Equal pay for equal work is the concept of labor rights by the help of which women and men are granted equal pay for the same type of job in the workplace.
Women earn 77 cents for every dollar earned by men globally. As a matter of consequence, there's a huge income inequality between men and women.
Furthermore, many women are retiring into poverty. Unfortunately, this gender pay gap and inequality in average wages persists in all countries across the world.
The main reason for this is that women's work is undervalued, even if the work itself requires equal or more efforts and skills. Notably, for mothers, immigrant women and women of color, the gender pay gap widens. Why don't women get equal pay for equal work?
The concept of equal pay for equal work
What does equal pay for equal work mean? In general, this addresses situations in which men and women do the same work and indicates that men and women should receive equal pay when doing the same job. Essentially, the same kind of work involves about the same levels of responsibility, skills, efforts and working conditions.
Equal pay for equal work is most commonly used in the context of gender discrimination when speaking about gender pay gap. Some developed countries have moved a step further in comparison to other countries in addressing the issue.
It was revolutionary in the US when President John F. Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act of 1963, which made it illegal to pay men and women working in the same place different salaries for similar activities.
For a long period, women were paid less than their male counterparts for the same work. And the main reason for this lies in common gender stereotypes.
This concept arose during the first-wave feminism, with its early efforts for equal pay for equal work. Following the Second World War, the legislatures of some developed countries started to adopt the principle of equal pay for equal work.
To bring an example of this process in the UK, let's remember the introduction of the Equal Pay Act 1970, following the Treaty of Rome and the Ford sewing machinists strike of 1968.
The statement on equal pay is the 1951 Equal Remuneration Convention (a United Nations body). According to the Convention,
Each Member shall, by means appropriate to the methods in operation for determining rates of remuneration, promote and, in so far as is consistent with such methods, ensure the application to all workers of the principle of equal remuneration for men and women workers for work of equal value.
Equal pay for equal work is discussed in Article 7 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. This topic is also covered in Article 4 of the European Social Charter and Article 15 of African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights.
What stands behind the gender pay gap?
It is noteworthy that the social and cultural standards and norms that determine men's roles as decision-makers and women's roles as carers, play a critical role in terms of how that work is valued and rewarded.
Furthermore, in some workplaces where women have equal or even better qualifications than men, their abilities are not valued the same as men's, which results in slower career progression.
If we want to ensure "equal pay for equal work", we need to address the fact that a job in the male-dominated sector may be of the similar value as a job in the female-dominated sector.
Yet, the job in the female-dominated sector will be less paid. In short, the way we value and see various types of jobs has to change. This has been recognized even in 1951 by the International Labor Organization Convention 100.
Even though women in male-dominated sectors generally earn more than those in female-dominated industries, the gender pay gap persists in all spheres. As it is estimated, female managers in the financial services sector in the United Kingdom, earn up to 39.5 percent less than their male colleagues.
As a 2016 study of the International Labor Organization shows, in high and upper-middle income countries, the female workforce is mainly concentrated in nursing, health care, teaching, office and administrative work and some other industries.
Because of the high numbers of women, these sectors tend to be undervalued and underpaid. The majority of the women around the world who work in the informal economy, lack safe working conditions, health care, decent wages, maternity protection or paid leave.
It is important to note that racial and other types of discrimination play a significant role in widening the gender pay gap as well. As a study shows, women of color earn 79 cents for every dollar earned by black men and about 68 cents for every dollar earned by white women.
What are the impacts of wage gap?
The permanent failure in addressing inequality and discrimination in the labor market adds to the already high number of working poor women. As it was proved the number of elderly women living in poverty is increasing around the world because of her pension's gap during her retirement.
Today approximately 40 percent of women do not contribute to social protection measures, such as maternity protection schemes, pension, accident insurance and more.
These and many other factors endanger the fulfillment of the sustainable development that calls to end poverty and hunger, achieve gender equality and promote health for all at all ages.
As some reports show, the wages of women comprise only 79% of what a man earns, which means that for each $5 a man makes, a woman earns less than $4. Furthermore, for women of color, the pay gap is even more abrupt. On average, African American women are paid only 60 cents on the dollar compared to white men, whereas Latinas are paid only 55 cents.
As women get older, the gender pay gap only worsens as women over 35 earn only 76% of what their male counterparts earn at their age, no matter how educated a woman is. Moreover, women with a graduate degree earn $5,000 less than men with bachelor's degree.
What actions are needed to overcome the gender pay gap and achieve equal pay for equal work?
One of the most effective methods to close gender pay gap is through minimum living wages that will benefit all low paid workers. Because women are overrepresented in low paid workplaces, this would benefit them more dramatically.
For instance, recently Germany introduced a national minimum wage in order to decrease gender wage gap.
This needs to be supported by the universal social protection that implies paid maternity leave, income security to the underemployed, child care, adequate pensions in retirement and other social and healthcare support.
Laws and regulations in the US
According to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 of the US, it is illegal to discriminate on the basis of color, race, religion, national origin, or sex. This law demands that employers reasonably accommodate employees' religious practices unless it would impose a hardship on the operation of the employer's business.
The Pregnancy Discrimination Act is the law that makes it illegal to discriminate against a woman because of childbirth, pregnancy or a medical condition related to that.
The Equal Pay Act of 1963 (EPA) is the popular law that makes it illegal to pay different salaries to men and women if they perform equal skills and abilities in the same workplace. The next law, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA), protects people from discrimination because of age.
Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, is the law that makes it illegal to discriminate against a qualified person with a disability in state and local governments as well as in the private sector.
According to this law, employers must reasonably accommodate the physical or mental limitations of the qualified employee with a disability, unless that would impose a hardship on the operation of the business.
Iceland's example
For nearly a decade, Iceland has been rated the most gender-equal country in the world. It was the first country to directly elect a female president. Not to mention that about half its MPs and company directors are women.
As Fríða Rós Valdimarsdóttir, now the chair of the Icelandic Women's Rights Association, once noted she was surprised to learn that male colleague in other departments, with far fewer responsibilities than her, were being paid a great deal more.
For decades it has been illegal for jobs that are worth the same, to pay women and men differently because of gender. However, it still and despite an equal pay act that goes back to 1961, Icelandic women still earn, approximately 14% to 20% less than men.
Many campaign groups backed a plan that made Iceland the first country in the world to legally enforce equal pay. The country showed that it is world's best place to be a female being the world's most gender-equal country. Don't you think that other countries should follow the example?
In Iceland, any public or private body that will employ more than 25 people that haven't been certified as paying equal wages for work of equal value will face daily fines. The standards that Iceland adopted are designed to eliminate factors that are irrelevant by law, such as gender inequality or discrimination by race and disability.
Indeed, legislation can impact attitudes and behavior and the Icelandic model could also be adopted by other countries that are seeking to end injustice concerning women.
Over 120 years have passed after the issue of equal pay for equal work was first raised. Still, unequal pay remains a critical reason for lower wages of women and their poverty in old age.
In the 21st century, women can still expect to be paid less than men. Even though the law has made a big difference and the wage gap has declined, it still remains very difficult for women to obtain equal pay. So, it's high time to realize the deeply rooted issues of inequality in the workplace and make some huge steps forward.

