Taha Magdy of the Revolutionary Socialists was killed by Brotherhood thugs today
Joseph Mayton | 5 December 2012
CAIRO: Over 200 people have been injured as Muslim Brotherhood supporters continue to attack Egyptian activists who had been protesting against President Mohamed Morsi.
The ministry of health continues to update the number, although they have not reported any deaths at around 10 PM Wednesday evening.
The Brotherhood's political arm Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) has claimed one of their members was killed in the violence. An anti-Morsi protester has also been reportedly killed, although this has not been confirmed by Bikyamasr.com.
Thousands of supporters of Egypt's President Mohamed Morsi violently attacked and threw out protesters who had gathered by the presidential palace on Wednesday, taking down their tents.
Reports suggest at least one member of the opposition is in a coma after being brutally attacked by a Brotherhood supporter.
The president's opponents had announced a sit-in on Tuesday against a constitutional decree issued by Morsi and a draft constitution written by an Islamist-dominated assembly.
Clashes erupted between opponents and supporters earlier where they hurled stones at each other and chanted opposing slogans.
The violence continues into Tuesday evening, in what activists have described to Bikyamasr.com as "sad," "shocking" and "unbelievable."
The Brotherhood supporters were heard screaming "Allah Akbar" as they rushed forward in wave after wave of attack against the protesters against Morsi.

20:40 Clashes near the presidential palace are still on and off, while President Morsi and the presidential office have yet to make a comment on the ongoing turmoil.
Thank you for following Ahram Online's live coverage tonight, which concludes here.
22:25 United States State Department Deputy Spokesperson Mark Toner spoke about the events in Cairo reports MENA:
"Our message is clear, we want to see an end to the violence and efforts made towards a truly inclusive process."
Toner argued that the referendum set to take place on 15 December should be held peacefully and monitored by "neutral observers," adding that it was important for Egyptians "to express their views in a peaceful manner", and to be allowed to protest peacefully.
22:20 Ahram Online's Osman El-Sharnoubi says hundreds of anti-Morsi protesters and pro-Morsi supporters are debating the ongoing political crisis in small circles, in the nearby Salah Salem Boulevard. "The environment is friendly here," El-Sharnoubi added.
22:10 The Revolutionary Socialists have said that one of its members was killed by Muslim Brotherhood supporters during clashes today.
"We are mourning the death of Taha Magdy, who was killed by Brotherhood thugs. We are ready to offer hundreds of martyrs for the sake of our revolution," the group said on their Facebook page.
22:05 The Freedom and Justice Party headquarters in Ismailia in north-east Egypt have been set on fire, reports Reuters.
22:00 Breaking the government's silence since the beginning of Wednesday's clashes, Prime Minister Hesham Qandil in an official statement called on all forces to halt the violence and to open space for negotiations. "Efforts need to be exerted to get out of the current political crisis," he said.
21:57 Ahram Online's Ahmed Feteha reports that protester Mahmoud Nabil, 24, claimed that his arm was broken in an assault by pro-Morsi supporters.
"He said that he approached a bearded man supporting President Morsi and told him that what he and his colleagues were doing is unacceptable," Feteha said. "The bearded man, according to the victim, threw him on the ground, and then another man used a hammer to break his arm."
21:55 Ahram Online's Osman El-Sharnoubi says that in Merghany Street, close to the palace, clashes have stopped for now. Morsi supporters have withdrawn from the street. Two buses and a car with Morsi banners have been destroyed by anti-Morsi protesters.
21:50 Hundreds of anti-Morsi protesters in the coastal city of Alexandria marched from Victor Emmanuel Square in the Smouha district to Sidi Gaber Square, stopping traffic in the main streets of the city, Al-Ahram's Arabic website reports.
21:47 Deputy head of the Freedom and Justice Party Essam El-Erian claimed during a call-in to the Muslim Brotherhood's Misr 25 television channel that the ongoing clashes are not between two groups of revolutionaries but rather skirmishes between "supporters of the revolution and counter-revolutionaries carrying out thuggish practices."
He also claimed that former regime allies including former presidential candidate Ahmed Shafiq, television host Tawfiq Okasha, former MP Mohamed Abou-Hamed, head of the Constitution Party Mohamed ElBaradei, and former presidential candidate Amr Moussa, "are responsible for the ongoing bloodshed."
He called on Egyptians to go to the vicinity of the palace to detain the "thugs and hand them to the rulers of justice, so that everyone knows who in fact is financing them and providing them with the pellets and Molotov cocktails."
21:45 Central Security Forces are firing tear gas canisters reportedly to disperse clashes in Kahlifa El-Maamoun Street, close to the presidential palace, with the aim of creating a buffer. Two CSF trucks are now parked between the two rival groups and clashes have stopped.
21:40 Al Jazeera reports that Egypt's Ambulance Authority has reiterated its earlier statement that no deaths have been reported thus far, although the injury toll has risen to 126.
21:35 British Foreign Secretary William Hague has issued a statement calling on all factions in Egypt's conflict to refrain from using violence, and stated that the British government is communicating with both the ruling power and the opposition.
"The British government expresses its commitment to aid in the process of Egypt's political transition and the promotion of democracy," read the statement.
21:30 The Central Security Forces, Ahram Online's Ahmed Feteha reports, are trying to disperse anti-Morsi protesters in Roxy Square with tear gas. "Meanwhile, protesters have attacked a police kiosk set up in the area," he added.
21:25 Dozens demonstrate in front of the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party headquarters in Suez City, protesting what they described as a Brotherhood assault on the sit-in at the presidential palace, reported state agency MENA. Security forces are surrounding the headquarters.
21:22 Ahram Online reporter Ahmed Feteha spots a man using a firearm against the Brotherhood
supporters. "It seems he is not adept at using firearms, but he has been using it recklessly," Feteha says.
21:20 Moderate Islamist Wasat Party leader and Constituent Assembly member Essam Sultan speaking on Al-Jazeera Mubasher Egypt television channel puts the blame on Mohamed ElBaradei for the bloody clashes that have ensued outside the presidential palace.
"ElBaradei is the one who has included the felool, remnants of Hosni Mubarak's National Democratic Party, in the political equation."
"They are to be held responsible for the deaths of the nation's sons."
21:15 Salafist preacher and Morsi supporter Yasser Borhami tells Al-Jazeera satellite television channel that "the ongoing violence does not serve the country," and adds that what is happening today started yesterday when protesters besieged the palace "saying words that were insulting to the president."
"If you are capable of using violence there will be others who are capable of responding with violence," the head of the ultra-conservative Salafist Call argued.
"If you say that the constitution is not consensual then say your comment and we will listen."
"I was in contact with members of the non-Islamist camp and I told them that we have to protect the presidency," he added.
21:10 Citizen journalist Mohamed Mansour from the northern Egyptian governorate of Damietta, who posts on Twitter as @mansourtalk, says on his account: "Damietta now catches up with Cairo."
He reports that crowds are currently outside the National Security Directorate in Damietta city, and have blockaded the main road with burning tires, chanting against Morsi.
21:08 The Ministry of Health says the injury toll has risen to 63, with no deaths reported so far.
21:05 Al-Ahram Arabic news website reports that three men were detained and handed over to security authorities in Zagazig city in the Sharqiya governorate for setting fire to the local Muslim Brotherhood headquarters, as well as two cars parked outside the building.
20:55 Ahram Online reporter Ahmed Feteha describes the scene at the presidential palace:
"Hundreds of Brotherhood supporters are standing right before the palace, and there are two rows of Central Security Forces in front of them."
"The anti-Morsi protesters, also in the hundreds, are facing the opposite direction. No violence currently as both sides keep chanting. 'The people endorse the president's decision,' is repeated by the Brotherhood's supporters, while protesters on the other side chant 'The people want the fall of the regime,' among other slogans.
Clashes in the surrounding areas have been back and forth.
20:50 Mazhar Shaheen, the famous imam of Omar Makram Mosque in Tahrir Square, who was dubbed the "Tahrir Preacher" after the January 25 revolution, tells Al-Ahram Arabic news website that the current crisis is heading towards a "civil war."
"Shame on all of us for contributing to the collapse of the homeland," he commented.
Shaheen also said that all factions of the political elite are responsible for the current crisis, and urged dialogue between them.
20:43 Political activist Ahmed Douma, who was detained during the 2011 Cabinet clashes, is pictured on Facebook with a bloodied knife wound to his face.

