If short skirts and knee socks on women over 12 make a comeback, blame Dr. Seriously, for a woman without friends, and presumably, few social outings, Dr. Hunt's concerned boss and a woman who can also wear clothes well. But man, she can wear clothes! Her partner (Nicholas Bishop) plays Booth to her Bones and seems to know her better than herself, and makes some sly suggestions as to how to get along with other humans. For starters, she's divorced, lonely and friendless. Of course, there are downsides to being so brilliant. Many scenes in "Body of Proof" consist of Hunt regurgitating whole paragraphs of medical jargon before her quivering staff. And because she was a world-renowned and respected neurosurgeon, she's not afraid to share her knowledge with her more modestly educated colleagues in the most obnoxious, condescending and humiliating fashion possible. Hunt doesn't require all of that fancy equipment they use on "CSI." She seems to know everything. Yes, that's right, "Body of Proof" is another cadaver drama. Robbed of her prestigious perch, she becomes a medical examiner. But what, we wonder, has robbed her of feelings in her heart? (Sob!) OK, I'm getting ahead of myself.

The bathroom may well be considered by many to be the smallest room in the home, but it's one that we use several times a day and one that should be considered to be very important! This eliminates the clutter of bottles along the edge of the shower or tub.Everything you need to freshen up your bathroom decor Keep the window ledges clear of bottles and plants, you want the natural light to pour in and not be obstructed with clutter.' She continues: 'Create storage nooks in the shower and tub area to store bottles and items needed. Bathrooms can be spa-like and still functional. ![]() Reduce visual clutter by having the counters organized and store 99% of your daily items off the counters and out of sight. Professional organizer, Brenda Scott, owner and operator, Tidy My Space offers her expert tips for bathroom storage ideas: 'Bathrooms usually have a small footprint so every inch needs to be used wisely. What should I keep on display in a bathroom? Just think beyond a towel rail and an undersink unit and you will find there are plenty of places to squeeze in some extra storage. Use baskets for spare toiletries to help organize under the bathroom sink where it can easily get cluttered, use your walls for shelves or ladder storage and, remember the back of the door can always be used to hang everything from bags of loo roll to dressing gowns and towels, of course. Think outside the box and make sure you make the most of all your space. How do I add more storage to my bathroom? There are lots of different options, from cupboards, drawers and sliding doors, plus you can find models that aren't even very expensive. How does a storage bath panel work? Basically, the space behind the panel that covers the side of your bath that's not being taken up by the bath itself is used as extra bathroom storage. These things are ingenious, especially if you have a small bathroom that makes multi-functional furniture a must.

'When it comes to basket storage, something to keep in mind is that more storage does not mean more organized. For hidden storage under a sink or in a closet, bigger baskets are great for stashing hair products, accessories, and styling tools,' says Anna Franklin, interior designer and founder of Stone House Collective. If you are using them to keep pretty washcloths and extra hand towels, display the baskets near the sink within easy reach. They are the perfect addition to keeping your bathroom tidy because in addition to being functional, they are easy to transport when you need access to your storage and when selected carefully, baskets will add texture and dimension to what can be an otherwise cold space. 'Beautifully designed baskets are my go-to bathroom storage accessory.

However, Baker and another officer testified that his license plates did have covers or frames on them. Garcia denied that his license plate had a cover or frame over it. Minnesota law provides: “it is unlawful to cover any assigned letters and numbers or the name of the state of origin of a license plate with any material whatever …. However, the judge also determined that Baker had reasonable suspicion to make the vehicle stop because Baker believed that Garcia had committed a license-plate violation. She also found that a jury could find that Baker stopped Garcia’s vehicle because of the offensive gesture. Judge Bresel acknowledged that Garcia’s middle-finger gesture was protected expressive conduct under the First Amendment. The judge reasoned that Garcia’s First Amendment claim must fail because to maintain a First Amendment retaliation claim, the offending government officials must lack probable cause or arguable probable cause to make the arrest. Bresel ruled in favor of the defendants in Garcia v. The defendants countered that Garcia’s First Amendment claim failed because Baker had reasonable suspicion to stop the vehicle. He alleged that Officer Baker retaliated against him because of his protected expressive conduct of flipping her the middle finger. Garcia’s First Amendment claim focused on retaliation. The defendants had the case removed to federal court since the lawsuit involved federal constitutional-law claims. Garcia then filed a lawsuit in state court, contending that Baker and others violated his First Amendment right to freedom of speech and his Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures. On the advice of his attorney, Garcia took a defensive-driving course and wrote a letter of apology to Baker in exchange for the dismissal of the disorderly conduct charge. She claimed that she noticed that Garcia’s rear license plate had a cover and a frame. She stopped his vehicle and arrested him for disorderly conduct.

The last pilot strike in the U.S.was 13 years ago, in 2010, at Spirit Airlines. The process also makes actual strikes very rare. Often, big headline-making wage improvements are biased by the fact some some of the payments are to make up for years in negotiation with no increases.