Last weekend my youngest daughter went to a formal school dance. It was the annual Daddy Daughter Dance at Rhenish High and we decided she would get an alone night with her dad, and her sister and her could share him the following year.
For once we were actually prepared and went shopping 2 weeks prior to the dance. By some wonderful miracle we found the dress in the first 30 minutes at the first shop. I hate shopping even more than I hate cleaning up vomit which gives you an idea of how not fun it is for me. And...the dress was under budget and so pretty and not at all sexy which is the look Mom was going for and fortunately daughter liked it too. Daughter is one of those people that are born sexy. She just can't help it and has had a swag and star factor since she arrived 13 years ago. Fortunately she is still pretty unaware and innocent which I hope to keep for as long as possible.
Next stop we hit the dreaded mall and I steer her to the sale section but Madame is like her Mimi and her eye falls on the most pricey pair they have. They are red and very high and rather sexy. She puts them on and sashays down the aisle like she has been wearing heels all her life. Most kids her age would be awkward and fall around like a drunken Bambi but she doesn't. She rocks the heels which match the dress perfectly. My first instinct is no. What will people think when they look at such a young girl in such high shoes? But what do I think? And what does she think?
So then I start thinking about how much we parent because we want to avoid the disapproval and judgement of other parents. "Ooh I would NEVER let Suzie wear that, say that, go there, eat that blah blah frikking blah." So I think haters gonna hate and we love the shoes and she looks stunning and I know who she is and so does she so Madame CAN get the shoes. We book the leg wax and the hair appointment and she gets all ready. She does her make-up way better than I do which is not saying much at all. She walks out the door with her head held high looking absolutely breath taking and poised and lovely. Of course she soon took them off and wore her adidas trainers on the dance floor but she made her entrance.
So what's the point of my story? We are so deliberate in how we parent coming off a base where our parents did the bare minimum and we still thrived after being burnt in the sun, eating shit, driving in the car while they smoked and only had to be home when it got dark. Our under parenting has made us over parent and the complexity of social media makes it that much harder. Go with your gut. You know your own kid. Your family values. You are their mom and that means its you, the other parental figure and the kid that get to decide.
Here is my girl in her heels. Feeling and looking beautiful.

School management and teachers from six schools in Port Vila, Vanuatu, came together for a two day induction workshop to establish their Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH) in Schools programs. They also participated in a special focus program on Menstrual Hygiene Management, which included the Acting Director of Education in Vanuatu, the National Director of the Primary School Program, the Deputy Principal Education Officer for Shefa Province and the Natinoal Early Childhood Education Coordinator (pictured above).
During the two days participants discussed WASH and the 15 education standards in Vanuatu, and explored how good hygiene and access to safe sanitation contributes to academic success and economic growth. They also participated in activities to understand the dynamics of behaviour change and how WASH activities can fit into overall school commitment to improving health. Opportunities to influence hygiene behaviour change in the schools were documented for teachers, students, parents, school council, and also the cleaning and maintenance staff.
Each school established its WASH Committee during the meetings, and were briefed on the baseline data collection process that Live & Learn will conduct in partnership with the WASH Committee members in each school. The participants also explored the concept of WASH Champions and made plans for establishing student-led WASH Clubs in each school.
Live & Learn Vanuatu is working with Mama's Laef to improve access to affordable, reusable sanitary pads. The Mamma's Laef Washable Sanitary Pad project was established in Pango Village, Vanuatu in 2015. Washable Sanitary Pad kits are sewn by ni Vanuatu women. The kits are washable sanitary pads that are a comfortable, environmentally friendly alternative to disposable sanitary products. The kits have a life-span of 3 years and cost only 55 cents per month (compared to $3 a month for single use sanitary pads).
Representatives from Mama's Laef presented kits of reusable sanitary pads to each of the six schools as part of a special event during the induction workshop to mark the importance of addressing menstrual hygiene in the WASH in Schools program. Pictured above is Mr Webster, Chairman of Freshwater Bilingual School, receiving a reusable sanitary pad kit from Mama's Laef. Freshwater Bilingual School is the biggest school in Vanuatu, with more than 1600 students). Mr Webster commented: "In my society, women are valued and treasured….Menstruation is not a period of segregation but a period of regeneration."

Today, a friend asked me why my dream car is a Fiero. It's simple.
When I lived in Cobourg, my neighbor had a red 1984 model. Compared to all the Corsicas, Tauruses, Tercels, and the occasional Golf in my town, the Fiero was cool. It was smooth, it was sleek, it was really low and rakish, it had the engine in the middle, and it produced a subtle muted growl out of it's shiny chrome exhaust tips. It was everything I could ever want in a car. It was proof that dreams could become realities, and that nothing was impossible. In that place, and at that time, nothing else matters. No matter how the day went, or what went wrong in Kindergarten then, I knew that I could always come home, look out the bay window, and see this pretty little number parked in the driveway. It was the reset button, proof that cars could be more than the sum of their parts. They weren't very good cars, but that doesn't matter. The Fiero will always be a part of my life that I'll never forget. And with prices this low, how can I not afford to grab the brass ring, and have a car that makes me feel like gold?

Brookings: Nicol Turner-Lee, Fellow – Governance Studies, Center for Technology Innovation
Not all U.S. communities are created equal when it comes to broadband deployment and availability. Earlier this year, my colleagues Blair Levin and Carol Mattey shared the challenges associated with deploying broadband in rural areas. According to the authors, it is not only expensive, but it does not necessarily yield a profitable return for private companies.
The gap in high-speed broadband access between rural and urban areas remains wide in the U.S. According to the Federal Communications Commission, 39 percent of rural Americans (23.4 million) lack broadband access to a fixed service with speeds of 25 megabits per second (Mbps) download/3 Mbps upload, while only four percent of urban residents lack access to those speeds. Without access to high-speed broadband, rural residents are severely limited when it comes to economic development, civic engagement, and the other social benefits related to broadband availability and its adoption.
As the House GOP released the first draft of the tax plan last week, rural broadband deployment, an issue that continues to receive bipartisan congressional attention, may find some helpful incentives. For telecommunications companies that are highly capital-intensive, the draft that the Senate eventually adopts could impact investments in new rural broadband facilities or the upkeep of existing network infrastructure in rural and urban areas.
Full Report is HERE.
Broadband is critical infrastructure for rural economic development and should be considered as such by all levels of government.

