Man shoots cousin over salt and vinegar potato chips, police say
Shelby Lin Erdman, Cox Media Group National Content Desk
COLLETON COUNTY, S.C. —
A South Carolina man was arrested and charged with attempted murder after shooting his cousin over a bag of salt and vinegar potato chips, according to news reports.
Authorities in Colleton County took Ryan Dean Langdale, 19, into custody Wednesday after learning the details about the shooting of his 17-year-old cousin on Sept. 29, The Post and Courier reported.
The shooting happened in Ruffin about 60 miles west of Charleston.
Langdale first told investigators that the victim accidentally shot himself when he dropped a hunting rifle, according to the newspaper.
A mug shot if Ryan Langdale.
But after undergoing surgery for the gunshot wound, the victim admitted to authorities that Langdale shot him over a bag of chips.
"Do not touch my chips, or I'll shoot you," Langdale told his cousin, the Post reported, citing a sheriff's incident report.
Langdale then grabbed a rifle, pointed it at the victim and "the rifle went off," the report said.
Langdale was arrested and held on a $55,000 bail, according to the Post.

The ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Android samples are tools for developers to understand and implement the fundamentals of the ArcGIS Android API and its coding practices.
This document describes how to access the samples and how to import them into your development environment and run them.
The ArcGIS Android SDK samples are now hosted on GitHub!
GitHub is a web based hosting service for software development projects that uses an open source revision control system called Git. See Git Basics for an introduction to Git and how it compares with other version control systems. Visit GitHub to learn how to interact with Git repositories with GitHub and to sign up for a free account.
If you don't already have an account, Sign up for GitHub!
Follow the instructions in the repo's README file to work with the sample projects in Android Studio.
If you cannot access the samples on GitHub, the samples provided in the local SDK download have an archive with samples available at the time of the release. These can be found in the /samples folder. They are an archive snapshot of the GitHub repository available at the time of the release. To use these samples you will need to download them and then Importing-samples-from-disk.
A snapshot of the samples are provided with the SDK download in the /samples folder. Open this archive to a directory on disk. Use that directory as the root for your Android Studio project.
Select File > Import Project, or Import Non-Android Studio project from the Welcome Quick Start.
Gradle will do an initial build and download any dependencies not in your maven local cache. Once compete you are ready to [Run the samples](#Running samples).

A colourful and cartoony offering from Brough Park (Leek, Staffordshire, ST13).
Playing Ingress has led me to discover quite a few nice pieces of street art, but sadly it doesn't always work out well. I was intrigued by this portal when I visited Leek (Staffordshire) in September but didn't get a chance to go and investigate.
I mean it looked great.
My partner, Matt, was in Leek more recently and had time to go and take a closer look. Alas, Hong Kong Phooey has been replaced by something rather disappointing.
I've just got back from a two week holiday to the north of the UK, and it didn't go quite as smoothly as planned…however here's my travel journal for the trip, enjoy!


This resolutely interactive museum keeps its focus on the act of communication rather than the means. Exhibits examine body language across cultures, the views of Switzerland's minority populations, the history of the Swiss postal service, and the evolution of telecommunication through to the Internet.

Good Energy, Utilita and Scottish Power 'falling short' on voucher support
Josie Clarke, PA Consumer Affairs Correspondent
23 January 2023, 11:27 am ·5-min read
The Government has called on Good Energy, Utilita and Scottish Power to help their prepayment customers claim £400 in support vouchers after naming them as falling short on sending the help out.
Around 30% of vouchers have not yet been redeemed by prepayment customers, despite freezing temperatures in recent weeks, Government figures published on Monday show.
E Gas and Electricity is among the best at delivering the Energy Bills Support Scheme (EBSS) with an 85% redemption rate, while Bulb is second on 79%.
Those with the fewest redemptions include Good Energy, Utilita and Scottish Power, with the Government calling on them and others to make sure they are doing all they can to ensure customers with prepayment meters know what to look for and how to redeem the vouchers.
Some £5.7 billion has been provided to 99% of households in Great Britain through the scheme, with 71% of prepayment vouchers redeemed so far, according to the figures.
Customers receive the discount in the same way they pay their energy bills, such as by direct debit, credit, smart meters and prepayment meters.
Most people receive the support automatically, but those on prepayment meters are sent monthly vouchers by their supplier by text, email or post.
Suppliers are expected to tell customers where to redeem vouchers – at a Post Office branch or a PayPoint shop – and must make several attempts to contact customers who have not redeemed their vouchers.
Business and Energy Secretary Grant Shapps said: "The public have a right to know which suppliers are leading the charge with getting this help to them, and that's why I'm holding energy companies to account to make sure they are doing everything they can to support their customers at this time.
"We're ramping up efforts so consumers know exactly what they need to do to redeem these vouchers, but we need suppliers to do much more and I want to see these numbers rise."
Which? director of policy and advocacy Rocio Concha said: "It is very concerning that around 30% of vouchers still haven't been redeemed – even with freezing temperatures last month – and that suppliers including EDF, Scottish Power, Energy Plus Supply Limited, Good Energy and Utilita are falling short in making sure this support reaches their customers.
"As an urgent priority, the Government and energy suppliers must work together to share best practice and quickly improve the scheme to ensure that all customers on these prepayment meters – who are more likely to be vulnerable and on lower incomes – are able to access this vital support without further delay.
"Traditional prepayment meter customers should also be prioritised in smart meter rollouts where appropriate, so that financial support can be delivered automatically in future.
"If you are on a traditional prepayment meter and haven't received your vouchers or are unsure of how to redeem them, you should get in touch with your supplier for more information and to make sure they have the correct contact details."
Good Energy chief executive Nigel Pocklington said: "As a supplier with a relatively tiny proportion of prepayment customers, we have been able to go above and beyond in encouraging EBSS voucher redemption.
"We do not install traditional prepayment meters because they are not effective for supporting customers.
"For the around 350 legacy traditional prepayment customers we do have, we have sent multiple email and letter reminders as well as made individual calls.
"Our own up to date figures show our customers' redemption rates are around 70% — in line with the Government's average.
"We will continue doing everything we can to make sure customers don't miss out on this vital support.
"We would like to see the Government doing the same, rather than lashing out at suppliers for the shortcomings of their own scheme."
A Scottish Power spokeswoman said: "Our investigation of unclaimed credits identified vacant properties as one of the main reasons for money going unclaimed and we are updating our system to reflect these accounts. When this is factored into our reporting our redemption rate is 74%."
Utilita said: "We have a small number of customers with traditional pay as you go (PAYG) meters. Some have yet to redeem their EBSS vouchers – we estimate the figure is less than 2% of the national total – despite our best endeavours.
"The real problem here is one of old-fashioned traditional PAYG compared to Smart PAYG+ of which we have 665,000 households – 95% of our PAYG customers – with 1.3 million smart gas electricity meters. Here, we have successfully applied EBSS payments directly on to the meter on more than 2.6 million occasions, with 99.999% success."
Energy UK chief executive Emma Pinchbeck said: "Customers with traditional prepayment meters are advised to ensure their contact details are up to date and to check regularly for any communication from their supplier.
"Anyone worried about missing their vouchers or struggling to pay their bills should get in touch with their energy supplier.
"The Government knows from the billions of pounds of benefits that go unclaimed every year that it can unfortunately be hard to get assistance to those who need it most, but we remain fully committed to ensuring vouchers are delivered and redeemed and to make the support schemes work as successfully as possible."
The figures follow Mr Shapps' demand over the weekend that energy suppliers stop forcing financially stretched households to switch to prepayment meters.
He also vowed to "name and shame" the worst offenders.

