Barry Soper: Parliament opens and is the brightline test the new CGT?
Act accuses Government of introducing CGT by stealth

The Government is being accused of planning to introduce a capital gains tax by stealth, after Finance Minister Grant Robertson asked Treasury for advice on extending the brightline test.
The Act Party has raised an eyebrow at the development, given Jacinda Ardern has already ruled out implementing a capital gains tax (CGT) while she is Prime Minister.
Yesterday, Robertson revealed a letter he had written to Reserve Bank Governor Adrian Orr, which asked him to consider adding house price stability to its remit.
In addition to this, he said the Government was looking into a number of demand-side measures – this included extending the brightline test.
The brightline test, introduced by the then-National Government in 2015, is in many ways similar to a CGT.
It means that if someone sold a residential home within two years of its purchase, they are required to pay tax – but there are a number of exceptions, such as if it was a family home.
In early 2018, the Labour Government extended the brightline test to five years.
A CGT is a broader tax, lumped on the sale of a house but without a fixed time period like the one mandated in the brightline test.
When the Tax Working Group was asked to investigate implementing a CGT in New Zealand, it was told that it would not apply to the family home.
But, despite the group ultimately recommending New Zealand should adopt a CGT, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern ruled it out.
"Under my leadership, we will no longer campaign for, or implement a CGT – not because I don't believe in it, but because I don't believe New Zealand does," she said in April 2017.
Act leader David Seymour said today that by asking the Treasury to investigate extending the brightline test, "Labour is planning to introduce a CGT by stealth".
Seymour points out that when the brightline test first went through Parliament, he had said that it might extend far outside the two years it was originally mandated for.
"It is a measure that will grow from two years to five to 10 to 15 years. You watch: it will eventually apply to a wider range of homes. It is the acorn that the National Party has planted that will grow into a full-blown CGT."
Despite this, Act voted in favour of the bill at its third reading, in 2015.

Sevenoaks Vine Cricket Club
30 Sep 2020 - Harry Robinson
The Vine is a historic and iconic venue for cricket, with the sport played at the ground since 1734, and no doubt prior. It is also central to the town's identity and used as a location for the community to exercise, socialise and relax.
The Vine has seen an unprecedented number of visitors using the ground as a green space during lockdown, for the community to socialise through Live on the Vine events, and thankfully, cricket. The significant footfall has sadly rendered the Vine unsuitable to host Premier League cricket, as confirmed by an ECB pitch assessor.
We therefore need to complete extensive refurbishment to restore the outfield and protect the heritage of the ground, enable Premier League cricket to be played once again, and allow cricket to flourish at the heart of Sevenoaks for years to come.
We are extremely grateful to the Sevenoaks Town Council who have agreed a grant of £16,000, as well as the ECB who have provided us with an additional £3,000 of funding. However, we still need to raise an additional £8,000 to complete the project. We are hoping that the generosity of members and friends of the club will enable us to complete this project and return the Vine to its former glory!
If you can, please donate via the weblink, or if you would prefer to donate via cheque please make payable to Sevenoaks Vine Cricket Club. Please get in contact for postal address.
Thank you, as always, for your continued & generous support of the club.

The Revelation will not be Televised
By Brett David Potter
I may have to add a proviso or two to my earlier, Baudrillard-heavy reading of the Royal Wedding. Watching it on PVR the next day (having opted not to get up at 3 am for the talking heads) the whole production turned out to be – as one might perhaps reasonably expect from a wedding – less of a Hollywood spectacle than a lengthy televised church service. When else would two billion people tune in to a church service, let alone one involving such a brilliant spokesperson for the Christian faith as Rowan Williams? The soaring buttresses of Westminster Abbey, displayed in crisp, clear HD, towered austerely over the royal couple. The priests said prayers and walked around solemnly while a choir of young prepubescent boys sang "Jerusalem" (which, despite its association with British national identity is a decidedly strange hymn, considering its origin in the mythopoetic imagination of William Blake). Despite its obvious opulence, and the artificiality of the "Wills and Kate" story as perpetuated by the tabloids and news media, the convergence of architecture, liturgy, choral music and the ancient sacrament of marriage was quite beautiful.
And yet there is still something about watching a religious service on television that changes the experience. Even in stunning 1080p HD, there is a lack of immediacy, of "presence" that disables the viewer from appreciating the dramatic, embodied act that is Christian liturgy. Instead of participating in the sacred rite, one is simply watching a group of priests march around, performing various impenetrable activities. Despite your confessional background, the whole spectacle can seem strange, somehow foreign.
A similar feeling of critical distance accompanied my viewing of the beatification service of the late John Paul II on Sunday (the beloved former pope was designated "blessed," one step below full-fledged sainthood). Even looking beyond the fact that the proceedings were in Italian, watching this religious ceremony was not the same as being physically drawn into the space of the liturgy as would happen in a church. Watching at home, the priests marching and chanting around the giant, blue-background poster of JP II didn't evoke a sense of mystery so much as a self-reflexive question: why are they so involved in this and I am not? TV makes the familiar strange, especially when it comes to a church service. Without an embodied, emotional, communal embeddedness in a particular place and time, the various comings and goings of Christian liturgy can indeed seem like a dislocated pagaent, a weird, even arbitrary phenomenon. This holds from the "highest" Catholic mass to the Crystal Cathedral down to a loose, improvised/Spirit-led Pentecostal revival service. The medium is the message – today's visual technology does not just bring us into the church from a remote location, but introduces a new, potentially alienating dynamic to our worship experience. TV church is nowhere near as good as the real thing.

Congratulations, David Macinnis Gill
Congratulations to David Macinnis Gill on the release of Black Hole Sun (Greenwillow, 2010). From the promotional copy:
Durango will take on any mission—as long as it is dangerous, impossible, and hopeless, and as long as it pays enough for him and his crew to get by.
Fortunately for Durango, he also has Mimi, a symbiotic nano-implant, to keep him on the straight and narrow, as well as a crew of loyal soldiers. Because he's going to need everything he's got for his latest mission—defending a rag-tag clan of helpless miners from a ravenous horde of feral cannibals and their enigmatic but brutal leader, who is hellbent on taking out the miners, and Durango along with them.

