Zhongli x Childe
Café au fluff one-shot (1970 words)
♥------------------------------------------------♥
Tumblr media Tumblr media
♥------------------------------------------------♥
" Hey there Zhongli !! how are you doing today ? i hope im not too early for class" greeted Ganyu
"Im doing doing just fine and no you are right on time" Zhongli replied with a kind smile.
Ganyu, a busy med college student, very sleepy but extremely hardworking.
"Come driving rain or winds that churn, I shall return, by blade alone, armed, if barefoot, to my home.. good evening Mr. Zhongli" Kazuha said with a polite smile as he took his seat on the counter of the empty cafe.
"Good evening Kazuha , you are as poetic as always"
Kazuha, a middle school student with a way with words.
"Arataki "Numero Uno" Itto, here in the flesh! Hahaha... *cough*"
"Good evening itto .. er are you alright ?" Zhongli asked with a concerned smile
"Yeah im chill gramps"
"well thats good to hear" Itto took his seat besides Kazuha and started chatting away about beetles because "They're so cool little dude you have no idea"
Arataki Itto , an animal enthusiast and Earth science major, hes very excited most of the time.
"Good evening Zhongli !! Ei is finally free from mid terms so she's able to join us today!" Miko, freshly graduated, works in a publishing house.
"Hello." Ei or Raiden , she's in her last year of college doing business studies.
"Greetings Miko , Ei , im glad you could join us today !
We'll be making Bento cakes. They are the size of a bento(lunch box) but the rest is exactly the same as a normal cake."
All the "students" were standing at their own stations, which were just the cafe tables put together. They had a small notebook and pen in their hands ready to write down what notes Mr. Zhongli aka their teacher gave. A few actually wrote notes while some doodled "Beetle shaped icing supremacy"
Zhongli is a college graduate from Liyue College of Teyvat. He graduated in Business studies and culinary arts . Wanting to become a chef from an early age he had a clear dream in mind and was currently living it by owning a small yet popular cafe called Cafe Rax (named after his pet cat morax). He owned a few other places aswell but spent most his time here. He often gave lectures at LCT , being an alumni there.
baking lessons after the cafe closed was an impulsive decision but a good one since he found many friends. All the people came for different reasons.
Ganyu : "I feel like im too involved in work and i wanted a new hobby!"
Kazuha : he works at the cafe as a part timer "so why not, i wish to see where this path leads me"
Itto : "im gonna bake delicious stuff for granny, she's done so much for me !"
Miko : "itll be good seeing you everyday my friend , plus me and Ei can bake together"
Raiden : "for Miko"
The strength on the so called baking class was small but they were a happy lot.
"Firstly i want you all to tie your aprons and wash your hands"
Everyone in class had an apron of their choice , all of them had specific designs sewed onto them , Zhongli's had a small whale , Ittos had a little brown dog , Kazuha's had a purple and white electro sign , Ei's had a pink fox and Miko's had dango.
"Okay people now take out the following ingredients
2 eggs
1 egg yolk
Dark muscovado sugar 60g
Maple syrup 15g (1.5 tbsp)
1/2 tsp salt
All-purpose flour 50g
Dark cocoa powder 10g (1.5 tbsp)
("Thats sugar itto not salt"
"Pffftttt ofc i knew that haha-")
__________________________________________________________________________
He ran with a smile on his face and cheeky but slightly vacant eyes as water splashed around his feet and all of his clothing became drenched. If he didn't quickly find shelter, all of his books would be a tangled mess of soggy pages. In the distance, he could make out Cafe Rax. He debated whether or not to enter the coffee shop because there was a particular person there who gave him feelings he had never experienced before. He was motivated to genuinely live, to get up, and to improve by the person inside. If only the person was aware of him, things might progress if they did.
. . . . . . Okay maybe that was a little dramatic, they were best of friends but Mr. Ginger went ahead and fell in love .
Tartaglia had known Zhongli for at least four years, first as a senior in college, then as an alumnus delivering speeches, and last as a friend and his own personal barista who provided him biased discounts that no one had the courage to point out.
