Plymouth shootings: 'Not enough staff' in police department that gave Jake Davison his shotgun back
The police department that returned the Plymouth gunman's shotgun to him weeks before he killed five people does not have enough staff, a senior officer has said.
Devon and Cornwall Police seized Jake Davison's shotgun in 2020 after he assaulted two teenagers in a park but it was returned to him shortly before the rampage two years ago.
Chief Superintendent Roy Linden told an inquest that the force gets 3,000 applications and renewals for shotgun and firearms licences every year and had the most licence holders in the UK.
Asked if the force, which he revealed had more than 30,000 shotgun licence holders and 11,132 firearms certificates in 2017 at the time Davidson applied for his, had enough staff to deal with that number, he said: "The simple answer is no."
He also admitted a backlog at the force at the time had "probably increased now".
Mr Linden's comments came as an image of the pump-action shotgun used by Davison, 22, was shown at the inquest on Thursday.
He shot dead his mother, Maxine, after a row at their home in August 2021 then wandered out into the street and killed Sophie Martyn, three, her father Lee, 43, Stephen Washington, 59, and Kate Shepherd, 66, in the Keyham area of Plymouth.
Davison, an apprentice crane operator, then turned the black Weatherby pump-action shotgun on himself before armed police officers reached him.
The inquest heard Davison applied for a shotgun certificate in July 2017.
He was issued a certificate, which was valid for five years, by Devon and Cornwall Police in January 2018.
Two years later, the force revoked the licence and seized his shotgun after Davison assaulted the teenagers.
The licence and weapon were returned to him in 2021, weeks before the killings.
Gun laws tightened after Plymouth shootings
Davison had an argument with his mother before shootings
The inquest was told that returning a licence after it has been revoked is classed as a "high-risk decision" in guidance issued to police in 2016.
Giving evidence, Superintendent Adrian Davis, a firearms licensing manager at Warwickshire Police, said these decisions should be conducted by a specialist licensing manager or a senior officer in certain circumstances.
He said he had 36 years experience in clay pigeon shooting and had only seen that type of shotgun used on one occasion.
Supt Davis said that Davison would have used a standard form used by forces across the country to apply for his licence and would have had to disclose any medical conditions and convictions, as well as providing a person to act as a referee.
The inquest heard Davison declared that he had autism on his application and gave consent for his GP to share information with police about his medical history.
However, Davison's GP refused to provide an opinion to police on whether he should be issued with a shotgun certificate.
Supt Davis confirmed there was "no requirement" for a GP to provide a report for an application at that time, or even for officers to contact a GP.
However, he told the inquest that officers should use "professional curiosity".
Supt Davis said the "vast, vast majority" of those with shotgun licences "pose absolutely no danger whatsoever to public safety or to the peace".
Ch Supt Linden, addressing the families at the inquest, said the victims had "needlessly lost their lives".
"It is our intention that this tragic incident will serve to drive improvements in firearms licensing both in Devon and Cornwall and nationally," he said.

Angie Purnell
"When I was little, I had some skills. Now, I've been with the art group for eight years and this will be my fourth or fifth art show. I paint, collage and make cards for people. I'm inspired by the colors I see around the city. They bring out my creativity, and if I'm mad, creating art helps bring my stress level down. I had fun at the show last year and I'm looking forward to being around people and selling my art this year."
"I've been a part of the art group for four years and this will be my fourth art show. I'm inspired by the different situations I've been in with homelessness and drug addiction. In my piece this year, you can see me sleeping on roofs and cardboard boxes. It shows where I've been. And, it's me overcoming all of that. I am a community organizer and activist – I love organizing around homeless issues and policies. I have my own place now, I'm happy. I'm excited to see how people react."
Brenda Bumgardner
"I've been an artist since I was little – my mother still has stuff from when I was seven. This will be my second art show and last year there seemed to be a fair amount of enthusiasm for the show. I'm excited to show off work I've made with new materials like tiles, paints and resin. I'm inspired by the elements, flowers, photography and whatever I happen to be reading. When I don't do art, I feel very bad. I can't go without it. Art makes me feel like I'm worthwhile – like I've got something to contribute."
Calvin Thomas
"I've been an artist since I was a child and have been involved with the art group for five years. Last year was my first art show and I'm looking forward to having an audience for my work again this year. Nature inspires me. I have my own style, I know how to capture motion and my pieces exert a lot of energy."
"Art relaxes me. I've been an artist since kindergarten, and I've tried to do my best ever since. I've been in the art group for seven years and have been in the art show every year. The things I see around me, the photos I see in magazines and Saturday morning cartoons inspire me. I'm trying to complete at least seven pieces this year and hope to be in more art shows in the future."
Colin Ollivierre
"I have been a part of the art group for two years and this will be my second show. I love doing art and I hope that people can see that I love animals, nature and my dog, Mickey Mouse. I've had her since she was born and named her after my favorite Disney character. We've been through a lot together and she inspires me. I'm excited to see all the different art and to meet new people and let them see my art. I can't wait to see how they like it."
Curtis McLaughlin
"I started drawing like any child would do, you know on the walls and stuff, but I didn't destroy the walls – I'd draw Pac Man. When I went to middle school, others noticed I could draw. There was a large gap from there. Then, a friend found art supplies in his storage unit. I thought, "Maybe I should start drawing again." Whenever I'm sitting somewhere, I'd start drawing. A woman told me about the art show, but I didn't want to come at first. But, everybody, even my case manager, was telling me to come. I've been in the group for about a year and this is my first art show. Now, the group feels like a place where I can just sit and draw. "
Kelvin Morris
"I first realized I could draw when I was eight years old in Kingston, Jamaica. I remember sitting in my mom's stall, just drawing. Her friend stole the drawing because it was so good – then I knew. I won medals for my art in Jamaica even though I had no formal training past high school. I'm inspired by everything, whatever comes naturally. I've been a part of the art group for roughly ten years. I've been to three or four art shows, and last year I had 24 pieces. I'm always excited to be around and work with everyone at the show."
Marie Menapace
"I just started making beaded art a few months ago, mostly for myself because it's relaxing, but then my therapist told me about the art group. When I see the colors of the beads, I get a vision of what I want the jewelry to look like, especially with necklaces. That's where the creativity comes in. This is my first show and I'm excited for people to see my work."
Richard Mayo
"I've been an artist since I was a kid, but have only been a part of the art group for six months. This is my first art show, and I'm excited to meet other artists and see what motivates them. I am working on four pieces about equality, justice and court decisions that reflect division in this country. They say that a picture is worth a thousand words and that art transcends language, so I use my work to remove the ambiguity of words and express myself in the language of art. I am hoping that people's minds and eyes will be opened to what's pulling at the fabric of equality."
Ron Williams
"When I see my art making somebody happy, that's when I'm happy. And now, art helps me, too. If there's something I don't want to talk about, I can do a painting and it starts the conversation."
"I've been an artist for five to six years. When our house was being foreclosed, at the lowest point of my life, I found some paint supplies and held on to them. I was hoping I could make some good out of a bad situation. Now, I've been with the art group for four years, and have attended the art show every year. My art is inspired by other art that I see. I do some realism, cartoons and abstract. I hope that every time you look at my work, you see something new. When I first started out, art helped me get back on track when I felt frustrated or was having a particularly bad day. Now, it's fun. Every time I'm off from work I am painting – I always have supplies with me. I want to bring some beauty to the world and motivate someone to make their life better through art."