20:20 The Freedom and Justice Party's official website claims a Muslim Brotherhood member, Mohamed Assem, has just been killed by live ammunition.
20:15 "The president, the presidential office and the group [the Muslim Brotherhood] are fully responsible for the violence before the Ittihadia [palace]. The Brotherhood's way to manage crises: Violence, fascism and failure," political analyst and former MP Amr Hamzawy says on Twitter.
"The legitimacy of the president is not at stake, it's falling now."
20:10 Founding member of the liberal El-Adl Party and former MP Mostafa El-Naggar on his official Twitter account called for the Muslim Brotherhood and the president to "revise their political calculations before its too late," describing the presidential institution as "shameful."
"To the president, the presidency and presidential aides, after your shameful performance we do not trust you and we do not trust your management of the country," he said.
"We carried our coffins facing the old regime and its oppression and we fear nothing but God, and we will not succumb."
20:00 Veteran anti-Mubarak Judge Zakareya Abdel-Aziz, speaking on Al-Jazeera television channel, comments: "Egypt is passing through a very difficult period."
The former head of the Judges' Club calls on leading groups to discourage the use of violence by youth, and calls for a consensus-building initiative by Constituent Assembly members and the National Salvation Front to negotiate ways forward.
"The president, however, has to freeze the draft constitution," he asserts.
19:56 Presidential aide Ayman El-Sayyad announces his resignation as clashes continue near presidential palace.
19:55 Presidential aide Seif Abdel-Fattah has announced his resignation, commenting:
"Egypt is bigger than a narrow-minded elite. Egypt will continue its revolution".
"We can no longer stay silent because they [the Muslim Brotherhood] have harmed the nation and the revolution and we need to rebuild Egypt...the youth are the ones who took to the front lines to serve the revolution...I pray for mercy for the souls of the martyrs."
19:52 Ahram Online reporter Ahmed Feteha says that anti-Morsi protesters are adopting a highly offensive stance towards the Brotherhood, having spotted demonstrators destroying a car of a man in Roxy Square near the palace, because he had displayed the logo of the Freedom and Justice Party. They did not assault the man, however.
19:50 Anti-Morsi protesters repeatedly chant "Jika", the name of the protester killed during clashes with police near Tahrir Square two weeks earlier, considering him to be the first to have been killed at the hands of security forces since President Mohamed Morsi won the elections.
"The people want the fall of the regime," is another chant frequently heard.
19:47 As security forces enter the site of clashes outside the presidential palace, crowds are heard chanting, "One hand," in an attempt to subdue violence.
19:43 The official Freedom and Justice Party website claims that a Muslim Brotherhood supporter has been seriously injured outside the presidential palace as a result of live ammunition.
19:41 "We will not agree to participate in any dialogue until the constitutional declaration is annulled," ElBaradei says at the ongoing press conference.

19:34 Ikhwanweb, the Muslim Brotherhood's official English website and Twitter account, comments: "We hold opposition figures, namely Sabbahi and ElBaradei, fully responsible for escalation of violence and inciting supporters."
19:32 Amr Moussa, speaking at the National Salvation Front press conference, says: "We are ready for real dialogue to sort out this situation."
19:31 Ahram Online reporter at the scene, Osman El-Sharnoubi, says that a big anti-Morsi march has just arrived on the other side of the presidential palace.
19:30 The Sabbahi Campaign Twitter account says member of the Egyptian Popular Alliance Mirna Emad has been killed during the ongoing clashes. The April 6 Youth Movement coordinator and member of the Constitution Party Diaa Samir was shot in the eye by birdshot pellets although this is yet to be confirmed.
19:29 Hamdeen Sabbahi, at the National Salvation Front press conference, says that the president, who the people elected, is quickly losing his legitimacy.
19:25 According to Ahram Online reporter Ahmed Feteha, who is at the scene, Muslim Brotherhood supporters attacked anti-Morsi protesters in the vicinity of the presidential palace, firing birdshot pellets. Petrol bombs are also being thrown by both sides.
"The Brotherhood supporters outnumber their opponents," Feteha comments.
19:20 Mohamed ElBaradei at a National Salvation Front press conference that is underway commented: "The current regime is as oppressive as the former regime...our movement is peaceful and will carry on."
19:15 According to ONTV satellite channel the Ministry of Interior has announced that Central Security Forces are trying to create a buffer-zone between presidential supporters and opponents clashing around the presidential palace.
19:06 President Mohamed Morsi is reported to have left the presidential palace as clashes turn violent between supporters and opponents of the president. Supporters chant, "Freedom, justice, Morsi's men stand behind him."
19:00 Molotov cocktails fly around the presidential palace, fireworks light up the sky and gunshots were heard as clashes flared up minutes before 7pm at the presidential palace in Cairo on Wednesday between supporters of President Mohamed Morsi and his opponents, who had been holding a protest sit-in at the site since Tuesday night.
Clashes broke out at the presidential palace in Heliopolis, Cairo, between supporters and opponents of President Mohamed Morsi at around 4pm.
According to media reports, there was no security presence at the palace when the clashes began.
The Muslim Brotherhood claimed there have been calls by the opposition to attack and break into Egypt's presidential palace, amid the tense, ongoing protests against President Mohamed Morsi.
"Such calls waste the legitimacy and ignore the existence of the state president, who was elected by the people," reads a statement of the Islamic group, from which Morsi hails, on its official site.
An Ahram Online reporter at the scene, Osman El-Sharnoubi, confirmed that clashes have continued between Morsi supporters and anti-Morsi protesters in several side streets by the presidential palace.
Shortly before 6pm, Central Security Forces appeared on the scene for the first time since the clashes began and have acted to stand as a barrier between the warring sides.
Eyewitnesses told Ahram Online that several thousand pro-Morsi supporters arrived at the presidential palace minutes before 4pm where they attacked dozens of activists who had been holding a peaceful sit-in since Tuesday.
Earlier in the day, a leading Muslim Brotherhood member told Ahram Online that the group planned to hold a pro-Morsi demonstration in front of the presidential palace. Asked whether such a step might not result in clashes between Brotherhood members and the opposition protesters sitting in at the site, he replied, "let what may happen, happen."
Activist Aida El-Kashef told Ahram Online that demonstrators staging the sit-in had created a buffer-zone to avoid clashes with approaching rival Morsi loyalists. The peace was not maintained for long, however, as a throng made up of hundreds of Morsi supporters approached and attacked the tents of anti-Morsi activists.
El-Sharnoubi reports that pro-Morsi protesters hauled the remains of the tents they had destroyed away from the site of the palace, shouting, "We're cleansing the palace."
Activist Nawara Negm reported that she had been attacked together with activist Rasha Azab by supporters of the president.
In response, Mohamed ElBaradei condemned the violence on Twitter, saying, "Vicious attack vs peaceful protesters in front of presidential palace without police protection. Regime leading Egypt into violence & bloodshed."
Meanwhile, the numbers of pro-Morsi supporters have been increasing outside the palace. A small truck accompanied the pro-Morsi demonstrators, mounted on which were loud-speakers calling on people to vote for the new constitution and carrying a banner reading "Yes to the constitution."
"The people support the president's decisions" and "Long live President Morsi; the martyrs' blood was not shed in vain," the pro-Morsi loyalists chanted.
A few opposition protesters could still be seen standing nearby, although clashes appear to have subsided. The atmosphere, however, remains tense with limited scuffles breaking out intermittently.
Ambulances have arrived at the scene in anticipation of possible injuries.
Pro-Morsi supporters could be seen wiping anti-Morsi graffiti off the palace's walls.
On Tuesday, hundreds of thousands of protesters marched on the presidential palace to denounce Morsi's constitutional declaration and what they felt was an "authoritarian" draft constitution.
The Brotherhood has released a joint statement with nine other Islamist groups accusing anti-Morsi protesters of carrying out acts of vandalism

