Telco takes Potraz to court over licence fees
Internet access provider Telco and Potraz are embroiled in a license dispute that is threatening to spill over into the courts after Telco dragged the licencing authority to the High Court. The company is seeking an order declaring that the fees sought by POTRAZ are unreasonable under the Postal andTelecomunications Regulations. A second order being sought by the company is that the first responded publishes the licenses of all the other internet access providers.
This development comes at a time when Potraz has announced that revenue in the telecoms sector has declined by 11 % to $237, 7 million. The slump in the economy has affected consumption patterns in the economy.
Telco is challenging the decision by POTRAZ to cancel their license after the internet provider failed to raise the $5, 5 million fees stipulated by law. Telco has proposed a payment plan to clear the license arrears which has been rejected by Potraz.
The internet access provider argues that the $5.5 million fees stipulated by the law are unreasonable and unsustainable in the prevailing economic conditions.
Meanwhile Potraz have filed a notice to contest the action arguing that the applicant (Telco) , have not yet exhausted the internal remedies to seek redress as provided for by the law.
The telecoms sector has been hit by the current economic slump affecting the entire country making operations of telecoms company more difficult. Hundreds of people are expected to lose their jobs if the internet access providers lose the case.

Thank you JcMagpie. I have tried what you mention above but still get an "Invalid login attempt" warning after creating the new administrator account. I don't see any hashes in the admin/.htaccess file to remove....Am I maybe missing something?
Urgent request! I am unable to access to admin side of my website (which means no new products or processing orders!). I have tried forcing a reset by emptying the administrators table but it does not register the new username created, only the hash for the password. When I try to edit the database to include the username with the hash it is still showing as "invalid login attempt".
I have new products that need to be added for my employer tonight....PLEASE HELP!
Customer and product specific promo code?
Sorry if this is covered in another post, put couldn't find specifically what I need. I need to be able to offer a promo code to specific customers that is only good for a specific set of products. This would need to be a non-transferable code if possible.
Is there an add in out there that can do this?
Customers are having a problem with the login page. Sometimes they are taken directly to it when they come to the site, without getting to browse the rest of the site, and get stuck in a login page loop. They can create an account, but it takes them back to the login page.
This only seems to happen with IE7 or AOL, but doesn't happen all the time. Has anyone else had this kind of problem? Is it IE & AOL or bad code somewhere?
I am going to bump this because I am having the same issues with a client site and we are starting to lose customers. Can anyone out there give us an answer? This would seem to be a major glitch!
When I ran the sql in phpMyAdmin, it didn't find any records as written. I had to remove the "Where" clause to get any results. I am not sure if the rest of the contrib will work if I remove that portion of code though since there are attributes attached to the where conditions.
I have just finished installing this contrib and I think I may have missed something. Everything seems to look fine in admin, but it isn't pulling up any of my customers from the customer table. How do I get the customer names to show in the left drop down so I can add them to blacklist?
I am considering installing the WPP Direct and Express payments contrib but am concerned that it may not work well with the this contribution since I already have guest account installed. I know that it supposedly does not work with PWA...has anyone installed both of these contributions together?
I have tried everything I can think of and looked in all the forums for similar issues and cannot find what the problem is.
Any suggestions would be great! Could this be because I am using the download controller contrib?
Is there somewhere that I can get these images?

