While winemaking in Drama dates back to antiquity, the region did not emerge onto the modern winemaking scene until the 1980s. Ktima Pavlidis was created in 1998 with 160 acres of estate vineyards planted with a mix of international and indigenous Greek varietals.
The Ktima Pavlidis winery and vineyards are located in the region of Drama in Eastern Macedonia. This region is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and by the Aegean Sea to the south. This unique topography provides the estate vineyards with a special microclimate, with cool winds during the night that prolong the ripening period and give the grapes the opportunity to ripen slowly and evenly.
All wines are made exclusively with estate-grown fruit, in order to control the quality of production. Each of the estate vineyards has an on-site weather station which allows the viticultural team to closely monitor conditions during the growing season, ensuring that grapes are harvested during optimal ripeness. The grapes are hand-harvested at night and refrigerated during transportation in order to take advantage of the cooler temperature and preserve the varietals' aromatics and natural acidity. At the estate's modern winemaking facility, the team uses a gentle approach, utilizing light crushing, temperature-controlled maceration and gravity-flow transfers in order the faithfully preserve the characteristics of the grapes without over extraction or harsh tannins. The resulting wines from Ktima Pavlidis are high-quality, terroir-driven wines with enjoyable aromatic and flavor profiles, with a distinct and recognizable personality.

I can never forget what happened on September 11th, 2001. It was the scariest day of my life.
It was the beginning of the sixth grade for me, I was at a new school, and was living in Metro New York (where I grew up).
My teacher's cell phone had rang around ten of 9 am. This was unusual, in 2001, cell phones weren't what we use them as now, but rather for emergencies only. She saw it was her daughter and took the call into the hall. She came back in with tears running down her face. Her daughter who lived a few blocks from the WTC had said that a plane crashed into the tower.
She told us about the "accident". We were in disbelief. A few minutes later, our principal came in and told us what had happened, and as she stood there, she heard news of the second strike. This was no accident. She told us, a room full of 10 and 11 year olds that we couldn't utter a word about this outside the classroom because our school was K-6, and she didn't want anyone under the age of 10 to hear of this. She than ran out and a few minutes later came back in and declared that school had to move to to the basement.
Teachers were shaking, crying, and carrying folders. Folders with student's contact information, like where their parents worked. Because when you live a little under an hour from Manhattan, you were about guaranteed to have one or both parents working in the city. We stayed in the basement, we had no idea why. But we had to stay calm and play games.
We were under attack. This was a war. How did this happen. We were living in a nightmare. Not an idea of what was happening, and fearing for our lives.
All day, students were in and out of the room. Teachers asking them where their parents and guardians were. We hadn't seen any of the footage. Parents came in and took their children out. I just stayed there, my mom was a single mom and working. My dad who had worked in the city, and actually at the Twin Towers during the 93 bombing, was at a business trip in Florida.
I didn't see anything until I got home that day and that's all that played. We just sat there and watched the news. How could this happen. In the days and weeks that followed it was constant fear. But at the same time, unity. We had come together, every store had an American Flag hanging up, every street corner with a sign that said "God Bless the USA". It was that comforting fact that we were all together during this horrific time, that made it easier.
Almost as if the American flag was a blanket, just comforting us and protecting us. United We Stand. We were all afraid but not alone. We all made new friends.
I remember a day or two after the attacks, Z100 had released a remix of Enrique Inglesis' "Hero", which still brings tears to my eyes.
I just want to say, God Bless America. I mean it from the bottom of my heart. And God Bless all those who lost anyone during that horrific day, and anyone who is still suffering from it. To this day, first responders are still suffering from the aftermath, from the debris and smoke. I encourage all of you to observe a moment of silence to remember all the innocent lives lost that day, and to be thankful. Thank your local fire departments, police, EMTs. And say a prayer or send a thought to all those who lost a mother, father, son, daughter, aunt, uncle..etc. Because they don't just think about 9/11 during September but every day of their life.
God bless and keep us safe. Thanks for sharing your story.

Not exactly unexpected (at least not by me), but the Republicans blocked bills to restore habeas corpus and the Webb Amendment to guarantee troops as much time out of Iraq as in it. In both cases they got 56 votes in favor, with a handful of Republicans voting with the Democrats, and not-even-pretending-to-be-a-Democrat-anymore Joe Lieberman voting against them.
The ACLU seems to think that just getting a majority of votes to restore habeas is some kind of great victory, but the only real victory would be to, y'know, actually restore habeas. Of course, even if the Democrats had been able to muster 60 votes on either bill, Dubya still would have vetoed, so the best bet really would have been to NEVER HAVE VOTED AGAINST HABEAS IN THE FIRST PLACE. But I digress.
The only positive that I see here, and the reason that trying to bring these bills to a vote is worthwhile, it that the Republicans have to go on record by voting against civil liberties, and voting against the well-being of the troops. If the Democrats are smart, they'll force them to explain those votes over and over again in 2008 – especially the Webb Amendment, which should be devastating to the hypocrites who blather insincerely about how Democrats undermine our troops while Republicans support them.
The only thing better would be to force the Republicans to actually filibuster. I really can't think of any good reason not to.
It's sad that a party would let itself be used to oppose the public interest, and as Eli says, their death knell.
The Republicans could care less about the public interest, although I really don't understand why they're so willing to commit electoral suicide.

