Is UberEATS the Answer to All Your Seamless Woes?
By Lucy Meilus

Jennifer Bui/Thrillist
There's no debating the fact that nearly everyone living in New York City is reliant on Seamless for at least a quarter of their weekly meals (or more), but the world ain't all sunshine and soup dumplings. In fact, despite all the positive things about Seamless, there's plenty to complain about: long waits, occasional high minimums and delivery fees, ghost restaurants, suspiciously high ratings for random sushi places you can't Google (ghost restaurants?), and a lack of curation (have you really ever ordered from one of the 900 combo pizza/bagel/kebab places? Are those ghost restaurants too?!).
Well, perhaps your Seamless days are behind you. Uber recently unveiled its standalone food delivery app, UberEATS, with service currently available below 100th St in Manhattan. In a similar vein to other Seamless competitors like Caviar, UberEATS features a well-curated list of over 100 NYC restaurants (some -- though not all -- of which aren't available on Seamless), like Court Street Grocers, Noreetuh, Empellon al Pastor, and Egg Shop. You can pay with your Uber account, and (like Seamless) order from places that are within your delivery zone. But does UberEATS have more going for it than its competitors? Let's evaluate.
It's faster
Standard delivery time for Seamless is anywhere from 35 to 55 minutes, with Caviar and Postmates somewhere in the same realm. UberEATS is arguably the fastest, offering as low as a 15-26 minute wait on some orders. There's also an instant delivery option that promises to get you food in under 10 minutes from a list of daily specials from local restaurants (this feature is currently only available between 14th St and 59th during the week from 11am-2pm).
It's cheaper... for now
Menu prices remain the same on UberEATS, but unlike some Seamless vendors, there's no requirement to meet a minimum in order to place an order on UberEATS (many on Seamless can be as high as $15 or $20). And, whereas Caviar and Postmates charge a delivery fee on ALL orders, there's none of those on UberEATS either. So you could theoretically order a $3.25 carne asada taco from Otto's Tacos and call it a day -- an option unrivaled by any other delivery service out there.
A rep for Uber tells me this won't last forever though, and there are only no minimums and no delivery fees "for a limited time." They've assured that when the change is made, the fee, which will be tacked onto all orders, will be low (though no number was specified). One thing that won't change? Like a regular Uber, you don't have to tip.
There are no ghost restaurants
This really can't be emphasized enough. While Seamless/GrubHub has made a concerted effort to remove these "fake" restaurants (a rep told me in January, "We made changes as soon as the issue was brought to our attention. Since then, we have removed the small handful of restaurants that were in violation of our terms from our platforms"), it's still worth emphasizing that UberEATS is free of ghosts and full of some of the city's best restaurants. But there's also arguably a downside to this high-level of curation -- you certainly won't find any 24-hour diners or late-night pizza places on here to satiate your post-bar hunger.
But will it outshine the competition?
Maybe. But other than the speed and (temporarily) low prices, UberEats isn't offering that much more than its competitors. With the ability to get literally anything you want from anywhere via Postmates, it's hard to really argue that this app (or any other) offers a venue you can't order form on any other platform. So it's really just about keeping fees low and delivery fast.
One thing Seamless still really has going for it? Reviews. Like Caviar and Postmates, UberEATS doesn't allow users to review restaurants (though you can give a thumbs up or down rating on food items and the overall experience). Again, the list of restaurants on the app is pretty well-curated (there are no combo pizza/bagel/kebab places here), but that doesn't mean people aren't still curious what others have to say, in detail, about that mac & cheese bagel (I just want to tell a friend about it, OK?!).

KTM North America has released more details for its Canadian adventure bike rally.
This year, the KTM Adventure Rally Canada will run Sept. 26-28 at the Red Mountain Resort in Rossland, BC, just above the US border. Once again, the rally is open to all motorcycle brands, but your bike has to be over 600 cc.
As part of the Canadian rally, there's now a two-day navigation rally, in which teams of 2-4 riders will follow GPS routes through the mountains, trying to stay on-track as closely as possible. There are two options to choose in the rally. One is aimed at giving an off-road riding experience, the other is more oriented towards adventure touring.
There's also going to be adventure gear vendors, rider training with Chris Birch, and demo rides on KTM adventure bikes, including the new 790 Adventure R. Of course, the general riding in the area is fantastic as well.
KTM is also bringing back the Race Qualifier. This event is open to riders on KTM twin-cylinder bikes; the winners will head to KTM's international competition, the Ultimate Race at Merzouga. There are more details to come, but for now, the basic rules and regs are at KTM's Eventbrite sign-up page. Space is limited, says KTM, so get moving on this if you're interested.
As for the other goings-on, there's more information on the rest of the fun at Eventbrite as well, so head there for more information.

IMCDb.org: 1978 Scania BF 86 Skandia in "Tre kronor, 1994-1999"
But is it a truck or a converted bus ?
It was most definitely built on a chassis of a bus or coach, and hence it's (should be) a BF 86 (the last F means engine at front).
There were two competitive coach builders that look virtualy the same, both building home removal buses, namely Karlaverken in Laholm and Skandiakarosser also in Laholm. But as Karlaverken, according to http://www.pvchassi.com/tillverkare/karlaverken.html stopped in 1969, and the 86 roughly was made the years 1978-82, I believe the body was made by Skandia. Skandia has survived and is today called Helmark.
Therefore I believe this is a 1978+ Scania BF 86 coach built by Skandia. The concept is sometimes called "Möbelbuss" (ENG: Furniture bus) or "Flyttbuss" (ENG: Home removal bus).

Kangana Has Moved On: Her Sister Rangoli Responds After Hrithik's Complaint Goes Viral
The actors entered into a legal battle with each other. Kangana, on the press tour for her new film Simran, provided more details about the fiasco to the media.
The Kangana Ranaut – Hrithik Roshan scandal is out in the open again after Roshan's police complaint was leaked and made public by a TV news channel. Amongst other things, the actor's complaint alleges that Kangana stalked him and sent him sexually explicit emails and abusive messages.
According to a Republic report, sources have confirmed that the complaint was filed by Mahesh Jethmalani, Hrithik's counsel in April 2016. The complaint also alleges that Kangana sent Hrithik 'sexually explicit' emails in which she called him her 'eternal lover'. Hrithik was 'repulsed but out of decency ignored those emails'.
Kangana Ranaut Has Moved On: Her Sister Rangoli Responds After Hrithik Roshan's Complaint Goes Viral
According to the complaint, Hrithik and Kangana were first introduced to each other in 2009, prior to filming their movie Kites. They would go on to star together in Krrish 3, following which their relationship soured when Kangana spoke in public about her 'silly ex' which Hrithik took as an insinuation of their affair.
The actors entered into a legal battle with each other. Kangana, on the press tour for her new film Simran, provided more details about the fiasco to the media. She alleged that she had gone to Hrithik's father, Rakesh Roshan, for help, and while he had initially assured her that he would arrange a meeting between the two, had put all his efforts into launching a legal attack against her.
Kangana's lawyer Mr Rizwaan Siddiqui has issued a statement to after a copy of Hrithik's complaint reportedly filed on April 8, 2017, was made public.

