Cypress Creek celebrates inaugural signing day
February 13, 2019 By Kevin Weiss
Unlike just about every other high school in The Laker/Lutz News coverage area, Cypress Creek Middle/High School last year didn't have a National Signing Day event for student-athletes moving on to the college ranks.
That's because, the then first-year school on Old Pasco Road had no seniors, as it pulled strictly underclassman from Wesley Chapel and Wiregrass Ranch high schools.
Cypress Creek's athletics department made up for lost time this year, however.

Dozens of students and friends, coaches, teachers and staff, and parents and family members gathered inside the school's media center on Feb. 6 to celebrate the school's inaugural signing day, as seven senior student-athletes representing four sports signed their National Letters of Intent (LOIs) to various institutions.
National Signing Day is held annually on the first Wednesday in February, a day where thousands of athletes nationwide can sign a binding letter of intent with a member school of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).
The school's softball program yielded the most signees, with four — Payton Hudson (Pasco-Hernando State College), Jasmine Jackson (Savannah State University), Ashley Nickisher (Newberry College) and Neely Peterson (Colorado State University).
Baseball (Ray Camacho, Saint Leo University), football (Devin Santana, Lindenwood University-Belleville) and girls' lacrosse (Jordan Alvis, Huntingdon College) had a signee apiece, respectively.
Among the group of seven, Peterson arguably represented the most notable signing.
The All-State catcher is one of the nation's top softball players — ranked No. 63 on the Extra Innings Softball Extra Elite 100 national rankings for 2019.
Her stats underscore the national standing.
As a junior last season, Peterson posted a .544 batting average, seven home runs, 14 doubles, 27 runs and 43 RBIs. Defensively, she registered a .984 fielding percentage, with 57 putouts and five assists.
Peterson will set foot upon Colorado State's campus in August as the Division I softball program's first signee from the state of Florida.
She verbally committed back as a freshman — after being the first high school freshman offered a scholarship by a Colorado State athletic program.
Peterson boasted offers from several other blue-blood softball programs.
But, she fell in love with the Fort Collins, Colorado-based campus and the coaching staff's family-like atmosphere at a softball camp there. Additionally, she has a chance to make her mark quickly, in line to be the team's starting catcher next season.
"I've been waiting for this moment for so long," Peterson said, of finally signing the dotted line. "It feels great.
"I love making history, so it's great to be able to do this for our school," she added.
Peterson also expressed joy for her fellow softball teammates who signed alongside her; each was redistricted from Wesley Chapel following their sophomore seasons.
Said Peterson, "It's really awesome, because just to see that everything they've worked for is kind of paying off, just as much as it is for me, because I get to see them hustling and all the hard work they put on the field, so just to see them find their future home makes me feel good."
The inaugural signees were each met with balloons and celebratory cake, along with countless cheers and photo requests during the hourlong event, as memorabilia from each choice institution was visible in the room brimming with onlookers.
"It's great, like being around all these great athletes, just knowing I'm a part of that, of creating a culture of great athletes for this school," Devin Santana, who will play wide receiver at Lindenwood, said of the ceremony.
Becoming Cypress Creek's first college football signee has added significance for Santana, who transferred from Wesley Chapel after his sophomore season.
"It's crazy, like it's a great feeling," he said. "It's a little nerve-wracking, because there's a lot of pressure on me, but like I feel like I have the tools around me to be successful."
Cypress Creek athletic director Justin Peliccia coined the event "a good look for our program."
"It's amazing to be able to put on this ceremony for the athletes, their parents and their coaches," the athletic director said. "Having seven athletes move on to the next level, it's just an awesome experience for myself as the athletic director, and the program."
Peliccia was particularly complimentary of the varsity softball program — and its four signees — which collectively posted a 15-9 record and 10-4 district mark last spring.
"It was great to see a program roll out the end of the year and kind of bring us into, 'Look, we have opportunities, we have chances, we do have athletes here, and we can make some noise.'"
Peliccia acknowledged that although many of the school's varsity sports programs struggled in the school's first year, strides have been made this year. He mentioned boys' and girls' soccer, and football, as a few who've upped their win totals.
"All of our programs this year have taken a step up," he said. "Everything has taken a step ahead, which is what we want. Everything needs to develop and grow."

Local athletes sign with colleges

Dozens of local high school athletes signed their letters of intent (LOI) on Feb. 1 to various colleges and universities as part of National Signing Day, held annually on the first Wednesday in February.
Once again, schools in our coverage area were well-represented.
Wiregrass Ranch High School led the way with 13 signings, followed by Land O' Lakes High with nine. Other high schools, including Gaither and Steinbrenner, featured a handful of signings.
While Zephyrhills High had just one signing, it was arguably the most memorable.
Bursting with emotions and tear-filled eyes, senior running back/safety Antwione Sims signed his LOI to play football at the U.S. Naval Academy.
The day signaled a redemptive moment for Sims, who missed his entire 2016 senior season after tearing his ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) last March.

Oftentimes, football players — even those as talented as Sims —have athletic scholarships withdrawn after a serious injury, particularly from Division I programs.
But, Navy upheld its offer.
"It's a blessing to have (this) opportunity," Sims said, "because not everyone has that…"
Putting pen to paper marked the end of a "long journey" for the 5-foot-11, 208-pound gridiron star.
It, too, signals the beginning of a new one.
"It's not about the next four years," Sims said, "it's about the next 40."
Sims, one of the most dynamic athletes in Pasco County, was one of just four football players from the county to sign with a Division I football program.
The others were Wiregrass Ranch quarterback/kicker Chris Faddoul (Florida A&M University) and defensive lineman Jason Winston (Stetson University), and Wesley Chapel safety Ellrie Allen (Florida A&M University).

