The Zetter Townhouse, a 13-room heritage romp in Clerkenwell.
Join the after-work crowd at The Hat & Tun.
7 Tales at Sosharu serves sake and Japanese-riffing cocktails.
Situated under the shadow of the Barbican and a stone's throw from High Holborn, Faringdon and Clerkenwell is one of London's oldest areas.
Steeped in history and home to heritage townhouses, storied markets, churches and cathedrals, this central-eastern pocket also has an incredible offering of trendy restaurants, pubs and coffee shops. London resident and contributor Brian Mulcahy takes a trip into the 'Soho of the East'.
In Dickensian times, Farringdon was notoriously the meeting point for London's pickpockets; period townhouse The Rookery channels yesteryear charm – minus the petty crime, but natch. Rooms are fitted out in traditional Georgian decor, wood panelling and antique furniture, replete with four-poster beds. For a quirkier take on the traditional, try The Zetter Townhouse, a 13-room boutique romp (and famous cocktail bar), blending vintage with a dash of modern functionality.
Standing on a site that's been used as a market for more than 800 years, London's largest meat market Smithfield is a must-go for the travelling locavore. Should the meat make your stomach churn, focus instead on the marvellous Victorian architecture – truly a sight to behold.
Perfectly perched opposite Smithfield Market is one of Farringdon's best breakfast spots, Ask for Janice. It's delicious and low-key fare that represents the best of new British cuisine: seasonal, fresh and local. If you get the avocado toast, be sure to ask for a poached egg on top.
Over on Doughty Street is the Charles Dickens Museum, occupying the scribe's former London residence from where he wrote Oliver Twist and The Pickwick Papers. Small and contained, the museum is a brilliant snapshot of the man whose work defined an era; go for the guided audio tour for insider details.
Along Leather Lane, you'll find a week-day market with stalls and food trucks repping a variety of cuisines from Korean and Vietnamese to Caribbean and Spanish. On a nice day, order lunch and beeline to the lovely, historic patch of green that is Gray's Inn Gardens. If alfresco ain't your style, try one of the restaurants that line Leather Lane: Kin for tastebud-tingling Thai street flaves or Tongue and Brisket for a delicious salt-beef on rye or smoked salmon sarnie.
It might be the legal and financial hub of London, but shopportunity abounds in this part of town. Seek out the 'Lady tailor of Clerkenwell' Susannah Hall Tailors for a custom whistle for him or her, and browse Clerkenwell's furniture and design stores, including the Zaha Hadid Design Gallery, showcasing limited-edition furniture, installations and artworks. Magma on Clerkenwell Rd does a neat line in coffee table books, edgy magazines, stationery and art prints and lest we forget, there is, of course, Hatton Garden, London's famed jewellery district, stocking every bling and bauble imaginable.
Looking for a mid-retail flop? Mosey over to Prufrock Coffee for an expertly made brew (their baristas are the sommeliers of coffee). Situated opposite a small park, the appropriately named Bench is an intimate coffeehouse offering single origin java and afternoon tea.
Should you have a thirst for something stronger, Clerkenwell has no shortage of libation stations. Located in a building dating back to 1720, The Jerusalem Tavern is regarded as Clerkenwell's best pub, while recently revamped The Crown Tavern still has a laid-back pub feel. Popular with the after-work crowd, The Hat & Tun places you in the thick of it, while self-proclaimed five-star dive bar Pimp Shuei has arcade games, kung fu movies on rotation and Asian-inspired cocktails.
Round out the day with a perch at celeb chef Jason Atherton backed Sosharu. Riffing on a Japanese izakaya, this Nippon-tinged den specialises in seasonal small plates, while basement bar 7 Tales serves an incredible selection of cocktails and 50 varieties of sake. For something a little simpler, Apulia is on hand for soul-soothing, southern Italian cuisine just like Nonna used to make – Allora!

Alesi Surgical secures £2.1m funding to drive commercialisation of Ultravision Funding to drive adoption via new distributor network
November 11, 2015 /0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by ALuprise_Admin
Alesi Surgical (formerly Asalus Medical Instruments Limited) announced today that it has secured additional funding of £2.1 million to drive the further commercialisation of its lead product, UltravisionTM, which was developed from concept to CE-marked device with backing from IP Group and Finance Wales.
The funding comes at an important inflection point for the Company. In 2014, Ultravision was awarded a CE mark, and the company appointed distributors in 25 countries. The new investment provides capital to drive adoption of Ultravision, which has already been trialled across a spectrum of the most commonly performed laparoscopic procedures in gastrointestinal, gynaecological, urological and colorectal surgery.
Ultravision is a substantial advance on current vacuum based systems, which have been poorly adopted because of their inefficiency. Ultravision uses electrostatic precipitation, a proven method of clearing vapour and particulate matter in industrial settings, which had not previously been used in surgical applications. Last year the product was awarded the prestigious Cutler Prize, which is granted by the Royal College of Surgeons for innovations in surgical technology. Ultravision is compatible with all major electrosurgical instruments.
"We have developed a simple, hands-free device that is unobtrusive in the operating room and delivers highly effective resolution of the issue of surgical smoke. Surgical teams involved in Ultravision trials were overwhelmingly positive, and the vast majority wanted to carry on using it after the trial ended," said Dr Dominic Griffiths, Managing Director of Alesi Surgical.
Peter Grant, Head of Healthcare at IP Group plc, said: "We have supported Alesi Surgical since inception, both directly and via our co-investment agreement with Fusion IP plc, which is now part of the Group. Over that period, we have been pleased with the progress that Alesi Surgical has made as Ultravision gains momentum and receives the interest and recognition it deserves from the surgical community. This next round of funding will allow the team at Alesi Surgical to further strengthen its sales and marketing activities as it seeks to take the product to market."
Finance Wales has made six investments in Alesi Surgical, alongside IP Group plc and the former Fusion IP plc. Ann Casey, Investment Executive at Finance Wales, commented: "Finance Wales has invested in Alesi, supporting it from its early stage research and development through to international market entry. The company continues to go from strength to strength. It has recruited a number of new staff at its Cardiff headquarters and is also making excellent progress establishing worldwide distribution networks. Ultravision has received some excellent reviews from senior clinicians and we're pleased to invest in this latest round. We look forward to seeing Alesi achieve a profitable trading position."
In parallel with the funding, the Company has changed its name from Asalus Medical Instruments to Alesi Surgical. Derived from "arloesi" the Welsh word for innovation, the change of name represents a statement of intent by the Company to continue innovation in surgical devices that improve patient outcomes and simplify complex surgical procedures.

