what materials could reduce the amount of energy lost through the roof of a house?
|
There are lots of insulating materials made for this job. fibreglass batts are the most common but you could also use blown in insulation which is made from ground up newsprint. or styrofoam sheets or spray on expanding insulation which is the best because it gets in all the cracks but it is also the most expensive. On some flat roofs the insulation goes on the outside and the roofing material goes over it but in most houses with a pitched roof the insulation goes over the ceiling and this leaves an air space between the insulation and the roof. Its very important to have proper ventilation in this area to carry away any moisture that may get there.

Which world famous city in Eire stands on the River Lee?
|
Cork, Ireland - Eire's Second City | Travel Blog Cork, Ireland - Eire's Second City www.theredquest.com “Sweet bloody Jesus! And Christ almighty!” came the voice of man behind us. These were the first words Angela and I heard upon our arrival at Cork International Airport. What caused the man to utter these words we did not know, but it cheered us nonetheless. We had arrived in Ireland and it sounded good. Cork was founded in the sixth century by the wonderfully named Saint Finbarr. He founded a monastery, around which settlements soon grew. As time passed, the Vikings came and destroyed parts of the city, but it was soon rebuilt. However by the seventeenth century Cork finally hit the big time. It became the butter capital of the World, providing butter to ships plying the busy transatlantic routes. Then came famine followed by British interference, which drove the city into decline. But today, Cork is one of Ireland's Celtic Tigers and now stands as the second largest city in the country. “So where-yas-from?” asked the jovial taxi driver as we left the airport. In his sixties and wearing a blue sailor’s cap, he looked like an old sea dog. We told him we were from England. He visibly cheered at this news. “Ah, Beamish Stout England! I do love that place! Lived in Liverpool many years ago. And in Birmingham, so I did! Lovely place!” As we headed into the city, Angela and I surveyed our surroundings. We’d expected Cork to be a picture-postcard sort of town, a bit like Whitby, only in Ireland. But so far, it seemed to be stuck in some sort of weird time warp, alternating between run-down Victorian and drab sixties-style buildings. A closed-down cinema added to this effect, fly posters and graffiti adorning its once grand entrance. “Cobh is a nice place to go if you have the time,” said the taxi driver, perhaps sensing our mood. “It really is a lovely little harbour and it was the final port that the Titanic stopped at. It’s about half an hour by bus. And then there's Blarney of course. You’ve got to kiss the stone!” “What's the Murphy's like?” I asked. Irish stout was a favourite of mine. I’d tried Guinness in Dublin and now I wanted to try Murphy's in Cork, the place it was brewed. “Oh they all taste the same to me,” the man answered honestly. “But the wife likes a bit of Guiness signs stout now and again. She says the Guinness doesn't travel too well so she prefers the Murphy’s.” The next morning was overcast and drizzly. Our hotel, the Ambassador was located on a high hill to the north of the River Lee. “It says here,” I said, reading a placard I'd found on a wall. “This hotel used to be a protestant hospital for people with incurable diseases. Maybe there are still traces of disease in the beds.” After breakfast we headed into the city centre and began our sightseeing trek. It quickly led us to the main shopping areas of St Patrick's Street, Oliver Plunkett Street and the Grand Parade. Our first port of call was the English Market. Originating from the early seventeenth century the market was full of stalls peddling meat, fish, cheese, breads and lots more besides. We spent a good while browsing the items on offer before the smell of raw meat became too much for us. We headed back outside into the fresh air. The view to the north of the river wasn't particularly picturesque. It looked like any other industrial city going through a transformation to become more modern. Drab buildings, Oliver Plunkett Street grey listless housing and gaudy shop fronts greeted our gaze as we headed towards a bridge. We traversed the River Lee and headed uphill towards the Firkin Crane Centre. A firkin was an old measurement of mass, with one firkin being equivalent to about 25kg. The Firkin Crane Centre used to be part of Cork's Butter Exchange, a reminder of just how important Butter was in Cork. Nowadays, the centre has reinvented itself as a venue for contemporary dance, but just along from it was the renowned Butter Museum, a place that our guidebook described as being unmissable. “Can you believe they have a firkin butter museum?” I

During this deep freeze in the Midwest US, how do the deer, squirrels, and other local wildlife handle these drastically cold temperatures?
|
A lot of them won't be able to cope and will die. But they do basically the same as we do, nest down and try to stay warm. They will adjust their habits to move when it's warmest instead of safest, and they will often huddle together. You'll see larger herds of deer and elk, for instance, in the winter than spring. Even normally solitary animals, like bears, will den together in cases of extreme cold. They don't move as much so as retain fat, and their metabolic process will slow down quite drastically so they can survive on less. Some rodents, like rats and squirells, might nest under houses to take heat from there, as well, but mostly they just group together and try to make it through. A lot of will die, and then the population will pick up in late winter or early spring when they go into birth.

