Jose Mourinho has turned Manchester United into a team that supporters can be proud of again. The Red Devils are on a lengthy unbeaten run in all competitions and have one eight out of their last nine Premier League games.
United visit Stoke on Saturday afternoon and must be confident of picking up another result and potentially leapfrogging Manchester City to move into 5th position.
That'd be significant progress given that United were thought to be cut adrift of their city rivals just over a month ago. Things are looking good for United to launch an assault on the much coveted Champions League positions.
Crucial to their recent form has been their record-breaking French international midfielder Paul Pogba. The 23-year old has looked worth every penny of the world record fee that brought him to Old Trafford last summer.
As this stat from Squawka shows, he's better than anyone in penetrating opposition defences this season. No-one else has completed more through balls.
It's that kind of dynamic forward passing that has allowed the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic to score so many goals this season. With four assists and six goals himself, he's no slouch in front of goal.
That partnership with Ibrahimovic is something United fans will hope to see flourish further when they make Saturday's trip to Stoke.


The Book Nerds love us some Josephine Angelini! She is super adorable and super sweet and we loved the Starcrossed series! So we were very excited to get our hands on Trial By Fire at BEA this year. (Especially Jacque, who had flight issues and literally walked into the hall and straight to this line.) We decided to wait to review it until around its publication date.
It's a very cool concept. Lily Proctor is a teenager in Salem, Massachusetts. She had a Very Bad Day and the next thing you know -- voila! She is in alternate universe. And the crazy thing is, a version of herself exists in this universe! In fact, it is she who pulled Lily here. And not only Lily -- her mother, sister, and best friend also exist in this alternate universe. Craziness!
But for some reason, I had a bit of a hard time getting through it. I think that while this alternate universe is a a really cool concept that I like, it also took a lot of exposition to set it up. I mean, there was action and things happened, but it really was a lot of Rowan just explaining things to Lily. And I understand why, because by the end I really did feel like I had a strong sense of the world -- like I was there. I am looking forward to how this plays out for Lily and Rowan. And even more so -- I am super curious to know more about Lillian. I think that's another thing I was missing. We learn at the beginning (and later as well) that she feels like she did what she had to do -- but why?! I really wanted to get into her head, and I really hope we get to do that in the next book.
I have to agree with Flo that the concept is great. Witches are the rulers of the cities in the new universe. They can convert heat into energy to power the cities, grow food, heal the sick, etc. Josephine did a remarkable job of incorporating the history of the Salem Witch Trials into this very unique story. As much as I wanted to love this book, it was a slow read for me.
A good story, in my opinion, is built around the relationships between the characters. For a large portion of this book there were trust issues, so the relationships were slow to develop. Also, Lily had a lot to learn about witchcraft and how things worked in the new world. This required a lot of detailed explanation which at times was lengthy and confusing.
On a positive note, I did find the ending to be very exciting. If the sequel picks up where this book left off, we should have a continuous progression to the story without all of the history lessons. I also hope there will be more to the romance to help keep the pages turning. If both of those things happen, I think it was well worth persevering through Trial By Fire. This series has a lot of potential and I look forward to seeing what will happen next.

Unless you have been living in a doomsday bunker, you have seen the stories of people in clown costumes terrorizing neighborhoods across the United States. These folks aren't just draping themselves in red foam noses and floppy shoes. This is a full-scale creep fest. If you need a visual, just imagine Bozo the Clown, only now he's just had a bad chemical peel from the local aesthetician, and picked up a heroin addiction. I would post a photo here, but since an estimated 12% of the population has coulrophobia (fear of clowns), I'm afraid I'd lose readers.
And that was my fatal mistake.
I searched online for stories about the clowns, trying to prove my point. As my son watched over my shoulder, I scrolled through story after story. Most of them concluded that the clown epidemic was just a bunch of whackos trying to scare people with their costumes. And while we didn't find a single story of a clown committing an act of violence, we did see plenty of pictures of nightmarish clowns.
How can this hold so much power over us?
When I look at the emotional climate in our world today, I start to feel disheartened. As the election approaches, the air is filled with rancor. Vitriol. Blame and bluster. Usually it all stays within the confines of the talking heads on TV or the megaphones on the radio, but now it has slipped past the guards into our workplaces, ball fields and homes.
Like the clowns, robbing us of our joy.
Because we treat our candidates like God.
We defend them, adore them, and advocate for them as if our very souls depended on their success. And though they are far away from us, we give them power over us. Forgetting that a leader is just a human being. Flawed like the rest of us.
When we allow our passion for principles to devolve into accusations, insults, and painting others with a broad brush, we render things to Ceasar that simply aren't his. We grant power to politicians that they should not have.
The power to sever friendships.
The power to destroy family relationships.
The power to divide our communities.
Because in three weeks, all but one of these candidates will be gone, but your Uncle Bob is still coming to Thanksgiving dinner. Your flesh-and blood. So, by allowing these three-strand cords to be broken, we are giving our very selves over to government leaders. But there's just one problem.
We don't belong to Caesar.
So today I pray we can move beyond the politics of Us and Them and truly follow Christ. The One who demonstrated he understood others before offering advice. The One who surrounded himself with those who were far different from him. The One who was able to boil down a complex set of rules and laws into one simple thing.
Because Christ knew what we all know in our hearts. No one has ever been browbeaten into believing. Whether or not we agree with one another, we are all children of God. Formed in his image. And worthy of love. A love that sacrifices self for the betterment of the other. We must start there.
So let us reverse the erosion by showing the world that we are His disciples. Share a kind word. Open a door. Pick up a check. Smile at a stranger. Commit to understanding before advising. Ask to hear the story behind the position, and then truly listen.
But most of all, let's love one another. Without condition. Without regret.
And find our joy once again.

Q: How do I use Unity drag handles? I saw on this post that Unity has touch enabled drag handles. How do I turn them on so I can use them with a mouse?

A: The Unity multitouch grab handles plugin ships with Unity. It is activated by a three finger press on a touch screen. You can toggle it by repeatably tapping three fingers on your touchscreen.
You can use it with a mouse by toggling the plugin on and off. To ensure the plugin is enabled, do the following:

*

*Start the CompizConfig Setting Manager: Press Alt + F2 to open the run dialog, type ccsm, and press Enter (if that doesn't work, you probably need to install the package compizconfig-settings-manager first).

