Federal Overtime Law disappointing for workers and stressful for business. Part 1
September 26, 2016/Employment Law and Compliance
WorkforceHub/September 26, 2016/Employment Law and Compliance
The new Federal Overtime rules, which President Obama signed goes into effect December 1, may not provide as much of a pay increase as many workers have been led to believe. The Department of Labor increased the salary threshold for white collar workers and has promoted the new rule as a wage increase to American workers. However, many businesses are anticipating decisions other than "bumping" all employees up to the new exempt salaries.
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) was implemented in 1938 when President Roosevelt initiated the new law. The original provisions of the FLSA created fundamental standards that most workers today take for granted. Child labor was abolished, the 40 hour work week was set as a standard, overtime was created, and minimum wage was created.
Under the FLSA, certain professional and executive positions were exempt from overtime pay. The original idea behind the rule was that higher white collar jobs provided a certain amount of flexibility and control over hours worked by the employee and so they didn't need to be paid overtime.
For many years, the salary threshold has been $22,660 per year, but starting December 1, 2016, the threshold will become $47,476. Additionally there have been expanded duties test to qualify for the status of exempt.
What are white collar, exempt employees under the Federal Overtime Laws?
Exempt employees, or white collar workers has been defined as professional, executive and administrative employees and have fallen outside the overtime rules. Professional employees are employees who have advanced knowledge or are deemed to be highly creative jobs. Utah Business defined professional employees as employees who have higher education above a bachelor's degree.
However, this isn't always the case. Often these jobs are jobs that are considered semi-self employed and have more flexible work weeks. Positions in these jobs are considered accountants, attorneys, dentists, engineers. Teachers and clergy are also considered professional employees. In the creative realm, innovators, creative directors, actors, musicians, composers, writers are typically considered professional employees and would be exempt from the new overtime rules.
Executive employees are employees who provide management to at least 2 other employee, manages as a primary job duty, and has decision making abilities over other's jobs such as hiring, firing, salary range, promotions, etc. The executive employee may not have final decision making abilities, but will have weighted input in decisions.
Although a shift manager at a fast food restaurant may be a "manager" they may not pass the duties test as they may not have any authority over decisions and may spend the majority of their time preparing food.
Administrative employees spend their time doing administrative, office, or non-manual work that is directly related to the general business operations of the employer. The administrative employee also exercises independent judgement and discretion about matters of significance. Their job duties help to keep the business running.
Some examples of administrative positions include human resources, payroll, advertising and marketing (not direct sales), finance, quality control, public relations, network, internet and database administration, legal and regulatory compliance positions. Administrative employees are not the same as clerical employees because they provide judgement and discretion on decisions that can significantly impact the business.
How does the new Federal Overtime Laws impact employers?
A lot of business have employees that fall under the new threshold and that will be impacted by the new overtime rules. Many assistant managers, executive assistants, and low to mid level supervisors will be impacted by this change.
Many of these positions offer the flexibility for a manager to work overtime one week during a busier season, but to take off and work less than 40 hours during another week and yet get the same pay. Employers have several options for these employees.
First, employers can opt to increase an employee's salary.Typically if the employee is making between $45,000 and the new threshold of $47,476, then it would make sense to raise their pay.
If the employee is making between $40,000 and $45,000, then the employee, their job duties, and overall employment should be evaluated.
Second, employers can reclassify an employee as non-exempt. They can keep the employees on a salary or convert them to hourly, but they need to pay overtime pay for any hours over 40 worked in a week.
Third, employers can restrict employees from working over 40 hours a week. This may require that some employees job duties are redistributed to other workers. It may require hiring of additional employees.
Unless the business chooses to increase all of their current, exempt employees' wages to above the threshold, timekeeping is going to be a vital component for every business. From an employee standpoint, many exempt employees who will move from exempt status to a non-exempt status will feel like they are being demoted.
Employees who are used to self-regulation in their hours worked will feel like they are trusted less by their employer as they have to clock in and out of work for breaks and lunch hours. They are likely to feel less appreciated and more micro-managed.

Home Events Race to Save Judiciary from Justice Delay
Race to Save Judiciary from Justice Delay
Will the justice sector, as we know it, survive the next 50 years? Not until it tackles the problem of justice delay. Heavyweights in the sector considered these and more on November 17 during the second edition of the Wole Olanipekun & Co. (WOC) Justice Summit in celebration of the 70th birthday of Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN). They also provided practical steps to solving the problem. ROBERT EGBE reports.
The lawyer approached the court with a simple application: a motion for extension of time. It was a non-contentious motion in a basic commercial transaction so she was confident it would be granted.
She was right. The judge wasted no time in assenting, but she got a shock when the Registrar gave her a return date of six months.
Lawyers in Nigeria would not be surprised by this scenario. Long adjournments are an all too common feature of the Nigerian legal system and one of the contributors to the backlog of cases that the judiciary, despite its best efforts, is routinely confronted by.
This is not the only problem of the sector, of course.
Against this backdrop, stakeholders in the justice sector gathered in Lagos on November 17, to find a way out of this and many other problems.
The occasion was the Wole Olanipekun & Co. (WOC) Justice Summit on Justice Sector Reforms in celebration of the 70th birthday of Chief Wole Olanipekun, SAN.
Managing Partner, Wole Olanipekun & Co, Mr. Bode Olanipekun, SAN, moderated the event, which was themed "Implementing Justice Sector Reforms".
He traced the 41-year history of his father's law firm that has "serviced legal obligations from 31 out of the 36 states of Nigeria, including FCT.
"We initiated the justice summit as a platform for critical engagements, where remarkable thought leaders of distinguished pedigree lead discussions that enhance justice delivery in Nigeria.
"Our law firm is underpinned by the core values of diligence, integrity, and refined expertise because we believe no value that is antithetical to these can be sustainable," Bode explained
Speakers also considered, among others, the integrity of the justice sector.
"This is critical because, the value of a judicial system is largely dependent on the trust that judicial outcomes command. The trust that judicial outcomes command also has a direct bearing on virtually all aspects of national life," Bode added.
Nigeria must urgently address slow judicial process – Osinbajo
Key among the speakers was Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
Osinbajo warned that for the sector to survive the next 50 years, the slow process of dispensing justice must be addressed.
The VP, who chaired the event, described delays in the judicial process as the "elephant in the room".
Osinbajo said: "I've had many conversations with Chief Olanipekun through the years and invariably we come back to the elephant in the room: will the legal profession, as we know it, survive another 50 years, given the gridlock in processing cases through the courts and the question of integrity of the legal process or better still the integrity of the actors in the legal process?
"Regarding delays in Nigerian Courts, the United Kingdom Court of Appeal had on occasion to comment in the case of (IPCO v. NNPC [2015] EWCA Civ 1144) where a challenge to the enforcement of a Nigerian seated arbitration tribunal award came before the English Court of Appeal.

