BA in 'China crisis' after Hong Kong crew sacked without notice or warning
- Thursday 27 September 2018
Unite, which represents cabin crew, is calling on British Airways (BA) to revoke an appallingly authoritarian and unjust decision which has resulted in its Hong Kong cabin crew being dismissed without notice or warning. The 89 affected workers, who operate as supplementary cabin crew for British Airways on routes to and from Hong Kong and China, were summoned on Tuesday (25 September) to a meeting the following day.
At that meeting (on Wednesday 26 September) the workers were told that British Airways was closing its Hong Kong International Cabin Crew base and that the permanent workers were to be dismissed immediately and should hand in their ID as they left the meeting. Workers on contracts would see their employment terminated at the end of October.
The workers have been told that they have just three days to sign a letter agreeing to their dismissal or not receive any severance pay.
Unite believes that the actions of British Airways is outrageous and the union is calling on the company to revoke its decision and to enter into proper negotiations with the affected workers' union the British Airways Hong Kong Cabin Crew Association (BAHKCCA), to examine if workers can be reallocated or that a proper redundancy process is undertaken.
Unite national officer for air transport Oliver Richardson said: "The actions of British Airways are both callous and outrageous.
"Even if BA's actions are legal under Hong Kong law they break all moral codes of human and workplace dignity.
"BA must revoke this decision and enter into full negotiations with BAHKCCA to develop a proper procedure to ensure that workers are treated fairly and with respect.
"If BA refuse to change course then it deserves the full and total condemnation of the international community which will further tarnish its brand and worldwide standing."

"Maar doodslaan deed hij niet, want tusschen droom en daad
staan wetten in de weg en praktische bezwaren,
en ook weemoedigheid, die niemand kan verklaren,
en die des avonds komt, wanneer men slapen gaat."
Willem Elsschot, 'Het Huwelijk', Verzameld Werk, Van Kampen en Zoon NV, 1957, p. 737.
[Amateuristic English translation: "But slaying her he did not do, for between dream and deed laws stand in the way and practical concerns, and melancholy, which no-one can explain, and which comes at night, when one goes to sleep."]
[Re-posted from The Old Site, original DD 29/02/09. What can I say, Read The Bloody Poem!]
Something in the above will forever bug me, so let me respond in kind (alas, not
– at all – in quality).
Sometimes, between going-to and falling-a sleep, there is that instant (lying horizontally) when you, elsewhere, are tall in a world ever so small; a giant but far from a tyrant. That is the moment (rising vertically) you only just succeed in fighting of sleep, barely awake but having a ball, fucking fuzzlessly brilliant.
That moment all is perfect, all is silent. Day-dream at night, no struggle, fright or fight. All is explanation, 18 carats imagination. Unfelt then, the shadow of it felt at dawn of having felt, if only faintly, god damned fantastic.
Then it dawned, indeed it dawned. Nobody damned, not even to brilliance. The epiphany an anomaly, a black hole, computing error, divide by zero and you: no hero.
Romance is rotten, melancholy mental masturbation!
Left to your own devices you produce your worst advises. You were sound asleep. Now you are back to everyday's upkeep. Uphill again, not necessarily steep; of no use to heed that instant of being a born-again infant.
Not close and certainly no cigar: a bit of prose to say 'but still'.
'But still one needs to take every moment of inspiration. The problem is only there if one makes it into a mystery ('weemoed' isn't quite melancholy). When intention and action get separated, this becomes a problem for any marriage and not in the least for the marriage between your passion and your reason (The marriage that you call 'I').
But that is all in the quoted poem and it is not in the quoting poem so you'd do well to get familiar with Elsschot. He did not die a bitter man as he considered it & dismissed the case because he could imagine it without only imagining himself.
[Whilst writing this I was listening to: Davie Allan & The Arrows, Cycle Breed and Fred Lane, 'from the one that cut you'.]

The Contribution Stabilization Program is an optional program that establishes a graded contribution rate system. If you elect to participate, it enables you to pay a portion of your annual contribution over time, leading to smoother, more predictable pension costs. This option was first available in fiscal year 2011.
Participating in the Program
If you did not elect to participate in a previous fiscal year, you can opt into the program now or in the future. You must complete the Employer Contribution Stabilization Program (CSP) election form available on the "How to Pay" page of our Employer Invoices application and submit it with your payment. You will still have the option to prepay your annual contribution by December 15. (Please note: municipalities cannot issue bonds on their own to pay the State in one lump sum. The law enacting the CSP did not contain legislative authorization for employers to issue bonds. Specific statutory authority is required.)
Once you elect to participate and amortize, you cannot withdraw from the program. However, you do not have to amortize each year and you can choose to amortize less than the maximum amount allowed. You can prepay amortized amounts without penalty.
Maximum Amortization Amounts
Your projection, which is available 17 months in advance of the invoice due date, will show an estimated maximum amortization amount. Your estimate will show the final maximum amortization amount. The estimate of your payment due February 1, 2020, which was available in August 2019, will show the 2020 maximum amortization amount.
Graded Payments
If future contribution rates are less than the graded rate, employers who participate in the program will be required to pay the graded rate. The excess payments (the difference between the employer's normal contribution and the employer's graded rate) will first be applied to pay amortized amounts.
If all amortized amounts have been paid, any additional contributions will be deposited in a reserve fund and used to offset future rate increases. Payments into the reserve account continue until such time as the payments deposited in the fund equal the employer's total salary base.
Amortizations are paid over a ten-year period at an interest rate comparable to taxable fixed income investments of a similar duration. The interest rate for amounts amortized in fiscal year 2020 is 2.55 percent.
The Fund
Under this program, no money is taken from the Fund. The Fund currently holds 22 percent of its assets in fixed income. For employers who participate, interest on their obligations will be charged at a rate that approximates a market rate of return on taxable fixed rate securities of a comparable duration. In other words, the Fund will receive the same return on the obligation as it would have if the employer had made a normal, ungraded payment.
In addition, the calculation of future employer contribution rates and the System's funded ratio are not affected.
For More Information
This presentation will tell you what you need to know before deciding whether the option is right for you. If you have questions or need additional information after reading this presentation, please email Employer Services or contact our Billing Unit at 518-473-0681 or 518-474-3140.

