Dexter sported an expression bordering on homicidal rage after having his first bath.
It appears that he also holds a grudge. Needless to say we've been sleeping with one eye open since the scrubbing incident went down.
Now can someone please explain to me how a cat can have the above reaction to a simple rub a dub in the tub, but then has the audacity to play in running water any chance he gets?

Taiwanese filmmaker Ang Lee took a break from making Western period dramas to fashion this wild and woolly martial arts spectacular featuring special effects and action sequences courtesy of the choreographer of The Matrix (1999), Yuen Woo Ping. This film, now rated a near-perfect 97% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, was first screened to much acclaim at the 2000 Cannes, Toronto, and New York film festivals and became a favorite when Academy Awards nominations were announced in 2001: Tiger snagged ten nods and later secured four wins for Best Cinematography, Score, Art Direction, and Foreign Language Film.
In the early 19th century, martial arts master Li Mu Bai (Chow Yun-Fat) is about to retire and enter a life of meditation, though he quietly longs to avenge the death of his master, who was killed by Jade Fox (Cheng Pei-pei). He gives his sword, a fabled 400-year-old weapon known as Green Destiny, to his friend, fellow martial arts wizard and secret love Yu Shu Lien (Michelle Yeoh), so that she may deliver it to Sir Te (Sihung Lung). Upon arrival in Peking, Yu happens upon Jen (Zhang Ziyi), a vivacious, willful politician's daughter. That night, a mysterious masked thief swipes Green Destiny, with Yu in hot pursuit – resulting in the first of several martial arts action set pieces during the film. Li arrives in Beijing and eventually discovers that Jen is not only the masked thief but is also in cahoots with the evil Jade. In spite of this, Li sees great talent in Jen as a fighter and offers to school her in the finer points of martial arts and selflessness, an offer that Jen promptly rebukes.

Plougourvest   est une commune du département du Finistère, dans la région Bretagne, en France.

Géographie

Situation
Plougourvest est une commune située dans le Léon au nord de Landivisiau et à une quinzaine de kilomètres au sud du littoral de la Manche. Elle ne fait pas partie de la Ceinture dorée stricto sensu, mais sa partie nord est désormais concernée par l'extension des cultures légumières de celle-ci, la commune n'étant pas éloignée de Saint-Pol-de-Léon.

Le finage de Plougourvest est à cheval sur la ligne de partage des eaux entre les bassins des petits fleuves côtiers coulant vers le nord et se dirigeant vers la Manche (le Stang, un affluent du Guillec, sert de limite communale à l'ouest avec Plougar et la partie nord-est du territoire communal est drainée par un affluent de rive gauche de l'Horn qui, plus en aval, coule au sud de la chapelle de Lambader et alimente le plan d'eau de Lanorgant, situés en Plouvorn, et sert pour partie, plus en amont, de limite orientale à la commune de Plougourvest, la séparant de Plouvorn) et le ruisseau de Kerfeunteniou, un modeste affluent de rive droite de l'Élorn, qui coule vers le sud et draine l'extrême sud du territoire communal. Les altitudes s'échelonnent entre  (au sud-est du finage, entre Kerdurant et Quillivant) et  d'altitude (à la limite nord-est de la commune, entre Troujoulen et Lambader), la majeure partie du finage communal formant un plateau légèrement incliné vers le nord, ce qui lui permet de bénéficier quelque peu sur le plan climatique de l'influence adoucissante de la mer. Le bourg est situé vers  d'altitude.

La commune était traditionnellement un pays de bocage et conserve un habitat dispersé en nombreuses fermes isolées et petits hameaux. Le bourg s'est agrandi ces dernières décennies de quelques lotissements, en raison de la proximité de Landivisiau, où travaillent la plupart des nouveaux venus.

Plougourvest fait partie de la Communauté de communes du Pays de Landivisiau et traditionnellement du pays chikolodenn, initialement le nom de la coiffe portée par les femmes de la région de Saint-Pol-de-Léon.

Description du bourg

Jean Rohou décrit ainsi le bourg de Plougourvest en 2004 :

Climat
Le climat qui caractérise la commune est qualifié, en 2010, de « climat océanique franc », selon la typologie des climats de la France qui compte alors huit grands types de climats en métropole. En 2020, la commune ressort du type « climat océanique » dans la classification établie par Météo-France, qui ne compte désormais, en première approche, que cinq grands types de climats en métropole. Ce type de climat se traduit par des températures douces et une pluviométrie relativement abondante (en liaison avec les perturbations venant de l'Atlantique), répartie tout au long de l'année avec un léger maximum d'octobre à février.

Les paramètres climatiques qui ont permis d'établir la typologie de 2010 comportent six variables pour les températures et huit pour les précipitations, dont les valeurs correspondent à la normale 1971-2000. Les sept principales variables caractérisant la commune sont présentées dans l'encadré ci-après.

Avec le changement climatique, ces variables ont évolué. Une étude réalisée en 2014 par la Direction générale de l'Énergie et du Climat complétée par des études régionales prévoit en effet que la  température moyenne devrait croître et la pluviométrie moyenne baisser, avec toutefois de fortes variations régionales. Ces changements peuvent être constatés sur la station météorologique de Météo-France la plus proche, « Landivisiau », sur la commune de Saint-Servais, mise en service en 1966 et qui se trouve à  à vol d'oiseau, où la température moyenne annuelle évolue de  pour la période 1971-2000, à  pour 1981-2010, puis à  pour 1991-2020.

Urbanisme

Typologie
Plougourvest est une commune rurale, car elle fait partie des communes peu ou très peu denses, au sens de la grille communale de densité de l'Insee.

Par ailleurs la commune fait partie de l'aire d'attraction de Landivisiau, dont elle est une commune de la couronne. Cette aire, qui regroupe , est catégorisée dans les aires de moins de .

Occupation des sols

L'occupation des sols de la commune, telle qu'elle ressort de la base de données européenne d'occupation biophysique des sols Corine Land Cover (CLC), est marquée par l'importance des territoires agricoles (90,4 % en 2018), une proportion sensiblement équivalente à celle de 1990 (91,2 %). La répartition détaillée en 2018 est la suivante :
terres arables (58,9 %), zones agricoles hétérogènes (28,1 %), zones urbanisées (4,6 %), forêts (3,8 %), prairies (3,4 %), espaces verts artificialisés, non agricoles (1,1 %).