Q: Git deleting files from remote I have a website. Users can add a picture their profile. So, my website keeping these files in a folder. But, my local git clone only has this image folder without images inside.
When I use "git push" command, it's working great but deleting all images added by users.. How can I solve this problem? [Or, how can I add images (added by users) to git tracking?]
(I'm using openShift)

A: You need to use the OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR to save persistent files.  Use a symlink in link it to one of your folders in the repo.
Edit
post_deploy example
#!/bin/bash
echo ".................Starting 'post_deploy' Action Hook..................................."
echo ".................attempting 'uploads' setting up symlink........................"
echo "................................................................................"
cd $OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR/<path to static folder>
ln -s $OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR/uploads uploads
echo ".................creating 'uploads' completed........................"
echo "................................................................................"

A: You can either skip that folder when you run git add command or the better add it to .gitignore file like this:
your_folder/*

A: Git works on files, not on folders. And if a folder does not contain any files, git assumes the folder itself should not be present either.
The most commonly used solution is an empty file .gitkeep in the folder that needs to remain. Then, in .gitignore, you add the following:
images_folder/*
!images_folder/.gitkeep

This tells git to ignore all files in the images folder, except for the one file named .gitkeep. (So that file must be committed too.) Then there's no reason for git to remove the folder, so your images will remain.

What's Amiss with US-Israel Relations? Low Mark for Sharon
Aug 18, 2002 @ 18:31 8736 Views Israel, US-Israel
When in the past Israel was beset with extreme economic distress, its finance ministers were to be found in Washington, lobbying hard for help – even in the form of symbolic investment for boosting the country's financial credibility and morale. Yet finance minister Sylvan Shalom has given up transatlantic travel, even though the Sharon government enjoys exceptionally cooperative relations with the Bush administration.
debkafile's Washington sources reveal a different facet of that relationship.
Two weeks ago, the Israeli prime minister's chef to de bureau, Dov Weissglass, visited Washington with a surprising message. He urged the importance of including two Palestinian Authority officials, Mohamed Rashid and Mohamed Dahlan, both close to Yasser Arafat and high up in his terror machine, in the process of reforming the Palestinian administration. This request went down badly with leading US officials. When the Bush administration adopted Sharon's demand for a thorough overhaul of the Palestinian administration to purge it of terrorists and corruption, it meant exactly that. No half-measures. Arafat's men must be pushed out, and reformers brought in. Certainly they wanted no truck with Arafat's personal financial adviser and former Gaza Strip terror chief.
Nonetheless, Weissglass insisted – and ran into a blank wall.
The Americans understand the game played by Israeli Labor ministers, Binyamin Bin Eliezer and Shimon Peres – a last-ditch attempt to rescue and re-empower Yasser Arafat's regime. Behind them is a faction of wealthy businessmen, bankers and politicians with vested interests in preserving that regime who are now also backing Haifa Mayor Gen (ret.) Amram Mitzna in his race against Ben Eliezer for the Labor leadership.
This faction stigmatized Sharon to the point of casting him out into the political wilderness for over a decade. Even after most of the electorate voted him into office and rejected Oslo, the Israeli prime minister keeps a wary eye on its activities. A week after declaring that he would rather face an early election next January than reverse belt-tightening budget cutbacks, Sharon turned around; he sat down with Labor leader Ben Eliezer to discuss budget "adjustments" that will ensure Labor votes in November. Both agreed that a January election is not a good idea. Sharon even gave the nod to the defense minister's "Gaza First" initiative for handing sole responsibility for security in Gaza to the Palestinian authority as a test. He did not demur when Ben Eliezer took his initiative further, adding the West Bank towns of Bethlehem and Hebron to the experiment, in deference to the Palestinians' bargaining skills. Brandishing another red flag in Washington's face the Israeli defense minister agreed to negotiate with Dahlan, as well as the reformist interior minister Abdel Razzek Yahya.
At the same time there is no progress in another of Ben Eliezer's projects to which Sharon has given the nod: a security fence supposed to protect Israel from West Bank Palestinian terrorist intrusions. This is not surprising. Cash is scarce because Washington is holding back.
In the early 1990s, George Bush Senior starved Israel of funds for as long as the hard line Yitzhak Shamir headed a Likud government, only releasing a promised $10 bn guarantee when the late Yitzhak Rabin succeeded as Labor prime minister. Rabin then gave a group of dovish businessmen heading the faction that is rearing its ahead again now a lead-role in providing the 1993 Oslo framework with financial substance. It was the first President Bush who forged the powerful linkage between Middle East politics and the Israeli business community. President Clinton deepened that link.
The second Bush continues the linkage, but in reverse. The Oslo faction will not be allowed to defeat his strategic plans for the Middle East or reverse his project for obliterating "evil' regimes, whether Saddam Hussein's in Baghdad or Yasser Arafat's in Ramallah. So determined is the Bush White House on this score that even in the thick of preparations for a major assault on Baghdad, Washington finds time to promote reforms designed to break up Arafat's stranglehold and at the same time burn the ground from under the feet of his Israeli financial partners.
To this end, the US government is slowly switching off the flow of supplementary dollars to Israel and will continue to do so until it is convinced that Ariel Sharon has stopped flirting with the Oslo faction and that candidates for prime minister of Mitzna's ilk disappear.

