Michigan unemployment agency wasn't effective in processing pandemic claims, audit shows
Adrienne Roberts
A new state audit released Friday found Michigan's Unemployment Insurance Agency wasn't effective in processing unemployment insurance claims during the pandemic and improperly granted overpayment waivers to some claimants while not considering others that met the waiver criteria, one of several other findings related to the way the agency distributed benefits and handled overpayment waivers in the months that followed.
The audit estimated the agency may have improperly granted $1.7 billion in overpayment waivers but didn't consider waivers for claims totaling $280.7 million that met its waiver criteria.
The 126-page audit, the Office of the Michigan Auditor General's most comprehensive audit on the unemployment agency's performance in the pandemic to date, found issues with the way the agency communicated with claimants and detailed several problems with the way the UIA processed regular jobless claims, set up federal programs and granted waivers for overpayments.
Some of the new findings:
The agency did not investigate potentially misleading or inaccurate information provided by Pandemic Unemployment Assistance claimants to identify benefit overpayments or determine when overpayments resulted from intentional misrepresentation by the claimant.
The UIA did not require some PUA claimants to certify they met federal eligibility criteria for those benefits and, therefore, the UIA could not support the appropriateness of PUA payments of $10.2 billion.
The UIA should improve its administration of PUA requalification, recertification and overpayment waiver processes.
The agency didn't require 314,000 known PUA claimants with no identifiable wages or recent income tax records to provide additional information to demonstrate they had a previous attachment to the workforce and were unemployed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The agency paid these claimants more than $4.9 billion in benefits.
The UIA did not maintain claimants' originally completed PUA applications when it revised its PUA application forms. Thus, it appears in the state's online unemployment insurance system that claimants had not followed the agency's instructions at the time they submitted income information.
The UIA did not consistently require that regular unemployment insurance claimants certify they were able and available for full-time work.
Many of the findings in the audit stem from issues related to the agency's mission at the beginning of the pandemic of getting benefits out the door to as many claimants as quickly as possible. Under the then-director Steve Gray's leadership, investigations division staff were temporarily reassigned and rules were removed from the agency's automated fraud detection system.
While this allowed for more staff to assist with claims processing and more expedient payments to claimants, the audit found, it "significantly diminished UIA's ability to help ensure unemployment insurance program integrity."
On top of that, changing federal guidance and the agency's inclusion of qualifying questions that were not authorized by the U.S. Department of Labor led to confusion over who was eligible for benefits, issues that the agency is still dealing with the fallout from today.
For example, the audit found the unauthorized qualifying questions the agency included directly impacted over 25% of all unemployment insurance benefits paid out from the start of the pandemic to the summer of 2022.
The agency began the waiver process for overpayments it caused by using unauthorized criteria in June 2021, asking nearly 650,000 PUA claimants to requalify and/or recertify for benefits, using the specific federal criteria only. Generally speaking, the audit found that the claimants granted these waivers were PUA claimants who did not respond to UIA's request or responded to the requests without selecting an eligible reason and did not have a previously identified overpayment associated with their specific claims.
Julia Dale, the director of the UIA who took over in October 2021, said in a letter dated Dec. 14 to Michigan Auditor General Doug Ringler, that the audit, which she received in advance, "misses the mark" in two respects: "It ignores the reforms the agency has made to resolve them and lacks the context behind what caused these problems."
In an interview with the Detroit Free Press in mid-December before the audit was released, Dale said the "issues that are being addressed here (in the yet-to-be-public audit), frankly, have been addressed and addressed again, and addressed yet again, and it's a rehashing of old news."
Michigan House Republican Leader Matt Hall, R-Richland Township, said in an emailed statement that oversight of the agency is now "more crucial than ever."
"When the people of Michigan were struggling, the unemployment agency failed jobless workers who really needed help, cut corners and wasted billions of taxpayer dollars to fraud and mistake," Hall said.
This is the fourth audit of the UIA in just over a year about its performance in the pandemic, when the agency, alongside others across the country, rushed to get out benefits to laid-off workers and implement new federal jobless programs amid changing guidance.
The first, released in November 2021, found the agency "wasn't effective" in its implementation of the federal PUA program — which expanded benefits to cover freelancers and contract workers, for example, who typically wouldn't qualify for regular benefits — and included four eligibility criteria that were not authorized by the U.S. Department of Labor.
An audit released a few months later found the agency routinely gave people previously convicted of fraud, embezzlement and similar financial crimes access to sensitive information that, in at least one case, was later used to steal public money. Most recently, an audit released in May echoed the findings from the prior audit. It said the UIA didn't limit access to sensitive information for certain employees and failed to conduct proper background checks for temporary workers.
Dale said in December that more than a third of the findings in this audit have already been raised in prior audits. She said the time she and UIA staff have spent working over the last 19 months with auditor staff to address previously discovered issues "takes away from our efforts and energy to continue to improve and reform the agency, pay out claims and serve Michigan workers."
Dale said when she saw the report, she was "disappointed."
"I felt as though they had disregarded the conversations we've had in the past, the information that we have provided them about the course corrections we've made, the improvements we've made and the matters that we've already answered to in prior audits," she said.
Some of those "course corrections" include:
Selecting Deloitte to replace its decade-old unemployment benefits system. The new system is expected to be fully operational in 2025.
Implementing a "zero-tolerance policy" on fraud: Dale's letter said there have been 109 search warrants executed, 90 people charged, 94 pending cases, and another 28 who have pleaded and 15 who were sentenced.
Meeting with several businesses and claimants to see how they "interact with the agency, what the needs and expectations are and how we can best meet their needs."