Sims, though, is the most high-profile prospect of the group.
At one point, the consensus three-star recruit had scholarship offers from nearly a dozen schools.
His recruitment picked up steam after he rushed for a school-record 2,093 yards and 24 touchdowns in 2015.
Despite that production, he won't likely play in Navy's offensive backfield.
Instead, he's expected to contribute in their defensive backfield, as a safety.
Sims noted he started closely following Navy's football program "ever since they started recruiting me."
On the surface, he made a solid selection.
Navy, renowned for its vaunted triple-option offense, went 9-5 in 2016. Under coach Ken Niumatalolo, they've had a winning season in eight of the past nine years.
Sims' choice is about more than football, however.
"I feel like making this decision will allow me to set myself up for life," he said.

Home Jet News Jets Hire Henry Ellard, Sutton To Coach LB
Jets Hire Henry Ellard, Sutton To Coach LB
Courtesy NY Jets PR Department
The New York Jets have announced the hiring of wide receivers coach Henry Ellard, running backs coach Anthony Lynn, secondary coach Dennis Thurman and assistant secondary coach Doug Plank. The team also announced that Bob Sutton will return as senior defensive assistant/linebackers. The announcements were made by head coach Rex Ryan.
Ellard joins the Jets after eight seasons as the wide receivers coach with the St. Louis Rams (2001-08). Under Ellard's tutelage, the Rams' Torry Holt posted seven consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons and reached 11,000 career yards in 131 games, faster than any other player in NFL history. He also coached at his alma mater, Fresno State, in 2000.
A second-round draft choice of the Los Angeles Rams in 1983, Ellard finished his 16-season NFL career with 814 receptions for 13,777 yards and 65 touchdowns for the Rams, Redskins and Patriots. Ellard is tied for 19th in NFL history in receptions with former Jets WR Keyshawn Johnson and is eighth all-time in receiving yards.
Lynn spent the last six years as a running backs coach in the NFL, earning two-year stints with the Browns (2007-08), Cowboys (2005-06) and Jaguars (2003-04). In his first season at Cleveland, Lynn worked with Jamal Lewis, who finished fifth in the NFL with 1,304 yards rushing despite missing two games. At Dallas, Lynn oversaw the emergence of the effective duo of Julius Jones and Marion Barber III. At Jacksonville under Lynn, Fred Taylor recorded two of the top four single-season rushing performances in Jaguars history.
Lynn began his coaching career with the Broncos as an offensive assistant and assistant special teams coach (2000-02). As a player, he earned two Super Bowl rings as a running back with the Broncos in 1997 and 1998 during his seven-year NFL career.
Thurman coached the Ravens secondary from 2002-07 alongside Ryan. During his Ravens tenure, the team led the NFL with 126 interceptions and 18 interception returns for touchdowns while he was coaching, among others, Ed Reed (34 INTs, 2002-07), Chris McAlister, Samari Rolle and Deion Sanders. Before coming back to the NFL, he coached the defensive backs at his alma mater, Southern Cal, for eight years (1993-2000). He made his NFL coaching debut for the Phoenix Cardinals, coaching defensive backs for two seasons (1988-89).
Thurman, who had 36 career interceptions and played in Super Bowl XIII in 1979 during his nine seasons as a cornerback and safety in the NFL for the Cowboys and Cardinals, was a two-time All-America safety at Southern Cal, where he was part of teams that won four bowl games and the 1974 national championship.
Plank (Ohio State/Greensburg, PA) joins the Jets after working as a coaching assistant with the Atlanta Falcons. Plank was the head coach of the AFL's Georgia Force (2005-08), compiling a 47-25 record while guiding the Force to an ArenaBowl appearance in 2005. In 2008, the Force won their third Southern Division championship under Plank while earning a playoff berth for the fourth consecutive year. He was named the AFL Coach of the Year on two occasions (2005 and 2007) and led the team to a franchise-best 14-2 record in 2007. Plank spent three seasons as the defensive coordinator of the AFL Arizona Rattlers after serving as the team's radio and television analyst.
Plank played in three Rose Bowls for Woody Hayes, was a 12th-round pick in 1975 and started eight seasons for the Chicago Bears, where he was the first Bears rookie to ever lead the team in tackles. The Bears' "46 Defense" of the Eighties, developed by Buddy Ryan, father of Rex Ryan, was named after Plank's uniform No. 46.
Sutton is entering his 10th season with the Jets. A former head coach (1991-99) and assistant coach (1983-91) at Army, he originally joined the Jets in 2000 as linebackers coach before being named the team's defensive coordinator in 2006.

