A judge in Ardmore, Alabama twice denied Debra Ann Rivera protective orders against her ex-husband, Darwin Brazier — including requests that his firearms be taken away from him due to alleged stalking. On Sunday, Brazier killed Rivera, two other people and himself.
The Decatur Daily reported Tuesday that Brazier on Sunday killed his ex-wife and her husband Radex Rivera, along with the couple's roommate James Hayward-Boger.
Rivera had most recently filed for a protective order on March 1, 2018 after her ex allegedly called her so much that she had to change her phone number. Limestone County Circuit Judge Chad Wise granted the order on a temporary basis, but on April 10 declined to make the order permanent.
In March of 2017, Rivera petitioned Judge Wise to issue a protection-from-abuse order against Brazier and asked that his firearms be surrendered. The judge denied the request.

Is Chewing Gum Toxic to Your Dog?
Can something as common as chewing gum be toxic? The answer is yes. According to the Animal Poison Control Center, last year they managed over 170 sick pets after eating products containing Xylitol.
Xylitol is a sugar-alcohol sweetener found in sugar-free human food products such as chewing gum, candy, baked goods as well as other products. Dogs that eat significant amounts can develop a sudden drop in blood sugar, which can cause weakness, lethargy, loss of coordination, collapse and seizures.
Symptoms can begin in as little as 30 minutes and last hours. It is recommended that pets that experience symptoms be taken to a veterinarian or local emergency clinic for evaluation. Treatment may include hospitalization and intravenous fluids with dextrose supplementation. Some pets can remain symptomatic and may maintain a low blood sugar for several hours. Recent studies also suggest that there is a strong link between xylitol ingestion and the development of liver failure in dogs.
To prevent toxicity, do not feed your pet human products sweetened with Xylitol. Minimize pet exposure to any area where you may store candy or gum. Many dogs have gotten exposure by getting into purses ande handbags where gum is kept, so make sure you keep purses secure.
Most problems have occurred in dogs because they are less discriminating eats than are cats. With the increased use of Xylitol in human products, Xylitol toxicity may become more common.

Une monnaie forte est une devise qui fait office de réserve de valeur sur un marché de change. Les facteurs qui contribuent à accorder à une monnaie le statut de monnaie forte sont la stabilité à long terme, les perspectives nationales politiques et budgétaires et la politique de la banque centrale émettrice.

À l'inverse, une monnaie faible est une devise qui va fluctuer de manière erratique ou se déprécier face à des devises étrangères. Cette faiblesse est généralement le résultat d'une politique ou d'une fiscalité instable par le pays émetteur.

Histoire
Les devises en monnaie fiduciaire de plusieurs pays développés ont été qualifiées de monnaie forte à différente période, tel que le dollar américain, l'euro, le franc suisse, la livre sterling, le yen, ou dans une moindre mesure, les dollars canadien et australien.

Humanities Fellows Delve Into the Culture of Chicago
Humanities Fellows visited the Art Institute of Chicago.
BLOOMINGTON, Ill. — A cohort of first-year Illinois Wesleyan Humanities Fellows experienced firsthand the art, poetry, history and culture of Chicago during the program's second annual Spring Break Immersion Trip.
Over the course of four days, students visited the Art Institute of Chicago, the Newberry Library, the Chicago Cultural Center and other iconic locations in order to understand the importance of the humanities in modern-day society.
"Students weren't sitting in a class and listening to a lecture; rather, they were living the Humanities 24/7," explained Byron S. Tucci Professor of Hispanic Studies Carolyn Nadeau, who co-teaches the Humanities Fellows First-Year Experience (FYE) with Associate Professor and Chair of English Joanne Diaz.
During their time in Chicago, the Humanities Fellows engaged in discussions at museums, attended live poetry readings, met with theatre directors and actors, ate cuisine from various cultures and conducted their own archival work at the Newberry Library.
The Humanities Fellows pause for a group photo during a Chicago architecture tour.
In addition to site visits, the students also had the opportunity to sit down with MacArthur "genius" and Illinois Wesleyan alum Juan Salgado '91. In 2015, Salgado received the MacArthur grant, a highly selective award acknowledging creative and innovative individuals in a wide range of fields, for his work as founder and leader of the Instituto del Progreso Latino. Salgado's education program has provided low-income Latinx immigrants in Chicago with the vocational training and English-language skills needed to obtain higher-paying employment in sectors looking to build diverse, multilingual workforces. Salgado is currently the Chancellor of the City Colleges of Chicago, a group of seven city colleges which serve more than 80,000 students.
Students had the opportunity to network with curators, librarians, theatre directors and other professionals in their areas of interest, in addition to making connections with each other.
"We learned a lot about each other and ourselves," said Nadeau. "Spending all day and night as a group has its benefits as well as its challenges, as several students noted when we returned to campus. But, I know as a faculty member, I've returned to campus and feel a special connection with this group precisely because we now have these shared experiences.
"I am hopeful that this humanities immersion excursion has instilled in this wonderful group of students a continued curiosity to explore, make connections, and think creatively and critically about the world."

