![]() To state a claim under Utah law for wrongful termination in violation of public policy, a plaintiff must plead the following elements: (i) that his employer terminated him (ii) that a clear and substantial public policy existed (iii) that the employee s conduct brought the policy into play and (iv) that the discharge and the conduct bringing the policy into play are causally connected. STAA Lone Wolf argues that Johnson s claim for wrongful termination in violation of public policy fails as a matter of law because the STAA provides an adequate alternative remedy. 2 Alternatively, Lone Wolf seeks to dismiss Johnson s second cause of action to the extent that it is brought against Robbins individually, arguing that the cause of action can only be asserted against the employer. ![]() DISCUSSION Lone Wolf seeks to dismiss Johnson s second cause of action for wrongful termination in violation of public policy, arguing that there is an adequate alternative remedy under the STAA. ![]() Johnson s Complaint against Lone Wolf and Robbins asserts a cause of action under the Surface Transportation Assistance Act ( STAA ) and a common law cause of action for wrongful termination in violation of public policy. Lone Wolf terminated Johnson s employment for his refusal to alter his log book, his refusal to return and drive a commercial vehicle the next day, and for his complaints to Robbins that these things would involve regulatory violations. Johnson also complained to Robbins about Lone Wolf s regulatory violations in regard to drive time hours and record of duty by drivers. ![]() On this same day, Johnson refused to alter his driving log book. After a heated discussion, where Johnson reiterated that requiring him to work the next day would result in a regulatory violation and Robbins repeated his request that Johnson work the next day, Johnson refused to work and Robbins terminated Johnson s employment. Robbins responded that none of that mattered to him and that Johnson was required to work the next day. Johnson informed Robbins that he was out of available drive-time hours and that he was required by the Department of Transportation regulations to take off a minimum of twenty-four hours. As of June 15, 2011, Johnson had worked fifteen of the last sixteen days and the last ten consecutive days. On June 15, 2011, Robbins required Johnson to work the following day. Defendant Rick Robbins was the manager of Lone Wolf s Vernal, Utah office and Johnson s supervisor at all relevant times. BACKGROUND Plaintiff Darren Johnson began working as a wireline operator for Lone Wolf in April, 2010. Now being fully advised, the court renders the following Memorandum Decision and Order. The court has considered carefully the memoranda submitted by the parties, as well as the law and facts relating to the motion. The court took the matter under advisement. Franson, and Defendants were represented by Scott A. At the hearing, Plaintiff was represented by Bruce M. The court held a hearing on the motion on April 24, 2013. and Rick Robbins s Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff s Second Cause of Action pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). This matter is before the court on Defendants Lone Wolf Wireline, Inc. 2:12CV1087 LONE WOLF WIRELINE, INC., and RICK ROBBINS, Judge Dale A. _ IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF UTAH CENTRAL DIVISION DARREN JOHNSON, Plaintiff, MEMORANDUM DECISION AND ORDER vs. ![]() ![]() It packs 45 points and does a decent job with moving subjects, so if you’re looking to shoot sports or fast-paced events, the T8i is a good pick. The best autofocus offered by any Canon entry-level DSLR.A great shooting experience, thanks to a beautiful rear LCD (which is both fully articulating and touch sensitive). ![]() A relatively lightweight body in a small package, perfect for travel and walkaround photography.It’s also the most powerful, plus it offers 4K recording, so if you’re looking for a camera that’s capable of pro-level results, the T8i is worth a look. The Canon EOS Rebel T8i is the most expensive Canon DSLR on this list. So if you’re a vlogger or a videography beginner, I’d recommend looking at one of the other models on this list (such as the Canon EOS Rebel S元, which is well priced and very capable). Last, the T7 does offer video, but it’s hardly worth mentioning recording maxes out at 1080p and can only shoot at 30 frames per second. But if you’re looking to shoot portrait or landscape subjects, it’s decently capable. Moving subjects are trickier, so I certainly wouldn’t recommend the T7 for action photography. Even the high-ISO performance isn’t bad, allowing you to shoot in low light without too much trouble (which is essential if you plan to photograph indoor events or anything after dark).Īs for the autofocus: I’m not sure nice is the right word to describe it, but it’s passable and can handle still subjects. The 24 MP files look great, and you’ll be able to make beautiful prints. Then there’s the image quality, which is genuinely impressive, especially for a sub-$500 camera. While I do wish the T7 had a fully articulating screen, the LCD does look nice and is perfect for reviewing images or shooting in Live View. You’ll also appreciate how small the Canon Rebel T7 is, perfect for doing travel photography or just taking your camera everywhere you go. But Canon’s plastic bodies actually feel pretty good in your hands, thanks to their carefully molded features and well-positioned buttons. Like the other DSLRs on this list, the T7 is made of plastic. The Canon EOS Rebel T7 is inexpensive, it feels good, and it takes great photos – so if you’re a beginner looking for a basic DSLR, it’s a great choice. So if you’re a stills shooter looking for a compact camera, or you’re a videographer after budget 4K, the S元 is the way to go. The Rebel S元 is an impressively well-rounded Canon DSLR, and it doesn’t break the bank. For vloggers and even enthusiast videographers, this should be very manageable, and you’re certainly not going to find a more powerful pick on this list. You get real, genuine 4K/24p (though you do have a crop to contend with). Videographers will love the ability to flip out the LCD and monitor recording, and vloggers will jump at the chance to view themselves while shooting.