Producers & Directors
Also called: Artistic Director, Director, News Producer, Producer
To craft an entertaining production takes both creative vision and leadership skills. Based on a writer's script, producers and directors create movies, videos, television shows, live theater, and commercials. Producers make the business and financial decisions for a production. They raise money and hire the director and crew. Producers set the budget and approve any major changes to the project. They make sure that the production is completed on time, and hold the responsibility for the final product. Directors make the creative decisions. They select the cast, run rehearsals, and guide actors' portrayal of their characters. At early phases, directors work closely with costume and set designers and location scouts to set the right scene. After a film is shot, they consult with the film editors and music directors to ensure the final product matches their vision. For live performances, stage directors support a consistent, strong performance. Work hours in these fields are often long and irregular, and pressure to finish projects on time is constant. Employment may be temporary, and travel is common… whether to tour with a theater production, or shoot a TV show or movie on location. A combination of a bachelor's degree and several years' related work experience is the usual path to enter these fields. A background in acting, film and video editing, or cinematography are typical.
Produce or direct stage, television, radio, video, or film productions for entertainment, information, or instruction. Responsible for creative decisions, such as interpretation of script, choice of actors or guests, set design, sound, special effects, and choreography.
Write and edit news stories from information collected by reporters and other sources.
Plan details such as framing, composition, camera movement, sound, and actor movement for each shot or scene.
Communicate to actors the approach, characterization, and movement needed for each scene in such a way that rehearsals and takes are minimized.

Usa Voucher Leadpages
They're a reasonably mobile-friendly method and they supply a simple service for adding CTAs to pages that might not otherwise generate leads. When again, Leadpages makes these extremely simple to establish and you won't need to handle any code or plugins to utilize Alert Bars. Combined with exit-intent popups, these can make a genuine difference to your landing page conversion rates.
Unfortunately, Leadpages quickly loses if you actually start utilizing other landing page home builders. There are a number of factors for this. Usa Voucher Leadpages. Unbounce is more expensive than Leadpages however you get endless A/B testing on every variation of its platform and you also get an extensive variety of optimisation functions.
Unbounce's page builder is exceptional also, really making it fast and easy to build and personalize landing pages. This is one area where Leadpages really frustrates and it's tough to forgive this in a landing page platform. Something else that eliminated Leadpages for us was its restricted form choices.
We can't do this with Leadpages. Instapage likewise provides you unlimited A/B testing on its standard "Core" strategy and its landing page home builder is probably the finest I have actually used so far. Among Instapage's standout features is its heatmapping tool. This is an important optimisation tool for landing pages and you'll need to incorporate Leadpages or Unbounce with a third-party platform for this, such as Hotjar. You can check out our Hotjar evaluation here. Leadpages aims to offer a landing page home builder for smaller services and its pricing policy looks pretty appropriate at a glance.
If it makes A/B screening completely readily available on every version of its platform, then the cost effective costs of its Requirement plan become a genuine asset. At this point, you basically have to pay up for its Pro version and this puts you near Instapage prices – Usa Voucher Leadpages. The other 2 issues I have is the lack of customisation choices on Leadpages' templates, which makes it hard to match the branding and design on existing websites.
Now, the engine of any landing page tool is the home builder (also called an editor). This is where you change a generic design template into your customized landing page. Sadly, we had major challenges and aggravations with this aspect of Leadpages. It is a pity since they do have some good other functions.
Something to note is that Leadpages (the business) is really much in transition as we speak. They released their new drag and drop editor in March. This is a significant paradigm shift for them. In July, Leadpages acquired Drip, a lightweight SMB marketing automation tool (Usa Voucher Leadpages). Weeks later on, Leadpages laid off 12% of its staff (due to reorganization not monetary troubles).
So we can cut them some slack, but all of this is irrelevant to what tool you buy. It's tough to feel bad for Leadpages. They are the largest SaaS landing page tool. Over 43,000 consumers utilize the tool. They received $27 million in funding last year. Leadpages isn't going anywhere.
There are many landing page home builders out now. Many are a portion of Leadpages rates. Leadpages remains in a competitive field without an excellent offering. However being # 1 in size does not mean having the very best item. Leadpages owes a lot to their wonderful marketing. You should inspect out their appealing podcast, totally free marketing courses, and a number of other resources.
While we understand Leadpages Drag and Drop Editor remains in 'early gain access to', we believe the tool will be far behind competitors for a long time. As pointed out, beyond the two editors we like some Leadpages features like Leadlinks. But these are secondary. Most are better off with other services, even those with little to no technical-savvyLeadpages scored a 7.25 out of 10 ranking them # 12 versus other landing page builders.
You can find the breakdown of this score listed below to see precisely how we concerned this number. Coming up in this Leadpages review we will cover Leadpages rates, features, combinations and much more (Usa Voucher Leadpages).
Please log in again. The login page will open in a new tab. After visiting you can close it and return to this page. As you'll discover in this Leadpages review, the web-based platform promises to give you the tools you'll require to publish high-converting landing pages for your lead-generation campaigns. Leadpages is the best choice for individuals with the cash to invest in a tool that will let them create stunning and high-converting landing pages and opt-in boxes.
Through these landing pages, users will have the ability to trigger users to offer their e-mail or other pertinent information. At the heart of Leadpages is the, a user friendly tool that enables users to deal with templates and modify the details as required. You will see later on how the editor works.
Honestly, there's a lot to like about Leadpages. But the tool is far from ideal. Let's break down the pros and cons (Usa Voucher Leadpages). For the average user, Leadpages will be sufficient to fulfill your list building objectives. At the end of the day, all you require is a nice landing page that will wow your audience.
It really does not require any previous coding or style experience. The sheer variety of offered design templates would be ample to get you started on the right track. There's a design template for practically every circumstance. Alternatives vary from webinar pages, thank you pages, item launch pages, checkout pages, and even 404 pages.
You can utilize Leadpages no matter what CMS you're using. It can support WordPress, Joomla, Squarespace, and more. The bulk of this Leadpages review was concentrated on the landing page builder but let's not forget that subscribers also get access to Leadboxes. There's no rejecting the fact that pop-up boxes are reliable and can result in conversions that would otherwise be missed out on if not for Leadboxes.
Individuals who are extremely specific about their landing page designs can battle with the tool's user interface. The tool can likewise decrease every once in a while which can be frustrating especially for people who are on a tight due date. Leadpages themselves encourage users not utilize their basic design templates. There's barely any customization alternatives.

Deneb (/ˈdɛnɛb/; α Cyg, α Cygni, Alpha Cygni) é a estrela mais brilhante da constelação do Cisne, ou Cygnus,  Com uma magnitude aparente de 1.25, é a décima-nona estrela mais brilhante do céu terrestre. Deneb forma com Vega e Altair o chamado Triângulo de Verão.

Características

A magnitude absoluta de Deneb é de -7.21, o que a coloca entre as mais luminosas estrelas conhecidas, apesar de estar cerca de trinta vezes mais longe da Terra do que as restantes.