WWII airman finally laid to rest
Sgt William Reidy had been on a training flight from RAF Swannington
A young airman whose body was found 60 years after his fighter plane crashed during World War II has finally been buried with full military honours.
Sgt William Reidy, 20, from Boscombe, Bournemouth, was the navigator on a Mosquito fighter bomber which crashed into the Wash in March 1945.
He had been on a training flight from RAF Swannington in Norfolk. The plane lay undiscovered until last year.
He was buried with his five military medals at RAF Marham on Tuesday.
The ceremony, at the Roman Catholic Church at RAF Marham, included airmen forming a guard of honour for Sgt Reidy's coffin and a lone bugler playing the last post.
His younger sister Stella Arnold flew over from Zimbabwe to attend the funeral.
I think I sobbed that day when they said they had found it more than any other time
Stella Arnold
She said when she heard the plane had been found last year all the grief for a long-lost brother returned.
"It was as if I was hit in the heart all over again," she said.
"It was almost more than I could bear, but I've got a wonderful husband and he came and took both my hands and he said 'let it go, let it out'."
Wreckage spotted
"I think I sobbed that day when they said they had found it more than any other time."
The wreckage was spotted in April 2004 during a survey of a rarely-used shipping channel in King's Lynn harbour.
Sgt Reidy was buried with his five military medals at RAF Marham
A Ministry of Defence salvage team from Plymouth lifted the wreckage after it was located by a Royal Navy diving team from Portsmouth.
The de Havilland Mosquito was on a training mission on 20 March when it crashed.
Pilot Flt Lt Gabriel Ellis also died in the crash.
His family declined a military funeral service and laid him to rest two weeks ago at a private cremation.

