New Film 'When Rules Don't Apply' Spotlights Successful Antitrust Challenges to Illegal High-Tech Labor Practices
Published On: April 11th, 2019Categories: Antitrust, Firm News
Half-hour film includes commentary from Lieff Cabraser Antitrust & Employment Law partner Dean Harvey on the civil Apple/Google/Intel et al. lawsuit initiated by our firm
In the wake of the successful and precedent-setting lawsuit against numerous tech giants of Silicon Valley, David Donnenfield of Full Frame Productions and Kevin White of Filmmakers Collaborative SF have released "When Rules Don't Apply," a new short film highlighting the pivotal legal antitrust actions brought by Lieff Cabraser and its co-counsel against Google, Apple, eBay and other major hi-tech players over the illegal suppression of employee wages and restrictions on employee mobility.
Co-hosted by Rachael Myrow, KQED's Silicon Valley chief, and Veena Dubal, Associate Professor of Law at UC Hastings, When Rules Don't Apply explores the "no-poach" wage suppression conspiracy that swept Silicon Valley from 2005 to 2015, and the precedent-setting legal war that triumphantly challenged these practices. The film reveals how leading tech CEOs, including Apple's Steve Jobs, Intuit's Bill Campbell, and Google's Eric Schmidt secretly agreed not to recruit one another's employees, restricting employee job opportunities and powerfully limiting their wages.
The film shows how the U.S. Department of Justice first applied antitrust law in 2009 in the labor arena to prosecute a group of high-tech companies over anticompetitive practices. The film includes commentary from a leading experts in the field of antitrust and labor law, including Lieff Cabraser partner Dean M. Harvey, who co-represented the 64,000 tech workers in the groundbreaking class action lawsuit filed in 2013 over an estimated $3 billion in lost wages. The landmark case resulted in a settlement of $435 million, the largest recovery (by far) of any class action asserting antitrust claims in the employment context. The case was also widely recognized as a legal and public policy breakthrough.
When describing how antitrust law can be applied in employment settings, Lieff Cabraser's Dean Harvey explains that "when you have employers who are competing with each other for employees, they are direct competitors, in the same sense as direct competitors for products. And the antitrust laws apply in the exact same way, and they provide the same protections to employees in the marketplace as they provide to consumers in the marketplace, who want products that aren't priced artificially high because of a price-fixing conspiracy."
As the film points out, in the wake of the Department of Justice's lawsuit and settlement, "a national law firm' [Lieff Cabraser] thought there might be grounds for a class action lawsuit on behalf of the victims." Harvey recalls: "I remember the moment I first learned of the case, I was sitting on a bus in san Francisco on my iPhone reading the New York Times, and saw that story, and thought, that is so fascinating. And the DOJ did not make any attempt to try to quantify the harm, or to try to show exactly who was injured by the misconduct. So that was the end of the matter as far as the Department of Justice was concerned. We just kept thinking about it and thinking about it. And no one filed a civil case, which gave us a bit of pause, because we wondered why no one was [filing].

"Because a case like this had never been brought," Harvey continues. "So our first step was to try to figure out what the misconduct was, and to make sense of it. So we had a diagram of these different agreements, and they seemed to all be connected, we then did an analysis, and we came to learn that two individuals were connected to every agreement at issue. Steve Jobs and Bill Campbell. Steve Jobs everyone knows, but Bill Campbell is not so well known publically, but in the Valley he's a legend."
Harvey sums up the widespread harm that led to the class action: "The damages to the class in this case took two forms. One was suppressed pay; we estimated that amount to be three billion dollars across the class. The other form of harm was suppressed career mobility, and what we know from labor economics is that when you are denied an opportunity, it suppresses your pay and your career prospects the rest of your career."
As Barry Lyon, Executive Director of theOpen Markets Institute notes, "This case shows that the law itself remains robust enough to still be used by smart lawyers, by smart citizens against the powers that exist. Antitrust was designed to establish freedom in the marketplace, it was designed to prevent concentration of power over the marketplace, it was designed to prevent concentration of power within the political system. And the reason that we want there to be multiple buyers is so that we're never dependent on any one person, on any one corporation. Because it is through independence that we become free."
As the filmmakers summarize, "With [the High-Tech Antitrust Employment] case, we've actually entered a new era of antitrust law enforcement, where the law can be applied on behalf of labor. Not just in the high tech industry, but in any market sector where companies conspire to cheat their workers."

Leadership column – Rethinking Remembrance – Councillor Banwait
At 11.00am today, people from across the country will pause to remember the millions of lives lost to war. Here in Derby, we will gather on the Market Place and at Soldier's Corner to remember all those local men and women who have been killed in conflict.
This year, the Royal British Legion is encouraging us to rethink remembrance and consider not only those who died during the First and Second World Wars, but also veterans and service personnel from more recent conflicts who deserve our remembrance and support.
In Derby, we are proud to support veterans and their families through initiatives like the Armed Forces Community Covenant, which I launched at the Homecoming Parade of The Mercian Regiment in June 2012. The Covenant ensures members of the armed forces community do not face unnecessary hardship or discrimination in accessing work, housing or education.
The Royal British Legion also has a 'Pop In' advice and information center on St Peter's Street, which provides practical help to veterans, as well as information about the work of the Legion to the public.
These services are a lifeline for many. But the inspirational story of how the poppy itself became a symbol of remembrance can also teach us a lot about the challenges many veterans face when they leave the armed forces, particularly in relation to finding meaningful work.
After the First World War, the poppy became a popular symbol of remembrance, inspired by John McCrae's famous poem, In Flanders Fields. In 1922, Major George Howson MC opened a poppy factory in Richmond giving wounded soldiers, sailors and airmen returning from the war a chance to earn a living. Within ten years, Howson was employing 350 disabled veterans to make the poppies.
The simple design of a paper poppy hides a far greater significance. The flower, leaf, stem and button are easily assembled by an able-bodied person, but try to do it with one hand behind your back or with your eyes closed and it becomes far more difficult. These are the kind of challenges that some disabled veterans face every day of their life.
These days, the Poppy Factory has branched out into helping disabled veterans find rewarding employment opportunities across the country. Nevertheless, last year a team of disabled veterans and their families still hand-made 11.4 million poppies for the Royal British Legion.
So when we wear a poppy each year, it not only signifies the sacrifices that have been made in the past, but also the continued challenges too many veterans face today.
It is our moral responsibility to help these individuals. As a local authority, we will do all we can to support the armed forces community.

