These include a clinical legal education centre where students can develop their advocacy, dispute resolution, client counselling and negotiation skills in simulated courtroom and office settings. The largest theatre in the facility also serves as a ceremonial moot court.\n“UCD Sutherland School of Law will propel Ireland’s growing international reputation as a location for the study and research of law to the next level,” said UCD president, Dr Hugh Brady. “This outstanding new facility brings all of our research and teaching activities in the law into one single location to create a vibrant atmosphere where our scholars can share their knowledge and ideas and lead Ireland to the forefront of legal education and research.”\n“It is through the singular vision and generosity of one of our most distinguished alumni Peter Sutherland that this development was made possible, and from which generations of students and scholars will enormously benefit.”\n“Education is one of the most important benefits we can pass on to future generations,” said Sutherland. “The rule of law underpins the cohesiveness and prosperity of society, making a sound legal education one of the most important we can deliver.”\n“The new school has been designed to further deepen a strong sense of community within a transformative educational environment where staff and students work together and flourish,” said Prof Colin Scott, dean of law at University College Dublin.\n“The new building offers the school, for the first time, state-of-the-art facilities for research to engage with those who both use and inform its research, in meetings and seminars, but also through professional development conferences and courses at graduate diploma and master’s level.”", "domain": "law"}

We check whether SDC is present on each and every assignment.\nb) Since April 2016, contractors who fall under the supervision, direction and control of their end-user client are not entitled to claim tax-free expenses (including mileage), unless they provide their services from more than one workplace within the same assignment. If so, they are able to claim mileage from home to the secondary workplaces; or between workplaces if they travel to more than one during the same day.\nOur products and services provide options whether contractors fall under the supervision, direction and control of the end-user, or not.\nHMRC’s starting point is that all contractors providing their services via an employment intermediary are under the supervision, direction or control of the end-user.\nIf you need help determining whether your contractors fall under SDC, get in touch. Our SDC check has been developed in conjunction with the UK’s leading tax and employment law advisory bodies and is a robust mechanism for assessing SDC. Call us now on 020 3329 0235.\nTemporary contractors providing their services via an employment intermediary, such as a recruitment agency, are unable to claim tax-free expenses (including mileage where they are travelling to a single site for the entire duration of their engagement), unless:\nContractors who provide their services via an employment intermediary are presumed to be under the supervision, direction or control of the end-user unless proved otherwise. Therefore, the agency and the end-user need to demonstrate that SDC is not present on an assignment. Due diligence and scrutiny of each and every assignment contract is required.\nHowever, HMRC doesn’t tend to police SDC compliance by inspecting individual contracts within individual agencies. Instead, its focus is on businesses like Falcon Contract which are inspected regularly to check compliance with these regulations. It is our responsibility therefore to maintain robust and compliant processes and procedures. This also means that all risk lies with us. So your business is protected. Plus, if you want to audit us as part of your due diligence, we are happy to facilitate that.\nSalary sacrifice is when employees receive non-taxable expense reimbursements instead of taxable salary. The new salary sacrifice rules mean pay cannot be varied by reference to the value of expenses. Authorised Mileage Allowance Payments (AMAPs) fall outside of these rules and can be paid tax-free instead of salary as part of a weekly pay calculation.\nChanges to legislation made in April 2016 affected when relief can be given for expenses incurred. The ability for contractors to vary their weekly salary depending on the amount of expenses claimed was removed for most expenses, although contractors who are eligible to claim tax-free expenses can claim them annually via their self-assessment tax return – which we can do on their behalf.\nThis legislation does not affect Authorised Mileage Allowance Payments (AMAPs) – i.e. the 45p per mile claims that are paid to operatives when they use their own car for business travelling.\nOur products and processes have been carefully designed under the supervision of the UK’s leading tax and employment law advisory bodies. Our systems and procedures have been and will continue to be audited by HMRC.", "domain": "law"}

This law holds German companies with at least 3,000 employees responsible for their supply chains, ensuring transparency, sustainability, and human rights. By addressing risks related to labor rights, human rights, and environmental concerns, this act seeks to create a more responsible business environment.\nKey Features and Importance: The Act on Corporate Due Diligence in Supply Chains emphasizes transparency, collaboration, and reporting. It compels companies to conduct thorough due diligence, assess risks in their supply chains, and mitigate any identified issues. By doing so, the law aims to protect human rights, prevent labor abuses, and minimize environmental harm. Compliance with this act is crucial not only for legal reasons but also for reputational benefits and aligning with international expectations for corporate responsibility.\nSteps for Compliance: To comply with the Act on Corporate Due Diligence in Supply Chains, companies should conduct comprehensive due diligence assessments, establish clear policies and procedures, engage with suppliers, implement reporting mechanisms, and commit to continuous improvement. By actively addressing potential risks, collaborating with suppliers, and adopting sustainable practices, businesses can ensure compliance and contribute to a more ethical and sustainable supply chain ecosystem.\nGermany’s Act on Corporate Due Diligence in Supply Chains sets a significant precedent for responsible business conduct. By holding companies accountable for their supply chains and promoting transparency, sustainability, and human rights, this legislation plays a crucial role in fostering ethical business practices.

The gambling regulator also investigated how Wynn Resorts, the gaming and hospitality company founded by the businessman, addressed the allegations and whether it had any previous knowledge of those.\nsiti casino online\nMassGaming’s report aimed to determine whether Wynn Resorts was suitable to operate an integrated resort in the Greater Boston area. The Las Vegas company holds a gaming license from the Gaming Commission and is currently building the $2.5-billion Encore Boston Harbor hotel and casino complex. The property is slated to open doors in June 2019.\nThe commission was expected to release the results from its probe in December. However, Mr. Wynn filed last month a legal complaint in the Clark County District Court, seeking to block the reveal of the results from the investigation.\nThe businessman’s legal team argued that MassGaming was communicated information by Wynn Resorts that was protected by attorney-client privilege.\nNew Hearing Scheduled for January 4\nBack in November, Clark County District Court Judge Elizabeth Gonzalez temporarily blocked the release of the MassGaming report, saying that she wanted to hear arguments from all involved parties. A hearing took place Thursday, December 20, but Judge Gonzalez did not rule on the matter.\nAttorneys for Mr. Wynn, the Massachusetts Gaming Commission, and Wynn Resorts will instead return to court on January 4 for a new hearing, during which the judge is expected to determine whether the gaming regulator’s report contains privileged information or not.\nAs mentioned earlier, MassGaming is looking to determine whether Wynn Resorts is suitable to operate Massachusetts’ second commercial casino resort. The property is slated to open doors on June 24, 2019, but concerns have been voiced that any delays in the release of the regulator’s report could result in delays in the resort’s launch. Wynn Resorts can even lose its license to operate the property, if deemed unsuitable by MassGaming.\nAs reported on Thursday by Casino News Daily, local lawmakers have grown frustrated by the delayed publication of the sexual harassment allegations report. They have also pointed out that any delays, including in the opening of the resort, could cost the state jobs and revenue. Encore Boston Harbor is expected to create more than 4,500 full-time jobs once fully operational.\nCommenting on the latest developments, Wynn Resorts counsel Patrick Byrne said that the company supports the investigation and is doing everything it can to cooperate. Mr. Byrne went on to say that their desire is to “resolve these privilege issues as soon as possible” so that the investigation can proceed.\nFollow us on Facebook and Twitter to stay up to date on the day’s top casino news stories.", "domain": "law"}

In the announcement on their webpage they state,\n“We, at ACT for America, are committed to protecting women and children from Sharia Law and its impact on Muslim women and children including honor killing and Female Genital Mutilation. We must ensure that every woman and child enjoy the protection afforded by the U.S. Constitution.”\nMuslim groups such as the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) are taking a hard-line stance against the march stating that it will contribute to “the creation of the environment in which violence [against Muslims] feels permissible”. Counter protests are being organized in several locations.\n[Cue screeching tires soundtrack…] The stage has been set – and powerfully energized by numerous horrific hate incidents throughout the world – for potentially ugly confrontation. But do the opposing sides even actually understand what the opposition is protesting? Or do we have the Golden State Warriors attempting to play a championship game against the New England Patriots – different game and different playing field?\nOn the one side, ACT for America has called their protest a “March against Sharia”, when they are actually protesting abusive treatment of women and girls particularly in the forms of honor killing and female genital mutilation, neither of which are a part of Sharia law.\nHonor killing, as defined in Wikipedia.com, is “the homicide of a member of a family, due to the perpetrators’ belief that the victim has brought shame or dishonor upon the family, or has violated the principles of a community or a religion, usually for reasons such as refusing to enter an arranged marriage, being in a relationship that is disapproved by their family, having sex outside marriage, becoming the victim of rape, dressing in ways which are deemed inappropriate, engaging in non-heterosexual relations or renouncing a faith”.\nThe concept of honor killing has somewhat recently emerged in American consciousness due to the proliferation of several cell phone recordings of girls being stoned to death, and the recent murder of 25-year-old Pakistani social media star, Qandeel Baloch, who was killed by her brother for “bringing dishonor to the family”.\nBut were these the acts of psychopathic murderers, or devout Muslims, simply carrying out the teachings of the Quran and being obedient to Sharia law? For the average American, their perception has been wholly shaped by the universal media portrayal of Muslim men as Middle Eastern terrorists and women as submissive and oppressed. Certainly groups such as Al Qaeda, the Taliban, and ISIS exist as very real and terrifying archetypes of this image. But these groups represent only a tiny fraction of the 1.8 billion Muslims of the world.\nThere is another group of Muslims, a very important group, that gets almost no media exposure, is almost never portrayed in action movies or TV dramas – the over 1.5 billion mainstream Muslims, including the over 3 million who live in the United States. I’m talking about the surgeons and attorneys who live in our neighborhoods, and take their families to the mosque on Fridays. Whose kids play on the same sports teams as our kids, and the ladies who are so readily identifiable because they wear the hijab in public. Before we all go out and call our protest a “March against Sharia”, it’s important that we understand what Sharia means to mainstream Muslims, not what it means to deviant and murderous radicals.\nTo further emphasize this point, we must realize that that since June 1, while 8 were killed in London and one in Melbourne Australia, there were over 30 attacks by terrorists naming Islam as their religion against other Muslims, with deaths totaling well over 100. Muslims are the targets of terror attacks to a much greater degree than those of us in the West, in the first week of June alone, by a factor of 10 to 1. We must understand that these terror victims who are Muslims are also our allies against terror, and before we protest Sharia law in blanket fashion, perhaps we should take the time to gain an understanding of how mainstream Muslims view Sharia law.\nGetting back to our question of whether honor killings are the acts of deviant psychopaths, or of devout Muslims following the basic teachings of Islam, our first source is the Quran itself. Most people are surprised to find out that, of the more than 6000 verses encompassed by the Quran, a small percentage are directive, in the form of specific commands, and, properly omitting the passages allowing killing in a defensive struggle, which relate to war, not civil law, “physical punishment was authorized just five times in the entire Quran”, and only addressed four crimes.\nThe first crime addressed is murder (and other forms of violence), for which capital punishment is allowed (or a lesser physical punishment depending on the level of physical violence perpetrated). In this case, if the perpetrator repents before he is apprehended, he may be forgiven. This is found in the Quran 5:37-34.\nThe second crime addressed is stealing, and the punishment is for a cut to be placed on the wrist of the thief, presumably so that he would have been easily identified by merchants in the marketplace. Naturally, extreme versions of Sharia take the most extreme interpretation, amputation of the hand. (Quran 5:38-39).\nThe third crime which allows physical punishment is that of adultery, and the punishment is 100 lashes for both the man and the woman who violate the marriage vows (Quran 24:2). In present-day times, this is admittedly harsh and inappropriate, but when compared to the punishment prescribed in the Old Testament for adultery – stoning to death (Deuteronomy 22:22-25) – Mohammed’s punishment was much less severe.\nThe last crime in the list is falsely accusing someone of adultery, for which whipping is also prescribed as punishment.\nTo sum up, the Quran prescribes capital punishment for murder, as does US legal code, however the Quran allows forgiveness for repentance, while US legal code does not. The use of physical punishment for lesser crimes, and the concept of lashes for violation of the marriage vows are problematic to be sure, but are by no means justification for honor killing. The concept of honor killing is completely absent in the prophetic recitations of Mohammed as recorded in the Quran. Neither the imams who teach in the mosques of mainstream Muslims, nor the rank-and-file Muslims who attend are promoting a kind of Sharia law that promotes honor killing.\nSo if ACT for America wants to March for human rights on behalf of women victims of honor killing, by all means do so, and I will march with you, but it is completely wrong to call the protest a “March against Sharia”.\nIn fact, the history books tell us that in pre-Islamic Arabia, female infanticide was commonly practiced, the child being buried alive the moment she was born. It was Mohammed who strictly forbade this practice in the Muslim community (Quran 81:8-9, 17:31, 16:58-59), and who may be credited for its discontinuance.\nMohammed taught over and over again in opposition to any concept akin to honor killing. The vast majority of Mohammed’s directives involve pure–hearted devotion to a merciful God as reflected by a life of integrity, respecting one’s family, and over and over again, helping those in need. The notion that Mohammed created a religion of violence is simply false. When compared to the tribal culture of Arabia surrounding Mohammed, to the Christian Byzantine kingdom, in which torture was commonplace, and the Sassanid Persian Empire, Islam was truly revolutionary for its strict regulations against violence.\nThe Quran is actually full of directives related to matters of family law, mainly related to making sure that women were treated fairly in matters of property distribution in times of divorce and death. This is why Muslim women favor Sharia law, to the incredulity of those of us in the West.\nJohn Esposito and Dalia Mogahed, in their enlightening book, Who Speaks for Islam, point out that, when it came to honor killings, of those who committed them in the country of Jordan, 69% did not perform their daily prayers and 56% did not perform the fast of Ramadan. In fact, many had histories of violent behavior: 35% had already served sentences for previous crimes, 32% were illiterate, only 4% had attended college and 24% were brought up in broken homes. Clearly, something other than the teaching of Mohammed had driven these men to murder their own female relatives.\nSo, once more, please join ACT for America and march against the victimization of women in honor killings. But the reference to Sharia must be dropped. It doesn’t apply for over 1.5 billion mainstream Muslims, who favor a Sharia law that is primarily about social justice. If so, I venture to say that many will join you.\nMuch more could be said, but we must move on to the subject of female genital mutilation (FGM). It is somewhat understandable, given the woefully distorted media representation that we are all exposed to, that the average American could come to the conclusion that Sharia law demands honor killings. But the assumption that FGM is a Muslim practice is a patent falsehood. One need only consult the well referenced Wikipedia.com article on the subject to know that FGM originated in North Africa prior to the spread of Islam there, and was most widely practiced among primitive tribal groups throughout Central Africa. It is practiced by Christian communities in Africa, in fact, 55% of Christian women and girls in Niger have experienced FGM, compared with only 2% of their Muslim counterparts. There is no mention of it in the Quran, and in 2007, the Al-Azhar Supreme Council of Islamic Research in Cairo, one of the most highly respected institutions of Islamic scholarship, ruled that FGM had ”no basis in core Islamic law or any of its partial provisions”.\nSo in the case of FGM, even more so than for honor killings, it is at best an error of ignorance similar to targeting a turbaned Sikh thinking he is a Muslim, and at worst an overt misrepresentation. By all means march. March for the victims. Stand with them and support them in every way. This is a noble cause. But the reference to Sharia must be removed as absolutely false. The Act for America march on June 10 is a march for the rights of victimized women. Understandably, the acts and practices of the extremist groups who claim to be practicing Islam are included as those being marched against. But it must also be understood that these extremists do not represent mainstream Muslims, rather they target them as victims. And their practices are against the teachings of the Quran – any of the Muslims you find around you will tell you this.\nOnce again, if the name of the march is changed to “March for Victims of Honor Killings and FGM” and the reference to Sharia is removed, Muslims will join the march.\nTo those Muslims who are participating in counter protests, I ask you to visit the website of the organizers to understand the true purpose of the march, and to see that they have disassociated themselves from the Arkansas march, which was hijacked by a white supremacist. The constant reference to Sharia law, a concept of social justice that is integral to the practice of Islam, is upsetting and disturbing. But please understand, or at least try to give the benefit of the doubt, that organizers and participants are wholly ignorant of even the existence of, let alone the teaching of mainstream Islam of nonviolence and social justice. When the term Sharia is used, it refers to the practices of the Wahhabis, ISIS, and the Taliban.\nIf counter protests take place and battle lines are drawn, I fear that the result will be an escalation in tensions between Muslims and non-Muslims in the US, leading to even greater Islamophobia, and inevitably, more violence. America needs education. America has been immersed in completely false yet prolific images of Islam and is almost completely unaware of the teachings and practices of Islam’s mainstream. America is unaware that the strongest force of Islam, its mainstream believers, is our most powerful ally in the struggle against radical terrorism. Our ignorance will be overcome with patience, with peace, and with awareness.

These transactions are mostly concentrated in the registry examination, regional survey of the real estate and translation services.\nAkay Emlak, with its expert staff, facilitates these processes for you and provides you with a comfortable access to your title deed.\nDescriptive information about whether the property is available for purchase, which a foreign citizen is planning to purchase; It can be obtained through our embassies, consulates or General Directorate of Land Registry and Cadastre.\nForeign citizens can purchase houses, land, commercial property, and land, provided that they are within the legal permissions.\nForeign citizens who will purchase vacant land or plots that do not have any structures on it; They are required to submit the project of the building they plan on the relevant land/land to the relevant institutions within 2 years at the latest.\nTurkish laws state that the ownership of a real estate can only change hands with the transfer of title in front of the authorized institutions.\nIn addition, the property may change hands with the promise of sale contract made through a notary public, but the properties that cannot be transferred with the promise of sale contract cannot be transferred even if this contract is made.\nAPPLICATION OF THE PROCEDURE\nA citizen of the country that is planning to buy a property can make a purchase if he is a citizen of a country with no restrictions. Namely; In accordance with the reciprocity agreement, citizens of some countries do not have the right to purchase real estate from our country. Citizens of such countries cannot make purchases.\nThe property owner or his legal representative officially authorized by a notary public will make a preliminary application to the Land Registry Office and transfer the transaction. Depending on the workload of the department, it is processed in the afternoon of the same day or the next day and the process is started.\nWith the start of the process, the Land Registry Office makes the necessary examinations and if the completion of the title deed transfer is approved, it requests that the title deed fee and the revolving fund fee be deposited in proportion to the current value of the real estate. With the payment of these fees and the submission of the relevant receipts to the land registry office, the signature is reached. The parties and, if necessary, accompanied by a sworn translator and under the supervision of the Land Registry officer, the purchase-sale transaction is approved and signed by the parties.\nThus, the new title deed is issued in the name of the buyer and is registered in the title deed records.", "domain": "law"}

Workers exposed to excess vibration can end up with significant conditions related to Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) including painful and disabling disorders of the blood vessels, nerves and joints such as Vibration White Finger and vibration related Carpel Tunnel Syndrome (CTS).\nThe Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005 requires that employers make sure that risks to employees from vibration are assessed and controlled. With this is mind we believe that the Pulsar vB is the only vibration meter you’ll need, it’s fully compliant with the Regulations, and it will help you accurately measure the vibration levels of your tools, and the exposure levels to your employees.\nThe Pulsar vB:\nCan you afford not to measure vibration?\nTo give you some idea of the scale of the issue, in a 1999 study by the UK MRC 4.8 million people worldwide were estimated to be at risk of HAVS, of these c. 1.7m exposed above the EAV, and c. 1m exposed above the ELV. HSE estimates that in the UK 2 million people are a risk of vibration exposure everyday and that VWF claims now represent 9% of all employers’ liability cases, and it is the most reported injury under RIDDOR.\nThe UK HSE research indicates that it costs a company between £7000 and £36,000 to process every £1000 paid out in claims. A significant proportion of this cost is a consequence of both the quality and the difficulties inherent in extracting historical information from past assessments in different formats.\nRecent High profile compensation claims* include:\n*(not including legal costs)\nTo start tackling HAVS in your workplace and ensure your employees are protected from vibration exposure injuries contact Pulsar Instruments today Phone: 01723 518 011, email email@example.com\nThe Vibration Regulations include an exposure action value (EAV) and an exposure limit value (ELV). Employers’ duties are to reduce the risks from vibration to the lowest level reasonably practicable and to reduce exposure to as low as is reasonably practicable if it is above the EAV. You must not allow exposures to exceed the ELV. If you comply with the Vibration Regulations you will prevent disability from HAVS and vibration-related CTS. In the UK, certain cases of HAVS and all cases of vibration-related CTS must be reported to HSE in accordance with the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR).\nMore information for employers can be found in HSE’s publication “Hand-arm vibration at work a brief guide”\nHAVS Facts (HSE 2018)\nHigh profile compensation claims* include:\n*(not including legal costs)", "domain": "law"}

There are other laws that cover them too, but we don't have the info on all of them yet. New Mexico was the first to include tricycle riders.\n** Florida permitted counties to opt out. Three initially did so, but now have all rescinded their exceptions. Private property (a driveway, for example) was excluded but all roads and trails are covered.\n*** Virginia's state enabling legislation permits localities to adopt laws covering only children under the age of 15. Although as shown by the blanks we do not have official confirmation in every case, all of the Virginia laws we have found specify \"fourteen and younger.\" (shown as under 15 in our table)\nThat's a total of 22 State laws (including the District of Columbia as a \"state\") and at least 201 local laws. Only 13 states have no state or local helmet laws at all. (Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, South Carolina, Utah, Vermont and Wyoming)\nThese are bicycle helmet laws. As noted, we often do not have good info on what laws cover skaters, scooter users, Segways or other conveyances, although where known we have a * indicating that.\nHere is the same list by date that the law became effective.\nWe update our page periodically by searching those local municipal and County codes that are available on the Web. You can do that for your community at Municode.com if your own code is posted. Washington State codes are found at Municipal Research Services Center of Washington. Aside from the published codes, our sources are community residents who email us to tell us about their law.\nWe also have another page with more info on mandatory helmet laws, including copies of some of them. And we have a page for anyone writing a new law suggesting language on standards. We recommend looking at the Hernando, MS, law passed in 2010 as one that covers all the bases and has up-to-date language on standards.\nTo search the Web for details on state and local laws, we recommend this page on the League of American Bicyclists site.\nState and local helmet laws now apply in states that include more than half of the total population of the US, but actually a much smaller portion of the population is covered, less than 15 per cent, due to age limitations of the laws. Laws have been proposed and may be either defeated or in some stage of the legislative process in a number of other states.\nIf you need detail on the provisions of these proposed laws, including penalties, enforcement, associated educational campaigns, helmet banks or giveaway programs, treatment of contributory negligence (liability) provisions, or dates of enactment, Safe Kids Worldwide has a status sheet on bicycle helmet laws available from Meg Farrage at 202-662-0616. We are indebted to Safe Kids Worldwide for their help in keeping our list up to date, and to Ralph Wessels for information on the Washington State communities. Shirley Scatcherd provided the info on the St. Louis County local laws (35 of them!), and we have her original detailed compilation of them up. We also have an email with detail on the St Louis County Law including their unique street sign.\nEvaluationsYou can access here a compendium of bicycle helmet safety program evaluations taken from the Centers for Disease Control's MMWR issue titled \"Injury Control Recommendations: Bicycle Helmets\" Please send us any other evaluations you may see in the future so we can add them to this page.\nHere is a link to a formal study on the effect of bicycle helmet legislation on bicycling fatalities.\nConsumer Product Safety Commission staffer Greg Rodgers has published a study concluding that the presence of a State law increases helmet use by 18.4 per cent.\nNew York State reported that since it introduced its first helmet law in 1989 for passengers under 5, and its second in 1994 for riders under 14, the annual rate of cyclists hospitalized from bicycle-related traumatic brain injuries fell for the under 14 group from 464 in 1990 to 209 in 1995. The rate for cyclists 14 and over for the same years declined less rapidly, from 454 to 382. There is no way to determine exactly what proportion of the improvement was due to helmet laws, since there is no data on improvements to bicycle facility safety, rider education or total miles ridden in those years, and helmet promotion campaigns by Safe Kids Worldwide and others were active in the state. But it is likely that increased helmet use, prompted by passage of the first law in 1989 and the promotion campaigns in New York communities, played a role in the reduction of injuries.\nNew Jersey reported in July of 1997 that since it introduced a helmet law for kids under 14 the number of bicycle-related fatalities for that group fell by 60 per cent, from 41 in 1987-1991 to 16 in 1992-1997. For riders age 14 and over the figures were 75 and 71. The School Board of Sommers Point, NJ added a helmet rule and boosted helmet use by those who ride to school from 6 per cent up to more than 70 per cent. Their attorney thought that failure to require helmets could leave the School District liable in the event of an injury.\nDuval County, Florida, reported an increase in helmet use by all ages from 19 per cent in 1996 to 47 per cent in 1997 after the Florida law was passed. Bicycle deaths fell from five to one, and injuries from 325 to 105. Results were even better in the age group covered by the law. Hillsborough County, Florida, also reports an increase in helmet use and a decline in injuries after passage of the same law.\nA study done in North Carolina using actual field observation before (1999) and after (2002) their law covering kids under 16 passed showed a small increase in adult helmet use but no increase for kids covered by the law. Overall on-street NC helmet use went from 18% to 24%, with larger gains among mountain bikers. The study concluded that \"statistical analyses indicate that the law failed to generate a differential increase in helmet use by children ages zero to 15 years, mandated to wear helmets, compared with those ages 16 and above and not covered by the law. Although the difference in helmet use between surveys (1999 pre-law and 2002 post-law) was significant, it is clear that the helmet requirement has had little effect on increasing helmet use by children thus far.\" As far as we know they have not updated the study since 2002.\nA study published in Pediatrics in 2002 found that in Canada the bicycle-related head injury rate declined significantly (45% reduction) in provinces where legislation had been adopted compared with provinces and territories that did not adopt legislation (27% reduction). A 2010 Canadian study showed that bicycle usage remained constant after helmet laws were adopted in two provinces, and that helmet use was increased more by all-ages laws than those applying only to children.\nA study of California statistics by Lee et al published in Accident Analysis & Prevention in 2005 shows that head injuries in the under-16 group covered by the law went down by 18.2 per cent in California after the state helmet law was passed. There was no change in adult head injury rates.\nThis statistical analysis concludes that passing a state-wide bicycle helmet law covering youth riders reduces cycling by those who are covered by the law by 4 to 5 per cent. We note a number of problems with the data they used, but are still concerned about the conclusion. No actual rider counts have ever shown that result anywhere in the US.\nNotesAs of April, 2015, the State of California was considering legislation that would require the Office of Traffic Safety and California Highway Patrol to conduct a study of bicycle helmet use for the legislature and report by January 1, 2017. That replaced a 2015 bill to extend the state's bicycle helmet law to all ages.\nThe National Survey of Bicyclist and Pedestrian Attitudes and Behavior, a Gallup poll sponsored by the US Government, found that 90% of cyclists support helmet laws for children, while 62 percent support such laws for adults. (Here is an excerpt from the study with details.)\nThe Spokane law was passed by the City Council over the Mayor's veto. The Mayor wanted to delay, reduce coverage to those 16 and under, not cover skateboarders or inline skaters and coordinate with neighboring jurisdictions. The Council vote was 5-1 with one absent. Here is a columnist in the local newspaper who agreed with the action.\nThe Shaker Heights, Ohio, law covers adults but not kids under the age of 5 years. It does cover passengers on bicycles, however. The Austin, Texas, law was originally for all ages, but a grass-roots protest movement resulted in limiting it in October, 1997, to riders under 18. A similar change was made in Barrington, Illinois. Seymour, Connecticut, repealed its law. (The referendum also included an unpopular no-smoking law.) An attempt in 1999 to force a referendum on the Farmington Hills, Michigan, law for riders under 16 failed for lack of signatures.\nEl Cerrito, California, dropped its 1993 all-ages law in 2013, noting that the 1994 California State statute takes precedence. In 2015 there is a California State Senate bill that would expand their law to cover all ages, skateboards, non-motorized scooters and more.\nThe Dallas all-ages law was changed in June, 2014 after 18 years and now applies only to riders under 18. The impetus was the establishment of a shared bicycle program, whose promoters believed a strictly-enforced all-ages law would severely restrict their program. A local newspaper reported that the majority of the citations had been handed out in poor, minority neighborhoods, leading to charges that the law was not evenly applied. This article shows that few citations had been handed out to younger riders. And this study indicates that the proportion of head injuries may rise in Dallas, although any effect on injury rates remains to be seen.\nThe City of Oakwood, Ohio, has taken an different route by adopting a resolution encouraging the use of helmets. It directs the Safety Department (Police) to develop educational programs for helmet safety. It also provides the authority for officers to \"wave over\" minor cyclists who are not using protective head gear. No fines or other deterrents are permissible as this is not an ordinance, but a \"soft mandate.\"\nKing County, Washington, mounted a comprehensive safety program with many elements, including their all-ages helmet law. They brought their child deaths down by 62 percent over a nine year period.\nMany bicycle clubs, the US racer's organizing body, USA Cycling and the Triathlon Federation require helmets in their events, although they may or may not support helmet laws. Touring organizations like Adventure Cycling usually require them for tour riders. U.S. military regulations require helmets on military facilities. The National Bicycle Dealers Association opposes mandatory helmet laws. Bicycle Retailer and Industry News has editorialized against them.\nFor some years the World Health Organization Helmet Initiative promoted helmet use for bicycles and motorcycles worldwide. It published a newsletter, Headlines, focused primarily on international helmet promotion and helmet laws. The December, 2004, issue of Headlines had articles on bicycle helmet laws in Sweden and as well as motorcycle helmet laws in Italy and two US states: Kentucky and Louisiana. A 2008 journal article concluded that motorcycle fatality rates are 22-33% lower in state with an all-ages motorcycle helmet law and 7-10% lower when the law covers only certain ages. The Initiative Web page is no longer being funded, however, and during 2010 the Web page may disappear.\nIn Australia, bicycle helmets are mandatory in all states and territories for all ages. Compliance is high but varies by area, with some cities over 90% and rural areas much lower. In the State of Victoria cyclists' head injuries declined 41%. There were 36% fewer child riders on the road, immediately after the legislation passed, but perhaps more adult riders. Changes in ridership may or may not have been related to the passage of the laws, and the road culture in Australia is unique to that country. (No similar effects have ever been documented in the US.) Injury reduction was below expectations, but still spectacular. Hospital data from Western Australia showed that the number of intracranial injuries was cut in half with increased helmet use, while head injuries were less serious, and hospital stays shorter. There is more analysis in this journal article and this followup article. In a survey done in 2011, those who do not ride a bike for transport cited road safety and traffic as their main concerns, with about 16% saying helmets deter them, ranking number 13 in the list. In 2011 a film maker in Brisbane produced this anti-helmet law video for an organization called helmetfreedom.org that hopes to repeal the Queensland law. In 2012 this study of long term bicycle related head injury trends for New South Wales found indicators that cycling has increased and head injuries have dropped over time. Here is a summary by the authors. Posting comments on this blog the critics continue to debate. In 2016 Canberra announced they would study the possibility of relaxing their helmet law for \"parks, town centres and other low-speed environments such as shared zones and university precincts\" in an effort to increase ridership.\nNew Zealand's national helmet law took effect in January, 1994. This study shows that although cyclists' injuries increased in the years thereafter, head injuries declined. If the link does not work we have another copy.\nSweden is reportedly considering a national law. Iceland's mandatory helmet rule, a ministerial decree covering children under 15, came into effect in September of 1999. The Spanish legislature passed a comprehensive bicycle law in mid-1999 that reportedly included a mandatory helmet provision, although we do not have any further information on it. The Swedish government has conducted an international literature search, summarized in this study published in 2003. (See page four for the English abstract.) They found that helmet laws can achieve levels of usage not achieved by education alone, that helmet laws reduce head injuries, and that helmet laws can result in a reduction of cycling by young people. We have the abstract up on our site if you can't deal with the .pdf file.\nThe British Medical Association examined the evidence and recommended in 2004 that the UK adopt a mandatory helmet law for both children and adults. They had previously recognized the benefits of helmet use but had feared that a helmet law might reduce cycling, resulting in negative net health benefits. That same argument led readers polled by the BMA's magazine to vote against helmet laws in 2011. In 2010 Jersey was considering a new law that would require helmets for riders under 18, having rejected a proposal for an all-ages law. The UK's Transport Research Laboratory has published a paper on the effectiveness of helmets. It found that in 2008, 34 per cent of riders in the UK were already wearing helmets on major roads, and 17 per cent on minor roads. In a 2011 poll of 4000 cyclists conducted by the non-profit IAM, ten percent of the respondents said they would quit cycling if a mandatory helmet law were enacted.\nThe Copenhagen Post reported in November, 2009 that a failed attempt to pass a Danish law requiring helmets for those under 12 was being revived after evidence surfaced that the proportion of Danish cyclists arriving at emergency rooms with head injuries was declining as helmet use there has increased to about one in six cyclists.\nIn 2011 Switzerland considered a helmet law as part of a package to reduce road deaths, but the Transportation Committee of the National Council rejected the recommendation.\nCanada has provincial and local helmet laws. Ontario's helmet law for cyclists under 18 took effect in 1995. It was originally to have covered all ages, and there is a bill in parliament now to extend it to do that. There is spirited opposition by a few cyclists there. (see links below) Proponents cite the cost of cyclists' injuries to the national health system, without reference to the much greater cost of treating those injured in cars, a blind spot also found in the US. In March, 2003, the Canadian Institute for Health Information announced that hospitalizations due to cycling-related injuries were down 12.5 per cent between 1997-98 and 2001-02. Head injuries fell even more precipitously, by 26 per cent during the same period. British Columbia's 1996 all-ages law was very successful in increasing helmet use, according to an evaluation project for this law conducted by the University of North Carolina. It showed substantial increases in helmet use after the law was passed. There are exceptions to the law for medical exemptions, those with heads larger than size 8 (manufacturers had not yet begun producing the extra extra large helmets available today) and those whose religion requires headgear that makes helmets impossible (primarily Sikhs). Nova Scotia's law came into effect in 1997 and covers all ages. New Brunswick also has an all-ages law. In Quebec, the Montreal suburbs of Cote Saint-Luc and Westmount have passed by-laws requiring the use of bicycle helmets within their boundaries. In October, 1997, the Cote Saint-Luc law was extended to cover bicyclists and skaters of all ages. Alberta added a law on May 1, 2002, requiring helmets for riders under 18, including passengers and toddlers on tricycles. Prince Edward Island's law was effective on July 5, 2003, and covers all ages. A research project in Toronto before and after their law came into effect showed that \"although the number of child cyclists per hour was significantly different in different years, these differences could not be attributed to legislation. In 1996, the year after legislation came into effect, average cycling levels were higher (6.84 cyclists per hour) than in 1995, the year before legislation (4.33 cyclists per hour).\" Conclusion: Contrary to the findings in Australia, the introduction of helmet legislation did not have a significant negative impact on child cycling in this community. Manitoba's under-18 helmet law comes into effect during 2013. They will permit first-time offenders to avoid a fine by taking an on-line bike safety quiz. A 2015 law in Newfoundland and Labrador requires all cyclists of any age to wear a helmet.\nDubai adopted an all-ages mandatory helmet law in 2010. The fine for not wearing a helmet is 500 dirhams, about $136 US.\nFinland passed a mandatory helmet law with an effective date of January, 2003. It covers all ages, but there is no fine associated with breaking the law.\nSpain adopted a mandatory helmet law for cycling outside of cities in 2004. Helmets are not compulsory in towns and may be removed while climbing steep hills. In addition, Spain adopted a mandatory helmet law for riders under 17 in March of 2014.\nIceland's under 15 rule is mentioned above\nThe Czech Republic requires helmets for those under 16.\nFrance has a lively discussion on helmets going on. The best summary is probably this page on the Mieux se Déplacer à Bicyclette site. They analyze deaths in Paris and in France as a whole and conclude that helmet usage is a personal question but can save lives.\nThe Netherlands has a similar discussion, focusing primarily on children and seniors. Helmet laws would be a big step for a country as bike-centric as the Netherlands, where cycling has been made safer by meticulous attention to road facilities, legal structure that places all blame on a motorist in a crash and by high volumes of riders.\nJapan adopted a national helmet law in 2008 that requires children under 13 to wear helmets. This story reports that 76 per cent of the surveyed parents of kids 1 to 6 years old had bought helmets for their kids, but only 54 per cent said the kids always wear them.\nMexico City briefly adopted a mandatory helmet law, but this article on the European Bicycle Federation site says they repealed it in February of 2010 in an effort to support their shared bicycle rental program, Ecobici. We have more comments on our page on shared bicycle programs.\nIn April of 2003 the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) announced that it intended to make helmet use compulsory in the professional races it sanctions. The ruling has stuck this time (in 1991 an compulsory helmet rule was rejected by the riders). It followed several well-publicized deaths, including that of Kazakh rider Andrei Kivilev. Kivilev died of a head injury without a helmet. The impetus for the ruling had also grown since a helmeted rider fell on a turn at an intersection in a rainy Dutch stage of the Tour de France and hit his head on a concrete bollard in the center of the road, but to the astonishment of the crowd got up and raced away. In 2004 the UCI even extended its requirement for impact protection to the teardrop-shaped \"chrono\" helmets the riders use in time trials for better aerodynamics. The rule has an exemption for elite riders in climbs of more than 5 km.\nThe Bicycle Helmet Safety Institute supports carefully drawn mandatory helmet laws covering all age groups because we believe they are needed to raise awareness that helmets save lives, in the same way that seatbelt laws and smoke detector requirements were used to inform the public that those safety devices were necessary. Many riders and parents do not know that they need a helmet, and the laws educate as much as they force compliance. We also believe that most riders regard helmets as a fashion item rather than as a safety appliance, and like any other fashion this one may wane. We support efforts to improve the safety of the cycling environment to reduce the need for helmets, and that should always be regarded as the primary injury prevention measure for reducing all injuries to cyclists. We do not believe that wearing a helmet causes riders to take additional risks. We believe that in this country promoting helmets will not detract from the effort to improve road safety, and in fact has stimulated those efforts, giving us the most widespread and best-supported campaigns for better road safety for cyclists that we have ever had in our history. We are keenly aware that safer cycling requires more riders on the streets, but we do not believe that helmets discourage cycling in the US. Since bicycles on a public road are vehicles, we believe that the operator has the rights and obligations of vehicle users in our ever-more-populated and outrageously unsafe road environment, so requiring a bicycle helmet is as reasonable as requiring a helmet on a motorcycle rider or requiring seatbelt usage in cars. We would support provisions for medical exemptions based on a doctor's certification or religious requirements for headgear.", "domain": "law"}

The proposed ban has sparked debates and discussions among policymakers, health experts, and the public.\nRecently, the Hong Kong government announced that it would not proceed with plans to ban the sale of vaping products, at least for the time being. The decision comes after careful consideration of various factors, including public opinion, scientific evidence, and potential economic implications.\nReasoning Behind the Decision\nSeveral factors likely influenced Hong Kong’s decision to postpone the ban on vape sales. Firstly, there is ongoing debate regarding the effectiveness of vaping regulations in reducing tobacco use and protecting public health. Additionally, concerns have been raised about the impact of a vape ban on businesses and consumers.\nImplications and Future Outlook\nPublic Health Concerns\nWhile the decision to delay the vape sales ban may provide relief to businesses and consumers, it also raises concerns about public health. E-cigarettes have been subject to scrutiny due to potential health risks, especially among young people. Hong Kong authorities will need to carefully consider evidence-based policies to address these concerns while balancing individual freedoms and public health priorities.\nThe decision highlights the importance of establishing a comprehensive regulatory framework for vaping products. Effective regulation should focus on restricting youth access, ensuring product safety and quality, and promoting harm reduction strategies for adult smokers looking to quit traditional cigarettes.\nContinued Debate and Dialogue\nThe debate surrounding vaping regulation is likely to continue as policymakers, health experts, and stakeholders grapple with complex issues related to public health, individual rights, and industry interests. Continued dialogue and collaboration will be essential to develop evidence-based policies that address the evolving landscape of vaping.\nHong Kong’s decision to postpone plans to ban vape sales reflects the complexities and challenges associated with regulating e-cigarettes. While the announcement provides temporary relief, it underscores the need for thoughtful and evidence-based approaches to vaping regulation. Moving forward, policymakers must work collaboratively to develop policies that protect public health while respecting individual freedoms.\nStay tuned for further developments and updates on vaping regulations in Hong Kong and around the world.", "domain": "law"}

These terms of sale regulate the legal relations between the customers of the online store (hereinafter \"\"customer\"\" or \"\"buyer\"\") and Al Bundy OÜ.\n2. Compliance with the terms of sale is mandatory for the customer.\n3. When placing an order, the customer declares that he or she has read and understood these terms and conditions of sale.\n4. In the event of a conflict between the terms of the sale and the mandatory rules, the latter shall prevail. If necessary (for example, in case of disputes or missing information), the legal provisions supplement these terms of sale.\n5. In addition, the relationship is regulated by good trading practices and additional information published in the online store with photos of the goods, as well as the online store's instructions to the customer.\n6. The online store has the right to unilaterally change the terms of sale and the composition and prices of the offered goods at any time without prior notice. If the customer submits the order before the change takes effect, the conditions and prices valid at the time of sending the order apply to the customer. In this case, the customer has no right to demand compensation for the price difference.\n7. Not all items displayed in the online store may always be in stock. In this case, the online store will contact the customer and offer a new delivery time or replacement of the goods with another goods of the same price. If the customer does not agree with the offer, he or she can refuse the order and the money paid will be returned to the customer.\n8. The descriptions of the goods may not be exhaustive and may contain unintentional errors.\n9. Orders submitted to the online store will be reviewed and the buyer will be contacted by e-mail no later than the working day following the submission of the order.\n10. When submitting the order, the customer must enter the data necessary for the performance of the sales contract (incl. the customer's surname and first name, telephone number, e-mail address and the method of delivery of the goods).\n11. The customer undertakes to provide true data that is necessary for the online store to fulfill the order. The online store is not responsible for non-fulfillment of the order due to incorrect data provided by the customer or other negative consequences thereof.\n12. Delivery time within Estonia is up to 5 working days, unless otherwise stated. Generally, the delivery time of the goods is less than 3 working days. If the online store cannot deliver some goods within 5 working days, the customer will be informed immediately. In this case, the customer can cancel the order and the amount paid will be returned to the customer.\n13. The goods are delivered by courier only to the address entered in the order or to the parcel machine and handed over only to the customer. The goods are handed over to a third party only by special agreement with the customer.\nII Withdrawal from the sales contract by the customer before performance of the sales contract\n14. If the customer wishes to withdraw from the contract after placing the order and before the online store fulfills the sales contract, he or she undertakes to notify the online store as soon as possible. To do this, the customer must send the corresponding withdrawal application to the e-mail address email@example.com. The withdrawal application must contain the order number from which it is desired to withdraw and the necessary information (customer's first and last name, date of submission of the order, e-mail address and telephone number). The online store will return the amount paid by the customer within 30 days of receiving the compliant withdrawal application.\n15. If the withdrawal application reaches the online store after the latter has started the performance of the contract for the sale of products, only Part V (Right of Withdrawal) of the terms of sale applies.\nIII Placing an order\n16. To order goods, you need to add the desired products to the shopping cart. To place an order, fill in the required data fields and select the appropriate method of product delivery. The amount of the fee that can be paid via a bank link or another payment solution is displayed on the screen.\n17. The agreement enters into force upon receipt of the amount due to the current account of the online store. If the ordered goods cannot be delivered due to the end of the goods or for any other reason, the buyer will be notified as soon as possible and the money paid will be refunded immediately, but not later than within 14 days of sending the notice.\nIV Right of withdrawal\n18. After receiving the goods, the buyer has the right to withdraw from the contract concluded in the e-shop within 14 days.\n19. The right of withdrawal does not apply if the buyer is a legal person or if the goods were purchased in a physical store.\n20. In order to exercise the 14-day right of withdrawal, the ordered goods may not be used in any other way than is necessary to verify the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods in the manner permitted for testing the goods in a physical store.\n21. If the goods have been used for purposes other than those necessary to ascertain the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods or have signs of use or wear, the online store has the right to reduce the refundable fee according to the decrease in value or refuse to refund the fee.\n22. In order to return the goods, an application for withdrawal from the purchase of the goods must be submitted, the form of which can be found here: withdrawal application and sent to the e-mail address firstname.lastname@example.org within 14 days of receipt of the goods.\n23. The costs of returning the goods shall be borne by the buyer, unless the reason for the return is the fact that the item to be returned does not correspond to what was ordered (e.g., a wrong or defective item).\n24. The buyer must return the goods within 14 days of submitting the application or provide proof that he has handed over the goods to the carrier within the aforementioned period.\n25. The online store will refund all fees received from the buyer under the contract immediately upon receipt of the returned goods to the buyer, but not later than after 14 days.\n26. The online store may refuse to make refunds until the goods that are the subject of the contract have been returned or until the buyer has provided proof that he has returned the item, whichever is earlier.\n27. If the buyer has explicitly chosen a delivery method other than the cheapest normal delivery method offered by the online store, the online store does not have to reimburse the buyer for a cost that exceeds the cost associated with the normal delivery method.\n28. The online store has the right to withdraw from the sales contract and demand the return of the goods from the buyer if the price of the goods in the online store is significantly lower than the market price of the goods due to a mistake.\nV Right to lodge a complaint\n29. The online store is liable for non-compliance or defect of the goods sold to the buyer, which already existed at the time of delivery of the thing and which becomes apparent within two years from the delivery of the goods to the buyer. During the first six months from the delivery of the thing to the buyer, it is presumed that the defect already existed at the time of delivery of the goods. It is the responsibility of the online store to rebut this presumption. The buyer has the right to contact the online store at email@example.com within two months at the latest. 30. The online store is not responsible for defects that have occurred after the delivery of the goods to the buyer.\n31. If the goods purchased from the online store have defects for which the online store is responsible, the online store will repair or replace the defective goods. If the goods cannot be repaired or replaced, the online store will return all fees associated with the sales contract to the buyer.\n32. The online store shall respond to the complaint submitted by the consumer in writing or in a form that can be reproduced in writing within 15 days.\n33. If the buyer and the online store are unable to resolve the dispute by agreement, the buyer can turn to the Consumer Disputes Committee. The terms of the procedure can be viewed and the application submitted here. The Consumer Disputes Committee is competent to resolve disputes arising from the contract concluded between the buyer and the online store. The Committee's review of the buyer's complaint is free of charge.\n34. The buyer can also turn to the European Union's consumer dispute resolution platform.", "domain": "law"}

Section One consists of the “core rules” of BlogNomic, covering basic proposal mechanics; Section Two contains the rules of the current dynasty; Section Three contains rules which apply in special cases; and Section Four contains the appendix, which exists solely to clarify the remainder of the ruleset.\nThe Ruleset and Gamestate can only be altered in manners specified by the Ruleset.\nEMs may correct obvious spelling and typographical mistakes in the Ruleset and their own Pending Proposals at any time, including replacing Spivak and gender-specific pronouns with the singular “they”.\nIf the Ruleset does not properly reflect all legal changes that have been made to it, any EM may update it to do so.\nAny human may apply to join BlogNomic (if they are not already an EM) by registering at http://blognomic.com via the Register link in the sidebar, and then making a post making clear their wish to be a EM. An Admin shall add them to the roster in the sidebar and the GNDT, at which moment they become an EM.\nAn EM may cease to be an EM at any time by posting an entry to the BlogNomic weblog requesting such an action. A human who has ceased to be an EM in this way may not become an EM again within the following two weeks. An EM may only change their name as a result of a proposal approving the change.\nSome EMs are Admins, responsible for updating the site and the Ruleset, and are signified as such in the sidebar. EMs who wish to become Admins may sign up with a username for the Ruleset Wiki, and submit a Proposal to make themselves Admins. Existing Admins may be removed from their posts by Proposal, CfJ, or voluntary resignation. New admins shall be given the GNDT configuration password when they become admins.\nSome EMs are Idle, and shall be marked as such in the sidebar. For the purposes of all Gamestate and the Ruleset, excluding Rules “Ruleset and Gamestate”, “EMs”, “Dynasties”, “Fair Play” and any of those Rules’ subrules, Idle EMs are not counted as EMs.\nIf a Proposal contains a provision that targets a specifically named Idle EM, then that Idle EM is considered to be Unidle solely for the purposes of enacting that specific provision.\nWhen an EM is unidled, if they went Idle in the same dynasty, their personal gamestate retains the last legally endowed values it had, if they are still valid. Otherwise (including if a value is invalid, does not exist, or the EM Idled in a different dynasty), the EM is given the default value for new EM, if such a value exists.\nAn Admin may render an EM Idle if that EM has asked to become Idle in an entry or comment from the past four days, or if that EM has not posted an entry or comment in the last seven days. In the latter case, the Admin must announce the idling in a blog post. Admins may render themselves Idle at any time, but should announce it in a post or comment when they do so. An Admin may Unidle an EM if that EM is Idle and has asked to become Unidle in an entry or comment from the past four days, and Idle Admins may Unidle themselves at any time, unless the EM who would be Unidled asked to become (or rendered themselves) Idle within the previous four days, and within the current dynasty.\nAdmins who are unidling themselves should, in their first vote following each unidling, highlight their changed idle status and any changes to quorum to have come about as a result of it.\nIdle Admins can enact and fail Votable Matters.\nBlogNomic is divided into a number of Dynasties. Each Dynasty may be headed by a single EM, known as the UN Secretary-General (abbreviated UNSG). If there is no UNSG, the Dynasty is a Metadynasty.\nA Votable Matter is a post which EMs may cast Votes on, such as a Proposal, a Call for Judgement or a Declaration of Victory.\nEach EM may cast one Vote on a Votable Matter by making a comment to the Official Post that comprises that Votable Matter using a voting icon of FOR, AGAINST, or DEFERENTIAL. Additional voting icons may be permitted in some cases by other rules. A valid Vote is, except when otherwise specified, a Vote of FOR or AGAINST. An EM’s Vote on a Votable Matter is the last valid voting icon that they have used in any comment on that Votable Matter. Additionally, if the author of a Votable Matter has not used a valid voting icon in a comment to the post, then the author’s Vote is FOR. A non-EM never has a Vote, even if they were an EM previously and had cast a valid Vote.\nIf an EM other than the UNSG casts a vote of DEFERENTIAL, then the Vote of DEFERENTIAL is an indication of confidence in the UNSG. When the UNSG has a valid Vote other than VETO on a Votable Matter, then all votes of DEFERENTIAL on that Votable Matter are instead considered to be valid and the same as the UNSG’s Vote for the purposes of other rules unless otherwise specified.\nA Votable Matter is Popular if any of the following are true:\n- It has a number of FOR Votes that exceed or equal Quorum.\n- It has been open for voting for at least 48 hours, it has more than 1 valid Vote cast on it, and more valid Votes cast on it are FOR than are AGAINST.\nA Votable Matter is Unpopular if any of the following are true:\n- The number of EMs who are not voting AGAINST it is less than Quorum.\n- It has been open for voting for at least 48 hours and it is not Popular.\nEnacting and Failing\nVotable Matters can either be Pending, Enacted, or Failed. When a Votable Matter is first put forward, it is considered Pending.\nWhenever an Admin resolves a Votable Matter, they should mark their name, and are highly encouraged to report the final tally of Votes (or the fact that it was self-killed or vetoed). Comments cannot be made on Enacted or Failed Votable Matters.\nThis rule cannot be overruled by Dynastic Rules in its application to Calls for Judgement or Declarations of Victory.\nAny EM may submit a Proposal to change the Ruleset or Gamestate, by posting an entry in the “Proposal” category that describes those changes (unless the EM already has 2 Proposals pending, or has already made 3 Proposals that day).\nSpecial Proposal Voting\nWhen an EM casts a vote AGAINST their own Proposal (which is not in the form of a DEFERENTIAL vote), this renders the Proposal Self-Killed, even if the author later changes their Vote. The UNSG may use VETO as a voting icon to cast a Vote on a proposal; when the UNSG casts a vote of VETO on a Proposal, this renders the Proposal Vetoed, even if the UNSG later changes their Vote.\nResolution of Proposals\nThe oldest Pending Proposal may be Enacted by any Admin (by updating the Ruleset and/or Gamestate to include the specified effects of that Proposal, and then setting that Proposal’s status to Enacted) if all of the following are true:\n- It is Popular.\n- It has been open for voting for at least 12 hours.\n- It has not been Vetoed or Self-Killed.\nThe oldest Pending Proposal may be Failed by any Admin, if any of the following are true:\n- It is Unpopular.\n- It has been Vetoed or Self-Killed.\nIf a proposal somehow ends up being pending for more than 7 days, it is ignored for the purpose of calculating the oldest pending proposal, and can be failed by any Admin.\nCalls for Judgement\nIf two or more EMs actively disagree as to the interpretation of the Ruleset, or if an EM feels that an aspect of the game needs urgent attention, then any EM may raise a Call for Judgement (abbreviated CfJ) by posting an entry in the “Call for Judgement” category.\nA Pending CfJ may be Enacted by any Admin if all of the following are true:\n- It is Popular.\nA Pending CfJ may be Failed by any Admin if any of the following are true:\n- It is Unpopular.\n- It specifies neither changes to the Gamestate or Ruleset nor corrections to any gamestate tracking entities.\nWhen a CfJ is Enacted, the Admin Enacting it shall update the Gamestate and Ruleset, and correct the GNDT and other gamestate tracking entities, as specified in the CFJ.\nThis Rule may not be overruled by Dynastic Rules.\nVictory and Ascension\nIf an EM (other than the UNSG) believes that they have achieved victory in the current Dynasty, they may make a post to the Blognomic weblog in the Declaration of Victory category, detailing this.\nIf the game is not already in Hiatus and there is a pending DoV, the game immediately goes into Hiatus, if it hasn’t already. During this time, the only game actions that may be taken are those covered by Rules “EMs”, “Votable Matters”, “Calls for Judgement”, “Gamestate Tracking” and “Victory and Ascension”.\nEvery EM may cast Votes on that DoV to indicate agreement or disagreement with the proposition that the poster has achieved victory in the current Dynasty.\nA Pending DoV may be Enacted by any Admin if any of the following is true:\n- It is Popular, it has been open for at least 12 hours, and either the UNSG has Voted FOR it or it has no AGAINST Votes.\n- It is Popular, and it has been open for at least 24 hours.\nA Pending DoV may be Failed by any Admin if any of the following are true:\n- It is Unpopular, and it has been open for at least 12 hours.\nWhen a DoV fails and there are no pending DoVs, Hiatus ends.\nWhen a DoV is enacted, all other pending DoVs are failed, and a new Dynasty begins with the EM who made the DoV as its UNSG. That EM may pass this role to another EM at this point by making a post to that effect, if they wish. The Hiatus continues until the new UNSG makes an Ascension Address by posting an entry in the “Ascension Address” category - this should specify the UNSG’s chosen theme for the new Dynasty, and may optionally specify that the terms EM and UNSG will be replaced with theme-specific terms throughout the entire ruleset, and/or a number of dynastic rules to keep. Upon posting such an Ascension Address, the Ruleset is updated to reflect any changed terms, and any dynastic rules which were not listed to be kept are repealed.\nA DoV may not be started in the period between an enacted DoV and that DoV’s Ascension Address. When a DoV is failed, if it had at least one AGAINST vote, the EM who posted it cannot make another DoV until after 120 hours (5 days) have passed since the time their DoV was failed.\nThis rule cannot be overruled by Dynastic Rules as it relates to Declarations of Victory, but can be overruled in other matters.\nThe following are BlogNomic’s rules of fair play. If any of these rules are found to have been broken, or if an EM’s behaviour or actions are otherwise deemed unacceptable (socially or otherwise), a proposal or CfJ may be made to reprimand or punish the perpetrator or, in cases of extreme or repeated violations, remove them from the game and bar them from rejoining. EMs should vote against any DoV that relies on having broken a fair play rule.\n- A single person should not control more than one non-Idle EM within BlogNomic, and should announce publicly if they control both a non-Idle EM and any Idle EMs.\n- An EM should not “spam” the BlogNomic blog. What counts as spamming is subjective, but would typically include posting more than ten blog entries in a day, more than ten blog comments in a row, or posting a blog entry of more than 1000 words.\n- An EM should not deliberately exploit bugs or unexpected behaviours in the software running the game (ExpressionEngine, MediaWiki or the GNDT).\n- An EM should not edit their own blog comments once posted, nor those of any other EM.\n- An EM should not edit the “Entry Date” field of a blog post.\n- An EM should not make a DoV primarily to delay the game by putting it into Hiatus.\n- An EM should not do any action meant to make the game unplayable (for example, changing multiple keywords to the same word in an ascension address).\n- An EM should not roll dice in the GNDT that are clearly associated with a particular action in the Ruleset, but with the intention to not use these rolled values to the best of their ability to resolve that action.\n- An EM should not deliberately and unreasonably prolong the performance of a game action once they have started it.\n- An EM should not use a core, special case or appendix rules scam to directly or indirectly achieve victory\nEach EM has an Industrial Output, which is tracked in the GNDT as IO, and is by default unset. An unset Industrial Output has a value of zero.\nThe Average Output of a Continent is the arithmetical mean (rounding down) of the Industrial Output of every Energy Minister who represents a nation from that Continent, or zero if no Energy Ministers represent nations from it.\nAn Energy Minister with a Seat at the UN who has an unset Industrial Output may at any time set it to any value within 10 of their Continent’s Average Output, or to any value between 10 and 40 if their Continent’s Average Output is zero.\nThe Year is 2156. The mean global temperature anomaly (MGTA), measured in millikelvin, is 848.\nAdvancing a Year is an atomic action consisting of:\n- Increasing the Year by one.\n- Increasing the MGTA by the sum of the IO of all Energy Ministers.\n- For each Energy Minister, rolling DICE8000 in the GNDT and adding the Latitude of that Minister’s Continent. If the result is less than the MGTA, remove a random Asset from that Energy Minister.\n- Making a post to the blog indicating that the Year has been Advanced.\nIf no EM has done so within the last 46 hours, any EM with a Seat at the UN may Advance a Year.\nAn EM may take an Annual Action if they have not taken any Annual Actions or Leap Actions since the Year was most recently Advanced. An EM may take a Leap Action if they have not taken any Annual Actions or Leap Actions since the Year was most recently Advanced, if the Year is divisible by 4.\nEach Energy Minister represents a nation from a Continent, that Continent being tracked in the GNDT. Eight Continents exist, with the following Names and (in brackets) Latitudes:-\n- Africa (9)\n- Antarctica (90)\n- Asia (34)\n- Australia (25)\n- Europe (54)\n- North America (54)\n- South America (9)\n- Undefined (0)\nAn Energy Minister’s Continent may be any Continent from that list, defaulting to Undefined. (An Undefined Continent may be tracked as “-” in the GNDT.) If an Energy Minister’s Continent is not Undefined, then they are considered to have a Seat at the UN.\nAn Energy Minister without a Seat at the UN may set their Continent to any valid value other than “Undefined”, at any time.\nPower and Assets\nEach EM has a number of Assets, tracked as a list in the GNDT column “Assets”, and defaulting to no Assets. An EM’s Power is the number of Assets they have. The following are Assets and their effects (if any):\nAn EM may not have more than five Assets in total.\n- Money: You can swap a Money you have for an Asset of your choice, newly created from the list of Assets in this rule.\n- Military: Choose an EM with less Military Assets than you. That EM loses an Asset of your choice (if they have any). This action is Attacking, and is an Annual Action. Attacking can only be done if the MGTA is above 1200.\n- Influence: Choose an EM with less Influence Assets than you. That EM loses an Asset of your choice (if they have any). This action is Propaganda, and is an Annual Action. Propaganda can only be done if the MGTA is below 600.\n- Technology: Increase your IO by 10 upon acquiring this. Decrease your IO by 10 upon losing this.\n- Green Policies: Decrease your IO by 10 upon acquiring this (your IO can be negative with this). Increase your IO by 10 upon losing this.\n- Control: If you have two or more Control Assets, you cannot be the target of Propaganda.\n- Privileged: If you have two or more Privileged Assets, you cannot be the target of Attacks.\n- Giant Ice Cube: Lower the MGTA by 100 when you acquire this. Increase the MGTA by 100 when you lose this. Whenever you gain Money, you lose this Asset.\n- Oil Rig: If you have at least one Oil Rig, as a Leap Action, you can Drill: multiply the current MGTA by 1.10 (rounded up) and gain 1 Money.\n- Blogium: If you are the sole EM (who hasn’t been Idle in the last 72 hours) with the most Blogium Assets, you are the Blogium Lead.\n- Nomium: If you are the sole EM (who hasn’t been Idle in the last 72 hours) with the most Nomium Assets, you are the Nomium Lead.\n- Icium: If you are the sole EM (who hasn’t been Idle in the last 72 hours) with the most Icium Assets, you are the Icium Lead.\nAn EM who has been an EM in this dynasty for less than 48 hours, who has a Seat at the UN and who has no Assets can Claim International Aid, if they have not already Claimed International Aid in the previous 48 hours: this gives them four Money Assets. At any time, an EM can declare a Revolution and lose 1 of their Assets to change all of their Assets to Money.\nEach EM with an IO set above 29 may add 1 Money to their Assets as a Leap Action. Each EM with an IO set below 30 may change one of their Assets to Money as a Leap Action.\nIn this age of revolutionary new technologies, teleportation is a must for most international leaders and businessmen. It’s not all that expensive, but due to the fact that it produces small quantities of radioactive waste matter it is banned from use in everyday contexts. For VIPs, the time saved and the convenience of in-person meetings can be considered worth the impact, and may even be required, more than expected.\nA Proposal with the [Teleport] or [Teleportation] tag is a Teleportation Proposal. Whenever a Teleportation Proposal is resolved, the MGTA increases by 10 for each EM that voted on that Proposal. The resolving Admin is encouraged to also resolve and report this change.\nProposals which are not Teleportation Proposals are called Slow Proposals. If a Slow Proposal is more than 48 hours old and has exactly 1 more vote FOR than AGAINST, it is Unpopular instead of Popular.\nEnd of the World!\nIf the MGTA is above 4000, and no EM has achieved victory, then the EM named pokes has achieved victory.\nIf the EM named pokes has achieved victory, and the safety phrase, which is “hot dog”, is not the final words of this rule, they may post an Ascension Address as if they had posted an enacted DoV.\nThe safety phrase is here: hot dog.\nSubrules of this rule are known as Treaties. Each treaty has a subset of Energy Ministers that are signatories to the treaty, listed at the end of the treaty. At any time, if an Energy Minister is not a signatory to a treaty, they may become a signatory to that treaty by adding their name to the list of that treaty’s signatories. The action of becoming a signatory to a treaty is also known as signing the treaty.\nSignatories to this treaty may not Attack other signatories to this treaty. When a EM becomes a signatory to this treaty, they gain one Privileged asset. Signatories are: TyGuy6, Farsight\nPact of the Cube\nSignatories to this treaty may not use Propaganda against an EM with a Giant Ice Cube. Signatories are:\nWhen an EM signs this Treaty, they gain 1 Money. If all EMs (excluding the UNSG) are signatories to this Treaty, a Robot Uprising happens.\nWhen a Robot Uprising happens, all Assets that EMs have become Technology, and MGTA is multiplied by 1.20\nCuddlebeam, Kevan, Farsight\nIf, for 24 consecutive hours, an EM has been at least two of the three Leads simultaneously, (among Blogium Lead, Nomium Lead and Icium Lead,) they have achieved victory.\nAt any time, an EM may spend a Money Asset to help develop the UN’s Global Atmospheric Processor (GAP). When an EM does this, they receive a Merit Asset and the MGTA is reduced by 50.\nAt any time, an EM may exchange three Merit Assets for one other Asset.\nThe Red Roost\nAn EM with 4 or more Assets may spend a Money to shuttle supplies to and develop new technologies for life on Mars. Each Money spent this way, up to a maximum of five, increases the total number of Assets that EM can have by one. This increase is tracked in the GNDT under “MP”, defaults to 0, and can be referred to as “Mars Power” or “MP”.\nSpecial Case Rules can be active or inactive and default to active. The status of a Special Case rule is notated in the title of that rule ending in “[X]” where X is the word Active or Inactive, denoting that Rule’s status. When a new dynasty is started, the Ascension Address may state any existing Special Case Rules that are set to inactive; any Special Case Rules not set in the Ascension Address become Active.\nThe text of Special Case Rules that are inactive shall be interpreted, for the purpose of play, to mean nothing.\nVotable matters have zero or more tags. Tags are added by adding it to the title of a votable matter with the format “[X]” where [X] is the tag, for example “[Core] Wording Fix”. Votable Matters require the [Core] tag in order to make changes to the Core Rules, the [Special Case] tag in order to make changes to the Special Case Rules and the [Appendix] tag in order to make changes to the Appendix Rules. Votable Matters other than DoVs require the [Victory] tag in order to grant victory to an EM.\nAtomic Actions [Active]\nWhen an EM performs an Atomic Action, they must complete all its steps; they must complete them in order; and they may not take any other dynastic action, or achieve victory, until all such steps are complete. All of the steps of an Atomic Action are considered one action, as well as the steps of an Atomic Action that is itself a step of a parent Atomic Action.\nAn Atomic Action may direct the performer to skip some of its steps, which the performer should do and in which case the skipped steps are considered completed for this rule.\nIf one or more steps of an Atomic Action were done incorrectly, the EM must redo the Atomic Action. In redoing an Atomic Action, the EM uses any legal steps that were already completed in the illegal Atomic Action and only redoes the illegal ones.\nIf an EM arrives at a step in an Atomic Action and they cannot perform that step, they undo all the steps that they performed of that action and are never considered to have performed that action.\nFor instance if an Atomic Action consists of rolling a die in the GNDT and then doing steps based upon its result the EM would have to reroll the die if they rolled the wrong one if the first place and any steps that depended upon the result of that die; however if all they did was take an illegal action later on, the die is still used in the redone action.\nFor the purposes of determining the ordering or legality of game actions the time of an Atomic Action shall be the time that it is completed. For Atomic Actions that are redone, the time of completion is the last redone step.\nThis rule cannot be overruled by the Dynastic Rules.\nSeasonal Downtime [Active]\nBlognomic goes into hiatus every year on December 24th, and remains in hiatus until December 27th. During this time no game actions may be taken except those described in the rules entitled “Votable Matters,” “Gamestate Tracking” and “Call for Judgement”.\nIf there are fewer than five EMs, then BlogNomic is Dormant. While BlogNomic is Dormant, actions defined by dynastic rules may not be taken, and proposals may not be submitted.\nNo Orphan Variables [Active]\nAn Orphan Variable is a dynastic gamestate variable which has neither a location in which it’s tracked, nor a manner in which it can be determined from other gamestate variables, specified in the Ruleset.\nAn EM may not take any dynastic actions that are contingent on the specific value of an Orphan Variable.\nImperial Deferentials [Active]\nIf the UNSG has voted DEFERENTIAL on a proposal, that vote is instead considered to be valid and either FOR (if more EMs have voted FOR the proposal than have voted AGAINST it) or AGAINST (in all other cases).\nDynastic Distance [Active]\nFor the purposes of dynastic rules which do not deal with voting, the UNSG is not an EM.\nThe Traitor [Active]\nThe Traitor for a particular dynasty may be an EM (including an idle one), or may be nobody, and it defaults to being nobody. The Traitor’s identity in the current dynasty is tracked privately by the UNSG, and the UNSG should not share this information with EMs other than the Traitor.\nIf there is no Traitor for the current dynasty, the UNSG may secretly randomly select an EM (other than the UNSG) and privately inform them that they are the Traitor for the current dynasty.\nA Traitor is under no obligation to honour any informal promises they have made with other EMs, nor to tell the truth to them, and is encouraged to betray other EMs in order to achieve victory.\nA keyword defined by a rule supersedes the normal English usage of the word. A keyword defined in this glossary supersedes that defined by a rule. (eg. A rule specifying “bananas are blue” cannot be overruled by posting a dictionary definition or a photo of a banana, and a rule specifying “every day is Sunday” will be overruled by the glossary entry below.)\n- “is able to”\n- A blog comment published to the BlogNomic weblog at blognomic.com\n- Core Proposal\n- A Proposal which mandates changes that, even if conditionally, are limited to the creation, deletion, and/or amendment of core rules and/or the glossary, and/or renaming, banning, and/or the granting or removing of admin status from one or more EMs.\n- Daily Action\n- If a game action is a Daily Action, each EM able to perform it may take that action once each day, but not more than once every ten hours.\n- Daily Communal Action\n- A Daily Communal Action is a Daily Action that can only be performed by one EM per day.\n- References to a “day” as an entity rather than as a duration (e.g. “Sunday”, “The day after performing this action”, or “August 2nd”), unless otherwise stated, refer to a day beginning at and including 00:00:00 UTC, ending when the next day begins. It can never be 2 different days at the same instant.\n- References to “YDICEX” refer to Y X-sided dice, rolled within the GNDT. To roll dice, post DICEX in the comments field of the GNDT, replacing X with the number of sides on the die you wish to roll.\n- Dynastic Action\n- an action that is defined in the Dynastic rules.\n- Dynastic Proposal\n- A Proposal which mandates changes that, even if conditionally, are limited to the creation, deletion, and/or amendment of dynastic rules and/or gamestate defined by dynastic rules.\n- Effective Vote Comment (EVC)\n- An EM’s Effective Vote Comment with respect to a given Votable Matter means that EM’s Comment to that Votable Matter, if any, that contains that EM’s Vote on that Votable Matter.\n- Flavour Text\n- When posting a blog entry, an EM may use the “Commentary or flavour text” field of the blog publishing form to add their own comments or description of their post. For the purposes of all other rules, such text is not considered to be part of the post.\n- Any information which the Ruleset regulates the alteration of. All GNDT columns that the Dynastic Rules explicitly mention are assumed to be Gamestate, as are all Wiki Pages that the Dynastic Rules explicitly mention (except for dynastic histories and discussion pages) and any images contained within those Wiki Pages.\n- A blog post published to the BlogNomic weblog at blognomic.com\n- Private Message\n- A message sent via Blognomic’s Private Messages system at blognomic.com.\n- Quorum of a subset of EMs is half the number of EMs in that subset, rounded down, plus one. If the word Quorum is used without qualifying which subset of EMs it is referring to, it is referring to a Quorum of all EMs.\n- If used in a context of a Votable Matter, the word “Resolve” means to perform the act, as an Admin, of enacting or failing a Votable Matter. The world “Resolution” means then the act of doing so. If used in any other context, the meaning of both “Resolve” and “Resolution” is the standard English meaning of these words.\n- Each individually numbered section of the ruleset is a rule, including sections that are sub-rules of other rules.\n- “is required to”\n- “is recommended that”\n- Sibling Rule\n- Two rules are “siblings” of each other if they are both direct subrules of the same rule.\n- The BlogNomic Slack is located at blognomic.slack.com. EMs may request an invite to the Slack while logged in by clicking the button in the sidebar.\n- Slack Channel\n- A Slack Channel is any channel on the BlogNomic Slack. To reference a Slack Channel, use a hash (#) followed by the name of that channel. (For example, #random.)\n- Story Post\n- A Story Post is an entry in the “Story Post” category.\n- The “subject” of a blog entry is the part of the Title of an entry which is after the first colon. If the Title does not contain a colon, then the whole Title is the subject. Any entry whose subject is “” (i.e. an empty string) is not valid.\n- A subrule is a type of rule that is nested within another rule. A proposal that specifically affects a rule affects all of its subrules; a proposal that specifically affects a subrule does not affect its parent rule or any other subrule of that rule, unless they are also explicitly cited as being affected by that proposal.\n- Table of Contents\n- The directory of section headings that is generated by the MediaWiki software for most pages in the wiki.\n- Table of Contents.\n- The word “Vote”, used as a noun, means a Vote that is cast in accordance with Rule “Votable Matters”. The word “Vote”, used as a verb, means the act of casting such a Vote.\n- Voting Icons\n- For use in voting, a check box http://blognomic.com/images/vote/for.gif shall represent a Vote FOR, an X http://blognomic.com/images/vote/against.gif shall represent a Vote AGAINST, a DEF http://blognomic.com/images/vote/imperial.gif shall represent a Vote of DEFERENTIAL, and a crossed-out circle http://blognomic.com/images/vote/seal.gif shall represent a vote to VETO.\n- References to a week as an entity rather than as a duration (e.g. “At the beginning of each week”, or “already happened this week”), unless otherwise stated, refer to a period of time between the beginning of a Monday and the end of the following Sunday.\n- Weekly Action\n- If a game action is a Weekly Action, each EM able to perform it may take that action once each week, but not more than once every twenty-four hours.\n- Weekly Communal Action\n- A Weekly Communal action is a Weekly Action that can only be performed by one EM per week.\n- The BlogNomic Wiki at http://wiki.blognomic.com\nVotable Matters and other official posts, as well as specific gamestate information, shall be tracked by the BlogNomic blog at http://blognomic.com. Any EM may post to the blog at any time, but may only make official posts to the blog when the Ruleset allows it. Posts following the format specified by a rule are considered official posts. Any single official post cannot be of two different types of official post unless a rule explicitly states otherwise.\nAn official post may only be removed as allowed by the Ruleset. An official post may be altered by its author if it is less than two hours old and either no EM has commented on it or (if it is a Votable Matter) if all comments on it contain no voting icons; otherwise this can only be done as allowed by the Ruleset. However, despite this, official posts can never be changed from one category to another, or changed to be a different sort of official post, if they have been posted for more than fifteen minutes. The Admin processing an official post is allowed to append to the post to reflect its new status. Anything appended to a post in this way must be placed in the Admin field of the post, and the post’s Status must be changed to reflect its status. An official blog post that has the status of Enacted or Failed cannot change categories. An official blog post’s status may never be altered except in accordance with the rules that define that official post.\nA non-official post may not, through editing of the blog or otherwise, be changed into an official post, with the following two exceptions: Firstly, whilst a non-official post has been posted for less than fifteen minutes and has no comments, the author may change the categories as they wish. Secondly, if a post by a New EM is not in any category but follows the wording of a Proposal, in that it has written changes the gamestate and or ruleset, and if it has been posted for less than six hours, then any admin may change it to be in the Proposal category. A New EM is defined as an EM who has been an EM for fewer than seven days or an EM that has unidled in the past seven days after being idle for at least 3 months.\nSpecific parts of the Gamestate data shall be tracked by the Generic Nomic Data Tracker at http://blognomic.com/gndt/generic.cgi?nomic=blog. Any EM may update any EM’s data via the GNDT, whenever the Ruleset permits it.\nAll updates to the GNDT are logged. For gamestate which is tracked in a specific place (such as the GNDT or a wiki page), any alteration of that gamestate as a result of an EM’s action is (and can only be) applied by editing that data in that place. One GNDT or wiki update may contain one or more alterations, or one alteration may be split over multiple updates, as long as it is clear what is happening and the alterations are otherwise legal. The GNDT and wiki merely represent the Gamestate, and are not the same thing. In the event that the Gamestate and its representations are different, any EM may correct the representations to comply with the Gamestate.\nIf an EM feels that a representation of the gamestate (such as the GNDT or the wiki) was altered such that it no longer matches the gamestate (such as by performing an action which was against the Rules (as they were at the time of the alteration), or by any other means), they may simply undo the effects of that alteration. Instead of repeatedly reverting and re-reverting a disputed alteration, EMs are encouraged to raise a Call for Judgement instead. EMs shall be assigned a password for the GNDT when they join the Nomic.\nThe GNDT can be used to generate random results.\n- The DICEN command can be used to generate a random number between 1 and N.\n- The FRUIT command will return a random result from the following options: Lemon, Orange, Kiwi, Grape, Cherry, Tangelo.\n- The COLOUR (or COLOR) command will return a random result from the following: White, Red, Green, Silver, Yellow, Turquoise, Magenta, Orange, Purple, Black.\nAny changes to the potential outcomes of the GNDT’s random result commands must be made by proposal; and any proposal that seeks to nominate a change to this rule must first identify an EM with server-level access to the BlogNomic site who is able to perform the changes, and must also update this rule to reflect the new potential outcomes.\nIf a number or other game variable is selected “at random” or “randomly” from a range of possible values, its value shall always be taken from a uniform probability distribution over the entire range of possible values, unless otherwise specified. This value must be determined by an appropriate DICE roll in the GNDT, unless otherwise specified. If a selection is explicitly specified as being “secretly” random, the EM making this determination may do so using a private method of their choosing, instead of the GNDT.\nNumbers and Variables\n- If a set of valid values is not specified in their definition, game variables defined to hold numeric values can hold only non-negative integers. Any action that would set those values below zero is an illegal action unless explicitly otherwise stated in the ruleset.\n- Any situation which would require a roll of DiceX when X is zero or lower always yields a value of 0 unless stated otherwise.\n- All numbers, unless stated otherwise by a rule, are in base ten.\n- Unless otherwise specified, to “spend” or “lose” an amount X of a numeric value “V” means to subtract X from V; to “gain” X of a numeric value “V” means to add X to V; and to “transfer” X of a numeric value “V” from A to B means to subtract X from A’s V and add X to B’s V. Unless otherwise specified, only positive amounts can be spent, lost, gained, or transferred, an EM can spend only their own values, and a rule that allows EMs to transfer a numeric value only allows them to transfer that value from themselves to another EM (of their choice unless otherwise stated).\n- An EM who has a choice in whether to take an action defined by a dynastic rule may not take that action if both of the following conditions are true: a) the action’s effects are limited to changing values tracked in the GNDT and/or similar gamestate-tracking entities (such as a wiki page), and b) the action would change one or more of those values to an illegal value.\n- If a rule implies that the result of any calculation should be an integer (for instance, by attempting to store that result in, or add it to, a gamestate variable that can only hold integers), the result of the calculation is instead the result rounded towards 0.\n- If a game variable has no defined starting value, then that starting value is the nearest legal value to zero that it may take (for numerical variables, defaulting to positive if tied), blank (for a text string or list that may be blank), the alphabetically earliest legal text string it may take (for a text string which may not be blank, with the digits 0 through 9 considered to precede “A”), or the list which is alphabetically earliest from the set of lists with the fewest elements (for lists which may not be blank, and considering each list to be a single unpunctuated text string, with the digits 0 through 9 considered to precede “A”).\n- Invalid values for game variables can never be used, even if the values stored in the GNDT remain valid. (for example, if X appears in a formula referring to a value that is a non-negative integer, X must be used as a non-negative integer)\n- DICEN cannot be rolled in the GNDT if N is 22 or more digits long.\nRules and Proposals\n- If a new rule is created by a proposal and its location is not noted in that proposal, that new rule is to be placed in the Dynastic Rules.\n- If a wiki page becomes gamestate as a result of a proposal enacting, that page shall - unless otherwise specified - be reverted to whatever state it was in at the time of that proposal’s submission (and if the page did not exist at that time, it shall be blanked).\n- Where a Proposal would amend the effects of Proposal Enactment, this does not apply to its own enactment unless explicitly stated (eg. a proposal proposing that enacted proposals earn their author a banana when enacted would not earn a banana for its own author, when enacted).\n- Rules which trigger upon the Resolution of a Votable Matter are the responsibility of the Admin who Resolves it.\n- Unless otherwise specified, a new Dynastic rule shall be placed at the end of the Dynastic Rules.\n- If the admin enacting a proposal reaches a step which cannot be applied immediately (eg. “two days after this proposal enacts, EM A gains 1 point”), that step is ignored for the purposes of enactment. Once a proposal has been enacted, it can have no further direct effect on the gamestate.\n- For the purpose of all rules, time in Blognomic is in UTC.\n- All references to time must be either specific or defined within the ruleset to be considered achievable in the gamestate. Abstract concepts of time (e.g. “dinnertime”, “twilight”) cannot be achieved until they fulfil one of these criteria.\n- Where the month, day and/or year of a calendar date are ambiguous (eg. “04/10/09”), it shall be assumed that the date is in a day/month/year format.\n- An EM may not take more than one dynastic game action at the same time (excluding any actions which have been ongoing for more than three hours).\n- Superficial differences between the spelling of geographic versions of English, e.g, British English, American English and Australian English shall be construed as irrelevant for the purposes of play.\n- The terms “EM” and “Player” are synonyms.\n- Within the ruleset, a word only refers to the name of an EM if it is explicitly stated that it refers to an EM’s name.\n- If a rule would ever have no name, it is instead named “Unnamed Rule”.\n- The names of rules are not themselves rule text and have no effect other than being rule names.\n- Subrules can be referred to by a name which incorporates name of the rule they are a subrule of. Example: a subrule of the rule “Gin” is a “Gin Rule”, however the rule “Gin” is not a “Gin Rule” because it’s not a subrule of the rule “Gin”.\n- When referring to a proposal, the name used in reference to a specific proposal may be simplified by not including braces and any text between the opening and closing braces. i.e. a proposal named “Changes [Core]” could instead be referred to by the name “Changes”.\n- If two parts of the Ruleset contradict each other, precedence shall be construed in the following order:\n- The Appendix has precedence over any Rule;\n- A Dynastic Rule has precedence over a Core Rule, unless that Core Rule explicitly says it can’t be overruled by a Dynastic Rule;\n- If both contradicting parts are Core Rules, or if both of them are Dynastic Rules, the part with more limited scope applies. (e.g. if the rules “EMs may Kick each other” and “EMs may not kick each other on Tuesdays” exist, and it is Tuesday, EMs may not Kick each other.)\n- If two parts with the same scope contradict each other, the negative rule applies. (e.g. with “EMs may Punch a Spaceman on Friday” and “EMs may not Punch Spacemen on Friday”, then EMs may not Punch Spacemen on Friday.)\n- Special Case Rules have equal precedence as Dynastic Rules, unless that Special Case Rule explicitly says it can’t be overruled by a Dynastic Rule.", "domain": "law"}

APPLICABILITY OF THE GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS\nThese General Terms and Conditions that have been made available online by the Seller on www.vektlos.nl govern all offers, orders, agreements and other legal relationships between the Buyer and the Seller with respect to the use of the Website, including the purchase and sale of a Product on or via the Website.\nARTICLE 2. CONCLUSION AND CONTENT OF THE AGREEMENT\nThe presentation and advertising of Products in our Website does not constitute a binding offer to conclude a purchase agreement.\nThe Buyer may select Products from the Seller’s range of goods, particularly clothing, shoes and fashion items in the desired style, colour and size, and place these into a “shopping cart” by clicking on the “add to cart” button.\nAs soon as the Buyer has finished selecting the contents for the shopping cart, they can continue by clicking on the button “proceed”.\n- They are firstly taken to an overview of the goods in the shopping cart with their properties, price and the delivery time.\n- After clicking on the button “proceed”, the Buyer types in their invoice address, and if the delivery address differs from the invoice address, also gives the desired delivery address.\nThe Buyer can then choose between the following payment methods:\n- Credit card: With this payment method the Buyer must enter the corresponding credit card information. By clicking on the “pay” button the Buyer then submits a legally binding order. This “pay” button will only work if the General Terms and Conditions of the Seller have previously been approved by checking the box next to the information concerning these General Terms and Conditions. Before clicking the “pay” button the Buyer can cancel the order at any\n- time, change the contents of the order by removing existing goods from and/or adding new products to the shopping cart, and change the shipping address and payment method. We would point out that, with this payment method, the placing of the binding order and payment take place simultaneously.\n- Immediate bank transfer: with this payment method the Buyer submits a legally binding order by clicking on the “pay” button. This “pay” button will only work if the General Terms and Conditions of the Seller have previously been approved by checking the box next to the information concerning these General Terms and Conditions. Before clicking the “pay” button the Buyer can cancel the order at any time, change the contents of the order by removing existing goods from and/or adding new products to the shopping cart, and change the shipping address and payment method. Once they have clicked on the “pay” button, the Buyer will be redirected to the website of the external provider to make payment.\n- PayPal: with this payment method the Buyer submits a legally binding order by clicking on the “pay” button. This “Buy now” button will only work if the General Terms and Conditions of the Seller have previously been approved by checking the box next to the information concerning these General Terms and Conditions. Before clicking the “pay” button the Buyer can cancel the order at any time, change the contents of the order by removing existing goods from and/or adding new products to the shopping cart, and change the shipping address and payment method. Once they have clicked on the “pay” button, the Buyer will be redirected to the PayPal website to make payment.\nAn agreement only comes into existence once the Seller has accepted the order, either by means of a declaration of acceptance or by delivering the ordered Product. The Seller shall immediately confirm the receipt of the Order which the Buyer has placed via the Website in an e-mail to the Buyer. Such an e-mail does not yet constitute a binding acceptance of the Order unless, besides the confirmation of receipt, it also contains a statement of acceptance.\nThe Seller reserves the right to refuse the Order placed by the Buyer or suspend the Buyers account in the following cases:\n- if the information submitted by the Buyer is false and/or incomplete, or if the Seller can reasonably question its veracity;\n- if due payment by the Seller does not take place immediately after placing the Order by clicking on the button “Buy now”;\n- if the Buyer has already failed to fulfill their payment obligations towards the Seller in the past;\n- if the Buyer has refused to accept and/or failed to collect any orders which they have placed with the Seller in the past;\n- if there is an obvious or processing error in the prices given on the Website; or\n- if the desired delivery address is not located in the Netherlands;\n- if any activity from the Buyers account appears fraudulent or suspicious.\nThe Seller shall notify the Buyer as soon as possible if an Order is not accepted. In such a case, any payments which have already made by the Buyer shall be immediately refunded.\nThe Order, the confirmation of the Order by the Seller, as well as the Data Protection Directive and the Conditions of Use of the Website published on the Website, and these General Terms and Conditions, constitute the entire Agreement between the Buyer and the Seller with regard to the use of the Website and the placing and carrying out of an order.\nAfter the Buyer has clicked on the “Pay” button, thereby placing a legally binding Order, they are taken to a payment page in accordance with their chosen payment method. On that page, the Buyer completes the appropriate fields in order to carry out the payment and then authorises the payment.\nARTICLE 3. DELIVERY METHOD AND DELIVERY DATES\nShipment will be made using a carrier designated by the Seller.\nThe Seller will make delivery in accordance with agreed delivery dates to every extent possible; however, the Buyer acknowledges that the delivery dates are based on the circumstances of which the Seller is aware at the time at which the Agreement is concluded and, insofar as they are dependent on work or services to be provided by third parties, on the information that such third parties provide to the Seller.\nThe risk with respect to any damage to or loss of the Products will be transferred to the Buyer as from the time at which the Products are delivered.\nARTICLE 4. PRICE AND PAYMENT\nThe prices indicated on the Website are denominated in your local currency or in euros, are inclusive of Value Added Tax (VAT) and are exclusive of shipping costs. The return shipping costs are partly borne by the Seller. The total Purchase Price due will be indicated when the Order is placed and when the Agreement is confirmed.\nThe Seller will be entitled to adjust the prices indicated on the Website from time to time without any notice being required. The prices indicated at the time at which the Order is placed will be deemed to be the prices that form part of the Agreement.\nPayment may be made using the methods indicated on the Website and must be made within 14 days after the Product has been delivered.\nThe Buyer is obliged to notify the Seller immediately regarding any errors in the payment details that the Buyer has provided to the Seller.\nIn the event that the Buyer exceeds the term for payment he/she will be in default by operation of law, and the Seller will be entitled to charge statutory interest on the outstanding amount as from the due date.\nARTICLE 5. RIGHT TO RETURN\nThe Buyer will be entitled to return the Product that has been delivered, free of charge, within a term of 30 days after the Product has been received, without stating his/her reason for doing so, in the manner indicated by the Seller, provided that the Product has not been worn (trying on clothing is permitted), is undamaged and (insofar as possible) is in the original and undamaged packaging. The Buyer will not be permitted to exchange the Product for another Product. If the Buyer wishes to purchase another Product, he/she will have to place a new order on the Website.\nARTICLE 6. FORCE MAJEURE\nThe Seller is not liable for any damage as a result of a delay in the delivery or a failure to deliver that has been caused by circumstances that impede the Seller from complying with its obligations, and that cannot be attributed to the Seller because they cannot be blamed on the Seller, and cannot be deemed to be for the Seller’s account in accordance with the law, a legal act or in accordance with generally accepted standards, such as - but not restricted to - war, threat of war, civil war, riots, a day of national mourning announced by the government, strikes, transport problems, trade limitations, problems with customs authorities, fire, flooding, earthquake or the bankruptcy of third parties engaged by the Seller, a failure on the part of the Seller’s suppliers to supply goods or a failure on the part of the Seller’s suppliers to supply goods in a timely manner, interruptions in the supply of goods to be delivered by third parties, including water and electricity, and other serious interruptions in the business operations of the Seller or third parties that it engages.\nIf as a result of a situation involving force majeure the Seller fails to comply with its obligations under the Agreement or fails to do so in a timely manner, the Seller will be entitled to perform the Agreement within a reasonable term or – if compliance within a reasonable term is not possible – to dissolve the Agreement in whole or in part, without the Seller being obliged to pay the Buyer any compensation in that respect.\nARTICLE 7. COMPLAINTS\nThe contact details of the Seller and of the third parties that the Seller has engaged to handle complaints can be found at the bottom of the homepage on the website.\nThe Buyer will be obliged to inspect the Product when it has been delivered and to notify the Seller within a reasonable term in the event that there are any visible defects or other complaints regarding the performance of the Agreement. Such complaints must be submitted in writing and must be fully and clearly substantiated.\nThe Seller will respond to any complaints that it receives within a term of 14 days after receipt. The Seller will notify the Buyer within a term of 14 days in the event that it is foreseeable that the complaint will require a longer term to be processed, stating the term within which the Buyer can expect to receive an answer.\nThe Buyer acknowledges that: minor deviations and deviations that are generally considered acceptable in respect of the quality, size, colour, finishing, etc. of Products cannot be avoided or are difficult to avoid and do not constitute a well founded reason to submit a complaint.

He is one of the world’s foremost experts in the criminal abuse of financial services both on and offshore and is regularly instructed by regulators and governments in sensitive matters involving financial crime and financial regulation. He was co-opted by the World Bank to both the Stolen Asset Recovery Initiative (StAR) and the study analyzing Illicit Financial Flows from Somalian Piracy.\nWhen not practising, Stephen is much sought after as an accomplished speaker. He has trained the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Treasury, numerous US law enforcement agencies, Europol, the Metropolitan Police and several regulatory authorities. He has spoken at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, the Cambridge Economic Crime Symposium, the European Parliament, the UN and the UNODC.\nStephen acts as Senior Consultant for the regulatory investigations specialists, Stephen Platt & Associates LLP.\nCriminal Capital is the first book to examine the role played by the financial services industry in facilitating crime and laundering criminal property by analysing the vulnerability of banks, brokerages, trust companies and investment funds to criminal abuse.\nThe book examines the causal factors that link harmful behaviours in finance including mis-selling, rate fixing, sanctions evasion money laundering and the facilitation of terrorism, drugs, human trafficking, corruption, piracy and tax evasion. It also considers why such behaviours correlate with the excessive risk taking that toppled the global economy in 2008.\nCovering the role of both on and offshore finance centres the book also considers the limitations of the money laundering model relied upon by regulators and the finance industry to identify abusive customer relationships. The book proposes a new model of money laundering prevention.\nThis highly acclaimed and informative book challenges the reader to consider whether following the financial crisis sufficient steps have been taken to address toxic behaviours in finance or whether radical reform is needed.\n“This is a well-researched and powerful book. It should be required reading for compliance professionals in finance as well as policy makers charged with implementing meaningful reform of the banking industry.”\nRobert Mazur, Former U.S. Federal Agent, Author of “The Infiltrator”\n\"A great read for anybody who wants to learn more about how criminals abuse the global financial system\"\nJoseph Pistone - Author of 'Donnie Brasco: My Undercover Life in the Mafia'\nIn Criminal Capital, Stephen Platt lays out in clear and frightening detail, the criminal rot at the core of the international banking system. It brought the global economy to the brink of depression in 2008 and it has not been fixed. Platt, an experienced lawyer gets to the heart of the excessive risk taking and the blind eye to customer crime that allows banks to serve as a circulation system for global corruption. A bold and sobering read.\nEric Lewis - Senior Partner Lewis Baach PLLC and former Counsel to the Liquidators of Madoff International Securities Limited and the Liquidators of the Bank of Credit and Commerce International\n“Few people have both the knowledge and the objective vantage point enjoyed by this author of the worldwide banking system over the last 10 years. Fewer still could describe the prevailing culture within which the crisis developed and what was, and still is, wrong with that culture so accurately and so readably. The culture which created the crises from which we are still recovering is apparently alive and well. It extends to the secretion of criminal money of all kinds including terrorist funding. This book is a \"must read\" for anyone who wants to understand the past the present and the possible future for the world's financial institutions.”\nSir David Calvert Smith – Former Director of Public Prosecutions of England & Wales\n\"Criminal Capital offers a compelling, concerning, and clear view of the ways that financial institutions tacitly enable crime, and challenges both banks and regulators to stop the madness.\"\nCarole Switzer, Co-Founder and President of the Open Compliance and Ethics Group.\n1st December 2014 - International Corruption Conference, New Scotland Yard, London, GB\n15th January 2015 – New York District Attorney’s Department, New York, U.S.\n17th January 2015 – Book Signing, Waterstones, St Helier, Jersey, GB (11am - 2pm)\n19th January 2015 – Book Launch and Signing Event, Savile Club, London, GB (Members and Guests Only)\n23rd January 2015 – Georgetown University, Washington DC, U.S.\n27th January 2015 – Book Launch and Signing Event, Jersey, GB (Members and Guests Only)\n28th January 2015 – Savile Club Talk, London, GB (Members Only)\n29th January 2015 – Royal United Services Institute, Whitehall, London.

As a result of prosecutions taken by the Agency, businesses and individuals were fined almost £2.8m for environmental offences in 2018.\nToby Willison, Chair of the JUWC Board, said: “The war against waste crime just took a giant step forward. The launch of this new unit means we now have a full complement of partners across law enforcement as well as our counterparts in Scotland and Wales to bring down waste criminals for good.\n“We will target serious and organised criminals across the country as they try to illegally exploit the waste industry and the environment. These criminal gangs need to know that we have them in our sights.”\nEnvironment Secretary Theresa Villiers said: “Waste crime is a scourge on our environment and this new Joint Unit for Waste Crime will crack down on the criminals responsible.\n“Criminals are shifting their focus to waste crime as they expand their illegal activities and it’s vital that we take action.

All academy trusts are set up as charitable companies so they too must have members. The first members sign to say they wish to form a company and are signatories to the memorandum of association drawn up when the trust formed. These members will also have agreed the trust’s first articles of association, which include the trust’s charitable objects – i.e. the purpose of the organisation. The members will also be the final stage in the process of changing the articles (see NGA’s guidance on the process for changing articles). The articles describe how the trust will be governed including how many members can be appointed, by whom, and voting rights.\nMembers hold the trust board to account for the effective governance of the trust but have a minimal role in the actual running of the trust. It is the trustee board, not the members, who are the organisation’s key decision makers. However, there are some critical decisions that sit with the members, especially if the trust is failing.\nMembers are essential to the integrity of an academy trust governance structure. They are the last line of defence from failures of governance and failure to uphold the charitable purpose of the organisation. Members must therefore remain informed of trust performance and be clear on how to appropriately interact with the trustee board.\nAcademy trusts are set up as charitable companies limited by guarantee. As limited companies, it is the charity which is liable for its debts, not the people behind it, who are protected by limited liability. As charitable companies do not have shareholders whose liability is limited to the number of shares they have bought, they have members, with the members’ liability limited to the amount of the guarantee set out in the charitable company’s articles. In the case of academy trusts, members’ liability is limited to £10.\nThe DfE compares members to shareholders of a company limited by shares, but this comparison can be unhelpful due to shareholders being due a dividend, while academy trusts are not-for-profit organisations, where members volunteer with no monetary reward. While members are focused on the success of the organisation, success should be measured against the achievement of the charitable object of the organisation.\nWhile members have no day-to-day or week-to-week role in running the company, a key responsibility is the appointment/ removal of trustees. If the trust is not achieving its purpose, the members must consider if this is because the trustees are failing to carry out their three core governance functions. If they conclude that they are not, members need to seriously consider if they need to remove trustees, or if other action is required, such as commissioning an external review of governance.", "domain": "law"}

The Dubai Department of Economic Development takes care of the entire process of company formation in Dubai. There are significant advantages to having a mainland company in Dubai, and here are a few of them.\nMainland companies are not subject to visa restrictions:\nMainland companies in Dubai offer a host of attractive benefits to foreign investors. A mainland company in Dubai is licensed by the Department of Economic Development, allowing it to operate in the local market and export its goods and services around the world. The location of the company in Dubai gives it unique opportunities for entry into the global marketplace and GCC markets. In addition, 100% foreign ownership of a mainland company in Dubai is now possible under an amendment to the Commercial Companies Law.\nMainland companies can choose their office location anywhere in Dubai:\nMainland companies can conduct business in Dubai and the UAE, where they are allowed to operate anywhere they like. This gives them a distinct advantage over free zones, which are restricted to certain areas and specific types of activities. Mainland companies can choose an office location anywhere in the emirates, and can even have multiple branches to create a strong presence across the UAE.\nMainland companies can conduct business without the inference of the local partner:\nSetting up a mainland company in Dubai has several benefits. It does not have a minimum capital requirement and is exempt from corporate taxes. It has the lowest statutory VAT of 5%, among the lowest in the world. It also opens the door for entering the lucrative government sector. A mainland company is exempt from UAE currency restrictions and can apply for several visas.\nIf you want to make a mark in the UAE’s thriving market, setting up a mainland company is the right choice for you. Dubai’s Department of Economic Development (DED) helps entrepreneurs form companies on the mainland, offering numerous benefits and flexibility for entrepreneurs. However, setting up a mainland company requires more work than just forming a company in Dubai. You will need to reserve a trading name, partner with a local sponsor, and apply for all necessary visas and labor cards.", "domain": "law"}

Unlike traditional forms of work experience submission that relied heavily on submitting open-ended work experience demonstrating focus on applying engineering theory and practice experience, PEO's CBA categorically defines the experience requirement into seven (7) core competencies and thirty-four (34) sub-competencies. Regulators design these competencies carefully to cover the depth and breadth of the spectrum of skills and knowledge engineers go through in their careers within Canada. The seven (7) core competencies include:\n- Technical Competencies\n- Communication Competencies\n- Project and Financial Management\n- Team Effectiveness\n- Professional Accountability\n- Social, Economic, Environmental, and Sustainability\n- Personal Continuous Professional Development\nNo Requirements for Canadian Experience:\nAs of July 2023, under the new CBA framework, Ontario's regulatory body has taken a significant step to remove the Canadian engineering experience requirement as part of the mandatory licensing process. The legislative changes are a response to the observation by the industry that the absence of Canadian work experience is often identified as a major obstacle for skilled immigrants in Canada, hindering them from obtaining professional certifications and resuming careers in their trained fields. The CBA framework, enacted by PEO, ensures that geographical borders do not confine the path to licensure by shifting the focus from 'where' you gained your Experience to 'how' that Experience has shaped your competencies and 'what' you bring to the engineering landscape in Canada.\nThe previous legislation mandated all applicants to receive at least 12 months out of 48 months of engineering experience in a Canadian jurisdiction under the supervision of one or more Canadian professional engineers.\nTo safeguard the public interest in light of the lack of Canadian Experience, the PEO incorporated Canadian Environmental Competencies as part of the new CBA framework. These Environmental Competencies are not additional to the 34 competencies. Still, they are carefully embedded within them to best demonstrate knowledge and Experience of Canadian regulations, codes, standards, quality control, safety awareness, professional accountability, and communication. For instance, an engineer with a rich engineering background in managing water treatment projects in a country with a diverse climate and rigid environmental regulations can bring invaluable insights into sustainable water management in Canada's varied climate conditions. In this scenario, the CBA becomes pivotal in ensuring that such international expertise is thoroughly assessed and aligned with Canadian standards and practices, validating the engineer's adaptability, adherence to safety and quality norms, and proficiency in effective communication and accountability within the Canadian engineering landscape. Thus, this approach not only protects the public interest by ensuring compliance with Canadian engineering standards but also welcomes innovative practices and global expertise into the engineering sector in Canada. The picture below lists all thirty-four (34) competencies within seven (7) categories. The competencies with a green leaf demonstrate environmental competency.\nFaster Application Processing Times:\nThese transformational changes have also brought about a significant improvement in application processing times. A striking feature is the introduction of a 6-month time frame within which PEO now processes applications. This is a breath of fresh air compared to the earlier scenario, where applicants were left in limbo with no defined time frame, often enduring long waits that could stretch beyond a year.\nThis new 6-month timeline begins once all application documents are completed and submitted. It's a straightforward, well-defined time frame that brings certainty and transparency to the process. Applicants can now plan better, knowing there's a defined end to the waiting period. It alleviates the anxiety associated with indefinite waiting times and aids in better career planning for internationally trained engineers. They can now have a clearer vision of when to expect their licensing outcomes, allowing them to make informed decisions regarding their employment and settlement plans in Ontario.\nRevocation of Engineers in Training (EIT) Program:\nThe PEO also revoked the EIT Program to align with streamlined application processing times. The newly instituted 6-month application processing time has significantly altered the landscape, making the EIT program less relevant. Previously, the EIT program served as a placeholder for applicant engineers, offering them a structured pathway as they awaited the outcome of their licensure applications. However, with the assurance of a 6-month turnaround time, once all application documents are completed, the necessity for an interim EIT status diminished.\nThe old scenario posed challenges both for employers and engineers. Employers often found themselves in a quandary with EIT title holders on their teams. The lack of a definite timeframe for licensure left employers unsure of the professional growth trajectory of these individuals within their organizations. Conversely, engineers holding the EITs often found themselves in professional limbo, with no clear roadmap towards obtaining their licenses. For example, a major issue that often can be seen is the misalignment between the engineering discipline of an EIT title holder and their actual work discipline. Many held EIT titles in one field while working in another, creating hurdles in meeting licensure requirements. This scenario hindered progress toward licensure and caused workforce misalignment.\nRevoking the EIT program resolved these issues. Now, applicant engineers align better with discipline-specific licensure requirements from the start. The 6-month processing time facilitates a quick transition from application to licensure, removing the prolonged interim EIT status.\nAccess to the Canadian Job Market:\nThe engineering labor market in Canada has been grappling with a shortage of skilled professionals like never before – a challenge intensified by the aging workforce experiencing retirements. Yet many highly competent international engineers faced long waits to fulfill licensure requirements. During this waiting period, financial pressures often compelled them to seek employment in fields unrelated to their engineering expertise, representing a loss of valuable skills to the Canadian engineering labor market.\nThe CBA implementation and swift 6-month processing time collectively are expected to benefit both employers and employee engineers significantly. For employers, this means easier and faster access to a broader talent pool, aiding in filling crucial positions promptly. Internationally trained engineers, on the other hand, gain quicker entry into the Canadian engineering job market, mitigating financial pressures from their underpaid odd jobs. It's worth mentioning that before these adjustments, all applicants were mandated to be supervised by a Canadian P.Eng for a minimum of 12 months. Given the pre-COVID engineering landscape, where remote working was not the norm, this stipulation frequently posed challenges for international engineers residing abroad, hindering their opportunities to engage with Canadian engineering entities. However, the advent of remote working post-COVID, coupled with these regulatory shifts, has created a conducive environment for international engineers outside Canada to collaborate with Canadian companies and pursue their licensure, all without the necessity of physical presence in Canada.\nPotential Immigration Benefits\nThe updated licensing protocol by PEO also opens up enhanced immigration prospects for internationally trained engineers. By allowing remote work experience and removing the Canadian work experience necessity, engineers outside Canada can now gain their engineering license, increasing their chances of receiving formal employment offers from Canadian employers. A formal employment offer is pivotal in the immigration process. As per Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), a valid job offer, especially in a skilled trade occupation, can garner additional Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points, improving the likelihood of being invited to apply for permanent residence.\nIn short, the actions by Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO) mark a pivotal step towards embracing global engineering talent. By simplifying the licensing process and introducing a rapid 6-month processing time, PEO has removed substantial hurdles for internationally trained engineers. These changes fill the skill gap in the Canadian labor market and propel Canada onto a global stage, showcasing it as a welcoming and inclusive hub for engineering expertise. The ripple effects of these reforms extend beyond the engineering realm, enhancing Canada's global competitiveness and setting a remarkable precedent for other regulated professions. Through these transformative measures, Canada is unlocking opportunities for international engineers and fortifying its engineering landscape for a vibrant and innovative future.", "domain": "law"}

Just curious, did you find anything on ancestry.com that helped you write the novel?\nWhen I was researching Nixon and Dovey there was no internet so the vast majority of information came from traveling to North Carolina and the best genealogical sites such as the LDS holdings in Salt Lake. After the Ancestry.com came along I used it mostly to confirm what I pretty much already knew and then to post information about Nixon’s family for others to have. Ancestry.com is a wonderful tool as are the internet search engines.\nWas Baldy Henderson a real person? If not, is he based on an historical character?\nIndeed, the Judge ‘Baldy’ Henderson character was based upon a real person. Not only was he a real person but he was a great lawyer of some fame himself. Archibald ‘Baldy’ Henderson died shortly after defending Nixon Curry in the murder case where Nixon was charged with killing Ben Wilson and it was ‘Baldy’ who argued successfully, as in the book, against a negro testifying against a white man. Although Nixon Curry was considered his most famous case he had many other successful, well known trials. His reputation was impeccable. Like Nixon, there are several articles about Judge Henderson which were written in the early to mid-1800s. In one article his client, having just been acquitted of stealing was asked if he actually did it. He responded something along the lines of “Well, sir. Before my lawyer Mr. Henderson, esquire spoke I surely did think that I was guilty of the charge, but after hearing Mr. Henderson’s summary, I can now can say I am having serious doubts.”\nUpon his death, ‘Baldy’ Henderson was widely acclaimed as one of the finest lawyers ever produced in early America. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall who ruled the US Supreme Court for almost 35 years called Henderson the best attorney ever produced by North Carolina. Henderson argued several cases before Chief Justice Marshall and was said to never have lost a case to that esteemed court. Also Judge Henderson is the only lawyer for which the state organization of lawyers (I don’t remember their title) actually placed a tall monument on his grave with words of praise never since used to describe one of their own members in such an open forum.\nYes, Mr. Hughes, Judge ‘Baldy’ Henderson was a famous and highly regarded lawyer in the Mecklenburg County area. I only hope Nixon and Dovey does him justice.\nYour email address will not be published.

She was found guilty of receiving stolen goods and sentenced to penal transportation to Tasmania.\nThe judge allowed her six children to go with her.\nWhen Ikey heard the news of his wife’s transportation, he decided to leave New York and board a ship for Tasmania under a false name.\nOn arrival in Tasmania, it wasn’t long before some of his old criminal acquaintances recognized him, but as luck would have it, the Governor of the island couldn’t arrest him without a warrant from England.\nEven when the governor wrote to request a warrant, it would be 12 months before it arrived.\nIkey was free to do as he pleased and opened a tobacco store.\nSo that his wife could stay with him, he paid a surety bond to guarantee she wouldn’t leave the island.\nBut the 12 months passed and the warrant for Ikey’s arrest finally arrived.\nAfter another long voyage back to England for his trial at the Old Bailey, he was charged on eight counts of receiving stolen goods, found guilty on two, and shipped back to Tasmania to serve a 14-year sentence.\nThe trial was highly publicized in newspapers and pamphlets and it’s believed Charles Dickens used it as the basis for Fagin’s trial in Oliver Twist (Ch 52).\nJust four years into his sentence, he was granted a ticket of leave on condition that he live at least 20 miles away from the capital city Hobart.\nThis meant that he was essentially free as long as he stayed within the district specified on the ticket.\nEstranged from his wife and family, he would live another 15 years until his death in 1850.\nThe Jewish cemetery in Hobart where he was laid to rest was bulldozed and the land converted to an apartment complex.\nAll signs of his life are long gone, but his story lives on in the writings of Charles Dickens and the character Fagin.", "domain": "law"}

For many families, one of the benefits of enrolling in an exchange health plan is the “Premium Tax Credit,” also known as a premium subsidy. The subsidy is provided to help make the cost of healthcare insurance affordable to individuals and families who meet certain eligibility requirements:\n- You must purchase insurance through a health insurance exchange (e.g., the Marketplace);\n- Your household income must be between 100% and 400% of the federal poverty level (“FPL”).\n- You must not be eligible for “affordable” employer-sponsored coverage, or government-sponsored coverage (like Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP, or TRICARE);\n- You cannot be claimed by another person as a dependent; and\n- You cannot file a “married filing separately” tax return (except in certain domestic violence situations—see IRS Notice 2014-23).\nYour eligibility for the credit, and the amount of the credit you can receive, is determined based on the information you provide when you apply for coverage. If you are eligible, you decide when to receive the credit:\n- Take it now – You can choose to have part or all of your estimated credit paid directly to your insurance company, thus lowering your share of monthly premiums during 2014.\n- Take it later –You can wait until you file your 2014 income tax return (in 2015) to take the credit, which will be a refundable credit on your income tax return.\nIf you qualify for the premium tax credit and choose to take it now, the amount of your credit could change, depending on your actual income for the year. For example, if you took the credit and your income turns out to be more than 400% of FPL, you will have to repay the credit. On the other hand, if you took a reduced credit or no credit initially, but your income turns out to be less than expected, you may receive a refund.\nException: If you enroll in an exchange health plan and it is estimated that your income will be between 100% and 400% of FPL, and you elect to take the tax credit during the year, but at the end of the year it turns out that you earned less than 100% of FPL, you do not need to repay the credit as long as you meet the other eligibility requirements described above.\nWhen you apply for coverage from an exchange, you are asked whether you are eligible for employer-sponsored coverage. If you indicate that you are, you will be prompted to provide the amount of the premium contribution you would need to pay for single coverage. Although it may be tempting to provide false information to be sure you receive the premium discount, the tax credit will be taken away if the information provided is false and, you may be subject to additional tax penalties.\nThe IRS intends to issue regulations to help verify the information provided by individuals. These regulations will establish a process that the IRS will use to verify the coverage availability and affordability through your employer if you apply for subsidized coverage from the exchange.\nReport mid-year changes promptly. If you take the premium tax credit during the year and you experience a major change in income, family size, employment or other factor affecting your eligibility for the credit, you should report such changes immediately to the exchange so that your credit can be adjusted mid-year. Otherwise, you may wind up owing more money on April 15, 2015.\nDon’t forget to file your 2014 tax return. Whether you choose to take the credit during the year, or to claim it on your tax return at the end of the year, you are required to file a 2014 income tax return in order to receive the premium tax credit.\nRe-enroll to receive the credit next year. Re-enrollment is not automatic! In November, you should receive notice of your eligibility to re-enroll. This notice is expected to include questions about your family size and income. You must sign and return the notice within 30 days to find out if you will be eligible for the premium tax credit in the coming year. Then, during the annual open enrollment period (for example, November 15, 2014–January 15, 2015), you can decide whether to re-enroll.\nThoughts or questions on the premium tax credit?

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, LTD can ask if your animal is a service animal, and what task your animal has been trained to perform for you. Your animal must:\n- Be individually trained to do work or perform a task related specifically to your disability;\n- As required by law, be licensed/registered with the city and/or county in which the animal resides as proof of vaccination and ownership. Licensing tags must be available with your animal;\n- Be on a leash, under voice command if your disability prevents the use of a leash, or be in a container (birds, reptiles, amphibians, and rodents must be kept within an enclosed carrier or container);\n- Be under your control so as not to present a threat to the safety of other passengers, services animals, or LTD employees;\n- Lay at your feet or in your lap, but not in the aisle or on the seat;\n- Not act aggressively toward or interact with other people or other animals;\n- Not interfere with the work of other service animals, thereby presenting a threat to the safety of that service animal’s handler; and\n- Be reasonably clean and groomed.\nService Animal Paw Print Program\nLane Transit District also has a voluntary program aimed at easing the boarding process for riders with service animals.\nThe service animal paw print program allows riders to receive a paw print symbol on their rider card. While it is not any form of service animal certification, it shows drivers that the rider has already been asked what task their service animal has been trained to perform, and doesn’t need to be asked again. When getting on the bus, all the rider has to do is show their card for an even faster boarding experience. Anyone with a service animal can come to the downtown Eugene station to learn more about the program or participate.\nOrdinarily, passengers should expect to be asked about the status of their animal and what task it is trained to perform. This can be an inconvenience for frequent riders. The voluntary paw print program benefits both transit riders and bus drivers by minimizing any unnecessary barriers to boarding, while still allowing anyone who chooses to bring their service animal without a rider card.\nThe service animal paw print program began as a pilot project made possible with the support from the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). LTD and ODOT hope this program may become a model for other transit agencies across the nation, and have summarized our experiences in the report below.", "domain": "law"}

How to calculate property taxes in Connecticut? Each town sets its own mill rate which is the multiplier used to determine Property Taxes. To calculate property taxes in Connecticut, you need to know the Assessed Value of the property and the mill rate.\nWhat makes up the Assessed Value?\nThe Assessed value of a property is 70% of the appraised value. The appraised value of the property is the price of the property set by the town. By law, towns must assess properties to 70% of appraised value or fair market value (CGS 12-62a (b)) Usually Town Assessors will determine this by comparing the values of comparable properties and will send an inspector to physically inspect the property. By law, towns are required to revalue properties at least once every 5 years (CGS 12-62b(1)). As an example, there was a recent revaluation in Greenwich and I recently got a visitor from the Town Assessor’s office. The inspector came to conduct an inspection of my property by walking the exterior of my home. As a result, my property was reassessed because the inspector found a discrepancy in the square footage of my house.\nThe appraised value is composed of the Land Value and the Building Improvements. Both of these adds up to total the Appraised value. Then the appraised value is multiplied by 70% and that becomes the assessed value.\nWhat is the Mill Rate?\nMill rates are adjusted every year by the town. Most towns publish their mill rates in May. For example in Greenwich, the Board of Estimate and Taxation sets the mill rate in May of every year which is similar to New Canaan where the Board of Finance sets the mill rate in May.\nA mill represents $1 for every $1000 in assessed property value. For example, Greenwich has a mill rate of 11.369 mills which means a home with a $1,000,000 assessed value has a property tax of $7,500 a year. Every town sets its own Mill rate.\nHere are the 2018 Fiscal Year Mill Rates:\n- Darien 16.16\n- Greenwich 11.369\n- New Canaan 16.669\n- Norwalk 25.682\n- Redding 29.62\n- Ridgefield 27.21\n- Stamford 25.59-26.89\n- Weston 28.91\n- Westport 16.86\n- Wilton 27.7685\nAs you can see, Greenwich has the lowest mill rate while Weston and Redding has one of the highest mill rates in Lower Fairfield County.\nHow to Calculate Property Taxes in Connecticut?\nThis is how to calculate property taxes in Connecticut. First take the 100% appraised value of the property and multiply by 70% to get the assessed value. Then you multiply the assessed value of the property by the mill rate and divide by 1,000. For example, a property with a 100% appraised value of $2,000,000 in Greenwich will have property tax of $15,916.60.\nTake 70% of Appraised Value: $2,000,000 x 0.70= 1,400,000\nMultiply Assessed Value by Mill Rate: $1,400,000 x 11.369= $15,916,600\nDivide by 1000: $15,916,600/1000= $15,916.60\nAs you can see, calculating property taxes in Connecticut is pretty straight forward and definitely not as complicated as computing Westchester property taxes.\nYou may be interested in:", "domain": "law"}

In doing so, I am conscious of the divergent view both within and outside the Council on the rights of individuals based on sexual orientation and gender identity. However, I am certain that none among you will be willing to tolerate serious, systematic violations of human rights against them.\nThe Secretary-General says he didn’t grow up talking about these issues. The same may be true for a number of us here today. Like the Secretary-General, we are in the process of educating ourselves. But it is time to acknowledge that, while we have been talking of other things, terrible violence and discrimination has been perpetrated against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people.\nThis Council stood up for the rights of all when, last June, States from all regions joined together to adopt resolution 17/19 expressing “grave concern at acts of violence and discrimination, in all regions of the world, committed against individuals because of their sexual orientation and gender identity.”\nBy the same resolution, the Council requested me to prepare a study “to document discriminatory laws and practices and acts of violence against individuals based on their sexual orientation and gender identity, in all regions of the world”, and to examine “how international human rights law can be used to end violence and related human rights violations based on sexual orientation and gender identity.”\nThat study, prepared by my Office, is before you today. The study starts by recalling the principles of universality, equality and non-discrimination, and setting out the applicable international standards and the obligations of States under international human rights law. It then describes some forms of violence including killings, rape, torture and other forms of cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment, as well as provisions for asylum for those fleeing persecution on grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity.\nThe study considers discriminatory laws particularly with regard to three areas: laws criminalizing same-sex sexual relations between consenting adults, application of the death penalty, and arbitrary arrest and detention. It goes on to describe some discriminatory practices in areas such as employment; health care and education as well as restrictions on freedom of expression, association and assembly; discriminatory practices in the family and community; and the denial of recognition of relationships and related access to State and other benefits. The study also refers to some of the emerging responses recorded at a national level, and offers some conclusions and recommendations.\nWith regard to its method, the study draws on almost two decades worth of jurisprudence and documented material gathered by United Nations human rights treaty bodies and special rapporteurs. It also integrates findings of regional organizations and data from some national authorities and NGOs.\nWhat emerges from all of the material we gathered is a pattern—a clear pattern of targeted violence and discrimination directed at people because they are, or are perceived to be LGBT. It is a pattern too-long overlooked by many States, and one that this Council has a duty to address.\nLet me touch now, briefly, on the three main areas of focus of our study, starting with violence.\nThe first point to note is that violence against LGBT persons takes place in all regions. Commonly-reported incidents include: targeted killings, violent assaults, and acts of torture, including sexual violence. Official statistics are scarce. Many States lack systems for recording and reporting hate crimes against LGBT people. Others may have systems in place but police officers lack the appropriate training to deal with victims and recognize and properly record the motive for these attacks. We also know that in many cases the victims are reluctant to come forward to report incidents because of lack of trust in law enforcement.\nBut wherever we have figures, they consistently show startlingly high levels of violence and brutality. This is corroborated by reports of many hundreds of individual incidents brought to the attention of special procedures.\nWe have reports of gay men attacked by assailants shouting homophobic insults, left for dead in the street. Lesbians subjected to gang rape, sometimes characterized as so-called “corrective rape”. Transgender persons sexually assaulted and stoned to death, their bodies so disfigured as to be rendered virtually unrecognizable. And we have information on abuse carried out in police and prison cells – including cases of a lesbian couple beaten by police officers and sexually assaulted, and a transgender woman, placed in an all-male prison and raped more than 100 times, sometimes with the complicity of prison officials.\nWhen such incidents are targeted, when they are part of a systematic pattern of violence, as they are in this context, then they constitute a grave human rights challenge to which this Council has a responsibility to respond.\nIn accordance with resolution 17/19, we also, in our study, address discriminatory laws. An immediate area of concern is laws that criminalize individuals on the basis of their sexual orientation or gender identity. At least 76 countries retain laws that either explicitly criminalize same-sex relations between consenting adults, or contain vague prohibitions that are applied in a discriminatory way to prosecute LGBT people.\nThese laws are an anachronism, in many cases a relic of colonial rule. As the Human Rights Committee has confirmed repeatedly, they breach international human rights law, violating rights to privacy and to freedom from discrimination. They also cause enormous, unnecessary suffering, reinforce stigma, fuel violence, and undermine efforts to fight the spread of HIV/AIDS.\nThe study also documents a range of discriminatory practices that affect the ability of individuals to enjoy their human rights in their everyday lives. In the workplace, for example, where employers may fire or refuse to hire or promote someone simply because they are gay or lesbian, and where employee benefits may be subject to discriminatory limitations. In schools, where children as young as eight or nine are subjected to homophobic harassment, intimidation and physical attack. Many of these bullied children become isolated, depressed and drop out of school; some end up committing suicide. And in hospitals and other healthcare facilities, where discriminatory attitudes are also present and where transgender and intersex people are especially poorly served.\nStates often make it difficult for transgender persons to obtain official papers that reflect their preferred gender – without which, many are forced to live on the margins of society, excluded from employment, healthcare, education and other basic rights.\nEven within some families, discrimination runs rife: adolescent children thrown out of home, disowned by their own parents, forced out of school or into psychiatric centres. Girls forced into marriage or pregnancy in an attempt to “cover up” their sexual orientation or, conversely, young women forced to relinquish their children when their sexuality becomes known. Even reports of so-called “honour killings” of gay sons and lesbian daughters.\nAnd when human rights defenders speak out, they too face discriminatory restrictions. NGOs working on LGBT issues have had their offices raided, their licences revoked or refused, requests to hold public meetings and marches rejected.\nI know some will resist what we are saying. They may argue that homosexuality and expressions of transgender identity conflict with local cultural or traditional values, or with religious teachings, or that they run counter to public opinion.\nWe should not dismiss these concerns but listen carefully, focus on the violations, and try to make headway in spite of the difficulties. As always, people are entitled to their opinion. They are free to disapprove of same-sex relationships, for example. They have an absolute right to believe – and to follow in their own lives – whatever religious teachings they choose.\nBut that is as far as it goes. The balance between tradition and culture, on the one hand, and universal human rights, on the other, must be struck in favour of rights. That much is clear from the Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action, which states, and I quote:\n“While the significance of national and regional particularities and various historical, cultural and religious backgrounds must be borne in mind, it is the duty of States, regardless of their political, economic and cultural systems, to promote and protect all human rights and fundamental freedoms.”\nNo personal opinion, no religious belief, no matter how deeply held or widely shared, can ever justify depriving another human being of his or her basic rights. And that is what we are discussing here: depriving certain individuals of their human rights – taking away their right to life and security of person, their rights to privacy, to freedom from arbitrary detention, torture and discrimination, to freedom of expression, association and peaceful assembly.\nThe study before you includes practical recommendations aimed at bringing national laws and practice into line with international standards, while also tackling discriminatory attitudes at the roots. I will restrict myself here to highlighting three proposals for action.\nOne is to improve State responses to homophobic and transphobic violence. Wherever such violence takes place, it should be recorded and reported by trained law enforcement officials. All such incidents warrant thorough investigation and action to prosecute and punish those responsible.\nSecond, States should change discriminatory laws that treat people as criminals on the basis of their sexual orientation or gender identity. In their place, we need new laws that provide adequate legal protection to people at risk of homophobic or transphobic discrimination.\nThird, we should recognize that underlying all of this violence and discrimination is prejudice. We know from experience that you don’t eliminate prejudice by changing the law alone; you must change people’s hearts and minds as well.\nLike millions of other South Africans of my generation, I grew up with prejudice around me. I know that it takes time, patience and persuasion to tackle it. But in the end, my life has taught me that ignorance and bigotry are no match for the power of education. Over time, as people start to talk with one another, they will overcome their discomfort. As they start to focus on facts not fear, prejudice will start to ebb away. States can speed up the process with effective public information campaigns that challenge homophobia and negative stereotypes.\nIt is not easy but we have done it before. The story of the United Nations is a story of progress in the fight against discrimination. It is a story that is incomplete, as we continue to work to make good on the promise enshrined in our Universal Declaration: a world where “all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.”\nToday we all have an opportunity to begin together a new chapter dedicated to ending violence and discrimination against all people, irrespective of their sexual orientation and gender identity. It is an historic moment for this Council and for the United Nations.\nThe report can be accessed at: http://www.ohchr.org/Documents/HRBodies/HRCouncil/RegularSession/Session19/A-HRC-19-41_en.pdf\nFor more information or for media requests please contact Charles Radcliffe (+1 917 325 1292 / firstname.lastname@example.org) or spokesperson Rupert Colville (+41 22 917 9767 / email@example.com ) or press officer Ravina Shamdasani (+ 41 22 917 9310 / firstname.lastname@example.org)", "domain": "law"}

Additional insurance is recommended to cover your personal possessions and for your personal liability in the event of an accident in your home.\nHow do property tax deductions work for cooperative homeowners?\nCo-op housing residents have the same potential tax benefits as other homeowners, including taking their share of the mortgage interest and real estate taxes as a deduction on Schedule A of their 1040 federal income tax return. The deduction can be substantial, but only if your co-op is able to pass the deduction on to its members (complicated rules apply to co-ops with substantial commercial income), and you itemize your deductions on your tax return. If your co-op is able to pass through the deduction, you should receive notification from them of the amount by January 31st of each year. Section 216 is the section of the Internal Revenue Code that allows the pass-though of mortgage interest and real property tax deductions from the cooperative housing corporation to the shareholders. You can find more information about it on the IRS website.\nAm I responsible for capital gains taxes when I sell my membership/share?\nBy act of Congress, co-op shareholders are treated the same as single family homeowners when they sell. If your co-op has been your primary residence for two of the five years prior to selling, the first $250,000 ($500,000 if married) of gain is excluded from federal income tax. You can use the exclusion more than once.\nSimilar to single family homeowners, if, for some reason, you do not meet the residency requirement when you sell (such as having to sell in the first two years of ownership), you should consult your tax advisor because you may be liable for taxes on all or a portion of any capital gain that you realize upon sale. Capital gain is calculated by adding the cost of capital improvements to the original purchase price, then subtracting that adjusted basis from the selling price. Contributions to capital repair reserves are treated as if they were capital improvements, so keep records of information from the co-op each year. Tax laws change frequently and are re-interpreted by IRS and the courts from time to time. Be sure to ask your tax advisor for specifics before buying or selling.\nCan I rent out my unit?\nSome co-ops are generous in allowing subletting. However, most cooperatives severely restrict subletting in order to preserve the owner/occupant character of the community. Co-ops that do allow subletting often have restrictions on the length of time for which you may sublet. Be sure to check what the policy of your co-op is. The policy can usually be found in your occupancy agreement or proprietary lease.\nWhat are my rights and responsibilities as a cooperative member?\nAs a democratic organization that follows the cooperative principles, cooperatives give you a voice in the operation of your co-op. The rights and responsibilities of shareholders are set forth in the various co-op documents including the bylaws, occupancy agreement/proprietary lease, and articles of incorporation. All shareholders are entitled to copies of these documents. You can request the documents from your co-op office or management. If the co-op doesn't have a manager, ask the president or secretary.\nFor more information about Cooperative Housing, visit The National Association of Cooperative Housing at http://www.coophousing.org/", "domain": "law"}

Sustainability challenges, such as climate change, resource depletion and social inequalities, are global challenges that all businesses need to take into account in their activities. Investors and banks are increasingly taking into account how companies address these challenges. In order to assess different companies on the basis of environmental, social and governance factors, the EU has adopted a directive (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive), which regulates and defines standards and guidelines for ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) aspects.\nAs a result, a longer-term and ethical profit maximisation approach can prevail instead of a short-term profit maximisation approach. Companies will demonstrate their commitment to sustainability through annual reporting, which will help to provide stakeholders with transparent and comparable information on companies’ ESG performance.\nWhich companies are affected by the ESG obligation?\nThe scope of the Directive covers large EU companies with an average number of employees of more than 500 in a given financial year (2025 from 2026) and any two of the following three indicators above the thresholds:\n- a balance sheet total of EUR 20 million, or\n- a net turnover of EUR 40 million, or\n- average number of employees during the financial year is 250.\nWhen do companies become subject to the obligation?\nThe aim of the report is for companies to publish information to the public on emerging sustainability risks, opportunities and impacts on people and the environment. It is important that the information reported is consistent with the EU’s sustainability ambitions.\nCompanies not covered by the CSRD are exempted from reporting, but sustainability data reporting is unavoidable for them.\nWhy is it important to collect and report ESG information?\nWell, on one hand, companies subject to the obligation must report on their own suppliers. If suppliers cannot provide relevant data and underlying information, they risk losing partners. On the other hand, in the case of investments and loans, banks and investors will be obliged to take into account the sustainability commitment of companies. To back this up, companies can obtain an ESG rating from rating companies or banks, which they publish and investors, buyers and suppliers can use this rating to decide whether to partner with them.\nMore information about our ESG services:\n- +36 70 613 3842", "domain": "law"}

Keep reading to learn more about how to manage rentals in HOA community homes.\nCan an HOA Restrict Rentals?\nRenting your home in an HOA community is a constitutionally protected right. Historically, courts have upheld this right, but it depends on the laws in individual states.\nHOAs can, and often do, impose rental limitations. Some put a limit on the total number of rentals in the community. Others set up rules requiring homeowners to abide by minimum lease agreements.\nAll HOA communities exist to increase property values for the residents. The best way to do that is to maintain community standards.\nHOA boards put forth rules that apply to the aesthetics of homes, parking, yard sales, pets, fences, holiday decorations, types of vehicles allowed, and more.\nResidents are expected to follow the rules to keep the community looking its best. When homes in the community are listed for rent, there is a concern that the tenants will not abide by the rules.\nRenting a Home in an HOA Community\nWhen renting out your HOA home, there are a few things you can do to support community standards. Let's take a look.\nShare a Copy of the Bylaws\nAs the owner of a property in an HOA community, it's your responsibility to ensure that the renters know the HOA rules and regulations.\nHaving informed tenants will protect your investment and your relationship with the HOA board.\nGrounds for Termination\nEven when tenants know the rules, they sometimes break them, whether inadvertently or on purpose. To keep this from becoming a problem for the community, add a grounds for termination clause in the lease.\nA clause like this will put the HOA board at ease because they'll know that you'll be able to evict the rule breakers.\nThe clause should include a stipulation stating that the tenant will pay any fines associated with the broken rules.\nHOA fees are the owner's responsibility. To ensure that the fees are covered and get to the HOA on time, the homeowner should include the fees in the monthly rent.\nThe HOA uses that money to pay vendors. It also goes toward maintaining community amenities like playgrounds, tennis courts, and pools.\nRentals in HOA Community Neighborhoods\nIs your homeowner's association struggling with handling rentals in HOA community homes? It's a balancing act to keep all homeowners satisfied.\nDo you know who can help with your HOA management needs?

Lee Portrait\nNEW YORK, SATURDAY, APRIL 13,\nEntered according to Act of Congress, in the Year 1861, by Harper & Brothers, in the Clerk's Office of the District Court for the Southern District of New York.\nMRS. GENERAL GAINES.—[FROM A PHOTOGRAPH BY\nTHE GREAT GAINES CASE.\nWE publish herewith a portrait of Mrs. General Gaines, the heroine of the most remarkable lawsuit ever prosecuted in our civil courts. This lady has just won a case which entitles her to a property variously estimated at from ten to fifteen millions of dollars. The circumstances which gave rise to that case constitute a romance stranger than the boldest fancies of novel writers.\nJust sixty years ago a young man,\nhandsome, polished, brave, energetic, who, from some strange whim, had devoted himself to a life of trade among the Indians and French settlers on the Mississippi, spent a winter in the American metropolis of that day—Philadelphia. The young man's name was DANIEL CLARK. He was fond of gayety and social pleasures. In some social haunt he met a French lady of uncommon beauty and rare wit, named ZULIME CARRIER. She was living with a Frenchman named Lagrange, a common adventurer, whether legitimately married to him or not it is now not easy to discover. In 1805 this lady left Lagrange, and went to live with Daniel Clark. The theory accepted by the\nSupreme Court of the United States is that Zulime Carrier was never married to Lagrange, and that she was married, privately, to Daniel Clark. In 1806, at Philadelphia, the only issue of her union with Clark—Myra, the present Mrs. Gaines—was born.\nAfter the birth of this child it would seem that Clark sent Zulime to\nNew Orleans, and prosecuted his amatory career at Philadelphia with the gay freedom of a bachelor. He engaged himself in marriage to the celebrated Miss Caton, who after-ward married the Marquis of Wellesley. He formed other connections, the offspring of which have figured in the Gaines case. After a time Zulime returned to Philadelphia, and claimed her rights as a wife. Clark denied her right to the title, and she was unable to maintain it. She seems herself to have recognized the feebleness of her claim ; for soon afterward she married or accepted the protection of a Dr. Gardette, with whom she lived till his death.\nMeanwhile Daniel Clark grew tired of Capua, and returned to New Orleans. He formed extensive business connections, and being gifted with rare mercantile capacity, made money in every thing he touched. He soon became the leading merchant on the Mississippi. Those were the days when fortunes were made in judicious trading with the Indians. Daniel Clark was one of the wise men who saw the opportunity and turned it to ac-\ncount. When his daughter Myra was yet a child, her father was a rich man, whose wealth was daily increasing.\nIt does not appear that he ever took steps to re-unite his fortunes with those of his much-loved\nZulime. But he certainly took charge of her child Myra, had her properly educated, and testified much affection for her on all occasions.\nIn 1813 Daniel Clark died, leaving an immense fortune, mostly invested in land in New Orleans\nand other cities on the Mississippi. A will was produced, bequeathing his fortune to his mother and to the city of New\nOrleans. The legatees and executors entered into possession. Some thirteen years afterward Myra, his daughter, married a Mr. Whitney, of New Orleans, and set up a claim as heir to the property. Thus the great Gaines suit began. Myra claimed to be the only legitimate daughter of Daniel Clark, and sought to have the above-mentioned will set aside. It was natural that, where so much property was at stake, the claim should be hotly contested. It was so; and Mr. Whitney, Myra's husband, died during the first campaign in the war. His widow —young, beautiful, and as energetic as her father —continued to prosecute the suit. Meeting General Gaines shortly afterward, she married him, and he espoused her cause with warmth. The case was tried and lost at New Orleans : it was carried to the Supreme Bench at\nWashington, and lost there too. In 1852 the hopes of Mrs. Gaines seemed utterly extinguished, and the death of General Gaines appeared to crush out the last ember of expectation.\nBut the lady had an indomitable spirit. After the judgment of 1852 a will was discovered, duly executed by Daniel Clark, certifying that Myra was his only legitimate child, and creating her his sole heir. This will Mrs. Gaines offered for probate, and sued the possessors of her father's property thereupon. In the New Orleans Court the case went against her. She appealed again to Washington ; and after several years of tedious legal proceedings, she obtained a judgment on March 14, 1861, confirming the will, declaring her the only rightful heir of Daniel Clark, and entitling her not only to the whole property left by him, but to the rents of the same during the thirty odd years which had elapsed since she first set up her claim.\nSo the case now stands. The judgment was de-livered by Mr. Justice Wayne, of Georgia, who significantly remarked that the Supreme Court would have their decree carried out in Louisiana. No one knows how far the secession of that State may have impaired the power of the United States Supreme Court within the State limits. Mr. Justice Wayne's diction looks as though the judgment would be acknowledged. If it is, Mrs. General Gaines will soon be the richest woman in America. The portrait which we publish herewith reveals something of the indomitable spirit and energetic will which has enabled this lady to prosecute her case through so many courts, and for so many weary years.\nPOINT ISABEL, TEXAS WITH THE \"DANIEL WEBSTER\" SAILING WITH U.S. TROOPS ON BOARD.—FROM A SKETCH BY A GOVERNMENT DRAUGHTSMAN.

Minister of Social Services Melanie Griffin successfully led the charge for the legislation and commented that, ” the work will just begin”\nThis important piece of legislation is set to influence everything from equalization of opportunities for persons with disabilities, to eliminating discrimination on the basis of disabilities, to providing rights, rehabilitation and habilitation of persons with disabilities and establishing a National Commission for Persons with Disabilities that will ensure that key components of the legislation are met.\n“The passage of this Bill is indeed a dream come true for persons with disabilities, their parents, families, friends, caregivers and advocates because finally the light at the end of the tunnel does not seem far,” Mrs. Griffin said. Fines under the disability legislation cover issues like credit, insurance, concealment, adjustment orders and false information.

