In the wake of the "Right to be Forgotten" ruling in Europe, the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit organization that operates online encyclopedia Wikipedia, says it has received multiple notices of intent to remove Wikipedia content from European search results.
In fact, in a blog post, Wikimedia says Google has received more than 91,000 removal requests involving more than 328,000 links as of July 18 and more than 50 percent of the URLs processed have been removed.
And, as of August 6, Wikimedia says the notices affect more than 50 links directing readers to Wikipedia sites.
Within some of the notices, Google assures Wikimedia that the pages on the list have not been blocked entirely and will continue to appear to individuals that are not included under the "European data protection law requests."
Wikimedia notes it only knows about these removals because the search engine company sent notices to Wikimedia and because there is no legal obligation to send such notices it is possible other search engines may have removed additional links without Wikimedia's knowledge.
In another post, Lila Tretikov, executive director of Wikimedia, says the organization will beposting notices for each indefinite removal of Wikipedia search results.
Wikimedia has made its opposition to the ruling clear. 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."
As 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. The result is an internet riddled with memory holes -- places where inconvenient information simply disappears."
In comments on the Wikipedia blog, some Wikipedia contributors have expressed their own opposition to Wikimedia's stance.
"Once again, this is a decision that impacts the search engine algorithm which is not some impartial mathematical representation of the truth but is already heavily manipulated by many big commercial and state actors from around the world (from record labels to law enforcement)," writes one.
Another says Wikimedia's statement lacks the European perspective.
"This is by no means a sign of censorship, but rather one of compliance to European law," the commenter writes. "I would expect the Wikimedia Foundation to respect the law. Instead you announce that you have put up a pillory-style page you consider an act of transparency, listing all those cases that you have become aware of, which...runs the risk of being against the same said law. I think this is rather disappointing because it demonstrates the deep divide between the U.S. and Europe on these issues." | law |

There is no more exquisite photography in the world than drone photography. 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.
This 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.
However, 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.
Since 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.
Rules for Flying a Drone in Australia
According 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:
You should not fly a drone higher than 400 feet (120 meters) above the ground.
You 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.
You 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.
You should fly only one UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) at a time.
Drones that weigh more than 100 grams should be kept away from controlled aerodromes/airports for a distance of at least 5.5km.
You should never fly a drone above people, such as over beaches, sports ovals, parks, and public/social events or gatherings.
Unless 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.
Always respect personal privacy – Do not record any activities or photography without the consent of owners.
Operations Within a 3nm Radius of an Aerodrome/Airport
This 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?
To understand this particular restriction, you need to keep in mind three key facts:
An 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.
A distance of 3nm is approximately 5.5km.
Drone restrictions on operations within a 3nm radius vary depending on whether the aerodrome is controlled, non-controlled, or is an HLS (Helicopter Landing Site).
Operations Within a Controlled Aerodrome/Airport
A 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).
However, 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.
Operations Within a Non-Controlled Aerodrome/Airport
In 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.
Generally, 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:
The Movement Areas
The 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.
Areas where the drone can create a hazard to aircraft flying within the region.
Operations Within a Helicopter Landing Site (HLS)
When 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.
It 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.
To 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.
The following is a list of other HLS that have instrument approaches in Australia:
Newcastle Westpac Base
Gosford District Hospital
Victor Island West
Indeed, 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.
However, 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! | law |

(Long version - Short version)
The Gewaltfreie Aktion Atomwaffen Abschaffen (GAAA, Nonviolent Action to Abolish Nuclear Weapons) is a German non-governmental organisation dedicated to the total abolition of nuclear weapons.
After the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (NTBT) was signed in 1996, GAAA grew out of a group which had opposed nuclear testing. 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.
The 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.
For 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.
The 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.
Historically, 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:
In 1999, organised opposition to Germany’s illegal participation in the war against Yugoslavia, and its use of depleted uranium munitions
In 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
In 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
For 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.)
In 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).
GAAA 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.
GAAA 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. | law |

The club is aware of the ABC report that appeared on Sunday, 2 January 2022 regarding Jamie Mitchell and the Under 19 Australian cricket tour of Sri Lanka and India in 1985. The contents of the report are both confronting and disturbing.
There were a number of references in the ABC report to the Richmond Cricket Club.
Whilst the Australian Federal Police investigates the matter, it would be highly inappropriate for the Club to make any comment at this stage, other than to say that the Richmond Cricket Club will provide whatever support it can to Jamie Mitchell should he seek it. The Club does not tolerate abuse of any kind and the Club is totally committed to the health and safety of all of its people.
I and the Club hope and trust that the Australian Federal Police investigation ultimately will provide answers to the questions being sought by Jamie Mitchell and the entire Mitchell family. In the meantime, the Richmond Cricket Club will fully cooperate with the Australian Federal Police in any way that it can, although the passage of time since the Under 19 Australian cricket tour of Sri Lanka and India in 1985 and Jamie Mitchell’s involvement with our club means that there is no one at the Richmond Cricket Club with any contemporary knowledge of the matters referred to in the ABC report or likely to be in a position to offer anything of any value to the investigation.
Should you wish to discuss further the contents of this response or have any further enquiries in respect of its contents, please do not hesitate to contact Peter Gigliotti, Club President on 0409 977 149.

YOU MAY OPT OUT OF BINDING ARBITRATION BY SENDING IMO A WRITTEN NOTICE IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 13.
If you are unwilling or unable to be bound by these Terms, please don’t use the Service.
NO ACCESS TO EMERGENCY SERVICES: OUR SERVICE DOES NOT PROVIDE YOU ACCESS TO EMERGENCY SERVICES AND IS NOT MEANT TO REPLACE YOUR FIXED-LINE OR MOBILE TELEPHONE.
We sometimes use specially-defined terms in these Terms. When we do, we will capitalize that term once we’ve defined it. For example, when we use the word “Service,” we collectively mean imo, and any other associated products or services that we or our service providers might offer, including the Mobile App and the Public Service Account.
To use the Service, you will need to create an account with us and provide certain information about yourself, including your name and mobile phone number. 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.
Subject 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. You may use those copies of the Mobile App solely for your own personal, non-commercial use. We reserve all rights in the desktop and Mobile App not expressly granted to you by these Terms.
Certain features of the Service, such as upgrading to a premium account, the use of imo Out and Diamonds, may require you to pay a fee in order to use them. If you choose to purchase these features, you expressly authorize us or our payment processor to charge the payment method you provide for the applicable fee and all applicable taxes. When payments are processed by one of our third-party processors, you should read the terms and conditions of such third-party processor. Except as expressly set forth below, all fees are non-refundable.
When you purchase any additional features we may offer, there will be a one-time charge for that purchase. Once you purchase these features and whether used out or not, you will not be entitled to a refund. We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your use of paid features of the Service at any time and for any reason, without liability, pursuant to the terms of Section 14 of these Terms of Service. If we terminate or suspend your account with or without cause, in accordance with the terms of Section 14 of these Terms of Service, you will not be entitled to a refund for any fees you paid to us for these features, unless provided otherwise in the terms of sale.
The Service may offer Diamonds, or any other virtual items which may be issued by imo in the future to employ associated features in the Service (“Virtual Items”). Depending on the features, you may purchase, earn, or gift these Virtual Items in our Service. For example, Diamonds can be used for the imo Out, voice chat or purchasing virtual gift. Virtual Items may be available for purchase on the Mobile App, our website, and/or on our partners’ websites (in which case you should read the terms and conditions of the offering partner). By using the Service, you agree to accept the then-current purchase prices of Virtual Items at the time of your purchase. The balance of Virtual Items showed in your account does not represent real-world money, currency, or the equivalents. You understand that while you may purchase, earn, gift, or receive Virtual Items, you do not legally own them. They are simply a measurement of the extent of your limited license to use certain features in the Service. Virtual Items shall only be used within the Service and for the purposes described under these Terms. VIRTUAL ITEMS ARE SUBJECT TO OUR MODIFICATION, SUSPENSION, ELIMINATION, OR SUBSTITUTION AT ANY TIME AT OUR DISCRETION. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SELL, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE, OR REFUND THE VIRTUAL ITEMS IN YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE, EVEN WHEN YOUR ACCOUNT HAS BEEN SUSPENDED, DELETED OR TERMINATED BY YOU OR US, OR WHEN THE ASSOCIATED FEATURE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED OR SUSPENDED BY US.
We reserve the right to determine and modify the purchase prices of Virtual Items at any time without notice. We also reserve the right to suspend your use of any Virtual Items without liability if you violate these Terms. By using the Service, particularly our voice chat feature, you understand that any Virtual Items you purchased, used, or gifted to another user account shall be final and irrevocable. You understand that the gifting of certain Virtual Items in the voice chat feature is a form of appreciation of the recipient user’s voice chat content and may result in compensation to such recipient user, which is made solely at your discretion. Virtual Items purchased and/or obtained illegally, inappropriately, or fraudulently will result in suspension, freeze, or termination of your account.
The Service may contain links to websites or applications offered by third parties, including advertisements (“Third Party Sites”). We don’t control or endorse Third Party Sites, and we assume no responsibility for the law compliance, practices, accuracy, or content of any Third Party Sites. Your use of any Third Party Site is entirely at your own risk.

