A world leader in sourcing, testing, manufacturing, and distributing CPTG essential oils, doTERRA is breaking ground on the continued development of its corporate campus in Pleasant Grove, Utah.
This third phase of growth will include the construction of a new medical clinic and office building, as well as an expansion of the company's manufacturing facility, which together will house 700 additional employees at doTERRA's Utah headquarters in Pleasant Grove. In addition, doTERRA is building a fulfillment center in Lindon, Utah, which will employ 250 people.
Upon completion of this third phase in 2019, doTERRA will have more than 2,950 employees in Utah and nearly 970,000 square feet of professional office, medical, manufacturing, and fulfillment space, spanning 100 acres.
As part of its expansion plans, doTERRA will more than double the size of its current manufacturing facility, bringing its total square footage from nearly 125,000 square feet to almost 324,000 square feet. Once it is completed in fall 2018, the expansion will offer capacity for an additional 200 employees. The additions to the facility will be built to the highest OTC and TGA standards. Any doTERRA product distilled or sold throughout the world will come through this facility, lending more opportunities for research and development.
High-efficiency lighting and mechanical systems will be utilized throughout all buildings, along with materials containing a high percentage of recycled content and items locally sourced in Utah. Further development and improvements to the existing wetlands area will also be a priority throughout the building process.
Set to be completed in fall 2018, the new 67,055-square-foot office building will provide office space to seat an additional 400 employees as well as plans for a childcare center that will serve up to 84 students daily, including infants, toddlers and young children. doTERRA also will provide childcare scholarships for the center based on need.
"We applaud doTERRA's commitment to strengthen Pleasant Grove's quality of living and create 700 additional jobs," said Pleasant Grove Mayor Michael W. Daniels. "We know that these efforts will contribute to a healthier community and stronger local economy, and will support our vision to make Pleasant Grove a premier city in Utah County."
Slated for completion in spring 2019, the new medical clinic will initially offer resources for doTERRA employees and Wellness Advocates, with plans to eventually serve the community. This 39,500-square-foot innovative space is designed to expand as need demands with the potential of two additional buildings. It can accommodate 100 employees and five medical doctors with a focus on integrative care.
"Expanding our campus provides additional opportunities for research and growth so we can continue to lead the way in sourcing, testing, manufacturing and distributing essential oils and other healthy living products for customers around the world," said David Stirling, Founding executive, Chairman & CEO of doTERRA. "Health and wellness are the core of our business, and we're pleased to create a clinic where we can validate the medical benefits of oils with modern medicine. We look forward to providing this care to our employees and Wellness Advocates and expanding this service to the broader community in the future."
The new fulfillment center will be built along the I-15 corridor in Lindon near the Pleasant Grove exit. The 270,000 square foot facility will reside on 32 acres and house nearly 250 new employees. Once completed, this facility will serve doTERRA's global customer base and act as a hub to support doTERRA fulfillment centers throughout the world.
Designed to be a highly efficient fulfillment space, this facility will utilize advanced automation to fulfill orders with speed and accuracy. Staying true to doTERRA's values, the fulfillment center will be designed and constructed with sustainability, customer satisfaction and employee wellbeing at the forefront.