Deneb tem um raio de aproximadamente 110 vezes o do Sol. Curiosamente as estrelas que compõem o Triângulo de Verão apresentam temperaturas superficiais similares, sendo Vega a mais quente com 9600 K (Kelvin) e Deneb a radiar a 8400 K. Deneb é a estrela mais pálida do Triângulo de Verão com magnitude aparente 1,25. Ela encontra-se em 19º lugar na lista das mais brilhantes (brilho aparente) do céu (contando com as estrelas do Hemisfério Sul), logo a seguir da estrela Becrux (beta Crucis - que é variável; da constelação Crux - Cruzeiro do Sul). A estrela situa-se a 1600 anos-luz de distância. Trata-se de uma supergigante branco-azulada cujo tipo espectral é A2Ia. Vista com binóculo surge uma cor branca e não branco-azulada como Sirius e Vega.

A radiação de Deneb é tão forte, que se a Terra a orbitasse, precisaria fazê-lo a 10 vezes distância de Plutão em relação ao Sol. Sugere-se que Deneb está fundindo hélio em carbono em seu interior, mas não há certeza disso.

Tamanho
Deneb é verdadeiramente uma das maiores estrelas da Galáxia, bem maior, por exemplo, que a conhecida Rigel mas de menores dimensões que os "monstros" estelares Betelgeuse e Antares. Se a estrela tomasse o lugar do centro do Sistema Solar, a sua "superfície" estenderia à órbita da Terra. Longe de ser a maior estrela na Galáxia, Deneb é, no entanto, uma das maiores do seu género, ou seja, dentro da sua classe espectral e temperatura superficial. Também o Universo tem os seus "monstros". Apesar de Deneb e Vega apresentarem brilho de semelhante magnitude para um observador na Terra, a primeira está 300 vezes mais longe que a segunda estrela. Caso a distância estabelecida esteja correcta, se a estrela em questão estivesse no lugar de Sirius, Deneb rivalizaria em brilho com a Lua!

Etimologia e outras designações
O nome da estrela provém do termo arábico medieval Al Dhanab al Dajajah, que significa a "cauda da galinha". Convém lembrar que os árabes davam o nome galinha à constelação Cygnus, daí aquele termo.

Outras designações: Henry Draper (HD) 197345, Bonner Durchmusterung (BD) +44°3541, Aitken Double Star (ADS) 14172, Hoffleit Bright Star (HR) 7924, Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) 49941, Fifth Fundamental Catalogue (FK5) 777, Hipparcos Input Catalog (HIC) 102098, Caltech 2-microns Survey (IRC) +50337

Q: $S_7$ is isomorphic to subgroup of all those elements of of $S_8$ that sends $8$ to $8$ I have to show that $S_7$ is isomorphic to the subgroup of all those elements of $S_8$ that sends $8$ to $8$.
My attempt: let $H$ be subgroup of $S_8$ such that all elements of $H$ sends $8$ to $8$ that is, all elements of $H$ fix the symbol $8$. I had defined map $f$ from  $H$ to $S_7$ such that if $\alpha\in H$ then $f(\alpha)= \beta$ where $\beta= \left(\begin{smallmatrix} 1 & 2 & \cdots & 7\\ \alpha(1) & \alpha(2) & \cdots & \alpha(7)\end{smallmatrix}\right)$
I had already proved that $f$ is bijective. But I am not able to show $f$ is homomorphism (operation preserving) map. i.e. how to show $f(\alpha_1\alpha_2)= f(\alpha_1)f(\alpha_2)$
Please help.

A: In general, let $X$ be a set and $Y \subseteq X$. For a given bijection $u$ on $X \setminus Y$, any bijection $\alpha$ on $Y$ can be extended to a bijection $f_u(\alpha)$ on $X$ by:
\begin{alignat}{1}
&f_u(\alpha)_{|Y}:=\alpha \\
&f_u(\alpha)_{|X \setminus Y}:=u \\
\tag 1
\end{alignat}
Note that $f_u(\alpha)=f_u(\beta) \Rightarrow f_u(\alpha)_{|Y}=f_u(\beta)_{|Y} \Rightarrow \alpha=\beta$, so that $f_u$ is injective for all $u \in \operatorname{Sym}(X \setminus Y)$. Moreover,
$$f_u(\alpha\beta)=f_u(\alpha)f_u(\beta) \iff u=\iota_{X \setminus Y} \tag 2$$
($\iota_A$ is the identical map on the set $A$: $\iota_A(a)=a$ for every $a \in A$.) Therefore, if we take $u=\iota_{X \setminus Y}$, we have $f_u : {\rm{Sym}}(Y) \hookrightarrow {\rm{Sym}}(X)$. Now, take $Y:=\{1,\dots,7\}\subseteq X:=\{1,\dots,8\}$, and you're done.

A: $\newcommand{\l}[1]{\{1,2,\ldots,#1\}}$
First, I make the map explicit.
Let $\phi \in S_8$ be a map sending $8$ to $8$. We define $$f(\phi) : \l{7} \to \l{7} \quad ; \quad (f(\phi))(x) = \phi(x)$$
Now we have to prove that $f(\phi)\circ f(\psi) = f (\phi \circ \psi)$ for every $\phi,\psi \in S_8$ which send $8$ to $8$.
To do this, simply check what each side is, evaluated at some $x \in \l{7}$.
By definition, we have \begin{align}
f(\phi \circ \psi)(x)  = &\phi \circ \psi(x) &\text{definition of $f$} \\ =& \phi(\psi(x)) &\text{definition of composition} \\ = &\phi((f(\psi))(x)) &\text{definition of $f$, inner bracket} \\
= &\big(f(\phi)\big) \big((f(\psi))(x)\big) &\text{see *  below}
\\ =& [f(\phi) \circ f(\psi)](x) &\text{definition of composition}
\end{align}
for all $x$, hence $f(\phi \circ \psi) = f(\phi) \circ f(\psi)$. We get the homomorphism property.

(*) The way this is is being applied is that $\phi(y) = (f(\phi)) (y)$ for any $ y$ by definition of $f$. Now simply put $y = (f(\psi))(x)$ to get that statement.

