It is important to 'set the scene' in this dilemma. The central character is a pharmacist. Our pharmacist has worked for this community pharmacy company for 20 years. She has hitherto had an unblemished conduct record. In fact over the years, including this year, the company have recognised her achievements and contribution to patient care and to the progression of company goals. Our pharmacist is highly motivated and really tries to 'hit the numbers'.
Over her 20 years working as a pharmacist for this company our pharmacist has noticed how things have become busier and how the demands of the job have increased. The culmination of the series of events that we are about to present meant that she felt she had no other choice but to hand in her notice and resign from her current position as the pharmacist in this store.
The core question in this dilemma is when it would be reasonable for the pharmacist to leave. In other words at what point do you think the pharmacist would have a reasonable claim of constructive dismissal?


Joel was a captain in the Revolution.
On August 8, 1778, Samuel Fuller deeded to Joel Parrish, 370 acres of land "for the love and affection of his daughter Rhoda Parrish, wife of Joel Parrish....." Samuel Huckaby witnessed this deed as did Joel Parrish witness the deed to Huckaby. William Johnson who married another Spivey girl and hence the uncle of Lydia and Rhoda witness both deeds.Recorded in DB-7, page 204 of Bute (Franklin) Co., NC deedbooks.
Henry Parrish, the Revolutionary War ancestor of the Parrishes of South Georgia and Florida, was born in Spotsylvania, VA., about 1740, a son of Joel Parrish who died there testate in 1791. Henry Parrish, about 1770 married Mary Ann Monk, born 1748, and they had 10 children. Henry Parrish moved to New Hanover County, NC., but whether before or after marriage cannot be deternined.
He served three years in the NC Continental Line for which he was paid by the State of NC, and also granted bounty land there. Soon after the war he moved to Wilkes County, GA, where he was granted 200 acres of land and also in 1787 bought 92 acres more on the Ogeechee River, from a Benjamin Few ( the signer of the Constitution ?) a few years after he moved to Bulloch County where he lived until his death. His will dated June 23, 1800, was probated June 30, 1800, so he died between those dates. Executors of the will were his wife Mary Ann, John Daughtrey and Jacob Mincy. The will gave his estate to his wife for her lifetime, then to be divided between his 10 children.
Will dated June 23, 1800 probated.
Note--- Mrs. Florrie Hendry of Adel, was the first descendant of Henry Parrish to become a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution on the record of his service; she became a member in 1949, and is a member of the John Floyd Chapter, and her National Numberis 386789. She descends through the son, Henry.

