Special Event Personal Shopping

Do you have a special occasion in your diary?
Are you worried about digging out something amazing to wear?
Would you like to find a perfect piece that suits your age, shape and budget?

Special occasion coming? Let’s take the stress out of you getting dressed!  If you have no idea what to wear, where to look, or what looks good on you, you need to book a special event personal shopping day.

Let’s be honest.  As soon as you get that party, wedding or function invitation, there’s a voice that pops into your head - and it’s anxious. What am I going to wear?  If you open your wardrobe, and every possible item gets a “no”, you need my special event personal shopping service.

Special events can be the trickiest thing to shop for - mostly because they put us outside of our comfort zone. Whether you wear a suit every day or just slouch around in tracksuits, special events need special attention.

To get the most out of this fun-filled day, you’ll:

  • Have an initial chat with me so I can learn more about you and the occasion you are attending

  • Get a moodboard of ideas for outfits, together with a list of suggested shops I think we should visit

  • Meet me at a pre-agreed shopping hub which suits your location, occasion and budget

  • Spend a day finding the perfect outfit and accessories, so you look fabulous on the day!

Instead of a stress-filled day frantically searching for the right outfit (and probably failing to find one), you’ll have had a relaxing, fun and productive shop.  It’ll do more than just kit you out for that one occasion- you’ll also get inspiration and insight on how to shop for events in the future.

For more information about special event personal shopping, or to book your day, please get in touch today

Visiting Prof. Carolyn Strange: "Gay Village killings show there's still tension between Toronto cops, LGBTQ community"

Friday, December 7, 2018

The Faculty of Law was pleased to host Prof. Carolyn Strange, of the Australian National University School of History, as a visiting professor from July to November 2018. Before she returned to Australia, Prof. Strange wrote this piece in The Conversation reflecting on the historical context of the police response to serial killers of gay males in light of the charges against Bruce McArthur in Toronto.

Bruce McArthur, who allegedly lured men into sexual encounters, killed them and disposed of their bodies, faces eight murder charges in Toronto. The case has saddened and angered many, especially those from LGBTQ2S+ communities. They’ve accused police of failing to investigate the case seriously.

Some community activists believe homophobia and racism lengthened the time it took police to make an arrest. These accusations have triggered an investigation into previously unsolved murders of gay men in the 1970s.

Ford government decision is a step backward for investor protection

By Anita Anand

Globe and Mail September 25, 2018

The Ontario Securities Commission recently published a proposed rule banning certain commissions to dealers on mutual fund sales. The rule was not just Ontario’s initiative – it was a joint effort by members of the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA), which consists of regulators from all provinces and territories. After months of discussions, which included the consideration of empirical data, the CSA finally agreed on the need to restrict certain commissions, with each of its members agreeing to implement the rule in its home province or territory.

Then, to the surprise of many, Ontario Minister of Finance Vic Fedeli expressed the government’s disagreement with the rule, ignoring the statutory process for making laws relating to the capital markets in this province. The Minister’s approach presents three problems. First, it undermines the rule-making process that is embodied in statute and has been the law for more than 20 years. Second, it fails to appreciate the important investor protection concerns that the CSA identified and sought to address. Third, it creates uncertainty in the capital markets, which the government of the day should be loath to do.

Doug Ford can’t apply the notwithstanding clause retroactively to impede democracy

Originally published in the Globe and Mail.

Prof. Lorraine Weinrib was formerly the deputy director of Constitutional Law and Policy, Ministry of the Attorney General of Ontario.

Politicians who are disappointed when constitutional rights frustrate their plans sometimes turn to the notwithstanding clause, thinking that it allows them to do anything they want. In this, they are mistaken.

The Supreme Court of Canada has held that the notwithstanding clause cannot operate retroactively. This ruling brings the override power in line with the rule of law – a pre-eminent constitutional principle. Persons are entitled to assume the continuity of their fundamental rights without worrying about retroactive government nullification.

No Time for Tinkering: On Intellectual Property and NAFTA

Last year, I wrote the following essay, as part of a collection of essays, "NAFTA and the Knowledge Economy", published by the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI). The essay discusses what Canada’s approach to intellectual property in the context of the renegotiation of NAFTA should be. Since the issues are back at the table, I thought I'd post it again. You can read it on CIGI's website, download a pdf version, or simply scroll down.

No Time for Tinkering: How a "more progressive" NAFTA could break the vicious circle of global inequities in the ownership of knowledge

The postwar international trading order reflected the assumption that reducing various state-imposed restrictions on trade, and promoting free and competitive markets, would be mutually beneficial to trading nations and to the world as a whole.

Populist and Liberal Democracy

Populist and Liberal Democracy

Alan Brudner

                Many see the authoritarian bent of Donald Trump’s presidency as a threat to liberal democracy—not as great, perhaps, as the populist dictatorships of Poland, Hungary, and Russia, but certainly on the spectrum.  Those who hold this view typically contrast populist democracy with liberal democracy. Populist democracy is the personal rule of a leader who draws direct support from the masses.  Liberal democracy is the rule of laws authorized by the masses’ civic-minded proxies, administered by public servants, and endorsable by all subjects viewed as free and equal.

Enhancing Governance in Dual Class Share Firms

Enhancing Governance in Dual Class Share Firms

by Anita Anand

            In a typical public company, shareholders can elect the board, appoint the auditors, and approve fundamental changes.  In other words, they can participate in the governance of the firm. Firms with dual class shares (DCS) alter this balance by inviting the subordinate shareholders to carry the financial risk of investing in the firm without providing them with the corresponding power to elect the board and exercise other voting rights. I argue that this misalignment of rights and risks should be subject to three modest reforms in order to enhance governance in DCS firms.