PPP's Teixeira cleared to be included on party list after renouncing Canadian citizenship
PPP's Gail Teixeira
Former Opposition Chief Whip and parliamentarian Gail Teixeira has officially renounced her Canadian citizenship, paving the way for the veteran politician's return to the National Assembly and her Party's candidate list.
Teixeira made this revelation on Monday, on the sidelines of the first day of the National Toshaos Conference at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre.
When asked, she informed INews that her documents were in fact finalised a couple months ago.
"I received my renunciation since June 26, 2019. My Canadian citizenship was renounced by the Canadian authorities. I was the first of the whole group. Everyone said they were going to, they were going to, but I was done," she said.
Asked about a return to Parliament, where she has served for decades, Teixeira confirmed that she was thus cleared to return on the People's Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) candidate list from whence potential Members of Parliament (MPs) are drawn.
In April of this year, Opposition Leader and PPP General Secretary Bharrat Jagdeo had committed to ensuring that future electoral lists submitted by his party to stand for Parliament would be free of dual citizens.
Jagdeo was at the time appearing on the "Jumpstart" radio programme on Monday morning, when he laid down his Party's position on dual citizenship. He noted the effect a ruling on the no-confidence case in his Party's favour at the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) would have on the whole issue.
Teixeira was among seven Members of Parliament (three Opposition and four Government), who had to resign from the National Assembly and as Ministers, because of their dual citizenship status, after a ruling confirmed that dual citizens could not hold those positions.
The ruling in question was delivered by acting Chief Justice Roxane George, who in January upheld the passage of the no-confidence motion against the Government, ruling that it was validly passed with the 33 majority.
At the time, the Government not only argued that 34 was the majority of 65, but it also argued that former Alliance For Change (AFC) MP Charrandas Persaud, as a dual citizen, should not have been in the National Assembly in the first place.

