In the UK, data protection is governed by the Data Protection Act 2018 which controls how personal information is used by organisations, businesses and the government. Parishes must comply with its requirements, just like any other charity or organisation. This guide tells you what you need to do. You may also find our checklist (http://www.parishresources.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/GDPRchecklist.pdf) and sample consent forms helpful (http://www.parishresources.org.uk/gdpr/consent/), and there is a longer briefing note available for people leading on this at parish level (http://www.parishresources.org.uk/wp- content/uploads/Parish-Guide-to-GDPR.pdf).
Explaining the jargon:
Personal data is information about a living individual which is capable of identifying that individual.
Processing is anything done with/to personal data, including storing it. The data subject is the person about whom personal data are processed.
The data controller is the person or organisation who determines the how and what of data processing, in a parish usually the incumbent or PCC.
A. Underlying Principles,
The law is complex, but there are several underlying principles, including that personal data:
- will be processed lawfully, fairly and transparently.
- is only used for a specific processing purpose that the data subject has been made aware of and no other, without further consent.
- collected on a data subject should be “adequate, relevant and limited.” i.e. only the minimum amount of
data should be kept for specific processing.
- must be “accurate and where necessary kept up to date”
- should not be stored for longer than is necessary, and
- Is handled in a way that ensures appropriate security.
There is stronger legal protection for more sensitive information, such as religious beliefs.
B. Consent, Rights and Accountability
- Consent – if you’re sending direct marketing by post, you don’t need consent. However, if you’re putting someone’s name on a letter or flyer, you’ll need a lawful basis for using their personal data. This also applies if you know the name or other information which can identify the person you’re sending the marketing to.
- Rights – Data subjects have a number of rights, including that of knowing how data is used by the data
controller, of knowing what data is held about them, of correcting any errors and generally the right ‘to be forgotten’. The PCC will need to make provision for people to exercise these rights, including developing a Privacy Notice.
- The GDPR introduces a stronger requirement on accountability for data controllers. This means that you must be able to show that you are complying with the principles by providing evidence.
C. Key Points for Parishes
- Consent for one element of data processing does not give you permission to do anything else with it. You cannot mail everyone on your electoral roll, or even everyone for whom you have a Gift Aid declaration, with fundraising communications. You need further consent.
- If the purpose of an individual supplying data to the PCC is clear and unambiguous, then a separate consent is not required. For example, a completed electoral roll application form provides sufficient
consent to add them to the roll. Likewise, a completed Gift Aid declaration is sufficient consent for you to claim Gift Aid on the relevant donations. However, as stated above, you can’t then use that data for other purposes.
- Where you collect consents, e.g. to be added to an email mailing list, you will need to store those consents. You are likely to need several different consent forms (or elements within a single form) to cover different areas of data processing within the life of the church.
- Note that each incumbent or priest-in-charge is considered to be a separate data controller from their PCC because they are separate legal entities.
- In our case Richard Pepys acts as Data Controller for the Meon Bridge Benefice.

Shannon MacDonald ● January 5, 2023 ● 6 min read
Addressing consumer concerns regarding cyber security is an important part of earning and keeping your customer’s trust and business. Data breaches and the fallout from these events can seriously hamper this trust. With the right PCI compliance practices and tools in place, your company can become one that consumers rely on for secure transactions every time.
The Modern Landscape of Cyber Security is Fraught with Risk
These days, it seems that nearly every news outlet features regular coverage of data breaches and newly-revealed risks to digital data security.
This makes sense when you examine the landscape of our modern markets. We do almost all of our shopping online – and most of our payment processing, too. Even brick-and-mortar retailers use digital forms of payment processing. Every time you swipe your card or enter your customer account information into a register, you are handing over your personal and financial data to that retailer, their payment processor, and others.
If that sounds concerning, you are not alone. Many consumers report worrying about the inherent risks of doing business this way. However, most of us are not in a position to stop using digital payment processing for our personal or business transactions. This means that nearly all of us are potentially at risk of experiencing data breach events during our lifetimes.
Data Breaches Expose Merchants and Consumers to Numerous Concerns
Hearing the phrase “data breach” may be frightening, but what do they really mean for those involved? More than just a consumer’s personal information being stolen, a breach also involves numerous risks to retailers, payment processors, and everyone else involved in the handling of this data.
Beyond consumers being really angry, and potentially losing not only their trust but their business – a business may also have to deal with:
- Hefty fines and fees. Should a breach occur, and you are non-compliant with the PCI DSS, your business could face large fines. Non-compliance for 1-3 months can cost anywhere between $5,000 - $10,000. 4-6 months can run you $25,000-$50,000 per month, while non-compliance for a period of greater than seven months can mean fines of up to $100,000 per month! These fines can spell certain death for an otherwise thriving business, so compliance is all the more important.
- Legal risks. Consumers can – and often do – bring legal action against businesses that allow their personal information to be stolen.
- Fraudulent chargebacks. If personal information is obtained and used to make purchases, these purchases can result in chargebacks. These chargebacks cost companies billions each year.
BIN Attacks and Card Testing and How to Avoid Attacks
The first six numbers of a credit card are known as the BIN, or Bank Identification Number. These are always linked to the entity that issued the card. A BIN attack is using a known BIN and systematically generating the remaining digits of a credit card number, usually by using BOTs. Scammers then visit a business’s e-commerce site and begin a process known as brute force card testing. This entails hundreds of rapid e-commerce transactions for small dollar amounts to confirm which card numbers work.
Small transactions of less than $1 are typically used in these tests. Small amounts are difficult for fraud detection systems to detect, and most consumers are unaware of them. The valid numbers are then used to conduct significantly larger transactions, resulting in losses for merchants and issuers.
BIN attack fraud is particularly dangerous because it involves no theft or data breaches—the victim's card number is chosen at random.
A PCI-compliant payment gateway is the first step in dealing with card testing and other types of e-commerce fraud. The system should contain AVS and CVV matching, as well as current fraud screening solutions. Protocols for preventing fraud, such as 3-D Secure, can also assist in avoiding card testing.
How Does PCI Compliance Protect Consumers and Merchants?
There are many reasons to minimize the risk of a data breach. Keeping this risk as low as possible is the primary goal of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard or PCI DSS. Ensuring that your payment platform and daily operations are PCI compliant is the first step in ensuring the safety of your customers – and your business.
What exactly is PCI compliance? While the PCI DSS is not a law, it is a sweeping mandate across the entirety of the credit card industry that works to keep consumers safe. Specifically, this mandate exists to safeguard consumer data. Given how much data changes hands every day during financial transactions, it only makes sense for a standard like this to be necessary.
In order to accept credit card payments of any type, you must demonstrate and maintain PCI compliance. This standard also applies to your business if it is involved with financial transactions in any way, such as through processing or other services.
A qualified security assessor or QSA will provide self-evaluation tools for your business to determine your level of PCI compliance. While 100% compliance is obviously the goal, less than 30% of businesses receive this 100% rate during the initial period of evaluation. These evaluations can help a company finetune its everyday operations and payment protocols to raise this compliance level.
PCI compliance protects consumers by ensuring that their data does not become part of a breach. This protection also boosts business by increasing consumer trust and satisfaction. Safer financial transactions and a higher consumer satisfaction rating make this standard a win-win for companies of all kinds.
Security Scans for PCI Compliance
One of the best ways to ensure PCI compliance is through a security scan by an Approved Scanning Vendor.
This involves scanning your business’s IP address and network to identify any unauthorized access to the network or security vulnerabilities that could allow for unlawful access to corporate or consumer data.
Business owners should also engage in regular physical inspections of their point-of-sale systems to look for any unusual changes or physical devices that could indicate data siphoning, duplication, or other suspicious activity.
All of this is done to ensure that the business and payment processors are not only PCI compliant, but operating in the most efficient way to serve their consumers.
How Can Merchants Increase Security for Consumers Beyond PCI Compliance?
PCI compliance is important, but it is not the only way that merchants can ensure their consumers’ safety and protect against data breaches. Partnering with a payment processing solution that is both focused on this compliance and on helping you achieve it is another great way to provide your customers with the best possible service.

