QuickBooks Payments enables businesses to accept credit card payments within QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise. But is Intuit's integration the best option?
In a word: no. EBizCharge offers features and benefits to businesses that are far and above QuickBooks Payments—including efficient reporting tools, around-the-clock support, enhanced security, and cost savings.
EBizCharge integrates directly into QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise and automatically posts payments to invoices, saving time and increasing efficiency. Businesses can accept credit card payments directly within QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise without having to leave the native environment of the software. EBizCharge eliminates double data entry and ensures that businesses spend their time on more pressing matters.
Unlike QuickBooks Payments, EBizCharge utilizes both encryption and tokenization in order to safely store customer credit card information. In the event of a data breach, encryption alone may not be enough to protect sensitive card information, and businesses may be liable for thousands of dollars in damages. But with tokenization, businesses can rest assured that their customers' data is safe.
Tokenization is a data security method that replaces vulnerable credit card information with a string of valueless numbers and letters called a token. These tokens are stored on the business' local system while the sensitive card information is stored on our cloud, so the business never stores the card information and is not liable if their servers are hacked.

Hollie Doyle hits century mark at Wolverhampton
Irish Field Contributor
Hollie Doyle became the first rider to partner 100 winners this year when she triumphed aboard Society Lion at Wolverhampton.
Doyle, who enjoyed a first Classic success with Nashwa in the French Oaks last month, teamed up with Ed Dunlop's charge to land the Cazoo Handicap by just under three lengths on Monday evening.
The rider chalked up a personal best 172 winners in 2021, improving on her 151 the previous year, and was pleased to hit the century mark again.
Speaking to Sky Sports Racing, Doyle said: "It's good to have got that done. When you do it once you want to do it every year so it's great. It's been a good few weeks so hopefully it can continue.
"It's always nice to try to better the year before, but I understand at some point it's going to be hard to do that, but I'll give it a go.
"I've had some prestigious winners this year and been getting plenty of opportunities, so that's what you want."
Doyle is joint-second in the Flat jockeys' championship on 44 winners along with husband Tom Marquand, with William Buick leading the way on 69 winners.

Video: Julie Weise on the History of Mexicans in the U.S. South
Author Connie Chia
When Latino migration to the U.S. South became increasingly visible in the 1990s, observers and advocates grasped for ways to analyze "new" racial dramas in the absence of historical reference points. However, as this book is the first to comprehensively document, Mexicans and Mexican Americans have a long history of migration to the U.S. South. Corazón de Dixie: Mexicanos in the U.S. South since 1910 recounts the untold histories of Mexicanos' migrations to New Orleans, Mississippi, Arkansas, Georgia, and North Carolina as far back as 1910. It follows Mexicanos into the heart of Dixie, where they navigated the Jim Crow system, cultivated community in the cotton fields, purposefully appealed for help to the Mexican government, shaped the southern conservative imagination in the wake of the civil rights movement, and embraced their own version of suburban living at the turn of the twenty-first century.
Rooted in U.S. and Mexican archival research, oral history interviews, and family photographs, Corazón de Dixie unearths not just the facts of Mexicanos' long-standing presence in the U.S. South but also their own expectations, strategies, and dreams.
This video was produced by the Oregon Humanities Center at the University of Oregon.
Julie M. Weise is assistant professor of history at the University of Oregon. Her book, Corazón de Dixie: Mexicanos in the U.S. South since 1910, is now available. Follow her on Twitter @JulieWeise.

US lawmaker says the US will resist any attempt from China to take over Taiwan
The newly re-elected president of Taiwan has delivered a blow to Communist China, said one senior U.S. lawmaker. However, China's determination to take control of Taiwan should not be underestimated, despite her landslide victory.
Rep. Ted Yoho (R-Fla.) speaking at the Heritage Foundation on Monday, Jan. 13, said, about China's intention to take over Taiwan, "Is that really going to play to their benefit long term?"
"Or is that going to cause—not just a regional conflict—do you think other Western democracies are going to sit still and watch a democracy in that part of the region that's not causing anybody any problems … are we all going to sit and watch that be taken away?"
Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen's victory on Jan. 11 came after Beijing had attempted to thwart her election with disinformation, utilizing its cyber army. The United States and the United Kingdom combined in their efforts to prevent interference from Beijing, "It was a great example of the American government being joined up in a way that I haven't witnessed before," a European diplomat told the Washington Examiner recently.
"We are particularly pleased to see that our bilateral cooperation with the U.S. to counter disinformation and cyberattacks has been enhanced along the years," a spokeswoman at the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office, Taiwan's de facto embassy in the United States, told the Washington Examiner.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo saw the new president's win as a step forward. Although the United States doesn't have formal ties with Taiwan, it nevertheless regards Taiwan as an ally.
"Under her leadership, we hope Taiwan will continue to serve as a shining example for countries that strive for democracy, prosperity, and a better path for their people," Pompeo said on Saturday.
Several months ago, Pompeo's team authorized the sale of military equipment valued at $2.2 billion to Taiwan.
Beijing wasn't happy with the sale, "We urge the U.S. to stay committed to the one-China principle and the three joint communiqués, cancel this arms sale immediately, and stop military ties with Taiwan to prevent further damage to China-U.S. relations and peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait," said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang in July, reports the Washington Examiner.
"Taiwan has once again provided a stellar example of democracy in action," Jonathan Fritz, who leads the State Department's China desk, said at the election watch party on Saturday. "We look forward to continuing to work with the Tsai administration and with the leadership of all Taiwan's parties, to advance our common interests and further strengthen the unofficial relations between the United States and people on Taiwan."
Chinese leader Xi Jinping regards power over Taiwan as a necessary step for the mainland.
"The Chinese government's position won't change: we stick to the one-China principle and oppose 'Taiwan independence,' 'two Chinas' and 'one China, one Taiwan,'" the Chinese Foreign Ministry said post-election.
"We hope and believe that the international community will continue to adhere to the one-China principle, and understand and support the Chinese people's just cause of opposing 'Taiwan independence' separatist activities and striving to achieve national reunification."