In Bush's Wake, A New Political Landscape In a few days, George W. Bush's presidency will come to a close. He leaves the political landscape considerably altered in his wake: The path to the White House is now a grass-roots one, and a once-strong GOP coalition is now shattered.
President George W. Bush's Legacy
In Bush's Wake, A New Political Landscape
< In Bush's Wake, A New Political Landscape
January 13, 20094:00 PM ET
MICHELE NORRIS, host:
One week from today, President George W. Bush will leave office. When Mr. Bush entered the White House eight years ago, his party controlled the House and the Senate. Now, the Republicans have lost them both, not to mention the White House. NPR's Mara Liasson reports on President Bush's political legacy.
MARA LIASSON: When George W. Bush was asked by ABC's Charlie Gibson what happened in the 2008 elections, he didn't mince words.
(Soundbite of TV show "World News with Charles Gibson," December 1, 2008)
President GEORGE W. BUSH: I think it was a repudiation of Republicans - you know, I'm sure some people voted for Barack Obama because of me.
LIASSON: And that is a remarkable reversal from the president's decisive re-election victory in 2004 and his hopes for a lasting Republican majority.
Professor DAN SCHNUR (Political Science, University of California, Berkeley; Director, Jesse Unruh Institute for Politics, University of Southern California): It's almost frightening at how quick the political landscape has turned.
LIASSON: Dan Schnur is a longtime Republican strategist who directs the Jesse Unruh Institute for Politics at the University of Southern California.
Prof. SCHNUR: Four years ago, there were books being written by very smart people from all political ideologies about an enduring Republican political majority.
LIASSON: Today, Republicans must contemplate some sobering political facts: on electoral geography, where they just lost Republican strongholds like Virginia, Indiana and North Carolina; and on electoral demography, where Democrats beat them two-to-one among Hispanics, the fastest-growing voting group in America, and young voters, who are forming what could be lifelong political preferences. Even Karl Rove, the architect of the Bush political strategy, admits his Republican majority was short-lived.
Mr. KARL ROVE (Former Deputy Chief of Staff, George W. Bush Administration): Well, not very durable in the short run, but let's see what happens.
LIASSON: Rove looks back on three key factors in 2008.
Mr. ROVE: We had an unpopular war, we had an erratic and lackluster campaign on the part of the Republicans, and we had then the worst financial crisis in at least 50 years, if not more.
LIASSON: Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who engineered the great Republican victories in Congress in 1994, puts the blame elsewhere.
Former Representative NEWT GINGRICH (Republican, Georgia; Former Speaker of the House): The Bush failures to implement starting, really, with Katrina; the Rove model of focusing on base mobilization; and the House and Senate Republicans losing total touch with their own voters - all of those things came together to be a disaster. And '06 and '08 will be looked back upon as a period where we went from the potential for a governing majority, which we had as late as the summer of '04, to throwing it all away, which is a pretty remarkable achievement. Democrats had almost nothing to do with it.
LIASSON: Rove rejects that analysis.
Mr. ROVE: I love how everybody gets it wrong; 2000 and 2004 were not base elections. Compassionate conservatism was about energizing the base and allowing the governor of Texas to go out and get people who would not normally vote Republican. And the campaign in 2004 was aimed at maximizing the strength among existing Republicans, and then getting 16 percent of the black vote in Ohio, getting working-class Democrats, getting 44 percent of the Latinos. All of these things were aimed at reaching outside the normal Republican base.
LIASSON: And that's the root the Obama campaign followed, increasing turnout among Democrats while pulling over small but important bits of the Republican vote. Ironically, part of President Bush's political legacy may be the model of grassroots campaigning that carried him in 2004, one the Obama team went to school on and then took to a whole new level. In 2004, Rove helped generate an army of volunteers, mostly drawn from the evangelical community, who campaigned neighbor to neighbor and expanded the electorate in ways that surprised and overwhelmed the Kerry campaign.
Mr. ROVE: I don't want to diminish Obama's very thoughtful and skillful and tactically brilliant campaign. They said, we're going to study what Bush did in the army of persuasion and duplicate it, and we're going to go out and try and get small but significant slices of what the other guy's coalition was in the past two elections.
LIASSON: Although President Bush's party may be in retreat for now, Newt Gingrich says Mr. Bush wrought other political changes that will last for a very long time.
Rep. GINGRICH: He brought social conservatism much further into the center of power than it had been in 70 years. He appointed two very solid- conservative Supreme Court justices who will shape policy for a generation. There are some things George W. Bush can go home and feel pretty proud about.
LIASSON: In the long run, says Dan Schnur, Mr. Bush's political legacy will depend on how successful President-elect Obama will be in cementing his own majority.
Prof. SCHNUR: I guess the question that can't be answered for another four years is whether Barack Obama's victory this past November was an aberration or a forerunner of things to come. If he does cement this type of support, these various voter groups become Democrats for election cycles for many years to come, and that's something that obviously looks very poorly toward the Bush political legacy.
LIASSON: But if in four years voters turn back to the GOP, George Bush's political legacy may look very different, indeed. Mara Liasson, NPR News, Washington.

Head:Not a great day with the bat but I thought we fought hard with the ball and on the field. Preparation was good, we trained well and had clear plans. The wicket spun quite a bit.
Iyer: Lucky toss to lose. Would have batted first as well. Expected the pitch to be flat but it suddenly started turning. Happy for the guys picked in the Test squad, especially Prithvi Shaw to be selected at that age. We've played for Mumbai together so good to see him there.
3.10pm That is that. Ambati Rayudu, who had missed the ODI tour to England after failing a fitness test, has marked his return to action with a match-winning fifty for India A against the Australians at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. He came in at 21 for 3, then saw his side slump further to 29 for 4, but combined with Krunal Pandya for a 109-run stand to rescue the chase. Pandya nicked off with his side 14 runs away from victory, but Rayudu eventually sealed the game.


I met this girl, and I really like her. I mean, I hurt I like this girl so much. She misses her ex so much and it hurts to hear her say that, for two reasons. One is selfish: because she's not saying it about me. The second isn't: Because she's hurting. She doesn't see how much I like her. She doesn't feel the hurt I feel when I don't get to talk to her. She doesn't stay up at night thinking about me, as I do her. I think about her all day, too. I enjoy her company so much. She's so beautiful, and smart, and everything I could ask for in a girl. The only problem, when it comes to the love I feel for her, she's blind. She can't see what I feel for her. And she doesn't want to hear what I have to say about my love for her. If she ever reads this, which she probably won't, but on the off chance that she does, I think I love you. Give me a chance.

