← Human grace

Footy starts tonight, and I'm cherry ripe for it. The pre-season of unsatisfying fake football and rampant speculation finally comes to an end, and there's a general sense of enthusiasm and expectation around town. Around the office, people clump and gather to discuss the footy and contemplate their chances. Everyone's a winner this time of year, and anything is possible, but that can change quickly.
There's likely to be a big crowd tonight of around 90,000 for the season opener, and though it's likely to be an easy win to Richmond, I'll sitting there on my couch glued to it. The big game for me comes tomorrow night.
For the first time, I thought I'd give you the benefit of my wisdom by nominating what I believe will be the top eight at the end of the home and away season. It's a tough gig because you're basing it off last year's form and the sketchy, misleading form shown in the pre-season. Players have come and gone, and switched clubs in the offseason, and how they fit in and what impact they have is no more than speculation right now. Come Monday it'll be much easier because some true form will have been exposed, and most importantly, some idea of intensity and attitude will be revealed.
Anyway, here it is.
I've nominated Richmond for top spot because they're the reigning premiers and it's there's to lose. I don't expect them to go back to back, but if pre-season form is any guide, they'll be mighty competitive at least. The unknown quantity is how their success has impacted on the. They could go the way of the Bulldogs and fall back, or – and I think this is more likely – the confidence gained will take them to a new level. Having said that they'll now be the hunted, and will need to adapt.
Sydney is next because, well, they're Sydney. GWS I've tipped with much less confidence. They have the talent but have been a disappointment. I think Leon Cameron is an average coach who has championed a one-way playing style. I think we'll know quickly how they'll go this year. If they improve their defensive efforts, they'll be a real contender, but last year's effort won't cut it. They're a team who could slide a lot – even out of the eight.
I've tipped my team at fourth, but it's a guess. I think we're the biggest enigma going into the season. Some have tipped us as premiers. Others reckon we'll miss the finals. I think we'll make the eight pretty comfortably, and likely finish somewhere in the 4-6 range – but there's the talent to get on a run and finish top. Recruited really well, and play a dynamic style that can rip teams apart when they're hot. High expectations, and should be an exciting year.
I think Adelaide will slide a little. They were shown up in the Grand Final, and I thought there were other occasions when they were exposed as great front-runners and struggled under pressure. Very skilled and dangerous when they're on, I think they go into the season slightly weaker than they ended last year. They need a plan B.
Port Adelaide are another team who could do anything, but they've got a habit of being frail at the wrong time. Could easily finish top three, but also out of the eight.
Geelong is touted by many by the return of Ablett, but they're an aging team who have lost a few stalwarts over the offseason. They have probably the best midfield group in the comp, but weaker up forward, and with Lonergan and Mackie gone, down back too. They're invincible at home, but it plays against them away, especially at the MCG where the big games are played.
I rate Melbourne and reckon they'll be a powerhouse for years to come (watch out for St Kilda and Brisbane, too). I've put them so low because two of their main players are missing for the first couple of months of the year – the position doesn't reflect their quality. In my book, they're smokies for the flag and will be coming hard come finals time.
Unlucky teams are Bulldogs, St Kilda and maybe Hawthorn – I don't rate Collingwood. I could see St Kilda sneaking in because they're a developing team; the Bulldogs possibly too, though they've gone through some ructions and lost at least one outstanding player. Hawthorn is a bit like the Swans, you don't count them out, and Clarkson is bound to pull a rabbit out of the hat at some point.

"Today was a step in the right direction. San Diegans rejected more walls and more agents, and so did Congress. Looking forward, there is more work to do. Although the budget does not add walls, agents, or officers, it does fund thousands of additional detention beds and surveillance technology at the expense of investments in infrastructure, schools, and hospitals that are needed in the region.

Established in 2009, Cumulus Outdoors offers outdoor adventure programmes for team building, schools, youth & scout groups. Cumulus had a website which was looking a little tired and was swiftly being left behind in the modern responsive world.
Over time, websites can become cluttered with new services being shoe-horned in which weren't catered for from the beginning. Clear colour-coded sections for the services that Cumulus offer was the way forward, making it easy for users and admins alike to manage and browse the website.
We built Cumulus a bespoke WordPress theme which gave them the power to utilise the riches of imagery & video at their disposal. Colour coordinated sections for Schools, Duke of Edinburgh Awards & Adventure activities for the public gives users a clear browsing experience.
For their work with schools, Cumulus wanted several download portals where individual schools could login to their own portal and download school-specific documents in a safe & secure manner. Further portals were also developed for Cumulus staff.
Cumulus's adventure activities receive a lot of fantastic feedback & a reviews mechanism was high up the priority list. We developed a system that would allow Google to crawl & display review schema, giving indexed Cumulus activities pages star ratings, standing out from the crowd.
An image rich, fast website that performs well under speed and usability tests. The website admins at Cumulus have taken to their new CMS like a duck to water, editing & managing all aspects of their website like any good CMS should.
More than 25 schools across the country accessing their specific adventure data, streamlining the process and cutting down a previously time-consuming activity.
Schema enabled ratings & reviews gives Cumulus a stand-out listing in search engines for their services.