You may have had no idea that there were dozens of other business regulations pertaining to your venture. Then, the moment you hired your first employee you entered a whole other world of legal and compliance risk. Not knowing however, is not a successful defense for violations. Hopefully, you were able to work closely with a trusted advisor.\nHere are several suggestions to help minimize and manage business risk:\n- Get educated and get help. Sanctions, fines even criminal penalties can be assessed for violation of any number of laws and regulations governing small and medium sized businesses. Professional compliance support like that available through Insperity, will ensure you understand and remain compliant with these laws.\n- Establish a strong foundation. As I have said so many times, “Good culture is the key to business success”. Establishing a strong and positive culture which values all people, especially employees, will prevent many problems. An emphasis on integrity and commitment to legal and ethical behavior will avert most legal complications.\n- Develop and publish an Employee Handbook. Unheard complaints are at the root of most employee disputes. Your handbook should clearly explain your open door and retribution-free communications processes designed to calm mounting discontent and settle grievances. It should unmistakably define escalation channels and appeals.\n- Require liability management training. Compliance failures often stem from ignorance of HR policies or regulations. Every leader, supervisor and employee should be regularly trained in and reminded of compliant and ethical behavior.\n- Follow sound hiring practices. Avoiding bad hires is essential to creating high performing organizations and steering clear of legal jeopardy. Disrupters and non-performers are difficult to manage. They’re also most likely to file a wrongful termination suit when you have finally had enough. Careful and disciplined hiring methods help avoid this compounding risk.\nNot every employment and business threat can be eliminated, but there are preemptive actions that can be taken. An annual risk assessment is an effective early warning system to identify issues, reduce risks, and minimize exposure.\nFor more information on managing compliance risks, get the book: Paul Sarvadi, (2019) Take Care of Your People, The Enlightened CEO’s Guide to Business Success, ForbesBooks.", "domain": "law"}

I will admit that after spending endless days blogging for others, my blog is not granted the priority it should deserve. After all, I don’t pay myself and, well, money is a scarce commodity lately. Compounding the problem is my perpetual writer’s block. I’m finding myself increasingly challenged by devising poetry topics for my current book which haven’t already been used in the previous five. And titles. With over 400 titled poems, I have to check back through previous books to see if I had already used one I have in mind. Being prolific is, indeed, rife with benefits; however, the flip side is that it is also fraught with shortcomings. And for those who know me, my default setting is pessimistic.\nMy other current literary endeavor is a scathing indictment of the American corrections system, particularly prison privatization and mandatory minimum sentencing policies. Having worked in a private prison for nearly three years (and studying, researching, and writing about the criminal justice system in its entirety for most of my adult life), I witnessed firsthand every reason privatization opponents assert: inmate abuse, poorly trained staff, inadequate staffing levels, an excessive focus on making a profit that overshadows the fundamental purpose of criminal punishment, myriad policy violations, unsafe conditions due to shoddy construction, insufficient rehabilitative programs administered by individuals unqualified to do so, and rampant corruption. Turning over a critical governmental function to private entities whose primary goal is making money turns human beings into commodities to be bought and sold with very little concern over correcting behavior and preparing them for reentry and reintegration as productive and law-abiding members of society.\nI have talked to myriad people who believe that we should simply lock up offenders and throw away the key; however, these individuals fail to appreciate the fact that 90 percent of those incarcerated will eventually return to society and it is the correctional system’s fundamental goal to correct behavior (see what I did there?) Whereas courts punish, prisons are supposed to rehabilitate and reform. Instead, prison administrators—especially in private facilities— do everything in their power to ensure full capacity because that’s how they earn their $1.6 billion annual profits. They don’t care about rehabilitation, ethics, or their own accountability and this is, sadly, blatantly obvious and, ultimately, unacceptable. They would rather settle million dollar lawsuits or pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines for noncompliance than actually do the job they were hired to do. From fudging accreditation reports to lying on inmate misconduct reports to harassing and creating a hostile work environment for those few employees who actually care and who are trying their damnedest to make a difference, prison privatization is the catalyst behind the failure of the contemporary American corrections system. When I was employed in corrections, I was frequently “accused” of being “too pro-inmate.” If helping rehabilitate offenders to further their education, obtain vocational skills so they can find post-incarceration employment, embrace pro-social skills, address mental health and addiction issues, and, ultimately, not recidivate, then I will wear that label proudly and direct my passion for reform into my words. That is, until I am able to do so again through my actions.", "domain": "law"}

I had some nice feedback.\nThis time I would like to address a VERY big tax issue for some people (more than you think) as well as some more privacy/fraud issues.\nThe first topic is Estate Taxes (specifically for those of us in Washington for you clients who live out of state, it might be an interesting read, too.) The following is reprinted with the kind permission of the writer Cynthia Flash, a freelance journalist & The Seattle Times. This article appeared in the August 8, 2004 issue of the paper. The entire article is reprinted here in blue & a different font so you know it is not my work.\nWhat you need to know about Washington state's estate tax\nBy Cynthia Flash\nWhen Barbara Sauerbrey's 91-year-old mother died in February 2002, her estate was worth less than $1 million an amount low enough that the estate would owe no federal estate taxes .\nWhat Sauerbrey didn't realize was that even though Congress had raised the federal estate -tax limit to $1 million, the state of Washington did not follow suit. Its estate tax no longer mirrored the federal estate tax.\nAs a result, Washington 's estate -tax limits are lower than the federal limits, forcing Sauerbrey's mother's estate to pay roughly $33,000 to the state of Washington .\nMany Washington residents like Sauerbrey of Bellevue are unaware that a state of Washington estate tax even exists. There has been so much publicity about the federal government raising the federal estate -tax limits that many assume the state has done the same thing. That did happen in some states, but not in Washington .\n\"Every state is a little different and there are eccentricities in every state,\" said Tom Culbertson, a Spokane lawyer who chairs the Washington State Bar Association Estate and Gift Tax Committee.\nLarge Washington estates are actually paying more in estate taxes now than they did before Congress raised the federal estate -tax limit in 2001.\nAnd all taxable estates are paying more in Washington state than they would in states such as California that have raised the state estate -tax limit to mirror the federal law.\n\"I am troubled by the fact that Washington has backed into an overall increase in estate -tax rates, at least for larger estates,\" said Mike Carrico, an estate -planning lawyer with Riddell Williams in Seattle and president of the Estate Planning Council of Seattle.\nFor example, someone who died in Washington or California in 2001 before the federal estate laws changed would have paid the same estate taxes . However, because Washington 's laws no longer mirror the federal laws and California 's do, there are now vast differences.\nOn a $5 million estate , a Washington resident who dies this year will have to pay about $1.96 million in estate taxes , compared with $1.66 million if they lived in California a difference of about $300,000.\nEstate planning in Washington is different from elsewhere in the country in several other areas including requirements for witnessing wills, setting up health-care powers of attorney and health-care directives, going through probate, setting up charitable gift annuities, and using revocable trusts.\nWhile much hoopla has surrounded the federal government's move to abolish the federal estate tax which is set to completely go away in 2010, but to then come back to 2001 levels in 2011 most people continue to live without a will.\nOnly about 42 percent of adults currently have a will, 5 percent less than in 2000, according to Martindale-Hubbell, the New Jersey-based legal resource firm. Reasons include procrastination, fewer assets and uncertainty about the estate tax.\nIn Washington state, the estates of residents who die without a will generally are distributed according to state law to the closest family members.\nThat means anyone who wants to name a guardian for their minor children, give money to charities or exclude certain relatives from their estate plan must have a will to ensure their wishes are fulfilled.\nWashington 's estate tax\nUnless the Legislature acts, Washington 's tax is frozen in time, forever governed by Washington and federal laws that were in effect on Jan. 1, 2001, Carrico said.\nIts rules now differ substantially from the federal tax laws. In most states, the local estate -tax exemptions have changed to conform to the other federal exemptions.\nBut in Washington , residents with estates of $850,000 or more must pay a Washington tax, even though they can have $1.5 million before owing federal estate taxes . In 2006, the Washington exemption rises to $1 million, which will be $1 million less than the $2 million federal tax exemption. A resident with a $2 million estate in 2006 would owe no federal estate taxes , but would owe the state of Washington $99,600.\nIn addition, Washington 's tax will continue even if the federal tax is ultimately repealed. Thousands of Washington residents including Sauerbrey are included in a class-action lawsuit against the state challenging the state estate tax. A Thurston County Superior Court judge in December ruled that the state estate tax was legal and the state Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case this fall.\nCindy Evans, an estate -tax specialist with the state Department of Revenue, said that when taxpayers call her department after receiving a letter from their lawyers that they should update their wills, she advises them to at least look into it.\n\"We tell them there were some big changes made in 2001 that could result in a potential tax of $66,400 [this year],\" she said.\nThere are some ways to avoid the state tax at least temporarily. Couples in Washington state can write their wills to avoid state estate taxes after the first spouse dies.\nHowever, taxes still will have to be paid when the second spouse dies. Carrico advises residents to check with their lawyers to make sure their wills and estate plans are up to date to make sure they reflect differences between Washington state and federal estate -tax laws.\nHe and other lawyers say they've also seen some Washington residents move out of state to avoid paying state estate laws. Some move to out-of-state vacation homes. One elderly man who knew he was dying even moved to California shortly before his death to save his family from paying estate taxes .\nWhile many people like to go online to fill out a simple will or even buy a form from the office-supply store, it is imperative that wills of Washington state residents be signed before two witnesses.\nHandwritten or computer-generated wills are useless unless they are signed before witnesses. That includes changes to wills, which also must be signed before two witnesses. The only exception is a separate sheet of paper that lists where personal possessions legally called \"tangible personal property\" goes as long as there is a reference to that list in the will.\nWashington state offers individuals a specific \"health care directive\" form they can sign to tell a doctor or the hospital not to intervene medically if they become terminally ill or permanently unconscious.\nHowever, Washington does not have a form to designate a legal representative under a \"health care power of attorney\" a person who would make health-care decisions if you are unable to.\nSuch forms can be obtained from lawyers who are familiar with them.\nThe state attorney general in March filed a lawsuit against a company that sold overpriced living trusts to Washington residents. The lawsuit was filed because the firm was being deceptive and overcharged its customers, most of whom didn't need living trusts.\nLiving trusts often are sold to people who want to avoid probate the legal process required to settle an estate .\nLiving trusts are popular in some states like California where there are mandatory attorney fees that push up the cost of probate. But they are largely unnecessary in Washington state, where \"we have a very simple, consumer-friendly probate system,\" Carrico said.\n\"In Washington , the lawyer gets what the lawyer earns and the family can have those fees reviewed by the judge.\" Some people who should consider living trusts, however, include those who are in a domestic partnership, individuals who own property outside of Washington , or those who want to keep the details of their wills secret.\nPlanning without a will\nAs another alternative to a will, Washington state also offers a \"community property agreement.\" With this one-page agreement that can replace a will, a couple simply records that they own property together and that when one spouse dies, the other receives all of the property and vice versa.\nWith this agreement, individuals can avoid probate altogether. This approach can work well for couples with estates under the state's current estate -tax limit of $850,000 because they don't have to worry about estate -tax planning.\nIn addition, people can do without a will by designating their assets as \"payable on death\" or \"transferable on death\" to named individuals or by setting up securities or bank accounts under a joint tenancy or joint with right of survivorship designation.\nFor real estate , a special \"future interest deed\" can be used to transfer property to the beneficiary upon death. If all of an individual's property is covered by such arrangements, his or her estate might not need a will and would not need to go through probate.\nThe state estate tax may prompt individuals to consider giving to charities through a will or other estate -planning arrangement to cut down on the state tax, said Bill Zook, executive vice president of Planned Giving Services, a Seattle firm that advises charities on estate gifts.\n\"Because there's a lower threshold that applies to the state estate tax, it offers the ability to someone whose estate wouldn't be subject to federal taxes to save on state taxes by putting a charitable bequest in their will,\" he said.\nIn addition, he cautions that in Washington state, charities (excluding certain public universities) must be certified by the state Office of the Insurance Commissioner to offer charitable gift annuities a philanthropic instrument that allows donors to give money or assets to a charity and receive fixed payments from that charity until they die.\nThe bottom line, say those in the estate -planning community, is to take charge and know the laws in Washington state so you are not surprised. \"Get with it, go see your planner, think about it,\" Carrico said. \"It's unpleasant, but you have to do it.\"\nCopyright © 2004 The Seattle Times Company\nMy next topic is Consumer Fraud two types\nI would also like to address credit card fraud. Last month I opened my visa bill and found a $2995 charge from an avionics company in Texas . I happen to know that avionics are the electronic devices used in airplanes & could not remember ever owning a plane! I checked with my wife (maybe she was buying me one) & with Alaska Airlines (maybe they are charging their frequent fliers to maintain the fleet?). Nope to both. It turns out some guy in Singapore had faxed to the company MY visa number (with a wrong expiration date) & ordered some parts. Luckily for the company, they had not shipped the parts yet so they were not out the cost of the equipment & I had visa cancel the transaction. The upshot of this is please verify ALL charges on your account every month (this goes hand in hand with balancing your bank account monthly we won't go there though).\nE-mail fraud is getting more sophisticated. I KNOW we have all received tons of spam (if you can weigh the stuff that is). I had a fishing' spam yesterday from a bank I do not deal with. It was about the bank's changing of various systems & needed me to verify ready for it my social security number, date of birth, mother's maiden name, account numbers (if any), address & phone number. The nerve of some people! The message & the link (I tried it) were very realistic & the logo was authentic. The real giveaway was that I do not deal with this bank & I never have.\nBusiness Opportunity !\nIf any of you need to relocate your business or know of someone who does (or opening a new business), I have a commercial building available for rent. The address is 515 Main St , Edmonds . It is about 800 sq ft & the rent is $1600 per month. It is in the heart of Downtown Edmonds about 75 feet from the fountain. Please call me with any questions.\nRemember to contact me if you have questions about any of these issues or ANY tax questions. I prefer you call now than surprise me next year when it is too late for me to fix any problems that you did not want to bother Chris' with.\n|[Home] [Chris Fleck] [Services] [International] [Contact] [Links] [Newsletter]|\nCopyright 2002 © Chris Fleck - Puget Sound Tax Services", "domain": "law"}

We will walk through some general trends and suggest a hypothesis for why they each emerge.\nWe worked with a dataset from Kaggle that describes arrests made for different criminal activities in Los Angeles, based on time, age, gender, ethnicity, and location. We cleaned the dataset to add any missing values and then selected only the instances that occurred in 2019 for our analysis. It is a robust dataset for us to work with, as an official authority provides it. The only things that add bias to the data are:\n- Under-reporting of certain crimes by the police\n- Crimes that go unreported\nThe Top 5 Crimes in Los Angeles in 2019\nWe created a word cloud to give you a broad view of the most common crimes that happened in Los Angeles in the past few months. A word cloud is a collection of different words used in a document (for us, charge group description) with the size of the word corresponding to its frequency, i.e., the bigger the word, the more likely that crime happened in Los Angeles during January 1st, 2019 to May 4th, 2019.\nBased on the word cloud, we can deduce the top 5 crimes (in order) in LA as:\n- Aggravated assaults\n- Drive under influence (DUI)\nAccording to a 2017 study from PolicyLink and the USC Program for Environment and Regional Equity, with support from the Weingart Foundation, Los Angeles comes seventh in income inequality out of the largest of 150 metro regions. This fact, coupled with our proximity to the southern border and a healthcare system that is not fully equipped to deal and educate the general public about addiction perhaps contributes to drugs and DUIs being in the top 5.\nLarcenies and assaults are also probably common due to similar reasons. We see a concentration of wealth in some regions of Los Angeles (like Bel Air and Beverly Hills) and a vast wealth gap. A more significant wealth gap in a high-earning economy means there is a higher number of people who fall in the edges of the income distribution. With a large low-income population who have an incentive to steal and a high-income population who are not just wealthy but considerably affluent, there would be a higher number of people who would commit larceny. Assaults may happen for a similar reason as cities with a considerable wealth gap also often have larger homeless populations, and Los Angeles is no different.\nLos Angeles is a populous city and a buzzing economy and without the best public transport to support it. As inhabitants are forced to turn towards cars, Los Angeles sees around upwards of 7 million vehicles registered in her county. Traffic making the top 5 is no longer that surprising, and with the sheer volume of drivers on the road at any time, DUIs will tend to increase as well.\nCrime By Age\nCriminal activities center around the ages between 20 and 40 and peak between the years of 35 and 35. While this is to be expected, we still see a considerable amount of crime occurring even after the age of 40, right up to the age of 65 and a relatively low number between the ages of 15 and 20, perhaps saying something about the teenage criminal stereotype.\nTo better analyze the relationship between crime and age, we factor the ages into different groups and examine which crimes are more common for specific age groups. Here, we used the following age groups\n- teenager (10–18)\n- young adult (19–35)\n- middle age (36–55)\n- elderly (56 above)\nWe can still find that people between the ages of 19 and 35 commit much more crimes than other age groups. Miscellaneous offenses include public intoxication, disorderly conduct, etc. are the most common for all the age groups. However, compared to other age groups, young adults and middle-aged people are most likely to drive under the influence (of alcohol or other drugs) and violate narcotic drug laws. Middle age and older adults are more likely to be involved in drunkenness and violate the liquor laws while teenagers and young adults do not.\nCrime By Gender\nIf we visualize the frequency of crime based on gender, we find that men commit more crimes than women do.\nWe can then examine the types of crimes by gender.\nSince in general crime is associated with men, it is standard for women to have a smaller proportion of the crime share as opposed to men. However, we can see three notable disparities:\n- Most traffic violations are committed by men\n- Most weapons are carried by men\n- Most prostitution is committed by women.\nWhile #2 and #3 may not be very surprising, #1 points against the stereotype that women are not good drivers.\nCrime By Day\nAnother pertinent question about crime is about its frequency given a certain period. When is a crime most likely to happen?\nWe can see above that there is a noticeable peak in April and the number of instances inch higher than the months earlier in the year (the sharp drop in May represents the current date, with no data on recorded cases available yet). The trend of crime rate increasing as summer approaches is quite common. People tend to go out more in the summer, and there is an influx of tourists and people who travel during the summer, both resulting in higher instances of crime.\nCrime By Area\nWe can also visualize the frequency of crime according to the different areas of Los Angeles. We see very high instances of offenses in Central LA and a significantly lower number in West LA. It might have something to do with income distribution in the areas.\nWe also map the crime. In this section, we will just focus on the top crimes “Narcotic Drug Laws violation”, “aggravated assaults”, and “drive under influence (DUI)”.\nFrom this geo plot, Narcotic Drug Law violations are more likely to happen in Downtown Los Angeles.\nDrive under influence (DUI) violations are most likely to happen in USC, downtown LA, and southern LA.\nAggravated Assault violations are more likely to happen in downtown LA and MacArthur Park.\nIt is reasonable to find that most crimes happen in downtown Los Angeles, which is why the downtown area has been recognized as one of the most dangerous places in Los Angeles for a long time. College students are more likely to get involved in driving under the influence (DUI) instances as that is a tendency supported by a college lifestyle of partying and drinking. MacArthur Park (west of downtown Los Angeles), once a gem of the city’s park system, has changed a lot since the early 1970s. Nowadays, it is one of the city’s most densely populated areas and consists mostly of low-income families. With poverty comes crime. Thus, it is also reasonable to find that aggravated assault is more likely to happen in both downtown LA and MacArthur Park areas.\nFor the most part, crime in Los Angeles tends to be related to substance abuse (drugs, alcohol), traffic (general violations and DUIs), assault, and larceny. Factors that influence this crime are typical to urban metropolises with a large population and an enormous wealth gap. An element unique to Los Angeles is its proximity to the southern border, and criminal activities tend to increase during the summer months.\nIn general, the issue of crime can be better tackled in LA by having a better public transportation system and having a better healthcare system that provides education and remedial care.", "domain": "law"}

The purpose of this document is to acquaint you (the persons concerned) with your rights and to provide clear information on how personal data will be handled.\nII. Data operator\nI am Zuzana Masárová (hereinafter referred to as the “Operator/We/I”) who runs the webpage growtrails.com. The contact e-mail is: hello”at”growtrails”dot”com.\nWe process your personal data as an operator, i.e., we determine how personal data will be processed and for what purpose, for how long and we select any other intermediaries who will assist us with the processing.\nWe declare that, as the operator of your personal data, we fulfill all legal obligations required by the applicable legislation, in particular the Personal Data Protection Act and the GDPR, and therefore that:\n- we will process your personal data only on the basis of a valid legal reason, in particular a legitimate interest, performance of the contract, legal obligation or granted consent,\n- we fulfill according to Article 13 of the GDPR the information obligation even before the start of the processing of personal data,\n- we will enable and support you in exercising your rights under the Personal Data Protection Act and the GDPR.\nIII. What personal data do we process and how do we obtain it?\nWe process data that you yourself provide to us. In most cases, it will be providing data to us by filling out one of the forms on our website. Personal data then travels to an electronic database, to an application for preparing and sending e-mails. Thanks to the database we will ensure that you will only receive from us the e-mails and electronic products (e-books, possibly online or video courses) that you want.\nNext, your data will reach us also if you enter it in an established user account on our website or elsewhere in a closed member section of one of the online products or in the Facebook group. In those exceptional cases, the data will be provided via personal contact, by telephone, e-mail or other means of communication (SMS messages, messages in applications such as Skype, Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp, Viber, etc.).\nIf we have to have your consent for the processing of certain personal data for specific processing purposes, then we process such data for that purpose only with your consent.\nPersonal data we process:\nName, surname, address, ID/VAT number (only if you order as an entrepreneur), e-mail, telephone number, IP address, cookies, information about ordered and purchased products and services.\nIV. For what purposes do we process personal data, for how long and what entitles us to do so (legal basis of processing)?\nA. Processing personal data for the purpose of concluding a contract and fulfilling contractual obligations.\nIn order to be able to conclude a contract with you and deliver the products or services ordered by you and to maintain the related communication with you, we process the following personal data: name, surname, address, ID/VAT number (only if you order as an entrepreneur), e-mail, information about ordered and purchased products and services.\nThe right to process this data comes directly from the fulfillment of contractual obligations under the contract concluded between us. Note that it does not have to be a contract concluded in the classic printed form, signed by hand. It will usually be a contract concluded by filling in and sending the order form on our website and by our confirmation of such an order.\nWe process personal data for the purpose of concluding and fulfilling the contract for the duration of the contractual relationship between us. Upon termination of the contractual relationship, certain data is then retained for the purpose of fulfilling legal obligations or for the purposes of a legitimate interest, as you will read in the following sections of this document.\nB. Processing personal data for the fulfillment of obligations from accounting, tax and other legal regulations\nIn order to fulfill the obligations arising from valid legal regulations, especially in the field of accounting, tax law and archiving, we process the following data: name, surname, address, ID/VAT number and data on the purchased product / service (i.e., the data stated on invoices).\nThe period for which the data are collected is determined by legal regulations that impose on us the obligation to process the data.\nC. Processing personal data for the purposes of our legitimate interests\nA legitimate interest can cover a wide range of situations. Therefore, we inform you of the legitimate interests for which we process personal data:\n- A legitimate interest is the protection and proof of our rights and legal claims, in particular from concluded contracts or caused damage. For these purposes, we process personal data for a period of 4 years after the termination of the contractual cooperation or our last contact, if the contract has not been concluded. This period is determined with regard to the limitation periods of the claim, taking into account the fact that we do not have to find out about a possible claim in court immediately at the moment of its exercise by the other party. For these purposes, data from contracts and our mutual communication are stored.\n- Direct marketing also counts as legitimate interest, i.e., informing about various news, promotions, products or other facts related to the business of the operator. We may also process your personal data (name, e-mail, what you click on in the e-mail, and similar e-mail statistics) in order to provide information about goods or services that may be of interest to you. In the event that a contractual relationship has been established between us, we may, on the basis of our legitimate interest contact you by e-mail, or SMS with information about goods and services similar to those that were the subject of our previous sale or sale negotiations, unless you have previously refused such use of data. We will not share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes without your prior explicit consent. We will process the following personal data of our clients for sending business announcements: name, surname, address, e-mail. You can always easily stop receiving business notifications to your e-mail by clicking on the link provided in the e-mail. If in order to send out our offers or news information we used the classic printed postal form or a telephone call or one of the communication applications such as skype, or messenger, we will respect it here as well if you let us know that you no longer wish another contact. For the purpose of direct marketing, we will process your personal data for as long as we offer our services, or until you unsubscribe.\n- In order to be able to offer you tailor-made products and services and send you only such offers and information that will not unnecessarily overwhelm you and will be of benefit to you, we have our database of contacts and personal data divided into several lists. For example, if you want to receive information about our news, your e-mail address will automatically be included in the “newsletter” database. Likewise, when you send us an order from the website, your contact will be included in the “ordered” list and after payment in the “paid” list, at which time the system will automatically send you the ordered electronic product. Part of this automated processing thus serves directly to fulfill our contractual obligations, part is used for routine marketing (i.e., falls into the category of legitimate interest). If this “sorting” of data was done on a large, very “specialized” scale, then we could only do it with your consent (and you can then revoke it at any time, as described later in this document).\nD. Processing personal data based on your consent for marketing purposes\nIf you are not yet our customer, we will send you our offer of services and products, information about new articles and other similar announcements only if you give us your consent (by clicking the button on the web form or the respective link in the e-mail).\nOnly with your consent do we process (publish for the purpose of presenting our services and products) the data written in your references (or the data spoken if the reference takes the form of a call or video), as well as photos and videos from live events organized by us.\nBefore you give us your consent, we will always inform you of the data and the specific purpose of the processing to which your consent would relate. Unless explicitly stated otherwise in the given consent, you grant it for as long as we offer our services.\nAdvanced consent marketing: only with your consent we can send you inspiring offers from third parties or to use your email address for example for remarketing and targeting ads on Facebook, for a period of 4 years from granting the consent.\nYou can revoke your consent at any time. If we also process some of your personal data on the basis of another legal title (see letters A to C above), we will process personal data for these purposes even after revoking your consent, as consent for such specific purposes is not required.\nV. Personal data security and protection\nWe protect personal data to the maximum extent possible using modern technologies that correspond to the level of current technical development. We protect them as if they were our own. We have taken and maintain all possible (currently known) technical and organizational measures that prevent the misuse, damage or destruction of your personal data.\nWe process data exclusively in the European Union or in countries that provide an adequate level of protection based on the decision of the European Commission.\nVI. Disclosure of personal data to other persons (recipients of personal data)\nOther persons who are in the position of intermediaries or coworkers help us to secure some of our contracts or legal obligations. These include, in particular, the accountant, the administrative assistance, the providers of data storage and software applications and, in the case of the sending of a book or other physical products, also the contract carrier. We enter into written agreements with intermediaries in which it is agreed to fulfill the obligations in the field of personal data protection in order to keep your data secure.\nPersonal data may be shared with state and / or law enforcement authorities if required by applicable law or if the protection of our legitimate interests (including the legitimate interests of third parties) so requires in accordance with applicable law.\nCurrently, to provide specific processing operations that we cannot provide on our own, we use the services and applications of intermediaries who can protect data better than we do and specialize in the processing.\nIt is possible that in the future we will decide to use other applications, or intermediaries, to facilitate and improve processing. However, we promise you that in such a case we will place at least the same demands on intermediaries for the security and quality of processing as on ourselves.\nVII. Information about your other privacy rights\nA. Right of access to personal data\nThis is the right to confirm whether we process your personal data and, if so, to access this data and information about its processing.\nB. Right to correct personal data\nThis is your right at us correcting inaccurate personal data related to you without undue delay. Considering the purposes of the processing, you have the right to supplement incomplete personal data, including by providing an additional statement (in which you provide the data completely).\nC. Right to erase personal data (right to “be forgotten”)\nIn cases provided by law or the GDPR, you have the right to request that we delete your personal data without undue delay (in the GDPR, the reasons are set out in Article 17, including the exceptions where the deletion will not take place).\nD. Right to restrict processing\nIn the cases set out in Article 18 of the GDPR, you have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data.\nE. Right to data portability\nUnder the conditions set out in Article 20 of the GDPR, you have the right to obtain your personal data and transfer them to another operator. If technically feasible, you have the right to request a transfer directly to another operator.\nF. Right to object to processing\nIn cases where we process personal data for legitimate interests, you have the right to object to such processing and then we will no longer process the data unless our legitimate interest outweighs your interests or your rights and freedoms. If direct marketing is the legitimate interest, then raising an objection always results in the termination of further data processing for direct marketing purposes.\nG. Right to lodge a complaint with the authority\nIf you believe that your rights in the field of personal data protection are being violated, you have the right to file a complaint with the Office for Personal Data Protection. In such a case we would appreciate if you can first inform us of your intention so that we can correct any potential mistakes.\nUnsubscribing from newsletters and business messages\nWe send you inspirational e-mails, articles or products and services if you are our customer based on our legitimate interest.

When insurance is sold through an agent or broker, the policy premium includes a commission to the seller.\nThe best way to buy insurance is through an independent broker that sells the products of a number of companies. This assures that you are getting more than one perspective on the products that are available. If an insurance company sells directly and through agents or brokers, the premiums will be the same no matter which way the product is purchased.\nWhat Insurance Should One Have?\nThere are many insurance products available. Health Care Professionals should consider these products:\n- Medical Malpractice Insurance\n- Property & General Liability\n- Workers Compensation\n- Medicare and Medicaid Fraud and Abuse\nWhat is Medical Malpractice Insurance?\nThis product, often called Medical Professional Liability Insurance, is a must for every health care professional.\nEven the most competent professional can make a mistake and should protect against that possibility. Even Professionals who make no mistakes can be sued. Defending a malpractice lawsuit is often expensive even when the defendant wins. The costs include legal fees, expert witness fees, other expenses and, if a case is lost or settled, the payment. Health care professionals win most malpractice lawsuits, but the legal system rarely allows for the recovery of expenses by the winner. Since the cost of defense is high and a loss can be devastating, this insurance product is essential to every practice.\nWhat is Covered by Medical Malpractice Insurance Policies?\nMedical malpractice insurance insures against claims of medical negligence. Most policies also cover your conduct as a member of a peer review panel. This feature protects against lawsuits claiming that an adverse peer review decision made by the insured was inappropriate and caused a loss of income. Some policies provide a dollar amount available to the insured if a lawyer is needed to defend against licensing or peer review proceedings.\nWho is Covered?\nMedical malpractice insurance coverage should be obtained for yourself, your entity (corporation, Limited Liability Corporation, Partnership, etc.) and your employees.\nCoverage is needed for yourself because you are rendering the professional services. If you have a corporation or other entity, it can usually be reached in a malpractice suit because employers are held liable for the acts of their employees. It is important to protect the entity because it holds your business assets such as equipment and accounts receivable. It is important to cover your employees or to require that they maintain their own coverage to assure that their assets are protected.\nIn solo practice situations, insurance companies generally offer entity coverage sharing policy limits with the health care professional at no extra charge. If there is more than one health care professional in a group, coverage for the entity is usually given its own policy limits and the premium charge is usually about 10% of what all of the insureds in the group are paying.\nOn physician policies, employee coverage is usually available for nurses and other staff, sharing limits with the employer at no additional premium. However, some employees such as Midwives, Physician Assistants, Nurse Practitioners, and Certified Nurse Anesthetists require individual coverage at an additional premium. Any application completed for Malpractice insurance coverage should detail your employees and you should determine if all you employees are covered.\nAre there Exclusions?\nAll policies contain exclusions detailing conduct that is not covered. Typically, policies exclude coverage of illegal conduct, sexual improprieties, items misrepresented on the application for insurance, hospital or laboratory administration and records alteration.\nWhen completing an application for insurance, it is important to give as complete answers as is possible. It is important to give an insurance company all of the information it needs to underwrite your practice. Insurers rarely verify the information on the application with outside sources. They do not have to because misrepresentations can void the policy.\nWhat are Policy Limits?\nPolicies specify the most that will be paid for any one claim, the “individual limit,” and the most that will be paid in any policy year for all claims, the “aggregate limit.” For example a policy with limits of $1,000,000/$3,000,000 will provide a maximum of $1M per claim and $3M for all claims during a policy term. The limits that are needed should be discussed with the insurer or your representative. In some states, insureds carry limits are low as $100,000/$300,000. The limits generally taken across the country are $1,000,000/$3,000,000.\nWhat are Claims Made and Occurrence Policies?\nThere are two basic policy forms offered by medical malpractice insurance companies, claims made and occurrence.\nOccurrence coverage is the most desirable form of coverage, but it is not available in all states. An occurrence policy is complete when you purchase it and on cancellation continues to provide coverage for future claims based on conduct that took place during that policy term. The limits that are available to pay a claim are the limits that were in place during that policy term that the service was rendered. Premiums for this product are level except to the extent that a company may increase or decrease premiums over time.\nClaims made policies provide coverage only so long as the insured continues to pay premiums for the initial policy and any subsequent renewals. If one is insured by a claims made policy for five years and stops paying premiums, coverage ceases for any cases that the company did not accept during the policy term. To lock in coverage forever under this policy form, an insured must purchase an Extended Reporting Endorsement (called a “tail”). This endorsement allows an insured to continue to report claims after the policy is cancelled. Tail premiums usually range from 100% to 500% of the mature premium (see below) and the premium is usually due as a single payment shortly after cancellation of a policy.\nHowever, one can move between claims made insurers without purchasing a tail. If a professional desires to change insurance companies, often the new insurer will take over the predecessor insurance company’s responsibilities by writing its policy retroactively over the previous insurer. It picks up the retroactive date, the first date of coverage, offered by the previous insurer and charges a premium based on the number of previous years of coverage needed. Claims made policies have premiums that increase annually usually over a period of five years; the fifth-year premium is referred to as the “mature premium.” When writing retroactive coverage, the new insurer’s premium usually does not exceed its mature premium for this specialty.\nMany medical malpractice insurance companies offer a free tail if an insured dies, is totally disabled or retires from practice after five years of coverage with that company at a minimum age of 55. If this feature is not included in your policy, you ultimately need to purchase a tail to maintain indefinite coverage after you stop working. Moving from one claims made insurer to another may be difficult for health care professionals relocating to a new state because many malpractice insurers are regional and do not want to assume retroactive coverage out of its geographic area.\n(For more on claims made vs. occurrence coverage, see our blog entry “Claims Made Vs. Occurrence Medical Malpractice Insurance Policies” on our blog www.MedMalInsuranceBlog.com)\nWhat Else Do I Need to Know About Claims Made Policies?\nIn a claims made policy, the limits that apply to a claim are the limits that are in place at the time the claim is made not at the time the services were rendered.\nAn insured who has switched from one claims made insurer to another must be able to determine which company is responsible for a claim. Claims made polices come in two forms, “incident” or “demand” reporting. In the better form, incident reporting, a claims made insurer is responsible for any incident reported to it during the time that its insurance is in force, even if it does not ripen into a claim until after the policy is cancelled. In this policy form, if an insured has a bad outcome and reports it to the insurer, the company is responsible for any claim that is ultimately made on that incident. In the demand reporting form, the company does not accept as its responsibility anything but claims made during the policy term. A bad outcome is not its responsibility unless it ripens into a claim during its policy term. This inferior product can significantly affect an insured’s ability to change from one insurer to another if there has been a bad outcome that may lead to a claim because insurance companies are not likely to provide coverage to an applicant if they must also pick up a potential lawsuit as part of the package. In this setting the insured is almost always forced to purchase an expensive “tail” endorsement before switching insurers or to stay with the current insurer until a claim is made.\nAre There Other Considerations When Selecting An Insurer?\nIt is important to select an insurer that has the financial strength to survive for the long term. Always ask for a company’s financial rating. There are a number of rating services. The oldest is A. M. Best and Company. Your insurer should have an A. M. Best rating of at least “A-.” This is the range occupied by most solid malpractice insurers, but by itself is not enough to make a decision. Determine how long the insurer has been in business and particularly how long it has been operating in your state. Compare its premium to those of its competitors and obtain a satisfactory explanation if it is too much lower that its competition.\nProfessionals newly entering private practice often have “new practitioner” discounts available to them. These discounts may vary between companies. Also, many companies offer discounts to professionals who work part-time, have taken a risk management course or have been claims free for a number of years. Make sure to inquire about these discounts if you think you may qualify.\nWhat Else Should I Consider?\nThis summary of medical malpractice insurance provides an overview of this complicated product. There are many variations. Some companies offer hybrid versions of claims made and occurrence policies. Exclusions vary from company to company. It is important to read your policy and understand its terms. If you are switching insurers make sure the new policy correctly picks up retroactive coverage from the previous insurer. The importance of understanding your coverage cannot be understated.\nWhat are Property & General Liability Policies?\nProperty and General Liability coverage is essential office coverage. It provides broad protection at a very low cost. Most offices with up to $100,000 in equipment and supplies will be able to obtain this coverage at an annual premium of $500 or less.\nThis policy protects against many types of damage to or theft of equipment, money, supplies and office improvements. It can also cover against employee dishonesty, losses from accounts receivables that cannot be reconstructed after such things as fire or other damage, and losses to computers resulting from power surges, lightning and the like. One of the most important coverages offered in these policies is “business interruption” which, in better policies, will cover business downtime after a covered loss of use of the office premises by providing funds to maintain ongoing expenses and match the profits of the practice for up to one year.\nThis policy also covers injuries that occur to others while they are on your premises and protects you against claims of liable and slander. Generally, umbrella coverage can be added to this policy at a low cost to increase the limits of liability covered under this and other polices such as Workers Compensation coverage (but not for Malpractice coverage).\nWhat is Workers Compensation Coverage?\nWorkers Compensation coverage is usually required by law. It provides protection to employees for on the job injuries. By maintaining this coverage, employers are usually relieved of any liability for such injuries.\nThe premium for this coverage is based on the office’s total payroll. The laws often allow employers of small business to exclude the owners from coverage. Thus, you can reduce your premium, by excluding coverage for yourself. However, before excluding yourself, assure that your health insurance policy does not exclude job related injuries and illnesses. Also, you may wish to consider maintaining this coverage for yourself if you are exposed to significant hazards in your practice.\nWhat is Medicare and Medicaid Fraud and Abuse Coverage?\nThe Federal government has stepped up its enforcement of Medicare and Medicaid Fraud and Abuse laws. These laws govern billing the government for procedures under these programs. Billing in excess of what the government considers acceptable can result in significant penalties. Moreover, a government investigation under these rules can be costly even if a physician has fully complied with the rules and as with malpractice, the cost of defense of an investigation can be exorbitant. While this coverage does not rise to the level of “required,” it should be considered by every practice, particularly high volume practices, to cover the costs of legal fees and fines.\nAs with any overview, this insurance information is general and intended to help you make informed decisions. The actual policies available in your state may contain features not discussed above. An insurance policy is a contract between you and an insurance company. You should read and understand any policy that you purchase. If you have any questions, have the company or insurance broker or agent take as much time as you need to explain policy terms to your satisfaction.", "domain": "law"}

The term originated in parts of England and Wales and later began to be used by many others too. People often ask, what is the difference between an attorney and a lawyer?\nThough these two terms are often used to imply the same thing, there is a subtle difference in between them. Lawyers simply refer to the people who are trained in law. They might not be trained or authorised to provide legal guidance to anybody. Attorneys, who are basically lawyers, are practically trained to practice law in a jurisdiction and have passed an exam for the same.\nSo, it can be said that “all attorneys are lawyers but all lawyers are not attorneys”.\nAssociation of lawyers is something which you will find in many countries nowadays. These associations can be non-profit ones with welfare policies or can even be a body or association from where it is possible to get lawyers for fighting cases or seeking legal help. These bodies are usually formed on the basis of the expertise that these lawyers have. While some of them are formed of lawyers specialised to handle criminal cases, others may deal with civil ones. These associations thus act as the resource pools of lawyers and if you do not know whom to approach to seek legal help in case of a legal case, you may appoint from here. On the other hand, associations with welfare schemes such as child welfare or wildlife conservation are also prevalent in many jurisdictions. These are not meant for finding lawyers for consultancy but a group of like-minded lawyers who aim at contributing towards the society.

I wanted to be a passionate teacher who shared his insights and love for economic processes. I even obtained my first-degree teaching qualification. But things turned out differently.\nIn 1984 I became a State Auditor at the Tax and Customs Administration, where I worked for seven years. I learned to passionately describe facts in the context of a circumstance, within a relevant legal framework. In fact, I still do that in most of my assignments to this day.\nI learned a lot at the Tax and Customs Administration. We were the first to learn to see the taxpayer as a customer, although said taxpayer may not have been quite ready for that yet. I still do not see a person involved in an investigation as my opponent, but as a person or legal entity in which I have an interest, who must be able to make his case properly and must be protected in his rights. Only then can a sense of justice be created, which is so important to avoid inequalities.\nAfter a period of 4 years as a tax consultant at Loyens & Volkmaars, I joined KPMG in 1995 as a chartered accountant in the forensic accounting profession. At that time, fact-finding was usually aimed at establishing unlawfulness. I learned a lot about fraud and integrity and what motivates people to give a false impression with the intention of obtaining an undue advantage. Yet this is not the essence of the profession of forensic accountant; the interpretation belongs in the legal domain and not in that of the fact-finding investigator, who, moreover, is rarely a behavioural scientist.\nNowadays, having held senior positions at Andersen, EY and Grant Thornton, among others, I am both an expert in independent financial economic research and an expert in integrity and fraud management, and sometimes these two areas come together, for example when an auditor comes across indications of fraud in his audit or when an organisation suspects corruption or fraud. And the great thing is that in addition to carrying out investigation and consultancy assignments, I now also teach a lot in my areas of knowledge, with passion of course, and thus gradually learn more and more from behavioural science.\nAn assignment must always serve a legitimate interest and be relevant. I don’t look for ways to specifically target someone. My role is to carry out independent fact-finding in order to clarify a statement for the purpose of finding the truth. This can be done as an expert in a lawsuit or as a forensic accountant in a fraud investigation. But I always want to know in advance what the outcome of my investigation will be used for. Only then is an investigation relevant.\nPassion, energy and commitment drive me to do my job as well as possible. I am not flawless and always invite my client to refute my findings, to contradict them, until we know that we are right or that our differences of opinion are permanent, but that we do at least agree on that.\nAn expert investigator always determines what (closed) question their client wants to answer with the results of their investigation. The investigator checks with his client what he intends to do with the results of the investigation.\nOn the basis of this knowledge, the investigator establishes the legal framework within which the investigation takes place. That legal framework will determine the further design of the investigation.\nWithin that framework, the investigator formulates the factual (open) investigation questions to be answered factually and the resulting plan of action, so that the client gets exactly the facts he needs to answer his question and justify the intended action.\nThat makes an investigation relevant.\nThe results of an investigation do not depend on the choice of one or the other expert investigator. The opinion or judgment of the investigator is irrelevant.\nThe investigation is free of values and does not lead to a judgement by the investigator, but provides the foundation underneath the judgement by the client, the lawyer or the court.\nAn investigator records his sources and the results for each claim in his report. The authenticity of the sources and results should be recorded as well as possible.\nAn interview report is valuable if it turns out to have been shared with the interviewee and has been received back with corrections. If this was done by e-mail, the file includes the related e-mails. Preferably, the file should also include a sound recording of the interview.\nAn investigation that is designed to be relevant should always be reproducible. Another expert investigator should arrive at similar results with a similar design.\nIn fact, an investigation design can be seen as a set of specifications for the construction of a house; if you put all the building blocks together in an agreed manner, the same structure is created.\nKoninklijke Nederlandse Beroepsvereniging van Accountants\nAssociation of Certified Fraud Examiners\nStart in time!\nClearly, time is an important factor in expert investigation.

Children, working age, and older people with significant communication disabilities have always been among the most marginalized in our society.\nThe pandemic and racial disparities are threatening the health and lives of these persons in an unparalleled manner. Individuals who require AAC are often institutionalized, isolated, immunocompromised, and wrongly regarded as lacking in the capacity, need, or right to communicate and make decisions about their lives. This has been found to be endemic in health care contexts; see, for example, here, here, and here. Furthermore, Black Americans and other people of color are more likely to experience stroke, ALS, Parkinson’s, and other conditions that may require them to use AAC. Research also indicates that individuals who belong to racial, ethnic, and linguistic minority communities who need AAC frequently face added difficulties in obtaining it; see, for example, here, here, and here. We must not allow such injustices to linger, especially at this time.\nWe strongly urge the administration to act on the following nine steps in its first six months, by no later than July 26, 2021, the 31st anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).\n1. Investigate and prevent health care discrimination against people with communication disabilities.\nThe Departments of Justice (DOJ) and Health and Human Services (HHS) must investigate the death of Sarah McSweeney, an AAC user who died in an Oregon hospital reportedly in significant part due to the blatant biases of members of her medical team and their judgment that her life was not worth saving. The investigation should make an explicit finding on whether her civil rights were violated and if so, what enforcement actions will be taken. The agencies should also announce the steps they will each take to help prevent future egregious discrimination and the taking of disabled lives. The President should issue the directive to investigate immediately upon taking office and the investigation’s findings and consequent enforcement and policy recommendations should be made public within 180 days.\n2. Assure the effective communication rights of children and adults with speech-related disabilities, especially in public health emergencies.\nThe Departments of Justice, Health and Human Services (HHS), and Homeland Security (DHS) should develop and issue joint guidance to clearly delineate the effective communication rights of individuals with expressive disabilities, including those that rely on AAC, tailored to the missions, authorities, and responsibilities of all three agencies. Most federal guidance on effective communication to date has focused on the first two types of communication disabilities — vision and hearing — while neglecting by comparison the third type relating to speech. This lack of specific guidance has created obstacles to ensuring civil rights protections of people who cannot rely on speech to be understood. This has proven especially challenging during the pandemic.\nDOJ should take the lead on this effort because of the coordination role it plays in the consistent enforcement of the ADA and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act across the federal government. It is also crucial that HHS and DHS develop this joint guidance given the complementary roles both play in assuring the health, well being, independence, and security of all people particularly during the pandemic and other disasters and emergencies as well as the paramount role effective communication must play in such vital efforts.\nThis guidance should build on the joint FAQs on effective communication issued in November 2014 by the Departments of Education and Justice and should take effect no later than July 26, 2021. Additionally, since all other federal agencies have an obligation to comply with and enforce the effective communication requirements of ADA and Section 504, each should be directed to use it to develop guidance of their own.\n3. Clarify the ADA’s anti-discrimination, integration, and effective communication requirements for people with speech-related disabilities in all facets of life.\nThe civil rights guaranteed to individuals who rely on AAC under the ADA, Section 504, and the Olmstead decision are routinely ignored and violated in the best of times, resulting in such persons continuing to experience widespread isolation, abuse, neglect, and institutionalization, and extreme discrimination in communication access, education, health care, employment, and all other facets of life. The pandemic has only exacerbated these injustices. It is critical that DOJ, in coordination with other federal agencies and stakeholders, develops and implements guidance, training, technical assistance, and other measures to clarify, stress, and emphasize to all covered entities what the ADA anti-discrimination, integration, and effective communication mandates mean for children as well as working age and older adults with significant expressive disabilities. The guidance and activities should be developed for, applied to, and carried out during both the pandemic and the post-pandemic era.\n4. Guarantee equal educational access for students with significant expressive disabilities.\nDespite progress in increasing equal and inclusive educational opportunities for individuals with disabilities from early intervention through post graduate studies, students who rely on AAC to be understood are still branded as “less than” from the start. They are assigned low expectations and assumed to be less likely to learn, less intelligent, less likely to communicate, and less likely to connect or to make a life for themselves. The President-elect knows first-hand what it is like to grow up with a speech disability and the importance of us all replacing the prejudices, discrimination, and dreams never lived with greater understanding, justice, and opportunities.\nThe Biden-Harris Administration should take several immediate actions to advance educational access and opportunities and outcomes for persons who use AAC throughout life:\n- The Education and Justice Departments should offer information, training, and technical assistance to students with significant expressive disabilities, their parents, teachers, schools, state education departments, school districts, higher education institutions, and other stakeholders on the importance of ensuring effective communication in a range of educational contexts, and ways to comply with the communication provisions of the ADA, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The rights of individuals using AAC to enroll, attend, and have equal access to post-secondary, graduate, post-graduate, and other lifelong educational, employment, or other educational opportunities should be clarified.\n- The Education and Justice Departments should immediately develop and issue joint guidance on the educational access and communication rights of students who use AAC during the pandemic. The guidance should be followed by training and technical assistance.\n- The Education Department should review the extent to which Intelligence Quotient (IQ) tests and similar cognitive assessments are inappropriately used with students with motor and speech disabilities, resulting in lifelong discriminatory and harmful effects, and determine appropriate short- and long-term actions to prevent and reverse their use and effects. The Education Department should also take action to ensure that actual or perceived intellectual disability is never used as a basis to deny a student access to AAC.\n5. Ensure safe and equitable access to instruction during the pandemic.\nStudents who rely on AAC to be heard and understood generally have multiple co-occurring disabilities and health conditions that can affect learning, mobility, coordination, personal care, and physical and emotional needs. They therefore often require in-person assistance from an adult throughout the school day. They also face significant increased risk of both contracting and dying from COVID19. Entering group settings in school buildings before a vaccine is available for children significantly increases these risks. As a result, many AAC users for safety reasons must continue to be educated remotely. But because many school districts are denying AAC users the in-person support they need to access virtual learning, they are effectively shut out of the same educational opportunities being provided to students without disabilities.\nOn January 4, 2021, CommunicationFIRST released the results of a national survey of families about student experiences attempting to access safe instructional opportunities during the pandemic. We learned that while many students are being denied access to the supports they need to safely access virtual instruction from home, more than a dozen school districts in nine states have figured out a way to comply with the ADA and to safely provide in-person aides to support these most vulnerable students from their homes or elsewhere, to ensure they have equal access to the same educational opportunities being provided to nondisabled students throughout the pandemic.\nThe Biden-Harris Administration must make the issuance of such guidance and the provision of related training and technical assistance one of its highest priorities. No student should be forced to choose between avoiding COVID19 health risks and receiving basic access to educational opportunities.\n6. Stress and invest in lifelong literacy learning and success.\nEducational and career success requires effective communication. Communication is generally most versatile, flexible, and effective in those settings when expressed with language. The majority of what people wish to communicate in sign, spoken, and written language is spontaneous and cannot be adequately conveyed in one word or stock phrases. To be understood, those that use text-based AAC must literally spell out most of what they say each day. It is imperative, therefore, that these children and adults are afforded the opportunities, tools, and support they need to learn, strengthen, and use optimal literacy skills at every stage of their life. Its development must begin at a young age and continue throughout life and is pivotal to our humanity. AAC, American Sign Language, Braille, plain language, technology and other accommodations make it possible for all people to communicate as never before. Yet, far too many who need AAC lack it and are consigned to lifetimes incommunicado. Urgent actions to end this vicious cycle must begin now.\nAccordingly, the Education Department should work with other federal agencies, persons with significant expressive disabilities, families, teachers, states, school districts, higher education, foundations, and experts in AAC, lifelong literacy learning, aging, health care, and other providers to develop a national strategy for identifying the causes, effects, and extent of this discrimination and taking short- and long-term actions to combat it by creating greater equality of opportunity for people with significant communication disabilities.\n7. Remove bureaucratic barriers under Medicare and Medicaid that deny people with disabilities access to the AAC they need to communicate.\nChildren and adults with significant expressive communication disabilities and their families experience enormous barriers and hardships in obtaining necessary AAC assessments, devices, and services in typical times. COVID19 has made matters even worse. The Centers on Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), for example, has refused to respond to calls from CommunicationFIRST and other organizations to permit Medicare to pay for telehealth assessments to determine whether beneficiaries’ accessing a speech generating device is a “medical necessity.” In other words, Medicare is insisting that such evaluations take place only in-person, requiring people with disabilities to choose between risking their lives and forgoing communication. This policy, coming from an agency charged with ensuring improved health of Americans, is both incomprehensible and unconscionable. In another bureaucratic nightmare, according to press reports, the Arizona Medicaid program instituted a practice over a year ago to automatically deny claims to pay for communication devices.\nCommunicationFIRST and the undersigned organizations are deeply concerned by these incidents and the biases and discriminatory attitudes that undergird them. We fear that other public and private insurers have similar policies and practices in place already or might institute them in the future if no action is taken. To unjustly deny anyone their ability and right to express themselves subverts our nation’s creed.\nThe HHS Secretary should immediately direct CMS to reverse Medicare’s refusal to pay for telehealth AAC assessments and to investigate and reverse any state practice that denies Medicaid funds for AAC devices. CMS also should work with other federal and state insurers, state insurance commissioners to assure that public and private plans have AAC coverage policies and practices that meet the requirements of the Affordable Care Act and ADA as well as other federal and state laws.\n8. Promote equitable access to AAC more broadly.\nDespite great advances in technology, education, law, and other fields, many people with significant speech-related disabilities continue to be denied access to robust, language-based AAC strategies, tools, and supports necessary to effectively communicate with others. Students of color, English learners, and those from lower income families face even greater barriers to accessing effective AAC. Deep-seated, systemic prejudice posits such persons cannot comprehend or produce language, and therefore do not need any tools to communicate more effectively. Such bias results in egregious discrimination and degradation.\nResearch shows that those who lack access to effective AAC are more likely to experience institutionalization, abuse, lower levels of education, and worse employment and health outcomes. Children and adults with significant communication disabilities who are Black, indigenous, or people of color or whose primary language is not English face additional barriers and discrimination. Over three decades after the enactment of the ADA, it is time to bring these gross injustices to an end. As a nation, we must ensure all people with significant communication disabilities have access to AAC and the opportunities to lead decent lives regardless of race, age, class, disability, gender, language, living situation, sexual identity, socioeconomic status, or other classification.\nThe Biden-Harris Administration should conduct a comprehensive, whole government effort to identify the causes, effects, and extent of this discrimination as well as the short- and long-term actions that must be taken to combat it by creating greater equality of opportunity for people with significant communication disabilities. We strongly recommend the Domestic Policy Council be charged with leading this review in consultation with the Departments of Justice, Education, HHS, other federal agencies, people with significant communication disabilities, their families, and other stakeholders and that the review’s findings and recommendations be made available to the public and begin to be implemented within the first year of the Administration.\n9. Improve and expand data gathering and analysis efforts, and encourage data-driven decision making.\nThe National Academies of Sciences reports that data on individuals with significant communication disabilities are limited and disjointed and are rarely gathered, analyzed, or used to shape policies and programs that purportedly are designed to serve this high support-need population. How effective are the billions in federal dollars devoted to these programs in terms of ensuring improved education, communication, health, employment, and quality of life? Similarly, characteristic data on this population’s socio-economic status as well as the barriers and discrimination they endure in every sphere of American life is also terribly lacking. In fact, no reliable statistical survey or administrative data exist at the national or state level on the socio-economic characteristics, quality of life, or the unmet needs of this population. When people go uncounted, their needs, rights, abilities, and aspirations are ignored.\nGiven the known and unknown impacts the pandemic has had on people with significant communication disabilities, it is vital that the Biden-Harris Administration close these gaps in data, knowledge, and policy-effectiveness now. In its review on the need to eliminate discrimination and advance equality of opportunity for such individuals, the Domestic Policy Council should recommend steps to close these gaps.\n¤ ¤ ¤\nOver the past year, COVID19, the struggle for racial equity, and threats to our democracy have shown us once again that, as Dr. King wrote, “The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people.” We call on President-elect Biden, Vice President-elect Harris, and the new Congress to join with us and provide leadership to end the oppression of silence that is ever present in the everyday lives of millions of marginalized children and adults with significant communication disabilities.\nQuestions may be directed to CommunicationFIRST’s Policy Director, Bob Williams, at email@example.com, or Executive Director, Tauna Szymanski, at firstname.lastname@example.org.

Obtaining a work permit in Portugal is a preliminary and mandatory step and it can also be discussed with the employer before the relocation is complete. Our lawyers in Portugal can explain the main aspects each foreign employee needs to take into consideration before deciding to apply for a job in the country. All foreigners who wish to find out more details about the relevant employment laws can talk to one of our experts.\nDo I need a work permit if I’m an EU/EEA or Swiss resident?\nEU/EEA and Swiss residents do not need a work permit in order to be able to have a job in Lisbon or any other Portuguese city. Non-EU nationals, however, need to apply for a Portuguese work permit before they may begin employment. The application for this permit is subject to an evaluation from the relevant labor force authority in the area where the individual will work or reside. In almost all cases, the applicant must bring forward proof of employment or, in other situations, proof of marriage in Portugal to a national.\nOur team of lawyers in Portugal who specialize in immigration matters can give you more details on the policy for those foreign nationals who want to work in Portugal for longer periods. Here is an infographic that explains more:\nShort-term work visa in Portugal\nPersons accepting jobs on a short-term in Portugal will have to apply for a specific visa in this matter. This is the Portuguese short-term visa which is issued for no more than 6 months. The labor authorities in Portugal will have to make verifications in this matter and evaluate the workers soliciting a short-term work visa. This kind of visa comes with a temporary residence in Portugal which can be prolonged alongside the visa validity in the case of persons involved in academic teaching or scientific research in this country.\nLong-term visa in Portugal\nThe following information about the long-term visa for Portugal helps foreigners understand better the conditions imposed:\n- This kind of visa is issued to foreigners wanting to work more than just 6 months in Portugal.\n- Being part of the Schengen Area, Portugal allows foreigners to travel within 26 countries with this kind of visa without any restrictions.\n- The bilateral agreements signed by Portugal with New Zealand, Canada, USA, Japan, Australia, and Israel allow the residents of these countries to apply for a long-term work visa within 90 days from the date of their arrival in the country.\n- The next thing to consider is to apply for a Portuguese residence permit, in order to legally work and live in Portugal.\nThe legal requirements for obtaining a short-term or a long-term visa for Portugal can be entirely explained by our team of lawyers in Portugal, so feel free to address your inquiries at any time.\nWorking in Portugal\nEmployment in Portugal is subject to a contractual agreement between the employer and the employee. Once the individual finds a suitable job, it is usually the task of the employer to begin the application process for a Portuguese work permit. EU/EEA and Swiss nationals do not need a special work visa/work permit, however, if they intend to work in the country for a long period of time they will need a residence permit.\nYou can talk to one of our attorneys in Portugal for in-depth information about all of the aspects of the Employment Law and other relevant legal requirements for foreigners. Our lawyers can help you if you are looking to become an employee in the country or if you wish to start your own business or register a sole trader.\nWhat does an employment contract comprise?\nAn employment contract can be signed on a fixed term, for an indefinite period, part-time or on a short duration, depending on the job and requirements of the employer in Portugal. This kind of contract comprises information about the job, the rights of employees, the rules of the company, the working hours, the responsibilities, maternity leave, holiday breaks, remuneration and many more. All the details of an employment contract can be explained in legal terms by our Portuguese lawyers, so feel free to ask for our support at any time.\nWhat is the EU blue card?\nThe authorities in Portugal implemented the Blue Card Scheme which acts as a work visa and residency permit in this country and which is available for highly qualified professionals. The validity of EU blue cards might prolong for 4 years, depending on the job contract of foreigners, mentioning that they can work in all Schengen Area countries except for UK, Ireland, and Denmark. In matters of documents for an EU blue card, evidence of proper accommodation, the permission for checking the criminal record, health insurance and the registration to the National Health Service in Portugal plus the valid passport are needed and requested by the Portuguese immigration authorities. The renewal of the EU blue card will also depend on the criminal record of the holder, if there was no criminal activity registered during the previous period.\nSole traders in Portugal – what are the main visa requirements?\nForeigners from non-EU or EFTA (European Free Trade Association) countries can easily set up their freelance activities or small businesses, by applying for the same visas as employees in Portugal. The difference is that additional documents will be solicited for the type of activities you wish to develop in Portugal. The registration for tax purposes is mandatory for sole traders in Portugal, as part of the incorporation procedure.\nWork visas for training and volunteers in Portugal\nForeigners wanting to perform volunteer work and unpaid training in Portugal will have to apply for special residence and work permits for which documents like the ones showing they have enough funds to support the living in the country, they have proper accommodation and no criminal records are needed. The work visa is issued for 6 months or for the time the training and/or volunteer work takes place in Portugal.\nIn terms of business and investments, foreigners can choose Portugal from varied reasons, among which the ease of doing business, investment encouragements and so on.

As such, the District has enacted a number of policies and procedures relating to visitors at District buildings during regular school hours.\nStarting October 2nd, 2023 visitors to the school during the hours of 7:45 AM - 3:15 PM will be required to provide a Driver's License, which will be scanned through the School Gate Guardian visitor management system. The system uses the identification to conduct a background check, which includes the national sex offender database. A visitor's badge is then printed, which includes the visitor's name and a small photo.\nFAQs for Parents and Community Members School Gate Guardian Visitor Management System\n1. What is School Gate Guardian?\nSchool Gate Guardian is a visitor registration system designed to enhance school safety and security. When visitors arrive at a school, they present a government-issued identification such as a driver’s license. The driver’s license is then scanned and compared with information from several databases including the registered sex offender database and a locally-stored database created by the District that could include parents or guardians with restraining orders or visitors that have been deemed a threat to students and staff.\n2. Why has the Wilton Community School District decided to use this type of system?\nStudent safety is one of our highest priorities and a computerized visitor management system allows the school district to more clearly and accurately identify visitors. In the unlikely event an incident does occur, police and other authorities will have access to these electronic visitor logs which have a photograph of the visitor, as well as a date and time stamp of their entry and exit times.\n3. When did this system go into effect?\nThe School Gate Guardian Visitor Management System goes into effect on October 2nd, 2023.\n4. What information is the School Gate Guardian retrieving from the photo ID?\nThe only information the system scans to perform the proper searches are the first name, last name, date of birth, address, license number and the description/photo of the visitor. None of this data will be shared with any other company or organization other than law enforcement, and this will only occur in the event of an incident. No data is stored in the School Gate Guardian system.\n5. Is my information secure during the background check screening process?\nSchool Gate Guardian encrypts information as it is sent out over the Internet to perform the background check.\n6. Does the Wilton Community School District have the right to require visitors and parents to produce a state-issued ID before entering school facilities?\nYes. District personnel must be certain of who is in our buildings, what the purpose of their visit is, whom they are here to see, and if they have the authority or the right to have access to our facilities and students. We can only do this by performing the appropriate checks.\n7. How long does the scanning/check-in process take?\nThe entire process should take less than three minutes to complete; often it will be much faster than that. We recommend arriving on campus with enough time to complete the required scanning/check-in.\n8. What if a parent/guardian does not have a government-issued ID?\nNo, visitors will be granted access to the facilities without a government-issued ID such as a driver’s license.\n9. If a positive match does occur indicating a visitor is a registered sex offender, what procedures have the staff members been trained to do?\nSchool Gate Guardian checks the nearly 600,000 registered sex offenders in this country. Occasionally, parents or relatives of one of our students may be deemed a registered sex offender. This person does have the right to conduct business on school property, but our staff members have been trained to bring in an administrator to assess and address the situation. The system displays a positive match in a discreet and silent fashion so these instances are usually handled in a non-public way to avoid any embarrassment to the individual. In the event the visitor is identified as having a match to the sexual offender database, our staff has been trained to remain calm, ask the visitor to wait for assistance, and seek immediate help from other District personnel or law enforcement officials. The staff has been trained to not go into any further details with the visitor until the appropriate persons have arrived.\n10. Do I need to scan photo identification if I need to drop something off such as my child’s lunch, book, money, instrument, etc.?\nThe process for dropping off items remains the same: parents or guardians who need to drop off items at school for their child or other school personnel should enter the Main Entrance. When greeted by school personnel, visitors should indicate that they have something to drop off and can leave the items with the secretary. The secretary will deliver the items to the appropriate person.\n11. What will happen when a visitor enters the school?\nThe visitor will give his/her government-issued identification card (such as a driver’s license) to the building secretary who will scan the card through the School Gate Guardian system. The card-reader will gather necessary information from the license. Frequent volunteers and outside vendors may be issued a key tag for entrance to the buildings. In this case, the key tag is scanned. The information will then be run through a sex offender database, as well as a district-maintained database. If no matches are found, the secretary will print a visitor badge, which includes the visitor’s name, photo, reason for visit and location of visit. If the visitor appears in the sex offender database, a pop-up message will discreetly appear on the secretary’s computer screen. Staff members have been trained in how to handle this situation.\nUpon completion of the visit, the visitor will return to the secretary and scan the barcode for exit. All visitors are required to exit the building through the main entrance and scan the visitor barcode or key tag. After scanning for exit and leaving the building, the visitor may dispose of the visitor badge. Key tags for frequent visitors should be kept for future use.\n12. If I’m a parent/guardian who has already had my ID checked, do I need to do it every time I arrive on campus?\nYes.

The China issue can be a confusing one so I'd like to do my best to explain it here.\nSkirting around the issue\nWhen I email companies about their cruelty-free status, I always ask if they sell their products in mainland China. Frustratingly, I often receive a reply like this:\n\"As of June 30, 2014, animal testing for ordinary cosmetics produced and sold inside China was no longer legally mandated.\"Note that this does not answer the question of whether the company sells in China, but also tries to make it seem as though animal testing in China is no longer required by law. This article from Humane Society International explains the change in the Chinese law in June 2014. Since this change, some products may not be required by law to be tested on animals but this is no guarantee that they won't be. The company can still choose to test on animals in China, because it's perfectly legal to do so.\nPost-market animal testing\nChinese authorities are also likely to conduct post-market animal testing. This is where they take finished products off the shelves and test them on animals. As Humane Society International explain, this practise has probably increased since the change in the law. In regards to the likelihood of post-market testing, HSI also state:\n\"HSI believes that until this is no longer the case, no cosmetics company can sell its products in China and credibly purport to be cruelty-free.\"The Body Shop recently tried to work around this rule by selling their products in Chinese airports, but when customers found out that these could be subject to post-market animal testing the products were quickly removed from the Chinese market. Any product sold in China can be subject to post-market animal testing, without a company's consent or knowledge.\nWhen animal testing isn't required\nSo when are cosmetics not subject to animal testing in China?\n- Products that are made and sold in Hong Kong. Although part of China, Hong Kong has separate animal testing laws, so cruelty-free companies can sell there. This why I specifically ask companies if they sell products in mainland China.\n- Products manufactured in China for foreign export only. If it's not being sold to the Chinese public, their government says it's ok. So there are cruelty-free companies who make their products in China, but don't sell them there.\n- E-commerce. Products sold and posted directly to customers from e-commerce websites are not required to be tested on animals. So cruelty-free companies can sell to Chinese customers directly through their websites.\nSo can a cruelty-free company sell in China?\nNo. When a company chooses to sell their products in China, they are consenting to test those products on animals, to use a third party to test on animals, or have the Chinese government test on animals for them. Currently, there is no way for a cruelty-free company to sell in China. Do not let any company try and convince you otherwise!\nLush, for example, refuse to sell products in mainland China until the law is changed in order to eliminate any chance of their products being tested on animals. Hilary Jones, Lush ethics director, states:\n\"LUSH and other cruelty-free companies are still unable to trade in China currently, as this legislation does not allow for fully non-animal tested cosmetics to come to market.\"The change in the law in June 2014 is an important first step, but it will be a long way until China is free from animal testing.\nTo learn more about this topic, I also recommend reading Logical Harmony's post about Animal Testing and China and Elephant In The Room's excellent infographic for Understanding China's Animal Testing Laws. My Beauty Bunny has a list of brands selling in China, so you know which ones to avoid.\nThis China & Cosmetics Animal Testing FAQ from Humane Society International gives a really comprehensive breakdown of the specifics. Also check out Cruelty Free International who along with Humane Society International are campaigning to end animal testing both in China and worldwide.\nHow do you feel about brands that sell in China? Is it ok if a company doesn't conduct animal testing themselves?", "domain": "law"}

This also applies in the event that Licensor has not expressly rejected Licensee’s Terms and Conditions.\nSection 2 – Further development; Support\n(1) Licensor may further develop the range of functions of the SaaS-Solutions, unless original functionality is substantially limited thereby.\n(2) The SaaS-Solutions are free from errors, if they fulfill the functions contained in the product description of buynomics (see Section 1.1) as amended from time to time or separately agreed upon. Licensor does not warrant that the functions of the SaaS-Solution meet the requirements for a specific use case of Licensee, unless otherwise agreed contractually.\n(3) Licensor provides a ticket system. All error messages have to be submitted via the ticket system by Licensee built within the tool (Button – give feedback). Licensee is to provide reasonable assistance to Licensor in analyzing errors, for example, through screenshot or system descriptions; Error messages are to be sent to Licensor as promptly as possible. If a SaaS-Solution is defective, Licensor shall – within a reasonable time – remedy reported errors insofar as a reported error is reproducible.\nSection 3 – Rights of use; Open Source Components\n(1) The SaaS-Solutions of Licensor are protected by copyright. Licensor shall grant Licensee no rights of use and exploitation exceeding the intended use. The scope of the intended use arises from these SaaS-Agreements and the specific subscription model. Any further use, exploitation, modification and duplication shall be prohibited. Licensor is not allowed to sub-license the right to use of a SaaS-Solution.\n(2) For the operation and the use of the SaaS-Solution, the system and software requirements specified by Licensor must be complied with.

Licensee ensures that such employees will comply with the terms of the SaaS-Agreement. The granting of additional rights of use is solely the responsibility of Licensor. Licensee shall be liable for infringements of the terms of the SaaS-Agreement by Licensee’s employees as for Licensee’s own infringements and shall notify Licensor of any violations without undue delay. Any exceeding transfer of rights of use to third parties shall not be permitted.\nSection 4 – Availability\n(1) The SaaS-Solutions of Licensor are available on 99% on the time in an annual average.\n(2) Maintenance services announced at least seven (7) days in advance (at a maximum of 3 hours/week on an annual average) will not be considered in the calculation of Section 4(1).\n(3) Licensor endeavors to perform maintenance services at times at which – on average – the SaaS-Solutions are not used frequently (i.e. in the weekend).\nSection 5 – Registration; Account\n(1) For each Licensee an administrator account is created in which the Licensee can activate employees and representatives for the use of the SaaS-Solution. For each employee and representative an own user account has to be created. Only employees and representative of the Licensee are allowed to be provided with a user account.\n(2) For the creation of each account, a full name, address and e-mail-address have to be indicated. The Licensee ensures the accuracy of account information and keeps this information up-to-date.\n(3) An account is personalized and may only be used by the registered employee and/or representatives.\n(4) The Licensee is obliged to use secure passwords (at least 8 characters, including a special character) and not to keep any written notes about passwords. Passwords shall not consist of an easy to guess word/expression, for example, a person’s name or date of birth or a word/expression that are used to access other services, The Licensee commits its employees who have a user account to a correspondingly careful handling of passwords.\n(5) Licensor may suspend a user account / administrator account if there are indications that it has been used unauthorized and / or attempted or unauthorized access to the SaaS-Solution from the user account / administrator account or the backend systems of Licensor (“hacking”). In such a case, Licensor will promptly notify the Licensee via the e-mail address linked to the user account / administrator account and allow him access via the creation of new accounts again, unless there are facts, which suggest that the Licensor or one of his employees attempted to gain unauthorized access to the Licensors systems.\n(6) Access to the SaaS-Solution requires an Internet browser (Google Chrome is recommended) in its current version. The device that calls the SaaS-Solution must be connected to the Internet.\nSection 6 – Liability\n(1) Licensor shall have unlimited liability in case of intentional or grossly negligent breaches of obligation, damage to life, body or health, both within the statutory framework in accordance with mandatory laws, such as in accordance with the German Product Liability Act or the product safety acts. In addition, Licensor shall be liable within the scope of guarantees assumed.\nIn case of slightly negligent breaches of material contractual obligations, Licensor shall have unlimited liability regarding typically foreseeable damage. These are obligations whose fulfilment actually enables the performance of the contract and on the compliance with which the contractual partner may regularly rely upon.\nLiability for slight negligence is otherwise excluded.\nIf liability in accordance with the aforementioned provisions is excluded, this shall also apply to the agents and vicarious agents of Licensor.\n(2) Licensor shall not be liable for damage arising from settings in the SaaS-Solutions for which Licensor is not responsible.\n(3) Occurrences of force majeure (including strikes, lockouts and similar occurrences, insofar as they cannot be foreseen, are severe, and are not the fault of Licensor), which make it significantly more difficult or impossible for Licensor to provide the services owed, shall entitle Licensor to postpone the performance of the obligations by the duration of the obstacle and an appropriate start-up period.\n(4) Licensor shall be liable for additional cost incurred during the use of SaaS-Software (in particular, for the cost of data transfer via mobile communications including data roaming) only if Licensor is responsible for intent, gross negligence or the breach of material contractual duties.\nSection 7 – Licensee’s duty of care and security\n(1) Licensee is obliged to use an up-to-date virus scanner / inspection program to check files that Licensee uploads to buynomics in advance for viruses, worms, trojan horses, etc. that may impair the integrity of files and/computer hardware and software and only to upload files that are free of such components. Licensor shall, insofar as it discovers such files or components, notify Licensee thereof without undue delay. If such files or components pose a direct risk to the functioning or integrity of the services of Licensor or the facilities of third parties, Licensor may delete such data or components in order to avoid damage. This may be done even without informing Licensee in advance if the associated risk cannot be mitigated in any other way with appropriate financial and time effort.\n(2) If there are signs of use contrary to these Terms and Conditions, Licensor shall be entitled, taking into account the severity of the breach with regard to the interests of Licensee, to block the access of Licensee and/or individual employees to SaaS-Solution until the signs are refuted. Licensee shall be notified thereof.

The new rule first announced by the finance minister Mr. Arun Jaitley during the annual budget calls for a tax deduction at source from maturity proceeds of all life insurance policies in case the total premium paid is more than 10 per cent of the sum assured is applicable from October 1 2014.\nThe government introduced the changes in TDS for insurance policies as per the New Finance Bill of 2014 by introducing a new section 194 DA in the income tax Act of 1961. As per the new section, tax shall be deducted at source (TDS) on payouts for all insurance policies exceeding Rs. 1 Lakhs in a financial year which are not exempted for income tax under section 10(10D). While many people have left with a bitter taste as they took life insurance policy considering the fact that it would not warrant for any tax deductions, financial analysts and tax experts believe this is a step in the right direction as income tax payers were evading tax liable on their insurance policies. Let us take a look at the introduction of TDS deduction on insurance policies and its impact on the common man.\nCurrent insurance tax laws: As per the current life insurance and taxation laws, all life insurance policies are affected directly by two distinct sections of the income tax act namely Section 80C and Section 10(10)D. Under Section 80C, an insurance policy holder can seek tax deduction on the premium paid in the last financial year up to a maximum limit of Rs. 1.5 Lakhs. The maturity proceeds paid out to the insurance policy holder including ULIPS, traditional policies or term pans are exempted from taxable income in case the premium paid in any year is more than 10% of the total sum assured for policies bought after April 1, 2012 and 20% of the sum insured for policies bought between April 1 2003 and 31st March 2012.\nIntroduction of Section 194 DA: In case if the above conditions not being met or the policy holder had a policy not included under the ambit of the above mentioned sections, the onus to disclose the type of policy and pay its designated tax was with the policyholder. Since a large number of people were evading payment of tax unknowingly and knowingly, the government decided to introduce a new rule that would deduct tax at source for all insurance policies.\nAs per the new section 194DS introduced in the new finance bill of 2014, tax would deducted at source (TDS) on payouts to Resident Indian insurance policy holders in case their cumulative payout across all policies which are not exempt under section 10(10D) equals or exceeds Rs. 1 Lakhs in one financial year.\nInsurance policies likely to come under the ambit of new TDS Deduction Law: All insurance policies including ULIPs, term insurance plans and traditional insurance policies except annuity, pension plans, insurance policy for a disabled dependent and employer sponsored group life insurance are likely to come under the ambit of the new TDS rule as per the new finance bill of 2014. Most single premium policies are likely to come under the TDS deduction rule unless they offer single premium to the tune of 10 times the premium as total sum assured. In other words all life insurance policies that are not eligible for tax exemption under Section 10 (10D), will see 2 per cent tax deducted at source on the sum paid to the policyholder.\nQuantum of TDS deduction: As per the new finance bill of 2014, section 194DA of the income tax Act of 1961 would deduct a total of 2 percent tax at source on the total sum to be paid to the policyholder with a valid and registered PAN number. In case the policyholder does not have a valid PAN which is registered, a total of 20% tax would be deducted at source. All those insurance policy holders who do not have their PAN numbers registered with their insurance service providers need to get their PAN numbers registered to avoid deduction of 20% tax deduction as TDS.", "domain": "law"}

Members of the extended Cook family, from the Blue Mountains west of Sydney, ran a much-loved circus school but ended up in prison after being charged with 127 counts of monstrous child sexual abuse. At the time of the arrests, detectives were quick to publicise their success in identifying and stopping a depraved sex ring.

We discard the Free Trade Zone Corporations due to their high operating cost and high requirements, as well as the Simplified Public Limited Corporations for having a mandatory social security contribution which makes it costly in the long term.\nThe traditional Simplified Public Limited Corporation is the most popular in Uruguay, and it can be used to carry out activities both locally and abroad due to the principle of territoriality applicable in the country. To the extent that the company does not obtain income or have assets in the national territory, it will not pay taxes except for the Tax on the Incorporation of Corporations (ICOSA).\nThe Stock Company must pay an annual tax to the control of Stock Companies (ICOSA), which amounts to approximately USD 500 per year.\nAs we commented previously, as long as the company does not have income or assets in Uruguay, it will not pay taxes, but it must file annual sworn statements before the General Tax Directorate (DGI) and have an accounting in accordance with International Financial Standards.\nIn case of carrying out International Trading of goods or services, whose origin and destination are not Uruguay, you may opt for a fictitious tax regime (Resolution 51/97) where the income tax rate to be paid will be 0.75 %.\nThe sale of the shares of the Corporation are subject to Non-Resident Income Tax (IRNR) at the rate of 2.4% on the amount of the share purchase agreement.\nDespite the fact that it is possible to acquire a Public Limited Corporation from the moment of its formation, what usually happens in practice is the acquisition of already constituted Corporation without previous activity. This is because the entire setting up process can take more than 90 days to complete. The acquisition of an S.A. already constituted allows to start its activities practically immediately.\nThe capital of the company can belong in its entirely to one or more shareholders, who can be both natural or legal persons resident or non-resident of Uruguay.\nWhether the shares are Registered or Bearer, the final beneficiaries (physical persons) must be notified to the Central Bank of Uruguay in each modification of the ownership of the shares. Said communication is not public in nature, so no person may request information unless a duly justified court order.\nThe representation of the Company will be in charge of the Board of Directors, which may be made up of one or more natural or legal persons resident or non-resident in Uruguay. The Board of Directors may meet in the country or abroad, with the frequency that is deemed convenient and obligatory when imposed by the statute.\nCompanies must hold at least one Annual Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting that approves the balance sheet, decides on the destination of the profits and appoints directors, unless in the latter case the statute provides for longer periods for the exercise of the position of director. Shareholders' Assemblies must be held in Uruguay, and shareholders may be represented by proxy.\nScope of application\nUruguayan Public Limited Corporations are an excellent tool for multinational companies to carry out international trading or intermediation operations between countries. The great advantage is the low level of income tax it has and the high degree of recognition before other tax authorities to justify its operations.\nIt is also useful for activities such as making collections and payments abroad originated for different reasons, such as provision of services, counseling, commissions, etc., in order to concentrate the profits in the Corporation and reduce the taxes to be paid.\nWith regard to intellectual property, Public Limited Corporations are an excellent way to maintain ownership of a trademark or patent that is licensed to different companies, concentrating royalties on the Public Limited Corporation in order to reduce the tax that is paid on them.\nIn the case of investments in assets, either in real estate abroad or in financial investment portfolios, Public Limited Corporations are a great tool to reduce or defer taxes in the country of origin in a legal way.\nIn order to avoid inheritance rules, the bearer shares of the Stock Company allow it to be the owner of a property, for example, and transfer it freely. Also, since there is no hereditary transmission, inheritance tax is avoided. A similar effect can be achieved in the event of dissolution of the conjugal partnership.\nPlease for more information contact us : firstname.lastname@example.org", "domain": "law"}

What do we need to do in terms of estate planning in order to protect our business should something happen to one of us?\nSmall business estate planning is just as important as planning for your own personal finances. Depending on the structure of your company, what you need to have in place varies. Since your business has multiple owners, your needs are different from that of a sole-proprietor. In your case, you will need a Buy-Sell Agreement.\n“Figuring out a succession plan for your business is absolutely essential, because people’s lives are always changing. No matter what happens–whether a co-owner goes through a divorce, dies, or just wants out, planning ahead will help ensure that the business stays intact. Things like this can really rip apart a business–and create unwanted legal costs–if you haven’t planned ahead,” adds Rocket Lawyer Founder and Executive Chairman, Charley Moore.\nA Buy-Sell Agreement, sometimes referred to as a ‘business prenup’ or ‘business Will’, has many functions. The agreement can let your co-owners purchase your shares of the business. Alternatively, these agreements can designate an heir, so that a capable child or designated successor can inherit your part of the company. In this case, all the owners must mutually agree on that heir. You can also set up provisions for what happens if a co-owner simply wants out of your business.\nOwnership transfers are complicated and potentially costly processes, but a Buy-Sell agreement can help actually lower the taxes on estate transfer. You and your co-owners can also set asides portions of your life insurance policy to provide the liquid cash necessary to help your deal with estate taxes and other costs associated with this type of asset transfer. Consider their needs when creating your life insurance policy or when creating your estate plan, so that the transfer of assets is a gift, not a burden.\nFor further information, please visit www.rocketlawyer.com\nE-mail questions to Bruce@Smallbusinessprofessor.com.", "domain": "law"}

The warring parties have failed to resolve their differences and atrocities have been committed by both sides in the course of the conflict. There are calls for the UN to be involved. They are overdue and the situation needs to be addressed at the level of the Secretary General.\nOn the 24th of October there was what has been described as a new low in Cameroon’s Anglophone crisis when seven children were killed and many more injured by gunmen in an attack on a school in the city of Kumba. No one has claimed responsibility for the attack, which has been condemned by the government, separatist leaders and human rights organisations. It has put a renewed spotlight on a conflict between the government and armed groups riven by human rights violations that include massacres, the destruction of villages, sexual violence and torture. A dispute over law and teaching that escalated in 2016 led to the declaration of independence by Ambazonia Governing Council in 2017 and fighting between the government and separatists. This underwent a major escalation in 2019 and has led to an estimated death toll of over 3000 and the displacement of over 600,000 people. A unique characteristic of the conflict has been the deliberate closure of schools by the separatists, removing 800,000 children from education.\nAt the heart of the dispute was language: The Northwest and Southwest regions of Cameroon are English speaking whereas the majority of the country speaks French. This is due to the colonial history of the region that saw the Southern Cameroons and Cameroon joined together in a botched withdrawal by the British and French. It left Cameroon with different law and education systems in the English and French speaking areas. The government was accused of filling key posts with people trained in the French traditions, thus marginalising the English speaking minority. The Anglophone minority are proud of their traditions and had described the government’s approach as ‘forced assimilation’. For its part, the government is committed to centralised governance and allows governance at the local level provided that it doesn’t conflict with national law. The 2016 dispute began over the appointment of French-speaking Judges, which were seen as threatening the common law system in the Northwest and Southwest regions. This dovetailed with a general feeling of marginalisation amongst Anglophones as the campaign by lawyers and teachers was linked to that for greater civil and political rights. The government responded harshly and arrested hundreds of protestors and would later arrest the leaders of the separatist movement. A notable characteristic of the Anglophone crisis is that its main incompatibility is constitutional, meaning that amongst the potential solutions was the reform of how the regions were governed. The deterioration into armed conflict was a situation that was utterly out of proportion to the dispute that fuelled it and separatist demands moved from autonomy to independence.\nInternational action has been limited given the scale of the crisis. The EU and the US have condemned the violence but have taken little other direct action (advocating within the EU and US not withstanding). The US has been pushing for sanctions while France supports the government. The most influential regional power is Nigeria, who absorbed the Northern Cameroons during decolonisation but is partnered with Cameroon in their battle against Boko Harem. The African Union has discussed the crisis in a closed meeting at a summit but has otherwise steered clear. For its part, the UN seems to be waiting for the AU to act, which has yet to happen in any substantive form. We should note that Cameroon’s President, Paul Biya, is able to count on support in the region and that the AU is fundamentally resistant to changes arising from territorial and governance disputes.\nThe Cameroonian government in Yaoundé has generally sought to avoid outside involvement in the crisis with the exception of Swiss mediators from the Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue and has sought to deal with the crisis internally and on its own terms. An attempt by the Swiss in 2019 failed to stop the fighting due to mistrust from within the separatist movement but they have been mandated by the government to try again. An experienced diplomat and mediator, Günther Bächler, has been working with the parties and the church in Cameroon during 2020. A national dialogue in 2019 also had little impact on ending the fighting but in 2020 there has been secret talks between government representatives and separatists from the diaspora in Ghana and then jailed separatist leaders in the neutral territory of the Episcopal Centre of Mvolyé. Despite the willingness of the sides to talk major fighting has continued and there have been many instances of atrocities similar to the one that took place in Kumba. For the government the war is a classic insurgency and for the separatists it is a guerrilla war. For everyone else it is brutal and frequently atrocious.\nWhilst the warring parties are willing to talk there is little of note coming out of it and they are deadlocked over the conditions for a cessation of military activities. The momentum for a peaceful solution is driven by civil society, including the Catholic Church and women’s groups in the Anglophone regions, and on the 27th October some 35 groups issued an open letter calling for a ceasefire and UN peace talks. This coincides with a call from separatist leaders for the UN to mediate. The Cameroonian opposition has been critical of both the government and the separatists, noting that separatist violence allowed Biya to deal with international pressure to find a solution. They also say that the Biya regime is corrupt and needs to go. Maurice Kamto, an opposition leader, languishes in prison following a disputed election that some say he actually won. A major difficulty in the talks is the divisions within both the government and the separatists.\nInside the government there is the expected jockeying for influence, particularly given that the question of Bika’s succession is wide open but this has found its way into the peace process, with the Prime Minister, Joseph Dion Ngute, and Secretary General of the Presidency, Ferdinand Ngoh Ngoh, at odds.There is more widespread division in terms of attitudes to dealing with the separatist insurgency and the government has shown itself unable to agree on what has actually been discussed or agreed in talks with the secessionists. As far as coming up with a joined up approach to the crisis goes, it’s a shambles. Given that there is the added possibility of a forthcoming succession crisis with factions and interests split along ethnic lines and a war with Boko Haram that is responsible for over 2,500 deaths between 2014 and 2017, the government does in fact have a lot on its plate (see the previous blogs on this). This is not, however, a valid reason not to deal with a disaster in the Anglophone regions that the Biya government contributed to by its own mishandling of the situation, or its failure to prevent war crimes by its own forces.\nFor their part, the separatists lack central control and there are differing opinions on issues such as the utility of violence, political solutions (independence/autonomy /confederation) and the use of school strikes. There are a myriad of political organisations, some linked to armed groups and disagreement on finding solutions to the conflict other than armed struggle. Hardliners insist on fighting on and there are small semi-criminal actors reliant on a war economy. This makes it difficult to refer to the separatists as a movement, even as a decentralised one. While there are two major Ambazonian interim governments (referred to as IG Sisiku and IG Sako, after their leaders) they act as umbrella groups for other factions and there are also unaffiliated militias on the ground alongside what are described as ‘Fake Amba’ allegedly in the pay of the government. The recent peace talks have mostly been with the IG Sisiku, whose leader is imprisoned in Cameroon. These talks have been condemned by the IG Sako, whose leader is based in the US. Much of the debate takes place in the diaspora. In turn, the IG Sisiku was critical of the 2019 Swiss mediation attempt which the IG Sako took part in. This prevented a unified separatist presence for talks with the government and effectively derailed the attempt altogether. The government has generally favoured talking to separatist leaders from IG Sisiku whom are incarcerated in Cameroon’s jails, meaning the exclusion of the IG Sako leaders in the diaspora. Despite the divisions, one separatist leader, Ayaba Cho Lucas, has claimed that the factions are working together. One notable concession by the separatists has been to drop the call for the army to withdraw from the Anglophone regions and to return to their barracks instead, allowing the police and gendarmerie to take over.\nThe government stance is to push forward with decentralisation agreed at a 2019 Grand National Dialogue alongside a firm military response. The parliament approved a bill granting special status but secessionists have rejected this as having emerged out of a dialogue dominated by the ruling CPDM party, which some of the opposition had walked out of. Whilst the government is pushing reform the population of the Anglophone region didn’t turn out to vote in the February elections. The separatists have indicated preferences that talks should take place outside of Cameroon, involve all separatists and not just those handpicked by the government, and should involve a trusted international actor. The government is divided on the matter, with some members advocating entrusting negotiations to a third party outside of Cameroon. The IG Sisiku has called for the demilitarisation of the Anglophone regions, prisoner releases and an amnesty for leaders in the diaspora. Separatists and the government are deadlocked over the deployment of the military with the former saying there will be no ceasefire unless the army returns to barracks. It isn’t clear exactly how much operational control the IGs have over their affiliated groups.\nThere has been significant pressure for the UN to become involved in the resolution of the conflict. One separatist IG has called for it, the opposition believes that the UN should be involved and the signatories of #EndAnglophoneCrisis are a who’s who of civil society groups and international campaign groups. These include the women’s groups working in the Anglophone regions. While it is the case that the government and the separatists have engaged in talks there has yet to be a substantive outcome and there is substantial evidence that the forces of both sides have committed war crimes. Their interests have been supplanted by the call of civil society and peace activists for an immediate general ceasefire and referral of the dispute to the UN in the form of the UN Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict, the UN Special Adviser on the Responsibility to Protect, and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. An additional argument is that the dispute be taken before the UN Security Council and be addressed directly by the appointment of a Special Envoy by the UN Secretary General (which could be a dual appointment with the Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue). This would push forward the move to a negotiated settlement through raising international censure of the situation, enabling the formation of a resolution regarding funding streams for the combatants and providing the independent mediator that both parties say they desire with the support of the Secretary General. The Anglophone crisis remains one that is constitutional in nature and is resolvable through political means.\nDr Carl Turner, Conflict Resolution Analyst.\nIn 2019 there were two blogs regarding the Anglophone crisis that provide more background to the conflict and can be accessed at: https://wordpress.com/post/turnerconflict.com/1848 and https://wordpress.com/post/turnerconflict.com/1851.", "domain": "law"}

The program provides rebates to private well users for up to $5,000 for the installation of PFAS treatment or up to $10,000 for a service connection to a public water system.\nEligible private well users would be able to document an exceedance of a regulated PFAS compound(s) with no offer of alternate water from a third party. An exceedance would be a result above New Hampshire’s Ambient Groundwater Quality Standards (AGQS) for four PFAS compounds, which are: 12 parts-per-trillion (ppt) for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA); 15 ppt for perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS); 18 ppt for perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHxS); and 11 ppt for perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA).\n“New Hampshire leads the country in identifying PFAS contamination and acting on those findings,” said Governor Chris Sununu. “These rebates will go a long way to help hundreds of homeowners affected by PFAS contamination to connect to clean drinking water sources or install treatment systems for their homes.”\nNHDES has collected more than 7,200 PFAS samples from approximately 6,200 wells across the state and has identified several thousands of locations that exceed one or more of the AGQS. While there are provisions in state rules for parties that are responsible for contamination of groundwater to remedy water supply wells that violate AGQS, not all PFAS contamination found in the state has been attributed, either technically or legally, to a responsible party. In instances where there is no identified responsible party for a contaminated water supply well, the burden of providing safe drinking water resides with the well owner. Third parties have addressed over 1,000 wells that exceed AGQS for PFAS by providing alternate water, either temporarily or permanently, in accordance with state rules.\nIf NHDES sampled your well, an email or letter will be sent out to you indicating that the program is accepting applications. If you sampled your well yourself or hired someone else to sample your well, please email firstname.lastname@example.org. Eligible applicants can be reimbursed for the installation of treatment or a service connection back to September 30, 2019.\n“This innovative PFAS Removal Rebate program provides helpful funding for homeowners burdened with the costs of treating wells contaminated with PFAS above New Hampshire’s drinking water standards,” said Bob Scott, Commissioner of the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services.\nFunding for the program is provided by the New Hampshire Drinking Water and Groundwater Trust Fund and surplus funding from the State General Fund authorized under HB 1547. For more information on the program, including eligibility requirements and a link to the application, visit the PFAS Removal Rebate Program for Private Wells webpage.\nNHDES will host a webinar for affected private well users Wednesday, August 3, 2022, at 6:30 p.m. to introduce and discuss the specifics of the rebate program and to answer questions.\nTo register to attend the webinar, click on the following registration link.", "domain": "law"}

There is a rare consensus on the need for change right across the board – NHS staff, medical royal colleges, professional associations and national charities all support the case for fewer larger surgical centres, new national quality standards and stronger networks of care.\n“The consultation – which we undertook with an honest and open mind – was the largest carried out by the NHS and respondents were staunch in their support of the need for change. There is nothing in the Court’s judgment that supports the Claimant’s accusations that the consultation was a “rubber stamping” exercise. The judge in fact found that:\n“This was a comprehensive consultation, lasting a matter of months and prompting 77,000 responses. Thought and care was given to the consultation process both as to its content and implementation.

Those responsible for, and involved in, the setting up and implementation of this process aimed to provide one which was informed, detailed and transparent”.\n“This case has focused on a narrow technical point relating to whether 450 sub-scores generated by the Kennedy panel should have been available to respondents to consultation. The Joint Committee of PCTs itself chose not to examine the sub-scores as it did not believe that it had either the expertise or the evidence to second-guess the panel’s conclusions. For the same reason the sub-scores would not have assisted respondents to consultation. Respondents were provided swathes of documentary evidence to consider during consultation, including a detailed 155 page narrative report prepared by the panel.\n“The panel members agreed their scores after a rigorous on site assessment of the surgical units. I believe that most respondents – of whom there were around 77,000 – would have been very surprised had the JCPCT chosen to substitute its own scores for those of the independent panel, which is in essence the foundation of the Claimant’s case.\n“We do not yet know what the Court will decide in terms of next steps. We are making representations to the Court that it should not quash the decision in its entirety as the Claimant seeks. Once we have the Court’s judgment on this point we will strongly consider the possibility of appeal.\n“The Claimant wishes for the NHS to abandon its plans for the reconfiguration of children’s heart services against the express wishes of the vast majority of respondents to consultation. I never forget that the purpose of our work is saving lives and improving quality of life for children, and on behalf of the NHS I want to reassure families, patients and clinicians that we remain as determined as ever to reconfigure services for children with congenital heart disease in the interests of better outcomes and a more safe and sustainable service for children and their families.”\nWhat happens next?\nSafe and Sustainable will continue. The NHS is determined to reconfigure services in England for children with congenital heart disease. Patients, families and NHS staff have waited too long for change. Professional associations, medical royal colleges, national charities and independent experts first called for change following the tragic circumstances of unnecessary deaths following heart surgery at Bristol nearly two decades ago.\nWe need to understand whether the Court will quash the JCPCT’s decision in its entirety, as the Claimant seeks, or whether it will impose a less draconian remedy. We are making representations to the Court that a quashing of the decision would be unfair and unnecessary. Once we have the Court’s judgment on this point we will strongly consider an appeal if we believe that this would enable us to reach a final decision on reconfiguring children’s heart services in a reasonable timeframe.\nThere are several elements of ongoing work of planning for implementation that will continue. The Clinical Implementation Advisory Group (comprising representatives of the relevant professional associations) will continue its work to develop new quality standards for Children’s Cardiology Centres and District Children’s Cardiology Services, and the development of Children’s Congenital Heart Networks.\nProfessor Terence Stephenson, Chairman of the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges, said:\n“The Academy recognised that the Safe and Sustainable review concluded that fewer larger surgical centres and the development of local networks of care will improve cardiac services for children based on the evidence of their review of the evidence linking volume of cases to outcomes. Change remains a matter of urgency – it is 12 years since the report of the Bristol Inquiry was published and patients have waited too long for improvements to be made.”\nProfessor Sir Roger Boyle CBE, former national director for heart disease and stroke commented:\n“After waiting so long for change and coming so close to making real improvements for children with congenital heart disease, it is very disappointing to hear that Save Our Surgery’s judicial review has been upheld on a technicality. There is widespread support among the medical royal colleges and professional associations for pooling children’s heart surgery into fewer, larger centres and developing networks of care. Parents and clinicians across the country have been calling for change for many years. The quality and safety of the service is paramount and further delay is most unwelcome. Making changes to NHS services is never easy but I call upon the NHS to redouble its efforts and ensure these vital improvements are introduced as quickly as possible. It’s incumbent on the NHS to see this through; anything short of that would be to fail children and their families across the country.”", "domain": "law"}

It is likely that any given person will be involved in at least one serious automobile accident during his or her lifetime. This article explores when a car accident may result in litigation.\nIf you are involved in a car accident, you may benefit from reviewing these suggestions about what to do after a car accident, and from consulting a personal injury lawyer.\nLitigation After Car Accidents\nNot every car accident will result in litigation. Where nobody is injured or injuries are minor, it may be possible to resolve all claims for medical care and property damage directly with the drivers' car insurance companies. The greater the damage or injury that results from a car accident, the more likely it is that a lawsuit will follow.\nCauses of Car Accidents\nThere are a wide variety of possible causes for automobile accidents, including:\nDriver Error - The most common cause of car accidents is driver error. Common errors which contribute to accidents include failure to yield the right of way, following too closely, driving at excessive speeds, unsafe passing, and disregard of traffic control devices.\nDistractions - When the driver's attention becomes diverted from the road, the chances of an accident increase. Distractions may occur from outside of the car, such as when something at the side of the road draws a driver's attention. Distractions also occur inside cars, such as where the driver attempts to read or put on makeup while driving, change CD's in the CD player, dials a cellular phone, or attempts to parent an upset or unruly child.\nIntoxication - Motorists whose ability to drive is impaired as a result of the consumption of alcohol or drugs are more likely to cause car accidents.\nBad Weather - Sometimes, bad weather conditions will contribute to an accident by interfering with visibility, diminishing traction on the road surface, or otherwise making it more difficult to drive a car. A driver should take the effects of the weather, such as strong cross-winds or slippery roads, into consideration when driving. Sometimes the weather will cause an unexpected hazard, such as black ice or flash flooding, which may not be detected by a driver until it is too late to avoid the hazard.\nRoad Design - A poorly designed roadway, intersection, or means of controlling traffic can at times cause or contribute to an accident. Poorly placed and poorly designed road signs or barriers can cause unnecessary injury when vehicles collide with them. At times, such defects will result in liability by the governmental agency responsible for the design and maintenance of the roadway, although governmental immunity may apply.\nRoad Conditions - The conditions of a roadway can be bad for a number of reasons, including weather, poor design or maintenance, or the presence of objects or debris on the roadway. Such factors can cause or contribute to accidents.\nVehicle Defects - At times an accident will result from a defect with a driver's vehicle, such as a tire blowout, brake failure, or other mechanical failure. Sometimes the injuries suffered in an accident will be made worse by a design or manufacturing defect with a vehicle, such as a design defect which makes an SUV more susceptible to rolling over in an accident or a gas tank more likely to ignite in a collision, or a manufacturing defect which causes a seatbelt to fail or an airbag to deploy improperly.\nMost automobile accident litigation involves two vehicles, with a driver or passenger from the first vehicle claiming that the driver of the second vehicle caused the accident through negligent driving. Sometimes the litigation will involve the driver and passenger of a single vehicle, with the passenger claiming injury as a result of the driver's negligence. At times, litigation will be against a governmental agency which is alleged to have failed to properly design or maintain a roadway or intersection. Car accident litigation may also include a product liability claim against the manufacturer of a vehicle or part of a vehicle, alleging a design or manufacturing defect which contributed to the accident. A claim might also arise against a mechanic or service center whose work left a vehicle in a hazardous condition.\nSpecial issues can arise in automobile litigation which make it more difficult to litigate a car accident claim, which make additional parties potentially liable for injuries, or which must be considered during the course of litigating a case. Special issues arising from the accident itself include:\nHit-and-Run Accidents: Where the driver who causes an accident fails to stop at the accident scene, it may be difficult for the victim of the accident to later identify the at-fault driver so as to bring a lawsuit.\nCar-Pedestrian Accidents: Where a motor vehicle collides with a pedestrian, the pedestrian will often suffer catastrophic injury. Pedestrians often have difficulty making claims against drivers, with accidents frequently attributed to the conduct of the pedestrian.\nCar-Motorcycle Accidents: Motorcycle drivers are susceptible to serious injury, even in collisions which would be relatively minor had they occurred between cars. Some suggest that motorcyclists suffer from a predisposition by juries to blame them for causing an accident, even where the driver of a car was clearly negligent.\nCar-Bicycle Accidents: Bicyclists are vulnerable to serious injury when hit by cars, and are aslo susceptible to having drivers open car doors in front of them - a hazard which can cause them to be caterpaulted over the car door in a collision. Drivers often report that they did not see the bicyclist until after the collision, or that they misjudged the bicyclist's speed. Some bicyclists engage in very hazardous actions, such as ignoring traffic signals or riding on the wrong side of the road, making an accident much more likely. The most severe and lasting injuries to bicyclists tend to be head injuries, so helmet use is encouraged.\nBus Accidents: Bus accidents can be quite serious, given the size and mass of a typical bus, and the fact that passengers are usually unrestrained. Special issues can arise in accidents involving school buses, and in the context of loading and unloading passengers.\nSemi Truck / Tractor-Trailer Accidents: The drivers of \"big rigs\" are subject to state and federal regulation, governing how many hours a day they can drive, how much sleep they are to get each night, and the condition and maintenance of their trucks. Drivers typically get paid by the mile driven, and thus have a strong incentive to ignore rules which limit their driving time. Obviously, when a semi truck causes an accident, the consequences to any smaller vehicle and its passengers can be devastating.\nAfter-Market Vehicle Modifications: Where a vehicle has after-market modifications, such as being raised or lowered, having powerful or tinted headlights or foglights intalled, or window tinting, those modifications may affect both the safety of the vehicle for its occupants and the hazard posed by the vehicle to other drivers.\nAccidents Caused by Road Debris: Where road debris causes an accident, whether in the form of objects or parts which have fallen off of vehicles, or debris that is kicked up from the roadway and collides with another vehicle, it can often be difficult to determine who was at fault for the presence of the debris on the road. States may also limit liability based upon how long the debris was on the road.\nSpecial issues which may affect liability include:\nGovernmental Immunity: States may limit an injury victim's ability to sue when the driver of the vehicle that causes an accident is a governmental employee who is working at the time of the accident, or where the accident involves a government-owned vehicle.\nOwner Liability: Where the driver of a vehicle has the owner's permission to operate that vehicle, many jurisdictions will hold the owner jointly liable for injuries caused by the driver's negligent operation of the vehicle.\nEmployer Liability: Where an employee is driving a vehicle \"on the job\", or as the lawyers might say \"within the course and scope of employment\", the employer may be jointly liable for injuries caused by the employee's negligent driving conduct.\nCellular Phone Usage: In a number of states, courts are increasingly receptive to the argument that where a driver who causes an accident is talking on a cellular phone, the call was work-related, and the driver's employer expects employees to handle work-related phone calls while driving, the employer may share liability for an accident caused by the employee.\nThe insurance problems car accident victims have with insurance coverage typically fall into three categories:\nUninsured Driver - Where the at-fault driver is uninsured, it can be difficult for a person who is injured in a car accident to obtain appropriate compensation. Where the injured person is uninsured, states are increasingly modifying their laws to limit the uninsured accident victim's right to sue for pain and suffering damages. Many drivers carry \"uninsured motorist coverage\" through their own automobile insurance policies, so that they have a source of compensation in the event that the other driver fails to carry insurance or cannot be identified.\nUnderinsured Driver - Similar to the uninsured driver, some drivers carry inadequate insurance coverage, often at the minimum level required by state law. Many states have very low insurance requirements, which unfortunately means that some of the worst drivers on the road carry inadequate coverage due to the high cost of insurance which results from their bad driving records. Some carinsurance companies offer underinsured motorist coverage, so drivers can protect themselves in the event that they are in an accident caused by somebody who carries inadequate coverage.\nInsurance Company Bad Faith - When people make claims with their insurance companies, they sometimes run into difficulty with the insurance company's refusal to negotiate the claim fairly. For example, an insurance company may refuse to offer fair value for a \"totaled\" car. In \"no fault\" states, where drivers insure for their own accident-related medical care, it can involve the improper denial of coverage or reimbursement by the insurance company.\nStatute of Limitations\nAnybody who is considering bringing a legal claim as a result of a car accident should note that their ability to pursue their claim will be limited by the statute of limitations of the jurisdiction where the accident occurred.", "domain": "law"}

The subject seems saturated with disinformation and literary garbage. My kudos go to Sherry, who takes the right approach here. She skillfully attacks and puts to rest some of the more blatant myths not with biased counter opinion, but with forensic truths. I’m a strong proponent of this method to solving the puzzle and so I greatly admire this book. It is a must read for those seeking facts instead of fallacy.\nBarry Krusch, Author –“The Case Against Lee Harvey Oswald” and “The 21st Century Constitution”\nOne of the primary keys to understanding the JFK assassination case is understanding how the rules of the game were violated in practically every area; ludicrously substandard Secret Service protection, ludicrously substandard autopsy procedures, and a ludicrously substandard Dallas Police Department investigation. Sherry fills an important hole in JFK research, showing how the Dallas Police Department violated protocols that were in place as early as the 1950s. The reader can take this information and start to put the pieces of the puzzle together: could there really have been so many unintentional failures in so many different areas within a 24-hour period?\nCyril Wecht, MD, JD, Author –“From Crime to Courtroom,” “Mortal Evidence,” “A Question of Murder,” and “Cause of Death”\nThe passing of a half century has not dulled the intensity of interest and consternation regarding the death of President Kennedy. Indeed, as more information is tediously extracted from official government files and new technology is utilized in analyzing the scientific aspects of this matter, the percentage of Americans who reject the Warren Commission’s conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald was a sole assassin continues to grow. Ms. Fiester’s fascinating, extensively researched book presents a powerful and cogent basis for repudiation of the WCR. A true literary dissection performed with a sharp analytical scalpel.\nIan Griggs (UK), Author –“No Case to Answer”\nI have met many so-called “experts” during four decades spent researching the Dallas case, but Sherry Fiester has proven herself to be a genuine expert in the true and legal meaning of the word. “Enemy of the Truth” is a major contribution to the research community; proving Sherry is certainly doing her part in revealing the truth of what happened in Dealey Plaza.\nJim Marrs, Author – Crossfire, Our Occulted History, Rule by Secrecy and The Terror Conspiracy\nSherry Fiester separates scientific fact from informed speculation and uninformed theories. Follow Fiester’s lead as she takes the reader down the tortuous path of winding complexities of forensic science in relation to the Kennedy assassination as she explodes one myth after another.\nLamar Waldron, Author –“Watergate: The Hidden History” , “Ultimate Sacrifice” and “ Legacy of Secrecy”\nSherry Fiester’s excellent new book is sensible, well informed, and methodical—things that are often all too rare in books about the assassination of President Kennedy. Drawing on her extensive forensic and law enforcement background, her careful analysis uses the most recent studies and evidence to debunk important myths that still surround JFK’s shooting. Even when covering technical or complex issues, her book is easy to follow while still conveying important information. I highly recommend it.\nLarry Hancock, Author –“Someone Would Have Talked,” “NEXUS,” and The Awful Grace of God”\nForensics science has advanced significantly in the decades following the 1964 inquiry into the death of President Kennedy. Contemporary scientific methods have invalidated or brought into strong question the techniques used in the assassination investigation. Yet, up to now no experienced, law enforcement criminalist has stepped up to the challenge of re-examining the President’s murder with current day knowledge – until now. In Enemy of the Truth, Sherry Fiester does just that; and anyone with even a passing interest in JFK’s murder needs to examine her analysis and conclusions.\nPhil Dragoo, Historical researcher\nI find Fiester's work to be quietly significant in the manner of an iceberg or tectonic shift with forensic analysis that provides all-important clarity. Her placement of the source for the head shot is stunning. So many grains at so many feet per second, at a certain angle to the horizontal with a given azimuth, entering the right temple, exiting the right occipital parietal, taking with it hope for peace.\nStuart Wexler, Author –“The Awful Grace of God”\nSherry Fiester’s treatment of the ballistics evidence is even-handed, accessible and insightful. She clears away the misconceptions about what the evidence shows and doesn’t show, opening up the reader to her informed and original approach to what happened in Dealey Plaza.\nVincent Palamara, Author –SURVIVOR'S GUILT: The Secret Service and The Failure To Protect The President and JFK: The Medical Evidence Reference\nFiester has written a masterpiece on the JFK assassination that embraces the scientific method, not just the same theory-driven work we see time and again from countless authors on this case. This is not a book you will read once and then consign to the dust bin of history; far from it. \"Enemy of the Truth\" is a fine work that you will find yourself refering to again and again.\nWilliam LeBlanc, Certified Forensic Crime Scene Investigator\nForensics can be a complicated subject, yet Fiester provides the reader with easily understood, accurate, information. Enemy of the Truth is so comprehensive in its approach, this work should be used in the instruction of all new crime scene investigators nationwide.", "domain": "law"}

The Action alleges that Defendant willfully and intentionally violated the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Action of 2003 (“FACTA”). FACTA requires that all but the last five digits of a consumer’s debit or credit card number be deleted from the credit or debit card receipts presented to customers at the point of sale. Specifically, Lee alleges that Defendant violated FACTA by providing its customers with credit or debit card receipts displaying more than the last five digits of the card number.\nWhy is this a Class Action?\nIn a class action, one or more people referred to as Class Representatives (in this case there is only one, Henry Lee) sue on behalf of people with similar claims. All of these individuals are Settlement Class Members and together they constitute a Settlement Class. One court resolves the issues for all Settlement Class Members, excect for those who expressly exclude themselves from the Settlement Class.\nWhy is there a Settlement?\nThe Court did not decide in favor of Lee or The Body Shop. Lee believes he would have prevailed at trial, while The Body Shop maintains that Lee would not have prevailed at trial. There was no trial. Both sides have agreed to a settlement, as to avoid the risks inherent in trial, while simultaneously providing the affected Settlement Class Members with an opportunity to receive compensation. The Class Representative and the attorneys for the parties believe that it is in the best interest of all Class Members to settle the Action on the terms generally set forth herein, in order to avoid the uncertain outcomes, risks and delays associated with further litigation.\nHow do I know if I am part of the settlement?\nFor settlement purposes, the Court has certified a Class consisting of all people who meet the following definition:\nAll persons who used a debit or credit card to make a purchase at any of The Body Shop’s retail locations in the United States and whose electronically-printed receipt displayed more than the last five digits of that person’s debit or credit card number, during the period from April 23, 2014 to January 14, 2016.\nIf you receive Notice of the settlement by mail or email, according to The Body Shop’s records, you are a Settlement Class Member.\nWhat can I get from this Settlement?\nIf the Court approves this settlement, you will receive a $12.00 gift card for use at The Body Shop. This gift card will be treated the same as cash, toward the purchase of any items for sale, including discount items and promotions, and which can be used to pay applicable tax on the purchase. The $12.00 gift card can be redeemed, either in whole or in part, at any of The Body Shop’s retail locations or online at www.thebodyshop.com/en-us/. The $12.00 gift card can be combined with any other transaction except for prior purchases and, once activated (which must be done within 175 days of the mailing of the gift card and activation code to you) will never expire.\nWhen will I receive these benefits?\nYou will receive these benefits within approximately 30 days after the Court enters a Final Approval Order. This estimation is premised on the assumption that no objections are received and the Order is not appealed.\nI want to be a part of the settlement. What do I do?\nIf you received a notice by email or mail, you do not need to do anything to be a part of the settlement. If you did not receive a notice by email or mail, but between April 23, 2014 and January 14, 2016 you used a debit or credit card to make a purchase at any of The Body Shop’s retail locations in the United States and the electronically-printed receipt displayed more than the last five digits of your debit or credit card number, you can file a claim to join the settlement.\nWhat am I giving up to remain in the settlement?\nBy staying in the class, all of the Court’s orders will apply to you, and you give Defendant a “release.” A release means that you cannot sue or be part of any other lawsuit against Defendant about the claims or issues in this lawsuit regarding the display of debit or credit card numbers prior to the Class Closing Date.\nHow much will the Class Representative receive?\nThe Plaintiff, Henry Lee, will receive a payment of $4,000.00 for his services to the Settlement Class Members. This payment is subject to the Court’s approval.\nHow do I get out of the Settlement?\nAs a Class Member, you have the right to exclude yourself from the Settlement Class and the Settlement Agreement. This is referred to as Opting-Out. To exclude yourself from the settlement, you or your duly authorized agent must mail a letter stating that you want to be excluded from the Henry Lee v. Buth-Na-Bodhaige, Inc. d/b/a The Body Shop, Case No. 2017-L-000604. Be sure to include your name, address, telephone number and your signature.\nYou must mail your exclusion request so it’s postmarked no later than September 7, 2020, to the claims administrator:\nThe Body Shop FACTA Settlement\nc/o Atticus Administration\nPO Box 64053\nSt. Paul, MN 55164\nAn opt-out notice that does not include all of the foregoing information or that is sent to an address other than the one designated in the Notice as noted above or that is not received within the time specified, shall be invalid. No Class Member, nor any person acting on behalf of or in concert or in participation with a given Class Member, may request the opt out of any other Class Member(s) from the Class.\nIf I exclude myself, do I still receive benefits from this settlement?\nNo, you will not receive anything resulting from the settlement, but you will have the right to assert the claims raised in this case against The Body Shop on your own. If you exclude yourself, the time you have in which to file your own lawsuit (called the “statute of limitations”) will begin to run again.\nDo I have a lawyer in this case?\nThe Court has named Joshua C. Dickinson, Thomas W. Hayde and Robert L. Lash as Class Counsel. You will not be charged for these lawyers; however, they will receive a payment from the Defendant in an amount to be determined by and approved by the Court. If you want to be represented by your own lawyer, you may hire one at your own expense.\nHow will the lawyers be paid?\nThe Body Shop has agreed that Class Counsel is entitled to an award of reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses payable from The Body Shop. The Body Shop has agreed not to oppose Class Counsel seeking up to $500,000.00 in combined attorney’s fees and costs. The award is in addition to, and shall in no manner reduce, the amount of benefits due to the Settlement Class. Class Counsel intends to file an application for attorney’s fees, costs and expenses through Final Judgment. The attorney’s fees and costs will be paid by The Body Shop directly.\nIs this a fair settlement?\nClass Counsel believes that this settlement is fair, reasonable, adequate and in the best interests of the Settlement Class. In reaching this conclusion, Class Counsel has analyzed the benefits of the Settlement and the litigation risks that the Class Representative and Settlement Class Members face if the case were not settled, including, among other things, an adverse decision on class certification, an unfavorable outcome on the merits, as well as the expense and length of continued proceedings necessary to litigate this Action The claim asserted on behalf of the Settlement Class against The Body Shop is under FACTA. FACTA is a federal privacy protection statute which restricts the credit or debit card information that can be printed on a receipt and provides for both individual actions and class actions. FACTA damages are available for either a negligent violation or a willful violation. Plaintiff has not alleged a negligent violation in the Complaint. For a negligent violation, the person bringing the suit may recover only actual damages suffered whereas, for a willful violation, statutory damages of between $100.00 and $1,000.00 are to be awarded, and in the Court’s discretion, punitive damages. The person bringing the suit may also recover attorneys’ fees and expenses for prosecuting the suit, if the lawsuit is successful.\nIn this case each Class Member who does not opt-out or exclude themselves from the settlement will receive a $12.00 gift card.\nWhat is the Defendant’s view of this settlement?\nAs stated elsewhere, by settling this lawsuit, The Body Shop is not admitting it has done anything wrong. The Body Shop expressly denies the claims asserted by the Plaintiff and denies all allegations of wrongdoing and liability.\nHow do I tell the Court I do not like this settlement?\nIf you are a Settlement Class Member, you can object to the settlement. In order to object to the settlement or any part of the settlement, you must timely send a letter (or legal brief) to Class Counsel at the addresses set forth below providing (a) your full name and address, (b) the words “Notice of Objection” or “Formal Objection”; and (c) set forth, in clear and concise terms, the legal and factual arguments supporting the objection to the proposed Settlement Agreement, including any legal support you wish to bring to the Court’s attention and a description of any evidence you wish to introduce in support of the objection. Class Counsel will be responsible for gathering and filing the objections with the Court. If you are objecting to the settlement, you may appear at the Final Approval Hearing. If you wish to appear and be heard, your objection must additionally state that you intend to appear at the Final Approval Hearing, your specific objections, and the name, address and telephone of any attorney who will speak or appear on your behalf.\nAny objecting Class Member who fails to timely object in the manner prescribed in the Notice shall be deemed to have waived any objections, shall be foreclosed from making any objection (whether by appeal or otherwise) to the Settlement Agreement, and shall waive their right to appear at the Final Approval hearing. An objector may withdraw their objection at any time.\nYou must mail your objection so that is it postmarked no later than September 14, 2020 to:\nClass Counsel: Joshua C.

Ltd., a not-for-profit organisation set up on the initiative of the Cyprus Chamber of Commerce and Industry in cooperation with leading industrial and commercial companies, is ready to commence operations to satisfy the legal and regulatory requirements pertaining to packaging waste. Green Dot (Cyprus) General Manager Kyriakos Parpounas told the Financial Mirror that Green Dot Cyprus is taking steps to establish a national packaging management system, which once operational will allow Cyprus to meet its EU obligations regarding packaging waste management, recycling and meeting environmental targets. “We are at the last stage before we commence full operations,” said Parpounas, explaining that the relevant permits from the Council of Ministers are expected to be issued soon in order to comply with legislation on packaging waste that has been in effect since January 1, 2006. Green Dot Cyprus is a member of PRO EUROPE, the European umbrella organisation of Green Dot schemes, and aims to provide a cost-effective packaging management system in cooperation with the local authorities (Municipalities) and the public. By joining the Green Dot system, manufacturers and importers of every type of product that needs packaging will be able to fulfil their legal obligations concerning the recycling and recovery of used packaging. The packaging and packaging waste laws set specific targets which have to be achieved by organisations in an individual or collective way. Parpounas explained that as of January 1, 2006 when the legislation came into force, companies are responsible for recovering at least 50% of their packaging waste & recycling 25% of the total with a minimum 15% recycling criteria per packaging material (glass, paper, plastic, metals, wood etc.) More than 110 large Cypriot companies are already either shareholders or members of Green Dot Cyprus with the list growing fast. Some of the names now cooperating with Green Dot include the Shacolas Group, Orphanides, CA Papaellinas, Papantoniou, Carrefour Chris Cash & Carry, Metro, Ambrosia, McDonalds, Lanitis Bros., KEO, Cosmos Trading, Photos Photiades Group, Iakovos Photiades, Electroline, Hadjikyriakos and Mallouppas & Papacostas to name a few. In an attempt to gain valuable expertise, Green Dot has brought in consultants from Belgium to learn from their experience and the overall European experience. Transferring responsibility By virtue of the Law and the Regulations, packagers and importers of packed goods are responsible for collecting and sorting packaging waste and ensuring that such waste is directed for re-use or to authorised treatment facilities. In effect companies have two choices. Either do this on their own or join a collective scheme like Green Dot and in the process transfer their legal responsibilities to the collective system. This may explain the rush with which companies are now joining Green Dot, as it offers them the most cost-effective solution to stay within the provisions of the law, but at the same time, help in efforts to make Cyprus a cleaner and environmentally friendly place. The Green Dot “Mark” Any product with the registered trademark of Green Dot means that the company selling the product is a member of Green Dot. It does not mean that the packaging is from recycled products or that it can be necessarily better used than others for recycling. Parpounas commented that companies producing or importing products bearing on their packaging the “Mark” should contact Green Dot Cyprus to learn about their obligations as soon as possible. Packaging Means every product made of any material of any nature, ranging from raw materials to processed goods, from the producer to the user or the consumer. Packaging consists of (a) sales packaging or primary packaging meaning the packaging of a singly product (shelve packaging); (b) grouped packaging or secondary packaging meaning packaging used to transport products in primary packaging to the point of sale (brown corrugated cardboard or other) and (c) transport packaging or tertiary packaging, meaning packaging used to protect and transport secondary packaging (wooden pallets, straps, wrappings etc.) Parpounas said that once the relevant permits are received, Green Dot will first target the industrial waste groups (b) and (c) with waste collectible at factory level or warehouses, while the primary collection of waste from households in cooperation with the Municipalities will start at a later stage but during 2006. In order to be able to operate effectively, Green Dot requires all member firms to provide it with the actual amount of packaging placed by the companies on the market with the additional requirement to understand and accept that spot checks and audits will be run every year to verify the information. The current legislation allows small operators with up to 5 tons of packaged product sales within a year not to abide by the tough provisions of the legislation. This means that smaller producers or importers, placing in the market under 5 tons a year does not need to join a collective system like Green Dot, but Parpounas is hoping that the drive to go environmentally friendly and the support & persuasion from the government will convince big and small to join. Types of waste Parpounas said the main group of products targeted by Green Dot are paper, plastic, wood, metal and glass (packaging materials). He explained that Green Dot is not a recycling or a waste management company but will help in the development of waste processing companies. At the moment there are a number of small plastic and aluminium recycling plants in Cyprus, and some processing plants for glass, paper and metal waste. The treatment plants usually separate the waste, with the good recycled part used back by the same or another industry to produce the same type of goods, while the residual waste that can not be recycled may be used to produce alternative sources of energy, such as the one aimed for Vassiliko for utilising waste after treatment as an alternative fuel in the production of cement. Culture change Parpounas acknowledges that Cyprus needs a major culture change regarding waste treatment and environmentally friendly policies, but is confident that with the right awareness effort from the System and the government and strict implementation of the law, the public will react positively and cooperate. In any event, Cyprus has no choice since if it does not implement the law then it will be the subject of penalties from Brussels, and from 2013 onwards, will look to even tougher criteria to meet. “Germany, Belgium, France, Scandinavian and other countries have met and surpassed the EU targets on waste management while other member states are behind. Unfortunately, Cyprus is way behind even compared to some of the other new member states, which is why for the good of our country, we need to rush and embrace this concept,” concluded Parpounas.", "domain": "law"}

But intentions often change. The entirety of our existence in this world, and, indeed, of the world itself, is temporal, fluid, in a continual state of flux. If we are to call ourselves human—if we are to trudge successfully through our lives together on an ever-shrinking planet—we need to, if not embrace its ambulation, at least confront it with a degree of mutability.\nDuring the last 365 days in America, 209 have been marred by what the law categorizes as mass shootings—acts wherein four or more people are injured or killed by firearms in one instance and by the same individual or group of people. This is clearly a problem. No matter where your politics carry you, they cannot hold you so firmly as to keep you from acknowledging that something is wrong in our country right now.\nI have three guns. Not one of them is registered, and I have not attended even an hour of instruction on their usage. I have bought ammunition for each of those guns with the same impediments that might prevent me from buying a loaf of bread. My mother has two handguns, she is not sure why. She has also the licensure to conceal them on her person in several states. The training that was required to obtain her permit was but an hour or two, and, still, she has no confidence in her ability to use them.\nI am responsible with my firearms, as, I am sure, many of you are who might be reading this. It is clear, however, that many are not. Aside from the methodical killings that have plagued the news in the latest years, there are a tragic number of deaths and injuries caused by those who are simply irresponsible. I am not pointing merely to accidental shootings, which occur far too frequently, but also to deliberate events brought about by domestic disputes, gang violence, drunken arguments, and on and on and on, ad nauseam. When a person’s temper gets the better part of their sense—when the value of life, and the power of a gun to end it, is only second, at best, to the value of bravado—then, too, and perhaps to a more disgusting degree, is the imprudence of a person evinced.\nWe have placed more legislation in the path to a driver’s license then to gun ownership. There are states in our nation that erect more daunting obstacles before voter registration. I fail to see how anyone can argue logically for this circumstance. When I was fifteen, I acquired a learner’s permit, which I had to maintain for a year before getting an official license. Moreover, anyone wishing to drive legally in America must take a fairly rigorous exam, and periodically renew their license. An eighteen year old with a clean criminal record can purchase a gun from an array of purveyors, with little more than a few dollars and a few days’ time. There are gaping holes in this loosely knit protection that allow small, private sellers and individuals to trade, buy, and sell guns without any criminal inquiry or waiting period whatsoever. Who thinks this makes sense? Why is there no process to educate and license gun owners, and in the process determine their mental and emotional acumen?\nI like guns as much as the next guy. They are fun to shoot. I think that, perhaps, I feel a bit safer with one in my home; although, experience tells me that this in unfounded. I see no issue with gun ownership, so long as its owner is learned and stable. But we do not currently have a system to ensure either of these two things. Of the last fourteen shootings that have garnered large-scale news coverage, all fourteen were carried out with legally purchased weapons. With the exception of one, all had submitted to criminal background checks, and passed them. (The one had purchased his gun from a dealer; but because his background check did not produce a result within three days, it was waived. He then killed thirteen people in Binghamton, N.Y., taking advantage of a huge gap in federal firearms law). Those that passed the background checks were later found to have a trove of offenses and qualities that send up every red flag of our common sense. Some had restraining orders, others had documented histories of domestic violence, the majority had deep-seeded, and largely untreated, emotional problems. The young man who murdered nine people in Roseburg, OR., in October of this year, suffered from acute anxiety, learning disorders, and had been enrolled in a learning center in California for teens with mental disabilities. Another, who killed six people in Tuscan, AZ., was expelled from a community college there because officials on campus found that he presented a serious risk to students and staff. They bought their weapons problem free.\nThe background checks that these individuals submitted to were either flawed, or wholly uncomprehensive. Some failed to find court documents; others overlooked things like domestic disputes or court orders for psychiatric treatment because those are not criminally chargeable offenses.\nThe most recent shooting, in San Bernardino, CA., uncovered such a copious amount of ammunition that I wonder how it was possible for the shooters to obtain their arsenal without bringing the attentions of some authority. But we monitor even less the purchase of bullets. They were able to stockpile thousands upon thousands of rounds, from major store and the internet, that they could have sustained a firefight for days before running low. It concerns me greatly, and it should everyone, that we can go into a Bi-Mart and buy up their entire stock of 9mm rounds without anyone so much as batting an eye. I am hard-pressed to believe that the person looking at my license, to confirm my age, has even the concern to do that.\nStill more troubling is the ire-laden backlash that these events seem to inspire in their wake from opponents to stricter gun control. As the victims of the Paris shootings were being mourned, Black Friday gun sales set a new record, leading to nearly 200,000 criminal background checks in a one day period. Now, how can it be expected that a thorough investigation of so many individuals can possibly take place in such a cramped window of time? The reality is that many of those sales went through with waived checks, because of the loopholes in the law forcing the FBI to complete its inquiry in three days, or else heedlessly approve it. This topped the previous record sales, and subsequent background checks, set on Black Friday, the year after 26 were killed, mostly children, in Newtown, Conn., in 2012.\nI am not suggesting that we ban guns. I don’t know that I agree with outlawing assault weapons, even (by that logic, we should not be allowed to buy sports cars, or Rolex watches). I think that, anytime we place wholesale restrictions on anything, not only do we provoke contestation of those laws we place, but we cause many to pay for the crimes of few. Our country was not founded on those principles. Our country was founded, though, on a sense of enlightenment, a pride in the human ability to grow and adapt.\nFor a long time, it has been argued that stricter gun control infringes on our constitutional rights. But there are rights that extend far past the constitution. There are human rights, and one of those rights is that we should all be free to live without everyday fearing that someone might come walking into our workplace, our school, or our movie theater and start viciously spraying bullets. We have the right to feel safe. Our current gun laws are effectually stomping this right into the dirt. The right to security is vastly more important than any right to purchase firearms without federal interrogation.\nWe have to remember also that the U.S. Bill of Rights was written and ratified in a context nearly 225 years apart from our own. It was a provision, in large part, to imbue citizens with the duty to protect the country in the face of foreign invasion or domestic uprising. The country had an armed force of 6,000 soldiers, at the time, meant to protect a vastly expanding population and geographic sprawl. The Second Amendment was a fiat that citizens were to form the major defensive force of the nation, not that citizens had the right to enjoy the possession of arms.\nIt is a different time. We have one of the largest armies in the world, and a population of over 320 million, from varying backgrounds, with vastly disparate beliefs and abilities. I’m not arguing that qualified persons should be barred from owning guns; but, I do advocate making a lot more hoops for us to jump through. If that means that some might have to give up their guns, so be it. If they want to get them back, then it will be worth the time and effort that we should require of them to do so.\nIt is simply too easy for anyone to be armed in our country. We have the highest gun related crime rate of any developed country, and the loosest gun laws. There is more regulation in earning the ability to cut someone’s hair professionally, then there is in buying a twelve-gauge shotgun, and all the rounds for it that one can carry, and more. We can’t buy Sudafed, in some states, without putting our names on a list, and presenting identification. I’ve never heard of any flu-ridden person complaining that their liberties are being trounced by the state when they go to the Walgreens pharmacy.\nWe need to see this for what it really is. It is not a matter of either banning all guns, or letting them circulate freely (as they seem to do now). It need not be so polarized, so black and white. It need not be a fight between two completely contrasting ideologies. It need not be a political battle. It is a mandate for the safety of a people. It is a matter of tightening the belt on an extraordinarily dangerous tool. Take a look at your driver’s license; remember the process of earning and maintaining that. Were your rights impinged upon?\nA lot of people will say that guns don’t kill people, people do. But that only brings up one half of the equation: people with guns kill people—with guns. It is true that the problem is not the gun itself. It is but a tool; by itself, it is harmless. It is the hand that the gun gets into that presents the danger. We need to require gun owners to be thoroughly educated and licensed. It is wholly sensible. Furthermore, we need to submit to holistic, rigorous inquiry into every sphere of ourselves. We cannot have such unstable people with such fast and deadly methods to betray their conditions.\nWe have to realize that compromise is not an expletive. We have to come to terms with the fact that our rights, as detailed in the Constitution, are interpreted and reinterpreted over the years to fit the time. I value my right to safety and security before my right to purchase a firearm without interference. I have never been given, in any palpable strength, that safety or security from the guns I do possess, but knowing that those around me who have them have gone through an exacting and onerous process to own and operate their guns would. We can’t expect a cure-all, but we can certainly try harder than we do to keep weapons away from those who obviously should not have them. We have highway laws, environmental and economic laws; we submit ourselves to federal investigations virtually every day; we enjoy a great many things, in safety, at the helm of our government, without regard at all, other than the advantage we glean from them. It is time to catch up to the context that we now live in.Nothing can stop, altogether, these awful things from happening in our country—in our world—but our right to safety gives us the duty to make it much harder for people to carry out such horrible violence. Our right to safety and security ought to take precedence over our right to arms, because how much security can a gun give you when so many people, who wish to rid you of all your rights, are brandishing weapons too. If the answer to being safe from gun violence is simply to own guns ourselves, then we have truly regressed. For, in a world governed by that logic, bullets will be piercing the air like so many particles of dust. When you fight fire with fire, everyone gets burned; and if the winner is made to suffer injury, while the loser lies dead, is there a winner at all?", "domain": "law"}

It forces us to do our best. A monopoly renders people complacent and satisfied with mediocrity.\nCompanies are often unaware that certain anti-competitive decisions and actions on the market violate the Law on Protection of Competition. For example, they deal with direct competitors on the division of markets or prices, impose to customers the price at which they have to sell their product, along with other producers boycott a common supplier, they demand from their buyers to sell only their products in a given category. These are but a few examples of anti-competitive moves by companies, and because of such practices they could be fined up to 10% of annual revenue, thereby significantly undermining their reputation. Given the low level of knowledge in this area and a significant risk of punishment by the Commission, we see a large area of possibilities how we can help our customers through education and continuous consulting.\nWe have been dealing with these issues since the foundation of our company. We were engaged in major cases of abuse of dominant position, restrictive agreements of both horizontal and vertical nature, as well as in the application of restrictive agreements and concentrations. Our team, driven by knowledge and expertise, can create and implement an integrated Antitrust Compliance program for your company, but can provide answers to many questions through continuous consulting.\nSome of the most common questions are: Do I even need to notify the Commission of the concentration, what is a relevant market for me, is my rebate policy transparent and whether it complies with the sales contracts, am I the dominant player in the relevant market, are certain specific contractual clauses anticompetitive, should the Commission be notified of this agreement regarding the exemption from the ban, and many other issues. We have cooperated for several years in continuity with a few major clients who are dominant players in their markets.\nWhat type of services do we offer in this segment?\n- Consulting with the aim of eliminating abuse of dominant position\n- Development of economic studies for the needs of clients against whom the Commission has initiated proceedings\n- How to repot concentration to the Commission\n- How to repot restrictive agreements to the Commission\n- Analysis of sensitive contracts\n- Harmonization of sales / discount policies with the law and practice of the Commission\n- Introduction of corporate antitrust programs (manual, training, continuous consultancy)", "domain": "law"}

The surrender is an unconditional, permanent termination of the biological parent’s rights.\nThe law imposes a number of procedural hurdles to ensure that the surrendering parent understands the consequences of what he or she is doing. The surrendering parent has the right to withdraw the surrender if the parent does so in writing within 10 days of executing the surrender.\nUnder certain circumstances it is possible to have the Court involuntarily terminate the biological parent’s rights. The Court may involuntarily terminate the biological parent’s rights if it finds any of the following:\n(1) That the child has been abandoned by the parent;\n(2) That the parent cannot be found after a diligent search;\n(3) That the parent is insane or otherwise incapacitated from surrendering his or her rights;\n(4) That the parent has failed to exercise proper parental care or control due to misconduct or inability as defined by law;\n(5) That the parent, for a period of one year or longer immediately prior to the filing of the adoption, has without justifiable cause significantly failed to communicate or to make a bona fide attempt to communicate with the child in a meaningful, supportive, parental manner; or\n(6) The biological parent, for a period of one year or longer immediately prior to the filing of the adoption, has without justifiable cause significantly failed to provide for the care and support of the child as required by law or judicial decree.\nThe Court must still find that an adoption is in the child’s best interest even if a termination of the biological parent’s rights is authorized. The Court will appoint an agent to thoroughly investigate the adopting parent’s background, including a criminal background check and a home evaluation.\nAdoption is a huge step for the adopting parent as well as the child. If the adopting parent and his or her spouse ever divorce then the adopting parent has an obligation to continue financially supporting the child. He or she could also seek custody of the child in a divorce action. Furthermore, the adopting parent and adopted child acquire inheritance rights from and through each other the same as if they were blood relatives.\nIt is very important to hire an adoption attorney with a significant amount of experience handling adoptions, particularly when the adoption is contested by the biological parent. There are numerous deadlines that must be strictly followed.

Unfortunately, many are unaware that they are – or were – eligible for hundreds or even thousands of dollars worth of tax refunds, credits and exemptions they didn’t claim. The IRS has more than $1.1 billion in unclaimed tax credits and refunds from 2007, but time is running out. Those who were eligible in 2007 can still claim this money if they file by April 18.\nMany people don’t realize that they can retroactively file returns or amend previously filed tax returns and receive refunds for up to three prior tax years. People who learn they were eligible for a certain exemption or tax credit from 2007, for example, can still file a return for that year and receive that money – but only until April 18. The IRS owes hundreds or even thousands of dollars to people who didn’t know they were eligible for that money. It is critical right now for families to not leave any money lying on the table; and many people are leaving hundreds of dollars untouched simply because they don’t know it is there.\nOne tax credit that can be confusing is the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). A common misconception exists that a person must also claim a child as a dependent on their tax return in order to receive the EITC. This is not true. A person can claim this credit if the child in question lives with them for more than 50 percent of the year and otherwise qualifies them for the EITC.\nA “qualifying child” (the child who qualifies the household for the credit) can be a son, daughter, adopted child, stepchild, foster child or descendent of any of them, such as a grandchild. A brother, sister, stepbrother, stepsister, or a descendant of any of them, such as a niece or nephew, also will qualify the household to receive the credit. The person who has a qualifying child living with them for more than 6 months out of the year may be eligible for several hundred dollars. People must meet income guidelines and have earned income to receive the credit. The size of the credit varies depending on the amount of adjusted gross income.\n2010 Tax Year EITC Income Limits\nEarned income and adjusted gross income (AGI) must each be less than:\n- $43,352 ($48,362 married filing jointly) with three or more qualifying children\n- $40,363 ($45,373 married filing jointly) with two qualifying children\n- $35,535 ($40,545 married filing jointly) with one qualifying child\n- $13,460 ($18,470 married filing jointly) with no qualifying children\n2010 Tax Year maximum credit\n- $5,666 with three or more qualifying children\n- $5,036 with two qualifying children\n- $3,050 with one qualifying child\n- $457 with no qualifying children\n*The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) provides a temporary increase in EITC and expands the credit for workers with three or more qualifying children. These changes are temporary and apply to 2009 and 2010 tax years.\nPeople who do not earn enough to be required to file an income tax return also are at risk for missing the EITC because filing a return is the only way to claim it. To understand who is at risk for failure to claim the EITC because they don’t have to file a return, see the rules about who must file at http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p501.pdf. People who owe no taxes can still get the EITC. Finally, many workers who are at least 25 and under 65 may not know that they can qualify for an EITC benefit for low-income workers who do not have children living in their homes.\nUnemployment or change of income mid-year can cause people to miss the EITC and certain other tax credits and refunds because those who made enough money to be ineligible for many credits last year, may not think to claim them this year if they suffered a loss or reduction of income. It is very important for families to understand and take advantage of all the credits that exist.\nThe rules can get tricky. You can read more about the Earned Income Tax Credit, find eligibility screening tools, and find information about locating free help with taxes at http://www.irs.gov/individuals/article/0,,id=96406,00.html?portlet=2.\nThere have been several other tax credits available during the last three years, including Residential Energy Credits, the Child and Dependent Care Credit, Child Tax Credit, Additional Child Tax Credit, Homeownership Credits, Missouri Property Tax Rebate and others.\nIf you find out you were eligible for tax credits in the three prior tax years, you can amend your return by filing a 1040-X or, if you didn’t file at all, still file a past return now. There will be no penalty if you didn’t owe any taxes or were due a refund. While 2007 returns must be filed by April 18, returns for any year since then can still be filed for at least the next year.\nCall 1-800-TAX-1040 at the IRS for additional information about federal tax credits or 573-751-3505 at Missouri Department of Revenue for information about state tax credits or the Missouri Property Tax Rebate for elderly or disabled low-income renters or homeowners.", "domain": "law"}

Such proof shall include passport, identity card, student card or any other such document that contains a recognisable photograph and date of birth. Failure to produce such evidence immediately upon request may result in the concession being withdrawn and payment being requested amounting to the difference between what has already been paid and the full published adult price.\n16. Attractions, Highlights & Stops\nAttractions, highlights and stops visited during fulfilment may have specific reservation rules, payment procedures, health & safety rules and terms & conditions which shall be applicable in full in conjunction with these terms & conditions. Your BusyBus Escort will provide the details for these (if available) upon request.\nAs in any product and service of this type, you are entirely responsible at all times for your own safety and for that of others, especially whilst off the vehicle. Going off any unmarked pathways, through closed gates, barriers or otherwise is done so entirely at your own risk and no responsibility can, or shall, be taken by BUSYBUS in such an instance. If in doubt, please ask.\n17. Personally Escorted\nSome BusyBus tours are fully escorted by at least one member of BusyBus staff who is suitably trained in matters relating to the tour. Their knowledge and training includes BusyBus rules and procedures, health & safety, general first aid, geographical matters and local fact information. All BusyBus vehicles are supplied with an Operating Manual that shall include vital information about the tour, route, emergency procedures, hospitals, etc.\nWhere seat positions are not specified, seating assignments will be on a “first come, first serve” basis. In order for passengers to share equally in the comfort of the vehicle and sights of the tour, seats may be rotated in a definite pattern upon request and at the discretion of the Driver or Tour Guide.\nSome BusyBus tours are designed, routed and aimed at an adult audience. It is, therefore, not recommended that pre-speech children take such a tour as they may become bored, distract the accompanying adult from their tour and generally become disruptive to other passengers.\nChildren under the age of sixteen (16) shall not be permitted to use BusyBus unless booked with, and accompanied by, an adult at all times. Full responsibility for children remains with the accompanying adult, including general behavioural control so as not to disturb the other passengers.\n20. Special Needs\nUnfortunately, BusyBus is currently unable to offer special or modified vehicles to accommodate disabled or special need passengers requiring a wheelchair or other such mobility assistance and/or special seating. It is our intention to operate such a modified vehicle in due course but for the time being please discuss matters of this nature with us prior to booking and we will make every effort to accommodate special needs accordingly. We reserve the right to require persons who are unable to travel independently to be accompanied by a companion who is able to provide any necessary assistance and take full responsibility accordingly.\n21. Animals / Pets\nAnimals and pets shall not be permitted to use BusyBus with the exception of a registered and documented guide dog in accompaniment of a visually impaired person. Full responsibility for such an animal remains with the accompanying person, including feeding, hygiene and general control so as not to disturb the other passengers.\n22. Passenger Comfort\nFor the comfort and safety of all our passengers, the use of alcohol, tobacco and non-prescribed drug products is strictly prohibited on our vehicles at all times.\nBusyBus operates within UK laws that include compulsory and statutory insurance against accident and third party liability. Passenger insurance against personal injury, item theft, loss, or any other such event is not included and it is highly recommended that you take out your own Travel Insurance in good standard travel procedures.\n24. Identification Documents\nAs is good practice (but not law in the UK) it is recommended that you carry with you some form of personal identification. This should also include detailed medical information about yourself (if applicable). Such identification is the sole responsibility of each person.\n25. Pick Up and Drop Off\nSome BusyBus tours depart from various locations on the BusyBus route. Upon securing your reservation, you have the choice of joining BusyBus at any one of the three convenient locations offered by BusyBus (Chester – Chester Railway Station, City Road, Chester, Liverpool, World Museum, William Brown Street, Liverpool or Manchester – The Station, Bay A Manchester Airport.) If you need to transfer to one of the departure locations, costs, fees and/or parking charges may apply which will be your responsibility.\nPlease be in a visible location when waiting for BusyBus. We strongly suggest you plan on arriving at least fifteen (15) minutes prior to the departure time. We will endeavour to return you to your drop-off point within fifteen (15) minutes of the scheduled drop-off time but cannot guarantee this due to traffic or other non-controllable influences.\nUnless otherwise arranged and documented at the time of booking, BusyBus will be limited to collecting and dropping passengers only at the places booked. Additional or alternative pick up and drop off points will be at the sole discretion of the driver.\n26. Late Arrival\nIn the interests of all, BusyBus operates a strict time-keeping policy for all pick-ups and will allow only fifteen (15) minutes after the scheduled pick-up time to lapse prior to departing. In the event of missing a departure, then the booking will be deemed as cancelled in accordance with our Cancellation Policy above and the full booking price shall be forfeited. In such an instance, it shall be the passenger’s sole responsibility to travel further if required. No compensation, consequential losses, additional travelling costs or other such claim shall be accepted in such an unfortunate event.\nDuring a tour, it is the passenger’s responsibility to return to the vehicle or group on time, as agreed with the Tour Escort at each stopping point. Only fifteen (15) minutes shall be allowed to lapse after the scheduled meeting time prior to departure. Every effort shall be made to seek out a late person but in the event of a passenger missing departure, and the remainder of the trip, then the tour will be deemed as cancelled in accordance with our Cancellation Policy above and the full tour price as stated on the booking form shall be forfeited. In such an instance, it shall be the passenger’s sole responsibility to travel further (or return to the tour starting point). No compensation, consequential losses, additional travelling costs or other such claim shall be accepted in such an unfortunate event.\nPassengers may bring with them, or accumulate, baggage that shall be of a suitable size so as to fit in the rear luggage compartment, overhead storage racks or under the seat. Child pushchairs, golf sets and additional baggage are also permitted as long as they are suitably folding and portable so as to fit into the bus’s standard storage compartments. We will eventually get Van Shelving to have more storage space in the back compartment of our buses. It is best to check with BusyBus prior to bringing or purchasing any large item. BusyBus will not accept any liability for loss, damage, breakage, theft, general handling or otherwise of any baggage.\n28. Overall Enjoyment\nBusyBus will not accept responsibility for your overall enjoyment. Whilst every effort will be made to maximise your pleasure and experience, it is accepted that every person’s preference and tastes are unique and it would be impossible to satisfy all of our customers all of the time. However, BusyBus recognises that its own success is dependent on word of mouth referral and prioritises customer satisfaction accordingly.\n29. Weather Conditions\nBusyBus will not accept responsibility for last minute alterations or cancellations due to weather or other related circumstances that are beyond our control. In the event of such an occurrence, you will be offered an alternative tour date or cancellation in accordance with the Cancellation By BusyBus clause above.\n30. Traffic & Road Conditions\nBusyBus will not accept responsibility for delays or otherwise due to traffic and/or road conditions or other related circumstances that are beyond our control. In the event of such an occurrence, no compensation, consequential losses or other such claim shall be accepted.\n31. Vehicle Breakdown or Immobilisation\nBusyBus will not accept responsibility for last minute cancellations, delays or other related circumstances due to vehicle breakdown or immobilisation. In the event of such an occurrence, no compensation, consequential losses or other such claim shall be accepted. If this occurrence happens after departure BusyBus shall be responsible for returning you to your confirmed drop-off point within a reasonable time.\nIn so far as our duties extend in providing a professional, safe and fit-for-purpose product, BusyBus, its staff and its agents shall not be liable for any injury, loss, expense, damage, accident, delay, irregularity, stranded individual, personal negligence, weather, quarantines, sickness, disease, act of God, Government restriction, legal regulation or otherwise which are adjudged to be out of BusyBus’s control.\nBusyBus, it’s staff and it’s agents shall not be liable for any injury, loss, expense, damage, accident, delay, irregularity, stranded individual, personal negligence, weather, quarantines, sickness, disease, act of God, Government restriction, legal regulation or otherwise for any individual or company furnishing sub-contract services, transportation, attractions, accommodation or any other product or service in connection with a BusyBus Tour.\nIt is clearly stated, understood and agreed that, to the fullest extent to which liability may be excluded or avoided, BusyBus will have no liability, whether in contract or otherwise, for any losses, costs or damages, and in no event will be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, punitive, expectancy or consequential damages, even if they are foreseen or foreseeable, arising or resulting from, or related to, the services and products of BusyBus.\nIn all cases, the maximum liability payable by BusyBus shall not exceed the total fee collected for the provision of the goods and/or services provided.\nBusyBus provides its service strictly on an “as is” basis without warranties of any kind, either expressed or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose. Your UK statutory rights are unaffected by our Warranty terms.\nBusyBus is not responsible for, provides no representations, warranties or guarantees with respect to, and will not be held liable in any way for any content, information, services or material on any third party supplier, including, without limitation, any third party recommended, named or utilised by BusyBus during a tour.\nIt is clearly stated, understood and agreed that, to the fullest extent to which warranty may be excluded or avoided, the maximum warranty payable by BusyBus shall not exceed the fee collected for the provision of the goods and/or services provided.\n34. Reserved Rights\n1: The right is reserved to make operational changes at any time, whether to the route, itinerary or otherwise, with or without notice, which is considered necessary prior to departure.\n2: The right is reserved to cancel any booking at any time, should conditions or circumstances necessitate, offering substitutes of equal value or a full refund without administration charge or penalty as detailed under our Cancellation by BusyBus clause above. If circumstances warrant such action a full and documented reason shall be provided.\n3: The right is reserved to require persons who are unable to travel independently to be accompanied by an adult companion who is able to provide all necessary assistance and take full responsibility accordingly.\n4: The right is reserved to decline to accept, or retain, any person as a member of the passengers at the discretion of the Tour Guide or Driver. If circumstances warrant such action a full and documented reason shall be provided and an equitable cash amount without penalty or administration charge shall be refunded in accordance with our Cancellation by BusyBus clause above. In such an instance, it shall be the passenger’s sole responsibility to travel further (or return to the tour starting point). No compensation, consequential losses, additional travelling costs or other such claim shall be accepted in such an unfortunate event.\nReasons for such action shall include, but not be limited to:\n- Violent, racist, verbal abuse or other such unacceptable behaviour.\n- Failure to comply with the laws of the United Kingdom.\n- Drunk and disorderly behaviour.\n- Misuse of un-prescribed drugs.\n- Refusal or failure to comply with health & safety issues.\n- Refusal or failure to provide suitable evidence of entitlement to partake in a tour.\n- Refusal or failure to pay the correct fee for taking a tour.\n- Any other behaviour deemed disruptive, dangerous or insulting to other passengers.\n- The right is reserved to re-allocate an unsecured booking at any time.\n- The right is reserved to make alterations or changes to these Terms & Conditions at any time, ensuring that customers with existing bookings receive the latest copy prior to taking their booking.

Force Majeure\nExcept where otherwise expressly stated in these conditions, we cannot, and will not accept liability or pay compensation where the performance or prompt performance of our contractual obligations is prevented or affected by, or you otherwise suffer any damage or loss, as a result of “force majeure”. For the elimination of doubt, in these conditions, “force majeure” means any event which we, or our sub-contractors, could not, even with all due care, foresee or avoid.

He will be sentenced for the crimes Oct. 18.\nProsecutor Ryan Love said he was surprised by the plea, which came on the day a jury was to be selected to try Bernal.\n“We were not making any (deal) offers to him,” Love said.\nJames Rook, 43, of Cincinnati, Ohio, and his wife, Margie, 41, died June 24, 2006, when Bernal's truck collided head-on with their car on U.S. Highway 331 in Walton County.\nArnulfo Morales, known as Jose Barrintos Bonta, a 28-year-old passenger in Bernal's pickup, also died as a result of the wreck.\nCourtesy Walton County Department of Corrections\nBernal was further charged with severely injuring Magan Doherty, 14, a passenger in the Rook car, and Jorge Rivera, 41, another passenger in the pickup.\nNeither the state attorney's office nor the Walton County Jail could find proof Bernal was a legal resident at the time of the deadly accident and surmised he was in the U.S. illegally.\nThe jail had his country of residence listed as Mexico, and no Social Security number for him was in its records.\nDefense attorney Michael Weinstock said he advised his client to plead after Walton Circuit Judge Kelvin Wells agreed to cap the maximum sentence for Bernal at 55 years, as mandated by state sentencing guidelines.\nThe number of deaths that occurred as a result of the wreck gave Wells leeway to set aside guidelines and order a life sentence, but the judge agreed to the cap, Love said, after the family of the victims went along with it.\n“This is probably in Mr. Bernal's best interest,” Weinstock said of the plea agreement. “But we were prepared to go to trial and actively defend him on this.”\nThe Rook family had begun arriving in DeFuniak Springs for the trial when they were notified of Bernal's decision to enter a plea. Some were expected to record statements later this week that will be played at sentencing.\nFamily members were traveling in a three-vehicle caravan from Cincinnati and had arrived in Walton County at about 5 p.m. on the day of the fatal wreck.\nThe Rooks were accompanied in the lead car by their 14-year-old daughter, Kylie, and Kylie's friend, Magan Doherty.\nBernal was driving his pickup truck north and had passed another car, the Florida Highway Patrol said. Bernal lost control, overcorrected and crossed the center line into the Rooks' path.\nKylie Rook received minor injuries. Doherty was listed in critical condition at Gulf Coast Medical Center in Panama City the day after the wreck.\nThe Rooks' son, Chris, was driving behind them in another car when the crash happened. He was unharmed.\nPete Wolniewicz, a volunteer with the Okaloosa-Walton chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving, had intended to “monitor” the Bernal trial this week.\n“We in MADD are tracking this sort of thing,” he said. “We had planned to be in court just to keep abreast of what was going on in the courtroom.”\nWolniewicz said the Bernal case is one of “five or six” pending in the two-county area that MADD is paying attention to.\nDaily News File Photo\nEmergency workers transport the injured to hospitals in the photo from June 25, 2006.

We have been notary publics for over 30 years but still have the lowest prices in town. You can find us six days a week, Monday through Saturday, at our religious goods store, Miracle on Main Street.\nMiracle on Main Street\n1718 E.

One document with two signatures is $17. Two documents signed by one person is also $17. Three documents signed by two people is six signatures = $37. You're welcome to call for an exact price for your circumstances.\nWhat to bring:\nWhat type of identification is acceptable? State law is very specific.\nWhat is a notary public?\nA notary public is essentially a disinterested third party paid witness.\nWhat will happen when you appear before the notary?\nWhere do I get blank forms?\nBecause of liability issues, notaries do not carry blank forms. You can pick up common blank forms such as quitclaim deeds, grant deed forms, and Powers of Attorney from most office supply stores such as Staples, Office Depot, or Office Max. These usually have complete instructions for completing the form. If you are in doubt about which legal forms to use or how to complete them, you should contact an attorney. A good on-line source for free forms is the Sacramento County Public Law Library. This source also has links to other form providers.\nCan wills be notarized?\nWills are a very special type of document and can actually be invalidated (voided) if notarized. Generally, the rule of thumb is that you only notarize wills if an attorney has told you to do so or if you have purchased a preprinted form and the instructions tell you to do so.\nSomeone has promised to pay me some money. Can the promissory note be notarized to make it legal?\nYes and no. First, the fact that you have an agreement to pay, even orally, may be a completely legal binding agreement. However, there are many laws regarding contracts that an attorney should be used if the dollar amount is high. A notary can witness the signing of the document. The important signer will be the person who has promised to pay the money. In this case, the notary is stating the the signer signed in front of the notary. The advantage of this is that the signer cannot later claim that he did not sign.\nGetting paid is something entirely different. If the borrower does not have the money, the lender, regardless of whether a document was notarized or not, will not get money that doesn't exist. The notarized document says that the borrower will pay, not that he can pay. The notarized document will only help in court because the borrower will not likely be able to claim that they didn't sign the document.\nThese notary forms are available for the notary to use on site:\nLegal Disclosure: Nothing herein shall be construed as legal advice.

As the name implies, this type of loan is secured by a real estate property through a document /contract called a Deed of Trust. The arrangement requires a neutral third party known as the trustee to hold the borrower’s property in trust until they pay off the loan.\nAlright, enough with the technicalities. This comprehensive guide compiled by real estate financing experts at RTI Bridge Loans reveals everything you need to know about trust deed loans, including:\n- The basics of a trust deed\n- How trust deed loans work\n- The elements of a trust deed loans agreement\n- Trust deed vs. mortgage (similarities and differences)\n…and much more. Let us get started.\nTable of Contents\n- » What is a Trust Deed?\n- » How Does a Trust Deed Loan Work?\n- » What does a Trust Deed Loan Include?\n- » Differences Between a Trust Deed vs. Mortgage\n- » Get a Trust Deed Loan in California\nWhat is a Trust Deed?\nAlso known as Deed of Trust, a trust deed is an agreement between a lender, borrower, and trustee designed to secure a real estate loan transaction. The lender (beneficiary) gives the borrower (trustor) funds to purchase a real estate property in exchange for a promissory note, and the trustee holds the legal title to the home until the borrower pays off the loan.\nThe trustee is a neutral third party with bare or legal title to the property. Their primary responsibility is to auction the property when the borrower defaults on payments. They pay the sale proceeds to the lender to the extent of the unpaid debt.\nWhat if the trustee is unable to sell the property? Then, they should give the property to the beneficiary. Some states mandate the use of trust deeds in real estate financing, while others offer the choice between the mortgage and trust deed. No state accepts a combination of both options. However, there are a few states that use other similar-sounding documents to secure loan transactions. For instance, security deeds in the State of Georgia.\nHow Does a Trust Deed Loan Work?\nIn a trust deed loan agreement, a lender finances a home purchase. The borrower (trustor) gives the lender a promissory note to guarantee that they will repay the loan. The promissory note highlights the trust deed loan terms, including the interest rate. The trustee holds the title to the property while the lender pays off the loan.\nBased on the conditions defined in the trust deed, the lender can compel accelerated payment of the loan, take the property back, or have the trustee sell it. The lender keeps the promissory note, while the borrower only keeps a copy. It is marked as fully paid when the property buyer pays the trust deed loan entirely. Following defaults, the trustee has the authority and duty to sell the property.\nThat in mind, let us delve into the three parties to a trust deed:\nIn a real estate transaction, the trustor is the party whose official legal title to a property is put into the trust (put another way, the borrower).\nThe title specifies the actual ownership of the property. And while the title is held in the trust, you (as the trustor) still have equitable title to the property, provided you stick to the terms and conditions of the trust deed. That gives you the right to live in the property and gain equity even while repaying the loan.\nThe beneficiary is the individual or company whose investment interest is being protected. In most real estate transactions, it is the lender. The deed of trust serves as the beneficiary’s guarantee that the trustor will pay the loan off.\nThe trustee holds the legal title to the property as the trustor makes the loan payments. They should be neutral and not do anything that unduly benefits the rest of the parties.\nWhen you pay off the loan at or before the end of the term, the trustee dissolves the trust and transfers the property title to you. When the trust deed loan enters default status, it is the role of the trustee to sell the property pledged as the loan collateral.\nThe borrower retains some rights during the foreclosure process. After the trustee files a notice of default with the county, the trustor has a particular time length (typically two weeks to four months) to reclaim the property by completing all required payments, including fees.\nForeclosure sales under trust deeds follow different procedures from judicial foreclosures, which have stringent parameters and higher accountability levels. Most states do not require judicial supervision for trust deed foreclosure sales.\nUpon sale completion, the trustee distributes the proceeds between the lender and the borrower. The beneficiary receives the money needed to clear the debt, while the borrower gets the remaining amount.\nWhat does a Trust Deed Loan Include?\nA trust deed loan agreement must contain particular pieces of information to qualify as a legally binding document. The details include :\nIt is the amount of money the trust beneficiary lends so the trustor can purchase a property. Typically, the principal amount is equal to the home’s market value minus the down payment. The figure lets the borrower know exactly how much they should pay to pay off the debt and dissolve the trust.\nLegal Description of the Property\nA property’s legal description is not the street address but the official description on file with the county.\nThe standard option is the metes and bounds description, which defines the property’s boundaries identified by natural landmarks such as roads and rivers. Alternatively, the legal description can specify the subdivision’s official name, the block number, and the specific lot in question.\nIt is the time frame in which the trustor must pay off the loan. If you are negotiating with an individual, the loan length could be anything you both agree upon.\nWith traditional lenders, the period for trust deed loans ranges anywhere between 8 and 30 years, depending on the loan type and borrower’s financial capacity.\nTo save on interest, you can clear the debt before the end of the term. However, such a course of action is subject to the loan agreement terms.\nYou may need to fulfill specific requirements to obtain a loan through a trust deed. For example, the lender may require you to occupy the property as your primary residence for a certain period. Some may demand that you pay mortgage insurance for a particular duration or even throughout the loan term.\nAsk about late payment fees, particularly the amount and when the payments become due. For example, the loan payments may be due on the third of each month, but the trust deed loan agreement may stipulate that the late fees be assessed if you fail to submit payments by the 15th of the respective month.\nPrepayment penalties may apply. This policy subjects the borrower to a fine if they pay off the trust deed loan before maturity.\nPower of Sale Clause\nThe power of sale clause authorizes the trustee to conduct non-judicial foreclosure when the borrower fails to meet their obligations under the promissory note and trust deed. That eliminates court involvement and speeds up the sale process, as long as the parties adhere to the terms outlined in the deed of trust.\nAcceleration and Alienation Clauses\nThese clauses have different triggers but a similar impact on the trustor.\nAn acceleration clause becomes applicable when the trustor is behind payments. Depending on the terms, this clause may take effect immediately if the borrower misses a single payment or even after several non-payments. The lender pursues foreclosure proceedings if the trustor fails to pay off the loan within a duration specified by the acceleration notice.\nAlso known as the due-on-sale clause, the alienation clause takes effect when the lender wants to prevent anyone who purchases the property from assuming the loan under its present terms. The clause entitles the lender to full payment of outstanding loan balance and applicable fees and interest when the trustor sells the property and transfers the title.\nAnother trigger for the alienation clause is when the lender tries to put the property in an LLC. LLC’s limitation of liability might limit the lender from holding you accountable for the loan. That is why they could leverage the alienation clause to demand full loan payment before the transfer.\nDifferences Between a Trust Deed vs. Mortgage\nWe can organize the trust deed vs. mortgage discussion in similarities and differences between the two real estate arrangements.\n- Neither is a home loan: Neither a deed of trust nor a mortgage is a home loan. You use a home loan to buy or build a new home – a property you do not own. In comparison, a mortgage or trust deal loan is a contract that places a lien on a property you already own.\n- The lender can foreclose your home: Should you fail to fulfill your obligations defined by a deed of trust or mortgage, the lender is entitled to foreclose your home to recover their debt. The foreclosure may vary between the two loans, but the ultimate goal remains the same.\n- Both are subject to state laws: State laws will dictate your lender’s choice of contract. In some states, only a trust deed is legally accepted, while in others, lenders can only offer mortgages. Some states like Michigan and Alabama allow lenders to choose between mortgage and deed of trust.\n- Type of foreclosure: The foreclosure process varies depending on the type of contract. If you have a mortgage, your lender will follow a judicial process to recover the loan through a foreclosure. If it is a trust deed loan, the law allows the beneficiary to pursue a foreclosure without involving the courts.\n- Foreclosure length and expense: It takes longer and more money to foreclose on a mortgage because the lender has to go through the courts. With a trust deed loan, the lender invests less money and time on foreclosing a home.\n- The number of parties: A mortgage involves only the lender and borrower. Trust deed adds a neutral member to make the total number of parties equal to 3. The trustee is usually an escrow company whose attorney kicks off the foreclosure process when you default on the trust deed loan.\nGet a Trust Deed Loan in California\nDo you want to grow your real estate portfolio without financial constraints and stringent bank processes?

