Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol opens this Sunday, December 2.
The Hangar Theatre Company presents its second annual production of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol at the Hangar Theatre in Ithaca with public performances running December 2-23, 2018.
Opening performances are this Sunday, December 2, at 2 and 7 p.m.
Featuring a delightful cast of local and national talent, enchanting period costumes, imaginative scenery, original live music, and the familiar Spirits of Christmas Past, Present, and Future, this retelling of Charles Dickens' classic novella brings a contemporary perspective to the story while remaining true to the time-honored tale of redemption and generosity that resonates during the holiday season.
The Hangar's production is an original adaptation by Aoise Stratford. More than 100 of Stratford's plays have been produced worldwide. Currently on the faculty of Cornell University's Department of Performing and Media Arts, she developed Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol for its debut at the Hangar in 2017. Michael Barakiva, the Hangar's Artistic Director who will also direct the production, notes that "there's a great synergy between Dickens' sense of social outrage, which is what motivated him to write this novella, and Aoise, who shares a very similar modern sense of outrage and fury over social and economic disparity. So it's remarkable how 19th century England feels like 21st century America."
The 2018 production will welcome many cast members back to the show including David Studwell (Ebenezer Scrooge), Sally Ramirez (Mrs. Fezziwig and Spirit of Christmas Present), Aundre Seals (Bob Cratchit), Josh Sedelmeyer, John Hertzler, David Moreland, and Emma Bowers. The cast also includes stars from the Hangar's 2018 summer season: Ariel Blake (A Doll's House, Part 2) and Sandrinne Edstrom (Chicago and Pride & Prejudice) as well as new youth cast members Mary Hopkins (Gwen et al.), Nicholas Haynes (Tiny Tim et al.), and Hugo Lloyd (Tiny Tim et al.). Mary Holzhauer will be the Music Director this year.
A free Community Performance is offered this Saturday to ensure all can enjoy this holiday production.Groups interested in the Community Performance are encouraged to contact the Hangar Theatre Box Office at (607)273-8588 on Friday 11/30 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Discounted group rates are available for all performances!
Tuesday Talkbacks give audience members the chance to talk with actors, designers, and the crew about the show. Live music in the lobby will also be featured before Tuesday performances.
Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol is sponsored by Tompkins Trust Company (Premier) and Communique Design & Marketing (Associate). The United Way of Tompkins County is a Community Partner. The Hangar's year-round Partners in Flight are CFCU Community Credit Union and Cayuga Group; Partner in the Arts is Ithaca College.
"…we welcome you, our audience." states Barakiva. "If you're returning from last year, we hope that you enjoy it even more, and I look forward to discovering what you were able to glean on second viewing. If you're new, we hope that Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol at the Hangar Theatre becomes a holiday tradition for you, as it has for us."
Tickets are available online at www.hangartheatre.org or by calling 607-273-ARTS (2787).
Tickets will also be available at the door based on availability, before each performance.

Bridging the Gap Between Students' In- and Out-of-School Experiences
This post is an interview by Tyler Thigpen, Partner at Transcend, with Yutaka Tamura, Executive Director of nXu, and Jabali Sawicki, Compass Director of nXu. nXu and Transcend have forged an R&D partnership through which Transcend is providing strategic, organizational, and programmatic guidance to nXu during this critical stage of its establishment.
Formal learning in schools is but a fraction compared to the informal learning students experience on a daily basis.
What if there was a way to connect out-of-school experiences with in-school ones so that deeper learning was amplified? We think nXu is on to something in this area.
In our previous post, we shared the what, why, and how of nXu, a purpose incubator designed to catalyze a diverse community of youth to explore, articulate, and pursue their purpose. For today's post, Tyler Thigpen of Transcend sat down with nXu's Executive Director, Yutaka Tamura, and Compass Director Jabali Sawicki to look at how nXu's team is giving high schoolers time, space, and encouragement from others to use what they're learning in school to make a measurable difference in the world.
Here's a glimpse into the nXu team's thinking and planning:
What is the value of an out-of-school model, and how does this impact students' experiences in school?
We currently run programming on an out-of-school basis in the form of a fellowship program, but we are also building capacity to provide programming to schools within a school context.
We recognize that U.S. high schools--even today's highest-performing ones--are constrained by time, resources, and an innumerable amount of other priorities to provide meaningful, customized, and purpose-centered educational experiences for their students. In the hustle of the academic school year, school leaders who are strapped by limited resources juggle a deluge of other important priorities (academic coursework, regulatory requirements, school culture/community, etc.) that are urgent and important. Moreover, enabling students to find and pursue their purpose is difficult work that requires both significant investments of time and energy and also new and different capacities among the adults facilitating the process.
We designed nXu as both complementary to the work of traditional schools, and integral to the holistic development and success of students. While it's true that operating as an out-of-school program has benefits as we teach a curriculum anchored around purpose exploration, we've already seen that nXu can lead to greater engagement in school. Our high schoolers see the multitude of ways they can use knowledge and skills. They identify ways in which school connects to life, and more importantly, the lives they want to live. Through a process of intentional self-reflection and deep purpose exploration, students develop a personal and intentional lens through which they experience and pursue their in-school learning. By developing and embracing a greater degree of autonomy, we perceive they are motivated to take more ownership of their school experience.
The out-of-school model also enables us to help high schoolers build a diverse community. nXu cohorts are intentionally diverse to address the fact that a majority of our schools lack significant diversity and opportunities for students to cross lines of difference and engage in meaningful learning experiences. Operating as an out-of-school program encourages students to leave their comfortable bubbles of homogeneity and allows us to circumvent the prevalent segregation of our schools and create the rich, diverse, stimulating learning environments that students crave.
While we see value in our out-of-school approach, we piloted the implementation of our curriculum within schools last school year with strong success. We plan to spend this coming school year further exploring how we can import our approach into schools with hopes of expanding our reach and impact.
What prior skills and knowledge from education have helped your team build nXu and what if anything has your team had to unlearn?
nXu takes advantage of decades of best practices and research-based pedagogy. The core ingredients we've incorporated into our program design include effective strategies for:
Maximizing rigor and engagement;
Activating and igniting student passions and interests;
Fostering curiosity;
Designing transformative learning experiences;
Creating positive and inclusive cultures that celebrate diversity and encourage intellectual engagement; and
Promoting student advocacy and agency.
We think of the above priorities as design principles that need to get applied in some way to every learning experience at nXu. Before, during, and after each learning experience, we ask ourselves: Does this encounter spark further interest? Is it inclusive? Is it relevant? Do students have control and choice? And more.
If you were leading a traditional high school now, what elements of nXu would you want to incorporate in a traditional setting and what steps would you take to do so?
We think purpose development should be incorporated into all levels of education. When adolescent young people struggle to find and pursue their purpose, they struggle in other areas, too. A sense of purpose--and the perspective, skills, and social capital necessary to pursue purpose--are a powerful inoculation against boredom, distraction, and lack of engagement. Purpose is crucial in high school as students begin to experience and exercise greater agency and control of the outcomes of their lives.
If we were leading a traditional high school now, these are certain aspects of our program we would adopt:
An emphasis on relevance and personal meaning by connecting everything to students' lives and lived experiences. The goal is to have students walk away from every learning experience with a clear understanding of why it matters to them.
A project-based curriculum that allows deeper exploration and analysis of key purpose related concepts.
Field Trips (Purpose trips) which allow for the immediate, practical, and real-world application of key learnings.
Spending more time processing, recognizing, developing, and celebrating, who kids uniquely are, outside of their academic performance.
We plan to embed our programming in schools this coming school year to better understand how our programming can serve students within a school context.
What's your near- and long-term plan for nXu?
Our short-term goals for the 2018-19 school year are to expand our programming in New York City and establish a second region in San Antonio. We are also in the early stages of exploring the establishment of a third region in Seattle. While running our out-of-school programming, we also are exploring how our model can be implemented in schools.
Once established in New York City and San Antonio, we will make our content, training, and technology available to young people in communities and schools across the country. Long-term, we hope to become a purpose incubator that catalyzes many different groups of young people to explore, articulate, and pursue their purpose in a sustainable ecosystem.
Can you imagine thousands of young people and coaches who collectively cultivate and develop their sense of purpose within a supportive community and who build projects that meet critical needs? The result would be a cadre of youth who...
...can articulate the 'why' behind their interests and aspirations
...make more informed and strategic life decisions
...possess a deep sense of belong and community
...exhibit substantive self-awareness
...are open to and pursue new experiences
...take initiative to make meaningful contributions to the world
Wouldn't that make for a better society?