Hair color: Caramel/ Dirty Blond/ whatever you call it.
Faction: Slowly integrating into the Mandalorians.
Big Five Personality Type: RIOGD, the Prodigy.
Licenses/ Degrees: Engineering and Piloting.
Aislinn has gone through a lot, making her surprisingly mature. Inside, she's a storm; outside, she's chillingly calm. She has problems with obedience, especially after what her past superiors have done to her, but her quest for power has quenched it a bit when it comes to learning. She is in a state of paranoia, barely getting any sleep ever. However, in combat she can suddenly morph from a quiet shadow to a whirlwind of black holes. She is actually a violent individual when emotionally and physically pushed.
She's pale skinned Terrelian with orange eyes and caramel blond hair. She looks her age all right, and actually packs some muscle in her arms and legs – even if she barely uses them. As per Terrelian culture, she has tattoos cluttered across her entire body. She is always wearing a cloak over her clothes and head. She has a brown leather jacket with pockets and pouches. She wears a black C-neck shirt with the dark pink writing Freedom on it. She has black pants and buckle knee high boots with hot pink lacing. She has small black half gloves. She wears her pistols in the holsters on the belt wrapped around her waist. She has another belt hanging on her thighs. She can surely be mysterious, but she has reasons for hiding.
Born to a poor family in the slums of Coruscant, Kerri Aislinn was always an inquisitive and resourceful girl. Crammed in a tiny and unsanitary apartment, the family of three all worked hard for money. Kerri found work in a sweat shop factory when she was six. When she was ten, she switched to a ship shop. The higher ups saw her amazing intellilect and mechanical skills. When she was eleven, the Empire offered her a free full education in science, math, and engineering at an off world academy.
Amazed, her poor parents encouraged her to take the opportunity. While Kerri took it and did well with her studies, she was as hateful as ever towards the brutal Sith. When she was fifteen, she found an old freighter who's owner was long dead. She hauled the ship to a hideout and continually worked on it during all her free time. When she was sixteen, only months from completing her courses and graduating into a place of power, Kerri struggled with the idea of working for the very organization she grew up morally against. On the day she got her degree in engineering and ship mechanics, she took her new ship, christened Dagny, and bailed.
She left the Sith's empire. Conflicted, she vowed to come back and take her poor parents with her.
With her ship and few supplies, Kerri roamed the outer rim and took any odd jobs and bounties she could. Within the small span of a year, she learned to use a diversity of blasters effectively.
Scrapping off what cash she could take, she still has tried to figure out how to go back and save her family.

In the inner city, if you can't touch it, you can't use it; if it doesn't help you survive — then it isn't real. Don't talk about hope unless you can demonstrate it.
That's why Cru® partners with inner-city churches that are committed to ministering to the whole person — body, mind, and spirit.
We serve and mobilize the church to live out God's heart for the poor, so all can grow in Christ to build spiritual movements everywhere.
We envision cities transformed by the hope and justice of the gospel.
We follow a simple plan called the Circle of Hope to connect, empower, and develop local churches that are sensitive to the needs of the poor and marginalized.


These moody black and white analog images were taken a few weeks ago in an empty apartment in Berlin by photographer Christoph Boecken. I love them, and although they were not shot for this website Christoph has kindly let me share the full set with you on here, not to download but to view. I hope you like them!
I was in Berlin with my good friend Nirmala, we also attended a gallery opening there in the Helmut Newton Museum by our friend Greg Gorman who we both model for. Ive also included some images of us together which I thought were really cute.


Picking up where we stopped yesterday, Marty Duren wrote, [God's] word is the foundation of faith for those with ears to hear.
Wherever and however we worship with others this weekend, let's listen for God's word.
And then let's echo the good news of the Gospel of Christ by living Christ's words.
Only then can our lives embody our faith.

Эпично)

Но крайне неэффективно. Конструкция %element%.innerHTML = %added_element% + %previous_content% - это примерно то же самое, что покупая товары в супермаркете бегать к кассе с каждым по отдельности, причем таскать тележку с уже купленными товарами с собой. И чем тяжелее innerHTML, тем сильнее все это тупит.
Правильно так:

*добавляем новый элемент в нужное место, например, в элемент "yourElement":
var newDiv = document.createElement("div");
newDiv.innerHTML = "

The past couple of days I have really been struggling with motivation & inspiration to write content because it's been so hot lately. But, I was able to finally sit down & crank out some great content that I am very excited to share with all of you very soon! I hope you all are having an amazing week & are ready to keep pushing through for the weekend. We have finally made it to July & I cannot believe that summer is literally halfway done! It doesn't even feel real. However, a new month means new obsessions & goals to share with all of you!
With this huge heatwave moving through Michigan I have been trying to find the perfect pieces to keep me nice and cool & denim skirts are doing the job. I have found so many cute skirts while thrifting & I am very excited to share all those looks with you!
My favorite go-to drink this summer has been fruit smoothies! Not only are they good for you but, they will also keep you cool for those hot summer days. I love to either go out to Tropical Smoothie near my apartment or make my own at home!
I have just recently started this series & I am 100% hooked! The book is basically about a world divided by blood, Red or Silver, and basically follows the story of this young girl Mare who goes through many adventures of her own in this world. The style of the book is very similar to the Hunger Games (which I loved) so if you are into cool dystopian adventure books like I am, I would 10/10 recommend this book to you & I am very excited to finish the first book so I can go and read the rest of the series!
I shared this product on my last post for the FabFitFun Unboxing Summer 2018 & YOU GUYS this stuff is incredible! I absolutely am obsessed with this product. It naturally exfoliates your skin without any pain or irritation. I use it all the time & it has done wonders for my skin. If you are looking for a new amazing skincare product to try, I 100% recommend Elemis!
Now sushi is good every time of the year, but especially during the summertime, it is one of my all-time favorite things to eat! It is the perfect lightweight meal to help you withstand the summer heat. My favorite place to go in Grand Rapids is 1000% Maru Sushi. If you haven't been before I totally encourage you to go try them out!
Now here are some of my July goals!
I hope you enjoyed reading my latest obsessions & goals for this month! I also hope that some of my goals inspire some of your own goals & help you move forward with lots of motivation and positivity for the rest of July. Have an awesome rest of your week & keep a look out for new content coming your way soon!
Ah!!! Heat is definitely a pain. And yes fruit smoothies are the best thing about summers.