The bell jingled loudly, signalling the entry of a person into the cafe. Tartaglia came here every day at the same hour, so no one needed to turn their heads to see who it was. Zhongli looked up from where he was removing his mittens to see his best friend, whom he secretly adored staring at. Wet, vivid orange hair clung to his forehead, blue eyes flashing brightly, and a broad smile with all teeth and heated cheeks. Seeing his best friend in this state made Zhongli's heart race. He grabbed a towel and ran over to the ginger, grumbling about how he'll get sick if he continues forgetting his umbrella . "You should be more careful Childe , how many times have i advised you to carry a raincoat or an umbrella-"
He stopped abruptly when a hand came up to his face and a dainty finger grazed his cheek. His cheeks flushed at the contact, he barely managed to keep his composure .
"You had flour on your cheek" said Childe
Childe brushed his thumb again on the brunettes cheek , his touch was feather light .
It was flawless. Zhongli had a whale apron on, while Childe had a towel over his head and messy hair, all raw and domestic. Zhongli's eyes followed the tiny water droplets trickling down the ginger's face as they exchanged glances.
Zhongli extended his hand to touch Childes. He then closed his eyes and relaxed, savouring the sensation of his best friend's palm brushing across his cheek. Childe admired and loved him with all of his heart, hoping Zhongli could see how his eyes shone at the thought of the other man. The rest of the room was silent until Itto's cough shattered the tension
(his face was red from holding in the cough "dude." "sorry little guy i tried my best" "drink some water")
When the trance was broken, Zhongli returned to work with a flushed face, and Childe started doing his assignments as usual on Zhongli's desk. Both of them were focused elsewhere.
How could they focus on work when that just happened. Childe was getting tired of this 'routine'. He really wished for Zhongli to see him in a different light. Not as a friend but something more. He wanted to mean to Zhongli what Zhongli meant to him. He wanted to watch the sunset with him , hold hands , kiss him and be his forever and ever .
He distracted himself with algebra and soon enough his thoughts were lost in numbers and variables . He was so laser focused on his work that he didn't hear several ovens and the rustling of people walking out the door with the jingle of the bell.
("Cya little dude , now imma let granny taste this !!" "farewell for now my friend , i wonder how scara will like this" "Lets have a movie date ei" "of course")
Zhongli cleaned up the counter thoroughly. He collected all the bowls and other utensils used and kept them under the sink , then putting away all the extra ingredient back to their places.
He took out the freshly baked bento cake and started icing it. He had a variety of colours from which he chose blue , orange and little bit of red. He somehow managed to draw a chibi childe. He was happy with his creation. But he was also nervous because today was the day he was going to do it . Risk it all . Confess.
Zhongli had thought of the most extravagant ways to confess to childe but then he settled for the most familiar and meaningful way to do it. By baking. the cake had both his love for baking and for his dearest childe. He gazed at the ginger sitting at a desk , scratching his pencil on paper , eyes narrowed in concentration as her did his work. He couldnt be more proud , remembering the struggle the other had went through to reach this level of calm. The leg shaking had lessned and the focus had increased , his eyes were just a smidge brighter . Knowing he played a small role in the happening of that was just elating .
He grabbed the bento and softly kept it on the gingers desk which made him look up. He noticed?the cafe to be empty and all cleaned up.
"Sorry for intruding !! i should get going Zhongli"
"Its alright , i have to talk to you. Have this first , its- uh i made it for you"
(aww man he even looks professional while stuttering thought childe dreamily)
"For me?? im flattered , truly. If i may , what is the reason for such a mmmm delicious present?"(from a delicious man like yourself )
Zhongli took a deep breath as he took Childes hands in his, he could feel the roughness of his fingers , the warmth of them. He was feeling a different sense of calm. He was relaxed as he looked into his best friends eyes and dared to say the words harboured in his heart.
"Tartaglia, my darling I'm grateful for every minute you've spent with me. I'm always afraid that I won't be able to repay you. I adore you more with each passing year that we remain friends. I've never felt such intense feelings for someone before you. You came into my life and lighted it up. Your ocean blue eyes and beautiful hair never cease to amaze and entice me. I love you. With my entire heart. I would like to court you if you allow me to , beautiful. "
Zhongli looked up from where he had his eyes fixed on their conjoined hands. Blue eyes shone with unshed tears. He panicked for a second before relaxing at the sight of a smile making its way up to Childes face. There was a lot of crying as the younger shoved his face into Zhonglis chest and held onto him like he would never let go. Childe was just so happy to have his feelings returned.