According to the latest figures released by the ATO, Australia’s 1 895 775 property investors own 2.71 million rental investment properties around the country. Many landlords get it wrong when claiming tax deductions from the ATO simply because they are unaware of what expenses they can claim back from the ATO.
As a landlord, you can claim tax deductions for many of the expenses associated with your property. Some can be claimed immediately, while others are claimed over a number of years. For instance, if you have work done to your property, make sure to make note of whether the work is a repair or an improvement on your property. Repair costs are deductible in the year they occur, but the cost of improvements, ie. Capital costs, become part of the cost base. These figures are then used to calculate your capital gain or capital loss when you eventually sell your property.
Here is an indication of the type of expenses you are able to claim on your investment property:
- Council Rates
- Water Charges
- Interest on loan(s)
- Repairs and maintenance
- Property Agent fees/commission
- Plant depreciation
- Sundry rental expenses
- Capital works deduction
- Stationary, telephone and postage
- Body Corporate Fees
- Travel Expenses
- Land tax
- Gardening/ lawn mowing
- Cleaning Expenses
- Advertising for Tenants
- Pest Control
- Legal Fees
Whilst the list of possible expenses is extensive, the largest deduction for most people who have taken out a loan to fund an investment, is the mortgage – interest costs. These costs are tax deductible and should be no issue when claiming from the ATO as the interest costs are recorded on the lender’s statement upon repayments. The ATO states that the investor is able to claim 20 per cent of the borrowing expenses, which includes legal expenses and stamp duty, for the first five years after buying the property.
However, a common mistake made investors is to claim the interest costs for the whole 12 months when they have only leased the property fora portion of the year, as a holiday home for example. It is important to ensure that costs being deducted is proportioned to the time the property was rented or was available for rent.
In addition, some landlords also make the mistakes of claiming deductions for rental properties not available for rent or overstating deduction claims for the interest on investment loans which have a private proportion.
It is critical to be aware of what you as a landlord are able to claim, enabling you to receive the most from your tax reductions. Nevertheless, be sure to claim correctly as costly penalties are set in place by the ATO if your tax claims are incorrect. The ATO offers a comprehensive tax office guide, Rental Properties, which aim to help investors get their tax right. Find this publication at the ATO website. | law |

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

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

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

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

This report has been written taking account of the 0-25 SEND Code of Practice 2014, the Special Educational Needs and Disability Regulations 2014 and the Children and Families Act 2014.
Definition of Special Educational Needs
Children have special educational needs if they have a learning difficulty that calls for special educational provision to be made for them.
Children have learning difficulties if they:
• Have a significantly greater difficulty in learning than the majority of children of the same age
• Have a disability that prevents or hinders them from making use of educational facilities of a kind generally provided for children of the same age in schools within the LA
• Are under compulsory school age and fall within the definitions above or would do so if special educational provision was not made for them
Children are not regarded as having a learning difficulty solely because the language of their home is different from the language in which they will be taught.
Many children will have special educational needs of some kind at some time during their education. The majority of these will be overcome although a few children will need extra help for some or all of their time in school.
As a school we aim to fulfil the principles of the Code of Practice:
• All children with special educational needs should have their needs met
• The special educational needs of children will normally be met in mainstream schools
• The views of the child should be sought and taken into account where ever possible
• Parents have a vital role in supporting their child’s education and their views should be taken into account
• Children with special educational needs should have a broad, balanced and relevant education
The school’s policy details how this school will do its best to ensure that the necessary provision is made for any pupil who has special educational needs and that those needs are made known to all who are likely to teach them. We aim to identify children with special educational needs as early as possible. We aim to work closely with parents and recognise that partnership with parents can help to identify and recognise underlying causes for the child’s behaviour or needs. The named person responsible for the co-ordination of SEND provision is Mrs Nicola Clifford.
The Governor attached to SEN for the school is Mrs Cindy Davies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is smoking cannabis for medical purposes not permitted?
There are two major concerns regarding smoking medicinal cannabis.
- Firstly, smoking is a particularly harmful way of taking medicinal cannabis, mainly because it poses comparable risks for bronchitis and lung cancer, as is the smoking of cigarettes. Smoking medicinal cannabis is not permitted by local or international Health authorities.
- Secondly, approved medicines used in Barbados are produced under strict conditions to ensure efficacy and safety. It is important that medical doctors know that medicines have been tested and are standardized by dose and therapeutic response. This means doctors can monitor the effects of the drug and doses can be adjusted according to a patient’s needs.
It is understood that smoked cannabis will not be prescribed in Barbados because smoked plant products will not satisfy governmental requirements.
- How will medicinal cannabis be accessed by pharmacies and doctors for prescription to patients?
The Barbados Medicinal Cannabis Licensing Authority grants licenses to facilitate the cultivation, processing, transport and dispensing of medicinal cannabis to patients. The Medicinal Cannabis Industry Act, 2019 outlines that medicinal cannabis products can be prescribed by a medical practitioner. A Pharmacy with a retail distributor's license can dispense medicinal cannabis when presented by a patient with a prescription and a valid form of identification.
Currently, there are five legally-approved medicinal cannabis drugs, placed on the National Drug Formulary for specific indications, via approval from the Minister of Health and Wellness utilising Section 12 of the Drug Abuse (Control and Prevention) Act Cap 131.
Please speak to your doctor or pharmacist for more information on accessing medicinal cannabis.
What are the short-term effects of cannabis use or THC based products?
Everyone's response to cannabis differs and can vary from one time to the next.
Like any other drug, cannabis can:
- Impair your ability to drive safely or operate heavy equipment
- It can cause drowsiness, slow reaction times, lower your ability to pay attention and impair coordination
- Affect your mental capacity
- Impair your concentration, memory and decision-making, and can impact your ability to perform well on the job or at school.
- Cause euphoria (a high) it can also cause anxiety or panic.
- In rare cases, cannabis can trigger a psychotic episode (not knowing what is real, experiencing paranoia, having disorganized thoughts and, in some cases, hallucinating).
World Health Organization (WHO). The health and social effects of nonmedical cannabis use.
What are the long-term effects of cannabis use?
Using cannabis frequently (daily or almost daily) and over a long time (several months or years) can:
- Hurt your lungs and make it harder to breathe, if smoked
- Cannabis smoke may contain many of the same harmful chemicals found in tobacco smoke
- Affect your mental health
- Frequent use of THC based products over a long time increases the risk of cannabis dependence
- Increased risk of developing psychotic disorders
- Early exposure of cannabis use during the adolescent years can impair brain development and functioning
- Increased risk of cardiovascular disease

What are the effects of cannabis on pregnancy and breastfeeding?
Cannabis use is discouraged during pregnancy and during nursing. Substances in cannabis can transfer from the mother to child and can affect your unborn or newborn baby.
How will side effects be dealt with as they are noted by the medical community?
Like any other prescribed medication, the administration of prescribed medicinal cannabis will be under supervision and monitoring by your doctor so to minimise harm, or negative interact to a patient. Factors like medical history, allergies, pregnancy, breastfeeding, co-morbidities, other medications that a patient may be taking will all be taken into consideration along with regular checkups. | law |