Those were the words of the penultimate sentence of my last entry.
Despite the wall-to-wall sunshine today, it was really, really cold. If you stopped for more than a couple of minutes, you could feel it seeping into your bones.
So the answer was to not stop.
Today, we were blessed with many willing volunteers, and we certainly made good use of the time. Unfortunately, these posts are kind of limited to 1000 words (…unless I hack it, and to be honest, I haven't got the strength tonight.), so there's no way I can put everything that happened in so short a space. You'll just have to use your imagination.
Firstly, and most importantly it was the banking just down from the main road that needed finishing off. We've been kindly awarded some money if we could get this done by the end of January.
So, we're two days late.
Here is a shot of that path we were working on last Thursday, and you can now see that we've finished laying the 'foundation' for this path, and Gary and Tom had just finished laying a layer of the ubiquitous woodchip over the top. We fully realise that this path will 'sink' as the privet and other cuttings rot down beneath, but we've got loads of spare soil to whack on as it does. Then we can add another fine layer of woodchip over the top as we have here, and as you can see, it makes a very serviceable path. Again, Derek, Gary and I lopped more branches from the overhanging trees and bushes so the pathway is now clear of obstruction.
Also in this area, as part of the grant, we've been working on the surrounding paths and beds.
If you do a 180 degree from that last shot, you'll see the shot on the left here. Up until a few minutes previously, this was a mud-bath as we'd been literally running along and up it with fully-laden wheelbarrows (…I told you we had to keep warm!), but Gary and Tom worked their woodchip-magic, and you can appreciate the result.
We'd also been busy further along and down by the compost bins. Here, Barry had very artistically laid a load of woodchip that was set aside nearby for this very purpose.
Elsewhere, and Sara, Pam and Carol were having fun with the 45 million Plot Kids that made an appearance. Actually, I'm exaggerating here. It was more like only 10-or so, but if felt like much more. Plot Kids have this great way of seeming to be everywhere, all at the same time.
After a very swift lunch (…did I mention just how bitingly cold it was?..), Carol had brought a treasure hunt to keep the kids busy for an hour while Jon and I fed the bees.
"What are you up to?" asked one of the little girls.
"Feeding the bees!" I replied.
In reality, we checked our two remaining hives to see just where we would put the slightly-warmed sugar syrup, went and got it, and by the time we came back to put the feeders on, there were quite a few crawling around beneath where we put them. So all's well with the bees.
In laying that new path above the banking, we've used quite a lot of privet cuttings and other partially-rotted muck that was sat all around the site. In particular, there were various piles around in a 'dead space' that we'd been meaning to put raised beds on this season. I don't have the photos of it, but I can now definitively say that this area by the bottom of the entrance path is now much clearer, so in a few weeks, Gary and the rest of us can work our magic and build raised beds using the scaffolding boards we bought last season, then fill them from the remainder of the earth that has been on 'The Mound' that had virtually nothing in it last season.
All exciting stuff, and I'll be sure to keep you, Dear Reader, fully up to date with developments and progress.
Today, we were all done and put away by an astonishing 4.50pm, just as the sun was starting to dip below the horizon.
We like this. Do the work, clear away, then home for tea.
But not before finally feeding Mitzi for the night.
Despite the relatively balmy weather, there were very few volunteers about today, but that didn't stop the few of us cracking on and getting stuff done for Autumn and ready for winter.
While Gary and Diane cleared the top of the orchard plot, Jordan and I cleared some of the leaves that had fallen all over the top of our plots, making them look very scruffy.
Big rakes, big builders' bags, and big hands to catch and scoop up the leaves. All good fun and a great way to keep warm.
While Jordan and I did this, I eyed up the strawberry plants that had only been planted in the tires a few months ago, and already they were beginning to send out long runners into the path below.
Ha! I soon put a stop to that!
While Diane wasn't looking, I went across the whole of the tire bank and, using a pair of hedge cutters, I chopped off all the runners and their offspring, and the tire bank and pathway beneath looked much better afterwards! Good therapy too.
Of course, I'll probably get told off for this, but they'll grow back; of that there is no doubt whatsoever.
Anyway, I'd better get off. I'm just finishing off an 'Electric Bike' for our friends over at Trade Base.
Or so the song goes, and it was certainly sunny today!
Absolutely wall-to-wall, end-to-end sunshine. Difficult to believe we're only at the start of April, but hey, we're not complaining.
Of course, we will be complaining in a few days time (…this sunshine's set to continue well into next week…) when we're having to lug watering cans about of an evening before leaving.
Ian and I agreed to meet for ten at The Plots, and Diane said she'd join us as soon as she'd taken folding chairs back we'd borrowed last night and a host of other things.
As soon as we arrived, we realised that there wasn't going to be a Big Lot done today -certainly no digging or any other kind of hard work.
I immediately found the factor 20 suncream, took my shirt off (…Its okay. There were no animals or small children about…), and got lathered up. We've got some factor 40 in the metal shed, but I thought rather than the total sunblock I'd let a little through. As I'm sat here now, freshly showered, I can feel that 'glow' you get after being out in the sun. Feels a bit like being on holiday!
So, we just gently 'pottered'; just slowly wandering round, picking odd bits of rubbish up, moving things back to where they should be, just generally surveying the ground.
Matt & Kyle, Jon and Gary made appearances, so of course we made sure the kettle was always on and the teapot always topped-up and generally just sauntered about.
At one point, we helped Gary move some fencing panels down that had been dropped off at the top of his plot, then a bit later, we helped him with some netting for his soon-to-be-planted-out greens, then Tim arrived, and, well, we just generally hung out.
Diane arrived by mid-afternoon, so we chatted about this and that, the AGM and whether we thought the weather would hold.
All very easy, gentle, slow stuff.
But don't let that fool you into thinking we're all a bunch of idle layabouts.
Yes, today was exceptional, but tomorrow will be busy!
We're expecting many volunteers, so they'll have to be kept entertained, then Mr Ward Senior is back from holiday next week, and as he's said he'll help us fabricate some new, re-inforced struts for the automatic opening vents in the greenhouse, we'll be sure to get worn out running up and down ladders fitting and re-fitting those.
Then there's loads of stuff to plant -not least of which will be all the potatoes down on the bottom 'Demonstration Plot'.

Not an oil stone but I use these for sharpening all my small knives.
Are those Arkansas stones? Nice boxes!…Btw, what did you use mahogany?
@dborn I think these are some type of ceramic stones, not arkansa stones. They are small, 1/2 inch thick by just a few inches long. The wood is sapele.
Nice job on the boxes I plan on making some boxes for my stones as well, I really enjoyed the blog and tutorial. I think I am going to try pine and see how they turn out as I do not have a supply of good hardwood scraps.
Steve, it's a fun project for sure and you end up with some nice looking stone holders. Pine would work great too, I've got a whole tub of off cuts of various woods I've been collecting for a few years and have never really done anything with them, so this is a great project for using them up. I've got several more to make for my stones I use to sharpen my kitchen knives.