3 Common Robbery Cases
In New Jersey, robbery is a serious offense that could result in a long-term jail sentence if convicted. If you have been charged with a robbery, you may be worried about how you are going to proceed. Here are 3 common robbery cases that you should be aware of.
3 Common Robbery Cases | Shoplifting
In New Jersey, if you are charged with shoplifting, your case will more than likely be prosecuted at a municipal court in a local town or in a superior court at the county level, depending on the value of the property. Very often, cases that are of higher value will be prosecuted at a higher level. However, very often, the county prosecutor will reduce those charges to a disorderly persons offense and then you'll be prosecuted at the municipal level. What you should know is that most prosecutors will not plea bargain shoplifting cases, and you'll need an experienced attorney to navigate through a shoplifting case.
Download Our FREE Criminal Defense Video Series
3 Common Robbery Cases | Burglary
If you are charged with a burglary in New Jersey, know full well that you are being charged with an indictable offense that is very vigorously prosecuted. A burglary is an entering into a dwelling or other type of building with an intent to commit a crime inside. So, if you entered an apartment and intended to take something but didn't, there might not be a defense. Making a statement to law enforcement in probably not in your best interests. Contact an attorney so that you can be protected regarding your rights.
3 Common Robbery Cases | Stealing from Your Company
If an individual is accused of stealing from their company, they may be prosecuted at the state or federal level. I've handled cases of theft from companies that are at the federal level. The federal government takes it very seriously when individuals steal from their companies. I'm not talking about taking a paper clip or a stapler; in many instances, companies are looted by their own employees, often by more than one. The federal government takes these cases very seriously and will prosecute vigorously.
If you have any questions regarding common robbery cases in New Jersey, please contact Carl Spector for a free consultation and experienced legal guidance.

Specialist officers worked for hours to try and safely gain access to the home, closing off a large section of the street and ordering locals to stay inside.
A 37-year-old man and a 22-year-old woman were eventually arrested. The man was treated for injuries to his chest after being Tasered.
They were questioned at Auburn Police Station before being released. They have been charged with unrelated offences of intimidation and drug possession.
Police are continuing to investigate.

Nashville, Tenn. - Tennessee State rallied on three separate occasions only to see the final game of the 2012 Tiger Classic slip away at the end. The Tigers dropped a 6-5 contest to Mercer on Sunday afternoon and fell to 7-15 in the final weekend of non-conference play.
Jennifer Givens would put TSU on the board early with her legs. The junior beat out a bunt to open the game and then needed only one pitch to cross home plate. Givens stole second base and took third as the throw made its way into centerfield. Mercer's Mackenzie Woody attempted to throw Givens out at third, but the ball arrived late, hit the speedster and ricocheted far enough away to scamper home safely.
The Bears picked up a two-out RBI double in the first and an unearned run in the fourth to take a 2-1 lead. The Tigers came right back in the top of the fifth inning, once again Givens would cross the plate for the TSU. Givens reached on a fielder's choice as the Mercer defense forced out Tayler Shimizu at second, after she reached on a walk. Givens once again stole second and advanced to third and home as Mercer pitcher Kassie Bailey had problems holding onto the ball during her delivery.
As soon as the Tigers tied the game, the Bears regained the lead. In the bottom of the fifth, Shea Morris surrendered a home run to allow Mercer to take a 3-2 lead into the sixth. But TSU come right back once again in the top of the sixth. With one out, Kate Morris reached base and advanced to second on an errant throw giving the Tigers a runner in scoring position. Savannah Gutierrez took advantage as she drove a ball through the left side of the infield into left center for an RBI double tying the game at 3-3.
Mercer picked up two more unearned runs in the sixth. The Tigers picked up two quick outs before an error gave the Bears some extended life. Mercer recorded back-to-back hits driving in the two runs for a 5-3 lead entering the seventh.
For the third time, TSU came charging back with two runs in the seventh. Kelly Troglin opened the inning with a single and moved to second when Alford was hit by a pitch. After a Jordan Rehl sacrifice bunt, Devin Amar ripped a ball into the left field corner for a double chasing home Troglin and Alford to tie the game at 5-5. A batter latter, Kate Morris singled into left field giving Amar an opportunity to round third and head for home challenging the Mercer defense. The Bears were up to the task and threw out Amar at home.
Mercer put the nail in the coffin in the bottom of the seventh as they took advantage of a hit and two Tiger errors. Tiffany Phillips led off with a single to second and advanced one base on a throwing error. Phillips moved to third on a bunt and set up the final play of the game. Alford backhanded a ball at shortstop and threw home to Amar in time. Phillips slammed on the breaks and headed back to third. Amar chased Phillips, but was not able to connect with Rehl during the run down allowing Phillips to return home for the winning run.
Olivia Gamache fell to 2-3 in a relief appearance where she surrendered just one hit and no earned runs in .2 innings of work. Gamache, who was selected to the All-Tournament team by appearing in all three of TSU's games without allowing an earned run and just one hit, replaced Shea Morris who gave up five runs, two earned, on nine hits with four strike outs.
Troglin and Amar paced the offensive attack with two hits apiece.
The Tigers return to Ohio Valley Conference play on Wednesday, March 21. The doubleheader with Austin Peay is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. at Tiger Field.