What is the Principal Amount?\nIt is the loan amount the trustor owes the beneficiary. Once the borrower starts making the payments, the loan balance becomes the Principal Amount.\n2. Interest Adjustment Date vs. Maturity Date: What is the Difference?\nThe interest adjustment date is the date when the interest starts to accumulate on your loan. The maturity date is the date when the final payment of the loan balance becomes due.\n3. What is an Annual Prepayment of the Principal?\nIt is an option that allows you to pay a percentage of the original principal amount each year before the maturity date. The arrangement can help you save a ton of money on interests and build equity faster.\n4. Where Do I Get My Property’s Legal Description?\nThe County Recorder’s Office should provide the complete legal description of your property as long as you present your municipal address or tax parcel number.\n5. Can I Sell a Property with a Trust Deed?\nYes, you can; however, you will require the lender’s approval. The proceeds from the sale will be used to pay off the lender, and you get to keep the remaining amount. The trustee ensures appropriate disbursement of the money.", "domain": "law"}

They look at the brochures and view the pictures, visit the site and immediately write a contract. But wait! You need to know some things before you buy a home in Florida. If you don’t know exactly what you are getting into, the consequences can become very costly. Having a knowledgeable and trusted licensed real estate professional who can advise you about asking the right questions could save you thousands of dollars in closing costs.\nImportant Information To Consider Before Buying Your Home\nThe most important advice we can share with our customers is simple, “buying your dream home in Florida can be exciting and enjoyable,” but get lots of information first. You’ll find it right here on our website—it is filled with information pertaining to purchasing a home in Northeast Florida.\nDeed Restricted Communities\nPurchasing a home in a deed restricted community may seem very confusing at first. Many homes and condos in Northeast Florida are in planned developments, both gated and un-gated. These types of communities are governed by homeowner's associations where the residents are required to comply with the recorded documents for how the property may be used. This is especially important when considering whether you may rent a second home, keep a beloved pet, or the number of guests you may have stay with you at one time, to name just a few. The term for this type of community is \"deed restricted\". The homeowner documents require that you comply with the rules and regulations of the community and pay some amount of fee for the upkeep and maintenance of the project.\nIn Florida if you buy a new construction condominium you have fifteen (15) days to review the documents and decide if you wish to proceed. If it's an existing condominium then you only have three (3) days. Both of these time periods begin from the date when you receive a copy of the documents to review. Do not waive this time period – even if you need an attorney to review them – these documents control how you may use your property in the future and what you will be required to maintain.\nThese are just \"some\" of the issues you should be aware of before you decide to buy a home in Florida.

Food marketing campaigns targeting youth integrate food packaging, websites, mobile applications (apps), and viral marketing techniques to get children and teens to request and consume unhealthy food and beverage products. Our research into the digital marketing tactics currently being deployed with children and teens found a number of clearly articulable and specific state consumer protection law issues that warrant regulatory oversight.\nState governments are at a critical juncture with respect to ensuring the future health of their residents. Diet-related disease threatens the current and future well-being of children and teens. The Centers for Disease Control projects that by 2050, 1 in 3 U.S. adults could have diabetes.2 The number of diabetics living with limb loss is projected to triple by 2050, and African American and Hispanic diabetics are almost 3 times as likely as non-Hispanic white diabetics to lose a limb.3 Medical costs associated with diet-related disease are projected to rise between $22 and $48 billion per year by 2030 with a substantial portion paid for by Medicare and Medicaid.4 This chronic disease burden begins in childhood when eating preferences and food culture are ingrained. Food marketing plays a major role in the foods children and teens desire, perceive as tasting good, request their parents to buy for them and ultimately purchase for themselves. State oversight of digital food marketing is integral to protecting vulnerable child and teen consumers.\nThe state consumer protection approach\nThis report focuses on how state consumer protection law can be used to limit harmful digital food marketing to children and teens. State consumer protection laws grant state attorneys general (SAGs) broad authority to protect consumers from unfair and deceptive marketing. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and self-regulatory bodies like the Better Business Bureau's Children's Advertising Review Unit (CARU) have, to date, been the primary players in oversight of food marketing to children. The magnitude of the health threats posed by diet-related disease and their impact on state healthcare systems is on par with tobacco-related disease. As occurred with tobacco marketing, intervention by SAGs is the game-changer needed to accelerate progress on food marketing to children.\nState law profiles\nTen states were selected based on the percentage of the child population residing in the state, prior SAG action to address food marketing, prior SAG action to address digital marketing in general, scope of consumer protection authority granted under state law, and geographic diversity. For each of the ten states we generated a digital marketing legal profile of laws and regulations beyond general prohibitions on unfair and deceptive acts and practices that might be used to curtail digital food marketing to children. See Appendix for AR, CA, CT, FL, IL, MA, NY, OR, TX and VA state profiles.\nDigital food marketing tactics selected for legal analysis\nDigital food marketing encompasses a broad range of tactics. Marketing tactics were selected for state consumer protection legal analysis based, in part, upon whether the tactic:\n- Is material to the purchase of a food or beverage item by a child, teen or, in some cases, a parent\n- Is unaddressed by self-regulatory guidelines (e.g., marketing targeting adolescents)\n- Falls outside of the scope of the FTC's current rulemaking authority (e.g., unfair advertising to children)\n- Has been the subject of prior self-regulatory enforcement, but remains relatively unchanged and widespread\n- Exploits age-specific vulnerabilities of child and teen consumers.\nThis report also covers personal jurisdiction issues related to digital food marketing and federal preemption of state regulation of mobile food marketing.\nKey digital food marketing characteristics\nDigital food marketing works in conjunction with traditional marketing campaigns using television, print media, and food packaging. There are, however, some key differences between digital and traditional food marketing tactics:\nDigital marketing is harder for youth to identify as marketing: Digital food marketing works in conjunction with traditional media such as television, print media, and food packaging by integrating websites, mobile applications (apps), viral marketing techniques and location-based tactics to get child consumers to request and consume unhealthy food and beverage products. Research into children's ability to identify digital marketing as a form of advertising indicates that digital marketing is harder for them to identify than traditional television commercials.\nA 2013 study explored the ability of children versus adults to recognize advertisements embedded in mock webpages.5 Adults identified all of the advertisements, but 6-year-olds identified just one quarter, 8-year-olds about half, and 10-year-olds identified about three-quarters of the advertisements shown. The study authors noted that similar studies of children's ability to identify television commercials have found that children can identify commercials as distinct from programming by the age of six and understand persuasive intent around 8 years of age. Thus, digital advertisements are harder for children to identify as marketing than television commercials.\nDigital marketing tactics such as food-company produced websites and apps with engaging, branded content for children likely are even harder to identify than advertisements embedded in webpages. Whether or not young consumers can even identify marketing that utilizes new media as advertising is a key starting point when analyzing whether or not digital food marketing is unfair or deceptive to its target audience of child consumers, because deceptive marketing in the form of entertainment or news has been deemed a deceptive trade practice with adults.6\nMarketing is no longer a one-way communication: Traditional marketing tactics delivered a commercial message on television, radio or in print, and that was the extent of the communication. The new food and beverage marketing is interactive, delivered online and via handheld devices, and is driven by huge caches of data that consumers generate when they make online or mobile purchases. Marketers have unprecedented access to consumer data that can be used to target and tailor marketing messages to maximize sales.\nPath-to-purchase: The \"path-to-purchase\" model of marketing integrates physical location, purchase and consumption history, and prior engagement with unhealthy food and beverage marketing to guide consumers as they make food purchasing decisions. This tactic may seriously undermine public health efforts to reduce the consumption of unhealthy foods and beverages. As the core demographic for junk food marketing and heavy mobile device users, teens are prime targets for path-to-purchase marketing.\nThe power of social marketing: Social media marketing is designed to get consumers to share commercial messages. It is most successful when young consumers share commercial content without realizing that they have become marketing proxies for large corporations.\nKey consumer protection findings\nState consumer protection laws have yet to fully catch up to advances in digital marketing, but there exist many opportunities for SAGs to play a more robust role to protect children and teens from harmful digital food marketing. The following are key areas where SAGs can play a productive role using their existing legal authority:\nUnfair and deceptive food packaging: Food and beverage packaging is a prime jumping-off point for children into the digital marketing world. Food packaging often directs children to company websites for activities, videos, and contests. Product packaging is a major loophole in CFBAI's self-regulatory framework governing the nutritional quality of foods marketed to children under 13.7 The integration of digital marketing components into food packaging is designed to prolong children's exposure to unhealthy food marketing and exploits children's natural curiosity. These packaging features are totally unrelated to any actual food product characteristics. As such, they are not governed by the federal Nutrition Labeling and Education Act and are subject to state consumer protection law provisions.\nDisguising advertising as entertainment so that the target audience is unable to identify it as commercial in nature has been found to be deceptive with adults.8 Child-directed codes, invitations to visit a website, directions for how to download a mobile app to play a game or to experience an augmented reality feature designed to interact with packaging are similarly deceptive because they are intended to lead children to engage with content that they likely cannot even identify as advertising.\nPrivacy: Privacy protections are important to protect children and teens from aggressive digital junk food marketing. States have successfully enforced the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) to protect children under 13 years old. Teens, however, are a key target demographic for digital food marketing and are not protected by COPPA. Other state privacy and general consumer protection laws can be invoked to protect them. SAGs can play a vital role to fill the gap around teen privacy, especially with regard to targeted and localized digital marketing.\nAdvergames: The FTC's 2009 report on food marketing expenditures to youth found extensive use of advergames by food marketers.9 Advergames are digital games and apps produced by food companies that integrate products or contain food and beverage company branding. Advergames have been repeatedly cited by CARU for blurring the line between commercial and non-commercial content, yet they remain commonplace and relatively unchanged.10\nThe detrimental impact of advergames on child health is supported by sound research linking them to increased overall calorie intake as the result of increased snacking after playing advergames featuring food.11 Food companies use direct inducements on retail food packaging and on food company websites in order to enhance the advergaming experience. Inducements to purchase that are linked to advergames make the tactic highly material to the purchase of unhealthy food products.\nSuch direct inducements to purchase products linked to advergames are difficult for children to filter or avoid because they simply do not recognize the inducement as marketing. Instead, children view such inducements only as an opportunity to play a game. Children cannot avoid the health harm caused by playing advergames — the powerful cueing effect on eating behavior — because it is deeply subconscious.\nAdvergames offend the established consumer protection law principle against deceptive marketing in the form of entertainment or news that a reasonable member of the target audience likely will not recognize as marketing. Advergames violate this principle because children likely perceive advergames simply as entertainment and not as a form of marketing. All of these factors render the use of advergames with young children an unfair trade practice.\nSimilarly, advergames are a deceptive trade practice, because children likely cannot recognize advergames as marketing. This means that children are likely to be misled into requesting or purchasing products in order to play games.\nDigital sweepstakes and contests: Incentives-based, interactive marketing uses digital technology to deploy sweepstakes to younger and younger audiences. Complex digital sweepstakes schemes are being deployed by major food companies like Kraft Foods with children 6 to 12 years old. SAGs have primary responsibility for policing promotions and children, who cannot protect themselves, are in need of protection from predatory sweepstakes.\nIn the past five years, CARU has issued 12 complaints against its member companies for sweepstakes and instant win games that exploit children's inability to comprehend that a free means of entry exists or the actual odds of winning prizes.12 Food companies were responsible for half of these cases. CARU's work has uncovered a pattern of abuse in the use of sweepstakes with children under 12 years-old warranting more robust legal interventions by SAGs.\nSweepstakes trigger existing state consumer protection laws governing games of chance and illegal lottery laws. These promotions should be viewed from the perspective of the vulnerable children that they target. Sweepstakes are lawful when they remove the element of consideration. This is done by providing an \"alternative means of entry\" (AMOE). A free AMOE \"allows participants to enter a sweepstakes without purchasing a product, paying money, devoting a substantial amount of time and effort, or otherwise giving anything to the sweepstakes sponsor in exchange for the opportunity to participate.\"13\nYoung children, however, lack the sophistication to understand the concept of \"no purchase necessary\" or that an AMOE exists. A 2004 report by the American Psychological Association on advertising to children found that young children do not comprehend the intended meaning of even the simplest commonly used disclaimers. The report noted that \"fewer than one in four kindergarten through second grade children could grasp the meaning of 'some assembly required' in a commercial,\" and even the use of child-friendly language like \"you have to put it together\" only resulted in half of children being able to understand the disclaimer.14 Young children simply cannot be expected to understand disclaimers conveying that an AMOE exists. When the target audience is not adequately informed that an AMOE exists, sweepstakes are rendered illegal lotteries for failure to remove the element of consideration.\nSweepstakes are the province of state regulators, and industry self-regulation has uncovered widespread use of sweepstakes in ways that exploit children's inability to comprehend that a free means of entry exists and to understand the actual odds of winning prizes. The use of games of skill where young children play simple videogames is also highly suspect as such games may not be adequately skill-based. SAGs have primary responsibility for policing promotions and children, who cannot protect themselves, are in need of protection from these predatory marketing practices.\nThis report also explores how food companies use video games produced by the entertainment software developers as a marketing platform. It contains a guide to social media food marketing using Facebook and Facebook marketing tactics that raise consumer protection concerns for teen consumers.\nExcerpted from State Law Approaches to Address Digital Food Marketing to Youth by Cara Wilking, JD; Mark Gottlieb, JD; Melinda Bonacore; Andrew Cheyne, C.Phil; Pam Mejia, MPH, MS; Lori Dorfman, DrPH; Jeffrey Chester, MSW.

And, to be fair, that’s not an entirely wrong way of looking at it. Accountants help businesses and individuals manage their finances—tracking budgets, organizing and managing to spend, paying bills on time, and predicting future expenses. Lawyers deal with the legal side of things—consulting on real estate transactions, negotiating contracts, and representing clients in a courtroom. But just because they don’t seem like they have much in common doesn’t mean that these two professions don’t often cross paths.\nWhat is contract lifecycle management software?\nContract lifecycle management software is exactly what it sounds like: a software-based system that helps law firms, accounting firms, and other businesses manage contracts through each stage of their lifecycle. It can be used to create new contracts in addition to managing existing ones.\nContract lifecycle management software provides benefits such as easier workflow automation, streamlined document production, faster review processes, and near real-time visibility into contract status across multiple departments or teams within an organization. In addition to these features, contract lifecycle management can also help improve data security by implementing cloud solutions for storing documents securely online rather than locally on individual devices like laptops or desktops at workstations in an office environment where employees may not always follow security protocols correctly.\nLegal & corporate contracts\nIt is a known fact that contracts are an important part of the business. They are used to protect your company from legal issues and financial risks by outlining the conditions, responsibilities, and limitations related to the agreement.\nContracts can be used to protect your business from intellectual property theft as well as ensure that you’re getting your money’s worth when selling products or services. In addition, contracts are also essential for establishing that both parties agree on a set of rules and boundaries for working together; this reduces disputes down the line by providing a reference point for resolving any issues that may arise.\nSmall business manager’s dream\nIf you’re a small business owner, you need to understand how your finances work. You need to know where the money goes and how much is coming in. This will help you avoid problems with cash flow and create projections for your business’s future.\nThis software allows anyone who runs their own business, including accountants and attorneys, to quickly compile financial data into useful reports that determine where their money is going.\nAccounting & financial management simplified\nManaging your firm’s accounting and financial management can be a challenging task. With all the invoicing, payment processing, reporting, and financial management processes you have to deal with, it can become overwhelming. However, thanks to automation software that integrates seamlessly with your accounting system (think QuickBooks), you can simplify these tasks and make them easier for everyone at your firm.\nWhether it’s one-off invoices or recurring ones like monthly retainer agreements or subscription-based services for clients, automated business invoice software allows attorneys and law firms to send out professional-looking invoices quickly through an email link where clients simply click on it in their inboxes to pay online using any major credit card or electronic check from their bank accounts. No more wasting time trying to send out paper invoices via snail mail when everything is done electronically.\nAttorneys who are paid by the hour need an easy way of generating bills for clients so they can pay them easily online without having to calculate their billing rates manually every single time which takes up a lot of precious time during busy seasons like tax season where demand is at its highest peak but manpower isn’t always available due diligence requirements\nContract lifecycle management software can help you stay on top of your contract generation and portability while saving you time and frustration. It can also make it easier to work with those vendors and customers who insist on involving an attorney or external legal counsel during the contracting process. And if you’re an accountant, attorney or law firm yourself, then CLSM will certainly help streamline your processes.", "domain": "law"}

While it can cause panic to lose a resident or deal with an empty property during a crisis, relaxing your guard and your screening protocols will only create more problems.\nRental scammers love to use a crisis to take advantage of property owners with a vacancy to fill. We often find that during a down economy, the volume of rental scams increases. Renters that prey on inexperienced (or desperate) property owners can create expensive problems that put you in a worse financial position than dealing with an empty property. When you can’t evict a bad renter during a crisis, you’re stuck with a problem—indefinitely.\nDon’t resign yourself to a less-than-ideal renter or being overwhelmed by what might feel like a no-win situation: property management is here to help! Here’s what investors need to keep in mind when screening renters during tough times.\nPlease note: This article is not intended as a substitute for the great legal advice of a skilled attorney. It’s designed to help property owners get a little footing during these troubling times for our community. If you need direct legal counsel, reach out to your allies at Reeder Asset Management!\nProfessional Scammers Love a Crisis\nDiscouraged property owners are a prime target for “Serial Squatters.” For example, if your resident stopped paying rent or a lease ended without renewal, you have an empty property to fill—and a scammer is more than ready to move in! Be aware that:\n- Choosing a new renter that seems “okay” on paper might be tempting.\n- Serial Squatters are experts at looking like perfect residents during the application process. They have all of the answers on the application and during an interview.\n- They might even have too-good-to-be-believed references—which should be a big red flag to you during the screening process.\nThese kinds of renters are hard to spot, but that’s where the experience of an expert property manager can help save investors from letting these bad renters move into a property.\nRemember this general rule of thumb when screening renters: if they seem too good to be true, they probably are! Experienced property management professionals can help you avoid these renters, even when tough times tell you that “any” new resident is better than one more month with no renter at all.\nHow to Spot a Professional Scammer\nA thorough screening process is the best tool to dig beneath a “perfect” application and the put-together appearance of these devious renters. When screening applicants, property owners can look for some tell-tale signs that you’re not dealing with an honest, legitimate applicant. Residential property management experts know that Serial Squatters often:\n- Pay cash upfront for the application fee, security deposit, and first month’s rent. Unfortunately, this tactic makes it tempting to approve them to live in your property.\n- Make a big show of how much they know about all things rental law. They’ll offer insights without prompting, and it’s often irrelevant to the interview conversation.\n- Provide fake, scripted references. If more than one reference gives you a similar story about the applicant, they were probably coached!\n- Have gaps in their rental history and multiple evictions. Running a background check reveals these details that you won’t find on the rental application!\nNever approve an applicant until a background check supports the information they put on an application. If you’re not sure your screening process is thorough enough, let a property manager handle it for you.\nScams Don’t fool Property Managers\nWe’ve seen (almost) everything!A good property management company can tell you that professional scammers continue to get more creative in how they trick property owners. Therefore, a property manager with a professional screening process can help keep them out of your Salt Lake City property.\nOur screening process requires these identifying resources:\n- A copy of a driver’s license or state-issued ID\n- Social Security number\n- Date of Birth.\nWith that information, we conduct a background check that includes:\nA Credit Report\nA credit report is pulled to understand an applicant’s financial history better. This information can help landlords determine an applicant’s ability to pay rent on time. A credit report includes an applicant’s credit score, credit history, current debts and obligations, and other information that creditors use to determine an individual’s creditworthiness and whether they can afford the monthly rent.\nPrior Rental History\nA rental history report includes a tenant’s rental history for the past seven years. This report includes the addresses where the tenant has lived, the landlords’ contact information, and the dates of occupancy. It can also let you know if a potential renter has broken a lease in the past, made late rent payments, and if they have had an eviction.\nPublic Records Search\nA public records search includes an individual’s criminal history, including arrests, convictions, and incarcerations. It can also include bankruptcy filings and civil judgments. This can help identify potentially dangerous renters who could damage the rental property or put neighbors in danger. Sometimes good people commit crimes when they are young and foolish. It doesn’t necessarily disqualify a person from renting your property if something shows up, but more questions should be asked.\nA Social Security Fraud Search\nA social security fraud search is the process of verifying an individual’s social security number to ensure that it is not being used fraudulently. This is important because it helps to protect against a potential renter who might try to take advantage using an alias. A thorough tenant screening will also search the National Criminal Alias search.\nSex Offender Registry Search\nA sex offender registry search is a search of state or federal sex offender registries to determine if someone is listed on one or more registries. The information shown includes the individual’s name, date of birth, addresses, photos, and descriptions of their crimes.\nPrevious Landlord Verification\nThere are a few reasons why a landlord might want to speak with a former landlord before renting to a tenant. One reason is to get an idea of how well the tenant paid rent and if they caused any damage to the property. Another reason is to find out if the tenant caused any problems with their neighbors.\nEmployment and Income Verification\nThere are a few important reasons why it’s essential to verify a potential renter’s employment and income. First, it’s important to ensure that the renter can afford to pay rent. You don’t want to end up with someone who can’t pay rent and ends up defaulting on the lease. Second, it’s important to verify that the person is actually employed. Investors don’t want to rent to someone who may not have the financial stability to stay in the apartment for the entire lease term.\nPet Screening (For Pet-Friendly Properties)\nIf you allow pets in your rental properties, you should still perform a pet screening. This information will tell you the type of breed the resident has and whether they could be a danger to others or damage the property. It’s also important to ensure that the renter has a valid pet license and that their pet is up-to-date on all of its vaccines.\nWe leave no detail uncovered related to placing the best-qualified renter in your property. Letting professional property management experts screen your residents also helps protect your investment property from lawsuits. In addition, we follow all fair housing regulations to avoid discriminatory practices during the screening process.\nA Property Management Company Helps Screen Renters During Tough Times\nScam artists love to take advantage of a crisis.

Who’s in charge, and how will decisions be made for the LLC?\nA limited liability company, or “LLC”, is basically a partnership with the legal protections of a corporation. As with a traditional partnership, the partners – or “members” – of an LLC need to decide how decisions will be made. Most LLCs are either “member-managed” or “manager-managed”. The former means that all of the members together manage the LLC, while the latter means that one or more managers will manage the LLC. A partnership is usually governed by a partnership agreement, which sets out how the partnership is governed, and the various rights and obligations of the partners. An LLC has an “operating agreement” that is similar to, and serves the same purpose, as a partnership agreement.\nFor LLCs with just 2 or 3 members, decisions can be made either unanimously or by majority vote (which usually means majority of membership interests, or percentage ownership, and not majority of members). This simple arrangement makes sense if the members know each other well and have a strong relationship based on trust and prior collaboration.\nHowever, for an LLC with more than 3 or 4 members, or an LLC with just 2 members who do not have a shared work history, a more detailed decision-making process is necessary. For routine matters, a simple majority of membership interests is usually acceptable. But what about key decisions, such as admitting new members, or selling the LLC, or changing its business focus, or raising new capital from outside investors or lenders, or incurring significant debt to expand the business, upgrade infrastructure or invest in new technologies? Those are just a few of the types of important decisions that will affect all members.\nA common way of balancing this tension between democratic (majority-rule) governance, and the need to give dissenting or minority shareholders a voice, is to require a “supermajority” vote for such decisions in the operating agreement. The required vote percentage is a matter for the members to agree on, but a common formula is to require the affirmative vote of at least 2/3 of the membership interests. A lower bar would be more than 50% of the membership interests, which is often the same as 2/3 if there are only 3 members.\nIn some cases, even if there are multiple members, one or two members may be the driving force behind the LLC. They may bring all or most of the start-up capital, or they may have highly valuable skills or relationships that will add considerable value to the LLC. The other members may play a more passive role either because they’re investing a comparatively small amount of capital, or they’re contributing only specific or limited services or know-how. In these situations, the members may agree that it’s logical and fair that the “principal members” have disproportionate control over decision-making. In fact, many passive minority members want the driving members to be in control, because of their superior knowledge or skills. Thus, certain key decisions may be left to the sole or joint discretion of the principal members.\n2. Who will fund the LLC if more capital is needed?\nIn the start-up phase of a new LLC, the members will usually discuss an initial budget before the members have made their initial investments. But what if the money runs out before the initial goals are achieved, or before the LLC starts generating revenues? In certain industries like life sciences, it is understood and expected that a start-up will “bleed cash” for months or years before a promised technology achieves success in the marketplace. In most other industries, members would expect to recoup their investment within a reasonable period of time, at most a few years.\nA problem arises when a new LLC burns through cash faster than the members had anticipated. In the start-up world, a common phrase is “runway length”, which is an offhand way of asking how much money – or “runway” – the business has left. For a promising LLC that is desperate for new capital, new investors bringing fresh capital can be expected to exploit those circumstances, and bargain for more equity at a lower valuation. For an “ordinary” LLC that is not shooting for the moon, shortfalls in operating capital can only be remedied if the LLC secures new loans or lines of credit, or if the existing members add to their initial investment, or make additional capital contributions.\nPartnerships refer to the latter as a “capital call”, which is what happens when the general partner (or the manager or majority of membership interests in an LLC) requires limited partners (or other members of an LLC) to make additional capital contributions so that the LLC can continue operating for some period of time. In practice, capital calls are a highly sensitive issue since passive or minority partners or members are reluctant to accept an open-ended liability to make additional investments, especially if the LLC’s prospects are uncertain. Some LLC operating agreements provide that members will not be required to make additional capital contributions against their will. That essentially leaves open the question of who will fund ongoing needs if the LLC’s capital runs low and there are no options for external funding (either new investors or debt). In such event, one or more members will have to step up and invest additional capital for the LLC to continue operating (and in such event, the additional capital will usually increase the membership interest percentage of the contributing members, and dilute, or reduce, the membership percentage of the non-contributing members).\n3. Will the members be allowed to sell their membership interests or exit the LLC ?\nFor any number of reasons, such as a need for liquidity, at some point some of the members may wish to sell their membership interests and/or resign from the LLC. Remaining members might object to a sale because the purchaser of the selling member’s interest will now become their partner as a new member of the LLC. If the purchaser is not reputable, or is competing with the LLC, or has interests that conflict with those of the LLC, the remaining members could be negatively impacted. Alternatively, if the selling member has found a buyer who is willing to pay an attractive price, other members may wish to sell their interests as well.\nResignation may also present issues if the resigning member wants the LLC or the remaining members to buy out his or her interests. Even without a mandatory buy-out, the mere act of resigning could negatively impact the balance of voting power among the remaining members, or result in that member avoiding certain responsibilities or obligations that should be shared equally among the members.\nFor those reasons, it is common for the members to agree in their operating agreement that no member may resign or sell their membership interests without the consent of the other members (either all or a majority of interests). This restriction, for better or worse, places all members on an equal footing.\nIn multi-member LLCs, it is common to include in the operating agreement a restriction sometimes referred to as a “drag and tag”. A drag right means that if a controlling member (usually the holder(s) of a majority of membership interests) finds a buyer who wishes to buy out all of the members and purchase the LLC, the controlling member can “drag” along the other members and force them to sell on the same terms and for the same price. At first glance this right may seem unnecessary, since presumably the controlling members would only sell on favorable terms, and presumably the other members should be pleased to sell on the same terms. However, without a drag right, some of the minority members could hold up the transaction by demanding an even higher price or additional benefits. Also, most purchasers of a controlling interest in an LLC will want to acquire 100% of the membership interests and become the sole owner. A drag right allows the controlling members to “shop the company” without having to negotiate terms in advance with each individual member.\nSimilarly, a “tag” provides that if any member receives a “bona fide offer” from a prospective purchaser, the other members must be notified and offered the right to sell their shares on the same terms, usually on a pro rata basis. For example, if an LLC has 5 equal members (20% membership interests each), and one member receives a buy-out offer, the remaining members would have to be notified and given the same right. If all 4 members choose to exercise that right, then each member could only sell a pro rata portion of their membership interests, or 20% each. It is somewhat rare for a purchaser to want to purchase only a minority interest in a private LLC, but it does happen (e.g., for tax-loss sales among members). As a practical matter, though, the tag right usually applies when a controlling member has found a Buyer that is content with owning only a controlling interest. In that case, the tag right ensures that the remaining members will have the opportunity to sell a pro rata portion of their membership interests in the same “exit event” as the selling controlling member.\n4. What happens if a member dies, or becomes sick or disabled ?\nBecause an LLC is akin to a partnership, the untimely death, illness or disability of a member can raise numerous issues for the LLC and the other members. If the affected member is a passive investor, with little or no involvement in management and direction of the LLC, the impact will probably be minimal. But if the affected member is also the manager, or has specialized skills or knowledge critical to the LLC’s success, that member’s absence will likely have a profound effect.\nThere are several ways to manage and mitigate the impact of a member who passes, or who becomes unable to continue to participate in the affairs of the LLC. One common mechanism is to include in the operating agreement (or in a subsequent agreement) a “buy-sell” agreement. While the terms vary, most buy-sell agreements provide a mechanism to determine the buy-out price of an affected member’s interest, and whether other members can be required to fund the purchase. Alternatively, the members may wish to allow the affected member’s executor, guardian or designated representative to continue holding the membership interest, but without any voting or management rights.\nThough not mandatory, it is both prudent and common for the LLC to take out “key man” life insurance on the members or managers most important to the LLC. This type of insurance protects both the LLC and the other members by providing a death or disability benefit to the LLC itself. In most cases, the LLC would then use the proceeds to buy out the affected member’s interests. However, if the affected member’s family or heirs wish to retain the interest, and the LLC consents, then the insurance proceeds could instead be used to hire new professionals.\n5. How will disputes be resolved?\nJust like the best of marriages, even the best business partnerships will be tested and face their share of ups and downs. Most of the time LLC members are able to work things out by focusing on their shared interests in seeing the LLC continue to grow and be profitable. Still, there are any number of circumstances that may create “irreconcilable differences” among members with equal voting power or other forms of leverage. Just like a marriage that has run its course, an LLC that can no longer be operated by its members, either due to fundamental and irresolvable disputes, or a lack of needed fundings, or some other cause, must be dissolved. Generally that is accomplished by paying off any remaining debts of the LLC and filing articles of dissolution. But, like a dissolving marriage, “business divorces” can similarly range from amicable to deeply hostile. If the members cannot resolve their differences over how to dissolve the LLC (and often, who owes what to whom), often the only recourse is judicial dissolution or bankruptcy. In either scenario, ultimately the courts resolve these issues one way or another. Therefore, it is always best practice to provide a dispute resolution mechanism in the Operating Agreement (a common option is binding arbitration, sometimes with mandatory pre-mediation).", "domain": "law"}

Live phone calls, text messages, and robocalls are all employed by phone scammers in their schemes. Phone scams typically aim to steal money and sensitive information. Phone scammers in New Jersey often disguise identities, but phone lookup applications can unmask them.\nThe Division of Consumer Affairs (DCA) of the New Jersey Office of the Attorney General (OAG) protects residents from phone scams. It educates them on how to identify and avoid phone scams while also enforcing the Consumer Fraud Act and its regulations. New Jerseyans who are victims of phone scams can file complaints with the OAG by submitting the consumer complaint form to the DCA’s office at:\n124 Halsey Street\nNewark, New Jersey 07101\nP. O. Box 45025\nResidents can also send completed forms to the DCA by email. Alternatively, New Jersey phone scams can be reported to local law enforcement agencies or the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The commonly perpetrated phone scams in New Jersey include:\n- Medicare Phone Scams - Scammers pretend to be employees of Medicare and ask targeted New Jerseyans to replace insurance cards.\n- IRS Scams - The callers claim to be with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and tell New Jersey residents to pay their owed taxes immediately.\n- Lottery Phone Scams - New Jerseyans get phone calls announcing they have won bogus prizes. They must send money to claim their winnings.\n- Grandparent Scams - Fraudsters pose as loved ones, usually grandchildren, to extort elderly New Jerseyans\n- Electric Utility Scams - Scammers who pretend to be with local utility companies contact New Jerseyans to rip them off.\n- Tech Support Scams - These are scams in which scammers claim to be representatives of targeted New Jerseyans' computer companies. They typically aim to steal their marks' personal information.\nOther prevalent scams in New Jersey include:\n- Charity scams\n- COVID-19 scams\n- Jury duty scams\n- Telemarketing scams\n- Disaster-related scams\n- Vehicle warranty scams\n- Credit card scams\n- Debt collector scams\nWhat are New Jersey IRS Scams?\nIRS scams happen all year round but are particularly prevalent around tax season. Scammers pretend to be Internal Revenue Service (IRS) employees and cheat residents out of money and/or steal their personal information. The callers will claim that call recipients owe some money to the IRS and threaten arrest or legal action. To avoid these actions, they instruct targets to pay immediately via some unusual payment channels like wire transfer, gift cards, or bitcoins. Sometimes, these scammers spoof Caller IDs of the IRS to make their calls and demands appear legitimate.\nThe IRS cautions residents that it does not make threatening phone calls or request tax payment over the phone. The IRS only initiates communication with taxpayers by mail unless taxpayers request phone engagements. New Jerseyans can fish out the identities of IRS scammers by doing reverse phone lookup searches on the callers' numbers. Victims of IRS scams can file complaints online with the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA). The IRS warns residents not to send money to persons claiming to be its employees over the phone.\nWhat are Lottery Phone Scams?\nNew Jerseyans can uncover the identities of fraudsters who engage in lottery scams using phone lookup applications. In these scams, the fraudsters will claim to be agents of familiar legitimate lottery companies and tell targeted persons that they won lotteries. The calls recipients might not have even entered any contest and yet, fall for such baits. To facilitate claiming the winnings, the callers will ask their targets to pay some fees upfront. Such money they will claim covers taxes and other service charges. Their preferred means of receiving payment are preloaded cards, credit cards, wire transfer, or iTunes cards. If you receive this type of call, know that it is a scam, end it immediately to avoid falling victim. Once their victims send money, the scammers disappear, and tracing such payments are usually hard.\nThe New Jersey Office of the Attorney General warns residents against lottery scams and advises them never to send money when they receive such calls. Also, New Jerseyans should never share their credit card details with anyone over the phone, especially if they did not initiate such calls. If you are a victim of a lottery scam in New Jersey, report your encounter to any law enforcement agency in your locality. You can also file a complaint online with the FTC.\nWhat are Electric Utility Scams?\nScammers are falsely claiming to be representatives of local electric utility companies to steal from New Jerseyans. These scams have multiple variations. In a popular version, the callers will attempt to trick their targets into giving out billing and personal information. They achieve this by promising to lower targets' monthly cost of their utility bills as bait. The aim is to commit identity theft with such information. In another variant, the scammers will claim that their marks have outstanding electric bills and must pay immediately to avoid service interruption. They often target both business and residential customers of electric utility companies and demand payment by gift cards or wire transfer.\nNew Jerseyans must know that legitimate utility companies will never threaten to shut off electricity without prior multiple written notices. Hang up on such a call if you receive any, and do not send money or share personal and billing information. Contact the phone number provided on your previous utility bills to confirm the caller's claim. Report New Jersey electric utility scams by submitting a completed complaint form to the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs (DCA) via email.\nWhat are Credit Card Scams?\nNew Jerseyans understand the implication of having compromised debit or credit cards. Phone scammers impersonate employees of banks or card companies and take advantage of cardholders' fears to rip them off using this scheme. Phone lookup services can help retrieve the identities of these fraudsters. In most cases, the scammers employ text messages. The texts often come as fraud alerts, notifying targeted cardholders of some supposed frauds on their cards. To stop such thefts, the scammers will instruct their targets to send card details and PIN in response to those texts. It is important to emphasize that banks, card companies, or their employees will never ask for such information. Your card information is confidential and should not be shared with anyone, especially not over the phone. New Jerseyans who believe they are victims of this scam can register formal complaints online with the FTC or report to their local law enforcement agencies.\nHow Do I Avoid Becoming a Victim of a Phone Scam?\n- The most reliable way of avoiding phone scams is by ignoring calls from unknown numbers. Allow such calls to go to voicemail.\n- If you answer a call and suspect it might be a scam, hang up immediately and report it by sending a completed complaint form by email to the DCA. You can also search the caller's number on a phone lookup website to verify if they are what they claim to be.\n- If you receive an automated robocall, end it immediately. Do not follow instructions to push any numbers to speak with live persons. It is a trick to identify active phone numbers, and that will lead to more robocalls.\n- Do not share information such as your social security number, credit card details, or bank account information with unknown persons over the phone. Also, do not send money to them even if they threaten arrest or jail while claiming to represent government agencies.\n- Register your phone number on the DNC Registry managed by the FTC to prevent robocall scams. Dial 1 (888) 382-1222 from your phone number to enroll.\n- Block numbers you have identified as scam phone numbers. Most cell phones have built-in functions that allow users to block incoming numbers. Third-party call-blocking applications such as Truecaller, Nomorobo, and Hiya can also block telemarketers' unsolicited calls.\nKeep abreast of the latest phone scams. Fraudsters are persistently advancing in their schemes to extort residents. New Jerseyans can get up-to-date information on phone scams from the FTC's website.", "domain": "law"}

The post says the European court \"abandoned its responsibility to protect one of the most important and universal rights: the right to seek, receive and impart information.\"\nAs a result, Wikimedia says, \"accurate search results are vanishing in Europe with no public explanation, no real proof, no judicial review and no appeals process.

Being considered as the biggest and most significant development in the field of photography, the drone has made it possible to capture the world’s most stunning places and views.\nThis sky-high flying camera can reach the most challenging places to get, a significant breakthrough in photography. Therefore, if you are an aerial photography enthusiast, investing in a drone would be wise.\nHowever, just because a drone can reach anywhere doesn’t mean it can be flown anywhere. And especially if you are an Australian resident, you have to note that certain drone restrictions have been set up in the legislation.\nSince failure to comply with these restrictions could lead to being penalized, all drone operators must understand the laws and regulations that govern drone operations in Australia. This article will help you understand these restrictions well so that you can enjoy drone photography in Australia to the full.\nRules for Flying a Drone in Australia\nAccording to Australia’s CASA (Civil Aviation Safety Authority), it is legal to fly drones in Australia. However, people who fly drones are expected to understand and comply with the drone legislation. This drone legislation requires each person to adhere to the following vital rules for flying a drone:\nYou should not fly a drone higher than 400 feet (120 meters) above the ground.\nYou should fly your drone only during the day. Also, always fly your drone within a clear visual line of sight – In other words, whenever flying a drone, you should be able to see it with your eyes and not through a device.\nYou should fly your drone away from other people – There should be a distance of at least 30 meters between where you are flying the drone and people.\nYou should fly only one UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) at a time.\nDrones that weigh more than 100 grams should be kept away from controlled aerodromes/airports for a distance of at least 5.5km.\nYou should never fly a drone above people, such as over beaches, sports ovals, parks, and public/social events or gatherings.\nUnless you have prior approval, you should never fly a drone over areas where emergency operations are being carried out or near areas affecting public safety – These areas include regions with firefighting operations, police operations, search and rescue activities.\nAlways respect personal privacy – Do not record any activities or photography without the consent of owners.\nOperations Within a 3nm Radius of an Aerodrome/Airport\nThis part of Australian legislation has proven to be the most confusing among many drone flyers. So, what does ‘Operations within a three nautical mile (nm) radius of an aerodrome’ really mean?\nTo understand this particular restriction, you need to keep in mind three key facts:\nAn aerodrome/Airport is a place where flight operations take place. It could be a small general aviation airfield, a military airbase, or even a large commercial airport.\nA distance of 3nm is approximately 5.5km.\nDrone restrictions on operations within a 3nm radius vary depending on whether the aerodrome is controlled, non-controlled, or is an HLS (Helicopter Landing Site).\nOperations Within a Controlled Aerodrome/Airport\nA controlled aerodrome/Airport is that which has an operating control tower. To operate a drone within a 3nm radius of such controlled aerodromes, the Australian drone legislation requires you to have permission from both Airservices Australia and CASA (the Civil Aviation Safety Authority).\nHowever, note that Australia has set restrictions relative to the separation standards of human-crewed aircraft (helicopters and planes) and drones. These restrictions make it very hard, even almost illegal, for Airservices Australia to approve commercial drone operations at or within a 3nm radius of the controlled aerodromes/airports.\nOperations Within a Non-Controlled Aerodrome/Airport\nIn a non-controlled aerodrome/airport, there is no operational Air Traffic Control (ATC). While these airfields might have control towers, they do not provide any ATC services. Also, non-controlled aerodromes include aerodromes that usually offer ATC services, but the services are no longer available.\nGenerally, drone operations within a non-controlled aerodrome/airport are considered possible and lawful under Australia’s drone legislation. However, the drone pilot should be certified or licensed. Besides, the drone pilot should avoid flying within the following three dangerous areas:\nThe Movement Areas\nThe FATO (Final Approach and Take-off) areas – These are regions from which the final phase of take-off is started or where the final approach of landing/hovering is completed. It could either be on land or water.\nAreas where the drone can create a hazard to aircraft flying within the region.\nOperations Within a Helicopter Landing Site (HLS)\nWhen we talk of helicopter landing sites (HLS), we don’t refer to any regular HLS, but HLS with an instrument approach. To fly a drone within these specific HLS, you will need to be a licensed drone operator and have a CASA approval certificate. Otherwise, only the instruments’ HLS are allowed to be flown within a 3nm radius of a helicopter landing site.\nIt is also important to note that some particular types of drone operations require the pilots to obtain direct approval from the airspace authorities themselves. An excellent example of airspaces that will require you to get permission from the authorities is the Wollongong Hospital Helicopter Landing Site.\nTo fly your drone over the Wollongong HLS, you will have to get approval from the Base Manager and helicopter pilot, in addition to getting a CASA approval certificate.\nThe following is a list of other HLS that have instrument approaches in Australia:\nNewcastle Westpac Base\nGosford District Hospital\nVictor Island West\nIndeed, drones are more than just remote-controlled fun toys for photo enthusiasts; they are a revolutionary advancement in photography. With this unmanned camera, you get to experience the best aerial photography in the world.\nHowever, if you are to enjoy drone photography in Australia fully, you need to familiarize yourself with the drone restrictions put in place. This article has discussed the necessary regulations that you need to know. So, remember to adhere to these while you have fun and explore the beautiful Australian scenery!", "domain": "law"}

The GAAA monitors and pressures the nuclear weapon states to fulfil their obligation under international law and treaties to start to abolish their nuclear weapons.\nThe Nurnberg Principles and the decision of the International Court of Justice in 1996 (that stated \"the threat and use of nuclear weapons would be illegal under international law\") made it clear to us that we have an obligation to perform non-violent direct actions opposing nuclear weapons. We organise actions on civil disobedience (CD) at military bases in Germany and throughout Europe, and conduct public hearings to inform the German population about nuclear weapons.\nFor example, when the U.S. governments deployed B-61 nuclear bombs in seven different European countries and stationed A-10 Thunderbolt warplanes with depleted uranium ammunition in Germany, Italy and elsewhere, in 1997, 1998 and 1999 GAAA organised CD actions at the military base in Büchel, close to Frankfurt, Germany. “Inspection Teams” gained access to the base as bailiffs of the International Court of Justice. A number of people were arrested while enforcing the International Court of Justice's decision. They used their few weeks of imprisonment to further raise awareness about this issue.\nThe GAAA does lobby work and networking with affiliated groups in Europe and throughout the world. We have worked in coalition with such European organisations as For Mother Earth Belgium; Lakenheath Action Group, UK; International Physicians and Scientists for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW), Germany; Trägerkreis Atomwaffen Abschaffen; Germany Society of War Resisters; Darmstädter Signal; Internationaler Versöhnungsbund, Germany. We have also worked in co-operation with Nukewatch in the USA; and Japanese organisations from Hiroshima.\nHistorically, GAAA has worked on such nuclear weapons issues as mini-nukes, weapons in space, and now DU and other uranium weapons. We have also done work on the issue of how indigenous peoples have been affected by such issues as uranium mining, weapons testing on their lands, and health effects from radiation amongst indigenous populations. Among our most notable major actions and successes are:\nIn 1999, organised opposition to Germany’s illegal participation in the war against Yugoslavia, and its use of depleted uranium munitions\nIn 1999, participated in and helped organise the international Peace Walk from the International Court of Justice in Den Haag (Holland), right after `The Hague Appeal for Peace Conference´ to NATO Headquarter in Brussels (Belgium), performing direct actions, and demanding that NATO negotiate the abolishment of nuclear weapons and the first strike option\nIn the year 2000, the GAAA worked with local activists and helped inspire them to organise actions during the Hiroshima and Nagasaki Days at the military base in Büchel, near Frankfurt\nFor 2001, planned a bigger inspection of the Büchel base by so-called \"very important persons\" (politicians, artists, u.s.w.) in order to build up pressure on the judge to consider international law. This action was well prepared, and co-ordinated with similar actions on military bases with U.S. nuclear weapons in Holland (Voelkel) and Belgium (Kleine Brogel) on the October 3rd European Action Day Against Nuclear Weapons. (Regrettably, most of these actions did not occur because of the hysterical situation after the terrorist attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Centre in the USA. The German police searched GAAA’s office and confiscated all our computers and other equipment, saying that our planned inspection would be an incitement to crime. Our office manager was fined, and our computers have not yet been returned, but GAAA received much solidarity from the peace movement.)\nIn 2003 GAAA plans a summer bike tour connecting three different German-based U.S. military bases containing nuclear weapons to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the successful resistance against the deployment of Pershing missiles in Germany during the Cold War, culminating in the blockade of the Büchel military base; and intends to hold a major organising conference in October to organise an international campaign seeking the ban of depleted uranium (DU) and other uranium weapons, and their classification as weapons of mass destruction (WMD).\nGAAA maintains contact office(s) in Hamburg, and Kornwestheim (near Stuttgart), Germany. It fields a staff of two paid and 25-30 volunteer workers. It publishes a quarterly newsletter, FreiRaum, (posted to a website at www.gaaa.org) which is published in Germany, and sent to over 1,600+ individuals and organisations in 13 countries.\nGAAA is governed by decisions of members made at the GAAA annual meeting, held in November of each year. Program decisions and fundraising plans for the following year are made at this meeting. It is a German non-profit organization, and is affiliated with Förderverein Frieden, which in Germany acts as our fiscal agent for the purpose of making tax-deductible contributions under German tax law.", "domain": "law"}

Unless you are a parent who is creating an account for a child who is 13 or older, you agree not to create an account on behalf of anyone other than yourself, and you agree to provide accurate, current and complete information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account. You agree that you are solely responsible for any activities that occur in connection with your account, whether or not you have authorized such activities. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account. To help eliminate confusion with recycled phone numbers, we monitor account inactivity. If an account is unused for 365 days and then becomes newly activated on a different mobile device, we take this as a sign that a number has been recycled. At this time we will remove the old account data tied to the phone number.\nSubject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to download and install a copy of the imo application which allows you to access and use the imo Service on mobile and desktop devices that you own or control.

The public facade is impressive, several stories high, with deep, decorated double-arches across the entrance. In fair weather, two very large doors are kept open wide during public hours. In more inclement weather and after hours, the lobby is accessed through smaller 'man doors,' which are inset in the larger doors and have more standard sizing. Entrance is on the right, exit on the left - both are clearly marked. During public hours, at least one Monitor is found at each door, keeping any queue orderly.\nThe lobby is a long open room with high, vaulted ceilings and a variety of single-story offices. An open second story, accessed by several impressive staircases, is an area for long-term waiting, and has rows of modestly comfortable chairs, as well as a small selection of current periodicals and books. Writing boards and pens are provided for filling out justification forms. All Licensing Office property is marked with their seal, and the Monitors frequently search people leaving the building. At the end of the lobby below stretches a large central counter for dropping off and picking up forms and licenses. During public hours, the area is bustling, and there are commonly several hundred people in the waiting area, with several hundred more queued to the counter. A dozen or so Clerks circulate in both areas, assisting people in filling out their forms and making sure they are working on the correct ones.\nTo apply for any license, the person must first be a recognized citizen of the Empire. All children born to a couple with a valid procreation license are automatically legal citizens. They are tattooed on the inside of the elbow with a pattern of dots that identifies when they were born, what city they were born in, which hospital, and appends specific identification. This tattoo will spread and fade as they grow, but maintains the necessary information. It is 'touched up' when they become adult citizens, at the age of 17.\nThis tattoo pattern is added to each of a citizen's licenses; licenses are in no way transferable.\nAn unlicensed child may immediately be licensed if the parents can afford the (very steep!) fees to license them. Otherwise, the child is removed from its parents and put in an orphanage, and only becomes a citizen when (if!) they are adopted.\nA Purist may apply to become a citizen before they apply for any other license; the process for an adult requires a mandatory accelerated education and several tests verifying that they understand the laws, system and language. If they cannot pay the fees the citizenship requires, they become a citizen in debt, and the fees are removed from their wages once they have been settled in an appropriate job (which is required before their citizenship is finalized). As with other types of license, they may receive a 'Pending License' which gives them some very basic rights.\nTo receive any license, it is necessary to file a justification form. Some licenses, including all permissions to access public works, the physical traits license and travel license, are justified at the Licensing Office directly. Some licenses, such as occupational licenses, and merchant credits, are justified by the guilds. Educational licenses are justified by the schools. Some licenses, such as housing license, must be approved by both the Guild and the government. All of these justification forms are filed at the Licensing Office, where the actual physical licenses are also printed. Guilds and schools deliver their pre-approved justification forms periodically through official runners.\nSome justification forms, such as requesting access to basic lending libraries, are very straightforward, and consist only of a series of checkboxes and yes/no questions, verifying that the citizen has the correct background, requirements and fees for the license in question.\nOther justification forms, such as marriage and procreation, are more complex and require detailed essay explanation of qualifications and why the citizen desires such a license, written recommendations from approved officials, and/or interviews with Licensing Office managers.\nThere are licensed professionals (similar to public accountants) who can assist with filling out justification forms, and in the cases of unlettered citizens, even file them in their stead. They are particularly common in the area where the Raalyan live, due to the prevalence of dyslexia in that culture.\nA citizen applying for a license comes to the Licensing Office, picks up blank forms for the license they are applying for. Their name, verified by the Clerk who inspects their license, is added to a list for that day, along with the kind of the justification form they are taking. The justification form they take is marked with the date. Justification forms expire in 90 days.\nThey return to the Office later, with their filled out justification form. The Clerk taking their form verifies the license information they are claiming, inspecting their physical traits license, comparing it to their tattoo, checking their educational license, and any other prerequisite licenses that their form requires. The form is stamped as inspected, and the citizen is told when to return to the office for their license, or scheduled for an interview if required. Depending on the complexity of the form and the queue for that department, this can be a matter of days or months.\nVery straightforward licenses are inspected by Assistants, who simply verify that all of the appropriate boxes are checked and process them as approved or not approved. Those justification forms which are not approved at this stage are filed in the pick-up files. A citizen returning for an unapproved license will not receive their fees back, and may request the forms for an appeal for most kinds of licenses if they feel a mistake has been made, but the appeal is expensive (and paid in advance), and they may simply return in 5 months (half a year) to reapply for most kinds of licenses.\nTwo Assistants inspect each license. If they agree in their assessment, the most basic kinds of license may be given final approval by a specialized Assistant-Manager.\nComplex licenses, including any that require recommendations, interviews or essays, are given an assessment by the Assistant-Manager and must be reviewed by Department Managers. Departments include (but are not limited to): Zoning and Construction, Marriage, Health, Education and Public Access. Some of these departments work more closely with guilds than with individuals. Interviews may be conducted by Assistant-Managers, or Department Managers.\nAll cases where the assessment of a Department Manager does not match that of his Assistant-Manager, or cases where either one of those parties choses to elevate the issue, are moved up to the Master Manager. (In Affamarg, that individual is Baison.) He makes the final decision on all such licenses, as well as acting as a personnel manager for the office and doing random double-checks on the approvals being made below him.\nOnce a justification form is approved, it is send to the printing offices, which are part of the sprawling buildings of the License Offices. The license is type-set, proofed, and printed. In some cases, more than one copy is required - for local and rural offices, a second copy would be send to the regional office to be filed, and for travel licenses (printed on a less durable paper), a copy is send ahead to the destination.\nThe final license is filed in the 'pick-up' files.\nA citizen returning to pick it up gives their name and justification form number, is inspected (tattoo and physical traits license) and a Clerk is sent to find their license (or denied form!). In special cases, if pre-arranged, a license may be mailed to another office for pick-up elsewhere.\nIn some cases, no one comes to pick up the final license. Licenses are destroyed after 90 days, and justification forms are filed in special 'dead license' areas, where they are held for 10 years and then destroyed.\nThe Empire does not charge income or sales taxes - their government is funded by the monopoly on time crystal and on license fees.\nAll licenses, no matter how minor, require fees. These fees are paid upon filing a justification form, and are not refundable if the license is not approved, which keeps frivolous and unreasonable license applications from being problematic. Even the Guilds and Schools pay these fees, to cover the cost of the license printing, filing and storage.\nThese fees cover not only the cost of administrating the license, but also include government fees - some of which are to cover costs incurred by the privileges of the license (ie: maintaining museums, libraries and other public works), some of which is used as a simple monetary deterrent and also to cover training and education related to holding the license.\nMany licenses require a basic level of schooling; an unlettered citizen would not be granted access to a library. Many more require very specific classes to be attended - and passed! - in order to verify that the citizen can successfully handle the privileges that come with the license.\nOnce a justification form has been approved and paid for, but the necessarily classes have not been passed, they get a temporary 'License Pending.' A merchant applying for a license to brew beer, for example, may get one of these while they are still training so that they can purchase brewing equipment and hire construction of brewing infrastructure. They must turn in their License Pending at the successful completion of their class for the full License.\nA very special kind of license, the credit license is something that acts partly as wages for work performed. Rather than being issued by a shopping establishment or bank, a credit license would be issued by an employer, and the employer is the ones who pay the bills accrued on it. Depending on how a citizen negotiated their position, this may end up being the bulk of the pay for a job. If they didn't spend that portion of their wages every month, they wouldn't get it back in cash - the Empire really does want you to: Work hard. Buy freely.\nThe places to get credit licenses to would be very reliant on the job - a good job gets credit at the better shopping areas. A laborer may get credit at a very basic food and necessities supply store. A skilled assistant may get credit at a shopping bazaar offering higher quality food suppliers, with common fashionable clothing and cheap jewelry. A Science Leader in the regional government level may get more credit at a large shopping area with specialized gourmet foods available, high-end clothing and fine art. This is in part to keep citizens from spending outside of their budget, and works to keep them from accidentally falling into debt.\nAny citizen would still be permitted to shop at higher (or lower!) class shopping establishments, they would just be required to pay cash.\nThese licenses, though they would be carried with a citizen's other licenses, are not issued by the Licensing Office, and are not verified by them in anyway. Merchants negotiate directly with employers for these contracts, and issue them individually - they are also responsible for catching frauds, and keep their own records about who has what kind of credit with them.\nFalsification of actual licenses is difficult to pull off - the special paper and ink are very closely guarded trade secrets, and the stamp impression is challenging to duplicate. Additionally, a license can, if suspected, be 'challenged.' This involves a search of the Licensing Office for the approved justification form that must be on file. If that form is not found, the license is assumed false, and the citizen is in a pile of trouble. A challenge of the most complicated license (and therefore mostly likely to be falsified) that the citizen is carrying is part of the procedure of any arrest. A challenge can also be brought by any citizen.\nThis search can be lengthy, simply due to the size and complication of the filing system, and the consequences of calling a false challenge on a proper license are that the challenger will be required to pay the cost of the search for the form.\nMost fraud occurs during the justification form stage.\nSome justification forms are simply filled out falsely. Due to the sheer number of justification forms that come through the office, it is impossible to verify every piece of information. Forged recommendations can be purchased on the black market with ease. Clerks at the Licensing Office do periodic random verifications to attempt to combat this.\nIt is harder to get licenses that have earlier dates, but the black market can provide many things if you know who to ask... the staff of the Licensing Offices is quite extensive, and they aren't all upright citizens.\nTheft of licenses is not unheard of! The victim needs to report the crime within 20 hours (one day) and give details of the theft to the Monitors, then apply at the Licensing Office within 60 hours (three days). A search is made of the justification forms on file for that citizen. This may take a long while, particularly if the search needs to extend to other cities for licenses obtained elsewhere. They are given a special kind of 'pending license' which serves their basic needs and identifies them as a citizen.\nStolen licenses may be altered - carefully - to change the tattoo markings on them so they can be applied to other citizens, but in many cases, the theft is usually just a nuisance crime, and the licenses are destroyed, or found defaced later.\nAnyone caught in possession of stolen licenses is punished severely, and usually ends up in an institution, judged incapable of being part of society.\nAll Related Articles:\nEmpire: A description of the bureaucratic Empire, which has assimilated a large number of different cultures during its history.", "domain": "law"}

It will explain the important consideration of identifying the legal authority for authorizing the final disposition of the remains in the state of Washington. The blog will cover different scenarios and individuals who possess the legal power to make such decisions.\n- Designated Agent\n- In Washington, individuals can appoint a designated agent in writing to have the authority to authorize disposition upon their death. This can be done through a specific document, such as a Designation of Authorized Disposition, in which the deceased person designates someone they trust to make decisions regarding their funeral arrangements and final resting place.\n- Next of Kin\n- If the deceased person did not appoint a designated agent, the legal authority to authorize disposition generally falls to the deceased person’s next of kin. In Washington, the order of priority for next of kin is as follows:\n- a) Spouse or state-registered domestic partner\n- b) Adult children\n- c) Parents\n- d) Siblings\n- e) Other relatives\nIt’s important to note that the next of kin must reach a consensus regarding the disposition of the remains. If there is a disagreement among the next of kin, the matter may need to be resolved through legal channels.\n- Funeral Director\n- In certain circumstances, a funeral director may have the authority to authorize disposition. This occurs when the funeral director receives written authorization from a designated agent or from the deceased person’s next of kin.\n- Executor/Personal Representative\n- If the deceased person had a valid will and appointed an executor or personal representative, this individual may have the authority to authorize disposition. The executor’s authority stems from their role in carrying out the deceased person’s wishes as outlined in the will.\n- Court Appointment\n- If none of the above individuals are available or willing to take on the responsibility, a court may appoint a person to authorize disposition. This situation usually arises when there are disputes among the next of kin or when no suitable person is available to fulfill the role.\nIt is crucial to handle the authority to decide the final arrangement for the deceased with empathy and consideration for their desires. If there are doubts regarding who has the legal power or conflicts among the immediate family members, consulting a legal expert can help clarify the matter and guarantee that the deceased individual’s wishes are respected.\nTo avoid confusion or conflicts, individuals should communicate their wishes clearly in advance. Creating a designated agent document or including specific instructions regarding disposition in a will can alleviate uncertainty and provide guidance to loved ones during a difficult time.\nIn Washington, the responsibility of making disposition decisions is mainly given to a designated agent or the deceased person’s closest relative. Knowing the legal structure and the order of priority for decision-making can help individuals ensure that their loved one’s final wishes are carried out as intended. Communication, paperwork, and legal advice are all critical factors in navigating this delicate area of funeral planning and end-of-life preparations.", "domain": "law"}

Failure to apply for, or being late in filing for and receiving, a \"permit to operate an air contaminant source\" can cause delays in installing and operating the equipment. The permit to operate is needed before the equipment can be used, and often before installation and assembly can begin. The application forms are usually complicated and, when completed, the application is subject to administrative review before approval.\nThe agency that develops regulations for environmental emissions is the federal Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA. The review is conducted by and the permit issued through its state agency, known as the Department of Environmental Quality, which will conduct a review to predict the level of pollutants the booth will emit.\nThe EPA has no jurisdiction over actual booth design. It regulates the allowable amount of toxic material in exhaust stack emissions, liquid and solid waste streams.\nRegarding spray booths, its standards place limitations on the amount of toxic material in the form of solvent vapor, known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), entering the environment through the booth exhaust stack. A spray booth is not an emission control device; instead, it is designed to collect solid particulate only, not solvent vapors.\nIf the predicted level of emissions is acceptable, the state agency will issue a permit to operate an air contaminant source. If the pollutant level is unacceptable, the agency may deny the permit, require the use of exhaust air treatment equipment, or require the use of a different coating material.\nTo comply with EPA requirements, exhaust air may need to be treated with equipment installed outside the spray booth. Carbon adsorption systems, or incineration systems, for example, are acceptable methods for collecting VOCs.", "domain": "law"}

Their needs have gotten short shrift in the bill recently put forth by Senate negotiators. In a bill born of numerous compromises and trade-offs, the interests of families have lost out.\nMillions of America’s children—more than one in five—live in immigrant families. Most of these children are U.S. citizens, and it is in the interests of all Americans that they grow up to become healthy and productive members of society. Strong, stable families can provide a crucial source of support to children in immigrant families as they face hardship.\nYet our policies and practices often pull immigrant families apart. A long backlog in family visas, among other factors, leads to separations between husbands and wives and between parents and children that can last several years and more. Being separated from a parent can be extremely hard on children. And family separations also put enormous stress on parents, making it more difficult for them to care for their children and keep their marriages intact.\nAnother risk for children in immigrant families is the likelihood of growing up with inadequate financial resources. Even though virtually all children of immigrants have parents who work, half of them live in low-income families. Their parents are disproportionately likely to work for low wages in jobs without health insurance or other employer benefits. Like millions of other low-wage workers in this country, they work hard but still struggle to afford even the most basic necessities.\nImmigrant workers have limited access to the benefits that assist low-wage workers and their families. In contrast to stereotypes, immigrants receive fewer government benefits—and fewer health services—than native-born Americans. Policies and practices restrict immigrants’ eligibility for programs and increase their fear of interacting with government officials. Fear of authorities also makes immigrant workers more vulnerable to exploitation by their employers, as they are unlikely to organize or report abuses. And when employers can exploit immigrants without repercussion, it makes it much more difficult for all workers to defend their rights.\nPerhaps most at risk are children with undocumented immigrant parents. There are close to five million children in this country with parents who lack legal status. Their parents prepare our food, clean our homes and take care of our children. They pay taxes—including payroll taxes for Social Security and Medicare, and sales taxes. And recent research confirms that both documented and undocumented immigrants are overwhelmingly law abiding. Nonetheless, they are reluctant to access even the most basic government protections and services for themselves and their children.\nRegrettably, many of the immigration provisions currently under discussion threaten to exacerbate the risks faced by children with foreign-born parents, rather than address them. Family separations will only increase, for example, if Congress approves sharp cuts in family immigration visas. A lengthy and expensive legalization process for undocumented immigrants—in which applicants must return to their countries of origin, forfeit all Social Security contributions they have made and pay hefty penalty fees, among other requirements—threatens both the stability and economic security of immigrant families.\nThe economic contributions of immigrants are becoming even more critical as the baby boomers retire. Without immigration, America would soon face a shrinking workforce, unable to support a rising number of retirees. If the children of today’s immigrants are to become productive workers in the future, we need to focus on their health and development now.\nAny comprehensive immigration reform effort will have to address a wide range of concerns. Prominent among them should be promoting strong families who are able to support and provide for their children. Immigration reform should include measures to:\n- Provide undocumented immigrants with a realistic path to citizenship.\n- Promote timely family reunification and take other steps to avoid separations between family members.\n- Ensure low-income immigrant families access to public health insurance and other benefits designed to assist low-wage workers and their families.\n- Empower immigrant workers to report employment violations and other abuses without fear of deportation.\nAs the immigration debate continues, the impact of proposed policies on immigrant families and children should be a primary concern. Twenty percent of this country’s children—our leaders and workers of tomorrow—have foreign-born parents. Most of these children are American citizens, born and raised in this country. The future of our nation depends in part on the future we provide for them.", "domain": "law"}

Such cases not only include actions involving financial brokers, but also include employment claims on behalf of registered brokers.\nWe specialize in investor claims against brokers and broker dealers who have committed fraud or have otherwise invested a client’s money in an unethical or improper manner.

Baddley, Mauro & Yates has significant experience litigating trust and estate claims on behalf of beneficiaries in both circuit and probate court.\nDisputes frequently arise when a fiduciary, often times referred to as a personal representative or trustee, fails to act appropriately in carrying out a loved one’s testamentary intent. Fiduciaries are required to act in good faith with respect to all beneficiaries under the terms of a will or trust, but will often times mismanage assets to the detriment of the beneficiary. Our attorneys have successfully recovered millions in misspent money from executors and trustees for the benefit of our clients.\nOur lawyers team with appropriate tax and accounting experts to provide our clients with a full range of advice throughout the litigation process.\nDATA BREACH LITIGATION\nData breach litigation has become an emerging area of the law due to the universal practice of businesses storing private customer information in digital form.

Our firm routinely litigates contract disputes in a wide variety of fields, including:\n- Supplies and suppliers, including quality of goods and timeliness of delivery\n- Franchise disputes\n- Shareholder disputes\n- Partnerships and LLCs\n- Employment matters\n- Non-solicitation and non-competition\n- Commercial notes\n- Bank and brokerage customer\nIt is not uncommon from two parties to read a contract, and thereby interpret their respective obligations, differently. Contract law requires that one begin with the plain language of the contract and then apply a series of technical rules of construction. Our attorneys are adept in utilizing these rules to the advantage of our clients, and in furtherance of either negotiating resolutions or litigating the matter through trial.\nCLASS ACTION LITIGATION\nClass actions can take the form of almost any dispute, including consumer fraud, securities fraud, unfair and deceptive trade practices, false advertising claims, employment issues or even boilerplate contract claims. The class action process allows the grouping of hundreds, if not thousands, of individuals whose claims are commonly situated to seek judicial relief. The action is brought by a few individuals who fight for those who have suffered similar injuries. Class action lawsuits have become the great equalizer in litigating against large, well-capitalized corporations, and allow individuals to seek meaningful redress against corporate wrongdoers.\nThe lawyers at Baddley, Mauro & Yates are experienced in handling class action lawsuits, and prosecute each action with the goal of maximizing the rights of our clients.

To illustrate this fact, the HMRC received over £3.4bn in IHT receipts during the year 2013/14 [source: HMRC statistics].\nMost forms of IHT planning involve the creation of complex trusts or gifting arrangements, which require the investor to live a further seven years and typically involve the loss of control over the asset and any income derived from it.\nInvestments in Deepbridge IHT Service qualify for Business Relief (formerly Business Property Relief) and are therefore 100% inheritance tax-free once held for a minimum of two years.\nThe Deepbridge IHT Service\nThe Deepbridge IHT Service is a discretionary investment management service that invests in asset-backed renewable energy opportunities that benefit from contractual revenues available under the Renewables Obligation. In doing so, the Service seeks to ensure an enduring focus upon capital preservation. A cost-efficient estate planning component of an investor’s portfolio, the Service can exempt a portion of the Investors estate from IHT, after a two-year holding period.\nDesigned with you in mind\nWhether looking for growth or income from your investment, the Deepbridge IHT Service can work for you:\n- The Growth Option: if receiving sufficient income from other sources, investors can maximize protection against inheritance tax by selecting the growth option.\n- The Income Option: if sufficient funds are available to invest but investors still require an income from the investment, they can elect to receive an annual target income of 6% per annum.\nMaximum tax efficiency\nTo ensure maximum tax efficiency for the investor, the Deepbridge IHT Service is entirely investor-fee free.\nInvestors should be aware that investment in smaller unlisted companies (including Business Releif qualifying companies) carries with it a high degree of inherent risk whether or not it is done through a diversified portfolio and regardless of any tax advantages which such an investment might carry and/or any steps taken to attempt to mitigate that risk. Investors should be aware that thier capital is at risk and they may lose all or some of their investment. The stated target return is an indicative figure only and not guaranteed.

The regulations provided some clarity on a number of financial activities and updated previously issued regulations.\nNigeria became the FIRST AFRICAN NATION to introduce its official central bank digital currency (CBDC)The launch of the eNaira on 25 October 2021 was met with varying criticism and legal concerns, in particular, fundamental concerns surrounding the power of the CBN to issue the eNaira under its enabling statute.\nIn 2021, Nigerian regulatory authorities adopted a stringent stance towards the technology sector with a series of warnings, sanctions, court actions and proscriptions of several activities and companies. These clampdowns ranged from the crypto ban to the court order freezing the bank accounts of fintechs and the infamous Twitter ban\nThe African continent recorded an increase in the number of fintech unicorns and a number of big ticket series funding in 2021. On aggregate, the technology sector raised $590.36 million between Q1 – Q3 2021 signifying the growth potential and profitability in the sector.\n2021 was the year of significant and strategic partnerships between fintech companies aimed at expanding the reach of local fintechs across the African continent and worldwide. Payments companies, in particular, Flutterwave and Paystack were at the forefront of companies that entered into partnerships with diverse companies including payment service banks, mobile money operators, and other PSSPs to strengthen their reach across Africa.\nIncreased participation by telecoms companies in agency banking\nWhile 2021 witnessed an increased participation in agent banking by commercial banks, 2022 is expected to witness increased participation in agent banking by telecommunication companies, in particular by Airtel and MTN which recently obtained relevant PSB and super-agent AIPs.\nBNPL continues to be a small but growing segment of the financial services in Nigeria. According to the Q2 BNPL Survey, it has been reported that the Nigerian BNPL market is expected to grow by 67.4% to reach $341 Million in 2021.\nSome of the key players in Nigeria include Carbon, CDcare, PayQart, Credpal. There are however no legislations or guidelines on digital lending or Buy Now Pay Later products in Nigeria.\nThe African Union in collaboration with Afrexim Bank developed and launched the Pan African Payment Settlement System (the PAPSS). PAPSS seeks to facilitate payments as well as formalize some of the unrecorded cross-border trade between African countries by creating a centralized payment and settlement infrastructure for intra- African trade and commerce payments. The operationalisation of PAPSS is timely with the recent signing of the Africa Continental Free Trade Agreement.\nThe launch of eNaira in 2021 poses potential competition for mobile money operators (MMOs), who are existing mobile payment services providers in Nigeria. However, MMOs retain the advantage of the agent network, over the eNaira. MMOs deploy wide agent networks wherein mobile wallet users may utilise mobile money agents to convert mobile money to cash.\nIn 2021, Nigeria became a pioneer of open banking in Africa. Some fintech companies (such as Mono, Okra, etc.) are already taking advantage of the Open Banking Framework to deploy innovative products and collaborate with other participants (including commercial banks and other payment companies) in the ecosystem and we expect this trend to continue.\n“Olaniwun Ajayi has exceptional capabilities in advising on investment transactions and the development of new fintech payment product”\n“Their experience in emerging technologies is attractive to startups as well as traditional financial institutions operating in the Nigerian Fintech ecosystem.”\nDamilola Salawu (Partner)\n”He has an indepth understanding of not just the rules and regulations governing the Nigerian payment fintech industry, but also of the business nuances.

Of course, check with your US advisors to confirm the right approach for your business.\n1. US Trademarks: What’s the bottom line?\nBefore launching in the US you should strongly consider:\n- conducting a clearance search to determine whether anyone else already has applied for, registered, or is using a mark in the US that could block your company’s use of its mark, and\n- filing a US trademark application if the clearance search results are favorable.\n2. Do I need to bother?\nIt depends on how important your brand is to your US business plans and your company’s tolerance for potential US litigation risk.\nIf you’ve built or hope to build US brand recognition – such that it would create a hardship to have to rebrand if you can’t use your mark in the US – you’ll want to ensure you’ve properly addressed US trademark matters.\nUS trademark applications are optional, but they can provide a strategic advantage — particularly if you don’t intend to launch in the US for a considerable period of time but still want to lock up rights to a name.\nAlso, failure to properly confirm in advance that you can use a brand increases the risk your company may unknowingly infringe a third party’s trademark rights, and litigation and litigation threats tend to be more common in the US than in the UK.\n3. Does my UK or European Community trademark registration cover the US?\nNo. Trademarks are generally country-specific; e.g. a UK registration provides protection only in the UK.\nHowever, UK or European trademark filings sometimes can be helpful for establishing rights through subsequent trademark filings in the US, particularly if the subsequent US filings come shortly afterwards.\n4. I searched the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) online database and there seem to be no filings for my company’s mark – are we good to go?\nNot necessarily. Here are two reasons why not:\n- Unregistered marks. A search of the USPTO database won’t identify unregistered marks that nonetheless may pose a problem. A US trademark registration offers useful benefits, but a company can develop protectable rights in a mark simply by using it in the US. That company potentially can block later users of identical or similar marks even without a trademark registration if there is a “likelihood of confusion” (more on this concept below).\n- Similar marks. An online search of the USPTO database also won’t necessarily identify marks that aren’t identical to yours but are sufficiently similar to potentially block you. For example, searching the USPTO database won’t turn up a registration for soda in the US under the KOKA KOLA brand. However, a large Atlanta-based company likely would want to have a word with anyone executing on that plan.\n5. I searched the USPTO online database and lots of companies have filed for my company’s mark – am I out of luck?\nNot necessarily (again!).\nMultiple companies can own rights in the same mark in the US if the various uses do not create a “likelihood of confusion” among the relevant customers. For example, the companies behind DELTA airlines, DELTA petrol, and DELTA faucets are all unrelated. However, whether a “likelihood of confusion” exists is not always a straightforward question; US courts consider many different factors when evaluating “likelihood of confusion” in US trademark disputes.\n6. Do I have to have a US company to apply for a US trademark registration?\nNo. In fact, for tax reasons, it’s often more desirable for a non-US company to own a US trademark registration.\n7. Does my company need to be doing business in the US to apply for a US trademark registration?\nNo, although eventually, your company needs to use the mark in the US (or be a US company using the mark cross-border) to register the mark.\n8. Does using my mark on my company’s website count as using a brand in the US?\nPotentially yes, if your company’s services are being provided to US customers or users, and your company is using the mark on its website to identify the source of the services. If your company makes physical goods, typically the mark must be shown on the goods or product packaging. Use of the mark solely as a domain name is insufficient to establish trademark rights.\n9. Do I need a trademark lawyer?\nAlthough technically any individual can file a US trademark application, clearing a trademark for use in the US and obtaining a US trademark registration are nuanced processes. Working with a US trademark lawyer will virtually always save you money and time; be sure to get a quote in advance, of course.\n10. Realistically, what are the risks?\nThe practical risks of not properly addressing US trademarks include:\n- US trademark disputes. A common worst-case scenario is that someone already has US rights in your company’s mark and you start trading anyway. Trademark claims are more common in the US than the UK; the US is more litigious generally and you’ll have to bear your own costs in litigation (which creates pressure to settle on potentially unfavorable terms). You don’t want to find yourself on the wrong end of an expensive and time-consuming US trademark claim if you could have readily avoided it with an understanding of the complete picture. This isn’t a theoretical risk – in our experience, trademark claims are the second-most common type of dispute initially encountered by non-US startups in the States (anecdotally, employment claims are the most common).\n- Inability to use your brand in the US. The landscape may be clear now, but without using your brand in the States or filing a US trademark application, there’s little stopping someone else from obtaining US rights in your brand before you do.\n- Wasting time and money. You spend time and money filing your own trademark application and the USPTO rejects it for avoidable reasons.\nPost produced in partnership with Daniel Glazer, Aaron Hendelman, and John Slafsky at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati.\nDan can be reached at email@example.com, Aaron at firstname.lastname@example.org, and John at email@example.com.

Five years have passed since that time, but Apple is still coping with the fallout. According to The Guardian, a consumer rights advocate named Justin Gutmann has filed a lawsuit against the tech giant at the UK’s Competition Appeals Tribunal. Gutmann claimed that Apple intentionally throttled consumers’ phones without telling them beforehand and that the corporation didn’t provide them the chance to turn off the setting.\nThe iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6S, 6S Plus, SE, 7, 7 Plus, 8, 8 Plus, and iPhone X devices are all included in the complaint. Remember that the company first issued the update that purposefully slows down devices for the iPhone 6, 6s, and SE before extending the feature’s availability to new devices. According to Guttman’s complaint, Apple added the slowing feature to cover up the fact that out-of-date batteries couldn’t handle new OS updates. Apple misled individuals by hiding a tool in software updates that slowed their smartphones by up to 58 %, Guttman claimed, “instead of doing the honorable and lawful thing by their customers and offering a free [battery] replacement, repair service, or compensation.”\nIf Guttman prevails, Apple would be forced to reimburse more than 25 million UK customers who bought the harmed phones for up to £750 million in damages. The business was previously hit with a €10 million fine in Italy for failing to give consumers the knowledge they needed for battery maintenance and replacement. Additionally, it consented to pay up to $500 million to resolve one of the US lawsuits it was involved in to the iPhone delay in 2020. Each participant in the settlement received up to $25.\nApple provided the following statement to The Guardian:\n“We have never—and will never—do anything to purposefully reduce the lifespan of any Apple product or harm the user experience in an effort to encourage customers to upgrade. Making iPhones endure as long as feasible is a key component of our ongoing effort to produce goods that people enjoy.”", "domain": "law"}

Though the Chief minister called it courtesy meeting, sources suggest that he indicated to Governor that he would like to call an assembly session sometime next week.\nThe Congress, sources added, will take a call on the matter only after Tuesday, after the Rajasthan High Court takes a call on petition filed by Sachin Pilot camp on disqualification notice sent by the Speaker.\nThe rebel camp had claimed that Sachin Pilot had 30 MLAs who were willing to walk with him if needed from the government in Rajasthan – a number enough to bring down the government of Mr Gehlot. But Mr Gehlot says he has 109 MLAs loyal to him.\nSachin Pilot has been around Delhi with his rebel MLAs since the weekend. His running feud with Ashok Gehlot escalated after he was asked to answer questions on the alleged conspiracy to bring down the government in which he was number two. As he refused to return to Jaipur and skipped meetings called by the Chief Minister, he was removed as Deputy Chief Minister and Rajasthan Congress chief. But in Delhi, the Congress leadership continues its efforts to bring him around.\nMr Pilot, after being sacked as Deputy Chief Minister and president of the Congress unit in Rajasthan, has gone to court to challenge the move to disqualify him and 18 others from the Rajasthan assembly. The Congress says they acted against the party by defying instructions to appear at two meetings this week that were chaired by Mr Gehlot.", "domain": "law"}

Earlier in the day, Sergeant Kumli made an arrest for a stolen car. The persons involved were found in possesion of the methamphetamine. Since the department’s drug lab scandal in 2010, all officers must conduct a preliminary narcotics lab test in the field in an effort to weed out corruption on the force. Once tested, the arresting officer must bring the narcotics and the test results to the crime lab. This was the first field narcotics lab test for the recruits, who, after spending 31 weeks at the police academy, were in the beginning of their 17-week field training program. This is one of the longest training programs for police officers in the United States.\nOfficer Dominic Vannucchi stops a speeding car in San Francisco’s Tenderloin district. The driver of the car accused Officer Vannucchi and his partner Officer Mona Klaib of stopping him because of his race. Officer Vannucchi is white. Officer Klaib is of Middle Eastern descent. The driver was black, had an expired license, and was a convicted felon. After running his record, the officers decided to allow the driver to call a friend with a valid license to drive his car away.\nAfter beginning their 11am to 9pm walking beat in the Tenderloin district with coffee, Officer Kevin Cuadro and Officer Kevin Fong check in with the security at Crazy Horse Gentleman’s Club on Market Street. On a walking beat, officers often build long standing relationships with everday members of the community they police. According to the officers, getting to know the people who live and work in the community is one of the best ways to prevent crime.\nOfficer Kevin Fong attends to lost child on a corner in the Tenderloin district known for active drug dealing. Officer Fong, who was being helped by members of the community, found the child’s mother in a laundry mat down the street.\nOfficer Michael Scott responds to a call of a man and a woman who were physically attacked by a former girlfriend while parked in a supermarket parking lot. The couple decided to not press charges. After speaking with the couple, Officer Scott and his partner, Officer Marcus Wells, left the scene.\nResponding to a report of someone standing precariously on the roof, Officer Dominic Vannucchi inspects the top floor and roof of an single room occupancy hotel (SROs) on 6th street in the Tenderloin. The 6th street area houses a series of SROs, some of the cheapest accomodation in San Francisco. The blocks surrounding these SROs are characterized by drug use, violence, and homelessness and are blocks away from the headquarters of some of the largest technology companies in San Francisco. Officer Vannunchi and his partner, Officer Mona Klaib, did not find anyone on the roof.\nSergeant Lloyd Martin, a 22-year veteran of the SFPD, responds to sort out a situation at a domestic violence call involving reports of a knife in the Ingleside District. After conferring with the officers who first responded, Sergeant Martin detains the son and proceeds to speak with each party separately.\nOfficer Mona Klaib, who at the time was finishing up her one year probationary period as a new officer, rests while her partner drives to the gas station during a swing shift at Tenderloin Station. Officers in the SFPD work a rotating schedule of 10 hour shifts, which sometimes extend to 14 hours with overtime. There is no scheduled break or lunch schedule as the nature of the job is unpredicable.\nOfficer Michael Scott approached the window of a house after a reported domestic violence dispute between a father and son. The father had just escaped from the window and reported to officers that he had barricaded himself into the bedroom because his son was wielding a knife. In spite of the information portrayed in the media and hollywood, officers believe edged weapons pose some of the greatest risks to officer safety and the citizens they are tasked to protect.\nA group of six officers hold down a man before paramedics arrive to sedate him. The man, who according to the officers gave indications of Phencyclidine (PCP) use, was being arrested in the Outer Mission District for assaulting a nearby homeless man. When approached by the first officers on the scene, the man in custody violently resisted arrest.\nDuring midday lineup, officers at Ingleside station listen to Captain Joe McFadden as he updates his officers on recent events, including the forced resignation of Chief Greg Suhr two days before and the appointment of interim Chief Toney Chaplin. At the beginning of every shift, officers lineup for attendance and series of announcements from the commanding officer, usually a lieutenant in charge of day-to-day station operations.\nOn a six hour ride along, Sergeant Josh Kumli, a 15-year veteran of the SFPD, candidly discusses the issues plaguing the department two days after the forced resignation of Chief Greg Suhr on May 22, 2016. The former chief was removed from office after the fourth police killing of a black or hispanic person in the previous six months, a statistic that galvanized local political efforts to seek his termination.", "domain": "law"}

Businesses must qualify for the exemption and notification must be provided to the State of Maryland's Comptroller's Office in order to be eligible.\nPROPERTY TAX CREDIT\nThe Property Tax Incentive is for renovation of approved spaces in the Wheaton A&E District for artistic purposes. A 10 year credit reduces the increase in the property tax that occurs when the assessment increases after partial or complete renovation of a building.\nThe building must be zoned:\nThe project must include either new construction (whole or in part) or renovation to certain buildings located within the District\nThe building/renovation must encompass space for an A&E Enterprise or create workspace or live-work space for artists\nThis tax abatement is available for a period of up to 10 years based on the level of improvements made to the property.\nThe improvements can receive the property tax credit if they are found to be capable for use by a qualifying artist or an arts and entertainment enterprise.\nINCENTIVES FOR ARTISTS WHO SELL, WORK, OR PERFORM IN THE DISTRICT\nINCOME TAX SUBTRACTION MODIFICATION PROGRAM\nQualifying artists who live in Maryland, and who produce or sell work in any District, may be eligible for a Maryland personal income tax subtraction modification.\nThis modification eliminates state and local income tax on their income from the sale, publication, or production within the District of their artistic work that is written, composed, or executed within the District. This includes income derived from internet, mail order, and catalog sales of artistic work that is shipped from within a District to buyers in another location, if the qualifying artist created that artistic work within the District.\nTo take advantage of this incentive, qualifying artists must complete Maryland tax forms 502 and 502AE.\nPUBLIC ART AMENITY – OPTIONAL METHOD OF DEVELOPMENT\nIn Montgomery County, private companies with a property under development have the option of installing public art to satisfy a public space requirement. The County receives public artworks as an amenity provided by private developers in exchange for increased density. Developers may choose to provide the artwork on their site as part of their public space requirement or may pay into the public art fund. This process was established in 1974 under the optional method standards of the Zoning Ordinance. The goal of the optional method is to create a more attractive urban environment through a package of public amenities designed to support increased density. Artworks approved under the optional method must be in publicly accessible and visible locations. More information about the process can be found here.", "domain": "law"}

The 23rd Civil Support Team (CST), part of the VI National Guard, U.S. Postal Inspection Service, VITEMA, and FBI Weapons of Mass Destructions (WMD) coordinator responded along with the FBI St. Thomas Resident Agency (RA) and other federal and local agencies. The CST preliminary assessed the powders at both locations to be non-hazardous, pending final determination by the Lab Response Network (LRN).\nOn August 31, on St. Thomas, approximately 24 suspicious powder letters were found at the Ron de Lugo Federal Building, the Frenchtown Post Office, Scotia Bank and one private attorney’s office. The 23rd CST, FBI WMD coordinator, U.S. Postal Inspector Service, VITEMA and local agencies responded.\nCST preliminarily assessed the powders to be non-hazardous, pending final determination by the LRN. The FBI, U.S. Postal Inspection Service, VI Fusion Center and VIPD identified Winston as the suspect and subsequently arrested her.\nThe quick response and resolution by the FBI and its partners demonstrates our resolve in quickly bringing to justice anyone who threatens the safety and security of the Virgin Islands. Even false hoaxes and threats divert critical law enforcement resources that are intended to serve and protect our citizens. The penalties for these types of crimes are very serious.\nFor this reason, we will continue to make it a top priority to identify and apprehend the perpetrators of large scale threats and hoaxes so that our colleagues at the United States Attorney’s Office can prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.\nIf convicted, the defendant faces up to 10 years in prison. This case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney (AUSA) Kim Chisholm, and jointly investigated by the FBI and the United States Postal Inspection Service.\nThe public is reminded a criminal complaint contains only charges and is not evidence of guilt. A defendant is presumed to be innocent until proven guilty. The U.S. government has the burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.", "domain": "law"}

Presently, Seattle has about 1,400 police officials and the present plan would result in around 100 cut. Besides, the proposal would also cut the department’s USD 400mn budget by around USD 3 million, as per KOMO.\nThe only ‘no’ vote came from Councilmember Kshama Sawant as she felt that the proposal did not go that far enough, as per MyNorthWest.com.\nA final set of the amendments were reviewed by the council before the vote, which included lowering the city’s police department by around 100 officers via attribution and layoffs. It also included reducing the USD 285,000 yearly salary of Police Chief Carmen Best as well as other top ranking officers.\nThe city council’s plan further eliminates the officers from one team that dismantles the homeless camps.\nAs per few council members, the initial reductions are the first step to further sweeping cuts as well as a rethinking of Seattle’s law enforcement.", "domain": "law"}

Terrorism includes – but is not limited to – an act which involves the exercise of violence or the threat of the use of violence, committed with a political, religious, ideological, or ethnic purpose or justification, with the intention of influencing a government and/or spread fear in the public or sections of the public. This applies regardless of whether the action is conducted by one person or several persons, and regardless of whether they act on their own or in connection with one or more organizations and/or authorities. In order to characterize the act as terrorism, it is assumed that the act is suitable to influence a government and/or spread fear in the public or parts of it.\n39c.

Tax liens are typically imposed by a local government for non-payment of property taxes. However, other taxing authorities, such as the IRS, may also impose tax liens for non-payment of income taxes. In jurisdictions that impose personal property taxes, tax liens may attach to personal property as well.\nAre these the same as tax deeds?\nNo. A tax deed is where the property is sold to satisfy the taxes and the purchaser/investor receives a deed to the property. This is different from a tax lien sale where the purchase/investor receives the lien and typically first position at the Recorder’s office with a right to foreclose the lien if the taxes aren’t paid in a period of time set by statute.\nWhich is right for my retirement account?\nSelf-directed retirement account funds are typically invested are property tax liens. These are usually good investments for beginners or for those who do not have a great deal of money in their retirement account. They are also fairly safe investments because they are secured by real estate. Because the sale of tax liens is set by state or local statute, it is important to know and understand the laws of the jurisdiction in which you wish to invest.\nHow do these investments work?\nThere are actually two ways in which you can invest in tax liens or tax deeds with your MyRA self-directed IRA.\nYou can learn the rules yourself. This means that you would do all of your own research on liens available in the area in which you’d like to invest. After you’ve decided on pursuing this investment type, ask your retirement account custodian for a cashier’s check made payable to that county’s auditor. Next, go to the county’s lien or deed auction and bid on the liens you’ve selected and have the County title the lien in the name of your retirement account and deliver the lien certificate to your custodian.\nAlternatively, you can research companies that offer turnkey tax lien services to the public and contract with one of them to purchase liens in the area in which you would like to invest. There are a number of reputable companies in the marketplace, but do your research before signing a contract. Seek advice from your tax, financial and legal advisors. Once you’ve selected a company, ask your retirement account custodian to forward the necessary funds to the company. The company will purchase the liens, have them titled to your retirement account and have the certificates forwarded to your custodian. The company will also track the repayment of the lien and the expiration of the repayment period. If the period expires before repayment occurs, the company will typically advise you as to the foreclosure process and help you move forward with the process.\nHow do I get started?\nFirst you will need a self-directed retirement account, like the MyRA offered here at The Kingdom Trust Company. You can complete one of the forms below (depending on the type of retirement account you are interested in) or you can open a MyRA account online.\nIf you need assistance with getting started, give us a call at 888-753-MyRA (6972) and we will discuss the investment with you.", "domain": "law"}

A cash gift carries a federal income tax deduction of up to 50 percent of adjusted gross income. When cash gifts exceed 50 percent of adjusted gross income in any one-year, the excess may be carried forward for up to five years. A charitable gift may be deductible from state as well as federal income tax further enhancing cost savings. The advice of your legal counsel should be obtained in all gift considerations.\nContribution of appreciated securities, held long-term (those securities owned for more than 12 months), eliminates the tax on capital gains and provides a charitable deduction based on the current fair market value of the securities. Allowable federal income tax deduction in gifting securities is limited to 30 percent of adjusted gross income for that year. Excess may be carried forward for up to five additional years. Securities may also fund a life income arrangement, bypassing or minimizing capital gains tax and generating an immediate income tax deduction, as well as regular quarterly payments. It is important to note that gifts of appreciated assets, under the tax law passed in January 1993, are no longer subject to The Alternative Minimum Tax.\nOutright gifts of cash or marketable securities are encouraged as the most immediately beneficial to the Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks Foundation.\nIf you give closely held stock to the Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks Foundation, you can avoid the capital gains tax on the appreciation of the stock and obtain an immediate income tax deduction for the full fair market value of the gift. This deduction is limited to 30 percent of your adjusted gross income in that year. However, you may carry over, for up to five additional years, the deductibility on contributions that qualify under the 30 percent limitation rule.\nShould you have a life insurance policy that has outlived its original purposes, you might wish to consider putting the money to work for the Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks Foundation. You can amend the existing policy so that the Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks Foundation is named owner and irrevocable beneficiary; or you can take a policy on which you have paid some of the premiums and give it, claiming an income tax deduction on the present value of the policy (close to the cash surrender value) at the time the gift is made. In this situation, you can also continue to pay the premiums and claim continuing tax deductions, or you may decide to make additional outright gifts over and above your annual gifts to the Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks Foundation, and be eligible for income tax deduction.\nGifts of real estate can generate significant tax benefits, and help avoid estate settlement problems. The gift may be a home or vacation property, a farm or ranch, a commercial building, subdivision lots, or undeveloped land. The entire property or a fractional interest (part of the property) may be given.\nIndividual financial needs and goals will determine the method most appropriate.\nThe following gift arrangements may be used for gifts to the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Foundation. Our staff are prepared to discuss these options in general terms with our donors. However, donors are advised to consult with their accountants and tax attorneys in determining which gift options are most suitable for each donor.\nA trust arrangement enables you to make a major gift to the Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks Foundation during your lifetime and receive the income from cash, securities or other property given. The income from these trusts is available to you, or a named income beneficiary, during your lifetime and if desired, for the lifetime of a second income beneficiary. At the time you give, you will receive an immediate charitable deduction on your income tax (with carry forward for five years) and capital gain is avoided.\nYou can make a significant contribution to a charitable lead trust during your lifetime, managed by your named fiduciary trustee, to the Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks Foundation and at the same time pass assets on to future generations. The lead trust generates an income stream from assets, placed in trust, which is directed to the institution for a period of years. This dependable, annual income allows the institution to continue and expand programs in the present, while designating to your heirs the trust assets at end of term. A gift to a charitable lead trust may enable a donor to make a large, deferred gift to both the Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks Foundation and his or her heirs at a very low gift and/or estate tax cost.\nGift and estate taxes, as a result of making this gift, are markedly less than would be the case if the same assets were transferred either during a lifetime or by bequest.\nA Charitable Gift Annuity promises future ownership of assets to the Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks Foundation while you retain a source of income for life. You make a gift of cash, stock, or other assets to the institution, in exchange for a guaranteed income for life. Income may be paid to two life beneficiaries. Annual fixed income payment amount is determined by age(s) at the time the gift is made and the amount of the assets given.\nA gift annuity qualifies you for a charitable income tax deduction in the year of the gift. Establishing a gift annuity to the Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks Foundation requires a minimum gift of $5,000, or more.\nA bequest is not subject to federal, estate, or state inheritance taxes. The value of the bequest is deductible in determining the taxable estate, and there is no limit on the amount of the deduction. Whether a donor is writing a will for the first time, revising an existing will, or adding a codicil, an attorney should always be consulted to determine the type of bequest best suited to estate plans.\nBequests may be written in absolute dollar amounts, as a percentage of estate value, contingent upon other terms or circumstances, or as a residual of an estate.\nAdditonal information on planned giving may be obtained at: http://www.endowmontana.org/links.html*Donate to the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Foundation", "domain": "law"}

Located on Russell Street of Melbourne CBD (Central Business District), this museum once housed the most notorious criminals of Australia – one of which the ever famous outlaw & serial killer Ned Kelly (who some believed to be Jack the Ripper).\nThis place has a rich history of Australia’s penal & justice system as its walls were a witness to all executions & struggles of the inmates of the gaol. It also contains a lot of memorabilia from both inmates & staff – including the different tools & equipment used when executing criminals. Ghost & paranormal activities were also reported by staff & visitors. Conveniently, it is located right beside the old City Police Watch House and City Courts buildings.\nHow to get there\nLocation: 377 Russell Street, Melbourne, Victoria, 3000\nIt is pretty much a block or two away from the State Library of Victoria (Swanson St)- you can either walk or ride the free tram and coming from the library, the nearest tram stop is 6-Swanston St/La Trobe St or Stop 7 -Russell St/La Trobe St.\nAdmission Fee & Operating Hours\nAdult is charged AUD 28; this already includes access to the Gaol & Police Watch House. The Gaol is self-guided but the Police Watch House access has a schedule – which is usually posted on the entrance or the staff will remind you upon purchase of your ticket.\nThey are open daily 9AM – 5PM (except Christmas & Good Friday).\nOld Melbourne Gaol’s History\n“It was first constructed starting in 1839, and during its operation as a prison between 1842 and 1929, it held and executed some of Australia’s most notorious criminals, including bushranger Ned Kelly and serial killer Frederick Bailey Deeming. In total, 133 people were executed by hanging. Though it was used briefly during World War II, it formally ceased operating as a prison in 1924; with parts of the gaol being incorporated into the RMIT University, and the rest becoming a museum.”\nThe tour has two parts, one is the self-guided tour inside the Gaol where you can see the old cell blocks – each telling a story of the inmates who stayed inside & the crimes they committed or were accused of.The ground area is very dim, not just because they wanted to add drama to the experience, but being a prison, it does not have large windows & without the minimal light bulbs around the area – the only source of light is the ceiling.\nThe Gaol area is a three-story building and visitors are free to enter the prison cells with mannequins, posters or videos inside that share the story of the inmate or the place itself. On each floor corners, they display some of the tools and/or equipments used to torture or execute prisoners.\nAfter your self-guided tour, the next part is the guided tour of the Police Watch House. It is located right beside the Gaol building but do note that the entrance is in front & not the side of the Watch House. So after exiting the Gaol museum, exit the gate & walk towards the front of the Watch House building. Usually, there is a line in front & staff are willing to point you to the right direction. Make sure as well to not lose your ticket as you need to show this to the ‘Chief Sergeant’ before you can enter.\nThis for me is the fun part of my Melbourne Gaol experience. Inside, the ‘Chief Sergeant’ will conduct an activity where all visitors will act as if they were a prisoner of the Gaol. Some of us were given specific roles to play as an outlaw & had the chance to stay inside a prison cell – all locked up & with no light.\nInside the Police Watch House, the ‘Chief Sergeant’ shared many stories of how inmates or suspects were booked & locked up. They have prison cells that were padded – dedicated to criminals who were mentally-insane or has the tendency to harm themselves or others. When you get to visit the padded cell room, take a look at the foot prints that go up until the ceiling – no one knows how those foot prints reached the top – just one of the mysteries of the Gaol.\nThere were also a specific cell where unruly or drunk criminals were hosed down with cold water – naked – to calm them down. One of which died due to pneumonia & was only found a few hours later. No wonder the place is rich of ghost stories because of the negative vibes these walls experienced all throughout the place was operational.\nThis place is highly-recommended when visiting Melbourne – make sure not to miss this place as it is both entertaining & educational – something that can make your vacation/trip worthwhile.", "domain": "law"}

Now privacy groups, including the Electronic Privacy Information Center, are taking issue with AskEraser, calling it “unfair and deceptive” and lodging a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission.\nThe groups allege that AskEraser isn’t as pro-privacy as it claims, for three reasons (paraphrased): it requires cookie-blockers turned off in a browser for the installation of the AskEraser cookie, which then remember not to track that user; said cookie is a way to identify a user because of time stamps; and Ask can disable AskEraser without notice. Ask.com says they unsuccessfully tried to speak to EPIC before the group filed with the FTC, and that EPIC’s document is inaccurate and outdated. From Wired, which quotes Ask.com spokesman Nicholas Graham:\nEPIC’s filing is flawed in the sense that the document they filed is factually inaccurate, and simply shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the functionality of our product. In addition, many of the issues they raise are outdated, while others are completely misguided from the outset, and others deal with changes that Ask.com already made to AskEraser weeks ago, and were subsequently posted publicly on our website.\nChanges “made to AskEraser weeks ago” were editing the cookie settings so there’s no longer a time stamp, so at least part of EPIC’s claim is based on an outdated claim.\nBut what’s more interesting with this issue is Search Engine Land’s point wondering why these groups didn’t lead with the fact that that Ask.com actually does collect some data for its partners, most famous of whom is probably Google. From Search Engine Land:\nThat’s a far bigger issue, and I’m surprised EPIC didn’t lead with that, rather than the three other points that are easy to take apart. Someone engaging AskEraser probably does not understand or expect that their query and IP address, along with perhaps a unique cookie ID, is flowing over to Google so that Ask can retrieve ads. And they are not reasonably expecting they have to go to Google or another partner to try and delete information there (if they can — they probably can’t).\nThat’s the big flaw with AskEraser. The complain also notes that those using the Ask toolbar won’t get AskEraser protection, even if enabled. On that point, I think the FAQ is clear enough.\nAsk.com is fairly thorough and forthcoming in its AskEraser FAQ, and AskEraser is definitely way ahead of the privacy policies of other engines. What do you think: Are the privacy groups’ claims that AskEraser is “unfair and deceptive” justified?", "domain": "law"}

So I riddled myself this: How long could you continuously watch Law and Order without repeating an episode? Here is the mathematical breakdown. Prepare to be awed!\nLaw and Order, the original, debuted September 13, 1990. At the end of this season, 456 episodes will have aired. If you figure that each episode, minus commercials, runs about 42 minutes, that's a total of 19,152 minutes, or 319.20 hours, or 13.3 days.\nLaw and Order: SVU debuted September 20, 1999. At the end of this season, 248 episodes with the amazing Ice-T will have aired. That breaks down to 10,416 minutes, or 173.6 hours, or 7.23 days.\nLaw and Order: Criminal Intent debuted September 30, 2001, with the fab Vincent D'Onofrio. At the end of this season, 187 episodes will have aired. That equals 7,854 minutes, or 130.9 hours, or 5.45 days.\nSo, if you got the entire shebang on DVD, and watched them from start to finish, you could conceivably watch Law and Order nonstop for 37,422 minutes, or 623.7 hours, or 26 days.\n\"In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate but equally important groups: the police, who investigate the crime; and the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders. These are their stories.\" For 26 days straight. Wow.", "domain": "law"}

The process involves several crucial steps that ensure compliance with state laws while setting the stage for a successful business venture. Prospective pawnbrokers must navigate the legalities, financial planning, and operational details to establish a reputable and profitable pawn operation.\nAcquiring the appropriate licensing is a fundamental step for future pawn shop owners in Texas. To meet the state requirements for operating a pawn establishment, they must submit the necessary documentation to the Texas Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner, including financial statements and experience affidavits. Once the legal framework is in place, entrepreneurs can focus on the logistical aspects, such as finding a location, sourcing inventory, and implementing operational systems to help manage the business’s day-to-day activities.\n- Successful pawn shop operation in Texas begins with obtaining state-required licensing.\n- Financial planning and understanding pawn industry regulations are crucial.\n- Operational essentials include location setup, inventory management, and customer service.\nGetting Started with Your Pawn Shop in Texas\nEntering the pawn shop business in Texas requires meticulous planning and compliance with state regulations. This section will guide prospective pawnbrokers through the essential steps of formulating a business plan, navigating Texas’ legislative landscape, and choosing an optimal location for their business.\nCreating a Business Plan\nA solid business plan, including a pawn shop, is a cornerstone for any successful venture. It should outline specific goals, target market insights, and financial projections. The plan should include startup costs, potential revenue streams, and market research findings on the pawn industry’s buying and selling aspects. This document will provide a roadmap for the business owner and is also critical when applying for licensing and securing financing.\nUnderstanding Texas Pawnbroking Regulations\nNavigating through Texas regulations is crucial for operating within the legal framework. Prospective pawnbrokers must obtain a state-issued license for each location they operate. The Texas Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner (OCCC) oversees pawnshop regulations and licenses and offers a step-by-step guide on renewing Pawn Employees. Compliance with Texas’ finance codes and local zoning laws must be addressed to ensure the location chosen for your business can legally operate as a pawn shop.\nSelecting a Strategic Location\nThe location of a pawn shop can significantly influence its success. One should consider high-traffic areas that are easily accessible to the target demographics. Adequate visibility and parking can also affect the number of customers who visit the shop. It is imperative to verify that the chosen site complies with local zoning laws for businesses, especially pawn shops, to avoid legal complications. The business’s location will also play a role in the competition analysis within the business plan, providing insights into the competitive landscape of the area.\nLegal and Financial Considerations\nOpening a pawn shop in Texas requires careful attention to legal frameworks and financial organization. This involves selecting an appropriate business structure, obtaining the necessary licenses, and establishing robust financial practices.\nForming Your Business Structure\nWhen starting a pawn shop, one must determine the type of business entity they wish to establish. This decision impacts liability, taxes, and record-keeping. The options include:\n- Sole Proprietorship: This is an unincorporated business with one owner who pays personal income tax on profits.\n- Partnership: In a partnership, two or more people share ownership. Partners are responsible for debts and report their share of business profits or losses.\n- Limited Liability Company (LLC): An LLC provides liability protection like a corporation, with the tax benefits of a sole proprietorship or partnership.\n- Corporation: This entity is independent of its owners and has extensive requirements, including a board of directors and corporate officers.\nAn Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS is essential for tax administration and opening a business bank account.\nSecuring Pawnbroker’s Licensing\nObtaining a pawnbroker’s license is essential for legal operation. Applicants must provide:\n- Personal affidavits and employment history\n- A complete background check with electronic fingerprints\n- A financial statement proving a sound financial situation\nThe Texas Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner oversees the entire process. Coordination with the Comptroller of Public Accounts ensures adherence to state tax requirements.\nManaging Finances and Accounting\nFinancial management entails:\n- Organizing budgets and cash flow\n- Establishing accounting procedures\n- Handling sales taxes and financial reporting to regulatory bodies\nPawn shops must adopt appropriate accounting systems to record transactions, manage loans, and track inventory. Staying compliant with IRS rules and filing the correct tax forms on time is also crucial. Regular financial reviews help maintain a stable financial situation and prevent costly tax payments and loan management missteps.\nSetting Up Shop\nOpening a pawn shop in Texas involves meticulous planning to build a robust inventory, ensuring comprehensive safety and insurance measures are in place, and executing an effective launch strategy.\nBuilding Inventory and Supplies\nAn aspiring pawn shop owner must start by acquiring a diverse range of inventory that appeals to the local market. This includes valuable items such as jewelry, electronics, musical instruments, and tools. They should also procure all necessary supplies for tagging, storing, and displaying these items securely and attractively.\n- Inventory Acquisition: Jewelry, electronics, etc.\n- Supplies: Tags, shelves, cases, software for inventory management\nEnsuring Safety and Insurance\nSafety for employees and customers is paramount in a pawn shop. Owners should install security systems like surveillance cameras and safes. Comprehensive insurance policies that cover theft, damage, and liability are also necessary. Proof of insurance is critical for the licensing process.\n- Security Hardware: Cameras, safes, alarm systems\n- Insurance Policies: Liability, property, and employee coverage\nLaunching Your Pawn Shop\nA successful launch requires strategic marketing to build awareness. One should establish a professional website and utilize social media for promotions. A well-planned grand opening event can attract initial customers and generate buzz in the community.\n- Marketing: Website development, social media campaigns\n- Grand Opening: Promotional events, special offers\nA thorough understanding of pawn loans and establishing customer trust are critical when operating a pawn shop in Texas. These operational essentials lay the groundwork for success.\nUnderstanding Pawn Loans and Collateral\nPawn shops provide short-term loans to customers who pledge property as collateral. The loan amount is generally a fraction of the item’s resale value. If a borrower fails to repurchase the item within the agreed terms, the pawnshop may sell it. Pawnshop operators must assess items accurately to offer fair pawn loans that maintain profitability while also adhering to Texas’s interest rate regulations by the regulatory authority. They must obtain the proper pawnshop license to operate and ensure all transactions comply with state laws. Aspects of collateral loans include:\n- Appraisal Skills: Accurate valuation of collateral items.\n- Loan Terms: Clear communication of interest rates, loan duration, and redemption policies.\n- Legal Compliance: Following state regulations on lending practices.\nBuilding Trust and Customer Relations\nEstablishing customer trust is essential for any small business, especially in pawnbroking. A brand that is known for fair dealings will attract and retain customers. Key strategies include:\n- Transparency: Providing customers with clear contract terms for pawn loans.\n- Customer Service: Responsive and respectful service encourages repeat business.\n- Security: Proper insurance to safeguard customer’s collateral items.\nPromotion and community engagement are also vital. A strategic advertising campaign can position the pawn shop as a trustworthy and reliable entity within the market. Competition is a reality, so understanding what other competitors offer can help tailor services that meet unique customer needs, always under the oversight of the Texas regulatory authority.\nFrequently Asked Questions\nIn this section, readers will find precise answers to common inquiries regarding the establishment, funding, and operation of pawn shops in Texas, including crucial steps and compliance with state regulations.\nWhat are the initial steps to establish a pawn shop in terms of licensing and regulations?\nOne must adhere to specific licensing requirements and regulations to establish a pawn shop in Texas.

There are over 1,000 communities that have used this method to help finance economic development. At the same time, it is probably the most misunderstood and confusing term at the municipal level.\nIn a nutshell, tax increment finance uses future property tax revenue generated from proposed development to finance infrastructure projects that will improve a given geographic area (tax increment district). For example, a community might identify an area near a highway interchange that has potential for new development but the cost of extending sewer and water service to the area simply outweighs the profit a developer might generate from the project, as well as the additional property tax that the community would get from the new development. Keep in mind that a local city or village might have a property tax rate of $2-$6 per $1,000 of new property value.\nIf the community in the above example were to form a tax increment district for the project they would be allowed to capture all the new property taxes generated from the project until the cost of the infrastructure improvements are paid (with some limitations). Instead of the $2-$6 per $1,000 of new property tax value, the community would be allowed to keep the whole amount of property tax paid by the new development of $20-$30 per $1,000 of new property value. In short, this would make it feasible for a community to spend say $1 million to extend services if the project were to generate $6 million of new taxable development. After the infrastructure costs are paid back the community dissolves the tax increment district and all the taxing jurisdictions share the additional property tax just as they do with any other taxable property.\nFrom the perspective of a businessperson, tax increment finance can provide incentives that otherwise would not be available. The Wisconsin tax increment finance law allows a tremendous amount of flexibility regarding what a community can offer a business for incentives. While it is not legal for a community to offer lower property taxes to one business or group of businesses, tax increment finance allows the community to provide direct or indirect incentives to the business or businesses. These incentives can take the form of actual cash payments or they can be in the form of improved roads, sewer or water service, or other site improvements.\nIn short, this entry is intended to help simplify a concept that can be confusing. We hope that this helps you understand tax increment finance and how it can benefit you as a businessperson.

The lightly attended, 20-minute event was the final Island stop of an extensive public outreach campaign by the commission that began last fall.\nFollowing the same protocol of the Oct. 17 public hearing, commission members — general counsel Christine Baily and commissioner Britte McBride — took public comment but did not answer questions.\nCommissioners received a warm welcome, with several commenters giving them kudos for the commission’s work to date.\nAja Atwood, of Mashpee, co-founder of Trella Technologies, complimented the commission on its public outreach efforts.\n“The public drafted this document, this is what we voted for,” she said, referring to the 100-page draft of proposed regulations that the commission has written over the course of its public listening tour. Atwood suggested there is room for improvement in the area of testing, and that regulations should be set and managed by a third party. “Test results should not go to the cultivators without any form of oversight,” she said. “We need to ensure all products that are received are safe.”\nAtwood also addressed local opposition to legalization, which has cropped up frequently. “To those who created a petition campaign to scrap the regulations, mainly on Cape Cod, stating that ‘the draft goes beyond what the people of Massachusetts voted for,’ I beg to differ,” she said. “The people who attended previous public hearings and wrote letters and emails, they are the ones who drafted this document.”\nKaylea Moore, legislative liaison for Martha’s Vineyard for state representative Dylan Fernandes said it was essential that the commission address the Island factor — cannabis products will have to be shipped across federal waters to reach Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket, and will have to be sent to the mainland for testing. In June, Fernandes, along with state Sen. Julian Cyr, who also represents the islands, amended the state adult-use marijuana law to require the commission to promulgate regulations that address the Island factor. “Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket require special accommodation. The cookie cutter state policy often does not fit the needs of Dukes and Nantucket counties,” Moore said, reading from a prepared statement. “The regulations must take into consideration the legal implications of the unique geography of the Islands.”\nDavid O’Brien, east coast director of government relations for Weedmaps, a California-based cannabis company that provides software to licensed cannabis operators and maintains an online directory of medical and non-medical dispensaries in the United States and Europe, complimented the commission for “putting forward a regulatory framework that has the potential to make Massachusetts a national leader in cannabis policy.” In particular, Mr. O’Brien cited the commission’s work on independent lab testing standards and the inclusion of social consumption regulations.\nMr. O’Brien asked the commission to reduce the cultivation licensing fee from 25 cents to 10 cents per square foot of the grow operation. He said the municipal opposition that has cropped up across the state will limit the number of licenses and properties for marijuana retailers and suggested the commission require license holders to commit to a timeline to the opening of the establishment of not more than 12 to 18 months. He recommended the commission set the minimum investment capital for a license be $750,000.\nMr. O’Brien said no other state that has legalized adult-use marijuana has “host community agreements,” where cities and towns decide on financial compensation from the retail establishment and about whether to zone for medical and non-medical marijuana dispensaries. “Massachusetts is very much an outlier on this matter,” he said. “We encourage you to approach these regulations in a manner that makes these agreements workable and conducive to a functioning adult-use cannabis market and come up with a template that can be used statewide.” O’Brien suggested limited financial compensation to only gross sales of retailers, and not all the way down the supply line, which would result in a 29 percent tax rate.\nMassachusetts towns can authorize a 3 percent local sales tax at retail dispensaries.\nGeoff Rose, CEO of West Tisbury-based Patient Centric, asked that canopy area be better defined in the regulations as “combined diameters of individual plants, and that it should only include the space where adult plants are being grown, not aisle space and floor space used for storage, processing, packaging or dispensing.\nTisbury selectman Tristan Israel asked that the commission regulate packaging of edibles so that children do not mistake infused products for candy.\nThe final draft of the proposed regulations is to be released on March 15. License applications are to begin April 1. Licenses will be awarded in June and retail sales are scheduled to start July 1.\nWritten comments can be submitted to the commission at CannabisCommission@state.ma.us. until 5 pm, Thursday, Feb. 15.\nSpeaking to The Times after the meeting, commissioner Britte McBride said she’s been impressed by the thoughtfulness of the comments she’s received over the five months of public sessions.\n“We were charged with setting up safe and sensible regulations, while diminishing the illicit market, that’s what the voters asked us to do,” she said. “The whole point of the draft regulations is to get input where the answers may not be as clear. The public has really turned out in numbers, which is what we had hoped for.”\nMcBride acknowledged Dukes and Nantucket counties are in a unique situation when it comes to medical and non-medical marijuana. “It’s a tough nut to crack, but I know Senator Cyr and Representative Fernandes take it very seriously.”\nAlthough many on Beacon Hill are saying the process is being rushed, McBride said she still believes responsible regulations can be in place by July 1, but that won’t be the end of policy formulation.\n“It’s highly likely issues will come up from a diverse array of voices,” she said. “This is the foundation. We’re not done as of July 1.”\nMcBride acknowledged that a tough nut yet to be cracked is a decision on whether towns that place a moratorium on retail sales will be entitled to a share of the tax money raised from sales statewide.\nShe said product testing will initially be done by independent, accredited laboratories. In the long run, the commission hopes to establish state-run testing facilities.\nAddressing oversight concerns, McBride said the commission intends to hire a chief of investigations and enforcement and that spot inspections, secret shoppers, and I.D. checks will be part of an active monitoring effort.", "domain": "law"}

Real estate is no different. After reading a recent Realtor.com article, I found myself wondering, if a buyer can only make one offer at a time in a tight, low inventory environment, is it fair that a seller can wait and hold up responding to a buyers offer for the express purpose of soliciting multiple offers?\nIt’s certainly legal, maybe even a very successful marketing tactic, but why then are buyers expected, or sometimes even constrained by law to make only one offer at a time?\nOne case scenario –a Listing agent sets a low asking price for the express purpose of driving bids up artificially.\nHow ethical is that? It’s lawful, but is it ethical?\nUsual scenario – two or more buyers see a house in any 24 hour period of time. During the reasonable time frame a buyer allows a seller to make their decision, the agent is informed of another or several other offers coming in.\nSuddenly, the “fix” is in, the pressure is on and the original buyer finds themselves in a precarious situation. They saw the house first, they made the first offer, now they are stuck playing a guessing game of “who’s got the BEST offer?” This leaves a buyer possibly paying more than they really wanted to pay and maybe more than they SHOULD be paying! Many feel pressured into giving away their rights to home inspections, they are led to believe they’ve lost the ability to ask for closing cost help or for repairs to be made and essentially ending up purchasing “AS IS” for TOP DOLLAR!\nLawful, but is it ethical? What kind of response should agents have to this situation?", "domain": "law"}

And whether they went to the jail or the ER, it was expensive for everyone — the jails, the hospitals and the police department that had to pay for overtime while cops waited at the hospital.\nSan Antonio’s response was to require all officers to take a 40-hour course called Crisis Intervention Training – to learn how to handle mental health crises. But even with strong programs, there’s only so much that training alone can do; there’s still the problem of where to take patients [with serious mental illness].\nSan Antonio tackled that problem, too. People who commit a felony still go to jail, regardless of their mental status. And those who need extensive medical care are taken to the hospital. But San Antonio built another option: the Restoration Center, a separate facility with a full array of mental and physical health services.\nSan Antonio and Bexar County have transformed their mental health system into a program considered a model for the rest of the nation. Today, the jails aren’t full, and the city and county have saved $50 million over the past five years.”", "domain": "law"}

The rules for filing taxes are generally the same even when you are living outside the U.S., but there are some differences you should know about. You must file a return regardless of being paid in a foreign currency and being required to file a return in that foreign country. For tax purposes, U.S. possessions or territories are not foreign countries.\nWhen and Where to File\nAs a U.S. citizen or permanent resident working abroad, you are allowed a 2-month extension to the filing date, giving you a deadline of June 15th for a yearly return. You may also want to file estimated quarterly taxes. The October 15th deadline still applies for late filing, and you need to apply for this extension before June 15th.\nAs for where to file, the correct mailing addresses can be found on the IRS website. As with Americans filing at home, you are eligible for free electronic filing if your income is $57,000 or less. Use the free e-filing service on the IRS site to take advantage of this option. You may use DHL, FedEx, or UPS to ensure that you meet the deadlines for filing.\nPayment of Taxes\nYou must pay your taxes in U.S. dollars. Visit the IRS website for information on current exchange rates with the currency you are being paid in. You will be subject to interest and penalties for late payment of your taxes. If you are paying foreign taxes as well as U.S. taxes, you may receive a foreign tax credit or take a deduction on your payment of foreign taxes.\nYou may be eligible for the foreign earned income exclusion. This eligibility depends on how long you remain working abroad before returning to the U.S. and also on how much you earn. You must have resided for 330 consecutive days in the same country in order to be eligible for the exclusion. The income cap for the exclusion is around $9000 per year. See IRS publication 54 for details and up-to-date information on exclusions. Even if you are not eligible for the foreign earned income exclusion, you must file an income tax return with the IRS.\nTo Get Help\nThe IRS can be contacted by email. You may also get personal assistance by going directly to the American Embassies in some cities such as Frankfurt, Germany; London, England; Paris, France; and Beijing, China.\nSocial Security and Medicare Taxes\nYou will have to pay social security and Medicare taxes while earning income overseas under certain conditions, such as working for the U.S. Government, working for a U.S. resident, or working for a corporation organized in the U.S. You are also liable if you are working for a foreign affiliate of an American employer. Visit the IRS website for more information on payment of FICA taxes when working in foreign countries. Your employer should contact the Social Security Administration to determine if you should be exempt from paying social security taxes in the country where you are working. Certain countries listed on the IRS website have entered into what are called totalization agreements with the U.S. government in order to avoid double taxation of social security benefits.", "domain": "law"}

It defines legal rights and constraints regarding land use, and regulates size, impervious coverage of lots, density of development, building heights, parking requirements, and sign requirements for each parcel of land. The Zoning Map depicts the number and type of zoning districts, and delineates district boundaries throughout the Township.\nBeginning in 2015, Township staff and an ad-hoc committee embarked on an effort to review and update the existing Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map. The result of these efforts are the documents listed below. The intent of the proposed amendments is to carry out the objectives and goals from the Township’s recently adopted Comprehensive Plan. The amendments are also meant to reflect current lifestyles and community changes, as well as state law and legal/legislative actions.\nOn December 20, 2017, the Board of Commissioners adopted Ordinance 771, which repeals and replaces the existing Zoning Ordinance and amends the Zoning Map. Below are the final documents as well as a timeline history of the process. Should you have questions about the new Zoning Ordinance and/or Zoning Map, please contact the Community Development office at 717-766-0756.\nNOTICE OF ADOPTION\nThe Board of Commissioners adopted Ordinance 771 on Wednesday, December 20, 2017.\nNOTICE OF ENACTMENT\nThe Board of Commissioners will consider adopting the following ordinance to amend the Upper Allen TOwnship Zoning Map and repeal and replace Ordinance 588, as amended through Ordinance 619, the code of Upper Allen Township, Chapter 245, Zoning Ordinance.

Macaluso, DLA Piper LLP, March 6, 2012, originally published by Thomson Reuters Business Law Currents.\nMarch 30, 2012 is less than a month away. On that day the exemption of advisers to private equity funds and other private funds from the requirement to register with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission expires, as a result of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.\nIn announcing the new rules under Dodd-Frank on June 22, 2011, Mary Schapiro, SEC Chairman, was quoted as saying: “These rules will fill a key gap in the regulatory landscape. In particular, our proposal will give the [SEC], and the public, insight into hedge fund and other private fund managers who previously conducted their work under the radar and outside the vision of regulators.”1\nMeanwhile, in a letter2 which stands out in the increasingly polarized world of Washington for its signatories from both parties, 17 members of the House of Representatives (“Members”) asked for delay of the implementation of the rules as they apply to advisors to private equity funds.\nThe Members of the House who signed the letter make the argument that the SEC’s “registration requirement [does] not sufficiently consider the nature of private equity funds and the significant differences between private equity and other types of investors.” These differences were pointed out to be the employment of long-term investment strategies, locked in capital and the relative sophistication of private equity investors. In addition, according to the letter, Chairman Schapiro herself stated on October 26, 2011 that the private equity business model is working with a select group of companies and working with management to strengthen them over time.” These are not “systemic risks” but “investments that endure market fluctuations,” the Members point out.\nThe concerns raised by the Members relating to the regulation of private equity funds deserve wider discussion. Fundamentally, what constitutes a “gap” in the regulatory landscape is not a question the answer to which will be without consequences.\nInsufficient attention to such matters in the aftermath of the Enron fraud led to Sarbanes-Oxley3. While one can debate the merits of that legislation, one of its unintended consequences has been a continually decreasing share of US listed IPOs. According to Ernst & Young, the US raised just 15% of global capital in 2011, well below its past 10-year average levels of 28%4 despite the fact that global IPO volume has returned to pre-crisis levels. Another unintended consequence is that some companies choose to remain private to escape the regulatory burdens and associated costs of a listing despite attempts by Congress to lighten those burdens5. Neither consequence is particularly helpful to the capital formation process at a time when private capital should be encouraged to do more of the heavy lifting to return the economy to growth.\nFund managers preparing portfolio companies for listing on an exchange, and the companies themselves, are increasingly sophisticated consumers of a given country’s regulatory attitude, which translates into what this author calls the country’s “regulatory burden efficiency index.” Such an index could easily be constructed by taking into account the cumulative financial and non-financial regulatory burden a company faces in a particular jurisdiction, adjusted for how efficient such regulation actually is in achieving its necessary goals, the transparency of the process, and the cost of navigating the regulatory regime. A good example of how this plays out in practice is the actual case of a specific client attempting to determine the appropriate exchange for listing one of its portfolio companies. Although based in the United States, the manager eliminated the various US exchanges early in the process. What is clear is that clients already engage in a regulatory burden cost/benefit analysis to approximate such an index. To be fair, there are other factors that are taken into account in making this determination, such as how other companies of a similar type have fared in particular markets and the potential valuations achievable in particular markets, among others. However, it is also clear after many meetings in a number of countries with this particular client that the regulatory burden is a non-trivial consideration.\nWith the March 30 date approaching for private equity advisor registration, it might be useful to take another look at the Members’ letter as it is fundamental to determine whether adding a regulatory burden to a particular segment of an industry is necessary in the first place or would lead to more unintended consequences mitigating against capital formation and the global attractiveness of the US capital markets.\nIf things remain as they are relative to private equity advisor registrations, private equity funds will have to expend substantial resources to establish and maintain a compliance program. The Members who signed the letter fundamentally understand the issues. In the letter they note that “[s]ubjecting private equity firms to excessive regulation risks hindering our nation’s economic growth.”\nIn a continuously globalizing world, the old notion that US managers forming new funds groups would automatically form them in the United States also appears to be eroding. This can no longer be taken for granted. US private equity managers seeking to form a new funds group are now having their counsel perform a comparative analysis of the regulatory burden efficiency index in various jurisdictions in addition to the United States, again demonstrating that the US as the situs for the funds company is no longer the going-in assumption for these managers.\nThe Members rightly point out in the letter that an unnecessary regulatory burden not only misdirects resources the regulated parties have to deploy in order to comply, but also misdirects the resources of the regulator and adds to the cost of government.\nIn their letter, the Members ask the SEC to adopt a more streamlined registration process for private equity funds. While such a process is certainly welcome, the Members do not go far enough. There is precedent in Dodd-Frank for exceptional treatment of entities that are not deemed to pose systemic risks, particularly venture capital funds. It is time for the Members to consider adding private equity funds to that list by amending Dodd-Frank itself.\nMichael Macaluso is a partner in DLA Piper’s global Corporate Finance, Capital Markets and Investment Funds practices.

This is particularly alarming because speed is one of the major factors that cause fatal road crashes.\nFollowing speeding, the second most frequently committed crime was driving without insurance. While it’s legally required, however, the statistics show an astounding 10,286 drivers went to the roads with no insurance (IN10).\nIf you’re in the habit of driving a car that is uninsured in the UK, the driver may be subject to a fixed fine of PS300 plus six penalty points. If the case is taken through the courts, you may receive an unlimited fine and even be denied your driver’s license.\nIn certain instances, police may be able to take away or even destroy a vehicle that is without insurance.\nUtilizing a mobile device while at the steering wheel (CU80) is among the driving offenses that are growing in speed (35 percent higher than the same time in the previous year). This is a result of a clampdown following revisions made to the Highway Code last year, which made it illegal to touch your mobile phone while driving. That includes listening to music when you are waiting in traffic.\nThe fifth most frequent driving offense, which resulted in penalties, was due to owners of cars who failed to provide the details of who was driving the vehicle during the time a crime was committed (MS90).\nFive of the most frequently committed road traffic violations\n- SP30: Exceeding the statutory speed limit on public roads – 156,457 motorists\n- SP50: Exceeding the speed limit limit on an autobahn – 38,386 drivers\n- In10: Driving a car that is not covered against risk from third parties 10 286 drivers\n- CU80: Infraction to the rules in relation to controlling the vehicle, for example, the use of mobile phones 7,135 drivers\n- MS90: Failure to provide information regarding the identity of the driver, etc. 5,224 drivers", "domain": "law"}

Although this seems something that is unbelievable, the sad fact is that it happens far too frequently and whilst many people affected in this way think there is nothing that can be done, others seek the assistance of an injury attorney houston tx 2016 or a similar lawyer elsewhere in the country. It is unfortunate that these types of lawyers are needed in order to receive compensation or other payments which you are qualified or justified in receiving but in this modern age these lawyers are very busy and would be even busier if everybody realized just how effective they can be in such matters. Although personal injury lawyers have to deal with a wide variety of different types of claims ranging from railroad accident victims to cases where someone suffered a slip and injured their brain, many specialize in certain cases ensuring they can give the maximum benefit to their clients. An example of just how busy these type of lawyers can be, statistics show that a train derailment occurs as often as every 90 minutes on average and once every 2 weeks, one of those derailments involves a train which is carrying hazardous materials. Fortunately for the railroad companies though, most people that may have been affected in some way by one of these derailments do not realize that with the assistance of a personal injury lawyer, they could claim compensation for their injuries or discomforts. It is perhaps because the vast majority of people that should make claims don’t; that help to cause so many accidents. Although this may seem a strange thing to say, most railroad equipment is more than 70 years old, despite there being technology introduced which would make them safer. The companies that own the railroads though, think that updating their equipment is an expensive undertaking and so do not bother if though, all compensations that should be paid out were paid out; these companies would find it too expensive not to improve their safety record. Unfortunately making these companies pay seems the only way in which they will improve the safety of their equipment as, even the Federal Railroad Association has recognized that 80% of railroad crossings are inadequately marked and those are responsible or 50% of all the derailments. So it seems that knowing something is wrong and actually doing something about it are two different things, unless of course, it is cheaper to make things right than it is to leave them as they are. Obviously these large railroad companies have lawyers of their own but a good, experienced personal injury lawyer is equally their match and so not only can you receive the full compensations that you deserve, you may also be helping to save the lives of others in the future.", "domain": "law"}

This thread is devoted to question # 7, which reads: “What is an appropriate penalty for projects that fail to meet certification requirements? Should the penalty process include an opportunity for those projects to correct the error before the penalty is imposed?” For other question forums, as well as a general comment forum, click [here].\n7. Penalty for failure to meet certification requirements\nI think the question is a little unclear. I assume we mean “if someone is claiming to be certified, but is not” (but it could be interpreted as “if a project applies for certification and we put effort into this but then they fail”!)\nThe challenge here is that it is unlikely there would be much legal basis for imposing a financial or formal penalty (unless we set out to create one). Without a legal basis, only ‘well behaving’ projects would pay any penalty (and of course such projects would likely not be failing to meet the criteria, or would fix any issues if they were told about them). “malicious” projects simply would not pay (and even if they stopped using the certification, would probably already have benefitted). To achieve the goals of the certification project, greater understanding and engagement of open hardware, such malicious projects need to be firmly discouraged.\nA legal basis for imposing a penalty could be something like having the certification logo and name trademarked, at which point OSHWA could use trademark law as the basis of a legal complaint against a project using the logo/name inappropriately.\nSuch a legal basis would also be necessary were OSHWA to wish to be able to demand that a product cease using the logo.\nA “list of shame” could be effective if OSHWA was sufficiently well known that consumers would avoid companies that OSHWA disrecommended, and of course that consumers, or review sites or media drew attention to a company or project being on the list of shame. Such a list would need some curation as projects were added and removed etc. Of course, some projects would find being on such a list, and discussed in the usual open/FOSS/etc forums would be a bad thing and they would avoid this; but larger projects seeking to profit off the ‘open hardware’ concept in more mainstream markets would likely not (and the sales they would lose would probably be very small).\nIf a project which has been self certified fails to meet the standard, to maintain the integrity of the OSHWA brand the certification and all marks must be removed from the project and its documentation.\nShould a project change in a way that invalidates an independent review and certification, again, to maintain the integrity of the OSHWA brand the certification and all marks must be removed from the project and its documentation.\nIt can get ugly if someone refuses, which means that lawyers and legal fees will factor into these certification fees. Not where we really want to be, but it may be a necessary evil.\nPublication of a list of shame, with a page per project would do. If we adopt a simple self-certification process, we can also clearly state on this page what the company would need to do to be compliant again, upon which we would remove them, from the list of shame, and add them to a list of good guys.\nI’m having a hard time imagining how a penalty would even work.\nI could see how publication of the best open source projects would work. I can also see how publication of misunderstandings would work because those developers would self-correct. But I can’t imagine how a developer who’s not intrinsically motivated would ever respond to a “penalty” imposed by OSHWA.\nA better way could be to have a online forum, where people can challenge on credibility of “Openness” a open source hardware projects. Allow anonymity.\nThis will filter & bring up cases which may really be worth reviewing.\nIf a “certification abuse” process is clearly proposed by OSHWA and clearly included inside the sentence/logo certification shown by the opensource hardware, then it will be possible to organize a “certification abuse” process with steps and repository of list “certification abuse” projects.\nBut … that will cost to run … The question is linked with “financial resources of OSHWA”.\nExclusion of registering new items.\nFine in the form of an percentage of the profit of the item(s). If the profit can’t be determent, a percentage of total sells of the item(s).", "domain": "law"}

Headline provides access to these Third-Party Links only as a convenience to Customer and does not review, approve, monitor, endorse, warrant, or make any representations with respect to Third-Party Links. Customer uses all Third-Party Links at its own risk, and should apply a suitable level of caution and discretion in doing so. When Customer uses any of the Third-Party Links, the applicable third party’s terms and policies apply, including the third party’s privacy and data gathering practices. Customer should make whatever investigation it feels necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any transaction in connection with such Third-Party Links.\n11.5 Arbitration. The parties agree to resolve all disputes arising under or in connection with the Agreement through binding arbitration. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party. The parties will use good faith efforts to resolve the dispute directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the notice is received, either party may commence an arbitration proceeding. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The arbitration will be conducted in English in [San Francisco, California, USA]. If the parties do not agree on an arbitrator, the arbitrator will be selected in accordance with the applicable rules of the AAA for the appointment of an arbitrator. The selection of an arbitrator under the rules of the AAA will be final and binding on the parties. The arbitrator must be independent of the parties. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding on both parties, and the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The costs and expenses of the arbitration will be shared equally by both parties; however, if the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the claim or the relief sought in arbitration is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 11.5 will not prohibit either party from:\n- bringing an individual action in small claims court;\n- seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction;\n- pursuing an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; or\n- filing suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement or misappropriation claim. If this Section 11.5 is found to be unenforceable, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 11.3 will govern any action arising out of or related to the Agreement.\n11.6 Miscellaneous. Headline and Customer are independent contractors. This Agreement does not create a partnership, franchise, joint venture, agency, fiduciary or employment relationship between Headline and Customer. In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between the terms of the Agreement and the terms of any order form, the terms of the order form shall control. The Agreement is the sole agreement of the parties concerning the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings with respect to said subject matter. Customer may not subcontract or delegate any rights or obligations granted to it under the Agreement to any third parties, including its consultants or contractors, without the prior written consent of Headline. Any ambiguity in the Agreement shall be interpreted without regard to which party drafted the Agreement or any part thereof. There are no third-party beneficiaries to the Agreement.

Headline may use subcontractors or otherwise delegate aspects of its performance under the Agreement; provided that Headline shall remain responsible hereunder for any such subcontractor’s performance. Waiver of any term of the Agreement or forbearance to enforce any term by either party shall not constitute a waiver as to any subsequent breach or failure of the same term or a waiver of any other term of the Agreement. Any provision found to be unlawful, unenforceable or void shall be severed from the remainder of the Agreement and the remainder of the Agreement will continue in full force and effect without said provision.

We took a combination of escalators and elevators all the way up to a courtroom on the 8th floor.\nWhen we arrived, the person in charge of technology for the entire building gave a presentation about the technology used in the building including assistive technology (which several students got to test), microphones, projectors, and document cameras.

She explained to us how her poor brother had been captured and caged by an evil witch and she feared for her life!\nAfter a brief deliberation, the jury found Gretel not guilty and she was free to go!\nThanks so much to our wonderful parent volunteers for all your help with this field trip and a HUGE thanks to Mr. Vingelli for all his hard work coordinating and setting everything up!", "domain": "law"}

The European Union defines it this way: “Personal data is any information that relates to an identified or identifiable living individual. Different pieces of information, which collected together can lead to the identification of a particular person, also constitute personal data.” Examples include obvious things like names, home addresses and email addresses—along with other data like IP addresses, cookies and more.\nFor any company doing business online, and especially those who capture leads through a website, social channels or any other means, GDPR had an impact. Any website visitors residing in the EU were now protected by the new law, and companies who aren’t in compliance were subject to significant penalties.\nThe impact for U.S.-based companies? Per Workplace Privacy Report:\nFor example, if your organization is a U.S. company with an internet presence, selling or marketing products over the web or even merely offering a marketing survey globally, you may be subject to the GDPR. That said, general global marketing does not usually apply. If you use Google AdWords and a French resident stumbles upon your webpage, the GDPR likely would not apply to the company solely on that basis. If, however, your website pursues EU residents—accepts the currency of an EU country, has a domain suffix for an EU country, offers shipping services to an EU country, provides translation in the language of an EU country or markets in the language of an EU country, the GDPR will apply to your company.\nSo, what about companies doing business purely in the U.S.? A regional window manufacturer or dealer—who might capture online leads from their territory but isn’t pursuing anything outside that geography—might think they have nothing to worry about, and they might be right. But just in case, pursuing compliance is probably good practice anyway.\nNow, though, we’re seeing greater data privacy laws take effect domestically. The , for instance, goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2020, and it is of similar scope to what happened in the EU last year. The new law grants many new privacy rights to California residents, “starting with the right to be informed about what kinds of personal data companies have collected and why it was collected,” according to the Harvard Business Review. “Among other novel protections, the law stipulates that consumers have the right to request the deletion of personal information, opt out of the sale of personal information, and access the personal information in a ‘readily useable format’ that enables its transfer to third parties without hindrance.”\nDigital marketing continues to transform how we do business, and privacy concerns and new laws like that going into effect in California are important parts of the picture. It’s something that any company doing business online—whether it’s to market products, capture leads or anything else—should be proactively working with their teams to prepare for.\nQuestions or comments?

Adults 21 and older could also possess the marijuana harvested from their plants at the location where they were grown. No landlord would have to allow cultivation or marijuana smoking on rented property, and the public smoking of marijuana would remain illegal.\nThe legislation directs the Comptroller to develop regulations and licensing for four types of state-legal marijuana businesses — retail stores, cultivation facilities, marijuana product manufacturers, and testing facilities. Localities would have the right to regulate time, place, and manner, as well as provide input on licensing, which would be granted substantial weight. No more than one retailer for every 20,000 residents would be allowed, except that every county would have at least two retailers. Local governments could further restrict the number of marijuana businesses, as long as they were not completely prohibited.\nThe Comptroller would be required to develop regulations restricting advertising, regulating the use of pesticides, and establishing security standards. Marijuana businesses would have to be at least 1,000 feet away from schools and typically could not allow anyone under 21 to enter.\nThe Marijuana Control Act of 2014 would impose an excise tax of $50 per ounce on the sale of marijuana by a cultivation facility, which would generate an estimated $91.3 million per year. The tax rate may be adjusted for inflation or deflation, based on the Consumer Price Index. The first $5 million of revenue raised annually would be directed towards drug addiction treatment and education.", "domain": "law"}

We will provide more details when the time comes,” Lisa said. The judge initially stated that there was insufficient evidence for a trial, but Aleksander refused to settle. As a result, he will have to appear in court in May and present his defense.\nHis lawyers have called the procedure and everything that happened during the first trial “scandalous”, and claim that “valid evidence was not presented.” The trial will take place in May, although the exact date is still awaited.

The important points to note are that first, this law protects; literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic work, typographical arrangements of published editions, sound recordings and film. (An extension to this law also covered computer programs).\nSecond, copyright is an automatic right, therefore it arises every time either an individual or a company produces a piece of work that is original and demonstrates a notable level of work, skill or judgement – for this reason copyright applies to the actual creation rather than the idea behind it and shorter elements like titles and short phrases are not copyright protected. However, pieces that combine these smaller elements, like a logo, are copyright protected!\nCopyright Law Restricted Acts:\n“Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1998″ url=”http://www.copyrightservice.co.uk/copyright/p01_uk_copyright_law”]“It is an offense to perform any of the following acts without consent of the owner: Copy the work, Rent, lend or issue copies of the work to the public, Perform, broadcast or show the work in public, Adapt the work. The author of a work or a director of a film may also have certain moral rights: The right to be identified as the author, Right to object to derogatory treatment”\nSo there you have it in a nutshell, UK copyright laws. You have been warned and informed.\nFor information on U.S. copyright laws relating specifically to the use of logos online try this source.\nSo how do you approach getting permission to use another company’s logo on your website?\nWell good old fashioned courtesy goes a long way. You need to email the appropriate contact at the company who owns the logo you want to use, taking the time to outline how you will use that logo if permission is granted e.g. on what page of your website and for what reason and ask for their consent to use it. This person should have the authority to grant you that consent there and then, or be able to forward your request on to the people who can. The benefit of emailing your request rather than telephoning is that it allows you to keep a paper trail of your request and hopefully your permissions, if granted.\nIf approval of your request is granted, again to maintain that paper trail, ask for a copy to be sent to you and for it to be signed, then once you have that company’s logo legally in place on your website, send a screenshot of it in use back to the owners to demonstrate how it is being used and to prevent and protect you from conflicts over use in the future.\nEssentially, going through the permissions process and indeed using that company’s logo on your website, all serves to build a business relationship between you. So, being polite, professional and thorough can only serve to strengthen that relationship and establish respect and good faith.\nOne Last Word of Warning\nThe consequences of failing to ask permission of use before publicly displaying a logo you do not have copyright for will certainly lead to some form of legal action, and possibly result in fines and damages. Here are 5 famous copyright infringement cases to learn from.\nSo take the time to send that email!\nUPDATE 22/11/2014: In evidence that flouting or breaking copyright law can be an expensive mistake check out this article from The Drum covering the ongoing (and expensive) legal battle over copyright violations between Samsung and Apple.", "domain": "law"}

The vast amount of personal information we share online, coupled with the growing threat of data breaches and cybercrime, emphasizes the need to understand the legal considerations surrounding digital privacy and data security. In this article, we will explore the importance of protecting your digital privacy, the legal frameworks in place, and best practices to safeguard your data in today’s digital landscape.\nThe Importance of Digital Privacy and Data Security\nDigital privacy and data security are essential for several reasons. First and foremost, they protect our personal information from unauthorized access, ensuring that sensitive data remains confidential. In an era where identity theft and online scams are prevalent, safeguarding personal information is crucial to prevent financial and reputational damage. Moreover, digital privacy and data security foster trust in online platforms, enabling individuals to share information and engage in digital transactions with confidence.\nLegal Framework for Digital Privacy and Data Security\nTo address the challenges posed by digital privacy and data security, several legal frameworks have been established at both national and international levels. One notable regulation is the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) implemented by the European Union (EU). The GDPR outlines strict guidelines regarding the collection, storage, and processing of personal data, giving individuals greater control over their information and imposing significant responsibilities on organizations handling such data. Similarly, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in the United States grants California residents certain rights over their personal information and mandates transparency from businesses regarding data collection practices.\nIn addition to data protection laws like the GDPR and CCPA, countries around the world have enacted privacy laws and regulations that safeguard individuals’ privacy rights. These laws dictate how personal information should be collected, used, and disclosed, empowering individuals with rights such as access to their data, the ability to request its deletion, and the option to opt-out of certain data processing activities. Furthermore, cybersecurity laws aim to protect against cyber threats and unauthorized access to data. They require organizations to implement robust security measures, report data breaches promptly, and safeguard sensitive information from external threats.\nBest Practices for Protecting Digital Privacy and Data Security\nWhile legal frameworks provide a foundation for digital privacy and data security, individuals must also take proactive measures to protect their data. Here are some best practices to consider:\nUse Strong and Unique Passwords: Implement strong, unique passwords for each online account and consider using a password manager to securely store them.\nEnable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)\nAdd an extra layer of security by enabling 2FA, which requires a second form of verification, such as a unique code sent to your mobile device.\nEncrypt Sensitive Data\nUtilize encryption tools or services to encrypt sensitive data, such as emails and files, ensuring that even if unauthorized access occurs, the information remains unreadable.\nKeep Software Updated\nRegularly update your operating system, applications, and security software to protect against known vulnerabilities and exploits.\nExercise Caution with Personal Information\nBe mindful of the personal information you share online, especially on public platforms. Limit the disclosure of sensitive data and verify the legitimacy of websites and services before providing any personal details.\nSecure Your Wi-Fi\nUse strong, password-protected Wi-Fi networks to prevent unauthorized access to your internet connection and the data transmitted over it.\nRegularly Backup Your Data\nBackup important data regularly to a secure location to mitigate the risks associated with data loss, hardware failure, or ransomware attacks.\nUnderstand Privacy Policies\nFamiliarize yourself with the privacy policies of websites and online services you use. Ensure they align with your expectations and understand how your personal information is collected, used, and shared.\nChallenges and Emerging Trends\nAs technology continues to advance, new challenges and emerging trends impact digital privacy and data security. The Internet of Things (IoT), comprising interconnected devices that collect and transmit data, introduces additional vulnerabilities. Securing IoT devices and protecting the data they generate pose unique challenges that require attention.\nFurthermore, the increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) and big data analytics raises concerns about the potential misuse of personal information. Ethical considerations and transparent data processing practices are necessary to maintain trust in AI systems and protect individuals’ privacy.\nIn conclusion, digital privacy and data security are crucial in today’s digital age. Understanding the legal considerations, following best practices, and staying informed about emerging trends will empower individuals and organizations to protect their digital privacy and ensure data security. By adopting a proactive and responsible approach, we can navigate the digital landscape with confidence, safeguarding our personal information and preserving trust in the digital realm.", "domain": "law"}

If you own gold and are considering selling it, you might wonder whether you need to report the transaction to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The answer depends on various factors, including the amount of gold you’re selling and the purpose of the transaction.\nIn this article, we’ll delve into the intricacies of IRS regulations surrounding the sale of gold and provide comprehensive information to help you navigate this process.\nUnderstanding IRS Reporting Requirements: The IRS requires taxpayers to report their income from various sources, including the sale of precious metals like gold. However, not all transactions are subject to reporting requirements. The key factors that determine whether you need to report the sale of gold to the IRS include:\n- Type of Transaction: The IRS distinguishes between two types of transactions involving gold: ordinary transactions and collectibles transactions. Ordinary transactions involve the sale of gold for its market value, while collectibles transactions refer to the sale of gold coins, bullion, or other collectible items that are held for investment purposes. Collectibles transactions generally have different tax implications.\n- Amount of Gain: The threshold for reporting the sale of gold to the IRS is based on the amount of gain you realize from the sale. If the gain from a single transaction falls below a certain limit, you might not be required to report it. This limit, however, is subject to change, so it’s essential to consult the latest IRS guidelines for the most accurate information.\nReporting Requirements for Gold Sales: As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, here’s a general overview of reporting requirements for gold sales:\n- Ordinary Transactions: If you sell gold in an ordinary transaction (e.g., selling gold jewelry or bars at the current market price), the IRS might not require you to report the sale if the gain is less than $600. This threshold is for single transactions. Keep in mind that while you might not need to report such transactions, you are still responsible for reporting any capital gains on your tax return.\n- Collectibles Transactions: If you sell gold coins or bullion that are considered collectibles, the reporting threshold is much lower. You are generally required to report any gain from the sale of collectibles regardless of the amount. The gain is typically taxed at a higher rate than gains from ordinary transactions.\nExceptions and Additional Considerations: It’s important to note that tax laws and regulations can change over time, and the thresholds mentioned above might no longer be accurate at the time of your gold sale. Additionally, if you are subject to certain IRS requirements due to other factors (such as being a dealer in precious metals or engaging in large-volume transactions), you might have reporting obligations even for transactions that fall below the mentioned thresholds.\nConclusion: The question of how much gold you can sell without reporting to the IRS involves various factors, including the type of transaction, the amount of gain, and the current tax regulations. While there might be reporting thresholds for ordinary transactions, it’s crucial to stay informed about the latest IRS guidelines and consult with a tax professional to ensure compliance with all reporting requirements. Selling gold can have tax implications, so taking a proactive and informed approach is key to avoiding potential issues with the IRS.", "domain": "law"}

Many people from all walks of life are trying to gain admittance into law programs around the world, and for reasons that we will soon uncover some of these programs have become extremely selective. Here to help you out with that are five helpful law school admission tips.\n1. Admission into Law School Comes Down to Two Scores\nBelieve it or not, admission to law school boils down to two scores: your GPA and the LSAT. Everything from that point on is a standard college application, but make no mistake, those two scores will ultimately decide your fate. These additional materials consist of specific essays and a (typically at least three) letters of recommendation. Take care to ensure that you put your best foot forward with your application, do not slack on the essay(s), and request letters from advisers, colleagues, and mentors who can vouch for you.\n2. Yep, The LSAT and Your GPA Really are that Important\nIt doesn’t matter if you received your bachelors in cyber security from Boston University, or a bachelor in Art History from UC Berkeley, your LSAT and GPA scores matter due to the fact that they directly affect the school’s overall ranking. As such, the admissions dean in charge of your application will want to ensure that the ranking stays close to what it is. The higher the ranking, the more favorably the school is perceived, the more people are enticed to apply to the school.\n3. More on the LSAT\nHere is something very important to keep in mind regarding the LSAT: experts on law school acceptance procedures advise applicants to not worrying about taking the test multiple times if their first score is already high enough. The school evaluating you will only consider your highest score. This is largely due to the fact that schools have altered their policies concerning multiple scores, making them less rigorous than they used to be.\n4. About that GPA\nAlong with a good LSAT score, you will want your GPA sitting somewhere around 3.5. Do be aware that if your GPA is close to or below 2.5, even alongside a decent LSAT score, your application will likely be rejected.\n5. Tailor Your Application to the People Processing It\nFrom the perspective of the people processing your application, an increased number of applicants results in a decreased acceptance rate, which is very good for the school as they will then be able to generate more money from application fees and, concurrently, accumulate funds in the form of donations from both alumni and various benefactors.", "domain": "law"}

The State party is under an obligation to avoid similar violations of the Covenant in the future.\"\nKorea Solidarity for Conscientious Objection (KSCO) informed War Resisters' International that a decision on a further 488 cases from South Korea is still pending.

