FCC Plans to Advance Proposal to Change Device Marketing Rules
By Yaron Dori, Gerard J. Waldron & Corey Walker on November 23, 2020
Posted in Digital Health, Emerging Technologies, FCC, Internet of Things (IoT)
In what is expected to be one of the last meetings under the leadership of current Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") Chairman Ajit Pai, the agency will consider adopting a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking ("NPRM") that proposes to modify certain aspects of the FCC's device authorization rules. Specifically, the NPRM will propose to allow the importation and conditional marketing and sales of radiofrequency ("RF") devices that have not yet been approved under the FCC's rules. If the rule is ultimately changed, that means companies marketing RF devices for the first time will have the same flexibility enjoyed by some car companies and many other manufacturers to offer a product to the public before it actually can be shipped for use.

2nd Day Collection Of Mard Ko Dard Nhi Hota Box Office Report Worldwide Business Till Now: Mard Ko dard Nhi Hota is a Bollywood drama which is a comedy movie going to produce on 21st March 2019. The movie is made under the direction of Vasan Bala and the production work of the film is taken care by Ronnie Screwvala. The production house of the film is RSVP movies and Zee Studios has dictributed the movie. The lead charcater in the film were being played by Radhika Madan and Abhimanyu Dassani.
The movie is coming with an old saying 'Mard Ko dard Nhi Hota'. Usually we saw people and specially parents saying this to their boy child so that they stop crying and the young one do not show pain depending upon this line. So, in this line you will see the main character of the movie is insensitive to pain and do not know how it feels in case of pain. The story of the movie is quite good and we can expect that the movie can make a business of Rs 2-3 Cr on its opening day.
Mard Ko Dard Nhi Hota is coming with a story that will left the audience in laugh and will help to entertain the audience to full of its extent. Also, the movie is going to hit the big screens on 21st March 2019 and this will impact theater occupancy of the movie and we can expect a low day time movie occupancy which can increase in the evening as more and more people will be available in that time.
This comedy drama movie is going to hit the big screens along with 'Kesari' which is Akshay Kumars's starrer movie. Therefore, this will surely impact the theater occupancy of the movie and also the overall box office collection of the film. The opening day collection of the movie can be expected up to Rs 2-3 Cr and the weekend collection of the movie suppose to end with Rs 10 Cr.
All the figures which has been mentioned in this articles are based on the predictions. The actual figures depends on the world of mouth of the movie and can be different from the predicted one.


This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to support the North American automakers? need to develop and implement new technologies that will allow them to form the light weight, high strength metals required to support the 2025 56 mpg CAFÉ standard. This research?s objective is to study a proposed hydroforming machine design concept to support that need with a machine constructed from a novel type of composite intensive fabrication. The project seeks to research the design for strengths and weaknesses and to propose a final conceptproposal that has been validated through simulation to be suitable, viable and beneficial for forming OEM sheet metal panels. This project will create a robust prototype design suitable for production and an associated scheme of construction. It will use software to simulate the designs and reportthe projected performance properties of the envisioned concept design. In addition, it will construct a 1/5th scale prototype that will be used to physically validate the pressure containment system and material formability assumptions. If successful, the research will produce a viable, validated design that demonstrates the concept's suitability and readiness for full scale prototype implementation and development testing in Phase II. The broader impact/commercial potential of this project is to enhance scientific knowledge in the understanding and in the use of high strength polymer fibers in machine presses to contain fluids under high compressive pressure and direct those forces towards producing controlled hydroelastic deformation in metals. It is also to demonstrate how this can be done at cycle rates that are usable by the Automotive Industry. If successful, this will encourage prototype and low volume automotive production, potentially stimulating economic vitality in underserved and underutilized communities such as Detroit's Inner city through direct and indirect job creation.

English translation added by moderator: Just a small message of support and encouragement. Eagerly awaiting the DM42!
Is this where I should post to subscribe to a "The DM42 has been released" type notification?
I don't think there is such a thing!
I'm sure you'll hear about it here when it happens. It will be more than worth the wait!
Nitpick: It's the Intel Decimal Floating-Point Math Library -- Decimal, not BCD. BCD is a specific way of encoding decimal in binary, with each digit being encoded using a group of four bits, and the Intel library uses a different, more efficient, encoding internally.
encoding formats: the decimal encoding format, and the binary encoding format.
between the two encoding formats.
How does Intel lib perform computations - in decimal or in binary format with conversions to decimal?
Mostly in binary but some in decimal. From what I've seen thus far (which isn't a lot), a binary approximation is used followed by a decimal refinement.
The plan is to release the DM42 some time in Q4 2017 and we're in Q4 now. So yes, we are getting close to production-ready status.