"The court referred to the delays in the parallel proceedings before a Nigerian Court as catastrophic and that it could take a further 30 years to resolve.
"Incidentally, the expert witness who testified on delays in the Nigerian Courts was a former Justice of the Supreme Court who testified that it could take 20 to 30 years to resolve a case in a Nigerian court.
"On the integrity of the legal process and its key actors, judges, and lawyers, most of us here who have practised in our courts and who still practise know at least, anecdotally, that many important cases today are under a shroud of doubt as to whether outcomes would be influenced one way or the other."
Praises for the celebrant
Osinbajo described the celebrant, Olanipekun, "as one of the most consequential and influential lawyers in the Commonwealth", adding that beyond his accolades and achievements, he has impacted many lives through his kindness, philanthropy and faith."
Thanking God for giving the legal luminary "an ever-youthful physique and disposition, Prof. Osinbajo said "Chief Olanipekun's great intellect, mastery of the law, its substance and its technicalities, his incredible ability to get to the heart of the matter and to let whole panels of judges see his sometimes daring points; his disarming wit and humour, his sometimes lyrical and poetic submissions, quoting from the classics and the Scriptures, make him easily one of the most outstanding minds in the legal profession in this or any other generation."
Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) Tanko Ibrahim lauded Olanipekun's accomplishments and generosity.
The CJN, who was represented by Justice Olukayode Ariwola of the Supreme Court, said Olanipekun "bestrides the Nigerian legal landscape with iconic and academic discernment."
He also described him as a "very unique and nationalistic Nigerian with a radical posture of justice and rule of law."
Aside Osinbajo, other speakers included Justice Fedode Tabai, JSC (Rtd.); Justice Adamu Galumje, JSC (Rtd.); Chief Judge of Borno State, Justice Kashim Zannah; former President, Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), A. B. Mahmoud, SAN; former NBA Vice President Mrs. Funke Adekoya, SAN, lawyer-activist Femi Falana, SAN; founder of The Chair Centre, Mrs. Ibukun Awosika, and the immediate past Chief Executive/Vice Chancellor of the Lagos State University Prof Olanrewaju Fagbohun.
Why justice sector reform hasn't stopped delay
Fagbohun spoke on the theme: "Implementing Justice Sector Reforms in Nigeria: Connecting The Disconnect."
He identified the reasons for and instances of delay as well as the solutions to the problem.
Fagbohun said there must be effective institutional checks within the judiciary to guard against misconduct on the part of judges and lawyers.
The SAN explained why, despite having the ideas and capable personnel, justice sector reforms have not had the desired effects.
Fagbohun said: "What have we achieved since 1999 in the area of justice reform? On its path to development, the drivers of Nigeria's justice sector have not been short of vision and ideas on how to move forward to achieve incremental transformation. Like countries with trusted justice systems, Nigeria wanted a system that would expedite and make affordable access to justice a system that will boast of sweet service for all, irrespective of status, a system where the law will be administered and served by an incorruptible, honest and efficient and intellectually sound judiciary and the Bar."

He noted that the country had never been short of champions of the reform agenda.
"If you have good reforms, if you are able to identify champions and they were able to put this in place, then what is the problem?"
Why there is justice delay
The former VC noted that despite "these meritorious efforts," not much progress had been recorded in achieving the goals of the different reforms.
Quoting Fidelis Oditah, SAN, QC at the last edition of the summit, Fagbohun said: "Rather than just a problem of access to justice, what we have is a situation of exit from justice. Judges are now being regarded with disdain while lawyers are fast becoming laughing stock or an endangered species. There is a report of the UNODC and that report identifies that the justice system in Nigeria, despite laudable reforms at federal and state levels, continue to face multiple challenges.
He laid the blame for delay on several factors, including gaps in implementation of reforms, such as "Administrative Disconnect".
Fagbohun said: "Take Registrars of court for instance, they are on daily basis faced with a large amount of judicial work. They initiate administrative actions that have a continuing responsibility for results, yet, most of them do not fully understand the functioning of the justice sector and how crucial their role is in it.
"The system relies for success on their consistency, equality of treatment and of the service they render, and the certainty of rules and principles on which their respective administrative departments rely in their daily use. Where they misact and exhibit administrative lawlessness, the court system is brought into disrepute and ridicule. A few examples are worth highlighting:
"a) Registrars who receive applications from litigants' counsel and other members of the public, but fail to lodge same in the court's file, thereby frustrating scheduled court proceedings;
"b) Registrars who fail to communicate changes in the schedule of court despite having the email and phone numbers of counsel on file;
"c) Registrars who engage in manipulation of litigants and other members of the public with a view to extorting them;
"d) Registrars who fail to properly keep and arrange the record of the court resulting in adjournment of scheduled proceedings;
"e) Court Bailiffs and Sheriffs who in breach of their mandatory duty and despite being "mobilised" failed to serve or fail to place in the court's file relevant proof of service of court process thereby, frustrating cases from going on as scheduled;
"f) At the Appellate Court, Counsel submits several copies of court processes only to discover that the processes are not in the court's file;
"g) A non-contentious application is filed for extension of time yet, the Registrar routinely gives a return date of 6 to 12 months, thereby contributing to the backlog of cases."
He noted that the above and many more of such situations which can make the difference between winning or losing a case, life and death, or impact successive generations are daily occurrences in the courts.
Fagbohun went on: "No one is held accountable for these seemingly minor infractions that have significant impact on the attainment of justice and business goes on as usual. Complaints against these forms of maladministration are not robustly addressed so much that persistent infraction of rules has become a culture.