            The rationale underlying DCS is that they allow firm founders to protect themselves against a loss of control,[1] thereby ensuring that they can implement a long-term corporate strategy notwithstanding  short-term market pressures.[2] But the central question must be asked: to what extent (and for how long) should the law allow the founders to pursue their “idiosyncratic vision” for the DCS corporation?[3]

The Urgent Need to Reform Jury Selection after the Gerald Stanley and Colten Boushie Case

A Saskatchewan jury’s acquittal of Gerald Stanley in the death of a 22 year old Cree man Colten Boushie has galvanized and polarized public opinion in Canada. Followed less than two weeks later by another jury acquittal in the death of 15 year old Anishinaabe girl Tina Fontaine, these cases raise troubling questions about whether Indigenous people can receive justice in the Canadian criminal justice system.

Colonialism and Systemic and Historical Racism

Both cases should be seen in light of systemic racism that has and continues to discriminate against Indigenous people both as accused and victims.  More than one in four prisoners in Canada are Indigenous.  Indigenous people, especially Indigenous women and girls, also experience significantly higher rates of crime than non-Indigenous persons.

Foreign Dark Money Taints Canadian Parliamentary Proceeding

In her New York Times bestselling book, Dark Money, Jane Mayer investigates the influence-peddling practices of the excessively wealthy class—e.g. Koch brothers—on US democratic institutions. She reveals, with a sense of alarm and foreboding, how corporate donors-cum-political ideologues have strategically purchased increasingly larger portions of the democratic deliberative process. Though located in the United States, these ideologues can extend their reach as far as money can buy, including across international borders, in Parliament and legislative assemblies here in Canada.

Access Copyright v. York University: An Anatomy of a Predictable But Avoidable Loss

Originally posted on Prof. Katz's blog, here.

Two weeks ago, Justice Phelan of the Federal Court handed Access Copyright a huge victory in its lawsuit against York University.[1] I have followed the case closely and read the parties’ submissions and I have been constantly concerned that York risked snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Unfortunately, this is what happened. The good news is that many of the Court’s fundamental findings rest on very loose foundations, that I am confident that York’s loss is only temporary, and that if York appeals the decision and handles the appeal appropriately, most, if not all, of the Court’s major findings will be reversed. One way or another, and possibly with interveners assisting the court, one hopes that all essential arguments will be made on appeal. Therefore, this post provides an anatomy of York’s predictable yet totally avoidable loss.

Church NIMBY Case Dismissed

Oct 3, 2018

 Today, the Ventura County Superior Court granted Liberty Counsel’s motion to dismiss a lawsuit, brought by the Dos Vientos Community Preservation Association (Association) and Donald Armstrong, which attempts to force the City of Thousand Oaks to discriminate against Godspeak Calvary Chapel Church and a non-profit organization. The City of Thousand Oaks supports the church’s right to be in the building for religious use and worship.

Ironically, within a stone’s throw of the church is a Chabad synagogue located in the same complex of businesses. The synagogue also displayed a large rectangle tent for the Feast of Tabernacles. The Association does not object to the synagogue but does object to the church. The Association does not represent the neighborhood and is not a neighborhood association. Only a handful of people are behind the Association who are adamantly opposed to a Christian church in the area.

The court ruled that if the plaintiffs complete the procedural requirements for complaints, which they did not originally do, they have until October 17 to refile. If the complaint is re-filed, then Liberty Counsel will review it and will likely file another motion to dismiss.

Liberty Counsel had filed the motion in Ventura County Superior Court to dismiss the lawsuit because the Association is fine with having a YMCA rent the facility, but objects to a church renting the same facility. Such biased discrimination is often referred to as “Not in my back yard” (NIMBY).

In Dos Vientos Community Preservation Association v. City of Thousand Oaks, Liberty Counsel represents a religious nonprofit foundation (Foundation) which purchased a building and entered into an agreement to rent the facility to Calvary Chapel. The City of Thousand Oaks supports the use of the facility by the church. However, the Association filed suit objecting to the church. The Association claims that the facility should be used for a YMCA, not a church.

The Foundation purchased the building from the YMCA in January 2018. The YMCA built and operated a center before it closed in December 2017. The YMCA then sold the property, including the building, to the Foundation, which is where Godspeak Calvary Chapel now meets.

A Surprise Class Visitor

May 24, 2013

“It’s an exceptional thing to have the chief justice of the United States stroll into a class of about 20 students and start taking questions,” says Robert Klonoff, dean of the law school and professor of law. Prior to the environmental moot court competition, Roberts toured the law school campus and dropped in on three first-year legal writing classes. Even the professors were caught by surprise. Klonoff says Roberts requested seating charts in advance and memorized faces and names so he could call on students.

Steve Johansen J.D. ’87, professor of law and director of the legal writing program, says Roberts’ visit came at the perfect time. Students were just finishing their appellate briefs and preparing for their own oral advocacy competition the following week. The classroom discussion Roberts led was consistent with what Johansen had been teaching the entire semester—including a suggestion that students keep their briefs to a minimum. “If you haven’t won the case on the first three arguments, the chances are very slim that you will win on arguments four or five,” Johansen recalls Roberts saying. “Cut them out.”

Aliza Kaplan, associate professor of law, says the day was an incredible experience for her first-year law students, who were also about to embark on their own oral arguments. Roberts’ visit to her class—and the opportunity to watch the evening competition—gave her students “enthusiasm for lawyering and hope that they, too, could reach that high level of advocacy during their time at Lewis & Clark,” she says. “I told my students, ‘Practice, and you certainly can.’”

Alisa Larson-Xu, a student in Kaplan’s legal writing class, recognized Roberts when he walked into the classroom. “I’m pretty sure my jaw dropped, and my face turned bright red,” she says. But once she got over the initial shock, Larson-Xu composed herself and raised her hand to ask Roberts a question. “You don’t get many chances in life to speak directly to the chief justice of the United States.”

Flux for your phone

Flux for your phone

We have previously reviewed the f.lux app for laptops that dims the screen backlight after the sun sets in a bid to help you sleep better than you would after looking at the bright blue/white screen before bed.