Debt consolidation, debt settlement, and other debt relief programs in Virginia are available for those who are struggling to get out of debt. Being in debt is more common in Virginia than you might think. The average credit card debt a Virginian resident carries is over $5,000. Continue reading to learn more about Virginia's debt relief laws, socioeconomics, and wealth and poverty statistics.
Virginia has a collection of debt relief laws called Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) to protect residents from predatory lenders. Under Virginia law, a collection agency can only charge up to 6% interest rate. 75% of your disposable weekly earnings after tax or 30 times the nationwide minimum wage are also protected by Virginia's debt regulations.
The commonwealth has a statute of limitations on debt. Collection agencies can only take legal action within five years of the date you went past due on your payments. If the loan was taken out in another state, however, Virginia's statute of limitations doesn't apply. You would have to look up the statute of limitations from the state in which you borrowed the money. Virginia's statute of limitations is shorter for oral agreements and open accounts. A company only has three years in those instances to take legal action.
Virginia has a population around 8 million and is the 12th most populous state. Its total labor force is 3,597,100 with office and administrative support, sales, and food preparation and serving being the top three occupations with the most worker. The average credit card debt that Virginians carry is $5,329, which is higher than the national average of $5,235. Yet, Virginians have an average VantageScore credit score of 694, greater than the U.S. average of 687. Residents in the state also have a larger median household income of $64,631 than the national median of $51,017.
The three most populous cities in Virginia are Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and Chesapeake. The unemployment rate in Virginia Beach is 5.2%, the same as the state average. Norfolk's unemployment rate is 7.2% and Chesapeake's is 5.7%. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Richmond has the second highest poverty rate in Virginia of 24.6%. Lynchburg has the highest percentage of residents living in poverty of 24.8%. In general, the central city is where the racial minorities live in poverty, and the surrounding suburbs consist of wealthier whites.
Getting yourself out of debt is one of the first steps toward financial health. There are several debt relief programs in Virginia that you can sign up for to pay off your debt. These programs can help by consolidating your debts, decreasing the monthly payment, settling debt for lower amounts, and reducing interest rates. You have a higher chance of becoming debt-free when you follow a proven program.
Debt relief programs are ideal for people who feel overwhelmed trying to pay off their debt and need a helping hand. If you've been missing payments and struggling to pay your debt, then you're a prime candidate for debt relief. To qualify for a debt relief program, you must be able to make monthly payments into a settlement fund. For most people, the monthly payment into a settlement fund is lower than the total monthly payments on their debts.
Virginia has a large number of people in its state that could benefit from debt consolidation and other debt relief programs. Fortunately, Virginia has several laws in place to help protect consumers from predatory practices in the debt collection industry. There is a five-year statute of limitations on debt from loans with a written contract. For verbal agreements, the statute of limitations is three years. A percentage of your wages is also protected by state law.

Q: Adapting Library for Android The library given consists of several parts:

*

*a network module

*a storage module

*a 'controller' module

They all rely on the former module (storage relies on network, controller relies on storage). Most of the functionality is exposed in controller module.
My first plan was to wrap the whole library in a Service that serves as a Adapter for the Android world. But I found out that Services do not have a way to get a result back. So there is no (reasonable) way to call some of the 'getStuff'-Methods in the Controller Module.
What is the 'Android Way' of doing this?
Edit
The network module has to run continuously in the background cause it handles some ongoing network stuff. (so this should be a service, right?) The storage module listens for events from the network and updates itself. As these are POJOs the storage module is registered at the network module.
In the Android Part of the Application i have several Activities. All of these need to access the storage module. But there is no way to get a reference to it cause it is in the Service part of the application.
I would wrap all required methods in Intent responses, but afaik Service Intents can not be called with a result.
So ... how do i get my data from the service into activities?

A: Android build tools (well, Eclipse) support the notion of libraries. Just like any other Java library, a library might have a bunch of classes, some of them public, that consumers are free to instantiate and call. Other projects in the workspace refer to it and instantiate away. What's wrong with that approach?
EDIT: if the activities are within one app, the library code will be shared by default. Activities within one app all run in the same process (unless explicitly configured otherwise), so whatever underlying code is there, it's all shared.
If the activities are different apps, that's another question. Do you need to share the code, or the data? If just the code, then Android build-time libraries still work, as long as all said apps reside within the same workspace. Only if you need to run a set of apps on top of some shared data you have to employ IPC mechanisms - services, content providers. Another answer is the cloud. Another is shared memory (Android supports it). Yet another is a shared data storage somewhere on the SD card (so that app sandboxing does not get in the way).

A: Hmm... maybe I should have investigated more into bound services. They seem to do exactly what i want.

ISIS reduced to only '500 fighters hiding in just five square miles'
The Syrian Democratic Forces say they are in the "final battle" against ISIS, which once ruled an area the size of Britain spanning across Iraq and Syria

ISIS has been reduced to as few as 500 militants hiding in an area of northern Syria measuring just five square miles, according to reports.
The terror group overran huge swathes of Iraq and Syria when it declared its caliphate in 2014.
It was an area similar to the size of the UK at its peak in 2016 and nearly eight million people lived under its tyranny.
But now air strikes and military operations on the ground have pushed ISIS back to a final stronghold.
It is estimated around 500 die-hard fighters could remain in an area spanning only five square miles, although there is no exact official confirmation of these numbers.
The terrorists who remain are confined to the Syria's eastern province of Deir al-Zour, near the Iraqi border.
Mustafa Bali, spokesman for the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces, announced soldiers were in the "final battle" against ISIS.
Donald Trump, who is planning to pull US forces out of Syria, said on Wednesday he expected an announcement as early as next week that the SDF had reclaimed all the territory previously held by the jihadist group.
There were once nearly eight million people living under the terror of ISIS (

The enclave is close to the Iraqi border and comprises two villages, though Islamic State also still has territory in the part of Syria that is mostly under the control of the Russian and Iranian-backed Syrian government.
Senior SDF official Redur Xelil told Reuters the force hoped to capture the area by the end of February, but cautioned that
ISIS would continue to pose "great and serious" security threats even after that.
Islamic State redrew the map of the Middle East in 2014 when it declared a caliphate across large areas of Syria and Iraq.
But the group steadily lost ground and its two main prizes - the Syrian city of Raqqa and Iraq's Mosul - fell in 2017.
The whereabouts of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is currently unknown.