Chapter 34 Thousand Treasures Pavilion
Every person hides something dark inside their heart; sometimes it is better to let it stay undisturbed and in the dark, because once it is out, nothing will remain the same. All happiness will be gone, and entire relationships will be severed. Love can turn into hate or hate can turn into love. Not many people have a wide heart, capable of accepting the ugly darkness in their hearts. If we find them, they will be worthy of being called true friends, brothers and sisters in fighting this life.
"Master Gou Jie!" Jaime bowed. "This lowly one is so happy to meet you, and won't intervene with whatever you are going to do with this miss. Please let me out from this encirclement."
Gou Jie sneered. "You little brat, this young master had shown you kindness the last time we met, but it seems you didn't take it to heart. Today you will learn what it means to regret! Break all his teeth and cut his legs!"
Jaime glanced angrily at Gou Jie and shouted. "You are just a shitty human, and the lowliest kind at that. What right do you have, that you dare to touch your granddaddy here. Do you think that I don't dare to break your legs and take all your teeth right now? I am going to rape all your wives and impregnate them in your presence! Try me if you dare!"
Chu Mie trembled from shock, unable to understand how A Niu would dare provoke Gou Jie.
"All of you! Kill him now!" Gou Jie gave the command, and sixty people made their move towards Jaime.
Immediately, the sixty of them suddenly felt a great aura burst towards them, causing them to hold their breaths, none of them daring to move. Their instincts told them something big and dangerous was preying on them, and caused their bodies to chill. It felt like as if they were facing a Patriarch Realm as an enemy.
"You have been offered with a good meal, but refused to eat it. This time you have occurred tragedy in your life. You will have all of your teeth broken and leg cut. Your parents will cry for you." Jaime moved towards Gou Jie, slapped him softly and quickly ran to Da Xiu—the Golden Lion Hawk beast—and grabbed Chu Mie. "Da Xiu fly now, quickly they want to eat your meat!"
Gou Jie stopped for second and realized a step too late, "They are escaping! What are you people doing! Catch them now!"
All of them snapped out of their daze too late, Jaime and Chu Mie soared into the sky and left them. They couldn't help but feel their hears ease as they saw Jaime flying away. On their necks were slightly shallow cuts that started to bleed.
"Damn!" Gou Jie cursed. "We will find them, whatever it takes." As he shouted, his teeth suddenly fell off one by one, his mouth full of blood. He suddenly fell, and couldn't stand up. Both his legs were really painful, like they were broken.
Chu Mie laughed so hard. "You really have eaten a tiger's heart! You dared to provoke Gou Jie, slapped him and escaped. He will chase you to the end of the world. The only thing I regret is you slapped him too softly"
"Not a big deal." Jaime waved his hand. "Without provoking him, he would have killed me as well. From now on, I will slap him every time I meet that arrogant boy and quickly escape, hopefully that'll cause him to die from anger."
"How come they didn't chase after us?"
"Maybe they were shocked by my daring actions."
Both of them flew to the biggest auction house in the city, Thousand Treasures Pavilion.
"It is so big!" Chu Mie looked in awe at the front of the auction house. There are a few big pillars, a lot of stairs and luxury statues. "How can we enter it?"
"You haven't ever come here before?" Jaime asked, a bit surprised.
"I never had the money, how could I dare step a foot in here?" Teacher Kok and Teacher Hou gave the King Chameleon beast's core to the academy and they paid Chu Mie one hundred thousand spiritual stones.
"What makes you want to step in now?"
"I need to buy some storage pouches; I heard they can hold a lot of stuff inside." Chu Mie checked around. "Do you know how to buy the stuff inside? The auction house is too big and too awesome."
"I am just a lowly servant how could I… wait." Jaime found someone and made his way to the entrance. "Brother Xu Tie, do you still remember me?"
One guard looked confused to Jaime. A young master with super expensive clothes. "I am sorry young master. May I ask who you are?"
"Ah, Brother Xu Tie, you helped me with 10 taels of silver that one time. This one hasn't returned it yet. Please take this."
Xu Tie still appeared confused and accepted one spiritual stone. "Isn't this too much?"
"Don't mention it." Jaime laughed. "This time your little brother hugged a big tree and became a servant of a noble princess. You see that dark skinned young girl? She is a princess of a faraway country, a student of White Lion Academy. She is loaded and wants to buy some stuff at the auction house, could you help us?"
"Wait here a moment, I will be your guide through all your needs!" Xu Tie didn't look like he remembered Jaime, but being a guide for a loaded princess; he has waiting for an opportunity like this since forever. There is a rule in the Thousand Treasure Pavilion regarding its workers: everyone who can bring a client will receive about 0.1 % of what the client spent as commission.
Xu Tie was already dying to be a guide for loaded people, he had long since learned everything required to be a perfect guide. He quickly informed his head guard to get permission for a day off.
"What happened?" The head guard asked, his voice tinged with annoyance.
"My long gone little brother suddenly appeared with his master, a princess of a kingdom. He is begging me to guide him around the auction." Xu Tie quickly put one spiritual stone in the head guard's hand. "Please let me off for today."
The head guard checked the one spiritual stone and grinned ear to ear. "No problem, you are like my little brother as well. Don't mind me just go, I will cover your back. Don't let our little brother wait for too long."
Xu Tie returned in his casual clothes and met Jaime and Chu Mie. "This one is called Xu Tie, I will be your trusted guide throughout the auction. Please follow me."
Jaime exchanged glances with Chu Mie and followed Xu Tie through the entrance, and walked into the auction hall.
Xu Tie in, high spirits, explained. "There are three ways of purchasing merchandise in the pavilion: first is a direct purchase, all the merchandise on display have written prices and can be bought at a moment's notice. Second is requesting a book containing the inventory list from the counter."
"What is so special about the book? What is different about the book as opposed to the merchandise on display?" asked Jaime.
"Some people want to sell things that can't be openly put on display because of some reason or another. They also don't want to have their items in the auction and be sold at unpredictable prices. So they request that their item be sold at a fixed price. The Auction house records their items in the book."
"The third is following the auction. This pavilion hold an auction every four days. Luckily for you, today is an auction day, and it will begin soon." Xu Tie smiled. "So where will you start? I can guide you through the twelve display area pavilions, Weapon pavilion, armor pavilion, talisman pavilion, amulet pavilion…"
"How about we get the book first?" asked Jaime. "We can walk while reading the book." The book with a lot of secret stuff in selling aroused Jaime interest. (/halp)
Xu Tie bowed down, "The request for the book will cost one spiritual stone. If you have ten thousand spiritual stones, you can deposit it at the counter and exchange it with a bank card, as a bonus, the book will be given for free. The bank card will record the amount of money you deposit, and can be taken back without any fee if you don't use it."
"Good!" Chu Mie quickly threw the big pack on his back towards Xu Tie. "You should have said that sooner, I was tired of lugging that bag around. There are one hundred thousand stones inside. Quickly exchange it for the card."
Xu Tie was a lower level than Chu Mie, and had problems dragging the pack, yet on his face was a wide smile and a lot of beautiful dreams started flying around his head.
"0.1 % of one hundred thousand. One hundred spiritual stones commission, I can buy a house and land for my family!"
Jaime and Chu Mie were checking a display area when Xu Tie came back and gave Chu Mie one book, one bank card and one token. "This token represents one VIP room in the auction hall. People usually receive one if they deposit a minimum of one hundred thousand spiritual stones."
Chu Mie nodded and checked the book.
Jaime didn't want to bother Chu Mie and walked around the display area. Xu Tie came to him and said, "Brother, this jade holds information about everything we sell in the auction house, including items from the display area and items from today's auction. This is exclusive information only for VIP clients."
"Why are you giving this to me? I am just a lowly servant."
Xu Tie shyly said, "Brother, after having been a guard for the auction entrance for many years, these eyes of mine have seen many kinds of people, both poor and rich, year after year. As for you, my brother, I think you are special. Perhaps I may be wrong, but I won't regret what I do. What I will regret, however, is what I don't do. I won't say anything to the Princess."
Jaime laughed and checked the information inside the jade. Having money means you will have more impulses to wildly buy everything you don't need. Jaime's eyes suddenly shone brightly.
There were some talismans for calling rain, a talisman for deep water, talisman for gathering spiritual energy, natural energy and so on.
"Brother Xu Tie, come here." Jaime whispered to him. "The bank card, where can it be used?"
"The bank card issued by the Thousand Treasure Pavilion can be used in all auction houses in twenty four cities, and can also be used to do transaction with the lord of every city inside White Lion Kingdom."
"How about the safety of personal secrets?" Jaime smirked.
"Brother, in the auction house, we protect our clients carefully. We don't ask where the money is from, and we will protect anyone in possession of a bank card, even the king wouldn't dare to ask about in the auction house."
"Good, good, good, lucky for you I have things I would like to buy." Jaime took out one storage pouch. "Don't tell the princess or I will demand the 0.1 % that is your commission."
"No, no, no I will keep everything a secret." Xu Tie hastily took the storage pouch to the counter. Proudly, he said the girl on counter. "This storage pouch is my brother's, take care about it."
The girl showed no interest, she had seen all kinds of rich people. Not to say the brother of a lowly person with perverted eyes who only thinks of how to take her to the bed. Suddenly she screamed after checking the storage pouch.
"What happened?"
"Is it really your brother's storage pouch?"
Xu Tie hit his chest proudly. "Of course, he is my real brother."
"He's the same type of lowly human like you. Tell him our auction house doesn't accept scrap metal! Silver and gold are not allowed, spiritual stones only. Return to your brother and tell him we can't issue him a bank card!"
Xu Tie frowned and returned back to Jaime. "Brother, you put me to shame, inside the storage pouch is only silver and gold. The auction house can't give you the bank card."
"That's the only money I have."
Xu Tie could only smile, a look of disappointment on his face.
"Wait, I have the other scrap money, you can try it this time." Jaime threw another storage pouch.
Xu Tie bowed and took the storage pouch to the counter.
"You again. I have no time for you." The counter girl said in unpleasant tone.
"Me too, I don't have time for you too, just process this client's storage pouch or I will report to the manager that you didn't want to process a client's space storage pouch."
"After this one, please disappear from my face, and kick your brother out!"
Xu Tie said nothing and let the girl check the storage pouch.
"Kyaaaa!" The girl screamed again.
"What is it this time?"