Dangerous Ideas: Academic Justice or Academic Freedom?
Academic freedom — the freedom to propose, pursue, and research dangerous ideas — is not something to be feared.
(United States Department of Energy, Public Domain)
Back in 2006, the website Edge.org asked over 100 scientists, doctors, philosophers, and other intellectuals "What is your dangerous idea?", i.e., "an idea you think about… that is dangerous not because it is assumed to be false, but because it might be true?" The responses ran the gamut, touching on cosmology, psychology, the environment, and media violence (to name a few).
David M. Buss proposed that "all of us contain within our large brains adaptations whose functions are to commit despicable atrocities against our fellow humans." Marcelo Gleiser wondered if science isn't just a narrative we tell ourselves as opposed to something universally true. Several contributors sent in variations on the idea that we are ultimately alone in a purposeless universe. Daniel Goleman suggested that the Internet "inadvertently undermines the quality of human interaction." And not surprisingly, Sam Harris wrote that science must destroy religion.
One particularly troubling idea was proposed by biologist J. Craig Venter, who wrote that the more we research human genetics, the more we'll begin to see that we are not all created equal.
It will inevitably be revealed that there are strong genetic components associated with most aspects of what we attribute to human existence including personality subtypes, language capabilities, mechanical abilities, intelligence, sexual activities and preferences, intuitive thinking, quality of memory, will power, temperament, athletic abilities, etc. We will find unique manifestations of human activity linked to genetics associated with isolated and/or inbred populations.
The danger in Venter's idea of a "realistic biology of humankind" should be readily apparent. Indeed, we've already seen such danger manifest itself in the racially based eugenics programs of the early 20th century, which reached their zenith in Nazi Germany's attempts to bring about a "pure" Aryan nation while getting rid of "sub-human" individuals.
Concern regarding the dangers that such an idea poses to society seems to be at the core of Sandra Y. L. Korn's February 18 editorial in The Harvard Crimson in which she challenges the concept of academic freedom, i.e., the idea that academics "are entitled to full freedom in research and in the publication of the results," regardless of how offensive, troubling, or dangerous those results may be.
Korn expresses confusion by such a principle when she writes, "If our university community opposes racism, sexism, and heterosexism, why should we put up with research that counters our goals simply in the name of 'academic freedom'?" Instead of pursuing "academic freedom," she proposes that "when an academic community observes research promoting or justifying oppression, it should ensure that this research does not continue." She calls this approach "academic justice" and sees it as an opportunity for "students, faculty, and workers organizing together to make our universities look as we want them to do."
Not surprisingly, Korn's editorial has been met with considerable criticism. Her concept of "academic justice" seems admirable at first. After all, who doesn't want to promote justice? However, it's nigh-impossible to ignore the Orwellian "thought police"-esque connotations of her own dangerous idea to try and contain (potentially) dangerous ideas. Who, or what, decides what is "just" or not, and by what standard? How does this approach prevent academic research from becoming politicized and agenda-driven? And, more importantly, has such an approach ever been successful, historically speaking, in suppressing dangerous ideas?
That being said, some of the criticism has been a bit unfair in its vitriol and snark. Though Korn doesn't explicitly write about this, underlying her piece is the notion that ideas are not ethereal entities completely objective and cut off from reality. Ideas, even those discussed in the loftiest of ivory towers, have real-world consequences. They trickle down from labs and classrooms and eventually filter into the culture at large. Sometimes the effects are minimal, but they may also effect a great sea change — and that sea change may not necessarily be positive.
But there also seems to be a certain defeatism in Korn's piece. Are we really helpless in light of such disturbing revelations? Is oppression the inevitable outcome? Let's suppose, for just a moment, that Venter is right and that human genetics research discovers incontestable evidence that different ethnic groups have different levels of "personality subtypes, language capabilities, mechanical abilities, intelligence" and so on. Obviously, such knowledge could be used to promote and justify oppression. (It has in the past.) Based on her editorial, it seems reasonable to assume that Korn would be opposed to such research because of the evil that it might lead to. And yet, if that is the reality, then it does us no good to stick our heads in the sand and pretend otherwise. It is what it is. It would be unwise and unfair to pretend otherwise.
However, only the most reductionistic would believe that because intelligence, athletic abilities, etc., are hard-wired into our DNA, the only logical response is to define our treatment of people by such a discovery. For Christians, our treatment of our fellow persons ought to be rooted in their bearing of God's image, not their DNA. But even if you don't believe in God, Garrett M. Lam writes in his response to Korn's article that
[S]cience can do many things, but it can't justify oppression. After all, science tells us the way things are. It tells us what is natural. But just because things are a certain way does not mean they ought to be that way. And just because something is natural does not mean that it is good or right or just. If we believe people should be treated equally, an institution that treats them unequally opposes our values. But even if it were true that people are born with unequal capacities, this would not imply that we should treat them unequally.
Indeed, Venter's dangerous and uncomfortable idea confronts us about what a just society truly looks like. Will it be based on that which is only "skin deep," that which is revealed by microscopes and test tubes? Or will we, as a society, dig deeper, pushing past quantifiable realities (important as they may be) to seek out a standard for justice and equality that is deeper and more universal? Such a challenge is impossible without dangerous ideas pushing us.
Academic freedom — the freedom to propose and pursue dangerous ideas — is not something to be feared. True, the process can be frightening and disturbing. The results can challenge long-held notions about reality. But to shut down and silence those dangerous ideas (and those suggesting them) because we don't like what they say, or because the truths they reveal run counter to our agenda? That's even more frightening and disturbing. It is only by understanding, considering, and researching such "dangerous" ideas — only by facing them head on — that we can understand them, and by understanding them, discover how best to confront the uncomfortable truths that they may reveal.

The winning entry is designed to look like a Monopoly board but will feature Toms River landmarks and people.
TOMS RIVER It's official: Toms River High School North's Nautical Star Theatre Company has won $10,000 to build a Halloween parade float based on a Monopoly board.
"TRopoly: A Game Steeped in Tradition," was the winning entry in the Engage Toms River Halloween Parade Challenge. Entries in the contest had to show why the township is a great place to live, work and play.
The contest was sponsored by the Jay and Linda Grunin Foundation and the Greater Toms River Chamber of Commerce.
The Nautical Star Theatre Company will receive a $5,000 materials budget and up to 160 hours of help from the Toms River Artist Community (TRAC) to help build the float. TRAC will receive a $5,000 donation from the foundation for their members' time and expertise.
The winning float design is modeled after a Monopoly game board, and spots on the board will be decided by the community through an online voting system. Voting continues through Oct. 11.
The spots could include local charities, businesses, inspiring teachers, community leaders and businesses or groups that work to further the arts in Toms River.
"We looked at a Monopoly board and thought, 'How can we turn an iconic board game into a reality, rich with tradition,' " said Alec Addalia of High School North, chief float designer for the theater company.
The township's three high schools have spaces on the board, along with Ocean County College, the Ocean County Library, the courthouse and Cattus Island Park.