Bad romance: catphishing explained
Posted: November 15, 2017 by Jovi Umawing
You may have heard of catfishing, where people lure romancers online by faking their identity. But what about catphishing? This dangerous practice uses similar romantic triggers, only its goal is to dupe users and businesses out of personal info.
You've heard or read about some variant of this story before: Girl meets Boy on a dating website. Girl falls in love. Boy claims he does, too. Girl is excited to meet Boy soon. But at the last minute, Girl finds out that Boy (1) had an accident and broke a hip; (2) has a very sick relative he needs to look after; (3) is going away to a secluded place to "find himself"—you're not the problem, he is, right?; or (4) (through a helpful and mournful friend) is dead.
Suddenly suspect, Girl digs a little deeper. Girl finds out that Boy isn't the dreamboat he portrays himself to be. Boy is, in fact, her female colleague's timid 13-year old son whom she met once at a work function.
Bummer, right? Here's another one:
Two months ago, Deloitte revealed that it was breached by hackers, who most likely already had access to compromised servers since November 2016. Around the same time, a cybersecurity staffer at Deloitte was convinced to open a booby-trapped Excel file from a female friend he met on Facebook months before. Her name was "Mia Ash," a London-based photographer. She was described as lovely and disarming.
She was also 100 percent fake.
Mia Ash is the latest in a lengthening line of online femme fatales who successfully infiltrated corporate systems by targeting and successfully duping smart men working in IT and cybersecurity—people who everyone expects to practice what they preach. Her equally fake predecessors went by the names of Robin Sage and Emily Williams. Although all three were created as social engineering lures, one significant difference stood out: Sage and Williams were the brainchildren of cybersecurity experts who wanted to expose the human weakness in the national defense and intelligence communities. Ash, on the other hand, was the product of a known Iranian APT group who deliberately took advantage of that weakness to achieve their nation-state goals.
Two very different stories, one common theme: romantic deception.
What is catphishing?
Catfishing (spelled with an "f") is a kind of online deception wherein a person creates a presence in social networks as a sock puppet or a fictional online persona for the purpose of luring someone into a relationship—usually a romantic one—in order to get money, gifts, or attention. Catphishing (spelled with a "ph") is similar, but with the intent of gaining rapport and (consequently) access to information and/or resources that the unknowing target has rights to.
Simply put, the former is out to break hearts (and bank accounts), while the latter is out to compromise individuals, organizations, and quite possibly even countries.
Can we say that catphishing has gone beyond bad romancing for money? Absolutely.
What motivates catphishers to do what they do?
The motivations behind the act are likely similar to why spies steal secrets: to make use of the stolen information to gain the upper hand against the target or organization they belong to. As we all know, stolen information in the hands of criminals can be used in many ways—for extortion, for sale on the black market. However, in the end, the organization that was compromised loses integrity, clients, business opportunities, and gets fined if they were found to be non-compliant with security and privacy regulations.
Catphishing is dangerous enough that most companies consider it a business threat.
On the other hand, those catphishing individuals might also use the information they gather from individuals to create even more social media profiles. Sometimes, catphishers mislead simply to bully people online.
Read: Tackling the myths surrounding cyberbullying
Blimey. Those catphishers ought to pay for what they've done!
Unfortunately, in many countries, catphishing (and catfishing) isn't illegal. In the UK, "catfishing" is not even a legally-defined term. Although, at present, the practice is pretty much legal, active campaigns are aiming to change this.
In the US, Oklahoma is the only state that made catfishing illegal.
Although one cannot lawfully pin catfishing/catphishing against someone, there are other legal areas that those affected by the practice can look into and decide whether they want to pursue these instead. They are (but are not limited to) the following:
Copyright violation (for photos stolen and used in the deception)
Criminal impersonation
How can we protect ourselves from this?
Start by familiarizing yourselves with the following red flags, which indicate that you may be dealing with a catphisher online:
Everything that they claim to be seems too good to be true.
If you meet them on a dating website, and they suggest getting in touch with you via other means, such as email and other chat services.
They show no interest in a face-to-face meeting or even in using voice chat services.
Most (if not all) photos they use don't include other people.
Quite a number of their social media followers appear to be sockpuppet accounts.
They ask a lot of information about you early on in the relationship like how much you earn, what kind of home you live in, and where your parents are (to name a few).
Stay safe out there!

Is The Flash's Nash Wells Good Or Bad?
Mick Joest
Nov. 7. 2019 5:34 AM
Warning! The following contains spoilers for The Flash. Read at your own risk.
Season 6 of The Flash has been crazy as Team Flash simultaneously works to fight the new big bad Bloodwork and prepares for the oncoming "Crisis" happening a little over a month from now. It sounds overwhelming, though the team should be grateful. The Monitor revealed the key to saving the lives of billions. The bad news, of course, is that it will come at the cost of Barry Allen's life.
Team Flash wants to save the world, but also Barry as well. And wouldn't you know it! It just so happens the new Harrison Wells, a.k.a. Nash Wells, has been operating in the background and supposedly has a plan in mind that will allow them to do exactly that. Is this just another "Good Wells" coming through at a clutch moment, or is there a chance The Flash has another "Evil Wells" on its hands. Let's examine that, and whether or not this mysterious newcomer even is who he says he is.
Why Nash Wells Could Be A Good Wells
Team Flash is always very wary of incarnations of Harrison Wells, and to be honest, it's a little unfair. Out of all the Wells the show has featured, only one of them turned out to be evil, and he's actually Eobard Thawne taking on the face of Harrison Wells. Sure, the rest have been gruff and a little arrogant, but they've all generally been upstanding guys.
Nash Wells came in hot, and he immediately rubbed Cisco the wrong way, but what else is new? He's just doing the things a usual Wells would do but his alpha Indiana Jones-esque persona amplifies the more unsavory parts of his character tenfold. Joe seemed to set him straight in their time together, and now he's finally ready to bring Team Flash into his plan that will apparently save Barry Allen.
So far, this is playing out like the Wells story arcs of the past. If all goes according to plan, Team Flash will help, someone will get paranoid Nash Wells is disingenuous in his intentions, and Wells will ultimately check out as clean. Perhaps The Flash's writers are legitimately throwing Team Flash a bone here, and giving them a Wells who may be a big help as they prepare for their biggest fight to date.
Why Nash Wells Could Be An Evil Wells
Let's be real. How many times has a character in The Flash promised to do something for Team Flash in exchange for their help only to do the exact opposite? These double-crosses are a hallmark of The CW series, so it's not a stretch to believe that Nash Wells is yet another villain manipulating Team Flash to further his own evil ambitions.
It's also kind of weird that Nash Wells has been essentially dropping bread crumbs about this material he's in search of to Team Flash since his arrival. It's like he has been baiting them into getting involved since the beginning, but was slowly trying to gain their trust first before the big ask of help. What if that whole getting "trapped" business with Joe was just an elaborate scenario to establish some trust between the two of them?
Are we really supposed to believe a Wells who isn't H.R. isn't aware of the composition of the Earth he's on? He doesn't seem unintelligent, yet he nearly killed himself and Joe in a pretty rash and stupid decision? If there are any fans that feel like there's something a little fishy in this situation, I don't blame them. Team Flash may get blindsided yet again, and I'm hoping that, for once, someone is ready for the betrayal and turns the tables!
Nash Wells Is Not Who He Says He Is
Good or bad, I think it's fair to speculate that Wells Nash is not who he says he is. Carlos Valdes recently teased something was up with the character in an interview with TV Guide. To summarize, Valdes said to "never trust a Wells," which could work towards the Evil Wells theory as well, but certainly plays to the fact that Nash Wells isn't actually Nash Wells.
In a shock that should surprise no one, Tom Cavanagh won't just be portraying Nash Wells in The Flash Season 6. He's also playing DC Character Pariah, who was somewhat responsible for the release of Anti-Monitor. He's not a bad guy, but he's very much entangled in the drama between the Monitor and Anti-Monitor, and may be looking for a way to prevent the destruction of multiple worlds. That means his intentions are probably related to stopping the Anti-Monitor, though he may just be saying he can save Barry to get Team Flash's help.
Let's also remember that Reverse-Flash is still out there, and he's kind of famous for consistently tricking Team Flash into helping him. In DC Comics, Reverse-Flash is essentially a right-hand-man to the Anti-Monitor, and the newspaper has revealed he and Barry get into some battle during the Crisis. This could be one version of him for sure, though you'd like to think Team Flash wouldn't be dumb enough to fall for this trick yet again.
Then there's the scenario that Nash Wells isn't either of those people, but also not Nash Wells either. This feels like the most unlikely of scenarios, though The Flash has had enough twists and turns over the years that it's really hard to rule anything out. That's especially true the closer we get to "Crisis On Infinite Earths," where the world will get progressively crazier as people from other worlds join forces to stop the destruction of all life. Man, wouldn't it suck if there were two evil, but entirely unrelated Wells?

