Thank you for your gracious response. Each of the points contained in your reply seems correct.
Just to clarify, I was not suggesting that you had mistranslated the quia clause, but that your assertion and exegesis had suggested a arcane or profound significance to it as pertaining to the whole cited selection (furthermore, the phrase "whole sentence", given the punctuation, could be taken to include "Similiter .. parentem"). In all, I think your argument would be tighter if you simply omitted Soissons.
I look forward to reading your future posts. God bless!
This was a very interesting piece; thank you for publishing it.
There are three gratuitous assertions here that are not clearly supported by the text: (1) "because" must necessarily apply to the whole sense of the sentence. Why? This is not always the case and there is nothing here in the Latin (either syntactically or semantically) that requires such an interpretation. (2) The circumstance of the canon is not clearly about marriages that have taken place: in fact, the contrary is true. This is why the first sentences are present tense general injunctions (i.e., no one can marry a nun or his mother). (3) "What they are clearly concerned about…" you haven't demonstrated this or provided a contextual citation that makes this manifest.
Again, I think this was a very insightful piece. I don't know if you drew these sources together on your own, but if you did, kudos! In short, however, I think the section regarding the Council of Soissons was mangled.
Thank you for your blog. God bless!
Hi PatriciusPulcher. Thank you very much for your comment. I always appreciate any feedback I receive on my blog, especially that which involves discussing the Latin. My language skills are quite limited, so I am always worried that I have mistranslated something. I drew most of these canons from the secondary literature that I had consulted. All I did here was mostly just gather the primary sources, translate them, and ad an element of my own commentary in conjunction with the scholarly literature. I will respond you your points in order.
1.) "quia" serves as a conjunction, so on that account it has to be linking to another clause. "quia maritus mulierem suam non debet dimittere" cannot stand alone. The only two options for its other clause are either the "nec…nec" sequence or "excepta causa fornicationis deprehensa." It cannot be the exception clause because it lacks a main verb, although one could argue that there is a missing "est" for "deprehensa" which is not an uncommon occurrence. But then that would ruin the ablative absolute of the exception clause, so I don't find the idea of the missing "est" to be plausible. Therefore, the only option left is to apply the "quia" to the "nec…nec" sequence.
2.) I agree with you on this point. I am not certain why I said that it must be about marriages having already occurred. I think I originally said what I did on account of "deprehensa" being a perfect passive participle.
3.) I also agree with you on this point. I have overstated the case. Upon reexamining the text, it's quite possible to read the canon as not endorsing remarriage even in the cases of adultery. It only explicitly says a divorce can happen. The rest is open to different readings. I am willing to read it as barring marriage to another while the first wife lives in cases where divorce happened for something other than adultery. But again, that is a matter of interpretation. A lot seems to hinge on how one reads the exception clause and its relation to the whole text. It's also worth pointing out that Soissons is in close proximity to Compiègne and Verberie in both time and space. Those councils could be understood as clarifying Soissons' canon. But that argument is hardly foolproof. It supposes consistency across the three, when inconsistency might very well have been the historical reality.
I'll edit my post and rewrite the Soissons section in the next few days if I can find the spare time. In the meantime, what do you think about what I have said thus far in my response?
I zoomed in on that page and it looks like the illegible word is "coeat", or copulate.
Many thanks for that. I think you're right, and I will change it. I was looking at the Wasserschleben edition and it had coiverit, which can't possibly be the case for the Mansi text. I will be putting coeat in there.

Truck farmer Kim Sanwald shares her experiences, recipes in 'Basics with a Twist'
Updated Apr 03, 2019; Posted Jun 08, 2011
By Ann Byle | The Grand Rapids Press
Katy Batdorff | The Grand Rapids PressKim Sanwald, author of "Basics with a Twist, " helps customers pick heirloom tomatoes in the Brickyard Farms booth at the Fulton Farmer's Market Saturday morning.
Kim Sanwald has been dabbling in writing for more than two decades. She's been farming for much less time, but her two loves have combined in her first book, "Basics with a Twist."
"I felt compelled that there is a story here about growing food and how I was changed by that," said Sanwald, co-owner with partner Valerie Lane of Brickyard Farms LLC, in Cloverdale.
The many changes in Sanwald's life began occurring in her early 40s: She left her 18-year marriage, came out as a lesbian and found herself living on a farm. When she lost the job she'd held for 36 years, she chose full-time farm work over looking for another job.
"I've always been a very intense, planned sort of person, very comfortable in my urban life. And then I found myself on a farm," Sanwald said. "I wanted to put the book together as a statement that you can change later in life. Now, I love driving my tractor, love everything about farming."
Who: Kim Sanwald, author of "Basics with a Twist," will discuss and sign copies of her book, which is available at the Brickyard Farms stall at the Fulton Street Farmer's Market.
When: 7 p.m. Tuesday
Where: Schuler Books & Music, 2660 28th St. SE
Cost: $14.95 for softcover, $25 for hardcover. She also will be at Kazoo Books, 2413 Parkview, Kalamazoo, at 7 p.m. June 22.