Roy Rogers Festival opens

Dodie Rogers Patterson, the youngest daughter of Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, feels right at home in Scioto County.
"It has been great to be here where my dad was raised," Patterson said, as she attended the opening of the dealers room at the 32nd annual Roy Rogers Festival held in the Holiday Inn in Portsmouth. "I love coming here. We've gone out to the (boyhood) home (on Duck Run) just about every year. We talk about some of the stories he told us and we think about how they grew up. So it gets us back in touch. It's like coming home now."
Vendors laid out their collections and took the opportunity to tell their stories to everyone attending the event.
"I have a lot of 8-by-10 black and white (pictures) of the different cowboys and like Elvis and Marilyn Monroe as well," Beverly Moore of Atlanta, Georgia said. "I have some of these trading cards of Lash Larue and Rex Allen and Roy Rogers and the different cowboys that we knew in the movies. It tickles me because I really met those people. I met Roy and Dale and I met Rex Allen and Eddie Dean."
Collecting cowboy paraphernalia is not new to Moore.
"I've been doing this since I was six years old," Moore said. "I'm a big fan of the cowboys. My brothers say, 'aren't you ever gonna grow up?' and I say I hope I never do."
Lynn Hubbard has a cause that is near to her heart.
"I'm an author and publisher, and I'm here representing our veterans today," Hubbard said. "I'm collecting donations for a PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) project I'm working on. PTST is running rampant and it's a collection of person stories from veterans. I'm putting them together in a book and I'm going to be distributing the book across the country to veterans hospitals."
Hubbard said more information is available at ptsdnoapologies.com.
One of the best known citizens of Scioto County, Dr. John Simon, had his table containing his books set up for the event as well. Simon finished writing a book about Roy Rogers' boyhood that had been started by his sister, Cleda Slye Willoughby last year.
"Cleda got cancer and she was my friend and she called me and said she had the book partly written but I don't think I'm going to live to finish it and she asked me to finish it," Simon said. "At the time I was writing Cowboy Copas which took me 10 years. So I didn't do anything on this (Roy Rogers book) until I got that (Cowboy Copas book) finished."
George Uppling publishes The Wagon Way a newspaper with a western theme.
"We're here to try to promote our Wagon Way," Uppling said. "I've been hauling horses all over the country for years and doing stories on trail rides and wagon trains."
From the "A Team" to "Knight Rider" to "Daniel Boone" and even "Fantasy Island," you would be hard pressed to find a TV series or even a movie that Russ McCubbin was not in.
"I have been to 23 of these (Roy Rogers Festival)," McCubbin said. "I live in Charleston, West Virginia. I left Hollywood in 1992. When you get old they run you off."
Hank Garrett has done between 275 and 280 movies and TV series over the years. His most famous role was in the TV series "Car 54 Where Are You?"
"I raise funds for disabled American veterans," Garrett said. "I won the New York Film Critics Award for a movie with Robert Redford called 'Three Days of the Condor,' and I have the video. I autograph it and personalize videos of 'Car 54' that no one else in the world has. So far I have raised over $40,000 for the vets and I will continue doing this."
Those in attendance were anticipating a visit to the Roy Rogers boyhood home and a session in which they could ask the stars in attendance questions. Friday's schedule begins at 9 a.m. with the dealers room open to the public, questions and answers with the stars from 11 a.m. until noon, a 2 p.m. visit to the Roy Rogers boyhood home and food and entertainment at 7 p.m. at the Holiday Inn in Portsmouth.

Board of Elections hires permanent deputy director
Hasan Karim
Marion Star
MARION - The Marion County Board of Elections has hired a permanent deputy director after turmoil in the office in November saw the previous one fired.
The board voted during a special meeting on Wednesday to hire Democrat Cindy Price to the position, who is expected to serve in that role until at least 2021. Her annual salary will be $56,264.
Marion County elections official Phyllis Eshman-Thomas, a Democrat, said Price was chosen due to her experience in administering elections and crafting ballot language for unions and organizations that deal with correctional educators.
Fellow elections official Lynn Zucker, a Republican, said Price's time in public office also won the board over. The election board had interviewed two candidates last week before making their final decision.
Price, a longtime village council member for LaRue and a retired teacher, said it's important to restore confidence as the office faced controversy following November's midterm.
A meeting on Nov. 8 —called by the board to discuss personnel matters— left the former Deputy Director Sue Schwamberger, a Democrat, without a job. A 3-1 vote was reached to fire her.
Zucker cited at the November meeting that the termination was due to "a continued unsatisfactory performance."
A vote was also called to terminate the contract of then Republican Director John Meyer. However, it was split along party lines. The Republican Secretary of State Frank LaRose weighed in on the matter last month, siding with the democrats on the election board to remove Meyer.
An interim director and deputy director were appointed last month as the office prepares for the upcoming primary. They will train Price as she waits for the results of a routine drug test and background check.
Price served as an educator for 31 years, working with the Ohio Department of Youth Services and the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction. During that time she handled elections for the Correctional Education Association.
She was also on a three person committee that oversaw union elections for the State Council of Professional Educators.
As deputy director for elections in Marion County, she hopes to introduce programs that encourage young people to get more involved with the voting process.
The Marion County Board of Elections is in the process of finding a permanent director as well. Zucker said they have completed the initial stages in the search, required by the state. The deadline for applicants for that position was Friday.
In the coming weeks, the Republican members of the board said they hope to narrow down applicants before having them interviewed by the board as a whole.
Price said she hopes to get into the office next week to start her training. She plans on resigning as a council member for LaRue and as a member of the board for the Scioto Valley Fire District, to avoid any conflicts of interest.

