British cybersecurity expert tracked Maritimers kidnapped in Ghana

A British cybersecurity expert helped crack a kidnapping case involving two Canadian women -- one of them from Amherst -- armed with little more than three mobile phone numbers.
Gordon McKay, who has worked on several high-profile cases, was able to give police in Ghana, West Africa, vital information that led to the release of two University of New Brunswick students, Lauren Tilley and Bailey Chitty, earlier this year. Chitty grew up in Cumberland County, just outside Amherst, while Tilley is from Rothesay, N.B.
The women were abducted at gunpoint and held hostage for a week in June until McKay's international detective work helped free the women from their frightening ordeal and led to the arrest of their captors.
Bailey Chitty
Working from his home close to Winchester, Hampshire, in southern England, McKay was able to use high-tech cell phone information to pinpoint the location of three mobile phone handsets connected to the kidnapping. That helped police in Ghana rescue the women and bring the kidnappers to justice within just 24 hours of receiving the fresh intelligence.
He was not told by the African security services who the numbers belonged to, just that they were crucial to the case.
Tilley and Chitty were abducted at gunpoint in Kumasi, Ghana's second-largest town, on June 4.
Tilley, who was 20 at the time, and Chitty, 19, had been working with Youth Challenge International, an international development organization headquartered in Toronto.
Their kidnappers contacted their parents and demanded an $800,000 ransom.
The women were freed a week later and police in Kumasi later arrested five Ghanaians and three Nigerians.
But as the case of four alleged kidnappers has just gone before a court in Ghana's capital, Accra, what is only now emerging is the incredible high-tech and international tale of how the Canadian women were released.
Several days after the abduction, Ghanian security services contacted, through an intermediary, a British surveillance company called Butler Horn, headed by McKay, to see if they could help track down the women.
Lauren Tilley
In a desperate race against time, Butler Horn was directly approached to see if they could use the numbers of three mobile phones, provided to them by Ghanaian police, to help trace the women and their abductors.
The company was not even told who the phones belonged to, just that they were crucial to the case.
With just the three numbers and a map of local cell phone masts, the company set about their task.
Crucially, the details provided included what's known as the azimuth. That's is the obscure piece of information that helps reveal which cell phone tower the mobile phone last connected to and, crucially, roughly where that person was when they last used their device.
The Azimuth helps to narrow down to a small area, just where the person was when they were last on the phone.
The students were found because of the science behind the cell phone network.
Each phone tower has three cells, which on every tower, are located 120 degrees apart from each other. This 120-degree arc is known as the azimuth.
"If you know what cell the phone connected with, you know what direction the phone is to the cell tower," McKay said.
"Immediately, you are three times more accurate if you know the direction. You can estimate how far the phone is from the tower."
Armed with this information, the investigators were able to estimate where the gang and the two students were.
Each phone call made betrays where the user is at that moment.
When you turn your phone on, it looks for the strongest signal, usually the nearest cell tower. The phone also sends crucial information to the tower including the "International Mobile Subscriber Identity" or IMSI.
This 15-digit number uniquely identifies the user.
Through such things as the phone's reception level, an investigator will then also be able to determine how far or close to the tower the user was, as well as in which direction.
Although McKay knew the case related to an abduction, his company was only provided with the three phone numbers and little else.
But it was through their ability to trace where they were used, from thousands of kilometres away, just using the estimated co-ordinates of the phones that led to the kidnap gang's capture.
"We gave that information to our intermediary, who gave it to police and the women were found the day after," McKay said.
Other examples of firms using technology to locate missing people include the cybersecurity company NSO, currently being targeted overselling of software to government, which claimed to help authorities in Brazil and Mexico help find missing people following natural disasters.
In the Canadian case, the gang was captured the next day after receiving the cell phone information from Butler Horn. Some are now on trial.
A court in Accra heard at the end of last month that the kidnappers sent photos of the two Canadian women covered in chicken blood to their anxious parents.
The gang had used the blood to frighten the parents into paying up the ransom, the court heard.
Tilley and Chitty were abducted as they left a restaurant for their apartment. Both were blindfolded, tied and threatened with lives and guns, the court heard.
They were eventually rescued on June 11.
Four people have been charged with two counts of conspiracy to commit kidnapping and kidnapping. All have pleaded not guilty.
Another four people were arrested after the kidnapping but were later released.
The case is scheduled to come back to Accra High Court on Nov. 21.