Food Tech Media Startup Funding, M&A and Partnerships: September 2014
by Brita Rosenheim
This monthly column highlights the most interesting acquisitions, financings and partnerships within the Food Tech & Media ecosystem – digital content, social, local, mobile, grocery, e-commerce, delivery, ordering, payments, marketing and analytics – to give you insights into the latest funding and growth trends.
Over $800m poured into the food tech ecosystem in September ($517m in eleven equity fundings, and $300m via two acquisitions, with four acquisitions of undisclosed size). As with recent months, there has been a steady increase of later-stage rounds, with close to half of the deals series B or above. The industry has begun to shift, with institutional investors participating more frequently, in larger and later-stage rounds, due to the strongest companies beginning to move beyond simply establishing a scalable model, and pushing further towards expansion and growth.
A noticeable theme, in both the deal activity as well as headlines over the past month, has been centered around the digital grocery experience. From digital coupons and deals, to loyalty and mobile rewards through beacons, to new ordering and delivery formats, there has been a surge in innovation and partnerships aimed at transforming (and further monetizing) the grocery consumer's experience. Even the USPS has gotten in the game by partnering with AmazonFresh, launching a two-year market test of what it calls "Customized Delivery" to deliver groceries between 3 a.m. and 7 a.m in San Francisco. Over the years, many companies attempting to digitize the weekly grocery ritual have come and gone, however as we have seen in wider tech sector, timing is everything. And perhaps the time is now.
SK planet (SK Telecom) Acquires Shopkick. The Redwood City, CA beacon-based loyalty app gives users points, or kicks, for entering a store or scanning a barcode while using the app. The app has 8 million active users along with deals with 20 retailers and 200 brands, including a number of CPG brands such as Procter & Gamble, Mondelez, Unilever, and Pepsi. SK Telecom (South Korea's largest mobile carrier), and its subsidiary SK planet (a multinational mobile platform and shopper rewards program) will use the acquisition to capture a larger piece of the growing U.S. mobile commerce and location-based shopping market.
Announced: 09/27/14 Terms: $200m (cash) Previous Investment: $20.1m Founded: June 2009
Zomato Acquires Gastronauci. In its fourth acquisition in three months, Zomato continued to expand its foothold in the multilingual European market with the acquisition of the Poland-based restaurant discovery website and mobile app, which helps users look for places to dine out or order in from a database of over 26,000 restaurants across Poland. Zomato has been aggressively expanding its global presence through acquisitions over the past two quarters, as the company stated it prefers to "acquire and partner with a dominant local player" rather than competing with them. Zomato and Gastronauci will work on rolling out an integrated product in the coming months.

PAR Technology Acquires Brink Software.

After the transaction, Movile will own 50% of the joint venture, Just Eat will own 25%, and iFood's original founders will own the remaining portion. According to the release, the value of the gross assets of RestauranteWeb as at 30 June 2014 was $2.1m.

With the acquisition, Catalina expects to have the largest pool of load-to-card content, or coupons that are stored to loyalty cards. "For Catalina, it's an omni-channel offering that brings value to retailers, brands and consumers," Todd Morris, president of Catalina's U.S. business, told Progressive Grocer. "It's a robust solution at scale that meets where the consumer is going, is a mobile and online solution for retailers, and gives CPGs the ability to reach the mobile shopper." Cellfire will operate under the Catalina umbrella, retaining its name, all full-time employees and its Silicon Valley headquarters.

As simple as the concept seems, this project is rammed with detail; a balancing act as budget rubbed up against the desire to add something special to the three-bedroom home, while making it more liveable for a couple with two young boys.
The easy part was knocking off the narrow lean-to with its small kitchen, bathroom, dining area and deck, then levelling the site. The clean slate made way for the box insertion which contains the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area. The wall of cabinetry in the living area conceals desks for the boys to do their homework. Sliding doors hide a scullery and laundry. Space is used efficiently in the 65-square-metre addition, which is accessed down steps from the old villa's prescriptive central corridor. From the levelled site, the step across the threshold to the lawn and pool is seamless.
As the project developed, the collaborative approach continued, with the clients driving the board-form, in-situ internal concrete wall. "A significant cost but an awesome feature," says Sutton.
In his ideal world, the clerestory above the wall would be seamless, but structure dictated steel roof supports. But the budget did stretch to include a tongue-and-groove ceiling, with a recessed curtain rail for future use.
The creaky lean-to is long forgotten in this contemporary addition – creating a home that greets all seasons.


Rock climbing in western Canada can be challenging during the heat of summer, but options do exist. For gear climbing, Squamish can't be beat and early starts allow good conditions for long, multi-pitch routes on the west face of the Stawamus Chief. Sport climbing in Squamish is a bit trickier in hot weather as some of the best crags get morning sun and really heat up, which creates greasy conditions well into the afternoon and evening. The best bet for those wishing to clip shiny bolts and pull on small holds is the area around Canmore in the Canadian Rockies. Here, north facing cliffs at high elevations provide very good mid-summer conditions on featured and varied limestone walls. And when it does get too hot, which is rare, this area provides countless distractions as the mountain environment is second to none. Having just finished another three-week visit to this limestone playground, I can vouch for the beauty and quality of the climbing in Canada's Bow Valley.

You can't come to the Canadian Rockies without spotting a variety of wildlife. These are bighorn sheep (with small horns).
Grassi Lakes is a great spot for novice through advanced sport climbing. This is the Golf Course Wall, home to a million pockets.

Finally, the climbing. We spent most of our time at Acephale, a north-facing wall with predominantly hardish routes, but also spent time climbing at Grassi Lakes, Carrot Creek, Lake Louise and Echo Canyon. A few photos from our days out.

Barnet - Not an April Fool
Not everything which happens at the start of the "cruellest month" is an April Fool.
In particular, the assault upon Barnet UNISON is no joke.
A madcap Tory-right administration obsessed with privatisation (and facing the possibility of losing control) is lashing out at its most effective opponents.
The imposition of unworkable, ideologically driven, reductions in trade union "facility time" (as advocated by the failed "Trade Union Reform Campaign" on the wilder reaches of the political right) isn't the half of it.
The employer has focused it's attack upon the leadership of Barnet's vibrant and effective UNISON branch (and it must be shaming for the senior officials who are allowing themselves to be used as political tools in this way).
As of tomorrow, in what may be the last weeks of Tory Barnet, the attack moves up a gear - the response to this attack from our movement also needs to step up.
This is a test we must not fail.

