A new doc tells the extraordinary story of solo sailor Mike Plant

“Because it’s there,” was George Mallory’s famous answer to a reporter asking why he wanted to climb Mount Everest. Mike Plant likely would’ve said the same thing about the oceans that cover two-thirds of the earth’s surface, which he circumnavigated—alone—three times before his untimely death in 1992. Coyote: The Mike Plant Story, an excellent new documentary directed by Plant’s nephew Thomas Simmons, tells the story of a complicated subject who, following a troubled childhood in Minnesota, find his true home on the open water, ultimately becoming one of the best single-handed ocean racers ever. Through extensive interviews with Plant’s family and friends, plus previously unseen footage of Plant scraping together funds to get his first boat designed and built, Simmons weaves a gripping narrative of a man consistently rising to meet every obstacle—natural and man-made—head on. From winning his first race to a key moment when he chooses honor over glory, Plant remains something of an elusive figure, though that’s to be expected, given his proclivity for the solitude of a solo voyage. In the end, Plant may be best understood by another Mallory quote: “Why do we travel to remote locations? To prove our adventurous spirit or to tell stories about incredible things? We do it to be alone…and to find ourselves in a land without man.” Here, Simmons talks about Plant’s magnetism, his tunnel vision and his legacy in the world of sailing.

Aside from the fact that he was your uncle, what pushed you to want to make the film?
I found myself going down a very straight arrow path. I went to college and studied economics and started my career and I sort of ran into a wall. I began questioning myself. Why am I doing this? I really wanted to do something creative and I really wanted to take a risk. If you look at Mike’s story we were really about the same age. I was 32, Mike was 34 when he decided to build a boat and sail around the world. I was 32 when I had a steady job at an investment bank and I decided that I was going to take a sharp left turn and really do something that I believed in. I had no experience making films before this. I mean no experience at all.

It seems like you learned a lot from his story…
Not that Mike was always a good example to follow—he went to some dark corners—but when I decided to jump off the cliff of having a stable job, I carried Mike’s example in my pocket. Take a risk on something that really makes your heart jump.

Were you close with him?
He was a very guarded person. He wasn’t paying much attention to anything but his mission. I’m not trying to paint him as a bad person. He just had tunnel vision on the mission in front of him.

In a way it makes sense that a personality like that would end up sailing around the world by himself.
He fed off that. He didn’t have to rely on anyone. If he succeeded, it was because he succeeded and if he failed, it was because he failed. I think that’s something he always fed off of. He was always kind of a lone wolf. From the time he was a young boy, all the way through.

rl magazine - lone wolf

And yet he seemed to have something magnetic about him, something that drew people in.
People definitely gravitated towards him because of the energy he had and the great big things he was setting out to do.

What do you think drew Mike to the open water?
At the end of the film when you see Mike just behind the wheel by himself, you recognize, that’s the most calm you ever see him. Mike’s life in general was the coyote’s life. He was all about going solo. This was a sport that required that, but it also enabled that. He could get on that boat and nobody else could touch him. He could do it all alone. It also encompassed incredible danger and I think Mike naturally gravitated towards that. There are people whether they are mountain climbers or extreme skiers or whatever, that have a chip in their brain that really only receives satisfaction when they are pushing the envelope.

But pushing that envelope got him into some trouble…
When Mike was smuggling drugs from South America into the United States, as one of his friends says in the film, I don’t think he ever wanted to be a drug dealer, he liked the thrill of potentially getting caught. Many things he did in his life unknowingly prepared him for this sport. Whether it was hiking the length of South America by himself or navigating the dangers of going through the Athens airport with a fake passport. I think you can transfer that to why he’d want to engage in a sport, where you’re encountering pretty grave danger on a regular basis

The thing that was most impressive to me about his story was not just the physical demands of sailing solo around the world, but the mental endurance that would be required for literally months at a time. What impressed you most about his accomplishments?
That he walked into a sport that he had no real experience in, no single-handed ocean racing experience, but not only that, he built his boat with his own hands, then won his class in the first race he ever sailed. What Mike would say the hardest part for him was not sailing around the world, the hardest part was raising the money.

If he were still alive, do you think he’d still be racing?
My opinion is that people who are wired like Mike Plant—the risk takers—don’t grow out of that. I think you just keep taking it further.

What do you think Mike’s legacy is to sailing?
I think his legacy was that he was an American pioneer. At the time of his death he was one of only five skippers that had completed three single-handed circumnavigations of the globe. And the only one who was an American.

Coyote: The Mike Plant Story will receive worldwide digital distribution in June 2018.

XML Sitemap Generator Tool

Submit your website in our XML Sitemap Generator Tool and create sitemaps in a snap!

What is an XML Sitemap?

XML Sitemaps are website maps that lead the Google Bot crawler directly to the important pages of your website.

Generally, these sitemaps are created to help Google find and crawl over those pages of your website that were not included in its internal linking structure.

Creating and submitting Google XML Sitemaps of your domain, only assits in a better and designated deep crawl of your website.

But the creation of sitemaps is not an easy process; plus, not everyone knows how to create XML file for sitemaps. Therefore, you need a sitemap tool that can create XML Sitemap for your domain.

RankWatch has what you need. Its XML Sitemap Generator Tool online can build sitemaps for your site instantly. You need to enter the domain, provide related information about it, and mention the total number of pages you want to include in the XML sitemap. After doing that, you just need to press 'Create XML File', and the XML Sitemap Generator will build an XML Sitemap for your domain. After this sitemap is generated, you can download it by clicking on 'Download Sitemap'.

XML Sitemaps vs HTML Sitemaps?

The main difference between XML sitemaps and HTML sitemaps is the former was written for the search engine, while the latter was for the users.

XML sitemaps have in-depth information about a website whereas HTML sitemaps include a general overview of a site concerning a user.

About XML Sitemap Generator by Rankwatch

However, giving a short tutorial about how to create sitemap using our free online Sitemap Generator does no harm. It will only be more helpful to our users in creating sitemaps efficiently.

Let's begin.

Step I: Go to the 'Website Management Tools' section and select the XML Sitemap Generator tool.

