The buzz around the topic of FDA regulation of premium cigars (and the effort to stop it) has been unusually loud. That's because on April 12, the U.S. House of Representatives Appropriations Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, Food & Drug Administration and Related Agencies (a mouthful, we know) released its Agriculture Appropriations for fiscal year 2017, which addressed the issue of the FDA's proposed regulation. The Cliff's Notes: that subcommittee's appropriations language included prohibition against funding the implementation of any new FDA regulations of premium cigars. We posted a statement from Cigar Rights of America that goes into more detail on that.
Rep. Rosa DeLauro's (D-CT) amendment would have stripped the appropriations bill of protections for premium cigars. DeLauro's home state produces some of the world's most prized cigar tobacco.
Well, there's more news. Yesterday, the full House Appropriations Committee passed a version of that bill that retains the language exempting premium cigars from FDA regulation. In fact, Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) offered an amendment stripping the bill of the language that would protect premium cigars and that amendment was rejected by a 13-to-34 vote.
"This language is a symbol that Congress recognizes the unique differences of premium cigars, and that any effort by FDA to regulate them would run contrary to Congressional intent of the 2009 Tobacco Control Act," said CRA Executive Director Glynn Loope in a statement issued by CRA Tuesday.
If you haven't already, consider signing CRA's petition to exempt premium cigars from regulation by the FDA.

IRS Allows Taxpayers to Choose to Apply Final or Proposed Bonus Depreciation Regs
(Parker Tax Publishing November 2020)
The IRS provided a procedure for taxpayers wishing to apply the final and/or proposed bonus depreciation regulations under Code Sec. 168(k) to (1) certain depreciable property acquired and placed in service after September 27, 2017, by the taxpayer during its tax years ending on or after September 28, 2017, and before the taxpayer's first tax year that begins on or after January 1, 2021; (2) certain plants planted or grafted, as applicable, after September 27, 2017, by the taxpayer during its tax years ending on or after September 28, 2017, and before the taxpayer's first tax year that begins on or after January 1, 2021; and (3) components acquired, or self-constructed, after September 27, 2017, of certain larger self-constructed property and placed in service by the taxpayer during its tax years ending on or after September 28, 2017, and before the taxpayer's first tax year that begins on or after January 1, 2021. If the taxpayer retroactively applies the final or proposed regulations, the procedure also allows a taxpayer to revoke or make late elections under Code Sec. 168(k) for the taxpayer's tax years ending on or after September 28, 2017, and before the taxpayer's first tax year that begins on or after January 1, 2021. Rev. Proc. 2020-50.
Before the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), Code Sec. 168(k)(1) allowed a 50-percent additional first year depreciation (bonus depreciation) deduction for qualified property for the tax year in which the qualified property is placed in service by the taxpayer. Qualified property was defined in part as property the original use of which begins with the taxpayer. TCJA made several changes to Code Sec. 168(k). For example, the bonus depreciation deduction percentage was increased from 50 to 100 percent; property eligible for the bonus depreciation deduction was expanded to include certain used depreciable property and certain film, television, or live theatrical productions. The TCJA amendments to Code Sec. 168(k) generally apply to property acquired and placed in service after September 27, 2017, and to specified plants planted or grafted after September 27, 2017.
On September 24, 2019, the IRS published final regulations in T.D. 9874 (2019 final regulations). The 2019 final regulations provide: (1) a 5-year safe harbor for determining if the taxpayer or a predecessor previously had a depreciable interest in used property; (2) a rule for determining whether substantially renovated property was used by the taxpayer or a predecessor before its acquisition; (3) that the acquisition date of property that the taxpayer acquired pursuant to a written binding contract is the later of (i) the date on which the contract was entered into, (ii) the date on which the contract is enforceable under State law, (iii) if the contract has one or more cancellation periods, the date on which all cancellation periods end, or (iv) if the contract has one or more contingency clauses, the date on which all conditions subject to such clauses are satisfied; and (4) that property manufactured, constructed, or produced for a taxpayer by another person under a written binding contract entered into prior to the manufacture, construction, or production of the property for use by the taxpayer in its trade or business or production of income, is self-constructed property for purposes of determining the acquisition date of such property.
