Financial assistance and compensation

How we helped our clients get compensation
How we helped a victim of crime receive fairer compensation
How we helped a victim of family violence get compensation
Victims of crime who receive compensation such as WorkCover can find it difficult to also get financial help for lost earnings from the Victims of Crime Assistance Tribunal (VOCAT).
To help Paul* get compensation we successfully challenged the fairness of previous VOCAT decisions. Now other victims of crime might also be compensated for any shortfall between WorkCover and what they would have earned had they not experienced an act of violence.
Paul's story
Paul worked as a bouncer at a suburban pub. One night, when he was the only bouncer on duty, a drunk man started making trouble and Paul had to escort him outside.
The man then returned and tried to throw a punch at the barman. Paul had to restrain him but was headbutted and then punched in the face.
After the attack Paul couldn't work any more. He developed post traumatic stress disorder and experienced extreme anxiety and depression. He couldn't go anywhere that triggered memories of the attack. So he hardly left his room.
Paul received WorkCover payments but these didn't make up for his lost earnings. His reduced income forced him to move into a rooming house, which made his mental illness worse.
Paul called our Legal Help phoneline to find out about his rights as a victim of crime. We arranged for him to come in and have a face-to-face advice session with one of our lawyers. He then received a grant of legal aid for us to take on his case.
We represented Paul at VOCAT and applied for financial compensation to make up the difference between his WorkCover payments and what he would have received in wages.
VOCAT caps compensation for loss of earnings at $20,000 over two years. As he had already received more than $20,000 over two years from WorkCover, Paul was told he might not qualify to be compensated for loss of earnings as a victim of crime.
We challenged this and argued that it would be fairer to calculate Paul's total amount of lost earnings, deduct the WorkCover amount, and then apply the cap.
Our challenge was successful and Paul received a payment that made up for the shortfall. The magistrate also awarded Paul an extra payment to help him leave the rooming house and get private rental accommodation.
The first thing Paul did was move into a place of his own. He's looking forward to moving on and putting the assault behind him.
If you have been a victim of crime and are unsure of your rights, find out how you can get help.

Under the supervision of the Specialized Prosecution Office, an operation has taken place against a human trafficking canal the members of which were situated in Svilengrad, Bulgaria. Four men have been arrested.
Four men from Svilengrad, Bulgaria have been arrested for running a human trafficking ring in Svilengrad, Bulgaria. B.M. has been arrested as the originator of the cartel, where G.A., K.G., and S.G. were accomplices. According to the revealed information, the trafficking group has been smuggling people from Turkey through the territory of Bulgaria. The band managed to smuggle 44 Iraqi citizens through the border, 14 of which had been under the age of 16. The ring leader and one of the members have been detained, while the remaining two were released under bail.
Through its actions, the Specialized Prosecution Office has managed to break a few similar smuggling rings during the year of 2017, which undoubtedly will have its effect on the security of Bulgaria and Europe in general. Earlier this year a smuggling ring operating on Bulgaria's northern border was busted and six people were arrested for smuggling illegal Afghani, Iraqi and Pakistani immigrants.

Countrywide helps subprime borrowers
Feb. 11, 2008, 12:37 PM UTC
Countrywide Financial Corp., under pressure to help stem growing home loan defaults, says it will expand programs to help borrowers manage their mortgage payments regardless of the type of subprime loan they have or whether they have already fallen behind on payments.
Full details of the initiative, the result of a pact with the national community advocacy group, were to be disclosed Monday. Initial plans to disclose the deal were postponed last month after Calabasas-based Countrywide agreed to be acquired by Bank of America Corp. for $4.1 billion in stock.
Countrywide, the nation's largest mortgage lender and home loan servicer, has sought to address the growing number of defaults on its books by modifying loan terms, working out long-term repayment plans and other actions. The company said last month it helped more than 81,000 borrowers keep their mortgage payments manageable in 2007.
The company also was among the lenders who agreed to a Bush administration-proposed agreement to freeze rates on some subprime mortgages for five years.
Those efforts focused on borrowers with adjustable rate mortgages that were still being paid but set to adjust to higher monthly payments.
The latest initiative, brokered with the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, calls for Countrywide to try to manage payment plans for borrowers that are already behind in payments, regardless of which type of subprime loan they have.
"Through this partnership, Countrywide and ACORN have agreed to a set of home retention standards to help borrowers who are in various situations of financial difficulty to establish suitable repayment plans or other solutions," Steve Bailey, Countrywide's senior managing director of loan administration, said in a prepared statement.
Some 6.96 percent of the 9 million loans in Countrywide's servicing portfolio were delinquent as of Dec. 31, up from 5.02 percent in December 2006.
About 1.04 percent of the mortgage loans, or 93,961, were pending foreclosure, up from 0.65 percent.
Under the latest plan, borrowers with subprime hybrid adjustable-rate mortgages, which typically were issued with a low "teaser" interest rate and then adjust higher after two or three years, could be offered the option of refinancing into a lower prime rate loan, or have their initial interest rate frozen for five years.
Homeowners with fixed-rate subprime loans who have fallen behind on payments could be offered short-term repayment plans, loan modifications or other adjustments, including having their interest rate frozen or adding their overdue balances to their principal loan amount.
Despite the efforts to modify loans for some borrowers, some consumer groups argue the mortgage industry hasn't done enough, noting many borrowers continue to fall behind on payments.
Maude Hurd, national president of ACORN, however, praised Countrywide's latest initiative.
"We hope others in the mortgage servicing industry will adopt similar practices," Hurd said in a statement.

