcing current detection while maintaining selective coordination. This paper provides recommendations for maximum low-voltage feeder-breaker current ratings that permit a unit-substation secondary-main circuit-breaker short-time or instantaneous trip to be sensitive enough to detect and trip on arcing currents, whereas retaining coordination with the feeder-breaker settings. The recommendations are organized according to transformer kilovolt-ampere rating. Still, mentioned are other variables, such as primary-supply impedance, instantaneous-pickup tolerance of the feeder, and extended transformer ratings.


In the first Plastics BAN List, plastic pollution along the California coast was analyzed. In the newest analysis, The Plastics BAN List 2.0, data from the entire United States is used. It's an impressive 34-page study looking at the 20 most polluting products, calling out the worst-offending brands responsible for all that litter, and offering reusable alternatives.
Once again, disposable food wrappers and containers topped the list. Wrigley's, Trident, Starburst and Snickers were the top four brands found. The recommended solution is easy and becoming more mainstream in many grocery stores: Bulk purchasing with reusable containers.
Thankfully, bringing a reusable bottle is becoming second nature as awareness grows, but plastic bottle waste is still widespread. Americans discard 2.5 million plastic bottles every hour. Coke, Gatorade, Naked, Snapple and Crystal Geyser were the most common brands found.
Similar to single-use plastic bags and other disposable food packaging, the ubiquitous and often unnecessary plastic straw is used for only a few minutes, but remains in the environment forever. Worst offenders: Starbucks, McDonalds, Dunkin Donuts and Burger King. Reusable straws are available in different sizes, and handy cleaning brushes too.
Quick stops to pick up a sandwich or salad are having a staggering environmental impact. To-go containers are almost always coated with or made of plastic like polystyrene, or made of Styrofoam, so they can't be recycled and they break down into toxic micro-particles. Get into the habit of bringing reusable options with you, like stainless steel To-Go Containers.
38 billion plastic cups are used in the U.S. every year, and if you include Styrofoam cups, add another 26 billion. Most eventually head to landfill because they are made of plastic that is difficult to recycle (like Solo cups and coffee cups). Top four brands responsible for the litter: Starbucks, McDonalds, Taco Bell and Dunkin Donuts. Carry an insulated tumbler with you every day!
40 billion disposable plastic utensils are used in the U.S. every year, and this number is predicted to rise as our takeout habit grows. Most throwaway forks, spoons and knives are made of hard-to-recycle polystyrene, adding to the eight million tons of plastic that enters our oceans every year—that's similar to emptying a garbage truck of plastic into the ocean every minute. The BAN List recommends bamboo/wood utensils, which you can find here!
Thankfully, single-use utensils, straws, bags and bottles are being included in plastic bans happening all over the world, and reusable options are inexpensive and easy to take along. There's a lot to learn about bioplastics as well, check out the BAN List for an in-depth study to help unravel misinformation about this potential solution.
Thanks to 5 Gyres (our partner and research-based non-profit focused on plastic pollution education), Plastic Pollution Coalition, Surfrider Foundation and UPSTREAM. Read the full The Plastics BAN List 2.0 report here.

What Does Age Discrimination Look Like? ProPublica Examines IBM
Thatcher Law Firm posted in Workplace Discrimination on Wednesday, May 2, 2018.
Recently, the independent, nonprofit investigative journalism newsroom ProPublica released a detailed analysis of massive personnel changes at IBM that it believes indicate age discrimination.
Over the past five years, IBM has cut over 20,000 U.S. employees aged 40 and over, which accounts for around 60 percent of its total job cuts. Some were hired back as contractors with substantially lower pay and benefits. Others were replaced with younger workers. A confidential planning memo said this was to "correct seniority mix."
ProPublica examined internal company documents, public records, and legal filings, and interviewed or surveyed over 1,400 former IBM employees for this story. IBM did not respond in detail to the allegations but generally denies them. Since ProPublica's original analysis was published, IBM has not provided any additional response. The layoffs, however, continue.
"Age discrimination is an open secret like sexual harassment was until recently," said the acting chair of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. "Everybody knows it's happening, but often these cases are difficult to prove" because courts have weakened the law. "The fact remains it's an unfair and illegal way to treat people that can be economically devastating."
Employers can be tempted to replace older workers, who have built up higher salaries and may receive legacy benefits, with younger, less expensive ones. Willfully doing so violates the 1967 Age Discrimination in Employment Act.
Here are some of the issues ProPublica highlighted. IBM allegedly:
Selected people for layoffs and firings using methods that are tilted against even high-performing older workers
Replaced older workers with younger ones
Invited laid-off workers to apply for other IBM positions but advised the managers not to hire them
Claimed that workers were released because their skills were out of date, but brought them back as contractors to do the same work
Denied older workers legally required information that would allow them to determine whether they are victims of age discrimination
Required departing workers to sign away the right to sue or join class actions
Kept the official number of layoffs low by converting job cuts into early retirements and working to increase resignations and firings. This avoided public disclosure requirements
Each of those actions gives the impression that age discrimination is taking place at IBM, although the issue has not been adjudicated in court.
"It's not good for society," commented a law professor. "We have rules to try to maintain some fairness in our lives, our age-discrimination laws among them. You can't just disregard them."
Have you seen similar activity at your company? If you suspect age discrimination, discuss your situation with an employment law attorney before making a complaint. Your lawyer can help you make a convincing case and protect you from retaliation.

