Body-worn cameras to curb aggressive bailiffs
E Munch replied to stu007's topic in Bailiffs and Enforcement Industry - General discussions
It will be good news if they do make it mandatory as at the moment, although almost everyone involved, including most debtors, the advice sector and the enforcement industry themselves want the filming to happen, the ICO has expressed concerns over the widespread use of this intrusive data processing. At the moment the legitimising purpose for such filming from Article 6 of the GDPR is "legitimate interests" and this means there needs to be a balancing exercise between the rights of the data subject and the enforcement agent. It the debtor (or another data subject that is caught on camera) does not want filming, the enforcement agent needs a good reason to ignore their request to stop filming. The simple reason that the council might want to see it in less than 0.1% of cases does not mean the filming of the other 99.9% of visits is not excessive. If it is made a legal requirement, the legitimising reason can be "processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation" and filming will be done as the new legislation requires. I do hope they express the legislation clearly and fully after talking to the ICO.
Are bailiffs allowed to climb over locked gates/fences
E Munch replied to sinkorswim's topic in Bailiffs - Help with Dealing with Bailiffs and Enforcement Agents including HCEO
As others have said and the OP understsands there is specific wording to say that an EA can only entrer premises via an unlocked door or other usual means of entry (for instance in a commercial building access may be via a loading bay which is not really a door.) There is no talk in the regulations of gaining accces over a fence to a garden to get to the outer door of the house and no case law which has examined if the usual means of access applies to, for instsance, a small ornamental garden fence that could be stepped over. I think if it wass a 6 foot fence with a locked gate it would be considered wrong to climb over but it would be down to a court to decide. Even if the rules were certain, people don't always follow rules and what about burglars? I think the OP should encourage his mother to keep the back door locked to keep out ne'er do wells of any sort. Apart from her safety, insurers may not be keen to pay out if you leave a door unlocked for thieves to enter and pinch stuff.

Has anyone seen the judgement in Rooftops South West Limited, James Slocombe, Paul Howell and Marcus Davis v. Ash Interiors (UK) Limited, Direct Collection Bailiffs Limited and Claire Sandbrook [2018] EWHC 2798 (QB) ? Could it please be made available here? Apparently the judge commented about Claire Sanbrook (the third defendant in this case) purporting to exercise control over Direct Control Bailiffs Ltd (or their agents) from Florida.

Newlyn control of goods letter re CTAX
E Munch replied to iempire's topic in Bailiffs - Help with Dealing with Bailiffs and Enforcement Agents including HCEO
People are confusing two things here. 1. There is the ablilty or otherwise to charge the fees for entering the different stages of the Schedule 12 process and 2. the ability or otherwise to take control of goods if the Notice of Enforcment has not been sent to where you usually live. The two fees involved so far are as below. You can see from the description of the stages in regulation 5 of the Taking Control of Goods (Fees) Regulations 2014 that the stage has a specific start point and from regulation 4(3) that the whole stage fee is due before all the parts of the stage have taken place.:- The £75 Compliance stage fee and that is due as soon as the instruction is received by the enforcment agent. Although the sending of the NoE will normally be part of the compliance stage it is not required to be sent to justify the fee being due. The £235 enforcement stage fee (plus any percentage for larger debts) which is due as soon as the enforcement stage commences which is said to be "from the first attendance at the premises in relation to the instructions..." It does not say the visit has to be for the purpose of taking control of goods. From this you can see the £310 can be due even if a Notice of Enforcement (NoE) has not been sent to where you usually live. From the way the OP describes it, the enforcement agent in this case does seem to have only sent one NoE and that went to an old address so it was not where the debtor usually lived at the time of it was sent. Becuase of this they cannot legally take control of goods. If you are proposing to pay the debt you would be best to point out that they cannot TCoG unless they resend a NoE to where you usually live and allow 7 clear days after it is sent before TCoG. As I said, however, it does not seem legally to invalidate the enforcement stage fee. I would try to appeal to the council to tell the enforcemnt agent to waive the enforcement stage fee as a gesture of good will (you never know!) and accept payment of the council tax debt plus the £75 compliance stage fee. That might be easy if you are going to pay in full immediately but I assume you will be trying to offer a payment arrangement. If you do that they would have time to send a new NoE and make another visit when a new enforcement stage fee would be due even if they'd waived the first one.

Newlyn PLC - Disaster for Innocent Public
E Munch replied to Very_Angry's topic in Bailiffs and Enforcement Industry - General discussions
Section 4 just explains at what point in time the binding of the debtor's goods starts. I think you are missing the point of 5(2) which means even after the goods become bound an innocent purchaser can acuire good title notwithstanding the binding provided the purchase is (a) in good faith, (b)for valuable consideration, and © without notice. So even after one of the trigger points menioned in section 4 they can fight off (at least in legal terms) the EA's claim to the vehicle.
Council tax debt - who is responsible to pay
E Munch replied to Will Goodfellow's topic in Bailiffs and Enforcement Industry - General discussions
There is a statutory scheme for third parties to claim goods that have controll taken of them. It does not involve nor require a statutory declaration nor an offical complaint. See part 85.4 and 85.5 og the Civil Procedure Rules. The wording gives the procedure and the timescales and can be found at this link and are pasted below:- https://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/procedure-rules/civil/rules/part-85-claims-on-controlled-goods-and-executed-goods Procedure for making a claim to controlled goods 85.4 (1) Any person making a claim under paragraph 60(1) of Schedule 12 must, as soon as practicable but in any event within 7 days of the goods being removed under the exercise of an enforcement power, give notice in writing of their claim to the enforcement agent who has taken control of the goods ('the notice of claim to controlled goods') and must include in such notice— (a) their full name and address, and confirmation that such address is their address for service; (b) a list of all those goods in respect of which they make such a claim; and © the grounds of their claim in respect of each item.

