These two cases illustrate how OSHA administrative-review courts may reverse major citations when evidence of compliance has been excluded.
Expert witnesses' testimony for the employer on the inapplicability of the new crane standards' separate duties and on technical safety of the operation were taken out of colloquy and admitted.
In an early test of the interpretation of new federal and state OSHA crane standards, the bulk of trial testimony by three standards authors and recognized industry experts was objected to and excluded as evidence by putting it into "colloquy." Under the new crane-safety standards, worksite employer-supervision responsibilities are separately designated for the lift director, site supervisor, crane owner and operators. When a crane owner leased its crane and operators to a different employer and required by contract for the crane renter customer to supervise the leased operators and crane activities, the crane-owning company, without supervisors on the job, was cited for lift-director and site-supervisor duties related to contacting the utility company and de-energizing powerlines adjacent to the work area.
At trial, the employer presented three experts: two former OSHA agency technical-interpretation and code-enforcement managers and an industry expert who served on OSHA federal and state standards-writing-and-reviewing committees. Their testimony on the safety rule, on industry safe practices, job divisions under the safety rule, exemptions and the compliance of employer safety programs in effect was excluded as irrelevant at trial. On appeal, the reviewing Board Of Industrial Insurance Appeals reversed the decision. In its unanimous decision, the board determined that expert witnesses' testimonies were relevant and helpful in resolving these type of citation-appeal issues.
"We reviewed the testimony of the expert witnesses, Mr. Sicklesteel, Mr. Lemon and Mr. Parker. Their testimony was helpful to the trier of fact in understanding the technical aspects of the crane-assisted lift operation. Mr. Lemon's testimony aids in analyzing the safety rule. Mr. Parker's testimony assists in determining facts at issue, specifically whether Sicklesteel was the lift director or site supervisor and thus responsible for contacting the utility company. After carefully reviewing the entire record and considering the arguments of the parties, we conclude that the testimony of Thomas Sicklesteel, Charles Lemon and Robert Parker should be removed from colloquy and admitted as evidence.
"We now turn to the substantive issues in this appeal. We agree with our industrial appeals judge that the department failed to make a prima facie case on alleged violation 1-2 concerning an inadequate safety program, cited as serious under WAC 296-155-110(2). The record establishes that on the date of the alleged violation, Sicklesteel did have an adequate safety program in place. This alleged violation should be vacated.
"We also agree with our industrial-appeals judge that the department failed to make a prima facie case as to the alleged violations 1-1a and 1-1b, which were cited as serious under WAC 296-155-53408(2)(d)(i) and WAC 296-155-53408(2)(d)(ii). But our reasoning differs from the reasons set forth in the Proposed Decision and Order. These allegations addressed employer duties and responsibilities when operating cranes under power lines. Both of these alleged violations were premised on the employer being the lift director and/or site supervisor as defined at WAC 296-155-53401(1).
"Mr. Lemon testified that Service Electric took many steps to ensure their employees' safety, including developing a lift plan, holding a planning meeting, determining exactly where the energized power lines were, assigning several dedicated spotters, and contacting the utility company and obtaining the exact voltage of the power lines. Mr. Parker explained that the lift director or site supervisor had the duty to contact utility companies, and the lift director's duties or responsibilities were not applicable to Sicklesteel in this situation. Mr. Sicklesteel explained that a lift director starts by defining the work zone where the crane is going to work and identifying the hazards, such as power lines. Sicklesteel did not create a lift plan for this lift. Here, it is unrebutted and uncontested that Service Electric employee Andy Johnson was the lift director and the site supervisor. In addition, Mr. Sicklesteel testified that no managers or supervisors from Sicklesteel were in attendance at any project safety meetings or were present on the work site when the lift was made.
"Taken as a whole, the record shows that the department failed to prove that Sicklesteel knew, or could have known, of the alleged violative condition of energized power lines. The department also failed to prove that Sicklesteel had actual knowledge because there were no Sicklesteel managers on site, and failed to show that Sicklesteel was responsible for contacting the utility company to arrange for the power lines to be de-energized.
Upon this decision, the agency has 30 days to appeal.
Excellent workers comp experience ratings/MOD factors help an employer defeat six "willful" citations.
"Between May 6, 2009, and March 13, 2014, there were 16 inspections with only five resulting in fall-protection violations; six of those inspections resulted in no violations at all.
For a copy of either of these cases, please contact Ehlke Law Offices.
In most cases, for the reasons discussed below, a creative settlement ultimately will achieve more for worker safety, according to Furst, than litigating a case at the state's Board of Industrial Insurance Appeals, which is Washington's equivalent to the federal OSHA Act Review Commission.
Is there a better than 50-percent chance that the WISHA department will prevail on major violations? Taking a weak case to the board hurts the department's long-term credibility, and ultimately hurts its enforcement efforts, thus lessening worker safety.
Is the employer willing to take significant extra steps not required by Washington Administrative Code rules that will improve safety in a meaningful way? This usually will involve agreeing to do something that the board could not order an employer to do. The extra steps in a settlement do not have to be directly related to the violations on appeal. It is more important that they provide genuine improvements to safety that truly will make a difference.
If employers complying with WISHA rules are at a competitive disadvantage, then less employers will comply with the rules, resulting in a loss of protection to workers.
As part of a duty to maintain a level playing field, it is important that WISHA cases with 'bad actors' are the highest priority for litigation. Cases with bad actors should either not be settled, or the settlement terms should be based on a determination that the settlement will do more to level the playing field than the expected results of a board hearing. Most WISHA appeals do not involve bad actors. The state's attorney general's office consciously attempts to settle cases with most employers to free up attorney resources to prosecute bad actors.
Recent years have seen a trend of employers appealing solely because they do not want a serious violation on their record due to its impact on insurance, bonding and bidding. Many employers now are willing to spend $50-75,000 litigating a $3000 penalty, merely to either get the serious violation off of their record, or to tie up the case in litigation for several years before they have to report the violation. Appeals filed and litigated solely to reduce the violation classification have come to dominate the AG WISHA caseload.
In our law office's experience, the extra steps referred to by Furst are most easily recognized by OSHA and state-OSHA agencies for settlement when they involve major extra training, extra monitoring or significant safety-program expenditures (especially for extra PPE or voluntary machine guarding beyond the standards) when they are not related to the citations. Otherwise, enforcement agencies can simply reject them as abatement steps instead of recognizing them as catalysts for settlement.
"We cannot settle cases in a manner that will merely encourage more appeals and increase our workload," says Furst. "So, provide us with either reasons why the department's case is weak or what extra steps your client will take that will exceed the benefits of the department prevailing at a hearing.
"What are some of the extra steps an employer might consider offering?
Hiring a consultant to conduct comprehensive inspections of the cited employer's facilities, including uncited, uninspected facilities.• Spending five-figure amounts on new or additional safety equipment.
Implementing a comprehensive PPE enforcement policy.
Adopting a best-practices safety program and procedures that the agency can use to educate the industry.
Working with an industry association to develop new safety or guarding technology.
Hiring additional safety-program personnel and agreeing to retain them as full-time employees for at least five years.