The 1% pay offer to local government workers in England, Wales and Northern Ireland was entirely predictable (as were the modest additional increases on the lowest pay spine points to keep ahead of the minimum wage).
UNISON has to give a clear lead to members to reject this further real terms pay cut if we are to stand a chance of securing the support of our members for the action which is necessary to force a decent pay rise out of the employers.
The run up to the 2011 pensions strike demonstrated the capacity of our Union, acting together, to mobilise members for action. We need similar well-resourced determination if we are serious about ending the pay freeze that has been holding down the living standards of our members for years now.
Breaking the Taboo - the failed war on drugs is an issue for the labour movement
http://www.breakingthetaboo.info/
I was pleased recently to see the excellent film, "Breaking the Taboo" which exposes the comprehensive and total failure of the "war on drugs" declared by Richard Nixon and still being fought in spite of overwhelming evidence of its futility.
The showing of the film (which you can find on YouTube and which I thoroughly recommend, was followed by a panel discussion at Komedia in Brighton, in which Green MP Caroline Lucas reported on the success of an e-petition which will now lead to a debate in Parliament on the entirely sensible proposition that the Government should gather and consider evidence on the effectiveness of the 1971 Misuse of Drugs Act.
The failed policy of prohibition criminalises those with a health problem (addiction), underpins the business model of organised crime and ruins (and ends) lives. Many UNISON members - and other trade unionists - see the devastating social consequences of the continuing failure of a misconceived policy of repression both in our union work and our working lives.
If we are to shift the United Kingdom in the direction of a progressive policy on drugs we need to move the Labour Party in that direction. I suggest that trade union activists watch the film - and reflect upon what we can do in that cause.
Defend UNISON in Carmarthenshire!
It's bad enough when Barnet's madcap Tory right-wing extremists attack our trade union – but it's a disgrace that Labour Carmarthenshire is following suit.
UNISON Cymru/Wales has publicly condemned Carmarthenshire Council's decision to remove the current and long standing trade union facility time secondments.
It appears that the Council are responding to robust criticism from UNISON which – if this local blog is to be believed – would appear to be justified.
Sign the online petition to support UNISON's campaign to force Carmarthenshire to see sense.
Brixton needs a college - not a free school
There being no rest for the wicked, following an early start, I am now on my way home from a meeting to discuss the campaign to save further education on the Brixton site of Lambeth College.
The College management having decided to sell the site (whilst retaining perhaps a third of the site of the site for a continuing presence for further education) there was substantial local opposition to the suggestion that the site would provide (luxury) residential accommodation.
Michael Gove therefore stepped in and the Government have offered to buy the site to accommodate a secondary "free school" with a Catholic ethos, for which there is no demand locally and which is supported neither by the local authority nor the Catholic Church.
As public servants we are used to hearing that there is no money – but Michael Gove found millions (of our cash) to offer to buy some prime inner London real estate in order to play school with taxpayers' cash. If those resources are available then they can be invested in further education for local people in Brixton.
The campaign to defend Lambeth College's Brixton site (formerly the site of Brixton College before the merger which created Lambeth College prior to the incorporation (privatisation) of further education in 1992) has the potential to succeed if it can build the alliances which are there to be built.
The struggle never ends
http://lampag.org/
I was honoured today to be invited to speak to the Annual General Meeting of the Lambeth Pensioners Action Group (LAMPAG) following Dot Gibson, General Secretary of the National Pensioners Convention.
LAMPAG has been organising older people (or - as was persuasively argued today - "retired workers") for thirty five years now - and is an active and effective organisation and a vital part of the local working class movement.
Given that the key struggle of the early years of this Parliament was in defence of occupational pensions, it was a humbling experience to be in a meeting of people who understood that our goal should be an adequate state pension - and that we need to defend the principle of universalism.
I haven't blogged anything about the death of Tony Benn - because I couldn't match what many others have said about one of the greatest inspirations of my lifetime. I was exceptionally pleased to be at a meeting which began expressing respect for Benn and Bob Crow, and to be able to finish my contribution by quoting Benn in relation to the progressive policies of the pensioners' movement.
"It's always the same with progress. First they ignore you. Then they say you're mad. Then they say you're dangerous. Then there's a pause. Then you can't find anyone who ever disagreed with you."
No justice for workers
I have been worried for several years about the way in which the trade unions handle employment tribunal litigation and how we have contributed to the declining utility of the tribunals to defend workers' rights. However, the Coalition Government have excelled themselves in undermining employment tribunals through the introduction of fees payable by claimants last summer.
Official statistics reveal the sheer scale of the weakening of the employment tribunals by the current Government. In employment tribunals, the number of claims received in October to December 2013 was 9,801 – 79% fewer than in the same period of 2012, and 75% fewer than last quarter. This is a phenomenal decline, which is clearly attributable, in large part, to the introduction of tribunal fees.
This represents the undermining of a system year for recompensing workers who are victims of (unlawful) injustice which was already weak and flawed – as a Government survey (which looked into whether tribunal awards were paid) last year found; "Overall, around half (49%) of claimants had been paid in full, and a further 16% had been paid in part. This amounts to 64% of all claimants, and leaves 35% who had not received any money at all." The problem with this is that tribunal awards amount merely to a debt which then has to be enforced.
Individual (or even collective) litigation is rarely likely to be the best way to secure good employee relations for the benefit of workers. However, where workers have no option but to pursue a legal avenue, we ought to have easy access to an effective remedy. Labour's manifesto for the next General Election ought not only to pledge to remove tribunal fees, but also to make tribunal awards directly enforceable.
As the Crow flies...
http://www.unison.org.uk/news/unison-chief-great-shock-at-death-of-rmt-leader-bob-crow
I think that Dave Prentis (in the link above) strikes precisely the right note in acknowledging that the untimely death of Bob Crow, General Secretary of the RMT union, is a loss to our movement as a whole.
In the years before the office successfully clamped down upon the attendance at the annual Trades Union Congress of all members of our National Executive Council I sat through Congress on numerous occasions.
The annual "Parliament of the organised working class" has not been an exciting experience in my time - but the hall awoke when Bob got up to speak. Always.
And the only excitement was often offered by the question of whether other unions (motivated either by politics or jealousy - or both) had managed to bump Bob off the General Council.
Bob Crow was a character in a movement which too often lacks character. Like many socialists I did not agree with him on every question (and feel that the best tribute that the "No2EU" candidates could make would be to abandon their bizarre and ill-advised political project) - however Bob Crow stood out as a trade union leader who was both effective and inspirational.
The RMT faces an enormous challenge in replacing such a towering figure. The movement as a whole will be watching this important choice.
Solidarity in the struggle against low pay
I finished a long day at work today (which had begun with leafleting members about the local government pay dispute) by attending the first hour and a half of a useful meeting, attended by a couple of dozen trade unionists and activists, addressing the need to show solidarity with the fight against low pay.
UNISON - of course - needs to fight for the living wage (and more!) for all our own members. However, we are also part of a wider movement - and solidarity doesn't depend upon which union card a worker holds.
It was good to hear, first of all, from a BECTU activist from the Ritzy Cinema, where the heavily unionised workforce are about to embark upon a ballot for strike action in support of their campaign for the London Living Wage. The Ritzy - in the heart of Brixton - has a clientele which includes many who may be sympathetic to the workers' cause.
The Ritzy's multinational owners are probably as clear as the workers about the potential significance of this dispute for a cinema industry which profits from the super-exploitation of a largely unorganised workforce. This means that trade unionists and Labour Party members in Brixton bear a heavy responsibility to bring solidarity to a struggle brewing (quite literally) on the doorstep of Lambeth Town Hall.
In particular, in the run up to May's local elections, this dispute offers an unparalleled opportunity for those seeking election to Lambeth Council to take the side of the one force which can really address the "cost of living crisis" - trade union organisation. The Ritzy dispute will be a key feature of Lambeth politics from now until the workers win.
The second speaker at the meeting was from the IWGB ("The Independent Workers of Great Britain" - an offshoot of the IWW "Independent Workers of the World" - which now organisers those workers who left UNISON in frustration at the conduct of branch elections in our Senate House branch last year).
Our UNISON branch in Lambeth has -quite rightly - expressed our solidarity with the workers at the University of London who are fighting for equal leave, sick pay and pensions for privatised workers (the same struggle as is being waged by UNISON members in the SOAS Branch). That solidarity is in no way diminished by their decision to leave UNISON - though I stand by the criticism I made this evening of that decision. That the new priority of the IWGB is to secure recognition - when their numbers would clearly enable an approach based upon joining the recognised trade union (UNISON) - illustrates the wrongheadedness of their approach. "Red and Black" trade unionism has no more future than "Red trade unionism" and there are no short cuts in the fight within our movement.
There is no road forward to fight for the fair treatment of all public service workers in this country (including the hundreds of thousands in the private sector) which does not run through UNISON and require that we make from UNISON the fighting and democratic trade union which it has the potential to be. The departure from UNISON of the workers at Senate House was as pleasing to those whose conduct provoked it as was (for example) the departure of good activists in the Greenwich and Bromley local government branches.
I deal regularly with circumstances in which good lay UNISON activists are - at the least - dispirited by what is done "officially" in our name and would (and do) plead with such activists to contact NEC members before abandoning the union we need to transform. Those of us who stick with UNISON in spite of quite disgraceful attacks from reactionary forces within our own trade union are not fools. We grasp the importance of changing our movement - and occasional impatience with those who seek a more convivial environment elsewhere is excusable.
Nevertheless, we must not turn our backs on workers in struggle who have made the (sometimes understandable) mistake of putting themselves outside our ranks as a result of their rage at the unfortunate conduct that sometimes takes place in our name.
It is certainly no good reason to refuse to support the IWGB that it is not an affiliate of the Trades Union Congress (TUC) - when in the comments on this very blog I have myself been taken to task for criticising the minority union for UNISON employees (the Society of Union Executives - SUE) for not being a TUC affiliate.
(Although I am not sure how convivial relations between SUE and the IWGB are - and believe that rumours of a merger are almost certainly misplaced...)
All UNISON activists should show solidarity with the outsourced workers fighting for justice at Senate House under the banner of the IWGB in exactly the same way as we must show solidarity to the UNISON members at SOAS waging the same fight.
What is also clear - and this is something which I think is clearly recognised in an important motion from our National Executive Council (NEC) to National Delegate Conference (NDC) - is that we need to be prepared to change how we organise in order to mobilise the fragmented public service workforce of which the workers who left us at Senate House are clearly part.
That motion is available for amendment on the Conference agenda and is certain to be prioritised for debate.
I trust that regular readers (Sid and Doris Conference-Anorak) can work out what to do with this information...
Justice 4 Cleaners at SOAS - an important dispute for UNISON
http://criticallegalthinking.com/2014/03/03/another-planet-justice-4-cleaners-campaign-struggle-recognition/
The link above is to an excellent interview with three of the UNISON members, employed as cleaners at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) by private contractor ISS, who are striking today and tomorrow as part of their continuing campaign for equality with the conditions of in-house staff.
The story of how those who clean the offices of public service workers with decent sick pay and pensions do not enjoy such conditions themselves is painfully familiar across all the sectors in which UNISON organises.
In local government (for example) our "achievement" of single status was a hollow victory the fruits of which were denied to many (particularly low paid) workers whose jobs were outsourced before any pay and grading review.
The supposed "benefits" of "diversity of service provision" and bringing in "private sector expertise" are all essentially about driving down the pay and conditions of the workforce in a crude attempt to generate a saving at the expense of already low paid workers which can then be shared between the contractor (profits) and the client (budget savings).
It's a poor use of English ever to describe this process as more "efficient" than what came before - it's simply more exploitative. An added benefit for employers from contracting out is that (thanks to the impact of the UK's restrictive trade union legislation - and the compliance of the trade unions with those restrictions) the obstacles in the way of showing solidarity from the rest of the workforce to outsourced workers are considerable.
Contracting out of low paid jobs produces, at the level of the organisation as a whole, a segmented labour market, in which a (relatively) protected "core" workforce enjoy (relatively) greater security and stability, whilst a "peripheral" workforce (working for external contractors or employed through agencies) have far worse and more precarious working lives.
Because it is easier to organise the more stable and secure "core" workforce (where the employer generally recognises unions, has developed procedures etc.) there is a trap for our movement, which we fall into if we prioritise the "core" over the "periphery." In that case we could become the guardians of the (relative) privelige of the more stable and secure sector of the workforce, rather than reaching out to organise the workforce as a whole.
In the long run, such an approach, reinforcing division and inequality, offers no worthwhile future for trade unionism. That's why we need to be organising workers on the precarious periphery of our public services - and helping them to take up the issues which are of concern to them.
The strike today and tomorrow by the SOAS cleaners is an important moment in turning UNISON outward to the workers we need to organise if we are to grow in the twenty first century.
A loss to our movement
I was saddened today to learn the news of the untimely death of UNISON Regional Organiser Stuart Barber.
Stuart, 63, had worked for UNISON (and before that NUPE) for more than 30 years and was the most recent official to have faced the challenge of working with the Lambeth Branch (for many years).
Before I worked with Stuart as "our" Regional official/organiser I was aware of his work - as an effective enthusiast for challenging race discrimination in the employment tribunals, and as a diligent Secretary to lay bodies at Regional level.
Stuart brought to his work decades of experience and a commitment undimmed by the passing years. It was unremarkable to receive emails from Stuart as he worked through cases on a Sunday and his advice (whether or not it was welcomed by members or their local representatives) was founded on experience and intelligence which commanded respect.
I could not say that I always saw eye to eye with Stuart (and would challenge anyone to say that they did!) However, Stuart was someone with whom one could disagree robustly on the basis of mutual respect - and always, in my experience, a solid ally when confronting employers.
Stuart represents a generation of union officials tested in past fires who were able to carry out the impossibly wide-ranging role which we expected twenty years ago. His knowledge of employment law and tribunal representation matched his skill as a negotiator and his commitment to our movement.
Stuart Barber is literally irreplaceable.
Ave atque vale.