'Arrowverse' Midseason Preview Teases Trouble for The CW Superheroes
Arrowverse Midseason Preview Teases Trouble for The CW Superheroes
The CW has released revealing synopses for Supergirl, The Flash and Arrow, which return for their mid-season premieres next month.
The CW has previewed the upcoming midseason premieres for three of its Arrowverse shows. Supergirl, The Flash and Arrow are all set to return in January with new episodes and all of the heroes are struggling in their own ways. The network has just released the synopses for the upcoming episodes and the DC heroes are going to have a lot on their plates when they return.
Warning: spoilers ahead for Supergirl, The Flash and Arrow. If you're not caught up on all of the Arrowverse shows, these plot descriptions for the upcoming episodes do contain spoilers. So get caught up before you read what's coming up next. First up is Supergirl, which returns on Monday, January 15 in the episode Legion of Superheroes. Here's the official synopsis for the episode.
RELATED: Superman & Batwoman ArrowVerse Crossover Canceled at The CW
"Struggling to heal from her injuries inflicted by Reign, Supergirl remains in a dreamlike state, unable to be reached. Mon-El recruits one of the Legion members, Brainiac-5 (Defiance's Jesse Rath), to try to bring her back. Meanwhile, Reign continues her rampage on the city so the DEO teams up with the Legion of Superheroes to try to stop her."
Next up is The Flash, which sees Barry Allen return in a very compromising position in the episode The Trial of the Flash on Tuesday, January 16. In the episode, "As Barry's trial for the murder of Clifford DeVoe begins, Iris and Joe must decide how far they are willing to go to keep Barry out of prison." It sounds like this is going to turn The Flash into something of a courtroom drama for at least a week. Maybe Barry will end up in prison for a bit? Like father like son.
Finally, Arrow returns with the episode Divided on Thursday, January 18. Oliver Queen has seen better days, but his confidence hasn't wavered any, even though half of his team is gone. It's now up to him, Felicity and Diggle to stop a growing threat. That is, until he finds an "unlikely ally". Here's the full synopsis.
"Despite losing half his team, Oliver remains confident that he, Felicity and Diggle can stop Cayden James and Black Siren However, when he discovers one of Cayden's secrets, he decides to team up with an unlikely ally. Meanwhile, Dinah spends time with Vince."
Noticeably absent from this lineup is DC's Legends of Tomorrow. The series doesn't actually return until February 12 from its hiatus, replacing Supergirl in the Monday time slot it occupies for a short while. So it's likely that The CW will release a synopsis for the Legends of Tomorrow midseason premiere in January, which is why it wasn't included in this Arrowverse preview, via TV Line. Even so, it sounds like there's going to be plenty of Arrowverse action to go around in the new year with Supergirl, The Flash and Arrow all in pretty dramatic situations.

For The Skin We're In, the Cut talked to intriguing people around the country about their approaches to skin care. Beauty expert Felicia Walker Benson's website, ThisThatBeauty, has consistently been named one of the top 50 beauty blogs to follow. She's particularly known in the beauty world for her Instagram stories, which chronicle her extensive skin-care routines. Below, Benson talked to the Cut about investing time and money to get the skin you want, how to treat adult acne, and why she doesn't believe in one miracle product.
On staying in tune with your skin: It's important that people educate themselves on their skin. Just like your gynecologist may say you need to be in tune with how your body is doing, you need to do the same with your skin. I developed adult acne when I was 20 or so, so what I do for my skin really does change all the time.
There's also a lot of education you need to learn about products. Cynthia Erivo came to my office the other day and we talked a lot because she never really understood how to take cues from her skin. We were talking about how to follow where her skin is leading her rather than trying something just because it's great. The Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum is awesome and I love it. And that's fine, because it's actually a really good product. But do you know when is the best time to use it for your skin, which kind of skin is it ideal for, and how can you use it with other products?
My typical daily routine is that I cleanse, sometimes maybe double cleanse, and then another cleanse. After that I tone my skin, I do an essence, I do a serum, I do a moisturizer, an eye cream, and then a sunscreen. At night time I swap the sunscreen for a night cream.
On listening to her skin: My night toners and cleansers, they really do change on a daily basis depending on what my skin needs. During the week, I also do my fair share of either masking, or some kind of chemical or enzyme exfoliant. If I see a pimple flaring up, I might use an acne one with salicylic acid in it. If my skin is just calm and regular, I might use a chamomile toner.
If my chin is congested, then rather than a gentle cleanser, I'll reach for something with papaya enzyme to break it down. Then I might follow with a detox mask just on my chin — but not my whole face because I don't want my forehead to be dried out.
On getting rid of acne: I stopped breaking out when I learned how to listen and respond to my skin. I also learned to prevent rather than act on things when it's too late. For example, I use a high frequency device two or three times a week just to keep bacteria down. I know I'm acne-prone, so that means I have bacteria growth and overactive sebaceous glands. Using that high frequency wand and waving it around a few patches around my face two or three times a week is going to benefit reducing the bacteria and preventing breakouts. I know my acne hot spots — they're under my chin, and on the side of my face.
On using tools: I also use a lot of other tools. I use a micro-current device for lifting and sculpting of the skin, and I've been using that for maybe eight years. I use face rollers and I have a jade roller.
On a ten-pound massage: I do a lot of facial massaging when I cleanse my skin. I go into the pressure points. [A tip] an esthetician taught me years ago is: ten pounds of pressure in your fingertips is what you want. Basically, she said that's the firmness you should be pushing through your fingers. So I do lots of that as well.
On giving up on "the one": Women have a lot of difficulty finding their perfect sunscreen. But I think their first mistake is that they're looking for the one — and that's the truth with all products. The truth is you may have one for when you're barefaced, one that works better under makeup, or one for when you're going to be outdoors a whole lot. You really have to be open to adjusting. You wouldn't wear the same shoes summer, winter, spring, fall, to church, to the club, or to brunch. It's the same thing with your skin-care products, your skin is changing.