Os Quatro e Meia (loose translation: "The Four and A Half") are a band from Coimbra, Portugal. The band emerged in 2013, after a successful performance by a group of university students from Coimbra in a show to raise funds for a dance academy. The group is currently composed of six elements: João Cristóvão (violin and mandolin), Mário Ferreira (accordion and voice), Pedro Figueiredo (percussion), Ricardo Almeida (voice and guitar), Rui Marques (double bass) and Tiago Nogueira (voice and guitar). All of them have, besides music, another profession: there are three doctors (Pedro, Ricardo and Tiago), a computer engineer (Mário), a civil engineer (Rui) and a music teacher (João). In 2017, the sextet started to achieve nationwide recognition and became one of the most famous bands in Portugal.

London Festival Focuses Diversity Education
London festival focuses on diversity in education
Identity is an increasingly important consideration for Further Education and Skills providers, a London conference will hear this week.
The Festival of Identities, which takes place at CityLit, London on May 10 and May 11, will feature a line up of employers, learning providers and thought leaders to showcase the importance of identity in removing barriers, changing behaviours and motivating others to succeed in learning and work.
Organisers say the festival will highlight how learning providers in all sectors can use multiple approaches from arts to research to promote diversity and prepare learners for a 'superdiverse' future.
Mark Malcomson, Principal and Chief Executive of City Lit, said:
"As the largest adult education centre in Europe, we attract an enormous diversity of individuals from different cultures, backgrounds, age groups, interests and viewpoints each year and enjoy celebrating this rich diversity in our teaching and learning practice. We are delighted to act as host for what promises to be a though provoking event with real impact."
Catina Barrett, Head of Inclusion from Learning and Work Institute, said:
"Fifty years on from the 1965 Race Relations Act we need to accept that people are still facing many of the same blocks to equality of opportunity, alongside several new ones. There's an urgent need, especially within the changing landscape of Further Education and Skills, to address why too many people remain excluded in learning and work and face barriers to social mobility.
"We have real opportunities to innovate for the future for people from every background and stage of life but we need to ask what it is that we can do right now – as leaders, teachers and learners – to ensure that we use our agency to deliver change. The Festival of Identities will offer different 'ways of seeing' identities as a deliberate provocation to help us answer this question and more."
She added that the festival would also look at accountability in the collection and sharing of equalities data.
Anyone wanting to attend the festival can book tickets at https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/equalitiestoolkit-10309340739.
Organisations who will be attending include: the Association of Colleges, bLack of Respect Campaign, Bromley College, Deloitte MCS Limited, Equality North East, FE Providers' Network, Forum for Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI), Institute of Research into Super Diversity (University of Birmingham), Learning and Work Institute, Mental Health in FE network, The National Council for Faith and Belief in Further Education (fbfe), the National Skills Academy for Rail, Northern College, the Women's Leadership Network, World Skills and a full lineup and description can be found at http://www.equalitiestoolkit.com/content/festival-line-up