Unsure if it is overly effective in the Scottish winter as our sun sets at around 4.30pm and I am rarely on my laptop right before bed, I was delighted to hear that Apple are including a new feature in their next iOS update called Night Shift which will introduce warmer, red and orange tones to the screen, promising a better nights sleep.

For all those who can't resist a last minute scroll of Facebook or Instagram before bed...

...sweet dreams.

I love how small this is!!! I also like how, because of the size and mounting options, this light can go in more than 1 place and could be paired with another unit somewhere else on the vehicle, but you definitely don't need it because the light is so powerful!
The magnets are solid and the light is fine and pretty bright
great light and design, very happy with it so far.
This looks pretty good on the roof and works perfect. I don't have any other comments about it, it's just a good light
I'm loving this mini light! I feel like it does just as much work for me as the full size ones, but is a lot cheaper and a lot easier to use! It still has all the good features too, it's just small. Very happy!
It was easy to mount and install, and everything works like it should. Pretty happy with it overall.
The green and white looks fantastic!
This 12 inch unit is a really good deal for all the stuff you get from it. Well made and works great. Thanks!
Packs great power and is very bright

Driving Web Traffic to Your Unknown Website

Driving Web Traffic to Your Unknown Website

by Stephanie Morrow, December 2009

The old saying "build it and they will come" doesn't always work in the vast world of the Internet. After you build your Web site, you must take certain steps to make sure they'll come. Essentially, you need a marketing plan. Your plan will be just like the plan for a brick and mortar company, except instead of getting people to drive to your store, you want to drive virtual customers to your Web page.

The following are some basic steps to help attract potential customers to your Web site, and keep them coming back:

Directories and Search Engines

Studies have shown that directories and search engines will drive traffic to a Web site better than nearly all other forms of Web advertising. "Web surfers" who are searching for specific information on their chosen subjects submit keywords to directories and search engines with the hopes of locating a Web site containing that information.

Directories are a great way to drive traffic to your Web site. Yahoo's directory is one of the most used search methods on the Web, and LookSmart feeds its results to popular search engines like AOL, MSN, AltaVista and CNN. Directories such as Yahoo and LookSmart use a structured organization of categorized links. They can either drive traffic to your Web site directly, like Yahoo, or indirectly, like LookSmart. Every submission to a directory is reviewed by an actual person and either accepted or rejected by them. Upon acceptance, your site will then be ready to be searched.

Submitting your Web site to search engines such as Google and Alta Vista is another great way to get your Web site in front of millions of viewers. In fact, Google is one of the most popular search engines used on the Web. By using regularly updated indexes that operate quickly and efficiently, search engines provide extremely accurate results, making them a favorite among Web surfers.

In order to continue to drive traffic to your Web site, you will need to regularly submit your Web site details to these Web directories and search engines in order to make sure you continue to be near the top of a surfer's search list.

Other ways to get your Web site ready for a directory or search engine include:

  • Create a title for your Web page. When somebody uses a search engine to find a particular Web site, the search phrase is first matched to the titles of pages. This makes the title of your Web site very important, as a relevant title will put you at the top of a person's search results.
  • Create Meta Tags for all your Web pages. Meta Tags are HTML codes placed at the top of a Web page that provide a list of keywords and phrases relevant to the page. They are used by search engines to help match your page with keywords used by Web surfers.
  • Create keywords. Keywords are an important element of driving people to your Web site. Keywords should be words that surfers will use to conduct searches. There are tools available like "Overture" or "Wordtracker" that can help you create a list of the right keywords used by surfers.

Do not overwhelm your Web site with keywords, however, as directories and search engines will view your page as a spam site. In addition, it is not suggested that you "hide" keywords, such as competitors' names, by making them the same color as the background of your site. Search engines are no longer fooled by this trick and are dropping Web pages that use this tactic.

Web Advertising

Advertising on the Web is much like traditional newspaper and billboard advertising. Appealing, catchy ads are used to attract potential customers who may not know about your company. Many companies use "banner ads," which are much like a smaller version of a highway billboard, except that Web surfers can click on the ad to be taken to your Web site. Banner ads should look professional to help set them apart from other ads and help make a good first impression.

Traditional Advertising

Viewers of the most recent Super Bowl found themselves asking one thing - What is godaddy.com? The on-line company used a catchy commercial to entice viewers to check out its Web site, and for the second year in a row it seemed to pay off. The site's traffic during the game increased by more than 1,500 percent, compared to the average of the four previous Sundays, according to ComScore Networks.

Using traditional advertising such as television, radio, magazines, direct mailings and billboards, is an excellent way to drive traffic to your Web site, especially if you have a local Web site that only needs to reach a particular market. Even national Web sites, which may have a larger advertising budget, can use traditional advertising to their advantage. Companies such as eBay, Godaddy and Yahoo continue to run million-dollar television ads to help attract, and maintain, new Web users.

Building Links

Having a link to your site on another related site is a great way to increase your Web traffic. If you find a Web site you think is comparable to yours, send them an e-mail explaining your interest. Just make sure the site you request your link on is reputable, as it will be a reflection of you.

Print Materials

An easy way to promote your Web site is to use what you've already got. Make sure your Web address is on all of your printed materials, including business cards, letterhead, envelopes, etc. If you have been using direct mailers to advertise your brick and mortar location, add your Web site address to those mailers. This is an easy way to promote your Web site by using what you already have.

Press Releases

Generating publicity through press releases is a proactive and inexpensive approach to driving traffic to your Web site. If you have something that is newsworthy, such as an upcoming charitable event or a new, unique product, then the media may be apt to picking up your story through a well-crafted press release.

While we all hate traffic in the real world, it is your best friend in cyberspace. Making use of all of your available tools can boost your number of hits and your sales. Even though a Web site is a store of the future, you've still got the same goals as the oldest company on the block: get 'em in, get 'em shopping.