There are a lot of responsibilities in the day-to-day operation of running a business—collecting payments from your customers every month doesn't have to be one of them. Utilizing a simple invoicing software for small businesses might make all the difference for your company's workflow and bottom line.
Invoice processing can be a huge burden on a small business. The research group PhocusWright concluded that "The biggest drains on staff resources are invoice reconciliation and manual processing." A study released by the Institute of Finance & Management revealed that the cost of processing invoices manually can be 20x higher than processing them with automation tools. One of the most effective of these automation tools is invoicing software.
A simple invoicing software for small businesses provides a way for businesses to easily invoice customers and have their customers pay the invoices online, eliminating extra steps such as manual data entry and phone conversations with customers every month.
EBizCharge Connect brings together all the best features of an invoicing software to provide an intuitive and simple platform for both you and your customers.

EBizCharge Connect integrates seamlessly to your company's ERP/accounting software. When your customer makes a payment, it posts automatically to your Accounts Receivable (AR) and General Ledger (GL), eliminating the need for you to manually enter the information into your accounting software.
The EBizCharge Connect application keeps your customers' information safe with advanced tokenization technology. All sensitive information such as credit card numbers is transferred off-site to our secure, PCI-compliant payment gateway. The information in Connect is switched with "tokens" of useless data that function perfectly within the online portal, but cannot be used or decoded by hackers.
EBizCharge Connect also offers businesses the ability to customize the payment portal with their existing logo, creating a polished and professional platform for their customers to use.
We also offer a software integration called EBizCharge that allows you to run credit cards directly in your ERP/accounting software. Click here for the full list of ERPs that EBizCharge integrates to.

Switching Genders in MMOs
February 19, 2015 Marina TassiIRL
Even though from a young age me and my brother both played video games, he was the "real" gamer. I aspired to gain equal status, but never understood the difference between the hours he spent on the computer and the hours I spent on gameboy. One day, in my attempts to understand, I peeked over his shoulder and watched him play for about a half hour. The first thing I noticed to my surprise was that his avatar was wearing a skirt! Was my brother playing as a girl? When I asked him about it, he muttered a quick yes that implied that he wasn't gonna answer any more questions. I continued to watch as he traveled a 3D landscape killing monsters, cutting down trees, making armor, fishing, cooking; the game was much more complex than my simple side scrolling game of Mario. The next day, I decided to join the complexity that was Runescape! The first screen I was faced with in joining was the character creation screen. I decided that if my brother was a girl, I could be a boy. I created a blond, tan boy character called Xexna. It only took me a week before I was absolutely obsessed with the game. The update to Runescape 2.0 was one of the most memorable events of my gaming life and for my birthday all I wanted was the $5 a month membership so I could join the elite. It still took me until ~level 70 before my brother would start talking to me about the game.
The first thing he asked was how I was doing. When I told him I was level 70 already, it opened him up to an entire conversation. He wanted to see my character and armor, go on quests with me, and even friend me! I was ecstatic so I hurriedly opened my computer, went to log on screen, and signed in. Expecting praise for my high level armor set and weapon (rune with some dragon) I was shocked when the first thing my brother said was "Why are you a guy?"
It was then that I discovered he wasn't a girl because he aspired to be one. He was a girl because the armor skirts were cheaper than the armor legs. He was a girl because in the earlier levels of the game high level boys gifted you with items. He was a girl because in the wilderness (where there was player versus player) people were less likely to gang up against female characters. Essentially, male players thought that what they assumed were female players needed help and were not to be taken as seriously. He thought it was ridiculous that I wanted to play a male character because it only made the game harder for myself. I thought it was ridiculous that he wanted to be made a charity case and thought of as less just because of his avatar.
At the time, I didn't know what feminism or the patriarchy or sexism was. I didn't know any of that. All I knew is that I was happy to be a boy character because I wanted to be taken just as seriously (if not more) than my brother. Looking back at it, this was one of my first steps towards feminism. It was absolutely ridiculous that I had to hide under the mask of a male avatar to do so, but it opened me up to a wonderful new world and opened my eyes to the problem that both of my worlds faced: gender inequality.

This was a really great post to read. The concept of "Real Gamers" is a really interesting one and your brother throws a bit of a wrench in the commonly-held definition. I've been informed by online "Real Gamers" that casual is for new players (who are, of course, unwelcome in the gaming community) and Real Players only use hard (or survival, or nightmare, or whatever the hardest difficulty is) mode. Yet your brother created a strategy in which he could be playing on "easy", with gifts and a lessened likelihood of an unfair fight. A brilliant, if morally questionable, plan that has really neat reflections on society at large, which you mention in your bolded bit (which was fantastic).
The intersection of "Real Gamers" and misogyny is a really interesting one and playing alternate genders is equally fascinating. Out of curiosity I search "girls in MMOs", figuring that there'd be a forum since this is apparently a real strategy people use, and found this: [ http://www.giantbomb.com/forums/general-discussion-30/do-you-ever-pretend-to-be-a-girl-on-mmos-or-any-ot-503112/ ].
It's equal parts intellectually interesting, depressing, and funny.
The whole gifting female characters things definitely have a downside too, I always merced female characters in the wilderness because they had all the good stuff.

