Why Microsoft had to move away from Windows Mobile
Published by Ewan Spence at 23:49 UTC, February 2nd 2014
Windows 8.1 is being 'rejigged' to look more like Windows 7 than Windows 8, as Microsoft appears to be backing down in its push to the Metro/Tablet interface across its desktop OS. It's an interesting move, and one that reminds me of the media's calls to carry on with Windows Mobile instead of switching to Windows Phone several years ago. While the switch back to the Windows 7 look feels right, I started to think... should Microsoft have stayed with Windows Mobile?
Let's set the scene. With the news that Microsoft are planning to return the default starting view of Windows 8.1 as the 'Windows 7 style Desktop', there are rather a lot of anguished stories on why Microsoft should stay the course on the 'Metro' interface, editorials on why this is exactly what IT departments and Enterprise customers actually want, and rather a lot of 'I told you so' posts from well-read technology sites.
This isn't the first time that Microsoft have embarked on a significant user interface overhaul, and neither is it the first time that this overhaul has created a notable volume of discussion and opinion online. Just a few years ago, with Windows Mobile putting in a decent showing at the market share coal face of US smartphone usage, the team from Redmond decided that the day of Windows Mobile was drawing to a close.
Rather than move to Windows Mobile 7, the new mobile operating system would be called Windows Phone 7, and it would use the new design language that was already in use on Windows Media Centre and the Zune HD media players. An intriguing crash of square tiles, truncated typography, and modern cutting-edge design, the look of the UI was a long way from the information dense home screen and Windows XP styled icons and menus of Windows Mobile.
Users would be going from an almost printed agenda-like view of their day, listing appointments, events, emails, and calls on what we would now call a notifications screen. Information would be displayed on tiles, alerting the user that something was waiting for them and they could touch to find out. It was a rather radical change from Microsoft.
And there was another sting in the tail. Windows Phone would not be code compatible with Windows Mobile. Developers would have to start again, reworking applications for the new look and improved API's of the new platform.
All of which sounds rather like the situation that Windows 8 finds itself. But unlike Windows Phone, Windows 8 has maintained the ability to run legacy applications, and left the legacy UI in the system. Neither has Windows 8 been a (total) failure, but there is still a sense that Microsoft pushed too much change too quickly, and now they are rolling back to the 'last safe commercial point'.
Even after its slow start, a rollback was never an option with Windows Phone 7.
It's easy to look back at Windows Mobile and argue that Microsoft made the wrong decision in doing a 'Day Zero' reset of their mobile plans with Windows Phone. The Windows Mobile platform had a solid range of applications, it was used by a number of manufacturers, and the ActiveSync technology integrated especially well with Microsoft's Enterprise Server technology. Its market share in the US peaked at 42% in 2007, and it had solid support from the main networks.
Windows Phone would struggle to claim any of those as wins. Network support is limited at best, market share is still in the sub 5% niche territory in the US, and 95% of the platform is built by a single division of Nokia (a division that will very soon, short of a rather spectacular news report, be owned by Microsoft).
But our rose-tinted glasses need to remember one thing. The success of Windows Mobile was before 'The Great Divide' of the smartphone world. The release of the iPhone and the rise of Android, independent of any choices that Microsoft made with their mobile strategy.
Microsoft's plan then, unlike now, was to start again with a blank sheet of paper. They were behind the curve compared to iOS and Android, but a new Operating System and associated platform might hand them the chance to compete. While Windows Phone has not reached the heights of the two newer mobile platforms, it did something else - it kept Microsoft in the mobile game.
You have to look at the operating systems that were around for the first flowering of the smartphone concept and ask where they are today. The rise and fall of Symbian OS has been very well documented on our sister site, All About Symbian. Like many older operating systems, a hardcore of users remain in place, modding, tweaking, and keeping the hardware and software alive. Ultimately Symbian became too old, too spaghettified (in code, at least), and unable to be developed for the modern needs of a smartphone. Tool-chains, developer code, and being old enough to no longer be fashionable, spelled the end of Symbian.
Trace Palm OS back to its early days and you find a compatriot of Symbian (née EPOC and SIBO). Just as Symbian was having its final summer with the Nokia N95, Palm OS had one last push before it was sold to Access, and that was that. The team floated a new device with a new card based interface in WebOS, but while there was a love in the room for the team, WebOS led a short and troubled life.
BlackBerry's OS from those days has been forced to keep up with the modern trends, but you'd be hard pushed to recommend BB7 to anyone except someone looking for strong legacy support for an older IT structure. Just like Palm, the Canadians have taken a swing at a new OS (BB10). One year after launch, it's registering a 0.0% market share in the US.
Windows Mobile was a strong OS when the above OS's were also strong. Looking at the capability of Windows Mobile alongside the other options on sale in those years, and looking at the fate of the operating companies that tried to stay the course, there is nothing you can extrapolate that would suggest staying with Windows Mobile (and evolving it) would have been the correct choice in 2009.
If Microsoft had heeded the calls to stay with the evolution of Windows Mobile, I suspect that they would have followed that generation of mobile Operating Systems into obscurity. Android and iOS would have continued to grow at the expense of the older platforms, including Windows Mobile, and I cannot honestly imagine the white-ish knight of Nokia going with the Windows Mobile platform - they would have been left with the Hobson's choice of remaining with the immature Meego platform or ceding control of their user base and some of the core app experience to Google and Android. [With no Windows Phone, I suspect Nokia would have finally gone with Android - Ed.]
Not only would Windows Mobile have spluttered out after perhaps another two years of life. Microsoft would have been left without a 'modern' mobile operating system and left with their own interesting situation of either launching a new OS from a 0.0% launchpad, or looking at their own fork of something like Android.
Windows Phone 7 and Windows Phone 8 have had a rocky road, and there have been some decisions that could have been made differently in their evolution, but the decision to disrupt Windows Mobile with Windows Phone has allowed them to transition into the second decade of the 21st century and still be in the smartphone game, albeit in third place.
While I can see the rationale behind the decision to 'demote' the Metro interface in Windows 8.1 (assuming that actually happens, it's still based on online discussion and unnamed sources), Windows 8 is an evolution of Windows 7, and this is more a presentational issue than a requirement to clear out the code base and reset the platform for the next ten years. The move away from Windows Mobile, violent as it was, ensured Microsoft was going to be a contender in the next wave of devices.
Being the 'third ecosystem' might not be the result that Microsoft aimed for, but it is a positive result, and given the turmoil the smartphone market has been through in the last few years it's a good return for Redmond. Just as the Window 8/Windows 8.1 situation shows, Microsoft can react to circumstances. If they hadn't, they wouldn't have a smartphone platform in 2014.