Living and Working alongside Robot Buddies
A new wave of robots – designed to work alongside us instead of being cooped up in factories – is here to revolutionise the way we live and work.
At the Villa Francis Home for the Aged in Yishun, a furry visitor has captured the hearts of residents. Often seen cuddled in the arms of one of the seniors, the stuffed monkey laughs when it is caressed and whines when it is hit. A video made by the Home shows another resident hugging it tightly and patting its head, even giving it a kiss.
Clearly this is no ordinary soft toy. Meet the HuGGler, a robot that reacts to human touch as a pet would. Created by the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) for the elderly, the HuGGler has helped to improve their emotional and mental well-being, to "become more open, and [by] facilitat[ing] social interaction between [them]", said Dr Tan Yeow Kee, one of the scientists behind the robot.
The HuGGler could also potentially help to detect Alzheimer's disease, said Dr Tan, as it is able to record the emotional state of the person interacting with it. This allows medical staff to track and analyse the elderly's mental well-being over time.
It doesn't look anything like R2-D2 of Star Wars fame or Wall-E, the rubbish- compacting robot. But this stuffed monkey is part of a new wave of robots that are easing their way into our workplaces and homes to buddy up with us.
What are robots?
Robots are typically defined as machines that can perform complex series of actions automatically. On top of that, most modern robots can understand and react to their environment. Some can even try different ways of completing their tasks – a quality made possible by the rise of cognitive computing, which is modelled after the way a human brain learns.
For example, autonomous home vacuum cleaners, fitted with sensors to detect dirt, can navigate around obstacles like furniture, without needing to "know" the home layout first. Some can even adapt their cleaning to the level of grime present; they will move over a particularly dirty spot multiple times, just like you would clean a stubborn stain by rubbing it repetitively.
That's a big advance from earlier generations of robots. Then mostly confined to factories, those were programmed to focus on performing specific tasks on the assembly line with speed and accuracy. Anyone standing in their way would risk being hit with the machines' full force.
Nowadays, as they move out of factories into our offices and homes, robots are designed to be accessible, collaborative, even sociable. (See "The Evolution of Robots" timeline.)
Baxter, a two-armed industrial robot covered in soft material, is already working alongside humans in small manufacturing firms in the United States. It does the smaller-scale but repetitive work that does not warrant a full-scale industrial robot, which tends to cost four times more and is relatively complex to operate.
Instead of programming instructions into Baxter, any factory worker can teach it to perform a variety of repetitive tasks simply by grabbing and guiding its arms. This means that Baxter has the versatility to be moved around, helping workers with different jobs such as picking, sorting or packing objects.
Baxter's inventors even gave it "eyes" so it can communicate with its human co-workers – conveying emotions such as confusion, when it has trouble with a task, or surprise, when it senses a human in its way.
With significant progress in robotics sparked by technological advancements – improvements in silicon chips, sensors and computation – and greater investments, robots like Baxter could become commonplace in our lives.
The evolution of robots
From bulky, dangerous industrial machines to friendly, cuddly soft toys, robots have taken myriad forms, emerging from behind the scenes to enter our daily lives.
1921 - Czech playwright Karel Capek coins the term "robot" – derived from "robota", the Czech word for forced labour – in his science fiction play "R.U.R." (Rossum's Universal Robots).
1961 - The first industrial robot, Unimate, starts work on the General Motors assembly line to sequence and stack hot metal pieces with its large 1,800kg arm. Transforming the assembly line, it becomes one of the most widely used industrial robots globally.
1977 - Two of the world's most popular fictional robots, R2-D2 and C-3PO, are introduced in George Lucas' movie, Star Wars: A New Hope.
1981 - SCARA (Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm) is introduced in Japan to speed up assembly lines. The Japanese flexible assembly system, based on SCARA, leads to a worldwide boom in small electronics production, and inexpensive electronics.
1997 - NASA's Sojourner becomes the first robot to explore another planet's surface when it lands on Mars. The rover beams images and data about Mars back to Earth.
1999 - Sony's robotic dog AIBO enters the market. AIBO could recognise its owner's face and voice, respond to commands and find its charging station, making it one of the most sophisticated consumer robots at that time.
2000 - Honda introduces ASIMO (Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility), a humanoid robot that can walk or run on uneven surfaces and climb stairs like we do.
2001 - PackBots search for survivors in the fallen World Trade Center in New York City after the September 11 attacks. Since then, they have performed dangerous tasks such as bomb disposal, and were first responders in the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster.
2002 - The robotic vacuum cleaner Roomba is released, and goes on to be a dear helper in millions of homes globally.
2004 - Shaped like a fluffy baby seal, Paro is pushed out in Japan as an alternative to pet therapy, comforting and accompanying seniors in nursing homes worldwide.
2004 - The US military starts using drones for surveillance and attacks in the Middle East.
2012 - With sensors and other features making it aware of its environment, Baxter is an early example of collaborative robots created to work alongside humans.
2012 - The robotic horse Legged Squad Support System (LS3) starts training with US troops, moving autonomously through rugged terrain and carrying up to four times a soldier's load.
2014 - Google announces a prototype of their driverless car with no steering wheel or brake pedals.
2014 - Japanese researchers unveil life-like android newscasters.
2015 - Pepper, a chatty personal robot that can react to your emotions and even crack jokes, will go on sale in Japan for less than S$2,500.
Bots to boost productivity
An automated drug dispensing system now picks and packs medicines at the Singapore General Hospital's Outpatient Pharmacy, with pharmacists checking the prescriptions before they go out. This has shortened the wait for patients: now more than 80% of patients can get their medicines within 30 minutes, from about 70% previously, according to reports from the Ministry of Health. The number of wrong prescriptions has dropped too.
Also, the 11 staff who used to search for, pack and label medicines now serve patients at the front counters. This shows the potential for humans to take on higher-value jobs such as customer service, while robots handle the mundane tasks.
Meanwhile, for labour-intensive industries, the use of robots could address manpower shortages.
For instance, autonomous cleaning machines being test-bedded at Changi Airport can sweep, vacuum or scrub large areas without human guidance. Using sonar to detect and avoid obstacles, these robots work thrice as fast as humans – without needing breaks.
Robots could also reduce our reliance on foreign labour in the construction sector. Developed in Singapore by the Future Cities Laboratory, an automated tile-laying robot was highlighted in a May 2014 blog post by National Development Minister Khaw Boon Wan.
Two skilled tilers can be four times more efficient when assisted by four such robots, explained Mr Khaw. While the robots could reduce manual labour by up to 75%, Mr Khaw stressed that there will still be higher-value work for people, such as refilling the robots with tiles or cutting oddsized tiles to fit corners.
And as robot technology advances, different groups of people can take on work that is now less physically taxing. Older workers could remain employed for longer, while women and the disabled may be able to enter industries that have traditionally been unwelcoming.
Robots that care
As seen in the case of the HuGGler, there is a market for robots when it comes to the needs of Singapore's greying population. According to the Agency for Integrated Care (AIC), the use of robotics in eldercare has increased over the past five years. Such robotic technology is being used mostly by hospitals to reduce strain on therapists and improve the outcomes of rehabilitation. Therapy robots are also gradually being adopted in eldercare centres or nursing homes.
