Oklahoma City, OG&E working to fix, update street lights

OKLAHOMA CITY - “Actually I’ve been seeing going down some highways sometimes, every now and then there will be a section of lights out,” said Oklahoma City Resident Brian Ware.

Street light outages: a problem leaders with Oklahoma City and OG&E have been trying to fix.

Tuesday at a city council meeting, they gave us an update on their repairs.

“Several months ago, it was noted that there was a lot of copper theft in OKC… we were wrestling with issues on the highway that weren’t due to just natural outage,” said Director of Public Works Eric Wendger.

Five locations are still in the dark.

“Interstate 40 from I-44 to I-35, this also includes a portion of the blvd lighting,” said Wendger.

Another outage at Reno and the Tinker Diagonal, due to new copper theft.

Police have launched six investigations into those recent cases.

“It’ll be dark sometimes you can’t even see the lines in the streets,” said Ware. “Maybe if they were lit up a little better it’d be easier to navigate around."

City leaders say construction is the reason for most of the outages.

“I-240 and I-35 and then the final two that are on this list, again related to construction by ODOT, I-44 between 235 to Lincoln and I-44 southbound to westbound bridge at 39th expressway,” said Wendger.

As repairs continue, workers are also busy converting all 250,000 street lights to L.E.D.

“The advantage of doing that with LED lights is that they actually have a digital controller on top of them, so we have two-way communication between the light and our control center so if the light goes out we will know it and we know where it is,” said OGE spokesperson Kathleen O'Shea.

One set back, with the pedestrian lights a part of Project 180.

City leaders are still waiting on parts to replace the pedestrian lights, street lights are on track to finish in September.

38 out of the total 158 pedestrian lights have been replaced.

When it comes to street lights in Project 180, 74 out of the 169 have been replaced.

O'Shea says the cost, more expensive up front but better in the long run.

“They may be a little more expensive to start with but again they prove out because they last longer,” she said.

OG&E says they're estimating about 3 years before all lights can be replaced with L.E.D.

Chris Young headed to the Big Apple on Wednesday (Aug. 8) to not only stop by the set of Good Morning America, but to make a visit to the set of Live With Kelly and Ryan where he performed his new single, "Hangin’ On."

Regular host Kelly Ripa wasn’t there to enjoy the sweet country sounds — she was on vacation — but fill-in host Maria Menounos along with regular host Ryan Seacrest seemed quite pleased to welcome the star to their stage.

Wearing an all-black ensemble, Young started off the performance with his distinctive sly smile, and then went on to tear into the song which is featured on his current album Losing Sleep.

Chris Young Has One of the Sexiest Voices in Country

A trip to New York can tire anyone out, but Young is just starting what should be a busy weekend of concert dates, including stops in, not coincidentally, New York and West Virginia. From there, the Grand Ole Opry member will prep for the start of his Losing Sleep World Tour next month, including a much-anticipated show at Nashville's own Bridgestone Arena on Sept. 22. Young will be joined on tour by openers Dan + Shay, Morgan Evans and Dee Jay Silver.

“I would love to say, ‘Yes, I always knew,’ but the truth is I didn’t,” Young says in a recent interview about if he ever dreamed he would be this successful. “I was, and I still am, excited that I get to play music for a living, That’s an incredibly humbling and lucky thing when that’s what you want to do and people like your music and show enough to make that a possibility.”

A former southeast Missouri pastor has been convicted of plotting the ultimately foiled killing of his wife in a planned house fire.

The Dexter Daily Stateman reports that a Stoddard County jury convicted 70-year-old Donald Lafferty of counts of attempted murder, arson, armed criminal action and financial exploitation of the elderly.

Prosecutors say Lafferty agreed to pay Brandi and Christopher Hicks $15,000 to set fire to his home in January 2013, and another $5,000 if his wife died in the fire.

The fire badly damaged the home but Mildred Lafferty awoke and escaped. She has since divorced her husband.

Donald Lafferty remains jailed without bond, pending sentencing scheduled for March 9.

Out to the Ballgame

We were able to visit PNC Park and watch the Nationals take on the Pirates on Sunday afternoon. It was a beautiful day at the ballpark for the kids to take some pictures and learn about the finer points of Major League Baseball. You know, things like the free giveaway, the Great Pierogi Race, and a bench-clearing brawl.

Across the River

The Bucs ended up losing 10-7, but it was still a great afternoon of baseball.

More pictures from the Nats @ Pirates (both ours and the kids) are on Flickr.

Indiana Bobtail Phys-Dam Coverage

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Bobtail Phys-Damestimates that there are more than 50,000 heavy and tractor-trailer truck drivers in the state of Indiana. Many of those drivers are owner-operators who rely on their trucks for their livelihood. If you drive as an owner-operator, you need to protect yourself and your equipment whenever you’re not under dispatch.

Many owner-operators have both bobtail and bobtail phys-dam coverage, because they are often written as two parts of the same policy. Both have components of what truck owner-operators need. In this post, we’ll explore each type of coverage.

Bobtail Coverage

Driving a semi without an attached trailer is frequently referred to as bobtailing or deadheading. Bobtail and deadhead insurance are the same. This type of liability coverage fills in the gaps when a driver is not under dispatch. For example, if a driver is traveling to and from the terminal without the trailer, bobtail insurance would cover the driver’s liability if an accident occurs when the driver is not under dispatch.

Bobtail Phys-Dam Coverage

If an owner-operator gets into an accident and the truck is totaled, bobtail phys-dam will help the driver replace the truck. This coverage is the value the driver will get back from the insurance company, less the deductible. For many truck drivers, having this type of insurance can mean the difference between getting back to business and struggling to make ends meet.

Checking the Boxes

Banks often require bobtail phys-dam coverage to cover the value of the loan if a driver has a lien or lease. This is especially important to consider if you’re trying to qualify to expand your trucking operation. Having bobtail/bobtail phys-dam coverage is also a requirement for working with some trucking companies, so having it in place can give owner-operators a competitive advantage.