How quickly can a foreclosure occur in New York?
On behalf of Macco & Stern, LLP posted in Foreclosure on Friday, February 5, 2016.
For New Yorkers, their home can be a safe haven. Not only does provide shelter, but it is the source of many positive memories for most people. When financial problems threaten a person's home, that person can have a lot of different emotions. It is important for individuals who are facing financial issues to understand how these issues can affect their home ownership.
If you miss a payment on your mortgage, a series of steps will be enacted by the lender leading to a foreclosure. Through the foreclosure process, the lender will try to collect the money it is due by selling the property. A payment in New York is considered late after 16 days. Between day 16 and day 30, the lender can assess a late charge to your account. The lender will often try to make contact with you in order to determine why the payment was missed.
According to the New York Department of Financial Services, if the payment is still not made, between days 30 and 60, the lender can send a pre-foreclosure notice to you. This notice must be received 90 days before foreclosure will commence. In this notice, you must be given options of government approved agencies that provide housing counseling services.
Between days 45 and 60, the lender can send a letter to you notifying you that you have breached the terms of the mortgage. In this letter, you'll have 30 days to pay the delinquent amount on the mortgage and any late charges.
If the mortgage is still not paid for 90 days, the lender can initiate the process of foreclosure. This process can take many months and variety of steps will need to be taken. Typically, in New York a foreclosure can be completed about 15 months after the first payment was missed.
It is important for New Yorkers to understand how the foreclosure process works. There are many steps that can be taken prior to a foreclosure to avoid loss of your home. An attorney can give individuals specific legal advice about pre-foreclosure and foreclosure proceedings. This blog post should be used only for general information and attorney should be consulted for more specific requests.

We drove to Brisbane after leaving O'Reilly's and were mightily impressed by this compact little 'boutique' city. It's easy to get around, full of parks and even sports an artificial beach on the South Bank so you can swim in clean waters whilst looking at the glittering city centre.
If Sydney is a bit rough around the edges due to over use Brisbane is polished like a new penny, the rivers are charming and the city life spills perfectly over to the laid back leisure culture.
Sooner than I wanted we had to set off again and head south to meet some friends that lived near surfers paradise in a place called Robina.
Surfers paradise didn't impress me much being Australia's answer to the South of Spain, but the view from the public gallery of the Q1 building, the tallest residential building in the southern hemisphere, was worth a look. From there you could see the canals that snake their way behind the beaches where many people live.
We enjoyed some incredible seafood with piles of 'Balmain Bugs', a kind of slipper lobster, scallops and large prawns.


ISF Podcast: Who is the real insider threat to your business?
Insider threats account for 54% off all breaches, and are found at all levels of an organisation, from top to bottom. Numerous factors are increasing organisations' exposure to the threats posed by insiders, and technical controls are limited. To combat these threats, organisations must invest in a deeper understanding of trust, and work to improve the trustworthiness of all insiders.
The insider threat has only intensified as people have become increasingly mobile and hyper-connected, and with technology continuously advancing, the risks posed by insiders are only set to increase.
In this podcast, Steve Durbin, Managing Director, ISF discusses the most common types of insider threats, as well as how organisations need to take a holistic approach to tackle insider threats that include both technology and people when embedding security into their organisation's DNA.

South is waiting for positive response from TRNC: Venizelos
As talks continue for a diplomatic solution on Cyprus, Greek Foreign Minister Evangelos Venizelos has stressed that the Greek Cypriots were waiting for a "positive response" from the Turkish Cypriots to recent proposals, Turkish daily 'Hurriyet' reports.
Venizelos was talking, inter alia, about improving relations between mainland Greece and Turkey and the need to strengthen ties to improve stability in the Eastern Mediterranean.
"Our firm position is that an agreed, comprehensive, viable, functional and just solution can be reached based on the resolutions of the U.N. Security Council and the European acquis. In the present phase, we are awaiting an exchange of proposals from both sides on all the issues in the talks, as has been agreed on. We also think it would be positive if there was a favourable response from the Turkish Cypriot and Turkish sides to the very constructive proposals made by Cypriot President [Nicos] Anastasiades for the adoption of confidence-building measures, with the focus on the opening of Famagusta," he said.
He also pointed to the importance of Cyprus in Turkey's EU accession process. "Of course, the implementation the long-awaited Additional Protocol to the Ankara Agreement, and the normalization of Turkey's relations with the Republic of Cyprus, would impart significant momentum to Turkey's European perspective. Greece continues to support systematically and sincerely this perspective, so long as Turkey meets its accession obligations," Venizelos said.
He also linked the Cyprus solution to the question of minority rights on the island. "I would like to note that the implementation of the Additional Protocol, the normalization of Turkey's relations with the Republic of Cyprus, compliance in practice with the principle of good neighbourly relations, and respect for fundamental rights – including religious freedoms and minority rights – are prerequisites for the accession of every candidate country; prerequisites that all the member states have agreed on.
Consequently, they concern not only Greece and Cyprus, but the EU as a whole. The EU's calls for the meeting of these terms and prerequisites should be taken as an opportunity for the promotion of democratic reforms and respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, as well as for the practical manifestation of good neighbourly relations," he said.
"Respect for international law – and particularly for the Law of the Sea – and the achievement of a just and viable solution on the Cyprus issue, in accordance with the U.N. Security Council resolutions, could really change the regional state of affairs, making the Eastern Mediterranean a pole of regional stability that could contribute to European energy security. It would also bolster growth, create new jobs, and contribute to the promotion of regional cooperation," Venizelos added.