The computer hardware and software graphics market will grow in the coming years as applications become visually demanding, and employment opportunities in the field will expand, according to a study released on Tuesday.
Sales of graphics-related computer hardware and software will grow at a consistent rate in the coming years, signaling a change in fortune for a market that slowed down due to global economic struggles and declining hardware sales, according to a study released from Jon Peddie Research.
A growing demand for mobile devices and renewed interest in games and other visually attractive applications will drive growth in sales of computer graphics products, the study said. Graphics technologies are improving, there is increasing use of movie and photo applications, and more engineering firms are simulating products on computers before real deployments.
More companies will hire graphics artists, designers, scientists and programmers in the coming years as more graphics hardware and software are sold, the study said.
"We are seeing new opportunities growing out of more mainstream applications for the Web and consumer applications. The Web is growing as a distribution medium for graphics content, which in turn encourages people to pick up and learn new tools, create content for pleasure, and even look for jobs in the field," the study said.
Sony and Microsoft will release new gaming consoles later this year, which will lead to the development of new games. Top companies are also hiring more employees with graphics expertise. A search on Apple's jobs website showed about 142 graphics-related jobs. Intel has 1,461 openings listed for graphics-related jobs. Top graphics hardware companies like Nvidia and game companies like Electronic Arts are also hiring.
The graphics hardware and software market this year will be worth about $121.5 billion, growing from $115.8 billion in 2012. The overall graphics market will exceed $142 billion by 2016, according to the study. The numbers do not include services and maintenance of graphics products.
The graphics hardware market will be much larger compared to software. Sales of graphics hardware, including gaming consoles, monitors, mobile graphics and components, will total $106.93 billion this year, increasing from $101.79 billion last year. Sales of software, including imaging, video, simulation, CAD/CAM, animation and modeling will be $14.56 billion this year, up from $13.98 billion last year.
Graphics hardware is also used in super computing, in which processors crunch complex science and math applications. The demand for better graphics has also put pressure on companies to upgrade applications and release drivers at a faster pace. Intel last week posted the latest Windows 8.1 beta drivers for its integrated graphics processors in chips.
There is also a push to bring gesture recognition and tracking technology to computing devices, with hand, eye and other body movements being used for commands. Chip maker Advanced Micro Devices has said there will be demand for better graphics on devices like tablets, however Intel and ARM have argued that battery life is more important on mobile devices. Graphics can drain battery life due to its high processing requirements.

