New legislation affecting employment rights and responsibilities is introduced every April. This year, the development receiving the most attention is the introduction of the national living wage. But are you aware of other important employment law changes on their way?
National Living Wage is Introduced
As it is, there will be significant change is to be made for the lowest-paid workers. With the introduction of the national living wage on 1 April 2016. Workers aged 25 and over will be entitled to the national living wage rate of £7.20 per hour. This is from the first pay reference period beginning on or after 1 April 2016.
The national living wage is a new top rate of the national minimum wage.
Employers should check that employees' pay is not brought below the new rate. Because these can happen through salary-sacrifice arrangements, such as tax free payments schemes, taken off employee's gross pay, like childcare vouchers. Employers should also be aware of any pay implications if 1 April 2016 falls part way through a payroll period. You will need to know which date the employer must start paying the national living wage from.
National Minimum Wage Penalties Increase
The penalty for employers found not paying the national minimum wage will double from 1 April 2016. The enforcement regime is the same for non-payment of the national living wage.
Employment Tribunal Awards and Statutory Redundancy Pay
New limits on employment tribunal awards and statutory redundancy pay come into force on 6 April 2016. As it is, the maximum amount of a week's pay for these purposes increases to £479. And the maximum amount of a compensatory award for unfair dismissal increases to £78,962.
Employer NICs are Abolished For Apprentices Under Age 25
Employers will not pay employer national insurance contributions for apprentices aged under 25. This is part of the Government's drive to encourage employers to create more apprenticeships for young people.
Financial Penalties For Non-Payment of Tribunal Awards
There will be new legislation allowing tribunal enforcement officers to impose a financial penalty on an employer that fails to pay a tribunal award or Acas settlement sum. It is expected to come into force in April 2016.
Research carried out in 2013 showed that less than half of tribunal claimants who had been awarded compensation received the full award from the employer.
The penalty will be 50% of the unpaid award. This is subject to minimum and maximum amounts and a reduction for prompt payment.
Statutory Family-Related Pay and Sick Pay Rates Are Frozen
In fact, this isn't actually a change in legislation. However, many employers may be expecting one around statutory rates of pay. Unlike in previous years, there will be no increase to statutory adoption, maternity, paternity or shared parental pay rates in April 2016.
For now, Statutory sick pay will remain at the same rate that has applied since April.

Keratomas or Intractable Plantar Keratoma (IPK) is a common foot problem. It is basically a very deep and painful callus, which will not go away by itself. Its cause is basically abnormal pressure on the foot caused by misaligned metatarsal bone.
It is when one metatarsal bone is longer or lower than the other that the bone tends to hit the ground first, with more force than it can handle. Repeated such movements lead to a keratoma. Sometimes, keratomas are also caused by the wart virus, and can occur all over the foot. Even poor fitting shoes and hammertoe deformity can lead to keratomas.
Lasers are also used to remove the IPK where the only pain you experience is the pain of the anesthesia shot under the IPK.
Another option is paring of callus tissue wherein the central core of the lesion is removed.
In case a deformed bone is the cause for the problem, then surgical treatment is the best treatment choice. Once the deformities are taken care of, there will be no chance of keratomas occurring.
It is important to wear the right shoes after surgery or any other treatment option to prevent the recurrence of IPK. Wear shoes with sufficient toe box space and with a reasonable heel height.
If required, wear custom orthotics to provide support to the foot. It is always better to have periodic follow-up sessions with your doctor to check any recurrence of IPK or the presence of any transfer lesions.

Research indicates that 80-90% of all communication is nonverbal. Michael Grinder's delineation of the 21 patterns of what one can do with one's eyes, voice, body and breathing is a major breakthrough in communication. Pivotal to Michael's discovery is the emphasis on breathing. He is able to behaviorally answer the perennial conundrum of "How does the practitioner know if one has permission to interact with another person?" The second half of the book are some common applications of the nonverbal communication patterns. This book is a wonderful complement to the Facilitation Skills for Chaotic Times Flashcards as its focus is on the micro-skills of effective communication and facilitation.

Ehrenreich appeals to ethos by providing her profession, who she wrote for and even the name of one of her editors.
Alan Ma
10/11/2017 10:10:13 pm
Ehrenreich appeals to ethos through her experience in the jobs that she's currently taking, such as a waitress. She also tells us these experiences in great detail as she states that once Ehrenreich is done with work, she immediately heads home and types down any detail worth noting.
Alan Ma
10/29/2017 08:03:40 pm
Another instance where Ehrenreich appeals to ethos is through tlaking about how her book has affected people after writing it. She talks about the hundreds of emails and letters she's received on how her book has changed them and eyeopening to others. She quotes some of the letters and emails to support her credibility to the reader.
Damariz Ortiz
10/12/2017 07:21:08 pm
Ehrenreich appeals to ethos through her use of census data to give actual facts about minimum wage in the U.S. She also uses her own prior work for Harper's to establish her credibility.