ARCH8002 is run as an intensive field course which aims to provide students with experience in excavation, stratigraphic recording, site planning, artefact recording and an understanding of the complex relationships between sites and the landscapes in which they occur. Emphasis is on learning and refining high level technical skills and understanding how these can be applied to better understand archaeological site formation processes and environmental management issues at the site scale, working in Australia, Southeasy Asia and the Pacific.
Students are advised that this course carries extra costs, additional to course fees, of return flights to and from Vanuatu and a contribution towards accommodation on the island.
* Plan and execute the design and delivery of a team research exercise in a remote area as a desk-top exercise.
* Acquire primary archaeological field data in georeferenced form to a high standard for archive purposes or research.
* Work to a high standard and safely within remote area conditions.
* Relate the significance of archaeological and environmental data from a site and its setting to local regional and national policy frameworks and issues of value and significance.
* Demonstrate understanding of community consultation and ethical considerations.
For the 6 unit version: Indicative assessment to include Key issue review paper (20%); portfolio of data, field drawings, images, maps to a professional archive standard and self-reflective digital and written diaries of daily field experiences and group tasks/discussions (70%) and de-briefing group participation (10%). Total word length equivalent to 6,000 words maximum. For the 12 unit version: load will be normally be double the load required for the 6 unit version and will include a focused research report of maximum 6000 words additional to the assessment requirement for 6 units.
Workload will be appropriate to 6 - 12 unit value. The course will involve a pre-course briefing, 14-16 days field training, and a research report.

For the first time it was mentioned in the documents in the beginning of the XVI century as a village in the compound of the Gory and Goretskoe estate. In the year 1619 L. Sapega, the Great Chancellor of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania gave the right on the self-government to the inhabitants. In June—August of the year 1708 the Russian troops, headed by A. D. Menshikov and B. P. Sheremetiev settled down over there. From the 9th of July until the 16th of August 1708, Tsar Peter the First stayed over there. The hill, where the tsar's headquarters were situated, was named the Peter's hill. Another hill has been called Mazepa's hill, starting from the Northern War times.
In the year 1840 an agricultural school was established over there, later transformed into the Gory and Goretsky Agricultural Institute in the year 1848. Since the year 1925 the Goretsky Agricultural Institute has become the Belarussian Agricultural Academy.
The Gorky district was formed on the 17th of July in the year 1924. The industry is represented by 12 enterprises of different forms of ownership including such ones as: "The Gorki creamery and cheese factory" Open Joint-Stock Company, "The Gorki flax factory", "The Gorki forest economy", "The Gorki woodworking combine" Unitary municipal enterprise, "Prema" Open Joint-Stock Company and the others.
The main point of interest in Gorki — The Belarusian Agricultural Academy is an architectural and historical monument.

Which companies are affected by these changes?
All businesses are affected, but the changes mainly affect business-to-consumer (B2C) sales and online marketplaces, including businesses within and outside the EU that sell to customers within the EU. *
These changes simplify procedures and reduce paperwork. There can also be wider implications for the way you do business within the EU.
The three biggest changes are:
1. REMOVAL OF THE VAT EXEMPTION ON IMPORT OF € 22
2. INTRODUCTION OF A ONE-STOP SHOP (OSS)
3. CERTAIN ONLINE MARKETPLACES BECOME VAT RECIPIENTS
1. Lifting of the VAT exemption on imports of € 22
From July 1, 2021, VAT will be charged on all commercial goods imported into the EU, regardless of value. For shipments with a value of 150 euros or less, this can either be charged at the time of sale using the new Import One-Stop Shop (IOSS), or collected from the end customer by the customs declarant (FedEx).
EU companies that sell goods online that are located outside the EU to customers within the EU can choose to use IOSS. If you want to know more about the Import One-Stop Shop (IOSS), go to the website of the European Commission.
What does this mean for my business?
EU companies selling goods within EU member states will not be affected by the abolition of the € 22 threshold. However, EU companies selling goods imported into the EU will no longer free shipments worth less than € 22. import of VAT.
How does this work in practice?
An online company in Germany sells a pair of € 10 socks to an EU customer in Germany. This pair of socks will be shipped to the customer from China.
Before July 1, 2021
The shipment can be imported VAT-free to the EU because the value of the goods is less than € 22.
After July 1, 2021
VAT is charged on all shipments, regardless of value. The VAT rate of the country in which the customer lives is applied.
Companies no longer have to register for VAT in every country in which they sell if they sign up for OSS. But along with the introduction of the OSS, the EU is also ending the system of VAT thresholds for buying or selling. This means that from the first sale companies have to charge the VAT rate of the EU country in which the customer lives, instead of when a certain threshold is reached.
Instead of having to register for VAT in multiple countries in the EU, they have the option to file a monthly OSS declaration that includes all their sales within the EU. The VAT is paid to their local tax authorities, which then forwards it to the countries in question.
This reduces the complexity and costs of complying with international VAT regulations for online sellers, thus simplifying international trade.
An exception to the rule: EU companies that sell less than € 10.000,00 per year internationally to B2C goods and services can charge their domestic VAT rate and report these sales on their domestic VAT return.
A French e-commerce company sells electronics to customers in five other EU countries.
The company is obliged to register and declare VAT in each EU country and to charge customers their local VAT rate if sales in the country exceed a certain threshold.
The company can choose to end its foreign VAT registrations and declare all EU sales through a single OSS VAT return in its own country. The company must charge the VAT rate of the country in which the customer resides, regardless of the total turnover in that country.
To register through the One-Stop Shop (OSS), companies must register on the OSS portal of their EU Member State from April 1, 2021.
3. Certain online marketplaces become VAT collectors
Market places that fall within the new EU VAT rules are, for example, online platforms that facilitate the sales transaction. They make it possible for sellers to sell their goods directly to customers.
Certain marketplaces will now be responsible for collecting, declaring and remitting VAT from the end user, rather than the sellers. This system applies to international or domestic transactions, regardless of value.
Businesses using online marketplaces may be able to deregister for VAT in the EU Member States, as it will be the marketplace that will be deemed to be the supplier of the goods and thus responsible for collecting the VAT. This lowers the administrative burden for EU sellers.
An e-commerce company in the EU sells a € 90 vase to an EU customer in another Member State, through an eligible online marketplace.
The EU company selling the vase is responsible for charging the VAT and paying the VAT to the authorities.
The marketplace where the vase is sold is responsible for charging the VAT and paying the VAT to the authorities.
* EU countries are: Belgium; Bulgaria; Cyprus; Denmark; Germany; Estonia; Finland; France; Greece; Hungary; Ireland; Italy; Croatia; Latvia; Lithuania; Luxembourg; Malta; The Netherlands; Austria; Poland; Portugal; Romania; Slovakia; Slovenia; Spain; Czech Republic; Sweden.
Note: Under the terms of the EU-UK Joint Protocol, Northern Ireland will continue to be part of the EU VAT territory for goods. This means that these new provisions also apply to goods imported to Northern Ireland from the rest of the world.