If you're looking for a full-size sedan that was designed with value as an ideal but that hasn't lost out on performance, quality, or efficiency, then what you're looking for is the 2019 Chrysler 300. With a driving experience that's mired in comfort and augmented with varying packages, trim options, and additional features, the 300 is the American sedan that's ready to make a bold statement every time you get behind the wheel.
What kind of engine options does the 300 have?
The combination of the standard 3.6-liter V6 engine, 8-speed automatic transmission, and rear-wheel drive that come standard with the 2019 Chrysler 300 put out 292 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. There is also the option to exchange the rear-wheel driver for all-wheel driver, except in the case of the 300C trim which comes with a different powertrain altogether. For the 300 C trim a 5.7-liter V8 engine with rear-wheel drive is standard, pushing out 363 horsepower and 394 pound-feet of torque. The TorqueFlight transmission, standard on all trims, maintains 30 miles per gallon fuel economy on the highway so you always get where you need to be as economically as possible.
Are there different trim options for the 300?
Designed to be both decadent and a value, the 2019 Chrysler 300 features an iconic yet elegant design that comes in five different trim levels. At the base Touring trim level, the standard features include a power-adjustable driver seat, 8.4-inch touchscreen, rearview camera, six-speaker surround sound, dual-zone automatic climate control, Bluetooth, heated mirrors, satellite radio, and smartphone integration. Stepping things up to the Touring L trim brings power-adjustable heated seats, leather upholstery, and your choice of either 18- or 20-inch wheels. For the 300S trim level sportier features are added, which include 20-inch wheels with performance tires, LED fog lights, paddle shifters, and the remote start feature. The 300 Limited trim gets heated rear seats, auto-dimming driver side mirror, ventilated and heated front row seats, and a power-adjustable heated steering wheel. Lastly, there's the 300C trim bringing an extra smooth ride with a touring-tuned suspension, xenon headlights, and both heated and cooled cup holders.
Is the 300 really safe?
There are so many safety features built into the 2019 Chrysler 300 that it borders on excessive, but really there's no such thing when it comes to making sure you can get out from behind the wheel no matter how a drive may go. Just a few of the 300's many available features include Rear Cross Path Detection, Forward Collision Warning with active braking, Blind Spot Monitoring, LaneSense Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep assist, ParkSense Park Assist, and Cruise control with Stop Assist. And those are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to all that's part of the 300.
The 2019 Chrysler 300 is ready for an economic drive about town that's as comfortable as can be. So you might consider taking a good look at what the 300 has to offer if that's the kind of vehicle you're looking for. The trims, the packages, and all the other optional features that are available make this the sedan that can be tailor-made to be the perfect fit for you.if you'd like to learn more about this amazing vehicle, then please contact us today.


Riddle me this, what has the head of a human and the body of a lion? Recently discovered in the harsh desert lands, the new Spinx pet will be available very soon. Imbued with the soft, caring face of a human and the lethal body of a lion, these mythical creatures can be a dangerous foe, as well as a strong ally. Legends speak of a terrifying Sphinx presiding over a grisly riddle guessing game, but these Sphinxes are way more cuddly than that one. In battle, they have at their disposal a special skill to reduce damage from critical strikes, which in a close fight can be decisive for achieving victory.

Mayor Sarno with Judge Hurley in Jan '12 (WMassP&I)
On Thursday night, the Springfield License Commission continued its deliberations and in doing so delayed a vote on Mayor Domenic Sarno's 1 a.m. closing proposal for bars in the city. Sarno's proposal had been submitted to counter crime, but during a February hearing, it was vigorously opposed by bar owners, patrons, and many residents.
The Commission apparently made the move after a discrepancy arose over the crime statistics the Police Department gave to commissioners. There was no allegation of wrong doing, but City Hall sources say that commissioners had been given, at different times, the crime statistics they requested and then crime statistics they had not requested.
Some commissioners wanted to get back in touch with the Police Department and get a new copy of the crime stats to clarify the matter before voting. Others were prepared to vote anyway.
The License Commission is an independent body of the city. While appointed by the mayor and confirmed by the City Council, it does not formally respond to any actions or directives from or convey their decision for approval to any of the city's elected branches.
Therefore, when the mayor submitted his proposal to the Commission, it was under no obligation to even consider it. As a sign of respect towards the city's chief executive, the Commission opted to consider the proposal through hearings and the receipt of testimony from the public.
Throughout the process, however, the Commission remains in the driver's seat. It can take up the policy from the mayor and vote it up or down or modify it beyond recognition if it so chooses. What it will ultimately do remains anybody's guess.
In reporting the Commission's plans to vote on the item, WMassP&I noted The Republican's spotlight on inner workings of Mayor Domenic Sarno's City Hall written by Stephanie Barry. Given the level of control Sarno was said to cede to political consultant Charlie Kingston, it was not hard to wonder if the revelations gave commissions pause before acting on the 1 a.m. closing.
The Republican's Building would be sold to Penn National if its bid for a casino succeeds. (via hampdenhistory.blogspot.com)
Reaction to the Kingston story was positive around the blogs, but The Reminder's Mike Dobbs was not as generous. Dobbs noted that the story's timing was suspicious especially in light of the paper's habit of using its coverage to play kingmaker. Also noted by Dobbs and Maureen Turner, Barry (or her editors) neglected to say the paper stands to gain a windfall if one casino proposal, Penn National's, gets its license and its coverage has had other reportorial oversights.
Dobbs also criticized The Republican's paucity of details about Kingston and casinos especially since Dobbs himself has questioned Penn National about Kingston before.
The 1 a.m. proposal has been viewed by city political watchers as a way for the mayor and his allies to give the casino's bars an unfair advantage. The casino legislation gives authority over any liquor-pouring establishments in a casino to the commonwealth's Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission, which ostensibly would allow casino bars to evade a city-mandated 1 a.m. closing.