At present my method of putting emergency call routing plans into action is to sign onto a telset using a specific login. This method works well when an emergency takes place during working hours.
However if there was, for example, a bomb threat out of working hours then my current method would become less satisfactory – I really don't want to have to walk into a building that is about to blow up just to log in a phone before the call centre re-opens.
As I don't have a laptop computer it would not be possible to dial directly into the call centre and activate an emergency procedure.
I'd appreciate any ideas that other people have implemented in this situation.
An idea I've been considering is to set up an emergency CCT which would activate if a particular agent group had more than a certain number of messages. In an emergency situation I'd then be able to phone (from a safe distance) and leave the required number of messages.
A disadvantage of this plan could be that somebody else manages to leave messages for that agent group and accidentally activates the emergency routing.
I was considering hiding the routing to the voicemail within a CCT (eg. make the voicemail option 3, but only tell callers that there are 2 options) but am not certain that this would cover every method of leaving messages eg. agents sending messages to directly to each other through the message system.
Any ideas/solutions would be gratefully received.
As the CC is working at times when you are not there. Could you not have a deputy with the authority to instigate the call routing in your absence. I used this method in a previous incarnation. Premises would receive a bomb threat every couple of months, I left a crib sheet with a trusted deputy with instructions on what to do.
Hmm - it's a number of years since I have been involved with this area, and I have always worked in centres which are staffed 24/7 (so someone always around to log the phone in on their way out) or that have calls flowing between sites so not been a big issue.
I assume that you are on one site, and that are closed in the evening.
Can you have a cct that checks to see if a particular id is logged in? For example, if you have a duty supervisor's log in that is always logged in during opening hours, as long as it gets logged out at the end of the day, a cct could check and go to the emergency routing if it's logged out when you open (ok, a supervisor may forget to log it in, but I'm sure they would notice no calls coming in eventually and test the lines!). Or the same thing the other way round; create an id that will activate the emergency routing if it is not logged out by staff before the lines open for calls (and get staff to log it back in overnight).
Speak to Aspect - unless they have changed significantly in the last few years, I always found my Account Exec really helpful. They speak to a number of users and this is the kind of tip on system use they should be able to help you with.
Speak to the people who provide your lines. Is there a message that you can record at the exchange that you can call them to activate?
Sorry it's not technically worded, or foolproof, but I hope you get my drift and it is some help!
Following Zoe's train of thought.
I didnt look at the idea that you are not 24*7.
Our Teleco were very good at emergency routing of calls. Get them to rout calls to a number that has a predefined message. You can either call them and have them do this manually or may now have DTMF controlled routing options.
Also from what you are describing this will have omplications with the Busines Continuity Plan (DR) for your firm. What are Business Cont' peoplease idea about what they want to happen ?
with a remote dial in and pin code.
The proceuder as I remember was.
to divert lines to a preset message/IVR facility.
be very surprised if Aspect didn't.
You can virtualise your call centre for free and have DR instantly anything happens.
We are almost 24x7, and have a security guard here during the off hours, so we use the login emergency routing on our Aspect.
Probably the easiest solution though is the use the Messages waiting for Agent group. Setup a phone number whose CCT says 'You have reached a non-working number at your company name' then wait silently for 5 seconds and then record the voicemail message for some unused agent group.
P.S. Another option I have considered is dialing into our network and using CTI to login the teleset.
Anyway, rather than using a web based access, they can also use a back door number to log on and off from any location.
Your telco should be able to provide DR. Based on the dialled number, any calls to number xxxxxxx route to yyyyyy . As an example, Energis offer this service. It can be initiated by a secure access site ( Web ) or by telephone.
How about setting up your scripting to automatically divert calls to the emergency route if a scenario occurs where the call centre is "within working hours" but noone is taking calls, (either all unavailable or all logged out).
In this scenario your system is making a balanced judgement - we should be taking calls but we aren't there must be a problem therefore divert calls. You might need a couple of other logic safeguards but with effetive scripts you should be able to do something without having to physically login.
If you are diverting to another site, you can look at emergency call plans with your Telco.

Intel details more Knights Landing Xeon Phi features
June 24, 2014 | 11:25
Tags: #14nm #hpc #knights-landing #silvermont #xeon #xeon-phi
Companies: #intel
Intel has announced additional details regarding its next-generation Xeon Phi co-processor, Knights Landing, with the promise of up to three-fold performance increase over its predecessor at a lower power consumption.
Based on the research carried out by the company during its aborted Larrabee discrete graphics project, Xeon Phi is part of Intel's Many Integrated Core (MIC) programme. Designed to combat the growing popularity of accelerator boards from Nvidia and AMD in the high-performance computing (HPC) market, Xeon Phi offers up to fifty physical x86 processing cores in a mesh-style topography with access to fast GDDR5 memory. Using these cores, HPC customers can quickly port their software across for acceleration without the need to use an entirely new architecture like Nvidia's CUDA.
The current-generation Xeon Phi add-in board already powers the world's fastest supercomputer, China's Tianhe-2, but the Knights Landing successor promises to blow it out of the water. As well as coming in a socket format for the first time and being able to act as the only CPU in the system where the current add-in board requires a traditional CPU as well, the Knights Landing platform will showcase some of Intel's most bleeding-edge technologies.
According to an announcement made at the International Supercomputer Conference this week, Knights Landing will come with Intel's Omni-Scale Fabric technology embedded. A high-speed interconnect, OSF is integrated directly into the processor's package and allows for ultra-high-speed communications - key to shifting data to and from the processor's many cores efficiently, and a major source of the claimed three-fold performance boost promised by Intel. After launching on the Xeon Phi, Intel will put OSF into its 14nm mainstream Xeon chips and, inevitably, some variant of the technology will trickle down to the desktop in time.
'Knights Landing will be the first true many-core processor to address today's memory and I/O performance challenges,' claimed Intel's Charles Wuischpard at the event. 'It will allow programmers to leverage existing code and standard programming models to achieve significant performance gains on a wide set of applications. Its platform design, programming model and balanced performance makes it the first viable step towards exascale.'
As well as OSF, the next-generation Xeon Phi chips will include up to 16GB of on-package through-silicon via (TSV) memory developed in partnership with Micron. The initial models will feature more than 60 processing cores based on the company's Silvermont architecture, with modifications designed to appeal to the HPC crowd, and boast more than three teraflops (trillion floating point operations per second) in total. The socketed version will be binary-compatible with current-generation Xeons, Intel has promised, meaning they can boot any existing operating system and run standard server applications without porting.
