Business groups have said they are "devastated" after Parliament's latest rejection of the prime minister's EU withdrawal plan.
They urged MPs and the government to find a solution and stave off the "nightmare" of a no-deal Brexit.
"The UK's reputation, people's jobs and livelihoods are at stake," said CBI deputy director-general Josh Hardie.
And the Institute of Directors' Edwin Morgan said businesses were "sick" of being stuck in "spirit-sapping limbo".
Mr Morgan, the IoD's interim director-general, said: "The Brexit merry-go-round continues to spin, but the fun stopped a long time ago."
Stephen Phipson, chief executive of manufacturers' group Make UK, said: "Business is devastated that after two years of negotiations, months of increasing uncertainty and weeks of building frustration, after three attempts the withdrawal deal has not been agreed by the House of Commons.
"This now makes the nightmare of a no-deal scenario more likely than ever."
Helen Dickinson, chief executive of the British Retail Consortium, said businesses were "paying the price of the political uncertainty".
"There are still options open to MPs and they must get behind one of them," she added.
The Food and Drink Federation's chief executive, Ian Wright, said Parliament had to lead the country out of "our current shambles" by seeking a long extension to the UK's EU exit.
"Business - particularly food and drink - requires a stable operating environment and a clear path forward. On Monday, Parliament must create both," he said.
The ADS Group, which represents the aerospace and defence sectors, said that if there was not sufficient support for Theresa May's deal, the UK should "pause and reset the process".
ADS chief executive Paul Everitt said: "It is for government and Parliament to decide the way forward, but the voice of UK businesses, their employees, customers and suppliers must be given greater priority."
The national chairman of the Federation of Small Businesses, Mike Cherry, said: "Our small firms are sick and tired of politicians debating and dithering over Brexit. They are trying to get on with their jobs and it's time that politicians get on and do the same."


Almost two months ago, I came across a great gray owl that was surveying a bog from the top of a weathered fence post. I watched him for a few minutes as he looked around. Then the big, yellow eyes watched me for a few seconds before the wings stretched out and he flew up the hill towards me. These owls move quickly when they choose to so I was reacting not thinking when he took to the air. I was happy to have a few shots of that approach.
I thought he would fly by, but another post a couple of meters away from me was his destination. He looked around for half a minute, then stared at me while launching into the air again. This time he passed close by, crossed the path and then flew to a broken tree branch in the forest.
It was early evening and seemed to be supper time as he dove into the tall grass a couple of minutes later. That yielded a vole or some kind of field mouse. I couldn't tell as he swallowed it while on the ground and mostly out of sight.
Reappearing after a short while, he ascended to another branch briefly and then flew deeper into the forest.
On the Labour Day weekend, my son and I camped in Jasper. I hadn't been there in over a year and I was shocked to see a vast swath of burnt hillsides in Medicine Lake area of the Malign Valley. Somehow I completely missed the Excelsior Wildfire that burned over a 1000 hectares between July 9th and 22nd, 2015. We were looking for wildlife and enjoying the chaotic weather when the sun broke through to paint select trees amid the skeleton forest left behind as a stark reminder of the wildfire.
Sunday's sunrise shone through a narrow break on the horizon. A storm coming out of the mountains darkened most of the sky but with the light rode in from the east and painted the leading edges of the clouds. I was east of Bragg Creek along Highway 8 as the colour started to build so I pulled in behind a stand of trees that have great lines.
The branches silhouetted against the dawn gave me a lot to work with and here are three takes over a fifteen minute window before the colour drained out and the clouds stretched fully across the sky.

Q: Assistance/Review of my python 3 for a fictitious bus seating problem Current script as standing
totSeat = 100

print("Seats Remaining", totSeat, end = " ")
gSeat = int(input("How many in your group?"))
while gSeat != 100:
    totSeat -= gSeat
    if gSeat <= 100:
        print("Booked, Thank You")
        print("Seats Remaining", totSeat, end=" ")
        gSeat = int(input("How many in your group?"))
        if totSeat <= 1:
            print("Booked, Thank You\nSOLD OUT")
            break
    if gSeat < totSeat:
        print("Sorry, not enough seats left.")
        gSeat = int(input("How many in your group?"))

Basically
if 'totSeat' (total seats) is 0 i need it to break and say sold out. if 'gSeat' (guest seat) is above the 'totSeat' (including if use inputs 101+) i need to to display "Sorry, not enough seats."
As the scipt stands it kinda does this but gets a bit fucky and even dips into -1 seats available before breaking. I am extremely new to python as apologies for really rough scripting

A: Here is the script you may need,
totSeat = 100

print("Seats Remaining", totSeat, end = " ")

while totSeat > 0:
    gSeat = int(input("How many in your group?"))
    if gSeat > totSeat:
        print("Sorry, not enough seats left.")
    else:
        totSeat-=gSeat
        print("Booked, Thank You")
        print("Seats Remaining", totSeat, end=" ")
print("Sold out")

A: Try changing your code to:
totSeat = 100

print("Seats Remaining", totSeat)
gSeat = int(input("How many in your group?"))
while gSeat != 100:
    if gSeat <= totSeat:
        print("Booked, Thank You")
        totSeat -= gSeat
        if totSeat == 0:
            print('SOLD OUT')
            break
        print("Seats Remaining", totSeat, end=" ")
        gSeat = int(input("How many in your group?"))
    if gSeat > totSeat:
        print("Sorry, not enough seats left.")
        gSeat = int(input("How many in your group?"))

