Will Miami-Dade Move Urban Development Boundary For Industrial Park By Homestead Base?
Miami-Dade County's new political landscape faces a familiar controversy in the coming weeks: whether to "hold the line" on urban expansion or allow millions of square feet of new development to take over existing farmland.
A push by developers to expand Miami-Dade's Urban Development Boundary for a project near the Homestead Air Reserve Base is making its way to a county commission where six of the 13 members are newcomers.
The administration of the county's new mayor, Daniella Levine Cava, is urging the commission to reject the application by developers Stephen Blumenthal, Jose Hevia and others for what would be Miami-Dade's largest industrial park — a 9-million-square-foot complex south of the Florida Turnpike, by Southwest 286th Street.
"If approved as filed, the application would encourage the proliferation of urban sprawl," read an Aug. 13 report from Miami-Dade's Regulatory and Economic Resources Department, which houses the land-planning and zoning divisions.
After winning a vote before a community planning board, the proposed South Dade Logistics and Technology District industrial park faces a hearing before the countywide Planning Advisory Board on Wednesday, Aug. 25, at 10 a.m. in the Stephen P. Clark Center at 111 NW 1st St., Miami. After that, the proposal heads to the county commission for a preliminary vote that's expected on Sept. 9. If it passes then, a final commission vote would follow a state review of the proposal.

Backers call the industrial center and the projected 8,000 jobs there a lifestyle changer for South Miami-Dade, since it would provide the suburban region with an employment center and spare workers from long commutes to find decent-paying employment in the northern part of the county.
"It is time for this area to get jobs, and allow people to have quality of life," resident Lourdes Rodriguez, wearing a white Bring the Jobs! T-shirt, said at a planning board meeting Monday night dedicated to the proposed project. "It's not enough to just say: go north for an hour."
That session before the South Bay Community Council ended in a unanimous vote in favor of expanding the development boundary to allow for construction of the new complex.
"I travel in the traffic every single day," council member Christina Farias said. "I definitely look forward to this project."
The county report states the project would bring industrial space that the southern portion of the county doesn't need, since there's enough within the development zone to last through 2040.
The nearly 800-acre site is designed to be a distribution hub for Home Depot and other retailers supplying the fast-growing South Miami-Dade, and would double the region's existing supply of industrial space.
Commissioners last moved the Urban Development Boundary in 2013, when they approved expanding to include about 500 acres near Doral that were already surrounded by buildings in what planners considered a "donut hole" of development restrictions that needed to be eliminated.
The Urban Development Boundary, often called the "UDB," represents a growth barrier separating land allowed for dense housing and commercial uses, including shopping centers and warehouse districts, and rural land reserved for farming and houses with significant land between them. It's also considered a protection tool for the Everglades and the agriculture industry.
Miami-Dade's growth rules call for the UDB to expand once the county runs out of land inside it for homes and commercial projects. The proposed project sits on land designated as an area slated for expansion of the UDB once the county is ready for more development sites.
While county planners say land inventory for single-family homes is running out within the development zone, they predict the southern part of Miami-Dade won't need new acreage for commercial projects through 2040. Should the proposed project get built, planners say the region would have more than a 100-year supply of industrial land.
Advocates behind the project, which includes plans for a 150-room hotel, argue the county's analysis ignores the need for more employment centers in South Miami-Dade and relies too much on commuting patterns that residents in the area dislike.
"Our focus here is on local conditions," said Andrew Dolkart, an economic consultant working for the developers. "South Miami-Dade residents are stuck with long commutes because so much of the county's decent-paying jobs are in the north but affordable housing is easier to find in the south. Most people live where they can find something they can afford."
A developer presentation showed the 800-acre project producing Miami-Dade's largest industrial park, compared to about 600 acres at the Sawgrass Corporate Park and nearly 500 acres at Beacon Lakes.
Environmental groups are leading the fight against the project, warning it will disrupt efforts to prevent harmful groundwater run-off into Biscayne Bay from adjoining canals that are already a source of fertilizer pollution from the tree farms that are there now.
"The project could doom efforts to fix a canal system "causing havoc on the quality of these ecosystems," the Everglades Coalition said in an Aug. 23 letter.
They're also warning the land is too low for a major new industrial complex and will be enveloped by rising sea levels. That's a problem developers say they're addressing by elevating streets and buildings, with some floors set to be built nine feet above the ground.
The county report warned "neighboring properties could face flooding risks from the applicant's elevation," worsening the threat from sea level rise in an area already designated a Coastal High Hazard area. That was the complaint from Mark Hall, who lives near the farms that would be converted to an industrial park under the proposal.
"We need that land to absorb all the water that comes down with the rain," Hall told the South Bay council.

RED BANK: CARLO'S OWNER BUSTED FOR DWI
'Cake Boss' Buddy Valastro at the opening of Carlo's Bake Shop in Red Bank a year ago. (Click to enlarge)
Buddy Valastro, star of TVs's Cake Boss and owner of the year-old Carlo's Bake Shop in Red Bank, was arrested on drunken driving charges in New York City early Thursday, according to media reports.
NJ.com, quoting prosecutors at Valastro's arraignment Thursday evening, reports that Valastro told cops, "You can't arrest me! I'm the Cake Boss!"
From NJ.com:
Police spotted Valastro's 2014 yellow Chevy Corvette swerving in and out of his lane on 10th Avenue, according to authorities. Police said his face was flushed, and he was unsteady when he got out of his car.
He repeatedly told the police officers that they didn't need to arrest him, that they could work something out because he isn't "a bad guy," prosecutors said during the arraignment.
"Can you just put me in a cab?" he allegedly asked police. "You don't have to arrest me. I'm not a bad guy."
He also told police that he'd had "a couple of drinks" 30 to 40 minutes earlier, prosecutors said.
After the court appearance, he refused to speak to the horde of reporters stationed outside the courthouse. He and his attorney swiftly got into a black car and drove off. He didn't enter a plea and is due back in court on January 6. Until then, he is barred from driving in New York state.
Valastro later released a statement.
"To all my family, friends, fans and supporters, please know that I want to share and explain to you what happened today and I look forward to doing so at a later date," he said. "I appreciate your support and understanding as we handle things privately as a family."
The Daily News says Valasto is 37 and lives in Montville.