The first Knights Landing Xeon Phi parts are expected to ship in the second half of next year. Pricing has not been provided, but is likely to sit firmly at the 'if you have to ask' end of the spectrum.
Intel launches 72-core Knights Landing Xeon Phi
Includes stacked MCDRAM tech.
Intel launches 18-core Xeon E7 v3 chips
Fixes TSX at the same time.
Intel launches Xeon D system-on-chip processors
Aims to head ARM off at the pass.

This car has been in the family for 25 years. It is a numbers matching SS454 LS5 chevelle with an M22 4 speed, with bench seat. I have several original build sheets, and original window sticker. "Real Paper work, not fake" Also I have tracked down the original owner and he still has some paperwork. It still retains the original block, heads, intake, carb, distributor, cowl ind air cleaner, 12 bolt 3.31 CRV code. The M22 is not the original. I never got around to getting it painted because it's too much fun to drive as it is. Runs and drives very nicely. It is a solid car but not rust free. You'll find some small repairs if you look closely but would be an easy car to restore. The drivers side has the paint sun burned, trunk lid is also sun bleached. Hood is shinier but has chips and flaws. Roof paint also has seen better days. Interior is dark green, yes dark green, Some people don't care for the odd color combo but thats the way it was back in 70. The car now has a like new set of wide oval 14"tires on the original ss wheels. I'll be adding more pics of the engine compartment and interior and trunk floor. I can answer questions or texts, face time etc.Dave 651-431-0107Not interested in selling it before auction ends sorry.
I'll get a couple pics of the trunk soon. The car isn't a wavy bondo buggy, It's more like something you would have seen driving around in 1982. The front fenders are very clean, drivers side door will need to be replaced if it were to be painted. The trunk had a couple repairs done close to the wheel house years ago. Still looks nice. The engine was rebuilt in 1992 to factory specs. It had 69k miles on it in 92 now has 78K. The trans is in great working condition as well as the 12 bolt. I wouldn't be afraid to drive the car anywhere. Maybe could use some valve seals but the 454 is smooth and very powerful. Power steering was added in 92 but I kept the original manual box and pulleys. They will go with the car. I added a tach to it but never changed the speedometer. It had the non gauge SS dash. Has a am/fm radio.

El Príncipe Nikolái Serguéievich Trubetskói (en  Moscú, 15 de abril de 1890 – Viena, 25 de junio de 1938) fue un lingüista ruso y el fundador de la fonología estructural o morfología lingüística.

Biografía
De origen noble, era hijo del filósofo Serguéi Trubetskói. Fue un niño prodigio, que se decantó muy pronto por el estudio de la etnología y las lenguas de Siberia, los Urales y el Cáucaso. Terminó especializándose en gramática comparada y fonología. En Moscú polemizó contra el atomismo conceptual de los neogramáticos y asimiló críticamente las ideas de Saussure, a las que imprimió una concepción teleológica de raíz hegeliana.

Entre 1920 y 1922 enseña en la cátedra de lingüística indoeuropea de la Universidad de Sofía y empieza su correspondencia con su amigo y también lingüista Roman Jakobson. En 1922 es llamado a la cátedra de filología eslava de Viena, donde enseña hasta el fin de sus días. En 1928 Jakobson y Trubetskói ingresan en el Círculo Lingüístico de Praga, creado en 1926. En 1938 es expulsado de su cátedra de Viena por los nazis, apenas unos meses antes de su muerte por angina de pecho.

La publicación, en Sofía en 1920, de su obra Europa y la humanidad, en la cual critica el eurocentrismo, da origen al surgimiento de la doctrina del eurasianismo, la base ideológica de los proyectos de la Unión Euroasiática y Unión Económica Euroasiática promovidos actualmente por Rusia.

Su obra principal, incompleta, son los Principios de fonología, publicada póstumamente, en 1939, por el Círculo de Praga, un libro clave para la fonología moderna. La fonología actual (1933), Introducción a las descripciones fonológicas (1935) y La neutralización de las oposiciones fonológicas (1936) son otras de sus obras.

UN treaties mandate trans self-declaration
Posted on 18th December, 2022 by Clare Flourish under being human
The UN says trans people should self-determine our gender. If we cannot, we cannot exercise our human rights, and this is sex discrimination against women. So Victor Madrigal-Borloz, the Independent Expert on protection against violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, wrote to the British government supporting the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill.
Efforts to delay or dilute the Bill use falsehoods based on stigma and prejudice, he says. Passing the Bill is the government's obligation under international human rights law. Preventing violence against women requires protection of trans people.
In 2021, the expert made a year-long inquiry into gender frameworks, considering hundreds of academic papers, 42 submissions from member states, and dozens of expert consultations. He concluded:
International human rights law says gender identity must be protected from discrimination and violence. Legal recognition of gender identity by self-determination is necessary to deconstruct institutional and social causes of discrimination and violence. But anti-trans campaigners use stigma and prejudice to artificially create moral panic and perpetuate violence.
In 2018, he considered international human rights law to dismantle systems of pathologisation, stigma and prejudice against trans people. He concluded self-determined gender is a cornerstone of a person's identity, so protected by the human right to recognition before the law.
The UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women said States should eliminate intersectional discrimination, including on the basis of gender identity. It said the Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women applies to gender discrimination as well as sex discrimination. UNESCO says discrimination based on gender identity is unlawful. So do the UN Human Rights Committee, the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child, and other bodies. Self-determination is necessary for our mental and physical health.
The UN understands gender to include real or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression. Gender-based analysis transcends the sex binary. UNESCO says sex discrimination covers not only physiology but also the social construction of gender stereotypes. So a State should allow citizens to change their gender markers on official documents.
The UN Working Group on Discrimination against Women and Girls says that not conforming to gender stereotypes makes people, especially trans women, vulnerable to violence and discrimination. The idea that people can be sorted at birth into either male or female "unduly restricts freedom".
The European Court of Human Rights recognises a right to self-determination of gender as "one of the most intimate aspects of a person's private life".
The Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence Against Women and Domestic Violence defines gender as "the socially constructed roles, behaviours, activities and attributes that a given society considers appropriate for women and men." It prohibits gender identity discrimination. Here, protection for trans is inextricably linked to protection for everyone who ever had a desire outside their assigned at birth stereotype. Because that is how it is in real life: if authoritarians want to control people by enforcing gender stereotypes, they first must drive the trans people into hiding. Where there are trans people unafraid to be ourselves, gender stereotypes are subverted.