After crying and blabbing out response to the confession, Zhongli looked at Childe and he looked ethereal even with red rimmed eyes and a puffy red nose . He cupped his face softly as he stroked his cheek with the pad of his thumb. They looked into each others eyes "Yes. You can court me Zhongli" said childe with a smile. They dont know who closed the distance but with the feeling of soft lips on each other , their minds went blank. They shared a single innocent kiss , till it became 2 then 3 and then countless. The love was visible in their every movement . The way Zhongli held the youngers face , the was Childe wrapped his arms around zhongli and into his hair and finally the way their lips moved against each others , something fresh and new that could never get old ....
Miko walked back to her house with a smile on her face as the sun shone down on her giving her an ethereal glow..."guess i'll get my notebook tomorrow , at least they got their shit together"she laughed and went her way...
END

Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT): A Market Perspective on Health, Nutrition, and Industry Trends
Tumblr media
The Unique Properties of Medium Chain Triglycerides A Brief Introduction to Fats and Oils Fats and oils are an essential part of our diet, providing energy and helping with the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. However, not all dietary fats are created equal. Fats can be classified based on the length of their fatty acid chains. Short-chain fatty acids contain fewer than 6 carbon atoms, medium-chain fatty acids contain 6-12 carbon atoms, and long-chain fatty acids contain more than 12 carbon atoms. The fatty acid composition of fats determines various properties like melting point, absorption, and metabolism. Most common vegetable oils like soybean, corn and sunflower oils contain predominantly long-chain fatty acids, which are efficiently stored as body fat if consumed in excess of energy needs. On the other hand, coconut and palm kernel oils contain a high proportion of medium-chain triglycerides or MCTs. Unique Digestion and Absorption of MCTs Unlike long-chain triglycerides (LCTs), medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are absorbed directly into the portal vein from the intestinal tract and transported to the liver for rapid metabolism and use as energy. When MCTs enter the liver, they are not incorporated into lipoproteins like very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and transported via the lymphatic system throughout the body but are instead used immediately for energy production or ketone body synthesis. This unique absorption and metabolism pathway allows MCTs to bypass the usual fat storage pathways in the body. Studies have found that MCT consumption increases 24-hour energy expenditure by 5% when compared to LCTs. The thermogenic effect of MCTs also promotes weight loss and fat reduction. Potential Health Benefits of MCTs Heart Health - MCTs are more efficiently oxidized than LCTs, producing less incorporation into body fat tissues. Studies show MCT consumption reduces cardiovascular risk factors like total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Brain Health - MCTs are readily used by the brain as an energy source producing ketone bodies in the liver. Ketone bodies provide an alternative energy source to glucose for the brain. This may benefit various neurological disorders and help increase cognitive abilities in healthy individuals. Gastrointestinal Health - MCTs serve as prebiotics that nourish beneficial gut bacteria. This can help with digestion and constipation issues. Preliminary studies indicate MCTs may help gut inflammation and IBS symptoms. Skin and Hair Health - When used topically, MCTs penetrate skin efficiently due to their small molecular size, hydrating skin and hair from within. They are a common ingredient in organic skin and hair care products. Immunity - MCTs support immune cell function and may enhance immunity against pathogens. Weight Management - By increasing fat burning and energy expenditure, MCTs assist with weight control and managing obesity. Subjects given MCTs for 4 months lost an average of 12 pounds more than controls. Sources of MCTs Coconut oil contains approximately 60-70% MCTs in the form of lauric acid and capric acid, making it the best dietary source. Other sources containing varying amounts of MCTs include palm kernel oil, milk fat and butterfat from grass-fed cows. Commercially available MCT supplements are extracted from coconut or palm kernel oils. Some MCT-rich foods include canned coconut milk and cream, lactation cookies, MCT oil, coconut manna and coconut flakes. Nutritional guidelines recommend no more than 2-3 tablespoons or 30 ml of coconut or MCT oil per day for healthy adults. Consuming excess amounts at once can cause diarrhea or stomach upsets.

Check-in 3: Passing through the roadblock
So it's been about 2 weeks since I've made an update. My Chinese learning has been intermittent for these past 2 weeks, as I focused on other things in my life and gave myself a break.
