What Is the Concept Behind RNA And DNA Functioning?
How to Cook Duck: Pro Tips and a Simple
We as a part of living organisms are made up of cells and essential nutrients like proteins, minerals, vitamins and much more. But, the most important of all is that nearly every cell in a multicellular living organism owns a full set of DNAs.
DNA in coordination with RNA execute the overall process of protein synthesis. In this article we will be examining the overall concept of DNA and RNA functioning in accordance with how amino acids make up protein synthesis.
What is DNA?
Deoxyribonucleic acid, abbreviated as DNA, is a complex molecule containing all of the information that is important to construct and repair an organism. Almost all living things possess DNA within their cells. In fact, as seen above, nearly every cell in a multicellular organism possesses the full set of DNAs required for that organism.
DNA not only specifies the structure and function of living things, but also it serves as the fundamental component of heredity in organisms of all types. In simple terms, with the reproduction in organisms a part of their DNA structure is passed to the next generation. This flow of all or a part of an organism's DNA ensures the continuity of their origin from one generation to the another.
What is RNA?
Ribonucleic acid, abbreviated as RNA is also a complex higher molecular weight compound. It works in cellular protein synthesis by replacing DNA, as a transporter of genetic codes.
RNA contains ribose nucleotides adhered by phosphodiester bonds that are able to form strands of varying lengths. The nitrogenous bases in RNA are four important chemicals namely, Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, And Uracil, that help replace Thymine in DNA.
Ribose sugar from RNA, is a cyclical structure with one oxygen atom attached to each carbon atom. It's because of the chemically reactive hydroxyl group that is attached to the carbon group from the ribose sugar, that RNA undergoes hydrolysis. DNA does not have a reactive hydroxyl group, which is why DNA is preferred as a genetic information keeper in most organisms.
How are DNA and RNA important for human beings?
DNA and RNA are two main types of nucleic acids. DNA is the genetic asset found in all the living organisms. DNA is placed in the nucleus of eukaryotes and the chloroplasts and mitochondria.
Everything involved in the entire genetic content of a cell is its genome, DNA forms a mixture with histone proteins to form chromatin, the substance of eukaryotic chromosomes, in eukaryotic. A single chromosome consists thousands of genes. These genes maintain the information of protein synthesis. Turning these genes on and off is due to DNA controlling them.
Now coming to the other nucleic acid, RNA, is the vital part of protein synthesis. DNA molecules never leave the nucleus in eukaryotes, instead, they use a mediator to communicate with the rest of the cell. These mediators are messenger RNA, rRNA, tRNA, and microRNA which are involved in protein synthesis and its maintenance.
As we have seen, both DNA and RNA are made from nucleotides, each containing a five-carbon sugar backbone, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base. Also, DNA provides the cell 's activity code, whereas RNA translates that code into proteins. This in short is protein synthesis. Let's understand in a better way. The process involves two steps Transcription and Translation.
Transcription takes out a carbon copy of a section of DNA. This copy is known as messenger RNA (mRNA) which must then be further transported outside of the cell nucleus before the next step of protein synthesis may begin.
Translation takes place inside a cell organelle ribosome. Messenger RNA connects with the ribosome under the influence of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and enzymes. Transfer RNA (tRNA) is that molecule carrying a single amino acid and a coded sequence which is the key of the process.
This coded sequence is a 3 letter codes on the mRNA, which help amino acids to be placed rightly. Every such sequence is called codon. Protein synthesis results into a chain of amino acids that are connected, link by link, in a specific order. This chain is called a polypeptide and is build according to a DNA-based code. The order in which the amino acids are linked is the information written on DNA.
RNA and DNA are both built on a nucleotides foundation and both of them contain four nitrogenous bases as pair. Each DNA strand consists of a chain of connecting nucleotides. Each nucleotide contains sugar, and a nitrogenous base and a phosphate group. There is a total of four different nitrogenous bases in DNA, namely, adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C).
A strand of DNA is almost always found bonded to another strand of DNA in a double helix. Two strands of DNA are bonded together by their nitrogenous bases, where adenine and thymine bond together and guanine and cytosine bond together.
As three of their four nitrogenous bases are the same, RNA molecules have a base called uracil (U) instead of a thymine base. Uracil replaces the position of thymine and forms complementary pairs with adenine during transcription.
Transcription is the process of making a strand of RNA from a strand of DNA. DNA is again used as a template during transcription. The information that is stored in DNA molecules is rewritten or 'transcribed' into a new RNA molecule.
Genes contain all the information needed for protein synthesis. This protein production is carried out through two processes: transcription and translation. In Transcription and Translation, the information is taken from DNA and is used to produce proteins. Transcription uses DNA to create RNA.
RNA molecule is the connection between DNA and protein making. This protein synthesis is a process wherein polypeptide chains are formed from single amino acids in the form of codes inside the cell. Lastly, Protein synthesis takes place within the nucleus and ribosomes of a cell and is regulated by DNA and RNA.