*The grab handle plugin will only work correctly, if the Png plugin is enabled, so scroll down to the Image Loading section and make sure Png is ticked:

(source: xrmb2.net)

*Now scroll further down to the Uncategorized section and tick the Unity MT Grab Handles plugin:

(source: xrmb2.net)

*By default, there is no shortcut defined to initiate the handles, so click on the Unity MT Grab Handles button to configure the shortcut (and also the fade duration, if you like):

(source: xrmb2.net)

*Next to Toggle Handles click on the Disabled button and tick the Enable checkbox:

(source: xrmb2.net)

*Now click on Grab key combination and press the desired shortcut:

(source: xrmb2.net)

*Confirm and close the CompizConfig Setting Manager. Now you should see the handles like in the picture in the question when using the shortcut you just defined.

All my life I have found creative ways to incorporate service to others into my professional life. From being a chiropractic assistant to managing special projects for my company – BNI, and leading the prayer ministry at my church, my one question has always been, "How can I help you?" I want to know what I can do that will make things better for those whom I support and encourage. When my husband, BNI Founder and CVO, Ivan Misner, was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2012, I found that my education, experiences, and professional certifications were called upon together to help him heal naturally. Within the year, he was in complete remission. Not long after that, I received my own diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer, from which I also completely healed, naturally, within the year of diagnosis (2017).
Life herself has schooled me in the ways of Abundant Health, and my focus now is sharing with others as they find they have need of this specific skill set.
Givers Gain has been a way of life for me, whether on a small scale, like picking up aluminum cans on the eastern Tennessee roadways where I grew up and cashing them in for the scouting program at my church and donating gently used business suits to the House of Ruth for women to wear for job interviews, or on a larger scale, such as being named the Humanitarian of the Year for the Red Cross for disaster relief support after Hurricane Katrina and building schools in the slums of Bangalore through Building Blocks and in Kenya at the Little Rock Orphanage.
Currently I am involved with two non-profit foundations – the BNI Foundation, for which I am the co-founder, and the Misner Family Foundation for which I am the administrator.
The BNI Foundation has been given its mandate from BNI members together with me and Ivan, as the co-founders: we support children and education. Business Voices is an initiative which takes the best of all of us and weaves it together to create an awareness of what the needs are in education today to business professionals whose mantra is also "How can I help you?" It shows us how easy it is to be a positive part of someone else's story. And it has its own kind of emotional rewards for those who engage in learning how to be great noble networkers.
The Misner Family Foundation has a few areas of focus as decided upon by me and Ivan and our three adult kids, Ashley, Cassandra and Trey. Our primary focus is on Nutritional Medical Research, but we adopt other projects as a family.

I would like to welcome you and your family to Mesquite Elementary School. We are committed to doing all we can to make each school year a positive and successful experience for every student. We firmly believe that a home/school partnership is necessary for the success of all of our students. Learning is not an easy process, it involves sharing ideas, sometimes making mistakes (and learning from them), and experiencing new things. Learning also involves hard work and perseverance by everyone: the teacher, the parent, the principal, and most importantly, the student.
At Mesquite, we value and challenge each student and provide opportunities for success. Instruction is based on the Arizona College and Career Ready Standards. You will quickly discover that Mesquite Elementary is a student-centered learning community committed to developing students that are proficient readers, conceptually understand math, and are global thinkers. We also focus on lifelong learning skills, which include equipping our students to be collaborative workers, self-directed learners, participants in society, information processors, effective communicators, and complex thinkers. Our students' success is at the center of all we do.
Ensure that your child is at school and on time every day.
Monitor your child's homework/handouts daily.
Stay in close contact with his/her teacher.
In addition, there are numerous volunteer opportunities in which we welcome you to become involved. Volunteers make a tremendously positive impact on and enrich our educational programs. Please consider supporting our school in this way. Our goal is to collaborate with each of you in assisting our children to reach their maximum potential. More information regarding the PTO and volunteering at Mesquite can be found on this website.
I look forward to partnering with you to make this an exciting and successful year for our students. Thank you in advance for your support and commitment. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at (928) 373-4100 or KBurns@craneschools.org.
I am honored to have this opportunity to briefly introduce myself to you. My name is Karen Burns, and I have the privilege of being the Principal of Mesquite Elementary School. I have been in the Crane School District for the last twenty years. I am elated for the opportunity to provide exciting and challenging enrichment opportunities for all our students and to work with you as a partner to ensure your child's success.
As I'm sure you will agree, the education of our children is very important. During my years as a teacher, and later, an administrator, I have often thought of the quote "It takes a village to raise a child." Now, as I work hard as Principal to continue the legacy of success established at Mesquite Elementary, I realize the education of children is a demanding job, best accomplished with the assistance of parents and the surrounding community. I encourage parents and community members to be active participants in the education of our students. My door is always open, and I would love to hear from you. One of the easiest ways to participate in the education of our students is to maintain effective lines of communication. We welcome ideas and volunteers as well. If you have concerns, comments, or would like to volunteer, please feel free to email me at: KBurns@craneschools.org.


You're ready to sell your current home, but haven't considered what will happen to your solar panels? Are you wondering whether they will reduce or increase your home value? This post will enlighten you on how to make selling a house with solar panels possible and how to tackle the various problems that may surface.
Solar panels are an extremely good asset to have for your home. Mainly because you're doing your bit for the environment. A great bonus, however, is that you receive payments from the 'Feed in Tariff' which is made to households that generate their own electricity through solar panels and other energy-saving methods, proportionate to the total power produced.
The Feed in Tariff (FIT) is paid for around 20-25 years, depending on when the panels were installed. Therefore, if you sell your property after you've 'paid them off' and received some interest from the solar panels, it is likely that there will be many more years of FIT payments to come – which is appealing to potential buyers.
Solar panels reduce energy bills by a huge chunk, which is a great bonus for whoever buys your home, as they will not have to pay high bills.
It is an eco-friendly method of generating energy which is beneficial for the planet as it avoids having to use the scarce natural resources our planet has left. We all want to do our bit for the environment, including potential home-buyers.
The energy performance certificate grade usually goes up by 2 grades due to the installed solar panels. This is beneficial for any home and will certainly attract purchasers.
When is the Best Time for Selling a House with Solar Panels?
The best time to sell a house with solar panels is typically after you've reaped a lot of the benefits that solar panels have to offer. Mainly the FIT payments and the low energy bills. If you bought your solar panels (instead of having them installed for free from various solar panel companies), then it takes roughly 7-8 years to come even with the investment. So, from 8-15 years after having installed the solar panels, is the time to sell your house, if you wish to do so. This is because, whoever buys your home next, will still be able to benefit from them. Solar panels typically have 20 years warranty too, which will further appeal to potential buyers.
The process is much simpler if you own the solar panels on the roof of your home. This is because it means that you are not tied down with any contracts that you must pass to the potential new owners of your home. The decision you must make, however, is if you would like to take your solar panels with you to your next home. If that is the case, do not forget that you will need to pay a lot of money (ranging from £2,500 – £7,500) to have the solar panels removed and reinstalled to your new home. Furthermore, you need to double check that you can logistically and legally fix them on a new roof – so be sure to check this before you make any irrational decisions.
If you decide that you do not want to keep the solar panels and leave them fixed to the house you want to sell, it's likely that the house will sell without a problem. The main problems selling a house with solar panels occur if you've had solar panels installed for free.
This is a bit trickier. This is because the solar panels were installed for free but for the price of the solar panel company owning the roof of the house. This can put off some home-buyers. So, there are two realistic options that you can go through with – either buy off the lease from the solar company before you sell your home to avoid problems, or simply transfer the lease to the home buyers if they are happy to do so. If you have further problems selling a house with solar panels, and need to sell your home fast – why not sell your house with us?
Check all documentation that you have from when the solar panels were installed, make sure you have all the facts and figures that you need to either pass on the lease or to have as proof for the next home-owners.
Be sure that, before you put your house on the market, the solar panels are in perfect condition and that they are still working.
If you are receiving FIT payments, be sure to keep the proof of how much you roughly save each month, to be able to prove it to potential home buyers as this will interest them greatly and may convince them to buy.
Find an estate agent that has experience with selling homes with solar panels and is aware of their true value.
Consider selling your house with SellHouseFast as we buy any house, in any condition and can complete the whole process in up to 28 days.
Keep in mind that if you install solar panels after the 31st March 2019, that you will not receive the Feed in Tariff, which may make selling your home harder in the long run as home owners will not receive the full perks of having solar panels.

