Singapore Human Resource Management: Can My Working Hour Exceed 44 hours a week?
Can My Working Hour Exceed 44 hours a week?
For employee covered by Part IV of the Employment Act cannot be requested to work more than 8 hours in a day or 44 hours in a week.
Other employees earning not more that $1,600* per month (excludes, overtime, bonus, Annual Wage Supplement, productivity incentives and allowances).
*S$1,600 will be changed to S$2,000 with effect from 1 Jan 2009.
Even contractually employee may sign and agree on whatever terms and conditions of the employment contract, however, the company employment contract which is illegal (non compliance to Employment Act) is considered in-valid.
The limit of 8 hours per day may be exceeded when an employee is not required to work more than five days a week. However, he/she is not required to work for more than nine hours per day or 44 hours in a week. The working hour does not include the tea break or lunch time.
Under the act, if the number of hours worked is less than 44 hours every alternate week, the limit of 44 hours a week may be exceeded in the other week. However, this must be stated in the contract of service and is subject to a maximum of 48 hours in one week or 88 hours in any continuous two week period.
A shift worker may be required to work up to 12 hours a day, provided that the average working hours each week do not exceed 44 over a continuous three week period.

In H&H: Lucinda Green exclusive
The Pony Club runs training opportunities and competitions for young people interested in riding.
The charity has been responsible for kick-starting the careers of equestrian team members and Olympic medal winners.
From mounted games and the prestigious Prince Philip Cup at Horse of the Year Show to area championships that allow riders to qualify for the prestigious national championships every summer, the Pony Club gives young riders countless opportunities to compete and represent their local branch.
While competition is a big part of PC life, training rallies and the annual camp are the mainstay of the organisation's popularity. The organisation now includes numerous Members' centres where young people who do not own their own pony can enjoy the benefits that the charity offers. Teaching young riders basic horse and pony care is an important part of the charity's remit, with the Pony Club Manual of Horsemanship being a must-read book for all junior equestrians.
Many top riders have fond memories of their Pony Club days, which they have shared with Horse & Hound.
How do you find the perfect Pony Club pony?
Rarer than rubies, more valuable per ounce than gold, as sought after as truffles, the Pony Club gem is top of every mother's wish list. But how do you go about finding one?

Yes, but a current src tree is the only aspect of kernsrc that lsof uses.
I should probably rename kernsrc to kld.


Whilst Jane Austen's most popular book tends to be Pride and Prejudice, Northanger Abbey remains my favourite. Despite its largely unlikable characters, this mock Gothic tale is one that is still funny today, and is a great example of Austen's classic wit and satire.
Yes, it's a book about rabbits! But for me this book is so much more, and was a huge favourite of mine when I was a child, as was the film. I know a lot of people say that they find both the book and the film a little disturbing, but I think that's partly because they do such a good job of showing the cruelty of humans and their disregard for the environment and animals. The book also uses world building that rivals some fantasy novels (the rabbits have their own language, hierarchy, mythology and even their own versions of God and Satan), has great characterisation (which considering the fact that all the characters are non-humans is pretty incredible!), and is an all-round powerful book.
Whilst I have never been much of a fan of the huge, weighty novels of Charles Dickens, Thomas Hardy's work is another matter, despite being equally dense (and considerably more depressing!). It was hard to pick between Tess of the d'Urbervilles and Far From The Madding Crowd for this list, but in the end I went for Madding Crowd. I just love the various dynamics between Bathsheba and her three very different suitors, and the relatively happy ending left me with a more satisfied feeling than the grim ending of Tess.
Mary Shelley's macabre masterpiece is still incredibly chilling today, and is a classic tale about the dangers of playing God. I have always loved the complexity of this novel, as despite Frankenstein's creature technically being the villain (he kills all the hero's family members after all!), you feel an immense amount of sympathy for him, whilst kind of hating Frankenstein for his treatment of him.
Like Frankenstein, H.G. Wells' The Island of Doctor Moreau is all about the consequences of playing God. The hero, Prendick, finds himself shipwrecked on an island inhabited only by the sinister Doctor Moreau, his assistant Montgomery and Doctor Moreau's horrific creations – the so-called 'Beast People', who are animals who have been turned into humans…sort of. It's an intriguing yet unsettling novel anyway, which really makes you think about what it means to be human.
F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby is set in 1920s New York, and is a tale of fabulous parties, extravagance and beautiful people. Yet underneath its glamour it exposes the emptiness and hypocrisy of the upper class society of that time, and does so through some of the most beautiful and poignant writing I have ever read.