Left Image: Having a giggle with Joseph, 11 and his therapists. All therapy is play-based.
A few weeks ago we lauched an online plea for local charities to support in 2017/18 following a successful year working with If U Care Share Foundation, a suicide prevention charity. Many charities were nominated and over 4,500 votes were counted but in the end Heel & Toe Children's Charity, based just outside of Durham city won and we couldn't be happier to be working with such a worthwile organisation!
Heel & Toe Children's Charity was established to help children with cerebral palsy and any other movement conditions, by providing free Conductive Education Therapy. In 2009, they extended their service to help children with dyspraxia. This week our Marketing & Tenant Liaison Coordinator Georgina Thomson paid them a visit to see in person the wonderful work that goes on there, helping children of all ages overcome problems with their movement, enabling them to be more active and live more independent lives.
Georgina commented, " I got to see three different sessions during my visit where I met with the Clinical Lead Physiotherapist, therapists and children of varying ages while they were actually in therapy as well as a tour of the building. I was genuinely moved by the care and love shown by the staff at Heel & Toe and just watching how the children reacted to the play-based therapy had us all smiling and laughing, especially Joseph who is particularly fond of high fives! All of us at Prince Bishops Shopping Centre are all looking forward to the next 12 months working with such a wonderful charity, stay posted for fundraising activities!"

Supriya Yarlagadda is a Heroine but may not remember anyone. If we Say Pawan Kalyan's name is Everyone can recognise. Surprisingly 22 years ago, Supriya Yarlagadda and Pawan Kalyan, they both entered the Telugu industry with the same Movie. " Akkada Ammayi Ikkada Abbayi " in the film heroine is Supriya Yarlagadda and Hero is Pawan Kaylan. But Supriya cinematography stopped with one Movie. Pawan Kalyan has become a star hero. Supriya reentered into movies with spy movie "Goodachari". Talking about her and hero Pawan Kalyan, she said that, she did not expected that he would come to this level. After the first film, she took break from movies and was completely handling with the Annapurna studio affairs. Now she shared and discussed so many things about movie success and rentry.
Many People in the Industry used to read thier scripts ask for my my opinion about those scripts. Sashi and Adivi Sesh did the same when they came to me. After describing the script, Sesh asked me to play the role of Nadia Qureshi. I said to them i stopped acting before 22 years old, and I told them to make sure they were okay after audition. Soon after that audition I was back to the camera again.
Since 20 years lot of things had changed. I was doing with Pawan for the sake of my grandfather Akkineni Nageshwara Rao. After that now only Faced the camera again. It took some time to adjust for the first day. Then it's normal again. I was interested to act in this new kind of film in Telugu.
I want to act, if I got good roles. It's a big responsibility for maintaining audio and taking the production house forward. Initially, I wrote a few scripts to become a writer. Later I became an actress and now I am looking forward to Annapurna Studios Maintenance. Our grandfather made a strong impression on the people. He will be very happy if the grandchildren are doing good in the movies. I will continue acting anymore. I like negative shaded characters. That type of story came means i will not give up.