Example output:
Seats Remaining 100
How many in your group?56
Booked, Thank You
Seats Remaining 44 How many in your group?43
Booked, Thank You
Seats Remaining 1 How many in your group?34
Sorry, not enough seats left.
How many in your group?1
Booked, Thank You
SOLD OUT

Gaelic football is a sport played mainly in Northern and Southern Ireland. The organisation which runs the sport (like, for example, the Football Association in England) is called the GAA, which stands for the Gaelic Athletic Association. Football is not the only game managed by this group: hurling, camogie and handball being the others.
The sport itself is played with a ball about the same size as a soccer ball, but slightly harder. The pitch is approximately 130m long and 82m wide with two unique goals at each end. They are basically in the same shape as rugby posts, but the cross-bar is lower and has a net, like in soccer, below it. 45m from each goal there is a line (called quite simply the "45") and the centre line is positioned 65m from the posts.
The start and the various restarts
The game starts off with a "throw-up". This is where the referee throws the ball straight up into the air between two players from the two sides, rather like basketball. When the ball leaves the field of play at the side, the team who did not touch it last restart the match by fisting the ball back into play. If a defending team hits the ball out, or touches it last before it leaves the field of play, a free kick is awarded to the attacking team, which they take from the '45'.
There are two ways to pass the ball in Gaelic football: kicking and fisting. Kicking is obviously using the foot to pass the ball to another member of your team. The definition of fisting is less blatant: it is not punching the ball, but using the ball of the palm to pass.
One cannot run with the ball for more than five steps, so to go on an individual attack there are two skills to use: soloing, which is dropping the ball onto the foot and then kicking it back into the hands, and bouncing, which is obviously bouncing it off the ground back into one's hands. There are limitations to the latter, however: it is illegal to bounce it twice in succession. This rule does not apply to the use of the solo.
Scoring points
It is possible to score points in two ways in Gaelic football. The first way is by kicking or fisting the ball over the bar and through the goalposts: this is awarded by one point. The other is by kicking or fisting the ball into the net under the crossbar and between the posts: this merits three points.
There are 15 players on each team, including the goalkeeper.
The players wear their team colours and all have a number on the back of their jersey.
The officials
There are seven officials in the game: one referee, two linesmen and four umpires (two at each set of goalposts). The latter are there to determine whether a point has been scored and whether the ball has crossed the goal-line for a goal kick. They raise a white flag for a point and a green flag for a goal.
The structure of the sport and the competitions
The GAA has a base in almost every small town and village in Ireland because of the sport's popularity throughout the country. Consequently, each village (and each school for that matter) has its own team, which competes in regional and county competitions. There is also a county team (there are 32 counties in Ireland) which competes in the provincial tournament (there are four provinces: Leinster, Munster, Ulster and Connaught). Once progressing through this stage the county teams compete in the All-Ireland Championship in an effort to be crowned the best team in the country. It is this competition which gets the most coverage and as a consequence the national stadium, Croke Park, used for the All-Ireland final, has a capacity of over 70,000 people.
The history of the game
Gaelic football goes back further than both soccer and rugby, and is probably the basis for Australian Rules Football because there were an awful lot of Irish immigrants and convicts who travelled to Australia. In fact, the origins of the Gaelic games pre-date recorded history.

CMS Adds Total Hip to ASC Covered List, Eliminates Inpatient Only List
by Carolyn LaWell on December 15, 2020
In finalizing its payment rules for 2021, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) made multiple announcements that could impact where orthopedic care is delivered.
For 2021, CMS added total hip replacement to the list of procedures covered by ASCs—a decision that precedes total knee replacement. Additionally, the agency said it would eliminate the Inpatient Only (IPO) List over three years, starting with 266 musculoskeletal procedures in 2021. The latter decision affects procedures across orthopedics – joint replacement, spine, trauma – allowing them to be eligible to be paid by Medicare in the hospital outpatient setting or hospital inpatient setting, whichever is determined the most appropriate by the physician.
CMS noted that these decisions reduce provider burden so that hospitals and ASCs can operate with increased flexibility, and they provide physicians and patients greater decision-making power.
The American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) called the elimination of the IPO List "drastic" when CMS released the initial proposal. AAOS noted safety concerns, increased out-of-pocket costs and potential access to care issues for patients, and said the appropriate care settings should be determined through the lens of patient safety and peer-reviewed evidence.
Private payors have covered orthopedic procedures in outpatient settings and even incentivized surgeons for doing so. Recent estimates we published from Sg2 showed total hip and knee procedures and spinal fusion procedures increasing in the outpatient hospital and ASC settings by 31% from 2019 to 2029. At the same time, total hip and knee procedures will decrease in the hospital inpatient setting by -11% and spinal fusions will reduce by -17%.
Orthopedic device companies ultimately see the shift to outpatient procedures as an opportunity. Joint replacement and spine companies are bolstering programs and technologies to capitalize on the change.
For 2021, CMS added total hip replacement to the list of procedures covered by ASCs—a decision that precedes total knee replacement. Additionally, the agency said it...