organic waste into clean, renewable energy through anaerobic digestion."
Anchor-International is currently engaged in the development of a physical anaerobic bio-site (130 acres), and a long-term capital investment business proposal near a specific U.S. local community. The proposed anaerobic bio-site is central to a huge concentration of bio-feed stocks available on an almost ubiquitous basis. Anchor is also examining several hypotheses with regard to the size(s) and costs to build out the anaerobic bio-digester(s). Anaerobic bio-digesting is the leading edge of the current "green" technology, and is designed to process the available local "green bio-feed", reliably estimated at more than 1 million tons/yr, to pathogen/bacteria free by-products. The company plans to harvest, and make available for distribution, "clean" bio-methane (power production), "clean" bio-tea (liquid fertilizers), and "clean" bio-solids (compost for bedding and soil additives).
Anchor is committed to "green" construction using the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System, i.e. the facility design will make maximum use of solar power, rain run-off/snow melt-water holding/recycling tanks, bio-methane powered vehicles, etc.; and the construction and facility expansion will be designed in stages, with completion in five to seven years. Facility construction would include, to the maximum extent possible, the ability to transit these expansion stages without reconstruction of already operating facilities or work-flow interruptions.
The facility is being designed to convert bio-feed stocks using state-of-art technology, such as in-ground bio-digesters, and bio-methane collection, storage, and conversion to electrical power distribution systems; the collection, storage, and distribution of pathogen/bacteria free liquid fertilizers, and the collection, storage, and distribution of pathogen/bacteria free bio-solids (compost). Anchor-International is also a member in good standing with both the American Biogas Council and the U.S. Composting Council.
A Canadian biogas company has teamed with a German technology provider with the aim of becoming Canada's first turnkey anaerobic digestion system. "...Most of the feedstock comes from the 100 cows on (the managing director's) 150-acre farm, corn silages, and grease from nearby restaurants. The end result is enough energy to dry grain in a 180-metric-ton batch dryer, power (the company's) 7,600-square-foot headquarters, and provide electricity to more than 50 homes..." (article "Company brings German biogas technology to North America", from Manure Manager, September/October 2011 edition).
Extrapolate the above end product(s) to a Biogas Center with access to a local concentration of from 5,000,000 - 7,000,000 cooperating cows plus the feedstock from local restaurants, grocery stores, schools, shopping centers, grain farms/ranches, etc.,...and one cannot help being boggled at the possibilities.

Many books about Pilates list the "6 principles of Pilates", a number of them have extended 6 to 8 or 9, but many teachers will be able to tell you that the 'original' principles of pilates are: Breath; Centre; Control; Concentration; Precision; and Flow[ing movement].
These 6 principles do not appear in any of Pilates' own writing and, in fact, appear to originate in 'The Pilates Method of Physical and Mental Conditioning' by Friedman & Eisen, and first published in 1980 (13 years after Pilates' death).
The guiding principles of Pilates' method, to be found in his 1945 book 'Return to Life' are: Whole body health; Whole body commitment; and Breath; and have a very Pilates-esque no-nonsense simplicity to them. Why have 9 principles when 3 will get the message across?
Clearly things have changed in the years since Pilates' death, we have a much better understanding of biomechanics, physiology and anatomy, along with entirely different ways of even considering human anatomy. (It should be said, too, that Pilates may not have been much concerned with those details – one of the highlights of the conversation between 'Elders' Ron Fletcher and Kathy Grant, available on DVD, is Fletcher's reminiscence that, when asking Pilates what a particular exercise was for he received the gruff reply "It's for the body".) Despite these advances I can't think of any compelling reasons to stray from his original 3 principles.
I'm all for asking for total commitment from our clients, especially if they have goals that they want to reach through Pilates, or expectations of what Pilates might do for them. This then begs the question (of me, at least): In teaching people Pilates, are we offering (the possibility of) whole body health?
Perhaps borrowing for the Pareto Principle, it seems to be widely accepted on fitness/exercise related internet resources that body composition is 80% determined by diet, meaning that exercise has a relatively limited effect on how fat we are. I'm not advocating a fixation on body fat, but all Pilates teachers must be aware that being overweight is highly likely to take an orthopaedic toll on an individual's body. For example, the Johns Hopkins Arthritis Centre reports that 'being only 10 pounds overweight increases the force on the knee by 30-60 pounds with each step.' Joint problems are just one of many potential health issues related to being overweight or obese.
Having used it repeatedly in the paragraph above, I want to avoid repeating weight – I don't think someone's weight is as useful a measure of health as their body composition, how much fat they are storing. Hence how one's clothes fit is a better indicator than a set of scales. It can be hugely challenging to address a client's body composition, and requires that a relationship be established between teacher and client first of all (unless both are pretty thick-skinned). Nonetheless, if Pilates teachers (as fitness professionals, not alternative therapists), are to help clients towards whole body health I think we may have a responsibility to address such tricky topics. As you may have gathered if you've read earlier posts on this site, I lean quite strongly towards a particular way of eating – (in the interests of simplicity) low carbohydrate, moderate protein, high fat – and, having read quite a lot on the subject, I'm happy to get into a conversation about nutrition with anyone these days (yes, maybe too happy, and more on that next time). The chances are that my nutrition views aren't shared by all Pilates teachers, perhaps only a few, and I'm not arguing that we should all be preaching paleo eating to our clients. In the past I have had clients say to me "I know I need to lose some weight" and I've probably mumbled awkwardly and equivocated – now I think that, without getting into an epic conversation, I could have simply asked what they were doing, or planning to do, to accomplish the fat loss. I am not a nutritionist, but I can encourage clients to get help with shedding body fat, in the same way that I might encourage them to go to a physio or osteopath if that seems appropriate.
A lot of the clients that come to our studio list 'weight loss' as one of their goals. All other benefits aside, I don't believe that Pilates is an effective means of achieving such a thing. Indeed, I think the evidence shows that eating is far more important to body composition than exercise. As fitness professionals I think we do have a responsibility to address nutrition (and maybe to mention that sleep quality and cortisol levels have a significant impact on our metabolism), even if that is no more than encouraging clients to seek professional help (or perhaps to read Gary Taubes' "Why We Get Fat: And What To Do About It"). I'd love to hear what any fellow Pilates professional (in fact, anyone who may be reading) thinks….