Policies average between $2,000 and $3,000; pricing varies based on driving history. Some owner-operators are hesitant to take on bobtail coverage due to cost, but there are a variety of flexible payment options available. If you ever drive your truck anywhere when you’re not under dispatch, bobtail insurance is essential for protecting your business.

Indiana Bobtail Insurance

Kincaid Insurance, located in Rockport, Indiana, has been writing trucking insurance policies for more than twenty years. We know how important your truck is to your business, so we make it our business to help you protect it. At Kincaid, you’ll have an appointed office contact for your business needs. Should you ever need to provide proof of coverage, we can quickly provide a certificate of liability insurance for your records. We write truck policies in Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Ohio. Contact us today for a no-obligation bobtail phys-dam insurance quote.

Jeopardy! Champ James Holzhauer Donates Some of Winnings to Cancer Walk

2019 NHL Awards

James Holzhauer, the Jeopardy! champ who breezed through 32 games setting records and earning a grand total of $2,462,216, donated a portion of his winnings to a Chicago-area cancer walk in honor of host Alex Trebek, it was reported this week.

In March, the longtime Jeopardy! host announced he had been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer back. In a video posted online, Trebek admitted that his prognosis was "not very encouraging" but vowed to "beat the low survival rates for this disease."

In what would become Holzhauer's final episode on the show, Trebek thanked the champ's daughter for a homemade get-well card she had given him.

"I want to express my thanks to your beautiful little daughter, Natasha, for having made this get-well card for me," Trebek said. "That was very sweet of her."

Ann Zedker, who lives in Holzhauer's former hometown of Naperville, Illinois, was organizing the cancer walk and told CNN that she thought she would invite the Jeopardy! champ to the 2019 Naperville Pancreatic Cancer Research Walk scheduled for July 14. Holzhauer was unable to participate in the event, but he did write her a check in the amount of $1,109.14 - a seemingly strange amount until you realize that is his daughter's date of birth.

Holzhauer wrote, "For Alex Trebek and all the other survivors."

The cancer walk is organized by the Lustgardern Foundation, the largest private fundraiser for pancreatic cancer research. More than 50,000 Americans every year are diagnosed with the disease that has consistently low survival rates.

Trebek, who has hosted Jeopardy! since 1984, says he wants to finish the current season.

Abandoned suburbia

An ex-mansion-cum-retirement home lays abandoned and derelict.

It’s former inhabitants’ lives forgotten.

x Kitten of Doom

~ by Kitten of Doom on June 16, 2011.

5 Responses to “Abandoned suburbia”

  1. are these shot on film? they have beautifully soft tones.

    i really like suburbia02.

    • Nah I shot them on my Pentax SLR; 3 seconds of editing was involved afterwards. I’m experimenting with lowering the contrast instead of increasing it like I normally do 😉

  2. great photos, somethings amiss in surburbia….

  3. there’s an abandoned galvanised steel factory (fun for the whole family), access is pretty dicey as it’s a main rd. you can approach the factory from the ***** st end of ***** st where you stand a greater chance of gaining entry. i’ve been keen to have a crack at this place but it’s always pretty hot with security patrols and today was no different. be wary if trying to gain access via the ***** st end, the factory opposite has cameras mounted, hence trying the ***** st end. i would have been there all of 10 minutes before a red security guard car pulled up. me and the security bloke had a nice chat. place seems to be pretty popular as apparently they had the coppers and dogs out there last night. funnly enough prior to mr security rocking up i looked through a peep hole and there were a couple of people already in there, hope they didn’t get pinched. like you, i check out these places cos they’re good for photography, so this places is really pissing me off, it’s starting to become my white whale. anyway, if you check it out hope you have better luck than me, you might want to have someone as a lookout. oh and i should mention i think there’s a police inpound lot off ***** st too, so the boys in blue may not be too far away. i do like a challenge tho.

  4. would love to check this out, would you have the address? 🙂

Fresh Mackerel Stuffed with Haggis

… fresh mackerel stuffed with haggis, and served with three vegetable mash and whiskey sauce.

Trust me, this was wonderful!

fresh mackerel with haggis

It is difficult not to be decadent when my good friend ‘Winemaker Sarah’ (so called because she makes wine for a living, and I have many Sarah’s in my life) comes to stay. Sarah always arrives with a car full of delicious goodies from which we create weird and wonderful things. Two of the ingredients for this meal came from Sarah’s car – whiskey-infused cheese and, bizarrely, a swede.

The mackerel was from the reduced section of Tesco and was a whole 68p. Because it was in the reduced section it was already wrapped and I wrongly assumed that it was a couple of fillets – as it turned out I was glad that my mum brought me up to be able to gut fish!

The haggis came from the freezer, the last of the leftovers from Burns Night. I used the rest a few weeks ago wrapped in chicken and bacon. Yum.

This served three, despite only having one small fish (slightly biblical?) and I am at at loss to describe just how delicious it was.

  • One mackerel
  • a few tablespoons of haggis
  • flat leaved parsley
  • splash of lemon juice
  • splash of ginger wine
  • a small swede
  • two carrots
  • a few potatoes
  • 1/2 pint of milk
  • tablespoon of flour
  • whiskey-cheese

A ready gutted and filleted fish would be easiest to work with, but briefly a word on gutting fish:

Take a very sharp knife and carefully open up the belly of the fish from tail to head. Remove the innards then take the knife and use it to break the spine at the tail, gently lift the spine trying to bring as many of the little bones with it as possible. Rub the inside of the fish with course salt to clean it.

gutting and stuffing fish

Fill the cavity of the fish with the haggis and a couple of sprigs of parsley and then wrap snugly in foil. Bake in the bottom of the oven at 160oC for 25 minutes.

When you have put the fish in the oven chop the carrot and swede and bring to the boil. The potatoes won’t take as long to cook, so chop them and add them when the rest of the vegetables have been bubbling away for about five minutes. When each of the vegetables can be easily pierced with a fork drain and then mash them with some butter and pepper.

Because I have stripped my kitchen down to (less than) the bare essentials as part of the Basic Kitchen Project I put the vegetables to one side, cleaned the pan and then made white sauce.

