S., at 348, and that seaman status depends "not on the place where the injury is inflicted. The term "seaman." However, the Court's Jones Act cases establish the basic principles that the term does not include land-based workers, 498 U. (a) The Jones Act provides heightened legal protections to seamen because of their exposure to the perils of the sea, but does not define The "employment-related connection to a vessel in navigation" necessary for seaman status comprises two basic elements: The worker's duties must contribute to the function of the vessel or to the accomplishment of its mission, id., at 355, and the worker must have a connection to a vessel in navigation (or an identifiable group of vessels) that is substantial in both its duration and its nature. It also found that the District Court erred in instructing the jury that the Galileo's drydock time could not count in the substantial connection equation.ġ. 337, 355, exists where an individual contributes to a vessel's function or the accomplishment of its mission the contribution is limited to a particular vessel or identifiable group of vessels the contribution is substantial in terms of its duration or nature and the course of the individual's employment regularly exposes him to the hazards of the sea. It held that the "employmentrelated connection to a vessel in navigation" required for seaman status under the Jones Act, McDermott Int'l, Inc. The Court of Appeals vacated the judgment, finding that the jury instruction improperly framed the issue primarily in terms of Latsis' temporal relationship to the vessel. The jury returned a verdict for Chandris based solely on Latsis' seaman status. Subsequently, he sued Chandris for damages for his eye injury under the Jones Act, which provides a negligence cause of action for "any seaman" injured "in the course of his employment." The District Court instructed the jury that Latsis was a "seaman" if he was permanently assigned to, or performed a substantial part of his work on, a vessel, but that the time Latsis spent with the Galileo while it was in drydock could not be considered because the vessel was then out of navigation. Galileo and stayed with the ship while it was in drydock for refurbishment. Following his recuperation, he sailed to Germany on the S. He lost substantial vision in one eye after a condition that he developed while on one of those voyages went untreated by a ship's doctor. Respondent Latsis' duties as a superintendent engineer for petitioner Chandris, Inc., required him to take voyages on Chandris' ships.