Mari is currently in an exhibition at the Meueo de Art Popular in Mexico City together with other members of her Oaxaca collectivo. An exploration of immigration in the puebla of Tanivet, the exhibition is the product of many hours spent meeting local families, collecting their histories, and then documenting them in photographs and paintings. These are two of Mari's contributions.
On Thursday, August 7, The Worcester Center for Crafts will launch a unique exhibit that will take viewers on an artistic journey through a world of storytelling. Titled "Ambient Folklore," the exhibit will provide visual narratives of nine artists, available for exploration and explication by viewers.
Humberto will be showing his latest paintings at the Ishuakara studio and gallery on November 1 at 7:00. Hope you all can come.

There will be three tasks, spaced throughout the school year, and they will test the champions in many different ways… their magical prowess – their daring – their powers of deduction – and, of course, their ability to cope with danger.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is our second read for this month. I've read the first three books earlier this year and we all know that September is the perfect month to continue the magical journey. I totally enjoyed the series and my favorite so far is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. I am a late bloomer when it comes to Harry Potter and I have to say that I am happy because reading the books makes me feel younger.
The first two chapters, The Riddle House and The Scar, show us how Harry Potter and You-Know-Who are connected with each other. The Riddle House gave me chills and once again, I feel the dark magic of You-Know-Who. Even though I know the story of the whole series, I am still excited to read all of them.

Missense mutations in POU4F3 cause autosomal dominant hearing impairment DFNA15 and affect subcellular localization and DNA binding.
Title: Missense mutations in POU4F3 cause autosomal dominant hearing impairment DFNA15 and affect subcellular localization and DNA binding.
Author(s): Collin, R.W.J. ; Chellappa, R.; Pauw, R.J. ; Vriend, G. ; Oostrik, J. ; Drunen, W.J. van ; Huygen, P.L.M. ; Admiraal, R.J.C. ; Hoefsloot, L.H. ; Cremers, F.P.M. ; Xiang, M.; Cremers, C.W.R.J. ; Kremer, H.
In a Dutch pedigree suffering from autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing impairment (ADNSHI), linkage was found to the locus for DFNA15, with a two-point logarithm of the odds (LOD) score of 5.1. Sequence analysis of the POU4F3 gene that is involved in DFNA15 revealed the presence of a missense mutation (c.865C>T), segregating with the deafness in this family. The mutation is predicted to result in the substitution of a phenylalanine residue for a leucine residue (p.L289F) in the POU homeodomain of the transcription factor POU4F3. Mutation analysis of the POU4F3 gene in 30 patients suffering from dominantly inherited hearing impairment revealed a second novel missense mutation (c.668T>C), resulting in the substitution of a proline for a leucine residue (p.L223P) within the POU-specific DNA-binding domain of the protein. In a computer model describing the structure of the two DNA-binding domains, the alterations are predicted to affect the tertiary structure of these domains. Transient transfection studies showed that whereas the wild-type POU4F3 is located almost exclusively in the nucleus, part of the mutant proteins was also present in the cytoplasm. In addition, both mutant proteins showed greatly reduced capability for binding to DNA as well as transcriptionally activating reporter gene expression. Together, our results describe the identification of the first missense mutations in POU4F3 causing DFNA15. Furthermore, mutations in this gene do not seem to be a rare cause of hearing impairment in the Dutch population, and the POU4F3 gene may thus be suitable for implementation in diagnostic testing.