Three things have emerged from this break:
An understanding that I did burn out mildly, and that my intensity of study was unsustainable. I was studying for up to 2-3 hours a day towards the end, and next time if I really get into a groove, I'll force myself to study less time if I think I'm heading in the direction of burnout again.
An understanding that I needed more variety in difficulty. The CME books are still mostly for vocabulary acquisition and sentence reading practice. With this in mind, that the main benefit will be from reviewing the new words, I think more focus needs to be given to learning for shorter amounts of time, but frequently. I'll maintain the idea that I shouldn't do more than 1/2 a chapter of the TB, and that I'm allowed to skip 1/2 to 2/3rd of the exercises in the WB for the sake of my sanity. I haven't ended up using the Intermediate Written Chinese TB or WB. I'll write a bit more about this week's goals a bit later in this post.
I need to rethink my goals this month, because I have a full time job now and it starts on Wednesday (9 - 5:30). Maybe I can set a simpler, less ambitious goal for June, or retain the weekly goals rather than putting too much pressure and falling behind on monthly goals.
Here's a list of resources I have used in the past 2 weeks:
CME 2 TB
CME 2 WB
Clozemaster
Pleco
Learning Chinese Through Stories (LCTS)
Here's the resources I also want to incorporate, although not necessarily simultaneously (maybe I can do one day of one kind of exercise and swap it out for the other the next time):
IWC TB
IWC WB
HSK Reading
Chinese Grammar Wiki
And here's what I want to do this week:
Finish Unit 11 of IWC (the first unit). There are 4 parts within the unit
Use Clozemaster every day
Listen to a LCTS story + walkthrough
It would be nice to do Chapter 4 of CME 2 as well, but I'm going to leave it for now because that might be too much.
This month, I need to email the Chinese language school to enrol next month.

"A Two-For-Two Trade" Eighty Years Ago Today: (Saturday) January 17th, 1943: Business is a bit slow, but the U-Boats still manage to put some points on the board. 200 miles southeast of Iceland, the "SS Vestfold" (Photo 1), a 14,000-ton Panamanian whaler, is running in Convoy HX-222. Pressed into wartime service, she's hauling 130,000 barrels of oil and three landing craft (LCTs). U-268, a Type VIIC, catches the convoy and picks her off. Abandoned in a panic, her engines are left running... which cause her to go in circles, going as far as colliding with the Convoy Rescue Ship, "SS Rathlin" (Photo 2), before sinking. 19 men are killed; 56 others are rescued. Meanwhile, the Belgian "SS Ostende" (Photo 3), loaded with munitions, is part of Convoy SC-115, and nearing the Scottish coast - and safety - when she hits a mine off the Isle of Mull. On fire and taking water, the Captain drives her ashore to save the ship. Two men are killed, but the ship is saved.. for now. She catches fire again on the 21st, and her cargo detonate, destroying the ship. Meanwhile, in the Mediterranean, the Royal Navy strikes back - pair of U-Class British subs evens the score against the Italians. 25 miles southwest of Marittimo, the destroyer "Bombardiere" (Soldati-Class, Photo 4) is picked off and sunk by HMS United (Photo 5) Casualties unknown. About 15 miles northeast of Djerba, Tunisia, the cargo ship "SS Zenobia Martini" (No Photo) is sunk by HMS Unseen (Photo 6). Casualties Unknown. Just Another Day... 🇺🇲🇺🇲 ** Please Like & Follow "Sandy Hook History" on Facebook & Instagram for more amazing maritime and military histories of the Garden State and New York Harbor as well as a review of the 80th Anniversary of the Battle Of The Atlantic and World War 2** 🇺🇲🇺🇲 https://www.instagram.com/p/CniVt5xt-Ua/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