Heat the milk slowly, do not allow it to boil. Put a heaped tablespoon of plain flour into a mug and add a splash or two of milk and mix to a paste. Pour some of the warm milk into the mug and mix thoroughly, then return the mixture to the pan. Maintain the low heat and stir the sauce as it thickens – keep a close eye on it! When it has begun to thicken crumble the cheese into the sauce and allow it to melt. If (like most people!) you don’t have a friend who rocks up at your house with whiskey cheese then you can add a tablespoon of whiskey to the sauce at this stage.

For the last five minutes turn up the oven to 200oC, open up the foil from around the fish and add a splash of lemon and of ginger wine then return to the oven for 5 minutes.

This one is a little difficult to cost, mostly because I cannot find where I wrote down the weight of the haggis which I used. The haggis was a ‘leftover’, but I appreciate that most people won’t have this kicking around at the back of their freezer! ‘Winemaker Sarah’ found the ginger wine while she was poking around in my drinks cabinet – a common occurrence when she comes to stay.

  • One mackerel – £0.68
  • a few tablespoons of haggis – ?
  • flat leaved parsley – from my garden
  • splash of lemon juice – ?
  • splash of ginger wine – ?
  • a small swede – this was a (bizarre) gift, but if I had bought it at Asda it would have been £0.50
  • two carrots – £0.30
  • a few potatoes – £0.30
  • 1/2 pint of milk – £0.25
  • tablespoon of flour – ?
  • whiskey-cheese – a gift. If I had used cheddar  I reckon it would have been about £0.30

So, not the best costing I have done as part of this project! I will go with it being approximately £2.30 plus gifts and leftovers – still, not too bad for a particularly decadent evening.

Blackmailing someone into carrying out the plan without divulging the secrets of the mission is his top priority, and Stephanie is the ideal choice. The young woman’s journey to exotic places leads to intrigue and terror when she discovers that she has been set up, and she finds herself engaged in a fierce and deceptive battle in which the prize is life.

“Hamid is anti-Western, and he lives behind a shield of armed guards, so getting close enough to make the hit presents a challenge. He is deeply entrenched in tradition, but he has one weakness.”

“And that is?” Barry questioned.

“He has a fascination with beautiful women.”

“I’m turning this job over to you, Kyle, but as far as I’m concerned, it’s impossible.”

“Not impossible,” Kyle replied with cool confidence. “Just a challenge.” Crushing his enemy was what Kyle did best. He leaned back in his chair with his arms folded behind his head to scheme the operation. He unlocked the drawer to his desk and pulled out a framed picture of Stephanie. He looked into her beautiful face and smiled triumphantly. You made a big mistake when you married Brian. Finally, the time was ripe and in his control.

“What’s going on here?”

“You’ve been set up, ladylove.”

“What are you talking about?”

“We need your help to carry out a dangerous operation. As I’m sure you already know, Saudi Arabia has closed its air base to our military. We need the base in order to put an end to this war, and we have every reason to believe that the Crown Prince would agree to let us occupy the base if given the ruling power. But first we need to take the king for a ride. That’s where you come in.”

“I really don’t have the time.” She headed for the door.

“Let me ask you something,” he called after her. “Did Brian make it to Turkey as scheduled?”

Stephanie’s steps came to a chilling halt. Everything suddenly made sense. Kyle was the one responsible for Brian receiving orders to Turkey. She swung around to face him.

“You’re much too beautiful to be standing there with your mouth hanging open,” he taunted her. “That’s one of the reasons you’re so perfect for this job – you’re a tantalizing beauty, and you’re an expert marksman, or should I say markswoman? You’re a crack shot.”

Stephanie’s skin sizzled with fierce anger. “So you’re the one responsible for taking Brian from me.”

“My sweet little Stephanie,” he said as he tossed back his head and laughed. “Sometimes you can be so naive. It was so easy to arrange for Brian’s timely departure. Think how easy it would be to arrange for his timely death.”

Stephanie’s insides screamed with alarm.

With jet-black hair, penetrating dark eyes, and a full rugged mouth, the king looked as commanding as his royal robes. She wondered if he could see the fear in her eyes.

“You are very beautiful,” he said. Stephanie didn’t like the hungry look in his eyes. “Come to me,” he ordered.

Stephanie stared at him, not knowing what to do. He was making a pass at her, and unless she wanted to jump out of a moving train and die of thirst in the desert, there was nowhere to run. She cautiously rose to her feet. He reached for her hand and pulled her down to his lap.

“Twice I have tried to kiss you,” he said as he ran his fingers through her hair. “And twice you have slipped away from me. I will not let you get away this time.”

“You’re flirting with me,” she said, pretending to be shocked to fend him off.

“No, I am all finished flirting.” He folded her body back into his arms and kissed her.

Stephanie wriggled out of his arms and jumped to her feet. Abdullah rose to his feet, reached for her arm, and turned her around to face him. “Why did you pull away from me? Surely you know by now how much I want you.”

Stephanie had to think of something fast.

Is a Lack of Financial Acumen Putting Your Company at Risk?

Massimo Massa, INSEAD Rothschild Chaired Professor of Banking, Professor of Finance  |

The owners and directors on your company’s board may be skilled in foresight and implementing strategy but are they financially astute enough to understand the risk?

Finance is not just about the ability to work numbers, it’s having the mindset to solve problems and understand the implication of strategies in terms of value creation and risk.

Traditionally, finance has been considered a technical part of running a company. Owners and directors have worked under the assumption it is a tool, a task, that can be delegated to the CFOs. The reality is that financial acumen is a critical element of value creation within a company. In fact, it’s probably the most important element as it gives owners and directors the ability to understand what type of risk revenue or risk/return trade-off they face.

Quantifying the risk/return trade-off

Ignorance – or lack of understanding – of this concept of finance at board level has been widespread not only in industrial and manufacturing sectors but among top players in the financial industry. The global financial crisis is evidence that the CEOs and board members of banking and insurance conglomerates were not clearly quantifying the risk/return trade-off on decisions they were backing, resulting in positions being taken that not only stymied value creation but in many cases led companies on a path to bankruptcy.

To implement better strategies it is critical that board members and owners understand the financial implication of what they are doing.