About Cohousing
At a community croquet game.
Cohousing is an intentional community of neighbors who live in private homes clustered around shared common spaces, including a large common house. The living units are like any other home, private and with complete facilities. Unique to cohousing, however, is that ownership includes use of relatively large shared spaces: typically a common house with a large kitchen and dining area and other rooms such as laundry, office, workshop, and recreational spaces. Each community chooses the rooms they need.
Shared outdoor space usually includes a central green, parking, walkways, and gardens. Cars are parked around the outside of the community. Neighbors also share resources such as tools, landscaping equipment, coffee grinders, etc.
Members collaboratively plan and manage community facilities and activities but households have independent incomes and privately owned homes. The legal structure is typically a homeowners association, condominium association, or housing cooperative. See this webpage for a more visual representation of cohousing.
What Do They Look Like?
Cohousing communities are individually designed in many styles: free standing houses, attached multiplexes, apartment buildings, and many combinations. Most have a central green, interior walkways, parking along the perimeter, and some windows that overlook the community. This is a gallery of communities across America. Click on each photograph to see a a descriptive caption. In the slide show view, click on each photo to move to the next.
Examples of Cohousing Communities. Roll over the image to see the description.
Marleigh and Trudy at one of our potlucks.
Community activities feature regularly scheduled shared meals, celebrations, meetings, and workdays. Members and guests gather for parties, games, movies, canning tomatoes, water balloon fights — any event a member would like to organize. Cohousing makes it easy to follow common interests, organize child care, run errands for each other, carpool, and find the missing ingredient when cooking dinner.
Community Relationships & Expectations
Communities expect members to participate in the community by:
Cultivating a culture of sharing and caring
Interacting with other community members
Supporting other households with occasional meals for the sick and child care for emergencies
Respecting privacy and personal preference while also encouraging an inclusive community for all members
Taking responsibility for facilities maintenance and social event tasks, and participating in governance teams and membership meetings.
Cohousing communities are child-friendly. Even senior cohousing communities for adults over 50 or 55 normally welcome visiting children. Communities typically include a playground outdoors and a playroom inside the common house. This might also include a tot lot for the toddler stage and other play facilities for adults and children.
The age range is typically from newborns to octogenarians. Households include singles and partners in all their variations.
Decision-making is transparent and participatory; usually based on one of the forms of consensus.
Self-management is central because it empowers residents, builds community, and saves money. While cohousing is not necessarily less expensive, it offers a much richer experience.
Shared Values, Not Ideologies
Cohousing communities typically adopt green approaches to living, and design facilities to be energy efficient. The quality of the foundations and what is inside the walls is considered more important than the latest fashion in kitchens—although members can upgrade their interiors to their own preferences after move-in.
While individual members are active in the community, volunteering in schools, and working on social issues, communities as a whole do not generally adopt positions on social or political issues.
There are many resources on the Cohousing US website if you have general questions about cohousing. We welcome any questions about Bay State Commons.
The Cohousing eMail Discussion List
There is also an email discussion list: Cohousing-L. Discussions include all aspects of cohousing — development, design, move-in, organizing work, community life, conflicts, governance, finances, legal questions, etc. Many cohousing veterans, professional consultants, and those developing new communities participate in the discussion. Questions and requests receive almost immediate response with information unavailable elsewhere. For twenty plus years, Cohousing-L has played an essential role in the growth of cohousing. To subscribe go to Cohousing-L and fill in your name and email address. (Scroll to the bottom of the page.)