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

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

There were 4,580 home-owner possessions, the lowest since 1980.
That year, there were 3,480 possessions, and 6.2m outstanding mortgages. At the end of last year, there were 9m outstanding mortgages.
In the final quarter of last year, 1,130 home owner mortgaged properties were taken into possession, down 3% on the same period in 2017.
Last year also ended with 77,610 home owner mortgages in arrears of 2.5% or more – 5% fewer than the previous year.
The number of buy-to-let mortgaged properties taken into possession in the last quarter of last year was 540, 14% down on the same period in 2017.
The number of buy-to-let mortgages where borrowers were in arrears of 2.5% or more in the last quarter of last year was 4,690 – unchanged from the previous year.
The figures, from trade body UK Finance, paint a slightly different picture to the latest statistics from the Ministry of Justice, also published yesterday, which show that potentially, the tide could be about to turn.
These show that mortgage possession claims increased by 30% between October and December last year in England and Wales.
Mortgage orders, warrants and repossessions by county court bailiffs were up by 29%, 30% and 5% respectively in the last quarter of last year, compared with the same period in 2017.
The average median time from claim to repossession rose to 55 weeks, compared with 42 weeks in the last quarter of 2017.
However, not all mortgage possession actions lead to actual repossessions and the Ministry of Justice does not disagree that there has been a fall in the number of mortgage possessions since 2008. | law |

A Chapter 13 insolvency involves paying back several of your debts to have the rest forgiven. It is necessary to recognize that while insolvency is a chance to begin again, it absolutely impacts your debt as well as future capacity to make use of loan. Bankruptcy is a legal procedure developed to stop collection phone calls and eliminate financial obligation completely.
The possibility of a borrower filing for personal bankruptcy will motivate some financial institutions to consent to lower the month-to-month payment, produce a long-term repayment strategy, or minimize the rate of interest or the debt. For something, you might not understand government or state insolvency laws or know which laws put on your case, particularly concerning what financial obligations can or can't be discharged.

Filing bankruptcy could allow you to obtain a fresh financial beginning. Most individuals that declare bankruptcy select either a Phase 7 or Chapter 13 instance. When you state insolvency, your co-signer still might be lawfully obliged to pay all or component of your financing. Still, as a result of the long-lasting results of insolvency, some professionals think it's most useful when you have greater than $15,000 in debts.

The new insolvency law calls for credit scores therapy prior to bankruptcy filings anyhow so it's worth it to highly consider credit therapy as a bankruptcy option. The American Bankruptcy Institute (ABI) did a research study of PACER stats (public court records) from 2016 and also discovered that 95.5% of the 499,909 Phase 7 bankruptcy cases chose that year were released, meaning the person was no longer lawfully required to pay the debt.
To learn more concerning personal bankruptcy and other debt-relief alternatives, seek advice from a regional credit scores therapist or read the Federal Profession Payment's educational pages. The individuals as well as organisation who apply for insolvency have even more debts than money to cover them as well as don't see that altering anytime quickly.
Throughout this moment, a personal bankruptcy discharge can stop you from obtaining new lines of credit and may even cause problems when you make an application for tasks. The majority of the people filing bankruptcy were not particularly rich. Our bankruptcy attorneys could aid you to discover non-bankruptcy alternatives in order to help you discover the financial obligation relief service that their website is best for you.

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

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

The U.S. based National Pork Producers Council says it will be urging the United States to comply with last week's World Trade Organization ruling that U.S. Country of Origin Labelling violates U.S. trade obligations.
Last week the World Trade Organization Appellate Body upheld a November 2011 Dispute Settlement Panel ruling that U.S. Mandatory Country of Origin Labelling discriminates against imported livestock and is inconsistent with U.S. trade obligations.
The U.S. now has 15 months to bring the labelling law into compliance with WTO rules or face possible retaliatory tariffs.
National Pork Producers Council vice-president and council for international affairs Nick Giordano says the United States is a strong supporter of the WTO and he's confident the United States will comply with the ruling.
Clip-Nick Giordano-National Pork Producers Council:
We want this to happen sooner rather than later because we don't want to get to a point where Ottawa and or Mexico City are discussing retaliation.
I don't think that's in anybody's best interest.
We're NAFTA trading partners and now both Canada and Mexico are taking the plunge along with the U.S. in the Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations so I don't think anybody wants a trade battle here.
I don't think other sectors in the United States want to be dragged into this and that's what happens if you reach the point where there's retaliation.
But again I believe the United States will come into conformity and certainly the National Pork Producers Council has been and will be urging the United States to do that and when we do that this trade irritant will go away.
Giordano acknowledges the U.S. has 12 to 15 months to bring its laws into compliance with the WTO ruling, the NPPC will be working hard to make sure that happens and he's confident that is going to happen.

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

One key thing to know is the importance of registering your mobility scooter. This is an essential step to ensure you’re using your scooter both safely and legally. Registering your scooter is a fairly simple process. It can be done by your authorised scooter provider or your State Transport Authority.
Here are some of our frequently asked questions about registering your mobility scooter.
Please note that the laws around registering your mobility scooter vary from state to state. The rules in this article apply to Queensland. Please check with your State Road and Transport Authority for more information.
What is mobility scooter registration?
In Queensland, registering your mobility scooter ensures you have free third-party insurance. When you register your scooter, you will receive a number plate, registration certificate and an information sheet explaining Queensland Road Rules for mobility scooters.
Do I need to register my mobility scooter?
This depends on what state you are living in. If you live in Queensland, you are required to register your mobility scooter if you plan to use it in public areas.
If you are moving to Queensland, you must register your mobility scooter within 14 days. You do not need to register your scooter if you are temporarily visiting Queensland.
How do I register my mobility scooter?
The first step is to get a letter from your doctor, occupational therapist or physical therapist stating that you would benefit from using a motorised wheelchair as a form of transport. From here, you will be able to buy your scooter and get it registered.
If you’re buying your motorised wheelchair from Hello Mobility Queensland, we can complete the registration for free. Alternatively, you can visit your nearest Department of Transport and Main Roads. For more information, visit the Queensland Government Website.

Do I need a driver licence to operate my mobility scooter?
No. You do not need a driver licence to drive a mobility scooter. Mobility scooter users are classified as pedestrians. This means they can drive on footpaths, shopping centres, and anywhere a pedestrian can go. As such, a mobility scooter licence is separate to a standard driver licence.

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

Why Choose Marks Injury Law After a Dog Bite?
Obtained a settlement of $200,000 for a client who was injured in two separate car accidents that occurred 7 weeks apart. The client sustained a herniated disc in her lumbar spine as a result of the accidents that required surgery. A lawsuit was filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County that alleged an indivisible injury since the accidents occurred in such close proximity to each other. At the close of discovery, the insurance carrier for each defendant agreed to pay its policy limit of $100,000 to resolve the claim.
Settled a claim for an 87 year old woman for $120,000 after she was struck by a taxi cab while crossing the street in front of the library in downtown Waukegan. She sustained significant sprains, strains and contusions as a result of the incident and was hospitalized for approximately five days. After being released from the hospital she spent three weeks in a rehabilitation facility followed by one month of home physical therapy. | law |

What Exactly Are Case Briefs?
In a nutshell, a case brief provides comprehensive analysis about a particular legal case that you have chosen to discuss. You lay out the facts of the case, the arguments presented by the parties, the court’s judgment, and an explanation for why you believe the case is important. What makes them a challenge is that they adhere to a very specific structure, require a great deal of case research, and require you to express your own opinion of the case based on sound reasoning.