While it is possible to have many strategies to create value, and there may be an infinite number of positive solutions for a company, finance is the only way to quantify what the value creation of each actually is. Some strategies may increase profits, some may generate a bigger slice of the market share but at the same time they may completely destroy value because leaders don’t account for one critical factor – risk. It is finance that provides the ability and understanding of quantifying this risk and teasing out first order effect from second order effect when assessing true value.

Understanding the framework of value creation

A certain degree of financial acumen is vital for all owners and board members to understand the framework of value creation and the risk/return trade-off involved.  Effectively, it is a way of aligning and understanding the main driving force of value creation and, importantly, providing a hierarchy of objectives goals and a mission for the company.

Understanding the framework of value creation from a financial perspective and understanding finance as a tool to implement it are two very different concepts. Having a deep understanding of the definitive data on financial transactions is an expertise that some board members should possess, just as some should specialise in strategy and others in marketing – it is commonly understood that a good board is one made up of an array of diverse talents.

But a mental framework of value creation has to be understood by every board member otherwise it would be impossible to evaluate or understand a value proposition.

You could ask the question “is it necessary for everyone on a multinational board to be fluent in English?” While it’s not necessary for all members to write poetry in English, they must be all be conversant in the language. Similarly, the mental value creating framework is something every board member should know. It provides a means of communicating and setting the frame to brainstorm and solve problems. By understanding the financial implication of what they’re doing, directors and owners are better able to introduce strategies. By working from the same financial framework, board members will speak the same jargon and be better able to understand and communicate with each other.

The best boards are the ones in which everyone is fine-tuned and sitting at the same table.

A great article by the admin.. We at psychometrica personally feel that #financialacumen is a MUST because without technical know-how of the financial factors the financial decisions are just meaningless.So these finance managers should be tested using psychometrics

Corporate Governance in a Developing World

Jane Williams, Editor Knowledge Arabia |

As they shift towards more market-based economies, Arab companies can no longer afford to neglect demands for greater accountability and transparency in the boardroom.

Ten years ago there was no Arabic term for “corporate governance” in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) – a region dominated by family and state-owned enterprises.

Attention to governance was piecemeal. Companies had their own practices and policies addressing accountability and social responsibility but there were no regulatory precepts and little attention paid to details of transparency or conflict of interest – issues crucial to the running of a modern business.

Much has changed since then. Today 14 of the 17 MENA economies have a corporate code of some description and “hawkamah” (the recently coined Arabic word for governance) is becoming more than just a catchphrase. But while some countries are making great strides improving accountability and transparency, in many of the countries that need it most - those experiencing political, social and economic transition with an urgent need for foreign investment and jobs - the process has faltered.

Missed opportunity

“They’ve missed an opportunity,” says Nasser Saidi, Middle East economist and government reform advocate. “The Arab Spring – or Arab Firestorm as I call it – has pointed to waste, inefficiencies and lack of transparency in government and the public sector.” But despite the perfect timing - history has shown times of crisis present the perfect opportunity for policy change - new governments in these economies are failing to address the issues or pose them to the public.

There has been, says Saidi, too much focus and public debate on politics and not enough on the economy.

Saidi himself is not inexperienced in both the practicalities and the philosophy behind good economic practice. He’s been an economics professor (University of Chicago, Institut Universitaire de Hautes Etudes Internationales in Geneva), First Vice-Governor of the Lebanese Central Bank, Minister of Economy & Trade as well as Minister of Industry in Lebanon, a member of the UN Committee for Development Policy, and Chief Economist for the Dubai International Financial Corporation.

As the founder and former CEO of the Dubai-based Hawkamah Corporate Governance Institute, he has realistic expectations. “It’s going to be a long drawn-out process. The West is deluding itself if it thinks the issues can be addressed quickly… (but) we shouldn’t be impatient. What we’ve learned through (similar) processes in Eastern Europe, Asia and Latin America is that these things take time.”

While deep change in a political, societal and economic context could take five years (at least), integration of corporate governance into the local practice and business culture will take 10 years or more, says Ludo Van der Heyden, the Mubadala Professor of Corporate Governance and Strategy at INSEAD, noting effective management of these developments, and persistent and enlightened commitment of government and business leaders are essential for better practices to take root and become sustainable.

“One should not be too harsh, things are changing, but more effort and time will be required. Governance is an answer to a question, or to a set of questions – and one ought to know and be clear on what these questions are, and how they can best be answered, including what contribution must be made through changed regulation.”

“So far in the Gulf, a lot of changed banking regulation has been discussed – but then, somehow, banks were exempted from particular regulations.  This is one area where it will be useful for a clearer governance regime to exist.”

Governance is a cultural process

The trend towards more stringent corporate governance in the Middle East predates the economic crisis. It began in the early 2000s in response to an evolving financial sector, a shift towards market-based economies, international competitiveness and, in the case of family entities, a desire to shore up succession planning and create strong sustainable companies for future generations.

 “Successful companies want to internationalise,” insists Leonardo Peklar, Hawkamah’s current CEO, noting corporate governance is the noblesse oblige of the business world.

“Some people still understand corporate governance as a window dressing; they would like to do it as fast as possible but that never works. It’s a process, you have to embed it, anchor it in your culture.”

Capital market regulators and private sector-backed regional initiatives like the Hawkamah Institute and the Pearl Initiative have been instrumental in moving corporate governance across the Middle East and North Africa, from a vague idea into practice. They promote awareness and provide a “how-to” guide and a platform where companies and regulators can share ideas and their experiences implementing policies in the boardroom and workplace.

Family governance

For family businesses, the case for better governance is gaining traction as companies move into the third or fourth generation – a period when problems start. In the Middle East around 45 percent of companies still maintain a family-only board and with dozens of cousins involved there is great complexity in the algorithm of running the business.

Families have always looked with concern to demands for more board “independence”, notes Van der Heyden. “The challenge is to make families firms - whether they are European, Singaporean or from the Gulf - understand that having outsiders who are not afraid to speak their mind leads to better business decisions.”

The introduction of very basic policies relating to dividends, employment of family members, investments, conflict-resolution and boardroom composition will give companies a much greater chance of sustainability, adds Peklar.

