Misleading letters from HMRC and the Treasury re-emphasise tin-eared approach to IR35
Misleading letters to ContractorCalculator from HMRC and the Treasury concerning the Off-Payroll Tax have once again highlighted Government's ignorant and tin-eared approach to IR35.
In May, an open letter from ContractorCalculator laid bare many of the issues with the legislation and HMRC's Check Employment Status for Tax (CEST) tool, while debunking several false claims which Government was challenged to answer for. Disappointingly, this has only yielded dismissive responses containing familiar stock answers from HMRC and the Treasury, reinforcing the need for intervention from an independent body.
"When we published our letter, HMRC promised us 'a substantive response'," notes ContractorCalculator CEO Dave Chaplin. "Instead, the taxman and the Treasury have cobbled together the same boilerplate statements that we have previously debunked, and which brazenly ignore the serious issues raised.
"How much longer can the taxman continue to brazenly dismiss the mounting evidence demonstrating the damage and non-compliance caused by the Off-Payroll rules and CEST? Surely it's now time for an independent body to step in before a private sector extension of Off-Payroll and CEST cause untold damage to UK plc."
HMRC and HMT glaze over CEST criticisms with tired assertions
Addressed directly to Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond and HMRC Chief Executive John Thompson, ContractorCalculator's letter highlighted a number of evidence-based issues, including:
Disproportionately high rates of 'deemed employees' indicating non-compliance among several public sector hirers
False HMRC and CEST IR35 determinations being proven wrong in tribunal cases
HMRC's failure to provide proof of documented, rigorous testing of CEST
Inconsistencies between HMRC's CEST test claims and actual results when re-tested by ContractorCalculator.
Responses failed to sufficiently address any of the challenges posed, with both HMRC and the Treasury relaying numerous half-baked claims that have featured prominently in recent Government discourse.
HMRC repeated its assertion that CEST had been 'rigorously tested against known case law and settled cases', despite the admission from HMRC's second permanent secretary Jim Harra that no evidence of such testing exists. Meanwhile, the Treasury reiterated its confidence in the tool in stating: 'CEST gives an answer in 85% of cases and HMRC stands by those results.'
"As we have highlighted many times before, it's not about returning an answer – it's about returning the correct answer, which CEST continuously fails to do," comments Chaplin. "A coin toss returns an answer 100% of the time. Does the Treasury believe that would be a suitable mechanism for determining employment status?"
Taxman and evidence-backed CEST figures poles apart
Both Government bodies remain adamant that CEST isn't skewed towards returning an 'inside IR35' outcome, with HMRC claiming: 'Over the last 12 months, over 50% of its determinations have been for self-employment or outside the off-payroll rules.' As Chaplin highlights, the figure provided by HMRC is wildly inconsistent with the evidence:
"Our Freedom of Information (FOI) requests uncovered the results of 3,909 assessments carried out across five major public sector organisations, of which 94% were deemed within scope of IR35. In addition to this, recent analysis by Deloitte examined almost 850,000 permutations of possible results using CEST and it gave an 'outside IR35' determination in just 6% of cases. That's a long way off the 50-plus-percent that HMRC maintains."
If HMRC's claim is to be believed, the only realistic explanation for the discrepancy between the supposed proportion of 'outside IR35' assessments and the actual number of contractors granted said status is unlawful blanket assessments. However, the Treasury argues: 'Independent research suggests that this has not generally been the case in the public sector.'
"The 'independent research' that the Treasury refers to is the HMRC-commissioned IFF Research report. The process of data gathering for this report was concluded in September 2017, according to the invitation to tender," notes Chaplin. "This is besides the fact that there are widespread reports of unlawful blanket assessments, and in several cases substantial evidence of such conduct, which the Treasury has simply refused to acknowledge."
In addition to being dated, there are also questions about the validity of the findings of and conclusions drawn from the IFF Research report. This is after FOI requests from ContractorCalculator revealed that significant information had been omitted from the study, and that it had failed to meet tender requirements.
"Any statistician will tell you: 'absence of evidence is not evidence of absence'," Chaplin continues. "If Government isn't going to conduct any further research of its own – as HMRC has stated it has no intention to - of course it isn't going to uncover any evidence of non-compliance. Of even greater concern is the fact that it continues to dismiss the widespread evidence presented to it."
How much are HMRC and HMT to blame for blanket assessments?
A substantial amount of blame for blanket assessments should be attributed to Government. A common and misleading remark which has been made in Off-Payroll compliance seminars and was repeated in response to ContractorCalculator was: 'Where individuals are working under similar terms and working practices it is likely that they will have the same employment status.'
"This is not only hugely misleading and clearly likely to incite blanket assessments, this statement is factually incorrect," highlights Chaplin. "Two individuals could have similar working conditions, yet one could be outside of IR35 on the basis that they are in business on their own account (IBOYOA).
"Without properly assessing the individual, you will never know their correct status, so HMRC and the Treasury are encouraging non-compliance by encouraging that assumptions be made based on working practices."
Indeed, IBOYOA was one of the crucial employment status factors in determining the recent Kaye Adams IR35 tribunal case, and one of many factors which isn't considered by CEST. In addition to the tool's shortcomings, it appears that its use won't help firms to avoid the taxman's scrutiny, despite HMRC's assertions.
In writing to ContractorCalculator, HMRC reiterated: 'we will stand by the [CEST] result if it is completed correctly and in line with the guidance'. This is a claim that was disproven mere weeks ago when HMRC attempted to have evidence derived from CEST struck out of an IR35 tribunal case.
During a preliminary hearing in the case of RALC Consulting Ltd v HMRC, the taxman's legal counsel argued: "The application of CEST to the appellant's arrangements is irrelevant to the issues to be determined by the tribunal."
Chaplin concludes: "It seems that HMRC is only prepared to stand by CEST when the result favours the taxman. It has reached the point where you have to question whether anything emanating from Government concerning Off-Payroll is true. Both HMRC and the Treasury need to be officially held to account for their duplicitousness."