Along with the 2019 final regulations, the IRS published proposed regulations (REG-106808-19) (2019 proposed regulations), which provided additional guidance beyond that provided in the 2019 final regulations. For example, the 2019 proposed regulations provided rules: (1) regarding property described in Code Sec. 168(k)(9), (2) for determining whether the taxpayer or a predecessor previously had a depreciable interest in (i) used property where the prior use was de minimis, (ii) property acquired in a series of related transactions, and (iii) property acquired by a consolidated group; (3) for using a look-through method for determining whether a partner was deemed to have a depreciable interest in property held by a partnership; (4) for determining when a contract to acquire a trade or business or an entity is binding; (5) for determining the acquisition date for property not acquired pursuant to a written binding contract; and (6) for components acquired or self-constructed after September 27, 2017, for larger self-constructed property for which manufacture, construction, or production began before September 28, 2017.
On November 10, 2020, the IRS published final regulations in T.D. 9916 which adopted the 2019 proposed regulations with modifications (2020 final regulations). The 2020 final regulations made several modifications to the 2019 proposed regulations as well as to the 2019 final regulations. For example, the 2020 final regulations modified the rules regarding: (1) whether the taxpayer or a predecessor previously had a depreciable interest in (i) used property where the prior use was de minimis, (ii) property acquired in a series of related transactions, and (iii) property acquired by a consolidated group; and (2) components acquired or self-constructed after September 27, 2017, for larger self-constructed property for which manufacture, construction, or production began before September 28, 2017. The 2020 final regulations also withdrew the complex partnership-look thru rule for determining a partner's prior depreciable interest in property held by a partnership. The 2020 final regulations also made a few modifications to the 2019 final regulations. For example, the 2020 final regulations: (1) clarified the application of the 5-year safe harbor for determining if the taxpayer or a predecessor previously had a depreciable interest in used property; (2) clarified the definitions of "predecessor" and "class of property" for basis adjustments under Code Sec. 743; and (3) modified the definition of "qualified improvement property" to reflect the amendments made to Code Sec. 168(e)(6) by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act).
Rev. Proc. 2020-50
With the publication of the 2020 final regulations, the IRS determined that guidance is needed for taxpayers that want to apply the 2020 final regulations, the 2019 final regulations, and/or the 2019 proposed regulations retroactively. Accordingly, the IRS issued Rev. Proc. 2020-50, which provides procedures for taxpayers wishing to apply the final regulations or to rely on the 2019 proposed regulations for:
(1) certain depreciable property acquired and placed in service after September 27, 2017, by the taxpayer during its tax years ending on or after September 28, 2017, and before the taxpayer's first tax year that begins on or after January 1, 2021;
(2) certain plants planted or grafted, as applicable, after September 27, 2017, by the taxpayer during its tax years ending on or after September 28, 2017, and before the taxpayer's first tax year that begins on or after January 1, 2021; and
(3) components acquired or self-constructed after September 27, 2017, of certain larger self-constructed property and placed in service by the taxpayer during its tax years ending on or after September 28, 2017, and before the taxpayer's first tax year that begins on or after January 1, 2021.
In addition, if the taxpayer retroactively applies the final regulations, or relies on the 2019 proposed regulations, Rev. Proc. 2020-50 also allows the taxpayer to make a late election under Code Sec. 168(k)(5), Code Sec. 168(k)(7), or Code Sec. 168/(k)(10), or Reg. Sec. 1.168(k)-2(c) of the final regulations or the 2019 proposed regulations, or to revoke an election under Code Sec. 168(k)(5), Code Sec. 168(k)(7), or Code Sec. 168(k)(10), or Reg. Sec. 1.168(k)-2(c) of the 2019 proposed regulations, for the taxpayer's tax years ending on or after September 28, 2017, and before the taxpayer's first tax year that begins on or after January 1, 2021.
Rev. Proc. 2020-50 provides various method change procedures for applying either the 2020 final regulations, the 2019 final regulations, or both the 2019 final regulations and the 2019 proposed regulations. The initial change in determining depreciation is a change from an impermissible to a permissible method of accounting and such change may be made by filing either: (1) a federal amended income tax return or amended Form 1065 for the placed-in-service year of the depreciable property and for the planting year of the specified plant on or before December 31, 2021, but in no event later than the applicable statute of limitations period for the tax year for which the amended return is being filed; or (2) a Form 3115 with the taxpayer's timely filed original federal income tax return or Form 1065 under the automatic change procedures in Rev. Proc. 2015-13, although consent will be granted by the IRS only if the taxpayer satisfies all other applicable requirements in Rev. Proc. 2020-50.