We will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim, action, or proceeding once we become aware of it; however, our failure to notify won’t affect your obligations hereunder (except to the extent that our failure to notify you materially prejudices your ability to defend the claim).
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY, SINCE IT LIMITS THE LIABILITY OF IMO. EACH OF THE SUBSECTIONS BELOW ONLY APPLIES UP TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. NOTHING HEREIN IS INTENDED TO LIMIT ANY RIGHTS YOU MAY HAVE WHICH MAY NOT BE LAWFULLY LIMITED.
A. YOU AGREE THAT THE SERVICE IS MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU ON AN “AS IS” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, AND THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE IS ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE RISK THAT YOU MIGHT BE EXPOSED TO CONTENT THAT IS OFFENSIVE, INDECENT, INACCURATE, OBJECTIONABLE, OR OTHERWISE INAPPROPRIATE). WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE OPERATION OF THE SERVICE, THE SAFETY OR SECURITY OF THE SERVICE, OR ANY CONTENT INCLUDED OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.
B. WE MAKE NO CLAIMS OR PROMISES ABOUT THE CONDUCT OF THIRD PARTIES. ACCORDINGLY, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE THAT MIGHT ARISE FROM THE ACTIONS OF THIRD PARTIES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IF ANOTHER USER MISUSES YOUR CONTENT OR IDENTITY, OR IF YOU HAVE A NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE WITH A THIRD PARTY ON THE SERVICE).
C. YOU AGREE THAT OUR MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR LOSSES OR DAMAGES THAT YOU SUFFER IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OR ACCESS TO THE SERVICES OR CONTENT, FROM ALL CAUSES OF ACTION AND ALL THEORIES OF LIABILITY, WILL BE LIMITED TO AND WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (I) THE AMOUNT, IF ANY, YOU PAID DIRECTLY TO IMO IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICE DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE ACTION GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY, OR (II) $100.

Our Service is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect, solicit, or store personally identifiable information from, or about children under the age of 13. For that reason, we ask you to confirm your age when you sign up for the Service by providing an accurate age. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child who is under 13 has provided us with personally identifiable information without his or her consent, he or she may delete the child’s entire account, by selecting the “Delete imo account” option in the child’s imo app settings or alert us at [email protected].
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without to that State’s conflict of laws provisions. Subject to Section 13 below (Binding Arbitration), for any claim, cause of action, or dispute that may arise between us and that is not subject to the binding arbitration provisions (i.e., if you choose to opt out of arbitration under Section 13(d)), you accept the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the Northern District of California. The parties expressly exclude application of the United Nations Convention for the International Sale of Goods to these Terms. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms, we may seek injunctive or other relief in any state, federal, or national court of competent jurisdiction for any actual or alleged infringement of our or any third party’s intellectual property and/or proprietary rights. Some countries (including those in the European Union) have laws that require agreements to be governed by the local laws of the consumer's country and or require that their substantive laws, including privacy laws, apply. This section does not override those laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms related to top-up service herein shall be governed by the laws of Singapore.
In the event of any dispute, claim, or cause of action that you may have against us arises out of or relates to your use of the Service (“Dispute”), you agreed that you will first contact us in writing of the Dispute at the contact information below (“Notice”). The Notice must describe 1) Your legal name, 2) Your imo account phone number; 3) the basis and nature of the Dispute; and 4) the specific relief sought. Upon our receipt of your Notice, the parties will attempt in good faith to informally resolve the Dispute within 30 calendar days before initiating arbitration proceeding (“Informal Resolution”).
If the parties are unable to resolve the Dispute through the Informal Resolution process, then you agreed that the Dispute shall be exclusively resolved and settled by confidential binding arbitration under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), and where applicable and appropriate, the AAA Supplementary Procedure for Consumer Related Disputes (www.adr.org) The initiating party may decide the arbitration to be conducted in person, online and/or be based on written submission. In the case of in-person arbitration, then it shall be conducted in California, Santa Clara County. The language shall be English. Any judgement on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
THE ARBITRATION WILL BE CONDUCTED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND IMO AGREE, NO ARBITRATOR OR JUDGE MAY CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS, OR OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING, AND MAY NOT AWARD CLASS-WIDE RELIEF.
You have the right opt out mandatory arbitration by sending us a written notice of your decision to opt out, within 30 days of the date you first accepted these Terms, to our physical address listed below. Your written notice must include your imo account phone number, your legal name, country of residence, and your email address. If you send us a written notice or if this binding arbitration provision is invalidated, in whole or in part, then the mandatory arbitration provisions in this Agreement will not apply, and the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 12 above shall apply. IF YOU DO NOT SEND THIS WRITTEN NOTICE, THEN YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISIONS IN THESE TERMS.
You may terminate these Terms at any time by closing your account, discontinuing your use of the Service, and providing us with a notice of termination at the address provided below.
We may close your account, suspend your ability to use certain portions of the Service, and/or ban you altogether from the Service for any or no reason, without notice or liability of any kind (except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2B of these Terms of Service). If we close or suspend your account for violating these Terms, such closure or suspension shall be deemed a termination with cause. We may also modify or terminate the imo Service without prior notice.
In the event of termination, whether by you or us, Sections 1, 3, 4, 5, and 9 through 15 of these Terms of Service will continue in full force and effect, including our right to use Your Content as detailed in Section 3C.
We may provide you with notices by email, regular mail, push notifications or communications through the Service. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications that we provide to you electronically (to the email address you provide in your account profile) satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.
You will comply with all applicable laws and regulations governing your use of the Service and posting of Your Content (including, without limitation, all applicable laws governing export control). In particular, but without limitation, you agree that:
By using the Services or the Mobile App, you represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo that prohibits receiving products, services, or software from the United States, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You will also not use the Services or the Mobile App for any purpose prohibited by U.S. law, including, but not limited to the development, design, manufacture or production of missiles, nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons.
You may not assign, transfer, or sublicense these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign, transfer, or sublicense these Terms without restriction, and without notice to you. Any assignment, transfer, or sublicense attempted in violation of these Terms will be void.
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding your use of the Service, and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements between you and us regarding the Service. The parties acknowledge that no reliance is placed upon any representation made, but not expressly contained in these Terms. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of that right or provision on our part.
If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, the remaining portions will remain in full force and effect, and any unenforceable portion will be construed and enforced in a manner that most closely reflects the intent of the original language.
The parties are independent contractors, and nothing in these Terms is intended to or shall create any type of joint venture, partnership, employer/employee, fiduciary, or franchise relationship between us.
We may modify these Terms from time to time. If a change reduces your rights in a meaningful way, we will notify you, such as by mail or a notice when you sign in. Other changes will be posted to our Policies page, and these Terms of Service will indicate the date of the latest revision. You should check these Terms of Service on a regular basis. You understand and agree that your continued use of our Service after any posted modification to these Terms of Service indicates your acceptance of those modifications. | law |