Medea at a new level
Medea always seems, despite the constraints that bind her or perhaps because of them, almost too big even for page or stage. aod returns to Kingston's Rose Theatre in Euripides' revenge-fuelled tragedy which premieres here, directed by Abigail Anderson and adapted by David Stuttard. Several of the cast members are aerialists.
Medea is one of Greek tragedy's most intricate figureheads. As an exile, she is vulnerable. As a 'witch', she is calculating. As a woman, she is headstrong, passionate and intelligent in the face of social limitation. Faced with the betrayal of her husband with the princess Glauce, all this comes to the fore. And this is why aerial performance is so right in this production, not only in chilling anticipation of Medea's final murderous flight from Corinth, but because the physicality, to a haunting, breathy-whispery soundtrack, is able to show the full scope of a multi-faceted character, while she is still bound by anger and frustration. She plans murder and her own escape. Each person she takes into her confidence, one by one she clips to her harness.
Staging is minimal. The only props are Medea's murder weapons- the poisoned dress and coronet, and the knife. The scene-setting is otherwise left to the imagination, with red everywhere, including each costume as well as a ladder, and drapes upstage. Medea's mind is played out against the red with silent sequences, of thwarted lovers on the scarlet ladder and the death of the princess shown to brilliant simple effect in the drapery. And in her most scheming moments, suggestive of sorcery, the rest of the cast are lifted and jerked by their harnesses against the red backdrop, resembling the corpses that are to follow at the finale.
Tamsin Shasha is astonishing in the title role. Her acting and acrobatics are in perfect harmony. The volatility of Medea is audible and her tortured mental state visual, while caught in a blood-red mass Shasha moves both sinuously and fitfully, hissing oaths against her cheating spouse. The dance-dialogue between the estranged pair is effective, and Jason (Ewan Downie) delivers his words of treachery with appropriate detachment, if rather neutrally. There are good performances all round from the supporting characters, who double as Chorus members (some great singing there). Dickon Savage in particular does well as both commanding Creon and comic Aegeus, but he is better as the latter.
Upon a future touring of this production, I would like to see it again.
Medea ran at the Rose Theatre, Kingston from 12-15 Nov

Final version of the whistleblower protection law getting closer?
Post date 29 August 2022
Although the protection of whistleblowers in particular has so far been discussed mainly in autumn 2021, this does not mean that the lack of implementation of Directive 2019/1937 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2019 has completely buried the topic. On the contrary. The holiday period favours the Legislature in drafting more whistleblower protection legislation. Recently, the fourth version has already appeared on the website of the Government Legislation Centre. It is worth keeping your hand on the pulse, as it is still unclear when the actual law will enter into force and activate obligations on the part of companies, as well as what its final form will be.
Failure to implement an EU directive and possible sanctions for member states
Pursuant to the Whistleblower Protection Directive, European Union Member States were obliged to implement whistleblower protection provisions into their national legal order. Despite the formal obligation to implement the directive and apply its provisions to companies with at least 250 employees by 17 December 2021, it is still the case that most member states have not met this deadline.
Already at the beginning of 2022 The European Commission, concerned about the state of the legislative process in the Member States, issued letters of formal notice to the Member States to remedy the deficiencies and implement the Directive, which initiated formal infringement proceedings.
With more than half of EU Member States failing to implement whistleblower protection legislation despite the letter of formal notice, on 15 July 2022. The European Commission issued a communication calling for clarifications on the deficiencies and failure to implement the relevant directive in the national legal order. In addition to Poland, the Member States summoned include Germany, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic and France, among others.
The ball is in the Member States' court
The regulations indicate that, as a rule, a Member State has two months to respond to the European Commission's question and indicate the status of work on transposition of the directive into the national legal order. It can therefore be expected that work on the final form of the law will accelerate strongly, as the deadline for submitting a response will be mid-September 2022. A lack of feedback from the Member State may result in a referral to the Court of Justice of the European Union and, ultimately, a finding that the Member State has infringed EU law.
The Polish employer's perspective
As long as the Polish legislator does not implement the Whistleblower Protection Directive into the national legal order, it is not private entities that will be penalised for failing to implement a whistleblower protection system, but at most Poland as a Member State.
However, on the other hand, the obligation to set up a system of protection of whistleblowers will not bypass anyone employing more than 50 people (about which more later in the article), for the time being the final shape of this system is not known.
Protection of whistleblowers – history of the Polish legislative process
The first draft of the bill appeared as early as October 2021, but due to its imperfections, it was already widely criticised at the consultation stage and subjected to further amendments.
A revised second draft appeared on the website of the Government Legislation Centre in mid-April 2022, but it too required many amendments.
The holiday period and the pressing time for feedback to the European Commission resulted first in a third and, in recent days, a fourth draft of the Whistleblower Protection Bill.
Draft 4.0 – main points unchanged
The protection of whistleblowers, or whistleblowers, imposes a number of obligations on employers with at least 50 employees, including:
creating whistleblowing regulations;
providing a transparent, yet anonymous reporting channel;
keeping a record of reports and responding to them by implementing procedures to stop violations.
Failure to do so may be punishable by a fine.
The devil is in the detail
The latest version of the draft is definitely a tidying up and clarification of the third version of the draft, published at the beginning of July 2022, which gives hope that the legislative process will be completed soon.
Significant changes that have been added to the third and fourth drafts of the bill include:
the obligation to keep personal data and other information in the register of internal notifications for 15 months after the end of the calendar year in which the follow-up actions or proceedings completed by those actions;
the extension of the provision on the violation of the whistleblower's personal rights;
implementation of the obligation to use the internal reporting procedure if the breach can be effectively remedied within the organisational unit.
Existing regulations have been maintained with regard to defining a breach of law, whistleblower or retaliation.
The coming days, weeks and months….
It is likely that work on the final form of the bill will finally gather pace. According to the draft, businesses with at least 250 employees will be required to create an internal whistleblowing policy 2 months after the law comes into force.
Given the urgings from the EU, we can expect a rapid completion of the legislative process and implementation of the obligations for entrepreneurs. They may still have to face this task before the end of 2022.
We are constantly following the latest developments regarding whistleblower protection for our clients. We will shortly describe our experiences to date with whistleblower protection implementation processes.