Curves to Kill...: Erstwilder my love!
Last year I opened my life to a bunch of adorable Little Critters and started what is going to be a life long addiction to the stunning and, lets face it, cute as a button creations of Erstwilder. This past season we have seen the debut of the rocking Diner range and lots of new editions to the forever growing line of super cute animals and items.
While I loved the Diner range, I missed out of my first loves from the 50's inspired Diner range I did get my hands on some super cute styles that I absolutely adore.
Just look how that little red octopus pops! I love that Erstwilder are creating both stand alone animals and little stories such as this. It's basically a story in brooch form.
I adore catseye glasses and after owning these peepers I need get myself a pink and white pair asap. Every time I wear this piece I can't get Jeepers Creepers out of my head and I'm ok with that. "Jeepers creepers, where did you get those peepers? Oh, those weepers, how they hypnotize! Where did you get those eyes?"
Then lastly, I have the cheeky Paulette ready to pounce. I'm not usually one to like poodles but there was something about Paulette and the polka dot print. I love how she is in an action pose (yoga pose as well) and how prim and proper she is. The one thing about all of the cat and dog brooches at Erstwilder that I love is that they are all perfectly captured sitting pretty in an almost regal way. They are the way we'd expect to see them and when you find out their individual names then their pose suits them even more so.
I love how the pink/fuchsia pops on the teal of my Heart of Haute dress and I'm actually loving this colour combination. Why have I never tried this before?
But if you can't find exactly what you need or you are on the hunt for an older more specific style be sure to check out the full list of stockists here. You can also check out more designs from the current collection via Erstwilder's website.

Security is the Heart of
any Election
Fair and democratic elections depend on strict and robust security measures that provide authenticated voters with secrecy, maintain ballot integrity, and allow for transparent auditability of all electoral processes. As private voting booths, ballot envelopes, and physical paper trails don't exist in online elections, alternative security protocols have been developed to ensure secrecy, integrity, and auditability when using online voting technology.
Security is the Heart
of any Election

Learn how the security behind the scenes works
and the importance of every element.
Assess the benefits that online voting technology
can offer you and your voters.
Determine how you can take advantage of the
technology's security and efficiency with confidence.
Security Table of Online Voting
Secrecy in elections means two things:
Privacy and Anonymity.
Privacy ensures that no unauthorized person gains access to the votes. It is provided in an online election through cryptography, or the practice of writing secure communication that only trusted parties can read and understand. Cryptography is used strategically in an online election to provide something analogous to a voting booth, allowing voters to select their choices without anyone else knowing what they are.
Anonymity guarantees that a ballot cannot be traced back to an individual voter and can be achieved through a few different methods in an online election, most often during the tallying phase. The most robust and secure processes are mixing and homomorphic tallying. As these processes both ensure that ballots cannot be traced back to the voters who cast them, much like a blank envelope in a paper-based election, the implementation of only one is necessary in an online election
Integrity in any election is founded upon the proper conduct of election processes.
Ensuring that votes are cast only by eligible voters, that those votes remain unmanipulated, that every voter casts only one ballot, and that electoral processes are easily auditable are all essential to the integrity of elections. Despite the fact that online elections involve numerous electronic processes that might seem invisible or hard to verify, the proper security measures can result in a transparent election with every step accounted for.
Auditability
Election auditability is dependent on election transparency.
Auditability in an online election consists of both individual voter-level verification, in which voters verify that their ballots were cast correctly and included in the final count, and broader public verification, where independent third parties can assess the proper conduct of electoral processes and verify the final tally. These two types of auditability are known as individual verifiability and universal verifiability, respectively.
Authentication ensures online eligible voters can cast ballots.
Since voters do not have their IDs physically checked at polling stations in an online election, alternative authentication methods have been developed to ensure that only registered voters can cast ballots through the online portal.
Online voting systems are often compatible with authentication methods that are already in use, like electronic ID cards. When this is not possible, an authentication method is developed to best suit the needs of the election.
Infrastructure comprises the physical pieces of an online voting system.
Although the majority of online voting security measures rely on digital and electronic means, there are some very important pieces of physical infrastructure that are necessary for a secure online election.
Security Table of
Privacy ensures that no unauthorized person gains access to the votes and is provided in an online election through cryptography, or the practice of writing secure communication that only trusted parties can read and understand. Cryptography is used strategically in an online election to provide something analogous to a voting booth, allowing voters to select their choices without anyone else knowing what they are.
Privacy can be thought of as a voting booth, or any method by which a voter can mark their ballot and have their decision known only to them. Anonymity, then, can be thought of as the blank envelope the voter puts their ballot in before casting it in the ballot box. Even though the voter identified themselves as an eligible voter, this envelope breaks all ties between the voter's identity and their ballot, keeping their vote anonymous.
We are pleased with Scytl Voter Education, an end-to-end public communications website that is manageable through a web-based content management system. The overall solution delivery was successful, and as a result, I would recommend Scytl as a potential partner for other entities considering projects of this kind.

Now we are able to provide a consistent user experience and training for all workers...The overall delivery and performance has been very successful. We highly recommend Scytl for any such project in the future.
-Marci Andino, Executive Director of the South Carolina Election Commission, South Carolina
Our office loves Scytl ENR because it saves us time and work. The system is so easy to use, and the team – especially Maria – is a joy to work with and helps take some of the election stress off my plate. Before this, the room would be full of people on Election Night, and now nobody comes in. Everybody sits at home and watches the results come in.
Laura Wise | Election Administrator | Wood County, TX
Our previous Election Night Reporting (ENR) was unavailable and we had just 3 weeks to come to a solution. Scytl stepped up to the plate and had us up and running in time for the election. Not only that, our ENR has never looked better. The technology and support were unexpected.
-Kevin Tunell, Communications Director, Yuma County, AZ
I want to thank Scytl for their support during the 2016 Election. It has been great to work with you. We were all extremely pleased with Scytl Election Night Reporting...I know that it contributed to the overall positive perception of how our election processes and services were experienced.