Step II: Enter the exact URL of your website along with the protocol (HTTP or HTTPS).

Step III: Instruct the Sitemap Crawler. Inform it about your preferences: How many pages of your domain do you want the Sitemap Crawler to crawl, change frequency, default priority, and dates for the sitemap.

Step IV: Re-check information you have entered and then command the tool to create sitemap online by clicking 'Create XML File'.

Step V: Start analysing the sitemap code generated by our sitemap tool, then download the XML file by clicking on 'Download Sitemap'.

And that's how you can use our free Sitemap Generator Tool online efficiently.

What to do after creating Google XML sitemaps?

Step I: You need to add the downloaded sitemap.xml file to your domain's root directory. It is necessary that you unzip the already present XML file and zip the latest one together with the old ones.

Step II: Open your Google Search Console Account and add the URL to your sitemap. If you are concentrating on other search engines, you can add the sitemap to their respective Search Consoles (names may differ). These are not just Google XML sitemaps; our tool creates sitemaps that are readable to every search engine.

These are all the necessary steps to creating a sitemap and uploading it to your search engine's database.

If you have recently launched your website, creating a sitemap will only help the search engine discover your site earlier than its natural course.

Benefits of using website XML Sitemap Generator

If you want the search engine crawlers to conduct a deep crawl on your site, you need to provide every information related to your site's pages along with their URLs. After all, a website's sitemap gives a clear path to the crawler to crawl every important page of your site with ease.

There are several reasons why users create sitemaps of their website using our XML generator and consider it one of the best Sitemap Generators in the market, and they are as follows:

Detailed Sitemaps: One of the main reasons why people use our Sitemap creator is because it creates detailed sitemaps by covering every aspect of a URL.

Saves Time: Our tool is based on an advanced algorithm. It creates sitemaps within a matter of seconds.

Saves Efforts: You no longer have to create sitemaps manually. Our tool can do that automatically with its advanced algorithm.

Saves Money: The XML Creator Online by RankWatch is a 100% free-to-use tool. And you do not need to invest in an expert to create XML file for your domain.

Why do you need a Sitemap?

There are several reasons why a domain needs a sitemap:

Certain web pages are not internally linked with the other pages of the website, so they need to be discovered. A sitemap helps in achieving that.

The count of quality inbound links is meagre; this affects your online visibility as a new website. You need to get your site indexed and sitemaps can fasten the indexation process.

Pros And Cons Booking.Com

Pros And Cons Booking.Com

Retribution was not a worry. Polls: A yearly company-wide, 3rd party questionnaire was observed up through group workshops to attend to management problems as well as worker fulfillment; this leaves out incomes and annually perk gift, which constantly formulates unsatisfactory scores but were actually hardly taken care of unless all wages were changed throughout all career bands.

Pros And Cons Booking.ComPros And Cons Booking.Com
Pros And Cons Booking.ComPros And Cons Booking.Com

Quarterly benefits may be the equivalent of 1-2 salaries if a worker goes over all bonusable intendeds and also Goes beyond Expectations in their quarterly customer review. Additionally, 401K employee match of 6% is good. Paid for volunteer days were actually supplied to aid company-approved non-profits. Other benefits: Crew celebrations and lunches were budgeted as well as booked based upon worker accessibility.

Reserving Annual Fulfilling (through pool only). Fully kept breakrooms along with complimentary well-balanced produce, snacks, and also refreshments. Work-life harmony (as by the hour, non-traveling FTE): Supervisors have actually consistently been very certain to not take job residence and also levelled to useful reviews pertaining to keeping proper work-life harmony. Employed worker adventures may differ. ConsBooking Yearly Fulfilling in Amsterdam: BAM (2 times of sessions, trainings, and a themed event) was usually guaranteed available employees in really good status, however was actually cancelled for 2018.

After that, BAM was transformed right into a frustrating 1-day kick-off 2019 occasion, no trainings, no shops. Later on in 2019, the Amsterdam BAM was renewed for 2020. Presence was raffled and also irregular around offices. Instructions: A number of quarterly trainings in different NORAM offices, one DNA instruction in Amsterdam, and also regional reunions were actually reduced for non-management and limited to on the web instructions.

Pros And Cons Booking.Com

But, earnings were actually till low-to-middling matched up to other on-line travel business. Low career range of motion (coming from NORAM offices): You do not intend to be actually an account supervisor, senior account supervisor, key account manager, etc? Too negative since that was the prevalent Partner Providers profession keep track of in NORAM. Telecommuting: Requesting a project in a various department/country experienced desperate.

Yet, EMEA had the biggest task range. The business was stiff on telecommuting coming from any sort of among the 198 workplaces.

In 2019, the AE task was actually “commercialized” meaning our company now handled our very own accounts, offered companions along with strategy/advice, as well as operated companion meetings without profile manager salary given that AE traveling was actually prohibited.

The salary is really good and also quarterly bonus offers are actually a perk (Pros And Cons Booking.Com).

If you function a later shift you’ll correspond with additional attendees and partners in Asia, Australia, and also the Middle East. Annual drawing to visit Amsterdam where the provider’s HQ lies.

ConsOpen office design – I am actually uncertain exactly how this could ever work with a telephone call facility.

Pros And Cons Booking.ComPros And Cons Booking.Com

I have actually personally talked to a a great deal of new-hires that were actually learnt techniques and policies that were obsoleted or even only incorrect. Modifications Pt 2. In the 3 years and 9 months I operated at Booking.com the technique client complete satisfaction was calculated changed 3 times, as did get in touches with every hour/interval.

Pros And Cons Booking.Com

Regrettably it was actually altered after 3 one-fourths in a means that no more profited workers down the road. Bugs – I might point out “everything at Booking.com is actually broken” and you would certainly think I am actually exaggerating. I’m certainly not. The ticketing unit made use of by client service was created in-house. When originally developed it worked fairly fantastic.

Naturally, you will be counted on to keep “excellent credit ratings” regardless. A wonderful example is just how they track functionality. Whole entire months of information have been thrown away considering that one thing pestered. You’ll quickly discover yourself losing take a breath trying to cause along with your supervisor that an one-fourth with 3 months months of information shouldn’t be actually contrasted to one with 2.