Redding's State of the City: 'It's a pretty big stage' where mayors speak their minds
Redding's mayor apologized to Native Americans for past atrocities. Should she have informed the city council before her State of the City talk?
Redding's State of the City: 'It's a pretty big stage' where mayors speak their minds Redding's mayor apologized to Native Americans for past atrocities. Should she have informed the city council before her State of the City talk? Check out this story on redding.com: https://www.redding.com/story/news/2019/09/28/redding-california-mayor-julie-winter-speech-native-americans/3775518002/
Michele Chandler, Redding Record Searchlight Published 7:00 a.m. PT Sept. 28, 2019 | Updated 10:45 a.m. PT Sept. 29, 2019
Redding Mayor Julie Winter used the bully pulpit of the 32nd annual State of the City address to issue an apology this week to Native Americans for the many atrocities perpetrated on their ancestors in the North State.
The approximately 10-minute closing segment of the larger program was delivered before about 850 of the city's movers and shakers, who also heard details of the city's advances during the past year.
As she spoke her apology, Winter was accompanied on the Redding Civic Auditorium stage by Redding Rancheria Tribal Chairman Jack Potter; Tribal Chairman of the Wintu Tribe of Northern California Gary Rickard; and Winnemem Wintu Tribal Chieftain and spiritual leader Caleen Sisk.

Said Sisk: "This is the first time that any mayor has acknowledged indigenous people here."
Winter said afterwards that the apology was her own and she hadn't clued in any members of the Redding City Council that her apology was part of the program.
Was she obligated to tell them?
Nope, according to several former Redding mayors who also used the State of the City as a platform to speak on issues they personally deemed to be important.
The topic of Redding's State of the City address is each mayor's prerogative.
Mayors "can say whatever they want" and aren't expected to run their speech topics by council members for prior approval, said Ken Murray, who served as Redding's mayor twice.
Murray said he hadn't alerted the council that his own State of the City speech would include members of bands from Enterprise, Foothill and Shasta high schools playing their instruments and marching down the aisles to join him on the auditorium stage. After that, he said he called on every student who held elected office at their school to also come up.
"They marched right down the aisle from both sides. They were coming in all over the place," recalled Murray, a Realtor. "My speech was about basically this is the future and we need to make a concentrated effort to engage our young people."

"I didn't want to be boring," he said of his approach. "I had to talk to the city manager about what I was going to do, but I didn't (have to) get his permission."
Of course, anything mayors say might reverberate later, Murray added. "You take the job, you make a decision and you deal with whatever happens as a result."
Redding Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Jake Mangas said he'd known that Winter had an apology planned, as the chamber helps sponsor the State of the City luncheon.

Before the event, Mangas said he reminded Winter that the council's recent unanimous decision to oppose the Rancheria tribe's proposed expansion of its Win-River Casino and Resort "may take away from people's perception of the authenticity of what you're attempting to do. When you step out and you do something like this, you're not going to make everybody happy."
However, Mangas said, the casino issue and her apology are "two different topics. I know she's been working with local Native Americans on this for months and wanting to do this in the most honorable way. So, I respected the fact that she reached out to those groups for doing this."

Another former mayor, Francie Sullivan, said each mayor gets to set the theme of the annual State of the City address. The time she spoke, Sullivan's goal was to spotlight the contributions of city employees, who were being criticized for their compensation rates and underfunded pension plans.
During the time she served on the City Council and was not the mayor, Sullivan said, "I don't know that I even knew what the theme would be" for the mayor's State of the City talk.
"Usually something was unveiled there," Sullivan said of the luncheon. "You're not speaking on the behalf of the City Council (or) giving opinions about the council," she said.

Redding's most recent former mayor, Kristen Schreder, is now a member of the current City Council. During her State of the City speech last year, she also expanded the discussion beyond law enforcement, government spending and commercial development.
In addition to strategies to build up Redding, Schreder also gave insight about how adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) impact young people in the community.
"I chose to talk about ACEs and the need to build resiliency in our youth," said Schreder. "We don't vet it all out before the rest of the council before we do the speech. When I picked my topic, no one knew what I was going to do. It's kind of nice. It's a pretty big stage and you have that opportunity to impart some of your thoughts."

While City Council members weren't apprised that Winter would give an apology, Redding city staff knew it would be happening, said Janell Galbraith, management assistant to the city manager. She is responsible for coordinating the entire event.
While those duties include helping the mayor write their State of the City address, "It is really the mayor's speech," Galbraith said. "The direction of the speech each year really falls back on the mayor."

Message from the NASA Administrator: Preparing Our Workforce for the Future
Status Report From: NASA HQ
Posted: Friday, April 26, 2013
At NASA, we are dedicated to innovation, bold ideas, and excellence. These values are just as important in day-to-day operations as they are in launching rockets and building spacecraft. We have achieved so much in the past few years, and that would not have been possible without your hard work, creativity and expertise. You are essential to NASA, and I am proud of all that you do.
Instead of resting on past achievements, NASA has always been about reaching for the future. As I look ahead, I see a NASA that is a model organization operating even more effectively than today - a seamless organization that applies resources and talents across our agency as needed. I see an agency that is not constrained by stovepipes or traditional boundaries. Agility and versatility are encouraged, and being good stewards of taxpayer dollars while using the best tools to accomplish our bold mission is a part of everything we do.
We must work together to make this vision a reality - no subset of us can do this alone. All agency leaders, program and project managers, center line managers, and employees have a role in building upon our existing strengths and removing barriers. We have been moving in this direction for some time now, and while budget realities may push us to find more creative solutions faster, a more flexible, engaged workplace has always been my goal.
I have asked my senior management team and several others in the agency to identify barriers to innovation and collaboration, and come up with specific action plans to remove those barriers as much as possible. One of the items that constantly appears on everyone's list is allowing for more workforce flexibility to better prepare our teams for their future missions. One way to do this is for programs and centers to operate flexibly in the year of execution by assigning work in ways that align with and develop new skills and capabilities of our employees.
To this end, I want line management and project management to share in developing and preparing our workforce for the future. Line managers will look for development opportunities for their teams, and project managers will allow the flexibility within their existing charge codes for these opportunities, as long as mission work is successfully being accomplished. Consistent with this approach, project managers will support and fund innovative efforts related directly to projects or to the overall mission and future programs.
I believe providing this greater workforce flexibility will make the workforce stronger and more prepared for the future missions while still accomplishing the great work we do today. I encourage each of you to be open to non-traditional assignments as a way to expand on your skill sets. Managers should be versatile and open to innovative and different ways of doing business, even if it challenges your own norms. We don't do change for the sake of change. We do what makes us stronger and smarter and accomplishes the mission.
You are the best workforce in the government, and the work you do is important. With a stronger commitment to innovation and greater workforce flexibility, I am confident our best days lie ahead.
Together, we can master this challenge in our workplaces. Thank you for doing your part in whatever role you play.

