Reshaping Noncompetes in Washington
Lawrence R. Cock, Jack Lovejoy, and Benjamin Byers
This article originally appeared in the September issue of NWLawyer, published by the Washington State Bar Association (WSBA), and is reprinted with the permission of the WSBA.
With the passage of Engrossed Substitute House Bill 1450 (ESHB 1450), signed by Gov. Jay Inslee on May 8, 2019, the Washington Legislature dramatically reshaped the landscape of Washington's noncompetition law. This article introduces ESHB 1450, identifies ways in which it will change the common law, and discusses its purposes and goals.
APPROACHING DEADLINE: JAN. 1, 2020
Although the new law will take effect on Jan. 1, 2020, parts of the law will apply to noncompete agreements signed before the effective date. ESHB 1450, Section 13. An employer whose current agreement does not satisfy the new standards applicable to noncompetition agreements must either persuade employees to sign new agreements, accompanied by new and independent consideration,[1] before Jan. 1, 2020, or risk possible litigation in which the covenant is declared void and the employer is ordered to pay a statutory penalty and attorney fees.
TOO MANY, TOO LONG, TOO BROAD
In the past few years, several state legislatures have addressed noncompetition and other restrictive covenants.[2] Legislative interest has been sparked by studies and articles that point out there are too many noncompetes, they are too long, and they are frequently overbroad.[3] Many covenants are so broad that they prevent an employee from taking any position at a competitor, even one wholly unrelated to the scope of current employment (that is, they prohibit working in the industry, rather than restricting certain activities or focusing on a particular scope of prohibited activity).[4]
At a time when more workers are eager to exercise greater job mobility, noncompetition covenants have become increasingly widespread (affecting an estimated 30 million workers nationwide).[5] Often, workers appear unaware of what they've agreed to, and 37 percent of workers are presented with the agreement only after accepting the job.[6]
Washington's legislative process had additional catalysts. Organized labor supported reform as a result of a "no-hire" provision in an asset purchase agreement between grocers Haggen and Safeway. Upon Haggen's bankruptcy, the no-hire provision resulted in grocery store workers being both unemployed and unable to secure employment at any Safeway. Separately, Attorney General Bob Ferguson has taken action against fast food franchisors using "no-poach" clauses,[7] which prohibit a franchisee from hiring a person who works at a company store or another franchise store. The lobbying arm of the Washington Employment Lawyers Association also prioritized noncompete reform on its agenda.
Another catalyst was a slow but steady judicial trend in noncompete litigation away from relying on policies that prohibit restraints of trade and toward placing greater emphasis on contract law. Washington common law is well settled that noncompetition covenants should be evaluated differently from other contracts; courts should balance the employer's need for protection against general societal interest in prohibiting restraints of trade. One early example is the 1911 case involving a piano teacher, Columbia College v. Tunberg.[8] The court ultimately decided that Tunberg could not be prohibited from giving piano lessons in Seattle, but should be restrained from soliciting Columbia College of Music pupils. The court's restructured restraint was narrow.
Compare that result to Emerick v. Cardiac Study Center 100 years later,[9] which involved a physician's noncompetition covenant. The contract duration was five years; the court revised it to four. The original geographic restriction was Pierce County or Federal Way; the court revised it to two miles from the original place of employment. There was no consideration of a lesser type of restraint, such as nonsolicitation or nonacceptance of business, which could have adequately protected the employer. Rather, the court rewrote and enforced a narrowed noncompetition covenant and then went on to award the former employer attorneys' fees exceeding $200,000 under a contractual prevailing party attorney fee clause.[10]
The judiciary's increasing emphasis on the law of contracts and lessening discussion of restraint of trade principles explains the Legislature's findings in Section 1 of ESHB 1450: "The legislature finds that workforce mobility is important to economic growth and development. Further, the legislature finds that agreements limiting competition or hiring may be contracts of adhesion that may be unreasonable."
What's more, the Legislature announced that its reforms should not be walked back or minimized: "This chapter is an exercise of the state's policy power and shall be construed liberally for the accomplishment of its purposes." Section 12.
THE EXPANSIVELY DEFINED 'NONCOMPETITION COVENANT'
"Noncompetition covenant" is defined in Section 2(4), which states that it "includes every written or oral covenant, agreement, or contract by which an employee or independent contractor is prohibited or restrained from engaging in a lawful profession, trade, or business of any kind."
This definition is borrowed from California Bus. and Prof. Code § 16600, which provides extensive protection to employees: "Except as provided in this chapter, every contract by which anyone is restrained from engaging in a lawful profession, trade, or business of any kind is to that extent void." The use of language from California's statute, together with the liberal construction requirement in Section 12, demonstrates that the Washington Legislature intended to encompass more, rather than fewer, covenants and types of covenants.
The Legislature carved out five circumstances that are not "noncompetition covenants" even though each of them may restrain another person from engaging to some extent in a lawful profession, business, or trade:
A nonsolicitation agreement (as defined in Section 2(5));
A confidentiality agreement (not defined);
A covenant prohibiting use or disclosure of trade secrets or inventions;
A covenant entered into by a person purchasing or selling the goodwill of a business or otherwise acquiring or disposing of an ownership interest; and
A covenant entered into by a franchisee when the franchise sale complies with RCW 19.100.020(1). (This provision must be read in conjunction with Section 7, which prohibits "no-poach" and "no-hire" clauses with respect to franchises.)
The new law defines these five circumstances narrowly, while the definition of "noncompetition covenant" is broad. Thus, the statute covers a range of covenants, not just those that have traditionally been considered "noncompetition" covenants.
NONCOMPETITION COVENANTS ARE VOID FOR WORKERS EARNING LESS THAN $100,000
The new law's most substantial reform protects workers earning $100,000 or less annually. If a worker's W-2 form, Box 1, earnings for the preceding calendar year are $100,000 or less and the worker signed a noncompetition covenant, the covenant is void and unenforceable. Section 3(b). W-2 form, Box 1, earnings are less than Medicare earnings (Box 3) and do not include traditional retirement deferrals (but do include Roth retirement contributions). The $100,000 will be adjusted for inflation each September and the new amount will take effect the following Jan. 1. Section 5.
A promise to pay a monetary benefit in the future might constitute consideration, but a noncompetition covenant will nevertheless be unenforceable if the previous year's earnings did not exceed $100,000. Additionally, the $100,000 must be paid by the "party seeking enforcement," which is defined in section 2(6): "'Party seeking enforcement' means the named plaintiff or claimant in a proceeding to enforce a noncompetition covenant or the defendant in an action for declaratory relief."
Thus, an entity in a highly structured business (for example, one seeking to reduce or avoid taxation by establishing distinct operating and holding companies) will be unable to enforce a noncompetition covenant against an employee whose wages were paid by a separate, related entity.
The earnings threshold for independent contractors is $250,000. Section 4(1). An employer who might see tax or liability advantages in classifying a worker as an independent contractor will have to consider the disadvantage of this higher earnings threshold. Additionally, the new law does not restrict its application to natural persons. In other words, the earning threshold applies equally to a noncompetition covenant signed by an entity.