During the early Middle Ages, the Swedish state also expanded to control Norrland and Finland. Modern Sweden started out of the Kalmar Union formed in 1397 and by the unification of the country by King Gustav Vasa in the 16th century. Vasa fought for an independent Sweden and broke with the papacy, establishing the Lutheran Church in Sweden. In the 17th century Swede

The Tragedy of the Commons
|
Imagine there's a pasture full of grass that's not owned by a private individual. Farmers from around the area bring their cattle to this pasture to graze for free. The act of grazing slowly destroys the pasture. All farmers realize that if the pasture gets over-grazed that all of the grass will die and the pasture will be of no benefit to anyone. If one farmer takes his cattle away from the pasture to let the grass regrow, another farmer will just take his place and the pasture will get destroyed anyway. So what happens is that none of the farmers remove their cattle because the destruction of the pasture is seen as inevitable. One proposed solution to this problem is to allow private ownership of the land. The private owner can charge a small fee to each farmer who comes to the pasture. When the pasture needs to recover, the private owner will only let a few (or no) farmers in, because if the pasture is destroyed then the private owner won't be able to make money off of it anymore.

The Ministry for State Security of Communist East Germany was more commonly known by which abbreviated name?
|
Stasi | East German government | Britannica.com East German government Alternative Titles: MfS, Ministerium für Staatssicherheit, Staatsicherheit Related Topics Stasi, official name Ministerium für Staatsicherheit (German: “Ministry for State Security”), secret police agency of the German Democratic Republic (East Germany). The Stasi was one of the most hated and feared institutions of the East German communist government. Follow the actions of the Stasi secret police in the final months of East Germany’s existence. Contunico © ZDF Enterprises GmbH, Mainz The Stasi developed out of the internal security and police apparatus established in the Soviet zone of occupation in Germany after World War II . The law establishing the ministry, whose forerunner was the Kommissariat 5 (modeled along the lines of the Soviet KGB ), was passed by the East German legislature on February 8, 1950, four months after the establishment of the German Democratic Republic. The Stasi, whose formal role was not defined in the legislation, was responsible for both domestic political surveillance and foreign espionage , and it was overseen by the ruling Socialist Unity Party . Its staff was at first quite small, and its chief responsibilities were counterintelligence against Western agents and the suppression of the last vestiges of Nazism. Soon, however, the Stasi became known for kidnapping former East German officials who had fled the country; many of those who were forcibly returned were executed. Under Erich Mielke , its director from 1957 to 1989, the Stasi became a highly effective secret police organization. Within East Germany it sought to infiltrate every institution of society and every aspect of daily life, including even intimate personal and familial relationships. It accomplished this goal both through its official apparatus and through a vast network of informants and unofficial collaborators (inoffizielle Mitarbeiter), who spied on and denounced colleagues, friends, neighbours, and even family members. By 1989 the Stasi relied on 500,000 to 2,000,000 collaborators as well as 100,000 regular employees, and it maintained files on approximately 6,000,000 East German citizens—more than one-third of the population. Overview of East Germany’s Stasi (Ministry for State Security) under the leadership of Erich Mielke. Contunico © ZDF Enterprises GmbH, Mainz Similar Topics Gestapo In addition to domestic surveillance, the Stasi was also responsible for foreign surveillance and intelligence gathering through its Main Administration for Foreign Intelligence (Hauptverwaltung Aufklärung). Its foreign espionage activities were largely directed against the West German government and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization . Under Markus Wolf, its chief of foreign operations from 1958 to 1987, the Stasi extensively penetrated West Germany’s government and military and intelligence services, including the inner circle of West German Chancellor Willy Brandt (1969–74); indeed, the discovery in April 1974 that a top aid to Brandt, Günter Guillaume, was an East German spy led to Brandt’s resignation two weeks later. The Stasi also had links to various terrorist groups, most notably the Red Army Faction (RAF) in West Germany. During the 1970s and ’80s the Stasi worked closely with the RAF and cooperated with Abū Niḍāl , Ilich Ramírez Sánchez (commonly known as Carlos, “the Jackal”), and the Palestine Liberation Organization . The Stasi also allowed Libyan agents to use East Berlin as a base of operations for carrying out terrorist attacks in West Berlin . Following the bombing of a discotheque in West Berlin (April 1986) that killed two U.S. servicemen, the Stasi continued to allow Libyan agents to use East Berlin as both a base of operations and a safe haven. Soon after the opening of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the East German legislature passed a law to reconstitute the Ministry of State Security as the Office for National Security (Amt für Nationale Sicherheit). However, because of public outcry, the office was never established, and the Stasi was formal