The 1889 Calgary municipal election was scheduled for January 7, 1889 to elect a Mayor and six Councillors to sit on the fifth Calgary Town Council from January 21, 1889 to January 20, 1890.

Acclamation were declared in all seats upon close of nominations on December 31, 1888 so no election was held. The Calgary Weekly Herald praised the acclamation as evidence the town has reached a point where "citizens can bring themselves to forget past differences and rise superior to those bitter factional prejudices which have prevailed in the past" Prior to nominations for the election a group of local businessmen proposed a slate of candidates at a public meeting, and spread word that the candidates should not be challenged.

Results

Mayor

Councillors

When you join us on a whale watch tour on Maui, breaching is one of the common actions you're likely to see. Breaching is when a whale throws its entire body out of the water. It's an awesome to sight to witness, to be sure. But why do humpback whales breach?
Until recently, most whale experts believed there wasn't one reason. It's kind of like asking, why do humans run? We run for play, exercise, to escape danger, etc. Among the reasons scientists believed whales breached were for communication, a way to warn others of impending danger, as a way to stun prey, and as a sort of mating ritual competition between males.
However, in November, 2016, an article titled "Evidence for the functions of surface-active behaviors in humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae)" was published in the Marine Mammal Science journal. The authors of the study concluded, with some certainty, the main reason for breaching (and tail/pectoral slapping) is communication.
Simply put in human terms, an acoustic sound like a drum travels further than the voice, which is why cultures once beat on drums to communicate from village to village. So while whales can sing beautifully, in order to contact other whales further away, they need to beat on the water to get the message out.
As for the other reasons whales breach, while those listed above may be partially true, it never fully made sense to scientists why whales breached in Hawaii. While the humpbacks do mate here, they don't eat. That's right, they fast the entire time they're in Hawaii. They also don't have any natural predators here. So breaching to stun their prey or warn of danger seems dubious, at best. Especially when you consider how much energy a whale expends to throw 30 tons of body out of the water while they are fasting.
So next time you see a humpback whale leaping out of the ocean or slapping its fins, it isn't just for show. They're probably communicating with other whales miles away.
Climb aboard for a whale watch tour that will fund marine science research!

I come from the silt-rich and alluvial river-bottom miles between Hartford. Ct and Springfield, Ma.
I'm giving away the Kindle version of Smuggler this weekend, Fri., Sat., Sun., because it occurs to me lately how important it is to have insightful readers to propagate works of literature. As a poet you are compensated by an image of yourself toiling away in saintly obscurity after some alchemical notion … but prose announces itself differently; it's supposed to be read—rather than locked away in a spell book in a dresser drawer.
I guess I've been writing since grade school. I have a folder with lots of little stories accompanied by crayon illustrations next two a folder with lots of earnest high-school essays, next to a folder with lots of eager, error-filled undergraduate writing, next to another folder of graduate essays and poetry, next to another folder, and so on.
One has moments of validation—a successful poem, image, idea—followed by inevitable self-doubts … so that one is always eager to make oneself worthy again of being called a writer.
I didn't like what other people were writing about me. The only thing those people are interested in is justifying themselves. This is the problem of the conventional wisdom, which is every writer's sworn enemy.
I would like your readers to know that everything I wrote was a matter of life and death. I'm not fu*king around.


Notes: Today's game marks the fourth time in five district games the Bulldogs will be playing in Midland. The only time the Bulldogs haven't played at Zachery Field was Tuesday's game at Christensen Stadium against rival Lee. MHS, though, will play five of its last seven games on the road. ... Sean Grebeck will start today's game against Abilene Cooper, which will be the first time he has started in district play. Grebeck has made two relief appearances and has not allowed a run in two innings. He picked up a save on Tuesday. Lance White started last Saturday's game against Odessa High. "Sean is kind of deserving because he's been pitching pretty well," Midland High coach Barry Russell said. "If we should be lucky enough to get into the playoffs, we are going to need that third guy. (Sean) needs to start a little bit." ... Cooper is in third spot in the district after Tuesday's win against Odessa High. Austin Smith had three RBI and Tyler Jenkins had a two-run home run in the victory.