(4) The enforcement agent must notify the claimant to the controlled goods in writing within 3 days of receiving the notice in paragraph (3) whether the claim to controlled goods is admitted or disputed in whole or in part. (5) A creditor who gives notice in accordance with paragraph (3) admitting a claim to controlled goods is not liable to the enforcement agent for any fees and expenses incurred by the enforcement agent after receipt of that notice by the enforcement agent. (6) If an enforcement agent receives a notice from a creditor under paragraph (3) admitting a claim to controlled goods the following applies— (a) the enforcement power ceases to be exercisable in respect of such controlled goods; and (b) as soon as reasonably practicable the enforcement agent must make the goods available for collection by the claimant to controlled goods if they have been removed from where they were found. (7) Where the creditor, or any other claimant to controlled goods to whom a notice of claim to controlled goods was given, fails, within the period mentioned in paragraph (3), to give the required notice, the enforcement agent may seek— (a) the directions of the court by way of an application; and (b) an order preventing the bringing of any claim against them for, or in respect of, their having taken control of any of the goods or having failed so to do. Back to top Procedure for making a claim to controlled goods where the claim is disputed 85.5 (1) Where a creditor, or any other claimant to controlled goods to whom a notice of claim to controlled goods was given, gives notice under rule 85.4(3) that the claim to controlled goods, or any part of it, is disputed, and wishes to maintain their claim to the controlled goods, the following procedure will apply. (2) The claimant to controlled goods must make an application which must be supported by— (a) a witness statement— (i) specifying any money; (ii) describing any goods claimed; and (iii) setting out the grounds upon which their claim to the controlled goods is based; and (b) copies of any supporting documents that will assist the court to determine the claim.

This seems to be talking about the binding effect of an enforcement ower in accordance with section 5 of Schedule 12 to the TCE Act 2007. If so then there should be no problem. The wording is pasted below and you will note that there is provision in sub-paragraph 2 to protect genuinely innocent purchasers of bound goods so long as they did not know about the binding. If Ethel and Albert are as innocent and ignorant of the binding as you suggest you have the wording to assist them and hopefully you can dial down the anger and angst. Effect of property in goods being bound 5(1) An assignment or transfer of any interest of the debtor's in goods while the property in them is bound for the purposes of an enforcement power—. (a)is subject to that power, and. (b)does not affect the operation of this Schedule in relation to the goods, except as provided by paragraph 61 (application to assignee or transferee). (2) Sub-paragraph (1) does not prejudice the title to any of the debtor's goods that a person acquires— (a) in good faith, (b)for valuable consideration, and © without notice. (3) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (2)(a), a thing is to be treated as done in good faith if it is in fact done honestly (whether it is done negligently or not). (4) In sub-paragraph (2)© "notice" means— (a) where the property in the goods is bound by a writ or warrant, notice that the writ or warrant, or any other writ or warrant by virtue of which the goods of the debtor might be seized or otherwise taken control of, had been received by the person who was under a duty to endorse it and that goods remained bound under it; (b) where the property in the goods is bound by notice under paragraph 7(1), notice that that notice had been given and that goods remained bound under it. (5) In sub-paragraph (4)(a) "endorse" in relation to a warrant to which section 99 of the County Courts Act 1984 (c. 28) or section 125ZA of the Magistrates' Courts Act 1980 (c. 43) applies, means endorse under that section.

The OP is saying when the vehicle was sold the purchaser or someone they sold it to has not re-registered it and is clocking up new penalties in the Bradford area. Answering some points raised by the OP:- 1. There are four methods of taking control of a vehicle [Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 Schedule 12 13(1) (a) to (d)] In this case there are two possibilities. It could be just immobilised using a clamp and if so it must be left for 2 hours before being removed. I know of nothing to say it must be treated differently at night and it sounds like an urban or internet myth. Control can also be taken by removing it to secure it elsewhere [13(1)©] so even if they had clamped it they could remove it within the two hours and rely on the removal to take control rather than the immobilisation. 2. The address does not have to be your current one on the warrant. The original address would have been obtained from the DVLA by the council so maybe the DVLA records were not updated immediately. If another address is found later the council "may" apply to the traffic Enforcment Centre for the warrant to be reissued with the new address but it does not invalidate the warrrant if they do not. 3 & 4. The wording of the exemption for a "work vehicle" is found in regulation 4(1)(a) of the Taking Control of Goods Regulations 2013. There are several elements to the wording and it must fit all of them. The cases of Toseland Building Supplies v Bishop (1993) and Thompson v Bertie (2007) show that judges can be very strict in interpreting the exemption. Just because a car is useful or used to get to places of work (even where they are not in one fixed spot making the use of public transport difficult) does not mean the judge will agree that the exemption will apply. There is not a lot an EA can do if tools are in a locked boot other than allow you to come and collect them. If you did not ask to do that what else could they do? If they refused to let you get them, complain. You could have sent them the keys and documents by post and that would have allowed them to get the tools out and store them until you could collect them and that would have increased the net proceeds of sale by reducing the disburesments mentioned and/or increasing the value of the vehicle. 5. If the penalties being incurred in Bradford are genuinely incurred by someone unconnected with you then keep pushing the point. If Bradford council is getting the warrants on the penalties then complain to them. Parking departments in councils are quite harsh and if you feel unfairly treated you may need to use their complaint procedure that will hopefully be explained on their website. Also although you don't live in the area so you are not a potential vote for them you may get one of their elected councillors to intervene on your behalf. Try contacting the leader of the council to plead your case about the new penalties.

Although I can see a new thread is proposed I'll add this here for now and perhaps BA can add it to her new thread as I'll be away. The LGO in a recent report indicates their agreement that the council should be splitting payments made to them direct in accordance with the fee regulations:- http://www.lgo.org.uk/decisions/benefits-and-tax/other/16-014-707#point1 The LGO's comments are these:- "Mr J was paying the Council directly. The Council was following the law by passing the bailiffs a proportion of these payments to clear the bailiff's fees. Paying the Council directly does not mean the council tax debt is clear as the Regulations make clear any balance is made up of both the debt and the bailiff fees. "
Yes hello there. I have to confess I'd been logged out of the forum and could not remember or find my password until the other day! I have looked in from time to time but there is very reduced activity these days which hopefully is a good sign.