LT E/3 tram No. 204 on Victoria Emb. Apr 1950 by Frederick McLean Via Flickr: An old amateur photograph (just 2" x 2") from an enthusiasts old tram/bus photo and postcard album, the latest pictures dating to c1950. This one was taken by 'JRM - Rex' and is of London Transport (LT) E/3 class tram No. 204 showing a '31' destination blind. Taken with the car about to leave Victoria Embankment, Westminster Bridge is to the photographers right and the Houses of Parliament behind them. I assume that the photo album belonged to a young person because at the front is a list of initials indicating the photographers. CC - C. Carter, HOD - Haynes of Dulwich (W. J. Haynes), JRM - Rex, WRGA - Robin Anderson of South Birmingham, MM - Mummy, JKM - Daddy, CJDM - Me, LOS - Lens of Sutton. Modern day google street view:- www.google.com/maps/@51.5008243,-0.1238459,3a,75y,353.41h... The description written next to the photo is "London Transport car No 204 (E3) about to turn from the Victoria Embankment onto Westminster Bridge. On its way to Wandsworth (route 31). April 1950 (JRM)". No. 204 was an ex Leyton Corporation Tramways (LCT) car built in 1931 by English Electric seating 28/46 and running on EMB maximum traction bogies. Up until 1933 it was operated on behalf of LCT by London County Council Tramways (LCC) and ran in LCC livery but with an LCT monogram on the car waist panels, post 1933 it ran in the standard red and cream LT livery. In Jun 1952 it was withdrawn from service and was disposed of (broken up or sold) at the LT Penhall Road Works. The parts of the London tramways system that had not already been withdrawn or transferred to trolleybus/bus operation closed in Jul 1952. If there are any errors in the above description please let me know. Thanks. 📷 Any photograph I post on Flickr is an original in my possession, nothing is ever copied/downloaded from another location. 📷 -------------------------------------------------

Pregúntame cualquier cosa: 10 respuestas a tus preguntas sobre estudio juridico solucion legal
Tumblr media
¿Qué Debe Saber Para Calcular Adecuadamente Su Liquidación?
La IPD se computa usando el valor del jornal base de cálculo para la indemnización por despido. Dicho jornal se integra con el promedio que se obtiene dividiendo el total ganado en el último año de trabajo, por los días ciertamente trabajados en dicho año. Los trabajadores tienen derecho a obtener un despido si el empleador decide acabar la relación laboral. Este monto debe pagarse en los 10 días hábiles luego de comunicada la resolución. La prima de antigüedad, que consiste en el pago de doce días de sueldo por de año en año de servicio prestado, tomando como base para el pago de esta prestación el doble del sueldo mínimo, en caso que el trabajador perciba un salario superior a este.
Existen empresas que debido a la modalidad de su actividad emplean personal por temporada. La ley 20.744 regula el modo de conceder las vacaciones a estos trabajadores estableciendo que disfrutarán del descanso anual al terminar cada ciclo, a razón de un día por cada veinte trabajados, si no hubieran conseguido trabajar la mitad de los días laborables del año. Los trabajadores contratados por tiempo determinado no están en su derecho a los 20 días de indemnización por año laborado, sino la fracción I del artículo 50 de la LFT les da un tratamiento especial, conforme la vigencia de su contrato. Para acceder a esta indemnización, deberías intimar al empleador a través de telegrama para que te haga entrega de los certificados del artículo 80 LCT en el plazo máximo de dos días. Si ello no sucede, la ley establece que el trabajador está en su derecho a una indemnización de 3 sueldos.
Si la empresa no lo readmite dentro de los 15 días siguientes a su presentación, tendrá derecho a una indemnización por despido equivalente abogados solucion legal al triple de lo establecido por las leyes laborales actuales. En caso que el trabajador fuera mandado al Seguro de Desempleo por el término de 6 meses, si al acabar este periodo no lo restituyen al trabajo, se cree que se ha producido el despido ficto, y podrá demandar la indemnización que le correspondiere (art. nueve, Decreto Ley N.° quince.180, de veinte de agosto de 1981). Conforme el Tribunal Constitucional (TC), el trabajador que demanda a la empresa para solicitar la reposición en su puesto de trabajo, por estimar que su despido fue injusto, no podrá, al tiempo, pedir que se le pague la indemnización o liquidación. De hacer esto último estaría aceptando el término de la relación laboral. b) Por el empleador, de un mes cuando el trabajador tuviera una antigüedad en el uso que no sobrepase de 5 años y de un par de meses cuando fuere superior".
No obstante, existen casos en los que los empleados no reciben esta bonificación. Aquí le contamos qué puede hacer y a qué tiene derecho cuando se registra esta situación.
