The inaugural edition of the Bangkok Michelin guide has been released with news of three two star restaurants and 14 one star restaurants, including a street food stall. There were no three stars.
Gaggan Anand took two stars with his eponymous restaurant Gaggan serving progressive Indian cuisine, which has also taken the top spot on Asia's 50 Best list for three consecutive years. Alongside him were the Mandarin Oriental's elegant French restaurant, Le Normandie, and the Japanese influenced Mezzaluna restaurant, on the 65th floor of the Lebua Hotel.
A total of 14 establishments were awarded one star, including the twin chefs with their modern German restaurant, Sühring, and upscale Thai restaurants, David Thompson's Nahm and Bo.Lan restaurant.
Street food vendor, taxi driver favourite and all-round local legend, 70-year-old grandmother Jay Fai, was also awarded one star for her crab omelettes, crab curries and dry congee.
Awarding stars to street food was also a practice adopted in Singapore's inaugural guide when two hawker stalls were awarded one star each in 2016.
There were also 33 Bib Gourmand recommendations, for exceptionally good food at moderate prices.

JBW takes on RCH

redpajama_set_name: RedPajamaCommonCrawl


It's a happy day indeed when two of my favourite brands come together in one glorious collaboration. Anthropologie at John Lewis.
It's not often I get to use my degree. Probably for the best, seeing as I went to uni a very long time ago. But my annual fallophobia* is back. And this year I'm putting my studies to good use and doing something about it.


If you had asked me my opinion on The Salty Pig, a little restaurant in the heart of Boston's Back Bay district, I would have said many things. I would have said that I love the ambiance with its clean tile, chalkboards and tin sconces. I would have said that I think its the perfect place to catch up with friends over glasses of wine. I would have said that its a great place to warm up in front of their wood burning oven on a cold night. I would not, however, have said I loved their food. Visits had always left me reaching for glass upon glass of water due to over salting, that is, until tonight. One evening last week, as I sat perched at my table filled with other food writer types, I loved every course more than the one before it, and reached for my water glass only to cleanse my palate.
The difference, as it often does, lies in the chef. Just back from a stint in Paris, Rhode Island Native Chef Kevin O'Donnell took the helm at Salty Pig just a few months ago and is now shaking things up and creating a name for himself and the restaurant. We were invited in to check out what will be their "chefs table" a cozy section of the restaurant that sits over looking the wood fired oven and a chef station where a tasting menu will be offered. We were treated to a sampling of dishes that may appear on that menu.
We began our tasting with crostini topped with a pulled curd cheese and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. As far as first bites are concerned- this was a wonderful awaken er for our taste buds- fresh soft, salty cheese topping a buttery crisp toast and then finished with a rich sweet and tangy balsamic. Every flavored played off of each other with compliments, the salt to the tang, the butter to the sweet and the textural contrasts of the soft cheese to the crisp toast made this a perfect start to our meal.
Next dish to arrive at our table was a toasty fried ravioli, wrapped in Prosciutto, and topped with a thin shaving of pungent salty cheese. Here again, we were delighted by a great pairing of both flavors and textures. The crispness gave way to soft interior of creamy ricotta, the Prosciutto added that decadent yet hearty feeling. We had a bit of a fight over the last few of these wonderful little bites- they were very quick to disappear.
Just as we finished those ravioli, shot glasses full of hot potato and Swiss soup topped with shaved chorizo were set in front of us. I loved this soup and would have enjoyed a giant bowl of it. The potato was pureed with the swiss cheese into a thick, creamy base, full of earthy flavor from the potato and lightened with the nutty cheese flavor. The really special angle here was the shaved chorizo- spicy and and perfect with the creamy soup.
Rounding out our small bites for the evenings, they brought us their own head cheese, a lovely blend with cherries, apples, grain mustard, red wine and fruit mostarda. The combination of these flavors were lovely, a little spice, great sweetness from the fruit, a richness from the wine. This was a lovely bite.
Our first course of our meal was an artfully designed roasted beet salad topped with beat chips, frisee, citrus segments, and feta cheese. Beets have such a particular flavor. It took me a very long time to fully accept these root vegetables into my diet, but now I realize how they must be appreciated for their unique flavor, especially when paired correctly. Here it was a wonderful mix of slightly bitter frisee, salty feta and wonderfully juicy citrus. I loved the addition of the citrus- it added a unique twist that freshened the starchy vegetables.
Chef presented our next dish and we knew immediately that this was one of his favorites. Wanting to bring his home of Rhode Island into a dish, but putting his own unique twist on it, he grilled the beautiful tubes of calamari so they were smokey and tender. These were dressed with a Myer Lemon aioli, and a kalamata olive vinaigrette which together rounded out the smoke with bright lemon, cream and a salty offset. I loved everything about this dish. Each component added something different, and each combined together created a harmonious bite.
As I finished off the calamari, I felt quite certain that nothing could be better. I set myself up assuming that the next dishes wouldn't measure to the calamari- and then a piping hot bowl of ever so light, pillowy gnocchi dressed with rich lamb neck and root vegetable sauce. The gnocchi themselves were impossibly light, creamy and the perfect vehicle for the tender lamb. The sauce was deep and rich, but was brightened with the zest of an orange. The contrast of the citrus with what could have been a very heavy, dense dish was incredibly welcome and elevated this far beyond even a "good" gnocchi dish.
In celebration of the pig, which O'Donnell breaks down one of in house in each week, he presented us next with a plate of different parts of the pig, paired with silky smear of butternut squash. Rich pork belly, fried orbs, smokey ham....each component of the pig was artfully prepared and bursting with flavor. It was a simple plated dish which allowed the different components to each stand on their own. I think it's very safe to say, after thoroughly enjoying every piece of this dish, that Chef O'Donnell knows his way around a pig- which is a very good thing at a restaurant named The Salty Pig.
We finished our meal with a vanilla bread pudding, bedecked with maple walnut ice cream and bursting cranberries. Once again, O'Donnell created a well rounded dish countering the sweetness of the pudding and the ice cream with the tart berries. The pudding itself was well prepared, creamy and sweet without being overly so, and warmed through. While it may not have been the most elaborate dessert, it was comforting and provided just the right amount of sweetness at the end of a savory meal.
This visit to The Salty Pig puts it in a whole different category for me. No more will I regard it as simply a place to stop into to have a quick drink on my way somewhere else. No more will I frown when someone mentions eating there. No more will I consider how much water Ill need to drink after a meal there. Now I know- The Salty Pig, under Chef O'Donnell, is creating inventive dishes, full of true flavors and delicious pairings. The staff is as warm and accommodating as always and with reasonable prices, The Salty Pig is a don't miss.