It won’t physically get you out of bed in the morning, but it makes an often painful process a lot easier. A timeless app that’s done its job for years, Rise makes it easy to set alarms, and includes easy progressive alarms, alarms with your own unique sounds/songs, etc. When it comes to great alarm clock apps, perhaps none are discussed quite as often as Rise. If you have roommates or thin walls, you might want to warn your neighbors before downloading this one. Plus, the app includes a randomizer so you won’t get too accustomed to the same sounds. There’s no way you’re sleeping through this. Featuring sounds like police sirens or car alarms. Just an annoying, blaring, loud alarm clock. This app does exactly what it says it does. If you never want to sleep through your alarm again, Alarmy is perfect. Best of all, it can only be turned off when you take a photo of something specific (like your downstairs coffeepot, your shower head, your toothbrush, etc.). The alarm is loud, obnoxious, and very annoying. Androidīilled as “the world’s most annoying alarm app,” Alarmy is another app that literally forces you out of bed. So hit your steps for the morning and shut off your alarm. You can’t mute it, you can’t snooze it, you can’t pause it-if you don’t get your lazy, tired ass out of bed and move, it’ll just keep going. Imagine an alarm that blares at you until you get out of bed and literally walk around. The concept for this app is positively ingenious. So, with Daylight Savings just around the corner, we’ve rounded up some of the best alarm apps to get you up and out of bed. But, there are plenty of helpful and ingenious apps that make waking up easy. Personally, I’ve switched over to a real-life, physical alarm clock so I don’t wake up staring at my phone. Thankfully, there is technology to help us. Maybe you could construct a Rube Goldberg device to drop some cold water on you. There are plenty of tricks you could try like putting your alarm clock across the room so you need to get up and get your phone. If you’re like us, you struggle to get out of bed in the morning. The warscore will tick and you should be able to peace them out after 5-6 years. In order to win the war you will place your army in Lund and just wait for them to cross the strait. When Denmark lands troops on your lands you will just move your army and kill them. The fort in Lund is often mothballed and it will be pretty easy to siege it down. While it is helpful to ask support for independence from big nations such as England and Muscovy, the player can win against Denmark by themselves and picks up some extra benefits from the mission tree for doing so. Bear in mind, due to the dynamic nature of the game, it may unfold differently for other players. The below is one of many player suggested strategies for Sweden. Sweden's achievements are about control of the Baltic Sea and its time as a major player in the Thirty Years' War. However, Sweden can break free by using its better land forces and using its navy for strategic blocking. It has a personal union with Denmark as the major partner ruling over Sweden and Norway. Sweden starts in as a junior partner in the Kalmar Union. The Russian Principalities, the Polish and the Lithuanians are all long term natural rivals in this struggle, not to mention the Danish kingdom with which Sweden is currently united. Not to mention overcoming the Teutonic and Livonian Orders and others who are interested in controlling the Baltic trade. The sea routes are what binds the large Swedish kingdom together, from Kalmar to Viborg, and that is also how the bountiful Swedish iron and copper reach the continent.įor Sweden to achieve such dominion over the Baltics, a Dominium Maris Baltici, it will have to defeat not only German merchants but also get involved in the politics of the Holy Roman Empire. What is clear is that the control over the Baltic Sea and its many estuaries and ports will be imperative to the Swedish Kingdom. Time will make it clear if the Union of Kalmar can be mended, or if Sweden will walk its own way. The new king elected by Danes, Swedes and Norwegians is a foreigner with no local power base, Christopher von Wittelsbach, but the real power in the kingdom of Sweden lies with the Lord High Justiciar of Sweden, Karl Knutsson Bonde, and the Swedish nobility. An uprising that together with failed wars against the Hanseatic League led to the deposition of the Union King Erik, who has fled to the island of Gotland, leading a life as a local pirate rather than the king of the north. Tensions reached an all time high in the 1430's with the popular Engelbrekt rebellion forcibly ejecting Danish officials from the country. Many are weary of their hard-earned money being spent on Danish adventures in Northern Germany, wars that also disrupt trade and hinder the export of Swedish iron. Authority has become centered in faraway Denmark, and the many conflicts with Lübeck and the Hanseatic cities have been quite costly. The union has however in many ways proved to be a disappointment to the Swedish nobles. The Kingdom of Sweden entered the Kalmar Union with Norway and Denmark willingly in 1397, eager to limit the influence of the German merchants of the Hanseatic League. Given my day job (and personality), it can sometimes be challenging to keep quiet, but I agree wholeheartedly with every point you make. Use it.ĭear Old-fashioned: I have a Post-it over my desk saying, “Unsolicited advice is always self-serving.” There’s a very old-fashioned quality called tact. Unsolicited opinions, like “constructive criticism,” are rude, unnecessary and sometimes hurtful. If you don’t approve of an unplanned pregnancy, the name chosen for your new grandchild, the choice of clothing, the color of anything, or the choice of what vegetable your friend wants for dinner, keep your mouth shut. I am constantly amazed (appalled?) at the comments people make about other people’s lives. When someone is suffering, simply having a calm, stalwart, and undemanding companion can help a lot.ĭear Amy: There’s an old saying that goes: “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” Make their hardship or suffering about you or your own experience.ĭo: Be natural, compassionate, and adopt a listening stance.

We haven’t changed a bit!”Ĭompare one person’s illness or loss to another person’s. “I just found this picture of us from high school. “I made some soup are you OK if I drop off a container?” “Can I drive you to your treatment next week?” “I’m just checking in … I’m thinking about you so often. “Oh no! I’m really sorry you’re going through this.” Where can I find more eloquent speech for these unfortunate situations?ĭear Tongue Tied: Hang eloquence. I’m sympathetic and want to offer words of comfort, but most of what I can think of to say is stilted, shallow and sounds insincere to me – even as I’m saying it. Talking further with a calm and mutually compassionate attitude might help to reveal what is really amiss.ĭear Amy: I’ve reached the age when more and more people I care about are sick, ailing or dying. I agree that because this behavior was so outside the norm for her, there might be an underlying medical, hormonal, or emotional trigger. She should also be asked to understand how hurtful it is to absorb such a serious, unfounded and unfair accusation. Your wife may admit to having long-standing suspicions and insecurity about this previous work relationship. Resolving a challenge is the opposite from pretending it never happened. Your wife is embarrassed by her own behavior of course she doesn’t want to discuss it further!īut I agree with you that it is important that you two discuss this in order to come to a resolution that will satisfy both of you.