Se calcula solo cuando la relación laboral se extingue por despido (directo o bien indirecto), y el empleador suprimió el preaviso al trabajador (es decir, lo despidió sin darle 1 mes o bien 2 -según el caso-, de preaviso a fin de que vaya buscando otro trabajo). La indemnización, será igual a UN mes de sueldo bárbaro por de año en año de servicio o fracción mayor de TRES meses, tomando como base la mejor remuneración mensual, normal y frecuente devengada a lo largo del último año o a lo largo del tiempo de prestación de servicios si este fuera menor. Para calcular la indemnización en la Argentina, hay que incluir la antigüedad y la inclusión o no del SAC sobre antigüedad en la tabla.
Tómese el caso de alguien cuyo contrato fue terminado por el empleador en el trascurso del segundo año en el lugar. Los ocho días de vacaciones que corresponden al trabajador se multiplica por el salario diario, para después multiplicar el resultado por el veinticinco por cien de la prima vacacional y luego dividir la cantidad obtenida entre 356 días del año. A la hora de calcular la indemnización por despido y por renuncia en Argentina como vieron existen varias consideraciones a tomar en cuenta para no perder el pago que por derecho les pertenece a cada trabajador. NO. La indemnización por despido sin causa aquí comentada, se halla exenta del pago de impuesto a las ganancias según lo previsto por la propia legislación fiscal Argentina (Art. 20, inc. i, Ley veinte.628), por lo que no corresponde inferir suma alguna sobre este rubro, debiéndose abonar exactamente el mismo en forma íntegra al trabajador.
El monto de la indemnización no va a poder ser inferior a un mes de salario. Siendo que, para esos casos, los trece sueldos (incluye un año completo de salarios más el aguinaldo) por la indemnización supondría que sean 26 sueldos. Con lo que múltiples especialistas señalan dudas, incoherencias, falta de aclaración y hasta malísima redacción del decreto como el incluir multas, como apunta el artículo quince de la (por empleo en negro), y los artículos 1 y 2 de la ley (sanciona a empresas forzando a sus empleados a comenzar juicio para cobrar sus acreencias). Los trabajadores que no tienen derecho a la indemnización por despido son los trabajadores zafrales, los contratados para tareas transitorias y los contratados a término. Los jornaleros, por su parte, van a tener derecho a un despido si trabajaron cien días en el año.
Es un importe acordado en la negociación igualiaria que no se incorpora al salario básico, pero que está sujeto a deducciones y se toma como base de cálculo de aguinaldo, vacaciones e indemnizaciones. Por norma general, se establece por el lapso que dure el convenio (un año, dieciocho meses o el plazo previsto en el acuerdo) y es una suma fija, que puede ir incrementando a lo largo de este tiempo. En el recibo de salario se enumeran una serie de ítems que son liquidados, ciertos mensualmente, otros de manera ocasional.
Más llá de eso, existen algunos datos que son obligatorios y no pueden faltar en el recibo de salario de cualquier empleado que trabaja en relación de dependencia. El encabezado del recibo debe contener datos sobre el empleador (razón social, domicilio y CUIT), el trabajador (nombre, calificación profesional, CUIL), la relación laboral (fecha de ingreso, categoría) y el periodo de pago (lugar, data, período liquidado, cuenta bancaria).
En los contratos a término indefinido, los trabajadores que devenguen salarios inferiores a diez salarios mínimos mensuales legales tendrán derecho a treinta días de salario, siempre y cuando el trabajador tuviera un tiempo de servicio no mayor de 1 año. Si el trabajador tuviere más de un año de servicio progresivo se le pagarán veinte días auxiliares de salario sobre los treinta básicos.
El empleador tiene la obligación de pagar en base a los plazos de de aviso previo la indemnización va a ser el monto que le hubiera correspondido cobrar al empleado en mes o bien los meses de aviso previo. Paracalcular la indemnización por años de servicio por despido sin causa, se deben tomar elsueldo brutoy que integran las retribuciones sujetas a retención y las exentas, excluyendo las retenciones.
Por otro lado, si el salario es mayor a diez sueldos mínimos legales mensuales, este va a tener derecho a percibir veinte días de salario ya antes de un año y 15 días sobre el salario de los 20 días precedente citado por cada año de servicio continuo. Toda empresa debe pagar a sus empleados como prima de servicios un salario mensual por cada año laborado, o si la vinculación es inferior a un año el pago corresponderá mientras que el trabajador lleve vinculado.