Local authorities and 'in house' bailiff operations. A discussion thread.
I can't find the post now but I thought someone above suggested the County Court have their own scale of fees. That is news to me so has anyone got some proof please? The government website just links to the CAB website which fives the normal scale for the Schedule 12 process. https://www.gov.uk/your-rights-bailiffs/what-you-can-do-when-a-bailiff-visits
I don't know if any of you recall but the fee structure was created by an independent economist hired by the MoJ to investigate what enforcement cost and to come up with a scale of fees that adequately rewarded the EA for their work. In the economist's report he pointed out that the scale was not to be tinkered with or it would fail in the objectives set. There was not an objection to the scale being used by in-house operations but only if they did the whole job. If the council do the compliance stage and only pass the hard to collect cases onto the private EAs the council get the cream for sending a letter and answering phone calls and the EA gets a reduced income for doing the costly visiting. It is entirely against the point of the scheme yet as BA has said Manchester City Council is asking for bids to do parking warrants starting after the council have done the compliance stage. The relevant parts of the economists report are reproduced below:- 20.3. Other fee issues 20.3.1. Contracting between EACs and creditors If the proposed Fee Structure is to be successful it is important that creditors cannot use contractual arrangements with EACs/ HCEACs in order to circumvent the level of fees. Whilst contracts may specify quality and reporting requirements, they should neither be able to change the level of any of the new Fee Structure fees, nor to challenge the right of the EAC/ HCEAC to collect those fees where they are appropriately charged. If contracts amend or remove any of the proposed Fee Structure fees it would jeopardise the important objective which the new Fee Structure attempts to achieve: to guarantee a fair reward to EACs/ HCEACs by setting fees in relation to costs, and allowing a fair mark‐up on those costs. If creditors are able to use contracts to circumvent the EAC's/ HCEAC's right to charge any of the fees, the profit margins earned could be reduced below the target profit margin as a result. Even where fees are charged at appropriate levels in the first instance, creditors may attempt to use contracts to require the EAC/ HCEAC to pass on a proportion of the Enforcement fees. Since this practice would have a similar effect to amending the actual fee levels it should also not be allowed. Similarly any attempts by EACs/ HCEACs themselves to obtain a competitive price advantage by offering to reduce fees below the Fee Structure level should not be allowed, and competitive differentiation should be made on quality of service alone. In conclusion, ensuring that the contracts between EACs/ HCEACs and creditors do not attempt to circumvent the proposed Fee Structure in any way is an important role for legislation and regulation. 20.3.2. "Inhouse" Enforcement Agents The term "In‐house Enforcement Agent" is used to refer to those EAs who are directly employed by a creditor, which seeks to enforce its own debts. "In‐house Enforcement Agents" are employed by:County Courts, which use employed staff (County Court bailiffs) to enforce their debt;HMRC; and some local authorities who employ their own EAs to enforce debts. When "In‐house" EAs are employed, the structure of the relationship between entities in the Enforcement framework is changed: instead of three parties (being creditor, debtor, and Enforcement agent), there are now only two (creditor and debtor). The principal agent relationship no longer exists between the creditor and EA as these now represent a single entity. The Proposed Fee Structure is robust for application to "In‐house Enforcement Agents", since these EAs must incur essentially the same costs as "third‐party" EAs, and there is no particular reason to assume that the level of these costs should be any different between "In‐house" and "third‐party" Enforcement Agents. Therefore, EAs should charge exactly the same fees whether they are operating on an "in‐house" or "third‐party" basis.
MM it might help the Poole Councillor who's angst started this discussion if you sent him the link to the conference as he might want to attend.
DB Irony? Would I? I don't think it is bust and you don't seem to think so either. It might however be changed by councils adopting what BA is suggesting.
DB. The council will often get one of their staff currently doing another job to get a certificate so no they would not necessarily arrive at the council already holding a certificate. Furthermore the form us used for renewals as well as first applications so every EA will have to fill one out every 2 years. There is a couple of tick boxes right at the start of the form. Someone renewing a certificate will give their works details that apply at the moment they fill out the form. They may at that time be employed by a local authority. As for the scale we seem to agree there is only one scale of fees and it is applicable to all EAs (other than HCEOs) whether or not they are employed by a local authority. There is no need to continue discussing but I will end by saying I thought your comment in post # "So does this meant that the council consider that their own fees scale is applicable when bailiff are in house" meant you believed a council had their won fees scale separate from that in the TCoG(Fees) Regs.
BA Are you able to name and shame the authority? Presumably it'll be in the public domain soon if not already. As you've said the complaints have died down as the government hoped when designing the fee scale to adequately reward EAs but perhaps this was just a temporary amelioration like an interstadial (warm period) in a long term ice age. With this new move we will be back to private EA firms working for skimmed milk whilst the council sit licking the cream from their lips. It could be like the situation where firms that used to run old folks homes go out of the market leaving inadequate provision. Imagine the post apocalyptic world with half starving former EAs in ragged clothes and gaunt expressions begging for alms at the local authority offices whilst piles of liability orders lie rotting and uncollected in the streets! DB Did you see beneath the question " are you a member of any other type of organisation"? the wording eg Local Authority? As you say it isn't law but it is an indication that others do not agree the council cannot do the work themselves. If you do your FOI to all councils you can find out what changes they have made. As I say there were council employees with County Court Certificates to act as bailiffs under the old regime and by now all of them will have had to renew their certificate which would allow them to act as EAs. As for the regulation 45 talk I was responding to your comment in post #21 which said "Section 45 relates to which fee scale is used. as you know the fee scale is not always utilised alongside the procedure." I did not know what you meant and I'm even less sure now. The new wording for 45 makes no mention of a fee scale so the only fee scale is the one in the schedule to the TCoG (Fees) Regs 2014. Unlike you I cannot see any reason why a council employee cannot recover those fees.
DB I can't easily reply individually to the various points you make as any response I make appears at the end of all the earlier posts so it would be too hard for anyone to follow. Picking a couple of points though you seem to say though that I'm mistaken about the EA application form EAC1. If that is what you are saying look here https://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/procedure-rules/civil/pdf/update/eac1-0414.pdf at the very top of the third page. Also you FOI should confirm that Brighton Council have employed Bailiffs and now EAs directly for many years. You also mention the Council Tax Administration and Enforcement Regulations reg 45 as if this still has a scale of fees but it does not. Schedule 13 amended only primary legislation and it was left to the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 (Consequential, Transitional and Saving Provision) Order 2014 amended the various SIs including the CTax Admin and Enf regs. If you or others have missed it, it can be found here:-http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2014/600/contents/made The relevant parts which replace the old Reg 45 detailed wording about distress with an ability to use the Schedule 12 procedure and which deletes the scale of fees that was included in Schedule 5 are pasted below:- ©for regulation 45 (Distress) substitute— 3© "Enforcement by taking control of goods 45.