Prisoners in Paradise är en låt av hårdrocksgruppen Europe skriven av Joey Tempest, som är tagen ur albumet Prisoners in Paradise 1991. Titeln kommer från bandmedlemmarnas tid i Västindien då de inte kunde lämna paradiset för att komma hem till Sverige på grund av skatteskäl.

En musikvideo spelades in i Frankrike, Paris i augusti 1991. Nick Morris regisserade åter igen.

Prisoners in Paradise blev en radiohit i Sverige och ses som en av de mest kända låtarna från gruppen.

Hubert Szymczyński (ur. 18 maja 1948 w Poznaniu, zm. 3 stycznia 2021 w Växjö) – polski wokalista, kompozytor i multiinstrumentalista.

Życiorys
Był absolwentem Wyższej Szkoły Muzycznej w klasie puzonu. Karierę rozpoczynał w 1967 roku jako puzonista w zespole jazzu tradycyjnego Bardowie. Później krótko współpracował z zespołem Tarpany, by następnie od stycznia do maja 1968 pracować w triu Hubertusy. Tam poznał wybitnego showmana, pianistę i wokalistę Wojciecha Skowrońskiego. Następnie podjął współpracę z Drumlersami, z którymi śpiewała m.in. Sonia Sulim, czyli Halina Frąckowiak, a na klawiszach grał Andrzej Mikołajczak. Od września do grudnia tego samego roku wraz ze Skowrońskim i Mikołajczakiem pojawił się w grupach Nowi Polanie i ABC (kierownictwo Andrzej Nebeski). Wtedy powstały pierwsze przeboje jego autorstwa tj. śpiewane przez Skowrońskiego 101–203, czy Ze mną bądź w wykonaniu własnym.

Po odejściu od Grupy ABC Szymczyński wrócił na studia. W grudniu 1969 roku założył zespół Tramp (pierwotna nazwa "Omen"), w którym pierwsze kroki stawiała piosenkarka Zdzisława Sośnicka. Grupa zadebiutowała w programie TVP Biała dama, a w styczniu 1970 roku wystąpiła w "Telewizyjnej Giełdzie Piosenki".

Latem 1971 r. wszedł w skład zespołu Warta Quintet, grając tam na puzonie, gitarze basowej i śpiewając. Z formacją tą nagrał swoją pierwszą autorską płytę. Następnie z J. Kosmowskim (gitara basowa) grał w różnych trzyosobowych składach, tworzonych z często zmieniającymi się perkusistami, a byli to: Janusz Domański, Jerzy Bezucha i Eryk Kulm. Z początkiem 1973 roku muzyk reaktywuje grupę Tramp, w której znalazł się m.in. Tomasz Rostkowski (gitara basowa, gitara, flet) znany ze współpracy z zespołami 2 plus 1, Trubadurzy i Bractwo Kurkowe 1791. Później przez zespół przewinęli się muzycy przyszłego Ergo Bandu: Jerzy Kurek (gitara), czy Andrzej Tylec (perkusja). W swoim dorobku Tramp ma wiele nagrań radiowych i dużo zagranych koncertów, m.in. z 2 plus 1.

Do 1976 roku Szymczyński kierował również zespołem Ireny Jarockiej, w którym pojawiło się kilka sław polskiego jazzu i jego okolic (Podgórski, Gonciarczyk, Kaczmarski, Gogosz). Następnie muzyk związał się z funkowo-soulowym zespołem Ergo Band pod kier. Kazimierza Plewińskiego, znanego m.in. z wcześniejszej współpracy z zespołem Skowrońskiego Blues Trio.

W latach 1977–1981 był kierownikiem muzycznym poznańskiego Kabaretu TEY. Skomponował wtedy m.in. piosenkę Smutasy, mazgaje, którą wykonał Bohdan Smoleń), a także wiele innych. Podczas "IV Międzynarodowej Wiosny Estradowej" (5–6 maja 1979) pianista wystąpił z własnym Hubert Bandem, w większości złożonym z muzyków kabaretu TEY. Zespół pozostawił po sobie nagrania radiowe.

W 1982 roku muzyk wyemigrował do Szwecji, gdzie stał się cenionym muzykiem, kompozytorem, pedagogiem i producentem, a ponadto właścicielem własnej firmy nagraniowej Chamber Sound.

W 2012 roku stowarzyszenie jazzowe miasta Växjö przyznało mu nagrodę "JazzOscar".

Zmarł 3 stycznia 2021 roku.