70 Replies Latest reply on Sep 14, 2018 3:07 PM by brunofs Branched to a new case.
Is anyone else having a problem with search functionality?
has anyone else noticed that there is something odd with the search results? Places / content not showing up - and only some people?
I am on cloud version.
Yes we are. I keep getting an error when I search for people including myself.
I have logged it with Aurea - seems like there is an EU outage and they are working on it. No timeline as to when it will be resolved.
I have two reports from employees this morning that when they click on a person's profile link from spotlight search, they get a 404 error. Have no idea if this is related. About to open a case. We are on cloud, hosted in the Phoenix (US) data center and are not yet on the AWS release. The search problem you describe sounds very much like the issues that so many of us dealt with from Feb - April of 2018. See: https://community.jivesoftware.com/docs/DOC-243825#jive_content_id_Cloud_Search and For Customers Experiencing Cloud Search Issues: Status Update & Resolution Plan and For Customers Experiencing Cloud Search Issues: 4/23/2018 Status Update.
Yes, I just started getting reports from users and seeing blank (zero) results in search. I was doing testing yesterday and it worked fine then so it must be something that happened today. We are also Cloud (not migrated to AWS yet) and are part of the Phoenix US data center.
Hi - search is down across Europe - People Search is working, but Places and Content are not.
We are on Cloud, not migrated.
We have had to send global comms to our global community managers, apologising for the outage, and will need to continue to send updates until the issue is fixed.
We have the reverse so far. People search broken and other searches working (well -- am not certain on that as it has gotten worse throughout the day, so maybe all types of search are broken now).
I'm not seeing any consistency with the errors. Some results return nothing, even though there should be people, places and content in results. Other searches show content, but no places or people. And yet other searches show places, but no people or content.
Very weird, and very frustrating.
Updates are being posted here. Once available the RCA will be posted here as well.
What update David? There hasn't been anything new posted on the status page since 9AM PT. That's over 4 hours of silence.
David Sunderland - while we all understand that outages happen and things go wrong which is beyond your control, I think the frustration most of us feel is that we are not informed when this happens or updated regularly as to progress. Even an update saying the issue is still being worked on is more reassuring than silence.
Has anyone received any updates? I have no response to my case other than a message at 3am this morning telling me it has been resolved - which clearly is not the case. The Jive Software Status still shows the message from yesterday. We are continuing to see search errors and are now seeing Spaces and Tags not showing up when creating or moving content.
I haven't received a single response to my case, and Search is still not working here.
Our Sev1 case was closed over night. I reopened it, but wonder if creating a new one would be better.
Same here, despite not being given the chance to test and confirm if it was fixed -- which it's not. I reopened, but am frustrated I have to wait 9 hours before I can escalate.
Yes, I'm seeing No results for searches that should surface hundreds of pieces of content. Will be logging a case this morning.
Our engineering teams are aware and are digging in to address. I encourage everyone seeing this to raise a case with Support.
Thank you for reporting here in the channel.
"You can escalate the case after 69:40hrs from now. Rest assured, we are working hard on this case to find a resolution. Please read the escalation guide available at our support central for more information."
Just to jump on the linking things, providing a link to the phone directory referenced in auto-reply emails from support, rather than just a link to the general supportal would also be appreciated.
Keeley Sorokti to your comments about escalating a support case - this is a limitation. We'll in the process of changing the functionality in the near future, but don't have a timeline today. Due to this limitation, a case can't be upgraded to higher severity and you've pointed to the limitation with the option to escalate in the portal.
2) Log an new case with appropriate severity. Reference the original issue and what's changed.
Hey keeley, I have been complaining about this change in support process. The ability to escalate is now limited to some dozens of hours after case creation. Not the right approach; sometimes an escalation is needed sooner.
My big question here is that the status page says the AWS Search is impacted. Am wondering if we got moved to AWS search without our knowledge. I didn't think we were on AWS search yet.
Keeley, Our community is not on AWS yet either, but over this past weekend our Search was migrated to AWS. I received a Jive notification about this in August. Perhaps you were part of the same group who's search was migrated over the weekend?
Status page now says the issue is affecting all customers world-wide. So, I think they expanded the scope of the issue inside the original "AWS alert."
I'm just assuming that's why I did not get a text notification.
I am hoping we get an update soon since it has been hours since they last reported anything. Even my support case has been quiet for a while. I also haven't seen any improvement in search.
I still have the same concerns I mentioned in my other comment: https://community.jivesoftware.com/docs/DOC-247792?et=watches.email.document_comment#comment-3571790 . With the issues over the past 6 months with AWS how is this an improvement from the current infrastructure? Are these issues on Jive/Aurea's side? Or is these actual issues with Amazon? Hard to believe if it is the later. Our upgrade to AWS is coming just before our companies busiest time of the year and our community is used for support for front-line associates. I would really like to see an explanation regarding these recent outages so I can inform our leaders.
The search issue seems to be almost fixed.
Shared Services are doing the rebalancing and redistribution to correct the issues. Progress will continue, today and probably tomorrow (Sept 11th) as it is considered as a HIGH priority issue."
After this message they has ran multi-restart.
Unfortunately search still not working.
Take our apologies for this situation, I understand how important search function for your business, engineers are doing their best for solution.
Hi Chris Wilson - Can yo uplease remind me where that Status report can be found? I had it bookmarked but can't locate it.
FYI - We're Non-AWS in EUS and our search was offline for several hours again (EU Data Center) - and was restored ~1pm EDT.
Keeley Sorokti - I'm not yet on AWS either - scheduled to be migrated in Oct.
Day 2 - still not fixed - Shai Sagi - any news?
This is clearly a work in progress.
Aaah, the beauty of SaaS... Real time updates!
Sam, what data center are you located in? We get some results followed by zero results. It's very inconsistent for us right now.
Amsterdam, not in AWS yet.
We are aware of intermittent issues with CloudSearch affecting US Customers.
Yeah, more like completely nonoperational for 36 hours straight, but whatev.
As you might imagine, we are facing huge pressure from the business about loss to productivity.
What we need is HOURLY updates. You are keeping us in vacuum which only frustrates our executives and further depletes our users' confidence in the platform.
Search must work. Full stop.
When it's not working, we need regular and meaningful updates about the progress for its restoration.
At some point, a "disaster event" is declared and we roll back?
Our instance is in Phoenix data center, but our Search is on AWS. I just had support confirm this in my case. Anyone else who thinks you're not on AWS might want to check this as well since Search is separate.
I also logged on to 'contact us' and requested a call back. I got the message 'someone will be in touch with you shortly' - that was over a day ago and have not heard from anyone.
I want to update you that we are still working on this full power.
To address the issue we had to perform an emergency maintenance procedure, unfortunately this procedure will take approximately another day.
We realise the impact this issue has on your communities and apologise for it, this maintenance procedure will make the search service more resilient for the long term.
Please make sure to follow the status page where the status will be updated.
Thanks for the update Shai. There seems to be a miscommunication with the support team, who commented on my case last night to say "The AWS search issue has been resolved by our engineering team." When I got out of bed to check, I saw that was not the case. I really appreciate your willingness to answer, but we need better support too. Thank you!
Couldn't agree more, support needs to improve and it needs to happen quickely. Next to the outage there are so many bugs and support is responsing slow and with little knowledge.
If we can assure that the Status portal (Jive Software Status) is the definitive source for this information and updates then we will all be looking there first and support should be as well.
I'm not seeing alerts when that page is updated, even though I am subscribed. The notification process seems inconsistent from my side. Maybe Aurea can be more clear on WHAT triggers an update to be pushed to us? I'd much rather awake to a series of push alerts than thread updates for a specific issue like this.
UPDATE: Yes, I did receive a single Alert as shown below, but only late yesterday - it's not current. My comment here is that changes here to the Status page should be dynamically triggered to those of us following the page. What I see below looks like a manually compiled update done at a random snapshot time.
I also am not getting text or other updates from the status page on a regular basis, and have heard the same from other customers. I have communicated about this to my sales rep and others at Jive/Aurea. Current status says that Cloud Search is down all day today for emergency maintenance.
What does "all day" mean in a global context?
Why are there no other comms that have gone out on this?
I just found the disconnect here. The Status site is an external third-party app called StatusPage (Companies everywhere are powered by Statuspage | Statuspage ) used by cloud vendors and (I believe) has no connection to Aurea Support systems per-se. Atlassian, Slack and others seem to use the service as well.
David Sunderland - a great place for you to chime in here. It's tiring digging behind the curtain to see how these operational activities are connected/disconnected.
Sam Coe you have brought up some compelling points.
The status page https://status.jivesoftware.com/# is the source for updates regarding the web functionality of our products. This is a third party utility portal which as you pointed out that we use as well as others to list and broadcast update announcements.
The updates haven't been triggering alerts to those who have subscribed. I've sorted out the internal disconnect which resulted in only a few of the messages posted sending updates. As we post updates these should be broadcast to all subscribed channels. Please review your alert settings and your spam email folders if this is not the situation.
As Shai Sagi we have all our relevant staff focused and working on this situation to bring it to resolution.
Super - thanks for the prompt response and the explanation. We're all looking forward to seeing this one resolved.
Helpful to know. I just tried to review my settings, and don't see any option for that (using either of the Subscribe buttons). Can you or someone with familiarity of how the status page works explain how we can see and update our settings there?
I couldn't see an alerts setting option either. I added my phone number and email address again and it just indicated that I was already subscribed.
There doesn't seem to be a settings or alerts option anywhere I'm able to find. I tried to re-subscribe and was told I'm already subscribed, but I'm not getting any text alerts.
Hi all, please subscribe to the Jive Software Status page, you should be able to see the "Subscribe to updates" button on the top right corner, please click on it and add your email, following you should receive a confirmation email to to verify your email, once this step is done, you should start receiving the outage updates coming forward.
Thanks, Daniela. I guess what confused me is that I used to get text updates and that stopped happening. I saw David's suggestion to "review your alert settings" and thought there was a way to see what my settings were.
Thanks Tracy, I think he meant the email alert settings to double check in the spam folder as they might have been redirected there. Please subscribe to the alerts in Jive Software Status to receive our email alerts in this matter.
We will also continue to be informing thru this channels, our apologies for the inconveniences.
OK, but what if I don't want email alerts? What if I want to keep getting text alerts as that is easier to spot, especially after hours?
I will check on that Tracy.
Thanks for the assistance. I'm actually already subscribed to both email and text updates -- I tried to re-enter my phone number and was told I'm already subscribed -- but I'm not getting text alert.
Hi Oonagh McQuarrie Please subscribe to the Jive Software Status page, you should be able to see the "Subscribe to updates" button on the top right corner, please click on it and add your email, following you should receive a confirmation email to to verify your email, once this step is done, you should start receiving the outage updates coming forward.
Again, I'm already subscribed to the email updates and the text updates. My confusion is that I'm not receiving text updates, the email updates seem to be working.
Same here. I think there is something amiss with how the text messaging is working. Daniela - did you check to see if you received the text messages? My account manager confirmed that he did not receive them either.
Thank you all for your comments, We are aware of the notifications discrepancy with text messages and emails, our operations teams are working on resolving this now. Apologies for the delays on text message notifications.
As you've probably noticed, search is getting back up.
But in most cases you get your search results in a timely manner.
During the time we are running the maintenance procedure, we will continue to post update about the progress in the Jive status page until final resolution.
We again apologise for the inconvenience, we will publish an RCA within the next couple of days.
Hi Shai Sagi - Each notification on the maintenance progress is showing less than a percent completion and there seems to be couple hours in between messages. When do you expect this maintenance to be fully completed?
There are small increases, but we chose to have frequent updates.
In the meanwhile, the stability of search increase as the procedure continues.
I see the status page now shows Sunday EOB as an expected completion. A suggestion would be to include what EOB means. Without grounding it in a time zone, it is difficult to set appropriate expectations.
We have updated the Status Page with timezone and hour properly.
Thanks for passing that info along Shai - I now see it listed on the latest update as 0:00 PST. Great added context; except that actually translates to Sunday morning rather than Sunday night. Correct notation would be 23:59 PDT.
The maintenance process is now complete.