We Used To Study "Maths" Together. But What We Really Had Was Uncontrollable "Chemistry"!
"I have to remind myself to breathe, almost to remind my heart to beat."
I was coming out of my class when I first saw her. Time stood still and the world suddenly seemed sweeter. I was mesmerized by her flawless face as I just stood there staring. I think she was wearing a Salwar suit and was holding some books but I can't be sure as I was hypnotized just looking at her face. I was so lost in her beauty that I lost track of time and suddenly, she was gone. I tried to follow her and I saw that her father was there to pick her up. That night was magical. I could only think about that face, those innocent eyes. Sleep was out of the question.
Love was in the air.Share this quote
The Next day, she came in her salwar suit again. WOW, she was stunning. I was sitting on the last bench with my friends and got to know her name. I remember that I had already started sounding our names together. That feeling of the first love was something incredible. Soon, I saw a friend of mine talking to her about something (later I got to know that it was about class notes) and a terrible feeling of jealousy and anger took over. I wanted to do something, wanted to talk to her before she's gone. That night, my emotions again wouldn't allow me to sleep. I decided that I HAD to talk to her the next day. My ecstasy had reached peak levels. Next morning, when I woke up to get the newspaper (the duty assigned to every young boy in every Indian family), I saw her. I rubbed my eyes in disbelief, wondering if I was still dreaming. NOPE. This was real! She was with her Mom.
My minded started racing from one thought to another "Oh My God! This is crazy. She is my neighbor! How could I not know? How stupid am I? Shit. I am in my Boxers! What do I do? Damn, she looks so beautiful. WAIT, I have to get ready for school!"Share this quote
I had never been this excited to attend school. I picked up a seat in a row right next to where she sits. My friends snickered and teased me as friends do, but I could not care. My world belonged to her. A few minutes later, God lent a helping hand. Her bag fell from her seat and I quickly pounced to pick it up. As I got up to give it to her, she smiled and my heart almost jumped out of my skin. FINALLY, she had noticed me. I wanted to sing and dance and shout. I wanted to jump around in circles. I wanted to tell the world I loved her and that she was mine!
Attending classes just to see her became a daily routine now and we had started talking (only about notes and classroom stuff) but a conversation is a conversation. The story got an interesting turn on a beautiful day when she talked about something other than class notes. She acknowledged my presence and said, "We are neighbours". She had seen me there a lot (that was the best moment for me in that week). I shook my head and in mind, I was doing the Gangnam Style.
Another week passed and we actually started to become friends. We used to meet often in the morning (of course my princess was always with her mother, who would eye me as if I was an escaped murderer). But the best part was that her mother ended up playing d the role of cupid! Her mom suggested that I could help her with her maths preparation. I was SOOO EXCITED (Thanks Dad, for all those hours drilling maths sense into me. It was finally paying off).
This was my time and I had to play it cool. I told them that I would have to think about it. Believe it or not, I actually genuinely got rather busy after this and forgot about it. My birthday was around the corner plus cricket was taking up a lot of my time (I was born to be a cricketer). But on a fateful day, her mother came to our house and asked me again if I could help her daughter with maths.
She must have been confused because I was blushing during the entire conversation. "Of course, Aunty. I would be happy to help her with maths", said I. I managed to keep my heart from jumping out of my body in celebration.Share this quote
Soon, I was in her home, big hall with lots of furniture. There was a framed picture of her on the mantle. Or maybe it was her brother. I don't know…it was cute. I sat at the dining table, waiting for her. The smell of her entered before she did (I have actually asked her about which perfume she used but I loved it). So, we started discussing the subject she was struggling with. That didn't last long because soon we were talking about everything under the sun but studies. Whenever her mother peered through the door, we would transform into scholars that were going to change the world. She would (inadvertently?) rub her leg against mine which was sometimes followed by that notorious smile. I loved this feeling. The thought that she probably liked me too was making me go crazy! But our study time converted to gossip time and then to our "secret talk" time.
Another month passed and I found myself sitting at her place sipping coffee and waiting for her to start a new chapter (the chapter of our love, eh, eh?) of maths. She came but she did not have the usual aura that she carries. She was sad. I asked her about it but she ignored me so I moved on with my maths session. After our study time, she just picked up her books and went into her room.
I had no idea what was happening. The next day in class, she didn't talk to me. Same thing at her place again in the evening. I was frustrated by her behaviour, so I stopped going to her place. Her mother called me after few days and asked why I wasn't coming over for study time. I told her some bullshit story related to homework and told her I would drop by soon. So, the Next day I was there again with books and notes and ready to take charge and be all business-like.
But then, she came in and I melted like a candle on a hot summer day. She looked like an angel had descended on earth. Maybe it was because I saw her after what felt like years (it was only a few days).Share this quote
She asked me angrily why I had not been visiting. Before I could answer, she grabbed my hand and suddenly I knew what heaven must be like. It was the first time she got so close to me. She told me about how she was going through "those days" (Ohhh) and how much she missed me. That day we were talking about binomial expressions (literally the most boring chapter invented in 10th-grade maths history) when she suddenly turned the last page of her notebook and wrote FLAMES with our names underneath. I didn't know what this FLAMES was at that time. She explained the whole process and I was just speechless in the moment. It is a silly little game for calculating compatibility and I was surprised, amazed, excited at the same time. It was the confirmation for me that she felt the same way I did about…US.
By the way, for anybody interested, this FLAMES thing is like…let's just say, it is not based on any scientific principles. Not reliable. It didn't show any compatibility between us but I knew how much I loved her. A
Anyway, now our conversations had taken a special twist - we started talking about our crushes and feelings. I really wanted to tell her how much I loved her from the very first day I had seen her. But when you appear confident, you are actually confused and I didn't know how she would take it if I simply confessed my feelings to ger. So, I couldn't tell her (you know how it is). We circled the topic of Love without actually touching it.
24th August 2008. Time: 17:25 PM. "THE DAY"
She came to my house to check if I was Ok (The day before, I had gotten a bit sick and couldn't go to her home for "study time" so she dropped by). I was thinking about her and suddenly, there she was. I wish for such miracles to happen every day. I still remember what she wore. She was in a blue top with black denims and she was wearing a stole around her neck. WOAH, she looked gorgeous. She held my face in her hands and just like that, my fever was gone.
She brought her lips to my ear and whispered: " I LOVE YOU". Then, she kissed me on my cheeks.Share this quote
That moment was frozen in time. I wanted to live in it. Make it my home forever. Just her and those three simple words " I LOVE YOU" and my dream had met my reality. Easily the best fever I have had in my life. When I came back to my senses, I knew what I had to do. I Kissed her. And we kissed again. And then, we kissed some more. I don't know long it was but who keeps track of time in moments like these.