Ehrenreich appeals to ethos constantly through out the book to backup her observations about the employees lifestyle
Drake Altman
10/19/2017 06:13:19 pm
Ehrenreich appeals to ethos constantly through out the book through her use of census data, and her experience with the jobs she first takes. Like the waitress, as she said she was a waitress before and isn't as fast as she use to be and isn't looking forward to the back pain she got from her job. She then says that after work she goes home and records any detail she feels could be important.
Abigail Bierman
10/19/2017 08:35:22 pm
Ehrenreich appeals to ethos by talking about her job and lists the name of one of her editors. She also appeals to ethos by using her past experience as a waitress to apply to her current situation.
Precious Ajiero
10/21/2017 07:01:04 pm
Ehrenreich appeals to ethos by including real life encounters at the jobs and her experiences. She also includes names and testimonies from people she works with her, in order to show that this is a real experience and enhance the credibility. She also includes census data to back up the information she says, which shows that it is trustworthy. Ehrenreich also uses her previous experience as a waitress to show that she is experienced, which adds to her credibility.
Maddie Nicholas
10/22/2017 10:56:38 am
Ehrenreich appeals to ethos by explaining her credibility of putting herself inside of this experiment to show her experiences and the experiences that her fellow employees have been through. As well as listing the names of her editors.
Sandra Thiongo
10/22/2017 05:06:08 pm
Ehrenreich establishes credibility numerous times throughout the text. For example, when discussing how she was aware of the low-wage lifestyle because of her upbringing, she listed several family members who had worked minimum-wage jobs. Many of the details that she was providing matched up with the testimonies from her co-workers (and others) and the facts or statistics (both in the text and in the bottom notes) provided, which helped establish credibility. For example, when talking about her pay of $2.43 an hour (with tips) at the Hearthside, the corresponding note talked about the requirements of paying "tipped employees" according to the FLSA, which supported her claims.
Carsynn Miller
10/25/2017 06:57:24 pm
Ehrenreich appeals to ethos in multiple ways. First, there is the credibility of her profession and actually living the lifestyle of the lower-class. Apart from that, she gets stories and actual human accounts from people who have been in this life-style their whole life. These stories are usually from her coworkers.
Precious Ajiero
10/26/2017 08:41:06 pm
Part2: pg 3~ Ehrenreich appeals to ethos specifically when she stated "I have a Ph.D. in biology, and I didn't get it by sitting at a desk and fiddling with numbers." This statement adds to her credibility because Ph.D. are high academic achievements, so the fact that she worked hard to achieve that, enhances her credibility.
Valencia Ajeh
10/27/2017 07:51:48 am
Ehrenreich establishes her credibility numerous times throughout the book. First and foremost she includes the experiences that she had at the jobs she worked at during the experiment. She also includes her previous work experiences like her job as being a waitress before this experiment took place. She also includes the experiences and testimonies of the people she worked with during the experiment.
Makai Coleman-miller
10/27/2017 08:38:57 pm
Ehrenreich establishes her credibility in the book several times. The first example of this is, she includes little, minute details that maybe a normal wouldn't include proving her seriousness in her credibility. The second example of this is, Ehrenreich providing notes including every wage and expense she had. Another example of this would be her stating that she has a Ph. D.
Justin Guzman
10/29/2017 08:01:42 pm
The author appeals to ethos by telling the readers that she is an editor and author of several books which establishes her credibility with the reader.
Dominique Daniel
10/29/2017 10:05:21 pm
Ehrnreich uses credibility in the beginning, the introductory section, to appeal to ethos by explaining her plan in the beginning, and who she originally got the idea for this experiment from, a credible source who formulated the idea.
Kirsten Arneth-Leist
10/30/2017 01:28:29 pm
Ehrenreich states that she is a scientist, mentioning her Ph.D in biology. There's also a quote on the first page explaining Barbara Ehrenreich is a best-selling author of sixteen previous books, building her credibility as an author.
Carsynn Miller
10/30/2017 05:53:56 pm
Another example of an appeal to ethos is on pages 153 and 154 when Ehrenreich introduces the readers to Melissa, who is also new to the job and is therefore Ehrenreich's equivalent at the time. The author also introduces others throughout the book and illustrates their story.
Jayden Stabler
10/30/2017 06:02:55 pm
Ehrenreich appeals to ethos by providing her profession and who she works for.
Ilias Clark
10/30/2017 08:25:28 pm
Barbara Ehrenreich appeals to Ethos by going out and doing this experiment thus making Ehrenreich herself a credible resource. She also states in her introduction that she has a Ph. D in biology which although may not have anything to do with the experiment shows that she is an accomplish individual with high intelligence.
Donovan Hall
10/30/2017 09:32:01 pm
Ehrenreich appeals to ethos by conducting the experiment herself, causing her to be her own reliable source. She also states that she has a PhD in Biology which shows that she is a smart enough individual to be credible.
Christina Green
10/31/2017 05:17:08 pm
Ehrenreich appeals to ethos using statistics and quotes in her notes from credible sources. This is shown on page 140 when she uses the Los Angeles Times to support her note
Cole Wright
10/31/2017 06:46:54 pm
Ehrenreich uses her past to appeal to ethos. She describes how she has a Ph.D in biology and has previous Journalism work. This adds credibility to her experiment as it proves she knows what she is doing.
Chidozie Nnaduruaku
10/31/2017 09:28:22 pm
Ehrenreich appeals to ethos by going out and doing this experiment. The fact that she lived life for some time as a minimum wage American makes her a reputable source for the information she provides.
Isaac Stobo
10/31/2017 10:07:09 pm
The main appeal to Ethos Ehrenreich provides in doing the experiment herself, that along with her previous journalism work.
11/1/2017 05:03:54 pm
Ehrenreich appeals to ethos by using her co-workers as credible sources because they have experienced what it is like to live and work at minimum wage. She also uses facts and statistics from different credible sources, because she is a journalist and want to check facts that she has learned.
Sydney Winters
11/1/2017 08:57:30 pm
The author expresses strong points of Ethos when she gives credibility, not only to herself, but to the others incorporated such as, her company she is working for, the workplace she takes on for her experience and the friends who live the minimum wage lifestyle full time. These evidence pieces of Ethos allows this book to be a much more reliable, primary source to turn to when wondering about the insight of borderline poverty living.
Kayleigh Everhart
10/18/2018 10:50:52 pm
Ehrenreich appeals to ethos by using her and her coworkers' experiences- the fact that they've actually experienced these things makes her more credible as an author. She also shows her credibility by naming legitimate companies, such as the one she's working for, and by providing factual evidence from credible sources. Not to mention her actual job as an investigative journalist makes her more trustworthy.
Hannah Lee
10/18/2018 11:17:40 pm
Ehrenreich appeals to ethos in many different ways. She first appeals to ethos by including her job as a journalist and explaining her education. She explains that she has a Ph.D. in biology to let everyone know that she was well educated. She also includes the names of the specific places (like Florida) and places she has worked at (such as Jerry's and Hearthside). Another way she further establishes her credibility is by including first-hand experiences of her coworkers. She includes their names, occupation, and a brief description of their life as a minimum wage worker.
Hannah Lee
11/6/2018 08:59:21 pm
Ehrenreich also appeals to logos by citing the sources from where she got her statistics and facts (that are located at the very bottom of some pages). For example, Ehrenreich cites the statistics regarding the number of affordable apartments from the Los Angeles Times (pg 140) and she also cites other sources such as the Washington Post (pg 151) and the Minneapolis Star Tribune (pg 170).
Kristen Rainey
11/6/2018 09:02:54 pm
Ehrenreich provides credibility to herself and argument by giving personal experiences, telling her profession in the beginning and education credentials. Also she gives many details when she's describing her jobs which lets her audience know she's not just making it up.
Grace Lawton
11/7/2018 06:04:23 pm
Ehrenreich establishes her credibility to talking about her job as a writer and how she is well educated. She also talks about having a Ph.D. in biology. She gives the names of the places where she both worked and applied and also talks about her fellow minimum wage workers by including their names and daily life struggles to make her argument more credible.
Grace Lawton
11/7/2018 06:50:21 pm
Ehrenreich appeals to ethos by citing the location of her footnotes. A few examples include the footnotes on page 127 (The Cost of Living in Minnesota), page 128 (American Civil Liberties Union), and page 140 (Housing and Urban Development Department).
Tito Omoteso
11/7/2018 08:41:30 pm
Ehrenreich appeals to credibility by mentioning her Ph. D in biology and mentioning her work with credible magazines and newspapers