Importantly, the new law does not provide a safe harbor for noncompetition covenants when the earnings threshold is met. (In fact, the law does not expressly authorize or approve any restrictive covenant.) All noncompetition covenants must satisfy the other standards enunciated in the statute. Covenants must also pass muster under the common law, which may continue to change. The new statute provides: "Except as provided in this chapter, this chapter does not revoke, modify, or impede the development of the common law."[11] Section 10(2). [Emphasis added.] The Legislature thus invites the judiciary to reshape restrictive covenant law while providing the judiciary with two new, overarching principles as guidance: Workforce mobility is important to economic growth, and restrictive covenant agreements may be contracts of adhesion and unenforceable. Section 1.
PROTECTIONS APPLICABLE REGARDLESS OF EARNINGS THRESHOLD
Not all aspects of the new law differ based on income. Many provisions apply equally to any worker, regardless of salary. Some of these are discussed below.
Advance notice.An employer must notify a prospective employee in writing about "the terms of the covenant … no later than the time of the acceptance of the offer of employment." A separate notice requirement applies when the worker makes less than the threshold at the time of signing, but the employer nevertheless has him/her sign a noncompetition covenant because the worker might ultimately exceed the threshold. Under that circumstance, the employer must "specifically disclose that the agreement may be enforceable against the employee in the future." Section 3(1)(a)(i).
Midstream covenants must have independent consideration.As under common law, a midstream noncompetition covenant must be supported by independent consideration. Section 3(1)(a)(ii).
Eighteen-month cap on duration.Rejecting existing common law holdings,[12] the new law establishes a presumption that noncompetition covenants exceeding 18 months are unreasonable. Section 3(2). This provision should void contractual tolling clauses and eliminate equitable tolling.[13] Still, the law allows an employer to rebut the durational presumption with clear and convincing evidence proving that a longer duration is necessary to protect the ex-employer's business or goodwill. The new law also includes a specific provision protecting performers from covenants lasting longer than three days. Section 4(2).
A noncompetition agreement is unenforceable against an employee if that employee "is terminated as the result of a layoff, unless enforcement of the noncompetition covenant includes compensation equivalent to the employee's base salary at the time of termination for the period of enforcement minus compensation earned through subsequent employment during the period of enforcement." Section 3(1)(c).
THE RESHAPED RULE OF REASONABLENESS
In Wood v. May, the Washington Supreme Court adopted the rule of reasonableness, described as "a new and different rule that a contract in restraint of trade will be enforced to the extent it is reasonable and lawful."[14] Still, the well-recognized problem with the rule of reasonableness is that "even to the well-meaning draftsman, there is less need to be careful."[15]
A comment to Restatement (Second) of Contracts § 184 (1981) states that courts:
will not aid a party who has taken advantage of his dominant bargaining power to extract from the other party a promise that is clearly so broad as to offend public policy by redrafting the agreement so as to make a part of the promise enforceable. The fact that the term is contained in a standard form supplied by the dominant party argues against aiding him in this request.[16]
But no Washington court has cited the comment, and only a few other courts have.[17] One federal court, applying Washington law, declined to rewrite an overly broad covenant, finding "it would result in an injustice" to the ex-employee.[18] Still, lawyers frequently drafted broader and broader covenants and courts rewrote and rewrote them to make them reasonable, rather than striking them.
ESHB 1450 substantially reshapes the rule of reasonableness, but not by curtailing judicial power to rewrite covenants or by simply declaring some covenants to be void. Rather, the Legislature imposed a $5,000 statutory penalty and required ex-employers to pay the ex-employee's attorney fees under two circumstances. First, the penalty and attorney fee provision applies if the court or an arbitrator determines that the noncompetition covenant violates the new law. Section 9(2). Second, if the court or arbitrator reforms, rewrites, modifies, or only partially enforces any noncompetition covenant, the ex-employee is entitled to the statutory penalty and attorney fees. Section 9(3).
The message to drafters is unmistakable: draft covenants with limited durations, confined geography, and a narrow scope of prohibited activity, or your client may be on the hook for a penalty and an attorney fee award. These provisions legislatively overrule the attorney fee holding in Emerick.[19] Given Section 9(2)-(3), the judiciary may take another look at comment b of the Restatement (Second of Contracts § 184 and consider applying it to all restrictive covenants. It is settled Washington law that the employer has the burden of proving that the covenant is reasonable and that "the equities are in his or her favor."[20] Judicial adoption of comment b to section 184 seems like a logical next step.
THREE OTHER PROVISIONS GIVE THE NEW LAW MAXIMUM EFFECT
Retroactivity. The Legislature decided to apply the new law to all legal proceedings initiated after the effective date, Jan. 1, 2020. Section 11. While limiting the application of the new statutory framework to actions commenced after the effective date, the new limitations on noncompete agreements are effective to all challenged agreements going forward— regardless of when such an agreement was entered—which is why the Legislature stated it was exercising the police power.[21] The sole exception to retroactivity is Section 9(4), which does not allow an ex-employee to bring a cause of action for a noncompetition covenant that was signed before Jan. 1, 2020 if it "is not being enforced."
Venue and choice of law protections.The Legislature protected "Washington-based" workers from noncompetition covenants that require adjudication outside of Washington or deprive a person of the new law's "protections or benefits." Section 6. The phrase "Washington-based" comes from Bostain v. Food Express, Inc.[22] Other state legislatures have enacted similar protections for residents or workers in their states.[23] Employers must heed the choice of law directives imposed by the Legislature.[24]
Displacement of conflicting legal principles.The Legislature wanted clarity and fewer legal disputes between ex-employers and ex-employees. Thus, it included a provision that displaces conflicting legal theories: "this chapter displaces conflicting tort, restitutionary, contract, and others laws of this state pertaining to liability for competition by employees or independent contractors with their employers or principals, as appropriate." Section 10. This language is reminiscent of the Trade Secrets Act's displacement provision contained in RCW 19.108.900, but it is broader. The new law displaces conflicting contract principles, but claims under the Trade Secrets Act are unaffected by the new law. Section 10(1)(b).
PROTECTION FOR WORKERS WITH SECOND JOBS
ESHB 1450 also offers a new protection for workers earning less than twice the applicable state minimum wage. Employers are prohibited from restricting, restraining or prohibiting such workers from "having an additional job, supplementing their income by working for another employer, working as an independent contractor, or being self-employed." Section 8(1). Section 8(2) limits this protection to some degree if the employee's position raises "issues of safety" or the second job interferes "with the reasonable and normal scheduling expectations of the employer." Section 8(2)(b) further limits the protection by stating that Section 8 does not alter the common law duty of loyalty or laws preventing conflicts of interest.
The Washington Legislature's dramatic reshaping of noncompetition covenant law may become a wellspring of inspiration for Washington's judiciary. The new law represents a fundamental reversal of common law and noisy rejection of restraints on worker mobility. The Legislature's mandate is a warning to covenant drafters that the formerly free redrafting services by the judiciary now carry a hefty price tag. More changes are likely to come, as the Legislature has invited the judiciary to revisit and further reform restrictive covenant common law.