This was actually the first book I ever reviewed on this blog, and I gave it a 5/5. It's still one of my favourite books now, as I love the atmosphere conjured up by the bleak descriptions of the Cornish moors and really like the gutsy heroine Mary Yellan. I have also read Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier, which was fantastic too, but I felt that the smugglers and shipwrecks of Jamaica Inn were slightly more exciting, and the heroine more dynamic.
I'm a huge fan of all three of the Brönte sisters' work, but Jane Eyre has to be my absolute favourite. I love that Jane isn't your classic helpless Gothic heroine – she is plain-looking and shy, yet knows her own mind and sticks to her values even when it means losing her chance at love. Mr Rochester also has to be one of my favourite romantic heroes ever, which helps!
I am a huge fantasy fan, and this all stems from The Lord of the Rings. As the original epic fantasy, it will always be one of my favourite books, and the world created within it by J.R.R. Tolkien is one that I will continue to return to, over and over again.
So what are your favourite classics?
Have read all but two of these books: Watership down and Island of Dr Moreau. Have no particular reason why not, just havent, and I have too many other books to add them to my collection right now.
I struggle with doing "Top Tens" of any book related things – do you have any tips?
I like doing Top Tens but they definitely can be tough! I decided on the ten books for this quite easily, but found it so hard to put them in order of which I liked best, so I think my only tip would be not to worry about the order too much. I just picked the top three that I knew I like the best (The Lord of the Rings was a clear winner for me!) and then arranged the others however.
I just watched the Watership Down movie for the first time the other week – so freaking weird, in a wonderful way!
It is definitely one of those films that leaves you with a very weird feeling (I think it's because I can never really work out if the end is happy or sad! Hazel dies, so it's sad, but peacefully, so is it happy?), but I really do love it!
Yes to Northanger Abbey! I think it's rather overlooked. I just reread Jane Eyre and it's definitely in my top ten.
Northanger Abbey really is overlooked. I like Pride and Prejudice and Mansfield Park too, but I definitely enjoyed Northanger Abbey more!
Northanger Abbey and Jane Eyre are there for me, too – Jane Eyre is my favourite, Pride And Prejudice a close second. I completely agree with you about NA; it's stood the test of time in a different way to the others. Despite not loving them completely, I really appreciate Rebecca and The Great Gatsby, in fact I think of them more when writing blog posts than the rest. There is just so much to discuss. I also love/hate Wuthering Heights; it's tough to say you love that one!
Wuthering Heights really is a tough one! I love the story and the atmosphere it creates, but don't really like any of the characters that much which is why it's a love/hate book for me too. Jane and Mr Rochester are flawed but likeable in Jane Eyre, whereas Cathy and Heathcliff just seem like all round bad people. Thanks for commenting!
What struck me about your top ten is the absence of George Eliot and Charles Dickens. I would certainly recommend Adam Bede and Hard Times as two very accessible novels by those two. I would also recommend that you try some 'foreign' authors, say Balzac, Gogol, and possibly Solzhenitsyn. Finally, I've found some 20th century British novelists very rewarding: Lawrence Durrell's Alexandria Quartet and Olivia Manning's Balkan Trilogy. Like your blog and you've reminded me about Northanger Abbey, I really should re-read it.
I did read A Tale of Two Cities at university and found it quite hard-going which has put me off Dickens a bit, but I will have to give Hard Times a go if it is a bit more accessible. And I had kind of forgotten about George Eliot! I did read The Mill on the Floss quite a while back and enjoyed it, so I'll have to read some of her other work. Thanks for all your suggestions! I will definitely be checking some of these out.
I tend to shy away from classic novels, but in high school I was forced to read a few of them. I particularly liked The Great Gatsby and Pride and Prejudice. I also remember really enjoying the different themes of Frankenstein. Sometimes classics are so much more enjoyable when you can discuss it in an academic setting.
I definitely agree that classics can be more enjoyable when you get to discuss them! I think sometimes when you are forced to read books for school/college/university it can really put you off them (which is why to this day I still hate Of Mice and Men!), but it can also enhance them for you when you learn about all the historical context and themes behind them. Thanks for commenting!
I can't wait until I get to Northanger Abbey and Far From the Madding Crowd. I love Austen, and I really enjoyed Tess of the d'Ubervilles.
I hate that feeling when you finish an amazing series too! And The Lord of The Rings is definitely one of the best! Glad you have enjoyed it.