įinally, there’s the video specs, and they are outstanding, especially for the price. You can use it to get down low when photographing flowers and other macro subjects, or you can use it to photograph skyscrapers without hurting your neck. This is one of the things I love about Canon’s cameras – a fully articulating LCD is just so darn useful. Speaking of the rear LCD, the S元’s is fully articulating, plus it has touch functionality. So if you like focusing via the rear LCD, the S元 offers a huge improvement over most other options on the market. But focusing via the optical viewfinder is decent and will do just fine with still subjects, plus Live View focusing really is snappy thanks to Canon’s excellent Dual Pixel AF technology. Personally, I like the idea of using the S元 as a take-anywhere body, or even as a street photography camera – it really is that small and inconspicuous (at least compared to other DSLRs). You can easily slip it into a backpack or a suitcase, and you can wear it around your neck comfortably for ages, which makes the S元 a leading choice for travel photographers, walkaround photographers, and more. It’s an absolute favorite of mine, and it’s one that appeals to beginners, enthusiasts, vloggers, videographers, and even the occasional professional, thanks to its unique blend of features.įirst, the Canon EOS Rebel S元 is compact. The Canon EOS Rebel S元 is, simply put, the best budget Canon DSLR available today (if not the best budget DSLR on the market, period).

Differences between analog and cloud-based phone systems As long as you have a strong internet connection (at least 1 Mbps per user), you’ll enjoy unlimited calls in HD quality.

![]() If a piñata is on the red side, the lowest total will win the candy on the piñata. Each piñata is double-sided and has a red and a purple side. Once no more cards can be played on either side of a piñata, the piñata is scored. ![]() Players must play on their side of a piñata until no more matching cards can be played on their side then they may play on their opponent’s side of a piñata.Players must play cards that match the color of candy on a piñata (so, for example, if a red and a green candy are on the 2 piñata, players must play a red and a green card ).On a player’s turn, he or she must play one card and draw one card. Players draw candy pieces from the included bag and place the candy on the piñatas according to the number on the piñata (for example, one piece goes on the 1, two pieces on the 2, etc.). To begin the game, players place the four numbered piñatas in the center of the table. There are five medals matching the five colors of candy, and the first player to collect three medals wins the game. Piñata is a set collection/hand management game for two players, ostensibly about winning medals for getting candy from a piñata. You can taste victory…but can you find it in the dark? How It Works Now the crowd has turned against you as you beat the air, hoping against hope that candy will shower you with sugar. You chuckle and chuckle at your clever dodges and revel in the laughter of the crowd. Or loosening your grip to ground the piñata as she swings high. A swing and a miss! You love tugging that little line, drawing the bounteous piñata higher and higher as the blindfolded batter swings low.

The main character Neo has a choice: take the blue pill and forget about all the suspicions he's had about the world in which he lives or take the red pill and uncover the truth.Īfter choosing the red pill, Neo wakes up in a pod full of liquid and learns that humans are being pacified with a simulation of reality to keep them passive, to computers who have taken over the world. The Matrix offers a similar proposition: that the world we are living in is merely a simulation. Escape forms a pivotal point of Truman's character arc development. Truman's escape from the Cave symbolizes his growth into a mature adult and the realization that the Cave we all live in is only what our imagination allows. The Truman Show is the perfect example of Plato's Allegory of the Cave. But he also experiences the prejudices of Lord Farquaad. In Shrek, Shrek is forced to leave the comfort of his swamp - the Cave - for the wider world, including the town of Far Far Away, where he encounters love for the first time in the form of Princess Fiona. In the third film, Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry and the other third years, now thirteen, are permitted to leave Hogwarts for the first time and explore the even bigger world of the Wizarding village of Hogsmeade. In the process, he develops friends and learns why his parents were killed. He then enters the Wizarding World, where everybody knows his name. In Harry Potter, Harry is rescued from the small and abusive world of his Aunt and Uncle's cupboard under the stairs. Growing up and leaving the comfort of home is philosophically enlightening but, at first, overwhelming. The Cave - the world your main character inhibits - is generally relatively small and restrictive. All narrative is a growth journey, out of the darkness and into the light. The Allegory of the Cave is closely linked to Joseph Campbell's theory: Hero's Journey and Dan Harmon's Story Circle. You might wonder what utility Allegory of the Cave has in the practical work of writing your screenplay. How to use allegory in your screenwriting If you want to incorporate some of these ideas into your screenplay or are particularly interested in meta-narrative, then it is well worth making some notes that you can refer back to later. You can read a more detailed summary of the Allegory of the Cave as part of Plato's Republic here. It is a classic work of literature well worth investigating for yourself. ![]() Where can you read the Allegory of the Cave?