YLS students give mixed reviews of clerkship process
Phoebe Kimmelman 3:40 am, Nov 21, 2014
Ever since David Lat LAW '99, founder and managing editor of the legal blog Above the Law, clerked for the United States Court of Appeals for the ninth circuit, he thought the colorful personalities and sprawling court he encountered would lend themselves well to a novel. Over a decade later, while writing his first book "Supreme Ambitions," Lat finally got the chance to put his own fictional spin on one of the United States' biggest federal circuits.
For Yalies, the book hits close to home. But it also delves into a topic that both drives and haunts many students at Yale Law School and beyond — judicial clerkships, which are full-time, post-graduate positions that advise judges on cases at the district, state or federal level.
A PROCESS IN FLUX
The timeline for acquiring clerkships has changed considerably over the last several years, according to Columbia Law School Director of Academic Counseling and Judicial Programming Anne Green. This shift in the timeline has forced younger law students to start thinking about clerkships sooner. In Lat's novel, Audrey does not apply for a judicial clerkship until her third and final year of law school. But Green said today's law students often interview for these positions during the summer after their first year of law school, even though they will not fill them for two more years.
These changes are in part due to the elimination of the Federal Law Clerk Hiring Plan early last year, which regulated the clerkship application process, according to the United States Courts website.
At the same time, Green noted, more judges are hiring graduates with a few years of work experience, leading some students to choose to wait until near the end of their law school career, applying for a clerkship after they have obtained a job at which they can work for one or two years after graduation. Alternatively, others even postpone applications until they are already working.
But Harvard Law School Director of Judicial Clerkships Kirsten Solberg said that the increase in applications from older law students has made it more competitive for law students who want to begin their clerkships immediately after law school.
Solberg said that 10 years ago, 95 percent of HLS graduates entered clerkships right after graduating, while only five percent took time between law school and clerking. Now, she said, that ratio has drastically changed, with the number of Harvard Law alums clerking split at about 50–50 between these two groups.
But Solberg said this added competition has not discouraged Harvard students from applying for clerkships. In fact, more are doing so because the judiciary has not seen the same shrinkage in positions that law firms have in recent years.
Yale Law School Career Development Office Director Kelly Voight cautioned that this new trend of students applying for clerkships earlier in their law school careers is not unsurprising given long-term patterns in the clerkship hiring process.
"Clerkship hiring has proven to be cyclical," she said. "Over the past 30 years, we've gone through periods with a regular schedule, hiring later in the student's academic career and periods of non-regulation like [what] exists today."
A RITE OF INITIATION
Voight said around 35 to 40 percent of Yale Law School graduates clerk immediately after graduating, a number that has remained fairly constant over the last several years.
Despite this relative stability, some Yale Law students said the clerkship hiring process is itself inherently flawed.
A YLS student who would only speak under anonymity said YLS's process of attaining a clerkship lacks transparency. The student added that attaining a clerkship often depends on getting good grades in classes taught by professors who have strong connections to judges, creating competition in and out of the classroom to outperform peers.
Elizabeth Willis LAW '17 said Yale does a good job of working within the confines of that challenging structure. Akunna Cook LAW '16, however, said there is a major flaw with applying for clerkships from Yale Law School: unequal access to information. Some people are privileged and receive lots of information, she said, and others are instead kept in the dark and ultimately harmed in the application process.
But Alex Schultz LAW '17 said he thinks that generally the information his classmates have is the same as his, and that this is indicative of a fair process.
Greg Cui LAW '17 said he has found input from professors and peers, along with informational panels organized by Yale Law School, helpful in navigating the beginnings of the clerkship process. Law School professor Akhil Amar said he views this advising process as critical to his role as a law professor.
"If a student does good work for a professor, I think the professor needs to stand by the student and let the world know that that student did good work," he said. "That's kind of the social contract, especially at a school like Yale."
April Hu LAW '17 said many students try to get a clerkship after graduating because there is a common assumption that this will open many doors in the professional field. Many people entertain the idea of a clerkship, she added, without really knowing the precise reason.
Lat said that given his experience with clerkships, he thinks the process of obtaining them can sometimes be political. Certain judges, though not all, use personal politics as a key factor in deciding about a particular applicant, depending on how much disagreement and diversity of perspective they want in their court. Yale Law School professor Owen Fiss said he hopes politics do not play a role in clerkship hiring. He added that when students apply for a clerkship, it is important for them to choose wisely which judge to clerk for.
"I think the law clerk's highest duty is to be a critic of the judge," he said. "The best person to work for the judge is [someone who] would give him or her the best opportunity to work in the law and not one that serves some political interest."