DISCOUNT (379р → 149р) Game Bridge Constructor Portal for iPhone, iPad and Mac – a hybrid of Portal and Bridge Cunstructor
Back in 2007, Portal was part of Valve's popular The Orange Box collection of computer games. The long-awaited release of Half-Life 3 or Portal 3 never took place and turned into a meme. Valve fans have long ceased to hope for a new Portal, so the appearance of the Bridge Constructor Portal is a real event.
Download Bridge Constructor Portal for iPhone and iPad (App Store)
Download Bridge Constructor Portal for macOS (Mac App Store)
In the game you have to become a new employee of the Portals Nature Research Laboratory, whose duties include ensuring the safety of the movement of men in cars from one edge of the screen to the other. To do this, you must build bridges, ramps and other objects in 60 cameras. At your disposal will be repulsive and accelerating gels, aerial panels of faith, cubes, etc. Using a special blaster you can shoot orange and blue portals. Upon entering the blue portal, you will exit the orange and vice versa.
The Bridge Constructor Portal itself would not have been such a great puzzle if it had not been for the presence of the ubiquitous GLaDOS assistant. She will teach you everything you need for your work and take the game to a whole new level.
It is worth considering that the Portal Bridge Cunstructor is still not Portal, but rather, the Bridge Cunstructor on the Portal theme. As in Bridge Cunstructor, you will have many tools for building bridges, but, like in Portal, you will have to solve problems (for example, use the force of gravity to accelerate objects). From the original Portal version, the game also received switches and cubes.
Game management is intuitive and works very smoothly. In order to mark the place where you want to put the new bridge component, simply swipe your finger across the screen. To move objects, touch, hold and drag. The zoom will help you to set the desired element as accurately as possible.
♥ BY TOPIC: Overview Splitter Critters is Apple's Game of the Year.
You can enjoy the game on the iPad, but it's also optimized for the iPhone (though you'll have to use zoom more often, because on a small display it's not so easy to set the item in the right place). The inability to drag an object to the desired location due to the small screen can be very annoying, but the zoom easily solves this problem.
Bridge Constructor Portal is divided into levels. To pass the level, it is enough to bring to mind one tested object, while the entire bridge built in general can collapse. True, the game has a significant drawback – if you can't solve the problem for a long time, the whole process will stall until you find a solution.
Other puzzles, such as The Room, have a hint system. If you think about a task longer than usual, the game will provide you with a small hint. If it does not help you, in a few minutes a second, more specific one will appear. However, if it turns out to be powerless, the third clue will literally tell you what needs to be done. However, there is nothing like this in the Bridge Constructor Portal, and if you are stuck, then for a long time.
Portal fans may not like this part of the game. If you are a fan of Bridge Cunstructor, then the novelty will be to your liking. Moreover, the new mechanics borrowed from Portal make the construction of bridges even more interesting.
Bridge Constructor Portal can be downloaded from the App Store for 379 rubles. The game is compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod touch running iOS 9 and later. There is localization in Russian.

The company would be launching the Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe in India next month.


Victorian election: Labor has promised to make 'wage theft' a crime if re-elected, but is it feasible?
The systematic and serious underpayment of wages or other statutory entitlements is currently not a criminal offence in Victoria, or anywhere else in Australia.
This is despite widespread examples of underpayment revealed throughout the 7-Eleven franchise network, Domino's Pizza, and others, including the Made Establishment Group of restaurants owned by celebrity chef George Colombaris.
Studies have shown that one in five young workers are underpaid. The rate of underpayment is even higher for temporary migrant workers - one third of workers surveyed received less than half of the minimum wage.
The Australian Council of Trade Unions have described wage theft as a 'business model'.
The Victorian Labor Party has pledged that if re-elected on November 24, it will criminalise wage theft for employers who 'deliberately withhold wages, superannuation or other employee entitlements, falsify records, or fail to keep employment records'.
The incumbent Labor Government has promised that employers could face ten years jail and significant fines: up to $190,284 for individuals and up to $951,420 for corporations.
The Government has already assigned $22 million in the Victorian Budget 2018/19 to the Victorian Wage Inspectorate. If the deliberate underpayment of workers is criminalised, this body will investigate and prosecute wage theft.
On 24 July 2018, the Shadow Industrial Relations Minister Robert Clark said the Victorian Liberal Party had not decided whether they would support imprisoning employers who deliberately unpaid workers, but said his preference was for wage theft to be dealt with at federal level through the Office of the Fair Work Ombudsman (FWO).
There does not seem to be any policy statements from the Victorian Greens on this topic.
Supporters of criminalising wage theft argue that if employees steal money from the till they would risk criminal sanctions, so the same should apply to employers who don't pay workers what they're owed.
They argue that under the current system there is a high level of non-compliance; insufficient deterrence for employers and it's difficult for employees to recover money owed to them.
Recently, penalties were increased ten-fold for serious contraventions, but it is too early to say whether the increased penalties have had the effect of changing employer behaviour.
It is presumed by supporters of a criminalisation model that the prospect of imprisonment and criminal penalties will act as sufficient deterrence to prevent wage theft from occurring. However, deterrence will only be achieved if a significant number of perpetrators are successfully prosecuted. As criminal offences must be proved beyond reasonable doubt, strong evidence is required to satisfy the evidentiary burden. Prosecutions are incredibly resource intensive and a considerable amount of funding and resources would need to be provided to achieve successful prosecutions. Unless this occurs, the deterrent effect of a criminalisation model may not be as considerable as assumed.
There are clear constitutional questions that may impede the introduction of state based criminal laws.
It appears that s 26(1) of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) prevents industrial laws being introduced for the 'establishment or enforcement of terms and conditions of employment'. It is likely that enforcement includes criminal laws as a type of enforcement action, although it could be argued that such action is for the 'maintenance of civil society' and therefore not an excluded category.
Further, s 30 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) excludes state law from applying in other cases if there is an inconsistency with federal law. There is a requirement under the Australian Constitution that Federal laws will take priority over state laws where there is an inconsistency and where the law already 'covers the field'.
The constitutional issues are a significant hurdle that any state government must overcome to successfully create offences targeting underpayment of wages or risk the prospect that any new offences will be held invalid by the High Court.
The constitutional challenges are likely insurmountable, throwing a significant spanner into the works for Labor's proposed policy.
Workers such as temporary migrant workers fear speaking up about wage theft because they fear that they may lose their jobs and therefore their rights to work in Australia, particularly if they have been working more hours than they are allowed to under their visa. If reporting their employer leads to criminal prosecution, they would most likely be compelled to give evidence. This may further deter complaints as they may fear the impact that such evidence will have on their employment.
Employers may be less willing to voluntarily come forward and admit to wrongdoing if they risk facing criminal sanctions, undermining the methods used by the FWO to recoup underpayment and to improve conditions in workplaces. Criminal actions in courts are likely to be prioritised over civil actions, which means the enforcement reach of the FWO will be reduced.
Criminal offences are unlikely to be able to target all beneficiaries of wage theft. For example, due to the high evidentiary burden, prosecutions will be unlikely able to trace offending to lead firms in a supply chain, labour hire agencies and franchisors in franchise networks despite indirect involvement or obtaining a benefit through wage theft.
There are also challenges linked to a state inspectorate prosecuting and investigating wage theft, while the civil enforcement role continues through the FWO at federal level. Insufficient dialogue to coordinate responses to wage theft may lead to ineffective regulation and unsatisfactory outcomes for workers.
If a criminalisation model is adopted, it should feature as part of a hybrid regulatory response at federal level, operating concurrently with the civil enforcement powers of the FWO and be reserved for the most serious cases of wage theft.