Bhumi: "I Have Been Able To Break The Stereotype In Bollywood…
The statement reads: "It is quite surprising to note that some electronic news channel is trying to create a media feeding frenzy, concerning an old police complaint which was filed by Mr. Hrithik Roshan sometime early in the year 2016, to miserably create a fresh story and get TRPs for their channel. Be as it may, I want to clarify to other electronic media channels and other print publications that the said old police complaint concerning an imposter, which was filed by Mr Hrithik Roshan has been dealt with by my client, as per the legal procedure provided. Also, all others should not get confused by the random and out of context questions that may be miserably raised by the channel for obvious reasons. All answers to the questions are available on the public platform since early 2016 and it is not prudent on the part of my client to repeat the same things all over again. If Mr Hrithik really wants to clear his name then he has to simply answer the questions which were publicly put to him at that stage. The said unanswered questions are also available on public domain since April 2016."
Kangana's sister Rangoli Chandel also posted a number of tweets for Hrithik Roshan.
This is the best you can do to save your face?Revive same old stalking, sexually harassing baseless complaint? @iHrithik

Kangana was in school when your first film came if not in the industry she would have called you her uncle… @iHrithik
Young beautiful talented rich girl like Kangana doesn't need to stalk an uncle like you, u were after her she was never after you @iHrithik
And still you are going after her to malign her even though you have nothing to say. @iHrithik

Borders Up in Smoke: Marijuana Enforcement in Nebraska After Colorado's Legalization of Medicinal Marijuana

Criminal Justice Policy Review
With the passage of Amendments 20 (2000) and 64 (2012), Colorado legalized the medicinal and recreational use of marijuana. Nebraskan law enforcement in border counties subsequently reported increases in arrests and reductions in jail space. In response, the Nebraska state legislature passed LR-520 to study the potential increased costs incurred by criminal justice agencies in border counties. To investigate this situation, we compare trends in drug arrests and jail occupancy across three areas: border counties, those that contain Interstate 80 (I-80) as a major transportation route, and the remaining counties in the state of Nebraska from 2000 through 2013. We found that border counties, but not necessarily those along the I-80 corridor, experienced significant growth in marijuana-related arrests and jail admissions after the expansion of the medical marijuana program in Colorado. Implications for research and policy are discussed.

Q: How to translate json string to object with dynamic names Hello stackoverflow,
What I want is this string into a class in c#.
The part I can't find out is how to make a class of bar.
I receive sting names and want to convert it to a string of names with classes inside of them
{
    "success": true,
    "result": {
        "foo": [
            {
                "keys": "values"
            }
        ],
        "bar": [
            {
                "keys": "values"
            }
        ]
}

This is how this class would look like

public class Foo
{
    public string key{ get; set; }
}

public class Bar
{
    public string key{ get; set; }
}

public class Result
{
    public List<Foo> foo { get; set; }
    public List<Bar> bar { get; set; }
}

public class RootObject
{
    public bool success { get; set; }
    public Result result { get; set; }
}

This is how I wish the class would look like

public class Foos
{
    public string key{ get; set; }
}

public class Result
{
    public Dictionary<String, Foos> foo { get; set; }
}

public class RootObject
{
    public bool success { get; set; }
    public Result result { get; set; }
}

Being a business owner is a round-the-clock job. And let's be honest, it probably isn't exactly what you were expecting when you first signed up.We get it, you're constantly having to manage things and it might seem like you're always battling against the clock to get everything done in a day.
But never fear, we're here to help demystify the technology that can free up some of your time, and make you more productive and efficient.
Here are 14 tips that will boost your productivity and efficiency.
Google Apps for Work or Office 365 are both powerful tools for a business of any size.
Google Apps for Work gives you 24/7 access to your email and an entire suite of productivity software, which includes a word processor and spreadsheet creator. It also offers collaboration plugins for almost everything you could imagine. The best part? Everything is in the cloud meaning things cannot get lost or left back at the office.
Tracking projects and associated tasks can be a nightmare. Project management tools help keep everyone accountable and on track to complete a job.
Cloud based project management tools such as Basecamp and Trello make it possible for your team to keep up to speed with everything that's going on, no matter where in the world they are based.
If you're in the business of selling products, it is time to say goodbye to antiquated cash registers and make the switch to a cloud based POS.
POS solutions simplify inventory and stock orders, show you what your most popular items are and let you keep an eye on the business and sales - no matter your location.
A cloud based POS can be pricey to onboard, but the hours saved in administration work are well worth the implementation costs. And, the accurate sales metrics will also help you tweak your offerings to increase profits.
Automated marketing tools are essential if you want to increase your productivity. These tools can range from a simple email marketing solution such as Mail Chimp all the way to an all-inclusive system like Hubspot or Pardot.
These platforms are used to measure and automate your marketing efforts. But it's important to remember that you will need to have a strategy in place to implement them successfully. You'll also initially need to take the time to learn to use the program, but it will be worth it in the long run.
Social media is a time consuming task for many business owners. Avoid the black hole of time wasting by moving to a social media management suite. It can reduce the hours you spend on social dramatically.
Programs such as Hootsuite and Sprout Social bring all of your social accounts together and let you schedule and track your efforts in the one place.
Love reading industry publications, but your inbox is overflowing with information? Roll all of your newsletter subscriptions with Unrollme. It compiles all of your email subscriptions in one place and lets you unsubscribe with one click.
Forgetting and resetting passwords is a major time waster and distraction. Avoid this by installing Lastpass — it remembers your passwords and keeps them safe. The best part is that logging in only takes one click!
Two monitors gives you the ability to copy and paste easier, stops you getting distracted by switching between tabs and and can reduce the amount of documents you need to print.
Personal social media is an absolute time killer. One minute you're looking at an email, then someone's signature links to their Linkedin and next minute you're watching cat videos. Monitor how you spend your time online with Rescue Time.
If you discover you're slightly addicted to social media, look at installing a free app like Self Control or Freedom. These block your access to sites that distract during the work day.
It can be incredibly hard to stay on task. If you're finding it hard to concentrate try the Pomodoro technique. The basic idea is to set a timer for 25 minutes and work on a single task for that amount of time. No distractions. When the time is up you take a 5 minute breather and do something else completely. Then, reset the timer and start the process again. Watch this Pomodoro technique video for a more indepth explanation.
You've heard it before but it's time to listen up — it's scientifically proven that exercise gets more blood and oxygen pumping through your body. This not only benefits your physical health but also your mental health too. If Foreign Minister Julie Bishop can go for a jog every morning, so can you.
Do not skip meals and don't go for a McDonald's run. Your mind cannot function at an optimal rate unless it gets the supplements it needs — this does not mean coffee all day. Nourish your body.
13. Take your phone off the desk.
Did you know the average person checks their smartphone 110 times a day? And up to every 6 seconds in the evening? Turn your phone on silent mode and keep it off your desk.
14. Plan your day the night before.
US President Barack Obama plans his entire day the night before. Planning gives you the best opportunity to start the day off on task, rather than wasting time working out what to do.
There's no doubt SME owners and operators have a tough job. Work often spills into your personal life, but you can reduce the chances of this if you utilise some of the above tips and technologies.
Smart technology can automate tasks for you and give you easy access to information which will boost your productivity and overall efficiency.