(CNN) -- On a misty afternoon in 1851, Britain's Queen Victoria watched a wooden schooner -- named "America" -- win what would later become one of the most famous boat races in the world. She asked one of her attendants who had come second. The answer? "Your majesty, there is no second." His words set the tone for what we now know as the America's Cup -- a prestigious, fierce, and controversial race which has just one winner and no runners-up. Since its launch 162 years ago, the competition -- which kicked off in San Francisco last month -- has been at the forefront of yacht design, encouraging the best sailing clubs in the world to invest big in their seafaring weapons of choice. From Scotland's elegant Fife yachts, to Australia's controversial keel, and today's space-age 'flying' boats, CNN takes a look at the most revolutionary designs and memorable moments of the world's oldest trophy in international sport.

The Bright Eyes Kit DIY LED glasses teaches you basic programming, and makes you look cool too.
Daniel Hirschmann, founder of Technology Will Save Us talks with CNN about his educational kits and his philosophy.
Programming is as important today as literacy; the maker movement is a "paradigm shift" in thinking.
|
London (CNN) -- The "shutter shades" most recently popularized by fashion-conscious rapper Kanye West are in the midst of a transformation from flash-in-the-pan style accessory to a clever technological learning aid that its makers hope will encourage more people to learn the art of computer coding. The Bright Eyes Kit contains a pair of glasses made entirely of circuit board and dotted with 174 LED's tacked onto the front. "You can control each individual LED," explains Daniel Hirschmann, co-founder of Technology Will Save Us (TWSU), the London based start-up behind the idea. The small array can display scrolling text, videos of flickering flames or generate any moving image that the user desires. "Bright Eyes is our mission to convince people to learn how to program," says Hirschmann, who expects that as more everyday items develop the capacity to send and receive data -- a trend sometimes referred to as the "Internet of Things" -- the more important it will be that we know how to operate and adapt them. TWSU are following in the footsteps of Rasberry Pi, the $25 computer designed to encourage children to learn to code. But the flashing lights of The Bright Eyes Kit is an added incentive: learn code, and look cool in the process. "Without the incentive we don't have a convincing argument, so we thought let's create (one)," says Hirschmann. Importantly, users can choose how far they want to delve into the code, ranging from an introdcutory level drag-and-drop interface to full, line-by-line coding. As technology creeps inexorably into every crevice of our lives, a rudimentary understanding of computer code is seen by some as an essential life skill. For Zach Simms, co-founder of Code Academy, an interactive online resource that teaches programming, it has become as important as learning to read. "Coding is 21st century literacy," says Simms. "With an economy in flux and a world in which everything is increasingly becoming revolutionized by technology, programming is becoming a core part of job competency. Even knowing basic programming and algorithms helps you throughout everyday life." Unlike most products on the high street, Bright Eyes is built to be modified. As it is made entirely out of circuit board, users can solder components directly to it -- such as a light dependent resistor or a microphone to make it respond to sound. "One of the first things people asked was if it could react to music. So we added a microphone as an added incentive," says Hirschmann. TWSU describe themselves as a "haberdashery for technology and education dedicated to helping people produce and not just consume technology." Bright Eyes is their latest piece of kit seeking to fill the gap between the technology we own and what we know about how it works. "We all realize at some point that we want to make the things in life that we care about," says Hirschmann. "We don't actually want microwavable TV dinners -- we care about food. Food is just one example of that maker revolution." Hirschmann thinks the growth of interactive new media has encouraged a move away from 20th century-style consumerism. "YouTube was a big precipitating factor in that," he says. "All of a sudden people were not just consuming media, but creating it." This so-called "maker movement" has been credited with heralding a new industrial revolution, with community-run DIY workshops, often known as hackspaces, gaining increasing popularity. "We do see ourselves as part of the maker revolution," says Hirschmann. "I think hackspaces are phenomenal, but they're servicing a very small community. If you're someone from the outside looking in, it can be a very frightening space. We're not at all like that." Hirschmann reckons his kit is more approachable, targeted at an entry level tinkerer: "It's really about opening the doorway to the world of technology and understanding what it is. It's about giving people just enough, and making it easy enough, to tantalize them to jump in, and hopefully start swimming." TWSU spoke at a "makers" event in London last week alongside the creators of Sugru, local heroes of the maker revolution. Daniel Hirschmann thinks the movement is gaining momentum: "We are part of this wave that is building. The maker revolution is like a paradigm shift in your own head."