Having said that, they don’t like it when you supply responses or even critique interior methods, procedures, or items. I once contested a high quality score I was actually offered for a ticket where I was plainly proper according to operations. I was provided pretty a little bit of pushback, and also eventually needed to cope with ball game I was actually offered to begin along with.

The amount of tickets you begin is actually even more significant than the amount of tickets you resolve. Job evasion through coworkers trying to spare their “numbers” manages rampant. Employee Health Exterior – The real complications staff members have are actually never ever attended to. The firm will certainly do a great deal to drive employee health as well as will deliver sources, yet will not in fact alter anything.

Pros And Cons Booking.Com

Symbol D. Okerstrom, the CEO of Expedia pulled in $13,089,562 of remuneration, yet his customer support representatives were paid for $16/hr typically.

The expense of living are going to boost much quicker than any type of income boosts.

Sneaky – There seems to be to be no premium management for brand-new items and questionable adjustments have actually been actually made. While I was employed the firm partnered with an additional firm based in India named OYO. The operations of OYO were actually greatly various than ours and caused a fair bit of conflict.

One fascinating attribute Booking.com adds is actually a testimonial rating and price sorting choice. This lets you find high-scoring resorts that are actually also budget-friendly.

Booking.com also didn’t found as numerous end results as a few other services we used. Nor does it give price-watch alerts.

Booking.com includes hotel and condo choices in its outcomes.

You can also pack tours and also cars alongside your hotel to conserve funds.

If you sign up for a profile, you’ll obtain access to members-only rates and also newsletters with discount offers (Pros And Cons Booking.Com). There’s no alternative to make points for your journeys.

Booking.com is actually a practical service, however it doesn’t provide as many outcomes or provide an incentives system. It carries out make it effortless to bundle tours, automobiles as well as lodgings in to a package.

Pros And Cons Booking.Com

Published on September 17, 2017; improved on September 23, 2017 Numerous sites and applications nowadays are actually designed to fool you into carrying out things that their makers desire. Listed here are actually some instances from timewellspent.io: YouTube autoplays much more online videos to maintain our team from leaving. Instagram shows new suches as one by one, to maintain our company looking for additional.

Snapchat turns discussions into streaks our team do not intend to drop. Our media transforms occasions into breaking headlines to maintain our company seeing. But among the best manipulative web sites I’ve ever encountered is Booking.com, the big accommodation search & reservation service. If you ever before utilized Booking.com, you perhaps observed (and also ideally withstood!) some techniques it pokes you to manual whatever building you are taking a look at: Let’s observe what is actually going on listed here.

” Jackpot! This is actually the least expensive price you have actually viewed in London for your days!” Obviously it is this is actually the 1st price I am finding for these days in order that statement is actually tautological. The declaration “This is actually the greatest price you’ve seen in London for your dates!” would be actually only as valid.

The struck-through US$ 175 is prior to administering my 10% “genius” discount rate ok, that is actually fair. But where performs the US$ 189 stemmed from? Allow’s hover over the cost to obtain an illustration: I imagine the majority of people will definitely believe intimidated through the complex explanation, miss to the final paragraph, and sense that “you obtain the very same area for a lower price contrasted to various other check-in dates”.

Research Discussion Paper – RDP 8204 An Econometric Model of the Australian Trading Banks: 1974–1980

This paper reports on an econometric model of the aggregate behaviour of the Australian trading banks, using monthly data from January 1974 to June 1980. There are two reasons for this study. First, there have been several changes in the institutional environment in which banks operate as a consequence of some deregulation and attempts by the financial sector to circumvent some regulation. Hence, there is a need to focus attention on a period in which government regulation is relatively homogeneous.

Second, by using monthly data of reatively recent vintage some better idea of the dynamics of portfolio adjustment by the banks will be obtained. Previous studies have frequently made use of relatively long runs of quarterly data and, for the most part, have found lengthy adjustment lags.

The estimated model comprises ten behavioural equations and one identity. There are equations for demand deposits, fixed deposits, negotiable certificates of deposit, overdraft advances and commercial bill acceptances, all of which have been modelled as being determined by the non-bank public. In turn, the banks are assumed to determine the supply of negotiable certificates of deposit, fully drawn loans, overdraft limits, bill acceptance limits and the stock of excess liquid assets (determined residually). There is also an equation for the interest rate on commercial bills. The dynamic simulation properties of the model are also reported, as are the results of three counterfactual experiments.

Broadly speaking, the results support the theoretical model that is presented in an appendix. Adjustment by both the banks and the non-bank public is rapid, with most average lages being less than four months.

Radical expectations

Tessa Leong: Avignon Festival 2014

Intérieur, Shizuoka Performing Arts Company/Les Ateliers Contemporains

Intérieur, Shizuoka Performing Arts Company/Les Ateliers Contemporains

Intérieur, Shizuoka Performing Arts Company/Les Ateliers Contemporains

With threatened social welfare cuts, artists and other workers across France went on strike this summer, including on the first day of the 2014 Avignon Festival. With banners across every venue, announcements of solidarity before every show and politicians banned from theatres, a very particular political message framed the audience experience.

Works offering overt political analysis such as Solitaritate from Romania and La imaginación del futuro from Chile brought this context into sharper view. The political framework felt equally strong in Intérieur, directed by French master Claude Régy, despite his presenting no overtly political message. Analysis and action, generational political engagement and the politics of western democracies were among the topics posed at the festival under the new artistic director Olivier Py.

Solitaritate by Romanian writer-director Gianina Cărbinariu is a series of comic episodes which question the current guiding ideologies of Western democratic capitalism. Performers begin the show debating which audience rows they own—individuals claiming us as their territory. Falling walls are a repeated visual metaphor—from the theatrical fourth wall to a domestic argument which leads to a brick wall falling around a couple and their neoliberal ideals. This recurring motif unites the scenes that show all human experiences and intimacies reduced to commodities. In one scene we attend the funeral of “Eugenia Ionescu”—an homage to Romania’s greatest dramatist Eugene Ionesco. It’s a self-conscious attempt for this new generation of theatre-makers to bury the idols of their past and carve out theatrical space of their own. Cărbinariu places the blatant colonialism of marking out audience territory alongside a monologue from a nanny imported to work for a wealthy European family. A huge glittering Romanian flag—hung upside down—unexpectedly drops to engulf the nanny who struggles, trying to free herself from its oppressive weight.