Published in the Montreal Gazette on October 26, 2012
To this day, I vividly recall from my youth the sudden yet regular appearance of the local electoral lists on the telephone polls of the community. Who lived with whom, the ages of new neighbours along with their professions were posted publicly for all to scrutinize.
Whether federal, provincial or municipal, these rolls were scrupulously put together by two enumerators (one each from the two leading parties in the previous election) who sauntered from doorway to doorway in order to determine who was eligible to cast a vote in the impending ballot. Indeed, I did the same in my own locality at the time of the national election of 1972.
In that regard, I suppose it was with a certain degree of irony that I acted as a préposé à la liste éléctorale on the day of the September 4 Quebec provincial election. In that capacity, I made a number of observations during the course of a rather long, uninterrupted twelve hours.
The poll to which I was assigned was located in the Ste. Anne – St. Henri riding, not far from my home. We were three at our table for poll number 142: the Deputy Returning Officer (a very young, vivacious francophone woman), the Poll Secretary (an equally young woman of Vietnamese origin), and me, the Electoral List Clerk (a bilingual anglo of a 'certain age'). Of the three officials, as we all know, the Deputy Returning Officer is the most important.
The first remark I would like to share is that as prospective voters approached our table, they invariably headed towards me. As I was easily forty years the senior of each of the other two individuals attending the poll, this was perhaps not surprising. Endowed with a rather serious demeanor and appearance, it only seemed obvious to many that I would be in charge of the entire operation. With a somewhat wry smile, I directed them to the Deputy Returning Officer and her Poll Secretary who completed the task of verifying the eligibility to vote of the individual before us.
(above, the Electoral List Clerk)
My second observation was that, despite the overwhelming multi-ethnic nature of the poll in question, each and every person to move towards our desk was greeted in French, including by me. Although clearly not their first language, the vast majority of voters spoke an excellent French and were extremely congenial in their deportment. If, however, they spoke to us in English, they were gladly answered in the language of Shakespeare. Indeed, both young women at our station spoke excellent English, and spoke it enthusiastically.
Noting this unregulated linguistic harmony over the course of the ten and half hours that the polls were open, I could not help but contrast it with some of the expedient comments made during the course of the election campaign itself. Specifically, on multiple occasions, both P.Q. leader Pauline Marois and François Legault of the C.A.Q. described the linguistic situation in Montreal as 'catastrophique'.
That emotive assertion begs the question: "What exactly is 'catastrophic' about the language state of affairs in Montreal?"
Undoubtedly, we hear of late more English (and other languages) in the streets of the city. Indeed, the language is now spoken in areas of Montreal where traditionally it had not habitually been heard. Today, for whatever reason, English is often heard a little bit everywhere, even in the 'quartier latin'.
However, unlike my polling station experience, these are essentially private conversations taking place in very public settings. They cannot be controlled. In fact, it was the late Claude Ryan who once commented that a government can only go so far in attempting to protect the French language before compromising the very free nature of the society in which we all live.
On the other hand, if English is currently heard in parts of Montreal where previously it had not been, the same can also be said for the French language that is now commonly spoken in areas of the metropolis such as Westmount and the West Island suburbs. Happily, it would seem that the city is no longer divided by Boulevard St. Laurent into the outdated and unlamented 'Two Solitudes'.
And, for that matter, neither was my polling station table nor the others that were close at hand. It would seem that the young people of Montreal have found a way to go beyond the linguistic quarrels of their parents and grandparents, which is my final observation.
Now if only Pauline Marois and François Legault as well would come to realize that yet again The Times They Are a Changin'.