Dear Tax Professional,
My name is James Levey, and a few years back I founded a company named Kleinrock Publishing. I started Kleinrock out of frustration with the prohibitively high prices and difficult search engines of BNA, CCH, and RIA tax research products ... kind of reminiscent of the situation practitioners face today.
Now that Kleinrock has disappeared into CCH, prices are soaring again and ease-of-use has fallen by the wayside. The needs of smaller firms and sole practitioners are simply not being met.
To address the problem, I've partnered with a group of highly talented tax writers to create Parker Tax Publishing ... a company dedicated to the idea that comprehensive, authoritative tax information service can be both easy-to-use and highly affordable.
Our product, the Parker Tax Pro Library, is breathtaking in its scope. Check out the contents listing to the left to get a sense of all the valuable material you'll have access to when you subscribe.
Or better yet, take a minute to sign yourself up for a free trial, so you can experience first-hand just how easy it is to get results with the Pro Library!

A recap of UNGA75: an analysis
Home / News & Events / News / A recap of UNGA75: an analysis
As the United Nations (UN) marked its seventy-fifth anniversary, the UN General Assembly (UNGA) was tasked with managing its first-ever virtual meeting while COVID-19 continued to wreak havoc around the globe.
This year, after several rounds of negotiation, Member States adopted the Omnibus COVID-19 Resolution which acknowledged and emphasised the critical role of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations (UN) system in 'catalysing and coordinating' the global response to COVID-19. It underscored the need for international cooperation and solidarity to contain and overcome the pandemic through responses that are people-centred.
UNGA also served as a convening ground for Member States to coordinate the development of science- and evidence-based interventions to combat COVID-19 and tackle the challenges to current and future development goals. While there were no high-level meetings dedicated to health this year, Member States utilised this opportunity to address the threats and challenges to development issues as a result of the pandemic.
In the race for a vaccine, a battle for equity
As countries turn their hopes to a vaccine, the biggest task for the UN is to encourage and ensure distribution equity.
WHO launched the Access to COVID-19 Tools (ACT) Accelerator platform for COVID-19 testing, treatment, and vaccine distribution. COVAX, the vaccine pillar of the ACT Accelerator, pools funding from donors to help develop and distribute a COVID-19 vaccine. With this effort, WHO and COVAX partner organisations like Gavi and CEPI hope to counter individual country efforts to secure millions of doses. So far, COVAX has pledges totalling 2 billion US dollars, and WHO estimates a total of 16 billion US dollars will be required.
Vaccines coming out of this initiative will be made available to all member countries with the initial doses being restricted to a maximum of 20 per cent allocated to the most vulnerable population groups in each of these countries. While an effective vaccine is desired and equitable distribution necessary, one of the biggest challenges faced by institutions and governments alike is 'vaccine hesitancy'.
Even before the pandemic, WHO identified 'vaccine hesitancy' as one of the 10 leading threats in global health and this will continue to be a challenge for tackling COVID-19 as governments secure vaccine doses.
Wider consequences of the pandemic - disrupted healthcare, poverty and hunger
Globally, public health systems remain fragile, essential medical supplies are hard to access and movement restrictions are destroying hard-fought health and economic gains. For people living with noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), prevention and treatment services that have been severely disrupted since the pandemic began. Service disruptions manifest in various ways including limited access to rehabilitation services, postponement of public screening programmes, cancellation of planned treatments, lack of staff due to reassignment and lack of health workforce capacity. This situation is particularly challenging given evidence of people living with NCDs (PLWNCDs) having a higher risk of severe COVID-19 related illness and death.
The complex relationship between COVID-19 and NCDs results in a syndemic that exacerbates existing inequality and poverty.
In addition to fragile health systems, food insecurity remains a challenge as millions are pushed into poverty. The World Food Programme estimates that the number of food-insecure people in at-risk countries could rise from 149 million pre-pandemic to 270 million by the end of the year if assistance is not provided immediately. The UN appealed for 10.3 billion US dollars to respond to the crisis but have yet to reach half this amount. In this context, the UN and other organisations are extremely under-resourced to mitigate, contain and provide relief during and after the pandemic.
Recent estimates also suggest that up to 6,000 children could die every day from preventable causes over the next six months as a result of pandemic-related disruptions to essential health and nutrition services.
UNGA Omnibus Resolution on COVID-19
The COVID-19 Omnibus Resolution was adopted ahead of UNGA75 after numerous rounds of negotiation with many countries disassociating from contentious paragraphs. The resolution was co-facilitated by Afghanistan and Croatia and was adopted by the assembly with only the United States and Israel voting against it.
The resolution was inspired and expands on the World Health Assembly resolution on COVID-19 response adopted earlier this year. On NCDs, the resolution includes language on universal health coverage (UHC), health systems strengthening, provision of services for NCDs and mental health and the involvement of people living with disabilities. In particular, the resolution calls on Member States to:
Use a whole of government and a whole of society response to maintain health systems and strengthen primary healthcare, recognizing the importance of increased domestic financing and development assistance in achieving UHC;
Ensure uninterrupted and safe provision of population and individual level services for NCDs and mental health;
Strengthen efforts to address NCDs as a part of UHC and to recognize that PLWNCDs are at higher risk of developing severe COVID-19 symptoms and are among the most impacted by the pandemic;
Prevent, monitor and address the impact of the pandemic on older persons to ensure the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health;
Calls upon Member States and other stakeholders to include persons with disabilities in all stages of policy and decision-making related to COVID-19 response and recovery;
Recognises the important role of civil society, including NGOs, women's and community-based, youth-led organisations, as well as the academic and scientific community and the private sector in COVID-19 response;
Prioritise financing of the COVID response and UHC/PHC as a part of pandemic preparedness.

Tadorna är ett släkte med fåglar i familjen änder (Anatidae).

Beskrivning
Arterna i Tadorna återfinns i den holarktiska, etiopiska, orientaliska och australiska regionen och är en grupp medelstora, 50–60 cm långa, vattenfåglar som tillbringar mycket tid på land. Morfologiskt kan de ses som mellanformen av gäss och änder. Könen skiljer sig till viss del vad gäller fjäderdräkt bland flertalet arter och alla har i adult dräkt en karaktäristisk teckning på ovansidan av vingen som syns när den flyger. Armpennorna bildar en grön vingspegel, handpennorna är svarta och de inre täckarna är vita. De lever främst av mindre strandlevande djur som snäckor och krabbor men även av gräs och andra växter.

Systematik
Släktet Tadorna är mycket närbesläktat med nilgås (Alopochen aegyptiacus) och de utdöda arterna från området kring Madagaskar inom släktet Alopochen. Vithuvad gravand lyfts numera ut till det egna släktet Radjah efter DNA-studier som visar att den är systerart till både nilgäss och Tadorna i begränsad mening.

Arter i släktet
 Rostand (Tadorna ferruginea) – förekommer i sydöstra Europa, Asien och norra Afrika.
 Gråhuvad rostand (Tadorna cana) – förekommer i södra Afrika
 Paradisgravand	(Tadorna variegata) – endemisk för Nya Zeeland
 Australisk gravand (Tadorna tadornoides) – förekommer i Australien
 Tofsgravand (Tadorna cristata) – förekommer i nordöstra Asien, möjligen utdöd
 Gravand (Tadorna tadorna) – förekommer i Eurasien och norra Afrika

Fossil funna i Dorkovo, Bulgarien beskrivna som Balcanas pliocaenica kan istället tillhöra släktet gravänder.

Namn
Släktet benämns ibland med det svenska trivialnamnet gravänder, men två gravänder återfinns i andra släkten, Centrornis och Radjah.