The solution to these, he reasoned, includes holding their superiors accountable.
He said: "So, the question I ask is, could we not have a Deputy Chief Registrar Process Monitoring who can be held accountable for the failure of his unit? Could we not have a directive that all processes served must be in the record of the court within 48 hours?"
He cited the example of the National Industrial Court of Nigeria which seems to have got it right.
Fagbohun said: "Achieving effectiveness in the Court Registry is realisable. A good example is the situation at the National Industrial Court of Nigeria. Its different divisions reflect excellence in the way court processes are managed, and judgment delivered electronically, among others. This great model, which is worthy of study, underscores the point that a functionary's positive attitude towards their role in the scheme of affairs is not a product of genetics and heredity.
"Again, I ask, could we not train Deputy Chief Registrars in the proper identification of reliefs on motion papers as to be able to deal with non-contentious issues? With proper training, appropriate monitoring and sanctions, we can get our court registries to effectively play their role in the implementation of justice sector reforms."
In proffering other solutions, Fagbohun said: "In implementing justice sector reforms, there were three key assumptions whose self-evident truths we concluded were clear to all.
"The first is that the moment we bring in best practice, we will achieve the desired goals. The second is that all critical stakeholders have an understanding of what is at stake, and, at worst, what will be required is the upscale of their skill set and knowledge. The third is that all critical stakeholders will exude the right discipline and commitment."
The Chief Judge of Borno State, Hon. Justice Kashim Zannah, spoke on "Entrenching Integrity of Processes in Judicial Appointments", while a retired Justice of the Supreme Court, Hon. Justice Paul Galumje, spoke on "Entrenching Integrity of Processes in Judicial Reforms".
Human rights lawyer Falana, spoke on "Political Influence on Judicial Appointments"; while forrmer NBA President Mahmoud, SAN, spoke on "How to balance diversity, gender, inclusion and merit in judicial appointments".
Mrs. Adekoya, SAN, spoke about "Essential collaborations for successful implementation of justice sector reforms."
A non-lawyer contributor at the WOC Justice Summit, Mrs. Awosika, spoke on the "Implications of judicial reforms on public trust."
On his part, the celebrant, Olanipekun, said the Justice Summit organised by his law firm is among his modest contributions to the advancement of the justice delivery system in Nigeria. He noted that the thorny issue of integrity and the urgent need for reforms in the sector remain worrisome and should be of concern to all.
He urged speakers and participants at the event not to relent in their efforts to ensure the reform of the judiciary, stressing that the progress sought by society is largely tied to justice and equity.

A couple of Logan County schools occupy two of the number one spots in the West Virginia Boys Basketball Coaches Poll released Sunday.
For the fourth straight week, Logan holds down the top spot in Class AAA while Man took advantage of Greater Beckley Christian's loss to Calvary Baptist Academy to move from a third-place tie last week to the top spot in Class A.
The Hillbillies were dominant in wins over Tolsia (90-34), Richwood (106-48) and Parkersburg Catholic (101-42) last week to claim the top spot despite only receiving three of 15 first-place votes from the coaches. Greater Beckley Christian received twelve first-place votes and dropped to second in the poll. James Monroe falls from second to third while Tug Valley, who was tied with Man for third last week, is fourth and Greenbrier West fifth in Class A.
Logan remained atop the Class AAA poll after victories over Wayne (86-55) and Class AAAA Woodrow Wilson (64-46). The Wildcats received eight first-place votes, earning all but two first-place votes. Fairmont Senior earned the other two first-place votes and moved to second place replacing Shady Spring, who drops to third. Winfield and Wheeling Central remained fourth and fifth in the Class AAA poll. Ripley ninth and Berkeley Springs, who is tied for 10th with Nitro, make their debuts in the poll while Grafton, who was tied for eighth last week, falls out of the top 10.
Chapmanville, who did not play last week due to COVID regulations, dropped from fourth to sixth in the Class AA poll. Poca maintained its firm grip on the top spot in Class AA after receiving nine first-place votes. Bluefield earned the other first-place vote and is ranked second with St. Marys third. Williamstown moved from fifth to fourth and Ravenswood from sixth to fifth in Class AA. The Miners of Mingo Central remain ninth and despite a 2-6 record, Buffalo debuts at 10th this week replacing Wyoming East.
In Class AAAA, Morgantown continues to hold the top spot. The Mohigans received seven first-place votes with George Washington receiving three first-place votes and Parkersburg South one to remain second and third in the AAAA poll. Jefferson remains fourth and South Charleston jumps two spots to round out the top five.
Chapmanville overcomes slow start, doubles up Poca 56-28

Features Latin America Nicaragua Segments
Nicaragua Interprets the Resignation of Evo Morales: Armed Forces were Key