I noticed workers coming in with their pollen sacks full of gold/orange pollen, need to find out what is blooming right now outside of dandelions.
I removed 1 more frame from the 4th super. The 5th super has 2.5 frames drawn and filled with nectar but not capped yet. Once the population drops more I'll remove the 5th super at least and remove a few more frames of honey. The lower boxes seem to be pretty well used from that I can see.
I definitely like the Carniolans better than Italians.
Update: Goldenrod is blooming right now, it blooms late summer.

When The Hills returns in 2019 for a collection of New Beginnings, remember that the show comes with a handful of deep, dark valleys, too, and Heidi Montag's strained family relationships certainly stand among them.
While the show's original run saw Heids gain some ride-or-die additions to her life (she met her husband Spencer and forged a friendship with Audrina in the process), it also included the fraying of existing bonds — namely, those Heidi shared with her mother Darlene and sister Holly.
While Darlene and Holly seemed to want the best for Heidi, their wishes weren't always received warmly and ultimately amounted to some big blowouts and a nearly two-year estrangement. Whether Holly was making a scene at Heidi's engagement dinner or Darlene was trying to (unsuccessfully) mask her disappointment in Heidi's plastic surgeries, Montag family reunions came with their fair share of drama.
Thankfully, Heidi, Holly and Darlene have reconciled since the show wrapped nearly a decade ago, but will their union survive another Hills go-around?
Below, we've collected the six roughest rows between Heidi, Darlene and Holly. Relive 'em all, then be sure to check out The Hills: New Beginnings when it premieres next year!
Heidi Heads Home
It was a moment no Hills fan will ever forget: In Season 6, Heidi visited her family in Colorado with an unexpected surprise: a brand new face and body, courtesy of multiple elective surgeries (Heidi would later say the series of operations nearly cost her her life). Darlene tried to be diplomatic at first but ultimately chided Heidi for her impetuousness -- and admitted she thought Heidi looked better before the shift.
Holly Destroys Dinner
In perhaps her most infamous moment of the show, Holly — a proud party girl — had a few too many at Spencer and Heidi's wedding rehearsal dinner, a spectacle that ultimately concluded with Holly tossing some of her meal Heidi's way and staining Heidi's purse. Spencer and Stephanie chided their soon-to-be sister-in-law by pointing out how her behavior was inappropriate, leading to one of Holly's most unforgettable lines: "I didn't know we were dining with the king and queen."
Homeless Holly
When Heidi's sister Holly got stars in her eyes and decided to move to Los Angeles, Heidi warmly welcomed her sister to stay in her apartment, which she shared with then-boyfriend Spencer. Quickly, though, Spencer grew tired of Holly's crib-crashing and pestered Heidi until Heidi was finally forced to tell Holly to kick rocks. AWKWARD.
Darlene Doesn't Encourage Elopement
Before Heidi got the church marriage of her dreams, she and Spencer (kinda-sorta) secretly eloped. And when Heidi's mom found out, she couldn't help but feel hurt, leading to yet another truly uncomfortable conversation between Heidi and Darlene.
Holly's on the Hooch
As Holly's rehearsal dinner disaster proved, she certainly loved a beverage or two. But at some point, her drinking became a little too much for her friends and family to handle, and when Heidi and Stephanie sensed that Holly was headed down a dark road, they tried to intervene, encouraging her to lay off the sauce. It was a well-intentioned sit-down, but a particularly cringeworthy one too.
The Ghost of Heidi Haunts
At some point during Season 6, Hills loyalists will remember that Heidi and Spencer sort of evaporated into thin air: Spencer cut off his sister, Stephanie and neither Holly nor Darlene could get in touch with Heidi, who'd changed her phone number. Finally, Holly and Darlene tearfully resolved to let Heidi go and mourn the loss of their beloved Heids. Still, they held on to a small bit of hope that eventually, they'd reconcile (and they did!).