Brickyard Farms is a 5.5-acre truck farm located on the site of the old Cloverdale Brickyard, southwest of Hastings. Sanwald and Lane grow five specialties — potatoes, hard-neck garlic, heirloom tomatoes, carrots and beets — plus herbs and other vegetables, and make their own artisan soaps and lotions. They sell their products at the Fulton Street Farmer's Market.
"I've given away a lot of recipes at the farmer's market over the years, so I decided why not just put them in a book," Sanwald said.
"It would be nice to recoup the cost of putting the book out there, but it's more about expression and sharing at the market. The financial outcome is immaterial."
"Basics with a Twist: Life and Food at Brickyard Farms" is part memoir and part cookbook, featuring recipes that use at least one of the farms' signature crops. They grow 17 varieties of heirloom tomatoes (plus plants in the spring), seven varieties each of carrots and potatoes, four kinds of beets, and the garlic, which Sanwald calls "a pain in the watoosie, but we love it and the flavor is so much better than what you purchase in the supermarket." They also grow and sell smaller amounts of herbs, cucumbers, and zucchini.
Katy Batdorff | The Grand Rapids PressKim Sanwald book, "Basics with a Twist, " is on display for customer at the Brickyard Farms booth at the Fulton Farmer's Market Saturday morning.
Last year, they harvested — with some hired help — 7,000 pounds of potatoes, 700 pounds of beets, 2,500 pounds of tomatoes and 4,800 pounds of carrots.
"I'm a big canner," Sanwald said. "There are some pretty long weeks in August and September putting up food."
"We chose specific types of crops for volume based on the size of the farm. We would rather grow five to eight things really well than 25 things kind of well," Sanwald said. "Everything we can bring to Fulton Street we sell out, and that just sounds right to me."

Q: CSS alignment problem How can I make my registration fields like this

How can I achieve this via CSS?
I mean, that my textboxes should be aligned from label's end to the page's end...
EDIT
Here is my view part

Last Name:

@Html.TextBox("member-last-name")

Pass:

@Html.TextBox("member-pass")

<input type="submit" value="Search" class="button"/>

In CSS I tried a lot, but with no success. width:auto doesn't help and I don't find solution for this. Thanks for help.

A: With changes to your view you can achieve this. My answer is based on the following answer: How to make text input box to occupy all the remaining width within parent block?
You can look at the modified version of the answer at http://jsfiddle.net/626B2/63/
HTML:

        UserName<input id="text" type="text" />

        pass<input id="text" type="text" />

    <input id="submit" type="button" value="Submit" />

CSS:
#inner {
    display: table;
    width: 100%;
}
label {
    display: table-cell;
    white-space:nowrap;

}
span {
    display: table-cell;
    width: 100%;
    padding: 0px 10px;
}
#text {
    width: 100%;
}

A: After I had to refator your HTML to properly reflect the actual rendered code, this is the best I can come up with.
HTML:

Last Name:
<input type="text" name="member-last-name" class="myInput">

Pass:
<input type="text" name="member-pass" class="myInput">

<input type="submit" value="Search" class="button"/>

CSS:
#member-search
{
    width: 100%;
}

label
{
    float: left;
}

.myInput
{
    float: right;
    width: 88%;/*MILES AN HOUR, MARTY!*/
}

.clear
{
    clear: both;
}

Check here for an example.

A: See: http://jsfiddle.net/thirtydot/edGAp/
This works in IE7 and greater + all modern browsers.
CSS:
#member-search label {
    float: left
}
#member-search span {
    display: block;
    overflow: hidden;
    padding: 0 4px
}
#member-search input[type="text"] {
    width: 100%
}

HTML:

        Last Name:
        <input type="text" name="member-last-name" />

        Pass:
        <input type="text" name="member-pass" />

    <input type="submit" value="Search" class="button" />

A: here you go
http://jsfiddle.net/8YAhW/
Pay attention to the label tag and the "for" attribute. This helps when tabbing across items commonly used when making forms.
Hope this helps you out

Владимир Иванович Герасимов () — контр-адмирал Военно-морского флота СССР, участник Великой Отечественной войны, Герой Советского Союза (1945).

Биография
Владимир Герасимов родился 28 декабря 1925 года в деревне Дулово Талдомского района Московской области в семье кадрового военного. В 1937 году его отец был репрессирован, после чего он вместе с матерью переехал в Тулу.

Окончил десять классов школы, одновременно учился в Тульской военно-морской школе Осоавиахима.