Re: I have lots of information, but cannot find much on these ancestors.
I didn't answer you either when you posted the last census, did I? Sorry about that. I was busy making notes, I thought I had answered when I hadn't.
I'll check this one too now, Wiston looks really promising. Thank you very much.
HAVERFORDWEST COUNTY COURT. MONDAY. [BEFORE HENRY RIDGARD BAGSHAWE, ESQ., JUDGE.] Martha Williams v. Thomas Thomas.-This was an action brought for the recovery of £1, money lent. The defendant did not appear. The Plaintiff deposed that she lent the money at different times, and produced letters from the defendant, in which he admitted the amount to be due. The Judge: Was this a love affair? The Plaintiff, with much reluctance, answered in the affirmative. The Judge: Where does the defendant live ? Plaintiff: He lives at the Crowhill-road. The Judge, in ordering payment in a month, observed: I suppose you cannot make it up in any other way ? Plaintiff: No, sir.
Wow! That must be him. That's an amazing find, thank you.
He 'got around' a bit for a one-legged Tailor. (I don't know if he was one-legged at this point ).
My great uncle Ernest wrote a short entry about him in his family annals.
Apparently the family believed him to be prosperous at some point, as they thought he owned the houses on each side of his own. But at the time of his death the other houses were found to be so heavily mortgaged that they were worthless. He drank heavily and Great Uncle Ernest writes that he was very aware that his mum was much more fond of her mother than her father Thomas, although Ernest couldn't remember what the source of that was.
So this all fits very well. Fascinating. Thank you.
Can I ask where you found this information MB?
On the 12th inst., at North Crescent, in this town, Emma, daughter of Mr Thomas Thomas, tailor, aged 3 years.
On the 28th ult., at Jordanston Hill, Elizabeth May (Lizzie), youngest daughter of the late Mr Thomas Thomas, tailor, of North Crescent, in this town. Aged 18 years. Loved by all who knew her.

Beautiful places on sunny days, super fun places on get-out-the-wiggle days and favorite indoor places for rainy or mega-hot days, these are 25 of our favorite ways to enjoy spring in Kansas City (with infants and toddlers).

1. Heat a sauté pan and add the canola oil and diced onions. Cook that for about 1 minute and then add the diced green and red pepper into the sauté pan and cook for about another 1 or 2 minutes. Take it off the heat. Then set the mixture aside to cool properly and reserve for later.
2. Soften the cream cheese and then put it into a kitchen aid mixer. Add the cubed soft cream cheese and start to cream it at low speed and increase to medium low speed and scrape the bowl intermittently.

With oil prices hovering around $135 a barrel, many Americans are feeling uneasy about the future. And for good reason; higher prices at the pump channel money away from things like health care, education, and leisure activities that improve our quality of life.
Build high-density, mixed-use cities – The vast majority of American cities are built for cars, creating what urban planners call sprawl, low-density areas where people spend too much time and money driving to conduct their daily activity. Cities built around people and walking as opposed to cars and driving have things like single family housing, apartments, grocery stories, office space and retail all within walking distance, eliminating the daily need to get behind the wheel. The rise of New Urbanism in places like Kentlands, Maryland, and the revitalization of American inner cities in places like Chicago, New York, and Washington DC suggests that more and more Americans want a lifestyle that favors short walking trips over long car commutes.
Invest in Mass Transit – Americans are flocking to mass transit in ever greater numbers. At 10.3 billion trips last year, mass transit ridership in the United States is at its highest level since 1957. To match this growing demand, cities should invest money to maintain and expand their mass transit systems. One practical way to do this is to charge car drivers for using the most congested roads and use this revenue to fund mass transit projects. London, Singapore, and Stockholm all have congestion pricing programs which have been wildly successful and, counter to conventional wisdom, popular among residents.
Invest in Cycling Facilities – Increasingly cycling is becoming popular among commuters making short trips around cities. But the spike in the number of city cyclists has yet to be followed by a supply of cycling facilities like bike lanes and bike parking. In many cities cyclists have to compete with cars for road space, a dangerous proposition that drives potential cyclists off their bikes and back into cars. By building special cycle lanes that are physically separated from traffic, cities can make cycling a viable, low-cost form of transit. Cycling can also be instrumental in countering chronic diseases like diabetes and obesity, which are now afflicting large swaths of the sedentary American population. Paris, among other cities, has taken cycling a step above the rest, creating a bike sharing program with 15,000 bicycles available at a moments notice for anyone with a credit card. American cities should take note.
So far, the response from politicians on Capitol Hill has been anything but inspiring. Many politicians have disingenuously claimed that we don't need to change our behavior and can "drill our way out of this problem." Or that we can apply enough pressure on oil-rich countries, who will then turn against their own self-interests and ramp up production. Or that high fuel standards and alternative fuels like ethanol, which just suffered a huge setback with the Iowa floods, will make all our problems go away.
But in one corner of Washington there seem to be a few people in touch with the rest of Americans who are now bearing the brunt of rising fuel costs. On Capitol Hill, Earl Blumenauer, a Democratic Congressman from Portland, recently spoke out because he couldn't find a parking spot in the garage of the Rayburn House of Representatives office building. So many Hill staffers now cycle to work that Mr. Blumenauer, for the first time ever, couldn't find a space on the bike rack to lock his road bike.