Multiple SIMs Phenomenon
Recent report by LIRNEasia, a research centre of IT and Telecom, shows that the multiple SIM ownership stands at 23% among Pakistani customers in Bottom of Pyramid (BOP) category. This means that the number of actual subscribers is likely to be 20% lower than reported numbers. Similar concern is focal point of a recent report by Dawn News.
Owing to this multiple-SIM phenomenon, the actual number of mobile phone subscribers in Pakistan is may be far less than 100.7 million (by October 2010) as declared by the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) recently. It would be useful to know the subscribers and the active SIM numbers.
Excerpt from the report follows below.
The section highlighted in blue are views of an official telecom operator with Dawn.
The section highlighted in green is the opinion of PTA official with Dawn.
The sections in bold shall be discussed below.
The mobile penetration stands at 60.4 per cent with a growth of 5.1 per cent this year. As the PTA is not maintaining the record of "inactive subscribers", it is difficult to know the `actual` number of cell-phone users in the country.
"Since a large number of subscribers have more than one SIM, their actual number in Pakistan is not more than 60 to 65 million," an official of a telecom operator said.
"We cannot have the exact count of mobile phone penetration unless someone — either the PTA or any other authority — starts maintaining the data of those having multiple SIMs," he said.
[1] Under the rules, a cellular operator can issue 10 SIMs to a subscriber having a computerised national identity card (CNIC). There are five operators in the country. [1]
[2] On the other hand, the customer ARPU (average revenue per user) looks deflated when the same revenue is divided by a larger customer base (100 million). ARPU is a measure used by cellular operators defined as the total revenue divided by the number of subscribers. "Current industry ARPU is just over Rs200, however, it is actually more than Rs360 which sends a negative message to the investors who see a low return on their investment," said a telecom analyst.
He said: "Ironically it has direct impact on PTA`s own efforts to attract further investment in the form of 3G licences. Showing inflated subscribers` base and low ARPU will in fact discourage investors." [2]
According to a PTA spokesman, there are no international norms to record multiple SIMs being used by the users therefore the PTA records no such data. With regard to "inactive subscriber data", he says it does not record any such data.
He says 100.1 million subscribers (Sept 2010) are based on the actual data received from the cellular operators. "The PTA issued a standard Active Subscriber Definition in November last year and all operators have undergone extensive data cleaning activity in this regard, which is still going on."
He further says since the implementation of active subscriber definition, the PTA believes all figures reported by the operators are based strictly on that.
[3] Its definition is: "A subscription has a valid balance. A subscription would be counted as `Active Subscription` if the subscription that is registered in the internal subscriber system of mobile service provider (i.e HLR) makes any revenue generating activity including Outgoing (Voice Calls, SMS, MMS), Incoming (Voices calls) and Others (Recharge activity, Roaming services, Data transmissions including GPRS/internet access, data transfers, receipt sessions), during last 90 days.
"In case of no activity the subscription would be counted off from the billing system regardless of the fact that the subscriber has a valid balance within prescribed timeline of the credit at IN." [3]
The spokesman says falling ARPUs is indeed a reality and the PTA is keeping a close watch on it. However, it is also a worldwide trend that ARPUs fall where penetration level rises, same is the case in Pakistan.
"Pakistan has 60 per cent cellular teledensity so far and there is still a lot of potential in the market to be tapped by the operators. Economy of scale plays vital role in low ARPU markets," he says.
[1] Following this rule, one CNIC holder gets 10 SIMs from an operator. With 5 operators he may get 50 SIMs. This number is a lot. To reduce the multiple SIM chaos, PTA must change this rule. It is fair to allow one CNIC holder 1 SIM from an operator or maximum 2.
[2] ARPU is recognized as the average revenue per user. Here, generally it is generally interpreted that users are actual subscribers. Where as the reality is that this ARPU calculation is based on SIMs not actual subscribers. The concern shared in this regard over its impact on the investment is justified.
[3] With this definition in place, we have seen the subscriber numbers fluctuating in reports. But PTA must enforce more strict record clean-up on operators. This can be done with help of automated record clean-up procedure in line with the aforementioned definition followed at the end of every month.

Azhar Mahmood Awan says:
Regarding investement in 3G technology, I beleive that PTA should look forward for other factors as well like local language internet content generation, import duty over PCs, laptops & other related accessories. But more important thing is the country's overall prevailing situation which directly proportionate with country piece and is the core responsibility of Government of Pakistan.
Gifts Pakistan says:
Bhai, I have seen many people who use more than 5 SIMS as well. Aap keh rahe hain only 2.
Arsalan Mir says:
Two or more, all count towards a multiple SIM use. It should be controlled.