Tips for Writing a Case Brief
Law students are often assigned case briefs and for good reason: the ability to analyze court cases and present them in an organized manner is the essence of law. Of course, this does not mean students enjoy writing them. They are tedious assignments that require a significant amount of research, a solid understanding of how law works, and the ability to understand technical concepts that are exclusive to the law. This means using appropriate word choices, structuring the paper in a very organized way, and explaining the facts of the case clearly. For most law students this is too much to handle.
To get started on your assignment, take a look at a legal case brief example or two. It would also be helpful to take a look at law school websites since they all contain templates that can provide good guidance. You will notice that case briefs are intended to be a short version of the case law, but at the same time must contain all of the pertinent information. You might need to gain some writing experience in order to best achieve this.
How to Structure Your Case Brief:
- Start with the introduction. In this part of the paper, you will make reference to the title of the case long with the parties involved.
- Case details. You will explain the circumstances and issues, facts of the case, and the decision that the court rendered.
- Discuss whether you believe the case was properly decided. Make sure to use sound logic and evidence as you either support the opinion or explain why it was flawed.
Final Tips on Writing a Case Brief
Nobody is born with the natural ability to write a case brief. Even bright law students need to familiarize themselves with the guidelines. Here are some suggestions that can help you write an effective paper:
- Gather all of the facts of the case and create an outline. Having the facts laid out will make it easier for you to put together the case brief. Make sure to catalogue everything so that you will be able to go back and quickly locate all of the information from case files.
- Create a comprehensive record of everything that has transpired in the court case to date. This includes all of the verdicts, the appeals, and whatever else that will provide a full picture of the case.
- Develop a list of questions regarding the main issues. In most cases, it is best to structure them as “yes or no” questions.
- Discuss the legal principles and rules that formed the basis of this case.
- Carefully explain the legal rationale behind the court’s decision. It should be done in narrative form and incorporate all of the parts of the case along with the reasoning. This is one of the most time-consuming elements of the case brief, but it is also the most important.
- While you might want to make reference to the concurring or dissenting opinion of the judges, do not focus too much on this as it is little more than a footnote. When the courts themselves identify other court cases as the basis for their decision, they never make note of any opinion other than the one rendered by the majority.
- Why did you choose this particular case? You will need to explain its importance when presenting it during class. For instance, was it a landmark decision? Is it an issue that is related to controversial legal questions that remain unresolved today?
- Make sure to think about any questions that your case presents so that when they are discussed in class, your classmates will be able to ponder them and provide their own insight.

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

Information about Brokerage Services
Before working with a real estate broker, you should know that the duties of a broker depend on whom the broker represents. If you are a prospective seller or landlord (owner) or a prospective buyer or tenant (buyer), you should know that the broker who lists the property for sale or lease is the owner's agent. A broker who acts as a sub agent represents the owner in cooperation with the listing broker. A broker who acts as a buyer's agent represents the buyer. A broker may act as an intermediary between the parties if the parties consent in writing. A broker can assist you in locating a property, preparing a contract or lease, or obtaining financing without representing you. A broker is obligated by law to treat you honestly.
If the Broker Represents the Owner
The broker becomes the owner's agent by entering into an agreement with the owner, usually through a written listing agreement, or by agreeing to act as a sub agent by accepting an offer of sub agency from the listing broker. A sub agent may work in a different real estate office. A listing broker or sub agent can assist the buyer but does not represent the buyer and must place the interests of the owner first. The buyer should not tell the owner's agent anything the buyer would not want the owner to know because an owner's agent must disclose to the owner any material information known to the agent.
If the Broker Represents the Buyer
The Broker becomes the buyer's agent by entering into an agreement to represent the buyer, usually through a written buyer representation agreement. A buyer's agent can assist the owner, but does not represent the owner and must place the interests of the buyer first. The owner should not tell a buyer's agent anything the owner would not want the buyer to know, because a buyer's agent must disclose to the buyer any material information known to the agent.
If the Broker Acts as an Intermediary
A broker may act as an intermediary between the parties if the broker complies with the Texas Real Estate License Act. The broker must obtain the written consent of each party to the transaction to act as an intermediary. The written consent must state who will pay the broker and, in conspicuous bold or underlined print, set forth the broker's obligations as an intermediary. The broker is required to treat each party honestly and fairly and to comply with The Texas Real Estate License Act. A broker who acts as an intermediary in a transaction:
- Shall treat all parties honestly
- May not disclose that the owner will accept a price less than the asking price unless authorized in writing to do so by the owner
- May not disclose that the buyer will pay a price greater than the price submitted in a written offer unless authorized in writing to do so by the buyer
- May not disclose any confidential information or any information that a party specifically instructs the broker in writing not to disclose unless authorized in writing to disclose the information or required to do so by The Texas Real Estate License Act or a court order or if the information materially relates to the condition of the property.

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

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

With this in mind, we are to peruse the contract, especially any conditions added to the contract, before you sign.
We will explain any contract conditions and clauses. This is to protect your interests. Remember that it is easier to negotiate any changes required before you sign, rather than after.
• If you have a mortgage currently registered on the Title you will be required to sign a Mortgage Discharge Authority which we will forward to your Mortgagee, who will begin the process of discharging your mortgage, provide us with a payout figure and meet with us on settlement day to provide the Certificate of Title.
• If there is no mortgage registered on the Title, you will need to provide the Certificate of Title to us prior to settlement. We will provide you with a receipt to confirm this important document is now in our possession.
• Liaise with all parties on your behalf to ensure settlement occurs on the agreed date, ie. Agent, discharging Mortgagee, Purchaser’s Conveyancer.
• Pay any outstanding rates to Council, ESL, SA Water, and Land Tax and Strata (if applicable) and calculate an adjustment of these rates so you receive a credited portion from the Purchaser.
• Apply to SA Water for a special meter reading, calculate your water use up to settlement day and pay the amount due to SA Water on your behalf.
• Advise SA Water, Council and Strata Corporation (if applicable) of the change in ownership. You are required to contact your telephone, electricity and gas providers prior to settlement to request a final meter reading (if applicable).
• Provide you with a statement detailing all costs, adjustments, amount required to discharge the mortgage and the final balance of funds due to you.
• On the day of settlement we will attend at the Adelaide Land Titles Office on your behalf, meeting with all relevant parties (discharging Mortgagee, Purchaser’s Conveyancer and the Purchaser’s incoming Mortgagee). Settlement will occur between 11am – 12am.
• Funds due to you will then be provided, as per your written instructions.
• We will contact you and the Agent to confirm settlement has been completed.
All of these above procedures are important. However, it is when a property transaction does not occur as planned that the true importance of our role as your Conveyancer becomes apparent. We will then negotiate on your behalf with all concerned parties to ensure your rights under the contract are upheld. | law |

Since December, the road has been open to traffic, in compliance with the restrictions of the prefectural decree of December 16, 2022.
The site owned by the Conservatoire du littoral de la Dune du Pilat (490 ha, i.e. 194 ha of dune area and 296 ha of forest, including 211 ha in user forest) was strongly impacted: only 26 ha of user forest, to the north of the Grand Site de la dune reception area did not suffer any damage.
Very quickly, the Conservatoire du littoral hired the necessary forestry expertise, the objective being to define the emergency work to be undertaken to ensure the safety of the public welcomed to the reception area of the Grand Site and the users authorized to circulate on the DR.
The progress of work to secure and fell the burned trees, carried out in this area, allowed a return to circulation of all vehicles since Saturday, December 17, 2022, in compliance with the restrictions described in the prefectural decree.
- The maximum authorized speed is lowered to 50 km/h or even 30 km/h on the less secure sections.
- The road may be closed from time to time due to necessities and weather conditions.
- The parking is prohibited all along the axis between the Dune roundabout and the southern limit of the Gironde department.
- The cycle path PC804 which runs along the RD 218 remains closed over its entire course. Cyclists will have to take the RD218 shared with vehicles.
- Access to the forest massif remains strictly prohibited, according to the provisions of the municipal decree of the municipality of La Teste-de-Buch of September 30, 2022.
- Access to runway 214 is prohibited according to the provisions of the prefectural decree of August 9, 2022.
- The only authorized access to the beach is the one that provides access to the Petit Nice car park. This car park can nevertheless be closed if the number of vehicles justifies it. Access to the beaches of La Teste-de-Buch is prohibited, from the access path to the beach, at the level of the Petit Nice car park to the sign showing the southern limit of the regulated swimming area on the beach of the North Salie. Consult the prefectural decree in force here.
- Compliance with these temporary restrictions is subject to reinforced controls.
The services of the State, the departmental road management council, the municipality of La Teste de Buch, are continuing their work to allow the restoration of normal traffic conditions on the RD 218 and the cycle path. For the time being, they call on road users to strictly respect the measures implemented for their safety and that of all those involved in the disaster area, in particular due to the maneuvers of heavy equipment for the evacuation of logs which chase and the debris they generate.