It's easy to forget how critical the attic is in regards to keeping your home comfortable. If you're sensing that heat is escaping your home and you can't identify how or where, there's a chance that your attic is playing a role. Attic insulation helps trap the heat that rises to the top of your home by removing possibilities for the heat to pass through your ceiling by conduction or air leaks. When it comes down to it, insulating your attic or putting in more attic insulation might be one of the most important jobs you do to keep your home warm and comfy in the winter months.
Older homes don't normally meet today's efficiency standards and are often under-insulated. By preventing the heat from leaking through your attic, insulation reduces utility bills quite a bit and makes your home more energy efficient and cost-effective. Your heating and cooling systems will have the chance to run for fewer hours and preserve more comfortable temperatures, increasing the life span of your system and decrease your carbon footprint. Not to mention that you will then stay warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer – insulation retains the air from your HVAC system in your home and helps you stay more cozy every month of the year.
Figuring out when you need to replace and reinstall your attic insulation requires a few safety considerations. The ideal way to determine your current insulation levels is visually – if your insulation levels are at or below your attic floor joists, you should add more insulation. But, if you can't see any of your attic floor joists because the insulation is above them, you do not need to add any more insulation. Knowing your insulation's "R-value" can also reveal when it's time to add more. R-values reveal the durability and thickness of the insulation and the kind of insulation it's providing you. The higher the R-value, the better the insulation. R-values between R-30 and R-49 are optimal, depending on how cold the area that you live in can get, which can range from 12 to 20 inches of insulation. Note: Service Experts does not provide asbestos cleaning or control in attics.
Residential attic insulation is usually made of either fiberglass batts or cellulose. Fiberglass batts consist of pre-cut pink, yellow, or white wooly fiberglass material, usually stacked in rolls or in blanket format. Cellulose is more loose-fitting and is created from ground-up paper and cloth made to be fire-resistant. Cellulose is normally blown into attics through huge hoses, reaching every corner of an attic for maximum coverage. There is also the loose mineral wool, foam board or blocks, and light-weight vermiculite possibilities that some homeowners opt for. As a favorite choice among attic insulation companies, as well as being a top-notch provider of HVAC services, Service Experts can offer advice to you on the correct type of insulation for Denver.
Roll-On: This speedy and easy installation process is made up of rolling pad or blanket insulation flexibly and tightly throughout your attic. It is used with fiberglass, mineral wool, and other fiber insulation materials.
Blown-In: This process is perfect for loose-fitting forms of attic insulation because it blows the material to fill small crevices, stopping air leakage and moisture to reduce mold or odor build-up. It is used for cellulose and mineral wool insulation materials.
Some homeowners could be able to receive rebates from their local utility provider if they choose to add insulation due to its energy efficiency. Some areas can give up to $0.15 per square foot in rebates while others offer a flat-rate. Check out the finance offers that Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning provides, making attic insulation replacement affordable for anyone.

Singer Castle - Dark Island - 1000 Islands
Chippewa Bay
Singer Castle Built For Frederick G. Bourne, President Of Singer Manufacturing Company
The last of the castles in the Thousand Islands to be built, Singer Castle on Dark Island was originally called "The Towers." Dark Island itself was originally referred to as "Lone Star" by Native Americans, later getting its name because of the number of evergreens present which gave the island a "dark" look. The castle itself has everything a castle-lover could dream of: dungeons, secret passageways, a great hall with unparalleled views of the St. Lawrence River and even a portrait that pulls back to allow the "viewing" of unsuspecting others from a stairwell (see the videos at the end) which earned it the title "Castle of Mysteries."

