			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Times New Roman;">If you love heavy music of all types, from; Metal, Hardcore, Punk, Rock, Emo, Grind, Death Metal, Math-core, and more then you should head to the only place that can give you your daily fix of <a href="http://playthecrowd.com" target="_blank">metal news</a> - playthecrowd.com<br />
</span><span style="small;"><span style="Times New Roman;"><span style="bold;">Heavy metal</span><span style="EN;"> (often referred to simply as <span style="bold;">metal</span>) is a genre of rock music that developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s, largely in the United Kingdom and the United States. With roots in blues-rock and psychedelic rock, the bands that created heavy metal developed a thick, massive sound, characterized by highly amplified distortion, extended better guitar solos, and emphatic beats. Allmusic states that &#8220;of all rock &amp; roll&#8217;s myriad forms, heavy metal is the most extreme in terms of volume, machismo, and theatricality.&#8221;<br />
</span></span></span><span style="EN;"><span style="small;"><span style="Times New Roman;">Early heavy metal bands such as Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and Deep Purple attracted large audiences, though they were often critically reviled a status common throughout the history of the genre. In the mid-1970s, Judas Priest helped spur the genre&#8217;s evolution by discarding much of its blues influence; Motörhead introduced a punk rock sensibility and an increasing emphasis on speed. Bands in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal such as Iron Maiden followed in a similar vein. Before the end of the decade, heavy metal had attracted a worldwide following of fans known as &#8220;metalheads&#8221; or &#8220;headbangers.&#8221;<br />
</span></span></span><span style="EN;"><span style="small;"><span style="Times New Roman;">In the mid-1980s, pop-infused glam metal became a major commercial force with groups like Mötley Crüe. Underground scenes produced an array of more extreme, aggressive styles: thrash metal broke into the mainstream with bands such as Metallica who always stay in the <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk">news</a>, while other styles like death metal and black metal remain sub-cultural phenomena. Since the mid-1990s, popular styles such as nu-metal, which often incorporates elements of funk and hip hop; and metalcore, which blends extreme metal with hardcore punk, have further expanded the definition of the genre.<br />

<p><strong><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial" lang="EN-US">Introduction<span>  </span><o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%"><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Arial" lang="EN-US">John Bowers QC of Littleton Chambers is one of the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">UK</st1:country-region></st1:place>’s premier <a href="http://www.littletonchambers.com/Practice-Group/Employment.aspx">employment</a> barristers. John took silk in 1998 and has been with <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Littleton</st1:city></st1:place> chambers, widely regarded as the Country’s preeminent employment set, since <span style="color: red">1985..</span> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%"><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Arial" lang="EN-US">John has enjoyed a superb year at the Bar, most noticeably in the areas of Equal Pay, Whistleblowing and TUPE, acting mainly for Respondents, where he has been involved in some of the highest profile cases and has provided ongoing advice work that will have a significant impact on the future development of these areas.<span>  </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 150%"><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Arial" lang="EN-US">John has the seventh largest number of reported cases in Industrial Relations Law Reports (since the outset of that report) and the third highest in respect of those still practising. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%"><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Arial" lang="EN-US">As a senior member of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Littleton</st1:city></st1:place>, John has played a major part in the development of chambers over the last year. 2007 saw the arrival of two leading juniors as part of the Set’s expansion drive in its Employment practice. Chris Quinn joined the team from Cloisters; Damian Brown from <st1:street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">Old Square</st1:address></st1:street>. Additionally, <st1:city w:st="on">Littleton</st1:city> recruited a new Chief Executive in 2007, Gerard Hickie, from one of <st1:place w:st="on">Europe</st1:place>’s leading consumer brand companies, to help take chambers to the next stage in its development.<span>            </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%"><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Arial" lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%"><st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on"><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Arial" lang="EN-US">Littleton</span></st1:city></st1:place><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Arial" lang="EN-US"> was also recognised nationally in 2007 for spearheading the mediation trend through the establishment of its alternative dispute resolution company, Littleton Dispute Resolution. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%"><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Arial" lang="EN-US">We believe that John’s track-record, his contribution to the development of his Set, and his results over the last year merit his being recognised as the Barrister of the Year by <em>The Lawyer </em>magazine.<span>          </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 150%"><strong><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Arial" lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></strong></p>