The economy is booming and we here at The National Center for Outdoor & Adventure Education (NCOAE) find ourselves in the position of seeking a few part-time instructors. Specifically, we're looking for instructors to supplement our expanding team of EMT professionals who teach courses at our North Carolina headquarters. Among the many courses we offer is an intensive 19-day EMT-Basic course that satisfies eligibility requirements for the National Registry and NC EMT certification. These classes meet Mondays through Fridays with an additional 24 hours of clinical and field practice on either Saturday or Sunday.
If you know anything about us, you know we pride ourselves with employing some of the very best instructors in the industry, and that includes instructors who are also EMT-paramedics, firefighters, military operations specialists, and experts in critical care management.
Come early October, more than 100 seventh and eighth graders — along with an experienced crew of outdoor educators from The National Center for Outdoor & Adventure Education (NCOAE) — will be camping under the stars in Southern California's Joshua Tree National Park.
The only thing missing from this scenario are the outdoor educators, and if you meet the requirements, you could be spending Oct. 7-9 with 120 youngsters, staring up into a full moon, which, by the way, we are also providing for this particular NCOAE course.
As you're probably learning right now, NCOAE is a well-respected source for outdoor adventure and education for teens and adults who are interested in personal growth and professional and educational development. And the three-day excursion to Joshua Tree will feature one NCOAE staff member for each teacher and 10 students.
That's where you come in. If hired for this course, you will be responsible for facilitating a meaningful and safe outdoor education experience for some of these young outdoor explorers. What this entails is teaching specific aspects of the NCOAE curriculum — and not to worry because we'll be providing paid training for that.
If you've spent any amount of time surfing our website or reading this blog, you know that working at The National Center for Outdoor & Adventure Education (NCOAE) is more than just a job. It's a reward.
Working at NCOAE is a reward for many things, including: superior performance elsewhere; having a keen understanding of emotional intelligence and its impact on group dynamics; and, successfully teaching and guiding youths and adults in remote wilderness locations. Along the way, those who master technical outdoor skills – as evidenced by earning highly sought after certifications from organizations like the American Mountain Guides Association (AMGA) and the American Canoe Association (ACA) – also find that their hard work and dedication is potentially rewarded with an opportunity to work at The National center for Outdoor & Adventure Education.
In other words, working as an NCOAE outdoor educator, instructor or administrative staffer isn't possible for everyone who applies. Instead, our employment openings – some of which are referenced below – are only available for the best of the best.


Garden Walls Make Beautiful Outdoor Rooms!
Garden Walls provide the utmost privacy! Their solid surface gives security from peeking eyes and wandering animals. They are structures of permanence, built to last for many years.
Architecturally, they provide an opportunity to combine the look of the house with the garden by using the same building materials in both structures. This is such a nice detail and it's the details that make an exceptional project! This white brick garden wall is the same brick as used in the house. It couldn't compliment the house better. The enclosure has created an incredible courtyard living space for this family complete with pond and wall fountain.
Garden Walls are a masonry product most commonly built of brick or stone. Concrete block walls are also seen, but do not provide as finished a look. A block wall can receive a stucco finish or be painted which adds to its appeal.
I specify a 12-inch thick wall for any structure over 6 feet. At these heights, they look in better proportion (not like they'll topple over) and are stronger. A proper reinforced concrete footing and structural steel in the wall is necessary.
A wooden, English lattice topper on this wall allowed extra height to be added to an existing wall. Because of the construction of the wall, we couldn't add more brick. The topper allows the owner to get the extra height for additional privacy. An urban oasis has been born!
The height of the garden wall makes an impression on the overall design of the outdoor room. In some cases, a wall as tall as the building inspector allows is what is desired. Even at these heights, additional privacy may be needed. Notice in the top photograph how the planting of tall evergreen trees behind the white brick wall gives the utmost privacy.
Shorter wall heights of 3 or 4 feet may be the most appropriate height for a small area. The wall adds a nice architectural detail and allows the addition of a decorative gate. Plants can provide additional privacy where needed.
This garden wall enclosed a corner off the house making a seating garden off the master bedroom. The height of the wall is low, so the owners can look over the wall to enjoy the views of their property. The gate is black powder coated aluminum. I purposely centered the gate on the arched window. The wall gains height at the corner giving the wall interest and allowing a nice detail for the front of the house. This brick pillar eventually received a light fixture.
The wall cap is the finishing course along the top of the wall. Often it is of another material other than the wall, but does complement and blend with the wall and house. There are many brick shapes that can give a brick wall a distinctive look. On all types of walls, overhanging the cap by about an inch is attractive. The cap can step out in ½ inch increments as well. The pillar at the end of the brick wall above has a cap that steps in increments to create an interesting finial to the brick pillar.
Mortar (the concrete-like substance used between brick & stone) comes in a variety of colors. Ideally, they need to be a color that blends with the brick or stone. It looks especially nice for the mortar in the garden wall to match the mortar used in the house. This makes a smooth transition between the two structures.
This stone wall steps down the hill and encloses a wonderful herb garden and seating area in front of an outdoor fireplace. Deer eating the landscape plants are a problem here. This wall not only creates a cozy outdoor room, but also keeps the deer away from their garden. The house is stone and wood which is repeated in the garden wall and arbor.
The view inside the walls shows a place that you can spend time in all seasons doing anything from dining to relaxing in the hot tub. The structural elements of this outdoor room are designed by Dan Ensminger, a well-known Richmond, VA architect.
Do you have a landscape design problem? I would like to help! Ask a question and you will get a quick response. You will get a page on the site dedicated to the topic, so friends and readers can be educated too. I hope to be hearing from you!

NSMQ 2021: We were cheated during Grande Finale – Presec contestants lament
The contestants from the Presbyterian Boys' Secondary School Legon (Presec-Legon) in the just-ended 2021 National Science and Maths (NSMQ) have disclosed that they were cheated during the Grande Finale of the contest which was held on Friday, November 26, 2021, at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in Kumasi.
Speaking to UniversNews at the school's 83rd Speech and Prize Giving Day which took place the following day, the contestants, Prince Appiah Debrah Junior, Henry Mawunya Otumfuo, and Joel Yayra Aboagye explained that their defeat to Prempeh College at the finals was because of the unfairness meted out to them by the organizers and Quiz mistress during the contest.
"The feeling of having to learn and then come only for you to get cheated is really hurtful. During the problem of the Day, the people got time to think about it after the whole thing was over but then they were still given time to write, and I can say that a similar thing happened to us at the Quarterfinals but what happened, they never gave us time to change our mistakes and because of that we got nine out of ten, we ought to have gotten ten if given that time back," they said.
Reacting to this, Vice-President of the Old Student Association of the school, Odade3 Dr. Eric Asante-Darko called on the organizers of the program to put in measures in order to ensure fairness and equity in subsequent editions.
He also called on Primetime production to put in efforts to restore the integrity of the program.
"We are going to lodge a protest against whatever it is. We know it might not result in a re-run of the event but the protest if it achieves nothing at all will let them sit up for the consultants, Quiz mistress, and the organizers to know that, the need to be reformed to ensure that there is fairness.''
He further expressed confidence in the students and hoped for Presec to win the competition next year.
"Next year competition we are going to prepare as we always do, we believe in our God because He is the Omnipotent and Omniscient and we believe in our boys and we are going to prepare as usual and go but we are going to very keen."
The 2021 National Science and Maths Quiz Grande Finale was won by Prempeh College after beating Keta Senior High School, and Presbyterian Boys Secondary School with 53 points.
During the Problem of the Day round of the contest, the contestants from Prempeh College were given 15 extra seconds to complete their work after the duration of the segment had elapsed.
This was because the contestants claim they has a fault with their monitor during the round.
At the end of that round Prempeh College scored 10 with Presec and Ketasco scoring 7.
Prempeh College emerged winners at the end of the contest.
This becomes the fifth win for the school after winning its first trophy in 1994 when the competition first started.

