HMRC and the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) have launched a new joint enforcement notice to cut out misleading marketing by promoters of tax avoidance schemes.
The joint enforcement notice aims to disrupt the activity of promoters and protect individuals from being presented with misleading adverts which may tempt them into tax avoidance.
The enforcement notice requires promoters to be clear about the potential consequences of tax avoidance in any online adverts.
Immediate sanctions include having their paid advertising removed from search engines and follow-up compliance action, which can include referral to Trading Standards. The enforcement notice has been published as HMRC launches its 'Tax avoidance: don't get caught out' awareness campaign warning and educating contractors about how to identify if they are being offered a tax avoidance scheme, and the pitfalls of using these schemes.
Jesse Norman MP, the Financial Secretary to the Treasury, said:
'The government has made clear its determination to clamp down on the promoters of tax avoidance schemes.'
'Today HMRC and the ASA are taking an important further step in this direction by action against misleading advertisements by promoters.'
'As always, we would encourage people to pay close attention to HMRC's warnings not to enter tax avoidance schemes. If it looks too good to be true, it almost certainly is.'

When I was about 16 I decided that I was going to get really serious about skincare and make it my mission to age gracefully. I always wash my face before bed, and I was the little weirdo who applied moisturizer and eye cream at sleepovers, at college, and even if I'd been out late and just wanted to collapse into my bed.
The area where long term skincare goals are the hardest to justify for me is eye cream. I'm totally on the fence about eye cream - is it necessary? If it is, what makes a good eye cream? I was an eye cream user for a long time, and then I took a break because I just didn't think it was making a difference. Then my eye area got very, very dry, and a bit dark and puffy, and I thought, "Dammit, maybe those expensive pots of moisturizer really are working."
The one eye cream that I found to be really effective in all my trials is Algenist Complete Eye Renewal Balm. It's also $68 for 0.5oz. That's just not feasible for me, especially when you consider that my undereyes look fine, I'm just trying to keep it right and tight for the next 50 years.
Then I found out that uber affordable, trendy skincare brand The Ordinary had an undereye serum that retailed for a whopping $6.70, and I couldn't get my skincare loving paws on it fast enough. There are a few outlets in the US where you can buy The Ordinary, but I purchased the Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG and the Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 ($6.80) from Sephora (currently online only, and frequently out of stock).
I had no idea if this would work, or if I'd like it, but for just under $7 why not give it a shot? Not only does this caffeine solution work - it's so easy to swipe under your eyes that I actually use it twice a day without fail. As someone who gets incensed when eye creams are labeled with "keep away from eye area," I'd like to add that I've managed to get this serum on my literal eyeball, and while it stings a bit on initial contact, it's not bad at all. I've even gotten it in my eye while I've been wearing my contacts, and it was perfectly ok. You can get this right up IN your eye area, as God intended.
This serum is so affordable that it'd be perfectly acceptable if you needed to buy it every month, but because you only need a drop or two for each application it lasts forever. I've had this little bottle for at least two months and I'm maybe a third of the way through it. I apply a drop or two to a ring finger, rub my other ring finger on it to spread the product, then lightly sweep my two fingers under my eyes. The product will go on a little wet, and I just let it dry for about a minute. Voila! So easy! My puffiness has definitely gone down, and I never had severe dark circles, but my undereye area is brighter and concealer applies easier. All for $7!
Note: The Ordinary has some issues, and you may consider it too controversh for your taste. Here is an article explaining what's up, and here's a follow up.