This week Donna considers Nonfiction vs. Creative Fiction vs. Historical Fiction and Carmen asks, Do Humorous Picture Books Need a Takeaway?
What are they doing right? Among other things, they're reading like writers. They're asking the hard questions and studying models to find answers.
On a related note, don't miss Donna's post on the question of writers who're not yet (book) published doing school visits. Peek: "To some people, it may seem like I was putting the cart before the horse in 2008, when I gave my first presentation. I didn't have to go looking for the opportunity. My son's elementary school teachers…."
Note: The ladies are decked out here as Page 1 and Page 2 at the 2008 Awesome Austin Writer's Workshop, an informal event at my house. I probably have a more recent picture of them, but the absolute cuteness of this one dictated that I feature it instead.

This is my super catch at sales in Zara. I love that it have optically printed knitted sweater pattern, so you don't feel hot. Also I like leather neckline.
Hey, you are right, the sweater IS great! it also looks great with the timberlands, great look!
Nice sweater! I love it.


Gaming isn't all fun and games; there's an ideology and a world view behind each game. Trinity notes, as she plays her favourite games with political scientist Oliver Mauco, how often the protagonists are white men defending America from a foreign enemy. They then move on to Gal*Gun, and discuss the model of submissive femininity that it portrays. What if gaming was politics?


The raw ingredients of a tropical vacation are sun, sea and sand. But when you add style, class and comfort then you have the dream vacation you read about in books, watch in movies and lust for in travel magazines. Fairwinds Villa located near the renowned Tryall Club Resort and Great House provides all the extra ingredients for that unforgettable island getaway.
Mahogany parquet floors speak to years of Jamaican architectural tradition. Large windows with panoramic views of the world-famous Tryall golf course and the azure Caribbean Sea permit the ocean breezes to whisper from room to room and you can take it all in with an afternoon rum punch or candle lit dinner on the spacious open air veranda just a few short steps from your living room.
Island living is all about the outdoors so each day you will travel the outdoor stairways from the living area to your large personal swimming pool. Here you can lounge around at the water's edge or under the nearby covered cut-stone terrace and mahogany poolside bar. Not to be outdone by the villa's interior this bar has cable television, a stereo system, telephone, dial-up internet and board games.
Whatever can be said here does not come close to sharing with you this amazing tale. The truth is in the living... from the moment you make your way down the twin entrance stairways at the villa's entrance past the fountain and rockery near the main doors. The luxurious objects and works of art, classic Caribbean architecture and your own intimate experiences in this cosy ambiance will help you write your own personal story.
You might lose yourself in Fairwinds' well manicured lawn and garden most of which is shaded by lovely tropical trees which have had years to spread their protecting branches over the smaller but just as beautiful plants. It's undulating landscape makes it a wonderful area for a picnic on the grass or just some quiet meditation among colourful flowers. From within the confines of the garden you can look out onto the green golf course below and the Caribbean Sea beyond.
There are four bedrooms in this tropical oasis. Two of them are master bedrooms with king size beds but the regal facilities do not end there. Sunken roman baths in two of the bedrooms make this villa almost too good to be true. The rest of the house is also lavishly well-appointed with stereo throughout the house, a library of books, videos and CDs, ADSL internet service and wall safes in the bedrooms.
Fairwinds is situated in Tryall, Hanover. Located only 20 minutes from Montego Bay, Tryall is a private club consisting of a collection of villas, world-famous 18-hole golf course, tennis, croquet, beach volley-ball, a running trail, a private white-sand beach and restaurant facilities. The property which is set on low-lying hills overlooking the azure Caribbean Sea is synonymous of luxury and style and is the ideal setting for a relaxing getaway, a honeymoon trip or a family vacation for the whole family. Montego Bay and Negril with their amazing natural attractions and entertainment are only a short drive away. The amazing facilities and beauty of this club plus the nearby attractions are the backdrop to a perfect Jamaican vacation experience.

$1400 Stimulus Check News: Bernie Wants You To Know Who Voted For Them
June 8, 2021 Topic: Stimulus Blog Brand: Politics Tags: Bernie SandersRepublicans$1400 Stimulus Check
"The bottom line is the American people want results," Sanders told Axios in an interview last month. "Frankly, when people got a, you know, $1,400 check or $5,600 check for their family, they didn't say, 'Oh, I can't cash this check because it was done without any Republican votes.'"
by Stephen Silver
Ever since the start of the Biden Administration, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont has been one of the leaders of progressive thought in Congress, sometimes assisting the initiatives pushed by the Administration, while at other times proposing measures to the left of what Biden has proposed himself. For instance, Sanders was among those signing the letter this past spring calling for additional stimulus checks.
This week, Sanders did a bit of both: he praised the current Administration for its passage of the American Rescue Plan while urging the passage of the president's other legislative priorities. However, he did so while proposing an action that could require the elimination of the filibuster-something that Biden has not proposed himself.
"Here's a radical idea: majority rule. Not a single Republican voted to provide a $1,400 direct payment to the working class or a $3,000 Child Tax Credit," Sanders tweeted this week. "The Senate passed this important legislation with 51 votes. We must do the same with the American Jobs and Family plans."
Sanders, who is an independent but caucuses with the Democrats in the Senate, has been the chairman of the Senate Budget Committee since the Democrats recaptured the Senate.
It is true that the American Rescue Plan passed on a nearly party-line vote in both the House and Senate, with one Democrat voting against it while joining every Republican. In the Senate, Vice President Kamala Harris returned to the Senate to cast a tie-breaking vote. The CARES Act in the spring of 2020 and the aid bill that followed at the end of last year were passed with votes from members of both parties.
In that interview, Sanders expressed skepticism about the Biden Administration's plans to negotiate a bipartisan compromise with Senate Republicans on infrastructure, which would likely require scaling back on the spending ambitions that Biden proposed in the American Jobs Plan.
Passing the Biden-proposed infrastructure bill without any Republican votes would likely require the use of the budget reconciliation process, which allows bills to pass with just 51 votes in the Senate. However, doing so would not allow the Democrats to lose any votes from their own caucus, and Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia has been announcing his opposition to measures, such as the For the People Act, that are not bipartisan. Manchin has not said how he would vote on the American Jobs Plan but has been part of the bipartisan negotiations.