Incident Choroidal Neovascular Lesions in the Fellow Eyes of Participants with Unilateral Neovascular AMD during the Submacular Surgery Trials
Posted by Sharon D. Solomon, Joan L. Jefferys, Barbara S. Hawkins and Susan B. Bressler on Oct 1, 2006 in ARMD, Fellow eye | Comments Off on Incident Choroidal Neovascular Lesions in the Fellow Eyes of Participants with Unilateral Neovascular AMD during the Submacular Surgery Trials
http://www.evrs.eu/medias/2006/congress/Incident-Choroidal-Neovascular-Lesions-in-the-Fellow-Eyes-of-Participants-with-Unilateral-Neovascular-AMD-during-the-Submacular-Surgery-Trials.swf
Sharon D. Solomon, MD (Baltimore, MD), Joan L. Jefferys, ScM (Baltimore, MD), Barbara S. Hawkins, PhD (Baltimore, MD), Susan B. Bressler, MD (Baltimore, MD), SST Research Group
Protocol fluorescein angiograms (FA) in SST participants included FE images at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months after enrollment and annually thereafter. This report describes the incident CNV lesions that occurred in the FEs of SST AMD participants that were documented to have non-neovascular AMD at study entry and who were being monitored prospectively with FA.
Participants had new subfoveal CNV (Group N) or predominantly hemorrhagic CNV (group B). Baseline FA, read by masked graders at the Wilmer Reading Center (WRC), confirmed absence of neovascular AMD in the FE (non-study eye). The SST database included 233 Group N and 165 Group B participants at risk of incident CNV in the FE. All patients were eligible for a minimum of 2 years of follow-up. Initial WRC gradings identified 122 FEs (85 Group N and 37 Group B) as developing incident CNV. These images were re-evaluated to describe lesion location, size, and composition at the incident visit.
98 of the 122 eyes initially catalogued as incident CNV were confirmed during this reassessment. Longer follow-up was available in Group N than Group B:136 (60%) of Group N and 79 (49%) of Group B FEs at risk of CNV completed at least 3 years of follow-up. Other than different incidence rates (ie. 25% in Group N and 17% in Group B at 24 months), the lesion characteristics were similar regardless of SST group. Lesions were predominantly CNV in 87 (89%), extrafoveal in 29 (30%) and juxtafoveal in 9 (9%) of FEs. Occult without classic CNV lesions were found in 64 (65%, among which 1/3 had blood), predominantly classic in 12 (12%), minimally classic in 12 (12%), and predominantly blood in 4 (4%). Nearly 2/3 of all lesions were =?3 disc areas (DA), with a median GLD of 3160 um. Symmetry between study eye (SE) and FE was poor: in Group N, classic CNV was present in 97% of SEs vs. 25% of incident FEs;in Group B, predominantly blood lesions were present in 89% of
SEs vs 7% of the incident FEs.
A review of incident CNV in the FEs of SST AMD participants found the majority were occult with no classic, small (=?3 MPS DA), and many were not subfoveal. Careful and frequent (every 3-6 months) angiographic follow-up of FEs at risk may lead to earlier detection and treatment of neovascular AMD and ultimately a better visual prognosis for these eyes.

No Concept ft. Bizarre – Weirdo – Technique Recordings
With Radio 1 airplay, A-list deejay support, download chart success, and prestige bookings at Let it Roll, Fabriclive and beyond, it's fair to say No Concept are tried and tested Technique Recordings soldiers. And now they're on maybe their most insane mission yet. The first thing you'll notice about "Weirdo" is that it features the idiosyncratic lyrical stylings of Bizarre. Yes, that Bizarre. The one with the shower cap out of D12, making, as far as we know, his first foray into DnB. As he tells us "ain't no-one crazier than me" over the tension-ramping intro, anticipation crackles. What's coming is an absolutely ridiculous drop that's going to see this tune become automatic wheel-up material. The aggressive punch of the drums is counterbalanced by the swing-time syncopation. The morphing, fluctuating bassline bounces around the frequency spectrum. This is addictive dancefloor music combining all the majesty of a big room epic with low-down gritty rave-hyping energy. So, it's yet another banger from the No Concept boys! And, maybe more importantly, it's revealed yet another facet to their style. These producers raise the bar for themselves every time, and you can bet they'll be ratcheting up to even higher levels in the near future. Watch the ride.
Coming up in the bass music scene of the UK's south coast, it was almost inevitable that their shared passion for constructing powerful dancefloor beats would lead them to start collaborating. And so the seeds of No Concept were planted. Brian was already well-established as a dubstep producer, with several million YouTube views and features on massive compilations in his CV. Under the name Dubba Jonny, he'd been responsible for anthems like "All In", and the viral "Dubstep Production" series that walked the line between parody and purist bass-and-beat carnage.
Simultaneously, Russ, aka Russla, was rising through the ranks of Bournemouth's drum 'n' bass scene. As a deejay, he became a regular fixture of the biggest line-ups in the area, sharing flyer-space with A-listers like Shy FX, Sub Zero, Drumsound & Bassline Smith, and Hatcha. The pair's first forays into production together were, by their own admission, "for fun", but as their joint output started to build a reputation, labels came calling. Adopting the name Glass Cobra, they began to deliver a series of hard, aggressive releases and rave-wrecking back-to-back deejay sets that put them firmly on the map. No Concept is the next stage of their evolution. Wiping the slate clean with a brand new name, Brian and Russ are coming with a fresh new approach without any thought for sub-genre constraints or preconceptions. Each one of their releases comes loaded with unpredictability coming, as it might, from any part of the drum 'n' bass spectrum.
But, whether they're delivering a sunlit vocal anthem or a viciously filthy rave-weapon, it's always with the same dedication to musical and technical skill that saw them catch the eye of Technique Recordings in the first place. The No Concept story is just beginning.