Cabinet Office to mandate 'digital imprints' on online political ads in disinformation crackdown
'We must ensure that there are clear rules to help them see who is behind campaign content online,' says Chloe Smith

By John Johnston
Political parties are set to be forced to include "digital imprints" on all of their online campaign materials as part of a Cabinet Office plan to tackle misinformation.
Under plans unveiled by the Cabinet Office, online adverts will have to be labelled to show who has produced and paid for them.
It comes after years of pressure from transparency groups and regulatory bodies, who had warned of the dangers of misinformation being spread through unregulated online campaigning.
In 2018, the Electoral Commission, the UK's election watchdog, warned the lack of oversight on digital campaigning had left "democracy under threat".
The new proposals would bring online campaigning in line with regular printed political leaflets which are legally obligated to include details about which organisation or campaign group had produced and paid for them.
Unveiling the plans, constitution and devolution minister Chloe Smith, said: "People want to engage with politics online. That's where campaigners connect with voters and is why ahead of elections, almost half of political advertising budgets are now spent on digital content and activity."
She added: "But people want to know who is talking. Voters value transparency, so we must ensure that there are clear rules to help them see who is behind campaign content online.
"The measures we have outlined today are a big step forward towards making UK politics even more transparent and would lead to one of the most comprehensive set of regulations operating in the world today."
The proposals would see all registered political parties and campaigners forced to include the imprint on all paid and organic digital content, with other campaigners only expected to include the information on campaign material they had paid to promote.
Earlier this year, the Lords Democracy and Digital Technologies Committee had urged ministers to introduce imprints as part of a wider package of measures to tackle a "pandemic of misinformation".
And the cross-party group of peers said the government should go further by handing new powers to the Electoral Commission to impose fines of up to £500,000 on those who continued to spread "fundamentally inaccurate" messaging during elections.
Responding to the Cabinet Office plans, a spokesperson for the Electoral Commission said: "This is a welcome opportunity to deliver real change for voters and provide them with a better understanding of who is trying to reach them online."
And they added: "The use of digital tools for election and referendum campaigning is extensive, and we know that many voters are increasingly concerned about truth, transparency and the targeting of political advertisements.
"We have recommended extending imprint requirements to digital election and referendum material so we look forward to considering the government's proposals and the opportunity to deliver real benefits for voters, parties and campaigners."

Varied financial performance for blue-chips and dividends recommendations momentum
Sahem Weekly Trading Report (12-16)-02-2017
Al-Quds Index ended this week in the red zone, to close at the level of 535.68 points; down by 0.14% than its previous closing level. On another hand, Palestine Stock Exchange PEX witnessed, during the week, a momentum in the significant news of the Palestinian companies coinciding with the end of the legal period granted to these companies to disclose their preliminary annual financial data for the year 2016. However, the anticipations dominated the trading nature in the few previous weeks in waiting for disclosing the companies' financial data and their dividends distributions' trend accordingly, while, the coming period will witness a variation in the investors' behavior. Whereby, building investment positions for some stocks on one hand, and the price speculations that constitute an essential part within the stocks' routine price cycles, in parallel to the dividends' distribution season are what may distinguish the coming weeks.
The disclosed results by the blue-chips were one of the most significant and noticed issues from all the Palestinian securities' parties this week. Whereby, Bank of Palestine- the largest bank by market capitalization- announced posting net income attributable to the shareholders of the parent company of $50.99 million at the end of 2016; up by 18.32% than the year 2015, coinciding with an increase of 28.95% in net interests and commissions. Accordingly, BOP records book value BV of $1.88 and P/BV of 1.46x. Also, BOP recorded earnings per share EPS of $0.27 and PE ratio of 10.19x. On the other hand, the leading company- Arab Palestinian Investment Company APIC- disclosed recording net income attributable to the shareholders of the parent company of $8.27 million in the year 2016; up by 15.71% than the year 2015, and supported by a growth of 16.38% in the company's total revenues, to record EPS of $0.13. Accordingly, APIC records BV of $1.32, P/BV of 1.43x and PE ratio of 14.54x. However, regarding the largest investment company by market capitalization- Palestine Development and Investment Company PADICO-, it disclosed recording net income attributable to the shareholders of the parent company of $19.01 million at the end of 2016; down by 14.76% than the year 2015, affected by the decrease in the company's stake from its associates' profits and the performance of its subsidiaries, to record EPS of $0.08. Accordingly, PADICO records BV of $1.75, P/BV of 0.61X and PE ratio of 13.38x.
Regarding the other significant news, the PEX announced listing and starting trading on the shares of Sanad Construction Resources Company under the symbol SANAD beginning from the trading session of Monday 20/02/2017, to bring the number of listed companies to 49 companies. SANAD will be listed in the investment sector in the secondary market with authorized and paid-up capital of $66.00 million. On the other hand and regarding the dividends distribution announcements, the board of directors BOD of Birzeit Pharmaceutical Company BPC proposed to the general assembly GA, which will be holding a meeting on 17/04/2017, distributing 20% cash dividends for the year 2016, to record dividends yield of 4.04%. Moreover, the BOD of the Vegetable Oil Industries Company VOIC recommended to the GA that will be holding a meeting in the second half of April 2017, distributing 60% cash dividends for the year 2016, to record dividends yield of 5.82%. Also, the BOD of the Arab Company for Paint Products APC proposed to the GA that will be holding a meeting on 27/02/2017, distributing 40% cash dividends for the year 2016, to record dividends yield of 7.72%. Also, the BOD of the Arab Islamic Bank AIB proposed to the GA, which will be holding a meeting in the second half of March 2017, distributing 12% cash dividends for the year 2016, to record dividends yield of 6.74%. On the other hand, the BOD of Palestine Islamic Bank ISBK proposed raising the bank's paid-up capital by $6.50 million through distributing 5.60% stocks dividends ($3.50 million) and offering $3.00 million for secondary subscription, to raise the paid-up capital to $69.00 million. The BOD also proposed to the GA, which will be holding ordinary and extraordinary meetings on 29/03/2017, distributing 8.50% cash dividends, to record dividends yield of 4.01%.