Shenzhen moves government identification files online via blockchain technology
Written by Sun Henan Published on 11 Dec 2019
The platform will feature 24 types of commonly used licenses and e-certificates.
Shenzhen, the coastal city in China's southern Guangdong province, is taking a further stride to digitize its governmental services as it launches a blockchain-based platform for e-certificates, Chinese state media Xinhua reported.
The platform, accessible through a public services app developed by the municipality, will provide the digital format of 24 types of commonly used government certificates and identification including personal IDs. The app will enable immediate and online access of documents, saving the city's citizens from the hassle of carrying around a paper document when dealing with the local government in situations where a personal ID or a non-criminal record is required.
The service will also make it possible for a third-party to obtain and use the electronic copies under the authorization of the owner of the documents. The authorization can be fulfilled via scanning a QR code between the two parties.
This is not the first time that blockchain has been applied to public services in China.
China's Zhejiang province has launched a blockchain-based platform in June to streamline its healthcare system. People can access their invoices online after paying for their medicines or other healthcare services, which can be used for reimbursements.
KrASIA reported in March that Shenzhen's metro, taxis, and airport trains were integrated with an electronic invoicing blockchain system, built by Tencent, that is available within the WeChat app. Passengers who use WeChat to pay for rides and file invoices can see their reimbursement claims processed via blockchain. Users can also check the progress of their reimbursements and receive the funds online through WeChat.
With Singapore as a reference, Indonesia holds promise for cryptocurrencies