Influence runs deep

The Hawkamah Institute provides analysis, research and technical assistance to family firms and other companies and governments looking to introduce better corporate governance policies as well as providing training programmes and workshops to put governance concepts into reality. The Institute’s influence is deep. Its white papers and annual conferences have, on at least two occasions, coincided with the release of pivotal laws influencing corporate governance: legislation on board composition requirements in the United Arab Emirates and the introduction of a corporate governance code in Qatar.

In 2008 in partnership with Standard & Poor’s, Hawkamah created the region’s first ESG Pan Arab Index assessing listed companies from 11 MENA economies. The tradable index comprising the top 50 companies in the region aims to give asset managers an additional layer of assurance when they invest in the region.

“If you want to attract investors you need to have certain reporting standards and if you are in an emerging market which is perceived to have weaker legal frameworks, the argument goes that you have to go the extra mile to instill confidence in your company,” says Peklar.

Van der Heyden agrees. “Weak governance regimes give few rights to investors and shareholders – and that invariably reduces foreign investments.  Of course the question is whether one needs foreign investors: if the answer is no, then the governance regime need not pay attention to the demands of foreign investors.”

Focus on collective decision-making

In 2013, Hawkamah is focusing its priorities in the boardroom, encouraging the move from “shareholder-centric to board-centric governance”.

In other words, a focus on collective decision-making where resolutions are based on what’s best for the long-term growth and sustainability of the company rather than what’s best for the short-term interest of individual shareholders. “It’s a very different dynamic,” notes Peklar. “But fortunately lots of companies are realising that corporate governance is not just window dressing or a mere compliance exercise, it’s really contributing to better strategic decisions.”

Meawhile a case being developed by INSEAD on one of Abu Dhabi’s major banks attests to the strong link between improved governance, better business decision-making, and stronger corporate performance.  “There is no question that good governance pays in the medium and longer term,” concludes Van der Heyden.

Assembling the Treasury, Wordhoard, Synonymicon, Thesaurus

All lexicographers, regardless of where on the prescriptivist/descriptivist spectrum they fall, like to tell you they are totally objective when writing their dictionaries. They get worked up into a veritable froth if you suggest otherwise, maybe even raising their voices to conversational levels and daring to make eye contact when they tell you that you are utterly wrong. Lexicography’s underlying tenet is complete objectivity! Get thee behind me, John Dryden!

Notice how they conveniently fail to talk about thesauruses when objectivity comes up.

Unlike dictionaries, there is no one approach to compiling a thesaurus, no Unified Theory of Synonyms. The main goal that all of them have is to present an entry word and a group of words related to that entry word, but how those words are specifically related to the entry–and how they are presented–is varied, to say the least.

A Letter to a Prospective Lexicographer

We regularly receive letters from people who want an editorial job at M-W and ask for more information on lexicography. It’s my job to answer those letters. Here is the response I wish I could send.

Thank you for your interest in becoming an editor at Merriam-Webster.  I am happy to share some information on the field of lexicography with you.

There are only three formal requirements for becoming a Merriam-Webster editor. First, we respectfully ask that you be a native speaker of English. I think I should break this to you now, before you begin shopping for tweeds and practicing your “tally ho what”: we focus primarily on American English. It’s not that we don’t like British English and its speakers. Indeed, we have an instinctual, deep love for any people who, upon encountering a steamed pudding with currants in it for the first time, thought, “The name of this shall be ‘Spotted Dick’.” But since we are the oldest American dictionary company around, and we are located in a particularly American part of the world, we feel it’s best to play to our strengths.

In a survey that's sure to be taken the wrong way by somebody, researchers at the Yale School of Medicine have discovered links between "problematic gaming" and negative health behaviors like smoking, doing drugs, and fighting. But first, good news!

the good news is that the study, which surveyed 4,028 adolescents about their gaming habits, found that there were no major connections between gaming and increased violence and falling grades. In fact, teens that participated in modest amounts of gaming were less likely to smoke, got better grades, and were probably prettier than other kids. I'm just guessing on that last one.

Of the 4,028 teens surveyed, 51.2 percent reported that they played video games, which accounted for 76.3 percent of the boys and 29.2 percent of the girls. Most of these teens game in moderation and have never touched a cigarette, bottle of booze, or whatever it is they put crack in. A crack jug. that sounds good, let's run with it.

So what's the problem?

Problematic gamers are the problem. Using three signs associated with the Minnesota Impulse Disorder Inventory - problems trying to cut back on gaming, increased anxiety when not gaming, and relief when they finally do play - researchers identified a small percentage of the gamers as problematic gamers.

Only 5.8 percent of the boys and 3.0 percent of girls fell into this category, but these were some bad boys and girls.

The study determined that boys and girls that identified as problematic gamers were more likely to smoke cigarettes, do drugs, suffer from depression, or resort to violence. Girls in particular were more prone to violence, with a small but significant number indicating they get into fights regularly and carry weapons to school.

What does this mean? The data is wide open to interpretation. Perhaps girls from tougher neighborhoods tend to game more. Maybe depressives find gaming a good way to lose themselves.

Perhaps gaming causes depression? No, that's just silly.

The study isn't without its major flaws in any case. Researchers asked teenagers questions. Do you know how hard it is to get a straight answer out of a teenager? I've been a teenager previously, and I lied like a champ, often for no reason.

You can read the full study for a more comprehensive picture. It's wordy and the language is a bit dense, but it's all there.

How to return a lost client to a beauty salon

The rapid development of the beauty industry in recent years has suffered incredibly high competition in this area. Today, it is not enough to have a professional team of masters, which qualitatively performs its work and knows its business.

Constantly improving service and level of service is the key to successful salon business. The beauty salon is increasingly a multi-disciplinary institution that provides a variety of image services. Also, when visiting the beauty parlor, the client wants not only to get a high-quality service, but also to feel its own importance and exceptional attitude, which is manifested in the special hospitality and care to it from the staff. When a person understands that he is always waiting for affability, comfortable communication, when the attitude to the master at the level of friendly relations. And this feeling should be maintained and maintained even when a person is not directly at your salon.