В августе 1941 года Герасимов был призван на службу в Рабоче-крестьянскую Красную Армию. Участвовал в рытье окопов и противотанковых рвов на Резервном и Западном фронтах.

В 1941—1943 году учился в Скопинском пехотном училище, но, не доучившись, в июле 1943 года добровольно ушёл на фронт. Принимал участие в боях на Воронежском, 1-м Украинском, Ленинградском, 2-м Украинском, 3-м Белорусском, 1-м Прибалтийском фронтах. Участвовал в Белгородско-Харьковском операции, битве за Днепр на Лютежском плацдарме, Уманско-Ботошанской и Белорусской операциях. В боях пять раз был ранен.

За отличие в боях два раза представлялся к званию Героя Советского Союза, но эти представления не были реализованы. К октябрю 1944 года гвардии старший сержант Владимир Герасимов командовал отделением автоматчиков моторизованного батальона 18-й гвардейской танковой бригады, (3-го гвардейского танкового корпуса, 5-й гвардейской танковой армии, 1-го Прибалтийского фронта). Отличился во время освобождения Литовской ССР.

11 октября 1944 года в ходе боёв на подступах к Мемелю Герасимов с гранатой бросился на вражеский пулемёт и уничтожил его. Получив тяжёлое ранение, он не покинул поля боя, продолжая отстреливаться из пистолета, а затем вынес на себе раненого лейтенанта.

Указом Президиума Верховного Совета СССР от 24 марта 1945 года за «образцовое выполнение боевых заданий командования на фронте борьбы с немецкими захватчиками и проявленные при этом мужество и героизм» гвардии старший сержант Владимир Герасимов был удостоен звания Героя Советского Союза с вручением ордена Ленина и медали «Золотая Звезда» за номером 7208.

С 1945 года Герасимов учился в училище разведки механизированных и бронетанковых войск РККА, но позднее был переведён в Высшее военно-морское училище имени Фрунзе, которое он окончил в 1949 году. Был штурманом подводной лодки «С-25» на Северном и Тихоокеанском флотах. В 1962 году Герасимов окончил командный факультет Военно-морской академии. В 1962—1967 годах был начальником штаба, в 1967—1970 годах — командиром 27-й отдельной бригады подводных лодок, в 1970—1973 годах — командиром 14-й дивизии подводных лодок Черноморского флота. С ноября 1973 года В. И. Герасимов служил начальником Инспекции мореплавания, водолазных и глубоководных работ ВМФ СССР, а с октября 1976 года — начальником Поисково-спасательной службы ВМФ СССР.

В 1990 году в звании контр-адмирала Герасимов вышел в отставку. Проживал в Москве. Скончался 24 апреля 2009 года, похоронен на Троекуровском кладбище Москвы.

Память
 Бюст Героя Советского Союза В. И. Герасимова был открыт в начале 2022 года в Севастополе на Аллее героев-подводников Великой Отечественной войны в расположении дивизиона подводных лодок отдельной 155-й отдельной Констанцской бригады подводных лодок Черноморского флота. В открытии бюста участвовало командование Черноморского флота во главе с командующим адмиралом И. В. Осиповым и сын Героя капитан 1-го ранга в отставке А. В. Герасимов.
 Севастопольская средняя общеобразовательная школа № 33 носит имя контр-адмирала Героя Советского Союза В. И. Герасимова.

Chivas USA 0, Vancouver Whitecaps 0 | MLS Match Recap
August 17, 201412:53AM EDT
Blair AnguloMLSsoccer.com
Follow@ InsideChivasUSA
CARSON, Calif. – The Vancouver Whitecaps held off a determined Chivas USA side Saturday night to earn a scoreless draw and extend their unbeaten streak to six games.
There weren't many golden opportunities for either side, as Vancouver notched their third straight shutout and the hosts were blanked for the fourth straight week.
Chivas USA squandered a couple of opportunities in the second half. In the 74th minute, Erick "Cubo" Torres misfired from just inside the box after a centering pass from Mauro Rosales trickled out to the edge. About 10 minutes earlier, his header off a Rosales feed went directly to goalkeeper David Ousted, who made an easy save.
Vancouver had a good look in the 75th minute, but Kekuta Manneh's shot from distance proved too ambitious and sailed onto the tarp covering the StubHub Center bleachers.
GET ALL THE STATS AND ANALYTICS
The Whitecaps' last loss came July 20 to the same Goats, whose defense bounced back after having allowed nine goals in their previous four matches.
But the Chivas USA attack again lacked punch, with their scoreless drought extending to a season-worst 366 consecutive minutes. The debut of forward Félix Borja, whose loan move from Ecuadorian side Liga Deportiva Universitaria de Quito was announced earlier in the week, was rather uneventful as he made the start alongside Torres atop the Chivas USA formation.
The Whitecaps maintained their nine-point lead on last-place Chivas USA in the Western Conference standings and remain in the fifth and final playoff spot.
In the first half, Torres corralled a loose ball in the 13th minute, but couldn't finish from close range as Ousted gobbled up the attempt. The MLS All-Star had another strike from about 18 yards out, but Ousted made a diving catch.
OPTA CHALKBOARD: Plenty of shots, no breakthrough
Chivas USA (6-11-5) did continue their success against the Whitecaps after earning four points from their previous two matchups against Vancouver. They earned a draw in the second week of the season and beat the Whitecaps at BC Place, 3-1, last month.
The Whitecaps had a scoring chance in the 28th minute, but a header from Omar Salgado that appeared destined for the back of the net was punched away by Dan Kennedy, who recorded his fourth shutout of the year.
The Whitecaps look to continue their unbeaten streak next week against the LA Galaxy in the same venue. Chivas USA will hit the road for the fifth time in seven weeks to face the New England Revolution on Saturday.