An EU directive, 2006/54/EC, says the principle of equal treatment of men and women does not just apply to sex discrimination, but also gender reassignment discrimination.
The Organisation of American States has 35 members including the US. Its convention on eradication of violence against women 1994 initiated its approach to gender-based violence. Since 2008 its General Assembly resolutions have condemned violence and discrimination based on gender identity, and the core state obligation of non-discrimination covers gender identity.
The African Commission on Human and People's Rights 2014 Resolution on protection against violence on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity (SOGI) says gender identity discrimination is forbidden under the African Charter.
He quotes the Yogyakarta Principles on legal recognition of gender identity, which were not a claim of right but a recognition of rights in human rights treaties. States have an obligation to provide a simple system for gender recognition based on self-identification. It should not require abusive requirements, such as a medical report, surgery, sterilisation or divorce. It should acknowledge nonbinary identities, and include children under the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Countries including Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Colombia, Denmark, Iceland, Ireland, Malta, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Switzerland, and Uruguay have abolished the need for a medical report. For people under 18, where their parents or guardians will not consent the court can. In Norway the lower age limit is six, with parental consent.
Anti-trans campaigners say that restriction on trans people is necessary to protect cis people. But the Expert states obstacles to legal gender recognition do not protect women. We should be judged as individuals, not as a group. Any restriction on an individual trans person must not be based on stigma or prejudice, but on evidence that it is the only way to achieve reasonable aims.
The Expert states there is no evidence that current restrictions on gender recognition in Scotland, which are the same as those which will be in England indefinitely, are remotely connected to protection from sexual violence. Trans women are not "predatory males".
The expert says "gender critical" ideology mimics patriarchal reduction of women to reproductive functions, and ignores feminist scholarship. A fraudulent or predatory person might pretend to be part of any minority in order to find victims, and that should not restrict the rights of any minority.
250m people live in countries which have self-declaration of trans people. 100m more live in regions within countries which have self-id by regional law, including Kansas, Nevada, Quebec, Baja California, Catalonia, and Tasmania. Nepal and Pakistan allow official self-id as nonbinary. The expert has no information that predatory men have used the self-id process for the purpose of perpetrating sexual violence. Where trans women are criminals, they have sought gender recognition because they are trans, not to enter segregated spaces.
So he calls on Scotland to enact the Bill. The implication is that England and Wales should do the same.
Sex, gender recognition, and the Equality Act
Posted on 14th December, 2022 by Clare Flourish under politics, trans
Could my sex be "that of a woman" without me being a woman? Could I be a woman, but not a woman according to the definition of "woman" in the Equality Act? Or does the Scottish Public Boards legislation only affect Scottish Public Boards (SPB)? The Outer House of the Court of Session considered that legislation again. The case may be appealed to the Inner House, which previously decided that the definition of "woman" did not include a trans woman without a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC), for the purposes of the Scottish Parliament's devolved powers to enact legislation on SPBs. But I have a GRC.
s9 of the Gender Recognition Act (GRA) says my "sex [became] that of a woman" when I got my GRC, and that my acquired gender for all purposes is female. Note "female" not "feminine"- sex and gender are conflated. The Scottish gender recognition Bill leaves this section unchanged.
But s212 of the Equality Act says "'woman' means a female of any age". The purpose of s212 was to protect girls: your parents can make a claim under the Equality Act for you before you become adult.
The petitioners in the case, FWS, claim to campaign for women's rights and children's rights. However they only campaign against trans rights. This time, they couched it as a loss of rights: a trans man with a GRC would no longer be preferred for appointment to an SPB. They demanded a "rigid biological definition of sex" so that a GRC would change nothing.
To enact the SPB legislation, the Scottish government had obtained specific devolved powers from Westminster. The Scottish government argued that the first FWS case only concerned the extent of those powers, and decided they did not include the right to prefer trans women without a GRC for appointment to SPBs. So the case did not affect any other matter defining "woman", "man", "gender" or "sex". FWS had won almost nothing. My GRC says I am female, so I am female according to the SPB legislation. This does not affect the operation of the Equality Act, which is yet to be decided.
The EHRC intervened, as the public body which supports Equality law. It confirmed the value of a GRC- the GRA shows there is no irreconcilable difference between gender and sex. It is not possible to have an acquired gender without an acquired sex. It agreed with counsel for the Scottish government.
The LGB Alliance intervened to say that trans rights are opposed to gay and lesbian rights. The Equality Network, a real LGB rights campaign group, said the opposite.
The judge looked at the first SPB case, and concluded (para 44) that its basis is that "sex" and "gender reassignment" are separate protected characteristics, not that "sex" in the Equality Act always and only means "biological" sex. The case is authority only on SPBs, not wider discrimination law or the interpretation of the Equality Act.
Then the judge considered whether a trans woman with a GRC recognising her gender as female is a "woman" as defined by the Equality Act. She considered the meaning of the GRA. It says my sex is female. A trans man with a GRC, his sex is male, "for all purposes". The language is plain.
She then considered the Equality Act. She decided it did not define "woman" as "biological woman". The word "biological" does not appear in the Act. It did not amend s9 of the GRA which says my sex is female. So, my sex is female. So, para 53, "sex" in the Equality Act includes someone whose sex is recognised by a GRC.
The petition was dismissed.
This may affect the vote later this month on the Scottish gender recognition Bill. A GRC is shown to be important. But I would argue that trans women can still be excluded from women's services if it is "a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim", because of the Equality Act sch 3 para 28. So the Bill does not, as the fearmongers would have you believe, let men in women's toilets. It lets women in women's toilets.
And, once again, the Scottish Public Boards legislation affects the jobs on Scottish Public Boards. A few hundred jobs at most. If there are more men on a board than women, and recruiting a new member a man and woman applicant are equally qualified, the woman should be preferred. The Scottish government wanted that to include all trans women, but the first FWS case decided it did not. Then they wrote guidance saying it included trans women with a GRC, and the second FWS case decided that, yes, it does. But there may never be a Scottish Public Board where a trans woman, with or without a GRC, applies for membership, a man applies at the same time, and they are equally qualified. All that litigation, over years, and it may not affect a single person. The hate campaigners seem to have a bottomless fountain of money for pointless court actions.
Abolishing sex
Posted on 7th June, 2022 by Clare Flourish under politics, trans
What would happen if the law no longer certified whether a person was male or female? Now, birth certificates and GRCs say what our sex is, and everyone has one or the other, even nonbinary people, or people with variations of sex characteristics. There are rules on changing classification. What if that was ended? Would it help create a world where children were not socialised into gender, and people could live without gender-based expectations or constraints? The Future of Legal Gender project has published its final report, together with several articles, to answer these questions.