"What the Army did was to side with the people, by saying they would not attack the people," says Tunnermann; while Ortega condemns "coup d'etat"
By Maynor Salazar (Confidencial)
HAVANA TIMES – The stance of the Bolivian Army and Police, of not going out to the streets and shooting against the population protesting the electoral fraud that gave the victory to the now former president Evo Morales, was decisive. It gave that country the opportunity to "get rid of Evo Morales" and avoid further violence and bloodshed, believes Carlos Tunnermann, coordinator of the Civic Alliance, in statements to Confidencial, about how Nicaragua "reads" the resignation of the now former Bolivian president.
Bolivia suffered a serious crisis since the proclamation of Morales as president of the country for a fourth consecutive term after the elections of October 20. The opposition and civic movements denounced that there was electoral fraud, so they demanded the resignation of the president and the call for new elections. On Sunday November 10th Morales resigned from the Presidency after almost 14 years in power.
Institutionality: the big difference in Bolivia
"What happened in Bolivia is that institutions were respected. This allowed everything to be resolved without the need for so much violence and hundreds of deaths. What the Army did was to side with the people. They said: 'Mr. President, we will not attack the Bolivian people.' Later, when they saw that the national cry was for him to leave power, they opted to suggest that he resign," affirmed Tunnermann.
The Bolivian Army and Police demanded that the president resign his position to pacify the country. However, that was not the only significant action. Also, during these weeks and in the last hours, they refused to repress the population, while the military announced operations against illegal armed groups.
"The Government of Evo Morales became disorganized. This shows that there is a big difference when in a country there is still respect to a certain degree of institutions and it seems that in Bolivia there is, because we saw that the Attorney General's Office initiated a process against the officials who participated in the electoral fraud," he said.
The former professor expressed that the position taken by the Armed Forces of Bolivia, should be taken seriously, at least, by the Army in Nicaragua, because the institutional position of the National Police is more flawed.
"The Constitution says that the Army is constituted to defend national sovereignty, that it should not have a political, partisan option, and that it must be fundamentally subject to laws and the Constitution. We cannot compare one situation with another. Here the Chief of the Army has expressed his loyalty to his Constitutional chief, who is Ortega. And he just said it when he visited the grave of Carlos Fonseca, he said that they will remain loyal, and that they will not change their position," explained Tunnermann.
Opposition celebrates "triumph of democracy"
Hours after learning of Morales' resignation as president of Bolivia, the Civic Alliance published a statement in which it "saluted" the Bolivian people and armed forces, for giving a lesson in democracy and civility. Likewise, they also pointed out that unity has been key to make a call for new elections and the recognition of the armed forces for their constitutional duty.
"Bolivians demonstrated that unity is key to be able to enforce the popular will and the professionalism of law enforcement forces evidenced their commitment to democracy and justice," the statement said.
The Alliance also mentions the report issued by the Organization of American States (OAS), which evidenced the irregularities of the electoral process. Likewise, the statements made on the same issue by the European Union High Commissioner, who said that a return to stability required a new and timely electoral process that was credible.
On this point, Tunnermann said that precisely credible electoral processes are peaceful and civic solutions to national crises. "If the elections [in Nicaragua] are advanced, it would be an ideal solution, however, an agreement and political will of the regime is required, so that it changes and realizes that with repression the problems are not solved, they are only aggravated," he expressed.
The Blue and White National Unity movement, "greeted" the civic conquest of the "Bolivian people" that opens the way to the recovery of democracy. It indicated the signs of dignity of Latin Americans of a firm determination to put an end to authoritarian tyrannies.
"In this historic day of the resignation of dictator Evo Morales, we reaffirm our commitment to continue fighting for the liberation of our country. We demand that the Army and the National Police fulfill their duty to respect and enforce the constitutional rights of all Nicaraguans, to follow the Bolivian example and side with the just demands of the people," the statement said.
Daniel Ortega condemns "coup d'état"
On Sunday night, the dictatorship of Daniel Ortega "denounced and strongly condemned" the alleged coup d'état suffered by the Government of Evo Morales. "We express our rejection and repudiation of fascistic practices that ignore the Constitution, laws and institutions that govern the democratic life of nations," the statement said.
The Ortega regime said that it knows "in its own flesh" the practices of these hate crimes and violence that violate human rights, in reference to the rebellion that broke out in April, 2018. "They impose racism, terrorism, cruelty, humiliation, abhorrent and degrading treatment, as part of an uncivilized and destructive script, which empires apply against governments," it states.
Ortega supported the version of a coup d'état that Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro also published on his social networks. In the press release published in official media, the regime assures that Morales was forced to leave the presidency.
Ortega had congratulated Morales after his "victorious electoral process" in the October 20 elections. "With revolutionary joy and enthusiasm, we salute the victorious electoral process that was in our sister Bolivia, culminating with your reelection to continue leading your people and Government," Ortega wrote to Morales.

Is confidencial part of US backyard politics? Not that I am a fan of the Ortegta kingdom but Morales was much better than that.
The Anti-Imperialist
Ron, Morales apparently did the same thing that Ortega and Maduro did, steal elections after taking control of the electoral power so he could win one way or the other, legitimately or not. While I liked his way of governing more than the other two, especially at the beginning, he got stung by the "I'm the only one bug that eminates from Havana", wanting to be in power for life. By the time this disgraceful fraud took place he had given all his support to his buddies Maduro and Ortega after their fradulent reelections. If MAS is anything more than one person, they will now have the chance to show it. Morales dug his own political grave, nobody else is to blame.