Why I've become Tory scum
By Tony Parsons 15 September 2015
As Labour elects Jeremy Corbyn, the most left wing leader in the party's recent history, Tony Parsons writes on the rise of the reluctant Conservatives
Like millions of others, I joined the ranks of reluctant Conservatives at the last election. To the haters on the left, I have sold my soul and turned to the dark side. And I'll do it again, because the left has nothing to offer.
Here comes the abuse...
I first realised that I was Tory scum on the weekend after the general election. The losing side was throwing a terrible tantrum. "F*** TORY SCUM", they sprayed on a Whitehall memorial dedicated to the women who fought in the Second World War. Well, that's me, I thought. They are definitely talking about me. Because whatever these people believe, I know that I will always be on the other side.
Like 11 million of my countrymen, I had voted Conservative because the alternative felt indistinguishable from national suicide.
This is what the pollsters got so terribly wrong - the general election was decided not by shy Tories but by us reluctant Conservatives. The millions like me who saw nothing but catastrophe in Labour's addiction to high taxes and big spending, their loathing of success, the way they could use a word like "mansion" with a straight face and, above all, that endless pious prattle about the NHS - as though the British have no other identity but as a sickly, enfeebled, diseased people in need of having our bottoms wiped by the state from dawn till dusk.
Red Ed, Fat Ed and all their unreconstructed comrades appalled me. But it was only when I saw that ugly graffiti sprayed on a memorial to women who gave their life for our freedom that I knew I would vote Conservative for the rest of my life. I looked at that graffiti - those three hateful little words - and felt an implacable opposition that will remain with me to my grave, something very like what they must have felt in Paris after mass murder had come to the offices of Charlie Hebdo. I knew, as the old Bowie song has it, that the shame was on the other side. And I thought, "Je suis Tory scum."
I like Ed Miliband. Whenever I have met him, I have found him to be an engaging and intelligent man. I don't think he's stupid. I don't think he's weird. I believe Miliband to be a well-intentioned man of principle who would have done to the British economy exactly what his socialist hero François Hollande has done to France.
Wreck it for a generation.
But none of that makes Ed a bad person. None of that makes him scum. So why are those of us who believe in a different economic model - one where aspiration is encouraged, where the state gets out of your way and doesn't spend money it doesn't have - morally reprehensible? Exactly why are we scum? History suggests that, when presented with the chance to vote for socialism the British people always run as fast as we can in the opposite direction. It doesn't make us bad people. But the left have lost the argument and are reduced to shrieking abuse.
Twitter - the frat house of left-wing piety - was incandescent in the aftermath of the general election. One popular image, widely shared, was of a deliveryman waiting outside 11 Downing Street with a trolley loaded with champagne. Oh, those wicked Tories! Swilling champagne while Martin Freeman rummages through a food bank! Tory scum! But the image was misleading because it dated from 9 September 2004, when Labour were in power and Gordon Brown, chancellor of the exchequer, had his big fat backside firmly planted in 11 Downing Street. "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it," proclaimed Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels. And the big lie of our time is that the liberal left is morally pure and the Tories are filth.
But I will vote Tory for the rest of my life because there will be nobody else to vote for. I grew up in a working-class Labour household, had the traditional loud left leanings in my young manhood, but that Labour party is receding into the mists of history, as relevant to our own time as the Whigs or the Monster Raving Loony Party. There is no Old Labour or New Labour any more; there is only Dead Labour - a 20th-century party who find themselves as pertinent as banana rationing.
For Labour, this was the Red Wedding of general elections.
Labour were obliterated by the SNP north of the border, run ragged by Ukip in the north of England and washed away by the Tories in the south. Labour will never come back from this defeat. I would bet my last euro that Labour will become little more than a debating society, endlessly preaching their pious certainties to each other. It will suit them. They will be much happier. They will keep their virtue intact and never have to make hard decisions in the real world.
Who cares who leads the Labour party next? Who cares what sound bites some mealy-mouthed "moderniser" is coached to make about "aspiration"? They will never again reach out to anyone but their dwindling core support. Dead Labour will get a warm glow when they remind each other how righteous they are, how morally superior to the wicked Tories. But the sanctimonious "progressives" who hate the Tories the most are always the party's greatest recruiting agents. Their shrill pieties make a much better case for Conservative government that David Cameron ever did.
Although the SNP may have annihilated Labour in Scotland, they drove England - where we have a sentimental attachment to democracy - into the arms of the Tory scum for generations. Every time the SNP's Nicola Sturgeon vowed, "We will lock David Cameron out of Number 10," she showed him where the key to the door was hidden.
It wasn't just the pollsters who got it wrong.