Invitation to "Expression of Interest": the KliK Foundation is looking for partner organisations for the procurement of ITMOs.
As explained in our last newsletter, the KliK Foundation is planning a first call for proposals in the spring, in order to source mitigation activities that will generate ITMOs after 2020.
In order to develop such a portfolio of mitigation activities, KliK aims to cooperate with approved partner organisations. These organisations will be invited to take part in our planned calls for proposals.
The KliK Foundation now invites private organisations and government agencies to apply as partners for the procurement of ITMOs by submitting an "Expression of Interest" (EoI). Applications can be submitted on the website international.klik.ch until 1 March 2019. The Foundation will keep looking for partner organisations after this date and will periodically renew its invitation to EoI.
Who is this invitation to EoI aimed at?
This invitation to EoI is aimed at private organisations and government agencies interested in planning and implementing mitigation activities suitable for the generation of ITMOs. Such potential partners include government agencies tasked with the implementation of climate policy instruments, as well as project developers, consulting firms, investors, non-governmental organisations, industry associations or companies with particularly high-emission production facilities or with access to relevant key technologies.
Private organisations must demonstrate that they have the capacity required to plan and implement such often nationwide activities, either alone or within a consortium.
There are no restrictions as to the partner organisations' geographic origin.
Are government agencies and private organisations treated differently?
The cooperative approaches set out under the Paris Agreement give participating countries a central role. Selected activities must thus be recognised as suitable by the partner country and by Switzerland before a contract can be signed for the purchase of ITMOs by the KliK Foundation.
Also, the partner country's competent government agencies must be actively involved in order to define the relationship between an activity and the country's national climate policy, and specify the method for determining ITMOs.
Government agencies therefore enjoy a privileged status and can register directly as partner organisations with their "Expression of Interest".
Where to submit an "Expression of Interest"?
When is the first call for proposals scheduled and which requirements must mitigation activities meet?
KliK plans to carry out a first call for proposals in spring 2019. Using an "open opportunities call", we want to establish a first inventory of the potential and capacity for activities in specific industries and specific countries.
Each proposal submitted by a private partner organisation must be accompanied by an official letter from the partner country's competent government agency, affirming its intention to support the activity and, where appropriate, enter bilateral talks with the Swiss government ("Letter of Intent").
More detailed requirements will be published for each call for proposals. Proposals selected by the Foundation will be further developed in a separate procedure. More details will be published in due time.
Partner organisations whose EoI has been approved are kept informed via publications and calls for proposals. It is further possible to subscribe to our openly accessible newsletter, which will serve to communicate major information concerning KliK's procurement process.