Older households, defined as ones headed by someone 65 or older, spend $46,000 annually, versus the $57,000 average spent by all U.S. households combined.
It starts at age 61, even though many tell Gallup they planned to work longer. And based on some morbid math — the average remaining life expectancy of someone who's made it to their early 60s (23.3 years), according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — you should plan to be retired for at least a few decades.
The average budget for a retiree, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data, provides even more color on what to expect when you're expecting to retire. Older households, defined as ones headed by someone 65 or older, spend $46,000 annually, versus the $57,000 average spent by all U.S. households combined. The top three monthly expenses for those 65 and older are housing ($1,322), health care ($500) and food ($484).
Find out How Long Money Will Last?
— Shop for an immediate annuity. Although annuities are complex instruments, they're essentially investments baked into an insurance policy. Paying a lump sum upfront to get a guaranteed monthly payment for life may provide the income stability you need.
— Withdraw less money during down years. A common rule of thumb among financial pros is the 4 percent rule, which is based on research in all market conditions that shows a retiree can withdraw that amount annually from a portfolio invested half in stocks and half in bonds without depleting their financial reserves before they die. If you can be flexible and withdraw less, for example, when market returns are lower than expected or you've got reserves from previous years' withdrawals, you can make your money last longer.
— Seek assistance. There are government, nonprofit and for-profit programs that provide benefits to struggling seniors. The National Council on Aging (NCOA.org) helps the 60-plus set navigate things such as Supplemental Security Income, Medicaid, debt management programs and subsidized housing.

Albumen, or egg white, makes up about 65% of an egg's weight and more than half of an egg's protein.
As an egg ages, the protein in the egg white changes and becomes thinner and more transparent. Fresh eggs sit tall and firm in the pan, and older eggs will spread out more.
Beating albumen (egg whites) into a foam increases its volume by up to 6 to 8 times.
When you are going to beat egg whites, let the eggs sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before using them. The egg whites will beat to a greater volume.


Magasin 3: "Zidane – a 21st Century Portrait"
"Zidane – a 21st Century Portrait"
The film shows Zinédine Zidane – often described as one of the great football geniuses of our time – during a match between Real Madrid and Villareal on 23 April 2005.
During the 93 minutes of the match Zidane is followed by 17 cameras which show how he at times is enthusiastically engaged in the match, flies across the field and passionately argues with the referee, but also how he distractedly looks around, tests the grass with his shoes and folds his socks over and over again. The ball is hardly ever visible – instead the viewer is engaged in an exceptional study in real time where one at times almost feels like one is on the field right next to Zidane.
27 November 2008 – "THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL AT MAGASIN 3"

In conjunction with the exhibition Magasin 3 presents an evening program including film screening, bar and special guests.

During the evening the artwork "Numéro 10", 2006 (120 min) by Massimo Furlan - a filmed performance from Parc des Princes, Paris - is screened.

Raising pigs and planting seeds
Displaced people in the Kasai region of DR Congo begin to grow crops, raise pigs, and their children go to school
By Linda Espenshade
Strengthened by a continuing supply of emergency food, 700 families who have been displaced by violence in the Kasai region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DR Congo) are preparing to plant crops and to raise pigs to support themselves.
In partnership with Mennonite Central Committee (MCC), Congolese Mennonite and Mennonite Brethren churches have provided the tools, seeds and pigs to get started farming. Trauma healing workshops are beginning, and children are attending school.
Displaced families living in the cities of Kikwit and Tshikapa and the Kabwela area of DR Congo are among more than 1.4 million people who were forced from their homes by fighting so fierce that children saw their parents beheaded and their homes burned to the ground.
The fighting between local militia group Kamuina Nsapu and national security forces, which began in August 2016, subsided after a year and the death of about 5,000 people, according to Reuters news agency. However, the initial violence ignited existing ethnic hostilities that have caused ongoing bloodshed in parts of the region today.
About half of the displaced people have been able to return home, according to United Nations reports. Others cannot go back home because it's not safe or because their homes and villages no longer exist, said Mulanda Juma, MCC representative in DR Congo.
Monthly food distributions
MCC has been helping Congolese churches reach out to the displaced people who remain in their communities. Starting with a distribution of food, hygiene items and tarps in November 2017 to 460 households, the churches have expanded their food distributions so that today, 1,180 households are receiving monthly food distributions of flour, beans, oil and salt.