Seymour J. Ponemone, a retired chemical engineer who was a volunteer and officer for the annual Baltimore Herb Festival, died of cardiac arrest Thursday at Northwest Hospital Center. The longtime Randallstown resident was 85.
Born and raised in Brooklyn, N.Y., Mr. Ponemone served in the Army Air Forces as a navigator on B-17 bombers during World War II. He was shot down over Naples, Italy, captured by Italian soldiers and transferred to the Germans. He was held in prisoner-of-war camps for 21 months, until the end of the war.
He returned to Brooklyn, married Shirley Sparer and, in 1949, earned a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering from Drexel University in Philadelphia.
He worked for defense contractors, including Westinghouse at Linthicum, where he retired about 1983. He was awarded several patents for his work with semiconductors.
A volunteer for 17 years at the annual herb festival held in Leakin Park, he was a former president of the event and at his death was treasurer. His hobbies included gardening, making furniture, photography and astronomy.
Services will be at 4 p.m. today at Sol Levinson & Bros., 8900 Reisterstown Road in Pikesville.
In addition to his wife of 59 years, survivors include three daughters, Susan G. Boyer of Katy, Texas, Cynthia I. Stephens of Reno, Nev., and Sara Horeff of Severna Park; a son, Scott D. Ponemone of Baltimore; and six grandchildren.