In Light Of Death
An Interview With Rick Fields On Living With Cancer
By Helen Tworkov
My attitude is "I'm going to live until I die," which is all anyone can do. I don't see the value of having someone say, "You have four months to live."And I don't want to give that much weight to any one person's opinion, whether they're a seemingly enlightened, spiritual person or a super Ph.D. or an M.D. — fortunetelling has never interested me.

It took a long time, but, by the following summer, I could get in and out of my car without hyperventilating. I could walk calmly down main streets in the daytime, although I still avoided parking lots and alleys, and rarely went out alone at night.

A man I like is coming for dinner tonight. This means I don't sleep very much, and I wake disoriented in the half light of dawn, wondering where I am.

The theatre and performing arts has always been a passion of mine, ever since my student days working at The Tron Theatre in Glasgow. I find watching the drama and intensity of an actor in full flow can make a really amazing photograph.
TV and film sets are also fascinating experiences. Watching what goes on, how the lights are set, the backgrounds etc. There also can be portraits to be had of the cast members in between scenes. Above is Jonathan Watson in his popular character of Frank 'Macca' McAvennie with Judy Murray filming a tennis sketch for the hit TV show Only an Excuse.
When working on a television or film set or in the theatre where a camera shutter and put off the cast or disturb the audience I use an Aqua Tech sound blimp for my Canon D1X with lens tubes for the Canon f2.8 70-200mm and the f2.8 16-35mm lenses.

Here's a killer original 1997 Fender Telecaster Thinline that has an OBEL On Board Effects Loop as used by Jerry Garcia and others. This guitar was modded by Gary Brawer in SF - the same guy who worked on Jerry's guitar - with an onboard effects loop, buffer, and preamp. A JerryCaster. Very pro job. Can be used it conventionally like a regular Tele bypassing the OBEL with the first output jack.
This is a very nice example of a Tele Thinline with a particularly nice feeling neck. Excellent playability with a low action and no buzz or issues.
The OBEL On Board Effects Loop is a wiring design inside the guitar which uses a separate 1/4" stereo jack to allows the direct output from the pickups to go to effects pedals and then back into the guitar for post-effects volume control. The purpose of the OBEL is to allow for volume adjustments on the guitar after being processed by effects. You may notice that distortion and envelope filters respond differently with volume adjustments on a standard electric guitar. Using an OBEL allows for consistent response from your effects pedals/processors at any guitar volume. This guitar comes with a Y-Cable included in the case that can be used for this effect. This OBEL is a $400 upgrade.
This is a particularly nice example and comes with the original hard case.
Don't miss it Garcia fans and Dead Heads!