Funding for food primarily comes from MCC's account at the Canadian Foodgrains Bank, which will continue to support food distributions through March 2019. MCC's donors and Anabaptist organizations around the world are supporting the rest of the $1.1 million response.
"Through this assistance, we have saved lives," said Juma. "There were people who were going for a day or two without food and now they have food every day, sometimes three times a day. We had those who were begging on the street who are no longer begging on the street."
Petronie Lusamba, a mother of four whose husband was killed in the violence, said the food has made a big difference for her family.
"The quality of food they are giving is very good. My health and my children's health is so good because of the food. I thank MCC a lot," she said.
Growing food
Now the churches are going a step further and providing ways for families to grow their own food.
In Kabwela, Communauté Evangélique Mennonite (CEM; Evangelical Mennonite Church) is providing land for 100 families. The farmers have already begun to use their new machetes and hoes to prepare the fields and plant cowpeas, a legume with a high tolerance for sandy soil and heat. After harvesting the cowpeas in January, they will plant more and add cassava, a plant whose tuberous root can be ground into flour or cooked.

In Kikwit, Communauté des Eglises de Frères Mennonites au Congo (CEFMC; Mennonite Brethren Church of Congo) is providing pigs to 200 of the most vulnerable families. Once the pigs give birth, the piglets can be sold to buy other food, pay school fees and other bills.
In Tshikapa, Communauté Mennonite au Congo (CMCo; Mennonite Church of Congo) is carrying out similar projects with 300 crop farmers and 100 pig farmers.
Bolstering unity
Learning to distribute food fairly and to plan for future projects has been beneficial for church relief committee members in Tshikapa, said Juma. As members worked together to decide where to distribute food, they had to face their own biases against each other's ethnic groups and those of the recipients.

Juma, who had been a peacebuilding practitioner in South Africa with MCC, helped the committee learn to make decisions based on the recipients' level of vulnerability rather than ethnicity. Ultimately, every member of the relief committee agreed who the vulnerable people were and where to distribute the food.
"The food assistance has created some kind of unity," Juma said. The CMCo committee continues to work together as they learn more about finances and other elements of relief work.
In Tshikapa and in Kikwit, churches have added more women to their relief committees than the two that MCC required when the committees were created, Juma said. Initially, the churches hesitated to include women, but as the women's ability to organize became evident, the churches appointed more women and sent them for training to learn more about humanitarian work.

To help address the emotional wounds that burden many displaced people, MCC is supporting trauma healing training and workshops. Trauma practitioners from eastern DR Congo taught 17 displaced people from the three Mennonite and Mennonite Brethren churches how to lead community-based trauma healing workshops.
As part of the three-day workshops, the newly trained leaders explain to other displaced people what trauma is and how it manifests itself in destructive behaviors. Leaders create safe space for group members to talk about their personal traumatic experiences and to grieve with each other before they talk together about how to live into the future.
Back in school
All three churches are helping displaced children move on with their lives by making sure they have uniforms and school supplies and can attend school regularly. Starting in September, about 950 children, most who had missed school for at least one year, began going to school.

One of those children is Kanku Ngalamulume, who was 10 years old in February 2018. He told Juma then that he saw his parents and siblings being beheaded before he had managed to escape to Tshikapa with some neighbors.
"I am alone here," he told Juma through tears. "Mama Agnes (another displaced person) is the one taking care of me. If she has food, we eat. If she doesn't have, we don't eat," he said. "I have no hope for (any) reason." His eyes and slumped shoulders on his photograph matched his words.
When Kanku Ngalamulume came to Tshikapa, he didn't smile. He had experienced great trauma because of watching the murder of his parents and siblings. Eight months later, after receiving regular food, school supplies and being taken in as part of a family, a smile has returned to his face. MCC photos/Mulanda Juma and Matthieu Abwe Luhanglea
Eight months later, Ngalamulume seemed happier when Matthieu Abwe Luhanglea, MCC's program manager in DR Congo, visited him in Tshikapa. Ngalamulume is now living with one of the relief committee members. He has regular food and goes to school, where he is doing well academically.
"You know he didn't smile before," Luhanglea told Juma. "He's healthy and smiling."
Small positive changes encourage Juma as he works with the churches to address the ongoing needs.
"People need more and more income generation, need more support for education and more support for health," he said.
But he is grateful for all that already has been given.
"Thank you so much for the support. We really, really appreciate it," Juma said. "People on the ground appreciate the support very much. It's making a difference."
Contributions to support MCC's work in the Kasai region of DR Congo can be directed to mcc.org/cause/kasai-emergency-response, phoned to 888-563-4676 or mailed to Mennonite Central Committee U.S., 21 S. 12th St., P.O. Box 500, Akron, Pa. 17501.

12 Environmental Features of Biophilic Design
Harleen Mclean | 27 November, 2020

Biophilic design improves our physical well-being, our mentally health, it reduces stress levels, improving clarity of thought, PLUS boosting our creativity and even helps to accelerate healing. With all these bonuses it's no surprise that Biophilia is being given precedence in design research and practice.

In today's world of productivity, corporate offices and hospitals are spending112 times the amount of money on people as they do on energy costs in the workplace. Although incorporating nature into the workplace is no longer seen as a luxury, it is now a worthwhile economic investment.

Eminent Yale Professor and Biophilia advocateStephen R Kellert founded more than 70 different processes for creating a biophilic experience. Together with the 3 categories broken down into 6 elements, the 12 characteristics of the natural world are the most easily incorporated and recognised of Biophilic Interior Design these are as follows.

Water - water features can provide both visual stimulation and soothing sounds whilst evoking the resonant of a calming babbling brook. Similarly, water can be used as a white noise to cover up the mundane sounds of office phones ringing, machines and colleges conversations. Fountains are a great way to create areas for employees to gather, especially if placed in the right spot or you could place a fountain in the reception area of the office to greet visitors and clients. Although do remember to consider if your office is situated in an area that has naturally high air humidity, then adding more water to the office air could lead to a rise in the humidity of the interior which may become uncomfortable or even be unhealthy. Make sure when getting a water feature/ fountain fitted in the office to consult with a fountain designer in order to get the correct one for your work environment.