Loan Process
Borrowers are required to follow procedures to authorize the purchase of property, construction or remodeling of buildings, and the borrowing of funds according to provisions found within the Book of Discipline.
- Your ministry will need to thoroughly complete a loan application and return it to the Virginia United Methodist Development Company ('DevCo'), along with all required supporting documents. Click here to begin the application.
- DevCo staff will review your application and supporting documentation and follow up with you regarding any questions or concerns.
- The church must request that the local pastor and the District Superintendent complete the Consent Form. Once complete, it should be returned to the Development Company.
Site Visit:
- If a site visit is required, a DevCo representative will contact you to make arrangements.
- Site visits typically begin in mid-afternoon and may run into the evening.
- The visit will include, at a minimum, the following:
- A tour of the subject property (and possibly any and all other property currently owned by the church or which may be considered subject to collateral lien);
- A meeting with the appropriate personnel to review the details of the loan project and your ministry's financial situation;
- A meeting with your trustees, building, and capital campaign and/or finance teams as may be appropriate for your project. The meeting's purpose is to explain who the Virginia United Methodist Development Company is and to learn the story of what God is doing in and through your ministry
- If your loan project includes construction, the site visit will begin a little earlier in the day and will include a discussion of DevCo's construction loan draw process.
- Once ready, your loan request will be submitted to the DevCo Loan Committee for their review and then referred to the full Board of Managers for formal approval consideration.
- The Loan Committee, which meets monthly, may approve loan requests up to $500,000.
- Requests greater than $500,000 require approval by the full Board of Managers.
- When your loan request is approved, your church leadership will be sent correspondence reflecting DevCo's approval and funding commitment, as well as the specific terms of your approved loan in our Loan Commitment Letter and Term Sheet.
- The Loan Commitment Letter will require the counter signature by the church's pastor and a key lay leader, which could be the chair of trustees, chair of finance or building committee chair. Also, the Loan Commitment Letter will seek to gather contact information for an attorney to represent the church as well as bank account information and insurance broker contact information.
- Depending upon whether or not a site visit is needed and which approval authority must consider the loan request, it could take up to four weeks from the time DevCo receives all required application documents to the time of formal approval. This timeline does not account for closing and funding the loan.
- Your church will be responsible for selecting a title insurance company or attorney to oversee the closing of your loan. Once selected, you will need to put that party in touch with DevCo. It is possible for the church to approve the use of the DevCo real estate attorney to manage the closing for the church.
- Under Virginia law, the church will be required to have current trustee filings with their municipal court.
- DevCo will work with your church representatives to ensure all pre-closing requirements are met.
- DevCo will work with the title insurance company or attorney to secure commitment of a lender's title insurance policy.
- DevCo will generate a loan document package for closing and will coordinate a closing date/time with your ministry and the title insurance company or attorney.
- The closing process timeline is largely dependent upon how quickly DevCo's pre-closing requirements are met and how quickly a satisfactory title commitment is secured.
- If funds are needed at the time of closing (such as for a refinance, a purchase, or closing costs), those funds will be disbursed to the title insurance company or attorney in time for closing in accordance with the settlement statement.
- Funds needed for construction costs will be disbursed after closing, as needed, to pay for work completed and/or materials stored on the job site. These disbursements must adhere to DevCo's construction loan draw process and require a duly appointed representative of the church to approve the draw using this form.