4 Steps to Minimising the Risk of Hazardous Goods in the Workplace
MelanieSaunders posted a blog entry in Being Greener Every DayFor businesses that routinely find themselves working with chemicals or hazardous goods, it's essential to do everything possible to minimise their risk. Of course, there's an incredible risk when working with explosives, corrosive acids and poisons, though with the correct precautions and procedures, these risks dissipate almost entirely. If you're having trouble educating your workforce or just looking for a few steps on how to minimise chemical risks, we have four essential steps for you below. There's always a multi-step process when it comes to minimising risk, but it's not too hard to remember, and we've taken a look into these below. Fortunately, a few somewhat simple changes can work wonders for the safety of your business, so making these won't be very difficult at all. Let's make your workplace as safe as can be, take a look at our tips below. 1. Identify and Understand This is the essential first step to reducing the risk of harm in the workplace. Nor yourself or an employee can effectively deal with a chemical, poison or explosive without first knowing what it is, what its risks are, and how to store it safely. With that in mind, it's crucial to take a look at the Safety Data Sheet that has come with the substance and work out just what it is. If it should be stored in a compliant way, then invest in a Storemasta cabinet, and you'll be checking off an essential requirement: safe storage. Once you've identified what a chemical is, and how it should be handled, you can then move on to assessing how best to deal with it. 2. Assessing Risk and Potential Harm As we now know the substance and its basic requirements for storage, we can then move on to understanding the risks it poses to the workplace. You'll need to know whether the chemical is going to cause vapours to spread through the warehouse or workplace, or if it can catch fire under certain conditions, for example. We suggest undertaking a risk assessment of that specific hazardous good and learning about the potential risks it poses. In doing so, you'll have an in-depth look at what the substance is capable of, and how to keep it from doing any harm. In the end, after assessments and some brief research, you should know exactly what the substance's risk is, and how to mitigate it. 3. Work to Control Risk The first two steps in our list will have shown you just what a chemical is, how it should be handled, and what harm it can cause. With these points in mind, you should then develop a plan and educate staff on how to control risk when working with that specific chemical. A few tips we suggest are: - Adapting workplace tasks that could result in injury - Investing in personal protection equipment or PPE - Change workplace paths to keep staff away from an unsafe area. Without a doubt, prevention is the best medicine when it comes to reducing the risk of a hazardous chemical harming someone. It's also a good idea to implement the following tips to reduce risk further: - Invest in correct ventilation for chemicals. - Install a Storemasta cabinet for storage. - Automate or enhance tasks that require chemical use. Adding these few tips is essential to relatively neutralising risk, regardless of how dangerous or hazardous a substance may be. 4. Maintain Safety The final step to minimising hazardous good's risk is to implement a few changes in the workplace that revolve around the hazards themselves. These could include permanently changing workplace tasks, implementing mandatory workplace safety meetings and developing a workplace-wide safety protocol. If you plan on maintaining the safety of your workplace, there's little chance that the hazards will again crop up, keeping everyone safe in the long term. It may also be a good idea to have a professional WHS risk assessment worker come to your workplace on a routine basis throughout the year to run a few tests and take a look at how things are going. These people will be able to spotlight potential risks and let you know what to do to reduce the chance of an injury.
4 Ways to Make Sure Your Home Isn't Damaging the Environment
Dixie Somers posted a blog entry in The Green Machine BlogToday, more people are incorporating green designs and technologies into their homes, and for very good reasons. It provides a safer environment for your family, saves on energy costs, and helps to cut back on contaminants that wind up in the environment. Here are some ways to make sure your home isn't a part of the problem. 1. Energy Audits An energy audit can tell you where and how your electricity is being wasted, whether it's poor insulation or inefficient appliances. Better energy efficiency means less demand and less environmental damage from utility companies, not to mention saving you money. You can get an auditor fairly cheaply, perhaps even from your own electric company. Savings over the long term will more than justify any cost. 2. Maintain Your Heating and Cooling System If your HVAC system hasn't been inspected or replaced in years, it may be wasting energy. Old systems won't run as efficiently as newer models. Even if it's new, verify that it's properly sized for your living space. Inadequate systems have to work harder, while oversized systems draw more power than you need. Also be sure to replace filters, inspect for gaps, and clean ducts periodically so the air flow isn't impeded. 3. Have a Strategy If you don't have any kind of green policy at all in your home, you may be doing more damage than you ever realized. There are a lot of green ideas you can use even on a limited budget. Start recycling, using new energy-efficient lightbulbs, and get in the habit of conserving water and electricity. You could compost yard waste to avoid buying and using chemical-laced fertilizers. At your next home remodel, plan on using recycled or green products. 4. Fresh Water Conserving fresh water is also important to the community and life in general. If you're connected to municipal water lines, water quality is your local government's responsibility. But if you have your own well, it's important that the water is tested periodically by a company like Water Systems Council. Contaminants can be introduced through seepage and rain runoff from the surrounding soil, which may include chemicals like pesticides or industrial byproducts, as well as natural pollutants like radon, nitrates, arsenic, and animal waste. If you have a well as your water source, it's essential to ensure that the water is safe and clean. Every home needs maintenance and the occasional update. If you want to minimize any damage to the environment, try making green practices a part of your lifestyle.