In the Loop: Hispanics are hanging tough with Obama
By Al Kamen
Al Kamen
Bio Follow
President Obama's national poll numbers have dropped since his dismal performance — and Mitt Romney's bravura showing — in their first debate last week.
But going into the Oct. 3 debate, Obama's support among Latino voters — a critical segment in several swing states — showed a commanding 3-1 edge over the Republican presidential nominee, according to a Pew Hispanic Center poll released Thursday.
It's unlikely that the debate has eroded that advantage.
"Support for the president has remained strong throughout" the 2012 campaign, said Mark Hugo Lopez, the center's associate director, and that support hasn't budged much in the last year.
The poll of 903 registered voters, conducted from Sept. 7 to Oct. 4, has Obama leading Romney 69 to 21 percent. Depending on how the remaining 9 percent — who were undecided or refused to respond — break, Obama's Latino vote percentage could reach the mid-70s — substantially higher than his 67 percent Latino support in the 2008 election.
Some 23.7 million Hispanics are eligible to vote, the survey noted, an increase of more than 4 million in the past four years, making them 11 percent of the total eligible electorate.
But Latino turnout at the polls generally lags that of other groups, the report said, and only 77 percent said they were "absolutely certain" to vote this time, compared with 89 percent of all registered voters in a separate Pew Research Center nationwide survey taken at the same time.
As a result, there may be "more Latino votes in this election," Lopez said, but their overall percentage of the electorate may not increase substantially.
Obama leads 72 to 22 percent among Latino registered voters who say they are "absolutely certain" to vote.
The Pew poll also found that:
●Despite the controversy over new photo ID laws in 11 states, some 95 percent of Latino registered voters in those states said they were confident they had the identification they needed to vote. The poll found 71 percent of Latinos favor photo ID laws, compared with 77 percent of the general public.
●Obama's "Dream Act" executive order, which allows Hispanics who came here as children to remain in the country, was supported by 86 percent of Latino registered voters, and 26 percent of Latino adults say they know someone who has applied to stay under the new program.
●Half or more of Latino registered voters said education (55 percent), jobs and the economy (54 percent) and health care (50 percent) were "extremely important," while one-third or more of those voters ranked the deficit (36 percent) immigration (34 percent) and taxes (33 percent) as extremely important. (Excluding Cubans, who can easily obtain residency status, and Puerto Ricans, who are citizens, the percentage that considers immigration "extremely important" rises to 37 percent.)
Pro-forma explanation
Let's put aside for a moment the scandal swirling around Rep. Scott DesJarlais and focus on something far wonkier. Yes, we know the controversy in which the Tennessee Republican is embroiled involves the salacious words "mistress" and "abortion," making it hard to resist, but we had best clear up a curious parliamentary matter first.
We noticed that DesJarlais's campaign spokesman had told a hometown paper last month that he would not be able to debate his Democratic challenger on Oct. 11 because duty had called him to Washington on that date.
According to the Daily News Journal of Murfreesboro, Tenn.: "He . . . will be presiding over a pro-forma session of Congress Oct. 11 in Washington, D.C. . . . 'As a result, we will not be attending these [debate] events,' DesJarlais campaign manager Brandon Lewis said."
First of all, just about anyone with a passing knowledge of House procedure knows that presiding over a pro-forma session isn't exactly a special-ops mission. "It's the definition of perfunctory," one former leadership aide explained to the Loop.
Often, it's handled by a local lawmaker, someone whose commute from the Maryland or Virginia 'burbs isn't too taxing — or by a member planning to be in town on other business. They'll cruise in, bang the gavel, listen to the chaplain's prayer, say the pledge, then close the session a scant few moments later. DesJarlais did the honors last Friday, when he brushed off two Democrats' efforts to speak.
Not only could anyone wield the gavel, it turns out that there was no pro-forma session Thursday, after all. The next one, we're told, will be on Friday.
DesJarlais's congressional spokesman now says the big draw to Washington was really the hearing yesterday by the House Oversight and Investigations committee on the Libya bombings, not the gavel duty.
DesJarlais only volunteered to preside, spokesman Robert Jameson said, knowing that he would be in town for the hearing. The hearing hadn't been scheduled when his campaign cited the trip to Washington, though the spokesman said he knew it was "in the pike."
And now he plans to preside over the Friday session instead, Jameson says.
A grateful nation awaits.

Recent advances in data science applications have led to groundbreaking benefits – from health sciences, where social network analytics have enabled the tracking of epidemics; to financial systems, where guidance of investment decisions are based on analysis of large volumes of data; to speech recognition applications and more. These achievements only hint at what is possible—the full impact of data science is yet to be realized. Data science is inherently multidisciplinary. It builds on a core set of technologies in close interaction with application domains (e.g., finance, health, environment), that leverage this core to solve their most pressing problems. The ability to extract insights from the massive expansion of data depends on a comprehensive, systematic and end-to-end study of the data science lifecycle. Data science research builds on a core set of technologies associated with stages in this lifecycle. Issues of data security and privacy, as well as the impact of data science on society and on policy, intersect with each of these stages.
Although there is existing research on many of these topics, an holistic approach is required focusing on four data science challenges: (1) the need to develop core technologies in each stage of the data lifecycle; (2) the gap in understanding and leveraging the interconnections among these stages; (3) cross-cutting themes of security, privacy, ethics, policy and social impact; (4) synergy with applications.
The Canadian Workshop on Data Science (CWDS) is organized to focus on these issues by bringing together researchers, industries, public and not-for-profit organizations with interests in data science to formulate a broad plan for research and engagement. The outcome of the workshop will be a fuller understanding of the research issues and a plan for better engagement among stakeholders.
Two plenary keynote addresses from experienced leaders of similar initiatives.
Break-out sessions will focus on the fundamental core technologies as well as interactions among them, with representatives of all stakeholder groups in each session.
A panel discussion focussed on user communities, both those generating large volumes of data and those using large volumes of data for decision making, to highlight their data science needs and stress points.

Arrow Minerals Ltd (ASX:AMD) is a mineral exploration company targeting gold, lithium, and nickel.
Arrow Minerals has a 100% interest in 1,150km2 of exploration licences at the Strickland Gold Project, located 100km west of Menzies and 180km north of Southern Cross in the Eastern Goldfields. The Strickland Gold Project covers over 100 strike kilometres of greenstone belts and straddles the Evanston and Yuinmery Shear Zones. The Menzies and Southern Cross Regions contain over 20 million ounces of known gold endowment.
Arrow Minerals controls over 1,100km2 of exploration licences in the Gascoyne Region of Western Australia, with a 100% interest in five tenements covering 890km2 and one tenement (E09/1618) subject to an earn-in joint venture (Mortimer Hills JV). The Project is being explored for lithium-caesium-tantalum (LCT) pegmatites. In June 2016, Arrow Minerals completed a maiden fieldwork programme, aimed at assessing the fertility of intrusive granitic suites within the Project area to host LCT deposits. Three granite suites were extensively rock chipped and assayed, with the Thirty Three Supersuite demonstrating fertile fractionation trends (Mg/Li and Nb/Ta ratios). Arrow Minerals has secured the majority of the "target zone" which is within 10km of the Thirty Three Supersuite. The Project has a well-developed drainage network suitable to first pass surface geochemical exploration. As a result, the Company undertook a project-wide stream sediment sampling programme with the aim of identifying prospects with LCT pathfinder anomalism.
Arrow Minerals has a 100% interest in 615km2 of exploration licences in the Pilbara Region of Western Australia. The tenements are prospective for conglomerate (Witwatersrand-style) and basement (orogenic) gold mineralisation.