The following are additions to the existing text as indicated:
Stranger-originated Life Insurance (STOLI) and Investor-originated Life Insurance (IOLI)
Stranger-originated life insurance (STOLI) is a life insurance arrangement in which a person with no relationship to the insured (a "stranger") purchases a life policy on the insured's life with the intent of selling the policy to an investor and profiting financially when the insured dies. In other words, STOLIs are financed and purchased solely with the intent of selling them for life settlements.
STOLIs violate the principle of insurable interest, which is in place to ensure that a person purchasing a life insurance policy is actually interested in the longevity rather than the death of the insured. Because of this, insurers take an aggressive legal stance against policies they suspect are involved in STOLI transactions.
Note that lawful life settlement contracts do not constitute STOLIs. Life settlement transactions result from existing life insurance policies; STOLIs are initiated for the purpose of obtaining a policy that would benefit a person who has no insurable interest in the life of the insured at the time of policy origination.
Investor-owned life insurance (IOLI) is another name for a STOLI, where a third-party investor who has no insurable interest in the insured initiates a transaction designed to transfer the policy ownership rights to someone with no insurable interest in the insured and who hopes to make a profit upon the death of the insured or annuitant.
USA PATRIOT Act and Anti-Money Laundering
The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act, also known as the USA PATRIOT Act was enacted on October 26, 2001. The purpose of the Act is to address social, economic, and global initiatives to fight and prevent terrorist activities. The Act enabled the Financial Crime Enforcement Network (FinCEN) to require banks, broker-dealers, and other financial institutions to establish new anti-money laundering (AML) standards. With new rules in place, FinCEN incorporated the insurance industry into this group.
To secure the goals of the Act, FinCEN has implemented an AML Program that requires the monitoring of all financial transactions and reporting of any suspicious activity to the government, along with prohibiting correspondent accounts with foreign shell banks. A comprehensive customer identification and verification procedure is also to be set in place. The AML program consists of the following minimum requirements:
Assimilate policies, procedures and internal controls based on an in-house risk assessment, including:
Instituting AML programs similar to banks and securities lenders; and
File suspicious activity reports (SAR) with Federal authorities;
Appointing a qualified compliance officer responsible for administering the AML program;
Continual training for applicable employees, producers and other; and
Allow for independent testing of the program on a regular basis.
Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) Rules
Any company that is subject to the AML Program is also subject to SAR rules. SAR rules state that procedures and plans must be in place and designed to identify activity that one would deem suspicious of money laundering, terrorist financing and/or other illegal activities. Deposits, withdrawals, transfers or any other business deals involving $5,000 or more are required to be reported if the financial company or insurer "knows, suspects or has reason to suspect" that the transaction:
Has no business or lawful purpose;
Is designed to deliberately misstate other reporting constraints;
Uses the financial institution or insurer to assist in criminal activity;
Is obtained using fraudulent funds from illegal activities; or
Is intended to mask funds from other illegal activities.
Some "red flags" to look for in suspicious activity:
Customer uses fake ID or changes a transaction after learning that he or she must show ID;
Two or more customers use similar IDs;
Customer conducts transactions so that they fall just below amounts that require reporting or recordkeeping;
Two or more customers seem to be working together to break one transaction into two or more (trying to evade the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) requirements); or
Customer uses two or more money service business (MSB) locations or cashiers on the same day to break one transaction into smaller transactions (trying to evade BSA requirements).
Relevant SAR reports must be filed with FinCEN within 30 days of initial discovery. Reporting takes place on FinCEN Form 108.
Term Life – Special Features
Most term insurance policies are renewable, convertible, or renewable and convertible (R&C).
The renewable provision allows the policyowner the right to renew the coverage at the expiration date without evidence of insurability. The premium for the new term policy will be based on the insured's current age. For example, a 10-year term policy that is renewable can be renewed at the end of the 10-year period for a subsequent 10-year period without evidence of insurability. However, the insured will have to pay the premium that is based on his or her attained age. If an individual purchases a 10-year term policy at age 35, he or she will pay a premium based on the age of 45 upon renewing the policy.
The convertible provision provides the policyowner with the right to convert the policy to a permanent insurance policy without evidence of insurability. The premium will be based on the insured's attained age at the time of conversion.
Interest-Sensitive Whole Life
Interest-sensitive whole life, also referred to as current assumption life, is a whole life policy that provides a guaranteed death benefit to age 100. The insurer sets the initial premium based on current assumptions about risk, interest and expense. If the actual values change, the company will lower or raise the premium at designated intervals. In addition, interest-sensitive whole life policies credit the cash value with the current interest rate that is usually comparable to money market rates, and can be higher than the guaranteed levels. The policy also provides for a minimum guaranteed rate of interest.
Interest-sensitive whole life provides the same benefits as other traditional whole life policies with the added benefit of current interest rates, which may allow for either greater cash value accumulation or a shorter premium-paying period.
Indexed Life
The main feature of indexed whole life (or equity index whole life) insurance is that the cash value is dependent upon the performance of the equity index, such as S&P 500 although there is a guaranteed minimum interest rate. The policy's face amount increases annually to keep pace with inflation (as the Consumer Price Index increases) without requiring evidence of insurability. Indexed whole life policies are classified depending on whether the policyowner or the insurer assumes the inflation risk. If the policyowner assumes the risk, the policy premiums increase with the increases in the face amount. If the insurer assumes the risk, the premium remains level.
Taxes, Retirements, and Other Insurance Concepts
Third-Party Ownership
Most insurance policies are written where the insured and owner of the policy is the same person. However, there are situations in which the contract may be owned by someone other than the insured. These types of contracts are known as third-party ownership. Third-party owner is a legal term used to identify an individual or entity that is not an insured under the contract, but that has a legally enforceable right under it. Most policies involving third-party ownership are written in business situations or for minors in which the parent owns the policy.
The term life settlement refers to any financial transaction in which the owner of a life insurance policy sells a life insurance policy to a third party for some form of compensation, usually cash. A life settlement would require an absolute assignment of all rights to the policy from the original policyowner to the new policyowner.
Policyowners may choose to sell their policies because they feel they no longer need their coverage, or the premium costs have grown too high to justify continuation of the policy. In many cases, however, life settlement transactions are offered to senior citizens who may have a life threatening illness and a short life expectancy. In these situations, the owner may elect to sell the policy to a life settlement provider for an amount greater than what they would receive if they surrendered the policy for cash value.
Because Life Settlements are not involved in the establishment of new life insurance coverage, the Life Settlement Act defines terms that are not in conflict with the sale of the original life insurance coverage, but which accurately identify the distinctions in the Life Settlement business. Some of the more important definitions are as follows:
The term business of life settlement refers to any activity relating to the solicitation and sale of a life settlement contract to a third party who has no insurable interest in the insured.
The term owner refers to the owner of the life insurance policy who seeks to enter into a life settlement contract. The term does not include an insurance provider, a qualified institutional buyer, a financing entity, a special purpose entity, or a related provider trust.
Insured is the person covered under the policy that is considered for sale in a life settlement contract.
Life Expectancy is an important concept in life settlement contracts. It refers to a calculation based on the average number of months the insured is projected to live due to medical history and mortality factors (an arithmetic mean).
Life Settlement Contract establishes the terms under which the life settlement provider will pay compensation to the policyowner, in return for the assignment, transfer, sale, or release of any portion of any of the following:
The death benefit;
Policy ownership;
Any beneficial interest; or
Interest in a trust or any other entity that owns the policy.
Life Settlement Broker is a person who, for compensation, solicits, negotiates, or offers to negotiate a life settlement contract. Life settlement brokers represent only the policyowners, and have a fiduciary duty to the owners to act according to their instructions and in their best interest.
Life Settlement Provider is a person (other than the owner) who enters into a life settlement contract with the owner.
Group Life Insurance – Contributory vs. Noncontributory
The employer or other group sponsor may pay all of the premiums or share premiums with the employees. When an employer pays all of the premiums, the plan is referred to as a noncontributory plan. Under a noncontributory plan, an insurer will require that 100% of the eligible employees be included in the plan. When the premiums for group insurance are shared between the employer and employees, the plan is referred to as a contributory plan. Under a contributory plan, an insurer will require that 75% of eligible employees be included in the plan.
Business Insurance Needs
Businesses use life insurance for the same reason individuals use life insurance: it creates an immediate payment upon the death of the insured.
The most common use of life insurance by businesses is as an employee benefit, which serves as a protection for employees and their beneficiaries. There are also other forms of life insurance that can serve business owners and their survivors, and even protect the business itself. These include funding business continuation agreements, compensating executives, and protecting the business against financial loss resulting from the death or disability of key employees.
A business can suffer a financial loss because of the premature death of a key employee — someone who has specialized knowledge, skills or business contacts. A business can lessen the risk of such loss by the use of key person insurance.
With this coverage, the key employee is the insured, and the business is all of the following:
Applicant;
Policyowner;
Premium payer; and
In the event of death of a key employee, the business would use the money for the additional costs of running the business and replacing the employee. The business cannot take a tax deduction for the expense of the premium. However, if the key employee dies, the benefits paid to the business are usually received tax free. No special agreements or contracts are needed except that the employee(s) would need to give permission for this coverage.
Buy-sell Funding
A buy-sell agreement is a legal contract that determines what will be done with a business in the event that an owner dies or becomes disabled. This is also referred to as a business continuation agreement.
There are several types of buy-sell agreements that can be used for partnerships and corporations:
Cross Purchase — used in partnerships when each partner buys a policy on the other;
Entity Purchase — used when the partnership buys the policies on the partners;
Stock Purchase — used by privately owned corporations when each stockholder buys a policy on each of the others;
Stock Redemption — used when the corporation buys one policy on each shareholder.
Disability Income – Business Overhead Expense Insurance
Business overhead expense (BOE) insurance is a unique type of policy that is sold to small business owners who must continue to meet overhead expenses such as rent, utilities, employee salaries, installment purchases, leased equipment, etc., following a disability. The business overhead expense policy reimburses the business owner for the actual overhead expenses that are incurred while the business owner is totally disabled. This policy does not reimburse the business owner for his or her salary, compensation, or other form of income that is lost as a result of disability. There is usually an elimination period of 15 to 30 days and benefit payments are usually limited to one or two years. The benefits are usually limited to covered expenses incurred or the maximum monthly benefit stated in the policy. The premiums paid for BOE insurance are tax deductible to the business as a business expense. However, the benefits received are taxable to the business as received.
Pre-authorizations and Prior Approval Requirements
Some health insurance policies will require the pre-authorization or prior approval of certain medical procedures, tests, or hospital stays. The insured must obtain the insurer's approval before the procedure, test, or hospital stay to be sure the policy will cover the expenses.
Usual, Reasonable, and Customary (URC) Charges
Some medical expense insurance plans contain a benefit schedule, which very specifically states exactly what is covered in the plan and for how much. Other plans may incorporate the term usual/reasonable/customary. Usual/reasonable/customary means that the insurance company will pay an amount for a given procedure based upon the average charge for that procedure in that specific geographic area.
Lifetime, Annual, or Per Cause Maximum Benefit Limits
The maximum benefit is the largest benefit amount a policy will pay. This may be expressed as a lifetime limit, an annual limit, or a per-cause limit.
The lifetime limit specifies a benefit amount that is the most a policy will pay during the lifetime of the insured.
An annual limit is the most a policy will pay each year that policy is in force.
The per-cause limit is the most a policy will pay for expenses incurred from the same or related causes.
Impairment Rider
The impairment (exclusion) rider may be attached to a contract for the purpose of eliminating coverage for a specifically defined pre-existing condition, such as back injuries. Impairment riders may be temporary or may become a permanent part of the policy. Attaching this rider excludes coverage for a condition that would otherwise be covered. Often a person's only means of purchasing insurance at a reasonable cost when they have an existing impairment is through a policy which excludes coverage for the specific impairment.
For example, a physician may have suffered from a back injury prior to applying for a disability policy. The company may agree to issue a disability policy, but with an exclusion rider, excluding coverage for any claim related to his back. The policy would cover any other disability he may incur in the future, as long as it is not related to his back. This may be the only way the insured is able to obtain coverage. The underwriter makes a decision when writing the contract whether to make the exclusion permanent, or, for a short time only (such as if the insured is able to go a specified period of time with no further treatment). The terms of the rider will be clearly stated in the policy.
Most riders in both life and health insurance add some form of additional coverage; often there is extra cost added to the premium for the rider. The impairment (exclusion) rider is an exception in that it takes something away from standard coverage. There is no extra charge for this, nor is the premium reduced to reflect a reduction in coverage.
Workers Compensation is a benefit offered and regulated by the states, and will vary to some degree from state to state.
To be eligible for Workers Compensation benefits, the worker must work in an occupation covered by Workers Compensation and have had an accident or sickness that is work related. Workers Compensation benefits are payable when a worker is injured by a work-related injury, regardless of fault or negligence.
Workers Compensation laws provide four types of benefits:
Medical benefits;
Income benefits;
Death benefits; and
Rehabilitation benefits.
Subrogation is the legal process by which an insurance company seeks recovery of the amount paid to the insured from a third party who may have caused the loss. Through subrogation, the insured cannot collect twice.