Alcohol use biggest risk factor for dementia:Study
Mon 26 Feb 2018, 16:16:40
Alcohol use disorders are the most important preventable risk factors for the onset of all types of dementia, especially early-onset dementia. This according to a nationwide observational study, published in The Lancet Public Health journal, of over one million adults diagnosed with dementia in France.
This study looked specifically at the effect of alcohol use disorders, and included people who had been diagnosed with mental and behavioural disorders or chronic diseases that were attributable to chronic harmful use of alcohol.
Of the 57,000 cases of early-onset dementia (before the age of 65), the majority (57%) were related to chronic heavy drinking.
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines chronic heavy drinking as consuming more than 60 grams pure alcohol on average per day for men (4-5 Canadian standard drinks) and 40 grams (about 3 standard drinks) per day for women.
As a result of the strong association found in this study, the authors suggest that screening, brief interventions for heavy drinking, and treatment for alcohol use disorders should be implemented to reduce the alcohol-attributable burden of dementia.
"The findings indicate that heavy drinking and alcohol use disorders are the most important risk factors for dementia, and especially important for those types of dementia which start before age 65, and which lead to premature deaths," says study co-author and Director of the CAMH Institute for Mental Health Policy Research Dr. Jürgen Rehm. "Alcohol-induced brain damage and dementia are preventable, and known-effective preventive and policy measures can make a dent into premature dementia deaths."
Dr. Rehm points out that on average, alcohol use disorders shorten life expectancy by more than 20 years, and dementia is one of the leading causes of death for these people.
For early-onset dementia, there was a significant gender split. While the overall majority of dementia patients were women, almost two-thirds of all early-onset dementia patients (64.9%) were men.
Alcohol use disorders were also associated with all other independent risk factors for dementia onset, such as tobacco smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, lower education, depression, and hearing loss, among modifiable risk factors. It suggests that alcohol use disorders may contribute in many ways to the risk of dementia.
"As a geriatric psychiatrist, I frequently see the effects of alcohol use disorder on dementia, when unfortunately alcohol treatment interventions may be too late to improve cognition," says CAMH Vice-President of Research Dr. Bruce Pollock. "Screening for and reduction of problem drinking, and treatment for alcohol use disorders need to start much earlier in primary care." The authors also noted that only the most severe cases of alcohol use disorder -- ones involving hospitalization -- were included in the study. This could mean that, because of ongoing stigma regarding the reporting of alcohol-use disorders, the association between chronic heavy drinking and dementia may be even stronger.

Ebonyi Govt Seals Abakaliki Rice Mill
Obinna Ogbonnaya
The Ebonyi State government, yesterday, announced the immediate sealing off of the popular Abakaliki Rice Mill following the alleged distribution and sell of adulterated and poisonous rice in the state.
The special assistant to the state governor on Internal Security, Kenneth Ugbala stated this at the State Executive Council Chambers while briefing Journalists on the outcome of the council's meeting.
According to him the decision to close down the rice mill followed intelligence report from the Ministry of Environment that adulterated and poisonous rice was discovered at the market which was being sold to unsuspecting members of the public.
He said the rice was discovered to be poisonous forcing the state government to close down the market till further notice.
The special adviser said the market would be reopened after investigations to discover and clear the market of such adulterated rice.
Commissioner for Commerce and Industry, Mrs Ugo Nnachi at the briefing said the council also terminated the procedure for the disbursement of the SME loans, which was being handled by Bank of Industry.

Kenny in opposition was marching with "de workers" so they could get their 15% salary increase.
Stephenson King said there was no money.
Kenny in government is now saying they need to tighten belts.
Why was he such a dishonest kunt previously? This is partially a rod for his back, of his own making. Productivity in the public sector in StLU is awful. You could sack 30% easily and no one would notice.
What a hippocrite! What a scamp! What a snake oil salesman!
The same person who bankrupted the country by raising the national debt by a staggering $1.5 billion while crashing agriculture, internal security and the standard of living - the same person who aggressively agitated for increases increases in civil servants pay - is now the scamp acting like the prudent manager cutting costs and doing the opposite of what he said while in opposition.
These are all the traits of a sick narcissist and he is a product of our country voted in three times by st lucians. We are who we vote for!
The ethic standard of politicians need a radical change.
Is there any politician who truly put country first ???
Take this blasted government to court. It is illegal for the government to unilaterally cut the salaries of public servants, whether or not the Public Services Commission is a stool pigeon for the government. Take them to court.
1:51pm go check the privy council ruling in the Barbados case. Govt can cut. My question to all above, should we do nothing?
Cut salaries? Or cut jobs? Which? Both? Can someone cite the case or ruling where the privy council gave its blessings to the Barbados government to cut salaries of workers. Can someone quote the year in which that did happen?
If the government is seeking consensus post facto after its budget presentation, what we have is a fait accompli. There was apparently little consultation on the matter beforehand. If the government has the license say, from employing the coercive arm of the state, the legal system to force its will, why now go through charade of asking for a "consensus"? Who are the fools who wish to be so manipulated? Finally, what constitutes a "consensus"? Is it 100%, 80%, 66% or 51% meekly towing the line? It is more than time for a paralyzing CSA strike, especially in the revenue collecting agencies. Some union leaders, no doubt, have already been bought. But, this administration is really taking the people down the garden path.

Q: How to set autoFocus for fluent UI Dropdown control I want to set up autoFocus for fluent UI dropdown control there is the property for TextField as autoFocus and we can set it as true or false. but there is no such property for Dropdown control.
So is there any way to set a focus for dropdown control?
Thanks in Advance.