Haines City teen expresses concerns after discovering handgun in Walmart display
Kathy Leigh Berkowitz @kberkowitzthel1
Shakiera Gamble: "When it fell, I was looking at the hole (barrel opening) of the gun. It was pointing at me."
HAINES CITY — A Haines City teenager found a handgun on a Walmart store display shelf early Tuesday morning, prompting an investigation by police.
According to the Haines City Police Department, Shakiera Gamble, 19, was the customer who discovered the 9mm Taurus pistol around 2 a.m. after she and her family went to Walmart in search of comforters.
"I was going to redecorate my room," Gamble said during an interview with The Ledger.
Needing assistance getting the comforter off the shelf, she had requested a Walmart employee's help.
The comforter, enclosed in a clear, sealed bag, fell to the ground, and when Gamble saw the gun, she said she screamed.
"When it fell, I was looking at the hole (barrel opening) of the gun," she said. "It was pointing at me."
According to Mike Ferguson, public information officer for the Haines City Police Department, officers will follow up with the store's loss prevention department to view surveillance footage of the area in order to determine how the handgun ended up on the shelf.
Gamble said she feels Walmart needs more security, and added that "people need to be careful when they grab stuff."
"I just hate guns," she said. "We can't go nowhere without having guns be involved. Everybody, please be careful."
As for what anyone should do if they encounter a handgun in a place where it shouldn't be, Police Chief James Elensky said, "If you see something, say something. Avoid leaving it unattended, but don't pick it up. One wrong, unintended move could prove deadly."

Rory McIlroy won for the first time since March last year during an epic finish at TPC Sawgrass following a breakthrough triumph for Italian Guido Migliozzi at the European Tour's Kenyan Open.
Despite two stunning putts on the 17th by Eddie Pepperell then Jhonattan Vegas plus a resurgence from USA Ryder Cup captain Jim Furyk Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy edged home in the Players Championship. McIlroy finished at 16 under one clear of Furyk after carding a final round two-under 70 as the Sunday action round ebbed a flowed on the back nine, highlighted by some of the Island Green heroics.
Heading into the Kenyan Open Guido Migliozzi was ranked 576th in the world but that short-changed his ability with the Vicenza native a three-time winner on the Alps Tour in a 12-month period from September 2017 to late last year. Starting the final round tied with Adri Arnaus of Spain the 22-year-old hit the lead on the 12th and held his nerve to win at only his 14th European Tour start to go with Francesco Molinari's win the week prior in Florida are we seeing an inspired period in Italian golf?
This week the PGA Tour returns to Palm Harbour for the Valspar Championship. This was the scene of Tiger Woods' near win last year only to be foiled by England's Paul Casey at the Inisbrook Resort's Cooperhead Course. The LPGA resumes in Arizona with Inbee Park the defending champion at the Bank of Hope Founders Cup and completing the top line golf the European Tour heads to Malaysia for the Maybank Championship.
The Spaniard went against the advice of his caddie on the 11th at TPC Sawgrass and eventually slumped toT12 but prior to that stretching back to the European Tour's DP World Tour Championship he'd only once finished outside the top ten in seven of eight starts including his win in the Hero World Challenge.
The world number 50 has five consecutive top 30 finishes and he been in positions for a weekend push only to fall away in recent weeks.
With his mother from Kenya it was somewhat of a surprise to see Rai skip the Kenyan Open (which he won on the Challenge Tour) a fair pointer to this venue.
With the World Super 6 Perth title in the bag Ryan Fox, finally, has a European Tour title, and after a rushed trip to Mexico the Kiwi will be more settled following his T11 in his home open.
Feb 13: Nelly Korda win and Paul Dunne third.
Feb 20: Ledioda missed the cut and in Mexico Ancer (T39) was the best of the three.
Feb 27: Best two were Brooke Henderson (T15) after taking an eight on one of the par fives in her opening round and Harrison Endycott T17.
March 6: Matt Millar T23 in NZ was the best result in the tough weather on the South Island.
March 13 Justin Thomas T35 was the best of the TPC Sawgrass four.

Q: CMake error while running tar I am trying to copy a directory using a CMake script.
execute_process(COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E tar czf "${name}.orig.tar.gz" "${folder}"
                WORKING_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/Debian)

but it is throwing an error.
CMake Error: archive_write_header: Can't translate pathname 'files/osgModels/textures/índice.jpeg' to UTF-8

Now I end up with an archive which doesn't contain all the files.
However I can successfully create the archive when running tar independently, i.e. not using CMake.