[Ruffin Slater, GM of Weaver Street Market Co-operative, has just written to me to tell me that he and the Board have decided to suspend loans to Worker-Owners against their W/O Capital/Dividend Accounts, the monies which belong to those Worker-Owners and are held for them in trust by WSM. This was my response.]
"Hey Ruffin,
Thank you for your response to my query as to why a decision had been taken to suspend loans to Worker-Owners using as collateral their Worker-Owner Vested Capital/Dividend Accounts, and also for forwarding my initial comments to the Board. Since you have done that, I thought I would take a moment to offer this further viewpoint.
I have no doubt that you (and the Board) make decisions (including this one) that are within the remit of the structure that you have so carefully put together these past few years. My concern is, as it has been these past three years, whether that structure and the decisions which flow are in the best interests of our co-operative, its members and its workers, and whether they are, to that end, consonant with our Ends, Carver, co-operative values and Fairbairn.
I mention the latter only because the Board have attached his document to the December 2009 Minutes, I am assuming because you and the Board believe our co-operative should operate according to his thesis.
I'm sure you know that document backwards, but let me remind you what it says about structure and relationships:
The key to a co-operative is the relationships that it cultivates and embodies. The most important of these may be the relationships between the co-operative and its members; however, relationships among the members, and among or between employees and other stakeholder groups, may also be important. Of course, any business depends on relationships with its customers, employees, investors, and so on. The difference in a co-operative is the closeness and multidimensionality of the relationships with members: part of the governance structure as well as the focus of operations...The relationship with members is what creates the co-operative difference: it is a source of distinctive possibilities. They are customers as well as owners. A co-operative is defined by, and draws strength from, its relationships.
Over the past few years, you and the Board have created a structure which essentially cuts out members and workers from the decision-making process. How exactly does this foster the relationships which Fairbairn says truly define us as a co-operative?
No worker or member may propose a motion at an Annual Meeting. No votes are taken. A Special Meeting of members can only be called with 30% of 13,000 members agreeing. A quorum must be 40% of 13,000.
No member may put an item for discussion on a Board agenda. Queries are met with technical brush offs. The only way to be a part of any decision-making process is to stand for the Board. Upon election, one discovers that three out of seven of the Board are appointed, and the Board Chair is unelected.
Executive sessions are the norm. Decisions are taken outside of Board meetings, and are not Minuted. Not one of the documents referred to in the Minutes is attached. And request for such documentation is now met with refusal.
The Board has abrogated to itself the right to make and change the By-laws. I have been involved in the governance of organizations (non-profit, for profit and governmental) since I was 16. In all that time, I have never come across an organization with members that does not insist that the right to make and change By-laws resides with the membership. It's like saying that the President has the discretion to change the US Constitution on his own.
By-laws protect members. They define the relationship between members and the Board, and they ensure the accountability of the Board to the membership (and in our case, also to its workers). You and the Board have created a situation where the Board is now only accountable to itself. How does this square with the co-operative value which states that the source of all authority in our co-op is its members?
In this latter regard, I would remind you that every store newsletter proudly proclaims to potential members that we abide by all those ICA-defined co-operative values. And that proclamation is itself used as the basis for inviting folks to become new members of our co-op.
The Board, having made itself itself the uncontestable source of all authority in our co-op, then devised a whole set of complicated Board Policies which essentially hands that authority over to you and the corporate office, lock, stock and barrel.
Lest you suggest that Fairbairn's reference to agency means that the Board can declare that it is the sole agency that can most efficiently determine what is in the best interests of the co-op, its members and its workers, let me remind you of the exchange I had with Brett Fairbairn before we began our work with the WSM Elections Task Force. I quote some of his remarks concerning Board Elections:
Naturally elections come into all this, since they connect the members to the board. But a director election is usually about people and competencies, and may not be a great forum for discussions of strategic directions. I think looking for ways to stage discussions, participation, and input apart from director elections is a good thing for all co-ops to do. I often wonder whether what most members really want is (a) to have "someone" do the director's job competently for them (not necessarily a burning desire to participate on this front) but (b) for the co-op to "listen" to their ideas and concerns when they have them.
Brett was very clear that the election of the Board is not the be all and end all of members' and workers' exercise of their authority. It is only the beginning. Election serves to choose those people who are then tasked as agents with the remit to foster ongoing relationships with members and workers by maintaining a continuing conversation with them to determine what are their needs and interests. There is precious little by way of ongoing conversation in our co-op.
More than that, you and the Board have engaged in these past few years in a radical re-structuring of our co-op. Expansion. Revised By-laws. Discounts to Dividends. Where was the Board's mandate to undertake these dramatic changes? Where does the mandate exist to continue with the changes discussed in the November and December Minutes?
You do not get that mandate from CDS. Nor from NCGA. And, Brett is very clear, you do not get it from election alone. Particularly when not one Board candidate sought a mandate for such radical change in any election address that I saw. That mandate comes from the public and recordable support of members and workers; support which should be sought before the decisions are made.
Why bother to seek that support? Is it really necessary for a co-op and its Board regularly to be appraised of the needs of its members and workers? ICA defines a co-operative thus:
A co-operative is an autonomous association of persons united voluntarily to meet their common economic, social, and cultural needs and aspirations through a jointly-owned and democratically-controlled enterprise.
How can the Board know what are the needs and aspirations of its members and workers unless it asks them, on a regular basis? And 'asking' is not a Suggestions Box, a feedback form or an occasional customer survey. It is a forum of discussion, where members and workers may engage with those making decisions on their behalf. And it is allowing those members and workers to vote. That is what is meant by members being the source of all authority. Your new By-laws to the contrary contain an extraordinary provision that expressly states that owners may only vote in elections.
With your workforce especially, all of the pathways that used to exist for workers to show their support for the co-op and share what are their needs and aspirations have now been shut down. No Worker-Owner program. No forums. We have not had a Full Meeting of the Co-op's Employees in two years, and the last store meetings were held in May of last year.
Again, the only chance workers have for contributing to the relationship that should exist between them and their co-op is to stand for the Board. To do that, you first have to part with $500. Upon standing, you discover that the electorate includes managers (who already had their chance to contribute in their manager meetings or in corporate office discussions), and that a process that is dominated by corporate office influence may now be subject to further questionable practices in determining the outcome.
And while we're on this subject, let me share my amusement upon reading that the Board have now determined (if they did not control enough already) that they feel they should ensure the "suitability" of Board candidates going forward. I would love you some time to share with me precisely whom they thought was unsuitable before now.
Is it any wonder that workers do not trust the processes that are supposed to govern and manage them, only with their consent? Their money was given to you in trust. You and the Board have decided in dark places and behind combination locks to dispose of their money without reference to them. There may be structure in that process; but no relationship.
Your workers have given magnificently in this past year. It is those workers on the sales floor and in the production departments who are the ones who have truly saved this co-op. A Christmas Party, while nice, is nowhere near enough recompense. What they deserve is your trust, and that of the Board.
They deserve that you trust them enough also to know what is best for their co-op. They deserve your trust in enrolling them in decision-making. And they deserve that you allow them to trust you to make decisions that involve them, that are open and that serve their needs, not some fanciful vision or dream of brand development or expansion.
You and the Board have made decisions regarding money that was given to you by members and workers on trust. They didn't read the small print. There is no reason why they should. They trusted you to act in their best interests and in accordance with co-operative values of openness and honesty. Yet, you made those decisions without reference to them, to determine what were their needs and interests.
While the structure you have created allows you to do that, it is not right, it is not in keeping with co-operative values, and it serves only to destroy the relationship between members, workers and the co-op which Fairbairn stresses is the essence of co-operation.
Your workers want the co-op to succeed every bit as much as you do. They have stoically accepted that they receive no dividend, no pay raise and that their hours have been cut, as they work harder for less. They (and I) need to find whatever ways they can to survive in order to help the co-op to survive. Taking out loans against our money in our Worker-Owner accounts is a part of that survival process. The co-op needs to serve our needs, so that we may serve the co-op's needs. That is the essence of co-operation. It is a verb: to co-operate.
And let's clear up one point. The original $500 is capital. The other money in our Worker-Owner accounts is the accumulation of retained dividends. That is our money. You hold it on trust in our accounts. It is not capital. You have no right to use it. And you certainly have no co-operative right to use it without reference to its owners.
Brett again:
Why do members invest capital, time, and loyalty in their relationship with a co-operative? Because they trust that doing so will be in their own interest as well as the interest of other members...Co-operatives earn this trust when members perceive them to be dedicated to serving the members' needs, not the needs of the organization or of any other group.
Members support co-ops because they trust that doing so will be in their own interest as well as the interest of other members...The discussion of linkage, above, related to why and how the co-op is devoted to meeting member needs. The second part of trust, however, is that the co-op must not only promote member well-being: it must also be ... seen clearly, repeatedly, and over time to be making members better off.
You and the Board have an opportunity this year to renew the relationship between the co-op, its members and its workers, along the lines suggested by Fairbairn, so that we may be fully ready to join in the celebration of 2012 being the UN International Year of Co-operatives.
I hope that you will not miss this opportunity. In particular, I hope you begin the process of renewing the relationship by allowing members and workers to be the primary source of that renewal, and not some outside consultant, nor you, the Board and the corporate office acting essentially alone.
In the meantime, I would be grateful if you would let me know just as soon as you have decided that I may take out a loan against my Worker-Owner Account.
All the best,
Sunday, January 10, 2010