Děj
Dr. Sugarman, přednosta katedry fyziky na Newyorské univerzitě obdrží dopis od jistého Julia Gomeze, 17letého umývače nádobí portorického původu v restauraci Porto Bello v New Yorku. V listině je uvedeno několik rovnic k jadernému výzkumu. Sugarman dopis odmítá jako malichernost, s níž nehodlá ztrácet čas, ale novinář Bill Vilchek jej otiskne v nedělní příloze novin Tribune.
Ihned po vydání k Vilchekovi do hotelového pokoje vtrhne kontradmirál MacDonald s ozbrojeným doprovodem a dožaduje se originálu. Považuje totiž rovnice za státní atomové tajemství a pátrá po možném úniku informací. Novinář je mu nápomocen při objasňování zvláštního případu. Gomez je z restaurace dopraven na oddělení kontrarozvědky. Zde vyjde najevo, že je skutečně autorem rovnic. Za asistence dr. Minese, vedoucího oddělení teoretické fyziky Komise pro atomovou energii začne pracovat na výpočtech pro jaderný výzkum. Uplatní svou genialitu, avšak jeho zápal a horlivé pracovní nasazení ho začíná fyzicky i psychicky vysilovat. Nepravidelně jí, téměř neodpočívá, až se jednoho dne zhroutí. Na radu Vilcheka se od práce oprostí, což nelibě nese zejména MacDonald.
Gomez se během pracovní pauzy ztratí z dohledu MacDonalda. Ožení se s Rosou, kolegyní z restaurace Porto Bello (zfalšuje svůj věk) a po návratu do práce zjistí, že všechny důležité výpočty a souvztažnosti zapomněl. Pro vládní potažmo vojenský výzkum ztrácí význam. Usadí se s Rosou v East Harlemu a za úspory koupí polovinu Porto Bella. Společně s manželkou a dětmi žije až do věku 39 let, kdy umírá na zápal plic. Vilchek tuší, že Julio žádné rovnice nikdy nezapomněl. A jen Julio věděl, jaké tajemství – možná i děsivé – bylo nutno zatajit.