"Classic 1956 film...and why those answers aren't quite themselves?" is INVASIONOFTHEBODYSNATCHERS. That title occupied two lines of the grid. The word BODY has been snatched from the eight theme answers. Very cute. Invasion Of The Body Snatchers was adapted from Jack Finney's 1954 science fiction novel The Body Snatchers and starred Kevin McCarthy and Dana Wynter. The plot involved alien plant spores that fall from space and grow into large seed pods, each of which can turn into a duplicate of a human being, with the same appearance, memories and characteristics but devoid of emotion. The "pod people" start to replace the real people. The movie was remade in 1978 with Donald Sutherland, Leonard Nimoy, Brooke Adams, Jeff Goldblum and Veronica Cartwright.
The Peabody Awards, named for American businessman and philanthropist George Peabody. were created in 1940 by the National Association Of Broadcasters to honor excellence in radio broadcasting. The Awards now honor excellence in television and online media as well as in radio.
And of course the theme of today's crossword reminded me of this question: Why did the skeleton go to the movies by himself? He had no body to go with.

Collins Impresses With Highlight Reel Catch
The play of the day from Thursday's practice, the last of the Rookies and Selected Veterans portion of the Organized Team Activities (OTA), came on a two-minute drill portion of practice when Michael Vick lofted a pass to the right front corner of the end zone where wide receiver Dobson Collins and cornerback David Pender were running stride-for-stride with each other.
As the ball descended toward them, Collins elevated higher than Pender, snagged the ball cleanly and came down into the end zone for a touchdown.
"I just had to finish the week off strong," Collins said after practice. "The play was a double-go. Both sides do an outside release and do a go route. I told Mike Vick to throw it up and I'll go get it, so I went and got it."
Collins has been impressive over the past two weeks and he's made some nice catches, but none more impressive than the sky-jumping touchdown. The offensive installation comes a bit easier for Collins and Jordan Norwood, who both spent much of the 2009 season on the Eagles practice squad.
"It's an advantage because I've heard the verbage before and now all I'm doing is putting in the play when I get on the field," Collins said. "I feel real good about (my knowledge of the offense). Every day I'm learning, I'm getting the plays more and more every day."
When Collins arrived in Philadelphia last season, his slender frame was noticeable. But after an off-season working with strength and conditioning coach Barry Rubin, Collins, now listed as 6-foot-2, 189 pounds, feels better suited to be an impact player on the field.
I've been "in the weight room getting stronger, more physical and now I'm able to jump over people."
After Thursday's practice there are few questions about that last point.