And Dr Moreau totally freaked me out too (but maybe I'm kind of a pansy too!), but I really liked that about it. I think when a book is quite old it can seem kind of tame compared to modern day books, but Dr Moreau is still super creepy today (well, it is to us at least! Not sure about anyone else!).
*gaps* I LOVE The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde! I've only read it once (I'm not sure I could stomach another read, it's rather creepy and took me a while to get through), but I really enjoyed it- if you can enjoy experiencing chills, that is. I really want to read Jane Eyre, so I'm glad to hear another recommendation!
Even though I love Jekyll and Hyde it isn't the kind of book I can imagine myself rereading much either. It's amazing but seriously creepy! And I really hope you enjoy Jane Eyre. It's got such a great gothic atmosphere and Jane and Mr Rochester are one of my favourite fictional couples!
As with any ton ten list, there's always some with which I agree and others I don't, though overall you have a very good list– and your mini reviews are fab!

Horncastle Bishops Palace has been described as a probable Palace.
There are no visible remains.
This is a Grade 2 listed building protected by law*.
The manor of Horncastle was sold by Ralph de Rhodes to Walter Mauclerk, the third Bishop of Carlisle, to whom it was confirmed by Henry III. in 1229-30. Horncastle had once been a Roman station, and the bishop's manor-house stood at the north-west corner of the square of the old camp. An eighteenth-century plan represents the old house as a long building with two gables on the south side, and a double-gabled dormer window above the door. This old house was demolished about 1770.
The bishops made most use of the house during the fourteenth century. Bishop Ross lived at Horncastle in 1331, when Rose Castle was an impossible place of residence; and again in the reign of Richard II. the state of the border drove the bishops southwards.
In the sixteenth century Horncastle passed out of the bishop's hands for a time, as it was sold in January 1553 to Edward, Lord Clinton. But it was recovered for the see early in the reign of Mary ; and Bishop Aldridge died at the manor-house of Horncastle in 1555. This seems to be the last evidence that the bishops inhabited it. They granted leases of the house to Queen Elizabeth, and then to James I.; and when Horncastle was the basis of the attack on Bolingbroke Castle before the fight at Winceby, no mention is made of the bishop's house. Although it belonged to the see much later, the house was abandoned as an episcopal residence. (Niemeyer 1911)
A Lincolnshire County Council guide suggests that the Georgian manor house stands on the site of the fourteenth century parsonage house. This medieval building was sometimes occupied by the Bishops of Carlisle, formally the Lords of the manor of Horncastle. (Lincolnshire HER)
Seems a bit out of the way to be a stop over for the bishops travelling from Carlisle to the royal court or parliaments at Westminster although if some of that journey was done via east coast sailing routes and by river it is, perhaps, not so remote. The site occupied by a fine house of c. 1770.

Movies / Music New on Video: Decades of Despair & Decadence in The Decline Of Western Civilization Collection
Posted By Sherilyn Connelly on Mon, Jun 22, 2015 at 4:00 PM
I'm not a big punk rock fan. I like it on a song-by-song basis, and I respect the original punk scene for having birthed the goth aesthetic which informs my sartorial elegance to this day — that is, I look good in black clothing with dark eyeliner — but I've never identified with/as or been inspired by punk in any way. But I've always admired the work of Penelope Spheeris, particularly her Decline of Western Civilization documentary trilogy, and Shout! Factory is releasing the entire series in a Blu-ray box set on June 30.
In Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs, Chuck Klosterman nailed my feelings on the subject:
'I hate punk rock.
Actually, that's not true; I kind of like punk rock, sometimes. What I hate are people who *love* punk rock. There has never been a genre of anything that has made more people confused about what art is capable of doing, and they all refuse to shut up about it.
A few years ago, one of my favorite humans of all time died from bone cancer. A few hours after the funeral, I found myself in a conversation with someone who was as depressed as I was and almost as drunk. But—in order to avoid talking about our friend, probably—we started talking about pop music, and this guy kept saying, "Punk rock saved my life." He said it like four times in ten minutes. "When I was in high school." he insisted, "punk totally saved my life. If not for that music, I wouldn't be here today. Punk rock saved my life, man."
I have heard those exact words said thousands of times by hundreds of people, and none of them are ever joking. They exist in a culture of certainty. They want to believe what they are saying so much. They want to believe that this sentiment is literally true. And all I could do while I listened to this dude tell me how punk rock saved his life was think, Wow. Why did my friend waste all that time going to chemotherapy? I guess we should have just played him a bunch of shitty Black Flag records.'