Cărbinariu states that putting everyday lives in the theatre is a subversive act in Romania and no doubt this is what attracted the programmers. Unfortunately, the work seems somewhat contrived, its tone naive in an international festival where the context is starkly different. In a way the programming of this show for the festival mimics the very questions of consumerist ideologies posed by the company—and the power of their production is diluted as it becomes part of the marketplace it is questioning.

La imaginación del futuro

Further questions of political context are posed in relation to Chilean theatre company La Re-sentida’s La imaginación del futuro which replays the military coup and mysterious death of Salvador Allende on 11 September 1973. The brute force and energy of this young ensemble is undeniable; however, rather than the future implied in the title we are presented with a past reimagined with irreverence and humour. Allende is surrounded by political advisors at every turn trying to enact influence, minimise damage and create spin with the construction of his famous final address filmed and re-filmed. The backdrops, costumes and the speech are manipulated and reconstructed in a live video feed. In a triumphant moment for the advisors, huge banners of Che Guevara, Fidel Castro and Salvador Allende are unveiled during a dance routine to Latino-American hip-hop group Cypress Hill.

La Re-sentida poses the question of how Chile became a dictatorship after the death of Allende and how the construction of truth and mythology is continually remade. Although these are worthwhile questions, the ensemble’s response suggests cynicism rather than proposing any liberating action. As spectators we embrace the show’s surface and join in mocking the past. However, the present tense cynicism of the production diffuses the possibility of any political action as we realise our own impotence.

While La Re-sentida have power in their analysis, their discourse fails to move on from political rhetoric while drawing a new, less nostalgic view of Allende. La Re-sentida have bravado, enthusiasm and wit, but do not transform their questions into action that results in true political engagement for the spectator.

There is no explicit political analysis in the work of 89-year-old Claude Régy’s Intérieur. Régy first directed Maeterlinck’s 1895 play in France in 1985. So when Shizuoka Performing Arts company invited Régy to direct a play for them, it was this piece he wanted to revisit, in Japanese, with Japanese performers. Intérieur in Régy’s hands focuses on the symbolism of death and transcendence. We are confronted by the rules this director imposes upon us on the way into the theatre. An announcement requests total silence. Maeterlinck desired us to be aware of the laws we are subject to. The writing is pared back to essentials: minimal text which is simple and direct. We look with the townspeople at the silent family inside the house. A small boy is asleep centre stage. His immobile body comes to symbolise death as we hear about the death of his sister in the river.

Every movement and phrase in this work is excruciatingly slow. At this pace, interactions become inhuman and language unrecognisable: all removed from the everyday. Theorist Walter J Ong has stated, “sound only exists as it is going out of existence.” Régy’s theatrical investigation takes this to its extreme. We are acutely aware of each syllable and the silence that surrounds it. With slow motion, we are forced to reconsider what it is to be a spectator and become acutely aware of those around us too—the audience that coughs and wriggles. The stage is covered in noiseless white sand on which the performers almost seem to float. The only defined feature is the delineation between interior and exterior: the subject of the play, marked by low lighting, shifting almost imperceptibly between one colour and the next.

The impact of Intérieur resonates long after the experience—whether one is confronted, enamoured or enraged. In reimagining Maeterlinck’s text, this production awakens the audience to reconsider their position in the act of watching. We are offered no way in which to process this—we are given no referent for the real world. Without this, and by boldly manipulating time and space, Régy manages to break the nexus between consumption and culture for the duration of the play. Intérieur brings us to a new awareness and engagement with the world surrounding us through its theatrical action which resonates as a brave political act.

Osborne: A500 carriageway widening project

Achieved 0% Recycling Rate

The project achieved 100% recycling with no requirements for the disposal of material at landfill

Finished 0 months ahead of schedule

Through close collaboration the project finished 3 months ahead of schedule

Over 0 tonnes of topsoil

Reconomy identified an onward use for over 140,000 tonnes of topsoil, moving it up the waste hierarchy

Reducing congestion

In February 2019, work began to widen a section of the A500 between the A5271 (Porthill) and A527 (Wolstanton) junctions around Stoke-on-Trent. This was a Highways England project to reduce congestion along a section of road which was suffering from long delays, closely spaced junction and a high number of collisions due to irregular traffic merges.

In addition to widening both carriageways from two to three lines, the project would also see the installation of new drainage, safety fencing, signs and lighting. A new shared pedestrian and cycle path beside the northbound carriageway was also included in the construction plans. The contract was awarded to leading construction and solutions provider, Osborne, part of the Geoffrey Osborne Group. Despite Reconomy already holding an exclusive agreement to provide waste management services to Osborne’s projects, the requirement for large quantities of inert waste and muckaway removal meant the job could be put out to tender, attracting a number of quotes from different suppliers.

Innovative thinking

The waste management contract was ultimately awarded to Reconomy thanks to a combination of competitive pricing and innovative thinking. Visual inspection of the project area identified a large verge that needed clearing to make way for the extended carriageway, which was partially covered in high-quality topsoil. Reconomy quickly identified the potential for the topsoil to be utilised elsewhere, thereby moving it up the waste hierarchy. Using our extensive supplier network, Reconomy investigated all avenues for the topsoil that would reduce disposal costs for Osborne and provide an onward reuse option. During these investigations Reconomy identified a landfill site that was closing to any new waste disposal and therefore in need of topsoil to act as a capping material. Not only did this lessen the overall environmental impact of the A500 project it also reduced muckaway disposal costs for this waste by 27%.

