Explainer: Why Venezuela's refugee exodus to the U.S. has been accelerating
By Sarah Kinosian
and Vivian Sequera
Oct 18 (Reuters) - U.S. and Mexican authorities recently announced a new policy that would expel Venezuelans entering the U.S. land border back to Mexico, but allow up to 24,000 people from the country to apply for humanitarian entry into the United States by air.
As a result of the new policy, thousands of Venezuelans believed to be en route to the United States are now stranded between the two countries during a year when Venezuelans are arriving at the U.S. border in record numbers.
WHY WERE THE NEW MEASURES PUT IN PLACE?
The measures respond in part to political pressure on U.S. President Joe Biden to curb record numbers of illegal crossings at the Mexico-U.S. border. Venezuelans have been one of the largest groups of migrants involved in such crossings, in part because Washington granted temporary protection status last year to those who were on U.S. soil. Deporting Venezuelans is also more complicated than with migrants of other nationalities because the two countries broke diplomatic relations in 2019, making it difficult to organize deportation flights.
More than 150,000 Venezuelans were apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border between October 2021 and August 2022, compared with nearly 48,000 in fiscal-year 2021, according to U.S. government data. In September, over 33,000 Venezuelan individuals were encountered at the U.S.-Mexico border - more than the number of unique crossers from Mexico and more than immigrants from Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras combined, according to U.S. government data.
WHAT HAPPENS NOW TO VENEZUELANS IN TRANSIT TO THE UNITED STATES?
Those in transit may attempt to reach the United States despite the near certainty that they will be sent back to Mexico. Mexican authorities so far have given many of these individuals a deadline of no more than two weeks to leave the country. It is unclear where Venezuelans waiting in Mexico will stay, as Mexico's migrant shelter system is often overwhelmed.
Some may return to Venezuela, while others could settle down in different Latin American countries, where Venezuelan migrants have in some cases faced discrimination, limited job opportunities and restrictions on their migratory status.
Half of the Venezuelan refugee and migrant population across Latin America and the Caribbean cannot afford three meals a day and lacks access to housing, according to the International Organization for Migration (IOM), forcing many to resort to sex work or begging.
WHO CAN APPLY FOR THE NEW U.S. PROGRAM?
Venezuelans who meet the U.S. requirements may apply for the recently announced U.S. program. Among the requirements is having a U.S.-based supporter and holding a valid passport. The cost of a passport in Venezuela is $200, nearly ten times the country's minimum wage.

Only 1% of 1,591 migrants who left Venezuela between June and August held a passport, according to the Observatory of Social Investigations, a rights group.
WHAT TRIGGERED THE VENEZUELAN EXODUS?
Under late President Hugo Chavez, who died in 2013, the country with the world's largest oil reserves weathered corruption and inflation.
Then in 2014, Venezuela's economy buckled as global oil prices tumbled, and living conditions further deteriorated as stringent price controls created widespread shortages. Products began to disappear from store shelves while black markets thrived with goods ranging from cooking oil to corn flour.
In 2018, inflation in Venezuela exceeded 1 million percent. Medicines for conditions from headaches to cancer were unavailable.
WHY ARE VENEZUELANS STILL MIGRATING?
Despite some improvements following a 2019 opening of the economy that included an informal dollarization, most Venezuelans still struggle to afford basic goods and services. Efforts by the government of Chavez's successor, Nicolas Maduro, to ease economic restrictions have alleviated shortages and fueled consumption in high-income brackets, but left the vast majority of the population making wages that fall well short of the cost of living.
The monthly minimum wage in the OPEC-member nation is around $15 while the price of a basket of goods covering the monthly needs of a family of five was around $370 at the end of September, according to the nongovernmental Venezuelan Finance Observatory.
Even in the commerce and services sector of relatively wealthy Caracas, employees make an average of only around $130 a month. Meanwhile in the public sector, which employs some 2.2 million, the average monthly salary is about $20 to $30.
Economists say at least 30% of the population has not benefited from the new economic measures.
Remittances to Venezuelans from relatives in the United States or elsewhere help but are insufficient for most. Just one-fourth of Venezuelan families receive remittances, averaging only $70 a month, according to Caracas-based consultancy Anova.

And So Ends My Best Year Ever
By Sean Kleefeld | Monday, December 31, 2012 1 comment
I'm generally not a big fan of reminiscing, but 2012 was an absolutely incredible year for me. I wanted to take just a moment to reflect on some of the highlights.
The first win of the year came through my day job. We had a major project launch that, through no fault of anyone on my team, got repeatedly delayed. So much so that it it ran up against my boss' planned-in-advance-but-with-a-huge-safety-margin vacation. So I was able to step up and assume her role for this major launch (which, from our end, went off without a hitch) and generated a bit of nice corporate PR for myself. I'm certainly not one of those climb-the-corporate-zigguart guys, but it's still cool to prove to a bunch of co-workers that you can still be successful outside your typical comfort zone.
Speaking of stepping outside my typical comfort zone, I ran my first marathon in May. My first race of any kind, really. It's made all the more powerful by the fact that I was never particularly athletic growing up, favoring more intellectual pursuits. It really feels like I accomplished something that should have been impossible for me, and I can't tell you just how powerful that makes me feel. "I have done the impossible, and that makes me mighty."
Although I hadn't really planned on doing so, I followed that race with a 5K on Thanksgiving. Without really attempting to do so, I managed fourth place among my age group.
I appeared in The Avengers. Granted, it's for less than a full second and you can only see my back, but it's still pretty cool to have been a part of that. I was kneeling six or seven feet away from Tom Hiddleston and got to see him act from a closer vantage point than most anyone else ever. I have no intention of becoming a regular movie extra, but it was a great experience, especially in lieu of the movie being so well-done and well-received.
I'm making a variety of cameos in comics as well. David Gallaher has a character named after me in The Only Living Boy, I'm getting named checked by Erik Evensen in The Beast of Wolfe's Bay, and Humberto Ramos is drawing me into the second volume of Fairy Quest. Kind of silly since it really hasn't required any real effort on my part, but still fun. Although, I now have some really bizarre continuity to sort out.
This is also the year that I got my finances straightened out. My divorce from a few years ago left me saddled with a good chunk of debt, and I managed to pay that off this year. Despite having the unexpected expense of having to get a new car in 2009 when my old one got struck by lightning. I also managed to pay off that car this year, too, leaving my only debt of any sort being my mortgage. I'm sure I don't have to tell many of you what a HUGE burden that is off my shoulders now!
I had several of my essays published in Bart Beaty's Critical Survey of Graphic Novels: Independents & Underground Classics. Definitely a nice, little professional cred and some personal satisfaction in that one of the graphic novels I wrote an essay on is featured on the front cover.
You know that really cool Mars rover called Curiosity? It landed on the red planet to much fanfare back in August. My name's embedded on one it's microchips. There's a record of me on another planet! That's just cool!
Also falling in the "that's just cool" category: my column for MTV is still going strong. I mean, really? MTV? How much time did I spend watching MTV in my youth? It's totally not the same company that it was when I was a kid, but A) it still holds some measure of arbiter of cool clout, and B) I actually am more impressed by the breadth of coverage they have now.
And of course, the really big deal for me this year has been putting my house in Ohio up for sale and prepping to move to the Chicago area to be with my lady; we're finally starting our life together. That it puts me in that much more of a central location for the comics business is just icing on the cake! (Oh, hey, I just realized I might be able to attend CAKE next year!)
Like I said, a lot of this stuff was of little consequence and/or really had nothing to do with me directly. But on top of some of the big personal wins, it's made for a fantastic year! And, as I'm always shooting for an upward trajectory, I'm eager to see what I can get done in 2013!