At Tan Tock Seng Hospital, elderly patients do physical exercises with robotic arm or leg braces. This customised therapy complements conventional physical therapy to help them recover from strokes, spinal cord injury or other conditions that affect their mobility.
These sessions usually include motion-based virtual reality games to motivate the elderly. A patient using the robotic arm Armeo would attempt to move his impaired arm, supported by a robotic casing, to play games that involve catching water droplets or picking up fruits on a digital screen.
"This therapy is not so boring, not so painful as physical therapy, because the machine is assisting me to move my arm up and down and laterally," Mr Soon Eng Sam, a stroke patient in his seventies who used the Armeo to train his affected left hand, told Agence France-Presse.
Beyond rehabilitative or therapy robots, however, the AIC does not expect robots to take over caregivers in the near future. "Robots are generally still considered a costly alternative. Caregivers, being able to provide more psycho-social care and engage in interpersonal interactions with the elderly, will continue to play a role," an AIC spokesperson said.
Robots: Caring for Japan's elders
It comes as no surprise that Japan is looking to embrace robots to cope with urgent needs of its population, which is ageing at the fastest rate in the world.
But it appears that sleek, high-performance robots are not the best solution. Japanese companies have created humanoid robots such as the bear-like Riba, which can carry patients from the wheelchair to the bed, or even robot beds that can transform into a wheelchair on command – but such technology cost millions of yen and are not yet widely used. Actroid-F, an eerily life-like android that can perform simple human-like motions such as moving its head, smiling and speaking, was billed as a nurse of the future but has yet to take off.
Instead of banking on such futuristic robots, the Japanese authorities have focused on developing more practical and affordable robot technology to address the rising demand for nursing care or help the elderly stay independent at home.
Ideally, assistive robots should cost around ¥100,000 (S$1,214) and be able to help the elderly and their caregivers in daily activities. To qualify for government subsidies for R&D, the robots should fit into one of these four categories: robot suits that can reduce the strength caregivers need in order to lift or move their patients, portable self-cleaning robot toilets, robots that help patients walk independently, or those that can monitor the elderly's movements.
In our daily lives
Meanwhile, catching an extra 20 minutes of sleep while your car drives you to work is no longer just sci-fi fantasy.
While Google headlines the self-driving vehicle movement worldwide with its autonomous cars, local versions have been created by the National University of Singapore (NUS) and the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART).
These driverless buggies will go on trial in the Jurong Lake District this year. Free rides will be offered to get commuters used to the idea of self-driving vehicles. The eventual aim is to use these bots to ferry commuters from nearby train stations to the office buildings in the area.
These self-driving vehicles could take a little getting used to. At a demonstration at the Science Centre Singapore in July this year, some passengers gasped as the NUS-SMART buggy started moving. They marvelled at how its steering wheel turned as though controlled by invisible hands; bystanders jumped in front of it to test its sensors. Safe to say, nobody was hurt, with the buggy stopping quickly whenever it detected obstacles in its path.
Social robots – designed to be companions rather than serfs – are becoming reality too.
Jibo, now available for US$499 (S$619), recognises your voice and helps with daily tasks such as answering phone calls, taking photographs or controlling home appliances. It can even read bedtime stories to your child. Designed to be part of the family, the home robot swivels its head to pay attention to whoever is speaking, just as a human would.
A*STAR's Institute for Infocomm Research (I²R) revealed that it is in talks with several government agencies to introduce robots to boost productivity.
Dr Yau Wei Yun, Head of I²R's Robotics Programme, said they are exploring robots that could help librarians with time-consuming tasks such as maintaining the order of books on the shelves.
"The ultimate goal of our R&D effort is to achieve economic impact for Singapore," Dr Yau told Challenge. A*STAR has also created several social robots such as OLIVIA, a mobile "receptionist" robot that can respond appropriately to moods such as happiness, sadness, or excitement when it greets a visitor and answers general questions. The sleek 1.6m robot can even turn its head to face the person speaking to it, and gestures with its arms while speaking.
To nurture the next generation of robotics engineers, the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore and Singapore Polytechnic launched a Robotics & Maker Academy for 30 primary and secondary schools in July. Through hands-on activities such as workshops and competitions over the next three years, students will learn to code and create robots.
As machines with increasing intelligence and capabilities continue to permeate our lives, we should consider our mindsets towards them.
Are bots our frenemies?
While many are optimistic about the positive changes that robots can bring, there are those who have reasonably highlighted the potential pitfalls of robots pervading our world.
As history has shown, unemployment spikes whenever new technology is introduced to improve efficiency. Just look at how machines displaced workers from farms and factories during the Industrial Revolution.
Researchers from the University of Oxford predict that nearly half of the jobs in America today, including telemarketers, insurance underwriters and library technicians, could be replaced by machines in the next 20 years. For instance, self-driving vehicles could render taxi and bus drivers obsolete.
In this scenario, the government has a responsibility to help those who lose their jobs, said sociologist Assistant Professor Sulfikar Amir, who teaches the Science, Technology and Society course at Nanyang Technological University. One way is to assist these workers to re-skill and stay relevant. Schools could also prepare Singaporeans for the future by developing more "human skills" that involve creativity and hospitality.
The Ministry of Manpower's Risk Management and Futures team is already looking into the trend of robots and automation, including its potential costs and benefits, said Senior Assistant Director Lim Tze Min.
"I'm personally optimistic about robots," said Mr Lim, "but there're also risks from increased automation. These include potential workplace safety and health risks when robots work alongside humans, as well as the possibility that the skills workers have today could become less relevant.
"Also, people may not take well to being served by robots – so you can increase productivity but lose your customers."
Assistant Professor Sulfikar also highlighted issues that could arise from abuse of robotic technology. One example he raised was privacy concerns that stem from using drones, a broad category of unmanned flying vehicles.
"There should be laws that regulate the use of this kind of technology that can create problems in our society [and] rules to ensure that it would not be abused," he said.
Although the technology for drones has been around for decades, and these small, unmanned aircraft have been rising in popularity over the past few years, regulators are still struggling to catch up. In the US, the Federal Aviation Administration is under pressure to draw up regulations for the certification and operation of civilian drones by 2015.
As of now, the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore is looking into regulating drones here. But beyond that, which agency will regulate the many other kinds of robots that are already out there?
Embracing your new buddy
Love 'em or hate 'em, robots look set to be the new reality. As machines with increasing intelligence and capabilities continue to permeate our lives, we should consider our mindsets towards them. Would you have qualms about being served by robot receptionists? What about having robots caring for your baby or elderly parents?