Si al trabajador le faltaba dos meses para salir de vacaciones, se divide el sueldo entre doce y se multiplica por los un par de meses truncos. Ese monto es parte de la liquidación. Ante la falta de pago de la liquidación final o de la indemnización por despido, el trabajador debería reclamar el pago mediante telegrama laboral, a través de el cual se exija el pago adeudado en un máximo de un par de días. La liquidación laboral es un reconocimiento económico que los empleadores hacen a sus trabajadores por finalización del tiempo del contrato a término fijo, retiro por jubilación, terminación unilateral por cualquiera de las partes o finalización del contrato por mutuo acuerdo.

Leeds tram No. 71 @ West Pk./Otley Rd. by Frederick McLean Via Flickr: An old photograph of Leeds City Tramways (LCT) 'Chamberlain' tram No. 71, unfortunately I cannot make out the destination blinds (2 - ????????? - City?). 
 The photo reverse is annotated with "North of West Park, Otley Road", also stamped with the photographer (and/or negative owner) name of H. B. Priestley and the date of 26.5.39. 
 No. 71 was a fully enclosed 'Chamberlain' class car built by Brush seating 26/46 and running on a 4 wheel EMB Pivotal type J truck. It was first in service Jun 1927, was retrucked with a Peckham P35 May 1946, and had both saloons reupholstered in 'red rexine' Nov 1950. 
 It was withdrawn from service in Feb 1956 and in the April was burned at Lowfields Road Permanent Way Yard. The parts of the Leeds tramways systems that had not already been withdrawn or transferred to bus operation closed in Nov 1959.

MCT Oil: What It Is, Benefits + How to Use It
Medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) oil has received a good amount of attention over the years, but what exactly is it? Discover what MCT oil is, where it comes from, its natural benefits, and how to use it.
What Is MCT Oil?
MCT oil is a form of saturated fatty acid that is found naturally in coconut oil and palm oil. MCT oil can be divided into four groups based on carbon length, ranging from six to twelve carbons. The “medium” portion of MCT refers to the-chain length of the fatty acids. Roughly 62 to 65 percent of the fatty acids found in coconut oil are MCTs.
Oils, in general, contain short-chain, medium-chain, or long-chain fatty acids. The medium-chain fatty acids found in MCT oils are:
Caproic acid (C6)
Caprylic acid (C8)
Capric acid (C10)
Lauric acid (C12)
The predominant MCT oil found in coconut oil is lauric acid. Coconut oil is roughly 50 percent lauric acid and is known for its antimicrobial benefits throughout the body. (1) While coconut oil is one of the most popular ways to consume MCT oil, you can also find MCTs in other foods such as:
Grass-fed butter
Palm oil
Full-fat dairy
Goat’s milk
True coconut oil contains all four MCTs as well as some longer-chain fatty acids, while MCT oil is not an oil found in nature, but rather manufactured to separate out the medium-chain fatty acids from the rest of the oils. These fatty acids are extracted out through a process known as fractionation. You can purchase pure MCT oil that is concentrated caprylic and capric acid.
MCT oils are digested differently than other fats since they are sent right to the liver, where they can act as a quick source of fuel and energy at a cellular level. MCT oils provide different proportions of medium-chain fatty acids compared to coconut oil. (2)
Nutritional Value of MCT Oil
Serving size: 1 tablespoon
Calories: 130
Total Fat: 14g
Carbs: 0g
Protein: 0g
Sugar: 0g
6 MCT Oil Health Benefits
MCT oil is widely used in health circles for a number of reasons, but here are the six most popular, research-backed reasons to include this healthy liquid fat in your diet.
1. Weight Loss
MCT oils can have a positive effect on weight loss and fat reduction since they can raise metabolic rate and increase satiety. A 2003 study found that after consuming MCT oil, rather than LCT oil, the body composition and fat oxidation in obese women was improved. Due to their heating effect in the body and their ability to be rapidly used for energy, MCT oils have been found to suppress fat deposits through their ability to enhance thermogenesis and fat oxidation in animals and humans. (3, 4)
2. Energy
MCT oils provide about 10 percent fewer calories than longer-chain fatty acids, which allows the MCT oils to be more rapidly absorbed in the body and quickly metabolized as fuel. Instead of being stored as fat, the calories found in MCT oil are efficiently converted into fuel for immediate use by organs and muscles in the body.