— Chuck Klosterman, Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs, p. 165
Yep. My annoyance with it these days mostly comes from middle-aged white guys who cling to it as a sign that they haven't lost whatever sense of youthful rebellion they desperately want us to believe they once possessed. And they have an unfortunate tendency to inject it into any discussion of music, just so we know that they're totes punk; for example, last July on my Radio Valencia show Nose Hair Lint Gland, I did a show that was all about Japanese pop culture in anticipation of the upcoming J-POP Summit Festival, with an emphasis on Miku Hatsune. (Hello, people who will only see this because they have Google Alerts for Miku set up! I'm not going to say that her hometown is Tokyo, 'cause I learned my lesson last time.) And, wouldn't you know, on that episode's Facebook page, a middle-aged white guy felt that need to chime in let us know that he prefers J-PUNK to J-POP, because of course he does. And another middle-aged white guy agreed with him "1,000%."
For those who are interested, here's the Miku-heavy episode in question. It's good stuff, if'n I do say so myself as a middle-aged white woman. I'll also say that one of my favorite punk rockers was actually Link Wray, who pretty much invented guitar distortion back in 1958 with "Rumble," and forty years later embraced all that he'd wrought:
All that said, I love Penelope Spheeris's Decline films. Released in 1981, the first film is an in-depth look at the Los Angeles punk scene of 1979/1980, with interviews and performances footage including but not limited to X, a pre-Rollins Black Flag, John Belushi's favorite band Fear, Germs, and others.
My personal favorite, and for years the only one of three that was remotely available, is 1988's The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years, which goes deep into the L.A. metal scene from 1986 to 1988.
In her commentary with London frontman Nadir D'Priest, Ms. Spheeris discuss the lengths fans would go to get a copy of this film after its lone VHS run went out of print; I was one of those fans who bought a bootleg copy on eBay many moons ago, so I'm super-excited to have it all shiny-looking now. The most famous scene from The Metal Years, of course, is the guy from W.A.S.P. being very very very drunk in a pool next to his mother.
Some laugh at the movie, some with; Mrs. Spheeris and Mr. D'Priest are very much in the latter camp, as am I, particularly when it comes to the optimism of the metal kids you've never heard of, though she does point out that "making it" and "being happy" are by no means the same thing.
Hells yeah. Their answer to "What if you don't make it?" is the same as mine, to this very day.
Focusing less on musicians and more on homeless kids and gutterpunks in L.A., and shot after Ms. Spheeris had an unexpected degree of mainstream success with Wayne's World, 1998's The Decline of Western Civilization Part III wasn't released so much as it picked the lock and broke out.
The picture never got a proper theatrical or video release, instead playing festivals and the occasional repertory house. How difficult was it to see, and how little attention did it get at the time? In the included booklet, Shout! Factory quotes extensively from Heather Wisner's contemporaneous SF Weekly review of the picture's weeklong run at the Red Vic. It's a very well-written review from back when the paper actually had standards for such things, but speaking from experience, nothing says "lack of options" quite like quoting from the Weekly.
The whole set is brimming with extras, including a fourth disc with over an hour of cut footage from The Metal Years. Whether punk saved your life or not, it's all good stuff.

This week's Iron Craft theme is Summer. Here is Minnesota one of the things we look most forward to all summer is the State Fair. I don't spend too much time on the midway, but I love the look of the rides silouetted against the sky. For a long time I've thought the lines of a ferris wheel would make a great embroidery piece. This challenge gave me the perfect excuse to try it.
Plus, we are redoing our downstairs bathroom in all black and white which means it will need some new art. I like to decorate with my own pieces as well as those I pick up from other people.
I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Even though it looks like a lot of stitching it really only took me a couple days to finish it. Drawing the pattern took almost as long as stitching it. I'm tempted to paint the chairs with silver fabric paint, but I'm not sure it that will enhance or take away from it. Thoughts?
Later today I'll post the pattern for those who might what to try their hand at it.

I like it as is, but can see the appeal of adding something shiny since I like shiny things. What about a few of strategically placed stitches of shiny embroidery thread instead of paint?
I am big fan of the monochromatics, so if you do decide to paint it I would only do the bottoms and sides of the cars.
Another alternative, which could be very eye catching is to do just one of the cars with paint. Silver on the outside maybe and something super fair like on the inside (like a bright red). The one spot of color could make the entire thing pop.
So cool. I love it. SO should we be posting our challenge today or tomorrow. SOrry I am so confused. It could be the fact that I did not sleep much last night.