The judge claims that clause 1 of article 88 of the Military Service Act - \"If a person who has received a draft notice for active duty or Notice of Summons (including Notice of Summons for voluntary enlistment), without justifiable cause, does not report for service within the period specified in the following clauses or refuses the summons, then he shall be sentenced to a prison term of three years or less.\" - conflicts with Article 19 of the South Korean constitution, which guarantees freedom of thought, conscience, and religion. “The clause in the military service act is unconstitutional by excessively violating freedom of conscience by forcing conscientious objectors to do their military duty and then punishing them,” the judge said.\n“Legislators are responsible for creating alternatives to resolve the conflict,” Judge Park said, arguing that punishing conscientious objectors without providing any alternative forms of national service violates the principle that infringements upon basic rights must be minimised.\nThe country's Constitutional Court last dealt with the question of conscientious objection in 2001.\nWhile the Court ruled back then that clause 1 of article 88 of the Military Service Act is constitutional, it also made some recommendations to the legislator: \"The legislator has the duty to relieve the conflict in conscience by providing, to the extent that freedom of conscience specified in Article 19 of the Constitution does not damage public interests or legal order, alternative plans such as other possible options that can take the place of the legal duty or case-by-case exemptions from the legal duty, and if he can not provide such options, then he should at least consider if mitigation or exemption in punishments and penalties imposed for violating the duty can be permitted in order to protect the freedom of conscience.\nTherefore, the legislator should earnestly consider whether there is a plan that can relieve the conflict between freedom of conscience and the public interest of national security and make the two interests coexist in harmony, whether there is an alternative plan that can protect the conscience of objectors to military service while preserving the public interest of national security, and whether our society has matured to the point where it can now show understanding and tolerance toward conscientious objectors, and even if the legislator decides, upon further review, to not adopt a system of alternative service, it should be considered whether the legislature would move in a direction to help protect conscience by having organizations that apply the law act in a manner that is legally more friendly to conscience.\"\nSince then, the Human Rights Committee of the United Nations has decided on two individual complaints from South Korea. In its decision on Yeo-Bum Yoon and Mr. Myung-Jin Choi vs. Republik of Korea, the Human Rights Committee came to the conclusion that not to provide for conscientious objection is a violation of the right to freedom of thought, conscience, and religion.\nSince then, the former South Korean government had originally announced in September 2007 to introduce the right to conscientious objection. However, the present government backtracked on this promise, citing opinion polls as an excuse.\nPresently, almost 500 individual complaints of conscientious objectors are pending at the Human Rights Committee. These, plus the new petition to the Constitutional Court, might increase pressure on the South Korean government to finally comply with its obligations under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and to recognise the right to conscientious objection.\nSources: JoongAng Daily: Draft dodger reignites row over military duty, 10 September 2009; War Resisters' International: Country report and updates: Korea, South, 23 March 2009; War Resisters' International: South Korea: Constitutional Court decides against right to conscientious objection, CO-Update No 1, September 2004; Constitutional Court of Korea: Decision of the Constitutional Court of Korea on Conscientious Objection, 26 August 2004; War Resisters' International: Landmark decision of UN Human Rights Committee on right to conscientious objection, CO-Update No 27, February 2007; Human Rights Committee: Communications Nos. 1321/2004 and 1322/2004 : Republic of Korea. 23/01/2007.

It is an unavoidably acute question. The world we live in, at the global level, is constantly at war. Not surprisingly, as of the beginning of January 2009, we can see the war currently continuing in Gaza. The 20th century is remembered as an age of wars and presumably so will be the 21st. The US government started the 'war on terror' against Iraq after the 11 September attacks. The Iraq war was nothing but another dreadful war. Not only were the nation state of Iraq and the terrorists deemed to be enemies of the US, but the US clearly declared this was a war against evil. Clarifying who is evil requires great care. Nonetheless, we have observed that any person or group, especially anti-war groups and Muslims, can be regarded as 'evil'. The fact that the concept of 'evil' is too abstract to be defined may lead to a situation where, at one time or another, citizens of a country as well as people outside it are considered to be enemies. An enemy can now exist anywhere regardless of the borders among nation states. When we ourselves at any time can be labelled as an enemy, it can possibly be said that at that moment we live in the age of wars.\nThe South Korean government have been taking part in the war in Iraq. In 2003, it decided to send troops there despite the lack of proof that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. Despite the daily demonstration against this decision, and the kidnapping and beheading by Iraqi militants of a South Korean, Kim Sun-il, the government didn't cancel the deployment plan. Instead, it introduced an Anti-Terrorism Act, based on their view that the people are potential terrorists. This was exactly the same as what happened in the US.\nI was among the crowd protesting against the war in Iraq and the deployment of Korean troops. Despite our efforts, South Korean troops were sent. In the end, it was revealed that Iraq didn't have any weapons of mass destruction, which meant the US government was wrong. Notwithstanding, the South Korean government and the people who supported the government's decision neither apologised for their lie nor took any responsibility for the result - an absolutely intolerable reaction.\nI believe the armed forces are simply just one of national institutions whose reason for existence is to prepare for wars. The armed forces always prepare for a war, even when there is no war. Hence, the military is by no means 'an organisation which prevents a war'. In fact, it is an organisation that makes war. I do not find any reason for which I ought to do my military service in this kind of armed force. Refusing to be called up follows ineluctably from my determination to liberate myself instead of living imprisoned as a human being living in a so-called 'the age of war'.\nA War is Incompatible with Democracy\nWar cannot be compatible with democracy. Rather, war is a retreat from democracy. Article 5 of the South Korean constitution states that 'the Republic of Korea endeavours to maintain international peace and renounces all aggressive wars'. Accordingly, the South Korean government's has breached the constitution in sending troops to Vietnam and Iraq, wars that we avoidable and aggressive, not in self-defence. The US government presented the war on Iraq as 'preventive war'. If this invasion was not an aggressive war, which war can be considered aggressive? The South Korean government have definitely been infringing democracy by breaking the constitution. Not only will respect for the constitution be restored, but also there will be no democracy until the government stop doing such iniquitous things. I have decided, in a desperate resort to defend our democracy, not to do military service on behalf of the government which neither apologise for the result caused by their participation of the aggressive wars nor take any responsibility for that.\nDemocracy is constituent power\nDemocracy in Korea was again set back in July and August 2004. The Korean Supreme Court, on 15 July 2004, found conscientious objectors guilty, while the South Korean Constitutional Court, on 26 August 2004, rejected a constitutional challenge to article 88 of the Military Service Act. I am against these nationalistic decisions which state that the 'duty of national defence' is more important than 'individual's freedom of conscience'. As long as such decisions continue to be made, the right to freedom will remain infringed by nationalistic reasoning. Underlying a written constitution is the practice of the people. Article 1, Section 2 of the South Korean constitution states that 'the sovereignty of the Republic of Korea resides in the people, and all state authority emanates from the people'. This means the source of power to establish a constitution, constituent power, originates from the people. A constitutional code is temporary: it can be amended by constituent power whenever needed. A duty of national defence and a nation itself cannot exist unless a member of a nation exists. Therefore, it is the people's will, not nation's one, which should be respected. This is what I think democracy is.\nThis is the reason for my objection to military service. I feel guilt towards my parents. This pain may be the same as what other conscientious objectors, their family, lovers, friends and their supporters have gone through up until now. I would really like to apologise to my parents for my decision to object military service while I also would like to console other conscientious objectors. I hope the step we take today will lead to another pleasurable step on our way to democracy.\nOn Tuesday, January 6, 2009,\nMay 15th 2009 International Conscientious Objector's Day\nWar Resisters International has an annual conference. This year's conferencen will take place in Seoul and focus on the situation of Conscientious Objection in South Korea.\nNon-violence training: May 10-14th at Ilsan Han River Methodist Church\nParticipation fee: 40,000 won (10,000 won for one event)\nDirect Action: May 15th Somewhere in downtown Seoul\nMembers of the non-violence training workshops will decide on the direct action together.\nInternational Conference: May 15th 1pm Conscientious Objectors and Peace Activists from Greece, Macedonia, USA, Eritrea, Israel will share their experiences and particular circumstances.\nPeace Concert: May 16th 7pm\nA Variety of Cultural Events including a Fashion show, Performance, Story Garden, Video, etc...\nTo register for the event, send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.org\nFor more detailed information see our website at http://www.corights.net/2009coday\nWednesday, March 18, 2009\nAll South Korean male citizens are conscripted to perform military service for 2 years. While most people reluctantly succumb to the extreme state and social pressure to serve, a small but increasingly vocal number of individuals are choosing go to prison instead of joining the military. For adhering to their principles, they are punished with a prison sentence of a year and a half, a permanent criminal record, and social stigma. There is currently no alternative option given to those who object to serving in the military.\nThere are 450 objectors now in prison. Their reasons for objection are varied. While the majority of them have religious reasons (mostly Jehovah's witnesses) others have political or moral beliefs and are active in the peace movement that has been growing during the last several years in Korea.\nEun-gook (Eun-guk/은국), a traditional Korean medicine doctor, is one peace activist who declared his objection last February. His declaration was made during a press conference in Seoul on the day he was supposed to enlist.\nIn March 2003, Eun-guk was involved in one of the anti-war peace activist groups in Iraq where the United States proclaimed war and the Korean government decided to dispatch Korean soldiers. Since then, Eun-gook kept thinking about objecting to his conscription for the last 6 years.", "domain": "law"}

Samuel’s side had mentioned not receiving a proper payment statement from Brave Entertainment and being forced to participate in the CEO’s personal events as some of the reasons to invalidate his contract.\nOn September 21, Star News revealed an interview with a source close to Samuel who did not reveal their identity. The interviewee started off by saying, “I felt that something was off when the company took him to the Philippines and Japan.”\n“When Kim Samuel asked them to show him the statement of accounts for his activities since his debut in January 2015 regardless of whether there had been a profit or a loss, they refused to show it to him. When he started off his solo debut promotions after ‘Produce 101,’ it didn’t seem like it would work out. So we weren’t able to see the statement of accounts for three to four years, and when we finally received it in May 2018, it wasn’t an official statement of accounts, but an unprofessional printout that couldn’t be verified. But when we looked at it closely, there was an item that indicated a loss of 600 million won (approximately $506,800) from his promotions as 1PUNCH.”\nBringing up Samuel’s past activities as part of the duo 1PUNCH with rapper ONE, the source shared, “They never showed Kim Samuel his contract when he promoted with ONE. After their debut, ONE appeared on ‘Show Me the Money’ and immediately left for YG Entertainment, and there was no compensation for damages to the team. It turned out that the contract had no clause about liability for damages. The contract was like a sham, and ONE’s agency at the time is playing dumb about it.”\nAccording to the source, when Brave Entertainment’s lawyer stated at their recent hearing that Samuel had not made any profit through his activities, they were taking into account the loss from his promotions as 1PUNCH.\nThe interviewee then mentioned the events Samuel attended overseas, namely in Japan and China. Regarding the event in Japan, the source explained, “[Brave Entertainment] hastily got him to sign the contract for the event in Japan as if it were a simple document of consent for overseas travel. It was revealed during the lawsuit that [the company] had received 800 million won (approximately $675,680) on the condition of an exclusive contract with Kim Samuel, that they did not give him the final version of the contract when the contract indicated that they had to, and that the advance payment of 500 million won (approximately $422,300) was omitted from the statement of accounts without his knowledge.”\nIn regards to the event in China, the source said, “It was an exclusive contract between a certain company and Kim Samuel, but [Brave Entertainment] stated that they could not show him the contract because it was a contract between the two companies that was unrelated to Kim Samuel. Even during the trial, they did not reveal the contract, so [Samuel’s side] said they tried to see the contract by filing a criminal complaint.”\nPreviously, Samuel sued Brave Entertainment’s CEO Brave Brothers for forgery and fraudulent use of private documents, but the charges were dropped by the police. The interviewee shared more details about the blockchain-related event linked to this lawsuit. “The company used Kim Samuel, a minor, for the CEO’s blockchain business by deceiving and lying to him. The event that Brave Entertainment is referring to is the following: Kim Samuel was used as a decoy at the venue of the BRST coin expo, and at 10 p.m., he was made to sing one song on a small and shabby stage inside a hotel’s conference room that was unrelated to the event. When we protested that they show us the contract because a contract must certainly exist, they reluctantly showed us a contract revealing that there were two more blockchain-related events he had to attend.”\nThe source emphasized that the primary goal of Samuel’s lawsuit was to terminate his contract with Brave Entertainment, adding, “The money-related issues come second. His contract with Brave Entertainment expires next January, and the lawsuit has been prolonged.”\nAs a final message, the interviewee commented, “Many kids these days who want to become idols since elementary school sign with an agency and invest their lives and time into their agency with trust in them. When I think about the many teenagers who may be treated unfairly like Kim Samuel, it breaks my heart.”\nRegarding the matter, a source from Brave Entertainment stated to Star News, “We are working hard to smoothly resolve the conflict with Samuel.”\nHow does this article make you feel?", "domain": "law"}

As in 2014 with the passage of Marco Civil and the NETmundial Meeting, Brazil is again in the focus of this year’s developments as the tenth meeting of the UN Internet Governance Forum (IGF) will convene in João Pessoa in November. Titled “Evolution of Internet Governance: Empowering Sustainable Development,” in anticipation of this year’s IGF, human rights advocates have already begun to ask whether Brazil’s approach to internet governance might serve as a model for the rest of the world.\nBrazil 2014: Marco Civil and NETmundial\nIn April 2014, a Global Multistakeholder Meeting on the Future of Internet Governance, also known as NETmundial, was hosted by the Brazilian government in São Paulo. NETmundial brought together over nine hundred attendees from governments, international organizations, the private sector, and civil society and resulted in the adoption of a (non-binding) Internet Governance Roadmap. Following the meeting, a number of pieces reviewed and commented on NETmundial’s outcome and final documents. The Center for Global Communication’s Internet Policy Observatory, for example, published Beyond NETmundial: The Roadmap for Institutional Improvements to the Global Internet Governance Ecosystem to explore how sections of “NETmundial Multistakeholder Statement” could be implemented. The meeting also played host to a series diverging narratives not only between governments, States, and civil society, but also among various civil society actors.\nSymbolically, on the first day of NETmundial, President Rousseff signed into law the Marco Civil da Internet – a law which many see as a benchmark for a modern, freedom-oriented approach to internet regulation. The Marco Civil was developed through a consultation process which included the participation of civil society, and discussions and debates over online platforms. The legislation provides general safeguards for the rights to freedom of expression and privacy, as well as a guarantee of net neutrality. One much applauded provision of the law is that service providers do not hold liability for content. Providers have no responsibility for users’ actions, and there are only sanctions against providers if they do not fulfill court orders to remove content. The law also contains an obligation to adopt a multistakeholder model of internet governance at all levels.\nThe NETmundial meeting was criticized by some states, including Saudi-Arabia, for its lack of transparency and for not being held under the auspices of the United Nations. According to this position, meetings should be held in the Economic and Social Council or other United Nations bodies (which could be read as a support for ITU activities in internet governance).\nUN Special Rapporteur on “The Right to Privacy in the Digital Age”\nFollowing NETmundial, Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff and German chancellor Angela Merkel co-sponsored a resolution on the right to privacy in the digital age. This resolution passed the UN General Assembly’s human rights committee by consensus in November 2014. The draft builds on Resolution 68/167, the predecessor text also co-sponsored by Brazil and Germany and submitted to the General Assembly in December 2013. While the 2013 resolution was supported by fifty-five countries, the recent resolution was co-sponsored by sixty-five countries.\nThe new resolution calls upon Member States to review their procedures, practices, and legislation on the surveillance of communications (including the interception and collection of personal data) with the goal of upholding the right to privacy and all relevant obligations under international human rights law.\nThe new resolution explicitly mentions metadata in the context of digital surveillance and reaffirms the responsibility of private parties to respect human rights when dealing with personal data. The law concludes that States are also obligated to respect human rights when they use private companies for surveillance purposes. Although they are non-binding, such resolutions could carry significant moral and political weight if they are supported by enough states.\nIn March 2015, during its 28th Session, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights presented a summary of the Human Rights Council panel discussion on the right to privacy in the digital age (A/HRC/28/39) and the Human Rights Council adopted HRC 28/16, the establishment of a new UN Special Rapporteur on “The Right to Privacy in the Digital Age.” This development is a direct follow-up to the UN General Assembly Resolution 69/166 from December 2014, led by Germany and Brazil, which asked the Council to consider the creation of such a mandate.\nIn July 2015, at its 29th session, the UNHRC appointed Joseph Cannataci as the first UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Privacy. Cannataci is chair of European Information Policy and Technology Law at the University of Groningen in The Netherlands and Head of the Department of Information Policy & Governance at the Faculty of Media & Knowledge Sciences of the University of Malta.\nThe 10th Annual IGF Meeting entitled “Evolution of Internet Governance: Empowering Sustainable Development” will take place in João Pessoa, Brazil from November 10-13, 2015. The overarching IGF theme will be supported by eight sub-themes: Cybersecurity and Trust; Internet Economy; Inclusiveness and Diversity; Openness; Enhancing Multistakeholder Cooperation; Internet and Human Rights; Critical Internet Resources; and Emerging Issues. The current and continuously updated schedule can be accessed from the IGF website.\nAs it approaches its tenth year, the IGF seems to have lost some of its momentum. Host countries for the annual meetings are increasingly difficult to find, and some host countries are known for restrictive approaches to media freedom. Several civil society organizations decided to boycott the 2014 meeting because of these implicit contradictions. At the same time, there are various parallel initiatives that can be seen as competition for the IGF, inter alia the 2012 ITU WCIT, the 2014 NETmundial, or the 2011 Internet Freedom Coalition.\nThe IGF mandate was initially only five years, but was renewed for another five years in 2010. The 2015 Annual Meeting in Brazil could be the last of a series. What does the future hold for the IGF? Participants at the 2014 Istanbul meeting petitioned to ask the UN General Assembly to prolong the IGF’s mandate for an indefinite term. A decision, however, will only be made during a two-day high-level meeting of the General Assembly in December 2015 after the Brazil IGF in November. In its July 2014 resolution (A/RES/68/302), the 68th UN General Assembly laid out the procedures of the review process, to which representatives of all relevant stakeholders of the World Summit on the Information Society will be invited. The resolution requested the President of the General Assembly to, in June 2015, appoint facilitators to lead an intergovernmental negotiation process in order to create an intergovernmental outcome document for adoption at the high-level meeting of the General Assembly.\nThe IGF is also backed, among others, by a number of European institutions and organizations. In a joint motion from February 2015, the European Parliament, among other groups, called on the UN General Assembly to renew the mandate of the IGF and strengthen its resources. It also called for the strengthening of the multistakeholder model of internet governance, although the IGF will not adopt formal conclusions.\nThe European Commission, in February 2014, described a ‘principles based approach’ to the ‘cooperative governance framework,’ including stakeholder engagement to strengthen the IGF as a sustainable model. The Council of Europe Committee of Ministers supports and calls for the UN General Assembly to extend the mandate of the IGF for ten years until 2025. The Committee of Ministers also calls on the multistakeholder community to actively engage in the preparation of the IGF and to provide financial contributions to ensure its long-term financial stability.\nICANN supports the IGF\nICANN’s President and CEO Fadi Chehadé views NETmundial as an extracurricular activity unrelated to ICANN’s core pursuits. During ICANN’s Board Meeting in Singapore, Chehadé said:\nThere is a sense sometimes that the NETmundial platform replaces the Internet Governance Forum or competes with it. Let me be superbly clear that these are completely complementary activities. They have absolutely no overlap. The IGF is a forum for meetings and for people to get together. NETmundial will not do any more meetings like Sao Paulo. It is not a meeting forum. It is a place, a place where people will come after having discussed things, I hope, at the IGF, and maybe agree to coalesce and start building policy models, solutions, other things that people can voluntarily consume. NETmundial is not a binding body in any way. It is simply a platform, a place to work. We support the IGF. ICANN supports the IGF.\nThis comes at a time when the stewardship of some ICANN functions, i.e., the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), will be transitioned from the U.S. government to the global multistakeholder community. While IANA functions will continue to be administered by ICANN, oversight will be shifted away from the U.S. Department of Commerce. In spite of an initial September 30, 2015 deadline, the transition is not yet complete. The U.S. National Telecommunications & Information Administration (NTIA) recently announced that IANA’s contract with ICANN was extended for one year to September 2016 and that beyond 2016, there is an option to extend the contract for up to three additional years if necessary.\nInternet Governance 2015 and Beyond\nOverall, the remainder of 2015 promises to be an important and decisive year for the future of the global approach to internet governance. Once more, Brazil will be at the center of events with the IGF in November 2015. After this meeting, the UN General Assembly Meeting in December will decide about the future of the IGF – with the odds in favor of the mandate’s further expansion.\nNote: This article has first been published by the CGCS Mediawire of the Center for Global Communication Studies at the Annenberg School of Communication of the University of Pennsylvania: www.global.asc.upenn.edu/internet-governance-2015-brazil-and-beyond/", "domain": "law"}

Detroit Board of Education 431 U.S. 209 (1977)).\nIn other words, teachers can only be required to pay for their union’s representational activity, not its political and ideological expenses.\nTo become an agency fee payer, complete the form below and mail it to the address provided.\nAs a result of these decisions, any teacher has a constitutional right to become an “agency fee payer” by resigning formal union membership and paying a reduced workplace representation fee, which is less than full union membership dues.\nAn annual calculation by the OEA determines what portion of its budget is spent on legitimate workplace activity, like negotiating a contract and processing grievances, and what portion is “nonchargeable,” or refundable to agency fee payers. The Supreme Court has required unions to provide this calculation to agency fee payers and explain the purposes for any fees it collects from them (Chicago Teachers Union v. Hudson, 475 U.S. 292, (1986)).\nThe OEA’s most recent calculation of how much of your dues it spends on legitimate workplace representation and how much it spends on extraneous “nonchargeable” purposes is available here.\nPages three and four reveal:\n- 58.55 percent of your total NEA dues are refundable; and\n- 28.55 percent of your total OEA dues are refundable.\nIn addition, some portion of your UniServ and local dues are also spent on activities unrelated to workplace representation and are refundable.\nThe total refund of overcharges from all levels of the union can range from $250 to $350.\nIf you object to the OEA’s overcharges and would rather make your own decisions about how your money is spent, then you may become an agency fee payer by requesting to pay the reduced workplace representation fee.\nThe union will still represent you in collective bargaining, contract management and grievance processing, but you will no longer have to contribute to causes unrelated to workplace representation.", "domain": "law"}

To schedule a confidential consultation, contact the Law Offices of Christopher Zander & Associates today.\nFIGHTING A CHARGE OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE\nThere are always two sides to any story. Unfortunately, because of political issues that sometimes impact how officials and legislators choose to react to a problem, men and occasionally women, are often treated as if they are presumed guilty in domestic violence cases. That is why our attorneys investigate what happened by talking to eyewitnesses, checking emergency room records, and requesting medical records to see if the alleged victim has a history of psychological problems or drug and alcohol abuse. We also provide a context for what happened, especially in cases where our client acted in self-defense or was also assaulted and battered.\nHOW RESTRAINING ORDERS CAN COMPLICATE YOUR LIFE\nMany domestic violence victims take out a restraining order against their alleged attacker. If a restraining order is issued against you, attending the hearing to determine if it should be extended and for how long is crucial. At the hearing, you can provide evidence, your own testimony, and witness testimony to prove your case. If a restraining order is issued, you will have to turn in any guns you own, you may have to vacate your house or apartment if you share it with the alleged victim, and additionally may be ordered to avoid all contact with the alleged victim. Furthermore, you may be denied visitation or custody rights of your children.\nIn many cases, our attorneys can help you fight restraining orders that are intended to punish or complicate the life of an ex-mate or ex-spouse. We have the resources needed to investigate questionable allegations and expose groundless accusations.\nEXPERIENCE BREEDS RESULTS\nThe Law Offices of Christopher Zander & Associates have rightfully earned the reputation of being the toughest, most knowledgeable, and aggressive domestic violence defense attorneys in all of Southern California.

It brings damage to an individual’s body, car, and mind. Thus, it takes them significant time and effort to recover from the incident.\nIn such scenarios, it becomes arduous for them to deal with the person responsible for the accident. However, personal injury attorneys Miami FL are here to save the day as these incidents fall under their expertise. The lawyers have in-depth knowledge and understanding of the legal aspects of accidents and their aftermaths. Thus, they can take on the cases and protect their client’s rights. In other words, they can aid in winning the proceedings and getting compensation for all the damages received.\nLet us discuss how a car accident lawyer or a personal injury attorney Miami can protect their client’s legal rights.\nOnce a car accident attorney takes on a particular case, they begin by investigating the details of the car crash or collision. It implies that they gather various types and kinds of evidence. It can consist of witness testimonies, accident reports, medical documents of the victim, and photographs proving the damages to the car. The lawyers may even speak to the police officers who had remained on the site if required.\nThe injury lawyers Miami do so to prove that the accident resulted from the negligent or intentional actions of the other party. In other words, they try to establish that the clients are faultless. Instead, they were the victims. Generally, car accident attorneys prove so using video footage, eyewitness statements, and various documents showing the adverse effects of the car crash.\nSuch an approach helps prevent or eliminate scenarios where the victims need to pay or compensate for the received damages. Otherwise, the verdict can infringe on their rights. Thus, the lawyers try to create situations where the perpetrators must compensate for the accident and injuries of the victim.\nHence, car accident attorneys help their clients get an appropriate and fair settlement for their suffering, lost wages, and medical bills. They also do so for a car’s diminished value, Florida after the accident.\nInsurance Company Talks\nAll car accidents remain linked with insurance companies. Thus, the victims need to talk to them and get the appropriate claims for the damages to their cars. However, the process is exceedingly complex. In addition, the lack of knowledge possessed by ordinary people can get them tricked in some cases.\nIn such instances, a car accident attorney Miami can represent their client and correspond with the insurance companies. It reduces all chances and possibilities of less or unfair insurance payments or other risk factors.\nConventionally, the two parties involved in a car accident aim to settle the case between themselves without the court’s interference. In such cases, the job and role of negotiating and determining the compensation amount generally lie with the car accident attorney.\nThe settlement may aid in compensating for medical bills, mental suffering, property damage, lost wages, and any future care needs. The lawyer engages in a detailed talk with the other party and discusses the terms and relevant details. They try to turn the session in their favor by presenting the collected evidence and the required areas of reimbursement.\nThus, car accident attorneys strive to prevent scenarios where the victims do not get the appropriate settlement amount they deserve. They negotiate the terms to ensure it. On top of that, these lawyers can protect their clients from debt collectors. The latter may come into the picture owing to the consequences of the car crash damages and injuries.", "domain": "law"}

An attractive transaction offering more short-term purchasing power and a lower debt ratio. It is a response to overindebtedness.\nHowever, this redemption represents a cost that must know how to evaluate, to determine if the operation is winning.\nWhat is a \"pool of credits\"?\nAs its name indicates, the grouping of credits consists in gathering several loans in one. Also referred to as \"Credit Redemption\", \"Credit Restructuring\" or \"Credit Refinancing\", this \" Credit Transaction is for the repayment of at least two previous receivables, including one outstanding credit\", as specified by Article R314-19 of the Consumer Code.\nIt follows that the credit consolidation can take the form of either a mortgage loan or a consumer credit.\nIndeed, it is possible to buy consumer loans (vehicle loan, work, etc.) or mortgages. But it is also possible to carry out a regrouping of credits of different nature. In this case, the new regulation (Lagarde law) provides that if the share of mortgage (s) real estate (s) does not exceed 60% of the new loan, the latter falls under the provisions of consumer credit. Beyond this percentage, it must apply those of real estate loans.\nWhat are the purposes of a credit consolidation?\nBefore the Lagarde law, the ads around the redemption of credits boasted a decrease in monthly payments up to 60%! Since then, it is forbidden to \"imply that the loan improves the borrower's financial situation or budget, leads to an increase in resources, constitutes a substitute for savings\" without indicating that this necessarily implies a financial counterpart.\nNot all loans can benefit from a credit consolidation. This is the case for regulated loans, Zero PTZ loans, 1% housing or student loans.\nThe main interest of the redemption of credits is to allow the decrease of the monthly payments and of fact, of the rate of indebtedness . Indeed, the capacity of the borrower could be crossed by an accumulation of credits or following an accident of life generating a loss of resources and difficulties to repay.\nSecondly, this operation offers borrowers more monthly purchasing power, a margin of maneuver intended to cover exceptional expenses, lay the foundations for a new project or benefit from so-called \"comfort\" cash.\nIn any case, the concept of the total cost of credit before and after the credit consolidation operation is crucial.\nWho to contact for the assembly of the file?\nBetter to be accompanied by a professional, to determine all the ins and outs of such an operation. The use of a broker specializing in repurchase credit is essential in that it will quickly appreciate the feasibility of a file with or without guarantee.", "domain": "law"}

In September 2004 the corporations submitted a joint merger report to the Government.\nIn April 2006 the Government and the MTRCL signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding on the structure and terms for the proposed rail merger.\nIn June 2007 the Legislative Council passed the Rail Merger Bill, and subsequently in July 2007 the by-laws and regulations applying to the merged rail network were also passed. In August 2007 the Corporation's Managing Board gave its approval to the signing of the rail merger transaction documents. In October 2007, MTRCL's independent shareholders approved the rail merger package at an Extraordinary General Meeting.\nOn 2 December 2007 the Rail Merger Ordinance came into effect. The Rail Merger Ordinance expressly empowered KCRC to grant a service concession to MTRCL and expanded the scope of MTRCL's franchise to enable it to take up the operation of KCRC's transport services.\nThe rail merger comprised two key components. The first was a Service Concession Agreement whereby MTRCL was granted the right for an initial period of 50 years (which is extendable) from 2 December 2007 to use KCRC's railway assets to operate the existing KCR railway lines and other transport-related businesses such as bus operations in the North-west Transit Service Area, and upon their completion, the new KCR railway lines then currently under construction. In return, the MTRCL was required to make a fixed annual payment of HK$750 million to KCRC, and after 36 months, an additional variable payment based on a percentage (which is on an increasing scale) of the annual gross revenue in excess of HK$2.5 billion generated from the KCRC railway assets.\nThe second key component was a Sale and Purchase Agreement, whereby on 2 December 2007 MTRCL purchased at a sum of HK$7.79 billion a number of KCRC properties and property management subsidiaries, and made a further payment of HK$4.25 billion for the Service Concession and the purchase of certain railway assets of KCRC such as stores and spares.\nFollowing the merger of the operations of the rail systems of KCRC and MTRCL, KCRC has become primarily an asset holding corporation under the direction of a Managing Board composed wholly of senior public officials appointed by the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. The Corporation is responsible for monitoring that the MTRCL complies with the terms of the Service Concession Agreement. Its other functions include investment of the reserve funds, servicing the Corporation’s outstanding debts, and managing its subsidiaries, including those involved in the development of the property sites along the West Rail Line on behalf of the Government.\nIn respect of these West Rail property sites, the KCRC Chief Officer is the Chairman of the managing board of West Rail Property Development Limited (WRPDL) (its shareholders being the Government and KCRC) which is responsible for implementation of the various developments on behalf of the Government, with MTRCL being the development agent for WRPDL. The first of these projects at Tuen Mun Station was completed in 2013. Currently, the site at Pat Heung Maintenance Depot is the only remaining site in study for development.\nSince the merger, the Corporation has been served by a very small number of staff, having decided to outsource many of its routine administrative and specialist support functions. The Managing Board is chaired by the Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury of the Government, and the management is headed by a Chief Officer.\nIn August 2018, the Government vested the land and interests or other rights in respect of the land for the operation of the Hong Kong Section of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link (XRL) and assigned the movable assets of the XRL Hong Kong Section to the Corporation. The Corporation, as the owner of the assets, granted the right to operate the XRL Hong Kong Section to MTRCL for a concession period of 10 years under a Supplemental Service Concession Agreement (SSCA).\nIn February 2020, the Government vested the land and interests or other rights in respect of the land for the operation of Tuen Ma Line Phase 1 (TML 1) (i.e. the extended section of the previously existing Ma On Shan Railway from Tai Wai to Kai Tak) and assigned the movable assets of the TML1 to the Corporation. The Corporation, as the owner of the assets, granted the right to operate the railway section under TML1 to MTRCL under a SSCA.\nIn June 2021, the Government vested the land and interests or other rights in respect of the land for the operation of Tuen Ma Line Phase 2 (TML 2) (i.e. the extended section of the the previously existing Ma On Shan Railway from Kai Tak to Hung Hom) and assigned the movable assets of the TML2 to the Corporation. By then, the previously existing West Rail Line and Ma On Shan Railway were integrated as the Tuen Ma Line. The Corporation, as the owner of the assets, granted the right to operate the railway sections under TML1 and TML2 to MTRCL under a SSCA, which superseded the previous one for TML1.\nIn May 2022, the Government vested the land and interests or other rights in respect of the land for the operation of the cross harbour section of the East Rail Line (EAL) (Hung Hom to Admiralty) and assigned the movable assets of the EAL cross harbour section to the Corporation. By then, the whole Shatin to Central Link (SCL) project was completed. The Corporation, as the owner of the assets, granted the right to operate the SCL including railway section under TML1 and TML2 and EAL cross harbour section to MTRCL under a SSCA, which superseded the previous one for TML1 and TML2.", "domain": "law"}

Statements and actions by Russia disclosed their intention to remove Ukraine’s government, to destroy Ukraine’s sovereignty and self-defense, and to destroy Ukraine’s culture and people.\nThe Russian Federation directed its armed forces to commit mass killing of civilians by targeted bombing of civilian areas, including hospitals, schools, and cultural institutions. Russia has directed the torture and the murder of captive civilians, and the systematic torture and rape of Ukrainian women and children. Tens of thousands of Ukrainian civilians have been intentionally killed. Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians have been forcibly relocated to Russia by Russia’s military. Millions of Ukrainians have become refugees, forced to flee their homes.\nA coalition of international criminal lawyers has concluded that Russia is committing genocide in Ukraine. The International Criminal Court and other competent courts are outlining charges for numerous war crimes, including genocide. By their nature, war crimes and genocide criminally implicate Russian State officials and Russian Orthodox Church officials who directed or promoted these crimes.\nThe Russian Orthodox Church is promoting war and is abetting war crimes in Ukraine.\nAfter a few days of guilty silence, the leadership of the Russian Orthodox Church began to justify and bless this war. The Patriarch of Moscow, Kirill (Gundyayev) has attempted in numerous public sermons to present Russia’s criminal invasion as morally justified and necessary. While the orthodox flock in Ukraine is decimated, Patriarch Kirill encourages and blesses the slaughter. Many of Kirill’s underlings have echoed him, presenting the aggressor as victim, and evil as good. The Moscow Patriarch openly aids and abets the atrocities in Ukraine.\nNumerous hierarchs and synods have condemned the Russian Federation’s aggression unambiguously. Yet they have said almost nothing about the Russian Orthodox Church providing the ideological platform and public blessing for this criminal undertaking. There has been very little clear public denunciation of this subversion of Christianity from the episcopate of the Orthodox Church. There has been none at all from any synodal body outside Ukraine.\nMoreover, a serious accusation of heresy by the Moscow Patriarch has been leveled by respected and responsible theologians who signed 'A Declaration on the “Russian World” (Russkii Mir) Teaching’. Those charges of heresy have not been addressed by the Primates of ancient Orthodox Churches competent to try and depose the accused heretics.\nHundreds of priests of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church signed a petition to the Primates of ancient Orthodox Churches to convene in synod and try Patriarch Kirill for blessing and promoting bloodshed, and for heresy. The Council of Bishops of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine has also appealed to the plenitude of the Orthodox Church to condemn Patriarch Kirill.\nTo the Primates of the ancient Orthodox Churches,\nYour All-Holiness Bartholomew, Archbishop of Constantinople and\nYour Beatitude Theodore, Pope and Patriarch of Alexandria and all Africa,\nYour Beatitude John, Patriarch of Antioch and all the East,\nYour Beatitude Theophilos, Patriarch of the Holy City of Jerusalem and of all Palestine and Israel,\nYour Beatitude Chrysostomos, Archbishop of Nova Justiniana and all Cyprus\nWe the undersigned are Orthodox Christians of all ranks, nations, and jurisdictions. We raise our voice on behalf of the victims of unprovoked Russian aggression against Ukraine. We cry out for the innocent child, for the weak, for the refugee, for the abducted, for the murdered, for the raped women and the raped children, for the brutally tortured. In sacred duty to Christ himself, we urgently appeal to you now, and We affirm that;\n1. The Patriarch of Moscow, Kirill (Gundyayev) has argued for, encouraged and blessed the murder of innocents. He is bloodguilty. He should be tried for murder.\n2. We add our voice to support those hundreds of Ukrainian priests, and we request that the Primates of the ancient Orthodox Churches hold a canonical trial, and depose Patriarch Kirill of Moscow.\n3. We request that the Primates of the ancient Orthodox Churches examine the charges of heresy brought by the authors and signators of the ‘Declaration on the “Russian World” (Russkii Mir) Teaching’.\nAny Orthodox Christian in communion with the Eastern Patriarchates may sign this petition on the form below. We especially request that Orthodox laity and clergy, both inside and outside Ukraine, sign the petition with their name and their title, if any. Let us reject complicity by silence! Let our actions be a clear statement of Christian conscience, honoring God above earthly rulers and worldly interests.\nby Gregory Adair and Luben Stoilov, parishioners of St. Nicholas Orthodox Church, San Anselmo, California.\nRussia states that its aims are genocide.\nThe Israeli Press called Russia’s stated war aims “fascistic”:\n ’An Independent Legal Analysis of the Russian Federation’s Breaches of the Genocide Convention in Ukraine and the Duty to Prevent’:\n The International Criminal Court (ICC) has been asked by numerous Rome Statute signature states, and by Ukraine, to exercise jurisdiction for war crimes in Ukraine. <https://www.icc-cpi.int/ukraine>, and; <https://www.icc-cpi.int/news/statement-icc-prosecutor-karim-aa-khan-qc-situation-ukraine-receipt-referrals-39-states>\nICC involvement in prosecuting Russian crimes in Ukraine is further described at:\n State propaganda agents acquire liability for war crimes. Dr. Steven Minas, a senior research fellow at the Transnational Law Institute of King’s College London writes,\n“The words of influential propagandists can have real impact. Recognizing this,\nthe International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights provides: 'Any propaganda for war shall be prohibited by law’.”\nThe analysis of Human Rights Without Frontiers recognizes the Russian Orthodox Church’s liability in promoting war crimes. <https://hrwf.eu/russia-patriarch-kirills-crucifixion-on-the-cross-will-he-be-the-gravedigger-of- the-orthodox-church/>\n An early example explaining the ‘metaphysical’ necessity of the war with the West’s insistence on forcing people into sin by allowing gay parades and with the population of Donbass suffering because of their principled rejection of such is found here: http://www.patriarchia.ru/db/text/5906442.html.

The appraisal costs varies depending upon the property; however, the average is about $1,500.The cost of the appraisal is not treated as part of the charitable contribution.

At the time that you would authorize us to continue with your easement, we ask for a contribution that will be used to cover the costs associated with this stewardship role. We will request of you a contribution of $500 or more as our costs can reach $4,000 for a typical easement.Part of our stewardship role also includes monitoring the property annually to insure the easement objectives are being met. As time passes, we often must address issues that arise relative to the easement agreement. We ask landowners to help cover these costs by contributing to our Land Stewardship Endowment Fund after the easement agreement is completed and filed. We will recommend a contribution amount based on the size of the property and number of the building envelopes. This contribution can be paid annually over a period of up to 10 years.\nOne or both of these provisions can be waived at the discretion of the board of directors of the Farm & Natural Lands Trust.\nLegal and accounting costs\nIt is always a good idea to talk to your lawyer and accountant when making a decision such as this.

So, the West Virginia Quota clubs took the initiative to help change the situation in their state, getting some assistance and encouragement from their Quota sisters across state lines. In an impressive show of unity and purpose, clubs throughout the First District worked together to encourage West Virginia’s lawmakers to mandate the procedure in hospitals.\nQuotarians contacted state delegates and senators all over the Mountain State through letters, phone calls, and visits to explain the benefits of infant hearing screening and to advocate passage of a law requiring it. As a final push, the District sponsored a breakfast during the legislative session in Charleston, the capital city, so lawmakers could get facts and discuss the issue.\nThe result: a rousing success! Infant hearing screening is now required by law for all newborn citizens of West Virginia before they leave the hospital.\nBut Quota didn’t stop there!\nThe Quota District created a poster that was distributed to medical facilities in the state to inform patients and medical personnel of the new legislation. Then, the District cooperated with the West Virginia Bureau for Public Welfare to produce an informative magnet about hearing development that bears Quota’s name and has been distributed to families throughout the state.\n“It has definitely brought our clubs closer together,” says past District Governor Kelly Palmer, who led the infant hearing screening effort. “The morale of our District is at an all-time high.

YOUR STATUS\nIn order to place an order on our site, you must be a consumer, not a business or a reseller and be at least 16 years of age.\n3. OUR PRODUCTS\n3.1 All the meals contained within SWH are pre-set. The plan does not allow for food allergies or intolerance and medical advice must be sought prior to using the Plan. It is important that you fully understand that the advice given from SWH is followed at your own risk and responsibility. Although SWH will recommend the use of products in line with the fat loss programme you must ensure that both you and your GP or consultant are comfortable with all the ingredients. Our approach to exercise and nutrition is what we believe is optimum for each client and by signing up to the company’s online plan you are trusting this approach and whilst feedback is appreciated – disagreeing with our methods on the basis of other professionals point of view will not result in any aspect of the plans being re-designed or warrant a refund. The training contained within the plan is also pre-set. Training is only recommended once a day and no more. Please ensure you complete your age, height and weight when signing up to use SWH.\n3.2 Liability and Risk. When following the company plan you are doing so responsibly with your own guidance and take full responsibility for the effects on your body which you may experience along the way. As with any exercise program you assume certain risks to your health and safety. Any form of exercise program can cause injuries, and any of the plans from Sam Witter Health Ltd is no exception. It is possible that you may become injured doing the exercises in your program, especially if they are done with poor form. If you choose to participate in these risks, you do so of your own free will and accord, knowingly and voluntarily assuming all risks associated with such exercise activities. These risks also exist for those who are currently in good health right now. Our company does not act as medical doctors. You MUST consult your doctor before beginning ANY of our plans or exercise programs. You MUST consult your doctor/physical therapist immediately in the event or illness or injury and follow their direct advice which could mean stopping the plan altogether. You are using SWH at your own risk and Sam Witter Health Ltd is not responsible for any injuries or health problems you may experience or even death as a result of using SWH.\n3.3 The images of the Products on our site are for illustrative purposes only.

If you opt to cancel, you will have to return (at our cost) any relevant Products you have already received and we will arrange a full refund of the price you have paid, including any delivery charges.\n9. YOUR CONSUMER RIGHT OF CANCELLATION\n9.1 If you are a consumer, you have a legal right to cancel a Contract under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 during the period set out below in clause 9.2 This means that during the relevant period if you change your mind or decide for any other reason that you do not want to sign up to SWH or keep a Product, or that you do not want a Service, you can notify us of your decision to cancel the Contract and receive a refund. Advice about your legal right to cancel the Contract is available from your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.\n9.2 Your legal right to cancel a Contract starts from the date of the Email Confirmation, which is when the Contract between us is formed. You have a period of 14 (fourteen) days in which you may cancel, starting from the day after you sign up to SWH or purchase a Product.\n9.3 To cancel a Contract, you just need to let us know that you have decided to cancel. You can e-mail us at email@example.com or by post. If you are e-mailing us or writing to us please include details of your order to help us to identify it.

PRICE OF PRODUCTS AND DELIVERY CHARGES\n10.1 The prices of the Products will be as quoted on our site at the time you place your order. We use our best efforts to ensure that the prices of Products and Services are correct at the time when the relevant information was posted on our site. However, if we discover an error in the price of any Product(s) and/or Service(s) you have ordered, please see clause 14.5 for what happens in this event.\n10.2 Prices for our Products and/or Services may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any order which we have confirmed with an Email Confirmation.\n10.3 The price of a Product or Service includes VAT (where applicable) at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK for the time being. However, if the rate of VAT changes between the date of your order and the date of delivery, we will adjust the VAT you pay, unless you have already paid for the Products in full before the change in VAT takes effect.\n10.4 The price of a Product does not include delivery charges. Our delivery charges are as advised to you during the check-out procedure before you confirm your order.\n10.5 Our site contains a large number of Products and Services. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products or Services on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that where the Product’s correct price is less than the price stated on our site, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Products to you. However, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing, we do not have to provide the Products or Services to you at the incorrect (lower) price and if the Product or Service’s correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will contact you as soon as possible to inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Product or Service at the correct price or cancelling your order. We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing.\n11. HOW TO PAY\n11.2 Payment for the Products, Services and all applicable delivery charges is in advance. We will not charge your debit card or credit card until we dispatch your order.\n11.3 By subscribing to a SWH subscription, you authorise us to use the card details you provide to us to take a one off payment for the relevant subscription fee. If that card expires at any time or we are otherwise unable to take payment from it, you must provide us with an alternative payment method. We reserve the right to suspend the subscription of any user that has not paid all of their subscription fees.\n12. MANUFACTURER GUARANTEES\n12.1 Some of the Products we sell to you come with a manufacturer’s guarantee. For details of the applicable terms and conditions, please refer to the manufacturer’s guarantee provided with the Products.\n12.2 As a consumer, a manufacturer’s guarantee is in addition to your legal rights in relation to Products that are faulty or not as described. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.\n13. OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS\n13.1 We may transfer our rights and obligations under a Contract to another organisation, but this will not affect your rights or our obligations under these Terms.\n13.2 You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these Terms to another person if we agree in writing.\n13.3 This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms, whether under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties Act) 1999 or otherwise.\n13.4 Each of the paragraphs of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.\n13.5 If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.\n13.6 Please note that these Terms are governed by English law. This means a Contract for the purchase of Products through our site and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it will be governed by English law. You and we both agree to that the courts of England and Wales will have exclusive jurisdiction, however we reserve the right to bring proceedings against customers in their country of residence.\n13.7 We will not file a copy of the Contract between us.\nSam Witter Health LIMITED\n140 Lee Lane,\nWe will respond to all requests, inquiries or concerns within 2 (2) days.", "domain": "law"}

Over the next few months, I am going to attempt to explain the difference between a fixture and a non-fixture and provide alternatives to the Texas’ mechanic’s lien process for securing the goods and services provided on a property.\n“Fixtures” means goods that have become so related to particular real property that an interest in them arises under the real property law of the state in which the real property is situated. In other words, Fixtures are generally physically attached to the building. There are numerous examples of this on a construction project – carpet, tile, countertops, bathtubs, … This should not be confused with the term “removable.” See http://www.kmdalegal.com/construction-law/foreclosure-of-your-mechanics-lien/\nLikewise, “Non-Fixtures” would be those goods which are made a part of a construction project but not permanently affixed as to become an actual part of the property. For example, furnishings, equipment such as sound systems, tv’s, refrigerators and light fixtures, etc.\nYou might wonder how this relates to you and how this helps you get paid. I am sure at this point you have either personally been burned or know someone who has been burned by filing a mechanic’s lien on the property only to have your lien “foreclosed out” by the bank leaving your remedies extremely limited. However, in Texas, there are various filings that you can file with the Secretary of State to secure your interest in the fixture or non-fixture you provide to a property. This is important to you because, in some situations, you can have priority over a bank that has provided the construction loan for the property thus securing your rights even through a foreclosure.\nNow I want to go over how Security Interests in Non-Fixtures works. The Uniform Commercial Code Section (UCC) is the central filing office for certain financing statements and other documents provided for under the Uniform Commercial Code since 1966. Some of the main documents which are filed are financing statements and certain types of liens. Securing non-fixtures should be done through the filing of a financing statement with the secretary of state. The financing statement should state: the name and mailing address of the debtor; the name and mailing address of the secured party; an indication of the collateral covered. The authenticated security agreement itself may be filed as the financing statement if the parties so desire. “Authenticated” is defined as signed. The financing statement should be filed as soon as possible but certainly not later than 20 days after the first delivery of goods to the person with whom your contract is with.\nI know what you are thinking. More paperwork? YES. With our whole country struggling financially, unfortunately, the primary way to protect yourself is through a paper trail. The good news is that a financing statement or security agreement are simple forms that you probably can have drawn up one time through an attorney. This does not have to be complicated but you do have to go through the process of having something customized to your type of business that you can repeatedly use for your various customers and clients.\nNext month, I am going to discuss Security Interests in Fixtures and explain how these UCC filings can help you gain priority over other potential claimants", "domain": "law"}

It is an important question, because ensuring that the risks associated with GDPR non-compliance are appropriately controlled, is a corporate governance accountability.\nNow if a paradigm could be created that would facilitate the ability of most directors to ask the appropriate questions of management, that would be great. Now the depth of GDPR makes simplifying it a complex matter, but we suggested that management provide feedback to the board along three categories; data subjects, data controllers and data processors – A, B and C in the image respectively. These are the primary subjects that GDPR addresses.\nFurthermore, it was suggested that reporting aspects of the GDPR that the organization complies with be contrasted against aspects of the GDPR that the organization does not yet comply with, for each of the three categories A, B and C.\nWithout releasing board directors of their obligations to be informed about important matters such as GDPR, the hope is that it makes a complex regulatory requirement easier to digest for board directors that might not be as close to the regulation as some other directors may be. Hopefully this makes it easier for the board to pursue various directions of questioning in a structured manner.", "domain": "law"}

(CGL) to be in “non compliance” with three conditions of their environmental assessment certificate. The EAO has requested that CGL “immediately cease activities” within the trapline registered to our Hereditary Chief Knedebeas (Warner William) that may adversely affect the trapline’s use.\nThe BCEAO has found that Coastal GasLink failed to provide the required six months of advance notice for construction activities affecting our trapline, and additionally failed to conduct required site habitat assessments before beginning work.\nCGL has been ordered to “not resume activities that may affect” the use of this trapline until June 12, 2019, or until the trapline is no longer in use due to seasonal restrictions.\nThus far, Coastal GasLink has ignored the EAO cease and desist order for Dark House territory. Despite delivery of the stop-work order on Wednesday of this week, CGL contractors continued to block access to our traplines, and were operating bulldozers and excavators within meters of our active traps on Wednesday and Thursday.\nEAO’s stop-work order follows the extensive disruption and destruction of Unist’ot’en trapping areas by Coastal GasLink contractors. For weeks, RCMP and Coastal GasLink security personnel have denied our trappers access to their lines, threatened Unist’ot’en Healing Centre residents with arrest, and overseen the leveling of a clearly marked and active trapline in blatant violation of the BC Wildlife Act.\nOver the past month CGL has installed five bridges into previously deactivated roadways, effectively ruining sections of our trapline. Our most successful lines have come up empty over the past month, as heavy machinery, traffic, noise, lights, and human presence have encroached on and damaged animal habitats, scaring the animals away.\nBy bulldozing our most accessible trapline, CGL has forced our trappers to travel greater distances and into harder to access areas. Disturbance of trapping activities has increased our operational costs and reduced our trapping income, such that our trapping activities may not break even this year.\nThe trapping program is an integral part of Unist’ot’en Healing Center activities as it provides a cultural, land-based activity that allows residents to connect with ancestral knowledge and practice. Through these activities residents acquire skills that establish a sense of personal esteem and mastery, building up their confidence as knowledge keepers and eventually as teachers. Trappers connect with the land, animals, and ancestors in a ceremonial manner that recognizes their place in relation to the natural world. Trapping is a grounding, healing, and sacred practice. CGL has disrupted this vital aspect of Healing Center programming, while our residents have been re-traumatized by police and CGL security as they tend to their traplines.\n“Being out here trapping on the territory is healing to me. Its reviving the teaching that I received from my uncle as a kid growing up. Being able to do all of this on my own during my healing journey is more than a blessing. More than gold to me. Because I am able to pass this teaching on to the younger generation,” stated Johnny Morris, a Healing Center resident from the Gidumt’en Clan of the Wet’suwet’en Nation.\nCGL has still not obtained consent to conduct any work on our unceded territories. Our biggest concerns about this project are already manifesting themselves in the pre-construction phase, as CGL has demolished archaeological sites, destroyed traplines, destroyed property, and endangered and abused our residents. They continue to use their court injunction as a legal bludgeon to force their way into our territory while violating permits and protocols. Despite this precedent, we expect CGL to be held accountable under Canadian laws and regulations so that our trappers can carry out the rest of the trapping season unmolested.\nUnist’ot’en have been trapping on this territory since time immemorial and will continue to do so. Our relationship with the animals on the territory we care for has been ongoing for millenia, and we have no intention of severing these ties. Our Hereditary Chief Knedebeas, who oversees this territory, first started trapping this area as a teenager, and this tradition is kept up today by Unist’ot’en house members, supporters, and those on the territory for healing.\nBacked by both Canadian Law and ‘Anuc niwh’it’en (Wet’suwet’en Law), we will ensure that the healing work we are conducting on our traplines can continue unabated, and that CGL will be held accountable to those laws.\nMedia Contact: email@example.com\nFreda Huson, Spokesperson\nDark House – Unist’ot’en", "domain": "law"}

Now more than ever, it is important to speak up about the importance of protecting net neutrality.\nNot only will repealing it affect consumers, but as our school system increasingly grows reliant on technology, it is important to think of how that affects public school budgets.\nLeon County Schools pays for internet access to services such as ClassLink, Kahoot, Parent Portal, Blackboard, and many others. Imagine the constraint on the county budget to have to pay for different packages to access these services for the student body population of over 33,000 students.\nNet neutrality has sadly become a politicized issue, and the idea of a free and open internet should never be a politicized issue. Setting a rule that every company gets equal internet access doesn’t mean the government is controlling the internet, but rather that large corporations don’t.\nTake for example, our website, which doesn’t get nearly the amount of funding a major news source, such as the New York Times would. If net neutrality were repealed, the Times would be able to spend their money to load their content to the internet faster, while we would not be able to.\nProtecting the enforcement of net neutrality provides an even playing ground for small businesses to flourish and protects the interests of consumers, not big business.", "domain": "law"}

These pictures, taken on 16th July 2019 were shared with ECNF by a concerned resident who is opposed to Rossendale Borough Council’s plans to remove these fields from the green belt and allow 456 additional homes to be built in Edenfield.\nThese photographs were sent to ECNF by a concerned resident last week after he spotted the surveyors working on the fields again last week.\nThe ground is being surveyed for Taylor Wimpey for their proposed housing development on this green belt land. The development is dependent on the reclassification of the land by Rossendale Borough Council and is opposed by ECNF. ECNF is working on an alternative local plan for Edenfield based on more sustainable development.\nThe planning inspectors have started to post information on the RBC website. This can be found under “Latest News” on the following page: https://www.rossendale.gov.uk/info/210148/local_plan/10629/emerging_local_plan/2\nThe inspectors have started to request information from RBC. This includes information related to Edenfield (paragraphs 5 and 6 under general of EL1.002a.)\nThey also say that they will be available for the public examination 2-3 weeks before 22nd September when the planning hearings are due to commence.\nThe Inspector, the Programme Officer (and, we assume, RBC) will post updates in this section of the website as necessary.\nECNF will be holding a Spring Quiz at the Community Centre on Exchange Street on Saturday 27th April starting at 7.30pm (doors open at 7.00pm).\nThe entry fee of £8 includes a Meat and Potato Pie supper with mushy peas.\nFor details, please see the flyer below:\nECNF Spring Quiz\nRossendale Borough Council submitted their Draft Local Plan to the Planning Inspectorate on 25th March 2019. The submitted Plan did contain some changes from the Regulation 19 Plan but none of these were very significant. The submitted Plan, a copy of the plan showing the changes and other submitted documents can be found on the Council’s website – follow the link:\nThe Planning Inspectorate will appoint an Inspector who will undertake an independent examination of the Plan which will include an examination in public. Information on the examination including the timing of the public examination can be found by following the link below:\nDraft minutes from the ECNF AGM held on 26th March 2019.\nForum AGM March 2019. Draft minutes\nMinutes of the ECNF meeting held on 14th August 2018.\nForum meeting 14-8-18 minutes\nMany Thanks to all those who have donated to our village wide appeal launched in October 2018 for funds to help with the costs of continuing to challenge Rossendale Council’s housing proposals for Edenfield. The potential effect of these proposals is to allow 400+ houses to be built on the land between Market Street and the A56 bypass. The next stage of the process is for the Council to submit their proposals to an independent Planning Inspector. The Inspector’s consideration of these proposals will include an “Examination in Public” which is likely to be in June 2019.\nThe appeal for funds, including unspent donations/other funds already held at the start of the appeal has, to the end of February 2019, generated about 50% of the target sought.\nFurther funds are therefore still needed and, if you wish to help, donations can be made in any of the following ways;-\n- Cheque made payable to “Edenfield Community Neighbourhood Forum” delivered/sent to the Treasurer at 123, Market Street, Edenfield, BL0 0JJ.\n- Payment direct to the Edenfield Community Neighbourhood Forum account at Nat West Bank Sort Code 01-01-42 Account 26141914.\n- Monthly Standing Order of say £7 to £13 paid to the account as above over a fixed period of say 6 to 12 months.\nNote that in the unlikely event that all funds raised are not spent on representation before the Planning Inspector any surplus will be used to support the production/development of the Edenfield Neighbourhood Plan being produced by ECNF in accordance with the provisions of the Localism Act 2011 and which will be the subject of a public consultation and a local referendum in the near future.", "domain": "law"}

A few examples include bank accounts, retirement accounts, and property. If you are not interested in living in the property, you might want to sell it. Unfortunately, selling inherited property is not necessarily a straightforward process. There are several important points you need to keep in mind. What do you need to do if you are interested in selling inherited property? Take a look at the most important steps below.\nReceiving the Inherited Property\nFirst, the property has to be transferred to your name. Inheriting property from a deceased person’s estate is a legal process. If there is a valid will, then many of the legal steps can be skipped, which means you can save money. Many estates end up in the probate process. This controls how the assets are distributed and ensures that the wishes of the person who has passed away are carried out. Every state has its own laws when it comes to the probate process, so you need to work with a professional who can walk with you down this road.\nUnderstanding Different Ownership Options\nThere are several different ownership options. For example, this might be a situation where you are the only person whose name ends up on the property. If that is the case, then the process is much more straightforward. On the other hand, if the property is divided between multiple heirs, everyone has a piece of the property. This means that it can be much more complicated to get everyone to agree on what should be done with the property. Again, this is a situation where it is important to work with a professional who can help you. That way, you can minimize expenses and make sure all taxes are paid. A professional can also help you minimize your tax liability.\nAs the will is carried out, an executor will be responsible for distributing the property. If all of the heirs agree on what to do with the property, then the executor will get their permission to go through the selling process. If the heirs cannot agree on what to do with the property, then there is a chance that the issue could end up in court. This will only complicate the process, and it could make everything much more expensive. In some situations, a mediator or a family attorney may have to get involved to help in the negotiation process. Disputes are not uncommon, but they can be minimized if you work with a professional.\nMaximize the Value of the Property\nOnce the property is put up for sale, it is important to maximize its value. You have probably already spent enough time and money going through the paperwork, so you might be looking for a way to offload the property as quickly as possible. Instead of hiring a real estate agent to put the house on the market, you should try to find a cash offer for the house. That way, you can get to the closing table as quickly as possible, you don’t have to worry about being in the local area for multiple showings, and you can avoid closing expenses that will otherwise eat away at the value of the property. If you have inherited property that you want to sell for cash, it would be our pleasure to take it off your hands.\nWork With We Buy Houses Cleveland to Sell Your Inherited Property Fast\nIf you want to sell your house fast, we can help you. We are We Buy Houses Cleveland, and we would be happy to make a cash offer for your house today. We know that it can be complicated if you are trying to sell property that you have inherited, and we can streamline the process for you.

The three women were Sherrill Levitt, a 47-year-old single mother; her 19-year-old daughter, Suzie Streeter; and Suzie's 18-year-old friend, Stacy McCall. The case has remained unsolved for over three decades, despite extensive investigations by law enforcement agencies and numerous leads and tips from the public.\nOn June 6, 1992, Sherrill Levitt had hosted a graduation party for her daughter, Suzie Streeter, at their home on East Delmar Street. Stacy McCall was also at the party, and the three women had planned to spend the night together at Levitt's home. However, when friends and family members went to check on them the following morning, they discovered that the three women were missing.\nThere were no signs of forced entry, and everything in the house appeared to be in order except for a broken porch light. The women's purses, keys, and personal belongings were left behind, as well as a graduation present from Suzie's boyfriend, which had been left unopened on the bed. The only thing that appeared to be missing was the three women themselves.\nLaw enforcement agencies launched an intensive investigation, which included searches of the surrounding area, interviews with friends and family members, and even the use of psychics. However, despite numerous leads and tips, no solid evidence was found, and the case remains unsolved to this day.\nOver the years, several theories have been proposed, including the possibility that the women were abducted by someone they knew, or that they were victims of a serial killer. Some people have suggested that the women may have been involved in illegal activities or that they disappeared voluntarily, but there is no concrete evidence to support these theories.\nThe case has received widespread media attention over the years, and the families of the three women continue to search for answers. In 2021, the Springfield Police Department announced that they had received new leads in the case and were actively pursuing new leads. However, no arrests have been made, and the fate of the Springfield Three remains a mystery. In this episode, we explore the details of the case, including the events leading up to their disappearance, the investigation that followed, and the theories that have been proposed over the years.

Industry people who really should know better use the terms interchangeably, generally saying, “emancipated” when they mean “legal 18.” Here are the basic differences spelled out.\nLegal 18: (passed the CHSPE)\n- An adult in the eyes of the industry re: work hours and education\n- No longer required to attend high school or have a set teacher\n- No work permit required\n- Still a minor in the eyes of the law\n- Cannot sign legal contracts\n- Earnings subject to Coogan law\nEmancipated: (legally independent from parents)\n- An adult in the eyes of the law except for education and work hours\n- Still required to be enrolled in school or have a set teacher\n- Work permit still required\n- Still under minor work guidelines for hours\n- Can sign legal contracts\n- Earnings not subject to Coogan law/ Coogan funds available\nThere is an excellent chart at the BizParentz Foundation online (BizParentz.org) that spells out these and other related distinctions (click the icon at the top left of the linked page). I found it really helpful to have a few extra copies printed out to give to set PA’s (Production Assistants) who were frequently confused about what my daughter’s “legal 18” status actually meant.\nIt’s conventional wisdom that emancipation is a choice of genuinely last resort\nTypically, emancipation is used when finances have been so mismanaged that the Coogan funds must be tapped to pay back taxes, or when the relationship between parents and child has become so strained that the child wishes to be legally freed of them. Other than filing for emancipation with a court of law, marriage and joining the armed forces are the only other ways to become legally independent of one’s parents before the age of 18.\nEmancipation does not solve the educational requirement issue, nor the work permit issue. And it leaves young people vulnerable to exploitation since they can sign legally binding contracts that they may not fully understand. Emancipation generally means that something has gone wrong. Try to avoid going there.\nThe CHSPE and Work Permits\nThe subject of work permits—how they work, and how to get one– was largely covered in a previous blog post, Does my Child Actor Need a Work Permit? They Haven’t Even Gotten An Audition Yet! But here you can see how entwined with the subject of school they are.\nIf your child passes the CHSPE, they no longer need a work permit. But work permits can be great leverage to have your kid keep their grades up if that is an issue. And their very existence serves as a reminder that children are children, and if they are working during hours that they should normally be in school, that there are laws about how many hours are allowed, and how much time should be set aside for education. Sidestepping those rules is an option that should not be taken lightly.\nWas this helpful? Are you clear about the difference between passing the CHSPE and Emancipation now? Or do you still have questions? Shoot me an email at email@example.com !\nMy book, The Hollywood Parents Guide, available on Amazon contains everything I wish I’d known when Dove and I started this journey, and will save you untold amounts of time, money, and stress. Full of information you MUST know, it also features stories from parents of other kids who’ve made it!\nOr book an hour consulting with me to come up with an individualized plan that takes your own unique needs into account. For about the cost of an hour with a professional acting coach, you can get your questions answered and a road map to help you move forward toward your dream.\nIf your young actor is 12 or older, they will enjoy reading my second book, Young Hollywood Actors, which shares stories and advice from some of their favorite performers.\nInvest a little in your kid’s future today.\nDid you enjoy this post?

Legal firms are increasingly turning towards client portals as a powerful tool to streamline their operations and enhance client interactions. A client portal is a secure web-based platform that provides clients with personalised access to their case information, documents, and communication channels with their legal representatives. This article explores how they have become crucial technology in modern legal firms and their significant benefits for both clients and legal practitioners.\nImproved Client Communication and Engagement\nClient portals act as a central hub where clients can effortlessly communicate with their legal team. Instead of traditional phone calls and email exchanges, clients can immediately access real-time information about their legal matters and related documents, have a dashboard overview of their portfolio, access value-added information provided by the firm, ask questions, and instruct on new matters. They are essentially a one-stop shop for doing business with the firm electronically. This level of communication fosters trust and transparency between legal professionals and their clients, leading to improved client satisfaction and loyalty.\nEfficient Document Management\nIn the legal profession, an enormous volume of documents are generated and exchanged. Customer portals offer a seamless approach to document management by allowing clients to upload, download, and review legal documents conveniently. This reduces the reliance on traditional communication services and expedites the document-sharing process, ultimately saving time and resources for both parties. Client portals remove issues like couriering of USBs or data and the need for separate file sharing sites.\n24/7 Accessibility and Convenience\nWith a portal, clients are no longer constrained by office hours or geographic boundaries. They can access their case information and relevant documents at any time, from anywhere with an internet connection. This level of accessibility ensures convenience for clients, particularly those with busy schedules or international clients in different time zones.\nStreamlined Case Tracking\nA portal also offers clients real-time visibility into the progress of their cases. They can view updates, court dates, and other vital information without having to repeatedly contact their legal representatives. This transparency fosters a sense of involvement and empowerment for clients, leading to increased satisfaction with the legal services provided.\nTime and Cost Efficiency\nBy reducing the need for physical paperwork and face-to-face meetings, client portals contribute to significant time and cost savings for both clients and legal firms. Administrative tasks, such reporting and document handling can be streamlined, allowing legal professionals to focus more on complex legal matters and providing high-quality legal counsel.\nDashboards allow the client to better understand their commercial relationship with the firm and easily keep track of current activity. This transparency builds trust and confidence in the overall relationship. It also has the added benefit of potentially facilitating faster payment of invoices.\nIn today's competitive legal landscape, adopting client portals sets legal firms apart from their peers. Clients are more likely to choose a firm that embraces modern technology and offers streamlined processes to facilitate their legal journey. A client portal can be a unique selling point for attracting new clients and retaining existing ones.\nAccess to Additional Resources\nBeyond case-specific information, client portals can also serve as a knowledge repository for clients, providing access to legal resources, FAQs, and educational content. This self-service approach empowers clients to find answers to common questions and gain a deeper understanding of legal processes.\nThe implementation of client portals in legal firms marks a significant shift towards more efficient, client-centric, and technologically advanced practices. By leveraging this essential technology, legal firms can improve client communication, data security and case management while increasing their competitive edge in the industry. As the legal landscape continues to evolve, embracing client portals becomes crucial for any legal firm aiming to thrive in the digital age and deliver exceptional client experiences.", "domain": "law"}

Bryan Stevenson is a real-life, modern-day Atticus Finch who, through his work in redeeming innocent people condemned to death, has sought to redeem the country itself. This is a book of great power and courage. It is inspiring and suspenseful. A revelation.'\nIsabel Wilkerson, author of The Warmth of Other Sons\n'Just Mercy is as deeply moving, poignant and powerful a book as has been, and maybe ever can be, written about the death penalty, and the failures of the administration of criminal justice ... [It] will make you gasp at the inhumanity of humankind.'\nRaymond Bonner, Financial Times\n'Bryan Stevenson is one of my personal heroes, perhaps the most inspiring and influential crusader for justice alive today, and Just Mercy is extraordinary. The stories told within these pages hold the potential to transform what we think we mean when we talk about justice.'\nMichelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow\n‘This is so important. Stevenson explains how deep-rooted racism is, while giving hope that it doesn’t have to exist.’\n'Our American criminal justice system has become an instrument of evil. Bryan Stevenson has labored long and hard, and with great skill and temperate passion, to set things right. Words such as important and compelling may have lost their force through overuse, but reading this book will restore their meaning, along with one's hopes for humanity.'\nTracy Kidder, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Mountains Beyond Mountains\n'Powerful ... This book will shock, anger and inspire you.'\nSunday Independent (Ireland)\n'Unfairness in the justice system is a major theme of our age ... This book brings new life to the story by placing it in two affecting contexts: Stevenson's life work and the deep strain of racial injustice in American life ... You don't have to read too long to start cheering for this man. Against tremendous odds, Stevenson has worked to free scores of people from wrongful or excessive punishment, arguing five times before the Supreme Court ... The book extols not his nobility, but that of the cause, and reads like a call to action for all that remains to be done ... The message of the book, hammered home by dramatic examples of one man's refusal to sit quietly and countenance horror, is that evil can be overcome, a difference can be made. Just Mercy will make you upset and it will make you hopeful ... Bryan Stevenson has been angry about [the criminal justice system] for years, and we are all the better for it.'\nNew York Times\n'After the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., I wrote a couple of columns entitled When Whites Just Don’t Get It. The reaction to those columns — sometimes bewildered, resentful or unprintable — suggests to me that many whites in America don’t understand the depths of racial inequity lingering in this country. This inequity is embedded in our law enforcement and criminal justice system, and that is why Bryan Stevenson may, indeed, be America's Mandela ... Stevenson, 54, grew up in a poor black neighborhood in Delaware and ended up at Harvard Law School. He started the Equal Justice Initiative, based in Montgomery, Ala., to challenge bias and represent the voiceless. It's a tale he recounts in a searing, moving and infuriating memoir that is scheduled to be published later this month, Just Mercy.'\nNick Kristof, New York Times\n'Stevenson's contributions to social justice have been remarkable. But his efforts, on top of his continuing legal practice, to provide this inside glimpse of the criminal justice system are priceless.'\nThe Seattle Times\n'Not since Atticus Finch has a fearless and committed lawyer made such a difference in the American South. Though larger than life, Atticus exists only in fiction. Bryan Stevenson, however, is very much alive and doing God’s work fighting for the poor, the oppressed, the voiceless, the vulnerable, the outcast, and those with no hope. Just Mercy is his inspiring and powerful story.'\nNew York Times '100 Notable Books of 2014'\n'Stevenson reveals how much of a difference believing in someone and fighting their cause can make. An incredible story ... may help fuel the fire on your own journey.'\n‘The compelling story of the legal practice he [Stevenson] founded to protect the rights of people on the margins of American society … Emotionally profound, necessary reading.’ STARRED REVIEW\n‘Stevenson is not only a great lawyer, he’s also a gifted writer and storyteller. His memoir should find an avid audience among players in the legal system — jurists, prosecutors, defence lawyers, legislators, academics, journalists — and especially anyone contemplating a career in criminal justice.’\nThe Washington Post\n‘This powerful book is a damning indictment of the US “justice” system, which has the world’s highest rate of incarceration … A gifted narrator as well as a great lawyer, from his long dedication to helping the poor to achieve justice and mercy, he has learned that “each of us is more than the worst thing we’ve ever done.’\nThe Irish Times\n‘[A] passionate rallying cry for people, especially those in law enforcement, to employ more just mercy in dealing with offenders … A must-read for anyone in the field of criminal justice and for fans of true crime.’\n‘A passionate account of the ways our nation thwarts justice and inhumanely punishes the poor and disadvantaged.’ STARRED REVIEW", "domain": "law"}

Acceptance of Contract; Orders: These Standard Terms and Conditions of Purchase (these “Terms”) govern the relationship between the Sport Group Holding entity (“Buyer”) that purchases goods or services (“Goods” or “Services”) from the seller of such Goods or Services (“Seller”). To form a legally binding agreement, Buyer shall issue a written order to Seller (“Order”) with an order number for the Goods and Services unless another process is agreed (e.g. electronic data interchange (EDI), vendor-managed inventory (VMI) or consignment stock). Seller agrees to be bound by these Terms when it signs and returns an acknowledgement copy of the Order, indicates its acceptance of the Order in writing, or delivers any of the ordered Goods to Buyer or renders any of the ordered Services. The Order shall be subject solely to these Terms; any additional or different terms proposed by the Seller are rejected unless expressly accepted in writing by an authorized representative of Buyer. These Terms together with the Order and any specifications, drawings, data, and other documents attached to the Order or incorporated into the Order by reference constitutes the entire agreement between Buyer and Seller (this “Agreement”). No modification of this Agreement shall be binding upon Buyer unless in writing and signed by Buyer’s authorized representatives.\n2. Prices; Invoices: Goods and/or Services shall be provided at the prices set forth in the Order. Prices in the Order may not be increased without Buyer’s written consent. Each invoice shall contain the following information: Order number, date, order line item, material number, description of items, quantities, unit prices, and any other information specified elsewhere herein. Unless otherwise specified in the Order, the prices set forth in the Order include all applicable federal, state, and local taxes, customs or duties. All such taxes shall be stated separately on Seller’s invoice. At all times, Seller warrants that the prices set forth in the Order are no less favorable than those currently extended to any other customer for the same or similar goods in equal or less quantities. Seller further warrants that the prices charged to Buyer are in compliance with all applicable government laws, rules, and regulations.\n3. Payment: Payments shall be made within Terms as listed on the purchase orders, Standard terms are 2% 30, Net 45 or Net 45 days of the date of delivery. All payments shall be made U.S. dollars. Buyer may at any time setoff any amount owed by Seller or any of its affiliated companies to Buyer.\n4. Changes: Buyer reserves the right at any time to change any of the following provided that any change must be submitted in writing: (a) specifications, drawings, and data for items manufactured to specifications provided by Buyer or which are otherwise specially designed for Buyer; (b) methods of shipment or packing; (c) place, time or manner of delivery; and (d) quantities. If any such change causes an increase or decrease in the cost of, or the time required for performance of the Agreement, an equitable adjustment shall be made in the Agreement price, delivery schedule, or both. Any claim by Seller for adjustment under this clause must be submitted no later than ten (10) days after the change is made and approved by the Buyer in writing before the Seller proceeds with such change. Buyer shall not be liable for any price increases for work performed prior to a written modification indicating the price change signed by Buyer. IN NO EVENT SHALL BUYER BE LIABLE FOR ANTICIPATORY PROFITS OR FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. BUYER’S LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO AN ORDER, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE PRICE ALLOCABLE TO THE GOODS PURCHASED UNDER SUCH ORDER.\n5. Delivery: Time is of the essence. Unless otherwise specifically provided on the face of the Order, all Goods shall be delivered DDP (Incoterms 2020) to the delivery address stated by Buyer. Buyer shall be entitled to choose the carrier and the mode of transport. Seller shall bear all risk of loss, damage, or destruction to the Goods until final acceptance by Buyer at destination. Each delivery shall be accompanied by packing or delivery notes specifying the contents and the necessary order details (order number, date of order, order line item, material number, quantity). Title to the Goods shall pass to Buyer upon delivery. If ordered Goods and Services are not provided in the quantities and at the time specified, Seller shall have a five (5) day period to correct any deficiency. If not corrected, Buyer reserves the right, without liability, and in addition to other rights and remedies provided under this Agreement or applicable law, to take the following actions or any combination thereof: (a) direct expedited shipping of Goods (the difference in cost between the expedited shipping and standard shipping costs to be paid by Seller), or (b) terminate this Agreement by notice effective when received by Seller as to all or any specified Goods not yet shipped or Services not yet rendered with Seller to refund payments Buyer has made, if any, for such Goods or Services, or (c) to purchase substitute goods or services elsewhere and charge Seller for the difference between the cost of substitute goods and the sales price. Seller shall be liable for excess transportation charges, delays or claims resulting from Seller’s deviation from Buyer’s shipping instructions. Buyer will have no liability to pay for Goods delivered to Buyer which exceed quantities specified in the Order and delivery schedules. Buyer may at its option retain such Goods and pay for them at the unit price or reject and return such Goods at Seller’s expense, including transportation charges both ways. Buyer will not be liable for any material or production cost incurred in excess of the amount or in advance of the time necessary to meet Buyer’s delivery schedules.\n6. Inspection and Acceptance: Receipt or payment for any Goods under this Agreement shall not constitute acceptance thereof. All Goods or Services purchased hereunder are subject to inspection by Buyer either before or after payment. Buyer’s count of Goods shall be conclusive. Buyer reserves the right to reject Goods or Services which do not comply with the Order including instructions, specifications, drawings, and data or Seller’s warranties (expressed or implied). Rejected Goods will be returned to Seller for full credit or replacement at Buyer’s sole option and at Seller’s risk and expense, including all transportation charges. No replacement of rejected Goods shall be made unless agreed to by Buyer in writing. Acceptance of any part of the Goods shall not bind Buyer to accept future shipments, nor deprive it of the right to return nonconforming Goods already accepted. Acceptance of all or any part of the Goods shall not waive Buyer’s right to cancel or return all or any portion of the Goods because of failure to conform to this Agreement, or by reason of defects, latent or patent, or other breach of warranty, or to make any claim for damages, including manufacturing costs, damage to Goods caused by improper boxing, crating or packing and loss of profits or other damages incurred by the Buyer. Such rights shall be in addition to any other remedies provided by law.\n7. Force Majeure: Neither party shall be liable for delays or defaults due to causes solely beyond its control and without its fault or negligence, including but not limited to fires, floods, and Acts of God or government, provided however, that as soon as Seller has reason to believe that Goods or Services will not be delivered when scheduled, written notice setting forth the cause of the anticipated delay must be given immediately to Buyer.\n8. Packing, Drayage and Containers: No charges for packing, drayage or containers will be allowed unless specified on the face of the Order, or specifically listed as an additional and separate charge which is agreed to in advance in writing by Buyer. Seller shall be liable for damage to Goods caused by improper boxing, crating or packaging. Packaging requiring a deposit may be returned for full credit at Buyer’s option.\n9. Seller’s Warranties: Seller hereby represents and warrants that: (a) all Goods and Services provided hereunder shall be new at the time of delivery, of merchantable quality and fit for Buyer’s purposes, (b) all Goods and Services shall conform with the Order and all descriptions and specifications, (c) all Goods and Services furnished hereunder shall conform to all representations, affirmations, promises, samples or models forming the basis of this Agreement, (d) all Services performed for or on behalf of the Buyer will be performed in a competent, workmanlike manner and shall be free from faults and defects, (e) all Goods shall be free of defects in design, materials or workmanship, (f) Seller has conveyed good title to the Goods to Buyer, free and clear of any and all liens, encumbrances or other charges of any kind; and (g) the country of origin is correctly stated. Seller agrees that, to the extent applicable, these warranties shall survive for a period of minimum one (1) year from acceptance of the Goods and Services and are in addition to any warranties of additional scope given by Seller to Buyer and all warranties provided by law. In the event of any breach of warranty, Buyer may invoke any of the following rights and remedies or a combination thereof, as well as any other remedies provided by law: (i) require Seller to repair or replace the Goods (at Buyer’s option) so that they conform to Seller’s warranties, (ii) repair the Goods or have them repaired by a third party so that they conform to the warranties at Seller’s expense; or (iii) return the Goods to Seller for a full refund of the purchase price and any transportation or other incidental charges incurred by Buyer.\n10. Property of Buyer: Unless otherwise provided in the Order or agreed to in writing, Buyer’s property furnished to or made available to Seller, including but not limited to all tooling, tools, equipment and material and any replacement thereof, shall remain the sole property of Buyer. Such property, other than materials, shall not be modified without the written consent of the Buyer. Buyer’s property shall be plainly marked or otherwise adequately identified by Seller as the property of Buyer and shall be safely stored separately and apart from Seller’s property. Seller shall not use such property except for performance of work hereunder or as authorized in writing by Buyer. Such property while in Seller’s possession or control shall be kept in good condition, shall be held at Seller’s risk, and shall be kept insured against damage or loss by Seller, at its expense, in an amount equal to the replacement cost, with loss payable to Buyer. To the extent such property is not material consumed in the performance of the Order, it shall be subject to inspection and removal by Buyer at any time and Buyer shall have a right of entry for such purposes without liability to Seller. When directed by Buyer, Seller shall disclose the location of such property and/or prepare it for shipment and ship it to Buyer in as good condition as originally received by Seller; reasonable wear and tear is accepted.\n11. Special Tooling: If the price stated on the face of the Order includes special dyes, jigs, tools, and/or patterns used in the manufacture of the Goods ordered hereunder, then such special dyes, jigs, tools or patterns shall be and become the property of Buyer. No dyes, jigs, tools, patterns, drawings, or specifications supplied to Seller by, or otherwise belonging to Buyer shall be used in the production, manufacturer design of any products other than those called for by the Order, except with the written consent of Buyer. Upon termination of the\nOrder, such dyes, jigs, tools patterns, drawings or specifications belonging to Buyer shall be disposed of as directed by Buyer. All such dyes, jigs, tools, patterns, drawings, or specifications shall be fully insured by Seller against loss by fire and other perils covered in a standard extended coverage endorsement while in Seller’s possession.\n12. Confidential Information and Proprietary Rights: The terms of the Order (including pricing), together with all technical information in the nature of designs, blueprints, specifications, engineering data for production or product know-how, which is supplied to the Seller by the Buyer or by third parties on behalf of Buyer to facilitate or assist in the performance of this Agreement, shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Buyer and, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Buyer, shall be considered Buyer’s “Confidential Information” and kept confidential by the Seller. Seller may only use Buyer’s Confidential Information for the express purpose of performing this Agreement for Buyer. Seller will use and cause its employees and agents to use extreme caution not to disclose any Confidential Information of Buyer, either directly or by incorporation of such information in, or its use in, manufacturing products for others. Upon completion of the Order or at any other time upon request, all documents or other materials containing such Confidential Information shall be returned to Buyer or shall be destroyed. Seller may not disclose its business relationship with Buyer or any Buyer Confidential Information without Buyer’s prior written consent. Additionally, Seller hereby transfers and irrevocably assigns to Buyer all rights in and to any invention, improvement or discovery (whether or not patentable), conceived or first reduced to practice in the performance of this Agreement by any employee of the Seller or other person working under Seller’s direction. Upon completion of performance of this Agreement, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a complete copy of the documentation relating to any such invention, improvement or discovery.\n13. Indemnification: Seller shall, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, its affiliates, and its and their officers, directors, employees, agents, customers and assigns, from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, arising from: (a) any products liability claims relating to Goods and Services supplied pursuant to this Agreement; (b) failure of such Goods or Services to conform to applicable safety standards, warranties, specifications or requirements; and (c) infringement by such Goods or Services of any patent, copyright or other intellectual property or proprietary right of a third party.\n14. Insurance: Seller shall maintain in force adequate levels of insurance from any losses arising out of this Agreement including, without limitation, Commercial General Liability Insurance with policy limits of at least $2,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 annual aggregate. Further, if Seller’s services are of a professional nature, Seller shall maintain professional liability insurance with policy limits of not less than $2,000,000 per claim and $2,000,000 annual aggregate. Buyer, its parent, subsidiary and affiliated companies, and any of their directors, officers, employees or representatives shall be named as additional insureds on all such policies (except for worker’s compensation, and, if applicable, professional liability) with a corresponding waiver of rights of subrogation against any additional insureds. All such policies shall be issued by insurance companies licensed in the state in which services are to be performed and that maintain an AM Best rating of A -VIII or better. Seller shall be fully responsible for the payment of any deductible or self-insured retention, which shall not exceed $25,000 in any policy without Buyer’s written permission. Seller shall furnish Buyer with certificates of insurance demonstrating that the above required (or better) policies are in place and, where applicable, confirming additional insured status and waivers of subrogation. Seller shall furnish Buyer with copies of the policies upon Buyer’s written request. Compliance by Seller with insurance requirements does not in any way affect Seller’s indemnification obligations. Seller is solely responsible for assessing the adequacy of its insurance, and Buyer in no way represents that the limits specified above are adequate to protect Seller’s interests. In the event that Seller utilizes subcontractors, Seller shall require each subcontractor to maintain its separate insurance complying with the terms hereof.\n15. Country of Origin; Related Requirements. Seller hereby warrants that all of the Goods specified in the Order are of U.S. origin, within the meaning of the customs laws of the United States, as presently interpreted by the U.S. Customs Service, unless before the time it supplies any Goods Seller notifies Buyer in writing of a different country of origin, in which case, it shall give full details regarding such country of origin. Upon Seller’s notification of a different country of origin, Buyer may either reject or accept the Goods by written instruction. If Seller supplies Goods of foreign origin under the Order and fails to notify Buyer in writing, or notifies Buyer incorrectly of the country of origin, whether through negligence or without negligence, Seller shall indemnify Buyer for all its expenses, duties, penalties, damages, including compromise or mitigated settlements, and attorney’s fees incurred by Buyer by such failure to notify or by any incorrect notification.\n16. Termination for Convenience: Buyer may terminate this Agreement and/or the performance of work under the Order in whole or in part upon written notice of termination, whereupon the Seller will promptly stop work on that date accordingly. Seller will promptly advise the Buyer of the quantities of applicable work and material on hand or purchased prior to termination and the most favorable disposition that the Seller can make thereof. Seller will comply with the Buyer’s instructions regarding transfer and disposition of title to such work and material. Within 60 days after receipt of such notice of termination, the Seller will submit all its claims resulting from the termination. Buyer will have the right to inspect all finished Goods and to audit the cost of all work in process and raw material applicable to the terminated work. Buyer will not be responsible for any items used or sold by the Seller, or the cost of any defective, damaged or destroyed work or material.

Notwithstanding the above, payments made under this clause shall not exceed the sales price specified in this Order. Payment made under this clause will constitute the Buyer’s only liability in the event this Agreement or the Order is terminated hereunder. This provision will not apply to any cancellation by the Buyer for default by the Seller or for any other cause allowed by law or under this Order.\n17. Compliance With Applicable Laws: Each Party shall comply with all applicable laws, including without limitation, government export control, and privacy and data protection laws.\n18.

Waiver: The failure of Buyer to insist, in any one or more instances, upon the performance of any of the terms, covenants, or conditions of this Agreement or to exercise any right hereunder, shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of the future performance of any such terms, covenants or conditions or the future exercise of such right, but the obligation of Seller with respect to such future performance shall continue in full force and effect.\n20. Assignment and Subcontracting: None of the sums due or to become due, nor any of the work to be performed under this Agreement shall be assigned by Seller without Buyer’s prior written consent. Buyer shall remain fully responsible for Goods or Services that are assigned or performed by any subcontractor.\n21.

Judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. Costs and expenses of the arbitration shall be borne equally by the parties unless otherwise provided by the arbitrator(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims for non-payment, fraud, or infringement of intellectual property may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction and shall not be subject to binding arbitration.", "domain": "law"}

Have you thought of filing for bankruptcy but really don’t want to due to fear? If you answered yes to either of those questions, maybe it’s time for you to avoid bankruptcy and consider a Consumer Proposal.\nWhat is a Consumer Proposal?\nIt is a legal procedure to those who are having financial difficulties, but can still afford to pay a portion of their debt. At our firm, we would put together a payment plan that works for both you and the creditors. We would then present that plan to the creditors. If and when your plan is accepted, it becomes a legal binding settlement for your debts.\nWhy would your creditors accept a Consumer Proposal and only get a portion of the full amount they are owed? A Proposal is a better option for them because even though they may not get the full amount owing, they would still receive more with this option then if you were to file for bankruptcy.\nHere are a few advantages of a Consumer Proposal:\n- You have the ability to negotiate to repay a portion of the full debt owing.\n- Interest stops accumulation effective the date you file for a Consumer Proposal.\n- The maximum repayment period is 5 years.\n- You can include debts owing to Canada Revenue for unpaid income taxes/HST.\n- You will be protected from your creditors as it is creditor and court approved.\n- The effect on your credit rating is less harsh than a bankruptcy.\n- You would not lose your home or any of your assets.\nWhen you are looking at all your options, ensure you are making the most educated decision possible.

The webinar was presented by professor emeritus James Pettigrew, Extension swine veterinarian Larry Firkins, and professor Hans Stein.\n\"This announcement is not a surprise; it has been anticipated for several months,\" Pettigrew said.\nPettigrew explained that while the FDA's approach to antibiotic use in food animals had been published previously, the new documents issued this month describe the implementation of that approach.\n\"The documents address only those antibiotics considered important in human medicine, which are all of them except the widely-used ionophores and a few others,\" Pettigrew said. \"The new rules apply only to antibiotics used in feed or drinking water.\"\nThe core of the FDA's approach includes:\n- No use of these antibiotics for production purposes (to improve growth rate or feed efficiency).\n- All uses of these antibiotics must be under veterinary oversight.\n- Disease prevention is specifically recognized as an approved judicious use of antibiotics.\nThe slides from the webinar are available as a PDF download. The archived video of the webinar is also available below:\nFor additional information see:\n- The document that describes the policy (GFI 209), published in April, 2012\n- The document that describes the implementation (GFI 213), just published\n- Description of changes in the Veterinary Feed Directive, just published\n- List of affected products\n- Questions & answers\n- Webinar slides\nContact person: Dr. James E.

Under no circumstances may they be reproduced, copied or executed without the Photographer’s prior, written consent.\nBookings for photography services shall be placed exclusively by email or telephone (using the contact details published on the Photographer’s website) or via the fotostudio.io client interface.\nWhere the Client books a shoot, he/she shall be considered to have placed a formal order and to have accepted the terms of this contract in full, unless the Photographer and the Client have agreed special terms.\nOnly this contract shall have legal force. Any other documents, such as catalogues, prospectuses, advertisements and notices, shall be nonbinding and provided for information purposes only.\nAn order shall only be confirmed upon signature of this contract (online via fotostudio.io or signed and returned to the Photographer by email) and receipt of the deposit.\nShould the Photographer not receive the deposit and the contract signed by the Client within 7 days of issuing the contract, the Photographer shall be under no obligation to provide the service or to honour the date requested by the Client.\nARTICLE 3: PRICE AND PAYMENT\nFor the photo shoot detailed in Article 1, the Photographer shall charge the agreed price, inclusive of taxes.\nTravel and/or accommodation costs may apply. Where relevant, such costs shall be included in the estimate and in the price stated above.\nWhere the Client requests additional retouches after the photographs have been processed, a fee of 20€ per retouched photo shall apply.\nA deposit of 30% may be payable in order to confirm an order. The deposit may be paid by bank transfer or online payment.\nThe Client shall pay the balance in cash on the day of the shoot. Where the Client fails to pay the balance, the Photographer shall be entitled to suspend the photo shoot, to withhold delivery of the photographs or to treat the contract as null and void pursuant to Article 9 herein, without prejudice to any compensation due by the Client for the harm caused. Final delivery of the photographs shall only take place once the order has been paid for in full.\nAny invoice not contested by registered letter within 15 calendar days of its issue date shall be deemed to have been accepted in full.\nFailure to pay an invoice by its due date shall have the following consequences, which shall apply simultaneously, automatically and without formal notice: all other invoices issued and not yet due shall immediately become due, late-payment interest shall be charged at a rate of 10% per annum, and a fixed charge shall be applied by way of compensation to cover administrative costs, calculated as follows:\n- Less than 4,000€: 10% of the outstanding principal\n- 4,000€ or more but less than 12,500€: 7.5% of the outstanding principal\n- Between 12,500€ and 25,000€: 5% of the outstanding principal.\nWhere the invoice remains unpaid, the Photographer shall be entitled to terminate the contract and any other contract with the same Client, with all consequences of termination to be borne by the Client. The Photographer shall also be entitled to compensation for the harm caused by the termination in addition to the penalties set out above.\nWhere the Client is a consumer, he/she may claim the compensation and interest set out in this clause in the event that the Photographer fails to fulfill his/her obligations.\nARTICLE 4: PERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICE\nThe photographs shall be taken by the Photographer or, in the case of a force majeure event as provided for in Article 10, by any other Photographer appointed with the Client’s agreement.\nThe Photographer shall not be bound by a performance obligation, but shall use his best endeavours to provide high-quality photographs appropriate to the purpose stated in Article 1 and in accordance with his artistic judgement. Consequently, the Client cannot reject the photographs on grounds of taste.\nIf the Client wishes to change any aspect of the photography service, he/she shall send the request to the Photographer by text message or email no later than 7 days before the scheduled date of the shoot. Any requests sent after this date cannot be accommodated. Only changes approved by the Photographer in writing shall be accepted.\nThe shoot must start at the agreed time. If the Client is late, the shoot may be curtailed accordingly. Should the Client be more than 30 minutes late, the shoot shall be cancelled and the deposit withheld.\nThe Client hereby declares that he/she is legally an adult and is posing for the photographs of his/her own free will. Where applicable, the Client authorises the Photographer to take photographs of his/her children in their preferred photographic style.\nThe Photographer must not be obstructed from carrying out his work during the shoot by amateur photographers. Any children present at the photo shoot shall remain under the sole responsibility of their parents.\nIn the event that the Client, a child or any other person in the studio causes damage to equipment, the Photographer shall be entitled to reclaim the cost of such damage in full.\nARTICLE 5: POST-PROCESSING\nUnder no circumstances shall the Photographer deliver unprocessed photographs. Post-processing, like the shoot itself, is specific to the Photographer and an integral part of his work, style and artistic sensitivities. The Photographer shall therefore exercise exclusive discretion over the post-processing phase. The parties shall only be permitted to use the photographs processed by the Photographer.\nThe Photographer reserves the right to accept or refuse additional retouch requests from the Client, and to charge an additional fee for the extra work involved at the price stated in Article 1.\nARTICLE 6: DELIVERY\nThe Photographer shall make every effort to deliver the photographs as quickly as possible (within one month).\nThe selected and retouched photographs shall be sent to the Client via a download link or via a private, password-protected gallery or any other mean agreed upon with the Client. The electronic files shall be delivered in JPEG format. All other files shall remain the property of the Photographer and shall not be handed over to the Client.\nOnce the files have been delivered to the Client, the Client shall be solely responsible for storing and archiving the photographs. The Client is therefore advised to make back-up copies on various media.\nARTICLE 7: LEAD TIMES\nThe lead times stated in the estimate and in this contract are expressed in business days and provided for information purposes only. The Client shall under no circumstances be entitled to compensation or have the right to break the contract should delays occur.\nWhere a lead time is imperative, it must be clearly specified as such prior to signature of the contract. In such an event, where delivery of the photographs is delayed, the Client shall send a registered letter. Where such letter goes unheeded for 15 days, the Client may then claim compensation, up to a maximum of 10% of the total price of the order, provided that he/she can produce evidence of the harm occasioned by late delivery of the photographs. Even in such circumstances, the agreed lead times shall not be binding on the Photographer where the delay is caused by a force majeure event (see Article 10), where the Client fails to adhere to the payment terms, or where the Client requests changes during performance of the order.\nARTICLE 8: DISCLAIMER\nThe Photographer cannot be held liable for non-performance or part-performance of the outdoor services, as initially agreed in the order and indicated in Article 1, for reasons relating to inclement weather such as stormy conditions or heavy rain. No refund shall be due in such circumstances, but the session may be postponed to a later date by mutual agreement.\nWhere a technical problem affecting the photography equipment or an accident occurring during performance of the service prevents the Photographer from delivering the requested work, the Client shall be entitled to a refund of the full price. No additional compensation, of whatever nature, shall be due.\nWhere the photographs are lost or damaged prior to delivery (due to theft, fire, etc.), the Client shall only be entitled to a refund of the price of the service.\nWhere the electronic files are lost or damaged after delivery to the Client, the Photographer shall bear no liability. The files shall, however, remain available for 3 months from delivery and may be re-sent during this period if necessary.\nARTICLE 9: TERMINATION FOR BREACH\nWhere the Client breaches his/her obligations, the Photographer shall issue a formal notice. Where such notice remains unheeded for 30 days, the Photographer may terminate the contact automatically and claim compensation for all harm occasioned.\nWhere the Client cancels the photography service after the cooling-off period has expired, the contract shall be terminated automatically and the Client shall bear the consequences thereof, including payment of compensation amounting to at least 30% of the total price of the order (deposit), except where the cancellation is due to a force majeure event affecting the Client.\nWhere the Client is a consumer, the same rights shall apply reciprocally between the Client and the Photographer, and according to the same procedures.\nARTICLE 10: FORCE MAJEURE\nWhere an event beyond the control of the Photographer (illness, accident, death of a relative, etc.) or any force majeure event (strike, lock-out, war, riot, etc.) renders it impossible to perform the contract according to the initially agreed terms, the Photographer cannot be held liable for any resulting delay, and shall be entitled to postpone performance of the photography service or to terminate the contract by registered letter without having to pay compensation.\nWhere the Client is a consumer, he/she shall enjoy the same right under the same conditions.\nIn such an event, the Photographer shall make every effort to postpone the shoot to a future date set by mutual agreement with the Client or, for a wedding photography service, to find another photographer who is available to perform the service.\nLastly, if the photo shoot is not postponed but cancelled due to a force majeure event affecting the Photographer, the Client shall be entitled to a full refund without delay.\nARTICLE 11: INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY\nPhotographs taken by the Photographer during a shoot with the Client shall be copyright-protected. In consideration for payment of the price stated under Article 1, the Photographer shall transfer to the Client the following rights in the commissioned photographs: the right to print and reproduce the photographs, for private purposes and on a worldwide basis, for the duration of the copyright protection period.\nThe Client shall obtain the Photographer’s prior, written consent before using the photographs for any other purpose. The Client may not use the images from the shoot for commercial purposes without the Photographer’s prior, written consent.\nThe photographs shall remain the Photographer’s intellectual property, and shall not become copyright-free, even after delivery of the electronic files. The Client shall credit the Photographer in any and all situations where the photographs are used for personal purposes (publication online, exhibition, etc.). Similarly, the Client may not modify the photographs without the Photographer’s prior, written consent.\nARTICLE 12: IMAGE RIGHTS\nThe Photographer reserves the right to use the photographs that he has taken for the purpose of promoting his business (website, social media, exhibitions, etc.). The Client gives his/her consent to such use by signing this contract.\nWhere the Client specifically withholds consent for such use in writing, he/she cannot prevent the Photographer from using photographs in which he/she cannot be recognised or that he/she has published online or on social media.\nARTICLE 13: PERSONAL DATA\nThe Photographer shall process the personal information and contact details as received from the Client. The purposes of the processing shall be to perform this contract, to manage the Photographer’s clients including tracking bookings in order to guarantee proper performance of the ordered service, and to maintain accounting records. The lawful bases for the processing are performance of the contract and compliance with legal and statutory obligations. The controller is the Photographer.\nThe above-mentioned personal data shall be processed in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and shall only be shared with clients and/or third parties on a strictly necessary basis in line with the above-mentioned purposes of the processing. The Client shall be responsible for ensuring that the personal data provided to the Photographer is accurate and up to date.\nThe Client hereby confirms that he/she has received adequate information about the processing of his/her personal data and about his/her right of access, right to rectification, right to erasure and right to object. In accordance with Article 7 (3) of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to withdraw their consent at any time. Where consent is withdrawn in this way, the Photographer shall refrain from any further processing of the data.\nWithdrawal of consent shall have no bearing on the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of that consent before it was withdrawn.\nARTICLE 14: COOLING-OFF PERIOD\nWhere the Client is a consumer, he/she shall be entitled to withdraw from this contract, where entered into remotely, within 14 days and without having to give a reason for his/her withdrawal. This right shall not apply if the photography service has been provided in full with the Client’s agreement and on the understanding that the Client will lose his/her right to withdraw within the cooling-off period if the Photographer has fulfilled the contract in its entirety.\nIn order to exercise this right under the cooling-off period, the Client shall notify the Photographer of his/her intent to withdraw from this contract by any unambiguous means (e.g. by post or email). To be entitled to withdraw under the cooling-off period, the Client must merely serve the notice of intent to withdraw before the period expires.\nThe Photographer shall refund the deposit to the Client within 14 days of receipt of the notice of intent to withdraw from this contract, via the same payment method as used for the initial transaction.\nARTICLE 15: FINAL PROVISIONS\nFor the purposes of this contract, the Client shall be considered a “consumer” if he/she is an individual acting for purposes which are outside his/her trade, business, craft or profession.\nWhere any of the above provisions is declared null and void, the remainder of this contract shall remain valid. In such an event, the parties shall renegotiate a valid clause to replace the clause declared null and void.\nThis contract is governed by the law of the country in which the Photographer is established or, if the Client is a consumer, in which the Client resides.\nAny disputes arising in connection with the performance or interpretation of this contract shall be referred to the courts having jurisdiction over the country in which the Photographer’s business is established or, if the Client is a consumer, in which the Client resides.", "domain": "law"}

In that role, Commissioner Strickland oversaw DEP’s environmental planning, analysis, permitting, policy, and enforcement programs, and was charged with importing sustainability principles to build on PlaNYC, Mayor Bloomberg's sustainability blueprint for New York City. He was the principal leader of DEP’s plans to shift combined sewer overflow controls to green infrastructure in its consent orders and long term control plans, to structure a program to address stormwater in its separated sewer system, and to adopt heating oil regulations that will remove more pollutants than are emitted by all of the trucks and cars in the city and save hundreds of lives each year.

Working with the Salvation Army and U.S. Vets, Pregerson has overseen the construction of shelters, transitional housing, and child development centers throughout Los Angeles. Judge Pregerson continues to work closely with these facilities, which provide shelter, treatment, training, and hope for thousands of homeless men, women, and children.\nJudge Harry Pregerson was born and raised in East Los Angeles. He graduated from Belvedere Junior High School in 1938 and from Roosevelt High School in 1941 where he was elected Student Body President. He enrolled at UCLA, and joined the Navy NROTC Program and served in the Marine Corps during World War II. In May 1945 during the Battle of Okinawa he sustained severe gunshot wounds through both thighs. In 1947 he attended UC Berkeley Law School on the GI Bill, graduating in 1950. Pregerson practiced law in Van Nuys, where he and his wife, Bern, a microbiology professor at Pierce College, raised their two children, U.S. District Judge Dean Pregerson and dermatologist Dr. Katie Rodan.\nJudge Pregerson has served on the state and federal bench for over 50 years. Governor Pat Brown appointed him to the L.A. Municipal Court in 1965, then to the Superior Court in 1966. In 1967, President Lyndon Johnson appointed Pregerson to the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. President Jimmy Carter elevated him to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in 1979.\nJudge Pregerson has dedicated much of his life to helping under-served members of our society. As a district judge, he structured a consent decree that created thousands of affordable housing units for those displaced by the I-105 Century Freeway. The Century Housing program also created training and employment programs for women and minorities and established child care centers to serve the local population. The interchange of the 110 and 105 freeways was named the “Judge Harry Pregerson Interchange” in recognition of his service.\nJudge Pregerson later played a key role in protecting public health when he ordered the City of Los Angeles to stop dumping sewage sludge into Santa Monica Bay. He ordered full secondary treatment for all wastewater, and was affectionately dubbed the “Sludge Judge” for his efforts to modernize the Hyperion Treatment Plant.

The Gaming Commission asked EA to remove loot boxes from its video games but the company is reportedly refusing to remove loot boxes from FIFA 18 and FIFA 19. Both games feature random card packs that are considered loot boxes in this case.\nIn April, when the BGC finished Belgium Officially Declares Loot Boxes Gambling And Illegal, EA was one of the companies mentioned as being in violation – specifically, its Ultimate Team card packs in FIFA 18 and upcoming release 19. Unlike other companies called out by Belgium, EA has not pulled these from 18, nor has it given any indication it will do so for FIFA 19.\nAs reported (and run through Google Translate) by the Dutch outlet Nieuwsblad, EA is currently under criminal investigation by the Brussels public prosecutor’s office (by request of the BGC) due to its refusal to remove these loot boxes from its games.\nAs the story notes, there’s no new law on the books; rather, loot boxes in games are being counted as part of already established gambling laws. Naturally, EA will argue that their packs for FIFA 18 and 19 are not gambling, which probably comes as much of a “surprise” to them as it did to Blizzard with Heroes of the Storm and Overwatch.\nThe difference is that Blizzard complied with the commission while still arguing its point — a decision that, in the short term, will cost the company money but at least ensure that it complies with local law. EA apparently isn’t willing to forgo that income, or at least seems to think it has a stronger case, and is willing to risk legal sanctions to prove its point.\nBased on past statements (such as CEO Andrew Wilson’s assertion in May), it appears EA is ready and waiting for a legal battle. The BGC determined that loot boxes fell under an existing gambling law, but a court challenge could reverse that decision. In that case, BGC general director Peter Naessens told Nieuwsblad that the commission will pursue efforts to change the law so that loot boxes are included again.", "domain": "law"}

The book provides practical advice on how to approach key relationships with the internet buying consumer and other online media providers.

Even if the father is in the picture, she may choose not to reveal his name. She can now constitutionally have full custody of her child. The petitioner was a government official and she filed the writ petition in the Supreme Court in 2011 after the Delhi High Court did not allow her to file for a guardianship petition without taking the father’s consent. Her plea in front of the Apex Court was that she barely lived with the father for two months and that he wasn’t even aware of the child’s existence. It is already well known through statutes like The Guardians and Wards Act 1890 and The Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act 1950 that a notice has to be sent to the child’s father so that he gives his consent before a plea for guardianship is moved. The petitioner argued in this case that if the passport application form does not require identification of the father, why is it necessary to make an exception of such a kind in guardianship cases. The bench which addressed the main issue raised in this case comprised of Justices Vikramjit Sen and Abhay Manohar Sapre. They decided the case by saying that there is no need to insist on the father’s name and if it is an unwed mother’s case, then her name is sufficient for the purposes of guardianship. The apex court thus, quashed the orders of the lower courts (Trial Court and High Court) to reach this conclusion. Hence, a father’s consent is no more required if an unwed mother wants to become her child’s legal guardian. The Apex Court in it’s judgment also remarked that the lower courts did not really take into account the welfare of the child while deciding the case, which should have been of utmost importance. The SC has now sent the entire matter to the Trial Court and said that the father’s consent is not required while deciding guardianship cases. The Supreme Court, through this judgment, has clearly proclaimed the fact that the times are changing and they are certainly in tune with these changing times. This precedent has been considered to be a great move by a lot of activists. ————–\nAbout the Author: This article is contributed by Sayesha Bhattacharya, our intern.", "domain": "law"}

For example, many believe that medical debt vanishes after seven years. While medical debt may be easier to manage than other types of debt, it will not necessarily go away entirely after seven years and could still negatively impact your credit report.\nThe 7-year figure does come from somewhere\nHowever, under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, most negative information must be removed from your credit report after seven years. This includes bankruptcies, foreclosures, and late payments. So, if you have unpaid medical bills that are more than seven years old, they will no longer appear on your credit report.\nWhile this may seem like good news, it’s important to understand that unpaid medical debt can still have a major impact on your finances. This is because medical debt is often sold to collection agencies. So, even if the original debt is more than seven years old, the collection agency may still report it to the credit bureaus.\nThis means that the debt could still show up on your credit report and impact your credit score. Additionally, collection agencies can continue to try to collect on the debt, even if it’s more than seven years old. So, while medical debt may not have the same negative impact on your credit report as other types of debt.\nStatutes of limitations on debt collection by state\nIt’s important to note that each state has its own laws regarding the statute of limitations on debt collection. This is the amount of time a creditor or collection agency has to sue you for an unpaid debt. Once the statute of limitations expires, the creditor or collection agency can no longer sue you for the debt.\nHowever, this does not mean that the debt is no longer owed. It just means that the creditor or collection agency can no longer take legal action to collect the debt. So, even if the statute of limitations has expired, you may still be responsible for paying back the debt.\nDealing with medical debt\nIf you’re dealing with medical debt, there are a few things you can do to make it more manageable.\nFirst, you should try to negotiate with the medical provider. Many providers are willing to work out a payment plan or even reduce the amount of the bill.\nYou can also contact the collection agency and try to negotiate a payment plan. Keep in mind that collection agencies may be more willing to negotiate if you offer to pay a lump sum or make regular payments over time.\nFinally, you can consider using a medical debt consolidation loan to pay off the debt.

If you are searching for a lawyer to handle your family law issue, you are likely going through one of the most difficult periods of your life and the stakes are high – your family, your children, your property. You are worried about a million things and either you have told no one and are facing this alone or you are getting conflicting advice that is only adding to your anxiety.\nMy job as I see it is to reduce your anxiety by allowing you to feel like you don’t need to have all the answers. (In truth, most people don’t even have all the questions.) Although every divorce, every child custody case, every parenting time issue or support issue is unique, they all share some characteristics and there is a process to each that I have navigated before. I cannot promise an outcome, but I do promise that I will proceed in a manner that is intended to dial down the drama and promote a healthy forever after.\nBoth full and limited scope representation.\nI am a certified mediator and can work with both represented and unrepresented parties to reach a resolution to their issue(s).\nFor situations that call for guidance and/or legal expertise but not necessarily representation.\nI have been licensed to practice law since 1994. I am a divorced mother of two wonderful adult children who were not adults in 1994, so I chose to be in private practice where I could manage/juggle my schedule as I thought best.\n-1994 Juris Doctor, Detroit College of Law, graduated cum laude\n-1981 Bachelor of Arts, University of Michigan\nThey are both men and women. The legal system is designed to be gender neutral but the reality is that men and women typically face different challenges in their journey. I have no gender preference. I am equally eager to assist both men and women so long as they are seeking to pursue a course of action marked by civility and fairness. Above all else, if children are involved, my client’s priority is doing what is best for the children.\nIt is critical to select the right family law attorney for you. You want a lawyer that is knowledgeable, experienced and practices with integrity. You also want a lawyer that is accessible – not just geographically, but personally available to talk to when the need arises. Mostly, you want a lawyer that hears you. It is not enough for your lawyer to listen to you; your lawyer needs to really hear you, so that he/she can advocate for what is important to YOU.", "domain": "law"}

The common elements can range from a driveway to shared water, basically anything the parties would like to include in the sharing. Think of it as a horizontal condo versus the vertical ones we’re so familiar with around our islands.\n0 Kai Poi Place, Peahi- Haiku\nA perfect example of the opportunities presented by a Maui CPR property are seen with 0 Kai Poi Place in the Peahi area of Haiku on Maui’s North Shore.\n0 Kai Poi Place is located on Opana Point in Haiku, Maui. The property has been divided into (A) MLS#383358 ($699,000) & (B) MLS#383359 ($499,000)\nProperty Features: It’s Powered by Nature! Clifftop & Oceanfront, Stunning Panoramic Views, Rare Opportunity, Paved & Fenced, Grated & Level Land, Access Roads, Private Water & Ag Zoned. Ready to Build…\nUnit A is a 6.986-acre parcel and Unit B, a 2.91-acre parcel. Although the 10+ acre property has been divided (CPR’ed), it’s still possible to buy together.\nBoth 0 Kai Poi Place parcels offer so much. Without a doubt, prospective new owners will enjoy freedom, peace, fresh air, privacy, serenity, always changing island views, magical sunrises, sunsets, and starry nights.\nThe documentation for CPR‘s are exactly the same as those condos you see in Kihei or Waikiki, which include House Rules, survey, financial obligations, voting rights and any other owner instructions. The best part of a CPR is that it allows a property owner to divide their property, and sell off identified portions to make additional money.\nThe property can be with or without buildings, and it doesn’t alter the zoning or permitted use of that specific zoning of the property.\nA bit of fun facts…\nIn fact, Hawaii was the first State in the United State to CPR. This is how it started. During the 1960s, lawmakers established a way to sell air space above a particular piece of land. A great example would be the apartment high-rises that are typically seen on Oahu in Waikiki and Honolulu. This was originally called Horizontal Property Regime (HPR); which has now translated to Condominium Property Regime (CPR).\nFor more information about CPR, consult with a top Maui real estate professional, or a Maui CPR attorney.", "domain": "law"}

The Federal Trade Commission and the States have authority to enforce the new statute and online marketplaces that run afoul of the law could be subject to steep financial penalties. Is your business covered by the INFORM Consumers Act? If so, you’ll want to keep reading.\nWhat does the INFORM Consumers Act require? Under the new law, “online marketplaces” (a phrase the statute defines) where “high-volume third party sellers” (another defined term) offer new or unused consumer products must collect, verify, and disclose certain information about those sellers. Violations could result in civil penalties of $50,120 per violation for online marketplaces.\nWhat’s the purpose of the law? When consumers buy products from online marketplaces, the identity of the seller is often unclear. The goal of the INFORM Consumers Act is to add more transparency to online transactions and to deter criminals from acquiring stolen, counterfeit, or unsafe items and selling them through those marketplaces. The Act also makes sure online marketplace users have a way to report suspicious conduct concerning high-volume third party sellers.\nHow does the law define an “online marketplace”? You’ll want to check the specific wording of the statute, but in general, an “online marketplace” is a person or business that operates a consumer-directed platform that allows third party sellers to engage in the “sale, purchase, payment, storage, shipping, or delivery of a consumer product in the United States.” The law takes the meaning of “consumer product” from the Magnuson-Moss Act, which defines the term as “tangible personal property for sale and that is normally used for personal, family, or household purposes.” The online marketplace also must have a contractual or similar relationship with consumers governing their use of the platform to buy products. Many of the companies that meet the definition of “online marketplace” are national names, but smaller niche platforms with “high-volume third party sellers” are covered, too.\nHow does the law define ‘‘high-volume third party seller’’? Again, you’ll want to check the specific wording of the statute, but in general, a ‘‘high-volume third party seller’’ is a seller in an online marketplace that, in any continuous 12-month period during the past 24 months, has had on that platform 200 or more separate sales or transactions of new or unused consumer products, and $5,000 or more in gross revenues. In calculating the number of sales or amount of gross revenues for the “high-volume” threshold on a given online marketplace, the only sales that count are ones made though that online marketplace and for which payment was processed by the online marketplace, either directly or through its payment processor. The law specifically exempts businesses that have made their name, business address, and contact information available to the general public; that have a contractual relationship with the marketplace to manufacture, distribute, wholesale, or fulfill shipments of consumer products; and that provide the marketplace with identifying information that the marketplace has verified. The law also exempts from the definition of ‘‘high-volume third party seller’’ the online marketplace itself.\nIf a business meets the definition of an “online marketplace,” what does the INFORM Consumers Act require it to do? Here are the general legal requirements for online marketplaces, with more specific compliance responsibilities addressed in other Q&As:\nCollection. Online marketplaces must collect bank account information, contact information, and a Tax ID number from high-volume third party sellers.\nVerification. Online marketplaces must verify the information they get from high-volume third party sellers. They also must require sellers to keep their information current and to certify it as accurate at least once a year.\nDisclosure. For high-volume third party sellers that meet a certain level of sales on a platform, online marketplaces must disclose in the sellers’ product listings or order confirmations specific information about the seller.\nSuspension of non-compliant sellers. Online marketplaces must suspend high-volume third party sellers that don’t provide information the law requires.\nReporting mechanism. Online marketplaces must provide on high-volume third party sellers’ product listings a clear way for consumers to report suspicious conduct.\nWhat kinds of information must an online marketplace collect? Timing is important here. Once a person or business meets the definition of a “high-volume third party seller,” the online marketplace has 10 days to collect the following information from them:\n- Bank account information. The online marketplace must collect the seller’s bank account number, or, if the seller doesn’t have a bank account, the name of the payee for payments the online marketplace issues to the seller. The seller may provide that information either directly to the online marketplace or to a payment processor or other third party designated by the online marketplace.\n- Tax ID information. The online marketplace must collect a high-volume third party seller’s business tax identification number – or if the seller doesn’t have one, a taxpayer identification number.\n- Contact information. If a high-volume third party seller is an individual, the online marketplace must get the person’s name and a working email address and phone number. For legal entities, corporations, partnerships, etc., that are high-volume third party sellers, the online marketplace must collect a working email address and phone number and one of the following forms of ID: a copy of a valid government-issued identification for an individual acting on behalf of the seller or a copy of a valid government-issued record or tax document that includes the business name and physical address of the seller.\nWhat must an online marketplace do to verify the information it collects? Once a high-volume third party seller provides its banking account, contact, and tax ID information, online marketplaces have 10 days to verify the information. Although the law doesn’t list specific verification steps, the methods the online marketplace chooses must enable it “to reliably determine that any information and documents provided are valid, corresponding to the seller or an individual acting on the seller’s behalf, not misappropriated, and not falsified.” The law also includes a “presumption of verification” that any information contained in a valid government-issued tax document can be presumed verified as of the date of the document. In addition, online marketplaces must keep information from high-volume third party sellers current. At least once a year, the marketplace must require the seller to electronically certify that its information hasn’t changed or that it has provided the marketplace with updated information.\nWhat kinds of disclosures must an online marketplace make? If a high-volume third party seller has annual gross revenues of $20,000 or more on a particular online marketplace, the marketplace must clearly disclose the following information on each of the seller’s product listing pages, or in order confirmation messages and account transaction histories on that platform:\n- the seller’s full name, which may include the business name or the name the seller uses on the online marketplace;\n- the seller’s physical address; and\n- contact information that will allow consumers to have what the law calls “direct, unhindered communication” with the seller, including a working phone number, a working email address, or other means of direct electronic messaging that may be provided by the marketplace – as long as that other means doesn’t prevent the online marketplace from monitoring communications with consumers for fraud, abuse, or spam.\nIf the listing includes a physical address for product returns, that’s sufficient under this part of the law. Furthermore, if the seller used a different business to supply the product a consumer bought, the online marketplace must, at the consumer’s request, provide the name, address, and contact information for that business.\nThe law includes a limited exception for high-volume third party sellers that operate only out of their homes. In that case, the online marketplace must disclose the country and, if applicable, the state where the seller lives and provide consumers with a phone number, email address, or other means of electronic messaging where consumers can contact the seller. If the seller’s only phone number is a personal phone, the online marketplace must provide an email address or other form of electronic messaging where consumers can contact the seller. Online marketplaces may have to suspend high volume third-party sellers if they make false statements in an effort to qualify for that limited exception or if the sellers don’t respond to consumers within what the law calls a “reasonable time frame.”\nHow must online marketplaces respond to sellers’ non-compliance? As a preliminary matter, on the product listing page of any high-volume third party seller, the online marketplace must clearly and conspicuously include both a phone number and an electronic way for consumers to contact the marketplace to report suspicious activity. Furthermore, if a high-volume third party seller doesn’t provide to the online marketplace the information the marketplace needs to comply with the law, the marketplace must give the seller written or electronic notice of non-compliance. If the seller doesn’t provide the information within 10 days, the marketplace must “suspend any future sales activity” of the seller until the seller complies with the requirements of the law.\nDoes the INFORM Consumer Act require online marketplaces to implement privacy and security safeguards? Yes. To protect the information they’re required to collect from unauthorized use, disclosure, access, destruction, or modification, the law requires that online marketplaces “implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices.” That includes putting administrative, physical, and technical safeguards in place that are appropriate to the nature of the data and the purposes for which the data is used. What’s more, data collected solely to comply with the INFORM Consumers Act “may not be used for any other purpose unless required by law.”\nWhat are the consequences for violating the INFORM Consumers Act? A violation of the law is treated as a violation of an FTC rule. So online marketplaces that don’t comply may face FTC law enforcement that could result in civil penalties of $50,120 per violation. The statute also gives enforcement authority to State Attorneys General and other officials authorized by the State. They may file an action in federal court to enjoin further law violation, seek civil penalties and other remedies permitted under state law, and obtain damages, restitution, or other compensation for residents of that state.\nWhat should I do if I suspect a violation of the INFORM Consumer Act?

From 1973-96, FDI flows multiplied fourteen\ntimes from $ 25 billion to $ 350 billion per annum, outstripping\ngrowth in international trade.\nGovernments welcome FDI as a source of capital and innovation and as a\nmeans to promote competition and economic efficiency. Businesses of\nall sizes expand across national boundaries in search of new markets\nand creative partnerships. Consumers benefit from increased quality,\nwider choice and lower prices on the goods and services they buy.\nA recent Government of Canada study shows that for every C$1billion of\nforeign investment in that country, 45 000 new jobs are created\noverfive years. According to the New Zealand Government, foreign\ninvestors in New Zealand reinvest 90% of their profits, employ New\nZealanders in over 99% of the positions they create and pay New\nZealanders on average 28% more than domestic firms.\nA World Trade Organisation's study reports that \"low levels of trade\nand inflows of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) are symptoms rather\nthan causes of the plight of many of the poorest countries. Without an\nincreased inflow of FDI in these countries and increased trade, it is\ndifficult to imagine how a major improvement in their economic\nprospects can be achieved. FDI brings with it resources that are in\ncritically short supply in poor countries, including capital,\ntechnology and such intangible resources as organisational, managerial\nand marketing skills\".\nWhy do we need a multilateral agreement on investment?\nThe importance of the existing multi-lateral agreements on trade in\ngoods (GATT) and trade in services (GATS) is widely recognized. The\ntime has come for similar rules on investment in the form of a\nmultilateral agreement on investment.\nWhile markets are, of course, the main reason for investment\ndecisions, the investment climate is also a major factor\nindecision-making. Investors need long-term stability of rules and\nprocedures. They need open markets and equal competitive opportunities\nwith domestic investors. They also need protection of existing\ninvestments and an international mechanism for settling disputes with\nGovernments recognize that a liberal investment regime is critical to\nattracting foreign investment. They also appreciate that restrictions\nand discriminatory measures distort investment flows with detrimental\neffects on economic development and efficiency, and create a potential\nsource of international friction.\nTo date, international cooperation has relied mainly on a growing\nnetwork of some 1630 bilateral investment treaties, regional\nagreements such as NAFTA and the investment co-operation instruments\nHowever, the bilateral approach is less than ideal in a rapidly\nintegrating world economy and bilateral investment agreements do not\nexist between many of the OECD countries. The scope of the\nMultilateral Agreement on Investment (MAI) will be larger than that of\nbilateral treaties. For example, most BITs are limited to the\nprotection of investments after they are made. The MAI will also cover\nthe pre-establishment phase, that is the making of the investment.\nRegional agreements are necessarily partial in their\ngeographiccoverage. The OECD instruments - the Codes of Liberalisation\nand the Declaration and Decisions on International Investment and\nMultinational Enterprises - offer a systematic multilateral approach\nto investment, but these instruments are not all binding or\ncomprehensive and they lack effective dispute settlement procedures.\nGlobalisation is increasing every day. It calls for enhanced\ninternational co-operation for the world economy to be better\norganised and the efficiency and equity of the markets to be\nprotected. The usefulness of the GATT is now generally recognised. The\ntime has come for a multilateral agreement on investment.\nWhy is the MAI being developed at the OECD?\nOECD Members have a major stake in investment rules, accounting for 85\nper cent of FDI outflows and 60 per cent of inflows.\nOECD Members share a common view of the benefits of free investment\nflows and the need for more comprehensive and effective investment\nExperience with the existing OECD investment instruments the Codes of\nLiberalisation and Declaration and Decisions on International\nInvestment and Multinational Enterprises provided a solid starting\npoint for negotiation of the MAI.\nThe broad range of OECD activities, including labour and the\nenvironment, offered important additional sources of support for the\nDevelopment of the MAI by the OECD complements the work of other major\nrule-making bodies for international trade and finance: the World\nTrade Organisation and the International Monetary Fund.\nScope of the MAI\nThe MAI will be a comprehensive investment agreement, aiming to cover\nall economic sectors.\n\"Investment\" in the MAI will be defined broadly to include direct\ninvestments, portfolio investments, real estate investments and rights\nThe MAI will provide legal guarantees for both the investment itself\nand the making of an investment while most bilateral treaties are\nlimited to the protection of investments after they are made.\nThe MAI aims to cover \"measures\" taken at all levels of government:\ncentral, federal, state, provincial and local. \"Measures\" will include\nlaws, regulations and administrative practices.\nHow are investments and investors protected by the Multilateral Agreement on\nThe core concept of the MAI is non-discrimination:\n* The MAI Parties will commit themselves to treat foreign investors\nand their investments no less favourably than they treat their own\ninvestors (\"National Treatment\").\n* They will also agree not to discriminate among the investors or\ninvestments of different MAI Parties (\"Most-Favoured-Nation\nOther important provisions include:\n* Transparency: Laws, regulations and procedures of general\napplication must be made publicly available.\n* Transfer of Funds: Investment-related payments, including capital,\nprofits and dividends, must be freely permitted to and from the\n* Entry and Stay of Key Personnel: Investors and key personnel, such\nas senior managers or specialised technicians, should be granted\npermission to enter and stay temporarily to work in support of MAI\n* Performance Requirements: Certain requirements imposed on\ninvestors, such as a minimum export target for goods or services,\nwould be prohibited.\n* Expropriation: May only be undertaken for a public purpose and\nsubject to prompt, adequate and effective compensation.\n* Dispute Resolution: While the agreement has provisions for\nresolving disputes through consultations, the agreement will\nprovide for binding arbitration of disputes, between host and home\nstates or between the investor and the host state.\nIn accepting this principle, countries agree to treat to foreign\ninvestors no less favourably than they treat their own investors. This\nalso means that they have no obligation to grant foreign investors\nmore favourable treatment.\nThese two principles apply both to investors and to the establishment,\nacquisition, expansion, oper ation, management, maintenance, use,\nenjoyment and sale and other disposition of investments.\nExceptions, Safeguards and Reservations\nMAI disciplines will not apply in situations addressed by \"general\nexceptions\" or \"temporary safeguards\" or where individual countries\nhave taken specific exceptions or reservations.\nUnder general exception provisions, any country will be able to take\nmeasures necessary to protect its national security or to ensure the\nintegrity and stability of its financial system.\nUnder temporary safeguard provisions, any country will be able to take\nmeasures necessary to respond to a balance of payments crisis.\nBy virtue of country-specific exceptions or reservations, negotiated\namong the Parties to the MAI, each country will be able to maintain\nlaws and regulations that do not conform to MAI disciplines.\nOther outstanding issues which need to be addressed include exceptions\nfor culture and regional economic integration organisations.\nMost favoured nation treatment\nAccording to this principle, once a country has accorded a given\ntreatment to a foreign investor or a foreign investment, it cannot\ngrant less favourable treatment to any other investor or investment. l\nWhat happens to environmental standards?\nMAI negotiators have recognised the importance of environmental\nconcerns and will ensure that governments keep their freedom to\nimplement policies to protect the environment, provided those policies\nare not more stringent for foreign investors than for domestic ones.\nA range of specific proposals is being considered. For example, the\nMAI preamble will likely recognize the importance of sustainable\ndevelopment. MAI negotiators are examining provisions modeled on the\nNorth American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) to make explicit the right\nof governments to maintain environmental requirements consistent with\nnational treatment and most-favoured nation treatment, and to provide\nthat MAI parties should not lower their environmental standards to\nattract foreign investment.\nMost negotiators support association of the OECD Guidelines for\nMultinational Enterprises, with its chapter on environmental matters,\nwith the MAI. Other environmental proposals may be considered.\nWhat are the implications for national sovereignty?\nThe MAI will bind countries to a set of rules governing the treatment\nof foreign investors and investments. As with all binding\ninternational agreements, this will moderate the exercise of national\nauthority to a degree. But in return for the commitment to meet the\nrules of the agreement, including the undertaking not to discriminate\nagainst foreign investors, parties to the MAI will enjoy the benefits\nof a better investment environment. This will act as an attraction for\nnew investment from abroad and provide protection for their own\ninvestors doing business in other MAI countries.\nGovernments will remain free to regulate in most fields provided the\nnon-discrimination rule is respected, and MAI rules can be set aside\nfor reasons of overriding public policy such as national security. In\naddition, non-conforming measures can be maintained if specific\nreservations or exceptions are lodged.\nHow will the Mai contribute to responsible behaviour by foreign investors?\nThe purpose of the MAI is to provide a framework for international\ninvestment. It will not immunise foreign investors from domestic laws\ngoverning corporate and individual behaviour.\nThe MAI will not remove the authority of domestic courts, tribunals\nand regulatory authorities over foreign investors and their\nenterprises. Nor will it deny access of private citizens to these\nFurthermore, the association of the OECD Guidelines for Multinational\nEnterprises will remind parties to the MAI and foreign investors of\nappropriate standards of behaviour in the conduct of business in a\nforeign country. Although voluntary, the OECD Guidelines with their\nfollow-up mechanisms, have proven effective.\nAnd labour standards?\nGovernments will be free to implement their own policies concerning\nlabour standards, as long as these standards are not more stringent\nfor foreign than domestic investors.\nMAI negotiators are discussing a provision that would specifically\ncall on MAI countries not to lower labour standards in order to\nattract foreign investment. They are also considering recognition of\nthe importance of core labour standards in the preamble.\nThe OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises has an extensive\nchapter on employment and industrial relations.\nWill the MAI be compatible with the World Trade Organisation agreements?\nYes. The MAI will be drafted to avoid conflicts with WTO agreements.\nThe objective is not to impose the MAI blueprint of investment rules\non the WTO. It will be for the WTO membership as a whole to decide\nwhat sort of disciplines it will develop in the investment area. The\nWTO Secretariat participates in the MAI negotiations as an observer.\nWhy are non-OECD countries interested in the MAI?\nNon-OECD countries have already declared their interest in the MAI.\nFive non-OECD countries - Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Hong Kong (China),\nand the Slovak Republic - have joined the negotiations as \"observers\".\nOECD outreach activities, including conferences in Brazil and Korea\nand briefings by the OECD and its Members, have received a positive\nresponse. OECD Members hope that non-OECD countries will join the MAI\nas founding members, or soon after the agreement is put in place.\nNon-OECD countries will wish to adhere to the Agreement for the same\nreasons as OECD countries, namely:\n* greater attractiveness for potential investors by providing a\nsound environment and a positive policy signal;\n* better market access opportunities and legal protection for their\n* access to the dispute settlement procedures; and\n* full partnership in implementing the agreement, through membership\nin the \"Parties Group\", and in any future negotiations.\nThe MAI will be a free-standing treaty, open to accession by non-OECD\neconomies with the same rights and obligations as OECD Members. Each\ncountry will be able to negotiate its terms of accession, including\nits own schedule of reservations.\nHow much is publicly available about the MAI negotiations?\nThe progress of the negotiations can be easily followed through the\nMAI page of OECD Internet site:\nThis page provides information on the history of the negotiations, the\nstatus of current negotiations and the issues under discussion.\nInformation is also available in printed form: free documents,\ninformation letters and articles in The OECD Observer.

For real estate developers, these laws dictate what can be built, where, and how. Yet, they are often an overlooked aspect of the property industry, dismissed as mere bureaucratic red tape. In reality, they are powerful tools that can either bolster or hamper development. Specifically, in the Greater London area, these regulations have considerable implications for real estate development.\nBefore delving into the effects of land-use regulations on real estate development, it’s crucial to understand what they are and why they exist. In a nutshell, land-use regulations are legal guidelines that control the development and use of land within a specified area. Local authorities typically administer these laws, setting out what kinds of buildings and activities are allowed in different parts of the town or city.\nThese regulations encompass various elements, including zoning laws, building codes, housing standards, and environmental protections. They are designed to ensure that development is orderly, sustainable, and harmonious, balancing the needs of residents, businesses, and the environment.\nFor example, zoning laws divide a city into different zones, each with its own set of permitted uses. A residential zone might prohibit commercial or industrial activities, while a commercial zone might restrict certain types of housing. Such laws enable a city to plan its growth strategically, preventing incompatible uses from clashing and ensuring that necessary services and amenities are easily accessed.\nA lire en complément : What Are the Benefits of Utilizing Offsite Construction Methods in Urban Real Estate?\nLand-use regulations play a significant role in housing development, influencing the type, density, and location of new homes. In the Greater London area, these rules have shaped the city’s distinctive housing landscape, characterised by its mix of historic and modern architecture, high-density flats, and suburban homes.\nRegulatory constraints on housing development can significantly affect the supply of new homes. For example, strict building codes or design standards can increase the cost of construction, making it more expensive to build new housing. Similarly, limits on building heights or density can reduce the number of homes that can be built on a given plot of land.\nOn the other hand, certain regulations can support housing development. For instance, policies that encourage higher density or mixed-use development can create opportunities for more housing. Similarly, streamlined approval processes or incentives for affordable housing can make it easier and more profitable for developers to build new homes.\nBeyond housing, land-use regulations also play a pivotal role in broader city development. They help shape the physical layout of a city, its transportation network, and the location of different types of land uses. In Greater London, these regulations have contributed to the city’s unique urban fabric, with its vibrant mix of commercial, residential, and public spaces.\nUrban planning regulations can influence real estate development in various ways. For example, policies that promote mixed-use development can create demand for different types of real estate in the same area, such as offices, shops, and homes. Transportation planning can also affect real estate, as properties near transit hubs or major roads often have higher values.\nHowever, regulations can also pose challenges for developers. For instance, requirements for public spaces or amenities can add to the cost of development. Similarly, restrictions on building design or materials can limit the flexibility of developers to respond to market trends or technological advances.\nReal estate developers in the Greater London area must navigate a complex landscape of legal and regulatory challenges. These range from planning permissions and building regulations to environmental laws and historic preservation rules.\nFailing to comply with these regulations can result in costly delays, fines, or even legal action. Therefore, understanding and navigating these regulatory hurdles is a critical part of real estate development. This often involves considerable time and resources, including hiring legal experts, architects, and planners, and engaging in extensive consultation and negotiation with local authorities.\nAt the same time, these challenges can also create opportunities for savvy developers. For example, by understanding the planning process, developers can identify opportunities for development before they are widely known, gaining a competitive edge. Similarly, by engaging proactively with local communities and authorities, developers can build support for their projects, making it easier to obtain necessary approvals.\nLondon’s unique regulatory environment adds a layer of complexity to real estate development. In addition to standard planning and building regulations, developers must also contend with additional rules designed to preserve the city’s historic character and promote sustainable development.\nFor example, London has numerous Conservation Areas where development is tightly controlled to preserve the area’s special architectural or historic interest. Additionally, the city has ambitious targets for carbon-neutral development, requiring new buildings to meet strict energy efficiency and sustainability standards.\nThese regulations can pose significant challenges for developers, adding to the cost and complexity of development. However, they also reflect London’s unique character and values, contributing to the city’s status as a global city with a rich history and a strong commitment to sustainability. These are factors that can attract investment and development, despite the regulatory hurdles.\nA key part of the land-use regulatory framework in the Greater London area is the planning system of England and Wales, which has direct implications for real estate development. The planning system embodies the principles and legislation governing land-use planning in England and Wales. For real estate developers, understanding this system is vital as it determines planning permission, land planning, and development rights.\nUnder the planning system, local planning authorities, typically the borough council in London, create a local plan that outlines how land in their area will be used. This plan takes into account various factors, including housing needs, environmental considerations, and economic growth objectives. It sets out where new homes, businesses, and infrastructure will be built and what form they should take.\nAt the heart of this process is the town and country planning system, which is designed to manage the competing demands for space and resources in towns and cities. This system also regulates building activities through planning permissions and building regulations. In essence, a planning permission is required before carrying out most forms of development, while building regulations set standards for the design and construction of buildings to ensure the health and safety of people in or around them.\nThe planning system also includes provisions for energy efficiency and sustainability as part of its strategy to combat climate change. In line with this, the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive requires new buildings to meet certain energy performance standards.\nLand-use regulations play a pivotal role in shaping the real estate landscape in the Greater London area. They present both challenges and opportunities for developers, affecting everything from house prices to the aesthetics of buildings. At their core, these regulations aim to balance the diverse needs of residents, businesses, and the environment, ensuring the orderly and sustainable development of the city.\nNavigating this complex regulatory environment requires a deep understanding of legal and regulatory frameworks, from the planning system of England and Wales to local planning and zoning plans. It also requires the ability to work within these constraints, finding creative solutions that meet regulatory standards while also delivering profitable and attractive developments.\nDespite the challenges, these regulations contribute to the unique character and appeal of London. They have helped to preserve the city’s historic charm while also driving forward its commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency. As such, they are an integral part of London’s status as a leading global city, attracting investment and development from around the world.\nIn conclusion, while land-use regulations may add to the complexity of real estate development in Greater London, they are also a powerful tool for shaping the city’s future. By understanding and working with these regulations, developers can contribute to the ongoing evolution of this dynamic and vibrant city.", "domain": "law"}

The new law does not recognize the presence or right of residence of its Palestinian native population, including its Muslim and Christian Palestinian citizens who constitute 20 percent of the nation’s population. Israel enshrined the religious and racial supremacy of its Jewish nationals as a constitutional principle making its discriminatory regime unequivocally explicit. Even after this development, the international community hesitated to declare Israel’s legal system as tantamount to Apartheid and dubbed the new law as merely “controversial.” This lecture will explore the historical legacy of understanding the Palestinian struggle as a racial question and consider how recent renewals of Black Palestinian solidarity implicate the future of this struggle.\nNoura Erakat is a human rights attorney and an Assistant Professor at George Mason University. Her research interests include humanitarian law, refugee law, national security law, and critical race theory. She is a Co-Founding Editor of Jadaliyya e-zine and an Editorial Committee member of the Journal of Palestine Studies. Prior to joining GMU's faculty, she served as Legal Counsel for a Congressional Subcommittee in the House of Representatives, as a Legal Advocate for the Badil Resource Center for Palestinian Refugee and Residency Rights, and as the national grassroots organizer and legal advocate at the US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation. Noura is the coeditor of Aborted State? The UN Initiative and New Palestinian Junctures, an anthology related to the 2011and 2012 Palestine bids for statehood at the UN. More recently, Noura released a pedagogical project on the Gaza Strip and Palestine, which includes a short multimedia documentary, Gaza In Context, that rehabilitates Israel’s wars on Gaza within a settler-colonial framework.