Being the owner of a network of beauty salons in a big city, where the portrait of the target audience is constantly changing, it is important to keep abreast of the latest trends in the sphere in order to meet the most demanding requests and thus successfully conduct business.

With the duties of a master professional everything is clear enough, but there is another equally important position – the administrator of the beauty salon. Often the requirements for this position are very blurred, because this post is not considered prestigious, and many job seekers see it as a temporary form of employment. Considering that the duties of the administrator include only the vision of the journal of records and the meeting of the client in the salon. In this case, the importance of monitoring the client base and working with lost clients is ignored.

As the owners of beauty saloons themselves admit, sometimes they are simply terrified by what and how their administrator says, communicating by phone. And at this time, the statistics confidently reports that thanks to such a call of lost clients, it is possible to return from 15 to 30 percent of customers who have not visited the salon for more than two months.

It is absolutely inefficient to fill up a lost client with messages about promotions, news, services of your beauty salon. It is important to find out the reason why a person does not dare to make another visit to you. This feedback will not only help you resume visits, by offering exactly what the client needs, but also helps you understand what and how you can / need to improve in the salon. A properly structured dialogue structure is needed.

It is with such a task that the system of auto-call justify will easily cope. With the CRM Krusher system, you can create an infinite number of scenarios and not worry about the literacy and relevance of maintaining a dialogue with a lost client.

In addition, CRM Krusher – this is primarily speed. In a short period of time, you can easily process your, often a huge, database of lost customers, making several introductory scenarios to conduct analytics, invite to service, offering exactly what a person needs. Also, you will be able to “lead” the existing customers of the salon, on time recalling the record or informing about the special promotional offers operating in the salon.

CRM Krusher will solve the problem of monitoring the client base, remove unnecessary and often stressful (mainly work with the base of lost clients – this is working with the negative) for the administrator / manager, the activity.

CRM Krusher – are hardware or programmable mini-PBXs that perform many tasks and is good in that it can be fully optimized for your tasks. After the first month of operation, you will be able to evaluate the benefits of using the system and adapt it to the features of your business.

Be the leader in the field of providing beauty services. Perfect and correctly organize business processes using modern technologies, such as automatic call-back system Krusher.

Ducey signs Prop. 301 bill to extend millions in Arizona school funding

(Public Domain Photo)

PHOENIX — Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey signed Monday a 20-year extension of Proposition 301 that will provide more than $500 million annually for primary and secondary public education.

“Nearly 20 years ago, Gov. (Jane) Hull and Arizona voters passed Proposition 301,” Ducey said in a statement. “Today, elected leaders have worked together, in a bipartisan fashion, to keep this funding stream alive for our schools, teachers and students.”

The bill to extend the program — which also would shift an additional $64 million being used for debt service to education in 2021 — was passed by both houses in the state Legislature last week.

“Our top priority has been K-12 funding and increasing teacher pay,” Senate President Steve Yarbrough told KTAR 92.3 FM’s Mac and Gaydos on Wednesday.

Eileen Klein, the president of the Arizona Board of Regents, said in a statement that the passage of Proposition 301 “signals good news for education in Arizona” and ensured dedicated revenues for public education.

“With the renewal of these funds, Arizona educational institutions from K-12 to our public universities are able to continue utilizing these critical dollars for the continued success of our students and our state.”

Voters initially passed the proposition in 2000. The tax was to expire in mid-2021.

The proposals by Republican Rep. Doug Coleman and Sen. Kate Brophy McGee stalled in January but gained second wind last week.

The tax produces nearly $670 million a year. Public K-12 schools receive the majority of the money. Another chunk — $154 million — has gone toward universities, colleges and school-construction debt payments.

The tax has added to cash available for teacher pay and school operations, although some teachers in the state have been staging protests and wearing red to show their sentiments that pay remained low.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Dierks Bentley's process of creating his most recent album, The Mountain, marked a sharp left turn for the country singer. From his songwriting process in small-town Colorado to his DIY recording process, Bentley abandoned conventional tactics for a grassroots approach -- and he says he loved it.

"We really had a lot of fun," Bentley explained during a recent press event. "We were writing out at the house in Telluride. We had taken some trash cans and set [songwriter and producer Ross Copperman]'s computer up on top of that. We set up some boxes for speaker mounts, and sat on the floor with the microphone cable running through the room."

Will this unconventional recording style become a regular occurrence for Bentley's studio albums? Not necessarily, he says, but the process did teach him how imaginative the creative process could be.

"I think I learned from this record that you can come up with creative ideas and really go for them," he goes on to say. "[Recording this album], it ended up becoming, like, 'How far can we push this thing before we're told to rein it back in?' Luckily, no one told us to rein it back in."

Bentley says that a critical part of making The Mountain involved a change of scenery. "Next record, we'll probably look for another location to do it," he adds.

"As you get older, it's kind of about combining an experience with whatever it is you're working on -- like, going to Iceland for the video for "Black" was awesome. I'd never been to Iceland and would have wanted to go either way, even if it wasn't part of the video shoot," Bentley says. "So being out in Colorado and having an excuse to hang out there, it definitely played into the whole concept, and it was fun to create something outside of Nashville."

About this blog - contact details.

Bebop Spoken Here -- Here, being the north-east of England -- centred in the blues heartland of Newcastle and reaching down to the Tees Delta and looking upwards to the Land of the Kilt.
Not a very original title, I know; not even an accurate one as my taste, whilst centred around the music of Bird and Diz, extends in many directions and I listen to everything from King Oliver to Chick Corea and beyond. Not forgetting the Great American Songbook the contents of which has provided the inspiration for much great jazz and quality popular singing for round about a century.
The idea of this blog is for you to share your thoughts and pass on your comments on discs, gigs, jazz - music in general. If you've been to a gig/concert or heard a CD that knocked you sideways please share your views with us. Tell us about your favourites, your memories, your dislikes.

Contact: I look forward to hearing from you.