Review: Strider (2014)
Yet another in a long line of modern re-hashes on cult favorites, I went into Strider with a bit more optimism than than other titles to date. Aside from spruced up graphics the game appeared to be faithful to the arcade original, which my retrospective and the podcast last week contested is the best iteration of the series. Couple that with the development being handled by Double Helix – a very popular developer with success not only in Killer Instinct 3, but also was purchased by Amazon for an unannounced project – and the open map MetroidVania game design, things were shaping up to success. Having completed the game, I must admit that just like the anomaly of the original, Strider is a melting pot of prior series staples that gets it right from start to finish.
The scale of the overall world is massive and can be stunning.
If you sit still too long in the original arcade game, you will die. Best laid plans are to push forward (ie: to the right) and just attack anything in your path while trying not to fall off a ledge. In the new game that theme is aggressively applied with herds of enemies so thick they will literally be a blocking point for you at times in the game. As a member of the Strider clan, Hiryu is able to cut down most adversaries with the greatest of ease and the balance between enemy hit points and his acrobatic abilities result in a fast paced romp. I never had down time in Strider and felt like a masterful ninja with frantic but controlled moves as I navigated the game's massive map. While I can concede to the basic MetroidVania label, I would say the game more closely resembles Rondo of Blood rather than the hybrid genre. Even when you have a full moves list at your disposal these hiding places are more off the beaten path rather than the wide open areas you uncover in other titles of the genre. What results is a game that is more linear than anything else, and despite it being a huge map the development team broke it up into different areas complete with a boss battle and new weapon at the core, so basically it's just like having levels that you can return to. Strider is no stranger to this method of map design, the original NES title was quite similar and a small following prefer it to the traditional "run to the right" design of the arcade title. In the end I grew tired of looking too hard for too much because I was having such a blast following the marker to the next step of the main mission that I played it exactly like a linear game.
Two bosses on opposing sides are no problem for Hiryu.
You will get many weapons and abilities and the pacing is a great way to teach you how to utilize and master each moveset before adding another. While it probably would look hokey in real life, across the course of the game you go from being a basic jump and slash ninja to a masterful warrior that confidently charges into anything in his path. While I feel the different plasmas were a foolish way to gate off areas throughout the campaign, there's no denying the cool nature of them. With each new plasma comes a new ability for your throwing weapon, the Kunai, that allows the 5-item spread shot to either bounce off walls, set explosives, or even freeze enemies, and assists in maximizing your options for dispatching the little guys that stand in your way. When it comes to the bosses, however, you will instead be using Cypher techniques to deal the biggest bang for your buck. These special moves cross the screen and deliver massive amounts of damage, which can be used against basic enemies but the recharge rate is slowed to the point that I never found myself doing it throughout the campaign whereas some bosses cannot even be hurt unless you unleash the technique. I have to say that boss battles were quite hit or miss. Some wanted you to utilize a bombardment of blind attacks while avoiding getting hit while others wanted you to learn pattern and techniques that weren't referenced at all – thankfully someone in QA must have noticed this because a prompt will show on the screen telling you how to overcome them if you're not getting it. Strider's past in the Marvel vs. Capcom franchise definitely assisted both the gameplay and art department in how he has been customized and frankly I think the game is better for it.
Look like anyone you remember?
There is still no denying the fact that Strider was utilized for this game in hopes that nostalgia will garner interest, which is best proved by the fact that I think this style of game has better examples like 2009's Shadow Complex or even 2012's Dust: An Elysian Tail. If you're familiar with the original in the least you will recognize the familiar setting in a socialist Eastern European land, cold mechanical cyberpunk aesthetic, and great new renderings of familiar faces. It almost seems as if the Double Helix design team sat in a room with a list of things they loved about the other three games (we don't recognize Strider Returns as cannon at this site) and in the end walked away with all of them still on the list. I can't tell you how new but also similar the game looks and feels in comparison to the original, which is now almost 25 years old, but yet how fun it all is. I describe the dichotomy of the original being both empowering and brutally difficult and how that was somehow fun back then and now the dichotomy of how this title is both a recycling of the old game and an integration of emerging contemporary genres – it's not supposed to work, but yet it does. You will enjoy this game whether you're familiar with Strider or not, but to have played the original, especially recently, enhances your enjoyment. I still think it's a shame that the PSN release of Strider 2 from the original Playstation (which included the original arcade game as well) doesn't seem to be happening because that would couple this release perfectly.
On paper Strider isn't doing anything new in the least and the combining of old concepts with a new reboot really reeks of a cash grab. To my surprise this title feels like anything but, with enough care given to the look and feel that it's really just a faithful recreation of the original (sans difficulty curve, thank God). As I try to get hung up on or nitpick the faults there just aren't enough and to a degree that it really matters. At $15 the 4-6 hour campaign, which probably doubles if you find everything, is just a ton of fun. The variety, scale, and clean coding makes for an experience that just works and sets no lofty expectations. I kind of wish more games came in a package like this because it's the perfect package for anyone and appeals to everyone.
Final Score: 4/5 (Review Guidelines can be found here)
Strider was provided by the publisher via review code on the Playstation 4. It is available for $14.99 on the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, PC, Playstation 4, and Xbox One.