Jim Hukill of LIFT Ministries in Orlando, FL has started a blog. Be sure to visit him often. His first entry is "Leadership Pressures."
With recent economic events, cultural shifts and ministry adjustments our disability leaders are under greater pressure than ever as they navigate their organizations and programs through this treacherous era. These challenging moments are consuming some, scaring others and isolating a community further. Living with disability has taught me many things about life, about family and has crafted my leadership immeasurably. Additionally, this wheelchair in which I sit has enhanced my learning about pressure: its effect upon us, the dangers pressure can have, and the benefits it can bring. Here are a few of my lessons.

' The forelt of Glenniore is haunted by a spirit onlled Lhlm
dearg, or Iled-hand. v
' Where the Norwegian invader of Scotland received two bloody
' defeats.
* The Galgacu: of Tacitus.
But far more sadly sweet, on foreign strand, We list the legends of our native land, Link'd as they come with every tender tie, Memorials dear of youth and infancy.
Chief, thy wild tales, romantic Caledon, Wake keen remembrance in each hardy son. Whether on India': burning coasts he toil, Or till Acadia'sI winter-fetter'd soil, He hears with throbbing heart and moisten'd eyes, And as he hears, what dear illusions rise! It opens on his soul his native dell, The woods wild waving, and the water's swell : 'l'radition's theme, the tower that threats the plain, The mossy cairn that hides the hero slain; The cot beneath whose simple porch were told, By gray-hair'd patriarch, the tales of old, The infant group that hush'd their sports the while, And the dear maid who listen'd with a smile.
The wanderer, while the vision warms his brain, 15 denizen of Scotland once again.
Are such keen feelings to the crowd confined,
And sleep they in the poet's gifted mind'!
Oh no'. for she, within whose mighty page
Each tyrant passion shows his woe and rage,
Has felt the wizard influence they inspire,
And to your own traditions tuned her lyre. Yourselves shall judge--whoe'er has raised the sail By Mull's dark coast has heard this evening's tale. The plaided boatman, resting on his oar,
Points to the fatal rock amid the roar
Of whitening waves, and tells whate'er to-night
The filial token of a daughter's love!
Faazwsu. to Mackenneth, great Earl of the North,
O swift be the galley, and hardy her crew, May her captain be skilful, her mariners true,
From the far southland horde: a minstrel came forth,
And bid its wild numbers mix high with the blast;
To lament for Mackenzie, last _Chief of Kintail.
And shalt thou then sleep, did the minstrel exclaim, Like the son of the lowly, unnoticed by fame?
No, son of Fitzgerald! in accents of woe,
The song thou hast loved o'er thy coffin shall flow, And teach thy wild mountains to join in the wail, That laments for Mackenzie, last Chief of Kintail.
ln vain, the bright course of thy talents to wrong, Fate deaden'd thine ear and imprison'd thy tongue; For brighter o'er all her obstructions arose
The glow of the genius they could not oppose;
And who in the land of the Saxon or Gael,
Might match with Mackenzie, High Chief of Kiutaill
Thy sons rose around thee in light and in love,
All a father could hope, all a friend could approve; What 'voila it the tale of thy sorrows to tell,
In the spring-time of youth and of promise they fell! Of the line of Fitzgerald remains not a male,
To hear the proud name of the Chief of Kintail.
' Atxtlitl, or Nova Sootia.
And thou, gentle dame, who must bear to thy grief,
' Bonail', or Bonallez, the old Scottish phrase for a feast at parting with a friend.
They owed the conquest to his arm, And then his liege-lord said,
at The heart that has for honour bea t, By bliss must be repaid,—
My daughter Isabel and thou
For thou art bravest of the brave,
Though thus he dealt in petty treason,

A group of entertainment professionals has established a new motion picture company that will finance and distribute up to 12 low-budget movies a year.
Many studios dedicated to independent movies have been closed (Picturehouse) or exist more in name than in function (Miramax). Production and advertising costs continue to climb, financing is virtually impossible to secure and the recession has severely reduced DVD revenue, once a safety net for specialized film.
DF Indie Studios, a venture to be based in New York and set to be introduced on Monday, will focus on films with budgets of up to $10 million, according to Mary E. Dickinson, chief executive of the venture, and Charlene Fisher, its president.
"There's almost nobody left that focuses on this budget level," Ms. Fisher said.
But Ms. Dickinson and Ms. Fisher the D and the F in DF Studios think independent productions are ripe for reinvention. "There is going to be a dearth of quality product in the marketplace because financing has dried up for so many people, and that means we can move into that open spot," Ms. Dickinson said.
The two would not discuss the company's financing and had no film projects to announce. They are still seeking investors.
"We are happily on the way with our financing, which will allow us to start making films in the fall," said Ms. Fisher, whose background is in entertainment business development and restructuring. Ms. Dickinson's experience includes reorganizing an extreme sports film company, Teton Gravity Research.
Ms. Dickinson and Ms. Fisher have signed up an eclectic mix of entertainment industry personalities to advise them, including the Oscar-winning actress Tilda Swinton and Ben Silverman, co-chairman of NBC Entertainment (and once Ms. Dickinson's agent). Ira Deutchman, a longtime film distribution expert and producer, and John Hadity, a former production executive at Miramax, are also assisting.
Among the producers who have projects in development with the company are Jennifer Fox ("Michael Clayton") and Ted Hope and Anne Carey ("The Ice Storm"). Scott Free, a production company owned by the directors Ridley and Tony Scott, and RedBone Films, co-founded by Samara Koffler, who formerly ran the actor Harrison Ford's production company, are also involved.
The company's executive offices are stocked with experienced independent film people who unexpectedly found themselves looking for work. The chief financial officer, for instance, is Rita Chiappetta Thibault, formerly an executive vice president of finance and accounting for New Line, which was folded into Warner Brothers last year.
DF Indie Studios says it will guarantee producers a theatrical release in the United States and ample advertising.
"We will have a fully fleshed-out marketing team that will start evaluating ideas figuring out how to sell them from greenlight," Ms. Dickinson said.

