Tiberius Caesar Augustus, born Tiberius Claudius Nero (November 16, 42 BC – March 16 AD 37 ), was the second Roman Emperor, from the death of Augustus in AD 14 until his own death in 37. Tiberius was by birth a Claudian, son of Tiberius Nero and Livia. His mother divorced his father and remarried to Augustus in 39 BC. Tiberius would later marry Augustus' daughter Julia the Elder (from an earlier marriage) and even later be adopted by Augustus and by this act he became a Julian.

The subsequent emperors after Tiberius would continue this blended dynasty of both families for the next forty years; historians have named it the Julio-Claudian dynasty . Tiberius Claudius Nero deserves recognition as one of Rome's greatest generals, whose campaigns in Pannonia, Illyricum, Rhaetia and Germania laid the foundations for the northern frontier. But he came to be remembered as a dark, reclusive, and sombre ruler (tristissimus hominum – ‘the gloomiest of men’, by one account), who never really desired to be Emperor. After the death of Tiberius’ son Drusus in 23, the quality of his rule declined, and ended in a Terror. In 26 Tiberius exiled himself from Rome and left administration largely in the hands of his unscrupulous Praetorian Prefects Lucius Aelius Sejanus and Quintus Naevius Macro. Caligula, Tiberius’ adopted grandson, succeeded the Emperor on his demise. Emperor Tiberius on Coin from Segobriga- Joe Geranio Collection==Early life==Tiberius Claudius Nero was born on 16 November 42 BC to Tiberius Nero and Livia Drusilla. In 38 BC, a younger brother, Nero Claudius Drusus, was born and the brothers developed a famously close relationship. From his birth in a noble family¹, Tiberius was destined for public life. But during his boyhood the old Roman Republican system of rule by Senate and magistrates; which had been tottering for decades, was finally toppled and replaced by an autocracy under the able and ambitious Octavian (later known as Augustus). It proved fateful for Tiberius when, in 39 BC at age three, his mother divorced his father Tiberius Nero and married Octavian, thereby making the infant Tiberius the stepson of the future ruler of the Roman Empire. Tiberius's early life was relatively uneventful, even if the times were not. In 32 BC, as civil war loomed between Mark Antony and Octavian, Tiberius made his first public appearance at the age of nine and delivered the eulogy at his natural father's funeral. In the years following the Battle of Actium in 31 BC, as Octavian secured his position as Roman Emperor and became Augustus, Tiberius grew to maturity and took his first real steps in public life. In 29 BC, he took part in Augustus' triumph for the Actium campaign, riding on the left of Augustus in the triumphal chariot. Five years later, at the age of seventeen, he became a quaestor and was given the privilege of standing for the praetorship and consulship five years in advance of the age required by law. He then began appearing in court as an advocate and was sent by Augustus to the East where, in 20 BC, he oversaw one of his stepfather's proudest successes. The Parthians, who had captured the standards of the legions lost in the failed Eastern campaigns of Marcus Crassus (53 BC), Decidius Saxa (40 BC), and Mark Antony (36 BC), formally returned them to the Romans. After returning from the East, Tiberius was granted praetorian rank and, in 13 BC, he became consul. Between his praetorship and consulship, he was on active duty with his brother, Nero Claudius Drusus, combating the tribes in the Alps (the Raetians and Vindelici). In 16 BC he discovered the sources of the Danube, and soon afterwards the bend of the middle course. His personal life was also blessed at this time by a happy marriage to Vipsania Agrippina, the daughter of Augustus’s life-long friend and right-hand man, Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa. The marriage probably took place in 20 BC or 19 BC and during his consulship of 13 BC, his wife produced a son, Julius Caesar Drusus. When Agrippa died in 12 BC, Tiberius, on Augustus’s insistence, divorced Vipsania and married Agrippa's widow, Julia the Elder, who was also Augustus' daughter. The union was not a happy one and produced one child who died as an infant. Tiberius had been happily married to Vipsania and, following an embarrassing display in public, care was taken that their paths should never again cross. Nevertheless, Tiberius's elevation in his stepfather's succession scheme continued. He received important military commissions in Pannonia and Germania between 12 BC and 6 BC and proved very successful in the field. He was consul for a second time in 7 BC, and, in 6 BC, he was granted tribunician power (tribunicia potestas) and an extensive commission in the East. In essence, Tiberius had replaced Agrippa as Augustus’s successor. He was Julia's husband, the leading general in the state, and he enjoyed a share of the emperor's power. Everything seemed settled, until Tiberius himself confounded everyone's calculations. Contents [ show]Retirement to Rhodes Edit Without warning, in 6 BC Tiberius announced his withdrawal from public life and went to live on Rhodes with some personal friends and an astrologer. The motives for Tiberius's withdrawal are unclear, but they are likely to have been connected with Augustus’s grandchildren Gaius and Lucius, whom Augustus had, in the absence of sons of his own, adopted. Whatever Tiberius's motives, the move was not only a snub to Augustus, it was also highly inconvenient to his succession plans. Gaius Caesar and Lucius Caesar were still too young to assume the heavy responsibilities of the Principate, and Augustus now had no immediate successor to assume power and see the boys to maturity, since Tiberius's brother Drusus had died of an illness, an infection in an injury caused by falling off his horse, in 9 BC. Whatever had been Augustus’s opinion of Tiberius, he seems to have had little patience with, or affection for him after his exile. Something of Augustus’s irritation is revealed by his repeated refusal to allow Tiberius to return to Rome after Tiberius realized the delicacy of his position on Rhodes; and this in spite of pressure brought to bear on Augustus by his influential and persuasive wife, Livia. When Tiberius's tribunician