Watch: Atlanta Teacher Viciously Pushes Student Who Tapped His Shoulder
Stephen A. Crockett Jr.
Filed to:school violence
A South Atlanta High School teacher has been fired after video footage showed him violently showing a student across a desk.
Screenshot: WSB-TV 2
A South Atlanta High school student claimed that on Oct. 3 he touched a teacher on the shoulder and the teacher went nuts and shoved him across a desk. Well, video of the incident was obtained by a news station and it seems like the teen was telling the truth.
Footage obtained by Channel 2 Action News of the incident appears to show the 17-year-old brush past the graduation coach who leaps from his seat and shoves the teen.
The teen told the news station that he tapped teacher Henry Coleman on the shoulder and said, "What's up?"
"I just felt my body, my whole body, just fly into the table with books on it. He came to the table, slung me off the table to the ground," the teen said.
The teen and the teacher were both charged in the incident, but the school pushed to have the teen's charges dropped.
"He just went crazy. I don't understand why," the teen's mother, Shekela Bryant, said. "To choke, to push him on the ground by his face. It's just too much, too much for a good morning tap."
While the video doesn't show what happened after the push, Bryant claims the graduation coach began pummeling her son.
Coleman now faces a simple battery charge.
"Oh, no way, no way. That was not a battery," the teen's father, Jamil Koonce told the news station. "That was a brutal attack."
The teen's father added that after viewing the video, "I was very angry and very shocked."
Coleman claimed the child punched him in the arm, which is what lead to his attack. But the video didn't confirm Coleman's account of what took place.
"He told the truth. Exactly what happened is what he said happened. I told you so," attorney Kimberly Bandoh told the news station.
Now, the parents want Coleman to face stiffer punishment.
"That was aggravated assault, cruelty to children," Koonce said.
"It's crazy. I just can't get it. I don't understand why he would attack a child like that," Bryant said.
The student no longer attends South Atlanta High School and Coleman has been terminated, Channel 2 News reports.