Dooley PR & Marketing Wins Big with Funding Change
Published On: August 27th, 2021By Dooley PR Team
The team at Dooley PR & Marketing was already excited about Manitoba's Vax to Win lottery, dreaming about what we would do with $100,000 – ideas of exciting trips, paying off student debt and home renovations were thrown around the office. We did end up being involved in the vaccine lottery, just not in the way we first imagined.
Funding Change, the technology company that drew the winners for the Vax to Win lottery, approached us about running a PR and marketing campaign to springboard off the attention from the vaccine lottery. We jumped at the opportunity to work with such a high-profile event in Manitoba, and once we started working more closely with Funding Change and its employees, we found even more reasons to enjoy working with them.
Start By Solving A Problem
Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin group, is known for saying, innovation is born from frustration. Funding Change started in 2015 after one of the co-founders wondered why he couldn't buy a 50/50 ticket from his phone. From there, they steadily grew and have since run draws and raffles for many recognizable non-profits and organizations such as the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Grace Hospital Foundation and Dauphin's Countryfest.
We wanted to harness the attention already paid to the vaccine lottery, so we developed a press release about Funding Change and the randomized number generator system being used for the vaccine lottery. We emphasized the safety and integrity of their system and the checkpoints that were in place at various stages of the process to ensure Manitobans' health information was kept private.
A few outlets picked up this story and ran feature stories on Funding Change, including the Winnipeg Free Press, Global News and CBC. We conducted media training with Nicholas Tenszen, CEO and co-founder of Funding Change, who acted as spokesperson for the company throughout these interviews and the ones following it.

Dooley team members Adam Dooley and Georgia Dalke also attended the Vax to Win lottery press conference with Tenszen where Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries announced the first seven winners of $100,000. It was a very exciting event with lots of positive energy in the room – it's hard not to be happy when they bring out the big cheques. One of the winners, Trent Fingler, even went viral on Twitter for his impassioned speech on vaccinations.
Because of Funding Change's integral role in the draw, we earned more coverage after the winner announcements from the Winnipeg Free Press, Winnipeg Sun and other smaller rural papers and websites.
But we didn't stop there. We still have more press conferences to attend with the announcement of the youth scholarship winners and a second round of winners in September. Also, we are coordinating an entire digital marketing campaign on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn.
For this campaign, we are focusing on two main objectives: brand awareness and lead generation. Funding Change had already expanded to British Columbia and is waiting for a license to expand into Ontario, so they wanted to create more buzz in those provinces. While we harnessed the attention from the vaccine lottery in Manitoba, that coverage won't carry over to other provinces, so we got to work writing ads specifically for those locations.
Funding Change has so much to offer non-profits and other organizations looking to raise money, making it easy for us to write relevant and effective ads. We focused on the security of their online system, how much time it can save non-profits and how online fundraising increases potential audience reach.
As the vaccine lottery excitement and Funding Change's marketing campaign winds down, we will continue to evaluate the results and build upon our knowledge for potential future campaigns. Even if none of our team members won the $100,000 prize, it was great to help this innovative client get some well-deserved attention.

The role of Dark Triad on the link between Emotional Labor and Core Burnout
dark triad, core burnout
Andrada Busuioc
Universitatea din București
Andreea Butucescu
This study investigates whether the Dark Triad personality traits could be potential moderators of the relationship between the emotional labor and core burnout. The nonexperimental, cross-sectional study was based on a sample of 158 participants from different fields of activity. The results show that only narcissism (at medium and high scores) acts weakly as a moderator for the positive relation between emotional labor and burnout and, contrary to our hypothesis, it buffers the negative effects of emotional labor. These results can be explained in terms of Narcissism' conceptualization and are consistent with the newest proposed distinction form the literature between adaptive and maladaptive nature of this trait. Meanwhile the effects of the other moderators are insignificant. The results highlight both the importance of the emotional factor at work and the role of Dark Triad personality factors for core burnout.