Thomas Hunt Morgan's Definition of Regeneration: Morphallaxis and Epimorphosis
For Thomas Hunt Morgan clarity was of utmost importance. He was therefore frustrated with the many disparate, disconnected terms that were used to refer to similar, if not the same, regenerative processes within organisms. When Morgan wrote Regeneration in 1901 there had been many different terms developed and adopted by various investigators to describe their observations. As a result there were many inconsistencies making it difficult to discuss results comparatively and also making it more challenging to generalize. Defining terms was a priority for Morgan.
The Role of the Notch Signaling Pathway in Myogenesis
Among other functions, the Notch signaling pathway forestalls the process of myogenesis in animals. The Notch signaling pathway is a pathway in animals by which two adjacent cells within an organism use a protein named Notch to mechanically interact with each other. Myogenesis is the formation of muscle that occurs throughout an animal's development, from embryo to the end of life. The cellular precursors of skeletal muscle originate in somites that form along the dorsal side of the organism.

The Y-Chromosome in Animals
The Y-chromosome is one of a pair of chromosomes that determine the genetic sex of individuals in mammals, some insects, and some plants. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the development of new microscopic and molecular techniques, including DNA sequencing, enabled scientists to confirm the hypothesis that chromosomes determine the sex of developing organisms. In an adult organism, the genes on the Y-chromosome help produce the male gamete, the sperm cell. Beginning in the 1980s, many studies of human populations used the Y-chromosome gene sequences to trace paternal lineages.

The Source-Sink Model
The source-sink model, first proposed by biologist Francis Crick in 1970, is a theoretical system for how morphogens distribute themselves across small fields of early embryonic cells. A morphogen is a substance that determines the fate and phenotype of a group of cells through a concentration gradient of itself across that group. Crick's theory has been experimentally confirmed with several morphogens, most notably with the protein bicoid , the first discovered morphogen. The model provides a theoretical structure for the understanding of some features of early embryonic development.
The Role of the Notch signaling pathway in Somitogenesis
Among other functions, the Notch signaling pathway contributes to the development of somites in animals. It involves a cell signaling mechanism with a wide range of functions, including cellular differentiation, and the formation of the embryonic structures (embryogenesis). All multicellular animals use Notch signaling, which is involved in the development, maintenance, and regeneration of a range of tissues. The Notch signaling pathways spans two cells, and consists of receptor proteins, which cross one cell's membrane and interacts with proteins on adjacent cells, called ligands.
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer in Mammals (1938-2013)
In the second half of the
twentieth century, scientists learned how to clone organisms in some
species of mammals. Scientists have applied somatic cell nuclear transfer to clone human and
mammalian embryos as a means to produce stem cells for laboratory
and medical use. Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is a technology applied in cloning, stem cell
research and regenerative medicine. Somatic cells are cells that
have gone through the differentiation process and are not germ
cells. Somatic cells donate their nuclei, which scientists

Germ Layers
A germ layer is a group of cells in an embryo that interact with each other as the embryo develops and contribute to the formation of all organs and tissues. All animals, except perhaps sponges, form two or three germ layers. The germ layers develop early in embryonic life, through the process of gastrulation. During gastrulation, a hollow cluster of cells called a blastula reorganizes into two primary germ layers: an inner layer, called endoderm, and an outer layer, called ectoderm.
The Hedgehog Signaling Pathway in Vertebrates
The hedgehog signaling pathway is a mechanism that regulates cell growth and differentiation during embryonic development, called embryogenesis, in animals. The hedgehog signaling pathway works both between cells and within individual cells.
Paternal Sperm Telomere Elongation and Its Impact on Offspring Fitness
Telomeres are structures at the ends of DNA strands that get longer in the DNA of sperm cells as males age. That phenomenon is different for most other types of cells, for which telomeres get shorter as organisms age. In 1992, scientists showed that telomere length (TL) in sperm increases with age in contrast to most cell of most other types. Telomeres are the protective caps at the end of DNA strands that preserve chromosomal integrity and contribute to DNA length and stability.
Karl Ernst von Baer's Laws of Embryology
In 1828, while working at the University of Konigsberg in Konigsberg, Germany Karl Ernst von Baer proposed four laws of animal development, which came to be called von Baer's laws of embryology. With these laws, von Baer described the development (ontogeny) of animal embryos while also critiquing popular theories of animal development at the time.
Hermaphrodites and the Medical Invention of Sex (1998), by Alice Domurat Dreger
Hermaphrodites and the Medical Invention of Sex, by historian of science Alice Domurat Dreger, was published in 1998 by Harvard University Press. In the book, Dreger describes how many doctors and scientists treated human hermaphrodites from the late nineteenth century to the early twentieth century. She states that during this time period, many physicians and scientists struggled to determine the nature sex, and to support a classification of sex as male or female, many physicians and scientists resorted to viewing a person's gonads for identification of his or her sex.