Up about 9:30; small breakfast; read in Bultmann until noon. Didn't spend too much time with the mail. Fixed lunch at 12. Watched news—got lunch for Bonnie, she's still in bed. Back to reading Bultmann. Took nap in the afternoon, but read until 6:30. My thoughts wander to the election—it's hard to study. Most signs still point to a Nixon victory—by a narrow margin, but CBS news tonight carried the Harris poll showing HHH 3 pts ahead of Nixon—and indicated that California might not be so solidly for Nixon. 7:30, back to studying—Bultmann. 9:30 took coffee break, watched final campaign programs, Nixon + HHH—both shows were well done, impressive. It will be a close election—might be thrown into the House. Was back to work by 10. Read until 11; did some writing on the paper; listened to 11 o'clock news, bathed; back to writing—then did typing; off to bed at 2 AM.
Up at 8:30; took train to Boston. Greek class 11:00 – 12:00. Lunch with Bob Peek. My main preoccupation today at school was to find out what I could [do] about the possibility of study in England next year. As far as I can tell, everything can be arranged—so we shall start planning to move in June. Talked with Rowlingson, Schilling, Richardson, Jones—no objection whatever to my proposal. Had directed study in Paul, 3:00 to 4:00. Caught 4:55 train home. Arrived home about 6 o'clock. Bonnie was nursing Debby in the living room—watching the beginning of the election coverage. I told her we could start packing. We had supper—in the evening we took TV upstairs to bedroom to watch election returns. All evening observed a very close Nixon-HHH race. I write this at 1:40, and the presidential race is still very much undecided. At 2:30, it looks like Nixon might pull through; off to bed at 5 AM—Nixon is probably the next president. If he loses California, The House must decide.
Woke up at 10 AM. Rushed downstairs to see the outcome of the election. Bonnie was already up. Nixon has been given California while I was asleep, but Illinois was still in doubt. But around 11 o'clock, CBS declared Nixon the winner in Illinois. I phoned Rip Hannibal + Virginia Bate. Called Home Orne; I needed a check for postage. Shaved, went + picked the check up. Just at noon I got home in time to see HHH conceding; ate lunch; at 12:30 Nixon had short victory speech. I went to post office—also bought envelopes. Got the mailing ready, took it to Mrs. Cooney. We took Debby to her doctor's appointment 2:30. Dr. was on emergency. I came home to get Bright's Jeremiah; had cup of coffee because I was so weary. Went back to dr.'s office. At 4 we went to Grants to have our picture taken. Home shortly after 5. Worked more in Bright, got supper. 7:30 Virginia Bate + Ann Jewell arrived, 8:00—Bible class til shortly after 9. Relaxed, bathed; 10:15 – 11, watched CBS summary of the election; off to bed ISN, light out 11:30.
Slept til 10:30—still recovering from my loss of sleep Tuesday night—Wed. morning. Desk work til noon. Had lunch, watched news. We got a letter from a woman in Maine; we had met her + her husband—a minister—on our New Hampshire trip with the Peeks. We met them at the lodge at [?] Notch at the foot of Mt. Washington. After lunch worked on German.—actually didn't have lunch at noon. At about 11:30, I decided to have Alan Frederick over for lunch; couldn't get him by phone (information didn't have his number) I walked to his apartment; he wasn't there, but I found him on the street; he came up for lunch about 12:30. He went home about 1:45.—then I got to the German. Wrote a letter home with news about moving to England. Went to the Post Office; late in afternoon really buckled down to German. Supper about 6; 7 – 10 German class. Home by 10. Talked on phone with Bussey. Watched news; desk work; bathed; looked at camping equipment in catalogue—off to bed for ISN at 1:15.
Up about 10:15. Spent what was left of the morning at my desk, straightening up. Had lunch at noon, watched the news. Wrote letters in the afternoon, to Harrell Beck, to Kent Fellowship Program, sent for camping equipment catalogue. About 2 we set out on errands—had to push the car down the hill to get it started. Bonnie left me off at Hannibals with Debby, she went grocery shopping. 3:30 she came back, we went home, had cup of coffee, went out to the end of Bearskin neck to watch the water—its been a windy day. Came home, I wrote to Paul + Marty about our move to England next year. Tried to get sermon idea. Supper between 6:30 – 7:30. Watched CBS news. Back to working on a sermon idea. Finally decided to use one of T. P Ferris' sermons. I'm too tired to write one myself. Ordered camping equipment; worked on sermon; bathed; looked over work to be done in German, Paul DS, Jeremiah DS; off to bed at 12.
Up about 10:15. Desk work, worked on sermon, read in Newsweek about the election after the mail man had arrived. Went to the church to change the way-side pulpit. Wrote letter to Jerry + Pam Harris in Boston. Lunch shortly after noon; watched noon news. Shaved. 1:00 – 2:00 worked more on sermon. Debby sneezed a mouthful of beets all over Bonnie. At two o'clock headed for Addison Gilbert Hospital. Saw Gazella Dodd. Went to Cape Ann Nursing Home to see Ellie Martin, then to Daisy Jodrey's home to see her. Home by 4. Jim Bussey was here to get the big piece of furniture in our garage. I helped him put it on his car. Then studied until 5:30. Bottle fed Debby—her first time. More work on sermon til 6. Helped with turkey supper. At about 6:30 the Bussey's arrived for supper with us. They left about 8:15. Back to work on the sermon. Watched movie on TV (To Kill a Mockingbird) off + on with Bonnie; finished preparing the service. Bathed at 11:30. Snack, a few minutes with German. Off to bed at 12:50.
Up about 9:30. went through sermon, shaved, dressed—off to church about 10:40. A wet day—raining heavily + steadily. Only 24 in church. Preached on "At the End of Your Rope." Home by 12:30. Had lunch, left-overs from yesterday's turkey. Began work on German, had to fight to keep awake, but succeeded. Took one break to go out to the end of Bearskin Neck again. High wind + rain, a spectacular view of the sea. Came home, ISN. Studied further. 6:20 went down to St. Mary's Church to talk with Karen Haskell, but she wasn't at the meeting; she's ill. Came home, we had supper late, around 7:30. Back to German, worked on it all evening; Das Rheingold on radio. After 11, turned on news, played with Debby. She laughed for the first time. In the past we've had big smiles and pleasant noises—but tonight a full-fledged laugh! Worked on "Quiet Corner." Bathed; worked on QC some more. I am making it quite a strong statement; off to read in bed at 1 A.M.