A: I think you're seeing this CMake bug which was resolved after version 2.8.12.2.  I'm not sure whether the fix made it into 3.0.0 or if it was 3.0.1, but either way, if you update CMake to the current version, you should see the problem disappear.
(I expect the í character of índice is the problem here)

Try to remember back to when you past your driving test, the first thing on your mind was what car you were going to get. The one thing that we did not do was look for the best cars for teens when it comes to those practical and safe models. However, we do look for what had coolness, along with how much you can modify them.
I can safely say that my father chose my car — well the money did come from my Nan. This did upset me a bit, but it was the best choice for me at the time. If I could turn back time I wouldn't change a thing. So now you are of age how do you know what to choose? Well AP Tuned has the 2011 Consumer Reports has a list of the right cars for you teens, and it is advice that you should take.
If you are looking for a car that is both safe and reliable, then the Acura TSX might be that perfect car for you. This car comes with the Honda K24 engine, which as we know is very reliable. However, if you want a car for a number of safety features, then a 2009+ Ford Focus is the car for you. You cannot modify them like you can other models, so less chance of accidents, as well as not spending all of your money on it.
The other four cars perfect for a teenager are the 2007+ Hyundai Sonata or Hyunday Elantra, 2007+ Mazda3, 2008 Scion xB and finally the 2007+ VW Jetta/Rabbit/Golf. We are sure that you have other ideas, if so please let us know.
The Acura TSX is a super car, but do you think the average teenager or there parents will shell out that kind of money for an Acura?

Millbrae is a city on the Peninsula in the San Francisco Bay Area of California. It is south of San Bruno and north of Burlingame. It is very close to San Francisco International Airport and is an important Bay Area transit hub because it has the southernmost BART station on the Peninsula and is served by Caltrain.
37°36′3″N 122°24′5″W
Map of Millbrae
The large 37.6003-122.38671 Millbrae Transit Center is near the intersection of El Camino Real and Millbrae Avenue. It is served by BART, Caltrain, and SamTrans[dead link]. This is the terminating BART station for trains going south from San Francisco, so it is a common transfer point for people connecting between BART and Caltrain. There is a BART spur to the San Francisco International Airport (SFO IATA) just north of the Millbrae Station.
You can catch a Caltrain at Millbrae for points further south on the peninsula (a few travel down to Gilroy). Caltrains going north from Millbrae all terminate in San Francisco at 4th and King Streets. If your destination in San Francisco or your point of departure from San Francisco is anywhere near the 4th & King Caltrain station (near the South Beach area of SOMA), you should take the Caltrain rather than BART. The Caltrain trip between San Francisco and Millbrae is 18 minutes ("baby bullet"), 20 minutes (express), or 31 minutes (local). BART takes 36 minutes to San Francisco's Montgomery Station, and Caltrain is a far more pleasant ride. However, Caltrain takes more planning; it runs less frequently with more limited hours than BART.
The San Mateo Transit District, samTrans[dead link], provide bus service around Millbrae and beyond.
37.604829-122.3764491 Bayfront Park, 1-99 Old Bayshore Hwy. A park by the bay with good views of the planes taking off and landing at SFO. A nice place to relax for a few minutes, especially if you're biking through or staying at one of the hotels nearby. (updated Nov 2017)

If you're looking for a way to pass the time while waiting for a Caltrain connection, the Spur Trail is probably your best bet. Most other activities are either a little too far from the transit center or have very limited hours.
37.600983-122.3918871 Millbrae Art & Wine Festival, Broadway Avenue between Victoria and Meadow Glen. Labor Day weekend. Big, popular street festival with food, crafts, music, and entertainment. Held annually since 1970. (updated Nov 2017)
37.5939-122.3952 Spur Trail. A paved walking trail with fields, trees, and some areas for sports. It's split into two sections. (updated Nov 2017)
37.597133-122.4020433 Spur Trail (Northern Section). The northern segment of the trail has a north-south orientation. The trail begins on Richmond Drive on the northwest corner of Taylor Middle School. It goes uphill slightly as it heads southeast into a grove of oak and eucalyptus trees. From then on, the linear trail goes into an open field and runs just to the west of the middle school. Heading into another patch of eucalyptus trees, the trail crosses two streets as it skirts the southwest corner of the middle school. South of the middle school, the twisty trail ascends and descends through some grassly woodlands until it ends on Hillcrest Drive. (updated Nov 2017)
37.597138-122.3895344 Spur Trail (Southern Section), along Milbrae Ave (a few blocks west of the transit center). Located about half a mile (800 m) south of the northern segment, the southern part of the Spur trail has an east-west orientation. It begins on South Ashton Drive close to where Millbrae Creek dives underground. The trail heads east through a grove filled with different types of trees, ranging from oak and Monterey Pine to the west to mostly eucalyptus to the east. The trail roughly parallels Millbrae Creek for a tiny distance where the creek re-emerges from the ground but then disappears underground under the path. As the trail twists and turns through the Spur property parkland, it parallels Millbrae Avenue and skirts the northern friges of Mills High School's running track/football and baseball fields. The trail turns by a skatepark and several tennis courts before terminating on the corner of Millbrae and Magnolia Drive about two blocks away from the transit center. (updated Nov 2017)
37.588978-122.4130675 Crystal Springs Regional Trail (Sawyer Camp Trail, San Andreas Trail). A trail to the west of Millbrae for walking and biking. The northern part is called the San Andreas segment, the middle part is called the Sawyer Camp segment, and further south is the Crystal Springs segment. Map. (updated Nov 2017)

Q: Access specified columns from .mat file in python I have a total of 61225 matrices each having the same variable names with different data. I am interested only in the file having variable name Pose_Para this is a 1x7 file out of which I am only interested in the 2nd,3rd and 4th column. My problem is how do I access these columns only so that I obtain a matrix with size [61225 x 3]?
Here is what I have done till now.
import glob
from scipy.io import loadmat

entries = glob.glob('300W_LP/*/*.mat', recursive=True)
print(len(entries))
for entry in entries:
    para = loadmat(entry, variable_names = ("Pose_Para",))["Pose_Para"]