Frederik Ruysch, working in the Netherlands, introduced the term epithelia in the third volume of his Thesaurus Anatomicus in 1703. Ruysch created the term from the Greek epi, which means on top of, and thele, which means nipple, to describe the type of tissue he found when dissecting the lip of a cadaver. In the mid nineteenth century, anatomist Albrecht von Haller adopted the word epithelium, designating Ruysch's original terminology as the plural version. In modern science, epithelium is a type of animal tissue in which cells are packed into neatly arranged sheets.
Neurocristopathies
Neurocristopathies are a class of pathologies in vertebrates,
including humans, that result from abnormal expression, migration,
differentiation, or death of neural crest cells (NCCs) during embryonic development. NCCs are cells
derived from the embryonic cellular structure called the neural crest.
Abnormal NCCs can cause a neurocristopathy by chemically affecting the
development of the non-NCC tissues around them. They can also affect the
development of NCC tissues, causing defective migration or
"Some of the Uses of Electricity in Gynecology," (1901) by William Henry Walling
In 1901, physician William Henry Walling published the article, Some of the Uses of Electricity in Gynecology, in the January issue of the American Gynecological and Obstetrical Journal. Walling was a practicing gynecologist who studied electro-therapeutics, or the use of electricity in medicine for the treatment of disease, which was an emerging topic during the late 1800s. Walling stated that proper administration of electrical current to a woman's vagina, uterus, bladder, or rectum could be therapeutic for gynecological diseases.

You are here: Home / Employee Relations / Could you be liable for workplace violence? Ontario's OHSA says so
By Clear Path Employer Services | 4 Minutes Read June 8, 2012
Could you be liable for workplace violence? Ontario's OHSA says so
Imagine a situation where your employee is seriously injured by an outside party … A subcontractor? An employee's spouse? Their friend? Your supplier?
Many questions might initially pop into your head. How did it happen? What do I do? And given Ontario's Occupational Health and Safety Act workplace violence provisions (formerly Bill 168), what does this mean for employer liability?
The Occupational Health and Safety Act defines "workplace violence" as:
The exercise of physical force by a person against a worker, in a workplace, that causes or could cause physical injury to the worker
An attempt to exercise physical force against a worker, in a workplace, that could cause physical injury to the worker
A statement or behaviour that it is reasonable for a worker to interpret as a threat to exercise physical force against the worker, in a workplace, that could cause physical injury to the worker
"Workplace harassment" is defined in the law as "engaging in a course of vexatious comment or conduct against a worker in a workplace that is known or ought reasonably to be known to be unwelcome."
An employer or supervisor is required to take all the necessary steps to limit the chances of workplace violence and harassment from happening!
There haven't been any cases to flow through the courts yet to help us determine all the prudent steps to take when violence or harassment occur in the workplace. I had the opportunity to attend the mock trial at the Partners in Prevention Convention this past month and I would like to share the hypothetical, yet very realistic, case that was examined. The following is a summary of the events that came to pass.
The employer is Billy Bonka Confectioners Inc., a candy company located in Carmel, Ontario, that offers a wide variety of sweets and chocolate. David is Billy Bonka's shipper/receiver who is responsible for taking care of the delivery of supplies. Billy Bonka orders supplies from Taste-piraton, which delivers the liquid sugar Billy Bonka needs to produce their sweets. As Billy Bonka's storage warehouse fills up, the surplus in orders will be delivered to an outside warehouse about 150 feet from the main factory. After a delivery problem with Taste-piration's tanker trucks, they started storing any excessive amount of liquid sugar to Billy Bonka in this storage facility. As a result, David, shipper/receiver for Billy Bonka, had to make frequent trips from the factory to the outside warehouse to receive Taste-piration's deliveries. David maintains contact with Taste-piration's truck driver to schedule the delivery time needed to make the necessary exchanges.
The problem starts when the truck driver begins to deviate from their scheduled delivery times. On the day of the incident, after arriving an hour late to their planned delivery time, David complained to the truck driver about his lack of timeliness. As a result, the truck driver grabbed David, threw several blows to his head and then drove off. David managed to travel back to the factory when his supervisor, Brian Mercer, called 911 for the ambulance and the police.
Let's take a look at the questions that should be asked.
Taken directly from the summary; there was an argument between David and the truck driver which led to the physical altercation.
What liability will Billy Bonka have in this scenario?
In the mock trial, the company was charged with three offences including failing to ensure immediate assistance, failing to implement a workplace harassment program and failing to provide information to a worker. The operations manager was charged with two offences.
Is there liability on the part of Billy Bonka or their employee?
The truck driver DID deviate from the arranged delivery time, physically grabbed David and then assaulted him. Many would blame the Taste-piration's truck driver, but now with violence and harassment prevention provisions in the OHSA, it's not that easy.
Now, let me reveal some more details about this case
In the court proceedings, we learn that Taste-piration's driver had been sending emails to David that were of a belligerent and derogatory nature. Also, David had mentioned to the operations manager that he had received emails but the manager did not ask to see them nor did he attempt to deal with them in any way.
Billy Bonka's operations manager had been advised by Taste-piration that the truck driver had a prior criminal conviction for assault for an attack on another employee at the company holiday party. Both individuals had been drinking at the time. The operations manager, however, did not advise David about these circumstances. Also, the main way for Billy Bonka employees to summon assistance from the storage facility was via their cellphones. As David lifted himself up after the attack, he grabbed his cellphone to call the factory for help, but couldn't receive a signal.
As we mentioned, three charges were laid on the employer and two on the operations manager. What would you do if you are the human resources manager or the company facing these charges with potential monetary penalties and potential jail time?
We will provide the verdict and details of the proceedings of the case in a future blog post, but for now, do you think this company and their operations manager are liable?