Violent offender treatment program reduces reoffending
Full report: The effect of the Violent Offender Treatment Program (VOTP) on offender outcomes (pdf, 530Kb)
Release date: 10.30am, Monday 24 September, 2018
An intensive treatment program for violent prisoners delivered by Corrective Services NSW reduces the risk of reoffending according to a new report released today by the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (BOCSAR).
The Violent Offender Treatment Program (VOTP) is a 12-month residential therapeutic program for high-risk male offenders who are serving more than 2 years in custody for a violent offence. It has been operating in NSW correctional centres in its current form since 2003.
To evaluate the program, BOCSAR compared a cohort of 216 prisoners who completed the VOTP program with a cohort of 321 prisoners who were referred to VOTP but did not start, while controlling for a range of factors influencing program entry and reoffending.
The results revealed that violent prisoners who started VOTP were 9 percentage points less likely to reoffend within 24 months of release from prison than those who were referred but were never treated.
Lower violent reoffending rates were also found but the effect was not statistically significant, possibly due to the small sample size. All outcomes examined in the study pointed in the direction of a reduction in reoffending.
Commenting on the findings, the Executive Director of the Bureau, Dr Don Weatherburn said that the results are very encouraging.
"The study has provided convincing evidence that a properly resourced and well-managed correctional program can reduce re-offending, even among violent offenders."

We stayed in room 218 at the Home2 Suites by Hilton in January of 2016. We booked this hotel after reading good reviews about it online. It is advertised as an extended-stay hotel, but we were only there for two nights. It is just off 170th Street, so access to West Edmonton Mall from here would be very convenient.
This hotel was very clean and appeared new. Our room was fully-wheelchair accessible and was very spacious. There was a queen-sized bed and pull-out couch and ample room for two playpens. There was a curtain that could be pulled across the room to separate the bed from the couch, which would be really nice if you were sharing the room with a friend or an attendant.
The bathroom was complete with a wheel-under sink, a wheel-in shower with fold-down shower bench, and one grab bar by the toilet. There was even a phone by the toilet for emergencies. The wheel-in shower had two shower heads, one handheld and one mounted on the wall like a normal shower.
There was a kitchenette in the room which was stocked with dishes, cooking utensils and eating utensils. There was a full-sized fridge, microwave, dishwasher, toaster and a Keurig coffee machine. The sink in the kitchenette was also wheel-under.
There was a desk with a table underneath that could be wheeled out if you were hosting company or if you preferred to eat dinner at a table. There was also a TV, in-room safe, iron, ironing board, and a small closet.
The hotel had a pool, which I understand will be accessible. They advised that they have a pool lift coming but that it had not yet arrived. There was a large sign in the pool area that said "Pool Lift" so I suspect this will be installed shortly. There was a large, accessible bathroom in the pool area.
There was a fitness facility on the main floor of the hotel, which could be accessed by someone in a wheelchair.
The hotel had a free breakfast every morning and free parking. There was also a coffee and hot chocolate station beside the front desk that was stocked 24 hours a day.
The staff here was pleasant and helpful. They were very nice upon check-in and the people helping during breakfast were very friendly.
Upon check-in we were told that cleaning on the weekends was only done upon request. They kindly asked if we would like to have our room cleaned on the Saturday morning and we said yes. After we returned to our hotel room on Saturday night, it had not been cleaned, which was a minor inconvenience.
The shampoo and body wash dispensers in the wheel-in shower are mounted on the wall. Unfortunately, they are mounted on the wall opposite the shower bench and no one sitting on the shower bench would be capable of reaching them.
The breakfast, while okay, was nothing special. They had cereal, toast, waffle makers, milk and yogurt. They also had some cold hard-boiled eggs and some other egg products that could be microwaved. It wasn't terrible for a free breakfast, but don't expect a breakfast buffet.
The pool area was quite nice with lots of chairs for sitting, a bathroom, showers and a nice, big pool. The unfortunate part was that there was no hot tub! I can never understand hotels that have pools but no hot tubs. On the plus side, the temperature wasn't too bad and no one was ever in there! Both times that we went swimming, we had the entire pool to ourselves.
This was a clean, reasonably-priced option (about $130 a night) on the west side of Edmonton. Given its affiliation with the Hilton brand, you can see that they have complied with the requirements of the ADA when designing the accessibility features of this hotel.

I really love reading your posts. They're so informative.
Thanks! I enjoy writing them!
Love the post. Funny (not) that they could put the soap dispenser where a person couldn't reach when sitting on the bench.
Thanks! Yeah, it was strange. They seemed to think of every other detail, but that one was obviously overlooked.