Chelsea FC: Champions League
Chilwell: 'We showed that defensively we're a very strong outfit'
Chilly D-fense

Ben Chilwell's rapid acclimatization to Chelsea — and that may be underselling just how quickly he's gelled with his new teammates — has been great to see, but up to this point, we had mostly taken note of that at the attacking end of the pitch. His link-up with the left-sided midfielders and wingers is coming along nicely, and his crossing is, as expected, top notch already (corners, too!).
Yesterday however, he got to showcase some solid defending (including some wonderful recoveries), alongside the rest of the team. And while that resulted in a bit of a power outage going forward, after the debacles of West Brom and Southampton, conceding three goals to each, it was certainly heartening to see the team keep such a strong side as Sevilla restricted to very little if any actual chances.
Chilwell was happy to see the team respond in such a way. He may be a modern full back, but defending is still part of his game.
"We showed that defensively we're a very strong outfit. They're one of the best teams in Europe and to get a clean sheet against a very good attacking side was positive. We didn't give them a lot of chances. It would have been nice to get a win at home but we'll take the draw and a clean sheet.
"In general as a team it was, I wouldn't say comfortable, because there were moments where we were under pressure, but how organised we were, not just the back four and the goalkeeper but the whole team. The wingers and the midfielders were all putting a shift in for the defence. So defensively it was very good."
As others have said, the next step is to find the proper balance. We've shown that we can be unstoppable in attack (at the expense of conceding a ton), and we've shown that we can stay organized, solid, and mistake-free at the back (but without offering much threat going forward). There's a happy medium in there somewhere.
"I think the important thing there was the clean sheet. We knew people would be looking at us after conceding three goals on the weekend and defensively as a team we were solid today, against a very good team.
"We're a top team and when you're playing for Chelsea you expect clean sheets and if you're conceding a lot of goals you're going to get criticism as a top team. So for us it was important that we keep working hard on the training pitch."
-Ben Chilwell; source: Chelsea FC
There's another big match coming up on Saturday, with another important result that needs to be achieved at Old Trafford. Which Chelsea will show up?
This season's already seen its fair share of outrageous and shocking results. Any team(s) who can put together even just one solid run of results are likely to emerge at or near the top once all is said and done. That sort of run will require both solid defending and productive attacking, so the sooner we figure it out, the better off we will be.

Those Wonderful Aubrey–Maturin Novels
John Whitworth
The purpose of this essay is to get you to read these twenty novels if you haven't already done so. Maybe you are daunted by the sheer size of the assignment. In that case you can whet your appetite by watching the DVD of Master and Commander with excellent performances by Russell Crowe and Paul Bettany, though Bettany is not ugly enough or malevolent enough to be Maturin, and since the film is set aboard ship and at least half the action of the novels is on land, there is a lot missing.
Patrick O'Brian (above), the author, was neither Irish nor O'Brian. His name was Richard Russ and he was English. He told many lies about himself, documented in Dean King's fairly long and, in some ways tedious biography, Patrick O'Brian: A Life Revealed (2000). But don't worry. You don't have to read it, since I have read it for you.
O'Brian (I shall call him that, since he did) was born near the beginning of the twentieth century and died at the end of it. He had no university education. The family finances were rickety and the children many, but that is really no disadvantage. P.G. Wodehouse didn't have one either for much the same reasons and Dickens was poorly educated. A university education doesn't seem to help.