Rachel Dolezal's story, a study of race and identity, gets 'crazier and crazier' – Los Angeles Times
Rachel Dolezal has sparked a national conversation about some of the most sensitive issues in American life — race, gender, identity and cultural inheritance. Chances are, however, it is not the teachable moment the self-made civil rights activist once dreamed about.
Dolezal, 37, resigned Monday as president of the Spokane, Wash., NAACP chapter amid revelations that she is a white woman posing as black. Her charade was exposed last week by her white parents, who live in Montana and have not seen their estranged daughter in years.
Dolezal's story raises questions about the power of race in a nation that has been publicly debating the issue since Eric Garner and Michael Brown died last summer in altercations with police, giving rise to protests, arrests and the rallying cry "Black Lives Matter."
Dolezal's case highlights Americans' conflicting sentiments about the country's increasingly multicultural population and about who gets to decide what race people identify with. The swift, loud response to her startling situation swirls around the issue of white privilege and the co-opting of a cultural identity.
This much is known for sure: An ambitious activist in a mid-sized city in a far-flung corner of the Lower 48 last Thursday unleashed a storm of anger and sympathy that spread coast to coast and shows no sign of abating. She was scheduled to speak publicly about the controversy Monday night, but canceled her appearance. Instead, she sent a letter of resignation to the NAACP's national headquarters and posted a lengthy explanation on the Spokane chapter's Facebook page.
She spoke about the fight that lies ahead to move "the cause of human rights and the Black Liberation Movement along the continuum … and into a future of self-determination and empowerment." She did not address the allegations that she lied about her race. She did not apologize for the controversy.

"Despite the fact that many people have liberal and malleable ideas about race, they're really stuck in a very black-is-black and white-is-white ideology," said Baz Dreisinger, author of "Near Black: White-to-Black Passing in American Culture." "When a scenario like this comes around to upend those categories, it's a shocker ….
"This is very bold," she said, "and it keeps getting crazier and crazier."
Dolezal has been lauded for revitalizing Spokane's chapter of the 106-year-old civil rights organization. But according to court documents obtained Monday by The Times, when she was a graduate student in art at Howard University, she sued the historically black school in Washington, D.C., charging that she was a victim of racial discrimination.

When it comes to family fights, the Dolezal dispute may have surmounted all others with its bitter and bizarre allegations. Now, the question is what happens to Rachel Dolezal, the NAACP leader in Spokane, Wash., whose parents claim she has faked being black. The National Assn. for the Advancement… ( Tina Susman )
Dolezal — who was married to a man named Kevin Moore and known as Rachel Moore at the time — claimed that university officials removed some of her artwork from a student exhibit in 2001 "for a discriminatory purpose to favor African American students" over her, according to an appeals court's summary of her arguments.
She also claimed university officials took her scholarship away and denied her a teaching assistantship because she was pregnant. Her claims were dismissed by upper and lower courts alike. A spokeswoman for Howard University declined to comment Monday, calling the matter resolved.
The couple divorced in March 2005, according to court documents. That year, she told the court that she taught science and art part time at a school called River City Christian Academy and was an adjunct professor at North Idaho College in Coeur d'Alene, which is across the Washington-Idaho border from Spokane.
Dolezal recently walked away from a TV reporter who confronted her about her race. The reporter from KXLY in Spokane showed Dolezal a photograph of an elderly black man whose picture was on the Spokane NAACP's Facebook page and asked whether it was her father. "Yes, that's my dad," she replied. Then, when asked whether she is African American, Dolezal replied, "I don't understand the question," and walked away.
Dolezal's mother and father, who adopted three African American children and one Haitian child, say she has passed as black despite not having any African American heritage.
"She may have felt that she had some advantage in her activism by being portrayed as a black woman," her mother, Ruthanne Dolezal, said on NBC's "Today" show Monday. "We hope that Rachel will get the help she needs to deal with her identity issues. Of course we love her, and we hope that she will come to a place where she knows and believes and speaks the truth."
Rachel Dolezal's father said they had not spoken about their daughter's race before because they had never been asked.
Family says Spokane NAACP head falsely portrays herself as black

Controversy is swirling around one of the Spokane region's most prominent civil rights activists, with family members saying the local leader of the NAACP has falsely portrayed herself as black for years.

"We had never been asked to be involved, we had never been questioned before, but just short of a week ago, we were contacted by the Coeur d'Alene Press," Lawrence Dolezal said on the "Today" show.
"I guess it was part of some investigative reporting that was being done and somehow they got wind of us as her parents as a possibility, so they contacted us to see if we were, in fact, her parents," Lawrence Dolezal said. "We taught our children, as we raised all six of them, to tell the truth, always be honest. So we weren't going to lie; we told the truth: Rachel is our birth daughter."
Rachel Dolezal has not spoken publicly about the uproar; on Tuesday she is expected to appear on the "Today" show.
In an interview Monday with The Times after Dolezal resigned, the NAACP's national president, Cornell William Brooks, said that the disgraced former chapter leader was widely liked and respected in Spokane, where there is "a great deal of disappointment and pain now."
Brooks also insisted that "racial identity is not a qualifying or disqualifying characteristic for leadership or membership within the NAACP. It's just not something that's a criterion. … It would be surprising to me that it even comes up."
What is important is the organization's "institutional integrity," Brooks told The Times. "Having credibility in terms of truth-telling is critically important."
When pressed about the fact that Dolezal had lied about her identity, Brooks said: "No. Lying is not consistent with our values."
Ed Prince, executive director of the Washington State Commission on African American Affairs, said the outrage over the Dolezal case "goes to the heart of white privilege. An African American can never wake up and say, 'I'm gonna make my hair blond, put on white makeup and go through my day as a white person.' Not that [Dolezal] consciously thought, 'If I don't like it I can go back and be a white lady,' but she appropriated."