KNOW YOUR TAXPAYER BILL OF RIGHTS
Posted by Mike McLenehan Feb 10, 2016 11:39:01 PM
The first time I called Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) for a client I was nervous. The prospect of dealing with CRA can be intimidating. But the agency has a requirement to respect the rights of taxpayers while they pursue their mandate to implement the Canadian tax system.
CRA provides the Taxpayer Bill of Rights, which takes your rights expressed in Canada's tax code and summarizes them in 16 categories. You have the right …
1. To receive entitlements and to pay no more and no less than what is required by law
You can expect to receive the benefits, credits and refunds to which you are entitled under the law and to pay no more and no less than the correct amount of tax required under the law.
2. To service in both official languages
You can expect CRA to communicate with you and provide services in the official language of your choice (English or French) on the Internet, by telephone, in writing or at a designated bilingual office.
3. To privacy and confidentiality
You can expect CRA to protect the confidentiality of the information that you provide. Your information will be used only for purposes allowed by law. Only those persons who are authorized by law and who require the information to administer programs and legislation have the right to access your personal and financial information.
4. To a formal review and a subsequent appeal
You are entitled to a formal review of your file if you believe that CRA has not applied the law correctly or that you have not received your full entitlements. Appeals officers who are not involved in the original decision will conduct a formal and impartial review. Filing an objection will start the review by Agency appeals officers. If they do not resolve the matter to your satisfaction, you are entitled to appeal to the tax courts.
5. To be treated professionally, courteously, and fairly
You can expect CRA agents will treat you courteously and with consideration at all times, including when CRA requests information or arranges interviews and audits. You can also expect CRA to listen to you, take your circumstances into account, and treat you fairly to make fair and impartial decisions in accordance with the law. CRA will explain their decision and inform you about your rights and obligations with respect to that decision.
6. To complete, accurate, clear, and timely information
You can expect CRA to provide you with complete, accurate and timely information that will explain in plain language the laws and policies that apply to your situation, to help you get your entitlements and meet your obligations.
7. Not to pay income tax amounts in dispute before you have had an impartial review
You are entitled to withhold payment of assessed income tax amounts that you are disputing in a formal objection, other than source deductions, until you have had a formal review by the CRA or, if you have filed an appeal, until the Tax Court of Canada has issued its decision. If you appeal to a higher court, you will be able to provide equivalent security instead of paying the amount in dispute. However, in certain circumstances that are specified in the legislation, the CRA can exercise its authority to take collection action even though an objection or appeal has been filed.
8. To have the law applied consistently
You can expect CRA to apply the law consistently so everyone gets their entitlements and pays the right amount. CRA will take your particular circumstances into account to the extent that the legislation they administer allows them to do so.
9. To lodge a service complaint and to be provided with an explanation of our findings
You can expect that if you lodge a complaint about the service you receive from CRA, you will be listened to and given the opportunity to explain your situation. CRA will deal with your complaint promptly, impartially and in confidence, and CRA will provide you with an explanation of their findings.
10. To have the costs of compliance taken into account when administering tax legislation
CRA recognizes the need to keep to a minimum your costs, including your time and effort that are incurred to comply with the tax and benefit legislation, while balancing their responsibility to administer the legislation efficiently and economically. CRA will attempt to make their dealings with you as straightforward and convenient as possible.
11. To expect CRA to be accountable
You have the right to expect CRA to be accountable for what they do. When CRA makes a decision about your tax or benefit affairs, they will explain that decision and inform you about your rights and obligations in respect of that decision. CRA is also accountable to Parliament, and through Parliament to Canadians, for what they do. CRA reports to Parliament on their performance with respect to tax services and benefit programs and the results they achieve against their published service standards.
12. To relief from penalties and interest under tax legislation because of extraordinary circumstances
This right means that CRA will consider your request to waive or cancel all or part of any penalty and interest charges, if you were prevented from complying with your tax obligations because of circumstances beyond your control.
A number of laws CRA administers contain taxpayer relief provisions. When warranted, these provisions allow CRA to:
- cancel or waive all or part of penalties and interest;
- accept late-filed, amended, or revoked elections (income tax only); and
- issue income tax refunds beyond the normal three-year period (individuals and testamentary trusts only).
Examples of situations that could justify relief:
- a disaster such as flood or a fire;
- an error in a CRA publication, or incorrect information provided by a CRA employee;
- a disruption in services, such as a postal strike; and
- financial hardship.
For more information, see Information Circular IC07-1, Taxpayer Relief Provisions, at www.cra.gc.ca/forms or by calling 1-800-959-8281 for individuals or 1-800-959-5525 for business and self-employed individuals.
13. To expect CRA to publish their service standards and report annually
CRA sets targets for achieving their service standards based on operational realities and infrastructure, available resources, historical performance, degree of complexity of the work, and Canadians' expectations.
If you believe that CRA did not meet our service standards, let CRA know by contacting CRA – Service Complaints. Your concerns will be directed to the CRA program administrators who are responsible for setting and reviewing the service standards.
14. To expect CRA to warn you about questionable tax schemes in a timely manner
You can expect the CRA to provide timely and relevant information about questionable tax schemes that the CRA intends to scrutinize so that you can recognize and avoid falling into tax schemes that could put you at odds with Canada's tax laws. CRA strives to provide information that will help you understand how to protect yourself against tax schemes and understand the consequences you may face as a result of your participation in tax schemes.
15. To be represented by a person of your choice
You can get advice about your tax and benefit affairs from and be represented by a person of your choice. If you provide CRA with written authorization, CRA will discuss your situation with the representative of your choice. However, it is important for you to be aware that you are legally responsible for your tax and benefit affairs even if you choose to obtain assistance or have someone act on your behalf.
You can give this consent through the online services My Account at www.cra.gc.ca/myaccount, or My Business Account at www.cra.gc.ca/mybCRAinessaccount. You can also give consent to a representative by completing Form T1013, Authorizing or Cancelling a Representative, if you are an individual, or Form RC59, Business Consent, for a business.
16. To lodge a service complaint or request a formal review without fear of reprisal
You have the right to lodge a service complaint and request a formal review and to be confident the CRA will treat you impartially, and that you will receive the benefits, credits, and refunds to which you are entitled, and pay no more and no less than what is required by law.
If you feel that you have been subject to acts of reprisal, the CRA wants to hear from you. CRA take your concerns seriously. Tell CRA about them by completing Form RC459, Reprisal Complaint.