Master and Commander, the first book, was published in 1970 and Blue at the Mizzen, the last, in 1999. O'Brian died in 2000, having written a little of a twenty-first novel. Twenty-one books in thirty years is a pretty good work rate, over a million words.
O'Brian appears to have been a late starter, but he wrote novels from 1950, good enough for publication and selling quite well. Anyone who has read any of them can let me know.
Master and Commander opens with Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin, who do not know each other, listening to a concert. Jack is unconsciously beating time and Stephen begs him to desist, which Jack does with an apology, but Stephen goes on to insist that Jack was beating time wrongly. The upshot is a challenge to a duel—shades of the Three Musketeers. But this is not to be. Jack gets news of his first command and is so full of good cheer he makes a full apology for what he has never done. Stephen makes peace and the great friendship begins with a dinner. There is a great deal about eating and even recipes, such as the one for plum duff, which I wouldn't mind eating myself. No wonder we are both overweight.
One side of Stephen which is not touched on in the film is his dangerous and invaluable work as a secret agent. He does it for nothing because of his hatred of what he calls Bonapartism which he sees (correctly in my view) as inimical to freedom. No doubt at all that he would be a Brexiteer! Stephen's contact at home is Sir Joseph Blaine, chief of naval intelligence, an intellectual and natural philosopher, which suits Maturin very well. Many splendid dinners the two of them spend together. O'Brian told a journalist that Blaine was based in part on Leslie Beck, his own unit director during the war, who shared Blaine's philosophical scruples and practical ruthlessness.
I now propose to trace the places in the books that make up the main plotline in the film. The central action concerns the pursuit of Jack's ship by a superior French frigate. However Jack ducks and weaves (and he is a master at ducking and weaving) the ship finds him out. There is a very similar situation in the books, but the avenging angel is a Dutch ship, the Waakzamheid (the word means watchfulness, wakefulness—very prescient), which destroys Aubrey's rudder, as in the film, but loses the decisive battle and sinks with all hands.
The visit to the Galapagos Islands occurs during The Ionian Mission, and the midshipman, Reade, who gives Stephen assistance, can also be found there. He turns up in later books and will undoubtedly become a captain, possibly attain flag rank, since he has, as Jack has not, the social connections.
In fact there is nothing in the film which is not taken from the books, not the operation on the sailor's brain, nor his tattooed knuckles with the injunction "hold fast", nor the Jonah who brings bad luck until he commits suicide, nor even the terrible joke about the lesser of two weevils.
One thing not touched on in the film is homosexuality, in particular the pederastic use of pretty midshipmen. Aubrey disapproves of this but cannot believe that it is a hanging matter, so tends to turn a blind eye. No midshipman actually suffers, but the suffering of officers who love what they cannot possess is sympathetically portrayed and, to me, almost tragically touching. It is true that the two most dastardly villains in the series, who Maturin kills and later dissects, are pederasts, but that is incidental to their villainy. They do what they do for money.
O'Brian and Forester
Like many of us, I read C.S. Forester's novels when still at school and much admired them, as I still do. I think I have read them all. Like Jack Aubrey, Horatio Hornblower starts as a mere midshipman and climbs to the dizzy heights of admiral, so their careers would be in parallel. Like Jack, Horatio cannot stay faithful to his wife; like Jack, he operates in the Baltic and the West Indies; like Jack, he admires Horatio Nelson, his namesake, only just this side of idolatry, though, as far as I now, Hornblower never actually met him, much less had him pass the salt, or give advice (go straight at 'em) concerning sea-battles.
Is O'Brian better than Forester? Yes, because he gives us so much more. His characters' speech patterns, for instance. Here is a passage from Post Captain:
"Ain't you got no respect for learning?" said Plaice. "Four books at once I seen him read. Nay, with these very eyes here in my head"—pointing to them—"I seen him whip a man's skull off, rouse out his brains, set 'em to rights, stow 'em back in again, clap on a silver plate, and sew up his scalp, which it was drooling over one ear, obscuring his dial with a flat seam needle and a pegging-awl, as neat as the sailmaker of a king's yacht."
"And where did you bury the poor bugger?" asked Simmons with an offensive knowingness.
"Which he's walking the deck of a seventy-four at this very moment, you fat slob …"
I can hardly tear myself away. The which construction, so ubiquitous, the past tense of see, ain't for isn't, dial for face, all still current, the use of learned terms like pegging awl (it is a kind of bradawl used for boots).
Forester has a kind of snobbery—seen in his treatment of Maria, Hornblower's lower-class first wife, the daughter of an innkeeper, and the possessor of red arms from doing the washing no doubt—which O'Brian entirely lacks. It is surely inconceivable that Horatio should father a black man who becomes a learned cardinal of the church. And, though I speak from ignorance, O'Brian's sea battles seem more realistic. Aubrey would never allow his ship to be entirely destroyed as the Sutherland is in A Ship of the Line, nor would he consider it disgraceful to be captured. These are the fortunes of war.
Forester is also bereft of jokes. Hornblower is a po-faced fellow and when Barbara, who becomes his wife, essays a pleasantry about his throat-clearing when embarrassed or lost for words he cannot summon up as much as a smile.
Initially critics tend to side with Forester, but as the Aubrey–Maturin series gets into its stride and they begin to understand the grand design, they are won over.
There is a Hornblower television series, though I confess I have not seen any of it. And of course there are many, many other series of books which cover the same ground.
O'Brian and Proust
O'Brian has more in common with Proust than you might think. First, both series of books are very long, well over a million words. Second, they start slowly and gain momentum, creating a whole universe. Third, they both discuss homosexuality with sympathy and some wit. You may remember the Baron de Charlus, pederast in chief, putting down some poor fellow who supposes him a mere baron. He informs him he has numerous other titles (he is a duke of something or other) but considers it vulgar to use them.
Proust took ten years to write his novel (or novels if you prefer), O'Brian some forty, but you must consider that O'Brian did not stay in bed all day. He had two families to support, and he wrote other books including a long biography of Picasso which needed much research.
I have to confess that Proust's book, though undoubtedly a masterpiece, does contain some sections that move slowly, are even (gulp) a little boring. O'Brian is always interesting, and being interesting, as Thomas Mann says somewhere, is the first duty of a novelist.
Had O'Brian read Proust? Yes, he had—and reread him. Proust was one of his all-time favourites, along with Gibbon and Austen. O'Brian also considered if he could end his series, like Proust, by bringing it back to the beginning, but in truth he was too fascinated by his own novels to contemplate seriously any termination. I have little doubt there would have been a twenty-second novel after the unfinished twenty-first, and so on and so on.
The novelist's passage of time
It would not be possible to squeeze in all the things Aubrey, Maturin and the various ships they sailed on did, in the years in which they are supposed to have done them. Aubrey is not yet a captain some time after 1805, and ten years later he has risen to the rank of admiral and sailed twenty voyages, one of which involves being shipwrecked on an island for a year. When we read the novels it does not bother us. O'Brian, wisely, eschews such things as dates. The war of 1812 with the United States is there, and Napoleon's escape from Elba.
This is all the more true because when a captain was posted he joined an orderly queue from which there was no possibility of deviation. You moved up the list only as the men above you were eliminated by retirement or death. This may sound a rather fuddy-duddy way of doing things but it was really much more democratic than a system which supposedly rewarded merit but actually meant you could buy yourself advancement, as was the case in the Army.
So it is sleight of hand, in much the same way as in the works of P.G. Wodehouse, that the world changes but Bertie and Jeeves do not. How many men had gentlemen's gentlemen in 1970? It happens with Richmal Crompton's William too.
A possible model for Jack Aubrey
Thomas Cochrane, the tenth earl of Dundonald (so something of a nob), was, according to Dean King, "the Nelson of frigate commanders, fearless, cunning and admired by his men, whom he enriched with prize money as a result of their victories at sea. Like Nelson, Cochrane was never afraid to, when he believed he could, strike a blow for England by doing so." But there were differences. Cochrane was a peppery Scot, rash, confrontational and disagreeable, whereas Jack was English to the core, bold but never rash, and always a most agreeable man, except when beset with enemies within the service, such as the slippery, mendacious and avaricious Admiral Harte, who did everything to harm Jack, in revenge for Jack's affair with his wife Queeny.
Aubrey and Maturin: family affairs
Both Aubrey and Maturin are happily married, Jack to Sophie, to whom he is devoted, in spite of her shrewish, penny-pinching mother. Unfortunately, Jack's devotion does not make him faithful and, as Sophie is extremely jealous (as well she might be), Jack spends quite a lot of time with the tin hat on, when Sophie discovers another affair—which is not difficult, since all his attempts at deceit are pitiful in their ineptitude. However, we are never in much doubt that things will come right in the end.
Maturin's great love is Diane Villiers, Sophie's cousin. She is dashing and smokes cigars, has no money and, initially, neither does he, so, like Becky Sharp, she needs protectors who will give her money in exchange for sexual favours. They are two Americans, the first of which, the nice one, Stephen kills in a duel, though this is a matter of regret to Stephen, who was pushed into it. The second is a sadist. And then there is the third protector, Jagiello, who they meet in Sweden. Jagiello is fair, as a Swede should be, charming and the possessor of such a pretty face that he is often taken for a homosexual. Stephen does not blame her for her behaviour, though you may be sure her aunt has more than enough to say. Stephen and Diane do finally marry, but then her audacity causes her death when she crashes her carriage and four horses.
Sometimes Stephen has money and sometimes he is skint. This is true of Jack also, who more than once comes within a whisker of being arrested for debt. At one time he instructs Stephen to move all his money from a safe bank to an unsafe one that offers unbelievable interest rates. Stephen does so but omits to get Jack's signature. There does seem to be a God guarding the two of them.
I think the recurrent theme is enduring male friendship, something O'Brian would have liked to enjoy but never did—David and Jonathan, Damon and Pythias, whoever they were, William and Ginger, and Jack and Stephen. "Ah, Stephen, there you are!" says Jack. And there he is.
And I haven't mentioned the music, Jack on the violin, Stephen on the cello, Jack the natural player, Stephen the one who has to work at it. Let us leave them playing Boccherini as they do at the end of Master and Commander. "Scrape, scrape!" grumbles Preserved Killick, but he is an ignorant, complaining pig.