rocco: the retro spectacles from Rodenstock.
In the 1960s the Rodenstock model "rocco" was revealed for the first time – and then soon after it could be seen all over the world and also on the faces of many famous people, e.g. Ronald Reagan. In the 1990s it disappeared from the face of the earth. But in 2014 rocco by Rodenstock returned to the fashion catwalk with its own collection. In a retro design, inspired by the rocco Original and made with ultramodern materials, these spectacles are perfect for trendsetters and fashion-conscious individuals. The yellow "rocco by Rodenstock" ring at the side tip is the typical distinctive mark of the design statement and gives every pair of spectacles a completely individual spot of colour.
Cool style in shape, colour and material.
The timeless shapes of the stylish frames combined with high-quality acetate in different colours give their wearers a special casual and urban flair. Combined with lenses with graduated tints, coating or functions such as contrast enhancement and polarization, the sunglasseses skilfully highlight the character of their wearer.
with the retro frames from rocco by Rodenstock.
Loud, confident and provocative. That is how models Steven, Freddie und Doro present themselves. Ladies model RR216 in particular creates a wilful flair. Due to the triangular lens shape, "Doro" is guaranteed to cause a stir and mark the new look of the times. The two unisex models, Steven and Freddie, are no less exciting. The stainless steel frames with a thin rim and flat temples provoke a fierce presence through their shape and are worthy of their name sakes.
Look at you! That is the motto of the new Rocco campaign, and the new models are being presented along the same lines with outstanding colour patterns and an original nose bridge. The correction spectacles made of acetate transform round, oval and angular shapes into true eye-catchers.

Here's to cap off the merry month of May --- my little crazy firework's take on childhood, profession and happiness.
I was doing housework the entire day that I let LB do her thing. We just did the routine. It was too platonic I felt like I'm just her employee. So when I finished, I sat beside her while she was watching Mike the Knight on Disney Jr.
LB: (eyes still glued on TV) Nyehhh.
LB: (looked at me with wondering eyes) I'm just here oh!
I love cooking. But there are times I get really lazy I order online or cook breakfast food all day. One time, we had tocino for lunch. It has become a staple hero dish 'cause it's sweet (malakas sa kanin) and easy to prepare.
LB: What's our food, 'Nay?
B: 'Nak, tocino. Letter T.
LB: Oh, it's yummy! It looks like blood.
LB: Why you always put it on the ref??? Just hold it, okay.
It was almost 11pm, I was doggone tired (as always!) and my Energizer bunny was still on the loose.
B: Kung kelan gabi na, likot ng likot. Enough na Pia.
B: Buti pa cellphone 'nak, nalolowbat.
LB: Because I'm not a cellphone, Nanay. I'm a peoples.
Sagana ka sa S. Matulog ka na.
Just imagine how my 4-year-old preschooler interprets a profession.
B: Do you wanna be a soldier like Tatay?
B: (uh-oh, kabado) What does it do?
B: (ah... relieved) Eh how about policeman?