Welcome to the Licensing Office
The Licensing Office in Affamarg is a good architectural example of licensing offices throughout the Empire. 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.
The 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.
To 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.
This tattoo pattern is added to each of a citizen's licenses; licenses are in no way transferable.
An 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.
A 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.
To 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.
Some 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.
Other 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.
There 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.
A 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.
They 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.
Very 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.
Two 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.
Complex 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.
All 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.
Once 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.
The final license is filed in the 'pick-up' files.
A 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.
In 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.
The Empire does not charge income or sales taxes - their government is funded by the monopoly on time crystal and on license fees.
All 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.
These 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.
Many 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.
Once 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.
A 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.
The 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.
Any citizen would still be permitted to shop at higher (or lower!) class shopping establishments, they would just be required to pay cash.
These 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.
Falsification 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.
This 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.
Most fraud occurs during the justification form stage.
Some 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.
It 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.
Theft 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.
Stolen 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.
Anyone caught in possession of stolen licenses is punished severely, and usually ends up in an institution, judged incapable of being part of society.

If maintenance and inspection work is required, the customer must carry this out at his own expense.
(4) In the event of seizures or other interventions by third parties, the customer must notify us immediately in writing so that we can take legal action in accordance with Section 771 ZPO. If the third party is unable to reimburse us for the judicial and extrajudicial costs of a lawsuit in accordance with § 771 ZPO, the customer is liable for the loss we incur.
(5) The customer is entitled to resell the reserved goods in the ordinary course of business; However, he already now assigns to us all claims in the amount of the final invoice amount (incl. VAT) of our claim that arise from the resale to his buyer or third party, regardless of whether the purchased item is resold without or after processing has been. The customer remains revocably authorized to collect this claim even after the assignment. Our authority to collect the claim itself remains unaffected. However, we undertake not to collect the claim as long as the customer fulfills his payment obligations from the proceeds received, is not in default of payment and, in particular, has not filed for bankruptcy, composition or insolvency proceedings or payments have been suspended. If this is the case, the customer is obliged to notify us of the assigned claims and their debtors, to provide all information required for collection, to hand over the associated documents and to notify the debtors (third parties) of the assignment. (6) The processing or transformation of the reserved goods by the customer is always carried out for us free of charge. If the reserved goods are processed with other items that do not belong to us, we acquire co-ownership of the new item in the ratio of the value of the reserved goods (final invoice amount, including VAT) to the other processed items at the time of processing. The same applies to the item resulting from processing as to the goods delivered under reservation.
(7) If the reserved goods are inseparably mixed with other items that do not belong to us, we acquire co-ownership of the new item in the ratio of the value of the reserved goods (final invoice amount, including VAT) to the other mixed items at the time of mixing. If the mixing takes place in such a way that the customer's item is to be regarded as the main item, it is agreed that the customer shall transfer proportional co-ownership to us. The customer shall keep the resulting sole or joint ownership for us. (8) The customer also assigns to us the claims to secure our claims against him, which arise against a third party through the connection of the reserved goods with a property.
(9) We undertake to release the securities to which we are entitled at the customer's request insofar as the realizable value of our securities exceeds the claims to be secured by more than 20%; the selection of the securities to be released is incumbent on us.

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.
- Designated Agent
- 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.
- Next of Kin
- 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:
- a) Spouse or state-registered domestic partner
- b) Adult children
- c) Parents
- d) Siblings
- e) Other relatives
It’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.
- Funeral Director
- 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.
- Executor/Personal Representative
- 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.
- Court Appointment
- 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.
It 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.
To 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.
In 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. | 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.
The 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.
The 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.
Regarding 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.
If 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.
To 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. | law |

As the Senate looks to broker a compromise with the president on immigration reform, our leaders should pay attention to the consequences for children in immigrant families. 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.
Millions 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.
Yet 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.
Another 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.
Immigrant 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.
Perhaps 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.
Regrettably, 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.
The 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.
Any 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:
- Provide undocumented immigrants with a realistic path to citizenship.
- Promote timely family reunification and take other steps to avoid separations between family members.
- Ensure low-income immigrant families access to public health insurance and other benefits designed to assist low-wage workers and their families.
- Empower immigrant workers to report employment violations and other abuses without fear of deportation.
As 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. | law |

Disputes 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.
Our lawyers team with appropriate tax and accounting experts to provide our clients with a full range of advice throughout the litigation process.
DATA BREACH LITIGATION
Data breach litigation has become an emerging area of the law due to the universal practice of businesses storing private customer information in digital form. Businesses are required to adhere to strict federal and state standards, but unfortunately are often unwilling or unable to adequately protect your information. Baddley, Mauro & Yates represents clients in claims to recover for damages resulting from your personal and private data being stolen and/or released to the public.
Data related challenges are increasing in prominence and importance as the number of cyber-attacks continue to rise. The lawyers at Baddley, Mauro & Yates have the expertise to litigate data breach claims. The firm is currently litigating a national class action involving a corporate data breach against a foreign business.
In today’s business environment, the outcome of a contract dispute can impact the survival of a company or business entity, as well an individual’s investment or bargain. Our firm routinely litigates contract disputes in a wide variety of fields, including:
- Supplies and suppliers, including quality of goods and timeliness of delivery
- Franchise disputes
- Shareholder disputes
- Partnerships and LLCs
- Employment matters
- Non-solicitation and non-competition
- Commercial notes
- Bank and brokerage customer
It 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.
CLASS ACTION LITIGATION
Class 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.
The 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 contact one of our class action attorneys, contact us at 205-939-0090 or [email protected] for a free consultation.
Baddley, Mauro & Yates maintains an active appellate law practice involving issues of significance to our clients and, often, matters of public policy. The firm has extensive experience in all areas of appellate litigation, from interlocutory issues that arise during the course of litigation to all aspects of post-trial activity.
A case on appeal presents substantially different standards and issues than those presented at the trial level. Our attorneys have extensive experience in prosecuting and responding to appeals following trial judgments, and are skilled in identifying “mistakes of law” and carefully formulating the issues to provide the client with the best opportunity for success.
The firm routinely handles appeals on matters that we originally litigated, and also briefs and argues matters handled at the trial court by other counsel. In such matters, we are able to provide a new and objective perspective to the case.
We have successfully briefed and argued appeals in the appellate courts of the State of Alabama, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, surrounding Circuit Courts of Appeal, as well as the United States Supreme Court. | law |