August means dial-out time for vacationers and back-to-school chaos for families. But while many Illinoisans were occupied elsewhere, this August has revealed two insights that the pols -— especially incumbents nervous about re-election — don't want to see conjoined.
The first revelation explains, in a way we've not seen before, how methodically Illinois officials dumped so much debt and unfunded pension obligation on taxpayers. Business economist Thomas Walstrum at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago examined a quarter-century's combined overspending by Illinois state and local governments, the big ones in and around Chicago included.
Each of those governments wants taxpayers to think of its rising debt in unthreatening isolation; Walstrum's method instead frames all this overspending as one combined wallop with long-term consequences for Illinois taxpayers.
Walstrum reports that while the typical U.S. state was spending an average of 5.7 percent more, year after year, than it had in revenue — a foolish habit, we think — Illinois governments together were spending 15.9 percent more than they had available.
Imagine the compounded effect of overspending your income by 15.9 percent, year after year. Three-fourths of that overspending went to, yes, fat pension promises and other retirement costs. Another big expense: rising interest payments on all this rising debt.
Walstrum doesn't go here, but in countless cases that lavish spending, especially in sweetheart pension deals for public employees' unions, bought incumbents the votes, campaign contributions and Election Day muscle that got them re-elected time and again.
Not only did the public officials spend other people's money, they spent money that didn't exist. To cover their tracks, they borrowed vast sums and knowingly underfunded the very pensions they had sweetened.
That sleight of hand wasn't so visible when plush investment returns propped up Illinois' public pension funds. The funds were earning annual averages of 8 percent, give or take. So the funds baked those returns into their future projections: As long as returns were 8 percent or so, the funds could stay solvent.
Legislative leaders and governors loved rosy projections; they could repeatedly underfund the pensions. $o they had more $$ to $pend on $exier $tuff!
Which foreshadowed this August's second revelation: Softer stock market returns and the Federal Reserve's long clampdown on interest rates are pushing U.S. public pension fund returns to their lowest levels ever. Lousy returns deprive fund managers of money to reinvest and pressure them to lower their too-optimistic forecasts.
Pols and union officials hate that; it frightens retirees and makes taxpayers pay even more into the funds.
This conflict was on display Friday as the Teachers Retirement System, Illinois' biggest fund, cut its expected annual returns for the third time in four years, from 7.5 to 7 percent. And TRS' return for the fiscal year just ended? Not quite 1 percent. Ouch. Gov. Bruce Rauner and some legislators are fuming about the extra $400 million or more that taxpayers must pay into TRS to offset weakening returns.
But the blame doesn't belong with TRS. It belongs with every Illinois politician, House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton included, who for many years promised but then didn't properly fund these pension plans — plans that would be affordable to taxpayers only when times were good.
Imagine the agony when Chicago taxpayers realize that all the higher taxes they have to pay probably won't fix the city's pension funds: When those funds, too, face reality and lower their expected returns, Mayor Rahm Emanuel and his successors will explain that the pension system needs, um, many more millions.
All of us can mull what the consequences should be for Illinois officials who (1) year after year spent $1.15 for every dollar they had, (2) didn't pay their pension and other expenses, and (3) now see higher taxes as their solution.
They knew they were risking the future of Illinois. Yet they kept inflating dangers. Smarter public officials would shift new hires into 401(k)-style plans. Instead, many incumbents see today's reckonings with debt and pensions not as crises they created, but as crises that simply happened.
Why change how Illinois does business? If only the pols who designed Illinois' downfall would say, Our fault. We knew better. We'll resign in disgrace. Say, do you plan to vote Nov. 8?

Level 1 is the Reformer class level following the Introductory Class. In this class the focus is on strengthening the abdominals and learning to stabilize your pelvis and spine while mastering the repertoire of Level 1 exercises. We recommend 15 - 20 sessions in Level 1 before asking your teacher if you are ready to be tagged for the Mixed Level Class. The Mixed Level requires spinal flexibility, good abdominal control as well as wrist and shoulder stability and strength to be able to handle the more advanced Pilates Reformer exercises. Keep this thought in mind...the more advanced you become and the more correct your technique and alignment becomes the more you realize that Level 1 is challenging when performed correctly!
Bobby is a tough instructor, but his classes are thoroughly worth it. He is also energetic, kind, and good about correcting form.
Great class! Friendly staff. Keeley was so kindly hands-on and helpful in working with everyone and their individual needs. She really mixed it up with chair work, in addition to the reformer.
As always, a class with Keeley leaves me stronger and happier.
I didn't really feel much of a workout, a lot more stretching than anything.
Good workout, attentive instructor. Didn't go the whole time though.
Richie is the best. Always a great playlist and a fun class!

Pinz, Sophia, Unser, Samy, Brueggemann, Susanne, Besl, Elisabeth, Al-Rifai, Nafisah, Petkes, Hermina, Amslinger, Sabine and Rascle, Anne (2014) The Synthetic alpha-Bromo-2',3,4,4'-tetramethoxychalcone (alpha-Br-TMC) Inhibits the JAK/STAT Signaling Pathway. PLoS ONE 9, e90275.
Signal transducer and activator of transcription STAT5 and its upstream activating kinase JAK2 are essential mediators of cytokine signaling. Their activity is normally tightly regulated and transient. However, constitutive activation of STAT5 is found in numerous cancers and a driving force for malignant transformation. We describe here the identification of the synthetic chalcone alpha-Br-2',3,4,4'-tetramethoxychalcone (alpha-Br-TMC) as a novel JAK/STAT inhibitor. Using the non-transformed IL-3-dependent B cell line Ba/F3 and its oncogenic derivative Ba/F3-1*6 expressing constitutively activated STAT5, we show that alpha-Br-TMC targets the JAK/STAT pathway at multiple levels, inhibiting both JAK2 and STAT5 phosphorylation. Moreover, alpha-Br-TMC alters the mobility of STAT5A/B proteins in SDS-PAGE, indicating a change in their post-translational modification state. These alterations correlate with a decreased association of STAT5 and RNA polymerase II with STAT5 target genes in chromatin immunoprecipitation assays. Interestingly, expression of STAT5 target genes such as Cis and c-Myc was differentially regulated by alpha-Br-TMC in normal and cancer cells. While both genes were inhibited in IL-3-stimulated Ba/F3 cells, expression of the oncogene c-Myc was down-regulated and that of the tumor suppressor gene Cis was up-regulated in transformed Ba/F3-1* 6 cells. The synthetic chalcone alpha-Br-TMC might therefore represent a promising novel anticancer agent for therapeutic intervention in STAT5-associated malignancies.