2. Air – when it comes to air people normally opt for natural airflow rather than artificial airflow. Artificial airflow can irritate sensitive membranes within the nose and throat, which could lead to employees becoming more susceptible to germs, viruses and even allergens which may lead to asthma or even employee absenteeism.Phillippe Pare from Gensler Architect and Design Consultancy stated that"improved air quality has to be up there as one of the biggest benefits of biophilic design as it plays an important role in reducing absenteeism, which is a huge business cost."

3. Colour – Colour empowerment has been a key part in human evolution and survival since ancient times; its visual signaling enabled us to identify danger and locate food and water. When it comes to colour selection, it's important to choose a colour scheme that represents the local natural environment, or the brand colours of the company, both help create a sense of belonging through attachment to a place.

4. Natural Materials – when it comes to materials people normally opt for natural over artificial; artificial materials don't possess the innate organic processes of weathering, ageing and other dynamic features that make up natural materials. Creating direct and meaningful connections to these natural elements creates movement, diversity and multi-sensory interaction with your environment. For example,Frank Lloyd Wright used wood grain and the veining of stone as decorative elements within his interior and was always exploring the relationship of interior to exterior through the use of natural materials.

5. Sunlight – the body's response to daylight is another key part of how we connect the power of biophilia. Daylight effects both our circadian rhythm and eye function. The morning light is yellow and becomes bluer in mid-day and then shifts to red as we reach late afternoon. Exposure to natural light can have many benefits on our health such as improving our mood and even regulating our sleep pattern. The hormones serotonin and melatonin are regulated by sunlight and darkness, without the correct balance, our sleep patterns can be disturbed, which effects both our neurological and immune system functions. Therefore, natural light is important in providing specific wavelengths of light which are needed by the human body to establish and maintain serotonin and melatonin balance.

6. Fire - fire is one of the trickier elements to incorporate into a built environment. Symbols of fire within interiors are a sign of comfort and civilization providing welcoming qualities of warmth, colour and movement. The experience of fire has long been a source of comfort and security. In order to create the satisfying presence of fire within the built environment fireplaces or hearths can be included. Likewise, a safer representation can be simulated through the creativity of light, movement, colour and materials of varying heat conductance.

7. Plants – plants are a key part to human existence as a source of food, security and sustenance. By incorporating plants into the built environment, you can enhance employee's well-being, performance, comfort and satisfaction. Plants are beneficial for the work environment as they improve air quality. When it comes to including plants try to plant them in sufficient quantities as, indoor plants have been shown to remove many types of air-borne pollutants from both the outdoors and indoors. Similarly, by incorporating plants into office interior you increase your employee's well-being resulting in a reduction in sick leave.Research has shown that the ability of plants to absorb carbon dioxide also has beneficial features for the office as workplace productivity can decline is CO2 levels rising. There has beensupporting evidence that shows that people working in offices with plants reported feeling happier in their job and performance at work. Plants are essential in a work environment to enhance employee satisfaction and health.

8. Façade greening - architecture that incorporates green roofs or living walls provoke both an interest and satisfaction. Organic materials are seen as a source of insulation, camouflaging, protection and clean air.

9. Animals – incorporating animals into office may be seen as problematic and difficult unless working in an aquarium or aviaries. But animals in the office don't have to be literal they can be representational which may be in the form of decoration, art, ornaments which can be stylised to fit the office environment. The presence of animal forms can evoke feelings of pleasure, satisfaction, emotional interest and stimulation. These can also be found in the earliest human structures such as theEgyptian Sphinx andNeolithic Gobekli

10. Geology and Landscape – an effective design strategy is creating a connection with the building's geological features. These structures can be described as both grounded and rooted. A great example of this is architect Frank Lloyd Wright's who achieved this success through his Prairie-style architecture by creating structures that work along strong parallel relations to the environment rather than dominating the landscape.

11. Habitats and Ecosystems – buildings and landscapes that have a close and well-suited relationship to local habitats and ecosystems are always more favoured. These types of ecosystems could be forests, watersheds, wetlands and even grasslands. A great example of this is theCookfox Architect's office which is situated with a 3,000 square foot green roof that changes colour and vibrancy from season to season following the natural changes of the years.

12. Views – people always strive for a strong and consistence outdoor view, especially when the view offers natural features and vegetation. Views of water or physical access to natural water features have been shown to have a positive impact on our health as long as they are clean and unpolluted. It is estimated that by incorporating views of nature into the office space you save up to £1,500 per employee per year in office costs. Likewise, millions could be saved annually in healthcare cost as a result of providing patients with a view of nature.

These seemingly small investments into office design can greatly improve your bottom line. Plants, daylight, natural views and other Biophilic environmental features incorporated in interiors, offices, health facilities, and outdoors create healthy environments that result in savings in time and money.

What a fabulous sounding class! Thanks so much for the giveaway!
I would like to learn how to compose meaningful, beautiful photos in places that seem mundane because we are here every day.
I'm hoping to learn how to see my every day surroundings in a new way. Thanks for the chance to win!
Sounds like a great class. I can always use new inspiration!
Oh I would love this class, any inspiration for the regular everyday photos is exactly what I need! I really like the idea of taking photos of routine and spaces...both things I don't think to take pics of.