Today’s Flowers: Zinnia

zinnia bud
I prefer zinnias before they are at full bloom, like in this opening bud. I planted these zinnias from seed (I started them in little containers outside my kitchen door in late spring). I got the seeds for free at the Highland Park Street Fair.

zinnias in my garden
Here they are in my garden, along with orange marigolds and white mums.

Today’s Flowers is hosted by Luiz Santilli Jr. Thank you, Luiz, for featuring flower followers who share photos in a fun fashion.

Terms and Conditions

Status: 19.07.2018

General Terms and Conditions of ITA Shipping GmbH, hereinafter referred to as: LetMeShip

1. Area of application
These General Terms and Conditions (T&Cs) are an integral part of all contracts concluded with LetMeShip via the booking platform operated by LetMeShip. The special conditions contained in clause 24 of these T&Cs shall take precedence over the other regulations in these T&Cs for contracts subject to the regulations stated in that clause.

The booking platform can be accessed online at the Internet address www.LetMeShip.com/de. These T&Cs apply regardless of which user interface is used for the booking platform; they also apply in particular if access to the booking platform is not via a browser, but via a software interface from another program.

Insofar as LetMeShip commissions a carrier for transport with the knowledge of the customer, the general terms and insurance conditions shall apply in the version that is valid at the time the order is placed, in addition to LetMeShip’s T&Cs. In the event of deviations, the regulation that is more favourable to LetMeShip shall apply in each specific case.

2. Relationship to other regulations
In the event that the provisions of these T&Cs deviate from statutory provisions or applicable binding international agreements, the provisions of these T&Cs shall take precedence. In addition, the relevant statutory regulations and the relevant regulations of international agreements shall apply, e.g. the International Convention on the Contracts for the Carriage of Goods by Road (CMR), the Montreal Convention, the Convention concerning International Carriage by Rail (COTIF) etc.

The T&Cs of LetMeShip and the relevant conditions of the carriers shall take precedence over any terms and conditions of the customer. Conflicting terms and conditions of contractual partners are only valid if LetMeShip has explicitly agreed to their application in writing. LetMeShip hereby explicitly rejects any standard reference to the contract partner’s own terms & conditions.

3. Booking procedure and conclusion of contract
The customer as Sender has the possibility to conclude contracts for the provision of transport services via the booking platform.

The platform offers an input mask in which the customer can enter the shipping specifications (e.g. pick-up and delivery location, dimensions, weight, desired pick-up and delivery date) for the shipment of one or more packages. Based on the customer’s request, LetMeShip lists the available individual shipping conditions (especially prices, estimated shipping time), together with the respective national and international transport company, courier and express company that would be commissioned by LetMeShip as the carrier depending on the shipping method.

By selecting a list entry and clicking the order button, the customer submits a binding offer to LetMeShip. A contract is only deemed concluded upon receipt of an order confirmation from LetMeShip. The sending of a dispatch label for the respective order to the customer is considered an order confirmation; this also applies if the respective carrier issues the dispatch label.

Transport contracts for goods that are excluded from transport according to section 4 shall not enter into effect.

LetMeShip and their carriers are not obliged to verify the correctness of information provided by the Sender.

4. Carriers
LetMeShip commissions the transport company selected by the customer according to clause 3 of these T&Cs as the carrier to carry out transport services.

5. Goods that are excluded from transport
With the exception of special deliveries that are individually agreed upon with the Sender, the following goods are excluded from transport:
– goods that are subject to national or international regulations concerning dangerous goods (e.g. by IATA);
– goods that due to their nature or packaging may pose a threat to human beings, other transported goods or other things;
– goods that require special safety measures or official approval;
– goods whose shipment, transport or storage is banned in the sending, destination or in a transit country or is a violation of export or import bans or any other legal regulations;
– prohibited articles as defined in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No. 2320/2002 of the European Parliament and the Council dated 16th December 2002 on common rules in the field of civil aviation security (Regulation (EC) No 2320/2002);
– means of payment, telephone and prepaid cards, pecuniary documents and transferable securities (e.g. money, credit cards, cheques, savings books, bills of exchange, securities);
– items of extraordinarily high value (e.g. works of art, unique items, antiques, securities, precious stones, precious metals, genuine pearls, postage stamps, coins);
– all types of motor vehicles;
– live animals and plants, animal remains, human body parts or mortal remains;
– narcotics and pharmaceuticals, weapons and explosives, food products and alcohol, frozen goods, tobacco products;
– radioactive substances and nuclear fuel (if in excess of statutory exemption limits);
– weapons and ammunition (with the exception of hunting and sports weapons and ammunition);
– explosive goods pursuant to section 1.1 of the Ordinance on the Transport of Dangerous Goods by Sea;
– drugs to which the Act on the Traffic in Narcotic Drugs (Opium Act) dated 10th December 1969, as amended, applies;
– glass, porcelain etc. and delicate electronics, used or damaged goods;
– mobile phones;
– goods that are of low value in themselves but whose loss or damage may lead to significant consequential damage (e.g. data carriers with sensitive information);
– consignments with the postage “freight collect”.
– No valid transport contract shall enter into effect for items that are excluded from transport.
– Perishable or temperature-sensitive goods that are not excluded from transport due to the provisions listed above shall be transported at the Sender’s risk; there shall be no special handling.
– Document shipping is not available for consignments that require a customs declaration. Goods shipping must be selected for such goods.

6. Prices, due date, customer default
The prices agreed in each case apply to the transport of the package(s) with the specifications provided by the customer. The transport prices calculated by LetMeShip and contractually agreed are based on the information provided by the Sender during the booking process.

If the specifications of the consignment differ from the information provided by the customer in the booking process, the customer shall owe the price resulting from the actual consignment specifications in the price list of the carrier designated by the Sender on the day of booking, provided that this price is higher than the price calculated in the booking process. As a rule, LetMeShip grants a discount on the list price even in this case of retro-billing, but the customer is not entitled to such a discount.