Our dentists spend most of their time listening to understand your concerns and responding with the best treatment options for you. With the help of our professional staff, they also follow up to make sure that general pain is relieved, problems are resolved and your health improves.
This website provides you with an overview of our practice and the field of dentistry.

Please browse the site at your convenience and feel free to contact us with any questions.
Dr. Mahvash Khajavi-Harvey is one of the most qualified and respected Seattle dentists. She has been a dentist since 1997 and in private practice since 2003.
I have been going here for years and I continue to do so for one reason--Dr. Khajavi-Harvey. She is amazing. No matter how busy she is she always takes time to talk with you and to explore all options. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about her profession. I always leave feeling well cared for and well educated. I appreciate Dr. Khajavi-Harvey's honesty and I can tell that my well being is her top priority. Like some of the other reviews, I have had problems with the office in relation to my insurance, however, when there was a communication problem, they fixed it and did not charge me. It is good practice to always, no matter where you go, double check that the procedure being preformed will be covered by your insurance. Overall, I highly recommend Fremont Family Dentistry, especially Dr. Khajavi-Harvey!
I have went to DR Harvey for three years now and since the first of the month I had relocated to kent wa and am happy to still go and drive to balled just to continue to keep her as my dentist because they are so nice and are willing to put my teeth first and working with me on getting what I need to keep my health because now that I have type 2 Diabetes and my teeth are important to keep my Diabetes in check.
I cannot say enough nice things about this dental service. At this office, everyone is kind and patient, will answer any questions you have and provide excellent service. I will recommend them to all of my fiends and family.
I love Mahvash and all of her staff. She has taken care of my choppers for the last 8 years and all has been perfect. The staff is great (especially Jen!) and they get me in and out in a flash. I live and work nearby and love the fact that they have parking and a comfortable environment.
My wife and I have been patients for 4 years now and we always have a great experience when we come here. We have seen both Dr. Khajavi-Harvey and Dr. Newberry and they are very professional and knowledgable. I have had almost everything done here; cleanings, fillings, a root canal and crown and they always do great work. They were also able to extract my wife's wisdom tooth so she wouldn't have to to see an oral surgeon and pay a lot out of pocket. As for the rest of the staff, they are friendly and always make sure my experience is a pleasant one. Also, it's the only dentist I found in the area that's open on Saturdays!
I go to both the medical and dental side of this practise, and I'm thrilled with it. I'm a lousy patient, due to biology (hard time breathing through my nose) and past experiences (see other review...), and they're great about it here. They're willing to work with my doctor to get a Valium prescribed before my appointment, and while I don't think it does much, I really appreciate the gesture, and the sensitivity to my anxiety. The work done has been solid, and I really like that I can call with questions from the safety of my own house, as opposed to sitting in the chair when I'm feeling panicky and wanting to bolt. The receptionist laughs with me when I spaz out and show up an hour early to my appointment, and they've helped me with insurance weirdness and to reschedule at the last minute when I've had to run out of town for work. I'm never going to look forward to going to the dentist, but it's about as good as it gets.
Here in the big city, I feel lucky to have found a small caring family practice like Fremont Family Dentistry. Dr. Harvey and her staff are always friendly, gentle and competent. As a cash-pay patient without insurance, I can say their pricing is fair and reasonable. At Fremont Family Dentistry you are aren't just a number, you are a friend, a neighbor and a valued patient.
I've been a patient of Dr. Harvey for the last 5 years. I've had multiple cleanings, fillings, all wisdom teeth extracted & can honestly say that I am 100% satisfied with the work that they have done. I had a particularly tough extraction of a wisdom tooth and was near panic but Dr. Harvey was very gentle and reassuring throughout the procedure and it helped calm me down. I'm currently one year into my Invisalign treatment and I'm very happy with the results. She has made the experience much less intimidating & anytime I feel anxious or uncomfortable she has talked me thru it & explained just what is going to be happening and what I can expect. The scheduling and billing have been easy to deal with even when issues arise the staff in front is very easy to talk to and accommodating. I've had multiple insurance plans & even an HSA and they helped me out with all of them. In conclusion, I really feel that Dr. Harvey is the best health care professional I've ever had.