Standard and Poors the rating agency have announced they expect Spanish property to decline by 20% in coming 4 years period. They blame poor economic conditions in Spain and over supply of property as the principal cause.
However, there are numerous Banks including La Caixa who themselves have listed another 12,000 this year, and these banks have their own websites and in effect acting as estate agents potentially undermining the market further with like for like properties.
Property prices have declined, but I wonder if they will continue to do so in popular resort areas, now that the Russians are increasing in number.
Anyone selling property should consider using a Russian speaking estate agent, if they can't find joy with Brits.
Los británicos continúan siendo los mayores compradores de casa en España, ya que representan el 16,63% de todas las operaciones, aunque su tendencia es claramente descendente si se compara con el 23,4% de 2010. El segundo y el tercer lugar de la clasificación son los más disputados. A continuación de los británicos se sitúan los franceses, con el 9,96% de las operaciones, casi empatados con los rusos, que en muy poco tiempo se han alzado a la tercera posición, con el 9,62%, desbancando a los otrora todopoderosos alemanes y, lo más importante: subiendo.
I agree with S&P in that until the over supply and economic situation improves the market will decline further. Spanish and other people have their backs to the wall economically right now. Banks have no capital for lending and are struggling to meet the Basel 111 rules of required capital ratios.
However that in itself will not really dent the serious fundamental problems Spain has.
Also consider if over supply is massive now because of existing repossessions you also have to add to that supply chain the zillion properties Brits, Spanish and others are desperate to sell.
I am hearing tales of owners trying negotiating with lenders to off load their properties all the time. Banks are playing hard ball and will help in certain circumstances but only if the debt is less than the achievable market value and all taxes and charge liabilities are up to date. So fat chance.
If an when the market turns I suspect many who don't have property on the market now will attempt to sell for what they can achieve quickly, simply to get out from under, thereby increasing supply even further. It's a vicious game in a wrecked market.
Based on asking price also yes for one month. It doesn't mean a thing.
You're quoting historical falls (which no-one is arguing).
I'm linking to the current April resale figures – and the values stabilised (actually rose a vey small amount).
Now, we can all make predictions – we may even agree on some – but don't discard genuine data, as it may be of value to sellers as well as buyers on this board.
I'm sure the above posts and Mark's recent post are also based genuine data or are you suggesting otherwise? 🙄 Most sellers (and buyers) on this site probably don't come from La Rioja, the majority of both buyers and sellers are no doubt on the Costas and in larger Cities.
The general consensus appears to be 'now' does not look like the bottom of the market.
And according to the April figures, prices held steady, indeed improved in a few areas.
We can speculate all we like. It may well be that the April figures are a blip, or part of a short-term pause in further falls. But most pundits invariably miss a market when it turns, which is why we should keep a keen eye on actual data, not on "wot I reckon".
Maybe it is because I am not an economist nor a real estate expert, but I am confused by this report.
In markets that are not manipulated, the price-point is set by what people will pay. Even if half of the home buyers are foreigners, it seems to me that prices will have to drop much more than 20% before Spaniards will begin to purchase real estate.
If banks were forced to pay their bills, to declare truthful asset values, were subject to the same austerity programs that are being forced on the middle class and poor and most importantly if they were forced to sell their nearly worthless real estate holdings, we may true market-based real estate values emerge.
Until then, the price of real estate in Spain is reflective of market manipulation in order to protect some very wealthy people and their suckling politicians.
here's another figure that may indicate either a sea-change, or (if you prefer) a blip only for April.
Car sales rose by 11%, after 7 months of falls.
Now the article states that people were persuaded to buy thanks to the new PIVE scheme. But nonetheless, they bought. And house resale values rose slightly in the same month. Too early to call a trend – but the next few months may be interesting, don't you think?
Gary – Spanish banks require funding from the ECB and in good times the financial markets to keep them afloat. Borrowing in part is secured by their asset portfolios which are grossly over valued. If they came clean on their balance sheets with the true and actual values of their asset base and none performing loans then the ECB may decline to support them. The market certainly would. They don't want to make things worse.
These institutions cannot function by fractional reserve banking alone. That is why on paper at least property values are not declining as they should.
In investment parlance Spanish property has junk status. There will come a time, if the financial depression continues as looks likely, when the entire EMU system will collapse. Markets know that but in the meantime it continues to survive because no one knows or can predict just when that will be.
I'm neither buying or selling, but I walk around with my eyes open, and I know propaganda when I see it. The Banco Malo have given themselves 15 years to clear up the mess, and they won't be in a hurry to throw too many properties on the market, and nor will the proper banks whose borrowing from the money markets depend on the value of their property portfolios.
But on what I regard as the bright side, the largest local estate agents (with a terrible reputation among expats) have again started using their buses to ferry prospective buyers around, an activity that ceased five years ago.
And the figures quoted by Marcos, albeit for one month only, can't be ignored. I would suggest that when the market bottom is reached, very few experts will be aware of it.
From a market investors perspective waiting or searching around for the market price bottom is a waste of time. By inference it suggests people are sitting around with cash in their pockets ready to pounce when the time is exactly right to buy.
That's a silly scenario albeit painted by myself. Investors have their money elsewhere and doing nicely thank you otherwise they would shift it to where it would perform.
Investors will only return to this particular market when proven returns are manifest or risk reward is calculated positive.
This market then is dependent for it's recovery from second homers in Europe or Spain who possess the confidence to spend their hard earned money on something they don't really need. In addition to support the high annual overhead costs for the same on the belief renting will produce a return.
In an austerity ridden world with all it's uncertainty ask how likely is that?
I appreciate what you're saying, but you're a 'one -off', a speculator for the sake of it, not that there's anything wrong with it, but the rest of us live in a different world.
We buy homes to live in, or to have holidays in: we may well follow the property markets, but only marginally, the football results on a Saturday night are more important to us, or even the recent scandals on Eastenders.
Because of my personal circumstances, I'm a currency market addict. I've studied it in depth for years, and am I any the wiser?
Looking less likely than a year ago, but things may change after the German elections in September.
Rocker – You would be surprised to learn given your comments that many investors/speculators made a decent living from property and some still do in other parts of the world. I have now retired largely because of the recession and the fact the world has completely changed. However I still try to keep up to date and in touch with market conditions.
Another current major factor in the ever declining Spanish market is it's impossible to see the exit routes. In a normal market investors need the confidence if they buy property it can be turned over in a reasonable time span.
Until that confidence returns investment from speculators will stay away. Perhaps you believe that's no bad thing but any market needs diverse activity otherwise it becomes seriously dysfunctional. Spain's market is just that. Holiday homers alone will not cut it.
Market speculators in any sector are blamed for so many ills but in reality they are an essential part of the system of capitalism.
Logan I completely agree there. They get blamed for the normal business cycles booms and busts that is built into the system as we have it.

View EWB-RHIT Ghana in a larger map
In 2008, we completed our second implementation trip to Obodan, Ghana in order to hep improve the brooder house and continue working on the training/community center started earlier.
The first project of OSUDEC was to build a training center and construction began in 2004. Unfortunately, Bill Dickerson passed away shortly thereafter and the building was unable to be completed because he had been the primary source of financial support. This project involved designing the unfinished structure, the roof, and assessing the previously completed foundation and walls to ensure that this building will be able to serve the village for many generations. The hope is that this building will be a catalyst for the village, serving many needs for the village, from providing housing for Peace Corps volunteers to a center for education. The center will serve as a place for people to meet and learn about how to do their vocations better, in order to improve the overall quality of life in the village.
Business Plan for Poultry House
The brooder house that we designed and built in June 2006 had not generated the income or number of chickens that our EWB team and Dr. Akunz had projected. When we handed over the poultry house to the village their council of elders designated one of the village members to manage all aspects of running the poultry house, from purchasing and selling chickens to feeding and raising them. We believe that the poultry house has not met expectations because a viable business plan was not created. The village member managing it has not had formal training or past experience in small business management and he has been unable to create the amount of positive cash flow that was expected. The team investigated the problems encountered to date, and created an easy to understand business plan. While in country, the team was also able to make improvements to the building and worked with the community to select a new person to manage the brooder house after receiving the appropriate training. This person is currently serving as an apprentice at a nearby brooder house.