Designed for Frederick Bourne by architect Ernest Flagg, who also designed the Singer Building in Manhattan, Singer Castle would be completed just prior to the end of Bourne's presidency of the Singer Manufacturing Company in 1905. Flagg would use Sir Walter Scott's Woodstock Castle built in Scotland as inspiration for Singer Castle which remains the only remaining and completely finished castle from the Gilded Age in the Thousand Islands.
For a short introduction to Frederick Gilbert Bourne, one needs to look no further than Philip Selvaggio's Biography Frederick Gilbert Bourne Forgotten Titan Of The Gilded Age and its back cover—
In fewer than twenty years Frederick Bourne ascended from near poverty to being one of the wealthiest men in America. He has a direct historic connection with the Titanic disaster, the tragic death of John Lennon and the destruction of the World Trade Center Towers. He owned the finest estate on the Gold Coast of Long Island and built the tallest building in the world in Manhattan. His intellect, deep moral convictions, personal charm and business savvy brought him to the Presidency of the first multinational, multi-million dollar companies in America; the Singer Sewing Machine Company whose product planted a seed for the liberation of women throughout the world.

When Frederick Bourne began construction of "The Towers," herein Singer Castle until noted otherwise, it was to get away from his home, Indian Neck Hall, and "its mosquitos" on Long Island, as well as to gift his family a present after he promised them a vacation "shack." That shack must have been quite a surprise upon first sight, complete with 28 rooms, an enormous clock tower and two boathouses.
Whether due to its being constructed later in the Gilded Age era; its location further from the hub of the Thousand Islands, Alexandria Bay where Millionaire's Row is located, or both, there's very little to no newspaper articles with information during its actual construction.
Frederick G. Bourne's Singer Castle on Dark Island, originally known as "The Towers." Photo: Tom Barker.
Located close to the Canadian and American Border on the St. Lawrence River west of Chippewa Bay, Singer Castle is part of rural St. Lawrence County. More specifically, the closest thing to it is the town of Hammond, population of 280 in 2010, which is 5.5 miles away with half the distance being inland. As the crow files northeast (in a straight line), Singer Castle is roughly 9 miles from the more well-known Boldt Castle on Heart Island which sits direct opposite of Alexandria Bay.
In March of 1919, Frederick G. Bourne would pass away on Long Island at the age of 67. The Watertown Daily Times would note in part of his obituary—
His Oakland home adjoined the W. K. Vanderbilt estate, and cost $500,000. It was an architectural triumph, but not content with this he purchased Dark Island and at immense cost and with extreme labor, including the bringing of thousands of tons of soil from Canada for filling, he constructed there what was known as the "Castle of Mysteries."
The name came from queer towers and mysterious passageways, secret tunnels to the two docks and secret panels leading far beneath the surface of the earth.
Photo: C. T. Photochrom (from a postcard.)
In 1921, two years after Frederick Bourne's death, the family would see sisters against brother in fraud charges over the sale of Dark Island. As reported in the Watertown Daily Times—
New York, Nov. 10 — Suit was filed yesterday in the supreme court by Miss Marjorie Bourne, daughter of the late Commodore Frederick Bourne of the New York Yacht Club who died at his home in Oakdale, Long Island, on March 9, 1919, against her brother, Arthur K. Bourne, and George P. Vail, as executors of her father's estate.
Miss Bourne alleges that amongst the assets in this residuary estate was an island in the St. Lawrence river, known as Dark Island, where her father made his summer home in which she had a sentimental interest. Miss Bourne says that the actual value of this island, with its house and appurtances, was $55,000 but that an actual bid has been made for this property amounting to $74,000.

Marjorie Bourne claimed she was given first opportunity to purchase the property despite outside interests bidding prior. Believing in her brother's representations of figures, she agreed to the asking price of $389,100. Upon finding out the prior bid amount was only $74,000 and believed its value assessed as less, Miss Bourne charged that her brother misrepresented the facts to her and sought a refund or credit of the amount she and her sister paid over $74,000.
The case would ultimately be tossed out, the court finding that Arthur Bourne had valued the property at more than $389,100 on his books. The Frederick Bourne estate in its entirety was valued at $44,000,000 (100 years later, in 2022, the currency would equate to $743,065,714.29.)
Marjorie Bourne would purchase her sister's share of the property and marry Alexander Thayer of Gwyneed Valley, Pa. In 1928, it was said that her husband and she would add substantially to the property and make a number of improvements. They would retain ownership of Singer Castle until 1962 when Marjorie passed away at the age of 72. In her will, she left the property to the LaSalle Military Academy of Oakdale, Long Island, which was formerly Bourne's summer home Indian Neck Hall (and currently part of St. John's University.)
With the LaSalle Military Academy having no need for the property, Singer Castle and Dark Island would be put up for sale shortly afterward with an asking price of $225,000. It would sell a couple of years later in 1965 for $95,000 to the International and Interdenominational Evangelical Missionaries Association based in Quebec, Canada.