In a New York press conference, Amazon (AMZN) will today introduce a new version of its electronic book reader, the Kindle. Part of the announcement will be that Amazon's acquired a new story by Stephen King and will make it exclusively available on the Kindle.
The story itself will supposedly involve a Kindle-like device. Spooky! Maybe it will be a story about how an electronic device from an online retailer could destroy an entire industry based on antiquated technology; wouldn't that be scary!
Scribner, which is King's publisher and an impront of CBS Corps' (CBS) Simon & Shuster, may publish the story in phyisical format later, reports the WSJ.

FriendFinder has been creating outstanding online dating communities since 1996.

People who thrive on being challenged, enjoy collaborating with others, and want to engineer solutions for people with common interests to connect find FriendFinder an exciting and rewarding place to work.
Ezra was CFO of FriendFinder from January 2008 until July 2014, and resumed the position in September 2015. After starting his career as an attorney at Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal LLP in Chicago, he served in various management positions at 7-Eleven, Inc. from 1982 to 2001, including corporate attorney, treasurer, and culminating as CFO. He also served as CFO of NationsRent, Inc. from 2001 to 2003, and as CFO of Cruzan International, Inc. from 2003 to 2007. He received his J.D. from the Illinois Institute of Technology Chicago-Kent College of Law.
Adult FriendFinder has been accused of committing systematic billing fraud.[15] According to the complaints filed, the company has a practice of continuing to bill customers even after they have cancelled their service. Former employees of the company have claimed that this is their standard policy and not the result of errors. These employees have stated that the majority of customers do not notice the charges for many months.[16][better source needed] As of October 2014, hundreds of civil cases have been filed against the company and a criminal indictment was made by the Federal Trade Commission against the company.[17] In 2007, Adult FriendFinder settled with the Federal Trade Commission over allegations that the company had used malware to generate explicit pop-up ads for the service on computers without user consent.[18]
On November 13, 2016, it was reported that a database of usernames, e-mails, and passwords had been breached and leaked from Adult FriendFinder and other FriendFinder Networks websites. The breach included 300 million Adult FriendFinder user accounts, including account data for 15 million accounts that had supposedly been "deleted". The passwords had not been encrypted at all, or encrypted with the obsolete and insecure SHA-1.[24]
Craigslist pulled its Personals section in response to the combined Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act and the Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act that Congress passed back in March 2018.[1] That law makes websites criminally and civilly liable for any misuse of personal ads by their users. The Missed Connections community lives on, though, under the Craigslist Community section.
He estimates that he would answer hundreds of ads, which might net about 10 replies, which might then lead to one in-person interaction. That's a LOT of email. But the encounters were memorable. "Usually the person I would meet would be someone unattractive or would have weird tendencies," he says. In one encounter, a woman insisted on having porn blasting the entire time. Another made him put on a blindfold the moment he arrived. "She was going to have sex with me, but I wasn't allowed to touch her," he recalls.

I also urge you at the same time to signup to the Match.com Free Trial and see the difference in quality you will get. That way you can compare the dating sites. People on Match are way more committed to finding a long lasting relationship compared to the Plenty of Fish Dating Site. The message response rate at Match is much greater and they have one the best female to male ratios from any other dating site.
"I was looking for someone I can build a meaningful relationship and I was so tired of the bar and lounge scene because I think single people are there for the wrong reasons. Shortly joining Asia Friendfinder, I found my wife and soul mate. We are now happily married for many years now and I'm so blessed to have found someone who will be with me for the rest of my life! Joining Asia Friendfinder was the best life changing decision I've ever made. Thank you, Asia Friendfinder!"
Due to this, the people at Grindr decided to bridge this gap and help people with a bit more exotic sexual preferences. Another big issue could be safety and privacy, as people with different sexual orientations may be under threat in some environments and this app can help them get in touch with each-other without facing any risks involved in public dating.

Future Female
Girls, geisha, cyborgs: sexy robot women in Blade Runner and beyond
I love Ridley Scott's Blade Runner. It's the kind of movie you could never be ashamed at listing in your top five – it's a film buffs' film, the kind of iconic picture that comes along rarely and then lingers in the canon, setting the bar for pretty much everything that comes next. Style (the 40s-meets-80s neo-noir), music (Vangelis' sweeping electronica), detail (the columns Scott demanded be turned upside down to show the design, much to the annoyance of the set dressers); Blade Runner is at once derivative and original, to brilliant effect. That, and it's a thrilling story that raises a host of questions about the nature of human (and not human) existence.
But Blade Runner is also a problematic fave. The lazy use of Asian culture to create a hostile and unfamiliar 'LA' atmosphere is one thing. Then you have the women. Blade Runner, like many sci-fi movies (like many movies full stop) has a serious issue with its representation of females. I say females, because there are no significant human women in this story. Let that sink in. One of the most iconic movies ever made has no human women in the narrative. Where females appear, their roles are highly sexualised and suggest that the female future is both limited and bleak.
Blade Runner is not alone in this, and not the greatest offender. In fact, the original movie, read in a feminist light, offers much food for thought, despite its ultimate inability to truly challenge the oppressive capitalist patriarchy it establishes. But its influence is undeniable, and begs the question: why is our culture so unimaginative when it comes to the future female?

Violent Delights ~ Thoughts on Westworld
Grab 'em by the pussy. You can do anything. – Donald Trump
In this era of endless reboots, remakes and re-imaginings, Westworld is hardly remarkable. A new version of the 1973 Michael Crichton movie (itself endlessly parodied), the series has been given the high-gloss HBO treatment, with a stellar cast and big budget. Its production has been beset by delays; its concept rehashes not only the original movie, but also a host of tropes harvested from across the science fiction genre. And yet, it may turn out to be the season's most relevant drama.