Q: Sorting cell text to cell ranges in excel, using macros Putting it in simple terms: I am looking for a code that puts the text from cell c3 into a range of cells from c5:c75.
For example in range(c5:c75), if the cells c5 and c6 already have text, I would want to fill the cell c7 with my text.
Another example is: if cells c5 and c7 have text but cell c6 doesn't have any text, I would like my text to go there.
Right now my code does not seems ideal, but it goes like this:
    Sub check text()
      'In range A1: =Countif(c5:c75;"<>"&"")
If Range("A1") = "0" Then
Range("c5") = Range("c3")

ElseIf Range("A1") = "1" Then
Range("c6") = Range("C3" )

ElseIf Range("A1") = "2" Then
Range("C7") = Range("c3")

'And it keeps going until:

ElseIf Range("A1") = "74" then
Range("c75") = Range("c3")

ElseIf Range("A1") = "75" then
Msgbox("range is full")

End if

The problem is the massive size of it, and for it stops working if I have a empty cell between cells with text. For example, if cell c5 has text, cell c6 is empty and cell c7 has text. The code wont work.
Thanks for the time ;-)

A: Looping through all of the cells looking for a blank seems like a lot of work when all of the blanks or the first blank can be retrieved with the Range.SpecialCells method using the xlCellTypeBlanks xlCellType Enumeration.
With Worksheets("sheet1")
    With .Range("C5:C75")
        If Not .SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks) Is Nothing Then
            .SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).Cells(1) = .Parent.Range("C3").Value
        Else
            Msgbox("range is full")
        End If
    End With
End With

That will locate the first blank cell in the C5:C75 range and fill it with the value from C3.

- Working groups on the strategy and products of the project.
The main themes and objectives of the project are to develop the context of the clubs and youth in decision making, and to promote partnership in an international aspect.
This meeting is implemented as a first of two which are in a close time gap. The intention was to create a learning block with precise and exact time frame, deadlines and goal setting in order to optimize planning, learning capacity and delivery of outputs.


I arrived at KJLY January 1st, of 2006. I believe it was the hand of God that opened the door to grant me the desire of my heart, to return to full time Christian Radio Ministry. I feel that these last eleven years at KJLY have been some of the most exciting years of my ministry. I love following the leading of the Lord, and being a part of the tapestry that the Lord would weave through KJLY's broadcast ministry. It has also been my privilege to travel to various Churches in the listening area, singing and sharing my passion for this Christian Radio Ministry, and how God uses us to bless the listeners.
By way of introduction, I was born at an Air Force base in Puerto Rico and was raised in Northeastern Ohio between Akron and Cleveland. I accepted the Lord as my Savior in my sophomore year of high school. I graduated from high school in 1973 and received a call into full time ministry. I attended North Central University in Minneapolis. It was at North Central where I met my wife, Jan (from Granton, Wisconsin) and was later married in May of 1975.
Since leaving college in January of 1978, I have served as an associate pastor in 4 churches (Neillsville, WI – Rochelle, IL – Carlinville, IL – and Rochester, MN) was a senior pastor in 2 churches (Gibson City, IL and Red Wing, MN) and have served at 3 Christian Radio stations as an on-air announcer, music director, program director or station manager (WQFL – Rockford, IL, WBGL – Champaign, IL, and WIBI – Carlinville, IL). I have also traveled to various churches in the listening area doing Radio Rallies, preaching, singing and fund raising.
We have two grown children – Kevin and Kelly. Both are graduates of Dover-Eyota High School in Minnesota and the Rockford Master's Commission Discipleship program in Illinois. My son works in the mail department at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN., and my daughter is para-professional at Kasson Mantorville Schools. We also have a beautiful Golden Retriever named Cooper.
I love sports. I am a Cleveland Sports fanatic – Indians #1, then Browns and Cavaliers. It is very therapeutic for me to attend as many games as possible. I also enjoy all the Minnesota sports teams. My wife, Jan loves music, playing flute and piano, reading and doing crafts.
I thank the Lord for KJLY, and for how He uses the station to make an impact on lives of people each and every day.