The agreed prices do not contain government fees, customs duties, tax or any other duties.

Payment of the agreed prices for the transport is due immediately after completion of the respective booking.

If the customer does not pay within 7 days after the due date and receipt of an invoice, they are in default without the need for a reminder. The invoice is considered received three working days after the invoice date, unless another date is proven by the Sender or the Recipient. LetMeShip is obliged to send the invoice no later than the day following the invoice date.

In the event of default, the customer is obliged to pay the statutory default interest.

Cash on delivery services are not available.

7. Expenses
LetMeShip is entitled to a lump-sum reimbursement of expenses for the following services per individual case to the amount specified, plus the statutory value added tax:

– Invoice correction due to customer number entered incorrectly by the customer: EUR 7.50

– Invoice in paper form at the customer’s request: EUR 2.50

– Subsequent bookings that are not made via the LetMeShip portal: EUR 5.00

– Customs clearances: EUR 2.50

If LetMeShip is liable to third parties for government fees, customs duties, taxes and other charges in connection with the transport of the customer’s cargo, the customer shall release LetMeShip from this liability. This does not apply to fines, penalties or other public payment obligations that are not attributable to the customer.

If a shipment cannot be delivered, the customer shall bear all costs arising from the return or disposal and shall release LetMeShip from such costs.

In all other respects, LetMeShip is entitled to reimbursement of expenses in accordance with the statutory provisions.

8. Additional services
If the customer commissions or arranges for further expenses or services, e.g. proof of delivery, insurance, transport in case of oversized goods, preparation of an export declaration etc., they shall reimburse LetMeShip the prices charged by the respective carrier, which are based on the carrier’s current price lists.

Collection and delivery is generally not available on Saturday, Sunday and public holidays.

9. Obligations of the Sender
The customer or a third party is obliged to keep the consignment ready for dispatch at the contractually agreed collection time or the collection time specified by LetMeShip and to hand it over at an easily accessible location.

Paragraphs 410 and 411 of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch) must be observed. The goods are to be packed by the customer in such a way that no damage can occur to packages, including those of third parties, during the normal course of things, provided these are also properly packed.

In particular, the number, weight and dimensions of the packaged consignment must correspond to the information provided to LetMeShip and must not be an object excluded from transport within the meaning of section 5.

At the request of LetMeShip or the carrier used by LetMeShip, the Sender is obliged to issue a consignment note. In this respect, the statutory provisions apply.
The recipient’s address must be specified in the shipping order and on the consignment note, written in the way that is customary for the country of destination.

Shipments for which only a PO Box, a parcel station or similar depot is indicated do not entitle the customer to shipment, but LetMeShip still reserves the right to carry out shipment.

The Sender undertakes to inform LetMeShip and its carriers of all special, non-obvious characteristics of the consignment which are likely to have a significant effect on the provision of the service.

The Sender authorises the carrier that is commissioned by LetMeShip to carry out the required customs procedures. LetMeShip is entitled to grant authorisation to the respective carrier. The Sender is obliged to provide LetMeShip and the carriers with all information required to complete the customs formalities and to provide the necessary documents.

The Sender must attach to the cargo all documents and information required in each individual case and ensure that they comply with all applicable customs regulations and the Sender must provide LetMeShip and its carriers with the necessary information and documents required to comply with customs regulations during transport.

10. Transport obligation

The customer is entitled to transport of the respective transport goods.

The customer is not entitled to transport of the transport goods if the recipient is a natural or legal person or an organisation that is on a list of sanctions and embargoes of the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) or an intergovernmental or supranational organisation recognised as binding by the FRG. The customer also has no claim to transport of the transport goods if the respective goods are a consignment excluded from transport within the meaning of these T&Cs (section 5) or within the meaning of the terms of use for the shipping platform.

11. Delivery times
The shipment times determined via LetMeShip are stated in working days (Monday to Friday) and are of an indicative nature, unless a particular delivery date is explicitly agreed, e.g. express deliveries. If a certain delivery period is expressly agreed, it begins with the actual acceptance of the consignment by LetMeShip or the respective carrier, unless the acceptance of the consignment is delayed for reasons for which LetMeShip or the respective carrier is responsible.

12. Non-acceptance or abandonment of transport
LetMeShip and their carriers reserve the right to exclude from transport any consignments that contain items for which the customer is not entitled to transport, to abandon the transport of such consignments and/or to hand these over to official bodies.

This shall also apply for consignments whose contents or packaging poses a threat to human beings or means of transportation or that may cause damage to other transported goods.

13. Performance of transport
LetMeShip and their carriers are free to choose the route, means and type of transport, including in deviation from the specifications included in the consignment note.

Permitted dimensions, weights, prices and services are based on the scope of services and the mode of transport selected by the Sender.
Instructions issued by the Sender after a consignment has been handed over do not have to be observed. § 418 sections 1 to 5 and § 419 of the German Civil Code (Bundesgesetzbuch) shall not apply.

LetMeShip is not obliged to verify whether a consignment contains items that are excluded from transport or contains perishable or temperature-sensitive goods or whether it requires a customs declaration.

14. Right of inspection and correction
LetMeShip, its carriers, regulated agents within the meaning of Regulation (EC) No. 2320/2002 and any state authority, in particular the customs authorities, are authorised, but not obliged, to open and inspect the consignments handed over if there is a justified interest in doing so or if there is a risk of delay.

LetMeShip reserves the right to correct any detected weight or volume deviations in the consignment note. The Sender’s sole liability for the correctness of their declarations shall remain unaffected.