Full Plans For 387-Unit Midtown 8, Designed By Stantec
July 13, 2016 ·1 Comment
Atlanta developer Wood Partners and Midtown Opportunities have submitted plans for Midtown 8.
The project will include:
387 apartments
29,549 sq. ft. commercial/retail
389,989 sq. ft. total FLR
Stantec is the project architect, and the UDRB will review the plans this month.
A representative of the developer describes the project:
The Property's location on the Southeastem edge of the District affords the Project unparalleled exposure from the South, including from Wynwood and Edgewater. The Applicant successfully designed the Project to embody the District's core tenants of practicality, approachability, and utility. The outcome is a refined mixed-use development with 387 residential units and 389,989 +/- square feet of floor area ratio, featuring ground floor retail along Midtown Boulevard and Northeast 29th Street, a thin profiled twenty-eight (28) story residential tower, and a separate parking and amenity structure located on the east side of the Property. The residential amenity facilities are located on top of the parking structure, thus shielding the use below. Floors 2 – 9 of the garage are directly accessible from the residential tower via an open air bridge on each floor. Unique to this Project, Applicant created an open air driveway in the center of the project for vehicular and pedestrian access, thus breaking up the Project's massing.
The parking structure is elaborately screened while still complying with Florida Building Code Sec. 406.5.2, which requires 20% of the exterior walls remain exposed to ensure ventilation. The height of the easternmost portion of the parking structure is 75 feet. The parking structure is then setback an additional 15 feet for the remaining height of the structure. The multilayered design successfully breaks up the massing of the structure.
It is important to mention that the Property's eastem boundary abuts private property owned by Florida East Coast Industries ("FECI"). The FECI property is used as a railroad corridor for the trains. Generally speaking, railroad corridors are "dark" areas unsafe for pedestrians due to the passing trains and possible debris. Notwithstanding the inherent lack of activity in the area, Applicant added several design and operational enhancements at the ground level to activate and improve the existing corridor along the FECI rail line. Specifically, the ground level, which the Applicant is voluntarily opening to the public, boasts a lushly-landscaped linear park, complete with a dog park and citiBIKE rack. The background to this new public park area will contain an art wall, which will be visible and enjoyed by the entire neighborhood, including passing trains, and in keeping with the District's resolve to constantly enhance the District's aesthetics.
The Project's configuration and design seamlessly integrate the District's intent for pedestrian-oriented commercial activity and upper level residential uses in a live-work culture. The ground floor is dominated by a strong retail presence featuring sleek floor to ceiling glass walls, lush landscaping and passive pedestrian benches throughout the public sidewalk area. Residential uses begin on the second floor and are contained in a thinly profiled tower significantly setback from the Property lines. The tower contains a minimal footprint relative to the size of the Property, thus maintaining open view corridors for neighboring developments.
Unique to this Project is the internal vehicular circulation route for parking. Internalizing the driveway in this fashion effectively conceals vehicular parking operations from the pedestrian environment and adjacent properties. Furthermore, the Applicant optimized the pedestrian experience by locating the parking garage on the eastern side of the Property, hidden by Northeast 29th Street and Midtown Boulevard, which are primary frontages.

Midtown was such an important catalyst..looks like it's nearing completion.


CRH, one of Ireland's largest building materials group has divested from Israel after ongoing pressure from Palestine solidarity activists. Since 2001, the company had 25 per cent of shares in the Israeli cement firm Mashav, owner of Israel's top cement manufacturer Nesher, but in a recent BDS victory CRH have sold their shares with the Israeli company.
Nesher helped during the construction of Israel's Wall in the West Bank, which was declared illegal by the International Court of Justice in 2004. In addition, Nesher cement has been used in constructing illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank and in the light rail network connecting Israeli settlements in East Jerusalem.
Orange and Veolia have also recently taken a step towards justice and divested from Israel. This marks a growing trend of support from the international community in pressuring multinational companies that are complicit in the occupation. O' Quigley further highlighted that CRH's divestment is one of many recent high profile victories for the BDS campaign. "'Brand Israel', it seems, is becoming increasingly toxic and it appears that international companies are eventually learning that it doesn't pay to do business with the Apartheid state", he added.