I love your embroidery! I have a collection of monochrome on my hall wall, this would make a brilliant addition – thank you for sharing the pattern.
Love the pattern and your stitching is exquisite. Thank you for sharing!
Did I miss the pattern? I would give this a go … and like it as-is. Stunning.

This is the first time the Department of Energy will test the electrical grid's ability to recover from a blackout caused by cyberattacks.
Can the electrical grid bounce back from a blackout caused by hackers?
The Department of Energy wants to find out, so it's launching the first hands-on exercise to test the grid's ability to recover from a blackout caused by cyberattacks, E&E News reports. Its weeklong experiment, dubbed "Liberty Eclipse," will take place starting Nov. 1 on a restricted area off the New York coast called Plum Island.
Experts want to replicate the process of restarting the power grid while addressing an attack on the United States' electric, oil, and natural gas infrastructure. Their goal is to learn how industry might execute its response to a major incident – a sign of the DoE's increasing interest in arming against digital threats to the country's energy system.
Over the course of the test, participants will work to kick-start attack recovery and energize a "blackstart cranking path" by detecting the attack, eliminating the attackers, and getting crank path digital systems up and running, the DoE states in a memo. Previous tests have avoided testing "blackstart" in an effort to stay on track with their other goals.
Your reference to testing with only small scale attacks, against a sandboxed power grid is valid; but the components in that test grid likely are identical to those used in the national grid. That will let DOE gather some useful data - though not providing much certainty as to how the vastly more complicated (and perhaps complex), system will react. Keep in mind: our cyber enemies can't have a better insight into the effects of an all-out cyber-attack on our grid, than we have.
I wonder if they'll let some attacks through purposefully, to see how long it takes to replace components and restore the system. Again, useful; but not very, if we don't stockpile the components ahead of a real attack.
As to the 1940 offensive: the French could only mount limited attacks, due to their commitment (financial, doctrinal, organizational, political and otherwise), to a static defense. That's a lesson for our cyber-security doctrine as a whole: we can't rely on our version of a Maginot Line; we have to be ready to take it to our cyber enemies - and make sure they know we can and will.
Not sure, but think it was also Gamelin who, after the fall of France decried "That's what you get from decades of socialist government." I take that to mean setting priorities in line with an agenda directed toward satisfying domestic political demands, rather than preparations and commitment to meet aggression with aggression.
I am reminded of similar word-ology just before the Gold King Mine spill, of course that was EPA and not DOE, completely different animals :laugh:.
Words spoken by General Gamelin who commanded the French army in 1940 in attacks into Germany before the BIG ONE came in on May 10, 1940. Gamelin just did little tiny probe attacks, meaningless while the Germans stockpiled tanks and aircraft for a modern campaign. The comparison works. Plum Island? I don't think that replicates the complexity of the modern power grid. Should be fun to watch though.


On March 26, Guatemalan and international human rights organizations called on the Guatemalan state to restore the life-saving security measures for the Reynoso Pacheco family.
Nearly four years after the murder of their 16-year old daughter and mining resistance organizer, Topacio Reynoso Pacheco, her family continues to receive threats and acts of intimidation.
Alex Reynoso, Topacio's father and fellow environmental defender, was shot and gravely injured in the same attack that killed Topacio in 2014. One year later, he survived a second armed attack. The Reynoso Pacheco family has joined thousands of other environmental defenders in the region in their opposition to Tahoe Resources' Escobal mine and has been instrumental in promoting the involvement of youth activists in the fight to protect the environment. Those responsible have yet to be apprehended, putting the family at risk as environmental defenders.
Since early 2016, personal security measures were granted to the family by the Guatemalan Minister of the Interior, during which time threats against the family decreased significantly. In August 2017, they were abruptly taken away and since then a number of suspicious incidents have taken place around their home. The family has been targeted multiple times in the past for their role as community leaders and the latest incidents show that they are still at risk of attack.
Forty-six organizations from Guatemala, the United States, Canada and Europe called on the Guatemalan Minister of the Interior to restore the state-provided personal security measures. The state must fulfill its responsibility as a guarantor of the safety of land and human rights defenders at risk for standing up for the wellbeing of their families and communities.
Thank you for responding to the call to stand in solidarity with the Reynoso Pacheco Family and for all Guatemalan environmental defenders who continue to defend their communities and the earth despite the increasing risk of violence. NISGUA will continue to monitor the security situation of the Reynoso Pacheco family and will be reporting as the case advances.