Per the April 25, 1965 article in the Ogdensburg Journal—
The new owners of this picturesque island in the town of Hammond plan to make a summer camp for the Christian Homes for Children, Inc., of Vaudreuil, P.Q., Canada. It is believed that the Rev. Harold George Martin, in association of this group and president of the Interdenominational Evangelical Missionaries also expects to purchase a tract of land on the mainland at Chippewa Bay for Athletic field and dormitory purposes. This organization is composed of Baptist, Methodist and Evangelical denominations.
Rev. Harold Martin would name the castle Jordstadt Castle, his family name origin being Martin-Jordstadt. The official ownership would later be noted as Harold Martin Evangelistic Association and Rev. Martin and his wife Marion would open Jordstadt Castle up for church services on Sundays for a number of years during their ownership. In 1986 they would put the property up for sale, asking $5,000,000.
Into the late 1980s and early 1990s, everybody from Michael Jackson to Donald Trump were rumored to be purchasing Dark Island. As time went on, the asking price went up… until it eventually went down and sold in 2002 for $1.7 Million. The buyer, Vladi Private Islands, owns a number of international islands and several other properties in the Thousand Island region including Casa Blanca on Cherry Island.
Below is a three-minute video exploring Singer Castle on Dark Island produced by Vladi Private Islands and posted on their YouTube account which is worth exploring, too.
Vladi Private Island would invest heavily in refurbishing, along with renaming, the property to Singer Castle for use as a tourist attraction. Dark Island Tours would begin the following year. In 2007, it was listed for sale by Sotheby's International Realty with an asking price of $22 Million. The listing has long since expired and the property is no longer on the market, but is available for tours and rentals via Vladi Private Islands website here.
Dark Island and Singer Castle average around 25,000 visitors a year, at least pre-pandemic, and has hosted numerous weddings and murder-mystery parties over the years.
Intersting Tidbit
In 1920, a film produced by Selznick Pictures and shot throughout the Thousand Islands including what was referred to as Bourne Castle was shown at Watertown's Olympic Theater. The silent film, "A Fool and his Money," was found to be enjoyable, but a little disappointing though it gave locals the opportunity to see the likes of Alexandria Bay, George Boldt's farm property on Wellesley Island and what would become known as Singer Castle on the silver screen. When it was known as Jorstadt Castle, it appeared in the backdrop in a scene for the 1999 movie "The Skulls."
Below: a short, under-three-minute tour of Singer Castle on Dark Island produced by WPBS several years ago and posted on their YouTube page.

I am planning to work as a software consultant; get the clients from email marketing and website visitors.
The advantage of a consultant is that they can save you hundreds of hours of pain in reconfiguring and sorting out the nagging issues that constantly pop up. Also, they can ensure that your design is clear, clean and communicates what you want to communicate. You should see your website as a tool for engagement with your customers. Align it to your story and the journey you want them to take - whatever you do don't though up a bunch of stuff and hope for the best.
Also, think about which CMS you want to use. Wordpress is very flexible, scalable and is a great system. It is also complex, requires programming and can be a struggle to make look nice.
Squarespace is easy, works out of the box and does everything that a small, growing business needs. No programming required.
We're in a world saturated by stock imagery right now. Sites that have pro, "real" images stand out from the crowd.
You mentioned you're after website traffic? Then you need to have an online marketing strategy in place that includes SEO.
A website developer will often not be able to help you with marketing. Some can - but just flush that out ahead of time.
You need someone or a solution that delivers a pro site along with help on SEO, list building, etc.
WordPress and Squarespace are both excellent options. If you like WordPress, check out Outer Gain (https://outergain.com). You can get a site and CRM (Follow Hook). Outer Gain also includes support and online training.

CMS platforms serve all the purpose that you might be looking for in a website. For your kind-of business model, I would suggest you to go for WordPress. It's a blogging CMS and way easier when it comes to the development part.
It is easy, you can do it. If you have time than it is possible to make a website easily. There are many informative blogs and websites where you can get information about it.
If you're planning to make a simple website then it's ok.
If the website need to have complex features then definitely hire a developer.
One benefit to hiring a website developer is with the collaboration of ideas between you and the developer, for the development of your website.
Another option is in using a hosting platform like Homestead.com.
Their content management system is easy to use... with the plug-ins and development components key for building your website.
And their reps walk you through any challenges that may arise.