::R0826 : page 3::
Great truths are dearly bought. The common truth,
Such as men give and take from day to day,
Comes in the common walk of easy life,
Blown by the careless wind across our way.
Great truths are greatly won; not found by chance,
Nor wafted on the breath of summer dream;
But grasped in the great struggle of the soul,
Hard buffeting with adverse wind and stream.
Not in the general mart, 'mid corn and wine;
Not in the merchandise of gold and gems;
Not in the world's gay hall of midnight mirth:
Nor 'mid the blaze of regal diadems:
But in the day of conflict, fear and grief,
When the strong hand of God puts forth in might,
Ploughs up the subsoil of the stagnant heart,
And brings the imprisoned truth seed to the light.
Wrung from the troubled spirit in hard hours
Of weakness, solitude, perchance of pain,
Truth springs, like harvest, from the well-plowed fields,
And the soul feels that it has not wept in vain.
— February, 1886 —

Knowing the required Modifications with regard to Grownup Training
Whenever a individual chooses to keep their own training past senior high school, often they'll presume this brand new training is going to be like the aged training these people obtained. The actual potential college student can make programs to complete exactly what these people do prior to. In the end, this proved helpful after that, therefore it ought to function right now. This particular presumption associated with likeness prospects numerous brand new grownup college students to date down the wrong path they can't alter their own conduct, meaning they'll usually not really total their own plan associated with research, and can not really have the preferred level. Just about all from the poor presumption.
The reason for the actual Variations
The reason why senior high school as well as grownup educations tend to be therefore various originate through 2 unique variations between your 2 types of training: the origin and also the focus on. Whenever you alter the origin from the training procedure, that is the actual values as well as presumptions concerning the college student, and also the focus on from the training procedure, that is the required degree of knowing, it's not uncommon how the procedure can change too.
Grownup training begins from the different picture from the college student compared to senior high school. A higher college college student generally life in your own home, along with a few degree of assistance through mother and father. A higher college college student can also be fairly free from duties; really rarely will a higher college college student possess a full-time work, a household, along with a home to aid. Along with a senior high school college student is usually really unskilled within operating their very own life. Grownup college students often reside by themselves, along with work as well as households along with other duties that should be well balanced along with college. Quickly, students tend to be teenagers whilst grownup college students tend to be, nicely, grown ups.
The aim of a higher college training would be to give a foundational degree of knowledge of the planet the actual college student is going to be getting into. Senior high school courses are made for any common populace and also to offer an knowledge of the abilities as well as understanding that's required for a brand new grownup. Grownup training is made for an infinitely more concentrated outcome, supplying a far more in-depth knowledge of a specific subject material. This particular concentrate implies that additional abilities along with other facets of the actual college student tend to be overlooked through the programs of the grownup plan associated with research.
Ramifications for that College student
A grownup college student should strategy their own programs having a various way of thinking, along with a various group of actions, than the usual senior high school college student. The actual grownup college student is actually provided much more manage more than their own conduct, and much more obligation.
A grownup college student accounts for ensuring the job for that course is performed, not really the actual instructor. The actual college student is going to be regularly reminded regarding lacking as well as forthcoming function, however the obligation so you can get the job carried out may be the past or present student's, not really the actual teacher's. Numerous instructors won't permit past due function, or even may punish past due function seriously. And far from the function associated with grownup courses is performed outside the course.
Courses within grownup training include much more materials within the exact same time period. The actual instructor will frequently include the actual materials a couple of times using the presumption which any kind of college student who not really realize works beyond course to understand this and/or can come go to the teacher throughout workplace several hours. As the grownup can get a few repeating within the course, it will likely be considerably less compared to exactly what these people skilled within senior high school.
Grownup college students have to exercise period administration to some a lot higher level compared to students. This particular requirement for period administration originates from both elevated function fill in the program as well as in the additional areas of the actual past or present student's existence. Grownup college students tend to be thought to take care of this time around administration, and when they're having issues they have to look for the required assist.
Lastly, grownup college students have the effect of their very own dedication towards the program. Senior high school instructors, provided the actual teenage character of the college students, tend to be continuously operating to find the college student to comprehend the reason why some thing is actually analyzed. This really is a smaller amount vital that you a grownup instructor; whilst a grownup instructor might supply a few validation for that research associated with particular topics, the actual validation to be within college ought to currently show up within an grownup college student. It's, in the end, the actual past or present student's option to go to.
Grownup training is actually powered through the college student, not really the actual instructor. If your college student has got the inspiration, after that they'll be prosperous.

Update: There's a free app that does this, but it's ad-supported. You might want to check it out.
I reviewed Apple AirPods last year and it's a known fact that it works with Android and any Bluetooth enabled device. Although you won't get all the features on Android, the basics work pretty well.
Pairing AirPods with your Android Phone
1. Go to Bluetooth settings on your phone and turn it on.
2. Flip the AirPods case open.
3. Press the little button at the back and your phone should detect the new Bluetooth device.
4. Tap to pair and you're done.
Features that work
Double-tap works for music; it lets you play and pause music. Also, double-tap works for incoming calls, but that's where it stops.
Checking the battery level on Android
If your AirPods and the case are running out of juice, there's no battery indicator on Android by default. However, there's an app that gives you this information. You can download AirBtts from the PlayStore for $2.49. I've been using this app on my Android device and it works pretty well. After installing, it asks for permission to access location and that's it.
There are absolutely no settings to configure. To know the battery level, just launch the app with the AirPods in your ears or with the case open.
It should be noted that the reading is not as accurate as what the iPhone gives. But then, it's better than not knowing at all.