Debunking Obama's Do-Nothing Stance On Syria (TWEET)
Rebecca Travis
Apparently, there is a rumor going around that former President Barack Obama did nothing in Syria.
Syria's brutal civil war has claimed almost half a million lives and left the country in ruins, and many people have taken to blaming Obama for somehow either causing the crisis or not doing anything about it. They believe he "drew a line in the sand" and then "backed off of that line."
Then, they praise current President Donald Trump of launching 59 missiles at the country in the hopes of doing any good.
So, let's get this narrative straight once and for all.
The "line in the sand" thing is a bastardized translation of a quote given by Obama when he was talking about monitoring the Syrian situation while he was president. In his quote, he was talking about a "red line" that would get his attention and require immediate intervention. Here is the quote below:
"We have been very clear to the Assad regime, but also to other players on the ground, that a red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized. That would change my calculus. That would change my equation."
Then, on August 21, 2013, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad ordered a chemical attack utilizing sarin gas, the same gas used to prompt Trump's missile launch, in Ghouta, Syria. It took nearly 2,000 lives and injured over 3,600 people.
But, instead of utilizing Trump's overbearing tactic, he went ahead and made sure Syria could not use chemical weapons for nearly four years.
At the time, many were actually calling for Obama to not take action. Among those, such as former half-term Governor, Sarah Palin (R-Alaska.) and former Representative Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), was this guy:
What will we get for bombing Syria besides more debt and a possible long term conflict? Obama needs Congressional approval.
Who knew he would end up firing them without congressional approval just a few years later?
So, Obama listened to the people and the polls that overwhelmingly told him to not take action in Syria.
However, congressional approval was given to him anyway, and that is when Assad took Obama at his word and caved on his end which allowed his chemical weapons stockpile to be destroyed in an agreement that happened between Russia and the United States.
Obama, as history has shown us, opted to work with governments to come to conclusions while carrying a big stick, just in case.
Barack Obama not only had more impact on Syria, who wouldn't utilize a chemical weapon again until he was out of office, but he did it without firing one ounce of military action that was given to him by our Congress.
It looks as if Obama's tactics worked better than Trump's.

13th — 17th JUL 10:00 — 14:00 H.
Aimed at teachers and at individuals interested in art and education.
To plan a performance as if it were a crime. To choose the location, to think about the attitudes, to consider possible setbacks, and to set our watches are only some of the actions and decisions we need to tackle. Once the script is done, coordination among the performers is essential, as well as the negotiation of unforeseen factors. We will dedicate the whole week of the workshop to the planning of this action, and to its later execution, as well as to analyzing and discussing the implications of this kind of performances, where, despite having calculated all factors, the audience is captive, since there is no predetermined way for the action, and the place where it happens is full of unforeseen factors, since it is the public space. We will also analyze works by other artists who have, at some point, "perpetrated" happenings, like Allan Kaprow for Calling, Oscar Massota in The Helicopter or Katerina Seda, Alex Reynolds or Dora García herself in some of her works.
Dora García is an artist whose work is focused on the creation of situations that can de-construct conventions and codes of behavior, especially between the work, the artist, and the spectator. Whether she works in the public sphere, in museums or in galleries, her work explores Brecht's theater, Artaud's impact, but also characters like Lenny Bruce, Jack Smith, or Guy de Cointet. She has researched areas from the inadequate as a mode of dissidence to the role of art practice in the configuration of subjectivity, as well as the questioning of the categories of health and illness.
Since 2009, we have been running a summer performance workshop aimed at teachers, educators, and artists interested in education, with the desire to establish bonds of collaboration, to reflect together with the educators at the Center, the teachers, the assistants, and the guest artist on educational processes and the performative aspect of education. After the workshops with Los Torreznos, Tania Bruguera, Pere Faura, Itziar Okariz, Norberto Llopis and Nilo Gallego, we are planning a new summer performance workshop, in this case, with Dora García.