Q: Four colinear points on the curve $y= 2x^4 + 7x^3 + 3x -5$ If four distinct  points on the curve $y= 2x^4 + 7x^3 + 3x -5$ are colinear. Arithmetic mean of the x-coordinates of the above four points is in the form a/b where a and b are coprime. Find a+b.
I first thought that points lie on the x-axis but that is not the as this curve has only 2 real roots. Apart from this I have no idea how to solve this.

A: Suppose the common line has the equation $y=mx+n$. Then the $x$ coordinates of those $4$ points are the solutions to the equation: $$2x^4+7x^3+(3-m)x-5-n=0=2(x-x_1)(x-x_2)(x-x_3)(x-x_4).$$

With excellent living and working conditions and a warm welcome for people of all faiths, the UAE has been able to attract expertise from around the world to help it to achieve its goals. Now the awarding of the first of the country's new long-term residency visas to winners and finalists of the Mohammed bin Rashid Medal for Scientific Distinction signals that the focus has shifted to retaining it.
It is barely eight months since the Cabinet announced an overhaul of the visa system that would allow specialists in medical, scientific and technical fields to stay in the UAE for up to ten years. With the affixing of the coveted pink residency visa in the passports of 20 experts in fields ranging from nanotechnology to aerospace engineering, the new system is now very much up and running.
The objective is clear: to boost the country's role as an incubator of talent and innovation and, equally importantly, to foster creative thinking in young people in the Emirates– a vital part of the drive to transform the UAE into a knowledge-based economy equipped to forge a competitive future in a post-oil world.
This initiative means that some of the most talented scientists and academics will be able to plan long-term projects. By giving young academics and scientists the opportunity to interact with leading experts from around the world, the scheme will help the UAE to make its research and development capabilities.
This month also saw the launch of the National Experts Programme, under which talented Emiratis will be mentored by experts in fields deemed vital to the nation's future prosperity.
As witnessed by the launch last year of the first satellite designed and built entirely by Emirati engineers, the UAE is on track to excel in some of the most demanding of disciplines. Now, for the first recipients of the new visas and for the country with which they have chosen to share their expertise, the opportunities are endless.

Q: Make a dropdownlist save the new value that the user selects I have a DropDownList iniwhich on page load it loads up all the data into it, however when the user wants to make a change to what text is displayed they just simply click on the dropdown and select the new one. My question is How do I make it so it saves the new text value that they choose? Here is what I have now:
Private Sub cboCure_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cboCure.SelectedIndexChanged

    cboCure.AutoPostBack = True

    Dim objXMLDoc As New System.Xml.XmlDocument
    Dim objNodeList As System.Xml.XmlNodeList

    Dim strXML As String = ""
    Dim url As String = ""
    MaterialStuff = New Message.Material

    Dim code As String = cboCure.SelectedItem.Text

    cboCure.Items.Clear()
    If cboCure.Items.Count < 1 Then
        strXML = Message.GetCureCodes

        objXMLDoc.LoadXml(strXML)

        objNodeList = objXMLDoc.GetElementsByTagName("Material_Cure")

        cboCure.Items.Add("")

        For Each childNode As System.Xml.XmlNode In objNodeList.Item(0).ChildNodes
            cboCure.Items.Add(New System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListItem(childNode.SelectSingleNode("CureCodeLetter").InnerText,
                childNode.SelectSingleNode("CureCode").InnerText))
        Next

    End If

    cboCure.SelectedItem.Text = code

End Sub

I want the variable code to be the new text value that the user clicks but I can't seem to get it right, it keeps showing up as "" or the value that is originally displayed when the page loads.
EDIT:
Here is my Page_Load
 If Not Page.IsPostBack Then