<p style="line-height: 150%"><strong><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Arial" lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></strong></p>
<p style="line-height: 150%"><strong><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Arial" lang="EN-US">Equal Pay<span>  </span><o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%"><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Arial" lang="EN-US">John’s most notable contribution over the last year has been in the area of Equal Pay in the Public Sector. He currently advises 15 Local authorities – believed to be more than any other comparable barrister – in claims with a potential value in the region of up to £50 million. Some 15,000 claims on behalf of local government workers have been processed by the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Newcastle</st1:city></st1:place> employment tribunal region and John has been involved in the lions’-share of these cases.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%"><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Arial; color: black" lang="EN-US">John is also heavily involved in the NHS Equal Pay cases and is acting in the lead test case under the NHS Agenda for Change, which may affect every NHS employee (apart from doctors). The NHS Equal pay cases are believed to be the largest Tribunal litigation ever (by numbers of Claimants and potential value of claims) and the largest piece of discrimination litigation (by number and value) in <st1:place w:st="on">Europe</st1:place>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%"><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Arial" lang="EN-US">To have several mass equal pay cases going on at the same time poses particular logistical problems for the tribunals both in accommodating all the claims (including equal value experts) and in dealing with a large number of appeals proceeding at different paces. Indeed, the outgoing chair of the EOC recently suggested that tribunals were not fit for purpose in this respect and that there should be some form of moratorium on new claims. <span style="color: black"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%"><strong><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Arial" lang="EN-US">Whistleblowing<o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%"><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Arial" lang="EN-US">John was involved in one of most significant Whistleblowing cases of 2007 - Kuzel v Roche Products - the first case on the burden of proof in Whistleblowing cases. Acting for the respondent, John argued that the burden of proof rested with the employee in Whistleblowing dismissal cases, whereas the employee argued that the burden of proof lay with the employer. The outcome of the case, which has now been referred to the Court of Appeal, will be highly significant in this specialist area of employment law. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%"><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Arial" lang="EN-US">Additionally, John has advised on and negotiated a number of settlements in this area including in mediations, the details of which are highly confidential.<span>          </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'">Having a vacation rental for a business can be very useful. It cannot only provide a place of incentive for workers but can also create a place where workers can bond and grow as a collective team. No matter where the vacation rental is located it can be turned into a place where employees and employers come together and get to know each other outside of the office in a way that allows them to work more productively in the office. Bermuda, <a href="http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/current/MWCR.html"><font color="#800080">The Grand Caymans</font></a> or even the Jersey shore can all be places that coworkers come together and create a bond that will make the company more efficient in the long run. As well as being a place for vacation, some place like <a href="http://www.coralstoneclub.com/"><font color="#800080">Cayman Island condo rentals</font></a> can also become a place where work is done outside of the office. Taking workers out of the daily grind and putting them in a place like <a href="http://www.coralstoneclub.com/"><font color="#800080">Grand Cayman condos</font></a> can make them work more efficiently on a regular basis and can make them more content with their overall work atmosphere. The happier employees are, the better their work will be.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When it comes to deciding upon a mobile phone you should consider every angle. Which handset do you think is for you.<br />
What we must consider when analysing these rather technologically superior mobile phones, is can they perform the basic things. Take the <a href="http://www.best-mobile-contracts.co.uk/phones/NokiaN96.aspx">nokia n96</a> as an example.  This phone has a massive 16 gigabytes of internal memory making it match the ipod. It is difficult to remember a time when gadgets were this advanced.  Do these kind of gadgets really take off? Usually they do because they are simple and effective Next up comes Nokia&#8217;s most important rival, Sony Ericsson.  The <a href="http://www.best-mobile-contracts.co.uk/phones/SonyEricssonW760i.aspx">Sony Ericsson w760i</a> is turning heads in the handset world.<br />
So is the Sony Ericsson W760i the one you should look at? We think so, it is a remarkable gadget. The <a href="http://www.best-mobile-contracts.co.uk/phones/nokiaN82.aspx">Nokia N82</a>  is another gadget suited to the business individual, We predict that this one will go down a storm.</p>