L'IGN met par ailleurs à disposition un outil en ligne permettant de comparer l'évolution dans le temps de l'occupation des sols de la commune (ou de territoires à des échelles différentes). Plusieurs époques sont accessibles sous forme de cartes ou photos aériennes : la carte de Cassini (), la carte d'état-major (1820-1866) et la période actuelle (1950 à aujourd'hui).

Toponymie
Le nom de la localité est attesté sous les formes Plebegorvest en 1260, Ploegorguest en 1292, Ploeorguest vers 1330, Ploeourvest vers 1467, Ploeornest en 1481 et Ploervest en 1464 et en 1516.

Plougourvest vient du breton ploe (paroisse) et de Gourguest, saint breton.

Son nom en breton est Gwikourvest et « Guicourvest » en français au .

Histoire

Préhistoire et Antiquité

Deux tumuli sont répertoriés, l'un à Lannurien, l'autre au Spernen. Des urnes cinéraires d'époque romaine et des tuiles gallo-romaines ont été trouvées à Lannurien et à Streat-Glas. Un bracelet en or fut trouvé en 1864 à Spernen, près de la voie romaine allant de Landivisiau à Roscoff.

Moyen Âge

Lors de la Réformation de 1443, Guigourvest, y compris sa trève de Landivisiau, compte 7 nobles : Guyon de Coëtquelven (seigneur dudit lieu), Olivier Glaziou, Hervé de Landiviziau (sieur dudit lieu), Jean de l'Estang, Alain Nédélec, Jean Percevas (sieur du Mesgouin) et Yvon Prigent (sieur de Crechquelen), 8 lors la montre de Lesneven en 1481 et 9 lors de celle du , aussi à Lesneven.

Une foire, ancêtre des foires de Landivisiau, fut créée en 1429 en peine campagne à Coatsabiec (alors en Plougourvest, désormais en Bodilis), aux alentours de la chapelle Saint-Mathieu, ancien prieuré de l'abbaye Saint-Mathieu de Fine-Terre. Ne trouvant pas à se loger dans les environs, les marchands passaient la nuit sur place, brûlant du bois pour se réchauffer. À la suite d'un incident survenu en 1768 (la foule tua un exempt [un policier] et blessa deux gendarmes qui voulaient arrêter un mendiant), la foire fut transférée à Landivisiau.

Époque moderne

Le manoir de Lannurien fut construit à la fin du  par un noble :, M. de Penc'hoadic, mais il fut acheté au  par un riche négociant et armateur de Morlaix, Hervé Barazer. La famille, bien que roturière, se fit appeler Barazer de Lannurien. La présence d'une chapelle, disparue depuis longtemps, est confirmée par l'existence d'une chapellenie qui a subsisté jusqu'à la Révolution française.

En 1534 Plougourvest compte 6 nobles dont François de Tournemine (seigneur de Coëtmeur), Hervé Geoffroy (seigneur de Rochglas) et Olivier Clocheur (seigneur du Mesgouin).

Au , la châtellenie de Daoudour est subdivisée en deux juridictions : celle de "Daoudour-Landivisiau", dite aussi "Daoudour-Coëtmeur", qui avait son siège à Landivisiau et comprenait Plouvorn et ses trèves de Mespaul et Sainte-Catherine, Plougourvest et sa trève de Landivisiau, Guiclan, Saint-Thégonnec, Guimiliau, Lampaul-Bodénès, Pleyber-Christ, Commana et sa trève de Saint-Sauveur, Plounéour-Ménez et pour partie Plouénan ; et celle de "Daoudour-Penzé", qui avait son siège à Penzé et comprenait Taulé et ses trèves de Callot, Carantec, Henvic et Penzé, Locquénolé, Saint-Martin-des-Champs et sa trève de Sainte-Sève.

Un aveu de 1683 évoque « le vieux château de Daoudour (...), ledit château à présent ruiné, situé près la ville de Landiviziau, paroisse de Guicourvest ; sur les fossés, douves et issues duquel château a été bâti des logements et jardinages appartenant au seigneur avouant, tant en fief qu'en domaine, à présent nommé "le terroir du Vieux Châtel", contenant sous ledit château, douves et issues, un journal ».

L'armorial du Léon cite comme nobles de Plougourvest pour la période 1674-1690 les sieurs de Coëtmeur, de Coëtquelven, de Coëtivelec, de Parscau, Glaziou (sieur de Landivisiau), Percevas (sieur du Mescouin), Prégent (sieur de Crec'hquelhen). En 1710 décède Gaspar Allain, sieur de Bazorne, lieutenant de la milice de Gwicourvest [Plougourvest] et receveur de la seigneurie de Landivisiau.

À Plougourvest, entre 1688 et 1693, 25,2 % des décès surviennent avant l'âge de 1 an et 50,4 % avant l'âge de  ; 11,7 % seulement après . Famines et épidémies accroissent le nombre de morts à enterrer dans l'église, comme c'était alors la coutume :  à Plougourvest en 1761. En 1710, année de disette, sinon de famine, la mortalité augmenta de 32 % à Plougourvest par rapport aux deux années précédentes.

Les fonts baptismaux de l'église paroissiale de Plougourvest datent de 1667. Le recteur était alors « noble et vénérable Louis de Crésoles », selon une inscription.

Les prêtres avaient laissé le presbytère de Plougourvest se dégrader et le corps politique décida de le fermer. Le recteur saisit la justice et, le , un arrêt du Parlement de Bretagne ordonne au corps politique de la paroisse de rendre les clefs du presbytère au recteur. Trois ou quatre grands chênes situés dans le cimetière sont vendus en 1766 pour subvenir aux réparations urgentes, ce qui n'empêche pas le nouveau recteur, Guillaume Le Fur, de trouver le presbytère et le cancel en mauvais état et d'en demander réparation aux héritiers de son prédécesseur.

Jean-Baptiste Ogée décrit ainsi Guicourvest en 1778 :

En 1789, il subsistait deux maisons nobles à Plougourvest : L'Estang et Mescouin, et deux à Landivisiau : Coëtmeur et Coëtquelven.

Révolution française

Le , le maire de Plougourvest avise le district de Landerneau que le recteur et le vicaire de la paroisse « ont déclaré qu'ils ne prêteraient pas le serment de fidélité prescrit » à la Constitution civile du clergé ; le , ceux-ci émigrent en Angleterre.