    ...code

 else
    cboCure_SelectedIndexChanged(sender, e )

 end if


Choosing a career in health administration can provide a lifetime of satisfying work in a dynamic environment. Technology, innovation and an aging population are factors that point to growth opportunities in a number of related industries.
But it all begins with choosing the right program for you. What qualities separate an average program from a great one? What mistakes should a student avoid when deciding how to further their educational goals? The best answers can be found by consulting successful executives who have not only weathered recent trends in health care, but understand how to take advantage of future opportunities.
As you begin your career path, it's important to determine what areas of health care administration interest you most and have strong future prospects. According to Marty Bonick, President and CEO of Jewish Hospital Medical Campus in Kentucky, several areas look poised for growth in the future. While he acknowledges that the current job market has been affected by the economy, Bonick sees many reasons to be optimistic about the future. Companies that might have been hesitant to invest in personnel resources in a time of legislative uncertainty can begin to plan accordingly now that reform laws have passed. In addition, the provider side of the equation should be affected by heavy retirement, creating new employment opportunities. Bonick, for example, expects insurance and technology to grow as the industry adapts to a new economy, and cited business and technology as key areas of concentration for new job-seekers.
To best prepare for these new opportunities, he suggests choosing a program with a strong track record of not only helping students attain their degree, but also assisting them in career placement after their education is complete.
"I would seek an accredited program with experienced faculty and place strong emphasis on completing a post-graduate residency or fellowship program," Bonick says. "The experience gained in this setting, in my opinion, cannot be matched by other online or start-up programs."
While it's important to know how to approach the right program, you need more than that to be successful. You need to avoid making common mistakes - the kinds of mistakes that can cost you time, money and opportunities as you pursue a career in health administration. While having an idea where you want your career path to lead can be healthy, Bonick explains that you also have to be careful not to limit yourself. "I would also focus on programs that emphasize leadership development and the industry as a whole, versus programs more narrowly-focused on catering to just one or a few segments of the industry and placing their students in silo-focused roles." Gaining a grasp of the entire health industry will help you remain flexible and valuable in a dynamic job market. While it's important to identify certain jobs that attract your attention and interest, you don't want to limit your areas of expertise to a degree that affects your ability to qualify for potential positions.
In a competitive job market, you want as many advantages on your side as possible. Bonick believes choosing a program that both provides experienced faculty and emphasizes face-to-face interaction will help you develop leadership and critical-thinking skills and put the odds in your favor. "The goal is getting an education, not just a degree," he says.
Jewish Hospital Medical Campus is a 442-bed facility that has been ranked as one of the 50 Best Hospitals by U.S. News & World Report. You can follow his thoughts about the health care industry and his experiences and insights regarding health administration at www.hlifeblog.com.

This regulatory standard applies to those in or seeking to take up "prescribed positions" in Guernsey entities. A "prescribed person" has been defined in the GFSC guidance as "director, controller, partner, manager, senior officer, significant shareholder, shareholder controller, indirect controller, general representative, beneficial owner of a financial services business, company secretary and such other positions as may be prescribed".
So, what does "fit and proper" actually mean in practical terms? The GFSC guidance identifies three main aspects they will consider if they are asked to assess an individual's fitness and propriety: competence, probity and solvency.
Competence will be assessed by reference to objective criteria such as relevant experience and professional qualifications for the role. However, more subjective considerations will also be considered, such as the individual's understanding of the role, the business model within which the role sits and the regulatory obligations associated with the role. The individual's ability to dedicate sufficient time to the role will also be considered.
Probity will be measured by assessing a person's integrity, honesty and reputation. It is in this area that an individual's approach to their role and past history in any previous role will be considered, as well as any sanction or formal action taken against the individual or which is pending. This will range from internal disciplinary proceedings at work to regulatory investigations or criminal charges. The concept of "integrity" is open to subjective interpretation but it is likely that the GFSC will follow the approach of English courts. The guidance cites the example of an English case where individuals were held to be lacking in integrity, even although they were not found to have been dishonest.
Solvency is the perhaps the least demanding requirement of the three criteria. An individual will simply have to evidence that they have never been the subject of bankruptcy proceedings or similar, nor entered into settlements with their creditors.
Whilst the concept of "fit and proper" will be familiar to fiduciary and licensed entities, the GFSC guidance provides a useful checklist of what licensees and those individuals holding or seeking to hold "prescribed positions" must satisfy in order to comply with the fit and proper standard. The guidance may also be useful for administrators when assessing promoters in connection with fast-track fund and licensing applications under the Protection of Investors (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law, 1987.
From an employer's perspective, it is important to make sure that recruitment and appointment processes are robust enough to ensure that the necessary background information and warranties regarding an individual's satisfaction of the "fit and proper" standard are obtained early in the process.
Timing: when should the GFSC be notified of an issue or concern and how regularly should they be updated?
Content: what should be notified to the GFSC and how much detail needs to be provided?
Form: how should notifications be made to the GFSC and what form should they take?
The new guidance could therefore cause tension between the duties an employer owes to the GFSC as a licenced entity and the duties it owes to its employees. Whilst employers will always wish to ensure that they are fully compliant with any regulatory obligation, they need to be mindful of the need to uphold the implied term of trust and confidence which is a fundamental dimension of the employment relationship – a term which could, arguably, be breached by, for example, an inappropriate or unnecessary notification to the GFSC in respect of an individual's conduct within the workplace.
As a result, the new guidance is likely to bring some challenges for employers who are now on notice of what the GFSC will consider in determining an individual's fitness and propriety. Employers are therefore advised to get legal advice as soon as any circumstance arise where it is felt that an individual's fitness and propriety might fall below the required standard because of conduct either in or outside of the workplace.
Overall, the guidance brings welcome clarification of the GFSC's approach to the issue and one which adopts a prudent but balanced perspective to a matter of critical importance to upholding Guernsey's reputation as a well-regulated financial centre.