A: I'm presuming that para = loadmat(entry, variable_names = ("Pose_Para",))["Pose_Para"] results in para being a 7-element numpy array. If that's the case, you can do:
import numpy as np

# ...file handling...
allparas = np.empty((len(entries),3))
for ctr,entry in enumerate(entries):
    allparas[ctr,:] = loadmat(entry, variable_names = ("Pose_Para",))["Pose_Para"][1:3]

Note that you might need to add squeeze_me = True to your loadmat call. I'm not sure if loadmat needs this to yield a 7-element 1D Numpy array as opposed to a 1x7 2D array.
You could also use a list comprehension to write the for loop as a one-liner:
allparas = np.array([loadmat(entry, variable_names= ("Pose_Para",))["Pose_Para"][1:3] for entry in entries])

What you need to know about child support and child skull cases in India
Child support cases have increased significantly in the last decade in India, but the government's ability to collect payments has remained in doubt.
The child support case system is very different from the other countries in the world, says Amarnath Amarasinghe, senior counsel at Delhi-based law firm Prasad Amarasinghi.
In India, the Supreme Court is the ultimate authority, and cases are dealt with on the basis of the court's decision.
"It's quite difficult to collect child support because there are a number of different cases," Amarasingh says.
The system relies heavily on the courts decisions, he says.
The Indian government is trying to change this, however, with the launch of a National Child Support Cell, aimed at improving the collection of payments.
The Cell has brought together the Child Support Investigation and Enforcement Office, the National Child Poverty Action Network, the Central Child Support Agency and other government agencies.
It will also help the states and territories collect payments.
"We want to make sure that the system is as robust as it can be," says K Sankaran, the head of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, who was not involved in the Cell.
"But there is also a big challenge."
The Cell will also provide financial assistance to those who can't afford to collect their child support payments, and will help the Child Development Department, the government agency tasked with collecting child support in the country.
While child support cases are increasing in India at a time when poverty is growing, Amarasinge says the government is still grappling with how to improve the collection process.
"There is still a huge amount of money that has not been collected, and it's just the tip of the iceberg," he says, adding that the government should be focusing on other priorities such as the eradication of poverty.

NASSCO delivers second LNG-powered containership to TOTE Maritime
The following is the text of a news release from General Dynamics NASSCO:
(SAN DIEGO) — Today, General Dynamics NASSCO, a wholly owned subsidiary of General Dynamics, delivered the world's second containership to be operated by liquefied natural gas (LNG), Perla Del Caribe. The ship was delivered two months ahead of schedule and is the sister ship of the world's first LNG-powered containership, Isla Bella, also built by NASSCO for TOTE Maritime.
"The Perla Del Caribe and the Isla Bella exemplify world-leading, innovative technologies being used to build oceangoing ships that are cost-effective, friendly to the environment and offer a competitive edge," said Kevin Graney, vice president and general manager at General Dynamics NASSCO. "NASSCO shipbuilders are proud to have successfully built the world's very first LNG-powered containerships."
As part of a two-ship contract signed in December 2012 with TOTE, the 764-foot-long Marlin-class containerships will be the largest dry cargo ships powered by LNG, making them the cleanest cargo-carrying ships anywhere in the world. This groundbreaking green ship technology dramatically decreases emissions and increases fuel efficiency when compared to conventionally-powered ships, the equivalent of removing nearly 16,000 automobiles from the road.
"It has been a pleasure working with the men and women of NASSCO over the last three years to bring the Marlin class from concept to reality," said Anthony Chiarello, president and CEO of TOTE. "The Isla Bella is already serving the people and communities of Puerto Rico and we are excited to introduce the Perla Del Caribe into the trade next month."
The Isla Bella was delivered to TOTE two months ahead of schedule in October 2015. This Jones Act-qualified ship has been operating between Jacksonville, Fla., and San Juan, Puerto Rico.
As a complement to its government new construction business segment, NASSCO maintains an extensive history of commercial shipbuilding. Since 2005, NASSCO has delivered 12 commercial ships and currently has seven commercial ships in its backlog scheduled to be delivered between 2016 and 2017. For its commercial work, NASSCO partners with South Korean shipbuilding power, DSME, for access to state-of-the-art ship design and shipbuilding technologies.
NASSCO specializes in the design and construction of auxiliary and support ships for the U.S. Navy and oil tankers and dry cargo carriers for commercial markets. It is also a major provider of repair services for the Navy, with capabilities in San Diego, Calif.; Norfolk, Va.; Bremerton, Wash.; and Mayport, Fla. Its San Diego location remains the only major shipyard on the West Coast of the United States conducting new construction and repair.

News Reserve Bank introduces revised outsourcing policy
Reserve Bank introduces revised outsourcing policy
The Reserve Bank today published a revised outsourcing policy for large banks.
"The revised policy aims to ensure that a bank can continue to operate in a situation where a key service provider fails," Deputy Governor Grant Spencer said.
The revision of the outsourcing policy follows a review by the Reserve Bank, which concluded that greater clarity of the policy and more consistency of application by banks would be desirable to ensure that they can continue to provide required services in times of stress.
"The revised policy sets requirements that banks need to meet when outsourcing particular functions and services, especially if the service provider is a related party of the bank.
"An ongoing ability by banks to provide liquidity and basic services to customers, even in times of stress, is an important part of maintaining a sound and efficient financial system," Mr Spencer said.
Under the revised policy, banks are required to ensure that a range of resolution options, including open bank resolution, are available in the unlikely event of a bank failure. This supports financial stability in times of stress.
It applies to locally-incorporated registered banks with net liabilities of more than $10 billion, and comes into force on 1 October 2017. Affected banks will have five years to come into compliance with the revised policy, which replaces an earlier policy introduced in 2006.
Mr Spencer acknowledged the constructive involvement of the banking industry and other interested parties who were actively engaged during the development of the revised policy.
"Our engagement with the banking industry and others has been instrumental in helping to minimise costs to the banking industry while still ensuring that the key objectives of the revised policy are clearly understood and achievable."
He said the Reserve Bank would work with banks to ensure a practical path to compliance with the policy within the five year deadline.