Are women who get abortions good people?
By Cassy Fiano-Chesser | November 25, 2012 , 09:30am
And who exactly are the evil people?
A pro-abortion feminist recently published a piece at RH Reality Check which made a supposedly controversial statement: good women have abortions.
After working with thousands of women coming in for abortions they have observed that good women, the majority of them women of faith, have abortions. They say to women, "You are a good woman. It may be hard for you to believe that right now, but deep in your heart you know you are making your decision out of a place of goodness. This pregnancy and whatever choice you make about it doesn't change that. For some women abortion is a clear, certain decision. For others is can be really hard. For most women, it is somewhere in between."
They encourage women to honor themselves and work to eschew the judgements of others. They remind women that the anti-abortion protesters don't know them and what is in their heads and hearts. They also ask:
"Can it be that women know something very deep inside, even deeper than fear and shame? Can it be that women know it is their responsibility to decide when to bring new life into this world? Women are not the enemies of our children- even those we decide not to bring into the world."
In a way, I agree with her.
I believe that most women who have abortions are good women. They're good women who are scared, alone, intimidated, and misinformed. They're good women who think they have no other choice. They're good women who are lied to by the abortion industry. They're good women who think that their parents will kick them out or that their partners will leave them. They're good women who are told that their futures, their lives will be ruined if they have a baby.
I'm a pro-lifer. But I don't hate women who have abortions, and I don't think they're evil. I understand how frightened and alone and confused they are. And the truth is that over time, many of these women feel guilt and regret. They struggle with depression, and they grieve for their babies. The fact that many of these women suffer so much afterwards, feeling guilt and shame and remorse, shows that they are good women. These are good women who made a mistake. They still deserve our compassion and our understanding.
Far worse are the people who push for abortions, who aren't satisfied for abortion to just be legal. They love abortion. They don't want women to have the choice to keep their babies – they want abortion to be widespread and common. There are the members of the abortion industry, who lie to and manipulate women to continue profiting off their bloodlust. There are the leaders of Planned Parenthood, who want women to believe that abortion is their only hope – who tell women that their futures depend on the ability to kill their children.
Now, many of these women — the ardent pro-abortion activists — have abortions themselves, usually multiple abortions. But these aren't your average women who find themselves getting an abortion. The average woman who gets an abortion, is young and unmarried. She's certainly not an abortion advocate cheering on Planned Parenthood and claiming abortion is women's last hope.
Put yourself in her shoes: you're 22 years old, you've got a boyfriend but you aren't married, and you're just starting your career. You find out you're pregnant, and you think you can't have the baby. Your boyfriend is pressuring you to have an abortion, you're worried about losing your job, you can't afford a child, you don't want to disappoint your parents. You go somewhere — say, Planned Parenthood — where all of those fears are confirmed and reiterated. They sell you on abortion. They tell you that having a baby will ruin your career and leave you broke. They tell you that abortion is safer than childbirth. They don't talk to you about other options. They don't talk to you about ways you could keep the baby or about adoption. And when you ask questions about the baby, such as if it's alive or if the heart is beating, they lie. So they grip someone's hand, they cry, and they do it. Because no one ever told them they had another choice.
If you want to know who the evil people in the abortion debate are, they aren't the women who were sucked into having an abortion. They're the people making women think they have no other choice… that their lives depend on taking another.