UF cautioning players about Jumpman gear
Graham Hall
[Courtesy of UAA]
Florida coach Dan Mullen said the program has repeatedly cautioned players about selling Jordan-branded gear, but that the situation is difficult to oversee.
"It's really hard to monitor, in some ways. It's a lot of education of our players. It is something we've discussed over and over, even before they got a pair of sneakers, we've discussed it over and over with them — the responsibilities that they have with it, that comes from that way," Mullen said. "If you don't want the shoes, just tell us, we won't give them to you."
The potential infraction has made headlines recently as several of the four football programs featuring Jordan-branded gear have come under scrutiny.
After self-reporting the violations to the NCAA, North Carolina announced last week that 13 players will miss games while serving suspensions for selling team-issued shoes. And Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh said he doesn't expect any Wolverines players to be suspended for selling shoes, saying Monday all shoes issued to players have been accounted for. Harbaugh said any Jumpman-brand Michigan gear sold on the secondary market is due to former players and former assistant coaches initially having access to the gear.
Mullen didn't delve into specifics about accounting for a student-athlete's gear, instead stating the program attempts to see the situation from a player's point of view and educate from their perspective.
"18- to 22-year-olds a lot of times, you're always trying to view things through their eyes. That would be something when they're like 60, and they're sitting there with the grandkids — 'hey, check out these things, I got this from this bowl game, I got that here'," Mullen said. "You have some memorabilia and stuff, that type of thing that is kind of cool that they can have that they might not be thinking about right now. It's something we remind them of. It's a tough deal. You can make arguments on either side if you want."
Michigan's athletic program requires student-athletes sign and return forms that acknowledge any sale of team-issued gear will jeopardize eligibility. Michigan also said the players don't receive boxes with the gear, and all names and numbers are written on gear before it is issued to a student-athlete.
Regardless of which company is featured on the team-issued gear, the resale of said apparel is hardly new to collegiate athletics.
"I was listening to (former Alabama quarterback) Greg McElroy the other day, right, and he said 'you gave me a pair of shoes, they're mine, they're mine. What I do with them is my business, you gave them to me.' All right, like, right. Kind of an interesting thought process in it all, but you know we just constantly are educating our guys on, you're getting this special stuff because it's memorabilia, you know what i mean?," Mullen said. "I mean, it's really cool to have this and wear them. The NCAA rules, if you break the rules, you're not gonna be able to, we're gonna take you off the list of getting player exclusive stuff."

NCAA to athletes– yes, what you are doing could lead to brain damage and an early death or a lifetime spent with agonizing pain in your knees and we are among millions off your sweat, but if you sell a pair of shoes for 200 dollars you will be punished. Because we care about student athletes. We really do. Where would we be without cheap labor?

I don't think anyone is forcing these people to play a dangerous contact sport to earn an expensive degree. They could always get scholarships based on their scholastic abilities, or maybe not.
Gator-6 August 15, 2018 At 6:01 pm
Or, as Leland might say, nobody is forcing them to play an expensive contact support to earn a dangerous degree, either! Then again, I'm still trying to recover from his no comment comment a couple of stories back….I swear, if there was no Leland, we would have to invent him.
mveal2006 August 16, 2018 At 2:08 am
This reminds me of Wilbur Marshall selling his tickets for ten grand that unravelled the charley Pell era. Obviously not as bad.
Looks like the gators are managing the risks with the ncaa using sunlight and persuasion. Which looks like a good approach to me. Hopefully I don't have to eat these words.