Active Networks
byTheresa Carey Aug 12, 2015
Editor Rating: Good (3.5)
Designed with activity management in mind with a variety of implementation strategies.
No trial period. Only one user at a time can work on the site pages.
Active Network is a flexible membership management platform delivered at a solid price. While it's a little short on financial features, it stands out in terms of social media and marketing communications.
Active Network publishes nine flavors of sports and activity-related software membership management services. These all have the ability to manage members participating in a variety of activities and their associated facilities. We looked at the camp management software for this review, but the underlying database is designed to serve race organizers, recreation facilities, outdoor facilities, churches, ski resorts, sports leagues, schools and swim clubs as well. Active Network does well in social media marketing, much like NationBuilder but doesn't do as well on the financial side as our Editors' Choice winner Zen Planner.
There are three pieces of the Active Network's solution that work together: the Registration System, the Financial Management and Reporting module, and Marketing and Communications. The registration system lets organizers of day camps and overnight camps keep track of which camper is attending which session, automates sign-ups, and collects fees. One feature of camp management that differs from other types of activities is that the camper usually pays a reservation fee at the time of registration, and is then required to pay the rest of the fee prior to attending camp. Active Network lets camp managers set up payment plans with installments too. You can require campers to pay with a credit card online, or let them mail a paper check.
Another unique need for camps is to organize the camper database by family, as one family might have multiple members attending sessions. You don't want to send three copies of an email to a parent who had three kids at camp last year—you just want one to remind them that it's time to sign up for camp again this year. This is handled within the marketing and communications module.
SEE ALSO: The Best Employee Monitoring Software for 2020
Discount Codes and Coupons
Active Network lets organizers create discount codes and coupons as well. For example, when a family pays the total at the time of registration, you might offer them a five percent discount to encourage immediate payment. You might have group discounts if a second child in a family also signs up; the registration system can handle that. You can also fill empty spots with last-minute registration discounts.
Registering for camp, especially those with physical activities, often means requiring a doctor's approval. Most sleepaway camps for kids also involve submitting immunization records. All of these can be set up in the registration menu, with email nudges defined for those who haven't submitted the forms yet. Camps run by universities have special requirements set by the NCAA; Active Network updated their software earlier this year to help with compliance.
The registration system is set up so that your camp complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) with notices to parents and a request for their consent to use the information you collect for managing the camp. Another feature lets you set up a waitlist if a camp session fills up, but you have continued interest from potential campers. You can also ask registrants to make a donation so that scholarships can be made available to families with fewer cash resources.
Payment Peculiarities
One way that Active Network differs from most other systems is that when a payment is submitted by a camper's family using a credit card, the funds go to Active Network first. This is similar to the default setup with MemberPlanet. Active Network sends the money collected on your behalf to you via direct deposit or paper checks every 7-14 days. Obviously, that's significantly slower than opting for direct deposit. The upside to this is that you don't have to set up a relationship with a payment processing company as Active Network fulfills that role. Active Network does charge a fee of $4.95 per transaction maximum; a representative says that it could be lower depending on the number of transactions a camp processes.
There's no monthly subscription fee to use any of the Active Network platforms, which is a marked difference from the other membership management platforms we have reviewed here. The transaction fee and payment frequency can be negotiated individually by each customer. You have to decide whether to pad each registration with the Active Network transaction fee, or build it into your pricing.
The financial reporting module lets you slice and dice accounts receivable and make year over year comparisons. You can also set goals and check the Financial Center within the platform to see how you're performing. Still, for a company making its revenue on payment processing, we would have liked to have seen more in-depth reporting options.
As part of the communications and marketing package, Active Network maintains a marketplace for all of their camp customers; parents seeking a camp can search it and, with any luck, find you. Email campaigns can be tracked so you can see whether a particular message turned into action, such as clicking links or filling out a registration form. You'll want to send out pre-camp to-do lists, and post-camp thank you notes, and those can be quickly set up and sent. Email opt-outs are built in.
The social media component helps your campers market your offerings. A parent who registers a kid for one of your camps can click on the Facebook widget to update their page, and publish a link for others to check you out.
Active Network has templates to help you build out your site, or you can hire one of their designers to develop it for you. When you have a site hosted with Active Network, they help you register (or move) your domain name. Some of the other membership management systems have initial site names of yourname.theirname.com until you point your domain name registration in the right direction; Active Network bypasses that step from the start.
There is no way to test drive the software without becoming a customer, however. Our review was accomplished thanks to the cooperation of a friend who runs the Active Network system. Active Network holds live demos fairly frequently, so you can watch a webinar and get a feel for how it will work for you. All in all, Active Network is a competent system but you should investigate your payment processing options before committing to the platform.