If you're a developer like us you'll likely be needing to grab a few bits of information here and there for your web applications. You'll also likely be needing this information from some other site or service, say Twitter or Facebook. If you've ever tried reading the documentation on these services and then had trouble actually using them, you are not alone.
Today we are releasing our Interactive API documentation powered by Django. With this app, you can add API groups, methods, and URLs to show off the power of your REST API right in the browser. It's much easier for you to play around with an example than for me to explain so you can see a quick demo of it at api.stegelman.com.
The interactive docs even support adding parameters that you can tie to one or many API calls. This makes adding repeated GET parameters like a response format or object limit, easy.
Overall, I think this type of documentation is an excellent resource to hand to your developers, and I think you'll see a dramatic reduction in the start up time for new developers to your APIs.
Thanks to the Mashery for the inspiration behind this wonderful concept.

This was a joint venture between Enel and F2i for the construction and operation of natural-gas storage fields.
The company was awarded the project to convert the Romanengo field (Cremona) to storage, with an availability for working gas of 272.7 Msm3 and a maximum peak flow of 3.4 Msm3/g.
This shareholding was sold in February 2012.


10 Post a week, holly molly! That is a lot, I just don't know how you did it, my schedule is relaxed this summer and I have to force myself sometimes to do just two or three a week.. blogging is such a creative release for me.
I took a similar approach, with my getting married and buying a new house... my time has been cut drastically short. I work anywhere from 40-60 hours a week... so yeah time is at a premium here.


Well this seems absurd to me. That makes seven cards banned in Standard. Six of them from the same block and one from the newest block. I never thought a simple land searcher would get banned. Or even a land. Ramunup Ruins was the Ramunup in Ramunup Red! Now I guess it's back to being called Red Deck Wins. It almost makes sense to me since it is a very powerful land. I wish we had a chance to see Blood Sun try to counter it though. The next banned and restricted update is in a few weeks. That seems like enough time to see if it helps.
This is also bad for your local game store. They need consumer confidence to keep people buying cards. But we've had seemingly constant Standard bans for the last year. Aetherworks Marvel, Emrakul, Felidar Guardian, Smugglers Copter. Don't forget the random Reflector Mage ban, too.
This means your local game store could make less money since it's harder to justify spending money on cards. And that goes for both the consumer and local store. If I'm a store owner I'm likely to be less aggressive in buying powerful Standard cards because if they get banned I have to eat the loss. There's a lot of things I like to eat but losses aren't one of them.
Then as a consumer why should I buy into Standard? If my deck gets "too good" they'll just ban it. You know, in the format that isn't supposed to have bans. I don't think this many cards have been banned in Standard since original Mirrodin back in 2003.
The funny thing is none of these cards feel strong on their own. When Jace, the Mind Sculptor got banned, that made sense. Repeating Brainstorms and fate seals was absolutely ridiculous. But a land searcher? A slightly upgraded Elvish Visionary? That doesn't feel right to me.

Q: Is there a risk in new clazz(this) from Clazz.clone? After a build break, one developer complained it was because the previously available Clazz.clone() (not the real name of the class :)) has been removed, so his call to clz.clone() is breaking.
Upon which the author of Clazz advised that the client code be changed to use new Clazz(clz). \
Is there risk in implementing the clone method to return new Clazz(this)? What could go wrong?

A: I don't believe there is risk in doing that, but it's unnecessary.  Have your one developer change his function call.
// this is the same
var myClazz = thatClazz.clone();

// as this
var myClazz = new Clazz(thatClazz);

The new method uses something called a Copy Constructor which in my opinion looks cleaner than using .clone().
Further, a discussion should be had with your development team about modifying code that other modules are dependent on.  Any methods or properties that are not private should have references checked before a change.

A: The major difference is that clone is a method and a constructor is a constructor.
This means that
Clazz x = ...;
Object xClone = x.clone()

returns whatever method clone of x.getClass() returns: a Clazz object or an object of a subclass of Clazz. Compare this to
Clazz x = ...;
Object xCopy = new Clazz( x );

which will give you a Clazz object, even when x references a SubClazz extends Clazz.
Presumably this doesn't matter to "the author of Clazz".

A: There's lots of discussion around clone vs copy constructor on the internet, eg Clone() vs Copy constructor- which is recommended in java
Adding a clone method will work but given that this is all internal code, why introduce the extra complexity?
It does sound like you could do with a process to handle breaking changes. May be just do something simple such as mark clone as deprecated for a while to give developers a chance to stop using it.
I've seen people waste hours trying to maintain backward compatibility on internal apis and more hours arguing about trivial changes like this.