Economy, Politics
Ray Markey. The myths surrounding penalty rates.
By P&I Guest Archive
The article below by Professor Ray Markey was posted before the release of the recent Productivity Commission Report on penalty rates.
Following the release of the report, Professor Markey commented as follows:
'The Productivity Commission report presents no new evidence for increased employment from reduced penalty rates. Mainly there are theoretical economic arguments and modelling based on it. Time use survey data is very selectively cited and dated anyway since the last survey was in 2006. It clearly shows that people prefer weekends for being with family and friends and does not refer to studies showing it is difficult to make up during the week for this weekend time being lost due to work. The one new argument in the report is very interesting, namely that the onus of proof about the impact of reduced penalty rates on employment should be reversed i.e. employers shouldn't have to prove this is the case to get changes – clearly an admission of a lack of evidence.
It is tiring to hear penalty rates linked with productivity as the minister responsible, Senator Cash, did on radio this morning. It has nothing to do with productivity and neither the Productivity Commission nor the main employer submissions made this claim. Productivity increases would require increased output relative to inputs (labour). Reducing penalty rates will increase employer income and potentially profits, but it is inconceivable how it affects productivity positively. If the argument that employment will increase as a result of reduced penalty rates is true, it may have a negative impact on productivity. Cheaper labour costs certainly provide incentives for employers not to engage in innovation to increase productivity and this is the trap for low wage economies such as New Zealand, where they struggle with lower productivity than Australia and lower wages. Reducing penalty rates, therefore, is a distraction from the Prime Minister's focus on an innovation agenda.'
In the current review of modern awards before the Fair Work Commission, employers are challenging the level of penalty rates. At the same time, the Productivity Commission says excessive penalty rates for Sundays reduce hours worked, mean unemployment is higher than it needs to be, and reduce options for businesses and consumers. It wants Sunday penalty rates in some sectors to be set at the Saturday rate.
A penalty rate for Sunday work was first implemented in Australia for working "unsocial" hours in 1919. The 1947 'Weekend Penalty Rates Case' expanded penalty rates to Saturdays, while Sundays were set at a rate of double time. Later decisions specified that workers would need to be compensated for the loss of opportunity for family life and social time resulting from weekend work.
More than 60 years on, employers argue the world has changed. It has, but many of the arguments employers make are not supported by the evidence.
Myth 1: Given extended trading hours, it's no longer abnormal for people to work weekends
Most employees still do not work unsocial hours. According to the Australian Work and Life Index, 38 per cent of workers work unsocial hours; only 32.2 per cent of workers work weekends and 18.9 per cent of workers work evenings after 9pm regularly. These figures include the 13.1 per cent of workers who work both evenings and weekends regularly.
Myth 2: It's only young single people that work weekends.
While being single with no children is more common than other family types among these workers, they are not a majority: there are also many couples both with and without children, and sole parents.
Women are also more likely than men to work weekends. HILDA data indicates that only 22 per cent of male and 21 per cent of female weekend workers were dependent students; in other words, 78 per cent of all weekend workers were not dependent and pay their own bills.
Myth 3: The disadvantages of working weekends are only bad for those who work very long hours.
Employers argue that the adverse effects associated with working weekends are only relevant to those who work very long hours, and that the days and times themselves are no longer relevant, either because people no longer engage in the activities which previous decisions attempted to protect, or because these activities can be made up on other days and at other times.
But those who work on weekends do so at the sacrifice of time with friends and family, time which cannot be simply made up through time spent at other times during the week. This is particularly acute on Sundays, which remain a time for spending time with family. In spite of claims to the contrary, the differentiation between Saturdays and Sundays remains relevant in modern Australian society.
In general, the recompense of penalty rates is the key reason for willingly working weekends; with far fewer doing so to meet their own flexibility needs. However, the experience of the Work Choices era, and the importance and power of employer expectation, does suggest that many employees would not, in the absence of penalty rates, be able to avoid weekend work due to fear of losing their jobs, and indeed employees being forced to work weekends for no extra pay seems the most likely consequence of removing penalty rates.
Myth 4: Those who work in industries that pay penalty rates are not low paid.
Many workers on penalty rates are among the low paid. According to the Australian Work and Life Index, 37.8 per cent of workers who work weekends only and receive penalty rates rely on these to meet household expenses. This increases to 48.8 per cent for those working both evenings and weekends, and 52.2 per cent for Sundays only.
Myth 5: Reducing or eliminating penalty rates would increase employment.
The empirical evidence for increased employment as a result of reducing penalty rates is non-existent. Employer arguments have been based essentially on economic theory, which is merely hypothesis in the absence of empirical confirmation. What may be relevant in terms of the impact of wages on employment is that none of the available empirical evidence suggests minimum wages have a significant effect on net employment, a point reiterated by the Productivity Commission.
While some studies do suggest a substitution effect, this would be a matter of balancing one set of employed workers against another — older workers versus youth. However, a number of studies suggest no effect at all, and some suggest a positive effect.
Given the evidence, it is difficult to see any benefits likely to accrue from the abolition or reduction of penalty rates for employees, employment levels or greater availability of services to the public.

The 22-year-old managed to regain her composure and forced a playoff with So Yeon Ryu, which she lost on the first hole.
But Ryu prevailed in the first sudden-death hole, netting her $405,000 for first place. LPGA rules officials told Thompson she was being hit with a pair of two-shot penalties from an action Saturday, taking Thompson from a two-shot lead to a two-shot deficit in the LPGA's first major championship of the year.
Ryu played consistently, carding four consecutive sub-70 rounds.
Asked about dealing with the memories of past year, the world No 6 added: "It will surely be there and it has been".
"It was a great final round", said Pettersen, a 15-time LPGA Tour victor.
Unfortunately for Lexi Thompson, the ruling she learned about walking off the 12th green Sunday at the ANA Inspiration was anything but a joke. Win here, you become a member of one of the world's most exclusive golf clubs and can come back and play in this tournament as long as you like.
She came into the ANA Inspiration as the money leader with US$387,166 (S$541,161) and the scoring leader at 67.938 strokes per round.
A television viewer alerted officials that Thompson marked her ball and then put it back in an improper place before her putt on the 17th green in the third round.
"To penalise her the two strokes and then two for signing an incorrect scorecard. you talk about following the letter of the law and they did, but did they do it in the spirit of the game?"
"It was disappointing not to make birdie on the last to join the playoff". Most impressively, he responded from his quadruple bogey by carding a birdie on two of the next three holes. She sank a 16-foot birdie putt on No. 13 to tie for a lead that later briefly went to a five-way tie. We both played really well.
"It's a amusing game", Johnson said.
"I would say that Phil has a lot better chance of winning this year than I did when I was 46", Nicklaus said. "I don't feel like I can fly under the radar anymore, but at the same time, it has sort of felt that way to me and it has been nice to be able to prepare and just go about my business and try to get ready for this tournament".
"I've got a lot of confidence in my game right now, especially with the way I've been playing the last few tournaments", said Johnson, who took over as world number one in February.
Speaking to the Golf Channel, Thompson said: "It is unfortunate with what happened, I did not mean that at all, I had no idea that I did it. I can't do anything about it, so why would I think about it?' That mentality that the bad shot never happened is what Tiger had, is what Phil (Mickelson) has to have". I will do all I can to see all the positives and to grind it out like in 2015.