Ledgers and Law: Start With an Ending in Mind When Building a New Business
Business Transactions | Tax | October 14, 2020
Kevin P. McCoy
Starting a business is not for the faint of heart. Your best chance at survival and success is to plan out the life cycle of your company from the beginning and how you are going to exit at the end. The decisions you make when starting a business will be critical to the success you enjoy or the disadvantages you may suffer. Barry Weins, a member of the professional practices group at Cherry Bekaert, discusses the long-term tax and legal implications entity selection can have on your company.
About Ledgers and Law: Lessons From the Trenches
Ledgers and Law: Lessons from the Trenches brings experienced business and legal leaders together to discuss current topics at the intersection of tax, law, and business. Ledgers and Law is co-hosted by Kevin McCoy, shareholder at Carlton Fields, and Chris Rux, Assurance Partner and Healthcare & Life Sciences Industry Practice Leader at Cherry Bekaert.
Kevin McCoy: Good afternoon. We're back. This is a podcast collaboration between Carlton Fields and Cherry Bekaert. We're bringing you episode two of some of the latest issues that are affecting our clients from an accounting and a legal perspective. I'm Kevin McCoy. I'm a shareholder in the Tampa office of Carlton Fields. And I have with us today Chris Rux and Barry Weins from Cherry Bekaert so Chris take it away with some introductions.
Chris Rux: Yes. Again, Chris Rux, an audit partner in our Tampa Bay practice for Cherry Bekaert. And we have Barry Weins who's one of our tax experts, also in our Tampa practice. And our goal here today is just discuss, you know, really when you're a start-up company, what type of, you know, issues should companies be considering as they, you know, navigate that world. So, Barry I don't know if you want to give just a quick overview of you and your practice?
Barry Weins: Sure, Chris. I'm a member of what we call the Professional Practices Group, so I serve as a resource for all of our offices in areas focusing on transactions, C-corps, S-corps, partnerships, things along those lines. So we do talk with a lot of clients about how to start out their business and the different options they have available to do it.
Chris Rux: So, perfect. Barry, that's a great segue. Could you maybe share with us a high-level discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of various types of what people need to think about? I'm thinking in terms of when they're ready to exist. So what decision do they need to make at the beginning in order to be successful at the end.
Barry Weins: Certainly Chris. Thanks. For the decision process really has to start at the very beginning. So you need to understand what's the life cycle of your project, your plan, your corporation, company, whatever and how are you going to exit at the end. Because sometimes the decisions we make at the beginning are critical as to the advantages or disadvantages we have on the back end planning. So you really need to stop and think what's going to happen at each of these different cycles at the start-up, as I raise additional capital and then ultimately on the exit. So generally there's two types of entities that we think of; you have a C-corp, which is a taxable entity in and of itself and then you have what we call pass-throughs. Pass-throughs can either be partnerships and S-corps and like the name what it means is all of the income is being reported at the individual owner's level. So the main disadvantage with the C-corp is that there's a double level of tax. So the C-corporation itself pays a level of taxes that earns the income and when it distributes those profits out to its shareholders their tax generally is dividends. So you have two layers of tax. With pass-throughs, generally there's only one layer of tax. So the tax is at the individual level, it's not necessarily at the entity level. Then the distributions can be taken on a tax-free basis because the tax has already been paid on that. So the levels of tax are the main difference and where it gets taxed.
The rate of tax is obviously a difference, too. Inside a C-corp, right now it's 21% plus state. And then when it's distributed out to the shareholders it's a potential another 20% tax. With pass-throughs right now if you qualify as a qualified trader business under what we call Section 199A you get a 20% reduction and in essence in your tax rate bringing the top tax rate for an individual from 37 down to 29.6. So if you're looking at 29.6 versus 21 and then the exit, the other advantages on a pass-through generally on an exist, you could get as low as 20% tax rate. So there are some different tax savings and it's a question of cash flow in the interim versus exit tragedy and the level of tax there.
Chris Rux: So Barry, what if a company makes a mistake and we're kind of past that initial stage? Is there flexibility in terms of changing an entity type prior to exit in order to have more tax savings?
Barry Weins: Sometimes. [laughs] You know, there's not a definite answer, there is some flexibility. However, moving from a partnership to an S-corp or a C-corp, is generally a taxfree transaction. Going from an S-corp to C-corp is generally also a tax free transaction. Moving out of a C-corp into an S-corp you can generally do that. There are some issues with what we call built-in gains, but after a five-year period those go away. But you cannot go from a C-corp to a partnership. That can be a very expensive transaction and it's very hard to do. So if you're uncertain generally start out as a partnership because we can move easily into the other type of entities if - at the different times you get different funding levels, you know, those investors may want different things. So if you're going to start out and you're not quite sure a pass-through is sort of, as a partnership, is generally going to be the safest place to start.
Kevin McCoy: Barry, when you first described the C-corp I was struggling to find any advantages as you were describing. You had me at double taxation as quite a turn-off. What would be a consideration that someone would put in to a potential advantage of a C-corp? Because I didn't hear many there.
Barry Weins: [laughs] If you have international operations there are some advantages but there's another code section that we refer to as Section 1202 and if you can obtain 1202 status for your C-corp then there's a significant benefit and elimination of some that double taxation. What the Section 1202 does is if you qualify then when you sell the stock of your C-corp, you can exclude from income up to $10 million or ten times your cost basis. So if you put in less than $1 million I can exclude up to $10 million from tax, zero tax. If I put in more than $1 million dollars I would multiply that by ten. So $2 million investment times ten is a $20 million exclusion of gain from tax. So that is very powerful and even dealing with an exit tragedy where you do an asset deal to give the benefit for the buyers you then can wind up limiting yourself to only one level of tax inside the corporation at 21% which means equivocal to the exit on a pass-through. If you can fall into that window then C-corps look very attractive because they also have a lower tax rate on your cash flow that you're generating from operations during the interim.
Kevin McCoy: Does the size of the company factor into any of these decisions? I mean, you know, I think a lot of the time we're dealing with folks who start off as just "this is an idea" they go through the, you know, validation process and then into growth and then they get bigger. But say you're coming in with an established business. How does the size of the company impact this analysis from a tax perspective?
Barry Weins: So from a 1202 perspective, so this really good benefit, the company has to be less than $50 million and there's a couple different tests on the $50 million. Some are based on a value and some are based on what's your historical costs basis for the assets. So assuming we're talking less than $50 million then either one we can start out as, it's not really dependent. It's if you're over $50 million and you want some of these other benefits then, you know, a corporation as you said you've got the double level of tax, you're not going to get the 1202 benefit and you really then need to just figure out what the economics of the transaction are.
Chris Rux: So Barry, regarding this 1202 benefit, as you mentioned before the safest way to start is just a pass-through entity. If you convert to a C-corp, can you still get that 1202 benefit? Because it seems pretty powerful on an exit.
Barry Weins: You're correct, is it very powerful. But one of the requirements for the exit in order to take advantage of this is you have to have held the "stock" for more than five years. If you're a pass-through, the time period that you own it prior to it converting to a C-corp will not count. And we have to be careful in the manner in which we convert you from a pass-through to the C-corp in order to make sure you qualify but then you have a five year holding period. So that's the only disadvantage of starting as a pass-through is that time that you're a pass-through does not count toward that five year requirement. And that's really one of the biggest challenges with 1202 stock is you don't know when that exit is going to be. When is that buyer going to show up, when is your product or service going to be ready to really monetize that? Before five years you're out of luck. Once you get pass that five years then you wind up with a benefit. Not only that, that benefit only is available individual so if you have corporate owners they're not going to get to take advantage of that. So you can have both pass-throughs and C-corps, the entity selection type will have a different tax impact depending on the different types of owners you have.