These are great and holy attributes and promises of discipleship. But Jesus does not stop there. With this blessing comes responsibility.
It's one thing to know and to claim your identity. It's another thing entirely to live it. But, we have to. Why? For the sake of the kingdom of heaven coming to pass here and now and not just in our future.
Think back to the passage from last week and the purpose of the Sermon on the Mount. To learn is to put information into action. The disciples have learned who they are. Now, they need to know what difference this makes.
Knowledge without action as an impediment to the implementation of the Kingdom of Heaven might be a way to imagine the focus of this portion of Jesus' sermon. Or, better yet, knowledge without a purpose. All too often this is what our sermons sound like, our churches sound like, our discipleship sounds like. We have a lot of information about Jesus, about God, about the Holy Spirit to share, but that's as far as it goes. We tend to amass information for information's sake and not for the sake of the difference it might actually make for another. In this section of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus reminds us that knowledge about God cannot exist as simply knowledge. Knowledge about God, theology, if you will, is God's very presence in the world. It is not enough to know about God. As disciples, we have to be the activity of God in the world. We are called to live out our identity as salt and light.
A sermon on this portion of the Sermon on the Mount might explore this dimension of our human lives, particularly, this aspect of our human brokenness. It is knowledge without action that perpetuates existence of racism in our world. It is knowledge without action that contributes to our silence about sexism. It is knowledge without action that continues to oppress the poor, to ostracize the marginalized, to overlook the hungry.
A sermon on this portion of the Sermon on the Mount might also ask how this is related to the brokenness of the church: how our churches spend our efforts on doctrinal statements rather than how to live our beliefs in our lives; how our churches spend money on social statements rather than activism; how our churches spend time on determining correct theology rather than inviting constructive theology that might actually get embodied in believers, that might encourage believers to believe they are also theologians, that might invite them to think theologically rather than simply have a theology.
In other words, a sermon on this portion of the Sermon on the Mount will tell the truth about our default setting which leans toward comfort, conformity, and complacency when what Jesus really needs from us is to be the salt and the light—the salt that just might sting and the light that just might expose what we do not want to see.
What Jesus needs from us, evidently, is a righteousness that exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees. "No!" we might say, "Jesus didn't really mean that." But what if Jesus did? What if Jesus' intention was for us as disciples to imagine and live into a righteousness that makes the kingdom of heaven possible? If this is true, no wonder Jesus tells this to his disciples from the beginning. They will need the rest of the Gospel to make sense of and embrace such a request.
It is helpful at this point to compare the Beatitudes in Luke and Matthew. Luke's version is very much about Luke's Christology and encapsulates Luke's portrait of Jesus—blessed are the poor. Period. Blessed are those who hunger. Period. No quantifiers or qualifiers. The same is true for Matthew. Matthew's version of the Beatitudes is a summary of Jesus according to Matthew. For Matthew, at stake is action for the sake of certain commitments to and understandings of God's identity. God is righteous. God sees the poor in spirit. Discipleship is not just a certain way of being in the world, but an ultimate way of being in the world. Matthew has high standards for discipleship. The sooner we realize this, the better.
Somebody has to set the standards. Not that the other Gospels don't. It's just different for Matthew. On the front end of preaching Matthew, the preacher has to come to grips with the Gospel writer's expectations. Hungering and thirsting for righteousness is no easy feat. There is an expectation for a certain excellence in faith, a requested resilience in belief, a mandate for decidedly determined disciples that very well might trouble the faint in heart.
This is the challenge of Matthew, and we should probably get used to it now rather than later. It won't do us much good to delay the inevitable. Learning and embodying the demands of discipleship are best known up front. Because in the end, they very well may end up bringing about the culmination of Matthew's vision.


Move to the start of the input line.
Move to the end of the input line.
On DOS/Windows, C-RIGHT moves forward by words.
On DOS/Windows, C-LEFT moves backward by words.
Delete the character under the cursor.
Delete the character behind the cursor.
On some keyboards, this key is designated BS, for `BackSpace'. Those keyboards will usually bind DEL in the echo area to echo-area-delete.
Cancel or quit the current operation. If completion is being read, this command discards the text of the input line which does not match any completion. If the input line is empty, it aborts the calling function.
Accept (or forces completion of) the current input line.
Insert the next character verbatim. This is how you can insert control characters into a search string, for example, or the `?' character when Info prompts with completion.
Insert the character. Characters that have their 8th bit set, and not bound to `M-' commands, are also inserted verbatim; this is useful for terminals which support Latin scripts.
On DOS/Windows only, the Shift-TAB key is an alias for M-TAB. This key is sometimes called `BackTab'.
Transpose the characters at the cursor.
The next group of commands deal with killing, and yanking text(6). For an in-depth discussion of killing and yanking, see section `Killing and Deleting' in the GNU Emacs Manual .
Kill the word following the cursor.
Kill the word preceding the cursor.
On some keyboards, the Backspace key is used instead of DEL, so M-Backspace has the same effect as M-DEL.
Kill the text from the cursor to the end of the line.
Kill the text from the cursor to the beginning of the line.
Yank back the contents of the last kill.
Yank back a previous kill, removing the last yanked text first.
Sometimes when reading input in the echo area, the command that needed input will only accept one of a list of several choices. The choices represent the possible completions, and you must respond with one of them. Since there are a limited number of responses you can make, Info allows you to abbreviate what you type, only typing as much of the response as is necessary to uniquely identify it. In addition, you can request Info to fill in as much of the response as is possible; this is called completion.
Insert as much of a completion as is possible.
i.e., all of the choices which begin with `f'. Pressing SPC or TAB would result in `fo' appearing in the echo area, since all of the choices which begin with `f' continue with `o'. Now, typing `l' followed by `TAB' results in `foliate' appearing in the echo area, since that is the only choice which begins with `fol'.
Scroll the completions window, if that is visible, or the "other" window if not.

Full-Page WSJ Ad Denying Armenian Genocide Spurs Anger
By Stav Ziv On 4/21/16 at 4:08 PM EDT
People attend a rally in New York City to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the mass killing of Armenians by Ottoman Turks, on April 26, 2015. A full-page ad denying the Armenian genocide that ran in The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday spurred anger. It follows similar billboards in Boston and Chicago. Eric Thayer/Reuters
World Armenian Genocide Turkey Armenia Wall Street Journal
Updated | A full-page ad denying the Armenian genocide spurred anger Wednesday, appearing in The Wall Street Journal just days before the 101st anniversary of the event's start on April 24, 1915.
"Truth = Peace," the ad declared in large font at the center of the page. At the top, in smaller letters, it said, "Stop the allegations," and directed readers to a website called Fact Check Armenia, which declares as false the idea that "the events of 1915 constitute a clear-cut genocide against the Armenian people" and calls efforts of the Armenian diaspora to gain recognition of the genocide "propaganda."
The ad shows three hands—a hand making a peace sign in the middle is tinged with red and features the star and crescent of the Turkish flag, and is flanked by a hand on each side with fingers crossed in the hues of the Armenian and Russian flags.