Think with me for a moment…
Let's say that I want to live in a big house. Well, it doesn't have to be that big, but what I'd like to have I can't quite afford – a couple extra rooms and a larger kitchen. Maybe an extra bathroom.
Currently, however, I can only afford something that's less than I truly want, so I have two choices. Live without a home or buy something that's affordable and put a little work into it.
Let's say I chose the latter. With the loan I'm offered I purchase a small house that'll do for now. It's practical and does the job – providing shelter as well as offering an investment opportunity.
Over the course of a couple years I spend a little, make some repairs, remodel the existing kitchen and bath. Spruce up the yard. Neighbors walk by and see the work and decided that perhaps they can spruce up their place a little too. Fresh paint, a new porch and maybe some new landscaping.
Then one day, a few years later, I realize that not only is my current home looking better than ever, but the neighborhood has gotten better as well. More people have taken it upon themselves to repair or at least tidy up their homes and yards. It took some work. Not just for me, but for everyone in the neighborhood.
The next year I decide to sell my house and with the profits I'm able to buy a house that's got more of what I want. It has a bigger kitchen, a second bath and a spare bedroom. I like it! It's what I dreamed about having for a long time, and had I not purchased my previous home, (and put a little work into it) I'd have not been able to create a profit. In fact, the neighborhood may not have even improved. Essentially, the investment paid off, not just for me, but for my neighbors. They can expect a profit because, over all, the neighborhood improved.
What happened with this theoretical housing model is what can happen with the 3C rail corridor – so long as Ohio politicians decide to, at least invest in a little something. I agree that we'd probably all prefer high-speed trains zipping in and out of town that could carry us to Chicago or New York in a matter of hours. But right now that's far too expensive.
And sure, expanded rail service in Ohio is going to take some investment. We'll need train stations, some new switches and we'll probably start by using some existing equipment. Just like my first house – it's not perfect, but it's a start.
And while we live with what we can afford, we add a few more jobs here and there. Our train stations attract a certain amount of attention and maybe some businesses pop up to support those traveling by train. It costs a little to maintain, but it's an investment. We're working towards a goal.
A few years later it's decided to upgrade the tracks and remove some of the grade crossings so that the trains can go faster. New technology allows for improvements that were not possible just a few years earlier. But, because we made the initial investment, we can now capitalize on the existing infrastructure.
Some may think that this is an over-simplified model. Perhaps it is. After all, I can zip to and from Chicago and New York by plane and I don't have to think about making an investment of my own.
Understand, however, that our airports have not been built by the airlines. And our highways have not been built by the automobile manufactures. Indeed not. Airports and highways are built through federal, state and local funding. These government funded facilities support economic opportunities for the associated communities.
As an example, might Experience Columbus find it difficult to attract conventions if Port Columbus were to shut down? Would our hotels find guests if they could only arrive and depart by automobile? Would our shopping centers and entertainment venues survive if our highways could not bring in visitors? Could UPS deliver your package if our streets didn't exist?
As a reader, you may never ride one of the 3C trains. Or maybe you will. But as a resident of Columbus, and as a resident of Ohio, you'll receive tangible benefits by having this city connected to a national passenger rail system.