Carré Frais est une marque commerciale française d'une série de fromages industriels appartenant au groupe Elle & Vire. Ce fromage est fabriqué à l'usine fromagère Bressor, située à Grièges, dans l'Ain, une filiale du groupe agro-industriel Savencia Fromage & Dairy.

Cette marque est la version industrielle de l'appellation fromagère demi-sel au lait cru.

Description
Ce sont des fromages à base de lait de vache pasteurisé, à pâte fraîche salée, de  de matières grasses, d'un poids moyen de , qui se présentent sous forme d'un cube de  de côté.

Historique
 1872 : Charles Gervais s'installe en Normandie afin d'y fabriquer des fromages demi-sel de marque Carré Gervais. Quelques années plus tard, face à une demande parisienne croissante, celui-ci déménage alors à Ferrières-en-Bray pour installer un atelier de transformation plus spacieux.
 1967 : l'entreprise Gervais fusionne avec l'entreprise espagnole Danone qui formeront le groupe Gervais Danone et deviendra en 1973 l'entreprise Danone actuelle.
 1999 : Bongrain rachète Carré Frais à Danone et perd par conséquent la marque Gervais.
 2000 : la première fabrication de Carré Frais se fait à Grièges avec un nouvel emballage aluminium pour toute la gamme; la marque renoue avec la croissance après une période difficile.
 2002 : la gamme s'étoffe d'un fromage à  de matière grasse.
 2009 : la gamme s'étoffe d'un fromage à  de matière grasse à l'ail et aux fines herbes.
 2010 : la gamme s'étoffe d'un fromage de lait de vache issu de l'agriculture biologique certifiée.
 2011 : un nouveau format adapté à un usage culinaire pour le produit  (2 x ).
 2012 : la gamme s'étoffe d'un fromage à  de matière grasse au poivre et aux baies roses.
 2017 : nouvelle recette du Carré Frais. Ces fromages sont maintenant commercialisés dans un boitier entièrement de carton et non plus filmé de plastique, la consistance est plus crémeuse, moins légère au palais qu'auparavant.

Slogan
« L'authentique fromage frais depuis 1872. »

Gamme
La gamme est aujourd'hui formée de six produits : quatre à 15 % de matière grasse et deux à , dont deux aromatisés (ail et fines herbes). Elle se décompose donc ainsi :
 Carré Frais Nature (8 x 25 g et 12 x 25 g) ;
Carré Frais Ail et Fines Herbes (8 x 25g) ;
 Carré Frais Bio (8 x 25 g) ;
 Carré Frais 0 % Nature (8 x 25 g) ;
 Carré Frais 0 % Ail et Fines Herbes (8 x 25 g).