Gary Bass, a professor of politics and international affairs at Princeton University, tweeted a photo of the ad Wednesday morning, garnering hundreds of retweets and a slew of reactions, many of which chided The Wall Street Journal for printing it and questioned whether the paper would have printed a similar ad related to the Holocaust.
According to a post on the Chicago Armenian Genocide Centennial committee's Facebook page, the same ad also appeared Wednesday in the pages of the Chicago Tribune. The newspaper ads come soon after billboards with similar designs appeared near Boston's Armenian Heritage Park and in the Chicago area.
"It should be taken down," Lori Yogurtian, founder of the Armenian Students Association at Suffolk University, told the Boston Globe when the billboard appeared in Boston's North End in early April. "It's completely one-sided, completely perpetuating denial of something that has time and time again been proven as a fact."
The billboard was indeed taken down, the Globe reported, with a spokesman for its owner, Clear Channel Outdoor, saying "the ad was placed there in error." The Chicago centennial group said in a post on Facebook that the billboards in that area had also been removed.
In response to the criticism, a Wall Street Journal spokesperson said in a comment provided to Gawker that "we accept a wide range of advertisements, including those with provocative viewpoints. While we review ad copy for issues of taste, the varied and divergent views expressed belong to the advertisers."
Ab Kaan, a coordinator for The Turkic Platform and Fact Check Armenia, said in an email to Newsweek that "all data in Fact Check Armenia is produced by The Turkic Platform," which is supported by Turkish companies in Turkey, Europe and primarily in the U.S. He said [sic]:
We are running this campaign to counter false accusastion made by the Armenian Diaspora. Unfortunately the Armenian Diaspora has been running a negative PR campaign perpetuating these false accustations for over 50 years. We felt that it is finally time for the Turkish people to stand up against these false accusations and let their side of the story be told.
As you know, there is not one legal court decisions in the U.S. or international community that has valided the so called "Armenian Genocide" allegations. All Armenian PR is based solely on political decisions and resolutions facilitated by their lobbying and fundrasing efforts. In some states and cities like Boston they portray their opinion as historical truths supported by the entire international community, although more than 170 countries do not recognize the tradgedies that occured more than 100 years ago as "genocide."
We believe that history and truth cannot be decided by politicans who are engaged in political decisions that have a direct impact on their fundraising and campaign efforts. We believe that history must be decided by historians or court orders, not by interest groups or politicians supported by those groups.
Several countries, including the United States, have failed to formally recognize the Armenian genocide as genocide, or to use the "G-word" in commemoration ceremonies, despite efforts by lobbyists that intensified leading up to last year's centennial. However, historians and genocide scholars agree that the events beginning in 1915 constituted genocide.
"There is a near consensus that the Armenian genocide was a genocide, or that genocide is the right word," David Simon, a professor of political science at Yale University and co-director of its Genocide Studies Program, told Newsweek ahead of the 100th anniversary last year. "The deportations and massacres amounted to a crime we now know is genocide. In 1915, there was no such word."
[Related: Why Scholars Say Armenian Genocide Was Genocide but Obama Won't]
The controversy is generated by Turkey, says Armen Marsoobian, a professor of philosophy at Southern Connecticut State University who teaches courses in comparative genocide. Turkey vehemently opposes the use of the term "genocide" to describe the events, and recalled ambassadors to the Vatican and Austria after Pope Francis and Austrian lawmakers did so ahead of the centennial.
"Always around April 24, especially in the United States, there's this attempt to deny the genocide but in a way that claims that the Turkish people are looking for peace and cooperation," Marsoobian, a scholar of Armenian descent whose parents survived the genocide, tells Newsweek over the phone from Istanbul, where he is on a fellowship. "It always is very upsetting to the Armenian community, because April 24 is a solemn day," he adds. It's like "pouring a little salt in the wounds to do it at this time."
Similarly, Fatma Muge Gocek, a Turkish-born professor of sociology and women's studies at the University of Michigan and author of Denial of Violence: Ottoman Past, Turkish Present and the Collective Violence against Armenians, 1789-2009, says in an email: "I have been following the story regarding the billboards in Boston and Chicago with great disappointment, but not surprise."
As Marsoobian and Gocek suggest, ads of the kind that appeared in The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday have cropped up close to the annual anniversary and garnered criticism before. In 2015, billboards reportedly went up in Boston, New York, New Jersey and Dallas. The Boston Globe ran a full-page ad very similar to this year's in the Journal—it cried, "Change for progress," included the phrase "Stop the allegations" and pointed readers to the Fact Check Armenia website—even as the paper's editorial board ran a piece urging the U.S. to recognize the genocide just a few pages away.
A different full-page ad appeared that same week in the Washington Post in the form of an open letter from the Turkish American National Steering Committee claiming there is "no academic consensus" about the events and that "the politicization of this historical controversy not only tarnishes the memory of the dead but also thwarts the ultimate objective: reconciliation between Armenians and Turks."
The New York Times rejected the open letter ad, based on guidelines against "advertising that denies great human tragedies." The guidelines stipulate that "events such as the World Trade Center bombings, or the Holocaust, or slavery in the United States, or the Armenian Genocide or Irish Famine cannot be denied or trivialized in an advertisement."
Marsoobian attributes the appearance of such ads to a "lack of knowledge of historical facts" and "a very large well-funded campaign to generate this sort of false controversy that there is [an] alternative interpretation of what happened."
"Historically, we're past that," he says. "The evidence, the scholarship that's been written on it, the conferences, all of it—it's clear."
This story has been updated to include comment from Ab Kaan of Fact Check Armenia and The Turkic Platform.

Q: PowerBI Azure refresh not working, data not updated I have power bi configured on Azure, a dataset reading its data from excel document which is updated on daily basis.
The refresh is done manually through powerbi desktop. After I click on refresh, my reports and dashboards are reading updated figures, I open it from power bi desktop; however if I open it from any browser, data is not updated, I will have to publish my power bi reports and dashboards from power bi desktop publish button in order to see my data updated from browser.

A: Power BI desktop is the development tool for powerbi.com, after you have published it to powerbi.com, it has no relation with your offline .pbix file. Publishing it again (with the same name), will overwrite the file with it's data.
So a local refresh in power bi desktop has no influence on the file in powerbi.com
If you want that powerbi.com can read data from your excel file (on Premise), you'll have to setup a powerbi gateway. More information on following link:

A personal gateway is required in order to refresh datasets that get data from a supported on-premises data source in your organization.
With a gateway, REFRESH NOW and SCHEDULE REFRESH are supported for datasets uploaded from:
Microsoft Excel 2013 (or later) workbooks where Power Query or Power Pivot is used to connect to and query data from a supported on-premises data source. All on-premises data sources shown in Get External Data in Power Query or Power Pivot support refresh except for Hadoop file (HDFS) and Microsoft Exchange.