The present volume requires but few words of introduction; but it may be interesting to put on record a few details as to its origin.
On the occasion of Mr. B. V. Head's retirement (june 30, 1906) from the Keepership of Coins in the British Museum, it was felt that some unofficial recognition should be made of the great services rendered by him to the study of numismatics during a period of more than forty years. The suggestion was warmly welcomed, and a committee, consisting of Sir John Evans, Sir Henry Howorth, Messrs. H. A. Grueber, Warwick Wroth, and G. F. Hill, was formed with a View to issuing a volume of numismatic essays, to which contributions should be invited from a number of scholars versed especially in those questions on which Mr. Head's own researches have thrown light. An appeal for subscriptions to defray the cost of the publication was circulated, and met with a most generous response from numismatists and personal friends in all parts of the world. The invitation to contribute articles was also accepted by nearly all those scholars who received it, although the names of one or two, who were prevented by the pressure of their engagements from complying, are unfortunately absent.

La stazione di Zappulla è una stazione intermedia della linea ferroviaria Palermo-Messina.

Storia
Venne costruita come stazione passante in superficie sul vecchio tracciato della linea ferroviaria Palermo-Messina realizzato in ritardo rispetto al programma di costruzioni ferroviarie in Sicilia che, iniziato dalla Società Vittorio Emanuele, dovette essere completato prima dalla Società italiana per le strade ferrate meridionali dal 1872 e finito, dal 1885 in poi, dalla Società per le strade ferrate della Sicilia. La stazione entrò in servizio il 16 giugno 1895 unitamente al tronco Capo d'Orlando-Naso-Tusa della linea Messina-Palermo ed inizialmente era provvista solamente di telegrafo. Il nome di Zappulla deriva dall'omonimo fiume che scorre nei pressi della stazione.

Verso la fine degli anni novanta fu chiuso lo scalo merci e relativi servizi. L'8 maggio 2005 il IV binario di circolazione è stato trasformato in binario tronco .

Strutture e impianti
La stazione di Zappulla è situata al km 132+722 del tracciato della linea Palermo-Messina, nell'omonima frazione del Comune di Torrenova ed a meno di 1 km da Rocca di Capri Leone. Il fabbricato viaggiatori è su due livelli, di cui al secondo piano vi è l'alloggio del capostazione, e non presenta elementi architettonici di rilievo. La stazione possiede arredi standard: un'obliteratrice ed una bacheca con tabella oraria. La stazione è gestita in telecomando dal DCO nell'impianto di Palermo Centrale. Il fascio binari comprende complessivamente cinque binari di cui tre di circolazione e due tronchi per i mezzi di servizio.

Movimento
La stazione è utilizzata esclusivamente a servizio regionale, con treni a corta percorrenza. In base alla tabella oraria ferroviaria estiva 2011, in essa fermano 22 treni regionali (fra feriali e festivi).

Servizi
La stazione è fornita di parcheggio, videosorveglianza e annunci sonori di arrivo e partenza treni.
Per quello che riguarda la categorizzazione delle stazioni, RFI la considera di categoria bronze.