Kevin McCoy: Can you just explain that a little more Barry? In terms of the types of - what do you mean by the types of owners, if you can give us an example?
Barry Weins: Sure. So, if I have a C-corp and let's say I have individuals or trust or pass-throughs who own it and they owned it more than five years and everything qualifies, they can take a benefit of 1202. A corporate owner who owns the stock does not get any benefits. So they could wind up with the double taxation or they could wind up being taxed on the sale while other shareholders may not. And because of the five year requirement you could have shareholders coming in after the date that don't qualify. So the 1202 is particular to a shareholder, it's not particular to the company.
Kevin McCoy: Do any of these decisions lend themselves more to one industry type versus another? Or is this just general across the board? It doesn't matter if you're selling, building widgets, or you're selling services, or somewhere in between.
Barry Weins: So I would say generally if you're dealing with real estate those are almost always in pass-throughs. Real estate inside C-corps is not a good idea. If it's part of the operating business that's a different story but if it's a pure real estate deal those are always partnerships because of a lot of different reasons and the flexibility we have with structuring the economic arrangement. Other than that, it's all going to depend on the type of business, your investors, what they desire. We have a lot of people who say "Oh, I need to start as a C-corp because investors later on are going to demand it." Well that's true in some cases but in some cases they want pass-throughs. If I start as a pass-through and get an investor who wants me to be a C-corp I can switch to accommodate them at the time of the transaction and I'm not penalized before that. So, again, that's why sometimes starting as a pass-through gives you a lot more flexibility for what's going on beyond that.
Chris Rux: Yeah, Barry, I think that the crux here is really knowing what your business plan is and really looking out on the horizon because as you've mentioned with 1202 that five years and a day really prevents you from having the benefit there. I guess what recommendations would you have other than starting as a pass-through to companies as they're considering how they structure their company and what they think their exit may be?
Barry Weins: Well, really the first thing we like to say is don't let the tax tale wag the dog. So you need to figure out what are the economics of your deal. Who is going to be investing, where are you getting your source of funds, am I going to be generating a lot of losses early on? Because those losses can then shelter income but inside of C-corp there's rules as I add more and more owners. So there's a lot of different rules that come into play and while in general we would say, you know, a pass-through kind of gives you more flexibility, it doesn't mean it's the right answer in every circumstance. It's really a facts and circumstances test. Figure out what the economics are, who your investors are, who they're going to be, what type of returns are they looking to, what flexibilities do you need? And that's really what should be driving this, is what makes sense from an economic perspective and then figure out can I enhance the economics through tax planning?
Chris Rux: Got you. Now that makes complete sense. Kevin, do you have any thoughts from a legal stand point? Obviously we're focusing on tax structuring here but what have you seen in your practice that impacts the structuring piece of this?
Kevin McCoy: Well, you know, I usually encounter it on the back end because I don't do transactional work but I see it on the back end when there is a partnership dispute. There's a logjam of partners and no one can figure out who has the majority or they're deadlocked. And so those present their own challenges. Obviously, if you can have more freedom in the, you know, what I'll call the pass-through, partnership, type arrangement and you trust the people that you're doing business with, that's great. And you don't have to deal with some of the administrative and overhead levels of bureaucracy that maybe come with a C-corp arrangement. But, you know, it really depends on how closely do you trust your business partners and unfortunately by the time they get to me [laughs] they're usually nobody's trusting anybody and everybody's ready to duke it out. And I find that in the partnership scenario more often, you have people who are closer to the business, they are more emotionally invested in the business than when I represent a corporation. You know, maybe the people who are in management of the corporation, they didn't start the business, they aren't the founders, they're the next generation of management after a transaction. So they're not as emotionally invested but when I get into the disputes that are the original partners, it can be as bad as a marital breakup. You know, folks are fighting over, you know, in marriages they say people fight over the toaster you would be shocked at what people will hold out for in a business divorce among partners or an LLC or one of those types of arrangements. So, to me it really comes down to know who you're doing business with and that's a big driver, I think on the front end in terms of how you set this up, what protections are there, especially if you're doing a partnership deal. But then on the back end, like I said, by the time they get to me everybody's mad at everybody.
Chris Rux: Yeah. No, I think that's a very fair summary, is know who you're getting in bed with, if you will, and then also planning for that exit ahead of time so that there are no surprises and you don't have that marital breakup, if you will. Obviously, it may still happen but if you can put precautions in place from the get-go I think it would be very helpful.
Kevin McCoy: Yeah, you know, I'll add to that one other piece. I get this from people all the time who come to me and they say, "Listen, you know, this is an uncomfortable conversation. I've known this person my whole life, we're going to go into business together. I don't really want - I think they'll take offense to putting this in like I don't trust them." And my response to that always is you have the agreements and you have the provisions in the agreements not for right now; it's for when everything goes to hell. You know, you have contracts for the scenarios that are uncomfortable in the future. That's why you write it all out. And if you don't want to have those conversations now, that's fine, but if this plays out in the worst type way then you're going to be exposed. And nobody ever thinks that their business partner is going to do them wrong, or double cross, or cheat and steal, or anything else or take opportunities for themselves but it happens every single day and it happens every day to people who never saw it coming and it's because a lot of times they just didn't want to have those uncomfortable conversations on the front end. So, if there's a legal takeaway to today's discussion that's what I would say is, don't be afraid. If you're going to get into business with somebody, you know, be mature enough to have those hard conversations about what happens if everything goes bad.
Chris Rux: Yeah, I think that's a great point. And if you're unable to have those conversations with that person, then you might not really want to be in business with them in the first place.
Kevin McCoy: Yeah. Yeah.
Chris Rux: I think that's, you know, kind of wraps up what we, you know, wanted to cover today. You know, Kevin or Barry, do you have any final thoughts before we close this out?
Barry Weins: Now again, I think it's up-front planning. And as Kevin said, even for the bad situations, so you want to plan for the operational aspects and you want to plan for the tax aspects. So all of those go together. No one of them is going to drive or make the difference, but again this is a business. You have to make the business decision first and then layer in all these other things.
Kevin McCoy: Yeah. I think Barry said it about as well as you can say it.
Chris Rux: Fair enough. All right. Well, hey Barry, Kevin thank you for your time today, really appreciate it. I thought there were some really great insights and we'll follow up with more discussions as our audience would like.
Kevin McCoy: Yep. And for all of you listening you can find this content on the websites of Carlton Fields and Cherry Bekaert. And for those of you who are in the space looking to launch a business and get some free insights and some planning, Carlton Fields has a resource "Launch to Thrive" available that you can find free resources in terms of typical form documents and other things that may be useful as you're trying to get your arms around literally birthing a business and getting it off the ground in those initial stages. So, this has been a great discussion. We look forward to a next episode. So, Chris, Barry, thank you so much.
Chris Rux: Thank you.
Barry Weins: Thank you guys.
Kevin McCoy: All right.