Does the Michie Company have a copyright on the text of the General Statutes, the statutory numbering and classification system, the General Statute chapter, part, or article titles, or the "history notes" at the end of most statutory sections?
Are there any legal restrictions to the General Assembly providing, with or without cost, electromagnetic copies of any part or all of the General Statutes database to a third party, which subsequently publishes or sells computer access to the material provided?
To build the General Statutes database, you purchased electromagnetic tape copies of the entire statutory body from the Michie Company (hereafter "Michie"); the licenses for the bill typing software and the storage, search and retrieval software for the document retrieval system were purchased from another vendor. The General Assembly staff converted the files purchased from the Michie Company into a document format compatible with the General Assembly's printer. Using the exact electronic files of the Session Laws, the General Assembly staff updates its database annually to reflect changes made by the Session Laws. The staff consults with both the Attorney General and Michie for the purpose of resolving any differences or conflicts in versions of the statutes. The General Assembly provides Michie with electronic versions of its Session Laws which the company uses to update its own statutory database and to publish the printed General Statutes volumes.
The Michie company has copyrighted The General Statutes of North Carolina Annotated, a multi-volume publication which includes the laws enacted by the General Assembly of North Carolina.
The General Assembly database does not contain any of the footnotes, casenotes, or annotations that appear in Michie's publication. For each section of the General Statutes, the General Assembly database contains the chapter title, part number, section number, section text, and a history note indicating the various Session Laws that modified the section's text. While the history notes at the end of most sections originally came from the Michie tapes, they have been prepared and updated by General Assembly staff since 1987.
I. Michie does not have a copyright on the text of the General Statutes, the statutory numbering and classification system, the General Statute chapter, part, or article titles, or the history notes at the end of most statutory sections.
We do not know whether Michie purports to have a copyright on any of the items identified in your question. However, it is our opinion that Michie can not have a copyright, enforceable against the State, on any of the specifically identified components in the General Assembly database.
It is clear that pursuant to 17 U.S.C. 101 et seq., copyright protects "original works of authorship" and applies to both derivative works and compilations. By definition, both types of work are formed, in part, from preexisting sources and material that is factual. However, copyright protection extends only to works, or portions thereof, which are original to the author; the preexisting portions of or raw facts in the compilation or derivative work receive no protection from copyright laws.
N.C. 52, 74 S.E.2d 310 (1953). At the end of each session of the General Assembly, the Legislative Services commission must publish all laws passed at the session and provide and supply the Secretary of State with bound volumes of the session laws. The actual laws passed by the General Assembly are housed in the Office of the Secretary of State and contain the text of the General Statutes, the statutory numbering and classification system, the General Statute chapter, part, or article titles, part number, section number and section text. G.S. 120-32(7), 12034(a).
The Division of Legislative Drafting and Codification of Statutes is responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the General Statutes. That Division completes and perfects the General Statutes by inserting all amendments in their proper places in sections under the appropriate chapter and subdivisions of chapters. It is also authorized to change the number of sections and chapters, transfer sections, chapters and subdivisions of chapters and make such other corrections which do not change the laws, as may be necessary to make an accurate, clear, and orderly statement of the laws. G.S. 114-9, 164-9. See also, Memorandum of Agreement to Attorney General Lacy H. Thornburg, Attorney General of North Carolina, from Philip S. LaMar, the Michie Company, March 4, 1991, Section IV (attached).
It is our opinion that when Michie Company distributes or otherwise makes available copies of the North Carolina General Statutes, it does nothing more than create a reprint or representation of the General Statutes which were enacted by the General Assembly. As such, Michie is reprinting preexisting works. It can claim copyright protection only as to those components of its General Statutes publication that it added, or that are original to the company. It has no original authorship or ownership interest in portions copied from other sources.
Case law supports our view that "the law" cannot be reduced to property through copyright and that the public must have free access to state laws, unhampered by any claim of copyright, whether that claim be made by an individual or by the state itself. See Wheaton v. Peters, 33 U.S. (8 Pet.) 591 (1834); Callaghan v. Myers, 128 U.S. 617 (1888); Davidson v. Wheelock, 27 F. 61 (Minn. 1866); Howell v. Miller, 91 F. 129 (6th Cir. 1898) and State of Georgia v. Harrison Co., 548 F. Supp.110 (N.D. Ga. 1982), vacated by agreement of the parties, 559 F. Supp. 37 (N.D. Ga. 1983). We therefore conclude that the Michie Company can have no copyright to the text of the General Statutes of North Carolina, including the statutory numbering and classification system, the General Statute chapter, part, or article titles, the section number and text, or the "history notes" at the end of most statutory sections which were supplied by the staff of the General Assembly.
There may be some question as to whether Michie has a copyright to some portion of the history notes that were not generated by the General Assembly's staff, but even that is uncertain. The history notes appear to be nothing more than a factual statement of effect the various session laws on existing statutory provisions. As such, we think it unlikely that they would be covered by Michie's copyright. See Feist Publication v. Rural Telephone Service Co., 111 S. Ct. 1282 (1991). It is important to note that the presence or absence of a copyright on some or all of the data in the General Statutes database is not dispositive of whether the General Assembly may release the data to a third party. So long as the data is a public record, G.S. §132-1 et seq. requires its release. The use to which a recipient puts the data and whether that use violates a copyright are matters which must be resolved by the copyright holder and the third party recipient.
II. Once the General Assembly provides a third party with electromagnetic copies of its General Statutes database, it may not restrict that third party's subsequent publication or resale of the material.
You also inquire as to the existence of legal restrictions on your providing, with or without cost, electromagnetic copies of any part or all of the General Statutes database to a third party, who then publishes or sells computer access to the data. Since the database is a "public record", access is governed by G.S. 132-1 et seq. The right of access to public records is very comprehensive. Every person having custody of public records shall permit them to be inspected and examined at reasonable times by any person and must provide copies upon the payment of fees. G.S. 132-6.
We conclude that the subsequent publication or sale of computer access to any part or all of the General Statutes database obtained pursuant to G.S. 132-6 is not subject to restriction or limitation by your office. Indeed, it is our opinion that a third party's intended use of the information is irrelevant to whether copies of the database may be provided in the first instance. This conclusion is based, in part, upon the fact that G.S. 132-1 et seq. does not require that persons requesting public records disclose the purpose or motive for their requests. And we do not believe that you may require the persons requesting access to the records to divulge the use to which the records will be put.

Land Snails and Slugs of the Pacific Northwest
Thomas E. Burke, William P. Leonard, SCI070000, NAT049000, 2013-04-01, English
Species Accounts 66 Land Snails and Slugs of the pacific northwest Phylum: Mollusca Class: Gastropoda Subclass: Eugastropoda Gastropods that breathe through gills and have an operculum that closes the aperture when the animal is withdrawn into the shell. Order: Neotaenioglossa Superfamily: Littorinoidea Family: Littorinidae Genus: Littorina Littorina subrotundata (Carpenter, 1864) Newcomb's Littorine Snail Synonyms: Algamorda subrotundata; Algamorda newcombiana (Hemphill, 1877) Description: A snail of intertidal salt marshes, the shell is higher than wide, turbinate, with a rather globose body whorl and a conical spire tapering to an acute apex. The aperture is teardrop-shaped, about half the height of the shell, and is closed by an operculum when the animal is withdrawn. The shell may attain a height to about 8 mm, but most are smaller. It is brown with narrow lighter or whitish spiral bands. The columellar lip margin is reflected to form a narrow groove under it. Similar Species: The habitat on which it is found separates this species from most other snails. A similar snail in some of the same areas, Littorina sp., has brighter-colored, more distinct and more evenly spaced, alternating yellow and dark brown bands. Its aperture is more bilaterally symmetrical than that of L. subrotundata, and it lacks the distinct twist in the columella and the angle at the columellar insertion. It appears to be more numerous than L. subrotundata in Coos Bay, Oregon, but much less common in the Washington salt marshes. Of the other salt marsh snails, Assiminea californica has a similarly shaped shell, but it is smaller and more narrowly conic than the Newcomb's littorine snail, and it is uniformly brown, lacking the light-colored bands. Distribution: L. subrotundata inhabits the upper intertidal zone, which is inundated only occasionally. It can be found in the salt marshes on Salicornia (glasswort or pickleweed) or on the mud under these plants. It occurs in a few bays along the Pacific Coast, having been reported from Humboldt Bay, California, to Neah Bay, Washington. However, there has been some controversy over whether or not these reports are of a single species. L. sub rotundata occurs in Willapa Bay and Gray's Harbor, Washington; Coos Bay, Oregon; and presumably in Humboldt Bay, California. Its occurrence is questionable and needs to be confirmed in other areas from which it has been reported. species accounts: Littorinidae 67 2 1 & 2: Littorina subrotundata: Bay Center, Willapa Bay, Pacific Co., WA; scale bar = 1 mm 3: Littorina subrotundata (operculum): Bay Center, Willapa Bay, Pacific Co., WA 4: Littorina sp. (L. subrotundata cf.): Coos Bay, Coos Co., OR; scale bar = 2 mm 4 1 3 68 Land Snails and Slugs of the pacific northwest Superfamily: Rissooidea Family: Assimineidae Genus: Assiminea Assiminea californica (Tryon, 1865) California Assiminea Description: A small snail of intertidal salt marshes, the shell is higher than wide, turbinate , with a rather globose body whorl and a conical spire tapering to an acute apex. The aperture is teardrop-shaped, about half the height of the shell, and is closed by an operculum when the animal is withdrawn. The shell, with 5 to 5½ whorls, measures less than 5 mm high by about 3 mm wide. It is dark brown, smooth, with no specific markings. There is no distinct groove under the columellar lip margin. Similar Species: Within the salt marshes, Littorina subrotundata is the most similar species, but its shell is larger, relatively broader, and is marked with alternating brown and whitish bands. Distribution: A. californica can be found along the Pacific Coast and the shores of Puget Sound in intertidal salt marshes, in the upper intertidal zone, under Salicornia, and under other plants and debris. Its range extends from southern British Columbia to Baja California. Assiminea californica: South Bend, Willapa Bay, Pacific Co., WA; scale bar = 2 mm species accounts: Assimineidae, Pomatiopsidae 69 Family: Pomatiopsidae Genus: Cecina Cecina manchurica A. Adams, 1861 Manchurian Cecina Description: This is a small snail of intertidal salt marshes with a somewhat cylindrical shell. The periphery of the whorls is only gently rounded, and the sides of the spire are slightly but evenly tapered toward the apex, which is normally truncated and healed to a rounded end at about three whorls. As such, the shell measures about 6 mm in length. The aperture is small, obliquely-ovate or teardrop-shaped, and it is closed by an operculum when the animal is withdrawn. Similar Species: No other snail of this size and shape occupies the PNW salt marsh habitats. Distribution: C. manchurica...