vulcan alex August 15, 2018 At 2:21 pm
For this special stuff there should be a monthly inventory, if you are not willing to be held accountable just decline the stuff. I would have thought last year's experience would last several years at least. Follow the rules, and if in doubt don't do it or ask. Sure you might be poor relatively to other students, that won't last if you play well and be a good Gator and get your degree.
SoCal Gator August 15, 2018 At 8:30 pm
I'm torn on the subject. I played on scholarship. Nothing is given to you. You earn everything. Doing the math, you are below minimum wage when you factor in the amount of time you put in vs the actual cost of the education. That being said, rules are rules, and I never broke them(I never used stolen credit cards, lied to the cops, attacked women, brought fake guns and frying pans to altercations, got foot locker discounts, stole crab legs and soda, yelled obscenities in the student union, etc). I do however have some empathy towards the players point of view. More so because the school and the NCAA are no longer giving mve anything, but I'm still dealing with some injuries sustained while representing both of them for a few years. The rules are there to keep as level of a playing field as possible, considering the resources vary so much from school to school. The NCAA cares about nothing more than making money. They care nothing about the student athletes, but they are a governing body, and a necessary evil. The kids should hold onto the things that they earn. Unfortunately, there is not and never will be a perfect system in place. I'm typing this with my phone, so I apologize if my thoughts are jumbled together and not grammatically correct. Go Gators!
Growling Gator August 16, 2018 At 11:59 pm
Nobody forced you to play D1 sports. You were well aware of potential injuries. The school owes you nothing. As far as being paid below minimum wage? Most of us paid to go to school. We got paid zip! Kids play D1 sports, like football, to get to the next level. A large portion of these "student athletes" wouldn't sniff a college campus if not for sport. And a lot of these kids could give two cents about wearing their schools colors. They are there to play sports first. Getting an education is an after thought. D1 sports, like football and basketball, make a mockery of higher education. Just make them all semi-pro so everyone can stop crying about the injustice these kids are receiving. If you don't like the rules then don't participate.
How many of these kids have you spoken with personally? You seem to know everything, as you are painting everyone with the same large brush. If you would have actually read and digested my post, you would have realized that I'm in agreement with following the rules set forth. I was simply looking at the view from multiple perspectives. I haven't asked for anything from the school or the NCAA, nor will I ever. I was pointing out the well known fact that the NCAA is corrupt, but necessary. I wasn't forced to play, I did it because I loved playing football. And, I know for a fact, that there are plenty of division 1 athletes who know that they will not turn professional. They are there because they love their sport, and love their school. I know this because I have interacted with hundreds of them, and am still in contact with a lot of them. And make no mistake, the scholarships are earned. As are the shoes, bags, and everything else that is 'given' to them(within the rules). I wasn't paid zip, but I earned everything. If you are so against the student athletes, don't pay attention. You could start by ignoring websites like gatorsports.com

Trooper August 15, 2018 At 10:29 pm
Typical NCAA hypocrisy – everybody makes big bucks on the shoes except the athletes wearing them. The better the athlete, the more gratuitous TV and other media images of the shoes = more shoes sold. I would love to know how much money the coaches are making on the shoe contracts alone, not to mention the logo'd shirts, hats, sunglasses, etc. If even one cent is paid to a university, athletic department, or staff member because of the logo items, it should NOT be a violation for a player to sell a lousy pair of shoes. In fact, to end the sham and exploitation of the athletes, equipment and apparel should be bought and paid for by the athletic department, and NO logos should be on display. The billboards that coaches, players, and athletic programs in general have become is a pathetic display of "show me the money" that has become an embarrassment to college athletics (e.g. the ridiculous baby poop green lizard scales uniforms that created a spectacle more embarrassing than the performance of the team that wore them, which on second thought might have been a welcome diversion…) I wonder if we will ever be able to just play football and leave the marketing hype behind. Probably never again since ESPN hijacked college football (see "Trophy, Heisman").
So much for the purest form of sports, amateur athletics, huh? The reason I've always loved college football and never the NFL, but as Howard Cosell was fond of saying, "…just a shell of (its) former self".
Trooper August 16, 2018 At 8:48 am
No kidding. One only needs to recall what the post-season bowl games used to be about – football. Now you can't even tell what or where the bowl game is. They are all just snack food, restaurants, insurance, car parts, department stores, etc…. But judging from the salaries and perks for the bowl game directors and staff (while the vast amount of real work is actually done by unpaid volunteers – sweeet deal!), and the fact that very few students can actually afford tickets, it is not surprising. Just disillusioning (if that's even a word.) Apparently there is no longer any shame in selling anything to the highest bidder. Oh well, enough grouching – "Here come the Gators!!!!"