Inteuoan Catca
Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent
Itzpapalotl, the Obsidian Butterfly
Tlaloc, the God of Storms
Atalacoya, Lady of Barren Lands
Xiuhtecuhtli, Lord of Fire
I began writing Inteuoan Catca[1] in the summer of 2015. The first movement Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent was intended for a contest I entered that year. After I began my master's in composition I was encouraged by my professor and couple of friends to expand this piece into a suite for flute. As a result, Inteuoan Catca was created.
Inteuoan catca is a phrase from the Nahuatl language, spoke by the Aztec people before the Spanish invasion, meaning "their former gods," which I ran across during my research on a University of Oregon's Wired Humanities Project. Each movement in this piece is named after a god from the Aztec pantheon.
Movement one is titled Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent. Quetzalcoatl is probably the most famous of the deities in this set and is often depicted as a feathered serpent winding his way through the jungles of South America. This piece starts out with a series of slow repeated notes that gradually get faster and slows again. This is followed by quick sections that is built on a pentatonic scale. These runs are used to insinuate Quetzalcoatl's bird like nature. Several series of runs the performer uses a technique called Flatterzung (German for Flutter Tongue), which gives the melody rattle like quality, which is used to depict this hissing of a snake. This is then followed by a return to the fast scale-like passage.
Itzpapalotl, the Obsidian Butterfly is a goddess of death associated with infant mortality. She is often depicted as a butterfly with claws made of obsidian. She is the leader of a band of malevolent women who died during child birth. This piece is built using the Minor-Major Seventh Chord. This chord is often used in Jazz. The chord has an uneasy quality which makes it great for this piece. The piece is juxtaposed between fast passages in triple meter and slower more meandering sections in duple meter.
Tlaloc, is the God of Storms, uses a lot of extended techniques for the flute to create the caricature of this deity. The piece opens with the wind blowing, which is depicted by the performer blowing through the instrument without producing a standard tone which is followed by key clicks used to depict the beginning of rain fall.
Atalacoya, Lady of Barren Lands is the goddess of drought. This slow piece is marked Largo in modo scarno, which translates to "Slow and solemn in a gaunt like manner." The piece incorporates the use of multiphonics, a technique where the flute sounds more than one pitch at a time. These are used to create a eerie repressive feeling.
The Final piece in this set Xiuhtecuhtli, Lord of Fire is a fast-paced chromatic piece that uses trills and runs to depict the turning and crackling of fire.
I would like to thank Emily Eubanks for all of her help on this piece. Without her insight, and encouragement this piece would have never come to be. Inteuoan Catca is dedicated to her.

Quetzalcoatl, The Feathered Serpent was premiered in 2015 by Emily Eubanks at Oklahoma City University during a Project 21 Concert.


It is reported in the Guardian that murder cases will be given just one prosecutor as the Crown Prosectution Services is pressured to cut costs.
Barristers and victim support groups have expressed concerns that in some murder trials, including forthcoming cases involving multiple defendants, the Crown Prosecution Service is instructing a single counsel for the prosecution.
The Guardian has learned of a murder case in which a single barrister without a junior counsel has been instructed for the prosecution in a trial with potentially four defendants. Each defendant is likely to have both a junior and leading counsel, meaning that a single prosecutor could face as many as eight defence counsel.
The College of Law (CoL) is warning the profession that training contract vacancies are expected to exceed the number of students completing the Legal Practice Course (LPC).
According to the CoL a shortfall could arise as early as this year and may jump considerably in 2011-12, meaning there are 14 per cent more available training contracts than students passing the LPC in that year, a graduate shortfall of around 550.
It is in stark contrast with statistics published by the Law Society last week, which revealed that despite 14,510 LPC places being available to law students across two modes of study in 2009-10, only 4,874 training contracts were registered between 1 August 2009 to 31 July 2010.
The Sunbeds Regulation Act 2010 now in force, means that under 18 year olds are no longer allowed to purchase time on a sunbed.
Six per cent of 11 to 17-year-olds in England previously used sunbeds, rising to 50% of 15 to 17-year-olds girls in some areas.
Sunbeds increase the risk of getting skin cancer, with an estimated 100 deaths a year as a result. Two people under 35 are diagnosed with the deadliest form of skin cancer every day in the UK.
Businesses who fail to comply with the new rules could be fined up to £20,000 if they allow anyone under 18 to use their sunbeds.
In Wales, from 31 October, sunbed use will have to be supervised, under-18s will not be able to buy or hire beds themselves and all adults will have to wear protective eyewear.
Last week, the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) launched a product that will provide legal documentation and advice to its small business customers. A clear indication how Tesco's law may look in the future, and how law firms may be squeezed out of some markets.
The service, Smarta Business Builder, incorporates a range of online accounting, business and legal services, with legal software provided by Epoq.
The package provides business clients with a suite of legal documents required to set up a business, such as shareholder agreements.
Premium users access legal advice provided by FirstAssist.
Mr Beesley, a property developer who carried out a "deliberate, elaborate and sustained plan" to outwit planners has finally lost a legal battle over the £500,000 home he built disguised as a hay barn.
Mr Beesley was granted permission in 2001 to build a barn for agricultural use only, but fitted it out as a luxury house complete with three bedrooms – two with en suite bathrooms – a study, living room, a garage and gym.
From the outside, the property, North Brook Meadow, near Potters Bar, Hertfordshire, looks like any other hay barn with a curved roof, no windows, and surrounded by farmyard machinery.
Mr Beesley, 38, and his 35-year-old wife Sarah moved into the completed property in 2002 and applied for a certificate of lawfulness four years later on the basis that the time for enforcement action against the use of the building as a dwelling had expired.
Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council refused but an inspector appointed by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government allowed Mr Beesley's appeal in 2008. This was reversed at the High Court the following year.
But the next twist in the legal battle came last year when a panel of three appeal judges ruled immunity from enforcement had been established. The council then appealed to the Supreme Court and the seven justices unanimously ruled in its favour, setting aside the certificate of lawfulness relating to the property.
The justices ruled that there had been no change of use within the section of the Town and Country Planning Act which imposes a four-year time limit for taking enforcement action against breaches of planning control, and that, in any event, Mr Beesley's "dishonest" conduct meant he could not rely on the section.
"On any possible view the whole scheme was in the highest degree dishonest and any law-abiding citizen would be not merely shocked by it but astonished to suppose that, once discovered, instead of being enforced against, it would be crowned with success, with Mr Beesley entitled to a certificate of lawful use to prove it.