Q: jQuery Unobtrusive Validation Trigger Does someone know what is the event that triggers unobtrusive valdation: onchange; onleave, etc.?
I want to trigger the event with
$(element).trigger('event_name')

rather than
$(element).validate()

because of nulls validation rules.

A: Isn't that the submission of validated form? Of course if the given element is a form element.
Below quote from the plugin site (http://jqueryvalidation.org/reference/)

Validation event
By default, forms are validated on submit, triggered by the user clicking the submit button or pressing enter when a form input is focused (option onsubmit). In addition, once a field was highlighted as being invalid, it is validated whenever the user types something in the field (option onkeyup). When the user enters something invalid into a valid field, it is also validated when the field loses focus (option onblur).
The goal of these interactions is to provide feedback as early as possible, whilst avoiding user annoyance. Displaying error messages before the user had the chance to even type something is not helpful.

North Coast could be in line to host a state game, or two
By barstoolfanatics on December 4, 2019 • ( Leave a comment )
Submitted photo – The St. Bernard's players celebrate their NCS title on Saturday.
By Ray Hamill — The Del Norte Warriors and St. Bernard's Crusaders are hoping to make history in more ways than one this weekend.
The two H-DNL teams will play for a NorCal Regional championship in football, and both will have to travel to do so.
If, however, either or both should win it's being reported they would likely get to host a state bowl game here on the North Coast next weekend.
That would be a first ever for the area, something both sets of players, no doubt, are well aware of.
"They know what's at stake," St. Bernard's head coach Matt Tomlin said of his players. "If we win there's a really good chance we can host a state championship, and I think they want to be the first team to host a state game in Humboldt County."
Thats something local sports fans would relish, and a potential doubleheader of state games at the Redwood Bowl would be one of the greatest sporting occasions in the history of the North Coast — especially if they could both win.
Of course, each of them will first have to take care of business against very tough opponents this weekend before they can start thinking of hosting a state bowl game.
In Division 5-AA, Del Norte (12-1) will play at King's Academy (10-3) in Sunnyvale, while in Division 6-AA St. Bernard's (10-3) will play East Nicolaus (12-1) in Yuba City.
There are no easy games in December, and any team still playing at this stage of the season is going to be good.
The H-DNL, however, has done a good job recently preparing teams for the postseason, winning five NCS championships in the past five years, to go with two state titles (and counting).
Whether either or both of these programs can add to that tally in the coming 10 days remains to be seen, but one thing is certain.
The H-DNL has become a legitimate force when it comes to the state playoffs, and hosting a state bowl game or two next weekend would be a fantastic occasion for fans here.

Meet R Rules, The Newest Girl Group Under MCA Music Inc.
Four-piece girl group R Rules are set to make a splash in the music scene with their empowering anthems.
Giving value to pop music through their hard work and universal appeal, the promising rookies are ready to share their unique music journey to inspire and bring joy to music fans all over the world. Previously signed under a different label, R Rules (formerly known as Japh Dolls) are composed of RIYO, RURI, REINA, RISA—all four of them, fluent in Filipino, English, and Japanese and are currently undergoing de rigeur trainee development program to hone their skills. Get to know the girls behind R Rules:
Watch here: R Rules Artist Reveal
"Through our music, we want to showcase women empowerment," says the group. "Women can work hard and still enjoy life. We want to express how we can be independent and still be happy with our lives. Also, in terms of music genre, we are pop but more importantly, we will sound like our goals, visions, and anything that inspires it."
Their compelling story and unique vision caught the attention of MCA Music Inc., which supported R Rules as they embarked on the new chapter of their music journey.
"We found about R Rules through my co-A&R Daddy A of Def Jam Philippines," Lloyd 'Tiny' Corpuz, Senior A&R Manager Pop Label - UMG Philippines shares in a statement. "He endorsed the ladies to the team, and we happily took them in because of their story. They were a girl group before with a different name. But we want to approach things differently by starting from scratch. We want to guide them in every step of the way."

Tiny also praised the group for their hard work and dedication to achieve their dreams as artists. "There is that sense of ownership and accountability in what they do. They overflow with passion, and I really appreciate their core values as a group and as individuals. They're a joy to work with, and each of them has a compelling story to tell."
R Rules, in return, are happy to be part of MCA Music Inc.'s growing pop music roster, which includes some of the biggest household names in any genre—from Zack Tabudlo to Darren Espanto.

"It has been a rollercoaster ride for all of us so we are beyond grateful to be part of MCA," the girl group admits. "Working with the label so far, we are enjoying every bit of thing that is given to us, and working with the team is such a blessing because of how they treat us. They are already like our 2nd family.
The rising pop sensation will be releasing their official debut single under MCA Music Inc. very soon and it's definitely something to watch out for! Follow R Rules on their socials so you won't miss a thing.


Graduation speeches and most of the self-help books and well-meaning therapists preach the gospel of "following your passion." It is based on the belief that if only you follow your passion (assuming you know what is your passion) you will be forever happy and satisfied no matter what you do in life.
If you match this passion to your job, then you'll enjoy that job.
There is the perfect job somewhere out there waiting for you.
However, research shows that many people don't have preexisting passions and workplace satisfaction far more complex than matching interest, emotions and job description. Cal Newport says that the 'follow your passion' not only is the cliche flawed—preexisting passions are rare and have little to do with how most people end up loving their work—but it can also be dangerous, leading to anxiety and chronic job hopping.
Rather than following your passion, Newport argues that passion is something to cultivate and build.
When you hear the stories of people who ended up loving what they do, this same pattern comes up again and again. They start by painstakingly developing rare and valuable skills — which we can call career capital. They then leverage this capital to gain rare and valuable traits in their career. These traits lead to a feeling of passion about their working life…Stop worrying about what the world owes you, it says, and instead, put your head down, and strive to become so good you can't be ignored. It's this straightforward goal—not some fairy tale about dropping everything to pursue a dream job—that will lead you toward a working life you love.
Make your life sweet by doing what matters to you.