MCTs can cross the double mitochondrial membrane rapidly, and do not require the presence of carnitine, which results in an excess of acetyl-coA. This is important for various metabolic pathways such as the Krebs cycle and production of ketones. (5)
3. Blood Sugar Support
MCTs can raise ketones and lower blood sugar levels naturally, as well as stabilize blood glucose levels and decrease inflammation. MCTs can reduce the output of glucose by the liver while also inhibiting the production of fatty acids in adipose tissue.
MCT oil provides a non-carbohydrate fuel source to the body and brain due to its ability to be quickly absorbed and metabolized. In fact, MCTs can readily cross the blood-brain barrier and be oxidized by the brain, providing a direct and indirect brain fuel source via the generation of ketones and offering diabetic patients a treatment strategy to preserve brain function in times of hypoglycemia without raising blood glucose levels. (6)
4. Appetite Control
Research has found that MCT oil can suppress appetite in those who struggle with cravings and overeating. A 14-day study of six males found that those men who had diets higher in MCT oils consumed less overall calories. (7) Consumption of MCT oil as a part of a weight loss plan can be useful in long-term weight management. Human studies have found that MCT oils can increase fat oxidation and thermogenesis compared to LCT, and have been shown to improve overall fat mass loss. (8)
5. Brain Health
Medium-chain fatty acids are unique in their ability to be absorbed and metabolized by the liver, allowing them to further be converted into ketones. Ketone bodies are an important alternative energy source in the brain, and have been found to be beneficial to those individuals with cognitive impairment, as in Alzheimer’s disease. MCTs from coconut oil may assist in preventing the development of amyloid plaque, a key step in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease. (9)
6. Gut Health
MCT oil consumption can be beneficial for balancing gut bacteria in the microbiome, as well as support digestion and nutrient absorption. MCT oils act as natural antibiotics through their antibacterial and antimicrobial properties thanks to lauric acid, which can reduce pathogenic bacteria. MCT oils were found to provide better protection from infections when compared to longer-chain fatty acids. (10) MCT oils also have shown positive effects on liver and gut health through their ability to reduce inflammation and support the immune response. (11)
Is MCT Oil Paleo?
While true caveman were not sitting around the fire drinking coffee with grass-fed butter and MCT oil, the Paleo people have spoken and MCT oils are not going away anytime soon. While MCT oils are not Paleo by true definition, they are a fan-favorite in the Paleo community thanks to their nutritional benefits.
4 Ways to Use MCT Oil
Looking for a creative way to get more of these marvelous MCTs into your diet? Try these.
1. Add It to Your Coffee or Tea
Start with a teaspoon and work your way up, but simply adding a quick squeeze of MCT oil to your favorite coffee is one of the most popular (and easiest) ways to get more healthy fats into your diet. Add some cinnamon or flavored stevia to your mixture and blend it up for a frothy and fabulous treat.
2. Paleo Mayonnaise
If you are looking to upgrade your chicken or tuna salad, then use a tablespoon of MCT oil, one whole egg yolk, a little extra virgin olive or avocado oil, some lime juice, and sea salt to make your very own Paleo MCT mayonnaise. Blend all of the ingredients together and mix it into your favorite Paleo dish for a creamy texture!
3. Smoothie Boost
Start your morning off right with a nutrient-dense smoothie. Pack your blender with as much Paleo goodness as you can get in there, like a tablespoon of MCT oil, handful of spinach, coconut or almond milk, half a frozen banana, and your favorite Paleo protein powder!
4. Frozen Delights
If you are looking for a way to satisfy your sweet tooth without wreaking havoc on your glucose levels, then give this quick and easy MCT recipe a try!
Combine ½ cup of MCT oil with ¼ cup nuts of choice (pecans are a great option) and a packet of stevia or 1 teaspoon of raw honey.
Line a pan with parchment paper and pour the mixture in. Freeze for 30 minutes.
Remove and break apart into pieces. Drizzle some dark chocolate on top for a not-so-guilty indulgence.