They refer to reform as decertification. It is a proposal made to see what it might mean, rather than to solve a specific problem. They interviewed experts, campaigners and ordinary people. Possible benefits include subverting the basis of discrimination, supporting self-expression, and removing the legal burden of gender change. They asked about possible problems, and clearly anti-trans campaigners have been at them, saying sex-specific services, data gathering, and positive action against discrimination could all have difficulties.
Possibly, law could decertify sex as part of a neoliberal project to stop law and government tackling social inequality. The project wants decertification to be part of a social justice movement to support diverse ways of flourishing. It would need to involve greater public provision, not continuing austerity.
Law could still prevent sex discrimination as it does race discrimination. Most people would object to having a race legally assigned to them. Many service providers recognise nonbinary people, and law is increasingly gender neutral.
People consulted spoke of the need to dismantle male domination, violence, and gender based roles and stereotypes. Trans people could back these goals and still advance their aim for recognition of diversity. The Project says gender is institutionalised, rather than being an identity. It is a set of institutional processes rather than personal qualities. It affects people's values, patterns of wealth and power, and ways of interacting. They say understanding of sex is interpreted through a gendered environment. I say sex as in reproduction only matters if you want to reproduce, or have a physical health condition. Everything else is cultural. Most people agreed our lives should not be defined by the bodies we are born with.
A leisure centre manager said it was important not to assume someone's gender. When asked where the changing rooms were, they would say the men's is there, the women's is there, and the accessible room is there, and leave it to the customer to make the choice. However, when at the cinema I asked where the loos were, I was sent to the men's.
Sex inequality in the 19th century involved voting, property ownership, inheritance and employment. These legal inequalities have lessened. We need sociology to recognise and research inequality that remains, relating to poverty, work, violence, exclusion and social stereotyping.
Gender is a complex social phenomenon that produces the categories of women and men to shape people's lives. Decertification might make that shaping less rigid. It would undermine the assumption that gender divisions in roles or behaviour are natural, lawful or desirable, and support diversity. It might counter early gender socialisation of children.
Would it prevent "single sex" spaces? Many women's organisations rely on self-identification, not asking for legal documents or assuming that a person's sex or gender could be known from their appearance. They use risk assessments to manage potential problems, rather than expecting biological status as female to safeguard users. Single sex spaces can imply that the risk to women is from strangers, but most violence has perpetrators the victim knows.
They suggest that sports could be classified as in the Paralympics, which assesses functional capacity. What of positive discrimination, such as all-women shortlists to select political candidates? Applicants could be asked to explain why they fit.
We need data to show the inequalities and needs of different groups of people. People's experiences differ by social class, disability, beliefs and race as well as gender. Why is the data needed? More precise questions, such as "do you menstruate?" could produce more useful data. Any data collection is intrusive for people- the intrusion is justified if the data is used for their benefit.
Trans people can use a GRC to assert our gender, and that protection would be lost. However, I do not want to provide documentary evidence: I want my word to be accepted. I am a woman.
The project says legal reform can be part of a wider programme of change, one policy tool. It is a creative way of thinking big. The aims would be to end legally registered sex or gender, to help dismantle gender hierarchies, to support people whose gender leads us to be excluded or disadvantages, and to undo broader social injustice and inequality. For discrimination and the public sector equality duty there would be a new ground of gender. Employers and service providers could not impose gender stereotypes. Services could still exclude people based on sex or gender if this was done to address unfairness or safety.
The Telegraph report was merely mocking. "The census could ask 'do you menstruate?' instead of 'are you female?' to be inclusive of transgender people, a taxpayer funded study has suggested." Including trans people is not the only reason for the project's proposals, but they wanted to wind up anti-trans campaigners to hate the study as well as their usual anti-woke, anti-tax readers. A trans woman shared the Telegraph's hate screed on facebook, so I learned about the report. I am so glad I did.
Reform is unlikely to happen soon, but I am glad people are thinking about the possibility.
Sex, gender, and the EHRC
Posted on 30th January, 2022 by Clare Flourish under trans
Has the Equality and Human Rights Commission kept its promise to tell businesses they can exclude trans women from women's services? It's doing its best.
The Core Guidance for businesses is not yet changed, and the Statutory code of practice still applies, but the note on Gyms, health clubs, and changing rooms claims a difference between Sex and Gender, and could affect us in changing rooms. It was last changed on 13 July 2020, and was still visible- see web archive- on 6 April 2022, after the new, trans-exclusionary, guidance came out.
For anti-trans campaigners, trans women change gender, but not sex. Sex-based rights are for cis women. Therefore No Transwomen in Women's Spaces! It's a simple syllogism. But that's not the difference between sex and gender.
Sex is physical and gender is cultural. If you want to reproduce without medical help, you need a couple with a functioning womb and functioning testicles. If any trans person has a genital operation, or takes hormones, that's a matter of sex- their fertility is affected. But whether people wear high heels, skirts or makeup is cultural.
If a trans man needs a cervical smear test, that's sex, and if he has bristles on his chin that's sex too. But his choice to shave them is a matter of culture- gender, not sex. And who are the victims of violence, and whose violence is condoned, is cultural. Who needs, and who deserves protection from violence, and whose protection matters less? Culture decides.
The Equality Act says we have the protected characteristic of "gender reassignment" once we decide to transition, and calls us "transsexual persons". It makes no distinction between sex and gender.
So, what about changing rooms? Last year, the EHRC was confused about the difference between sex and gender, and this year they are confused in a different way. Before, they wrote we should be treated as belonging "to the sex in which the transsexual person presents". But I "present" or express my sex with my feminine hairstyle, clothes, and perhaps makeup. That's culture. I don't have to prove my fertility or infertility.
Now they say we should be treated as belonging to "the gender they identify with". But, I'm wearing high heels, a skirt, and makeup. If gender is cultural rather than physical, that's my gender. It's not a matter of "identifying with", it's just who I am. Or, I'm in jeans and a T-shirt, but my breasts (sex) change my visible shape, and I use the name Clare. My sex is ambiguous, if you really want to do a chromosome test, but my gender is female.
There's another change, and it relates to those "visually indistinguishable" trans women which we should all, apparently, aspire to be. Do you pass, girls? No? Work harder!! Deportment and voice are so important, and if your frame is too masculine you should probably not transition at all.
(Irony alert)
Possibly none of us are visually indistinguishable. Justice Ormrod thought April Ashley looked like a "female impersonator". Before, the EHRC wrote about these paragons' "preferred gender" and "acquired gender". Gender, cultural, even though having breasts- physical, a matter of secondary sexual characteristics- is part of passing.