4-H agents, educators return to the moon
The last time U.S. astronauts visited the moon was 1972, but recently, Kentucky 4H Youth development agents and educators got a chance to go themselves. Of course they did not physically go to the moon, but they participated in an exercise in teamwork and problem solving at Paducah's Challenger Learning Center.
As the liftoff countdown began, half of the group role-played astronauts returning to the moon. The other half served as crew members at mission control. Midway through, the two groups switched roles. Their mission was to stay and establish a permanent base on the moon.
"They get to spend half the time in our mission control room, so they will be on Earth half the time," said Melissa Duncan, director of the Challenger Space Center. "They get to go in what we call our spacecraft simulator, and they get to spend time in there. So the mission scenario runs through that (the simulator) until they get to and land on the moon."
While on the moon, participants observed and explored as they tested the feasibility of establishing a settlement there. They also analyzed a variety of data that they gathered from the lunar surface to select a settlement site to establish a permanent moon base. The activity is designed to give agents and educators tools to use in an educational setting that will hopefully raise student awareness and interest in science, technology and engineering fields.
"I hope they come away with an activity or program that they can do in their classroom, club or youth group that inspires some youths to pursue a career in engineering, science or a technology-related field, whether it be computer engineering or computer sciences, even buildings and construction," said Torey Earle, University of Kentucky 4H Youth development agent at-large.
Challenger Learning Centers, like the one in Paducah, were started by families of the Challenger Space Shuttle crew members who perished in 1986. These centers have been perfect locations for educational opportunities for people of all ages.
"The Challenger Center's program is great because it can touch a wide variety of audiences," Duncan said. "Our mission is to provide opportunities for all to have real-life learning experiences. I've seen ages 8 to 98 in the simulator. We do a lot of teacher training, a lot of summer camps, a lot of scout programs, a lot of school missions."
The in-service training at the Challenger Learning Center was also an opportunity to introduce participants to the 4-H Aerospace Adventures curriculum and how agents and educators can use it to set up technology-related clubs and also as a way for classroom enrichment.
Elizabeth Eklund, 4-H program assistant in Christian County, said she can see a future for the curriculum at Fort Campbell in her home area.
"This is something we have used with our kids out there to teach them a little more about aerospace," she said. "It kind of opens them up to thinking about careers in this area and gives them the opportunity to put some of the math and science that they use every day in school to use in a way they can really enjoy it."
This was the second time the in-service training has been based at the Challenger Learning Center in Paducah, and 4-H agents said it was time well spent.
"Especially with science, engineering and technology being a big push for part of our curriculum, you know this is definitely a package deal," said Gary Templeman, Logan County 4H Youth development agent. "You've got professionals in there who run that program, and they are doing something a little different than we can do in our home counties.
This summer, for what is believed to be the first time, the West Kentucky 4-H Camp in Dawson Springs will hold a 4-H Aerospace Camp.

Q: Retrieve data from Oracle Database at specific datetime then post them to firebase in php Describe the project idea:
I am working on system that is running on Oracle database 8i version. where I would like to execute a query that is running automatically monthly (using php or java) to retrieve some data of due payments from some users of next month, then post these data to google Firebase.
Describe my question:
Instead of running the code manually by clicking the button or running the script manually, I would like to know how to execute the query automatically on specific day of each month. For both retrieving data from Oracle and posting data to Firebase. but not overusing the processor on the server by looping forever.
I don't know if it can be done within php code or I should use an external program or service to run my function automatically at the specific time
An example pseudocode:
a very simple example to explain my process, the actual code will be more organized . your ideas are very appreciated
// some Proramming language API to call myFunction() automatically
/* this is what I need  */

// check date
if (today() = 20-currentMonth-currentYear)
(
   myFunction()
)

function myFunction()
{
  //conneting to database
  connect to oracle(connectionURL, username, password)
  // running connection
  run connection

  // executing updated query
  execute query(Select * from tableName where date 01-nextMonth-currentYear)

  // fetching query results
  Loop throw query result

  // prepare JSON format
  add result to json(object or array)

  // close database connection
  close oracle connection

  // sending json to firebase
  send json result to Firebase RestAPI
}

programming language:
PHP

A: Gosh, 8i? That's an ancient piece of software.
Anyway: you don't need PHP nor an external program - all you need is a job scheduled in the database. DBMS_JOB is supposed to do that. Here's 8i documentation for that package: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/A87860_01/doc/server.817/a76956/jobq.htm#5727
Here's an example of how to do that:
SQL> set serveroutput on
SQL> -- creating a dummy procedure; yours would collect data
SQL> create or replace procedure p_test
  2  is
  3  begin
  4     null;
  5  end p_test;
  6  /

Procedure created.