I have the same problem. I have iTunes 9.2.1 and an ipod classic.
I have the same problem with YamiPod 1.8 and iTunes 9.2.1.5.
I executed iTunes and nothing change.
I have an iPod Nano 4 Gb.
The first time I executed YamiPod it asked me what type of iPod I have, in the list shows some versions and for iPod Nano there are 1G, 2G, 3G and 4G versions.
I don't know what version is my iPod Nano and I selected 1G.
Then YamiPod always shows the error message "Your firmware is unsupported, quitting...".


Thank you for joining us on our launch podcast episode. Welcome to Vault to Investment Real Estate Success – the home for those wanting to start investing in revenue real estate or purchase multiple investment properties, build a strong financial foundation, unlock sustainable wealth and create a living legacy.
If you dream of supplementing your income or build wealth from investment real estate then you're are listening to the right podcast.
Vault to Investment Real Estate Success is all about inspiring, teaching and supporting real estate investors from around the world to create a strong financial foundation that not only serves your families and makes the world a better place to live – but builds income streams and a living legacy.
Part of this episode is dedicated to revealing our untold story. We began purchasing investment real estate in 2002.
Purchasing investment real estate has been and is a family affair. I have such a firm belief in the power of investment real estate and the positive impact it can have on your financial foundation, creating sustainable wealth and a living legacy.
I have been coaching my family members and joint venture partners since 2005 and in 2012 started a full-time investment real estate coaching business.
You may be wondering why a Podcast show?
Why I'm talking about investment real estate versus real estate investment? It's because there's a big difference. I want you to think of investment first and real estate as the vehicle second. Investment real estate is a way of saving, sharing, securing, investing and getting a return on capital; all these words project stability.
When you purchase investment real estate, you should have no problem sleeping at night and make money while you sleep. Investment real estate should help you capitalize, participate in, and advance your investment funds forever.
What do you need help with when it comes to investment real estate?
Most listeners to Vault to Investment Real Estate Success come with the dream of building income and wealth from investment real estate but also with one of standard needs or challenges.
As a result; we organized our podcast into four separate but connected themes regarding investment real estate. These themes are to help you find the content that best suits your needs.
In setting up the show's podcast calendar, we have divided the show into a four-week rotation, and each week we are going to review a theme. We will also have a supporting blog that will connect to the topic of that week.
You might be asking Rick how do you define yourself as a Blogger and a Podcaster? If you look at my background, you will see I have a degree in Adult Education with a minor in business. I have several certificates as a trainer and a coach.
The most important part of my education does not come from University or College it comes from real life. I am an active investment real estate investor and belong to a vast community of real estate investors.
I define myself as a teaching and coaching blogger and Podcaster; the how-to- kind of blogger and Podcaster.
Most of my podcasts and blogs are focused on how-to-content. I am not a passive teacher or coach. I will challenge you to learn and take action.
I will start each podcast or blog with a question, a problem, a process, a task, or a goal that someone is trying to achieve.
We will end each podcast with a call to action. A call to action moment I call; Ready, Set, Goal.
I have heard many Podcasters say it took them up to several hundred podcasts to find their voice and feel comfortable.
Experience is a great teacher and coach. Every day I continue to get comfortable with my investment real estate experience, and from this growing experience, one of my goal's is to produce a show you deserve as an active listener.
Through the upcoming podcast episodes, we will get you ready to purchase your first investment real property, or we will get you set to acquire another piece of investment real estate. Whether you are at the Ready or Set stage of your investment real estate life, we are here to support you.
Today's call to action is in two parts; the first one is to click the subscribe button, to visit our website Vault to Investment Real Estate Success.com where you will find our blog and other supporting resources, please like us on Twitter @vaulttosuccess.