I echo John's exhortation. If you haven't read the novels, start now and take them strictly in order. There's is a vein of subtle humour that runs right throughout the series. I have read the series at least six times and will no doubt embark on another journey soon.

Ensure job application process is clear and easy to understand
by Anniken Davenport on September 26, 2018 2:00pm
in Hiring,Human Resources
Is your hiring process clear? Do candidates understand exactly what they need to do to be considered for a job or promotion?
Recent case: Labrittany, who is black, is a registered nurse with several years of experience. She applied for several nursing positions at a hospital.
Records show she filled out two online applications—one for full-time work and another for on-call, part-time assignments. She got an interview for the part-time work and accepted a contract.
Then, because she was really seeking full-time employment, she took another job elsewhere. The hospital removed her from the on-call roster since she was no longer available.
Labrittany sued after she discovered that two white nurses with less experience had been selected for full-time jobs. She claimed discrimination.
The hospital said Labrittany knew she could apply for any open positions and that she had never asked during the interview if full-time was an option. Essentially, the hospital said its hiring process was clear and transparent and it had no idea Labrittany wanted a full-time job when she was interviewing for the on-call job.
The court tossed out Labrittany's lawsuit, concluding that she should have raised the issue or applied again for full-time jobs given how clear the process was. (Hassen v. Ruston Louisiana Hospital, WD LA, 2018)
Final note: Employers aren't required to be clairvoyant. When an applicant comes to an interview apparently interested in a specific job, you can assume that's the one she genuinely wants.
The subtleties of online applications
Make it crystal clear how candidates should apply for jobs. Examples: If you only accept applications online, explain how. If you accept applications in person, designate exactly how applications are to be delivered.
Recent case: Alphago, who is black, learned that a youth services organization was looking for an executive director. Since he met the minimum requirements listed in the job posting, he asked where to submit his résumé or an application. He was told he could apply online or in person. He dropped off his résumé.
When Alphago wasn't interviewed, he sued, alleging race discrimination. The club argued it had no record of his application and that he should have submitted it online. The court sent the case to trial, reasoning that Alphago had applied properly. (Penn-White v. Boys and Girls Club, No. 4:15-CV-640, ED TX, 2017)