Chicago Fire: Santa Bites (3X10)
At the start of shift, Papa Lullo corners Mills outside 51 and apologizes for his threats. The Mafioso appears sincere and makes Mills feel at ease again, leading him to ask Boden to drop the charges against Lullo. Later, Mills joins Brett on a nearby call – a homeless man writhes in pain after a dump truck ran him over. As they prep him for the ambulance, a nice car pulls into the alley, blocking their way…
Meanwhile, Casey continues to give Dawson the cold shoulder, vehement that she signed up for something she clearly can't handle. The tension spurs Casey to invite Severide out for drinks, which quickly escalates to a slightly drunken affair. Casey wakes up the next morning hungover, on a stranger's couch… and in the presence of an attractive woman. Did he have a one-night stand and not remember it?
Back at 51, Casey hits up Severide for details and learns he passed out on the couch while Severide hooked up with the lady. He lets the evening's events slide, until it comes roaring back: the woman stops by to drop off Casey's phone, which he left at her apartment. Unfortunately, the first person she encounters is Dawson, who afterwards explodes at Casey, livid about how hanging out with Severide brings out the worst in him. He counters with Dawson's inability to respect his dual role as lieutenant and fiancé. Dawson exits in a huff, unappeased.
An apartment fire leads to an intense rescue of a woman trapped in the bathroom and her terrified husband who ditches his wife in order to be saved first. But later, the husband takes credit for the save on a televised interview, a move that frustrates the firehouse. He shows up at 51 to thank the team and come clean about his role in the rescue – and to reveal that he was a burn victim. He shows off the scars to prove it.
Turns out the city wants to condemn the couple's building so Severide and his team head over to approve… except further investigation reveals that the fire ignited from three different places at the same time. This can only mean the husband started the fire, a revelation that ropes in Chicago P.D. and leads to the husband's unsavory exit from his wife's hospital bed.
At the annual Holiday Festival downtown, Molly's II finally makes its world debut, but right as Herrmann gives an interview to his favorite Chicago newscaster, the truck barrels into a nearby nativity scene. Turns out Cruz accidentally unlocked the emergency brake. The fallout from the incident results in Hermann firing the whole Molly's II team. With the food truck's reputation in shambles, Cruz comes up with the idea to donate the vehicle to Chaplain Orlovsky, who's in need of new soup kitchen facilities. Orlovsky welcomes the donation with open arms.
Back at the station, a very pregnant Donna suggests hyphenating their child's last name. Boden refuses, citing tradition. Although she initially allows his stubbornness to slide, Donna later decides to stake her claim as the mother, but gets interrupted – by labor! With the paramedics missing and Dawson dismissed, the squad rushes Donna to Chicago Med. Traffic stalls them and Donna delivers the baby on the fire truck with Severide and Boden by her side. She and Boden celebrate the birth and Donna agrees to let the baby take Boden's surname: Terrence Boden.
Seconds after arriving at Chicago Med, however, Terrence turns blue and a nurse recognizes it as respiratory distress: his lungs aren't absorbing oxygen. Doctors hurry the newborn away in order to save his life…
Casey takes on the task of locating the missing paramedics and tracks down Brett and Mills' ambulance to the alley… but they're not there.
And neither is that nice car.

Tonight's brand new episode brought an electric rescue, a radio contest, and a visit from home.
A call of a crashed car into an electric pole brought Firehouse 37 joining 51 to the rescue. With a lot of live electrical wires covering the ground, the two teams had to work together to make sure no one got electrocuted while they rescued the driver inside. This didn't bode well for one member of Firehouse 37, McBride, who, after trying to restrain one of the wires, was hit in the chest by the wire, knocking her out. This was followed by the transformer on the electric pole exploding as well. This made Severide suspicious that the transformer may be faulty.
Severide and Pelham investigated the scene after the fact, and took the transformer to see what happened to it, and Pelham even realized that from where he was standing, there was no sight line between him and McBride.
The transformer was faulty and the investigating captain commended Severide on his work, and reference Lieutenant Seager wanting to work with him again, which Stella overheard.
McBride was diagnosed with a concussion, and claims that Pelham gave her an order to secure the live wire without the proper equipment, which Pelham denied. This lead to an investigation within 51 as to what happened and to contradict McBride's statement. Stella knows McBride through Girls on Fire, and she felt that she would not lie about this. After bringing it up with Severide, he coldly brushed her aside.