The mobilehome endorsement alters the homeowners policy to cover a mobilehome and other structures on land owned or leased by the resident of the mobilehome. The limit of liability for Coverage B (other structures) is changed to $2,000 or 10% of the Coverage A limit, whichever is greater. This does not reduce the Coverage A limit.
The additional coverage of property removed is changed to add up to $500 for reasonable expenses incurred in the removal and return of the mobilehome when it is necessary to avoid damage or endangered by a peril insured against. The additional coverage of ordinance or law is removed.
To be eligible, the mobile home must be designed for year round living and must meet certain size requirements.
The coverage structure of the Mobile Homeowners Policy follows the structure of the Homeowners policy:
Coverage A — States the limit of liability for damage to the mobile home;
Coverage B — Other covered structures;
Coverage C — Personal property of the insured*
Coverage D — Loss of use coverage;
Coverage E — Personal Liability;
Coverage F — Medical Payments to Others.
* Note: Unlike the HO forms, the Mobile Homeowners Policy provides 40% of Coverage A. Items included in the unit (at the time of sale) are classified as Coverage A property.
The mobile homeowners policy changes the language for the Additional Coverage Property Removed. The policy will pay up to $500 if the insured moves the mobile home to a safer area to protect it from loss by a covered peril. If the insured wishes to move the mobile home in a situation in which it is not threatened by an insured peril, they must contact the insurer and obtain, for additional premium, a Transportation/Permission to Move Endorsement. This endorsement adds the perils of collision, upset, and stranding and sinking to the perils insured against in the policy. Coverage under this endorsement applies for a period of 30 days anywhere in continental United States or Canada. The mobile homeowners policy endorsement deletes the additional coverage for Ordinance or Law.
Watercraft endorsement provides liability protection for bodily injury or property damage caused by the ownership or use of watercraft (excluding when used to carry persons for a fee or when rented to others).
Most standard homeowner policies will cover wind damage from minor natural events. This does not usually apply, however, to areas that are considered high risk, such as coastal regions, which are susceptible to hurricanes, and inland areas that are at risk from tornadoes. In these high-risk areas, certain windstorm coverage is removed from the homeowner policy and homeowners are either required or encouraged to purchase a separate windstorm policy.
The terms wind and windstorm have specific definitions that will make it easier to understand the coverages provided by homeowner and windstorm policies. Wind is defined as a natural and perceptible movement of air parallel to or along the ground. A windstorm is defined as a storm with high winds or violent gusts but with little or no rain. Wind and windstorm may be different causes of loss, so even though a homeowner policy covers wind damage, it may not cover damage from a windstorm.
Private insurance companies sell specialty coverage such as "wind and hail" or "windstorm" policies, but in states where there are no offerings from private insurers, state-sponsored insurance pools provide windstorm insurance for these areas. Windstorm policies are written with different classifications that are tied to "trigger" events. Examples of these trigger events include
A hurricane or tornado watch issued by the National Hurricane Center or National Weather Service;
Sustained winds of 74 or more miles per hour; and
A specific, declared geographic location.
Cyber Liability and Data Breach – added to Professional Liability section
The ISO has recently introduced a new line of insurance that covers cyber risks, called the Internet Liability and Network Protection Policy. The policy includes 5 separate agreements listed below:
Website publishing liability — provides coverage against Internet-related publishing perils, including libel, and copyright, trademark, or service mark infringement;
Network security liability — protects the policyowner against claims for failing to maintain the security of a computer system;
Replacement or restoration of electronic data — covers the cost of replacing or restoring data lost due to a virus, malicious instruction, or denial-of-service attack;
Cyber extortion — covers expenses, including ransom payments, incurred from extortion threats; and
Business income and extra expense — provides coverage for expenses incurred as a result of an extortion threat or e-commerce incident.
Each agreement offers its own aggregate limit of coverage, subject to an overall policy limit. Defense expenses are included within the policy limits. All coverage is written on a claims-made basis, and allows the additional of endorsements for worldwide protection.
Bonds – Fidelity
Fidelity bonds are used to guarantee honesty and trust as opposed to surety bonds that guarantee performance.
In almost any type business there is some risk of loss resulting from dishonesty (infidelity) of employees. Fidelity bonds may be used to cover these types of losses. A typical fidelity bond covers losses caused by theft, embezzlement, forgery, misappropriation, or any other dishonest or fraudulent act.
Every fidelity bond is written with a stated limit called a limit of liability. The coverage applies to acts committed during the bond period. Normally fidelity bonds are written with no expiration dates and stay in force until cancelled. Most also have a discovery period in which losses are covered if discovered within a time period after the bond has terminated or coverage for a dishonest employee has terminated. Typically, the discovery period is 1 year (2 years for blanket position).
Fidelity bonds are "one bite" bonds. As soon as an employer becomes aware of an employee's dishonesty which could lead or has led to a claim, coverage for that employee terminates immediately. The act could have occurred before the current bond period or even with a different employer. This prevents second chances for anyone who has committed the kind of act covered by the bond.
Employee fidelity bonds may be written as any of the following:
Individual — covers 1 employee named on the bond;
Name schedule — covers several employees named on the bond for varying amounts;
Position schedule — covers anyone occupying a scheduled position, listed by job title rather than name;
Commercial Blanket — covers all employees and limits of liability on a per loss basis no matter how many employees may have been involved; or
Blanket position — covers all employees and the limit of liability on a per employee basis no matter how many employees may have been involved.