įollowing this link, you can read the original Plato's Allegory of the Cave. Narratives exist within a cave so that we as an audience exit when we leave the cinema or turn off our television, adjusting to the light of our own safe world, removed from the ideas presented to us in the film. The Cave story also reveals something more fundamental about narrative itself. And when we don't, we will no longer be able to step back into the darkness so easily. If we open our minds to new ideas and belief systems, we can expand our universe. Plato's Cave has at its heart internal conflict. The world is only as big as we can imagine. The hidden message of Plato's Cave is an escape from ignorance. ![]() ![]() However, one prisoner manages to escape, and somebody drags one of the prisoners around the fire and into the real world. To the prisoners in the Cave who have lived there since early childhood, this is what they believe to be their world. A series of people they can't see project shadow puppets onto the wall in front of them. A bright fire is burning behind them, seemingly preventing them from escaping. The story is told as a dialogue between philosophers Glaucon and Socrates, narrated by Socrates.Ī group of prisoners live in a cave. In much the same way, Orwell's Animal Farm is not really about animals but what those animals represent, so the Cave is not really about a cave. Plato’s Allegory of the Cave is an allegory: a story with a hidden meaning. Here's Plato's Allegory of the Cave: explained. Learning about it can fundamentally change how you approach writing screenplays. ![]() It is one of history's most important philosophical works dating back thousands of years. Have you ever wondered how philosophy and narrative intersect? Where the difference lies between a film and reality? One way we decipher this complex message is through Plato’s Allegory of The Cave. This should be simply taken out and thoroughly cleaned after each use. The bacteria and dirt particles which are sucked in are collected in the filter sponge. If using alternately in several aquariums, please make sure that algae spores or diseases are not transmitted from one to the other. The EHEIM skim350, although designed for constant use is also suitable for short term use. With the EHEIM skim350 surface skimmer, you can efficiently eliminate this mould film and have a glass clear water surface and high oxygenation. In almost any aquarium a film of including microorganisms, dust, oils and food fats forms over time – the mould film. It impedes skimmer function only slightly more than number 3, but still allows for effective skimming.EHEIM skim350 – the micro- surface skimmer for smaller aquariums up to 350 l. Should keep out shrimp down to sub-adult size. The water goes through this mesh very easily and since the surface is larger it can take more than two plant leaves before clogging. The modification steals a little bit of movement room from the skimmer. It also happens to be my favorite material for use in securing pump outlets from athletic and suicidal fish. The mesh is stretchy and easy to wrap around things, but a bit delicate so take care when cleaning it and dont pull too hard. Modification number 5 is my favorite so far. That was not a risk I was willing to take. I have not tested this one for long as there is a chance fish will go over the top and end up in the skimmer. ![]() You could probably experiment with different densities of mesh to find one where the water will go mostly unimpeded through the holes while keeping critters out. This mesh is much too fine and the water just bypasses the mesh and flows over the top. It goes inside the slots like in the second picture here that I have shamelessly stolen from the internet. Modification number 4 is stainless steel mesh cannibalized from a shrimp intake guard. With this mesh the skimmer function is barely disturbed, but it needs to be kept an eye on, because a few plant leaves will clog it up and the skimmer will suck down the head and stop skimming. This will only keep out shrimp down to sub-adult size, but I found in my tank that the smallest baby shrimp tend to stay in the plants and not swim about that much so I found it to be an acceptable tradeoff. I cut the mesh to fit between the slots and attached it with synthetic sewing thread under the lip of the head to lock it down. If the ebay link expires some time in the future, it can be found by searching for "Plastic drainage mesh". ![]() Modification number 3 is a stiff mesh made of plastic. The modified skimmer head will need to be cleaned often. ![]() This mesh should keep out all but the absolutely smallest baby shrimp, but you lose some effectiveness of the skimmer. ![]() It should be possible to get the material in black as well. I bought mine from a local store but found a very similar looking product on ebay. Modification number 2 was this mosquito netting made to cover your head. (Skimmer part +final modification for scale in photos). The mesh is completely baby shrimp proof but almost completely inhibited the functioning of the skimmer. Modification number 1 was a covering of this very fine mesh, repurposed from a bird cage seed catcher from ebay. I have tried out various materials and figured I would list them here for the benefit of others I recently purchased an Eheim Skim 350 and found myself in the same spot as many others, needing to shrimp and fish-proof the skimmer opening. |