WASHINGTON — One of the most valuable aspects of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's vice presidential candidacy was her focusing national attention on the strengths and value of special needs children, says a pro-life leader and mother of a special needs child.
Palin's fifth child, Trig, entered the world in April prenatally diagnosed with Down syndrome. Advocacy organizations, along with parents of special needs children, agree that Palin helped raise awareness and appreciation for children diagnosed with special needs.
What effect Trig Palin's national profile — and his family's loving care for him — will have on the abortion rate for babies diagnosed with Down syndrome remains to be seen. An estimated 90 percent of unborn children diagnosed with Down syndrome are aborted, as are a similar percentage of babies diagnosed with spina bifida, cystic fibrosis and dwarfism, Sen. Sam Brownback, R.-Kan., has said.
While Palin was in the midst of campaigning this fall, Brownback and his allies were seeking passage of a bill to address the alarming abortion rate for special needs children. In late September, Congress approved Brownback's legislation to require doctors to provide accurate information and data on support services for parents whose unborn children are diagnosed with special needs. President Bush signed the Prenatally and Postnatally Diagnosed Conditions Awareness Act into law Oct. 8.
David Prentice, senior fellow of life sciences at the Family Research Council, said he hopes to see both Palin's national example and the Brownback legislation help reduce abortion rates and change attitudes toward those with disabilities.
"Even if all this did was save one life, it would be well worth it," Prentice said.
Dannenfelser believes it is too early to tell whether or not the Palin and Brownback factors will help reduce abortion rates. She said she hopes mothers will rise above the challenge when they have resources and support.
There is no question Sarah and Trig Palin gave a boost to families with special needs children. Parents of children with Down syndrome and other conditions said Trig's entry onto the national scene made them feel as if their voice had been heard for the first time.
Robin Steele, adoption awareness program coordinator for the Down Syndrome Association of Greater Cincinnati, sensed an atmosphere of excitement in the Down syndrome community when Palin gave birth to Trig, months before Palin was put on the Republican ticket. She said awareness of the scenario was publicized to the whole community.
Since giving birth to Trig, Palin has said she views children with special needs as a "joyful challenge" and "priority," rather than a burden. In a letter addressed to family and friends after Trig's birth, Palin referred to her son as an "absolutely perfect" baby.
Since Steele began working for the association 27 years ago, she has seen an increase in interest among families to adopt Down syndrome babies. She desires to see more.
Andrea Roberts also has a passion for helping parents adopt children with Down syndrome. She founded Reece's Rainbow, an international adoption ministry for children with Down syndrome. It helped facilitate 120 international adoptions for families in the last two years.
The ministry is a volunteered-based organization that serves as a "vehicle" for people to make donations to families toward the adoption process, Roberts told BP.
The Christmas Tree Angel Project, which is the organization's largest fundraiser of the year, lasts until Dec. 31. People have a chance to go to the organization's website and sponsor a child.


Turner Broadcasting System's GameTap service on Tuesday announced the release of Myst Online: Uru Live for the Macintosh. This is GameTap's first foray into Macintosh games.
Myst Online: Uru Live is the continuation of the story first introduced to Mac gamers more than a decade ago with the release of the original Myst. The game series describes realms of "Ages" created by an ancient, long-vanished race that had the power to turn books into portals to other places entirely, creations of their own imagination.
In Myst Online: Uru Live, you assume the role of an explorer who's examining the ruins of the D'ni, the civilization described in Myst — subterranean dwellers who created a vast labyrinth of intricately detailed buildings, and creators of many of the perplexing puzzles that entranced gamers in other Myst games. You and other explorers work as part of the D'ni Restoration Council to explore these domains and try to learn the secrets of the D'ni people.
Myst Online's arrival on the Macintosh was made possible using Cider, a translation layer engine technology that enables Intel-based Macs to run games made for Windows on the Macintosh, without having a separate Windows installation. It first appeared with Freeverse's release of Heroes of Might & Magic V and is also being used to make a Mac version of EVE Online, a massively multiplayer online role playing game set in outer space.
Like other GameTap offerings, Myst Online is being offered as part of a monthly GameTap membership that costs $6.95 per month. Unfortunately, Myst Online: Uru Live is GameTap's only Mac-compatible title at the moment, so you won't have access to the many other games that GameTap offers (unless you reboot your Intel-based Mac into Windows).
System requirements call for Mac OS X v10.4.8 or later, 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo processor or faster (Intel only), 512MB RAM, ATI or Nvidia graphics, 3GB hard disk space, broadband Internet connection. GameTap notes that Myst Online is not supported on Macs that use the GMA 950 graphics processor. That includes Mac minis, MacBooks and some low-end iMac configurations.
This story, "GameTap releases Myst Online for Mac" was originally published by PCWorld.