Having paid tax throughout your life on your income, investments and savings, without effective inheritance tax planning your family and beneficiaries may incur a 40% reduction due to inheritance tax. To illustrate this fact, the HMRC received over £3.4bn in IHT receipts during the year 2013/14 [source: HMRC statistics].
Most 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.
Investments 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.
The Deepbridge IHT Service
The 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.
Designed with you in mind
Whether looking for growth or income from your investment, the Deepbridge IHT Service can work for you:
- The Growth Option: if receiving sufficient income from other sources, investors can maximize protection against inheritance tax by selecting the growth option.
- 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.
Maximum tax efficiency
To ensure maximum tax efficiency for the investor, the Deepbridge IHT Service is entirely investor-fee free.
Investors 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. Please refer to the Deepbridge Life Sciences SEIS Information Memorandum for further information regarding risks.
Information on this webpage relates to and is provided by Deepbridge Advisers Limited.
The content of this webpage should not be construed as financial advice. Any decision to invest should be made only on the basis of the relevant documentation for each investment. Past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance. The value of an investment may go down as well as up and investors may not get back the full amount invested. Investments in small unquoted companies carry an above-average level of risk. These investments are highly illiquid and as such, there may not be a readily available market to sell such an investment. Deepbridge Capital LLP, Deepbridge Advisers Limited and Enterprise Investment Partners LLP (together "the Sponsors," or "Sponsor) do not provide specific individual advice on the suitability of investments with regard to a potential investor's individual circumstances, risk tolerance or investment objectives and investors should seek independent financial advice if they are in any doubt whether a product is suitable for them. | law |

A summary of the key facts and figures in the fintech industry in 2021.
Investments Q1 2020 v Q1 2021
$46 million v $219 million
Electronic payments transactions 2020-2021 YoY
NGN92.71tn v NGN171.99tn
Q1 and Q3 investments: Fintechs Accounted For
93.09% and 46%
of investments in the Nigerian tech sector
Mobile inter-scheme transfers
Transaction value - NGN5.1tn
Transaction volume - 188.7m
2021 witnessed a lot of regulatory activity across the tech industry, particularly by the CBN and SEC. The regulations provided some clarity on a number of financial activities and updated previously issued regulations.
Nigeria 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.
In 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
The 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.
2021 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.
Increased participation by telecoms companies in agency banking
While 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.
BNPL 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.
Some 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.
The 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.
The 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.
In 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.

Certain questions arise consistently, so for easy reference we’ve prepared the FAQ below. Of course, check with your US advisors to confirm the right approach for your business.
1. US Trademarks: What’s the bottom line?
Before launching in the US you should strongly consider:
- 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
- filing a US trademark application if the clearance search results are favorable.
2. Do I need to bother?
It depends on how important your brand is to your US business plans and your company’s tolerance for potential US litigation risk.
If 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.
US 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.
Also, 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.
3. Does my UK or European Community trademark registration cover the US?
No. Trademarks are generally country-specific; e.g. a UK registration provides protection only in the UK.
However, 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.
4. 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?
Not necessarily. Here are two reasons why not:
- 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).
- 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.
5. I searched the USPTO online database and lots of companies have filed for my company’s mark – am I out of luck?
Not necessarily (again!).
Multiple 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.
6. Do I have to have a US company to apply for a US trademark registration?
No. In fact, for tax reasons, it’s often more desirable for a non-US company to own a US trademark registration.
7. Does my company need to be doing business in the US to apply for a US trademark registration?
No, 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.
8. Does using my mark on my company’s website count as using a brand in the US?
Potentially 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.
9. Do I need a trademark lawyer?
Although 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.
10. Realistically, what are the risks?
The practical risks of not properly addressing US trademarks include:
- 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).
- 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.
- Wasting time and money. You spend time and money filing your own trademark application and the USPTO rejects it for avoidable reasons.

In order to stop older iPhones with deteriorating batteries from shutting down unexpectedly, Apple acknowledged that it had updated certain devices back in 2017. 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.
The 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.”
If 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.
Apple provided the following statement to The Guardian:
“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.” | law |

Edited from Oxford, Bodleian Library, Rawlinson MS B 520.
Statute-books have been described as one of the most popular forms of secular literature in medieval England, and are the commonest form of medieval legal literature still extant. The statute-books all differ as to the choice and ordering of their contents, which generally include not only a selection of the statutes, but also a variety of related legal material aimed at explaining and illustrating them. The unedited Rawlinson MS B 520 is just such a compilation. Dating from the early years of the fourteenth century, it is the only known ME version of a medieval statute-book containing the ‘statuta antiqua’, that is, legislation dating from Magna Carta to the end of Edward II’s reign. Some 200 Latin and Anglo-Norman versions of these statute-books are still extant, but the most recent edition of almost all of the statutes goes back to 1810. This two-volume edition of Rawlinson MS B 520 will include statutes, memoranda and mnemonic notes (ff. lr – 54v) in Vol. I, tracts (ff. 54v – 97r) in Vol. II. | law |

Their knowledge runs beyond the creating of wills to encompass a comprehensive understanding of inheritance laws, property preparing, and probate processes. These appropriate specialists become advocates because of their customers, ensuring that their wishes are correctly reflected in legally binding documents and that the transfer of resources happens seamlessly.
One of many principal responsibilities of inheritance lawyers is to aid people in making legitimately noise property plans. This calls for the planning of wills, trusts, and different papers that state how a person’s assets should be distributed among heirs and beneficiaries. Inheritance lawyers work strongly with their customers to know their unique situations, household makeup, and economic targets, tailoring estate ideas to align with personal choices and priorities.
In case of a person’s driving, inheritance lawyers guide the executor or administrator of the estate through the probate process. Probate may be the legal technique where a deceased person’s may is validated, and their resources are distributed based on the terms of the will or, if there is number may, relating to state laws. Inheritance lawyers perform an essential role in navigating probate proceedings, ensuring submission with legal demands, and handling any disputes that’ll happen among heirs.
Beyond the technicalities of legitimate processes, inheritance lawyers give valuable counsel on methods to decrease property fees and improve the worthiness of inheritances. They possess a strong knowledge of duty laws and rules, letting them guide customers on structuring their estates in a tax-efficient manner. Including discovering possibilities such as for instance establishing trusts, giving strategies, and different elements to keep and transfer wealth with minimal duty implications.
Inheritance lawyers may also be proficient at handling cases involving complicated household dynamics or disputes around inheritances. They act as mediators, facilitating communication among beneficiaries and working towards amicable resolutions. In cases where disputes escalate, inheritance lawyers are ready to signify their clients in judge, advocating for his or her rights and interests.
While the appropriate landscape evolves, inheritance lawyers remain abreast of improvements in inheritance regulations and duty codes. They constantly upgrade their knowledge to supply customers with the most recent and relevant advice. This commitment to continuing knowledge ensures that clients receive guidance on the basis of the latest legitimate developments, permitting them to make knowledgeable decisions about their estates.
In addition to their appropriate acumen, inheritance lawyers frequently provide a compassionate and empathetic method with their practice. They recognize that property planning and probate techniques are inherently mental and can be tough for people and families. Inheritance lawyers lawyers provide help and support during what can be quite a hard and uncertain time, giving a constant hand to guide customers through the appropriate particulars while showing tenderness with their distinctive needs.
Eventually, inheritance lawyers are far more than legitimate specialists; they’re trusted advisors and advocates for people seeking to secure the economic potential of their liked ones. Whether developing a comprehensive estate strategy, moving the probate method, or solving complex inheritance disputes, these lawyers enjoy an important position in safeguarding their clients’ legacies and ensuring an easy move of assets from generation to the next. | law |