OK back to 🏈.
Was reading the ESPN and SI news on UF we are getting no respect from anyone. I actually like that. ESPN has us ranked 5 in their power rankings.
By this metric SC and LSU are going to be close. What I saw on ESPN SC or one of the shows an analyst said LSU is over rated. I know this isn't about the Jumpman topic but UGA, LSU and Miss St are the only SEC teams we are facing going ranked. FSU is the non-conf team. So at this point we are scheduled to play 4 ranked teams a Tennessee under new management that almost beat us, a Kentucky that almost clipped us last year, a Missou that clocked us. But we are better this year. I have to believe Mullen and Co are telling the truth in what they are sharing while not revealing too much even if the fan in me wants to know everything.
1. Alabama
2. Georgia
3. Auburn
4. Mississippi State
5. Florida
6. South Carolina
7. LSU
8. Texas A&M
9. Kentucky
10. Missouri
11. Ole Miss
12. Tennessee
13. Vanderbilt
14. Arkansas
No respect, but what else is new? No matter….that's motivation to wipe a few smirks off several faces. One, for instance, Miss State.

I was going to say the same thing
I don't get it but if the players like it and it helps attract recruits. Like the Gator Skin uni's not traditional but the players loved them.

Kate Stewart appoints PJ Smith as Recovery Community Lead Practitioner at Vitality Homes
Businesswoman Kate Stewart has recently unveiled her latest venture Vitality Homes, which will help integrate those previously addicted to drugs and alcohol back into society.
And to prepare for the launch of her first supported living site, Ms Stewart has been bolstering her team with leaders in recovery services.
Her latest recruit is PJ Smith who has joined the team as Recovery Community Lead Practitioner, with a wealth of experience having worked at Tom Harrison House - the UK's first and only addiction treatment centre for military veterans, The Brink - the UK's first alcohol-free bar and The Spider Project. He is also highly engaged in music, sports, arts and cultural activities within the city.
PJ joins his mother Jacquie Johnston-Lynch, who was in February appointed as Vitality Homes' Head of Service. Jacquie also has a plethora of experience including leading projects at The Brink, Tom Harrison House, and also The Raucous Caucus Recovery Chorus - the UK's first ever recovery choir.
Having personally suffered with alcohol and substance addiction, PJ has now been sober for twelve years. The 38-year-old has also been working in the recovery services industry for a decade since his recovery.
Vitality Homes will provide accommodation and 24-hour support for people who have overcome addiction and are drug and alcohol-free. It will help to integrate those people back into society through supported living.
Commenting on his new role, PJ said: "I am delighted to join Vitality Homes where I'll be helping those who really want to overcome drug and alcohol addiction to do so and help them to ease their way back into society.
"As a former addict, I can empathise with the service users on a different level. I will be assisting them with their self-respect, confidence, integrity, honesty and regaining their principals. Our aim is to cultivate a recovery community where people are supported in making better choices for themselves and taking responsibility for their own lives, and in addition to this I am enthusiastic about bringing the theme of arts, sports and culture to our project."
Founder Kate Stewart added: "PJ is the perfect candidate to take on this role. Having experienced a lot of what our service users have gone through, and coming out of the other side and recovering, he's an inspiration to all.
"I'm delighted that our service users will have PJ to lead them on their journeys. He will be their greatest support so that they feel confident in integrating back into the community and becoming productive members of society."
Vitality Homes' first site will be open in the coming weeks.