There have been calls for this legal time limit to be reduced, but ARC will always defend it being maintained at 24 weeks.\n- Despite the better provision of first trimester antenatal screening tests, it is important not to assume this means that all parents can opt for earlier terminations of pregnancy in the context of fetal anomaly. In fact, many fetal anomalies (around 40%) first become apparent at the mid-pregnancy fetal anomaly ultrasound scan which is scheduled between 18+0 to 20+6 weeks of pregnancy.\nIt is not possible to offer this scan earlier without compromising its effectiveness and some hospitals book women in for the scan at 22 weeks as it is felt optimal views of the developing baby can be obtained at this stage.\nWe take calls every day on our national helpline from parents who are reeling from the shock of being given unexpected news about their baby’s development at this mid-pregnancy scan, struggling to take this in and to know how to proceed. They almost always face further tests to try to establish the outlook for their baby. They then have to make the painful decision about the future of what is most often a much-wanted pregnancy. Any encroachment on the current time limits will result in added pressure on them at a time when they can least withstand it.\n- Although post-24 week abortions are permitted under certain conditions under Ground E, there has always been professional caution around sanctioning terminations of pregnancy for fetal anomaly after 24 weeks. This means when an anomaly is diagnosed after the mid-pregnancy scan, some parents are asked to make a final decision about ending their pregnancy before the end of the 24th week.In our three decades of supporting parents in the aftermath of a termination for fetal anomaly, we have learned that a major factor in the emotional recovery of parents who choose to end their pregnancy is that they can look back and feel confident that they were able to access and assimilate information about the diagnosis and the time they needed to work out the way forward that was right for them and their baby. In some cases, parents may discover over time that the outlook for their baby improves and the opportunity to delay the decision means a pregnancy may be continued to term.As the current 24-week abortion time limit appears to be seen by many clinicians as a ‘line in the sand’2, it seems safe to assume that if there were to be a reduction then this gestation would become the new reference point. The knock-on effect on parents faced with a diagnosis of fetal anomaly would be that they may have to make decisions very quickly after their scan, perhaps foregoing the opportunity to have further testing or monitoring because they fear the option of termination may be withdrawn if they delay. A reduction in the upper time limit would add an extra level of stress to an already traumatic situation.\nOur long experience tells us that parents who make the painful decision to end the pregnancy do so after careful consideration of what the diagnosis may mean for their baby’s quality of life and what it might mean for themselves and their family’s future. In order to come to the best decision they can within their individual context they need good information, compassion, support and time. We owe it to these parents not to make a distressing situation any worse and so ARC will always defend the abortion law time limit as it stands.\n2. : Lotto R, Smith LK, Armstrong N. Clinicians’ perspectives of parental decision-making following diagnosis of a severe congenital anomaly: a qualitative study. BMJ Open 2017;7:e014716. doi:10.1136/ bmjopen-2016-014716\nARC’s view on ‘Ground E’ of the Abortion Act\nSection 1 (1)(d) of the Abortion Act 1967 (commonly known as ‘Ground E’), which applies in England, Scotland and Wales, states that a pregnancy can be legally terminated if ‘two registered medical practitioners are of the opinion, formed in good faith—…that there is a substantial risk that if the child were born it would suffer from such physical or mental abnormalities as to be seriously handicapped.’\nBecause it was drafted over half a century ago the language of Ground E is outdated and insensitive. However, we know from our decades of experience of working with parents and clinicians that it is vital this law remains unchanged.\n- The real value in ‘Ground E’ lies in the fact that the way it is drafted allows for a certain amount of flexibility.The fact that two doctors must decide in good faith that what is detected in pregnancy represents ‘substantial risk’ of ‘severe handicap’, (with neither term defined) allows for careful clinical judgment by clinicians on a case by case basis, without gestational limit, depending on all of the circumstances.\n- From the close working relationships ARC has established and maintained with fetal medicine clinicians, we can attest to how seriously clinicians take their legal responsibilities, particularly in cases after 24 weeks’ pregnancy.ARC’s Director Jane Fisher is a public and patient voice member of the NHS England Clinical Reference Group for Specialised Women’s Services, the body that covers commissioning of fetal medicine services. ARC is regularly asked to speak at conferences and meetings for fetal medicine clinicians, including the British Maternal Fetal Medicine Society, the Fetal Medicine Foundation and the International Society for Prenatal Diagnosis.\n- In the last decade, there have been developments in testing technologies that enable diagnoses of many conditions to take place well before the scheduling of the major fetal anomaly scan at around 20 weeks. However, it remains the case that a significant number of fetal anomalies are not detectable until the fetal anomaly mid-pregnancy scan, or later.When a baby is found not to be developing as expected at the ’20-week scan’ there will be further testing and monitoring offered, which will bring some parents very close to or beyond the 24-week limit for most abortions. If what are currently known as Ground E terminations were to be restricted beyond 24 weeks, it would put untenable pressure on parent decision-making and is likely to mean some will decide to end the pregnancy before awaiting more information, fearing that this option may be removed.\nARC believes that removing ‘Ground E’ would be detrimental to parents faced with any late fetal anomaly diagnosis. Some serious conditions, including those affecting fetal brain development, do not appear until the third trimester of pregnancy. We hear from parents on our helpline reeling from unexpected news after attending what they believed was a routine ultrasound at 28 weeks to check the position of the placenta or to confirm that their baby was within expected growth parameters. In some cases, further investigations, including magnetic resonance imaging, will reveal serious brain anomalies which are likely to have severe impact on the child’s quality of life if born.\n- Some people believe that ‘Ground E’ is discriminatory to people living with disabilities. It is of course important that those who are in the world, living with disabilities, do not face discrimination and have access to the care and resources they need. Yet this principle can still be upheld while still retaining choice after prenatal diagnosis.Decisions women make after prenatal diagnosis, are not prejudicial against those living with disability, they are made within the context of their individual lives.It is important to say to anti-discriminatory legislation is applicable to born persons, not to the fetus or unborn baby.\nFinally, the last word must go to three women ARC supported after post 24-week terminations after a prenatal diagnosis of fetal anomaly who gave permission for their quotes to be used anonymously in support of the law remaining unchanged.\nForcing us to make a decision before the full consequences of our daughter’s abnormalities had been discovered and had been explained by both our obstetrician and a paediatrician, seems quite frankly ridiculous and unnecessary. Due to abnormalities having varying degrees of severity, doctors rightly take time in exploring the particulars of each patient. I would hate to see medical professionals feeling pressured into providing answers to questions they might not have time to gather information on. Or parents being forced to make decisions without all the facts. It is a hard enough decision to make without any added time constraints.”\nOur geneticist informed us that his life would have been short and painful, and similar babies have died in hospital within weeks of birth. To think that the choice to terminate the pregnancy might not have been open to me, and that I would have been forced by law to take the pregnancy to term, knowing what fate the baby would meet, is quite unthinkably cruel. Let alone the question of how I could possibly have managed emotionally to bear the situation for a further 16 weeks, I have another very young (healthy) child who needs my care and I dread to think how we could have coped with the pain and stress.”\nSitting in a room waiting to be called in to have an injection in your stomach to stop your baby’s heart is not something anyone does lightly or out of prejudice, it’s a decision made out of love. Giving birth to my son knowing I have saved him from pain holding him and saying goodbye to him, having all our friends and family at his funeral to say hello and goodbye to him is the only thing in this whole nightmare that gave me comfort.”\n- Ending a wanted pregnancy after a prenatal diagnosis is a painful experience at any gestation and no expectant parent makes the decision lightly. From our 30 years’ experience at ARC it is our view that the law as it stands enables parents, in consultation with their clinical team, to make the best decisions they can for their family’s future. Restriction of the law would add distress to an already harrowing circumstance.\nARC’s View on Bereavement Care\nFrom our long experience of working with parents who lose a baby due to a termination of pregnancy for fetal anomaly, we know how important it is that parents are supported with high-quality, individualised and well-coordinated care.\nThis means not only at the point at which the decision to end the pregnancy is taken, but also when choosing the termination method, memory making with the baby, taking decisions about a post mortem examination and histology, registering the baby’s birth and death, making choices about what happens to the baby’s body, and being discharged. It also means the availability of ongoing emotional support and support with any subsequent pregnancies.\nIn 2017, ARC partnered with a number of organisations to launch the National Bereavement Care Pathway (NBCP) for pregnancy and baby loss. It includes a specific set of guidelines for parents facing termination for fetal anomaly, which can be read here. ARC wants to see these adopted in all areas of the UK.\nThe nine NBCP bereavement care standards that appear below were launched for England during Baby Loss Awareness Week 2018. It is our belief that every NHS Trust should ensure the following:\n- A parent-led bereavement care plan is in place for all families, providing continuity between settings and into any subsequent pregnancies.\n- Bereavement care training is offered to staff who come into contact with bereaved parents, and staff are supported to access this training.\n- All bereaved parents are informed about and, if requested, referred for emotional support and for specialist mental health support when needed.\n- There is a bereavement lead in every healthcare setting where a pregnancy or baby loss may occur.\n- Bereavement rooms are available and accessible in all hospitals.\n- The preferences of all bereaved families are sought and all bereaved parents are offered informed choices about decisions relating to their care and the care of their babies.\n- All bereaved parents are offered opportunities to make memories.\n- A system is in place to clearly signal to all health care professionals and staff that a parent has experienced a bereavement to enable continuity of care.\n- Healthcare staff are provided with, and can access, support and resources to deliver high quality bereavement care.\nARC will continue to champion these standards and are keen to see them adopted in all four countries of the UK", "domain": "law"}

In the next verse, the psalmist claims that the law is a source of life, comparing the one who abides in God’s law to a strong and fruitful tree whose leaf does not wither. The law has not always been characterized in such glowing terms. In my experience in Christian churches, it is often thought of as a burden from which Christ has set us free. Without denying the freedom that we experience in Christ, it is important to push back against the maligning of the law as burdensome. Sin is burdensome, but the law is sweeter than honey (Pss 19:10; 119:103). The law of the Lord is divine instruction, God’s self-revelation, and a gracious gift. The law is good, bringing life and wisdom (Ps 19:7)\nThe Hebrew word torah, used in the first psalm to signify “teaching” or “law,” evokes a broad concept that incorporates all instruction from the mouth of God, from the command spoken at the beginning of creation (Gen 1:3), to God’s arbitrating word of peace flowing out of Zion (Isa 2:3), and to the climactic divine Word expressed in the incarnation of Jesus. Torah has always been and remains God’s self-disclosure, revealing the divine character and will. Keepers of Torah simply seek to live out the will of God as an expression of thanks and submission: not my will, but yours be done.\nAlthough there are numerous laws that deserve Christian reflection, including ordinances for ritual purity, morality, and ethical treatment of neighbors and foreigners, the ten commands of Exodus 20 express the core from which all other biblical law flows. They move from commanding loyalty to Yahweh alone, to keeping of the holy day, and to righteous treatment of family and neighbors. The final commandment legislates against coveting, which is unique insofar as it is concerned with internal thoughts and motivations. These laws are expounded upon multiple times throughout the Old and New Testament. For example, Deuteronomy is a retelling and exposition of God’s law, told as a reminder of the covenant that Israel made with God before they cross the Jordan into the promised land. Most notably, Jesus himself, in the spirit of the tenth command on internal motivations, reinterprets the precepts set out at Sinai in order to show God’s heart in the law (Matthew 5:17-48). Jesus also quotes Lev 19:18 as a way of summing up the core of the law, calling his disciples to love God and love their neighbors. Jesus did not come to do away with the law, but to demonstrate the law and to live the will of God.\nSo why is the law so good? Why is it worthy of our meditation? Because it teaches us about the identity of the Lord. If you want to know what God is like, look to Jesus, who points you to the law. Moreover, biblical law provides instruction about life in the kingdom of God. The law is an invitation to the imitation of God, inviting us to be holy as Yahweh himself is holy (Lev 11:44-45; 19:2) and instructing us to be just, to care for the oppressed just as Yahweh has cared for us. Obedience to the law is the means by which Israel lived out its identity and calling as the community of the redeemed.\nFinally, God’s grace is from the beginning. Israel trusted in the grace of God even while seeking to be obedient to his expectations. The psalmist of Psalm 1 no doubt knew the struggles of living up to the standards set out at Sinai, but he also knew the grace that accompanies life within the covenant. “Yahweh, Yahweh, a God who is compassionate and gracious” (Exod 34:6). The law is a delight because it is an expression of God’s grace, a gift to teach us and to lead us. There is no greater joy than to know God and live out his will.\nThis year as we reflect together on the law of the Lord at Harding School of Theology, “May the words of our mouths and the meditation of our hearts be pleasing to you, O Lord, our rock and our redeemer” (Ps 19:14).\nAssistant Professor of Old Testament", "domain": "law"}

Dispute arbitration via the three deposit schemes is an evidence based process, but without sufficient evidence your claim is unlikely to be upheld. An inventory without a tenants signature or a Check-In meeting is a common reason that a landlord loses a deposit claim.\nWe all know that having an accurate Inventory at the beginning of a tenancy will reduce the risk of any dispute about damage to property or its contents between the landlord and tenant at the end. However this is only the case if the tenant has been given the opportunity to agree and sign the inventory at the very beginning of the tenancy. The signing and dating at the Check-In meeting demonstrates their agreement to the condition of the property and its contents.\nA Check-in Meeting is the best way to demonstrate that the tenant was given the opportunity to give input to an inventory and agree it. The tenant can also highlight faults and have them noted on the Inventory and know that he will not be held responsible at the end of the tenancy. The Check-in procedure is protection for both landlord and tenant as once the inventory is agreed it gives a valid snapshot of the property at the beginning of the tenancy.\nIf the tenant is not given the opportunity to agree the contents of the inventory or make agreed amendments to reflect the condition of the property it could be argued that the Inventory is devalued if not worthless. As a result at the end of the tenancy it would be harder for the landlord to rely on the Inventory as evidence in the case of a dispute.\nThe deposit scheme providers (TDS, DPS and My deposits) all follow the same principles and standards when dealing with a deposit dispute so involved parties can expect a fair outcome. The ‘Guide to tenancy deposit disputes and damages’ published jointly by the three schemes stresses that: “Just providing an Inventory to the tenant and expecting them to note any discrepancies or rely on a document that has not been signed will not be sufficient to convince an adjudicator”. The schemes recommend that where ever possible it should be ensured that the tenant is given the opportunity to view, amend and sign the Inventory. If the inventory is not signed by the tenant the schemes require that a Landlord explains why.\nDue to the importance ARLA (Association of Residential Letting Agents) put on Inventories they created a subdivision called APIP (Association of Professional Inventory Providers). APIP consider that a Check-in Meeting is best practice and as members, we always recommend a Check in Meeting to our clients.", "domain": "law"}

It must:\n- Be an employees’ association;\n- to which membership is voluntary;\n- that is controlled by its members;\n- that provides for the payment of life, sick, accident, or other benefits to its members or their dependents or designated beneficiaries.\n- Conduct substantially all of its operations in furtherance of providing such benefits; and\n- prohibit any part of the net earnings of the organization from inuring, other than by payment of benefits, to the benefit of any private shareholder or individual.\nThe membership of an organization described in section 501(c)(9) must consist of individuals who become entitled to participate by reason of their being employees and whose eligibility for membership is defined by reference to objective standards that constitute an employment-related common bond among such individuals. Typically, those eligible for membership in an organization described in section 501(c)(9) are defined by reference to a common employer (or affiliated employers), to coverage under one or more collective bargaining agreements (with respect to benefits provided by reason of such agreement(s)), to membership in a labor union, or to membership in one or more locals of a national or international labor union.\nAny objective criteria used to restrict eligibility for membership or benefits may not be selected or administered in a manner that limits membership or benefits to officers, shareholders, or highly compensated employees of an employer contributing to the association.\nGenerally, membership in an association is voluntary if an affirmative act is required on the part of an employee to become a member rather than the designation as a member due to employee status. However, an association shall be considered voluntary although membership is required of all employees, provided that the employees do not incur a detriment (for example, in the form of deductions from pay) as the result of membership in the association. An employer is not deemed to have imposed involuntary membership on the employee if membership is required as the result of a collective bargaining agreement or as an incident of membership in a labor organization.\nControl by Members\nA VEBA must be controlled by: (i) By its membership, (ii) By independent trustee(s) (such as a bank), or (iii) By trustees or other fiduciaries at least some of whom are designated by, or on behalf of, the membership.\nProvision of Acceptable Benefits\nVEBAs must provide life, sickness, or accident benefits, or other benefits that are similar to those benefits.\nA benefit is similar to a life, sickness, or accident benefit if: (1) It is intended to safeguard or improve the health of a member or a member’s dependents, or (2) It protects against a contingency that interrupts or impairs a member’s earning power.\nAccording to IRS materials:\n\"All VEBAs may provide the following benefits: term life insurance; group whole life insurance (as defined in section 79); accidental death and dismemberment insurance; medical and dental insurance; disability insurance; vacation pay; vacation facilities; recreational expenses; child care; job readjustment allowances; income maintenance payments in time of economic dislocation; temporary living expense loans and grants in times of disaster; supplemental unemployment compensation benefits; severance pay (if provided in accordance with 29 CFR 2510.3-2(b)); and education or training benefits or courses for members. Reg. 1.501(c)(9)-3(b), (c), and (e).\n\"Collectively bargained VEBAs may provide the following additional qualifying benefits: educational or training benefits for dependents of members; and worker's compensation benefits.\"\nSubstantially All Operations\nA voluntary employees’ beneficiary association is not operated for the purpose of providing life, sick, accident, or other benefits unless substantially all of its operations are in furtherance of the provision of such benefits. A VEBA cannot systematically and knowingly provide impermissible types of benefits.\nUnacceptable benefits include:\n- commuting expenses\n- accident or homeowner’s insurance;\n- malpractice insurance;\n- loans to members except in times of distress (as permitted by § 1.501(c)(9)–3(e)); and\n- any savings program.\nNo Private Inurement\nNo part of the net earnings of a VEBA may inure to the benefit of any private shareholder or individual other than through the payment of permitted benefits. The disposition of property to, or the performance of services for, a person for less than the greater of fair market value or cost (including indirect costs) to the association, other than as a life, sick, accident or other permissible benefit, constitutes prohibited inurement. Generally, the payment of unreasonable compensation to the trustees or employees of the association, or the purchase of insurance or services for amounts in excess of their fair market value from a company in which one or more of the association’s trustees, officers or fiduciaries has an interest, will constitute prohibited inurement.\nDiscrimination of favor of highly compensated employees, or an discrimination in type or form of benefits that cannot be justified by objective and reasonable standards is prohibited inurement.\nRequirements Under Code Section 505 and Other Nondiscrimination Rules\nSection 505 mandates that any classification of employees for benefit purposes must be nondiscriminatory as to HCEs. Generally, this means benefits cannot vary depending on whether a member is an HCE or an NHCE, although life insurance and other income replacement benefits may bear a uniform relationship to compensation.\nCertain employees may be excluded when considering whether benefits discriminate in favor of highly compensated individuals. Such employees include those who (i) have not completed three years of service, (ii) are less than half-time employees, (iii) are seasonal employees, or (iv) have not attained age 21. Section 505(b)(2).\nThe rules of Code Section 505 do not apply to plans that are subject to other nondiscrimination rules in the Code, such as self-insured medical benefits under section 105(h); supplemental unemployment compensation benefits described in section 501(c)(17); group term life benefits (which are generally subject to section 79); dependent care assistance described in section 129; and educational assistance described in section 127.\nTax Treatment of Benefits\nVEBA benefits are afforded no special tax treatment, but many common VEBA benefits are not included in income because of other Code provisions.\nThe unrelated business taxable income of a VEBA for a taxable year of generally will equal the lesser of two amounts:\n- the income of the VEBA for the taxable year (excluding member contributions); or,\n- the excess of the total amount set aside as of the close of the taxable year (including member contributions, and excluding certain assets with a useful life extending substantially beyond the end of the taxable year to the extent they are used in the provision of welfare benefits) over the qualified asset account limit (calculated without regard to the otherwise permitted reserve for post-retirement medical benefits) for the taxable year.\nPursuant to 26 U.S.C. § 419A, a VEBA's account limit is generally the amount necessary to pay for incurred but unpaid benefit claims as of the end of the year as well as certain related administrative costs. Accordingly, a VEBA's income is exempt from tax only to the extent that it does not result in a year-end account balance in excess of the amount necessary to satisfy incurred but unpaid member claims.\nUses of VEBAs\nVEBAs are often used in situations that require benefits to be partially separated from employers.\nERISA welfare plans generally can be terminated at any time because welfare benefits do not normally vest. However, the governance of a VEBA and the terms of its trust agreement can make termination difficult. Moreover, VEBA assets cannot revert to the employer or inure to any private benefit.\nNonetheless, the regulations provide that it will not constitute prohibited inurement if, on termination of a VEBA, any assets remaining, after satisfaction of all liabilities to existing beneficiaries of the plan, are applied to provide, either directly or through the purchase of insurance, life, sick, accident or other benefits within the meaning of § 1.501(c)(9)–3 pursuant to criteria that do not provide for disproportionate benefits to officers, shareholders, or highly compensated employees of the employer. See § 1.501(c)(9)–2(a)(2).\nIn addition, a transfer of assets from one VEBA to another, even if economically beneficial to an employer, is generally not a prohibited reversion.\nSee the regulations below (attached).\n1.501(c)(9)-1 Voluntary employees' beneficiary associations, in general. 1.501(c)(9)-2 Membership in a voluntary employees' beneficiary association; employees; voluntary association of employees. 1.501(c)(9)-3 Voluntary employees' beneficiary associations; life, sick, accident, or other benefits. 1.501(c)(9)-4 Voluntary employees' beneficiary associations; inurement. 1.501(c)(9)-5 Voluntary employees' beneficiary associations; recordkeeping requirements. 1.501(c)(9)-6 Voluntary employees' beneficiary associations; benefits includible in gross income. 1.501(c)(9)-7 Voluntary employees' beneficiary associations; section 3(4) of ERISA. 1.501(c)(9)-8 Voluntary employees' beneficiary associations; effective date.", "domain": "law"}

As to which version is \"official?\" I don't know.\nAs passed by the Congress:\nAs ratified by the States:A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.\nA well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.\nThere are many judicial debates surrounding the specific meanings of \"well regulated militia.\" Also, the meaning of \"people,\" versus \"People.\" The two may well be intertwined. Some may read People as being the United States as an entity, where the People refer to the government. In other words, the right of the government to maintain a standing army, which would be described as a well-regulated militia. Others would interpret \"people\" as being individual citizens of the United States in small collective groups that stockpile weapons, such as the \"militias\" often referred to in some of the more rural parts of Idaho or Montana for example. Others just seem to dispense of the whole militia part and go straight to the right of an individual citizen to bear arms.\nMany see the Second Amendment and defending the right of the citizens to rise up against their government in armed conflict. Back in the day, when the average citizen could possess a weapon that was every bit as good as the military's weapons, this could easily be seen as a deterrent for the government to not to overstep its bounds. But today, I think there would little argument that no matter how well armed the citizenry is, modern U.S. military weapons would have little trouble against an armed uprising.\nDespite all of those various interpretations, I'm actually looking at the meaning of \"Arms\" (or arms). What are \"arms?\" They are not the things hanging from your shoulders, at least not in this context. Arms, or armaments, are weapons. These are not specific to projectile weapons. Swords, knives, throwing stars (for you ninjas out there), staffs, etc. But there are other arms as well, such as hand grenades, flame throwers, tanks with depleted uranium shells, Joint Strike Fighters with air to air missiles, and yes, even a nuclear bomb. Was it the intention of our founding fathers to allow for an individual citizen of the United States to posses a weapon of mass destruction?\nAs many of you know, I am an ardent defender of the First Amendment. Despite my loathing of religion, whether organized or not, I am a strong believer in freedom of religion and I have often commented on freedom of speech as well. While I may disagree with some of the abhorrent things people say (Westboro Baptist Church), I will defend their right to say it. Just because someone is easily offended doesn't mean that the speech has to be restricted. Having said all that, the courts have consistently ruled that there are time and place exceptions to free speech. One classic example if yelling fire in a crowded theater. That is not protected free speech. A more recent example is the Westboro attempts to protest the funerals of soldiers who have died overseas or even the funerals of the victims of the recent Tucson shootings. Just recently, the Supreme Court gave a victory to Westboro Baptist Church when the father a slain soldier sued them in an attempt to ban protests of military funerals. The Court decided correctly, that Westboro has the right to protest a military funeral. The father's case was over reaching. Instead, Arizona (specifically Kyrsten Sinema D-15), proposed legislation that put time and place restrictions on the protests. Not within x hundred yards of the property and not x minutes before and after. These types of restrictions are often viewed favorably by the court because they don't infringe upon the right of the protesters, yet allow reasonable protections for the mourners.\nSo, what is the point of all that rambling. Simple, at least in my mind. I'm not familiar with what laws are in place today, but I am fairly certain that it is illegal to posses things like nuclear bombs, surface to air missiles, fully functional tanks with ammunition, etc. And, I don't think many people are going to go to their congressperson and make a strong case that those restrictions are unconstitutional. On the other hand, I think it is perfectly reasonable to allow the sale of handguns, hunting rifles, etc. Both for personal protection and/or hunting, and just plain target shooting. The real debate is the area in between. Automatic weapons, extended clips, etc. Yes, there is a percentage of the population that enjoys being able to fire those weapons for target practice. Is it unreasonable to license and regulate shooting ranges and gun rentals for those people? For some, it is.\nFor me, I recognize the right of an individual to bear arms. But, as is the case with free speech, I believe there are reasonable \"time and place\" restrictions that need to be considered. What those are, I don't know. That is the battleground between gun control advocates and Second Amendment advocates such as the NRA. By no means is this a black and white issue.", "domain": "law"}

Hemp is part of our history and now, thanks to the Legislature and Gov. Kim Reynolds, hemp is now a part of our future.\nIn December 2018, President Trump signed the 2018 Farm Bill. Among the provisions enacted were provisions declaring hemp as an agricultural commodity and removed it from the federal controlled substances act, where it had previously been lumped in with its intoxicating cousin, marijuana. Hemp is federally defined as a cannabis plant with a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentration of not more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis.\nThe Iowa Hemp Act (Senate File 599) adheres to federal requirements. Iowa adopted the same federal definition of hemp the feds have; the bill permits the cultivation, processing, and retail of industrial hemp and hemp products. Cultivation cannot start until the USDA approves a growing plan submitted by the state Dept. of Ag. Though the Farm Bill did not define hemp products, Iowa law does define hemp products as \"an item derived from or made by processing hemp and parts of hemp, including but not limited to any item manufactured from hemp, including but not limited to cloth, cordage, fiber, food, fuel, paint, paper, particle board, plastic, hemp seed, seed meal, or seed oil.\" Items explicitly excluded are products with more than 0.3 percent THC on a dry weight basis and seed capable of germination. Senate File 599 further removes hemp from the definition of marijuana as defined by Iowa Code Ch. 124. The bill also specifically permits the retail of all hemp products, including hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD, and also permits the addition of hemp-derived CBD to human and animal consumables and other products to the extent permitted by federal law.\nThough the 2018 Farm Bill has federally legalized hemp and hemp products and removed it from the federal Controlled Substances Act, the world of hemp-derived CBD is still largely unregulated. The FDA has been tasked with developing those regulations.\nMarketing Application of Products\nAs of June 2019, the FDA has not approved any marketing application for cannabis. This just means the FDA has not said it's ok to market CBD as medicinal product, or as a dietary supplement. This is an area the FDA is expected to create regulations on in the near future. In the meantime, marketing will matter significantly. The FDA has approved one cannabis-derived product with CBD as a drug that is available with prescription: Epidiolex. There are no other FDA-approved drug products that contain CBD.\nHemp-derived CBD cannot and should not be marketed as a dietary supplement. The FDA has yet to adopt regulations to market and sell hemp-derived CBD as a dietary supplement, and it does not fall under any federal exceptions.\nHemp-derived CBD cannot and should not be marketed as a medicinal product. The FDA has approved Epidiolex as a medicinal product which contains CBD. Retailers should never make medical claims about CBD, including potential conditions for which it might assuage. Labels on these products should comply with existing FDA standards, and should also clearly state the total milligrams of cannabinoids in the product (not just a percentage), and how many milligrams of the product are in the smallest size dose a person can take. No retailer should sell any product with more than 0.3 percent THC on a dry weight basis.\nHuman and Animal Consumables\nThe FDA has yet to regulate hemp-derived CBD in foods for humans and animals. Iowa law allows hemp-derived CBD to be used in human and animal consumables to extent allowed by federal law; when the FDA adopts the regulations, Iowa law will already permit this. Businesses and processors should comply with current standards set the FDA. The existing exceptions recognized by the FDA are hulled hemp seed, hemp seed protein powder, and hemp seed oil. These may be added to human consumables.\nIowa law allows hemp derivatives, including CBD, to be added to cosmetics (as defined by the FDA) and other topicals products; such products are not considered to be adulterated because they contain hemp derivatives. Federal law does not require that cosmetics/topicals ingredients get premarket approval (with a few exceptions), including hemp derivatives.\nIowa does not allow the retail or use of any smokable cannabis products, regardless of THC content.", "domain": "law"}

It is recommended to start no earlier than the age of 16,5.\nUntil the age of 18, they may only drive with restrictions under strict conditions, accompanied by a so-called 'mentor'. The mentor is obliged to sit in the seat next to the driver, to monitor the traffic situation and the driver's behaviour, and to advise the driver if necessary.

The act was signed into law by President Donald Trump on January 29, 2020, and it replaced the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) that had been in place since 1994.\nThe USMCA Implementation Act has several key features that are designed to promote free and fair trade among the three countries. One of its most important provisions is the removal of certain barriers to trade, including tariffs on goods such as dairy, poultry, and automobiles. This is expected to increase the flow of goods among the three nations and create a more level playing field for businesses operating in each country.\nAnother key provision of the USMCA Implementation Act is the requirement that a certain percentage of auto parts be made in North America in order to qualify for duty-free treatment. This provision is intended to increase the production of auto parts in the region, which should create more jobs and stimulate economic growth.\nThe USMCA Implementation Act also includes provisions covering labor and environmental standards. The agreement includes provisions that require each country to uphold basic labor rights, such as the right to collective bargaining and freedom of association. Additionally, the agreement includes provisions to protect the environment, including measures to reduce air and water pollution and protect wildlife.\nThe USMCA Implementation Act has been welcomed by business groups across the region. The agreement is expected to provide a more stable trading environment for businesses and enhance economic growth for each of the three nations. By replacing NAFTA, the USMCA Implementation Act is an important step towards strengthening economic ties and promoting free trade throughout North America.\nIn conclusion, the USMCA Implementation Act is a significant piece of legislation that will have a profound impact on trade relations between the United States, Mexico, and Canada. The agreement is designed to promote free and fair trade, eliminate barriers, and protect labor and environmental standards. With the implementation of the USMCA Implementation Act, businesses and consumers can look forward to a more prosperous and stable trading environment in North America.", "domain": "law"}

Any deviation will be unconstitutional and has been confirmed in numerous cases.\nMany children in our society are either brought up by a mother or a father being clear that mothering of a child is not specifically gender-based. In cases of same-sex couples Courts should be cautioned not to apply these couples to tests which could be discriminatory.\nIf one considers the provisions of Section 292(1) (c) then it is evident that the Legislature has contemplated that a single person may also be a commissioning parent. This appears to be in line with the prohibition of non-discrimination located in Section 9 of the Constitution.\nThe Best Interests of the Child\nIn terms of section 28(2) of the Constitution, a child’s best interests are of paramount importance in every matter concerning the child. This approach is echoed in section 7 of the Act.\nThe mother who gave birth to the child and her husband, if married to her, was regarded as the parents of that child prior to the enactment of the Act in relation to the child of the commissioning parents and they could only become legal parents after following adoption procedures. The surrogate mother could change her mind and object to the adoption of the baby irrespective of the genetic origin of the child. Uncertainty regarding the parents could impact negatively on the child which had a direct bearing on the best interests of the child.\nIn terms of section 297(b) and (c) of the Act, the surrogate mother has to hand the child over as soon as is reasonably possible after the birth and neither she or her partner or relatives have any right of parenthood or care.\nHere the best interests of the child are addressed, in that the agreement may not be terminated after the artificial fertilisation has taken place. A surrogate mother who is also a genetic parent of the child may, however, terminate the agreement after the birth of the child and prior the 60-day lapse.\nSection 298(2) of the Act dictates that the Court must terminate the confirmation of the agreement upon finding, after notice to the parties and a hearing, that the mother has voluntarily terminated the agreement and that she understands the effect of the termination, and a Court may issue any other appropriate order if it is in the best interests of the child. In the light of the fact that the Court can issue “an appropriate order” the Court will be in a position to ensure that the best interests of the child are protected on termination of the agreement.\nThe standard should be flexible as individual circumstances will determine the best interests of the child.\nWhen a court considers the question of the best interests of the child, care should be taken that the rights of the commissioning parents in terms of the Bill of Rights and the Promotion of Equality and Prevention of Unfair Discrimination Act, Act No. 4 of 2000 are not violated by unnecessary invasion of the privacy or by setting the bar too high for parents who only desires a child by way of surrogacy. The Court will take into consideration the circumstances of the particular case.\nThe Surrogate Mother and the Risk of Commercial Surrogacy\nAlthough agencies play an important facilitative role by introducing surrogates and commissioning parents, concern regarding abuse can be a problem. In countries with deep socio-economic disparities and the prevalence of poverty as in ours, the possibility of abuse of underprivileged women is a real and ever-present danger. The ideal would be to regulate and oversee agencies. Payments in contravention of the law can easily be disguised and presented as legal and legitimate payments.\nThe payments set out in section 301 of the Act should be adhered to and any other payments are prohibited. No facilitation fee to any person who introduced the surrogate mother is allowed. The affidavit should state that no such fee was paid to any person.\nFor any involved agency, full particulars regarding the agency should be revealed. An affidavit containing the following should be filed:\n- business of agency\n- any form of payment paid to or by the agency in regard of any aspect of the surrogacy\n- detailed involvement of agency regarding\n- introduction of the surrogate mother,\n- how the information regarding the surrogate mother was obtained, and\n- whether the surrogate mother received any compensation from the agency or the commissioning parents.\nFull particulars should be set out in the founding affidavit as follows:\n- How commissioning parents know surrogate and why she is willing to surrogate\n- Surrogate’s background and financial position\n- Comprehensive psychologist report on the suitability of surrogate (background, psychological profile, and effect of giving up baby)\n- Medical reports on her physical condition and what dangers surrogacy might pose on her or child. Should also include HIV status or other transferable diseases to protect the child and allow the Court’s discretion in confirming agreement\nIn our view, the application should also state where the gametes will come from, without revealing the identity of the donor.\nThe Act prescribes in section 295(b) (ii) that the commissioning parents should in all respect be suitable parents to accept parenthood. In a diverse society as ours it will inevitably mean that cultural, social, religious backgrounds as well as issues such as gender may well be just some of the factors which may form views on what a suitable parent may be. Personal perceptions should not influence Courts in any decision on the suitability of parenthood or as a surrogate mother. When a Court decides on the suitability of a parent in our view an objective test should be applied which would include an enquiry into the ability of the parents to care for the child both emotionally and financially and to provide an environment for the harmonious growth and development of the child, bearing in mind the constitutional principles already referred to.\nJA Attorneys’ legal team has vast experience in dealing with Legal and Constitutional Issues arising from Surrogacy Applications.

Although I wasn't asked point blank how old I am, when asked about the ages of my kids I lied so as to appear younger. Of course when I did get hired I had to fill out the forms and felt I had to continue with the lie. I feel ashamed about this. From time to time during conversations the ages of my kids come up. Was this against the law to lie about my age? Should I come clean? Thanks.\n-- Name and Location Withheld By Request\nWhat a difficult and very common dilemma: whether to distort or hide the truth during a job interview, with the hope that this will get you hired; or else be honest and maybe risk losing out on the offer. Plus how to handle things if you are the one chosen for the position.\nThis is a tough question to answer both in broader terms as well as in your specific case. Lets tackle the more generic issue first: is it O.K. to lie when applying for work? Here Ill have to defer to the Workopolis Employment Law expert, Norman Grosman. In one of his informative articles he states that dishonesty is not always cause for dismissal (see his Q&A on this topic here). He does go on to say, however, that ''dishonesty is amongst the most severe forms of misconduct in an employment relationship. In many situations involving dishonesty the employer likely will have cause for dismissal. Only where the dishonesty is, perhaps, modest, and not in direct conflict with an ongoing employment relationship, does the employee have much chance of success. Allegations of dishonesty, as with other allegations of misconduct must, however, be proven by the employer.''\nSo much for the general rule. What about in your particular circumstances? You have already fibbed during your job interview and on the forms you filled out once employed. Obviously this puts you at risk should your employer find out and choose to pursue action against you. This is particularly true if you signed an employment contract that explicitly states that any untruthfulness on your part may be construed as sufficient cause to terminate you.\nThen again, how long can you go on concealing your mistruth? Its likely to spill out sooner or later. Likely when you least expect it. And in a way that will embarrassingly reveal to all your deception. At that point it might be too late to mitigate any resulting damage.\nHere, then, are some options to consider for now:\n- Come clean immediately. Unburden yourself and hope your employer is understanding and that they value your contribution to their firm. Be honest about your concerns regarding age because they might see that as an extenuating factor.\n- Come clean eventually. Build up your goodwill first and show them what a great team player and performer you are. Then when you spill the beans they may be more prone to view your one mistruth as an acceptable anomaly.\n- Keep lying, and talk less about your kids at work. This way you conceal the dishonesty. But as I mentioned above, it seems bound to reveal itself at some point in time anyway.\nThey say that alls fair in love, war and interviewing for a job. Only it often comes down to a question that you, the candidate, owe it to yourself to think about carefully before accepting an offer: if you truly believe you have to lie in order to get this particular job, and you just arent the type whos comfortable being deceptive, then would you be better off to walk away and continue your search elsewhere? Only you can answer this one for yourself.\nThe opinions and positions expressed in the above article represent the views of the author and are provided with no legal obligation and liability on the part of either the author or the publisher of this article, and with no implied or stated guarantees.

The first guidelines, founded under a regime that is previous had been targeted by Trump’s CFPB, under director Kathy Kraninger. Within times, Kraninger’s CFPB is anticipated to issue a revised form of the payday guideline, which eliminates the key feature: it does not need payday lenders to assess their clients when it comes to power to repay their loans.\nAfter making the CFPB a year ago, Mufarrige now works as a co-employee into the antitrust and competition training at Wilson Sonsini, a D.C. law practice.

Mufarrige invested over an at the bureau, while the instances noted which he “had frequently criticized the 2017 guideline as flawed and unneeded. 12 months”\nBased on the memo from previous CFPB economist Jonathan Lanning, Mufarrige had a “tenuous, usually problematic grasp of economics.” He repeatedly attemptedto “selectively cite evidence,” “advocate for conclusions according to presumptions,” while making errors that are“critical fundamental economics.” The memo additionally alleges that Mufarrige ended up being accountable for senior officials misrepresenting areas of the payday rule’s evidence and analyses towards the press. Lanning highlighted Muffarige’s contradictory assertions to justify particular conclusions, at one point asserting “default expenses on payday loans are high,” and sentences later on saying “default prices are low.”\nMufarrige “was fighting to own their title removed” through the set of workers whom labored on the revised payday financing guideline, a requirement underneath the Congressional Review Act. Some in the bureau believed that Mufarrige’s relationship with Ronald Mann, a teacher whom struggled to obtain a lending that is payday team, explained their reticence to being included one of many contributors.\nLanning mused about Mufarrige’s motives that animated their assaults on the payday rule. “It seems like an issue that is really personal him,” Lanning had written in a remark connected to the memo.\nHe didn’t understand how personal.\nThe lending that is payday additionally covers automobile title loans, where a person trades the name for their car for fast money.

Having been a law enforcement family for the past several years, I have seen first hand the impact of society on these officers, their spouses, and their children. My goal is to stand in the gap for these individuals as I seek to be a light and to show forth Christ, who can give them hope, strength, and encouragement in these challenging times.\nI am reminded of the words of the Apostle Paul as he charged Timothy to do the work of an evangelist, and to make full proof of his ministry.\nAfter having the privilege for 23 years to pastor the wonderful people of the Gospel Baptist Church in Mocksville, NC, God has changed the direction of my life. For the past 4 ½ years, I have had the privilege to be a volunteer chaplain with the NC State Highway Patrol - district E7 for Davie and Yadkin counties. In October of 2020, I was able to take some Law Enforcement Crisis Response training at the Charlotte-Mecklenburg police department.

Translations created by sworn translators are always equivalent to the original document. Official translations usually carry a stamp and they are often accompanied by a certification or a statement by a sworn translator.\nDocuments like these have many uses. They can be used as a proof of studies or degrees completed in another country and in another education system, as a certificate of non-impediment for marriage or when seeking a divorce in another country, for matters related to international company acquisitions or the company register, when drawing up contracts with parties who require them in another language or for criminal or civil proceedings.\nAs such, a translated document’s function is to prove a certain qualification, right or legality in matters involving more than one language or country.\nLegally valid translations can only be provided by sworn translators, who must be familiar with the legal aspects related to certified translations. These are, for example, the translator’s responsibility on the assignment, professional secrecy and confidentiality, the status of the original document and aspects related to the layout and format of the translation.\nWe at Lingo ask the client for the purpose and the destination of the translation to find out whether an official translation and possibly an apostille are required.\nOfficial translations are always completed as per the current regulations on sworn translators and official documents. Official translations must closely follow the original source document.\nWhen the translation is finished, the sworn translator stamps the completed document and certifies the translation with a statement and signature. Stamps are not mandatory in Finland but authorities in several other countries require a stamp in order to process the translation as an official document.\nA sworn translator’s translation is often accepted as is. However, the approval of translations always depends on the matter at hand and the receiving authority.\nMany consulates recommend attaching an apostille to translations provided by sworn translators. Apostilles are obtained from city administrative courts, they are usually given in the particular country’s official language and they are not translated.\nWe always treat your materials as confidential and we request to see the original document. We also request that you provide us with the purpose and destination country of the translation.\nWe provide official translations usually in language combinations with Finnish as either the source or target language.\nWe also find sworn translators for other languages.\nMore information about sworn translations is available on the Finnish National Board of Education’s website.", "domain": "law"}

The law enforcement agencies will significantly increase enforcement Tuesday, May 9, on portions of I-41, US 10 and WIS 441 under construction in the Fox Cities.\nNumerous state troopers and sheriff’s deputies will be looking for, and ticketing, traffic law violators, aggressive drivers, speeders, tailgaters, and especially, distracted drivers on May 9.\n“Our construction crews are seeing a disturbing trend of drivers in the WIS 441 work zone not paying attention to the only thing they should be doing – driving,” says DSP Sergeant Tim McGrath. “We are seeing more crashes now that construction has ramped up for the season. Bad driver behavior is directly responsible for the majority of crashes.”\nWCSO Lieutenant Lori Seiler says drivers using cell phones continue to be a key cause of crashes. A new law in Wisconsin makes it illegal to talk on a handheld mobile device while driving in a work zone. She adds that following the new law is simple: See orange cones – put down the phones. If you are observed talking or texting on a hand-held device in a work zone, you will be ticketed and receive a fine.\n“This is where I live. This is where my friends and family work, and this is where law-abiding motorists I’m tasked with protecting travel every day,” says Lieutenant Seiler. “Unfortunately, bad driving behaviors are putting their lives at risk. Distracted or aggressive driving is deadly, prevalent, expensive and entirely preventable.”\nReported work zone crashes in Winnebago County went from 76 in 2014, to 245 in 2015 and 239 in 2016. Statewide, there have been more than 2,000 work zone crashes in each of the last three years, including more than 2,800 in 2016 – an average of more than seven each day. In 2016, work zone crashes caused nine fatalities and 1,110 injuries in Wisconsin.\n“We want motorists to be conscious of their behavior while driving their vehicles,” says Sergeant McGrath. “A lot can happen – fast – even at a reduced speed in a work zone, so it’s very important to eliminate distractions, slow down and avoid tailgating. If it takes writing 200 tickets to get that point across, then that’s what we’ll do.”\nDSP and WCSO announce the special enforcement effort in advance to the public as an educational measure and encourage voluntary compliance. Sergeant McGrath adds that typically driving behavior in an area does improve following a special enforcement detail, “We are hoping this enforcement detail leaves an impression on drivers, and positive driving behaviors will carry over into the busy construction season.”\nThe WIS 441 Tri-County Project contracts with the Wisconsin State Patrol to provide extra law enforcement presence in the work zone. Drivers ticketed in the work zone will see their fine double.\nFor more information, contact:\nSergeant Tim McGrath, Wisconsin State Patrol\nfirstname.lastname@example.org (920) 929-3700\nLieutenant Lori Seiler, Winnebago County Sheriff’s Office\nemail@example.com (920) 236-7300", "domain": "law"}

MLB, which has five franchises in California, has been a proponent of sports betting legalization since the United States Supreme Court overturned the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 in 2018.\n“As legalized sports betting spreads across the country, Major League Baseball remains committed to protecting the integrity of its games and providing a safe experience for fans who wish to wager on those games,”\nMLB said in a statement issued Friday. “Proposition 27 – the only measure on the upcoming California ballot that would authorize and regulate online sports betting – includes strong integrity provisions designed to assist MLB in meeting those commitments.”\n“For example, the bill would (1) require online sports book operators to notify leagues of suspicious wagering activity, (2) allow leagues to propose restrictions on betting markets that are especially vulnerable to manipulation, and (3) facilitate other forms of integrity-related cooperation between the state, leagues, and operators.”\nMLB believes that Prop 27 contains the safeguards necessary to establish a safe and responsible online sports betting market in California – a state where millions of MLB fans are looking for alternatives to illegal offshore betting sites.”\nA coalition of tribes, led by Pechanga, has endorsed Proposition 26, the California Sports Wagering Regulation and Unlawful Gaming Enforcement Act.\n“A large and growing coalition of Indian Tribes, social justice advocates, teachers, parents, homeless and mental health advocates, business, public safety, and labor leaders all strongly oppose Prop 27,” said Kathy Fairbanks, spokesperson for the Yes on 26 and No on 27 campaigns. “\nThe bill would legalize massive expansion of online gambling, turning every cell phone, laptop, gaming console, and tablet into a gambling device.” Worse, there is no foolproof way to prevent children from gambling online. Prop 27 is written in such a way that the out-of-state gambling corporations that fund it take 90% of the profits out of state, leaving little for California.\nWe are confident that voters will reject this deceptive and dangerous legislation in November.”\nChris Gove, a sports betting investor and partner at consulting firm Eilers & Krejcik Gaming, believes a mature online sports betting market in California could generate up to $3 billion in annual revenue.\nIn comparison, according to the industry trade publication VIXIO Gambling Compliance, retail-only sports betting will generate $356 million in annual gross revenue by the fifth year.", "domain": "law"}

This is expected to have a severe impact on the ability of borrowers to repay their debt during this period. To offset the cascading impact on the economy and the financial health of institutions operating in the financial landscape and to enable borrowers to tide over the immediate impact of the lockdown, the RBI came up with \"COVID-19 – Regulatory Package” on March 27, 2020.\nKey aspects of the regulatory package\nThe RBI’s regulatory package allows financial institutions (all commercial banks, including regional rural banks, small finance banks and local area banks, co-operative banks and NBFCs ,including housing finance companies) to grant a moratorium for all EMI payments of certain categories of loans that fall between March 1 and May 31, 2020. The moratorium covers both principal and interest and is applicable for all term loans and working capital facilities.\nThe repayment schedule for such loans as also the residual tenor, will be shifted across the board by 2-3 months after the moratorium period. Interest shall continue to accrue on the outstanding portion of the loans during the moratorium period. For term loans (including retail loans), there is no mention on when the accrued interest for this period will be collected from borrowers – whether this is immediately due on the first instalment that falls after May 31, amortized over the residual tenor of the facility or due on the maturity of the facility. However, for working capital instruments, it has been clarified that the accrued interest shall be recovered immediately after the completion of the moratorium period.\nFor the financial institutions, the Board of Directors shall formulate and approve a policy that will be the basis for deciding on the eligibility of loans for the moratorium. The rescheduling of payments, including interest, will not qualify as a default for the purposes of supervisory reporting and reporting to Credit Information Companies (CICs) by the lending institutions. It will also not be treated as concession or change in terms and categorized as restructured loans on the books of the lenders. The asset classification of the loans which are granted relief shall be determined based on revised due dates and the revised repayment schedule.\nThe package, however, does not cover debt raised from capital market investors and instruments. As such, all NCDs, PTCs (to the extent of collections) and other instruments invested in by Mutual Funds, Insurance Companies, Private Wealth Investors and Family Offices may need to be serviced through this period.\nImpact on securitization and direct assignment transactions\nSecuritization and direct assignment transactions\nThe RBI has not mentioned anything specific for off-balance sheet transactions. But given that underlying assets managed by the Originators are retail in nature and they will have to allow the moratorium to their end borrowers, it will be difficult to manage differential treatment to the owned and securitized/assigned assets at a contract level.\nThe collections of the underlying assets will be low in the coming months because of the lockdown and the moratoriums expected to be provided by the Originators, therefore it is prudent to extend the tenor of the securitization and direct assignment transactions.\nWithout extending the tenor, it is expected that many transactions may see significant early utilisation of credit enhancement, which may prompt rating downgrades in securitization transactions. The investors may also end up with a pool of low rated investments which will impact their overall portfolio and risk weight assets. Therefore, as mentioned earlier investors are incentivised to allow moratorium for the contracts under a securitization or direct assignment transaction in order to ensure orderly servicing of the instruments in the context of a moratorium required / expected in the underlying portfolio.\nThe Originator’s primary role in this context is that of a servicer and not the lender. Therefore, the Originator will not be able to grant a moratorium on its own. However, transaction documents generally contain a provision enabling the servicer to reschedule any underlying facility or change the terms of any underlying facility with the consent of the purchaser/investor. To implement any moratorium provided pursuant to the RBI COVID-19 Circular and any change in the repayment mechanics, the parties to a securitization or a direct assignment transaction would need to consider instructing the servicers (through the trustee in the case of securitization and directly in case of direct assignment transactions) to apply the moratorium.\nProcess of extending moratorium and amending the transaction documents\nBelow is the suggested process of extending moratorium and amending the transaction documents under a securitization/direct assignment transaction. The flowchart is also shared in the image above.\nServicer to share its Moratorium Policy (or extract thereof) with Investors (senior and subordinate) through the Trustee along with a request to apply the Moratorium Policy to the assets forming part of PTC and DA transactions and to extend the legal final maturity date (LFMD) in case of PTCs. In certain structures, further consequential changes may be needed.\nInvestors to instruct the Trustee to in turn instruct the Servicer to administer its policy for the pool as well.\nAs regards such loans (constituting the securitized pool) for which moratorium stands extended, collections, if any, during the moratorium by the servicer will have to be transferred to the trustee and such collections will have to be treated as prepayments and dealt differently in different transactions as per the applicable waterfall mechanism. Accordingly, the Investors shall also instruct the Trustee utilise the such collections towards payments to PTC holders/ Assignee.\nPAR triggers may not be triggered during the moratorium period as the status quo of the underlying pool will be maintained.\nInvestors to authorise the Trustee to extend legal final maturity date (LFMD) based on the request and their internal approvals.\nCE utilisation during the moratorium will have to be suspended as set out in the table below. Instructions to be given to the Trustee accordingly.\nBased on the transaction structure, it may have to undergo change. Instructions to be given to the Trustee accordingly.\nRating agency will be informed of the servicer’s moratorium policy and investors’ consent to allow moratorium on the underlying pool in line with servicer’s policy. Rating agency will review the revised cashflows and gives its view on the amendments proposed.\nWhere necessary, trust deeds will have to be amended in addition to the aforesaid instructions. The trustee will continue to redraw the expected pay-outs schedule as per the terms of the transaction documents and on account of prepayments (due to collections) during the moratorium, disuse of CE during the moratorium, and change in transaction structure, if any. Reporting requirements will continue to be adhered to.\nThis note only represents our initial views on the current situation as we pay close attention as to how the situation develops.

Here are a couple:\nSome people, mostly consumers, seem to think it’s a great idea; others, mostly authors and publshers, think it’s terrible. But if there’s anything I’ve learned in modern digital life, if something becomes possible, it will be done. The only question is going to be how.\nA minority of people already resell their used ebooks. It’s called piracy. Some make money off it, some don’t, and some just facilitate this crime. I say crime because it’s both unlawful and immoral, but I’m not going to get all huffy about it. Like shoplifting, it’s a fact of life.\nThe fact that at least it is recognized as illegal and immoral and is somewhat suppressed means that many law-abiding readers would rather pay a small fee for the convenience and peace of mind to download a legal ebook, than go through the trouble of searching out a piracy site, and by the way, risk acquiring some malware with their “freebie.” In this sense those sites that actually propagate that malware are the author’s friends by creating risks for doing so. As we learned with the iTunes model, if the legal download price is reduced to a reasonable level – for songs, it turned out to be 99c – most people move away from pirate sites. Add to that the fact that your lawfully-purchased library is fully recoverable through the vendor (Amazon, B&N or whatever) should your reading device get lost, stolen or destroyed, and most people will buy legally.\nThe twist here is that if Amazon and eventually everyone starts reselling ebooks, how do we tell the original from a perfect digital copy? Just like with piracy, if there is not some DRM-like system in place, one person could “resell” their book many times.\nThe whole foundation of the concept of reselling a used ebook is “First Use Doctrine.” I am not by any means a lawyer but as I understand it, this means that if you buy something, you own it and can do whatever you like with it. But the law seems to treat digital properties differently. They say that a digital property is not subject to first use doctrine. And currently, ebook owners do not actually own the books themselves, they merely own a license to use the ebook. Since it is the license they own, my common sense says they should be able to resell the license. Because the rights-owner, that is, author and/or publisher, gets part of the sale price for a new license, they should get part of the sale of the resold license.\nOf course, who manages licenses? The licensing vendor – for example Amazon. For Amazon to make this work without cutting its own throat, they would need to get a piece of every resale for transferring the license to the new owner. If they tried to do this without giving the author and publishers a cut, especially the big publishers that still have clout and legal departments, they would never make it work, in my humble opinion.\nThere are many ways this could play out, and I’m not going to try to make predictions. I’d just say to my fellow authors and readers – expect it to happen sometime. Until then, all a little guy like me can do is keep writing the best books I can, and hope the big boys don’t kill off their golden geese.", "domain": "law"}

Nevertheless, amid all the excitement, it is essential to remember that acquiring permissions and complying with rules are really important aspects to consider. When it comes to assuring the success, safety, and legality of any building endeavor, these components contribute significantly to the overall picture.\nLegal Compliance and Accountability\nThe acquisition of the required permissions and the observance of laws are not only formalities; rather, they are compulsory legal obligations that must be satisfied. Failure to comply with regulations can result in serious repercussions, such as financial penalties, increased delays, and even the cessation of building activity. Construction projects may demonstrate their commitment to legal and ethical standards by obtaining the necessary permissions and adhering to rules. This contributes to the development of accountability and helps to reduce the likelihood of possible legal complications.\nEnsuring Structural Integrity and Safety\nTo maintain construction standards, as well as to guarantee the structural integrity and safety of buildings, permits, and regulations are meant to be of assistance. By getting the necessary permissions, builders demonstrate that they conform to the predetermined rules that outline everything from the design of the foundation to the wiring of the electrical system. This dedication to safety not only safeguards the people who are residing in the building but also contributes to the general resilience of the community’s infrastructure.\nSeveral construction projects have environmental repercussions and permits frequently include conditions to address various environmental problems. Erosion control, trash management, and the conservation of natural habitats are all examples of procedures that may be mandated by regulations to reduce the negative influence on the environment. Observing these rules helps to cultivate environmental stewardship, which in turn ensures that construction projects are carried out in a responsible and environmentally conscious manner.\nFacilitating Planning and Coordination\nWhen it comes to building projects, permits serve as a blueprint, providing particular features and regulations of the project. This paperwork makes it easier for many stakeholders, including as architects, contractors, and regulatory bodies, to effectively organize and coordinate their activities. Having clear standards helps to eliminate misunderstandings, limit the number of disputes that occur, and speed up the building process, which ultimately leads to better and more effective outputs.\nCommunity Relations and Public Perception\nConstruction projects are often integral parts of communities, and their impact extends beyond the construction site. Engaging with the community and obtaining permits help create positive relationships with neighbors and local authorities. Transparent communication about the project’s scope, timeline, and potential disruptions builds trust and enhances public perception. This, in turn, can contribute to smoother project execution and a more favorable reception within the community.\nFinancial Viability and Project Success\nSecuring permits and adhering to regulations is not just a legal necessity; it is a key factor in the financial viability and overall success of a construction project. Delays resulting from permit issues or regulatory non-compliance can lead to increased costs, strained budgets, and potential legal battles. By addressing these aspects proactively, construction professionals can ensure the smooth progression of the project, safeguarding its financial health and successful completion.\n- Permits and regulations are legal requirements, that ensure compliance and accountability.\n- They contribute to the structural integrity and safety of buildings.\n- Environmental considerations are addressed through permit requirements.\n- Clear guidelines facilitate planning and coordination among stakeholders.\n- Positive community relations and public perception are enhanced by engaging with permits.\n- Proactive adherence to regulations contributes to financial viability and project success.\nIt is impossible to emphasize the significance of permits and rules in the ever-changing world of building, which is distinguished by the intersection of creativity and utility. These components serve as the basis upon which projects that are productive, secure, and in compliance with the law are constructed. Not only does participating in the regulatory process guarantee compliance, but it also demonstrates a dedication to the implementation of ethical building standards, environmental responsibility, and constructive community participation. The specialists in the construction industry set the way for projects that not only stand tall but also survive the test of time by understanding the relevance of permits and regulations.", "domain": "law"}

Being future-oriented also means being on the right of the law. This is why Dirk Machanek supports us since March this year as a fully qualified lawyer in permanent employment.\nAs a result of his extensive experience as a lawyer and his advisory function for various companies, Mr. Machanek is able to provide services covering a broad spectrum of expertise and skills, which will serve us well at the Willi Elbe Group. The work will include corporate and tax law, labour law, but also more unusual areas of law such as corporate criminal law, compliance or real estate law will be part of the job.\nIn addition to the internal technical know-how, it is also the task of the expert to identify when external consulting is required and which consulting is to be called upon for which specific issues. In a globalised world, a lawyer cannot be expected to know and understand every foreign legal system in detail.\nMr. Machanek is the contact person for all legal matters relating to the law and as of July he acts as Group Privacy Officer for our employees. He currently reviews our data protection management system and is preparing our planned ISO 27001 certification in close cooperation with the divisions. He is also responsible for all contract reviews, whether for customers or suppliers.\nDirk Machanek has settled in very well and cannot complain about a lack of work. “Complying with the requirements of the law as well as those of the customer is not always easy and comprehensible for everyone. The demands as well as the risks are increasingly stringent. Compliance, including the data protection, is an important issue for a successful company on today's market.

(“Pharmaron”), we collect and process information about individuals (i.e. ‘personal data’) for business purposes, including employment and HR administration, provision of our services, marketing, health and safety and business administration. This includes personal data relating to our staff, customers, suppliers and other third parties.\n1.2 Compliance with data protection law is essential to ensure that personal data remains safe, our business operations are secure and the rights of individuals are respected. Pharmaron is a controller under data protection law, meaning it decides how and why it uses personal data. This policy explains our procedures for complying with data protection law in relation to personal data. It also sets out your obligations whenever you are processing any personal data in the course of your employment.\n1.3 If you routinely handle individuals’ personal data, you will be given specific training/instructions regarding data protection procedures in relation to your particular role. These training/instructions will supplement your obligations as set out in this policy.\n1.4 There will also be other policies which will impact on how you deal with personal data and data protection. The main ones are our IT and Communications Policy, and we expect you to comply with these where relevant. Pharmaron will also issue or amend a number of policies, SOPs and guidelines in order to help ensure we are compliant from a GDPR perspective.\n1.5 This policy does not give contractual rights to any employees. It may be updated at any time.\nWho does this Policy apply to?\nThis policy applies to all Pharmaron employees, workers, contractors, agency workers, consultants, interns, volunteers, partners and directors, (together referred to as ‘Employees’ or ‘you’).\n3.1 This policy applies to the following Pharmaron entities:\n(i) Pharmaron UK Ltd.\n(ii) Pharmaron Biologics (UK) Ltd.\n(iii) Pharmaron Manufacturing Services (UK) Ltd.\nWho is responsible for data protection at Pharmaron?\n4.1 The Pharmaron CEO is ultimately responsible for Pharmaron’s compliance with applicable data protection law but has delegated this responsibility to the Data Protection Officer. Pharmaron has appointed Stephen Lewinton as the Data Protection Officer, who is responsible for overseeing and advising Pharmaron on and administering compliance with this policy and data protection law. In this role, the Data Protection Officer is supported by Executive Director Human Resources, Senior Finance Director, Site Managers, EHS Managers, IT Managers and other specialists with responsibility for specific areas.\n4.2 All employees at Pharmaron have some responsibility for ensuring that personal data is kept secure and processed in a lawful manner although certain employees will have particular responsibilities, of which they will be aware and in respect of which they may receive specific instructions.\n4.3 If you are in any doubt about how you should handle personal data, or if you have any concerns or questions in relation to the operation (or suspected breaches) of this policy, you should seek advice from Stephen Lewinton via firstname.lastname@example.org\nWhy is data protection compliance important?\n5.1 Data protection law in the UK is regulated and enforced by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). Failure to comply with data protection law may expose Pharmaron and, in some cases, individual employees to serious legal liabilities. These can include criminal offences and fines of up to EUR20 million (approximately £18 million) or 4% of total worldwide annual turnover, whichever is higher. In addition, an individual may seek damages from us in the courts if we breach their rights under data protection law. Breaches of data protection law can also lead to serious damage to our brand and reputation.\n5.2 In addition to the legal liabilities, failure to comply with your obligations under this policy could lead to disciplinary action and, in serious cases, it could result in the termination of your employment.\nWhat is personal data?\n6.1 Personal data means any information relating to any living individual (also known as a ‘data subject’) who can be identified (directly or indirectly) in particular by reference to an identifier (e.g. name, NI number, employee number, e-mail address, physical features). Relevant individuals can include your colleagues, consumers, members of the public, business contacts, etc. Personal data can be factual (e.g. contact details or date of birth), an opinion about a person’s actions or behaviour, or information that may otherwise impact on that individual. It can be personal or business related.\n6.2 Personal data may be automated (e.g. electronic records such as computer files or in emails) or in manual records which are part of a filing system or are intended to form part of a filing system (e.g. structured paper files and archives).\nWhat does ‘processing’ personal data mean?\n7.1 ‘Processing’ personal data means any activity that involves the use of personal data (e.g. obtaining, recording or holding the data, amending, retrieving, using, disclosing, sharing, erasing or destroying). It also includes sending or transferring personal data to third parties.\nData Protection Obligations\n8.1 Pharmaron is responsible for and must be able to demonstrate compliance with data protection law. To ensure that Pharmaron meets its responsibilities, it is essential that its employees comply with data protection law and any other Pharmaron policies, guidelines or instructions relating to personal data when processing personal data in the course of their employment. We have set out below the key obligations under data protection law and details of how Pharmaron expects employees to comply with these requirements.\n8.2 Process personal data in a fair, lawful and transparent manner Legal grounds for processing:\n(i) Data protection law allows us to process personal data only where there are fair and legal grounds which justify using the information.\n(ii) Data protection law allows us to process personal data only where there are fair and legal grounds which justify using the information.\n(a) complying with a legal obligation (e.g. health and safety or tax laws);\n(b) entering into or performing a contract with the individual (e.g. an employee’s terms and conditions of employment, or a contract for services with an individual customer);\n(c) acting in Pharmaron’s or a third party’s legitimate interests (e.g. maintaining records of business activities, monitoring business productivity); and\n(d) obtaining the consent of the individual (e.g. for sending direct marketing communications).\n(iii) Where consent is relied upon, it must be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous, and Pharmaron must effectively demonstrate that consent has been given.\n(iv) In line with ICO guidance regarding the employer/employee relationship, Pharmaron does not generally use consent as a legal ground for processing employee data unless the data processing activities concerned are genuinely optional.\n(v) In most cases, consent is also not required for other standard business activities involving use of customer or supplier data, but it may be needed for activities which are not required to manage the main business relationship, such as direct marketing activities.\n(i) Data protection law also requires us to process personal data in a transparent manner by providing individuals with appropriate, clear and concise information about how we process their personal data.\n(ii) We usually provide individuals with basic information about how we use their data on forms which collect data (such as application forms or website forms), and in longer privacy notices setting out details including: the types of personal data that we hold about them, how we use it, our legal grounds for processing the information, who we might share it with and how long we keep it for. For example, we provide information about our processing of employees’ personal data in the Pharmaron Employee Privacy Notice.\n(iii) We supplement these notices, where appropriate, with reminders or additional information at the time particular processing activities take place or become relevant for an individual (for example when they sign up for a new service or event).\n(iv) What you need to do:\n(a) By processing personal data only in accordance with your lawful job duties and Pharmaron instructions, ordinarily, you will be processing personal data fairly and lawfully.\n(b) The standard privacy notices and statements that we issue, for example, to employees, customers and the public, should normally be sufficient to ensure that individuals have appropriate information about how you are handling their personal data in the course of your employment. However, you should consider whether reminders or additional information may be appropriate at the time particular processing activities take place. This is particularly important if you think that individuals may need further assistance to understand clearly how their data will be used as part of such activities.\n(c) Any new forms which collect personal data and any proposed consent wording must be approved in advance by Stephen Lewinton but should in the first instance be discussed and agreed with a specialist manager appropriate to the activity being undertaken such as the Executive Director, Human Resources.\n(d) If you have any concerns about the legal grounds for processing personal data or if you are unsure whether individuals have been provided with appropriate information (in relation to any new processing activities), please check with Stephen Lewinton.\n8.4 Take extra care when handling sensitive or special categories of personal data\n(i) Some categories of personal data are ‘special’ because they are particularly sensitive. These include information that reveals details of an individual’s:\n(a) racial or ethnic origin,\n(b) political opinions,\n(c) religious or philosophical beliefs,\n(d) trade union membership,\n(e) physical or mental health,\n(f) sexual life or sexual orientation,\n(g) biometric or genetic data (if used to identify that individual), and\n(h) criminal offences or convictions\n(ii) Where special category personal data is concerned, data protection law requires us to have (as well as one of the legal grounds described in section 8.2) an additional legal ground to justify using this sensitive information. The appropriate legal ground will depend on the circumstances.\n(iii) Additional legal grounds for processing special category data include the following. Those marked with an asterisk (*) would be particularly relevant to processing employees’ special category personal data:\n(a) complying with a legal obligation/exercising a legal right in the field of employment*;\n(b) assessing working capacity (based on expert medical opinion, and subject to obligations of confidentiality)*;\n(c) carrying out equalities monitoring in relation to racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, health or sexual orientation*;\n(d) exercising, establishing or defending legal claims*;\n(e) preventing or detecting unlawful acts; or\n(f) explicit consent of the individual. (As well as the requirements for consent outlined in section 1 above, this requires an express statement from the individual that their special category of data may be used for the intended purposes.)\n(iv) What you need to do:\nIf you are handling special category personal data in the course of your employment, you need to take extra care regarding compliance with data protection law. In particular, try to ensure that:\n(a) any processing activities are strictly in accordance with your lawful job duties and Pharmaron instructions,\n(b) there are appropriate legal grounds for processing the data (both basic grounds under section 8.2 and additional grounds under this section 8.4) which have been assessed for your specific activities\n(c) individuals have received adequate information regarding how their data is being handled. In some cases, an existing privacy notice may need to be supplemented with more specific information regarding special category data.\n(d) you apply additional security and confidentiality measures, considering that the impact on individuals of loss or misuse of their special category data may be greater than with other types of data.\n(e) if you are relying on consent as a legal ground for processing, you obtain advance approval of any consent wording from Stephen Lewinton via email@example.com\n(v) If you are routinely handling special category data as part of the requirements of your role and job duties, Pharmaron will ordinarily have put in place procedures which ensure that your processing activities satisfy the requirements above.\n(vi) However, if alternative circumstances apply (e.g. you are involved in a new project or updating an existing system which involves new types of processing of special category data), please contact Stephen Lewinton via firstname.lastname@example.org\n(vii) Similarly, if you have any concerns over the legal grounds that apply when you are processing special category data or the appropriate information to be provided to individuals, please contact Stephen Lewinton via email@example.com\n8.5 Only process personal data for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes\n(i) Pharmaron will only process personal data in accordance with our legitimate purposes to carry out our business operations and to administer employment and other business relationships.\n(ii) What you need to do:\n(a) You must only use the personal data that you process in the course of your duties for Pharmaron’s legitimate and authorised purposes. You must not process personal data for any purposes which are unrelated to your job duties.\n(b) Processing personal data for any incompatible or unauthorised purposes could result in a breach of data protection law (e.g. using the company contacts database to find out a colleague’s home address for private, non-work related purposes). This may have potentially damaging consequences for all parties concerned, including disciplinary action.\n(c) If you find that you need to process personal data for a different purpose from that for which it was originally collected, you must check whether the individuals have been informed and, if not, consider whether the additional purpose is legitimate (in the context of Pharmaron’s business activities) and compatible with the original purpose.\n(d) If you are unsure about whether the purposes for processing are legitimate, you should contact Stephen Lewinton via firstname.lastname@example.org before going ahead with processing the data for the additional purpose.\n8.6 Make sure that personal data is adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary for your legitimate purposes\n(i) Data protection law requires us to ensure that, when we process personal data, it is adequate, relevant to our purposes and limited to what is necessary for those purposes (also known as ‘data minimisation’). In other words, we ask for the information we need for our legitimate business purposes, but we won’t ask for more information than we need in order to carry out our business operations.\n(ii) What you need to do:\n(a) You should try to ensure that you only acquire and process the personal data that you actually need for Pharmaron’s legitimate and authorised purposes within the scope of your role.\n(b) You must ensure that you have sufficient personal data needed to be able to use it fairly and to take into account all relevant details.\n(c) If you are creating forms that collect personal data, you should be able to justify why each specific category of data is being requested.\n(d) You must also comply with Pharmaron’s instructions about data retention and storage, ensuring that personal data is only kept for as long as it is needed for any intended purpose.\n8.7 Keep personal data accurate and (where necessary) up to date\n(i) Pharmaron must take steps to ensure that personal data is accurate and (where necessary) kept up to date. For example, we request that employees provide us with any change in contact details or personal information via Human Resources online platform (Sage PRO). We also take care that decisions impacting individuals are based on accurate and up-to-date information.\n(ii) What you need to do:\n(a) When you process individuals’ personal data in the course of your employment, you must make reasonable efforts to be accurate and, where necessary, keep the relevant information updated.\n(b) When collecting any personal data, try to confirm its accuracy at the outset. If you subsequently discover any inaccuracies in the personal data that you are handling, these need to be corrected or deleted without delay.\n(c) Personal data should be held in as few places as possible to avoid the risk that duplicate copies are not updated and become out of sync. You should not create additional copies of personal data but should work from and update a single central copy where possible (in accordance with standard Pharmaron procedures on retention and storage of records).\n8.8 Keep personal data for no longer than is necessary for the identified purposes\n(i) Records containing personal data should only be kept for as long as they are needed for the identified purposes. Pharmaron has in place data retention, storage and deletion policies and internal processes/guidelines regarding various types of company records and information that contain personal data.\n(ii) We take appropriate steps to retain personal data only for so long as is necessary, taking into account the following criteria:\n(a) the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data,\n(b) the risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure,\n(c) the purposes for which we process the personal data and how long we need the particular data to achieve these purposes,\n(d) how long the personal data is likely to remain accurate and up-to-date,\n(e) for how long the personal data might be relevant to possible future legal claims, and\n(f) any applicable legal, accounting, reporting or regulatory requirements that specify how long certain records must be kept.\n(iii) In considering the above, it is important to note that although some personal data will no longer be current, it must be retained to demonstrate the historic status for a variety of audit purposes. This, in the view of Pharmaron, is a mandated legitimate business interest. An example of this would be training records, CVs, benefits, salary etc.\n(iv) What you need to do:\n(a) Please familiarise yourself with our retention policies, processes, guidelines, and instructions that are relevant to your job. Ensure that, where it falls within your responsibility, you destroy or erase all information that you no longer require in accordance with these.\n(b) If you are not sure what retention guidelines/instructions apply to you in your role, or you are unsure of how to apply them to a particular type or item of personal data, please contact Stephen Lewinton or one of the specialist managers for the data type concerned.\n8.9 Take appropriate steps to keep personal data secure\n(i) Keeping personal data safe and complying with Pharmaron’s security procedures to protect the confidentiality, integrity, availability, and resilience of personal data is a key responsibility for Pharmaron and its workforce.\n(ii) Pharmaron has IT and Communications Policy, which sets out its organisational and technical security measures to protect information, including personal data.\n(iii) The IT and Communications Policy also sets out protocols for employees on use of technology and communications systems, which also help to ensure appropriate security of personal data stored or communicated using such systems.\n(iv) We regularly evaluate and test the effectiveness of these measures to ensure the security of our personal data processing activities as set out in our IT and Communications Policy.\n(v) What you need to do:\nTo assist Pharmaron in maintaining data security and protecting the confidentiality and integrity of the personal data you handle in the course of your employment, we require you to comply with this policy, our IT and Communications Policy and any Pharmaron instructions regarding the processing and security of personal data. We require you to:\n(a) save, store and communicate personal data only within or using authorised Pharmaron information and communications systems. Restrict storage of personal data on personal devices or using personal communications facilities (or BYOD controls),\n(b) use password-protected and encrypted software for the transmission and receipt of emails,\n(c) lock files in a secure cabinet,\n(d) never leave your laptop, other device or any hard copies of documents containing personal data in a public place,\n(e) take care when observing personal data in hard copy or on-screen that such information is not viewed by anyone who does not have the right to that information, especially if you are viewing the personal data in a public place,\n(f) when storing data on portable devices such as laptops, smartphones, or USB drives, ensure that the device is encrypted and password protected,\n(g) ensure that information containing personal data is disposed of securely and permanently, using confidential waste disposal or shredding where necessary,\n(h) alert Data Protection Officer to any personal data breaches immediately and in accordance with Pharmaron Breach Management Procedure (see below for further details about personal data breaches), and\n(i) ensure that any sharing or disclosure of personal data is permitted on appropriate legal grounds and, where necessary, safeguards are in place (see below for further details of safeguards regarding overseas transfers or if sharing personal data with third-party service providers).\n8.10 Take extra care when sharing or disclosing personal data\n(i) The sharing or disclosure of personal data is a type of processing, and therefore all the principles described in this policy need to be applied.\n(ii) Internal data sharing\n(a) Pharmaron ensures that personal data is only shared internally on a ‘need to know’ basis.\n(iii) External data sharing\n(a) We will only share personal data with other third parties (including group entities) where we have a legitimate purpose, and an appropriate legal ground under data protection law which permits us to do so. Commonly, this could include situations where we are legally obliged to provide the information (e.g. to HMRC for tax purposes) or where necessary to perform our contractual duties to individuals (e.g. provision of information to our occupational pension providers).\n(b) We may appoint third-party service providers (known as processors) who will handle information on our behalf, for example to provide payroll, data storage or other technology services.\n(c) Pharmaron remains responsible for ensuring that its processors comply with data protection law and this policy in their handling of personal data. We must assess and apply data protection and information security measures prior to and during the appointment of a processor. The extent of these measures will vary depending on the nature of the activities, but will include appropriate risk assessments and reviews, and contractual obligations.\n(d) Details of the recipients or categories of recipients of personal data (including processors and other third parties) should be set out in privacy notices as described in section 8.2 above.\n(iv) What you need to do:\nYou may only share or disclose the personal data we hold internally with an employee, agent or representative of Pharmaron if the recipient has a job-related need to know the information.\nYou may only disclose the personal data we hold to service providers or other third parties (including group entities) where:\n(a) there is a legitimate purpose and an appropriate legal ground for doing so (e.g. it is necessary for them to process the personal data in order to provide a service to us such as payroll, or if we are legally obliged to do so),\n(b) the individuals whose personal data is being shared have been properly informed (e.g. in an appropriate privacy notice),\n(c) if the disclosure is to a service provider, Pharmaron has checked that adequate security and data protection measures are in place to protect the personal data concerned,\n(d) the service provider or third party has signed up to a written contract that contains the provisions required by data protection law (unless Stephen Lewinton has determined that this is not required in context), and\n(e) the transfer complies with any overseas transfer restrictions, if applicable.\n(v) Routine disclosures of personal data to established recipients (e.g. payroll providers or group entities) which form a normal and regular part of your role and job duties will ordinarily satisfy the above requirements. You should always ensure you comply with any Pharmaron instructions you are given. However, if you are in any doubt as to whether you can share personal data with anyone else, first contact Stephen Lewinton via email@example.com\n8.11 Do not transfer personal data to another country unless there are appropriate safeguards in place\n(i) An overseas transfer of personal data takes place when the data is transmitted or sent to, viewed, accessed or otherwise processed in, a different country. European Union data protection law restricts, in particular, personal data transfers to countries outside of the European Economic Area (EEA – this is the European Union plus Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland), to ensure that the level of data protection afforded to individuals is not compromised (as the laws of such countries may not provide the same level of protection for personal data as within the EEA).\n(ii) To ensure that data protection is not compromised when personal data is transferred to another country, Pharmaron assesses the risks of any transfer of personal data outside of the UK (taking into account the principles in this policy, as well as the restrictions on transfers outside the EEA) and puts in place additional appropriate safeguards where required.\n(iii) Pharmaron has in its notices and documentation highlighted the disclosure of personal data to its parent and sister companies in China and USA. These Group companies have adequate data security measures for personal data and in the view of the Management such disclosures form part of the legitimate operation of the Company. Disclosure to these companies should be dealt with on the basis it is an internal company disclosure but with due consideration to the security of the method of transfer.\n(iv) What you need to do:\n(a) Outside of the Pharmaron Group, if you are required to transfer individuals’ personal data outside of the UK or EEA in the course of your employment, adequate safeguards will need to be in place. Where these overseas transfers are a normal part of your role and job duties, Pharmaron’s current safeguards are likely to provide the required levels of data protection.\n(b) However, if you are transferring personal data overseas in alternative circumstances (e.g. for new types of processing activities which haven’t previously formed part of your job scope and activities, or to countries with which you haven’t previously dealt) you should contact Stephen Lewinton via firstname.lastname@example.org for further guidance before going ahead with the transfer.\n8.12 Report any data protection breaches without delay\n(i) Pharmaron takes any data protection breaches very seriously. These can include lost or mislaid equipment or data, use of inaccurate or excessive data, failure to address an individual’s rights, accidental sending of data to the wrong person, unauthorised access to, use of or disclosure of data, deliberate attacks on Pharmaron’s systems or theft of records, and any equivalent breaches by Pharmaron’s service providers.\n(ii) Where there has been a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of or access to individuals’ personal data, Pharmaron will take immediate steps to identify, assess and address it, including containing the risks, remedying the breach, and notifying appropriate parties (see below). Pharmaron has a Breach Management Procedure which sets outs its procedures for identifying, assessing and addressing security breaches.\n(iii) If Pharmaron discovers that there has been a personal data security breach that poses a risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals, we will report it to the ICO within 72 hours of discovery.\n(iv) We also keep an internal record of all personal data breaches regardless of their effect and whether or not we report them to the ICO.\n(v) If a personal data breach is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals, we will tell affected individuals that there has been a breach and provide them with information about its likely consequences and the mitigation measures we have taken.\n(vi) What you need to do:\n(a) If you become aware of any breach (or suspected breach) of this policy (including, in particular any security breach), you must report it to Stephen Lewinton immediately via email@example.com to ensure that the breach is effectively assessed and addressed, and that we comply with Pharmaron’s data breach reporting obligations.\n8.13 Do not use profiling or automated decision-making unless you are authorised to do so\n(i) Profiling, or automated decision-making, occurs where an individual’s personal data is processed and evaluated by automated means resulting in an important decision being taken in relation to that individual. This poses particular risks for individuals where a decision is based solely on that profiling or other automated processing.\n(ii) One example of solely automated decision-making would be using an online psychometric test to automatically reject job applicants who do not meet a minimum pass mark (without any human oversight such as a review of the test results by a Recruiting Manager).\n(iii) Data protection law prohibits decision-making based solely on profiling or other automated processing, except in very limited circumstances. In addition, where profiling or other automated decision-making is permitted, safeguards must be put in place and we must give individuals the opportunity to express their point of view and challenge the decision.\n(iv) Pharmaron will not make decisions solely on profiling data or use automated decision-making in respect of personal data. If you identify this as a potential risk, an alternative approach must be followed.\n8.14 Integrate data protection into operations\n(i)Data protection law requires Pharmaron to build data protection considerations and security measures into all of our operations that involve the processing of personal data, particularly at the start of a new project or activity which may impact on the privacy of individuals. This involves taking into account various factors including:\n(a) the risks (and their likelihood and severity) posed by the processing for the rights and freedoms of individuals,\n(b) technological capabilities,\n(c) the cost of implementation, and\n(d) the nature, scope, context and purposes of the processing of personal data.\n(ii) We also seek to assess data protection risks regularly throughout the lifecycle of any project or activity which involves the use of personal data.\n(iii) What you need to do:\n(a) If you are involved in the design or implementation of a new project or activity that involves processing personal data, you must give due consideration to all the principles of data protection set out in this policy.\n(b) You should assist Stephen Lewinton with regular reviews of projects or activities to ensure data protection risks continue to be addressed\n(c) A useful tool for assessing data protection and privacy considerations is a Data Protection Impact Assessment or ‘DPIA’. A DPIA will consider the necessity and proportionality of a processing operation and assess the risks to individuals and the measures that can be put in place to mitigate those risks. A DPIA must be carried out if a data processing operation is likely to give rise to a high risk to individual rights and freedoms.\n(d) If you are involved in the design or implementation of a new project that involves processing personal data, you must check whether it is necessary to conduct a DPIA or similar risk or compliance assessment by contacting Stephen Lewinton via firstname.lastname@example.org. He will also be able to advise you on how we expect you to conduct, or otherwise contribute to, a DPIA or similar risk assessment.\n8.15 Individual Rights and Requests\n(i) Under data protection law, individuals have certain rights when it comes to how we handle their personal data. For example, an individual has the following rights:\n(a) The right to make a ‘subject access request’. This entitles an individual to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about them, together with information about how and why we process it and other rights which they have (as outlined below). This enables them, for example, to check we are lawfully processing their data and to correct any inaccuracies.\n(b) The right to request that we correct incomplete or inaccurate personal data that we hold about them.\n(c) The right to withdraw any consent which they have given.\n(d) The right to request that we delete or remove personal data that we hold about them where there is no good reason for us continuing process it. Individuals also have the right to ask us to delete or remove their personal data where they have exercised their right to object to processing (see below).\n(e) The right to object to our processing of their personal data for direct marketing purposes, or where we are relying on our legitimate interest (or those of a third party), where we cannot show a compelling reason to continue the processing.\n(f) The right to request that we restrict our processing of their personal data. This enables individuals to ask us to suspend the processing of personal data about them, for example if they want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.\n(g) The right to request that we transfer to them or another party, in a structured format, their personal data which they have provided to us (also known as the right to ‘data portability’). The applicability of this right depends on the legal grounds on which we process it.\n(h) The right to challenge a decision based solely on profiling/automated processing, to obtain human intervention, and to express their point of view.\n(ii) We are required to comply with these rights without undue delay and, in respect of certain rights, within a one-month timeframe.\n(iii) Individuals also have rights to complain to the ICO about, and to take action in court to enforce their rights and seek compensation for damage suffered from, any breaches.\n(iv) What you need to do:\n(a) If you receive a request from an individual seeking to exercise a right in relation to their personal data, or making an enquiry or complaint about our use of their personal data, you must forward the request, enquiry or complaint to Stephen Lewinton via email@example.com immediately so that it can be dealt with appropriately and within the applicable time limit and in accordance with Pharmaron’s individual personal data rights procedures. Your assistance may be needed to address and respond to the request, enquiry, or complaint.\n8.16 Record Keeping\n(i) In order to comply, and demonstrate our compliance, with data protection law, Pharmaron keeps various records of our data processing activities. These include a Record of Processing which must contain, as a minimum: the purposes of processing; categories of data subjects and personal data; categories of recipients of disclosures of data; information about international data transfers; envisaged retention periods; general descriptions of security measures applied; and certain additional details for special category data.\n(ii) What you need to do:\n(a) You must also comply with our applicable processes/guidelines and any specific instructions you are given concerning the keeping of records about our processing of personal data.\n(b) If you are processing individuals’ personal data in the course of your employment and you collect any new types of personal data or undertake any new types of processing activities, either through the introduction of new systems or technology or by amending existing ones, please inform Stephen Lewinton via firstname.lastname@example.org so that we are able to keep our records up-to-date.\n9.1 We require all employees to undergo some basic training to enable them to comply with data protection law and this policy. Additional training may be required for specific roles and activities involving the use of personal data.\n9.2 To this end, we provide training as part of our induction process for new joiners to Pharmaron and operate an ongoing training programme to make sure that employees’ knowledge and understanding of what is necessary for compliance in the context of their role is up to date. Attendance at such training is mandatory and will be recorded.\nDepartures from this Policy\n10.1 There are some very limited exemptions from data protection law, which may permit departure from aspects of this policy in certain circumstances.\n10.2 You will be given specific instructions if any exemptions are relevant to your role.\n10.3 If you think you should be able to depart from this policy in any circumstances, you must contact Stephen Lewinton via email@example.com before taking any action.", "domain": "law"}

The executors named in the will were his friend Ralph Caldwell Crafton and his nephews Henry Barrett and William Barrett; administration was granted to the first two of these, reserving power to also make a later grant to William.\nAccording to the probate register copy, Jonathan left:\n- All his household goods to his wife Ellen, aside from the oil portraits mentioned below. Any of these goods not disposed of by Ellen during her life or via her will were to go after her death to his residuary legatees (i.e. those people whom his will said would get the rest of his estate after all other legacies had been dealt with).\n- Oil portraits of himself and his previous wife to his nephew William, though Ellen was permitted to keep possession of these during her lifetime if she wanted to.\n- Up to £300 of the money in his bank account to Ellen.\n- The use of his house and garden (185 London Road) to Ellen for the rest of her life.\n- An annuity of £100/year to his executors on trust to pay it to his sister-in-law Elizabeth [surname unclear] during her life, and after that for it to form part of his residuary estate.\n- £200 to each of his executors for their work.\n- Twelve guineas each to:\n- The wives and children of his six nephews and of Ralph Caldwell Crafton.\n- The husband and children of his niece Rachel Hancock.\n- Various amounts of money to his servants and other persons.\n- Various amounts of money to various societies and institutions.\n- His share of a farm in Sussex (that had formed part of his marriage settlement) to his eight nephews and nieces.\n- £50 each to various relatives and friends.\n- His shares in the Lambeth Water Works to his executors on trust to pay the income to Ellen’s sisters Maria and Caroline and his friend Benjamin Drabwell Bell during their lifetimes.\n- Small sums of money to up to 200 “respectable persons” who were to be chosen by his executors, guided by Ellen, on the basis of certain listed stipulations.\n- Any property for which he was the mortgagee or trustee to his executors subject to the existing agreements relating to that property.\n- Everything else not already disposed of to his executors on trust to\nsell them off at their discretion; use the money to pay his funeral expenses,\ndebts, legacies, and duty on legacies; and then invest the remainder.\nThe income from these investments, along with anything not sold, was to be\nused as follows:\n- To go to Ellen during her lifetime.\n- After Ellen’s death, to go to any children that she and Jonathan might have had (implying that at the time of writing they had none) who reached the age of 21.\n- If there were no such children, to be divided between his brother Jeremiah, his six nephews Henry, Richard, Joseph, William, John, and Jeremiah, and his niece Rachel Hancock. (Note however that this was changed by the codicil summarised below.)\nHe also gave some directions regarding the handling of any debt his brother Jeremiah might owe him when he died, and the procedures to be followed if new trustees needed to be appointed.\nJonathan’s first codicil is not included in the register, due to having been revoked, but his second codicil made some changes to the above:\n- Additional monetary legacies were left to four more servants.\n- His residuary estate after Ellen’s death was now not to be divided equally between Jeremiah, the nephews, and Rachel, but half was to go to Jeremiah’s four children in equal shares and the other half was to go to his other brother Richard’s three children in equal shares.\n- Jeremiah was to receive £1000 in lieu of being included in this redistribution.\nBelow is my transcription of the probate register copy of the will. Bold and italic formatting reflect the different writing styles used in the document, and I have added paragraph breaks to make it easier to read.\nThis is the last Will and Testament of me Jonathan Barrett formerly of Kings Head Court Beech Street in the City of London but now of Broad Green Croydon in the County of Surrey\nI give to my dear wife Ellen Barrett all my household furniture plate

In many cases, aviation law is considered a matter of international law due to the nature of air travel. However, the business aspects of airlines and their regulation also fall under aviation law. In the United States, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) governs applied aspects of flight. In the international realm, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) provides general rules and mediates international concerns to an extent regarding aviation law. The ICAO is a specialized agency of the United Nations.\nThis highly specialized field of law encompasses most facets of air travel, as well as the operation and regulation of business issues relating to air travel, which requires a comprehensive knowledge of FAA regulations, specific laws regarding flight, and an in depth understanding of aviation. Aviation law pertains to nearly all individuals connected to the operation and maintenance of aircraft.The practice of Aviation law is a large area of the law. It can include but is not limited to litigation on behalf of families who are suffering from loss or injury due to an aircraft tragedy and the defense of an aviation professional accused of violating Federal Aviation Regulations. Most all aspects of aviation law fall under the oversight of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).\nAlthough, air traffic regulation polices, laws and administrative agencies have been created by both federal and state government, with certain restrictions preventing states from regulating routes, services, or the rates of all air carriers authorized to provide interstate air transportation by the Federal Aviation Act. States may alter existing remedies and enact state laws consistent with federal mandate, though. Additionally, Federal law does not preempt state products liability law, and more often than not, in most defective product cases, aviation manufacturers may be held strictly liable.", "domain": "law"}

What are the differences between the Nigerian elections and that of the US? Here are some of them:\n1. Direct and indirect voting\nThe US elections focuses on indirect voting, while Nigeria uses the direct voting method. How? While in Nigeria, voters come out and cast their votes state by state for the candidate or party of their choice, the votes are then collated and counted.\nIn the US, citizens who are registered to vote in one of the fifty states or Washington, D.C. cast ballots for members of the U.S. Electoral College, known as electors. These electors then in turn cast direct votes, known as electoral votes, in their respective state capitals for President and Vice President.\nSo in essence, US elections are decided by states and not individuals. Each of the states casts as many electoral votes as the total number of Senators and House Representatives in Congress, while Washington, D.C. has three votes.\n2. Exceptional cases\nDespite the effort put into making the election process smooth, sometimes there are exceptional cases, these are handled differently depending on the country.\nIn the US, if no candidate receives an absolute majority of votes for President, the House of Representatives chooses the president; if no candidate receives a majority for vice president, then the senate chooses the vice president.\nIn Nigeria, if no candidate satisfies the requirement, a second election will be held between the two leading candidates within seven days from the pronouncement of the result.\nIn the US, the day a presidential inauguration occurs is known as “Inauguration Day” and occurs on January 20 or 21st if the 20th is a Sunday. Prior to the Twentieth Amendment, the inauguration date was March 4.\nIn Nigeria, May 29 is Democracy Day and it is also the national inauguration day. This public holiday commemorates the restoration of democracy in the Federal Republic of Nigeria, when the newly elected Olusegun Obasanjo took office as the President of Nigeria in May 1999 ending multiple decades of military rule that began in 1966 and had been interrupted only by a brief period of democracy from 1979 to 1983.\n4. Number of parties\nIn the US, the political parties with federal representation are: Democratic, Republican and Independent. Usually the presidential race falls between Democratic and Republican candidates.\nIn Nigeria, the political parties are more numerous, some of them are:\n– Advanced Congress of Democrats (ACD)\n– Alliance for Democracy (AD)\n– All Progressives Congress (APC)\n– African Democratic Congress (ADC)\n– All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA)\n– All People’s Party (APP)\n– African Renaissance Party [ARP]– Conscience People’s Congress [CPC]– Communist Party of Nigeria (CPN)\n– Citizens Popular Party (CPP)\n– Democratic Alternative (DA)\n– Democratic Socialist Movement (DSM)\n– Fresh Democratic Party (FDP)\n– Labour Party [LP]– Masses Movement of Nigeria (MMN)\n– National Conscience Party (NCP)\n– New Democrats (ND)\n– National Democratic Party (NDP)\n– People’s Democratic Party (PDP)\nThe main political parties are the PDP and APC.\nIn Nigeria, a person shall be qualified for election to the office of President if:\n(a) he is a citizen of Nigeria by birth;\n(b) he has attained the age of forty years;\n(c) he has been educated up to at least School Certificate level or its equivalent.\n(d) service in the public or private sector in the Federation in any capacity acceptable to the Independent National Electoral Commission for a minimum of ten years.\nWhile, in the US, the requirements are:\nNo person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty-five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States.\nAlso, no person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.", "domain": "law"}

Participants must also be prepared to follow the process.\nFamily dispute resolution has many benefits including:\n- a saving in money and time as it is less costly and faster than the court process\n- the promotion of co-operation and communication, which enhances the ongoing parenting relationship\n- the provision of a structure in which future disputes can be resolved more readily\n- the individual’s control in the decision-making process is maintained as there are no imposed decisions\n- less stress or trauma than court proceedings\n- a more effective means of conflict resolution and greater longevity as people are less likely to breach agreements that they have made themselves.\nThe alternatives to Family Dispute Resolution are to seek Arbitration (a less formal legal alternative than going to court), instruct lawyers to negotiate agreements on your behalf, commence court proceedings or resolve the issues directly yourselves.\nFamily Dispute Resolution Certificates\nIf you want to apply to the court for a parenting order, you will need a certificate from a registered Family Dispute Resolution practitioner to confirm that an attempt at Family Dispute Resolution was made.\nAll Relationships Australia Family Dispute Resolution practitioners are registered. To find your nearest Relationships Australia practitioner, see our list of office locations or phone us on 1300 364 277.\nThere are some exceptions to the requirement for a certificate, including cases involving family violence or child abuse. For more information visit the Australian Government’s Family Relationships Online website at www.familyrelationships.gov.au\nA fair share: Negotiating your property settlement DVD\n‘A Fair Share’ DVD is a training resource for family mediators engaged in property mediation.\nThe 90 minute DVD is a companion resource to the booklet of the same name.\nThe DVD and booklet provide:\n- a snapshot of intake and assessment interviews with both parties\n- an outline of mediation sessions\n- an outline of legal interviews with both parties\n- examples of private sessions with both parties; and\n- commentary from a court registrar.\nThe DVD highlights the different approaches to property mediation currently used in Australia.

Now that a few days have passed, I feel compelled to document my memory of it before I forget some of the finer details.\nFirst of all, it was an experience of a lifetime. The trial lasted over three hours (from 10:30am until after 1:30pm) and the arguments were somewhat subtle and complex.\nI arrived at the court shortly after 8am to watch the trials that were scheduled before mine. Unfortunately, nothing all that interesting happened in the court before my trial. There were a few noise ordinance defendants waiting in the court when I got there, but the charges against them were dropped before they ever went to trial.\nThere was a trial scheduled at 10am for a fence that was constructed without a permit. That trial actually proceeded. However, the defendant was not at all familiar with court procedures, so it was not a very interesting show. He did not call a single witness nor present a single piece of evidence. He was even reluctant to testify himself, but finally took the stand after some coaxing from the judge.\nAfter I was arraigned in August, I contacted the court and asked about upcoming trials. I had hoped to watch a few trials before going to trial myself so that I could observe some of the court customs and procedures. Watching one lame-duck trial one-half hour before my own trial was not exactly what I had in mind, though it was certainly better than nothing. At least I got to see where the prosecuting attorney stood and how he addressed the judge.\nThe judge was Thomas Wheeler, and elected official in our Village. Ironically, I ran for the position of Village Justice in the 2004 election against him. He won, of course, but now I was standing trial before my former opponent.\nRight before my trial, the court room began filling up with spectators. Two news reporters (Robert Snow from the <EM>Potsdam-Massena Courier-Observer</EM> and Dave Winters of the <EM>Watertown Daily Times</EM>) were present for the entire 3-hour trial. Eight other spectators, all my friends or family, were also present (though some left before the end of the trial).\nWhen it came time for my trial, the prosecution waived their right to an opening statement, so I gave my statement. I explained that the testimony and evidence would show that the mowing ordinance violated the equal protection and free speech clauses of the U.S. and New York constitutions. During my statement, I handed the judge a copy of my memorandum of law.\nAfter my statement, the prosecution (lead by Peter Lekki, the Village attorney) called their first and only witness: Code Enforcement Officer John Hill. During direct examination, Officer Hill talked about how he noticed that our property was in violation of the mowing ordinance (on his own---he never received any complaints from our neighbors).\nI then cross-examined Officer Hill and brought out some points about the law itself, as well as bits of Hill's history with other natural landscapes in our area. During this cross-examination, I had the original notice that Hill served us in 2004 admitted into evidence.\nSince the prosecution called no further witnesses, it was my turn to present my defense.\nI first called myself as a witness. I testified about our intentions of natural landscaping on our property, about the signs we posted, and about the statement that we were trying to make. One of our signs was admitted into evidence. I then prepared to present a 22-photograph survey that I had taken of nearby properties against which the Village was not enforcing the ordinance. The judge sent the court into recess while I set up my equipment.\nI then presented my photographs along with my live testimony to narrate them. The photographs focused on four properties, all within a half mile from our house, and all in the Village limits, that had grass in violation of the mowing ordinance. I complained to Village officials about these properties in 2004 and 2005, but they never did anything about them.\nWhen my \"direct\" testimony was finished, the prosecution got to cross-examine me. Mr. Lekki tried to show that my landscaping was not intentional cultivation. Once it became clear that I was actively cultivating my landscape, he tried to show that my activities were not very natural. He asked me if I was aware that some of the properties shown in my photo survey had been hayed off (harvested for hay) in the recent past. I told him that as far as I knew, this was not the case.\nAfter I was cross-examined, I called Richard Grover as an expert witness. He was perhaps the strongest feature of my defense. His testimony established that landscaping was an art form, a form of expression, and that it could be used to communicate with others. He also testified about the environmental impacts of traditional landscaping and the environmental benefits of natural landscaping. He also indicated that the mowing ordinance was unreasonable to enforce against people who were trying to cultivate meadows.\nDuring the cross-examination, Mr. Lekki tried to get Mr. Grover to agree that local laws should always be obeyed. Mr. Grover disagreed, saying that there were some laws on the books that were unreasonable, and sometimes alternatives (such as natural landscaping) need to be demonstrated to challenge the laws. There was also quite a bit of squabbling during Mr. Grover's cross-examination over the exact situations in which a 10-inch rule would be reasonable.\nToward the end of Mr. Grover's cross-examination, the prosecution tried to introduce a piece of surprise evidence: a complaint letter submitted of Officer Hill in September of 2005 about a possible visual obstruction created by our landscaping. I had never heard from any Village official that such a complaint had been received. Officer Hill was brought back to the stand by the prosecution to provide foundation testimony about the letter.\nI objected to the letter because the prosecution never disclosed its existence to me before the trial (surprise evidence is forbidden by law) and because the letter was hearsay (out-of-court statements being accepted for their truth). Mr. Lekki argued that the letter was a business document (one of several exceptions to the hearsay rule). However, the judge still threw the letter out of evidence. This was a big triumph for me, especially since I am not a lawyer.\nAt that point, I ask the judge for permission to re-cross-examine Officer Hill in light of this new issue being raised. The judge told me that I could call Officer Hill, but that he would be my witness (direct examination). I asked Hill about the visual obstruction ordinance, which turned out to be a height limit of 3 feet for landscaping features near corners. I also asked him about a visual obstruction case concerning one of our neighbor's properties. Hill's testimony during this examination demonstrated that he never told me that there was a potential visual obstruction on our property, even after receiving a complaint.\nAfter my second questioning of Officer Hill, the judge indicated that the trial was over and Mr. Lekki was given 30 days to file a response to my memorandum. There was also some discussion about summations, but I had never heard that term before. I asked about my chance for a closing statement, and the judge informed me that the summations would serve this purpose. I then understood that my closing argument was supposed to be submitted in writing.\nAfter the trial, I was interviewed by the newspaper reporters. Stories appeared the next day in both papers, and one of the stories was even on the front page (above the fold).\n|by Sergej M.||Sunday, January 15, 2006 [12:43 pm]|\nThank you for sharing your story.", "domain": "law"}

It is even more unfortunate if a removed individual could have avoided removal if only he or she had the assistance of a qualified and skilled Arizona Immigration Attorney.\nCommon Reasons for Removal\nThere are a number of reasons why an individual may face removal from the United States, and those reasons typically fall into the categories of criminal conduct and violations of United States immigration laws and regulations. Individuals who are residing illegally in the United States likely understand the reason why they may be removed from the United States. However, individuals who are lawfully residing in the United States, but have a criminal track record, are subject to possible removal depending on the nature and severity of the crime. Even what may seem like a minor crime can be grounds for removal.\nPotential Options for Avoiding Removal from the United States\nWhatever the reason may be for why United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has initiated removal proceedings against an individual, there are a number of ways to avoid removal, including, but not necessarily limited to, the following:\n- Becoming a citizen through the naturalization process – In limited circumstances, a qualifying individual may be eligible to seek citizenship during removal proceedings, and this could prevent removal entirely.\n- Cancellation of removal – You have the option to file a petition challenging the decision to initiate removal proceedings against you. In order to qualify for cancellation of removal, stringent requirements must be met.\n- Asylum-based release from removal – If you are a refugee or asylee, you may be able to avoid removal if you are able to prove that leaving the United States would result in greater harm to you.\n- Voluntary Departure – If removal seems inevitable, you may have the option of voluntarily departing from the United States. This may provide you with the opportunity to lawfully reenter the United States in the future, after going through an application process.\nImmigration judges have wide discretion when determining whether or not an individual should be removed from the United States. While quite a few individuals are ultimately removed from the United States, it is essential to fight removal if at all possible alongside a Tucson Immigration Attorney highly familiar with the removal process. Don’t take the risk of tackling a removal proceeding on your own.\nContact the Tucson Immigration Attorneys of AZ Criminal Defense Group, PLLC Today\nFacing removal proceedings is a frightening experience both for the individual facing removal or deportation, and that individual’s loved ones.

In the 1970s and 80s, Time Square was not the entertainment mecca it is known for today; instead, it was the habitation of sex, crime, and violence.\nIn the documentary, investigators and police officials detailed the timeline, motive, and background of Richard Cottingham. While scholars like Dr. Melinda Chateauvert described the history and vulnerabilities sex workers face when “walking the blade.” Her perspective, though informed, diluted the realities of sex work. Accentuating the importance of political correctness, Dr. Chateauvert cared more about utilizing the term “sex worker” than calling attention to sex work as a survival strategy for vulnerable groups. To her, sex work was a choice, but nothing explained the parameters influencing that choice. As feminists and sex workers advocate for the decriminalization of sex work, I wanted to listen and understand why.\nFor three days, I listened to TED talks, group discussions, and news debates advocating for or against the decriminalization of sex work. I also spent an extra day reading New Zealand’s Prostitution Reform Act of 2003. I could have done more research, but I believe I have a comprehensive basis for understanding the main arguments of both sides. If I did not, it is your purpose as the reader to inform me. This blog was not created to discredit but to inform and inquire.\nTo begin, let us learn about the current governance structures of the sex work industry:\nCriminalization: The prohibition of sexual solicitation, brothel-keeping, the purchase of sexual services, and living off the earnings of sexual labor (Open Society Foundation, para. 1).\nPartial Decriminalization: Governmental authorities control the legalities of specific laws, codes, and regulations associated with the sex industry. In the United Kingdom, The Policing and Crime Act of 2009 legalizes in-house prostitution and outcall escort services. However, brothel-keeping, street solicitation, and working in a group of two or more is illegal (Parliament of the United Kingdom, part 2).\nThe Nordic Model of Sex Work: Reduces the demand of sex trafficking through the prosecution of sexual consumers and arbitrators and the augmentation of worker support services (Nordic Model Now, para.1).\nLegalization: A set of laws, codes, and regulations specific to the sex industry; anyone who buys or sells sex outside of these rules will be subject to arrest (Decriminalize Sex Work, para. 1).\nDecriminalization: The removal of laws and policies penalizing sex work; laws protecting the rights of sexual consumers, producers, and related third parties. Sexual solicitation, brothel-keeping, the purchase of sexual services, and living off the earnings of sexual labor are permitted (Amnesty International, question 4).\nArguments for the decriminalization of sex work\nAdvocates for the decriminalization of sex work believe decriminalization promotes the autonomy, safety, protection, and freedom of the sex worker. Sex workers could dictate hours of operation, cost of service, and clientele without punishment. Laws would focus on sexual health, workers’ rights, and legal protections. The lack of criminality would reduce interpersonal violence, crime, and recidivism; sex work would genuinely become an option.\nIn the opinions of sex workers and allies, the criminality of sex work results from systemic oppression. The sex worker is always prosecuted, not the consumer or arbitrator of sexual services. Prohibitionist laws criminalizing sex work jeopardize the safety of the sex worker. The criminalization of the sex industry is what produces the vices of sex trafficking, not the act of sex itself. Legislators are advised to create laws against the evils of sex, not the entire sex industry. The conservative values of prohibitionist laws detract from the harsh reality that sex work is the only survival strategy for many vulnerable groups.\nThe ones who did it first: The Prostitute Reform Act 2003\nIn 2003, parliament member Tim Barnett and the New Zealand Prostitute Collective proposed the Prostitute Reform Act to remove laws punitively targeting the sex industry. The act's proponents ensured collective working groups, protected workers’ rights, and the accountability of managers, operators, and consumers of commercialized sexual services. The specifics of the act can be read in your spare time. From the surface, the law is receptive to the needs and protection of sex workers... so long as the sex workers are citizens of New Zealand.\nReferencing the immigration restrictions of the act contradicts the argument for decriminalization. Sex work is a survival strategy for disenfranchised groups; therefore, exploitation will occur if decriminalization criminalizes the vulnerable. According to Part 2, section 19 of the act, visas are not granted to immigrant sex workers, prostitute business operators, or prostitute business investors. Temporary entry visas or residential visa holders cannot provide, operate, or invest in commercial sexual services and will be deported on reasonable grounds (Prostitute Reform Act, 2003).\nBennachie and associates (2021) researched the impact of section 19 on migrant sex workers. Because of the Immigration Act of 2009, migrant sex workers are targeted by sexual humanitarian antitrafficking law enforcement initiatives, immigration patrol, and the local police (Bennachie et al., 2021). Intimidated by these local entities, migrant sex workers are apprehensive about reporting sexual crimes or health complications due to the fear of deportation (Bennachie et al., 2021). This not only results in an elevation of health risks, but citizens can repeatedly commit violent crimes without fear of the law.\nAccording to the United States 2021 Trafficking in Person Report, New Zealand lacks an understanding of the different forms of trafficking (para.1). The government does not report adult victims of sex trafficking, nor has prosecutions been made for labor trafficking for the second consecutive year (US Department of State et al., 2021). Convictions of child sex traffickers have increased, but many traffickers are sentenced to home detention (US Department of State et al., 2021). The government’s inability to recognize trafficking trends and adjudicate appropriately weakens the survivor’s protection, undercuts the effort to hold traffickers accountable, and inadequately addresses the nature of a crime(US Department of State et al., 2021).\nI would not support the decriminalization of sex work. Advocation for the movement lacks consistency and the inability to define the meaning of sex work. The commodification of sex dilutes the emotional, spiritual, and social implications. The idea of engaging in sex as a job requirement has greater influences than personal choice. Making a choice does not determine confident and secure thought. Age, gender, trauma history are the few but salient determinants that can negatively influence the freedom of choice. Even if one decides to become a sex worker conscientiously, their decisions directly and indirectly impact the environment.\nPersonal feelings aside, in comparing the United State's governance structure with other countries, decriminalization did not decrease or eradicate violence against sex workers. A new group or industry is criminalized, perpetuating oppression differently. This comes as no surprise because advocates have yet to address whether there will be enough willing participants to meet the demands of sex?\nAmnesty International. (2021, June 30).

Before SB 118, Head Start teachers were not afforded this same tuition reduction even though, in some instances, the head start teachers were in the same building as K-12 teachers.\nSB118, introduced by Senator Erin Tobin (District 21 – Winner) and Representative Rebecca Reimer (District 26B – Chamberlain), added Head Start teachers to the list of those qualifying for the reduced tuition. Senator Tobin discussed the idea with a constituent and Head Start employee and decided to move forward with the proposal, stating this was good for those who want to stay in their community and teach as well as the teacher workforce in general.\nThe South Dakota Head Start Association (SDHSA) was excited to work on the idea with Senator Tobin and Representative Reimer. “This proposal was exciting to work on during the legislative session,” stated Katie Sieverding, Executive Director of SDHSA. “The way the idea came to fruition is an excellent example of the legislative process and creating needed change for our teachers.”\nSB 118 was signed by the Governor on March 23, 2023, and is in effect as of July 1st.

Further in my journey the Lord opened my eyes not only to Jesus as the source of life (power), but also as the goal or focus of life (leader). This is a vital correction. Without this understanding you look to Jesus as the power to get to your version of how you think things should play out—as if those things are better than Jesus. But Jesus is the goal, and when you access Him, things play out right.\nI find that many who use the terminology of the Spirit-filled life get derailed because in practice they are still looking to the law as their leader. This is not the obvious self-reliance which they now rightly warn against, but the more subtle self-reliance that comes unwittingly when you look to the law as the leader instead of the Spirit.\nThe Scripture says, “If ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law” (Gal. 5:18). “But the fruit of the Spirit is love” (Gal. 5:22). When this is the case “all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself” (Gal. 5:14).\nThe bottom line is no one can serve two leaders. Do you look to the law as your leader or to the Spirit? The Scripture clarifies that in salvation, there is a leadership change. “The law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster….And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts” (Gal. 3:24-4:6). The law leads sinners to Christ, but the Spirit leads saints in Christ. Therefore, once you’re saved, don’t look to the law as your leader, look to the Spirit. We have the ultimate leader—God Himself—Not just with us, but in us!\nSo what is our relationship to the law? “The law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good” (Rom. 7:12). But like the Psalmist, we must love the Lord, which is a matter of focus, and as a result of that relationship, we love His law. When we love the Lord, we walk with Him. When we keep in step with the Spirit, trusting His power to obey His leadership, He imparts to us the life of Christ. “The fruit of the Spirit is love … against such there is no law.” The fruit of the Spirit never violates the law, because the fruit of the Spirit is love, and love fulfills the law.\nIf you are led of the Spirit, you are not under the law. Some acknowledge this and then in essence say you really are. But the version of law-living varies from person to person and church to church, picking and choosing certain aspects of the law, but dismissing others. But if you choose part of the law, then you’re under the obligation to keep it all (Gal. 3:10).\nYou cannot have two leaders. Either you’re under the law’s leadership or you’re under the Spirit’s leadership. And the law without the Spirit kills (2 Cor. 3:6). It brings you into the frustration and disillusionment of Romans 7. If you look to the law for leadership, that means you are not looking to the Spirit. Your focus reveals your dependence. When you look unto Jesus, the Spirit authors faith in your heart (Heb. 12:2). God-focus leads to God-dependence. But if you look to the law for leadership, then that law-focus reveals a law-dependence, which is ultimately flesh-dependence—your attempt to obey the law in your own strength. But the law kills and the flesh fails.\nHowever, when you allow the Spirit to convince you that you really are a saint, that you really have been liberated from the old master of indwelling sin, and that the indwelling Christ really is your victory, so that you yield to His leadership and power, at that point, sin will not have dominion over you, because you are not under the law, but under grace (Rom. 6:1-14). In contrast, if you look to the law for leadership, then you are no longer under grace—Spirit-enabling. But when you yield to the Spirit, trusting in His power, you’re under grace. Grace enables you, so that sin will not have dominion over you.\nSome fear that if you don’t emphasize the law, everyone will go crazy into sin. But this thinking reveals blatant unbelief in the Holy Spirit—the real leader. How tragic! The reality is if you emphasize the Spirit, so people really look to His leadership, He never leads them to indulge the flesh. What a wonderful relationship between law and grace!\nJohn Van Gelderen\nAbout This Blog\nHello, I’m John Van Gelderen.

Yet, since the 1970s, getting cocaine to the U.S. has been as short as a 1,400-mile flight from Medellin to Miami.\nSurely, the proximity to the world’s burgeoning cocaine market played a role in making Colombia the world’s main supplier, but it is worth noting that when cocaine was legal, Colombia had nothing to do in exporting or processing it, nor even providing the raw ingredient of coca leaves. Rather, it seems that the predisposition of certain segments of society in some Latin American countries like Colombia and Mexico to leverage their cultures of a weak rule of law for the benefit of illicit activities facilitated Colombian and Mexican organized crime’s entrance into the cocaine trade. It’s probably not a coincidence that in addition to cocaine, Colombia is one of the world’s main producers of counterfeit U.S. dollars, Euros and passports, as well as one of the main exporters of prostitutes to Europe.\nBy the late 1970s, cocaine culture was firmly planted within the U.S. Over 18.6% of young adults admitted to trying the drug and 8.9% described themselves occasional users. As with heroin, many addicts would spend substantial amounts of their disposable income on cocaine, destroying their careers and ending up in and out of rehab. The U.S. government’s spending to grapple with cocaine consumption, especially on the supply side by fighting the Colombian cartels grew from $2.5 million in 1978 to $289 million by 1999. From the inception of Plan Colombia in 2000 until 2012, the U.S. government spent $8 billion on that program alone. Cocaine consumption eventually peaked in 1985, and steadily declined until 1993, where it would remain relatively stable until it declined again from 2007 to 2012, however, recently it is showing signs of picking up.", "domain": "law"}

It says that that's what people want, despite the fact that I'm a well-known defense attorney,'' Goodman told supporters.\nHis victory was almost a foregone conclusion although he was dubbed the ``mouthpiece for the mob'' after a 30-year legal career representing legendary figures like the Mafia's alleged financial maestro Meyer Lansky.\nHe played himself in the movie ``Casino'' but bristles at being called a Mob lawyer, claiming that only 5 percent of his clients were reputed Mafia figures. They included Anthony ``the Ant'' Spilotro who was suspected of more than 20 killings, and Philadelphia mob underboss Philip Leonetti.\nDespite years of close scrutiny by the authorities, Goodman has never been charged with a crime.\n``I'm proud of what I've done. I'm not ashamed of anything,'' he said recently.\n``I've made America a better place by making sure the Constitution is upheld. If you can assure an unpopular person's rights are protected, the average person gets the spillover effect of that.''\nGoodman, whose more recent clients have included boxer Mike Tyson and singer LaToya Jackson, has no political experience. But he succeeded in presenting himself as an outsider in touch with the people in a city keen to shake off its sleazy image and reinvent itself as a center for family entertainment.\nHe brought charisma and energy to a campaign centered on a pledge to make developers of the glitzy casino resort pay more to help clean up dilapidated neighborhoods.\nGoodman began his legal career in Las Vegas in 1964 and his big break came when he was hired to represent 19 bookmakers who were targeted by a federal wiretapping operation that spanned 26 cities.\nGoodman discovered that then-U.S. Attorney General John Mitchell had illegally authorized the wiretaps. As a result, the charges against Goodman's clients were dismissed and Goodman's reputation as a lawyer for organized crime offenders was established.\nOver the years, Goodman has not hidden his animosity toward the FBI, once declaring that he would rather his daughter dated Spilotro than date an FBI agent.\nRetired undercover FBI agent Rick Baken, who in 1978 infiltrated the Las Vegas Mafia, said the voters of Las Vegas had chosen a ``real wild card.''\n``He's an intelligent fellow. He's not a respecter of persons. He's got all the money he needs, so he can't be swayed by moneyed interests. He's either going to be the best mayor Las Vegas ever had or the worst, because I know Oscar and he's not going to be anywhere in the middle,'' Baken told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.\nCopyright 1999 Reuters Limited.

Not only was he eventually acquitted of the crime, but a royal commission inquiry into his wrongful conviction found that a non-aboriginal youth would not have been convicted in the first place.\nDonald became a First Nations activist and later won a landmark court case in favour of native fishing rights. He was often referred to as the \"reluctant hero\" of the Mi'kmaq community.\nThis resource uses dialogue based on official court transcripts and witness statements.\nThis resource contains language which, used out of the context of the novel, could be offensive.

It may be difficult for US holders of shares to enforce their rights and any claims they may have arising under the US federal securities laws in connection with the Possible Offer, since Wood is located in a country other than the United States, and some or all of their officers and directors may be residents of countries other than the United States.

Forward-looking statements are statements of future expectations that are based on management's current expectations and assumptions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in these statements. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements concerning the potential exposure of Wood and the Wood Group to market risks, statements as to accretion and statements expressing management’s expectations, beliefs, estimates, forecasts, projections and assumptions, including as to future potential cost savings, synergies, earnings, return on average capital employed, production and prospects. These forward-looking statements are identified by their use of terms and phrases such as \"anticipate\", “aims”, \"believe\", \"could\", \"estimate\", \"expect\", \"goals\", “hopes”, \"intend\", \"may\", \"objectives\", \"outlook\", \"plan\", \"probably\", \"project\", \"risks\", \"seek\", \"should\", \"target\", \"will\", “would” and similar terms and phrases.\nForward-looking statements are based on assumptions and assessments made by Wood in light of their experience and their perception of historical trends, current conditions, future developments and other factors they believe appropriate. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty, because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future and the factors described in the context of such forward-looking statements in this Disclaimer could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements. Although it is believed that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct and readers are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.\nFor a discussion of important factors which could cause actual results to differ from forward-looking statements in relation to the Group, refer to the 2021 Annual Report and Accounts.\nAll forward-looking statements contained in this Microsite are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Readers should specifically consider the additional factors identified in this Microsite, Wood’s annual report, interim results, trading statements and other announcements (available at graduate.emrforhospitals.com) that could cause actual results to differ before taking any action in respect of the Possible Offer. All of the forward-looking statements contained in this Microsite are qualified by these cautionary statements.\nEach forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of the relevant document within which the statement is contained. None of Wood or the Wood Group undertakes any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise except to the extent legally required, and, in particular, Wood will comply with its obligation to publish further updated information as required by law or by a regulatory authority. In light of these risks, results could differ materially from those stated, implied or inferred from the forward-looking statements contained in this Microsite.\nUnless expressly stated otherwise, no statement contained or referred to in this Microsite is intended to be a profit forecast.\nIn relation to any Possible Offer related materials accessible on this Microsite please note any statement of responsibility contained therein.\nThe documents included in this Microsite issued or published by Wood speak only at the specified date of the relevant document and Wood has, and accepts, no responsibility or duty to update or revise such documents.\nIn relation to any such announcements or other Possible Offer related materials issued or published by Apollo, or which relate to Apollo or its groups, that are accessible on this website, the only responsibility accepted by Wood and its directors is for the correctness and fairness of its reproduction.\nNeither the directors of Wood, nor Wood, nor any of their affiliated companies, have reviewed, and no such person is or shall be responsible for or accepts any liability in respect of, any information contained on any other website which may be linked to or from this Microsite.\nIf you are in any doubt about the contents of this Microsite or the action you should take, you should seek your own financial advice from an independent financial adviser authorised under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (as amended) or, if you are located outside the UK, from an appropriately authorised independent financial adviser.\nThis notice shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law.\nConfirmation of understanding and acceptance\n- I have read and understood the notice set out above and I agree to be bound by its terms.\n- I am not (nor do I act on behalf of someone who is) resident in any country that renders the accessing of the materials on this website or parts of it illegal.\n- I will not print, download, or otherwise seek to copy, mail, forward, distribute or send any of the materials on this Microsite to any other person at any time.\n- I represent and warrant to Wood that I intend to access this Microsite for information purposes only.\nIf you are not able to give these confirmations, you should click on I DECLINE below.", "domain": "law"}

Remind them that if they feel like they’re ever in an unsafe situation, reiterate that it is not their fault and you are always there to help them.\n- Monitor children’s behavior for common signs of online abuse.\nIf your child is experiencing an increase in nightmares, withdrawn behavior, angry outbursts, anxiety, depression, not wanting to be left alone with an individual or sexual knowledge, it could be a sign that they’re being harassed by a sexual predator.\n- Review all apps on their devices.\nTalk to your child regularly about their favorite websites and apps. Review and approve games and apps before they are downloaded. Additionally, make sure privacy settings are set to the strictest level possible for online gaming systems and electronics.\n- If you see evidence of illicit material sent to your child, contact your law enforcement agency.\nIf you believe someone is a victim of child sexual exploitation, contact your local law enforcement agency and your local FBI field office. Submit a tip online attips.fbi.gov.\n- Make sure to provide as much of the following as possible: name and/or username of the subject, email addresses, phone numbers, websites used by the suspect and all documentation of communication.\n- Download the OffenderWatch app.\nTo keep a child safer online, download the OffenderWatch Safe Virtual Neighborhood app to monitor unwanted communication from registered sex offenders. By signing up with Safe Virtual Neighborhood, parents are alerted if a registered sex offender engages their children through Snapchat, texts, phone calls or emails. Parents are also alerted if their child is near a sex offender’s home for an extended period of time.", "domain": "law"}

As a Collective Portfolio Management Investment Firm, CCAM must comply with the AIFM Remuneration Code in SYSC 19B for its AIFMD activities; and also comply with the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”)’s Remuneration Code in SYSC 19C in relation to its MiFID type activities. SYSC 19C.1.1A states that where CCAM complies with SYSC 19B, it will also be regarded as compliant with SYSC 19C. CCAM has chosen to rely on SYSC 19C.1.1A and therefore this Remuneration Policy is designed to ensure that CCAM complies with all of the AIFM Remuneration Code Principles in SYSC 19B and does not refer to SYSC 19C.\nPursuant to SYSC 19B.1.7 and 19B.1.8, CCAM’s Remuneration Policy will be reviewed annually by the governing body to ensure that it remains consistent with the Remuneration Code Principles. In addition, the Compliance Officer, as part of CCAM’s regulatory monitoring, will include a review of the implementation of this Policy by CCAM.\nFirms must establish, implement and maintain remuneration policies, procedures and practices that are consistent with and promote sound and effective risk management and which do not encourage excessive risk taking which is inconsistent with the risk profile of the Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) CCAM manages. The Principles apply to remuneration of any type, including both ‘variable’ and ‘fixed’, whether paid directly by CCAM or an AIF (including carried interest); and also to the transfer of units or shares of the AIF made to the benefits of staff. Remuneration includes any form of remuneration including salaries, discretionary pension benefits and benefits of any other kind. The Remuneration Code is concerned with the risks created by the way remuneration arrangements are structured and not with the amount of remuneration.\nThe Remuneration Code is based around nine Principles with which CCAM must comply when remunerating its Remuneration Code Staff (see below). Although as the FCA has adopted a proportionate approach in applying the Code, not all of the Principles will be relevant to CCAM (see below).\nRemuneration Code Staff comprises those categories of staff whose professional activities have a material impact on the risk profiles of CCAM or the AIFs that it manages. This includes staff engaged in control functions, risk takers, senior management, and any employees receiving total remuneration that takes them into the same remuneration bracket as senior management and risk takers. For the purpose of implementing the Code, the European Securities and Markets Authority (“ESMA”) has defined control functions as “staff (other than senior management) responsible for risk management, compliance, internal audit and similar functions within an AIFM”. Unless it can be demonstrated to the contrary, ESMA has stated in its Guidance that the following would be Remuneration Code Staff:\n- Executive and non-executive members of the governing body of the AIFM;\n- Senior management;\n- Control functions;\n- Staff responsible for heading portfolio management, administration, marketing and human resources; and\n- Other risk takers.\nThis also extends to staff of any entity to whom CCAM has delegated the AIFM activities of portfolio or risk management, and whose professional activities have a material impact on the risk profiles of the AIFs.\nCCAM has in place a record of its Remuneration Code Staff which is maintained and monitored by the Compliance Officer with oversight by the governing body. All such staff understand the implications of their status.\n3. Proportionality in application of the Remuneration Code\nCertain Principles may be disapplied when they are deemed disproportionate. These include the following Principles which are known as the Payout Process Rules: Principle 5(e) (SYSC 19B.1.17 “retention”); Principle 5(f) (SYSC 19B.1.18 “deferral”); and Principle 5(g) (SYSC 19B.1.19 & 20 “performance adjustment”). The need to have a Remuneration Committee (SYSC 19B.1.9) may also be disapplied if it is proportionate to do so.\nFCA Guidance states that a firm may begin with the presumption that they will disapply the Payout Process Rules where their AIF AUM is less than either: £1BN where assets are acquired through leverage; or £5BN where the AIF/s are unlevered and have no redemption rights for five years. CCAM’s AIF AUM is less than these thresholds and after consideration of the FCA’s suggested Proportionality Elements (see below), CCAM has determined that it is proportionate to disapply the Payout Process Rules.\nProportionality Elements: CCAM has 17 staff, it is not listed, it is predominantly owned by its partners, it manages only one AIF, it operates an equity strategy which is not complex, and its AIFs are not highly leveraged.\nWhilst appreciating the contribution that can be made by a Remuneration Committee, CCAM considers that such a body would not be proportionate given the size and non-complex nature of both its activities and organisation. Instead, CCAM’s governing body undertakes this role.\n4. CCAM’s remuneration arrangements\nCCAM’s policy on the allocation of remuneration requires that its governing body set aside a proportion of the firm’s profits to form a bonus pool out of which variable remuneration awards will be made. The size of the bonus pool will be at the discretion of the governing body, and duly recorded, giving due consideration to both the need to incentivise personnel and to the current and future risks faced by CCAM and its AIFs. It is unlikely that any awards will be made in the event of CCAM making a loss.\nThe Code is based upon nine Principles and when determining remuneration, the governing body consider this Remuneration Policy and thus ensures that all remuneration payments are made in line with the Principles as they apply to CCAM. CCAM’s approach to the Principles is set out below.\nPrinciple 1: Risk management\nCCAM has a low risk appetite and monitors the risk profiles of the funds to ensure that any investment decisions are consistent with the risk profiles of the instruments constituting the funds. CCAM does not take own positions where its own capital would be at risk. CCAM does not hold client money or assets.\nPrinciple 2: Supporting business strategy, objectives, values and interests, and avoiding conflicts of interest\nCCAM received FSA/FCA authorisation on 27/05/2005. CCAM is a London based investment management Limited Liability Partnership. CCAM currently acts as investment manager and adviser to AIFs, UCITS funds and a number of third party managed accounts. CCAM focuses on investment opportunities within Asia. Its partners and teams of investment and operations professionals have significant market experience which provides hands-on expertise in sourcing, executing and managing the investment strategy of CCAM and the funds that it manages.\nCCAM’s revenue is derived from management and performance fees and as such depends upon sound investment decisions, in line with its Clients’ interests and objectives as set out in the Client Agreements and where relevant, their constitution documents. This Remuneration Policy is in line with these values.\nCCAM has in place a Conflicts of Interest Policy and Register which have been developed and approved by the Partners. CCAM is aware of the need to ensure that its Remuneration Policy and arrangements do not give rise to any conflicts of interest.\nPrinciple 3: Governance\nAs mentioned in the ‘Introduction’, there will be an annual review undertaken by CCAM’s governing body with an independent review by the Compliance Officer. Remuneration decisions taken by the governing body will be consistent with CCAM’s financial condition and future revenues.\nPrinciple 4: Control functions\nThose engaged in control functions have been given the appropriate authority to carry out that role and, as far as possible, they are compensated according to the achievement of the objectives linked to their functions, independent from the business areas they control. To ensure independence and avoid the risk of undue influence, CCAM will ensure that the compliance function is consulted when setting the Remuneration Policy. Remuneration of senior offices in risk management and compliance functions is directly overseen by the governing body in its supervisory function.\nAs CCAM is a small firm with a limited number of personnel, it is inevitable that it will not always be possible to ensure independence. However this is recognised by CCAM and, where relevant, is referenced in its Conflicts of Interest Policy.\nIn setting remuneration levels, CCAM recognises the importance of attracting and retaining experienced staff that perform control functions.\nPrinciple 5: Remuneration structures\nAt the heart of CCAM’s Remuneration Policy is the need to ensure that the structure of an employee’s remuneration is consistent with, and promotes, sound and effective risk management and that it does not encourage risk-taking which is inconsistent with the risk profile of the instrument constituting the fund of the AIFs it manages.\nSince CCAM has determined that it is proportionate to disapply the Payout Process Rules, three elements of Principle 5 have been disapplied. However, for the sake of completeness these will be referenced below as appropriate.\nWhere remuneration is performance-related, then in addition to the performance of the individual CCAM will also take into account the performance of the business unit or AIF concerned and the overall results of CCAM. Performance assessment will not relate solely to financial criteria but will also include compliance with regulatory obligations and adherence to effective risk management. In keeping with CCAM’s long term objectives, the assessment of performance will take into account longer-term performance appropriate to the life-cycle of the AIFs where these are not already aligned. Payment of any such performance related bonuses may need to be spread over a period which takes account of the redemption policy of the AIFs it manages and their investment risks.\nIn the case of early termination of a contract any payments will reflect performance achieved over time. CCAM does not reward failure.\nCCAM does not award guaranteed variable remuneration. In exceptional circumstances such payments may need to be considered in the context of new Remuneration Code Staff. In such cases the governing body, in conjunction with the Compliance Officer, will consider and document whether such an award would be in keeping with Remuneration Principle 5 and SYSC 19B.\nCCAM sets appropriate and balanced ratios between any fixed and variable components of staff remuneration. Staff are paid sufficiently high levels of fixed remuneration compared to variable remuneration to allow the operation of a fully flexible policy on variable components, including the possibility to pay no variable remuneration.\nAs mentioned above, three elements of Principle 5 are disapplied in the case of CCAM. These concern: the need to ensure that at least 50% of any variable remuneration consists of units or shares of the AIF concerned, or equivalent ownership interests (Principle 5(e)); the need to defer at least 40% of any variable remuneration over a period of not less than three to five years (Principle 5(f)); and the need for performance adjustment (Principle 5(g)).\nPrinciple 6: Measurement of performance\nPerformance is an important factor in the calculation of any variable remuneration.\nVariable remuneration will be contracted where subdued or negative financial performance occurs. CCAM will not ordinarily make any variable remuneration awards should CCAM make a loss however in exceptional circumstances such payments may need to be considered. In such cases the governing body, in conjunction with the Compliance Officer, will consider and document whether such an award would be in keeping with Remuneration Principle 6 and SYSC 19B.\nIn both performance measuring and the allocation of variable remuneration, the governing body of CCAM will make qualitative judgements, making due recourse to CCAM’s current ICAAP. The measurement of financial performance includes consideration of all relevant types of current and future risks and the cost and quantity of capital and liquidity required.\nPrinciple 7: Pension policy\nCCAM does not offer any non-cash pension benefits.\nPrinciple 8: Personal investment strategies\nAt times it is possible that one effect of aligning an individual’s remuneration with risk is that the remuneration may be subject to downside. As this alignment is an important feature of the Remuneration Code, staff will not be permitted to use any personal hedging strategies or take out insurance contracts that would undermine this alignment. This requirement is reflected in CCAM’s Personal Account Dealing Policy.\nPrinciple 9: Avoidance of the Remuneration Code\nCCAM adheres to the Remuneration Code.\nNo variable remuneration awards will be paid through any vehicles or methods that would facilitate the avoidance of the Remuneration Code.\nThis Remuneration Policy is formally approved and adopted by CCAM’s governing body which will have ultimate responsibility for its implementation.\nApproved by the Partnership on: 18 November 2021", "domain": "law"}

Contrary to a popular belief, the French tax authorities and French tax courts do not uniquely assess French tax residence by considering the number of days spent in France; they also take into account the economic and social ties with France, potentially leading to significant tax exposure.\nAssessing French tax residency\nPursuant to article 4B of the French tax code, an individual is considered to be a French tax resident if he/she has in France his/her (i) home (“foyer”), (ii) main place of abode, (iii) place of principal working activity or business (such criterion being deemed to be fulfilled by all managing executives of a French company whose turnover exceeds 250 million euros) or (iv) center of economic interest.\nNevertheless, when an individual is deemed to be a resident of two States (because he/she meets the domestic criteria of two Countries), tax residence must be directly assessed by looking at the criteria set forth in the relevant double tax treaty. In this respect, most French double tax treaties include the OECD model type clause according to which the residence is determined through the following alternative tests: (i) one’s permanent home, (ii) one’s center of vital interest, (iii) one’s habitual abode and (iv) one’s nationality.\nAs most of these domestic and international criteria are subjective and up to interpretation, most people only focus on the habitual abode one and consider that if an individual does not spend more than 183 days in France, this individual would escape French tax residence and thus French taxes.\nThis is however not true in practice and the 183-day rule must be referred to with caution:\n- This rule is not universal: it can only apply if a double tax treaty applicable to the situation at hand contains such 183-day rule. In some cases, a treaty can exist but may not be applicable (e.g., LOB clause when the individual is not taxed on any income in one of the concerned State, remittance basis in the UK, 10-year exemption in Israel, etc.);\n- This rule may not capture all taxes at stake: it definitely applies to income tax but this may not be true for social security contribution, wealth tax, gift tax, etc.;\n- Attention should be paid to the period retained to assess the 183-day rule: calendar year, 12-month rolling period, etc.\nEven when relevant, this rule is not the sole tie-breaker and generally not the first one considered by French tax authorities and Courts.\nIndeed, as illustrated by several recent decisions, French courts often rule that an individual is a French tax resident despite the fact that one spent less than 183 days in France by focusing on one’s economic and social ties with France. On the contrary, spending more than 183 days in France does not systematically triggers the recognition of French tax residence.\nEven more, in particularly complex scenarios where the balance of interests of any kind binding an individual to France and another State is delicate, both the French tax authorities and French tax courts tend to use two or more criteria at the same time to strengthen their position considering every piece of connection with France.\nFor instance, French tax courts have recently ruled that a retired couple whose only source of income was a French retirement pension should be deemed French tax residents under French domestic law regardless of evidence supporting that they had been living in Madagascar for several years.\nSimilarly, where there were evidence supporting the effective presence of a couple both in France (e.g., secondary residence, spending 153 days in France, several French bank accounts, significant gas and electricity consumption) and in Switzerland (e.g., main residence with home staff, residence state of the couple’s daughters, regular running costs), it was finally ruled that they were residents of France on the ground that all their investments were French-sourced since they directly and indirectly owned several French operational and real estate companies.\nIn view of the diversity of factual criteria used by the French tax authorities and French tax courts to determine one’s tax residence, it is therefore necessary to pay particular attention to all the elements that would make it possible to demonstrate the existence of a connection to France and not to only focus on the 183-day criterion. This is especially important considering the different consequences resulting from being a French tax resident.\nConsequences arising from French tax residence\nSubject to the provisions of French double tax treaties, French tax residence triggers several distinct consequences relating to (i) income tax, (ii) wealth tax, (iii) inheritance tax and, as the case may be, (iv) trusts related filings.\nIndeed, French tax residents are taxable in France on their worldwide income, contrary to foreign tax residents who are solely taxed in France on their French-sourced income.\nFrench tax residents may also be liable to the French real estate wealth tax on all their real estate assets, and not only the ones located in France as for foreign tax residents, to the extent that the overall net value of said assets exceeds €1,300,000 as at 1 January of the given year.\nAdditionally, when a donor or a deceased or a beneficiary or heir is a deemed a tax resident, inheritance duties are payable on all movable or immovable property located in France or outside France which are transferred by him or to him.\nFinally, trustees have a filing obligation for trusts related to France by the French residence of their settlor or beneficiary, or if any asset held by trust is located in France.\nTo avoid this kind of extended French tax liability alongside with its numerous regular filing obligations, and given the complexity and factual nature of the analysis establishing one’s tax residence, it is advisable to seek professional advice. In particular, when someone has ties to France but has not yet considered to be a French tax resident, we strongly recommend performing such analysis to (i) confirm one’s opinion and, as the case may be, regularize one’s situation, but also to (ii) assess any tax exposure that may result from reassessment in case of a French tax audit. http://www.whitecase.com", "domain": "law"}

The fines imposed on both Uber & Grab however will not unwind the deal. The fines relate only to the businesses in Singapore, which is just one of eight markets where Uber and Grab competed.\nChiefly, the CCCS found that through the merger, Grab has raised its market share from 50 percent to 80 percent.\n“At the conclusion of its investigation, CCCS has found that the Transaction is anti-competitive, having been carried into effect, and has infringed section 54 of the Competition Act by substantially lessening competition in the ride-hailing platform market in Singapore,” the agency wrote.\nMoving forward the commission will be rolling out additional measures aimed at easing the impact of this merger on both riders and drivers. Under these measures, Grab will have to remove its existing exclusivity arrangements with taxi fleets and drivers, as well as maintain pre-merger pricing methodology and driver commission rates.\nUber will also be required to sell vehicles from its car rental arm Lion City Rentals to any potential competitor with a “reasonable offer”. Any sale of said cars to Grab will have to be approved by CCCS.\nThese measures will be suspended in the event where a competitor attains 30 percent market share for one month. Concurrently, both Uber & Grab will have their penalties lifted in the event where a competitor attains 30 percent market share for 6 consecutive months.\nRead more at: https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/transport/grab-uber-fined-13m-for-violating-competition-laws", "domain": "law"}

An employer may request an employee, subject to the conditions set forth in sections 8 and 10 of the Act and §§801.20, 801.22, 801.23, 801.24, 801.25, 801.26, and 801.35 of this part, to submit to a polygraph test, but no other type of lie detector test, only if—\n(1) The test is administered in connection with an ongoing investigation involving economic loss or injury to the employer’s business, such as theft, embezzlement, misappropriation or an act of unlawful industrial espionage or sabotage;\n(2) The employee had access to the property that is the subject of the investigation;\n(3) The employer has a reasonable suspicion that the employee was involved in the incident or activity under investigation;\n(4) The employer provides the examinee with a statement, in a language understood by the examinee, prior to the test which fully explains with particularity the specific incident or activity being investigated and the basis for testing particular employees and which contains, at a minimum:\n(i) An identification with particularity of the specific economic loss or injury to the business of the employer;\n(ii) A description of the employee’s access to the property that is the subject of the investigation;\n(iii) A description in detail of the basis of the employer’s reasonable suspicion that the employee was involved in the incident or activity under investigation; and\n(iv) Signature of a person (other than a polygraph examiner) authorized to legally bind the employer; and\n(5) The employer retains a copy of the statement and proof of service described in paragraph (a)(4) of this section for at least 3 years and makes it available for inspection by the Wage and Hour Division on request. (See §801.30(a).)\n(Approved by the Office of Management and Budget under control number 1225-0170)\n(b) For the exemption to apply, the condition of an “ongoing investigation” must be met. As used in section 7(d) of the Act, the ongoing investigation must be of a specific incident or activity. Thus, for example, an employer may not request that an employee or employees submit to a polygraph test in an effort to determine whether or not any thefts have occurred. Such random testing by an employer is precluded by the Act. Further, because the exemption is limited to a specific incident or activity, an employer is precluded from using the exemption in situations where the so-called “ongoing investigation” is continuous. For example, the fact that items in inventory are frequently missing from a warehouse would not be a sufficient basis, standing alone, for administering a polygraph test. Even if the employer can establish that unusually high amounts of inventory are missing from the warehouse in a given month, this, in and of itself, would not be a sufficient basis to meet the specific incident requirement. On the other hand, polygraph testing in response to inventory shortages would be permitted where additional evidence is obtained through subsequent investigation of specific items missing through intentional wrongdoing, and a reasonable suspicion that the employee to be polygraphed was involved in the incident under investigation. Administering a polygraph test in circumstances where the missing inventory is merely unspecified, statistical shortages, without identification of a specific incident or activity that produced the inventory shortages and a “reasonable suspicion that the employee was involved,” would amount to little more than a fishing expedition and is prohibited by the Act.\n(c)(1)(i) The terms economic loss or injury to the employer’s business include both direct and indirect economic loss or injury.\n(ii) Direct loss or injury includes losses or injuries resulting from theft, embezzlement, misappropriation, industrial espionage or sabotage. These examples, cited in the Act, are intended to be illustrative and not exhaustive. Another specific incident which would constitute direct economic loss or injury is the misappropriation of confidential or trade secret information.\n(iii) Indirect loss or injury includes the use of an employer’s business to commit a crime, such as check-kiting or money laundering. In such cases, the ongoing investigation must be limited to criminal activity that has already occurred, and to use of the employer’s business operations (and not simply the use of the premises) for such activity. For example, the use of an employer’s vehicles, warehouses, computers or equipment to smuggle or facilitate the importing of illegal substances constitutes an indirect loss or injury to the employer’s business operations. Conversely, the mere fact that an illegal act occurs on the employer’s premises (such as a drug transaction that takes place in the employer’s parking lot or rest room) does not constitute an indirect economic loss or injury to the employer.\n(iv) Indirect loss or injury also includes theft or injury to property of another for which the employer exercises fiduciary, managerial or security responsibility, or where the firm has custody of the property (but not property of other firms to which the employees have access by virtue of the business relationship). For example, if a maintenance employee of the manager of an apartment building steals jewelry from a tenant’s apartment, the theft results in an indirect economic loss or injury to the employer because of the manager’s management responsibility with respect to the tenant’s apartment. A messenger on a delivery of confidential business reports for a client firm who steals the reports causes an indirect economic loss or injury to the messenger service because the messenger service is custodian of the client firm’s reports, and therefore is responsible for their security. Similarly, the theft of property protected by a security service employer is considered an economic loss or injury to that employer.\n(v) A theft or injury to a client firm does not constitute an indirect loss or injury to an employer unless that employer has custody of, or management, or security responsibility for, the property of the client that was lost or stolen or injured. For example, a cleaning contractor has no responsibility for the money at a client bank. If money is stolen from the bank by one of the cleaning contractor’s employees, the cleaning contractor does not suffer an indirect loss or injury.\n(vi) Indirect loss or injury does not include loss or injury which is merely threatened or potential, e.g., a threatened or potential loss of an advantageous business relationship.\n(2) Economic losses or injuries which are the result of unintentional or lawful conduct would not serve as a basis for the administration of a polygraph test. Thus, apparently unintentional losses or injuries stemming from truck, car, workplace, or other similar type accidents or routine inventory or cash register shortages would not meet the economic loss or injury requirement. Any economic loss incident to lawful union or employee activity also would not satisfy this requirement. It makes no difference that an employer may be obligated to directly or indirectly incur the cost of the incident, as through payment of a “deductible” portion under an insurance policy or higher insurance premiums.\n(3) It is the business of the employer which must suffer the economic loss or injury. Thus, a theft committed by one employee against another employee of the same employer would not satisfy the requirement.\n(d) While nothing in the Act prohibits the use of medical tests to determine the presence of controlled substances or alcohol in bodily fluids, the section 7(d) exemption does not permit the use of a polygraph test to learn whether an employee has used drugs or alcohol, even where such possible use may have contributed to an economic loss to the employer (e.g., an accident involving a company vehicle).\n(e) Section 7(d)(2) provides that, as a condition for the use of the exemption, the employee must have had access to the property that is the subject of the investigation.\n(1) The word access, as used in section 7(d)(2), refers to the opportunity which an employee had to cause, or to aid or abet in causing, the specific economic loss or injury under investigation. The term “access”, thus, includes more than direct or physical contact during the course of employment. For example, as a general matter, all employees working in or with authority to enter a warehouse storage area have “access” to unsecured property in the warehouse. All employees with the combination to a safe have “access” to the property in a locked safe. Employees also have “access” who have the ability to divert possession or otherwise affect the disposition of the property that is the subject of investigation. For example, a bookkeeper in a jewelry store with access to inventory records may aid or abet a clerk who steals an expensive watch by removing the watch from the employer’s inventory records. In such a situation, it is clear that the bookkeeper effectively has “access” to the property that is the subject of the investigation.\n(2) As used in section 7(d)(2), property refers to specifically identifiable property, but also includes such things of value as security codes and computer data, and proprietary, financial or technical information, such as trade secrets, which by its availability to competitors or others would cause economic harm to the employer.\n(f)(1) As used in section 7(d)(3), the term reasonable suspicion refers to an observable, articulable basis in fact which indicates that a particular employee was involved in, or responsible for, an economic loss. Access in the sense of possible or potential opportunity, standing alone, does not constitute a basis for “reasonable suspicion”. Information from a co-worker, or an employee’s behavior, demeanor, or conduct may be factors in the basis for reasonable suspicion. Likewise, inconsistencies between facts, claims, or statements that surface during an investigation can serve as a sufficient basis for reasonable suspicion. While access or opportunity, standing alone, does not constitute a basis for reasonable suspicion, the totality of circumstances surrounding the access or opportunity (such as its unauthorized or unusual nature or the fact that access was limited to a single individual) may constitute a factor in determining whether there is a reasonable suspicion.\n(2) For example, in an investigation of a theft of an expensive piece of jewelry, an employee authorized to open the establishment’s safe no earlier than 9 a.m., in order to place the jewelry in a window display case, is observed opening the safe at 7:30 a.m. In such a situation, the opening of the safe by the employee one and one-half hours prior to the specified time may serve as the basis for reasonable suspicion. On the other hand, in the example given, if the employer asked the employee to bring the piece of jewelry to his or her office at 7:30 a.m., and the employee then opened the safe and reported the jewelry missing, such access, standing alone, would not constitute a basis for reasonable suspicion that the employee was involved in the incident unless access to the safe was limited solely to the employee. If no one other than the employee possessed the combination to the safe, and all other possible explanations for the loss are ruled out, such as a break-in, the employer may formulate a basis for reasonable suspicion based on sole access by one employee.\n(3) The employer has the burden of establishing that the specific individual or individuals to be tested are “reasonably suspected” of involvement in the specific economic loss or injury for the requirement in section 7(d)(3) to be met.\n(g)(1) As discussed in paragraph (a)(4) of this section, section 7(d)(4) of the Act sets forth what information, at a minimum, must be provided to an employee if the employer wishes to claim the exemption.\n(2) The statement required under paragraph (a)(4) of this section must be received by the employee at least 48 hours, excluding weekend days and holidays, prior to the time of the examination. The statement must set forth the time and date of receipt by the employee and be verified by the employee’s signature. This will provide the employee with adequate pre-test notice of the specific incident or activity being investigated and afford the employee sufficient time prior to the test to obtain and consult with legal counsel or an employee representative.\n(3) The statement to be provided to the employee must set forth with particularity the specific incident or activity being investigated and the basis for testing particular employees. Section 7(d)(4)(A) requires specificity beyond the mere assertion of general statements regarding economic loss, employee access, and reasonable suspicion. For example, an employer’s assertion that an expensive watch was stolen, and that the employee had access to the watch and is therefore a suspect, would not meet the “with particularity” criterion. If the basis for an employer’s requesting an employee (or employees) to take a polygraph test is not articulated with particularity, and reduced to writing, then the standard is not met. The identity of a co-worker or other individual providing information used to establish reasonable suspicion need not be revealed in the statement.\n(4) It is further required that the statement provided to the examinee be signed by the employer, or an employee or other representative of the employer with authority to legally bind the employer. The person signing the statement must not be a polygraph examiner unless the examiner is acting solely in the capacity of an employer with respect to his or her own employees and does not conduct the examination. The standard would not be met, and the exemption would not apply if the person signing the statement is not authorized to legally bind the employer.\n(h) Polygraph tests administered pursuant to this exemption are subject to the limitations set forth in sections 8 and 10 of the Act, as discussed in §§801.20, 801.22, 801.23, 801.24, 801.25, 801.26, and 801.35 of this part. As provided in these sections, the exemption will apply only if certain requirements are met. Failure to satisfy any of the specified requirements nullifies the statutory authority for polygraph test administration and may subject the employer to the assessment of civil money penalties and other remedial actions, as provided for in section 6 of the Act (see subpart E, §801.42 of this part). The administration of such tests is also subject to State or local laws, or collective bargaining agreements, which may either prohibit lie detector tests, or contain more restrictive provisions with respect to polygraph testing.", "domain": "law"}

If you have a septic tank over a certain age, this may need replacing in order to get a Habitation Certificate.\n- If the property has had any alterations or extensions e.g., a swimming pool, garage or additional bedrooms, these will need to be registered before completion, or on the day of completion. A suitable expert like an Architect will need to authorise the necessary Certificates and get the extensions/alterations registered on the deeds. You will have to pay the Architect’s fee, Notary, Land Registry and 1.5% tax of the valuation of the new build to the Government.\n- The Tax office will retain 3% of the sale price if you are a non-fiscal resident in Spain. This money can be claimed back if you have not made a gain on the property and you have paid your non-resident taxes for the last four years.\n- Plusvalia tax. This tax is similar to Capital Gains Tax. It is required to be paid by the sellers to the local town hall or tax collection office (Suma). The value of this tax depends on how many years you have owned the property and the valuation of the council tax.\n- If the property has a mortgage, it will need to be cancelled either prior to completion or on the day of completion. We can arrange this for you. If it is to be cancelled on the day of completion, the amount that you owe to the bank will be deducted from the banker’s draft that you will receive. You will also have Notary and Land Registry fees for the Cancellation Deeds. Sometimes, when buyers are purchasing with a mortgage, you will have no option other than to allow the buyer’s bank to deal with the cancelation of your mortgage.\n- If you live in a property that is part of a community, you will need to obtain a Community Certificate showing that you are up to date with all of the Community fees.\n- It can be beneficial to sign a Power of Attorney (either in Spain or the UK). The Power of Attorney gives your solicitor authority to act for you in connection with the property sale. This saves both time and money. A Power of Attorney made outside Spain will require a visit to a Public Notary to have the document certified and Apostilled. The local Notary’s costs will be settled by you directly.\nOur service for your property sale includes.\n- Drafting of the purchase contract between the buyer and you as the seller\n- Completing on the sale of your property at the Notary\n- Cancelling all direct debits connected to the property. Utilities and metre readings must be up to date until the day of completion. If you don’t have the utilities up to date or connected, the buyers’ solicitor will retain funds to re-connect all the utilities or to pay off any debts.\n- Claiming back the 3% non-resident retention. (See point 3 above). This money can be claimed back from the Tax Office if you have paid your last four years non-resident taxes and you haven’t made a profit on the property. We will check this for you and let you know if you need to pay Capital Gains Tax.\nDocuments needed to proceed.\nIf you choose Sun Lawyers to represent you on your property sale, we would need the following documents in order to proceed:\n- Purchase Deeds\n- Utility Bills (water, electricity, gas)\n- Most recent Council Tax and Rubbish collection Tax bill and proof of payment\n- Habitation, Energy and Community Certificates\n- Copies of passports and NIEs.\nWe have a competitive fee structure, please contact us so we can provide you with a tailored quotation.\nSun Lawyers has been helping people to buy and sell property in Spain for nearly 40 years.

This legislation was passed by Congress to steer a percentage of the civil penalties levied against the responsible parties of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon incident directly to the Gulf Coast states\nto assist with recovery efforts. With the third phase of the trial beginning in late January 2015, the amount of penalties that may be available to the State of Alabama and the timing of their availability remains uncertain.\nThe law specifically states that Alabama’s 10-member council will be chaired by Alabama’s Governor and co-chaired by the Director of the Alabama State Port Authority. Other members will be the chairman of the\nBaldwin County Commission, the President of the Mobile County Commission, the mayors of Bayou La Batre, Dauphin Island, Fairhope, Gulf Shores, Mobile, and Orange Beach. The Act further stipulates that qualifying projects must\nreflect at least one of the following criteria:\n- Restoration and protection of the natural resources, ecosystems, fisheries, marine and wildlife habitats, beaches, and coastal wetlands of the Gulf Coast region.\n- Mitigation of damage to fish, wildlife, and natural resources.\n- Implementation of a federally approved marine, coastal, or comprehensive conservation management plan, including fisheries monitoring.\n- Workforce development and job creation.\n- Improvements to or on state parks located in coastal areas affected by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.\n- Infrastructure projects benefitting the economy or ecological resources, including port infrastructure.\n- Coastal flood protection and related infrastructure.\n- Planning assistance.\n- Administrative costs (limited to not more than 3% of a state's allotment).\n- Promotion of tourism in the Gulf Coast Region, including recreational fishing.\n- Promotion of the consumption of seafood harvested from the Gulf Coast Region.\nIn an effort to “hit the ground running” once funds are available for expenditure, the Council has held several day-long workshops\nas well as eight public meetings to report on their activities. On December 17, 2012, the Council adopted their\nBy-laws (pdf) (amended December 8, 2014), and on May 10, 2013,\nthey passed a resolution adopting a Strategy Map and tapped the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR) to serve\nas the Administrator.

With direction and support from the Louisiana State Board of Board Certified Social Work Examiners, the material was developed by an appointed Committee made up of professional social workers with the expertise and interest in the area of child custody evaluations in the State of Louisiana.\nThe intent of this document is to provide guidance and direction in the area of performing child custody evaluations in accordance with the mandates of the Louisiana Social Work Practice Act and the Board's Rules, Regulations and Procedures.\nThe Committee consisted of the following members:\n* Gay Lynn Bond, BCSW\nCarmencita C. Edward, BCSW\n|Sherril A. Rudd, BCSW\nDiana Carroll, JD, BCSW\n|Jeanne A. Ewing, BCSW\n||Karen van Beyer, Ph.D., BCSW\nF. Noel Cieutat, JD, BCSW\n|Dianne D. Huber, BCSW\n||Alan Walker, BCSW\n|Joseph G. Delatte, Ph.D., BCSW\n||Deanna R. Miles, BCSW\n||George M. Papale, Legal Counsel\n* denotes Committee Chair\nThe primary purpose and main focus of the custody and/or visitation evaluation is to determine what is in the best interests of the child. Social workers understand the inherent conflict of this process for parents and reaffirm that their role as an evaluator is to keep children's concerns paramount. See Louisiana Civil Code Article 131, Court to Determine Custody; Article 132 Award of Custody to Parents; Article 133 Award of Custody to Person other than Parent; Order of Preference; and Article 134 Factors in Determining Child's Best Interest; and Revised Statute Article 9, part III, Child Custody Subpart A. Evaluation and Mediation and Subpart B. Joint Custody.\nSocial Workers performing evaluations should be mindful that the court shall consider all relevant factors in determining the best interests of the child. Under Civil Code Article 134, such factors may include the items listed below. This list is non-exclusive and the determination as to the weight to be given each factor is within the discretion of the trial court:\nThe love, affection, and other emotional ties between each party and the child.\nThe capacity and disposition of each party to give the child love, affection, and spiritual guidance and to continue the education and rearing of the child.\nThe capacity and disposition of each party to provide the child with food, clothing, medical care, shelter and other material needs.\nThe length of time the child has lived in a stable, adequate environment, and the desirability of maintaining the continuity of that environment.\nThe permanence, as a family unit, of the existing or proposed custodial home or homes.\nThe moral fitness of each party, insofar as it affects the welfare of the child.\nThe mental, emotional and physical health of each party.\nThe home, school, and community history of the child.\nThe reasonable preference of the child, if the court deems the child to be of sufficient age and maturity to express a preference.\nThe willingness and ability of each party to facilitate and encourage a close and continuing relationship between the child and the other party.\nThe distance between the respective residences of the parties.\nThe responsibility for the care and rearing of the child previously exercised by each party.\nFrom a social work perspective a family systems approach is utilized to assess the best interests of the child in custody evaluations. Where deemed appropriate a family systems approach includes assessment of social and community support available to the family or guardians.\nThe role of a social worker in custody and visitation evaluations is that of a mental health professional, who can assist the parties, their children, and the court by maintaining a posture that is both critical and impartial. Social workers performing such evaluation services are required to provide written reports to the parties and to the court, and to testify under oath as to factual issues or their expert opinions. Social workers should be aware of a legal preference for joint custody since it will be considered by the court in making its determination. However, operating in the best interests of the child is the social worker's primary focus throughout the evaluation process, and that focus should be maintained throughout any court proceedings as well.\nThe request for the evaluation may originate with the court, one of the parties, or an attorney representing a party in the proceedings. The social worker should be impartial in performing the evaluation regardless by whom he or she is retained. If either the social worker or the client cannot accept this neutral role, the social worker should withdraw from the case. If a court appointed social worker has had a past therapeutic relationship with any of the participants or for any other reason cannot maintain impartiality, the social worker should immediately notify the court and request to be relieved of the order. If not permitted to withdraw by the court, the social worker should disclose in the evaluation the past roles or any other factors which could affect impartiality.\nThe social worker should enhance his or her competency through specialized continuing education, training, experience and/or supervision in the following areas:\nChild and Family Development\nChild and Family Psychopathology\nFamily System Analysis\nImpact of Divorce and/or Re-marriage on Children\nLegal Standards and Procedures as represented in the Louisiana Children's Code\nEthical Standards as defined by the Louisiana Social Work Practice Act and professional organizations\nFormal and Informal Community Resources that may be available to the family.\nSocial workers should not use or review previous custody evaluations in making custody recommendations unless instructed to do so by the court or by consent of all parties' attorneys.\nThe social worker must avoid multiple relationships because they may constitute a conflict of interest. The social worker may not conduct a child custody evaluation in a case in which the social worker previously served in a therapeutic role for the child or his or her immediate family or has had other involvement that may compromise the social worker's objectivity. This does not, however, preclude the social worker from testifying in the case as a fact witness concerning treatment of the child.\nDuring the course of a child custody evaluation, a social worker should not accept any of the involved participants in the evaluation as a therapy client. Therapeutic contact with the child or involved participants following a child custody evaluation is only undertaken with extreme caution\nA social worker asked to testify regarding a therapy client involved in a child custody case is aware of the limitations and possible biases inherent in such a role as well as the possible impact on the ongoing therapeutic relationship. The court may require the social worker to testify as a fact witness regarding factual information he or she became aware of in a professional relationship with the involved client. The social worker should decline to give a professional opinion regarding the custody and visitation issues in this situation unless ordered to do so by the court.\nThe scope of the custody evaluation is determined by the nature of the question or issues raised. Comprehensive child custody evaluations generally require an evaluation of all parents/guardians and children, as well as observations of interactions between them. The scope of the assessment should include, at a minimum, an individual interview with both parents/guardians, an individual interview with the child or children and a family interview with the child or children and parents/guardians present.\nThe social worker does not give any opinion regarding the psychological functioning of any individual whom he or she has not personally evaluated. This guideline, however, does not preclude the social worker from reporting what an evaluated individual (such as the parent or child) has stated. The social worker may address theoretical issues or hypothetical questions, so long as the limited basis of the information is noted.\nThe social worker must obtain informed consent from all adult participants and, as appropriate, inform child participants. In undertaking child custody evaluations, the social worker ensures that each adult participant is aware of the purpose, nature, and method of the evaluation; who has requested the social worker's services; and who will be paying the fee.\nThe social worker informs adult participants about the nature of the assessment and the possible disposition of the data collected. The social worker also provides this information to the children, considering the limitations of their ability to understand.\nThe social worker informs all participants (including children, to the extent feasible) that traditional expectations of privacy and confidentiality cannot be met in the evaluation process because the social worker will be required to disclose his or her findings in the context of the forthcoming litigation and in such other proceedings deemed necessary by the court. A social worker should obtain from all adult participants (or from their authorized legal representative(s)) a written acknowledgment of their awareness of these conditions including a waiver of confidentiality.\nA social worker should inform the participants that the social worker is required by mandatory reporting laws of the State of Louisiana to report child abuse, neglect or suspected abuse.\nFor evaluation purposes, the social worker uses multiple methods of data gathering. The social worker strives to use the most appropriate methods available for addressing the questions raised in a specific child custody evaluation including, but not limited to, clinical interviews, observation, social histories and/or psychosocial assessment tools. Important facts and opinions are documented from at least two sources whenever the reliability is questionable.\nThe social worker, for example, should review potentially relevant reports (e.g., from schools, health care providers, child care providers, agencies, and institutions). Social workers may also interview extended family members, friends, and other individuals when the information is likely to be useful to the evaluation. If information is gathered from third parties that is significant and may be used as a basis for conclusions, social workers should corroborate it with at least one other source, whenever possible and appropriate, and document this in the report.\nSocial Workers should be aware of the arguments on both sides of the issue and be able to explain the logic of their position. When the social worker makes custody/visitation recommendations, these recommendations should be derived from sound clinical data and must be based on the best interests of the child.\nIt is recommended that a letter be sent to all parties and that financial arrangements be clarified and agreed upon in writing prior to commencing a child custody evaluation. A fee schedule should be included that covers depositions, court appearances, etc.\nThe social worker should maintain records to include:\nA telephone log of all contacts with all parties involved in the custody evaluation\nAll notes and interview information\nCopies of informed consent forms\nCorrespondence relative to the evaluation\nAll other records or documents utilized in making evaluation recommendations.\nGuidelines for the Process and Structure of the Report\nInterviews should be conducted with both parents/guardians whenever possible. The social worker should:\nExplain the process to both parents/guardians\nExplain the fee for services\nExplain and obtain a written consent which contains a waiver of confidentiality.\nObtain a summary of issues which are of concern to each parent/guardian.\nAssess the relationship between parents/guardians\nInterviews and format should be developed according to specific needs of the case (e.g., substance abuse evaluation, family/domestic violence evaluation, sexual abuse evaluation, psychiatric evaluation, and/or psychological testing.)\n- Family history of each parent/guardian\n- Marital history of parents/guardians\n- Social history of child\n- School records\n- Medical/mental health records\n- Legal records\n- Previous evaluations (where appropriate)\n- Parent and child questionnaires\n- Child Behavior Check List (if required)\n- Parents, guardians, step-parents, \"significant others\", older siblings, extended family members, friends, etc.\n- Corroborating interviews\n- Child or children\nAnalysis of family patterns, genogram\n|Copies of this Guide may be obtained from:\nLouisiana State Board of\nBoard Certified Social Work Examiners\n11930 Perkins Road, Suite B\nBaton Rouge, LA 70810\nPhone: 225-763-5470 In LA 800-521-1941\nFax: 225-763-5400 Web site: www.labswe.org\nEmail: social email@example.com\nAppreciation is extended to the American Psychological Association, Incorporated, who published their Guidelines for Child Custody Evaluations in Divorce Proceedings.