powers ran out in 1 BC, they were not renewed, and his situation became even more precarious. According to Suetonius, he was expecting a ship bearing the order for his death. Ultimately, however, a ship was to arrive with quite different tidings. Denarius coin depicting Tiberius. When he was emperor Edit The accession of Tiberius proved intensely awkward. After Augustus had been buried and deified, and his will read and honored, the Senate convened on 18 September to inaugurate the new reign and officially ""confirm"" Tiberius as emperor. Such a transfer of power had never happened before, and nobody, including Tiberius, appears to have known what to do. Tacitus's account is the fullest of what happened. Tiberius came to the Senate to have various powers and titles voted to him. However, this too caused confusion, as he also had bestowed almost all of the imperial titles and powers on Tiberius, save for auctoritas, Augustus, Pater Patriae, and the Civic Crown (a crown made from laurel and oak, in honor of Augustus having saved the lives of Roman citizens). Perhaps in an attempt to imitate the tact of Augustus, Tiberius donned the mask of the reluctant public servant — and botched the performance. Rather than tactful, he came across to the Senators as obdurate and obstructive. He declared that he was too old for the responsibilities of the Principate, said he did not want the job, and asked if he could just take one part of the government for himself. The Senate was confused, not knowing how to read his behavior. Finally, one senator asked pointedly, ""Sire, for how long will you allow the State to be without a head?"" Tiberius relented and accepted the powers voted to him, and according to Tacitus and Suetonius, he refused to bear the titles Pater Patriae, Imperator, and Augustus, and declined the most solid emblem on the Princeps, the Civic Crown. The first meeting between the Senate and the new Emperor established a blueprint for their later interaction. Throughout his reign, Tiberius was to baffle, befuddle, and frighten the Senators. He seems to have hoped that they would act on his implicit desires rather than on his explicit requests. There was trouble not only at Rome, however. The legions posted in Pannonia and in Germania, the most powerful concentration of troops in the Empire, took the opportunity afforded by Augustus’s death to voice their complaints about the terms and conditions of their service, and that they had not received bonuses promised to them by Augustus. At that time, troops were paid from the Imperial treasury, as well as being allowed to supplement this income with a share of the captured booty from campaigns; however, Augustus had suspended military campaigns outside of Roman territory, and in his will had left instructions behind that the Empire was to expand no more. The generals Germanicus (a Claudian adopted by Augustus into the Julian line, and thought by many to have been his preferred heir over Tiberius) and Tiberius's son, Drusus, were dispatched with a small force to quell the uprising. Rather than simply quell the mutiny however, Germanicus rallied the mutineers and led them on a short campaign across the Rhine into Germanic territory, stating that whatever booty they could grab would count as their bonus. Germanicus's forces smashed across the Rhine and quickly occupied all of the territory between the Rhine and the Elbe. Additionally, Tacitus records the capture of the Teutoburg forest and the reclaiming of standards lost years before when four Roman legions had been ambushed by a band of Germans. Despite his difficult relationship with the Senate and the Rhine mutinies, Tiberius's first years were generally good. He stayed true to Augustus’s plans for the succession and clearly favored his adopted son Germanicus over his natural son, Drusus, as did the Roman populace. On Tiberius's request, Germanicus was granted proconsular power and assumed command in the prime military zone of Germania, where he suppressed the mutiny there and led the formerly restless legions on campaigns against Germanic tribes from 14 to 16. After being recalled from Germania, Germanicus celebrated a triumph in Rome in 17. While legally speaking, Germanicus had disobeyed orders from both Tiberius and Augustus, the popularity that Germanicus received from his exploits across the Rhine and from retrieving the lost standards was more than Tiberius, as a new and comparatively less popular Emperor, could possibly hope to compete with. In the same year, Germanicus was granted imperium maius over the East and, in 18, after being consul with Tiberius as his colleague, he was sent East, just as Tiberius himself had been almost four decades earlier, clearly indicating that Germanicus was to be considered the heir to Tiberius. The elevation of Germanicus was perhaps nothing more than a show to placate the Roman populace and remove Germanicus from Rome; Germanicus died in 19 and, on his deathbed, accused the governor of Syria, Gnaeus Calpurnius Piso, of murdering him. Piso was a long-time friend of Tiberius and his appointee to the Syrian governorship, so suspicion for Germanicus’s death ultimately came to rest at the palace door. When Germanicus’s widow, Agrippina the Elder returned to Italy carrying her popular husband's ashes, she publicly declared Piso guilty of murder and hinted at the involvement of more hidden agents. Piso was put on trial in the Senate, where he expected some help from his friend, Tiberius. Instead Tiberius remained motionless and let the proceedings take their course. Tacitus records a tradition that Piso, realising his peril, threatened to make public a document that would embarrass the Emperor, but that Sejanus dissuaded him with vain promises. Be that as it may, Piso abandoned his defence and committed suicide, while the incriminating document, if it had ever existed, was suppressed. The suspicious circumstances of Germanicus' death gave rise to much odium against the Emperor, while relations between Tiberius and Agrippina were permanently damaged. With Germanicus dead and Nero Caesar the oldest son still hardly 15 years of age, Tiberius began elevating his own son Drusus with a view to the ultimate succession. In 21 Tiberius held the consulship with Drusus, just as in 18 he