Vanderburgh County Sheriff Department in Indiana for 30 years. During that time he
served in almost all areas of law enforcement, as a hostage negotiator, handwriting
expert, Bunco-Fraud, juvenile, crimes against persons, and homicide.
In his law enforcement career he was lead investigator on numerous homicides, rapes,
home invasion and battery cases. But it was during his stint in Bunco-Fraud (white collar
crime) that he tracked and captured serial killer Joseph Weldon Brown. Reed’s acclaimed
book, Blood Trail, is the true account of the investigation, which subsequently unearthed
a serial killer claiming the lives of fourteen victims. While serving a life-without-parole
sentence for these murders, Brown strangled his cellmate, made coffee, and called for the
guard to move the body.
Reed's first book, The Cruelest Cut, introduces detective Jack Murphy and his partner,
Liddell Blanchard, as they chase a pair of revenge-driven serial killers through the
streets of Evansville. The Cruelest Cut was released in October 2010. The Coldest
Fear, is also set in Evansville, where the detectives attempt to follow the reasoning of an
unfathomable serial killer who is wielding a bone axe. The Coldest Fear was released in
September 2011. Both of these works have been translated into German and Polish.
Reed’s third detective Jack Murphy thriller, Final Justice, addresses the corruption and
failings within the criminal justice system. Final Justice was released September 2013.
Reed is currently at work on the book that introduces Jack Murphy, Murphy’s Law, to be
released in mid 2014. | law |

The SEER-Medicare linked data must be protected. The Principle Investigator (PI) must sign a Data Use Agreement (PDF, 257 KB) before obtaining these data. All staff with access to these files should also sign the DUA for the PI’s records. Any investigator who has obtained the SEER-Medicare data (including all persons with access to the data) must take all reasonable measures to ensure the safety and confidentiality of the data. Data storage should comply with the data storage plan that was detailed in the approved application. Any change to that plan must be submitted for review and approval before the change can be implemented.
The preferred method of storage for SEER-Medicare linked data is on an institutional server with password controlled access. If it is necessary to store these files by some other method, this storage plan must be detailed in the data storage and protection section of the application. No files should be stored on portable devices or removable media without permission. A portable device includes any non-fixed equipment that contains an operating system which may be used to create, access, or store SEER-Medicare data. This includes but is not limited to personal computers, laptops, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and smart phones. Removable media include, but are not limited to: CDs, DVDs, MP3 players, removable memory, external hard drives and USB drives (thumb / flash drives).
If special permission has been granted for portable device or removable media storage, all files on these devices must be password protected AND encrypted. Encryption is a method used to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of the data. SEER-Medicare data stored on portable devices or removable media must be encrypted using one of the following approved encryption standards: Data Encryption Standard (DES) that uses a 64-bit input-output block size; Advanced Encryption Algorithm (AES) that uses a 128, 192, or 256-bit key size; or International Data Encryption Algorithm (IDEA) that uses a 128-bit key size. If any portable device or removable media containing SEER-Medicare data are lost or stolen or if the there is any reason to believe that data security has been compromised, the investigator must notify the SEER-Medicare contact within 24 hours/first business day of discovering the data breach/loss.
SEER-Medicare users may access the SEER-Medicare data using an institutionally provided secure VPN. The user’s PC may support the VPN. All SEER-Medicare data must remain on the server and no SEER-Medicare data should be downloaded to the user’s computer. The PI should control all access to the SEER-Medicare data and should monitor all VPN access to ensure compliance with these rules.
All media on which the SEER-Medicare data are delivered must be stored in a secure location, such as a locked file cabinet in a locked office, only accessible by the PI and/or designated staff.
All datasets containing restricted variables must be kept physically separate from any other SEER-Medicare files. Separate access controls with strong user authentication (username/password, digital certifications, etc.) must be established to allow limited and trackable access to these files.
For a complete description of data use and storage requirements, please refer to the SEER-Medicare Data Use Agreement (PDF, 257 KB). | law |

The complex gambling expansion bill has been announced dead by lawmakers, as the current legislative session is ending this week. Florida’s promising deal with the Seminoles, who operate seven casinos in the state, was also a part of the legislation. Allowing slot machines in additional counties was another integral part of the measure. This issue was highly debated by the lawmakers.
The reason behind the failed efforts was the competing versions in the House and Senate. Few of the gaming expansion issues are playing out through the courts.
The tribe, which has a blackjack monopoly in the state, is currently running those games without a state agreement. The last one expired previous year and both the tribe and the state have been trying to form a new deal. Tribal gaming is managed by the federal government.
The legislation would have favoured the tribe to run on blackjack and keep the monopoly in exchange for $3 billion to the state over the next 7 years.
The bill maker called the attempt to appease all gaming interests as “three-dimensional chess.”

Mr Gehlot on Saturday met Governor Kalraj Mishra, hours after two MLAs of a regional party that withdrew support from the Congress government announced that they will back the administration. 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.
The 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.
The 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.
Sachin 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.
Mr 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. | 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.

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.
After 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.
Officer 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.
Officer 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.
Responding 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.
Sergeant 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.
Officer 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.
Officer 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.
A 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.
During 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.
On 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. | law |

BUSINESSES AND ARTS ENTERPRISES INCENTIVES AND AMENITIES
ADMISSIONS & AMUSEMENT TAX EXEMPTION PROGRAM
Arts venues and enterprises dedicated to visual or performing arts located within the District are exempt from the collection of the State of Maryland's Admissions and Amusement Tax. 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.
PROPERTY TAX CREDIT
The 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.
The building must be zoned:
The project must include either new construction (whole or in part) or renovation to certain buildings located within the District
The building/renovation must encompass space for an A&E Enterprise or create workspace or live-work space for artists
This tax abatement is available for a period of up to 10 years based on the level of improvements made to the property.
The 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.
INCENTIVES FOR ARTISTS WHO SELL, WORK, OR PERFORM IN THE DISTRICT
INCOME TAX SUBTRACTION MODIFICATION PROGRAM
Qualifying 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.
This 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.
To take advantage of this incentive, qualifying artists must complete Maryland tax forms 502 and 502AE.
PUBLIC ART AMENITY – OPTIONAL METHOD OF DEVELOPMENT
In 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. | law |