The Fayetteville SwampDogs have announced the first two players on their 2019 roster. Both players are infielders and go to school at Georgia Gwinnett. The Georgia Gwinnett Grizzlies are the Preseason Number 1 team in the NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) poll.
Cam Coursey is a sophomore for Georgia Gwinnett. As a true freshman, he led the nation with an eye-popping batting average of .485 with 49 RBIs while scoring 60 runs. Defensively at 2nd Base, Coursey also won a Gold Glove with a fielding percentage of .980 and committed only 3 errors on the year. Coursey was named as an All American, while winning the 2018 Independent Institutions Player of the Year. Coursey is also a Pre-Season All American for 2019.
SwampDogs Head Coach, David Anderson said about Coursey, "Cam is going to be a spark plug for us. What he did for his team last year speaks for itself. He can play any position in the infield and is an extremely tough out from the left side. He fits the profile of what we're looking for both on and off the field!"
Joining Coursey will be Grizzly teammate and utility player, Nick Barnes. Barnes also had a solid freshman year at Georgia Gwinnett, hitting .367 with 7 HRs while driving in 49 RBI and scoring 41 runs. Barnes also boasted a .909 fielding percentage, only committing 4 errors on the season. He was named a 1st All Association of Independent Institutions Team selection.
Anderson said of Barnes, Nick is a great addition for our team. He's a blue-collar player who can do a lot of damage at the plate. He shows a unique ability as he hit for both power and average last year as a freshman. He's a middle of the order type of bat who has the ability to play 1B, play the OF, and DH. A true competitor!"
The SwampDogs are excited about the announcement of their first two players for the 2019 season. The season begins May 28th against Catawba Valley and season and group tickets are on sale now. Please continue to visit the SwampDogs Facebook page and website for more player announcements in the coming weeks.

When Heather L. Montgomery sees a rattlesnake flattened on the side of the road, her first instinct is to pick it up and dissect it--she's always wanted to see how a snake's fangs retract when they close their mouths, and it's not exactly safe to poke around in a live reptile's mouth. A wildlife researcher with a special penchant for the animals that litter the roadways, Heather isn't satisfied with dissecting just one snake. Her fascination with roadkill sets her off on a journey from her own backyard and the roadways of the American South to scientists and kids in labs and homes across the globe. From biologists who use the corpses of Tasmanian devils to investigate cures for a contagious cancer, to a scientist who discovered a whole new species of bird from a single wing left behind, to a boy rebuilding animal bodies from the bones up, to a restaurant that serves up animal remnants, Heather discovers that death is just the beginning for these creatures.
This engaging narrative nonfiction is an eye-opening and irreverent look at the dead and dying animals that we pass by without a second thought--as well as a fascinating insight to the scientific research process.--from the publisher
176 pages 978-1681199009 Ages 9-12
This fun informational book appeals to the ick-factor, enticing kids to pick it up. This winner is a combination of color photos of these gross bugs up close and humorous cartoons depicting them in all their gross glory, a gross-meter rating each and easily digested (pun intended) facts about each. There's a map of the U.S. posting where each bug can be found, a two-page glossary and author's note.

Finalized Editor – Silavin
Proofreader – Bluerazbeary
[Why would Long Zai Tian go against her?] Yang Kai took a glance at the forlorn and ashamed Hu Mei Er, the reason became clear. [I guess some things were better left unsaid…]
Hu Mei Er was also a bright and intelligent girl, and although Yang Kai only glanced at her, she still understood the reason for his gaze.
"Grandpa forbade you from entering the mine, and I am unable to not give him face. How about this, I will go and buy those seeds in your place. So, could you wait for me here?" Hu Mei Er suggested.
"Okay." Yang Kai knew this was the only way, and immediately went to give all of his valuable possessions to her before telling her the names of the Disciple who possessed the seeds. That time in the Black Wind Trade area, he had gotten all the relevant information from the booth owner.
Hu Mei Er entered the underground mine, while Yang Kai's eyes swept over the holes in the ground. When Long Zai Tian had left, he had entered one of the houses, and Yang Kai could sense that within that house a pair of eyes was staring at him intently, on Yang Kai's position.
The stare had watched when Long Zai Tian had struck out at Yang Kai earlier; the source of that stare was a boy about the same age as Yang Kai, Long Zai Tian's grandson, Long Hui!
Long Hui was currently looking at Yang Kai coldly and was discontent. "Grandpa, why didn't you kill him back then?"
Long Zai Tian coldly laughed. "With Mei Er's protection, how do you expect me to kill him?"
"All the more reason to kill him! I have never seen little sister, Hu Mei Er spend so much effort for any man and that youngster's relationship with Mei Er isn't shallow. To allow him to live, will only cause problems!"
"*En,* we have never seen Hu Mei Er protect someone like that. And for him, she actually dared to go against me, which is very unusual." Long Zai Tian's eyebrows creased.
Long Hui was extremely jealous. "Now that Mei Er has entered the mine, how about grandpa attacks again?"
Long Zai Tian looked at Long Hui resentfully, he wanted to comply but knew of the consequences. "Killing him is no hard task. But, if he died, it will cause Mei Er to harbor resentment towards you. Do you think that it's worth it?"
Long Hui looked on blankly before shaking his head. "It's not worth it, but are we really going to allow him to continue his relationship with Hu Mei Er? I can't bear it."
"You!" Long Zai Tian couldn't help but let out a breath, "Learn more from your older brother and watch how he treats the women that he likes. If you want Mei Er, you must use more of your mind. Grandpa can help you kill people, but I can't possibly help you acquire a female's heart right? Hu Man does not have any sons, only his two daughters, Jiao Er and Mei Er, so if you and your older brother able to obtain these two, then in the future, the Blood Battle Gang would belong to my Long family! In all three generations of my Long family, we have put decades of work into helping Blood Battle Gang so we deserve the taste of being the Sect Master!"
Hearing this caused Long Hui to become hot-blooded as he nodded his head. "It should be time for my Long family to become the Master Family! Relax grandpa, Mei Er won't be able to escape and over on big brother's side, Hu Jiao Er will definitely be captured."
(Silavin: Dream on bitches!)
*En* "It's good to see that you have Some, resolve" Long Zai Tian smiled at him.
Long Hui was full of venom; he blamed things on the distant Yang Kai. With a bit of restlessness, he tried to speak his worries. "Grandpa, that person……."
"You go find the opportunity yourself. His strength isn't high, so you should be able to cope."
"Yes!" Long Hui laughed sinisterly.
Although he couldn't do anything now since Hu Mei Er would return shortly, Yang Kai was still a High Heaven Pavilion Disciple, so he wouldn't be able to run far.
Yang Kai waited outside for a short while before Hu Mei Er came out, sweating all over. Her face filled with smiles as she stuffed four seeds into Yang Kai's hands. "Fortunately, it wasn't life threatening."
The young lady of the Blood Battle Gang wanted to purchase some things, so which Disciple dared to not sell?
"Many thanks!" Yang Kai very carefully placed the four seeds within his chest area pocket.
After standing in his original position for a while, Yang Kai struggled before speaking. "You have helped me this time, so I owe you a favour."
Hu Mei Er held a strange look as she stared at Yang Kai. "What do you mean?"
Waving his hand, Yang Kai explained. "Why don't you follow me!?"
Although Hu Mei Er didn't know what he wanted to do, she obediently followed him over.
After walking about thirty feet, Yang Kai unexpectedly stopped and stomped his foot. "I want you to remember this place. About 35 meters below here, there should be some unusual objects."
Hu Mei Er eyes widened in doubt. "How do you know?"
Yang Kai muttered a bit indistinctly. "The martial skill that I am practicing, within a certain distance, I can sense all Yang attributed things. Underneath here there should be a Yang attributed treasure and its Yang energy fluctuations are many times purer than the Bright Yang Stones."
Before coming here, Yang Kai had already sensed that in this area was a bit unusual and after considering it, he decided to tell Hu Mei Er. One reason was, due to this area belonging to the Blood Battle Gang, even if Yang Kai wanted these treasures, he couldn't obtain them. Secondly, he still owed Hu Mei Er a favour and Yang Kai saw everything she did as she helped him today.
"Ah?" Hearing Yang Kai's words, Hu Mei Er became frightened.
"Do you believe me?"
"I believe!" Hu Mei Er replied very frankly, making Yang Kai feel a bit moved.
"That's good then." Yang Kai lightly smiled. "Even though I do not know what is below, its value definitely isn't low. Also, apart from that, there seems to be something else too, for the specifics, I can't sense it. But from my guesses, the secret hidden below should be the peculiar mystery that your Blood Battle Gang has been trying solve regarding the mine. It's extremely possible, that because of its existence, this ore vein exists."
Hu Mei Er couldn't help but be moved. If what Yang Kai said was true, then the secret hidden underneath was extremely important.
"You are an intelligent girl, so you should know what to do." Yang Kai solemnly urged her.
"I understand." Hu Mei Er kept on nodding her head.
"Okay then, let's go." He smiled began moving off.
*En.* Walking through the forest, Hu Mei Er and Yang Kai didn't speak but instead enjoyed the warmth of the forest together.
Hu Mei Er was extremely joyful because Yang Kai had told her such important information. It was evident that his impression of her had changed greatly, unlike last time when he had simply disregarded her and ordered her around.
This time was different, he was much gentler and softer with her.
"We shall part here." Abruptly, Yang Kai stopped his steps, while Hu Mei Er looked distracted, showing her unwillingness. In the blink of an eye, the two people had arrived at the four-way intersection; [time passed by so quickly!] Hu Mei Er was slightly grieving.
"Goodbye." Yang Kai hurriedly said this and rushed back to High Heaven Pavilion.[He really isn't an easily swayed man!] Hu Mei Er laughed out bitterly, trying to cope.
Erza: Happy New Years guys, since today is officially 1/01/2016 for me, not to mention this is the first chapter release of the year. Last year I release 60, this I definitely will release at least twice the amount, probably more. Also, I took a sneak peek at the next chapter title and decided it a good spoiler~ Chapter 62 – Xia Ning Chang's decision. Hmm??? I wonder decision our beloved Xia Ning is going to make next chapter? Possibly regarding Yang Kai? XD