For one of the big four airlines in the U.S., who each carry roughly 20% of all U.S. The PEB compels each side to keep negotiating and does not allow any self-help action to take place. This allows the President of the United States to convene a Presidential Emergency Board (PEB). The RLA has one other feature to stop a strike. ![]() In 2005, Northwest Airlines locked out their mechanics and replaced them at this point in their negotiation process. That means the union can strike, and that management can lock out current employees and replace them. During this period, both sides can continue to negotiate knowing that if the cooling off ends without a deal, each side can resort to self-help. If it gets to this point, the mediator can “release” both sides from the mediation process and then the two sides enter a 30-day “cooling off” period. Southwest reported a $159 million loss during the first quarter of 2023 and a company-record $5.7 billion in quarterly revenue. The airline’s expenses for the first three months of the year totalled nearly $6 billion, including $380 million related to its total operational meltdown during the peak of December 2022 holiday travel.The mediation process can fail if the mediator believes that the two sides cannot reach a deal. ![]() ”Our pilots are tired of apologising to our passengers on behalf of a company that refuses to place its priorities on its internal and external customers.” “The lack of leadership and the unwillingness to address the failures of our organisation have led us to this point,” says SWAPA President Casey Murray. SWAPA says that with a potential strike looming, its pilots ”have already made their voices heard about the operational disasters and the lack of progress after three-plus years of stagnant negotiations”. And on 7 May, an “overwhelming majority” of pilots with Canadian start-up carrier Lynx Air also voted to join the world’s largest pilots’ union. Pilots at other airlines, notably at Delta Air Lines, Hawaiian Airlines, JetBlue Airways and Spirit Airlines, which are all represented by much larger union Air Line Pilots, International (ALPA), have in recent months won lucrative new contracts.Īir Canada’s pilots – previously represented by the Air Canada Pilots Association (ACPA) – recently voted to merge with ALPA. “This anticipated authorisation vote result does not change our commitment to the negotiation process, and we look forward to continuing discussions with SWAPA at the negotiating table.” “Our negotiating team continues to bargain in good faith and work toward reaching a new agreement to reward our pilots,” says Adam Carlisle, vice-president of labour relations at Southwest Airlines. The airline says it still expects mediation to end in a new contract for its flight deck crews, and for its summer schedule to be unimpeded by the negotiations. Southwest responded to the strike authorisation vote by noting that its pilots are “not on strike” and ”the vote result has no impact on our scheduled operations”. ”We want our passengers to understand that we do not take this path lightly.” ”We will follow the process set forth by the Railway Labor Act and continue toward a strike,” SWAPA says. SWAPA negotiating committee chair Jody Reven will now petition the National Mediation Board to release the union to self-help “imminently”, the union says.

![]() ![]() ![]() Many times, we’re coping with the fifth or sixth meltdown that morning over seemingly simple things like the tag in their shirt being too itchy, their sister talking too loudly, or a change in plans.Īutistic children aren’t crying, wailing, or flailing to get at us somehow. Or we’re running low on patience and just want peace and quiet. When our child has a meltdown, parents often want to stop the tears because it hurts our hearts that our kids are struggling. What to do during a very loud, very public meltdown We want them to “fit in” because we know what rejection feels like.Īnd sometimes we’re just too damn tired to be patient and empathetic.īut force isn’t the way to achieve joy, confidence - or calm. We want them to be brave and full of confidence. We know our kids would enjoy whatever activity if they would just try it. That said, I understand where the Elmo mom was coming from. When we let our children get comfortable at their own pace and they finally take that step of their own volition, true confidence and security grows. All of this pushing falls on a spectrum ranging from encouraging a hesitant child (this is great and should have no strings attached to the outcome - Let them say no!) to physically forcing them into a scenario that has their brain screaming danger. Of course, pushing independence isn’t always as extreme as the Elmo scenario or a room full of spiders. I also assume I’d store those traumas and they’d invariably be triggered later in my life. That doesn’t mean I had some kind of breakthrough or success in facing my fears. If I was forced into a room full of spiders, I would probably be able to detach from my brain at some point to cope after about 40 hours of screaming. When we force a child to face their fears, and I mean screaming-on-the-floor petrified, like Whitney Ellenby, the mother who wanted her autistic son to see Elmo, we aren’t actually helping them. When we push a child, especially one prone to anxiety and rigidity, their natural instinct is to dig their heels in and hold on tighter. I’ve learned from experience that trying to force independence is counterintuitive, whether or not your child is autistic. There’s a difference between forcing behaviors and encouraging independence We declined her services and found a better fit for our family - for our son. You could never fit their beauty and quirkiness into a box. In reality, each and every autistic child is so unique and different from what society deems typical. I felt like she wanted to stuff his behaviors into a box, then sit on top of it. I could see the judgment in her expression when she began a monologue about how I needed to force my son to go to school, force him into situations that make him extremely uncomfortable, and force him to socialize regardless of how he feels about it. My partner and I told her about our choice of home-schooling and how we’ve never used punishment as a form of discipline.Īs the meeting continued, her brows became hawklike. This was our first meeting to see if we would be a good fit to work together toward an evaluation and formal diagnosis, so my son wasn’t present. I sat in the child psychologist’s office telling her about my six-year-old autistic son. ![]() ![]() ![]() Look for products that are free from harmful chemicals such as phthalates, parabens, and synthetic fragrances.Ĭleaning your air ducts can help improve the air quality in your home, as it can remove dust, dirt, and other allergens.