The Bar Council, which represents barristers in England and Wales, along with the four Inns of Court, has launched a new careers website to provide a range of accessible information to school and university students. 'Become a barrister' (www.become-a-barrister.com) is a new portal for anyone interested in a career at the Bar and includes a series of films and case studies aimed at demystifying entry to the profession.
The portal will be launched at Inner Temple, and will include contributions from the Chairman of the Bar, Peter Lodder QC, the Master of the Rolls, Lord Neuberger of Abbotsbury and the Treasurer of Inner Temple, Lady Justice Hallett.
"I am delighted that we are able to launch become a barrister today and to continue to highlight the importance of enabling the best candidates to come to the Bar, regardless of background. Whether through a coordinated 'speakers for schools' programme, a placement scheme with the Social Mobility Foundation, supporting the Citizenship Foundation's Bar National Mock Trials Competition or a number of other initiatives, the Bar Council is determined to make a difference.
"Alongside these efforts, we are also launching the Bar Barometer, an annual report on statistical trends within the Bar, so that we can monitor the effect of these activities over a period of time. Whilst there is still much more that we can do, I am confident that we are on the right track.
Bar Barometer' shows that while women make up only 34% of practising barristers, they account for nearly half of employed barristers – ie those based 'in-house' at a law firm or company, or those working for the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) or Government Legal Service (GLS).
Figures issued by the Ministry of Justice show a confusing picture of reoffending.
rose by 16.0 per cent.
Reconviction rates are notoriously difficult to measure, but these figures do confirm the findings last autumn (reported here) that a majority of convicted criminals continue with a life of crime and are not deterred or rehabilitated.

Jamal Crawford can still play the game of basketball pretty well, despite being over 40.
A video of Crawford playing in an adult league surfaced on social media on Monday night and it showed him still crossing other players up.
He was also knocking down jumpers left and right throughout the game.
NBA fans are flabbergasted that Crawford can still play like this at his age.
Crawford played in the NBA for 21 seasons before retiring at the end of the 2019-20 season. He's also widely regarded as one of the best ball handlers in NBA history.
For his career, he averaged 14 points, two rebounds, and three assists per game while shooting 41% from the floor.
Crawford played for nine different teams during his time in the league but spent the most amount of time with the Knicks and Clippers (five seasons each).
Who knows, maybe a team will see that video and try to sign him to a contract for this upcoming season.

U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue
Secretary Perdue upbeat on finalized ERS site selection
Goal remains to relocate more than 500 ERS and NIFA employees to Kansas City Region by September 2019.
Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue informed his employees at the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service (ERS) and National Institute for Food & Agriculture (NIFA) on Thursday that their new offices will be housed in the Kansas City Region. The end goal remains to increase efficiency and effectiveness and bring important resources to stakeholders, Perdue said.
While speaking to media Thursday afternoon, Perdue said he does not know how many of the proposed 547 employees set to relocate will make the decision to move. "Our goal is to relocate everyone who wants to go. This is not an operation to leave anyone behind," Perdue said. "We hope most, if not all, will go with the USDA family to the new location."
Related: Kansas City selected as new ERS, NIFA site
Out of NIFA's 315 positions, 294 will relocate, while 21 will stay in the National Capitol Region. Of the 329 ERS positions, 253 will relocate, and 76 will stay in the Washington, D.C., area.
As a result of this move, no ERS or NIFA employees will be involuntarily separated. Every employee who wants to continue working will have an opportunity to do so, although that will mean moving to a new location, for most. Employees will be offered relocation assistance and will receive the same base pay as before, plus the locality pay for the new location, USDA said in a statement.
Perdue said an estimated $26 million in relocation incentives are being offered to those who make the decision to move. He did not disclose that information but said the local regions will be offering some of those incentives, which were part of the final selection criteria.
The KC Animal Health Corridor features more than 300 animal health companies. Perdue said he anticipates great synergies to help supply the workforce as well as research issues. He also looks forward to the dual career options for family members who choose to travel with USDA employees.
The USDA team is evaluating multiple Class A office properties in Kansas and Missouri for a 120,000 sq. ft. space that will house both agencies and expects to be operational this fall. Perdue said he does not know if that final location will be on the Kansas or Missouri side of the Kansas City Region. He anticipates having a proposal out by July 1.
Perdue said there is currently a USDA facility in the region that could house up to 200 employees in the near term. This will allow those employees and their families who want to relocate to do so ahead of the school year starting. The rest of the staff is expected to be on the ground no later than Sept. 30, 2019, if they choose to relocate.
In response to congressional action in the House appropriations bill to halt or limit funds for the move, Perdue said, "Hopefully, we'll be allowed to complete this move with minimal disruption."
Perdue said he knows that the move is "not unanimously acclaimed" by ERS and NIFA employees. This spring, both agencies overwhelming voted to join a union in hopes of having a greater say in the final site selection.
He noted that, unlike when a company leaves a rural community, ERS and NIFA's move outside of the National Capitol Region still offers many choices for those employees who wish to stay there. "While we want everyone to stay with us, if a federal employee wants to stay, there are other options here in federal service," Perdue noted.
At the end of the day, Perdue said he recognizes the disruption a move has on families and individual workers but believes it will still benefit the two agencies. "We still believe it is the best decision," he added.