The post about Fred Astaire's dark-make-up-assisted homage to tap-dancing legend Bill Robinson in "Swing Time" was incomplete, both historically and ethically. This post should remedy that.
The dance number in question, "Bojangles of Harlem," was, as I wrote in the introduction, Fred's homage to two great black tap dancers who were teachers and inspirations for him, Bill "Bojangles" Robinson and John Bubbles. The post explained why the salute to Robinson was important, but did not elaborate more on Bubbles. He was not as big a star as Robinson nor as well known, either at the time of the film or ever, and is less remembered today. Nevertheless he was an important cultural figure, and it can be argued that Astaire's number was really more of a tribute to Bubbles than Robinson, not that many noticed.
We recently came through the usual Halloween bag of "blackface" controversies, and Ethics Alarms, as it has before, tried to guide the discussion to the material distinctions that social justice warriors, who strategically deal in absolutes when seeking power through real and contrived offense, refuse to acknowledge or are intellectually incapable of doing so. The short version of the Ethics Alarms message: make-up for legitimate theatrical purposes isn't "blackface," isn't "racist," and shouldn't be object of knee jerk condemnation based on emotion or ignorance.
Today Turner Movie Classics showed "Swing Time," the 1936 musical that is probably the high water mark in the Ginger Rogers-Fred Astaire canon. It has the best song ("The Way You Look Tonight"), the best novelty scene (Astaire pretending to be a klutz in a dance lesson with Ginger, then shocking her and her boss—and saving her job— by showing "what a great teacher she is" by dancing, well, like Fred Astaire) and arguably two of the best dances by the two, "Never Gonna Dance" and "Waltz in Swing Time." The film also contains a controversial "blackface" number, "Bojangles of Harlem," in which Fred pays homage to two great black tap dancers who were teachers and inspirations for him, Bill "Bojangles" Robinson and John Bubbles. Local TV stations have long been reluctant to show "Swingtime" because of guaranteed complaints that the number is racist, or, if they cut the number (which is unconscionable), complaints pour in from film and Astaire fans that they have defaced a classic out of misplaced political correctness.
To all of those waiting to have their Comments of the Day posted, all I can say is that I'm sorry, and that I'm having trouble getting my own posts up lately. The languishing COTDS will appear in unpredictable order, but they will appear.
Extradimensional Cephalopod had, as usual, fascinating observations to convey on the question of the importance of cultural literacy I raised based on a reference to "Alice in Wonderland." I don't agree with his position–some cultural scaffolding is permanent, and must be—but it's well worth pondering.
Incidentally, a majority of those answering the main poll recognized the quotes, which cheered and surprised me. As for the complaint that the second poll was limited to parents, that was the point. Do parents pass along cultural touch points like Lewis Carroll? Do the schools? That poll was for parents.
I'm eventually planning to write an article about this sort of thing. It's essentially a concern that we'll all end up like Ozymandias. (Cultural references can help compress concepts into easily transmissible packages, for better or worse, case in point.) For now, since I don't have much time tonight, these somewhat disjointed thoughts will have to do.
Is the ultimate fate of all classics to become footnote? To a large extent, yes. As Nassim Nicholas Taleb would put it, fame is in Extremistan. For comparison, Mediocristan is the domain of physical properties, which often follow a normal distribution (e.g. most people are average height, and there are fewer and fewer people at heights that vary more and more in either direction from the average). Fame, however, doesn't do that. Necessarily you have many people who are known by few and the people with the most fame are few in number.
I am increasingly depressed by the widespread cultural illiteracy of the public, and not just the younger generations. I do believe it is an ethics issue, because, as Prof Hersch wrote decades ago, a lack of historical and cultural perspective makes competent citizenship, critical thinking and effective participation in society difficult if not impossible. It is a life skill that we all are ethically obligated to acquire, and that society is obligated to help us acquire for its own health and survival.
It suddenly occurred to me, with horror, that a majority of the public probably can't identify the origin of those quotes. I wonder how many Ethics Alarms readers can. Here's a couple of surveys/poll. No cheating, now. You're on an ethics blog.
Then consider the 10 questions below.
Luke Gibbs' wife, Rachel, mother of two, was rendered permanently vegetative after a go-kart accident at a Michigan amusement park, the Family Fun Center, near Grand Rapids. A long scarf she was wearing got caught in one of the go-kart's axles, snapping her windpipe.
She is now in a long-term care center southwest of London. Her husband is certain that this would never have occurred in England, because the country has more regulations. "There's no agency in the United States that can say to my children, who are American citizens, this is the way in which we worked to protect your mother and keep her safe," he said. "I'm confident that accident would not have happened here, part because I think we have more stringent regulation," he added.
Parks are exempted from federal regulation, leaving supervision to the vagaries of the states, and six have no oversight: Alabama, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, Wyoming and Utah. In the early 1980s, park operators successfully lobbied to shield amusement parks from federal oversight by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Starting in 1999, Senator Edward J. Markey sought to mandate federal oversight, but Disney successfully lobbied against it, along with its competitors.
They argued that the federal regulation was not necessary. Industry studies say there is only a one in 17 million chance of injury at fixed-site parks. The safety commission estimates there were 29,400 amusement ride injuries requiring emergency treatment last year at all types of parks, including inflatable attractions and even coin-operated rides at shopping malls.
Mobile parks with rides that can be moved, like carnivals and state fairs, are not exempted from federal regulation.


The only thing Rand Paul has going for him is that, perhaps at one time, this incredibly silly man was inspired by the divine force known as Aqua Buddha. Whenever I think of those two words, I always picture Sean Penn's character Spicoli from Fast Times At Ridgemont High saying them. When Rand Paul speaks, he sounds like a Rockville, Maryland, stoner. Rand Paul's tragic "I'm late for a Flock Of Seagulls concert!" hair style will not allow me to take him seriously. The guy from Depeche Mode is holding on line one and wants his hair returned right now.
Free market, dude! There's no such thing. There's no free anything, not lunch, not an invasion of Iraq, not one damn item. If Rand Paul wins a Senate seat, which he very well may, Kentucky will find out very quickly how free the market isn't. His desperate flailing against Jack Conway over the weekend when he claimed his opponent had insulted his religion was transparent pandering to the base. Rand Paul claims to be a "pro-life Christian." If he had said he was a "pro-life Aqua Buddhist," I would have sent him a copy of Robin Trower's Bridge Of Sighs album as a campaign contribution. Duuuuuude!!!In my mind I see a scene out of film that will never be made. Rand Paul stares at Jack Conway, loosens his tie, raises it to his forehead, and tightens it around his skull with the knot on the side, his New Wave curls bunching up ever so slightly. He says, "Jack Conway, you have offended my village, you have offended my people, you have offended Aqua Buddha." He then strikes the pose that Ralph Macchio did in the showdown scene in The Karate Kid. Jack Conway starts laughing to the point of tears and walks off the stage, leaving Rand Paul standing on one foot, arms suspended. Weeks later, everyone votes appropriately. Kentucky gets a new Senator and Las Vegas gets a new double act of Rand Paul and Christine O'Donnell that works a half-filled room five nights a week doing the old Louis Prima/Keely Smith book. I wonder how the free market would treat that one.