15. Delivery
LetMeShip is obliged to deliver the consignment to the recipient or to the recipient’s authorised representatives if they can prove their power of representation. The consignment shall be delivered, with exempting effect for LetMeShip, to any person that is present at the recipient’s business or private household address that is specified as the destination address, provided that there is no justified doubt as to their authority to receive the goods. Shipments to recipients in shared facilities (e.g. hospitals) may be handed over to employees of the facility with discharging effect. If the recipient of a consignment is a natural person and not a merchant, the consignment may also be delivered with discharging effect to immediate neighbours of the recipient.

If neither the recipient nor a person representing the recipient who is able to prove their right of representation can be found at the recipient’s premises during a delivery attempt and if no other delivery with discharging effect is made, this delivery attempt shall be deemed to have failed. In this case, either another delivery attempt shall be made or the recipient shall be notified of the failed delivery and of a possibility of picking up the consignment within a reasonable period. This depends on the conditions of the respective carrier commissioned by LetMeShip.

The proper delivery can also be proved with the digital signature of the recipient or another person to whom the item can be handed over with discharging effect or the digital reproduction of such a signature.

If the consignment cannot be delivered to the recipient or a proven representative thereof due to reasons beyond LetMeShip and its vicarious agents’ control, the consignment shall be considered undeliverable. Undeliverable consignments shall be returned to the Sender at the Sender’s expense. Upon LetMeShip’s request, the customer is obliged to immediately collect undeliverable shipments from the place where they are located.

If an undeliverable shipment cannot be returned to the Sender, LetMeShip is entitled to open it. In the event that the Sender does not accept a return delivery or if returning the consignment is not possible for any reason, LetMeShip shall have the right to use, destroy or sell the consignment. If the proceeds of the sale exceed LetMeShip’s expenses, the customer is entitled to the surplus.

16. Right of lien and retention
LetMeShip has a lien and a right of retention on all goods or other values under its control on account of all claims arising from other freight contracts concluded with the Sender, whether based on the freight contract or undisputed claims. The right of lien and retention shall be limited to the statutory right of lien and retention. The period of one month that is provided for in § 1234 of the German Civil Code (Bundesgesetzbuch) shall be replaced by a period of two weeks.

If the Sender is in arrears, LetMeShip can, after the threat of sale has been issued, sell such a quantity of the goods in its possession as is necessary to satisfy all claims at LetMeShip’s discretion.

17. Liability of the Sender
The Sender shall be liable for any direct and indirect damages that arise for LetMeShip or their carriers due to the Sender handing over consignments that are excluded from transport (section 4) or due to their culpable failure to fulfil their cooperation duties (section 5) at all, correctly or in full, unless the Sender is not responsible for the breach of duty.

The obligation to pay compensation includes any fines, penalties and costs for legal defence. In addition, the Sender is liable for all direct and indirect damages resulting from their culpable breaches of duty, especially in the case of breaches of duties arising from these T&Cs, unless the Sender is not responsible for the breach of duty. The liability also extends to the conduct of the Sender’s agents and vicarious agents and to the fact that the Sender is entitled to carry out the transport of the consignments.

The Sender shall exempt LetMeShip from any claims of third parties, if and insofar as such claims can be attributed to the fact that the Sender has violated their duties and obligations according to these T&Cs or if a third party asserts rights to the consignment.

In case of deviations, the Sender is obliged to reimburse LetMeShip for any additional costs that may arise.

18. Liability of LetMeShip
LetMeShip is liable for the total or partial loss or damage of the consignment during transport as well as for exceeding the delivery deadline, subject to mandatory legal provisions, in accordance with the following paragraphs:

For contracts for shipment of a consignment, LetMeShip’s liability in the event of loss, partial loss or damage to the consignment shall be limited to 2 special drawing rights (SDR) per kilogram gross weight, in deviation from § 449 section 1 of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch).

A special drawing right is the unit of account used by the International Monetary Fund. The amount in euros is based on the value of the euro on the day the consignment was accepted for shipping or on a date agreed upon by the parties. The value shall be determined in accordance with the method of calculation used by the International Monetary Fund for its operations and transactions on the day in question.

Liability for non-compliance with delivery times is limited to three times the value of the cargo. Liability for non-compliance with delivery times shall be excluded for letters and letter-like consignments.

If and to the extent that the carrier designated by the Sender grants the right under certain conditions to reclaim the freight price in whole or in part, LetMeShip hereby assigns to the Sender in advance all claims in this respect against the carrier, provided that the contractual or legal requirements for the claim are met. The conditions under which the carrier grants freight reimbursement can be viewed at LetMeShip or taken directly from the terms and conditions of the respective carrier.

Time matters

Liability of LetMeShip for damages during transport of consignments that are excluded from transport (section 5) shall be excluded. LetMeShip is also not liable for any damage that occurs due to insufficient packaging by the Sender. Furthermore, liability shall be excluded for damage caused by third parties, force majeure, atmospheric influences, failure of appliances, impact by other goods, damage due to animals, changes that occur naturally to the transported goods, aggravated theft or robbery, unless evidence can be provided that LetMeShip has culpably caused the damage.

The compensation of all damages exceeding the direct damage, in particular for indirect damages and consequential costs, such as purely economic losses, loss of profit, loss of business opportunities or loss of turnover as well as expenses for compensation, is excluded. The legal disclaimers and liability restrictions such as § 425 section 2, § 427, § 432 sentence 2 of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch) and article 17 section 4, article 18 of the CMR shall also apply. Furthermore, LetMeShip shall not be liable for damage caused due to the inspection of a consignment, provided that such an inspection is legally permitted.

LetMeShip is not liable for any action or omission of the customer or the customs authorities.

Relief from and / or restriction of liability regarding direct or indirect damages shall not apply, if and to the extent that a damage is the result of careless or wilful injury to life, the human body or health or in the event that an essential contractual duty was carelessly or wilfully violated by LetMeShip. Essential duties in this context shall refer to such duties that are intended to protect the Sender’s legal positions that are significant to the contract, i. e. without which performance of the contract would not be possible and compliance with which the Sender regularly relies on and may rely on (cardinal duties). LetMeShip is also liable for its legal representatives and vicarious agents, including in particular the carriers used by LetMeShip.