A: To begin, it's not obvious when a <Dropdown> is focused. So, I suggest adding this style to your .scss file for debugging purposes:
:global {
  *:focus, div:focus, span:focus{
    border: green 3px !important;
    box-shadow: 0 0 0 2px #f90 !important;
  }
}

Example of a focused Dropdown:

Assuming you are using class components. In your class component that adds Dropdown, add the _dropdown variable right after the class definition:
export default class SAMPLE_CLASS extends React.Component<SAMPLE_CLASSProps>  {
  private _dropdown = React.createRef<IDropdown>();

In the same component, find your Dropdown and add the componentRef property, pointing to your _dropdown variable:
<Dropdown
   label="Site LOB"
   componentRef = {this._dropdown}
   ...
/>

Now that you have the reference to the dropdown, you can set focus to in either componentDidMount or componentDidUpdate:
public componentDidMount(){
  this._dropdown.current.focus();
}

// Try this if you need to focus after each update
public componentDidUpdate(){
  this._dropdown.current.focus();
}

Development and Validation of the Abstinence Motivation Scale
Natalie Johnson, Brigham Young University - ProvoFollow
The purpose of this study was to design the Abstinence Motivation Scale-Sex (AMS-Sex), a scale to assess adolescent motivations for sexual abstinence using the self-determination theory (SDT) motivation continuum as a framework. Previous sexual abstinence research, SDT measurement studies, pilot study data, and expert panel feedback were used to develop the initial 77-item AMS-Sex. The sample consisted of 695 adolescents (aged 15 to 18; M age = 16.49, SD = 1.08; 50.8% male) recruited online from the across the U.S. Participants completed an online survey. The sample was randomly split into two samples. Independent samples t-tests indicated that sample 1 (N = 351; M age = 16.53, SD = 1.09; 48% male) and sample 2 (N = 344; M age = 16.46, SD = 1.07; 51% male) did not significantly differ by age, gender, parent education, annual household income, sexual behavior, or social desirability. Sample 1 data was used to assess scale reliabilities and run exploratory factor analyses (EFA) to examine the factor structure of the 77-item AMS-Sex. The 77-item AMS-Sex had good internal consistency (α = .99), as did the four subscales. As anticipated, the EFA resulted in a four-factor structure. However, these factors did not represent the anticipated SDT motivation types. Rather, the autonomous motivation items loaded on a single factor; the controlled motivation items loaded onto three factors by source or reference (i.e., parents, peers/others, and self). A second EFA was examined, constraining the model to two factors (i.e., controlled, autonomous). The 77 AMS-Sex items were reduced to a final 24-item AMS-Sex measure with six items per motivation type through a rigorous process using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) with modification indices and information from CFA loadings, item means, standard deviations, skewness, correlations with social desirability, EFA loadings, and item wording and clarity. Sample 2 was then used to validate the final 24-item AMS-Sex using CFA and structural equation modeling (SEM). CFA was used to assess the four-factor, three-factor, and two-factor models. Model fit indices indicated that the four-factor and three-factor models had acceptable model fit, but the two-factor model did not. SEM was used to assess the relationships between the factors (i.e., types of motivation) and age, gender, social desirability, and sexual behavior for the four-factor, three-factor, and two-factor models. The SEM models indicated that older teens tended to be less motivated towards abstinence; girls were more motivated towards abstinence than boys; and sexual behavior was negatively correlated with all four motivation types, but more strongly with the autonomous motivations; and, in general, autonomous motivations were negative predictors of sexual behavior, while controlled motivations positively predicted sexual behavior. EFAs with the final 24 items were assessed, resulting in a three-factor solution: external, introjected, and autonomous motivations.

See how Serbia compares to another country using any of the measures in the Index.
Read more about Serbia Economy. See more from the 2022 Index.
Serbia's economic freedom score is 65.2, making its economy the 59th freest in the 2022 Index. Serbia is ranked 35th among 45 countries in the Europe region, and its overall score is below the regional average but above the world average.
Over the past half-decade, Serbia has enjoyed modest economic growth in every year except 2020. A five-year trend of generally expanding economic freedom has solidified the country's position among the "Moderately Free" countries. Boosted by higher scores for fiscal health and judicial effectiveness, Serbia has recorded an impressive 6.3-point overall gain of economic freedom since 2017. Monetary freedom and trade freedom are improving, but government integrity is far too feeble for an aspiring member of the European Union.
IMPACT OF COVID-19: As of December 1, 2021, 11,744 deaths had been attributed to the pandemic in Serbia, and the government's response to the crisis ranked 111th among the countries included in this Index in terms of its stringency. The economy contracted by 1.0 percent in 2020.
Read more about Serbia Economy.
Independent since the collapse of Yugoslavia in 1991, Serbia applied for membership in the European Union in 2009. A 2013 agreement normalized relations between Serbia and Kosovo. President Aleksandar Vucic's center-right Progressive Party won three-quarters of the seats in parliament in June 2020 elections that were boycotted by the opposition, further cementing his hold on nearly every lever of power. Serbia cannot become a member of the EU without additional reforms, stronger rule of law, and improved relations with regional neighbors. Serbia has strong energy, historical, and political ties to Russia in addition to expanding links with China. Serbia's largely market-based economy relies on manufacturing and exports, and state-owned companies remain a significant presence in certain sectors.
Serbia has an adequate body of laws for the protection of property rights, but enforcement through the judicial system can be very slow. Obtaining clear title to land is difficult and uncertain. Enforcement of contracts is weak. The judiciary is inefficient and subject to undue political influence. Corruption remains a serious problem, especially in public procurement, natural resource extraction, and government-owned property.
The top individual income tax rate is 10 percent, and the corporate tax rate is a flat 15 percent. Other taxes include value-added and property taxes. The overall tax burden equals 24.1 percent of total domestic income. Government spending has amounted to 43.8 percent of total output (GDP) over the past three years, and budget deficits have averaged 2.2 percent of GDP. Public debt is equivalent to 58.4 percent of GDP.
A slow bureaucracy, competition from money-losing state-owned enterprises, and nominally independent regulatory agencies that bow to political pressure are concerns for businesses. A Staff Leasing Law that went into effect in 2020 governs how much of a company's workforce can be hired with fixed-term contracts through an agency. The government announced its intention to privatize 20 of Serbia's remaining 78 state-owned enterprises by the end of 2021.
Serbia has seven preferential trade agreements in force. The trade-weighted average tariff rate is 6.5 percent, and nontariff barriers undercut overall trade freedom. Serbia is not a member of the World Trade Organization. Most sectors are open to foreign investment, but the lack of transparency deters more dynamic investment growth. The banking sector has been expanding, although the level of financial intermediation remains relatively low.