Posted 4 June, 2019
The new whistleblower laws offers benefits far greater than simply the protection of whistleblowers. Corporate cultures of silence, which nurture the turning of a blind eye to wrong doing, only weakens the organisation’s performance.
Strong governance on the other hand, which openly supports the reporting of wrongdoing, is evidence of governance aligned with high performance.
The most recent report of “Strength of organisational whistleblowing processes – Whistling While They Work 2 (Survey of Organisational Processes & Procedures 2016)”, reported in July 2017, stated
“Again, while many organisations reported have a strategy for protecting staff who raise wrongdoing concerns, 22.8% (especially 32.7% of private businesses and 33.9% of not-for-profits) reported having no specific strategy, program or process for delivering support and protection to staff.”
The challenge for boards and the leadership team includes how better to professionally managing the growing risks and cultural issues experienced by many organisations.
Without the embedded openness, then there will continue to be inadequate and fuzzy information flows to senior leaders and directors alike.
Every organisation, regardless of the law, should have proper internal processes for handling good or bad information. This to be at all levels of the organisation.
Remember, an effective information transparency, including a whistleblowing program, demonstrates your board’s authentic commitment to fostering a robust governance regime within the organisation. | law |

Since in this agreement you are sharing the risk, a recourse factoring fee is slightly lower.
The freight factoring company will provide credit checks on the shippers or brokers that you use to minimize the risk of working with debtors who fail to pay. With a recourse factoring agreement there is a portion of your funding held in a reserve account until your client pays the factoring company.
A recourse agreement is best for established trucking companies who have worked with their clients and know their pay terms. Also, it’s good for trucking businesses that don’t need back office assistance. However, billing can be included in the contract if needed. | law |

School Capacity 395
Current Enrollment 395
Available Seats 0
Florida Cyber Charter Academy@Pasco Admissions Process
Florida Cyber Charter Academy@Pasco admits any student, who is eligible to attend a public school in Florida, subject to school enrollment capacity limitations. Under Florida’s new controlled open enrollment law, students may enroll in FLCCA@Pasco even if the student does not reside in Pasco County. FLCCA@Pasco is committed to enrolling a diverse student population, as set forth by the provisions of the Florida Educational Equity Act, Section 1000.05(2)(a), and prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, national origin, gender, marital status, ethnicity, or disability. All interested students are encouraged to apply for enrollment.
Applications are accepted each year during the open enrollment window and throughout the school year to maintain capacity in the school. If the school receives more applications than the available spots, a lottery will be held. During the lottery process, all applicants who applied by the deadline will have equal opportunity in the drawing subject to any preferences required by Florida law or permitted by Florida law and adopted pursuant to this Admissions Process. After capacity is filled, a waiting list will be formed with the lottery process as well.
As provided for in Florida’s Charter School Legislation, the School will give enrollment priority to the following student populations if a spot is available:
- Students who reside in Pasco County
- Students who are the sibling of a student enrolled in the school,
- Students who are the children of an employee or founding governing board member of the charter school, and
- Other students who are required to be a preference pursuant to Florida law.
Students in these categories will be admitted automatically. If the applicants in the above priority groups exceed vacancies, a lottery will be held as well within the priority groups
Applications submitted for the prior school year will not be valid, roll over or be processed in the following school year lottery or waitlist. A new application must be submitted during the open enrollment window in order to be considered for a seat.
All applications received after the open enrollment window will be placed on the waiting list in the order in which they are received.
Parents will be notified in writing of their child’s acceptance no later than three weeks past the acceptance period deadline and will have a specific timeline to respond to the school in writing of their decision to attend. If an accepted applicant decides not to attend the school or informs the school of the decision on time, the open spot will be given to the next student on the waiting list.
Which grades can students apply to enter?
Florida Cyber Charter Academy (FLCCA)@Pasco offers grades Kindergarten through 12th grade. A lottery will be held if the number of applications received exceeds the number of seats available. Applications for the 2017-18 school year will continue to be accepted throughout the academic year.
Are there any seats for next school year?
Yes. However, if the number of applications received exceeds the number of seats available, a lottery will be held at the end of the open enrollment window.
Is proof of residence required to apply?
No, it is not required at the time of submitting an application. However, proof of residence is required to complete enrollment. If a seat is awarded, proof of residence and other remaining enrollment documents must be submitted by the specified deadline in the lottery notification announcement you will receive. To meet that eligibility requirement, you must prove residence in the state of Florida.
How does the lottery process work?
In accordance with the Florida Department of Public Instruction, applicants are admitted in the following order of preference:
- Once the open enrollment window has closed, FLCCA@Pasco will determine how many applications were received.
- If the number of applications received exceeds the number of seats available, a computer generated lottery will be conducted.
- A lottery will be conducted in-person at the FLCCA@Pasco Administrative Office, as well as online via Class Connect.
When will I be notified if my child gets a seat in the lottery?
We will email enrollment offer letters the day of the lottery. You will have 2 weeks from the date on the letter to return your confirmation of enrollment to hold your child’s seat. Failure to meet the deadline will forfeit your child’s seat and the next student on the waiting list will be offered a seat.
What is the orientation process for new students?
All new students and their parent-guardians must attend an in-person or online orientation session in the summer. Students will take a grade-level placement assessment, and families will learn about school policies.
What if my child does not get a seat in the lottery?
Your child will be placed on a waiting list until a seat becomes available or until enrollment closes for the current school year. Waitlisted applications for one school year do not carry over and will not be prioritized into the next school year’s lottery cycle. However, you are welcome to re-apply.
What if I register my child for a seat but later decide to attend another school?
We ask that you notify us promptly if your plans change, so that we can give the seat and as much notice as possible to the next student on the waiting list.
Whom should I contact if I have questions about the lottery or enrollment process?

The changes introduced in it are related in particular to the change of algorithms for calculating advances for income tax and health insurance contributions.
Polish Order in the Personnel module
New tax thresholds
From the new year, a new tax-free amount applies – PLN 30,000. In the Quatra Max system, the values of this tax relief have been changed: annually to PLN 5,100, and monthly to PLN 425. Moreover, the tax threshold was increased to the amount of PLN 120,000
The exemption for pensioners (allowance for senior citizens) and people with at least 4 children (allowance for 4+) was taken into account. For these people, the PIT tax up to PLN 85,528 of revenues is not charged.
A mechanism for calculating the tax relief for the citizens returning from emigracy was introduced. The tax relief is available for 4 consecutive tax years, counting from the end of the base year, which is – at the taxpayer’s choice – the year of transferring the tax residence to Poland or the following year. A deduction is made for 50% of the total amount of tax calculated according to the tax scale or 19% of the flat rate for entrepreneurs. In the first year, it will be subject to 50% of the tax calculated for the base year, in the second year – calculated for the first year of applying the relief, in the third and fourth years – calculated for the second and third years of applying the relief, respectively.
Algorithms for calculating the allowance for employees earning monthly in the range of PLN 5,701 – PLN 11,141 were introduced, as well as handling the application for not applying this allowance.
Algorithms were introduced that take into account the change in the calculation of the amount of the health insurance premium and the inability to reduce the tax advance by a part of the health insurance premium (7.75%).
An alternative method of calculating the advance payment for income tax was introduced in accordance with the Regulation of the Minister of Finance of 07/01/2022 on the extension of collection dates and the transfer of advance payments for personal income tax by certain payers.
We also watch over other changes
effective from 01/01/2022
The Quatra Max system includes:
Change in the amount of the minimum wage
Change in the amount of the annual reduction of the basis for the assessment of pension and disability pension contributions
Higher allowance for the period of stay in the hospital
New rules for determining the basis for the calculation of sickness benefit
Simpler rules for determining the benefit period
Changes in the code of the profession
We keep track of all regulations affecting the calculation of remuneration and we react as soon as the law requires it, and our consultants provide support and assistance at every stage of employee service in the System. | law |