It was the celebrity circus of ageing love gods and socially concerned luvvies who told us the Tories were Satan's spawn. Billy Bragg. Bilbo Baggins. All the shrill keyboard comrades on Twitter.
It was the Guardian, sagely supporting Labour. And it was the BBC where, shortly before the general election, Andrew Marr wrongly accused David Cameron of "loving" fox hunting - TORY SCUM! - and later made a grovelling apology. "It turns out he never said it," choked Marr. The BBC today is about as representative of the British people as the men's toilets at theGuardian.
Fifteen million people voted for the Tories or Ukip - but how many of them work in Broadcasting House? My guess would be: none. But none of it mattered.
The heartland of our country turns out to be staunchly conservative with a very small "c", and more than ten million of us remained remarkably unmoved by a political party broadcast by Bilbo Baggins and earnest leaders in the Guardian. We didn't care what they thought. Eddie Izzard stood by Ed Miliband's side in Scotland and we did not care. In fact, they made Tory scum of us all.
How certain they were that Labour would get to play the SNP's bitch. How little they know of the people of this country. More than ten million of us elected an Old Etonian prime minister and a Conservative government because there truly seemed to be no viable alternative.
We are often judged to be beyond the age of great political loyalties, when voters supported one party for a lifetime, as though it was a football team. And perhaps it is true. For among the nearly 11 million who voted Conservative were millions of Tories who came in from the cold - those of us who voted for Ukip at the European elections, but backed the Tories on 7 May. This was hard on Ukip - who got twice as many votes as the SNP, but returned only one MP - but so much was at stake that nobody had the luxury of a protest vote. We became Tory scum for the sake of the nation.
Because if you wanted economic stability, if you desired the freedom to discuss immigration without being thought of as racist, xenophobic and not very nice, then there was no alternative. If you want dignity for your parents, a better life for your children and a country that is not cowed by the politics of spite and envy, then there was no other way. If the Jurassic socialism of the Eds sickened you, all that palpable loathing of success dressed up as moral superiority, then there was only one place to go.
And it is no bad thing to vote for a party without any great expectations that they will lead you to some bright, shining new dawn. Because they never do. That is why politicians who are swept to power on a wave of wild hope - from Tony Blair to Nick Clegg - always end up as despised figures who disappoint those who loved them the most. Clegg will never be forgiven by all the dippy Lib Dems for the betrayal on tuition fees and Blair - easily the most successful Labour Party leader in history - will always be loathed for his dirty little war in Iraq. Cameron will not break our hearts, because the millions who voted for him do not expect him to change our world. We just want him to do no harm. We see our country slowly emerging from the worst recession of our lifetimes and we don't want anyone to cock it up.
In his resignation speech, Ed Miliband declared that Labour may have lost the election but they "did not lose the argument". But of course Labour lost the argument - emphatically, comprehensively, totally. Presented with Miliband's vision of a socialist paradise, the British people reacted in exactly the same way they did when it was offered to them by Neil Kinnock and Michael Foot. They rejected it against all predictions. The left lost the argument and now they howl in the wilderness. "You rarely hear people saying they 'hate' the Labour party," wrote Dominic Sandbrook in the Daily Mail. "You certainly hear it about the Conservatives - or, as left-wing activists like to call them, 'Tory scum'."
Who are these people screaming "Tory scum"? Most seem to hail from academia or the creative arts and have a column or blog in the Guardian. They are certainly not the working class. Rod Liddle wrote in the Spectator, "According to the pollster Peter Kellner, Ukip's support base is 61 per cent working class - way more than Labour, the party set up to represent the working class... Labour will be left as a party of the affluent, secular, achingly liberal London middle classes - plus all those minorities who have not yet decided to vote Green."
A total of 11,334,576 people voted Conservative not because the Tories are cruel, stupid or evil. Those softly spoken millions were not brainwashed by the right-wing press. They know what they want and it is certainly not Fat Ed talking about "mansions". Get beyond the watering holes of the metropolitan elite and the heartland's deeply held values - my family, my work, my country - are the new mainstream.
The loud left are as pertinent to modern Britain as blacksmiths.
No wonder their protests are increasingly ugly. They react with furious disbelief at the result of a democratic election. They rave about balancing the nation's books as if it was like drowning kittens in a sack. They scream in our faces about their own compassion while bandying around epithets like "scum" and "filth" with the vicious abandon of Nazis talking about Jews.
So how are the Tories morally inferior to this shower?
The Conservatives now look like the natural party of government because only they seem to understand what our people believe. Hard work, a quiet patriotism, an instinctive self-reliance. And a future aspiring to more than having your bedpan changed by some saintly NHS nurse.
And every time I see another anti-austerity placard, or a Labour-loving hobbit, or defaced war memorial, I find myself warming to the pejorative the mob love to chuck around. I feel like wearing it as a badge of honour.
Tory scum. C'est moi.