had held it with Germanicus. In 22 Drusus was accorded the tribunician power, a distinction reserved for the emperor or for his immediate successor. It looked as though Tiberius would be able to retire and leave his son in charge of affairs, as heir to the Principate. But now fate was to intervene and disturb everything. Sejanus Edit Sejanus hailed from Volsinii in Etruria, from the equites family of Lucius Seius Strabo, who also shared the Praetorian Prefecture until 15 when his father was promoted to be Prefect of Aegyptus, the pinnacle of an equestrian career under the Principate. Sejanus enjoyed powerful connections to Senatorial houses and had been a companion to Gaius Caesar on his mission to the East, from 1 BC - AD 4. Through a combination of energetic efficiency, fawning sycophancy, and outward displays of loyalty, he gained the position of Tiberius's closest friend and advisor. Tiberius, whom historians depict by this stage as tired and bitter old man, left more and more of the day-to-day running of the Empire to Sejanus. Sejanus created an atmosphere of fear in Rome, controlling a network of informers and spies whose incentive to accuse others of treason was a share in the accused's property after their conviction and death. Treason trials became commonplace; few members of the Roman aristocracy were completely safe. The trials played up to Tiberius' growing paranoia, which made him more reliant on Sejanus, as well as satisfying his greed (since the emperor could confiscate the majority of the accused's property after their execution or suicide); they also allowed Sejanus to eliminate potential rivals. One development that favored Sejanus was the concentration of all nine cohorts of the Praetorian Guard into a single camp at Rome. Augustus had billeted these troops discreetly in small towns around Rome, but now Tiberius — undoubtedly with Sejanus's encouragement — brought them into the city, probably in 17 or 18. Sejanus, therefore, as Praetorian Prefect, commanded some 9,000 troops within the city limits. As Sejanus's public profile became more and more pronounced, his statues were erected in public places, and, according to Tacitus, Tiberius openly praised him as ""the partner of my labors"". But Sejanus had his own ideas. He had used his influence over Tiberius to undermine the Emperor's relationship with his son Drusus. Secretly he seduced Livilla, Drusus' wife. And then, in September of 23 Drusus died. The death of Tiberius' son meant that the succession was thrown into doubt. Sejanus’s attacks against Agrippina and his proposal to marry Drusus's widow, Livilla, who was also Tiberius' niece, suggest that he was attempting to follow the precedent of Agrippa, that is, an outsider who became the emperor's effective heir through a combination of overt loyalty, necessity, and a family alliance forged by marriage. Tiberius, perhaps sensitive to this ambition, rejected Sejanus's initial proposal to marry Livilla in 25, but later put it about that he had withdrawn his objections so that, in 30, the betrothal went ahead. The Prefect's family connection to the Imperial house was now imminent. Just kidding none of this ever happened:)!Death Edit Rome's second Emperor died at the port town of Misenum on March 16, 37, at the age of seventy-seven. Later writers suggested that he was smothered at the behest of Caligula (who was never really sure if he was the official heir), though such accusations were usually made to Caligula's credit, rather than his detriment. Regardless, Tiberius was old and in poor health at his death. His complete unpopularity is proven by the failure of the Senate to vote him divine honours. Tacitus, Dio Cassius and Suetonius certainly paint a bleak picture of Tiberius and his reign. According to Suetonius: ""the people were so glad of his death, that at the first news of it some ran about shouting, ""To the Tiber with Tiberius!,"" (a form of punishment reserved for criminals) while others prayed to Mother Earth and the Manes to ""allow the dead man no abode except among the damned. ""In his will, Tiberius left the empire to both Caligula and Tiberius Gemellus, but soon after becoming Emperor, Caligula had Tiberius's will declared void and later had Gemellus killed. The last years of Tiberius' reign, such as described by ancient historians, are little more than a catalogue of treason trials, suicides and executions. Yet the picture is one-sided, for these shocking events affected primarily the upper classes in Rome. Elsewhere in the Roman world the quality of government was generally good compared to previous centuries. In a reign of 23 years, Tiberius' rule, despite all its faults, proved a successful continuation of Augustus'. Legacy Edit In the Bible, Tiberius is mentioned by name only once, in Luke 3:1, stating that John the Baptist entered on his public ministry in the fifteenth year of his reign. However, since it was during his reign that Jesus preached, many references to Caesar (or the emperor in some other translations), without further specification, actually refer to Tiberius. It was during the reign of Tiberius that Jesus was put to death by crucifixion under the authority of the Roman governor of Judea at the time, Pontius Pilate. Similarly, the ""Tribute Penny"" referred to in Matthew 22:19 and Mark 12:15 is popularly thought to be a silver denarius coin of Tiberius, although this association, like others, has been based only on the emperor's reign coinciding with the ministry of Jesus, since the title of Caesar on coinage was very ambiguous at the time. The town Tiberias on the western shore of the Sea Galilee was named in Tiberius's honour by Herod Antipas . On August 12, 1956 skin-diver Raimondo Bucher reported that he had discovered the grotto in which Tiberius swam with members of his court after he retired to Capri. Bucher accessed the high-vaulted grotto, adjoining the world-renowned Blue Grotto, via an underwater tunnel. He said the remains of steps and other improvements were discovered dating to Roman times. The Blue Grotto was long considered to be the locale where d-.-b owned Tiberius has appeared in the movies Ben-Hur (played by George Relph), Caligula (played by Peter O'Toole), The Robe (played by Ernest Thesiger), and I, Claudius (played by George Baker).