In addition to determining safety standards for shipments, the specification of the value of a consignment to LetMeShip is required for verifying value thresholds for customs purposes. Specification of the consignment’s value does not increase liability and it is also not considered a declaration of the Sender’s particular interest in the consignment.

Depending on the selected mode of shipment, the Sender can take out transport insurance by paying an appropriate additional charge or instruct LetMeShip to take out appropriate insurance on behalf of the Sender and on their account. The insurance covers the Sender’s interest in the respective conditional consignment against the risks of loss and damage with the agreed sum insured per consignment. In case of doubt, the insurance conditions of the respective carrier shall apply, which can be viewed via the multi-user platform.

19. Assertion of claims
Notifications of damage must be made in text form within the statutory periods and, in the case of separately insured shipments, immediately after delivery. The damage incurred must be specifically described and verified by suitable documents.

If the consignment is not delivered, the damage must be reported immediately, as soon as the goods are to be considered lost. This is the case if it is not delivered within the delivery period or within a further period corresponding to the delivery period, but at least twenty days, or thirty days in the case of international consignment.

In order for LetMeShip to examine a claim for damages, the Sender must make the contents, shipping cartons and packaging of the consignment available to LetMeShip or, on the instructions of LetMeShip, to the respective carrier for inspection.

20. Transfer and offsetting of claims
The Sender does not have the right to transfer any claims against LetMeShip to third parties. Offsetting claims of the customer against LetMeShip is excluded, unless these claims are undisputed or legally binding.

Insofar as LetMeShip is liable to the customer for damages, the customer hereby assigns to LetMeShip in advance any claims to which he is entitled against third parties arising from the circumstances giving rise to liability.

21. Limitation period
Any claims regarding the shipment shall lapse pursuant to § 439 of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch), or in the case of cross-border transportation pursuant to the respective convention (e.g. art. 32 of the CMR). The statutory limitation periods shall apply for any claims that are not subject to the aforementioned limitation periods.

22. Data protection
LetMeShip guarantees that the personal data arising in connection with the transport will only be collected, processed, stored and used in connection with the processing of the contractual relationship. LetMeShip is entitled to transmit the data to partners commissioned by LetMeShip to carry out the order, insofar as this is necessary in order to fulfil the rights and obligations arising from the contractual relationship. LetMeShip guarantees that the valid data protection regulations are complied with. Further details follow from the Privacy Policy.

23. Applicable law and jurisdiction
Substantive German law shall apply for any disputes that arise from and in connection with the contract, to the exclusion of any conflict of laws.

The sole place of jurisdiction for all disputes is Hamburg. If the dispute lies within the material jurisdiction of a district court, the District Court of Hamburg Mitte shall have exclusive jurisdiction.

24. Severability clause
Should any provision of these T&Cs be or become invalid, either in part or in full, the effectiveness of the remaining provisions shall not be affected. The invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid provision that comes as close as possible to the economic purpose of the invalid provision. The same applies to loopholes.

25. Special conditions of LetMeShip SaaS
For customers with a “LetMeShip SaaS” contract, the following deviations and additions apply:

The conclusion of a “LetMeShip SaaS” contract requires that the customer maintains existing framework agreements with one or more transport companies with which LetMeShip cooperates (hereinafter: Contractual Companies).

Insofar as the customer’s entries on the booking platform indicate the shipping conditions of a customer’s contractual company, these conditions are based on the respective general agreement between the customer and the contractual company.

If the customer initiates an order with a contractual company during the booking process, this does not constitute an offer to LetMeShip, contrary to clause 3 of these T&Cs, but a declaration to the respective contractual company. In this case LetMeShip acts as a messenger and receiver for the customer and for the contractual company.

Notwithstanding clause 2 of these T&Cs, the T&Cs of the contractual company take precedence over these T&Cs for contracts concluded in this way (hereinafter: SaaS freight contracts) with the contractual company.

Clause 4 of these T&Cs shall not apply to SaaS freight contracts, as in such contracts the contractual company acts directly as carrier towards the customer.

With SaaS freight contracts, LetMeShip is not responsible for transporting the shipment, but for the automated transmission of the respective declarations of the customer and the contractual company via IT interfaces. LetMeShip is only liable in the event of incorrect or omitted transmission of the respective declarations due to technical unavailability of the IT infrastructure provided by the respective contractual companies if LetMeShip or its vicarious agents are responsible for the technical unavailability. The contractual companies are not considered LetMeShip’s vicarious agents.

Notwithstanding clause 8 of these T&Cs, Saturday, Sunday and holiday pick-ups may also be agreed within the framework of SaaS freight contracts.

Insofar as deviating provisions have been made in a SaaS contract, these provisions shall take precedence over the provisions in these T&Cs, including those of this clause 24.

In all other respects, the regulations contained in these T&Cs with respect to carriers shall apply mutatis mutandis with respect to the contractual company, insofar as the T&Cs of the contractual company do not contain any applicable regulations.

3 Ways to Forecast For Executives

No matter what stage of your career, forecasting for executives can be a daunting task. What data should you show them and how will you prove the value of all those smart recruiting tools you invested in this year?

We teamed up with Amanda Bell, Director of Recruiting at Lever, to come up with three ways to help you forecast and prove the value of your recruiting as you close out the year.

1. Prove the value of your candidate experience

The candidate’s experience is the first impression of your employer brand. Ensuring that you have a strong experience and top executive interview questions can make all the difference in helping you win over top candidates. Some metrics we recommend tracking in order to share with your executive team are efficiency in scheduling, speed in moving candidates through your talent pipeline, hiring manager feedback and platform adoption, follow up survey results, and candidate NPS scores.