BSG Rewatch: 1.3-1.5
A rioting prison-ship led by a convicted terrorist. A rogue missile in the hangar bay. A dust-bound planet with a toxic atmosphere. Not to mention their own demons. As BSG Season 1 hits its stride, there's a hell of a lot more for our heroes to worry about than just killer robots. In three excellent episodes, Bastille Day and the two-parter, Act of Contrition and You Can't Go Home Again, the show maintains the thrilling mix of tight plotting and character work that made its opening installments so engaging.

BSG Rewatch: Mini + 1.1-2
It was 2007 and I'd just started my summer job at Christ Church in Oxford, doing admin for a summer school for mature students (mainly Americans aged over 60). It was to become a regular gig, and it was a really great job to have because it included a lot of free food, a nice place to stay over the summer and quite a bit of free time. The guests were usually interesting to chat to and I have a lot of great anecdotes from that time.
Anyway, the first weekend I arrived and moved into my amazing suite of two rooms, which I later discovered was once lived in by Lewis Caroll! I had a laptop and a Wheelock's Latin textbook to work through, but disastrously no internet connection. I soon realised I was going to need some way to amuse myself in the long stretches of downtime. The next day I popped into HMV and browsed their DVD stand, eventually picking up Season 1 of Battlestar Galactica, which wasn't too expensive for the amount of episodes included. I'd seen some of the original version when it was 0n BBC2 and something about this remake really caught my eye. Maybe it was the promise of a fresh reimagining of a show that had seemed fairly campy and silly; maybe it was the picture of Six punching Athena in the face that let me know there'd be some badass ladies. I don't remember what really sold me on it, but anyway, I bought it.
A few weeks later I had inhaled almost all three existing seasons. I fell in love with the mythology, the politics, the grey morality and the amazing female characters (hiiiiiiii Starbuck!) It became one of my all time favourite TV shows, and I was able to follow Season 4 in real time. I also introduced my friends to the show and we used to watch the DVDs together after finishing our essays and tute work, usually around midnight, so I got to experience it a second time. Then *that* finale happened, and I was so sad about it I didn't want to rewatch the show at all. Until this year…
So, join my lovely friend Jodie and me as we dive into a rewatch of BSG! Our reactions are grouped into four categories: Starbuck (the most impt, of course!); Mythology; Music; and the rather bloated Miscellaneous. Spoilers abound!

"What the Drilling Industry has Bought and Paid for in Campaign Contributions they shall Receive."
Justice William O'Neill (photo: Supreme Court of Ohio)
An Ohio Supreme Court decision last week compelled a justice to do something few public officials do when it comes to addressing the connection between campaign contributions and political favors.
After the court sided with drillers in a fracking regulation case in a 4-3 decision, Justice William M. O'Neill, who was in the minority, in his dissent wrote that "the oil and gas industry has gotten its way." Even more pointedly, O'Neill added: "What the drilling industry has bought and paid for in campaign contributions they shall receive."
What the industry received was a decision that said local governments cannot ban fracking within their jurisdictions. Only the state has such authority, according to Justice Judith L. French, who wrote the majority opinion.
Catherine Turcer, policy analyst for Common Cause-Ohio who supports greater campaign-finance transparency, told the Columbus Dispatch: "What I liked about Justice O'Neill's opinion was his willingness to point out the elephant in the room."
"In this case, the elephant got almost $1.5 million," Turcer said, referring to the $1.4 million that Ohio's oil-and-gas industry gave in contributions to legislators and other state officials in 2013-14.
French got $8,000 of that money, while another $7,200 was given to another justice who concurred with the majority decision.
In contrast, O'Neill took no money from industry … or anyone else for that matter. "He raised only about $5,000 in his 2012 campaign, all from his own pocket. He did not take a single outside campaign contribution," Darrel Rowland and Jim Siegel wrote at the Columbus Dispatch.

Fingers crossed whatever the gearbox needs is in stock so there are no hold ups, everything else is just minor tweaks.