Hiring temps onto your staff? Still check their backgrounds


In one of my grandfather's poems, he wrote, "Make your work your hobby and ride cowboy ride!" It was his way of telling us kids to get a job we'd love so we would never have to work a day in our lives.
I've gotten to coach over a thousand new, middle and senior executives, and over that time, I've found that job fit really is the key to success! When you're a good fit, you'll not only be happier, you'll do better work, learn faster, and get more done. When you're not a good fit, you'll be unhappy, less productive, negative, and often resentful. We all know people who feel trapped, stuck and negative. Don't let that be you, and don't let that happen on your team. You'll be better off with some open positions on your team than by having them filled with negative, resentful people pulling everyone down.
There are for kinds of fit: fit with you job, fit with your manager, fit with your team, and fit with your organization.
Fit with your job has to do with your skills and interests. Are you doing what you're good at and what you want to do? If not, you may be a bad fit for the role.
Fit with your manager has to do with connection, support and trust, or lack thereof. Most people don't leave bad jobs, they leave bad managers.
Fit with your team has to do with culture, working relationships, and teamwork. If you shoulder more than your fair share of the work for far too long, if your team members throw you under the bus, or if the norms don't jive with your values, then you're likely feeling the stress of a bad team fit.
Fit with your organization has to do with mission, leadership and culture. If the purpose of your organization doesn't align with your values, you might be a bad fit. If the leadership of your organization goes against your ethics, you might be a bad fit. If the culture of your organization, the patterns and norms of behavior, go against your work ethics, then you might be a bad fit here as well.
How's your fit-ness level? If you have a good fit with all four, congratulations; you're a happy camper. If you have a good fit with three of the four, I'd call you restless but coping. If you're a bad fit with only two of the four, you better be looking if you want to have a decent work life. And if you're a fit with only one or less, you're likely to be miserable, no matter what your paycheck might be, and you'll be on your way out or down at any moment if you don't make a move.
Job fit is the key. It's the nature of a happy career, and taking control of your situation is the nature of self-leadership.


Another Sight is a surreal fantasy game from Lunar Great Studios in which you play as Kit (Katherine) exploring the Victorian underworld of London. The game world is inspired by Neil Gaiman's Mystical Neverwhere, an influence which comes out in the art style as much as the setting.
Pokémon: Let's Go Eevee and Pokémon: Let's Go Pikachu takes the game back to where it all began, but with a big twist – this is the Pokémon adventure you should have had the first time around. At least that's what it feels like when playing Pokémon: Let's Go, the first Pokémon RPG to make it onto the Switch and a retelling of the events of Pokémon Yellow.
In Spring 2019 (it's closer than you think guys) Total War: Three Kingdoms will be released. The next major game in the Total War series will be known by the hallmarks of the previous games: a mix of statecraft, real time tactical battles, and that "one-more-game" feeling.
E3 2018: What's New in Overcooked 2?
Warhammer 40K has a deep and extensive lore with a huge number of games across all kinds of genres dedicated to it. Mechanicus is one of the latest entries into the 40K universe which sees the player take control of the Adeptus Mechanicus. Warhammer 40K Mechanicus is a turn-based tactical RPG approaching the beta stage after 2 years of development, and the progress so far is staggering.
There's no better feeling that when a game surprises you - and that's exactly how I felt after playing the demo of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 at E3 this year.
We Happy Few has been in Early Access for almost two year on Windows now. Those that have played through the short amount that is already available could be forgiven for losing excitement in a game that has seemingly taken an inordinate amount of time to put together. But those people would be wrong.

A Gift That Honors a Life
If you have a loved one who has been impacted by Houston Public Media, establishing a memorial or tribute gift is a meaningful way to honor your loved one or celebrate a special occasion such as a birthday while supporting the work of our mission. Your memorial or tribute gift will be a lasting tribute to your loved one and make a difference in the lives of those we serve.
Check Out This Potential Scenario
When Sarah's father passed away, she knew she wanted to do something that would establish a lasting legacy for him. She remembered that during his lifetime he was always praising Houston Public Media for its tireless efforts to better his community. So Sarah decided to make a gift to Houston Public Media in her father's name using appreciated securities. Not only will her father's legacy live on at Houston Public Media thanks to the gift and a commemorative plaque, but Sarah also received a federal income tax charitable deduction (because she itemizes her taxes) and eliminated capital gains tax on the securities.