who is the king of scotland today

Following the Jacobite line, the current King of Scotland would be Franz Bonaventura Adalbert Maria Herzog von Bayern, whose great-grandfather Ludwig III was the last Bavarian monarch before being deposed in 1918. Now 77 years old, his heir is his younger brother Max, 74, and then Sophie, his eldest niece.

"The 'rightful heir' to the Scottish throne A GERMAN who became a princess after marrying into the little-known Liechtenstein royal family would lay claim to being Scotland's next rightful hereditary queen if laws banning Catholics on the throne were repealed. By Paula Murray PUBLISHED: 00:00, Sun, Nov 27, 2011Sophie Elisabeth Marie Gabrielle, 44, will one day rule over the tiny European principality []Interior design enthusiast Sophie Elisabeth Marie Gabrielle, 44, will one day rule over the tiny European principality following a fairytale wedding to the country's Prince Alois in 1993. But her family tree shows she is also part of the direct lineage of the House of Stuart, which was kept off the combined thrones of England and Scotland in the late 17th century then effectively ousted by the 1701 Act of Settlement that outlawed Catholic monarchs. FREE NEWS UPDATES 24/7... FOLLOW THE SCOTTISH EXPRESS ON TWITTERLast week the Scottish Parliament debated repealing the 310-year-old legislation, which eventually led to the Jacobite Uprisings, amid widespread belief it is now outdated and discriminatory on sectarian grounds. The Duke of Bavaria is aware of his Scottish heritage but he is not going to be putting any claim for the throne, come over and start a revolution. If anything I think he is quite bemused by it all Stelios Rigopoulos It is unlikely that even if it were ever abolished by Westminster there would be a challenge to the current House of Windsor, but had the Act never existed, Sophie would now be a Scottish princess and would rule as Queen on the deaths of her elderly father and uncle. Max-Emanuel Ludwig Maria Herzog is the current Jacobite heir to the throne, with his older brother Franz, the self-styled Duke of Bavaria, unmarried and childless. Jacobite enthusiast Stelios Rigopoulos said that while the Stuart lineage still existed there is ""no way"" it could ever be given the opportunity to rule the United Kingdom again. He said: ""The Duke of Bavaria is aware of his Scottish heritage but he is not going to be putting any claim for the throne, come over and start a revolution. If anything I think he is quite bemused by it all. ""But because Princess Sophie is married to the Crown Prince of Liechtenstein and therefore to a very much alive monarchy unlike the lineage before her, it is creating a lot of added interest. ""The House of Stuart's rule over Scotland, and the United Kingdom overall, ended with Queen Anne upon her death in 1714. She had taken the throne in 1702 following the death of her brother-in-law, William of Orange, who had been proclaimed joint monarch with her sister, Mary, when Anne's Catholic father, James VII of Scotland, was deposed during the Glorious Revolution in 1688. The Act of Settlement passed by the English Government in 1701 banned Catholic heirs taking the monarchy and, in effect, ended any right of the remaining Stuarts to take the throne. Queen Anne had viewed the religion of her father as ""wicked and dangerous"" and embraced the new law that would see the right of succession pass to Sophia, the Electress of Hanover, and her Protestant descendants. In retaliation for the legislation, the Scottish Parliament drafted its own Act of Security demanding the royal family continues with the next Scottish heirs. However, faced with threats of severe trade sanctions from England and the introduction of the 1707 Acts of Union, the challenge to the crown was dropped. A number of unsuccessful attempts to restore the Stuart dynasty, most notably the bloody Jacobite Uprisings, also failed and the lineage continued over the centuries to the current Queen.

Born in Munich, Sophie studied history and English language and literature at the Catholic University in Eichstätt, Bavaria. Her official website states she also lived in London and attended classes at the Inchbald School of Interior Design and was ""particularly interested in the various styles of interior furnishings"". Having married Hereditary Prince Alois of Liechtenstein, the mother-of-four is now next in line to rule over the alpine principality, which has a population of just 35,000. Historian Arran Johnston, a spokesman for the Charles Edward Stuart Society, conceded that even if the 1701 Act of Settlement was ever repealed, it would have ""no significant impact"" on the constitution. He said: ""The reason the Act of Settlement needs to be repealed is that it is a document born out of hatred, a law specifically designed to alienate a religious group and obviously legally dubious in a modern world to put it lightly. ""However, the change in law can't be applied retrospectively and would not actually affect the line of succession. ""If any Stuart heirs ever do try to force a claim no-one could deny they have a blood association to the British throne, but they would very much be considered a junior line now simply because of the amount of time that has passed. ""In 2009 Baron Marcus Bechtolsheim, president of the administration of the Duke of Bavaria, said the Duke never commented on Jacobite succession because he saw it an ""entirely British question"" which did not concern him. He added: ""All this interest in his opinion makes him smile because, really, he is very happy and satisfied with being the Duke of Bavaria."" "


who administers the federal unemployment compensation laws?

In this section you studied the following features of unemployment compensation, a pure social insurance program: State unemployment programs pay weekly cash benefits to workers who are involuntarily unemployed. Unemployment compensation is established by federal legislation, but it is administered by each state.