A: I had to uninstall my "on-premises data gateway (personal mode) and reinstall updated version. it is working now.

JPMorgan's Jamie Dimon is fed up with you 'lazy' investors voting against him
Jamie Dimon, Chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Chase & Co.: If you vote against him, you must be bad at your job.
(Paul Morigi / Invision for JPMorgan Chase & Co)
By Michael HiltzikBusiness Columnist
You might think that the chairman and CEO of a major bank that had just pleaded guilty to a federal felony charge and has paid out more than $20 billion in legal settlements in recent years would show a little humility.
But then you wouldn't be reckoning with Jamie Dimon, the head of JPMorgan Chase. At an investment conference in New York this week, Dimon lashed out at institutional investors who voted against his pay package and his dual role as the firm's chairman and chief executive, and otherwise rejected management's wishes on shareholder resolutions at the annual meeting May 19.
Dimon reserved special contempt for investors who followed the recommendations of two leading advisory services for institutions, Glass Lewis & Co. and Institutional Shareholder Services, or ISS. Both had advised clients to approve a shareholder proposal to separate the chairman and CEO jobs at JPMorgan. ISS also called for a vote against a $7.4-million bonus Dimon received for 2014, calling it unjustified.
"God knows how any of you can place your vote based on ISS or Glass Lewis," Dimon said petulantly at a conference sponsored by Sanford C. Bernstein & Co., as the crowd tittered nervously. (The audio can be found here.) "If you do that, you are just irresponsible, I'm sorry. And you're probably not a very good investor either.... I know some of you do it because you're lazy."
What may have irked Dimon the most is that the results of the shareholder voting reflected comparative disaffection with JPMorgan's performance--though not enough for any of the shareholder proposals to win. Some 38.2% of shares were voted against the pay package for Dimon and other top executives, an outcome accurately described by the Financial Times as "a sizeable revolt from major institutional investors."
About 43.8% voted in favor of disclosing when JPMorgan clawed back pay from senior executives, which can happen when activities that formed the basis of a performance bonus turn bad. The proposal was filed by several New York State public pension funds and the United Auto Workers. And nearly 36% voted to split the chairman and CEO jobs after Dimon retires.
Glass Lewis officials defended their recommendations after the votes. Separating the chairman and CEO jobs is necessary to eradicate a conflict of interest in the corporate suite, Glass Lewis Vice President David Eaton said on CNBC. "The chairman runs the board, the board provides oversight of the executive team," he said. "When the CEO is the chairman, that oversight and responsibility becomes blurred. There's a clear conflict of interest there." He called it a "governance risk" that should cause concerns for institutional investors.
Dimon's outburst underscores how unabashed the banking industry remains despite the role of its imprudent behavior in crashing the world economy in 2008. It also demonstrates the utter fecklessness of government prosecution when it's directed at institutions rather than executives.
After the May 20 announcement of its felony guilty plea, JPMorgan characterized it as applying to "a single antitrust violation" and blamed it on the actions of "a single trader (who has been dismissed)."
The Department of Justice depicted it differently: Morgan and the other banks were pleading guilty to "conspiring to manipulate the price of U.S. dollars and euros" on international exchanges, according to the agency's release. The banks' actions were "long-running and egregious," caused "pervasive harm," and undermined "the integrity and the competitiveness of foreign currency exchange markets which account for hundreds of billions of dollars worth of transactions every day."
JPMorgan agreed to pay a penalty of $550 million--another addition to a bill for alleged wrongdoing by the bank that exceeds $20 billion over the last few years. By failing to name names, the Justice Department merely allowed JPMorgan to continue pretending that its plea resulted from an isolated incident rather than a pervasive culture of rule-breaking and a lack of serious management oversight.
Efforts by the shareholder advisory firms and activist institutional investors, including the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS), to hold executives and directors accountable have been largely unavailing. After JPMorgan's disclosure of a $6.2-billion trading loss in 2013--the celebrated "London whale" fiasco--Glass Lewis called for six directors, including three with risk-management responsibilities, to be replaced. Four are still on the board.

Sehirus luctuosus,  the Forget-me-not Bug, is a burrowing shieldbug belonging to the family Cydnidae. It is found from Europe to Central Asia.In Central Europe it is widespread and not uncommon. They are found in the Alps on sunny slopes up to almost 2000 meters above sea level.

Adults are 6.2 to 8.3 millimeters long. They are completely black in colour and only sometimes have a bronze sheen. The second antennal segment (pedicellus) is much paler than the rest.

Sehirus luctuosus feeds on species of Anchusa. Echium vulgare, forget-me-nots Myosotis and species of violets including Viola riviniana. Pairing is at the end of April and in May. During this time the imagines are found running and flying on many different plant species. Nymphs are found on the ground below the food crops. The nymphs occur primarily in June and July, the adult animals of the new generation from late July or August. There is one generation per year.

Food choice among homebound older adults: Motivations and perceived barriers
Julie L. Locher, C. S. Ritchie, D. L. Roth, B. Sen, K. S. Vickers, L. I. Vailas
Objectives: The purpose of this paper is to identify: motivations and perceived barriers associated with food choices made by homebound older adults; whether motivations and perceived barriers vary according to social demographic characteristics; and whether motivations and perceived barriers are associated with dietary quality. Design: This was an observational study using standard interview methods where participants were administered a questionnaire and completed three 24-hour dietary recalls. Setting: Participants were interviewed in their homes. Participants: 185 homebound older adults were included. Measurement: Motivations were assessed using a modification of The Food Choice Questionnaire and perceived barriers were assessed using the Vailas Food Enjoyment Questionnaire. Participants answered questions regarding social demographic characteristics. Dietary quality measures of adequate intakes of calories, protein, vitamin D, and vitamin B12 were obtained from the three 24-hour dietary recalls. Results: Mean age was 78.9; 80% were female; and 36% were African American. Key motivations in food choice included sensory appeal, convenience, and price. Key barriers included health, being on a special diet, and being unable to shop. These varied little by social demographics, except for age. Dietary quality varied according to different motivations and barriers. Conclusion: Food choices are based upon a complex interaction between the social and environmental context, the individual, and the food. Efforts to change eating behaviors, especially community-based interventions involving self-management approaches, must carefully take into account individuals' self-perceived motivations and barriers to food selection. Incorporating foods that are tasty, easy to prepare, inexpensive, and that involve caregivers are critical for successful interventions. The Journal of Nutrition, Health & Aging