Living the Life: All about infidelity
(WJBK) - This Living the Life segment is all about infidelity. What constitutes as cheating? Do you speak up if you know someone is being cheated on?
HealthResearchFunding.org says that 70 percent of men in their study have admitted to cheating, and that more than 50 percent of married women say they've had an affair.
One in three marriage continue after an affair. Psychologist Dr. Carol Van Dyke joins us to tell us how to move on after that happens. Her biggest advice is that both parties have to be committed to making the marriage work. The first step is, obviously, having the cheating partner end the current affair.
She says, in some cases, marriages have gotten even stronger after an affair.
Dr. Van Dyke also has advice on what to do if you know someone who is cheating, or is being cheated on.
"First, you want to assses the friendship," she says. "But in most cases -- the woman knows."
You can watch more of their discussion in the video player above.

Before filing a case on behalf of multiple people who have been injured, either physically or monetarily, an initial decision must be made of whether to bring each person's claims individually or as a group. If you believe bringing the claims as a group would be more beneficial for purposes of economy of scale, greater bargaining power collectively and efficiency, the next issue is whether to pursue the case as a class action or a mass action. These types of procedural mechanisms for bringing a group of claims together are appropriate under different circumstances, and each has its own pros and cons.
Sometimes the decision of which type of action to pursue is easy, while other times there is some strategy and weighing of options involved, as well as legal considerations of whether the proposed class meets the criteria for certification. Here are some considerations to keep in mind when making this decision with your clients.
How many plaintiffs can be practically joined, and can they represent others or just themselves?
One of the most obvious differences between a class and mass action are the number of plaintiffs named in the lawsuit. Class actions have only one or a few named plaintiffs, who act as representatives of the entire class, because, as Trial Rule 23 says, the class is so large joinder of all the members would be impracticable. That means technically there are only a few named parties to the lawsuit, and those class members not listed as class representatives have very limited input and responsibilities with regard to the lawsuit.
Those absent class members normally don't have to answer discovery, go to depositions or court hearings, and don't have to prove their claims individually (at least not their liability claims). Instead, although there are some chances along the way for them to opt out or contest any settlement, for example, even class counsel only has to communicate with class members during certain limited times during the lawsuit. The other side of the coin of this representation, however, is that if the class is certified, the results of the lawsuit are res judicata for all class members – whether named or not. That is why to get certified as a class the court must determine that the class is adequately represented by both the class representatives and the attorneys for the class.
On the other hand, mass actions typically have many allegedly injured parties, too, but instead of choosing one or two people to represent everyone, each person is individually listed as a plaintiff. Since the Class Action Fairness Act was signed into law in 2005, whenever such a mass action lists more than 100 plaintiffs, it is typically deemed to be a class action removable to federal court by defendants. 28 U.S.C. 1332(d)(11). Further, when many lawsuits, even across districts, deal with the same issues, they often are brought together with federal multidistrict litigation governed by the procedural rules found at 28 U.S.C. 1407 and 2112.
Unlike with class actions, each plaintiff in a mass action has responsibilities for doing all the activities that any regular plaintiff must do, like discovery, etc. Further, although there are some procedural mechanisms that can be put in place to try to prove some elements of the case across the board for all claimants, at the end of the day each person's case ultimately is decided individually.
How similar are the plaintiffs' claims in regard to both commonality and typicality?
The other major difference between a class action and mass action is whether the claims are similar enough, either factually and/or legally, to be able to prosecute them as a whole. Class actions only can be brought if they meet all the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23 (or a similar state rule, such as Indiana Rule of Trial Procedure 23), whereas mass actions are a default when all such requirements cannot be met.
There are many procedural rules set in place for determining when a class action is appropriate, but ultimately the idea behind each of them is to make sure that the person who is the class representative can adequately represent the interests of his or her fellow class members. This was touched upon above, but it also is important for the other two major requirements for a class to be certified – commonality and typicality. The idea is that a class representative could not adequately represent another absent person if they do not pose questions of law and fact common to the class, and if the named parties' claims or defenses are not typical of the class.
Mass torts sometimes are not the right fit for class actions.
A common example of claims that are sometimes not appropriate as class actions are mass torts, where multiple people are injured in a large accident. Mass torts can include such things as injuries from pharmaceutical drugs, large-scale accidents and even product liability claims. In fact, the comment to FRCP 23(b)(3) explicitly cautions against the use of the class-action device in mass tort cases. The reasons for this include that these cases involve personal injuries and sometimes even death, meaning that each claim is not easily described as "typical" because there is a need for individual evidence of exposure, injury and damages for each plaintiff, not just class representatives.
Here in Indiana we are unfortunately too familiar with such a large accident – the stage collapse at the Sugarland concert at the Indiana State Fair. In that case, the victims have brought a mass action, not a class action, against various defendants alleging fault for the accident. It would not have been appropriate to try to bring a class action because there was no commonality regarding the injuries, and therefore each plaintiff's case ultimately must be decided on its own. On the other hand, the State Fair stage collapse case is perfect for a mass action as the liability claims (what caused the stage to collapse and who is responsible) will require the same proof for all the injured parties.
There are factual and legal differences between individual claims in mass actions. These differences make it impossible to fulfill the elements of typicality and adequacy which are required for Rule 23(a). Further, these same differences make it difficult to demonstrate that the putative class has the requisite "cohesiveness" which is required in Rule 23(b)(2) and makes it difficult to demonstrate that the putative class has common issues which "predominate," which is required for Rule 23(b) claims.
Another reason not mentioned in procedural rules themselves, but which often is an important factor in why class actions do not practically work for mass torts, is that when someone suffers a personal injury, they and the courts have major concerns about autonomy and being properly represented as a class member. Each plaintiff has significant interest in individually controlling the prosecution of separate actions and a substantial stake in making individual decisions on whether and when to settle. This came into stark focus in the nationwide asbestos settlement classes proposed in Amchem Products, Inc. v. Windsor, 521 U.S. 591 (1997), and Ortiz v. Fibreboard Corp., 527 U.S. 815 (1999), when the individual absent class members had concerns so great about the proposed class-action settlements that they pursued their objections all the way to the United States Supreme Court on multiple occasions.