My life is full of paradoxes. The last two years have opened my eyes in more ways than I could ever have imagined. God has used many people and places to enable me to see what He sees….to let me feel what He feels. To let me love whom He loves.
I sat in church last Sunday and my mind was racing. Then one thought ran across my brain that gave me pause. I am stuck between two worlds. Yes, I know that we as Christians are not of this world. We are aliens and strangers. We are to long for our heavenly home. Yet living that out here and now is a challenging adventure.
I feel a call to start school to work towards a degree in social work to fulfill dreams……but I also want to spend the time I have volunteering with organizations that I am already involved in. If there were only 36 hours in a day!
I want to teach my children to be grateful and thankful for what they have and make them aware of what others don't have….yet sometimes I know I end up making them feel guilty for what they have. Not my intentions…but I know it happens.
Some days I want to throw the tv out and be done with the filth and indoctrination it brings. Yet on a lot of nights, I love a good crime show.
Some Sundays I am so frustrated with 'church' and all of the struggles with it and other Sundays I look around and think "what would I do without these people?" and want to have a major group hug!
Being a Jesus follower and going against the flow of the world can mess with you at times.
Quite honestly, some days it is really hard knowing what really goes in certain parts of the world--knowing what really goes in our little area of the world.
Oh, God, speak…your daughter is listening….
sounds like my life a little...thankful for our online community!
I truly love your heart for heart for God and your way of putting life's "issues" so succinctly. You make me think and make me laugh & cry, and reading your blog really blesses me!
I know exactly what you mean about being "caught in the middle." Casting Crowns says it rather well: "Fearless warriors in a picket fence, reckless abandon wrapped in common sense, deep-water faith in the shallow end..."
Yet as long as we're open to listening, I know that God has ways of re-focusing our attention on Him. What an awesome God we serve!
What a beautiful expression of your heart. Thanks for sharing. I, too, feel this tug-of-war and am thankful there are others who toggle as I do!

Der Klopfsensor ist ein Bestandteil der elektronischen Klopfregelung in einem Verbrennungsmotor. Es ist ein  Körperschallsensor, dessen Signal mithilfe von elektronischen Filtern und einem digitalen Signalprozessor auf die für das Klopfen typischen hochfrequenten Schwingungsanteile untersucht wird. Einer oder mehrere dieser Sensoren sollen Detonationen in jedem Zylinder erkennen. In manchen Fällen kann dieses akustische Verfahren durch andere mechanische Einflüsse (Steinschlag, Kettenrasseln usw.) zu Fehlsignalen führen.

Grundlagen
Man kann den Klopfsensor als Ohr einer elektronischen Baugruppe sehen, das Motorschwingungen bzw. Vibrationen von Verbrennungsmotoren aufnimmt und sie als Eingangssignale in Form von elektrischer Spannung an das Motorsteuergerät liefert, das sie wiederum mit vorgegebenen Werten vergleicht. Registriert der Klopfsensor durch Klopfmessung mittels Diagnosegerät ein Klopfen des Motors, wird der Zündzeitpunkt automatisch in Richtung "spät" verstellt, bis keinerlei Klopfgeräusche mehr festgestellt werden. Danach wird der Zündzeitpunkt wieder schrittweise in Richtung "früh" verstellt, bis wieder Klopfen registriert wird. Ein früher Zündzeitpunkt führt zu einer besseren Ausnutzung der Verbrennungsenergie und damit zu erhöhter Leistung und einem besseren Wirkungsgrad des Motors. Der Motor wird durch diese Regelung permanent in der Nähe der sogenannten Klopfgrenze gehalten. So werden eine möglichst hohe Leistungsausbeute und damit eine optimale Betriebsweise des Motors bezüglich des Wirkungsgrades erreicht. Außerdem werden dadurch Schwankungen in der Kraftstoffqualität ausgeglichen und so Motorschäden verhindert.

Elektrotechnisch ist der Klopfsensor ein piezoelektrischer Sensor. Präzise handelt es sich dabei um ein Longitudinal-Element.

Ursachen für das Motorklopfen
Ursache für das so genannte Motorklopfen sind Selbstzündungen des Gemischs in Bereichen, die weit von der Zündkerze entfernt sind. Die Selbstzündungen treten vor allem auf, wenn Kraftstoff mit geringer Oktanzahl verwendet wird. Während der Verdichtung und nach der einsetzenden Verbrennung steigen die Temperatur und der Druck im Zylinder stark an. In Bereichen, die sehr spät von der regulären Verbrennung erfasst werden, dem sogenannten Endgasbereich, kommt es im verbleibenden Frischgemisch zu Vorreaktionen, die dazu führen, dass beim Überschreiten einer kritischen Temperaturschwelle dieses Gemisch spontan umgesetzt wird, bevor es von der eigentlichen Flamme erreicht wird. Im Gegensatz zur "normalen" deflagrativen Verbrennung spricht man dann von einer Detonation.

Moderne Ottomotoren neigen teils deshalb zum Klopfen, weil aus thermodynamischer Sicht ein hohes Verdichtungsverhältnis wünschenswert ist. Gängige Werte liegen hier bei 8,5:1 für aufgeladene Motoren, bei 10,5:1 für Saugmotoren mit Saugrohreinspritzung und bei bis zu 12:1 für Saugmotoren mit Direkteinspritzung. Durch die hohe Verdichtung ergeben sich auch hohe Spitzendrücke und -temperaturen, welche die oben beschriebenen Selbstzündungen begünstigen.

Speaking about a headache is something 9/10 people can relate to. Vascular headaches, tension headaches, or a mixture of both is usually the most common type experienced. Most of us try to treat it ourselves. When the self-medication approach fails, the desperate process of identifying the possible cause through eliminating the likely sources of the headaches normally starts.
Besides vascular and tension headaches, the other types of headaches consist of conditions that lead to inflammation, traction or dilation of pain-sensitive structures of the head and neck. Patients are often referred to optometrists to see whether a pair of spectacles can relieve some of the strain. No specific mechanism however exists in the eye itself that causes a headache, except in far-sighted people where there is a spasm of the muscle that focusses the lens.
Eye strain headaches have the characteristics of a mild tension headache, generally localised to the brow region. Squinting to try and see better and exposure to bright sunlight, may contribute to these symptoms.
A fixed posture and mental concentration combined with prolonged near point tasks also contribute to headaches, especially in computer users.
Headaches that occur with change in task demands may reflect stress related to intellectual demands. They are however often attributed to the use of the eyes.
Visual headaches always improve with rest.
Infrequent attacks of pain in the eye and short, stabbing pain behind the eye is relatively common – however, there is no known cause.
a brain tumour headache is usually dull, aching and intermittent, although it is continuous in some cases.
Always remember that a headache may be a symptom of a serious underlying condition calling for a diagnostic examination and treatment. These cases may require laboratory and radiographic studies and neurological consultation. Luckily not all headaches are caused by unknown medical conditions. Headaches can often be posture and positioning related and relooking your ergonomic setup at your workstation can often have "magical" results.

Q: Do multiple macro invocations initialize global structures once or multiple times? Let we have a proc-macro = true crate with one or several procedural macro in it.
Let this crate with macro has a lazy_static variable used by the macro.
Let another crate calls macro from the first crate multiple times.
Will the initialization of the lazy_static variable happen once or several times during compilation of the second crate?
In short, do multiple macro invocations initialize global structures once or multiple times?