A comparison of the Kelvin, Celsius, and Fahrenheit temperature scales. The freezing point of water is 273 kelvins; water boils at 373 kelvins. The zero point on the Kelvin scale is absolute zero, the coldest possible temperature.
Original artwork by Windows to the Universe staff (Randy Russell).
Use of the Kelvin Temperature Scale in Astronomy
Kelvin Temperature Scale
The Kelvin scale is a temperature scale that is often used in astronomy and space science. You are probably more familiar with the Celsius (or Centigrade) scale, which is part of the metric system of measures, and the Fahrenheit scale, which is used in the English system.
The Kelvin scale is similar to the Celsius scale. Zero degrees is defined as the freezing point of water in the Celsius system. However, the zero point in the Kelvin scale is defined as the coldest possible temperature, known as "absolute zero". Absolute zero is –273.15° C or –459.67° F. The "size" of a one degree change in temperature is exactly the same in the Celsius and Kelvin scales, so the freezing point of water is at a temperature of 273.15 kelvins (that is, 273.15 degrees above absolute zero). Water boils at a temperature of 100° C, which is 373.15 kelvins (or 212° F).
Notice how we don't say "degrees Kelvin" like we would say "degrees Celsius" or "degrees Fahrenheit". Instead of saying a temperature is "300 degrees Kelvin", we say the temperature is "300 kelvins".
To convert a temperature measurement between the Kelvin scale and the Celsius or Fahrenheit scales, use the following formulas:
K = C + 273.15 or C = K - 273.15
K = (F + 459.67) / 1.8 or F = 1.8 K - 459.67
... where K stands for the temperature in kelvins, C for temperature in degrees Celsius, and F for temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.
The Kelvin scale was named after William Thomson, Lord Kelvin, who was a prominent Irish/Scottish physicist and engineer of the latter part of the 19th century. Thomson did important work on the physics of heat as well as other disciplines within the physical sciences.

I don't agree with the council's decision to reject my challenge. What can I do?
What is a 'representation'?
When will the council respond to my representation?
I don't agree with the council's decision to reject my representation. What can I do?
Where can I find Civil Parking Enforcement policy information including which parking offences carry penalties?
Civil Parking Enforcement (CPE) is the name given to the transfer of powers from the Police to local authorities for enforcing parking contraventions. This was made possible by the Traffic Management Act 2004 and included statutory guidance and operational guidance to local authorities as to how it should be managed and the subsequent appeal process for the tickets issued.
The key differences are:
the majority of parking contraventions, including parking on yellow lines and in parking bays, are no longer criminal
local authorities enforce parking controls and keep the income from parking tickets – this money can be used to improve local transport
a new type of parking ticket, called a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN), has been introduced.
Whydid the council introduce Civil Parking Enforcement (CPE)?
Humberside Police transferred powers to East Riding of Yorkshire Council in 2011 to enforce parking regulations within the East Riding.
The council, as the Highway Authority, has a legal obligation to keep the highways free moving, safe and available to all users. One of the tools used by the council to achieve this is by the use of parking regulations/restrictions. This is why it introduced CPE.
How do I paymy Penalty Charge Notice (PCN)?
You can pay your Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) by any of the following methods:
Pay your parking penalty charge by using our online payment service:
Pay/view my Penalty Charge Notice online (external council website)
Parking penalty charges can be paid via the telephone 24/7 on the following telephone number:
Tel: (0300) 3301 515
Please have your debit or credit card ready.
The option to pay by cash, in person, is available at any customer service centre (finder map). Please do not post cash and note that there is no facility for personal callers at any East Riding of Yorkshire Council Office.
Please note: not all customer service centres have the facilities to accept payment of penalty charge notices. The customer service centre (finder map)will tell you what facilities are available at each centre.
Please note: Before attempting to make payment by the above methods please wait two working days from the date of service of the PCN to allow the council's computer systems to be updated.
Parking penalty charges can be paid by post to:
East Riding of Yorkshire Council CPE
HU17 6FB
Please make cheques or postal orders payable to 'East Riding of Yorkshire Council' and write your penalty charge notice reference number and address on the back of your cheque or postal order. If a receipt is required a stamped addressed envelope must be enclosed. Post dated cheques will not be accepted.
Please allow at least three working days for your payment to transit the Royal Mail Postal Service.
Please note: cash must not be sent through the post.
How much will I have to payif I receive a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN)?
If you receive a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) you will be charged at either a higher rate of £70 or a lower rate of £50. The rate you pay will depend on the severity of the contravention. In both cases a 50% reduction will be applied if the Penalty Charge Notice is paid within 14 days of issue. See tables below for further information about different contraventions.
Further information about charges
Using the Traffic Management Act 2004 part 6 Legislation East Riding of Yorkshire Council employs Civil Enforcement Officers (CEO) to issue Penalty Charge Notices (PCN) to vehicle owners who are believed to have contravened the parking regulations. This enforcement is based in the civil justice system. Consequently the penalty is a 'charge' not a 'fine'. In the event of non payment action is taken to recover the 'charge' as a debt through the civil law process.
In 2008 Central Government changed the value of a PCN depending upon the severity of the parking contravention. They have put each contravention into one of two bands, higher and lower. East Riding of Yorkshire Council has no say in which contravention goes into which band.
Under these changes, the charge for the East Riding area is now set at £70 for the Higher band and £50 for the Lower band and discounted by 50% for payment within 14 days. There is a common misconception that it is the opposite that is true: 'the charge being doubled within a couple of weeks if not paid'. In reality the charge is £70 / £50 from date of issue but within the first 14 days the charge is reduced by one half for those who decide to accept the charge and pay the penalty. At the end of the discounted period the charge becomes payable in full.
There are facilities for the motorist to challenge a PCN. This is done first through writing to the CPE Team, details are on the reverse of the PCN, and if that proves inconclusive, by making an appeal to the independent parking adjudication service (the Traffic Penalty Tribunal). The independent adjudication service are only interested in the facts of the case and will not consider mitigating circumstances, however it can request that a local authority reconsider its judgement on the basis of new information.