Shorts watched January 2011
February 1, 2011 by Brandon·Comments Off on Shorts watched January 2011
Monsieur Fantomas (1937, Ernst Moerman)
This was the prize short of the month… good show, Moerman. Takes the dream-logic, intense crimes and crazy escapes of Feuillade and goes all-out surrealist with them. The master criminal lives in a room with no walls on the beach (much of the movie takes place on the beach), seeks out his true love Elvire. Chief Juve is roused from the bathtub, consults with some seashells and heads buried in the sand. A hundred delightful things happen then it closes with the title card "end of the 280,000th chapter." Made in Belgium, and I'm very sorry that Moerman didn't shoot any more films. There really needed to be more surrealist cinema.
The cops close in on Fantomas… but is it really him, or just a cello?
Dinner For One (1963)
Shot in Germany, and shown traditionally every year on television since, a beloved little sketch in which a butler sets the table for an old woman's absent guests, drinking toasts in each of their places and getting roaring drunk as he continues to perform his duties.
May Warden and Freddie Frinton:
The Spine (2009, Chris Landreth)
Group marital counseling + codependency, slowly coheres into a story. I didn't like it nearly as much as his short Ryan.
Three by Sally Potter
These shorts predate Thriller by almost a decade, early film experiments not having much in common with her features – well, perhaps slightly with The Gold Diggers, which I started watching but haven't finished.
Hors d'oeuvres (1972)
Silent avant-garde film, a flickering light shines on still photographs, then slow, unstable film footage of one person at a time in a bare room. Dance movements, slowed down then paused, superimpositions, the light pulsating. Lasted about twice as long as my willingness to appreciate it.
Play (1970)
Also silent, two cameras high up at different angles capture the same scenes of children playing on the sidewalk, at first presented side-by-side simulatenously, then re-edited, slowed down and chopped up.
Jerk (1969)
Faces, sped up and extremely rapidly edited. This was my favorite. I wonder if Potter considered the film's motion to be "jerky" or if she thought this guy was a jerk.
Father (1977, Shuji Terayama)
a one-take silent sex scene that turns into a pleasant slideshow, featuring video superimpositions of a hand and the back of a head. No audio on my copy.
La Chambre (1972, Chantal Akerman)
Four slow pans around a cramped apartment, fully silent. First the director flutters her eyes at us from bed, then she is wriggling around, then playing absently with an apple, then – change of camera direction! – eating the apple, as the camera finally realizes she's the only thing of interest in the room and starts rocking back and forth, homing in on her bed.
Birds Anonymous (1957, Friz Freleng)
"Birds is strictly for the birds."
Just an average tweety and sylvester short, some kind of parody of werewolf movies and alcoholics anonymous, as far as I can tell. Wonder why this was on my laptop. And what is alum?
Playback (1970, Pere Portabella)
Two cameras, and you can see each in the other's shot as they circle a composer who is arranging his unconventional choir piece, chattering constantly in unsubtitled Catalan. It's all kind of exciting. I don't know anything about Portabella, but I like his shooting style so far.
From the filmmaker's official site:
Playback is presented as a short rehearsal in a double sense. It is a satellite of the constellation of works that Portabella dedicates to the analysis of the "materiality" of aesthetic and cultural languages (Vampir-Cuadecuc and Miró l'Altre among others can also be understood in this manner). At the same time, he analyzes the rehearsals that Carles Santos carries out for the playback recording of a film on the work of Antoni Gaudi. The choir of the Gran Teatro del Liceu of Barcelona reads fragments from Wagner's Tannhauser, Lohengrin and the Valkyries. The film was shot in the theater "Lluïsos de Gràcia".
Two Portraits (1981, Peter Thompson)
The director narrates a series of one-sentence statements about his father, as we see consecutive film frames cross dissolving. "His oldest son died at age 31. The decision to have children was left to his wife, as were all decisions except those concerning money."
Second portrait is of his mother, filmed sleeping outdoors, while on the audio she reads pages from her diary. The first half was far more illuminating and sympathetic. I'm not sure what to do with the second part, but as with all of Thompson's films that I've seen, I'd be glad to watch it again.
First portrait:
From Chicago Magazine: "When Peter Thompson was 35, his father committed suicide. That tragedy 29 years ago sent the Columbia College professor searching for Super 8 film of his father. He found only 12 seconds' worth, but stretched them out to 17 minutes and added narration. When he expanded it to include his mother, the resulting film, Two Portraits, moved audiences to tears."
Second portrait:
Month of 121 Shorts: Animation
November 28, 2009 by Brandon·Comments Off on Month of 121 Shorts: Animation
Allegretto (1943, Oskar Fischinger)
All colored diamonds and circles, so lovely. In close sync with the music, where in Motion Painting #1 the music seems an afterthought.
Motion Painting No. 1 (1947, Oskar Fischinger)
Like it says, a motion painting – oil on glass, all small rectangles and big spirals. In The Mystery of Picasso the tension was in figuring how the painting would be finished, where he was heading, but in this the fun is in getting from one intermediate step to another. The process is the destination. There should be more of these!
Franz Kafka (1992, Piotr Dumala)
Is the movie supposed to be making that sound of a cat in heat beneath the music, or is my laptop freaking out? Dark and scratchy and slow-moving, nothing actually happening. Oh wait, there's some sex. Fulfills almost all of the Robyn Hitchcock holy keywords: sex, food and insects (what, no death?). I'm sure it's very technically accomplished but I found it dreary and ponderous. The filmmaker made a plaster-scratch version of Crime and Punishment eight years later (or more likely he worked on it for all eight years).
Tales from the Far Side (1994, Marv Newland)
Very inessential, slow-paced animated half-hour of Far Side cartoons. Really the most interesting bit is seeing Marv Newland's name, 25 years after his seminal Bambi Meets Godzilla. Either he's no longer a master of timing, or there was too much Gary Larson interference… or maybe you just can't turn a single-panel comic strip into a 30-minute TV special. Doonesbury worked out, but that was talky and story-driven to begin with.
Mr. Prokouk Shoots a Movie (1948, Karel Zeman)
Czech short, part of a whole series of Mr. Prokouk adventures.
Prokouk is pointing at us, telling us to get off our asses and join the workforce!
The Monkey's Teeth (1960, Rene Laloux)
Intro is a three-minute doc of a group-therapy institution for depressed people, what follows is an animation of the film they wrote together. Sad man has a toothache, goes to a dentist who steals his teeth to sell to rich people (I wouldn't think the teeth of the poor would be worth much, but maybe in France everyone practices excellent dental care). When the monkey wizard bicycles by, I figured the dentist would be put in his place and the stolen teeth returned, and that's just what happens but first the sad man gets chased into a high school by some cops who get turned into children. Hmmm.
Dimensions of Dialogue (1982, Jan Svankmajer)
It's been too long since I've watched my Svankmajer shorts. This is an all-time fave. Faces made of identifiable objects consume each other, becoming smoother until they resemble human heads. Two clay humans make love, create an unwanted clay baby then destroy each other. And so on. Not one for brevity, J.S. takes everything to its conclusion and explores all permutations of his object manipulations – this is what makes his features seem so tedious, but his shorts seem so excellently complicated.
Flora (1989, Jan Svankmajer)
A clay person tied to a bed and covered in rotting fruit and veg tries to reach a glass of water. Only a few seconds long, made for MTV (that's czech for WTF).
Food (1992, Jan Svankmajer)
Oooh I love stop-motion using live actors. Guy enters a room facing a paralysed robot guy, reads instructions hanging on his neck (which are actually an MTV entry form: "Entrant must send a VHS or U-Matic, etc."), manipulates the guy (puts money in his mouth, receives a sausage and mustard from chest, utensils from ears), then the robot guy leaves and the eater takes his place. Two guys sit at a restaurant, can't get service so they eat their own clothes and the table. Finally, people are made gourmet meals of their own severed body parts. A classic, obviously.
I Love To Singa (1936, Tex Avery)
"Enough is too much!" An old favorite. Owl Jolson is of course a parody of The Jazz Singer, which I've still never seen. Jazz and owls: a combination you don't see often enough.
Point Rationing of Foods (1943, Chuck Jones)
An extra tucked away on a Looney Tunes DVD, explaining the wartime canned food rationing system to the public through cheap quickie animation. Helpful to me, since I never bothered to learn how rationing worked before. Also tucked away is the Tashlin-penned The Bear That Wasn't, probably not because of its unworthiness but because it was made at a different studio.
I Haven't Got a Hat (1935, Friz Freling)
A variety show of children performers, with hijinks. Porky's first appearance – the studio intended for a more generic troublemaker character (below, right) to take over, but the public demanded a shy stutterer instead. The title song is catchy, anyway.
Roof Sex (2003, PES)