Stella visited McBride at physical therapy, who was incredibly defensive on her stance against Pelham. Boden even talked to the chief at firehouse 37, who also did not take a full stance on the subject. Boden then went to Chief Kilborn, who has a vendetta against Pelham, and accused him of making up the accusations against Pelham. The episode concluded with Boden telling Pelham that the department has recommended that he be fired for this case.
Severide and Stella had yet another fight about her absence, leading Stella wondering if she is the perfect one for him.
After reviving that newborn in the last episode, Violet received an honorary award for resuscitation. While honored, she was a little nervous about it, considering she has a feeling Hawkins has feelings for her. Violet received the note from Hawkins, causing a little bit of jealousy from Gallo. Violet went to Hawkins' office to thank him, and the meeting ended with them deciding that they should probably not see each other as much especially at work.
Tonight, Sylvie was visited by her stepdad, Scott, and her two year old sister Amelia, who were in town. The visit made Sylvie miss Casey, and it truly made me wonder how long they are going to keep up this constant reference to him, before the relationship ends up getting broken off.
Several members in the Firehouse worked together throughout the episode to win a radio contest, where the host gave clues to a "Chicago fugitive," and who ever found them won $10,000. The clues were vague, and Herrmann lead the way to try and find them. When the team was called to help another firehouse clean up a scene, a civilian found the "fugitive," hurting any chances of 51 winning the money.
The show's next big plot is going to be Boden working hard to clear Pelham's name, and keep him at 51, and fighting anyone who gets in his way. I think this will be interesting to see progress, as well as a great study of Boden's determination to fight for his crew.
When it comes to the big relationships of the season (Stella/Severide, Sylvie/Casey, and the love triangle of Gallo/Violet/Hawkins), I feel like this show needs to pump the breaks with all three. I feel like the show needs to focus on one at a time here, because it gets a little convoluted. As much as the fandom has been wanting Sylvie and Casey to be together for years, I think it's time to cut the ties, especially because Jesse Spencer is not returning to the series for the foreseeable future. I think maybe he can cameo where the relationship ends, and Sylvie can move on and build her Paramedicine program. Remember that? That was this season!
I do think that Stella and Severide will find a way to reconcile, as they really are the two big leads of the series, so I don't have as much thoughts on that. However the Gallo/Violet/Hawkins love triangle should find a resolution soon. Part of me feels like Violet will end up with Gallo, because she is way more compatible with him, and she might feel like she would get special treatment if she was also dating Hawkins, which she would not want.
The show is headed in several different ways. I appreciate the balance of storylines, but I do think that so many of them could be trimmed down. I personally did not even care about the radio contest plotline, since it lead to a random civilian winning. It made sense, knowing Herrmann's luck, but we've seen this kind of thing so many times with this show, that it felt a little stale, and I was looking at my phone during those scenes as the team assembled to decipher the clues. I'd much prefer if the show had its regular firefighting business, and then sprinkle in the romance since, you, drama, but sometimes I think we can cool it with the C plots of random stories that aren't fully necessary.
What did you think of tonight's electrifying episode? Leave a comment below!
The episode title says it all: Chicago Fire returned with a bang on tonight's 2022 premiere.
Let's address the elephant in the room: Stella Kidd's return. The winter finale left us with a cliffhanger as Stella returned after being absent for most of the season, so she could grow the Girls on Fire program. The power couple seemed to bury the hatchet, while Stella saying that she wanted to grow the program as much as she could, and she knew she would lose the lead lieutenant job for that case. She assured Severide that she did not cheat on him, but now she's back and wants to be back at 51 to see where this could lead her.
This sentiment is repeated by Boden, who encouraged her to stay focused, regardless of his promoting Pelham to the lead lieutenant on truck.
The big case of the week revolved around a potassium fire in a highway tunnel. A truck containing dozens of propane canisters exploded. causing massive pileup and a fire inside the tunnel. While most of Truck 81 took care of the victims, Ritter had his eyes set on a young police officer, Dillion, who watched a truck driver burn to death. The guy was incredibly shaken up, considering he could have put out the fire, but failed to do so.
Ritter asked Mouch's wife Trudy to look up the young cop, and he had put in his notice without a reason. Dillion left Ritter a note that sounded suicidal, and Ritter rushed to his rescue. The note was in reference to Ritter saving his life, and how he couldn't save the drivers.
After the call, Pelham approached Stella about the lieutenant job, which Stella assured him that he got because he earned it, and previous relationships with her and the rest of the firehouse will affect their job. Boden was told by another chief, Kilborn, that Pelham should not have the job, let alone a permanent residency. This chief has some sort of vendetta against Pelham. and this will escalate as the weeks go by.