Marbella's restaurants are winning the favour of increasingly more people. Tourists and locals alike enjoy fine dining in and around the town, with many cuisines to choose from. As a reward, the Spanish edition of the famous Michelin restaurant guide will be launched in Marbella this year.
Being chosen as a host means Marbella can count itself amongst highly esteemed culinary cities such as Madrid and Barcelona. Never before has the yearly Michelin red guide been launched in a tourist resort, but it has not been a bad choice. The food scene in Marbella has developed itself splendidly since its transformation into a tourist hot spot for the rich & famous, starting as early as the 50s. Everything ranging from traditional Andalusian dishes to experimental sea food is served daily in the countless bistros and restaurants, amongst which three Michelin starred restaurants. There really is something for everyone, both in atmosphere and taste.
The exact location for the launch event of the Michelin guide in Marbella is Hotel Los Monteros. There couldn't have been a more suitable location, as the hotel's El Corzo restaurant was the first hotel restaurant in Spain to receive a Michelin star back in 1986. Today this iconic restaurant still offers traditional Mediterranean cuisine while being innovative at the same time. Seasonal menus and an extensive wine list ensure absolute culinary delight. Here, Europe's finest dining guide will be presented in a ceremony with the mayor of Marbella and top celebrity chef Dani Garcia on November 19 this year.
The Michelin Restaurant Guide launch in Marbella is only one of the town's many exciting events throughout the year. This blog regularly posts about Marbella property, lifestyle and events so if you want to stay up to date, be sure to check back soon!


If the value of ivy-case-fold-search is set to 'always, the search is always case-insensive, regardless of the input. Previously it was not possible to do a case-insensitive search when the input was not all lower case.
I'd like to avoid ivy-toggle-case-fold being a three way toggle. It should either toggle nil/auto or nil/always, depending on ivy-case-fold-search-default.
Also, since the change is over 15 lines, you'll need an Emacs Copyright Assignment. See the README for more info.
I think auto should stay the default value, as it works perfectly for almost all use cases and is also consistent with isearch-forward and friends. Both nil and always basically do the same thing, which is to overrule the default behaviour regarding case-sensitivity, and thus are only necessary in rather special cases. A toggle between nil and always, being both special cases, does not seem very useful to me.
I added the variable ivy-case-fold-search-default instead of hard-coding auto into ivy--reset-state in order for a wrapping function to be able to tell ivy how the search should be performed (by default). This is useful if you have an option in your counsel-package regarding case-sensitivity and want to relay that information to ivy.
But I probably should make ivy-case-fold-search-default a defvar instead of a defcustom, because this is not something the user is likely to ever change explicitly.
Does this make more sense to you now or do you still prefer a different solution than a three-way toogle?
I'll take care of the Emacs Copyright Assignment.
Say the input is test and the setting is auto. This means it's case-folded. A 1-way toggle to nil is useful to match test and not Test. Say the setting is nil. Toggling to auto is useful again. Assuming the user only inputs lower case, always is the same as auto. So only an auto <-> nil toggle is needed.
Now assume the setting is always. The only other useful state is nil. Again, only a 2-way toggle is needed: always <-> nil.
So I suggest to take user's setting of ivy-case-fold-search-default and toggle between that and nil.
Also note that the minibuffer is a regular edit field, you can use a key binding that toggles the case of e.g. symbol-at-point.
always case-insensive, regardless of the input.
I think I understand your point of view now, thanks for the explanation.
I will update the branch accordingly.
The Copyright Assignment is complete now.
Merged, thanks. How did you get the CA so fast?
You can send them a scanned copy of the signed document instead of a postal letter, which speeds up the process tremendously. They also respond to mails pretty fast, I got the confirmation mail within 48h after I sent the initial request.
Great. You can now use the CA to contribute to any part of Emacs: ELPA packages, Org-mode or the core.