Black-folk metallers Galar announce live line-up
November 4th, 2010 official
Norwegian Black-Folk Metallers GALAR, whose second full-length album "Til Alle Heimsens Endar" was released on Dark Essence Records in March of this year, have announced the band's live line up. Joining founder members M. Kristiansen (screams and rhythm guitar) and A. B. Lauritzen (clean vocals and bassoon) are Specter (GRAVDAL, AETERNUS) on lead guitar and Phobos (GRAVDAL, AETERNUS, MALSAIN) on drums. An announcement regarding a bass player is expected soon.
Based in Bergen, a town noted for its prolific, and increasingly important, music scene, GALAR was, until now, a two-man studio band, which used guest musicians from various musical disciplines to perform on "Til Alle Heimsens Endar", a concept album based around the "Heimskringla", Snorri Sturluson's history of Norwegian Kings. With appearances from Phobos on drums, Ricardo Odriozola on first and second violins, Hans Gunnar Hagen on viola, Siri Hilmen on cello, Morten Nome on double bass, and Cecile Langlie on female vox, "Til Alle Heimsens Endar", which means "until the ends of all worlds", is an album that is strongly evocative of the traditions of both black metal and folk music, but with an original sound and feel that is very much GALAR.
The band has been rehearsing the new live line up for several months, and both Kristiansen and Lauritzen, are looking forward to taking their music to a live audience. More information about GALAR can be found on the band's MySpace page at www.myspace.com/galarmetal

He said with picturesque view of Trikuta Hills in the North, Bahu fort, Jammu –Katra Railway lane in the South and Amar Mahal in the west, presents it as an attractive destination for the Golfers across the world.