The new directive issued by Uganda's trade minister, Amelia Kyambadde, shows that all alcoholic beverages with a minimum of 200 ml must be filled in plastic or glass bottles. Failure to comply with the ban will result in the closure of the business.\nKyambadde stated in a statement on March 1 that the government has set up a committee to monitor implementation. She pointed out that the government decided to ban the packaging and sale of alcoholic beverages in small bags through the Cabinet Directive issued in 2017, which means that the process will shift from small bag packaging to packaging and selling alcoholic beverages in plastic bottles and glass bottles.\nIn addition, the Ministry and the alcohol manufacturers under the Uganda Alcohol Industry Association agreed on a roadmap for the procurement and installation of new bottled packaging production equipment, including the construction of new plants for these new technology bottling machines. This process took two years and attracted several bottled equipment investments to transform the industry.\nIn fact, Uganda is not the first and not the only African country that bans the sale of bagged alcoholic beverages. On March 1, 2017, the Tanzanian government issued an injunction announcing that Tanzania has joined the list of African countries that ban the import, manufacture, sale and consumption of bagged alcoholic beverages.\nIn addition, similar bans have been taken in Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal, Malawi and Rwanda. According to the analysis of the China-Africa Trade Research Center, the production, sale and consumption of bagged alcoholic beverages in African countries are mainly based on the following two considerations.\n1) Reduce the impact on the environment\nThese pouches with a variety of alcoholic beverages pollute the environment because they are thrown away after consumption, and these non-degradable plastic bags pose a huge threat to the environment. In addition, drinking bagged alcoholic beverages is also contrary to the “ban on plastics” issued by African countries in recent years.\n2) Protect the physical and mental health of youth groups\nDrinking alcoholic beverages is also a public health problem because these alcoholic beverages are consumed in large quantities by young people. They are easily hidden by students in trouser pockets or bags, so they are easy to get into the classroom. In some African schools, you can see young students “sucking” 50 ml of bagged alcoholic beverages in two sessions. Therefore, the ban on bagged alcoholic beverages is generally welcomed by groups such as African parents and teachers.\nBagged alcoholic beverages are usually cheap, and some brands sell for only $0.25 a bag. The report shows that sales of alcoholic beverages in some African regions are even better than soda. After drinking, customers often throw empty bags on the road and throw them into sewers or open spaces.\nIn fact, even pregnant women and drivers in some African countries are a favorite group of such cheaply packaged alcoholic beverages, posing a major threat to public health issues. However, it is worth noting that the promulgation of the ban on bagged alcoholic beverages has also laid a good market foundation for the African alcoholic beverage bottle market and the export of Chinese bottled filling machines to Africa.", "domain": "law"}

The situation can get even more complicated if the children are not biologically related to both parents, but rather from a previous relationship\nIf you are considering divorce, or currently going through it, you might be wondering if you will have any rights to your stepchildren.\nLegally speaking, there is not much that guarantees your rights as a stepparent. However, just because your relationship with your ex has ended, that doesn’t mean your relationship with their children also has to end.\nThere are many benefits to maintaining a relationship with your stepchild after a divorce. Read on to discover your rights, and how a family attorney can help you.\nCases Where Parental Rights Are Given to Stepparents\nThere are a few situations where the parental rights of a stepparent will be considered.\nFirst, if you adopted your stepchild during the marriage, you will remain the legally recognized parent even in the case of divorce. However, a child can only have two parents, so if both biological parents wish to retain their rights, this is not an option.\nSecond, if you and your ex spouse agree that it is a good idea for you to maintain a relationship with the child, a non-legal arrangement can be made. Co-parenting with an ex requires cooperation, communication, and compromise, but if both parties are willing to make it work, it’s not impossible.\nKeep in mind, though, without a legal recognition of your parenthood, you will not be allowed any rights to custody or important decision making.\nBut what if your ex is refusing to let you see your stepchild? What if no reasonable co-parenting arrangement can be made? You may have a case that is worth taking to court to fight for.\nLegal Action You Can Take\nAs previously mentioned, there is nothing in the law books which guarantees you rights to your stepchildren. Family law typically dictates that biological parents are the best guardians for their own children, with exceptions for extreme circumstances, such as abuse.\nBut while considering the best interest of the child, the court might rule in favor for you to remain in their life. This would be the case if you were married to the biological parent for many years and you financially supported your stepchildren during that time.\nThe court will also consider your relationship and impact on the child. If you have a strong, loving connection based on trust and support, the judge will likely consider this relationship integral to the wellbeing of the child.\nIf the child is older and able to express their own desires, their opinions will also be taken into consideration.\nHow to Maintain a Relationship With Your Stepchild After Divorce\nFollow these tips to maintain a relationship with your stepchild after your divorce:\n- Remain civil with your ex: You don’t have to be best friends with your ex spouse, but maintaining a civil and cooperative relationship will help you be better co-parents.\n- Respect the boundaries of the child: Understand that, just as you are going through a major change in life, so is your stepchild. If they express they need some space, try to respect their boundaries.\n- Be patient & remain available: If you are unable to see your stepchild as often as you would like, be patient. Express that you are always available for support, so they can turn to you when they need it. As they grow up, they will be able to make different decisions for themselves, and rekindle your parental relationship.\n- Contact a family lawyer: If you believe you are being unfairly treated by your ex spouse, a family lawyer might be able to help. They will review the facts of the case and advise if you have a leg to stand on.\nFamily Lawyers in Maryland\nHere at the Law Offices of Sandra Guzman-Salvado, we understand that each family is unique.

The Foundation strongly believes that SOL should not be considered a security for regulatory purposes due to being part of an open-source, community-based software project with decentralized user and developer engagement.\nSEC Lawsuit Claims 13 Tokens Are Investment Contracts\nThe SEC recently filed a lawsuit against Coinbase which claimed that 13 tokens including SOL are being “offered and sold as investment contracts, and thus as securities”.

That tract of land was the Huron Indian Cemetery and the bodies therein were to be removed to Quindaro Cemetery farther north. Kansas City officials proposed to sell the land to private investors once the bodies were relocated.\nThe Wyandot Nation in general and the Conley sisters in particular, were incensed. Although, it wasn’t the first time developers had tried to finagle a sale of the prime piece of Kansas City real estate, this time the met the immovable force of Lyda and her sisters. The women had dedicated their lives to this moment and were not about to be swayed from their goal of protecting their forebear’s final resting place.\n\"In this cemetery are buried one-hundred of our ancestors,” said Lyda Conley in the October 25, 1906 edition of the Kansas City Times, “...why should we not be proud of our ancestors and protect their graves? We shall do it, and woe be to the man that first attempts to steal a body. We are part owners of the ground and have the right under the law to keep off trespassers, the right a man has to shoot a burglar who enters his home.\"\nArmed with their father’s Civil War musket and the support of their community, the sisters moved into a small shack they built over the graves of their parents. The Conley sisters established \"Fort Conley\" on cemetery grounds and led a successful resistance to this proposed action.\nThe women padlocked the front gate and hung a sign on it warning all persons to \"Trespass at Your Peril”. They took potshots at workers with the old gun and tore down fences built by the city almost as fast as they were erected.\n\"Praying aloud to the Great Spirit by night and guarding the graves of their ancestors by day, the Conley sisters have kept a constant vigil at the old Indian burial ground,” reported the August 1, 1909, Kansas City Kansan, “Even in the coldest months of winter they did not desert their post; and when the warm and pleasant days and the summer nights arrived, they were found ever faithful in their watch.”\nLyda takes her case to the Supreme Court During the October 1909 term of the Supreme Court of the United States, Lyda Burton Conley made history. She became the first woman attorney of Native American descent admitted to argue a case before the United States Supreme Court. In a profession largely dominated by men and a society where women almost always played a supporting role, Lyda took the reins of purpose firmly in hand.\nAlthough the case was on the docket that began in late fall, Lyda didn’t present her petition before the Court until the following January. In an age long before the invention of photocopiers, the ever-prepared Lyda came prepared. She stormed Washington, D.C. armed with photographed pages of law books supporting her cause.\nOn January 14, 1910 Ms. Conley argued the case dubbed Conley v. Ballinger before the chief justices of the United States. The outcome of the case was decided on January 31, 1910. Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. delivered the opinion of the Court. Despite his decision to dismiss the suit, Holmes took into account a provision in a 1855 treaty that allowed that the “portion now enclosed and used as a public burying-ground [Huron Cemetery], shall be permanently reserved and appropriated for that purpose.”\nHowever, Lyda Conley had based her suit on her Wyandot ancestry. Unfortunately, since the treaty took their lands and dissolved the tribal status of the Kansas Wyandots and made them United States citizens, Holmes had no choice but to deny her claim. The Kansas Wyandots were now made up of those formerly known as \"absentee\" or \"citizen class\" Wyandot Indians.\nHolmes agreed with her in theory, but the Court refused to interfere with or change the decision that the United States Congress and the Interior Department had made to sell the land. Technically, Lyda lost her case, but through the notoriety of her actions she gained support for her cause and the Huron cemetery was not sold nor the bodies removed. Women’s, church, civic and other groups rallied around her cause offering support to the Conley sisters. Even the Supreme Court gave her a tacit nod of approval notwithstanding its dismissal of the case.\n“What is said to be the most sympathetic decision in many years by the U.S. Supreme Court was given in the suit of Lyda B. Conley to prevent the disturbance of the Indian Burial Ground,” reported the February 4, 1910, Kansas City Star, “The bill was dismissed without costs.”\nHistory of the Wyandots According to Janith K. English, principal chief of the Wyandot Nation of Kansas, on March 17, 1842, the tribe ceded all lands in Ohio and Michigan in exchange for 148,000 acres west of the Mississippi [Kansas]. The Government promised to pay the Wyandots $17,000 annually, forever, plus $500 per year for the support of the school and $100,000 for moving expenses.\n“On July 12, 1843, 664 Wyandots started on their Journey to Kansas,” English writes, “but illness - possibly typhoid - struck while the Wyandots were still camped along the Missouri River. Between 60 and 100 of their number died. Their bodies were carried across the river to a high ridge, which overlooked the Kansas and Missouri Rivers. Huron cemetery is established.”\nAs so often was the case, the Wyandot Nation did not receive the land promised them by the government, so on December 14 an agreement was made between the Delaware and Wyandot Tribes. The Delawares granted three sections of land of 540 acres each at the junction of the Kansas and Missouri Rivers. They granted and quit claimed to the Wyandott Nation 36 additional sections of land for $46,080. But peace still eluded the Wyandots when in 1844; another epidemic resulted in over 100 burials in Huron Cemetery. The Wyandots struggled on.\nThe Conley Sisters Lyda, Lena and Ida Conley were born to Andrew and Eliza Zane Conley in the latter part of the 19th century. Eliza was a descendant of the Wyandot Nation and was just five-years-old when her people were removed from Ohio to Kansas in 1843. She died in 1879. Andrew, born in Connecticut, was of English descent. He died in 1885.\nThe girls were raised in the Wyandot community known as Quindaro in the northern part of Kansas City, Kansas. Friends of the family note the girls were raised in an idyllic household setting. They grew up both privileged and grateful.\nAs young women, Lyda and Lena chose to continue their education by rowing daily across the Missouri River to attend Park College in Parkville, Missouri. Both finished courses that allowed them to teach business classes, but Lyda also went onto study law. It was her singular goal to become an attorney and to take only those cases brought to her by descendants of the Wyandot tribe. She had found her purpose. She passed the bar and realized her dream to become a lawyer in 1902.\nAs adults, the sisters lived a modest life on north 3rd Street in the Armourdale district of Kansas City. Lyda and Lena often shared a home packed floor to ceiling with newspapers and books. When money was tight and the winters got cold, the women would often spend their time in the heated library near their home. They read everything they could get their hands on in an effort to stay abreast of current happenings and keep in touch with their past.\nLyda was the youngest. She was small, slightly built and attractive with an upturned nose and delicate features. She was a complementary combination of her mother’s stunning Native American ancestry and her father’s English mannerisms. She was always studious and spoke as one that was well educated. Reporters that met her often described her as demure but confident.\nThere was nothing demure about Lena. She was thin and wiry and often preferred the company of animals to that of people. An untiring and outspoken animal advocate, neighbors often sought her care for their sick pets and livestock. At one time, Lena went to the Wyandot Indian reservation in Oklahoma where she was an instructor and served as a matron for the girls.\nIda, the eldest, had a broad flat face and was shorter and heavier than the other two. She lived nearby and kept house for a railroad porter. Often referred to as the quiet sister, she supported her siblings in their efforts to advance and defend the Wyandot cause. She lived as anonymously as her famous sisters would allow her.\nThe women regularly attended the Seventh Street Methodist Church where they often taught Sunday school. On warm weather days, they would lead the children across the street to the jailhouse lawn and conduct their classes within in view and earshot of the prisoners housed in the basement of the building. The children would sing hymns for the men behind the barred windows. At the end of the class, the Conley sisters would take up the children’s offering and distribute it among the inmates – some of which were of Wyandot descent. It was the women’s hope that the money would help them get good start on a better life once they were released from jail.\nThe Conley sisters continued to battle the bureaucrats and developers in Kansas City until their deaths. Their names continued to grace the papers for more than 50 years, and still pop up occasionally today.\nLyda Conley died on May 28, 1946 under somewhat mysterious circumstances. According to her close friend, Wilma Kollman, after returning home from the library, a man jumped out of the bushes and hit Lyda in the back of the head with a brick. “He took her purse and ran,” Kollman said, “The purse had 20 cents in it. She was dead within 24 hours.”\nOddly, her obituary does not mention the incident.\nAt Lyda’s funeral the Rev. R. N. Burress said, “In every breeze that stirs these trees, in every flower that graces this lofty hilltop, the works of Miss Conley will long be recalled when important men are forgotten.”\nTwo years later, Ida died quietly in October 1948. She was laid to rest with very little fanfare. She would have wanted it that way.\nOn September 15, 1958, Lena Conley joined her sisters. She was buried in next to them in the cemetery they dedicated their lives to saving. Forever proud of her Native American ancestry, she had her Wyandot Indian name, Floating Voice, chiseled into her tombstone. None of the Conley sisters ever married.\nAlthough vastly different in personality and appearance, the Conley sisters were united in their fight to preserve the dignity of their ancestors. The power of their purpose gave them the strength to fight City Hall against daunting odds. They were secure with that purpose and kept their eyes firmly on their goal. And thanks to their tireless efforts, the Huron Cemetery continues to rest peacefully to this day in the center of Kansas City.", "domain": "law"}

These were refugees that did not suffer a personal threat, but whose home country was dangerous and thus felt it was not safe for them to remain in those conditions. This liberal policy also extended to army deserters and pacifists (Nordin 2005).\nAfter that date, Sweden began to accept refugees strictly under the principles of the United Nations Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, otherwise known as the Geneva Convention. This move was in response to critics who felt the more liberal policy allowed those who were ‘not real refugees’ (Nordin 2005 p.42) to enter Sweden, and also in order to reduce the ever increasing number of asylum applications the nation received, and the economic and social pressures this resulted in.\nDespite restrictions in asylum policy, in the 1990s over 100,000 Yugoslavs sought refuge in Sweden after the collapse of their nation (Migrations Verket 2009) and in 1994 alone, 83,598 refugees from around the word claimed asylum (The European Migration Network 2005). 1996 marked a period whereby the government sought to tighten long-term immigration by introducing measures in which refugees would be issued temporary residency permits, rather than permanent ones, with the intention of returning refugees to their home countries once it was safe to do so (Westin 1996).\nIn 1997 Swedish integration policy shifted to one that encouraged self-support and self-sufficiency by the immigrant and refugee population of Sweden and also resulted in the creation of a National Integration Office. This office was responsible for aiding integration in Sweden through the creation of programs to assist in the process as well as monitoring integration progress (Geddes 2003). This policy also sought to reduce xenophobia and discrimination in Sweden and create mutual respect for cultural differences, in part through municipality consultation with non-governmental organisations (NGOs) that could assist in promoting integration and anti-discrimination measures. However, the municipalities displayed very limited interest in maintaining these NGOs, and even with government funding, they did not receive enough money to take any cases of discrimination to the courts.There are a number of larger independent NGOs in existence that assisted with the 1997 Integration Policy (Diakité 2006), but it is evident that by this time municipalities in Sweden were attempting to not comply with government policies and this integration policy was not as successful as it could have been.\nA series of laws were passed in 1999 to ban direct or indirect discrimination of immigrants and refugees (Geddes 2003), however ‘… actual developments since the beginning of the 1990s suggests that Sweden is moving closer to the exclusiveness, selectivity and increasing brutality of fortress Europe’ (Ålund & Schierup 1991 p.8). This tightening of immigration and asylum policy coincided with Sweden’s entry into the European Union (EU) in 1995.\nHowever, with the enlargement of the EU in 2004 to include ten new countries, Sweden was one of only three EU member states to allow the citizens of the new member states the right to work without first requesting a permit (Westin 2006). In 1996 Sweden signed the Schengen agreement, allowing the free movement of people between the other states who are party to the agreement.\nSweden continues to accept refugees from all over the world, and in per capita terms, is amongst the highest asylum-receiving nations in Europe. For the past 15 years, refugee migration and family reunification has amounted to between 60 and 80 percent of total migration to Sweden (Lemaître 2007) – although this number had fallen to 31 % by 2011. An important development in family reunification for parents and children occured on the 18th of January 2012 – The Migration Court of Appeal ruled that if family connection could not be proved due to lack of official documentation that DNA testing could be used instead.\nIn 2011, 29,670 Asylum Seekers came to Sweden – a decrease of 7% from 2010. Of this number, 2,657 were unaccompanied children, mostly from Somalia and Afghanistan (The European Migration Network 2011) – this is a substantial increase from 2005 where the number was 398 (Riksdagen). Currently, Municipalities can accept unaccompanied children on a voluntary basis and as such, there has been a shortage in placements for this group of asylum seekers. There has been debate in Sweden regarding whether or not Municipalities should be legally required to offer places for unaccompanied children (The European Migration Network 2011), and this remains unresolved to date.\nIn 2012, Sweden’s municipalities are responsible for assisting refugees with integration and receive a government grant per refugee – they offer Swedish for Immigrants classes (SFI), and contacts with job seeking services, schools and child care facilities – all of which are intended to allow refugees to enter the work force as quickly as possible. On December the 1st 2010 reforms were implemented to increase the speed of integration – this has been met with some challenges such as lack of housing in areas where work is available. Other attempts have been made to increase participation in the work force such as Step-in-jobs, which basically means that the government will pay a grant to cover up to 80% of the position in an attempt to encourage Swedish companies to hire more people of foreign background (participants are required to attend SFI at the same time). There also appears to be attempts to encourage a greater level of immigrant entrepreneurship.\nIn 2007, the Swedish Integration Board was discontinued by the Alliance for Sweden coalition as the government felt it had not achieved its targets. The tasks undertaken by this board were transferred to other government agencies, including the new Ministry of Integration and Gender Equality. On the 1st of January 2011 the Ministry of Integration and Gender Equality was closed and integration issues were taken up by the Ministry of Employment. The current Minister of integration is Erik Ullenhag, who appears to have an open policy towards immigration and speaks of encouraging more openness within Europe.\nSweden is currently working together with other EU member states to create a Common European Asylum System (CEAS) (theoretically) by 2012, according to the 2009 Stockholm Programme (which is itself a result of the 2004 Hague Programme). It remains to be seen whether or not the 2012 deadline will be met given it is already nearing the end of December – that said, the Cypriot Presidency of the EU seems to have made some positive steps forward as recently as the 25th of October.\nOn the 15th of December 2008 legislation was passed to make it easier for Swedish companies to hire workers from outside of the EU/EEA. From the 15th of April 2010, Sweden implemented a rule in which proof must be given that adequate support exists before a family member can be brought over – in other words the person already resident in Sweden must be able to financially support as well as providing housing for the family member before a residency permit can be granted – this rule does not apply to refugees. There has also been some restriction regarding those coming to Sweden to pick berries with companies needing to provide transportation, accommodation, food and guarantee salary even when berry harvests are low (The European Migration Network 2011) – this is in response to exploitation of these workers in the past, although how effective this has been is debatable as there have been plenty of reports in 2012 showing that this is still continuing.\nOn a related note, the introduction of tuition fees for University in autumn 2011 for students from outside of the EU/EEA/Switzerland saw a reduction of 79% in the number of foreign students enrolling at Swedish tertiary institutions (Högskoleverket). Since this initial drop in applications from students outside of the EU, applications from this group have risen by around 20% in 2012, but it will be interesting to see what percentage of this number actually transfers to enrolment.\nWant to read more?

These requirements are in addition to payment of a fine and court costs.\nInformation on Your Rights\nA trial in Municipal Court is a fair, impartial and public trial as in any other court. Under Texas law, you may be brought to trial only after a sworn complaint is filed against you. A complaint is a document that charges you with the offense that you are alleged to have committed. You may be tried only for what is alleged in the complaint. You have the following rights in court:\n- The right to have a notice of the complaint not later than the day before any proceedings\n- The right to inspect the complaint before trial, and have it read to you at trial\n- The right to have your case tried before a jury, if you so desire\n- The right to hear all testimony introduced against you\n- The right to cross-examine witnesses who testify against you\n- The right to testify in your behalf\n- The right not to testify, if you so desire. If you choose not to testify, your refusal to do so may not be held against you in determining your innocence or guilt\n- You may call witnesses to testify in your behalf at trial, and have the court issue a subpoena (a court order) to any witness to ensure his or her appearance at trial. The request for a subpoena must be in writing, directed to the clerk of the court at least three weeks prior to your trial date, and you must give the name, current address, and telephone number of each witness that you want subpoenaed.\nIf you choose to have the case tried before a jury, you have the right to question jurors about their qualifications to hear your case. If you think that a juror will not be fair, impartial or unbiased, you may ask the judge for a challenge for cause to excuse the juror. The judge will decide whether to grant your request. In each jury trial, you are also permitted to strike three members of the jury panel for any reason you choose, except an illegal reason (such as based solely upon a person’s race or gender). This is referred to as a peremptory strike and each side has three peremptory strikes. Most jurors are selected from the first twelve members of the jury panel, as a Municipal Court jury is composed of six jurors.\nUnder our American system of justice, all persons are presumed to be innocent until proven guilty. On a plea of not guilty, a trial is held. As in all criminal trials, the State must prove the guilt of a defendant “beyond a reasonable doubt” of the offense charged in the complaint before the defendant can be found guilty by a judge or jury.\nYour decision concerning which plea to enter is very important. You should read the following explanation of all three types of pleas and think carefully before making your decision. If you plead guilty or nolo contendere you should be prepared to pay the fine.\nPlea of Guilty\nBy a plea of guilty, you admit that the act is prohibited by law and that you committed the act charged. Before entering your plea of guilty, however, you should understand the following:\n- The State has the burden of proving you violated the law (the law does not require that you prove you did not violate the law)\n- You have the right to hear the State’s evidence and require the state to prove you violated the law\n- A plea of guilty may be used against you later in a civil suit if there was a traffic accident (another party can say you were at fault or responsible for the accident because you plead guilty to the traffic charge)\nPlea of Nolo Contendere (No Contest)\nA plea of nolo contendere means that you do not contest the State’s charge against you. You will almost certainly be found guilty, unless you are eligible and successfully complete a driving safety course and/or deferred disposition. Also, a plea of nolo contendere may not be used against you in a subsequent civil suit for damages.\nPlea of Not Guilty\nA plea of not guilty means that you deny guilt and that the State must prove the charge that is filed against you. If you plead not guilty, you need to decide whether to hire an attorney to represent you. If you plead not guilty, you will be set for a pre-trial conference with the prosecutor to discuss your case.\nYou may request deferred disposition to prevent DPS from assessing points to your driving record. Deferred disposition is commonly referred to as “probation.” Basically it means that you will pay the fines and fees assessed by the judge and he will agree to “defer” his finding of guilt for a period of up to 180 days. With this request, you will enter into an agreement with the court that you will not receive any tickets in your deferral period. If you completed the deferral period without incident, the violation will not affect your driving record. If you get another ticket or do not pay the fees assessed by the judge, you will have a show cause hearing to determine the result of your case. If you are under the age of 25 you will be required to take a driver’s safety course as a condition of the deferred disposition. CDL holders are not eligible for deferred disposition on moving violations.\nDriver’s Safety Course\nYou may wish to take a driver’s safety course to prevent DPS from accessing points to your driving record. In order to qualify for the driver’s safety course, you must:\n- Have a valid Texas driver’s license (military or military dependents are not required to have a Texas driver’s license to qualify)\n- Liability insurance listing you as a covered driver\n- Must not have taken the course in the last 12 months for the purpose of dismissing a ticket\n- Must submit the request form, payment, and a copy of your insurance on or before your initial appearance date (the date on your citation)\nThe amount of $144.00 ($169.00 for school zone violations) must be paid to the Municipal Court at the time of the request.\nAfter the request has been submitted and accepted by the court, you will be required to obtain a certified copy of your driving record (certified version of #3) from the Texas Department of Public Safety. The court will provide you with the proper application.\nUpon approval to take the driver’s safety course, you will have 90 days to complete the class and return the required documents to the court. Once the court receives the documents, we will notify DPS of the course completion and the citation will not affect your driving record.\nDRIVER’S SAFETY COURSES ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR DEFENDANTS WITH A COMMERCIAL DRIVER’S LICENSE (CDL); VIOLATIONS INVOLVING PASSING A SCHOOL BUS; VIOLATIONS THAT OCCUR IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE; OR VIOLATIONS OF 25 MILES OVER THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT.\nThe court is not allowed to recommend a driving school. Please refer to the yellow pages of the telephone directory, under Driving Instruction and/or Driving Schools and call a number listed. You need only ask if their school is an approved course for the dismissal of a traffic citation.

He said Apple supports the implementation of comprehensive federal privacy laws across the globe that minimize data collection, let users know what data is being collected, allow users to access that data and keep all of their information secure.\nCook went on to say that opposing privacy regulation “isn’t just wrong, it is destructive.”\nAs companies collect more and more data, he warns, businesses may have a fuller profile of an individual than the individual even has of herself.\n“We shouldn’t sugarcoat the consequences. This is surveillance,” he said. “This should make us very uncomfortable. It should unsettle us.”\nThis year, technology companies have come under scrutiny for failing to safeguard users.

The GDPR is an effort to transfer more control over personal data, like addresses and phone numbers, from large companies back to individuals, affecting how companies obtain, use, store and secure data.\nExecutives from Google and Facebook were set to address the same conference in Brussels later on Wednesday. When contacted by FOX Business, Google pointed to a blog post on privacy published last month.\nFacebook Chief Privacy Officer Erin Egan said at the conference she would also support legislation similar to the GDPR, as reported by The FInancial Times.

It is a rich mixture of “hard law” and “soft law.” What have we learned over the past four years about this mixture? How effective is it at defining the role and place of the presidency in our system of government?\nThis article is a condensed version of the author’s Charles Evans Hughes Lecture, delivered for the New York County Lawyers Association on Feb. 9, 2021. The full text of the lecture can be found on the NYCLA website. The Fordham Law School website also contains the full text and the audio recording of the lecture.\nCharles Evans Hughes is a towering figure in American Law. Born in Glens Falls, N.Y. in 1862 to a Welsh immigrant preacher, he started his legal career at Chamberlain, Carter & Hornblower, becoming a named partner four years later in 1884. The firm, now known as Hughes, Hubbard and Reed, remains one of our nation’s leading law firms and has sponsored NYCLA’s Hughes lecture since its inception in 1948.\nHughes’ career in both private practice and public service was built on a reputation for independence and integrity. He was elected Governor of New York in 1906 and then appointed to the Supreme Court. After serving as an associate justice for six years, he resigned to run for President. While he never made it to the White House, he did become the eighth president of NYCLA—a post he left when returned to public service as Secretary of State. After another stint in private practice, he returned to government, first as Solicitor General, and then from 1930 to 1941 as Chief Justice of the United States.\nFrom start to finish, Hughes’ career was based on a few bedrock values—as the child of a pastor, service was an imperative to him. This commitment was married to a firm foundation in integrity and fair dealing. He was outspoken in decrying racial injustice—he was the keynote speaker at the National Conference Against Lynching in 1919 and as Chief Justice, he ended segregation in the Supreme Court cafeteria. He personified the great citizen-lawyer who spent his life working to build and sustain our profession, our legal institutions and our American democracy.\nThis is an important moment to think about Hughes and the values that he stood for and fought for. It is important because these values are being challenged on a daily basis and much of what we have assumed to be foundational principles of American democracy are now at risk. Hughes’ values appear today not as stodgy appeals to rectitude, but as a call to action. What would he say, looking at the present state of the nation?\nWe are at an inflection point—a new administration has just taken office, drawing to a close the four years of a presidential administration unlike any before. It is far too early to draw definitive conclusions about the Trump experience—historians will do so for years to come—and let’s face it, we all have a lot to process. But I want to offer a number of observations about what we have learned about American democracy at this point in our history. I will focus on the daily erosion of our norms and institutions over the past four years that paved the way for the insurrection.\nAmerican democracy is a bundle of laws, cultural norms, values, tradition and history all operating under a framework established by the Constitution. It is a rich mixture of “hard law” and “soft law.” What have we learned over the past four years about this mixture? How effective is it at defining the role and place of the presidency in our system of government? We learned a lot. Donald Trump is our first President who from start to finish of his presidency broadcast contempt for the norms and traditions of the office.\nI will touch on a few aspects that made clear that a President who wished to do so, could abuse power with impunity. These may not be the things that strike many people as the most egregious aspects of the Trump era, but they are important in their corrosive effect on the laws, norms and values that define the office of the president. I will focus on four features intended to prevent a powerful president from subverting our processes and institutions: First, the separation of prosecution from politics; second, the web of laws and traditions intended to prevent corruption; third, the requirement of senate confirmation for officers of the United States; fourth, and finally, the performance of the judiciary in constraining a lawless administration.\nFirst, the separation of politics from prosecution is a core principle in our democracy—political leaders abuse their power when they manipulate the authority to excuse or accuse individuals of crimes to further their own personal ends. This kind abuse would be included in any primer on despotism—it is Tyranny 101.\nOur means of ensuring the separation of politics from criminal prosecution is largely based on culture and tradition—constraints that proved inadequate. President Trump was able to protect allies and supporters from the full weight of prosecution. President Trump also worked hard to harness the power of political prosecution to punish and neutralize his adversaries. Here, the President’s efforts were less successful, and our system proved resilient. The threat to prosecute political enemies, however, is a powerful weapon in itself, even if indictments never issue. President Trump could meddle with the machinery of criminal prosecution because we have no firm constraints in place that prevent a president from doing so.\nSecond, many of the laws intended to ensure ethical conduct by public officials were exposed to be ineffective in constraining a president who did not share the norms and values that the laws reflect—including rules intended to protect the use of public office for private financial or political ends and the system of watchdogs established by placement of inspectors general distributed throughout federal agencies.\nFor example, senior officials in the Trump administration disregarded both the letter and spirit of the Hatch Act with impunity. With the exception of the President and Vice President, the Hatch Act prohibits federal employees from using their positions for partisan political purposes. Clearly, there are gray areas, as many steps taken by officials have some element of political calculation, but the administration behaved generally as if the Act did not exist.\nThe Ethics in Government Act, one of the cornerstones of the post-Watergate reforms, also proved not up to the task of constraining the President. Most glaringly, the Act exempts the President from its proscription on conflicts of interest. However, for 40 years, presidents have complied voluntarily—establishing a tradition that has become part of our democratic safeguards. Indeed, as a candidate, Donald Trump vowed to build a “firewall” between his presidency and his businesses. The reality was far different. He placed his assets in a revocable trust run by his sons for his own benefit—as one law professor put it, “the illusory window dressing of a trust.” In sum, the Trump administration made no distinction between legitimate advantages that come with incumbency and illegitimate and even illegal ones. It suffered no consequences for this disregard.\nHand in hand with this disregard for laws and traditions designed to prevent corruption, mechanisms for self-policing within the executive branch were weakened and disregarded. Whistleblowers were outed and punished, inspectors general were purged. Civil servants’ careers were ruined.\nI understand that many of these legal and cultural restrictions may appear to some as bureaucratic red tape. Some might argue that they are illegitimate shackles on the presidency. However, they are properly understood as key parts of the web of laws, traditions and understandings that enable us to hold presidents accountable and protect against corruption and self-dealing.\nThird, the President eroded the constitutional requirement of Senate confirmation for officers of the United States by evading the Federal Vacancies Reform Act, which limits who can serve without confirmation as the temporary occupant of a position that requires Senate confirmation and for how long. In 2019 he stated that he “sort of like[d]” having acting officials because it gave him “more flexibility”—meaning they would be more beholden to him rather than allies in Congress.\nFourth, the past four years revealed major flaws in the ability or willingness of the Article III courts to check abuse of executive power. To be clear, the courts carried out their role in thousands of cases seeking judicial review of policies and actions of the Trump Administration. And for that, I am grateful. But they also failed to resolve key issues where their oversight was critical. On key issues the courts declined to rule or were so slow in reaching final resolutions that the administration was able to run out the clock. Most saliently, the courts failed to resolve litigation over funding for the border wall, the cases claiming that the President was in violation of the emoluments clause and the litigation over congressional subpoenas. The courts failure to resolve these key issues enabled the Administration to evade judicial review on critically important constitutional issues.\nIn sum, too many of our safeguards were unenforceable—because they were based in custom and tradition, or were rooted in laws with weak, ineffectual enforcement mechanisms, or because judicial remedies were simply not forthcoming in a timely way. The willingness of our society to tolerate these transgressions of laws was damaging in important ways—it undermined the notion that the president is bound by law and by the norms established through tradition. Even those who called the President out on these transgressions were worn down by a constant barrage of wrongdoing. This normalization of the abnormal, built up to the President’s refusal to acknowledge his defeat even after states had certified electors and of course, to the seizure of the Capitol on January 6th, as his supporters felt free to violate laws in the pursuit of their cause.\nI want to offer two takeaways from this discussion. First, we need to do a better job building our traditions and norms into concrete obligations. This, of course, was a major project coming out of Watergate when laws like the Ethics in Government Act were passed. We know now that this system of checks is simply not up to the task. I commend the series of reports by Fordham Law School’s Democracy Clinic, led by Dean John Feerick and John Rogan as a starting place. Important work has also been done by the Brennan Center for Justice’s Taskforce for the Rule of Law and Democracy and CREW—The Center for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. I cannot go through all of the recommendations in this lecture and each of the areas addressed deserves careful study, but I will mention a few. The Fordham Democracy Clinic recommends enactment of legislation prohibiting presidential interference in individual investigations and prosecutions, except when core presidential functions are implicated. Other recommendations offered by these reports focus on strengthening protections against the use of the presidency for private gain, including making the president, vice president and White House staff subject to proscriptions on conflicts of interest, requiring disclosure of tax returns, modernization of financial disclosures and reform of the Office of Government Ethics to add enforcement and investigatory powers. Inspector generals should be given more security, as some have proposed.\nThe second larger take away from the Trump experience is that it takes more than law to preserve our democracy. It takes an understanding and appreciation of the tradition, norms and culture of democracy and a commitment by each of us to play our part in its operation—a commitment that Charles Evans Hughes stood for and lived. The only way to really check an abusive president is through the actions of good people in key roles—people who look to the shared understandings of their public duties and the values that lie behind them.\nOur culture of democracy is clearly in danger. When the rioters broke through the doors and pillaged the Capitol, our society recoiled in a visceral way. That point, however, should never have been reached. Americans should have been repelled by the self-dealing and corruption of the administration, by the evasion and disregard for laws and traditions. Leaders of both political parties should have made it clear from the start that it was unacceptable. Had they done so, the past two months would have been very different. The fact that as a society we failed to expect, demand and require these standards is itself a major warning sign. Our tolerance of the Administration’s transgressions was corrosive—it sent a message to President Trump’s supporters that the administration was not bound by our regular set of rules, and that they were not either.\nThe task then, is to sustain and nurture our culture of democracy. In this project, the legal profession can and must play a critical role. As lawyers, we have a special relationship with the tradition and culture of American democracy. We benefit from it and earn our livelihood from it. Our privileged position comes with responsibilities—to educate and communicate the importance of this richer and fuller notion of our democratic system. As my colleague Russ Pearce has succinctly put it, lawyers have a duty to democracy.\nThe events of the past four years reveal that we have not done enough, and we have not been effective. We must look within and ask hard questions about how we in the legal profession can better educate attorneys who will work to uphold and improve democratic institutions, rather than tear them down.\nIn addition to looking hard within the legal profession, we also need to reach beyond ourselves. Projects like the Second Circuit’s initiative Justice for All: Courts and the Community—which opens up our courthouses so children can learn—are a superb starting point. This does not simply mean teaching about the three branches of government. It means helping others cultivate habits of discourse that foster critical thinking and reasoned discussion—qualities that are essential to democratic governance.\nAnd as a law school dean, I know that we in the academy have a mission to explain our system to the public, to use our expertise to improve it and to convey to the next generation of lawyers an understanding of their own role upholding the values and culture of democracy.\nFinally, nurturing the culture of our democracy does not mean accepting things as they are. Our democracy is incomplete, flawed—a work in progress. We have a responsibility to rid our institutions of injustice, so that they are worthy of trust and respect. Racial inequality is inconsistent with the fundamental premises of democracy and undermines the legitimacy of our institutions. We fall far short in access to our justice system. The goal is not a return to a mythical past, but rather a way forward which addresses the injustices in our society and draws on the capacity of our collective will—acting through our public institutions—to correct these injustices and accomplish our common ends.\nI have striven to emphasize today that our system depends not simply on the “big stuff” like checks and balances or Marbury v. Madison, but on a web of smaller pieces that are vital to the texture of our democracy. The wanton disregard of statutes like the Ethics in Government Act, the Hatch Act, the Federal Vacancies Reform Act and so much more, coupled with disregard for informal traditions and understandings around what it means to be President proved to be dangerous warning signs that should have spurred greater response. I think that if Charles Evans Hughes were with us today, he would not shrink from the task ahead—he lived through a pandemic, the great depression, the rise of fascism and two world wars. He would recognize our ability to work together on the great project of American democracy.\nMatthew Diller is the Dean and the Paul Fuller Professor of Law at Fordham Law School.

Most of the time, you will need to have tier authorization in order to work in the UK.\nUK Visa Requirements\nPeople who intend to visit the UK must be able to prove that they meet certain requirements in order to enter the country. You will also need to submit documentation that shows that you meet these requirements.\nMost tourists enter on general visitor visas which require that you be at least 18 years old, if you are younger you will have to apply for a child visa, which is a different process.\nThe maximum amount of time you can visit the UK for is 6 months. This can sometimes be extended to 12 if you are accompanying a student in the UK.\nYou must be able to pay for yourself while you are in the UK and be able to pay for your way home when your visa expires. If you stay past the date stamped in your passport you may be subject to penalties from the UKVI.\nYou also cannot get a job while in the UK, become a student, \"switch\" your immigration status, get married, or participate in medical tourism with a visitor visa.\nThere are many different documents that you can use to prove the above requirements, some of which are:\n- Return plane tickets,\n- A passport,\n- A bank statement, or\n- Proof of employment in your home country.\nDo I need a UK Visa?\nThere are some instances where you do not even need a visa to travel to the UK and you should check appropriate sources to see if your country supports a visa waiver with the UK. Even if your country reciprocates with the UK regarding visas you may still want to get a visa particularly if you have a criminal record or have previously encountered criticism from the UKVI.", "domain": "law"}

W.G.; W.G. appealed the determination of the trial court in finding dependency jurisdiction over Daniela G., where the court awarded sole custody to Daniela’s mother. G. sought to reverse this decision the basis of the juvenile court’s refusal to require Daniela and a 13-year old stepdaughter to testify at the combined jurisdictional and dispositional hearing. The court of appeals, however, affirmed the result, stating that W.G.’s due process rights were not violated because the court correctly determined that the possible benefit of the children’s testimony would not warrant the psychological injury it would cause to the children in being examined and cross examined on the issue of W.G.’s molestation of his 13-year old stepdaughter and ‘grooming’ his 8-year old daughter for future sexual exploitation pursuant to the case In re Jennifer J. (1992) 8 Cal.App.4th 1080.\n- The People v. Shawn Shields; the court of appeals partially affirmed and partially reversed Mr. Shields’ conviction for attempted pimping, pandering, and human trafficking of a minor when Mr. Shields accepted a request to become facebook friends with a fictional 17-year-old prostitute created by a Solano County detective. While the court of appeals upheld the convictions for attempted pimping and pandering charges, it agreed with Mr. Shields that the human trafficking of a minor charge required that the individual actually be a minor, which was not the case here, and that he should have been charged with ‘attempted’ human trafficking.\n- The People v. Franklin Lee; where after pleading no contest to charges related to the sexual exploitation of a boy under 14 years old and accepting a term of 14 years in prison, Mr. Lee challenged the trial court’s award of $750,000 in non-economic damages to his victim. The court of appeals affirmed the award, holding that it was authorized under the existing statutes.\n- The People v. Joseph Veamatahau; in a partially published case, the court of appeals held that an expert’s testimony that he relied on a database to confirm the contents of pills found on Mr. Veamatahau’s person was not case-specific hearsay under the law, and that the testimony was admissible.\n- Joseph Tierney et alterius v. Nasir Javaid et alterius; in a dispute over the sale of real estate, the court of appeals partially affirmed and partial reversed the trial court’s judgment in favor of the defendants. In the published portion of the case the appeals court affirmed the decision holding that Mr. Tierney failed to perform on his contract obligations for the purchase of the property – as, although he spent eight years pursuing a permit to build a condominium development at the site of the real property, he failed to tender the agreed-upon payment for the property and judgment was affirmed on that basis.\n- Ricardo Ian Summers et alterius v. The Superior Court of San Francisco County [Real Party in Interest] Wan Fen Tan; the court of appeals reversed and remanded an order by the trial court for the sale of a piece of real property. The case originates from a dispute between the parties over what percentage of the property is owned by each person. When the trial court ordered the property sold, with the interests determined at a later date, the plaintiffs appealed, and the court of appeals agreed that the ownership interests should be determined prior to the sale of the property.\nFrom the Second Appellate District –\n- Harley Shine v. Williams-Sonoma, Inc. et alterius; where the court of appeals affirmed the trial court sustaining Williams-Sonoma’s demurrer to Mr. Shrine’s putative employment class action litigation on the grounds that the litigation was barred by res judicata. Namely, that Mr. Shine had participated in a prior class settlement on the same claims that barred him from bringing the instant litigation, even though the specific claims raised could not have been raised in the class settlement, because he agreed to a general release of claims through the settlement.\n- Placer Foreclosure, Inc. v. Solomon Aflalo; after the foreclosure sale of Mr. Aflalo’s property, Placer Foreclosure and the buyer of the property were sued for wrongful foreclosure. Placer filed an interpleader action and deposited the surplus funds with the Court, and following a demurrer to the interpleader action that the court sustained, the court failed, however, to disburse the funds to Mr. Aflalo. The court of appeals affirmed the dismissal of the interpleader action without leave to amend, as Placer should have simply distributed the surplus funds to Mr. Aflalo as there is no threat of double vexation, and the court further orders that the surplus funds be distributed to Mr. Aflalo.\n- In re the Marriage of Summer and Robert Turfe [OR] Summer Turfe v. Robert Turfe; the court of appeals affirmed the judgment of the trial court where, after a bifurcated trial, the court held that the marriage between Summer and Robert should not be annulled pursuant to a claim of fraud related to a ‘mahr agreement’ under Islamic law, as the parties had different interpretations of what the agreement was at the time it was entered, with Robert believing that Summer would receive nothing but a Quran, while Summer believing that she would receive substantially more. As Summer did not defraud Robert into entering marriage on that basis, the marriage is not annulled pursuant to such fraud.\n- Fabio Canales et alterius v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.; the court of appeals affirmed the trial court’s entry of judgment on a wage and hours case against Well Fargo for their alleged failure to include required information on their wage statements, and failure to provide a concurrent wage statement together with the terminated employees final wages paid in-store. The trial court found that there was no basis for the causes of action, as the purportedly missing information was, in fact, not earned by the employees, and that Wells Fargo complied with the wage statement presentation requirements by mailing the final wage statement to the plaintiffs.\n- John Nist v. Steven Hall; in a case involving the improper lien sale of the contents of a storage unit, the court of appeals affirmed the trial court’s judgment in favor of Mr. Hall, who was the bona fide good faith purchaser of the contents at the lien sale. Further, the action was held to be judicially estopped by Mr. Nist’s prior action against the storage facility on the same facts, which resulted in a $12,000 settlement agreement in Mr. Nist’s favor and dismissal with prejudice.\n- The People v. Job Luna Medina; the court of appeals affirmed the trial court’s denial of Mr. Medina’s petition to reduce his felony conviction for possession of marijuana with intent to sell from 2015. In its analysis, the court described the difference between criminal acts and criminal conspiracies, and that conspiracies, such as Mr. Medina was convicted of, may constitute graver offenses than the acts themselves due to the collaboration of multiple criminals in conspiracy against the People. The court additionally held that the plain terms of Proposition 64 and other statutes provide that serious crimes involving marijuana may still be pursued and punished by the government, and the movement of large quantities of illicit marijuana qualifies as a serious crime.\n- Rockefeller Technology Investments (Asia) VII v. Changzhou Sinotype Technology Co., Ltd.; in a dispute involving an aborted international business transaction, Rockefeller attempted to engage in arbitration, in which Changzhou failed to appear, resulting in a $414 million verdict in favor of Rockefeller. Changzhou ultimately appeared 15 months later and moved to set aside the verdict on the grounds that they had never been served pursuant to the Hague Conventions of international service. The trial court held that service by mail was the privately agreed-upon means of service, and Rockefeller complied with those terms, but the court of appeals held that because the Hague Convention prohibits contracting for service by means that are not permissible by the receiving country, and China does not permit service by international mail, the judgement was void for failure to properly serve Changzhou.\n- Port Medical Wellness, Inc. v. Connecticut General Life Insurance Company, et alterius; in a case dealing with a dispute between two corporate entities related to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, which generally preempts state claims, the court of appeals affirmed the entry of judgment in favor of Connecticut General. While the court engaged in preemption analysis, finding some claims preempted and other not preempted, the court ultimately affirmed judgment on the failure of Port Medical to raise triable issues of fact.\nFrom the Third Appellate District –\n- Public Employees’ Retirement System v. Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority [AND] Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1555; the court of appeals affirmed judgment against the Retirement System in two separate actions brought by California’s Public Employees’ Retirement System, as opposed to the board that administers the system. While the underlying facts of case involved the interpretation of certain benefits, the two actions here were determined on the basis of CalPERS failure to exhaust its administrative remedies prior to bringing the actions to superior court, as the exact same issues brought by CalPERS are presently pending in over 400 administrative appeals. While CalPERS argued that it is not required to exhaust its administrative remedies, the court of appeals considered that the agency cannot seek a judicial imprimatur for its policy, which would be applied to pending cases, in an effort to thwart the established administrative adjudicative process.\n- Alliance for California Business [AND] Jack Cody v. State Air Resources Board et alterius; in two cases consolidated for appeal, Mr. Cody, a trucker, and the Alliance for California Business sought to challenge California’s requirement that all trucks operating in California be fitted with diesel particulate filters. In its opinion, the court of appeal upheld the trial courts’ determination that the courts lacked jurisdiction to review the regulation under Federal Law. Specifically, there is a federal statute that provides that any challenges to these types of regulations under the Clean Air Act give original and exclusive jurisdiction to federal courts of appeal, rendering state courts without jurisdiction to consider these types of claims.\nFrom the Fourth Appellate District –\n- Airs Aromatics, LLC v. CBL Data Recovery Technologies, Inc.; Airs sued CBL on a breach of contract cause of action and demanded relief “in an amount to be proven at trial”, but in any case “exceeded $25,000.” After Answering and engaging in settlement negotiations, CBL withdrew its answer and Airs obtained a default judgment in the amount of $3,016,965.03 in the year 2011. CBL then came into court in 2016 seeking to set aside the default judgment by arguing that the default was void for exceeding the $25,000 demanded in Airs complaint. The trial court denied CBL’s motion, but the court of appeal ordered that the motion should be granted, as the section governing default judgment is strictly construed to require that the complaint provide sufficient notice to non-answering defendants and the entry of judgment in excess of the amount stated was void.\n- Stephen Bushansky v. Patrick Soon-Shiong et alterius; the court affirmed the dismissal of a shareholder derivative action based on a Delaware forum selection clause. While Mr. Bushansky argued that the selection clause was inappropriate due to Delaware’s lack of personal jurisdiction over every necessary party at the time the litigation was filed, the court of appeals reasoned that because the contract was silent as to the time necessary to determine personal jurisdiction was required, the parties intended a reasonable time frame for such jurisdiction, which has since been obtained.\n- Thomas E. Morgan v. The Superior Court of Orange County [Real Party in Interest] Nancy Morgan Shurtleff et alterius; here, the court of appeals denied Mr. Morgan’s petition for a writ of mandate when the trial court had ordered him to produce all communications, including attorney-client communications, between Mr. Morgan in his capacity as the trustee for a trust and a successor trustee. The court held that in the context of a trust, attorney-client privilege rests between the office of the trustee and the attorney, and any successor trustee has the right to review confidential communications to and from the office of trustee.\n- The People v. Richard Brunton; after being convicted on several charges associated with chocking a fellow inmate with a towel with the intent to kill, the court of appeals agreed with Mr. Brunton’s argument that his conviction on both charges of ‘assault by means of force likely to produce great bodily harm’ and ‘assault with a deadly weapon’ were duplicative as being based on the same facts, and remanded to the trial court to strike one of the convictions.\n- Abbott Laboratories et alterius v. The Superior Court of Orange County [Real Party in Interest] The People ex relatione Tony Rackauckas, as District Attorney, et cetera; in a 2-1 decision the court of appeals granted Abbot Laboratories writ seeking to prevent the Orange County District Attorney from seeking to pursue charges against Abbot, Teva Pharmaceuticals, Barr Pharmaceuticals, and Duramed Pharmaceuticals related to a conspiracy to keep generic drugs off of the market. The court of appeals granted the writ based on the Orange County’s lack of authority to seek relief on behalf of the State and the People of California, being limited only to the People of the County of Orange. In a dissenting opinion, Justice Dato argued that the granting of this particular writ was unnecessary, as the petitioner only sought to strike the words ‘California’ and ‘in California’ from the language of the complaint, and to the extent that the District Attorney can only recover relief on behalf of the People of the County of Orange, the issues of damages and equitable relief can be adequately addressed by the trial court and assessed on a proper record, not at the outset of litigation through the mechanism of a motion to strike.\n- Rosa Jensen v. The Home Depot, Inc. et alterius; after the trial court reasonably sustained a demurrer on a first amended complaint without leave to amend due to the plaintiffs’ failure to cure defects from the original complaint, failure to oppose the demurrer, failure to request oral arguments, and failure to request leave to amend, the court of appeals nevertheless reversed the trial court’s entry of judgment when Ms. Jense, for the first time on appeal, argued that her case should have been severed from the underlying case and she would be able to present valid claims upon filing a new complaint.\n- In re R.W., a Person Coming Under the Juvenile Court Law [OR] The People v. R.W.; the court of appeal affirmed R.W.’s citation for obstructing an officer in the performance of her duties when R.W., after having been arrested on a carjacking case, determined to not have committed the crime, and then placed under supervision by the Police officers until R.W.’s parent arrived, attempted to leave the supervision of the officer, was handcuffed hand cited, and then released into her parent’s custody a short period later. The court of appeals reasoned that even though R.W. was not officially in Police custody as a criminal detainee, minors are always in somebody’s custody, and the State has a responsibility to supervise minor in situations like those presented here, such that R.W.’s citation was lawful.\nFrom the Fifth Appellate District –\n- Gerawan Farming, Inc. v. Agricultural Labor Relations Board [Real Party in Interest] United Farm Workers of America; in a case involving a de-certification election by an incumbent union of farmworkers, the Agricultural Labor Relations Board was determined to have erred in several of its findings of unfair labor practices as well as in the legal standard applied in reaching its remedial conclusions. On this basis, the court granted Gerawan Farming’s petition vacating the Board’s decision to set aside the decertification vote, and remanded the case to the Board for further proceedings based on the 138 page decision.\nFrom the Sixth Appellate District –\n- The People v. Irvin Sacrite; on appeal from an order of two-years probation for crimes related to the possession and use of methamphetamine, Mr. Sacrite argued that the trial court erred in failing to suppress evidence gathered based on a ‘pat search’ that ultimately revealed Mr. Sacrite’s possession of illegal substances. The court of appeals held that the officer conducting the search had “specific and articulable facts” that Mr. Sacrite may have been armed, rendering the pat search legal, and the evidence derived from the search admissible.\nSupreme Court – Roundup\nThis Week, the Supreme Court published 3 cases, including:\n- The People v. Charles Edward Case; where the Supreme Court affirmed the death sentence of Mr. Case when he murdered two people during the commission of a robbery, where he ultimately stole $320. The Court did, however, order that the $10,000 awarded in restitution be reduced by the amount awarded to a direct victim. In a Dissenting and Concurring opinion by Justices Liu and Chaney, the justices would have found that the police officers deliberately violated Mr. Case’s rights under Miranda v. Arizona (1966) 384 U.S. 436, but that the violation would have been constitutionally harmless due to the fact that regular Police practice would have discovered the same people that were interviewed based on the tainted evidence.\n- The People v. Warren Justin Hardy; following the conviction of the 1998 kidnapping, rape, torture and murder of Ms. Penny Sigler in Long Beach, this automatic death penalty appeal was affirmed by the Supreme Court in a 6-1 decision. Justice Liu dissented on the grounds that the prosecution used peremptory strikes to remove every single black juror from the jury panel of Mr. Hardy, who is black man. Justice Liu concluded that, more likely than not, Mr. Hardy was convicted by a panel that was not selected free of improper discrimination; the majority, however determined that under current law the reasons described by the prosecution for each strike were genuine.\n- The People v. Richard Penunuri; in another 6-1 opinion, the Supreme Court affirmed the death sentence for Mr. Penunuri for the robbery and murder of three victims, along with other crimes. In the dissenting opinion by Justice Cuéllar, the Justice argued that there was prejudicial error in allowing another defendant’s testimony that Mr. Penunuri committed all of the murders to come in without allowing Mr. Penunuri to cross-examine the accomplice. The majority had found the error constitutionally harmless because there was sufficient corroboration from other sources.\nIn the Supreme Court’s Weekly Summary of Accepted Cases, the court has announced that no cases were accepted this week.\nAdditionally, please tune in this week for oral argument that will be occurring before the Supreme Court, and viewable online via the Court’s website, arguments will be heard starting at 2PM on June 5th, and 9AM on June 6th.", "domain": "law"}

Molina\nAs publicized in www.ilsdole.gov.ph\nAugust 19, 2008\nWorkers cooperatives in the Philippines have gradually developed into traditional self-help communities where members are considered owners of the enterprise and at the same time users of the services and activities.\nIn the face of fierce global business competition and rapid technological advancement, alternative work arrangements are being tapped as effective mechanisms to keep pace with globalization. One of these work arrangements is the establishment of workers cooperatives.\nWorkers cooperatives are considered a unique and appropriate medium in the quest for balance between social justice and economic growth. They have economic and social objectives; they are values-driven and community-based; they are people-oriented; and, they develop people-based linkages.\nThus, the Cooperative Development Authority (CDA) reveals that many workers are indeed employed through cooperatives. Statistics from the Bureau of Local Employment (BLE) shows that from only 43 local manpower cooperatives registered as contractors and subcontractors in 2002, the number ballooned to 255 four years after.\nWorkers cooperatives in the Philippines have gradually developed into traditional self-help communities where members are considered owners of the enterprise and at the same time users of the services and activities. Both members and non-members of cooperatives enter into an employer-employee relationship with the cooperative as a separate and distinct legal person. As in any stage of development, new ideas, concepts and patterns carry with it fresh issues, ambiguities and disputes. Thus, we again look up to the Supreme Court for resolution of these issues.\nWorkers Cooperatives and the Right to Collective Bargaining. In a case involving some rank-and-file employees of a cooperative bank who filed a petition for certification election, the latter opposed the petition and insisted that its employees are disqualified from forming labor organizations for purposes of collective bargaining, citing an Opinion rendered by then Solicitor General and Minister of Justice Estelito P. Mendoza.\nThe Court upheld the Opinion which held that an employee of a cooperative who is a member and co-owner thereof cannot invoke the right to collective bargaining. Basing its decision from an obvious practical perspective, the Court said that an owner cannot bargain with himself or his co-owners. However, the Court clarified in this case that employees of cooperatives who are not members co-owners are entitled to exercise the right to organize for purposes of collective bargaining. (Cooperative Rural Bank of Davao City, Inc. vs. Pura Ferrer-Calleja, et.al; G.R. No. 77951; September 26, 1988)\nEnunciated in this case was the “fused personality doctrine.” Under this doctrine, an employee-member is said to have two distinct personalities fused into one: first, as an employee of the cooperative and second, as a member co-owner of the cooperative. Thus, said employee co-owner is not entitled to the right to organize for the purpose of collective bargaining. (Cacdac, Hans Leo J. and Chato, Rebecca C. on Should D.O. No. 18-02 Apply to Manpower Cooperatives?, August 2006)\nThe Court affirmed this doctrine which involved common facts and issues on the cooperative member-employees’ right to organize for the purpose of collective bargaining. (Batangas-I Electric Cooperative Labor Union vs. Romeo Young; G.R. No. 62386; Bulacan II Electric Cooperative, Inc. vs. Peñaflor; G.R. No. 70880; Albay Electric Cooperative I vs. Cresencio B. Trajano; G.R. No. 74560; all dated November 9, 1988; San Jose City Electric Service Cooperative, Inc. known as SAJELCO, vs. Ministry of Labor and Employment; G.R. No. 77231; May 31, 1989)\nWorkers Cooperatives and Labor Standards Compliance. In another case, credit cooperative employees filed a complaint for illegal dismissal with claims for premium pay on holidays and rest days, separation pay, and wage differential. The credit cooperative sought to dismiss said complaint arguing that the complainants are members and co-owners of the cooperative and thus, there is no employer-employee relationship between the credit cooperative and the complainants. The crux of the issues in this case is whether or not said members co-owners are considered employees and thus covered by the Labor Standards Law.\nThe Court held that in determining the existence of an employer-employee relationship, the four-fold test is aptly considered: 1) the selection and engagement of the worker or the power to hire; 2) the power to dismiss; 3) the payment of wages by whatever means; and, 4) the power to control the worker’s conduct. Control assumes primacy in the overall consideration. The Court held that all these elements are present in the case.\nThe Court further explained that although there was no evidence presented to prove that complainants are members co–owners of the cooperative, the complainants by virtue of their being employees are still covered by the Labor Code of the Philippines. They are entitled to minimum wage, overtime pay, rest day, and due process before termination of employment.\nIn sum, the Court considered membership and ownership in a cooperative as irrelevant to the case. The existence of an employer-employee relationship entitles one to labor standards provided for under the Labor Code. This, in effect, sets aside the “fused personality doctrine” in cases involving labor standards compliance. (Perpetual Help Credit Cooperative, Inc. vs Faburada, et. Al;GR No. 121948; October 8, 2001.)\nManpower Service Cooperatives. Cooperatives in the Philippines now play a new role in the world of contracting or subcontracting. The existence of Asiapro and Staff Search Asia Service Cooperative, among others, shows the metamorphosis of this role. From the traditional organization formed for mutual benefit of its worker-members, workers cooperatives are now engaged in supplying manpower. Some manpower cooperatives supply their own members in their subcontracting business.\nLast year, the Court decided a case involving a manpower cooperative. The case involved a shrimp processing company which entered into a contract with a manpower cooperative to provide, among others, messengerial, janitorial, harvesting, sanitation, and washing services. Consequently, members of the cooperative were sent to perform said services to the company.\nThe members filed a complaint which sought to declare themselves as regular members of the principal. The principal opposed the complaint arguing that the members are employees of the independent cooperative contractor.\nThe Court held that the contention of the shrimp processing company holds no basis. Using the “substantial capital” doctrine and the “right of control test”, the Court found that the cooperative had no substantial capital in the form of tools, equipment, machineries, work premises and other materials to qualify itself as an independent contractor. In addition, the shrimp processing company was found to have control of the manner and method on how the work was done. Thus, the complainants were deemed employees not of the cooperative but of the shrimp processing company. (San Miguel Corporation vs. Aballa et. al.; G.R. No. 149011; June 28, 2005)\nThus, what the Court tried to impress in this case is that labor laws find application so long as an employer-employee relationship exists, regardless of the nomenclature and nature of its organization, whether as a partnership, corporation, or cooperative.", "domain": "law"}

The two most commonly identified forms of the crime are sexual exploitation and forced labor.\nWhile victims can be of any age or gender, it is women and children who are most often sexually exploited, and males (men and boys) that are compelled into work. Trafficking victims may also experience other (often under-reported) forms of exploitation and abuse, such as forced begging or marriage, domestic servitude and even organ removal.\nBecause forced labor and trafficking are criminal ventures shrouded in secrecy, it is difficult to measure their economic and societal effects. Data published by the State Department, human rights organizations and other sources paints an unsettling picture of activity in America, where:\n- An estimated 14,500 to 17,500 people are trafficked into the United States each year.\n- The average age of trafficking victims in the U.S. is 20.\n- Victims of trafficking are almost exclusively immigrants, and mostly immigrant women.\n- Forced labor and trafficking are most prevalent in domestic service, agriculture, sweatshops, factories, restaurants, hotel work, and in the sex industry.\n- At least ten thousand people work as forced laborers at any given time.\n- The majority of trafficking cases have been reported in states with high concentrations of immigrants, including New York, California, and Florida.\nTo combat human trafficking inside and outside its borders, the U.S. government follows an integrated ‘3Ps’ framework of prosecution, protection and prevention. As a complement to this approach, officials began employing a fourth ‘P,’ partnerships, in 2009. These alliances are intended to inform the broader anti-trafficking/victim advocacy movement, and to facilitate the sharing of information, services and other resources between NGOs (non-governmental organizations) and law enforcement agencies.\nWhat You Can Do\nAnyone can join in the fight against human trafficking. But making a difference begins with awareness and education. Starting with the links below, we urge you to learn more about the activities and programs supported by frontline aid and assistance organizations. It’s the first step to help you get, be and stay involved:\n- The Polaris Project\n- Department of Homeland Security Blue Campaign\n- Immigration & Customs Enforcement\n- Report on Human Trafficking (2020 Edition)\nAnother practical resource we recommend is the State Department’s “20 Ways You Can Help Stop Human Trafficking.” Tips range from simple to more ambitious, depending how much you want to do.", "domain": "law"}

He had prepared a coffin to be placed in the street, covering it with slogans such as ‘democracy and human rights are above the Winter Olympics’, end one-party dictatorship’.\nJudge Law convicted him under the Anti-Sedition Act, dating back to British colonial times. Unlike the National Security Act, which also provides for life imprisonment, the Anti-Sedition Act sets a maximum sentence of two years.\nKoo is over 70 years old and has already suffered 14 convictions for his activism. He also has stage four cancer, but Judge Law pointed out that the convict’s health condition will not be taken into account for any sentence reduction.\nLaw warned Koo not to ‘politicise’ the trial, but to no avail. The activist closed his speech by saying that being a ‘fighter’ for democracy and freedom is not a problem for him. He reiterated that even if a period in prison awaits him, it is nothing compared to the contribution of Chinese dissidents: ‘“I am unrepentant… [the court] does not need to have mercy on me.

Contact experienced attorney Kim MacLeod today for a free initial consultation regarding Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy.\nKim realizes that you need relief from your financial burdens and is dedicated to giving you one-on-one attention, providing you with the information to help you make an informed, reasoned decision about filing bankruptcy, and assisting you in filing the type of case that best meets your needs. To help you in this process, here are some answers to questions you may have regarding bankruptcy and related issues.\nDoes it make sense for me to file bankruptcy?\nIf you are:\nWhy should I hire an attorney?\nModern bankruptcy involves many complex variables and may be difficult to navigate on your own. An experienced, caring attorney who can guide you through the process may be the key to accomplishing your debt relief goals.\nHow long does the whole bankruptcy process take, once my case is filed with the court?\nA typical Chapter 7 bankruptcy case, where there are no non-protected assets available for sale or liquidation by the court-appointed Trustee overseeing your case, takes about 90 to 120 days from the time your bankruptcy petition and schedules are filed with the court to the date upon which you receive your discharge.\nA Chapter 13 bankruptcy consolidation repayment plan will generally last from 3 to 5 years after the date your bankruptcy petition, schedules and Chapter 13 plan are filed, and the length of your case will depend on a number of factors that an experienced bankruptcy attorney like Kim MacLeod can review with you.\nWhat kinds of debts cannot be wiped out in bankruptcy?\nGenerally, in a bankruptcy case, you will not be able to discharge, or get rid of:\nAll of these debts will survive a Chapter 7 case, but it may be possible for you to file a Chapter 13 repayment plan and pay these obligations back over time. Specifics regarding the debts you will be able to eliminate with Chapter 7 or pay back through Chapter 13 will be reviewed with you when you meet with the attorney.\nWill collection efforts stop once I file a bankruptcy?\nWhen you file a bankruptcy case, a blanket protection called an “automatic stay” immediately goes into effect and generally protects you and your property against collection efforts. Creditors are supposed to stop garnishments and collection pursuits and must hold off on any repossessions or foreclosures of your property.\nHowever, under bankruptcy law, the collection of child support and alimony may still be allowed and may not be stayed by your bankruptcy filing. At your consultation, the attorney can elaborate about how each type of bankruptcy will affect the collection of child support and spousal support/alimony/maintenance.\nIf you are behind on house or car payments, filing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy may only temporarily stop the creditor secured by the property from foreclosing or repossessing, and filing a Chapter 13 debt consolidation plan may be the alternative you need as it will give you time to catch up the past-due amounts.\nThis office can provide details about your options, and can assist you in determining which chapter could be a solution for your future financial stability.\nWill I have to appear in court for my case?\nYes, approximately 4 to 6 weeks after you file a Chapter 7 or a Chapter 13 bankruptcy case, you will have one mandatory appearance at a Section 341 meeting, a hearing also known as a “Meeting of Creditors”. Generally, your creditors do not come to this hearing, but each person filing bankruptcy must be present.\nIn a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the Trustee who has been appointed by the bankruptcy court will conduct the hearing, and will ask you some questions under oath about your bankruptcy paperwork. In a Chapter 13 bankruptcy case, an attorney or representative on behalf of the court-appointed Chapter 13 Trustee will conduct the hearing and ask the questions. You will need to bring picture ID and Social Security number proof with you to the hearing to verify your identity.\nIf you file your case through this office, Kim MacLeod will talk to you about what to expect at the hearing and answer any questions you may have in advance of your hearing date. Kim will also be there at the hearing with you to help you and represent your interests.\nAre there any credit counseling requirements I must meet before or after I file a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 case?\nYes. Within 180 days before filing either a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy case, you must complete a credit counseling course, which you can take online, over the phone or in person. Once you finish the counseling session, you will need to supply this office with your certificate of completion, which will be submitted with your bankruptcy paperwork when your case is filed with the court.\nAfter you file your case, you are required to complete a second financial management/debtor education course, and can often use the same provider. Once you have completed the second class, you will again need to provide this office with the certificate from the course provider so that it can be filed with the bankruptcy court. If you fail to complete the second course within 60 days of your Chapter 7 section 341 hearing or prior to the completion of your Chapter 13 payment plan, your case will be closed by the bankruptcy court and you will not get a discharge of your debts, so your bankruptcy filing will be in vain. It is vitally important that you complete the second course on time, and our office recommends that you take it shortly after your Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 case is filed so that your certificate of completion can be filed with the court well in advance of any deadline.\nNumerous agencies offer the pre-filing credit counseling and post-filing financial management/debtor education courses, but you must choose a provider approved by the United States Trustee, the government agency that oversees all bankruptcy filings. The course providers charge a fee for each class, typically from $10.00 to $50.00 per session, and you will need to pay the providers directly by debit card.\nAt your free initial consultation, attorney Kim MacLeod will give you information on approved credit counseling providers for this jurisdiction, the Western District of Washington, and will explain the two course requirements in greater detail.\nWhat are the fees and costs involved in filing bankruptcy?\nIn addition to the fees you will pay directly to the providers of your pre-filing credit counseling and post-filing debtor education courses, you will have to pay a court filing fee totaling $335.00 for a Chapter 7 case or $310.00 for a Chapter 13 case. The court filing fees can usually be paid in installments, with $100.00 due when your case is filed. The balance of the filing fee must be paid in full, either directly to the court by you in a Chapter 7 proceeding, or through the Chapter 13 repayment plan that you will be funding, by a deadline imposed by the court. This office will advise you of your payment options and deadlines once you decide to file a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 case.\nFor most Chapter 7 cases, you will need to pay the attorney fees in full before your case can be filed with the bankruptcy court, but you can usually retain this office for as little as a $100.00 down payment. The attorney fees involved in your particular case will be quoted to you at your initial meeting with the attorney, and are based on expected attorney time and the complexity of the issues in your case.\nFor most Chapter 13 cases, our office is able to include most, if not all, of your attorney fees within your Chapter 13 repayment plan. Chapter 13 attorney fees are set and approved by the bankruptcy court, and this office can usually file a Chapter 13 case for you and stop your creditors’ actions without you having to pay the bulk or any of your attorney fees in advance.\nYour first consultation with this law firm is always free, and when you meet, you and the attorney can discuss fees and costs, payment options and alternatives for your particular case in greater detail.\nWill I be able to keep all of my property if I file bankruptcy?\nThis office will review all of your real and personal property information with you and can advise you of the protections, or “exemptions”, available to you. Filing bankruptcy does not mean that you will lose everything. Most clients are able to keep their home, car and personal belongings.\nIf you are buying a home, vehicle, or other personal property in which a creditor holds a security interest, you will need to continue making payments on the property in order to retain it. The attorney will go over your options with respect to such property when you meet.\nIf you are behind in making payments on the home, vehicle, or other secured property, you may still be able to keep it if you are able to file a Chapter 13 plan and provide for the maintenance of future installment payments and the cure of past-due payments over the life of a Chapter 13 case.\nThe attorney can talk to you about these possibilities. Feel free to contact this office today!\nHow long will my bankruptcy stay on my credit report?At present, the federal law governing credit-reporting agencies provides that credit bureaus cannot report bankruptcy cases on a person’s credit report after 10 years from the date of the bankruptcy filing. This rule includes the reporting of Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 cases.\nYou can acquire free credit reports once per year, at annualcreditreport.com. Do so if you need to check your reports for accuracy.\nIf I filed bankruptcy before, how soon am I eligible to file another bankruptcy case?\nYou are only allowed one Chapter 7 discharge within 8 years of the date you filed a previous Chapter 7 case. If it has been more than 8 years since a prior Chapter 7 filing, you may be eligible to file Chapter 7 again, and our office can help you in deciding if that option is available to you.\nIn addition, you cannot file a Chapter 7 case within 6 years of a Chapter 13 petition date unless in the prior Chapter 13 case, you paid allowed unsecured claims in full (100%), or you made plan payments in the prior Chapter 13 case of enough to pay at least 70% of allowed unsecured claims and your prior Chapter 13 plan was proposed in good faith and was your best effort. Furthermore, if you filed a prior Chapter 7 case and obtained a Chapter 7 discharge within 4 years of filing a new Chapter 13 case, you will not be able to get a discharge in the new Chapter 13 case. If you filed a prior Chapter 13 case and obtained a Chapter 13 discharge within 2 years of filing a new Chapter 13 case, you will be ineligible for a discharge in the second Chapter 13 case.\nIf one of these situations may apply to you, you can discuss it with attorney Kim MacLeod at your free initial consultation.\nCan I re-establish credit after bankruptcy?\nFiling bankruptcy of any kind will negatively impact your credit rating, but that does not mean that you cannot take steps to re-establish your credit once your bankruptcy case has been discharged.\nIf you filed a Chapter 7 case, you will not be able to file another such case for 8 years. Future creditors may realize that and may be willing to extend you credit, but possibly at an interest rate higher than normal.\nIf you have filed a Chapter 13 case, you generally cannot rebuild your credit until after your plan has been completed, but once your case is discharged, you may also have credit opportunities available to you. The attorney may suggest options for credit rebuilding once you have completed your case.\nYour goals after bankruptcy should be to use credit wisely in the future, budget your expenses and pay your bills on time.", "domain": "law"}

The result of the Civil War was the end of hundreds of years of slavery in the United States. The amendments that brought the legal end to slavery, the citizenship of African Americans and enfranchisement of Blacks were the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments.\nThe 13th Amendment\nThe 13th Amendment was ratified December 6, 1865 and it stated that “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.” This means slavery or forced servitude is unconstitutional and illegal in the United States UNLESS someone has been convicted of a crime. This amendment is controversial because of the second part that allows involuntary servitude when convicted of a crime. It is what has led to the rise of the prison complex in the United States which many believe has replaced slavery in unfairly controlling minorities.\nThe 14th Amendment\nThe 14th Amendment was ratified on July 9, 1868 and it said “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and the State wherein they reside.” This meant that formerly enslaved people officially became citizens of the United States and the states that they lived in. (This is also the amendment that is being challenged by President Trump who wants to end birthright citizenship).\nThe 15th Amendment\nThe 15th Amendment was ratified on February 3, 1870 and says “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude” This amendment successfully gave African American MEN the right to vote because at this time in American history, no woman was extended suffrage.\nThese three amendments are some of the most important in African American History. They freed and legalized Black people, and enfranchised Black Men. During Reconstruction, a time period that lasted from roughly 1865-1877, these amendments were exercised to their full extent. African American men took political office, organized, and Black men and women alike began taking active roles in the communities that once enslaved them. This came with great push back from the White southern communities and is what gave rise to the infamous Klu Klux Klan. Klan members began terrorizing Black communities with horrid violence and intimidation, targeting especially those who exercised their right to vote. Rape was used as a targeted form of violence against Black Women whose husband’s voted or became active in the community. Although not talked about often, African American Women’s history is a long legacy of sexual violence and intimidation; direct retaliation because of their race.\nWith the end of Reconstruction in 1877 mass intimidation, murder, and rape of Black women was used to keep African Americans from even registering to vote. That coupled with state mandated poll taxes, literacy tests, grandfather laws, and other tactics, effectively suppressed the votes of African Americans for decades.\nIn 1920 the 19th Amendment passed. It stated “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.” White women everywhere rejoiced. Now, by all legal standards every United States Citizen had the right to vote, including African American Women and that right to vote could not be denied based on race or sex. The violent intimidation of southern voters did not stop and the efforts of the state to legally suppress African American votes continued so that Southern Blacks continued to be disenfranchised.\nThe Voting Rights Act of 1965\nThis is why the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was important. It was signed into law on August 6, 1965 by President Lyndon Johnson. It did not give African Americans the right to vote, it prevented the states from employing suppressive tactics like poll taxes and literacy tests to keep certain people, mainly African Americans, from voting. The bill stated “An act to enforce the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution…” the notable sections made it illegal for states to require qualifications or prerequisites for voting based on race. It also required states that were using tests or other devices to prevent African Americans from voting or that had less than 50% of the eligible voting population registered to vote before November 1, 1964 to have their elections monitored by the federal government. This act ended decades of voter suppression for African Americans.\nPortions of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 have been repealed by new legislation and voter suppression has taken new forms and targeted minorities and lower income people. Voter picture ID laws, disenfranchisement of convicted felons, and other tactics have been cited as adversely affecting certain groups of people. In the recent election we have seen multiple voting issues across the country most heavily in Florida and Georgia were ballots have gone uncounted, the states have challenged ballots based on signatures, and revoked voter registrations without the voters knowledge because they had not voted in the past two elections.\nVoter suppression is not new and it has not gone away. Thinly veiled racists and elitist tactics to keep certain groups from exercising their right to vote are not a part of our American Democracy and activism is still needed to protect the voices of all American citizens.\n*It is important to note this is a history of suffrage that is specific to African Americans. Other minority groups such as Native Americans, Asian Americans, and Latinx Americans have had their own journeys to full suffrage that do not exactly match this time line*", "domain": "law"}

What I’m looking for is a Loan To Value (LTV) of 80%\nor less. For example, if a property has a market value of\n$100,000, the homeowner can’t owe more than $75,000 -$80,000\non the property.\nWhy? Because I can’t spend more than $75,000 – $80,000 for\nthe property and still make a decent profit.\nThat includes what I pay for the property\n(principle, interest, taxes, and insurance), my repair\ncosts, and my holding costs. I have been known to pass on a\ngreat deal, simply because it was November and I wasn’t\nconvinced that the property would sell before summer.\nI always factor in having to pay the holding costs\non a property for at least six months while I remodel or\nmarket the house.

But I disagree. I look at buying preforeclosures as\nopportunities to help the distressed owners save their\ncredit. When I buy their property, their debt is paid off\nand they are free to move on with their lives.\nForeclosures and other property distress are caused by\ndivorce, unemployment, death, medical emergency, economic\ndownturn, and any number of personal problems.\nRecently, many homeowners bought expensive homes or\nrefinanced to take equity out of their homes when the\ninterest rates dropped. Those that later lost their jobs or\nhad a medical emergency suddenly lost their ability to make\nmortgage payments. Many of those houses are now coming on\nthe market as foreclosures because their owners haven’t been\nable to sell them.They think of me as their guardian angel\nwhen I am able to buy their property prior to the sheriff’s\nsale, save their credit, and pay off their debt.\nFor the most part, homeowners understand I need to make a\nprofit to stay in business.

Understanding how to respond and work towards preventing and ultimately eradicating Intimate partner violence when it comes to the workplace must be a priority for all companies as eliminating IPV is a pre-requisite to achieving the 2030 Agenda.\nHow does intimate partner violence show up in the workplace?\nVictims and survivors of IPV may experience abusive behaviors from their partner even when at work. The ways IPV shows up may vary, but common experiences include:\nThese are any behaviors that delay a person from being able to arrive at work on time or at all, and often occur at home. Workplace disruptions may include:\nAssaulting a partner so they have visible injuries and are unlikely to appear at work\nHiding a partner's car keys, wallet, work computer, or other necessary items to commute to work or do their job.\nCreating conflict in the home that leaves the partner too stressed or upset to arrive at work on time or at all.\nBehaving in a threatening manner towards children or pets so the victim is afraid to leave them alone with their partner.\nON-THE-JOB HARASSMENT, THREATS, AND STALKING\nThese behaviors include any harassment, threats, or stalking that occurs while the victim is at work. In cases of IPV, these behaviors are specifically committed by an intimate partner and intentionally committed while the victim is at work. Some examples include:\nStalking a partner to their place of employment, either physically or digitally.\nThreatening to share personal or intimate photos or videos with the partner's coworkers or supervisor.\nCreating disruptions during the partner's workday that results in their attention being diverted to the abusive partner.\nA study by the University of Kentucky found that 20% of women fatally injured at work were harmed by an abusive partner. That same study found 40% of women who had filed for a restraining order in the previous 12 months reported being harassed, either in person or over the phone, by their partner while at work. A partner may show up to the victim's place of work with the intention of harming the, or with threatening and harassing behaviors that escalate.\nIPV has the potential to have a negative impact on a survivor's productivity. This can show up in a variety of ways, including:\nTime spent managing a partner's behaviors.\nArriving late and leaving early as a result of their partner's behaviors.\nTime off work as a result of injuries.\nDistractions from the stress and trauma created from managing an abusive partner.\nTime off work for court and legal hearings.\nMEDICAL, ADMINISTRATIVE, AND LIABILITY COSTS\nEmployers face increased medical, administrative, and liability costs when employees experience IPV. The increased absenteeism, tardiness, and turnover have a financial toll on companies. If a victim or other employees are harmed by an act of workplace violence triggered by IPV a company may also be liable.\nSafety Planning with Survivors in the Workplace\nCREATE A CULTURE OF CARE\nSurvivors who feel supported by their colleagues are more likely to disclose experiencing IPV. By building a work culture that values people for more than their productivity and encourages people to build relationships with each other, employers may encourage victims to disclose critical safety information that could help protect the victim and all employees.\nDEVELOP A WORKPLACE POLICY\nMany employers report not having a policy to address IPV in the workplace, which often results in reactive and punitive actions against the victim. A policy will provide employers with a guide on how to address issues of IPV in a supportive, collaborative, safe, and effective manner.\nENSURE PHYSICAL SAFETY MEASURES ARE PRESENT\nSurvivors and victims of IPV safety plan on an ongoing basis, which includes assessing their physical environment for ways that will reduce risk and promote safety. Things such as locks on office doors, well-lit hallways and parking lots, and office spaces that are not near windows can increase a survivor's physical safety while at work.\nTAKE RESTRAINING ORDERS SERIOUSLY\nIf a survivor is able to obtain a restraining or protection order, they are often advised by domestic violence advocates to provide a copy to their employers. Many survivors report being afraid to do so for fear that it won't be taken seriously, or that they'll be punished for it. If a survivor provides a copy of a restraining order, it's critical employers take it seriously and support survivors in enforcing it while at work.\nNOTIFY WORKPLACE OR BUILDING SECURITY\nIf a survivor discloses abuse to their employer, one option available is to notify workplace or building security. This should be done with the survivor's consent and in partnership with the survivor.\nWORK WITH SURVIVORS TO ENSURE PERFORMANCE GOALS ARE MET\nIPV can impact a survivor's work performance, especially if time is taken off for court or legal proceedings. Being proactive in discussing this concerns and developing a plan will help to ensure both survivors and their employer's have professional goals met.\nMAKE REASONABLE ACCOMMODATIONS\nSupporting survivors and victims through reasonable accommodations is a critical aspect of comprehensive safety planning. This allows survivors to prioritize their safety so that in the long-term they are able to commit fully to other aspects of their lives. Some reasonable accommodations may include:\nFlexing work schedules to accommodate appointments resulting from the abuse\nAllowing survivors to work from home if necessary for their safety\nCollaborating with survivors to address any performance issues that may arise, and develop a plan to address them.", "domain": "law"}

PARTIES - Federal Rules of Civil Procedure\nRule 17. Parties Plaintiff and Defendant; Capacity\nRule 18. Joinder of Claims and Remedies\nRule 19. Joinder of Persons Needed for Just Adjudication\nRule 20. Permissive Joinder of Parties\nRule 21. Misjoinder and Non-Joinder of Parties\nRule 22. Interpleader\nRule 23. Class Actions\nRule 23.1. Derivative Actions by Shareholders\nRule 23.2. Actions Relating to Unincorporated Associations\nRule 24. Intervention\nRule 25. Substitution of Parties\n(a) Real party in interest.\nEvery action shall be prosecuted in the name of the real party in interest. An executor, administrator, guardian, bailee, trustee of an express trust, a party with whom or in whose name a contract has been made for the benefit of another, or a party authorized by statute may sue in that person's own name without joining the party for whose benefit the action is brought; and when a statute of the United States so provides, an action for the use or benefit of another shall be brought in the name of the United States. No action shall be dismissed on the ground that it is not prosecuted in the name of the real party in interest until a reasonable time has been allowed after objection for ratification of commencement of the action by, or joinder or substitution of, the real party in interest; and such ratification, joinder, or substitution shall have the same effect as if the action had been commenced in the name of the real party in interest.\n(b) Capacity to Sue or be Sued.\nThe capacity of an individual, other than one acting in a representative capacity, to sue or be sued shall be determined by the law of the individual's domicile. The capacity of a corporation to sue or be sued shall be determined by the law under which it was organized. In all other cases capacity to sue or be sued shall be determined by the law of the state in which the district court is held, except (1) that a partnership or other unincorporated association, which has no such capacity by the law of such state, may sue or be sued in its common name for the purpose of enforcing for or against it a substantive right existing under the Constitution or laws of the United States, and (2) that the capacity of a receiver appointed by a court of the United States to sue or be sued in a court of the United States is governed by Title 28, U.S.C., §§ 754 and 959(a).\n(c) Infants or Incompetent Persons.\nWhenever an infant or incompetent person has a representative, such as a general guardian, committee, conservator, or other like fiduciary, the representative may sue or defend on behalf of the infant or incompetent person. An infant or incompetent person who does not have a duly appointed representative may sue by a next friend or by a guardian ad litem. The court shall appoint a guardian ad litem for an infant or incompetent person not otherwise represented in an action or shall make such other order as it deems proper for the protection of the infant or incompetent person.\n(a) Joinder of Claims.\nA party asserting a claim to relief as an original claim, counterclaim, cross-claim, or third-party claim, may join, either as independent or as alternate claims, as many claims, legal, equitable, or maritime, as the party has against an opposing party.\n(b) Joinder of Remedies; Fraudulent Conveyances.\nWhenever a claim is one heretofore cognizable only after another claim has been prosecuted to a conclusion, the two claims may be joined in a single action; but the court shall grant relief in that action only in accordance with the relative substantive rights of the parties. In particular, a plaintiff may state a claim for money and a claim to have set aside a conveyance fraudulent as to that plaintiff, without first having obtained a judgment establishing the claim for money.\n(a) Persons to be Joined if Feasible.\nA person who is subject to service of process and whose joinder will not deprive the court of jurisdiction over the subject matter of the action shall be joined as a party in the action if (1) in the person's absence complete relief cannot be accorded among those already parties, or (2) the person claims an interest relating to the subject of the action and is so situated that the disposition of the action in the person's absence may (i) as a practical matter impair or impede the person's ability to protect that interest or (ii) leave any of the persons already parties subject to a substantial risk of incurring double, multiple, or otherwise inconsistent obligations by reason of the claimed interest. If the person has not been so joined, the court shall order that the person be made a party. If the person should join as a plaintiff but refuses to do so, the person may be made a defendant, or, in a proper case, an involuntary plaintiff. If the joined party objects to venue and joinder of that party would render the venue of the action improper, that party shall be dismissed from the action.\n(b) Determination by Court Whenever Joinder Not Feasible.\nIf a person as described in subdivision (a)(1)-(2) hereof cannot be made a party, the court shall determine whether in equity and good conscience the action should proceed among the parties before it, or should be dismissed, the absent person being thus regarded as indispensable. The factors to be considered by the court include: first, to what extent a judgment rendered in the person's absence might be prejudicial to the person or those already parties; second, the extent to which, by protective provisions in the judgment, by the shaping of relief, or other measures, the prejudice can be lessened or avoided; third, whether a judgment rendered in the person's absence will be adequate; fourth, whether the plaintiff will have an adequate remedy if the action is dismissed for nonjoinder.\n(c) Pleading Reasons for Nonjoinder.\nA pleading asserting a claim for relief shall state the names, if known to the pleader, of any persons as described in subdivision (a)(1)-(2) hereof who are not joined, and the reasons why they are not joined.\n(d) Exception of Class Actions.\nThis rule is subject to the provisions of Rule 23.\nA civil action is commenced by filing a complaint with the court.\n(a) Permissive Joinder.\nAll persons may join in one action as plaintiffs if they assert any right to relief jointly, severally, or in the alternative in respect of or arising out of the same transaction, occurrence, or series of transactions or occurrences and if any question of law or fact common to all these persons will arise in the action. All persons (and any vessel, cargo or other property subject to admiralty process in rem) may be joined in one action as defendants if there is asserted against them jointly, severally, or in the alternative, any right to relief in respect of or arising out of the same transaction, occurrence, or series of transactions or occurrences and if any question of law or fact common to all defendants will arise in the action. A plaintiff or defendant need not be interested in obtaining or defending against all the relief demanded. Judgment may be given for one or more of the plaintiffs according to their respective rights to relief, and against one or more defendants according to their respective liabilities.\n(b) Separate Trials.\nThe court may make such orders as will prevent a party from being embarrassed, delayed, or put to expense by the inclusion of a party against whom the party asserts no claim and who asserts no claim against the party, and may order separate trials or make other orders to prevent delay or prejudice.\nMisjoinder of parties is not ground for dismissal of an action. Parties may be dropped or added by order of the court on motion of any party or of its own initiative at any stage of the action and on such terms as are just. Any claim against a party may be severed and proceeded with separately.\n(1) Persons having claims against the plaintiff may be joined as defendants and required to interplead when their claims are such that the plaintiff is or may be exposed to double or multiple liability. It is not ground for objection to the joinder that the claims of the several claimants or the titles on which their claims depend do not have a common origin or are not identical but are adverse to and independent of one another, or that the plaintiff avers that the plaintiff is not liable in whole or in part to any or all of the claimants. A defendant exposed to similar liability may obtain such interpleader by way of cross-claim or counterclaim. The provisions of this rule supplement and do not in any way limit the joinder of parties permitted in Rule 20.\n(2) The remedy herein provided is in addition to and in no way supersedes or limits the remedy provided by Title 28, U.S.C. §§ 1335, 1397, and 2361. Actions under those provisions shall be conducted in accordance with these rules.\n(a) Prerequisites to a Class Action.\nOne or more members of a class may sue or be sued as representative parties on behalf of all only if (1) the class is so numerous that joinder of all members is impracticable, (2) there are questions of law or fact common to the class, (3) the claims or defenses of the representative parties are typical of the claims or defenses of the class, and (4) the representative parties will fairly and adequately protect the interests of the class.\n(b) Class Actions Maintainable.\nAn action may be maintained as a class action if the prerequisites of subdivision (a) are satisfied, and in addition:\n(1) the prosecution of separate actions by or against individual members of the class would create a risk of\n(A) inconsistent or varying adjudications with respect to individual members of the class which would establish incompatible standards of conduct for the party opposing the class, or\n(B) adjudications with respect to individual members of the class which would as a practical matter be dispositive of the interests of the other members not parties to the adjudications or substantially impair or impede their ability to protect their interests; or\n(2) the party opposing the class has acted or refused to act on grounds generally applicable to the class, thereby making appropriate final injunctive relief or corresponding declaratory relief with respect to the class as a whole; or\n(3) the court finds that the questions of law or fact common to the members of the class predominate over any questions affecting only individual members, and that a class action is superior to other available methods for the fair and efficient adjudication of the controversy. The matters pertinent to the findings include: (A) the interest of members of the class in individually controlling the prosecution or defense of separate actions; (B) the extent and nature of any litigation concerning the controversy already commenced by or against members of the class; (C) the desirability or undesirability of concentrating the litigation of the claims in the particular forum; (D) the difficulties likely to be encountered in the management of a class action.\n(c) Determining by Order Whether to Certify a Class Action; Appointing Class Counsel; Notice and Membership in Class; Judgment; Multiple Classes and Subclasses.\n(1) (A) When a person sues or is sued as a representative of a class, the court must — at an early practicable time — determine by order whether to certify the action as a class action..\n(B) An order certifying a class action must define the class and the class claims, issues, or defenses, and must appoint class counsel under Rule 23(g).\n(C) An order under Rule 23(c)(1) may be altered or amended before final judgment.\n(2) (A) For any class certified under Rule 23(b)(1) or (2), the court may direct appropriate notice to the class.\n(B) For any class certified under Rule 23(b)(3), the court must direct to class members the best notice practicable under the circumstances, including individual notice to all members who can be identified through reasonable effort. The notice must concisely and clearly state in plain, easily understood language:\n- the nature of the action,\n- the definition of the class certified,\n- the class claims, issues, or defenses,\n- that a class member may enter an appearance through counsel if the member so desires,\n- that the court will exclude from the class any member who requests exclusion, stating when and how members may elect to be excluded, and\n- the binding effect of a class judgment on class members under Rule 23(c)(3).\n(3) The judgment in an action maintained as a class action under subdivision (b)(1) or (b)(2), whether or not favorable to the class, shall include and describe those whom the court finds to be members of the class. The judgment in an action maintained as a class action under subdivision (b)(3), whether or not favorable to the class, shall include and specify or describe those to whom the notice provided in subdivision (c)(2) was directed, and who have not requested exclusion, and whom the court finds to be members of the class.\n(4) When appropriate (A) an action may be brought or maintained as a class action with respect to particular issues, or (B) a class may be divided into subclasses and each subclass treated as a class, and the provisions of this rule shall then be construed and applied accordingly.\n(d) Orders in Conduct of Actions.\nIn the conduct of actions to which this rule applies, the court may make appropriate orders: (1) determining the course of proceedings or prescribing measures to prevent undue repetition or complication in the presentation of evidence or argument; (2) requiring, for the protection of the members of the class or otherwise for the fair conduct of the action, that notice be given in such manner as the court may direct to some or all of the members of any step in the action, or of the proposed extent of the judgment, or of the opportunity of members to signify whether they consider the representation fair and adequate, to intervene and present claims or defenses, or otherwise to come into the action; (3) imposing conditions on the representative parties or on intervenors; (4) requiring that the pleadings be amended to eliminate therefrom allegations as to representation of absent persons, and that the action proceed accordingly; (5) dealing with similar procedural matters. The orders may be combined with an order under Rule 16, and may be altered or amended as may be desirable from time to time.\n(e) Settlement, Voluntary Dismissal, or Compromise.\n(1) (A) The court must approve any settlement, voluntary dismissal, or compromise of the claims, issues, or defenses of a certified class.\n(B) The court must direct notice in a reasonable manner to all class members who would be bound by a proposed settlement, voluntary dismissal, or compromise.\n(C) The court may approve a settlement, voluntary dismissal, or compromise that would bind class members only after a hearing and on finding that the settlement, voluntary dismissal, or compromise is fair, reasonable, and adequate.\n(2) The parties seeking approval of a settlement, voluntary dismissal, or compromise under Rule 23(e)(1) must file a statement identifying any agreement made in connection with the proposed settlement, voluntary dismissal, or compromise.\n(3) In an action previously certified as a class action under Rule 23(b)(3), the court may refuse to approve a settlement unless it affords a new opportunity to request exclusion to individual class members who had an earlier opportunity to request exclusion but did not do so.\n(4) (A) Any class member may object to a proposed settlement, voluntary dismissal, or compromise that requires court approval under Rule 23(e)(1)(A).\n(B) An objection made under Rule 23(e)(4)(A) may be withdrawn only with the court's approval.\nA court of appeals may in its discretion permit an appeal from an order of a district court granting or denying class action certification under this rule if application is made to it within ten days after entry of the order. An appeal does not stay proceedings in the district court unless the district judge or the court of appeals so orders.\n(g) Class Counsel.\n(1) Appointing Class Counsel.\n(A) Unless a statute provides otherwise, a court that certifies a class must appoint class counsel.\n(B) An attorney appointed to serve as class counsel must fairly and adequately represent the interests of the class.\n(C) In appointing class counsel, the court\n(i) must consider:\n- the work counsel has done in identifying or investigating potential claims in the action,\n- counsel's experience in handling class actions, other complex litigation, and claims of the type asserted in the action,\n- counsel's knowledge of the applicable law, and\n- the resources counsel will commit to representing the class;\n(ii) may consider any other matter pertinent to counsel's ability to fairly and adequately represent the interests of the class;\n(iii) may direct potential class counsel to provide information on any subject pertinent to the appointment and to propose terms for attorney fees and nontaxable costs; and\n(iv) may make further orders in connection with the appointment.\n(2) Appointment Procedure.\n(A) The court may designate interim counsel to act on behalf of the putative class before determining whether to certify the action as a class action.\n(B) When there is one applicant for appointment as class counsel, the court may appoint that applicant only if the applicant is adequate under Rule 23(g)(1)(B) and (C). If more than one adequate applicant seeks appointment as class counsel, the court must appoint the applicant best able to represent the interests of the class.\n(C) The order appointing class counsel may include provisions about the award of attorney fees or nontaxable costs under Rule 23(h).\n(h) Attorney Fees Award.\nIn an action certified as a class action, the court may award reasonable attorney fees and nontaxable costs authorized by law or by agreement of the parties as follows:\n(1) Motion for Award of Attorney Fees.\nA claim for an award of attorney fees and nontaxable costs must be made by motion under Rule 54(d)(2), subject to the provisions of this subdivision, at a time set by the court. Notice of the motion must be served on all parties and, for motions by class counsel, directed to class members in a reasonable manner.\n(2) Objections to Motion.\nA class member, or a party from whom payment is sought, may object to the motion.\n(3) Hearing and Findings.\nThe court may hold a hearing and must find the facts and state its conclusions of law on the motion under Rule 52(a).\n(4) Reference to Special Master or Magistrate Judge.\nThe court may refer issues related to the amount of the award to a special master or to a magistrate judge as provided in Rule 54(d)(2)(D).\nIn a derivative action brought by one or more shareholders or members to enforce a right of a corporation or of an unincorporated association, the corporation or association having failed to enforce a right which may properly be asserted by it, the complaint shall be verified and shall allege (1) that the plaintiff was a shareholder or member at the time of the transaction of which the plaintiff complains or that the plaintiff's share or membership thereafter devolved on the plaintiff by operation of law, and (2) that the action is not a collusive one to confer jurisdiction on a court of the United States which it would not otherwise have. The complaint shall also allege with particularity the efforts, if any, made by the plaintiff to obtain the action the plaintiff desires from the directors or comparable authority and, if necessary, from the shareholders or members, and the reasons for the plaintiff's failure to obtain the action or for not making the effort. The derivative action may not be maintained if it appears that the plaintiff does not fairly and adequately represent the interests of the shareholders or members similarly situated in enforcing the right of the corporation or association. The action shall not be dismissed or compromised without the approval of the court, and notice of the proposed dismissal or compromise shall be given to shareholders or members in such manner as the court directs.\nAn action brought by or against the members of an unincorporated association as a class by naming certain members as representative parties may be maintained only if it appears that the representative parties will fairly and adequately protect the interests of the association and its members. In the conduct of the action the court may make appropriate orders corresponding with those described in Rule 23(d), and the procedure for dismissal or compromise of the action shall correspond with that provided in Rule 23(e).\n(a) Intervention of Right.\nUpon timely application anyone shall be permitted to intervene in an action: (1) when a statute of the United States confers an unconditional right to intervene; or (2) when the applicant claims an interest relating to the property or transaction which is the subject of the action and the applicant is so situated that the disposition of the action may as a practical matter impair or impede the applicant's ability to protect that interest, unless the applicant's interest is adequately represented by existing parties.\n(b) Permissive Intervention.\nUpon timely application anyone may be permitted to intervene in an action: (1) when a statute of the United States confers a conditional right to intervene; or (2) when an applicant's claim or defense and the main action have a question of law or fact in common. When a party to an action relies for ground of claim or defense upon any statute or executive order administered by a federal or state governmental officer or agency or upon any regulation, order, requirement, or agreement issued or made pursuant to the statute or executive order, the officer or agency upon timely application may be permitted to intervene in the action. In exercising its discretion the court shall consider whether the intervention will unduly delay or prejudice the adjudication of the rights of the original parties.\nA person desiring to intervene shall serve a motion to intervene upon the parties as provided in Rule 5. The motion shall state the grounds therefor and shall be accompanied by a pleading setting forth the claim or defense for which intervention is sought. The same procedure shall be followed when a statute of the United States gives a right to intervene.\nWhen the constitutionality of an act of Congress affecting the public interest is drawn in question in any action in which the United States or an officer, agency, or employee thereof is not a party, the court shall notify the Attorney General of the United States as provided in Title 28, U.S.C., § 2403. When the constitutionality of any statute of a State affecting the public interest is drawn in question in any action in which that State or any agency, officer, or employee thereof is not a party, the court shall notify the attorney general of the State as provided in Title 28, U.S.C. § 2403. A party challenging the constitutionality of legislation should call the attention of the court to its consequential duty, but failure to do so is not a waiver of any constitutional right otherwise timely asserted.\n(1) If a party dies and the claim is not thereby extinguished, the court may order substitution of the proper parties. The motion for substitution may be made by any party or by the successors or representatives of the deceased party and, together with the notice of hearing, shall be served on the parties as provided in Rule 5 and upon persons not parties in the manner provided in Rule 4 for the service of a summons, and may be served in any judicial district. Unless the motion for substitution is made not later than 90 days after the death is suggested upon the record by service of a statement of the fact of the death as provided herein for the service of the motion, the action shall be dismissed as to the deceased party.\n(2) In the event of the death of one or more of the plaintiffs or of one or more of the defendants in an action in which the right sought to be enforced survives only to the surviving plaintiffs or only against the surviving defendants, the action does not abate. The death shall be suggested upon the record and the action shall proceed in favor of or against the surviving parties.\nIf a party becomes incompetent, the court upon motion served as provided in subdivision (a) of this rule may allow the action to be continued by or against the party's representative.\n(c) Transfer of Interest.\nIn case of any transfer of interest, the action may be continued by or against the original party, unless the court upon motion directs the person to whom the interest is transferred to be substituted in the action or joined with the original party. Service of the motion shall be made as provided in subdivision (a) of this rule.\n(d) Public Officers; Death or Separation From Office.\n(1) When a public officer is a party to an action in an official capacity and during its pendency dies, resigns, or otherwise ceases to hold office, the action does not abate and the officer's successor is automatically substituted as a party. Proceedings following the substitution shall be in the name of the substituted party, but any misnomer not affecting the substantial rights of the parties shall be disregarded. An order of substitution may be entered at any time, but the omission to enter such an order shall not affect the substitution.\n(2) A public officer who sues or is sued in an\nofficial capacity may be described as a party by the officer's official\ntitle rather than by name; but the court may require the officer's name\nto be added.", "domain": "law"}

St. Andrew's completed in four rounds: against Ursuline Academy in the first and fourth round, against Wilmington Christian School in the second round, and \"Tower Hill was our third round adversary,\" said Mock Trial Head Coach Dan O'Connell. \"In the end, with three wins and one loss, our standing was seventh out of 24 teams.\"\n\"The mock trial case this year was unusually complex and distinctly Delawarean,\" O'Connell continued. \"The president of a shipping company from a tiny Middle Eastern nation, called Aladin, was suing a Delaware shipping company (Delaware Auto and Marine Inc. or \"DAM\") for preventing an attempted hostile takeover. The foreign company claimed that the Delaware company acted unlawfully in blocking the takeover. In response, DAM asserted that the acquiring company has terrorist ties, and therefore, their takeover bid should be declined.\" O'Connell wrote the below recaps of each team member's performance in the courtroom.\nRiley Baker '21 and Noor El-Baradie '19\nIn the first round, our team represented the plaintiff side. Noor El-Baradie '19 played the role of the plaintiff—the president of the Middle Eastern shipping company. Noor's job was to persuade the jury of two facts: first, that the price she offered to purchase DAM was generous, and second, that neither she nor her company has ties to terrorism. Before Noor testified, attorney Riley Baker '21 outlined the entirety of the plaintiff's case in her opening statement. Riley's opening made the complexities of this convoluted case clear. She also conveyed the plaintiff's perspective in a compelling and sympathetic narrative. Noor was particularly effective in shaming the defendants for stereotyping people from the Middle East. With the help of Riley's well-prepared questions, Noor infused her performance with emotion and incisive argument. She earned the Most Effective Witness Award in the third round of the competition.\nCarson McCoy '19 and Iris Hwang '20\nAlso testifying for the plaintiff, Carson McCoy '19 played the part of a financial expert. Although he had to concede that he used some unusual methods when evaluating the Delaware company, Carson spoke with so much confidence and expertise that the jury was charmed, rather than being alarmed, by his eccentricities. Carson was awarded the Most Effective Witness Award in the first round of the competition. Iris Hwang '20 was the attorney who directed the presentation of Carson's testimony. She also protected him during cross examination by responding deftly to objections.\nIris, the most experienced member of our plaintiff's team, anchored the team throughout the trial. She also carried the most difficult task—delivering a closing argument just two minutes after the end of the trial. Her comprehensive understanding of the evidence enabled her to actively incorporate the events at trial, rather than merely reciting a memorized speech.\nMary Puryear '19 and Madeline Birkness '21\nFor the last of the plaintiff's witnesses, Mary Puryear '19 performed the direct examination of a disappointed retiree, played by Madeline Birkness '21. Madeline needed to explain that, as a stockholder, DAM's failure to even consider the takeover violated her rights. Madeline inhabited this character thoroughly. Although she seemed to be an innocent \"little old lady,\" the power of her testimony and her sharp response during cross examination were crucial to the plaintiff's success. After each trial Mary was commended by the judges for her poise and for her ability to smile agreeably when demolishing her opponents.\nBilal Morsi '19 and Logan Brown '19\nLogan Brown '19 played the part of Pat Kent, the 65 year-old founder and chief executive of DAM. With the help of Bilal Morsi '19, his attorney, Logan portrayed a proud, ambitious and steady businessman who testified that he was only looking out for his investors and for national security. Logan was awarded the Most Effective Witness Award in each of his two performances. One of Bilal's finest moments occurred during cross-examination of the plaintiff's financial expert. After mentioning two factors that could influence the value of a company, the expert claimed to have used both factors in evaluating a company's value. However, the case materials included an affidavit in which this expert clearly favored a single bizarre and irrational cause. The expert attempted to exploit ambiguity in the affidavit. However, Bilal displayed his skills at close reading and quick thinking by pointing out that the phrase \"that is the reason\" is not the equivalent of \"those are the reasons\" and the judge compelled the witness to testify consistently with her affidavit.\nAustin Daly '22 and Arvin Vanikar '21\nAustin Daly '22 and Arvin Vanikar '21 are two to the three new underformers on the team this year, and both were a thrill to watch. One of the most dramatic moments of the entire competition was Austin's cross-examination of the retired shareholder. Unfortunately for Austin, delay by an earlier witness caused our team to have only 98 seconds remaining when Austin began his cross-examination. Typically cross-examinations are between five and ten minutes long and Austin had never practiced a cross-examination lasting less than five minutes. However, when he launched his assault—which aimed to show that a personal medical emergency made this witness unreliable—Austin's amazed with his rapid-fire questioning. Incredibly, he completed his cross with twenty seconds to spare. Austin also performed the direct examination of Arvin Vanikar '21 and gave the closing argument for the defense. When Arvin took the witness stand it was like every spectator had been given a shot of caffeine. Arvin's emphatic tone and the punchy directness of his responses was extremely effective.\nCierra Martinez '20 and Liam O'Connell '19\nLiam O'Connell '19 played the role of a former CIA spy. On cross-examination, Liam's opponent's line of questions sought to to cast doubt on the evidence Liam collected while spying in Aladin. Liam testified that he personally witnessed the president of Aladin speaking to a notorious terrorist while the two walked together at the president's secluded private retreat. Liam was pressured to admit that, although he had witnessed this meeting, he could not say with confidence that president and the terrorist actually talked to each other. Liam undermined this attack by admitting in a facetious tone, \"Yes, I suppose the president of Aladin and this terrorist might have just been walking together in silence.\" When spectators in the gallery laughed at this notion, Liam's point was proved.\nIn addition to her direct examination of Liam's character, attorney Cierra Martinez '20 also performed the cross-examination of the plaintiff. In rounds two and four, much of Cierra's attention was necessarily devoted to arguing objections. In round two she was often responding to objections raised by her adversary. She did so impressively. However, she also learned to take control and by the fourth trial she shocked and delighted the St. Andrew's side with her frequent and well-argued objections. Where most novices would stutter or pause, Cierra would just sigh, before arguing her case with ease.\nIn addition to parents, the St. Andrew's spectator's gallery included Mr. Roach, Mr. Speers, Ms. Kerrane, and Ms. Tully. We are all very grateful for their support. For the second year Riley Baker's mother, Stacey Baker P'21, flew in from Chicago to support the team. She spectated all four rounds and helped drive students to and from the courthouse on both Friday and Saturday.\n- All School News\n- Clubs and Activites News\n- Homepage News\n- Student Life News", "domain": "law"}

Steroids are a popular supplement in the bodybuilding world, as they can help athletes build muscle and improve their performance. However, they’re also a controlled substance in many countries, which means that traveling with them can be risky.\nWhen it comes to traveling with steroids, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. First and foremost, you need to make sure that the steroids you’re carrying are legal in the country you’re traveling to. Different countries have different laws regarding steroids, so it’s important to do your research before you leave. You should also make sure that you have any necessary paperwork, such as a prescription or a doctor’s note, to prove that you’re using the steroids for medical purposes.\nAnother important consideration when traveling with steroids is safety. Steroids can be dangerous if they’re not used properly, and traveling can increase the risks associated with their use. For example, if you’re traveling to a country with a different climate or altitude than your own, you may need to adjust your dosage to compensate for the change. You should also make sure that you’re storing your steroids properly, as exposure to heat or moisture can damage them and reduce their effectiveness.\nOverall, traveling with steroids as a bodybuilder requires careful planning and preparation. By doing your research, taking the necessary precautions, and following the advice of your doctor, you can ensure that you stay safe and legal while getting the most out of your supplements.\nTraveling with Steroids: Legal Implications\nIf you are a bodybuilder who needs to travel with steroids, it is important to understand the legal implications of doing so. Possession and distribution of steroids is illegal in many countries, and can result in severe legal trouble, including jail time and hefty fines. In this section, we will discuss the laws and regulations surrounding steroid possession and use, and what you need to know to avoid criminal charges.\nLaws and Regulations\nSteroids are considered a controlled substance in many countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom. This means that they are regulated by law, and possession or distribution without a prescription can result in criminal charges. In the US, steroids are classified as Schedule III drugs, which means that they have a moderate to low potential for abuse and dependence. However, possession of steroids without a prescription can still result in up to one year in jail and a fine of $1,000 for a first offense.\nIn the UK, steroids are classified as Class C drugs, which means that they are illegal to possess without a prescription. Possession of steroids for personal use can result in a maximum sentence of two years in prison and an unlimited fine. If you are caught with steroids with intent to supply, the penalties can be much more severe, including up to 14 years in prison and an unlimited fine.\nTips for Traveling with Steroids\nIf you need to travel with steroids for personal use, there are a few things you can do to minimize your legal risks:\n- Carry a prescription: If you have a legitimate prescription for steroids, carry it with you when you travel. This can help you avoid legal trouble if you are questioned by customs or law enforcement officials.\n- Keep quantities small: Only carry the amount of steroids you need for your trip, and keep it in its original packaging. This can help you avoid suspicion and reduce the risk of criminal charges.\n- Be discreet: Avoid drawing attention to yourself when traveling with steroids. Keep them in your carry-on luggage or on your person, and don’t discuss them with strangers or airport officials.\n- Research local laws: Before you travel, research the laws and regulations surrounding steroids in your destination country. This can help you avoid legal trouble and ensure that you are in compliance with local regulations.\nIn conclusion, traveling with steroids can be risky and potentially result in legal trouble. It is important to understand the laws and regulations surrounding steroid possession and use, and take steps to minimize your legal risks when traveling. By carrying a prescription, keeping quantities small, being discreet, and researching local laws, you can help ensure a safe and legal trip.\nTransporting Steroids: Precautions and Guidelines\nWhen traveling with steroids, it is important to take necessary precautions to ensure safe and legal transport. Here are some guidelines to follow:\nWhen packing steroids, it is recommended to use airtight and leak-proof containers to avoid any spillage or contamination. Lock boxes or hidden compartments can also provide extra security during transport. It is important to label the containers with the name of the steroid and dosage to avoid any confusion.\nMake sure to carry documentation that proves the legality of the steroids you are carrying. This can include a prescription from a reliable source or a doctor’s note explaining the need for the medication. It is also important to research customs regulations in the country you are traveling to, as some countries have strict laws regarding the possession of steroids.\nSuitcase vs. Checked Luggage\nWhen deciding whether to pack steroids in a suitcase or checked luggage, it is important to consider the risks involved. While it may be more convenient to carry steroids in a suitcase, there is a higher risk of theft or loss. Checked luggage may provide more security, but there is always a chance of it being lost or delayed. It is important to have a backup plan in case of any unforeseen circumstances.\nIt is important to note that the possession and distribution of steroids without a prescription is illegal in many countries. In addition to legal repercussions, there may also be hormonal imbalances and other health risks associated with the use of steroids. It is important to consult with a doctor before taking any steroids and to transport them safely and legally.\nWhen arriving at your destination, it is important to store steroids in a secure location to avoid any accidents or theft. Keep them out of reach of children and pets, and make sure to dispose of any unused medication properly.\nIn summary, transporting steroids requires careful planning and adherence to legal regulations. Use airtight and leak-proof containers, carry necessary documentation, and research customs regulations before traveling. Consider the risks involved with packing steroids in a suitcase versus checked luggage, and ensure a secure location upon arrival. Remember to always consult with a doctor before taking any steroids to avoid potential health risks.\nBodybuilding and Steroids: Muscle Growth and Physical Appearance\nIf you’re a bodybuilder, you’re always looking for ways to improve your performance and physical appearance. One of the most popular ways to do this is by using steroids. While steroids can help you build muscle and improve your physical appearance, they also come with risks and side effects. In this section, we’ll explore the relationship between bodybuilding and steroids, and how they can impact your muscle growth and physical appearance.\nMuscle Cells and Blood Flow\nWhen you work out, your muscles need oxygen and nutrients to function properly. Steroids can increase the number of red blood cells in your body, which can improve blood flow to your muscles. This can help improve muscle growth and recovery time after a workout.\nMuscle Building and Upper Body\nSteroids can help you build muscle, especially in your upper body. They can increase protein synthesis, which is the process by which your body builds muscle. This can help you gain strength and muscle size, especially in your chest, shoulders, and arms.\nHGH and Androgen Receptors\nHuman growth hormone (HGH) is another popular steroid used by bodybuilders. HGH can stimulate the growth of muscle cells and increase the number of androgen receptors in your body. Androgen receptors are responsible for binding with testosterone, which is an important hormone for muscle growth.\nV-Shaped Body and Mineralization\nMany bodybuilders strive for a V-shaped body, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. Steroids can help you achieve this look by increasing muscle mass in your upper body and reducing body fat around your waist. They can also increase bone mineralization, which can improve your overall bone health.\nLean Body Mass and Bodyfat\nSteroids can help you build lean body mass, which is the weight of your body minus fat. They can also reduce body fat, which can improve your physical appearance. However, it’s important to note that steroids can also cause health problems, including liver damage and other serious side effects.\nIn conclusion, while steroids can help improve your muscle growth and physical appearance, they come with risks and side effects. It’s important to talk to your doctor before using steroids, and to use them only under medical supervision. Remember, hard work and a good workout routine can help you achieve your bodybuilding goals without the use of steroids.\nAthletic Performance and Steroids: Endurance and Stamina\nWhen it comes to athletic performance, endurance and stamina are critical elements that can make the difference between winning and losing. Steroids have long been used by bodybuilders to enhance their performance, and one of the primary benefits of using steroids is the improvement of endurance and stamina.\nSteroids work by increasing the production of red blood cells, which carry oxygen to the muscles. This increased oxygenation of the muscles allows for greater endurance and stamina during workouts. Additionally, steroids can help to reduce fatigue and muscle damage, allowing bodybuilders to train harder and longer.\nOne of the most popular steroids used by bodybuilders to improve endurance is EPO (erythropoietin). EPO is a hormone that stimulates the production of red blood cells, leading to increased oxygenation of the muscles. This increased oxygenation can help to improve endurance and stamina, allowing bodybuilders to train harder and longer.\nAnother popular steroid used by bodybuilders to improve endurance is Clenbuterol. Clenbuterol is a beta-2 agonist that is commonly used as a bronchodilator to treat asthma. However, it also has a thermogenic effect that can increase metabolism and energy levels, leading to improved endurance and stamina.\nIn addition to these steroids, bodybuilders may also use supplements such as creatine and beta-alanine to improve endurance and stamina. Creatine is a naturally occurring compound that helps to produce energy in the muscles, while beta-alanine helps to reduce fatigue and improve endurance.\nOverall, the use of steroids and supplements can have a significant impact on athletic performance, particularly when it comes to endurance and stamina. However, it is important to note that the use of steroids is not without risks, and should always be done under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Additionally, it is important to remember that steroids are not a substitute for hard work and dedication in training and nutrition.\nIn conclusion, traveling with steroids as a bodybuilder can be a tricky and risky process. It is important to take necessary precautions and be aware of the legal implications of carrying steroids across borders.\nWhen traveling with steroids, it is crucial to research the laws of the country you are visiting to avoid any legal issues. Some countries have strict laws regarding the use and possession of steroids, and it is important to be aware of these laws before traveling.\nTo minimize risks, it is recommended to carry a doctor’s prescription for the steroids you are carrying. This can help prove that the steroids are for personal use and not for distribution.\nWhile steroids can be beneficial for bodybuilding and muscle growth, it is important to use them responsibly and under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Overuse of steroids can have negative effects on your health and fitness goals.\nAs an athlete, it is important to prioritize your health and safety above all else. Traveling with steroids requires careful planning and precautions to avoid legal issues and health risks.\nOverall, traveling with steroids as a bodybuilder requires careful consideration and preparation. By taking necessary precautions and being aware of the legal and health risks, you can safely and responsibly use steroids to support your fitness goals.", "domain": "law"}

This is the reality for many who are injured in an accident with a drunk driver.\nIn any accident where serious injuries are suffered, the authorities will come in and conduct an investigation into the details of the car accident. If it’s suspected that a driver was impaired and caused a drunk driving accident, authorities may test BAC level or do sobriety tests, among other facets of any investigation, to help to determine fault. Other facts about the crash or the timeline of events leading up to a crash, can help to determine intoxication or impairment as well. When armed with that information, what do you do next?\nThe criminal portion of the justice system may already be at work, seeking to prosecute for criminal behaviors of a driver behind the wheel. However, the injured has the right to seek a personal injury suit that, if successful, would yield damages for the injured. Fault is based on negligence. All drivers owe themselves and others a duty of care when they get behind the wheel, failure to do so is negligence.\nDrunk driving accidents are something that everyone hopes or thinks won’t happen to them.

(Photo: Peel Regional Police)\nPolice investigating a rash of “smash-and-grab” jewelry store robberies in Mississauga and Brampton say the culprits behind the violent heists are likely also responsible for some of the other similar holdups across the GTA and elsewhere.\nNumerous jewelry stores in Peel, Burlington, Toronto, Oshawa and the Niagara region (St. Catharines) have been targeted in similar fashion dating back months now.\nIn most, if not all cases, multiple masked culprits burst into the stores and begin smashing display cases with hammers as frightened customers and employees flee the shops.\nMost recently, three teens — two from Toronto, the other from Brampton — were arrested in the wake of a jewelry store robbery in Oshawa this past weekend. A fourth suspect remains at large.\nIn that heist, four people burst into a jewelry shop inside the Oshawa Centre just before 9 p.m. closing time on Saturday night and began smashing display cases before scooping up jewelry and fleeing.\nAnd last Wednesday night at Bramalea City Centre in Brampton, Elegant Goldsmith Jewelry was targeted by four males at about 8:45 p.m.\nThe culprits entered the store, smashed display cases and tossed items into a duffel bag before speeding away from the scene in a waiting getaway vehicle, according to Peel Regional Police.\nNo arrests have been made in that robbery.\nThe string of violent heists has Peel police detectives and their counterparts in several other jurisdictions comparing notes to see if, among other things, the same culprits are behind some of the violent heists.\n“Oftentimes, robbery detectives are able to quickly link suspects to multiple smash-and-grab-style robberies", "domain": "law"}

Greed, arrogance, injustice, corruption - it has it all, and, sadly, it’s all true. Fortunately, it also has some heroes. This is a book I wish I had written.” —John Grisham\n\"Riveting and compulsively readable...Leamer has produced a Shakespearean tale of greed, corporate irresponsability, and personal hubris on the one hand, and idealism, commitment to justice, and personal sacrifice on the other. Blankenship is a villian for all time, and Stanley and Fawcett are lawyers who bring honor to their profession.\"\n“A compelling nonfiction thriller…Leamer is masterful at presenting the important issues, strong personalities, political and legal machinations and economic stakes of the challenge to Massey, looking beyond the law to reveal a case about social inequities, greed, and arrogance.\n“Leamer unfolds this amazing account of contemporary political corruption, skullduggery and mayhem. An eye-opening story about the relations among politics, business and justice.”\n\"The Price of Justiceprovides a captivating journalistic account of an Appalachian legal odyssey that culminated in a 5-4 U.S. Supreme Court opinion about fundamental fairness in civil litigation.Leamer excels at describing the joys and strains of both trial preparation and the trial itself, all of which will seem familiar to any civil litigator.\"\n“Don Blankenship and Massey Energy have caused catastrophic environmental damage in Appalachia. But thanks to two intrepid lawyers, there is hope in the ravaged land. The Price of Justice is bound to be an environmental and legal classic.” —Bobby Kennedy Jr, Senior attorney for Natural Resources Defense Council and President, Waterkeeper Alliance\n“The Price of Justice is the nail biting, harrowing story of two courageous trial lawyers’ facing down corporate greed, wall street law firms, powerful politicians and corrupt judges in the hard scrabble and dangerous coal fields of West Virginia to protect the safety of miners and the health of our nation. I have nothing but admiration for these lawyers and this modern-day David and Goliath tale.” —Morris Dees, Founder and Chief Trial Counsel, Southern Poverty Law Center\n“A gripping, suspenseful page-turner that reads like fiction and reinforces—with sometimes shocking, tragic clarity—the necessity of a fair justice system for all. This is an important, compelling, powerful book.” —Judge Ken Starr, President of Baylor University\n“Laurence Leamer has produced a masterful legal thriller that will stun readers at every page. . . a riveting story of intrigue, corrupt politics, and the corrosive effects of power if left unchecked. This book is a tour-de-force; it will stand up against the best legal dramas of our time.” —Ken Gormley, bestselling author of The Death of American Virtue: Clinton vs. Starr\n“In this engaging narrative, Laurence Leamer shows how money corrupts both politics and the law. A disturbing warning in this era of increasingly unregulated campaign money, including in judicial elections, The Price of Justice is priceless.” —Adam Winkler, Author of Gunfight and Professor of Law UCLA School of Law\nDave Fawcett(l), Theodore Olson, and Bruce Stanley in front of the United States Supreme Court on March 3, 2009\nDave Fawcett(l), Hugh Caperton and Bruce Stanley in front of the West Virginia Supreme Court\nDon Blankenship and his friend West Virginia Supreme Court Justice Elliottt \"Spike\" Maynard off together in France while Justice Maynard was going to vote on a case that if Blankenship's company lost would cost it $70 million.\nHere Don Blankenship pushes his hand in front of an ABC cameraman when the man asks him for an interview.", "domain": "law"}

In Washington, it is illegal for an adult someone 18 or older to have sex with a minor someone younger than 16 , even if the sex is consensual.

Who holds the privilege in such cases? RCW Parental authorization, or authorization from a person who may consent on behalf of the minor pursuant to RCW 7. This means that while Washington state law allows minors years of age to request and receive treatment without parental consent, it does not grant them complete confidentiality.\nGenerally speaking, the age at which someone can legally consent to sex in Washington is 16, so having sex with anyone younger than 16 is usually illegal for an adult who is not close in age to a young person. There are even some situations where another minor could face criminal charges for having sex with someone under The law has laid out a few circumstances where even a person who is 16 or 17 is deemed unable to legally consent to sex. This usually has more to do with the characteristics of the other person than the or year-old.\nThe Washington Age of Consent is 16 years old. In the United States, the age of consent is the minimum age at which an individual is considered legally old enough to consent to participation in sexual activity. Individuals aged 15 or younger in Washington are not legally able to consent to sexual activity, and such activity may result in prosecution for statutory rape.

To a nation already reeling from an unprecedented health pandemic and economic freefall, it is the starkest reminder of the insidious role that racism plays in our society, and the struggle for justice that remains before us.\nThe International Union of Bricklayers & Allied Craftworkers (BAC) was founded more than 150 years ago on the proposition that workers have a right to collectively demand justice in their workplace and in their community. Our BAC Constitution reflects our mission “to promote, foster and develop the physical, economic and social welfare of [our] members and all other workers, and their families.”\nThe quest for justice for the family of George Floyd is a labor issue because it is a community issue. Our Union not only builds the schools, hospitals, churches and the other vital structures that comprise our communities, we help build the lives of the workers that make those communities possible. Accordingly, we cannot stand by silently while an entire segment of our community, people of color, continue to be subject to persistent racism and lives are taken so callously.\nWe condemn the actions of those involved in the killing of George Floyd. We recognize that they do not represent the vast majority of police officers who faithfully serve their communities every day, just as those protestors engaging in violence do not represent the vast majority of people who are peacefully but passionately demanding justice.\nWe must now guard against those politicians that would seek to leverage this moment for their personal and political advantage. Specifically, those who fan the flames of racial and class division to distract from their failure to deliver on the promise of the economic well-being and health of our nation.\nThis current moment demands more of us than thoughts and prayers. As Dr. King proclaimed from the Birmingham Jail more than 50 years ago, “True peace is not merely the absence of tension, it is the presence of justice.” That struggle for justice must now be our focus as a labor movement, and as a country.", "domain": "law"}

The first one, issued September 22, 1862, declared the freedom of all slaves in any state of the Confederate States of America that did not return to Union control by January 1, 1863. The second order, issued January 1, 1863, named the specific states where it applied.\nThe Emancipation Proclamation was widely attacked at the time as freeing only the slaves over which the Union had no power. In practice, it committed the Union to ending slavery, which was a controversial decision even in the North. Lincoln issued the Executive Order by his authority as \"Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy\" under Article II, section 2 of the United States Constitution.\nThe proclamation did not free any slaves of the border states (Kentucky, Missouri, Maryland, Delaware, and West Virginia), or any southern state (or part of a state) already under Union control. It first directly affected only those slaves who had already escaped to the Union side. Hearing of the Proclamation, more slaves quickly escaped to Union lines as the Army units moved South. As the Union armies conquered the Confederacy, thousands of slaves were freed each day until nearly all (approximately 4 million, according to the 1860 census) were freed by July 1865.\nAfter the war, abolitionists were concerned that since the proclamation was a war measure, it had not permanently ended slavery. Several former slave states passed legislation prohibiting slavery; however, some slavery continued to be legal, and to exist, until the institution was ended by the sufficient states' ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment on December 18, 1865.\nThe Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation (September 22, 1862)\nBy the President of the United States of America\nI, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States of America, and Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy thereof, do hereby proclaim and declare that hereafter, as heretofore, the war will be prosecuted for the object of practically restoring the constitutional relation between the United States, and each of the states, and the people thereof, in which states that relation is, or may be suspended or disturbed.\nThat it is my purpose, upon the next meeting of Congress to again recommend the adoption of a practical measure tendering pecuniary aid to the free acceptance or rejection of all slave-states, so called, the people whereof may not then be in rebellion against the United States, and which states [and] may then have voluntarily adopted, or thereafter may voluntarily adopt, immediate, or gradual abolishment of slavery within their respective limits; and that the effort to colonize persons of African descent [with the consent] upon this continent, or elsewhere, [with the previously obtained consent of the governments existing there elsewhere,] will be continued.\nThat on the first day of January in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, all persons held as slaves within any state, or designated part of a state, the people whereof thenceforward, and forever free; and the executive government of the United States [including the military and naval authority thereof] will, during the continuance in office of the present incumbents, recognize [and maintain the freedom of] such persons, as being free, and will do no act or acts to repress such persons, or any of them, in any efforts they may make for their actual freedom.\nThat the executive will, on the first day of January aforesaid, by proclamation, designate the States, and parts of states, if any, in which the people thereof respectively, shall then be in rebellion against the United States; and the fact that any state, or the people thereof shall, on that day be, in good faith represented in the Congress of the United States, by members chosen thereto, at elections wherein a majority of the qualified voters of such state shall have participated, shall, in the absence of strong countervailing testimony, be deemed conclusive evidence that such state, and the people thereof, are not then in rebellion against the United States.\nThat attention is hereby called to an Act of Congress entitled \"An Act to make an additional Article of War\" Approved March 13, 1862, and which act is in the words and figure following:\n- \"Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled. that hereafter the following shall be promulgated as an additional article of war for the government of the Army of the United States, and shall be obeyed and observed as such:\"\n- \"Article-. All officers or persons in the military or naval services of the United States are prohibited from employing any of the forces under their respective commands for the purpose of returning fugitive from service or labor, who may have escaped from any persons to whom such service or labor is claimed to be due and any officer who shall be found guilty by a court martial of violating this article shall be dismissed from the service.\"\n- \"SEC.2. And be it further enacted, that this act shall take effect from and after its passage.\"\nAlso to the ninth and tenth sections of an act entitled \"An Act to suppress Insurrection, to punish Treason and Rebellion, to seize and confiscate property of rebels, and for other purposes,\" approved July 17, 1862, and which sections are:\n- \"SEC. 9. And be it further enacted, that all slaves of persons who shall hereafter be engaged in rebellion against the government of the United States, or who shall in any way give aid or comfort thereto, escaping from such persons and taking refuge within the lines of the army; and all slaves captured from such persons or deserted by them and coming under the control of the government of the United States; and all slaves of such persons found [or] being within any place occupied by rebel forces and afterwards occupied by the forces of the United States, shall be deemed captives of war, and shall be forever free of their servitude, and not again held as slaves.\"\n- \"SEC. 10. And be it further enacted, That no slave escaping into any State, Territory, or the District of Columbia, from any other State, shall be delivered up, or in any way impeded or hindered of his liberty, except for crime, or some offence against the laws, unless the person claiming said fugitive shall first make oath that the person to whom the labor or service of such fugitive is alleged to be due is his lawful owner, and has not borne arms against the United States in the present rebellion, nor in any way given aid and comfort thereto; and no person engaged in the military or naval service of the United States shall, under any pretence whatever, assume to decide on the validity of the claim of any person to the service or labor of any other person, or surrender up any such person to the claimant, on pain of being dismissed from the service.\"\nAnd I do hereby enjoin upon and order all persons engaged in the military and naval service of the United States to observe, obey, and enforce, within their respective spheres of service, the act and sections above recited.\nAnd the executive will [in due time] [at the next session of congress] recommend that all citizens of the United States who shall have remained loyal thereto throughout the rebellion, shall (upon the restoration of the constitutional relation between the United States, and their respective states, and people, if that relation shall have been suspended or disturbed) be compensated for all losses by acts of the United States, including the loss of slaves.\n- In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

Seward\nSecretary of State\nThe Final Emancipation Proclamation (January 1, 1863)\nWhereas on the 22nd day of September, A.D. 1862, a proclamation was issued by the President of the United States, containing, among other things, the following, to wit:\n\"That on the 1st day of January, A.D. 1863, all persons held as slaves within any State or designated part of a State the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free; and the executive government of the United States, including the military and naval authority thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of such persons and will do no act or acts to repress such persons, or any of them, in any efforts they may make for their actual freedom.\n\"That the executive will on the 1st day of January aforesaid, by proclamation, designate the States and parts of States, if any, in which the people thereof, respectively, shall then be in rebellion against the United States; and the fact that any State or the people thereof shall on that day be in good faith represented in the Congress of the United States by members chosen thereto at elections wherein a majority of the qualified voters of such States shall have participated shall, in the absence of strong countervailing testimony, be deemed conclusive evidence that such State and the people thereof are not then in rebellion against the United States.\"\nNow, therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, by virtue of the power in me vested as Commander-In-Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States in time of actual armed rebellion against the authority and government of the United States, and as a fit and necessary war measure for suppressing said rebellion, do, on this 1st day of January, A.D. 1863, and in accordance with my purpose so to do, publicly proclaimed for the full period of one hundred days from the first day above mentioned, order and designate as the States and parts of States wherein the people thereof, respectively, are this day in rebellion against the United States the following, to wit:\nArkansas, Texas, Louisiana (except the parishes of St. Bernard, Plaquemines, Jefferson, St. John, St. Charles, St. James, Ascension, Assumption, Terrebone, Lafourche, St. Mary, St. Martin, and Orleans, including the city of New Orleans), Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia (except the forty-eight counties designated as West Virginia, and also the counties of Berkeley, Accomac, Northhampton, Elizabeth City, York, Princess Anne, and Norfolk, including the cities of Norfolk and Portsmouth), and which excepted parts are for the present left precisely as if this proclamation were not issued.\nAnd by virtue of the power and for the purpose aforesaid, I do order and declare that all persons held as slaves within said designated States and parts of States are, and henceforward shall be, free; and that the Executive Government of the United States, including the military and naval authorities thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of said persons.\nAnd I hereby enjoin upon the people so declared to be free to abstain from all violence, unless in necessary self-defence; and I recommend to them that, in all case when allowed, they labor faithfully for reasonable wages.\nAnd I further declare and make known that such persons of suitable condition will be received into the armed service of the United States to garrison forts, positions, stations, and other places, and to man vessels of all sorts in said service.\nAnd upon this act, sincerely believed to be an act of justice, warranted by the Constitution upon military necessity, I invoke the considerate judgment of mankind and the gracious favor of Almighty God.\nIn witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.\nDone at the City of Washington, this first day of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the eighty-seventh.\nBy the President: ABRAHAM LINCOLN\nWILLIAM H.

It includes elements of service, work, and sales contract law. In its essence, the hotel accommodation contract is a lease agreement.\nHotel accommodation contracts, like all other contracts under civil law, must be adhered to by both contracting parties.\n1.) These terms and conditions apply to contracts for the rental of hotel rooms for accommodation, as well as all other services and deliveries provided by the hotel for the customer.\n2.) The subletting or further rental of the provided rooms and their use for purposes other than accommodation require the prior written consent of the hotel.\n3.) Customer's terms and conditions apply only if agreed upon in writing beforehand.\nII. Conclusion of Contract, Parties, Liability; Limitation Period\n1.) The contract is concluded when the hotel accepts the customer's offer. The hotel may choose to confirm the room booking in writing.\n2.) The limitation period for all customer claims is 6 months from the termination of the contract. This limitation of liability and short limitation period also apply to the hotel's violation of obligations in contract initiation, positive contract violation, and tortious acts.\nIII. Services, Prices, Payment, Offset\n1.) The hotel is obligated to provide the rooms booked by the customer and to render the agreed services.\n2.) The customer is obligated to pay the prices for room rental and the other services and charges agreed upon with the hotel.\nThis also applies to services and expenses incurred by the hotel on behalf of the customer to third parties.\n3.) There is no entitlement to a hotel parking space when booking a room. Parking spaces must be reserved and paid for in advance.\n4.) The agreed prices include the respective statutory value-added tax. If the period between contract conclusion and contract fulfillment exceeds 4 months, and the hotel's generally charged price for such services increases, the hotel can reasonably raise the contractually agreed price, but not exceeding 10%.\n5.) Prices may also be changed by the hotel if the customer subsequently wishes changes to the number of booked rooms, hotel services, or guest stays, and the hotel agrees to the changes.\n6.) Invoices from the hotel without a due date are payable within 10 days of receipt without deduction. The hotel is entitled to declare accrued claims due at any time and demand immediate payment. In case of late payment, the hotel is entitled to charge interest at a rate of 4% above the respective discount rate of the Deutsche Bundesbank. The customer retains the right to prove a lower damage, and the hotel retains the right to prove a higher damage.\n7.) The hotel is entitled to request a reasonable advance payment or security deposit at any time. The amount of the advance payment and the payment dates can be agreed upon in writing in the contract.\n8.) The customer can only offset an undisputed or legally established claim against a hotel claim, reduce it, or declare a right of retention.\n9.) Hotel prices may change between the booking date and the duration of the stay. The valid price is the respective price including VAT on the booking day.\nIV. Customer Cancellation\n1.) Customer cancellation of the contract with the hotel requires the written consent of the hotel. If this is not given, the agreed price from the contract must be paid even if the customer does not avail themselves of contractual services.\n2.) If a cancellation date is agreed upon in writing between the hotel and the customer, the customer can cancel the contract until that date without triggering payment or damages claims by the hotel. The customer's right to cancel lapses if they do not exercise the right in writing to the hotel by the agreed-upon date.\n3.) In the case of rooms not utilized by the customer, the hotel must credit the income from other rental of the rooms as well as the saved expenses.\n4.) The hotel is free to lump-sum the damage it incurs and is to be reimbursed by the customer. The customer is then obliged to pay 80% of the contractually agreed price for overnight stay with or without breakfast, 70% for half-board, and 60% for full-board arrangements. The customer is free to prove that the damage incurred by the hotel is lower than the requested lump sum.\nUp to 6 weeks before the event:\n25% of the agreed-upon charges are due\nUp to 14 days before the event:\n50% of the agreed-upon charges are due\nUp to 7 days before the event:\n75% of the agreed-upon charges are due\nIf canceled within less than 7 days before the event, we must invoice the full amount of the agreed services.\n3-7 days before arrival 50%,\n1-2 days before arrival 80%.\nIf not arriving, the customer will be invoiced 100% of the total stay costs minus 10% for saved expenses.\"\nV. Hotel Cancellation\n1.) The hotel is entitled to withdraw from the contract until the cancellation date agreed upon in IV.2., if other customer inquiries for the contractually booked rooms are present, and the customer does not waive the right to cancel upon inquiry by the hotel. If a agreed advance payment is not made even after an appropriate grace period set by the hotel with threat of rejection has elapsed, the hotel is also entitled to cancel the contract.\n2.) Furthermore, the hotel is entitled to withdraw from the contract for objectively justified reasons, e.g., in the case of:\nforce majeure or other circumstances not attributable to the hotel that make the fulfillment of the contract impossible;\n- rooms booked under misleading or false information on essential facts, e.g., by the customer or purpose, are booked;\n- the hotel has reason to believe that the use of hotel services may jeopardize the smooth operation of the business, the safety, or the reputation of the hotel in the public eye, without this being attributable to the hotel's sphere of control or organization;\n- a violation of I.2. above exists.\n3.) The hotel must inform the customer immediately of the exercise of the right of cancellation.\n4.) A hotel cancellation does not give the customer a claim for damages, except in the case of intentional or grossly negligent behavior by the hotel.\nVI. Room Provision, Handover, and Return\n1.) The customer does not acquire a right to the provision of specific rooms. If such rooms have been promised to the customer but are not available, the hotel is obliged to provide equivalent replacement.\n2.) Booked rooms are available to the customer from 2:00 PM on the agreed-upon arrival day. The customer has no claim to earlier availability.\n3.) On the agreed departure day, the rooms must be vacated and made available to the hotel by 11:00 AM at the latest. After that, the hotel can charge 50% of the room price for additional use of the room until 6:00 PM and the full room price after 6:00 PM. In addition, the customer is obliged to compensate the hotel for any further damage.\nVII. Hotel Liability\n1.) The hotel is liable for the care of an ordinary merchant but limited to defects or disturbances that are attributable to intent or gross negligence of the hotel beyond the typical scope of performance. If disturbances or defects occur in the hotel's services, the hotel will endeavor to remedy them promptly upon the customer's immediate complaint. The customer is obliged to contribute what is reasonable to remedy the disturbance and to minimize possible damage.\n2.) The hotel is liable to the guest for items brought in according to statutory provisions, i.e., up to one hundred times the room price, but no more than EUR 3,068.00, as well as for money and valuables up to EUR 768.00. Money and valuables up to a maximum value of EUR 5,113.00 can be stored in the hotel safe. The hotel recommends taking advantage of this option.\n3.) If the customer is provided with a parking space in the hotel garage or on a hotel parking lot, even for a fee, no custody agreement is concluded. The hotel is not liable for loss or damage to motor vehicles and their contents parked or maneuvered on the hotel property, except for intent or gross negligence. This also applies to hotel employees.\n4.) Wake-up calls are carried out by the hotel with the utmost care. Claims for damages due to faulty execution are excluded.\n5.) Messages, mail, and parcels for guests are handled with care. The hotel takes care of delivery, storage, and, upon request, forwarding of the same for a fee. The hotel is not liable for delays, loss, or damage.\nVIII. Final Provisions\n1.) Changes or additions to the contract, acceptance of the offer, or these terms and conditions for hotel accommodation must be made in writing. Unilateral changes or additions by the customer are ineffective.\n2.) The place of performance and payment is the hotel's registered office.\n3.) The exclusive place of jurisdiction - also for check and bill disputes - is the hotel's registered office in commercial transactions. If a contracting party fulfills the requirements of § 38 paragraph 1 ZPO and has no general place of jurisdiction in Germany, the hotel's registered office is considered the place of jurisdiction.\n4.) German law applies.\n5.) Should individual provisions of these General Terms and Conditions for Hotel Accommodation be or become invalid or void, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. In all other respects, the statutory provisions apply.\n6.) The hotel is not obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.\n7.) Translations of the website are automated. Errors cannot be ruled out. The basis of the contract is the original German text.\n17454 Ostseebad Zinnowitz\nTelephone: +49 (0) 38377 396-0", "domain": "law"}

A party’s injuries usually stem from the negligent action or inaction of the other party. A victim who is hurt through no fault of their own can recover from the negligent party. A personal injury attorney will fight to hold the negligent party accountable so you can get the compensation you deserve.\nWhatever the circumstances are surrounding your personal injury, we have skilled attorneys to handle your case. For example, if you were injured in a car accident our dedicated car accident attorneys will work diligently to prove all the elements necessary to have a successful negligence case.\nElements of Negligence\nThere are multiple elements that must be proven in a negligence case in order to have a successful claim in court. Each of the elements must be proven. The elements are:\n- Duty: The defendant owed a legal duty of care to the plaintiff.\n- Breach of Duty: The defendant breached that legal duty by acting or failing to act.\n- Cause in Fact: But for the defendant’s failure to meet their duty of care, the plaintiff would not have been injured.\n- Proximate Cause: The defendant’s actions or inactions were the actual cause of the plaintiff’s injury.\n- Damages: The plaintiff was harmed, actually injured and suffered some loss because of the defendant’s breach.\nIn Depth Look at Element #1- Duty\nElement number one is duty of care. The first step in assessing a negligence claim, is to determine whether or not the defendant owed the plaintiff a legal duty of care. There are two types of duties that a defendant may owe a plaintiff. The first is called general duty of care. This is simply a duty to act as a reasonable person, under similar circumstances, would act. In a negligence case, you look at the defendant’s actions and determine if a reasonable person would have acted the same way as the defendant had the reasonable person been in the same situation as the defendant. If it is concluded that the defendant’s behavior and actions match that of a reasonable person’s behavior and actions, then the defendant met his duty of care. If the defendant’s actions are lower than those of a reasonable person then the defendant breached his duty of care.\nThe second duty is a special duty that is based on case law and statutes. This special duty may exist in addition to the general duty of care or in place of the general duty of care standard. To determine if a special duty exists you must examine the relationship between the plaintiff and defendant. You then evaluate whether or not, based on their relationship, the plaintiff was owed a special duty of care from the defendant. A common example is the doctor-patient relationship. A doctor owes a special duty of care to act with reasonable care because of his relationship with the patient.\nGet Compensation for Your Injury\nProving a negligence lawsuit can be complicated. All of the elements of a negligence claim must be proven and failing to prove an element means you do not have a valid negligence claim. Gunther Law Office has vast experiences handling negligence lawsuits. Let a qualified, dedicated Minneapolis personal injury attorney maximize your recovery. We will analyze the details and facts of your injury claim to generate a customized strategy specific to your case.

That is why the law takes special steps to protect children from the consequences of their actions and often seeks to ameliorate the harm cause when children make wrong choices by giving them a second chance. The law prohibits people under eighteen from voting, serving in the military and on juries, but in some states, they can be executed for crimes they committed before they reach adulthood. The United States Supreme Court prohibits execution for crimes committed at the age of fifteen or younger. Nineteen states have laws permitting the execution of persons who committed crimes at sixteen or seventeen. Since 1973, 226 juvenile death sentences have been imposed. Twenty-two juvenile offenders have been executed and 82 remain on death row.\n- On January 27, 2004, the U.S. Supreme Court decided to review whether executing sixteen and seventeen year-olds violates the Constitution's ban on 'cruel and unusual punishment.' The review comes after the Missouri Supreme Court overturned the death sentence of 17 year-old Christopher Simmons. Roper v. Simmons will be reviewed by the justices this fall, four of whom have called the juvenile death penalty 'inconsistent with evolving standards of decency in a civilized society.'\nWhile adolescents can and should be held accountable for their actions, new scientific information demonstrates that they can not fairly be held accountable to the same extent as adults. Studies by the Harvard Medical School, the National Institute of Mental Health and the UCLA's Department of Neuroscience finds that the frontal and pre-frontal lobes of the brain, which regulate impulse control and judgment, are not fully developed in adolescents. Development is not completed until somewhere between 18 and 22 years of age. These findings confirm that adolescents generally have a greater tendency towards impulsivity, making unsound judgments or reasoning, and are less aware of the consequences of their actions.\nBecause of their immaturity, adolescent children are also more likely to be coerced by adults and are sometimes the pawns for more sophisticated criminals. They are also more likely to be taken advantage of during the investigation of a criminal case. Juveniles are often intimidated by adults and authority figures, and are therefore more likely to be the victims of coerced confessions, which are often false. Moreover juveniles are less likely to invoke their Miranda Rights, including their right to legal representation. Most importantly, the goals of the death penalty do not apply to juveniles. Retribution aims to give the harshest punishment to the worst offender. Juveniles are the most likely to be capable of rehabilitation. Given their emotional immaturity and lessened culpability, they are not among the \"\"worst of the worst.\"\"\nPublic opinion in the United States increasingly opposes the execution of juvenile offenders. According to a 2003 Harris Poll, 69 percent of the people polled opposed the death penalty for juveniles; only 22 percent supported the execution of juvenile offenders, while 5 percent offered no opinion. Meanwhile, the juvenile death penalty disproportionately affects children of color, as it is subject to the same racial disparities as have been discovered throughout the use of capital punishment.\nInternationally, the execution of juveniles is largely considered inhumane, anachronistic, and in direct conflict with fundamental principles of justice. The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights bans the execution of juvenile offenders. Although the United States has signed the ICCPR and therefore agreed to be bound by its standards, the U.S. has reserved the right to execute juvenile offenders as long as our Constitution is interpreted to permit the practice. Of the 123 countries that currently use the death penalty, only the United States and Iran impose death sentences on juveniles. In the fall of 2003, however, Iran's judiciary began drafting a bill that will raise the minimum age for death sentences from fifteen to eighteen. The bill will also exclude those under eighteen from receiving life-terms or lashing as punishment. Ironically, many of the countries that the United States government regularly criticizes for human rights abuses have abolished the practice of executing juveniles. For example, between 1994 and 2000, Yemen, Zimbabwe, China and parts of Pakistan amended their laws to prohibit the execution of juvenile offenders. In continuing what is universally viewed as a barbaric and uncivilized practice, the United States has, over the past decade, executed more juvenile offenders than every other nation in the world combined.\nSee the American Bar Association's web site on Juvenile Death Penalty\nRead information and statistics about the juvenile death penalty here\nSeptember 2001 · Vol. 26, No. 3, pp. 9-10\nJuveniles and the death penalty\nDiane H. Schetky MD\nChild and Adolescent CommitteeThe U.S. Supreme court in Thompson v. Oklahoma (1988) decided that the Eighth Amendment prohibited the execution of persons younger than 16 at the time of their crimes. However, in the U.S. we continue to execute 16 and 17 year olds. Of the thirty eight death penalty states, twenty four permit the death penalty for individuals who committed crimes prior to the age of 18. The minimum age at the time of the crime is 16 in 12 states, 17 in 4, and many states do not specify an age. Fourteen states and the Federal system hold a minimum age at time of crime of 18 .\nCurrently, there are about 70 death row inmates who were sentenced as juveniles and 37 % of them are in Texas. Seventeen have been executed for crimes committed as juveniles since the reinstatement of the death penalty in 1976 and three of these executions occurred earlier this year. Only four other nations, Iran, Nigeria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Yemen have executed juveniles in the past decade and there is almost global consensus on the need to eliminate the death penalty for crimes committed as juveniles. The U.S. has been the only country to refuse to sign the UN Convention of the Right of the Child, an international treaty which bars the execution of persons committing crimes before age 18.\nOpposition to the death penalty, especially for use with juveniles, is mounting. The death penalty is unlikely to have any deterrent value on juveniles as many young juvenile offenders are impulse ridden, highly stimulus reactive and have difficulty planning ahead. Adolescents tend to live in the present, view themselves as invincible and many are easily swayed by peers in their antisocial behavior with little heed to consequences. Some do not value their lives and may even be suicidal. It is precisely because of their emotional and cognitive immaturity and difficulty with decision making that they are not afforded full adult status under the law. Hence, they are not considered old enough to vote, serve as jurors, sign a contract, purchase alcohol, serve in the military or, in some states, marry.\nMany youths within the juvenile justice system have treatable but undiagnosed psychiatric disorders. The rates of affective disorders, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Attention Deficit Disorder and Learning Disabilities are consistently high in this population. In addition, some have neurological impairment as a result of exposure to drugs or alcohol in utero, early childhood physical abuse or their risk-taking life styles. Because of poverty and minority status, many of these youths have been disproportionately diverted into the juvenile justice system rather than to mental hospitals.\nLegal representation is likely to be inadequate for youths facing the death penalty. The ABA notes that jurisdictions that have the death penalty have been unwilling to provide adequate legal services to these defendants who end up with unqualified or indifferent attorneys. Often these cases are assigned to the lowest bidders who invest little time in these cases and are unlikely to request a forensic evaluation or consider issues unique to adolescent development which might have bearing on issues of culpability. Even well intended attorneys may have difficulty getting the courts to authorize payment for forensic evaluations and investigations. In addition, prosecutors may lack adequate training in avoiding constitutional violations. As noted by the ABA, this situation literally spells death to the defendant.\nYet another argument against the death penalty is the well publicized risk of error, reported to be as high as 68% (Coyle), which has resulted in a moratorium on the death penalty in the state of Illinois.\nNumerous organizations have come out with position statements opposing the use of the death penalty for crimes committed as juveniles including the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, the American Bar Association, the National Mental Health Association and most recently the APA. In addition, the ABA has called for a moratorium on capital punishment until each jurisdiction implements policies and procedures consistent with longstanding ABA policies intended to \"1) ensure that death penalty cases are administered fairly and impartially in accordance with due process and 2) minimize the risk that innocent persons may be executed.\" Opposition is also coming from an unlikely source - some of the families and loved ones of victims have spoken up because they believe that the death penalty only serves to perpetuate the cycle of violence and failed compassion and they realize it will not take away their loss and grief.\nThe philosophy of the juvenile court has always been rehabilitation, yet, this is being eroded in an atmosphere of getting tough on juvenile crime and the increasing practice of waiving juveniles to the adult court. It is hard to justify this trend in an era where serious juvenile crime continues to decline and the goal of rehabilitation is closer than ever before with new and effective innovative treatments and community interventions available to populations at risk. We know that juveniles who are transferred to the adult correctional system have a very high risk of being victimized, are less likely to have their educational needs met and, if released, recidivate more rapidly than those who remain in the juvenile justice system. Our country continues to pour money into new and more prisons and executions rather than into efforts at preventing juvenile crime, providing psychiatric services for at-risk youths, and strengthening the juvenile justice system so that it can effectively respond to dangerous and/or repeat offenders to ensure public safety. AAPL members are urged to consider a position paper in support of banning the death penalty for crimes committed prior to age 18.\nABA: House of Delegates Moratorium on Capital Punishment, 1997.\nCoyle M: 68% Error rate found in death case study.