L'attitude des habitants de Plougourvest lors de la levée en masse est connue avec précision grâce à la découverte récente du registre des délibérations de la commune : le , le corps municipal de Plougourvest répondit à François Mathurin Lacaze (de Landivisiau), commissaire nommé par le district de Landerneau, qu'aucun volontaire ne s'était présenté pour s'inscrire à la levée de  demandée à la commune ; en conséquence le commissaire fit sonner les cloches et les hommes « se sont tous trouvés assemblés à l'église (...) à neuf heures précises ». L'assurance leur fut donnée que la levée n'était que « pour le service des côtes » et non pour aller se battre sur le front du nord-est (dans le cadre des Guerres révolutionnaires). Le corps municipal décida de tergiverser, demandant huit jours pour faire la "cueillette" avant de procéder au tirage au sort et fit observer que le nombre de soldats demandé était élevé (« plus de la moitié de celui de Landivisiau »). Finalement le tirage au sort eût lieu le ... après la bataille de Kerguidu, une fois donc la défaite des insurgés connue.

En 1799, il n'y a plus que 46 marchands de toiles à Saint-Thégonnec (mais c'est encore la commune où ils sont les plus nombreux), 26 à Guiclan, 23 à Plouvorn, 16 à Bodilis, 10 à Landivisiau, 4 à Saint-Servais, 3 à Plougar, 2 à Plougourvest (Guillaume Le Guen à Lannurien et René Le Bihan à Rochglas).

Le

Les écoles de Plougourvest
Plougourvest a un instituteur dès 1813. En 1833, 53 % en hiver et 40 % en été des garçons de 5 à  étaient scolarisés, mais dans un local obscur, humide et malsain. La construction d'une nouvelle école est décidée en 1843 (elle est achevée  plus tard). En 1855, à la demande du Conseil municipal, un vicaire instituteur est nommé par l'évêque pour remplacer le maître laïc qui exerçait précédemment ( étaient inscrits en 1867 dans une classe unique) ; une nouvelle école des garçons est construite en 1873, mais est victime d'un incendie en 1895 et une autre est alors construite, la précédente devenant la mairie) ; l'effectif est de  en 1906, une deuxième classe ouvrant en 1907 seulement).

Une école de filles ouvrit en 1848 mais ferma rapidement ; ce n'est qu'en 1872 qu'une école de filles ouvrit à nouveau, en grande partie grâce à une donation de la comtesse Marie Aimée Charlotte Le Gac de Laurabu, veuve Bizien du Lézard ; elle est tenue par les Sœurs de l'Immaculée Conception de Saint-Méen. Une école publique de filles ouvrit vers la fin du , mais ses effectifs culminèrent à seulement  en 1919 (elle ferma vers 1925) alors que l'école privée catholique en accueillait entre 106 et 153 entre 1912 et 1920, dont une trentaine d'internes.

Les autres faits du

Le , un arrêté du maire de Plougourvest rappelle la suppression du droit de vaine pâture dans la commune.

L'alcoolisme était alors important : le , Alain Guiader, maire de la commune, « considérant les malheurs et les désordres qui se multiplient au sein de la population rurale par suite de funestes habitudes d'intempérance » décide une limitation des horaires d'ouverture des cabarets.

En 1846 à Plougourvest, 49 % des terres étaient cultivées (dont 23 % en froment, 22 % en avoine, 16 % en orge, 16 % en trèfle et luzerne, 8 % en sarrasin, 5 % en pommes de terre, 5 % en panais, 3 % en choux, navets, betteraves et rutabagas, 2 % en lin et chanvre ; étonnamment le seigle n'était pas cultivé alors que c'était pourtant une culture fréquente dans la région), 38 % étaient en landes et bruyères, 2 % en bois et taillis, 2 % en prés naturels. La commune comptait à cette date 158 chevaux, 312 ovins, 64 porcs et 105 ruches qui produisaient  de miel.

Le journal Océan précise en 1847 qu'à Plougourvest règne « une affreuse misère ». En 1853, le Conseil municipal indique qu'il y a dans la commune «  cherchant l'aumône » (sur une population de ). Le pourcentage de conscrits illettrés à Plougourvest entre 1858 et 1867 est de 48 %.

A. Marteville et P. Varin, continuateurs d'Ogée, décrivent ainsi Plougourvest en 1853 :

Le , jour de la foire Saint-Mathieu dans le hameau de Coatsabec, alors en Plougourvest (désormais en Bodilis), la foule tue un exempt et blesse deux gendarmes qui voulaient arrêter un mendiant. À la suite de cet incident, la foire de Coatsabiec fut transférée à Landivisiau ; c'est l'origine de la foire Saint-Mathieu de cette ville.

Gilles Cardinal, originaire de Plougourvest, soldat au  de ligne, fut blessé lors de la bataille de Gravelotte pendant la Guerre de 1870.

Un nouveau presbytère est construit en 1871, l'ancien étant insalubre ; la destruction de ce dernier permit d'agrandir le cimetière.

Le tracé du chemin d'intérêt commun  (actuel RD 35), allant de Landivisiau à la mer, via Plougourvest, Tréflaouénan et Cléder, est adopté en 1873 et les travaux sont en cours en 1880, ainsi que pour le chemin allant vers Lambader.

Un arrêté du Préfet du Finistère en date du  suspendit de ses fonctions le maire de Plougourvest, « une somme ayant été allouée pour être distribuée aux indigents de la commune à l'occasion de la fête nationale, le maire n'a pas fait de cette somme l'emploi qui était prescrit ».

En 1896, un document indique que les Sœurs de l'Immaculée Conception de Saint-Méen assistaient et soignaient gratuitement les malades de Plougourvest à domicile.

« À Plougourvest, dans mon enfance, nous parlions encore des deux cordelées, la longue et la brève, à l'origine subdivisons fiscales, devenues associations d'entraide. Elles ne fonctionnaient plus, mais on devait en principe assister à l'enterrement de toute personne de sa cordelée ».

La Belle Époque

Le , Kerbiriou, curé de Plougourvest, fait partie des 31 prêtres du diocèse de Quimper dont les traitements sont retenus par décision du gouvernement Combes « tant qu'ils ne feront pas emploi de la langue française dans leurs instructions et l'enseignement du catéchisme » car ils utilisaient le breton.

La décision de construire une école des filles à Plougourvest est prise en 1905.