"Had directed study in Paul, 3:00 to 4:00." And I'm STILL writing about Paul. 🙂 The 10th chapter of my book is about him.
"in the evening we took TV upstairs to bedroom to watch election returns." Back in the day when folks had only one TV!
"At 2:30, it looks like Nixon might pull through; off to bed at 5 AM" In my youth I could do that!
"At 4 we went to Grants to have our picture taken." I wonder if that pic still exists.
" Finally decided to use one of T. P Ferris' sermons. I'm too tired to write one myself." Theodore Ferris was a distinguished Boston preacher at the time. As I recall, "At the End of Your Rope" was a pretty impressive sermon.

A pharmaceutical sales organization had noticed a disparity in the abilities of its sales representatives and wished to find a better way to screen candidates to identify those who were most likely to succeed. Faced with this situation, the current study was conducted by the Profiles International staff to examine the relationship between ProfileXT scores and the performance of the pharmaceuticals Sales Representatives.
Eight pharmaceutical Sales Representatives participated in the current study. Each participant was administered the ProfileXT and had their performance evaluated by the organization. Sales Representative performance was evaluated using two performance measures. First, the sales organization evaluated employee competencies in a variety of areas determined to be important to organizational success. Second, each employee's performance was evaluated in the form of a sales goal ratio over the first three quarters of the year. When combined, these two performance measures revealed three Top Performing Sales Representatives and five Bottom Performing Sales Representatives.
In a concurrent study format, a Job Match Pattern was developed for the Sales Representative position using the Sales Representatives' scores on the ProfileXT. This Sales Representative pattern now serves as the benchmark to which other employees may be matched.
Using the performance information gathered from the employer, Profiles International built a pattern that described the qualities of the existing Top Performers in the sample. All eight Sale Representatives were then matched to the pattern. After a review of the results, an overall Job Match Percent of 90%, or greater, was found to best identify Top Performing employees. This Job Match Percent now serves as the benchmark to represent a good match to the Job Match Pattern.
Of the eight Sales Representatives in the sample, three achieved a Job Match Percent of 90% or greater. All three of the Top Performing Sales Representatives in the sample exceeded the 90% Job Match Pattern breakpoint while none of the five Bottom Performers achieved the same 90% breakpoint.
The sales dollars generated by the Top Performing Sales Representatives over the first three quarters of the year averaged $802,348. During the same sales period, the Bottom Performing employees averaged $617,786 in sales. The Top Performing Sales Representatives in this study averaged nearly $185,000 more sales dollars than the Bottom Performing Sales Representatives during the sales period.
In addition to the gains seen in sales performance by those that were selected by the Job Match Pattern, those that scored at or above the 90% benchmark averaged an organizational competency score of nearly 20. Those Sales Representatives that did not achieve the Job Match Pattern breakpoint averaged a substantially lower organizational competency score of 15.4. Thus, the competencies of the Sales Representatives selected by this pattern are more aligned with organizational goals than those of the Sales Representatives not selected.
Using the ProfileXT to benchmark employees, this Pharmaceutical sales organization has shown the ability to better screen Sales Representative candidates. Using performance information provided by this client, the Profiles International team was able to build a Job Match Pattern that distinguished the key success related attributes of the Top Performing Sales Representatives and those of the less productive members of the organization. Of the eight Sales Representatives in the sample, only three achieved the Job Match Percent breakpoint of 90%; all three of these Sales Representatives were Top Performers in the position. Clearly, this study has shown that by using the ProfileXT, this organization has improved its selection practices.