The Levi Yitzchok Library
Fall 5739/1978
In recent years, as a token of respect and affection for the Rebbe, Shlita, and his great father,
a number of important institutions in the worldwide Chabad community have been established
bearing Rabbi Levi Yitzchok's holy name. Among them is the Levi Yitzchok Library of Lubavitch
Youth Organization in Crown Heights, Brooklyn.
The history of the library dates back to the year 1972. On the 11th of Nissan of that year,
the Rebbe's seventieth birthday, he called for a "birthday present" during the coming year at
least seventy-one new institutions dedicated to the furtherance and strengthening of Torah,
mitzvos observance and Jewish education. Immediately, all existing Chabad centers
throughout the world threw themselves into the task of establishing one or more such institutions.
Later that same year, on Tishrei 6, the Yahrtzeit of his mother the Rebbetzin Chana o.b.m., the Rebbe suggested that among the institutions that should be established in each place are libraries of Torah books. The advantage of a library, he explained, is that it can encourage the keeping of numerous other mitzvos, in addition to the actual Torah study that is involved in reading the books. Increased mitzvah observance can result from reading literature that deals with practical aspects of Jewish life, while other books can inspire Jews to stronger commitment to their faith by detailing, for example, the life histories of great Jewish personalities of the past. A library can serve as a rallying-center in the Jewish community, a social focal-point where Jew meets Jew in a Torah-true environment, thereby mutually strengthening each other's Jewish feelings.
In Crown Heights, the world center of Chabad activities, plans were immediately discussed for a large imposing library. A suitable building was found and beautifully fitted out for the large-capacity library, and on 14 Kislev, 1973 (the Rebbe's wedding anniversary), the extensive restructuring and decoration of the building was finally concluded and the library was officially founded. The following months saw the acquisitions of thousands of volumes in Hebrew, English, Yiddish and other tongues. And when the Rebbe, Shlita, called for the expansion of this celebrated ten-point "Mitzvah Campaign" which included "filling the home with Torah-books" there came additional powerful impetus for expansion of the library.
On 20 Av, 1975, his father's Yahrtzeit, the Rebbe, Shlita, officially authorized the use of his father's name for the library. This was the beginning of the Rebbe's intimate personal relationship with the library, which he demonstrates in many ways. He has participated in the library financially on several occasions and has donated a number of books from his own private collection including some that he was accustomed to use himself on a day to day basis. On the day of the Yahrtzeit each year, as also on the day of Rabbi Levi Yitzhok's birthday on 18 Nissan, special lectures and study sessions are held in the library on themes from Rabbi Levi Yitzchok's printed works.
Since it began operations, the library has been involved in a continuos program of
expansion. In addition to keeping up to date with numerous new publications in many
languages that come off the press year by year, the library has established an
extensive tape collection of Chassidic and traditional Jewish music, Talmud,
Mishana, Chassidic philosophy, the Rebbe's farbrengens (Chassidic gatherings)
and other Torah and educational subjects. Recently, the foundations of a microfilm
library have been laid, with several hundred microfiche or rare books and manuscripts.
So far, this project has been concentrating on material on Chabad history and
literature for research purposes. The library is also responsible for a number of "firsts"
including the first complete collection of all of the Rebbe's non-edited Sichos and
Maamorim (Transcripts of his Talks and Discourses at farbrengens).
Another new project currently being introduced is the complete computerization of the entire library's collection. The complete use of Hebrew characters for all Hebrew and Yiddish volumes in this computerization iso also a notable "first" for the library. It seems that other than the printing of Hebrew books, this is the first time the Hebrew alphabet is being used outside of Israel for day-to-day computer operation. The aim of this project is to cut down the need for labor in cataloguing new books, which at present can take between twenty and sixty minutes per volume. Eventually it is planned to create completely separate listings for authors, titles and subjects, which will be of immense use to those attending the library and should also cut down the time taken for cataloguing a new book by at least eighty percent.
The numbers of those using the library have been steadily rising. Is is estimated that over the past three years close to fifty thousand people have availed themselves of its facilities. They range from college-students interested in Chassidic philosophy and Yeshiva students investigating a particular Talmudic or Halachic problem, to senior citizens who wish to utilize their leisure-time usefully, busy housewives who borrow books for home reading and children who come to do their homework.
The concept of such a library, and especially its outstanding organization and success, have served as an inspiring model for the establishment of similar institutions around the world. Other sections of New York City and other urban centers where there are large concentrations of Jewish population saw just how instrumental such a Torah-library can be in strengthening Jewish life. In emulating the example of the Levi Yitzchok Library, they also availed themselves of the expertise of the librarians there for advice in establishing their own libraries, and continue to do so. Even as far away as Israel, and outlying cities around the United States and Canada, help and advice have been sought by existing and new libraries.
Funding of the library is entirely by private donation. Those who contribute over $1,000 are inscribed on a special wall-plaque, while many have donated books and smaller sums in memory of loved ones or in honor of important family events. In fact, these days, contributions to a library are perhaps the only practical way of carrying out the Talmudic recommendation, based on the verse from Psalms (CX113): "His righteousness stands forever" - "This means one who writes down the Torah in book-form and lends the books to others." (Kesubos, 50a).
Among future plans are the relocation of the library on the much larger upper floor of the same building and expansion of the tape and microfilm collections. It is also hoped to reach wider and wider circles of the Jewish population and inspire the establishment of yet more and more libraries in an all-out attempt to accomplish the prophetical prediction (Isaiah XI, 9); " The earth shall be as full of knowledge of G-d as waters cover the sea" - with the coming of Moshiach!

Watch: Wes Hoolahan given hero's welcome for final Norwich home game
It is a day of celebration in Norwich today, as Wes Hoolahan's incredible career at Carrow Road comes to a close.
Hoolahan recently announced he will depart from Norwich at the end of the season, bringing to an end a 10-year spell at the club.

The club announced his departure in an emotional statement this week, confirming special plans were in place for this Saturday's home game against Leeds
It was even stated that he would not take part in the final match of the season – away at Sheffield Wednesday – so he could receive his deserved send off from the home crowd.

It's always good to have friends, and in a big-little town like this it's especially satisfying to stay in touch with people you may bump into at a coffee shop, or a pitch, or a mixer.
Okay, it's not as hard as digging ditches. But we're working in a field that's at once subjective and beholden to the bottom line; a field in which we are hired for our knowledge and then answer to people without it who opine anyway. This can be challenging stuff. It helps immeasurably to hear that it's tough for other people and to get help navigating these situations.
And the work itself is hard. We're all always trying to push into new territory, to avoid the beaten path. But we have deadlines, we have preconceptions to meet (or beat), we have personalities to manage. And, of course, the technology and the aesthetic of the moment are changing all the time.
There are a million little reasons why it's good to have access to a group of design-minded folks. In short: we get it.
Some of us are freelancers looking for interesting, well-paying projects. Others are design managers looking for talented, driven designers. We should meet.