Kellie Auld says
Well, I think as you demonstrated in revealing more information about the case, there is always more to a story once we start to uncover the facts.
If the company knew about abusive emails and did nothing about it, even though the employee wanted something done (as I would suggest was the case since he brought them to the employer) then, yes; they need to be held responsible for that.
The record for assault? Not so clear. We have privacy laws and I am not so sure that Billy Bonka would be at liberty to discuss that with David. Having said that, if Billy Bonka believed the information about the assault record to be reliable, then yes, they should probably have taken the emails more seriously and prepared David with emergency protocols.
While it may seem unreasonable on its surface, there were definitely measures that could have been put into place to avoid or at least mitigate this situation. Whether an employer agrees or disagrees with the OHS legislation, it is unfortunately a reality of having a business today. The only way the message will be taken seriously for employers, is if situations like this one come to light.


Our first session was an Aquaculture Workshop designed to outline zonal management as a critical part of achieving sustainable aquaculture. We were introduced to SFP's approach to aquaculture and discussed how Aquaculture Improvement Projects are enhanced and supported by a zonal management approach.
Zonal management is an important concept. It's easy to see that even if a handful of farms in a region have been certified as sustainable, they are possibly sharing a water body with other users who may not be following best practices. A disease outbreak can move quickly through farms regardless of how careful a farmer has been. The aquatic version of "one bad apple spoils the bunch".
We heard from several people about how coordination between farms can help everyone find success. On the flip side, we've seen examples of how even the best run farms can be impacted by quickly spreading diseases. The 2007 ISA outbreak in Chile helped catalyze the idea that in many cases farms and farmers need to work together for the good of the industry.
If you have any questions about Inland's approach to sourcing farmed seafood, please let us know. We look forward to continuing to engage with SFP and the farmers we work with.
Jeremy Rude from FishChoice walked us through the FisheryProgress.org website and reviewed the work they have been doing. If you haven't spent any time on this comprehensive a easy-to-use website, find some time to explore. Starting with 3 Fishery Improvement Projects back in 2006 to over 100 last year (and growing), FisheryProject.org is the source that industry turns to for recognizing the work that FIP's are achieving around the world.
Inland is currently a member of two supplier roundtables – both of which met this week in Miami.
Inland is a member of this SR, and we're very interested in having a positive impact of several species important to our customers. Mexican snapper is on the top of the list, so we were happy to learn more about a new FIP focusing on Gulf Snapper. We'll update you as more information on this project becomes available.
Short presentations from several groups doing great work for Mexico fisheries helped offer a comprehensive view of the work that is happening (and needs to happen) in Mexico.
That's quite the acronym! Our final assignment of the day was a session of the Eastern Pacific Ocean Large Pelagic Seafood Roundtable which focused on current and developing mahi improvement efforts in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. Mahi is an important inventory for us, and we're excited to engage more with fishery improvement efforts happening in this area. Multiple fishery improvement projects focusing on Peru and Ecuador and making progress. Peru and Ecuador are two of the top five mahi producing countries.
According to SFP metrics 59% of global mahi stocks are sustainable or improving. We look forward to actively supporting progress towards a target of 75% sustainable (…next stop – 100%).
It was an enlightening and encouraging kick off to the Forum. We'll post a recap from Day 2 shortly!


Well another FB group I left (The Panzer Page, TPP for short). The group may be a bit more advanced than the "Mediocre modeler" group but with FB you still get a mix of random people there. The latest thread that caused my self-ejection is this discussion where a person posted some PE handles for German WW2 vehicles claiming that it looks as good as a full PE clasp. Really? It is true that at some angles and some zoom levels the PE handle enhances details a lot, and I am currently doing it myself on my Panther D build. But to make the claim that it looks as good is dumb and don't really understand contemporary modeling. Once you zoom into the appropriate level the gig is up and you can immediately see the flaws. Then someone has the gall to call this an "opinion", which it certainly isn't.
I could do a side by side and show what I'm talking about in retrospect, but I think this is a "last straw" situation where I realize I should not have wasted so much time on FB in the first place, and my body is reacting to my decadence by choosing self-ejection as an immediate reaction. This can only be good for saving my time and my health (eyes).
This is why despite the fact that the group Scale Model Critique Group is full of opinionated members and really not people I want to hang out with, I stayed on. I have been gaining some valuable insights and new skills from it as the modelers there aim for higher level of finishes and understand what it means to achieve mastery of modeling. One of the admins Will Pattison whose Youtube channel is where I first learned about SMCG, is big on calling a spade a spade and I subscribe to that philosophy. This is exactly the tool clasp situation in this post where you can make choices to get the build you want, no problems with that but let's not pretend that there are no tradeoffs. There are reasons for people to go to length to achieve perfection, and to suggest those efforts are not worth it (rather than not worth it for yourself) is disrespectful. Now maybe I'm getting hung up on semantics and probably shouldn't bother to educate those people on TPP, but perhaps unconsciously I was looking for a reason to quit the group.
Anyway I'm actually a bit elated that I'm free of another high volume group. Soon I will be able to kick my FB habit and be functional again. We'll see. Just writing this down so that I can track my FB rehab and making sure I won't rejoin the TPP.

Smoke production from fires is a serious land management consideration because it can affect public and firefighter health, impair visibility for road and air traffic, damage property, become a "nuisance," and contribute to air pollution in populated areas that are regulated by EPA air quality standards. However, a very limited amount of research has been conducted specific to public perceptions and tolerance of smoke from wildland fires. Recently the fire management community has called for research to improve the scientific understanding of what factors influence public tolerance of smoke from wildland fires, how people value their personal health and the health of their surrounding ecosystems, especially in circumstances where fire, climate change and increasing populations are interconnecting. This page is dedicated to providing information about current Joint Fire Science Program research specific to public perceptions and tolerance of smoke from wildland fires.
Note: In 2017 the Wildland Fire Leadership Council released the findings from their Wildland Fire Smoke Management and Air Quality Research Gap Forum.

Q: Multiplying determinants
Let $A, B$ be two matrices. Let $\det(A)=4$, $\det(B)=2/3$. Find $\det(AB^{-1})$.