10 benefits of No light ceiling fans
If you are like me, and you are looking for a ceiling fan without lights, then you are in luck. Manufacturers now offer many models of no light ceiling fans. There are many reasons why people would want a ceiling fan without lights.
A lot of times people may already have a lighting system installed and are looking for the benefits of the fan alone. Or maybe they are looking to ways to save money.
Ceiling Fan Saves People Money
If you are looking to save some money on your energy bills, then a no light ceiling fan is the way to go. A ceiling fan circulates the air in the room which makes the room feel cooler.
The great thing about obtaining a ceiling fan without lights is that you will save money on your energy bill. You will get the benefit of a cooler room while paying less because you aren't operating a light on the fan.
Choosing the Right No Light Ceiling Fan
A no light ceiling fan can not only save you money, but will make a room stand out as well. Have you ever walked into a room and were amazed at how much difference a ceiling fan can make?
Picking out the right fan will not only make a room look better, but it helps make a room feel more cozy. Just remember when choosing a ceiling fan, you should be aware that an inexpensive fan is not always better. You don't want a noisy fan whose motor is always burning out.
Finding the Right Spot
In order to get the maximum benefit from your no light ceiling fan, you will need to consider its placement. The placement is often times overlooked. But, you will want to place the fan in a place where you will feel the air circulating.
You will feel most of the air it generates directly under the fan. So, you may want to place it over a place where you will be working or even where you will be sleeping.

Crucially, receiver operating curve analysis of autopsy confirmed AD cases versus normal controls has provided a cutpoint for CSF A1 42 concentration at which diagnostic sensitivity and specificity to AD is maximal (192pgml1), yielding correct detection of 96.4% (concentrations below 192pgml1) and correct rejection of 95.2% (concentrations above 192pgml1)37. We therefore first partitioned our sample into normal A (individuals who fell above the 192pgml1 A1 42 cutpoint) and all individuals below this cutpoint expressing AD neuropathology (A+).

Could you use a push?
Anyone ever heard of a "push goal" before? Prior to …. hmmm, about March 3, neither had I. But today I am so excited because the tremendous progress in this ONE area of my life/home has me really motivated to keep pursuing a variety of other goals I've set.
I had to discover a "new normal" when I left my job at Redeemer Seminary in March and transitioned back to working from home full-time. The first few weeks I spent catching up on things that just landed on a pile during the last few busy weeks at the school. But, then I started thinking: "What should my life look like now?" I mean, it's one thing to fantasize about not having to be somewhere at a certain time each day, but it's another to find a new rhythm altogether.
So back to the push goal. This is a something I was introduced to in March when I decided to do this: http://www.30daypush.com as a part of a business challenge in my Young Living group, the Oily Gurus. It's a free, 30 day challenge designed by Chalene Johnson to help people think about what matters most to them (their priorities), set goals that are aligned with those priorities, and then begin taking steps to accomplish those goals.
Unlike other goals, a push goal is one that, once accomplished, sets off a chain reaction that makes reaching your other goals easier. Picture a row of dominoes and think about what happens when you push the first one over. That first domino? That's your push goal.
So, the one I chose was to reorganize my home office by the end of May. I knew doing this would energize me and make it easier for me to accomplish my other goals. My creativity and productivity thrive when my environment is organized and attractive, but clutter derails me. There was no way I could be effective when all I saw over the lid of my laptop were piles of things heaped on the desk and scattered around the borders of the room. (Maybe some of you can relate!)
Because this room doubles as both office and media room (and occasional guest room), Phil and I had to work on this together. That's been a good thing for us because it's brought up all kinds of things like decor preferences, budget priorities, etc. It took time to get on the same page about the project, but it is SOOO worth it now that the room is finished.
Do you need a push to make some changes? You can do it! And this challenge might be just right for you. (Remember, it's free!)
Tomorrow, I'll break down the steps I took to accomplish the goal and show you more pictures of the finished room. In the meantime, what's one of the goals you're pushing toward these days? I'd love to know so I can cheer you on!

Six Solos
Erwin Redl
Megan Geckler
Tobias Putrih/MOS
Gustavo Godoy
Katy Moran
Joel Morrison
November 9, 2010 – February 13, 2011
Opening events:
November 5-7, 2010
Wexner Center for the Arts
The Ohio State University, Columbus
1871 N. High St.
Columbus, OH 43210
Notes Wexner Center Director Sherri Geldin, "The Wexner Center has a long history of supporting the production of new, often experimental work by younger artists looking for opportunities to push their practice in new directions. Each of the selected artists is on the cusp of greater renown, and we are particularly pleased to open this show on the occasion of the 21st anniversary of the Wexner Center, which might well connote a modicum of institutional maturity—but never creative complacency."
Christopher Bedford, chief curator of exhibitions, says, "For many of these artists, this will be the first solo presentation in a U.S. museum, and it's telling that most have used this occasion as incentive to broaden their scope of address and expand their already ambitious repertoire of forms and ideas. We are very proud to be able to support such work in a wide variety of media, some representing new hybrids altogether."
An overview of the six artists and their projects:
• Erwin Redl has created a time-based installation on the Wexner Center's exterior grid using approximately 100 multicolored LED light sticks, animating the building's grid, a signature feature of its architecture, as never before. Entitled FETCH, this spectacle of illumination will be visible at night. Born in Austria, Redl currently lives and works in Bowling Green, Ohio.
• Los Angeles-based artist Megan Geckler has created an immersive installation, Spread the ashes of the colors, that features interlacing, vibrantly colored flagging tape suspended from the ceilings and lining the walls of the lobby.
• Tobias Putrih/MOS have designed and constructed an environment, titled Majestic, of aluminum and fiberglass that serves as a viewing space for a video series conceived by Wexner Center film curators. Visitors can walk into and around the work, absorbing it as a sculpture, and can also sit within the structure. The video program will change every few weeks and will feature, in order, Jun Nguyen-Hatshushiba's Happy New Year: Memorial Project Vietnam II (November 9–27); Abbas Kiarostami's Shirin (November 29–December 26); Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreig's Je Veux Voir (December 28–January 23); and seven episodes from Leslie Thornton's Peggy and Fred in Hell (January 24–February 13). Born in Slovenia, Putrih lives and works in Boston; MOS is a design and architecture collective that often collaborates with Putrih; led by principals Michael Meredith and Hilary Sample, MOS is based in New Haven, Connecticut.
• Los Angeles–based, Mexican-American artist Gustavo Godoy has created a site-responsive installation that fills a trapezoidal gallery space with a dramatic plywood construction. Visitors can move through and around the work, which is lit from within by fluorescent bulbs, creating a luminous effect amplified by the white vinyl floor treatment. This work is the largest project to date in Godoy's ongoing Fast-formal series. Visitors are invited to climb on the sculpture one person at a time, at their own risk.
• British painter Katy Moran's first solo museum presentation in the United States features more than 30 works created between 2006 and 2010 and examines the trajectory of her art during this period. Moran's intimately scaled, deeply felt paintings—in her signature sensual, brushy style—exist along the fault lines of representation and abstraction. Some of the more recent works incorporate elements of collage.
• Seattle-born sculptor Joel Morrison has several works on view, together offering a selective survey of recent work. At the center of the exhibition is a major new project, the gigantic Victor (rat trap), a stainless steel work depicting an air-filled latex glove caught in a rat trap. Also on view: one of Morrison's most memorable previous works, Romeo—a gaping maw with bullets for teeth—and a major new fiberglass sculpture.
FREE ARTIST'S TALKS: Tobias Putrih/MOS, November 7 at 2 pm; Erwin Redl, November 18 at 4:30 pm; Megan Geckler, January 12 at 4:30 pm; Joel Morrison, January 20 at 4:30 pm; and Gustavo Godoy on January 27 at 4:30 pm.
MEDIA PREVIEW: Friday, November 5, 3–5 pm (email@example.com).
ANNIVERSARY PARTY (invite-only): Saturday, November 6 starting at 7 pm
MEMBERS' PREVIEW BRUNCH: Sunday, November 7, 11 am–2 pm
Six Solos is organized by the Wexner Center for the Arts.
Generous support for the project by Tobias Putrih/MOS is provided by Elise Jaffe + Jeffrey Brown.
All exhibitions and related events also receive support from the Corporate Annual Fund of the Wexner Center Foundation and Wexner Center members, as well as from the Greater Columbus Arts Council, The Columbus Foundation, Nationwide Foundation, and the Ohio Arts Council.