Q: wipe div data and hide slider I have been working on a jquery slider which slides out once a record is clicked and then when u click close it slides back off the screen.. the issue i orginally had was if i clicked on the record twice it would try load the same infomation on top of it self and created heaps of errors.. so i found some code which i could use to deelte all the data and then move the slider pane back accross the screen the issue im having is it wipes all the details like i wont but the slider pane doesnt move at all i have only put the javascript code here to see if anyone can tell me what im doing wrong with the code and how to fix it if possible...
    function deleteParentElement(){
         $(this).parent().animate({right:-1000});    // on its own as an onlcick event
attached to the button it works on its own the pane its moving class is called "details"
         $('.student').remove()   //the class defined in here is only the div containing the data
         e.stopPropagation()
    }

this is the button used to trigger the function
<button style="position: absolute; top:40px; right:25px;" href="#" id="bt-close" class="<? echo $Stu_id;?>" onClick="deleteParentElement()">Close</button>

A: You're missing two semicolons and a
$(document).ready(function(){
//the rest of the code
});

... That's probably your problem

Why Is The New York Times Touting Paul Ryan's Fiscal Credibility?
In a New York Times "news analysis" about the debate over health care reform, reporters David Herszenhorn and Robert Pear quote five politicians and one nonpartisan team of budget experts. In doing so, Herszenhorn and Pear included a statement about the credibility of only one of the six sources -- and it wasn't the nonpartisan team of budget experts. It was Wisconsin Republican Paul Ryan.
As floor debate on the repeal measure opened on Tuesday, Representative Paul Ryan, Republican of Wisconsin and chairman of the Budget Committee, who is a respected voice on fiscal issues, declared that the health care law would "accelerate our country's path toward bankruptcy."
Respected by whom? And, more importantly, why? Herszenhorn and Pear didn't say.
Ryan voted for then-President Bush's tax cuts in 2001, then argued for extending them last year. Those tax cuts have had rather significant fiscal consequences. Is Ryan deserving of this praise because, though he fights for tax cuts that lead to massive deficits, he acknowledges (but doesn't do anything about) the fact that not all tax cuts pay for themselves? Ryan supported the Iraq war and voted for Bush's Medicare prescription program, too, both of which contributed significantly to deficits. Ryan produced a budget proposal that would take about 50 years to balance the budget -- except that it wouldn't do so even then, as Ryan told CBO to base its assessment of the budget on the assumption that tax revenues would remain the same, even though the budget included costly tax cuts. Ryan continues to support deficit-increasing policies. And when asked what spending he'd cut specifically, Ryan can't tell you the answer.
So why do Herszenhorn and Pear think Ryan -- and Ryan alone -- is worthy of being declared a "respected voice on fiscal issues"? Is it just because Ryan wants to end Medicare as we know it and privatize Social Security?
Is that what the New York Times thinks justifies singling Ryan out for praise -- his support for budget-busting tax cuts and wars, along with proposals to dismantle the social safety net?
The New York Times should consider the possibility that part of the reason why the nation faces large deficits is that news organizations like the New York Times praise the fiscal responsibility of politicians who support massive increases in the deficit.
Is this the best health care reporting the NYT can do?
You might assume the New York Times -- perhaps the world's most prestigious newspaper -- is capable of producing a news report that would clearly explain the health care reform situation. If today's effort by David Herszenhorn, Robert Pear, and Sheryl Gay Stolberg is any indication, you'd be wrong. The article confuses as much as it clarifies, gives undue weight to Republican attacks, and fails to properly explain the hypocrisy of those attacks.
That's the front page of a Philadelphia newspaper. If the professional journalists who produced that paper think Democrats have lost their majority, are you still sure New York Times readers will understand that "loss of their 60-vote majority" does not mean "loss of their majority"? All of them?
First, this phrasing suggests the entire health care reform package would be passed via reconciliation, which is false. Readers don't learn until four paragraphs later that reconciliation would simply be used to amend some provisions of the health care bill that has already passed the Senate.
Second, "muscle the legislation through Congress with a simple majority" describes majority rule as some sort of strong-arm tactic.
Third, "parliamentary trickery" is a completely bogus description of reconciliation. There's no "trickery" about it whatsoever. If the Times wanted to preview Republican attacks in a straightforward way, they could have cast the use of reconciliation as "unusual" rather than "trickery." More to the point: Those Republican complaints will ring hollow, given that the GOP has used reconciliation to pass legislation when it controlled the Senate. Thirteen paragraphs later the Times article finally gets around to noting in passing that Republicans "occasionally used the tactic when they were in the majority." That's woefully inadequate, as it fails to make clear the GOP used the tactic to pass hugely significant and contentious measures like budget-busting tax cuts and opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil drilling.
Republicans, however, have made clear that they will portray Mr. Obama and Democrats as trying to use a hardball tactic to win passage of the health care legislation.
"Less than a week after the Massachusetts special election, the Obama administration is vowing to 'stay the course' and double down on the same costly, job-killing policies that are leaving America's middle-class families and small businesses high and dry," said the House Republican leader, Representative John A. Boehner of Ohio.
Though the Times quoted Boehner criticizing the substance of health care reform, it omitted any quote or paraphrase of any Democrat or other reform advocate praising reform, or criticizing Republican obstruction.
In the meantime, aides have been trying to devise a process by which the Senate could make changes to its health bill on a reconciliation measure even before the House voted on the Senate-passed health bill. Some lawmakers said House Democrats might have to vote first.
The Times did not indicate whether "some lawmakers" said that because there are procedural reasons why the House has to go first, or because there are political reasons why they want the House to go first. The Times reporters give no indication that they realize there is a pretty big difference between those things.
If this is the best the Times can do, it's no wonder the public has had such a poor understanding of health care reform.
Why is the New York Times helping Joe Lieberman lie about health care?
Mr. Lieberman described what it would take to get his vote. "You've got to take out the Medicare buy-in," he said. "You've got to forget about the public option. You probably have to take out the Class Act, which was a whole new entitlement program that will, in future years, put us further into deficit."
The Class Act refers to a federal insurance program for long-term care, known as Community Living Assistance Services and Supports.
Mr. Lieberman said he would have "a hard time" voting for bill with the Medicare buy-in.
"It has some of the same infirmities that the public option did," Mr. Lieberman said. "It will add taxpayer costs. It will add to the deficit. It's unnecessary. The basic bill, which has a lot of good things in it, provides a generous new system of subsidies for people between ages 55 and 65, and choice and competition."
But adding to the deficit is not an "infirmity" of the public option. The public option would, according to the Congressional Budget Office, reduce the deficit.
The bill would expand health benefits by broadly expanding Medicaid, the federal-state insurance program for low-income people, and by providing subsidies to help moderate-income people buy either private insurance or coverage under a new government-run plan, the public option. And it would impose a requirement that nearly all Americans obtain insurance or pay monetary penalties for failing to do so.
According to the Congressional Budget Office, the cost of the legislation would be more than offset by new taxes and fees and reductions in government spending, so that the bill would reduce future federal budget deficits by $130 billion through 2019.
So, New York Times reporters Robert Pear and David Herszenhorn know that, according to the Congressional Budget Office, Joe Lieberman simply isn't telling the truth. But they won't tell their readers that. Instead, they type up what he says and pass it along, as though it is true.
When someone knowingly passes along falsehoods from government officials as though they are true, isn't that the essence of propaganda?
In reporting that CBO concluded that a Senate draft health care reform bill would leave many uninsured, neither The New York Times nor ABC's Jake Tapper noted that the CBO director stated in a letter accompanying the CBO report that the "figures do not represent a formal or complete cost estimate for the draft legislation."
The New York Times reported that the American Medical Association opposes President Obama's proposal for a new public health insurance plan, without noting the AMA's inconsistency on the public option or that the AMA doesn't represent most doctors.