Businesses urge Sunak to delay 'ill-timed and illogical' £12bn NI rise
Posted on March 1, 2022 Author Comments Off on Businesses urge Sunak to delay 'ill-timed and illogical' £12bn NI rise
Rishi Sunak is facing renewed pressure from business leaders to delay a planned £12bn rise in national insurance, amid warnings over soaring costs for companies and households as the Russian invasion of Ukraine drives up inflation.
The manufacturing trade body Make UK, which represents 20,000 firms of all sizes across the country, said the tax hike planned for April should be pushed back until the UK economy is in a stronger position. It warned the government that pressing ahead would risk firms slamming the brakes on recruitment and putting the economic recovery from Covid at risk.
With concerns mounting over the fallout from Vladimir Putin ordering his troops into Ukraine last week, the business lobby group said now was not the time to add further self-imposed costs on companies.
"The proposed increase remains illogical and will be even more ill-timed given how circumstances have rapidly changed since it was announced," said Stephen Phipson, the chief executive of Make UK.
"The cost burden on business is continuing to escalate and, while some of these increases are due to global events, government must avoid adding shooting business in the foot by an entirely self-imposed decision."
According to a survey of almost 300 manufacturing firms by Make UK, as many as three in five said the tax rise would have a moderate or significant impact on their hiring intentions. Almost three-quarters said they would pass on, or would be very likely to pass on, the rise in their costs to customers in the form of higher prices for their products and services.
It comes as the fighting in Ukraine drives up global energy prices, and as the conflict and western economic sanctions unleashed in response lead to tensions over the supply of Russian gas to Europe. Following a sharp rise in wholesale gas markets last week, economists said UK inflation could rise from the current rate of 5.5% to peak above 8% within months – the highest level for three decades.
Boris Johnson had attempted to draw a line under demands to delay or scrap the planned tax rise, arguing in a joint letter with Sunak that the policy was the right way to deal with NHS Covid backlogs and reforms to social care.
With the prime minister criticised over the "partygate" affair, senior Conservatives had urged him to tear up the plan for a 1.25 percentage point increase in national insurance contributions for both workers and employers announced last September.
However, the tax-raising plan has led to broader unrest in company boardrooms, when taken together with other steps to raise the UK's tax burden to the highest sustained levels in 70 years.
In an intervention ahead of Sunak's spring economic forecast later this month, the Confederation of British Industry urged the chancellor to set out a range of tax cuts and spending commitments to offset the impact on firms.
The CBI said a permanent investment deduction was necessary to help companies boost the amount they spend on productivity-enhancing technologies, machinery and buildings by £40bn a year by 2026. It said firms should be offered a 100% tax deduction against such investments from April 2023, offsetting an increase in the headline rate of corporation tax from 19% to 25% in the same month.
Tony Danker, the director general of the CBI, said: "You've come out of the blocks with a pretty damaging measure, which is that increase in corporation tax. So I think it is incumbent upon government now to compensate for that."
The CBI said firms needed measures to encourage them to spend, after a period of weak business investment since the Brexit vote and during the Covid-19 pandemic. The lobby group estimates that £100bn could be added to the Treasury's coffers by 2030 if the UK bucks current predictions and achieves a more ambitious 2.5% average growth rate for GDP over the remainder of the decade.
"Faced with a record tax burden, a cost-of-living crisis, wage pressures and the end of the super-deduction, firms will be looking to the spring statement for a clear signal that the government's ambition will be matched by action," Danker added.

Cape Town - Five-time European Tour winner Mikko Ilonen has announced his retirement after a 18-year playing career.
The 39-year-old, who is the most successful golfer ever to come out of Finland, made the decision in order to spend more time with his family.
Ilonen reached a career-high of 37th in the world in 2014 when he won twice on the European Tour and finished seventh in the PGA Championship.
The Finn said he still hoped to have a future in the sport in some capacity, while also committing to growing the game in his home country.
"I am convinced that my retirement is not an end to one thing, but instead the beginning of something new and exciting," said Ilonen.
"As a professional golfer, or as an athlete, you sometimes have to be very selfish. I have been selfish for twenty years now and I think it is about time for me to care about others as they have cared for me.
"I made a conscious decision to not involve golf in my off-season after the World Cup of Golf last November.
"Instead, I have focused on my family and my own wellbeing. I have used the time well, which means that I have enjoyed the winter and I have done some of the things I used to do as a kid, such as skiing and snowboarding.
"The quality time I have had with my wife and two kids has meant so much to me and I have realised that I don't want to prioritise other obligations ahead of my family.
"I am very grateful for what golf has given me, but now I want to focus on giving back to those that have supported me and to golf in general.
"My passion is golf and I am determined to find a way of supporting golf in general and Finnish junior golfers in particular.
"I am really looking forward to what the future has in its hands and I hope that I can inspire young boys and girls in Finland and abroad to reach their goals in golf and in life.