Players Prefer Presentation: A Baseball Mystery
Meg Rowley
On August 25, a bit of baseball history happened; only, hardly anyone noticed. The Red Sox were losing a blowout against the Orioles. To save an arm, first baseman Mitch Moreland pitched the top of the ninth inning. Hanley Ramirez took Moreland's place at first base, replacing designated hitter Chris Young in the lineup. No more Chris Young, no more designated hitter. Normal blowout stuff so far. But in the bottom of the ninth, Young came to the plate and singled.
On Baseball-Reference it was noted like this, but that's only because you have to put something to balance the books.
According to RetroSheet, it is the only instance of illegal lineup re-entry in MLB history. And hardly anyone there noticed! Italics. Exclamation point! Neither broadcast booth said anything; Buck Showalter didn't fuss; the umpires let Young take his swings. Perhaps even more surprising, given our delight in both weird baseball and historical novelty, the incident went largely unremarked upon in the broader baseball world[1]. How are we to account for such a wholesale neglect of baseball history?
When considering such a question, we should acknowledge an obvious point: this was a bad game. The Red Sox lost 16-3. They committed five errors. These guys were tired and pretty grumpy. Here is Brock Holt, after he strikes out looking to end the game.
Yup, he's ready for bed. This game was the sort of slog that makes you snap at your partner only to regret it 10 minutes later. None of us are particularly impressive when we're worn out. In fact, I'd estimate 89 percent of what led to Young's illegal re-entry is exactly the same stuff that causes you to leave your keys in the front door after a bad day at work. This game lasted three hours and 37 minutes. These guys were tired and pretty grumpy. That's 89 percent of it. But it's only 89 percent of it. The mystery is in the other 11 percent.
John Farrell Got a Little Distracted (1%)
Sometimes in the morning, I'll pour a cup of coffee only to remember that I need to unload the dishwasher. I'll unload the dishwasher. Then it's time to get dressed. Drat, my coffee! I'll microwave my coffee for 20 seconds. Then I'll make my lunch. Then I'll remember the coffee in the microwave. I'll microwave it again (it's cold now). I'll drive to work. I'll feel tired. I'll realize my coffee is still at home. The next day, I'll find the prior day's coffee in the microwave, after I've gotten dressed and remembered that day's coffee on the counter. It's not that John Farrell didn't at one point know that Hanley Ramirez was in the game. It's that having been distracted by a question, the fact of his being in the game never made it out of the microwave and into the car.
Mitch Moreland Pitched the Top of the Ninth (0.5%)
When position players pitch in blowouts, it's like grabbing a life raft after a disaster at sea. Or when you're trapped in a conversation with the worst guest at a party, and someone breaks a glass across the room. You're saved; you might escape. But then it becomes what you focus on. Who broke the glass? Is the host angry? Are there sharks nearby? Salvation can be so distracting. You were watching normal bad baseball before, and now you're watching something different. The transmutation takes our attention off the other action on the field, and it follows predictable steps.
Step One: A position player is pitching and you're excited.
Oh hey, Mitch Moreland is pitching! Let's see what he's got
Step 2: Position player throws "gas," in position-player-pitching-adjusted terms.
!!!! MITCH !!!!
Step Three: You feel happy.
Ayeeeeeeeeeee!
Yeah, you're not going to be any help to us in the bottom of the ninth.
Chris Davis Got His 1,000th Career Hit (0.5%)
The passage of time makes liars out of a lot of us. Not that we mean to misremember important moments, but we do anyway. It makes moving forward easier. I was driving home once after a bad day at work and the car in front of me stopped too long at a stop sign. I honked, and the driver moved, and that was fine, but there was a pedestrian standing on the corner and the honking startled her. And I felt ashamed. I thought about that moment at 1 AM that night and at 3 AM two days later and in the middle of a meeting the next week. Chris Davis now has 1,020 career hits, but he had to get the 1,000th first, and I bet when he thinks back on it years from now, he won't remember it came off a position player. His memory will protect him from that fact. What use is there in dwelling on such things?
Kid A told Kid B the Unwritten Rule Concerning Snitches (1.2%)
Quietly, the wildest part of Chris Young getting back to the plate is the fact that he batted second. If he had led off the bottom of the ninth, we might have been able to attribute the mistake to everyone being in a rush to get home, and not having time to say "Hold on," and suddenly he's up there, and man, aren't we just bone tired? But Young didn't lead off. The broadcast came back from commercial break at 3:39:44; Rafael Devers' line out was caught at 3:41:21. In between, Chris Young stood in the on-deck circle, whole minutes ticking by, preparing to illegally re-enter the game, in full sight of God and Fenway, and these two kids.