Jade Goody dies
Harpal Kumar
Has Jade's story affected the way that people think about cancer?
We are very sad to hear of Jade's death and our thoughts are with her family and friends at this devastating time. Every single death from cancer is a tragedy, and cervical cancer claims the lives of around a thousand women – mothers, wives, sisters and daughters – each year in the UK.
Jade's brave, and very public, battle with an aggressive form of cervical cancer has received widespread media attention and encouraged thousands of women to seek advice about symptoms and screening.
I met Jade at our Pink Ice ball in 2007, and remember her as a vivacious and bubbly young woman. She could not have known then that her legacy would be great public service in raising awareness of the importance of cervical screening.
It is critical that young women take up their invitations for screening if we are to cut the death toll from cervical cancer. Last year, hundreds of thousands of women in the UK did not go for screening when they were invited.
Cancer Research UK is absolutely determined to reduce the number of people dying from all types of cancer. Through our ambitious 5-year strategy we aim to gain a better understanding of cancer, improve prevention and screening, diagnose cancer earlier and develop better treatments for the disease.
Together we will beat cancer.

The news about Jade stunned me and gave me a slap of reality. My cancer started out the same as hers and if I'd have done the same as her I'd be dead now.
Luckily I'm facing it head on (although tough some days) and although still fighting it I'm still alive :-)
Condolensces to all of jades family n friends x
Clare Riley April 1, 2009
I am 30 years old and after an incomplete Colposcopy and Leep Diathermy treatment, yesterday I underwent a cold knife biopsy and got home from hospital today.
It doesnt matter to me what anybody thinks about Jade and her publicity, if she manages to save 1 other life – who cares!
Libby April 1, 2009
just wanted to give my condolences to Jades Family who must be going through a tough time at the moment, Good luck and RIP
Joe and Beth March 31, 2009
Dear Harpal
We have noted with interest that The Sun are launching a jade green flower as their "memorial" to Jade (see http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/features/article2350948.ece). It costs £14.99 and £5 goes to MacMillan.
We see this as a perfect opportunity for J4J and CRUK to approach to one of their competitors (maybe The Mirror Group) with the jade ribbon idea as it offers a more visible, much more affordable (good during recession) alternative and also is not just for Jade but for all Cancer sufferers. Also, the ROI on the ribbons is much much higher and the potential money that could be generated for CRUK much greater.
Please let us know if you would like to discuss this further or if you would like us to make an initial approach.
We hope to hear from you soon.
Jane L March 29, 2009
It's nine long years since my sister died of cervical cancer and her anniversary was on 27th March. Living with the press attention of Jade's battle has been difficult for our family as it seemed to follow a similar path. My sister was diagnosed in the August and this evil disease took 7 long months to weaken her body to death, almost identical to Jade's situation. My sister was 42. It's easy for people to criticise Jade but anyone that has lost someone to Cervical Cancer will know that what you saw in the press wasn't showing much of the suffering that she must have gone through. Please, please let us see a sharp decline in this needless disease over the next generation. Peace be with you Brigid.
RIP Jade
John Taylor March 29, 2009
My deepest sympathy to Jade's family, because I know just what they must be going through after losing my eldest daughter,from Ovarian Cancer on 17th August 2001, leaving her husband, two daughters and one son.
Alas, I was and still am very bitter and saddened at not being allowed to participate in the 5K Race for Life, in 2002 and ever since, in memory of my daughter – with my wife, daughter, two granddaughters (who have lost their mum) togetherwith other granddaughers and female friends of the family…
When cancer affects all members of the family – male and female without discrimination, I think the 5K Race for Life should become a 'family fun run' What do people think?
Sadly, all male relatives of Jade; also Wendy Richards (of TV fame) and every female in the UK who have died, or will die, from The Big 'C' are not allowed to participate in Race for Life.
Please, let there be a more enlightened approach by Cancer Research UK – let's have the 5K Race for Life made into a Family Fun Run, in 2010, throughout the UK – in the venues where this year's 240 events are being held…
My deepest sympathy to everyone affected by the cancer. Let's work together and beat The Big C together – males and females…