Employer-side attorneys in Washington have long used the "bona fide" dispute defense to avoid the "hammer" of double damages in wage withholding litigation. That defense took a serious blow in the case Hill v. Garda, 424 P.3d 207 (August 23, 2018). The litigation between Garda CL Northwest Inc. and its employees addressed the liability of an employer who fails to make sure that employees get and take meal and rest breaks. In Hill, the Supreme Court addressed again the meal and rest break issues presented in a nine-year-old case where employees are off-site while working for the employer.
Garda operates an armored transportation service and requires its drivers and messengers to remain constantly vigilant while working. Typically, two Garda employees, a driver and a messenger, would be on guard during transport. To ensure the safety of those employees and their cargo, Garda required its drivers and messengers to remain vigilant at all times—even when taking rest and meal breaks.
Plaintiffs, former Garda drivers and messengers, argued that Garda's policy of requiring drivers and messengers to be "vigilant" during paid rest breaks and meal periods violated an applicable Department of Labor regulation, WAC 296-126-092(guaranteeing workers rest breaks and meal periods), and Section49.46.020of the state Minimum Wage Act (entitling employees to compensation for all hours worked).
Plaintiffs filed a lawsuit on behalf of themselves and a class of similarly situated Washington drivers and messengers for compensation for these missed rest breaks and meal periods. They requested compensatory damages for unpaid wages, exemplary double damages under RCW 49.52.070, prejudgment interest under RCW 19.52.010, and, of course, attorney fees.
The trial court certified the plaintiff class. It then ruled that the employees had a right to vigilance-free rest breaks and meal periods under the 2011 decision in Pellino v. Brink's Inc.,164 Wash. App. 668, 267 P.3d 383 (2011).Pellinoheld that a similar "constant vigilance" policy used by one of Garda's competitors, Brink's Inc., violated WAC 296-126-092. Pellino,164 Wash. App. at 694-96. The trial court therefore granted summary judgment to the Plaintiffs on the issue of liability. A bench trial followed on the issue of damages and whether the court would award double damages. The trial court subsequently determined a damage amount and awarded double damages, rejecting the employer's contention that the wages were unpaid due to a bona fide dispute.
Garda argued that since the employees had agreed through collective bargaining to take meal breaks "on the employer's time" (meaning the employer was paying for the meal break), the employees could be required to be vigilant during their meal breaks. The trial court rejected this defense and awarded the employees additional pay for meal breaks (for which the employees had already been paid) and double damages on top of the additional pay, finding that the wage withholding was willful.
While we agree that the Plaintiffs cannot waive their meal periods via a CBA, the state of the law was not clear. No case cited by either party squarely addressed the issue. Garda's interpretation of the Policy on this point was not unreasonable. We conclude that there was a bona fide dispute as to whether the Plaintiffs could waive their meal periods through the CBAs, and, therefore, that Garda did not willfully withhold wages for meal periods.
The Washington Supreme Court reversed and reinstated the award of double damages on this issue. The Supreme Court noted that under Washington law an employer who violates the minimum wage act owes its employees double exemplary damages and attorney fees unless certain exceptions apply. One exception is for wage claims over which the employer and employees have a "bona fide" or "fairly debatable" dispute, meaning a dispute that is both objectively and subjectively reasonable.
In reversing the Court of Appeals, the Supreme Court has now held that an employee cannot be required to even passively engage in any work-related duties during a paid, on duty meal break. If the employee is required to keep an eye on the store, so to speak, during a paid lunch, then the employer violates the minimum wage act rules. The Supreme Court has now set forth the rule that during an "on duty" paid meal period the employee must be relieved of all work duties— such that the only obligation the employer can impose on the employee is that the employee remain on the premises or at a prescribed work site.
The Supreme Court decision raises the question of why an employer would ever pay its employees for a meal break, if the employee cannot be asked to undertake any duties, no matter how passive, during a paid "on duty" meal break.
While the Supreme Court remanded the case for further proceedings on the issue of whether double damages will be awarded in this case based on other arguments made by Garda, the court also held that both double damages and prejudgment interest can be recovered by the workers for the same wage violation.
This case is yet another cautionary tale for employers in the State of Washington.

Most newer Apple products support AirPlay technology.
Many MacBooks -- specifically MacBook Airs that were manufactured after mid-2011 and MacBook Pros manufactured after early 2011 -- support AirPlay Mirroring technology. This feature enables wireless audio and video sharing with another compatible iOS or OS X device, and you can turn it on using the AirPlay icon located in the notifications bar at the top of your screen.
When a compatible AirPlay-enabled device is within the vicinity of your MacBook, an AirPlay icon -- which looks like an outlined square with a solid, upward-facing triangle -- appears at the top of the screen in your Apple menu bar. To enable mirroring, click this icon, and then select the appropriate device to which you'd like to send your screen. You can also enable AirPlay in the Display section of your System Preferences. When the feature is active, the icon appears blue.
If the AirPlay icon doesn't appear on your MacBook -- or if you experience performance issues like lagging or skipping while using AirPlay Mirroring -- there are a few ways to troubleshoot the issue. First, ensure that both devices are connected via Wi-Fi or Ethernet to the same local network. Wi-Fi and AirPlay must be enabled on both devices as well, and there should be no other AirPlay devices trying to stream at the same time.