In this video, view an overview of the New England, Berkshire & Western model railroad layout. This video is Allen Keller's tribute to the Rensselaer Model Railroad Society on the 50th anniversary of the club and 25th anniversary of the New England, Berkshire & Western model railroad.
This is the fourth version of the HO layout that has been built by students and friends. One man is more closely associated with the club than anyone else, John Nehrich. John has been involved in the club since 1968, and now works full time for it. He has kept the vision of building a model that is true to the original concept, even though the layout has been refined over the years. Allen speaks with the president of the NEB&W, Mike Barenys.
Some aspects of the layout are different from the model Allen saw when he was there in 1987. The outside of Davison Hall hasn't changed much over the years but the layout sure has. The NEB&W is in the basement of this hall at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York.
Most of the layout has been rebuilt at least twice, yet the continuity of the club and the layout remains, even improved. The members are sticklers for accuracy of rolling stock, structures, and scenery. The 40 members are evenly divided between students and non students. The layout itself is L-girder with hand-laid track and a minimum radius of 48 inches. This visit to the NEB&W will include a number of trains, so you will get a feel for the total railroad and its traffic. The overview begins in the branchline at North Creek.

2017 Asian American Leadership Delegation
The 2017 Delegates in Osaka, Japan
The Asian American Leadership Delegation (AALD) program provides the opportunity for a select group of Asian American leaders from across the U.S. to travel to Japan to engage with Japanese leaders in the business, government, academic, and nonprofit sectors. USJC works with these state legislators to broaden the understanding of the U.S.-Japan relationship in United States legislative bodies and to foster connections among diverse Asian American leaders and Japanese government, business and civil society leaders.
After taking part in the Asian American Leadership Delegation (AALD) program, participants will have opportunities to continue pursuing an active role in U.S.-Japan relations by connecting with USJC's extensive international, national and regional networks. The program is funded by The Sasakawa Peace Foundation and supported by The National Asian Pacific American Caucus of State Legislators.
The AALD Program began in 2014, and 23 delegates have participated to date.
In the fourth year of this signature program, the Asian American Leadership Delegation visited Kyoto, Osaka and Tokyo from September 29 to October 7, and met with Japanese national and local political and governmental officials, business executives and community leaders. They exchanged ideas and created networks that can mutually benefit each other in the short- to long-term.
The Sasakawa Peace Foundation and USJC hosted a panel discussion titled "Diversity in Leadership: The Journey of Asian American State Legislators" with the 2017 AALD Delegates on October 5 in Tokyo. During the panel discussion, which was moderated by renowned journalist Aiko Doden, delegates talked about their respective political and personal journeys in the United States.
Many of the 2017 delegates have followed non-traditional paths, choosing to become a politician after pursuing different careers. The audience learned about their personal choices, as well as the important role Asian American politicians play in their political arenas, especially in light of current events. The speakers also reflected upon their week-long experience in Japan. For more information, please see the Sasakawa Peace Foundation webpage here. An event flier is also available here.

Why I'm excited about the iMessage platform: privacy
Yesterday's news that WhatsApp was going to start sharing user data with Facebook reminded me of the worry I felt a few months back in the lead up to Facebook's launch of its Messenger platform.
At the time we were in "peak bot". Folks were saying chat apps were the new browsers, bots the new websites, and that we were at the beginning of a new internet. And I —one of the roughly 1 in 3 people in the U.S. who is not a Facebook user — was afraid Facebook successfully opening up Messenger to developers would force me to ignore my privacy concerns around Facebook and signup, or risk missing out on a new and thriving billion person platform.
The problem is developing for Facebook Messenger, Telegram, Line, WeChat, and the like, risks not only your privacy as a developer — because you have to have an account with the service in order to develop for it — but your users' privacy as well. When you develop on a platform that tracks users and sells their personal data, you're saying that's okay. You're complicit in supporting a business model where the people are the product.
My worries proved to be unfounded. The launch of the Messenger platform went… less than great. "The slowest way to use the internet." "Frustrating and useless." "Dreaded return of DOS prompts." But I knew that, if Facebook was eventually the first to create a thriving chat marketplace in the U.S., there was still a chance I'd eventually be faced with the faustian bargain of privacy or platform.
Which is why, a couple of months ago at WWDC, when Apple officially announced the iMessage app platform, I did something I'd never done before — immediately installed the iOS 10 beta on my primary iPhone, bugs be damned, and got to work.
With the iMessage platform, we'll get access to an estimated 750+ million highly active daily users, no compromises necessary. Pundits have chided Apple's focus on privacy as outdated, but it's situations like this where the long game pays off.
The web of 2016 has felt a little bleak. It's started to feel like accessing the internet and maintaining some semblance of privacy are mutually exclusive. And while they don't often get credit for it, Apple is doing everything they can to push back. To say privacy, while connecting with friends and family, is still possible. To say you shouldn't have to agree to better targeted ads just to share a photo.
With iMessage, Apple has quietly built the world's largest private social network, and next month they'll be opening it up in a way that won't sacrifice their users or the ideals of the developers who will build on top of it. And to me, and I'd bet a lot of other people, that's a big deal and an exciting opportunity.
Occasional thoughts on how to build a successful one person business. Husband & father of three.