Even though retailers are still wary of a repeat of 2008, which saw holiday sales drop for the first time on record, industry projections say that consumers will spend more this year, and that means earlier deals. According to The National Retail Federation, sales will increase 2.3 percent over last year, while retail analysts at IBISWorld are anticipating a 3.6 percent rise. As a result of increased consumer spending, holiday promotions began as far back as July, and could continue through the end of the year. Aggressive Christmas-in-July promotion campaigns were rolled out by Kmart, Sears, Toys 'R' Us, and Target, the latter of which slashed 40 percent off the price of 500 items. Retailers launch early-promotion campaigns to attract repeat business during the holiday shopping season, and also to stretch out the shopping season from July to December instead of November to December.

At the time of its release, Projections became a fixture on the emerging underground FM album-rock radio format, and such enduring tracks as the garagey Kooper-sung rocker "Wake Me, Shake Me," Kalb's epic blues showcase "Two Trains Running," Katz's resonant take on Bob Lind's folk-rock standard "Cheryl's Going Home" and the spacey instrumental "Flute Thing," featuring bassist Kulberg on the title instrument. Sundazed's new vinyl edition of this seminal LP features Projections' rare and unique original mono mix, along with complete original cover art, and is pressed on high-definition vinyl for optimum sound quality.
One of the best--EVER!

(5 out of 5 stars)
"The original Blues Project's only studio album "Projections" is easily one of the best rock albums to come out of the 60's. Though it is very hard to find in it's original form, it can easily be obtained by purchasing the "Anthology" CD that is offered by Amazon.com. Disk 2 of the "Anthology" contains the entire "Projections" album in its original song sequence. The rest of "Anthology" is also well worth your money, since it is loaded with their best material live, plus numerous rarities previously not available. Go there NOW to get a copy of one of the top 10 ablums to come out of the 60's."

"Psychedelic fans, dont be put off by the fact they were called the Blues Project, they didn't play blues all the time. They did in fact make (for 1966) some very advanced psychedelia. This album is worth getting for Steve's Song (track 2) alone. Flute Thing is majestic and if you really want to treat yourself buy The Complete Monterey Festival dvd box and see the very swirly psychedelic live version. I rate this album up there with the best late 60,s stuff. Do yourself a favour and buy the anthology as you will get all of Projections plus great tracks like No Time Like The Right Time, Gentle Dreams and a whole disc of their earlier blues stuff."
ALL THESE TRACKS ARE AVAILABLE ON "ANTHOLOGY"
BOB | LOS ANGELES, CA | 07/22/2006
There's no reason to pay big bucks for this out-of-print CD, as all of the tracks are available on the "Anthology" 2CD... and, in far superior remastered audio quality than on this disc.