I already found that $\det(B^{-1})= 3/2$ as a determinant to the power of $-1$ equals $1$ over the determinant. I was just using one of the theorems in my text book that stated that
$$\det(B^{-1}) = \frac{1}{\det(B)}$$

A: it is known that $\det(XY) = \det(X)\dot\det(Y)$ and $\det(X^{-1}) = \frac{1}{\det(X)}$.
So, your question is $\det(AB^{-1}) = \frac{\det(A)}{\det(B)}=6$


Veteran Italian midfielder Claudio Marchisio has announced he's leaving Serie A champions Juventus by mutual consent after 25 years at the club.
The 32-year-old who was born and raised in Turin, made his professional debut in Serie B in 2006 and went on to play 389 times for Juventus.
Following the confirmation of his departure, Marchisio posted an emotional goodbye to social media, alongside a picture of him playing as a child in Juventus kit.
He wrote: 'I can't stop looking at this photograph and these stripes on which I wrote my life as a man and a footballer.
'Having had the opportunity to accompany him on this path, to discover a homegrown champion, day by day, was quite simply a privilege and an honour,' Juve said in a statement.
Marchisio who made a total of 389 appearances in all competitions, scoring 37 goals, and won seven Serie A titles as well as four Coppa Italias, capped 55 times for Italy.

One of my favourite places to have coffee is a nearby nursery and homewares establishment. Their cafe overlooks a refreshing fountain and masses of plants, and has a restorative vibe about it. And aside from having plants, it looks nothing like this one!
But this one, though it no longer exists, was very gorgeous in its day, and transported you to Provence or Tuscany when you walked through its stone doorway. Not literally, of course... otherwise I'm guessing the shop would still be in business.
Just like the nursery up the road, such places make me long to potter with potting and attempt an Edward Scissorhands out in the garden. But I'm worried my hair may start to look like his. And black hair just doesn't suit me.
Wow, what a delightful drawing! I'd love to pop into this place to be transported to Provence or Tuscany. Bummer the place is closed. As far as your desire to become an exotic shrubbery trimmer, just remember that Shell Scissorhands is awfully difficult to say!
A coffee shop with plants and transporting ability would be pretty much perfect. The one in your illustration looks quite perfect too!
We won't discuss how often I have watched A Good Year.
What a lovely looking shop. I hope something equally delightful has replaced it. Perhaps a private residence? I wouldn't mind living there.
LOL, Katie! How about Edward Shelleyhands?
Amy ~ it would certainly give them a market edge!
Cali ~ it was a florist the last time I looked ~ but if the council would allow, it would make a lovely little studio apartment!
A transporting garden centre: I like it a lot. I think you should get into face-cream advertising. If your droll approach didn't sell more than the traditional lies, the human race deserves no better.
Mise ~ lies? So the face cream I just bought won't rescue my cat from a tree?
We had a place like that in Pasadena that tried to make a go of things. Often I'd be the only person in there; why was that.
But thank you for reminding me.
Hi, Chandrika! Thanks so much for dropping in ~ I'm glad you found my illustrations soothing.
Virginia ~ aah, wouldn't that be wonderful!!
Hiker ~ the plant and homewares prices are crazy, but there's a caffeine plus atmosphere = impulse buying factor at work, I'm guessing!
Shell, may be not the black hair, but how about the Edward Shelleyhands makeup?
Hiker, where was the place? Maybe it was before my time. Ben at the Gallery said I can bring my coffee there. Soon as it warms up I'm going to do that. Coffee and laptop.
we could have a bloggers gathering there some day perhaps?
Beautiful piece you have created Miss Sherree.
Love your Demitasse of Daisies too!
Lily ~ that would be fun ~ I think we'd be quite a handful, somehow!
I just love this and would be so thrilled if I could be transported to Tuscany where I've never been !
It's not worth living so close, compared to most of you !!!
Marylène ~ I'm sure you'd adore Tuscany!
Let's not forget the beautiful skyline behind it, which adds another level of interest to the picture.
How perfectly charming! You must miss this place. When the genie pops up and grants me 3 wishes, one of them might have to be teleportation—but not just for me because I'd want my family and friends to be able to come along. Shall I put you on the list (in case that genie shows up any time soon)?
Margaret ~ there are lots of office buildings around it ~ this little pocket near the bottom of the street is a little haven.
Alexa ~ absolutely, please do! Teleportation can't come soon enough for me.
My hair looks like Edward Scissorhands' on a daily basis even though I do no gardening whatsoever. Maybe I need scissorhands so I can give it a neat cut.
I think that coffee shops inside garden centres must be a Qld thing. My mother once took me to one at Buderim Mountain and it was lovely. I think that your climate helps a bit. Not much fun sitting in the cold and damp of a winter's day in our local garden centre!!
Your sketch is beautiful, Shell.
PCN ~ those lightning and hail storms you were talking about might be turning a few people over there into Edward Scissorhands lookalikes. Maybe they should go to Vegas.
Thanks, MmeB! I really thought the nursery cafes would be quite common by now, so it's been interesting to hear that they aren't.