How many words did Chaser know?

Dog intelligence is the ability of the dog to perceive information and retain it as knowledge for applying to solve problems. Dogs have been shown to learn by inference. A study with Rico showed that he knew the labels of over 200 different items. He inferred the names of novel items by exclusion learning and correctly retrieved those novel items immediately and also 4 weeks after the initial exposure. Dogs have advanced memory skills. A study documented the learning and memory capabilities of a border collie, "Chaser", who had learned the names and could associate by verbal command over 1,000 words. Dogs are able to read and react appropriately to human body language such as gesturing and pointing, and to understand human voice commands. Dogs demonstrate a theory of mind by engaging in deception. A study showed compelling evidence that Australian dingos can outperform domestic dogs in non-social problem-solving experiment, indicating that domestic dogs may have lost much of their original problem-solving abilities once they joined humans. Another study indicated that after undergoing training to solve a simple manipulation task, dogs that are faced with an insoluble version of the same problem look at the human, while socialized wolves do not. Modern domestic dogs use humans to solve their problems for them.

The city of Irwindale filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court Monday .

The maker of Sriracha hot sauce is under fire for allegedly fouling the air around its Southern California factory. The city of Irwindale filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court Monday asking a judge to stop production at the Huy Fong Foods factory, claiming the chili odor emanating from the plant is a public nuisance. City officials say residents have been complaining of burning eyes, irritated throats and headaches and that some people have had to leave their house to escape the smell. Complaint: The city of Irwindale filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court Monday asking a judge to stop production at the Huy Fong Foods factory, claiming the chili odor emanating from the plant is a public nuisance . One family was forced to move a birthday party indoors after the strong smell overwhelmed the festivity, Irwindale City Attorney Fred Galante told the Los Angeles Times. The maker of Sriracha hot sauce is under fire for allegedly fouling the air around its Southern California factory . Huy Fong initially cooperated with the city, but talks broke down last week after company representatives denied there was an odor problem, saying their employees worked in similar olfactory settings without complaint, Mr Galante said. The city, which is about 20 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, is seeking temporary closure of the factory until Huy Fong submits a plan to minimize the smell. 'If they fix it and the odor problems stop, we don't need this order; but so far the odor complaints continue,' Mr Galante said. An after-hours call to the company was not immediately returned. Huy Fong's green-capped chili bottles are hugely popular and are a fixture at restaurants around the world. The first Sriracha Festival held in downtown Los Angeles over the weekend drew hundreds of fans. The condiment's creator, David Tran, was there sporting a T-shirt that said 'I put Sriracha on my Sriracha.' The company had operated out of two buildings in nearby Rosemead since the late 1980s until it opened large factory in Irwindale this year. All of the chili needed for producing the year's sauce is processed and stored between September and December.

But the most direct literary influence is "obviously Carlyle" who, in a lecture given in 1840, the year of his meeting with Dickens, on "On Heroes, Hero-Worship", and "the Heroic in History", claims that the most important modern character is "the hero as a man of letters".

Is taurine really bad for you?

According to Whole HealthMD, relatively little is known about the additive with the exception that it has some healthy side effects. \n\n"It appears to shield the heart from harm. It's best known for empowering bile acids to clear cholesterol from the body. It may also fight cellular troublemakers that can damage the heart. Studies in animals suggest that taurine lowers blood pressure as well."\n\nIt sounds like it is beneficial. However, like a lot of supplements, it's hard to judge something that hasn't been fully analyzed.