Bankruptcy Court Reluctantly Allows Creditor To Shuck "Lil' Sweet Pea" Accounts

Authored by: Laith Hamdan
Pictured: The Lil' Sweet Pea account holders .
Any first-year law student could attest that understanding what the law is can be a difficult task, in part because the law is not always applied consistently by courts. This problem gives rise to a maxim law professors often invoke (sometimes citing Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, a proponent of this maxim) when questioned about the law's occasional incoherence: "hard cases make bad law."[1] The idea is that courts are sometimes tempted to skirt the proper application of the law when the result seems harsh or unfair. Typically, this happens when a court is faced with a particularly sympathetic party who happens to be on the wrong side of the dispute. Although the court's desire to avoid a harsh outcome is laudable, if the court allows this desire to distort its interpretation of the law it allows other (often less sympathetic) parties to avoid proper application of the law as well. At a minimum, when the law is applied inconsistently it creates confusion and ambiguity, for which future parties will need to spend time and money litigating simply to figure out their legal rights .
In the recent case of In re Kunkel, 17-5781-SWD, 2018 WL 735929 (W.D. Mich. Feb. 5, 2018), one bankruptcy court prudently upheld the integrity of the judicial system by faithfully applying the letter of the law in an important legal area (contractual setoff rights), even though doing so may have deprived two young children of their life savings. Ms. Kunkel was a member of the Michigan State University Federal Credit Union (the "Credit Union"), with whom she maintained a VISA credit card account. Ms. Kunkel's two minor children were also members of the Credit Union, having opened "Lil' Sweet Pea" savings accounts in 2006. The Credit Union's decision to offer such accounts to children under the age of five was undertaken to teach children a lesson about saving for the future. (As the kids aged, they could move up to the Credit Union's "Dollar Dog" accounts, and then as teenagers, could enroll in "Cha-Ching" accounts – we are not kidding, check out these promos here.) Sadly, the lesson learned by Ms. Kunkel's children in this case was not a positive one.
On December 20, 2017, Ms. Kunkel and her husband found themselves in financial trouble, and filed chapter 13 bankruptcy cases. Before doing so, Ms. Kunkel had racked up $11,068 in credit card debt using her Credit Union VISA account. Unfortunately for the Kunkel children, who were less than five years old when their accounts were first opened, their mother was named as a joint owner on their Lil' Sweet Pea savings accounts. By the time of their mother's bankruptcy, the children were between the ages of ten and sixteen, and had saved about $11,000 between their accounts. Because their mother was a joint owner, the Credit Union sought to apply the children's money against their mother's credit card debt, citing a provision in Ms. Kunkel's membership agreement which gave the Credit Union a setoff right against any account in which Kunkel was a joint owner, notwithstanding the source of the funds in that account.
When the Credit Union moved the bankruptcy court for relief from the automatic stay to apply its setoff right, the law was clearly on the Credit Union's side. Ms. Kunkel's failure to timely pay her credit card bills and the Credit Union's contractual rights were legally sufficient to establish "cause" to lift the stay. Even assuming that the money represented eleven years' worth of birthday card money and lemonade stand revenue, because it was held in a joint account, the law treats the children as non-recourse guarantors, having in effect pledged their interest in that money as collateral for their mother's debt.
Despite its recognition that the law required it to rule in favor of the Credit Union, the court made no effort to hide its views of the "unseemliness of shucking the 'Lil' Sweet Pea' accounts to pay the debts of the Children's mother." The court emphasized that it would not rule on the merits "or advisability" of the proposed setoff, requiring the parties to "pursue their state court rights, or not, as they see fit." The court also hinted its apparent preference that Ms. Kunkel and the Credit Union instead negotiate a new chapter 13 plan "to accommodate the needs of all interested parties, including the Children." With its final expression of disapproval, the court refused to make its decision effective immediately, allowing the stay to remain effective for 14 additional days under Bankruptcy Rule 4001(a)(3) despite having little basis to believe that Ms. Kunkel could justifiably seek post-judgment relief from the court's order. In the end, however, the court commendably recognized its duty to "be guided by statute and case law, rather than any visceral reaction to the harshness of a creditor's proposed action." Despite the tremendous sympathy that one must feel for the children in this case, the court's steadfast adherence to the law gives reassurance to financial institutions (and their lawyers) that they can depend on well-settled legal principles to determine their legal rights when offering credit or other financial services to consumers.

Round 1 of the Ride to End Obesity program kicked off successfully today at Black Mountain Middle School in the Poway Unified School District. Kids engaged in conversations about nutrition, staying hydrated, bike and street safety, aspects of training, and components of BMX Racing. Following the discussion, all of the kids were invited to try their hands at riding first-hand. The kids rode in and out of obstacles, as we witnessed their posture improve with each lap. Immediately we could see a surge in confidence. There were no shortage of smiles especially on Sara's face, as she learned to ride a bike today for the first time. We may not change kids overnight, but we are committed to encouraging them to make healthier choices and to get outside and move. The play deficit in America is frightening and it's time we get our local youth back in the game with movement. The team will be back on the road visiting another school next week.