War-era planes spark memories
By KEN HAGGERTY Correspondent
A low, pulsating war-time beat rattled windows throughout Venice on Friday as a trio of vintage World War II-era aircraft flew low over the city, enroute to Venice Municipal Airport as part of the annual Wings of Freedom Tour.
Arriving from Fort Myers' Page Airfield, the B-17 Flying Fortress and B-24 Liberator bombers, alongside a P-51C Mustang, taxied to a halt before an enthusiastic crowd of well-wishers for the start of the four-day exhibition.
As part of the Massachusetts-based Collings Foundation, the tour visits more than 100 U.S. cities throughout the year, offering 3 million visitors the opportunity to learn about the aircraft's history and heritage, either from first-hand accounts from veterans who attend the events, or by simply marveling at the bravery of those who flew from air bases in Europe or the Pacific islands.
"Venice has been a popular part of the tour for the past 15 years," the Collings Foundation's Hunter Chaney said. "There are so many vets in the city who often take the time to relive their memories, both painful and proud, to a younger, eager audience."
The experience is tangible, he said, giving everyone a chance to interact with history.
"Everyone can walk through both bombers and imagine what the airmen experienced trying to survive against incredible odds," Chaney said. "It's vital to remember the sacrifices those young men made and the values the veterans lived by to protect our freedom."
Edward Rossi, a nose gunner on B-24s during the war, admitted the weekend was an an emotional time for those who flew during the war.
"After my basic training was finished and I was about to fly out to the Pacific, a relative gave me a five-year diary as a present," Rossi said. "Every day, throughout the war, I wrote my thoughts and feelings down. I still have it."
The diary eventually proved a burden for Rossi, his wife, Jean, explained.
"He put the diary away when the war ended and didn't look at it again until 1995," she said. "The memories were too painful for him. But over time, he wanted to share his experiences. The ghosts were gone."
Those memories are fading fast.
For the tour's flight coordinator, Gene Norman, veterans such as Rossi provide a vital link to the past.
"We're losing so many World War II veterans every day," he said. "I remember when I was young, my grandfather would tell me about talking to Civil War vets. What he told me about those days was fascinating to me. Now, I have the same chance. I just want to talk to as many of the vets as I can."

Checking Into Signature's Grand Hotel Takes Some Effort
The actors do an admirable job executing a musical with no discernible plot.
by Rebecca J. Ritzel April 18th, 2019 August 28th, 2020
Credit: C. Stanley Photography
"Good evening. Grand Hotel. How can I help you?"
"I'm a patron seated in Row G, and I was wondering, can I please get an intermission?"
"No, I'm so sorry ma'am. There's no intermission here at the Grand Hotel. Our show is one hour and 50 minutes long, and you'll just have to–"
[CLICK]
Intermission is so passé that the team behind Signature Theatre's stylish revival of a 11-time Tony-nominated Broadway musical has eliminated the restroom break. 90-minute plays have been en vogue for some time, but Grand Hotel takes the keep-butts-in-seats trend to another level. At the performance I attended, multiple patrons abandoned the show for the restroom, the bar, or both. (One guy returned carrying a tray of drinks; another lady hissed loudly that she really had to go.)
Sitting through a 1 hour, 50 minute show after dinner can be a challenge. And intermission serves other purposes besides a potty break: It provides audiences with 15 minutes of suspense, during which theaters can sell drinks.
By running Grand Hotel without an intermission, director Eric Schaeffer not only eliminated a revenue stream, he cut significant plot markers in a show that lacks a strong storyline. He and music director Jon Kalbfleisch also ratchet up the tempos and hurry from song to song with nary a break between numbers. The goal must be to keep the show moving, reflecting the bustling lobby where the action of Grand Hotel occurs. But these characters need time to drop their bags for a minute, to linger like plume of smoke drifting slowly from the tip of a flapper's long cigarette.
Grand Hotel is a musical about the pursuit of elegance, set in swanky Berlin at the peak of inter-war prosperity. Luther David, Robert Wright, and George Forrest based their 1989 show on a 1929 Viennese novel that also inspired a 1932 Best Picture winner. On opening night, John Barrymore, Joan Crawford, and Greta Garbo stepped out of limousines wearing furs and signed a guest book outside's Grauman's Chinese Theatre, where MGM recreated the hotel's front desk for newsreel cameras and adoring crowds.
At Signature, the desk is front and center in a black box theater, flanked on either side by winding staircases. Some action takes place in rooms, but theatergoers are asked to imagine the changes of locale, with a bit of help from a bar that drops from the rafters, and a scullery that pushes forward down one aisle.
All the mezzanine railings are decked out in faux-art deco ironwork and sconces. Paul Tate DePoo III designed the stunning set, although the lighting, by Colin K. Bills, is often too dim and the fog machines frequently billow at full blast.
The cast members, when you can see them, are outstanding. This is an ensemble show, and eight of the first nine numbers are spent introducing audiences to the characters and their various life crises. There's a ballerina on her farewell tour (Natascia Diaz), her assistant beset by creepy unrequited love (Crystal Mosser), a businessman attempting to negotiate a merger (Kevin McAllister), his typist who aspires to be a movie star (Nicki Elledge), a baron racking up room service debt (Nkrumah Gatling), and a terminally ill bookkeeper (Bobby Smith) who is determined to spend his life savings in style.
By the time these fine performers finish introducing themselves via a song, we're 45 minutes into the show, there's still no plot, and the program still says "no intermission." A second round of songs allows the characters' stories to intertwine while a throwaway narrator (Lawrence Redmond) offers vague commentary and additional melodrama in the form of a doctor addicted to morphine.
The melodies aren't memorable, which is not a prerequisite for a musical but would improve this one. There are just six musicians and a conductor in the orchestra, and all the string parts are synthesized in a production that would benefit from sustained fermatas played on an actual violin.
The actors, thankfully, are the genuine deal. Once again, Signature has found worthy parts for Smith and Diaz, who appear several times each season. Also of note are young graduates of Catholic University's musical theater program, especially Elledge, who strikes a balance of naivety and pluck as the typist, a role originated by Jane Krakowski.
Choreographer Kelly Crandall d'Amboise drew on period-specific dances like the Foxtrot and the Charleston. Like animated wallpaper, dancers stay busy in the background while central characters feud. These performers must end the show exhausted! I'd linger and applaud them loudly but there was no intermission and, well, it's time to check out.
To May 18 at 4200 Campbell Ave., Arlington. $40–$102. (703) 820-9771. sigtheatre.org.