JERUSALEM – JERUSALEM (AP) — In an attempt to limit the diplomatic damage from its deadly raid on a Gaza-bound aid flotilla, Israel dropped plans Wednesday to prosecute dozens of pro-Palestinian activists, opting instead to deport them all immediately.
The stunning reversal came as Israel faced increasingly sharp international condemnation for Monday's high-seas raid that ended when Israeli commandos killed nine activists. The outcry included accusations of war crimes and a decision by Nicaragua to break diplomatic relations with Israel over the raid.
But Israeli officials said the decision not to prosecute any of the activists — despite suspicions that they were sent to attack Israeli forces on the ship — was primarily an attempt to control the damage to Israel's relations with Turkey, an unofficial sponsor of the flotilla. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were discussing sensitive diplomatic issues.
Israel is anxious to patch up ties with Ankara because it is the Jewish state's most important Muslim ally. At least four of the nine killed were Turkish and the ship Israel attacked was Turkish. Israel ordered families of its diplomats out of that country a day after Ankara branded the raid a "massacre."
Turkish lawmakers continued to express their outrage Wednesday, calling on their government to review its political, military and economic ties with Israel. The lawmakers also said Israel must formally apologize for the raid, compensate the victims and bring those responsible to justice.
In a step aimed at calming the furious response, Israel said Wednesday it planned to deport all the activists by the end of the day.
That would include about 50 of the nearly 700 activists on the ships who Israel said were apparently linked to the world jihad movement and possibly al-Qaida. Israel accused the suspects of attacking Israeli troops rappelling onto one of the ships and beating them with iron rods, clubs and knives. Originally, Israel planned on detaining them in Israel while police looked into possible charges.
But Israeli Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein said in a statement Wednesday that all the activists would be deported, including the 50 suspects. The statement said that "keeping them here would do more damage to the country's vital interests than good."
Israeli Cabinet Minister Isaac Herzog said the expulsions were an attempt to dampen criticism of Israel.
"We are trying to take full control of this crisis management and move forward," Herzog told The Associated Press, while indicating that Israel would reject calls from the U.N. and others for an independent inquiry. "We are the last nation (that) you can say doesn't check itself," he said.
Herzog defended Israel's blockade of Gaza, saying weapons Hamas could receive by sea could be used "against Israel and the region."
International envoy Tony Blair told The Associated Press that Israel should ease the blockade and let more supplies in. He said the blockade was "counterproductive," but said it would be hard to lift it because of Israel's objections.
Israel instructed the families of its diplomats stationed in Turkey to return to Israel immediately because of noisy demonstrations at the Israeli embassy and consulate and the high level of Turkish outrage over the raid.
In another bizarre twist, Israel unloaded supplies from the six boats commandeered during the raid and sent some of the goods toward Gaza, only to see the blockaded territory's Hamas rulers refuse to accept them.
Israeli security officials said they had loaded 20 trucks with equipment that was on the ships, including wheelchairs, toys, clothes and medicine. They said contrary to earlier claims, there was no cement on board.
The Hamas minister of social affairs, Ahmad al-Kurd, accused Israel of keeping batteries for the wheelchairs and withholding tons of cement carried by the flotilla. He said the government would not accept the aid until Israel frees everything confiscated from the ships, but later said the aid would be picked up when all detainees were released.
Hanin Zoabi, an Arab lawmaker who sailed with the activists, was heckled when she took the podium in the Israeli parliament Wednesday.
"Go to Gaza, you traitor," Miri Regev, a lawmaker in the ruling Likud Party and former Israeli military spokeswoman, screamed in Arabic.
Despite the outcry over the raid, the Palestinians were resuming indirect peace talks with Israel Wednesday through U.S. envoy George Mitchell.

Emilia Clarke: Game of Thrones nude scenes were 'terrifying'
The actor who played Queen Daenerys says she's been pressured to shoot naked since the show, but is 'a lot more savvy' now
Emilia Clarke has revealed she felt uncomfortable acting in some of her nude scenes in Game Of Thrones.
The British actress played queen Daenerys Targaryen in HBO's sprawling epic, which became notorious for its explicit portrayal of sex and violence.
Clarke, who was 23 when she started filming Game Of Thrones, said she would be in tears before shooting certain "terrifying" nude scenes.
Speaking on actor Dax Shepard's podcast Armchair Expert, she said: "I took the job and then they sent me the scripts and I was reading them, and I was like, 'Oh, there's the catch!'
"But I'd come fresh from drama school and I approached it as a job: if it's in the script then it's clearly needed. This is what this is and I'm going to make sense of it and that's what I'm going to do and everything's going to be cool.
"I've never been on a film set like this before. I'd been on a film set twice before then, and I'm now on a film set completely naked with all of these people, and I don't know what I'm meant to do, and I don't know what's expected of me, and I don't know what you want, and I don't know what I want.
"Regardless of there being nudity or not, I would have spent that first season thinking I'm not worthy of requiring anything. I'm not worthy of needing anything at all."
Clarke, now 33, said she had "imposter syndrome times a million", but credited Game Of Thrones co-star Jason Momoa with protecting her.
On the podcast, Shepard brought up a season one scene in which Momoa's character, Khal Drogo, "virtually rapes" Daenerys on their wedding night.
"He was crying more than I was," Clarke replied.
"It's only now that I realise how fortunate I was with that, because that could have gone many, many, many different ways," she said. "Because Jason had experience – he was an experienced actor who had done a bunch of stuff before coming on to this – he was like, 'Sweetie, this is how it's meant to be, this is how it's not meant to be, and I'm going to make sure that that's the fucking gaze.' He was always like, 'Can we get her a fucking robe? She's shivering!' … He was so kind and considerate and cared about me as a human being."
Since Game of Thrones, she said, she has become "a lot more savvy" with what she's comfortable with, and with the level of nudity that's needed for a scene. "I've had fights on set before where I'm like, 'No, the sheet stays up,' and they're like, 'You don't wanna disappoint your Game of Thrones fans.' And I'm like, 'Fuck you.' "
Representatives for HBO and Game Of Thrones creators David Benioff and DB Weiss have been contacted for comment. [Source]

Warcraft Movie Release Date Set December 18, 2015
by Karlene 1 Comment
Blizzard Entertainment has announced yesterday, October 1st, in a tweet, the official release date for their movie Warcraft. The film was first announced at E3 back in 2006.
We're pleased to announce that @Legendary Pictures' WARCRAFT will be released by @UniversalPics on December 18, 2015.
— World of Warcraft (@Warcraft) October 1, 2013
The film is being directed by Duncan Jones, and is rumored to feature actor Colin Farrell. Spider-Man director Sam Raimi was at one point involved, though he would later drop out, claiming Blizzard "mismanaged" the film. It is believed to have a budget that exceeds $100 million.
The plot is largely unknown, but there have been past reports that tell us it could have "time travel and alien worlds". Production on the film will begin in January. Some are excited and others think this is a huge mistake. Guess we will just have to wait and find out.