The 8 Amici (Part 2): Review of 4 More Briefs Opposing Breach of Joint-Employer Precedent
Aloysius Hogan • 12/15/2014
Joint Employer—Eight Amici for the Employers
In total, 17 amicus briefs were submitted in June 2014, in the seminal National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) case on joint employers.
The case styled Browning-Ferris Industries of California, Inc. v. Sanitary Truck Drivers and Helpers Local 350 involves two employers, Browning Ferris Industries and their contractor Leadpoint, and one petitioner, the Teamsters.
The NLRB may decide the case as early as today, before the expiration of the term of Board Member Nancy Schiffer on December 16, 2014.
Amicus Briefs for Petitioner Teamsters Union
Nine amicus briefs supported the Teamsters' proposed change to the thirty-plus-year precedent established to determine whether two or more different businesses jointly employ a worker. Two of these nine briefs proposing to cast off precedent came from government agencies: the National Labor Relations Board General Counsel and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The other seven briefs were submitted by trial lawyers, professors, and unions.
Amicus Briefs for Employers
Eight amicus briefs opposed a change in the joint employer standard and supported the employers. These briefs were filed by business associations, councils, centers, and coalitions.
In this posting, I examine salient points from the second four of the eight amicus briefs opposing an NLRB change in precedent.
U.S. Chamber of Commerce
The Chamber makes many of the arguments already mentioned, including restating that the law of agency must be abided:
"[I]n determining 'employer' status, the Supreme Court has repeatedly held, as prior decisions of the Board itself have observed, that the Board is not free to ignore the law of agency. See, e.g., NLRB v. Town 7 Country Elec., Inc., 516 U.S. 85, 89-90 (1995); Allied Chem. & Alkali Workers, Local Union No. 1 v. Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co., 404 U.S. 157, 1667-168 (1971); Roadway Package Sys., Inc. & Teamsters Local 63, 326 NLRB 842, 849 (1998)."[1]
It is well worth noting, as the Chamber does, that the Regional Director made an appropriate ruling in the underlying case, basing the decision on the current standard.
"On these facts, the Regional Director correctly determined that BFI is not a joint employer because it lacks direct and immediate control over the essential terms and conditions of employment of Leadpoint's employees."[2]
Like the ASA does, the U.S. Chamber hits the NLRB for not following Congressional intent in the statute:
"[B]oth the Act and Supreme Court precedent forbid the Board from imposing a bargaining obligation without regard to whether the putative "joint employer" is an employer under agency law. See Nationwide Mut. Ins. Co., 503 U.S. at 324-25."[3]
In a good bit of research, the Chamber points out the U.S. House committee's criticism of the NLRB when they wrote the 1947 amendments:
"Notably the House Committee Report accompanying the 1947 amendments harshly criticized the Board's finding in Hearst that independent contractors were employees under the Act, noting the term 'employee':
'according to all standard dictionaries, according to the law as the courts have stated it, and according to the understanding of almost everyone, whith the exception of members of the National Labor Relations Board, means someone who works for another for hire… [and who] work for wages or salaries under direct supervision. …
It must be presumed that when Congress passed the Labor Act, it intended words it used [such as 'employee'] to have the meanings that they had when Congress passed the act, not new meanings that, 9 years later, the Labor Board might think up. … It is inconceivable that Congress, when it passed the act, authorized the board to give every word in the act whatever meaning it wished.'
H.R. Rep. No. 245, at 18, 80th Cong., 1st Sess. (1947); Allied Chem., 404 U.S. at 167 (quoting the same report).
Significantly, the 1947 amendments also modified the definition of 'employer' to encompass only those persons who are 'acting as an agent of an employer.' 29 U.S.C. § 152(2) (emphasis added), rather than any individual 'acting in the interest of an employer' as the statute previously read. This change, too, was designed to reinforce the applicability of agency law to the determination of who is an employer within the meaning of the Act."[4]
National Association of Manufacturers, National Restaurant Association, and National Waste & Recycling Association
The National Association of Manufacturers, National Restaurant Association, and National Waste & Recycling Association impressively represent about 25% of the American workforce and disturbingly assess the serious and adverse effects that a change to the joint employer standard would have on their industries.
"Changing the standard to create a legal fiction that a host facility is the 'employer' of another wholly independent company's employees—whose employees it does not hire, supervise, discipline, discharge, or pay—will disrupt operations, likely increase costs, and impair Amici's members' ability to respond to changing market conditions and demands."[5]
Their brief strongly argues that the current standard protects existing rights:
"Petitioner provides no credible evidence whatsoever that the current joint-employer standard is insufficient to protect the rights of temporary workers from companies that contract with their employers, the staffing agencies. Rather, there is ample evidence to the contrary – that the TLI and Laerco standard does indeed protect the rights of temporary employees. …"[6]
"In fact, the Board has seen a sharp drop in the number of unfair labor practice charges and representation petitions being filed. In 2000, the Board received a combined total of 35,249 unfair labor charges and representation petitions. Ten years later, the number had dropped to 25,855. NLRB FY2009 Annual Report, p. 2, Chart 1. Thus, Petitioner seems to offer a solution to a problem that does not exist.
Furthermore, Petitioner has not shown that a split in authority has surfaced among the various Circuit Courts… Indeed there is no rift among the Circuits…"[7]
The brief also delves into the issues of stare decisis:
"Although the Board is not constrained by the doctrine of stare decisis, (see NLRB v. Kostel Corp., 440 F.2d 347, 350 (7th Cir. 1971)) [citing NLRB v. Wirebound Box Co., 356 F.2d 88 (1966)] it should nonetheless consider how adopting a new joint employer standard may affect those parties who have relied on the current standard for decades. As Justice Louis Brandeis noted, 'Stare decisis is usually the wise policy, because in most matters it is more important that the applicable rule of law be settled than it be settled right.'[8] … Amici submit that the joint employer doctrine is settled and it is 'settled right.'"[9]
The associations explain that contractor/subcontractor relationships are caught in the NLRB crosshairs:
"Equally problematic is the effect an expansive indirect control standard would have on the contractor/subcontractor relationship, potentially rendering many, if not most, contractor/subcontractor relationships 'joint employer' relationships. This would severely impair the manufacturing industry, as a substantial percentage of manufacturers contract with third parties to perform a wide variety of functions…"[10]
Alluding to the NLRB General Counsel's argument about franchisors explaining optimum times for franchisees to send workers home, the National Restaurant Association weighs in:
"A model franchisor often provides considerable business guidance and resources to its franchisees in order to help the franchise flourish and succeed while maintaining the franchisor's standards and enhancing its brand. This works to the advantage of all involved, including employees who benefit from that success.
The resources and guidance provided by franchisors, however, do not result in control of the franchisee employees' wages, hours, terms or conditions of employment; they do not amount to codetermination of the essential aspects of employment."[11]
The waste and recycling business highlights:
"It would be unreasonable to deem the primary waste company to be a joint employer of the subcontractor's employees, given that they are only indirectly and marginally affecting the other's employees. Indeed, the subcontractor's employees would likely have hundreds of other customers on their daily routes, and construing them to be jointly employed by the primary waste company simply because they service a single customer is both unreasonable and nonsensical."[12]
The associations make a good, final point about how the standard that the Teamsters want the Board to adopt would entail the Board abdicating its duties:
"Were the Board to adopt such an 'indirect control' standard it would, in effect, be abdicating its statutory responsibility to ensure its decisions 'are rationally based on articulated facts…', not 'conclusory rationales.' NLRB v. Yeshiva University, 442 U.S. 672, 691 (1980)."[13]
Driver Employer Council of America
The Driver Employer Council of America (DECA) starts its brief with a 1977 quotation of Bert Lance, President Jimmy Carter's Director of Office and Management and Budget:
"Bert Lance believes he can save Uncle Sam billions if he can get the government to adopt a single motto: "If it isn't broken, don't fix it." He explains: "That's the trouble with government: fixing things that aren't broken and not fixing things that are broken.[14]"[15]
The distribution/logistics companies represented by DECA employ drivers and support manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers. They key on the effect of a change:
"Manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers and certain other motor carriers who have historically depended on DECA-member firms may well adopt alternatives that have not been as efficient, effective or reflect overall control and impact over the employment relationships at issue."[16]
"[A]dopting an effective presumption of joint employer status and applying it to a huge volume of services arrangements throughout the economy would have dramatic and substantial effects."[17]
DECA directly pushes back against the brief of the EEOC:
"The reversal urged by the EEOC and other parties arguing for a return to the amorphous standard that characterized the Board approach prior to the TLI and Laerco holdings would not be justified by any dramatic changes in the nature of contracting relationships in the years since adoption of the Board's joint employer standard."[18]
"[T]he EEOC states that its test looks at factors similar to the factors currently being applied by the Board…and…that the outcome generally will find in favor of joint employer status.[19] Outside of demonstrating a clear bias towards a finding of joint employer relationships without regard to questions of direct and immediate impact on employment, the EEOC fails to adequately reflect the purposes and goals of the NLRA…"[20]
The Retail Litigation Center (RLC), in defending retailers across the country, goes right after the fudge factor of "industrial realities" and the misplaced indirect control proposed test:
"The 'industrial realities' test is simply unworkable: it asks whether the totality of the circumstances makes an entity a 'necessary party' to the collective bargaining process, but fails to provide a framework for answering that question. The 'indirect control' test contravenes the purpose of the Act because it would find joint-employer status outside of the statutory employer/employee relationship. Both standards ultimately undermine retailers' lawful and legitimate ability to contract with third-parties."[21]
RLC also finds a good, on-point quotation from former NLRB Member Craig Becker regarding the use of direct control versus indirect control as a criterion:
Even those who have more recently sought to broaden the definition of 'employee' under the Act recognize that such direct supervision is necessary. As former Board Member Craig Becker acknowledged, 'direct supervision constitutes the sine qua non of employment regulated by the law.' Labor Law Outside the Employment Relation, 74 Tex. L. Rev. 1527, 1539 (1996) (internal quotation marks omitted).
RLC points up the importance of a bright-line standard that provides certainty and predictability:
"The Board's reliance on a test that meaningfully affects matters relating to the employment relationship, such as hiring, firing, discipline, supervision, and direction, has provided certainty and predictability to retailers that frequently engage with third-party contractors. See Riverdale Nursing Home, Inc., 317 NLRB 881, 882 (1995); H.S. Care, LLC, 343 NLRB 659 (2004)."[22]
Lauding the existing bright-line standard, RLC writes:
"This fact-specific approach makes the most sense. Unlike the Union's amorphous "industrial realities" test or "indirect control" test, the Board's existing standard is straightforward to apply. Further, it is both "logical and functional." See Browning-Ferris Indus.[23], 691 F.2d at 1124."[24]
In criticizing this reprisal of Board Member Wilma Liebman's proposal to revamp the joint employer standard, RLC reminds us:
"The Union cites former Member Liebman's concurrence in Airborne Freight Co., 338 NLRB 597 (2002) to argue that the Board should abandon its precedent here[25]. The Board, however, soundly rejected former Member Liebman's recommendation in that case[26]:
Simply put, the Board's test for determining whether two separate entities should be considered to be joint employers with respect to a specific group of employees has been a matter of settled law for approximately twenty years. . . Thus, approximately 20 years ago, the Board, with court approval, abandoned its previous test in this area, which had focused on a putative joint-employer's indirect control over matters relating to the employment relationship . . . . We would not disturb settled law[27]."[28]
Apparent NLRB General Counsel Retreat is Only a Faint
Well after all of these amicus briefs were filed, National Labor Relations Board General Counsel Richard Griffin addressed[29] the joint employer controversy. During a recent speech on October 24, 2014, at the West Virginia University College of Law, he recounted his own brief in the case and his latest thinking.
Griffin appeared to back off the aggression evinced in his brief, presumably after feeling heat from employers across the country. Referring to the uproar when he authorized charging McDonald's as a joint employer, after all of the above briefs had been submitted for over a month, Griffin subtly stated, "[A] lot of noise was subsequently created."[30]
Speaking to franchisor protection of brand uniformity and quality, Griffin stated, "In that area we have a problem legally for our theory."[31] "So here we are arguing for a return to the traditional standard, and here are these cases that under the traditional standard find no joint employer in the franchisor-franchisee relationship,"[32] Griffin continued.
Griffin, in both his capacity as a Board Member and as General Counsel, has repeatedly pushed for thwarting precedent, but uncharacteristically claimed during the WVU appearance that he did not favor changing joint employer precedent[33] when necessary to protect brand uniformity and quality.
Properly understood, however, the General Counsel's apparent rhetorical faint should be seen as nothing more than sleight of hand. Business should not be lulled into believing that Griffin is softening.
Rather, a thorough examination of the General Counsel's brief in the BFI case clearly shows that Griffin intends to have the "typical" franchisor-franchisee relationship be considered a joint-employer relationship[34]. True protection of brand uniformity and quality would constitute a smaller minority of the cases.
Make no mistake: Griffin remains firm in proposing to change 30 years of precedent that necessitates "direct and immediate control" of workers in order for a business to be considered a joint employer. If the NLRB were to accept the General Counsel's proposal to move to "indirect" control or "potential" control or "industrial realities" as rationales for naming joint employers, the change would be sweeping and devastating for all sorts of businesses nationwide.
Business should not be tricked and must prepare for the worst.