I recently discovered that the fun thing about having your friends randomly stock your kitchen is that it simulates a sort of Iron Chef competition: what delicious food can I make by combining what is on hand? Inspired by what we found, this afternoon for lunch my husband and I put together five-spice sesame crusted pork chops with asparagus in spicy orange sauce on the side. Not only was this a delicious, healthy meal, but we were able to put the entire thing together in less than 15 minutes. Now, I believe good food is worth the wait, but good food without a lot of fuss? Can't be beat. So consider this healthy, delicious and quick meal as a great option for restaurant quality food on a night when you are a bit harried.
So how did we come to have our kitchen stocked by our friends? If you follow this blog, you know that this past week we finally returned home after six months of living in Ghana (West Africa). We returned home to a wonderful surprise. Our friends had decorated our house for all the holidays we missed, so a box of stuffing (for Thanksgiving) sat next to a heart-shaped balloon (for Valentines) which was next to a pile of candy-filled Easter Eggs. It was nothing short of amazing. But just when we thought we had seen all the surprises up their sleeves, we looked over and saw a bright sticky note on the fridge. Our amazing friends had completely stocked our kitchen with all of our favorite foods.
This is the sort of thing that gets a food-lover all choked up. Terry and I stood over the open fridge cooing like a couple of new parents. Oh look! Hummous. Oooo fresh strawberries. Oh wow, zucchini. English muffins and marmalade! On and on it went, until: oooo, a pair of pork chops.
The rest is one part imagination, on part inspiration, and one part availability.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine marmalade, salt and five spice powder. Brush spiced marmalade on one side of each pork chop. Put sesame seeds on a plate. Press the marmalade side of the chop into the sesame seeds to coat.
Heat the oil in an oven-proof pan (I prefer using a cast-iron skillet). Add the chops to the pan seed-side down and saute until seeds are golden, about 4 minutes. Flip the chops and move the pan to the oven until cooked through, approximately 10 minutes.
*Substitutions: you can replace the dried ginger with fresh ginger. Fresh is always delicious if you have it on hand. You can also replace the dried chipotle flakes with jarred chipotle or with another fresh spicy pepper of your choice.
Trim the bottoms of the asparagus. Cut into thirds. Steam until still firm but bright green (stalks will further soften while cooking in the sauce).
Finely chop garlic. Heat sesame oil in a pan on medium until warm. Add garlic and pepper flakes (oil should not be so hot that it sparks when garlic is added). If using fresh ginger, add the ginger to the pan with the garlic. If using dried ginger, add it to the marmalade mixture below. Saute on medium until garlic softens and is fragrant. Be sure not to cook too high or the garlic will burn and become bitter. Add the steamed asparagus stalks and saute for 3 minutes.
While asparagus cooks, whisk together marmalade, juice, vinegar. Add the sauce to the pan, reduce heat to medium low and simmer covered until asparagus is al dente, approximately 5-8 minutes.
To Plate: Place a pork chop on the plate, sesame side up. Spoon the asparagus next to the chop, with some stalks leaning against the meat. Spoon some of the thickened spicy orange sauce onto the meat and asparagus. Then drizzle some of the sauce in a circle around the perimeter of the plate. Delicious with iced ginger tea or white wine (such as Riesling).
This recipe is inspired by Cuisine at Home's "Sesame Crusted Pork Chops with Orange-Sweet Potato Stir-fry" with heavy modification. I am submitting it to CookThink's Root Source Challenge: Pork Chops.
It looks like we both had pork chops on our mind...great use of the 5-spice.
I love 5-spice, although it is a relatively new addition to my seasoning repertoire. Jamie Oliver has an amazing (and easy) recipe for 5-spice scallops on a bed of asparagus and leeks.
sigh...can you just come and live with us for the summer and be our personal chef???
marta-yes indeed. that is a lovely plan. lets do it!
Now that looks GOOD! I never thought of orange with asparagus-yum!
And about your homemade pizza dough and homemade cinnamon rolls-I am definitely checking taht out today! Thanks!
And I just stocked up on pork chops for the month. Now I know what to do with them. :P Looking forward to reading more here. This meal is a perfect fit for the slow carb diet that Tim Ferris talks about on his blog.
Becky-Glad you like the idea. I was pretty pleased myself how it turned out.
I may start to like orange yet (I've always been a lemon person) This sounds delicious!
sound delicious. always looking for new ways to cut down meal prep time.
oh, that was really nice of them!!
pork chops are delicious, asparagus are my fave and who doesn't love oranges!? great recipe... can't wait to try it!
Phillip-It sounds like if there were a carb restricted diet that I could like, a slow/moderated approach would be best. glad to hear it is working for you! always nice to find a healthy pattern of eating that works its way into a comfortable and happy habit.
Katie-I love all citrus but I find my passions switch over the course of the year. Actually at some point in Feb to March I become a monster for grapefruit. I have a killer grapefruit tart (I know, a bit unconventional). But I can appreciate a love of lemons.
Savvy and Antonio, I'm glad you could find something that sounds good. I was definitely impressed with how fast it all came together for something that looked and tasted "fussy" in the end.
Erin, that is some great looking, delicious food!
Erin - I tried both of these last night with stupendous results, except for one thing, I cam to the end of the process and was left staring at a tsp of ground ginger. Could you kindly tell me at what part of the process you added the ginger to the asparagus?
Bob: good catch. Sorry I omitted that. sorry you were left staring at your ginger.
If using fresh ginger, add the ginger to the pan with the garlic. If using dried ginger, add it to the marmalade mixture.

Q: How to make the function only runs once JS How to make the function only runs once per button?
if clicks in "click me" only works once, and the same for the other buttons.
Order not to put much code, I put an example..:
http://jsbin.com/apexod/2/edit
<input type="button" value="click me" onclick="hello('Jhon')">

<input type="button" value="click me1" onclick="hello('Gerard')">

<input type="button" value="click me2" onclick="hello('Kaoru')">

A: A solution would be to register what buttons have been clicked :

(another one would be to use a utility lib like jQuery and its one function but this would be overkill for just that)

A: You can send the button element reference along to the function, and remove the event from the button:
<input type="button" value="click me" onclick="hello(this,'Jhon')">

<input type="button" value="click me1" onclick="hello(this,'Gerard')">

<input type="button" value="click me2" onclick="hello(this,'Kaoru')">

Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/Guffa/CDjGY/

A: Once executed you can override the function with an empty function
function hello(){
     alert("hello " + id);
     hello = function(){}
}

Time Management Proves Key for ER Nurse Andrew Sullivan '19
January 16th, 2020 | Student News
Time management is one trait which is essential to a nurse working in an emergency room. Andrew Sullivan, a 2019 B.S.N. graduate learned this early on in his nursing classes. It made him a nurse who can expertly handle five different situations at once.
"There is no typical day," Andrew explains. "You have a block of four to five rooms, and those rooms are yours for the entire shift. So whoever is assigned to that room is your patient." I've dealt with everything from cardiac arrest, people cutting their fingers off with saws, chest pain, strokes…it's just whatever they come in for."
Sullivan grew up in Huntington, N.Y., on Long Island, and it was in his hometown that he first became involved with emergency services. He joined the local fire department at the age of 12 as a junior firefighter, and then joined the local First Aid Squad as an EMS explorer at age 16. With an extensive background in volunteer emergency services, Andrew knew he wanted to work in the ER.
After graduating from Immaculata, Andrew interviewed for the nurse residency program and asked to be assigned to the ER for his six-month residency at Capital Health's Hopewell Hospital in New Jersey. During his residency in the ER, he is taking classes to learn additional clinical skills, and splitting the patient load with his preceptor, who is an experienced staff nurse who serves as a role model and point person for newly employed nurses.
The countless hours that Andrew and his classmates spent in the simulation labs at Immaculata gave him the experience and confidence with assessment and communication that are necessary for the profession. Effective communication is important, especially when speaking with patients and family members. The courses in Immaculata's pre-licensure nursing program created a strong foundation for Andrew. In addition to the clinical components of the nursing classes, he appreciates that Immaculata offers Concepts in Nursing Leadership and Management, which taught him to delegate tasks and work with others to solve problems, and, of course, it taught him time management skills. Transition into Holistic Nursing Practice class, which helps students transition to the role of professional nurse during their final semester, provided 120 hours of hands-on experience in a hospital setting. However, even with the transitional class, Andrew admits that there was a learning curve. Every hospital runs differently, from computer systems to procedures and policies.
Although he is just starting his career, Andrew is already thinking toward his future. "One of the reasons I like nursing is there are just so many things you can do throughout the stages of your life," he says. "Once I'm older and have more experience, I can take a desk job as a manager, or go into education," he adds. He has considered other types of positions, such as a nurse practitioner, nurse anesthetist or a flight nurse.
No matter what direction he goes during his career, he says Immaculata's faculty prepared him well.