Now, the EHRC refers to "the gender they identify with" and their "gender identity". Are you "visually and for all practical purposes indistinguishable from someone of the gender [you] identify with"? That makes no sense. I and a cis woman are both glammed up, make-up, evening gown with a slit up to here, "fuck me" shoes, very different from the second wave feminist in her DMs and crew cut.
If gender is cultural, the feminine woman and the second wave feminist exhibit different gender. And allowing trans people to go out into the world and thrive shows that we can express our true gender, so increases freedom for that second wave feminist, and everyone else.
Claiming gender is cultural does not help the trans-excluders make sense.
I am worried about the EHRC. It has been captured by Tory appointees, several of whom are trans excluders: Akua Reindorf, Lady Falkner. But this page, last updated 22 December 2021, is unobjectionable- it says trans women should use women's services except "in very restricted circumstances". The EHRC still has a lot of employees supporting trans rights, despite their board.
A Complaint to the Equality and Human Rights Commission
Posted on 2nd November, 2021 by Clare Flourish under trans
Will trans women be excluded from women's toilets in Britain?
Kishwer Falkner, Chair of the EHRC, has announced that they will issue new guidance claiming that businesses and organisations can exclude trans women from services including toilets and changing rooms. Before such guidance is issued, it is worthwhile complaining to them about Falkner's comments, referring to the Code of Practice and existing Guidance. Continue reading →
The Equality Act code of practice
Posted on 29th October, 2021 by Clare Flourish under trans
Trans women are entitled to enter women's services by self-identification. Under the Equality Act s7, we are treated as trans women- "transsexual persons"- from the moment we decide to transition, and entitled to use services according to the gender we present. That decision is before we see psychiatrists- years before, with the current waiting lists. So we self-identify. We have been entitled to do this since regulations in 2008. Self-ID is no new threat, but the ordinary law.
The EHRC introduced guidance in April 2022 contradicting the Code, but the Code still takes precedence. The code of practice on Services, public functions and associations reads as from a different time. It says, "The Equality Act 2010 sets a new expectation that public services must treat everyone with dignity and respect." Continue reading →
EHRC guidance on trans exclusion in 2021
Getting Equality enacted was not an end in itself. What matters is that businesses and public services should act and plan more thoughtfully and responsibly, that people will be treated fairly as they go about their everyday lives. The EHRC would advise and model this fairness, and enforce the law where necessary. Continue reading →
The EHRC excluding trans women from women's services
The Equality and Human Rights Commission has the power to make trans women's lives unbearable by permitting women's services to exclude us. Kishwer Falkner, chair of the EHRC, has indicated they will do this in January. Continue reading →
Excluding trans women without mentioning us
Posted on 22nd October, 2021 by Clare Flourish under trans
"We want to expel every last trans woman from every single women's service, and guarantee that none will ever enter again. We want to control language, so that no-one can acknowledge that trans men are men, so oppose any and all language that refers to trans male obstetrics or reproductive health."
If only the "gender-critical feminists" would say what they wanted clearly, there could be a debate. We could ask, who would this change in the law harm, and would it benefit anyone? Can we balance different people's needs? Are there conflicting rights? Unfortunately, expressing their desires so clearly would show how paltry they are, how little conceivable benefit they would produce, what harm they would do.
So they often couch their demands for exclusion in terms of "belief". No-one is sacked for "believing sex is real". They are, rarely, sacked for demanding trans exclusion or being rude to trans people, but more often the trans employee or customer will be driven away. I don't care about their beliefs, I care about their oppressive actions. Unfortunately they seem to have persuaded themselves that "trans woman" is a meaningless term, not distinguishing us from men. So they talk of mixed sex and single sex spaces, and women losing rights or access, as if women's loos were full of men.
On Woman's Hour, Emma Barnett interviewed Kishwer Falkner, the chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission. The website said they would consider equal pay, a feminist issue, but the whole six minute interview covered "guidance for preserving single-sex spaces". They did not mention trans women at all. Barnett, interviewing, was concerned that businesses would not be clear when they could discriminate against us, and so discriminate less than they might. Falkner hopes to report in January. It's clearly about trans women, to a trans woman, simply because it paints a picture of no women's loos being available in theatres, and businesses with customer toilets not knowing there can be "separate sex-based areas".
The problem in businesses is that the women's toilets often have the same floor area as men's, so that women queue while men's cubicles go unused, but they do not mention that. Of course there are women's loos in business premises, it's just that they accommodate trans women too.
Explaining this to someone who really does not see it is about trans exclusion, or is disingenuously denying that, is difficult. You have to translate. Falkner says the EHRC gets complaints from "experts in the field"- trans excluders- that "organisations' websites"- Stonewall- misinterpret the exception.
It is a non-issue for most cis people. Trans women use women's loos. So what. But they paint it as "relating to listeners' lives". It is true that there are fewer public toilets, but that is because of Tory public spending cuts, not because of trans issues. There is tugging on heart strings. Falkner says in one theatre "there was no single-sex space for women but for one toilet right in the rafters". Theatres have bars, so they need toilets. Falkner craves sympathy for "an elderly woman climbing long flights of steps". What if I were in the Gods, queued for the loo, then found it had a sign on the door saying it was a "single-sex toilet". But no, this imagined elderly woman climbed from the stalls because the stalls loos admit trans women.
They want to exclude us from toilets. They want to upend our lives. They want not to mention us- we should be excluded, like any other "man". Falkner says far more businesses could exclude trans women from women's services than do, now- except she doesn't, she says they could "use the exemptions that exist," an abstract phrase in an attempt to sound dispassionate. She won't anticipate the guidance, because that could cause legal problems, but she mentions the NHS, so we could be put on men's wards, and retail, so we could be not allowed to try clothes on before buying. All without mentioning trans women once.
"All we need to do is point out what the law says," says Falkner, and businesses will exclude trans women. I dread the guidance.
Framing it as a "women's rights issue" and not mentioning trans women makes them terribly self-righteous. The Guardian had an article headed "My hope for a more open discussion of women's and trans rights is fading". Tell me about it, I thought. But again the complaint was about the powerful trans lobby oppressing women. Kathleen Stock! The writer complained of Stonewall, Edinburgh Rape Crisis, Keir Starmer, and Carla Denyer supporting trans rights, but did not ask herself "Are we the baddies?" Her views are being silenced, she complains.