It's worth noting that Chief Hawkins became the floater for Violet while Sylvie was off visiting Casey, which is his excuse to try and get closer to her. This was tested when the two were sent to help a mother who had a water birth, and the baby was under the water for too long. The two worked exceptionally well, and saved the baby.
The comedic C plot of the episode surrounded Cruz and a hermit crab. He found the hermit crab in a car inside the highway tunnel that belonged to a kindergarten teacher. When the teacher came by to get it, it was squad member Capp who took the reigns and started dating the teacher. Cruz wanted to help so he could get his baby into this preschool.
It's great to see all of our favorite firefighters and paramedics back on our screens tonight. I think there's a lot to unpack that's going to present itself in the coming weeks: Pelham defending his job, Stella and Severide working out their relationship, and I'm seeing a spark between Ritter and his new police friend Dillion budding. The second half of this season is sure to be a wild one, and a big one for the books.
What did you think of Chicago Fire's first episode of 2022? Leave a comment below.
Chicago Fire returned for its final episode of 2021, for a slightly more mild, heartwarming episode. It is the holidays, after all!
The show did manage to provide us some updates on the season's stories. With Stella still out of town working on expanding Girls on Fire, it has been putting a strain on her relationship with Severide. He frequently calls her throughout the episode, trying to get a hold of her, but to no avail. Boden, needing to fill the permanent truck lieutenant job, wants the job to go to Stella. However, she has used all of her furlough, and it has deeply affected her chances of getting the job. This came to a head when Boden decided to hire Pelham as the new truck lieutenant, and let go of Stella.
Gallo, Ritter, and Violet spend the entire episode preparing the debut of their beer from their microbrewery, at a local fair called Winterfest. Ritter created a new IPA that wowed the crowd, and the debut paid off. Tragically, Ritter never wrote down the recipe, and it threw a wrench into the plan. While they prepared for Winterfest, Gallo admits that he doesn't want to date Kara anymore, and instead wants to be with Violet. Gallo, thinking way too clearly, decided to break up with Kara during Winterfest, revealing that he has feelings for Violet. Kara, obviously not taking it well, gets the firefighters removed from the brewery they were working in.
Sylvie spent the entire episode prepping for her presentation to a board of CFD chiefs to get funding for her ParaMedicine program. Paramedic chief Hawkins, who has been crushing hard on Violet, took advantage to get funding for the program, and impress Violet, but getting patients that were being used for the program to give it rave reviews. The board gave the program full funding, leaving a strong impression on Violet.
It wouldn't be a Christmas episode without some holiday-themed rescues from our favorite firefighters. Sylvie and Violet rescued a man who got an ornament stuck in his throat. Sylvie performed the Heimlich to get it out.
One rescue in the field was an emotional ride for Mouch. A fallen Christmas tree in Park Plaza left a man, Hugh, who dresses as Santa Claus impaled by a branch. After he was taken to the hospital, it left Mouch wondering what goes on with any of his rescues, because he has become so numb to rescuing them, and moving on to the next rescue. He brought a gift to the hospital, where his wife, Sandra, told him he wanted to attend the Boys and Girls Club's Christmas party, but won't be able to go as Santa, even though he will make a full recovery. Mouch took this to the next level, decorated Truck 51, and got toys for the kids and placed Hugh and Sandra all dressed up on the ladder to support the kids. It was a heartwarming way to end the first half of the season.
It wouldn't be a fall finale without a cliffhanger. After giving up hope on getting in touch with Stella, Severide goes home after a long day to find Stella standing in the living room, waiting for him. What this will mean for this couple's engagement will be revealed after the holidays when the show returns in January.
With new couples sprouting up in Firehouse 51, leadership changes, and the return of Stella, there's going to be a lot to look forward to when the show returns.

That has to be alcohol abuse when 462 cases of the 2010 Mollydooker Velvet Glove Shiraz were smashed after a forklift suffered a malfunction that caused a container holding 1/3 of the winemaker's annual production to crash to the ground. This shattered the bottles, crushed the cartons and will result in more than a $1 million loss of the specialty wine.
The wine was valued at $185 Australian dollars - about $190 Canadian dollars. The wine bottles destroyed totaled up to 5, 532. It was hoped to have been the best year ever for the winery so expect that the price has increased due to the rarity.
Insurance was in place and the winery will be reimbursed for the value of the wine. Insurance is in the business of paying claims. Be sure that you have considered what you need to protect your business. Talk to your broker. Take control of your insurance.