Q: Closing questions with suspicious requests
Possible Duplicate:
Policy regarding questions related to unethical or "shady" practices

I often see questions on SO with very... suspicious requests. Most common are requests for methods of screen scraping (potential copyright infringement), or methods that could be used to intercept someone else's data or otherwise cultivate an exploit.
Is there any guidance on when to vote to close questions that, while structured and well asked, have a suspiciously 'ominous intent'? Perhaps this should be a new close reason?
Obviously it's difficult to presuppose a user's intention regarding a coding request, but should the community merely accept any on-topic question without a deeper consideration of its motives? Is there any moderation framework or existing discussion for this?
This is not a duplicate, as the previous (OLD) discussion along these lines did not moot a new close-reason, and the previous discussion suggested as a duplicate may not reflect current community thinking on the subject.


For those coming to New Zealand, Whangarei is approximately 150kms north of Auckland and has excellent marine facilities and haulout services. With Emotion 2 being 9 metres wide, we can strongly recommend Norsand Boatyard for hauling out any sized boats and all services once you are on the hard. After finally reaching Auckland and seeing friends and family we were keen to get Emotion 2 out of the water and do some repairs and maintenance.

The Walker Cup Match began in the wake of World War I with a view toward stimulating golf interest on both sides of the Atlantic. The Match grew in part out of two international matches between the USA and Canada, in 1919 and 1920.
At the same time, British and American amateurs considered each nation's national amateur championship a great plum. Meanwhile, the USGA Executive Committee had been invited to Great Britain for a series of meetings with the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews Rules Committee. The meeting was to look at the advisability of modifying various rules of the game. Among the participants was George Herbert Walker, USGA president in 1920.
Upon the Executive Committee's return to the United States of America, international team matches were discussed. The idea so appealed to Walker that he soon presented a plan and offered to donate a trophy. When the press dubbed the trophy the Walker Cup, the name stuck.
In 1921, the USGA invited all golfing nations to send teams to compete in the Match, but no country was able to accept that year. The Americans stuck to their mission, however, and William C. Fownes, the 1910 U.S. Amateur champion, who had twice assembled the amateur teams that played against Canada, rounded up a third team in the spring of 1921 and took it to England. At Hoylake, the American team defeated a British team, 9-3, in an informal match the day before the British Amateur.
Early in 1922, The R&A announced that it would send a team to compete for the Walker Cup at the National Golf Links of America, Walker's home club, in Southampton, N.Y.
Originally, the competition was open to any country that might care to challenge. The USGA invited all countries to compete. Except for Great Britain, however, no other country was able to accept. The Walker Cup was contested in 1922, 1923 and 1924 and then biennially ever since, with a nine-year hiatus between 1938 and 1947 for World War II.
Until recent years, the USA clearly dominated the series, but the number of American victories never clouded the true purpose of the Walker Cup Match. A much higher value has been placed upon the series as a medium of international friendship and understanding between The R&A and the USGA.
Many Walker Cup alumni for both teams have gone to have tremendous professional success, including Jack Nicklaus, Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Graeme McDowell, Justin Rose, Colin Montgomerie, Davis Love III, Rickie Fowler, Webb Simpson, Jordan Spieth and Padraig Harrington.