Towards a Mechanistic Model for the Messinian Salinity Crisis: Tectonic Uplift Competing with Erosion along the Betic-Rifean Corridors
Daniel Garcia-Castellanos
Both the timing and the processes involved in the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC) remain controversial. There is an agreement that the interplay between global sea level changes and the tectonic uplift of the connecting corridors in the Gibraltar Arc were the main control on the salinity crisis. But there is no full consensus, for example, on whether a kilometric drawdown ever took place, or when during the MSC would it have happened, or whether it may have occurred in multiple occasions intercalated by an equal number of floods refilling the Mediterranean. Two of the reasons behind these uncertainties are the absence of drillings that cross the entire evaporitic sequence in the deep basins and the lack of direct correlation between marginal and deep stratigraphy. I will focus on a third reason: the shortage for quantitative, process-based, mechanistic models that aim to account for the vast amount of multidisciplinary observations available on the MSC.
In this line, I will show forward models based on mathematical approaches to water-flow, erosion, salt precipitation, and climatic processes, in combination with an uplifting interoceanic seaway. The results show that seaway erosion by the Atlantic inflowing water allows a long-term connection of a few tens of meters between the Ocean and the Mediterranean by reaching a dynamic equilibrium with tectonic uplift. This imposes constraints on the timing and amount of drawdown expected for the first MSC stage. Furthermore, they suggest that the cyclicity observed in gypsum outcrops of that stage may be the result from harmonic coupling between Mediterranean evaporation, Atlantic inflow, and seaway erosion, predicting oscillations of the Mediterranean level of up to 500 m, and cycles of salt precipitation of 2-10 kyr, although this possibility calls for future independent assessment. More significant is the result that the predicted uplift rates required to block the inflow of Atlantic water are consistent with the present altitude of uplifted marine sediments (Iribarren et al., 2009; Babault et al., 2008) and with geodynamic models of a proposed lithospheric slab detachment under the Gibraltar Arc (Duggen et al., 2003; Wortel et al., 2004; Garcia-Castellanos & Villaseñor, 2011; Vergés & Fernàndez, 2012).

Child Labour Survivor Has a Dream of Freeing Others
By Lyse Comins

DURBAN, May 27 2022 (IPS) – Selimatha Dziedzorm Salifu was just seven years old when she went to work for the first time to support her family.
Born in the fishing village, Kpando-Torkor, in Ghana, Salifu, was forced to go out and work in the local fishing industry when her father Seidu died, leaving her mother, Mary, with six children to feed, clothe and shelter. The industry is well documented for child slavery and trafficking.
"When my daddy passed, I was drawn into child labour because mommy did not have something to take care of my siblings. She started travelling to the islands (on lake Volta) in a canoe to buy fish, and sometimes I helped her do that, and I helped other fishmongers who were in the same business," Salifu, now 25, told IPS in an exclusive interview. "I helped them get the fish ready for market, cutting and cleaning it, for a fee." She spoke to us on the sidelines of the 5th Global Conference on the Elimination of Child Labour in Durban, South Africa.
"I would wake up at 4 am and be there. We were a lot of children in the village so I had to get there early so I could get a customer. The boys would go out fishing, they didn't go to school, and some were ill-treated on the lake. They would get pushed inside the water to rescue the nets (when they got tangled). I found that when I would go to school, I was so exhausted, I would sleep in class, and my teachers would ask me why," Salifu said.
Her pay was just one or two Ghanaian cedis which could buy 'kenke' (similar to sourdough) and a little rice. Other children were often paid with just one small fish for their day's labour handling Tilapia fish, mudfish and electric fish, Salifu said.
Despite her arduous plight of juggling work and school to survive, Salifu had a dream: One day, she would be a teacher and help children like herself.
"Sometimes getting food on the table was very difficult, and purchasing a school uniform was very difficult. I almost dropped out of school, but the God I serve saved me. I had a vision to want to be a childcare practitioner, to have my own institution to support children on the street just like myself," Salifu said. "And then one day, I happened to meet this man at the river shore by my village, on the bank, going about my daily routine. I narrated my story to him, and he said he was going to talk to his team and they would help me."
That man was Andrews Tagoe, deputy general secretary of the General Agricultural Workers' Union of TUC. He is also a regional coordinator for Africa of the Global March Against Child Labour.
Tagoe had been working in the village, advocating against child labour, speaking to parents and educating them about the importance of sending their children to school rather than to work.
"I met the parents in the village and the fishermen and was talking about decent work and the fishing process and normal union issues," Tagoe said.
He said most parents wanted their children to become lawyers and doctors, yet they were out on the beach working during school hours.
"So, I got up and went and looked at the beach during school time at around 10 am and found the beach full of children involved in activities, carrying fish, and I looked to the left, and there were classrooms and teachers without children," Tagoe said.
Tagoe then made it his mission to reach out to the working children, like Salifu and began meeting with them and chatting about their lives, hopes and dreams.
"The parents also said that we didn't know the unions work with child labour. So, let's see what we can do to start a child labour free zone. There has been an enormous reduction in child labour, and more kids are now going to school," he said.
"Since 2000 to date, the union has helped more than 4500 children in the whole of the agricultural sector, from rice, cocoa and palm oil to lake fishing," Tagoe said.
A report by NORC at the University of Chicago has claimed that there are almost 1,6 million children involved in child labour in the cocoa industry alone in Ghana and the Ivory Coast.
NORC conducted surveys with children aged between 15 and 17 between 2008 and 2019, showing cocoa production rose by 62%.
However, the report acknowledged that the governments of Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana had implemented education reforms, such as free education and compulsory attendance to fight child labour. This led to children's school attendance from agricultural households increasing from 58 to 80 percent in Côte d'Ivoire and 89 to 96 percent in Ghana.
Salifu said Tagoe's team – she fondly refers to him as "daddy' – assisted her in remaining in school to follow her dream.
"I thought my prayers had been answered. They came to take responsibility for my school (work), purchasing my textbooks, and I was able to write basic education exams," Salifu said.
She went to school in the mornings and continued working afternoons to support her family.
Salifu completed her Basic Education Certificate and then worked for six months buying fish and selling it in nearby towns to raise money for Senior High School.
"Again, GAWU supported me by paying for some of my fees. I finished senior high at the age of 19 in 2016. I've always dreamed of being the greatest teacher in the world and owning my own institution, and working with children," Salifu said.
Her dream was partially realised when she got a job working at a local school before moving to Accra, where she studied at a Montessori teacher's training institution. She obtained her National Diploma in Montessori Training and took up a position at Tender Sprout International School in Accra.
"Where I am working, the children come from good homes and are even dropped off at school. But I want to go back to my community and help my brothers and sisters in the village and nearby communities and islands to help liberate them from child labour," Salifu said.
"I still want to build on my dream to help the orphans and get the children back home. My mom is very aged now too, so I need to support my other siblings and my mother at home. There is no money at home, so they look up to me. I need to go back to university to get a degree in early childhood education."
"God has saved me now because some mates my age ended up dropping out, and some had teenage pregnancies and STDs. I am very, very lucky," Salifu said.
Salifu hopes telling her story will be a voice to help those still trapped in child labour escape.
"I think our voices should be heard here so we can go back and launch a project with our brothers and sisters so we can help them. That is my motive for being here. The dream must be achieved," Salifu said.