Saturday night. Madison Square Garden, Knicks vs. 76ers.
Mother Daughter bonding time over basketball.
Not a basketball fan. Has a vague idea how basketball is played. Knows there are 5 players on a team at a time, it's played in quarters not periods (she thinks), a basket is 2 points, a 3-point shot is worth, well, 3 points.
Huge basketball fan. Knows more stats about the players and various teams than Daughter's Husband. Watches as many games as she can on TV and has opinions on all the players and teams.
How did my mom, who, before Jeremy Lin came on the scene, didn't know a football from a basketball, become such a big basketball fan?
Like the entire nation, my mom was swept away by Linsanity. In case you were living in a cave and had no access to TV or newspapers back in February of 2012, Linsanity was the phenomenon created by Jeremy Lin, the first American of Chinese or Taiwanese descent to play in the NBA, who went from an underdog on the Knicks to the most talked about person in one week.
Photo courtesy of Jim McIsaac/Getty Images.
Jim and I were in Hawaii at the time, and I remember him saying, who is this Jeremy Lin? We got sucked into watching all his games. For those few weeks, the entire nation was talking about Jeremy Lin. So you can imagine how proud anyone of Taiwanese descent was that one of their own was making headline news and wowing the nation.
My mom's maiden name is Lin, and my Lin cousins and I all agreed that, sure, Jeremy Lin could be our distant cousin. Taiwanese Americans and Taiwanese in Taiwan followed the rise of Jeremy Lin with a fervor and pride beyond anything I've ever seen.
Even my favorite Taiwanese restaurant in NYC Chinatown had pictures of Jeremy Lin up and were constantly talking about him.
So it's no wonder my mom started following Jeremy Lin and watching all his games. But what is a surprise is that even when Linsanity died down, she was still watching basketball.
It first started with only watching Knicks game. She never missed a game, and continued to root for Jeremy Lin, long after the fervor had died down. Through all the controversy and positive and negative press about Jeremy Lin, she stood by his side (figuratively, although I'm sure she would have liked to stand by his side in reality).
She clipped everything she could find about Jeremy Lin from the Taiwanese newspapers (and still does).
When the Knicks let him go, she turned on the Knicks and to this day, has not forgiven them for giving up Jeremy Lin.
Her allegiance then switched to the Rockets. And she cheered every time the Knicks lost. Then I noticed she was not only watching Rockets games and Knicks games, it seemed she was watching any and all basketball games.
She told me she didn't like certain teams because they were too "rough". She didn't like certain players that were the most popular because they too were rough and "played dirty". She likes exciting games with lots of action and thinks blow-outs are boring. She roots for the "nice" teams and players. But above all, she rooted for Jeremy Lin and the Rockets.
She started talking to Jim about basketball and Jim once said to me, I think she knows more stats about the players and teams than I do.
Her obsession with basketball continued to grow, and I learned not to call her during a game in basketball season. There were one too many times when I was on the phone with her and realized I was talking to dead air.
She was so busy watching the game, she either hangs up on me or just holds the phone to her ear without speaking until I realized I was talking to myself.
Now, during basketball season, if I have to call my mom, I ask Jim first – Is there a basketball game on? If the answer is no, then I call her.
She is now a Lakers fan (since Jeremy Lin is now playing for them). And she attended her very first basketball game, Knicks vs. 76ers with me this past Saturday, thanks to tickets from our family friends Yung and Chao-Mei.
I warned her before we went that she can't cheer too loudly whenever the Knicks miss a shot, or boo out loud if they make a shot, as we are in New York territory.
She enjoyed her first game, even though she declared afterwards that the game was "boring" and not very "exciting" since the Knicks dominated for most of the game.
But we had a good time together. She even took her first selfie with me.
She took a picture with Calderon (because he's not too bad for being a Knick).
And she took a picture of me with Stoudemire.
Who didn't look so big on the court, but compared to me is a giant.
It was a good bonding night and even though I still can't understand her obsession with basketball, at least I got to experience her first live game with her.
So to anyone who knows my mom, since it is basketball season, don't call her when there is a game on. She will hang up on you.
I LOVE this post and story. Lyn I swear I hear your mother's voice!!!


New Mexico Direct Caregivers Coalition has joined #GivingTuesday, a global day of giving that harnesses the collective power of individuals, communities and organizations to encourage philanthropy and to celebrate generosity worldwide. On November 28, supporters can make an online donation to New Mexico Direct Caregivers Coalition and encourage their social media networks to give. #GivingTuesday is a global movement reaching millions annually. It is held on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving and the widely-recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday….
Don't we already know that care recipient health and safety is directly linked to that of the caregiver?
You should always have safe patient transfers!


"Change" leads this album, with jazzy undertones and easy listening; it greets you at the door and welcomes you in. "Helpless" follows suit and I find myself feeling as though a long time friend has led me to the couch and started the conversation. Lead singer Jason Differ has a melodic yet captivating voice, leading fluctuations in tempo and tone, that not only makes you stop and listen, but keep you there.
"It's You I've been Waiting For" is both fun and uplifting, giving you hope for better things to come. And come they do. Once again there is a subtle shift in the music and it seems to develop a bit of an island feel with soft percussion accents in "Wake Up." This leads into the final track, "What You Wanted" which floats you along the remainder of the journey, this conversation that begs you to consider love and all the possibilities, begs you not to turn your back on what is right in front of you. Change is, without a doubt an extremely well thought out compilation of music and lyrics which is timeless.