Globe Trotting Updates – Travels of Tay . . .
It has been a while since my last blog post, but I plan to make it up to y'all with a long and juicy post about my recent globe trotting shenanigans. Like most American Universities, Vietnamese students at CTU get a month off between semesters in December. Naturally, I took full advantage of this opportunity. Follow me as a recount my journey through 4 countries in 4 weeks!
My decision to spend a gap year in Asia is largely thanks to my study abroad experience in Kathmandu, Nepal. Ever since I left Nepal in June 2014, I have been itching to get back to see my family and friends that I left behind. The devastating earthquake in May 2014 has, of course, only added to that yearning. If that weren't bad enough, Nepal has recently been crippled by a shortage of basic commodities following the establishment of a new constitution which upset the Madhesi minority as well as India (see link below for an informative read on the current blockade situation). For these reasons, my return to Kathmandu was extremely emotionally charged and I worried about what it would be like to see the country I loved in shambles. I worried about seeing my families and if they truly had everything they need. I worried about my Nepali and if I would remember how to communicate with people.
Stepping off of the plane at Tribhuvan International Airport was a breath of fresh (and slightly polluted, but you get the point) air. All my worries melted away because I was home and all the time and distance in the world couldn't change that. Accompanying me on the trip was my fellow English teacher and friend, Matt!
Before rendezvousing with my host families, Matt and I hit the streets of Thamel (the tourist district) to drink insanely cheap Ghorka beers and hit all the main tourist destinations. The normal hustle a bustle of the city was considerably dim – I assume because most tourists are scared or hesitant to travel to Nepal following the earthquake. I encourage anyone traveling to Asia to stop by Nepal. The people, the food, and the culture will captivate your heart and they need your tourism now more than ever!
After a few days, Matt hit the hills for a short trek and I met up with my host families. I am happy to report that they are all doing well, largely thanks to my family and friend's generous donations! Their old brick home was completely leveled by the earthquake but their new cement home is almost finished and looking very modern. They struggle without having access to oil for their motorbikes or cooking stove but all in all, they are amongst the lucky ones. Depicted in the picture below is my aamaa (mom) and I before a family puja (worship ceremony) to bring luck to the new house and the new crops.
India…. oh, India… What can one really say about India? If I had to plan my trip over again I probably would have skipped it. Not because it wasn't wonderful but because I only had 5 days and therefore only had time to hit what people call the "golden triangle": Delhi, Agra, Jaipur. These cities are more or less tourist traps where everyone is out to get your money and not in a way that is remotely socially acceptable at all. Although the sites were beautiful, by far some of the most outstanding architecture and history I have seen in my entire life, myself and my other travel companions felt like our experience in India was slightly tainted by the constant and relentless soliciting. Having said that, I want to give a little shout out to northern India for really hitting the nail on the head when it comes to cuisine: butter chicken is AH-mazing and pretty much all I ate for 5 days straight!!!
My dear friend Maria was awarded a Fulbright scholarship to conduct her own research in China (I know, my friends are super legit). I've never been to China and have always wanted to go so of course I had to visit her during my month of vacationing. After a very confusing, very hilarious miscommunication that involved Maria showing up to the Xi'an airport a day early and having everyone in the airport searching for me, we were finally reunited! Maria, as if she wasn't impressive enough, speaks fluent Chinese which made my stay in the country smooth like butter. She took me around to see all her favorite sites, most notably the terracotta warriors where we eavesdropped on Chinese tour groups for free. We then boarded an overnight train to Shanghai where we both got a much needed big city pampering. We went shopping at H&M and bought Christmas drinks at Starbucks. We drank wine and went to the theatre. It was all so magical that by the end of the trip we were BOTH daydreaming about moving to Shanghai in the future! Maria flew to Thailand a day before me so I filled my last morning with a cooking class where I learned how to make the infamous soup dumplings. They were delicious and I can't wait to cook them for my friends at home!
My last stop was on the beach in Krabi, Thailand where Maria and I met with big group of friends from college. I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate my first Christmas away from home then with amazing friends in a tropical paradise. In the picture below from left to right we have: Patrick, John, Eli, Liz, Maria, Emily, Me, Riley, and two random blonde girls in the back who decided to photo bomb our reunion picture.
My sneaky parents somehow managed to send me a Christmas gift basket to my hotel filled with cookies, champagne, and a teddy bear. On Christmas day, the Thailand squad treated ourselves to morning cocktails and eggs benedict, followed by a leisurely day at the pool, and a sunset on the beach with champagne and secret santa gifts. Twas lovely.
I think someone knew I was having TOO much fun traveling around Asia because on my way back to Vietnam I got super sick on the plane from Bangkok to Saigon (I will spare you the details…). The kind stranger sitting next to me on the plane offered to drive me in his car to a hotel in the city where I slowly recovered at the expense of my first two classes of the semester (oops…). Even though as I write this I still don't feel 100%, the experience was a welcome reminder that people are kind. This random Thai man repeatedly told me "its ok, its ok" as a threw up in his car and I hope to pay it forward in the near future. Happy holidays to everyone out there! Hope you are spending this season in the company of love, good food, and even better wine.
Most excellent, Taylor; thank you for your account. You have obviously been carping the diem all the way along; keep it up.
Hi Taylor, once again, your writing makes your journies alive in my mind. Keep 'em coming!!