However, many people who have a diagnosed learning disability prefer to use the term 'learning difficulty'. They feel that the term 'learning disability' implies that they cannot learn at all.
There is a far wider group of parents with learning difficulties, who do not have a diagnosis and would not generally fit the eligibility criteria for support services in their own right. Parents with learning difficulties may face a wide range of barriers to bringing up their children successfully, and often recognise that they need practical support and help to enable them to learn to be the best parents possible.
Historically IQ testing was used as an assessment method in an attempt to categorise degrees of learning disability, however, modern assessments use a broader approach to assess strengths and needs, and should be part of a person-centred approach to care and support planning, leading to a person-centred plan describing what is important to and important for the individual to live a good life with as much choice and control as possible.
The additional support needs of parents with learning disabilities include the ability to meet a child's developmental needs, as well as their own; personal care of the child; preparation of meals and drinks; attending to the child's health needs; parental involvement in indoor and outdoor play; support in education and help to identify potential risks to their child(ren).
Where a parent has a learning disability it will be important not to make assumptions about their parental capacity. Having a learning disability does not mean that a person cannot learn new skills. Parents with learning disabilities can be 'good enough' parents when support is put in place.
Some parents with learning disabilities will only need short-term support, such as help with looking after a new baby or learning about child development and childcare tasks. Others,however, will need on-going support. Most may need support at various different points of their family's life cycle.
If services fail to coordinate effectively, parents with learning disabilities are at risk of falling through the gap between the provision of services for children and the provision of services for adults. As a result, some parents may miss out on support services that they need in order to prevent problems from arising. Early help and Family Support services should be considered at an early stage in order to prevent future harm to the child and to promote the child's welfare.
The context in which people with learning disabilities have children is one that has been dominated by the perception of risk and the assumption that their parenting will not be good enough. However, parents with learning disabilities can be 'good enough' parents when appropriate support is put in place. Adults with learning disabilities may need support to develop the understanding, resources, skills and experience to meet the needs of their children. This will be particularly necessary if they are experiencing additional difficulties such as domestic violence and abuse, poor physical or mental health, having a disabled child, substance misuse, social isolation / discrimination, poor housing or poverty.
Neglect through acts of omission rather than commission is a frequently stated concern; ultimately it is the quality of care experienced by the child which determines whether the parenting capacity can be regarded as good enough and whether or not a referral should be made for an assessment by Children's Social Care.
Similarly, women with learning disabilities may be Adults at Risk and targets for men who wish to gain access to children for the purpose of sexually abusing them.
Children may end up taking increasing responsibility for caring for themselves and, at times, for their siblings, parents and other family members. A referral to the local Young Carers Support Group may be appropriate.
A learning disability is a lifelong condition, and parents may need long-term support, which will need to change and adapt as the developmental needs of a child changes as they grow. Assessments must therefore consider the implications for the child as they develop throughout childhood and will need to re-evaluate the child's circumstances from time to time. Children may exceed their parent's intellectual and social functioning at a relatively young age.
Does the parent have poor physical health or a history of or current mental health issues?
Does the parent/carer's learning disability have implications for the child within school, attending health appointments etc?
Does the parent/carer's learning disability result in them rejecting or being emotionally unavailable to the child?
Does the child witness acts of domestic abuse, violence or is the child subject to violence?
Is there poor housing, housing problems or financial concerns impacting on the child?
Does the parent/carer have difficulty developing and sustaining relationships or have relationships that may present a risk to the child or are they socially isolated?
Does the parent/carer have poor parenting experiences from their own parents as a child or has a history of growing up a child looked after?
In relation to pregnant women, should a pre-birth assessment be arranged?
Professionals undertaking assessments must recognise that a learning disability is a lifelong condition. Assessments must therefore consider the implications for the child as they develop throughout childhood and will need to re-evaluate the child's circumstances from time to time. Children may exceed their parent's intellectual and social functioning at a relatively young age.
Where a parent with learning disabilities appears not to be able to meet the needs of their a contact to the Cumbria Safeguarding Hub should be made in accordance with the Multi-agency Thresholds Guidance (including Referrals); where the situation is an emergency, the local Police should be contacted immediately.
Children's Social Care, will undertake a multi-disciplinary assessment using the Local Protocol for Assessment, and include input from Adult Services and other relevant agencies. Specialist learning disability and other assessments should be considered as a means to determine whether or not the parents require additional support to enable them to care for the child or whether the level of learning disability is such that it will impair the health or development of the child. Assessments involving families affected by parental learning disability should always include specialist input concerning the impact of learning disability.
All agencies must recognise that their primary concern is to ensure the promotion of the child's welfare, including their protection.
Where intervention is required to prevent children suffering impairment to their health or development or significant harm, Children's Social Care will lead assessment and planning with specialised input from Adult Learning Disability services.
It is particularly important to avoid the situation where poor standards of parental care, which do not, however, meet the threshold of significant harm to a child, subsequently deteriorate because of a lack of support provided to the parent. It is vital to recognise low levels of need, which, if unaddressed, are likely to lead to difficulties for parents and undermine children's welfare.
Where Section 47 enquiries conclude that there is no actual or likely significant harm it will be important that action is taken to prevent future problems arising.
Communication – communicating with parents in a way they understand.
Use of 'props', for example, containers which will hold the right amount of milk.
'Word banks' of words that parents can read and understand, to be used in written communications with the parents.
Interventions should increase the family's experience of social inclusion rather than cause or contribute to their social exclusion.
In February 2019, this chapter was revised throughout in line with case-law and updated good practice guidance.


Next year's Avengers 4 is already generating seemingly endless rumors, from what the official title will be to which heroes won't survive to see the credits roll.
One persisting rumor is that the Quantum Realm will play a major role in the movie. Between the Ant-Man and the Wasp's end credit scene and Tom Holland revealing that many of Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange)'s lines discuss the realm, many fans started speculating that the fictional other-reality realm will be an important plot element.
Speaking on On Air with Ryan Seacrest, Ant-Man and the Wasp actor Michael Douglas added even more support to the rumor when he called the Quantum Realm "the key" when he answered a question about how the Ant-Man movies will connect to Avengers 4.
"The Quantum Realm plays an important part in all the next chapters, I think, of the Marvel films," he confirmed.
It's unclear exactly how the Avengers may be able to use the realm to their advantage, but with half of the world's population (super and otherwise) wiped out at the end of Infinity War, it seems like messing with time and space may be the only way the beat Thanos once and for all.