By . Associated Press . You've heard of flash mobs? Behold the Mass mob. Playing off the idea of using social media to summon crowds for . parties or mischief, mobs of Buffalo-area Roman Catholics have been . filling pews and lifting spirits at some of the city's original, now . often sparsely attended, churches. It works this way: On a given Sunday, participants attend Mass en . masse at a church they've picked in an online vote and promoted through . Facebook and Twitter. Visitors experience the architecture, heritage and . spirit of the aging houses of worship and the churches once again see . the numbers they were built for, along with a helpful bump in donations . when the collection baskets are passed. People gathered for mass inside Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church in Buffalo as part of 'Mass Mob' 'I call these churches faith enhancers. You can't help but walk in . and feel closer to a higher power,' said Christopher Byrd, who hatched . the idea in Buffalo last fall and has organized two Mass mobs so far, . both of which drew hundreds. He's heard from other cities about starting . their own. The aim, he said, is to reignite interest, support and perhaps even . membership in older churches that 'kind of fall off the radar screen of . people.' One such church is Our Lady of Perpetual Help in a neighborhood . settled by Irish immigrants along the Buffalo River. The church once . brimmed with 800 families when it was dedicated in 1900. Today, fewer . than 50 worshippers typically amble into the Gothic-style sanctuary for . Sunday Mass. It's a familiar story among city churches that were built for waves . of Polish, German, Irish and Italian immigrants but whose congregations . have dwindled with the city's population decline and suburban sprawl. Buffalo's population is less than half what it was in 1950, when it . peaked at 580,000. 'We're still here,' said the Rev. Donald Lutz, who welcomed a crowd . of more than 300 on a recent Sunday after Our Lady of Perpetual Help, . known to locals as 'Pets,' was selected for the Mass mob. Head Mobster: Christopher Byrd organizes the Mass Mobs in Buffalo . Organizers sought nominations from the public for churches on the . Mass mob website and put the top three up for a vote. Online voting . begins this week for the next mob, planned for March 23. 'It's wonderful,' said Lutz, who learned his church had been chosen . two weeks before.'It just shows that we are not just one parish, that . it's the whole family of the diocese. We take care of each other. 'and,' he added, 'if it helps us pay a few more bills ...' With every pew occupied, later-arriving worshippers stood against the . back wall, reminding 88-year-old parishioner Elizabeth Barrett of the . way it used to be in the church she has attended since birth, a block . from her lifelong home. 'You had to get here very early when I was young, it was so crowded,' she said. 'And now there are just a handful. It's hard to accept, but . you have to.' During the sign of peace, Lutz spent several minutes breezing up and . down aisles, smiling and shaking hands. He invited all to a nearby . community center for a pastry and coffee after the service. Several visitors arrived at the church with cameras, aiming them at . brilliant stained-glass windows imported from Austria, the church's . pride and joy, and the ornate marble altar, the likes of which are . seldom seen in the more modern suburban churches built today. Our lady of perpetual help in Buffalo where the last mass mob met up to pray . "It's wonderful to see the old churches. They're beautiful," said . Barbara Mocarski, who came from nearby Lackawanna to be part of the mob. While the sanctuary is largely well-preserved, areas of cracking . plaster and water stains show a need for costly maintenance. "Seeing the community together and caring about them, I was really happy to hear about it," Mocarski said. Karen Huber of the suburb of West Seneca hoped the Mass mob idea . would bring more young people back to church so that crowds would again . be the rule, not the exception. The eight-county Diocese of Buffalo, in a restructuring, has closed . nearly 100 churches in recent years as attendance and financial support . has declined and priests have retired. Days after the Mass mob came an . announcement that 10 suburban Catholic schools would close after this . school year. Byrd, 46, plans about six Buffalo Mass mobs a year. Chris Clemens and . Luke Myer made the 90-minute trip from Rochester and are already . promoting the idea in their city, where they blog about upstate New . York's religious and spiritual history and sites. Byrd, an activist in the Broadway-Fillmore neighborhood where he grew . up, said there has been interest from other cities, too, and he hopes . the flash mob social media hook will resonate with a younger generation . for whom the pull of family tradition has relaxed. Said Byrd, 'They may think it's cool'