Dialogues on War Connects College Students and Older Adults through Storytelling
Michael Lang (right) leads discussion with wartime veterans
They take turns telling their stories. Working clockwise around the table they each recount their own personal tale of when and how the war started for them.
"I graduated high school in '42 and couldn't wait to go in," remembers one volunteer.
"August of 1942 is when I got my start," says another.
"I went in December of 1950—the Korean War," explains one veteran who was drafted into the service.
Harold Schwartz and Sam Kindron
A total of seven St. John's residents recently sat down to share their accounts in a group setting as part of new program called Dialogues on War. The moderators for this particular discussion were Michael Lang and Sam Kindron—history students at St. John Fisher College. "These stories are so important for us to remember and understand," says Lang as he explains the concept of the program to the men. "That's really why we are doing this. To get a dialogue going and keep our collective memory strong."
Dr. Carolyn Vacca is the chair of the History Department at St. John Fisher. She co-authored the grant for Dialogues on War, which was awarded funding through the National Endowment of the Humanities (NEH).She explains that the program is meant to give each veteran a forum to deliver their own personal accounts of service while providing students—some of whom who are veterans themselves—an opportunity to lead the discussion and absorb the perspectives of men and women who were intimately involved in the war effort throughout the 20th century. "We wanted to bring together intergenerational discussions about the ideas of war," says Dr. Vacca, who also serves as the Monroe County Historian. "The idea is to spark discussions about the past—when young people could be drafted into service—and compare that to today where we have an all-volunteer force."
Harold Schwartz was drafted and assigned to the U.S. Army on October 5, 1944. He was immediately sent to basic training, followed by special training in heavy weaponry. "After the Battle of the Bulge we had lost a great number of people and I was a replacement," Schwartz says as he looks back on his journey from New York City to the European Theater as an 18-year-old. In early 1945, he crossed the Atlantic and joined Patton's 3rd Army as part of a machine gun squad moving east across Germany. His unit marched through Mainz, Frankfurt, and Wolfsburg, witnessing firsthand the destruction these cities suffered as a result of allied bombings. Conversely, Schwartz remembers being on the receiving end of the formidable German air force in the form of nightly "Bedtime Charley" Luftwaffe raids. "I recall very vividly when they would come down in the evening and try to strafe us with their guns."
Like many American soldiers who survived the war, Schwartz returned to the states and utilized a new government program to fund his college education. The G.I. Bill covered the cost of his bachelor's and master's degrees. Schwartz enjoyed a long career as a clinical and school psychologist and even taught psychology at many Rochester area colleges, including St. John Fisher. He was glad to be a part of the Dialogues on War session held at St. John's Meadows—the retirement community he has called home for several years. "I enjoyed relaying stories. All of us who have been in the service have a story to tell." He believes this unique experience was mutually beneficial. "The two students seemed very interested. I think they got something out of it. I hope they did."
Brickstone by St. John's resident Larry Nazarian echoes Schwartz's sentiments. "Very, very interesting," says Nazarian, who shared accounts of his uncle's time in Italy during World War II as well as his own experience in a later conflict. "I enjoyed hearing the other guys."
Nazarian feels that his wartime story brought a different perspective when compared to others heard on the day. "I went in in 1967 when the Vietnam War was getting really hot." As a physician specializing in pediatrics, Nazarian's orders were to remain stateside at an Army hospital. Tasked with caring for the families of soldiers fighting in Southeast Asia, he believes his service is an example of how much support there was for those serving on the frontlines. He says when soldiers returned home to the U.S. they often expressed gratitude to those looking after their families living on the base while they were overseas. "I was proud of the time I spent in service," Larry added.
Michael and Sam's final project
Lin Hooper is also proud of his experience. He volunteered soon after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and then found himself in Florida as an expert in aerial communications. He would train countless men to repair communications equipment throughout the war. Archie Messenger volunteered for the Navy Air Corps and became an accomplished pilot and squadron leader in Okinawa. Milton Lederman was an expert in language who was sent by the Army to Cornell University, where he was forced to live in a fraternity house and learn Russian. He later discovered that he was chosen to become fluent in the language while plans were being formulated for a joint assault on Japan by United States and Soviet forces. Of course the Japanese surrendered in August of 1945, thus ending the war for all three men. Each were given time to communicate what they experienced during a period of time that would help shape the rest of their lives.
Dr. Vacca hopes that this first wave of nearly 50 Dialogues on Warsessions—two of which were hosted by St. John's—is just the start of a sustainable program that can connect generations for years to come. She adds that sessions tend to progress from veterans sharing their own individual narratives to becoming group conversations on the same topics students learn about in class. True to form, the session at St. John's evolved into to a discussion that included opinions and insights on how war has changed over time, the growth of the military-industrial complex, and a lively debate about whether or not America should remain the world's policeman. That is exactly what Dr. Vacca hoped would happen when she envisioned the program. "The students have been really impressed with how well the discussions have gone," she says. "It has been a wonderful, positive experience for them."

Q: Conditional expression in Travis deployment not evaluating correctly I am trying to deploy using Travis CI using the following conditional job:
- stage: publish
          name: Publishing components to npm registry
          script: echo "Deploying to npm..."
          before_deploy:
              - cd ./dist/components
          deploy:
              edge: true
              provider: npm
              email: XXXX
              api_key:
                  secure: vFxxLJUkMhPdb5wqs...
              on:
                  repo: ps37/components
                  tags: true
                  condition: TRAVIS_TAG =~ ^components-v\d.\d.\d$

But this condition condition: TRAVIS_TAG =~ ^components-v\d.\d.\d$ is NOT evaluating to true!
Can someone suggest what i am doing wrong with the condition expression?

A: If TRAVIS_TAG is an environment variable (like the documentation suggests), then that variable would be referenced with: env(TRAVIS_TAG)
In case of a conditional deployment, that would be a different syntax:
condition: $TRAVIS_TAG =~ ^components-v\d.\d.\d$