Home » Trump's trade clock is ticking
Trump's trade clock is ticking
By Robbin S. Johnson
Re-negotiation of NAFTA has its own legal, political and substantive challenges.
WASHINGTON — While most media eyes are on the health care debate, there are some trade clocks ticking that could have far-reaching implications for U.S. agriculture. The more visible one is President Donald Trump's plan — announced in May — to re-negotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The other — less visible but fraught with uncertainties — are Section 232 "national security" investigations into steel and aluminum imports.
Many trade watchers were relieved when President Trump decided to "re-negotiate" NAFTA rather than to leave the agreement. Re-negotiation, however, has its own legal, political and substantive challenges. On the legal front, the Trump administration cannot begin negotiations until it has completed required consultations with Congress, which come in mid-August. At the other end of the timeline, the president's "fast-track" trade-negotiating authority expires on July 1, 2018. If it is not extended by Congress, any trade deals considered after that date are vulnerable to congressional amendment, which historically has been tantamount to ending negotiations.
The third time element is the 180 days Congress has to consider a trade deal after it is reported to Congress by President Trump before he can sign the agreement. Putting the two consultation timelines together, the Trump administration only has from mid-August until the end of 2017 to conclude a re-negotiation that could be approved under existing law.
Extension a possibility
Of course, President Trump could seek an extension in his trade-negotiating authority past July 1, 2018. Then, however, negotiators start running into political obstacles. Here at home, mid-term electioneering would start shifting into high gear in the second half of 2018, never a good time to present a trade treaty for ratification. More problematic, Mexico elects a new president on July 1, 2018. One of the candidates — Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador — has his own populist roots. In any case, incoming leaders seldom want to rubber-stamp a previous administration's work. Pushing a start to negotiations into the latter half of 2018 begins running up against political risks in Canada, which could hold elections in October 2019. The "window of opportunity" for concluding a successful NAFTA re-negotiation, in other words, is a tight and elusive one.
All of this precedes the substantive hurdles negotiators face. U.S. agriculture has complained about lack of market access to Canada's "supply managed" dairy and poultry sectors. But little has occurred to change prospects there. The auto elements of NAFTA call out for a new look at "rules of origin" as car manufacturing practices continue to evolve. Looming even larger are the tremendous changes that have occurred in North America's energy sector. As a consequence of the shale revolution, U.S. energy trade with Mexico has swung from a $20 billion deficit as recently as 2011 to more than a $10 billion surplus in 2016.
Moreover, the NAFTA region as a whole stands to be energy independent by 2020, making preservation of an integrated and coherent market ever more valuable, for industry and agriculture alike. Mexico's growing imports of natural gas from the United States also have buoyed prices for the expanding U.S. natural gas industry. This fundamental shift in energy security should not be lost as negotiators wrestle with product-specific grievances.
The other looming trade issue involves Section 232 investigations launched in late April into steel and aluminum imports. Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 authorizes the United States to limit imports that threaten "national security." This provision — and similar ones in other countries — is essentially undisciplined by World Trade Organization rules, but national security complaints have a long history of self-restraint. Only 10 cases have been brought, and all have been settled before a final ruling by the W.T.O. or its predecessor organization, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). U.S. use of its Section 232 has been more frequent — 26 times — but also has led to few actual import limits.
The Trump administration's purposes in using Section 232 are far from clear. There is no doubt that excess capacity in the steel and aluminum industries globally — much of it in China — weighs down on prices. But Section 232 import protections are unlikely to get at this fundamental cause. The U.S. steel industry already is sheltered by around 200 antidumping and countervailing duties, many on Chinese products. And Canada, not China, supplies the lion's share — nearly half — of America's aluminum imports. It also is clear that the risks to U.S. defense interests — not to mention the interests of steel and aluminum value-added users in the domestic market — could be addressed through other, less blunt tools.
Many hope that the Trump campaign rhetoric on NAFTA — "the worst trade deal ever" — and the administration's decision to apply Section 232 investigations to core industries were meant to get attention, not to initiate a new protectionism. So far, the actions taken could fit either scenario.
The clock is ticking toward some definitive decision points. Processes around these issues include opportunities for public input. One can expect that domestic interests hurt by imports will speak up. It is important for agricultural export interests to ensure that their voices are heard with those of others seeking to keep trade channels open.

Whatever you're buying for your practice, whether it's a phone system, vaccines or locum insurance, you'd be right to shop around.
No-one likes to think they are paying over the odds – particularly for something like insurance which, with any luck, you'll just put in a drawer and forget about.
So should you simply get the job done and buy the cheapest?
The answer to that is simple: only if you know for certain you will never need to claim.
It excludes '…any claim arising from … Planned/Non-fortuitous absences which are any known fact or medical condition which the proposed insured person can reasonably foresee leading to their absence in the proposed Period of Cover'.
It restricts cover after renewal if an insured person has been off work for a week or more in the preceding year even if you didn't make a claim.
The premium goes through the roof if you need to make a claim.
So, buy cheap – and keep your fingers crossed that no one falls ill.
Or buy a policy which doesn't sell you short when you need it the most!
But if you need help or advice that is what we are here for.