For the last few months I've really just lost my touch with Audiotool. It's not that I haven't wanted to make music, it's just I haven't had any inspiration.
It may not be my best work, but it's a stepping stone along the way!
Let me know what you think! I really do want to hear what your opinions are!
Very themed, probably a villainous or evil tone to it. Otherwise even if it had no inspiration it was pretty well done.

The work of the Song Saa Foundation began when we first found the island in 2006 and created Cambodia's first ever marine reserve and started to support the remote communities of the Koh Rong Archipelago by providing access to health care and education. From the very beginning, our approach was to be a true triple bottom line business ensuring making money created a net positive impact on the environment and local communities where we work.
In 2011 we wanted to scale up the work we were doing as part of Song Saa Private Island by accessing institutional donor funding, bilateral aid and guest donations and the only way to do this was by having an independent legal entity registered as a Foundation with its own governance, board of directors, management team and to be truly separate from the business all while sharing the overall vision. Since we established the Song Saa Foundation we have worked with Prince Albert of Monaco and Flora and Fauna International to ramp up Cambodia's marine conservation. In partnership with the Asian Development Bank we have provided access to fresh, clean drinking water to thousands of villagers on Koh Rong and since 2013, International Medical Relief and Song Saa Foundation have brought 40 doctors and $1m USD worth of supplies each year to the Koh Rong Archipelago to bring otherwise inaccessible medical care to the island's inhabitants. The Foundation also has strong government relationships including an ongoing Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Environment.
The Foundation works hand in hand with the business to amplify our positive impact by leveraging the platform of the company's assets alongside its independence to raise funding and develop strategic partnerships for both environmental conservation and community support. It is this unique and pioneering model we are replicating in Banteay Srey for The Song Saa Reserve and we hope the Foundation's track record on Cambodia's coast gives you a glimpse of the impact we believe we'll have with The Song Saa Reserve.

TUESDAY, Nov. 15, 2016 (HealthDay News) -- Drinking may raise the risk of prostate cancer, and the more men drink the greater their risk, a new analysis of 27 studies suggests.
Canadian and Australian scientists found a significant association between alcohol and prostate cancer risk, though they did not prove that drinking caused prostate cancer risk to rise.
Even low levels of drinking (up to two drinks a day) were associated with an 8 to 23 percent higher risk of prostate cancer when compared to no drinking, the researchers said.
"This new study contributes to the strengthening evidence that alcohol consumption is a risk factor for prostate cancer. Alcohol's contribution to prostate cancer will need to be factored into future estimates of the global burden of disease," said study co-author Tim Stockwell in a University of Victoria news release. He is director of the university's Centre for Addictions Research of BC in Canada.
Study co-author Tanya Chikritzhs leads the Alcohol Policy Research Team at Australia's National Drug Research Institute. "These findings highlight the need for better methods in research on alcohol and health," she said. "Past and future studies that demonstrate protection from disease due to low-level drinking should be treated with caution."
Prostate cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer death in men worldwide.
Alcohol is a known risk factor for breast cancer and at least seven types of digestive system cancers, and alcohol may also increase the risk of cancers of the skin and pancreas, the researchers said.

Sunny beaches and ancient temples!
With brightly coloured houses, pastiches of colonial buildings, coupled with packed narrow streets gives Puri its own distinctive charm. The Jagannath Temple which dominates the skyline of the city is indeed one of the star attraction of the state. That aside, Puri boasts of some incredible shopping action that is centred around shops selling religious souvenirs and colourful pattachitra paintings.
The long stretch of coast, much cleaner towards the Eastern side, remains a major attraction for sunbathers and swimmers. Barring the pilgrims, that congregate in thousands during the famous Rath Yatra. Further Puri is also a popular holiday destination for Bengalis from Kolkata and backpackers from countries like Japan and China, who come here to explore the laid back charm of a town that likes to travel either on foot or on a bicycle.

Q: Oracle JDBC XMLType NoClassDefFoundError When I try to pass SQLXML object to Oracle stored procedure via JDBC in a Java 6 application running on Weblogic, I am getting the following error:

Cause: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError
Location: javax.servlet.ServletException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: oracle/xdb/XMLType
 java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: oracle/xdb/XMLType
       at oracle.jdbc.driver.PhysicalConnection.createSQLXML(PhysicalConnection.java:9724)
       at weblogic.jdbc.wrapper.Connection.createSQLXML(Connection.java:1034)

The relevant part of code:
    String sql = "{call " + procedureName + "(?)}";
    CallableStatement callableStatement = mOracleConnection.prepareCall(sql);
    SQLXML sqlxml = mOracleConnection.createSQLXML();
    DOMResult dr = new DOMResult();
    sqlxml.setResult(DOMResult.class);
    dr.setNode(parameter);
    callableStatement.setSQLXML(1, sqlxml);
    callableStatement.executeUpdate();
    callableStatement.close();

This article attributes the error to the missing xdb.jar.
I downloaded xdb6.jar from Oracle site and seemingly added it to CLASSPATH.
I also double-checked that oracle.xdb.XMLtype class file is present in the JAR.
I am still getting this error.
Any suggestions on further troubleshooting?
EDIT [11/19/15]:
I added Class.forName("oracle.xdb.XMLType") to test the explicit loading of the "missing" class. After adding xmlparserv2.jar into the mix, my test code worked fine, but I got the same exception in PhysicalConnection.
I am using a pooled connection, if it matters.