Power & Motoryacht's Boat Test of the Azimut Atlantis 50

A short cruise along the Mediterranean coast gave European Editor Alan Harper a taste of all the Azimut Atlantis 50 has to offer—which it turns out is quite a lot.
Here is a yacht that looks like it means business, whether charging over open water at better than 30 knots, or sitting calmly at anchor in some sandy lagoon. Look at her aggressive posture, angular detailing, and streamlined shape—even if you knew little about express cruisers you'd probably guess this one is from Italy. And if the Atlantis brand is unfamiliar to you, look a little more closely: Underneath the badge on the side it also says, in polished stainless steel, "Azimut."
Click here for a photo gallery of the Azimut Atlantis 50 ▶
And she really is. The Azimut Atlantis 50 is built at Azimut's factory in Avigliana, the company's home base, and receives, we are assured, exactly the same level of attention in terms of design, fit-out, and engineering as the parent marque. And that's pretty clear when you step aboard—there are the big, chunky stainless steel handrails, several sizes larger than they really need to be; a signature of Azimut yachts. The saloon cabinetry is beautifully finished and not made of fiberglass, as you might expect, but of old-school, lacquered plywood. There is hidden quality, too, in the hull's vinylester-resin outer skin and its vacuum-infused laminate.
But, of course, the Azimut Atlantis 50 is not precisely an Azimut. She looks different and feels different, with her arrowhead exterior profile and simpler, but still cool and crisp, interior design. This is a boat conceived to compete on a different playing field, and like many recent midrange sport cruisers she comes with a choice of layout options on both decks. Most straightforwardly, you can have her with either two or three cabins: the lower dinette in the standard, two-stateroom version, on the starboard side opposite the galley, can be fitted out, if you prefer, as a small twin-bunk cabin.
Better Boat: Take a Seat
The stern seating area on the Azimut Atlantis 50 (shown above) is a minor masterpiece of design. The unit at the aft end of the cockpit combines a sunbed, sofa, and dinette in one clever package that unfolds and opens up like a 3-D puzzle. But it's not a gimmick. The components are easy to operate and well thought out. The backrest, for example, is shaped like an isosceles triangle, which means it can sit at two angles and two heights. The short version: It works whether you want to sit up or lie down, and its simple frame flips backward or forward depending on which way you want to be facing. Then the forward seat cushion comes off to reveal a table, which raises up on its pedestal, and the side cushions slide out to the correct distance for dining. With two folding chairs—stowed in a locker under the aft cushion, so they're always handy—the table seats six comfortably.
And even with all that, this module doesn't take up a lot of space: There is still plenty of room for two stern walkways, one each side, and a good-sized garage underneath. Bravo!
Two cabins or three, four berths or six—that's a pretty significant choice to make. But it's nothing compared with the main deck, where the yacht is available with an open-backed hardtop—the appropriately-named Open version of the Azimut Atlantis 50—or the Coupé version, with sliding glass doors to create an enclosed deck saloon. Both versions have a garage capable of swallowing an 8-foot tender, and both also benefit from a remarkably intelligent cockpit-seating module (see "Better Boat: Take a Seat," on page 84.)
Ours was the second 50 off the production line, a three-cabin Coupé, finished inside in an attractively stripy walnut veneer with cream-colored carpets and linings. The saloon offers a bright and comfortable environment, with big windows and an impressive sliding sunroof to augment the glass cockpit doors, which open up in three sections to create a doorway nearly 4 feet 6 inches wide. The side windows also have opening panels. The sideboard on the starboard side is designed to accommodate a fridge, ice maker, and pop-up TV, but on our test boat it was, well, just a sideboard.
Down below, the master suite is amidships, under the cockpit, with limited headroom around the perimeter and several changes in floor level to accommodate the significant deadrise (15 degrees at the transom) of the hull. But the berth is full-size—6 feet 4 inches by 5 feet 4 inches—and the cabin also boasts an unusually impressive amount of stowage. Your VIP guests up in the bow should also be pretty happy, with a 6-foot 6-inch berth set at the proper level, and excellent headroom of around 6 feet 6 inches at the foot of the berth. Substantial hull windows both here and in the master let in plenty of daylight, and all cabins have opening portholes for fresh air. The private head in the master suite is on a roomy rectangular plan, while the dual-access compartment on the starboard side hardly feels smaller, and also has a separate shower compartment.
That third cabin is small, but comfortable and practical enough for occasional use, or for kids, thanks to its straightforward layout and generous headroom. The berths are 6 feet 4 inches long, but pretty narrow at just 26 inches and 30 inches wide. And if you were to opt for the dinette instead of the third cabin, the chef will thank you for it: The galley has all the expected levels of equipment, but pretty limited stowage and no useful worktop area. So the table in the dinette could come in pretty handy for food prep.
One area of the boat where there are no choices is the engine room. The twin 600-horsepower, six-cylinder Cummins diesels drive conventional prop shafts through V-drive gearboxes. It's a tight installation thanks to the encroachment of the tender garage, but the engineers have planned it well and access to filters, fuel-water separators, dipsticks, and header tanks is okay. It gets more challenging, though, if you need to service the generator, which is tucked away on the port side, while the batteries and air-conditioning units are buried right aft and are pretty hard to access as well.
I like the IPS drives featured on so many of the 50's European rivals, but I do enjoy a comfortable familiarity with traditional prop shafts. It's an age thing. We tested the yacht at Azimut's facility in Savona, not far west of Genoa, on a typically balmy day with light winds and 1- to 2-foot seas, which offered few challenges. Acceleration was brisk, top speed was more than 32 knots, and the 50's handling was taut and predictable. The turning circle felt pretty tight, with a comfortable angle of heel, while the shafts' grip on the water induced a pleasurable sense of security. Winding on excessive helm soon became counterproductive, shedding speed without significantly increasing the rate of turn, and I soon learned to moderate my control inputs to get the best out of the boat. The engineers said they'd be adjusting the rudder stops to limit their angle to about 20 degrees, which should sort the problem. Once I'd figured it out, the boat gave us a fun ride.
A sports machine, designed to reward her driver with precise control and a mean turn of speed, the Azimut Atlantis 50 is also a luxury yacht, intended to pamper and cosset—which she does. And she's a quality product as well, put together by people who really know what they're doing. But above all, the Atlantis 50 is a yacht that looks like she means business, and she delivers.