A: There's no guarantee. In general, it will be initialized once, but incremental compilation and/or IDEs may break this. So don't rely on this.

Between maintaining customer accounts, managing employees, and just keeping the business on its feet, finding the time to handle your marketing can seem impossible. However, there are ways to put your business' name out there without spending hours agonizing over a full-fledged marketing campaign.
So, to help you out, we've put together a list of a few bite-sized marketing strategies you can employ over the course of a short lunch break. So sit down, open up the laptop, and don't forget to chew your food, because it's time for a marketing blitz.
Social media has quickly become a leading tool for marketers all over the world, and with good reason. Popular feeds on sites such as Twitter and Facebook can draw thousands of followers. However, in order to get those people to follow you and your company, you need to post stuff!
What kind of stuff? Any kind (within reason).
A Twitter tweet has a limit of 140 characters. Ten minutes is more than enough time to write a couple of short sentences about your company, what you're doing right now, or what you have planned. Hashtag your posts with relevant subjects to help followers find your content when it's most relevant to them.
If you don't have a Twitter account for your business, setting one up only takes a few minutes, and your first post can even be about how you just set up a Twitter account.
While you're on your Twitter and Facebook accounts for purely work-related reasons, you might as well see what others are saying about your company. Is your company trending? Is anyone saying anything about you at all?
Odds are, if your company has a following in your area, people are talking about you online. Seeing what others are saying about your company allows you to better plan your future marketing campaigns to address possible issues that people have. You can set up RSS feeds to help you find chatter about your company.
Organize a short list of customers whose transactions did not go so well. Whether it is a cancelled order, failure to pay, or simply a customer who reported a negative experience overall, it is important to learn from transactions that went wrong.
Read up on one or two of these transactions a day, and try to find out exactly what it was that went wrong. Were their expectations not in line with the product or service offer? Where did these unsatisfied customers come from? Did a specific ad lead them to your site, or something else?
As the famous saying goes: "Those who do not remember the past are doomed to repeat it." – George Santayana.
Learning what led to customer dissatisfaction in the past is key to improving future marketing. At the very least, it can help you to identify potential issues.
On the other hand, you can look at your best customers as well. Take a few minutes to compare some of your top clients and see what they have in common.
What was it that these customers liked about your company, product, or service? What led them to your company?
Many of your best customers probably have a few things in common, such as what they're looking for in your products/services, age, budget, or even hobbies/interests. Learning what your best customers have in common can be a huge help when you're trying to craft new marketing campaigns in the future.
Once you've researched your best and worst customer experiences, think up some new marketing campaigns that speak to the needs of your best customers, while avoiding or correcting issues that caused problems for some of your customers in the past.
Not every company can have a marketing department head, or a marketing department, but just because there might not be such a person or division in your company doesn't mean you can't ask for help. Before you create a whole ad campaign, take a couple of minutes to go over it with someone in your company who works with your customers and ask them for their opinion.
Chances are that if they've worked with your customers for a while, then they'll have valuable insights about what your customers will appreciate.
Reach out and talk to one of your customers directly. It doesn't have to be about their transaction, just drop a line and introduce yourself to people once in a while. You'll be surprised just how much you can improve your company's reputation by simply taking a few minutes out of the day to talk to customers and ask them how they're doing.
If the conversation does gravitate towards their experience with your company, try to find out what it is that the customer did or didn't like about their most recent transaction, or even your company as a whole. Customers like to know that their concerns are reaching you, so make yourself available once in a while.
Updating the signage in and around your business. For businesses that rely on foot traffic, the signs that you put up around your business are where potential customers will often get their first impression of your business. Ask yourself if your signs are making the right first impression with your customers. If your signs are outdated or are sending the wrong message, you'll want to make some exciting new signs to replace them.
Arranging a special event. Whether it's a big sale, a new store opening, or a live performance, holding some kind of spectacular event once in a while can really help drive awareness about your business. So make some banners and get ready for your next big event!
Get involved in the community. Volunteer some time to help others, and people will take notice. You don't have to spend vast amounts of money on donations to the local church or youth organization, just take a couple of hours during the week to help others. There is an endless need for help in the world, so go out there and make a difference. Not only will you build a positive reputation in the community, you may just find the work rewarding.
Preserve your positive press. Should you happen to get featured in the news, commemorate your articles and share them with your customers. Creating attractive displays of your featured news articles gives customers something interesting to read, and such articles serve as proof positive of your business' reliability and standing within the community. People like dealing with businesses that they can trust, and an article from a well-known publication is something that proves that your business is a positive, reliable, and trustworthy establishment.
For more tips about promoting your business, or for help preserving your favorite featured news articles, contact us or call 1 800 548 3993 today. In The News is here to help you commemorate and preserve your story so that you can share it with others for decades to come.

Our Theory: Our Theory
By JOHN KELMAN
The growing intersection of music and technology sometimes makes it difficult to know where one ends and the other begins. For those truly focusing on the arena rather than merely dabbling in it, that's exactly the point. Seamless integration is the goal, one that's achieved with considerable success on Our Theory. Samples, programming and post-production processing mix with organic grooves and strong improvisational acumen on a record that will appeal to fans of Norwegian nu-jazzers like Nils Petter Molvaer, Bugge Wesseltoft and Eivind Aarset.
The reason those Norwegians are so successful at what they do, is because beneath the processing, loops and sampling lies unequivocally strong musicianship. The same can be said for this group. New York-based Turkish expatriate Ilhan Ersahin may not be well-known, but he's a robust-toned saxophonist who spends more time contributing to the overall ambience of the project than he does muscular soloing. The same can be said for guitarist/keyboardist Thor Madsen, who is all about texture.
Swiss trumpeter Erik Truffaz has been building an ever-expanding audience for his guitar-centric Ladyland group and piano-based Quartet, both well-captured on Face-a- Face (Blue Note, 2006). Clearly coming from the Miles Davis electric school, he's nevertheless his own man, with energy, range and textural breadth that expands on the late trumpet icon's achievements as he assumes the position of dominant soloist here.
Bassist Matt Penman and drummer Jochen Rueckert have crossed paths before, though they're more often heard in more straight-ahead contexts. Here, they're a rhythm section capable of visceral grooves and, in the case of Rueckert, a polyrhythmic complexity that adds range without losing site of the fundamentals.
The disc emerged from two days of jams that were then shaped, over a longer period of time, into the ten pieces heard here. Much the way Karta (ECM, 2000) was taken from a longer improvisation and broken up into shorter pieces that give the appearance of greater up-front consideration, it's hard to know how much here is pastiche and how much is real-time collaboration.
But at the end of the day it doesn't really matter; what does is that Our Theory is a solid entry in the nu-jazz sphere, and proof that it's not just going on in Europe. Recorded in Manhattan and released on Ersahin's Nublu Records—named after his New York City club—Our Theory is evidence that music and technology are being successfully fused in North America as well.
Track Listing: Our Theory; Yeah, That's Right; Nu; My Sugar; Radio; Shades of You; Blow Up; Midsummer Sun; Let Me See You Tonight; Our Song.
Personnel: Ilhan Ersahin: saxophone, samples; Erik Truffaz: trumpet; Thor Madsen: guitar, keyboards, programming; Jochen Rueckert: drums; Matt Penman: bass; Anders Hentze: percussion (6, 7); Marla Turner: vocals (4).