Whitney East Inc.
Big Enough to Get the Job Done, Small Enough to Care
One of the biggest complaints that businesses and homeowners may have is that when a building project is underway there is difficulty reaching the general contractor to get an actual status update on the construction progress. Joe Condidorio, owner and president of Whitney East Inc. (WEI), is extremely proud of the fact that he has deliberately kept his commercial and residential general construction and construction management company small, so that each one of his clients receives the personal attention that they deserve.
Condidorio co-founded the Rochester, N.Y.-based company in 1986 with a business partner he later bought out, and Condidorio says that the company's niche is being a true general contractor able to successfully complete any medium to large project on time and within budget. This is done through an understanding that scheduling is critical, all trades must be comprehensively trained and coordinated, and effective communication is imperative to avoid wasting time and materials.
WEI offers its clients the full range of general contracting services, including preconstruction, project management, historical renovations, plus commercial, residential and light industrial new construction. Establishing an excellent rapport with architects and clients, acting as a liaison between customers and subcontractors, and motivating its work force to achieve the best possible results, WEI has had the opportunity to apply its skills in expert coordination to a variety of showcase projects. "In the past couple of years, we've worked on projects as diverse as two wastewater plants, a historical renovation and a water park," reveals Condidorio.
Award-winning Work
WEI employs nine and Condidorio estimates that the company annually grosses over $5 million in sales. WEI's crew of comprehensively trained, highly motivated employees can typically be found on projects within a 150-mile radius of the company's corporate headquarters, and the company's high-quality work has attracted the notice of his peers in recent years. In 2008 WEI was awarded a Merit Award from the American Institute of Architects (AIA), and an award in 2007 for the Best New Retail Construction for the Bank of Castile Greece branch office building from the Greece Chamber of Commerce.
The company received a large amount of local press in 2009 for its work on the Ann's House Dorm at Alfred University in Alfred, N.Y., where WEI applied its ability to analyze complex projects to achieve optimized results. The dorm was intended to achieve at least a LEED Silver certification, and the campus officials were extremely pleased when the dorm ultimately received a LEED Gold certification, as well as an AIA 2011 Citation Award.
Condidorio admits that the ground-up project posed a bit of a challenge to WEI's crew. "The dormitory is located on a hill and required an extensive site package, on a slope, full of trees," reveals Condidorio. However, this did not impact WEI's adherence to assessing the needs of the projects, identifying and mobilizing the necessary resources, establishing priorities and goals, and, finally, closely monitoring schedules and costs.
The 15,000-square foot dormitory has a number of green features, including energy-efficient LED and fluorescent fixtures that light the 48 student bedrooms, hallways, lounges and stair towers, LED televisions, high-efficiency boilers and instant hot water heaters, natural stone and cement composite siding and low VOC (volatile organic compound) materials used for flooring, paints and building materials. The building is equipped with solar panels to provide approximately eight percent of the electrical demand during daylight hours.
Dr. Charles M. Edmondson, Alfred University's president, was quoted as saying the following in regards to the project: "[Ann's House] will help Alfred University significantly save on energy and maintenance costs. The widespread use of LED lighting around our campus is certainly something we're looking at as we continue to find new ways to reduce our carbon footprint."
WEI Demonstrates Versatility
WEI just recently completed a project that reinforces the company's reputation for its ability to complete a wide range of projects. The company built the region's first indoor water park for the Clarion Hotel in Batavia, N.Y. The $2 million, 12,000-square foot park features two water slides about 200 feet long each, with one even featuring multi-colored LED lights. A basketball hoop, areas to lounge with shallow areas for young kids, and an arcade room and areas for birthday parties were also included to round out the park's appeal to area families.
Chan Patel, the building's owner, was quoted as saying that when it's zero degrees outside it will always be 85 degrees inside, making it perfect for people in the Rochester/Buffalo area. "In this economy people cannot afford to take a big vacation, so this is like a staycation for them. It's like a smaller vacation, where they're not spending too much money, but can enjoy the Palm Island Resort," Patel has said. WEI's hands-on approach, its day-to-day participation, and its strengths in realistic estimating and thorough administration and communication successfully contributed another project that strengthens the community as a whole, a tradition that will be furthered by the efforts of Condidorio's one son, who is active in the company.
In today's hurried world we're used to dealing with automated voice systems, large faceless corporations and impersonal encounters. The Condidorios and the extended family of Whitney East Inc. are thriving in part because of the quality of their award-winning work, but also because their clients know that they are dealing with a company that truly cares about their project and will give it the personal attention that it deserves.

It's been a year since talented juggler and skateboarder Ashton Launcherley lost his life after setting fire to himself on the Glastonbury Festival site.
The tragedy struck as workers and performers on Worthy Farm put together last minute preparations for the festival on June 21, 2016.
An inquest into his death heard that Ashton had been plagued by voices commanding him to kill himself and had doused himself in petrol and set fire to himself.
Despite the efforts of people on the festival site and the emergency services, he suffered 95 per cent burns, and was taken to the Queen Elizabeth hospital in Birmingham.
He suffered multiple-organ failure and died a short time afterwards.
While the circumstances surrounding his death were tragic, Ashton was a young man who lived his life to the full.
He studied at circus school Circomedia in Bristol and once dreamed of being the best juggler in the world.
His father Pete taught him how to juggle when he was 12 and he used to practice in the garden with his older brother Eric.
While living in Bristol, he gave displays in the city and went to schools to teach children how to juggle, as well as performing at festivals.
He had travelled to, and trained with, some of the best circus schools in Europe and had travelled extensively, visiting India, Bordeaux, Berlin and Morocco.
Speaking a few years before his death, he said he was aiming to become "the best juggler that I can be. Juggling is a really small world, but I know I can be the best."
He was also a prominent figure in the skating scene and after his death a memorial jam in his memory was held in Bristol.
Meanwhile, kind-hearted people raised nearly £4,000 to support his family and help cover the costs of his funeral. The site was flooded with messages from people remembering the young man who had touched so many lives.
His cousin, Joe Gilpin wrote: "So many wonderful memories of a vastly talented, humble man, who showed the rest of us what it really meant to be alive."
While his friend, Dan Murphy, described him as: "One of Bristol's finest," and a "welcoming and cool dude."
His friend, Richard Smith also released a touching video of Ashton, showing footage of a talented young man hanging out with his friends and showing off his skateboard moves.
Rest in peace, Ashton - the world is a little less colourful without you in it, and our thoughts are with your family and friends at this time.
Most people who are thinking of taking their own life have shown warning signs beforehand. These can include becoming depressed, showing sudden changes in behaviour, talking about wanting to die and feelings of hopelessness. These feelings do improve and can be treated.