Converge/Dropdead Split Ain't That Awesome...
It pains me to say that. Honestly. I had HUGE expectations for this split when it was first announced. Two titans of hardcore, coming together, on one slab of wax. It sounded fucking awesome! Slowly but surely, more and more details about the split were announced, and I think the point where I started to have some doubts was when I heard that there would only be one song from each band. "Huh..." I thought, "only one Dropdead song? That's only gonna be like a minute of material." But I still had high hopes, and when it was made available on Deathwish.Inc I bought it immediately. I spun it on my turntable, and was ultimately incredibly disappointed.
First off, the production on the Converge side is incredibly rough and fuzzy. THe bass is high in the mix, the guitars are barely audible, everything just sounds messy. I think that they were trying to go for an old-school powerviolence style production job. But that combined with the vinyl pressing makes it a pretty harsh listening experience, and not in a good way. The song itself is nothing special either; pretty typical Converge, but with more blast beats than usual. Good bass tone though. Again, I think they were just trying to capture the old-school sound.
Dropdead's side is also nothing special, it just sounds like ordinary Dropdead. This song wouldn't sound out of place on any of their other releases, it's just Dropdead being Dropdead. You could argue that this is a testament to their integrity and that over the years they've still managed to keep the same sound, but it just leaves me wanting more. Like, 3 songs more. It's not horrible, it's just underwhelming.
In the end, I guess I was just expecting a more "epic" release, for lack of a better word. This split 7" just fell flat on a lot of levels for me; poor production, underwhelming songs, and poor vinyl pressing. Maybe if there were more songs and it was a 12" I might have been more thrilled, but it's not, and I'm still left unsatisfied.
Dorian Rainwater (Noisear) Interview
Noisear are gonna be hot shit in the American grindcore scene real soon, I'm calling it right now! Hailing from New Mexico, their technical, discordancy, mind-fuck grind is both heavy and cerebral. In a nutshell, they make good grind. So good that Relapse Records snatched them up and released their latest full-length "Subvert the Dominant Paradigm", and it sounds like we'll be getting another one real soon. This interview was conducted over email with guitarist Dorian Rainwater.
Built to Blast: First off, congratulations on Noisear's signing to Relapse Records! How has that relationship been going?
Dorian: Thank you! Relapse is a great label. They help us with promotion, merch and even some booking. They have a large crew of hard working individuals who are also very friendly and down to earth. They back all their bands 100% and are like family.
BTB: Noisear have been grinding since the late 90's, how do you think the band has changed over the years?
Dorian: Like any band over ten years old we have had ups and downs through the years, but one thing we have always maintained is our mutual obsession for creating grind!
BTB: Noisear are definitely not your standard sounding grindcore band, where do your influences come from when it comes to writing music?
Dorian: Too many to name, haha. Napalm Death, Terrorizer, Assuck, Discordance Axis, Human Remains, Lethargy, 324 and many others.
BTB: Getting to your latest album, "Subvert The Dominant Paradigm". How do you think this album differs from your previous releases, if at all?
Dorian: "Subvert" is a multitude of different styles for us being that we mixed alot of different styles,speeds and arrangements we have not done on prior releases.
BTB: I read somewhere that all the songs on "Subvert..." were written in a day. Is that true?
Dorian: Yes its true. We had 4 songs written and wrote 25 in the studio. Technically it was 2 days because the vocals were layed down the next day.
BTB: Now that stuttering/staccato break in the song "Global Warming", that's total Human Remains worship, right?
Dorian: Those are volume swells, and yeah we love Human Remains to no end.
BTB: I also heard that you guys are already writing songs for another full length?
Dorian: We recorded 20 songs with our original guitarist Thomas Romero last weekend. We also added Dalton Tuerck on vocals. Dalton also wrote guitars on a few songs. We are very stoked about the album and can't wait for everyone to hear it!
BTB: Your drummer Bryan Fajardo has become a powerhouse in the American grindcore scene, playing with everyone from Kill the Client to Phobia. With all the bands he's involved with is it sometimes difficult to get together and concentrate on Noisear?
Dorian: No not at all. We live in the same city, KTC jams in the same room at the rehearsal studio and I do studio guitars with Phobia so its all pretty relative.
BTB: I haven't heard much about the New Mexico scene. Is there a grind scene where you're from?
Dorian: Bryan and I live in Dallas (Texas) now. From what I hear there is a lot more death metal than grind in NM now.
BTB: What bands/albums are you currently enjoying?
Dorian: Gride, Libertarian, Psudoku, Dislike(Croatia), Lycanthropy, Hatred Surge, Mindless, Lie Still, Antigama, The Kill, Sulaco, Rotten Sound, Shitstorm, Lack of Interest, Weekend Nachos, Magrudergrind, Shit Life, Cogs and Sprockets and a ton of others that would probably fill this whole page ha!
BTB: Any final words?
Dorian: Thanks for the interview! Less fa$cion more thrashin!!!