Some time today, when the outcome of Super Bowl LI has been decided, Bill Belichick or Dan Quinn should get an icy bath from a Gatorade bucket.
The chilling tradition for victors made its first Super Bowl appearance 30 years ago when the New York Giants beat the Denver Broncos 39-20 in Super Bowl XXI. That wasn't the first mention of Gatorade at the Super Bowl and the first Gatorade bath wasn't about celebration as it was done as some chop-busting retaliation.
According to Gatorade's own historic timeline, the Kansas Chiefs started using the sports drink at the suggestion of Ray Graves, the head of the Florida Gators in the summer of 1969. The team kept the "Gator coach's aid" on the sidelines throughout the season, which ended in a Super Bowl IV victory.
Gatorade became the official sports drink of the NFL in 1983. The first Gatorade bath came the following season and it wasn't even Gatorade.
In 1984, Bill Parcells had little job security as the Giants head coach. His first season was a 3-12-1 disaster that concluded with the Giants making overtures to Howard Schnellenberger as a potental replacement. While Parcells would go on to forge a career that led to his enshrinement in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, in 1984 he was fighting to keep his job. The Giants had to win. If they didn't, he'd be gone.
Before a mid-October game with the Atlanta Falcons, Parcells told players if the Giants lost and fell to 3-4, he'd be fired. They won, but two weeks later New York was 4-4 and in danger of a losing record if the Washington Redskins beat them that weekend. As a move to get everyone's attention, Parcells picked on Giants nose tackle Jim Burt throughout the week leading up to the game. During practice, Parcells talked up Burt's matchup, Washington's Rick Donnalley, who had won the NFL's "Strongest Man in Pro Football" competition. After practice, Parcells kept Burt on the field for extra drills, letting two lineman smash into Burt at the snap of the ball.
One day that week, Burt had to hold 20-pound dumbbells in each hand and punch a padded wall in the locker room for 45 minutes. It was as much a strength drill as it was a show for the roster to wake up and pay attention. This game was important.
Burt followed his coach's orders, but leaving the facility one day he stopped in Parcells' office. In more colorful language, he told Parcells, I can take it. Let's hope you can take it when the time comes.
That Sunday, with the Giants' 37-13 victory coming to a close, Burt, without thinking much about it, grabbed the Gatorade jug. He walked up behind Parcells on the sidelines and dumped it on the head coach.
Proving he could take the cold joke, Parcells turned around with a wide smile on his face only to get doused by a second shot of water from an unseen player.
In 1986, Giants co-captain and veteran middle linebacker Harry Carson turned the Gatorade bath into great sideline theater. The Giants went 14-2 in the regular season and as they tallied more wins the Gatorade shower became a bigger part of the TV broadcasts. Late in games, with the outcome decided, air time had to be filled. Legendary broadcaster John Madden used the telestrator to draw up options for how Carson could sneak up on Parcells to execute the Gatorade dump. CBS even built a graphic bio of the Gatorade bucket, listing it's size and capacity.
At Super Bowl XXI, the Giants took a 33-10 lead in the fourth quarter. At that point, CBS started to turn its cameras to the Gatorade buckets. Later in the game, Carson went undercover. He snuck behind the Giants' bench and put on a yellow stadium security jacket, wearing it as he made the move to dump Parcells with the first ever Super Bowl Gatorade bath.
In the years to come, Gatorade, which is owned by Pepsico, became, and remains, the dominant force in sports drinks sales. Its ad campaigns have grown from the sweet wonderment of "Be Like Mike" to inspirational tributes to Derek Jeter and Peyton Manning. Today, for the second Super Bowl in a row, the company will use Snapchat to enable users to superimpose a digital Gatorade bath on video selfies.
The Giants' role in the history of the Gatorade bath remains a nostalgic sports story. Last year, USA Today listed the Giants' Gatorade shower in its top 50 Super Bowl moments, but the company makes no mention of the team when it lists its own history.

Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has said he welcomes U.S. President Donald Trump's renewed resolve to win the war against the Taliban and called his country "the front lines" in the global war against terrorism in a speech before the United Nations.
Speaking at the UN General Assembly on September 19, Ghani also appealed to neighboring Pakistan to engage in a "comprehensive state-to-state dialogue of peace, security, and regional cooperation leading to prosperity."
"There are over 20 international terrorist groups with an imposed presence on Afghan soil. The future of Afghanistan matters because we are on the front lines of the global effort to eradicate the threat of terrorism," he said.
"Though we may be on the front lines, the threat knows no boundaries. For terrorist groups who are harbored in the region, an attack in Kabul and an attack in Brussels, Paris, Barcelona, London, or anywhere else are equal victories," he said.
"President Trump's new strategy includes the disruption and denial of sanctuary to terrorists whose motives know no boundaries," he said.
"We welcome this strategy, which has now set us on a pathway to certainty. The Afghan people have looked to the United States for this type of resolve for years," Ghani said.
"The strategy consolidates all instruments of American power, conveying a message that the Taliban and their backers cannot win militarily. Only through political settlement can we achieve enduring peace," he said.
Ghani called on the Taliban, Pakistan, and all other neighbors and parties to the conflict to join negotiations aimed at forging peace.
"The Afghan government has proven that we are committed to peace…as demonstrated by the peace agreement with Hezb-i Islami," he said.

INJURED Severn Stars player Sam Cook will step up as assistant coach as the club builds towards the new Vitality Netball Superleague season.
Cook, who has been a fixture in Stars' defensive line-up for the past two seasons, will be working with new head coach Melissa Bessell.
"I am excited about taking my coaching to the next level," Cook said.
"It's not just the playing opportunities that you take in netball when a chance to coach at Superleague level presents itself, you have to take it.
"Having loved coaching the pathway, I am looking forward to the new challenge of working with players at the highest level of netball in this country.
"I have played alongside a lot of this year's squad and, as a result, hope that my leadership on the court will have gained their trust and respect to lead them off the court too."
Cook has been the Severn Stars Pathway head coach for the past two years, helping to guide younger players in the under 19 and under 21 set-up.
The 27-year-old is currently unable to play herself due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury in her knee back in September.
"I never thought that as a result of my injury I would end up assisting Melissa, however I knew that I wanted to be involved in some capacity," said Cook.
"With big decisions to make regarding my playing career, I felt this would be too great an opportunity not to take, especially under the guidance of such a supportive and passionate head coach."