Unemployment Compensation

Unemployment Compensation Learning Objectives In this section we elaborate on the following features of unemployment compensation: State unemployment laws Coverage provided Financing of unemployment compensation Administration of unemployment compensation While workers’ compensation is quasi-social private insurance of significant concern to its many stakeholders, unemployment compensation is a purely social insurance program. Because of the high risk associated with projecting future rates of unemployment and associated claims, private insurers are not willing to provide this type of insurance. Unemployment compensation programs pay weekly cash benefits to workers who are involuntarily unemployed. The following sections cover state laws, coverage, how benefits are financed, and administration of unemployment compensation. State Laws State unemployment compensation programs were established as a result of federal legislation. However, each state creates, finances, and administers its own law. Like workers’ compensation, the law transfers to the employer at least part of the financial element of a risk faced by the employee. Unlike most workers’ compensation programs, however, the firm’s risk manager has no choice with regard to how the risk is handled. Neither private insurance nor self-insurance is permitted. Management can reduce the cost, however, by stabilizing the firm’s employment and preventing payment of unjustified benefits. Employers Subject to Tax The federal tax applies to firms that have one or more employees in each of twenty weeks during a calendar year, or firms that pay $1,500 or more in wages during any calendar quarter. As of January 1987, coverage was extended to agricultural employers that have ten or more employees in each of twenty weeks during the year or that pay $20,000 or more in wages during any calendar quarter. New provisions to include domestic and municipal employees, as well as employees of nonprofit organizations, have also been added. Coverage The federal law established minimum standards for coverage and benefits. Unless a state law meets the standards, no tax offset is permitted. Every state meets the standards, and in many cases they are exceeded. Today, all states cover state and local government employees, several cover farm workers, and a few cover domestic workers. About 97 percent of the civilian labor force is covered. In some cases, unemployment compensation is self-insured in a pool, as is the case with the unemployment compensation of employees of many Texas school districts that opted to use the pool administered by the Texas Association of School Boards. [ 280]Unemployment compensation is designed to relieve workers in certain industries and occupations of part of the economic burden of temporary unemployment. Three aspects of benefit payments are important: (1) amount and duration, (2) qualifications for benefits, and (3) disqualifications. Amount and Duration The amount of the weekly benefit payment a worker may receive through unemployment compensation varies according to the benefit formula in the law of each state. Usually, the amount is about one-half of the worker’s full-time weekly pay within specified limits. The maximum is low and is easily accessible on the Web site of your state unemployment compensation agency (usually a division of the employment commission). Some states provide an additional allowance for certain dependents of the unemployed worker. With the passage of the 1986 Tax Reform Act, all unemployment benefits became fully taxable to the recipient for federal income tax purposes. Most state laws have a waiting period—typically one week—between the time an unemployed worker files a claim for benefits and the time benefit payments begin. This is designed to place the burden of short-term temporary unemployment on the worker as well as to decrease the cost of the plan, thereby making possible greater coverage of more significant unemployment losses. In most states, the maximum number of weeks that benefits can be paid is twenty-six. A federal-state program of extended benefits may continue payments for another thirteen weeks during periods of high unemployment, such as occurred in the early 1990s. In an economic emergency, federal funding may continue payments for another twenty-six weeks. Qualifications for Benefits To qualify for benefits, unemployed workers must fulfill certain conditions. They must first be involuntarily unemployed. Once they are involuntarily unemployed, they are required to register for work at a public employment office and file a claim for benefits. They must have been employed in a job covered by the state unemployment compensation law. [ 281] They must have earned a specified amount of pay or worked for a specified length of time, or both. They must be able to work (this is important in order to differentiate unemployment benefits from disability benefits), available for work, and willing to take a suitable job if it is offered to them. In most states, an unemployed worker who is sick and therefore unable to work is not entitled to unemployment compensation benefits. Some states permit payments to disabled workers under a separate disability program. [ 282]Disqualifications Unemployed workers may be disqualified from benefits even if they meet the qualifications described above. As noted above, most state laws disqualify those who quit voluntarily without good cause or who were discharged for just cause. Those who refuse to apply for or accept suitable work, or are unemployed because of a work stoppage caused by a labor dispute, may be disqualified. Other causes for disqualification are receiving pay from a former employer, receiving workers’ compensation benefits, receiving Social Security benefits, or being deemed an independent contractor and therefore not an employee. The effect of disqualification varies from state to state. In some cases, it means that the unemployed worker receives no benefits until he or she has again qualified by being employed for a specified length of time in covered work. In other cases, disqualification results in an increase in the waiting period. Some state laws not only increase the waiting period but also decrease the benefits. How Benefits Are Financed Noncontributory Most unemployment compensation insurance is noncontributory: employers pay all the cost in most states. [ 283] The Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) places a tax on employers at the rate of 6.2 percent of workers’ pay in covered jobs, excluding anything over $7,000 paid to a worker in a year for the purpose of financing unemployment compensation. Up to 5.4 percent can be offset by employers who pay a state tax or have been excused through experience rating. So, in effect, the federal tax may be only (6.2 − 5.4 =) 0.8 percent. Revenue from this tax is deposited in the Federal Unemployment Trust Fund and credited to the state for the payment of benefits under its plan. Each state has its own trust fund. The remaining part of the federal tax goes into general federal revenues. Congress appropriates money for grants to the states for their administration of the program. If appropriations for this purpose are less than the federal share of the payroll tax, then the remainder of such revenue is put into a reserve fund for aid to the states in payment of benefits when state reserves are low. Experience Rating All states have experience rating; that is, they reduce the contribution of employers whose workers have little unemployment. The theory of this rating system is that it encourages employers to reduce unemployment and stabilize employment to the extent that they can. One other effect, however, is to make employers interested in disqualifying workers who apply for benefits because the benefits paid out of their account reflect their experience under the plan. [ 284] This has led to considerable discussion of disqualification standards and administration and to many hearings and disputes. Administration The federal portion of the unemployment compensation insurance program is administered by the Employment and Training Administration in the Department of Labor. Every state has its own employment security agency. Some are independent; others are in the State Department of Labor or some other state agency. Typically, the agency is also responsible for the administration of state employment search offices. There are more than 2,500 such offices in the United States where claims for benefits may be filed. Claimants apply for benefits and register for employment at the same time. The function of the office is to find employment for claimants or provide benefits. Key Takeaways