Olivia Wilde Urges Airlines to Cut Ties With Censorship Company Over 'Booksmart' Flight Edit
WENN/Derrick Salters
In a series of tweets about the heavy editing of her teen comedy film, the 'Life Itself' actress expresses her disbelief that the word 'vagina' was cut out while a curse word 'f**k' was left untouched.
AceShowbiz - Olivia Wilde has urged all airlines to cut ties with the bosses of a third party company who censor films shown on flights after discovering her movie "Booksmart" had been heavily edited for passengers.
The actress and director was shocked to learn a pivotal lesbian sex scene and a mention of the word "vagina" were cut from the film for a recent flight screening, while the word "f**k" was not removed.
Wilde has since seen the edited version of her film and she's upset the powers that be saw fit to cut her movie even though it opens with a parental guidance disclaimer.
"I finally had the chance to watch an edited version of Booksmart on a flight to see exactly what had been censored," Wilde tweets. "Turns out some airlines work with a third party company that edits the movie based on what they deem inappropriate. Which, in our case, is... female sexuality?".
Olivia Wilde shared her thoughts after watching an edited version of 'Booksmart'.
Olivia adds: "They cut the second half of the animated doll sequence - because naked doll bodies - made for children - are too shocking even with no genitals. Speaking of which, they cut the word 'genitals'. Most disappointingly, they cut most of Amy and Hope's love scene in the bathroom, which involves zero nudity, but does involve an essential plot point for a lead character."
"By the way, they didn't cut ANY cursing. Every 'f**k' is heard loud and clear, sometimes in the same scene where they muted 'vagina'. They showed (character) George (elegantly) deep-throating a microphone but couldn't stomach a consensual love scene between two women."
"What message is this sending to viewers and especially to women? That their bodies are obscene? That their sexuality is shameful? I urge every airline, especially those who pride themselves on inclusivity, to stop working with this third party company, and trust the parental advisory warning to allow viewers to opt out if they choose."
Olivia Wilde continued sharing her thoughts.
Beanie Feldstein and Kaitlyn Dever, who starred in the film, have also spoken out about the cuts - Feldstein tweeted: "We're on the case to get this rectified. Our movie is a beautiful representation of the queer experience as young people. I'm a queer person. So we're getting to the bottom of it, don't worry."
Kaitlyn called the controversy "ridiculous", adding: "I don't even know what to say to that. That makes me so mad."

In January I was invited to sit on the expert panel for Lean Agile Manchester. It was a great honour and a really interesting evening.
A few days before the event, the organiser contact myself and fellow panelists to invite us to bring marketing or promotional materials along. This stumped myself and the other Allegro dev @jjeffries. Our marketing expert had only left the company a week or two earlier. All we had to hand were business cards, but they're a bit boring to leave out on a table next to sushi and beer.
Once folded and working, James numbered the pages and labelled the front and back. Now the challenge of getting that comic, in this book.
I used a google doc in landscape to manipulate the images (some had to be wrapped, the others didn't). Don't forget the images along the bottom half of the A4 will need to be turned upside down.
They went down really well at the event. All 20 (we had 70 attendees) vanished and we were delighted with tweets of happy travellers joyfully reading them on the way home. I no longer had to explain what our company did, I didn't have to drop in a cheeky "we're hiring". In fact, I think people were more delighted that they didn't have to hear my voice any more [after the panel].
I had also deliberately not tweeted that we were hiring that week. Our google analytics showed spikes from my tweets. So we checked and the day after the event we had a good spike on the hiring page! So the experiment worked and we had fun.

In Fernandez v. Bank of America, Case No. CV 17-6104-MWF (JCx) (C.D. Cal. Nov. 27, 2018), the defendant bank employed mortgage loan officers who were paid primarily by commission. Anticipating increases in the salary requirements under the FLSA, it reclassified the loan officers from exempt to non-exempt in 2016. According to the court's opinion, between commissions and other incentives, these employees could earn between approximately $30,000 and more than $600,000 annually. The plaintiffs, a group of loan officers, brought suit, contending that they had been misclassified and that the bank had failed to provide them separate compensation for time spent in training and other activities that did not directly generate commissions. They asserted claims not only under California law but also under the Fair Labor Standards Act. They moved the court for certification of the class under California law and for conditional certification under the FLSA.
The court denied both motions, and in doing so rejected several common arguments made by plaintiffs in this arena. First, the court noted that the plaintiffs were chiefly challenging the bank's incentive program, but that while they correctly noted that the same program applied to all the loan officers, they could not point to anything specifically illegal about it. Similarly, the court found no policy directing any particular number of hours for non-commission work. It found the reclassification of the mortgage loan officers meaningless, as reclassification could have occurred for any number of reasons. Following Ninth Circuit authority, the court also found that the potential existence of multiple exemptions would make determination of exempt status particularly difficult on a class-wide basis. It therefore refused to certify the class under California law.
For much the same reasons, the court denied conditional certification under the FLSA. While it recognized that the FLSA's standard was lower, and although it applied the lenient standard for conditional certification, it found that there was not even enough proof of a common practice to support such an order. It noted in particular that the FLSA class extended well beyond California, and the plaintiffs had failed to account for geographic differences as well as the lack of a uniform policy containing an illegal term.
The Fernandez case is a refreshing example of a court engaging in a careful review of the plaintiffs' allegations, and in particular whether there logically is a cohesive class, when considering class certification. It is also worthwhile because of its rejection of common arguments that fail to stand up under reasonable scrutiny.
A common policy should not support even conditional certification if there is nothing illegal about it.