1 What is a Seed?
Whenever a believer has it on their heart to donate an item, they post it as a seed. All material items listed on Store of Seed are considered seeds. Seeds can either be posted to donate or they can be taken by a believer.
2 What do I do when someone contacts me about my seed?
Have peace about who the item/service is going to. If you get a strange feeling or things seem "off" and you believe the requester is taking the item to sell it for profit somewhere, you can politely deny the request or choose not to respond.
If you would like to move forward with the exchange, you can ask the requester questions such as, "When do you need the item/service?" or, "Where would you like to meet to receive it?" Be sure to read our FAQ about safety and public meetings. You can still remain anonymous in this phase by corresponding with the requester via the website's internal messaging system. You do not have to tell the requester anything about yourself.
If you feel comfortable giving the item/service to the requester, decide on a public meeting place and give the item to the requester.
Remember to delete your seed post after you have made the exchange.
3 Why did my post get deleted?
Your post expired after 6 months. You may choose to re-post it. You should have received an email notification about this.
4 How do I add an image to my post?
Adding photos to a post is not required, but highly encouraged.
On the POST A SEED page, click the dark blue UPLOAD IMAGE button.
A pop up window will appear where you can browse through your files and select the images you want to add.
Be sure to choose the image you want featured 1st, then the others. You can upload up to 3 images.
Be patient while the upload takes place. The website is compressing large images. We also encourage you to reduce the file sizes of your images.
If you want to remove a photo you have uploaded, simply click the "Delete Permanently" link.
Click SAVE DRAFT & PREVIEW. If your post is as you want it, click PUBLISH LISTING.
5 What is a Need?
Whenever a believer has a need, they can post it to Store of Seed. Needs can be a ride to work, payment of a utility bill, moving or borrowing a lawn mower. Needs can be posted and needs can be met.
When posting a need, first be sure to check the list of seeds to ensure the item you need isn't already posted.
Click POST A SEED from the top header menu.
Fill out the appropriate category, listing description, title and location. Your contact details such as phone number and email are optional. These may auto-populate based on your account profile information, but you can choose to delete them to remain anonymous if you prefer to be contacted through the website instead.
Click SAVE DRAFT & PREVIEW. Review your draft post. If everything looks good, click PUBLISH LISTING.
Your post will be submitted to an SOS administrator for review that it meets standards and compliance. You will not automatically see your post listed on the website. You will be emailed once your post has been approved/deleted. *Note: you will not be able to make edits to your post during the approval process.
First and most importantly, SOS is not meant to be a replacement for provision through a job. You are free to request an item you want, but please remember to give as much as you receive. Store of Seed is not meant to be a shopping website.
Be sure you are logged into your account. You will need to create an account if you do not already have one.
On the right side of the post, the owner's contact information is sometimes displayed. You can reach out to them via email/phone call. Sometimes their contact info is not displayed and they prefer to remain anonymous. In this case, you can send them a message through the website by filling out the contact form.
Wait patiently for a reply. Be respectful and do not harass the owner. This could be reported as abuse and result in account termination. The owner has a right to refuse, so accept the answer gracefully.
If the owner decides to move forward with giving, work with them to establish a place and time to meet in public to make the exchange. Thank them and praise God!
8 Are all Posts (Seeds) Free?
Yes! Store of Seed was founded on the model of the early church of Acts where the believers shared everything they had and no one claimed any of his possessions was their own. Only post items you are willing to part with free of charge. When meeting a need, do so as your heart moves you without expectation of payment.
Any solicitation for payment of an item or service will be reported for abuse of the system and may result in the deletion of your account.
9 Are My Posts Anonymous?
If you choose to remain anonymous when posting a seed, you can do that by ensuring your phone number and email address is not filled in the Contact Details of the POST A SEED or POST A NEED page. These are not required fields and will only show up if they are typed in. They may auto-populate from the information listed in your member profile, but you can delete them when you post a seed. Always be sure to PREVIEW your post before you publish it.
If you choose to remain anonymous, people needing your posted item/service will fill out a contact form through the website and you will be notified via email. That email will contain the requester's name and email address along with a message from them. You can decide at this point to contact the requester via email, text or phone call if you want to move forward. If you choose to remain anonymous, correspond with people via the website's internal messaging system.
When logged into your account, click MY SEEDS from the top header menu.
You can do a search for the post you want to edit/delete or you can scroll through the list of seeds you have posted.
Then next to the seed you want, there are buttons to edit/delete that post.
To edit it, click EDIT and make the necessary changes, then be sure to click the SAVE CHANGES button at the bottom of the post to finish.
*Note: You will not be able to edit a post during the administrator review process. So be sure you view your post as a draft first, then submit it for admin approval to be published. You will then be able to edit your post after admin has published it.
11 Where is my Post (Seed)?
You may need to refresh/reload your internet browser.
Posts are reviewed and published by SOS administrators to ensure compliance and safety. Your post may not have been reviewed and published yet. You will receive an email once your post is live.
Make sure to look in the correct category and correct location (ie: books in Las Vegas).
If unable to locate a post using search, make sure the keyword used actually appears in the post.
Postings eventually expire if it has been longer than 6 months.
12 How Often Can I Post/How Often Can I Take (Reap)?
You can post an unlimited number of items to donate as often as you like. SOS highly encourages believers to build up the church this way.
Needs can be posted often, but please remember to try to give more than you receive. The Bible tells us that giving is more blessed than receiving but we understand there are times and seasons where needs have to be met more often.
When taking a seed (an item), keep the same principle in mind. Always try to give more than you take. Excessive taking may be reported or flagged for abuse.
13 Does my Post (Seed) Expire?
Seeds and Needs will expire after 180 days (6 months) and will automatically be removed from the listings. This ensures Store of Seed is kept up to date with the most current listings.
You can find your expired post when you login to your membership account and you will also be notified via email about your expired seed/need. You can choose to renew your seed/need if it has expired.
14 What Kind of Postings are Prohibited?
If your personal information has been posted on Store of Seed, use our support@storeofseed.org email address to report the offender. You will be asked for additional information such as a record of the correspondence, dates, etc so please keep track of these.
If you are receiving email directly from another individual (i.e. you can see the sender's email address and/or phone number), it may be advisable to forward details of the messages, including the full email headers, to the sender's email account provider. If you feel the harassment is significant enough, it may make sense to report the issue to law enforcement as well. In addition, it may help to set up a block against the sender's email address in your email client.
Insist on a public meeting place like a church, cafe, or shopping center.
Be especially careful exchanging high value items.
Please review our avoiding scams faq as well.
We do our best to ensure all memberships are serious believers who understand the boundaries of the service offered, but occasionally there might be an inappropriate post. You can report posts by clicking "Report Abuse" at the bottom of each post's page.
5 How Do I Avoid a Scam?
Do not extend payment to anyone for anything. All SOS items and services are free of charge.
Transactions are between users only, no third parties involved.
The same person taking items excessively is likely taking them to sell for a profit elsewhere.
The most important thing to remember with SOS is that transactions are FREE. Anyone asking for money should be a red flag. If you believe a scam is happening, please contact support@storeofseed.org You can report posts by clicking "Report Abuse" at the bottom of each post's page.
Solicitation for payment may result in the deletion of the account membership.
Describe the issue you encountered in detail including the steps you took that led you to encounter the problem (what you clicked, what you were trying to do, etc).
If possible, please take a screen shot of the error and attach it to your report email.
Your feedback helps us keep SOS operating in top condition and makes the best user experience possible. Thank you!
1 What is phone verification/Why do I need to verify my number?
For individuals who want to participate in SOS but cannot register under their church's account, we have created a process for those individuals to become members.
We are strict about the membership process and want to verify each user, so phone verification helps keep SOS legitimate and safe.
How does phone verification work?
After entering your contact details, you will be prompted to enter your phone number. After entering it, you should see a "verification number" displayed on your computer screen and we will call you asking for that code. Enter the verification number into your phone when prompted on the phone call and the new account registration will continue automatically.
What if I type my phone number incorrectly?
Re-enter your correct phone number and click VERIFY.
You may only enter the code three times.
Error message says phone number is "already in use"?
The number you are trying to use for verification is already associated with another SOS account. All accounts must have a unique phone number.
Problems? Contact us and let us know.
2 Why Do I Need an Account?
Store of Seed was created to help the body of Christ. As much as possible, we try to eliminate abuse of the program such as excessive taking of items or trying to sell items for a profit. To reduce abuse, we are selective about the account sign up process and having accounts allows us to track transactions. Therefore, no one is able to use SOS without a valid and approved membership account.