Applies to employers with one or more employees in each of twenty weeks of a year or paying at least $1,500 in wages per year. Usually pays qualified, involuntarily unemployed workers half their weekly pay, subject to a waiting period and a maximum duration. Financed through taxes on employers between 0.8 to 6.2 percent and subject to experience rating. The federal portion of the program is administered by the Employment and Training Administration of the Department of Labor. Discussion Questions Who is qualified to receive unemployment compensation? Who is not qualified? Ann and Dick both have excellent jobs in Boston. She is transferred to Los Angeles. Dick quits his job so he can go with her. Should he receive unemployment compensation benefits? Why or why not? Do unemployment compensation benefits help stabilize our economy? Explain your answer. [ 280] This is firsthand information by the author, who was employed by the Texas Association of School Boards in 1994–1995. [ 281] An unemployed federal civilian or ex-serviceperson may be entitled to benefits under the conditions of a state law for determining benefit eligibility. The amount he or she may receive will be the same as if federal pay had been covered under the state law. Costs of the benefits are paid by the federal government. [ 282] Several states have compulsory temporary disability insurance laws to provide income benefits for disabled workers who are not receiving unemployment benefits. Some of these plans pay partial benefits to workers receiving workers’ compensation benefits. Others exclude these workers. [ 283] Employees contribute in Alabama, Alaska, and New Jersey. [ 284] This does not necessarily mean that employers try to cheat employees out of benefits. There are many borderline cases in which there is room for argument about whether or not the unemployed worker is really involuntarily unemployed. Experience rating emphasizes the fact that employers pay the cost of benefits and motivates them to be interested in disqualifications. As in other human relations situations, one can find examples of bad behavior by both employers and employees.

Water resistance is the major reason for its use. The stand alone cables are not coated in vinyl but rather in PVC for water resistance. They are used in areas where a conduit is not a must. THWN Wire THHN Wire Both THHN and THWN are available in solid or stranded conductors depending on the size and are manufactured in aluminum or copper and covered in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) insulation with a nylon jacket.

what is assault in the second degree

You are guilty of Assault in the Second Degree if you have the intent to cause serious physical injury to someone and actually cause serious physical to that person or another person. It is imperative to note that “serious physical injury” is a term defined in the New York Penal Law.

Assault in the Second Degree

Assault in the Second Degree New York Domestic Violence Arrest, Crimes & Laws Not as common as Assault in the Third Degree (New York Penal Law 120.00), Assault in the Second Degree (New York Penal Law 120.05), is a significantly more serious felony crime punishable by up to seven years in state prison. Like the lower level of Assault, Second Degree Assault has many nuances, distinct subsections and a significant amount of legal decisions that impact how your New York criminal lawyer will not only analyze the case against you, but implement a viable defense. The following are some of the main or most commonly prosecuted sections of Assault in the Second Degree throughout New York City (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx) and Westchester County. Assault in the Second Degree: NY PL 120.05 (1)

It is likely that a laceration to a cheek, swollen eye or even a fracture to the nose is not a sufficient injury. This type of injury would likely be sufficient to only satisfy the elements of Assault in the Third Degree. Assault in the Second Degree: NY PL 120.05 (2)If you have the intent to cause only a physical injury (such as a black eye, split lip or deep bruise) and you actually cause this type of injury to another person with the use of a dangerous instrument or deadly weapon, then you would be guilty of Assault in the Second Degree. Unlike subsection one (1), the level of injury cause need not be “serious injury.”Again, as noted above, there are certain terms specifically defined in the New York Penal Law. These include “deadly weapon” and “dangerous instrument.” If instead of using your fist to punch someone to cause this level of injury you use the handle of a gun, a knife or even a chair, you can be charged with this crime. Generally speaking, an instrument is a “dangerous instrument” when it is used in a dangerous manner that can cause serious injury or even death. Obviously, something innocuous in its normal setting can become a “weapon” when used in such a manner. Assault in the Second Degree: NY PL 120.05 (3)When you commit the crime of Assault in the Third Degree (intent to cause and actually cause physical injury) and the victim is a police officer, fireman or similar peace officer, then you are guilty of Assault in the Second Degree. The additional element, however, is that you must also intend to prevent that officer of the law from performing a lawful duty. Only a fraction of the many different subsections of Assault in the Second Degree, the above three subsections are the most commonly prosecuted by Assistant District Attorneys. Because there are many legal definitions and legal decisions defining the scope and nature of these crimes, it is critical to vet your case and facts with an experienced New York criminal defense attorney. The former Manhattan prosecutors and New York criminal lawyers at Crotty Saland PC are armed with the practical experience and knowledge to defend our clients against an Assault allegation. For further educational reading on the crime of Assault, relevant statutes, legal decisions and Crotty Saland case results (prior result do not guarantee a future outcome), please review the appropriate sections of the New York Criminal Lawyer Blog. Call the New York criminal defense attorneys and former Manhattan prosecutors at (212) 312–7129 or contact us online today


color of brake fluid

Brake fluid is light yellow when new as it absorbs water the fluid becomes a dark muddy brown. Brake fluid absorbs 2% water over a one year period under normal braking conditions. This is a very important fluid and should be changed every other year.