By . Anna Edwards . PUBLISHED: . 05:53 EST, 10 July 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 06:03 EST, 10 July 2013 . Cheng Tan is suing the law firm McDermott Will & Emery for unfair dismissal, sex discrimination and maternity discrimination . A high-flying lawyer claims she was 'ambushed', forced out of her £100,000 a year job and ordered to pay back her maternity pay after she took more than six months leave because of medical problems, a tribunal heard. Cheng Tan, 40, who had a complicated caesarean section, was head-hunted to join the London office of the prestigious American law firm McDermott Will & Emery as a trademark specialist. But the mother-of-two claims she was made the sole victim of redundancy from the firm after she told her bosses she needed more than six months' maternity leave to recover after a series of operations. And she alleges that at one point bosses even demanded that she pay back £18,000 maternity pay. In a witness statement to the Central London Employment Tribunal she said: 'I was made redundant because I had had a baby, taken maternity leave and suffered illness as a result of the birth.' Ms Tan gave birth on 5 May 2011 to a baby girl through emergency caesarean section, but there were complications and both Ms Tan and her newborn needed continued hospital treatment. The Malaysian-born lawyer underwent two gruelling operations to repair organs that had been damaged during the childbirth. Initially, she hoped to return after six months because she would be eligible for a bonus. But she claims after she told bosses she was suffering complications from the surgery they selected her for redundancy. She was called to a meeting on 3 November 2011 and told she faced redundancy. In her witness statement Ms Tan said: 'I felt ambushed. 'I had no one accompanying me, was still not fully well following the complications that had followed the birth of my second child, and at the meeting that I had asked for to discuss my return to work I was suddenly being faced with what appeared to be a pre-prepared meeting to tell me that I was redundant.' And the Leicester and King’s College London graduate said that she had been made to feel sidelined by the firm before she had even taken her maternity leave. The firm moved to the Heron Tower where offices were handed out depending on status, but the heavily pregnant lawyer was given a windowless room because she was about to have her baby. She claims her boss made the decision because she was only going to have to ‘sit in there’ for 4-6 weeks before having her baby. She claims after she told bosses she was suffering complications from the surgery they selected her for redundancy (posed by models) Ms Tan told the tribunal: 'I strongly believed I was being treated unfairly and unfavourably regarding this issue because of my imminent maternity leave.' While on leave she discussed her . return with her boss Gary Moss and other senior staff, but received no . indication that there were any problems until she told them about her . surgical complications. She . said: 'Gary said it was important that I should concentrate on getting . well and, as and when, I was ready I would be welcomed back to the . department and I was a valued member of the team.' But Mr Moss left the company while she was away. 'I felt tricked, cheated and betrayed'- Cheng Tan during her employment tribunal . During the redundancy meeting Ms Tan wondered aloud why she was being got rid of and mentioned it felt like 'anyone who is not white will be fired' by her boss Hiroshi Sheraton. She insisted it was not a formal allegation of race discrimination but the firm used it to keep her out of the office until they had finished an investigation, it is claimed. Ms Tan said she was thrown into a 'nightmare' and that her boss even tried to get her to hand back £18,000 worth of maternity pay she had received, it is alleged. She said: 'I could not believe that this was being asked of me. I was shocked and frightened by the prospect as I had not budgeted for it.' She added: 'Needless to say, I felt tricked, cheated and betrayed. I could not shake off the notion that Hiroshi did this deliberately to victimise me since I challenged his decision on redundancy and had not ‘gone quietly’.' The firm also told her that she would only get her full redundancy pay - the equivalent of seven weeks wages - if she agreed not to bring any claim against them, it is alleged. She was formally dismissed on redundancy grounds on 29 November last year. She is suing the firm for unfair dismissal, pregnancy, maternity and sex discrimination, indirect age discrimination and victimisation. McDermott Will & Emery strongly deny the allegations and in a statement to the tribunal they claim she was made redundant because there wasn’t enough work. They claim they had provisionally earmarked Ms Tan’s job for redundancy but 'the decision was made not to raise her provisional redundancy with her while she was suffering the significant ill effects of the birth.' They deny 'that there was any link between the claimant’s provisional selection and her maternity leave or related illness.' Instead they say she was axed because her charge-out rate was higher and she didn’t have the breadth of experience of others at the firm. The tribunal continues.