I've talked about Pinotage before, but it came up again for me the other day when I talked about Gamay. Largely because Pinotage is really the best wine to drink if you're sick of Pinot Noir. After all, it probably should be. It is at least half of Pinot genetically, after all.
One thing I struggle with, as a human being though, at least one woke enough to care about this stuff, is talking about Pinotage and South African wine because the history of the grape and the industry in South Africa is, without a doubt, tied to Apartheid. While the diversity in the wine trade, is a good thing, if it came from a racist and horrible history in the country, should I support it? Does supporting it now help groups of people that were negatively effected by Apartheid? Are there enough native Afrikaans employed in the trade for this to matter? Those are all questions I've love to explore, but for today I'll be comfortable enough to say they exist and that it's something as an industry, we NEED to talk about. We
Hello, this is Mark Aselstine with Uncorked Ventures.
So I'm going to hold this up so you can get a good look at it but really the only thing that's important here for today is this little we're right in the middle which you probably aren't familiar with enough to know that it's a type of wine but maybe not familiar enough to know exactly what it is.
It's Pinotage and Pinotage is a cross between Pinot Noir and Cinsaut and so when we look back at the history of South Africa which is apartheid terrible stretches and buy everything that's been said about it and I don't want to lessen that by any extent here but we have to remove our-self a little bit and say that these people that came from Europe and ended up in South Africa they wanted to make things as easy as they could and they develop this grape which is the cross between Pinot which obviously it's in burgundy and Cinsaut her which is in the southern Rhone valley.
What came out is easy enough to understand, it was a hell of a easy thing to grow but when you got into the winery and you try to make wine with that things got a little more complicated so that sometimes on the nose you'll get hint of acetone you know which is the stuff you take your fingernails polish off other winemakers will tell you that it taste them like a wet dog.
After apartheid ended in the early 90s one of the things that happened was that a lot of people that were South African by birth said we see ourselves as a wine industry more as European than new world and pinotage in a lot of ways is very new world in the way that it taste it can be lighter and body but the tastes are very strong and it can be very forward and that they see themselves more in the European model of winemaking were and where they think they should be growing more International varieties.
More than one interesting thing is as in the United States especially when we've moved into the Pinot Noir and light or red wine categories we really struggled to create a secondary like if I start talking about Gamay the other day a little bit and I think that's one valid kind of choice.
I think pinotage was probably another and I think you know about the wine industry is that we have all these really important differences in how people look at you know what the industry should be and kind of what kind of grape should be grown and I think there's a lot of reverence to people in South Africa that lived through a terrible set of centuries really and then when they came out that they still have this native grape that they were largely cultivating on their own and so people are interested to see you know what will this do I plant in the United States but then you're also seeing it planted by people with vineyard space and if you have a couple of rows at the end of your Vineyard and you want to plan something unusual Pinotage can be a good choice and I hope this is a decent and some of the history of South Africa although to say that I think the history and the grape in this case are largely intertwined we shouldn't lessen that.

Fancy an Amazon Echo with that Thanksgiving turkey?
As Thanksgiving approaches, Amazon has set up pop-up shops in hundreds of Whole Foods stores across America. These stores will be pushing Amazon devices to shoppers buying their Thanksgiving feasts, as Amazon uses its new brick-and-mortar presence to coax people onto their ecosystem.
The strategy is simple: knock a few bucks off the price of a turkey to get people into store, and get as many as possible buying an Amazon Echo. Once Alexa (the name given to Echo's virtual personal assistant) is in your house, you've become a part of the Amazon ecosystem – and the company has demonstrated time and time again that it knows how to drive engagement in that ecosystem through the roof.
Amazon's share price has gone up by 50% year to date
SOURCE: Yahoo Finance
Suzanne Tager, a retail analyst at Bain & Co. explains: "They are making a huge investment to push all of their Echo devices and the Alexa platform in general. One of the most important pillars to growing brands has always been visibility and distribution, and they are trying to win the penetration race by getting more devices on the street."
Online spending for the holidays is forecast to grow by 14% to $1.7.4 billion this year – with Amazon predicted to pick up half of that growth. But the company's plan to push Alexa into homes is aimed at longer-term growth. Alexa will be featured on banner ads on the Ecommerce giant's online retail platform, and pop-up shops will appear not just in Whole Foods but a range of other places. It's a typically bold strategy from Bezos' company designed to maintain and further its lead in the smart speaker market. After all, Apple and Google are dangerous competitors.
Nonetheless, at the moment, Amazon is outpacing its rivals handily. It commands a 70% share of the smart speaker market, and, through Alexa and Prime, offers a host of benefits to users. Victoria Petrock, analyst at EMarketer Inc., says: "Amazon has really flooded the market with these low-cost devices to get consumers used to interacting with them. Amazon wants to lock up all the different ways to shop. They've got online. They've got in-store. And now they want voice."

G--Greens (e.g., broccoli, spinach, kale, etc.)
B---Beans / berries (e.g., black beans, garbonzo beans, blueberries, etc.)
S---Seeds (e.g., pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etc.)
The foods indicated above are loaded with micronutrients including phytochemicals and should be eaten daily. Oh, by the way, eating more foods high in micronutrients also reduces the appetite for calorie-dense processed foods. So make a mixed salad containing plenty of green veggies, onions, mushrooms, beans or berries, and seeds. Then eat your salad each and every day for optimum health and to aid in the quality and quantity of your years. Eliminate the food addiction cycle of processed foods with high sugar and salt and look the other way when it comes to the latest fad diet. By eating the foods described above, you will reduce your bodyweight and risk of heart disease, stroke, cancers, and diabetes. Stop taking prescribed medications that simply address pains and ills but don't get to the source of the problem--an unhealthy eating plan. The choice is yours to make.