L'inventaire des biens d'église a lieu à Plougourvest le . « À notre arrivée, le tocsin a été sonné et la protestation ci-annexée a été lue. L'église, remplie de fidèles, était fermée. Sur nos instances, Monsieur le Recteur a donné l'ordre d'ouvrir et nous avons pu procéder à l'inventaire, et cela au milieu d'une nombreuse assistance chantant des cantiques ».

Le journal L'Univers du  relate le mariage à Plougourvest du comte François de Goësbriand, capitaine au 3e régiment d'infanterie coloniale, avec  Élisabeth de Quengo de Tonquédec, fille de l'ancien zouave pontifical, capitaine des mobiles et maire de Plougourvest Urbain de Quengo de Tonquédec.

L'Entre-deux-guerres

La ligne ferroviaire à voie métrique exploitée initialement par les Chemins de fer armoricains allant de Plouescat à Rosporden ouvre en 1912 et dessert notamment une gare située à Plougourvest ; cette voie ferrée croise à Landivisiau celle des Chemins de fer de l'Ouest. Le train est surnommé An tren patatez (le "train des pommes de terre"). Son exploitation fut reprise par les Chemins de fer départementaux du Finistère en 1921. La ligne ferma en 1946.

Le , le Conseil municipal de Plougourvest vote le principe de l'électrification de la commune, mais un devis ne fut établi qu'en 1938 et l'électrification ne fut réalisée qu'après la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

En 1934 tous les chemins vicinaux et la plupart des chemins ruraux donnant accès aux fermes étaient empierrés à Plougourvest, ce qui était loin d'être le cas sans la plupart des communes bretonnes de l'époque où les chemins creux, de véritables bourbiers en période hivernale, prédominaient encore largement.

En 1934, l'école publique de garçons du bourg est regroupée avec celle du Gouezou, une école de hameau.

Le , le Conseil municipal de Plougourvest décide de refuser toute organisation de bal public dans la commune.

L'élevage des chevaux, notamment de postiers bretons, était alors très pratiqué à Plougourvest, plusieurs d'entre eux, des étalons, furent primés et vendus à divers haras.

L'après Seconde Guerre mondiale

Le , une des quatre statues de Notre-Dame de Boulogne, celle de l'itinéraire occidental, fut accueillie à Plougourvest : « À Plougourvest, tout le monde se pressait pour l'accueillir au pied d'un arc de triomphe à l'entrée de la paroisse, maire et recteur en tête. Tout le monde l'accompagna au long d'autres monuments triomphaux jusqu'à la sortie [de la paroisse]. Certains marchaient sans chaussures, sur  de routes caillouteuses, les pieds en sang ». Ce fut « sans doute un des derniers avatars d'une religion populaire collective mi-procession mi-croisade, où se mêle une ancienne pastorale de la peur et l'espoir du renouveau » a écrit Yann Celton.

En 1945 à Plougourvest, tous les hommes sauf six et toutes les femmes sauf trois allaient régulièrement à la messe. « La plus belle cérémonie était celle de la Fête-Dieu au printemps : une procession sur près de , jusqu'à un reposoir en forme d'autel pour le Saint Sacrement, dans un espace tendu de draps ornés de boutons de roses. Le sol était couvert de sciure de bois teinte, entourée de marc de café et parsemée de fleurs de genêts et de digitales, disposées en figures géométriques ».

En 1946, le recteur de la paroisse, outrepassant ses pouvoirs, dit aux parents de Jean Rohou qu'ils étaient excommuniés car ils mettaient leur fils à « l'école du diable » en l'envoyant dans un collège public. L'ouverture d'une école privée catholique de garçons en octobre 1949 entraîna une véritable désertion de l'école publique :  pour l'école catholique contre 12 pour l'école laïque et seulement 6 l'année suivante. L'école publique n'accueille plus que  en 1969 et ferme alors en septembre 1969.

En 1949 une école privée catholique de garçons remplace l'école publique qui existait jusque-là. En 1961, l'école catholique de filles, forte de 3 classes, passe dans le giron de la Congrégation des Filles du Saint-Esprit de Saint-Brieuc.

L'électricité arrive à Plougourvest en 1950, même si le principe de l'électrification de la commune avait été voté dès 1925.

En 1954, Plougourvest comptait parmi ses terres cultivées 27 % en froment, 16 % en avoine, 4 % en orge, 11% en trèfle et luzerne, 14 % en pommes de terre, 27 % en choux, navets et betteraves, 1 % en lin et chanvre ; la commune comptait alors  410 chevaux, 1085 bovins, 12 ovins et 776 porcs. En 1979, le maïs est devenu la culture dominante, devançant le blé ; les cultures légumières ont beaucoup progressé, surtout les artichauts et les choux-fleurs, mais aussi les brocolis, petits pois et haricots verts, occupant désormais 10 % de la S.A.U. et devançant désormais les pommes de terre ; les prairies, le plus souvent temporaires, occupent 44 % de la surface agricole utile ; le nombre des bovins a alors augmenté de 48 % par rapport à 1954, celui des porcs a été multiplié par dix et celui des volailles par cent, en raison de l'essor des élevages hors-sol ; par contre les chevaux ont disparu (remplacés par des tracteurs : ils étaient déjà 50 en 1961). En 2004, 85 % des fermes recensées en 1930 avaient disparu, permettant l'agrandissement des exploitations subsistantes.

Un soldat originaire de Plougourvest, Robert Roué, est mort pendant la Guerre d'Algérie.

En 1968, le conseil municipal de Plougourvest décida de détruire les deux-tiers du cimetière entourant l'église pour faire un parking

Le club de football, qui avait été créé avant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, mais mis en sommeil ensuite, est baptisé "Étoile filante de Plougourvest" (dénommé ainsi en raison de la forme géographique de la commune qui ressemble à une étoile à cinq branches) en 1968 lors de sa recréation.

Le
En 2012, l'hippodrome de Landivisiau, situé en fait sur la commune de Plougourvest, a été transformé en "Équipôle du pays de Landivisiau".

Les transformations de Plougourvest

Jean Rohou décrit en ces termes en 2004 les changements survenus depuis sa jeunesse dans sa commune natale : « Le cimetière est devenu pelouse. Le bourg est plein de pavillons avec garage, comme dans n'importe quelle banlieue. Dans la campagne, il n'y a presque plus de talus, les cultures sont entièrement différentes et les vaches ont changé de couleur ».