Q: Use an array of pointers to structs, or just an array of structs? I'm working on a FFT algorithm in C for a microcontroller, and am having trouble deciding on whether to have the real and imaginary parts of the input data stored in just an array of structs, or use pointers to array of structs.  I'm facing the conflicting requirements that that the code has to run in a tiny amount of memory, and yet also be as fast as possible.  I believe the array of pointers to structs will have a somewhat larger memory overhead, but there's a line in my code basically like the following:
for (uint8_t i = 0; i < RECORD_SIZE; i++)
{
    uint8_t decimateValue = fft_decimate(i);
    fftData[i]->realPart = fftTempData[decimateValue]->realPart;
    fftData[i]->imPart = fftTempData[decimateValue]->imPart;
}

I'm thinking that if I use an array of pointers to structs as in the above example that the compiled code will be faster as it is just reshuffling the pointers, rather than actually copying all the data between the two data structures as an array-of-structures implementation would.  I'm willing to sacrifice some extra memory if the above section of code runs as fast as possible.  Thanks for any advice.

A: Every time you access data through an array of pointers, you have two memory accesses.  This often comes with a pipeline stall, even on microcontrollers (unless it's a really small microcontroller with no pipeline).
Then you have to consider the size of the data.  How big is a pointer?  2 bytes?  4 bytes?  How big are the structs?  4 bytes?  8 bytes?
If the struct is twice as big as a pointer, shuffling the data will be half as expensive with pointers.  However, reading or modifying the data in any other way will be more expensive.  So it depends on what your program does.  If you spend a lot of time reading the data and only a little time shuffling it, optimize for reading the data.  Other people have it right -- profile.  Make sure to profile on your microcontroller, not on your workstation.

A: If your structs are very small, it will actually be faster to have an array of structs and shuffle them around. If your structs are large, this specific action will be faster if you are only shuffling around pointers.
Wait a minute... on second glance, it appears in your code that you are not shuffling around pointers, but you are accessing fields of the structs that those pointers reference; in effect you are still shuffling the structs themselves, not the pointers. This is going to be slower than moving pointers and also slower than just moving structs since it has to dereference the pointers and then still move the struct anyway.

A: You're right. The array of pointers will be faster, but there will be an overhead in memory usage. If have memory to use the pointers, use them.

A: First: It depends. Profile.
Cache locality is going to reign here. I expect the structs to be very small (representing complex numbers?). In FFT I'd expect a lot more gain from storing the real and imaginary parts in separate arrays.
You could then split the load between CPU cores.
If it is about larger chunks (say 1024 sample blocks), I strongly suspect that shuffling pointers is way more efficient. It will also allow you to - much more easily - work on the same (readonly) data from several threads. Moving memory around is a certain way to invalidate a lot of iterators, and usually you want tasks (i.e. threads) to work on a subrange of your data, i.e.: all they have is an iterator subrange.

Drilon: Economic issues must take center stage in 2016 elections
Senate President Franklin M. Drilon today warned of a possible reversal of the country's impressive economic growth if the people elect the wrong leaders in the upcoming May 2016 polls.
Drilon made the statement as he urged the voters to make the sustainability of the economy a major issue in the upcoming 2016 elections.
"There is a lot at stake for our economy in this upcoming election. All the economic gains we have achieved in the past six years will be put to naught and our people cannot fully benefit from them if our country falls into the hands of the wrong leaders," Drilon stressed.
In the report by the National Economic Development Authority, the country's growth domestic product grew by 5.8% in 2015, which, though lower than the 6.1% GDP recorded in 2014, is still among the fastest growing in Asia, next to India, China and Vietnam.
Drilon said that he agreed with outgoing Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Arsenio Balisacan, who earlier said that "the challenge for next administration is to maintain momentum for reforms."
Drilon said that the ability of the country to sustain its economic momentum is mostly due to the reforms implemented by President Aquino all throughout his term, buoyed by the fiscal discipline that was employed by his economic managers.
"There is no doubt that the platform of good governance of President Aquino has effectively resulted in a healthy economy and an improved living condition of the Filipino people," Drilon said.
He noted that the 5.8% growth in 2015 is a far cry from the 1.1% recorded in 2009.
But Drilon said these economic gains are at risk of being reversed if the people elect an inexperienced, ineffective and corrupt leader.
"The upcoming election is crucial in the sustainability of these reforms. The election will make or break whatever we have started under the Aquino administration. We must safeguard the reforms we have painstakingly put in place," Drilon said.
"Let us not throw away the gains we have made. Let us work together in order that we can sustain the reforms that made our economy robust and attractive to both local and foreign investments," he added.
The Senate chief also said that the laws passed by Congress helped lay the foundation for a healthy economy. These include, among others, the Sin Tax Reform Law, the GOCC Governance Act, the Philippine Competition Act, as well as the law that allows the full entry of foreign banks.
Drilon then vowed to continue to work on legislation that can further boost the economy.
"There's a lot to be done. The major task is not only to sustain our economic growth, but also to make sure that this growth is felt by all of our countrymen," Drilon concluded.

Hamilton County Prosecutor Joseph T. Deters announces Murder Indictment against Latonya Austin
Today, Hamilton County Prosecutor Joseph T. Deters announced the murder indictment against LaTonya Austin (DOB 5/15/1978) for the death of her 2-year-old granddaughter, Zaila Lee. Austin is now charged with one count of Aggravated Murder (SF), two counts of Murder (SF), two counts of Felonious Assault (F2), one count of Tampering with Evidence (F3), and one count Gross Abuse of a Corpse (F5). If convicted on all charges, Austin faces life in prison.
Austin was previously indicted for Gross Abuse of a Corpse (F5) and Tampering with Evidence (F3) after the child's body was located in a cooler on Austin's property.
The Hamilton County Coroner's Office ruled Zaila's death a homicide as a result of blunt-force trauma to the head. Additionally, Zaila suffered postmortem injuries, including a deep laceration near her hip and a broken right arm.
Hamilton County Prosecutor Joseph T. Deters commented, "It is impossible to comprehend the depravity of an individual able to, not only strike a 2 year old so hard to cause her death, but to then attempt to conceal that crime by stuffing the child's lifeless body into a cooler. As a father and a grandfather, I am sick.
I am saying a prayer for this victim's siblings, and the members of the Cincinnati Police Department who had to process and investigate this horrible scene."