Hand Waving
The appearance of potential impropriety; how tech companies directly helped the Trump campaign; and more.
Although this story by Bianca Wylie about a botched procurement and design process for an anti-harassment app comes from the city of Toronto, the problem sounds all-too-familiar. "The number of problems apparent throughout this purchasing process, from solution to design to vendor, is a reminder of how easy it is to talk about civic digital innovation while operating in a completely opposing and problematic way," Wylie writes. "One opportunity moving forward is to proactively invite all City ABCs to a procurement forum to discuss purchases coming up in the next 12 months that will be requiring IT procurement and thinking with Toronto's tech and civic tech community on ways to work on them. All the hand waving about tech in Toronto is worth nothing if the software the City ends up actually buying is bad tech."

The move coincides with increased public scrutiny after their use of personal emails for official White House business first came to light. (But her emails!) A former federal prosecutor told Heath the move "certainly creates the appearance of potential impropriety." (But her emails!)
Tech and politics: Sen. Ron Wyden has asked six manufacturers of voting machines what steps they are taking to safeguard against cyberattacks, according to a press release from Sen. Wyden's office.
Russian-backed Facebook ads targeted voters in Michigan and Wisconsin, Manu Raju, Dylan Byers, and Dana Bash report for CNN. Trump's margin of victory in Michigan was the smallest across the country; he won by a mere 10,700 votes. Wisconsin was also a close race, decided by only 22,700 votes.
Writing in BuzzFeed, professors Daniel Kreiss and Shannon McGregor argue that direct assistance from Facebook, Google, and Twitter was probably far more beneficial to the Trump campaign than Russian trolls. They quote Trump's director of digital advertising, Gary Coby, who told them, "I required that if people wanted to work with us, they needed to send bodies to us in Texas and put people on the ground because Hillary had this giant machine, well-built out with digital operations, and we're just a few guys and a big Twitter account," he told us…Google, Twitter, and Facebook, we had people who were down there constantly and constantly working with us, helping us solve our problems in relation to how we're using the platforms…If we're coming up with new ideas, bringing them into the fold to come up with ideas of how their platform could help us achieve our goals."
Snapchat hasn't found Russia-backed ads on its platform, but Reddit and Yahoo keep mum on the subject, Tony Romm reports for Recode.

Artisanal fisheries are extremely diverse when considered on a worldwide basis, although less so within particular countries. As a general case, artisanal fisheries are those in which fishermen operate from vessels of relatively modest size, using relatively inexpensive fishing gear and personally sell their catches to purchasers who might be consumers or middlemen trading on the local market.
In this report the regular data collection systems of the Departments of Fisheries and other government or quasi-government institutions such as marketing and development agencies are first described (Section VI). Most of the data collected by these institutions are biological and technical rather than socioeconomic, and generally they do not deal specifically with the small-scale fisheries of the country.
This article briefly describes the intensive multidisciplinary 3 year research project conducted by the University of the Philippines and ICLARM to document the conditions of the fisheries and fishing communities of San Miguel Bay (Philippines) so that these communities could be integrated into the development planning of the Bicol River Basin Development Project. The research project had three parts, biology, economics and sociology.

The United Nations has admitted it played a role in introducing cholera to Haiti and plans to give "material" aid to victims. More than 9,300 Haitians have died of the disease since 2010.
Friday's statement was the first time the United Nations has pledged direct financial aid to victims of the epidemic, which first broke out near a UN peacekeepers' base a few months after Haiti was struck by a 7-magnitude earthquake in January 2010, AFP reported.
Farhan Haq, a spokesman for UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, admitted that the world body had a "moral responsibility to the victims," referring to the 9,300 people killed and roughly 800,000 sickened by cholera on the Caribbean island.
Haq said Ban was developing a package that would provide "material assistance" to cholera victims and their families.
The announcement came a day after the UN acknowledged it had played a role in the deadly epidemic in the poorest country in the Americas.
For years, the New York-headquartered body had denied or been silent on longstanding allegations that it was responsible for the outbreak, while answering lawsuits in US courts by claiming immunity under a 1946 convention.
While the number of cholera cases has been significantly reduced from the initial outbreak, the fact that the preventable disease is still routinely sickening and killing Haitians is galling to many.
"The UN brought this sickness to Haiti, so they need to pay the country back. A lot of people got sick, a lot have died," said Michelle Raymond, who said her young son nearly died of the waterborne disease in 2013.
Another Haitian, Gerda Blot, said she and her daughter were hospitalized for several days in 2014 after drinking tainted water. "I spent a lot of savings getting well. And I know it is still out there, that cholera disease," she said outside her plywood and sheet-metal home.
Researchers say there is ample scientific evidence the disease was introduced to Haiti's biggest river by inadequately treated sewage from a base of UN peacekeepers from Nepal, one of the units that have rotated in and out of a multinational force in Haiti since 2004.
Cholera is caused by bacteria that produces severe diarrhea and is contracted by eating or drinking contaminated food or water. It can lead to a rapid, painful death through complete dehydration, but is easily treatable if caught in time.