10TV: How COVID-19 is Challenging Healthcare Providers
With over 3,300 positive tests for COVID-19 in Ohio as of April 3, the virus has posed new challenges to healthcare workers as they prepare for what's to come.
Laurie Hommema, MD, OhioHealth medical director of provider and associate well-being, spoke with 10TV about how the industry is handling the rapidly evolving situation.
"Everything is so emotionally charged right now," said Dr. Hommema. "I think it's because we are stepping into the unknown. We don't have a cure, we don't have therapies that are proven yet, and all we can do is supportive care in the hospital. I think that weighs heavily on a lot of our providers."
Dr. Hommema and her team monitor factors like shift length, personal time off and quality recharging for physicians and associates.
"We're training for a marathon. Because we know it's not going to go away quickly," said Dr. Hommema.

Livermore scientists capture crystallization of materials in nanoseconds https://www.certev.ufscar.br/news/livermore-scientists-capture-crystallization-of-materials-in-nanoseconds https://www.certev.ufscar.br/@@site-logo/certevlogo20.png
Anne M Stark, LLNL, (925) 422-9799, stark8@llnl.gov
Lawrence Livermore researchers for the first time have created movies of irreversible reactions that occur too rapidly to capture with conventional microscopy.
The team used multi-frame, nanosecond-scale imaging in the dynamic transmission electron microscope (DTEM) to create movies of the crystallization of phase change materials used for optical and resistive memory. A phase-change material (PCM) is a substance that can be switched between an amorphous and a crystalline state with rapid heating.
Optical memory (compact discs and DVDs) and non-volatile Random Access Memory (RAM) use the distinct optical and electrical properties of the amorphous and crystalline phases of PCMs. For memory applications, it is necessary to switch between the amorphous and crystalline phases in nanoseconds by rapid heating. Heating may be achieved by laser- or current-pulses, but in either case, crystallization of the amorphous phase is the slower, data-rate-limiting process compared to the melt-quench process that switches the PCM from crystalline to amorphous.
A solid understanding of crystallization kinetics during laser and resistive heating, where heating rates may exceed 10 trillion degrees Celsius per second and crystal growth rates approach their maximum, is extremely important because they directly impact device speed.
"We recorded movies of laser-induced crystallization and measured crystal growth rates at temperatures close to where the maximum growth rate occurs," said Melissa Santala, lead author in the May 3 edition of the journal,Applied Physics Letters. "This paves the way for studying crystallization kinetics of phase change materials over the whole range of technologically relevant temperatures."
Dynamic processes such as laser- or current-induced crystallization are orders of magnitude too fast to capture with other imaging techniques.
The development of pulsed photo-emission transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques with high temporal resolution has enabled the study of processes occurring on the microsecond to femtosecond scale. To examine irreversible reactions important in materials science, the "single-shot" technique is required, where a very short, high-current electron pulse is used to probe a reacting material on the nanosecond scale.
The team used the single-shot DTEM at Lawrence Livermore that has been re-designed, by Thomas LaGrange, Bryan Reed, Glenn Huete, Richard Shuttlesworth and William DeHope, to generate multiple nanosecond electron pulses spaced over several microseconds, which probe a specimen multiple times during a single initiated reaction, forming a movie of a unique irreversible reaction.
The movie captured the crystallization of germanium telluride (GeTe), a semiconductor that is used in a wide range of applications.
"DTEM experiments are valuable for the evaluation of PCM alloys in the technologically relevant temperature regime, but further opportunities exist to build a more complete understanding of crystallization kinetics of GeTe and other PCMs." Santala said.
The movies allowed researchers to analyze the direct measurement of crystal growth rates at the high temperatures and short times especially relevant to the function of PCM memory devices.
The team includes another Livermore scientist, Geoffrey Campbell, as well as two scientists from IBM. The research was funded by the Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Basic Energy Sciences (BES), Division of Materials Sciences and Engineering.

Show up with chocolate and you too can get this greeting. Actually, If you just get there early in general, you probably will anyway, because the folks here are fantastic.
The idea of fitting the typical winery mold is eschewed for the benefit of making good wine more accessible and approachable to everyone.
Tradition is respected with attention to quality, but a hint of irreverence prevails in the delightful flavor innovations that appear. Fruit combinations like the Hometown Heroes Peach Chardonnay are bright and refreshing without sending one into sugar shock. That's just one of the delightful surprises waiting alongside classic styles like the C-Town Cabernet Sauvignon The variety runs the gambit with something for every kind of wino. And if you're more of a beer drinker, try the Dry Hopped Pinot Grigio on Daught, it's light bubbles with a hoppy nose and refreshing finish is perfect with some spicy Boiling Seafood from across the street.
He's still welcome, as long as he isn't a party pooper.
OH Fuudge is proud to announce that this fabulous new Cleveland favorite is our first official Flavorizor. That's a technical term, I'm telling you, I'll get it into the dictionary…well maybe urban dictionary.
See, I had this inkling that the hot fudge sauce I made was possibly good enough to sell. And after I shared samples, and sold a good bit at the Black Girl in the CLE Holiday Pop Up (hosted by CLE U W); my second craft show, this year, where I sold very little art, but a whole bunch of my booze-infused hot fudge, I felt even more confident about it. So after the pop-up, I had a chat with the owner and I mentioned to the idea of collaborating with local flavors to re-imagine my recipes.