1. Fold a sheet of crepe paper accordion style. Fasten the paper sheet with a stapler so that it should not separate. The width of he accordion strip is about 12 cm.
2. Cut the petals about 12 cm x 15 cm. Make them of different sizes: there`ll be the largest petals on the edge and the nearer to the center — the smaller ones.
3. Take the pieces of green paper 12 cm x 20 cm and cut the triangles as shown in the picture. They`ll be sepals.
4. Now make the pistil. Prepare a strip of pink paper; bend the wire clamping the strip edge and wind the strip round the wire as shown in the picture. Don`t forget to glue the strip.
5. Begin gluing the petals to the made pistil. Start with small petals and finish with large ones.
6. Make the rose stalk. For this take a strip of green paper and wind it round the wire beginning from the flower.
7. Now make the sepal. For this glue the prepared strip (step 3) round the flower base.
8. The Rose is ready. Make the needed number of them similarly and the Bouquet of Roses from paper is ready.
It`s pretty! Perhaps, my daughter will get interested.
Oh. the flowers look almost like natural ones! Great!

Commentary commentary
Commentary: Muhyiddin Yassin, the all-seasoned politician, who rose to Malaysia's pinnacle of power
Newly sworn-in Malaysian Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin has deeply conservative beliefs, but has demonstrated incredible political savviness in his career that could continue to mark his premiership, says Oh Ei Sun.

Oh Ei Sun
05 Mar 2020 06:00AM (Updated: 09 Feb 2021 08:37AM)
SINGAPORE: Many Malaysians were caught by surprise when Muhyiddin Yassin, a leader who had hitherto taken a backseat to more charismatic and vocal leaders such as long-time Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad and anointed successor Anwar Ibrahim, rose to assume the country's top role last weekend.
But tracing his political path, there were early signs of the vital ingredients at play that eventually laid a path for him to the pinnacle of power.
One statement from Muhyiddin reveals this most. When prompted by journalists in 2010 at a 1Malaysia event, then Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin declared to a stunned audience that he considered himself "Malay first, and Malaysian second", adding also that young Malay Malaysians lagged behind in education.
The matter-of-fact statement was revealing of Muhyiddin's personality and political outlook in at least three interrelated aspects. These same inclinations also suggest the direction he will chart for Malaysia going forward.
READ: Commentary: Three underlying forces fuelled Malaysia's recent political crisis
READ: Commentary: Was the Pakatan Harapan coalition doomed to fail from the start?
CONSERVATIVE BELIEFS
First, the "Malay first" statement places race and religion front and centre in Muhyiddin's personal beliefs and political narrative.
Born into a family of religious scholars, Muhyiddin joined the Malay nationalist UMNO party in Pagoh in 1971 after graduating with degrees economics and Malay studies. He has since been seen as a key personality in the conservative clique in UMNO.
When Anwar was building up his political support within UMNO and beyond by promulgating a series of Malay-centric and religiously inspired policies, Muhyiddin was part of his UMNO youth camp, culminating in the 1993 Wawasan putsch, which propelled Anwar to the party's deputy president position and Muhyiddin vice-president.
Fast forward nearly two-and-a-half decades later, after Muhyiddin broke with UMNO, he decided to form the Malay-only Bersatu party with Mahathir.

It was a big gamble where Bersatu championed for a clean break with UMNO and sought to win over the Malay ground. Muhyiddin understood how frustrated Malays felt, dealing with rising costs-of-living, yet having to stomach rumours of cronyism and corruption in the government.
The payoffs in unseating a decades-long government then were huge.

A DARING POLITICAN
Second, Muhyiddin's "Malay first" statement came at a time when the 1Malaysia communal harmony narrative was promoted with much fanfare by the administration of the then prime minister Najib Razak.
Muhyiddin did not mind breaking with political correctness. It may have been a reflection of his true beliefs but it is also likely that he did not want to be "shunned" by his conservative Malay grassroots support, and saw a niche for claiming the Malay supremacist political ground.
This same opportunistic daringness was seen earlier, when he openly called for a faster power transition from a beleaguered prime minister Abdullah Badawi, who lost many seats in the 2008 general election, to Najib, thus strengthening Najib's political hand.
READ: Commentary: Malaysia's political carousel brings a hit to its economy
READ: Muhyiddin Yassin: Malaysia's veteran political survivor
Muhyiddin was politically rewarded. He had his path to the role of UMNO's deputy president cleared and subsequently became Najib's deputy prime minister. Both Najib and Muhyiddin were then supported by Mahathir, the most senior UMNO party veteran.
But as education minister, Muhyiddin did not hesitate to dismantle Mahathir's much vaunted policy of the teaching of science and mathematics in English in national schools and revert to Malay as the language of instruction, sensing that this was what most conservative parents also desired.
When the 1MDB series of scandals gradually broke in 2015, Muhyiddin publicly called for a closer scrutiny of Najib's associated irregularities, again sensing tremendous popular revulsion and an opportunity to unseat Najib, at a time when most of his cabinet colleagues chose to defend Najib.