Starting a piece of creative writing can be a source of frustration for many young people; so much so that it can lead to loss of confidence. If ideas aren't flowing, learners can quickly switch off and give up. Creative writing lessons, therefore, need to stimulate all of the senses and inspire students. Creative writing in the gothic genre – spooky stories – offers a wonderful opportunity for just this. This is a topic that always manages to enthuse pupils and one of the most exciting aspects is that the outcome is completely different with every group. Giving students time for thinking and the creation of ideas is essential. Therefore, this plan should be seen as just a starting point; it provides the stimulus from which a number of sessions can be developed. Subsequent periods can also focus on the development of different writing skills as required by the individual needs of a group. As a way into creative writing, this opener allows learners to be independent; an environment that enables them to thrive. Most importantly, it's a lesson that students always leave talking about!
Preparation is key to this lesson. For maximum impact, everything needs to be ready so that students enter the room and immediately feel a mysterious atmosphere. This can be created by closing blinds, turning off the lights, playing spooky music and displaying an image on the whiteboard of an old, decrepit, haunted-looking house (easily sourced from the internet). It is great to see students entering the room and looking around confused, wondering what is happening and therefore immediately engaged!
Ideally learners need to be seated in small table groups; this should be a buzzy lesson with lots of group discussion and sharing of ideas. As they take their seats they see on their table a map/floor plan of a house with a cross in one of the rooms; it's one of the rooms from the house displayed on the board. This can be easily created in a word document using text boxes to create the floor plan and labelling each room. The idea is that each table will focus on a different room.
On each table an instruction card for the starter activity is also displayed. This should say something along the lines of: 'As a group create a word wall of spooky words to describe the room you are in. Be as ambitious as possible! You have 5 minutes'. This could be completed on A3 paper or on post-it notes to stick up on the wall next to them; students will then have created their own bank of vocabulary that will help them in later parts of the lesson.
This lesson works well if very little is said by the teacher to the whole class. This adds to the mysterious atmosphere because students have to read and find out what to do at different stages. The teacher very much facilitates the learning in this lesson, by circulating the room, supporting and stretching groups as appropriate.
As the 5 minutes for the starter activity draws to a close, the spooky background music should be turned off and a short, shocking sound should be played. This could be a scream or a crash, for example. As this point another slide should be displayed on the board to move students onto the next stage of the lesson. This could read: 'What has happened? Write the opening for a spooky story about a mysterious incident that has happened in the room you are in. Discuss for 5 minutes.' Students are now using their imaginations to create a plot for their gothic story; it is important that students are encouraged to discuss and develop ideas before beginning the writing stage.
After a few moments, the final slide of instruction can be displayed. This time, students are told: 'Time to start writing. You have 25 minutes to use the clues so far to write the opening to a spooky story. Remember your objectives – be imaginative and use ambitious vocabulary to achieve a spooky effect.' Spooky background music can be played throughout the writing stage. It is also important that learners have access to a thesaurus in order to locate more ambitious vocabulary.
The lesson can be used as a starting point and developed in a number of ways… + Subsequent lessons/home learning activities could focus on developing other writing skills such as structuring a plot from beginning to end, using literary devices or using a variety of sentence structures and punctuation for effect.
+ The written work could lead into a speaking and listening lesson where students devise, rehearse and perform dramatic readings of their stories. + Students can explore a variety of gothic literature, researching different writers in the genre, reading different works and learning about the conventions of the genre. They can then develop their work to incorporate more of these conventions themselves.
How imaginative is the piece?
How exciting did you find the story?
How ambitious is the vocabulary? Does it achieve the desired spooky effect?
How would you like the group to improve the piece?
What questions can you ask the group to help them develop the piece further?
The following lesson can then begin with students considering this feedback in order to improve the work they have begun in this lesson.
Provide a word bank or sentence starter bank.
Provide additional resources to inspire ideas; further images or props, for example.
Provide a wagoll (what a good one looks like) as a model of a piece of spooky writing.
Allocate an expert to mixed ability groups who is asked to fulfil additional responsibilities as group leader.
Provide a 'challenging criteria' card as a checklist of skills that more able students should aim to demonstrate.

High School football: Sacred Heart Prep's Carter Shaw delivers with big catch to beat Half Moon Bay
The son of Stanford head coach David Shaw made his lone catch count on Saturday in another stout defensive effort from the Gators

PUBLISHED: October 8, 2022 at 6:19 p.m. | UPDATED: October 9, 2022 at 8:40 a.m.
ATHERTON — Carter Shaw didn't get many chances to show his playmaking skills off on Saturday. But whenever Sacred Heart Prep calls his number, as they did late in their PAL/SCVAL Bay Division showdown with unbeaten Half Moon Bay, Shaw does not lack confidence.
"When the ball's in the air, I know I'm getting it — that's how it is," said Shaw, the son of Stanford head coach David Shaw — who attended the first half of Saturday afternoon's game before his team's 8 p.m. game against Oregon State. "I come down with something like 90% of those "50-50" balls."
Shaw did just that, taking Mitchell Taylor's floated pass away from a Half Moon Bay defender for a 21-yard touchdown with 4:06 left that put Sacred Heart Prep up for good in their 17-7 win in Atherton. It was one of only two completions on the day for the Gators, but they'll take that one catch for the 6-foot-3, 185-pound receiver and cornerback anytime.
"He's a guy that can win 1-on-1," Sacred Heart Prep coach Mark Grieb said of Shaw, rated as a three-star by 247 Sports. "I think it's just a matter of getting in sync and giving him an opportunity to make plays. And you know, when we needed it, he came up big. I was really happy with him and the way he played on both sides of the ball.
"For him to go attack the ball, that was a huge play in the game."
It started as a defensive struggle, with neither team scoring in the first half despite some red zone trips. Half Moon Bay had the better chances, missing a 37-yard field goal and getting inside the Gator 10 in the waning moments of the half, but unable to score.
"A good football game between two scrappy teams that overachieve, and we ended up on the bad side of it," Half Moon Bay coach Keith Holden said. "We had some red zone possessions where we came up with nothing and that hurts. But you tip your cap to those guys because they play good [defense] and did what they had to do."
Midway through the third quarter, Half Moon Bay was driving in Gator territory when quarterback Liam Harrington's pass was tipped by Anthony Noto and intercepted by Andrew Rocha, who raced all the way to the endzone for an untouched 64-yard pick-six, a play that Grieb said "changed everything."
"When I first tipped it, I thought, 'Please don't fall into the other team's hands,'" Noto said. "When I saw Rocha catch it, I just turned around and wanted to go find someone to block."
When he saw Noto tip the ball, Rocha's eyes were "as big as saucers, and then to see him blocking for me, they got even bigger."
Half Moon Bay's ground-and-pound, double-wing offense was able to build some strong drives all afternoon. They answered the Gators' touchdown right back with a 15-play, 80-yard drive that took nearly eight minutes off the clock and was capped by Owen Miller's 5-yard run.
But Sacred Heart Prep's running game was strong on the day too, even with feature back Andrew Latu leaving the game in the first half with a lower-body injury. With Latu out, the Gators turned to Conrad Wilbur in his first game back since tearing his ACL last year in the Valparaiso Bowl.
Wilbur usually plays linebacker on defense and said he only had three varsity carries before this year. But on what turned out to be the game-winning drive, Wilbur got the ball three times and picked up 13, 12 and 10 yards to get first downs and set up Shaw's sensational score.
"I was just itching to hit someone, to get out there and play — I just wanted to play so bad," said Wilbur, who didn't start but subbed in after Latu's injury. "It's been a year since I've put on pads. First game back, I had to come out firing."