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

(Feb. 26, 2015) — The Center for Women and Families (CWF) honored five Women of Distinction tonight at the center's 28th Annual Celebration of Service and Survival at Churchill Downs in Louisville. One of those outstanding women was Carol Jordan, executive director of the University of Kentucky Office for Policy Studies on Violence Against Women.
“The Center for Women and Families has been recognizing outstanding women in the community through the Women of Distinction Award since 1988,” said CWF’s CEO Marta Miranda. “An individual honored as a Woman of Distinction has given a lifetime of professional and/or volunteer services that has left an indelible mark on the Kentuckiana community.”
“Women of Distinction have made significant contributions to education, health care, civil rights, the arts, human services, the welfare of children and the advancement of women,” she said. To date, 152 women have received this honor.
For 30 years, Jordan has worked in research, writing, programming, public policy and legislative advocacy to address intimate partner violence, rape and stalking. She has served as the first director of a statewide sexual and domestic violence program in the Department for Mental Health, as founding executive director for the Governor’s Office of Child Abuse and Domestic Violence Services. At UK, she was the founding director of the Center for Research on Violence Against Women, a premiere academic research center, and is now founding director of the Office for Policy Studies on Violence against Women in the College of Arts and Sciences.
“When one receives an award of any kind, one is reminded of the influence and enduring support of colleagues and loved ones who helped make the success possible,” Jordan said. “I glance back over more than 30 years and feel that way today. That this award comes from the Commonwealth’s first and largest domestic violence and rape crisis program also amplifies its significance to me, so I am grateful on one hand, and inspired to continue this work on the other.”
A primary focus of Jordan’s career has been advancing legislative reform. She has co-authored 30 pieces of legislation including criminal and civil justice reforms related to domestic violence, rape, and stalking; bills to expand and strengthen services to victims; and legislation to advance victim’s rights. Many of her accomplishments have had a broad influence; however, it is the idea that those accomplishments have touched the lives of individual women that she finds most meaningful.
“It is our honor to celebrate these distinguished women. We are humbled by their contribution to our community and look forward to celebrating their accomplishments,” Miranda said.
This year’s honorees are Jordan, Pat Byron, president emeritus, Mary Byron Project; Dawne Gee, anchor for WAVE 3 News; Dorothy S. “Dot” Ridings, past president, Council on Foundations; and Audrey Tayse Haynes, Secretary of the Cabinet for Health and Family Services, Commonwealth of Kentucky.
The Center for Women and Families helps victims of intimate partner abuse or sexual violence to become survivors through supportive services, community education and cooperative partnerships that foster hope, promote self-sufficiency and rebuild lives. The center has been serving the community since 1912, when it began as part of the YWCA. Today, it is a private nonprofit organization serving nine Kentuckiana counties and operating seven regional locations, three of which provide emergency shelter, transitional housing and/or long-term housing options. The center maintains a $4.7 million budget and provided housing, advocacy, counseling, therapy and education to over 30,000 people last year.

Many “Sinologists” (China experts) commit a universal and unforgivable blunder. They erroneously use the term “Republic of China” as if it referred only to the offshore Chinese island of Taiwan, and the term “China” as if it referred only to the mainland portion of China.
Ordinary Americans can be forgiven for dismissing these distinctions as unworthy of their attention, but “China experts” should know better. These constitutional law distinctions lie at the very heart of the cross-straits conflict, and could spell the difference between continued peace and nuclear catastrophe.
These legal distinctions are not subject to “interpretation.” They are explicit provisions of the Republic of China Constitution. Taiwan independence leaders know this better than anyone else. They know it, and they hate it. They might try to deceive Americans about Taiwan’s current status. They might repeat the catechism, “Taiwan is already independent!” But in their heart of hearts they know that until and unless they author an new constitution and declare formal independence, Taiwan will remain an integral part of China.

However, it can prolong the process. If you’ve been separated for less than six months, your spouse can try to disprove your sworn statement that serious marital discord has adversely affected your attitude toward the marriage. He or she may also introduce the Montana Conciliation Law into the proceedings and ask the judge to help you reconcile your relationship. These types of objections can be scary and disheartening, but don’t be discouraged. If your marriage is truly over, your spouse’s objections won’t prevent you from getting divorced in the end.
If you expect your spouse to object to the divorce, seek the assistance of an attorney to help you navigate these types of tactics. | law |

Construction prime contractors executing federal construction contracts valued over $150,000 are required to comply with the Miller Act (48 CFR Subpart 28.1). The Miller Act requires surety bonds be posted by the contractor. Two types of surety bonds are often needed: payment bonds and performance bonds. A payment bond guarantees that the contractor will pay subcontractors and suppliers for work performed under the contact. A performance bond guarantees that the contractor will meet the contract terms and conditions. The payment and performance surety bond requirement for construction contracts are sometimes waived. According to the GAO, surety bond waivers can be made for certain "cost-reimbursement" construction contracts with the Department of Defense and Department of Transportation. A recent GAO study confirmed that surety bond waivers are rare. | law |

The best thing to do is to find an accident attorney who has specialized in many practices and rules. Researching well about the accident lawyer will help you to get someone who has the expertise since there are a lot of lawyers out there. When picking the perfect lawyer for your situation, the following guidelines will be of great help to you during the process.
Ensure to work with lawyers who have specialized and have the right experience in dealing with accident cases. The reasons for questioning the attorney is to ensure that their past cases and the outcomes of those cases. Interviewing the lawyer will be very vital as you will be able to understand how they feel about the case and the outcomes of many other cases they have handled before. By Doing thorough research about a lawyer will enable you to determine the type of lawyers who advertise themselves but shy away from the courts.
In most cases, insurance companies are very active in dealing with accident cases, and in case you have a lawyer who fears the courtroom the insurance company will take advantage of that and pay you a pittance. Get to know the opinions of the attorney about the case, the procedure for handling it and the outcomes they would like to see. It is important to work with an attorney from a renowned advocate firm as you are going to be sure of the service they offer.
Make sure to review all the paper works so as to be sure of what deal are you getting into, remember,this is important because once you sign the contract, it will mean that you have accepted their legal services. Ask all the question that you have in mind since the lawyer is there to provide you with all the necessary support and when they feel uncomfortable with your question then it means that it’s time you look for another lawyer. It is imperative to inquire about what they will charge for their service as many of the cases are not predictable and all the details of payment should be well discussed including any additional legal fees.
A successful attorney will have an office that is well designed and has all the resources to carry on your case, and this will give you reasons to wait for positive outcomes. You can also get recommendation from friends and family about the best lawyer who will always be there for you. You need to trust your instincts when employing an attorney who will be able to put a fight for you to be compensated. | law |

Keywords:universal design, disability policy, disability law, minority group approach, welfare
AbstractThe worldwide disarray of disability social policy and law requires a new foundation to make it coherent and to remedy persistent contradictions, disincentives and other policy anomalies. In this paper we clarify and expand Irving Zola’s call for ‘universalized disability policy’ and develop his insight by drawing upon the well-known principles of Universal Design (UD), or Design for All, in architecture, product development and city planning to formulate analogous principles of universally designed disability social policy and law. Our objective is to show, by means of two examples - one in health care delivery and the other in welfare or social support policy - that ‘universalized’ policy for and on behalf of persons with disabilities is feasible. We find that there are some, albeit limited, examples of universalizing policy in these areas and suggests ways in which the full range of UD principles might be able to be implemented in these two policy areas. What we propose is merely a proof of concept rather than a complete proposal to restructure disability law and policy - which likely not be feasible, given the range of social and economic conditions of countries around the globe. We conclude with some tentative suggestions for areas of empirical research that would further the overall agenda of a universal disability social policy.