This was Najib's Achilles' heel and Muhyiddin's blow opened the floodgates and riled up angry Malaysian voters. Muhyiddin paid the ultimate political price for his 1MDB dissension by being unceremoniously fired by Najib from Cabinet, but this then led him to form Bersatu.
POLITICAL FLEXIBILITY
Third, Muhyiddin's deliberate pronouncement of his "Malay first" stand was also an expression of his political flexibility. He was then part of Najib's administration and continued to at least pay lip service to Najib's 1Malaysia campaign, even holding up the "I Luv PM" placards to shore up support for Najib as occasions demanded.
Earlier in his political career, he also did not mind being sent back from the federal government where he was a deputy minister at the trade and industry ministry, to assume the role of chief minister of his native Johor state in 1986, and proceeded to build up his considerable local support base there.
The swing in Johor, where Muyhiddin started his political career in 1978, has been a chief reason for the Barisan Nasional's massive loss in the 2018 general election.
READ: Commentary: Why Malaysia's debate on race, education and vernacular schools will rage on
READ: Commentary: Malaysia's national consensus on race and politics risks unravelling
Similarly, when he was later brought back to Kuala Lumpur, he planted himself into a series of ministries that became progressively vital much later, including youth and sports, agriculture, and trade and industry.
After Pakatan Harapan (PH) came to power in 2018, despite having served as deputy prime minister, Muhyiddin "flexibly" accepted the less prestigious ministerial portfolio of home affairs.
But it should be noted that even after his cabinet dismissal by Najib in 2015, Muhyiddin chose to remain as UMNO's deputy president for nearly a year, all the time continuing to pledge his loyalty to the party.
His longstanding affinity with and preference for UMNO, the major component party in his present Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition, should have been evident then as it is now, despite his later formation of Bersatu.
A MAN WHO ACTED IN THE POLITICAL CRISIS
So when the recent series of political dramas at the highest levels took place in Malaysia with Muhyiddin as one of the main actors, his racialist preference, opportunistic daringness and operational flexibility all came into play.
Dr Mahathir Mohamad (right), Anwar Ibrahim (centre) and Muhyiddin Yassin leave after a press conference in Kuala Lumpur on Jun 1, 2018. (File photo: Mohd RASFAN / AFP)
He readily entered into a coalition with both his previously affiliated UMNO which championed racialist causes as well as the ardently Islamist PAS. According to Mahathir, it was also Muhyiddin who was no longer willing to work with the multiracial DAP, a PH component party.
When Mahathir hesitated about working with characters involved in corruption charges who still dominated UMNO's leadership, Muhyiddin saw a political opening and came out openly against Mahathir's party leadership in Bersatu.
It was Muhyiddin who pulled the party out of PH against Mahathir's wish and later contested against Mahathir when Mahathir resigned the premiership, ultimately beating Anwar to succeed Mahathir by cobbling together a new PN across the erstwhile political divide.
As Muhyiddin settles into his "accidental" premiership, he would have to deploy his aforementioned shrewd political skills to survive.
READ: Malaysian PM Muhyiddin says he stepped forward to 'save the situation', denies allegations of being traitor
WATCH: Malaysians react to new PM after week of political turmoil
He would need to carefully balance the right-leaning political demands of his predominantly Malay PN major component parties UMNO and PAS against the socioeconomic reality of Malaysia as a multiracial society. Muhyiddin knows he cannot afford to alienate non-Malay constituents as prime minister.
If he survives the vote of no-confidence to be moved by Mahathir's parliamentary camp, which claims it has a majority on their side, Muhyiddin would also need to work with Mahathir and Anwar to restore and reunite the country after this latest series of political traumas.
And all signs are suggesting that's the direction he will take.
Muhyiddin, the consummate politician of all seasons that he is, struck an acceptable chord when, in his maiden speech as prime minister, he directed a deferential tone toward Mahathir and proclaimed himself to be a prime minister for all Malaysians.
"I am the prime minister for all Malaysian citizens from Perlis to Sabah," he said.
"Whether you are Malay, Chinese, Indian, Sikh, Iban, Kadazan, Dusun, Murut, orang asal or from any races or ethnicities, I am your prime minister."

Q: Data linking between Excel data and Visio/PPt Question:  How can we link data from excel sheets to ppt diagrams / visio diagrams ?
Diagrams here are data flow diagrams depicting data trasfer between different applications.
I am aware that the excel data needs to be formatted but not sure how to go about it and could not find helpful links online.
Any light on this would be very helpful.
Thank you.

A: This can be done in many ways, and with more recent versions (2007 and 2010) you can link data into a Visio diagram without writing any code:
Visio/Excel data link
If you're working pre-2007 Visio or with PPT, then I think you'd want to use VBA to create the link.  The problem then becomes how do you persist a link between an Excel cell and a Visio/PPT shape.
I've worked with a tool called eVSM that dumps a process chart in Visio out to an Excel table.  In order to maintain a persistent link between the Excel worksheet and the Visio shapes, they store the GUID of a shape in the Excel cell comment for the shapes cell.  You might be able to do something similar if you can get a unique ID for a PowerPoint shape.
This update mechanism gets run manually because it is relatively time intensive, so it doesn't work like in Excel where you modify the value and the linked display changes instantly, so you'd have to think through how you want to accomplish that.

A: It's easier just to copy and past the cells into a Word document. Then copy and Paste Special as a picture into Visio.