Sometimes, it is totally worth it to watch innocuous trailers for already existing games. Nintendo proved it with the latest trailer for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. In the opening moments, a whole new feature was revealed for the game inadvertantly! It's Stage Builder!
If someone starts watching the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate "Nintendo Switch My Way" video, they'll see it starts with a kid who is grabbing the controller from an entertainment center where the Switch and a TV with the game playing is. The TV is showing the Games & More section of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. However, the menu is different in this clip. Normally, you can find Classic Mode, Training, Mob Smash, Mii Fighters, amiibo, and a chance to fight characters you missed beating here. In this new video, an extra option appears next to amiibo: Stage Builder.
Nintendo has not said anything about Super Smash Bros Ultimate Stage Builder yet. It wouldn't be unusual for such a mode to appear. It is a Super Smash Bros. staple. The feature first appeared in Super Smash Bros. Brawl on the Wii. The Wii U version of Super Smash Bros. also offered it. People could draw platfrms, place items, use stage parts, and generally make all sorts of custom stages to use with friends. Though, in the Wii U version, you couldn't use them in 8-player Smash.
We'll have to wait and see what the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate version of Stage Builder will be like. Hopefully, it will have the ability to share the stages we make online. The Wii U version of the game allowed people to do that after an update. The version 3.0.0 update is supposed to be released for the Nintendo Switch in April 2019, so it is possible we could see this new feature very soon.

If there's one thing you want on your wedding day, it's a flawless skin. but don't assume this will happen by magic, or that quick-fixes will do the trick.
It is essential to follow a strict skin regime in the months leading up to your wedding. Here is a simple plan for the countdown to your big day.
12 Months Before
The date is set, the venue is booked; time to start thinking about your pre-wedding regime.
Now is the time to start planning. To look radiant on you big day you need to put a beauty plan into action. Make an appointment with your hairdresser to discuss styles. If you want to lose weight or tone up this is the time to start. By doing it gradually you will have the best results.
8-10 Months Before
Visit your trusted therapist and discuss what you want to achieve and how you want to feel. Maybe a course of monthly facials and the use of a good skin care routine. if you suffer from any skin conditions, now is a good time to try and start to combat them. Relaxing treatments such as reflexology or massage can help relax your mind and body.
5-6 Months Before
If you don't already wax regularly, now is the time to start. Waxing is a great way to remove unwanted body hair but you do need to get into a regular routine to get the very best results to be completely hair free.
Book your wedding hair and make up. It is important to arrange a trial for these as it gives you time to discuss any changes with your hairdresser and make-up artist.
Have your tan trial to see how it looks and feels.
3-4 Months Before
You Might embark on a course of intensive facials. This could include LED rejuvenation facials to help combat skin conditions such as redness, acne and dull complexion.
2 Months Before
Hopefully you are skin brushing and moisturizing daily – this simple act will improve the circulation, texture and appearance of your skin. Drink plenty of water to help flush our toxins.
Always moisturize your hands and feet before bed and they feel good for all of your special day.
1 Month Before
There are some great treatments to help detoxify and improve your circulation. This makes you feel healthier on the inside and in the process helps firm your skin and reduce any bloating.
1 Week Before
Have a hydrating facial combined with the power of light therapy to enhance your natural beauty. Body exfoliation and body wraps are a great way to hydrate or to detoxify.
3 Days Before
have your final waxing and opt for a luxury wax with skin brushing and exfoliating, this always leaves your skin smooth and soft.
Your feet are very important, not only for those brand new wedding shoes but also for your honeymoon – time for a deluxe pedicure.
2 Days Before
This is the best time to arrange your manicure and your fake tan.
The Day
Cleanse and moisturize before your hair and make-up are done. After your shower or bath moisturize and moisturize some more. Leave the rest to the professionals and enjoy.

A Conversation With LO
Last week, LO and I had the opportunity to meet the newest member of the family, Little Cousin. Apparently, LO formed some fairly strong opinions about his new status as a big cousin. After we returned to Baltimore from Little Cousin's hometown of Norfolk, Virginia, Grandpa Jim had the following conversation with LO. I would like to point out that there were no independent witnesses to this conversation, which Grandpa Jim swears occurred thusly:
Grandpa Jim: So what did you think of your new cousin, LO?
LO: She's a baby!
Grandpa Jim: Well, you're a baby, too.
LO: No, I'm a MAN!
(Both exclamation points and the capitalization of the word MAN were very much a part of Grandpa Jim's retelling of this conversation.)
My skepticism about this alleged dialogue stems from the fact that LO enunciates about as well as a French-speaking cow with a mouthful of cud. Also, I'm not convinced the child can speak in complete sentences yet, although he certainly does make enough sounds to qualify for sentence-speaking.
To be fair to the Grandpa I'm suggesting was engaging in some imaginative listening, I will admit that many of LO's non-sentence sentences seem to end in exclamation points. There are quite a few (unintelligible) words in all-caps sprinkled through LO's speech patterns, as well. And to continue to be fair to Grandpa's version of events, the nickname I have most consistently called LO since he was born is Mr. Man. So it's entirely possible that he thinks of himself as a man.
(Feminist side note: I have wondered for some time what I'd call a baby girl that was equivalent to Mr. Man, since Ms. Woman does not exactly roll off the tongue, and Miss Lady violates my sense of fair play. I ended up calling Little Cousin "Miss Thing," which seems to miss the point of the feminist overthinking, as I'm both using the Miss salutation and reducing her to an object. But it still felt cute to say.)
As for LO's alleged assertions, I have found that one of the problems with parenting a toddler is the impossibility of getting said toddler to repeat a skill/word/hilarious conversation on demand. (There is the possibility that this impossibility is specific to *my* toddler, however, as I have seen other parents successfully coax their toddlers into waving/telling us what the cow says/repeating particularly inflammatory dialogue from The Big Lebowski.) So, even if my dad is correct that LO has a rather elevated opinion of his own maturity (and why wouldn't he?), we're going to have a devil of a time proving it.
You will notice, however, that my skepticism about the veracity of the above conversation has not in any way kept me from repeating it.
To everyone.