I'M SO PROUD! My baby sister, Michelle, graduated with her Masters in Recreation from the college of Education, and Stefan, her fiancée, graduated with a Masters in Mechanical Engineering. 6 years and they are done done done! After their graduation, they packed up the Uhaul and left Moscow to live in my Kent Condo until after their wedding. Stefan got a job with Boeing working as a mechanical engineer and Michelle is currently planning their wedding (June 25th) and job seeking in the south Seattle area. Congratulations you two!!!
Michelle walking to her seat!
Michelle and Stefan walking off campus together.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! It looked like an amazing day!!
Moscow, ID? My friend, Brooke, taught badminton there...she is a Canadian champ, and her hubby (Lowry is the last name) is a Professor of Engineering (specifically transportation). Any chance they'd know each other?
Alisa - While Moscow is super small, I don't think we know these people... :( I just checked online and it says that Dr. Lowry works in the civil engineering dept. Stefan worked in the mechanical engineering dept so thats why he doesn't know him. And for Brooke, I don't think I know her either. I worked at the rec center for 3 years, but all the PE instructors work out of the PEB building. :( Thanks for asking!

Per the definition of official misconduct under the city charter, "Official misconduct means any wrongful behavior by a public officer in relation to the duties of his or her office, willful in its character, including any failure, refusal or neglect of an officer to perform any duty enjoined on him or her by law, or conduct that falls below the standard of decency, good faith and right action impliedly required of all public officers and including any violation of a specific conflict of interest or governmental ethics law. When any City law provides that a violation of the law constitutes or is deemed official misconduct, the conduct is covered by this definition and may subject the person to discipline and/or removal from office."

The Privacy Implications of Facial Recognition Technology
According to How Facial Recognition Systems Work by by Kevin Bonsor and Ryan Johnson, facial recognition technology – in a nutshell – is based on the ability to recognize a face and then measure the various features of the face. Every face has numerous, distinguishable facial features, such as the distance between the eyes; width of the nose; depth of the eye sockets; the shape of the cheekbones; and the length of the jaw line. These features create a numerical code, called a two-dimensional faceprint, representing the face in the database. A newly-emerging trend in facial recognition technology uses a three-dimensional model.

The Baker report on Iraq has been placed in the public domain. There are many sources which are starting to undermine its findings, and Bush and Rice are making distancing comments here and there. Amongst other things, the report has suggested that there should be dialogue with Syria and Iran, which has seemed to me to be a sound idea from the beginning.
The White House are refusing to talk to Iran unless they stop their nuclear programme - which we all know is not going to happen. What seems blindingly obvious to me is that if the West had engaged with Iran without preconditions we might be a lot nearer to peace than we are now, and if we could bite the bullet, sink our pride or whatever, and talk to the Iranians, surely the results could be worthwhile. Neither Syria nor Iran has any interest in continued instability in Iraq. To link any discussion with a cessation of the Iranian nuclear programme is counterproductive - a tactic from the Cold War which is pretty much discredited.
The new Defence Secretary has admitted that the war in Iraq is not being won, and that a whole new approach is necessary. There is much manoeuvring towards withdrawal of troops.
What has seemed obvious to me for some time, in purely practical terms, is that if we had not made this foolish commitment to Iraq when we did, we would have had sufficient troops (not to mention UN support) to fulfil our promises to Afghanistan from the outset - instead of which the situation in that sad country has got considerably worse than when we first went in, and we have manifestly failed to meet the commitments to nation-building which we made at that time. The efforts and resources which are required now to carry out those promises are hugely more than would have been needed at the time, before the Iraq diversion, and the resources are simply unavailable.
It is a simple matter for Blair to promise that whatever the troops need to do the job they shall have. Because to do the job with the resources they have needs time - about 50 years. You shorten the time by increasing the resources - which means more troops which we haven't got, and more hardware which we can't afford. Why can't we afford it? Because of Iraq.
Of course, messrs. Bush and Blair say that no matter what our originally declared reasons for invading Iraq, deposing Saddam was sufficient justification for the invasion.
But consider this: Under Saddam, services were reasonably efficient, and average life expectancy averaged about 68, even in the face of blanket and corrupt sanction policies.
In Zimbabwe, on the other hand, there are no services. Life expectancy for women is 34 and for men 37, although the majority of men are leaving the country. A pack of 20 tampons costs two weeks wages at the minimum wage level (as a result of 1000% inflation) - which, with the consequent risk of infection and prevalence of HIV, could reduce this average life expectancy to 20. The number of people who are dying in Zimbabwe as a direct result of the state of the economy is three times as great as was the death toll under Saddam Hussein.
I am not suggesting that Saddam was a good man - he was a monster. But how could supposedly intelligent national leaders have made such an appalling series of mistakes and wrong priorities.
Without Iraq, we could have made a real and beneficial impact on Afghanistan and against the Taliban, and now we may be too late.
Without Iraq, we might have been able to pay more attention to Zimbabwe - and done what? I don't know - but something.
Tim!! Why have you turned pink? Thank you for not giving up on me. Great reading, as always. How are things?
Hey Buddy. I am around. How are you?