THE NEXT DEADLINE FOR LICENSURE RENEWAL IS NOVEMBER 30, 2015.
If you have further questions on LSW or LCSW licensing, please contact the Illinois Department of Financial & Professional Regulation (IDFPR). Due to the fact that the NASW Illinois Chapter does not handle licensure in the state of Illinois, we must direct all questions (regardless of membership status) regarding licensure to the IDFPR. If you have questions regarding Type 73 Certificate please contact the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) at 217.782.4321.
To register for the licensing exam, you must contact the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) who issues the exam.
Unfortunately, we do not have any other additional resources (other than what is on this page) or special access to assist you in this process. We do sympathize with you regarding the wait time and difficulty of navigating the system. We can only encourage you to stay on hold and keep at it; eventually you will get through and will receive the answer from IDFPR and/or ISBE you need.
All specific questions concerning licensure, and individual license, or a particular application for licensure MUST be directed to IDFPR.
Illinois statute requires that any person engaged as a social worker (except in some cases if employed by the United States government or in some cases by the state of Illinois—and only if verified by IDFPR) must be licensed. No person may represent her/himself as a licensed social worker or licensed clinical social worker without obtaining the proper license. | law |

The Council of the District of Columbia is considering a proposal that would allow vacant lots as well as plots of land owned by the District to be turned into urban farms—creating a land leasing initiative, a new tax credit for food donations, and tax abatement for properties leased to become urban farms.
"There's parcels of land in D.C. that maybe aren't in the right neighborhoods or areas for development yet," Councilmember David Grosso told DCist. "One of the secrets about development is that it happens when it wants to. It's very hard to create development in a place or location where it's not ready."
Urban farms are a attractive option for underutilized property in cities. The lack of permanence makes it an appealing option in that it does not preclude future development on the site, while providing fresh food and removing an eyesore in the interim.

When tested, cars would show legal emission levels, but during regular driving, they would have much higher emissions, in some cases as much as 40 times the permissible level.
EPA has threatened to impose fines up to 18 billion dollars.
Justice Department started a criminal investigation.
Reuters reported that according to EPA, Volkswagen initially denied it was trying to game the inspections, and claimed higher emissions where due to "various technical issues and unexpected in-use conditions.”
After EPA threatened to withhold certification for its 2016 models, Volkswagen admitted they gamed the tests. Volkswagen management said it was "deeply sorry" for the breach of trust, and promised full cooperation with German authorities.
In the meantime, EPA said they would test cars made by other automakers to see if similar deception took place.

CHARLOTTE AMALIE — A federal judge has ordered a woman who admitted to sending more than 20 letters containing white powder to public and private buildings on St. Thomas to be released to her sister’s custody.
District Court Magistrate Judge Ruth Miller issued the order Thursday following a hearing on a motion for detention by federal prosecutors and warned defendant Eugenia Winston to adhere to the conditions of her release.
On August 30, on St. Thomas, three suspicious powder letters were found at the U.S. Federal Building and a private attorney’s office.
A number of people were quarantined, buildings evacuated and scenes secured. 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).
On 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.
CST 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.
The 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.
For 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.
If 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.
The 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. | law |

Despite several objections from Seattle Police Officers’ Guild, the city’s mayor and the police chief, the proposal received 7-1 vote.
Eventually, the plan would slash the funding to police department, not covering the fifty percent a few had sought. 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.
The only ‘no’ vote came from Councilmember Kshama Sawant as she felt that the proposal did not go that far enough, as per MyNorthWest.com.
A 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.
The city council’s plan further eliminates the officers from one team that dismantles the homeless camps.
As 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. | law |

The material may not, without HMK Bilcon’s prior written consent, be used by the Buyer for anything other than installation, operation and maintenance of the Product, and the material may not be copied or transferred to third parties. The material must be returned to HMK Bilcon if no agreement is reached on the delivery of the Product. If this is not observed, the Buyer is liable for compensation for both direct and indirect losses.

A 12-month warranty is given for paintwork. As far as spare parts are concerned, however, HMK Bilcon only replaces within a period of 12 months from the date of delivery. If HMK Bilcon has conducted installation and assembly, the liability period is calculated from the day the Product is delivered. If not stated otherwise, HMK Bilcon does not provide a guarantee for the sale of used equipment.

Driving with a service van, oil and bills for repairs conducted elsewhere are not reimbursed.
33. In any case of a defect in the delivery, HMK Bilcon has the right to conduct rectification and/or redelivery, without this entailing an obligation to compensate HMK Bilcon. If the Buyer has had changes made to the delivered Products or disposed of the Product before the end of the liability period, HMK Bilcon’s obligation ceases.
34. Complaints regarding delay must be made in writing to HMK Bilcon within 14 days of receipt of the Product or the invoice.

39. HMK Bilcon’s obligation to make delivery is suspended in the following cases, without any claim being made against HMK Bilcon, and without the agreement on delivery being cancelled:
39a. In the event of a strike, lockout or other work stoppage at HMK Bilcon’s company or at another company from which necessary deliveries for this order are made, in the event that HMK Bilcon’s sub-supplier of necessary deliveries for the order in question goes bankrupt, goes into restructuring or is otherwise affected by an incident, etc. as described in this provision, in the event of force majeure, including war, terrorism, blockade, quarantine, fire, ice, traffic disruptions, accidents, breakdowns, sea accidents and other unforeseen causes that prevent or significantly complicate the execution of the order or its trans- port to the place of delivery.
39b. 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.

To the extent that HMK Bilcon incurs shipping costs, etc., HMK Bilcon is entitled to claim these reimbursed by the Buyer and set them off against the Buyer’s possible claims against HMK Bilcon. After completed repair or exchange, the Buyer is obliged to collect the repaired or exchanged Product from HMK Bilcon at his own expense and risk.
42. For product liability, the rules applicable at all times according to the Product Liability Act apply. To the extent that nothing else follows from inalienable legal rules, HMK Bilcon cannot be held liable. HMK Bilcon is not responsible for damage caused by the sold material to (i) real estate or movable property that occurs while the sold material is in the Buyer’s possession or custody, or (ii) products manufactured by the Buyer or on products in which these are included, or for damage to immovable property or movable property caused by the products manufactured by the Buyer as a result of the Products sold by HMK Bilcon.

A tax lien is a lien imposed by a local taxing authority upon a piece of real property to secure the payment of taxes. 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.
Are these the same as tax deeds?
No. 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.
Which is right for my retirement account?
Self-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.
How do these investments work?
There are actually two ways in which you can invest in tax liens or tax deeds with your MyRA self-directed IRA.
You 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.
Alternatively, 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.
How do I get started?
First 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.
If you need assistance with getting started, give us a call at 888-753-MyRA (6972) and we will discuss the investment with you. | law |