Construction waste

The removal of all 14,120 tonnes of topsoil was achieved as part of the project’s initial phase. Once completed, the remainder of the excavation work began at pace, involving the full removal of the roadside verge to allow for the carriageway widening. With no hazardous waste identified at the site, all remaining material could be removed as inert waste. A total of 14,380 tonnes was collected and sent for recycling as part of this process. In addition to the muckaway element of the project, Reconomy also set-up a waste compound and established segregation procedures for various other types of construction waste including wood, brick and block, general waste, plasticsnand hazardous waste. Approximately 20 tonnes of these materials werencollected during the project, and with thenexception of any waste mandated to go to landfill, 100% diversion was achieved.

Achieving results

The A500 carriageway widening project has been the largest muckaway job contracted to Reconomy by Osborne. Not only has it demonstrated Reconomy’s levels of efficiency, it has also underlined our commitmentnto delivering cost savings that provide additional environmental and sustainability-led benefits. No other company that tendered for the waste management contract on this project was able to offer this. In total, Reconomy managed the removal of 29,636 tonnes of waste, achieving 100% reuse or recycling, with no requirements for the disposal of waste at landfill. By thinking innovatively and utilising methods beyond standard disposal routes, Reconomy was able to deliver a considerable cost saving for Osborne whilst also helping to fulfil the project’s sustainability ambitions.

Orange County DA's Office releases pandemic plan

Heather Yakin

GOSHEN - Amid COVID-19 pandemic and recommended social distancing measures, Orange County District Attorney David Hoovler announced Tuesday some measures that his office is taking.

Prosecutors will still be available to police to help with warrants, investigation and other issues, and have been instructed that whenever possible, they are to conduct interviews with witnesses and case discussions or preparation with police via telephone whenever possible.

Meetings, trainings or other interactions with outside agencies will be done via phone or internet, or will be cancelled.

The grand jury will continue meeting, but the proceedings will be conducted in the Orange County Legislative Chamber, which is much larger than the grand jury room, to allow the jurors to sit farther apart for social distancing, Hoovler said. So far, there has been no government order to extend deadlines for cases to go to grand jury, Hoovler said.

With most local court cases adjourned well into the future and County and City courts handling only limited matters - primarily arraignments, orders of protection and bail applications - Hoovler said his office, the Legal Aid Society of Orange County and the courts are discussing conferencing cases via phone or video to limit contact between people.

Assistant district attorneys have cell phones that double as wifi “hot spots” and laptops, and can work from home if needed in case of greater restructions, Hoovler said.

“In general, every crisis brings out the best in our community as residents band together to help others, such as ensuring that elderly neighbors are receiving proper care and food,” said District Attorney Hoovler. “Unfortunately, there are those who try to take advantage of the situation by using the crisis to defraud others, or those who place the greater community at risk by failing to abide by lawful emergency orders designed to prevent the spread of the virus.”

He also warned people to be wary of scam phone calls or emails seeking coronavirus donations, and warned that no one should drive out credit card or banking information over the phone.

“As we all go through these challenging events together, it is essential that all residents heed the lawful orders of the police and other emergency management personnel to keep everyone safe,” said District Attorney Hoovler. “Those who disobey the lawful orders of authorities may be subject to arrest and prosecution. We are all hoping that such steps will not be necessary.”

Today’s Question: We know how important employer branding is to landing top talent, and we know that one of the best ways to advertise your employer brand is through your employees themselves.

The question is, how, exactly, do you turn employees into effective brand ambassadors?

brandon1. Send a Team Out Into the Trenches

We created a group of brand ambassadors called the “Unicorn Crew” that represents iHeartRaves at music festivals across the United States. The mission is to inspire self-expression, creativity, and empower individuals. For each festival, we have an application process where we select people from all over the country, in addition to some of our own employees. The Unicorn Crew goes to the music festival together, and the members wear matching iHeartRaves outfits. They interact with attendees while promoting positive rave culture. They also provide coverage of the festival to the iHeartRaves social media networks. It’s a great way to spread information about our brand, but also about the lifestyle.

Brandon Chopp, iHeartRaves

Cristian2. Incentivize It

In recent years, we have tried several strategies, but the best results came from giving away an all-expense-paid small vacation for a full weekend to both the family of a referring employee and the family of the new hire we make based on the referral.

This incentive helped us get our last three hires, and the results were perfect – amazing, talented people and great culture fits.

Cristian Rennella, elMejorTrato.com

Flynn Zaiger3. Get Employees Invested in Your Organization First

Employees love being listened to, so the best way to turn them into ambassadors is to very honestly ask them what they’re looking for at work. Do they want more leadership opportunities? Better continuing education? More flexible work options?

If you listen to your employees and allow them to give their input on the culture your company is forming, not only will you have a better place for them to work, but they’ll also feel like they have a hand in the decisions your top brass makes every day. This feeling of investment is key to turning employees into ambassadors who grow your client base and your recruiting capabilities.

Flynn Zaiger, Online Optimism

ianheadshot4. Keep Employees Informed

Last year, we established an in-house employee brand ambassador program. We started by identifying employees we felt would make great brand ambassadors, and then we trained them on representing our company.

We start with a few employees who have displayed true dedication to our company, and we empower them with high-level insight into to what our company is about. We encourage them to share their passion for our business with friends and others in their networks. We let these employees be the first to know about updates and changes, and we give them sneak peeks of new products. That way, they can easily share information about our company.

I have found the key is to keep employees in the loop. No one can expect employees to champion the business if they’re not regularly informed of what’s going on throughout the company.

Ian McClarty, PhoenixNAP

Morgan5. Recognize Your Employees

Meaningful employee recognition is an incredible way to build brand loyalty. When employees feel valued, they’ll speak fondly of their managers and companies for appreciating their hard work.

Taking recognition one step further, let’s explore experiential rewards. Unlike cash or gift cards, sending employees on experiences builds positive memories that employees will keep with them even after leaving the company. Experiential rewards also create an element of social capital: Employees tend to share photos and videos of their experiences on social media, thanking their companies for the opportunity. Additionally, when the employee comes back to the office after their recognition adventure, they’re building buzz internally with their colleagues over the espresso machine.