Simpsons has been ever present on the Birmingham food scene for some time, held a Michelin star in the city since 2000. It is out in Edgbaston, a little away from the very centre of the city and has recently undergone a refurbishment within the grand Georgian house that the restaurant inhabits. The main dining area is a very attractive space set in a conservatory, light and with windows into the busy kitchen. For lunch there were 3 menus on offer, a full tasting menu, an a la carte and a cheaper lunch offering. We chose the full tasting menu of 6 courses.
The first food that came our way was a couple of nibbles that were very well presented, a seafood cracker with cod roe mousse the one that stood out. Equally beautiful was the first course of cured trout, the fish beautifully fresh and in harmony with the bright beetroot and warmth of some horseradish.
The dish of the meal arrived next, a modest cup of crab risotto that was beautiful sweet with the white crab meat and a few brown shrimps a more savoury note. F0llowing that was a minimalist affair with a plump fillet of cod, simply served with an artichoke. Again pretty on the plate but flavours here weren't as prominent, a nice dish but lacking something, be it in texture or taste.
Next up was a comforting dish of duck egg, bacon and cep mushroom cream. Simple, classic flavours done well. Equally welcome on a cold winter's day was slow cooked Ox cheek with pearl barley. A powerful onion puree bought a depth to the plate with a few grapes some sweetness to cut through the salty meat and barley.
Dessert was a luxurious bar of chocolate bar, served with a little quenelle of cookie flavoured ice cream. Just on the right side of being too rich. There was a cheese option proffered for an additional cost but we felt we'd had enough food.
The refurbishments at Simpsons have certainly resulted in one of the nicest dining rooms I have eaten in for a while. Having said that the food here didn't quite live up to the high standards set by their interior designer. There wasn't much to fault but there equally there were few memorable dishes. What was also notable was a lack of 'luxury' ingredients. At £85 for this tasting menu I felt it was a little steep for what was ultimately delivered, when I'm shelling out £150 including a modest bottle of wine and service I expect that little bit more. For £10 more at Sat Bains or Nathan Outlaw you get 10 courses and cooking that is a step above Simpsons.

Yom 'Le Silence De L'Exode' (Buda Musique)
Hearing Yom's music at a high volume on a superior acoustic system, one is transported to a primeval wilderness, a place where music seems to come from a source outside us. Or, perhaps, from a place so deep inside that it appears to exist outside our normal musical patterns and responses. One actually feels the breath as it travels from Yom's chest through his Turkish-style clarinet. One can dance to the vibrations of the strings on Claude Tchamitchian's bass. One can touch the resonation of Bijan Chemirani's percussion.
"Le Silence De L'Exode" (The Silence of the Exodus) is Jewish-Sufi acoustic trance music, a fusion of Balkan, Middle Eastern and North African styles. Originally commissioned by the Festival d'Île-de-France, Yom composed the nearly hour-long "Exodus" on the theme of diasporas – specifically the Exodus of the Jewish people out of Egypt.
This is concept album: an impressionistic trip through a mystical desert. The music is sometimes meditative, and ecstatic at other times. Stylistically, the French Jewish clarinetist Yom (that's his name) leans heavily on the doina, a type of slow improvisational music marked by florid ornamentation. The fusion comes through the employment of musical scales and rhythmic patterns common to many types of Middle Eastern musical traditions.
As I understand it, the album attempted to reproduce the stage performance: totally acoustic (mixing included), recorded in the conditions of a live show with the musicians in semi-circle, listening and responding to each other in the moment. The CD was mastered with minimal editing at levels that give the music, the rustle of a page of music, the creaking of a chair and the slight click of the clarinet keys an opportunity to be heard.
Although the CD can be used as background, I strongly suggest the magical power of the music demands one's full attention. Seek out this CD. The rewards are great.

This morning at the United Way office, Lakefield resident David Goyette was introduced as the 2019 United Way Campaign Chair. 2018 Campaign Chair Megan Murphy was on hand to "pass the torch" to Mr. Goyette. Joining David was his partner Victoria Pearce.
United Way CEO Jim Russell said that "David is a true renaissance man," citing Goyette's accomplishments as an academic and published author; a writer, journalist and playwright; a songwriter, guitarist and recorded musician; a painter; and a successful consultant, entrepreneur and business person.
With degrees from the University of Toronto and Queens' University, David's professional career has focused on public affairs and communications consulting to more than 100 Canadian and American politicians; 33 offices at Queen's Park including 17 Deputy Ministers; and the leaders of Canada's business community, including the senior management at most of the country's major banks.
Goyette's volunteer activities in the Peterborough community include service to 20 organizations, including 5 as a Board Director. Peterborough has proven to be fertile ground for David, who has published three books, mounted 15 shows of his paintings, and recorded a blues album since 2011. Full proceeds from the sale of his books were donated to local charitable organizations.
The campaign will launch on September 18, 2019.

Last week, Indian River County Commissioners held an impasse hearing between the sheriff administration and deputies. (Photo: File)
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — County commissioners sided last week with Sheriff Deryl Loar in a nearly yearlong battle with the deputies' union over salaries.
Commissioners, in a 3-2 vote during an impasse hearing Friday, accepted Loar's proposal to give deputies a 5 percent, across-the-board raise, and to boost starting salaries for new deputies from $38,950 to $42,000. As the governing body at the hearing, the commission's decision is final unless the union takes the issue to court.
Commission Chairman Bob Solari said Loar, as the elected constitutional officer, should have the authority to manage his budget and salaries.

The proposal from the International Union of Police Associations, representing about 170 patrol deputies, detectives, school resources and courthouse deputies, would have a higher cost than Loar's proposal, officials said. The union favored a higher raise for deputies with the most experience.
"Neither proposal is perfect," Commissioner Peter O'Bryan said. "Neither proposal has complete parity."
Commissioners Joe Flescher and Tim Zorc opposed the decision, favoring instead to go with the recommendation of a special magistrate, who heard the case in April.
Special magistrate Dennis Campagna recommended raising the starting salary for new deputies to $42,000. But under Campagna's non-binding recommendation, deputies at the top of the pay scale also would receive a pay increase, from $63,151 to $65,867, and all other deputies would receive a 4.3% percent raise.
The sheriff's office rejected the magistrate's recommendation; the union supported it.

The Siege of Wexford
St Michaels FeaghCounty Wexford
The Siege of Wexford took place in early May, 1169.
The city was placed under siege by Norman forces who had recently arrived in Ireland.
The town walls were never breached, but nevertheless the city surrendered after two days of siege. It is believed that the people were persuaded to surrender by two bishops.
Wexford town was now under the control of the Normans.
21 people died during the Siege of Wexford, 18 of whom were on the side of the Normans.