She had hoped for a "more open discussion" because of Forstater's Employment Appeal Tribunal case. All the EAT said was that Forstater's beliefs were not as bad as fascism, so she should not be sacked merely for holding them. She is delighted that the UK Sports Council tells sporting bodies to exclude trans women. In an article which calls for balance and an end to polarisation, she claims that "the fear of male abusers who could take advantage of self-ID rules is rooted in fact". Her idea of a "balanced discussion" differs from mine.
"Human bodies have limits," she says. No trans surgery! Children are under threat! And then, "My own understanding is neither fixed or complete". She claims an open mind, though her belief in her own righteousness is unassailable. And because she is merely "asserting her beliefs", she does not notice the people she would hurt.
She does not feel her beliefs are recognised as valid, but that is the wrong question. Should trans women be expelled from our women's spaces? What good, or harm, would that do? Meanwhile, if anyone advertises a "single sex space" I will take refuge in the Gender Recognition Act s9, which says that as I have a gender recognition certificate my sex is female. If they mean, "No Trans Women Allowed!!" they will have to say that.
Before Falkner, we had an Equality and Human Rights Commission. It was concerned for the rights of those who suffer unjust discrimination, and those whose human rights are breached, and worked to improve their rights. Now, Falkner says her organisation is for everyone in the country. So, she will tell businesses when they might be entitled to discriminate against trans women, and exclude us, because her organisation is for their benefit as well as for the trans women's. It will not stop there. On the same principle, she would advise those who do not pay women equally how they can challenge the evidence of that.
Anti-trans discrimination and the Explanatory Notes to the Equality Act
Posted on 9th October, 2021 by Clare Flourish under trans
Can a group counselling session simply kick out any trans women, because the organisers think the cis women would not want them there?
Having lost on the meaning of the Equality Act, the anti-trans campaigners are now arguing on the basis of the explanatory notes. The lies they tell each other have a real world effect, inflaming resentment against trans women, and at worst violence against us. The explanatory notes do not say what the haters claim, but then, the statute did not say what the haters claimed either, and that did not stop them.
Under schedule 3 paragraph 28, a women's service can exclude trans women if it is "a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim" (PMOALA). This is a phrase used over and over again, with a great deal of case law defining it. There is an explanatory note saying any exclusion has to be "objectively justified", which puts it in slightly less formal language but adds nothing. The note explains that this replaces a provision in the Sex Discrimination Act, but does not say which, so is of little use. That provision was added by regulations, as in 1975 the Sex Discrimination Act did not mention trans people. A note further on says that a halal butcher does not have to sell kosher meat, but only a Jew can sell kosher meat.
Then the note gives an example:
A group counselling session is provided for female victims of sexual assault. The organisers do not allow transsexual people to attend as they judge that the clients who attend the group session are unlikely to do so if a male-to-female transsexual person was also there. This would be lawful.
The organisers in this case don't bother asking any service users, they just make a decision themselves. They have a set rule against trans women which they apply if any trans woman asks to join. They think no cis women would attend, rather than thinking possibly one or two cis women would cease attending. It all seems fairly unlikely. Many cis women are trans allies. Acting for the service, I would want better evidence to exclude a trans woman than that.
There has to be a legitimate aim. The organisers' aim would be to support cis women recovering from sexual assault, but the service users might continue coming and value the trans woman's contribution. Even if one of the cis women is a transphobe, and would not attend because there was a trans woman there, it is still unlawful discrimination to choose the cis woman over the trans woman. If no cis woman service user would attend, the provider should still try to persuade them to accept the trans woman.
This is a service for survivors of sexual assault. Clearly a toilet or changing room should accommodate trans women.
Explanatory notes are written by civil servants. The Act has been debated in parliament, and amendments considered in committee. The notes have not. Imagine an executive officer having ten minutes to think of an example, and it getting a cursory read-over from a higher executive officer. The aim might have been to show that nothing less personal and intimate, no service users less vulnerable, would justify exclusion. Nevertheless where the statute is ambiguous, or if it can cast light on the "scene" of the statute, the notes might be used as an aid to help interpret the Act.
All the example shows is that where women are talking about something particularly personal, where traumatised women are vulnerable, there might in theory be an argument for excluding a trans woman. But that is only relevant if the statute is ambiguous. There is a great deal of case law on the meaning of PMOALA. A common example is requiring an engineering degree for job applicants. That would be indirect discrimination against women, because more men than women have an engineering degree. PMOALA is a defence if the employer can prove it: it would have to be a legitimate aim, to prove that the applicant had knowledge necessary for the job, and it would have to be a proportionate means, so that the knowledge could not be demonstrated any other way.
So you would have to balance the needs of the vulnerable trans woman with the needs of any cis woman who objected. If the organisers think cis women might not like to be in a group with a trans woman, rather than excluding the trans woman the alternative means is to speak to the cis women and explain to them that the trans woman is not a threat.
So it is not the case that it is "appropriate for spaces to be exclusively reserved to those born female", as an anti-trans campaigner said in the New Statesman this week. He claimed this was according to the Equality Act, even though his interviewee told him service providers can exclude trans women on a case-by-case basis.
Such misinformation incites resentment against trans women, and in the worst cases violence.

The Board of Directors of the International Food Information Council (IFIC) on September 15 elected David B. Schmidt to succeed Sylvia Rowe as IFIC president and chief executive officer. Rowe has announced her plans to retire at the end of the year, after 11 years of leadership.
Among Rowe's many accomplishments during her career at IFIC and the IFIC Foundation include the development of Kidnetic.com, an interactive nutrition and physical activity web site for children and their families to help address childhood obesity. She also pioneered the groundbreaking Food for Thought media research and Improving Public Understanding; Guidelines for Communicating Emerging Science on Nutrition, Food Safety, and Health in partnership with the Harvard School of Public Health. Rowe's understanding of and leadership on food issues in the U.S. and international arenas helped forge partnerships with leading health professional, government, academic and consumer organizations and led to her becoming one of the most world-renown speakers, making science communications understandable for consumers.
Schmidt, who currently serves as an executive vice president of IFIC, will assume his new role January 1, 2006.
Schmidt, who will also serve as CEO of the IFIC Foundation, announced that Susan T. Borra, RD, is being promoted to President of the IFIC Foundation, the educational arm of IFIC. This role, effective January 1, will be in addition to her current role as Executive Vice President of IFIC.
Schmidt has been with IFIC for 12 years, with initial responsibility for IFIC's food safety programs. He currently leads IFIC's activities in nutrition communication, international relations and media outreach.