Morgan Chaney, Blueboard

leigh6. Get People Excited

If employees are excited about their work, their ability to make a difference, their company’s culture, their managers, their benefits, and the office vibe, their enthusiasm will be contagious. The employees will be brand ambassadors without any prompting from the employer. Even their spouses will be saying, “You should check out XYZ Company. My husband (or wife) has been really happy there. The benefits are great, and my spouse comes home feeling energetic and inspired.”

If you have a job posting to fill, send it to your employees and ask their input on candidates to consider. They will be happy to share the job description with their friends or write a company review on Glassdoor to help you.

Conversely, if employees are not excited about their work, your efforts to turn them into brand ambassadors will fall flat – or even backfire. Instead of asking employees to rah-rah your employer branding when they feel crummy about it, you need to dig into the root causes of dissatisfaction and find meaningful, lasting solutions. Hyping a broken employer brand will create cynicism among your workforce, and that cynicism will spread outside the company walls via word-of-mouth and negative reviews on employment sites and social media. Employees may even advise their friends to steer clear of your company.

The questions, which were generated by the audience, grilled them on the public safety sales tax Measures D and E, their top priorities, the job industries they want to attract, unfunded liabilities, the city’s role dealing with homelessness, the relationship between the city manager and council, affordable housing, bicycling and historic preservation.

The only candidate missing was Lea Tate, who was unable to make the forum because she is in Florida for work. Nonetheless, she sent in an opening statement in which she spoke of her family’s roots in Redding, her recent visit with a Redding delegation to the Restoration Center in San Antonio and her support of the half-cent sales tax to pay for the $11 million spending plan on public safety and mental health.

Cadd, McElvain and Winter mostly kept their cool during the forum.

Early on, Cadd and McElvain, who oppose Measures D and E, found common ground, both saying they would tap the surplus reserves to pay for public safety personnel.

Winter, a fervent supporter of the measures, fired back, “if you can’t say yes, what is your plan?”

This was the second time the candidates met in a forum. The first was last Thursday among a smaller crowd at the Red Lion Hotel and where the questions had been given to the candidates ahead of time.

This meeting presented more probing questions that forced the candidates to be more spontaneous.

Cadd, who worked the pensions issue virtually into all of his answers, proudly owned up in closing remarks he is a one-issue candidate. But at times he became flustered with the audience and scolded them they weren’t listening to him.

It happened after he was asked what industry he would like to attract to Redding and again after he was asked what uses he saw for Stillwater Business Park beyond waiting for industries to move in.

Both times, he turned his attention to the pensions. Regarding Stillwater, he said he would have taken the $27 million the city invested to pay for the unfunded liability. There was laughter in the audience.

“I know you guys laugh, but dang it one of these days you’re going to stop and realize how big this problem is,” Cadd said. “It is one heck of a problem and you’re not listening. Redding could go into bankruptcy.”

The forum was sponsored by the League of Women Voters of the Redding Area, Viva Downtown Redding and the Record Searchlight.

Public safety was all the talk at last week’s forum.

This audience had more on its mind. People asked whether the candidates favored a wage freeze until the pension obligations are funded. Was the city doing enough to make this a bicycling community. What actions they would take to encourage millennials to stay. What steps could be taken to alleviate affordable rentals and what the city’s role is on homelessness.

On the lighter side, they also wanted to know what sets the candidates apart from each other and where in Redding these candidates take visitors. All three mentioned the Sundial Bridge.

In nuanced responses, Winter and McElvain found themselves on the same side on various proposals: That vision for the city comes from the council, the council was right to use reserves to help re-establish the neighborhood police unit and Redding needs to build on technology jobs and have a wider economic base to generate the revenues to help pay for the city's unfunded liability.

Both said they would be supportive of slowing down raises. But they noted the competitive job market, particularly for critical positions, such as electrical linemen, that if left vacant would put the city at risk.

“If we lose (linemen) positions, that could create a public safety issue,” McElvain said.

Cadd said the wage freeze should have taken effect four years ago when he was elected.

“But we didn’t do that because the council does not have enough backbone, if you will, to really address the problem,” he said.

Cadd sided with his opponents about the desire to see more internet start-ups. He also spoke of jobs in the health care sector and highlighted the Dignity Health wellness campus coming to the area just north of the Henderson Open Space.

Winter saw potential for partnerships between schools and business and the promotion of “lifestyle businesses” such as microbreweries, wineries, organic farming and outdoors-related businesses.

Asked about milennials, McElvain joked with moderator, John Truitt, “You keep asking me the same question” and pointed to his idea for a high-speed internet utility.

“They understand what it is, what it means for their future,” he said.

Cadd said Redding needs to have jobs lined up for students coming out of school but complained the city is stagnant, in part, because of pensions.

People want to work, walk and live in a vibrant downtown, said Winter, supportive of efforts to open the area to bike and foot traffic.

Regarding affordable rentals, the three candidates agreed the city can do more to encourage development.

It costs more than $100,000 in permits before putting a shovel in the ground, McElvain said of four-plexes for young families. 'We have stopped that development in Redding.'

Winter also stressed the need for good data to apply for federal housing funds.

The candidates next known forum is 6 p.m., Oct. 3 at First United Methodist Church, 1825 East St. It is sponsored by open space and bike advocates.

How To Choose Safe Anti-aging Skin Treatment

A skincare anti-aging treatment is easy to find these days. Anti-aging treatment is a successful booming business, and everyone wants to be a part of it. Buy this food. Buy this cream. Buy these drinks. Much of it is just advertising hype and nothing else.

One fact is that the sun damages your skin. It is easy to tell if you are looking at a part of your body that you rarely expose to the sun. You will notice that it is smoother and more evenly colored. Almost every skincare expert tells you to use sunscreen. What they do not tell you is what to do about the damage that has already been done. Skin tightening Fredericton expert provides some pro tips to find help if you are looking for a safe and effective anti-aging treatment.

Major Cause of Skin Damage

When skin cells are exposed to sun rays, they are quickly deprived of COQ10, a vitamin-like substance throughout the body. It’s an antioxidant, which means it destroys free radicals. When Ultraviolet rays rise free radical production, then antioxidants stored in the body are used to fight them in response. By including Vitamins and minerals in your diet can be considered a natural skincare treatment to overcome any deficiency.