Monuments

 Le château de Kervoanec : la famille qui porte son nom y réside en 1503. Elle le cède en 1566 à Alain de Kéréhorat, seigneur de Kergournadec'h. En 1710, Renée Corentin Allain, seigneur de Pen-an-Ru, y habite. Après 1780, il passe par alliance à la famille Bizien de Lizart qui le lègue à la famille Quengo de Tonquédec, derniers propriétaires. Le château actuel, reconstruit vraisemblablement pendant le deuxième quart du , a été vendu en 1933 à la municipalité de Landivisiau, transformé en asile tenu par les sœurs du Saint-Esprit jusqu'en 1978 et reconverti en EHPAD (Établissement d'hébergement pour personnes âgées dépendantes, c'est-à-dire en maison de retraite pour personnes âgées) sous le nom de « Résidence Saint-Michel ».
 L'église paroissiale Saint-Pierre, inscrite au titre des monuments historiques en 2012.
« Malgré la désertion des fidèles et la multiplication des maisons dans le bourg, l'église en reste le centre. Elle est jolie et bien dégagée : un élégant clocher de 1588, un porche méridional de 1616, des fonts baptismaux de 1667, un autel et un retable légèrement antérieurs (...), plus deux bannières, un calice et une patène du , un ciboire du  et un beau reliquaire du  en argent ciselé ». Ces trésors ont été cachés lors de la Terreur, probablement au manoir de Lannurien.

 Quatre pierres rondes ont été exhumées en 1979 lors du déplacement d'un calvaire érigé en 1870 dans le cimetière ; le recteur d'alors les avait enterrées dans le soubassement du calvaire afin d'empêcher les femmes de venir s'y frotter le ventre en rite de fécondité.

William Werner
William Werner was born in New York City. When he was 18, he enlisted in Battery G on Dec. 29, 1863 in Chicago. He had hazel eyes, black hair, and a fair complexion, and was 5 feet 6 inches tall. He gave his occupation as farmer.
At the battle of Tupelo, "he was driving the wheel team of the limber," fell off when turning about, and "two wheels ran over him injuring his feet." He was carried off the field on the caisson. Nevertheless, he remained in the service until he was discharged at Springfield, IL in September 1865. He probably had his picture made at this time. Also at some point during his service, he suffered from maleria.
In 1898, he was unmarried and had no living children, and resided at the Illinois State Soldiers Home at Quincy. He died on May 4, 1901.

Special agents accuse High Point man of issuing false driver's liability forms
Posted By: Angela Brown December 11, 2022
North Carolina Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey today announced the arrest of William Robert Justice, 58, of 2204 Chestnut St. Extension, High Point. Justice was charged with felony insurance fraud and felony obtaining property by false pretense.
Special agents with the Department of Insurance's Criminal Investigations Division accuse Justice of selling false driver's liability insurance forms to five different people. The five needed to produce proof of liability insurance to receive a North Carolina driver's license, according to the arrest warrant.
Justice obtained $735 from Hix's Insurance Center as a result of the offenses, the warrant says.
The offenses occurred between Jan. 2, 2018, and Sept. 28, 2018.
High Point police arrested Justice on Dec. 27 in Guilford County. He was released on a written promise to appear in court.
Insurance fraud costs American consumers approximately $80 billion dollars a year. According to Commissioner Causey, fraud costs North Carolinians between 15 and 20 cents of every dollar paid on insurance premiums — and it's getting worse.
"I am determined to stem the tide of insurance fraud in this state in order to save residents money," said Commissioner Causey. "That's why I am dedicated to the mission of our NCDOI law enforcement officers who investigate and prosecute claims of insurance and bail bonding fraud."
To report suspected fraud, contact the N.C. Department of Insurance Criminal Investigations Division at 919-807-6840. Callers may remain anonymous. Information is also available at www.ncdoi.gov/fraud-control.

Q: returning Json result failing I have this code in my controller
public JsonResult GetStatsSickDaysByMonth()
    {
        var sickDays = from day in sickdayRepository.All
                       group day by day.StartDate.Month into g
                       select new { month = g.Key, days = g.Sum(day => (day.EndDate - day.StartDate).Days + 1) };

        return Json(sickDays, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
    }

But when I try to run this I get this error:
DbArithmeticExpression arguments must have a numeric common type.
...
Exception Details: System.ArgumentException: DbArithmeticExpression arguments must have a numeric common type.
This is inside a regular asp.net mvc controller.
I know I can use a more "common" approach and add the data to a class and so on. There are just sometimes very handy to return data this way
Thank you for comments below:
I fixed this based on the comments by changing code to:
var sickDays = from day in sickdayRepository.All
                       group day by day.StartDate.Month into g
                       select new { month = g.Key, days = g.Sum(day => System.Data.Entity.DbFunctions.DiffDays(day.StartDate, day.EndDate)) };