Amnesty Int: Israel Deliberately Attacks Gaza Health Workers!
August 8, 2014 by mosesman
by http://www.presstv.com/
Amnesty International has accused the Israeli regime of conducting "deliberate attacks" on hospitals and health workers in the Gaza Strip, calling for an immediate investigation into Tel Aviv's aggression.
The international human rights body on Thursday published testimonies from health workers and ambulance personnel who had worked in the besieged enclave while "bombs and bullets were killing or injuring their colleagues."
Philip Luther, Amnesty's Middle East and North Africa director, said Israel army has also targeted health facilities and professionals, adding, "Such attacks are absolutely prohibited by international law and would amount to war crimes. They only add to the already compelling argument that the situation should be referred to the International Criminal Court."
Luther also noted that medical staff and hospitals have increasingly come under fire since July 17, when the Tel Aviv regime began its ground operations in Gaza.
Some medical teams have also been prevented from reaching bombed areas and hundreds of injured civilians were left without access to medical help, Luther noted.
"Hospitals across the Gaza Strip are also suffering from fuel and power shortages, inadequate water supply, and shortages of essential drugs and medical equipment. Such shortages, already prevalent due to Israel's seven-year blockade, have been made much worse during the current hostilities," he added.
Some 1,900 Palestinians, including more than 400 children, have been killed and over 9,500 others wounded since the beginning of the Israel's military attacks against the Gaza Strip on July 8.
A 72-hour humanitarian truce between the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas and Israel took effect at 8 a.m. (0500 GMT) on Tuesday.

Q: Extract Month and Day in Javascript I have the date in this format: 1347564203.713372
And need to end up with 2 variables, one that is the month from that date and another that is the day from that date.
How do I do this using Javascript/jQuery?

A: This should do:
var myDate = 1347564203.713372;
var d= new Date(myDate*1000);
var month = d.getMonth();
var day = d.getDate();

A: Create a Date object, use setTime to put your timestamp in there, then get the relevant parts:
var d = new Date(), t = 1347564203.713372;
d.setTime(t*1000); // JS uses timestamps in milliseconds
alert(d.getUTCDate());
alert(["Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec"][d.getUTCMonth()]);

Note use of getUTC* functions - this helps avoid timezone issues and DST.

Thanks for lovely pairing rules! It's not always handy to whip out Dornenburg's "What to Drink with what you Eat", or Goldstein's "Perfect Pairings". But when I'm home, and just not sure…it's where I go for specific pairing suggestions. I am also forever grateful to restaurants who suggest pairings right on the menu; wish more restaurants provided this guidance.