When it comes to professional papers such as thesis, essays, research and other educational papers, one should not take any chances. One puts a lot of effort and hard work on his research study as it is the niche area, but it does not guarantee that one will be to write a crisp and concise thesis to showcase the years of hard work.
Doctoral students face a plethora of hindrances in earning their degrees, including obtaining final acceptance of their theses by university officials. Doctoral candidates often have to revise their papers after committee acceptance to eliminate problems with grammar, style compliance and formatting. It is frustrating complete as revisions are time consuming and the candidates must meet the deadlines for degree bestowal.
Doctoral candidates engage the services of professional writers to perform the final revisions. This ensures that their thesis will be free of grammatical errors and technical issues which can cause delay in acceptance and degree conferral. The four factors namely time and cost, stress, career impact, and expertise drives the successful editing of one's thesis.
Doctoral students must carve out significant amounts of time from packed schedules to attend class, study, and conduct research. They must strike a balance the high costs of their graduate programs with the household running expenses. In addition, they must also meet submission deadlines to ensure participation in graduation ceremonies. Additional credit hours to work on the dissertation, including its revisions, increases the cost. Time constraints, financial pressures, and graduate-school environments all contribute to student stress, which takes toll on most graduate students struggle with emotional fatigue.
Being so near to degree bestowal, doctoral candidates feel extreme stress when required to spend more time revising and correcting their thesis because of issues pertaining to grammar, style, and. Extreme stress can lead to lower productivity, decreased work quality, aggression and depression. Candidates are likely to miss significant errors while rushing through the revision process in order to meet graduation deadlines. This results in the need for more editing and revision. Candidates who are frustrated by the process may even feel they have failed and do not attempt further revision.
Revisions of thesis lead to delays in employment, salary hikes or role promotions. Most individuals pursue doctoral degrees to fulfill their career goals. Completion of the thesis or research projects and conferral of the degree are often required to achieve career advancement. Some candidates tend to abandon their goals of working in academia even if they do complete degree requirements successfully due to the delays in final acceptance and frustration with the system. Thesis often are the first major publications for these professionals. Anyone who reads a doctoral thesis receives a distinct impression of the writer.
Revising the thesis makes you a better writer and that certainly delivers a proficient write up!
Self-evaluation is very important and will even help to build up a self-critique inside you!
Revision is very important as it helps to correct the mistakes and make the necessary changes.
But what do I do if I have no time to revise?

Case Name Millien v Madison Square Garden Co. EE-NY-0299
Docket / Court 1:17-cv-04000-AJN-SLC ( S.D.N.Y. )
State/Territory New York
Case Type(s) Equal Employment
This is a class action suit regarding the legality of withholding an individual's background check report during adverse employment application decisions.

This is a class action suit regarding the legality of withholding an individual's background check report during adverse employment application decisions. On April 26, 2017, an individual who sought and was denied employment at The Madison Square Garden Company and MSGN Holdings, L.P. (MSG) filed this lawsuit in New York County Supreme Court. The plaintiff sued MSG for violations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and the New York State Fair Credit Reporting Act (NY FCRA). Represented by private counsel, the plaintiff sought injunctive and declaratory relief as well as compensation for damages and reasonable attorneys' fees. On May 26, 2017, MSG removed the case to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The case was assigned to Judge Alison J. Nathan and Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn. The case was later reassigned to Magistrate Judge Henry B. Pitman and then to Judge Sarah L. Cave.
The plaintiff alleged that MSG failed to provide job applicants with copies of their background check reports and other required notices before making adverse employment decisions as required by the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and the New York Fair Credit Reporting Act (NY FCRA). FCRA requires that employers using consumer reports to make adverse employment decisions must provide a copy of the report to the individual along with notification of its intent to take adverse action and a summary of the individuals' rights under FCRA. NY FCRA requires that an entity must provide a copy of the background check if it contains criminal conviction information.
On July 14, 2017, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint, adding a claim that MSG's refusal to hire individuals with past convictions violated the New York City Human Rights Law (NYCHRL) and had a disparate impact on Black and Latino applicants.
After various procedural delays and adjournments, MSG filed a motion to stay the proceedings, which the court granted on August 15, 2018. On June 24, 2019, the plaintiff moved for preliminary approval of a class action settlement, conditional certification of settlement classes, and approval of plaintiff's proposed notice of settlement, which the court granted on August 8, 2019. 2019 WL 3759501. On November 4, 2019, plaintiffs moved for certification of the settlement classes, final approval of class action settlement, approval of service awards, and attorneys' fees and expenses.
After a final hearing on November 19, 2019, the court granted the plaintiff's motion to certify a class and approve the settlement on August 7, 2020. Two classes were certified. The FCRA Class was defined as "individuals who were denied employment with MSG based on the content of his or her Background Check Report from April 26, 2015 through the date of Preliminary Approval of the Settlement," and the NYC class was defined as "individuals who applied for employment with MSG in New York City, New York and who were denied employment based on MSG's determination that they failed to fully or accurately disclose their criminal conviction history from May 8, 2014 through the date of Preliminary Approval of the Settlement" under Rule 23(a) and Rule 23(b)(3). 2020 WL 4572678.
Under the settlement, class members were awarded over $500,000 in damages in exchange for releasing MSG from all discrimination claims, and the court awarded $750,000 in reasonable attorneys' fees. Furthermore, MSG also agreed to change its policy regarding hiring and employment of those with criminal records. MSG would contract with a Consumer Reporting Agency to provide pre-adverse action letters to applicants denied employment based on their background checks. MSG would also only require that applicants disclose criminal conviction history for the five years preceding an application and would no longer require that applicants disclose convictions for possession of marijuana, except for convictions with intent to sell marijuana. If applicants did not fully or accurately disclose their criminal conviction histories, MSG would request an explanation for the lack of disclosure prior to making any adverse employment decisions.
The court entered the judgment on August 10. The settlement agreement is set to expire two years after the date of judgment or MSG's full compliance with the settlement's policy changes, whichever is later.