It was an easy choice when we decided to collaborate on a beer.”Ĭuilla is encouraged by the response so far this year and sees the increased customer traffic as a good sign for the downtown area. “We found Promised Land makes consistently good beer and they always hit the mark. “We stocked their cans because we want to be big supporters of local breweries,” Cuilla said. It was a perfect fit with Pour Decisions’ own status as a pick-up-only business. Just as Promised Land had opened its own tasting room, limits on indoor customers forced them to start canning its beer instead of offering it on tap. Working on a beer with Promised Land came as a result of the same COVID complications that hindered their opening. The new space also allows another 12 beer taps, on top of the 32 they already have-and with 44 separate beers, they claim bragging rights to the most taps in Hollister. Of course, the addition of 15 arcade machines, pre-loaded with hundreds of classic video games, doesn’t hurt. “People are going to remember their favorites like Mario, Sonic and Donkey Kong and their minds are blown because it is such a throwback.” “The decorations kinda fell in suit after we decided to go game theme,” Cuilla said. The aesthetic of the new space is classic video arcade, with game characters painted on the wall and an overall feeling of being in Super Mario Land. Cuilla describes himself and his partners as children of the ’80s and ’90s and the decor flows from that. The solution was to take over the vacant suite beside theirs to accommodate more customers, bringing capacity from 82 customers to a total of 131, not including the parklet. And one thing was that we needed more bathrooms.” “We had to keep being responsible with social distancing, we also had to keep wheeling and adapting. “When the lockdown opened up in February, we had almost too much business,” Cuilla said. The gradual lifting of restrictions meant adapting to an ever-growing customer base: stocking more varieties of beer and offering more menu items. We kept having to adapt to whatever COVID threw in our way.” “The customer support was great, but it was a challenging rollercoaster over the next few months. “For the first three days, we had to shut down early because we kept running out of food,” Cuilla said. The public response to Pour Decisions’ debut was much greater than the owners anticipated. Having their grand opening during COVID presented unique challenges and by opening in mid-July, new restrictions forced the taproom to add outdoor seating with canopies. Jonathan Cuilla co-owns the taproom along with Joe Nguyen and Nick Donaldson and it was difficult to figure out what he was more excited about-the expansion, the arcade, the new beer, or just having survived the last year of on-again/off-again COVID closures and restrictions. July 18 marked its one-year anniversary and they met it in style with a party on the 17th, not just with the new seating area, which also offers an expanded selection of beers on tap, but with the debut of its very first craft beer-a collaboration with Gilroy’s Promised Land Brewing Company called To the Moon. It’s nearly impossible to walk into the newly expanded Pour Decisions Taproom in Hollister and not want to join the fun as the video game-themed decor grabs your eyes and the sound effects of a dozen arcade machines excite your ears. Fire opals that do not show play of color are sometimes referred to as jelly opals.

White opal is more common and because of its body tone, generally does not show the colour as well as black opal.

As you can see, everything works in harmony here, and multitasking is required to succeed. What’s more, nobody wants to spend their days fermenting and bottling rum without sampling it, so you’ll have to build taverns. Also, you must build houses for workers, so they don't have to live in shacks. You have to build a distillery that won’t work without a sugar plantation nearby to make rum. You need to sign trade deals for bananas and rum to make money. You’ll often struggle to develop your cities and adapt to various new challenges. All of these can be a part of your banana republic! It’s not as easy as it sounds, however. You can also send your international agents to foreign lands to steal the projects of the most famous buildings in the world, including the Eiffel Tower, Statue of Liberty, Triumphal Arch, and so on.

Those missions vary in difficulty, rules to follow, and tasks to complete. Completing a given mission will grant you access to others. They are not related to each other, but they cover a different aspect of the game to teach you its main features. Tropico 6 doesn’t have any story campaign but instead has a series of missions to complete. You have to balance everything out, and that’s the last thing you would expect from a dictator! Of course, it’s impossible to make everyone happy, as every request you fill for one group will cost you standing with another. Ignoring their demands for too long equals the risk of a rebellion.