Yet Another Stunning Revelation About The True Origin Of COVID-19
By: Col. Lawrence Sellin (Ret.) | CCNS
In 2013, Zheng-Li Shi, the "bat woman," and her team from the Wuhan Institute of Virology were asked to investigate the virus profile of a mine shaft in Yunnan Province after six miners contracted pneumonia with symptoms similar to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).
After sampling the mine shaft for a year, the researchers identified a diverse group of bat coronaviruses, one of which was designated RaBtCoV/4991 (GenBank KP876546) and partially sequenced as a 440-base pair fragment targeting the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase gene (RdRp).
Despite being unique enough to be considered a new strain and associated with a human SARS-like outbreak as a Potential Pandemic Pathogen, thereafter, RaBtCoV/4991 disappeared from the scientific literature.
That is, until 2020.
The COVID-19 pandemic triggered an intensive search for the origin of the coronavirus responsible, SARS-CoV-2.
In the February 3, 2020 Nature article, scientists from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, led by Zheng-Li Shi, stated that the coronavirus RaTG13, isolated from bats in Yunnan Province, China, showed a 96.2% sequence identity with SARS-CoV-2 and, therefore, "RaTG13 is the closest relative" forming a distinct lineage from other coronaviruses and supporting China's claim that SARS-CoV-2 is naturally-occurring.
A month later, on March 17, 2020, the article "The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2," widely-cited by scientists and the media, supported the conclusion that RaTG13 is SARS-CoV-2's closest relative, which likely "jumped" from animals to humans in the Wuhan Seafood Market.
It is important to note that, Ian Lipkin, one of the authors of "The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2," the article supporting China's claim that SARS-CoV-2 is naturally occurring, received a medal from the Chinese government in January 2020.
It did not take long for doubts to appear about the validity of the RaTG13 argument or even its existence. We have now learned that RaTG13 existed only on paper. RaTG13 and RaBtCoV/4991 are the same virus.
The entire RaTG13 genome was first uploaded to the National Institutes of Health GenBank on January 27, 2020, and updated on March 24, 2020. In those filings, there is no mention of RaBtCoV/4991.
Yet, in a Chinese virus database, dated March 7, 2020, in the source code, RaTG13 and RaBtCoV/4991 are listed as being the same virus. It means that China knew early on that RaTG13 was not a unique coronavirus, but merely a duplicate of RaBtCoV/4991 and kept that important fact secret.
China has long implied that RaTG13 was only discovered in 2020 after the onset of the pandemic via a search of its coronavirus database.
That claim was echoed by Peter Daszak, President of the EcoHealth Alliance and long-time collaborator of the Wuhan Institute of Virology:
"We found the closest relative to the current SARS-CoV-2 in a bat in China in 2013. We sequenced a bit of the genome, and then it went in the freezer; because it didn't look like SARS."
Now comes yet another stunning revelation. It was not in the freezer.
According to new information, Chinese scientists experimented with RaTG13 during 2017 and 2018.
The evidence clearly shows that not only did China lie in a major way about the origin of COVID-19, but that it is, without question, due to a man-made virus.
China lied, people died.