This twin-centre honeymoon to South Africa and Mauritius is the perfect combination of culture, safari and beach. From wining and dining in Cape Town and the Winelands, to exhilarating game viewing in the Sabi Sands, topped off with a blissful stint of R&R on the white sand beaches of Mauritius - your romantic getaway will be utterly unforgettable.
Perfect forHoneymooners craving first-class cuisine, spectacular safari and barefoot luxury.
In the knowA full day wine making course in the Cape Wine Region, where you can bottle blended wine (usually red varietals) and label your own to take home with you.
On arrival into Cape Town, you will be met and transferred to the 21 Nettleton, your luxury abode for the next three nights. Here you can enjoy the 360-degree views of the Atlantic Ocean, Table Mountain, 12 Apostles range and Lion's Head from the flower-filled terrace of your suite or the green gardens by the pool before taking the cable car up to explore the iconic flat-topped mountain. Walk hand in hand around the City Bowl, starting in the historic and pedestrianised Company Gardens or in the fragrant Malay Quarter, Bo Kaap, to really get a sense of Cape Town's cultural heritage. If you'd prefer to spend your days on the beach, head to Clifton Beach, just below your hotel, or for a bit of wildlife spotting, make your way along the Cape Peninsula to False Bay to see African penguins and breaching southern right whales. In the evenings you'll be able to sample some of the finest cuisine and freshest of seafood - we highly recommend dining in the restored Old Biscuit Mill silo, either at the Test Kitchen, one of the world's best restaurants, or at the Pot Luck Club, the coolest place to be in the city.
Today, you'll swap the surroundings of white beaches and misty mountains for the rod-straight vineyards and Cape Dutch architecture of the glorious Cape Winelands. You'll be driven to Franschhoek, where you'll stay at the romantic and intimate wine estate, La Petite Ferme. Overlooking a trout-filled lake and the valley's quaint town, you can pass the time leisurely sipping on chilled Chardonnays and smooth Merlots as you take in the stunning views from the plunge pool. Pop into a wine estate's art gallery to see beautiful works by acclaimed local artists or stroll around the charming streets of Franschhoek, starting at the top of Huguenot Road to see the Huguenot Monument. This is also where you can board the Wine Tram, a hop-on hop-off tour that offers a great way to see several estates and join in many tastings in one day.
Catching a short flight to Nelspruit, you will be whisked off to the northern corner of the exclusive Sabi Sand Game Reserve, where your safari adventure awaits you at Nottens Bush Camp. You can depart on two game drives a day with an experienced ranger in search of the notorious Big Five or join a walking safari to discover the smaller hidden treasures of the region. The morning and afternoon safaris can be broken up by lazy hours spent in the cooling swimming pool or at the Nature Spa. In the evening, grab a cocktail or glass of wine and head to the wooden deck area to watch elephants and other herds drink at the waterhole. When the sun sets, share a romantic moment by the fire before dining on delicious fare by candlelit.
Leaving South Africa behind, it's time for some Indian Ocean beach bliss. Nestled in 20 acres of sub-tropical gardens but right on the sandy shores of Turtle Bay, the Oberoi Mauritius is a five-star hotel perfect for spending a few days flopping between the palm-fringed beaches and the exclusive, honey-coloured spa pavilions. Relax together with a couples massage, have a personal butler set up a 'bubbles and bliss' experience in your room, or, if you can still remember them, renew your vows at the private cove, followed by a sunset photoshoot and a secluded dinner on the beach. You can stretch your legs along the miles of sand, get your PADI open water certificate and go scuba diving to the area's untouched coral reefs, or take part in the long list of watersports, from glass bottom boat rides and hobbie cat sailing to sea kayaking and pedalo boating. If the idea of going home is stressing you out, let the wellness instructor help you with a breathing exercise, tailored to expand the lungs and increase oxygen intake, or with a hatha yoga session. For the inner artist, consider a painting or sculpture class or a visit to the nearby art gallery and for those interested in learning a skill to take home with them, book the cooking class led by the hotel's masterchefs.

New signing with Alfa Romeo Racing Antonio Giovinazzi has called his first outing in Formula 1 a "tough race" after coming home in 15th place.
Suffering a collision on the opening lap, the 25-year-old said he did the best he could in the situation.
"It was a tough race. I picked up some damage to my car on lap one and after that it was challenging to stay up to speed," said Giovinazzi.
The Italian recognises that it is still early in the season, and that there is room for improvement, and so is focused on the next race on the calendar: Bahrain.

The following account is a brief overview of the unfolding and continuing story of three family members of Cardiac Athletes, Coppertone, Intrepid MJ and 'Tiger'-Lilli.
As I write this, in February of 2012, I am a 49-year-old father of three adult children and grandfather of two. Though not a particularly talented athlete, I have lived my life with a definite focus on physical fitness, enjoyment of sport and outdoor activity; on eating sensibly, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and encouraging my children to do the same.
For most of my adult life I have trained regularly and participated in a variety of sports as diverse as surf life-saving, kayaking, surfing, triathlon, cycling, mountain running, wrestling, various football codes, multisport racing and orienteering. I made a living in a series of careers that put my sporting and fitness skills to good use, as a sea kayak guide and river kayak and canoe guide, wilderness survival skills instructor, police search and rescue squad member and high angle rope rescue technician.
I spent many years coaching and managing junior sporting teams in kayaking, surf life-saving, cross country running and wrestling.
Most people who knew me saw me as either a fitness fanatic or a bit of a try-hard athlete, having a go at everything and making the good athletes look even better! I was usually in the second half of the field in most triathlons or running events; sometimes at the very back. I could hold my own in a kayak or surf racing ski and had a few little wins here and there.
Though I was never going to threaten the experts on a national level, I still enjoyed training like a world champion – and got much satisfaction just from taking part in any sport and reaping the fitness rewards.
I spent most of my life in pretty good health and felt very confident about the fact that I was super fit. From a cardiovascular standpoint I felt that I was in top shape! Even at the age of 42, with a pretty stressful frontline policing career, I found the time and energy to train six days a week for the 2005 Coolangatta Gold Surf Ironman Race.
It is a gruelling test of stamina and ocean skills.
When I completed the event in October 2005 I was ecstatic as I had been dreaming about doing it for many years. I guess you could say that I was at the peak of my fitness and confidence.

When bad news calls, it's the opportunity for a great, positive, uniquely human reaction. But, what we don't know is in how many ways and over what expanse of time a person may have to "beat" the bad thing. We aren't Rocky, or Norma Rae, or Scarlett O'Hara. We are just who we are: a collection of experiences and knowledge, with our individual set of coping mechanisms. "Beating" something over which you have no real control is … a journey.
My journey began at birth. I was born with a bicuspid aortic valve. Now, back in 1958 there was no ultrasound imaging to confirm this and it was given a variety of vague names, which existed in the back of my mind as I did all the normal kid things, punctuated with yearly check-up visits to St Michaels Hospital in Newark, NJ.
I played tennis and captained my high school team, joined the rugby team in college and graduated to post-college power lifting and bodybuilding. Eventually, I left behind any thought of congenital heart disease and moved to NYC, pursued a career, went back to school and became a Physical Therapist, got married and had children.
Weight-lifting put too much pressure on the defective valve. But weight-lifting had defined my life and who I was for nearly 20 years! I had to do something else, and that something else was run and bike. It wasn't easy going aerobic from anaerobic but I slogged along.

Although we have only featured two here, there are 15 other Cardiac Athlete life stories to read in Book One, and many more coming in Book Two, which will hopefully be published before Christmas 2017. These books could be a fantastically inspiring present for some lucky person.

The one thing that was noticeably absent in 2011 was time spent on El Capitan. This, however, was all about to change.
The Diamond in Winter is an objective that has clawed at my ambition since I moved to Colorado.
Wispy clouds churned around us like the vapors from a boiling cauldron, and for a moment our surroundings became dreamlike.