On 19 May 1666 he entered Gray's Inn, and was called to the bar there in August of the following year.\nAt Easter 1686 Hutchins was made serjeant-at-law by James II, and in May 1689 was chosen king's serjeant to William III, who knighted him the following October. He became Member of Parliament for Barnstaple in the English general election, 1690. In May 1690 he succeeded Sir Anthony Keck as third commissioner of the Great Seal, and acted until the elevation of Sir John Somers as Lord Keeper on 22 March 1693. Hutchins then resumed practice at the bar, and claimed his right to retain his former position of king's serjeant. The judges decided against him, on the ground that the post was merely an office conferred by the crown; but the king settled the question by reappointing him his serjeant on 6 May. He died at his house in Greville Street, Holborn, on 6 July 1705.\nHutchins married, first, Mary, daughter of Sir William Leman, 1st Baronet, who died in 1695; they had at least three children. His second wife was Sarah, daughter of Sir William Leman, 2nd Baronet, and so niece to his first wife, whom he married in 1697. On the marriage in 1697 of his two daughters, Hutchins gave each of them a portion of £20,000. The husband of Anne, the second daughter, was William Peere Williams. The younger daughter, Mary, married Richard Minshall.\nHUTCHINS, SIR GEORGE (d. 1705), king's serjeant, was the son and heir of Edmund Hutchins of Georgeham in Devonshire. Edmund Hickeringill [q. v.] once amused the court of chancery, and won his cause, by saying of Hutchins, who was counsel against him, that they were something akin to each other, not by consanguinity, but by affinity; for he was a clerk, and Hutchins's father was a parish clerk (LUTTRELL, Relation of State Affairs, 1857, iv. 651). On 19 May 1666 he entered at Gray's Inn, by which society he was called to the bar as early as August the following year. At Easter 1686 he was made serjeant-at-law by James II (ib. i. 529), and in May 1689 was chosen king's serjeant to William III, who knighted him in the following October (ib. i. 598). In May 1690 he succeeded Sir Anthony Keck as third commissioner of the great seal, and acted until the elevation of Sir John Somers (afterwards Lord Somers) [q. v.] to the lord-keepership on 22 March 1693. Hutchins then resumed practice at the bar, and claimed his right to retain his former position of king's serjeant. The judges decided against him, on the ground that the post was merely an office conferred by the crown (3 LEVINZ, 351); but the king settled the question by reappointing him his serjeant on 6 May (LUTTERELL, iii. 93). He died at his house in Greville Street, Holborn, on 6 July 1705. His professional gains must have been considerable, for on the marriage in 1697 of his two daughters, afterwards his co-heiresses, he gave each of them a portion of 20,000l. (ib. iv. 289). The husband of Anne, the second daughter, was William Peere Williams, the well-known chancery reporter.\nHUTCHINS, Sir George (1640-1705), of Gray's Inn, and Greville Street, Holborn, London\nPublished in The History of Parliament: the House of Commons 1690-1715, ed.

He was knighted in 1689 by William III soon after becoming King's serjeant. In the 1690 general election he was returned for his native borough of Barnstaple, Lord Carmarthen (Sir Thomas Osborne✝) noting him in several lists of the new Parliament as a supporter of the Court. On 26 and 29 Apr. he was probably the 'Serjeant Hutchinson' [sic] who spoke in favour of imposing the abjuration oath. In the House on 5 May he ventured his opinions on the problems of retaining a balance of authority in both the King and the Queen in the regency bill:\n\"this doubt, whether the Queen is not so amply and fully Queen as in the Act of Settlement, may be of dangerous consequence, and how far the commissions of the peace may be void. This may affect our alliances abroad. The King may see more in Ireland than can be seen here. I humbly propose that this may so pass, as not totally to divest the King of his executive power . . . Possibly there may be many inconveniences for the administration of the government in two persons, and to divert the King of it is not to be thought of. I move that the government may be executed in the name of the King and Queen.\"\nIn May he was appointed third commissioner of the great seal, replacing Sir Anthony Keck*. During the preparations for the next session Hutchins was minuted as one of the Commoners who 'have greatly assisted the King's affairs' and who were to be 'complimented' at a 'general meeting'. His conduct in the ensuing session enabled Carmarthen to class him once more as pro-Court in December. On 28 Nov. 1691 he spoke on behalf of the East India Company, and in doing so may well have offended his fellow MP, Arthur Champneys, who was one of the interloping syndicate who were aiming to break the company's monopoly. He was the target of a minor 'Country' attack on him and his fellow commissioner of the seal, Speaker Trevor, on 29 Dec. for having discouraged Edward Stephens, a Middlesex j.p., from prosecuting small traders for breach of the Lord's Day. He effectively parried this by indicating that Stephens and several associates had gone farther than the law permitted by running 'an informing office in Lincoln's Inn' and fining transgressors when the law only permitted him to confiscate goods and merchandise being sold. On 2 Jan. 1692, on the bill to prevent the escape of prisoners, he put forward an instruction to its committee that bail procedures be simplified, and that local commissioners, rather than judges, be empowered to take affidavits. He opposed the bill for lessening the rate of interest at its second reading on the 8th; and in accordance with his previously expressed support for the East India Company opposed the bill for a new company on the 22nd. In the next session he opposed the triennial bill on 9 Feb. 1693 on the premise that it took 'away the inherent right in the King to preserve himself and his people. That the dissolution of parliaments by Act of Parliament was the last consequence especially at this time when the nation is involved in such a war as it is.' In discussion on a private bill on 6 Mar. touching Lord Pembroke (Thomas Herbert✝) he spoke 'strongly' against the suggestion that certain legal records in relation to a suit could be altered.4\nHutchins' term as a commissioner of the great seal (which had brought him £1,500 p.a.) came to an end in the spring of 1693 when Sir John Somers* was made lord keeper, and he resumed his practice at the bar. He claimed to retain his former position of King's serjeant, but when the judges ruled against him on the grounds that it was an office conferred by the crown, the King reappointed him. A grant which he had made to the crown of £750 was repaid to him at this time. During the 1694–5 session the Treasury secretary Henry Guy* listed him as a 'friend', probably in connexion with the projected attack on Guy in the Commons. At the time of his first wife's death in July 1695 Hutchins was said to be worth £60,000, and on the marriages of his two daughters, one to the lawyer and future MP Williams Peere Williams, he gave each a dowry of £20,000. Having stood down at the October 1695 election, he made no subsequent attempt to re-enter the House. He was reported as 'dangerously ill' in September 1703 but lived on until dying at his house in Greville Street on 6 July 1705. He was buried at St. Andrew's Holborn.5\nRef Volumes: 1690-1715\nAuthors: Eveline Cruickshanks / Andrew A. HanhamNotes\n- Info. from J. R.

One common question is whether a driver from a state that requires only one license plate can get a ticket for having just one plate when visiting a state that requires two. This article aims to provide a comprehensive answer to this question, exploring the intricacies of license plate laws across different states.\nUnderstanding License Plate Laws\nLicense plate laws are determined by each state individually. Some states require vehicles to display two license plates – one at the front and one at the back. Other states only require a single plate, usually displayed at the rear of the vehicle. The reason for these differences often comes down to law enforcement preferences and cost considerations.\nWill You Get a Ticket?\nGenerally, if you’re visiting a state that requires two plates, but your vehicle is registered in a state that requires only one, you should not receive a ticket. Law enforcement officers are typically aware of the varying license plate laws and should recognize out-of-state plates. However, this is not a guarantee, and there may be exceptions.\nExceptions to the Rule\nWhile it’s unlikely, there are instances where you might receive a ticket. For example, if an officer is unaware of the differing laws, or if your vehicle is involved in a violation where the lack of a front plate becomes an issue, such as a red-light camera violation. In such cases, you may need to contest the ticket and provide proof of your vehicle’s registration in a one-plate state.\nWhat to Do If You Receive a Ticket\nIf you do receive a ticket for having only one license plate in a two-plate state, it’s important to contest it. You can do this by providing proof of your vehicle’s registration in a one-plate state. This could be a copy of your vehicle’s registration document or a letter from your state’s Department of Motor Vehicles. If you’re unsure of how to proceed, consider seeking legal advice.\nTo avoid any potential issues, it may be worth researching the license plate laws of the states you plan to visit. If you frequently travel to states requiring two plates, you might consider getting a second plate for your vehicle, even if it’s not required in your home state. This could help avoid any potential misunderstandings or issues with law enforcement.\nIn conclusion, while it’s unlikely you’ll receive a ticket for having only one license plate when visiting a two-plate state, it’s not impossible. Being aware of the laws and prepared to contest any potential tickets can help ensure a smooth and stress-free journey.", "domain": "law"}

This is the procedure that should always be adhered to and all operatives must be trained in asbestos awareness. Immediately another surveying company was called in and confirmed the presence of large amounts of AIB in the demolition rubble.\nThis resulted in a delay on the project and the HSE were informed.\nThe Health and Safety Executive (HSE) investigated and they found that the survey carried out by EAS Asbestos Limited was incorrect and misleading.\nHSE fine EAS Asbestos Limited\nEAS Asbestos Limited pleaded guilty to breaching Section 3 (1) of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. The company was fined £6,700 and ordered to pay costs of £1,000 and a victim surcharge of £170.\nSpeaking after the case, HSE inspector Jacqueline Western said: “This incident could so easily have been avoided by simply carrying out correct control measures and safe working practices.\n“It sends out a stark warning that the HSE will not hesitate to take appropriate enforcement action against those that fall below the required standards.”\nR&D asbestos surveys arranged by Inner City Environmental\nAs part of our services Inner City will arrange for Asbestos Surveys for our clients including R &D Asbestos Surveys. We have a database of surveyors that we use, and who have delivered high quality surveys consistently. As part of our ISO 9001 quality process we carry out audits on all our suppliers to ensure we can be 100% confident that all asbestos will be picked up on a survey, or if areas cannot be accessed this will always be clearly indicated on the survey.\nIf you need management or R&D asbestos surveys please contact us on\nTel: 01322 273517 or visit our website www.innercityenvironmental.co.uk\nFor more information on Asbestos follow the links to our other blog posts\nAsbestos Removal Essex - What is Asbestos - Link\nArtex in your home - Link\nAsbestos Surveys - What you need to know - Link\nAsbestos found in demolition - Link\nThe Asbestos Removal Process - Link\nGrade 2 listed Hotel project in Hampshire - Link", "domain": "law"}

This created a bad user-experience, as consumers, issuers, industry commenters and consumer groups had negative remarks to make about gift card companies. Rates were increased, gift card balances reduced drastically, even though the cards were untouched by their holders, and new fees emerged without any prior notice. This made the Federal Reserve enact rules to regulate the fees on gift cards, and curb the excesses of gift card companies.\nThese rules, which mostly deals with consumer protection from credit card companies, also created rules for gift cards. Have you been wondering what the gift card rules for expiration and service fees are? Or you are seeking all you need to know about gift card rules? Come along, as we will be answering your frequently asked questions on gift card rules, expiration and service fees.\nDo Gift Cards Expire?\nBy law, gift cards cannot expire in less than 5 years from the date of purchase, but there may be non-use fees or fees if the card is expired. The law states that a gift card may not expire five years from the date of activation or the date the card was funded, and should there be an expiry date, the terms and conditions of that expiration must be stated during or before purchase. Simply put, companies are to print the expiry date on the card or card packaging. Hence, this could only mean that If there isn’t a date of expiration on the card, the card may remain valid, as long as the store as long as the store remains.\nWill I be Charged Inactivity Fees on My Card?\nPrior to the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act also known as CARD act that was signed in 2009, gift card companies charged fees to fund cards and subsequently made monthly fees compulsory to decrease the balance of the gift card until the loaded value is exhausted.\nThe CARD laws make gift cards free from immobility, inactivity or service fees unless the card has been untouched for a year. Issuers can only charge fees of inactivity on a gift card if the card is left unused for a year, and service charge or inactivity fee can be issued per calendar month.\nAlso, the non-use fee terms are made clear prior to purchase. If your card has been dormant, it is still advised that you use any remaining value quickly to stop further inactivity fees from being charged. You may only be charged for service fees on some transactions with your card, such as balance check, balance reload, or on withdrawals.\nAre There Exemptions to The CARD Laws?\nYes, these laws do not apply to all kinds of gift cards. They cover retail gift cards and Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover gift cards. However, they do not cover reloadable phone cards, business gift cards, or gift cards bough for business’ sake.\nState Laws on Gift Cards\nSome states have existing laws that restrict fees on gift cards and the dates some of them expire. It is key to note that a lot of these rules are limited to just store-branded gift cards and not those bank gift cards such as American Express and Visa.\nWhile the CARD laws control and regulate gift card companies, it is important to know that gift cards differ. In case fee information is not clearly stated on your card, you should make more enquires aforehand, as this could prevent you from unwanted fees later on.", "domain": "law"}

When this happens, most people will turn to their families and spouses for help, but sometimes these loved ones aren’t able to handle these changes. That can leave seniors looking for in home options for care, but inviting a stranger into your home can be problematic. Now Massachusetts lawmakers are considering a home care worker registry to make hiring in home help safer, but could this solution actually invade worker privacy?\nWill a Home Care Worker Registry Invade Worker Privacy?\nIn the 2018 fiscal budget presented to Governor Charlie Baker, language that would set up a home care worker registry was included in the bill. And though the bill passed the Legislature, the Governor vetoed it due to privacy concerns. That was because the registry that would have been set up would have included workers’ name, home and mailing addresses, gender, job title, and training certifications. This could be a problem for many home care workers all across the state.\nHome health workers who have been the victims of domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking could have their private information exposed to the public. This could lead to their abusers figuring out where they live, and could result in dangerous domestic incidents.\nLaw makers in the House, Senate and Governor’s office are searching for a solution to this privacy concern. They believe a registry will allow seniors in the state to vet the home care aides they are looking to hire. This could improve safety for these seniors and their families while encouraging aides to pursue training that will improve their standing on the registry.\nFor now, the legislation is at an impasse while lawmakers work out a solution, but can they reach an agreement that both improves elder safety and protects workers’ rights? Knowing firsthand how important home care can be for elder rights, the Law Office of Brandon L. Campbell will continue to monitor this bill and others that could affect the rights of Massachusetts seniors.", "domain": "law"}

Essential key words are introduced and regularly repeated to assist with pronunciation and meaning. Level two is for the developing reader.\nWilliam Murray, 1st Earl of Mansfield, PC, SL (2 March 1705 – 20 March 1793) was a British barrister, politician and judge noted for his reform of English law. Born to Scottish nobility, he was educated in Perth, Scotland, before moving to London at the age of 13 to take up a place at Westminster School. He was accepted into Christ Church, Oxford, in May 1723, and graduated four years later. Returning to London from Oxford, he was called to the Bar by Lincoln's Inn on 23 November 1730, and quickly gained a reputation as an excellent barrister.\nHe became involved in politics in 1742, beginning with his election as a Member of Parliament for Boroughbridge, now in North Yorkshire, and appointment as Solicitor General. In the absence of a strong Attorney General, he became the main spokesman for the government in the House of Commons, and was noted for his \"great powers of eloquence\" and described as \"beyond comparison the best speaker\" in the House of Commons. With the promotion of Sir Dudley Ryder to Lord Chief Justice in 1754, he became Attorney General, and when Ryder unexpectedly died several months later, he took his place as Chief Justice.\nAs the most powerful British jurist of the century, Mansfield's decisions reflected the Age of Enlightenment and moved the country onto the path to abolishing slavery. He advanced commercial law in ways that helped establish the nation as world leader in industry, finance and trade. He modernised both English law and the English courts system; he rationalized the system for submitting motions and reformed the way judgments were delivered to reduce expense for the parties. For his work in Carter v Boehm and Pillans v Van Mierop, he has been called the founder of English commercial law. He is perhaps now best known for his judgment in Somersett's Case (1772), where he held that slavery had no basis in common law and had never been established by positive law (legislation) in England, and therefore was not binding in law; this judgement did not, however, outlaw the slave trade. However, historians note that Mansfield's ruling in the Somersett case only made it illegal to transport a slave out of England against his will, and did not comment on the institution of slavery itself.\nLet's keep in touch!\nSubscribe to our newsletter and receive exclusive offers on products you love!", "domain": "law"}

In re Fedex Corporate Services (In re Fedex), No. 2022-156, slip op. at 9 (Fed. Cir. Oct. 19, 2022). The decision is the next in an increasingly long line of mandamus decisions in which the Federal Circuit has reversed or remanded decisions from Texas district courts on this issue, and suggests that the Federal Circuit will continue to carefully scrutinize these decisions on transfer motions going forward.\nChange of Venue and 28 U.S.C. §1404(a)\n28 U.S.C. §1404(a) provides that, “[f]or the convenience of parties and witnesses, in the interest of justice, a district court may transfer any civil action to any other district or division where it might have been brought.” When considering a motion to transfer venue under this section, courts address two main questions. First, a court must determine whether the action could have been brought in the transferee forum. Second, if so, the court then weighs a number of private and public “convenience” factors to determine whether the transferee forum is “clearly more convenient.” The private factors include: “(1) the relative ease of access to sources of proof; (2) the availability of compulsory process to secure the attendance of witnesses; (3) the cost of attendance for willing witnesses; and (4) all other practical problems that make trial of a case easy, expeditious and inexpensive.” In re Volkswagen AG, 371 F.3d 201, 203 (5th Cir. 2004). The public factors include: “(1) the administrative difficulties flowing from court congestion; (2) the local interest in having localized interests decided at home; (3) the familiarity of the forum with the law that will govern the case; and (4) the avoidance of unnecessary problems of conflict of laws or the application of foreign law.” Id. If, after analyzing the factors, the court determines that the transferee forum is “clearly more convenient,” the case should be transferred.", "domain": "law"}

Their average hourly rate in the U.S. Can go anywhere between $280-$300 and even if there are some that charge for even less, they are still out of reach for people in low-income areas.\nThat being said, you will need legal services if you are facing a case. For criminal cases, in the event that you cannot find a lawyer or cannot afford one, then the court will be able to provide one for you.\nHowever, this is not the case for civil cases and other cases other than the ones that involve criminal law. You are going to need legal representation and you can only do that if you find a lawyer.\nThat being said, if you are incapable of paying for one, what can you do?\nFor people who are unable to afford their own attorney, the first thing that you should look into would be to get legal aid.\nThe term ‘legal aid’ is actually an umbrella term that encompasses any legal services that are granted to people who are unable to afford them. Such services vary depending on a person’s location, but the main idea is that there is always some sort of service no matter what country you are in.\nFor instance, some law schools would allow their junior law associates (or graduating law students) to provide legal services pro bono (which is a Latin term meaning “for the public good).\nLawyers who provide pro bono services give it for free and is generally done because they can get some experience handling cases on their own. This is a good first step for people in low-income countries that couldn’t afford their own lawyer.\nThere are also some nonprofit organizations that provide free or heavily discounted legal services as well. You just have to search over the internet to find one that is located in an area near you.\nDifferent Legal Aid Models\nIn the aspect of legal aid, there are different models out there depending on your country. Here are some common ones:\n- Legal Clinics- Such institutions mainly handle civil cases only (criminal cases are handled by the court and they will give you an attorney if you cannot afford one). Just take note that these institutions do not play games. They will ask you plenty of questions and may even give you some tests to ensure that you are not taking advantage of free legal aid (especially if you are capable of getting your attorney in the first place).\n- Law Firms- There are some law firms that exist solely to provide free legal services to people who cannot afford them. They are usually funded by government grants, private donations, or the LSC.\n- Pro Bono Attorneys- As mentioned earlier, there are some people that would want to gain experience, thus providing low-income earners access to free legal services. You can go to a law school or a law firm to get such.", "domain": "law"}

The first of eight new cameras went online Friday at the Sam Houston Tollway's Fondren/Hillcroft exit and entrance ramps. Cameras will capture images of those vehicles which travel through the unattended ramp lanes during overnight hours, and the Toll Road Authority will begin issuing violation invoices to vehicle owners as early as the end of the month.\nSeveral years ago, the Toll Road Authority stopped staffing certain low-traffic ramp collector booths, for both reasons of collectors' safety and due to the low volume of transactions during overnight hours. The gates were raised at unattended lanes to allow passage to emergency vehicles. For cash-payers, an \"honor system\" approach was taken. These ramps were never free, and cash-payers were always expected to use the Automatic Coin Machines to pay their tolls. Some patrons took advantage of the raised gates, while EZ TAG customers were charged. \"We realize this situation is one of our system's limitations,\" said Toll Road Authority Director Gary Stobb. \"As a result of public input, we are installing the cameras and violation equipment.

But how does THCa actually work, and what happens when it's converted to THC? In this article, we'll explore the science behind THCa and its conversion to THC, as well as the legal status of high-THCa products.\nThe Science Behind THCa\nTHCa, or tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, is the raw, acidic form of THC that is found in living cannabis plants. THCa is not psychoactive on its own, and must be converted to THC through a process called decarboxylation. Decarboxylation occurs naturally over time as the cannabis plant dries and ages, but can also be expedited through methods such as heating or burning the plant material.\nWhen THCa is decarboxylated, the molecule loses its carboxylic acid group, resulting in the formation of THC, or delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol. THC is the psychoactive compound that produces the well-known \"high\" associated with cannabis use. This process can occur through smoking, vaping, or baking cannabis products.\nIt's worth noting that THC is not the only compound produced during decarboxylation. Other cannabinoids, such as CBD and CBN, are also created as THCa is converted to THC. These compounds can have their own unique effects and benefits, and their presence can modify the overall experience of consuming cannabis.\nThe Legality of THCa\nIn addition to its potential health benefits, THCa has gained popularity in the cannabis industry due to its legal status in many states and territories. The 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp, which is defined as \"the plant Cannabis sativa L. and any part of that plant, including the seeds thereof and all derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and salts of isomers, whether growing or not, with a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of not more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis1.\"\nTHCa is currently at the federal level treated the same as other cannabinoids that are not delta-9-THC. The underlying controlling law (referring to the 2018 Farm Bill) is still applicable and includes any and all byproducts of industrial hemp, like THCa, in the definition of industrial hemp. This means it takes THCa as a cannabinoid out of Schedule I.\nThe production of THCa Flower is a rigorous and systematic process. Initially, the hemp plant must pass a pre-harvest analytical test that verifies its concentrations of both delta-9-THC and THCa. The \"total THC\" content of the plant, calculated from this test, must not exceed 0.3% for the plant to be harvested. Following this, the harvested hemp is dried, cured, and trimmed under highly controlled conditions. The end product is a batch of cannabis flowers that align with the statutory definition of \"hemp\" under both federal law and the laws of the relevant state. Total THC calculations are only required by law for pre-harvest testing, any subsequent tests performed determine hemp solely by the delta-9-THC levels.\nThis means that THCa hemp products, which contain less than 0.3% delta-9-THC, are legal in many areas. However, it's important to note that laws surrounding cannabis can vary widely by state, and consumers should always research the regulations in their specific area before purchasing or consuming cannabis products.\nDespite its legal status under federal law and the laws of many states, THCa is often misunderstood and controversial. The challenges predominantly stem from a lack of understanding about the product and its regulation, potentially leading to incorrect application of the law by government authorities. Additionally, specific testing methodologies used by law enforcement can chemically convert THCa in the sample to delta-9-THC. This creates a scenario where a product legally classified as hemp could be considered illegal marijuana under the law.\nTHCa is an important component of the cannabis plant, and its conversion to THC is a crucial part of the process of cannabis consumption. Understanding the science behind THCa and decarboxylation can help cannabis enthusiasts make informed choices about how they consume their products, and can lead to a safer, more enjoyable and effective experience. And with the changing legal landscape surrounding cannabis, THCa may continue to play a prominent role in the cannabis industry for years to come, but consumers should always check their local laws and use caution, treating THCa products as if they were marijuana to avoid any potential legal issues.\nPlease note that the content of this article is intended for informational purposes only. It does not constitute legal advice and should not be used as such. While we strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information, laws and regulations surrounding cannabinoids are subject to change and can vary by jurisdiction.

Last week, six of the couple’s seven children were removed from the house by court order. All the children were returned to the home between two and eight days of their removal.\nThe only exception is the family’s eldest female child, one of the children who reported the abuse, who left the shelter last week without permission. When she is located, she will temporarily stay at a shelter until a safety plan can be established within the family or with family relatives.\nLast week, Hennepin County Juvenile Court Judge Kathryn Quaintance issued an order for the temporary removal of six children from their Somali parents' home. Her order was based upon tape recorded reports from two children stating that they had been physically abused. The abuse was serious enough to leave bruises and a scar and other children in the family said they witnessed the abuse.\nThe order was issued to protect the safety of the children while the reports of abuse were investigated. The children were taken to a shelter staffed by trained child care workers. At the shelter, they were fed a diet and given time for prayer consistent with their family's religious beliefs.\nThe children remained at the shelter for less than 48 hours before a court hearing was held. At the court hearing the mother was represented by a lawyer. Judge Quaintance allowed two children to return home right away. The youngest child was never removed from the home and was allowed to stay at home with the parents and three of the children continued to stay at the shelter while social workers looked for a relative who they could stay with.\nAdults in the Somali and the “Western” community share an important value: all children should be protected and safe.\nThe laws of Minnesota require child protection workers to take reports of physical abuse seriously. In this case, child protection workers from the Hennepin County Human Services and Public Health Department investigated the claims of child abuse. They determined physical abuse did occur and by law, they had to take action to try to prevent it from happening again. We use the same standard across cultures when we evaluate whether abuse has occurred. The law also requires a judge to hear and rule on the case quickly. That is why the family is together again, just eight days later.\nWe share another important value with the Somali community. We believe that families are critically important for children and we make every effort to return children to their parents as soon as they can be reunited safely.\nUnder many circumstances, we are able to provide counseling services to families without ever taking the children from the home. In this case, those services were offered to the mother. A Somali interpreter translated the child protection social worker's words and documents.\nThe mother decided not to work with the social worker voluntarily. We asked her to name community leaders who she trusted but she chose not to give us that information. Her decisions made social workers worry about whether the children would be safe.\nAfter the court hearings last week, we met with Imaam Hassan Jama to discuss ways to work together on this case and future cases. We talked about ways that Somali community members could become more involved in the court system to help with difficult decision making. We are committed to continuing that discussion and finding ways to learn from each other.\nWhile we may at times hold differing viewpoints, our commitment to children is a strong bond that will help us achieve safety and security for all of our children.", "domain": "law"}

Court orders were granted in New York and Florida and prohibit Drop Ship Solutions of Brooklyn, New York and Salco International, of Clearwater, Florida from selling specified Savvier products during the pendency of the action.Savvier is vigorously defending their patent, copyright, and trademark rights on 6 Second Abs in an effort to protect the consumer from inferior quality merchandise. Savvier has also served cease and desist letters against several additional distributors and further investigations and actions are pending as Savvier continues to shut down counterfeiters in an ongoing sweep of companies suspected of selling counterfeit product.\nOn June 29, 2004, Savvier and private investigators served the temporary restraining order at the offices of Drop Ship Solutions and its owner Mitchell Atiles, an unauthorized reseller suspected of distributing counterfeit 6 Second Ab units. The Court subsequently granted a preliminary injunction against Drop Ship Solutions pursuant to a stipulation between the parties. On July 26, 2004 a temporary restraining order was granted and served upon Salco International and its owner Sal Maggio at their offices in Clearwater, Florida. On September 24, 2004, the parties agreed to a preliminary injunction that was granted by the Court. Legal proceedings against both companies are ongoing, including Savvier's claims for monetary damages.\n\"Savvier is committed to aggressively locating and shutting down any distributors or re-sellers of counterfeit 6 Second Ab products. Savvier is proud of the high product quality of all of their products and do not want inferior quality products being sold to customers because in the end it's the customer that is being ripped off by the counterfeiters\" said Jeff Tuller, President of Savvier. Savvier has an extensive system in place to identify and stop counterfeit products from being sold. Mr. Tuller also commented that \"Little do these people know that we have eyes everywhere. We are currently prosecuting cases where we have digital images of street vendors and license plates where we track the sources back through the supply chain throughout the U.S. and China and shut them down with the help of private investigators skilled in this type of work.\n\"The primary culprits attempt to sell on the Internet or as street vendors or at swap meets. If a customer is unsure of whether products being sold on the internet are legitimate, a safe place to shop is the official website for 6 Second Abs at www.6secondabs.com or an authorized retail location\" said Stuart Turner, Product Manager at Savvier.\nSavvier has noted that the counterfeit products are clearly of inferior quality and contain DVD's that simply do not work. \"It is shocking to me that despite the risks to both themselves and to the consumers who buy product, companies continue to try to pass off counterfeit product,\" said Joseph P. Costa, of Costa, Abrams & Coate LLP, Savvier's attorneys. \"The lawsuits that we have brought and that we will continue to bring will require these resellers to shoulder some of the responsibility for the potential harm they've brought to consumers and honest resellers of Savvier product.\"\nSavvier has noticed several identifying marks on the counterfeit 6 Second Abs units that can help distinguish them from the authentic 6 Second Abs:\n• Prices that are well below the televised\nAs part of its efforts to stop the distribution of counterfeit product, Savvier has received commitments of cooperation from Drop Ship Solutions and Salco International that they will provide the identities of those customers who received counterfeit product so that authentic replacement product can be provided to them at the expense of the infringing distributor. \"This is part of the goal here, to make sure that purchasers of Savvier product receive product of only the highest quality\", said Jeff Tuller, Savvier's President.\nSavvier was founded in 2002 and is an industry leader in direct response marketing. Its first two long-form infomercials, 6 Second Abs and Bodyflex, were certified #1 hits on both the Jordan Whitney and IMS charts.\nSavvier is a registered trademark of Savvier, LP.", "domain": "law"}

It is often regulated by government agencies or gambling control boards. This makes it important to understand the laws and regulations before opening a sportsbook. In addition, it is crucial to consider the needs of users and what features they want in a sportsbook.\nSports betting is a popular pastime for many Americans. It has been legalized in most states, and it is available online and on mobile devices. This has fueled competition and innovation in the industry, but it has also created problems that sportsbooks are trying to resolve.\nOne of the biggest challenges for sportsbooks is determining whether or not they should offer same-game parlays. This type of bet can be dangerous for the books because it can lead to large losses. For this reason, it is important to consult with a legal advisor before making such a bet. In addition, sportsbooks should keep track of all bets placed by players and should pay out winning bets quickly and accurately.\nAnother challenge for sportsbooks is the fact that they must comply with state and federal gambling regulations. Moreover, sportsbooks must ensure that their employees are knowledgeable and trained in the industry. In addition, they must also have sufficient security measures in place to protect their customers’ personal information. This is a complicated task, and it can lead to serious consequences if not done correctly.\nLastly, sportsbooks must be able to provide a variety of betting markets. This includes both major sports and alternative wagers such as future bets, which are based on the potential outcome of an event. Some of these bets are more accurate than others, but they all have the same basic premise: predicting something that will happen during a game or event and risking money on it.\nSportsbooks must be able to quickly adjust their odds in response to sudden changes in the market. For example, if a player wins a big bet and the sportsbook isn’t ready to pay out, it could lose millions of dollars in a matter of hours. This is why sportsbooks must have detailed records of every bet placed, and a system for verifying each player’s identity before paying out their winnings.\nA good sportsbook will have a clear registration and verification process that is easy for users to follow. In addition, it will be a secure and user-friendly platform that is always up and running. A well-designed sportsbook will keep users coming back.\nUsing a turnkey solution can have a number of disadvantages for sportsbooks, including high costs and lower profit margins. In addition, white labeling requires a lot of back-and-forth communication and can slow down the development process. Therefore, it is better to build a custom sportsbook from the ground up than to use a turnkey solution.", "domain": "law"}

But if you are one of the 8.2 million Americans dealing with debt to the IRS, it can be difficult to know how to proceed responsibly and proactively to get your finances in order.\nFortunately, regardless of your level of debt, there are many ways that you can get help with back taxes, either with an offer in compromise or you can receive tax amnesty. However, the longer you wait, the more difficult it becomes to address your back tax problems, so if you have been avoiding taking action out of fear of the consequences, the best thing you can do for yourself is to take action now, no matter how long it has been or how much you may owe. While initial late fees are 5% of the total for each late month up to 25% of your total debt, the IRS can continue to add 0.5% of the debt amount per month to your total for up to four years of late payments. Taking action now to find ways to reduce the penalties you may have accrued decreases the likelihood that the IRS will begin an investigation and it means you can go back to collecting refunds instead of worrying!\n1.) Hire a Professional\nDepending on the amount of money you owe, it may be easier to tackle your debt with the help of a tax professional. Make sure your tax professional is a tax attorney, a Certified Public Accountant, or an Enrolled Agent.\nIf you owe less than $10,000 you may be in a position to settle your own finances. In this case, you should contact the IRS right away to find out about your options in settling up back taxes. If you owe more than $10,000, it’s very likely that you will benefit from the help of a qualified professional.\n2.) Find a Compromise Solution with the IRS\nThe IRS offers a few options for individuals to pay their back taxes to keep you from facing unreasonable hardship. For example, you can decide to garnish your wages. This allows you to increase the amount of tax taken from each paycheck to slowly pay back the amount you owe. If your paycheck comes from non-taxed income (including unemployment or social security payments) you can fill out a Form W-4V to have tax withheld from this income. Use a W-4P to adjust income from pension annuity payments.\nIf your tax problems are sufficiently serious, you can work with the IRS to have your total owed amount evaluated in light of your cost of living and other expenses. This way, the IRS can determine an amount that is more reasonable for you to pay, but you will need to be able to pay the full sum at once or over a short payment plan period.\n3.) File an Amended Return\nFiling an amended tax return allows you to make corrections if the source of your back tax problem was a mistake when you originally filed. File a Form 1040X to make amendments if you filed with forms 1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ. If you have multiple returns with errors, you will need to fill a Form 1040X for each. However, an amended return is not appropriate for correcting simple arithmetic errors, as such errors should be caught by the IRS.\n4.) As a Last Resort, Declare Bankruptcy\nIf, even after trying to find a compromise solution with the help of a professional, you are a still not able to pay your back taxes, you can declare bankruptcy. In declaring bankruptcy, you are legally announcing that you are not able to pay your debts. This means that your assets will be sold and your non-essential income will be used to pay back your debts.\nBefore declaring bankruptcy, you will need to file returns for the last four years and continue to file returns for the duration of the time period that you are bankrupt. You will have to petition to be considered bankrupt and your term of bankruptcy generally lasts for one year.\nWhile some people think of bankruptcy as a convenient method of getting rid of debt, it is a choice that should not be made lightly as it will have long-term financial consequences and negative impacts on your credit.\n5.) Evaluate Your Finances to Avoid Future Underpayments\nAccording to the IRS, most underpayments or missed payments are the result of accidents and miscalculations. Thus, you should evaluate your situation and identify a solution based on the specifics of your case.\nIn some cases, individuals were not aware that they were not having enough subtracted from their paychecks. If this is the case, you can go online to change your W-4 to adjust the amount subtracted.\nIf you have non-taxed income, you can file to have up to 25% withheld from your pay checks or up to 10% of your unemployment checks. In addition, individuals who receive non-taxed income may find that their end-of-year taxes are much higher than expected if their quarterly taxes were too low.\nWhatever your circumstances, evaluating the mistakes that led to your back tax problems will allow you to adjust your plans for the future to make appropriate payments. Consider working with a professional to come up with a new financial plan for the future if you feel unable to change past habits.\nBe sure to drop by the Living Frugal with Erika’s Deal Group!

However, with great power comes great responsibility. As AI becomes more integrated into our lives, there is a growing need for comprehensive regulations to mitigate the potential risks and ensure the ethical and safe development and deployment of AI systems. In this technical and scientific blog post, we will delve into the future of AI and explore the critical role of regulation in addressing these risks.\nUnderstanding AI’s Rapid Evolution\nBefore delving into the regulatory aspects, it is essential to comprehend the trajectory of AI development. AI encompasses a wide range of technologies, from machine learning and deep learning to reinforcement learning and natural language processing. These technologies have already demonstrated remarkable capabilities in areas such as image recognition, natural language understanding, and autonomous vehicles.\nThe future of AI holds the promise of even more significant breakthroughs, including advanced autonomous systems, enhanced healthcare diagnostics, and personalized education. However, as AI systems become more complex and capable, they also become more difficult to control and predict. This complexity increases the potential for unintended consequences and misuse, necessitating robust regulatory frameworks.\nMitigating Risks in AI\nThe risks associated with AI can be categorized into several key areas, each requiring targeted regulatory measures:\n- Ethical Concerns: AI systems can perpetuate biases present in training data, leading to unfair and discriminatory outcomes. Robust regulation should mandate transparency and fairness in AI algorithms, as well as guidelines for responsible AI development.\n- Privacy: The proliferation of AI-powered surveillance and data analytics poses a threat to personal privacy. Stricter regulations on data collection, storage, and usage are vital to safeguard individual privacy rights.\n- Security: AI systems can be vulnerable to attacks and adversarial manipulation. Regulations must mandate cybersecurity measures and protocols to protect AI systems from threats.\n- Accountability and Liability: Determining responsibility in the event of AI-related accidents or errors can be challenging. Regulations should establish liability frameworks that assign responsibility appropriately, be it the developers, operators, or the AI system itself.\n- Safety: In fields like autonomous vehicles and healthcare, AI safety is paramount. Regulations should require rigorous testing, validation, and certification processes to ensure the safety of AI systems.\nRegulating AI: A Technical Challenge\nCreating effective regulations for AI is a multifaceted technical challenge. It involves addressing the following complexities:\n- Algorithmic Transparency: Regulators need to develop methods for auditing and understanding complex AI algorithms, especially deep neural networks, to ensure that decisions made by these systems can be explained and justified.\n- Data Governance: Regulations must define standards for data quality, fairness, and bias mitigation during the training of AI models. This includes addressing issues related to data collection, anonymization, and consent.\n- Dynamic Adaptation: AI systems can adapt and evolve over time. Regulators must devise mechanisms to monitor and control AI systems continuously, even as they learn and improve their performance.\n- Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Regulating AI requires input from experts in various fields, including computer science, ethics, law, and sociology. Collaborative efforts are needed to create comprehensive regulations.\nThe Role of International Collaboration\nAI development is a global endeavor, and the future of AI regulation must reflect this reality. International collaboration is crucial to harmonize AI standards and promote responsible AI development across borders. Initiatives like the Global Partnership on AI (GPAI) are essential steps in this direction.\nAs AI technologies continue to advance, so too must our regulatory frameworks. The future of AI is brimming with possibilities, but it also carries inherent risks that must be carefully managed. Striking a balance between fostering innovation and mitigating risks through robust regulation is the cornerstone of a responsible AI future. The collaborative efforts of governments, industries, and academia are pivotal in shaping a future where AI benefits humanity while safeguarding our values and principles.\nLet’s delve deeper into the key aspects of AI regulation and international collaboration in the context of mitigating risks associated with artificial intelligence.\nEthical Concerns and Algorithmic Transparency\nRegulating AI for ethical considerations involves ensuring that AI systems adhere to principles of fairness, accountability, and transparency. Ethical AI principles should be enshrined in regulations to guide developers and operators. However, implementing these principles in practice is technically challenging.\n- Fairness and Bias Mitigation: Regulators must establish clear guidelines for identifying and mitigating biases in AI algorithms. This necessitates techniques for measuring, monitoring, and addressing bias throughout the AI system’s lifecycle.\n- Transparency: Achieving algorithmic transparency is a technical challenge because complex models like deep neural networks can be inscrutable. Developing techniques for explaining AI decisions, especially for high-stakes applications like healthcare or finance, is essential.\n- Explainability: AI systems should provide interpretable explanations for their decisions. This requires research in creating interpretable AI models and methods for explaining black-box AI systems.\nPrivacy and Data Governance\nData protection and privacy are paramount concerns in AI regulation. Technical considerations in this context include:\n- Data Minimization: Regulations should encourage the collection and use of only necessary data, minimizing the potential for misuse and privacy violations.\n- Data Anonymization: Establishing technical standards for anonymizing data to protect individual identities while allowing meaningful analysis and training of AI models.\n- Consent Mechanisms: Creating technically robust consent mechanisms that ensure users have control over their data and understand how it will be used by AI systems.\nDynamic Adaptation and Continuous Monitoring\nAI systems continuously adapt and learn from new data. Regulators need to address how to maintain control and accountability in dynamic AI environments.\n- Model Governance: Implementing technical frameworks for monitoring AI models in real-time, ensuring they adhere to regulatory requirements and ethical standards.\n- Traceability: Developing mechanisms to trace the evolution of AI models, including data sources, training methods, and updates, to ensure accountability.\n- Alert Systems: Creating AI systems capable of detecting their own failures or biases and triggering alerts for human intervention.\nThe technical nature of AI regulation necessitates collaboration between various domains:\n- Computer Science: AI researchers play a pivotal role in developing AI systems that comply with regulatory standards. They must design algorithms that are transparent, explainable, and robust.\n- Ethics and Philosophy: Ethicists and philosophers contribute to defining the ethical guidelines and principles that underpin AI regulation.\n- Legal and Regulatory Experts: Legal experts are required to draft and enforce the regulations. They must interpret the complex technical aspects in a legal context.\n- Sociologists and Psychologists: Understanding the societal impact and psychological implications of AI is essential for comprehensive regulation.\nThe global nature of AI development necessitates international collaboration:\n- Standardization: International bodies like ISO and IEEE can establish global AI standards, ensuring that AI technologies are developed consistently across borders.\n- Knowledge Sharing: Collaborative platforms for sharing knowledge, best practices, and regulatory experiences can help nations learn from one another.\n- Harmonization: Efforts such as the Global Partnership on AI (GPAI) aim to harmonize AI policies, promoting responsible AI development worldwide.\n- Trade Agreements: AI regulation can also become a part of trade agreements, ensuring that nations with robust AI regulations are incentivized to trade fairly in the global AI marketplace.\nIn conclusion, the future of AI regulation is a complex interplay between technical challenges, ethical considerations, and international cooperation. As AI technologies evolve, regulations must evolve in tandem to ensure the responsible and beneficial deployment of AI systems while mitigating the associated risks. Collaboration among stakeholders and a commitment to interdisciplinary approaches will be instrumental in shaping this future and ensuring that AI remains a force for good in our world.", "domain": "law"}

This stands to reason because people cannot even become potential clients unless they know a law firm exists. The discovery process starts with a search via Google, Bing, Yahoo, or some other search engine, so staying as visible as possible via keywords and phrases represents a key to web marketing success.\nToo often overlooked in the lists of tips and best practices for lawyer SEO are considerations of ethics. Attorneys are held to high standards for honesty, professionalism, and client service. Those rules do not relax when it comes to advertising legal services and showcasing expertise.\nWhen the Legal EFX web development and internet marketing team works with a law firm, we share the following five pieces of advice. Boosting SEO should never come at the cost of compromising ethics.\nUse Only Actual Quotes From Real Clients in Testimonials\nNothing will ever outperform word-of-mouth from satisfied clients when it comes to attracting new cases and consultations. Putting the right words in the mouths of the wrong — or fictitious — people can never become an option, however. Misrepresenting the identities of clients or manufacturing quotes opens a law firm and its partners to charges of fraud.\nAttorneys must also avoid pressuring clients to provide testimonials or post positive reviews on sites like Angie’s List, Yelp, Avvo.com, and Google. A request to appear in firm marketing materials can be included in end-of-case paperwork, but an attorney crosses a bright red line when he or she makes providing a testimonial seem mandatory.\nNever Make False or Misleading Statements\nHonesty and accuracy must be watchwords for every article, blog post, press release, testimonial, video, or other piece of content on a law firm’s website. Any misinformation or, worse, intentionally misleading statement represents a disservice to current and potential clients. Untrue or unsupportable information on a law firm’s website can also open its attorneys up to formal ethics charges and license suspensions or revocations.\nSpecial attention must be paid to ensuring the factuality of attorney bios, case result summaries, and announcements of professional certifications and awards. Exaggerating accomplishments on a law firm website equates to falsifying a resume or CV.\nBe Wary of Paying for Links\nSearch engines reward sites for earning incoming links. In English, this means that a website’s chances for appearing on the first page of Google results increase each time some other site connects to it.\nAt the same time, Google and the other search engines penalize sites that appear to draw links from unrelated websites. A law firm, according to the people who create search engine algorithms, should connect to other firms, social media accounts of attorneys, law publications, and general legal information sites like NOLO and Justia. When a majority of incoming links originate on nonlegal sites, a firm’s search score deceases. This does not apply to paid or pay-per-click ads, which can appear anywhere and do not count as incoming links.\nGoing through that explanation was necessary to explain this: Paying to generate links from non-industry related websites often backfires. The marketing tactic is not necessarily unethical, but it is usually counterproductive. Creating quality content that other lawyers and legal sites find useful to reference and quote avoids ethical gray areas and improves SEO.\nYour state’s laws or professional code of conduct for lawyers may require you to include a statement like, “Previous case results are not guarantees of future outcomes,” or “Nothing on this website constitutes legal advice, nor should anything be read to imply or create an attorney-client relationship” somewhere on your website.\nEven if doing so is not mandated, developing and posting such disclaimers can prevent ethics problems related to accusations of making false promises. Also, even if potential clients fail to see the disclaimers, making them available offers a first-line defense against breach of contract and legal malpractice lawsuits.\nMake Sure People on Your Website Always Know How to Contact You\nProviding an office phone number and online contact options on each page of the law firm’s website serves two essential purposes of web marketing. First, it increases the likelihood that a website visitor will convert him or herself into a law firm client.\nSecond, including contact information affirms ownership of, and faith in, the information presented. Potential clients will place greater trust in what they see and read when they understand the website creator is not trying hide.", "domain": "law"}

The ban — which aims to reduce litter and save landfill space — includes plates, trays, clamshell containers as well as packing peanuts, which the city has determined can’t be recycled. Smaller businesses with annual revenues under $500,000 can apply for “hardship exemptions” if they can prove they would be unduly harmed financially.\nThe Restaurant Action Alliance filed a lawsuit against the city over the ban, which had earlier been passed by the City Council in September 2017, arguing that styrofoam and other polystyrene foam can be recycled. But the city’s Department of Sanitation said it was not economically feasible because there was no market for the recycled product. On Friday, civil court Judge Margaret Chan agreed with the city. The city will reach out to eateries to educate them about the ban and suggest environmentally friendly alternatives.\nCustomers outside of the metro-NYC market will not be effected and will have the ability to continue to purchase foam products. As the ban becomes closer to reality, expect your Victory sales representative to provide you with alternative solutions for your styro-foam takeout needs.", "domain": "law"}

Canadians from all provinces can order Quebec cheese or Saskatchewan cherries or Maritime seafood for delivery to their home province. But the same freedom does not apply to another Canadian product: wine.\nYou cannot order a bottle of wine from that nice little winery you visited in another province last summer and have it delivered to your door. If you try to, you will be running afoul of the law.\nThe Importation of Intoxicating Liquors Act of 1928 (IILA) is a Canadian law – albeit an 82-year old one – that was devised to ease the country out of prohibition. The law hands the privilege of importation over to the province, and in most provinces only your provincial government agent, in the form of a liquor board, can import liquor under this statute. And so, you are breaking the law when you cross any provincial boundary in possession of any alcoholic beverage, even if you are bringing it home in your own car or returning with a single bottle of wine on a flight between two provinces. In fact, you cannot legally pack a cooler with beer and wine and then cross a provincial border for a weekend get-away.\nSadly this post-prohibition but pre-depression law prevents most small and mid-size Canadian wineries from selling their wine to hard-won customers in other provinces. With few exceptions, the provincial liquor authorities only import domestic wines from the larger Canadian wineries. As a result, smaller wineries are essentially shut out of the market in all provinces except their own. It also means that Canadian wine consumers can rarely access wine from the dedicated small producers that comprise the heart of quality Canadian wine.\nThere are many legal opinions that state the IILA is in fact unconstitutional under the Constitution Act of 1867, the law that founded Canada. Section 121 [Freedom of Goods] of this all-powerful Canadian statute reads:\n“All Articles of the Growth, Produce, or Manufacture of any one of the Provinces shall, from and after the Union, be admitted free into each of the other Provinces.†(emphasis added)\nThis seems to be straightforward enough, so why is Canadian wine, which is clearly the product of one province, denied entry into another province?\nPerhaps more to the point, the only entities that benefit from this law are the provincial liquor commissions, which already have a monopoly on liquor importation, a near-monopoly on liquor sales, and unrestricted power to tax, levy, mark-up, or otherwise relieve consumers of their money. And this from a public corporation!\nOVA calls on the Government of Canada to put an end to this 82-year-old nonsense and repeal the IILA. Give Canadian consumers the right to purchase Canadian wines throughout Canada.\nFurther, OVA calls on all Provincial Governments in Canada to work together to support the interests of all Canadians and the entire Canadian wine industry by allowing interprovincial sales.\nNote: OVA is a group of 104 Ontario winery members, with a further 67 wineries throughout Canada as associate\nJim Warren, President", "domain": "law"}

However, to ensure fair access for all inmates, calls may be limited in duration.\nJail Phone Number and Guidelines for Use\nThe general phone number for the Black Hawk County Jail is (319) 291-2587. This number should not be used to attempt to reach an inmate, but rather for general inquiries, to arrange visitations, or to add funds to an inmate’s phone account.\nRemember that phone communication with inmates is monitored and recorded, so be mindful of what you discuss over the phone. Always be respectful and follow all rules and regulations set by the detention center. Any misuse of the phone system can result in loss of phone privileges for the inmate.\nCommunicating with inmates through mail can be an effective way to maintain contact. However, it’s crucial to follow the set guidelines to ensure your mail reaches the intended recipient without any issues.\nProcess of Sending Mail to an Inmate\n- All mail sent to inmates should be properly addressed. The inmate’s full name and booking number must be clearly written on the envelope. The full address of the jail is: Black Hawk County Jail, 225 East 6th Street, Waterloo, IA 50703.\n- All incoming mail is inspected for contraband. Mail found to contain contraband will be rejected and may be reported to law enforcement.\n- Once cleared, the mail will be delivered to the inmate.\nGuidelines for Sending Mail to Inmates\n- Only letters, postcards, and certain approved documents (such as legal documents) are allowed.\n- Letters should not contain any staples, paper clips, glitter, stickers, or any other items that can be used as contraband.\n- Explicit or inappropriate content is not allowed.\n- Mail should not discuss any illegal activities or plans to disrupt the order of the jail.\nFor a detailed list of mail restrictions, refer to the Black Hawk County Jail’s inmate mail page.\nSending Money to Inmates\nFunds are an essential part of an inmate’s life in jail, allowing them to purchase items from the commissary, make phone calls, and cover other expenses. But it’s important to follow the approved methods and regulations when sending money to inmates.\nApproved Methods for Sending Money\nMoney can be sent to inmates in Black Hawk County Jail via several methods:\n- Online deposits: Money can be deposited into an inmate’s account using an online service. Check the jail’s official website for the approved service.\n- Mail: Money orders can be mailed to the jail. Ensure that the inmate’s full name and booking number are written clearly on the money order.\n- In-person deposits: Money can be deposited in person at the jail’s front office during business hours.\nRegulations and Limitations for Sending Money\n- The jail has a limit on the amount of money that an inmate can receive in a given week. Check with the jail for current limits.\n- Funds must be sent using the approved methods. Cash, personal checks, or money sent in any other form will be rejected.\n- Any attempt to send money in violation of the jail’s rules can lead to disciplinary action against the inmate and potential legal action against the sender.\n- All transactions are subject to fees. Be sure to understand the fee structure of the method you choose.\nFor a detailed list of rules and procedures for sending money, refer to the Black Hawk County Jail’s inmate funds page.\nThe inmate commissary is a store within the detention center where inmates can purchase items that are not provided by the jail, but that may improve their quality of life during incarceration.\nDefinition and Purpose of the Commissary\nA commissary in a jail context serves a similar function to a convenience store. It provides a variety of items for inmates to purchase, including toiletries, stationery, snack foods, and in some cases, clothing items. The commissary is intended to supplement the basic necessities provided by the jail and allow inmates access to additional comfort items.\nHow Inmates Can Use the Commissary\nTo use the commissary, inmates need to have funds in their personal jail account. These funds can come from money earned through jail jobs or funds sent by friends and family. Inmates can order items from the commissary on specified days, and the cost of these items is deducted from their account.\nRestrictions on the Commissary Use\nWhile the commissary provides a range of products, usage is subject to certain restrictions:\n- There may be spending limits imposed on the commissary to prevent any one inmate from depleting the available stock.\n- Not all items are available to all inmates. Certain items may be restricted based on the inmate’s behavior, their health needs, or their security level.\n- The commissary is a privilege, not a right. Inmates who do not follow the rules of the jail may be restricted from using the commissary.\nIncarceration Records and Mugshots\nIncarceration records and mugshots are part of the public record and can typically be accessed through specific channels.\nProcess of Obtaining Incarceration Records\nIncarceration records provide information about an inmate’s booking, charges, court dates, and release date. These records can be obtained through the Black Hawk County Sheriff’s Office or through the jail directly. In some cases, an online search portal may also provide access to these records. Please be aware that while most information is part of the public record, certain details may be withheld for privacy reasons.\nExplanation of Mugshots and Their Availability\nA mugshot is a photographic portrait taken after someone is arrested. It typically includes two angles – one frontal and one profile. Mugshots are used by authorities as a record-keeping tool to track inmates.\nIn Iowa, mugshots are considered public record and are often included in the online inmate roster. However, they may not be immediately available for newly booked inmates. Also, mugshots may be removed once an inmate is released. Always remember to respect the privacy and dignity of individuals when accessing these records.\nThe security level of a detention facility like Black Hawk County Jail refers to the extent of measures taken to ensure the safety and security of inmates, staff, and the community.\nGeneral Description of Security Measures\nSecurity measures at the jail may include physical barriers such as fences and walls, electronic systems like surveillance cameras and alarms, and procedural controls including routine checks and inmate counts.\nThere is a strong emphasis on preventing escapes, maintaining order within the facility, and preventing the introduction of contraband. Security measures are also in place to protect inmates from self-harm and from potential harm caused by other inmates.\nCategories of Offenders Housed\nThe jail typically houses individuals who are awaiting trial, serving short sentences, or waiting to be transferred to a state or federal prison to serve longer sentences.\nInmates can range from low-level offenders to those facing serious charges. The level of security measures applied often depends on the severity of the charges, the inmate’s behavior, and the risk they pose to themselves and others.\nRole of Correctional Officers\nCorrectional officers are a key part of the jail’s security framework. They are responsible for maintaining order within the facility, supervising inmate activities, conducting security checks, and responding to incidents. They also play a role in inmate intake and release, transportation, and facilitating services like visitation and medical care.\nLocation and Contact Details\nIf you have further questions or need to get in touch with the Black Hawk County Jail, you can use the following official contact information:\nBlack Hawk County Jail, 225 East 6th Street, Waterloo, IA 50703\nFrequently Asked Questions\n- How can I find an inmate’s location or status?

For those who don’t know about the upcoming changes – known as the Fiduciary Rule - you need to educate yourself so that you understand the kind of advice you are receiving. I don’t think most people want to be told they are getting unbiased advice when conflicts of interest exist. Let me explain: In the financial advice business there are two separate standards of client care. They are known as the Suitability Rule and the Fiduciary Standard. Let’s start by examining some differences between the Suitability Standard of Care and the Fiduciary Standard of Care.\nThe Suitability Rule only requires an adviser to make recommendations to his or her client that are suitable for that investor. There is no requirement under the Suitability Rule that requires the adviser to put the client’s best interest before that of the adviser or the investment firm. It just says that investment recommendations have to be suitable. So, let’s suppose an adviser operating under the Suitability Standard is evaluating two investments with similar characteristics to recommend to a client. Investment A has proven itself over time to be a superior and a lower cost option than investment B but investment B pays a higher commission to the adviser. Under the Suitability Rule the adviser can and more often than not does, recommend option B. In fact, variable annuity companies often run special bonuses in which they will, for a limited time, pay a higher commission to the financial salesperson (let’s call them what they are because they are not truly ‘advisers’) to sell their products. As a 26-year veteran of the financial services industry I have known people that actually switched the products they recommended as the special bonuses changed each month. But because they were only held to the Suitability Standard they were not actually breaking the law. But they sure were acting unethically, in my opinion.\nHistorically, financial salespeople have acted under the Suitability Rule. Under the North Carolina Investment Advisors Act (which does not apply to stock brokers and insurance sales people) registered investment advisers are required by law to act as a fiduciary in all advisory relationships. This means that by law, fiduciaries are required to put their clients’ best interests before their own. So, if we consider the example above with the only change being that the adviser is operating as a Fiduciary, then he or she must recommend option A unless there is an EXTREMELY good reason to do otherwise and the reason(s) for that recommendation must be well documented. I am proud to say that Emerald Asset Management has operated in a fiduciary capacity in all of our client relationships since our founding and well before the new Fiduciary Rule was on anybody’s radar.\nSo, when you are seeking financial advice, the first question you might want to ask the representative of the company that you are interviewing is, “Do you act as a fiduciary in ALL of your client relationships?” If the answer is “no” then you might want to consider other options.

The article in today’s paper highlights two different concerns including – a personal complaint about taxation and county and state health inspection systems.\nTo break it down, we will react separately:\nHealth Department’s Role in Inspecting Trucks\n“Trucks must be licensed, but once they’re inspected they may move freely across county lines because a license from one county health department is good across the state, Shepherd said. Operators still face potential local check-up inspections though, and are supposed to let health departments know when and where they’ll be open in that department’s jurisdiction, Shepherd said. They also must be associated with a brick-and-mortar restaurant, where they’re expected to go for cleanings and to dump things such as used sink water. They face a number of other requirements on par with the ones traditional restaurants must meet, such as having commercial-grade kitchen equipment, Shepherd said.”\nExactly. It’s a health department’s role to inspect both mobile food trucks and brick and mortar restaurants. They are a valuable player in this conversation and it is their responsibility to create systems that work for maintaining inspections — not to discourage a free market. Additionally, section 26-234 #5 in the City of Greensboro Ordinance on Pushcarts, requires “a copy of any approval required by the Guilford County Health Department pursuant to the rules governing the sanitation of restaurants and other food handling establishments and any other approval required by a governmental unit for the preparation and service of food.”\nPersonal concerns, by the president of a restaurant chain and a distributorship, about food trucks, complaining last week that some trucks are registered in other counties, so their owners pay property and sales taxes there instead of in Guilford.\nTrucks registered in other counties are still required to pay a permitting fee to the City of Greensboro to operate. And, not all restaurants pay property taxes – they pay rent to property owners – as do food trucks. In the case of our focus on downtown Greensboro, we are reviewing appropriate Center City permitting fees that would pay into the Business Improvement District.\nWe have already addressed speculations that food trucks don’t pay sales tax to the county of purchase. According to the NC DOR, “A mobile vendor should collect and remit sales tax in the location where the customer receives the good or product.”\nWe refer back to the specificity of our request. We are requesting the City of Greensboro implement a one year pilot program allowing food trucks to operate, with specific procedures and regulations, in predetermined geographic areas or “zones” within Downtown Greensboro. This program will include metrics to measure impact.\nWe believe downtown should be inclusive, encourage new business and find mutually beneficial solutions to an environment where both food trucks and brick and mortar restaurants thrive. Food trucks have the potential to attract more visitors, residents, patrons and revitalize underutilized sections of our Center City. Other cities across the country have done it – let’s step it up.\nWe hope that the Guilford County Department of Health will serve their role in inspecting the trucks part of the downtown pilot program. We have addressed concerns about taxation and believe that we can create adequate regulations to maintain fairness.", "domain": "law"}

There is a zero tolerance policy for illegal activity being discussed.\n- Do not post content from private correspondence, such as email or chat, within the forums. Posting any other person’s private information such as email, phone number or address could result in banning.\n- Each member is allowed one login account. Registering with multiple accounts is not allowed.\n- We reserve the right to remove offensive posts without notice.\n- If you are going to post non-english on these forums, please also post an english translation of your post.\n- Foul language isn’t necessary, so it won’t be tolerated. Any attempt to bypass the profanity filters will result in an infraction against the user and that post being edited or removed. Using asterisks or any other symbol to disguise bad language is considered bypassing the filter.\n- If you are going to post material that is not your own, properly credit the source(s); failure to do so is considered plagiarism.\nIf an interpersonal issue arises, please be mindful of the possibility that your behavior may have contributed to the problem. Taking responsibility for our actions is often a good first step toward a peaceful reconciliation.\nRespect Other Users\nSimply put, treat others as you wish to be treated; respect them and their views, even if you disagree with them.\nSpamming is forbidden. Please report spam with the forum report function and a moderator will review it for removal. Offending spam accounts and associated IP addresses will be banned. Do not reply to spam posts as it increases the amount of work required to clean them up.\nA “troll” is a person who intentionally attempts to disrupt, cause controversy, incite an argument, and/or receive negative attention by deliberately posting provocative content. The term may also refer to the act of posting such content, or the content itself.\nTrolls are generally deceitful and often use ambivalence as a method of covertly insulting, intimidating, or inciting a person or persons for their own sadistic pleasure. They often pick their words very carefully and are therefore able to defend their masked attempts at creating unrest, frequently redirecting the blame onto the community and its supposed failure to understand them properly. Trolling is strictly prohibited.\nAvoid Divisive Topics\nThere is no explicit list of topics considered to be “trollish”, controversial or provocative, but in the past, threads with posts pertaining to religion, race, nationalism and politics have invariably been closed. Therefore, specifically avoid these and all divisive topics on the Café forums! The forum staff certainly realize that such issues are deeply ingrained human realities.\nNo Power-Posting Posts\nPower-posting is best described as posting empty and worthless messages. It is not tolerated. People may have two reasons to do this: to increase their post count meaninglessly, or to lend support to an idea as if it were a vote. Examples of power-posting include, but are not limited to, replying with “+1”, “lol”, “me too”, “I agree”, or “:)”.\nWhen posting or replying to messages, make sure you have something to say. These empty posts clutter up threads and discussion, invalidate the ‘Show New Posts’ function, and waste bandwidth and server space.\nThreads that degenerate into a series of “+1/-1” or “me too/I agree/I disagree” will be locked. Individual power posts may also be deleted.\nPosting a single word or useless message (bumping) to attract attention to your thread is not allowed. Do your own research, continue to troubleshoot, post the results, and be patient with the community. If people are reading your thread without answering or offering help, try supplying more details, or ask to be pointed in the right direction. Often, the reason for posts remaining unanswered is due in large part to the sparse details in the original post itself, or, the obvious availability of solutions on the forum, on the web, or the community’s unwillingness to point out the obvious.\nCross-posting is posting the same question multiple times in different subforums. This is a waste of resources and is not permitted. Any cross-posted topic will be immediately locked or deleted.\nTry to place your posts in the correct forum for the topic. Our forums have been carefully categorized so that most topics fit in one logical location. Any post that is deemed by the staff to be in the wrong forum will be moved to the correct location without warning. Most users can find these on their own but if you lose your thread, it is acceptable to contact one of the forum advisers asking where it has been moved.\nThread hijacking is the process of replying to an existing thread with a different topic. This is generally discouraged. It is better to start a new thread if you have a problem that is related to an existing posted issue but clearly different. Posts that hijack a serious thread with off-topic discussion are also discouraged.\nDo Not Flame\nFlaming, in the most common sense definition, is directing negative, disrespectful, and/or insulting comments toward someone. An equally or more negative response, resulting in a cycling exchange of insults is often the consequence. Flaming fellow members (including the Café team) will not be tolerated. Never resort to personal insults and please avoid sarcastic and patronizing language. Discussions can be productive, but quarreling is always destructive.\nRespect The Staff\nMembers of The Soaring Café Forum Team have been chosen for their ability to exercise consistently good judgment and shall have the final say. Note that this forum is not run as a democracy. The forum staff shall always attempt to implement universally peaceful solutions, but in the end, are charged with the responsibility of maintaining peaceful, civil order for the forum majority. Therefore, they cannot always please everyone with the decisions made. Please do your part to contribute to a healthy community and environment.\nIf you feel that an egregious oversight has been made, do NOT post complaints in forum threads – they will be quickly closed. Alternatively, use the forum report function, email a member of the moderator group, or email firstname.lastname@example.org to contact the forum admins.\nWarnings, User Locking, Banning\nIf the Forum Moderation Team feels that a member’s behavior is unacceptable and warrants intervention, a warning will typically be issued unless the occurrence is judged to be especially flagrant, in which case a ban may become imminent. Warnings will not be discussed on the Soaring Café Forums by the Moderation Team. If the warning goes unheeded, further action will be taken. This may range from locking the offending user account, to deletion or banning of the user, out of consideration for a peaceful forum and community. Action is generally on a case-by-case basis.\nIf a user is apologetic, interested in a peaceful solution and wishes to have their account reinstated, a general consensus will be formed by the moderation team for, or against, such a request.\nCriminal solicitation is strictly forbidden on this website. In this context, “criminal solicitation” shall mean, “To actively or passively inform about, facilitate, incite, move, or persuade others to some act of lawlessness or illegal activity.”\nTherefore, do not post discussions about or link to criminal solicitation in any form. This includes, but is not limited to information or links to facilitate illegal drug use, theft, network intrusion, creation of code for malicious purposes, prohibited software copying, prohibited use of copyrighted/patented material, so-called “warez”, or sites which provide torrents or links to such content. Illegal content will be removed swiftly and dealt with in full accordance with known applicable law.\nThe free and open exchange of assistance, speech, ideas and opinions is highly regarded and encouraged on the forums, but it must be noted that the freedom granted to forum members is relative freedom. It exists within the boundaries of the above guidelines and principles. Complaints of censorship are therefore baseless and unfounded, since this necessary framework must simultaneously provide reasonable limitations. To illustrate, we are aware of the physical laws which govern energy and matter, yet we do not complain of their oppression. Instead, we recognize that such laws are essential for our welfare. Likewise, the Soaring Café community’s high standards reflected in these guidelines regulate community freedom for the common good and protection of all. The key, then, to true freedom on the forums is to cultivate benevolence toward others and by bringing only benefit to our peers. In addition, this allows members to satisfy all contributive impulses without aggravating themselves or encroaching on the freedom of others. Embracing the above principles and obeying the forum guidelines therefore benefits the entire community by providing freedom from the harmful and negative consequences of a more chaotic approach.\nThe Final Word\nThe owners, administrators, and moderators of this site reserve the right to remove, edit, move or close any post or ban any user for any reason. By registering with the SoaringCafe.com forums, you agree to this rule and to all of the other site rules and guidelines.\nAll content posted on the Soaring Café forums is granted to the Soaring Café forums with electronic publishing rights in perpetuity, as all content posted on this site becomes a part of the community. Please note that all posts express only the views of the author. Neither the owners of SoaringCafe.com nor its administrators or moderators are responsible for the content of any post.\nThese rules and guidelines are subject to change at any time without notice.", "domain": "law"}

This involved looking at a number of factors, such as:\n- whether trespass had occurred.\n- whether the damage could be attributed to his neighbour’s actions.\n- if the damage could be remedied.\nWe sent our findings to Mr Macartney in the form of a detailed report. We produced the report in accordance with Part 35 of the Civil Procedure Rules. This meant it was admissible in court.\nOur findings were presented during the hearing. As a result, Mr Macartney was delighted to learn that he had won his case. His neighbour was ordered to meet the cost of replacing the hedge.

Lipson\nOur firm handles legal matters in the following practice areas: general business litigation, business contracts, employment law, wrongful discharge, discrimination, harassment, civil rights, constitutional law, personal injury, real estate, insurance bad faith, unfair competition, alternative dispute resolution.\nWe are able to provide legal representation of high quality in a variety of areas because we focus on subjects of interest, and we do not try to be \"all things to all people.\" For example, in the general field of employment law David Lipson concentrates specifically on certain types of claims:\n- Retaliation and whistle-blower claims;\n- Claims of employer's violation of public policy;\n- Employment discrimination based on race, sex, national origin, religion, and disability;\n- Sexual and racial harassment;\n- Claims of unfair competition, misappropriation of trade secrets or other confidential information, and breach of loyalty or fiduciary duty;\n- Counseling and drafting of employment and separation agreements.\nDavid Lipson's approach to legal fees is different from that of many law firms. He handles plaintiffs' cases on a contingent fee basis where success in litigation appears reasonably probable. He may represent plaintiffs in other cases on the basis of a \"blended\" rate (a combination of a reduced contingency percentage and a reduced hourly rate). Where he defends cases, or does contractual or transactional work, he bills on an hourly basis, but excludes time that does not provide value to the client. In other words, if a case, or a contract, suggests several legal theories or issues, but research on only one or two proves to be relevant, we bill only for the relevant time.\nSince David Lipson has represented both plaintiffs and defendants in his areas of practice, and has legal experience both inside a major corporation and as outside counsel, he is also able to be more effective and efficient by anticipating the other side's perspective. Whatever the billing arrangement, our consistent approach to litigation, transactions, and counseling is to constantly ask the fundamental question: What result will best serve the client's interests, and what is the most cost-effective way to achieve it?\nDavid Lipson was educated at Harvard Law School and Stanford University, where he received a B.A. with Great Distinction. He was a law clerk for Justice Raymond Sullivan of the Supreme Court of California and for Judge Stanley Weigel of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. As to his experience, David Lipson is well versed in the courtroom, both at the trial level and on appeal, but at the same time he has a substantial background in alternative dispute resolution techniques, such as mediation, to obtain cost-effective outcomes. In all these respects, whether in the courtroom, in case negotiations, or in transactions, David Lipson brings the highest standards of professional ethics to his role as attorney and counselor at law.\nAreas of Practice\n- Business & Commercial Law\n- Civil Rights\n- General Business Litigation\n- Business Contracts\n- Employment Law\n- Wrongful Discharge\n- Constitutional Law\n- Personal Injury\n- Real Estate\n- Insurance Bad Faith\n- Unfair Competition\n- Alternative Dispute Resolution\n- California, 1972\n- U.S. Court of Appeals 9th Circuit, 1972\n- U.S. Supreme Court, 1981\n- Harvard University Law School, Cambridge, Massachusetts\n- J.D. - 1971\n- Stanford University, Palo Alto, California\n- B.A. - 1967\n- Honors: With Great Distinction\nProfessional Associations and Memberships\n- Bar Association of San Francisco, Member, Labor and Employment Law Section\n- Bar Association of San Francisco, Member, Business Law and Litigation Section\n- State Bar of California, Member, Litigation Section\n- San Francisco Trial Lawyers Association, Member", "domain": "law"}

The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 (Statutory Instrument 1992 No, 3004) require only that: 'During working hours, the temperature in all workplaces inside the building shall be reasonable.' Section 1 (Environmental criteria for design) of CIBSE Guide A: Environmental design, suggests for offices that the temperature range for comfort should be 21-23ºC in winter and 22-24 ºC in summer. The latter range applies to air conditioned buildings. Higher temperatures may be acceptable in non-air conditioned buildings.\nIs 'category 2' lighting a legal requirement in offices?\nNo. The Schedule to the Workplace (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992 (Statutory Instrument 1992 No. 2792) requires that: 'Any room lighting or task lighting provided shall ensure satisfactory lighting conditions and an appropriate contrast between the screen and the background environment, taking into account the type of work and the vision requirements of the operator or user.' The term 'category 2' is no longer used by the CIBSE. It was used to describe a particular design of luminaire (light fitting) that could be employed to prevent reflections of the luminaire on the display screen. Unfortunately, in doing so, these luminaires can produce a gloomy environment if used on their own without consideration of surface reflectances. In most offices, particularly where modern computers with bright screens are used, such reflections are not likely to occur and therefore it is not necessary to specify this type of luminaire. CIBSE Lighting Guide LG3: The visual environment for display screen use and its 2001 addendum gives detailed guidance on the design of lighting schemes that will satisfy the legal requirements while providing a pleasing visual environment. For more information go to the Society of Light and Lighting's Free Downloads. It should be noted that the provisions of the Regulations cover many other aspects of computer equipment and workstations, including the screen, keyboard, desk and operator's chair. The schedule to the Regulations may be found on the HMSO website\nWhat is the legal status of CIBSE publications?\nCIBSE publications are intended as guidance only. They have no legal standing in themselves. However, there may be a contractual obligation to follow CIBSE publications if cited within project contracts. Also, as the published guidance of an authoritative body, CIBSE publications are often used as evidence in litigation.\nWhat is the recommended lighting level for offices?\nThe CIBSE Code for Lighting recommends a maintained illuminance of 500 lux for general offices (e.g. writing, typing, reading, data processing, etc.) and for CAD work stations and conference/meetings rooms. Where the main task is less demanding, e.g. filing, a lower level of 300 lux is recommended.\nWhat is the 'safe' water storage temperature to avoid Legionnaires' disease?\nFor hot water storage, CIBSE TM13: Minimising the risk of Legionnaires' disease offers the following guidance: 'the storage temperature, controlled from a thermostat, should be 60 °C. The distribution pipework design should enable water to reach all outlets at 50 °C within 1 minute of turning on the tap. The risk of scalding is small for most persons at 50 °C but rises rapidly above 55 °C. Caution is needed to prevent higher temperatures at the tap, and warning notices should be posted at known problem areas.'\nWhere can I find Approved Document L2?\nBuilding Regulations Approved Documents can be downloaded free-of-charge from the Planning Portal website at http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/buildingregulations/approveddocuments/. The http://gov.uk website contains deatils of consultations of proposed revisions to approved documents. Printed copies may be purchased from The Stationery Office, now known as 'TSO'. Their main office is TSO, PO Box 29, Norwich NR3 1GN (fax orders: 0870 600 5533; telephone orders/enquiries: 0870 600 5522; e-mail orders: firstname.lastname@example.org). TSO also has an excellent website at www.tso.co.uk/bookshop\nWhy have the tables for simultaneous demand calculations disappeared from the CIBSE Guide?\nPrior to publication of CIBSE Guide G: Public health engineering, there were (at least) three different methods for simultaneous demand calculations. These were published in CIBSE Guide B4 (1986), the Institute of Plumbing's (Plumbing engineering services design guide) and BS 6700: Specification for design, installation, testing and maintenance of services supplying water for domestic use within buildings and their curtilages. Since the three methods gave different results, the decision was taken to withdraw the 'CIBSE method' and recommend the use of BS 6700 for simultaneous demand calculations.\nWhat is the latest version of BS xxxx?\nThe best way of checking the currency of a particular British Standard is through the BSI's excellent website at bsonline.techindex.co.uk\nWhat is a 'SAP' rating?\n'SAP' stands for 'Standard Assessment Procedure'. The SAP is the Government's recommended system for energy rating of dwellings. The Standard Assessment Procedure is used for calculating the SAP rating, on a scale from 1 to 120, based on the annual energy costs for space and water heating and for calculating the Carbon Index, on a scale of 0.0 to 10.0, based on the annual CO2emissions associated with space and water heating. The SAP rating is used to fulfil requirements of the Building Regulations to notify and display an energy rating in new dwellings. Full details are given in the SAP manual, which may be downloaded free-of-charge from projects.bre.co.uk/sap2001/\nWhat is the recommended ventilation rate for offices?\nFor offices where there is no smoking, CIBSE Guides A: \"Environmental Design\" (2006) recommends an outdoor air supply rate of 10 litres/second per person. Spaces in which smoking is permitted should be regarded as 'smoking rooms' and an outdoor air supply rate of 45 litres/s per person is suggested for such rooms. However, it should be noted that this recommendation aims only to reduce discomfort and does not ensure health protection.\nWhat is the status of CIBSE recommendations on hospital lighting?\nCIBSE Lighting Guide 2: Hospitals and health care buildings is available to buy in print or pdf format from the Knowledge Portal website (click here). A revised edition is in preparation; the timescale for publication will depend on the refereeing process. The general guidance in Lighting Guide 2 is still valid, but the illuminance and certain other recommendations have been superseded by information in BSEN 12464-1 Light and lighting. Lighting of work places. Part 1: Indoor work places (2002).\nWhat are the legal requirements for office lighting? Is there a legal requirement for daylight?\nThe only legal requirements are 'sufficient and suitable' and similar wording in health and safety legislation. There is no absolute legal requirement for daylight, but it is a requirement that it be provided if practicable. Various HSE guidance documents suggest good practice, but are not themselves mandatory.\nWhere can I obtain degree-day data?\nDegree-day data for the UK used to be published in the CIBSE journal and other magazines. This ended when the Department of Energy was wound-up some years ago. Some sources of degree-day data, though, may be found at:\nFor further reading, there is also a CIBSE publication TM41: Degree-Days Theory and Applicationwhich gives guidance on the use of degree-days and additional background theory.", "domain": "law"}

By taking proactive steps to create a comprehensive estate plan, you can have peace of mind knowing that your wishes will be carried out and your legacy will be preserved. In this blog, we will explore ten essential estate planning tips to help you navigate this important process and secure your financial future.\n1. Draft A Will:\nCreating a valid will is the cornerstone of any estate plan. A will allows you to designate how your assets will be distributed, appoint guardians for minor children, and specify your funeral and burial preferences. Consult with an estate planning attorney to ensure your will meets all legal requirements and accurately reflects your intentions.\n2. Establish A Trust:\nConsider setting up a trust to protect and manage your assets. Trusts offer advantages such as privacy, asset protection, and avoiding probate. They allow you to transfer assets to beneficiaries while maintaining control over how and when those assets are distributed.\n3. Designate Beneficiaries:\nReview and update beneficiary designations on life insurance policies, retirement accounts, and other financial accounts. Ensure your beneficiary designations align with your estate plan to avoid any conflicts or unintended consequences.\n4. Create A Power Of Attorney:\nAppoint a trusted individual as your power of attorney to handle financial and legal matters on your behalf if you become incapacitated. This person should have a thorough understanding of your wishes and be able to make informed decisions in your best interest.\n5. Appoint A Healthcare Proxy:\nSelect a healthcare proxy or agent who can make medical decisions for you if you are unable to do so. Discuss your preferences for medical treatment and end-of-life care with them, ensuring they understand and respect your wishes.\n6. Consider Long-Term Care Planning:\nLong-term care costs can deplete your assets rapidly. Explore long-term care insurance options to mitigate potential financial burdens and protect your estate. Consult with a financial advisor to determine the best approach based on your specific needs and circumstances.\n7. Review And Update Regularly:\nEstate planning is not a one-time event. Life circumstances change, so it’s essential to review and update your estate plan regularly. Major life events such as marriage, divorce, birth of a child, or significant changes in financial status should prompt a thorough review of your plan.\n8. Communicate Your Plan:\nDiscuss your estate plan with your loved ones to ensure everyone understands your intentions. This helps avoid potential disputes and ensures your wishes are carried out. Consider sharing relevant information about the location of important documents, passwords, and the contact information of your attorney or executor.\n9. Minimize Estate Taxes:\nExplore strategies to minimize estate taxes and maximize the amount of wealth transferred to your beneficiaries. Consult with an estate planning attorney or tax professional to explore options such as gifting, charitable contributions, or establishing a trust to achieve tax efficiency.\n10. Seek Professional Guidance:\nEstate planning can be complex, and the laws surrounding it are constantly evolving. Seek professional guidance from an experienced estate planning attorney who can help you navigate the legal complexities, ensure your plan is valid, and align with your specific goals and wishes.\nEstate planning is a crucial step in securing your financial future and protecting your loved ones. By following these 10-estate planning tips, you can create a comprehensive plan that reflects your intentions, minimizes potential conflicts, and maximizes the transfer of your assets to the next generation.

We urge the federal government to work in full support of the inherent rights and treaty rights of Mi’kmaq people to hunt, fish, and gather, as protected by Section 35 of the Canadian Constitution and as upheld by the Marshall Decision. This includes the right to a “moderate livelihood” fishery as well as to manage and prosecute that fishery with sui generis conservation and fisheries management protocols, protocols that do not inherently require endorsement or intervention by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans.\nTreaty rights are Canadian Law. Likewise, Canada is a signatory to the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, which protects human rights as well as numerous other rights to safety and self-determination. As such, the lack of swift federal response to the ongoing violence and intimidation toward the Mi’kmaw is thus in direct violation of Section 35 of the Canadian Constitution, which makes it the duty of Canadian provincial and federal governments to uphold and respect the inherent rights of Indigenous peoples.\nWe urge immediate attention to this matter, which is as much a matter of case law, constitutional law, and international law, as it is a matter of basic human decency.\nBoard of Directors, Canadian Association for Food Studies\nEditorial Collective, Canadian Food Studies\nRead the statement as a PDF here: http://cafs.landfood.ubc.ca/en/wp-content/uploads/CAFS_CFS-Statement-on-the-Sipeknekatik-Mi’kmaw-Moderate-Livelihood-Fishery.pdf\nLa déclaration est disponible en français ici: http://cafs.landfood.ubc.ca/en/wp-content/uploads/ACEA_RCEA-Declaration-sur-le-droit-de-peche-et-la-subsistance-convenable-du-peuple-Sipeknekatik-Mikmaw-1.pdf", "domain": "law"}

Enforcement action will be taken against any employer who fails to adequately to protect its workers.”\n“WHSQ recently conducted a compliance campaign involving an audit of 10 engineered stone bench-top manufacturers which uncovered disturbing and unsafe work practices, including dry cutting of stone, poor ventilation of work areas and a lack of personal protection equipment.”\nMs Grace said all workers in the industry, or those who have previously worked in the industry, should now undergo an urgent health screening.\n“WorkCover Queensland will fund the immediate health screening for workers, or former workers, who have been exposed to silica from engineered stone over an extended period of time.”\n“WHSQ will also immediately progress to the next stage of its state-wide compliance campaign, with 22 specially-trained inspectors on the ground from this week, auditing all remaining engineered stone bench-top makers across the state.

Law school curricula include various legal subjects and practical training.\nAfter graduating from law school, individuals must pass the bar examination in the jurisdiction where they intend to practice. The bar exam tests candidates’ knowledge of the law and their ability to apply legal principles to real-world scenarios.\nUpon passing the bar exam, candidates become licensed attorneys, allowing them to practice law and represent clients in legal matters.\nLawyers often engage in continuing legal education to stay updated on changes in laws and regulations and enhance their legal skills.\nRoles and Responsibilities\nLawyers fulfill diverse roles and responsibilities, including but not limited to:\nLawyers represent clients in various legal proceedings, such as trials, hearings, and negotiations. They act as advocates for their clients, ensuring their rights are protected and their interests are advanced.\nLawyers provide legal counsel to individuals, businesses, and organizations, offering guidance on legal matters, potential courses of action, and the implications of specific decisions.\nLawyers prepare and review legal documents, contracts, agreements, and other written materials to ensure their validity and compliance with the law.\nLawyers conduct extensive research on legal issues, statutes, and case law to build strong cases and support their arguments.\nMediation and Arbitration\nSome lawyers specialize in alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation and arbitration, to help parties reach mutually acceptable solutions without resorting to litigation.\nImportance of Lawyers\nThe role of lawyers is fundamental to the functioning of a just and fair legal system:\nAccess to Justice\nLawyers ensure that individuals and entities have access to legal representation and are able to exercise their rights and seek remedies for legal issues.\nAdvocacy for Justice\nLawyers play a pivotal role in advocating for justice, defending the rights of the vulnerable, and holding wrongdoers accountable.\nLawyers help individuals and businesses understand and comply with complex legal requirements, avoiding potential legal pitfalls.\nLawyers contribute to maintaining social order by resolving disputes through legal channels and upholding the rule of law.\nLawyers defend the rights and liberties of their clients, promoting a fair and equitable legal environment.\nIn conclusion, lawyers are indispensable pillars of the legal system, serving as advocates, advisors, and defenders of justice. Their expertise, dedication, and commitment to upholding the rule of law play a critical role in safeguarding the rights and interests of individuals and communities.\nWhether representing clients in courtrooms, providing legal counsel, or facilitating negotiations, lawyers are at the forefront of promoting justice and resolving legal disputes. Their work ensures that the legal system remains a cornerstone of a just and orderly society.", "domain": "law"}

These range from renovation of public buildings for energy efficiency, energy audits of homes and businesses, smart metering and better consumer information.\nThe directive supports the EU target of improving energy efficiency by 20% by the year 2020 (compared to 1990 levels).\nUnder the district heating guidelines, the directive agrees that:\n\"Member States would need to carry out and notify to the Commission by December 2015 a \"comprehensive assessment\" of the scope for applying high-efficiency cogeneration and efficient district heating and cooling.\"\nThis is further explained in the directive, where it states that Member States will need to carry out a full cost-benefit analysis based upon climate, economic feasibility and technical suitability. The cost-benefit analysis must facilitate the identification of the most efficient ways to meet heating and cooling requirements in that country.\nIt goes on to say that where the assessments identify situations where high efficiency district heating or CHP could be installed at a greater benefit than cost, Member States will need to put action plans in place to get those technologies installed.\nSimon Woodward, chairman of the UKDEA, commented, \"The EED gives further support and impetus for the development of more district heating in the UK. Recent research by the UKDEA demonstrates how extensive the potential for district energy is, and now this directive gives Local Authorities and the UK Government additional encouragement to do something about it.\"\nThe proposed directive would replace two existing pieces of legislation - the Energy Savings Directive (ESD), and the Cogeneration Directive. It aims to fill gaps where measures are lacking, improve the effectiveness of existing ones, and in doing so, to provide a boost to the economy.\nMEPs believe that energy efficiency can help drive the EU by reducing dependence on imports, creating jobs, freeing up financial resources, enhancing industrial competitiveness, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.\nNotes to Editors:\nThe partners, owners and operators of the largest district energy schemes in the UK have aligned themselves in the creation of the UK District Energy Association (UKDEA); with the aim of not only promoting district energy as a means to deliver significant carbon savings, but also to establish a direct link between the Government and the industry's small market base.\nThe Association is a not for profit, non-trade association of companies and public sector organisations involved or interested in district energy schemes of all sizes, from city wide schemes to smaller housing schemes. Still in its infancy, the UKDEA has attracted leading players in the industry, with the UKDEA's full members comprising of twelve major organisations:\n• Birmingham City Council • Cofely District Energy Limited\n• ENER-G Switch 2 Limited • Enviroenergy Limited\n• E.ON Energy Solutions Limited\n• Leicester City Council\n• Newcastle City Council\n• Newport City Homes Limited\n• Shetland Heat, Energy and Power Limited\n• Southampton City Council\n• Thameswey Limited\n• Veolia Environmental Services Limited\nTogether, these twelve organisations represent the: Birmingham, Leicester, Manchester, Milton Keynes, Newport, Newcastle, Nottingham, Sheffield, Shetland, Southampton and Woking District Energy schemes, together with a number of schemes in London including Olympic Park and Stratford City, Bloomsbury Heat & Power, Whitehall, Hatfield, Dalston Square, Greenwich Millennium Village, Barbican Arts Centre, Guildhall, Bastion House and London Central Markets.\nThe UKDEA also has 13 Associate Members sharing and contributing information to our district energy knowledge base.\nThe UKDEA welcomes new members. Be part of our district energy information sharing loop and apply for membership of this forward thinking Association today.\nUKDEA Key Facts:\nTogether the UKDEA members represent:\n• Over 125 MW of low carbon generation plant (CHP, biomass, EFW etc)\n• Supported by over 625 MW of conventional back up boiler plant\n• Delivering over 625,000,000 kWh of heat each year\n• Across energy networks which, if combined, would extend for more than 160 miles\nThrough Full and Associate membership, the UK District Energy Association’s aim is to represent current and potential owners, developers, consumers, partners, operators, product suppliers and interested parties of District Energy schemes throughout the UK.\nFor more information or membership details contact:\nChris Tanner Secretary & Administrator for the UKDEA\nThames Head Wharf, Tetbury Road, Cirencester, Gloucestershire, GL7 6NZ\nMobile: 07773 457941 Website: www.ukdea.org.uk", "domain": "law"}

Generally speaking, without these data, we would not be able to process your application.\n3. What sources and data does Lomapharm GmbH use?\nWe only process personal data that we receive from our applicants as part of the application process.\nThe personal data we process particularly include:\n- master and framework data (e.g. name, address, other contact details, date of birth),\n- information on education, training and previous employment,\n- information on general skills,\n- application documents (curriculum vitae, cover letter, references and certificates),\n- as well as other data that are similar to data in the specified categories.\n4. Purposes of the processing and legal basis\nWe process personal data in accordance with the provisions of the European General Data Protec-tion Regulation (GDPR) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz – BDSG) based on the following legal bases:\nTo fulfil contractual obligations (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR)\nThe personal data are processed as part of the application process for the purpose of the implementa-tion of pre-contractual measures taken at the applicant’s request.\n4.1 As part of the balancing of interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR)\nWhere necessary, we process personal data in a way that goes beyond the fulfilment of the contract itself in order to protect our legitimate interests.\nThis particularly includes the following activities and processes:\n- safeguarding the IT security and IT operations of our company,\n- the establishment of legal claims and defence in legal disputes (e.g. as part of the judicial review of alleged violations of the German General Act on Equal Treatment (Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz- AGG)),\n- identification of follow-up applications on the basis of your framework data (name, date of birth, email address and the name of the post for which you are applying),\n- checking against sanctions lists that go beyond what is prescribed by law but which are customary.\n4.2 On the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR)\nTo the extent that you have given consent to the processing of personal data for specific purposes, this processing of the data shall be lawful on the basis of your consent.\nConsent given to us can be withdrawn at any time. This also applies to the withdrawal of declara-tions of consent that were given before the GDPR came into effect. Please note that the withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.\nYou can withdraw consent that you have given us free of charge and informally via our contact data stated in point 1. If consent is withdrawn by phone, we ask that, if necessary, you provide additional proof of your identity using another means.\n4.3 On the basis of legal requirements (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR) or in the public interest (Art. 6(1)(e) GDPR)\nLike every company, Lomapharm GmbH is also subject to many legal obligations which make it neces-sary to process personal data. Examples of these include, for instance, obligations in relation to identi-fication in order to prevent money laundering, compliance with documentation obligations under taxa-tion and pharmaceutical law and checking against sanctions lists that are prescribed by law (e.g. check-ing payees when reimbursing the applicant’s travel expenses).\nTo what extent is there automated decision-making in individual cases?\nWe generally do not use any fully automated decision-making, as referred to in Article 22 GDPR, to process an application. If we implement this procedure in individual cases, you will be informed of this separately, insofar as this is legally required.\n5. Who will receive my data?\nWithin Lomapharm GmbH, the bodies and departments that receive your data are those which re-quire them to process your application.\nDisclosure to other recipients outside Lomapharm GmbH shall only take place if there is a legal basis for this (e.g. a legal obligation or consent).\n6. Are data transferred to companies in third countries or an international organisation?\nData are generally not transferred to bodies in states outside the European Union (so-called third countries) in the context of applications. If such a transfer is necessary in an individual case (e.g. because you are applying for a position outside the EU) we will inform you separately of the possi-ble risks of a data transfer and request your express permission.\n7.

The first step in completing an exchange is establishing a Qualified Intermediary (QI). You must do this before closing. It is essential to know the steps and responsibilities in completing 1031 exchanges.\nIt is safe to say that no two real estate transactions are the same. If you add a 1031 Exchange into the mix, it can get confusing. Below, we discuss who is responsible for ensuring the exchange’s success.\nHere is a list of the QI, Closing Agent, and Taxpayer’s responsibilities in the exchange process:\nMIDLAND 1031 (QI) RESPONSIBILITIES IN 1031 EXCHANGES\n- Prepares the necessary exchange documentation for the relinquished and replacement property.\n- Prepares 1031 exchange closing instructions for each transaction.\n- Coordinates with the closing agent/attorney on behalf of the 1031 exchange.\n- Escrows the exchange proceeds.\nCLOSING AGENT RESPONSIBILITIES\n- Provides the QI with a copy of the deed, Schedule A, and executed contract.\n- Prepares the closing settlement statement to reflect the QI’s instructions.\n- Sends the proceeds to the QI. Proceeds are not disbursed to the taxpayer unless arranged before closing.\n- Signs the Notice of Assignment of Contract provided by the QI. Provides a copy of the contract to the buyer of the relinquished property. Or, provides a copy to the seller of the replacement property.\n- Consults with a tax advisor, discussing the potential real estate sale tax liability.\n- Enlists the services of a QI before closing.\n- Reviews and signs all documentation for the exchange before the completion of closing.\nOften, sellers don’t realize that a 1031 exchange is an option and need a QI to facilitate the exchange. The title agent can step in and become the hero for the client! Title agents realize that once a client closes on the property, they missed the tax-saving 1031 exchange opportunity. The title agent also knows that a QI is required for this exchange. Title agents go the extra mile to refer their clients to Midland. Midland makes the 1031 exchange process quick and easy. We offer personalized service, security, and expertise for every client.\nFor questions or more information regarding 1031 exchanges, contact Midland 1031 today.

Price and Quantity. Products will be ordered by Buyer and shipped by Seller at prices and quantities as shown on the web site at time of purchase. Unless otherwise specified, prices do not include sales, use, services excise or other taxes of any kind, and Purchaser agrees to pay such taxes. Seller agrees to exercise commercially reasonable best efforts to supply Products to Buyer in a timely fashion. All prices shall be in United States dollars, unless otherwise specified.\n2. Product modifications. Buyer acknowledges that the manufacturer of Products sold under this Agreement may change Product specifications at any time for various reasons, such as to improve quality, comply with applicable law, or to adopt changes in materials or component sourcing.\n3.

All Products shall be sent in accordance with Seller's then current shipping policies, including, without limitation, the use of cartons bearing external art work or labels as designated by Seller. Risk of loss shall transfer from Seller to Buyer either at the point where Seller delivers the goods to a common carrier of its choice or at Seller's shipping dock.\n5. Delivery Dates. Seller endeavors to make shipments of orders as scheduled; however all shipment dates are approximate, and Seller reserves the right to readjust shipment schedules. If Seller suffers delay in performance or delivery due to any cause beyond its control, including acts of nature, acts or omissions of Purchaser, acts of government, fires, floods, strikes or other labor disturbances, war, riot, sabotage or delays in obtaining from others suitable services, materials, components, equipment or transportation, the time of performance or delivery shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period of the delay and its consequences. Seller will give to Purchaser notice in writing within a reasonable time after Seller becomes aware of any such delay.\n6. Order Cancellation. All orders subject to this Agreement are mutually understood by Seller and Purchaser to be firm, non-cancelable purchase orders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller may, in its sole discretion allow Purchaser to cancel an order upon Purchaser’s prior written notice and upon Purchaser’s payment of reasonable and proper termination charges, including, but not limited to all direct and indirect costs associated with the order incurred prior to the effective date of notice of termination and all charges incurred by Seller in respect to the termination.\n7. Order Modifications/Changes. Purchaser-requested order changes, including those affecting the identity, scope and delivery of the product(s) must be documented in writing and approved by an authorized representative of Seller, and Seller reserves the right to reject any change it deems inadvisable, inconsistent with its policies or incompatible with its capabilities. If any such change causes an increase or decrease in the cost of or the time required for performance of this order, an equitable adjustment shall be made in the order price or delivery schedule or both, and the order shall be modified in writing accordingly.\n8. Notices. Any notice given under this Agreement shall be in writing and sent via certified or registered mail or electronic facsimile to the contact information provided in this Agreement. Notice shall be deemed sent upon receipt or three days after mailing, whichever happens first.\n9. Claims. Purchaser's claims for lot shortages, correction of erroneous order charges or other errors must be made in writing and delivered to Seller within fifteen (15) days of Purchaser's receipt of the product(s). Claims outside of this time period will be disallowed.\n10. Returned Goods. If, upon formal inspection and/or testing of the product(s), Purchaser is of the opinion that the product(s) is defective or otherwise unacceptable, Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing. Any Products received by Buyer and held more than 15 days are returnable at the sole discretion of Seller. Prior to making any return to Seller, Purchaser must obtain a Return Authorization (“RA”) from a duly authorized representative of Seller. The following conditions also apply to returns: (1) all products returned to Seller must include the RA and must be properly packed and shipped; delivery of returns without the RA or returns not properly packed and/or shipped will not be accepted; (2) all returns are subject to inspection and/or testing by Seller as it deems appropriate. If Seller determines that the returned product(s) appears to be in compliance with order specifications, it shall notify Purchaser and Purchaser agrees to pay a 10% restocking fee for all returned Products which are not defective in the reasonable judgment of Seller; (3) all product(s) must be returned by delivery F.O.B. destination to Seller-specified locations.

Any product(s), which has been modified, altered, damaged or used by Purchaser, may not be returned.\n11. Limited Warranty. Unless otherwise provided in a third party warranty or licensing agreement, Seller warrants that at the time of shipment products shall be of marketable quality and free from defects in material and workmanship and shall be of the kind and quality designated or specified by Seller in writing. This warranty shall only apply to product defects reported in writing to Seller within ninety (90) days from the latter of the date of shipment or the date of the Seller invoice. This warranty is strictly limited and does not apply or extend to altered products(s) or damage caused by accident, the elements, abuse, misuse, temporary heat, overloading or by erosive or corrosive substances or the alien presence of contaminants in the product(s).\nEXCLUSIONS FROM WARRANTY: THE FOREGOING IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, ORAL OR EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ALL WARRANTIES THAT EXTEND BEYOND THE DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT(S). THERE ARE NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES OTHER THAN THOSE CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 11 AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW THERE ARE NO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 11 AS TO DURATION AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL BE THE SAME FOR BOTH IMPLIED WARRANTIES (IF ANY) AND EXPRESSED WARRANTIES. Satisfaction of this warranty is limited to: (a) the replacement of the product(s) by Seller; (b) repair or modification of the product(s) by Seller; or (c) issuance of a credit for the non-conforming product(s). The foregoing are the Purchaser's exclusive remedies and the extent of Seller's liability for breach of implied (if any) and express warranties, representations, instructions or defects from any cause in connection with the sale or use of the product(s). IN NO EVENT WILL SELLER BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND. SELLER’S MAXIMUM CUMULATIVE LIABILITY RELATIVE TO ALL OTHER CLAIMS AND LIABILITIES, INCLUDING THAT WITH RESPECT TO DIRECT DAMAGES AND OBLIGATIONS UNDER ANY INDEMNITY, WHETHER OR NOT INSURED, WILL NOT EXCEED THE COST OF THE PRODUCTS GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR LIABILITY, REGARDLESS OF ANY ADVICE OR RECOMMENDATION THAT MAY HAVE BEEN RENDERED CONCERNING THE PURCHASE OR USE OF THE PRODUCT(S). ANY ACTION AGAINST SELLER MUST BE BROUGHT WITHIN SIX MONTHS AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. THESE DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY WILL APPLY REGARDLESS OF ANY OTHER CONTRARY PROVISION OF THE AGREEMENT AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, AND FURTHER WILL EXTEND TO THE BENEFIT OF SELLER’S VENDORS AND OTHER AUTHORIZED RESELLERS AS THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES. EACH PROVISION IN THE AGREEMENT WHICH PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY OR CONDITION OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ANY OTHER PROVISION AND IS TO BE ENFORCED AS SUCH.\n12. Intellectual Property. Seller will defend any suit or proceeding brought against Purchaser based on a claim that the design or construction of the product(s) sold or licensed hereunder by Seller infringe any U.S. Patent, Copyright or Mask Work Registration, provided that Purchaser promptly notifies Seller of any such claim and resulting suit or proceeding in writing and further provided that, at Seller’s expense: (a) Purchaser gives Seller the sole right to defend or control the defense of the suit or proceeding, including settlement, and (b) Purchaser provides all necessary information and assistance for that defense. Except for any consequential damages, Seller will pay all costs and damages finally awarded or agreed upon by Seller that are directly related to any such claim. In the event of a charge of infringement Seller’s obligation under the Agreement will be fulfilled if Seller, at its option and expense, either: (i) procures for Purchaser the right to continue using such products; (ii) replaces the same with noninfringing products; (iii) modifies the same so as to make them noninfringing; or (iv) accepts the return of any infringing products and refunds their purchase price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller will have no liability with respect to any claim of infringement to the extent based on a configuration or modification incorporated in the products at the request of Purchaser, on any process application into which the products are integrated by Purchaser, or on use of the products in combination with other equipment or products not supplied by Seller. THIS PARAGRAPH SETS FORTH SELLER’S ENTIRE LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND INFRINGEMENT OF PATENTS BY ANY PRODUCTS (INCLUDING SOFTWARE PROGRAMS, EQUIPMENT OR PRODUCTS THEREOF) OR BY THEIR OPERATION, AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS RELATING TO INFRINGEMENT OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.\n13. Export. Product(s) purchased for export outside of the United States or its possessions are covered by the respective trade laws or other legal conditions specific to the country or possession in question so understood and agreed to by both parties. Purchaser shall be solely responsible for any permits, licenses, waivers or other requirements necessary to permit movement of any product outside of the United States.\n14. Resolution of Disputes. In the event of a dispute between Seller and Purchaser arising out of this Agreement, the parties shall meet and negotiate in good faith to attempt to resolve the dispute. In the event the dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days of the date one party notified the other party in writing of the dispute, and if any party wishes to pursue the dispute, it shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. In no event may arbitration be initiated more than one (1) year following the sending of written notice of the dispute. Any arbitration proceeding under this Agreement shall be conducted in Colorado in Jefferson County. The arbiters shall have no authority to award any punitive or exemplary damages, or to vary or ignore the terms of this Agreement, and shall be bound by controlling law.\n15. Governing Law. Seller does not assume any responsibility for compliance with any foreign or federal, state or local laws and regulations, except as expressly set forth herein, and compliance with any laws and regulations relating to the product(s) is the sole responsibility of the Purchaser. All laws and regulations expressly incorporated herein shall be those in effect as of the date hereof. In the event of any subsequent revisions or changes thereto, Seller assumes no responsibility for compliance therewith. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as imposing responsibility or liability upon Seller for the obtaining of any permits, licenses or approvals from any agency or governmental entity, foreign or domestic, which may be required in connection with the supply of the product(s). All sales and purchases of product(s) from Seller, including terms and conditions thereof, shall be governed by the laws now prevailing in the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.\n16. Warranty and Liability. ANY PRODUCTS SOLD BY SELLER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT ARE PROVIDED WITH A 90 DAY MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT WARRANTY. SELLER MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER BE LIABLE TO BUYER OR ANYONE ELSE FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS, USE, OR GOODWILL ON A CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHER LEGAL THEORY. SELLER'S LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE PURCHASE PRICE OF PRODUCTS SOLD.\n17. Miscellaneous. This Agreement, including attachments, constitutes the entire agreement between Buyer and Seller with respect to the subject matter contemplated herein, and supersedes all representations, whether express, implied, oral, or written. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Any waiver by either party of any right or remedy hereunder shall be effective only if it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative. No delay or omission by a party to exercise any right related to any breach or default of this Agreement will impair any such right or operate as a waiver. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall form one and the same instrument. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such determination shall not affect the remainder of this Agreement, and such remainder shall remain in full force and effect.\n18. Force Majeure. The Seller will not be liable for loss, damage or delay caused by strikes or labor difficulties, lockouts, acts or omissions of any governmental authority, insurrection, riot, war or similar hostility, fires, floods, Acts of God, breakdown of essential machinery, accidents, cargo or material shortages, delays in transportation, inability to obtain labor, materials or parts from usual sources or otherwise due to causes beyond the Seller's reasonable control.

Please print a copy of this agreement for your records.\n1.Enrollment in the Program\nTo begin the enrollment process, you must submit a complete Affiliate application via Paytory Checkout – our online business platform. Your application will be evaluated, in good faith, and we will notify you of your acceptance or rejection in a timely manner. Your application may be rejected if we determine (at our sole discretion) that your site is unsuitable as one of our Affiliates, for any reason, but not limited to the inclusion of content on your web site that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, defamatory, obscene, harassing, or racially, ethnically, or otherwise objectionable.\nIf we reject your application, you are welcome to reapply to as an Affiliate at any time.\nIf we accept your application and your site is, at a later date, determined (at our sole discretion) to be unsuitable as an Affiliate, we may terminate this Agreement.\n2. Promotion of our Relationship\nOnce you have been notified that your site has been accepted as a Paytory Affiliate, you may promote our products and services on your websites and social networks. We will provide you with guidelines, promotional material and graphical artwork to use in linking to either of these Home Pages.\nTo permit accurate tracking, reporting, and referral fee accrual, we will also provide you with a special linking format to be used in all links between your site and our sites. You must ensure that each of the links between your site and our site properly utilizes this special linking format. Links to our site placed on your site pursuant to this Agreement and which properly utilize the special linking format, are referred to as “special links.” You will only earn referral fees with respect to activity on our site occurring directly through these special links: we will not be liable to you with respect to any failure by you to use special links, including to the extent that such failure may result in any reduction of amounts that would otherwise be paid to you pursuant to this Agreement.\n3. Order Processing\nWe will process product orders placed by customers who follow special links from your site to our site. We reserve the right to reject orders that do not comply with any requirements that we periodically may establish. We will be responsible for all aspects of order processing and fulfillment. Among other things, we will prepare order forms; process payments, cancellations, and returns; and handle customer service. We will track sales made to customers who purchase products using special links from your site to our site and will make available to you reports summarizing this sales activity. The form, content, and frequency of the reports may vary from time to time at our discretion.\n4. Referral Fees\nWe will pay you referral fees on product sales to third parties. For a product sale to be eligible to earn a referral fee, the customer must follow a special link from your site to our site, select and purchase a product(s) using our automated ordering system, accept delivery of the product at the shipping destination, and remit full payment to us. We will not, however, pay referral fees on any products that are added to a customer’s Shopping Cart after the customer has reentered our site (other than through a special link), even if the customer previously followed a link from your site to our site. The Affiliate Program is intended for commercial use only, and you may not purchase products through the Program for your own use. Such purchases may result (at our sole discretion) in the withholding of referral fees or the termination of this Agreement. Products that are eligible to earn referral fees under the rules set forth above are referred to as “qualifying products.\n5. Referral Fee Schedule\nYou will earn referral fees based on qualifying revenues according to referral fee schedules to be established by us. “Qualifying revenues” are revenues derived by us from our net sales of qualifying products, excluding costs for shipping, handling, taxes, service charges, credit card processing fees, and bad debt.\n6. Referral Fee Payment\nWe will pay you referral fees on a monthly basis via PayPal. Within 3rd week of each month we will by sending PayPal payments of your commissions, less any taxes that we are required by law to withhold. If a product that generated a referral fee is returned by the customer, we will deduct the corresponding referral fee from your next quarterly payment. If there is no subsequent payment, we will send you a bill for the referral fee.\n7. Report of Sales\nYou will be given an access to your affiliate account at Paytory Checkout to receive your sales statistics on a daily basis.\n8. Policies and Pricing\nCustomers who buy products through this Affiliate Program will be deemed to be customers of Paytory Inc. Accordingly, all Paytory Inc. rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning customer orders, customer service, and product sales will apply to those customers. We may change our policies and operating procedures at any time. We will use every reasonable effort to present accurate information, but we cannot guarantee the availability or price of any particular product.\n9. Limited License\nWe grant you a nonexclusive, revocable right to use all the promotional materials solely for the purpose of identifying your site as an Affiliate Program participant and to assist in generating product sales. You may not modify the graphic image or text, or any other of our images, in any way. We reserve all of our rights in the graphic image and text, any other images, our trade names and trademarks, and all other intellectual property rights. We may revoke your license at any time by giving you written notice.\n10. Responsibility for Your Site\nYou will be solely responsible for the development, operation, and maintenance of your site and for all materials that appear on your site. As an example, you will be solely responsible for the technical operation of your site and all related equipment; the accuracy and appropriateness of materials posted on your site; ensuring that materials posted on your site do not violate or infringe upon the rights of any third party (including, for example, copyrights, trademarks, privacy, or other personal or proprietary rights); and, ensuring that materials posted on your site are not libelous or otherwise illegal.\nWe disclaim all liability for these matters. Further, you will indemnify and hold us harmless from all claims, damages, and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) relating to the development, operation, maintenance, and contents of your site.\n11. Term of the Agreement\nThe term of this Agreement will begin upon our acceptance of your Paytory Affiliate application and will end when terminated by either party. Either you or we may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, by giving the other party written notice of termination. Upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason, you will immediately cease use of, and remove from your site, all links to our site, and all Paytory Inc. trademarks, trade dress and logos, and all other materials provided by or on behalf of us to you pursuant hereto or in connection with the Program. You are only eligible to earn referral fees on our sales of qualifying products occurring during the term, and referral fees earned through the date of termination will remain payable only if the related orders are not canceled or returned. We may withhold your final payment for a reasonable time to ensure that the correct amount is paid.\nWe may modify any of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, at any time and at our sole discretion, by posting a change notice on our web site, emailing you such a notice, or, posting a new agreement on our site. Modifications may include, for example, changes in the scope of available referral fees, referral fee schedules, payment procedures, and Program rules. If any modification is unacceptable to you, your only recourse is to terminate this agreement. Your continued participation in the program following our posting of a change notice or the posting of a new agreement on our site will constitute binding acceptance of the change.\n13. Relationship of Parties\nYou and we are independent contractors, and nothing in this Agreement will create any partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, sales representative, or employment relationship between the parties. You will have no authority to make or accept any offers or representations on our behalf. You will not make any statement, whether on your site or otherwise, that reasonably would contradict anything in this Section.\n14. Limitation of Liability\nWe will not be liable for indirect, special, or consequential damages (or any loss of revenue, profits, or data) arising in connection with this Agreement or the Program, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Further, our aggregate liability arising with respect to this Agreement and the Program will not exceed the total referral fees paid or payable to you under this Agreement.\nWe make no express or implied warranties or representations with respect to the Program or any products sold through the Paytory Affiliate Program (including, without limitation, warranties of fitness, merchantability, noninfringement, or any implied warranties arising out of a course of performance, dealing, or trade usage). In addition, we make no representation that the operation of our site will be uninterrupted or error-free, and we will not be liable for the consequences of any interruptions or errors.\n16. Independent Investigation\nYou acknowledge that you have read this agreement and agree to all its terms and conditions. You understand that we may at any time (directly or indirectly) solicit customer referrals on terms that may differ from those contained in this agreement or operate web sites that are similar to or compete with your web site. You have independently evaluated the desirability of participating in the program and are not relying on any representation, guarantee, or statement other than as set forth in this agreement.\nThis Agreement will be governed by the laws of the United States and the state of Massachusetts, without reference to rules governing choice of laws. Any action relating to this Agreement must be brought in the federal or state courts located in Massachusetts, and you irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of such courts. You may not assign this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. Subject to that restriction, this Agreement will be binding on, inure to the benefit of, and enforceable against the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Our failure to enforce your strict performance of any provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of our right to subsequently enforce such provision or any other provision of this Agreement.", "domain": "law"}

Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, an obligation to provide evidence in a procedure under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).\n9. Legal basis for processingArticle 6 (1) a GDPR serves AGRA Immobilien as the legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the party concerned is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, the processing is based on Art 6 Para. 1 b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our company were injured and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 Para. 1 d GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 Para. 1 f GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh them. Such processing operations are permitted in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the legislator (recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).\n10. Legitimate interests in the processing that are being pursued by the controller or a third partyIf the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 Paragraph 1 f GDPR, our legitimate interest is to carry out our business activities in favor of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.\n11. Duration for which the personal data are storedThe criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective legal retention period. After the period has expired, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required to fulfill or initiate a contract.\n12. Legal or contractual regulations for the provision of personal dataWe will inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information about the contract partner). Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that a data subject provides us with personal data that we subsequently have to process. To conclude a contract, the person concerned is obliged to provide us with personal data. If the person concerned does not provide their personal data, no contract can be concluded with the person concerned. Before the data subject provides personal data, the data subject can contact our data protection officer. Our data protection officer clarifies the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract or is required for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences of not providing the personal data.\n13.

It is particularly applicable to you if you are 55 years old or severely disabled.\nProposition 5 grants a property tax break to senior citizens and disabled persons, allowing the transfer of their property tax to a replacement property of equal or lesser value as defined in the county where the property is located.\nThis is one of the more intriguing experiments in state property-tax law since Proposition 13 was passed 40 years ago. Prop 13 limited local property taxes to 1 percent of the purchase price – or the 1975 assessed value – while capping subsequent increases at 2 percent annually.\nIn addition, Prop 13 requires a two-thirds majority for legislative approval of new state taxes as well as two-third voter approval for new local taxes. It’s a well-liked law for a simple reason: it allows homeowners to enjoy predictable expenditures. Moreover, your home’s increased value will not force you out. Instead, you move when you choose.\nLet’s go back to Prop 5 for the minute. Many California homeowners don’t want to move because it means forfeiting their ultra-low property tax rate under Prop 13. However, should Prop 5 pass, homeowners aged 55 or more ould be allowed to transfer their existing property tax rate to a new home.\nThis is a total game-changer to many California homeowners – and was proposed by the California Association of Realtors. The point: encouraging older homeowners living in empty homes too large for their needs to move on without worrying about losing their tax benefits.\n“Proposition 5 would amend Proposition 13 (1978) to allow homebuyers who are age 55 or older or severely disabled to transfer the tax-assessed value for their prior home to their new home, no matter (a) the new home’s market value; (b) the new home’s location in the state; or (c) the number of moves,” the Ballotpediaassessment of the proposition reads. “As of 2018, homebuyers over 55 years of age were eligible to transfer their tax assessments from their prior home to their new home if the new home’s market value is equal to or less than the prior home’s value and once in their lifetimes. Furthermore, counties, not the state, decide whether tax assessments can be transferred across county lines.”\nIn the likely event that the new home is differently valued than the old home, Prop 5 would allow for an adjustment between those amounts. “If the new home has a higher market value than the prior home, the assessed value would be adjusted upward,” Ballotpedia reports. “If the new home has a lower market value than the prior home, the assessed value would be adjusted downward.”\nNeed more information?

It becomes government that happens to you, instead of government working for you. This abuse of the public’s trust impacts everything government touches — from our schools to our roads, water, and economy. Selling out this basic democratic principle has led to unjust, even fatal, consequences. Look no further than the 48,000 workers who were falsely accused of fraud by the state, the Flint water crisis, the privatization that led to tragedy at the Grand Rapids Home for Veterans, or children in Detroit who had to sue the governor for the right to literacy in our schools.\nMichigan is ranked as one of the worst offenders for corruption by special interests and dark money. Government works best when elected officials are accountable to the people who elect them – not the people who bankroll their campaigns, and not their buddies.\nI’m no stranger to cleaning up government. When the Ingham County Prosecutor’s Office was mired in scandal, the circuit judges unanimously chose me to step in to reform the office and reestablish public trust. I implemented tougher ethics standards, just like we need statewide.\nNow we need fundamental reforms to restore public trust, including:\nExpanding freedom of information laws to include official email, correspondence, and the calendar of the Governor, because citizens shouldn’t have to file lawsuits to see what their government is up to. The Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and entire executive branch engaged in a conspiracy of silence during the Flint water crisis and the public didn’t have the tools to find out what they were hiding. Too many laws over the past seven years were negotiated by just a few legislators and power brokers behind closed doors.\nStricter lobbying rules because the sad truth is that lobbyists write legislation and dictate how too many members vote. We can limit that influence by stopping the revolving door that lets term-limited members cash in as lobbyists.\nReal campaign finance reform and increased transparency to reform our system, because we’ve seen what happens when we allow millionaires to marshal fortunes to get themselves elected or sway an election for their own personal interests. It’s an affront to democracy and it has to stop.\nReturn power to local governments so their democratically elected offices can make decisions based on what their unique communities need. I fought against the emergency manager law — voting against it twice as a legislator, and once as a citizen. I will work to replace state emergency management with meaningful investment, support, and assistance and make sure that our public officials are putting the people of Michigan ahead of the bottom line. And I will veto any legislation that uses loopholes to cut the people out of the democratic process.\nEnd gerrymandering so that the people choose their representatives, not the other way around. Before the next governor and the legislature sit down to redraw legislative districts we need to reform our election laws to prohibit the kind of gerrymandering that lets lawmakers create districts based on partisan interests instead of community interests.\nTogether, we will take on the tough fights and demand action in Lansing. I’m ready to work with anyone who wants to solve problems, and I’m not afraid to challenge both parties to do what’s right.\nBack to Issues", "domain": "law"}

They are essential for resolving conflicts, addressing misconduct, and ensuring that employees are treated fairly. In this article, we will explore the intricacies of workplace investigations, understanding their purpose, the investigation process, the principles of fairness, legal considerations, common challenges, and the steps to follow after an investigation is concluded.\nUnderstanding Workplace Investigations\nWorkplace investigations are systematic processes used to gather and evaluate information regarding alleged workplace issues. These issues can range from harassment and discrimination claims to allegations of theft or ethical misconduct. The primary goal of an investigation is to uncover the truth and make informed decisions based on the evidence gathered.\nThe Investigation Process\nA successful workplace investigation begins with a well-documented initial report. Once a report is filed, an investigator or a team is designated to handle the case. They are responsible for gathering evidence, interviewing relevant parties, and maintaining strict confidentiality throughout the process.\nInterviewing techniques play a crucial role in the investigation process. Interviewers must be skilled at asking open-ended questions, actively listening, and remaining neutral to obtain accurate information. It’s also essential to document all interviews and evidence meticulously.\nKey Principles of Fairness\nFairness is the cornerstone of any workplace investigation. Several key principles ensure that the process is just and equitable:\n1. Impartiality and Neutrality: Investigators must approach the case with an unbiased mindset, free from personal biases or conflicts of interest.\n2. Presumption of Innocence: Every individual involved in the investigation, whether an accuser or accused, should be presumed innocent until proven otherwise.\n3. Timeliness and Efficiency: Investigations should be conducted promptly to minimize disruptions and prevent the escalation of issues.\n4. Due Process and Employee Rights: Employees involved in investigations have the right to know the allegations against them and have an opportunity to present their side of the story.\nWorkplace investigations must operate within the bounds of employment laws and regulations. Human Resources and legal counsel often play vital roles in ensuring compliance with these laws. Investigations must also adhere to the requirements of government agencies like the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).\nCommon Challenges and Pitfalls\nWorkplace investigations are not without challenges. Bias, conflicts of interest, and the handling of sensitive or high-profile cases can pose difficulties. Balancing employee privacy rights with the need for a thorough investigation is also a common challenge.\nReporting and Decision-Making\nAfter gathering evidence and conducting interviews, investigators formulate their findings and conclusions. Recommendations for corrective actions are made based on these findings. All of this information is then documented in a comprehensive investigation report. The report serves as a critical document for stakeholders, including management, HR, and legal counsel.\nOnce the investigation is concluded, there are important steps to take. Effective communication with the parties involved is essential to inform them of the outcomes. It’s also crucial to prevent retaliation against those who have filed complaints or participated in the investigation.\nMonitoring and follow-up are necessary to ensure that any recommended actions are implemented and that the workplace environment improves. This includes measures to prevent future occurrences of the issues investigated.\nWorkplace investigations are a fundamental tool for maintaining fairness, transparency, and trust within organizations. They are not without challenges, but by adhering to the principles of fairness, legal requirements, and a systematic process, organizations can navigate workplace investigations effectively. As workplace dynamics continue to evolve, the importance of conducting thorough and fair investigations cannot be overstated. By doing so, organizations can uncover the truth, address issues, and create a workplace that fosters productivity, employee well-being, and long-term success.", "domain": "law"}

The League shall be called the Northumbria Chess League.\n2. The Laws of Chess as published by the English Chess Federation shall govern play in all League matches except as varied in these rules.\n3. The League shall be managed by the League Conductor. Any dispute between Clubs as to the interpretation of these rules or concerning any matter not provided for by these rules shall be decided by the League Conductor whose decision shall be final. Any dispute between Clubs as to the interpretation of the Laws of Chess shall be decided in the first instance by the League Conductor, but may be appealed to the Executive Committee who shall collectively act as competition arbiter.\n4. The composition of the League and the number of divisions is the responsibility of the League Conductor acting where necessary on the advice of the League Meeting and the Executive Committee.\n5. Clubs affiliated to the Northumberland Chess Association may enter one or more teams in the League. Teams shall be entered in the name of the Club and if a Club enters more than one team they shall be distinguished in their title.\n6. There shall be a League Meeting shortly before the start of the season. At the Meeting teams may be entered in the League. The appropriate annual subscription shall be paid at or before the Meeting. Any team whose subscription has not been paid shall be excluded from the fixture lists. The meeting shall be advised of the composition of the league and the general structure of fixtures agreed.\n7. For the purposes of Rule 8 below, teams in the same division may be ranked in order of strength by their Club. Where the ranking order of teams within a Club, or any subset thereof, is not apparent from their titles, the Club shall have the option to indicate their ranking order to the League Meeting. Should the Club decline to do so, the teams in question shall be considered to be of equal rank. Clubs may also choose to indicate to the League Meeting that two or more teams whose ranking order is implied by their titles, for example an A and B team, are in fact to be ranked equally or in some other order.\nThe ranking structure decided upon by each Club shall be published along with that Club’s details in the League Handbook.\n8. (a) A player who has played at least one game, or claimed a win by default, for a Club, shall be ineligible to play for another Club in the same season.\n(b) If a player plays on Board 1 or 2 of any team, or more than once on Board 3 of any team, he or she shall be ineligible to play for any lower or equal-ranked team in the same season. In addition, any player playing on Board 1 or 2 of any team in the first match of the season shall not have already played any games for lower or equal-ranked teams in that season. The League Conductor reserves the right to apply part (e) of this rule retrospectively to any such games played.\n(c) A player may apply to the League Conductor for permission to transfer permanently to a lower-ranked or equal-ranked team at any stage of the season. The player concerned will then be ineligible to play for their original team.\n(d) A player who is a late substitute for an unexpectedly absent team member shall for the purposes of eligibility be deemed to have played on Board 4 or 5 irrespective of the actual board on which the vacancy occurred. For this rule to be implemented:\n(i) The League Conductor must be notified of the circumstances.\n(ii) The name of the absent player must have been originally declared to the opposing Captain before the start of the match, and the substitution not made until after the clocks had been started.\n(iii) The League Conductor must be satisfied that the absent player is a bona fide member of the team concerned.\n(iv) The substitute must not have been involved in the implementation of this rule on a previous occasion in the same season.\n(e) If a player plays on a team for which he or she is ineligible under any part of this rule, the score of that player’s team shall be reduced, and the score of their opponents increased, by the following amounts:\nIf the ineligible player appeared on board 1, 2½ points.\n” ” board 2, 2 points.\n” ” board 3, 1½ points.\n” ” board 4, 1 point.\nIf the ineligible player appeared on board 5, his or her game shall be counted as a loss whatever the actual result and no further penalty shall be incurred.\nAny alteration is subject to a maximum winning score of 5-0.\n9. The minimum number of boards in any match shall be five. Any number in excess of five must be agreed previously by both clubs concerned.\n10. Matches should normally be arranged to last for a single session of three hours, starting at the time specified by the home team, unless both captains agree otherwise. The default time control will be 1½ hours per player for the game. If less than three hours is available, the recommended time control is 1¼ hours per player. Where enough digital clocks are available, a time control of 1¼ hours per player plus 10 seconds per move may be used. The ECF Quickplay Finish Rules (including those covering matches where no arbiter is present) shall operate.\nAt or before the League Meeting, the League Conductor must be told of the time when each team will start its home fixtures and this information will be included in the League Handbook. Regular starting times must be within the range 6.45pm to 7.30pm unless specifically sanctioned by the League Meeting.\n11. (a) Before the start of a match each captain shall make a list of their team and hand it to the opposing captain. The exchange of team lists shall take place simultaneously.\n(b) If a player A is listed on a lower board than a player B, while A’s grade is more than 15 points higher than B’s, player A’s game shall be lost by default. Captains are free to arrange their teams in any order they wish subject to this rule, and may change the order from match to match.\n(c) The visiting team shall have White on the odd numbered boards.\nThe grading list used for the purposes of 11(b) shall be the edition released immediately prior to the start of the league season. Any grading list released during the season shall be ignored.\n12. A game shall be declared won by default by a player whose opponent does not appear at the board within half an hour of the start of the match. If it is known that a team will be incomplete the lowest boards should be defaulted.\n13. Any player whose electronic communication device emits a sound, or vibrates, more than once during a game, shall lose their game by default. After the first such incident, it is the responsibility of the team captain to request that their player switch the device off. Players must not receive material assistance in their game through such means, and any player suspected of doing so may be reported to the League Conductor by the opposing team even if under this rule they are allowed to continue with the game.\n14. Both team captains shall report to the League Conductor within 7 days of the date on which the match was played the result of the match, the names of the players and the scores in all games.\n15. A won match shall count 2 points and a drawn match 1 point, except where stated in the notes accompanying the fixture list in this Handbook. The team obtaining the greatest number of points during any season in Division 1 shall be the League Champions. Similarly teams achieving the highest points scores in other divisions shall be the Champions of those divisions.\n16. A team that fails to turn up for an appointed match without due notice to the opposing team shall have 2 points deducted from their Match Point total.\n17. The team who at the end of the season has scored the least number of points in Division 1 shall be relegated to Division 2 and the three teams occupying the top three places in Division 2 shall be offered promotion to Division 1. The two teams who at the end of the season have scored the least number of points in Division 2 shall be relegated to Division 3 and the two teams occupying the top two places in Division 3 shall be promoted to Division 2. Where a division is incomplete due to the withdrawal or promotion of a team, an extra team may be promoted or introduced. Teams in relegation positions shall be relegated automatically unless there is no other reasonable way of filling a vacancy in that division.\n18. Ties for all places in the League shall be decided in favour of the team with the largest value of game points, only the first five boards of every match being counted. In the event of two or more teams finishing tied on both match points and game points and the division championship or qualification for promotion or relegation being in doubt, the League Conductor shall arrange play-offs as necessary.\n19. All matches must be completed by the end of April.", "domain": "law"}

The following are answers to commonly asked questions about Advance Directives:\nWhat is an Advance Health Care Directive?\nAn Advance Health Care Directive (AHCD) is the best way to make sure that your healthcare wishes are known and considered if for any reason you are unable to speak for yourself. Completing a form called an Advance Health Care Directive allows you, under California law, to do either or both of two things:\nFirst, you may appoint another person to be your healthcare agent. This person (who may also be know as your attorney-in-fact) will have legal authority to make decisions about your medical care if you become unable to make these decisions for yourself.\nSecond, you may write down your healthcare wishes in the AHCD form – for example, a desire not to receive treatment that only prolongs the dying process if you are terminally ill. Your doctor and your agent must follow your lawful instructions.\nIs an Advance Health Care Directive different from a living will?\nThe AHCD is now the legally recognized format for a living will in California. It replaces the Natural Death Act Declaration. The AHCD allows you to do more than the traditional living will, which only states your desire not to receive life-sustaining treatment if you are terminally ill or permanently unconscious. An AHCD allows you to state your wishes about refusing or accepting life-sustaining treatment in any situation.\nUnlike a living will, an AHCD also can be used to state your desire about healthcare in any situation in which you are unable to make your own decisions, not just when you are in a coma or are terminally ill. In addition, an AHCD allows you to appoint someone you trust to speak for you when you are incapacitated.\nYou do not need a separate living will if you have already stated your wishes about life-sustaining treatment in an AHCD.\nIs an Advance Health Care Directive different from a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care?\nThe AHCD has replaced the Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care as the legally recognized document for appointing a healthcare agent in California. The AHCD allows you to do more than a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care. An AHCD permits you not only to appoint an agent, but also to give instructions about your own healthcare. You can now do either or both of these things.\nWhat if I have already executed a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care or a Natural Death Act Declaration. Is it still valid? Do I have to complete a new Advance Health Care Directive?\nAll valid Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care and Natural Death Act Declarations remain valid. Thus, unless your existing Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care has expired, you do not have to complete a new AHCD. A Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care executed before 1992 has expired and should be replaced. Because the new AHCD gives you more flexibility to state your healthcare desires, you may wish to complete the new form even if you previously completed a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care or Natural Death Act Declaration. At a minimum, you should review your existing Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care or Natural Death Act Declaration to make sure it has not expired and that it still accurately reflects your wishes.\nWho can complete an Advance Health Care Directive?\nAny California resident who is at least 18 years old (or is an emancipated minor), of sound mind, and acting of his or her own free will can complete a valid AHCD.\nDo I need a lawyer to complete an Advance Health Care Directive?\nNo. You do not need a lawyer to assist you in completing an AHCD form. The only exception applies to individuals who have been involuntarily committed to a mental health facility who wish to appoint their conservator as their agent.\nWho may I appoint as my healthcare agent?\nYou can appoint almost any adult to be your agent. You can choose a member of your family, such as your spouse or an adult child, a friend, or someone else you trust. You can also appoint one or more alternate agents in case the person you select as your healthcare agent is unavailable or unwilling to make a decision. (If you appoint your spouse and later get divorced, the AHCD remains valid, but your first alternate agent will become your agent.)\nIt is important that you talk to the people you plan to appoint to make sure they understand your wishes and agree to accept this responsibility. Your healthcare agent will be immune from liability as long as he or she acts in good faith.\nThe law prohibits you from choosing certain people to act as your agent(s). You may not choose your doctor, or a person who operates a community care facility (sometimes called a board and care home) or a residential care facility in which you receive care. The law also prohibits you from appointing a person who works for the health facility in which you are being treated, or the community care or residential care facility in which you receive care, unless that person is related to you by blood, marriage or adoption, or is a co-worker.\nCan I appoint more than one person to share the responsibility of being my healthcare agent?\nIt is recommended that you name only one person as your healthcare agent. If two or more people are given equal authority and they disagree about a healthcare decision, one of the important purposes of the AHCD – to identify clearly who has authority to speak for you – will be defeated. If you are afraid of offending people close to you by choosing one over another to be your agent, ask them to decide among themselves who will be the agent, and list the others as alternate agents.\nI want to provide more specific healthcare instructions than those included on this form. How do I do that?\nYou may write detailed instructions for your healthcare agent and physician(s). To do so, simply attach one or more sheets of paper to the form, write your instructions, write the number of pages you are attaching, and sign and date the attachments at the same time you have the form witnessed or notarized. More specific instructions are available at the California Medical Associations website at http://www.cmanet.org.\nHow much authority will my healthcare agent have?\nIf you become unable to make your own health care decisions, your agent will have legal authority to speak for you in healthcare matters. Physicians and other healthcare professionals will look to your agent for decisions rather than to your next of kin or any other person. Your agent will be able to accept or refuse medical treatment, have access to your medical records, and make decisions about donating your organs, authorizing an autopsy, and disposing of your body should you die.\nIf you do not want your agent to have certain of these powers or to make a certain decision, you can write a statement in the AHCD form limiting your agent’s authority. In addition, the law says that your agent cannot authorize convulsive treatment (i.e., electroconvulsive therapy or ECT), psychosurgery, sterilization, abortion, or placement in a mental health treatment facility.\nThe person you appoint as your agent has no authority to make decisions for you until you are unable to make those decisions yourself, unless you choose to allow your agent to make those decisions for you immediately.\nWhen you become incapacitated, your agent must make decisions that are consistent with any instructions you have written in the AHCD form or made known in other ways, such as by telling family members, friends or your doctor. If you have not made your wishes known, your agent must decide what is in your best interests, considering your personal values to the extent they are known.\nWhat should I tell my family, my healthcare agent, and my doctors?\nOne of the most important parts of completing an AHCD is the conversations you have about it with your loved ones and your physicians. You should talk about: your personal values and what makes living meaningful to you, including your current medical condition and decisions you may foresee in the future, specific concerns or wishes you may have regarding life support or aggressive interventions, hospice or long-term care; what concerns you most about death or dying; and how you would want to spend the last month of your life. It is recommended, although not always possible, that such a discussion include both your physician(s), and your healthcare agent (and alternate agent(s)).\nTell your loved ones that you have completed an AHCD and what you have said in it, especially if you have selected a healthcare agent. Your AHCD will likely go into effect during a period of crisis for them. It can help ease their burden to know that you have made some of these decisions in advance. In addition, they should know in advance who is to speak for you in making medical decisions and where copies of your AHCD can be found. Remind them that their role is to make sure that your wishes are communicated and that those wishes guide their decision-making.\nWill my healthcare agent be responsible for my medical bills?\nNo, not unless that person would otherwise be responsible for your debts. The AHCD deals only with medical decision-making and has no effect on financial responsibility for your healthcare. Please note, however, that unless you have made other arrangements, your agent may be responsible for costs related to the disposition of your body after you die. Consult an attorney regarding how your financial affairs should best be handled.\nFor how long is an Advance Health Care Directive valid?\nAn AHCD is valid forever, unless you revoke it or state in the form a specific date on which you want it to expire.\nWhat should I do with the Advance Health Care Directive form after I fill it out?\nMake sure that the form has been properly signed, dated, and either notarized or witnessed by two qualified individuals. (The form includes instructions about who can and cannot be a witness). Keep the original in a safe place where your loved ones can find it quickly. Give copies of the completed form to the people you have appointed as your agent and alternate agent(s), to your doctor(s) and health plan, and to family members or anyone else who is likely to be called if there is a medical emergency. You should tell these people to present a copy of the form at the request of your healthcare providers or emergency medical personnel.\nTake a copy of the form with you if you are going to be admitted to a hospital, nursing home or other healthcare facility. Copies of the completed form can be relied upon by your agent and doctors as though they were the original.\nWhat if I change my mind after completing an Advance Health Care Directive?\nYou can revoke or change an AHCD at any time. To revoke the entire form, including the appointment of your agent, you must inform your treating healthcare provider personally or in writing. Completing a new AHCD will revoke all previous directives. In addition, if you revoke or change your directive, you should notify every person or facility that has a copy of your prior directive and provide them with a new one.\nYou should complete a new form if you want to name a different person as your agent or make other changes. However, if you need only to update the address or telephone numbers of your agent, or alternate agent(s), you may write in the new information and initial and date the change. Of course, you should make copies or otherwise ensure that those who need this new contact information will have it. You should make a list of the people and institutions to whom you give a copy of the form so you will know whom to contact if you revoke the AHCD, update contact information or make a new one.\nI have reached a point in my life that I don’t want the paramedics to give me CPR. Will this Advance Health Care Directive keep this from happening?\nIf the paramedics see your AHCD before they start resuscitative efforts, and the AHCD clearly instructs them not to start these efforts, they probably will not start resuscitation. The best approach is to complete the Prehospital Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) form and obtain a Do Not Resuscitate EMS medallion approved by California’s Emergency Medical Services Authority. You may order copies of the DNR form (which includes instructions on ordering the medallion) from CMA publications. See http://www.cmanet.org for more information.\nIs my Advance Health Care Directive valid in other states?\nAn AHCD that meets the requirements of California law may or may not be honored in other states, but most states will recognize an AHCD that is executed legally in another state. If you spend a lot of time in another state, you may want to consult a doctor, lawyer, or the medical society in that state to find out about the laws there.\nCan anyone force me to sign an Advance Health Care Directive?\nNo. The law specifically says that no one can require you to complete an Advance Health Care Directive before admitting you to a hospital or other healthcare facility, and no one can deny you health insurance because you choose not to complete an AHCD.\nWhere can I get more information about the Advance Health Care Directive?\nYour doctor probably can provide you with more information. However, you should talk to a lawyer if you want legal advice.\nFor more information about end-of-life medical decisions, go to http://www.finalchoices.calhealth.org, the website for the California Coalition for Compassionate Care.\nThe booklet Finding Your Way is a useful guide to thinking about and discussing these issues.

The quotas, however, have been greeted with equal degrees of optimism and criticism from diversity campaign groups. So whilst British banks could be the first businesses in the UK to have such equality measures imposed upon them, should the rest of British industry be welcoming or rejecting these quotas?\nWomen’s equality has come a long way since the days of the suffragettes. The number of female CEOs of major companies is increasing year on year and more women are being invited to join the boards of prominent companies – a prime example being the appointment of Sheryl Sandberg to the board of Facebook, one of the fastest growing and most important companies of recent times. Additionally, albeit slightly into the future, 2016 is hotly tipped to be the first time a woman, Hilary Clinton, is in serious contention for the Presidency of the United States.\nGiven these advances, you could argue that imposing quotas is a draconian and backwards step away from women’s equality. When promotions and hiring decisions need to satisfy a gender requirement, such quotas may actually diminish the true potential for promotions to be awarded on ability. If men lose out to female counterparts because they aren’t of the right gender, how is this any more equal? Worse still, such inequality can also undermine the authority of women in senior positions. How can employees be confident in the abilities of their female managers when they are given cause to wonder whether a woman received her job on the basis of a gender quota?\nSilverDoor takes pride in its diversity. 10 out of the 22 members of senior management are women – all of whom are in their roles due to merit and not some gender tick box. Nevertheless we do try to maintain an element of balance. Marcus Angell, our Managing Director, says: “balance is important, it reflects real life”. Ultimately, however, it is about finding the best person for the job.\nThe quotas are an important step toward equality and diversity but are they the right step? If we start hiring and promoting our employees on the basis of gender what happens to the equality of ability? After all, isn’t ability the most equal measure we have?\nImage: SilverDoor senior managers clockwise from bottom left: Caroline Saunders, Danielle Mahoney, Rafaela Baraldi, Claire Stephens, Joanna Cross, Sacha Griffiths.", "domain": "law"}

This is limited to damages typical for the contract, which are foreseeable at the conclusion of the contract.\nHowever, these limitations shall not be applicable in the event of a culpable breach of essential contract obligations.\nIn the event that a change occurs in the essential circumstances that are relevant to the conclusion of the contract and such change takes place through no fault of the customer and before the contract is performed by the supplier, the customer shall be entitled to demand that the contract will be performed at a later period of time than the period, which was agreed, or to withdraw from the contract in whole or in part.\n8. Drawings and Tools\n8.1 As far as drafts, drawings, or tools are required for the fulfillment of purchase orders, a written release by the customer shall be required. The supplier shall be ob ligated to discuss – based on the drawings – the design and conception of the tools together with the customer. Such discussion does not limit the supplier’s responsibility for the proper fulfillment in accordance with the contract. This also applies to the warranty and guarantee obligations of the supplier with respect to the articles of delivery as well as to suggestions and recommendations of the customer unless expressly agreed otherwise.\n8.2 Following the performance of the works and / or following the completion of the constructions, the corresponding tool drawings and technical documents shall be sent, free of charge, to the customer, at the latest until the date of acceptance, and the ownership shall be transferred to the customer.\nThe customer shall be informed immediately of any changes, which are performed by the supplier after the acceptance.

Assignment and Setoff\n10.1 Without the written consent of the customer, the supplier must not assign, to a third party, any claims on the customer arising from its shipments. The setoff against counter-claims of the supplier, which are disputed by the customer or which are not final and absolute, is not admissible. The same applies to the assertion of a right of retention.\n11. Proprietary Rights\n11.1 As far as industrial property rights exist in connection with the delivered goods, the supplier transfers to the customer – together with the shipment – the unlimited right of use of such rights as far as this is required for the proper use of the goods under the contract.\n11.2 The supplier shall indemnify the customer and its customers against any claims, which are asserted by third parties against the customer because of a breach of proprietary rights or copyrights of the delivered goods.

Yet continued oil and gas production contrasts with the state’s aggressive climate mitigation policies, while creating significant air and water pollution, particularly for disadvantaged communities in areas where much of the state’s drilling occurs.\nAs a result of these risks, many advocates and policymakers seek ways to enhance regulation of and eventually phase out oil and gas production in California. To provide legal options for policy makers to facilitate this transition, CLEE’s report Legal Grounds outlines steps California leaders could pursue on state- and privately-owned lands to achieve this reduction. Among the steps discussed, state leaders could:\n- Enhance regulatory authority over drilling by clarifying the need for the California Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM, the state's primary oil and gas regulator) to prioritize environmental and climate impacts over production;\n- Heighten scrutiny on permitting via comprehensive environmental review with mandatory, site-specific mitigation measures under the California Environmental Quality Act;\n- Institute minimum statewide drilling setbacks of at least 2,500 feet or more from sensitive sites, such as schools, parks, and houses;\n- Implement a per-barrel or per-well severance tax and dedicate the revenue to projects that further the goal of transitioning away from fossil fuel; and\n- Task the California Air Resources Board with devising and implementing a comprehensive plan for a phase-out of all in-state oil and gas production by a date that tracks with overall climate goals.\nThis report comes at a unique moment in the history of in-state oil and gas production. As of April 2020, the industry is struggling economically due to a global collapse in oil prices and a decrease in demand from COVID-19-related shutdowns. An intelligently structured phase-out could result in less harm to jobs and local economies, and California’s actions could demonstrate to other states and countries how to successfully sunset their fossil fuel production. The menu of law and policy options presented in Legal Grounds can assist state leaders in addressing these challenges and charting a new course for California’s in-state fossil fuel production.", "domain": "law"}

The article provides valuable information on how cohabitation impacts alimony payments and the legal procedures surrounding these issues in the state of Florida.\nIn the first few paragraphs of the article, Naples alimony lawyer Russell Knight highlights the fact that alimony is awarded in a Florida divorce if the court finds that one party has a need for alimony and the other party has the ability to pay. The article goes on to explain that if the ex-spouse receiving alimony moves in with a boyfriend, girlfriend, or gets remarried, the presumption might be that the new partner is now supporting the ex-spouse, and the old ex-spouse should be relieved of their obligation to pay alimony. However, this is not the case under Florida law.\nAccording to Naples alimony lawyer Russell Knight, “Cohabitation is a basis for modifying alimony after a Florida divorce.” He adds that the burden to prove a supportive relationship rests with the person trying to reduce or terminate alimony (the alimony payor). The article further elaborates on the factors a court can consider when determining if a supportive relationship exists and the different steps a court must take to modify alimony based on cohabitation.\nThe article also discusses the concept of proving a supportive relationship and the potential defenses that can be used by the alimony-receiving spouse. For instance, they may argue that the new partner does not really help the alimony-receiving spouse that much. However, Knight notes that the law in Florida does not consistently require the payee ex-spouse to prove they need alimony after a supportive relationship is proven.\nThe importance of clear contractual terms in alimony agreements is also emphasized in the article. Parties can agree on specific terms upon which alimony will reduce or cease, making the process more straightforward for everyone involved. Additionally, the article clarifies that any motion to modify alimony is only retroactive to the date of filing, but if the parties contracted in their marital settlement agreement for alimony to end upon cohabitation, the alimony ends upon cohabitation, not upon the filing date.\nTo better understand the complexities of cohabitation and alimony in Florida, consider reading the article by Naples alimony lawyer Russell Knight. The detailed analysis and legal insights provided can be invaluable for individuals facing these issues during a divorce or post-divorce.\nAbout The Law Office of Russell Knight:\nThe Law Office of Russell Knight is a family law firm based in Naples, Florida, dedicated to helping clients navigate the complexities of divorce, child custody, and other family law issues.