Israeli forces kill 19 in Gaza
Israeli forces killed 19 Palestinians in a major raid on the Gaza Strip.
Troops backed by tanks stormed into eastern districts of Gaza City early Tuesday, touching off clashes with local gunmen.
Nineteen Palestinians, most of them armed Hamas members, were killed. Dozens more were wounded.
There were no Israeli casualties in the mission, which military officials said was intended to put pressure on Hamas and other Gazan terrorist groups, with a view to stemming cross-border rocket fire.
During the fighting, Hamas fired around 30 rockets at the Israeli town of Sderot, wounding four people.
Among the dead Palestinian gunmen was Husan Zahar, the son of a top Hamas leader, Mahmoud Zahar. Another Zahar son was killed in 2003 by an Israeli airstrike that wounded his father.
Mahmoud Zahar, a hard-liner even by the standards of an Islamist movement that preaches the Jewish state's destruction, blamed his second son's death on President Bush and the Western-backed Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.

Metal Active Gas (MAG) welding is highly flexible and adaptive, and is used when you wish to obtain high productivity and high quality results. This process is used for manual and semi-automatic welding or automated/robotized installations on low-alloy carbon steels or high-alloy stainless steels. MAG welding is widely used in shipbuilding, construction and the production of heavy plants and machinery.
Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding is commonly used for joining stainless steels, aluminum and aluminum alloys – enables a very high quality of welding to be achieved in particularly demanding sectors of application, such as pressure vessels and pipelines. The process uses an electric arc between the metals to be joined and an infusible tungsten-based electrode, located in the welding torch.

Q: How to delete all records from a table I want to clear all records from an excel table I created (The table is just a list of rows and columns which have been bordered). At the moment using the code below I am able to produce a little validation where one rows from 47 or higher can be deleted. But this only deletes one row at a time when I click a button:
Sub Clear1st()

Dim iRet1 As Integer
Dim iRet2 As Integer
Dim iRet3 As Integer
Dim strPrompt1 As String
Dim strPrompt2 As String
Dim strPrompt3 As String
Dim strTitle1 As String
Dim strTitle2 As String
Dim strTitle3 As String

    Application.ScreenUpdating = False

    ActiveSheet.Unprotect

    strPrompt1 = "Only rows 47 and higher may be cleared"
    strTitle1 = "Deletion Error"
    strPrompt2 = "Are you sure you want to clear all records?"
    strTitle2 = "Clear Records Confirmation"
    strPrompt3 = "There is no recods to clear."
    strTitle3 = "Data Missing"

    If Selection.Row <= 46 Then
    iRet1 = MsgBox(strPrompt1, vbOKOnly, strTitle1)
        If iRet1 = vbOKOnly Then
       Exit Sub
        End If
    End If

    If Application.CountA(ActiveCell.EntireRow) = 0 Then
        ElseIf Selection.Row < 47 Then
    iRet3 = MsgBox(strPrompt3, vbOKOnly, strTitle3)
        If Ret3 = vbOKOnly Then
       Exit Sub
        End If
    End If
    If Selection.Row >= 47 Then
    iRet2 = MsgBox(strPrompt2, vbYesNo, strTitle2)
        If iRet2 = vbNo Then
       Exit Sub
    Else
        If iRet2 = vbYes Then

    Selection.EntireRow.Delete

    End If
        End If
            End If

    ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True _
        , AllowFormattingCells:=True, AllowFormattingColumns:=True, _
        AllowFormattingRows:=True, AllowSorting:=True, AllowFiltering:=True, _
        AllowUsingPivotTables:=True

    Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

What my question is what I can't seem to figure out to do is that I want it to delete all records from the table when I click on the button.
So if the user clicks on the button, from rows 47 onwards between columns J-M, it will delete all rows. But how am I able to get it to delete all records at once? Like I said the table rows are just borders to make it look like rows (J2:M2) is where it grabs a bordered row,copies it and adds it to the table.
Here is a screenshot on what a table could look like (number of rows in a table varies but screenshot goes from 47 to 71):
http://www.dropviewer.com/v.php?i=527a891790213.png

A: Not sure if I completely understand the results you want, but replacing your Selection.EntireRow.Delete statement with something like this should help:
    With ActiveSheet
       Rows("47:" & .Rows.Count).Delete
    End With

How Conversational AI Chatbots help Improve Crisis and Disaster Response
by Suzie Linville
COVID-19 changed how we live and how businesses operate. Companies searched for solutions to fill in critical gaps in particular around digital solutions such as AI, workflow automation, and advanced analytics to continue operating in a smooth manner.
But how can conversational AI help businesses intelligently respond to disasters and crises? How can artificial intelligence be used to fight the impacts of COVID-19 and climate change? This is something IntelePeer wanted to help answer.
As a first-year sponsor of Call for Code, created by David Clark Cause and supported by Founding Partner IBM and Charitable Partner United Nations Human Rights, IntelePeer saw an opportunity, with our technology solutions, to help on a global scale. Whenever an unexpected event occurs, customer services teams can be overwhelmed fielding common questions around health information, test results, weather alerts, status of outages and more. By integrating a chatbot into your Call for Code solution to respond to frequently asked questions, you can advance the response time and accuracy in times of disasters and crises.
"At IntelePeer, one of our core tenets is to give back to the community," Adam Klodner, vice president, application development, at IntelePeer said during our IBM livestream. "Call for Code is a great way for users to creatively innovate and build out solutions that ultimately help businesses adapt during times of crises."
The 2020 Call for Code Global Challenge encourages and fosters the creation of practical applications built on open source software including Red Hat OpenShift, IBM Cloud, IBM Watson, IBM Blockchain, data from The Weather Company, and more. The goal is to employ technology in new ways that can make an immediate and lasting humanitarian impact in communities around the world. IntelePeer's voice, messaging, ready-to-use applications, open APIs, and advanced analytics can enable communications workflows to automate the response during natural disasters and/or COVID-19 crises while minimizing risks to health and safety.
IntelePeer's drag-and-drop visual designer, Atmosphere® SmartFlows, makes it possible to build omni-channel interactions on-the-fly.