On physical examination, a 5-cm erythematous ring was noted on her left central knee and a serpiginous, papular, erythematous lesion was noted on the medial aspect of the knee. The patient had been treated with ivermectin four years earlier, and reported that the lesions resolved at that time. The lesions reappeared approximately one year later, this time with mild pruritus and slight hypersensitivity to touch.
Based on the patient's history and physical appearance of the rash, which one of the following is the correct diagnosis?
A. Hansen's disease.
B. Granuloma annulare.
C. Sarcoidosis.
D. Cutanea larvae migrans.
E. Tinea corporis.
The answer is B: granuloma annulare. A skin biopsy showed interstitial lymphocytic and histiocytic infiltrates with collagenolysis, consistent with granuloma annulare. The patient was treated with clobetasol steroid cream and instructed to follow up in four weeks.
Granuloma annulare is a benign, self-limited cutaneous condition. It is characterized by annular, flesh-colored or slightly erythematous plaques and papules that are generally asymptomatic.1,2 Some patients may report mild pruritus, as noted in this case.3,4 There are several forms of granuloma annulare, including localized, generalized, perforating, subcutaneous, and actinic.3 The localized form accounts for approximately 75 percent of all cases.3
The lesions of granuloma annulare can occur anywhere on the body, but most often involve the dorsal surfaces of the hands, feet, elbows, or knees.2 The condition usually begins with an asymptomatic, flesh-colored papule that undergoes central involution and slowly develops into a ring-shaped lesion.1 Over several months, the lesion gradually may increase in diameter, with a final size of 0.5 to 5 cm.1 The duration of the disease is highly variable. Approximately one half of patients experience spontaneous resolution without scarring, whereas, in other patients, lesions may last for years.1,3 Among those who experience resolution of lesions, the disease commonly recurs.2,3
The diagnosis of granuloma annulare often may be made by its characteristic clinical presentation. In uncertain cases where biopsy is necessary, the histology shows collagen degeneration caused by an inflammatory reaction that occurs around the blood vessels.1,2 Although the etiology of granuloma annulare is unknown, theories include vasculitis, trauma, monocyte activation, and type IV delayed hypersensitivity.3
Because lesions are usually asymptomatic, they are best left untreated. If cosmetic appearance is a concern, these lesions may be treated with intralesional corticosteroid injections, topical corticosteroids, electrodesiccation, cryotherapy, ultraviolet light therapy, or even systemic agents (e.g., dapsone, colchicine, chloroquine) for patients who have widespread lesions.1–3 None of these methods are curative.
Hansen's disease (leprosy) is a chronic granulomatous disease that affects the skin and nerves.2 These lesions are typically well-defined, hypopigmented papules and may have slight scale.2,3 Additional clinical features that help distinguish this diagnosis are perilesional cutaneous anesthesia and exposure to an endemic area (especially Brazil, India, southern Africa, Myanmar, and Nepal).2,3 Diagnosis is made by demonstrating leprosy bacilli in the skin.2
Sarcoidosis can present with a number of different skin findings, including brownish-red plaques that wax and wane.2 The face is most commonly involved, but plaques also may occur on the trunk or the dorsal surfaces of the arms or legs.3 Diagnosis often is obvious from the usual clinical presentation (cough, dyspnea) and radiologic findings (hilar lymphadenopathy), but biopsy of cutaneous lesions may provide confirmatory information in unclear cases.2,3
Cutaneous larvae migrans is characterized by a thin, erythematous, serpiginous papular eruption caused by hookworm larvae traveling through the skin.1,2 Infection is acquired by skin contact with soil contaminated by dog or cat feces.1 It occurs most commonly in travelers returning from tropical locations.1 During larval migration, a local inflammatory response is provoked, which causes moderate to intense pruritus.1,2 If untreated, the larvae usually die within two to eight weeks, but may persist for up to one year.1,2
Tinea corporis classically begins as a flat, scaly spot that later develops a raised advancing border.1,2 The border may develop red, raised papules or vesicles, while the central area becomes hypopigmented and less scaly.1 A potassium hydroxide examination of skin scrapings may reveal hyphae, but this is often difficult to demonstrate because of the low fungal load.2 Resolution of lesions after empiric antifungal treatment is the most common means by which tineal infection is verified.

Back in May, Google introduced a new feature to its maps called Street View, which allows users to get a 360-degree view of city streets at essentially eye-level. Currently, the program has only been rolled out in a select few major US cities, but it has slowly been spreading. Apparently, though, you shouldn't expect it in Canada anytime soon.
First, a little background - not too long after the program launched in the US, there was a big ruckus going on about privacy concerns. However, the issue had no legal basis in the United States because you can take a picture of anything that can be seen from the street (hence the root cause of the Streisand Effect). Nonetheless, Google responded and made it possible to request an image be removed from Street View.
It may not be enforceable in the US, but Canada is a whole different animal. Jennifer Stoddart, Canada's privacy commissioner, says that Street View could break Canada's privacy laws. The main issue is that any image of a person that allows them to be identified is considered personal information and falls under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act.
While there are options to have an image removed, Stoddart says that that may not be sufficient enough since individuals are not notified at the time the picture is taken. By the time someone realizes that his or her picture is out in the wild on the internet, individual privacy may have already been violated.
Google has yet to respond to this concern, but we'll be sure to follow up on it as the story grows.
Do you feel that these images really violate someone's privacy? Maybe you feel that they don't since these are publicly taken images. Either way, tell us how you feel about the issue over in the forums or in the comment section below.
Google has admitted that its Street View cars have been capturing unencrypted WiFi traffic for years.