I know, I keep mentioning Trim Healthy Mama, and I've posted a bunch of Fuel Cycle menus, but I haven't really taken the time to talk about the Fuel Cycle and what it does for me. The Trim Healthy Mama Fuel Cycle is a week where we try to shake things into gear in terms of weight loss. It's not for beginners, or even for ladies who are consistently losing, but instead was created for those with stubborn weight that are stalling and not losing. As a Turtle who loses, on average, no more than 0.2 pounds a week, I do a Fuel Cycle every couple months to shake things up. And it works. I lose anywhere between 2 and 7 pounds anytime I do a Fuel Cycle! Now I'm working on keeping it off in between Fuel Cycles!
Know the Plan – The Fuel Cycle week completely fits in with THM guidelines, but it follows a more restricted set of regulations. Reading (and re-reading) the chapter on the Fuel Cycle is a must for success – if you don't know the rules, how can you follow them? Even if you've read and re-read, you still may miss something. I was on my third Fuel Cycle before I realized that I was not supposed to be having ricotta cheese on FP days. I know, how did I miss that?! Anyway, read and re-read, make some little cheat sheets to help you out, lock the cheese drawer and hide the nuts. Or am I the only one that needs to do that?! Basically, know what it takes to do a Fuel Cycle, and you'll clearly be more successful in it's implementation.
Keep it Simple – I don't really do elaborate meals or snacks on my Fuel Cycle. There are tons of recipes in the book, but I find the most success when I just keep it really simple. A big salad with pan-fried salmon on top, doused in olive oil and a little balsamic, is the perfect Deep S lunch, while eggs and bacon for breakfast start the day out right for me. If it's a busy week at work, I'll cook as much as I can on the weekend so that I have less to do during the week. In short, I like quick and easy, and I find that to be the best thing during the Fuel Cycle as well. If I have to think too much about it, or take too much time preparing it, I'm probably going to break into the cheese drawer! But if I keep it simple, I can enjoy the delicious food without stressing over preparation, and my week just goes better that way.
Go Tried and True – On my very first Fuel Cycle, I was super-excited about trying a new recipe that I hadn't previously made. Imagine my horror and frustration when the end product was just not appealing to me. I was on a Fuel Pull day, was very hungry, and needed to leave for work in just a few minutes. A failed recipe meant a recipe for failure at that point. Since then, I have stuck with what I know for the Fuel Cycle. That generally means something like my fabulous peaches and cream oatmeal for E mornings, and a berry version for FP. I know I love these, and they are quick and easy to prepare. By going tried and true, I ensure that my day – and my overall week – is a success.
Expect the Unexpected - Face it, things happen that we don't plan for. As a teacher, I am one of those that ALWAYS has a Plan B in case something is not working in the classroom, and I'm just the same when I am doing a Fuel Cycle. I generally always have at least one easy-prep additional meal of each type that I can fall back on in case things don't work out. Often, this is something like frozen kai si ming (see page 331) or freezer burritos that I just tend to have in my freezer all the time anyway. But I like to know that there is something on-plan for the Fuel Cycle that can be my emergency plan if I need it! I also plan way more snacks than I ever actually eat, simply because I want the security of knowing that I have some choices. By expecting the unexpected, I'm prepared no matter what happens!
Expect the Expected – Expecting the Unexpected is great, but on a Fuel Cycle, it's really important that you also Expect the Expected! The Trim Healthy Mama book recommends not doing a Fuel Cycle until you've free-styled for 6-8 weeks first. There's a good reason for this: knowing how your body responds to different fuel types. When you plan a Fuel Cycle, you need to think about how your body will react.
For instance, when I eat Deep S, my body loves all the fats and finds them very satiating. The problem with this is that I sometimes don't eat enough on those days, and I get light-headed. So I always plan for very regular snacks every 3 hours, even if I am not feeling very hungry. I find the basic whey smoothie with coconut oil (page 243 in THM) to be a perfect choice for these snacks, as well as for when I've gone a little too long without eating.
For FP days, my issue is the opposite: I tend to be hungry more since the calories and primary fuels are so low. I try not to graze all day long, but I realize that the lighter calories of FP meals will not always hold me for a full 3 hours. So I plan snacks, especially things like pepper strips or cucumber slices, that I can eat as needed. And having a Fat-Stripping Frappe (FSF, page 240) a couple hours after a meal often helps me make it through the day. I cannot afford to allow myself to get TOO hungry, or I will not finish the day successfully. Also, since FP day calories generally run below 1000 for the day, I do not plan strenuous exercise on those days. If I do any type of exercise, even walking, I make sure to have a snack beforehand as well as right after.
E days, like FP days, are days I tend to be hungrier. This is normal for me after E meals, but I get cranky when I am hungry, and I cannot simply be hungry for several days in a row. So to help with the hunger, I make sure that I get plenty of protein with my E meals. I love fat-free dairy like cottage cheese and yogurt, and these items help me plan my snacks around a significant protein component as well. Just like with FP days, I make sure to have a light snack, like an FSF, when I need one. By thinking about how my body generally reacts to E meals (and S meals and FP meals), I can better plan for success on my Fuel Cycle.
Because of the restrictions on the Fuel Cycle, and the fact that I work outside of the home, planning well for the Fuel Cycle is crucial to my success. With these factors above in my mind, I make a menu that works for me, and I plan for a successful week as I cycle my fuels.
How about you? What are you best hints for success on the Fuel Cycle?
I'm linking up to Trim Healthy Tuesday at Gwen's Nest and Stacy Makes Cents – Come on over and check out all the goodies to be found over there!

The link is not working.. but they sound WONDERFUL… I would love the link to them!
Thanks for letting me know – the link should be fixed now!
These are great tips. I have a hard time just figuring out a regular week and planning is definitely the key. I just organized a bunch of recipes so that I can plan better. Love the snap shot of your freezer, I think I am a visual person so these small things stick with me. Thanks!

NRATV: Cam & Co.
At USA Today, Ricochet editor Jon Gabriel writes that the American people are angry about the deadly school shooting in Parkland, Florida. They are enraged by the failings of the FBI and the Broward County Sheriff's Office in stopping the killings. But progressive activists and mainstream media have zeroed in on the members of the NRA, who had nothing to do with those failures. Eliminating discounts for NRA members is taking sides in a culture war. It's bad for business and bad for the country. Jon says we will end up with blue companies and red companies. Everything will be divided along political lines. Defending a constitutional right shouldn't be controversial. Originally aired on Cam & Co 02/27/18.

Q: Showing $X_{(n)}$ is an unbiased and consistent estimator for $\theta$. Let $X_1,X_2,\ldots, X_n$ is distributed iid $\mathrm{Uniform}(0, \theta)$ with $\theta$ in being real positive. Show $\frac{n+1}{n}X_{(n)}$ is an unbiased and consistent estimator for $\theta$.
I have already found the distribution of $X_{(n)}$ and have shown it is unbiased, but I am stuck on showing it is consistent. I found $f(x)=\frac{n}{\theta}(\frac{x}{\theta})^{n-1}$. From there I found $V[X_{(n)}]=\frac{n\theta^2}{n+1}$. However when I try to show that $\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} V[\frac{n+1}{n}X_{(n)}]=0$ it does not come out to $0$. What am I missing?

A: \begin{align}