Carole Bryon grew up between Paris and Normandy, and the influences of both are evident in the former ad agency art director's new venture, Lady of the Grapes – an intimate 30-cover wine bar in London's Maiden Lane, which brings the charms of prewar Montparnasse and the Pays d'Auge to Covent Garden. After wine studies in London and stints at Terroirs and Grocery Wine Vault, Bryon decided to set out on her own, aiming to highlight the more esoteric, artisan wines she most enjoys, with a special emphasis on female winemakers.
Arriving, I perched at the cosy counter with Bryon, and enjoyed fried oysters with spinach, beurre blanc and almonds and a glass of Castell d'Age "Aurèlia" Cava Brut Nature Gran Reserva (£9 by the glass). Winemaker Olga Betrian and owner Olivia Junyent are pushing boundaries with this dryly rich yet juicy fizz with a honeysuckle, beeswax and mixed-citrus character.
Located at the former site of Bryon's friend Victor Garvey's restaurant Encant, the bar offers an evolving selection of under 100 wines, all of which are organic, with a strong focus on biodynamic and natural wines. Pioneers represented on the list include the Loire's Nicolas Joly and his daughter Virginie; Céline and Isabelle Meyer of Domaine Josmeyer in Alsace; and Vanya Cullen of Western Australia's Margaret River. Of the 15 wines available by the glass or carafe, Bryon always includes two skin-contact orange wines – one for committed "naturalistas" and a more accessible option for those whose palates are not so attuned to the often less familiar, more visceral flavour profiles of this style of wine. Elena Pantaleoni's Ageno 2012 (£12.50 by the glass), from La Stoppa estate in Emilia-Romagna's Val Trebbiola, is a fine example of the latter: copper-hued, with a powdery nose of hedgerow strawberries, iced tea, heather honey and Peychaud's Bitters. The bright but chewy palate of peach skin and chamomile tea suited the robust pairing of Blu di Bufala cheese with pickled mushrooms.
A good example of one of Bryon's more esoteric offerings is Sandra Kelton's Tour Blanc Vieilles Vignes 2014 (£64 a bottle), a "sheep-only pruned" wild Ugni Blanc from Landes, between Bordeaux and Toulouse. It's produced from the often-maligned Ugni Blanc grape, which here delivers real excitement, with a richness and herbal purity of fennel leaf, thistle and patchouli oil. I then sampled a chilled glass of Old Vine Pale (£11 by the glass) – a light Carignan and Mataro blend redolent of rhubarb, iodine and anise that Pilar Miranda and her husband make in Chile's Maule Valley. In a list that leans towards France, Italy and Spain, this is an exciting inclusion and a characterful match for the garlic-rich Burgundy snails on the menu. Traditionalists will be soothed by the presence of wines such as Florence Trapet's Rossignol-Trapet 2015 Bourgogne Rouge (£59 a bottle or £12 a glass). This is a blue-chip Burgundy from a seductively ripe, soft vintage, whose plush but vibrant, brambly red berry fruit is equally good with a plate of rillettes (a secret Bryon family recipe) or honey-glazed quail (helpfully deboned, for lazy types like me).
Refreshingly, Bryon's list references the names of the owner or winemaker throughout, as well as the estate, underpinning a more intimate connection with the personalities involved – two-thirds of whom are women. This is a quality addition to London's burgeoning wine bar scene – I hope Bryon's ambitions for further openings in the future bear fruit.

If you want to know what are some good reasons to quit a job, you'll love this article.
Due to the highly competitive job market that is apparent nowadays, you should think twice about letting go of a job that allows you to make enough money to sustain a comfortable life. However, if you have noticed that you experience any of the following reasons, quitting your current position is an imperative.
Good Reasons To Quit a Job
1. The Company's Future Is Unstable
If you notice that your organization has been having consistently bad years, then a change of job may be in order. No matter how much you value your loyalty, you should save yourself and abandon a sinking ship.
2. Your Relationships with Your Colleagues Are not Ideal
Your relationship with the people with whom you work with will have a great effect on the way that you carry out your duties. If you find that the relationship that you have with your boss and your colleagues do not facilitate growth, feel free to leave.
3. A Lot of Things Are Happening in Your Life
It can be pretty hard to deal with stressful life changes if you have to keep worrying about the demands of your job. If you think that you need to focus on your life issues in order to solve them, then say goodbye to your job for the meantime.
SEE ALSO: How To Answer "Tell Me About Yourself" Question [10 Examples]
4. Your Beliefs Clash with the Organization's Culture'
You are entitled to have your own opinions and beliefs. If you find that working for the organization that you are currently with makes it challenging for you to live by these ideals, then a change of environment is in order.
5. The Company Gets involved in Questionable Transactions
If you have come to see that under the table deals have become a staple in your office, then it may be time to look for a job somewhere else. Report these deals to the authorities, while you are at it.
6. You are Dealing with Bad Reputation
If your officemates and colleagues hold a less than favorable opinion of you, then it may be time for you to look for a job somewhere else— whether the allegations are true or not.
7. Your Position Is Keeping You from Growing Physically or Emotionally Healthy
It is normal for different fields to have different effects on its proponents' physical and emotional well-being. If you find that you are finding it harder and harder to keep up, then it may do you well to take a break.
8. There Are No Opportunities for Advancement
There is no doubt that you would not want to get stuck where you are forever. If you are sure that there is no future for you where you are, then find a post with a company that will be able to offer you better career opportunities.
9. You Have Received Better Offers
If you are offered to do basically the same thing for more benefits and for a higher pay, then it may be time to leave your comfort zone and give the new offer a try.
10. Your Efforts Are Being Underappreciated
While it may be true that tending to your tasks is a part of your responsibility, you should leave a company if you feel that your good work is being underappreciated. Go somewhere where your efforts will reap you the rewards that you are entitled to.

11. You Enjoy Limited and Insufficient Benefits
If you find that you get less than what you deserve, do not hesitate to look for another job post that will offer you enough vacation days, a good compensation, and all the other benefits that you think you deserve.
12. Your Security of Tenure Is Threatened
If a person of authority let it slip that your job is in danger, even if it were done in a joking manner, then it may be time for you to come up with a Plan B that you may use as fallback.
13. Your Office Is Too Far from Your Home
The amount of time that you spend going to and from the office should not total to more than an hour. If it does, then it may be time to reconsider whether you want a job that causes you to waste much of your time and effort commuting.
14. You Have to Move
If you need to move residences for one reason or another, there is a chance that you may have to change jobs as well.
15. You Are in Desperate Need of a Career Change
If you find that the field that you are in does not excite or challenge you anymore, then it may be time to look for work in a field that will get your juices flowing.
I want to thank you for taking the time to read my article about some good reasons to quit a job. I sincerely hope its contents have been a good help to you.