Prior to joining IFIC, Schmidt served as director of external affairs for the Food Safety and Inspection Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. There he addressed a number of controversial food safety and nutrition issues, and managed the inspection agency's media, legislative and consumer education programs. Schmidt also gained a thorough understanding of the food industry in previous sales positions with leading food and beverage firms Oscar Mayer Foods, Pepsi-Cola USA and Canada Dry Corp.
In 1998, Schmidt was named as an adjunct fellow with the Georgetown Center for Food and Nutrition Policy in Washington, D.C. He also serves on the National Advisory Board of the Center for Risk Communication Research at the University of Maryland and participated on the steering committee on Reinventing Agricultural Education for the Year 2020.
Borra has also been with IFIC for 12 years and currently serves as executive vice president, with broad expertise in nutrition and current responsibility for food safety programs. Additionally, she plays a key role in directing the IFIC Foundation, of which Rowe is currently president and CEO.
Borra is past-president and secretary/treasurer of the American Dietetic Association (ADA) as well as past chairman of the ADA Foundation. In addition, she is active with the American Heart Association and the Society for Nutrition Education. Borra also served as a member on the Subcommittee on Interpretation and Uses of Dietary Reference Intakes of the National Academy of Sciences.
Prior to joining IFIC, Borra was director of consumer affairs at the Food Marketing Institute, where she managed nutrition, food safety and consumer affairs programs for the retail food industry.

Spoiler alert: Nothing goes awry, and that's very much a good thing.
Since Tesla doesn't offer up its own video in large supply, it's up to owners to give the public the coverage they want of the Model 3. Thankfully, plenty of people are filming.
InsideEVs turned our attention to this video, which is one of the longest videos showing the Model 3's Autopilot system in action. It takes place on a highway, and it functions as expected, so the car just serenely cruises in a single lane with minimal movement. That's not necessarily exciting from a watching standpoint, but when excitement involves peril, tedium is fine by me.
It also gives us yet another look at the Model 3's infotainment system. The map occupies most of the right side of the screen, with the audio just below it. The left side is devoted entirely to the driver -- it displays the speed, the speed limit and the status of the Autopilot system.
Tesla's Enhanced Autopilot Package, which offers semi-autonomous capability, adds $5,000 to the Model 3's MSRP. It also offers a $3,000 package that will -- one day -- enable full self-driving capability. Options like these can send a Model 3's price well north of that magical $35,000 figure.

How Microsoft's Azure Outage Will Affect Its SLAs
Aug 19, 2014, 7:30am
Microsoft's Azure cloud service suffered a lengthy outage this morning in many locations — one which might trigger the right to claim credits under its service level agreements (SLAs) which guarantee uptime of 99.9% or more. Here's what you need to know.
The outage
As Microsoft explained on its service update page:
Starting at 18 Aug 2014 17:49 UTC, we are experiencing an interruption to Azure Services, may include Cloud Services, Virtual Machines Websites, Automation, Service Bus, Backup, Site Recovery, HDInsight, Mobile Services, StorSimple and possible other Azure Services in multiple regions. Customers began to experience service restoration as updates were deployed across the affected environment.
Those updates didn't affect every region and every service, but did impact numerous Azure options. Particularly concerning would have been outages in Azure's virtual machine capability, as that's one of the most widely used features. Only two regions escaped that outage: US South Central and Asia Pacific Southeast (Singapore). Australian Azure users who had chosen Asia Pacific rather than US sites (while we all wait for the local Azure centres to open) thus may not have been impacted as much. Even customers using Hong Kong should have been automatically failed over to the Singapore centre.
So how long did the outage last? It was almost two hours between when Microsoft first announced the outage and when it said that customers began to experience service restoration. The exact figures are likely to have been different in every case, but outages of 120 minutes or more are certainly possible, and outages of more than 30 minutes for affected customers seem extremely likely. The exact length turns out to be important when we come to consider the SLA.
The SLAs
The exact SLA which applies to Azure services varies; this complete list shows that 99.9% applies to most options. General compute has a 99.95% SLA, and some storage and directory services have a 99.99% SLA.
In a 31-day month, a 99.9% uptime means 44 minutes of outage before the SLA kicks in. 99.95% gives you just 22 minutes, and 99.99% means under 5 minutes. So if the outage ran for more than 44 minutes — which seems to be the case for many customers — then customers are entitled to apply for service credits on everything. Possibly.
Again the terms vary between services, but the following extract shows that process is generally quite convoluted:
To submit a Claim, Customer must contact Customer Support and provide notice of its intention to submit a Claim. Customer must provide to Customer Support all reasonable details regarding the Claim, including but not limited to, detailed descriptions of the Incident(s), the duration of the Incidents, the affected Protected Items and any attempts made by Customer to resolve the Incident. In order for Microsoft to consider a Claim, Customer must submit the Claim, including sufficient evidence to support the Claim, by the end of the billing month following the billing month in which the Incident which is the subject of the Claim occurs. Microsoft will use all information reasonably available to it to validate Claims and make a good faith judgment on whether the SLA and Service Levels apply to the Claim.
In other words: until Microsoft comes out with a more definitive update on what has happened, it's hard to say whether an SLA claim for credits will kick in. Take screenshots and note times, but save ringing customer support until that statement emerges (which will almost certainly be in the next day or so, unless a secondary problem emerges).
There's a chance Microsoft will use an "it was an external fault" clause to try and ignore the SLA, but given that it has said updates were deployed to fix the issue, a software fault seems indicated. (It might potentially be related to the failed patches for Windows released last week.) We'll update as new information emerges.

The spectacular facilities of Vintners' Hall are enjoyed by our members at various Vintners' Company events throughout the year.
The work of the Vintners' Foundation, the Company's charity, aims to support charities, predominately in the Greater London area, which provide assistance to those suffering from alcohol dependence, and their families.
Education is a key area of the Foundation's work especially where those affected are from deprived backgrounds.
The Company is fortunate among Livery Companies, not only because its ancient trade continues to flourish but also because over 30% of its members are drawn from its trade.
Close contact is maintained with all wine trade organisations and it is the Company's policy to provide both material and financial support for the trade. Particular emphasis is placed on the maintenance of professional standards and the encouragement of trade education through scholarships and bursaries.
The Vintners' Company's ancient right to own swans dates back over 900 years and the annual event of 'Swan Upping' takes place in the third week of July. Originally this was a way of allocating ownership of swans, a prized bird eaten at many feasts.
Ownership was a sign of status and importance, but now Swan Upping is about counting and checking the health of the birds as well as educating people about the importance of Swan Upping and swan conservation.