Candidate experience specialists, a hybrid role of managing candidate logistics and the onsite interview experience, can also help improve these metrics and make movement on any problematic results you see as you head into the coming year. Studies show that if you don’t have a strong onboarding experience, it can greatly impact morale later. Ensuring your job descriptions include any milestones or key success metrics for the role can make all the difference. Only about about half of employees strongly agree that they know what is expected of them at work, according to a Gallup 2015 study on annual reviews.

Medallia was able to prove the value of smart recruiting tools after implementing Lever. Some key results that they saw were a 2X increase in interviews scheduled, 43 percent increase in sourced hires, and a 33 percent increase in their candidate NPS scores.

2. Know your existing headcount needs by department

At Lever, one of our core values is to “Choose Reality.” This comes into effect as it relates to headcount planning as well. Questions we ask each team are: do you really need to hire this person? Could we still get the value that role would bring through internal maneuvering to save on budget? Who else could we hire in place of this role? Evaluating all options and ensuring hiring managers create the case and impact plan for new hires helps manage expectations early.

The reporting within Lever Hire and Lever Talent Intelligence can also provide robust details and trends that recruiting leaders and executives can dig into. An overview of the pipeline funnel in terms of applicants and screenings taking place are just a few metrics that can help give executives the lay of the land in terms of how many hires and the time it takes by department to hire the right candidate.

If you need agency resources, evaluate this as a cost versus benefit to the organization. Ask yourself if you are using the right recruiting platforms and if your recruiters can run solo, or if adding a recruiting coordinator (or candidate experience specialist!) will help you. Aligning headcount to the value to the organization will help you prove your case of why it’s a great decision to make this hire for the business.

3. Utilize marketing metrics to show the value in sourcing

Lever Nurture provides the ability to customize your email nurture campaigns and send automated follow up messages to candidates, as well as send email templates on behalf of executives. You can discover which email templates work best, average open rates and click rates, as well as which cadence of sends works to encourage a response. According to Lever’s Science of Sourcing Report in 2018, clients using Lever Nurture typically see that 99 percent of those that respond do so by the third email sent. Recruiters who wear a marketing hat and build a strong email series can quickly win the race for top talent.

What information do executives like to see most?

  • Candidates in offer stage (i.e. late stage candidates)
  • Drop off in the interview process
  • Number of active applicants (if low, why?)
  • Talent brand metrics
  • Visits to career site
  • Recruiter efficiency (i.e. how many calls do they have to make to net one hire?)
  • Attrition rates over time (i.e. any terminations or potential resourcing to get in front of)
  • Compensation and equity rates for new hires

Ensuring that you have a solid forecast and plan can help you organize your hiring goals for the coming year. Be sure to structure your metrics and dive in by department as these metrics can greatly vary across the organization. Meeting regularly and having solid platforms to lean on for reporting and strong data can help. Don’t be hesitant to meet with your CFO and talk about headcount planning and budgeting sooner rather than later. It will help you earn a seat at the table and prove your value in strong hires for the organization for years to come.

Life, Sex and Relationships Sun, 17 Feb 2019 06:54:18 +0000 Joomla! - Open Source Content Management en-gb I wish my ex had done that with me!!

How many times have you had a partner for a while and there are things she does or does not do that drives you crazy? seriously, imagine having a dollar for every time you thought "I wish she would..." or "I wish she wouldn't..." ???

We spend a lot of time thinking shit like this in relationships. In the beginning she can be perfect, doin' no wrong, goin' about her time as wonderfully as anything you ever experienced,,, then all of a sudden you start noticing these wee things that start to eventually drive you nuts. They say that the things you absolutely love in the beginning are the things that drive you crazy in the end... how funny and yet how true.

Then the best part is they go on to someone else and all those things you wished they had done for you or for the relationship they are now doing with that new person! And we get all mad about it!! All the things we wanted, they do for someone else! What the F is that shit????

I guess if we get our collective heads out of our lesbian and bisexual asses we'd see that it's really just the natural progression of personal growth. Of course they are going to do all those tings with someone else. Who wants to make the same mistakes all the time? It is actually a credit to you that this ex now steps up and makes her new thing perfect...or better than it was with you. It's called learning.

My first gf, she was a huge red wine lover. I couldn't stand the smell of it let alone the taste of it. She would be so frustrated with me, so pissed that i wouldn't even try! And i wouldn't try. I was so sure I didn't like it that i just didn't go a step further to learn the tastes of red wine that would have thrilled her. I didn't do it for her. I only thought of me.

I asked her to go to Pride with me. She refused. She was closeted and didn't want to be on the news or out with a lot of other gay folks. Death by association so to speak.

So we break up after five or so years and go on to other women. I learn how great red wine is with P and she learns how fun it is to be at Pride with D. And how pissed we were at each other for not doing those things for us! How stoopid. Of course she should have gone to Pride with D. It meant her coming out of her self-imposed closet and getting out there and being free and unique and herself.

For me, of course i should grow, and learn and experience different things in wine. We both learned from our downfalls with each other that we could correct what didn't work and make it right with the next partner.

So if you see your ex doing something you absolutely begged her to do for you, and she is now happily doing that with someone else, try to put the "it's all about me" thang aside and be happy that there is now a period of growth. Lesbians can be so hard and bitter. It's hard to put aside those feelings of resentment. But dang, it is so healthy to do it for yourself.

Stop the "oh, great, NOW she f'ing does __________." Try to replace it with "As much as i wish X had ____________ with me, I am so happy that she at least is experiencing what it was I needed and wanted from her. At least there is growth in life and betterment, no matter which person she learns it with."

Easy? no.....

Better? oh yes!

Lesbians are the biggest promisers on the planet. We're always promising to this and that in new relationships. If one more woman tells me I am her soulmate, or the love of her life, I swear I will either retch or run screaming. Don't say that shit til you're in it for a long time.

Broken hearts really really suck. Cause some of us stoopidly believe that crap.

Well, we do!

So save that nice stuff for when it's real.

Crusin' down the highway of relationships!