For the guy Shaw called "the most slept-on player on the team," his teammates clearly loved just seeing Wilbur back on the field. But they will also take Wilbur setting some key lead blocks for Notu and pick up big runs to help win the game, too.
"It was super inspiring just to see him suit up for practice," Rocha said. "That's a guy who you know has wanted it for the past year. Just to see him get out there and have as big of an impact as he did, he's really, really inspiring and a testament to the spirit of this team."
Noto added, "I'm so happy he's back. Me and him have been friends forever. In practice, he was tossing some of the kids — he literally couldn't control himself because he was so happy to be back."
Half Moon Bay (5-1, 1-1) will return to Atherton next week for a 3 p.m. Friday game at Menlo School. Meanwhile, Sacred Heart Prep (5-1, 1-0) will head up to play at Burlingame at 7 p.m.
After a season-opening defeat at Sacred Heart Cathedral, the Gators have won all four games at home and have held their opponents to exactly seven points when they come to Atherton. Doing this despite losing key players during games has helped build resolve on the Sacred Heart Prep sideline.
"We're just looking to make plays, keep rolling through teams," Shaw said. "I trust my o-line, I trust my running backs — we were down to our third-string running backs, and for them to be able to drive down the field, that just shows how good they are."
Grieb added, "Our defense has been solid all year long, and they stepped up and made plays. … We've got guys banged up, so guys had to step in and play that haven't been playing as much, but I thought those guys that came in the game and played did a great job."

Seeking Military Schools or Boot Camps for Troubled Boys near Wrightsville, Georgia?
While you look for military schools or boot camps in or near Wrightsville, Georgia, perhaps you will consider a boarding school for boys that offers better results, without the drill sergeant and harshness of a boot camp or military school. In fact, he will really like it here while he gets back on track in life.
Treasure Coast Boys Academy, on the Gold Coast of Florida, is a residential program and ranch specifically designed for at-risk boys. It is part of Teen Challenge, a highly-endorsed ministry that has been helping teenagers for 60 years. Instead of the harsh environment of military schools and boot camps, Treasure Coast Boys Academy shows boys the right way to live through example, lessons, counsel, mentoring and team exercises. Also, eliminating distractions and getting away from troublesome situations is what helps to open the door to break harmful patterns of behavior. Unlike military schools and boot camps you may find near Wrightsville, GA, we believe that relationships are what make a long-term difference in a boy, not more anger, yelling and force.
Parents register their sons at Treasure Coast Boys Academy from around the country, including from Wrightsville, Georgia, both to let them experience a new environment and to experience the loving and fun environment they find here. Enrollment is year-round.
Treasure Coast Boys Academy serves 50 boys ages 13 to 18 at our residential boarding school on a 30-acre parcel in working ranches and orchards. In the course of the program, we work to develop character, integrity, hard work, and respect. We promote an environment of positive peer pressure. We give boys ownership in work projects and special events on campus to keep them engaged in what is their home away from home. We want to see residents mature in their faith in Christ, and we offer worship, chapel services, bible studies, discipleship, retreats and mission trip opportunities toward that end. Boys also challenge and encourage each other in their faith. Would any of that happen in a military school or boot camp? That's unlikely.
At Treasure Coast Boys Academy, boys stay physically active and challenged. Our recreational and sports facilities include a well-equipped gym and a professional array of weight machines, soccer field, baseball diamond, basketball court, pool, game room, fishing ponds, and horses. We often go fishing on the Florida waterways and out in the ocean. The highlight of the program is a spectacular wilderness experience in the mountains of North Carolina during the last month of the boys' stay. Whitewater rafting, hiking, camping, and other adventures illustrate that life can be both adventuresome and positive.
While we conduct individual, group, and family counseling in traditional settings, we know that most life-changing encounters tend to take place during outdoor activities and in the course of daily life. Counseling is offered frequently during the day, in all settings, through conversations with mentors during chores or recreation. We put great importance on mentorship, providing the boys with positive male role models during their enrollment with us.
Our on-campus academy is in session year-round to give boys the occasion to catch up on missed credits. We have on-campus teachers who facilitate the boy's education and tutor individual students. Boys from Wrightsville, Georgia quickly catch up on missed coursework or work ahead.
We believe that the most crucial change is a heart change — understanding that Jesus Christ has a purpose and a plan for each individual's life. Through biblical studies, engaging chapel services, the daily discipline of chores, and regular attendance in our private school, Treasure Coast Boys Academy offers a once troubled teenage boy a second chance at a promising future. Again, unlike military schools and boot camps, our emphasis and main tool is a change of heart, not fear or breaking of the spirit.
"At Treasure Coast Boys Academy…our son received exactly what he needed to get back on track in life. Treasure Coast Boys Academy was a God-send for our broken family…restoring our relationship with our son.