Robert Pires tips Thierry Henry to be future Arsenal manager
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger could snub an offer to manage England due to the exclusive dynamic of international management, according to former player Robert Pires. The French coach is regarded as the outstanding candidate to replace Sam Allardyce as the permanent boss of the national team, and is being considered by the FA.
The FAs chief executive Martin Glenn believes English footballs most successful foreign coach would fit the criteria perfectly. The 66-year-old celebrated 20 years in North London this month but is yet to agree an extension to his Gunners contract, which expires at the end of the season.
Pires remains close with Wenger and since retiring has mixed training with the club with some coaching of the Arsenal senior team. He believes the sporadic nature of international management would not suit Wenger and hopes he remains at the Emirates Stadium.
The situation is simple because Wenger is the manager for Arsenal, he told reporters, speaking at the Leaders Sport Business Summit. He want to go to the [training] pitch every morning but if he takes this job it is not the same. At the moment I cannot imagine Wenger for England.
He has an obsession, it is a passion. Managing a [club] team or the country is not the same because he loves football. Maybe [he would struggle to adapt]. If you take this job you need to adapt to a new job and a new challenge but it is not really the same.
The 42-year-old added: Lots of people want to see Arsene Wenger as the new manager of England. He has a contract with Arsenal and I dont know what will happen at the end of the season. I understand people in England, they need a manager like Arsene Wenger. He is a great person but also a great manager.
Wenger loves Arsenal. It would be a good opportunity for England, but I dont know whether for Arsene Wenger. It is not the same job when you are manager for one club like Arsenal or when you are for the country. I dont know what he wants.

About Tax Notes
Tax Notes is the first source of essential daily news, analysis, and commentary for tax professionals whose success depends on being trusted for their expertise.
Tax Notes is a portfolio of publications offered by Tax Analysts, a nonprofit tax publisher. It provides comprehensive and impartial coverage of tax news, while its commentary contributes important voices to the discussion and understanding of tax policy.
Founded in 1970, Tax Analysts was created to foster free, open, and informed discussion about taxation. In 1972 Tax Analysts published Tax Notes Federal, its first weekly journal, featuring news, commentary, and analysis on federal taxation. In 1989 Tax Analysts added Tax Notes International, a weekly magazine focused on international taxation. Tax Notes State rounded out the weekly portfolio in 1991. Each magazine offers best-in-class tax commentary and analysis on the latest changes in tax law and policy, as well as on court opinions, legislative action, and revenue rulings.

To shed light on tax policy and administration through aggressive, unbiased reporting and informed commentary from the leaders in the field.
Tax Analysts is a non-partisan, nonprofit publisher of news and commentary about federal, state, and international tax issues under the brand Tax Notes. We also hold and sponsor conferences about timely issues of tax policy and administration. Through our investigative journalism and, if necessary, the courts, we shed light on government actions that affect taxes by bringing secretive decision-making into the open. Through our publications, conferences, and other activities, we engage with the broad tax community.
Our customers are respected influencers, decision-makers, and policy makers around the world, including those who write, interpret, and enforce tax law in the United States: the IRS, the U.S. Tax Court, and tax writers in Congress. We are an indispensable resource for those who teach and study tax law in academia, and for those in the nonprofit sector who fight for transparency and fairness and who debate the future of tax law. We are valued by those who practice and provide in-house counsel on tax law in the legal, accounting, and corporate spaces, respectively. These entities all depend on Tax Notes to cut through the noise and focus in on what really matters, with in-depth analysis and insight to simplify complex tax topics and help tax professionals understand the implications for changes in tax policy.
Tax Analysts is a team of inquisitive and provocative tax experts — award-winning journalists, lawyers, accountants, and economists — committed to producing the most accurate, timely, and thorough tax coverage. We are the premier outlet for high-quality tax news and commentary and are committed to improving the transparency of tax systems by covering issues the mainstream press does not and aggressively using the Freedom of Information Act to uncover documents addressing issues of tax policy and administration.
Tax Analysts was founded in 1970 to foster an open and informed discussion about taxes. We began to publish our federal tax magazine in 1972, and we added our international and state magazines in 1989 and 1991, respectively. Each of these weekly magazines provides the best coverage available on the latest changes in tax policy and administration, as well as on court opinions, legislative action, and revenue rulings. We added online daily news services for federal, international, and state taxation between 1987 and 1991, and we produce several research and reference tools as well as specialized services focusing on tax-exempt organizations, state tax audit guidance, and multinational tax treaties.
At the start, we sought to defend the public interest and force tax policymaking into the open. We first sued the IRS in 1972 to gain public access to private letter rulings (PLRs) and technical advice memoranda (TAMs) — crucial documents through which the IRS provided legal advice to specific taxpayers and IRS field agents. The courts gave us access to PLRs, and Congress soon required the IRS to publicly disclose its TAMs. Over the years, we have also used the Freedom of Information Act to force the IRS and state revenue departments to publicly share information about tax assessments and exemptions they have provided in private decisions.
We marked the start of a new era for Tax Analysts in 2006 by moving into a new headquarters building in Falls Church, VA. From our origins as a tiny nonprofit that operated on a shoestring budget, we are now a global publisher, have a full-time headquarters staff of almost 200 employees, and over 250 correspondents spanning more than 125 countries. More than 150,000 tax professionals in law and accounting firms, corporations, government agencies, and academic institutions rely on our in-depth federal, state, and international content every day.