Under option (ii), Superintendents have discretion over what they will accept.
Superintendents are required to consider letters, report cards, and transcripts as valid forms of proof of progress. However, the superintendent still has the right to determine if what you have submitted constitutes adequate proof of progress. You may wish to contact experienced local homeschoolers to determine what is commonly accepted in your school division. See Virginia Homeschool Groups for a list of statewide and local homeschool groups.
Option (ii) requires the superintendent to make a determination, based on the evaluation, that the child is achieving an "adequate level of educational growth and progress." While this determination is subjective, most superintendents are fair and reasonable.
How do I choose an evaluator?
There are no "state-approved" evaluators or requirements for evaluators. Any person who has a valid teacher's license from any state or a master's degree or higher in an academic discipline may write a letter of evaluation. However, the superintendent still has the right to determine whether the evaluation letter constitutes adequate proof of progress.
For more information on choosing an evaluator, see Choosing an Evaluator.
Note: The law does not directly address whether parents with valid teacher's licenses or master's degrees can write letters of evaluation for their own child. However, as this option is at the discretion of the superintendent, a parent-evaluated letter may not be deemed acceptable, since schools strongly prefer independent evaluation. VaHomeschoolers recommends considering this when deciding who is to evaluate your child.
What is a typical evaluation like?
Evaluations vary depending on the evaluator. Some include testing, some use portfolios, and others may use a combination. Most include an interview (or conversation) with the student. The evaluator will write a letter attesting to the "educational progress" of your child. Most evaluators are looking for what your child has accomplished rather than what they have not done. They recognize that an education extends beyond the workbooks.
What subjects do I need to cover in my evaluation?
The law does not define what subjects should be covered in the evidence of progress; however, some nationally normed standardized tests cover only math and language arts and as those tests are acceptable under option (i), they may be the only subjects required.
As a result, most school divisions have come to request evidence of progress in only these two subject areas regardless of whether you choose option (i) or (ii). Since subjects are not specified in the law, superintendents could ask for evidence in other subject areas if you choose option (ii).
You may wish to contact experienced local homeschoolers to determine what is commonly accepted in your school division.
There is no minimum or maximum length for a letter of evaluation. Whatever is submitted has to be sufficient for the superintendent to make a judgment. We recommend that the letter of evaluation include a copy of the credentials of the person doing the evaluating, verification that the evaluator has actually met with the child and/or reviewed their work, and information that indicates that the child is achieving an adequate level of educational growth and progress.
You are not required by law to teach to the Virginia Standards of Learning (SOLs), nor are you required to reference the SOLs in an evaluation. Some professional evaluators believe that letters which reference the SOLs are more likely to be accepted by school divisions; other evaluators choose not to mention them in their letters. Before hiring an evaluator, talk to him or her about what role the SOLs play in their assessments and how that might affect your family.
Many option (ii) filers choose to create portfolios of their child's work. In the past, portfolios could be submitted directly to the school division; it is no longer part of the home instruction code. Now, parents can share the portfolios with an independent evaluator as part of the evaluation process.
What should I include in a portfolio?
Portfolios can be very simple or as elaborate as you choose. It does not have to be a daily record. It should include examples from the beginning, middle, and end of the year.
Make copies of everything and keep the originals.
It is easiest to create a portfolio if organized at least monthly but as long as you have samples from throughout the year it can be done all at once.

Apex Legends is the Titanfall project they were working on, but it's not the direct sequel we've heard rumours of before.
Considering the quality of Titanfall 2, a lot of people thought that Respawn Entertainment had been quietly working on Titanfall 3, but it seems that isn't the case. What could've been Titanfall 3 has instead turned into Apex Legends, a game that has only just been revealed and launched as a free-to-play battle royale title.
"There are some people who think there are too many battle royale games or it's a fad, the world thinks we're making Titanfall 3 and we're not - this is what we're making."
"To try and convince a sceptical audience for months with trailers and hands-on articles, we're just like 'let the game speak for itself' - it's the most powerful antidote to potential problems."
Even when Apex Legends was rumoured this past weekend, outlets like Kotaku still believed that this would come as well as, not instead of, Titanfall 3. Respawn has made it very clear now though, and we won't be seeing a third mainline Titanfall game... at least for now.
Are you okay with Apex Legends taking its place?

Filming in Preuilly
As we left for Paris last month we noticed big coaches and pantechnicons parked outside the médiatheque and across the road at the cemetery in Preuilly. Clearly some filming was in progress. We snapped some photos as we drove by, but it was only on reading the newspaper that we found out what it was all about.
To quote (in translation) the article:
On 3 February an unusual buzz animated the town of Preuilly. Some big trucks were parked opposite the mediatheque. The reason for these strange sights? Sylvain Desclous was shooting a scene from his film Vendeur ('Salesman').
This screenwriter has already made 6 short films. Vendeur is his first feature film. The theme of the film showcases salesmanship as a trade but it is mainly a pretext for the evocation of the father-son relationship, of affection and conflict, separation and reunion.
The film was shot in Marseille, Paris and several municipalities in the northern Touraine, but Sylvain Desclous was particularly keen to shoot some of the important scenes in Preuilly-sur-Claise. As a child he spent his summer holidays in the village, at his grandparent's place in the Faubourg Saint Nicolas, and where some of the family still reside.
Preuilly contributed to the logistics. A dozen locals were recruited from the local populace. They were able to share for an afternoon the cinematic artistic sentiments.
This film is supported by the Centre Region through the Ciclic Agency. The main roles are played by Gilbert Melki, Pio Marmai and Sara Giraudeau. Romain Bouteille is involved in the distribution.

Exciting!
Plenty of films and tv series have been made around my home patch in Derbyshire. I was a working in the hotel where the cast of "women in love" were staying in the 1960's. I worked as a chambermaid but my only contact was clearing up the rooms and making the beds! As I only worked weekends and school holidays the senior chambermaids were queuing up take the morning teas and breakfast trays up to the actors' rooms! Normally they were quite happy for us schoolgirls and temps to do the early starts but they all wanted a glimpse of Alan Bates in bed !
Susan 2 March 2015 at 09:57
I bet he wasn't silly enough to allow himself to be glimpsed in bed.
In these days of paparazzi, smart phones and instant media, most certainly not!
I suspect the trays were handed over to staff who passed them on, but everyone was very excited about the whole thing. It was a magical time.
You giddy young thing you :-)
Loire Daily Photo 3 March 2015 at 09:30
What luck you saw it before you left! Lots of films are shot around the Palais Royal of course, but they always seemed remote. The one in Preuilly is much closer to home for you, isn't it?
We'll have to be sure to watch the film when it comes out now.
It may be spring...