You are here: Home History Industrial
To date, there are well over thirty industrial concerns located in Ikorodu. That is not all, the town also serves as the nation's communication gateway. The transmitters of the FRCN, External Service (Voice of Nigeria); NITEL transmitters and that of the State Broadcasting Corporation (Radio Lagos and LTVB) are located in Ikorodu.
These enviable landmarks are in consonance with the achievements of unforgettable sons and daughters of Ikorodu. It is on record that the Late Chief Michael Olutusan Onafowokan was the first Nigeria graduate Architect and Town Planner. It is to his credit that he designed and supervised the road, which links Lagos to Ikorodu. He was also involved in the design of Nambe-Bamida Road, which links Nigeria with Cameroon.
Chief Theophilus Owolabi Shobowale Benson, the first indigene of Ikorodu to qualify as a Lawyer, is a figure to reckon. In his pursuit of excellence and professional fulfilment, he went ahead to register the name of Ikorodu in the hall of fame as the first Federal Minister of information and Broadcasting.
Otunba Adeniran Ogunsanya, the first Attorney General of Lagos State; and one time Federal Minister of Housing and Survey is another illustrious son of Ikorodu who has made a mark for himself and also by extension, written the name of his town in gold.
There is practically no aspect of our national life where Ikorodu indigenes have not made their marks. The town has produce five senior Advocates of Nigeria-late chief Adebayo Adebola Ogunsanya; Chief Babatunde Olusola Benson; Chief Theophilus Owolabi Benson; Otunba Adeniran Ogunsaya; and Mrs Folake Solanke (the first woman SAN)
The tireless drive of matching dreams with reality, has also provided an array of personalities who are not used as yard-sticks and seen as trail blazers in their professional callings; Dr. Rashedat Ojelade, on indigene of Ikorodu is the first woman in Nigeria to bag a PHD in Islamic studies; late Professor Bolaji Idowu, was the first patriarch of Methodist Church, Nigeria Tony Benson, who at a young age started the first discotheque in Nigeria, adds shine and breadth to the image already carved by his late father Bernard Olabinjo Benson (Bobby) who introduced the first professional orchestra in Nigeria-Bobby Benson Jam Session. It will also remain in the evergreen memory that Rasheed Gbadamosi economist, writer, became at the age of 29, the youngest commissioner ever in the history of Lagos State.
In the academia, Ikorodu can with all relish brandish its enviable laurels for being blessed with over ten university dons including the Vice Chancellor of Federal University of Agriculture Abeokuta and a former deputy Vice Chancellor, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife. In fact, one of these illustrious sons of Ikorodu-late professor Ayodele Awojobi crowned his academic excellence with the highest degree in the field of science –Doctor of science (DSc), Awojobi, left his inventions – AUTONOV (1,2,3)-a mechanical design in military vehicle which can be manoeuvred in both directions.
This galaxy of successful personalities have turned obstacles around them on their way up the ladder to a pathway to keep on course the history of a town aptly described as Ikorodu Oga, Ilu kekere oko ilu bantabanta. They have also in their strides for excellence, toned down wherever drab shade left around to bright colours.
It is in the glow of this bright colours of fulfilment that Ikorodu indigenes and well-wishers from all walks of life are here gathered today to celebrate a successful twenty five years sojourn of Alayeluwa Oba Oyefusi in the corridors of power as the Ayangburen of Ikorodu. This odyssey spanning a quarter of a century has brought unprecedented changes into Ikorodu. And it is all too obvious that the attendant prosperity has robbed off on practically all aspects of life in the town-an increased virile population, an enviable industrial growth, increased volume of trade and peaceful co-existence of all tribes that inhabit Ikorodu.

The Dab es un paso de baile urbano en el que el bailarín deja caer la cabeza sobre el ángulo interior del codo mientras levanta el brazo, en un gesto que recuerda a un estornudo. Un artículo de la revista Sports Illustrated describió el dab así: "El baile es bastante sencillo; hay que inclinarse hacia el codo, como si estuvieras intentando estornudar."

Origen
Hay desacuerdo sobre el origen del paso. Los artistas que lo populizaron fueron Migos, —con su tema «Bitch Dab»—, Soulja Boy, Skippa Da Flippa, Peewee Longway y Rich the Kid.

El rapero Bow Wow aseguró que su origen es anterior y estaría relacionado con los cannabis dabbers, ya que es un movimiento espontáneo cuando se fuma aceite de hachís, —una de cuyas preparaciones se llama dab— pero otros raperos se mofaron de él y le insultaron a través de Twitter.
También hay otra corriente más sólida y con más adeptos, que sostienen que el primer dab se originó en Rumanía en un día festivo, llamada la pascua del medio pollo, llamada así por matar un pollo y comerse medio. Una vez se come el medio pollo se hacía este gesto llamado a día de hoy coloquilamente dub, lo que en su día se llamaba  iapierdola curvame.

Mago de Oz la banda de Folk Metal española modifico la imagen de su insignia bandera "La Bruja" para el anuncio de su gira de 35 aniversario, el cual se popularizó en España y Latinoamericano durante el final del 2022 y todo el 2023

Ilegalidad en Arabia Saudita
En Arabia Saudita, el movimiento fue decretado ilegal por el Comité Nacional para el Control de la Droga pues se consideró que "alude a la marihuana y a otras sustancias ilegales." En agosto de 2017, el cantante y actor saudita Abdallah Al Shaharani fue arrestado por hacerlo en su actuación durante un festival de música en Taif.

Dilute the contents of your cup with water, mix well and use it to water your plants.
If you are out on the countryside, pour the contents of your cup over the roots of a plant.
If watering plants or nourishing the soil are not an option, you can empty your cup into the toilet and flush.
You can keep your menstrual blood to paint "menstrualcolors". Pour the contents of your cup into a clean jar with a lid and use immediately. Otherwise, refrigerate to slow down decomposition.
Pour the contents of your cup in a glass dish, cover it with a piece of cloth or paper and let it sit under the sun to dry. This dried menstrual fluid can be made into a powder and stored in a closed jar. Add water to reconstitute this powder and use it to paint or to fertilize your plants.
I HAVE A BLOOD-TRANSMITTED DISEASE. HOW SHOULD I DISCARD THE CONTENTS OF MY CUP?
In cases of blood-transmitted infections, you should consider disposing of the contents of your cup directly into a biological waste container.
Keep bags for biological waste at home and get a small, rigid, dark-colored plastic container with a lid that seals. Bring the container with you when you go out, and when you empty your cup into it, add some toilet paper to absorb the liquid and make it easier to pour into the biological waste bag when you get home. Wash the container thoroughly every night, and make sure you securely close the biological waste bag and keep it away from pets and kids. When you finish your period, you can dispose of the biological waste as indicated by the laws of your state or country.