If one anti-aging skincare professional suggests that the highest SPF rating is the best, read another. It’s a marketing strategy only. A sun protection factor of 15 is sufficient.

Spa Treatments for Damaged Skin

Exfoliation and microdermabrasion are popular treatments available in Day Spa or Medical Spa. They help by removing the upper layer of the skin. Does that sound like a good idea?

As you age, your skin becomes thinner anyway. So why should you scrape some of it off? You will end up with red, sore, irritated skin if your technician is not well experienced in his/her services. You want to take a softer approach. With a nourishing, moisturizing mask, your face will feel cleaner and smoother while removing dead cells instead of a whole layer of living cells. Exfoliating suggestions are not part of anti-aging skincare treatments.

The Truth About Skincare Products

When many people look for anti-aging treatment, they think that more expensive has to mean better. In most cases, you are paying for advertising. Yes, certain ingredients like COQ10 are costly. We hope that you will better understand what makes an effective, not expensive, treatment with this quick guide to anti-aging skincare.

After vigilant evaluation, researchers have found that most branded products contain very few active ingredients. The high prices are not due to high-quality ingredients.

The most common ingredient is a small collagen fiber extracted from animal skin. It’s not expensive at all, and it doesn’t work. It doesn’t even penetrate the outermost layers. Using purified water, fragrance, and paraffin, the average anti-aging skincare regimen will initially make your skin moist and smoother but remove natural oils. After a while, your skin will become drier than before.

There have been many advances in anti-aging treatment. Still, they are not heavily promoted as the manufacturer would offer you an affordable, well-researched product than spend the money on advertising.

Ingredients like functional keratin increase the production of elastin and collagen. Natural extracts from sea algae improve elasticity, nourish, and support the production of skin cells. Antioxidants like Vitamin E and COQ10 repair sun damage. An anti-aging skincare treatment can only be helpful if it is entirely realistic. What we have presented here are just the facts.

Non-Invasive Anti-Aging Skincare Treatment

Most of the time, people asked me, “Do we have any safe option” in skincare treatment. Yes, of course. One non-invasive skin tightening and wrinkle reduction treatment is widely available on a few reputable medical spas. These types of treatment can be performed on a full-body or any part of the body. From 6 to 8, sessions are necessary for the best results. After getting these types of treatment, you will see noticeable results.

How Natural Makeup Looks Real?

If you are a makeup artist, it is your job to help make natural makeup that will impress all of your clients. You will be expected to provide them with different looks that will help them look their best on the job. If you are doing your makeup, you need to know a few tips to be effective. The below information will help you get your perfect makeup looks.

You will need to know that you have many choices regarding makeup, so you have to choose the right one for your face and hair color. You can use any of the different colors to do your makeup, but the key is to choose something that compliments your skin. You can get a variety of makeups that will give you your makeover looks.

How to Apply Makeup Yourself?

If you use powder to apply your makeup, you should make sure you are not allergic to the powder. Also, make sure that the powder you are using for makeup is not going too oily. You should also make sure that the powder is not going to clump up, or that your hair will not be getting in your eyes and affecting your makeup.

Those who love to wear makeup don’t have to worry about artificial or unnatural makeup, looking like natural makeup. Many cosmetics brands have taken the challenge of finding the perfect blends that makeup look real. They have tried all kinds of methods to recreate the feeling of real skin, not only to their products but also to the people who try them.

Do Not Use More Artificial Makeup

The line of artificial makeup has become very successful because people want more from a product. The synthetic makeup makes you look as if you have much more natural skin than you do. However, this artificial look is beautiful, and people are always asking why makeup companies cannot create something that looks natural?

Everyone knows that the first time you use a new type of makeup products, you are probably a little apprehensive. But you have to go through your reactions and over-reactions before you can learn to love it. You can also check out everyday makeup looks step by step tutorial here.

When looking at synthetic & artificial products, make sure it’s not harmful. When you start using the new makeup products, you will see that the brands use natural ingredients to make the product look so much better. It is hard to make something look natural and good enough when it uses synthetics.

Natural Products Give Best Look

The cosmetic companies would like you to believe that their products are natural, and this is because they want you to buy them. However, these artificial cosmetics only leave you wondering how these products look so natural. You have to learn to be prepared for all sorts of unpleasant surprises when trying new products.

With some brands, you can get away with the little accidents such as streaks in the makeup that will eventually come off and that you will not notice until the next day. But with the most popular brand, some things will not go away until they are removed. It would help if you also learned how to make a good base or base coat before applying any color to your face.

Try Natural Products which are Not Harmful

People still wonder why synthetic make up is cheaper than natural products. However, making synthetic makeup is much less than the cost of natural products, which is probably why so many people choose them over natural products.

It would help if you did not always think that you are cutting out on something natural when you use these cosmetic products. Most people feel that these new products look so real that they might think they are genuinely natural. This can be very frustrating, and people will find that they cannot buy the real thing unless they pay a premium price.

It’s also important to remember that if you buy something natural, you benefit from buying something that looks natural, making your natural makeup look even better. You do not have to use all-natural products, but you need to buy something that looks natural. This is because the actual makeup does not look natural unless you apply it right.

Final Words

The last thing will be to consider what you eat to make yourself looks better. If you drink lots of water and other fruit juices, this will help you feel and look better. It is also essential to make sure that you use skincare products, which help the skin look better.

10 Benefits of Reich and Truax Mediating your Case

| Jul 12, 2018 | Uncategorized |

Mediation is efficient and effective. When two parties share a common goal of wanting to reach a solution for pending issues, mediation is extremely beneficial. A successful mediation session begins with identifying the issues that need to be addressed and ends with a written agreement by the parties. Instead of wasting time in court waiting to be heard, when you are scheduled for mediation, from the moment you walk in, the parties, attorneys, and mediator(s) are focused on your case.

Mediation is more than a substitute for a divorce trial. Mediation can be used for any matter that can be litigated. Mediation can be narrowed and focused only on a few elements of a case or can settle every disagreement. Mediation allows the parties to explore alternatives that may not have otherwise been considered in litigation.