By The Daily Orange Pulp Staff
From the construction of the Erie Canal to a World War I-era military installation at the New York State Fairgrounds, Syracuse has carved its own role in American history. There are several museums near University Hill people interested in history can visit to learn more about the Erie Canal or central New York wartime training.
318 Erie Blvd. E.
Ally Moreo | Senior Staff Photographer
The Erie Canal Museum contains original artifacts to demonstrate the history of the canal and its influence on the present and future.
Despite being referred to as "Clinton's Ditch" in its early phase, DeWitt Clinton's Erie Canal went on to be a success, having immediate social and economic effects on New York state and beyond, said Vicki Krisak, the museum's communications and outreach director.
Krisak said many people can find a connection to the canal in their family history.
"People came to this country and came to upstate New York and moved themselves and their thoughts and ideas across the canal," she said.
The museum is dedicated to preserving the history of the canal and immersing visitors in canal culture through the last remaining Weighlock Building, she said.
The weighlock was constructed in 1850 and is the only remaining building of its kind. Krisak likened the weigh chamber to a truck weigh stop — boats would pull into the lock and get lowered onto a wooden cradle attached to a scale inside the building to help determine tolls, she said.
Two new exhibits at the museum include photographs of Spencerport by Joe Pompili and a collection of postcards from the canal called "Wish You Were Here." Both exhibits run through May, Krisak said.
The museum is open seven days a week and admission is by donation.
Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St.
Most people are surprised to find there is a museum at the Onondaga Historical Association, said Robert Searing, curator of history at OHA, but the association has a lot to offer.
An interactive, multimedia exhibit about the Underground Railroad in Syracuse is currently on display at OHA. Other displays include a World War I exhibit highlighting sacrifices by soldiers from Onondaga County. The exhibit also showcases Camp Syracuse, a military installation on the Fairgrounds where people from throughout the county went to train, Searing said.
The museum features a 1902 Franklin Automobile — the first ever sold — which is on permanent loan from the Smithsonian. Franklin used to be a major automobile manufacturer in Syracuse, Searing said.
OHA prides itself on its gift shop and bookstore. Selling history books and personalized apparel is how the museum ensures free entry, Searing said.
Searing said he thinks it's worthwhile for college students to learn about the history of the area.
"Part of college is to learn and educate yourself, and I think that education should extend to the place that you call home for four years," Searing said. "Syracuse will always be a part of you — particularly if you're a graduate of SU or of Le Moyne — so you're probably coming back here again and again."
The museum is open Wednesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Those looking to engage in the visual arts scene in central New York have plenty of opportunity to do so in Syracuse. The Coalition of Museums and Arts Centers and the Everson Museum of Art offer exhibits displaying pieces from home and abroad. These sites also offer chances for Syracuse University community members to get involved.
The Coalition of Museums and Art Centers
Colleen Cambier | Contributing Photographer
In the early 2000s, the SU community was booming with arts initiatives and programs and decided to collaborate with arts organizations beyond the Hill.
The Coalition of Museums and Arts Centers formed in 2005 in an effort to unite the arts centers in the SU community under one umbrella. The initiative started with former SU Chancellor Nancy Cantor. She collaborated with Jeffrey Hoone, now executive director of CMAC and Light Work, to establish an organization that would facilitate all arts-related initiatives happening on campus. Before CMAC, several campus arts organizations were working independently and reporting to different parts of the university.
"The idea was we could bring them together under one umbrella so there would be more efficiency and so there would be more collaboration," Hoone said.
CMAC has allowed more collaboration between its partners: Light Work, the Community Folk Art Center, Point of Contact, Special Collections Research Center, The Palitz Gallery in New York City, the Urban Video Project and SU Art Galleries.
As executive director of CMAC, Hoone created SU Art Galleries by combining the Lowe Art Gallery and the Syracuse University Art Collection. Hoone also helped establish the Urban Video Project, an extension of Light Work that projects videos onto the outside wall of the Everson museum.
Through the help of CMAC, campus arts organizations have accomplished larger projects through collaboration. Last year, CMAC helped organize the annual College of Visual and Performing Arts MFA exhibition by coordinating the event across three venues.
This year, Hoone aims to organize more joint fundraising efforts through CMAC.
"If you surround students with greatness, it's going to rub off on them," Hoone said. "We're really fortunate on a campus to have this sort of wealth of the visual arts that we have."
Point of Contact brings global art connections to the city of Syracuse. The gallery, which was founded in 2005, is part of a much older global organization, Punto de Contacto.
POC's vision is to explore contemporary verbal and visual art with a strong emphasis on Latin American contemporary art, said Tere Paniagua, executive director of the gallery. The gallery works with global arts organizations and renowned artists from places such as Argentina and the United Kingdom. Point of Contact was created by Pedro Cuperman, an SU professor, and since its inception has received support from the College of Arts and Sciences.
SU community members are also actively involved with POC. The gallery has worked with emerging artists and will host a show exhibiting the work of SU master's students this semester. Exhibitions featuring faculty members including Andrew Havenhand — an assistant teaching professor of studio arts — and Tula Goenka, a professor of television, radio and film, will also be showcased this year.
"It's a laboratory for scholars, artists, poets and students to explore, to bring new projects," Paniagua said.
The gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday from noon until 5 p.m.
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.
The Everson Museum of Art has brought contemporary American art to Syracuse residents since 1897.
Back then, it was known as the Syracuse Museum of Fine Arts. Everson is known for being the first museum to prioritize collecting American artwork, establish a permanent ceramics collection, start a docent program and display video art, according to the museum's website. The museum is home to about 11,000 pieces of artwork.
Seven exhibitions are currently featured at the museum, including one exploring the work of American artist Jeff Donaldson and "Ripple Effect: Altering the Face of Nature," which focuses on the effect of industrialization on the evolving relationship between nature and people.
Everson also hosts community exhibits displaying the works of local artists and organizations in central New York. The current community exhibition, "Love, Peace and Soul," explores the Black Arts Movement of the 1960s and will be on display until March.
In addition to touring the galleries, community members can also attend film screenings, pottery-making classes and artist talks at the museum. Classes such as scarf making, watercolor painting and yoga are also offered.
The Everson was unable to provide comment on this article due to weather-related closings.
The museum is open Wednesday through Sunday from noon until 5 p.m. and until 8 p.m. Thursday. It opens at 10 a.m. Saturday.
The MOST museum is a hub for science in central New York. The 35,000 square feet of space on South Franklin Street includes exhibits touching on all aspects of science, including energy, air and space and electricity.

The MOST offers a variety of activities and exhibits for visitors of all ages.
The regular exhibits include a digital rock climbing wall, a flight and space exhibit with a flight simulator, the Earth Science Discovery Cave and a planetarium. The MOST has more than 20 exhibits and the only domed IMAX theater in New York state, said Andrew Heagle, marketing and communications coordinator, in an email.
The current special exhibit is, "Paleo: The Story of Life," which presents rare fossils from the last 4.6 billion years from across Africa, the Americas, Asia, Australia and Europe, according to the museum's website. The collection comes from museums across the continent, including The Smithsonian and the American Museum of Natural History. This exhibit will be on display until May 31, per the website.
Aside from its exhibits, the MOST hosts events such as the Central New York Science & Engineering Fair, public speakers and STEM competitions, Heagle said.
On Thursday, the museum will host a Star Crossed Lovers planetarium show for visitors 18 and older that will focus on constellations with mythology based on love. In April, the MOST will hold its annual food, beer and wine-tasting fundraiser, called "TAP into the MOST," per the website.
The MOST offers internship and volunteer opportunities for students, as well as chances to share personal scientific research with the community, Heagle said, adding that the MOST is a fun break from college life on campus. The museum is accessible from SU via the Connective Corridor.
MOST is open Wednesday through Sunday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and until 8 p.m. on the second Thursday of each month. Ticket prices vary per exhibit.

See what your kids are eating at school
Submitted by teddyrooseveltp... on Wed, 11/27/2013 - 10:57
Salon has a piece about an effort by the organization Do Something, collecting photos of 7,000 school lunches from students, then posting them on a site where users could vote on whether they would eat it or not.
Take a look at what kids in NC are eating. What do you think of what they're getting?
Farah Sheikh, who started the project, told Salon she was surprised by the sheer amount of pizza and carbohydrates that popped up in photographs, not to mention the abundance of styrofoam trays on which they're served. The worst offenders, with the most "toss it" votes, were found in Arkansas, New Hampshire, West Virginia, Alabama and Kansas.
This isn't just a case of kids being picky, Sheikh said. From the data she collected, it's clear that students aren't clamoring for even more pizza. In fact, she said, "we found that 91 percent of students who thought their lunch was very nutritious also reported being satisfied with what was on their plate." Of the students who reported being served unhealthy food, 71 percent said they were unsatisfied, and 58 percent said they threw out part or all of their lunches multiples times per week. Just 9 percent of students served nutritious lunches did the same.