Voodoo Inspired – Bwa Kayiman, Revolution and Haitian Independence
Events at Bwa Kayiman interpreted in metal
A couple of months ago when we were in Haiti, Casey and I saw some intricate and complex sculptural renditions of what we were told represented events at Bwa Kayiman. Though very different from each other, each piece had constant elements of composition: a tree, a man and a woman, bottles, snakes, and various anthropomorphic figures. But what did they signify? We sensed a good story…
Deep in the forest, in the Morne Rouge region southwest of the colonial capital of Cap Haitien is the sacred and historic cradle of the slave uprising that lead to revolution against the French and ultimately to the establishment of first free black republic in the New World. That place was known in French as Bois Cayman, Bwa Kayiman in Kreyol.
According to legend, a maroon, or fugitive slave by the name of Dutty Boukman organized a meeting of 200-300 slaves at Bwa Kayiman in August of 1791. Boukman was a Voodoo
priest, and assisted by a priestess, Cecile Fatiman, the two performed a ceremony under a raging thunderous sky, invoking Erzulie Dantor and requesting
Etching of Dutty Boukman, a fugitive slave whose last name represented the fact that he was educated and knew how to read.
her help in freeing the black slaves of Saint Domingue. A black pig was sacrificed, and its blood was drunk, lending the slaves a mystical sense of invincibility and emboldening them to unite in revolt against their French oppressors. (A concise, informative clip about the events at Bwa Kayiman can be viewed here by clicking here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WZiXpdaGF8 )
In the days that followed, the slaves organized themselves and began putting plantations to the torch and the slave owners to the sword. Larger than life heroes began to emerge, such as Toussaint Louverture and Jean-Jacques Dessalines. Hugely outnumbered and defenses in disarray, the colonial government of Saint Domingue was eventually forced to capitulate. On January 1, 1804 the free Republic of Haiti was born.
Today Bwa Kayiman is a protected National Historic site. Haitians visit throughout the year, as well as attend events commemorating the slave revolt each August. Independence Day is marked along with the New Year on January 1st with music, dancing, fireworks, and eating lots of soup joumou – a hearty pumpkin soup that was a luxury reserved for the French and forbidden to slaves during colonial times. Eating the soup on New Year's Day represents communion and brotherhood, peace and freedom. Click here for the recipe:
http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=98211 To our friends, in Haiti and beyond, we wish you peace and freedom. Bonne Ane – Happy New Year!

Canada marks Earth Hour 2016
Climate change is a hot topic around the world. In Canada, nationals proudly demonstrated their affinity with the country's spectacular landscape and environment by participating in Earth Hour earlier this month.
Earth Hour is a global event that aims to promote a positive message about protecting our planet and the incredible habitats and creatures that call it home. By switching off the lights for just 60 minutes, you can show your solidarity and have a positive impact on the future of climate change. For Canada, where several national landmarks attract hordes of sightseers to take holidays to Canada every year, caring for these natural beauty spots is a key priority.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau led the country's support of Earth Hour, calling on his fellow citizens to plunge Canada into darkness and get behind the organisation's important message about climate change.
In a tweet on Saturday March 19th, Trudeau wrote:
Celebrate @EarthHour! Shut off your lights tonight at 8:30 – then work and live to #ChangeClimateChange every single day.
— Justin Trudeau (@JustinTrudeau) March 19, 2016
He later went on to suggest that the federal budget, announced the following week, would accommodate climate change action, adding:
"We're all on this planet together. Tweeting about Earth Hour is one thing. Tuesday, we'll put words into action with a budget that builds a clean economy for Canada."
With the Prime Minister expressing Canada's concern for the environment, it's easy to see that the country has a lot to protect. In 2007, Canadian network CBC Television's show The National held a competition asking viewers to vote for their top seven wonders of Canada.
Naturally, the likes of world-famous sites like Niagara Falls, The Canadian Rockies, Nahanni National Park, Bay of Fundy and Cabot Trail made the list – as chosen by the Canadian people! With so many popular beauty spots to choose, which other landmarks feature in the top seven?
The unusual Sleeping Giant won the hearts of the nation, claiming first place in the race. This characterful land formation resembles (you guessed it…) a giant and has been an admired fixture of Sibley Peninsula in Ontario for generations. Measuring up to 250 metres high, legend has it that the giant is actually Nanabijou – a mythological figure of the indigenous North American Ojibwa community. Today, the Sleeping Giant lies on his back forming the steep cliffs in the namesake Sleeping Giant Provincial Park.
From earth to sky, the Northern Lights also find their way into Canada's favourite natural phenomena. The Aurora Borealis, a naturally occurring light display in the heavens, astounds spectators around the world and it seems the Canadian people feel the same way. With the nation's northern provinces reaching far into the Arctic Circle, Canada is an ideal destination to see the light show for yourself. Fort McMurray in Alberta is particularly well situated to soak up this once-in-a-lifetime view, and on a side note, the location's Vista Ridge ski area is ideal for skiing in Canada.

Q: CREATE Excel File with hyperlinks in PHP I have the following method to create an Excel file from in PHP starting with a two-dimensional array:
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=ExcelFile.xls");
header("Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel");

$Data[] = array('field1', 'field2', 'field3');
$Data[] = array('field1', 'field2', 'field3');
$Data[] = array('field1', 'field2', 'field3');

foreach($Data as $key => $val) {
    echo implode("\t", array_values($val)) . "\n";
}

Would it be possible to include a hyperlink to a webpage in this file?

A: For any kind of useful cell manipulation besides the basic .csv output approach, you might want to consider PHP COM.
Here's a very rough example that borrows heavily from this link just to give you the gist of what it'll look like:
//create instance of excel on the server
$excel = new COM("excel.application") or die("Unable to create excel object");

//add a book and a worksheet and activate the worksheet
$workbook = $excel->Workbooks->Add();
$worksheet=$workbook->Worksheets(1);