Exhibition and Grant Highlight Old Detroit Haunt Scarab Club
The Scarab Club just received a share of a $57K grant from the city of Detroit for renovations. The 108-year-old arts and social club next to the DIA will share the grant with Belle Isle, whose share will cover re-opening the connection between the aquarium and the conservatory. While many Detroiters know and love Belle Isle, the tiny Scarab Club is a little less famous. The 1907 building, famously host to evenings with Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, Norman Rockwell and inaugural Whitney Director Juliana Force, is a strange temple of sorts, lovingly adorned with touches of deco opulence as well as red brick austerity. Today, the club remains a hub for visual, literary and performing arts, hosting poetry readings, community event and musical performances in a variety of Genre. This week, the club opened a new exhibition, Natural Selection Works, curated by Jim Pujdowski
While the gallery shows are always intriguing, and the club hosts music and literary events regularly, the two invites we'd like to get are to the member and guest social evenings (the third Thursday of every month) and, or course, the 90th annual Halloween Costume Ball. Given that the ball's first theme was "Fashion in 2017," we're thinking there are worse ideas than this year's "Rat Pack," although in 1917, no one could've imagined things like visible whale tail, the Snuggie and the way fashionable women seem to all dress like it's 1957.
Natural Selection is well worth a visit to the DIA-adjacent club. The works, mainly by Wayne State alums, don't naturally suit one another, but something about the variety of styles and ideas represented suggests a harmony among very disparate elements. Artists featured in the show include Shirley Dombrowski Parish, Andrew Blake, Carlo Vitale and Robert Quentin Hyde. The exhibition continues through October 10. The Scarab Club is open Wednesdays from noon - 5 pm.

Ulthuan • View topic - Dwarves just...just like everywhere.
Post subject: Dwarves just...just like everywhere.
Yeah so it seems like the meta currently for where I play has shaken down so about 50% of the players here are playing dwarves.
So at the moment my high elves are getting slaughtered by cannons, guns and wave after wave of T4+ foot troops with good armor saves. Lead by nearly indestructible lords (Thanks End Times..) and turning my usually ineffective magic phases into an even more worthless portion of the game.
Sooo... what is a high elf player to do to strike fear into the effectively stubborn hearts of these pesky little beardlings?
Post subject: Re: Dwarves just...just like everywhere.
Arcane unforging helps A LOT!!! Dont let him rune of forget this spell!!!!!
Arcane unforging their lord gets rid of the T10 armor!
Also, dwarves have high leadersheep (better than elves,) I recommend not counting on winning through combat res alone. They need to be killed to the point they lose stubborn.
Gyro's are scary but I dont remember why...I nuke them pretty quick.
Use lots of small attacks (or ranged/magic) to kill the guys with the better parry save.
Huge block of white lions with Allarielle and other sorts of combat characters to keep her at second rank.
As a player who also has a dwarf army, deathstars are something dwarfs have trouble dealing with.
With the exception of gyrocopters, dwarfs lack mobility seriously.
This often leads to units being reactive towards enemy units.
and can only stand up against them while shooting warmachines.
ASL means many dwarfs will perish before showing their true combat prowess.
And then the stubborn block usually dies to one man(dwarf) before doing any significant damage.
The problem gets worse, particularly if the deathstar has BotWD and solid ward save which could be boosted.
Blocking paths with gyrocopters until killing all units bar the deathstar is the best I could hope for.
Just make sure you're not up against anyone using Lore of Life when using lists like this.
my advise lots and lots of swordmasters and heavens archmage.
Heavens lvl 4 is imo the best way to take out the gyros which is the biggest problems with dwarfs, combine this with some bolt throwers and hopefully you can kill them off before they can do any huge chunk of damage.
As for Swordmasters in my most recent list I use a unit of 14 with Botwd (14 bcuz of Swedish comp restricting 15) with a seahelm in it and one more unit of 24Swordmasters with razor standard and a lvl 2high mage in it (with the +5wardsave item).
As long as you can take care of the copters and get the Swordmasters into action you will completely butcher the dwarfs.
Actually, any avoidance list would give that list a hard time. Footslogging deathstars aren't all that good currently, but certainly do work wonders against dwarfs.
Thank you for the help so far folks. I don't know if any of it will work at the moment though.
We're usually at 1500 to 2500 points. No comp stuff, just regular BRB.
Magic won't work. I've been doing that for over a year now and it's far too unreliable even without dwarves in the equation.
Horde of white lions could work...not sure I've got 30+ of them though. I do have a lot of ground troops though. Swordmasters could be tried, at least they get a 6+ ward versus some of that shooting.
Usually WM has runes which means your WL with BotWD have a 2+ ward save against them so your 30+ WL should be intact by the time they get into contact.
White Lions will win combat against Dwarf warriors and Longbeards (it will take several turns to take them down though) but they would get wrecked by a large block of hammerers. Our only hope against hammerer are Pheonix Guard.
Phoenix guard are brilliant against Dwarfs! My regular dwarf opponent really fears them. Their ward save makes makes them very durable allowing them to make it through a lot of shooting and gyro templates. Buffing them to 3++ with high magic makes them extremely hard to kill.
I find high magic to be great against dwarfs too. Fiery convocation is nasty for their large elite infantry blocks and arcane unforging is very handy vs a dwarf lord or bsb.
Our bolt throwers can be useful for taking down a gyro or 2 but if he has several you may need some small units of cavalry or something to charge them down.


We see a well-known scene from the film Grease (Randal Kleiser, 1978) featuring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John in the lead roles. The same 23-second sequence is shown over and over on an endless loop. The dancing, and above all the catchy melody, are repeated again and again: we are trapped in a loop.
We are greeted by the word »hello« which fades in over the video in black writing. While we are still trying to make sense of the strange situation, text continues to appear on the screen, analyzing the loop. It tells us of the artist's fascination with the scene in question, which has given way to an obsession. A further window fades in featuring Youtube clips, Wikipedia entries and other visual elements which point to unnoticed details hidden in the loop. They complement the written word and open up a further level of interpretation. This is made possible by the desktop-like virtual space created by the video. According to Max Grau, the footage from Grease is the point of departure for an escalating story in which personal and anecdotal themes from his private realm of thoughts are mixed with theoretical questions.
Whether we follow the tempo of the narration, devoting our attention to the anecdotes which constantly leap between themes from pop culture, nostalgia and the internet phenomenon, or whether we remain caught up in the ›loopyness‹ of the loop is down to us to decide. As engaged subjects of the narration, we are always so close to the on-screen events that a feeling of intimacy arises. Which is absurd, when you think about it: all we have to go on is some text, no face and no voice (except, of course, for Travolta's singing).