Funk It Up: The Floozies to Host Two Night Stand
The Floozies are Mark (left) and Matt (right) Hill. The brothers duo mixes live instrumentation with drums and guitar with EDM elements to make for high-energy electronic funk music. They will be headlining at George's Majestic Lounge on Friday, Sept. 5, and Saturday, Sept. 6.
The Floozies are blowing up right now.
Known for their high-energy, funk-fest live shows that operate like parties, The Floozies consist of Matt (producer, guitar) and Mark Hill (drums), who are brothers. The band's music is a unique blending of live instrumentation with drums and guitar with EDM (electronic dance music) elements. Oh, and the EDM elements are improvised, too.
They've come a long way from Lawrence, Kan., and now they'll be hosting a double-header at George's Majestic Lounge this weekend on Sept. 5 and 6. They plan on unveiling some new songs at the shows, too.
Thirty minutes before his fantasy football draft, Matt squeezed in a phone interview for us.
Here's our Q&A:
TFW: So, how did you guys come up with the idea of having drums and guitar mixed in with EDM?
Hill: That's just what we play. I've been playing guitar since I was about 11, and Mark started playing drums when he was 9. All the other new gear and instruments going on was all pretty exciting, so we just kinda naturally added it to what we already do. It made sense to incorporate everything that we're good at to do this band. Honestly, we didn't think about it that hard, it's just that's how we make music.
TFW: What were some of your EDM influences?
Hill: We listened to VibesquaD and the Glitch Mob. At the time I hadn't really heard much — We're from Kansas, and y'know, Lawrence is pretty cool, but at the time it wasn't getting that much electronic stuff. When those guys came to town, it was (sighs) a big moment for us. Seeing them play live was like "holy shit, you can do this stuff live."
TFW: So when did the "Floozies sound" come about?
Hill: We really started sounding like us when we released "At Dusk We Launch," in 2012. When we started out, it was just live looping. It was just guitar and then Mark would play drums. Then we added the keyboard. Honestly, at first we were kinda broke so we couldn't afford all this rad gear. As we got better and had more money, we started incorporating Abelton Live, and I bought Logic Pro. So once we got all that stuff, that's when we really got to realize our creative vision.
TFW: Speaking of gear, I saw a video of you messing around with this EDM-type guitar that had buttons where the strings would be. Tell me about that!
Hill: Yeah! It's a Misa Tri Bass. It's like a touchscreen and touch-sensitive neck. It's set up like a guitar in how you place your hands in the same place as a guitar, but it does not play like a guitar. So I'm still practicing with that thing so I can get it to a point where I can play it live and it not sound bad. It's definitely a learning experience. The notes on the fretboard are just like the notes on a guitar, and you touch the touchscreen like you would pick. It feels totally different. I call it my space guitar.
TFW: So you guys have been able to fit into a lot of different scenes with your music, and you've played tons of festivals. What's the journey been like?
Hill: It's been nuts, man. When I was in college, I would look at the Wakarusa lineup and want to be on it. Now we are, and we've played like every festival that we wanted to play this year. It's been pretty unreal, the best summer of my life, I suppose. The Wakarusa sets were a blast. I had a really good time at Waka. Hudson project in New York was pretty cool. We played at 1:30 p.m., and that's pretty early. When I'm at a festival I don't get going until about 2 or so. We had a great crowd at 1:30 and people were just going nuts for us. That felt really good to know that we could bring people out and have them check us out. We're really fortunate to have that.
TFW: How do you structure your sets?
Hill: We don't really do setlists. We usually don't know what we'll start with until we go on. It's just reading the crowd and making sure we're on their page. It's just so much fun when we're giving them energy and they're giving it right back to us. When you've got a preordained setlist, then it doesn't really feel as strong. We improvise a lot and change songs up a lot. I think it makes it more fun for us, and more fun for everybody else.
TFW: So, you've got two back to back shows at George's. Tell me about your relationship with Northwest Arkansas.
Hill: Man, we love Fayetteville. We considered moving there before. It feels similar to Lawrence, that it's like a fun liberal college town in the middle of a red state, so it's a very familiar feel. Wakarusa was the first major festival we ever played. We have a lot of friends down there, and there's a lot of pretty girls there, too. There's pretty girls everywhere, but at one of the George's shows a while ago we were just like, "Man, you all are just a gorgeous crowd!"

September was another chance for our Coombe Alumni to visit the school, catch up with past friends and teachers and meet our new head teacher, Mr Smith. Our vast array of archive material was laid out so everyone had the chance to remember stories of life at Coombe Boys'. As well making business connections with past pupils, we are continuously appreciative to remain in touch with the Barton sisters and were joined by a Cyril Barton's sister, Joyce, and her two daughters. At Coombe we feel it is very important to remain in touch with our Alumni and it was a pleasure to tour Joyce around the school and once again visit our display of her Brother, Cyril, in the Barton Hall. "I was thrilled to bits, to think, after all these years, these little things are still around".
It is always a delight when connecting with past pupils as we are able to celebrate their success stories, and so we will be holding another Alumni event on Friday 17th June 2016. Please watch out for the date and contact the school if you are able to join us. Please also visit our LinkedIn group and add our education page to your profile, this will allow us to stay in touch for further events.
In March, 2011, to mark Coombe Boys' School's 80th birthday, we held an Old Boys' Day - an opportunity for some of the current pupils to meet those who had attended the school in the past and for those old boys to see how the school has changed over the years. It was a fantastic success and boys, both old and new, enjoyed hearing each other's stories of life at Coombe Boys'. We are now looking forward to another 'Old Boys' Day' as more and more of our past pupils get back in touch.


Is anyone able to configure mailbox.org account using Exchange on Outlook for iOS?
I am currently using the free trial and I really like Mailbox.org. There is however one thing that stops me from switching from Gmail to a paid Mailbox account. If I flag an email in the webclient of Mailbox, this flag is not shown in OSX or iOS mail clients. And if I flag an email within my Mailbox account in my iPhone Mail app, that flag is not showing up in the webclient of Mailbox - but worse, also not in my iPad Mail app. In other words, the flagging system used by Mailbox is incompetible with the most used mail clients, which makes it very difficult to keep a central list of mails to follow-up across my mailaccounts and across devices. Would it perhaps be possible to change this?

GOP Tax Plan is a Giveaway to Millionaires, Billionaires, and Big Corporations

Here's What a Better NAFTA Looks Like

The Republican tax plan is a handout to millionaires, billionaires, and big corporations that will raise taxes on working families and give corporations new incentives to send more U.S. jobs overseas. Republicans and White House staff have been working overtime to spin this deal as a "middle class tax cut." It's not. And this tax plan is likely to get much worse for working families as the House Ways and Means Committee moves forward.
What does this tax plan do to CWA working families?
It limits the ability to deduct property taxes and completely eliminates the ability to deduct state and local taxes.
It gets rid of tax deductions that help families pay education expenses. It will tax directly the value of employer-provided education assistance that at least 10,000 CWA members use.
It restricts the amount of home mortgage interest that can be deducted, hurting CWA members and working people especially in areas like California, New York, New Jersey, and other states with high housing costs.
It wipes out the ability of families to deduct their medical expenses.
Any employer-provided child care benefit will be taxed, and assistance from employers to help CWA families adopt a child also will be taxed.
This plan also adds at least $1.5 trillion to the federal debt over 10 years, and the budget framework adopted by Republicans already includes cuts in Medicare and Medicaid. Predictably, Republicans soon will start to complain about the budget deficit that they created and step up their attack on programs that working families rely on, like Medicare, Medicaid, health care, education and more.
We cannot allow tax cuts for the wealthy to harm millions of working families. CWA and our allies are fighting back against this massive transfer of dollars from working families to the richest 1 percent.
CWA President Chris Shelton held a town hall call with Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) on how the GOP tax plan will affect CWA members and what we can do to fight back. Listen to the recording of the call here.