Mi Soundbar to Go on Sale in India Today at 12PM via Mi.com, Mi Home Stores


Acquired: at a flea market in Iceland, where Sons and Lovers was the only Lawrence novel they had.
Catcher in the Rye is the quintessential ode to teenage angst, a cathartic polemic against "phoniness," and therefore easy to love when you're in high school. So I was curious to see whether it would hold up after many years of growth, maturation, and getting sick of wealthy white guys whining about their oh-so-difficult lives. But this classic novel ages gracefully, although its pleasures are distinctly different as an adult. While Holden is still an indelible character, and his complaints about the banality of human hypocrisy are often insightful, one of the book's greatest assets is its self-awareness. No one does more posturing than Holden Caulfield, and the implied author's affectionate contempt for the character can be felt on every page.
Acquired: from my boyfriend's bookshelf. He was, somehow, never required to read it in high school, and so hasn't felt motivated to read it since.
Too often a writer who commits suicide acquires a morbid type of mystique, in which all of her work and, by extension, all of her life, is read as a lead-up to the moment she decided to take her own life. (Sylvia Plath and David Foster Wallace are probably the best modern examples of this phenomenon.) But Letters Home, a collection of letters from Plath to her family members from 1950 to 1963 (from her college years up to her death), is a welcome reminder that she was a real, rounded person, who was as often filled with happiness and love as she was with despair and rage. While all of the correspondence is worth reading for diehard Plath fans, I would especially recommend the early letters while she was attending university at Smith, which are filled with the kind of dry wit and youthful optimism that is little associated with her. Letters Home is a look at the development of a great writer, as well as a demonstration of the faculty with language she displayed in every word she ever wrote, but also serves as a reminder that she's a person, not a martyr.
Acquired: in a vintage book barn in Niantic, Connecticut, where I also found a first US edition of The Plumed Serpent and a second-edition To Kill a Mockingbird. My copy of Letters Home is also a first edition.
All of the writers at Adversion had mixed-to-negative feelings about the alien invasion drama Arrival (except Nerdy Spice, who fell asleep in the second act [Nerdy Spice: I thought the first thirty minutes were quite good! Just not good enough to stay awake.]), but the Ted Chiang novella that inspired the film is far superior. Like the film, the novella portrays the oft-imagined "first contact" with sensitivity and subtlety, but the "twist" at the end is explored in much more depth, grounded in a fascinating solution to the dichotomy between free will and determinism that was lost in translation. And while Arrival was hailed as a surprisingly successful movie about language and linguistics, a written medium allowed the novella to literally display the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis on the page through formal experimentation. Story of Your Life is not only great science fiction, but transcends genre clichés to become a great piece of fiction.
Acquired: on Google, in a PDF. They can't all have great stories.
Note: I don't remember where I acquired most of these, but it's fair to assume that most of them came from two of the best indie bookstores in the world: Three Lives and McNally Jackson.
What is there to say about Hilary Mantel that has not been said? She won the Booker Prize for this original portrayal of Thomas Cromwell. She writes like no historical novelist I've ever read, a dreamy but precise prose that effortlessly dips in and out of Cromwell's perception, and brings to life even the most minor characters in Henry VIII's history. This was the first book I read this year; it took many weeks, as I got used to its difficult style, and every one of those hours of effort was worth it.
I have spilled much ink on this delightful book, which centers on Aaliyah Saleh, an irascible superannuated loner who spends each year translating one book for her own personal pleasure. She lives in Lebanon, where her choice to leave her useless husband was radical indeed. It's obviously always great to find a book about a woman who doesn't want to fall in love or relate to the world through her family, but through her mind. But Aaliyah isn't just not-like-other-female-characters; she's a funny, cranky, erudite, feminist narrator and I absolutely love her.
If James Joyce had been gay, he might have written like Jamie O'Neill, whose novel At Swim, Two Boys won a Lambda award for its portrayal of two young boys, a Socialist activist and an innocent country boy, who fall in love. Written in stream-of-consciousness from the perspective of multiple characters–not only the two boys but also a foolish striving father, a patriotic socialite, and an older man suffering deeply from the loss of his male lover–the book is a fiercely beautiful portrait of Ireland, from its oppressive Catholicism to its stirring struggle for independence and preservation of its heritage.
Usually we write about novels here, and this book is unfortunately all too true, but I read it with my heart clenched painfully, sometimes having to put it down because it was too damn sad. The thesis is essentially that the prison system, and sentencing laws, have been used to create a superficially race-neutral caste system that in fact replicates the white supremacy enforced by Jim Crow. The Supreme Court has refused to intervene to protect the most fundamental rights of people who are suspected criminals, even before there is evidence to suspect them of anything; elected officials, both Democrat and Republican (Bill Clinton is, unfortunately, one of the worst offenders) who wanted to appear "tough on crime" have sold young drug offenders down the river (I use this phrase quite consciously) for political capital; and the Republican party has consciously stoked racial resentment in order to gain support for its harsh policies. It's a lucid, rousing portrait of a racial caste system that's sat under many of our noses (myself included, I am sorry to say) without our realizing it.
My year of reading started with the historical Wolf Hall and ends with the future-dystopic The Country of Ice Cream Star, which I just finished this week. The premise of the book is a classic: children roam the United States in warring tribes that mimic and distort the cultures of their heritage, while everyone over 20 is inevitably killed by a mysterious disease called "posies." But the language marks the book as immediately different–the children have taken English and made it their own, a sort of patois, and the entire book is narrated by its main character, Ice Cream Star, in that patois. What really made the novel unique to me, though, is Ice Cream herself. She assumes the leadership of her tribe of Sengles (I still haven't figured out what that means), and, like them, she is bold, brash, and unafraid to fight and lie. She has powerful desires, both sexual and emotional, and a sharp sense of humor. But she is also naturally compassionate and–as it turns out, when she faces wrenching choices between doing what is right and attempting to save her life or her family's–highly ethical, and against murder. Leading a warring tribe is agonizing to her, but thrilling to read. She's the kind of "strong female character," with a rich inner life and a highly developed moral center, that could rescue the much-maligned term to its proper place.

Women who opt not to be mothers are frequently warned that they will regret their decision later in life, yet we rarely talk about the possibility that the opposite might also be true--that women who have children might regret it. Drawing on years of research interviewing women from a variety of socioeconomic, educational, and professional backgrounds, sociologist Orna Donath treats regret as a feminist issue: as regret marks the road not taken, we need to consider whether alternative paths for women currently are blocked off. She asks that we pay attention to what is forbidden by rules governing motherhood, time, and emotion, including the cultural assumption that motherhood is a "natural" role for women--for the sake of all women, not just those who regret becoming mothers. If we are disturbed by the idea that a woman might regret becoming a mother, Donath says, our response should not be to silence and shame these women; rather, we need to ask honest and difficult questions about how society pushes women into motherhood and why those who reconsider it are still seen as a danger to the status quo. Groundbreaking, thoughtful, and provocative, this is an especially needed book in our current political climate, as women's reproductive rights continue to be at the forefront of national debates.

"Donath breaks open what she describes as an 'unspoken taboo, ' bringing the notion that women regret becoming mothers into the public discourse with her latest research.... The most valuable elements of the book are the different perspectives provided by the interviews, which reflect a striking amount of self-awareness (and, often, suffering) from women who have otherwise largely kept silent."
--Publishers Weekly "Forthrightly feminist ... Donath's study fills a gap in discussions of women's lives and choices. While it will undoubtedly be a hard pill for many to swallow, it is also a necessary one."
--Foreword Reviews
"Donath carves out a much-needed space for these women to share, in their own words, stories about how they got to where they are, and how they manage now. Mixed in with these interviews is analysis by Donath, who expertly examines and questions the structures of a capitalistic, patriarchal society that not only contributes to women finding themselves in this position, but also prevents them from speaking about it. Many have never heard sentiments like the ones shared by Donath's interviewees--and that needs to change."
--BUST Magazine

Defensive takeaways highlight encouraging spring game for Ferris State football team
BIG RAPIDS – Despite chilly weather conditions and snow flurries at times, the Ferris State football team showed off its new takeaway-minded defense in its annual Crimson & Gold spring game on Saturday.
The white team, which was led by current special teams coordinator Jack Schugars, rolled to a 50-14 victory over the red team in the modified scoring system.
Schugars' White squad forced four turnovers and scored twice defensively while compiling nine first downs along with two scoring drives en route to the victory. The Red team, coached by volunteer assistant coach Bart Estola, also totaled nine first downs but could not find the endzone.

In a season where the Bulldogs will need to replace all-GLIAC defensive ends Brad Iskow and Jordan Morgan along with its starting linebacker trio of Tayo Moss, Mike Elias and Alex Brajak, new players stepping into roles showed plenty of rallying to the football while causing turnovers.
"The weather conditions were quite challenging, but we had a good day and it was an opportunity to get our guys out there and be successful," FSU head coach Tony Annese said. "Our defense was able to knock the ball loose and make some plays, which will be critical to our success."
Teams were split into two units and the game was played primarily under normal operating rules with additional points awarded for first downs by the offensive along with turnovers on the defensive side. A running clock was utilized for each 20-minute quarter.
The white team set the tone early by forcing a turnover on the game's opening possession and eventually reaching the endzone for the game's first score on a 6-yard TD run by tailback Kitwana Clark with 16:12 to play in the first frame. They quickly pushed their advantage to 21-3 soon after when redshirt freshman Jalen Couch returned an interception 47-yards for a score on a pick six midway through the period.
In addition to Couch's interception return, the afternoon saw a fumble recovery that defensive tackle Donovan Carter took and
rumbled 30 yards to the endzone holding the ball like a loaf of bread and defensive back Sean O'Brien return an interception 60 yards off a deflected pass downfield.
Masiewicz shines in return
FSU also saw the return of quarterback Taylor Masiewicz, who sat most of last season with a hand injury that allowed Jason VanderLaan to emerge as the team's starting quarterback and become the GLIAC Freshman of the Year.
Masiewicz showed good control of the Ferris State offense, particularly through the air, with a number of tight-spiraled passes downfield to keep the white team moving all day.
"Taylor had a good day and was poised with good command of the game," Annese said. "We're in a good place this spring. I think we've developed better depth than we had a year ago and have been able to expand some of our systems."
Annese has mentioned that all positions will need to continue to compete for starting spots, and welcomed the competition for reps between Masiewicz and VanderLaan, who are friends and committed to helping the Bulldogs win football games.
"You could tell who the seasoned quarterback was and who wasn't," Annese said. "Trevor (Bermingham) is going to be a good player, you could just tell he wasn't as poised as Taylor was. Taylor played very poised and he had great command over the game. He looked very good. Him and Jason (VanderLaan) have both been working their butts off and I think they admire one another. It's been a good battle."
VanderLaan got in a few practices this spring to grasp new concepts in the offense before having surgery to repair a sports hernia and is expected to be in a starting role, but Masiewicz's performance solidifies the position with quality depth moving forward, while the Rockford native also could help as the team's punter like he did last season.
"I feel like we did all right," Masiewicz said of the team's performance overall offensively. "Obviously we could've done better – the weather plays a little bit of a factor. But overall, I thought we did well."
Masiewicz said he'll also work hard to continue to push both himself and VanderLaan to be better quarterbacks heading into the fall.
"My first thought was just trying to get back into the groove," he said. "I'm just going to work hard to try and get into that top spot."
The red team trimmed the margin to 38-12 by notching its first defensive pick in the final quarter, but the white team's defensive unit came up with a stop and the offense put together one of the game's longest drives with five first downs before Masiewicz hooked up with wideout Aubrey Parrish on an 18-yard touchdown pass near the end of the game.
On a day that saw main ball carrier Korey Ringer with limited carries to maintain his health while fellow backfield mate Jamaal Jackson sat the game out, Clark used the opportunity to shine as the feature running back.
"We tried to stay away from Korey Ringer running to much," Annese said. "I thought he looked good when he did carry it, but I went out there early and said don't let him carry it too much. Kitwana is third on the depth chart right now and Jamaal Jackson didn't participate (Saturday) and he would be our other guy rotating with Korey. (Clark) did a nice job though, and he's a talented player."
A successful spring
Overall, the afternoon gave Annese confirmation that depth in addition to talent is starting to arrive on the roster following the spring game that saw the Bulldogs put an end to a miserable couple of weeks of practice in which FSU had to battled the elements consistently.
"We survived it," he said. "They were challenging conditions, but it was fun. We split the teams up as evenly as we could. We tried to get everyone in and have a chance to be successful.
"I think we're in a good place," he added. "We've built a better system of depth, not just the guys who are going to start, but our top 40-50 players are a lot better. If you would analyze our 50th guy and look at it that way, our 50th guy is better this year (than last year)."
Annese said he feels this year's team also is more conscious of creating turnovers on the defensive side of the ball and coming together with a better and more thorough understanding of the offensive schemes.
"System-wise we've expanded some of the things we're doing and that's important," he said. "Defensively, we're more cognizant of where we need to be and we're making plays, getting takeaways and things like that."
Returning offensive lineman Zach Wiersma, who started at guard for the Bulldogs last season, said the team has a much better grasp of the offense after having a year to digest it with the new coaching staff.
"As we kept going during the season we became more comfortable with them," he said. "Coming into spring ball we knew the offense, so we didn't have to install as many things, we just had to tweak some things. We're starting with schemes this year and we're not playing catch-up, which is huge heading into the fall."
During the festivities, Ferris State also honored two "Bulldogs" as longtime Gridiron Club President and alum Bill Scheible along with national champion runner Anna Rudd of the FSU women's track and field squad served as the game's honorary captains during the coin toss.

The All Progressives Congress has said that the proactive steps taken by security agents in the March 9th Governorship and House of Assembly election to checkmate a repeat of the 2015 killings and destructions in Rivers state is commendable and should be applauded by all peace-loving people.
The party said it has no fears over the planned supplementary elections in some states as scheduled by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) while also condemning the decision to suspend proposed supplementary election in Bauchi state.
After the March 9th governorship elections across the country, the polls in six states – Adamawa, Bauchi, Benue, Kano, Plateau and Sokoto – were declared inconclusive by INEC while electoral process was also suspended in Rivers state.
APC said it is very confident of victory in the forthcoming supplementary elections and that its commitment to free and fair elections in the county remains resolute.
It also urged INEC to ensure that all loopholes that led to rigging, vote buying and intimidation of voters is blocked.
APC's National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu in a statement on Sunday noted that INEC declared the governorship election in Benue State inconclusive, citing an insufficient margin in votes obtained by the APC candidate Barr. Emmanuel Jime and the PDP candidate, Governor Samuel Ortom.
"Even though the PDP claims a bogus lead of over 81,000 votes, reports strongly establish that this dodgy figure is an aggregate of 'votes' obtained by subterfuge not from the numbers recorded by the card reader.
"There were cases in Logo, Gwer-West, Vandeikya, Guma, Buruku and Gboko Local governments where the card reader was not used.
"In Guma, a local government predominated by the APC, zero votes were allocated to our candidate by thugs loyal to the governor of the State, as agents of the party were chased away and election material diverted and ballot papers thumb-printed for the governorship candidate of the PDP.
The party noted that there is no doubt that its candidate obtained the highest number of legitimate votes obtained with the usage of the card reader.
In Rivers state, Issa-Onilu said the party was concerned and deeply troubled by the unfolding events in the state while also strongly condemning the crisis that erupted in the state.
According to the party's spokesperson, "This unholy alliance between Governor Nyesom Wike, PDP and INEC is to prevent Rivers people from electing a candidate of their choice by imposing Wike, the PDP candidate on them. It was glaring that Wike was losing until INEC stepped in to halt the process apparently to save Wike from impending defeat. INEC must put a halt to this madness and brazen illegality.
"With regard to the governorship election in Rivers State, APC has observed with dismay the macabre dance between Wike and INEC in Rivers State. It is on record that Wike through the Rivers State Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Obo Effanga engaged PDP card-carrying members as Local Government Area (LGA) Collation Officers to skew the elections in favour of Wike and the PDP.
He said the party believes that the proactive steps taken by security agents to checkmate a repeat of the 2015 killings and destructions in the state is commendable and should be applauded by all peace-loving people.
In Kano state, APC noted how the Kano State Police Commissioner allegedly assisted the opposition PDP to rig inside Kano city with the deployment of police security for Rabiu Kwankwaso loyalists while state commissioner's orderlies were withdrawn.
He said, "Kano remains an APC state. With the massive votes garnered by our presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari; the entire incoming 9th National Assembly positions – 3 Senators and 24 House of Representatives – won by the APC in Kano State; 27 State House of Assembly seats won by the APC out of 39 and governorship election victories in all local governments outside Kano metropolitan, there is no doubt that Kano State is a stronghold and key support base of the APC.
The party however, rejects INEC's decision on the governorship election results from Tafawa Balewa local government area in Bauchi State, as signed and announced by the electoral body's National Commissioner and chairman of its Information and Voter Education Committee, Festus Okoye.
"While the close relationship between Festus Okoye who chaired the fact-finding committee and Yakubu Dogara of the PDP is well known, hence inappropriate for the fact-finding exercise for Bauchi state, INEC has failed to adhere to the fundamental principle of fair-hearing by not inviting our agents during the hearing to ascertain the circumstances leading to the cancellation of the Tafawa Balewa local government election result.
Issa-Onilu said it is on record how the PDP candidate and state governor, Aminu Tambuwal used thugs and fake security agents to scare voters in the state and that gave PDP agents a free and field day to rig and manipulate the governorship election.
He said, "We are also aware how the huge monies were used to buy votes and how complicit INEC officials disenfranchised APC members by purporting that card readers machines stopped working in APC strongholds..
"The forthcoming supplementary election in Sokoto state gives the APC; our governorship candidate, Aliyu Ahmed and indeed the Sokoto electorate and an opportunity claim our mandate.
In Adamawa, the party said it had reported over-voting and use of security personnel to intimidate APC agents and supporters.
"While we are confident of our party and candidate Governor Jibrilla Bindow's victory ahead of the supplementary election in the state, we urge all stakeholders to avoid actions that can plunge the state into crisis.


Описание: порт Quake для PS Vita. Quake - это компьютерная игра в жанре шутера от первого лица, разработанная id Software и выпущенная 22 июля 1996 года. Игра совершила прорыв в 3D технологиях, используя текстурированные полигональные модели вместо спрайтов, тем самым реализуя полностью трёхмерный мир, вместо двумерной карты с информацией о высоте (как было в Doom).
Today i want to release my Quake port for Rejuvenate! It's based on winQuake ( https://github.com/id-Software/Quake) and it supports both Shareware and Full version of Quake.The packet you can download here contains the free shareware version. If you want to use your full installation of Quake you just have to add pak1.pak file to id1 folder .
This update to Vita Quake brings multiplayer support, both local and online. More than that, Vita Quake is able to connect to any native Quake or ProQuake server, of which there are multiple ones online.
– Added a benchmark option in the menu.
– Fixed a crash caused by being out of bounds.
– Fixed the IP:Port resolving problem.
– Added a serverlist option in Join Game screen with a couple of multiplayer servers available.
– Added a new official multiplayer server with deatmatch-only maps (Requires Full Game).
– Merged the mod selection menu in the main app. (Hold R-Trigger once the screen is black to load it.). Any folder with pak files or a progs.dat is enough to be detected.
– Increased the maximum text displayed on a single console line.
– Fixed cshifts not correctly refreshed after dying on lava/slime/water.
– Fixed a crash whenever you execute too many config files in a short time.
– The console/text inputs are now using the IME keyboard, not danzeff anymore.
– The front touchscreen can now be toggled between a camera or a button.
– Added psvita_front_sensitivity_x , psvita_front_sensitivity_y , psvita_back_sensitivity_x , psvita_back_sensitivity_y CVARs for better controls.
– Added new keys for menu: TRIANGLE to go back to the previous menu.
– Fixed lots of Key problems related to other navigations.
– Added L & R shoulders can be used to track back the console messages.
– Adapted the ProQuake 3.40 protocol to join / create servers.
– Fixed an unknown bug related to loading a solo game after playing deathmatch.
– Added a "Previous Weapon" binding (bound to CIRCLE by default).
– Reworked a bit the controls menu.
– VitaQuake's version (and GIT revision) is now displayed on startup, aswell as on the console.
– Lots of performance boosts.
– A few mods that have custom models (such as X-Men Ravages of Apocalypse or Zerstörer) crashes when starting a map.
– Rescaler now works as intended. Before it didn't really change the in-game resolution.
– Now rescaler won't cause random crashes anymore.
– Now closing the homebrew from the Exit voice won't cause a crash anymore.
– Adjusted standard camera sensibility.
– Fixed camera sensibility option in Options menu to make it more flexible.
– Adjusted Options menu renaming some voices and removing others that didn't do anything on the Vita port.
Reduced VPK size by removing vita2d dependency.
Added animations interpolation: now animations are a lot more smoother (60fps vs the old 10fps animations).
Fixed underwater visual bug. Now lightmaps are disabled when underwater.
Moved mod manager in-game. Now can be accessed from Options menu.
Removed brown lines at left and right of statusbar, now statusbar will take way less screen space.
Fixed dynamic lights, now they work as intended.
Fixed a bug causing homebrew to crash on startup if official missionpacks where shipped in data files.

Propagation Channel Models
Early-Late Gate Timing Recovery
(Removed) Recover symbol timing phase using early-late gate method
Early-Late Gate Timing Recovery has been removed. Use the Symbol Synchronizer block instead.
Timing Phase Recovery sublibrary of Synchronization
The Early-Late Gate Timing Recovery block recovers the symbol timing phase of the input signal using the early-late gate method. This block implements a non-data-aided feedback method.
By default, the block has one input port. Typically, the input signal is the output of a receive filter that is matched to the transmitting pulse shape.
This block accepts a scalar-valued or column vector input signal. The input uses N samples to represent each symbol, where N > 1 is the Samples per symbol parameter.
For a column vector input signal, the block operates in single-rate processing mode. In this mode, the output signal inherits its sample rate from the input signal. The input length must be a multiple of N.
For a scalar input signal, the block operates in multirate processing mode. In this mode, the input and output signals have different sample rates. The output sample rate equals N multiplied by the input sample rate.
This block accepts input signals of type Double or Single
If you set the Reset parameter to On nonzero input via port, then the block has a second input port, labeled Rst. The Rst input determines when the timing estimation process restarts, and must be a scalar.
If the input signal is a scalar value, the sample time of the Rst input equals the symbol period
If the input signal is a column vector, the sample time of the Rst input equals the input port sample time
This block accepts reset signals of type Double or Boolean
The block has two output ports, labeled Sym and Ph:
The Sym output is the result of applying the estimated phase correction to the input signal. This output is the signal value for each symbol, which can be used for decision purposes. The values in the Sym output occur at the symbol rate:
For a column vector input signal of length N*R, the Sym output is a column vector of length R having the same sample rate as the input signal.
For a scalar input signal, the sample rate of the Sym output equals N multiplied by the input sample rate.
The Ph output gives the phase estimate for each symbol in the input.
The Ph output contains nonnegative real numbers less than N. Noninteger values for the phase estimate correspond to interpolated values that lie between two values of the input signal. The sample time of the Ph output is the same as that of the Sym output.
If the Ph output is very close to either zero or Samples per symbol, or if the actual timing phase offset in your input signal is very close to zero, then the block's accuracy might be compromised by small amounts of noise or jitter. The block works well when the timing phase offset is significant rather than very close to zero.
The output signal inherits its data type from the input signal.
When the input signal is a vector, this block incurs a delay of two symbols. When the input signal is a scalar, this block incurs a delay of three symbols.
Samples per symbol
The number of samples, N, that represent each symbol in the input signal. This must be greater than 1.
Error update gain
A positive real number representing the step size that the block uses for updating successive phase estimates. Typically, this number is less than 1/N, which corresponds to a slowly varying phase.
This parameter is tunable in normal mode, Accelerator mode and Rapid Accelerator mode. If you use the Simulink® Coder™ rapid simulation (RSIM) target to build an RSIM executable, then you can tune the parameter without recompiling the model. For more information, see Tunable Parameters (Simulink) in the Simulink User's Guide.
Determines whether and under what circumstances the block restarts the phase estimation process. Choices are None, Every frame, and On nonzero input via port. The last option causes the block to have a second input port, labeled Rst.
This block uses a timing error detector whose result for the kth symbol is e(k), given by
e(k)=aI(k)+aQ(k)aI(k)=yI(kT+dk){yI(kT+T/2+dk)−yI(kT−T/2+dk−1)}aQ(k)=yQ(kT+dk){yQ(kT+T/2+dk)−yQ(kT−T/2+dk−1)}
yI and yQ are the in-phase and quadrature components, respectively, of the block's input signal
T is the symbol period
dk is the phase estimate for the kth symbol

Q: Настройка конфигурации моделей Entity Framework Есть таблицы: Products, Tags и связывающая их ProductTags
Модели:
public class Product
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public ICollection<Tag> Tags { get; set; }
}

public class Tag
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public ICollection<Product> Products { get; set; }
}

Конфигурация:
public class TagConfiguration : EntityTypeConfiguration<Tag>
{
    public TagConfiguration()
    {
        HasMany(tag => tag.Products)
            .WithMany(product => product.Tags)
            .Map(x =>
            {
                x.ToTable("ProductTags");
                x.MapLeftKey("TagId");
                x.MapRightKey("ProductId");
            });
    }
}

Нужно добавить модель связывающей таблицы, сохранив при этом текущие навигационные свойства Tags { get; set; } и Products { get; set; }.
Добавляю модель и ее конфигурацию:
public class ProductTags
{
    public int ProductId { get; set; }
    public Product Product { get; set; }
    public int TagId { get; set; }
    public Tag Tag { get; set; }
}

public class ProductTagsConfiguration : EntityTypeConfiguration<ProductTags>
{
    public ProductTagsConfiguration()
    {
        HasKey(p => new { p.ProductId, p.TagId });
        ToTable("ProductTags");
    }
}

После добавления начинает ругаться из за одинаковых конфигураций:

One or more validation errors were detected during model generation:
TagProduct: Name: The EntitySet 'TagProduct' with schema 'dbo' and
  table 'ProductTags' was already defined. Each EntitySet must refer to
  a unique schema and table.

Если удалить TagConfiguration, нельзя будет обращаться к навигационным свойствам. Замена текущих свойств на public ICollection<ProductTags> ProductTags { get; set; } не подходит.
Возможно ли сделать конфигурацию так, чтобы можно было работать и с промежуточной моделью ProductTags, и через текущие навигационные свойства?

Для чего нужно такое решение:
Код пишется для десктопного приложения к существующей базе. Требуется выполнять фильтрацию по тегам для выбранных продуктов. Если делать без связывающей модели, придется использовать ctx.Products.Where(...).Include(p => p.Tags).ToList() при получении продуктов. А т.к. продуктов может быть несколько тысяч, это будет выполняться медленно. Если же ввести модель связывающей таблицы, можно будет получить список связей один раз, а затем выполнять фильтрацию уже в памяти.
Получаем все теги и связи при загрузке программы:
public readonly Dictionary<int, List<Tag>> ProductsAndTags = new Dictionary<int, List<Tag>>();

public void LoadProductsAndTags()
{
    using (var context = new DbContext())
    {
        var productsAndTags = context.ProductTags.AsNoTracking()
            .Include(x => x.Tag)
            .ToList();

        foreach (var item in productsAndTags)
        {
            if (!ProductsAndTags.ContainsKey(item.ProductId))
                ProductsAndTags.Add(item.ProductId, new List<Tag>());
            ProductsAndTags[item.ProductId].Add(item.Tag);
        }
    }
}

Теперь можно получать все теги для каждого продукта очень быстро:
if (Db.Tags.ProductsAndTags.ContainsKey(product.Id))
    product.Tags = Db.Tags.ProductsAndTags[product.Id];

Почему нужно оставить существующие навигационные свойства?
Сейчас они используются в разных частях программы. Если от них отказаться, придется вносить много изменений.
Программа дальше развиваться не будет, за исключением багфиксов, однако требуется решить вопрос фильтрации по тегам. И чтобы не тратить на это много времени, было решено сделать такое решение в лоб. Понимаю, что выглядит не правильно, но лучшего варианта, к сожалению, мне пока не видится.

Q: Logs not getting created for jars placed inside shared library in WAS I have 3 EARs sharing a Shared Library at EAR level in WAS.
Each EAR contains a single WAR.
I have placed log4j-1.2.15.jar inside each war's WEB-INF/lib and also inside Shared Library.
Now the logs of individual wars are getting created but the logs for code inside the jars placed at Shared Library at EAR level, are not getting created.
I have placed log4j.xml inside each war and at shared library as Well.
If any one can suggest me what could be the root cause for this and how can I achieve the logging for jars placed inside Shared library.
I have also tried placing log4j-1.2.15.jar at EAR level only in that case the war that starts last, initialize the log4j and all logs starts getting created inside that application only. However in this case logs for Shared library also get created.
Thanks

As previously announced, the 28th Annual Stellar Gospel Music Awards Show is hosted this year by gospel legends Kirk Franklin and Mary Mary and will once again air in national broadcast syndication in over 200 television markets from Jan. 19– March 3, 2013. Notably, for the first time in the history of the Stellar Awards, the show will air live in primetime on GMC TV from Nashville's Grand Ole Opry House on Saturday, January 19, 2013 at 7 p.m. EST.
A highlight of the evening is the acknowledgement of special honorees, which this year includes honoring Gospel icon Inez Andrews, who will be posthumously awarded the Ambassador Dr. Bobby Jones Legends Award for her long and successful career over five decades as a recording artist and one of Gospel's foremost songwriters. As a member of the group The Caravans, Andrews recorded the classic "Mary Don't You Weep," which earned the group a certified Gold record. In a fitting sendoff to Andrews, there will be a special reunion of The Caravans that will feature Caesar, Norwood and Washington as part of the tribute.
"Ms. Andrews has paved the way for female artists and has had a major impact on the Gospel Music Industry all the way up to her untimely passing in December of 2012," said Stellar Awards executive producer and Central City Productions CEO Don Jackson, who credits Ms. Andrews' participation in the Stellar Awards as one of most significant reasons for the success of the show today. "Inez Andrews loved the Stellar Awards and performed with the Caravans many times during the early years of the show."
Other special honorees this year include Bishop T.D. Jakes, who will receive the Thomas Dorsey Notable Achievement Award for his many noteworthy accomplishments in 2012, including the production of highly anticipated film remake of Sparkle; the release of his latest book "Let It Go"; the independent release of NAACP Image Award nominated film "Woman Thou Art Loosed: On the 7th Day"; and his conference series including MegaFest and Woman Thou Art Loosed, which drew tens of thousands of attendees. Kurt Carr will be honored with the James Cleveland Lifetime Achievement Award for his contributions to the Gospel music industry and genre over the course of a 22-year career, including his background as music director and pianist for the late Rev. Cleveland himself.
Prior to the Stellar Awards broadcast, The Stellar Gospel Music Awards Pre-Show will be held on Friday, January 18, 2013 at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center to announce winners of the non-televised awards categories. Tickets for this event are $10.00 for Sagma members and $12.50 for non-Sagma members, and can be purchased at tpac.org. The event will be hosted by Lexi and VaShawn Mitchell, with performances by Dorinda Clark Cole, William Murphy and Jessica Reedy to name a few. Additionally, The Stellar Awards Gospel Radio Award & Showcase brunch will be held the morning of January 19 to honor the top radio stations serving urban Gospel music audiences.
Announced in October, this year's Stellar Awards nominees include newcomer Pastor Charles Jenkins and the Fellowship Choir, who in addition to earning a "Best New Artist" nomination for their debut CD "The Best of Both Worlds," garnered recognition in seven additional categories including "Artist of the Year" and "Song of the Year." Hosts Mary Mary received nine nominations, including "Group/Duo of the Year," "Song of the Year," "Contemporary Group/Duo of the Year," "Contemporary CD of the Year," "Urban Inspirational Single or Performance," "Special Event CD of the Year," "Producer of the Year," "Music Video of the Year" and "Recorded Music Packaging of the Year." Other multiple nominees include superstars Marvin Sapp and Fred Hammond with six nominations each, both nominated in the hotly-contested "Male Vocalist of the Year" and "CD of the Year" categories; legendary Andrae Crouch earned five nominations, including "Artist of the Year" and "Song of the Year" for his disc "The Journey"; and "Best New Artist" contender Isaac Carree received five nods for his solo debut "Uncommon Me."
The live show at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville, TN is open to the public and tickets are on sale through Ticketmaster (http://www.ticketmaster.com) for all public events. Ticket prices range from $55 – $200. In addition, balcony seats are available for students for $35. For additional details, visit the Stellar Awards website (www.thestellarawards.com).