PTC (Police Treatment Centres) Mission and Vision Statement Analysis
PTC's mission statement is "provide timely and effective treatment and support for our police family patients, in order to improve their health, fitness and wellbeing." In this statement, the emphasis is on the manner in which healthcare services are disseminated to the patients. PTC indicates that they have to be in such a way that they not only leave the clients satisfied but also their health in the best possible condition. These major elements make up this mission statement by PTC.
To ensure that PTC (Police Treatment Centres) positively impacts on the lives of individual patients, the institution shows that it does not take the processes of delivering care for granted. The importance of time and appropriateness of treatment is critical as that is what determines the overall health of the patients. While satisfying the physiological and psychological treatment needs of individual police and their families, PTC contributes to the overall good of creating a healthy community.
PTC Mission Statement History
The Police Treatment Centres (PTC) is a healthcare establishment that primarily offers care services to both serving and retired officers together with their families. The mission and vision statements of this organization are a reflection of a company committed to faithfully serving its beneficiaries and the community.
A corporate vision statement is a description of the future position that the business wants to achieve, while a corporate mission statement identifies the strategic approaches that would enable the business to realize the set vision. In this analysis, the vision statement of PTC is to hone its healthcare services to a level where they are nothing short of excellent.
On the other hand, the mission statement identifies the key elements that would qualify services at PTC as the best, and that they meet the needs of its clients. Other than the mission and vision statements, PTC has core values that ensure the institution remains focused on the developmental path. All these corporate statements work together for the overall good of the corporation.
PTC's vision statement is to "establish the PTC as a center of excellence that delivers class-leading treatment for our police family patients for their physical and psychological injuries, conditions and illnesses." The statement echoes the mission of this organization by underscoring the importance of healthcare services that satisfies the needs of the patients. It shows that PTC wants to be recognized for its outstanding services and positive impacts on patients. The main points of this statement comprise:
Treatment of physical, psychological and other illnesses
Ever since its early days in the 1890s, PTC (Police Treatment Centres) has remained at the top of its game in all its charity based duties towards police family patients. Its ability to meet the diverse needs of its patients through its well-equipped facilities is also a major milestone that enables it to meet the needs of the second point in its vision statement.
PTC's core values include "being passionate, excellence, and a caring heart." With these as the pillars of the organization, PTC has remained stable for over a century while delivering its mandate. Today, it is one of the most vibrant and highly recognized facilities offering care to police and their families.
PTC mission statement remains unchanged through 2020 and 2021

The Arts of Democratization
Styling Political Sensibilities in Postwar West Germany
Jennifer M. Kapczynski and Caroline A. Kita, Editors
How postwar West German democracy was styled through word, image, sound, performance, and gathering
Social History, Popular Culture, and Politics in Germany
Scholars of democracy long looked to the Federal Republic of Germany as a notable "success story," a model for how to transition from a violent, authoritarian regime to a peaceable nation of rights. Although this account has been contested since its inception, the narrative has proved resilient—and it is no surprise that the current moment of crisis that Western democracies are experiencing has provoked new interest in how democracies come to be. The Arts of Democratization: Styling Political Sensibilities in Postwar West Germany casts a fresh look at the early years of this fledgling democracy and draws attention to the broad range of ways democracy and the democratic subject were conceived and rendered at this time.
These essays highlight the contradictory and competing impulses that ran through the project to democratize postwar society and cast a critical eye toward the internal biases that shaped the model of Western democracy. In so doing, the contributions probe critical questions that we continue to grapple with today. How did postwar thinkers understand what it meant to be democratic? Did they conceive of democratic subjectivity in terms of acts of participation, a set of beliefs or principles, or perhaps in terms of particular feelings or emotions? How did the work to define democracy and its subjects deploy notions of nation, race, and gender or sexuality? As this book demonstrates, the case of West Germany offers compelling ways to think more broadly about the emergence of democracy. The Arts of Democratization offers lessons that resonate with the current moment as we consider what interventions may be necessary to resuscitate democracy today.
Jennifer M. Kapczynski is a psychotherapist in private practice in Berkeley, CA and former Associate Professor of German and Film & Media Studies at Washington University in St. Louis.
Caroline A. Kita is Associate Professor of German and Comparative Literature at Washington University in St. Louis.
Praise / Awards
"The volume represents an exciting selection of case studies and micro-histories that privilege not the large-scale, grand historical vistas of diplomatic history or individual politicians, but the lesser-known (though no less important) matters of radio plays, amateur theater, public discussion fora, book publishing, etc. This emphasis on the 'minor' moments within the life of democracy reveals new dimensions of late 1940s and 1950s West Germany."

How Much Does an LPN Make in Maryland?

Radiation Therapists $80,160/year /> 2012-2016 +15.1%
Nursing Assistants ... $26,590/year /> 2012-2016 +1.2%
Salary Insights •
Career Trend •
A licensed practical nurse is a health professional who works with sick, injured, disabled or convalescent people and helps registered nurses and doctors. LPNs perform a wide variety of tasks such as providing beside, cleaning and feeding assistance to patients, giving injections, dressing wounds, and measuring and recording vital signs. Some licensed practical nurses also help physicians during testing and surgeries. The salary an LPN in Maryland can make varies depending on several factors.
Licensed practical nurses in Maryland do not technically need bachelor's or associate degree, which makes the occupation a popular career choice in the healthcare industry. The majority of LPN training programs only last about one year. During this formal training, students learn both in the classroom and through clinical practice. Typical subjects studied in such a program include first aid, pharmacology, nutrition, pediatrics, obstetrics, physiology and anatomy. Those who wish to work as LPNs should also be caring, detail-oriented, and possess the ability to remain calm in stressful situations. After finishing formal training, a practical nurse must pass the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-PN).
The cost of living as well as the level of demand for LPNs may affect salaries. The statewide average wage for LPNs in Maryland is $49,310 a year. However, in a nonmetropolitan area, such as Garret County, the average salary for LPNs is only $39,100 a year. The Upper Eastern Shore area has average salaries closer to the state average at $49,500. The metro area of Baltimore and Towson is the largest in the state, and cost of living is higher than average. Licensed practical nurses can expect a slightly high than average salary in this area, averaging $50,480 annually.
Type of Facility or Employer
The most common type of working environment for licensed practical nurses is in a nursing care facility. The national average wage for those employees is $42,320 a year. However, the offices of physicians also employ many LPNs, but salaries are much lower, averaging $36,770 nationwide. One of the highest-paying industries for LPNs is employment services, providing an annual mean wage of $46,190. Salaries in Maryland tend to follow this pattern, but are generally higher.
Like virtually all professions, licensed practical nurses typically earn more as they gain experience on the job. Starting out, an LPN could expect an average wage of $15.95 an hour. However, after just five to nine years in the field, that hourly wage jumps up to around $19.76. The most-experienced LPNs in Maryland will likely earn a wage in the 90th percentile, about $64,500 a year.
2016 Salary Information for Licensed Practical and Licensed Vocational Nurses
Licensed practical and licensed vocational nurses earned a median annual salary of $44,090 in 2016, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. On the low end, licensed practical and licensed vocational nurses earned a 25th percentile salary of $37,040, meaning 75 percent earned more than this amount. The 75th percentile salary is $51,220, meaning 25 percent earn more. In 2016, 724,500 people were employed in the U.S. as licensed practical and licensed vocational nurses.