SQL> -- schedule a job. NEXT_DATE says when it is executed for the first time,
SQL> -- while INTERVAL says when to re-execute it -> monthly, on 5th of every month,
SQL> -- at 14:30
SQL> declare
  2     x   number;
  3  begin
  4     sys.dbms_job.submit (
  5        job         => x,
  6        what        => 'p_test;',
  7        next_date   => to_date ('05.12.2017 14:30:00', 'dd.mm.yyyy hh24:mi:ss'),
  8        interval    => 'add_months(to_date(''05.12.2017'', ''dd.mm.yyyy''), 1) + 14 / 24 + 30 / (24*60)',
  9        no_parse    => false);
 10     sys.dbms_output.put_line ('Job Number is: ' || to_char (x));
 11     commit;
 12  end;
 13  /
Job Number is: 2895612

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL> -- check job info
SQL> select * from user_jobs where job = 2895612;

Now, that's how to collect data. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to transfer it into Firebase (if I had to, I'd mention the following keywords: database link, heterogeneous services. Or, Google for it, of course). Hopefully, someone else will be able to assist.

Sales are the lifeblood of most companies, so whether you're offering a product or service, you probably put a lot of effort toward bringing in more sales. And while you can simply bootstrap it and try to sell a higher quantity of the same product, there are other sales methods that are far more efficient.
One of the most important services ROI Call Center Solutions can provide is the art of up-selling and cross-selling. The reason why these services are so valuable is because they maximize the potential of each and every phone call. In fact, up-selling and cross-selling can result in an average of forty percent (40%) additional gross sale per telephone call. ROI Call Center Solutions deliver three different effective selling techniques: technology, training, and statistical analysis.
Cross-selling and up-selling are established methods of improving your sales and increasing customer loyalty. Up-selling is the practice of offering customers a product in addition to the product they are currently purchasing. Cross-selling refers to selling items that are related or can be integrated with the item being sold. Both techniques can increase sales volume and provide a valuable service to your customers.
As leaders in our industry, ROI Solutions is driven to succeed on a foundation of core values and beliefs.
ROI Call Center Solutions believes customer care and contact centers fail to put into practice the cross-selling and up-selling basics during their customer interaction. This is the main reason most call centers struggle to get maximum return on their given investment.
Your best choice for outsourced upselling and cross-selling is ROI Call Center Solutions. Our core values and beliefs permeate every aspect of our business, meaning every salesperson will put the customer first and treat each phone call with care and consideration. We teach our employees to always do the right thing and leave their ego at the door.
This dedication to values shines through in all we do. Our cross-selling and upselling training prove we're always striving to improve our results and carefully monitor our efforts to see where we can improve cross-selling tools and techniques.
Wondering what is an upsell strategy? Upselling is when a customer is convinced to purchase a more expensive or premium version of their original purchase. They might also be persuaded to add on other features or purchase a warranty. For example, a person buying a blender may be convinced to buy a version that costs $100 more by highlighting everything the more expensive blender can do that the lower-end version cannot. The salesperson might also suggest adding a 2-year warranty in case the blender breaks later on.
Because the customer gets more value out of their purchase with upselling, they develop a stronger tie to the company and feel more loyalty. The process of convincing a customer to upgrade their order is far more effective and efficient than trying to constantly find new customers who buy one thing. The customer spends more time with the business and gives you optimal revenue with their larger order.
While upselling influences a customer to purchase a more expensive version of their original order, cross-selling is a tactic where the salesperson makes custom recommendations to buy other products related to their original order. For example, a person who orders a blender might be influenced to also buy other tools to enhance their experience, like a smoothie cup or a tool for cleaning the blender.
As with upselling, cross-selling is a powerful tool for your business because it optimizes the amount of money coming in and increases the time a customer spends with your business, allowing for a deeper customer relationship. This is a more cost-effective way to increase sales in comparison to lead generation. And because you're earning more money from each customer who is influenced by cross-selling, you can put more of your money toward lead generation in the future.
Upselling and cross-selling are two sales methods to increase the amount of money a customer spends without simply having to buy more of the same item. These tactics are powerful because the customer gains more value from your company and gives you more sales, which translates to higher profit. With a good salesperson, the customer may not even realize they've been influenced to spend more money.
Your company will build a good rapport with potential customers and increase your global customers base.
At ROI Call Center Solutions, we have a team of skilled salespeople who can upsell and cross-sell to your customers every day, so you can worry about other aspects of your business on a day-to-day basis. We combine technology, team trainings, and data analysis to give you the most effective cross-selling and upselling methods.
They'll get a clear picture of your company's regulations and policies in relation to the product they're interested in. Customers will feel totally at ease, gradually being influenced to add on to their sales or upgrade to a higher end product.
We ask open-ended queries to customers.
We make the customers feel comfortable with all their questions.
We give sufficient time and consideration to all the customers to voice their queries.
We avoid the confusion of any customer relating to regulations and policies.
We work to make our customers feel at ease thereby increasing their sales gradually.


Negative body image is pervasive among traditional, college-age women and takes a heavy toll on women's economic, personal, and political lives. Previous research has indicated that a large percentage of women hold negative views of their body. Women embarking on higher education are not exempt from these negative views. Conversely, college can pose challenges for women as they attempt to negotiate their academic, public, and personal identities.
While existing literature has provided insight regarding body-image issues among traditional-aged college women, little attention has been focused on the protective factors influencing body image. Addressing dissatisfaction with body image and identifying positive protective factors is especially salient for college personnel, given that women of college-age have been noted to be at high risk for social, physical, and mental health issues associated with body image.
The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore how young women come to understand body image and make meaning of their own body image in the college environment. This study also examined the role of protective factors in the formation of young women's body image. Four themes emerged as influential in the participants' lives: relationships with female relatives and peers; media influence; participation in athletics; and relationships with people with disabilities. A new model was developed in this study to explain how young women may potentially come to understand their body image and make meaning of body image in the college environment.