This national law firm specializes in complex litigation on behalf of clients who have been injured. The settlements they have made and the verdicts they have won have recovered billions of dollars for their clients.
Injury cases can hinge on an attorney’s ability to distill a client’s life story into a few key events.
For toxic exposure cases, this law firm had to document the precise events that led to their clients’ asbestos exposure and their subsequent debilitation from mesothelioma, an illness caused by exposure to asbestos that often results in premature death.
Each exposure had to be precisely detailed. But the firm’s internal case management teams and paralegals did not have the ability to handle this critical task quickly, accurately, or cost-effectively.
Aptara designed and instituted a formal workflow through which the firm’s case files are analyzed the relevant actionable information is concisely documented and compiled into a comprehensive Case Summary that can be efficiently reviewed by attorneys handling large case loads.
Aptara’s legal experts:
- Carefully review lengthy asbestos case files and testimonies
- Extract the pertinent information
- Organize the information chronologically and according to exposure type, number of exposures, and where they occurred
- Cross-reference it to client testimony
- Include smoking/alcohol habits, housing situation, military experience, and union activities are also chronicled to provide a complete picture of event’s related to a claim
Aptara’s team of case summary authors is comprised of full-time employees with university and/or law school degrees. These employees are carefully screened, interviewed, trained, and tested prior to being assigned to a case.
Case Summaries can be turned around in as little as 24 hours and always undergo a rigorous quality control process comprised of reviews by three separate specialists before being delivered.
This large national law firm is now able to:
- Swiftly review and process background materials for complex cases
- Settle or go to trial more quickly for plaintiffs seeking financial relief for injuries, or for family members who have lost a loved one
- Reduce their costs
- Keep expenses predictable: per-page pricing fixes costs regardless of a case’s complexity
- Focus on higher value core legal work | 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.
Contribution 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.
Outright gifts of cash or marketable securities are encouraged as the most immediately beneficial to the Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks Foundation.
If 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.
Should 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.
Gifts 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.
Individual financial needs and goals will determine the method most appropriate.
The 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.
A 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.
You 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.
Gift 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.
A 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.
A 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.
A 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.

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).
This 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.
How to get there
Location: 377 Russell Street, Melbourne, Victoria, 3000
It 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.
Admission Fee & Operating Hours
Adult 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.
They are open daily 9AM – 5PM (except Christmas & Good Friday).
Old Melbourne Gaol’s History
“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.”
The 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.
The 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.
After 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.
This 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.
Inside 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.
There 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.
This 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. | 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.
The 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:
EPIC’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.
Changes “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.
But 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:
That’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).
That’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.
Ask.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? | law |

FGM has been illegal in Britain since 1985 but, apparently, no one has ever been convicted of this crime in the UK. That certainly isn’t because no young women are being mutilated. In the London area alone there were 166 complaints over the past four years. And last month a Sunday Times investigation uncovered some of those who are willing to commit this crime for a few hundred pounds. If you would also like to sign the petition here’s the link:
These women and girls deserve the same right to life as the rest of us. Regardless of your beliefs FGM can make every day a physical or emotional agony for these women and even put their life in danger. It’s horrific, unnecessary and something that doesn’t belong in this century. Please end it. | 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!
Law 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.
Law 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.
Law 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.
So, 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.
"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. | 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.
Acquiring 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.
- Successful pawn shop operation in Texas begins with obtaining state-required licensing.
- Financial planning and understanding pawn industry regulations are crucial.
- Operational essentials include location setup, inventory management, and customer service.
Getting Started with Your Pawn Shop in Texas
Entering 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.
Creating a Business Plan
A 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.
Understanding Texas Pawnbroking Regulations
Navigating 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.
Selecting a Strategic Location
The 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.
Legal and Financial Considerations
Opening 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.
Forming Your Business Structure
When 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:
- Sole Proprietorship: This is an unincorporated business with one owner who pays personal income tax on profits.
- Partnership: In a partnership, two or more people share ownership. Partners are responsible for debts and report their share of business profits or losses.
- Limited Liability Company (LLC): An LLC provides liability protection like a corporation, with the tax benefits of a sole proprietorship or partnership.
- Corporation: This entity is independent of its owners and has extensive requirements, including a board of directors and corporate officers.
An Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS is essential for tax administration and opening a business bank account.
Securing Pawnbroker’s Licensing
Obtaining a pawnbroker’s license is essential for legal operation. Applicants must provide:
- Personal affidavits and employment history
- A complete background check with electronic fingerprints
- A financial statement proving a sound financial situation
The Texas Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner oversees the entire process. Coordination with the Comptroller of Public Accounts ensures adherence to state tax requirements.
Managing Finances and Accounting
Financial management entails:
- Organizing budgets and cash flow
- Establishing accounting procedures
- Handling sales taxes and financial reporting to regulatory bodies
Pawn 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.
Setting Up Shop
Opening 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.
Building Inventory and Supplies
An 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.
- Inventory Acquisition: Jewelry, electronics, etc.
- Supplies: Tags, shelves, cases, software for inventory management
Ensuring Safety and Insurance
Safety 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.
- Security Hardware: Cameras, safes, alarm systems
- Insurance Policies: Liability, property, and employee coverage
Launching Your Pawn Shop
A 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.
- Marketing: Website development, social media campaigns
- Grand Opening: Promotional events, special offers
A 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.
Understanding Pawn Loans and Collateral
Pawn 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:
- Appraisal Skills: Accurate valuation of collateral items.
- Loan Terms: Clear communication of interest rates, loan duration, and redemption policies.
- Legal Compliance: Following state regulations on lending practices.
Building Trust and Customer Relations
Establishing 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:
- Transparency: Providing customers with clear contract terms for pawn loans.
- Customer Service: Responsive and respectful service encourages repeat business.
- Security: Proper insurance to safeguard customer’s collateral items.
Promotion 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.

The process includes creating an online account through the Texas Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner’s ALECS system and submitting the application digitally. Applicants should ensure browser compatibility and turn off auto-fill features to avoid technical issues.

Acquiring an existing pawn license involves careful consideration of the shop’s financial health, reputation, and compliance with Texas regulations. Prospective buyers must also complete a transfer application through state regulatory bodies.
What are the potential earnings from operating a pawn shop, and what factors influence profitability?
Earnings from operating a pawn shop vary based on loan interest rates, retail sales margins, and inventory turnover. Local economic conditions, store location, and effective management influence a pawn shop’s profitability.
Which agency oversees pawn shop operations, and how does compliance vary across the state?
The Texas Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner (OCCC) oversees pawn shop operations statewide, ensuring compliance with financial regulations. Compliance requirements may include periodic reporting, recordkeeping, and adherence to consumer protection laws, which remain consistent across Texas. | law |

Nuvo Group was successfully selected by Brookfield Multiplex to deliver the $ 1.7 million electrical and communications packages for the expansion of the site’s secure perimeter zone. This was a 2.3km2 upgrade to the existing facility.
Over 18 months, Nuvo completed construction and installation of a new sterile zone, equipment cubicles, cameras, electric fence, UPS and a mobile phone detection array.
Works were carried out on a live operational prison facility. This involved working closely with the end client, Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), and ensuring close adherence to security protocols while allowing ongoing site access to staff and subcontractors. Critical shutdowns were tightly managed to ensure essential services were maintained throughout and that impacts to daily prison operations were minimised.
Brookfield Multiplex had won the master builder contract after another builder failed to meet their obligations on the project. Thus, Nuvo and Brookfield Multiplex were under tight client scrutiny from the first day onsite. Nuvo sufficiently impressed the end client, successfully gaining an additional $3.1 million of additional electrical works from the DHHS. | law |

What is Tax Increment Finance and how can it help my business?
Tax increment finance (TIF) is a popular finance tool used by communities across Wisconsin. 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.
In 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.
If 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.
From 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.
In 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. If you would like to discuss the topic further, please contact Ron Van Straten at (920) 405-3828. | law |