A counterfeit is an imitation or a fake item that is usually created with the intent to deceptively represent its content or origins and increase the perceived value or appeal due to the reputation of the original product.
The word counterfeit most frequently describes forgeries of currency or documents, but can also describe clothing, software, pharmaceuticals, watches, or more recently, cars and motorcycles, especially when this results in patent infringement or trademark infringement.
All over the world, private individuals, gangs and criminal organizations participate in the criminal activity of counterfeiting money and products. They illegally duplicate everything from handbags, to jewelry, to money for their own financial gain. The tools, technology and processes used by these criminal organizations is becoming more and more sophisticated. Sometimes, even trained experts have a difficult time telling the real items from the fakes. This makes it increasingly difficult to identify counterfeited materials and even more difficult to trace the goods back to the producer.
The main reason behind the continued growth in fake products is there is very strong demand for the products. Those who produce the fakes are able to make them more cheaply than the original manufacturers, so in turn, they are able to sell them at a deeply discounted price. Those who purchase the goods are sometimes not aware they are purchasing a knock-off, so they are quite happy with the greatly reduced price. In other cases, consumers are well-aware they are buying a knock-off, but they are fine with it because it looks very similar to the real thing.
As a result, the process continues to be a thriving industry. In 2013, the Department of Homeland Security confiscated over $1.7 billion in good at the U.S. Borders alone. This number doesn't account for what may have slipped through undetected. Nor does it account for good pirated domestically and shipped and distributed within the United States.
The are a number of dangers involved with products produced by counterfeiters. First, they aren't officially inspected by a government agency, so they may not be made up to standard and may have defects. Such products can cause physical harm, maybe even death to those who use them.
In addition, the illicit industry impacts the very cities in which they operate. The "business" owners don't pay federal, state or city taxes. Also, the products may be made by children or teenagers who work in factories or warehouses that are unfit and unsafe.
Also, the industry often contributes to and supports organized crime organizations. Often, these organizations are involved with the manufacturing, distribution and sale of the goods. Down the line, the money received is often used for other criminal activity, such as to fund drug trafficking, prostitution and even terrorist activity.
The Secret Service remains committed to the mission of combating counterfeiting by working closely with state and local law enforcement agencies, as well as foreign law enforcement agencies, to aggressively pursue counterfeiters. To perform at the highest level, the Secret Service constantly reviews the latest reprographic/lithographic technologies to keep a step ahead of the counterfeiters. The Secret Service maintains a working relationship with the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and the Federal Reserve System to ensure the integrity of our currency. Visit the website at U.S. Secret Service – Counterfeit Division.
The website Counterfeit Detection will help you determine if those colorful pieces of paper are worth the paper they are printed on , whether it is Dollars, Pounds, Euros, .etc. All banknotes are produced in a similar way and result in a similar set of characteristics. They also have security measures built into them which make them difficult to reproduce. However it is not possible to produce a counterfeit proof anything and there will always be individuals producing fakes.


Before I start, I'd like to point out that this is a bug with the current Launcher and not any particular version of Minecraft. This issue has been raised before but got dismissed on 'unsupported version' grounds.
The workaround for it dissuades players from using the official launcher.
When using the Minecraft Launcher to start a Minecraft client of version 1.6.4 or earlier the user's Session ID is not passed to the client.
Attached is an image of the startup log when launching Minecraft 1.6.4. You can see where the client (game) is reporting a Session ID of '-'. Starting Minecraft 1.7.2 from the same Launcher session will pass the Session ID to the client.
The issue affects versions of Minecraft 1.6.4 and earlier. I can only assume that from version 1.7.x onward a different argument name is being used for the Session ID.

Regulator looking at changes to fees
RDR failings may see return of commission
By Richard Leeson, Senior Money Writer | January 11, 2016
The regulator is considering reversing a ban on commission for selling investment products which it brought in three years ago to protect consumers from mis-selling scandals.
It was one of a number of measures brought in by the Retail Distribution Review (RDR), now subject to much debate over the merits of the changes that were introduced.
The thinking behind the ban was that the lure of commission led some unscrupulous advisers to promote products that were unsuitable for investors.
There was certainly cause for concern based on wide-spread selling of inappropriate endowments, pensions and pension transfers over the preceding twenty years.
In place of commission, advisers are required to charge fees which can be upfront and/or ongoing. These fees are agreed with the investor and, unlike commission, are highly visible. Why then would the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) want to look at re-introducing commission?
Both before and since the advent of the RDR, advisers and providers of investment products have argued that the changes brought in were too draconian and would disadvantage smaller investors who could not afford the new fee levels.
This, it was argued, would lead to an "advice gap" for the majority of the investing public. Investors would have to fend for themselves and be responsible for their own investing mistakes. There is evidence that this gap exists; the new pension freedoms are an area where many sought advice and, according to Which?, were surprised to find advisers charging fees of up £3,750.
The FCA published a report from Towers Watson on its findings from an investigation into the advice gap in 2014.
Broadly, it concluded that while there were ample numbers of advisers for those who could afford them there was a gap in the market for advice for less affluent investors.
If this report is influencing the thinking of the regulator then it may be the reason that they are looking again at the question of commission and its possible reintroduction.
Commission would allow advice to be given without the investor having to pay separately for the advice since it would form part of the charges of the product.
What does this mean for consumers? Tracey McDermott, acting chief execuive of the FCA, has been at pains to reassure investors that there would not be a return to the poor practices of the pre-RDR regime.
Others may be more sceptical. The biggest beneficiaries of any changes would be the retail banks who have easy access to large numbers of potential investors. Their track record of mis-selling PPI, LIBOR fixing and a poor complaints record at the Financial Ombudsman Service (over 60% of complaints upheld were against banks) will not reassure the investing public.
Ms McDermott announced only last month that the regulator was not proceeding with an inquiry into the culture, behaviour and pay at the banks. One must hope that her faith in the banks to behave in the future is well-founded.