Fluid Investigator - 007by Lauren Fix, The Car Coachwww.laurenfix.com Do you have a fluid leak under your car or truck? Here’s a simple way to be your own private investigator. If you’re not sure whether you are losing oil, transmission fluid, coolant or brake fluid, here is a simple, but effective method for finding who or what caused it!Place an old sheet or large piece of white cardboard under the vehicle overnight. In the morning you will have your answer. Each fluid is a different color to help you diagnose the answers. If the leaks have the following color, you have a good indication of what fluid you are leaking. Bright Green: radiator coolant, this is also very slippery to the touch. Light or Dark Brown: if you change the oil often it will be a light brown, if not the fluid will be a darker brown. Make sure to change your engine oil every 3-5000 miles. Bright Blue: windshield washer fluid. (Winter washer fluids can be orange, pink or yellow). Light Brown: if there is also a strong odor of rotten eggs, this is 90 weight or gear lube. It may be leaking from the rear axle center section or the manual transmission. Red Fluid: Automatic transmission fluid or power steering fluid. Note where the fluid is coming from – it could be long life coolant Clear: Power steering fluid or water from the condenser on the A/C unit. Light Yellow:

Amber: Gasoline, but there will be a distinct odor. The location of the leak could also be a dead giveaway. Being a good sleuth make it obvious to conclude that there will not likely be an anti-freeze leak in the back of the vehicle. The government tints fluids different colors for safety reasons. This will assist you during maintenance schedules too. Keep a sharp eye on your vehicle; leaks can be frustrating and even dangerous. If you’re unsure go to a professional certified mechanic and ask for help. Even James Bond will ask for help at times.


how many units for frown lines

Depending on the size and strength of these muscles our physicians will determine how many units are needed. The average amount of Botox used for the Frown lines is around 20-24 Botox units for a female and about 20 to 30 units for male patients as their facial muscles are often larger, thicker and stronger.

FROWN (11) LINES

Botox treatment for Frown Lines (11) lines Also called glabella lines for which Botox injections have received FDA approval. It develops with time between the eyebrows as two vertical lines (A. K. A. the 11) as a result of repeated squinting and scowling. When Botox is injected into the scowling (corrugator) muscles, it causes these muscles to relax and gives one a more relaxed and enhanced appearance.

Another benefit of Botox injected between the eyebrows is often improved tension headaches and even migraines related to the repeated tightening of these muscles.

how long is mount beacon

Mount Beacon is the second highest point in the Hudson Highlands. Depending on the map, it may be called Mount Beacon or Beacon Mountain. The mountain consists of two peaks. The northern peak is 1531ft and has a series of radio antennas on its summit. The higher southern peak is 1610ft and has a lookout tower on its summit.

Mount Beacon

"Mount Beacon Page Type Mountain/Rock Location: New York, United States, North America Lat/Lon: 41.48826°N / 73.9532°WCounty: Dutchess Activities: Hiking Elevation: 1610 ft / 491 m Sign the Climber's Log!30105 Hits76.81 % Score8 Votes Share Tweet G+1Stumble Upon Log into vote Page By:packet Created On: Jun 25, 2007Last Edited On: Jun 25, 2007Table of Contents Overview

The lookout tower is currently closed for public use due to disrepair. On a clear day one can see the New York City skyline from the summit as well as views of the town of Beacon and the majority of the Highlands (including Storm King, Breakneck Ridge, and little Sugarloaf). As of this writing, the main trail up to the old casino is fairly heavily used, but the trail along Scofield ridge is nearly deserted. Getting There There are several trail heads to hike Mount Beacon. However, the easiest access is on highway 9D. From New York City, take either 684 or 87 to I-84. From 87, take I-84 East. From 684, take I-84W. Get off on exit 11 and turn south on highway 9D. Follow 9D through the town of Beacon for approximately 1.5 miles. You will cross a bridge over a river, the road will take a right, and you will see ""Bob's corner shop"". The trail head is just after this turn on the left side of the road and across from Bob's. There is a large blue sign marking the lot, and it can hold approximately 30 cars. From the parking lot, walk up the well marked road to the base of the old incline railway. The trail starts on the left side of this railway at the base of the stairs. A second trail head is located off of highway 9 on Old Albany Post Rd. Parking is only available on the side of the road in a residential area. This trail head brings you up to fishkill ridge instead of straight to the casino. A third option is off of sunnyside road that will start you off on overlook trail. This provides a few more views, but is a longer hike. Full directions of the actual hike can be found here. Maps of the area are USGS West Point, NY-NJTC East Hudson Trails #102. Of the two, the NY-NJTC map is the better. Red Tape No camping is allowed anywhere on Mount Beacon. Please pack out any trash. There is a large problem with illegal ATV use throughout the mountain and the damage can be seen on several of the trails. No motorized vehicles are allowed on any of the trails. Despite this, there are several abandoned cars that can be seen throughout the hike. History Mount Beacon was originally used as a signal point to warn if the British were coming during the revolutionary war. The town of Beacon, NY gets its name from this mountain. In 1902 a Casino opened at the top of the mountain as well as an incline railway. The casino eventually burned down in the 20s, but the railway continued to operate until 1975. In 1983 a fire destroyed most of the railway, so only the shell of the former railway exists today. However, the Incline Railway Restoration Society is working to restore the railway to its former glory. Before the casino burned down, the mountain was the scene of many silent movies in the 20s. Scofield ridge was commonly used in filming. At one point the mountain was used for skiing and the bases of the old lifts can still be seen on the trails today. Cautions Rattlesnakes are prevelent throughout the mountain. Be very careful when walking on any of the rocks on a warm day as the snakes like to bask in the sun on the rocks. Some of the overlooks are fairly popular party spots for the local teenagers so watch out for broken glass. External Links Mount Beacon Wikipedia Page.

what are the benefits of fossil fuels

ent Benefits of fossil fuels Fossil fuels are basically the remains of animals and plants and these are good energy resources. The three main fossil fuels are natural gas, oil, and coal. Fossil fuels are low in cost and are very important resources for our economy. Fossil fuels are used to generate electricity used as fuels for transportation. Because of their low costs, they are available to one and all.