I'm en route right now to the California Redwoods and the Oregon coast. Last year I spent a week here exploring, hiking, scouting and photographing this amazing area. I was struck by the beauty, both big and small, in this environment. I spent some days shooting along the coast, and Bandon beach was impressive. I spent half the day soaking up this beach area. I've found I am my most creative when I really absorb my surroundings, and just concentrate on the beauty. Not thinking about business, deadlines, personal issues…be in that place at that moment, no distractions, 100 percent focused on my surroundings. As I wandered the beach, I found a beautiful rock surrounded by a moat of tidewater. I decided to work every angle and composition I could imagine. I knew there was a good image there, I just had to find it. I shot right through sunset, which was nice since it was clear, but no crimson sky overhead. And I remembered an important concept for landscape photography; after the sun sets, just keep shooting.
One thing many photographers forget is film, or digital media, will record colors and tones differently during long exposures. What you see at the moment is not what you will get in the final shot. It is similar to northern lights photography; that dull green glow in the sky will look spectacular after a 30 second exposure. The colors saturate, shapes form…it is hard to believe what the camera records versus what you see in real time.
I knew twilight colors with clear sunset and sunrise would render rich and saturated during a long exposure. I set up for my shot, and started shooting exposures from 1 second to 10 seconds as the light faded. I was ecstatic with the image. Not only were the horizon colors saturating nicely, but the tide pool also picked up purple tones from the sky. The icing on the cake was the wind blew ripples on the moat water around the rock creating a nice soft silky appearance during the long exposure. I knew I had just created one of my favorite images for 2017. Just me, the ocean waves rolling along the beach, and a beautiful tidal moat surrounding a beach rock…being in the moment and lucky enough to record it. When I made it back to my car it was totally dark. But waiting that extra 30 minutes after sunset was worth every second.

The Freshkills Park Team is looking for a Development Intern, Climate Change Research Intern, Public Art Intern, and Education Intern to join the staff at the project's lower Manhattan headquarters this summer. These four part-time positions will involve site visits and provide opportunities to collaboratively contribute to ongoing park planning and project implementation.

This may be in the form of blog post contributions and/or supplemental information for school trips, among others.
The Public Art Internship is an opportunity to support foundational elements of the growing art program in order to integrate artists in park development over the next 25 years. The Public Art Intern will have a hands-on role in planning and implementation: organizing a working group, programming a new gallery space, assisting with production, and collaborating with partners. The part-time internship also offers an opportunity to understand the inner workings of Park programming and resource development to support exciting new initiatives in public art at this unique site.
Ability to work independently and execute delegated tasks as well as communicate progress in a collaborative team environment.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump made a surprise appearance in the White House briefing room Thursday on the 13th day of the partial government shutdown, as he continued to dig in his heels over his promised border wall.
"Without a wall you cannot have border security," Trump said, insisting he has never had as much support on any issue as he has gotten in the past week. Trump left without taking questions, as did his staff.
Meanwhile, House Democrats prepared to pass a plan to re-open government without funding Trump's signature promise. Trump is demanding billions of dollars to build a wall along the U.S. border with Mexico, which the Democrats have refused. The White House has invited congressional leaders back for another meeting Friday, two days after failing to make progress during their first sit-down in weeks.
The new Congress convened with Democrats taking majority control of the House and returning Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi to the speakership. Democrats expect to quickly pass legislation to re-open the government — without funds for Trump's border wall.
Pence and Acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney were on the Hill Thursday.

It's fair to say that it took a while for Irish brands to fully embrace content marketing.
Despite being a success in other countries, content marketing took a little longer to get past the awkward handshake stage on Irish shores.
After something of a slow start, the new kid on the block has charmed its way into the hearts of Irish brands and marketers.
256 Media's recent Content Marketing Survey found that 75% of Irish marketers are producing more content than they did last year – and many of them are creating excellent content that increases customer attraction, engagement and retention.
Want to know more about content? Our free eBook will break down some of the best content marketing examples in Ireland and show you what you need to do to keep up with the competition.
"Content is king" may be something of a cliché but it's also a fact. Producing quality content is key to getting your brand message out there and bringing in new business.
It's all about driving engagement and showing customers that you understand their needs and pain points. Content also brings in traffic to your site and improves your search ranking. So making it a part of your overall marketing strategy is something of a no-brainer.
Knowing what makes a great campaign is half the battle but knowing where to start can be difficult. The internet is a very big place, after all. Luckily, help is at hand. Our 29 Irish Content Marketing Examples will break down the best of the best and give you tips on how you can elevate your brand to their level.
It'll also inspire you to try new things and get the creative juices flowing when it comes to your own approach to content.
We searched the length and breadth of Ireland to track down some of the finest examples of content marketing by Irish companies. It was a tough job but someone had to do it!
We think you'll be suitably impressed by our free downloadable eBook, which includes brands who have excelled in the areas of social media, web and print.
The one thing they have in common is that they've created hard working content assets that support their brand.
We celebrate the things that they're doing well and explain what elevated them to the status of content marketing heroes.
We also look at some areas where there's room for improvement because no one is perfect after all! Even some of the best campaigns in the country ignored simple things that can make a big difference – where are your blogs, people!?
Constructive criticism aside, the eBook is there to showcase great content and to recognise the inspiring companies that are championing content marketing in Ireland. We're happy to doff our hats and congratulate them on a job well done.
The list itself includes a broad spectrum of companies who promote everything from fuel and butter to healthcare and dog food – proving that content marketing is integral to success, regardless of your industry.
How do I get the free eBook?