Liverpool 2, Middlesbrough 2 (14-13 pens): Liverpool Win in Marathon Penalty Shooutout
One of the most ridiculous penalty shootouts you'll see ends 14-13, with Liverpool defeating Middlesbrough to advance to the fourth round of the League Cup.
By -Ed- Sep 24, 2014, 1:00am BST
Share All sharing options for: Liverpool 2, Middlesbrough 2 (14-13 pens): Liverpool Win in Marathon Penalty Shooutout
Alex Livesey
Liverpool 2 (14): Rossiter 10', Suso 108'
Middlesbrough 2 (13): Reach 62', Bamford (pen.) 120+2'
The biggest news of the evening came in the form of a start for Jordan Rossiter, who is the latest Scouse academy product to make his first senior squad start. Suppose Rickie Lambert falls in that category too, and the striker served as captain on a night that saw Steven Gerrard finally rested. Raheem Sterling, Adam Lallana, and Lazar Markovic rounded out the attacking contingent in support of Lambert, while Rossiter and Lucas started deeper in midfield with Javier Manquillo, Kolo Toure, Mamadou Sakho, and Jose Enrique at the back and Simon Mignolet in goal.
It was a side full of new faces, and in the tenth minute it was Rossiter who gave Liverpool the lead in the tenth minute after some terrible Middlesbrough defending. The ball bounced out to the 17-year-old some 30 yards out, and he hit a low drive through two defenders and Boro goalkeeper Jamal Blackman for the 1-0 lead. There was a good bit of pressing and possession from the hosts after the opener, and it looked only a matter of time before Liverpool would add to their lead.
But they were pushed further and further from the Middlesborough goal, and despite excellent play from Lallana and Sterling, they couldn't test Blackman again. Their failure to add to the lead left the door open for Boro, who managed an equalizer just after the hour. A handball on Sakho left the visitors with a free-kick on the edge of the area on the far side, and Grant Leadbitter's delivery was inch-perfect, allowing Adam Reach to beat Enrique to the ball and head past Mignolet.
Boro nearly stole the win later in the half, first with an Adam Clayton drive from distance requiring a last-ditch Toure tackle, and next when Clayton found himself one-on-one with Mignolet only to hit the outside of the post. Liverpool's next chances wouldn't come until extra time, when Jose Enrique forced Blackman into a good save. They got what looked like a winner early in the second half of extra time through Suso, who'd come on in place of Lazar Markovic. It wasn't to be, however, as a horrendous Raheem Sterling back-pass sprung a Boro break and Kolo Toure clattered over Patrick Bamford, who converted from the spot to send the match to penalties.
Penalties took nearly as long as the actual match, with only one miss apiece through the first ten takers, and Simon Mignolet scoring on the 11th time of asking to beat Jamal Blackman, who stepped up to convert one of his own. In the second round, Kenneth Adomah missed wide to give Liverpool a 14-13 win. 14-13.
There's no massive reflection here--a match that wasn't very enjoyable to watch, with more of the same in terms of the lack of cohesion and defensive woes. There were excellent individual performances, most notably Adam Lallana, and some not great ones, and to top it off we witnessed the silliest penalty shootout in recent memory. Onto the derby on Saturday, likely without Raheem Sterling (who played the entire match here, along with Lallana, Lucas, and the entire back line) in a starting role, and hopefully better days.

I bet you couldn't have guessed we'd be featuring more pinstripe pieces this season. Or ruffles. Definitely not pinstripes annnnd ruffles. (Insert all the eyeroll emojis here.) These were both on our list of favorite trends for the Spring and Summer, and our love for either is sure not dwindling. Sorry #CantStopWontStop.
When I saw this ruffle shoulder stripe top (for less than $20!), I knew I had to make it mine. Bold vertical stripes are so sophisticated and classic while the cut of the ruffled shoulders give it a fun and edgy flair. It's just fitted enough and the material is so flowy and comfortable. It's going to be a staple of my summer wardrobe for sure.
Hot pink accents, some dreamy blush slides, and a simple denim skirt makes for an everyday look that's casual enough for running errands and dressy for an evening out.
What styles can you just not get enough of this summer?
such a lovely top, great outfit dear.


Dubai might be firstly known for its glitz and glamour, but forget about it. You make Dubai the way you want it to be and it can be quite fun if you make it an adventurous journey! One thing you can do in Dubai is water sports, a lot of them!
I went with a friend to try out kite surfing for the first time with a talented kitesurfer from Kite Zone Dubai to try to stand in a 2 hour express session. Normal process to learn how to kite surf would take many classes, a minimum of 6 we were told. Private lessons and group lessons are available and with the quality equipment they provide, you should be able to learn quite fast if you like it and want to pursue on practicing the sport!
Getting the kite ready to go up!
Phase two, gliding in the water!
Annnnnnd that didn't last too long!
Not too bad for an express session, although we recommend to take the full classes to learn how to kite properly!
Have you ever visited tried kite surfing?
What are the other water sports you would love to try?