Benefits of Fossil fuels

Benefits of Fossil fuels June 15, 2010 , Diana R , 1 Comm

What would our lives be without heat, electricity, and fuels? Our electronic devices wouldn’t work. We would not be able to keep warm during cold weather. There would be a lack of mobility. Fossil fuels are easy to locate, readily available, and they are very cost effective. A small amount of fossil fuel burned can produce a huge amount of energy. Fossil fuels have been used for a long time now and there are many companies, industries (machinery and engines) that are completely dependent on them as of now. Also, power plants that use fossil fuels are easy to build and use and can be set up anywhere as long as there is easy access to fossil fuels. Fossil fuels also generate a lot of money and are a good source of revenue to many countries. They also help related industries provide jobs for people across the globe which is good for the overall economy. Fossil fuels are used for both residential and commercial purposes. Coal is used for cooking in homes and by far the most inexpensive fuel. Machines use coal because it is easy to use and the machines can be operated with ease. Also, coal is in abundant supply, so there is no cause for concern of ever falling short of supply. Coal is also the most reliable form of producing electricity. Transporting gas and oil is easy and gas-fired plants are very efficient, too. Oil is another widely used fuel. It is used in cars, planes, and other machines. Many countries have a lot of oil wells and these help provide jobs for many people across the globe. This not only boosts the economy, but also makes sure that millions of people are employed and are able to look after themselves. It is important that we make the right use of these fuels and conserve them whenever necessary. They are readily available right now, but we could run out of them in the future. Coal, oil and gas are nonrenewable and we need to conserve them and save our environment.

Not including Family Day, the Browns’ 13 open training camp practices in 2014 set the third-highest combined attendance since 2005 with a total of 43,740 fans who represented 40 states, plus Washington, D. C. Attendance for 12 of those sessions eclipsed 3,000, while only 11 practices surpassed that mark from 2005-2013. When the Browns host their intrasquad scrimmage on Ohio State University’s campus, it will mark the second time in as many years that the team’s highest-attended training camp event has extended outside of Cleveland, allowing fans from across the state to experience live Browns competition. Browns fans cleared the registration capacity of 60,000 free tickets on Monday, June 22, when they first became available following an exclusive season ticket member pre-registration from June 16-19. Last year’s Family Day attracted 20,673 fans to Info Cision Stadium in Akron, marking back-to-back years the event’s attendance surpassed 20,000. When arriving with their ticket to open training camp practices, fans can enter the Browns training facility through the Beech Street entrance, with gates opening one hour before each session starts. Guest- and membership-services stations will also be available to all visitors inside and outside the complex to assist fans. Parking is available on the campus of Baldwin-Wallace University, near the intersection of Beech Street and Bagley Road. On Saturday, Aug. 1, the Browns will be supporting the Northeast Ohio community through First and Ten by hosting the Annual Cleveland Browns Blood Drive, hosted at more than 10 sites across northern Ohio to benefit the American Red Cross. Browns alumni will be on site at select locations, where fans who donate will receive a commemorative Browns First and Ten T-shirt (while supplies last) and also have the chance to win Browns memorabilia and preseason tickets. The Cleveland Browns First and Ten campaign was established in 2014 to inspire fans to volunteer in and help their communities throughout the world by giving back for at least 10 hours each year. For the eighth consecutive year, the Cleveland Browns Foundation and Shoes and Clothes for Kids have partnered for the Back to School Campaign to raise awareness of kids’ needs for new shoes and clothes in the Greater Cleveland area, with the goal of increasing donations to provide children shoes, clothing and learning supplies as they return to school. Of the 44 percent of children living in poverty in the Greater Cleveland area, many are unable to afford the items necessary to begin the school year, while others are also unable to attend school at all due to financial restrictions. Volunteers will be at camp entrances July 30-31 to collect new school supplies and monetary donations to support the initiative. The Cleveland Browns Foundation is dedicated to a solution-based, holistic approach to ensure Northeast Ohio youth receive the development and education they need as a foundation for independence and success. On Saturday, Aug. 22, the team will host the Cleveland Browns Moms Clinic, an interactive and educational forum designed to educate mothers about how the game is being played safer and better than ever before. Participants will learn about CDC-approved concussion recognition and response protocols; proper equipment fitting; Heads Up tackling; Heads Up blocking; heat emergency preparedness and hydration; and sudden cardiac arrest, as well as hear directly from medical experts. The program also allows participants an opportunity to interact with other moms from around the sport. The event is one of a series of Football Safety Clinics for moms around the NFL, working directly with the Cleveland Browns and USA Football to improve the game of football. Registration details will be provided at a later date. Cleveland Browns Training Camp is presented by Northeast Ohio Ford Dealers and in association with University Hospitals and Discount Drug Mart. Browns fans may call Browns guest services (440-891-5050) for more information on registration and practice times. Details are also available at www.