Previously, eye care professionals often thought that treating amblyopia in older children would be of little benefit. However, surprising results from a nationwide clinical trial show that many children age seven through 17 with amblyopia may benefit from treatments that are more commonly used on younger children. This study shows that age alone should not be used as a factor to decide whether or not to treat a child for amblyopia.
Studies are very limited at this time and scientists don't know what the success rate might be for treating amblyopia in adults. During the first six to nine years of life, the visual system develops very rapidly. Complicated connections between the eye and the brain are created during that period of growth and development. Scientists are exploring whether treatment for amblyopia in adults can improve vision.

IPRCCC 2018: Panel discussion on branding and what it was 30 years ago
At the e4m IPRCCC media experts, Sanjeev Handa of Maruti Suzuki, Senior Editor Madhavan Narayanan, Indian-Australian Influencer Raj Suri, and Samir Vora of Daily Hunt discuss the topic
At the ninth edition of exchange4media IPRCC Conference that took place on December 13 at the The Leela Kempinski, Gurgaon, media veterans took over the podium to highlight their views on 'how corporate leaders are custodians of the brands reputation.'
Watch the video here, and scroll down to read the full discussion:
Moderating the Session, Madhavan Narayanan, Senior Editor, Writer, Mentor, Consultant put up a question to his fellow panellists on how the whole concept of branding has changed? How is branding today different from what it was 30 years ago? What has been the peculiar change over the years?
Adding to which, Sanjeev Handa, Vice President and Head of Corporate Communications, Maruti Suzuki added branding has not changed much. "Branding to me as I have seen in 18 plus years of my career, it hasn't changed much. Branding might have changed for the eminent writers who have now moved on to version 2, version 3, 4 or 5, which are all technological sides. Now if you go to essence of branding it hasn't changed much. We tend to live with the legacy we have been carrying for long, for example, have I changed my name or has Maruti Suzuki changed its name and the answer is no because that marks the eminent essence of the brand that keeps its customer connected," said Handa.
Contributing to Handa's reply, Raj Suri, Indian-Australian Influencer, Brand Consultant, said, "The branding has not changed much although we are and will always re-invent which is a contradiction. For example, today most CEOs are also a CMO. These CEOs are not on social media but if you see back in Australia there are many CEOs who are very active on all those social media platforms and are talking about philosophy which is totally in sync with the company terms they are working with."
Suri further concluded his answer by giving an example, how social media has played an integral role in bringing out the change in branding.
"Let me give you an example if a CEO posts something on his social media from his personal life, a message is directly delivered to his team mates about his personality which is a win-win situation for the team mates to know more about their CXOs," added Suri.
Samir Vora, CMO, Daily Hunt, also emphasised on how indulgence of social media has played a critical part in this whole scenario of changing era. "In some ways I believe that brands have not changed much, but if you look at the general picture, I think brands have so many movements that I think it has to be true especially when we all know there has been indulgence of social media in defining branding," explained Vora.
Moving on to the next question which Narayanan further emphasised and talked about the gap between the brands and millennials. "What challenges did a brand face or from a CXO perspective how difficult it is to communicate with the newer generation?" asked Narayanan.
Coming from an automobile industry, Handa prompted on the importance of a newer content presented in different way to the millennials. "The challenge is to communicate with the younger generation who are often called as Millennials. They don't want to grab a snackable news but they want it to be served differently. Despite of the fact that we are living in an attention deficit era, millennials are attracted to the conventional yet newer forms of producing content," added Handa.
Adding to the same, Suri said, "According to an Australia data it says the real growth engine is in small business. Let me give you an example of a client, they started as a real estate company, these guys were built on social media, they started talking about the properties, they were not controlled by the topic. They started from bottom and went up to build the principles."
He concluded his statement further saying, "When you have not grown up yourselves as millennials, you are under-estimating yourself."
Further talking about the brand's image and reputation, Vora gave the instances and couple of examples of brands who stood out and spoke about their image and work. "There is a fabulous example of Zomato and their series of advertisements which was loved by few and criticised by few. But the brand stood for themselves, spoke about their work, cleared the misunderstandings and delivered what they wanted to," he added.
Further discussing about how the trust is maintained among the multiple stakeholder, Vora added, "Trust becomes a very important factor. From a content relationship point of view we only work with the branded ones. It is important when brand goes on digital it is very important to work with the right publishers."
There has always been a window between CXO and the employers, to maintain that gap, the employers and CXO needs to be on the same page for better understandings.
"2018 has been a learning and what have saved us is the fact that we were transparent, communicated very clearly for both internal and external stakeholders. For CXO the authenticity and trust will have connection with the customer directly. Today's world is tech driven, people have actual and virtual presence, for CXO to be successful it is important that CXO has to make sure that virtual becomes the real," said Vora.
Adding to the same, Vora added, "I have been lucky to work with Umang Bedi. For him his employers come first because if employers are happy then customers are happy and by product becomes successful automatically."