Submissions for review

Whilst we appreciate the many emails, texts, messages and other communications we receive requesting album/gig reviews on BSH, regrettably, we are unable to reply to all of them other than those we are able to answer with a positive response.
Similarly, CDs received by post will only be considered if accompanied by sufficient background material.
Finally, bear in mind that this is a jazz-based site when submitting your album.

What are by-laws?

A scheme’s by-laws are like its own mini-constitution. They regulate many things in a body corporate context including the rights of use and rules around common property.  They can only be changed by a vote of all lot owners.

Body Corporate By-Laws

If you would like to receive an obligation free proposal for Hynes Legal’s model by-laws, tailored to reflect the unique requirements of your scheme, please upload a copy of your community management statement (if you have it) as well as completing the form below:

A common misconception is that registration of by-laws means that they are lawful or enforceable. This is not the case. The Titles Office simply registers a document. It does not check the by-laws themselves for validity.

Registration does not mean validity

The problem with by-law creation

The Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997 (Qld) (BCCMA) has a number of restrictions on what by-laws can address. In almost every scheme we have seen, these legislative provisions are not mirrored or acknowledged in the by-laws themselves.

Lawyers are creatures of precedent.  No doubt some diligent lawyer came up with a comprehensive set of by-laws many years ago which has been plagiarised repeatedly over time.  Unfortunately, as those original by-laws get tested, more and more of them are being shown up as unlawful.  That says nothing about committee originated ones that get added to a set of by-laws over time.

What this means is that most bodies corporate have unlawful by-laws.  If you don’t know what you are looking for, it can become a bit of a lottery when it comes time to enforce them.  If the by-laws are not valid, they are not enforceable, and this is a fact that many diligent committees learn to their detriment well after they try to enforce them.

The other key issue with a scheme’s by-laws is that they usually do not adequately cater for every by-law need of the building.   This is because the by-laws have never been reviewed holistically having regard to the individual body corporate’s characteristics.

The solution to the problem

We are redefining the way by-laws are reviewed.

Rather than working from the existing base of (usually) largely incorrect by-laws, we will work with you to build a set of by-laws from the ground up that are specific to your scheme. This starts with a comprehensive information gathering process where we take you through what we need to know and then we produce for you what you need to have.

The finished product will be 100% lawful and enforceable.  This gives every committee the confidence to rely on the by-laws whilst promoting transparency for owners and occupiers about how the scheme is regulated.

The other benefit is that this is a far more cost-effective method than the traditional way of reviewing by-laws line by line.

The end result is easier for all to understand as the by-laws are not written in legalese, are created in a logical order (as opposed to 1 through to 40), and are broken up into relevant sections.

At their final meeting of 2017, the Michigan Strategic Fund (MSF) board focused on continued economic progress into the new year by approving projects that will generate a total capital investment of $982.4 million and create 241 jobs.

“Today’s actions by the Michigan Strategic Fund will mean more jobs and greater economic opportunities for Michiganders,” said Gov. Rick Snyder. “Haval Motor Technology’s decision to expand its U.S. presence into Michigan further demonstrates our global leadership in the evolution of automotive technologies. I look forward to working with the company as it grows and creates jobs in the state.”

A subsidiary of Greater Wall Motor Company Limited, China’s largest manufacturer of SUVs, American Haval Motor Technology LCC plans to establish an R & D center in Farmington Hills, Mich. — investing $3.5 million and creating 150 jobs.

A second project involves Indeck Niles LCC that is redeveloping a contaminated property in the city of Niles, Mich. and constructing the Indeck Niles Energy Center: a next-generation energy center fueled by clean natural gas. The project is expected to generate a total capital investment of $967 million and create 21 full-time equivalent jobs.

The MSF also approved the Original and Only Thompson Block LLC and 3mission Redevelopment Corporation’s plan to redevelop three parcels of property in Ypsilanti’s Depot Town, which is expected to generate a total capital investment of $11.8 million and create 70 full-time equivalent jobs. This will result in a $3.175 million Michigan Community Revitalization Program. The board also approved several other projects.

“The Michigan Strategic Fund continues to help fuel new economic activity that strengthens our communities while creating good jobs for our residents,” said Jeff Mason, CEO of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC). MEDC is the state’s chief marketing and business attraction arm that administers programs and performs due diligence on behalf of the MSF.

About Me

Scan 2
I’m not really 12. I’m just digging the weird purple sweater I wore that day.

This is starting out as a bit of an experiment, truthfully. I just don’t know how or where it will go.

I live in the Farmington Valley in Connecticut with my husband and two sons, and a small dumpy looking dog (he has all the unpleasant behavioral traits of a beagle, so that’s what I tell people he is, but we rescued him in 2005 from CT Labs For Rescue).

Dumpy dog.

I have a weird sense of humor, and I love it when I meet someone else who laughs at the same things. I think videos of people slipping and falling on icy sidewalks are hysterical, and I’m not guilty enough about it not to share that with you.

I also like wine and manhattans, and I (usually) drink them responsibly.

It should be interesting, so stick around and watch. Or lurk, even. If you make a rude comment, it won’t be approved, unless it’s really funny – just sayin’.

XOXO Sarah

Me now. While cleaning a bathroom at home. Or preparing a cocktail.

What does Common Law copyright protection give me exactly?

From my research, all I've found is that if I create a work, it is automatically protected by common law copyright, and that if I register the copyright, I get additional protections like the ability to sue in a federal court.

So what protections do I get with Common Law copyright in the first place? Suing in a state court?

Is the only right that it grants me, the right to use the copyright symbol, which deters others from copying my work? But if they actually copy my work, then I can't go after them?

There's no "common law copyright" in the US. There's common law trademark, but copyrights and trademarks are different things. All copyright is based on federal copyright statutes, and an unregistered copyright is just called an unregistered copyright. What an unregistered copyright gives you is almost the same thing as a registered copyright: the exclusive right to exercise various rights (reproduction, distribution, public performance/display, etc.) Registration is required before you can actually file an infringement lawsuit, but it's OK if you only registered it after learning about the infringement.