I drove down to Kaduna in the morning and got to the clinic around 10:30. Our meeting was supposed to start at 11, so I had enough time to see everyone and say hello before hand. I finally got to see my good friend Helen Lolo! She was away last time I visited the clinic so it was really good to finally see her. Helen and I had the best conversations last year. She is so honest about everything and incredibly intelligent. Anyways, after that, I went over to the records room to see how Ibrahim and Yakubu were doing. When I walked in, they were both on the computers, typing away. Also in the room were 2 new Records Keepers that just graduated from the University.
Our meeting started out pretty ordinary. I asked who was using the EMR; it is just Yakubu and Ibrahim but they are going to teach the 2 new people soon. I asked what they were using the EMR for; they said to enter in immunizations. They want to do Antenatal but they just don't have the time. Well I asked, why not? There are normally no more then 100 children that come into the clinic each week. I know they can type faster then that, so what's up? Well it turns out, they had decided that they wanted the records to be 100% complete so they were going back and entering in all the immunizations from when the computer wasn't working.
WOW. To me, that is pretty amazing. They see the value and importance in having complete and accurate records, and are willing to do more work for it. Turns out, they are almost up-to-date on all the immunizations. There is a total of over 1,000 children immunizations records in the EMR currently.
So next I asked how they were doing the reporting. Ibrahim explained that he used the Reporting Module on the EMR. I was a little skeptical that he was being honest so I said "Are you sure?" ….. and he looks at me and says "Yes! Look at what I have been doing with the data each month!" and points behind me. I turn around and on the wall were 4 hand drawn bar graphs and pie charts depicting the data that he was collecting each month.
I was blown away. Seriously blown away. Before the EMR was in place, the records were a guess, at best. And because everyone knew they weren't accurate, no one really cared what the numbers were. But now, with a little bit of information, Ibrahim was inspired enough to take the time to hand draw bar graphs! I am not sure if everyone understands how monumental this is and I don't know if I am giving this justice in my description. But, this is huge. Giving someone just a little bit of empowerment and seeing the results of that is amazing.
Not to mention the fact that Ibrahim and Yakubu are finally getting to do the job that they studied to do. They put themselves through school, studying for many years, learning how to analyze data and now the EMR is finally allowing them to do the job they want to do!
Another amazing thing is that the EMR system actually helped them to realize that, not only were the "return" immunizations not being recorded properly, but that some people were stealing money from the clinic. Once they realized this, they were able to tell the Matron and now "return" immunizations are being recorded properly! And Ibrahim told me that he was, and I quote, "excited to finish the "first" immunizations so that he can go back in and enter the "return" immunizations so that the immunization records would be up to date". So cool.
Also during the meeting, Ibrahim and Yakubu were sure to tell me what more they wanted the EMR to do, what they didn't like about it, that they wanted more computers so more data could be entered, and what I needed to fix for them. To me this was pretty cool because most of the time I am working with people, it's like pulling teeth to try to get them to actually TELL ME what they want/need. I think it is a Hausa thing but it is REALLY hard. The fact that I barely had to ask what they needed and Ibrahim and Yakubu felt comfortable enough with me to tell me straight away was a really cool experience.
Right now I am finishing my report on the 1-year Evaluation for the clinic and it will be up soon online. We are trying to raise some money to get the clinic more computers and we want to set up our solar system there.
Below are the pictures of the graphs that Ibrahim made and just of the Records Room in general. Before I left, I asked Yakubu to let me take a video of him entering in a child's immunization record so that people back home could see how it works. Its pretty amazing. I am working on making a short video and will upload it soon!
Good Job Yakubu and Ibrahim!
My company manufactures Micro Wind Turbines; we could also help out in someway.
I love seeing success stories like this! Congrats everyone involved!
Great to hear about the progress in Kaduna. Keep up the good work!

NCL (Norwegian Cruise Line) during the Hurricane Irma. We got 5 days instead of a week. So the company returned to us almost 30% of the cruise cost + gave 25% discount for the next cruise.
I think this is a great deal. So cruise with NCL during the hurricane season is a good idea.