The lightly attended, 20-minute event was the final Island stop of an extensive public outreach campaign by the commission that began last fall.
Following 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.
Commissioners received a warm welcome, with several commenters giving them kudos for the commission’s work to date.
Aja Atwood, of Mashpee, co-founder of Trella Technologies, complimented the commission on its public outreach efforts.
“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.”
Atwood 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.”
Kaylea 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.”
David 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.
Mr. 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.
Mr. 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.
Massachusetts towns can authorize a 3 percent local sales tax at retail dispensaries.
Geoff 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.
Tisbury selectman Tristan Israel asked that the commission regulate packaging of edibles so that children do not mistake infused products for candy.
The 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.
Written comments can be submitted to the commission at [email protected]. until 5 pm, Thursday, Feb. 15.
Speaking 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.
“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.”
McBride 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.”
Although 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.
“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.”
McBride 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.
She said product testing will initially be done by independent, accredited laboratories. In the long run, the commission hopes to establish state-run testing facilities.
Addressing 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. | 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?
It’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?
One case scenario –a Listing agent sets a low asking price for the express purpose of driving bids up artificially.
How ethical is that? It’s lawful, but is it ethical?
Usual 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.
Suddenly, 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!
Lawful, but is it ethical? What kind of response should agents have to this situation? | 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.
San 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].
San 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.
San 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.” | 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.
When and Where to File
As 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.
As 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.
Payment of Taxes
You 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.
You 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.
To Get Help
The 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.
Social Security and Medicare Taxes
You 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. | law |

This Office has received feedback, through various channels, on the difficulty in downloading of School Forms (SFs) with preloaded data from the Learner Information System (LIS) due to congestion brought about by the huge volume of users and other technical issues. In order to resolve this difficulty, the Information and Communications Technology Service (ICTS) is in the process of undertaking system improvement measures.
In the interim, this Office shall allow the relaxing of some provisions of DO 11, s. 2018, particularly item no. 2, paragraph 2 and 3 on page 4; paragraph 1, sentence 1 to 4 on page 7; and item no. 2.2 on page 8.
Class advisers experiencing difficulty in downloading of SFs from the LIS may use SFs available through direct download in the DepEd website under the School and ALS Forms section of the Resource tab. Class advisers are likewise allowed to adjust/correct the LIS download SFs for the current school year.
The instruction for the school system administrator to sign/initial on the SFs shall remain in effect. In addition, he/she must also fix a notation on each record with discrepancy in the system vis-à-vis manually-prepared/adjusted SFs. The school head, being the official accountable for all learners’ records in the school, shall ensure all necessary adjustment will be done once LIS normalizes.

Chapter 220 Subdivision Land Development Ordinance
Amendments coming soon.
Chapter 245 Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map
DRAFT ZONING ORDINANCE AND ZONING MAP AMENDMENTS
The Zoning Ordinance (Chapter 245) contains land use regulations for land within the Township. 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.
Beginning 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.
On 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.
NOTICE OF ADOPTION
The Board of Commissioners adopted Ordinance 771 on Wednesday, December 20, 2017.
NOTICE OF ENACTMENT
The 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. The meeting will take place on Wednesday, December 20, 2017.
A public hearing will be held on Monday, November 13, 2017 at 6:00 p.m. here at the Township buidling. The public hearing is an opportunity for residents provide testimony on the proposed amendments within the Zoning Ordinance and the Zoning Map.

By Michael J. Macaluso, DLA Piper LLP, March 6, 2012, originally published by Thomson Reuters Business Law Currents.
March 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.
In 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
Meanwhile, 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.
The 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.
The 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.
Insufficient 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.
Fund 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.
With 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.
If 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.”
In 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.
The 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.
In 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.

A Freedom of Information request by the leading temporary car insurance company Cuvva to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) revealed the most frequent mistakes drivers made during the first quarter of 2023, which resulted in penalty points added to their licenses.
Most motorists who received penalty points for crossing the limits on roads that are public (156,457) were issued with an SP30 offense code. This is particularly alarming because speed is one of the major factors that cause fatal road crashes.
Following 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).
If 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.
In certain instances, police may be able to take away or even destroy a vehicle that is without insurance.
Utilizing 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.
The 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).
Five of the most frequently committed road traffic violations
- SP30: Exceeding the statutory speed limit on public roads – 156,457 motorists
- SP50: Exceeding the speed limit limit on an autobahn – 38,386 drivers
- In10: Driving a car that is not covered against risk from third parties 10 286 drivers
- CU80: Infraction to the rules in relation to controlling the vehicle, for example, the use of mobile phones 7,135 drivers
- MS90: Failure to provide information regarding the identity of the driver, etc. 5,224 drivers | 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. | 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].
7. Penalty for failure to meet certification requirements
I 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”!)
The 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.
A 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.
Such a legal basis would also be necessary were OSHWA to wish to be able to demand that a product cease using the logo.
A “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).
If 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.
Should 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.
It 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.
Publication 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.
I’m having a hard time imagining how a penalty would even work.
I 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.
A better way could be to have a online forum, where people can challenge on credibility of “Openness” a open source hardware projects. Allow anonymity.
This will filter & bring up cases which may really be worth reviewing.
If 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.
But … that will cost to run … The question is linked with “financial resources of OSHWA”.

CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT CUSTOMER BEARS ALL RESPONSIBILITY, AND HEADLINE WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR DECISIONS BASED ON ANY OUTPUTS, OR ANY OTHER INFORMATION PROVIDED TO CUSTOMER VIA THE SERVICE OR BY HEADLINE.
11. GENERAL PROVISIONS
11.1 Assignment. Neither party may assign the Agreement or any of its rights or obligations under the Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party, except that Headline may assign the Agreement without the consent of Customer as part of a corporate reorganization, or upon a change of control, consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all of its business or assets related to the Agreement, or a similar transaction or series of transactions. Subject to the foregoing, the Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
11.2 Force Majeure. Except for the obligation to pay money, neither party will be liable for any failure or delay in its performance under the Agreement due to any cause beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation an act of war, terrorism, act of God, earthquake, flood, pandemic, embargo, riot, sabotage, labor shortage or dispute, governmental act, failure or degradation of the Internet or any third-party service provider. The delayed party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to correct such failure or delay in performance.
11.3 Governing Law. The Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of California without reference to conflict of laws principles. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Subject first to Section 11.5, if a lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted under the Agreement, the parties will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in San Francisco County, California, and the parties hereby agree and consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts.
11.4 Third-Party Links. The Service may contain links to or offer integrations with third-party websites and services, including supported third-party cloud-based applications that may integrate with the Service (“Third-Party Links”). Such Third-Party Links are not under the control of Headline, and Headline is not responsible for any Third-Party Links. 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.
11.5 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:
- bringing an individual action in small claims court;
- seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction;
- pursuing an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; or
- 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.
11.6 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. The Agreement may only be amended by a writing signed by both parties. The Agreement may be executed in counterparts. The headings in the Agreement are inserted for convenience and are not intended to affect the interpretation of the Agreement. All notices provided by Headline to Customer under this Agreement may be delivered in writing by electronic mail to the electronic mail address provided for the Customer Account. Customer must give notice to Headline in writing by nationally recognized overnight delivery service or U.S. mail to the address set forth above. All notices shall be deemed to have been given immediately upon delivery by electronic mail; or, if otherwise delivered upon the earlier of receipt or two (2) business days after being deposited in the mail or with a courier as permitted above. 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. The parties agree to comply with all applicable export control laws and regulations related to their performance of the Agreement. | law |