Joint Task Force on Misclassification of Employees – Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry
Pennsylvania's Joint Task Force on Misclassification of Employees ("Task Force") held its fourth meeting of the year on April 22, 2022, the first in-person meeting since its assembly in January 2021. The Task Force is a bipartisan group of nominated volunteers representing business, labor, and government seeking to publicize a comprehensive understanding of worker misclassification and its consequences. This meeting occurred a month after the Task Force released its Annual Report, which outlined 15 unanimous recommendations to tackle employee misclassification. The Task Force plans to submit its final report in December 2022.
Employee misclassification occurs when an employer wrongfully categorizes a worker as an independent contractor despite legal factors, including the nature, type, and oversight requirements of the work, that are determinative of employee status.[1] Many companies hire workers as independent contractors rather than employees to avoid paying employee benefits, among other expenses. But this practice is especially costly for workers, who lose out on wages, benefits, unemployment compensation claims, and much more. Cost also shifts onto law-abiding businesses, who are forced to compete with employers who violate labor laws to cut corners and costs. In fact, it is estimated that employee misclassification costs state governments and taxpayers tens of millions of dollars every year.[2]
Deputy Secretary for Safety and Labor-Management Relations and Chairman of the Task Force, Basil Merenda, began the meeting with a debrief of a multi-State conference on employee misclassification and related labor issues. Discussion focused on Montana's method for determining whether a worker is an employee or independent contractor using an "AB Test" with a standard employer assumption, rather than the widely used "ABC Test." Under Montana's approach, the employment relationship is determined at the hiring stage, and companies must receive an independent contractor exemption certificate in order to hire such workers. The Task Force considered adopting this approach in Pennsylvania and stated that representatives from Montana would present at the next meeting.
The task force also invited workers to share their experiences being misclassified as independent contractors. One worker, a painter in the local contracting industry, recalled how he was misled to believe he was an employee of the company he worked for but ended up receiving a form 1099, a tax form for independent contractors, at the end of the year. According to this worker, "[t]he small business arena is an easy place for misclassification to occur."
Another worker recounted how misclassification has resulted in "the battle of [her] life right now." Karen was a custodian at her church for six years and claims she was an employee in every aspect. However, despite the church having control over her work schedule, pay, and tasks, she was classified as an independent contractor with no rights to employee benefits or paid time off. Karen stated that she wants the Task Force and others to know the devastation that misclassification has caused for people like her.
The Task Force will host its next meeting on Friday, May 27, 2022. More information about the task force and future meetings is available here.

National Trails Fund Grant Recipients Announced for 2012
American Hiking Society recently announced the recipients of National Trails Fund grants in 2012. Thanks to the generous support of our Charter Sponsors the NTF awarded a total of $26,000 in grants this year.
SILVER SPRING, MD - American Hiking Society has recently announced the recipients of National Trails Fund grants in 2012. Thanks to the generous support of our Charter Sponsors, L.L.Bean and Cascade Designs (Therm-a-Rest and MSR), the National Trails Fund (NTF) awarded a total of $26,000 in grants this year. A cumulative total of $540,500 has been awarded to trail clubs over the life of the program, since its inception in 1998.
American Hiking Society received 104 applications from organizations in 36 states, seeking funding from the NTF in 2012. Of these, eleven outstanding projects were chosen.
"It's a tough job to have to choose grant winners from so many worthy applicant organizations, and the committee takes it very seriously," said Kerri Dellisanti, Public Relations Manager for Cascade Designs. "We are always humbled and inspired by the hard work and dedication given by so many individuals to repair, establish and promote hiking trails in their communities."
The following organizations have been awarded grants ranging between $500 and $5,000 to support trail projects:
• Appalachian Mountain Club, NH
• Butler Outdoor Club, PA
• Colorado Mountain Club, CO
• Florida Trail Association, FL
• Friends of Lake Barkley, KY
• Newton Marasco Foundation, VA
• Pine Mountain Trail Conference, KY
• Starflower Experiences, NY
• Trails4All, CA
• Wilton Wildlife Preserve & Park, NY
• Wilderness International, ID
The funds will allow recipients to create, expand and renovate hiking trails throughout the country. This year, several grant winners will be using their funds to implement better erosion controls on their favorite trails. Depending on the project, this will involve the installation of water bars and fortified embankments. Proper drainage systems ensure the long-term sustainability of trails, circumventing damage done by severe weather.
Winners are also using their funds to improve hiking experiences by removing graffiti and installing new, updated signage. Butler Outdoor Club and Colorado Mountain Club will be improving signage at each of their respective trails. Directional signage enables hikers to feel safe, as well as preserving sensitive natural spaces by keeping hikers on the trail. A few of the winners are also improving accessibility by constructing new trails, connecting existing trails and providing new walkways.
"L.L.Bean recognizes the important role that outdoor recreationalists have in being good stewards of the resource. We applaud American Hiking Society's efforts to establish, protect, and maintain America's foot trails. We are proud to sponsor the American Hiking Society's National Trails Fund to support the critical role the volunteer stewards play at the local level," stated Janet Wyper, L.L.Bean's Manager of Community Relations.
Even as great work is accomplished for America's trails this year by these grant recipients, there will always be more work to be done to protect our trails. Applications will be accepted beginning in early November 2012 for the 2013 NTF grants.