What Are "Get Paid To" Websites and How Do They Work?
If you've been looking into the world of "make money online" opportunities for any length of time, you've probably come across a number of GPT (or "Get Paid To") websites. These are sites that pay you to complete certain tasks, which could be anything from taking surveys, to watching videos, to searching the internet.
In this article, I'll be answering some common questions people have regarding GPT sites. I'll also be going over their pros and cons and whether they're even worth your time or not. Alright, let's get started….
How Do GPT Sites Work?
GPT sites are pretty simple really. After you join, you'll have several options to start earning money, and these options depend on each individual site itself. A couple things almost every GPT site has are paid surveys and paid offers.
These are simply market research surveys conducted by third-parties through a GPT site. The surveys vary in length, some lasting only a few minutes, and some over an hour. Surveys pay according to the time you spend on them, but you should be aware that it's far less than minimum wage. We're talking pocket change here.
Another problem with paid surveys is that you won't always qualify for a survey, and may only be notified of that fact after spending a long time on it. In fact, I've found that qualifying for surveys is pretty rare and it's actually a lot more common to disqualify from them.
If you want to know more about paid surveys, I wrote a more in-depth article about them which you can read here.
This is where you can get paid to sign up for email lists, free trials, other websites, etc. Oftentimes, you actually have to pay for a product as well.
Paid offers are one of the fastest ways to make money with a GPT site, because usually it just requires you giving out a bunch of personal information – and sometimes even your credit card info – in exchange for several dollars and perhaps some spam.
As you can probably tell, I'm not much of a fan of paid offers, but they are a good way to make some pocket change if you have a genuine interest in completing them.
I also wrote an article about paid offers and my stance on them, which you can read here if you'd like.
Like I said earlier, paid surveys and offers are probably the most common way to earn money from a GPT site, but there are plenty of GPT sites that offer a variety of other ways as well. Below is a list of some of these ways. Keep in mind that these options are not available on all GPT sites.
Get paid to watch videos – This just means you need to have a video you probably couldn't care less about playing on your computer or phone for a while. Usually you get paid a couple cents for every 5 or 10 minutes of running the video.
Get paid to play games – Most of the time, you can only get paid to play games by actually making in-game purchases – which sort of defeats the point. But some websites, like Swagbucks and Earnhoney, allow you to earn a couple cents every so often just for playing simple games in your browser.
Search the web – Some GPT sites have their own browser, and will reward you with a few cents every now and then for using it. Swagbucks is most famous for this feature, and for good reason: I've made over $15, and recently got paid $1 for a single search!
Watch TV – Yep, you can actually get paid to watch television these days. However, it's not your usual TV where you can select different channels. It's just the GPT site's own "TV" and is pretty much all promotional stuff. In most cases, you'll earn about the same amount from this as with watching videos.
Print and use coupons – A few GPT sites offer the option to print out a variety of different grocery coupons, and for each one you print out you'll earn $0.10 or so. These are a win-win – you save money with the coupons, PLUS earn a few cents just for printing them out!
Listen to the Radio – Similar to the TV option, you can listen to the radio (which also has plenty of ads) as well. Usually you'll have to fill out a CAPTCHA code every half hour, and doing so will earn you a few cents. This means you'll have to be ready every half an hour to claim your earnings.
Enter the sweepstakes – This is definitely the riskiest way to earn money with a GPT site, since you have to pay a certain amount of your earnings to enter. But if you're the lucky winner, you can obviously make some decent cash.
Redeem promo codes – Some GPT sites will post promo codes on their social media pages or on their website, and you can redeem these codes by entering them in a code box. Codes are usually worth 2-5 cents each, and are posted once a day.
Get paid to read emails – Yet another way to earn a few cents with some GPT sites, is by opening paid emails they send you. You'll also have to click a link within the email, which will take you to their website for your reward – which is usually 2 cents.
Answer daily polls – With this option, all you have to do is answer a single question, and doing so will result in a 1 cent reward. Not very many GPT sites have this option.
Complete a list of daily tasks – Again, this is something only a few GPT sites offer that I know of. All it is, is a list of different tasks (like take a survey, complete an offer, watch a video, etc.) and by completing the list each day, you will earn several cents.
Shop and get cash back – Okay, so this isn't exactly a way to EARN money, but you can certainly save some money this way. All you have to do is follow a specific link to sites like Amazon, Walmart and Best Buy and when you purchase something there, you'll get a small percentage cash back.
Refer others to the GPT site – Every member is given a unique "referral link", which can be posted on social media, on your website, or wherever. When someone joins the site through your link, they become your referral and you get paid.
Well, that about sums up my list of other ways to earn at GPT sites. Remember, most GPT sites only offer a few of these options. It's the rare website that offers them all.
If you know of any option I left out, feel free to let me know in the comments below and I will be sure to include it in this post.
Hopefully, if you have any questions about GPT sites, they'll be answered here. If not, please leave a comment below and I will be happy to assist.
How can GPT Sites Pay You for All This?
GPT sites pay their users for these tasks by sharing their advertising revenue. When you take a survey, or watch a video, or whatever, the GPT site is getting paid. They then share a small percentage of the earnings with you, and keep the rest for themselves.
Do GPT Sites Track What You Do Online?
Only some of them, and only in certain circumstances. For example, if you're using one of their paid search engines, then yes, of course you're being tracked. But Google tracks you as well. Everything tracks you these days, and therefore I personally see no problem with being tracked by a GPT site.
Of course, they also track what you do ON their site, and they have your personal information from signing up as well. But again, every site you sign up with has any information you're asked to provide.
How Much Money Can You Make with a GPT Site?
It depends. I know this is an unsatisfactory answer, but it's 100% true. It depends entirely on how often you take surveys or do the other tasks. Plus, some offers pay up to $20 or more but they can only be completed once. So, you can technically make hundreds in a single day from various GPT sites, but from then on those offers will be unavailable and you'll be stuck only making a few dollars.
I know that if you can qualify for a lot of surveys, it's possible to make $10 per day with this method. But that would require doing surveys literally all day. There are much better things to spend your time on in my opinion than taking surveys all day.
Anything else will just earn you a few cents or maybe a dollar or two per day, but again that would require an excessive amount of time.
So, technically it's possible to make some pretty good pocket change every day with these sites, but the time involved is simply not worth the pay.
To give you some real numbers, I know of a lot of people who've made over $1,000 in one year using just one GPT site. I also know that it's possible to make upwards of $20,000/year if you spend all day every day on a huge amount of different GPT sites.
But I will say it again, the time involved is simply not worth it. You'd be much better off building your own online business, and by working hard you could make far more than $20,000 by the one year mark.
Is There a Minimum Payout Threshold on GPT Sites?
Yes, unfortunately most GPT sites require that you have earned a specific amount before you can cash out. This minimum can be anywhere from $2, to $50. That means you'll have to spend a lot of time doing tasks before you'll see your virtual earnings turn into real cash.
The good news is, not every GPT site has a minimum you have to meet. Qmee, which pays you to search the web and take surveys, allows you to cash out whenever – even if it's just a few cents. (Qmee is one of my favorite GPT sites, by the way).
Is there a Different Between GPT Sites and PTC Sites?
Yes. GPT sites are known as "Get Paid To" sites, and generally have longer and higher paying tasks than PTC sites.
PTC sites, on the other hand, are known as "Paid to Click" sites and they pay their users fractions of a penny for micro-tasks such as viewing an ad for 10 seconds. Some PTC sites do offer other ways to earn, like surveys and offers. These sites, still known as PTC sites, are more accurately described as a hybrid between GPT and PTC.
Getting paid for simple tasks online is a legitimate way to earn some pocket change. You can't expect to make very much though, and it requires a lot of work and a huge time investment in order to earn anything worthwhile.
Oftentimes, you'll have to give out tons of personal information which can be uncomfortable and should be avoided if possible.
I personally only use the passive income opportunities within GPT sites, which means pretty much just using their search engine for a few cents every now and then. Another way to earn some passive income is by letting a playlist of videos run while doing other things. However, it's not entirely passive as you'll have to manually start a new playlist every so often.
In my honest opinion, anything that's not passive is just a waste of time. I only have so many hours in a day, and I'd much rather spend my time building my own online business, which has absolutely no limit on earnings potential.
Have you ever tried any GPT sites? What was your experience? Feel free to leave a comment below, and if you have any questions, I'd love to help out!
Serious about Making Money Online? Click Here to See My #1 Recommendation!
Thank you so much for this really comprehensive article. I've signed up for a bunch of these sites and I agree with you, mostly they're a waste of time and the work is mindless. I've also found that most of the sites I've checked out have no paid surveys or tasks for my country, South Africa – I think if you live in the US there's a lot more scope and perhaps an opportunity to make real money. Having said that, I have made $70 from website testing (2 tests so far, took about 45 minutes each) through Userlytics, so that was quick, easy money.
Would I want to do this full time for a living? NO.
I'm in the US, so the surveys and offers always work but I have heard that people outside the US can't access certain GPT sites. This is just on a site-by-site basis though, as some are ONLY available in the US, while others are available worldwide. However, even in the US the opportunity to make real money is possible, but it's extremely time-consuming.
It's great to hear you were able to make $70 with Userlytics. I actually know someone in real life who's made a decent amount with UserTesting, which is a similar service. Usability testing is definitely a lot more lucrative than taking surveys or watching videos!