I was Director of Anti-Slavery International, the oldest international human rights organisation in the world, from 2006 to 2017. During my time there our achievements have included: holding the state of Niger to account in an international court for failing to protect its citizens from slavery; the introduction of a new statute to British law proscribing forced labour and changing British common law to protect the rights of victims of trafficking; working with the British Government to have a special UN rapporteur on slavery appointed; working with the International Trades Union Confederation to have new international laws established on forced labour, and decent work for domestic workers; and the exposure of slavery in the manufacture of garments for Western high street brands; and the recognition of forced marriage as slavery in the International Labour Organization's 2017 estimates of global slavery. We also played a leading role in the inclusion of victim protection and supply chain transparency measures in the UK Modern Slavery Act (2015).
In 2007 I was the first person to raise the imperative of making slavery eradication a post-2015 development goal, and was a lone voice on the issue until Pope Francis took it up in 2013. This led to its inclusion as an important target in the Global Goals.
Before joining Anti-Slavery International, I worked for over 13 years in humanitarian response, development and human rights. This included periods in Ethiopia and Eritrea working on rural water supply and soil conservation, and Afghanistan, in the months before the Taliban takeover, where I worked on emergency water supply in the displaced persons camps outside Jalalabad. I spent five years in Angola at the end of the civil war managing an emergency relief programme for over a quarter of a million people in the besieged cities of the interior as well as working with the UN on human rights protection of civilians from military excesses. That is where my hair first turned grey.
In 2010 I completed my doctorate, a work of moral philosophy and social science, on ethical choice making in professional practice.
Oh – and I won Mastermind in 2013, specialist subjects: Michael Collins, the novels of Dennis Lehane, and Abraham Lincoln.
My first novel, The Undiscovered Country, is forthcoming from Unbound in 2020, and I'm currently working on my second, tentatively entitled Some Service To The State.


A representative of Donald Trump's company is now walking back a lawyer's suggestion that Trump may sue the New York Times following what the candidate felt was a hit piece about him.
The failing @nytimes is greatly embarrassed by the totally dishonest story they did on my relationship with women.
Tuesday, the Trump Organization's executive vice president said the Times owes Trump an apology. However, Michael Cohen said they are not likely to sue over it.
CNN reported, Monday, that a lawyer for the Trump Organization said a lawsuit was a possibility.
Cohen said it's a "very high bar" to jump to win a suit against the paper. But, Cohen does want the paper to retract the story which includes accounts from a former girlfriend of Trump's who says the story was "very upsetting." Rowanne Brewer Lane said the paper told her the story would be different but she feels it was a hit piece.
RELATED: Trump's women problem: Does it make him unelectable?
The Times is standing behind the story.
The kerfuffle over newspaper sourcing also hit The Washington Post, Monday, when Trump's former rival, Marco Rubio, unleashed a series of tweets accusing the paper of using quotes from unnamed sources who simply made up their comments.

Q: Why does $10 \choose 7$ work in this case? On a $10$ question true/false test, if the questions are answered at random, what is the probability of answering exactly $7$ questions correctly?
I see how $10 \choose 7$ would be choosing $7$ correct answers from $10$ possible answers, but how do I account for the $3$ false answers?

A: What you actually do is to choose $7$ correct answers from the $10$ and choose $3$ incorrect answers for the remaining $3$. Hence, we get $\binom{10}{7} \binom{3}{3} = \binom{10}{7}$.

A: $\dbinom{10}{3}$ would be choosing 3 incorrect answers from the 10 possible answers. So the remaining 7 possible answers must be chosen correctly. In general, $\dbinom{n}{r} = \dbinom{n}{n-r}$.

A: You want to accomplish three things:

*

*Choose 7 questions. ($\binom{10}{7}$ ways)

*Answer those 7 correctly. (probability $0.5$ for each)

*Answer the remaining questions incorrectly. (probability $0.5$ for each)

Notice you don't need to pick the three incorrect answers. You are simply making sure that, once you've answered 7 correctly, all remaining questions are false.
Multiplying all that information together gives you a probability of
$$
\binom{10}{7}(0.5)^7(0.5)^3.
$$

The Star Wars Blu-Ray Changes (So Far)
As an addendum to my post yesterday about the leaked Star Wars Blu-Rays (now confirmed by Lucasfilm to be legit), I present to you a by no means definitive and certainly not comprehensive list of changes made to the original films for this release as noticed by other viewers. No, I have not seen the full Blu-Ray leaks myself. I've just been lurking Star Wars message boards and making note every time someone posts about a new alteration. My guess is we won't be aware of every single update or "correction" until after the physical release on 9/16.
– droid escape pod now emits heat trails
– extra moisture vaporators CGI'd into Tatooine
– new Krayt dragon roar
– jagged rock CGI'd in front of R2-D2 in the Krayt dragon scene
– Han and Greedo shoot at the same time in the Cantina
– most of blue tint on Hoth erased
– most of puppeteer's arm erased from Wampa attack
– extra flames aded to probe droid crater
– new establishing shot outside Jabba's palace
– prequel creature wandering around inside Jabba's palace
– CGI do-over of Han Solo's carbonite de-freezing
– blinking Ewoks
– CGI do-over of R2-D2's malfunction on Endor
– Darth Vader whining "NOOO!" in Emperor's throne room
As previously noted, issues with lightsaber color and various audio bugs from the 2004 DVDs have apparently carried over. Per the former, it's my understanding that while the most egregious lightsaber errors were touched up, the majority of weird colors remain throughout the trilogy.
Sigh. When the fuck does Skatetown, U.S.A. come out on Blu-Ray? I wanna roller boogie my pain away.