When a 'challenge' or 'representation' is lodged with the council, or subsequently an 'appeal' with the Traffic Penalty Tribunal, the case is placed on hold until an adjudication is reached. If a challenge, representation or an appeal is rejected the timetable is reset as follows:
Challenges lodged with the council before day fourteen, the case is reset to day one.
Challenges lodged with the council between day fourteen and day twenty eight, the case is reset to day fifteen.
Representations lodged with the council between day twenty nine and day fifty six, the case is reset to day twenty nine.
Appeals lodged with the Traffic Penalty Tribunal, the case is reset to the instructions issued with the Traffic Penalty Tribunal's adjudication.
Full details are included in the letter of rejection from the council's adjudicators.
If you decide to do nothing, then after 56 days from the issuing of the PCN, under national legislation you are responsible for the payment of the charge, even if you are innocent. The council will then continue with the debt collection procedures, which may end with the debt being past on for collection by enforcement agents.
The Magistrates Court is not involved. It is important to understand that the criminal courts are not involved with the Civil Parking Enforcement. A vehicle owner, who is issued with a PCN, must either pay the charge or win an appeal in order to bring the PCN debt to a close.
Notice to Owner (NTO)
Is a letter/form sent to the vehicle owner that states that a PCN has been issued and no payment has been received. It also explains what options are available to the owner. The owners name and address details are supplied by DVLA. The NTO cannot be produced and sent unless the PCN has remained unpaid for 28 days.
Charge Certificate (CC)
Is a letter/statement sent to the vehicle owner that states that no payment has been received and that the owners rights to an appeal have been forfeit (Statutory Instrument 2007 No. 3482 Part 2, 5(1)). Statutory Instrument 2007 No. 3483 Part 5, 21 (1) allows the council to serve a CC on the owner if the PCN remains unpaid after 28 days from any of the following:
The date of service of the NTO if no representations are made;
The date of service of a Notice of Rejection (NOR) if unsuccessful appeals are made;
The date of service of the Adjudicator's decision if an unsuccessful appeal is made to the Traffic Penalty Tribunal.
Under national legislation, once a CC is issued you are responsible for the payment of the charge even if you are innocent.
Warrant Application
If the penalty charge notice is still unpaid after 106 days from the date of issue, the council can apply to the County Court for a warrant for the outstanding monies. The court will send you the appropriate documents.
If the court grants a warrant to the council, the council will pass the warrant onto enforcement agents to serve. The enforcement agent will usually write to you giving you another 14 days to pay the charge plus costs before they serve the warrant. The letter includes details on how to make payment. At this stage you cannot pay any monies to the council, all payments have to be made via the enforcement agents.
Parking contraventions

If information about your vehicle, or any other information on the notice is incorrect, you might be able to challenge the ticket.