They should be here in Las Vegas, the gambling capital of the world. Because that's precisely what they're doing with your money.
Actually it's not even your money.
From a legal perspective, every single penny you deposit at the bank becomes THEIR money. You're nothing more than an unsecured creditor of the bank.
And now that they legally own what used to be your money, the bank can gamble it away on whatever crazy investment fad best serves their interests.
Imagine you were moving and needed to rent a storage facility for a few months to store your stuff.
You rent a U-Haul and move everything into the storage unit.
The way banking works, the second you drive away, the storage company now owns your furniture. Not you.
And as the brand new owners of what used to be your furniture, the storage company can do whatever they want with it.
They can rent out the furniture to another customer, charging steep fees to let a complete stranger sit on your sofa and watch your TV.
Of course, that complete stranger might not treat your furniture all that well. He might even destroy it. No more furniture.
Often the facilities get in on the business together; one storage company will rent your furniture to another company, which rents it to another, and then another.
After a while no one actually knows where your sofa is. But it doesn't matter because the storage companies are all making lots of money, and few people ever really ask.
Eventually their standards drop so low that they stop performing credit checks altogether when someone wants to rent furniture from them.
They'll rent your dining room table to anyone who walks through the door, even if that person has a history of destroying other people's furniture.
After a while, these deadbeat rental customers have destroyed so much of other people's furniture that there's very little remaining.
A lot of the smaller storage companies aren't able to stay in business as a result.
But the big ones… they all get together and go to the government, claiming that they're way too important to go bankrupt.
They demand to be bailed out and tell all the politicians that society would collapse if their businesses failed.
The government listens, and the big storage companies receive a massive taxpayer bailout.
The Federal Furniture Reserve even turns on its manufacturing operation, creating countless sofas, love seats, and dining room sets out of thin air. And they give it all to the big storage companies for free.
The big storage companies are back in business, with top management rewarding themselves with record bonuses.
Funny thing, though, their bad behavior doesn't really change. They still rent out your furniture to other people and provide zero transparency into those specific deals.
And rather than competing to provide the best service for their customers, they get together to fix their prices and bilk the consumer even more.
Hardly a month goes by without a major scandal where some storage company was found engaging in extremely unethical behavior.
One day you decide that you're ready to move in to your new house, so you go down to the storage facility and ask for your furniture back.
Instead, the storage facility treats you like a criminal suspect and gives you a bunch of excuses about why they can't release "their" furniture.
And as soon as you walk out the door they file a report with the government claiming that you've been acting suspiciously because you had the audacity to ask for your own sofa back.
Clearly no rational person would ever trust his/her furniture to such a corrupt and absurd storage industry.
Yet as ridiculous as it sounds, that's pretty much our banking system in a nutshell.
And we trust our life's savings to that system… something far more important than furniture.
The storage industry would never become that rotten because it's still a relatively free market.
If the industry were screwing its customers, a bunch of entrepreneurs would start better, more honest storage companies, driving the bad apples out of business.
That can't really happen in the banking industry because starting a bank is almost impossible– trust me, I've started two of them.
I've had success, but it's been one of the most time consuming, frustrating business ventures in my life.
And not enough people are doing this, so there isn't going to be any serious competition to the mega banks anytime soon.
But there is a positive trend brewing: technology is starting to make banks obsolete.
Any basic retail function of a bank– deposits, loans, foreign exchange, funds transfers, etc. can already be done better, faster, and cheaper outside of the banking system.
You can keep funds in the blockchain, crowdfund a loan, use social networks and mobile apps to change money.
None of this requires a bank.
So, long-term, the banks are finished.
But for now, it makes sense for anyone who truly understands this scam to become your own banker, which you can do simply by holding some physical cash in a safe.
The fewer middlemen you have between you and your money, the safer you are.
And given that interest rates are still hovering near 5,000-year lows, it's not like you're giving up any meaningful interest.
So there's practically no downside in taking this very simple step.

The abandoned 'Model Prison' of Cuba
Built by dictator Gerardo Machado in the Isla de la Juventud, 'Presidio Modelo', the Model Prison was where everyone who went to jail for more than 180 days in Cuba was sent. It opened in 1936 but it's construction began a decade earlier. The prison was a replica of Joliet prison in Illinois. Until today, 'Presidio Modelo' is known as the ideal design of a 'panopticon' prison. The cells are built at the edge of a circular building and a tower in the middle allows the watchmen to observe all cells from the same position while the inmates can't know when they're being watched.
Fidel Castro and his brother Raul were also imprisoned there for perpetrating the attack at Moncada Barracks which started the Cuban Revolution. After Castro's triumph in 1959, Presidio Modelo was used to jail political dissidents, counter-revolutionaries, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, and anyone else considered an enemy of the Socialist Cuban state. By 1961, due to the overcrowded conditions (6,000 to 8,000 political prisoners at one time), it was the site of various riots and hunger strikes.
The prison was closed by the government in 1967. Today Presidio Modelo serves as a museum national monument and is visited by Cubans and foreign tourists.

New easy-to-use COVID-19 pills come with a catch
This image provided by Pfizer in October 2021 shows the company's COVID-19 Paxlovid pills. Newly infected COVID-19 patients have two new treatment options that can be taken at home. But that convenience comes with a catch: The pills have to be taken as soon as possible once symptoms appear. (Pfizer via AP)
Newly infected COVID-19 patients have two new treatment options that can be taken at home.
But that convenience comes with a catch: The pills have to be taken as soon as possible once symptoms appear.
The challenge is getting tested, getting a prescription and starting the pills in a short window.
U.S. regulators authorized Pfizer's pill, Paxlovid, and Merck's molnupiravir last week. In high-risk patients, both were shown to reduce the chances of hospitalization or death from COVID-19, although Pfizer's was much more effective.
A closer look:
WHO SHOULD TAKE THESE PILLS?
The antiviral pills aren't for everyone who gets a positive test. The pills are intended for those with mild or moderate COVID-19 who are more likely to become seriously ill. That includes older people and those with other health conditions like heart disease, cancer or diabetes that make them more vulnerable. Both pills were OK'd for adults while Paxlovid is authorized for children ages 12 and older.
WHO SHOULDN'T TAKE THESE PILLS?
Merck's molnupiravir is not authorized for children because it might interfere with bone growth. It also isn't recommended for pregnant women because of the potential for birth defects. Pfizer's pill isn't recommended for patients with severe kidney or liver problems. It also may not be the best option for some because it may interact with other prescriptions a patient is taking. The antiviral pills aren't authorized for people hospitalized with COVID-19.
6 things to know about Pfizer's anti-COVID pill Paxlovid
WHAT'S THE TREATMENT WINDOW?
The pills have to be started as soon as possible, within five days of the start of symptoms. Cough, headache, fever, the loss of taste or smell and muscle and body aches are among the more common signs. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offers a website to check your symptoms.
Dr. Cameron Wolfe, an infectious disease specialist at Duke University Hospital, advises getting a test as soon as you have symptoms of COVID-19.
"If you wait until you have started to get breathless, you have already to a large extent missed the window where these drugs will be helpful," Wolfe said.
WHERE CAN I GET THE PILLS?
You'll need a prescription first from a doctor or other authorized health worker. The U.S. government is buying the pills from Merck and Pfizer and providing them for free, but supplies will be limited initially. They'll be shipped to states where they will be available at drugstores, community health centers and other places. Treatment lasts five days.
Some pharmacists may be able to administer a quick COVID-19 test and prescribe the pills all in one visit. They already do this in many states for flu or strep throat.
Beware of these 5 early omicron symptoms, study says
WILL THE PILLS WORK FOR THE OMICRON VARIANT?
The pills are expected to be effective against omicron because they don't target the spike protein where most of the variant's worrisome mutations reside. The two pills work in different ways to prevent the virus from reproducing.
ARE THERE OTHER OPTIONS FOR NEW COVID-19 PATIENTS?
Yes, but they aren't as easy to use as a pill: They are given by IV or injection, typically at a hospital or clinic. Three drugs provide virus-fighting antibodies, although laboratory testing suggests the two aren't effective against omicron. British drugmaker GlaxoSmithKline's antibody drug appears to work, and officials say they are working to increase the U.S. supply. The only antiviral drug approved in the U.S., remdesivir, is for people hospitalized with COVID-19.