AT&T Mobility Orange Contract
AT&T management has tried to pull a fast one in negotiating with 21,000 CWA Mobility members. The company publicized what it called a "final offer," deliberately bypassing the CWA bargaining committee that has been pushing the company for ten months on the issues that members want to have resolved. AT&T sent out the proposal directly to members this week, a bad-faith bargaining scheme that isn't going to work.
In a message to Mobility workers, CWA District 1 Vice President Dennis Trainor noted, "In bargaining, the company's chief negotiator has repeatedly said, 'We have no interest in job security.' So it's no surprise the company's phony pledge on job security doesn't prevent them from closing your store or call center and offering you a job in Nome, Alaska!" Trainor stressed that the wage increases the company cited "will do little good if they can ship even more of our jobs to the Philippines, and won't do much good if they can close our store and open up a low wage authorized dealer store."
Read the full message from Vice President Trainor here.
Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) and 16 U.S. Senate colleagues signed on to a letter to AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson, calling on him to "reevaluate the current situation and engage constructively with union negotiators" to reach a contract.
"Our understanding is that AT&T workers in 36 states and Washington D.C. have been working without a contract for over 8 months. Investing in your employees, including through a limit on the amount of outsourcing of customer service work, would demonstrate a strong commitment to the American workforce and calm fears of further offshoring to countries including the Philippines and Mexico, and outsourcing to non-union contractors here in the United States.
"Even as AT&T faces the challenges of a rapidly evolving and volatile telecommunications industry, AT&T wireless workers are driving tremendous profits. These workers deserve a fair share of the wireless division's $1 billion monthly profit," they wrote.
The contract covering 1,600 CWA members at Frontier in West Virginia and Ashburn, Va., has been extended until March 3, 2018. The current contract was set to expire on Nov. 4.
Negotiations are continuing, and members are mobilizing to show their solidarity and commitment to gaining a fair contract and keeping good jobs in our communities. Bargaining committee members are President Ken William, Local 2001; President Rick McKinney, Local 2007; President Shannon Fink, Local 2009, and CWA staff Linda Miller, Elaine Harris, and Letha Perry, chair of the committee.
These CWA members make sure that Frontier Communications knows we're serious about getting a fair contract.

Camden County Library
CWA Local 1014 and the Camden County Library Commission reached a tentative agreement on October 25 that will increase the minimum hourly wage for the lowest paid Local 1014-represented position to $15, effective 2019. This will nearly double workers' wages from the current hourly minimum rate of $8.92. The agreement caps a two-year campaign by the local to fight for fair wages and a $15 an hour minimum. Members are voting now on the tentative agreement.
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and the Senate Democratic Caucus met with several union leaders, including CWA President Chris Shelton, before holding a Capitol Hill news conference to announce the Democratic "Better Deal" plan to restore bargaining rights for working people.
In the meeting with Democratic Senators before the news conference, Shelton thanked those elected officials who stand up against the offshoring of U.S. jobs, for paid sick leave for working people, and for holding corporations to their responsibilities to workers.
"The good news is that 17 Senators of this caucus didn't just give those principles lip service but actually took a public stand in support of them by joining with us to lift up workers at AT&T and all workers in this sector. We thank you if you were one of those brave and principled 17 Senators to join Senator Merkley (D-Ore.) in his letter to AT&T management.
"Unfortunately, we are disappointed that in a caucus of 48, 31 Members chose to not stand on those principles with their 17 colleagues and help us hold the line against the offshoring of American jobs, and the further erosion of quality and family supporting jobs in the customer service and retail sectors. We hope that as we continue this struggle that we can get every Democratic Senator to make it clear that she or he will actually stand with us and fight with us to protect and improve these jobs."
The Democratic "Better Deal" plan maintains that government should work for working people, not just millionaires, billionaires, and special interests. Strengthening the ability of working people to join together and negotiate with wealthy corporations is the key to making this happen. The "Better Deal" plan includes reversing the assault on the workplace freedom and rights of public and private sector workers; combating the practice of employers using outsourcing and subcontracting to flout labor laws, and strengthening the NLRB's enforcement of crucial worker protections.
Shelton said, "With Republicans at every level of government working overtime to strip away the freedom of working people to negotiate for better wages and better jobs, working men and women need the Democratic Party's 'Better Deal.' Only by joining together in unions can working people stand up to the CEOs and corporate lobbyists who are keeping wages stagnant, sending jobs overseas and weakening our communities. We commend the Democratic Party leadership for fighting to restore workplace freedom and the ability of working people to stand together for their share of the economic pie."
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer outlines the "Better Deal." House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and other elected joined the news conference.
CWA President Chris Shelton authored an op-ed that appeared in the Las Vegas Sun on what the Trump administration needs to do in order to renegotiate NAFTA to help working people:
It's hard to see where the Trump administration's renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement is going, but we do know what a "good" trade deal, one that benefits working people and their communities, should look like.
For millions of working families, NAFTA has meant lost jobs, closed factories and call centers, and lower wages, with most unable to find jobs that provide similar levels of pay and benefits. For communities, it's meant a loss of important public services and cuts in education and other programs as employers abandon cities and towns to relocate out of the country.
Right now, rather than proposing strong labor and environmental provisions that would actually raise wages and standards for workers in all three countries, the U.S. plan includes the same failed labor and environmental provisions included in the rejected Trans-Pacific Partnership and other deals. That means that labor violations — like wage theft, excessive forced overtime and even child labor violations — can't be addressed unless they are both "sustained and recurring" and committed "in a manner affecting trade," an impossible standard to meet.
Here's what a better NAFTA looks like.
In Puerto Rico, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) met with members of CWA Local 3010 (top photo) and President Luis Benitez (bottom) following the horrific destruction caused by Hurricane Maria. The local set up a temporary site as a member assistance center because the local's offices were severely damaged.

Republicans in the U.S. Senate, with the help of a tie-breaking vote from Vice President Mike Pence, held a late-night vote to overturn a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) rule that cracked down on the usage of mandatory arbitration clauses by financial firms, harming consumers.
After Equifax recently announced that the personal information of 143 million consumers had been leaked in a massive data breach, the company drew immediate public ire for initially inserting a forced arbitration clause into their credit monitoring sign-up agreement to deny people their right to sue or join a class action lawsuit.
Banks have used similar "forced arbitration" clauses buried in the fine print of contracts to stop consumers from holding their banks accountable when the bank rips off a consumer.
Working men and women are routinely denied their day in court due to forced arbitration clauses, and Equifax was not the first galling example. Santander Consumer illegally repossessed the car of Charles Beard, a national guardsman on duty in Iraq, and threatened to have his wife arrested if she didn't turn over the keys. There was a forced arbitration clause hidden in his contract, so he was unable to sue Santander for this violation of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA).
In July, the CFPB issued a new rule to stop banks from using forced arbitration clauses to block class action suits. Many Republicans in Congress got right to work doing the Wall Street banks' bidding. The House passed a "Congressional Review Act" resolution to overturn the CFPB's rule, and the Senate passed it this week in a late-night vote with very little media scrutiny.
This GOP vote was a victory for Wall Street lobbyists, who mounted an enormous pressure campaign on the Senate to try and pass this harmful resolution into law. Given the rampant abuses and failures routinely seen in the finance industry—from Equifax to Wells Fargo to Santander—it's no wonder that these lobbyists want a "get out of jail free" card.
Wall Street banks have managed time and time again to get a special set of rules that benefit them. From the bank bailouts to Wall Street's numerous tax loopholes to their ability to use forced arbitration clauses to facilitate their abuses, Wall Street has gotten preferential treatment for far too long.

The National Coalition on Occupational Safety and Health is holding its annual conference Dec. 5-7 at the Maritime Institute near Baltimore, Md.
This national conference brings together safety and health activists from national and local unions, COSH groups, worker centers, and others in the safety and health movement. It's a great opportunity to learn about latest developments and initiatives in occupational safety and health that are happening at the national, state, and local level, and to strategize about fighting back against efforts to roll back these protections.