Комплекс бога — непоколебимое убеждение, которое характеризуется завышенными ощущениями личных способностей, привилегий или непогрешимости. Человек с комплексом бога склонен к отказу признавать свои ошибки или неудачи, даже при наличии неопровержимых доказательств. Такой человек обычно имеет высокий уровень догматичности относительно своих взглядов — говорит о своих личных взглядах как о безусловно правильных. Некоторые люди с комплексом бога могут игнорировать правила и требования общества, требуя специальных привилегий.

Комплекс Иеговы
Комплекс Иеговы — схожий термин, используемый в аналитической психологии для описания невроза эгоистической самоинфляции. Используется, помимо прочего, в психоаналитических текстах с психоисторией и биографией. Например,  использовал этот термин в отношении Зигмунда Фрейда в биографии 1924 года. Г. Е. Барнз использовал этот термин в отношении Джорджа Вашингтона и Эндрю Джексона.

Комплекс Бога не является клиническим термином или заболеванием и не входит в Диагностическое и статистическое руководство по психическим расстройствам (DSM).

Первым, кто использовал термин «комплекс бога», был Эрнест Джонс (1913-1951). На страницах «Очерки прикладного психоанализа» он описывает его как веру человека в то, что он является богом.

As China becomes an increasingly important player in the international community, there are questions about how the country should exert its burgeoning economic and military power. Although attention is mostly directed towards the South and East China Seas, where several hot spots threaten to undermine regional stability, there are some influential voices in China's foreign policy establishment that have begun advocating for greater attention to the areas beyond China's western borders, namely Central Asia and the Middle East. Coming on the heels of America's 'pivot' to Asia, this new strategy, known as "Marching West," potentially represents a new shift in Chinese geopolitical thinking.
The idea of Marching West, recently espoused by Wang Jisi, a famous academic at Peking University, offers several compelling benefits for China and its future trajectory in the international arena. Most importantly for Sino-US relations, it presents a potential avenue for future cooperation between the two countries that is often missing in the zero-sum environment of South and East Asia. While big issues such as Taiwan and America's naval presence in the Asia-Pacific region will remain delicate problems in the foreseeable future, Central Asia and the Middle East are home to a host of issues on which the two sides can find agreement. These include combating terrorism, resolving the Israeli-Palestinian impasse, ending the Syrian conflict, and finding a solution to Iran's nuclear program.[i] Many Americans may look askance at this extension of China's global reach, but it is a pragmatic solution to resolving the problems in the region, especially in light of America's desire to reduce its presence and China's increasing ability to make an impact further beyond its borders.
Although Marching West is not official Party doctrine—nor will it be anytime soon due to the tensions in East and South Asia—there is evidence that the country is trying to become a bigger player with its neighbors to the west. Most recently, at the beginning of May, China hosted both Israeli and Palestinian leaders to discuss a host of issues, including the Israeli-Palestinian question.[v] The Chinese foreign ministry publicly announced its willingness to facilitate a meeting between the countries' leaders, although this was more of a formality than any real attempt at bringing them together. Nevertheless, it does show a willingness on the part of China to take a more active role in a conflict in which it has traditionally remained silent.
Similarly, China has begun pouring billions of dollars into many countries' economies, including war-torn Iraq and Afghanistan. One may question the motives behind China's actions, but there is little doubt that such investment increases China's presence in the region at a level unforeseen before. In Afghanistan, many see China as the country's largest foreign investor, driven largely by a $3.5 billion project intended to exploit what is touted to be the largest undeveloped copper mine in the world.[vi] Likewise, China has recently sought to increase its ties with Pakistan, promising to set up a so-called economic corridor to further connect their economies.[vii] If the corridor promises become reality, it would not only significantly improve Pakistan's economy, but also secure greater prosperity for China's underdeveloped western provinces.
Although Marching West offers many benefits for the US, China, and others, it will certainly encounter many obstacles. For one thing, other influential countries in the region, most notably Russia and India, will likely be suspicious of China's actions in their backyards. Perhaps this explains why Xi Jinping and Li Keqiang opted to take their first respective foreign trips to Russia and India. Secondly, increasing involvement in Central Asia could make China vulnerable to Islamist extremists in its western provinces, most notably Xinjiang, which borders Afghanistan and is already home to many separatist groups. Lastly, America will remain suspicious of any efforts by China to expand its global presence.
Despite these obstacles, Marching West should be considered a serious alternative for China's geostrategic thinking. Not only does it offer benefits for many different countries, but it may also reduce a future collision between the US and China. Although South and East Asia will remain priorities for China, it would be wise to consider how the country can maximize its potential as a continental land power in Central Asia and the Middle East.

A multi-million dollar campaign on a referendum included on the Nov. 2 statewide ballot to repeal a law (SB 2) requiring some employers to provide health insurance to workers or pay into a state fund to provide such coverage.
Walters also cites as examples of health care issues' influence over the state's political agenda the "emergence of managed care as a dominant factor in health services," state regulation of a proposed merger between health insurers Anthem and WellPoint and legislation addressing the "scope of practice" of certain medical specialists -- including plastic and oral surgeons, ophthalmologists and optometrists, and psychiatrists and psychologists (Walters, Sacramento Bee , 6/9).