I think Kid B knows. He's holding up his hands the way you do when you realize something. "Hey, wait," he seems to say. Kid B knows that Chris Young is supposed to be in the showers, and he wants to tell a grown up. He's a good kid. But that's where Kid A comes in. Kid A knows stuff, too. Like, he knows that they're Red Sox fans, and that telling would cause the Red Sox trouble, and that you'll never live this down, Kid B. Wise words, Kid A. Good looking out. You never forget the day you learn that snitches get stitches.
The Players Weekend Jerseys Threw Everyone Off (2%)
I don't mean to brag, but I watch a lot of baseball, and read a lot about baseball, and when I write about baseball, I often write about all the faces you'll see while you are watching baseball. So, again not to brag, I know a lot of baseball players' faces and could pick them out on the street. Oh, I wouldn't bother them; they're just trying to get coffee or gas. But I'd give them that little respectful nod you do when you want to be able to tell your friends you had a celebrity encounter but also get credit for playing it cool. I could spot them. And during Players Weekend, I must have said, "Wait, who?" 107 times. Like, who the hell is "Bird"? (Answer: Mike Wright) WHO THE HELL IS MIKE WRIGHT? Wait, Mike? Mark? You see how there could have been some confusion.
The Fans Won (0.8%)
Forgive an obvious statement, but the job of every pitcher is to collect outs. Quick outs, slow outs, but three outs. Along the way, they face impediments to those outs. A manager might not let them stay in for all three; an umpire might toss them for a fastball that runs too far inside. Hitters, of course, try to put the ball in play. All potential speed bumps. And then there are the fans. Fans like to think that they are good helpers. They boo and jaw at opposing pitchers. They insult their mothers. Sometimes, they go so far as to shout out where the catcher is set up. Fans think they are good helpers, but they aren't really.
Pitchers possess incredible concentration and focus, and they probably can't hear you. You're not getting in the way of their outs. Except on August 25. On August 25, Premature Home Run Celebration Dude (just behind Chris Young) and Wiggle My Hands Guy (our left of home plate, third row, two seats in) helped a little. It was late, and Mike Wright (hi, "Bird") is only so-so. Wright didn't notice it was Young at the plate, gave up a single, then plunked Rajai Davis the next plate appearance. For once, the fans got through. Such good helpers.
The Quality of Mercy at 16-3 (5%)
All of our previous explanations are parts of the mystery, little bits of the caper, but I don't think they're the most important parts. I think the most important part had to do with mercy.
After the game was over, the NESN camera lingered on the Orioles dugout and you could see Buck Showalter conferring with the umpires. He knew.
Buck knew, and he wanted to make sure that in a game that mattered it wouldn't happen again, but he also granted the Red Sox this little bit of grace. It wasn't a costly bit of grace, as the Orioles had effectively won already, but it was grace nonetheless. This might be the best managerial decision of the year. Buck knew the rules, but also knew that sometimes the rules just aren't that important when presented with the opportunity to get to sleep 10 minutes earlier.
He was well within his rights to get a bit shirty, and embarrass John Farrell, and just generally drag this whole nightmare out, but instead he went, "Eh?" There may be no kinder small mercy than having your foot on your opponent's neck and, rather than pressing down, letting them just go to bed.
[1] Jen McCaffrey at MassLive was one of the only people who wrote about the mix up at all. I asked her over email if she noticed the mistake in the moment, and she said, "When it happened, several of us in the press box were pretty confused. I was writing my game story, so initially I didn't even notice, but I sit near the official scorer and he was like "…wait, what's going on?"

Mitch pitched the TOP of the ninth not the bottom. That would have made for an even wilder evening.

D'oh! Indeed, that would have been a wild finish. Fixed now. Thanks!

I love the line "Yup, he's ready for bed."
Another cause might be that everyone in the stadium was dazed by long exposure to the Orioles' blazing orange uniforms. (Real Baltimore orioles, the birds, are actually that color, by the way! It's amazing to see a wild thing that bright.)

I don't know why I thought about this, but when you mentioned Kid A, Radiohead came to mind. On that disc is a song called "Everything in its Right Place", which is, of course, the complete opposite of what took place in this game. It's always nice when I can merge baseball and Radiohead. Great article, Meg.