Batman and the Outsiders #23 (July, 1985)
"The Truth About Halo, Part 4: The Search for Halo"
Writer/Editor - Mike W. Barr
Artist - Alan Davis
Letterers - John Costanza & John Workman
Well, last issue we found out about Halo... now we just need to find her.
We open on the now familiar scene of Halo's faceless nightmare... this time, however, she knows it's a dream... and finds the power to awaken, only to find that reality is so much worse than even the baddest dream.
She finds herself surrounded by the aggie-shaped Aurakles... they are still trying to get the Halo "orb" to evacuate the body of Violet Harper. Halo begins weeping and resists... the bad balls ain't impressed... and ain't nothing changing their mind.
We shift scenes to Tokyo, Japan where we observe Batman and the Outsiders soaring in the skies above. They are there at the request of Katana, who claims to know the way to recover their lost friend. Leaving her teammates on a roof, she enters the... I dunno, empty penthouse of her Godfather the Yakuza boss.
The Godfather tells her they have no business and tells her to beat it. His bodyguards draw their weapons... which is a bad idea. Katana straight up KILLS everybody (save the Godfather). Like, she plunges blades into fools... slices them up... I mean, Batman should have a problem with this kinda stuff... right? Ehh, it's pre-Crisis... who knows.
Katana signals for her teammates to join her, and the Godfather says he knows why she's there... and he'll help her, for a price. She's all "pshh... you see what I did to your army?" and ol' Oyabun decides discretion is the better part of valor.
Now, it gets kinda weird... okay, not so much weird... but concerning things I have no experience with. Apparently, Katana's blade is a "soultaker"... meaning the souls of whoever (or whatever) she kills with it are trapped within it. The Godfather had the sword rack which allows Katana to communicate with the souls within. Among those souls was the Aurakle she slayed last issue... and by use of this strange Ouija sword (get it?) the Outsiders are able to find out where Halo is being held.
And so, they travel to the whatever realm where the Aurakles are keeping their teammate. A battle rages over the next several pages with neither side really getting a decisive advantage. The Aurakles ain't letting their gal go, and the Outsiders ain't leaving without her. It comes down to Metamorpho taking the form of a long cable... who runs through the ethereal orbs... and Black Lightning conducting a whole lotta 'lectricity through him... and refusing to let up until the Aurakles let them go.
The bad balls drop the Outsiders off right at their front door, and all appears to be cool... until Halo announces that she's gonna step for a bit... she needs to know just who she is after all the spoo.
Well, that was kind of underwhelming... not bad, per say... just not what I wanted from this storyline. I have no doubt that this was the original intention for the Halo character, but it almost feels as though they wrote themselves into a corner here, and concocted whatever story they had to in order to make everything fit and still redeem the character.
I guess I'll get the art out of the way... it was very nice. In my review of issue #22, I wrote that Davis... while so very good, is no Aparo. I flipped through the issue again, and almost amended the review. Sometimes we need some variety. I gotta say, Davis' art (just like Willingham's in #14) were refreshing... not better or worse, just different... and made me take attention.
The story itself... well, it didn't really feel like there was much of one. Batman outsmarted the Aurakles... and used the Outsiders to win the battle. Katana's bit in Japan was a bit bananas... didn't realize she was so bloodthirsty... and even more, that Batman was okay with her straight up murdering fools. That just seems weird to me. I don't see Batman watching one of his teammates plunge a knife into some dude's chest and nodding his approval.
I did like the Black Lightning/Metamorpho deal that ultimately won the day. That was pretty neat, and a real novel way of using both of their powers.
We end with Halo leaving to find herself... which is fair enough. She just had a major bombshell dropped on her... and it only makes sense for her to take some time to work through it and digest.
Overall... not bad. Not great... but not bad. I must admit, I was much more gung-ho about this storyline at the get-go than I am now... but still better than a lot of stuff I've read, and definitely worth your time.

Q: Email notification always taking system admin email I have a method which is always taking system admin email even if I log in with any other user. Here is an apex code:
public static void SendMail( string name){

        Id profileId=userinfo.getProfileId();
        String profileName=[Select Id,Name from Profile where Id=:profileId].Name;
        system.debug('ProfileName-->'+profileName);

        Messaging.SingleEmailMessage mail = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
        string userName= UserInfo.getUserName();
        User activeUserInputFile = [Select Email From User where UserName = : userName AND ProfileId =:profileId limit 1];
        system.debug('Email1----->'+activeUserInputFile.Email);

        String[] toAddresses = new String[] {activeUserInputFile.Email};
        mail.setToAddresses(toAddresses);
        mail.setSubject('Input file Notification.');
        mail.setPlainTextBody('File "'+name+'" has been processed.');
        Messaging.sendEmail(new Messaging.SingleEmailmessage[] {mail});
}

This method I am calling in my trigger.

(Redirected from Richard Lamm)
In 2004: "The leadership of the Sierra Club, the landmark environmental organization, is enmeshed in a bitter struggle over whether to advocate tough immigration restrictions as a way to control environmental damage that has been associated with rapid population growth.
"The debate is unusual in its intensity, even for an organization whose fractious disputes are legendary. It focuses on efforts by several outsiders and grass-roots members of the club to win seats on the board of directors. The dissident group is led by Richard D. Lamm, the former Democratic governor of Colorado, who has argued for 20 years that national policies leave the country open to unsustainable immigration." [1]

Q: How to use AJAX on ASP.NET MVC RazorPage I am trying to create a cascading DropDownList on ASP.NET RazorPage. After doing some research I found the most common way to do the task is utilizing jQuery in my View. Nearly all demos and examples I found online implement a cascading DropDownList in previous ASP.NET versions, more specifically MVC. I tried translating these examples in the context of how I need them but I am having no luck, most likely due to syntax errors and/or other reasons.
I am using ASP.NET Core 2.2
I am having trouble specifically implementing the dynamic function call (GetSubCategory) whenever an item is selected in the first DropDownList which is displaying correctly
<form asp-controller="my_dropdown" asp-action="CreatePortfolio" method="post" class="form-horizontal" role="form">

                Category
                @Html.DropDownList("categorylist",
                    new SelectList((System.Collections.IEnumerable)ViewData["categorylist"], "CategoryId", "CategoryName"), "Select Category", "CategoryName")
                Subcategory

                @section scripts{

                }

Code behind the view
        public JsonResult GetSubCategory(int CategoryId)
        {
            subcategorylist = _context.GetAllSubCategories(CategoryId);
            //ViewData["subcategorylist"] = subcategorylist;

            return new JsonResult(subcategorylist);
        }
        public void OnGet()
        {
            // ----- Getting Data From Database Using Stored Procedure -----
             categorylist = _context.GetAllCategoires();

            // ----- Assigning categorylist to ViewData["categorylist"] in order to access it in the view -----
            ViewData["categorylist"] = categorylist;
        }