Lent begins on March 6. It's time to order parish and school resources.


For me, breakfast on the low-carb, high-fat diet can get monotonous. A lot of people have asked for examples of different foods I typically eat for breakfast, and what I do when I don't have a lot of time in the morning. When I know that I won't have very much time in the morning, I make these dishes at night and simply reheat them in the morning! So, here are five of my favorite breakfasts that I like to eat on the low carb, high fat diet!
Need: 2 avocados, 4 fresh eggs, 1/8 teaspoon of pepper, optional add-in 1 tablespoon of chopped chives, bacon crumbled. Baking dishes for avocados to fit in.
Instructions: Preheat oven to 425, slice avocados in half, take out the pit, and scoop out about 2 tablespoons of avocado from the center to allow the egg to fit properly. Place the avocados in a small baking dish so they fit snug. Crack an egg into each avocado half. Place the avocado eggs into the oven for 15-20 minutes. Remove them from the oven and season them with salt, pepper, chives, or whatever you'd like.
Need: Eggs, tam or turkey, optional add-ins bacon, peppers, cheese, onions. Muffin tray, coconut oil.
Instructions: Preheat oven to 400, grease muffin tray with coconut oil by smearing it in each cup compartment, fit 1-2 slices of ham in each compartment, mix the ingredients together in a bowl, pour ingredients into each muffin compartment lined with ham. Bake for 15 minutes or until eggs are done.
Need: Eggs, optional add-ins: avocado, bacon, cheese, onion, green peppers, ground beef, turkey. Muffin tray, coconut oil.
Instructions: Preheat oven to 400. Mix the ingredients you chose together in a bowl. Smear coconut oil in each muffin compartment. Pour the mixture into the muffin tray. Bake for 15 minutes or until the eggs are done.
Need: 6 hard boiled eggs, 2 avocados peeled and pitted, 1 tablespoon yellow mustard, 1/3 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 3 tablespoons chopped pickles, salt and pepper. Mixing bowl, fork.
Instructions: Peel and slice up hard boiled eggs, mash eggs with a fork in a mixing bowl. Add the onion, avocado, pickle, mustard, and mayonnaise. After you mash enough to a good consistency, salt and pepper the dish for taste.
Need: 1 1/2 cup ice, 1 cup cold coffee, 1 scoop chocolate or vanilla protein powder, 1 tablespoon liquid coconut oil or MCT oil, 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream (liquid), optional add-ins blueberries, strawberries, raspberries. Blender.
Instructions: In a blender, put together the ice, coffee, and liquid coconut oil (preferably MCT oil if you have it), and heavy whipping cream. Blend these ingredients first. This mixture should become completely puree, almost the consistency of a milkshake. Now, add the protein powder and your optional berries. Blend and serve!
These recipes do not have to be limited to only breakfast. They are great appetizers and can be made for any occasion!

The Great Academy of Paris (Midrash HaGadol d'Paris) was a 13th-century Talmudic academy in Acre, established by Rabbi Jehiel of Paris.

History

In around 1258, Rabbi Jehiel of Paris immigrated to the Kingdom of Jerusalem from Northern France with several hundred students, his son Joseph following soon later. The group settled in the Crusader stronghold of Acre, where Rabbi Jehiel founded a Talmudic academy which he named the Great Academy of Paris, after the original institution he had headed in Paris.  The academy intended to continue the learning traditions of the Tosafists of Northern France.

One report suggests that there were 300 students learning at the academy, although this may have included members of the local community, who devoted time for daily study.  The renown of the new academy of the "Sages of Acre" was so great that Rabbi Shlomo ben Adret wrote in 1280: 'It is a custom among the sages of the Holy Land and of Babylon that if a question should be asked, nobody answers but they say: "Let us be guided by the Sages of Acre."'  Acre subsequently became a centre of religious authority for Middle Eastern Jews and the rulings of its rabbinical court were accepted by the communities of Palestine, Syria and Egypt. Its scholars were instrumental in preserving the communication network between the Jewish diaspora and Palestinian Jewry.

It is probable that the Jews of Acre could not sustain the institution alone and that emissaries were sent to Europe to solicit funding.  One such envoy, "Rabbi Jacob, the Messenger of the Yeshiva of Acre" (; c. 1258–1270), carried an "exhortatory treatise" which included an itinerary of the Holy Land listing the tombs and gravesites of biblical figures and talmudic sages – possibly to be used as a fundraising aid.

Made For Goodness
And why this makes all the difference
By Desmond Tutu, Mpho Tutu
Archbishop Desmond Tutu's positive and accessible follow-up to God Has A Dream
As Archbishop of Cape Town at the height of the Apartheid regime in South Africa, Desmond Tutu saw many shocking and violent incidents. Later, as Chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, as well as a leading peace negotiator in many troubled parts of the world, he heard many appalling stories of man's inhumanity to man. Yet he still has a firm conviction that we are 'made by goodness for goodness'. Another way of putting this is: the essential truth about all of us is that we are made in the image and likeness of God.
Tutu explains that, though we sometimes act out of depravity and despair, we do know in our heart of hearts that we are not as we were meant to be, and were created to be so much more. The truth of human goodness can get hidden under the fear that we cannot live up to its demands, or it can get buried under faults or failures, or it can just get forgotten.
In this thoughtful and important book, the Archbishop (with his daughter, Mpho Tutu) shows how we can find our way back to goodness by changing our attitudes, by practising forgiveness, and by prayer. Then we will begin to see the goodness and beauty of others… If our view changes, this in turn makes all the difference to the way we act. And how we act towards each other affects not only ourselves but everything in our world - for the better.
Mpho Tutu
" Even with the incredible trauma and cruelty Archbishop Tutu endured in South Africa during apartheid and the many atrocities he has witnessed in his life, he still radiates love and happiness. This wonderful new book is a great gift to the world and will help all of us celebrate our goodness and oneness "
Sir Richard Branson, founder and chairman of the Virgin Group
" As the author so clearly and beautifully says in this book, "anyone can choose to cultivate compassion." Thank you Archbishop Tutu for helping us all come back home to our true nature, which is inherently good and whole, and touch the peace that is always there for us "
Thich Nhat Hanh, author of The Miracle of Mindfulness
" Desmond Tutu has walked the talk all his adult life. We can all be grateful that, together with his daughter Mpho, he has now shared his secrets for why he has so much hope and joy "
Mary Robinson, former president of Ireland