Users can leverage built-in natural language processing, sentiment analysis, and tonality to create smarter interactions and take the guesswork out of understanding the user experience.
Whether it's a pandemic, hurricane or other natural disaster that threatens to disrupt our daily lives, having a way to quickly respond and disperse key information is critical. What can you design to help combat the effects of COVID-19 or climate change? Health screenings, symptom tracking, contract tracing, emergency alerts, and power outages… These are just a few of the limitless use cases that can be implemented to help the cause. We look forward to seeing what the Call for Code developer community can uncover.

Hue Jackson to sell 'The Cleanse' shirts for charity about Lake Erie plunge
| June 1, 2018
Hue Jackson will make himself a man of his word on Friday when he takes a plunge into Lake Erie at an undisclosed location. And the Cleveland Browns head coach deserves credit for turning the experience into a good way to raise money for charity.
Jackson's upcoming dip into the Great Lake was spawned by some chatter out of the coach following the Browns' 1-15 campaign in 2016, in which the coach guaranteed the team would not go 1-15 again … which the team did not. Instead, the Browns went 0-16.
Jackson conceivably could have used the loophole available to him — the Browns did not go 1-15, after all — but instead committed himself to taking a dip in Lake Erie, something he referred to as a "cleansing" earlier this week.
This is where Jackson's charitable efforts come into play. The coach already has promised to donate $100 for every Browns staffer who joins him in the plunge, which Browns ownership have vowed to match. Over 100 Browns employees have committed to take part.
And now, Jackson will sell t-shirts to raise money for charity.
The t-shirts, created by Where I'm From, sell for $29, and all proceeds will benefit the Hue Jackson Foundation to combat human trafficking in Northeast Ohio, via Cleveland.com.
In addition to the phrase "The Cleanse" — with the CLE set apart in orange — the graphic depicts FirstEnergy Stadium, the Cleveland skyline, and Cleveland, Ohio on the front.
The back features the Hue Jackson Foundation, the HJ logo of the foundation, and its mission: Supporting Efforts to Combat Human Trafficking in Cleveland.
Kudos to Jackson for turning the entire situation into something positive. What would be even better for Browns fans? If Jackson actually led to team to some wins — a lot more than one, let's say — in 2018.

REBNY 2016!
By Max Gross	January 20, 2016 9:00 am
As of last Friday afternoon, the Real Estate Board of New York's annual banquet promised to be your typical, run-of-the-mill, $1,100-per-plate affair starring 2,000 of the industry's heavy hitters against the backdrop of the Hilton's Grand Ballroom.
But as the day moved closer and closer to midnight, a lot of real estate pros looked on helplessly as the unthinkable happened: 421a negotiations broke down and the law granting tax breaks in exchange for affordable housing came to ignominious expiration despite full-throated defenses from the mayor, the governor and REBNY.
SEE ALSO: Sunday Summary: Big Boss Is Watching
For those of us who pay attention to REBNY's dealings, this should make the banter at Thursday night's banquet much more lively.
At Commercial Observer, we expect that this particular issue will dominate the conversation in the coming days and weeks. (See Tobias Salinger's story on page 66.) But, we have to say, it would be a little unfair to limit the discussion to 421a with the myriad of other issues that have occupied REBNY's time over the last 12 months.
2015 marked the end of an era for the 120-year-old trade organization when Steven Spinola stepped down as the president after 30 years and handed the reins to John Banks.
Mr. Banks—whom we spoke to with Rob Speyer, the chairman of REBNY (see Terence Cullen's interview)—was new to the job, but he has put the organization on a very ambitious road. REBNY is supporting Mayor Bill de Blasio's plan to cut greenhouse emissions 80 percent by the year 2050 (see Brady Dale's story); it is doing its part for landlords of the 95 properties citywide who are stuck in landmarking limbo (which Liam La Guerre reported on); it won a significant victory in the renewal of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, or TRIA (Bill Rudin discussed it with us in our Sit-Down with him); and it made significant revisions to the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act, or FIRPTA, in December (see Lauren Elkies Schram's story).
Hopefully, much of this will make its way into the chatter at the REBNY Board of Governors cocktail party to benefit the REBNY Foundation, as well as REBNY's 120th annual banquet, both on Thursday night. While it might be tough to hear the speeches over the din of real estate banter and networking, some of the luminaries of real estate will be getting honored. We, too, raise our glass to Daniel Brodsky, Edward Piccinich, Steven Marvin, the Stacom family, Bill Montana and Jeffrey Levine.
Keywords: 421a, 80 by 50, Daniel Brodsky, Darcy Stacom, Edward Piccinich, firpta, Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act, Jeffrey Levine, John Banks, Matthew Stacom, Mayor Bill de Blasio, REBNY 2016, Rob Speyer, steven marvin, Tara Stacom, Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, William Montana

Now if rhino murder were an event in the Commonwealth Games today that would be a statistic to be proud of. Sadly however, South Africa can claim no such glory.
A trust account has been specially set up for donations towards the Madikwe Collection Counter-Poaching Unit on Behalf of Madikwe Game Reserves Rhinos.
To assist in helping to raise awareness about the rhino poaching crisis in South Africa, some of our lodges in the Western Cape have specifically tailored packages allowing guests to participate in the Black Rhino Conservation Experience.

To the practical modern mind, the idea of divine prophecy is more ludicrous than sublime. Yet to our cultural forebears in ancient Greece and Rome, prophecy was anything but marginal; it was in fact the basic medium for recalling significant past events and expressing hopes for the future, and it offered assurance that divinities truly cared about mere mortals. Prophecy also served political ends, and it was often invoked to support or condemn an emperor's actions. In Prophets and Emperors, David Potter shows us how prophecy worked, how it could empower, and how the diverse inhabitants of the Roman Empire used it to make sense of their world.
This is a fascinating account of prophecy as a social, religious, and political phenomenon. The various systems of prophecy--including sacred books, oracles, astrological readings, interpretation of dreams, the sayings of holy men and women--come into sharp relief. Potter explores the use of prophecy as a nieans of historical analysis and political communication, and he describes it in the context of the ancient city. Finally, he traces the reformation of the prophetic tradition under the influence of Christianity in the fourth century.
Drawing on diverse evidence--from inscriptions and ancient prophetic books to Greek and Roman historians and the Bible--Potter has produced a study that will engage anyone interested in the religions of the ancient Mediterranean and in the history and politics of the Roman Empire.