Colorado's current minimum wage rate is $11.10.
For more information on Colorado's minimum wage laws, visit our Colorado Minimum Wage Laws page, which includes topics such as minimum wage, tip minimum wage, tip sharing and pooling, and subminimum wages.
Colorado labor laws require employers to pay employees overtime at a rate of 1½ time their regular rate when they work more than 40 hours in a workweek, more than 12 hours in a workday, or 12 consecutive hours without regard to the workday. Colorado requires employers to pay employees overtime, unless an exemption applies, at CO Minimum Wage Order 30. Federal overtime laws may also apply. For federally-defined exemptions and other federal overtime laws see FLSA: Overtime.
Colorado labor laws require employers doing business in the retail and service, food and beverage, commercial support services, or health and medical industries, to provide their employees with a meal period of no less than thirty (30) minutes when they work more than five (5) consecutive hours. The employee must be relieved of all duties during the entire thirty-minute meal period. This "duty-free" meal period may be unpaid. When it is not practical because of the nature of an employee's job to permit a "duty-free" meal period, the employee must be permit to consume an "on-duty" meal and must be compensated for the break time. CO DOL Advisory Bulletins and Resource Guide.
Colorado employers in the retail and service, food and beverage, commercial support services, or health and medical industries, must provide employees with a ten (10) minute, paid break for every four (4) hours worked or major fraction thereof. The break should be in the middle of the shift, if practical. CO DOL Advisory Bulletins and Resource Guide.
Colorado does not have any meal or break requirements for employers in industries other than retail and service, food and beverage, commercial support services, and health and medical, thus the federal rules apply. The federal rule does not require an employer to provide either a meal (lunch) period or breaks. However, if an employer chooses to do so, breaks, usually of the type lasting less than twenty (20) minutes, must be paid. Meal or lunch periods (usually thirty (30) minutes or more) do not need to be paid, so long as the employee is free to do as they wish during the meal or lunch period. DOL: Breaks and Meal Periods.

UK Coffee Week 2018 runs from 16 to 22 April, and this year is set to be the largest to date.
The nationwide celebration of the United Kingdom's thriving coffee industry aims to raise money to bring clean water and sanitation to coffee growing communities around the world.
Leaders from across the industry have signed up to UK Coffee Week, including Caffé Nero, who is donating 20p (about A$0.35) for every single flat white sold during UK Coffee Week as part of a collaboration between Project Waterfall and the Nero Foundation. Costa Coffee will donate 20p from every Character Roast, a Peruvian Single Origin coffee, across its stores in partnership with Costa Foundation Schools.
Other participants include Cafe2U, Elior, Esquires, Debenhams, Muffin Break, Insomnia Coffee, Ground Espresso Bars, Crepe Affaire, SOHO Coffee, Second Cup, Beales, Abokado, Le Pain Quotidien, Harris + Hoole and hundreds of independent coffee shops across the UK.
A host of activities will be taking place across the country to celebrate the annual event, including Latte Art Smackdowns, raffle competitions, espresso martini parties, and more.
Coffee is one of the largest and most powerful industries in the world, pouring £9.6 billion (about A$17.5billion) into the UK economy. According to Allegra World Coffee Portal research, last year alone saw a further 1215 coffee shops open in the UK – an average of 3.4 new stores per day.
In 2017, more than £335,000 (about A$613,306) was raised during UK Coffee Week. As a result, donations have been used to fund a tri-country education project in schools across Uganda, Ethiopia and Kenya, in partnership with WaterAid UK.
This year, event organisers hope to top that, with 100 per cent of proceeds going to Project Waterfall's latest project in the Jabi Tehnan district of Ethiopia. This project will bring clean drinking water and sanitation to more than 7000 people over the next four years. With its yearly donations, Project Waterfall can give even more people from coffee growing communities with access to clean water and sanitation. Since starting, the charity has changed the lives of more than 27,000 lives in coffee growing communities.

A&P to sell Canada business for $1.5 billion
Supermarket operator Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co. agreed to sell A&P Canada to Metro Inc. for about $1.5 billion, as part of a plan to become profitable by 2007.
Shares of Montvale, N.J.-based A&P surged to a 52-week high, rising as much as 19%, to $35.20, in morning trading.
Metro, a Montreal supermarket and pharmaceutical operator, agreed to pay $982 million in cash and $409 million in Class A subordinate shares and certain debt. A&P Canada, which had sales of $1.2 billion in the first quarter ended June 18, operates 236 stores under the names A&P, Dominion, Food Basics, the Barn and Ultra Food & Drug.
As part of the sale, A&P said it would take a 15.8% stake in Metro, as well as put two A&P representatives on Metro's board.
In May, A&P announced a restructuring plan that included selling some operations. At the time the company said proceeds from the sales would be used to grow its core business in the Northeast, which extends from Washington, D.C., to Connecticut.
Last month, the 146-year-old company said it would transfer its distribution to C&S Wholesale Grocers in a move that would add $40 million in annual savings. A&P now operates more than 637 stores, including Waldbaums, Super Fresh and Food Emporium, in 10 states, the District of Columbia and Ontario, Canada.


When starting SEO for an existing website or starting to launch a new one, it is important to perform a comprehensive SEO audit and see what problems need addressing and what work needs to be done. Getting an SEO provider that only starts working after a detailed audit can be good for the site you are going to market yourself through.
After that, you need to decide on the things the audit will inspect, such as sub-domains, mobile versions, https and schema. You will also want to look at any technical redesigns that have been done to date, as well as CMS migrations and performance.
Xenu: A free tool that runs only on PC. Stick to smaller sites; because the bigger ones will almost surely give you trouble.
Screaming Frog: An affordable tool that works on Mac and PC and gives your reports on a range of SEO metrics, including heading tags and duplicate title tags.
Deep Crawl: Another inexpensive tool that runs in the cloud and does not depend on the OS. It can also track SEO factors like broken links, http status headers, missing XML sitemap, blocked URLs, thin content and facsimile content.
For checking information architecture, SEOquake is about the best option you can choose, for all indexed domains. Where topic hierarchy is concerned, DYNO mapper and PowerMapper are strong utilities to use.

Cray CS400 Supercomputer Coming to Baylor University
November 1, 2016 by staff Leave a Comment
Today Cray announced that Baylor University has selected a Cray CS400 cluster supercomputer, further demonstrating its commitment to transformative research. The Cray system will serve as the primary high performance computing platform for Baylor researchers and will be supported by the Academic and Research Computing Services group (ARCS) of the Baylor University Libraries.
The Cray CS400 cluster supercomputer will replace Baylor's current HPC system, enhancing and expanding its capacity for computational research projects. Among other research initiatives, Baylor serves as a Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) Tier 3 site for the European Organization for Nuclear Research, known as CERN. Baylor scientists analyze data gathered by the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, Switzerland, in partnership with others around the globe as part of ongoing research into subatomic particles.
"The Baylor Libraries support the research mission of the university by providing critical academic resources. We are proud to partner with an industry leader like Cray to bring this new supercomputer to our campus. The system will empower faculty and student researchers as they discover new insights and create innovations that meet the significant challenges that confront our world," said Pattie Orr, vice president for information technology and dean of university libraries.
The Cray CS400 cluster supercomputers are scalable, flexible systems built from industry-standard technologies into a unified, fully-integrated system. Available with air- or liquid-cooled configurations, Cray CS400 systems provide superior price/performance, energy efficiency and configuration flexibility. The Cray CS400 systems are integrated with Cray's HPC software stack and include software tools compatible with most open source and commercial compilers, schedulers, and libraries.
From companies at the top of the Fortune 500 list to local research consortiums, a wide array of organizations continues to recognize the capabilities Cray supercomputers can have in solving their research, design, or business analytics needs at any scale," said Fred Kohout, senior vice president and chief marketing officer. "We are honored that Baylor University has selected a Cray CS400 system for its scientific computing platform. The University's research community will have a powerful tool for conducting data intensive research across a broad spectrum of scientific fields."
The three-cabinet Cray CS400 cluster supercomputer is expected to be delivered to Baylor University in 2016.