Mediation is cost-effective. While mediation is a financial commitment, it is not as expensive as litigation. The intention of mediation is to resolve issues without the need for litigation. This shields the parties from spending considerable amounts of time in court, waiting, without any progress.

Mediation allows parties to explore options that work for their family. Mediation is a process that allows parties to explore different options and possible solutions through the mediation process. A successful mediation brings parties’ positions closer together. Parties do not need to have a solution or agreement prior to beginning mediation. In fact, mediation has a component of brainstorming and analysis. It is better to come into mediation with an open mind and not focused on one particular solution.

You are not required to have an individual attorney in order to mediate. Many parties have their attorneys present at mediation. Attorneys attend mediation sessions with their clients and help facilitate the mediation process. If parties do not have attorneys, often times they are advised to retain “review” counsel, as all agreements should be reviewed by an attorney prior to entering a final agreement. However, parties that do not have attorneys can also mediate their issues. An attorney isn’t required in order to “qualify” for mediation.

Mediation does not impact the litigation process. Mediation can occur concurrent to litigation. You can, but do not have to, mediate prior to filing for divorce. While the court is made aware the parties are attempting to mediate to resolve their issues, it does not prevent parties from moving forward with hearings and further litigation, as may be necessary.

Parties are not required to have open communication in order to engage in mediation. While it is helpful to communicate, the parties do not need to have great communication when entering into mediation. There is a mediator present who helps the parties work towards a resolution, even if the parties themselves are not speaking. Many times, during the mediation session the parties are kept separate and meet with the mediator alone.

The litigation process continues even when parties mediate. Mediation does not impact the litigation process. If the parties are close to a resolution through mediation, they can jointly request more time before they are before the court. The preparation required for mediation and the scheduling of the mediation session(s) typically are completed in a more expeditious fashion than the court system.

You need a mediator who is well-versed in the issues being discussed. While anyone could potentially serve as a mediator, family matters are sensitive and fact specific. You want someone experienced in family law and who knows the inner workings of the court system. You also need someone who is trained in mediation and has experience as a mediator. You do not want a mediator who tells you what to do. You need a mediator who will listen to you and work through your issues in order to reach a mutually agreeable resolution.

Mediation is full of benefits. Mediation removes the pressure of litigation. Many times, mediation opens up dialogue between parties and allows exploration of topics and ideas that would not have otherwise been brought up. In most cases mediation is less expensive than litigation. The biggest benefit to mediation is that the parties are able to control the process. They are able to feel secure in a comfortable setting while attempting to work through the most important issues of their lives. Mediation provides parties with the attention they deserve.

How our mediators can help you

At Reich and Truax, PLLC, we offer a diverse group of attorneys who focus their practice on all aspects of family law. Our attorneys are trained and certified in mediation. Most importantly, we love what we do and we feel strongly about fair and complete resolutions that work for the family unit.

Our mediators can explain pros and cons to every situation. We understand your positions, and by having extensive experience in representing families just like yours, we bring unique insight into the process and work through available solutions. Our firm focuses on high asset dissolutions and financially complex matters, so we are well equipped to provide the attention and detail necessary to work through specific financial matters. At Reich and Truax, PLLC, we will be able to work through your matter with you and make suggestions to develop the best mediation service for your case. We are available to work individually or in a team. Our goal is always focused on getting the parties the best agreement possible. The best solution is always one that has the least negative impact on the family unit but still allows the parties to individually prosper.

Web Hosting Security Best Practices

March 2019

These days, it seems as though nobody is safe from threats on the web. Hackers, phishing schemes, and other malicious attacks run rampant across the web, and servers are often a major target. And while there may be nothing you can do to guarantee you’ll never fall victim to a web attack or security breach, there are some pretty simple steps you can take to beef up security on your dedicated web hosting plan and enjoy some added peace of mind.

Don’t Forego Those Security Updates

When you’re prompted to install a security update or patch, make sure you install it right away. In addition to that, take time to manually check for security updates and patches at least once a week, rather than waiting to be prompted. The sooner you can get these installed, the better protected you’ll be from vulnerabilities and security breaches.

Opt for DDoS Protection

DDoS attacks are a very real problem these days, and no server is safe because the size and scope of these attacks are seemingly growing all the time. This is where it can be helpful to select a server that comes with DDoS protection. If your hosting company offers DDoS protection and you haven’t already purchased some for your server, now is the time to add it to your plan. Ideally, you’ll be able to enjoy free standard protection from your hosting company, as is the case with ReliableSite customers.

Backup Your Data Regularly

When was the last time you backed up your data? If it’s been more than a few days, then you’ll want to go out of your way to do this as soon as possible. Backing up your server data and files only takes a few minutes of your time, but it can make all the difference when it comes to protecting your information. In the event that you do fall victim to an attack or security breach, having your data backed up somewhere safe means you won’t lose it entirely.

Use a Little Common Sense

In addition to these tips, there are also some basic, common sense security practices that you should keep in mind when it comes to protecting your dedicated web hosting from attacks and security breaches. For example, when you’re logging into your hosting account, always make sure you’re on a trusted network. Entering your credentials over a non-secure network (such as that free public Wi-Fi at your local coffee shop) means you could be exposing your information to potential hackers. Make sure that anybody who has login access to your dedicated hosting plan is aware of this as well.

These are just a few of best practices to keep in mind from a security standpoint. In addition to this, having the best dedicated web hosting means you’ll have some great security features already in place, such as free standard DDoS protection and easy data backups. ReliableSite is committed to providing you with the best dedicated web hosting at an affordable price and with great security features. Contact us today to find out more about our hosting options or to set up your server!

Blog Archive for November 2017

If Amazon chooses to make Massachusetts the home of its second headquarters, will our workforce be ready? The majority of local employers report having trouble finding qualified candidates. What will happen if we add 50,000 more jobs? More must be done to prepare students for success after graduation and the education field knows how to do this. The problem is that many schools and districts don’t have the capacity or resources to put effective practices in place.