I just shrugged it off as an innocent and fair-natured attempt to photograph from a different angle, to maybe talk down at a level to the little children, whose single-parent mom's at this site might find inspiring. Or...that I find it slightly askew is maybe my male sensors are detecting a female with a "tool-time" avatar.

"Offence," "defence, "licence," etc., are standard British spelling, guv'nor. Make sure you've got all your facts next time before you jump on somebody. British spelling is perfectly acceptable in unedited writing in the United States.

I never knew there were words like offense that was spelled different in the U.S. Vs England. Let alone others.

The one I routinely fall victim to is colour versus color.
I was taught colour all through school, because that's the way we roll here.
However, all of the major programming languages are in American-english, so you can imagine my confusion using colour commands in GW-BASIC (or nearly anything else) and getting Syntax errors and what-not.
I am a terrible speller. I get errors all the time. I think being here has helped a little but I understand what you mean..
To use of the word "dude" by a non-U.S.ian to a U.S.ian is a proper use of a surfer term, originating in the U.S.
It was to originally to differentiate a "cowboy" from the U.S. west, from his "city dude" counter-part, who moved out west and bought himself some "cowboy clothes", and immediately expected to fit in. The dude also took his new personae back with him to the city, to "pretend" to be a cowboy, for reasons to:
--impress the ladies.
--intimidate the city men.
It is appropriate from a westerner as myself, to find juxtaposition, and yes, offense**, in terminology of a "non- U.S.westerner trying to sound like a laid-back U.S. surfer, and using simultaneously the inappropriate pronoun.
It is perfectly acceptable for you do that and perfectly acceptable for me to cringe at the sound. Continue as you were. No harm done. Just saying. Cheerio. Pip pip. All in good fun. I say capital, what? The dingo ate my baby. You be right, bloke!
**Next time Frag, check your own site spell-checker...it changes "offence" to "offense"...blimey, it must be programmed in the states, hey partner!!
All the Ausies, Cannucks, and Marmalades owe me an apology, wouldn't you say? I'll accept a "get out of one ban" card in it's place, righto, James?
Next moderator in line...
Are you actually this ignorant? Or are you just putting on a special act for Sciforums readers?
God, I hope not. What basement level would that leave you at?
This doesn't even make sense as a response to my statement.
Do you actually think that usage of the word dude is confined to the US? (Answer: No, it isn't.)
Do you actually think that aspects of American popular culture have not been incoporated into British popular culture? (Answer: No, aspects of American culture have been widely disseminated throughout the globe.)
Do you think the word is exclusive to the American language? (Answer: No, the most likely origin is the abbreviation of a German word, among German settlers that means lazy fellow or foolish fellow.)
So there's nothing that can reasonably be infered from the use of Dude with the british spelling of Offence other than the fact that the poster lives in a UK-english speaking country and watches The Simpsons, has seen 'City Slickers' (which features a dude ranch), 'Dude, where's my car', 'That Seventies Show', nearly any Cheech and Chong movie, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Finding Nemo, or any other of literaly hundreds of pieces of TV, Movie or Literature that have been shown throughout the world since the end of World War 2.
The point being that usage of 'Dude' is not restricted to americans, and to assume it is is either conceited or ignorant.
(In fact the usage of 'Dude' and the concept of a 'Dude ranch' has been so widely disseminated outside of the United States that here in the country I live in, where we use the British spellings, we have an advertising campaign for a locally brewed band of Beer that is conceptually based on the 'dude ranch'. It has, of course been adapted to make it culturally relevant to this country, however the concept is that of a 'dude ranch'.)
Your lips are moving but no linguistic data for comparison. At this juncture we must leave it at the loose study of "dudes" and "duds" (slang for clothing) may be related to cowboys making fun of fancy Eastern city men's clothing.
You have every right and opportunity to adjust that with further study.
This doesn't even make any sense.
What 'linguistic data' do you expect to be spoon-fed?
Must I go and bring forward word origin data from Euro languages to help you build a reason to be moving your jaws? Are you THAT helpless? Must I carry both sides of the conversation? Doesn't sound like much incentive for me here.
No offense dude, but...Next.
Do so for dude and you will find this:
Trippy said: ↑
...the most likely origin [of dude] is the abbreviation of a German word, among German settlers that means lazy fellow or foolish fellow...
Much of the rest of what I've had to say has been illustrating how widely disseminated the word is outside the US, and giving some specific examples.
But hey, if that level of discussion is too highbrow for you...

Your "get out of ban free" card only exists in your own mind.
Other people breaking the site rules (if that happens) doesn't give you free reign to also break them. Two wrongs don't make a right.

You lie! You've never been in a hot tub!
Epictetus, Jul 2, 2012
Oh no, you don't get off that easy. You just gave me but one more reason to mark MacGyver1968's original "dude" remark as a flame. I think that warrants another "get out of one ban free card". Reading this, James?
Does anyone else want to work on my future "ban-free" status level?
Anyone please...next. Let's return to the OP subject before more feet go to mouth.
:facepalm:
(kudos to MacGyver1968, the only guy to apologize. Hats off to you, sir.)
You're saying you took offence at being called 'Dude' because of it's origin, inspite of the evolution of its meaning and its widespread colloquial usage?
Dude... Really?

Before the last few hundred years the English language had no fixed system of spelling rules. For that reason, spelling variations occurred commonly in Anglo Norman surnames. Over the years, many variations of the name Herron were recorded, including Herron, Heron and others.
More information is included under the topic Early Herron Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Some of the Herron family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt.

Žákovská motivace zvyšuje efektivitu učení, což směřuje k lepším výsledkům, ale také klade důraz na rozvoj potřeb, zájmů a dalších regulačních zkušeností. Žákovská motivace se rozlišuje na dva typy – vnitřní a vnější. Ve škole tuto dvojí roli nemůžeme rozdělit. U každého žáka se obě role motivace propojují, a pro učitele to znamená, že může pracovat s oběma typy. Žáky ve škole motivuje především pedagog. Motivuje je buď vědomě, kdy žákům uzpůsobuje podmínky pro učení, ale také nevědomě, při komunikaci a práci s dětmi.

Vnitřní motivace
V rámci vnitřní motivace se motivujeme se zájmem pro danou věc, buď proto, že se chceme učit novým věcem nebo jen proto, že děláme to, co nás baví. Následně jsme odměněni sebeuspokojujícím vnitřním pocitem, že jsme to dokázali. Příkladem může být dítě, které vidí krásně barevnou hračku. Ta ho velice zaujala a vzbudila v dítěti zájem a potřebu objevování.

Vnější motivace
U vnější motivace jsme spíše pobízeni k činnostem, o které my sami nemáme příliš vysoký zájem. Nevzniká potřeba se něco naučit nebo objevovat. Odměnou je pro nás pochvala či třeba dobrá známka. Jako příklad může být dítě, které si hraje s hračkami, protože se nudilo, protože nemělo dostatečně uspokojenou potřebu aktivity.

Motivační proces
Motivace je proces závislý na vnitřních a vnějších faktorech jedince. Na motivaci ve výchovně vzdělávacím procesu můžeme nahlížet ve dvojím smyslu, a to jako na možnost zvýšení efektivity činnosti žáků ve vyučování (děti se více hlásí, komunikují s učitelem, spolupracují) a jako na cíl školy (uskutečnění učebních cílů).

Motivační procesy u žáků jsou ve většině případů složité. Když se u žáků setká více potřeb (rychlé rozhodnutí, potřeba se napít, dopsat si zadání…) vzniklá situace obsahuje současně pozitivní a negativní hodnotu. V rámci školní úspěšnosti jsou žáci ovlivňováni převážně k pozitivním a úspěšným výkonům (pochopení učiva, získání výborného hodnocení…), ale v některých případech i k neúspěchům a žákovskému selhání (za nesplněný úkol dostane žák "pětku"). Nejsilněji ovlivňuje žákovské učení vnitřní motivace, která má velký vliv na kvalitu učení.