eagerly looking forward to the coming of the day of God, by reason of which the heavens, all ablaze, will be destroyed, and the elements will melt in the fierce heat?
Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom."
Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly await the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
"Where is the promise of His coming?" they will ask. "Ever since our fathers fell asleep, everything continues as it has from the beginning of creation."
And by that same word, the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
Strong's Greek 4328: To expect, wait for, await, think, anticipate. From pros and dokeuo; to anticipate; by implication, to await.
Strong's Greek 4692: To hasten, urge on, desire earnestly. Probably strengthened from pous; to 'speed', i.e. Urge on; by implication, to await eagerly.
Strong's Greek 3952: From the present participle of pareimi; a being near, i.e. Advent; physically, aspect.
Strong's Greek 4448: From pur; to kindle, i.e. to be ignited, glow, be refined, or to be inflamed.
Strong's Greek 4747: Neuter of a presumed derivative of the base of stoicheo; something orderly in arrangement, i.e. a serial constituent, proposition.
Strong's Greek 5080: To make liquid; pass: I melt (away). Apparently a primary verb; to liquefy.
Strong's Greek 2741: To burn with great heat. From kausis; to set on fire.
(12) Hasting unto.--There is no "unto" in the Greek. The margin is probably right, hasting the coming--i.e., hastening Christ's coming by holy lives, by helping to make the Gospel known to all nations (Matthew 24:14), so as to "accomplish the number of the elect," and by praying "Thy kingdom come." (Comp. 2Timothy 4:8; Revelation 22:20.) The thought is singularly parallel to St. Peter's speech in Solomon's Porch (Acts 3:19-21, where see Notes); and as the thought is striking and unusual--perhaps nowhere else in the New Testament distinctly--this coincidence may fairly be admitted as a note of genuineness.
The coming of the day of God.--A phrase which occurs here only. It is doubly remarkable: (1) "coming," in the special sense indicated by the particular word used in the Greek, is elsewhere used of Christ Himself, not of the day; (2) "the day of God" is a very unusual expression.
Wherein.--Rather, by reason of which, either "the day" or "the coming" being meant.
Shall melt.--"Melt" is here correct, being quite a different word from that rendered "melt" in 2Peter 3:10, which is the same as that here translated "be dissolved." In the so-called Second Epistle of Clement (chap. 16) we have a somewhat similar passage--"The day of judgment cometh even now as a burning oven (Malachi 4:1), and [the powers] of the heavens shall melt, and all the earth as lead melting on the fire."
Verse 12. - Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God. The preposition "unto" is inserted without authority. The second participle σπεύδοντας is followed directly by the accusative, and is evidently transitive. In the Septuagint Version of Isaiah 16:5, σπεύδων δικαιοσύνην represents the "hasting righteousness" of our translation (comp. Pindar, 'Isthm.,' 5:22, where σπεύδειν ἀρετάν means "to pursue virtue"). Here the translation "hastening" is most appropriate. The Father hath put the times and seasons in his own power; but as the long-suffering of God waited in the days of Noah, so now he is "long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish;" and in his gracious mercy waits for the repentance of his chosen. St. Peter seems to represent Christians as "hastening the coming [literally, 'presence'] of the day of God" by working out their own salvation, and helping to spread the knowledge of the gospel (Matthew 24:14), and so rendering the long-suffering patience of God no longer necessary. The words imply also the duty of praying for that coming, as we do in the second petition of the Lord's Prayer, and in the Funeral Service, "Beseeching thee, that it may please thee, of thy gracious goodness, shortly to accomplish the number of thine elect, and to hasten thy kingdom." Compare St. Peter's speech in Acts 3, where he says, "Repent ye therefore... that so (ὅπως ἄν) there may come seasons of refreshing from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ" (verses 19, 20, Revised Version). This remarkable coincidence of thought furnishes an argument of considerable weight in favour of the genuineness of this Epistle. Another possible rendering of the word is "earnestly desiring," which is adopted in the text of the Revised Version, and is preferred by some commentators. Wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved. The Greek for "wherein" is δἰ,' ἥν, on account of which, i.e., on account of the day of God, or, what comes to much the same meaning, on account of the coming, the presence, of that day. Old things must pass away because of the coming of the day of God; the old order must give place to new. And the elements shall melt with fervent heat. The apostle repeats the striking words which he had already used in verse 10, with a different verb. The Greek word for "shall melt" here is not λυθήσεται, as in verse 10, but a stronger word τήκεται, are being melted, or wasted away. The tense is the prophetic present, implying a certain fulfillment. There is probably a reference to Isaiah 34:4, where the Septuagint rendering is Καὶ τακήσονται πᾶσαι αἱ δυνάμεις τῶν οὐρανῶν.
3:11-18 From the doctrine of Christ's second coming, we are exhorted to purity and godliness. This is the effect of real knowledge. Very exact and universal holiness is enjoined, not resting in any low measure or degree. True Christians look for new heavens and a new earth; freed from the vanity to which things present are subject, and the sin they are polluted with. Those only who are clothed with the righteousness of Christ, and sanctified by the Holy Ghost, shall be admitted to dwell in this holy place. He is faithful, who has promised. Those, whose sins are pardoned, and their peace made with God, are the only safe and happy people; therefore follow after peace, and that with all men; follow after holiness as well as peace. Never expect to be found at that day of God in peace, if you are lazy and idle in this your day, in which we must finish the work given us to do. Only the diligent Christian will be the happy Christian in the day of the Lord. Our Lord will suddenly come to us, or shortly call us to him; and shall he find us idle? Learn to make a right use of the patience of our Lord, who as yet delays his coming. Proud, carnal, and corrupt men, seek to wrest some things into a seeming agreement with their wicked doctrines. But this is no reason why St. Paul's epistles, or any other part of the Scriptures, should be laid aside; for men, left to themselves, pervert every gift of God. Then let us seek to have our minds prepared for receiving things hard to be understood, by putting in practice things which are more easy to be understood. But there must be self-denial and suspicion of ourselves, and submission to the authority of Christ Jesus, before we can heartily receive all the truths of the gospel, therefore we are in great danger of rejecting the truth. And whatever opinions and thoughts of men are not according to the law of God, and warranted by it, the believer disclaims and abhors. Those who are led away by error, fall from their own stedfastness. And that we may avoid being led away, we must seek to grow in all grace, in faith, and virtue, and knowledge. Labour to know Christ more clearly, and more fully; to know him so as to be more like him, and to love him better. This is the knowledge of Christ, which the apostle Paul reached after, and desired to attain; and those who taste this effect of the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, will, upon receiving such grace from him, give thanks and praise him, and join in ascribing glory to him now, in the full assurance of doing the same hereafter, for ever.