The main reason to register the work early is that you might be able to collect higher damages if it was registered before the infringement. If the work was unregistered when the infringement happened, you can only collect actual damages. If it was already registered, you can instead opt to collect statutory damages. Statutory damages don't require you to show actual loss; instead, the court awards between $750 and $30,000 per work based on what it considers fair. The lower limit can go down to $200 if the infringer had no reason to think they were infringing, and the upper limit can go up to $150,000 if the infringement was willful. You can also collect attorney's fees if it was already registered.

In the comments, the question was raised of whether someone else might be able to register the copyright for your work before you and what would happen then. When I say "registration is required before filing a lawsuit," the requirement is that you submit the registration paperwork properly, pay the fee, and wait for the Copyright Office to act on the application. If they accept the registration, you're all set. Even if they refuse, though, you can still file an infringement claim -- you just have to also serve the head of the Copyright Office, who has the option of jumping into the case to argue about whether the work could legally be registered. You can also sue the Copyright Office to get judicial review of a denial under the Administrative Procedure Act (refusal still lets you file infringement lawsuits, but you can't get statutory damages or attorney's fees against an infringer unless the Copyright Office actually accepted the registration).

  • Searching for "common law copyright" (in quotes) yields about 75k results. Is that terminology not technically correct then? I've seen it pop up all over the place – pushkin Jul 9 '18 at 17:07
  • My main concern is that if I don't register the copyright, someone could take it and register it themselves. It sounds like based on what you said that they would technically be infringing on my copyright if they did that, but I wouldn't be able to do anything about it (re: sue) until I registered my work. If they register it, and I find out, I imagine there's some kind of process for invalidating their copyright? Is that correct? – pushkin Jul 9 '18 at 17:09
  • 2
    @pushkin have a look at the Wikipedia article on common-law copyright. You'll see that it does exist, but it has very little applicability in the US. For example, sound recordings made before 1972 are protected by common-law copyright in New York, but that protection is very limited. For other kinds of works, federal pre-emption began in 1978. I suspect that many people are using the term incorrectly, though, to mean "unregistered copyright," as posited in this answer. Perhaps the use arises in analogy to "common-law marriage." – phoog Jul 9 '18 at 18:34
  • @phoog Do you or cpast know the answer to my second comment? If I don't register copyright, could someone else take the work and register it themselves and screw me over? Thanks – pushkin Jul 10 '18 at 15:04
  • @pushkin no, nobody can do that, at least not legally. Only the copyright owner can register the copyright. When you create a work, you automatically own the copyright. Another person can only register the work (legally) if you assign the copyright to that person. If another person registers the work fraudulently, however, you might have to go to court to assert your rights as the true creator of the work. – phoog Jul 10 '18 at 15:09

Prior to the US 1976 copyright act (which took effect in 1978), US Federal copyright did not extend to unpublished work or to work published without a copyright notice. However, such work was in many cases protected under various state laws collectively referred to as "common-law copyright". This was a misnomer even then I believe, but a very common one. The rights granted under it were significantly less than Federal copyright protection offered, but some protection there was. But for anything written since 1978, the federal statute offers protection from the moment of writing. The old concept would now apply only to work created before 1978, and never published.

Michael B. Clapp - on behalf of the Petitioner
Richard H. Seamon - on behalf of the United States, as amicus curiae, supporting Petitioner

Facts of the case

Media for City of Burlington v. Dague

Audio Transcription for Oral Argument - April 21, 1992 in City of Burlington v. Dague

Audio Transcription for Opinion Announcement - June 24, 1992 in City of Burlington v. Dague

William H. Rehnquist:

The opinion of the Court in No. 91-810, Burlington against Dague will be announced by Justice Scalia.

Antonin Scalia:

I am sorry, I am up again right away.

This case is here on petition for certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.

It presents a question that we addressed but did not resolve five years ago in the case of Pennsylvania versus Delaware Valley Citizens' Council for Clean Air, otherwise known as Delaware Valley II.

That question is whether under the typical federal statute awarding attorney's fees to a prevailing party, a court may enhance the fee award above the so-called lodestar amount.

I will describe what that is.

Whether a court may enhance it above that in order to reflect the fact that the party's attorneys were retained on a contingent fee basis and thus, assume the risk of receiving no payment at all for their services if their clients were to lose the case.

The respondents here owned land in Vermont adjacent to landfill owned and operated by the City of Burlington.

They sued the city over its operation of the landfill.

The District Court ruled that the City had violated provisions of the Solid Waste Disposal Act and the Clean Water Act and it determined that respondents were the substantially prevailing parties under the fee award provisions of the statute and, therefore, were entitled to their attorney's fees.

In calculating the fee award, the District Court first determined the lodestar amount.

That is done by taking the number of hours reasonably expended by the attorneys and multiplying those hours by a reasonable hourly rate for the attorneys.

The District Court then went on, however, to augment that lodestar amount by 25% on the ground that the respondents' attorneys were retained on a contingent fee basis and that without such enhancement respondents would have faced substantial difficulties in obtaining suitable counsel.

The Court of Appeals affirmed the fee award.

We, today, reverse the Court of Appeals and adapt the position taken in Justice White's principal opinion in Delaware Valley II.

So you will have the rare occasion today to hear one of Justice White's opinions even if second hand from the Bench.

We hold that the fee shifting statutes at issue do not permit enhancement of the lodestar amount on account of contingency.

Respondents request us to adapt the position advocated by the concurrence in Delaware Valley II under which contingency enhancement would be permitted in some circumstances.

For reasons explained more fully in our opinion, we believe that position is unworkable and largely circular and would not promote its supposed goal of mirroring market incentives.

We also conclude more generally that no contingency enhancement is compatible with the fee shifting statutes at issue because it would in effect pay for the attorney's time or anticipated time in cases where his client does not prevail and is thus, at odds with the prevailing party language of the statutes.

Moreover, contingency enhancement is inconsistent with our general rejection of the contingent fee model in favor of the lodestar model as the method for determining fee awards and is not necessary to the determination of a reasonable fee.

Finally, it would create burdensome satellite litigation by making the setting of fees more complex and arbitrary.

Justice Blackmun has filed a dissenting opinion which Justice Stevens has joined, and Justice O'Connor has filed a dissenting opinion.