Since we profiled her in the July/August 2016 issue of Haute Living magazine, Ayesha Curry has upped her game tenfold. The wife to basketball hot shot Stephen Curry, launched a meal delivery service geared toward families (Homemade), debuted a television show on the Food Network (Ayesha's Home Kitchen), she appeared at the South Beach Wine and Food Festival, developed her own line of cookware, and became a Covergirl spokesmodel. In just over a year she established herself as one of the Bay Area's top ten boss ladies. Now she's added bonafide restauranteur to her resume. International Smoke, her pop-up concept in partnership with Michael Mina Test Kitchen, evolved into a stand alone restaurant. The new International Smoke is now open at 301 Mission Street in San Francisco in the space occupied by an old Mina restaurant, RN74.
International Smoke is a collaboration between Curry and Mina, inspired by their individual heritages and travels. The menu features a global compilation of dishes enhanced by fire, smoke, and grilling. "My diversity is reflected in the way that I cook," Curry said in a statement. "Grilling is the perfect way to experiment and taste different flavors, cuts of meat, and styles of cooking. They all have one thing in common: that delicious taste is reminiscent of an outdoor family gathering! It just doesn't get any better." Curry worked extensively with Mina's 600 member culinary team to hone her recipes and learn techniques from other cultures. For example, chef Raj Dixit, of Michael Mina's SF flagship, shared his mother's Indian fish fry recipe. Chef and partner of Pabu, Ken Tominaga, taught Curry how to cook over binchotan, a type of charcoal used in traditional Japanese cookery.
International Smoke is open for lunch, Monday through Friday, and dinner every night of the week. "Our menu highlights global flavors that are balanced out by pairing an array of spices with delicious meats and fresh produce, and we have created dishes that are bold and dynamic," Mina said in the same statement. Many of the dishes were inspired by the items prepared in Mina's kitchens for family meal before service. So what's on the menu? Char-grilled shellfish, smoked burrata, shaking beef lettuce wraps, duck wings, pork shoulder, pork ribs, Armenian lamb, Argentine rib eye, and much more. The space was designed by Los Angeles-based firm, Bishop Pass, and the beverage program features fresh, seasonal cocktails inspired by countries around the world along with a global beer list.

More Guantánamo Mishegas (The Unlawful Detention of a US Citizen Edition)
by Steve Vladeck
Just when it seems like the ongoing, neverending saga that is the Guantánamo military commissions can't get any stranger, there's this: As Carol Rosenberg (who else) reported in today's Miami Herald, "a witness who was reluctant to testify during pretrial proceedings was seized somewhere in the United States by U.S. Marshals on Tuesday, hours after the military judge in the USS Cole case ordered enforcement of a subpoena to testify." Carol's story provides the whole background, but in a nutshell, a witness who was going to testify from Virginia via remote videolink (as part of a hearing into whether disqualified Pentagon legal advisers were inappropriately continuing to participate in the Al-Nashiri case) refused to show, apparently due to a dispute over reimbursements. Nonplussed, the presiding judge issued an order of attachment, pursuant to which U.S. Marshals located and arrested the no-show witness.
In case you don't keep your copy of the Manual for Military Commissions on your desk, Rule 703(e)(2)(G) expressly authorizes issuance of such a writ "to compel the attendance of a witness or production of documents," if there is "probable cause to believe that the witness was duly served with a subpoena, that the subpoena was issued in accordance with these rules, that appropriate fees and mileage were tendered to the witness, that the witness is material, that the witness refused or willfully neglected to appear at the time and place specified on the subpoena, and that no valid excuse reasonably appears for the witness' failure to appear." And 10 U.S.C. § 847 even makes it a crime (triable in civilian court) for military commission witnesses who have been subpoenaed to willfully refuse to appear, albeit only so long as the witness "has been provided a means for reimbursement from the Government for fees and mileage at the rates allowed to witnesses attending the courts of the United States," which appears to be the issue here.
So what's the problem? Well, folks who remember the bad old days of the post-September 11 detainee litigation may recall the so-called "Non-Detention Act," 18 U.S.C. § 4001(a), which provides that "No citizen shall be imprisoned or otherwise detained by the United States except pursuant to an Act of Congress," and which therefore figured prominently in the litigation over the detention of US citizens as enemy combatants. Although 10 U.S.C. § 847 appears to provide authority for arresting the witness (and prosecuting him in civilian court) on grounds of non-compliance, it quite clearly does not authorize what Judge Spath did here, i.e., the issuance of a writ of attachment to compel the witnesses's participation before the military commission by force. And although Rule 703(e)(2)(G) does expressly authorize Judge Spath's actions, it isn't an "Act of Congress," and so cannot satisfy the Non-Detention Act. Nor do I think statutory authority can rest upon the All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651, because (1) it seems like a stretch to suggest that such a statute is the kind of specific authorization the Non-Detention Act contemplates; and (2) the commissions have generally disclaimed their authority to issue extraordinary writs of all kinds (the CMCR used to even have a rule that petitions for extraordinary writs would be summarily dismissed).
Instead, I think the issue rises and falls on a statute no one has yet pointed to–28 U.S.C. § 1826(a):
Whenever a witness in any proceeding before or ancillary to any court or grand jury of the United States refuses without just cause shown to comply with an order of the court to testify or provide other information, including any book, paper, document, record, recording or other material, the court, upon such refusal, or when such refusal is duly brought to its attention, may summarily order his confinement at a suitable place until such time as the witness is willing to give such testimony or provide such information.
The question, methinks, is whether a Guantánamo military commission is a "court . . . of the United States" for purposes of this section. Although I have argued in other contexts that the answer is "yes," there are substantial arguments to the contrary. If those arguments are correct, then the Guantánamo military commissions themselves, and not just the Department of Defense, are now unlawfully detaining a U.S. citizen–and all over what appears to be a fairly innocuous dispute over expense reimbursements. At the very least, here we have yet another major question of first impression in the context of the military commissions that would simply be a non-issue in civilian courts.
If this all weren't so serious, and if the snail's pace of the commissions weren't such an embarrassing policy failure and de-legitimizing feature of the process (to say nothing of the still-unresolved major jurisdictional challenges in both Al-Nashiri's case and elsewhere), it would almost be funny…

England removes quarantine obligation for 59 countries
July 3, 2020 by Zeal
People from 59 countries will no longer be required to quarantine for two weeks from July 10 after arriving in England, British Transport Minister Grant Shapps announced it today.
To prevent further spread of the coronavirus, the British government initially instituted a mandatory two-week quarantine for all visitors. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has not yet succeeded in convincing the governments of Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales to relax the quarantine obligation. They disagree with the UK government's approach.
Today the British government published a list of 59 countries and jurisdictions that are excluded. Those countries, therefore, no longer have to be quarantined for fourteen days, unless they have also visited countries that are not on the list in the fourteen days before their arrival.
London has retained most of the European Union's member states, but quarantine obligations still apply to Portugal and Sweden, for example. The United States and China also failed to make the list.
Many countries were not happy with the UK's quarantine obligation. In mid-June, for example, Spain considered imposing a two-week 'reciprocal' quarantine obligation on British visitors. The Spaniards waived this at the last minute.
Labor wants research into Johnson's corona approach
Labor opposition leader and frontman Keir Starmer, meanwhile, calls an investigation into how the Johnson government has addressed the corona pandemic inevitable. According to Starmer, Johnson didn't act fast enough.
"I think an investigation is inescapable," said the opposition leader at Sky. "There will be an investigation in due course." The Labor leader said he now finds it most important that British politics focus on fighting the corona crisis.
When asked what he thinks of the government's response to the pandemic, Starmer said, "Too slow, inattentive, it really needs to be improved." About Johnson, Starmer said that the prime minister is good at rhetoric but bad at governing the country.
The United Kingdom is one of the countries most affected by the corona pandemic. According to data from Jonhs Hopkins University, 285,268 Britons have been diagnosed with coronavirus infection. Forty-four thousand eighty of them died. The country ranks sixth in the series of countries with the most infections and third in the list of countries with the most deaths from the virus outbreak.