What happens if you make a serious error?
I dispensed insulin (the wrong one to that on the script), and it wasn't checked by the pharmacist for some reason and was just given out. What happens in these situations, because since working in this VERY busy pharmacy many mistakes have happened (not by myself, this was the first) and it always seems that the dispenser or tech is blamed while the pharmacist gets off. I feel I'm going to get the main blame for this, even though it wasn't doubled checked.
Note: patient realised the error and brought the meds back without using it.
Insulins are a high risk medicine, particularly because there are so many types in terms of how they act (rapid, e.g. Novorapid, short, e.g. Actrapid, intermediate, e.g. Humulin I, long, e.g. Lantus glargine, and bi-phasic, e.g. Novomix) , but also in terms of the devices, (cartridges, vials, pens). To make things even more complicated, there are insulins that are of a higher strength - the standard used to be 100 units/ml but now you can get insulins that are 200 units/ml, and even 500 units/ml for patients who require large amounts of insulin. As a result, when dispensing insulins, it is very important to be certain that you are dispensing the correct one. In our hospital all insulin prescriptions are checked twice independently after dispensing - either two pharmacists, two technicians, or a technician and a pharmacist.
With regards to your specific query, it is not your fault alone because it was not checked before handing out to the patient, which is not great really. However it might be worth doing some CPD on insulins and the importance of dispensing the correct one.
It shouldn't be a blame game, each error should be a learning experience.
In reality the pharmacist is always ultimately responsible for any error that goes out but the easiest learnings and changes after an error will be in the dispensing process and not the checking process.
Most pharmacies have in their SOP's that a double check should be completed at handout by the counter assistant with the patient so there's a learning opportunity for all involved by the sounds of things.
All you can do at this point is be thankful no harm came of it and learn from it.
Simple solution is to get the insulin checked by a colleague or pharmacist against the actual prescription before it is labelled and before it gets put in any basket.
Another tip is to read the name backwards again once you have picked from the fridge (not the letters of the words but the description phrases). This stops the brain from seeing patterns and makes it focus on making sense of information.

If you want to see how the insulins compare there are some really good charts available.
Another safety net is to show the insulin(s) to the patient for confirmation when the prescription is handed out.
What do you mean it was not checked? So pharmacist did not check it at all or did they check it but just not see the error?
If you gave out anything without it being checked then technically you're breaking law and it's your fault. Obviously if the pharmacist forgot to check and they bagged it up anyway and you had no way of knowing it was not checked, then it is the pharmacist's fault.
Pharmacists must ensure to check all medicines, dispensers/technicians would not know different between insulins etc so pharmacist must always check.
You should have an error log in your pharmacy and log all these errors in.


We all want to 'Look Good' on the beach, chilling by the pool and on the dance floor!
The summer holiday season is here, as we write our list of "makeup to buy for holiday", looking glam on the beach or by the pool has never been so high on the list.
Whilst wearing accessories and jewellery might feel a little over the top for most of us, we still want to look our best in the heat…especially those of us that are single and hoping to find love on a Greek island! Or have we been watching too many movies!? Wearing makeup that stays put has never been more possible than it is now, whether you chose to go very natural or glam it up whilst sunbathing in Spain, sightseeing in Rome or being wined and dined in Capri.
New for the summer season is 'L'Oreal Colour Infallible.' With 11 shades to choose from and lasting power of 24 hours it is a must for holidays as it claims to be crease and waterproof.
Bobbi Brown's 'Longwear Cream Shadows' also come out top and won't crease or smudge all day and have some great shades to choose from. Also essential packing is the 'Bobbi Brown Longwear Eye Gel' to create a subtle flick for day or for a dramatic look for those hot nights on the dance floor!
'Max Factors Lipfinity' lipsticks stay put for hours and is great for the holidays as it comes with a lip balm to keep your lips looking soft and conditioned.
'Mac Blot Powder' is fantastic for diminishing shine without leaving a powder residue…. another must for the beach or clutch bag.
One last tip is to keep a small can of 'Evian' water in your bag and sprits your face occasionally, which not only will cool you down but will keep your makeup put.
All that said have a great holiday knowing you will look and feel good all day long and well into the night!

The Norfolk Blues are a Mid-Atlantic Rugby Football Union Division I/Championship Division Club in Norfolk, Virginia. Founded in the Spring of 1978 as a result of a merger between the Norfolk Rugby and Norfolk Irish Rugby Clubs. Through the Spring of 2010, the Blues have accumulated a first side 15's record of 509-190-14. Their home playing fields are Lafayette Park in Norfolk and the Virginia Beach Sportsplex in Virginia Beach.

The team symbol is the Norfolk Mace, a large, ornamental (pure silver) mace that was crafted by London silversmith Fuller White and was presented to the 'Borough of Norfolk' in 1754 by the acting Royal Governor of Virginia, Robert Dinwiddie (1693–1770) and is still used today for public ceremonies. The Blues team colors are Blue and Gold; the colors of the City of Norfolk.

The Norfolk Blues are named after the Norfolk Light Artillery Blues.  Originally formed in 1829 as a state militia company and prestigious social club. The Blues served through the entire war and were one of the few military units that actually increased in size, during the conflict. The Blues took an oath to "never surrender" and did not lose a single man to desertion throughout the course of the American Civil War. The NLAB's were merged with the "First Company Richmond Howitzers" (organized on 9 November 1859) and the Portsmouth Light Artillery [organized on 15 February 1809] to become the modern day 1st Battalion, 111th Field Artillery of the Virginia National Guard.

The Norfolk Blues are a member club of the Virginia Rugby Union, the Mid-Atlantic Rugby Football Union, and the USA Rugby Football Union.