Dennis Aabo Sorensen has become the world's first amputee with a bionic fingertip. The bionic fingertip connected to the nerves of his upper arm enables him to feel textures in real-time.
Sorensen lost his hand in a firework accident more than 10 years ago. He said the sensations he felt with the electronic fingertip – which was surgically hard-wired to nerves – were almost the same as those he felt with his real hand.
The artificial fingertip was created by scientist Silvestro Micera of the Ecole polytechnique federale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland, and scientists from Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna (SSSA) research institute of Italy.
Electrodes implanted in the nerves of Sorensen's upper arm were connected with an array of sensors in the fingertip. A machine moved it across rough and smooth plastic surfaces. The sensors generated an electrical signal, which was converted into a number of electrical spikes – this was reportedly an imitation of the "language of the nervous system."
Micera and colleagues tested the efficacy of the bionic fingertip for identifying textures on four non-amputees, according to a study published in the journal eLife.
An innovative mechanism called needle microstimulation was used in the process. The mechanism involves using a fine needle to temporarily attach the bionic finger to the participants through an electrode implanted into the median nerve of the upper arm. Motor and sensory stimulation is provided by the median nerve to parts of the forearm and hand.
The four non-amputees were able to distinguish between the two surfaces with almost 77% accuracy. The ability to use non-amputees for test the technology is significant because it means that further development of the technology won't necessarily require amputees as test subjects.
This technology may have other applications aside from prosthetics as well. Says SSSA's Calogero Oddo, "It will also be translated to other applications such as artificial touch in robotics for surgery, rescue, and manufacturing,"
"The promising results obtained with microstimulation in four intact subjects, combined with robust translational indications from the hybrid model and an excellent outcome from one amputee, prompt the idea that neuromorphic stimulation could be a natural and effective tool for eliciting texture discrimination abilities via hand prostheses."

Eric Cantona is back at Manchester United for Soccer Aid 2018 and he made a joke about THAT kung-fu kick
Cantona infamously launched into a Kung-Fu kick on Crystal Palace fan Matthew Simmons
Chris Slater
Manchester United hero Eric Cantona announced his return to Old Trafford tonight by cracking a joke about his most controversial moment.
The Frenchman became an icon amongst Reds' fans during a glittering five year-career in which he won four Premier League titles and two FA Cups.
Follow our live blog of Soccer Aid 2018
The 52 year-old Frenchman is making a special appearance back at his former hunting ground tonight in both a management and playing capacity for the Soccer Aid charity game.
And he was quick to remind them all about his rebellious streak by making a gag about the moment for which he is most often remembered.
Eric Cantona kicks out at a fan
Cantona infamously launched into a Kung-Fu kick on Crystal Palace fan Matthew Simmons moments after being sent-off in a match at Selhurst Park in 1995.
On ITV's coverage presenter Kirsty Gallacher interviewed him before the match and said: "Now we've seen Jose Mourinho run onto the pitch to actually tackle players before (referring to an incident during the 2016 game).
If it's not going all your way will you look to take matters into your own hands? Get involved maybe?"
And he replied: "I did much better than that, I jumped into the stand to kick a hooligan."
"We remember that, yes, so if it gets out of hand you could probably get involved here?" Kirsty said.

"Yes of course" he replied.
Cantona was banned from football for nine months and was also sentenced to community service for assault.
For those who have come especially to see him, he also confirmed he was likely to lace his boots up at some point tonight.
"If they need me, I will be there, as always" he said on his chances of making an appearance during the 90 minutes.

Amanda Stanton Is Returning to 'Bachelor in Paradise' for Season 4!
By Evan Real
She's ready for another round! Amanda Stanton is returning to Bachelor in Paradise for season 4 of the reality show, multiple sources exclusively tell Us Weekly.
Amanda Stanton ABC
Stanton, 27, previously starred on season 3 of Bachelor in Paradise last year, where she met and fell in love with Josh Murray. The pair got engaged on the season finale of the hit ABC series. However, they split in December 2016, but reunited several times since.
Biggest 'Bachelor' and 'Bachelorette' Villains
Another source tells Us that Murray, 32 — who ended his engagement to former Bachelorette Andi Dorfman in January 2015 — will not be returning to Bachelor in Paradise this season.
'Bachelor' and 'Bachelorette' Engagement Rings Through the Years
Stanton opened up to Us Weekly about her complicated relationship with Murray earlier this month. According to the aesthetician, the magic of Bachelor in Paradise faded away once the pair returned to the U.S. and the cameras stopped rolling.
How Long Did Other Bachelor Nation Couples Last After the Finale?
"When we were on the show, it felt like I had met the love of my life," she told Us. "It's really hard, I think, to move on from that. I think we're both having a hard time moving on."
The single mom of two, who also competed for Ben Higgins' heart on season 20 of The Bachelor, said she realized that her relationship with the former athlete didn't seem the same off-camera. "There's a lot of things and situations in the real world you don't experience while you're there [in Paradise]," she added.