The Minister of Civil Service Affairs, I am told, made history some time back by convening all heads of ministries to a meeting to, as he puts it, "get to know you better principally because as heads of ministries and departments, you are the privileged partners of my ministry".
He reminded his audience that it was the vision of government to transform the civil service into a smarter civil Service, and enumerated five main themes to improve management, performance and service.
Today's civil service is a poor shadow of the civil service of post independent Mauritius when the best brains of Mauritius were recruited to steer newly-independent Mauritius to a better future. In fairness however we should acknowledge the fact that Mauritius could not find itself at the top of the "Mo Ibrahim" Index without a significant contribution from the Mauritian Civil Service. However the perception in Mauritius remains that the Civil Service is an onerous bureaucratic machinery, inefficient at all levels and served by an army of civil servants who are subservient to the political class. So when the Minister invites the Civil Service to respond to a new set of challenges and be prepared to face emerging ones, he should first of all inculcate new values to a civil service which lost its soul in 1983.
This occurred when the famous 1982 government amended the Mauritian Constitution under the guise of reinforcing our democracy by surreptitiously introducing an amendment to section 113 of the Constitution. Subsection (4) reads: " Where… an appointment is made to an office by the Prime Minister… or after consultation with him or with his approval… the holder of the Office may notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Constitution be required to vacate at any time after the general election the office held after the appointment".
The amendment brought to the Constitution was arbitrary and contrary to the principles of the rule of law. It affected Principal Assistant Secretaries, permanent secretaries and, latterly, senior Chief Executives, all of whom have through hard work made their way up the hierarchy. Following the insertion of section 113(4) in the Constitution the very soul of the civil service was taken away.
By a mere stroke of the pen, the new lord of the manor could erase years of hard work and this without having to give any reason. The higher echelons of the civil service lost their security of tenure and the author of the Bill in the National Assembly justified government's position by stating that it was natural for any government to be able to weed out those it considered unfit to carry out its policies. Once the higher echelons lost their security of tenure, and as a result their independence, their only path to survival since 1983 has been to cling to a culture of "yes Minister".
Soon after the proclamation of the amendment, a string of senior officials were sacked depriving the civil Service of many of its bright minds. Amongst the casualties Hervé Duval, Kanti Banymandhub, D. Purmessur all vilified and sacked for having apparently shown too much loyalty to the old regime. The Solicitor-General Edwin Venchard was also amongst the casualties and he left behind a void which is still being felt.
The Minister should first understand a smarter civil service implies a civil service that provides security of tenure at all levels of the hierarchy and also remains forcefully independent in its rapport with the political class. That does not mean that it should not discharge faithfully its mandate to serve the government of the day but simply to be able to work within known parameters and protect its integrity and honesty whilst carrying out the policies of government. At the same time the civil service should ensure that its decision is taken in a transparent and fair manner.