Please note: incorrect details on the PCN doesn't mean you will be automatically exempt from the charge. The Notice and Appeals Team will look at the appeal and make the decision.
What happens if I do not paymy Penalty Charge Notice (PCN)?
It is a requirement of the Traffic Management Act (TMA) that East Riding of Yorkshire Council follows a strict enforcement procedure for the recovery of unpaid PCNs.
If neither payment nor correspondence is received then:
the DVLA will be contacted to locate the registered owner/keeper's name and the address details
no less than 28 days after the PCN has been issued, a Notice to Owner (NTO) will be issued to the person the DVLA has advised as being the registered owner/keeper of the vehicle.
The NTO is the first stage in the legal process and provides all details of the offence, amount payable and options available to the recipient.
Only the registered owner/keeper of the vehicle may make a formal representation against the NTO, provided they satisfy one of the grounds listed on the NTO. This must be provided within 28 days of the date of the NTO. If this is not received within this time, the council is not required to consider the representation.
If the representations are accepted, a formal Notice of Acceptance will be issued advising that the NTO has been cancelled and the reasons why.
If your representations are rejected, a formal Notice of Rejection (NOR) will be issued advising you of this. The NOR will give full reasons for the rejection and will confirm the amount to be paid, which will be payable within 28 days of the date of the NOR.
All representations will be replied to promptly and the target is that a reply will be sent within 21 days of receipt. However, statutory requirements provide that East Riding of Yorkshire Council must let you know its decision in writing not later that the last day of the period of 56 days beginning with the date on which your representation was served. Failure to do so will result in the NTO being cancelled and any sums already paid being refunded.
If your representation is rejected you have the right to appeal to an independent adjudicator, the Traffic Penalty Tribunal. An appeal form will be sent with the NOR and will explain how and when to appeal to the adjudicator.
Further information about the Traffic Penalty Tribunal is on the Parking and Traffic Regulations Outside London (PATROL) website:
PATROL (external website)
An unsuccessful appellant will be given 28 days from the date of the decision to pay the full charge.
There is also information on the overall civil enforcement process at:
Should payment not be made following the NOR or no appeal received then:
No less than 28 days after the issue of the NTO/NOR/dismissal of appeal from the Traffic Penalty Tribunal, a Charge Certificate (CC) will be sent.
The CC will provide details of the offence and the amount payable. The balance will have increased by 50% of the full charge. Full payment is required within 14 days of the date the CC was issued.
The council is not obliged to consider challenges at this stage and neither can an appeal be made to the Traffic Penalty Tribunal.
Please note: If payment is not received within 14 days of the issue of the CC, the PCN will be registered with the Traffic Enforcement Centre (TEC) to recover the outstanding amount under a County Court Order, increasing the amount payable by £8.00 (court registration costs). An Order for Recovery (OR) will then be issued.
The OR details the same information as the NTO and CC, however the amount payable will have increased by a further £8.00 due to the court fee.
There are two options once this has been issued:
1. Pay in full within 21 days of the issue date of the OR.
2. Contest the issue of the Court registration, within 21 days of the issue date of the OR, by filing a witness statement with the TEC using one of the following grounds:
The NTO was not received
Formal representations against the NTO have been made to the Local Authority within 28 days of the service of the NTO but a rejection notice has not been received
An appeal has been made to the Parking/Traffic Adjudicator against the Local Authority's decision to reject the representation within 28 days of the service of the rejection notice but no response has been received
The penalty charge has been paid in full.
If the witness statement is considered to be valid, the TEC will revoke the OR. If the revocation is on the grounds (a), (b) or (c) above this does not mean that the penalty charge has been cancelled. East Riding of Yorkshire Council will continue the process and contact you.
Please note: if you do not file a valid witness statement with the TEC or make full payment within 21 days of the date of the OR, East Riding of Yorkshire Council may enforce the charge by requesting a warrant. When the warrant has been authorised by the TEC, East Riding of Yorkshire Council will employ certificated enforcement agents to execute the warrant. At this stage enforcement agents costs will be incurred.
Once a warrant has been authorised and the enforcement agents instructed, the following options are available:
Pay the full monies owed to the enforcement agents.
Provided a Witness Statement which can be filed under one of the four grounds and there was a good reason why the Witness Statement was not filed earlier (within the 21-day time limit from the date of issue of the OR), you should contact the TEC on 08457 045007 or by email at customerservice.tec@hmcourts-service.gsi.gov.uk to request an application form to file the Witness Statement 'out of time'. This should be sent to the TEC and not East Riding of Yorkshire Council. This form can also be found on the Her Majesty's Courts Service website: Her Majesty's Courts Service (external website)
Please see the PDF document below outlining the full appeals process:
Penalty charge notice (PCN) appeals notice (pdf 18kb)
Further information is available on the PATROL website:
Yes. You can challenge the serving of the PCN by one of two methods:
Before a 'notice to owner' is served on you, you can 'challenge' the serving of a penalty charge notice. Read more about 'challenges'
You can make a 'representation' against the penalty charge notice once you have been served with a 'notice to owner' from the council. Read more about 'representations'.
A 'challenge', also known as an informal appeal, is a first level appeal to the serving of the Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) by the civil enforcement officer. The motorist is not required to submit a challenge, but if he/she believes that the PCN should not have been served, then this is the best point to start the appeals process. Four points to remember when making a challenge:
You can only challenge the serving of a PCN if you have not paid the penalty
You can only make a challenge from the day that the PCN was served until you are served with a set of documents called a 'Notice to Owner'
A challenge is an affidavit which is a legal document and should be treated as such. Wilfully making a false statement on a challenge could lead to you being prosecuted for perjury
The council will only accept challenges in writing to the address on the rear of the PCN. All challenges will be considered on their individual circumstances.
Full details of how to make a challenge are on the rear of the PCN.
When will the council respond to my 'challenge'?
The council has to write to you within 14 days of receiving your challenge explaining if it has accepted or rejected your challenge and how it has come to that decision. The letter will also explain what will happen next.
I don't agree with the council's decision to reject my challenge. What can I do?
You can make a 'representation', however, this cannot be done until you receive a document called a Notice to Owner which you should receive 28 days after the date on the letter from the council rejecting your challenge.
Do not pay the charge. If you pay the charge you are accepting the penalty and you forfeit the rest of the appeals process.
Read more about 'representations' below.
Read more about 'discretion' in the document below:Discretion (pdf 60kb)
A representation, also known as a formal appeal, is a formal appeal against the serving of the Parking Charge Notice (PCN) by the civil enforcement officer. The motorist can only submit a representation on the documents within the Notice to Owner (NTO)which will be served on the motorist after a predetermined period of time. There are set grounds on which a representation can be made and these are explained within the documentation. Four points to remember when making a representation:
You can only make a representation against the serving of a PCN if you have not paid the penalty charge.
You can only make a representation from the day that an NTO was served until you are served with a set of documents called a 'Charge Certificate'.
A representation is an affidavit which is a legal document and should be treated as such. Wilfully making a false statement on a representation could lead to you been prosecuted for perjury.
The council will only accept representations in writing to the address indicated on the NTO. All representations will be considered on their individual circumstances.
When will the council respond to my 'representation'?
The council has to write to you within 21 days of receiving your representation explaining if it has accepted or rejected your representation and how it has come to that decision. The letter will also explain what will happen next.
You can make an appeal to the Traffic Penalty Tribunal, however this cannot be done until you receive a document called a Notice of Rejection from the council and you must make your appeal within 28 days of receiving this document.
The Notice of Rejection explains how to appeal to the Tribunal. It also demonstrates to the tribunal that you have followed the appeal procedure up to this point. Once the Tribunal has received your appeal it will write to you explaining the next steps in the process. Full details can be found on the Tribunals website:
Do not pay the charge. If you pay the charge you are accepting the penalty and you may forfeit the rest of the appeals process.
Please note: The tribunal service is free of charge to all motorists that have been served with a Parking Charge Notice (PCN), however any costs incurred in preparing your statement and supporting evidence for the Tribunal hearing must be borne by the motorist.
It should also be noted that the Tribunal can award costs but these are only awarded under strict circumstances.
Please visit the Tribunals website for full details:

Prison Fellowship's Statement on Joe Biden-Kamala Harris Election Victory
Prison Fellowship's Leadership Urges New Administration to Advance Policies Helping Men and Women Impacted by Crime and Incarceration Become Productive Returning Citizens
November 17, 2020 09:00 ET | Source: Prison Fellowship Prison Fellowship
Lansdowne, Virginia
Washington, D.C., Nov. 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Prison Fellowship,® the nation's largest Christian nonprofit serving prisoners, former prisoners, and their families, issued the following statement after former Vice President Joe Biden and Senator Kamala Harris were declared the winners of the 2020 Presidential election.
On Tuesday, November 3, 2020, former Vice President and Senator Joe Biden Jr. was elected President of the United States. President-elect Biden's criminal justice proposals include several Prison Fellowship priorities, such as Pell Grant restoration for incarcerated students, addressing the penalty disparity for crack and powder cocaine, and further investments in effective correctional and reentry programming.
"We look forward to working with the new Biden administration and Congress to advance policies that honor the God-given dignity of every man and woman impacted by crime and incarceration," said James Ackerman, President and CEO for Prison Fellowship. "In 2018, President Trump signed into law the First Step Act, featuring federal drug sentencing reforms and expanded in-prison programming. The historic reform would not have been possible without bipartisan sponsors and support, including Senator Kamala Harris' vote. In this season of intense polarization, we can think of no better time to take up the next steps to advance criminal justice as a place of common ground and shared purpose."
"Not only is criminal justice a bipartisan issue, it is a priority for the faith community," said Heather Rice-Minus, Senior Vice President of Advocacy and Church Mobilization for Prison Fellowship. "We urge the new administration and Congress to pass policies that reflect a restorative approach to justice, including helping currently and formerly incarcerated Americans impacted by COVID, expanding higher education behind bars, strengthening oversight of the federal prison system, and building trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve."
During his time on the United States Senate Judiciary Committee, Mr. Biden played a significant role in shaping federal justice policy through the 1986 Anti-Drug Abuse Act, Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, and the Second Chance Act of 2007. The Obama-Biden administration justice reform agenda included the Smart on Crime Initiative, Federal Interagency Taskforce Reentry Council, and Taskforce on 21st Century Policing.
The Biden campaign has highlighted multiple priorities in justice policy for their administration. In addition to those highlighted above, these include a reinvigoration of community policing, removal of collateral consequences for housing and safety net programs for individuals with a criminal record, and new federal funding to promote state and local reforms.
Working with law enforcement, civil rights, faith-based, and conservative partners, Prison Fellowship advanced progress on justice reform in the 116th Congress. The organization contributed to deepening bipartisan support for Pell Grant restoration for incarcerated students. In December 2019, Congress passed the Fair Chance Act, which allowed individuals with a criminal record to better access employment opportunities with the federal government and federal primary contractors. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Prison Fellowship's advocacy helped ensure expanded use of home confinement for federal prisoners under the CARES Act as well as the limiting of Paycheck Protection Program restrictions on entrepreneurs with a criminal record.
In 2017, building off the Obama administration's "National Reentry Week" in April, Prison Fellowship founded the movement to celebrate April as Second Chance Month. The Biden administration will have the opportunity to continue the tradition of issuing an annual White House proclamation recognizing April as Second Chance Month, helping expand awareness and opportunities for people with a criminal record seeking a fresh start.
Prison Fellowship
Prison Fellowship is the nation's largest outreach to prisoners, former prisoners, and their families, and a leading voice for criminal justice reform. With more than 40 years of experience helping restore men and women behind bars, Prison Fellowship advocates for federal and state criminal justice reforms that transform those responsible for crime, validate victims, and encourage communities to play a role in creating a safe, redemptive, and just society.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – The city that boasts the world's tallest building is now home to the world's busiest airport for international passengers too.
Dubai's airport operator released figures Tuesday showing that 70.5 million passengers streamed through the sparkling halls of the Gulf commercial hub's main airport last year. That's a 6 percent increase over the 66.4 million Dubai International handled in 2013.
The rapid growth puts Dubai squarely ahead of London Heathrow for the first time as the world's busiest international air hub. Heathrow reported handled 68.1 million international passengers in 2014.
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport remains the planet's busiest passenger airport overall.
But Dubai International is expanding fast, fueled in large part by the growth of hometown carrier Emirates. Yet another concourse is expected to open there later this year.

Little Rock, AR – Today, the Arkansas House voted to override Governor Mike Beebe's veto of the 12-week abortion ban.
This is the second time in two weeks the Arkansas Legislature has voted to support an unconstitutional abortion ban vetoed by the Governor.
"This truly is a sad day for Arkansas women. The Arkansas Legislature has once again disregarded women's health care and passed the most extreme anti-woman's health bill in the country.
"This bill puts the health and safety of Arkansas women and their families at risk. A woman may need an abortion for many different reasons, and she should be trusted to make her own personal private medical decisions. With this bill, the Arkansas Legislature will force many women to seek unsafe care.
"Arkansas lawmakers have made restricting women's access to health care their top priority this year. We are fearful this is just the beginning of many more extreme unconstitutional bills to come.
Planned Parenthood of the Heartland has served women and men of all ages since the 1930s. Today the agency offers a full range of quality reproductive health care services to residents in Arkansas, Iowa, Nebraska, and Oklahoma through 29 health centers.