'Give me a child until he is seven and I will give you the man', said Francis Xavier, the Jesuit. That was in the sixteenth century. A Victorian architect might have said 'Give me an articled pupil and I will give you the architect'. So it was with Seddon and Voysey. He could have had no better mentor. Seddon was a leading exponent of modernised Gothic – Gothic for the scientific, industrialised, age. It was not a mere style that Seddon passed on to Voysey, but a way of thinking – a mindset. It had the characteristic Victorian moral tone.
Voysey's articles with Seddon were signed in 1873. He was sixteen – a fortnight before his seventeenth birthday. Seddon wrote on the articles that he was pleased with Voysey's work and that he had 'placed himself in a position to do credit to the profession of an architect'. The Reverend Charles Voysey –Voysey's father – Voysey himself, Seddon and a witness — an articled clerk, signed the articles.
There is a parallel between the relationships of Seddon and Voysey and between Philip Webb (1831-1915) and his teacher George Edmund Street (1824-1881). Street, like Seddon, was an exponent of modern Gothic – Gothic for the nineteenth century and its new institutions. Street was architect of the Law Courts in the Strand and Seddon was architect of the University of Wales in Aberystwyth. Both Webb and Voysey understood that Gothic principles would transform architecture.
Take Webb's first building, the Red House (1859), for young William Morris and his twenty year-old wife Jane Burden. The house was as radical as Morris' choice of a wife from a different social class. In the Red House, Webb applied the principles he had learned from Street, but he jettisoned all the trappings of ecclesiastical Gothic and endeavoured to recreate the frankness of mediaeval vernacular building. The modest red-brick Red House seemed relaxed and welcoming — at a time when formality and a domestic hierarchy prevailed. The Red House was the forerunner of the houses that Voysey would build. Webb and his generation saw the transformation of Gothic from a style — the exponents of which were all-to-often preoccupied with doctrinaire interpretations of mediaeval buildings — to a way of thinking in which the frank use of materials and the visibility of craftsmanship were paramount.
A nineteenth century innocence and optimism permeate Voysey's œuvre. The residue of the nineteenth century could still be felt, even when modernism swept all before it. In Individuality (1915), as the Great War was gathering its dreadful momentum, Voysey set out his position – '…let us assume there is a beneficent and controlling power… perfectly good and perfectly loving and that our existence here is for the purpose of growing individual characters…' Voysey echoed the teaching of his father — the unfrocked country vicar, branded a heretic by the Church, who rejected the dogma of eternal punishment and founded the Theistic Church. Here the belief in an era of 'sweetness and light', the coming of which was imminent, held sway. Voysey's occasional unworldliness seems to exert a particular fascination for our often jaded postmodern era.
Voysey did not flourish academically during the eighteen months or so he was a pupil at Dulwich College. Dulwich, despite a long history had, by Voysey's time, only just attained the status of a major public school. Dulwich provided an education for entry into the professions for the aspiring London bourgeoisie. Voysey is said to have had problems with spelling. He might now have been described as 'dyslexic' – but dyslexics often have a high visual intelligence. In the early 1870s he might simply have been branded as a dullard – albeit with a talent for drawing. After he had been withdrawn from Dulwich, Voysey's father arranged for him to be taught at home by a tutor. There was no likelihood, even if he or his family had been so inclined, of a career for him in one of the favoured professions of the middle-classes — the law, the church, the Civil Service, or the technical branches of the military.
Architecture had an indeterminate social status. The lower levels of the profession were considered a branch of trade. Only the successful and fashionable architect could claim a place among the professions. By the end of the nineteenth century, a mere ten percent of architects had actually joined the Royal Institute of British Architects. In 1879 the Times spoke of the RIBA as 'a highly respectable trades union'. The debate as to whether architecture was a profession or an art rumbled on until the end of the century. Notably, Richard Norman Shaw, the most prominent architect of his generation, was firmly on the side of architecture as an art.
When Voysey joined his office, John Pollard Seddon (1827-1906), then forty-six, was at the height of his powers. To become an articled pupil was the conventional way of becoming an architect. 'To be articled' was simply a more exalted term for 'to be apprenticed'. Large fees could be charged. The system could be — and sometimes was — abused. But Seddon was an admirable teacher.
Voysey began his architectural training when there was no British counterpart to the French state-controlled École des Beaux-Arts – the only evolved system of architectural education. Its programmes emphasised historicism and theory. Beaux Art students designed façades with columns, pilasters, entablatures and pediments. This was the language of the Doric, Ionic, Corinthian and Composite orders – each with its own iconographical significance. Now it seems remote and alien. Voysey has sometimes been taken for a modernist because he had been taught to dispense with this language in Seddon's office — as he was taught to dispense with the superficial trappings of Gothic.
The architect to whom a pupil was articled was important. Famous architects insisted upon accepting only pupils with promise. To be accepted as an articled pupil — by an architect of Seddon's standing — was the first stage to success in an increasingly influential profession. During the consolidating stages of the industrial revolution there were the money and the desire to commemorate the age with monuments – national, civic and ecclesiastical. And there were the houses to build for those whom industry had made rich. There were thus innumerable opportunities for ambitious architects. In the 1860s and 1870s architects were beginning to enter the world of high culture. This was the time of the high water mark of the cult of the aesthetic. Artists and intellectuals sought to synthesise the ethical polarities of sternly moral Ruskinism and the hedonism – the 'art for art's sake' associated with Whistler and the arch-aesthete Walter Pater. These two – and Oscar Wilde — thought that art need serve no moral purpose. Its function was to intensify the experience of living.
Architecture is both a profession and a vocation. Seddon would have been fastidious about whom he allowed to work for him. Architecture calls for a person of letters, a skilful draughtsman, a mathematician, someone familiar with history — a student of philosophy even. So said Vitruvius in Book I of De Architectura. Seddon would have favoured a youth like Voysey who seemed to have Vitruvian potential.
Who recommended Voysey to Seddon? Although Voysey was only at Dulwich for a short time he would have encountered a brilliant art teacher — John Sparkes (1833-1911). He was scholarly – he wrote — was eclectic in his taste in art, a Ruskinian and immersed in the burgeoning philosophy of the arts and crafts. Might Sparkes have been the intermediary between Seddon and Voysey's father? One can assume that Sparkes would not have suggested that Voysey become a painter. His simplified linear figure drawing was not what was expected of the successful Victorian artist.
At Dulwich, Sparkes taught two contemporaries of Voysey who were to become famous as painters — Stanhope Forbes (1857-1947) and Henry La Thangue (1859-1929). Sparkes continued to teach them at Lambeth School of Art where he was Headmaster. Stanhope Forbes and La Thangue were to become leaders of the Newlyn School of painters in Cornwall. This was the centre of British, but French-inspired, plein air – outdoor as opposed to studio — painting. Stanhope Forbes' best known painting was A fish sale on a Cornish Beach, 1885 – an early attempt at social realism and no mere winsome genre work. The painting did much to publicise the Newlyn artists. La Thangue's best known work was The Man with the Scythe, 1896, which depicted a girl of six or seven sleeping on a chair in cottage garden, watched anxiously by her mother, while a labourer with a scythe passes. The symbolism was a poignant one for Victorians. Tuberculosis took the lives of many children. Voysey designed a house for La Thangue in Norman Shaw's garden suburb of Bedford Park. It was never to be built.
Sparkes, in the event, was to become the leading late-nineteenth-century authority on design and art education. He became Director of the South Kensington Schools. These were, for many years, to be the epicentre of British official design education. In 1896, after the South Kensington Schools were designated the Royal College of Art, Sparkes became its first Principal.