You must have heard about the famous English proverb- "Practice makes a man perfect", which means that if you want to be perfect at something, you can achieve it through practice. For instance, if you have been reading English books and magazines, but still cannot speak fluently in English, this means you need more practice.
English is the most commonly spoken language in the world. And this is the reason why English skills are in high demand across the world. Being able to speak English lets you communicate effectively, and this opens up lots of possibilities for you in terms of travel, studies and employment.
Reading only magazines and books won't help, you will need to find better ways to be develop your English language skills. If you have basic knowledge of the language, you can practice English regularly to speak English more fluently.
Here are a few tips that can help you to speak English like a pro!
Thinking in your native language and then translating it into English, is the biggest mistake that you may be making till now. Thinking and speaking in two different languages leads to slow and interrupted speech. And if you want to speak English fluently then you will have to do both thinking and speaking, in English. Make it a habit to think in English and do not feel embarrassed if you make mistakes, because you learn from mistakes.
The more you read the better you get at English language. You can start with reading newspapers, books and magazines and even read online. If you are a student you can even access student discount on books, through which you can get discount on books and magazines. These amazing offers on books let you buy different books and magazines at discounted prices.
You may think that reading books and magazines is one of the best ways to improve your command over English. But, unless you develop a fluency in speaking English, it won't help. Talk to yourself in English! It might seem a silly thing to do at first, but it is indeed one of the best ways to improve your English. Practicing alone is easy, as you won't feel embarrassed about making mistakes. Besides improving your English language skills, you will also boost your confidence.
And you thought learning English is boring? Think again! Make your learning fun with word games like scrabble, hangman, and charades. Word games help in improving your vocabulary, word pronunciations, and also boost your language skills.
Another fun and easy way to learn English is singing along to your favorite English songs. Don't stress yourself with the lyrics, take help from the internet and sing along.
Build your command over English by viewing English TV shows, soaps and movies. And if you have trouble understanding the words, there are subtitles to help you! Speak along and try to match the pronunciations, accent and speed.
Where there is will there is way! There are many ways to learn English, and if you like reading books and magazines, there are student discount on books to help you! Take your time and practice, because self-help is the best help!

I've managed to get hold of my old teacher in New Orleans, a houdon called Tante Mattie. She's agreed to see you and talk to you about the whole magic deal, if I bring you down to meet her. I'm thinking of driving, mostly 'cause I don't think you and a plane full of people is a good combination right now - not that I don't trust you, but planes get delayed and you're still learning to control things.
I'm emailing your teachers to get permission to nab you for about a week. February 13 through to the 22nd or so. And hey, there won't be any snow!
You probably all know I've been tutoring Nico in magic and such. I was hoping to be able to take her down to New Orleans with me to meet with one of my old instructors, Tante Mattie, who I think will be able to help her a lot with this mutant power of hers. I'd be looking at having her away from February 13 through to the 22nd - I don't think a plane would be good for her right now, so I'm going to drive.
I know she has classes on, so if her teachers could make sure she has plenty of work to do in the car, I'll make sure she does it. Let me know if there's any problems.
Pick the watering hole. I'm buying.


Do you have employees who serve food and drinks, open doors, carry luggage, clean hotel rooms, or provide other services?
If so, they're likely presented with tips from all your happy customers.
And as the employer of workers who receive tips as a significant portion of their income, you're allowed to pay tipped employees a lower direct wage – as long as the employee's tips combined with their direct wage equals at least the minimum wage in your state.
But what happens when your tipped employees work overtime?
What makes for a great smartphone app?
We think it's a quick and easy login.
That's why CheckWriters' new employee app – HRCheck Employee – saves your login information so you and your employees get convenient access to pay data and info on the go.
While the federal minimum wage rate will not change in 2017, there are a number of local minimum wage increases set to take effect for the new year. Some states, like Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, Maine, Arizona, Colorado, and Washington state will see significant increases to the minimum wage.
It's important for you to monitor minimum wage increases in your state. It's equally important for some employers – like those in the restaurant industry – to monitor the minimum wage increases for tipped employees.
Is the Affordable Care Act dead?
That's the question many business leaders have been asking themselves over the past few weeks.
Now that the dust has settled, let's take a look at the top items surrounding health care reform you should be aware of as the new administration takes shape.
Remember – nothing has changed yet! ACA deadlines still apply, and the Affordable Care Act is still very much the law of the land.
As promised, our Development Team will be rolling out the latest batch of revamped HRCheck screens on Monday, December 5.
Get ready for the clean and simplified design to appear across your HRCheck Company module.
As we mentioned when we released our new HRCheck Menu in October, the new design incorporates larger text, a streamlined look and feel, and the ability to utilize the entire window's real estate.
Even if you didn't have to comply with the ACA last year, there's one question you need to ask yourself every year.
Am I an Applicable Large Employer (ALE)?
Of course, the answer to this question depends on the size of your workforce in the previous year - which, for most businesses, varies! That's why you need to look at your workforce every year in order to determine whether you're an ALE. Because if the answer is yes, you'll need to comply with the law to avoid costly penalties and fines.
Soon, CheckWriters will unveil a new menu for HRCheck, our all-in-one payroll and HR software.
Everything you love about HRCheck is still easily accessible from one, central location. And now, a clean and simplified menu with larger text allows for easier navigation and a streamlined look and feel.
"One nice aspect of this new design is that the menu can be collapsed to allow more space for page content. This is especially useful when using our Free-Form Scheduling calendar and Timesheet Management pages that utilize the entire window's real estate," said Justin Friend, the lead designer on the project. This latest release from our Development Team comes following user input as well as consultation with HR professionals.
Each year, employers have two responsibilties when it comes to the Form W2: 1. provide each of your employees with their copy, and 2. provide a copy to the Social Security Administration (SSA).
But there's one big difference this year: The deadline for filing W2s with the SSA has been moved up - the deadline is now January 31, 2017. Previously, the deadline was March 31.
This means that you have less time to complete your review of wage, tax, and other applicable employee data and get relevant information to your payroll service provider.
We've instituted a hard deadline of Friday, December 30 for our clients to send that relevant information to us.
"We want our clients' tax information to be right the first time. That's why we created this checklist to help you ensure all relevant information gets to us here at CheckWriters by Friday, December 30," says Jill Grasso, Tax Manager at CheckWriters Payroll.
UPDATE: The new overtime rule was blocked by a federal judge on November 22, 2016. At this time, the overtime rule will not take effect as planned on December 1, but it could still be implemented later down the road. Employers may continue to follow the existing overtime regulations until a decision is reached.
Most employers in the Bay State already offer some form of paid time off or sick leave.
But on July 1, 2015, it became mandatory for all employers in Massachusetts to offer sick leave – regardless of size. And those employers with 11 or more employees must offer paid sick leave.
That's why our Development Team added a custom MA sick accrual history report to help our clients in that state better track the MA sick accrual. Several of our clients in Massachusetts requested a method to display the current year available balance that an employee has left to use.
The report runs an accrual history per check date for your MA sick time accrual code. The "Available to Use" column subtracts 40 from the used and displays the employee's available sick time.