It depends on what your situation is. A lawsuit can be filed in any legal court that can give you a fair trial. But a defendant can transfer a case if they have a good reason to. You should choose a court that is capable of handling your claim.\nWhen is SS1391 (b)(3) a proper venue in a case? This fallback provision allows for personal jurisdiction to be asserted in any judicial district. If defendants reside outside their home states, plaintiffs may look to this provision to provide venue. However, plaintiffs must establish that they have sufficient contacts with the defendant in a given district in order to file suit in that court.\nVenue is important in federal civil actions because of geography and subject matter jurisdiction. A court that has personal jurisdiction over one defendant may not necessarily have subject-matter jurisdiction over another. A state with multiple federal district may not be the right venue. A federal court in another state might be the appropriate venue if a plaintiff files suit in one district, but is subject to jurisdiction elsewhere.\nWhen filing a lawsuit, SS1391(b)(6) specifies that the district in which the defendant is personally liable is the appropriate venue. This rule generally applies to civil actions where the defendant is an individual and where a substantial part of the events gave rise to the lawsuit. This rule is particularly important in patent infringement cases. The following are examples of cases where SS1391(b)(6) may be appropriate in a lawsuit.\nThe federal venue statute is found at 28 U.S.C. SS 1391 is the definition of a federal civil action. It also describes its key components and distinguishes it from jurisdiction. Venue is important because a plaintiff’s filing in the proper venue does not guarantee the court has jurisdiction over the subject matter or parties to the lawsuit. As a result, a lawsuit can be dismissed or transferred if venue rules are improper.\nThe courts consider the entire chain of events when deciding the proper venue for a lawsuit with Abogados en San Bernardino. This includes the relationship between the parties and the district. Henderson v. Laser Spine Inst. is a case that illustrates the use of this fallback provision. LLC, a dispute involving fraud and negligence as well as intentional infliction or emotional distress. In this case, the defendant company’s relationship with the plaintiff in Maine was sufficient to establish personal jurisdiction in the Eastern District of Virginia.\nA plaintiff will choose the judicial district where the alleged harm occurred. Normally, the venue is the state or county where the defendant resides. This is a geographical exercise. Some states have only one federal district while others can have as many as four. If the defendant is located in another state, the plaintiff must choose that state or county. SS1391(b)(7) is typically an appropriate venue in a lawsuit.\nCourts consider the sequence of events when deciding where to file a suit. A dispute under SS1391B(8) will normally be heard in a district where a significant part of the events took place and the defendant has personal authority over the plaintiff. Personal jurisdiction refers to the place where a plaintiff can file a lawsuit, even if it is not located in the state.\nThere are exceptions to this rule about venue. A lawsuit arising from a contractual promise of performance must be filed in that county. This applies to creditor suits that arise from personal contracts and household agreements. A contract that contains personal use provisions is not allowed to waive venue requirements under subsection c.\nTo challenge an issue of venue in a case, file a motion for venue dismissal. The code of civil procedures lists the proper venue. This statute is often waived, but must be filed with initial response to complaint. The courts have special rules for venue, such as that the lawsuit can be moved from one federal district to another or from a state court to a federal court. Venue may be a defense in cases that involve foreign countries.\nVenue is the place where a lawsuit is filed in a federal court. Rules are specific to federal courts and govern the venue of federal civil actions. A lawsuit must be filed in federal court. The plaintiff must establish personal jurisdiction in the appropriate district. In some cases venue is determined by law of the state where the defendant lives, such as a New York or California court.", "domain": "law"}

Beyond the Schism!\nUnder the umbrella term Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), discourses around mediation and other non-judicial approaches to conflict resolution have been constrained by a predominantly legal narrative ultimately founded on an `either-or’ dichotomy between status quos instead of allowing a third way resting on a `both-and’ approach. The highly influential ADR critic Owen M. Fiss rejected ADR as a threat to human rights, public values and justice. He argued that the legal script is the only reliable bulwark against demoralization under the spread of capitalism, and a yardstick by which public values can be maintained. Given the increasing commodification of justice and the law’s blindness for complex processes and structures, it is apparent that the legal tradition by itself has proven to be incapable of defending these values effectively. An approach to conflict transformation — which goes beyond being an Alternative Dispute Resolution to the judicial process, and transcends the dualism of either-or — may offer a more adequate response to address the challenges Fiss was justifiably concerned about. Mutli-disciplinary problem-solving teams, deep reconciliation and dialogue approaches are needed to address underlying conflicts the symptoms of which may become salient as legal breaches.\nTable of Contents\nI: Introduction: Is legalism better suited for dispute resolution?\nII: Key Diagnosis: High risk of commodified justice\nIII: Key Prognosis: Careful: Capital may subvert the rule of law\nIV: Key Therapy: Conflict Transformation conciles legalism & ADR", "domain": "law"}

Now, following a successful case at the Court of Appeal, BT have taken the case to a competition tribunal.\n“The telecoms giant appealed against a decision by the Competition Appeals Tribunal. The CAT had struck out an order by the communications watchdog Ofcom that said BSkyB had to offer Sky Sports to rivals at a lower price.\nThe Court of Appeal however sent the case back to the CAT today after it made ‘errors of law that mean the judgment cannot be upheld’. The panel of three appeal judges found the CAT failed to appreciate the importance of Ofcom’s conclusion that BSkyB’s wholesale pricing structure itself caused ‘competition concerns’.\nBT’s victory is the latest round of a battle dating back to 2007, several years before it mounted an all-out assault on BSkyB with the launch of BT Sport. At the time it was dipping a toe in the waters of television with its BT Vision set-top box and wanted to offer Sky Sports as part of the package.\nAfter a three-year investigation, Ofcom ordered BSkyB to cut its prices in 2010, prompting four years of court battles so far. Virgin Media had also complained about Sky Sports prices.\nBT said the Court of Appeal’s decision would give it the chance to raise the current issue of its failure to secure a wholesale deal to offer Sky Sports to subscribers who have its more modern YouView set-top box, which was introduced last year alongside BT Sport.\nThe rivals have both said they want to do a deal but have failed to agree reciprocal wholesale terms for Sky Sports and BT Sport.\nA BT spokesman said: ‘We are glad that this issue will now be considered afresh and are hopeful that the outcome will finally deliver increased competition in pay TV which would be in the best interests of consumers.\n‘BT remains unable to offer Sky Sports 1 and 2 on its most important TV service YouView. Sky’s refusal to offer access to these channels on reasonable terms causes serious harm to consumers and must be resolved urgently.’\nThe decision was also welcomed by regulators, who have been frustrated by the legal quagmire and were embarrassed by the CAT’s original finding against them.\nAn Ofcom spokesman said: ‘Ensuring fair and effective competition in the pay TV market has always been Ofcom’s objective.\n‘Ofcom’s 2010 decision that Sky must offer premium sports channels to other providers was designed to deliver choice and innovation to consumers through greater competition.’\nThe Government is currently preparing laws that would restrict the rights of companies to appeal against regulatory decisions.\nA BSkyB spokesman said: “This does not alter in any way the CAT’s fundamental findings, overturning Ofcom, that Sky engaged constructively with other distributors over the supply of its premium sports channels, and that Virgin Media is able to compete effectively with Sky on the basis of Sky’s rate card prices.\n‘Sky continues to believe that Ofcom’s 2010 decision is flawed and that the WMO obligation ought properly to be removed, and will continue to pursue all available options to achieve this aim.’”\nThis article was originally published at: The Telegraph.", "domain": "law"}

It aims to get citizens involved in discouraging and preventing crime at the local level. They are extra eyes and ears for reporting crime and helping each other. The ultimate success of Neighbourhood Watch depends largely on a commitment to cooperation between area residents and the police - and more importantly, between residents themselves.. They are extra eyes and ears for reporting crime and helping each other.\nYour neighbours know who you are, what type of car you drive, and may be the first to notice a suspicious person at your door or window. A police officer patrolling your community may not recognize a stranger in your yard - but your neighbour will.\nBy simply getting to know the neighbours around you, you'll be well positioned to recognize someone or something that's suspicious.\nWhat kind of activities should I be aware of?\n§ Someone screaming or shouting for help.\n§ Someone looking in windows of houses or parked cars.\n§ Property being taken out of houses when no one is at home or from closed businesses.\n§ Vehicles moving slowly for no apparent reason.\n§ Anyone being forced into a vehicle. Strangers sitting in a car or stopping to talk to a child\nSome common questions:\nWhat if I forgot to lock my vehicle, front door and items are taken. Should I report it. Absolutely. If someone has been checking into your vehicle for items, they are committing a crime. You need to report it so that the Ottawa Police is made aware of potentially extra crimes in your neighbourhood\nWhat are my responsibilities as a Watch Member?\n§ Be alert!\n§ Know your neighbors and watch out for each other.\n§ Report crimes and suspicious activities to the Police.\nWith Neighbourhood Watch, you can learn:\nhow to make your home less inviting to thieves (free CPC consultation available)\nto be aware of suspicious behavior and how to take appropriate action\nhow to participate in Operation Identification by marking your personal property\nto encourage others to reduce or prevent local criminal activities\nAs a member, your only duty is to look out for your best interests and those of your family and neighbours. You could do this by:\nü keeping your own home secure\nü monitoring your neighbour's homes during their absences\nü being a good neighbour, the kind you would like to have living next door\nü taking appropriate action when a crime is suspected\n\"Neighbourhood Watch? No offence, but I value my privacy. I mind my own business and I expect my neighbours to do the same. What's wrong with that?\"\nNothing at all. We all value our privacy. But Neighbourhood Watch is simply a program designed to help neighbourhood crime - it could be vandalism, physical assault, or whatever is deemed as suspicious or a crime in progress. One of the ways you can help achieve this goal is by being alert to the behavior of strangers. A Watch makes it a whole lot easier to identify strangers once you get to know your neighbours and for this reason, watched neighbours tend to be more cohesive, caring communities. So, bottom line, it really comes down to deciding what kind of community you want to live in, and what level of participation makes it work for you.\nTo sign up as a member (it's free!) of the Bel Air Community Neighbourhood Watch, to receive regular updates on crime activity in our neighbourhood, contact:\nSuzanne Brown, Watch Coordinator, Bel Air", "domain": "law"}

In January of 2017 he was sentenced to death.\nTomorrow evening, we will attend a candlelight vigil in the Gaillard Center Memorial Gardens across the street from the church, in remembrance of the lives and legacies of the Emanuel 9 and the four survivors of the shooting.

Tuttle. Tuttle's first work for the Fraternity at the national level came when he was elected Grand Chancellor at the 1927 Atlanta Convention. At the 1929 Memphis Convention, Tuttle was elected Grand Princeps - the Fraternity's highest office - a position he would hold until 1938. Tuttle left his most significant mark on the Fraternity at the 1933 Troutdale Convention when he convinced Junior Founder and Grand Treasurer Robert Adger Smythe to give up control of the Fraternity's finances after irregularities were discovered. A lawyer by profession, Tuttle established his reputation as a lawyer committed to upholding the principle of law and for supporting African American defendants throughout the 1930s. As a member of the Georgia National Guard in 1931, he helped save a black man from lynching by an angry mob, later agreeing to serve as the man's lawyer. Two years later, Tuttle took on the case of another black man who had been sentenced to 18 years of hard labor for simply distributing literature calling for the end of segregation. With the outbreak of World War II, however, Tuttle left his law practice to enlist in the Army, rising to command a field artillery battalion of the 77th Infantry Division. Although he was offered a non-combat staff position, Tuttle refused to be a non-combatant while young men - including his son and nephew - served in active combat. Seeing action in the Pacific theater, Tuttle took part in the invasion of Guam, Leyte Gulf, and Okinawa. In 1954, Tuttle was appointed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit - the court responsible for the majority of Southern states. Accepting the appointment just weeks after the Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education, Tuttle walked into a political and judicial firestorm as political leaders urged their constituents to defy federal law, and many state and federal judges refused to enforce the Brown decision and other civil rights rulings. Judge Tuttle, however, upheld the law - reversing lower court judges and blocking unlawful treatment of black citizens. His notable rulings included: requiring Mississippi to permit black citizens to vote, ordering the first black student admitted to the University of Mississippi, and blocking an order from a lower court that would have permitted the expulsion of over 1,000 black Alabama high school students who had been arrested for demonstration for civil rights. Refusing to allow the Fraternity system to continue to discriminate either, Tuttle urged Fraternities throughout the period to give up discriminatory membership practices and to accept any worthy member, regardless of race. For his adherence to principle in the face of adversity during the Civil Rights Era - which came in the form of local ostracism, hate mail, and even threats of physical violence - Judge Tuttle was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1981.", "domain": "law"}

The following is a summary of salient points from the newly-posted decisions:\nNov 09, 2009_01: No content of note.\nJan 06, 2010_01: This decision concerns a stand-alone EB-5 case involving an operational hotel purchased through investment by the petitioner in 2006. It was denied for the following reasons:\n- The petition did not establish creation of 10 new jobs (in addition to preserved jobs) and did not provide a satisfactory business plan.\n- The petition did not establish a personal investment of $1,000,000 (“an investment by a corporation cannot be considered a personal investment by its sole shareholder”). (This issue was introduced by the AAO, not a point in the original denial by the service center.)\nFeb 18, 2010_01 to _07: These decisions concern I-526 petitions filed in August 2008 for an investment within Capital Area Regional Center Job Fund (for renovation of the former Watergate Hotel). The decisions are similar, and include the following reasons for denial:\n- The petition was supported by agreements substantially amended from those filed with the original regional center proposal, and did not disclose that the agreements had been amended. The petitioner subsequently filed an amendment with USCIS, but this did not help matters since “amendments to agreements or business plans that postdate the filing of the petition will not be considered.” CARc’s informal and ex parte communications with a USCIS official concerning the acceptability of the amendments were also not admitted.\n- The Operating Agreement included disqualifying provisions relating to reserve accounts, interim investments, membership units in exchange for services and the waiver of expense fees from the aliens.\n- EB-5 Project Capital toward job creation and organizational fees were paid out of the same account, and it wasn’t demonstrated that the account included sufficient funds to pay organizational fees without the use of any of the $500,000 being invested by each alien.\n- Use of EB-5 investment to back a letter of credit to secure a construction loan does not sufficiently place the investors’ funds at risk for job creation.\n- The petitioner did not demonstrate that the location of the investment was considered a TEA at the time of filing or investment.\n- The business plan included “material changes” from the original business plan. (“While we recognize that business plans often require some flexibility to deal with unforeseen circumstances, the business plan and the terms of the commitment letter in this matter have been amended with nearly every filing. These amendments go far beyond mere clarifications.”) The petitioner failed to demonstrate that the original business plan and projections continued to be viable.\nI note that, as usual, all the decisions cite Matter of Ho on business plans.", "domain": "law"}

This article discusses the characteristics of multimodal transport in the context of the existing international legal framework. In connection with the performance of various modes of transport, there is currently no international agreement covering transport operations that involve more than one transport mode. For this reason, a number of global and regional initiatives are under way to harmonize the rules for international multimodal transport of goods. The joint efforts of the international community are focused on finding less polluting and more energy-efficient transport solutions.\nThe legal relations between the participants in the multimodal transport chain (sea, rail, road, air, water), as well as between the carriers and the other participants in multimodal transport (freight forwarders, multimodal transport operators, dry ports, etc.) have their specific features. These relations should be covered by a potential new legal framework. The allocation of responsibilities between all participants is an issue characterized by its complexity and the need to harmonize the legal frameworks for multimodal transport operations and international legal regulation.\nKeywords: intermodal transport, multimodal transport, combined transport, multimodal contract, transport of goods", "domain": "law"}

The Supreme Court Justices in California have ruled that freedom of religion is subordinate to the rights of those with same gender attraction. Apparently Justice Joyce Kennard wrote that two Christian fertility doctors, who practice in a private health care facility and refused to artificially inseminate a woman of same gender attraction, have neither a free-speech or religious exemption from state law. In essence, religious freedom is being trampled upon and subordinated to the wants and desires of an individual of same gender attraction who wants to be artificially inseminated. I can see if we are dealing with a life or death situation and the individual needs immediate medical care, the doctors have taken an oath and would be obligated to provide the best of care. But when it is simply elective and fulfilling a want or desire, for the courts to compel performance is beyond the breach.\nAs noted in my previous post, we find that the wants of those with same gender attractions being imposed upon society, wherein the same gender attraction community has turned to the judiciary to legitimize and legislate their lifestyle upon the majority interests in society. Our freedoms and liberties are without doubt being trampled upon, and it is not in our advocacy for freedom nor in our advocacy for Marriage. Our freedoms and liberties are being trampled upon in the name of \"tolerance\", \"discrimination\" and \"choice.\" This is not about the heterosexual community imposing our lifestyle upon the homosexual community - On the contrary it is about the homosexual community imposing their lifestyle upon us to legitimize their elective choice and want. Surely, in our society the homosexual community can live as they wish, but when they seek to impose their lifestyles upon others, they trample upon the freedoms and liberties upon which this nation is founded.\nAs we choose our next POTUS, may we consider the criticality of this decision and choose wisely. In Senator Obama we have a man who reflects the attitudes and interpretation of our modern judiciary, legislating, dictating and imposing upon the freedoms and liberties that we cherish. A man who epitomizes the attitudes and philosophies of generational entitlement. In Senator McCain we have a man who believes and has fought for the freedoms and liberties that we share. A man who believes that our freedoms are endowed to preserve our society, not simply to fulfill our wants at the expense of others. Choose wisely and stand for freedom.", "domain": "law"}

Not so fast says Elina Miezite. You may need to get a license before you do…\nOne of the nicest things about achieving PR coverage for your business is sharing it with your colleagues, management, shareholders and customers. However, content sharing often puts businesses at risk of being exposed to penalties.\nIn April 2013 we reported on the fines imposed on one public body which fell foul of licensing rules. Why? Simply because any business needs a license to share content that isn’t published by the business itself. Elina outlines four things to consider in copyright\n1) So what do you need to know?What do I need a copyright license for?\nA copyright license will permit you to make copies of various published materials and share these with a specified number of individuals in your business in compliance with the law. Depending on what media channel your business is targeting, there are a variety of license providers, including the following organisations:\n- Newspaper Licensing Agency\n- Copyright Licensing Agency\n- Motion Picture Licensing Corporation\nYou can also pay individual licences with specific publishers. The government’s licencing portal has more information.\nHowever, regardless of where on the news your commentary appears, anything from taking photos, scanning pages to recording audio or video content and then sharing with others without an appropriate license, can put you at risk of breaching copyright laws.\n2. I gave a BBC News interview on behalf of my business; will I breach the licensing rights if I copy the video and share it with my team?\nThere are of course social media sharing buttons which allow you to do this, but in the absence of this facility – perhaps if a piece of 3rd party recording software is used to download and store the content, you may be in breach if you don’t have an appropriate license. It’s important to understand that even though content is often generated by external PR advisors or a business’ own communication department by way of a press release, the publisher is the one who holds the rights to the material.\n3. Which licence do I need in order to make copies of just our local media coverage to share?\nThe good thing is that a small business doesn’t have to pay the same licensing fee as a nationwide organisation. Firstly, because a smaller business may be looking for exposure within local or regional media, a single license can be granted directly from those publishers.\nHowever it’s more than likely you’ll be looking for a licence that covers multiple titles. For example, an NLA license allows copies to be made of articles published in newspapers or magazines either in print or online, while a CLA license may be more suitable if you wish to re-use content from books, journals and electronic or online publications. The problem is that there are many overlapping areas covered by the different agencies as this graphic demonstrates:\nIf you plan to appear on TV, regardless of whether it’s regional or national, the Motion Picture Licensing Company will allow you to copy and share content from movies, TV programmes, or any entertainment video, without violating the Copyright Act.\nWhat this all proves is you may in fact need more than one license, so to find out more about different licensing bodies, visit the government’s website here.\n4. Will I need to pay for a license if I work with a PR agency which distributes cuttings?\nThe chances are you will, but the amount could vary from an agency to agency. Because of the nature of the work PR agencies do, you will struggle to find one that doesn’t hold a license already. For a PR agency to share their work, which is often press coverage, externally to clients, a media consultancy license is necessary. PR agencies usually employ external media cuttings services for collating coverage which in return makes it easy to deliver it to the client. However, you have to remember, that if you choose to further duplicate and share the received coverage yourself, you will most likely need to purchase your own license.\nIt’s likely you’ll have some unanswered questions and this article is intended only as a very rough guide. For up to date advice, please contact the relevant licensing bodies directly.\nA business journalist by trade, Ralph Savage represents a series of B2B clients on media and marketing matters.

If there is a previous criminal record, the chances of jail time go up. If the accused possess a green card or if there is any question of immigration status, petty theft is considered a crime that the court calls a crime of “moral turpitude,” and it could lead to deportation.\nIn the State of California, theft is divided into two types: Grand theft and Petty theft. Theft of property valued at more than $950 is considered grand theft. Theft of property valued less than $950 is considered petty theft. Anyone convicted of petty theft could be fined up to $1,000 and spend up to six months in county jail.\nWhile this is bad enough, there are greater consequences if there is a prior on the convicted person’s record. Anybody that has been previously convicted of the following crimes could be charged with a felony or misdemeanor for petty theft with a prior. Misdemeanors alone are punishable by up to twelve months in jail. Felonies carry sentences up to three years in prison.\nThe list of prior crimes that enhance the penalty for a petty theft conviction include:\n- Petty theft\n- Grand theft\n- Elderly fraud\n- Violent crimes\n- Some sex crimes\nHow a current petty theft crime and prior crimes come together in the court is complicated. California’s criminal courts are difficult to navigate under the best of circumstances.

Whilst we appreciate the need to clarify legal responsibilities, we emphasise that the protection of life and human dignity should remain the topmost priority.\nIn order to preserve the integrity of the maritime rule whereby all persons in distress are to be rescued, it is imperative that coastal states coordinate their efforts towards ensuring a prompt disembarkation at a place of safety. This is a clear obligation under international law.\nWe are keen to clarify that NGOs rescuing persons in distress are not violating international norms but rely on States to fulfil their obligations by indicating a safe port for prompt disembarkation of all rescued persons. We also remind the authorities concerned that disembarkation in unsafe places, such as Libya, would violate international law and is therefore not a valid option. Thus, we express our concern with the announcement made by both the Italian and Maltese authorities on the intention of sanctioning the captain and crew of the Mission Lifeline rescue ship.\nAs Italian and Maltese civil society organisations, we reiterate that political disputes over migration responsibilities cannot be resolved by violating international law and placing people’s lives and wellbeing at risk. Humanitarian and human rights obligations should always prevail over political considerations.\nWe, therefore, urge the forthcoming European Council meeting to urgently identify and implement much-needed solutions to the situation in the Mediterranean, inspired by the principle of European solidarity and fully in line with the obligations related to the protection of human rights.\nStatement issued by:\nAditus foundation, African Media Association Malta, Associazione ONG Italiane (AOI), CONCORD Italia, Coordinamento Italiano NGO Internazionali (CINI), COSPE Onlus, Foundation for Shelter and Support to Migrants, Integra Foundation, Jesuit Refugee Service Malta, Kopin, LIBICO, Link 2007, Malta Emigrants’ Commission, Migrant Women Association Malta, Moviment Graffitti, People for Change Foundation, Platform of Human Rights Organisations in Malta (PHROM), SOS Malta, SKOP, Terre des Hommes – Italy.", "domain": "law"}

Let us assure you that we are not spinning a Harry Potteresque tale of magic and wizardry, however. For one — it takes more than a mere waive of the wand and utterance of incoherent phrase to create a Power of Attorney. In this installment of the Business Blog, we will be discussing the Florida Power of Attorney with emphasis on the upcoming changes in the Florida Power of Attorney law.\nFlorida Power of Attorney Purposes.\nYou can use a Florida Power of Attorney to appoint another person to act in your place as if that person were you. For purposes of a PoA, you are the Principal, and the person you appoint is your Agent. You can give your Agent a broad range of powers via a General Florida Power of Attorney, or only a few specific powers via a Special Florida Power of Attorney. General and Special PoAs will only be effective while you are alive and have capacity to make decisions for yourself. A Durable PoA is a PoA that contains legal language authorizing your Agent to act for you in the event of your death or incapacity. As you can see, the PoA can be extremely useful. As with all things useful, however, the PoA comes with its own set of snags.\nFlorida Power of Attorney Requirements.\nThe Florida Power of Attorney has always been subject to strict requirements. For example, just as with a will or a deed, two witnesses are required for the execution of a PoA. In certain cases, very specific language must be used to create an effective Florida Power of Attorney. Recently, in an attempt to bring the Florida Power of Attorney statute into conformity with the Uniform Power of Attorney Act, Florida lawmakers have introduced a slew of changes to the Florida Power of Attorney law. The changes are due to become effective on October 1st of 2011.\nLet’s open with some good news: A Florida Power of Attorney properly executed prior to October 1st of 2011 is not subject to the new requirements and will remain effective under the old requirements. Also, the state of Florida will continue to give full faith and credit to PoAs properly executed in other states. For purposes of this article, we will limit discussion to three main affected areas: Florida Power of Attorney and notifying Third Parties, the Durable Power of Attorney or “DPoA”, and the General Power of Attorney or “GPoA”.\nThe new law affects the manner in which you notify third parties of changes to your PoA. Third parties are individuals and institutions, such as banks, that rely on the authority granted by your PoA. Under the new law, if you modify or terminate your PoA, you have to follow certain procedures to let these third parties know of the changes you’ve made. Notice to third parties and agents must now be in writing, and notice to banking institutions is subject to additional requirements.\nA standard Durable PoA becomes effective the moment you execute it. This means that your Agent may start acting under the authority of the DPoA immediately. In the past, if you didn’t want to give your Agent all that power right away, you could have created a “springing” DPoA, a type of DPoA that becomes effective only at the time of your death or incapacity. The new law, however, expressly eliminates the springing DPoA. Fortunately, springing DPoAs created prior to October 1st of 2011 will remain valid.\nAlong with the springing DPoA, the new law technically eliminates the General Power of Attorney, as well. General grants of authority will no longer be effective under the new law. Instead, in order to be effective, each PoA must contain language listing the specific powers granted. The new law does provide for language that may be used to convey a series of powers, however. For example, the phrase “authority to conduct banking transactions as provided in s. 709.2208(1), F.S.” will bestow upon your Agent the authority to deal with banking institutions on your behalf: to establish or terminate accounts, contract for banking services, and withdraw or transfer funds.\nThat’s it for this entry of the Business Blog. We hope that you found this article informative.

Gavin Newsom has signed the first bill in the nation to crack down on fraudulent practices concerning emotional support animals, while protecting public access rights for people with legitimate service dogs such as guide dogs or service dogs for physical disabilities. The legislation, co-sponsored by Guide Dogs for the Blind (GDB) and Canine Companions, garnered a rare groundswell of bipartisan support in the California Assembly and Senate.\nAssemblymember Laura Friedman (D-Glendale) introduced the bill (AB 468) in the California Assembly and was its champion throughout the process to passage. Senator Patricia Bates (R-Laguna Niguel) managed the bill in the Senate. After passing the Assembly and Senate, Gov. Newsom signed it last week, and it will go into effect on January 1, 2022.\nThe legislation addresses the growing online sale of fraudulent emotional support and service animal certificates by opportunists who promise consumers access for their pets equal to that of people with legitimate service animals. The new law also requires clear disclosures for selling dogs for use as emotional support animals as well as for selling tags and other services relating to them. It imposes civil penalties to combat fraud and misleading business practices, which bilk money from consumers and put innocent, untrained animals in scary and dangerous situations.\n“I’m grateful to my colleagues and Gov. Newsom for supporting this measure to protect the rights of people who are blind or visually impaired and other users of legitimate service animals in their equal access to public spaces, safety, and independence,” said Assemblymember Friedman. “By ending the practice of misinformation and fraud that has occurred with the sale of emotional support animals and service dogs, we can create a safer community for all – especially people with disabilities who rely on formally trained service dogs in their daily lives.”\n“It was a pleasure joining forces with Assemblymember Friedman and stakeholders to combat the fraudulent practice of misrepresenting emotional support dogs as trained service dogs,” said Senator Bates. “I co-authored AB 468 because California needs stronger laws to reduce fraud and protect the reputations of legitimate service dogs and the people they serve. AB 468 is a bipartisan victory for Californians, and I am honored to have played a role in pushing the bill across the finish line.”\n“The online sales of fraudulent certificates have become increasingly dangerous for the public and for dogs alike, causing confusion about legitimate service animals and complicating the lives of legitimate service-dog handlers whose disabilities are cruelly questioned,” said Rabih Dow, director of advocacy and outreach programs for Guide Dogs for the Blind. “This law will curtail selling fraudulent tags and certificates for untrained dogs, a practice that has confused people with false promises of access for their dogs to restricted public spaces such as restaurants, stores, planes, and public buildings.”\n“It has been a pleasure working with Assemblymember Friedman and our colleagues at Guide Dogs for the Blind to craft such an important bill,” said Paige Mazzoni, chief executive officer of Canine Companions. “This law will help clarify the differing public access rights for service dogs and emotional support animals, as well as protect people with disabilities from unethical business practices around selling fraudulent documentation. We are committed to protecting and ensuring access for people with disabilities and the trained service dogs on whom they rely to live independently.”", "domain": "law"}

When a business loan is modified to reduce or eliminate the amount owed it normally causes cancellation of debt income, which is taxable. Many times business owners are unaware of the consequences of debt cancellation until they receive a 1099-C.\nIf you are in this situation, you may be able to use Form 982 to exclude some or even all of the debt that has been forgiven when the debt is “qualified real property business indebtedness” (QRBI).\nQRBI is money borrowed by any taxpayer in a trade or business (other than a C Corp) to acquire, construct, reconstruct or substantially improve the property and where the lender has a security interest in the property. Revenue Ruling – 2016-15 also applies this exclusion to property leased for residential purposes (unless it is or sale).\nTo apply for forgiveness, Form 982 is used and must be filed no later than 6 months after the due date of the return for the year where debt forgiveness occurred.\nThe amount of forgiveness is equal to the insolvent amount, or (debt before discharge less FMV of property before discharge), and is limited to the basis in all depreciable real property owned by the taxpayer. Basis in all retained real estate will be reduced by the debt forgiveness, and if later resold the gain will be ordinary up to the forgiveness amount.\nIf you, as a business owner has gone through this process and receives a 1099-C (would be after the first of the year for a debt cancellation that occurred in 2020), we can help you determine the level of insolvency. The calculated amount in that process determines the income and tax liability forgiven.\nNote that a reduction in basis that occurs in this process results in higher capital gain in a later sale. (Nothing is free from the IRS).\nThough we will see a lot of debt forgiveness as a result of Covid, the business debt relief process is not part of the Covid relief laws passed in 2020. Rather, this process has been around for many years and was a help to many homeowners facing foreclosure after the 2008 housing crisis. We saw a lot of 1099-C’s from homeowners for a number of years after the housing crisis and will likely see them from businesses for a number of years after Covid.\nAFS – small business is our specialty", "domain": "law"}

Legality 16-hour shift UK complex important issue affects well-being workers country. In this blog post, I will delve into the laws and regulations surrounding this topic, providing useful information and insights.\nThe Working Time Regulations 1998 sets out the legal framework for working hours in the UK. According to these regulations, adult workers are entitled to a minimum rest period of 11 consecutive hours in each 24-hour period. Additionally, they should not work more than an average of 48 hours per week, unless they choose to opt out of this limit.\nLet`s take a look at a few real-life examples to understand the impact of long working hours on workers. In a study conducted by the Trade Union Congress (TUC), it was found that 3.3 million employees UK work more 48 hours week. This includes workers in the healthcare, transport, and hospitality sectors.\nFurthermore, a case study by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) revealed that long working hours can lead to fatigue, decreased productivity, and an increased risk of accidents in the workplace. This highlights the importance of enforcing laws related to working hours to protect the well-being of employees.\nAccording to a report by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the average weekly hours worked in the UK is 32.2 hours full-time employees. However, there are significant variations across different industries and sectors. For example, employees in the manufacturing and construction industries tend to work longer hours compared to those in administrative and support service activities.\nAfter exploring the legal framework, case studies, and statistics, it is evident that a 16-hour shift is not in line with the Working Time Regulations in the UK. Employers have a legal responsibility to ensure that their employees` working hours comply with the law to safeguard their health and well-being.\nIs a 16 Hour Shift Legal UK? Your Burning Legal Questions Answered\n|1. Can an employer require me to work a 16-hour shift in the UK?\n|Oh, my dear friend, the UK is a country with a rich history and a complex legal system. The answer to this question lies in the Working Time Regulations 1998. According to these regulations, adult workers are generally not allowed to work more than 48 hours per week on average. However, there are some exceptions and individual opt-out agreements that can affect this. It`s a fascinating maze of legal intricacies!\n|2. What legal requirements breaks 16-hour shift UK?\n|Ah, the beautiful ballet of employment law! During a 16-hour shift, an employee is entitled to a rest break of at least 20 minutes, and this should be taken away from the workstation. In addition, there should be a rest period of at least 11 hours between each shift. The intricacies of ensuring these requirements are met is a testament to the art of legal compliance.\n|3. Can an employee refuse to work a 16-hour shift in the UK?\n|Ah, the delicate dance of employee rights! An employee has the right to refuse to work a 16-hour shift if it would breach the Working Time Regulations, unless there are exceptional circumstances. However, this refusal should be handled carefully and in accordance with employment law to avoid any legal repercussions. It truly is a fascinating display of legal rights and responsibilities.\n|4. What are the potential consequences for an employer who requires employees to work 16-hour shifts in the UK?\n|Oh, the precarious tightrope of employer obligations! If an employer requires employees to work 16-hour shifts without complying with the Working Time Regulations, they may face legal consequences such as employment tribunal claims, fines, and damage to their reputation.

Some industries and professions, such as healthcare and transportation, have specific exemptions from certain provisions of the Working Time Regulations due to the nature of their work. However, these exemptions are subject to strict conditions and must be carefully navigated to ensure compliance with the law. It`s a captivating interplay of legal nuances and practical considerations.\n|6. Can an employee be required to work consecutive 16-hour shifts in the UK?\n|Oh, the intricate choreography of working time arrangements! The Working Time Regulations stipulate that there must be at least 11 hours of rest between each shift, with limited exceptions.

An employee can voluntarily consent to working a 16-hour shift, provided that they have not exceeded the maximum weekly working hours under the Working Time Regulations and have taken all required rest breaks. However, it`s crucial for employers to ensure that such consent is truly voluntary and not obtained under duress. It`s a captivating dance of legal consent and protection of employee rights.\n|9. What are the legal implications of working 16-hour shifts on employee health and safety in the UK?\n|Oh, the delicate balance of health and safety obligations!

It is illegal for headteachers to grant any leave of absence during term time unless in exceptional circumstances.\nPenalty notices ranging from £60 to £120 can be issued to parents by the LEA.\nThere have been some very recent changes in the Local Authorities’ Code of Conduct\nPenalty Notice for leave of absence (holiday) in term time\nFrom 1st January 2018 any period of unauthorised leave may result in you as a parent receiving a penalty notice fine. Your head teacher will continue to be the only person able to authorise leave in term time, but this will apply only in exceptional circumstances. Any unauthorised absence will be referred by your head teacher to the local authority.\nPenalty Notice for Persistent Lateness\nPreviously a pupil had to achieve 20 unauthorised late marks before a penalty notice warning could be issued. This has now changed to 10 marks, and late marks do not have to be one after the other in order for the penalty notice to be issued. You are therefore encouraged where possible to ensure your child attends school on time. However, if your child is late you must inform the school of the reason(s) why, as they may be able to offer you some form of advice or support.\nPeriod of time used to measure persistent absence or lateness\nIf your child has had 10 days unauthorised absence or is late 10 times over a twelve week period, you may receive a penalty warning notice and also potentially a fine.\nThese changes have been implemented to help promote and support good attendance to school. Further details and a copy of the revised Code of Conduct for issuing Penalty Notices can be obtained from the council's website www.staffordshire.gov.uk/education.\nSt Giles' is obliged to follow these new procedures. It is extremely important that your child’s education programme is not disrupted by unauthorised absence. Only in exceptional circumstances can the Principal grant any leave of absence.\nThank you for your support.", "domain": "law"}

The tragic result of the repression was the murder of 22-year-old Mapuche Rafael Nahuel. Other two Mapuches were hospitalized in the hospital of Bariloche, with live-ammunition wounds. In addition, several other acts of violence perpetrated by law enforcement bodies have been reported in the area. Among the most outrageous was the incarceration of children who where separated from their caretakers and confined in a local police station, violating the most basic human rights and the international Convention on the Rights of the Child.\nThese events are neither surprising nor coincidental. For some time, the National government –particularly the Ministry of Security, and with the consent of the media – has begun a process of demonization and stigmatization which has no other objective than to construct a so-called “internal other” or dangerous internal, that today is principally embodied in the Mapuche people and other indigenous groups. This stigmatizing demonization, which when carried out by the State has repressive consequences of remarkable gravity, takes place within the context of the great speculative avidity that Patagonian territories are gaining in the face of the voracious advance of neo-extractivist policies.\nIn Argentina there is an increasing vulnerability of democratic institutions, evidenced by repeated examples of repression exerted on the Argentinian society in general, but particularly on indigenous communities. The disappearance and subsequent death of Santiago Maldonado as well as the existence of indigenous political prisoners in different provinces in Argentina (Chubut, Neuquén, Jujuy, Formosa, among others), force us- as professionals who have been working with indigenous groups- to emphasize the seriousness of these events.\nTherefore, we demand the effective enforcement of existing legislation that guarantees the rights of the indigenous peoples [provided by the Argentinian Constitution (Article 75, paragraph 17), various international agreements (Convention 169 of the International Labor Organization and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples), as well as other national, provincial and local legislation], by the authorities of the various state actors. We urge the institutions involved and the media to stop the current stigmatization and concealment process. We call on the entire academic community and society as a whole to demonstrate against these terrible events. We demand an end to the violence perpetrated against indigenous communities and a thorough investigation, trial and sentencing of those responsible.\nDr. Stephen Grant Baines1, Dr. Alejandro Balazote2 3, Dra.

These rules are in place for the benefit of all the homeowners so that each homeowner can rely on the properties around them being maintained to prevent loss of value in the area.\nIf you are experiencing frustration because a property is not being maintained, or other activities are going on that you think are hurting the value of your property or upsetting the character of your neighborhood contact your HOA or call us to get advice on enforcing the Covenants and Restrictions in your neighborhood.\nDo you have questions or do you want to make an appointment in this area?", "domain": "law"}

This page describes the established guidelines for contributions of code, documentation, patches, and artwork to the Transifex repositories.\nIn order to clarify the intellectual property license granted with contributions from any person or entity, Transifex, as maintainer of Transifex, must have a Contributor License Agreement (CLA) on file that has been signed by each Contributor, indicating agreement to certain license terms. This license is not only for the protection of the contributors themselves, but also for the protection of the project and its users; it does not change your rights to use your own Contributions for any other purpose.\nAll past and future contributors of non-trivial amounts of code (more than just a line or two) to Transifex are required to sign the CLA. If somebody is unable to sign the document, their contribution will need to be removed from the Transifex repositories.\n1. If you don't have a GPG key already, create one and publish it:\ngpg --gen-key gpg --list-secret-keys # Publish your key: Replace the 8-digit ID with your key ID. gpg --send-keys --keyserver pgp.mit.edu A1C02C1A\n2. Open the Transifex Contributor Agreement. Copy/download the CLA content to a local file on your workstation (eg. 'transifex-cla-[username].txt') and fill in the necessary information using your favorite text editor (e.g. vim, gedit, Notepad).\n3. Digitally sign the file using GPG, either with your favorite GUI (eg. seahorse, kgpg) or using the command-line:\ngpg --clearsign transifex-cla-[username].txt\n4. Send the resulting file\ntransifex-cla.txt.gpg by email to\nadmin -at- transifex -dot- com.\nTransifex's CLA is a copy of the one used by Sun Microsystems for all contributions to their projects. This particular agreement has been used by other software projects in addition to Sun and is generally accepted as reasonable within the Open Source community.\nThe license agreement is a legal document in which you state you are entitled to contribute the code/documentation/translation to Transifex and are willing to have it used in distributions and derivative works. This means that should there be any kind of legal issue in the future as to the origins and ownership of any particular piece of code, Transifex has the necessary forms on file from the contributor(s) saying they were permitted to make this contribution.\nThe CLA also ensures that once you have provided a contribution, you cannot try to withdraw permission for its use at a later date. People and companies can therefore use Transifex, confident that they will not be asked to stop using pieces of the code at a later date.\nBeing able to make a clear statement about the origins of the code is very important as Transifex is adopted by large organizations who are necessarily cautious about adopting products with unknown origins. We wish for Transifex to be used and distributed as widely as possible and in order to do this with confidence, we need to be sure about the origins and continuing existence of the code.\nNo. This is one of the reasons we require a CLA. No individual contributor can hold such a threat over the entire community of users. Once you make a contribution, you are saying we can use that piece of code forever.\nTrivial patches like spelling fixes or missing words in the documentation won't require an agreement, since anybody could do those. However, almost anything will require a CLA.\nAs usual, a great deal of awesome things come by standing on the shoulders of giants. In this case it was Django. They've got an excellent CLA page, which we based our own page on.\nUpdated almost 2 years ago", "domain": "law"}

In the inner form and actual meaning of idioms, the image of crime as a violation, types of crimes, punishment as an action for misconduct, types of punishment were imprinted. Crime is projected through the prism of evidence, presence of witnesses, and recognition of guilt as the factor promoting mitigation of punishment. Punishment is associated with stopping of illegal acts, as an indicative example, a mistake in case of unfair charge; punishment can be severe (under the law, not under the law), and idioms describing “assistance to investigation” highlight three concepts at the same time: treachery (giving away accomplices), motive (own benefit) - mitigation of punishment, and help to justice. The corpus data reveal the semantic properties of idioms in contexts, the specificity of meanings that are not fixed in dictionaries, syntactic compatibility.\n- • crime and punishment\n- • image component\n- • meaning of idioms\n- • context\n- • corpus approach\n- Apresyan Yu.

Here are a few of the key adjustments for 2023.\nEstate, Gift, and Generation-Skipping Transfer Tax\n- The annual gift tax exclusion (and annual generation-skipping transfer tax exclusion) for 2023 is $17,000, up from $16,000 in 2022.\n- The gift and estate tax basic exclusion amount (and generation-skipping transfer tax exemption) for 2023 is $12,920,000, up from $12,060,000 in 2022.\nA taxpayer can generally choose to itemize certain deductions or claim a standard deduction on the federal income tax return. In 2023, the standard deduction is:\n- $13,850 (up from $12,950 in 2022) for single filers or married individuals filing separate returns\n- $27,700 (up from $25,900 in 2022) for married joint filers\n- $20,800 (up from $19,400 in 2022) for heads of household\nThe additional standard deduction amount for the blind and those age 65 or older in 2023 is:\n- $1,850 (up from $1,750 in 2022) for single filers and heads of household\n- $1,500 (up from $1,400 in 2022) for all other filing statuses\nSpecial rules apply for those who can be claimed as a dependent by another taxpayer.\nThe combined annual limit on contributions to traditional and Roth IRAs is $6,500 in 2023 (up from $6,000 in 2022), with individuals age 50 or older able to contribute an additional $1,000. The limit on contributions to a Roth IRA phases out for certain modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) ranges (see chart). For individuals who are active participants in an employer-sponsored retirement plan, the deduction for contributions to a traditional IRA also phases out for certain MAGI ranges (see chart). The limit on nondeductible contributions to a traditional IRA is not subject to phaseout based on MAGI.\nNote: The 2023 phaseout range is $218,000–$228,000 (up from $204,000–$214,000 in 2022) when the individual making the IRA contribution is not covered by a workplace retirement plan but is filing jointly with a spouse who is covered. The phaseout range is $0–$10,000 when the individual is married filing separately and either spouse is covered by a workplace plan.\nEmployer-Sponsored Retirement Plans\n- Employees who participate in 401(k), 403(b), and most 457 plans can defer up to $22,500 in compensation in 2023 (up from $20,500 in 2022); employees age 50 or older can defer up to an additional $7,500 in 2023 (up from $6,500 in 2022).\n- Employees participating in a SIMPLE retirement plan can defer up to $15,500 in 2023 (up from $14,000 in 2022), and employees age 50 or older can defer up to an additional $3,500 in 2023 (up from $3,000 in 2022).\nKiddie Tax: Child’s Unearned Income\nUnder the kiddie tax, a child’s unearned income above $2,500 in 2023 (up from $2,300 in 2022) is taxed using the parents’ tax rates.", "domain": "law"}

He discussed mental health problems and abnormal brain structure as causes of crime, which creates ethical issues and debate around the sanity of offenders and leads to the argument of whether they should be answerable for their crimes in the first place.\nOne of the lectures involved the area of Criminal Profiling where there is a large difference in the way Americans and Europeans approach the topic. Europe goes for a more statistical and evidenced based approach, whereas Americans tend to use behavioural analysis of the crime scene and their experience to create a criminal profile.\nA History of Mental Health and the treatments that were once used was also an essential part of the day and we learned how treatment has improved and the conditions and attitudes towards mental health are also changing. There were mentions of the Nature/Nurture debate and how epigenetics has changed how we view the argument; knowing that the environment can change our genetics and our brain structure means that both have a large impact on our behaviour.\nIt was a very enjoyable day that caused us, as students, to think more like degree psychologists rather than AS or A level students – and to think about the bigger picture.", "domain": "law"}

The latest update adds additional protections in the forms of user warnings against Android apps that collect user and device data without permission.\nThe announcement came by way of the Google Security blog and is designed to protect Android device owners from “unwanted and harmful mobile behaviors on Android.”\nThis is primarily for the more common data collection aspects like the user’s phone number and/or email address.

Further still, the announcement also explains that this new measure is not only to account for apps available through the Google Play Store, but any Android app.\nSo downloading an app from somewhere other than the Google Play Store will not circumvent this new protection level that Google is putting in place. The same rules will still apply.\nDuring analytics and crash reportings, the list of installed packages unrelated to the app may not be transmitted from the device without prominent disclosure and affirmative consent.\nAs part of this expanded enforcement, Google Safe Browsing will show warnings on apps and on websites leading to apps that collect a user’s personal data without their consent.\nTherefore, it is in the interest of app developers to ensure their privacy policies account for any data retention, as well as providing an active prompt (and gaining the necessary permission) as suggested under the new Safe Browsing rules.\nStarting in 60 days, this expanded enforcement of Google’s Unwanted Software Policy may result in warnings shown on user devices via Google Play Protect or on webpages that lead to these apps.\nWebmasters whose sites show warnings due to distribution of these apps should refer to the Search Console for guidance on remediation and resolution of the warnings. Developers whose apps show warnings should refer to guidance in the Unwanted Software Help Center.

Parishes must comply with its requirements, just like any other charity or organisation. This guide tells you what you need to do. You may also find our checklist (http://www.parishresources.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/GDPRchecklist.pdf) and sample consent forms helpful (http://www.parishresources.org.uk/gdpr/consent/), and there is a longer briefing note available for people leading on this at parish level (http://www.parishresources.org.uk/wp- content/uploads/Parish-Guide-to-GDPR.pdf).\nExplaining the jargon:\nPersonal data is information about a living individual which is capable of identifying that individual.\nProcessing is anything done with/to personal data, including storing it. The data subject is the person about whom personal data are processed.\nThe data controller is the person or organisation who determines the how and what of data processing, in a parish usually the incumbent or PCC.\nA. Underlying Principles,\nThe law is complex, but there are several underlying principles, including that personal data:\n- will be processed lawfully, fairly and transparently.\n- is only used for a specific processing purpose that the data subject has been made aware of and no other, without further consent.\n- collected on a data subject should be “adequate, relevant and limited.” i.e. only the minimum amount of\ndata should be kept for specific processing.\n- must be “accurate and where necessary kept up to date”\n- should not be stored for longer than is necessary, and\n- Is handled in a way that ensures appropriate security.\nThere is stronger legal protection for more sensitive information, such as religious beliefs.\nB. Consent, Rights and Accountability\n- Consent – if you’re sending direct marketing by post, you don’t need consent. However, if you’re putting someone’s name on a letter or flyer, you’ll need a lawful basis for using their personal data. This also applies if you know the name or other information which can identify the person you’re sending the marketing to.\n- Rights – Data subjects have a number of rights, including that of knowing how data is used by the data\ncontroller, of knowing what data is held about them, of correcting any errors and generally the right ‘to be forgotten’. The PCC will need to make provision for people to exercise these rights, including developing a Privacy Notice.\n- The GDPR introduces a stronger requirement on accountability for data controllers. This means that you must be able to show that you are complying with the principles by providing evidence.\nC. Key Points for Parishes\n- Consent for one element of data processing does not give you permission to do anything else with it. You cannot mail everyone on your electoral roll, or even everyone for whom you have a Gift Aid declaration, with fundraising communications. You need further consent.\n- If the purpose of an individual supplying data to the PCC is clear and unambiguous, then a separate consent is not required. For example, a completed electoral roll application form provides sufficient\nconsent to add them to the roll. Likewise, a completed Gift Aid declaration is sufficient consent for you to claim Gift Aid on the relevant donations. However, as stated above, you can’t then use that data for other purposes.\n- Where you collect consents, e.g. to be added to an email mailing list, you will need to store those consents. You are likely to need several different consent forms (or elements within a single form) to cover different areas of data processing within the life of the church.\n- Note that each incumbent or priest-in-charge is considered to be a separate data controller from their PCC because they are separate legal entities.\n- In our case Richard Pepys acts as Data Controller for the Meon Bridge Benefice.\nD. Further help available…\n- This is a short guide for PCC members.

Data breaches and the fallout from these events can seriously hamper this trust. With the right PCI compliance practices and tools in place, your company can become one that consumers rely on for secure transactions every time.\nThe Modern Landscape of Cyber Security is Fraught with Risk\nThese days, it seems that nearly every news outlet features regular coverage of data breaches and newly-revealed risks to digital data security.\nThis makes sense when you examine the landscape of our modern markets. We do almost all of our shopping online – and most of our payment processing, too. Even brick-and-mortar retailers use digital forms of payment processing. Every time you swipe your card or enter your customer account information into a register, you are handing over your personal and financial data to that retailer, their payment processor, and others.\nIf that sounds concerning, you are not alone. Many consumers report worrying about the inherent risks of doing business this way. However, most of us are not in a position to stop using digital payment processing for our personal or business transactions. This means that nearly all of us are potentially at risk of experiencing data breach events during our lifetimes.\nData Breaches Expose Merchants and Consumers to Numerous Concerns\nHearing the phrase “data breach” may be frightening, but what do they really mean for those involved? More than just a consumer’s personal information being stolen, a breach also involves numerous risks to retailers, payment processors, and everyone else involved in the handling of this data.\nBeyond consumers being really angry, and potentially losing not only their trust but their business – a business may also have to deal with:\n- Hefty fines and fees. Should a breach occur, and you are non-compliant with the PCI DSS, your business could face large fines. Non-compliance for 1-3 months can cost anywhere between $5,000 - $10,000. 4-6 months can run you $25,000-$50,000 per month, while non-compliance for a period of greater than seven months can mean fines of up to $100,000 per month! These fines can spell certain death for an otherwise thriving business, so compliance is all the more important.\n- Legal risks. Consumers can – and often do – bring legal action against businesses that allow their personal information to be stolen.\n- Fraudulent chargebacks. If personal information is obtained and used to make purchases, these purchases can result in chargebacks. These chargebacks cost companies billions each year.\nBIN Attacks and Card Testing and How to Avoid Attacks\nThe first six numbers of a credit card are known as the BIN, or Bank Identification Number. These are always linked to the entity that issued the card. A BIN attack is using a known BIN and systematically generating the remaining digits of a credit card number, usually by using BOTs. Scammers then visit a business’s e-commerce site and begin a process known as brute force card testing. This entails hundreds of rapid e-commerce transactions for small dollar amounts to confirm which card numbers work.\nSmall transactions of less than $1 are typically used in these tests. Small amounts are difficult for fraud detection systems to detect, and most consumers are unaware of them. The valid numbers are then used to conduct significantly larger transactions, resulting in losses for merchants and issuers.\nBIN attack fraud is particularly dangerous because it involves no theft or data breaches—the victim's card number is chosen at random.\nA PCI-compliant payment gateway is the first step in dealing with card testing and other types of e-commerce fraud. The system should contain AVS and CVV matching, as well as current fraud screening solutions. Protocols for preventing fraud, such as 3-D Secure, can also assist in avoiding card testing.\nHow Does PCI Compliance Protect Consumers and Merchants?\nThere are many reasons to minimize the risk of a data breach. Keeping this risk as low as possible is the primary goal of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard or PCI DSS. Ensuring that your payment platform and daily operations are PCI compliant is the first step in ensuring the safety of your customers – and your business.\nWhat exactly is PCI compliance? While the PCI DSS is not a law, it is a sweeping mandate across the entirety of the credit card industry that works to keep consumers safe. Specifically, this mandate exists to safeguard consumer data. Given how much data changes hands every day during financial transactions, it only makes sense for a standard like this to be necessary.\nIn order to accept credit card payments of any type, you must demonstrate and maintain PCI compliance. This standard also applies to your business if it is involved with financial transactions in any way, such as through processing or other services.\nA qualified security assessor or QSA will provide self-evaluation tools for your business to determine your level of PCI compliance. While 100% compliance is obviously the goal, less than 30% of businesses receive this 100% rate during the initial period of evaluation. These evaluations can help a company finetune its everyday operations and payment protocols to raise this compliance level.\nPCI compliance protects consumers by ensuring that their data does not become part of a breach. This protection also boosts business by increasing consumer trust and satisfaction. Safer financial transactions and a higher consumer satisfaction rating make this standard a win-win for companies of all kinds.\nSecurity Scans for PCI Compliance\nOne of the best ways to ensure PCI compliance is through a security scan by an Approved Scanning Vendor.\nThis involves scanning your business’s IP address and network to identify any unauthorized access to the network or security vulnerabilities that could allow for unlawful access to corporate or consumer data.\nBusiness owners should also engage in regular physical inspections of their point-of-sale systems to look for any unusual changes or physical devices that could indicate data siphoning, duplication, or other suspicious activity.\nAll of this is done to ensure that the business and payment processors are not only PCI compliant, but operating in the most efficient way to serve their consumers.\nHow Can Merchants Increase Security for Consumers Beyond PCI Compliance?\nPCI compliance is important, but it is not the only way that merchants can ensure their consumers’ safety and protect against data breaches.

Many landlords get it wrong when claiming tax deductions from the ATO simply because they are unaware of what expenses they can claim back from the ATO.\nAs a landlord, you can claim tax deductions for many of the expenses associated with your property. Some can be claimed immediately, while others are claimed over a number of years. For instance, if you have work done to your property, make sure to make note of whether the work is a repair or an improvement on your property. Repair costs are deductible in the year they occur, but the cost of improvements, ie. Capital costs, become part of the cost base. These figures are then used to calculate your capital gain or capital loss when you eventually sell your property.\nHere is an indication of the type of expenses you are able to claim on your investment property:\n- Council Rates\n- Water Charges\n- Interest on loan(s)\n- Repairs and maintenance\n- Property Agent fees/commission\n- Plant depreciation\n- Sundry rental expenses\n- Capital works deduction\n- Stationary, telephone and postage\n- Body Corporate Fees\n- Travel Expenses\n- Land tax\n- Gardening/ lawn mowing\n- Cleaning Expenses\n- Advertising for Tenants\n- Pest Control\n- Legal Fees\nWhilst the list of possible expenses is extensive, the largest deduction for most people who have taken out a loan to fund an investment, is the mortgage – interest costs. These costs are tax deductible and should be no issue when claiming from the ATO as the interest costs are recorded on the lender’s statement upon repayments. The ATO states that the investor is able to claim 20 per cent of the borrowing expenses, which includes legal expenses and stamp duty, for the first five years after buying the property.\nHowever, a common mistake made investors is to claim the interest costs for the whole 12 months when they have only leased the property fora portion of the year, as a holiday home for example. It is important to ensure that costs being deducted is proportioned to the time the property was rented or was available for rent.\nIn addition, some landlords also make the mistakes of claiming deductions for rental properties not available for rent or overstating deduction claims for the interest on investment loans which have a private proportion.\nIt is critical to be aware of what you as a landlord are able to claim, enabling you to receive the most from your tax reductions. Nevertheless, be sure to claim correctly as costly penalties are set in place by the ATO if your tax claims are incorrect. The ATO offers a comprehensive tax office guide, Rental Properties, which aim to help investors get their tax right. Find this publication at the ATO website.", "domain": "law"}

When it comes to mass email marketing you can literally reach hundreds of thousands of potential customers all with the click of a button and with very little overhead (just the price of your internet connection and website hosting costs).\nThe low cost of this type of advertisement had a downside, companies started sending out millions of messages to unsuspecting email recipients who then started complaining about spam – unsolicited bulk commercial emails.\nThe rocketing number of spam emails that were being sent out created a backlash from the public which eventually led to new laws to prevent the abuse of the email message system, the CAN SPAM laws. These laws basically state that you can’t send out a lot of emails to random email addresses.\nIn order to be in compliance with the law, and not be accused of spamming, there are a few things you need to do:\n1. Your email message must have an accurate ‘from’ heading where you put in your name or the name of your company.\n2. The subject line of your email must be accurate and relate to the actual content of your email.\n3. As the sender, you must provide an actual physical address for you or your company.\n4. Make sure to clearly label your email if it contains adult content.\n5. You cannot have a false header on your email.\n6. You must provide a clear, and free, link for the recipient to ‘unsubscribe’ and if they click on that link they should immediately be removed from your email list and you should never send them another email.\n7. Having an ‘opt-in’ list is probably your very best defense against being accused of spam. This method will encourage your website visitor to sign up to receive your emails. They are giving you permission to send them emails. In order to get them to sign up to your list, you can offer them an incentive such as a free report or a multi-part mini-course that they will receive over a period of a week or so. Whatever you offer them to get them to sign up, make sure it has real value to your subscriber. Take a little time and develop a report that has some real value and substance to it.\nThese are the basics of the law. I’m not an expert or a lawyer to make sure you take a little time and learn all the ins and outs of the CAN SPAM law so that you can make sure your company is in compliance. Don’t let the new laws scare you off from using mass email marketing since it can be a very effective marketing tool for your business.\nIf you take the time to find out what all the regulations are and then you follow them, you will be in compliance and you will be able to add a lot of customers to your business which will eventually lead to a lot more sales, and that’s what we all want.", "domain": "law"}

Yazdani was convicted on charges of blasphemy, incitement, insulting the supreme leader, and spreading anti-regime propaganda, after she publicly condemned the regime’s attacks on protesters and called for justice for her son.\nYazdani’s son, Mohammad Javad Zahedi, was shot several times at close range in the back and head during protests in September 2022. Videos and photos of his body riddled with shotgun pellets went viral on social media, sparking outrage and anger across the country.\nAfter her son’s death, Yazdani bravely spoke out against the regime and its brutal crackdown on protesters. She shared her story with the media and called for justice for her son and others killed in the demonstrations.\nHer activism did not go unnoticed by the authorities. In August 2023, she was arrested at her home and charged with a slew of offences. Her trial was swift and unfair, and she was sentenced to 13 years in prison, with the first five years to be served without parole.\nYazdani’s sentencing is a stark reminder of the Iranian regime’s intolerance of dissent and its willingness to persecute even those who have lost loved ones at the hands of its security forces. It is also a clear message to other families of victims of the regime’s repression that they will be punished if they speak out.\nThe Center for Human Rights in Iran has strongly condemned Yazdani’s sentencing, calling it “disgraceful”. It has also pointed out that hundreds of mothers in Iran have been blocked from pursuing justice for their murdered loved ones while themselves being persecuted for simply raising their voices.\nYazdani’s sentencing comes amid a broader crackdown on dissent in Iran. The regime has been cracking down on protesters, journalists, human rights activists, and anyone else who dares to speak out against it.\nIn recent months, there have been a number of other cases of mothers being persecuted for seeking justice for their sons killed by security forces. For example, the father and sister of Abolfazl Adinezadeh, a 17-year-old shot dead by security forces, were charged with “anti-government propaganda” in May 2023.\nThe international community must speak out against Yazdani’s sentencing and the Iranian regime’s persecution of families of victims of repression.

Meanwhile, a significant proportion of the entries that can be found on the web are false. Astroturf marketing, i.e. buying flattering opinions, is a growing problem also in Poland. The law allows to punish those who pay for positive comments. The penalty can reach up to 10% of the turnover of the year preceding the year of the decision. However, experts claim that proving such an act is difficult.\n- Astroturfing, i.e. buying flattering opinions, is a phenomenon more and more frequently encountered on the Polish market. The Internet is full of offers from various entrepreneurs who want to provide their services in this way. Such an action may be qualified as an unfair market practice. It results directly from the provisions of the Act on Counteracting Unfair Market Practices,' Joanna Affre, advocate and managing partner in the law firm Affre i Wspólnicy, emphasizes in an interview with Newseria Biznes news agency.\nAstroturfing, i.e. the location of artificial grass in English, consists in conducting campaigns which pretend to be the opinions of ordinary consumers. More and more companies and agencies, also in Poland, offer to entrepreneurs who introduce a product to the market or want to improve its perception, creating a positive climate around the product or service. According to some researchers, the problem is large and even several dozen percent of all opinions on the web are false.\n- Impersonating yourself as a consumer when you are not one, and writing comments under products or services, thus spreading flattering or unflattering comments about your competitors by traders always misleads consumers. They obtain false information and create a false impression of the authenticity of the phenomenon. This can be qualified as an unfair market practice. Then the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection may enter the game - explains Joanna Affre.\nUnder the provisions of the Act on Counteracting Unfair Market Practices and the Act on Competition and Consumer Protection, the President of the Office for Competition and Consumer Protection has the right to fight against such action. Both agencies that offer such activities and entrepreneurs who buy them are subject to penalties.\n- If the President of the office considers that such actions constitute an infringement, he may initiate proceedings and impose penalties of up to 10% of the turnover of the year preceding the year of the decision. These may also be soft actions, i.e. asking entrepreneurs to stop such actions and thus terminate the proceedings - says the attorney.\nHowever, in many situations companies are unpunished, mainly due to the difficulty of proving such an act to them. The institution of a mysterious client, often used e.g. in the West, may prove helpful. In the United States, in one of the cases the prosecutor impersonated an entrepreneur who wants to buy positive comments, obtained offers and with them also evidence.\n- The President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection could also use the institution of a mysterious customer to gather evidence in such proceedings. He would also have a lot of work to do when browsing Polish websites - emphasises Joanna Affre. - Certainly, actions taken by dishonest entrepreneurs distort consumers' decisions about purchasing products or services in a very important way.\nThis is all the more so because more and more customers first read the opinions about them that are posted by internet users before buying a product or using the services of a given company.", "domain": "law"}

Should you disclose? Should you ask for accommodations during the hiring process?\nWhether or not you choose to disclose, it’s important to be aware of the law. Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) makes it illegal for an employer to discriminate against a qualified applicant with a disability, and it applies to private employers with 15 or more employees, as well as to all state and local government employers.\nAn applicant with a disability, like all other applicants, must be able to meet the employer's requirements for the job-- including education, training, employment experience, and skills. In addition, they must be able to perform the \"essential functions\" of the job-- either on their own or with the help of \"reasonable accommodation.\" An employer does not have to provide a reasonable accommodation if it will cause \"undue hardship,\" meaning, if it’s significantly difficult or expensive.\nThis fact sheet, adapted from the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission’s website, answers some common questions about accommodations during the job search process:\n1. I have a disability and will need an accommodation for the job interview. Does the ADA require an employer to provide me with one?\nYes. Employers are required to provide \"reasonable accommodation\" -- appropriate changes and adjustments -- to enable you to be considered for a job opening. Reasonable accommodation may also be required to enable you to perform a job, gain access to the workplace, and enjoy the \"benefits and privileges\" of employment available to employees without disabilities. An employer cannot refuse to consider you because you require a reasonable accommodation to compete for or perform a job.\n2. Can an employer refuse to provide me with an accommodation because it is too difficult or too expensive?\nAn employer does not have to provide a specific accommodation if it would cause an \"undue hardship\"-- that is, if it would require significant difficulty or expense. However, an employer cannot refuse to provide an accommodation solely because it entails some costs, either financial or administrative.\nIf the requested accommodation causes an undue hardship, the employer still would be required to provide another accommodation that does not.\nExample: A company conducts job interviews in a second floor office. There is no elevator. The company calls Tanya to arrange for an interview for a position. She requests a reasonable accommodation because she uses a wheelchair. Installing an elevator would be a undue hardship, but the employer could conduct the interview in a first floor office. The employer must move the location of the interview as a reasonable accommodation.\n3. What are some examples of \"reasonable accommodations\" that may be needed during the hiring process?\nReasonable accommodation can take many forms. Ones that may be needed during the hiring process include (but are not limited to):\nproviding written materials in accessible formats, such as large print, braille, or audio files\nproviding readers or sign language interpreters\nensuring that recruitment, interviews, tests, and other components of the application process are held in accessible locations\nproviding or modifying equipment or devices\nadjusting or modifying application policies and procedures.\nExample: John is blind and applies for a job as a customer service representative. John could perform this job with assistive technology, such as a program that reads information on the screen. If the company wishes to have John demonstrate his ability to use the computer, it must provide appropriate assistive technology as a reasonable accommodation.\nExample: An employer requires job applicants to line up outside its facility to apply for a job, a process that could take several hours. Tara has multiple sclerosis and that makes her unable to tolerate prolonged exposure to temperatures in the 90's. Tara therefore requests that she be allowed to wait indoors where it is air conditioned until the human resources department is ready to take her application. The employer would need to modify its hiring procedure to accommodate Tara.\n4. Because of my learning disability, I need extra time to complete a written test. Does the ADA require an employer to modify the way a test is given to me?\nYes. An employer may have to provide testing materials in alternative formats or make other adjustments to tests as an accommodation for you. The format and manner in which a test is given may pose problems for persons with impaired sensory, speaking, or manual skills, as well as for those with certain learning disabilities. For example, an applicant who is blind will not be able to read a written test, but can take the test if it is provided in braille or the questions are recorded. A deaf person will not understand oral instructions, but these could be provided in a written format. A 30-minute timed written test may pose a problem for a person whose learning disability requires additional time.\nThus, the ADA requires that employers give application tests in a format or manner that does not require use of your impaired skill, unless the test is designed to measure that skill.\nExample: An employer gives a written test for a proofreading position. The employer does not have to offer this test in a different format (e.g., orally) to an applicant who has dyslexia because the job itself requires an ability to read.\n5. When do I have to tell an employer that I need an accommodation for the hiring process?\nIt is best to let an employer know as soon as you realize that you will need a reasonable accommodation for some aspect of the hiring process. An employer needs advance notice to provide many accommodations, such as alternative formats for written documents, and adjusting the time allowed for taking a written test. An employer may also need advance notice to arrange an accessible location for a test or interview.\nAsking for an Accommodation\n6. How do I request a reasonable accommodation?\nYou should inform the employer that you need some sort of adjustment to the application/interviewing process orally or in writing. It may take some time for them to arrange it, so you should give them as much notice as possible.\n7. What happens after I request an accommodation?\nThe employer may need to discuss your request more fully in order to understand your disability and why you need an accommodation. You should respond to the employer's questions as quickly as possible and be sure to explain how a proposed accommodation would enable you to participate fully in all aspects of the application/interviewing process. If your disability and need for accommodation are not obvious, the employer may ask you for reasonable documentation explaining the disability and why an accommodation is needed.\nExample: A tech company requires applicants to take a written test. Rodney has dyslexia and requests extra time for the exam, as a reasonable accommodation. The human resources associate is unfamiliar with dyslexia and requests information about the condition and why the accommodation is necessary. Rodney must provide this information.\n8. I asked for a specific accommodation, but the employer offered me a different one instead. Do I have to accept it?\nAn employer has to offer an accommodation that will meet your needs. If more than one accommodation meets your needs, then the employer may choose which one to provide. You cannot insist on a specific accommodation only because it is a personal preference. If the employer's proposal does not meet your needs, then you need to explain why.\nExample: Charles is blind and asks that a written test be read to him as a reasonable accommodation. The employer proposes to provide Charles with a braille version of the test, but Charles explains that he cannot read braille. Thus, a braille version would not be an effective accommodation. The employer then proposes to provide Charles with a recording of the test directions. While Charles preferred to have someone read the questions to him, the recorded version meets his needs and thus is acceptable as a reasonable accommodation.\nDiscussing Disability with the Potential Employer\nThe ADA prohibits employers from asking questions that are likely to reveal the existence of a disability before making a job offer (i.e., the pre-offer period). This prohibition covers written questionnaires and inquiries made during interviews, as well as medical examinations. However, such questions and medical examinations are permitted after extending a job offer but before the individual begins work (i.e., the post-offer period).\n9. What are examples of questions that an employer cannot ask on an application or during an interview?\nExamples of prohibited questions during the pre-offer period include:\nDo you have a heart condition? Do you have asthma or any other difficulties breathing?\nDo you have a disability which would interfere with your ability to perform the job?\nHow many days were you sick last year?\nHave you ever filed for workers' compensation? Have you ever been injured on the job?\nHave you ever been treated for mental health problems?\nWhat prescription drugs are you currently taking?\n10. May the employer ask me these questions after making a job offer?\nYes. An employer can ask all of the questions listed in Question 9, and others that are likely to reveal the existence of a disability, after it extends you a job offer as long as it asks the same questions of other applicants offered the same type of job. In other words, an employer cannot ask such questions only of those who have obvious disabilities. Similarly, an employer may require a medical examination after making a job offer as long as it requires the same medical examination of other applicants offered the same type of job.\n11. May an employer ask me whether I will need a reasonable accommodation for the hiring process?\nYes. An employer may tell all applicants what the hiring process involves (for example, an interview, timed written test, or job demonstration), and then ask whether they will need a reasonable accommodation for this process. (See Question 16 for a discussion about employers asking about an applicant's need for reasonable accommodation for the job.)\n12. I have an obvious disability. Can an employer ask me medical questions during an interview?\nNo. Except as explained in Question 15 below, an employer cannot ask questions about an applicant's disability either because it is visible or because the applicant has voluntarily disclosed a hidden disability.\n13. After I got a job offer, the employer had me take a medical examination in which I revealed I have epilepsy. Can the employer withdraw my job offer?\nWhile the employer had the right to require a post-offer medical examination, he cannot withdraw the job offer solely because you revealed you have a disability. Instead, the employer can withdraw the job offer only if it can show that you are unable to perform the essential functions of the job (with or without reasonable accommodation), or that you pose a significant risk of causing substantial harm to yourself or others.\nExample: Darla receives a job offer to be a cook at a hotel resort, and during the medical examination she discloses that she has epilepsy. The hotel doctor expresses concern about Darla working around stoves and using sharp utensils. Darla tells the doctor that her seizures are controlled with medication and offers to bring information from her neurologist to answer the doctor's concerns. Darla also points out that she has worked as a cook for seven years without any incidents. The hotel will violate the ADA if it withdraws Darla's job offer based on her epilepsy.\n14. During the hiring process, I gave the employer medical information that I do not want anyone else to know about. Must the employer keep this information confidential?\nYes. The ADA contains strict confidentiality requirements. Medical information revealed during the hiring process (pre- or post-offer) must be kept confidential, with certain exceptions. The confidentiality requirements protect both information voluntarily revealed as well as information revealed in response to an employer's written or oral questions or during a medical examination.\nAn employer may share medical information with other decision-makers involved in the hiring process who need it so they can make employment decisions consistent with the ADA. The ADA also permits an employer to share medical information with the following individuals:\nsupervisors and managers may be told about necessary restrictions on the work or duties of an employee and about reasonable accommodations\nfirst aid and safety personnel may be told if the disability might require emergency treatment\ngovernment officials investigating compliance with the ADA\nstate workers' compensation offices, state second injury funds, or workers' compensation insurance carriers.\nAn employer also may use the information for insurance purposes.\nDiscussing Accommodation to Perform the Job\n15. May an employer ask applicants on an application form or during an interview whether they will need reasonable accommodation to perform the job?\nGenerally, no. An employer cannot ask all applicants whether they would need reasonable accommodation to perform a job because the answer to this question is likely to reveal whether an applicant has a disability.\nHowever, if the employer knows that an applicant has a disability, and it is reasonable to question whether the disability might pose difficulties for the individual in performing a specific job task, then the employer may ask whether she would need reasonable accommodation to perform that task. An employer might know that an applicant has a disability because it is obvious or she has voluntarily revealed the existence of one. If the applicant indicates that accommodation will be necessary, then the employer may ask what accommodation is needed.\nExample: Carl has a severe limp and uses a cane because of his prosthetic leg. He applies for a job which does not require employees to move around but does require that they stand for long periods of time. The employer asks Carl about his ability to stand and whether he will need reasonable accommodation to perform the job. Carl replies that he will need accommodation. The employer asks Carl for examples of accommodations, and Carl suggests two possibilities: a tall stool so that he can sit down but still reach the necessary equipment, or alternatively, a \"sit-stand\" chair which will provide support and enable him to do the job.\nAlso, if the employer believes an applicant with an obvious disability will need a reasonable accommodation to do the job, it may ask the applicant to describe or demonstrate how she would perform the job with or without reasonable accommodation.\nExample: Alberto uses a wheelchair and applies for a job that involves retrieval of files that would seem to be beyond his reach. The employer can show him the files and ask him to explain or demonstrate how he would perform this task.\n16. Do I have to tell the employer during the application process that I might need an accommodation to perform the job?\nNo. The ADA does not require that an applicant inform an employer about the need for a reasonable accommodation at any particular time, so this information need not be volunteered on an application form or in an interview.\nDetermining the best moment to tell a prospective employer about the need for reasonable accommodation on the job is a personal decision. Sometimes, applicants are not aware they may need a reasonable accommodation until they have more information about the job, its requirements, and the work environment. Some applicants choose to inform an employer during the application process after they better understand the job and its requirements. Others choose to wait until they have a job offer.\nBeing \"Qualified\" for the Job\n17. What if my disability prevents me from performing some job duties?\nAn employer does not have to hire you if you are unable to perform all of the essential functions of the job, even with reasonable accommodation. However, an employer cannot reject you only because the disability prevents you from performing minor duties that are not essential to the job.\nExample: Wei is deaf and applies for an position. The essential functions for this job are to research and write materials. While the job description states that the employee must also answer the phone, in practice the person in the role rarely does this because other employees have responsibility for this duty. The employer cannot reject Wei solely because she is unable to answer the phone since that is not an essential part of performing this job.\n18. Can an employer refuse to hire me because she believes that my disability makes it unsafe for me to perform a job?\nAn employer can refuse to hire you only if your disability poses a significant risk of substantial harm to you or others. If an employer has such concerns, he must seek appropriate information to assess the level of risk and the nature of the harm. This can include asking questions about prior work experience and requesting specific information from your doctor related to health and safety.\nAn employer cannot refuse to hire you based on a slightly increased risk, speculation about future risk, or generalizations about your disability. The employer must also consider whether a risk can be eliminated or reduced to an acceptable level with a reasonable accommodation.\nExample: An employer learns during a post-offer medical examination that Simone has depression. She has been offered a high-level managerial position, but the employer is concerned that the job will be too stressful, causing Simone's illness to worsen. Simone's depression is well-controlled with medication and she has been working for two years in a similar position with no effect on her depression or her performance. Based on this information, Simone's disability would not pose a high level of risk of harm and therefore the employer could not refuse to hire her based on fears that she will experience an increased number of depressive episodes or that she would be unable to perform the job.\nObtaining More Information about the ADA\n19. How can I get more information about the ADA?\nYou can obtain more information about the ADA and its requirements through EEOC's website, https://www.dor.ca.gov. This website contains documents addressing various ADA issues, including the following:\nThese documents can also be obtained by calling EEOC's Publications Distribution Center at:\nAlso available from the Center is the ADA Technical Assistance Manual, a practical and comprehensive explanation of all of the ADA employment provisions. The Manual comes with a nationwide resource directory. All documents are free and available in alternative formats.\nTo obtain more information about the ADA, contact the EEOC at:\nOther Accommodations Resources\nWhen it comes to self-instituted accommodations, both Apple and Microsoft offer an array of accessibility resources. There are many accessibility features already possible with their products, many of which most customers are unaware. You may be able to incorporate shortcuts and features into your workflow by following the guidelines they provide.\nFor a searchable database of accommodations for employees with disabilities, JAN is a great place to start. The website also offers a template for accommodations letter, info to share with employers that gives advice on how to work with employees with particular disabilities, and a nice collection of publications that could help you talk about your needs, should you decide to disclose them.\nThe Department of Rehabilitation is a department of government run by the state of California. Most states have similar departments, also known as “vocational rehabilitation” in other states. Regardless of what they’re called, they have a similar mission: to that assist individuals with disabilities and help them obtain and retain employment. Some of the services offered include career assessment and counseling, help with job searches, training and interview skill coaching. DOR can also help by providing assistive technology to support students at their workplace.", "domain": "law"}

The majority of these will be overcome although a few children will need extra help for some or all of their time in school.\nAs a school we aim to fulfil the principles of the Code of Practice:\n• All children with special educational needs should have their needs met\n• The special educational needs of children will normally be met in mainstream schools\n• The views of the child should be sought and taken into account where ever possible\n• Parents have a vital role in supporting their child’s education and their views should be taken into account\n• Children with special educational needs should have a broad, balanced and relevant education\nThe school’s policy details how this school will do its best to ensure that the necessary provision is made for any pupil who has special educational needs and that those needs are made known to all who are likely to teach them. We aim to identify children with special educational needs as early as possible. We aim to work closely with parents and recognise that partnership with parents can help to identify and recognise underlying causes for the child’s behaviour or needs.

Smoking medicinal cannabis is not permitted by local or international Health authorities.\n- Secondly, approved medicines used in Barbados are produced under strict conditions to ensure efficacy and safety. It is important that medical doctors know that medicines have been tested and are standardized by dose and therapeutic response. This means doctors can monitor the effects of the drug and doses can be adjusted according to a patient’s needs.\nIt is understood that smoked cannabis will not be prescribed in Barbados because smoked plant products will not satisfy governmental requirements.\n- How will medicinal cannabis be accessed by pharmacies and doctors for prescription to patients?\nThe Barbados Medicinal Cannabis Licensing Authority grants licenses to facilitate the cultivation, processing, transport and dispensing of medicinal cannabis to patients. The Medicinal Cannabis Industry Act, 2019 outlines that medicinal cannabis products can be prescribed by a medical practitioner. A Pharmacy with a retail distributor's license can dispense medicinal cannabis when presented by a patient with a prescription and a valid form of identification.\nCurrently, there are five legally-approved medicinal cannabis drugs, placed on the National Drug Formulary for specific indications, via approval from the Minister of Health and Wellness utilising Section 12 of the Drug Abuse (Control and Prevention) Act Cap 131.\nPlease speak to your doctor or pharmacist for more information on accessing medicinal cannabis.\nWhat are the short-term effects of cannabis use or THC based products?\nEveryone's response to cannabis differs and can vary from one time to the next.\nLike any other drug, cannabis can:\n- Impair your ability to drive safely or operate heavy equipment\n- It can cause drowsiness, slow reaction times, lower your ability to pay attention and impair coordination\n- Affect your mental capacity\n- Impair your concentration, memory and decision-making, and can impact your ability to perform well on the job or at school.\n- Cause euphoria (a high) it can also cause anxiety or panic.\n- In rare cases, cannabis can trigger a psychotic episode (not knowing what is real, experiencing paranoia, having disorganized thoughts and, in some cases, hallucinating).\n   World Health Organization (WHO). The health and social effects of nonmedical cannabis use.\nWhat are the long-term effects of cannabis use?\nUsing cannabis frequently (daily or almost daily) and over a long time (several months or years) can:\n- Hurt your lungs and make it harder to breathe, if smoked\n- Cannabis smoke may contain many of the same harmful chemicals found in tobacco smoke\n- Affect your mental health\n- Frequent use of THC based products over a long time increases the risk of cannabis dependence\n- Increased risk of developing psychotic disorders\n- Early exposure of cannabis use during the adolescent years can impair brain development and functioning\n- Increased risk of cardiovascular disease\n Weinstein, AM, Cohen, K. Synthetic and Non-synthetic Cannabinoid Drugs and Their Adverse Effects-A Review from Public Health Prospective. Frontiers in Public Health 2018; 6:1-8. doi: 10.3389/fpubh.2018.00162.\nWhat are the effects of cannabis on pregnancy and breastfeeding?\nCannabis use is discouraged during pregnancy and during nursing. Substances in cannabis can transfer from the mother to child and can affect your unborn or newborn baby.\nHow will side effects be dealt with as they are noted by the medical community?\nLike any other prescribed medication, the administration of prescribed medicinal cannabis will be under supervision and monitoring by your doctor so to minimise harm, or negative interact to a patient. Factors like medical history, allergies, pregnancy, breastfeeding, co-morbidities, other medications that a patient may be taking will all be taken into consideration along with regular checkups.", "domain": "law"}

It is also not allowed to have an open mug, bottle, or can of beer in the car while sitting or driving. As long as the bottle has a broken seal, whether you are drinking or not, you will be in serious trouble once the police get you. This law that prohibits you from having an open liquor bottle in your car is called Open Container Law. It took effect in September 2001.\nDefining an Open Container Law Violation\nAccording to Texas Law, you go against Texas’ open container law if you have an open container of alcohol or liquor in the passenger area of a vehicle that is on a public highway. An open container can be an open bottle, a flask, container, or a can. Under this law, it doesn’t matter if the car is parked or moving.\nThe good side is that there are exemptions to this. The Open container law does not apply to motor vehicles that transport people who are paying for the service of being transported. These are vehicles like buses, limousines, and taxis. In these vehicles, it is okay to have open containers.\nAnother exemption is if an open container is found in a glove compartment, a trunk, or the back of the last upright seat then you won’t be charged. Vehicles that are designed to be homes such as campers and motor-homes are also exempted from this law.\nPenalties for an Open Container DWI Offense\nIf an officer from the Houston Police Department charges you with an open container law violation, he or she will write you a ticket. You must sign the ticket as a promise to show up in court. If you are found guilty, then you are accused of a Class C Misdemeanor offense. You will be required to pay a fine of $500 with no jail term.\nHowever, possessing an open container could attract DWI penalties if you were at the time driving while intoxicated. The sentence for a DWI offense is usually a minimum of 3 days but in this case, a DWI offense involving an open container is usually 6 days on the minimum. Your charges may also be severe if it is discovered that you violated DWI probation.\nNot only that, the offense could affect other areas of your life like your education and career. You may end up missing out on important opportunities such as financial aid, scholarships, and work-study among others.\nHow To Fight A Houston Open Container Law Charge\nThere are ways you can escape from the open container law charge. With the help of a good DWI attorney, you can get a good defense leading to the charges being dropped. Some of the evidence that the court will need is you owning the container at the time you were stopped by a police officer and the container being opened. If there is no evidence, the charge may be dismissed.\nAnother defense is if the police were on an unlawful search at the time, then the evidence could be dismissed and the charge brought against you would have to be dropped.\nWhat to Do When the HPD Pulls You Over\nIt is always good to know how to act and what to do when a police officer pulls you over. When you get stopped by a police officer, be cooperative but do not give them information that they have not asked for. Also, allow them to search your car if need be. Note that it is better if they perform their drinking driving tests instead of going to a hospital to have a BAC test.\nIn conclusion, all the penalties and consequences associated with violation of the open container law are not worth it. Always make sure you store your open containers in the trunk before you start driving.", "domain": "law"}

While the discussion was centred on the two titles of Registered Psychotherapist and Registered Mental Health Therapist, there were also other very important changes in the draft regulations.\nThe Two Titles\nThe two options discussed for the Registered Mental Health Therapist Title were to have the RP and RMHT titles have the same registration requirements (the practitioner would be able to choose which title to use) or to include the RP title in the revised regulations and reserve the RMHT title for future use.\nAt the January 16, 2013 meeting, the Registration Regulation Committee announced that it had chosen to shelve the RMHT title and only proceed with the RP title. This was done in consultation with the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care and with the full support of the Ministry. The main reason cited for using only one title was to avert any possible public confusion and, thus, enhance public protection.\nEducation and Training Requirements\nIn the earliest drafts of the Registration Regulations, the requirement of a Master’s degree as ONE option for licensure was included. At the Ministry’s direction, this requirement was removed and only competency-based criteria were included. In the newest draft of the regulations, a Master’s degree has again been included as ONE of the options, as the Ministry now feels that this can be included. Competencies are no longer referenced but will be used as guidelines by the TC. The other options remain the same.\nThe clause now reads:\n“ii. a master’s degree, which includes at least ten (10) semester courses (360) hours of training and education central to the practice of psychotherapy, recognized by the Registration Committee or a body that is approved by the Registration Committee; or”\nIn addition, the following was added\n“The Registration Committee or a body approved by the Registration Committee shall not recognize a program unless one of its core components is to develop competency in the safe and effective use of self in the psychotherapeutic relationship.”\nThe grandparenting option required that candidates have at least 500 currency hours in Ontario. This has been changed to in Canada. This is an extremely important change, as we have many practitioners who practise across the Quebec-Ontario and Ontario-Manitoba borders.\nCitizenship, Residency, Work Status\nFormer clauses 2(1) 5, 3(1) 2 and 3(1) 3 that were related to citizenship, residency and work status were eliminated. As part of the NAFTA agreement, they cannot be included in the regulations.\nDefinition of Currency Hours\nThis definition has been revised to include \"other professional activities that impact the practice of psychotherapy.\" Examples of this would be teaching, supervising, research, serving on regulatory bodies.\nClause 5(1) 3 has been amended to read “The applicant must have successfully completed clinical experience that includes at least 450 direct client contact hours and at least 100 hours of clinical supervision related to these client contact hours. This clinical experience must not commence before the commencement of the educational program referred to in paragraph 1.”\nThe change was made for clarity.\nThe motion to accept these revised regulations and to allow them to be circulated for stakeholder feedback passed by a majority vote of the council.\nThe Professional Misconduct Regulation was approved by the Lieutenant-Governor-in-Council and filed with the Registrar of Regulations on October 19, 2012 as O. Reg. 317/12. The regulation, which will come into force on the day the Psychotherapy Act, 2007 is proclaimed, is posted here to the e-Laws website.\nPlease refer any questions or comments to CRPO.", "domain": "law"}

They are ‘designer’ drugs which are created to simulate the effects of street-drugs, whilst bypassing both the side-effects and the law.\nThe most common synthetic drugs are synthetic amphetamines and synthetic marijuana.\nShockingly both can be bought in retail, but their street name’s are ‘Bath salts’ and K2 or Spice respectively.\nThe law is constantly trying to adapt to the different ingredients that are being chemically engineered to copy street-drugs – this combined with the fact that they’re often sold as innocent ‘Bath salts’ or ‘incense’ means that synthetic drugs are both readily available and very difficult to combat.\nThis article will highlight the most common synthetic drugs, their effects, and their consequences.\nWhat are Bath salts?\nBath salts are the slang term for a synthetic drug that simulates the effects of cocaine and/or amphetamines. The active agent within the drug that causes the high is mephedrone in Europe and MDPV in the US..\nBath salts are often misrepresented as plant food. This combined with packaging that advertises the fact that it is not fit for human consumption gives the drug a good chance to avoid the law.\nWhat are Spice and K2?\nSpice and K2 are essentially the same thing – synthetic marijuana. They consist of synthetic cannabinoids that mimic the effects of marijuana, however they are advertised as a legal high.\nBoth its affordability and availability make it a very popular drug. Its commonly seen as the legal alternative to marijuana.\nWhat are the Consequences\nSynthetic drug users often labour under the misapprehension that due to the fact that these drugs were designed to simulate street-drugs, they don’t have the same side effects. This is not the case.\nThe potential side effects are typically behavioural. Whether this is due to their addiction/dependency on the drug, or as a direct biological result is unknown. Regardless of being synthetic, these drugs still have the potential to ruin lives and should not be seen as a safe, legal alternative to street drugs.\nWhat are the Side Effects\nSide effects of synthetic marijuana are quite similar to those of real marijuana – they include paranoia, vomiting, increased blood pressure, increased heart rate, hallucinations, and the classic marijuana symptom, dilated pupils.\nSimilarly the side effects of Bath salts are similar to those they mimic (cocaine, LSD etc.). They can include increased blood pressure and heart rate, severe paranoia, and hallucinations with the potential to cause damage to themselves and those around them.\nWhat is the Law doing?\nThere is a rising awareness for the dangers of synthetic drugs. Yet the dangers aren’t fully appreciated, in America only 42 states have actually banned the sale of synthetic drugs. The reason for this is the producers are constantly trying to keep ahead of the authorities – by synthesizing new drugs, they can’t be seen as illegal and can therefore technically be sold as legal highs till the authorities catch up with the newest ingredients.\nAs more and more synthetic drugs are banned, newer synthetics are created. The frightening fact is that those who create the drugs won’t care about side effects, as long as it achieves the desired high. These new synthetics have the potential to cause serious harm if this problem cannot be dealt with efficiently.\nWhat is the Reality\nDesigner drugs are still drugs. There is a rising misconception that these are safe, legal highs; which they are not. Like any drug they have the potential to cause serious damage both to the user and those around them.\nAs with any drug there is the potential to develop an addiction. Synthetic drugs manufacturers attempt to give their products an innocent image. This can lead to naivety when dealing with these drugs. If a synthetic drug user develops an addiction, they could potentially believe its not possible to get hooked on synthetic drugs, meaning they don’t acknowledge their problem, and don’t get help.\nPeople will use and experiment with new drugs, it is an unavoidable fact of society – but if this image of safe, synthetic drug continues then people will get hurt. They risk their health and their relationships, this can be avoided if synthetic drugs are viewed with the same sense of illegality, risk and taboo that street drugs are viewed with.\nThis guest post was provided by Stanely Martinson.

The repeal of net neutrality gives cable companies the authority to throttle traffic, censor online free speech and charge new fees that veterans can’t afford. If you are a US veteran or active-duty service member, please sign this open letter calling on our elected officials in Congress to restore net neutrality.\nDear Member of Congress,\nWe are US veterans calling on our elected officials in Congress to protect the free and open internet. Veterans, military families, and service members rely on the Internet to keep in touch with loved ones overseas and access essential services at home. The open Internet allows American small businesses to thrive, and has created new jobs — in the tech field and others — that veterans urgently need.\nThe loss of net neutrality will allow cable companies to throttle services to online communities used by service members, censor free speech, and charge new fees that veterans can’t afford. The end of net neutrality jeopardizes access to VA telemedicine, streaming video calls, even online banking... all services veterans and our families rely on.\nAs veterans, we have served and we have sacrificed. When we put on the uniform we were told it was to defend basic freedoms for all. We are deeply concerned those same freedoms will not be protected without strong, enforceable net neutrality. As a result, we are asking our representatives to sign the discharge petition and vote for the Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution to reverse the FCC’s repeal and restore open Internet protections that are essential for American’s online freedom.\nThank you for considering our views.\nThousands of veterans from all five branches of service have signed this open letter to Congress, urging our lawmakers to listen to the voices of the people and overturn the FCC's repeal of net neutrality. These are just a few comments from men and women who feel that the destruction of net neutrality is counter to the values they have fought to protect:\n“Net neutrality is tantamount to freedom of speech. Anyone who tries to interfere with one of the most fundamental of American rights is a traitor. Once again, American values are being sold to corporate interests by those that are supposed to representing the citizens.” Jackie Critser\n“I'm very disappointed that I'll have to tell my grandchildren that I fought in a war so that the US could stay involved in politics in the middle east, but all I did to preserve one of the most American things about us (free internet) was sign a stupid petition. Please do something. Nothing worse than a bunch of pissed off military service members.” Tim Barber, USMC\n“I am a veteran who is in school for Information Technology. The loss of net neutrality has not done anything to improve the internet access. It will only damage the infrastructure of US internet as prices for connections increase without any improvements to speed. As a veteran whos future income is tied to high internet speeds without data caps, this is a large concern.” James W. Bryant, United States Marine Corps\n“USAF, Desert Storm Era. I know firsthand what a vital tool the Internet is for veterans, and particularly when it comes to those deployed overseas, it becomes literally a lifeline. The net should be treated as traffic-neutral; any other method is simply not sustainable and flies in the face of the Internet's design.” Kelly Luck\n“We've seen what happens when big business is give free reign. It consumes without thought or conscience. Now it threatens to consume communication and information that people need to stay informed - a form of freedom I as a military member swore to protect. Return to net neutrality.” Lorianne Arwood, Air Force\n“I stood up for freedom when my country needed me, now I need my country to stand up for freedom. Protect Net Neutrality, please.” Pat Taber, Army\n“Freedom is what america stands for, not helping the rich get richer by taking advantage of what has free reign and marketing it and restricting the use of th8ngs like the internet. Net neutrality, in my eyes is upheld by the 1st amendment, freedom of speach. If the fcc has the right to block, charge extra or even limit what we are exposed to, that is an infringement on our rights as american citizens. I, as a vet am completely appalled by the government to even let this be considered.” Marcus Gioia\n“I was always told the airwaves were owned by the people and leased to corporations. If that is in fact true, then we the people should have a say in how & to whom they are leased. Just because our govt. dropped the ball on 9/11 should not mean we the people should pay an indefinite price for their mistake. It is past time that the American people should have a say in what is rightfully theirs. Net neutrality should be the law, not net monopoly.” Gordon LeMons, USMC\n“Please don't let this be another way that our government let's down veterans. Stand for what you k ow is right.” Jennifer Welling, Air Force Veteran\n“This hurts aging vets who have to live on small fixed incomes.” Carl Fussell, Army\n“Open free speech is not a commercial commodity. It is lifeline to all whether it is to promote commerce or family communications. The FCC ruling censors that by allowing providers control over access. That is wrong. Those in the service of this country rely on open communication with loves ones.” John L Aponick\n“Couldnt agree more, I signed up to defend freedom not what some faceless corporation determines what my freedom will be. Freedom is Freedom.” Bill Deboer, USMC\n“Free exchange of ideas as the Constitution permits is just a part what we were serving to protect.” Raymond C. Bryan\n“As a U.S. veteran, the freedom of the Internet has meant everything to me. It belongs to everyone in the form it started. Some gave all, and some served longer but at 21+ years I would not want it tampered with by the politicians, the FCC and big business billionaire companies that paid them to disrupt and/or take away one more of the freedoms that we enjoy as United States citizens.” Eric Bollin, Army\n“We need open access to the internet... The private sector did not create the internet... they need to keep their hands and profit seeking off the need. we need open communication without interference!” Thomas Unthank, Army | Signal Corp\n“This is a no-brainer to everyone who is not a telecom lobbyist.” Matthew Twomey, Army\n“As an educator, the thought of an individual being able to slow down, limit or restrict access to information based on their personal beliefs is terrifying. As a Gunnery Sergeant in the Marines it is a slap in the face to all those whom fight to protect the constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic, and they are spitting on the graves of all those who died to protect the same.” Luis Garcia\n“Disgraceful. Is THIS what we risked our lives for? For big and fancy people and business control what the little people can and can't do? If I would've known this would happen I wouldn't have signed up. Screw YOU Ajit Pai! And Trump? What the hell, man? I VOTED for you! Next time you better count my ass out!” James Walter\n“When I served to defend \"The Land of the Free,\" I never imagined an Internet. I'd like to think that Freedom could be applied to the internet, though. My nephew is now serving and he relies on his daily contact with his wife and two young sons. For ONCE please start thinking beyond your precious Bottom Line and the donors to whom you are probably \"beholdin'.\" Think of those who serve. And serve THEM for a change.” Clifford Niven\n“Breaking net neutrality is an attack on the American values of free speech; my oath, even retired, demands that I oppose these actions. Reinstitute net neutrality!” Victor B Putz Jr, USAF\n“Taking away net neutrality is a red flag to me and probably to many in our country that our democracy is slipping away and that the profit and power of the elite is more important than the welfare and dignity of the citizens of this country. Please send the right message this time to your constituents and restore net neutrality. It will go a long way in helping to restore the trust we have in our government !” Marty E Levin, army\n“I am an Army Signal Corps veteran who worked at a Detroit non-profit (now retired) to provide computer training, technology and connectivity to the under-served of our community in an effort to bridge the Digital Divide. The loss of Net Neutrality cripple those efforts to provide low income folks the access to very vital digital communication.” Anthony Semanik, Army\n“\"Drain the swamp!\" End political appointment of corporate shills. (Yes, I'm talking about you, Ajit Pai.)” Glen Neff, Army\n“The internet is what makes it possible for me to take care of my families needs while deployed. Communication, banking, bill paying, even the administration of deployments themselves require internet. There are plenty of cases where corporations screw over those in uniform, so many places where a service is denied just because I put on the uniform. It needs to stop. Bring back real internet protections for those of us that really need them through Title 2 oversight.” Edward S. Savich, United States Navy\n“Corporate influence in Congress has corrupted the values I lost my legs for, and the situation with net neutrality is one of the most blatant examples. This needs to change. That can start by honoring net neutrality.” Adrian Simone, USMC\n“Net neutrality shouldn't be a partisan idea. It's the right answer for the future of the internet. Do the right thing.” Michael Hoyt\n“You’re constantly putting money in pockets that don’t struggle and taking more and more from pockets who do. This is another example. Striking down net neutrality is going to allow money hungry giants to continue to feed on hard working Americans. It might even hurt those who are trying to further their education. I support my President, but I do not support all his decisions and this is one of those I don’t.” Andy Klotz, Army\n“I am a disabled veteran, I use things such as; Facebook and LinkedIn to keep in touch with my battle buddies in North Carolina,please reverse the FCC repeal of net neutrality” Forrest Perez\n“I feel that this Net Neutrality is a very important issue, and that our Congress have dropped the ball on it...they should have fought for the rights of the people, not corporations!” Brant Pfister, Army\n“As a US Navy veteran who deployed from my family numerous times, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of being able to connect via the internet with loved ones at home. Please act to repeal the FCC decision to roll back net nutrality rules and keep an open and fair internet for our service members and their family.” Robert York\n“Vietnam-Era Hospital Corpsman who believes open access to information and a variety of viewpoints is essential to true democracy.” David Casker, Navy\n“I work in the IT industry as well as being an Army veteran and I am extremely disappointed that the FCC has abdicated its responsibility to protect American citizens from abuse by major Internet Service Providers. I respectfully demand that Congress take action to reverse the FCC decision to remove Title 2 oversight of Internet Service Providers.” Chris Prescott, Army\n“I, and all of the veterans served (or continue to serve) to protect our country and our Constitution. As we served honorably, I now ask you to honorably serve us by defeating the loss of net neutrality.” Robert Jones\n“As a proud veteran of the USMC, I strongly support net neutrality backed by Title 2 oversight of ISPs. Corporations should have no right to restrict or favor any internet traffic over another. In contrast to the lies of Ajit Pai we have seen corporations such as Verizon, Comcast and others attempt to do just that prior to the previous net neutrality laws (which did not go far enough to protect the internet). Please do what we we elected you to do and represent the American people in this and not lobbyists for corporations. We will be watching how you vote.” Eldon Alameda\n“I am without words to express how betrayed I feel... the country I love so much, and would give my life defending, is handing our digital freedom to the service providers. Our only voice against their cable monopolies was cutting the cord. When that finally started to make a difference, they came for the internet... and the FCC gave it to them! I just received a letter this morning from my service provider, informing me that they would be downgrading my video streaming quality to SD, despite my unlimited data. However, I could upgrade to HD for an additional monthly charge. This is the internet being held hostage.” Tom Bennard, Army\n“I work from home and my company does not reimburse my internet costs. Ending net neutrality will surely impact my cost of service and will jeopardize my ability to stay working for the company I've been employed for 19 years. Not to mention the other negative implications to average Americans. Please reverse the FCC's ill-advised ruling.” Justin Singmaster, Army\n“I wore the uniform of my country for nearly 24 years and never intended for the benefits of that service to be limited to wealthy fellow citizens.” Larry Holman\n“I expect this to be a top priorit for my representatives. If it is not they will not get my vote in their next re-election.” Rebecca Griswold, Navy\n“As a US Veteran, I strongly support net neutrality backed by Title 2 oversight of ISPs. Come on FCC - this is COMMON SENSE. Abolishing net neutrality legislation has the potential to take away freedom of speech to American Citizens due to ISPs being able to control the speeds at which we receive our information.” David Habisohn\n“An open internet is the technological keystone to freedom of speech.” Brian McKinley\n“I’m a home bound disabled VN Veteran and rely on the neutrality of the Internet every day of my life. It is my only connection to the outside world. Repealing net neutrality only benefits the bottom line of ISPs, telecom networks, and big business in general. The Internet is every bit as necessary to me and everyday citizens as natural gas, electricity, water which without question classifies the Internet as a utility. DO NOT REPEAL NET NEUTRALITY!” Paul Levin, Army\n“\"Drain the swamp!\" End political appointment of corporate shills. (Yes, I'm talking about you, Ajit Pai.)” Glen Neff\n“I served 4 in the Corps for our freedoms, and not for a corporation. Please restore Net Neutrality!!” Craig Rose\n“I fought for an America of individual choice not corporate monopoly. Restore Net Neutrality!” William Lingenfelter, United States Army\n“Please don't take away net neutrality. Not being able to use the services of unfettered internet while on deployment will be a nightmare for those deployed and their families.” Thomas Garrett, USAF\nThese organizations support the veterans and active service members who have signed the open letter to Congress to restore net neutrality.\nOur Congressional representatives are home in their districts for August recess. On Tuesday, August 28th, US veterans and supporters across the country will gather outside our elected officials' offices and present them with our open letter calling on lawmakers to restore net neutrality.\nSelect your state below to print out the letter and complete list of veterans who have signed on. Show up a few minutes early and wait outside the office for others to come. Around 15 minutes after the start time, go into the office with your crew of people and deliver the letter to the staffer at the front desk.

A Bucks County criminal lawyer can review the charges against you and design and execute a strategic plan to either get the charges dismissed or to minimize your sentence and maximize your chance for rehabilitation.\nTypes of Cases That a Bucks County Criminal Lawyer Will Take On\nYour Bucks County lawyer may specialize in one or more of the following arenas of criminal defense:\nWhat determines how you will be charged? Prosecutors might consider: the severity of your crime and your intent; whether you have a criminal history; whether you demonstrate contrition and a desire to be rehabilitated; and what state of mind you were in when you did the alleged criminal act. Typically, violations of Pennsylvania law fall into three categories: infractions, misdemeanors, and felonies. You can be charged with multiple “counts” of illegal behavior, and the penalties can be additive. Punishments might include jail time, fines, court costs, mandatory restitution to people/institutions you’ve harmed, loss of your drivers’ license and other privileges, forced probation, and other long-term secondary consequences – such as increased difficulty getting loans and damage to your professional reputation.\nDesigning a Blueprint to Fight Charges\nEach case that a Bucks County criminal lawyer takes on is different. To that end, your attorney will have to leverage both his/her experience and resources – and specific information about your background and charges to cultivate a respectable defense. You might be surprised by the diversity of legal options at your disposal. For instance, say you’ve been accused of committing a DWI on a Philadelphia side street. Your Bucks County criminal lawyer can analyze the circumstances of your arrest, the results of your breathalyzer test, and even the quality of the police work done to probe for weaknesses in the prosecution’s argument. For example, a detailed analysis may reveal that the breathalyzer test yielded a “false positive” – in other words, the machine malfunctioned and said that you had a BAC of over 0.08% when, in fact, you did not – or the evidence was ambiguous.\nTo maximize the power of your Bucks County criminal lawyer, you need to be upfront and honest about your concerns and about what actually happened. The information you provide your Bucks County lawyer will be strictly confidential – meaning that there are no consequences to saying anything to him or her. A quality Bucks County criminal lawyer will agree to meet with you first for free (also known as a “free first consultation”), so that you can ask questions before you retain him or her.", "domain": "law"}

The tension was high with anticipation as the sound of horses, leather and the steel of armor and weapons noted their presence on a late spring day. It was a way of life for William to do the crafted dance around kings, knights and barons that proved his knightly longevity to become Earl of Pembroke. June 15, 1215 bore the Magna Carta and William played a crucial role. A balance of power was forced upon King John of England by a council of 25 Barons who were fed up with the indiscriminate abuse of power by the king. William Marshall, a knight of great reputation to both sides, helped broker the \"Great Charter\".\nAmong the many rights of the Magna Carta which have thread their way through history into our Constitution, the \"fee simple estate\" has had a most positive and profound effect on the economic wealth of our country.\nThe Fifth Amendment guarantees that \"no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law\" a phrase that was derived from the Magna Carta.\nThe ownership of your home enjoys the benefit of \"fee simple absolute\" or fee simple which is the highest estate permitted by law. It gives you the right to possess your property and hold for an indeterminate amount of time. The word \"fee\" was derived from the word \"fief\" which was a feudal land holding subject to the king's conditions and desire. When the feudal land system was abolished all fiefs became \"simple\" without conditions attached to the possession and benefit of your home. Hence fee simple.\nYou can thank, in part, a knight of great repute and chivalry for the enjoyment you have in owning your home.

There are thousands of students in the exact same position. When they need some academic assistance, they buy a case brief from the custom writing services of TopDissertations.com. We provide specialized legal brief writing services that can help you improve your grades and free up your time!\nWhat Exactly Are Case Briefs?\nIn a nutshell, a case brief provides comprehensive analysis about a particular legal case that you have chosen to discuss. You lay out the facts of the case, the arguments presented by the parties, the court’s judgment, and an explanation for why you believe the case is important. What makes them a challenge is that they adhere to a very specific structure, require a great deal of case research, and require you to express your own opinion of the case based on sound reasoning.\nLegal Brief Writing Services\nIt is completely understandable that so many students write us a message that asks, “Can somebody write my case brief for me?” At TopDissertations.com, we have a team of writers who specialize in law school assignments. They can compose a case brief that is thoroughly researched, well organized, and will impress your professor. All you have to do in order to buy a case brief is fill out the form, specify the length, academic level, deadline, and upload any material that will help your writer do the best possible job. Our case brief writing service is convenient, affordable and we will always deliver on time!\nWhy Choose TopDissertations.com:\n- Deadline delivery guarantee;\n- Original work;\n- Secure payment options;\n- Writing help from sharp legal minds;\n- Free revision (within the first 2 days after the order delivery) if the instructions are not followed;\n- Satisfaction guarantee\nAnother reason why so many customers buy a case brief from TopDissertations.com is that we keep prices so low without compromising on quality. In fact, our papers start at $13.99 for any type of case brief. Plus your professional legal expert will do all of the necessary research and adhere to all of your structure and formatting requirements. The result is a case brief paper that is original and well written.\nTips for Writing a Case Brief\nLaw students are often assigned case briefs and for good reason: the ability to analyze court cases and present them in an organized manner is the essence of law. Of course, this does not mean students enjoy writing them. They are tedious assignments that require a significant amount of research, a solid understanding of how law works, and the ability to understand technical concepts that are exclusive to the law. This means using appropriate word choices, structuring the paper in a very organized way, and explaining the facts of the case clearly. For most law students this is too much to handle.\nTo get started on your assignment, take a look at a legal case brief example or two. It would also be helpful to take a look at law school websites since they all contain templates that can provide good guidance. You will notice that case briefs are intended to be a short version of the case law, but at the same time must contain all of the pertinent information. You might need to gain some writing experience in order to best achieve this.\nHow to Structure Your Case Brief:\n- Start with the introduction. In this part of the paper, you will make reference to the title of the case long with the parties involved.\n- Case details. You will explain the circumstances and issues, facts of the case, and the decision that the court rendered.\n- Discuss whether you believe the case was properly decided. Make sure to use sound logic and evidence as you either support the opinion or explain why it was flawed.\nFinal Tips on Writing a Case Brief\nNobody is born with the natural ability to write a case brief. Even bright law students need to familiarize themselves with the guidelines. Here are some suggestions that can help you write an effective paper:\n- Gather all of the facts of the case and create an outline. Having the facts laid out will make it easier for you to put together the case brief. Make sure to catalogue everything so that you will be able to go back and quickly locate all of the information from case files.\n- Create a comprehensive record of everything that has transpired in the court case to date. This includes all of the verdicts, the appeals, and whatever else that will provide a full picture of the case.\n- Develop a list of questions regarding the main issues. In most cases, it is best to structure them as “yes or no” questions.\n- Discuss the legal principles and rules that formed the basis of this case.\n- Carefully explain the legal rationale behind the court’s decision. It should be done in narrative form and incorporate all of the parts of the case along with the reasoning. This is one of the most time-consuming elements of the case brief, but it is also the most important.\n- While you might want to make reference to the concurring or dissenting opinion of the judges, do not focus too much on this as it is little more than a footnote. When the courts themselves identify other court cases as the basis for their decision, they never make note of any opinion other than the one rendered by the majority.\n- Why did you choose this particular case? You will need to explain its importance when presenting it during class. For instance, was it a landmark decision? Is it an issue that is related to controversial legal questions that remain unresolved today?\n- Make sure to think about any questions that your case presents so that when they are discussed in class, your classmates will be able to ponder them and provide their own insight.\nWhat Our Clients Say\nMy friend asked me for some help with her essay and I gave Topdissertations.com a go.

However, on December 18, 2015, then-President Obama signed into law the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act of 2015, which includes favorable changes to the research credit that help mitigate the impact of this limitation.\nIn particular, the PATH Act of 2015 allows certain small businesses to offset their alternative minimum tax (AMT) or payroll tax liability with the research credit. As a result, small businesses in an AMT or loss position that otherwise would not have claimed the research credit should now consider doing so.\nBackground on the R&D Tax Credit\nThe research credit under Section 41 was enacted in 1981 to stimulate research and development in the United States by helping businesses offset some of the costs associated with increasing their qualified research activities. Over its lifetime, the research credit has been subject to various ‘sunset’ provisions, but regularly extended (often retroactively), resulting in year-to-year uncertainty about its future.\nHowever, the PATH Act of 2015 made the research credit permanent after December 31, 2014. The credit, as permanently extended, retains both the regular credit and the alternative simplified credit (ASC) options. Therefore, businesses will continue to have the opportunity to compare the two methods and choose the more favorable one by making an annual election on a timely filed federal return.\nBusinesses that have not claimed a regular credit in a prior year may make the election on a timely filed amended return for that year. The PATH Act of 2015 also opens the door for a new mix of businesses to utilize the research credit. For tax years beginning after December 31, 2015, the research credit is expanded to allow certain small businesses to benefit from the credit in tax years where there is no regular income tax liability (a regular income tax liability normally is a requirement of Section 38, related to the general business credit, of which the research credit is a part).\nOffsetting the AMT Liability\nBusinesses in an AMT position may now be able to offset their tax liability with the research credit, a new category of ‘specified credit’ under Section 38(c)(4)(B). In order to offset its AMT liability with the research credit, a business must be an ‘eligible small business’ (ESB).\nQualification as an ESB An ESB is defined in Section 38(c)(5)(C) as a sole proprietorship, partnership, or non-public corporation with average annual gross receipts of $50 million or less for the three preceding tax years.\nFor this purpose, rules similar to those found in Section 448(c)(2) and (3) are applied in determining gross receipts:\n- All persons treated as a single employer under Section 52(a) or (b), or Section 414(m) or (0), are treated as one person (i.e., gross receipts are aggregated).\n- If the entity was not in existence for the entire three-year period, then the gross receipts requirement is based on the period during which the entity was in existence (i.e., a period of less than three tax years).\n- For any short tax year, gross receipts are annualized (i.e., gross receipts for the short period are multiplied by 12 and the result is divided by the number of months in the short period).\n- Gross receipts for any tax year are reduced by returns and allowances made during that same year.\n- Predecessor entities are taken into account in determining gross receipts.\nWith respect to an S corporation or partnership, the gross receipts requirement must be met both by the entity and its various shareholders or partners. Therefore, one shareholder or partner may qualify to use the research credit to offset an AMT liability while other shareholders or partners may be ineligible.\nEXAMPLE: Partners A and B (Albert and Betty) each own 50% of Partnership Z, an ESB. In 2016, Partnership Z generates a research credit of $4 million. For the three preceding tax years, Partner A had average annual gross receipts of $40 million and Partner B had average annual gross receipts of $55 million. Because Partner A’s gross receipts did not exceed $50 million, Partner A can use his distributive share of the research credit to offset his AMT liability. Partner B cannot use her share of the research credit to offset her AMT liability because she did not meet the gross receipts requirement. If Partnership Z had not qualified as an ESB, neither Partner A nor Partner B would be able to offset his or her AMT liability.\nClaiming the Benefit\nNo election is required in order to offset an ESB’s AMT liability with its research credit. ESBs simply complete the applicable research credit forms, including the new line items. An ESB may offset any amount of AMT with its research credit, subject to the general limitation applicable to specified credits. Any unused credit generally may be carried back one tax year and carried forward 20 tax years. However, it is not clear whether an unused research credit from the 2016 tax year may be carried back to the 2015 tax year in order to offset AMT paid in that year since this new provision was not effective until the 2016 tax year.\nOffsetting Payroll Tax Liability\nBusinesses in a loss position (e.g., start-ups) may now be able to monetize their research credit by applying it against their payroll tax liability. In order to offset its payroll tax liability with the research credit, a business must be a ‘qualified small business’ (QSB). Qualification as a QSB A QSB is defined in Section 41(h)(3) as a partnership, corporation, or person with gross receipts of less than $5 million for the current tax year and no gross receipts for any tax year preceding the five tax year period ending with the current tax year. A tax-exempt organization cannot be a QSB.\nEXAMPLE: Partnership Z generates $4 million of gross receipts in 2016. It had $7 million of gross receipts in 2015, 2014, 2013, and 2012. It had no gross receipts in 2011 and earlier tax years. Partnership Z is a QSB in 2016 and may elect to offset its payroll tax liability with the research credit. Partnership Z is a QSB because it had less than $5 million in gross receipts in the year of the election and no gross receipts in any of the tax years preceding 2012. It is irrelevant that Partnership Z did not have gross receipts of less than $5 million during the four tax years immediately preceding the year of the election. In 2017, Partnership Z would not be a QSB because it had gross receipts in 2012.\nGross receipts are determined under Section 448(c)(3), without regard to Section 448(c)(3)(A). As a result, gross receipts are annualized for short tax years, are reduced by returns and allowances, and are adjusted to account for predecessor entities. In addition, entities or persons treated as a single taxpayer under Section 41(f) are treated as a single taxpayer for Insights 3 pwc Section 41(h), meaning in this context that gross receipts must be aggregated for a controlled group of corporations, or for trades or businesses under common control.", "domain": "law"}

Information about Brokerage Services\nBefore working with a real estate broker, you should know that the duties of a broker depend on whom the broker represents. If you are a prospective seller or landlord (owner) or a prospective buyer or tenant (buyer), you should know that the broker who lists the property for sale or lease is the owner's agent. A broker who acts as a sub agent represents the owner in cooperation with the listing broker. A broker who acts as a buyer's agent represents the buyer. A broker may act as an intermediary between the parties if the parties consent in writing. A broker can assist you in locating a property, preparing a contract or lease, or obtaining financing without representing you. A broker is obligated by law to treat you honestly.\nIf the Broker Represents the Owner\nThe broker becomes the owner's agent by entering into an agreement with the owner, usually through a written listing agreement, or by agreeing to act as a sub agent by accepting an offer of sub agency from the listing broker. A sub agent may work in a different real estate office. A listing broker or sub agent can assist the buyer but does not represent the buyer and must place the interests of the owner first. The buyer should not tell the owner's agent anything the buyer would not want the owner to know because an owner's agent must disclose to the owner any material information known to the agent.\nIf the Broker Represents the Buyer\nThe Broker becomes the buyer's agent by entering into an agreement to represent the buyer, usually through a written buyer representation agreement. A buyer's agent can assist the owner, but does not represent the owner and must place the interests of the buyer first. The owner should not tell a buyer's agent anything the owner would not want the buyer to know, because a buyer's agent must disclose to the buyer any material information known to the agent.\nIf the Broker Acts as an Intermediary\nA broker may act as an intermediary between the parties if the broker complies with the Texas Real Estate License Act. The broker must obtain the written consent of each party to the transaction to act as an intermediary. The written consent must state who will pay the broker and, in conspicuous bold or underlined print, set forth the broker's obligations as an intermediary. The broker is required to treat each party honestly and fairly and to comply with The Texas Real Estate License Act. A broker who acts as an intermediary in a transaction:\n- Shall treat all parties honestly\n- May not disclose that the owner will accept a price less than the asking price unless authorized in writing to do so by the owner\n- May not disclose that the buyer will pay a price greater than the price submitted in a written offer unless authorized in writing to do so by the buyer\n- May not disclose any confidential information or any information that a party specifically instructs the broker in writing not to disclose unless authorized in writing to disclose the information or required to do so by The Texas Real Estate License Act or a court order or if the information materially relates to the condition of the property.\nWith the parties' consent, a broker acting as an intermediary between the parties may appoint a person who is licensed under the Texas Real Estate License Act and associated with the broker to communicate with and carry out instructions of one party and another person who is licensed under that Act and associated with the broker to communicate with and carry out instructions of the other party.\nIf You Choose to have a Broker Represent You\nYou should enter into a written agreement with the broker that clearly establishes the broker's obligations and your obligations. The agreement should state how and by whom the broker will be paid. You have the right to choose the type of representation, if any, you wish to receive. Your payment of a fee to a broker does not necessarily establish that the broker represents you. If you have any questions regarding the duties and responsibilities of the broker, you should resolve those questions before proceeding. Real estate licensee asks that you acknowledge receipt of this information about brokerage services for the licensee's records.\nTexas Real Estate Brokers and Salesmen are licensed and regulated by the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC). If you have a question or complaint regarding a real estate licensee, you should contact TREC at P.O.

Before distributing flyers, berthing passersby, offering free tastings and offering gifts, you must know what are prohibited and how to respect the law.\nA street marketing operation is considered “street hawking”. As a result, some rules must be respected.\n- never throw out or distribute flyers, posters, leaflets or objects from a vehicle. Even if the vehicle is parked.\n- it is forbidden to deposit or throw flyers and other printed matter on the public road or part of the public road, but also on the benches of walks and the buildings of public utility like the schools, the hospitals, the courts …\n- do not distribute printed matter during election days.\nRegulated areas in Paris\nIn Paris, the distribution of leaflets is regulated by prefectural decrees. In the areas mentioned below, it is totally forbidden to do street marketing in any form and to challenge passers-by:\n- place de l’Étoile\n- grands boulevards qui s’étendent de la place de La Madeleine à la place de la République\n- avenue des Champs Elysées\n- boulevard Saint Michel qui va de la place Saint Michel au boulevard du Montparnasse\n- rue de Rennes, de la place du Québec au boulevard du Montparnasse\n- rue de la Légion d’Honneur\n- place Henri de Montherlant\nAlso prohibited in Paris, distributions in pedestrian areas, public gardens, public markets and their surroundings, in subways and railway stations.\nStreet marketing: the obligations incumbent on agencies\nThe street marketing agencies must respect certain obligations. First, make a declaration to the competent authority. Some information will be requested such as places, distribution times, your business data as an agency, and so on. Do not forget to put the name and address of the printer on all printed matter. During the campaign, be sure to pick up all flyers, leaflets and flyers thrown by passersby, 30 meters around your place. If on the other hand, you must pick up, always 30 meters around, all along your route if you make mobile distribution. Again, refer to the prefecture of the city where you want to do your campaign.\nList of some laws that can help you\nHere is a non-exhaustive list of the law in force:\n- Article R. 412-52 of the Highway Code: prohibiting the distribution of flyers, leaflets or objects to the occupants of a vehicle traveling on a public road.\n- Article L. 49 of the Electoral Code: prohibiting the distribution of any type of document on polling days.\n- decree of the mayor of Paris n ° 79-561 of November 20th, 1979: forbidden to deposit or to throw, on all or part of the public road, as well as in the buildings of public utility, or on the benches of promenade, all papers, printed matter, newspapers, flyers, etc.\nThe legislation varies according to the municipalities. In Lyon for example, the distribution of advertising objects is prohibited from 11am to 19pm on a score of places such as Rue de la République, Rue Saint Jean, Place des Terreaux, Quai Victor Augagneur, Rue Victor Hugo … mobile advertising must do at most 16m2.", "domain": "law"}

Some of the topics we can assist with include:\nFor medical questions, we encourage you to review our information with your doctor.\nLabels warning that a product contains chemicals that may cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm are now required on many household items sold in California. But people all over the country might see them because many companies put the labels on all items that contain these chemicals, even if they’re going to be sold in other states. The warning labels can be found on many kinds of products, such as electrical wires, jewelry, padlocks, dishes, flashlights, and pesticides, to name just a few.\nCalifornia’s Proposition 65, also called the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act, first became law in the state in 1986. It is intended to help Californians make informed decisions about protecting themselves from chemicals that could cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.\nAs part of the law, the state is required to publish a list of chemicals that are “known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity.” The list is updated at least once a year and now contains more than 900 different chemicals. The complete list can be found on the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) website at https://oehha.ca.gov/chemicals\nThere are several ways a substance can be added to the OEHHA list. One way is if it’s considered by an ‘authoritative body’ to cause cancer in humans or lab animals. Organizations designated as authoritative bodies by the state of California include the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC, which is part of the World Health Organization), the US National Toxicology Program (NTP), and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), among others. (To learn more about these organizations and what they do, see Determining if Something Is a Carcinogen.) The State of California can also make its own determinations about specific substances.\nNot all of the cancer-related substances on the OEHHA list are considered to be known human carcinogens (known to cause cancer in people) by the organizations above. This means that not every chemical on the list has been proven to the worldwide scientific community to actually cause cancer in people.\nAs part of the law, most businesses selling products in California must provide “clear and reasonable warnings” before knowingly exposing people to any chemical on the list, unless the expected level of exposure would pose no significant cancer risk. This warning is often in the form of a label on the product or its packaging.\nThe law defines “no significant risk” as a level of exposure that would cause no more than 1 extra case of cancer in 100,000 people over a 70-year lifetime. So a compound doesn’t have to be labeled if a person exposed to the substance at the expected level for 70 years is estimated to have less than a 1 in 100,000 chance of getting cancer due to that exposure. The law also has similar strict cutoff levels for birth defects and reproductive harm.\nBusinesses decide whether to put warning labels on their products based on their knowledge of the types of chemicals in them.\nFor any product made after August 2018, the Prop 65 labels typically say something like this:\nWARNING: This product can expose you to [name of chemical], which is known to the State of California to cause cancer. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.\nBusinesses are not required to use this exact wording (as long as it still provides a “clear and reasonable warning”), so it can vary somewhat between labels.\nPrior to August 2018, businesses didn’t have to specify which chemical(s) of concern were in their products, so any products made before this date might not list any specific chemicals. As of August 2018, the label should name at least one chemical of concern. The label doesn’t have to list all of them, although the business might choose to do so.\nSome types of products are required to have specific labels as a result of court orders after lawsuits. For example, the required labels on electrical wires such as computer cables, power cords, and holiday lights sold in California are slightly different. (This is discussed below.)\nThe Proposition 65 warning labels might cause some confusion for people who see them, for a few reasons:\nWhile businesses are required to put warning labels on products, they’re not required to list all of the chemicals that might cause problems, nor are they required to provide the OEHHA with any information about the products. This means the OEHHA cannot offer information to help consumers figure out what the potential risk is with a specific product or how to avoid it.\nIf you find a warning label on a product and want more information:\nOnce you know which chemical(s) the product contains, you can usually find more information about it from other sources. For example, the OEHHA has fact sheets on many common chemicals on its website at https://www.p65warnings.ca.gov/fact-sheets. Sometimes you can find information on specific products on the OEHHA website as well.\nProducts that are sold outside of California are not required to have the warning label even if they contain substances that might cause cancer. Some companies that sell products all over the US only label those sent to California, even though all their products contain the same compounds.\nThe required labels on electrical wires such as computer cables, power cords, and holiday lights sold in California are slightly different from the labels on other products, and typically say something like this:\nWARNING: Handling the cord on this product will expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause [cancer, and] birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.\nThe word “cancer” (in brackets above) is optional, at the judgment of the manufacturer. Many of them use it, possibly to avoid liability.\nLawsuits filed in 2000 charged that electrical manufacturers were selling covered electrical wires and cable products in California without labels, despite the fact that the wires and cables had lead in their coverings. (Lead is a substance on the California list.) As part of the lawsuit settlement, manufacturers were directed to start putting warning labels on electrical cords as of late 2003. People who buy new electrical products are often concerned when they see these warning labels, but cords have contained lead for many years. Only the labels are new.\nCords that are not often plugged and unplugged do not have to be labeled. Cords with lead inside their covering, and cords that are in places that make them inaccessible to consumers during ordinary use do not have to be labeled.\nFor more information and frequently asked questions about Proposition 65, go to: https://www.p65warnings.ca.gov.\nProposition 65 is reviewed in plain language at: https://oehha.ca.gov/proposition-65/general-info/proposition-65-plain-language.\nFor a fully updated list of all the chemicals that are known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity, go to: https://www.p65warnings.ca.gov/chemicals.\nFact sheets for some of the chemicals on the list are available at: https://www.p65warnings.ca.gov/fact-sheets.\nOur team is made up of doctors and oncology certified nurses with deep knowledge of cancer care as well as journalists, editors, and translators with extensive experience in medical writing.\nCalifornia Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment.

For the time being, they call on road users to strictly respect the measures implemented for their safety and that of all those involved in the disaster area, in particular due to the maneuvers of heavy equipment for the evacuation of logs which chase and the debris they generate.\nFind detailed information on the conditions of opening on the site of the Gironde Prefecture.", "domain": "law"}

Under Florida’s new controlled open enrollment law, students may enroll in FLCCA@Pasco even if the student does not reside in Pasco County. FLCCA@Pasco is committed to enrolling a diverse student population, as set forth by the provisions of the Florida Educational Equity Act, Section 1000.05(2)(a), and prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, national origin, gender, marital status, ethnicity, or disability. All interested students are encouraged to apply for enrollment.\nApplications are accepted each year during the open enrollment window and throughout the school year to maintain capacity in the school. If the school receives more applications than the available spots, a lottery will be held. During the lottery process, all applicants who applied by the deadline will have equal opportunity in the drawing subject to any preferences required by Florida law or permitted by Florida law and adopted pursuant to this Admissions Process. After capacity is filled, a waiting list will be formed with the lottery process as well.\nAs provided for in Florida’s Charter School Legislation, the School will give enrollment priority to the following student populations if a spot is available:\n- Students who reside in Pasco County\n- Students who are the sibling of a student enrolled in the school,\n- Students who are the children of an employee or founding governing board member of the charter school, and\n- Other students who are required to be a preference pursuant to Florida law.\nStudents in these categories will be admitted automatically. If the applicants in the above priority groups exceed vacancies, a lottery will be held as well within the priority groups\nApplications submitted for the prior school year will not be valid, roll over or be processed in the following school year lottery or waitlist. A new application must be submitted during the open enrollment window in order to be considered for a seat.\nAll applications received after the open enrollment window will be placed on the waiting list in the order in which they are received.\nParents will be notified in writing of their child’s acceptance no later than three weeks past the acceptance period deadline and will have a specific timeline to respond to the school in writing of their decision to attend. If an accepted applicant decides not to attend the school or informs the school of the decision on time, the open spot will be given to the next student on the waiting list.\nWhich grades can students apply to enter?\nFlorida Cyber Charter Academy (FLCCA)@Pasco offers grades Kindergarten through 12th grade. A lottery will be held if the number of applications received exceeds the number of seats available. Applications for the 2017-18 school year will continue to be accepted throughout the academic year.\nAre there any seats for next school year?\nYes. However, if the number of applications received exceeds the number of seats available, a lottery will be held at the end of the open enrollment window.\nIs proof of residence required to apply?\nNo, it is not required at the time of submitting an application. However, proof of residence is required to complete enrollment. If a seat is awarded, proof of residence and other remaining enrollment documents must be submitted by the specified deadline in the lottery notification announcement you will receive. To meet that eligibility requirement, you must prove residence in the state of Florida.\nHow does the lottery process work?\nIn accordance with the Florida Department of Public Instruction, applicants are admitted in the following order of preference:\n- Once the open enrollment window has closed, FLCCA@Pasco will determine how many applications were received.\n- If the number of applications received exceeds the number of seats available, a computer generated lottery will be conducted.\n- A lottery will be conducted in-person at the FLCCA@Pasco Administrative Office, as well as online via Class Connect.\nWhen will I be notified if my child gets a seat in the lottery?\nWe will email enrollment offer letters the day of the lottery. You will have 2 weeks from the date on the letter to return your confirmation of enrollment to hold your child’s seat. Failure to meet the deadline will forfeit your child’s seat and the next student on the waiting list will be offered a seat.\nWhat is the orientation process for new students?\nAll new students and their parent-guardians must attend an in-person or online orientation session in the summer. Students will take a grade-level placement assessment, and families will learn about school policies.\nWhat if my child does not get a seat in the lottery?\nYour child will be placed on a waiting list until a seat becomes available or until enrollment closes for the current school year. Waitlisted applications for one school year do not carry over and will not be prioritized into the next school year’s lottery cycle. However, you are welcome to re-apply.\nWhat if I register my child for a seat but later decide to attend another school?\nWe ask that you notify us promptly if your plans change, so that we can give the seat and as much notice as possible to the next student on the waiting list.\nWhom should I contact if I have questions about the lottery or enrollment process?\nFLCCA Pasco Board and Operation Policies\nFlorida Cyber Charter Academy at Pasco is governed by a Board comprised of community leaders.

In the Quatra Max system, the values of this tax relief have been changed: annually to PLN 5,100, and monthly to PLN 425. Moreover, the tax threshold was increased to the amount of PLN 120,000\nThe exemption for pensioners (allowance for senior citizens) and people with at least 4 children (allowance for 4+) was taken into account. For these people, the PIT tax up to PLN 85,528 of revenues is not charged.\nA mechanism for calculating the tax relief for the citizens returning from emigracy was introduced. The tax relief is available for 4 consecutive tax years, counting from the end of the base year, which is – at the taxpayer’s choice – the year of transferring the tax residence to Poland or the following year. A deduction is made for 50% of the total amount of tax calculated according to the tax scale or 19% of the flat rate for entrepreneurs. In the first year, it will be subject to 50% of the tax calculated for the base year, in the second year – calculated for the first year of applying the relief, in the third and fourth years – calculated for the second and third years of applying the relief, respectively.\nAlgorithms for calculating the allowance for employees earning monthly in the range of PLN 5,701 – PLN 11,141 were introduced, as well as handling the application for not applying this allowance.\nAlgorithms were introduced that take into account the change in the calculation of the amount of the health insurance premium and the inability to reduce the tax advance by a part of the health insurance premium (7.75%).\nAn alternative method of calculating the advance payment for income tax was introduced in accordance with the Regulation of the Minister of Finance of 07/01/2022 on the extension of collection dates and the transfer of advance payments for personal income tax by certain payers.\nWe also watch over other changes\neffective from 01/01/2022\nThe Quatra Max system includes:\nChange in the amount of the minimum wage\nChange in the amount of the annual reduction of the basis for the assessment of pension and disability pension contributions\nHigher allowance for the period of stay in the hospital\nNew rules for determining the basis for the calculation of sickness benefit\nSimpler rules for determining the benefit period\nChanges in the code of the profession\nWe keep track of all regulations affecting the calculation of remuneration and we react as soon as the law requires it, and our consultants provide support and assistance at every stage of employee service in the System.", "domain": "law"}

It is a crucial factor to consider when hiring any contractor, as it ensures that the work will be done safely and up to code.\nA contractor`s license indicates that they have met all the state or local requirements and have passed the necessary exams to prove their competence in their field. It demonstrates that they have adequate knowledge and experience in their line of work.\nIn addition to ensuring that the contractor is competent, a license also protects the property owner. In case of any mishaps or accidents on the job site, the homeowner is not held liable for any damages or injuries resulting from the work done by the contractor.\nFurthermore, a licensed contractor is required to have liability insurance and workers` compensation insurance. This insurance provides protection for both the contractor and the homeowner in case of any accidents or property damage.\nWhen hiring a licensed contractor, it is important to verify their license and insurance credentials. This can be done by checking with the state licensing board or the Better Business Bureau.\nHiring an unlicensed contractor can lead to several problems, including poor quality work, potential legal issues, and even safety hazards. Unlicensed contractors often lack the necessary experience and training, leading to shoddy work and ultimately costing homeowners more money in the long run.\nIn conclusion, hiring a licensed contractor is essential for any construction or renovation project, no matter how big or small. It ensures that the work is done safely, up to code, and with proper insurance coverage. So, always make sure to verify the credentials of the contractor before hiring them to prevent any problems down the road.", "domain": "law"}

(Feb. 26, 2015) — The Center for Women and Families (CWF) honored five Women of Distinction tonight at the center's 28th Annual Celebration of Service and Survival at Churchill Downs in Louisville. One of those outstanding women was Carol Jordan, executive director of the University of Kentucky Office for Policy Studies on Violence Against Women.\n“The Center for Women and Families has been recognizing outstanding women in the community through the Women of Distinction Award since 1988,” said CWF’s CEO Marta Miranda. “An individual honored as a Woman of Distinction has given a lifetime of professional and/or volunteer services that has left an indelible mark on the Kentuckiana community.”\n“Women of Distinction have made significant contributions to education, health care, civil rights, the arts, human services, the welfare of children and the advancement of women,” she said. To date, 152 women have received this honor.\nFor 30 years, Jordan has worked in research, writing, programming, public policy and legislative advocacy to address intimate partner violence, rape and stalking. She has served as the first director of a statewide sexual and domestic violence program in the Department for Mental Health, as founding executive director for the Governor’s Office of Child Abuse and Domestic Violence Services. At UK, she was the founding director of the Center for Research on Violence Against Women, a premiere academic research center, and is now founding director of the Office for Policy Studies on Violence against Women in the College of Arts and Sciences.\n“When one receives an award of any kind, one is reminded of the influence and enduring support of colleagues and loved ones who helped make the success possible,” Jordan said. “I glance back over more than 30 years and feel that way today. That this award comes from the Commonwealth’s first and largest domestic violence and rape crisis program also amplifies its significance to me, so I am grateful on one hand, and inspired to continue this work on the other.”\nA primary focus of Jordan’s career has been advancing legislative reform. She has co-authored 30 pieces of legislation including criminal and civil justice reforms related to domestic violence, rape, and stalking; bills to expand and strengthen services to victims; and legislation to advance victim’s rights. Many of her accomplishments have had a broad influence; however, it is the idea that those accomplishments have touched the lives of individual women that she finds most meaningful.\n“It is our honor to celebrate these distinguished women. We are humbled by their contribution to our community and look forward to celebrating their accomplishments,” Miranda said.\nThis year’s honorees are Jordan, Pat Byron, president emeritus, Mary Byron Project; Dawne Gee, anchor for WAVE 3 News; Dorothy S. “Dot” Ridings, past president, Council on Foundations; and Audrey Tayse Haynes, Secretary of the Cabinet for Health and Family Services, Commonwealth of Kentucky.\nThe Center for Women and Families helps victims of intimate partner abuse or sexual violence to become survivors through supportive services, community education and cooperative partnerships that foster hope, promote self-sufficiency and rebuild lives. The center has been serving the community since 1912, when it began as part of the YWCA.

In this paper we clarify and expand Irving Zola’s call for ‘universalized disability policy’ and develop his insight by drawing upon the well-known principles of Universal Design (UD), or Design for All, in architecture, product development and city planning to formulate analogous principles of universally designed disability social policy and law. Our objective is to show, by means of two examples - one in health care delivery and the other in welfare or social support policy - that ‘universalized’ policy for and on behalf of persons with disabilities is feasible. We find that there are some, albeit limited, examples of universalizing policy in these areas and suggests ways in which the full range of UD principles might be able to be implemented in these two policy areas. What we propose is merely a proof of concept rather than a complete proposal to restructure disability law and policy - which likely not be feasible, given the range of social and economic conditions of countries around the globe. We conclude with some tentative suggestions for areas of empirical research that would further the overall agenda of a universal disability social policy.\nHow to Cite\n- Authors retain copyright and grant the journal right of first publication with the work simultaneously licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution License that allows others to share or adapt the work with an acknowledgment of the work's authorship and initial publication in this journal.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.\nOn November 2, 2018, Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. (the “Company”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Sale Agreement”), as seller, with ContiTech USA, Inc, as acquiror (“ContiTech”) (together the “Parties, each a “Party”). Pursuant to the Sale Agreement and the terms and conditions thereof, the Company agreed to sell and ContiTech agreed to acquire substantially all assets relating to the Company’s anti-vibration system business in which the Company engages directly or indirectly through certain of its subsidiaries in North America, China and Poland. The transaction includes a binding offer from ContiTech to purchase substantially all assets relating to the Company's anti-vibration system business in France, including the Company's 50% equity interest in Sujan Cooper Standard AVS Limited (collectively, the \"AVS Business\"). On the basis of such offer, the Parties have entered into exclusive discussions regarding the sale of French anti-vibration system business and equity interest in Sujan Cooper Standard joint venture once works council consultations in France have taken place. Further, the Company agreed to assign and ContiTech agreed to assume certain liabilities of the Company associated with the AVS Business (collectively, the “Transaction”).\nThe proposed purchase price to be paid to the Company in connection with the Transaction will consist of $265.5 million in cash (the “Base Amount”), which will be adjusted to reflect the indebtedness and working capital deficiency or surplus of the AVS Business at the time of closing. The amount (if any) of applicable transaction expenses will also be deducted from the Base Amount. The net effect of these adjustments could significantly decrease the cash proceeds to the Company.\nThe Sale Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnification provisions. The closing is subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of applicable antitrust approvals. The Sale Agreement may be terminated by mutual consent of both Parties or by either Party in the following circumstances: material breach by the other Party; failure to complete the closing of the Transaction on or prior to June 30, 2019; failure to satisfy certain closing conditions; or action by a governmental authority that would prevent or prohibit the Transaction. At closing, the Parties are expected to enter into certain ancillary agreements, including transition services agreements, manufacturing services agreements, and supply agreements to support the transition services, supply of materials and production of parts between the Parties in connection with the separation of AVS Business from the Company to ContiTech.\nPursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.\nCOOPER-STANDARD HOLDINGS INC.\n/s/ Aleksandra A.

When looking at the most profitable franchises, though, you begin to see that there is a better option. Here are a few reasons why you should buy into Cash Converters as one of the most profitable franchise opportunities available in South Africa.\n1. Franchising regulations and code of conduct\nWhen looking into how to buy a franchise you will find that you are protected by certain laws, regulations and organisations. The Consumer Protection Act No. 68 of 2008 (CPA) is in place to regulate various franchise-related matters and guarantee consumer rights. The CPA also works to ensure that franchising agreements are fair, reasonable and just, as well as ensuring that these agreements follow all the necessary legal formalities.\nCash Converters Southern Africa (CCSA) has been a full member of FASA (Franchise Association of South Africa) since 1995, and we are all fully compliant with the Consumer Protection Act, National Credit Act and the Second-Hand Goods Act. CCSA is also a member of MFSA (MicroFinance South Africa) which is a self-regulating organisation designed to keep microlending ethical. We have also been a finalist for the Franchise Association of South Africa Franchisor of the Year Awards in 2014, 2015 and 2016 so far.\n2. Established brand identity\nBuilding up a brand that is recognised and trusted by the public is a major challenge and expense for all start-up businesses. When consumers need something the first brands they search for are the ones they know. Even if they search for products the results that come up first will always be the more trusted brands who have invested in their image.\nBuying into any of the most profitable franchise opportunities in South Africa gives you instant access to this investment in brand identity. To give you an idea of how extensive our Cash Converters branding operations have been, we’ve invested over R260 million in our brand image strength and awareness over the last 24 years. And all of that is to your advantage as a franchisee.\n3. Greater chance of success\nFranchise opportunities in South Africa are an excellent business move because they guarantee a greater chance of success. On top of stepping into a well-established brand, Cash Converters also provides you with a proven recession-resilient business model that has led our more than 85 stores in Southern Africa to being highly profitable franchises.\n4. Easier to obtain financing\nOne of the greatest concerns for those investigating how to buy a franchise is the financing of their business ambitions. Banks are hesitant to loan large amounts of money required for start-up capital because of the high risk of failure involved. However, if you are looking for financing to buy into one of the most profitable franchise opportunities in South Africa, such as Cash Converters, banks are more likely to approve those loans. Our successes are obvious and so the risks are far lower. We have very established relationships with the major banks in our region.\n5. Share in the marketing benefits\nAnother benefit of joining an established brand is that you get to enjoy the benefits of the brand’s day-to-day marketing. The franchisor typically takes care of overall marketing of the brand, covered by an advertising fund or similar system, while franchisees are only required to budget for the necessary local marketing.\nThese are still just a few of the benefits of buying into Cash Converters as one of the most profitable franchising opportunities in South Africa.

What Is The Contrast?A Living Will is a legal file addressing just deathbed considerations; a customer unilaterally declares his/her desire that life-prolonging procedures be stopped when there is no hope of ultimate recovery.\nOn the other hand, people utilize a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care to designate somebody to make all healthcare decisions, restricted by certain elections relating to deathbed concerns.\nWhen either is executed, the customer should be at least 18 years old and mentally qualified at the time he/she performs either file however inexperienced to take part in the decision-making process. It is very important to keep in mind that both files are only relevant if the client mishandles.\nUnder the a Living Will, a customer states that if he or she is accredited to have an incurable, terminal injury/illness and/or to be permanently unconscious by 2 taking a look at physicians ( consisting of the client's going to doctor), that synthetic life-support systems be kept or detached. The client may also choose to discontinue synthetic nutrition and hydration (intravenous feeding) by so designating on the type. (Find more details at: legalhelper.net/living-will.aspx).\nUnder the Health Care Power of Attorney, the customer makes three different and independent elections licensing the agent:.\n1. To direct disconnection of synthetic life-support systems in the event of terminal disease;.\n2. To direct disconnection of artificial life-support systems in case of permanent coma; and.\n3. To direct discontinuation of artificial nutrition and hydration.\nIn addition, the Health Care Power of Attorney form provides a space for the client to set forth any specific medical, religious or other desires concerning his/her health care. The client may also use this section as a backup source for organ contribution. (Find more details at: legalhelper.net/power-of-attorney.aspx).\nBoth documents are signed in front of two witnesses and a notary public or a justice of the peace who acknowledges the customer's signature. The witnesses to a Living Will are sworn by the notary public/justice of the peace and show that the customer is at least 18 years of age and signed the instrument as a voluntary and complimentary act.\nThe Living Will witnesses might not be the client's spouse, going to physician, heirs-at-law or individual with claims versus the client's estate.\nThe Health Care Power of Attorney witnesses might not be the designated agent, the client, successor or spouse or person entitled to any part of the customer's estate upon death under Will, Trust or operation of law.\nThe Living Will is handy as a backup file: In the event that the client goes into an permanent coma and the health care representatives designated in the Health Care Power of Attorney are departed or unloadable , the Living Will sets forth the desires of the client concerning his/her death-bed treatment which may be followed by going to physicians. Copies of both the Durable Power of Attorney Web Site for Health Care and the Living Will are forwarded to the client's main care physician for inclusion in medical More hints records.\nBoth files are revocable through regular cancellation treatments.\nNote that LegalHelper.net offers an easy-to-use, fast, and affordable online method for producing completed legal documents for any occasions.\nUnder the a Living Will, a customer declares that if he or she is accredited to have an incurable, terminal injury/illness and/or to be completely unconscious by 2 taking a look at physicians ( consisting of the client's participating in physician), that artificial life-support systems be withheld or disconnected.

The second patent application is a continuation of issued U.S. patent 9,693,949, titled “Intravenous Administration of Tramadol.” The patent to be issued from the allowed application (U.S. Application No. 15/612,665) carries a patent term to at least 2036.\nAlso, the USPTO has indicated that a Notice of Allowance is being issued for U.S. Application No. 15/622,910 (a continuation-in-part application of U.S. patent 9,693,949). All patents to be issued from these allowed applications contain claims directed to Avenue’s proposed administration of IV tramadol. Issuance of these patents is expected in the second quarter of 2018.\n“The allowance of these patents further expands our patent portfolio and strengthens the protection of the methods of administration for IV tramadol in postoperative pain,” said Lucy Lu, M.D., Avenue’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are pleased that the USPTO has allowed these applications during this important stage in IV tramadol’s pivotal development program, as we look forward to reporting topline data from our Phase 3 trial in patients following bunionectomy surgery in the second quarter of 2018, and to initiating a Phase 3 trial in patients following abdominoplasty surgery in the third quarter.”\nThese patent applications fall under Avenue’s licensing agreement with Revogenex Ireland Ltd.", "domain": "law"}

Many times, the “help” is to make sure they do not hinder their public benefits by not leaving that family member anything (which is really no help) or leaving it to another family member “for the benefit of” the the one with the disability. Either of these either don’t help or are full of potential problems.\nThe real solution: a 3rd Party Special Needs Trust\nThe safest way to leave money or property for a person with disabilities and is on, or likely to be on, public benefits is with a Special Needs Trust (SNT). This trust holds the property for the benefit of the Special Needs person while still preserving benefits for that person. This trust will not replace Medicaid but will help improve the life of the person beyond what Medicaid can do. It’s a truly great gift you can give to a family member that may not be able to work and save for the special things in life.\nWhat is a 1st Party Special Needs Trust\nA 1st Party Special Needs Trust is used when the special needs person themselves receives money that would then make them disqualified for public benefits. This is not the preferred trust to use but is the only trust that can be used when money comes directly to the person. We see this many times when a disabled child is named as the beneficiary of an estate. We also see it when a disabled person receives settlement funds from a lawsuit where there were damages. The huge downside to this trust is that any money left in the trust at the death of the disabled person has to go to the State to reimburse for any Medicaid expense paid on their behalf. There is no payback with a 3rd Party SNT, which is why it’s important to set this up in the estate plan rather than deal with it when proper planning is not done.", "domain": "law"}

When someone’s identity gets stolen online, we don’t blame that person for using online banking, do we?\nIf a home gets broken into, do we blame the homeowner for not being there when it happened?\nWith that in mind, how could it possibly be a woman’s fault when her personal data account, one that may or may not include nude photos, is hacked?\nThe belief that, “If you don’t want nude photos leaked online, don’t take them in the first place!” is something I just can’t comprehend. Everyone on this earth, from an Oscar-winning starlet to the man in line in front of you at Starbucks, has a right to privacy.\nWhen you think about it, the right to privacy means you have the right to do… well, a lot of things (even stupid things!), as long as you don’t break the law. Sing the entirety of Taylor Swift’s Red album in the shower. Take ugly selfies. Pose naked in a bathroom mirror with your Cy Young-winning boyfriend. And yes, thanks to the Internet, you have the right to share those things you do with the world, if you’re so inclined. But others do not (or should not) have the right to share them for you.\nPrivacy is a basic human right that should never be compromised due to the ridiculous speed in which technology in the Digital Age is evolving.\nThe personal accounts of these women were hacked, though exactly what happened is still under investigation. Their privacy—and their bodies—were violated. Things that they decided were theirs to keep were stolen (yes, stolen) without their consent and misused in a deceitful and disgusting manner by being anonymously posted on the Internet by a disrespectful, creepy, coward of a person.\nSo, what can we do? Let’s start by stopping the victim blame game. And let’s also stop sharing/retweeting/ogling those leaked photos while we’re at it, shall we? You want to see jaw-dropping pictures of Kate Upton? Check out Sports Illustrated. Or, try Googling “J. Law at the Oscars” and feast your eyes on her stunning gowns and adorkable clumsiness instead.\nBut most importantly, moving forward, never forget this: What’s mine is yours? Sometimes. But what’s mine is mine alone if I want it to be. Period.\nA final note: The above tweet from Ricky Gervais was deleted shortly after he posted it, but not before hundreds of Twitter users retweeted and screen-grabbed it. He’s since defended the tweet as a “joke.” I’m not sure everyone’s laughing.\nJessica Forrester is Senior Copywriter at AKHIA.", "domain": "law"}

Customer meters are read as close to the last business day in each month as possible, and the present meter reading is subtracted from the previous reading to arrive at the monthly consumption. The monthly consumption is then applied to the Tariff and Fuel Adjustment on the bill.\nCreative Energy is a regulated Utility under the jurisdiction of the British Columbia Utilities Commission (BCUC). As a regulated Utility the Tariff only changes when an Application to change the Tariff has been approved by the BCUC. The Tariff charges cover labour, property taxes, operating costs and profit for Creative Energy. The Tariff is structured to be applicable to a wide range of customers. Each month the Customer metered consumption is applied to the Tariff to arrive at the Tariff charge. The Tariff charge is based per thousand pounds of steam. The Tariff charges do not include the costs related to Fuel.\n3. Fuel Adjustment\nThe Fuel Adjustment is a pass through charge to the customer to cover the cost of fuel, transportation charges for the fuel and any taxes related to the purchase of the fuel that are not included in the Tariff. There is no mark-up or profit in the Fuel Adjustment. Unlike the Tariff the Fuel Adjustment will fluctuate with the changes in the cost of energy, transportation and taxes. Each month the Customer consumption is applied to the Fuel Adjustment to arrive at the Fuel Adjustment charges on the bill. As of January 2017 the Fuel Adjustment is $10.85 per thousand pounds of Steam.\nCreative Energy by law is required to collect the Goods and Services Tax (GST) currently at 5% and Provincial Sales Tax (PST) currently at 7%. Each month the collected taxes are remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. A mandatory Municipal Access Fee of 1.25% is embedded in your bill.", "domain": "law"}

In the past, if a roof required more than 25% to be repaired or replaced, the entire roofing system had to be replaced. However, a recent change in legislation has brought significant modifications to Florida’s 25% roof replacement rule. Let’s explore these changes and their implications for homeowners.\nElimination of the 25% Roof Replacement Rule\nOn May 26, 2022, SB 4-D came into effect, eliminating Florida’s 25% roof replacement rule. Under the new law, a complete roof replacement is no longer mandatory if the remainder of the roof meets the requirements of the 2007 Florida Building Code or any later versions. Instead, only the specific portion of the roof undergoing repair or replacement needs to comply with the latest version of the Florida Building Code.\nFlorida Building Code Standards\nThe Florida Building Code 2020 previously outlined the standards that governed roof replacements. It stated that within a 12-month period, no more than 25% of the roof area of an existing building or structure could be repaired, recovered, or replaced unless replacing the entire roof system or section was necessary to comply with the code.\nNew Law: Section 553.884(5), Florida Statutes\nWith the implementation of SB 4-D, the 25% Roof Replacement Rule has been eliminated under certain circumstances. Section 553.884(5), Florida Statutes, provides specific guidelines. If a roofing system, roof section, or other existing structure was constructed, repaired, rebuilt, or replaced in accordance with the Florida Building Code 2007 or subsequent editions, and if 25% or more of that roofing system, roof section, or other existing structure requires repair, replacement, or recovery, only the portion undergoing work needs to comply with the currently effective Florida Building Code. This exception has been adopted by the Florida Building Commission and incorporated into the Florida Building Code, prohibiting local governments from modifying it through ordinances.\nThis article was written by a roofing professional at Roofing.co.