A: Assuming that oracle/xdb/XMLType is part of xdb.jar, you should ensure that this jar is part of your CLASSPATH or ensure that it is part of your WAR file.
In order to understand how the classloading is working and why it can not find your class, you could start your WLS instance with these debug flags:
-Dweblogic.utils.classloaders.GenericClassLoader.Verbose=true
-Dweblogic.utils.classloaders.ChangeAwareClassLoader.Verbose=true
-Dweblogic.utils.classloaders.ClasspathClassFinder=true

Economic performance remains strong, with higher job numbers and lower unemployment, as well as stable demand for commercial property and business activity levels. However, European migration to London (as measured by National Insurance number registrations) continues to fall, reflected by reports of skills shortages in some sectors.
In the second quarter of 2018, workforce jobs continued to increase to a total of 5.92 million – the highest jobs number since this time series started in 1996. There was an increase of 1.5 per cent on Q2 2017 – a slightly lower rate of growth than last quarter. However, this compares favourably to the rest of the UK, where job numbers grew by just 0.5 per cent over the year.Overall, the rate of job growth in London was faster in the ten years since the 2008 crash than in the ten years leading up to it.
Looking at sector breakdown, the real estate sector and the creative industries grew the most, at 17 per cent and 24 per cent respectively compared to the previous year. However, the quarterly increase in overall job numbers is entirely attributed to self-employment, as employee jobs fell by 11,000 while self-employed jobs increased by 24,000 between Q1 and Q2 2018. The number of self-employed jobs increased by 5 per cent year-on-year to June 2018 (to a total of 820,000, or 14 per cent of all jobs), while employee jobs increased by 1 per cent over the same period.
Unemployment in London continued to fall, to 4.7 per cent of the 16-64 aged population in July 2018, down from 5.2 per cent on the year previously. Though unemployment remains slightly higher than the UK average (4 per cent), the fall in unemployment continues to be steeper in London than the UK as a whole.
However, this needs to be balanced against an assessment of wages and earnings, which indicates that – despite overall growth in gross earnings – wages have fallen in real terms for those towards the lower earnings end. While London has median hourly pay rates 34 per cent higher than the UK, in certain sectors (manufacturing, wholesale and retail, administration, food and accommodation) the difference is negligible.
In the third quarter of 2018, Central London's property market maintained levels of demand, despite political and economic uncertainty. Take up of offices increased to 3.4 million square feet, with a corresponding decline in vacancy rates. Active demand was slightly lower than the previous quarter, but there were still enquiries for over 9.3 million square feet of office space.
Purchasing managers' indices (PMIs) measure business activity by surveying companies on output, new orders, employment and prices; a score above 50 shows an increase in activity from one month to the next. The higher the score, the quicker the expansion.
The NatWest / HIS Marit PMI shows London business activity stood at 54.3 in September 2018. The positive number indicates an expansion, but the index is unchanged on the average of the past 12 months, and almost on par with the UK as a whole.
National Insurance number (NINo) registrations by foreign nationals coming to London continue to fall, with 51,717 registrations in Q2 2018, a 12 per cent decline on the previous quarter. This is a result of fewer registrations by residents of European Union member states, declining 22 per cent on the year to Q2 2018. This continues a long-term downward trend in EU registrations, with a 36 per cent decline since Q2 2016, and a 50 per cent fall since 2014. Registrations from non-EU residents remained steady, but there continue to be fewer registrations from non-EU residents than EU.