text: Phil Lilley 5,223 Report post Posted November 19, 2019 Just in... the spill gates were just closed today at Table Rock Dam after a week or more. Table Rock's level is just north of 917 feet, dropping more than three feet from its high after the last rain event. Beaver Lake is holding at 1,128.5 feet, just a foot and a half below its flood pool. There is rain in the forecast now, but it's due next week, expecting right now about two inches of rain. Table Rock Dam is now running only 1,400 cubic feet of water per second. The tailwater level is 704 feet, only about 2.5 feet high. Table Rock Lake has turned. The water coming from Table Rock is about 56 degrees, high in oxygen level but turbid. Its clarity isn't the best, but that's normal with Table Rock's turnover. This will last about a month and won't effect fishing that much. We've enjoyed a good run of threadfin shad over the spill gates as well as lots of warmwater species of fish -- crappie, white bass, walleye, blue gill, black, spotted and smallmouth bass, needlenose gar and spoonbill (I'm sure there are more species but that's what we've been seeing.) We're in for a week or more of mild weather with daytime temperatures in the 50's and 60's and not much wind. With the slower water -- and less water -- trout fishing should be very good. With the water running hard yesterday, Guide Don House reported catching very nice rainbows drifting Powerbait from Scotty's buoys down to the Fish House at the Branson Landing. We've sent anglers down there, and they've done well, too. Now that the water is slower, more people will be fishing other areas down lake and reporting back. Honestly, there just haven't been that many anglers fishing so getting a good fishing report, especially down lake, has been tough. I've been fishing down here a little, throwing white jigs along the bluff bank and doing fair, but the trout I'm catching are bigger than average. This reduction of flow has caught us by surprise. We knew the U.S. Corps of Army Engineers would close the gates and reduce flows when Table Rock dropped to desired level, but we didn't think that would mean a drop from 15,000 to 1,400 c.f.s. in just a few hours. Ryan and I went out this afternoon to try our luck. I felt like it was going to be really good, or really bad. It was better than good. Trout were rising aggressively all over the lake as we boated up past Fall Creek and the Narrows, jumping out of the water after hatching midges. Good sign. Quite a few boaters were out fishing and we saw lots of bent rods --- and even better sign! Boated past Guides Steve Dickey and John Sappington and got two thumbs up --- all right!! I tied on a while 1/32nd-ounce jig on a spinning outfit with two-pound line. Ryan had the same rig but he was using a black/yellow 1/32nd-ounce jig. He caught fish on his first two casts and I didn't get a bite after a few throws. I switched to black and yellow, started One Cast and caught one on the first cast. Steve Dickey's clients were drifting scuds and were hooked up most of the time we were up there. He told me just yesterday the trout were off the scud, not biting them at all. Today is a new day. They're liking scuds now. Now we were using two-pound line because we wanted to throw small jigs, but because the water clarity is not-so-good, you can get away with four-pound line for using bait -- just about anything. Fishing off our dock today was pretty successful. Everyone that I saw caught their limit plus some, throwing a few back. The bait of choice was orange and pink or yellow and pink PowerEggs.