John Pollard Seddon (1827-1906) was an intellectual who moved in Pre-Raphaelite circles. He was the younger brother of Thomas Seddon (1821-1856), a close friend of Holman Hunt (1827-1910) — one the founders of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and painter of The Light of the World and The Awakening Conscience – paintings which we may now appreciate for their quaintness, but in their day aroused real emotion. Seddon's own impeccable Pre-Raphaelite credentials are to be seen with his design for the first major piece of Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co furniture – this was for his own draughting and office desk. It is known as 'King René's Honeymoon Cabinet'. It had painted panels by Ford Madox Brown, Rossetti, William Morris, Burne-Jones and Val Prinsep. It can be seen at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Seddon was also a prolific designer of stained glass – some of his windows, mostly in Wales, are among the finest Pre-Raphaelite ecclesiastical works.
Seddon had been articled to Professor Thomas Leverton Donaldson (1795-1885). With C. R. Cockerell (1788-1863), Donaldson was one of the last links with the eighteenth century British classical tradition. He was a founding member of the Royal Institute of British Architects and was spoken of as a 'father of the Institute and the Profession'. Although distinguished as a writer and a teacher, Donaldson built comparatively little. He was a classicist to the core – his projected design for the Albert Memorial and an adjacent Hall of Science show a fine command of the orders and classical monumentality.
Like many young architects, Seddon had been stirred by the writings of Ruskin, notably The Seven Lamps of Architecture (complete text) (1849) and The Stones of Venice (1852-53). In 1852, the age of twenty-five, Seddon published Progress in art and architecture... It was based on series of lectures he had given at the Architectural Association, that had been founded in 1847 by young articled pupils who were dissatisfied with the banal historical and cultural diet they were offered by their architect mentors. Progress in art and architecture is filled with Ruskinian ardour. It is illustrated with ten fine lithographic plates by Seddon's own hand. These show the influence of Ruskin's impassioned style of drawing. There are no complete buildings in Seddon's book. Seddon, like Ruskin, was concerned with intimate and humanising ornamental detail.
In examining the nature of Renaissance [architecture]… its chief element of weakness was that pride of knowledge which not only prevented all rudeness in, but gradually quenched expression all energy which could only be rudely expressed … art is valuable or otherwise only as it expresses the personality, activity, and living perception of the human soul… if it [does] not show the vigour, perception, and invention of a mighty human spirit, it is worthless.
For 'rudeness' we might substitute 'naivety', or better still — 'innocence'. Seddon must have passed on such Ruskinian attitudes to Voysey who desired quotodian ordinariness and restraint. Ruskin's arguments, often ethical rather than aesthetic, are seductive. Gothic could humanise the societies that industrialisation was destroying. Ruskin was not anti-modern, far from it. But he was opposed to the coarse aspirations and the banality of his times.
Seddon was among the most devoutly Ruskinian of the Gothic Revival architects. After the death of Sir Gilbert Scott in 1878 he succeeded him as Director of the Royal Architectural Museum in Westminster – now long since defunct. It was run on strictly Ruskinian lines. Ornament was the theme of the collection – ornament, the imprint of human aspiration and sensibility upon buildings. The examples in the museum took the form of plaster casts from mediaeval buildings.
Seddon himself created fine ornament throughout his career and his many Pugin-like designs for encaustic tile schemes for churches are among the best of the 1860s and 1870s. Voysey would have learned the syntax of ornament and pattern in Seddon's office. Who knows? — some of the Maw & Company tile designs emanating from the Seddon office in the 1870s may be by Voysey — although they would have been designed under Seddon's guidance. Seddon must have been impressed by Voysey's decorative abilities. He asked him to design the three mosaics on his tower for the science block of Aberystwyth University. Like the 1860 Ruskin-inspired Oxford University Museum of Natural History — by Benjamin Woodward (1816-1861), of the Dublin practice of Deane and Woodward — Seddon's work at Aberystwyth is also an example of gothic in the service of modern science. Voysey's three mosaic panels show Archimedes – the great mathematician and scientist of antiquity – being offered a model of what looks very like a Midland Railway 4-2-2 locomotive, by a kneeling young man. Another young man is offering a model of a two-funnelled steamship – with its engines, typically for the 1870s, supplemented by sails. This young man is almost certainly a self-portrait of Voysey. The three figures are in no sense mediaevalising and suggest the influence of John Flaxman (1755-1826) – the leading British neoclassical sculptor. John Sparkes who had taught Voysey at Dulwich was, incidentally, an authority on Flaxman. Voysey's design for the first bound volume of The Studio, first published in April 1893, shows Use and Beauty embracing. Use holds the governor of a steam-engine, while Beauty holds a tulip.
What ornamental models would Voysey have been shown when he was a pupil in Seddon's office? He must have surely have seen Ruskin's Seven Lamps of Architecture, and his Stones of Venice. The three-volume work is illustrated in a way that can still elicit wonder. It served as both a pattern-book and polemic. Ruskin was much involved with the interpretation of nature in this book and believed the principles he expounded were 'universal'. He was a theorist, a social reformer and a scholar who had brought poetry to the architectural discourse.
Pugin's work would have been another important source of inspiration for ornament in the Seddon office. In Contrasts, 1836 – satire and passionate polemic in equal measure — Pugin, like Ruskin, called for the restoration and revitalisation of Gothic. Pugin thought a Gothic ambiance would encourage Catholic piety. Only in Gothic would we find 'the faith of Christianity embodied, and its practices illustrated'. Pugin's arguments seem populist and simplistic when set against the subtlety of Ruskin's. Voysey's approach to architecture was actually closer to Pugin's than Ruskin's. Pugin was, after all, a successful practising architect who, in his short life, had been immensely productive. Pugin's Glossary of Ecclesiastical Ornament (1844) – with its numerous chromolithographic plates would have had its place in every church architect's office library. His delightful Floriated Ornament (1849) would have demonstrated how native plants could be transformed into decorative motifs. The book contains well over a hundred formal geometrical arrangements of leaves and flowers. The boldness and clarity of these designs would have appealed to those architects who seek order, simplicity and precision.
It seems inconceivable that Voysey would not have seen a copy of Owen Jones' Grammar of Ornament (cover), 1856 in Seddon's office. Besides its sheer beauty – the writer George Eliot (Mary Anne Evans) described it as being lovely enough for the nurseries of angels – the book was a, still unequalled, compendium of decorative motifs. Whatever Voysey thought of the page after page of magnificent designs from India and the Islamic world in Jones' book – one suspects Voysey had the Ruskinian and arts and crafts prejudice against Eastern art – he might have found the anonymous drawings in the chapter on leaves and flowers 'after nature' a source of inspiration. Could these splendid monochrome lithographs have been by the leading botanical illustrator of the time — Walter Hood Fitch (1817-1892)?
After the 1914-18 War, when his arhitectural commissions evaporated, Voysey survived meagrely by producing designs for textiles. His powers as a designer had declined. John Brandon Jones believed that Voysey suffered from a peptic ulcer that affected his ability to work. An ulcer would have been a constant source of irritation and pain. Now, of course, the condition is readily susceptible to treatment.
'Things are intelligible through a knowledge of their antecedents… the nature of things is latent in their past', wrote Geoffrey Scott in The Architecture of Humanism (1914). Scott's book is rare in British architectural writing – it approaches the condition of a philosophical text. The lessons that Voysey learned in Seddon's office remained with him. There were differences between the attitudes of the two, of course. They were separated by a generation. Seddon, like a good Ruskinian Goth, favoured collectivity in the arts. Voysey stood for individuality. Yet there was always a Gothic subtext in Voysey's architecture and he was ever a Victorian in his ethical attitudes. If Voysey can be accommodated within the pantheon of modernism it must be with the proviso that it was the modernism of the Seddon era.