HMS Eclipse – krążownik pancernopokładowy, jednostka prototypowa swojego typu, zbudowany dla Royal Navy pod koniec lat 90. XIX wieku. Uczestniczył w I wojnie światowej. Przystosowany w 1916 roku do roli hulku, pełnił tę funkcję do końca wojny, a w 1921 roku został sprzedany na złom.

Projekt i dane taktyczno-techniczne
HMS "Eclipse" był pierwszym z dziewięciu zbudowanych w latach 1896-99 krążowników pancernopokładowych, nazwanych od niego typem Eclipse. Okręty te były bezpośrednim następcą krążowników typu Astraea. Miały większe rozmiary i wyporność, otrzymały silniejsze uzbrojenie i opancerzenie przy zachowaniu podobnej do poprzedników prędkości.

HMS "Eclipse" miał wyporność 5690 t (5600 długich ton) przy długości całkowitej 113,7 m, szerokości 16,3 m i zanurzeniu 6,25 m. Był napędzany dwoma trójcylindrowymi pionowymi maszynami parowymi potrójnego rozprężania, z których każda poruszała jedną śrubę napędową. Parę dostarczało 8 opalanych węglem kotłów. Silniki osiągały moc 8000 KM, co dawało prędkość 18,5 węzła (na próbach przy przeciążeniu maszyn osiągnięto 19,5 węzła przy 9600 KM). Normalny zapas węgla wynosił 550 t, a maksymalnie okręt mógł zabrać niemal dwa razy więcej paliwa, bo 1075 ton. Załoga okrętu składała się z 393 oficerów i marynarzy.

Krążownik był uzbrojony w pięć pojedynczych dział kal. 152 mm (6 cali), sześć dział kal. 120 mm (4,7 cala), sześć dział trzyfuntowych (47 mm), trzy wyrzutnie torped kal. 450 mm (18 cali) oraz dwa karabiny maszynowe. Pancerz pokładowy miał grubość od 38 do 76 mm (1,5 - 3 cale), wieża dowodzenia miała ściany grubości do 152 mm, zaś maszynownię chroniły płyty o grubości 152 mm. Działa artylerii głównej były chronione osłonami o grubości 76 mm.

Służba
Stępkę okrętu położono w Portsmouth Dockyard 11 grudnia 1893 roku, wodowanie odbyło się 19 lipca 1894, a do służby okręt wszedł 23 marca 1897 roku. Dowództwo okrętu objął capitain P. W. Bush. W 1899 roku krążownik stacjonował w Indiach, będąc jednostką flagową admirała Daya Bosanqueta. Od 1901 roku krążownik służył w Chinach. Następnie skierowany został do rezerwy, stacjonując w Portsmouth do 1906 roku. W latach 1907-12 krążownik służył w Szkole Oficerów Marynarki Wojennej w Osborne, zaś w latach 1912-14 był częścią składową rezerwowej 3 Floty stacjonując w Portsmouth i Devonport. Na początku 1914 roku eskortował płynące do Australii pierwsze okręty podwodne RAN - HMAS AE1 i HMAS AE2.

W momencie wybuchu I wojny światowej HMS "Eclipse" (wraz z bliźniaczym HMS "Talbot") wchodził w skład 12. Eskadry Krążowników, której zadaniem była ochrona żeglugi na zachodnich podejściach do kanału La Manche (tzw. Force "G"). 10 sierpnia 1914 roku okręt zatrzymał i zdobył niemiecki statek handlowy, a 10 września jego łupem padł kolejny statek.

Od 1916 roku, jako jednostka pomocnicza, krążownik pełnił rolę okrętu-bazy dla marynarzy okrętów podwodnych. Okręt wycofano ze służby na przełomie 1918 i 1919 roku, a następnie sprzedano go na złom w sierpniu 1921 roku.