Like Twitter without the pressure of pithy writing, Instagram allows you to share your current status to friends and followers by simply uploading a photo from your iPhone or Android. Created by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger, the free photo-sharing app—which recently sold to Facebook for $1 billion—comes with 11 filters, blurring effects, borders and a brightening tool for users to play with. These enhancement features allow nearly anyone to post a great photo, but to gain a huge following from Instagram's 25 million users it usually boils down to how you view the world. Six photographers that continuously capture New York City with fresh eyes will soon debut their work away from the very-small screen in an upcoming group show.
The two-month exhibition opens 1 May 2012, and will feature photos by Brian Difeo (@bridif), Angeliki Jackson (@astrodub), John de Guzman (@johndeguzman), Liz Eswein (@newyorkcity), Chrixtian Xavier Chantemargue (@cxcart), and a man known simply as Theo (@uptowneastnyc).
Whether focused on architecture, street art, people or food, each photographer demonstrates that a compelling photo isn't always the product of an amazing camera set-up. Brian Difeo, one of the founding members of NYC Instagram Community and curator of the group show, hopes that the exhibition will elevate the social media application's status as a legitimate creative medium, and not just a tool that makes cameraphone photos look vintage.
Instagram-inspired exhibitions in London, Singapore and Ireland have already added to its place as a new photography format. The show is sure to be an interesting display of works, whether you're a fan of digital media or the city itself.
The group exhibit runs from 1 May through 30 June 2012 at the W Hotel Times Square.


A coach service between Glasgow and Edinburgh has been extended to run 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Most Scottish Citylink's late-night services in both directions will also stop at Edinburgh Airport.
The firm said the move was in response to growing passenger demand for an overnight service.
Services will operate at least every 15 minutes during the daytime, half hourly between 19:30 and midnight, with a further six early-hour departures.
Peter Knight, of Scottish Citylink, said: "The 900 service has gone from strength to strength over recent years.
"With a growing number of business travellers, commuters and leisure users using the service between two of our largest cities, there has been great demand to increase our overnight connections throughout the week.
"By adding a late night stop at Edinburgh Airport it also means that Citylink is proving 24 hour a day transport to and from one of our most important transport hubs."
Some of the new late night services will also stop at Maxim Office Park, near the M8 motorway, about 12 miles from Glasgow city centre.
Park director Craig Ritchie said: "The growth of Maxim Office Park and Eurocentral has resulted in a huge demand for increased public transport links to the area."

Exclusive Interview: Everybody's Talking About Jamie star Max Harwood "I wanted to forget what I'd seen on stage & root my character in the real-life inspiration"
Ahead of today's global launch of Everybody's Talking About Jamie on Prime Video, The Queer Review's editor James Kleinmann spoke exclusively with the film's breakout star Max Harwood.
Based on the hit West End show, which was inspired by a true story—or as the opening titles put it, "this really happened, then we added the singing and the dancing"—director Johnathan Butterell's screen adaptation is a gem of a movie musical which follows Jamie (Harwood) as he turns 16 and receives his first pair of ruby glitter high heels and decides to go to his high school prom in drag.
"I've been a fan of drag for years", Harwood told us, "but I hadn't done any of it myself before the film. So it was so exciting and I got to really explore it on a quite nice budget and I got people to help me like look good, because I wasn't very good at makeup or anything like that."

Harwood (like the rest of us), is an avid watcher of RuPaul's Drag Race so sharing a scene, briefly, with season six winner Bianca Del Rio who makes a cameo in the movie was quite a thrill for the young actor. "I love Bianca so much", says Harwood, "I actually heard Bianca's voice before I saw her walking into the trailer! It was such a lovely experience working with her, fleeting as it was."
Involved in the majority of the film's song and dance numbers, Harwood tells us that that aspect of making the movie was "absolutely amazing; joyous, fabulous, but exhausting, obviously. We were shooting for 12 hour days and I had to keep my voice in check so it was a process. I definitely got better with those numbers as we got on I think, but I had amazing coaches. The soundtrack is just everything. I love this music so much and I'm so so grateful to be able to be part of that amazing list of people that are on it."

When it comes to his favourite musical sequence in Jamie, Harwood says that the one that felt most like "a dream" to perform was The Wall In My Head because I felt like I was able to draw my own experience of building up those walls in my head. I felt like I could be so detailed in my performance as an actor, but also showcase my vocal skills as well. It was one of the songs that when I watched the musical on stage initially, I was like, 'wow, where can I get the sheet music?!' At the time you couldn't just buy it, so I had to rip it off of someone who got links, and then I had to get hold of the music so I could sing it!"

While preparing to play the role, Max got to spend some time with the inspiration for the character, Jamie Campbell. "I was really lucky", Harwood shares, "I got to meet Jamie before I started shooting. We had many conversations about his life beyond what we see in the documentary. He was so open with me in that process. I was very firm in my belief that I wanted to forget what I'd seen on stage, from what the boys had done so wonderfully before me, and to really root my character fully in the real-life inspiration."
As for his own all-time favourite movie musicals, Harwood says that for him it comes down to Grease and Annie. "I used to watch them all the time, sing all the songs, and dress up in my living room with my sister to try and be all the characters!" In countless homes across the world right now, folks watching Harwood in Everybody's Talking About Jamie are likely doing the same thing.