Why Government Doubles Down on Policy Mistakes
The lack of lawmakers' willingness to admit fault for bad policy is concerning
Charles Blahous
Politics Public Choice Theory Government Spending Big Government Education Healthcare Social Security
Frustrated voters often wonder why, after electing well-intended lawmakers to office, so many subsequent government economic policies prove damaging. Part of the answer lies in the nearly irresistible public policy dynamic of "doubling down" on mistakes. Lawmakers, press and the public need to understand the strength of this phenomenon and guard against it when adopting policy positions.
In simplified form, the dynamic runs as follows:
1) Government, in response to a perceived need, takes action to meet that need in a manner that distorts economic behavior and produces predictable adverse effects.
2) The public consequently experiences problems and expresses concern.
3) The problems themselves become justification for additional government actions that worsen the distortions and the resultant problems.
4) As problems worsen, the public more urgently demands corrective actions.
5) Steps #3 and #4 are repeated ad infinitum.
We have seen and continue to see this dynamic operate in many areas of economic policy. To cite but a few:
Worker Health Benefits
With the best of intentions the federal government has long exempted worker compensation in the form of health benefits from income taxation. Lawmakers aren't scaling back the flawed policy that fuels these problems.There is wide consensus among economists that the results of this policy have been highly deleterious. As I have written previously, this tax exclusion "depresses wages, it drives up health spending, it's regressive, and it makes it harder for people with enduring health conditions to change jobs or enter the individual insurance market." Lawmakers have reacted not by scaling back the flawed policy that fuels these problems, but rather by trying to shield Americans from the resulting health care cost increases. This has been done through the enactment of additional health programs and policies that further distort health markets and which themselves drive personal and government health spending still higher.
Federal Health Programs
The federal government has enacted programs such as Medicare and Medicaid to protect vulnerable seniors and poor Americans from ruinous health care costs.
The positive benefits of these programs co-exist with well-documented adverse effects. For example, it is firmly established that creating these programs pushed up national health spending, driving health costs higher for Americans as a whole. Consumer displeasure over these health cost increases subsequently became a rationale for still more government health spending, rather than reducing government's contribution to the problem. Examples of this doubling down include the health exchange subsidies established under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), as well as its further expansion of Medicaid. As the problem of high health care costs remains, proposals have proliferated to expand government's role still further; for example, some have proposed making Medicare available to the entire US population. Though intended to provide relief, such legislation inevitably adds to national health spending growth.
The cost of higher education has become an increasingly salient policy/political issue. In an effort to broaden access to education, government has subsidized its cost with a heavy emphasis on grants and loans to students and their families. It is now fairly well understood that these subsidies have had the predictable effect of increasing tuition costs. Students and their families regularly complain about having to choose between footing a massive education bill, or taking out student loans that create crushing levels of indebtedness. Many politicians have reacted to these trends not by reconsidering the policies that give rise to them, but by proposing dramatic further expansions of government education subsidies.
Social Security collects payroll taxes from workers and provides monetary benefits to retirees, surviving family members and the disabled. Savings rates among Americans of modest incomes are undesirably low.It operates as an income transfer program rather than by building retirement savings. Because of this, whenever its benefits and tax burdens are expanded, Americans' abilities and incentives to save for retirement are reduced. This phenomenon is most pronounced with low-income, liquidity-constrained workers who, after program expansions in the 1970s, were promised Social Security benefits equaling a very high percentage of their earnings, while at the same time were left with very little surplus earnings to put aside while working. There is general agreement among economists both that Social Security depresses other saving and that savings rates among Americans of modest incomes are undesirably low. Paradoxically, however, many advocates cite these low savings rates as a reason to further expand Social Security.
As these and countless other examples reveal, whenever government policies create or exacerbate adverse economic effects, the political focus often turns to relieving the consequent hardship rather than addressing its policy causes. The resulting relief is often short-lived because the remedial legislation has usually failed to correct the underlying problem and often has made it worse.
The ACA
The ACA threatens to repeatedly be such a case. It is complex legislation with far-reaching consequences both positive and negative, offering many opportunities to double down on its more problematic policy choices. Lawmakers should resist trying to repair its problematic provisions by expanding them. Here are two examples of where the temptation is likely to be faced:
1) Fixing the ACA's work disincentives. Experts ranging from economist Casey Mulligan to those at the Congressional Budget Office have substantiated that the ACA is driving many workers out of the work force at a time when we can least afford it. A primary culprit is the design of its health exchange subsidies, which are skewed so heavily toward the lowest-income individuals that anything they earn subjects them to a substantial loss of federal support. To see the double down instinct at work, read for example columnist Catherine Rampell, who acknowledges the work incentive problem under current federal laws, but then argues the answer lies in expanding the ACA's various subsidies (which are themselves ample work disincentives, and expansion of which would worsen the ACA's troubled finances.)
2) Fixing the ACA's effects on health insurance premiums. The ACA effectuated many requirements that are causing health insurance premiums to rise. Combined with this problem are many horizontal inequities arising from the law's complexities. For example, individuals with identical incomes receive different levels of support depending on whether they get insurance through exchanges or through their employer. As I noted in 2012, this creates enormous temptation for the federal government to provide relief from premium increases by expanding subsidies to those buying insurance outside the ACA's exchanges. Doubling down in this manner would considerably worsen the ACA's rising price tag.
With the ACA specifically and with economic policy in general, it is vitally important that lawmakers understand the doubling-down trap and use their awareness to avoid it. If an economic distortion is created or exacerbated by government policy, the best first response is to look squarely at the policy that has caused the problem, and consider whether it needs to be tweaked, redesigned, scaled back or even eliminated. When instead we focus only on alleviating the hardship caused by flawed government policies, too often we perpetuate those very policy flaws while allowing the hardship to re-emerge again and again.