The biggest advantage of using sole proprietorship as a business entity is its simplicity. Still, a taxpayer can easily over-pay taxes if all available deductions aren't taken. Medical professionals are a good example of business owners that need to pay special attention to the Schedule C IRS Form in order to prevent their sole proprietor businesses from making costly tax errors.
Schedule C provides 25 separate categories for deductions which can be used to offset income from the business. One of the most common oversights by sole proprietors is failure to claim all business expenses as deductions. Physicians are as susceptible to this pitfall as any other type of business owner. Among the types of expenses physicians frequently fail to deduct are travel, license fees, dues, subscriptions, and continuing education costs.
Fortunately, this mistake is easy to avoid with a sound bookkeeping system that captures all business activity. Establishing separate checking, credit and debit card accounts for the business is an important first step. It's much easier to accurately and completely capture deductions from a complete dataset than to pick through combined business and personal purchases (sometimes months after you've incurred them) to figure out what should be included on the Schedule C.
Our clients often find QuickBooks an indispensable tool for their bookkeeping, accounting, and payroll activities. QuickBooks has accounting packages available that have been especially customized for healthcare professionals. Whether you use QuickBooks or some other tool for capturing business transactions, the key is to keep everything in one place.
Once capturing all the business-related transactions is accomplished, there are several types of costs that require further analysis to determine what amounts can be deducted.
Equipment purchases. Equipment purchases must be reported on a separate tax form and evaluated for complete deduction in the year of purchase, or depreciated over a period of time. The deduction applies to most business property, including software and medical tools. Capturing these investments is worth the effort, as a substantial portion of the costs is often available for deduction.
Home office deduction. Sole proprietors often shy away from taking a home office deduction because of perceptions of audit risk. However, if the business owner is legitimately entitled to the deduction, it can be significant. In order to qualify for the deduction, a home office must be the business's PRIMARY office AND used exclusively for business purposes, and nothing else. This could be a dedicated room, or even part of a room that's used just for the business.
Tax deferred retirement. There are several options available for physicians who operate as sole proprietorships to deduct at least a portion of the contributions as business expenses and for those contributions to grow, tax-deferred, until they are withdrawn for retirement. Choosing the right plan is beyond the scope of this blog post, and takes careful thought and consideration. The key point here is to be aware of the options and to make the most of them in financial planning.
Charitable contributions. Deductible charitable donations aren't limited to cash contributions, and helpful physicians often fail to capture the full benefit from their benevolent activities. For example, a doctor donating a piece of used medical equipment can deduct its fair market value. And while taxpayers cannot deduct the value of their donated time, they may deduct the costs–such as automobile mileage, medical supplies, etc.–of providing those volunteer service hours.
As a sole proprietor, charitable donations are reported on Schedule A as personal expenses, not on Schedule C as business expenses. However, amounts paid to a service for charity, such as advertising at an awards program, are Schedule C business expenses, not Schedule A charitable contributions. This distinction is important because Schedule A only comes into play when the taxpayer itemizes deductions, whereas business expenses on Schedule C are deductible from the first dollar. There are also limits on the dollar value of charitable contributions that do not apply to business expenses.
At 212 Tax & Accounting Services, we provide professional accounting and tax preparation services to businesses and individuals in Manhattan and the New York City metropolitan area. Our business clients span several different industries, including medical professionals.

Kezia Dugdale: Why I have quit as leader of the Scottish Labour Party
Kezia Dugdale
Earlier this year, I lost a dear friend who taught me a lot about how to live. His terminal illness forced him to identify what he really wanted from life, how to make the most of it and how to make a difference. He taught me how precious and short life was, and to never waste a moment.
Being leader has always been a difficult but fulfilling challenge. One that until now I have enjoyed, driven by a clear guiding purpose and goals, many of which I have achieved. I am proud of the fact that I've demonstrated how the parliament's powers can be used to stop austerity with progressive taxes and the creation of new benefits. Proud to have advanced the call for federalism across the UK. Proud to have delivered real autonomy for the Scottish Labour Party and a guaranteed voice for Scotland and Wales on the NEC.
Educational inequality is the number one issue in Scottish politics after the constitution because Scottish Labour under my leadership put it there.
I am proud to have delivered 50/50 slates of amazing and diverse candidates in both the Scottish and U.K. Elections and equally proud to have invested in the next generation of labour activists and parliamentarians with leadership programmes. These have already furnished us with two of our magnificent seven MPs. With that re-established Scottish Labour group at Westminster, and a talented and effective group in Holyrood, Scottish Labour has a bright future.
A marker of success for me was to leave as leader with the party in better shape than I found it and I have done that.
Emerging from the challenging times following the 2014 referendum, and the 2015 UK election, we now have a solid platform on which to build towards success, and government.
I have given the task of achieving this all that I have. But with nearly four years now until the next Scottish Parliament elections, I am convinced that the party needs a new leader with fresh energy, drive and a new mandate to take the party into that contest.
Too often our leaders leave in a crisis, with scores to settle. I love this party too much for that to be my way. There will be no press conference and no off the record briefing in my name. I choose to stand down because I believe it is best for me and best for Scottish Labour, at a time when we can be positive and optimistic about our future.
I remain in awe of all those party activists who devote their time to this movement without pay or reward. I thank them for their belief in me.

By Saurabh Sharma and Rupam Jain
UDAIPUR/MUMBAI, India (Reuters) – Indian police on Saturday made new arrests over the murder of a Hindu tailor in Rajasthan, sparking tensions between the Hindu majority and Muslim minority and cracking down on protests and the internet to escalate to prevent.
Two Muslim men already jailed for the murder, who filmed the act and posted it online, said it was in response to the victim's support for a politician's derogatory remarks about the Prophet Muhammad.
The victim, Kanhaiya Lal Teli, allegedly made a social media post supporting Nupur Sharma, a former spokesman for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's party who made anti-Islamic comments in May.
Three senior police officials said on Saturday that two other Rajasthan-based Muslim men were being held at his shop in Udaipur, a popular tourist destination, for plotting to kill Teli.
"We have now arrested the two masterminds and previously we arrested two men who committed the heinous crime," said Prafulla Kumar, a senior police official based in Udaipur.
Kumar said internet services were gradually being restored and security forces remained on alert.
An angry mob, including some lawyers, punched and shoved the four suspects in the murder case as they were brought before a court on Saturday.
Judges at India's Supreme Court on Friday said Sharma must apologize to the nation as a whole after her remarks deepened religious fault lines in India, angered Islamic nations and sparked diplomatic tensions.
Local media reported a separate incident on June 21 in which a chemist was stabbed to death in the western state of Maharashtra for allegedly supporting Sharma's comments on social media.
"Five people have been arrested in connection with the pharmacist's murder and a search is underway for the main suspect," Aarti Singh, a senior regional police officer, was quoted as saying by the local press.
The story goes on
PLEASE REJECTED
Singh said the reasons for the murder have yet to be determined.
At least two protesters were shot dead by police in India during protests against Sharma's remarks.
In Afghanistan, the militant group Islamic State last month claimed that an attack on a Sikh temple, killing at least two people and wounding seven, was in response to insults to the Prophet Muhammad in India.
Police in New Delhi arrested journalist Mohammed Zubair, a vocal critic of the Modi government who helped draw attention to Sharma's remarks through his fact-checking website Alt News and on social media.
Zubair's request for bail was denied on Saturday and a local court sentenced him to two weeks in prison, a court order said.
The National Investigative Agency (NIA) – India's leading counter-terrorism agency – said it was conducting an investigation into Teli's murder.
A senior NIA official in New Delhi said agents were interviewing Muslims linked to the four defendants in Udaipur to see if they had ties to militant networks.
Muslims, who live about 3 kilometers from the tailor shop, said they were nervous and feared a social and economic boycott by powerful Hindus living in Udaipur.
"I know what was done is barbaric, but the community should not be held responsible for the actions of two people," said Mohammad Farukh, a medical official who lives in a Muslim-dominated area of the city.
The All India Muslim Personal Law Board called the incident "highly condemnable", adding that it violated both Indian law and Islamic regulations.