For a world so highly driven by research and technology, the appendix has largely remained an enigma for doctors. A thin tube, located in the lower abdomen and attached to the large intestine, the functions of the appendix are still open to speculation. Some research suggests it helps our body store good bacteria to help recover from digestive illness. There are also theories about the organ being a reminder from our evolution journey from ape to man. Although the organ looks and sounds pretty trivial, any disorder related to it can have serious implications.
The most common complication related to appendix is its inflammation or infection called appendicitis. In most cases it results in emergency surgical removal of the appendix known as Appendectomy, more commonly referred to as "appendix removal". In rare cases if left untreated, an infected appendix may also prove to be fatal.
The exact cause of Appendicitis is relatively unknown. Research suggests that people having a rich fiber diet have relatively less probability of suffering from it.
Based on the results of the above, the doctor may also recommend a CT scan to confirm the exact cause of the pain.
Since the appendix does not have a known important function, in most cases doctors recommend surgical removal of the organ. A minor infection can be cured through antibiotics and medication. However an untimely rupture of the appendix can prove to be fatal. Therefore in most cases surgery is viewed as the safest option.
Appendix removal is usually an emergency surgery, however standard pre operative procedure is recommended.
The patient is advised not to eat or drink anything. If the patient experiences severe cramping, nausea, vomiting etc, related medication may be started along with IV antibiotics.
The procedure can be performed through a direct incision or a laparoscopy; both require the patient to be given general anesthesia.
The affected area is usually shaved and disinfected.
If the patient has developed an abscess, a direct incision is required. A 3-4 inch incision is made in the lower right side of the abdomen. The abscess is drained of pus and fluid and the abdominal cavity is cleaned.
If the doctor uses laparoscopy smaller incision is made and the doctor inserts small surgical tools and a camera to view and remove the appendix.
In some cases the appendix may also rupture causing bacteria and fluid to spread into the abdomen leading to serious infection peritonitis. In this situation the doctor may advise draining the fluid by placing a tube and controlling the infection first. An appendectomy may be performed only after the infection is completely cured.
A standard surgery may last around 2-3 hours and sometimes longer in case of complications.
All vital signs of the patient like temperature, breathing, heart rate etc are monitored till the anesthesia wears off, typically 6-8 hours after surgery.
Within 12 hours after surgery the patient is offered clear fluids only for some time. Solid food is introduced gradually. After the patient begins eating normally and bowel movements look fine, IV is removed and light physical activity is allowed.
Antibiotics and pain relieving medication may be administered as per the instructions from doctor. The patient is monitored typically for 2-3 hours before being discharged.
The patient is given appropriate medication to be continued at home. Also the incision area must be kept clean and dry. Although normal routine can be resumed within a couple of days, heavy lifting, exercising or any strenuous activity should be avoided. However walking and limited movement are good for full recovery, typically within 4-6 weeks from surgery.
The doctor may also advise a follow up visit/check up after 2-3 weeks of surgery. The follow up visit may include a physical examination and removal of stitches/ staples from the incision area.
Although the probability of complications is very low, it is important to be aware of the risks and take proper post operative care.
The most common complication post operation is Wound Infection. It can be prevented easily by keeping the wound clean and dry.
In rare cases an abscess may also get formed in the incision area. Another uncommon complication is Stump Appendicitis. In this condition the patient may experience inflammation of the residual appendix.
Also in some cases patients develop cases of hernia or bowel obstruction in the long term. However maintaining a healthy diet and following your doctor's advice may prevent all of the above.

The College Football Playoff field is set, there's no way the committee could mess this up, right?
Three teams are locks to make the championship chase, USC has driver's seat to final spot
This should be easy, with the second word of this story being the most important: SHOULD. Even with the politics and affinity for the Southeastern Conference and other big-name schools, the College Football Playoff committee can't mess this one up, right? There are only two scenarios that can unfold this week. All four teams that should be in CFP qualifying spots come Tuesday night — Georgia (12-0), Michigan (12-0), TCU (12-0), and USC (11-1)— all play in conference championship games this weekend. It's the most simple idea to state if they win, they're in. Because it's true.
In reality, three of those four teams are in the CFP win or lose this weekend. If Georgia loses to LSU, the Bulldogs' effort to repeat as national champions is still on. Michigan can't possibly lose in the Big Ten title game to Purdue, could it? Even if the Boilermakers somehow take the trophy, it's the New Year's Six that gets thrown into chaos, not the four-team race for a national champion. Even though TCU won five one-score games this season, even a loss to a strong Kansas State team doesn't deny the Horned Frogs their first trip to the playoff, negating some of the bad juju from 2010 and 2014.
The three FBS teams to end the regular season undefeated need to be rewarded. Power Five champion or not, and I wouldn't bet against any of them to get win No. 13 this weekend, all should already have a 100 percent chance of making the four-team field. Then there's USC. A 1-point loss to fellow Pac-12 Championship competitor Utah is the Trojans' only blemish. A late Utes' score downed them on Oct. 15. If USC wins the rematch, it's in the playoff. No doubt about it. It's only a matter of the order of the top four. If USC loses the rematch to Utah, the Pac-12 will be shut out of the CFP for the sixth straight season. And there's only one suitable team to replace the Trojans — Ohio State.
Did the Buckeyes look like a top-four team in the country on Saturday? Nope, and where they would fall from that one performance isn't particularly close. However, Ohio State would be the only one-loss team left to pick from. The list of teams to not be in a conference championship game with one or zero losses: Ohio State. That's it. By USC losing a second time, it'd be disqualified. No team has ever made the CFP with two losses. The committee would have nowhere else to turn. The Buckeyes would make it in at No. 4. There's no other way, meaning the main slate of conference championship games on Saturday would be to jostle for position in the CFP, not acceptance or denial. USC's bout with Utah is Friday night.
Washington getting smacked by Alabama in the 2016 semifinals was the last time the Pac-12 got an invite to the exclusive four-way dance, by far the longest streak in the short history of the College Football Playoff. The Big 12's two-year hiatus will end this season, and another team besides Oklahoma will represent the conference in the two-game chase for a title. The Big Ten was shut out in 2017 and 2018. The ACC's streak, largely held up by Clemson, will extend to a second season after Sunday's straightforward selection ceremony. The SEC is the only conference to have a representative in every playoff. That's what hangs in the balance for the Big Ten-bound Trojans.
Any deviation from the scenario above would be asinine from the CFP committee. If TCU gets blown out by Kansas State, it's prone to drop to No. 4, but that's it. Georgia and Michigan should be the top two unless they lose, even with a TCU blowout win because of how dominant they've looked for long stretches of the season. Should USC lose, it would be interesting to see if the committee avoids giving Michigan the No. 1 spot no matter what, which would also delay a possible rematch between Big Ten rivals. Several months after a Final Four matchup of Duke-North Carolina, getting a huge rivalry game in the postseason must also be whetting the appetites of college football's most powerful. We've narrowed the possible-national-champions list to five. Getting the list to four should be academic. Any alternate timeline would be unwelcome chaos.