Žákovská motivace a její klíčové pojmy
Klíčové pojmy:

 Motivace – intrapsychický proces zvýšení aktivity; pohnutka k jednání
 Motiv – jednání člověka zaměřené na uspokojení určitých potřeb a splnění cíle
 Potřeba – výchozí motivační stav vyjadřující nějaký nedostatek nebo přebytek
 Zájem – trvalejší vztah jedince k činnostem, které má spojené s příjemnými pocity
 Incentiva – vnější podněty, které vzbuzují naši pozornost
 Vůle – úmysl nebo záměr k dosažení stanoveného cíle

Žákovská amotivace
V souvislosti s žákovskou motivací, velmi úzce souvisí i žákovská nemotivovanost neboli amotivace. Ta vyjadřuje absenci motivace k vykonávání činnosti ve škole. Objevuje se tehdy, kdy si žák nedůvěřuje, nevěří ve vlastní schopnosti, nevynakládá dostatečné úsilí, protože zastává názor, že je to k dosažení pozitivních výsledků zbytečné, že jeho snaha nebude úspěšná. Studenti se bojí vlastního selhání, a proto se spíše demotivují.

How business really works
Alternative Energy vs. Energy Efficiency: Not What You Might Think
Currently the U.S. is the worlds largest user of energy. A variety of energy sources are used, but currently alternative sources meet only a small portion of the total demand.
Looking at the flow of energy from its sources to its uses provides an interesting perspective. Transportation and electrical production consume a significant portion of inputs, however, there is significant waste. What is labeled as "Rejected Energy" in the picture below is waste in the form of electrical generating and distribution losses, waste heat and other inefficiencies. While less glamorous than building out new renewable sources, reducing systemic energy waste may ultimately yield larger benefits.
As the global economy grows the focus on alternatives and efficiency improvements need to shift towards the burgeoning economies of China and India, which together already consume more energy than the U.S.

Jorge Liberato Kardinal Urosa Savino (* 28. August 1942 in Caracas, Venezuela; † 23. September 2021 ebenda) war ein venezolanischer Geistlicher und römisch-katholischer Erzbischof von Caracas.

Leben
Urosa wurde 1942 in Caracas geboren und wuchs in Kanada auf. Nach dem Studium der katholischen Theologie unter anderem an der Päpstlichen Universität Gregoriana empfing Urosa am 15. August 1967 durch José Kardinal Quintero Parra das Sakrament der Priesterweihe. Anschließend war er zunächst Professor, später Rektor des Seminars San José in Caracas. Vor seiner Bischofsernennung war Urosa Generalvikar des Erzbistums Caracas.

Papst Johannes Paul II. ernannte ihn am 3. Juli 1982 zum Titularbischof von Vegesela in Byzacena und zum Weihbischof in Caracas. Die Bischofsweihe spendete ihm der Erzbischof von Caracas José Alí Lebrún Moratinos am 22. September desselben Jahres; Mitkonsekratoren waren Domingo Roa Pérez, Erzbischof von Maracaibo, und Miguel Antonio Salas Salas, Erzbischof von Mérida. 1990 wurde er zum Erzbischof von Valencia in Venezuela berufen.

Papst Benedikt XVI. ernannte ihn am 19. September 2005 zum Erzbischof von Caracas, bestätigt 2014 und Primas von Venezuela. Im feierlichen Konsistorium am 24. März 2006 nahm ihn der Papst als Kardinalpriester mit der Titelkirche Santa Maria ai Monti in das Kardinalskollegium auf. Bereits im Januar 2006 war Urosa Vizepräsident der venezolanischen Bischofskonferenz geworden.

Er war erster Großprior der 2011 neu gegründeten Statthalterei Venezuela des Ritterordens vom Heiligen Grab zu Jerusalem.

Am 9. Juli 2018 nahm Papst Franziskus sein aus Altersgründen vorgebrachtes Rücktrittsgesuch an. Papst Franziskus bestellte Baltazar Enrique Kardinal Porras Cardozo als Apostolischen Administrator des Erzbistums Caracas.

Kardinal Urosa erkrankte im September 2021 an COVID-19 und musste zuletzt auf der Intensivstation künstlich beatmet werden. Er erlag am 23. September 2021 den Folgen der Erkrankung.

Politisches Engagement
Im April 2002 veröffentlichte Urosa einen Artikel, in dem er den Putsch vom 12. April 2002 rechtfertigte.

Als Erzbischof von Caracas galt er als einer der aktivsten Kritiker von Venezuelas Präsident Hugo Chávez, dessen Weg zur "Bolivarischen Revolution" er massiv rügte, wie beispielsweise den Sendelizenzentzug für den Privatsender Radio Caracas TV. Des Weiteren protestierte er gegen ein von der Regierung angeordnetes Alkoholverbot während der Karwoche, da "gegen ein Glas Wein zum Essen in einem Restaurant nichts einzuwenden sei", wie auch gegen den Vergleich, den Chávez anlässlich des Papstbesuches in Brasilien machte: Er verglich die Christianisierung Lateinamerikas mit dem Holocaust, woraufhin der Erzbischof den Präsidenten aufforderte, sich lieber alltäglichen Problemen wie der Armut und Erziehung zu widmen, statt längst vergangenen Ereignissen nachzugehen. Diese offene Kritik am Staatsoberhaupt Venezuelas, der der Kirche Verschwörung vorwarf, machte ihn landesweit populär.
Der Kardinal fiel auf durch scharfe Kritik an der Regierungsmethode Chávez´, so bestätigte er bei einer Anhörung vor dem Parlament seine Vorwürfe gegen Präsident Hugo Chávez: dessen Regierung strebe eine kommunistische Diktatur an und habe wiederholt gegen die Verfassung verstoßen.

Mitgliedschaften in der römischen Kurie
Jorge Liberato Kardinal Urosa Savino war Mitglied folgender Dikasterien der römischen Kurie:
 Kongregation für den Klerus (seit 2008, bestätigt 2014)
 Päpstlicher Rat für Gerechtigkeit und Frieden (ab 2006, bestätigt 2014)
 Päpstlicher Rat für die Kultur (ab 2009)
 Päpstliche Kommission für Lateinamerika (ab 2006, bestätigt 2014)
 Rat der Kardinäle für organisatorische und ökonomische Probleme des Heiligen Stuhls (ab 2009)