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 2, 2018, Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. (the “Company”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Sale Agreement”), as seller, with ContiTech USA, Inc, as acquiror (“ContiTech”) (together the “Parties, each a “Party”). Pursuant to the Sale Agreement and the terms and conditions thereof, the Company agreed to sell and ContiTech agreed to acquire substantially all assets relating to the Company’s anti-vibration system business in which the Company engages directly or indirectly through certain of its subsidiaries in North America, China and Poland. The transaction includes a binding offer from ContiTech to purchase substantially all assets relating to the Company's anti-vibration system business in France, including the Company's 50% equity interest in Sujan Cooper Standard AVS Limited (collectively, the "AVS Business"). On the basis of such offer, the Parties have entered into exclusive discussions regarding the sale of French anti-vibration system business and equity interest in Sujan Cooper Standard joint venture once works council consultations in France have taken place. Further, the Company agreed to assign and ContiTech agreed to assume certain liabilities of the Company associated with the AVS Business (collectively, the “Transaction”).
The proposed purchase price to be paid to the Company in connection with the Transaction will consist of $265.5 million in cash (the “Base Amount”), which will be adjusted to reflect the indebtedness and working capital deficiency or surplus of the AVS Business at the time of closing. The amount (if any) of applicable transaction expenses will also be deducted from the Base Amount. The net effect of these adjustments could significantly decrease the cash proceeds to the Company.
The Sale Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnification provisions. The closing is subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of applicable antitrust approvals. The Sale Agreement may be terminated by mutual consent of both Parties or by either Party in the following circumstances: material breach by the other Party; failure to complete the closing of the Transaction on or prior to June 30, 2019; failure to satisfy certain closing conditions; or action by a governmental authority that would prevent or prohibit the Transaction. At closing, the Parties are expected to enter into certain ancillary agreements, including transition services agreements, manufacturing services agreements, and supply agreements to support the transition services, supply of materials and production of parts between the Parties in connection with the separation of AVS Business from the Company to ContiTech.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.

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

The classic way for companies to violate the antitrust laws is to get together and agree to all do something the same way.

Under the a Living Will, a customer states that if he or she is accredited to have an incurable, terminal injury/illness and/or to be permanently unconscious by 2 taking a look at physicians ( consisting of the client's going to doctor), that synthetic life-support systems be kept or detached. The client may also choose to discontinue synthetic nutrition and hydration (intravenous feeding) by so designating on the type. (Find more details at: legalhelper.net/living-will.aspx).

2. To direct disconnection of artificial life-support systems in case of permanent coma; and.
3. To direct discontinuation of artificial nutrition and hydration.
In addition, the Health Care Power of Attorney form provides a space for the client to set forth any specific medical, religious or other desires concerning his/her health care. The client may also use this section as a backup source for organ contribution. (Find more details at: legalhelper.net/power-of-attorney.aspx).
Both documents are signed in front of two witnesses and a notary public or a justice of the peace who acknowledges the customer's signature. The witnesses to a Living Will are sworn by the notary public/justice of the peace and show that the customer is at least 18 years of age and signed the instrument as a voluntary and complimentary act.
The Living Will witnesses might not be the client's spouse, going to physician, heirs-at-law or individual with claims versus the client's estate.
The Health Care Power of Attorney witnesses might not be the designated agent, the client, successor or spouse or person entitled to any part of the customer's estate upon death under Will, Trust or operation of law.
The Living Will is handy as a backup file: In the event that the client goes into an permanent coma and the health care representatives designated in the Health Care Power of Attorney are departed or unloadable , the Living Will sets forth the desires of the client concerning his/her death-bed treatment which may be followed by going to physicians. Copies of both the Durable Power of Attorney Web Site for Health Care and the Living Will are forwarded to the client's main care physician for inclusion in medical More hints records.

The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has submitted their opinion to South Korea about the decision that was announced on 12th August for ending the preferential trade status of Japan.
If South Korea continues with their plans of removing Japan from their list of the top-tier trade partners without responding to the questions on their rationales and details, this revision shall be assumed as arbitrary and also illegitimate countermeasures to Japan, said the ministry in a statement.
In addition to further restrictive conditions on the application for comprehensive licenses for the export of strategic goods to Japan, the exportation approval process shall also be extending to between five and fifteen days.
Seoul’s decision has come after Japan’s decision of removing South Korea from their white list of preferred trade partners who enjoy minimum trade restrictions on the goods like electronic components which can be diverted for the use of military.
Japan has already implemented tighter controls in July on exports of some of the materials that are needed by the South Korean manufacturers of semiconductors as well as display panels, including the Samsung Electronics Corporation and SK Hynix Inc. | law |

Mark Beetham passed away at Trinity Hospital West in Steubenville, Ohio, with his beloved wife, Vickie, at his side. The cause of death was a breakthrough case of COVID-19. Mark was born on May 19, 1951 in Columbus, Ohio. He graduated from Cadiz High School in 1969 and from The Ohio State University with a B.S., cum laude in 1972. He then received his Juris Doctorate from Yale Law School in 1975. After law school, he returned to Cadiz, Ohio to practice law with his father Thomas D. Beetham.
Mark began his law career with his father, until his passing in 1998. During his law career, Mark served as assistant prosecuting attorney for Harrison County from 1975-1981; Solicitor of the Village of Jewett, Ohio from 1985-1987; Solicitor of the Village of New Athens, Ohio from 1985-1988; Solicitor of the Village of Freeport 1985-1992; Solicitor of the Village of Cadiz from 1985-1982; County Court Judge of Harrison County, Ohio appointed by Governor George Voinovich in 1992 and by Governor Robert Taft in 2003. He was elected in 2004 and reelected in 2006, 2012, and 2018. Mark was the longest serving County Court Judge in the history of Harrison County.
Being a lawyer and a judge was his highest calling. One of his greatest joys and delight was interacting with his staff and the countless attorneys appearing before him or across the aisle in private practice. He remembered all of them, and had so many stories.
Mark was most proud of his wife Vickie Kay (Michelli) Beetham, his children Gwendolyn Anne Beetham, Thomas Owen Beetham, and Morgan de Beetham, and his grandchildren, Phoebe Olivia Beetham, Adeline Depew Beetham, and Carter Anna Beetham.
Mark is survived by the love of his life and wife Vickie.

Friends may call Thursday, October 14, 2021 from 12-3 p.m. at Clark-Kirkland-Barr Funeral Home, 172 S. Main St., Cadiz, Ohio. Due to the circumstances of Mark’s death, the family requests that all in attendance be vaccinated and masked. A private committal of ashes will be held at the convenience of the family.

Health and Safety Compliance Audits and Reviews
Sometimes it's knowing where to start?
Could a health and safety compliance audit benefit your business? With health and safety regulations and industry ‘best practice’ developing all the time it’s important to know what you need to do to keep your employees safe and keep on the right side of the law.
Our health and safety management audits will look comprehensively at how you are measuring up as a business against the regulations and requirements applicable to your business.
How will your health and safety audit be conducted?
Health and safety audits serve not only to protect the people on your premises, but also to protect your business.