Scotland rejects independence from the UK in a much discussed referendum
By Kerry Brown
UNIFIED VICTORY: Pro-Union supporters celebrate in Edinburgh, Scotland, on September 19, after 55 percent of Scottish voters rejected independence in a referendum one day before (XINHUA/AFP)
On September 18, the UK contemplated a fundamental change to its national existence. The coalition government headed by Prime Minister David Cameron voted into office in May 2010 promised in 2012 to hold a referendum to decide whether Scotland remains part of the UK or becomes independent. He did so after immense pressure from the Scottish National Party, headed by Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond, who said that the citizens residing in the northern part of the British main island needed to decide whether to stay as part of the UK or become an independent country.
Complex history
With a population of 5.3 million, Scotland is home to less than 8 percent of the UK population. And yet it is an area rich in resources, with oil fields in the northern oceans and good agricultural and financial sectors.
The specter of Scotland going independent after 307 years of union with the rest of the UK was a troubling one. Before 1707, Scotland had existed as an independent country, but one that sometimes shared monarchs with England, as it did under King James I from 1603. This history between England and Scotland was often a fractious and violent one.
A land with a different ethnicity, language and customs for most of the period up to the Middle Ages, Scotland was unconquered by the Romans during their occupation of the British Isles from the first to the fourth century. Edward I as King of England famously prosecuted savage wars in the northern borders, brutally executing William Wallace, one of the main Scottish rebel ringleaders in 1305. Wallace's story was given modern wide exposure in the 1990s Hollywood blockbuster, Braveheart. The Battle of Bannockburn in 1314 saw the English forces defeated, and an English treaty recognized Scottish independence in 1328. Despite this, the separate countries of England and Scotland were closely linked to each other for the ensuing centuries. The 1707 Union, however, created one country in which they both existed as separate territories, alongside Ireland and Wales.
In this union, England has always been dominant in terms of population, political and financial power. This lies behind the rising trend in recent years for more autonomy and self-government in Scotland. These were initially met by devolving an increasing series of powers from the Westminster National Government. Under Prime Minister Tony Blair in 1999, a Scottish national assembly was established, with the ability to decide legislative and administrative issues. However, tax-raising powers and national defense remained largely in the hands of the central government.
The complex interlinked history and management of their different affairs helps explain some of the reasons why the vote held on September 18, which rejected independence by a majority of 55 percent to 45 percent, was such an emotionally highly charged and difficult one. Complaints in Scotland for many years have grown about the manner in which they are dealt with by the Central Government. There is anger over the ways in which resource money is seen as going straight into the tax coffers of the Central Government rather than being used locally. These complaints work both ways. Many English residents feel that Scotland is overly subsidized and gets preferential treatment. These issues are ones that Cameron and his government in the aftermath of the vote will have to deal with.