We had a GREAT time at our annual Harvest Party! Several of our members and their families gathered at our Country Church Property to enjoy some food, fun, and fellowship! The night was complete with several games, bounce houses, a hayride, and a bonfire. Thank you to everyone that attended and made preparations for this special event!


My ex husband is suing me for child support. He and the children reside in Florida. My residence is in NJ.
I do not have the money for a lawyer. How do I go about responding to the documents I received from the courts.
In the documents provided, it gave me a one page copy of his financial affidavit. I simply do not know what to do.
Florida family law forms for pro se (self-represented) litigants can be found on the Florida Supreme Court's website at www.flcourts.org.
If the form you were served with is a Supplemental Petition to Modify, you can answer with the approved Answer to Supplemental Petition form 12.903(e).
However, I just looked at that site, and there is no form posted for an answer to a Petition for Child Support. Since there is no exact form, what you could do is create your own document.
In and For _______ County, Florida.
The case number, and the parties remains the same. If you are shown as the Respondent, then you remain the Respondent throughout the proceedings.
If his document is titled "Petition for Child Support" you would need to title yours "Answer to Petition for Child Support". Then go through his Petition item by item and answer each one. You can Affirm if you agree with the statement; or you can Deny if you disagree.
You don't have to add anything else.
If you want to Affirm in part; and Deny in part; you can do that, and then offer a minimal explanation of what you agree with in his statement and what you disagree with.
Then just finish it off at the end just like he did. Send a copy to him or his attorney if he has one AND the clerk of court. You also need to file a Financial Affidavit.
I'm not sure why his is only one page long, because the short form is longer than one page. If you earn less than $50,000. per year you need to file Florida Family Law Financial Affidavit (short form) 12.902(b).
Then you need to complete the Child Support Guidelines Worksheet, form 12.902(e). It is cumbersome, somewhat confusing, but extremely important.
This worksheet can only be completed by using information form the financial affidavits of both parties. If you can, you should do it yourself, don't leave it to him or the judge. You want to know what you are up against.
Alternatively, you can use our Petition Preparer service to have all your documents professionally prepared. Just ask us for a free quote.

Chinese scientists build anti-satellite weapon that can cause explosion inside exhaust: South China Morning Post
A team of Chinese military researchers say they have built and tested an anti-satellite robotic device that can place a small pack of explosives into a probe's exhaust nozzle.
Rather than blowing the satellite into pieces, the melt-cast explosive can produce a "time-controlled, steady explosion", Professor Sun Yunzhong and colleagues from the Hunan Defence Industry Polytechnic in Xiangtan wrote in a paper published in the domestic journal Electronic Technology & Software Engineering last month. The device could stay inside the satellite for an extended period by using a locking mechanism driven by an electric motor. If needed, the process can be reversed to separate it from the target.