Help to safeguard your business as a whole with a health and safety compliance audit from Direct Safety Solutions:
- One of our health and safety consultants will visit your site from our base in the West Midlands to assess your current arrangements.
- Following the on-site audit we will prepare a detailed audit report and action plan that is easy to follow and interpret. This will include assessing your current compliance levels against the requirements of health and safety law.
- The detailed report will be delivered back to you by your allocated consultant, detailing your current arrangements along with actions you need to take to ensure you are meeting statutory requirements. (Actions will be graded so you know exactly where to focus your attention.)
- All reports are complemented with photographs to highlight any physical improvements required at your workplace or site. | law |

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

MARIETTA, Ga. (CBS46) A SWAT team was called to an apartment complex in Cobb County Thursday morning as they searched for a man wanted for aggravated battery.
According to Marietta Police, officers were called to the complex on the 2100 block of Windy Hill Road near Cobb Parkway at around 5:30 a.m.
They were tracking 27 year-old Maliek Dandridge, who had an outstanding warrant for aggravated battery.
Once on scene, officers learned that Dandridge had crawled into an attic space above an apartment. It was unclear if he was armed.
Dandridge then broke through the ceiling of another apartment and also crashed through an interior wall inside as he tried to get away.
Officers with the SWAT team were able to take Dandridge into custody at around 7:45 a.m.
No injuries were sustained. | law |

The fact is that there are significant differences between the way the US and Australia regulate these products.
In Australia, complementary medicines are regulated by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). This is considered one of the most rigorous systems for regulating supplements in the world, and companies marketing complementary medicines must comply with a range of TGA requirements.
Features of the Australian regulation of complementary medicines include:
- Complementary medicines (e.g. fish oil, vitamins and mineral supplements) are regulated as medicines in Australia and must be manufactured to medicinal standards in TGA approved sites
- The TGA conducts a safety assessment on ingredients in Listed (displaying an AUST L number) complementary medicines
- Complementary medicines must contain the ingredients listed on the label and no other active ingredients, and they must only be produced from ingredients approved as low-risk by the TGA
- The TGA routinely conducts manufacturing site inspections, sampling and testing of products in the market to monitor compliance
- Companies marketing complementary medicines can only make limited claims regarding their effectiveness and are required to hold evidence supporting those claims
- All complementary medicines legally available for sale in Australia must be included on the TGA's publicly accessible database, the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG)
- The TGA maintains a rigorous system for recording, monitoring and responding to adverse events for all medicines, including complementary medicines.
- The features of the Australian regulatory environment are very different to those in the US that were featured in the Four Corners program, and they should give Australian consumers a high level of confidence in the safety and efficacy of their medicines.
The Four Corners program also raised issues in relation to omega-3 fish oil supplements.
The majority of Australian do not eat enough fish, and omega-3 supplements play an important role in helping people to consume adequate marine-sourced omega-3s.
Companies that market fish oil products in Australia must comply with TGA requirements including strict manufacturing standards that maximise the purity of these products.
Australian consumers can be confident that fish oil products available in Australia are of the highest quality as they are required to comply with medicinal manufacturing standards.
As with all medicines, fish oil products must be labelled with an expiry date, and products are required to comply with content standards for the duration of their shelf life.

Prescribed herbal and nutritional medicines
We consider the safety of our patients the highest priority. We only prescribe medicines from reputable sources, and only in very limited situations do we recommend medicines produced overseas.
The majority of the herbal and nutritional medicines we prescribe are known as practitioner-only medicines. They are not available directly to the public and need to be prescribed by a qualified health practitioner. These products are often of a higher quality and strength compared to retail products.
As health professionals, we prescribe these medicines in a much more targeted and focused way. We check against potential drug interactions with any pharmaceutical medicine a patient may be taking and we monitor and adjust the combinations and dosages carefully.
We constantly review the prescription ensuring a patient is taking the appropriate medicines and only for as long as necessary.
You are in safe hands when using practitioner-prescribed herbal and nutritional medicines. | law |

You might have even seen. But in case you haven’t: A lengthy list of Hollywood A-Listers’ nude photos were recently leaked on the Web, including stars like Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton and more. While the legitimacy of many of the leaked photos is still being debated, representatives for J. Law and Kate, as well as actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead, have come forward to confirm—and condemn—the leaked photos.
After the leaked photos surfaced on Internet forum 4chan on Sunday evening, I’ve read plenty of opinions: People defending the victims. People calling the photo leak a violation, a sex crime and even an abomination. People vowing not to look. People sharing, posting and retweeting the photos like there’s no tomorrow. There have also been a great deal of people, like British comedian Ricky Gervais, blaming the victims themselves for what happened:
All due respect to Mr. Gervais, but… no. That’s not quite right. Actually, I think it’s slightly absurd. And here’s why:
We use our smartphones for so many things. When someone’s identity gets stolen online, we don’t blame that person for using online banking, do we?
If a home gets broken into, do we blame the homeowner for not being there when it happened?
With that in mind, how could it possibly be a woman’s fault when her personal data account, one that may or may not include nude photos, is hacked?
The belief that, “If you don’t want nude photos leaked online, don’t take them in the first place!” is something I just can’t comprehend. Everyone on this earth, from an Oscar-winning starlet to the man in line in front of you at Starbucks, has a right to privacy.
When you think about it, the right to privacy means you have the right to do… well, a lot of things (even stupid things!), as long as you don’t break the law. Sing the entirety of Taylor Swift’s Red album in the shower. Take ugly selfies. Pose naked in a bathroom mirror with your Cy Young-winning boyfriend. And yes, thanks to the Internet, you have the right to share those things you do with the world, if you’re so inclined. But others do not (or should not) have the right to share them for you.
Privacy is a basic human right that should never be compromised due to the ridiculous speed in which technology in the Digital Age is evolving.
The personal accounts of these women were hacked, though exactly what happened is still under investigation. Their privacy—and their bodies—were violated. Things that they decided were theirs to keep were stolen (yes, stolen) without their consent and misused in a deceitful and disgusting manner by being anonymously posted on the Internet by a disrespectful, creepy, coward of a person.
So, what can we do? Let’s start by stopping the victim blame game. And let’s also stop sharing/retweeting/ogling those leaked photos while we’re at it, shall we? You want to see jaw-dropping pictures of Kate Upton? Check out Sports Illustrated. Or, try Googling “J. Law at the Oscars” and feast your eyes on her stunning gowns and adorkable clumsiness instead.
But most importantly, moving forward, never forget this: What’s mine is yours? Sometimes. But what’s mine is mine alone if I want it to be. Period.
A final note: The above tweet from Ricky Gervais was deleted shortly after he posted it, but not before hundreds of Twitter users retweeted and screen-grabbed it. He’s since defended the tweet as a “joke.” I’m not sure everyone’s laughing.

Creative Energy sends out a bill at the end of each month. Customer meters are read as close to the last business day in each month as possible, and the present meter reading is subtracted from the previous reading to arrive at the monthly consumption. The monthly consumption is then applied to the Tariff and Fuel Adjustment on the bill.
Creative Energy is a regulated Utility under the jurisdiction of the British Columbia Utilities Commission (BCUC). As a regulated Utility the Tariff only changes when an Application to change the Tariff has been approved by the BCUC. The Tariff charges cover labour, property taxes, operating costs and profit for Creative Energy. The Tariff is structured to be applicable to a wide range of customers. Each month the Customer metered consumption is applied to the Tariff to arrive at the Tariff charge. The Tariff charge is based per thousand pounds of steam. The Tariff charges do not include the costs related to Fuel.
3. Fuel Adjustment
The Fuel Adjustment is a pass through charge to the customer to cover the cost of fuel, transportation charges for the fuel and any taxes related to the purchase of the fuel that are not included in the Tariff. There is no mark-up or profit in the Fuel Adjustment. Unlike the Tariff the Fuel Adjustment will fluctuate with the changes in the cost of energy, transportation and taxes. Each month the Customer consumption is applied to the Fuel Adjustment to arrive at the Fuel Adjustment charges on the bill. As of January 2017 the Fuel Adjustment is $10.85 per thousand pounds of Steam.

Since the UK is no longer a member of the EU, medical device manufacturers must now follow the UK’s medical device regulation in order to place medical devices on the UK market. One of the requirements is to appoint a UK Responsible Person, who is physically located within the UK.
The UK Responsible Person’s responsibilities are to act on behalf of the manufacturer to ensure all their responsibilities detailed within the amended UK MDR 2002 regulations are met. These include amongst other tasks to register devices prior to being placed on the UK market.
As a team of dedicated medical device regulatory professionals, i-CELLBIO Ltd can offer a UK Responsible Person Service from their registered offices in the UK.

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