Ranjung United was a football club from Bhutan, based at Changlimithang, that played in the Bhutan A-Division, then the top level of football in Bhutan, but since replaced by a full national league.

History
They finished seventh in the 2003 season, with only one win, a 6–1 victory over Druk United, and three draws from their eight games. It is not known when they first entered the A-Division, as they were not playing in the B-Division in the previous season, and details on the A-Division are incomplete for both that season and the ones prior. It is also not known whether they competed again, and there is no record of them competing in any future season for which records exist.

From Thomas Jefferson to the Senate, 25 March 1802
To the Senate
Gentlemen of the Senate
The act fixing the military peace establishment of the US. rendering it necessary that the officers retained in service should, in most cases be transferred into regiments different from those to which their commissions attach them, new commissions are deemed necessary for them, as well as for those entitled to promotion, and for the Ensigns newly nominated. the inclosed report from the Secretary at war exhibits the transfers, promotions, and new appointments proposed in conformity with the law: and I accordingly nominate the several persons named in the report, for commissions, according to it's tenor.
Th: Jefferson
March. 25. 1802.
RC (DNA: RG 46, EPEN, 7th Cong., 1st sess.); endorsed by Senate clerks as "Message of the President nominating Henry Burbeck and others to military appointments." PrC (DLC). Recorded in SJL with notation "Military nominations. general list." Enclosure: List of nominations for officers' commissions, with columns for name, present rank and unit, and rank "under the new organization"; arranged by regiment according to the new organization and by rank within each regiment, beginning with Henry Burbeck, lieutenant colonel of the first regiment of artillerists and engineers, proposed as colonel of the new regiment of artillerists; the list including officers of one regiment of artillerists and two regiments of infantry; also four engineers headed by Jonathan Williams as major, two surgeons, nineteen surgeon's mates, five candidates for commissions as ensigns in the infantry, Lieutenant Colonel Thomas H. Cushing as adjutant and inspector of the army, and Caleb Swan as paymaster of the army (MS in DNA: RG 46, EPEN; in Joshua Wingate's hand, signed by Dearborn; at head of text: "The following persons are proposed to the consideration of the President of the United States, for nomination to the several appointments annexed to their names respectively"; one emendation by TJ, expanding a reference to the existing "1 Reg: of Artillery" to include "and Engineers"; notations by a Senate clerk alongside names of Jesse Lull, Cornelius Lyman, and Zebulon M. Pike, for which see below).
Prior to the approval of the MILITARY PEACE ESTABLISHMENT act on 16 Mch., the army consisted of two regiments of artillerists and engineers, four regiments of infantry, and two troops of dismounted cavalry. Under the new act, which followed a plan that Dearborn gave to TJ in December, there would be only one regiment of artillerists and two regiments of infantry. The statute also authorized the president to establish a corps of engineers, which was to have initially seven officers and ten cadets. The corps, to be stationed at West Point, "shall constitute a military academy." Beginning on 18 Mch., Dearborn issued a series of orders to Thomas H. Cushing to start the reduction of the number of personnel and the reorganization of the regiments. Dearborn also ordered the closure of the quartermaster's department and the suspension of recruitments for the army (U.S. Statutes at Large description begins Richard Peters, ed., The Public Statutes at Large of the United States … 1789 to March 3, 1845, Boston, 1855–56, 8 vols. description ends , 2:132–7; Dearborn to Cushing, 18–22, 25 Mch., and to John Wilkins, Jr., 18 Mch., in DNA: RG 107, LSMA; Henry Dearborn's Plan for Reorganizing the Army, [7 Dec. 1801]).
APPOINTMENTS PROPOSED: Meriwether Lewis delivered this message on 25 Mch. The Senate took it up in executive session on the 26th and that day approved all but four of the nominations. The officers who did not gain immediate approval were Jesse Lull, a lieutenant of the 1st regiment of artillerists and engineers, nominated as lieutenant of the new regiment of artillerists; Cornelius Lyman, a captain of the 2d regiment of infantry, nominated for the same rank in the new 1st regiment of infantry; Zebulon Pike, major of the 3d infantry regiment, nominated for the same rank in the new 1st regiment; and Zebulon Montgomery Pike, first lieutenant of the 2d infantry regiment, nominated as first lieutenant of the new 1st regiment. The Senate referred those nominations to a committee consisting of Joseph Anderson, Stevens Thomson Mason, and Jonathan Dayton. On 31 Mch., Anderson reported that "from the information obtained respecting the rank" and "characters" of the officers, the committee recommended that "it would be expedient for the Senate to consent and advise to their appointment." The following day the Senate approved the appointments of the two Pikes, but postponed the other two. On 2 Apr., the senators postponed Lyman's nomination and rejected Lull's (JEP description begins Journal of the Executive Proceedings of the Senate of the United States … to the Termination of the Nineteenth Congress, Washington, D.C., 1828, 3 vols. description ends , 1:410–15, 416).