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Hyderabad, have developed a smartphone-based system to detect adulteration in milk.
It measures acidity in milk using an indicator paper that changes colour according to acidity. They have also developed algorithms that can be incorporated on to a smartphone to accurately detect the colour change.
IIT Professor Shiv Govind Singh, heading the research team, said, "While techniques such as chromatography and spectroscopy can be used to detect adulteration, such techniques generally require expensive setup and are not amenable to miniaturisation into low-cost easy-to-use devices. Hence, they do not appeal to the vast majority of milk consumers in the developing world."
"We need to develop simple devices that the consumer can use to detect milk contamination. It should be possible to make milk adulteration detection failsafe by monitoring all of these parameters at the same time, without the need for expensive equipment," he said.
First, the research team developed a sensor-chip based method for measuring pH level, an indicator of the acidity.
They used a process called "electrospinning" to produce paper-like material made of nanosized nylon fibre, loaded with a combination of three dyes. The paper is "halochromic" which changes colour in response to changes in acidity.
The researchers have developed a prototype smartphone-based algorithm, in which, the colours of the sensor strips after dipping in milk are captured using the phone camera, and the data is transformed into pH range.
"We have used three machine-learning algorithms and compared their detection efficiencies in classifying the colour of the indicator strips. On testing with milk spiked with various combinations of contaminants, we found near-perfect classification with accuracy of 99.71 per cent," Singh said.
"The team will extend the research to study the effects of mobile phone cameras and lighting on detection efficiency.

George Calombaris's glittering $7 million property portfolio revealed: Toorak mansion and weekender
For Masterchef judge George Calombaris, home is a $4.75 million French provincial-style mansion at the heart of one of Melbourne's most prestigious suburbs.
The Network Ten personality's Toorak property boasts five bedrooms, four bathrooms, a lift and a five car garage, plus a recently constructed gym.
Just last year, the celebrity chef, 40, and his wife, Natalie Tricarico, bought a $2.2 million weekender on a 'majestic' Mornington Peninsula, via a business they run.
The couple's company, Trical Beach Pty Ltd, also reportedly bought a $580,000 townhouse in nearby Safety Beach in 2013.
Calombaris's property portfolio, valued at more than $7 million, has been revealed after the reality star and the MAdE Entertainment company he founded were fined for underpaying workers.
'The epitome of luxury living': Masterchef judge George Calombaris's Melbourne home was purchased for $4.75 million in 2013
His Mornington Peninsula weekender was described by real estate agents as a 'grand home of incontestable splendour'
Calombaris (with his wife Natalie) and his company were slapped with a $200,000 fine by the Fair Work Ombudsman
Calombaris caused a stir last year after an elderly neighbour complained about the 'monstrous' backyard gym he had constructed in his backyard (above)
The Fair Work Ombudsman slapped Calombaris and Made with a $200,000 fine after ruling restaurant workers were underpaid almost $8 million in wages.
More than $7.83 million has been back-paid to 515 current or former employees of restaurants Press Club, Gazi and Hellenic Republic for work between 2011 and 2017. A further $16,371 was back-paid to nine employees of Jimmy Grants.
As part of a court-enforceable agreement, Calombaris must implement new payroll and compliance systems across his stable of restaurants. He will also have to 'complete speaking engagements to educate the restaurant industry on the importance of workplace compliance'.
Former Hellenic Republic worker Orlaith Belfrage said Calombaris has avoided proper punishment with the fine.
'George should pay a serious price for this massive theft of workers' wages,' she said in a statement.
'He should be taken off MasterChef. How many more excuses does George get?'
Ms Belfrage said she and fellow workers asked for Calombaris to hand over records so they could recover their entitlements, adding that he had not been cooperative.
Calombaris apologised this week. 'It is our people that make our restaurants great, and it is our priority to ensure all of our employees feel respected, rewarded and supported in their roles,' he said.
Daily Mail Australia does not suggest a connection between the wage issue and Calombaris's property investments.
But it is clear Calombaris's television stardom and business acumen has allowed him to enjoy the perks of an enviable property portfolio.
The interior of Calombaris's mansion includes a lavish kitchen – with a fashionable island – and exposed wooden floorboards
The home was advertised as 'an exquisite French Provincial family residence' and 'the epitome of luxury living'
More than $7.83 million has been back-paid to 515 current or former employees of restaurants Press Club, Gazi and Hellenic Republic restaurants (Kew property above) for work between 2011 and 2017
Network Ten – which broadcasts Masterchef – covered Calombaris's underpayment saga on The Project on Thursday evening. The reality star is pictured above with fellow hosts Matt Preston (in velvet) and Gary Mehigan (left)
Real estate agents described his Toorak mansion as 'the epitome of luxury living'.
Top features include 'picture book windows overlooking Paul Bangay gardens'.
The home has high ceilings, a lap pool, a cinema room, basement storage and zoned airconditioning.
The home was at the centre of a media storm last year after an elderly neighbour complained about a 'monstrous' backyard gym Calombaris had constructed in his backyard.
Helen Elsworth, 72, compared it to a public toilet block. But the celebrity chef said his neighbours would 'be rapt' with the result when the gym was finally completed.
Last year the Calombaris clan also invested in their three bedroom Mornington Peninsula weekender, described as a 'show stopper' in real estate advertisements.
The property was described as '(affording) a life of absolute luxury coveted by many yet achieved by few' and a 'grand home of incontestable splendour'.
Daily Mail Australia has approached Calombaris for comment.
WHAT GEORGE CALOMBARIS AND HIS COMPANY HAVE SAID
The celebrity chef told Melbourne newspaper The Herald Sun there were two 'important things for Australians to know' about the wage scandal.
'The first is that when we discovered there were incorrect payments to members of the team, we self reported to the Fair Work Ombudsman and co-operated with their investigation,' Calombaris was quoted saying.
'The second is that our team members, past and present, have been back-paid in full, and the vast majority repaid before October 2017 in consultation with Fair Work.
'There is no excuse for this and we have the systems in place now.'
MAdE, which Calombaris founded and remains a shareholder of, said in statement: 'The incorrect payments were identified by MAdE during a review in early 2017, following a change in ownership and management.
'After an investigation, the (Fair Work Ombudsman) confirmed Made's finding that employees had been incorrectly classified and underpaid due to incorrect processes and failures within its payroll and human resources functions'.