Everything You Should Learn About FurnitureThe desk you sit at while you work needs to be sturdy and high quality. The chair you sit in can't fail you. Your bed needs to hold you up for eight hours each night. Heaven forbid your dining area table gave out while you ate! Discover ways to buy quality pieces at great prices by reading below.To discover family friendly sofas and chairs search for fabrics that are stain resistant. This could include leather or cloth sofas and chairs addressed with a stain protectant. By choosing family friendly furniture, you are able to help to keep your furniture looking just like your day you purchased it with minimal effort.When attempting to get the best deal on furniture, search for furniture stores that are offering deep discounts on furniture. Many furniture stores provide a money-back guarantee. If a bit of furniture is returned, it should not be sold as new. Instead, they discount it and then sell it as being used.When buying a sofa, consider longevity first, then focus on comfort second. Cushions ought to be backed up by springs. Eight-way springs which are hand-tied would be best, but serpentine springs also work if they're made well. Test the springs by touching them with the furniture's upholstery. Good springs are close together and feel firm.In case you are trying to purchase furniture produced in either fully or at best partially environmentally responsible manners, watch out for three possible certifications. Scientific Certification Systems uses an SCS label. Also search for SmartWood certification from the Rainforest Alliance. The Green Seal organization also verifies furniture, simply saying Green Seal around the label.If you wish to be absolutely sure that you will be getting a bit of furniture made out of forest management practices in your mind, search for the FSC certification. There are a variety of certifications around, many of which are great. However, the FSC certification particularly is respected internationally for forest management.Check Craigslist for deals. There's often lots of furniture that's given away for nothing at all, apart from your expense to get it! That's an enormous deal. So why do people give furniture away? They've made a decision to upgrade, and it may cost lots of money to employ someone to eliminate the older piece. Make the most of these situations.After you have the very best furniture in your house, your worries will cease. You won't be scared your chair will collapse beneath you. You won't obtain a spring within your derriere while you take a seat on your couch. Replace all of the bad with good furniture using the tips you've read here.


Enjoy wonderful hair without the worry!
Though blow dryers make your hair look great, all that exposure to heat is actually quite damaging to your hair. Your hair can end up dried out, frizzy, or with split ends, which is never a good thing. If you're worried that you're going to fry your hair with your frequent blow drying, there are some steps you can take to minimize the heat damage.
Begin blow drying your hair at a low temperature. Make sure to work your way through the hair sections you mapped out in the previous step. Work through your hair until it's about 40% dry.
Continue blow drying your hair on medium or high heat. A good way to use a diffuser is to drop your hair into its fingers and letting the air blow up through to the roots.
Flip the heat setting on your dryer to cool, or use the frost-boost button if the model of your dryer has one.