Good Friday for ecumenists, Bad Friday for Bible believers as Protestant ministers walk hand in hand with Rome
Psalm 1: "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish."
The Easter season is supposed to be a time to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ and his victory on the cross at Calvary.
However, dozens of Protestant clergymen and women (that we know of!) took part in ecumenical Good Friday walks in various towns and villages up and down Northern Ireland. Among the Protestant clergy who led these processions was 'Rev' Anne Tolland (pictured), 'minister' of Newtownbreda Presbyterian Church.
Such ecumenical processions were held in various areas, including Belfast, Antrim, Portadown, Ballycastle, Newtownabbey, Downpatrick, Lisburn, Craigavon, Lambeg, Stewartstown, Castlewellan and Ballymena.
These processions were all listed on the Parades Commission's website in advance of Good Friday, detailing which groups were organising and in most cases specifying the individual churches taking part. As an aside, it's probably the first time the Parades Commission has proven to be of use to true Protestants!
Interestingly, the walk from Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church in Boho, County Fermanagh, to Boho Parish Church, which we addressed last week, was not listed, though perhaps it did not meet the Parades Commission's criteria for the submission of an application for a procession.
We will now list every ecumenical group / church dishonouring the gospel of Christ in their Good Friday Walk of Compromise:
Ballynafeigh Clergy Fellowship (Belfast)
Antrim Clergy Fellowship
Churches Together in Portadown
Ballycastle Church Action
Whitehouse-Greencastle Shore Road Churches (Newtownabbey)
Downpatrick Churches Together
Lisburn Inter-Church Clergy Fellowship
St Saviour's Church of Ireland, Craigavon
Lambeg Churches
St Patrick's Donaghendry, Stewartstown
Castlewellan Area Bible / Prayer Group and Churches Forum
Ballymena Church Members Forum
To save readers the need to count them up, that's a total of 12 different ecumenical processions polluting the streets of Ulster, which once stood resolutely for the truth and purity of the gospel.
However, there remains now just pockets of faithful believers standing for the truth, and even fewer who are willing to speak out loud and clear against such departure from the gospel and fulfil the charge of Jude v 3, which is that "ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints".
Many of these ecumenical processions were followed later in the day by ecumenical church services, further compounding the sinfulness of these groups and churches.
And we will list the churches involved in each of these organisations which held these Good Friday Walks of Compromise:
Ballynafeigh Clergy Fellowship – Newtownbreda Presbyterian Church, Holy Rosary, Ballynafeigh Methodist Church, Cooke Centenary Presbyterian Church, St Jude's Church of Ireland
Antrim Clergy Fellowship – All Saints Church of Ireland, Antrim Methodist Church, St Comgall's Roman Catholic Church, High Street Presbyterian Church
Churches Together in Portadown – St John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church, Seagoe Parish Church (Church of Ireland), Edenderry Memorial Methodist Church, Armagh Road Presbyterian Church, Epworth Methodist Church, Salvation Army
Ballycastle Church Action – Ballycastle Presbyterian Church, Church of St Patrick and St Brigid Roman Catholic Church, Holy Trinity Parish Church (Church of Ireland)
Whitehouse – Greencastle Shore Road Churches (Newtownabbey) – Whitehouse Star of the Sea Roman Catholic Church, St John's and St Ninian's Church of Ireland, Whitehouse Presbyterian Church, St Mary's Roman Catholic Church, Greencastle Methodist Church
Downpatrick Churches Together – Downpatrick Presbyterian Church, Downpatrick Methodist Church, Down Church of Ireland Cathedral, St Patrick's Roman Catholic Church
Lisburn Inter-Church Clergy Fellowship – Seymour Street Methodist Church, First Lisburn Presbyterian Church, Christ Church (Church of Ireland), Lisburn Church of Ireland Cathedral, Railway Street Presbyterian Church, Lisburn Christian Fellowship, St Patrick's Roman Catholic Church
St Saviour's Church of Ireland, Craigavon – The already specified church and St Anthony's Roman Catholic Church
Lambeg Churches – Derryvolgie Parish Church, Harmony Hill Presbyterian Church, St Colman's Roman Catholic Church
St Patrick's Church of Ireland Donaghendry, Stewartstown – The already specified church and St Mary's Roman Catholic Church
Castlewellan Area Bible / Prayer Group and Churches Forum – St Paul's Church of Ireland, St Malachy's Roman Catholic Church
Ballymena Church Members Forum – Ballymena Methodist Church, West Presbyterian Church, All Saints Roman Catholic Church, St Patrick's Church of Ireland
We have counted 34 Protestant churches taking part in these walks, representing congregations totalling, no doubt, thousands of Protestants.
In all these clergy forums and groupings, the Roman Catholic Church is involved, despite the fact that the Roman Catholic Church teaches a false gospel of works and merit, not the true gospel of salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.
Ephesians 2:8-9 says: "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast."
Nothing we can ever do will mean we have earned salvation. Rome teaches of various means to earn a spot in heaven, including pilgrimages and rituals, as well as paying into its coffers.
This is what God thinks of such falsehoods and their propagators. Galatians 1:8-9 says: "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed."
Romanists damn their adherents to hell by failing to tell them how to get to heaven, and one must ask of these churches taking part and their leaders, do they believe we are saved through faith alone? Are these church leaders saved?
If these Protestant churches are so cosy with the Roman Catholic Church, they certainly cannot be faithfully proclaiming the Word of God, else the Roman Catholic Church would not take anything to do with them.
As those verses above from Galatians state, the curse of God is upon Rome and those Protestant churches, their clergy and their congregations are made partakers of their evil deeds by their association.
A great many churches and areas have been touched on in this post and we would encourage anyone reading this connected with any of these churches to take the minister to task for this betrayal of Protestantism, and if you know anyone connected with these churches, please share this with them to help spread the word and encourage church goers to make these neglectful shepherds account for their actions.
Here is a very sobering, fearful warning for so-called Protestant ministers who fail to warn their congregations of the danger they are in. Ezekiel 33:6: "But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand."
The blood of the sinner not warned of their need of salvation is on the hands of each minister who fails to discharge this vital duty.
How many of the churches listed above have ministers whose hands are dripping with the blood of unwarned sinners who have died and gone to hell?