Lucasfilm Confirms Further Fiddling On Star Wars Blu-Rays [UPDATED]
The Internet exploded like the goddamn Death Star yesterday when the Blu-Ray editions of Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi allegedly leaked two and a half weeks ahead of their official release date. Excitement quickly turned to vitriol as fans laid eyes on the latest round of revisions supposedly implemented by the ever-finicky George Lucas—the most controversial of which found Darth Vader making a dubious callback during Return of the Jedi's climax to his embarrassing final bellow in 2005's Revenge of the Sith. Furious Wampa jockeys began canceling their Blu-Ray pre-orders en masse, but some doubt remained. Was this leaked footage realer than Real Deal Holyfield, or was it complete bupkis?
The latter seemed possible, as much of what we were seeing on these alleged rips did not offer the color or audio corrections Lucasfilm had promised for the Blu-Rays. I mean, come on, would our cherised special effects wizards really waste their time giving the Ewoks digital eyelids and painting in singular rocks only to ignore the much larger tinting and sound problems that plagued the 2004 DVD releases? Don't you think they would have spent the past seven years making sure Luke Skywalker's lightsaber is blue in every single frame of the first Star Wars as opposed to preventing Ewok Restasis?
As it turns out, the probable answers to those questions are, in order, "LOL, fuck yeah!" and "LOL, fuck no!" New York Times Arts Beat writer Dave Itzkoff got ahold of someone at Lucasfilm this morning who confirmed, at the very least, that Vader's "NOOO!" is now a part of Return of the Jedi. Where there's smoke, there's generally fire. Thus, I think we can assume everything else we're seeing is legit. From what I understand, it's relatively impossible to fake the quality on display in some of these clips, and Digital Bits Editor Bill Hunt did tell us two weeks ago after attending a semi-clandestine Star Wars press junket that the Blu-Rays would offer "a few new 'surprises'" (none of which he could elaborate upon at the time).
Welcome to 2011. Ewoks can now blink, R2-D2 has gained the ability to pass through solid matter, the original unaltered trilogy continues to languish in non-anamorphic DVD hell, and Darth Vader is officially King of the Grumpy Man-Children. Have a nice day!
I'll try to post a semi-comprehensive list of all the Blu-Ray changes I've read about for the OT later on (EDIT: Done!). Right now, I have to go clean the dried vomit out of my Chewbacca costume. Thankfully it's a rent-to-own deal, so I'm not in too much trouble. Wookiee fur isn't supposed to be effortlessly clean and well-groomed anyway, right?
UPDATE: Lucasfilm has now confirmed all the Star Wars Blu-Ray changes we've been kvetching about. Quoteth the Phantom PR Rep, "We hope fans will wait to see for themselves how they fit into the Saga before making any judgments." Bantha poodoo. Guess this means, in turn, all the color/sound mistakes present in the leaks are totes legit as well. Again I say Bantha poodoo.

Taco Bell Menu Prices 2020 – Learn More..
For many years, Taco Bell's delicious vegetarian menu items have been one of the best kept secrets for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. Beginning Thursday, the company which has proudly offered great tasting vegetarian options for a while, will launch a not-so-new "new" vegetarian menu nationwide for the first time ever. With 13 great tasting menu items offered at a lot more than 7,000 participating restaurants, taco bell menu prices continues to lead the way with a meaningful vegetarian menu and remains committed to making the things more accessible by including them on a permanent menu board.

Beginning Thursday, the company which includes proudly offered great tasting vegetarian options for quite a while, will launch a not-so-new "new" vegetarian menu nationwide the first time ever. With 13 great tasting menu items available at a lot more than 7,000 participating restaurants, Taco Bell continues to lead just how with a meaningful vegetarian menu and stays dedicated to making the things more accessible by including them over a permanent menu board.
The "new" menu will feature some exciting items that are all *American Vegetarian Association (AVA)-certified (see full details below), like the Black Bean Crunchwrap Supreme and Black Bean Quesarito as well as the classic 7-Layer Burrito and Bean Burrito. In addition to these four items, fans can find another nine bold, flavorful vegetarian items sprinkled throughout the larger menu, all indicated by a simple-to-spot vegetarian symbol for consumers.
"At Taco Bell, we know that vegetarian food shouldn't become a compromise; it shouldn't be restricted to one item, plus it shouldn't be just for vegetarians," says Liz Matthews, taco bell specials Global Chief Food Innovation Officer. "For a long time, we've consistently proven that our vegetarian menu alternatives are so craveable that even non-vegetarians unknowingly go veggie since they just love the flavour. We're focused on building about this insight and plan to further innovate within this growing space."
The brand continues to be quietly championing vegetarian items for a long time, and made history in 2015 by becoming the foremost and only quick service restaurant certified from the American Vegetarian Association. That's right – today's Taco Bell has greater than a dozen easy-to-spot certified vegetarian options that feel less like a meatless sacrifice and a lot more like food you really want to eat.
While Taco Bell loves its limited time releases (hello, Toasted Cheddar Chalupa), vegetarian at Taco Bell is no passing fancy. You will find 36 certified vegetarian ingredients (26 which are vegan) that can be customized more than 8 million ways. These ingredients, coupled with this not-so-new "new" menu, highlight how delicious, affordable vegetarian alternatives are a menu standard today and every other day of year.
Actually, ordering vegetarian at Taco Bell is usually a complete accident – one which fans can be proud to make again and again. Long-time fans might not even realize their go-to orders are vegetarian (hello again, Bean Burrito). Let it sit to Taco Bell to make the best things available to all and give reasons for the accidental vegetarian, and those who live life on the "veg" daily, to love the vegetarian food they eat.
The menu debut follows a successful test in Dallas, Texas, earlier this coming year, as well as the launch is going to be combined with the brand's first-ever vegetarian digital campaign that will have jptvzv the ultimate meat-lover questioning, "Am I a vegetarian?"
*American Vegetarian Association certified Vegetarian food items, are lacto-ovo, allowing consumption of dairy and eggs but not animal byproducts. Vegetarian and meat ingredients are handled in common, and cross contact may occur, which may not acceptable to certain types of vegetarian diets. Neither taco bell hours of operation, our employees, franchisees nor the AVA assume any responsibility for such cross contact.