O'Gwynn Receives Meritorious Service Award
Marty O'Gwynn, a longtime staff member, received Oklahoma Baptist University's Meritorious Service Award during the university's Centennial Spring Commencement May 15.
The Meritorious Service Award is one of three major university honors presented during the spring graduation ceremonies each year. The award honors a faculty or staff member who has "made a substantial commitment of years, service, and who has been a loyal and faithful faculty or staff member."
Marty O'Gwynn (left) receives OBU's Meritorious Service Award from President David Whitlock during the university's recent spring Commencement May 15.
O'Gwynn joined OBU in 1991 as director of public relations. He moved to the alumni office in 1996 and served as the executive director of the OBU Alumni Association from 1996-2005. After his stint in the alumni office, he returned to the public relations office where he supervises a staff of five who handle all the communication duties for the university.
In presenting the award, OBU President David W. Whitlock said that O'Gwynn is, in many ways, the face of the university as he decides what to say and how to say it in order to put OBU in the best light possible.
"In times of crisis, he advises presidents and other OBU leaders and calmly presents the OBU vision to the world," Whitlock said. "He has been the volunteer voice of the Lady Bison basketball team for nine years and works tirelessly with the Bison Athletic Association. He willingly prepares PowerPoint presentations for a multitude of campus activities whether they are related to his department or not."
O'Gwynn grew up in Central Florida and earned a bachelor of arts degree in journalism from Baylor University. He completed a master of arts degree in communication from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in 1986. His career in higher education began in September 1986 as media services coordinator for Palm Beach Atlantic College. He moved to Shorter College in Rome, Ga., in late 1987 as director of public relations, then moved to Shawnee in April 1991.
He has served in various roles with District IV of the Council for Advancement and Support of Education, and currently is a member of the CASE commission for communications and marketing.
O'Gwynn and his wife, Deborah, are members of Immanuel Baptist Church in Shawnee. They have two sons, Andrew, a 2009 OBU graduate, and Timothy, a rising OBU junior.

Unhealthy Hospitals
The future of Afghanistan begins at the end of next year, after U.S. combat troops depart and Afghan forces take over for keeps.
After spending more than a half-trillion dollars, it's difficult keeping track of the state of the Afghan security forces – army and police – amid conflicting claims about how well, and how many, of them have been trained.
So let's pick a simpler yardstick – the hospitals the U.S. is building for the people of Afghanistan. There, concrete measures – square footage built, beds provided, how much they'll cost to operate – are easier to assess.

Malware jumps 'air gap' between non-networked devices
Researchers create proof-of-concept software to show how standalone computers can communicate via built-in speakers and microphones.
Steven Musil
Dec. 3, 2013 6:11 p.m. PT
Computer scientists have developed malware capable of establishing communications between devices that don't have active network connections. The discovery threatens the perceived protection of the "air gap" that separates standalone devices.
Using the built-in microphones and speakers found on PCs, the lab-created prototype malware uses inaudible audio signals to transmit small amounts of data over covert channels at distances of nearly 65 feet. The distance can be increased by creating a network of devices that repeat the signals.
The proof-of-concept software, detailed in the Journal of Communications, suggests that a lack of an Internet connection isn't enough to insulate sensitive internal computer systems from the outside world. The research comes after the recent disclosure of mysterious malware that used high-frequency signals to hurdle between non-networked devices.

Using the microphones and speakers on a pair of Lenovo T400s, the researchers adapted software originally created to facilitate robust underwater communications. Originally developed by the Research Department for Underwater Acoustics and Marine Geophysics and based on an open-source development toolkit for signal processing, the adaptive communication system modem was able to transmit data of 20bps up to 19.7 meters (64.6 feet) apart. Greater distances could be achieved by forming an acoustical mesh network with the addition of nearby devices to the chain.
Despite the small transmission rates, the researchers warned that attackers could arm the malware with keyloggers to record sensitive information, such as login credentials.
"The concept of a covert acoustical mesh network renders many conventional security concepts useless, as acoustical communications are usually not considered," the researchers wrote.
As countermeasures, the researchers propose using a host-based intrusion detection system for analyzing audio signals and a low-pass filter that allows low-frequency signals to pass while gradually reducing the force of higher frequency signals.

NSString *localFilePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"www/index" ofType:@"html"] ;

And then check the name of the html file . It might be index.html.
If you have difficulties in finding the problem you said pathForResoursce: instead of pathForResource:
