What does a career in IT Support mean?
A career in IT support means that you'll work with a variety of people to make sure that information systems work to their full capacity. Any day's work may mean you have to provide technical support, set up a computer and IT services, maintain social media pages, create and maintain IT infrastructure, solve common IT problems and work with a number of programs like Microsoft to provide a support service to employees who aren't familiar with the systems. You may work at a service desk or all over the workplace, depending on what the business needs.
IT Is such a huge part of every company now, from healthcare to corporate business, and every one of them needs an IT support staff. This means that no matter where you want to work, from London to Melbourne, people are looking for IT support service employees.
With mobile phones, laptops and other personal devices being linked into professional workplaces and IT issues increasingly stopping a workplace from functioning, most companies are either employing an IT Support company or hiring an IT team with an IT manager overseeing them to ensure that a support service is always available. If you'd prefer to work directly with customers rather than with firm employees, there are also a number of customer service IT based jobs where you help everyday people with support solutions for their IT problems, like working Microsoft office or other software support.
Since IT support jobs are so common and so crucial to customer satisfaction and IT systems maintenance in big businesses, the technical expertise of a support specialist may be needed at any time. This means that many professional services offer 24/7 support, making IT support service an extremely flexible area to work in.
You can work full time, part time or casually, from an IT service desk in a company or from a private desk in an office. It's the perfect job for a long-term career, too, with support solutions only becoming more necessary as more companies employ IT partners and specific IT strategies. With the rise in demand for 24-hour support and the likelihood of increasing jobs in the field, it's an area of work that suits anyone!
The best way to start in IT support is to complete a formal qualification. Whether it's a support technician course, or a more complete diploma, or even a university degree, there are a huge number of ways that you can get started. Courses will teach you about common problems in the support solution field, including working with WIFI, give you case studies to practice on for real-life solutions, and will provide you with the necessary IT training to get you going in your new job!

In our weekly conversation with Frank Newport, editor in chief of The Gallup Poll, the topic is the presidential debates. To what extent can debates change the course of a race?
Both candidates took great pains to stress the extent that their vision would best help the middle class. Do Americans think that Obama or Romney would do a better job for the middle class if elected?
Some conservative critics opine that the polls have been flawed because there are "too many Democrats" or that they "oversample" Democrats. Newport calls this bogus talk.
Job creation is a major focus of both candidates. Newport says U.S. nongovernment workers reported worse job creation conditions in September than they have in any month since February. At the same time, the job creation climate within state and local government became even more positive. What does this mean?
The numbers also tell us that the average American has much more confidence in him- or herself than in the legislative branch of government. Newport says this suggests people don't think the legislative branch is doing a very good job representing their interests — and that leaders should pay attention to polls.

H.R. 1005, H.R. 1162, H.R. 1545, H.R. 1662,
And Draft Legislation"
Chairman Wenstrup, Ranking Member Brownley and members of the Subcommittee, on behalf of the men and women of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States (VFW) and its Auxiliary, I want to thank you for the opportunity to present the VFW's views on today's pending legislation.
H.R. 91, Building Supportive Networks for Women Veterans Act
The VFW strongly supports this legislation, which would make permanent VA's counseling in retreat setting program for women veterans. VA's retreat counseling program has served as an invaluable tool to help newly discharged women veterans seamlessly transition back into civilian life. The VFW supported the original program established by the Caregivers and Veterans Omnibus Health Services Act of 2010 and subsequent year-long extensions. The VFW believes it is time to make this important program permanent.
H.R. 95, Veterans' Access to Child Care Act
This legislation would extend and expand the VA child care pilot program, which helps veterans attend their health care appointments and complete their treatment plans by providing necessary child care services. The VFW supports this legislation and has a recommendation to improve it which we urge this subcommittee to consider.
Veterans with dependent children face diverse barriers when obtaining their earned care and benefits. A barrier specific to parents is finding child care so they can attend medical appointments. Currently, VA has three pilot programs which offer child care services to enable veterans to attend medical appointments. Veterans who have used this program tell the VFW they would not have completed their treatment plans if it were not for the VA child care program.
The lack of child care is particularly difficult for homeless veterans who may forgo needed inpatient treatments for fear of losing custody of their children. The VFW firmly believes child care service would also improve access to employment training and counseling services that homeless veterans need to obtain meaningful employment that will allow them keep their homes and stay off the streets. That is why the VFW urges this subcommittee to expand eligibility for this important program by giving homeless veterans the opportunity to receive child care services while they attend employment training programs.
H.R. 467, VA Scheduling Accountability Act
The VFW believes all VA medical facilities must comply with scheduling laws and directives. However, the VFW cannot support this legislation because it would not resolve the underlying issue with scheduling at VA medical facilities.
Before requiring compliance, Congress and VA must first improve VA's wait time metric and scheduling directives. In the VFW's most recent VA health care report, only 67 percent of veterans indicated they obtained a VA appointment within 30 days, which is significantly less than the 93 percent of appointments VA reported were scheduled within 30 days during the same timeframe. This is because the way VA measures wait times is not aligned with the realities of scheduling a health care appointment.
VA also uses a wait time metric called the "preferred date" to measure whether a veteran is given an appointment within 30 days from the date a veteran would like to be seen or is told it is clinically necessary, which fails to account for the full length of time a veteran waits for care. The VFW is also concerned that VA's preferred date metric remains susceptive to data manipulation. For example, when veterans call to schedule appointments, they are asked when they prefer to be seen. The first question a veteran logically asks is, "When is the next available appointment?" Schedulers have the ability to input the medical facility's next available appointment as the veteran's preferred date –– essentially zeroing out the wait time. VA must correct its wait time metric to more accurately reflect how long veterans wait for their care.
VA has established an arbitrary wait time goal of scheduling appointments within 30 days of a veteran's preferred date. This not only ignores whether a veteran should be seen earlier, but it is not aligned with how the health care industry measures wait times. In a recent report, the RAND Corporation found the best practices in the private sector for measuring timeliness of appointments are generally based on the clinical need of the health care requested and in consultation with the patient requesting the care. That is why the VFW has urged VA and Congress to move away from using arbitrary standards to measure whether an appointment was delivered in a timely manner, and adopt industry best practices by basing the timeliness of appointment scheduling on a clinical decision made by health care providers and their patients.
The VFW does not believe this legislation can be successful if VA's wait time metric remains flawed and susceptible to data manipulation. Compliance with flawed metrics does not lead to better health care outcomes for veterans.
The VFW also has serious concerns with the requirement to withhold bonuses from VA medical center directors who fail to comply with scheduling standards. Section 205 of Public Law 113-146, the "Veterans Access, Choice, and Accountability Act of 2014" prohibited the use of scheduling and wait time metrics in determination of performance awards. Congress did so because the VA Office of the Inspector General and congressional oversight found VA employees were manipulating scheduling and wait time data to receive bonuses or appease management. The VFW fears this legislation would reinstate a culture of cover ups to receive awards.
Instead of linking bonuses to compliance with scheduling requirements, which will not result in veterans receiving more timely care, Congress must focus on evaluating and addressing the underlying reasons for high wait times. The VFW has highlighted many of these issues in the past. VA's medical support assistance (MSA) positions, who handle scheduling for the veterans, face the highest rate of turnover in the VA health care system. Due to the cumbersome hiring process and the low compensation levels for MSAs, it takes an average of six months to fill an MSA vacancy. The VFW urges Congress to expand VA's direct hire authority for this critical position.
VA's scheduling system is also archaic and hard to use. VA is in the process of implementing a modification to its scheduling system and is pursuing a commercial off the shelf (COTS) scheduling system. The VFW supports a COTS solution to VA's scheduling system and urges Congress to make certain VA has the resources needed to finally update its outdated scheduling system with a state-of-the-art COTS system.
H.R. 907, Newborn Care Improvement Act
The VFW supports this legislation, which would expand VA's authority to provide health care to a newborn child, whose delivery is furnished by VA, from seven to 42 days post-birth.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, newborn screenings are vital to diagnosing and preventing certain health conditions that can affect a child's livelihood and long-term health. The VFW understands the importance of high quality newborn health care and its long term impact on the lives of veterans and their families. Congress must ensure newborn children receive the proper post-natal health care they need.
H.R. 918, Veteran Urgent Access to Mental Health Care Act
This legislation would ensure veterans with other than honorable discharges, also known as "bad paper" discharges, have the opportunity to receive urgent mental health care from VA. The VFW supports the intent of this legislation, but believes it should be expanded before it is passed.
Under current law, eligibility for VA health care and benefits is based on many different factors. Most benefits, including VA health care and disability compensation, require veterans to have obtained a discharge that is other than dishonorable to be eligible. This means veterans who receive bad paper discharges and meet other eligibility requirements are eligible for VA health care and most benefits. However, VA has implemented a stringent interpretation of current law. In a recent report entitled Underserved: How the VA Wrongfully Excludes Veterans with Bad Paper, Swords to Plowshares found VA's process for determining health care and benefits eligibility is not consistent with the law, and results in 90 percent of veterans with bad paper discharges being denied eligibility to much needed health care and benefits.
When veterans go to a VA medical center for non-emergent care as a new patient, they are required to undergo an eligibility determination before they can receive care. Veterans who have an honorable discharge and meet other criteria –– such as having service-connected disabilities, combat service, low income, or certain earned service medals –– are allowed to receive care immediately or schedule an appointment. When veterans with bad paper discharges present to a VA medical facility for the first time, they are told they must undergo a VA character of discharge determination before they can receive care, which takes an average of 1,200 days according to Swords to Plowshares' report.
It is also important to clarify that the term "dishonorable" has different legal definitions for the Department of Defense (DOD) and VA. Whereas DOD only issues dishonorable discharges to service members who have been convicted of major offenses in a general court martial, title 38, United States Code (U.S.C.) specifies that veterans can be characterized as "dishonorable" when they are discharged for specific offenses, conscientious objector status, desertion, or for being AWOL for more than 180 days, regardless of whether or not such veterans received a dishonorable discharge from DOD. For that reason, VA created a character of discharge evaluation process to evaluate whether a veteran received a discharge that is considered dishonorable under title 38 U.S.C., but not by DOD standards. The VFW believes that this review process has been misapplied to all bad paper discharges absent the specific disqualifying criteria, which has resulted in VA depriving certain veterans with bad paper discharges of benefits they not only earned, but in many cases need.
Veterans who served honorably in combat, but were administratively discharged upon returning home due to relatively small infractions, like missing formations or self-medicating undiagnosed conditions, should not have to wait years before they can receive VA health care and benefits. Currently, veterans with bad paper discharges are three times more likely to die by suicide. Without access to VA health care, those suffering from service-related mental health injuries are left on their own to deal with their mental health symptoms, making recovery nearly impossible.
The VFW is pleased that Secretary of Veterans Affairs David J. Shulkin has announced he will expand access to urgent mental health care to veterans who have received bad paper discharges. However, the VFW firmly believes VA does not and should not provide sporadic care. VA provides veterans a full continuum of high quality care that has been found to outperform the private sector and leads to a lower likelihood of attempts or death by suicide. That is why the VFW has urged VA to expand its proposed regulations to ensure veterans with bad paper discharges receive full eligibility to VA health care, rather than simply receiving access to sporadic urgent mental health care.
If VA fails to act, the VFW urges Congress to amend relevant sections of title 38, U.S.C., to make clear these veterans are eligible for full VA health care, not just urgent mental health care. The VFW recognizes that doing so would significantly increase VA's patient load and could exacerbate access issues. That is why the VFW urges Congress to make certain VA receives the resources it needs to care for these vulnerable veterans.
H.R. 1005, to improve the provision of adult day health care services for veterans
The VFW supports this legislation, which would expand adult day health care benefits for veterans who are eligible for long-term inpatient care.
Currently, veterans who are at least 70 percent service-connected are eligible to receive cost free nursing home or domiciliary care at any of the more than 120 state veterans' homes throughout the country. While nursing home care is a necessity for veterans who can no longer live in the comfort of their home, the VFW strongly believes veterans should remain in their homes as long as possible before turning to inpatient and long-term care options. This legislation would ensure veterans have the opportunity to receive adult day care so they can remain in their homes as long as possible.
H.R. 1162, No Hero Left Untreated Act
The VFW opposes this legislation, which would require VA to carry out a pilot program to provide veterans Magnetic eResonance Therapy (MeRT) to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other mental health conditions.
The VFW supports expanding access to integrated and complementary therapies that have proven to effectively treat veterans who have not responded to conventional or evidence-based mental health care. However, MeRT is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and has shown little to no evidence of effectiveness in treating PTSD. VA already offers similar treatments that have been proven to work, cost less, and are FDA approved.
Additionally, this legislation would not provide VA additional funding to test the efficacy of MeRT. The VFW believes that VA must spend its already scarce health care resources on therapies which have shown promise or have a proven track record.
H.R. 1545, VA Prescription Data Accountability Act 2017
The VFW supports this legislation, which would expand VA's requirement to report prescription data to state prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMP).
Current law requires VA to report certain data on prescription of opioids and other narcotics to state PDMPs. The requirement is for VA to share the data of veterans and dependents. However, VA systems cannot differentiate between dependents and other non-veterans who have received care through the VA health care system. While the vast majority of non-veterans receive VA care through the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the VA (CHAMPVA) outside of VA medical facilities, VA does provide care to some non-veterans in its medical facilities, particularly in the emergency room. The VFW supports the sharing of prescription data with state agencies and agrees VA should share data for non-veterans as well.
H.R. 1662, to prohibit smoking in any facility of the Veterans Health Administration
The VFW does not have a position on this legislation that would prohibit smoking in and around VA medical facilities. We do have some points to consider, however.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, smoking is the leading cause of preventive death in the United States. The VFW is aware of the health hazards associated with smoking and understands that the overwhelming majority of America's health care systems and facilities have moved to smoke-free campuses. On the other hand, VA is required by Public Law 102-585, the "Veterans Health Care Act of 1992," to establish and maintain "a suitable indoor area in which patients or residents may smoke."
As a result, 120 VA community living centers (nursing homes) have co-located smoking facilities for veteran residents. Recent news reports also indicate that VA operates nearly 1,000 outdoor and 15 other designated smoking areas. While the VFW understands the reasons for shifting VA medical facilities to smoke-free campuses, we are concerned that this legislation would force VA to comply with arbitrary implementation dates that would require a significant lifestyle change for veterans who rely on VA for their health care without enough time to adjust to new requirements, particularly for veterans who reside in VA nursing homes.
This legislation would require VA to prohibit indoor smoking within 90 days of enactment, and outdoors by October 2022. This means that veterans who reside in the 120 VA nursing homes with co-located smoking areas, most of which are ventilated indoor smoking rooms, would only be given three months to adjust to a smoke-free environment. Approximately 9,225 veterans currently reside in VA community living centers. This legislation would force approximately 20 percent of veterans estimated to be smokers (2,000 average daily census) to either leave or quit smoking within 90 days –– neither of which are easy decisions. If this subcommittee advances this legislation, the VFW urges it to consider extending the effective date to allow veterans more time to adjust to a new lifestyle.
If VA medical facilities are to become smoke-free campuses, VA must strengthen and expand its smoking cessation programs. This includes nicotine replacement therapy for veterans residing in VA nursing homes who tend to be older with severe service-connected disabilities, and who may not be able to easily travel off campus to smoke, as well as veterans using VA rehabilitation therapies for substance abuse of illicit drugs and alcohol. Treatment must be provided to veterans, not forced upon them. By forcing veterans to not smoke, unintended consequences of veterans' not seeking care and treatment they need will be inevitable. VA must also find ways to mitigate the loss of non-clinical benefits veterans identify with smoking, such as socializing with other veterans in smoking rooms.
Draft legislation, Veterans Affairs Medical Scribe Pilot Act of 2017
This legislation would require VA to carry out a pilot program to evaluate the efficacy of using medical scribes. The VFW supports this bill and has a recommendation to improve it.
A recent VA study evaluating common challenges faced by clinicians in their day-to-day environments, conducted by VA's Emerging Health Technology Service, concluded that burdensome non-clinician-centered electronic health care systems have a significant impact on morale and retention of VA physicians and veterans' experiences due to reduced facetime with providers. This legislation would reduce the time physicians spend on the keyboard and maximize face-to-face time with their patients.
The Emerging Health Technology Service assessment determined that searching and navigating disparate data systems consumes vast amounts of time VA clinicians can spend interacting with their patients. That is why the VFW is glad this legislation would require medical scribes to help providers navigate a veteran's electronic medical record and respond to messages, such as secure messages, in addition to serving as a scribe during appointments.
VA currently operates a Health Advocate Program in six VA medical facilities that is very similar to the medical scribe pilot programs this legislation would establish. However, the majority of VA's Health Advocate Program uses nurses instead of medical scribes to assist VA physicians. In addition to serving as a scribe during medical appointments and helping physicians navigate a veteran's electronic health care record, health advocates ensure veterans understand their treatment plans when the appointment has concluded. They also have appointments with veterans to evaluate whether they are making progress with their treatment. While the VFW does not believe scribing is the most effective use of nurses, we do urge this subcommittee to base the medical scribe pilot programs on VA's health advocate program. Medical scribes should be trained to help veterans understand their treatment plan and ensure veterans are on track to successfully complete their treatments.
Pursuant to Rule XI2(g)(4) of the House of Representatives, the VFW has not received any federal grants in Fiscal Year 2017, nor has it received any federal grants in the two previous Fiscal Years.
The VFW has not received payments or contracts from any foreign governments in the current year or preceding two calendar years.

Citizen Machiavelli
ByMark Hulliung
SubjectsHumanities
Hulliung, M. (2015). Citizen Machiavelli. New York: Routledge, https://doi.org/10.4324/9781315081236
Machiavelli has been viewed as the forerunner of the humanists of our day, liberals and socialists, who have discovered that moral ends sometimes require immoral means. Against this interpretation, Mark Hulliung argues that Machiavelli's "humanism," was rooted in classical notions of grandeur and greatness, and that his prime reason for admiring the ancient Roman republic was that it conquered the world. In short, Machiavelli was at his most Machiavellian precisely when he voiced his "civic humanism."Hulliung argues that Machiavelli's embrace of fraud and violence cannot be justified by patriotism or a professed concern with the common good. He indicts Machiavelli's use and abuse of history in the service of his cynical agenda the quest for power. Hulliung sees Machiavelli as a republican imperialist, embracing the heroic pagan virtues and consciously subverting the humanistic tradition of Cicero, and the religious morality of Christianity, with an intentionally skewed interpretation of republican Rome.By inverting the Stoical and Christian elements of the classics, Machiavelli made the humanistic tradition give birth to Machiavellism, its terrible child. Hulliung's thesis is convincing, and his book is a valuable contribution to the debate on Machiavellian thought.

One or two discs; 20th Century Fox; $24.98/$39.98
By Michael S. Gant
The search for a good movie made from a video game continues apace. For Hitman, Timothy Olyphant (the sheriff from Deadwood) shaves his head and starts blasting away as an assassin for hire who was trained by the shadowy "Organization." While on assignment to kill a Russian politician, Agent 47 discovers that he has been set up for a double cross. Only with the help of a Russian babe (Olga Kurylenko) can he outwit his Interpol pursuer (Dougray Scott) and a Russian police agent (Robert Knepper, Tea Bag from Prison Break, showing off a wildly improbable accent). Lots of gunplay ensues, from St. Petersburg to Istanbul. Most hilarious of all is the idea that no one seems to be able to catch Hitman, even though he walks around with a giant bar code tattooed on his naked neck. Olyphant, a restrained actor, doesn't ever feel comfortable in the implacable-killer mode. Given that a shaved head was required, they should have IM'd Jason Statham. The DVD is available in several variants; one version even allows for a digital copy to be made to a computer. The advance copy I saw included an unintentional "Making of" feature in which Olyphant struggles mightily to find some serious motivation for his character.

The U.S. Supreme Court famously dodged a big opportunity to rule on the constitutionality of partisan gerrymandering earlier this year. And with the key swing justice who was open to limits on the practice, Anthony Kennedy, retiring, presumably to be replaced by a standard conservative jurist like Brett Kavanaugh, the odds of SCOTUS doing anything about the unpopular and unsavory practice of map-rigging are low.
The emails, disclosed in a filing on Monday, boast of concentrating "Dem garbage" into four of the five southeast Michigan districts that Democrats now control, and of packing African-Americans into a metropolitan Detroit House district.
"It will help increase the black population in the black districts because the former is 17% black while the latter is only 6% black," he wrote.
The newly unearthed emails could lend momentum to a proposed constitutional amendment to end gerrymandering, which is set to be on the ballot in Michigan in November. The amendment is written and promoted by a nonpartisan group called Voters Not Politicians.
If nothing happens to change the old system in Michigan or in other states that have not already adopted limits on legislative control of the process, then raw political power will likely determine the shape of districts during the next round of redistricting in 2021. But I'm guessing the future mapmakers will be more careful to cover their tracks.

PINK FLOYD: ANOTHER SNIPPET FROM NEW ALBUM 'THE ENDLESS RIVER'
Media, News
5:43 pm October 4, 2014
Pink Floyd has shared another 30-second snippet from "The Endless River," the mostly instrumental album set for a Nov. 10 release. This clip is decidedly more uptempo than the other previews the band has shared, but David Gilmour's guitar is, as usual, unmistakably recognizable.
"The Endless River" will be Pink Floyd's first album since 1994's "The Division Bell," and only the third since the departure of Roger Waters. The album's foundation is in sessions conducted for "The Division Bell," and it includes keyboards by Rick Wright, Pink Floyd's keyboardist who died in 2008.

The title alone of this massive, two-volume textbook will obviously attract attention or curiosity. The first volume I cannot lift one-handed, and it does run to over a thousand pages so this is not just a failure of my physique.
Although entitled an atlas and indeed carrying colour illustrations on every single page, there is also an excellent, multi-author text. The panel of contributors draws heavily on the first editor's South American contacts, but includes many of the big names from further north and from Europe, although any UK contribution seems lacking.
Clever editorial work has ensured a consistency in style, and this is particularly evident in the series of chapters on cochlear and brainstem implantation. These two hundred pages would have made for a reasonable book in themselves, and topics covered include surgical approaches in radical cavities and in obliterated cochleae, bilateral or hybrid implants, residual hearing… you get the picture.
There is excellent coverage of basic sciences, imaging and surgical techniques, and the book is remarkable value, including as it does a DVD (which I defy anyone to extract without tearing the front page, as I did). The DVD reproduces the images from the text of course, but also has many excellent operative videos which will be a godsend for teachers and lecturers (who will of course surely acknowledge that other, more skilled hands are at work). The picture of a baffled sheep staring out of page 1067 will long stay with me, as I laughed out loud!
The title. I am not sure I ever really followed the 'Magic' suggestion, and it might deter those potential readers who are a little conservative in their outlook. There are those who would dismiss sac enhancement surgery, a chapter topic here, as requiring paranormal intervention to be effective, but I doubt that was the intention. I read through this book in my hospital office whilst playing the Grateful Dead on my PC, so may have been a little more attuned to the philosophical musings and idiosyncrasies that characterise this book. You may need to know your Star Wars if you are to follow the Dedication in the Preface for example and, if so, you'll spot their mistake in Jedi history. The subtitle 'The International Team Approach Based on Pathogenesis' is less catchy but may be more familiar.
The book will appear in English, Spanish and Chinese and deserves to be a great success. It is a high quality print and comes in a strikingly handsome cover. But it weighs a ton.

Embedded desktops at the moment are in all places: from alarm clocks to PDAs, from cellphones to automobiles, just about all the units we use are managed through embedded desktops. a tremendous category of embedded desktops is that of tough real-time structures, that have to meet strict timing necessities. As real-time structures develop into extra advanced, they can be applied utilizing dispensed heterogeneous architectures.
Analysis and Synthesis of disbursed Real-Time Embedded Systems addresses the layout of real-time functions carried out utilizing dispensed heterogeneous architectures. The structures are heterogeneous not just when it comes to parts, but in addition when it comes to communique protocols and scheduling rules. relating to this final element, time-driven and event-driven structures, in addition to a mixture of the 2, are thought of. Such structures are utilized in many software components like automobile electronics, real-time multimedia, avionics, scientific apparatus, and manufacturing facility platforms. The proposed research and synthesis recommendations derive optimized implementations that satisfy the imposed layout constraints. an incredible a part of the implementation procedure is the synthesis of the communique infrastructure, which has an important influence at the total approach functionality and cost.
Analysis and Synthesis of dispensed Real-Time Embedded Systems considers the mapping and scheduling initiatives inside of an incremental layout approach. to lessen the time-to-market of goods, the layout of real-time platforms seldom starts off from scratch. more often than not, designers commence from an already latest procedure, operating definite purposes, and the layout challenge is to enforce new performance on most sensible of the program. helping such an incremental layout approach presents a excessive measure of flexibleness, and will lead to very important mark downs of layout costs.

Home - Oil & Gas News - No room for complacency
No room for complacency
Submitted by Charlotte Owen on 6th August 2012
The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) tells Oil & Gas Technology how experience, watertight regulation and perpetual vigilance are the cornerstones to fail-safe fracking.
Drumheller Alberta Badlands Hoodoos Sandstone Formations on a Shale base, Alberta accounts for almost 80 per cent of the natural gas produced in Canada, making Alberta one the world's largest suppliers of natural gas
Canada has been producing natural gas from shale in the Appalachian Mountains since the late 1800s but it is only in the last six decades, as the extraction technologies have evolved, has the potential of the reserves begun to emerge.
Estimates suggest as much as 1,000 trillion cubic feet of shale gas could lie beneath several parts of Canada and almost 200,000 wells have been fractured in Western Canada alone over the last 60 years.
Although large-scale commercial production has yet to begin tapping away at these vast reserves, many companies have already began exploring for and developing shale gas resources in Alberta, British Columbia, Quebec, and New Brunswick. Today, there are two primary technologies used to produce shale gas: horizontal drilling and multi-stage hydraulic fracturing. Both are subject to constant development and innovation, propelling "a continuing entrepreneurial fortitude", according to Aaron Miller, CAPP manager of natural gas advocacy.
The potential benefits and opportunities of the resource are well known. Not only will it help quench North American thirst for natural gas but it could also provide immense commercial export opportunities; if enough of the resource is extracted Canada could be sharing its supplies with countries such as Japan and Korea, Markus Ermisch, CAPP media relations advisor told OGT.
Despite the risks too have being equally well-documented, Miller and Ermisch, unsurprisingly, believe they are largely unfounded. With "robust regulation" and standard setting there is no room for complacency; "you can never be too safe", believes Miller. There are also "huge economic incentives" to safe fracturing, he adds. Even though the risks, for example from contamination, are seen as minimal – due to the distance between the shale gas and the water aquifers being so far apart – the prospects of accident are enough to ensure the highest safety standards are already in place, according to Ermisch.
Standard-setting
With this ethos in mind, in January CAPP announced new Canada-wide hydraulic fracturing operating practices designed to improve water management and water and fluids reporting for shale gas and tight gas development across Canada. CAPP expects the hydraulic fracturing operating practices to inform and complement already existing regulatory requirements for the industry.
Developed by natural gas producers, the hydraulic fracturing operating practices apply to all CAPP members exploring for and producing natural gas in Canada. But the standards, according to Miller, could be replicated worldwide, and have already attracted interested. Countries keen to exploit their reserves but unsure of the best way forward, are looking to Canada with its decades of experience, Miller told OGT. New Zealand, for example, which is conducting an official investigation into the health and environmental impacts of fracking, has already taken in interest in the standards seeing Canada as "a leader in regulation" in this area, according to Miller.
"The hydraulic fracturing operating practices demonstrate the Canadian natural gas industry's continued efforts to ensure responsible resource development and protection of Canada's water resources," said CAPP President Dave Collyer in a company statement.
In September 2011, CAPP announced the industry's Guiding Principles for Hydraulic Fracturing, which obligate CAPP members to sound wellbore construction, fresh water alternatives, recycling where feasible, voluntary water reporting, fracturing fluid disclosure, and technical advancement and collaboration. The operating practices announced today support the guiding principles for hydraulic fracturing and strengthen industry's focus on continuous performance improvement.
CAPP Hydraulic Fracturing Operating Practices
Canada's shale and tight gas industry supports a responsible approach to water management and is committed to continuous performance improvement. Protecting our water resources during sourcing, use and handling is a key priority for our industry. We support and abide by all regulations governing hydraulic fracturing operations, water use and protection.
In addition, we commit to following these operating practices for hydraulic fracturing:
1. Fracturing Fluid Additive Disclosure
Purpose: To disclose on a well-by-well basis the chemical ingredients in fracturing fluid additives which are identified on Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for each additive, including trade names, general purpose and concentrations. This information will be made publicly available.
2. Fracturing Fluid Risk Assessment and Management
Purpose: To better identify and manage the potential health and environmental risks associated with fracturing fluid additives and ultimately increase the market demand for more environmentally sound fracturing fluids. The process for developing well-specific risk management plans for hydraulic fracturing fluid additives will be made publicly available.
3. Baseline Groundwater Testing
Purpose: To develop domestic water well sampling programs and to participate in regional groundwater monitoring programs; establish a process for addressing stakeholder concerns regarding water well performance; and to continue to collaborate with government and other industry operators.
4. Wellbore Construction and Quality Assurance
Purpose: To ensure that wellbores are designed and installed in a manner that maintains integrity before hydraulic fracturing begins, including creating a continuous cement barrier to protect groundwater and developing remedial plans in the unlikely event that a wellbore is compromised. Wellbore construction and quality assurance practices will be made publicly available as they relate to this practice.
5. Water Sourcing, Measurement and Reuse
Purpose: To safeguard surface water and groundwater quantity by assessing and measuring water sources, ensuring no withdrawal limits are exceeded, monitoring water sources as required to demonstrate the sustainability of the source; and collecting and reporting water use data. Water measurement, sourcing and reuse practices will be made publicly available.
6. Fluid Transport, Handling, Storage and Disposal
Purpose: To identify, evaluate and mitigate potential risks related to the transport, handling, storage and disposal of fluids (i.e. fracturing fluids, produced water, flowback water and fracturing fluid wastes) and ensure a quick response to accidental spills. Fluid transport, handling, storage and disposal practices will be made publicly available

Major Discovery – Chesapeake Energy Strikes Oil (and Gas) in Ohio's Utica Shale
July 29, 2011 Chesapeake Energy, Energy Companies, Ohio, Statewide OH, Utica Shale
After two years of research and experimental drilling, Chesapeake Energy announced yesterday they have struck oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas in Ohio's Utica Shale. This new find will boost Chesapeake's company value by 15-20 billion dollars and is causing quite a sensation among Ohioans.
An energy exploration company active in Ohio has declared the Utica Shale formation "liquid rich" in eastern Ohio, meaning the geological formation contains oil.
Utica Shale is a geological formation found several thousand feet below sea level, much deeper than the commonly discussed Marcellus Shale, a natural gas-rich formation that is now being explored in eastern Ohio and Pennsylvania.
On Thursday, Chesapeake Energy, based in Oklahoma City, released its quarterly earnings report, including in it references to this latest mineral find. Chesapeake, which holds 18 of the 24 permits to drill into Utica Shale in the state, said results of recent drilling indicate oil in eastern Ohio.
"Chesapeake is announcing the discovery of a major new liquids-rich play in the Utica Shale," the report said, noting that the finding was based on two years of "proprietary geoscientific, petrophysical and engineering research."
Chesapeake's report indicated that the discovery could be worth a $15 billion or $20 billion increase in company value.
"The company believes the Utica Shale will be characterized by a western oil phase, central wet gas phase and an eastern dry gas phase," the report said. Also, it said Utica Shale should be "economically superior to the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas."(1)
This is big news in Ohio, where even Gov. John Kasich has already issued a glowing statement about the find.
Here is the relevant section from Chesapeake's quarterly earnings report that has created a big splash in Ohio:
Chesapeake Announces a Major New Liquids-Rich Discovery in the Utica Shale in Eastern Ohio
Having achieved successful results from recent drilling activities in eastern Ohio, Chesapeake is announcing the discovery of a major new liquids-rich play in the Utica Shale. Based on its proprietary geoscientific, petrophysical and engineering research during the past two years and the results of six horizontal and nine vertical wells it has drilled, Chesapeake believes that its industry-leading 1.25 million net leasehold acres in the Utica Shale play could be worth $15 – $20 billion in increased value to the company. Chesapeake's dataset on the Utica Shale includes approximately 2,000 well logs, full-suite petrophysical data on approximately 200 wells, 3,200 feet of proprietary core samples from nine wells and production results from three wells. As a result of its analysis, the company believes the Utica Shale will be characterized by a western oil phase, a central wet gas phase and an eastern dry gas phase and is likely most analogous, but economically superior to, the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas.
Chesapeake is currently drilling in the Utica Shale with five operated rigs to further evaluate and develop its leasehold and anticipates increasing its rig count to eight by the end of 2011 and reaching at least a range of 16-20 rigs by year-end 2012. Also, the company believes that its leasehold position in the Utica Shale will support a drilling effort of at least 40 rigs by year-end 2014. Chesapeake is currently conducting a competitive process to monetize a portion of its Utica Shale leasehold position, which will be through an industry joint venture process or through a number of other monetization alternatives. The company anticipates completing a Utica Shale transaction in the 2011 fourth quarter.(2)

Alfred Körte (* 5. September 1866 in Berlin; † 6. September 1946 in Leipzig) war ein deutscher Klassischer Philologe. Er hat sich besonders durch seine Forschung-, Editions- und Übersetzertätigkeit um den Komödiendichter Menander verdient gemacht sowie durch die Entdeckung der antiken Stadt Gordion.

Leben
Alfred Körte war eines von zehn Kindern des Arztes Friedrich Körte (1818–1914) und seiner Frau Marie, geb. Thaer (1832–1898). Zu seinen Geschwistern zählten der Archäologe Gustav Körte (1852–1917), der Chirurg Werner Körte (1853–1937), der Architekt Friedrich Körte (1854–1934), der Maler Martin Körte (1857–1929) und der Königsberger Oberbürgermeister Siegfried Körte (1861–1919).

Körte studierte an den Universitäten Berlin und Bonn Klassische Philologie, unter anderem bei Hermann Usener, und wurde 1890 in Bonn promoviert. Ab 1895 war er hier Dozent und wurde 1896 habilitiert. 1899 folgte er einem Ruf als außerordentlicher Professor an die Universität Greifswald. 1903 wechselte er als Nachfolger von Erich Bethe auf ein Ordinariat an der Universität Basel. 1906 folgte er Bethe an die Universität Gießen. 1914 wechselte er nach Freiburg, 1917 nach Leipzig, wo er bis zu seiner Emeritierung 1934 wirkte. Bis 1926 war er in Leipzig Direktor der Studentischen Fürsorge. Im November 1933 gehörte er zu den Unterzeichnern des Bekenntnisses der Professoren an den deutschen Universitäten und Hochschulen zu Adolf Hitler und dem nationalsozialistischen Staat.

Körte war Mitglied der Sächsischen Akademie der Wissenschaften und des Deutschen Archäologischen Instituts.

Alfred Körte war ab 1896 mit Frieda Gropius (1873–1963), einer Tochter des Architekten Martin Gropius, verheiratet. Sie hatten drei Töchter und zwei Söhne, einer davon der Kunsthistoriker Werner Körte, die beide im Zweiten Weltkrieg fielen.

Leistungen
Er entdeckt 1895 nach genauem Studium der Quellen und der Topographie die phrygische Stadt Gordion in Kleinasien, wo er im Jahr 1900 zusammen mit seinem Bruder Gustav Ausgrabungen durchführte.

Nach den umfangreichen Papyrusfunden des Dichters Menander 1905 besorgte Körte die maßgebliche Ausgabe, die erst nach seinem Tode durch neue Funde teilweise überholt wurde. Er besorgte auch eine Übersetzung der Komödien, die im Insel-Verlag erschien. Körtes Arbeit um Menander wird auch im Nachruf von Webster hervorgehoben.

Körte war der beste Kenner der griechischen Komödie seiner Zeit und bereicherte die Realencyklopädie der klassischen Altertumswissenschaft um zahlreiche Artikel. Er beschäftigte sich außerdem mit hellenistischer Dichtung. Gemeinsam mit seinem Freund Richard Heinze gab er ab 1923 die Zeitschrift Hermes heraus. Zu dem Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff gewidmeten Band 1932 steuerte er einen Artikel Charakter bei, der einen Auszug aus seinen Menander-Studien gab.

Q: How Do Create WebService that Receives XML? I need to build a web service that accepts XML data. (It must accept XML, do not suggest alternative formats as that is not an option.)
I have googled "tutorial xml webservice c#" (and various permutations thereof) and followed several tutorials. I understand how to create a webservice in general and have created several basic web services to add numbers, convert temperatures, etc.
Unfortunately all my searches that include the keywords "xml" and "webservice" only turn up tutorials on how to parse XML files once you have them or read them from a file. I need to know how to get them in the first place. I cannot find anything that explains how to build a webservice that accepts XML as input.
What is the parameter type I should use for a webservice method that should receive XML? Is it a string? Is it an XmlDocument? Something else?
Can someone provide links to tutorial on how to create the C# classes and whatnot from the XSD?
Everything I have found indicates that's it is usually done by creating the classes in C# and then using a tool to create the XSD. However, I need to go the opposite direction. Where can I go to learn to do this? I don't care if I have to do it by hand; I'm not looking for a tool to do it for me.
Clearly I am very inexperience with web services, so I appreciate any help you can offer. But please don't direct me to basic "web service tutorials" because I have already done several (I stopped when they started repeating material I'd already done).
Also, please do not tell me "You need to learn about XML, Web Services, Serialization, etc" and other such overly broad hand-waving answers. I am aware that I need to earn about those things, and I am working on it. If you could be more specific, such as "first learn about X classes in c#, then learn about Y" or "learn about X concepts in WSDL, then learn about Y concepts of serialization in C#, etc", that would help.
If anyone could direct me to any free online courses / tutorial series that go through the process, that would be awesome as well.
Edit: Ok, apparently this question is not as specific as I think it is, so here is an example.
This is what another agency will send to my web service:
<Person>
    <LegalName>
      <FirstName>Ralph</FirstName>
      <LastName>Anderson</LastName>
      <PhoneticFirstName>rah-lf</PhoneticFirstName>
    </LegalName>
    <SSN>122-34-1232</SSN>
    <Demographics>
      <Sex>male</Sex>
      <Height>502</Height>
    </Demographics>
    <DriversLicense>
      <DriversLicenseNumber>1234</DriversLicenseNumber>
      <IssuingState>CA</IssuingState>
    </DriversLicense>
<Person>

My understanding is I need to write something like this:
public Service () {

    [WebMethod]
    public void CreateRecord(XmlDocument newRecord)
    {
        // do stuff
    }
}

A: If I understand the question correctly, you probably want to take a string as the parameter and parse it once you've received it. There are other ways to accomplish the same thing, but without more information, I can't suggest them.
In order to parse the string once you've received it you can reverse engineer your XSD into C# classes using the xsd.exe tool: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/x6c1kb0s(v=vs.110).aspx. The command would look something like xsd.exe /c your.xsd.
Then, you would use the XmlSerializer's DeSerialize method to turn the XML string into objects.
Hope this helps.

Morocco - The Ministry of Energy, Mines, Water and Environment of the Kingdom of Morocco, has confirmed attendance at the Africa Energy Forum (AEF) in Copenhagen from 7-9 June 2017.
The annual gathering for government ministers, heads of utilities, project developers and global investors driving forward the development of Africa's energy projects is expected to bring together about 2 000 participants to Copenhagen this June. Last year, 2016, the AEF was held in London and attracted 2 100 participants from 80 countries including 32 African countries.
Morocco is becoming a leading light in energy solutions on the African continent. At the Powering Africa Summit which took place in Washington DC from 9 -10 March, Morocco's ONEE presented their Gas to Power Programme and MASEN discussed their sustainable energy programme under the leadership of Mustapha Bakkoury, President and Chief Executive Officer.
In a press release, EnergyNet, the organisers of AEF, point out that both ONEE and MASEN are clearly focused on a broader role within Africa carrying with them the potential of building physical energy links between the continent and Europe. "The support of the Ministry at the Africa Energy Forum (AEF) this year underlines the commitment from the Kingdom of Morocco to explore energy partnerships with Europe and hasten the pace of foreign direct investment in Morocco," added EnergyNet.
EnergyNet has also revealed that the AEF will have a new Platinum agenda stream that will bring together senior level government officials with some of the world's biggest investors in discussions on how to accelerate projects, whilst specific country sessions will explore the unique investment climates and priority projects for countries such as Nigeria, South Africa, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Mozambique, Morocco, Ethiopia, and Kenya.
Is Wastewater the New Black Gold?


A leading Scottish children's charity has issued a warning about the likely impact of a Westminster Bill in Scotland.
Children in Scotland has expressed serious concerns over plans in the Counter Terrorism and Security Bill for a new duty on organisations and staff to report children as young as two judged to be at risk of becoming involved in terrorism.
The consultation on the Bill emphasises the type of constitutional issues Children in Scotland highlighted in comments they made last autumn in response to the Smith Commission recommendations.
Crucially, the charity says the proposals risk further confusion and tension between reserved and devolved functions, in this case counter terrorism (reserved to the UK Government) and education and child protection (devolved to the Scottish Government).
This is another example of how the febrile atmosphere of English politics currently affects Scotland in a completely inappropriate way.
If we had genuine Home Rule, such an intervention simply couldn't happen.
The consultation closes next Friday.
WTF! Add that to my school day, why don't you? I give in. Not!
Just another part of the propaganda campaign to make us believe we are under a genuine threat from "home-grown terrorism".
If only people would look at the evidence, they would know that none of the official stories about 'terrorist incidents' (nowadays exclusively 'Islamic') here and elsewhere is true. But by the time people wake up (if ever), the increasingly oppressive police state will have become a fait accompli.
I know lots of people who still think the 3 buildings on 9/11 fell because of plane's hitting them . The same applies to the Whitehouse????.
Including, of course, fire professionals and engineers. The construction of the Twin Towers was such that a downwards domino of the floors was the most serious risk of catastrophic failure from the word go. Once the fire disconnected one floor from the external walls and the internal concrete core, it could only go downwards, as it would act like a disc sliding down a pole. There was a rapid chain reaction as the building was "unzipped", with each floor torn off the walls and central core quicker than the last.
People who say demolition charges were needed to bring it down are just not familiar with that type of construction. I remember hearing one engineer on the radio shortly after the incident who felt that no-one else would have got planning permission to build that type of structure on that scale.
Do you know who built the Twin Towers? The New York Port Authority. Do you know who approves planning applications in that area? The New York Port Authority. In short, the port authority cut corners to build the towers as cheap as possible. The only cover-up was them being absolved of all responsibility. Patriotism meant not blaming Americans. We're also (see Charlie Hebdo) not allowed to criticise the victims of terror attacks, even when they do something wrong.
This is a photo of my grandson, almost. Surely he has the right to some privacy while playing?
Are we living in 21st century Scotland, or in Orwell's 1984?
Somewhat heavy handed response to a heavy handed and ill conceived proposal that has already been widely attacked by David Davis, Liberty and groups involved in nursery education.
This scary stuff is also very useful in diverting attention away from voting for more nuclear weapons,more austerity ,fiddling the employment figures and saying Britain's debt is in fact Scotland's debt e't'c.
The stage managed 'Acts of Terrorism' are not complete yet and what is guaranteed is that some major 'incident' will happen before the GE.
If true this is simply bonkers.
Maybe we should be identifying 2 year olds at risk of becoming politicians so we can "root out" this kind of nonsense.

Ionic liquids studied using NMR
By Neil Withers2005-05-10T11:15:00+01:00
The first steps towards performing routine NMR spectroscopy in ionic liquids have been taken by a group of scientists working in Germany.
Ralf Giernoth and co-workers at the University of K?ln have developed high performance NMR techniques so that reactions in ionic liquids can be studied to levels of resolution similar to those achieved in more conventional solvents.
Ionic liquids have been hailed as new 'green' solvents but to date there have been no routine spectroscopic methods available to understand their structure and reactions.
Giernoth and his group hope their work will be used by others as a basis for future in situ spectroscopic studies. 'We are most certainly only at the beginning of a large field of research. There is still so much to learn,' he said.

I hope someone can answer this query.
I am on H1B visa and my wife on H4 dependent visa staying in Chicago.
My wife is pregnant and we had few concerns for the child being born in US.
1) After the child's birth, we will be moving back to India. So will the child be treated as an NRI or Indian citizen ?
2) I read in the forums that we shouldn't get US passport, instead get Indian Passport. Is this correct ? Does the child still have the right to choose after 18 yrs which citizenship he/she needs ?
3) We will have to book a flight ticket for the new born child. So without US passport can he still travel ? Do I have to apply for Indian Passport for the child while in US and then travel to India ? If yes then only Indian Passport is enough or do I have to take some Visa as well for the child ?
Anybody any light on the posted query ?
It's your choice. Under Indian law, the child is an Indian citizen if registered within 1 year of birth at an Indian consulate, with you declaring that the child does not hold a foreign passport.
As above, the child is an Indian citizen if you choose to register him/her. Under Indian law, an Indian citizen by descent will lose Indian citizenship if they do not renounce their other nationalities by 6 months after the age of majority.
As your child is a US citizen, he/she is required by US law to enter the US with a US passport. (There are some exceptions where US citizen children entering by land don't need a US passport, but I am assuming you probably won't be entering by land every time.) Indian citizenship rules presume that someone with a foreign passport has voluntarily acquired a foreign nationality, and thus will automatically cause loss of Indian citizenship. So basically, your child cannot come back to the US or they will have to lose Indian citizenship.
The child will need some passport to enter the destination country (India). The US has no exit checks, and anyone can leave the US at any time as long as they can enter the destination country.
Ankit, Am on the same situation?? Were you able to apply for Indian passport finally?
I applied for US passport and took Indian Visa and traveled to India with my kid.


Brad Pitt says his new film 'Fury' has helped make him a ''better father''.
The 50-year-old star has six children, Maddox, 13, Pax, 10, Zahara, nine, Shiloh, eight, and six-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox, with wife Angelina Jolie, and he admitted the World War II movie has taught him how best to ''command respect''.
He said: ''I learnt a lot from this film. We all walked away absolutely enriched.
The Hollywood hunk also insisted Angelina - who he married in August - is not the one in charge in their family home, despite being made an honorary dame earlier this month.
But he admitted the ceremony at Buckingham Palace in which Britain's Queen Elizabeth recognised the brunette beauty's services to UK foreign policy and the campaign to end war zone sexual violence was a fantastic family affair.
Brad stars opposite Shia LaBeouf, Logan Lergman, Michael Pena and Scott Eastwood in 'Fury', which sees him portray Sherman tank commander Don 'Wardaddy' Collier who leads his five-man team on a mission behind enemy lines.


A report from Goldman Sachs commodities researchers said they believed Saudi Arabia could be producing 500,000 to 1 million barrels a day more than official numbers reflect.
If correct, this assessment would mean that the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries has far less spare production capacity to make up for the disruption of Libyan supplies than it claims, leaving oil markets in a much more perilous situation than anybody realizes.
The Goldman report states that it believes Saudi Arabia's true oil production differs from the official figures.
"We believe that Saudi Arabia has been producing 0.5 million to 1 million barrels a day above the official numbers since November," Goldman analysts said.
Saudi Arabia's oil production is more important than ever today, because after the outbreak of serious civil violence in Libya late last month shut down around at least half the country's 1.5 million barrels a day of oil exports, Saudi Arabia stepped in to fill the gap. It promised to pump an extra 500,000 to 600,000 barrels of oil a day, taking its oil production to 9 million barrels a day, to ensure that nobody ran out.
This was a typical move from the Saudis, who like to play the role of Federal Reserve for the oil world, using their unparalleled influence to prevent the oil price surging too high or dropping too low.
However, Goldman Sachs' estimate, if correct, would suggest OPEC spare capacity is less than thought.
"This would imply that OPEC spare capacity could actually have dropped below 2 million b/d already," Goldman Sachs' analysts said.
This is a level last seen in 2008, when the oil price hit $147 a barrel.

New Home Office guidance published on right to work checks from 1 July 2021
On 18 June 2021 the Home Office released new guidance for employers on carrying out right to work checks. This has been published ahead of significant changes to right to work checks affecting EEA/Swiss (EEA) nationals and their family members from 1 July 2021.
The guidance answers the question of what employers should do if they find out an existing employee has failed to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS) by 30 June 2021, but is silent on the position for EEA nationals who started work unlawfully in the UK between 1 January 2021 and 30 June 2021.
The guidance, titled 'Employer right to work checks supporting guidance', replaces previous guidance titled 'An employer's guide to right to work checks'. We have set out below some of the main changes and their implications, as well as some action points for employers.
It is important to be clear that the changes to right to work checks apply only to checks carried out on or after 1 July 2021. Retrospective checks are not required for EEA nationals or their family members whose right to work was checked by 30 June 2021, even if their employment starts after this date.
An employer who has carried out a compliant check will continue to have a statutory excuse against liability for a civil penalty if the employee is later found not to have the right to work in the UK. However, the employer may still have to terminate the person's employment unless a transitional measure (discussed below) applies.
Changes to manual right to work checks
Amended acceptable document lists are in place for manual right to work checks conducted from 1 July 2021.
List A documents prove an ongoing right to work, with no need for a repeat check. List B documents will require a repeat check, either because the individual has a time limit on their stay in the UK, or because they have an application, administrative review or appeal outstanding with the Home Office.
Changes to List A documents are as follows:
Removal of EEA passports and ID cards
Removal of permanent residence documents issued by the Home Office under EU law to EEA nationals
Removal of permanent residence cards issued by the Home Office under EU law to family members of EEA nationals
Addition of unexpired documents issued by the Home Office to family members of EEA nationals, indicating the holders can stay in the UK indefinitely – in practice this means a biometric residence cards (BRCs) confirming settled status under the EUSS
Addition of Irish passports or passport cards
Addition of documents issued by Jersey, Guernsey or the Isle of Man confirming settled status under their EUSS, when combined with a Positive Verification Notice (PVN) from the Home Office Employer Checking Service (ECS)
List B Group 1
Changes to List B Group 1 documents (which provide a statutory excuse until the expiry of the document) are as follows:
Removal of residence cards issued by the Home Office under EU law to family members of EEA nationals or individuals with a derivative right of residence
Removal of EEA family permits (this is not a formal amendment to List B Group 1 but these will cease to be valid from 1 July 2021 so will no longer be an endorsement that shows the holder is allowed to stay in the UK for a limited period and to do the work in question)
Addition of unexpired documents issued by the Home Office to family members of EEA nationals, indicating the holders can stay in the UK for a limited period – in practice this means biometric residence cards (BRCs) confirming pre-settled status under the EUSS, as well as EUSS family permits
Addition of documents issued by Jersey, Guernsey or the Isle of Man confirming pre-settled status under their EUSS, when combined with a Positive Verification Notice (PVN) from the Home Office Employer Checking Service (ECS)
Addition of frontier worker permits – in practice these will be relatively rare as physical documents are only issued if there was a technical reason an electronic permit could not be applied for
Changes to List B Group 2 documents (which provide a statutory excuse for six months) are as follows:
Removal of CoAs issued to family members of EEA nationals with an outstanding application made under EU law, when combined with a PVN from the ECS
Addition of CoAs issued to individuals who have made an EUSS application in the UK, Jersey or Guernsey on or before 30 June 2021, when combined with a PVN from the ECS
The change with the biggest practical impact is that an EEA passport (other than an Irish passport or passport card) or EEA national ID card will no longer be acceptable evidence of right to work.
There is also scope for employers to be confused about whether a BRC has been issued in accordance with EU law (not acceptable) or under the EUSS (acceptable). To minimise the risk of making a mistake, employers can invite, but cannot require, EEA family members to provide them with a share code to do an online right to work check rather than relying on their BRC. The guidance confirms the Home Office intends to phase out BRCs as an acceptable right to work document from early 2022.
Changes to online right to work checks
Rather a clarification than a change, the new guidance confirms that a fully compliant online right to work check can be conducted with the individual being present by live video link (ie they do not have to be present in person). This was not explicitly stated in the previous guidance.
Transitional measure for employees who fail to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme on time
The question of what to do if it comes to light an employee has not applied under the EUSS by 30 June 2021 is one that has been causing employers concern in recent months. This is because there is a criminal offence of knowing, or having reasonable cause to believe, that an employee is working unlawfully. Illegal working is also an offence for the individual.
The guidance is comforting for employers, because it makes it clear that the Home Office is not intending to prosecute employers who have employed an EEA national on or before 30 June 2021 in good faith and with a compliant right to work check.
Until 31 December 2021, a pragmatic transitional measure has been put in place to cover existing employees failing to apply under the EUSS. Employers are instructed by the Home Office to do the following:
Advise the individual to make a late application to the EUSS within 28 days and provide the employer with a certificate of application (CoA) – if no CoA is received, the employer should commence the termination process
If the CoA is received, contact the ECS for a PVN – this may also involve providing evidence of the start date of employment, such as a copy of the initial right to work check
Carry out repeat checks before the expiry of each PVN as relevant, until such time as the EUSS application is decided and the individual can verify their EUSS status using an online right to work check
Perhaps unintentionally, the transitional arrangement only covers EEA nationals with employment commencing on or before 30 June 2021, leaving a gap for those whose right to work check was undertaken by 30 June 2021 but whose employment does not commence until 1 July 2021 or after. It also does not cover family members of EEA nationals. We have raised these issues with the Home Office and hope the measure will be expanded in a future version of the guidance.
It should be noted that the transitional measure does not apply to new employees due to start work on or after 1 July 2021. Where an individual needs to make a late application to the EUSS in that scenario, the Home Office advises employers not to start the employment until EUSS status has been granted and checked.
EEA nationals who have worked unlawfully in the UK from 1 January 2021
Some EEA nationals who entered the UK on or after 1 January 2021 will have worked unlawfully here if they are not eligible to apply under the EUSS. This is because they will (perhaps unknowingly) have entered as a visitor rather than under EU free movement rights, which ended on 31 December 2020.
Given that EEA national passports and national ID cards are still acceptable evidence of right to work up to 30 June 2021, it would not be surprising if some individuals may have been confused about their rights. The problem may not be picked up until some point in the future, for example if the employer chooses to undertake retrospective right to work checks, during examination on a future entry to the UK, or in the course of a sponsor compliance audit or Home Office illegal working or other enforcement operations.
This separate group of individuals are not covered in the guidance at all. The transitional measure will not apply to them as they are not eligible to apply under the EUSS, so employers will have to commence the termination process once the issue has come to light.
It is to be hoped that further guidance Home Office guidance will be forthcoming on how this issue will be dealt with, particularly because if an affected individual attempts to regularise their immigration status, there is a risk of refusal due to working in breach of immigration conditions and/or overstaying (if the person has remained in the UK for more than six months).
Action points for employers
Employers may wish to consider the following suggested action points:
Update the information provided to employees for right to work checks to be carried out from 1 July 2021, ensuring the amended List A and List B documents are included
Determine whether to undertake retrospective right to work checks for EEA nationals (aside from Irish nationals) and family members whose right to work check relied on documents issued under EU law – this should take place on or after 1 July 2021 and ideally by 31 December 2021 to make use of the transitional measure if needed
Promote awareness of the COVID-19 EUSS guidance and events that could break continuity of residence, tying this in with the business's working from home abroad policy if the business has one
Continue to encourage the disclosure of EUSS grant (both for pre-settled and settled status), and diarise any pre-settled status expiries for repeat checks
Consider sending communications to staff highlighting that settled status applications can be made as soon as a person has accrued five years' continuous residence, or if certain circumstances are relevant, they can apply earlier
Consider offering to log a reminder for employees with pre-settled status, flagging the earliest date they may qualify for settled status (or advising them to set a reminder for themselves), as well as encouraging employees to disclose grant of settled status