I want the code to correctly display the SubCategories associated to the Category by CategoryId which is a field in both classes/tables

THE first Ultimate Fighting Championship event to be held in WA will kick-off next weekend at Perth Arena.
The hexagonal arena used in UFC was banned by the former Liberal government in 2013, amidst perceptions that "cage fighting" was too brutal, with then-premier Colin Barnett describing it as a "gladiatorial" sport, and the WA branch of the Australian Medical Association opposing it.
But last year Mark McGowan's Labor government lifted a state-wide ban on the hexagon-shaped cage used by mixed martial arts.
Despite the sport getting the political nod of approval, local MMA fan Martin Nathan, 25, says he still gets a few negative reactions when he tells people about his passion.
A bakery manager by day, he did Taekwon do and became interested in the sport when UFC bantamweight Ronda Rousey became hugely popular a couple of years ago.
"A lot of people still just see it as cage fighting," Nathan says.
UFC, which is the peak league, can also be less brutal than some of the less prominent leagues like Bellator MMA, which sometimes have mismatched fights and end up being gory slugfests with more blood strewn across the mat than a typical UFC fight, which tends to be more skill-based.
"That's part of why I prefer the UFC to Bellator, because I find the fighters that are signed to the UFC are much more technical and enjoyable to watch." Nathan says.
UFC continues to be divisive, with many disliking the caged element of the sport.
The UFC hierarchy argue that boxing rings are actually less safe for MMA, where fighters could slip out of the ring during ground-based wrestling, while the hexagon has a fine mesh all the way to the ground.
And MMA supporters point out that football's rife with head injuries, and whereas boxing is solely strike-based, many MMA matches end because one fighter out-grapples the other, with little blood spilled.
Perth's first UFC event has lost a bit of its shine for Australian fans, as Aussie UFC fighter Robert Whittaker dropped out of the title defence fight against towering middleweight Luke Rockhold.
Even so, tickets for WA's first UFC event are expensive: the cheapest seats were snapped up, leaving only tickets in the $206 to $511 price range.

Maria Fernanda Cardoso Bio
Maria Fernanda Cardoso's practice reveals the wonder, beauty and astonishing complexity of other life forms. Using research as the basis of her work, she collaborates with scientists, cinematographers, microscopists, videographers, sound-artists, industrial designers and landscape architects to express inspirations from the natural world in unconventional ways. Cardoso's work has developed through the forms of sculpture, installation, performance, video and photography. Many of her works are long-term projects and present beautifully intricate visualisations of microscopic insights into the geometries within biology, revealing wonders of the natural world.
Maria Fernanda Cardoso was born in Bogota, Colombia in 1963. During the 1990s, she lived in San Francisco, USA where she developed the Cardoso Flea Circus alongside her research into fleas as a pervasive domestic parasite. A simultaneous interest in the behaviour of insects and the phenomenon of camouflage – seen as a parallel to immigrants' willingness and desire to belong to a new-found community – also informed her work during this period. Cardoso relocated to Sydney in the early 2000s where she now lives and works. Moving to Sydney led her to explore new materials and traditions, specifically from native animals, resulting in projects using sheep's wool and emu feathers. Her recent practice continues to build on her ongoing long-term projects, focusing on the 'small' and the reproductive anatomy of plants in relation to human social-sexual relations.
Cardoso graduated from Yale University with a Masters in Sculpture and Installation in1990 and was awarded her PhD from the University of Sydney in 2012. Her works are held in numerous collections including the Tate Modern, London; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney; National Gallery of Australia, Canberra; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Miami Art Museum; Daros Latinamerica, Zurich; and several other major collections in America, Europe, and various regional galleries in Australia.

Statement from Vice-Chancellor Professor Simone Buitendijk on the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
This is an update on our response to the abhorrent wave of violence unleashed by the Russian government through its invasion of Ukraine.
This unprovoked act of war goes against everything that a humane, civilised and democratic society stands for and therefore, by extension, everything that this University stands for. In common with many thousands across our community, I condemn it in the strongest possible terms.
It is essential that we continue to be guided by our values at this time, recognising that there will be many parts of our internal and broader community that will be affected by the appalling actions of the Putin regime, both directly and indirectly, and that they need our support.
In terms of specific steps we are taking in response, these include:
Reviewing our financial commitment to the Council for At Risk Academics (Cara), with a view to increasing it, so that we can support its essential work helping academics and their families who are at risk as a result of the invasion.
Identifying and reviewing on a case-by-case basis collaborations with Russian counterparts, and following evolving government and Universities UK (UUK) guidance. At this time UUK is not supporting the application of blanket academic boycotts that prevent academics collaborating with peers as a means of protest against the actions of their governments. This is a fast-moving situation and we will watch this closely.
Taking steps to ensure the University is supporting the package of sanctions currently being imposed against Russia and relevant targets. This may have implications for our operations, which we are urgently assessing, but we are unwavering in our support for their use.
Offering UK immigration and visa support to colleagues who are affected by the invasion via the HR International Team.
Leeds University Union (LUU) is arranging a vigil in the University Precinct at 5pm on Friday 11 March. All are invited and I would encourage you to attend if you are able.
Finally, as already noted, these events will touch a wide array of people in many different ways. First and foremost, we must lend our support to students, colleagues and friends who have loved ones directly caught up in the invasion – the majority of which of course, will be Ukrainians.
But we must also be mindful of the impact on Russian staff and students, many of whom oppose this conflict, and will be sharing our outrage at these events.
We are a diverse and tolerant community that welcomes people from all over the globe and supports them to reach their potential and make an impact on the world. That approach has served us well for more than a century and will continue to do so in the difficult days, weeks and months ahead.