Bankruptcy And SMSF Trusteeship
John and Mary are individual trustees of their SMSF. John has incurred quite a substantial amount of unmanageable debts and recently entered into a voluntary bankruptcy. John is unsure what he should do as a trustee in these circumstances.
Bankruptcy is a serious issue for anyone but additional caution needs to be taken by members of SMSFs. The superannuation laws expressly disqualify any undischarged bankrupt person from acting as a trustee or director of corporate trustee of a SMSF and this disqualification extends to persons who are bankrupt under the laws foreign countries.
John should immediately retire as a trustee and notify ATO in writing as it would be an offence for a disqualified person to act as a trustee of a SMSF knowing that he or she is disqualified. It would not be a convincing excuse that he was not aware of this obligation.
As a trustee of a SMSF, John would have formally declared (by signing a mandatory ATO declaration form) that he understands his obligations as a trustee and that if he does not comply with the relevant legislation regarding the superannuation fund, the Commissioner may prosecute him under the law, which may result in fines or imprisonment.
Further, the superannuation laws expressly prohibit any representatives (i.e. Enduring Attorneys) from acting as representative trustees on behalf of bankrupt (disqualified) trustees.
As John cannot continue to act a trustee, he must also exit the SMSF as a member within 6 months of becoming bankrupt in order to comply with the requirement that all members must be trustees or directors of the corporate trustee of the SMSF.
Accordingly, his balance in the SMSF must be carefully dealt with after seeking both legal and financial advice. Generally, superannuation assets of a bankrupt held in a complying superannuation fund are protected from the creditors, however certain contributions made to the SMSF may not be protected if the main purpose of the contributions was to keep the assets from being available to the creditors.
It may be that statistically only a small number of SMSF members may ever be in the situation similar to John. However, a number of precautionary measures can be built into the terms of the trust in order to alleviate some of the issues raised above such as automatic retirement of a trustee who becomes bankrupt or otherwise disqualified to act as a trustee.

Enjoy the radiant colours of spring when you visit Nuwara Eliya on a bespoke holiday in Sri Lanka in the coming months. Situated in the mountainous Central Province of Sri Lanka, Nuwara Eliya is a tableland perched at a height of a little over 6,000 feet. It is not commonly known that Nuwara Eliya, literally meaning 'City of Lights', was the favourite destination of the earliest British planters that came to India in the colonial era. The hilly city is in fact locally christened 'Little England' for its grand colonial architecture, temperate vegetation and cool British country feel.
While it remains blanketed in a cold, rainy mist from November to February, come April the town breaks out in sunny weather, myriad colours and thousands of visitors enjoying their spring holiday in Sri Lanka. Wake up early one morning and take a short bus ride to the Hakgala Botanical Gardens, a few kilometres southeast on the Nuwara Eliya-Badulla main road. Hindu legend has it that the demon king Ravana abducted Lord Rama's wife Sita and brought her back to Lanka. He kept her hidden in this region, letting this garden (then called Ashok Vatika) serve as her retreat. During the spring season, Hakgala gardens will be covered in thousands of multi-coloured blooms and the air fragrant with the smell of roses.
Discover the striking beauty of Sri Lanka by visiting the many natural heritage spots in Nuwara Eliya. Victoria Park is a spectacularly landscaped park right in the vicinity of the city centre. It is an urban oasis, great for bird-watching and for taking in the sights and sounds of nature in the morning before the city awakes. You could also spend an hour or two at Lake Gregory, boating peacefully on the lake's placid surface. The sights around the lake are picturesque and well worth being included in your itinerary on a holiday in Sri Lanka.
Half a day must be reserved to visit the Horton Plains National Park, which is located some 32 kilometres out of Nuwara Eliya and takes 45 minutes drive to reach. Tour groups usually set out of Nuwara Eliya before dawn so as to witness the breathtaking sunrise at the national park. It is a high-altitude grassland rich in flora and fauna. The Sri Lankan Sambhar Deer can be found in great numbers in the montane forests that intersperse the grassland. The most important tourist attraction in the Horton Plains is World's End – an isolated cliff with a sheer drop of over 1,000 metres. About a kilometre from here is the Lesser World's End with a drop of 300 metres. The view from the cliffs is exquisite. Also within the national park are the 20 metre-high Baker's Falls, named after Sir Samuel Baker, a famous British explorer who established the first agricultural settlement at Nuwara Eliya in 1846 and is also said to have discovered Lake Albert in Africa. You can pack a hamper and enjoy a picnic relaxing amidst wild ferns and rhododendron bushes near the falls.
The entire trek in and around the park covers about 9 kilometres, so it is better to wear good walking shoes and be prepared to walk. It is also to be kept in mind that Sri Lanka is a very clean country and they encourage tourists to be responsible as well. Entering the Horton Plains bearing matches, cigarettes or lighters is therefore strictly prohibited, as is the use of plastic bags. While in that neighbourhood, you could also drop by at the quaint little Ambewala Farms to rejuvenate while watching farm animals ruminate in their natural surroundings. On a holiday in Sri Lanka, there are great photo ops to be found at every turn.
It goes without saying that on a holiday in Sri Lanka, one will naturally be surrounded by tea plantations and factories everywhere. Pay a visit to one of the tea estates and watch the local tea pickers at work; you will gain a whole new level of respect for the process that culminates every morning with the cuppa in your hands. Embark on a tour of one of the tea factories to learn how tea is picked, dried and packed. End the tour with a complimentary cup of the world famous Sri Lankan tea and buy some too if you'd like to surprise your loved ones back home. For the adventurous at heart, a hike up to the top of the nearby Lover's Leap waterfalls can be a wonderful experience, as is walking back all the way to town passing by the charming countryside.
For a very English experience, head over to the city's well-known golf course and try your hand at this elite game. The golf course stretches across the entire length of Nuwara Eliya and you can see the players practising on the sprawling greens while you stroll around the city. Another leftover colonial tradition can be relived at the Nuwara Eliya race courses that are considered the best in all of Sri Lanka. Races are on throughout the month of April and are an exhilarating event to behold. However irrespective of what you do and where you go, the laid-back feel and unassuming beauty of Nuwara Eliya is bound to strike a chord in your heart, bringing you back again to this hill country on another bespoke holiday in Sri Lanka.