Chris Gulker, a former San Francisco Examiner photo editor and a self-described tech geek who was instrumental in introducing the digital publishing era to the newspaper industry, has died at his Menlo Park home after a four-year battle with brain cancer. He was 59.
Mr. Gulker is credited by academics who study Internet history as having been one of the Web's first bloggers. He also pursued a variety of creative endeavors, including photography, his family and friends said.
"He was the typical two-brained person," said Linda Hubbard Gulker, his wife of 29 years. "Science and technology on one side, artistic on the other."
She was a magazine editor in Southern California when she met Mr. Gulker, then a features photographer for the old Los Angeles Herald Examiner. Soon after their 1981 marriage, she said, Mr. Gulker mailed away for something called a personal computer.
"It came in a kit, and he was more than happy to figure out how to put it together," she said.
Mr. Gulker was hired at the Examiner in 1989 to lead the photography staff's transition from film to digital cameras, recalled David Cole, then an assistant managing editor at the newspaper.
Mr. Gulker's interest in new technologies made him a rising star in an industry undergoing a radical transformation.
Mr. Gulker eventually oversaw the conversion to a "virtual newsroom," where stories and photographs were electronically uploaded to the "Electric Examiner" for readers who had access to the Web.
Mr. Gulker is also credited as a co-founder of the Gate, the original online version of the Examiner and Chronicle when the newspapers worked under a joint operating agreement.
After a 1994 newspaper strike, Mr. Gulker left the Examiner for Apple Computer, where he was a liaison to the publishing industry. He soon began an online journal of "words and pictures from Silicon Valley" at gulker.com, a rare endeavor at the time.
According to Rudolf Ammann, a Swiss researcher who has studied the history of the Web, Mr. Gulker was among the first to blog, and among the first to attribute sources and maintain a list of links, or "blog roll."
In the following years, Mr. Gulker wrote a technology column for the Independent of London, consulted for startups and eventually took a job as a product manager at Adobe Systems. He also co-founded the hyper-local blog InMenlo with his wife.
"It was a way for him to get back into being a journalist, particularly the feature portraits," Linda Gulker said. "That's what he really loved to do."
True to the blogger's ethos, Mr. Gulker continued to write about his cancer diagnosis and treatment for the past four years. He managed to update his blog even in the days before his death Oct. 27, sometimes dictating entries to his wife.
"When you've had an online presence that long," she said, "it was just a way to continue the story."
A memorial service will be held Friday at 2 p.m. at Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, 330 Ravenswood Ave., in Menlo Park.