Comprised of 10 self-contained villages, this planned community resides outside of the Baltimore and Washington D.C. areas. As the safest city in the U.S., Columbia can thank its creator, James W. Rouse, who envisioned a city that rejected religious, class, and racial segregation and focused on human value over economics.
WalletHub gave it a fourth-place ranking in terms of home and community safety. Rouse's vision seems to have worked; Money magazine has consistently rated Columbia as a "Best Place to Live." Actor Edward Norton, fashion designer Christian Siriano, and astronaut Terry Virts grew up in Columbia.


Even though Ben and I have lived in our condo for almost 3 full years, we're still chiseling away at fully furnishing and decorating each room. In winter, it's too cold to open up the windows and do major home projects, and in summer, it's too nice outside to stay inside to do home projects — so furnishing, decorating, or renovating usually aren't a priority!
This summer, though, I'm actually determined to put a bigger dent in our home projects. Ben is going back to school for his doctorate in the fall, and I really hope each room will be as complete as can be — with complete workspaces for both of us, and permanent furniture in every room.
Today, I've put together some inspiration for our guest bedroom — odds and ends I have in mind for the room that doubles as my office and our guest bedroom. It has to be cozy and welcoming for guests, while still being open and bright enough for me to use as an office in between. I'm super excited to finish this room!
My Pinterest board has a lot of pins that show the overall 'mood' I hope the guest bedroom has. This bedroom from Zevy Joy, pictured below, is bright, airy, and modern — yet cozy! Our guest bedroom is newly-painted white, so it's like a blank canvas to work from, which makes my designer heart happy!
Items we already have: I have a headboard like this one as well as this desk and this chair.
Items I'm excitedly waiting for: These nightstands in white, and these wooden floating shelves.
Items I'd love to use: Lamps like these, a mirror like this one — or a painting like this one for the wall above the bed.

BAE Systems Rolls Out First Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle
20.12.2016 North America
BAE Systems rolled out the first prototype Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV) to the U.S. Army during a ceremony at the company's York, Pennsylvania facility.
The AMPV provides the Army with enhanced mobility, survivability, force protection, and combat superiority.
"The AMPV prototype vehicles are the result of a highly collaborative relationship between the Army and our industry team. Through this relationship, we have been able to design a vehicle that provides a modern, robust solution that meets the needs of today's soldier and of the future force," said Beach Day, Program Director for AMPV at BAE Systems Combat Vehicles.
The AMPV is a fully modern, highly flexible vehicle that includes five variants and is designed to replace the Vietnam War-era M113 family of vehicles. It is a mature, cost-effective solution that leverages proven Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle and M109A7 Self-Propelled Howitzer designs. It meets the Army's force protection and all-terrain mobility requirements that enable the AMPV to maneuver with the rest of the Armored Brigade Combat Team (ABCT). Maximizing commonality within the ABCT reduces developmental risk and provides significant cost savings to the Army.
In December 2014, BAE Systems was awarded a contract worth up to $1.2 billion from the Army for the Engineering, Manufacturing, and Development (EMD) and Low-Rate Initial Production (LRIP) phases of the AMPV program. The initial award of $383 million, under the EMD phase, is for development and production of 29 vehicles across all of the variants: general purpose, mission command, mortar carrier, medical evacuation, and medical treatment.
The ceremony commemorated the rollout of the first of the general purpose variant. Deliveries of the prototype vehicles will continue into 2017, and developmental testing will run through 2018.

Having a bad posture is a very serious problem that you should never ignore because if you do, you will only have greater problems. There are a lot of things that can cause you to have a bad posture, usually bad posture is coming from your workplace. Especially people that are working in offices all day long and just sitting at a desk. That is because the majority of people don't know how to sit properly. When you are sitting the wrong way for a long period of time like at a workplace for 8 hours straight every day, you will start experiencing some problems and pain. Everything that is happening is usually because of your bad posture and it can be prevented easily. Here are some of the things that a bad posture can cause.
This is probably the most common problem that people with bad posture have because they usually tilt their head in a bad way for a long time. This problem happens when you are sitting in the office and looking at the computer screen for a long time, you don't even realize in what position your head is. Because of that, your neck will start hurting and you will be in a lot of pain. People with neck pains usually think that the pain is from their sleeping habits, however, the problem is their posture. The muscles in the neck get stiff and contracted in one position for the entire day and you don't feel any pain. When you get a good night of sleep, those muscles relax and when you wake up you feel a bad pain coming from your neck.
Pain in your entire spine or back can be caused by bad posture, however, the lower back pain is the most common pain that people are experiencing that is caused by bad posture. This pain can be very serious and you can even experience pain levels that will make you stay in bed for few months. The best way to get rid of this pain is to visit a professional chiropractor that will relieve your pain in just a few sessions.