What Is a Jet Stream, And How Are The Different Types Of Jet Streams Formed?
We are all familiar with local winds caused by temperature gradients, changes in topography, etc. What most of us are not even aware of, is the strong bands of winds occurring high up in the atmosphere.
We don't experience or see the direct impact of these powerful winds, but they are essential for the creation of weather systems across the world. They are so influential that one can go as far to state that a large number of major weather events cannot occur without them.
These winds are called jet streams and occur in specific regions at different heights around the globe. But what are these powerful winds, and how do they form?
In this post, we take a look at what a jet stream is and how it forms. We also examine its effect on weather systems.
What Is a Jet Stream?
Before we can examine how jet streams are formed, and look at their effect on the weather, we need to define what a jet stream is first:
Jet streams are narrow winding bands of high-velocity winds blowing from west to east in the upper troposphere (tropopause).
These permanent strong winds form as a result of the temperature difference between warm and cold air and circumvent the earth following a fairly straight or meandering path.
These phenomena are referred to as narrow bands (or ribbons) of wind since it is hundreds of kilometers in width, but only a few kilometers in depth.
Although relatively stable in their position, they can move more to the south or north, depending on the season, and influence the weather conditions below them during the process.
Types Of Jet Streams
The atmosphere contains two primary jet streams:
Polar Front Jet
Subtropical Jet
Both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere have a polar and subtropical jet stream, creating four permanent jet systems in total surround the Earth. Both types of jets are created by a difference in temperature between two air masses.
Smaller, temporary jet streams also exist. African Easterly and Somali Jets are two of the better-known ones. Other occurrences include barrier and valley exist jet streams. They are not nearly as influential as two primary systems, though, which will be our focus.
How Are Jet Streams Formed?
Both Polar Front and Subtropical Jets are formed in the same manner. There are subtle differences, though, which is why the formation and characteristics and of each system will be examined separately to avoid any confusion.
Formation of the Polar & Subtropical Jet Streams in the Northern Hemisphere
The Polar Front Jet Stream And How It Is Formed
The polar front jet stream occurs at 60 degrees north and south of the Equator at heights of 9 - 12 kilometers (30 000 - 39 000 feet) in the troposphere. The wind speeds can reach and exceed 321 km/h (200 mph).
The Northern Polar Jet sits above the polar front and is the result of the temperature difference between the cold arctic air and warm tropical air. As the two air masses meet, the difference in air pressure between them produces what is called a pressure gradient force.
(Air always flows from an area of high to an area of low pressure. The warm tropical air has a much higher air pressure than the cold air from the North and South Poles, hence the strong pressure gradient force.)
The Coriolis Effect, deflecting winds to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere
In the Northern Hemisphere, one would assume the strong pressure gradient will cause the warm tropical air to flow northwards towards cold air over the poles. However, The Coriolis Effect forces the air to be deflected to the right.
In the Southern Hemisphere, the deflection is towards the left. As a result, a polar jet is a strong wind which is created along the border between the two different air-pressure masses, flowing parallel to the pressure gradient from west to east.
The Southern Polar Jet has the same characteristics as its northern counterpart and is created in the same way. Unlike the Northern Polar Jet, though, it follows a fairly consistent clockwise path around the Antarctic and does not shift or meander as much.
Since Antarctica is also far removed from any other landmasses and populated regions, the amount of seasonal north-south shifting in the jet stream will have very little if any significant effect on any human or plant life, as well the environment.
The Subtropical Jet Stream And How It Is Formed
The subtropical jet stream occurs at 30 degrees north and south of the Equator. It is slightly weaker and forms at higher altitudes than the polar jet and can be found at heights of around 10 - 16 kilometers (33 000 - 52 000 feet.)
The subtropical jet in the Northern Hemisphere is also a result of a strong pressure gradient that is created by the temperature difference between the warm air from the tropical region and the colder mid-latitude air.
Due to the strong temperature gradient and the deviation to the right due to the Coriolis Effect, a strong band of wind flowing westward is created, The Subtropical Jet Stream.
Keep in mind that the formation of a jet stream involves complex processes, and the ones described here are simplified explanations to make these phenomena easier to understand. It still manages to capture the essence and accurately portray the basics of these systems.
How Does The Jet Stream Affect Weather?
To say that jet streams affect the weather is a mild understatement. They create and are the main driving forces of numerous major weather systems and seasonal weather change across the world.
To name every possible event and occurrence that is either directly created or influenced by these powerful upper-atmospheric winds would be impossible, and take up a whole encyclopedia. We will focus on the most important ways in which jet streams affect weather.
Chicago in an icy grip as Rossby waves in the Polar Jet Stream meander south
During winter in the Northern Hemisphere, colder air over the Arctic shifts the polar jet south, bringing cold & wet weather to Northern Europe and the United States. During summer, the opposite occurs as warmer air from the Tropics moves into the region.
Jet streams do not follow a straight line but tend to follow wave-like and winding flows. These meandering flow are called Rossby waves, which are the result of variations in the Coriolis Effect, and the underlying topography on the planet's surface.
Rossby waves have a big effect on the weather of a region, as the dips and peaks in the waves bring entirely different weather to an area. Depending on its speed, Rossby waves can last for a short or very long period, enabling it to even affect climate patterns.
Jet streams also influence aviation. Due to its strong wind speed, airlines make use of it to reach their destinations faster with less energy. Flying against it must be avoided for obvious reasons, which is why airlines keep a close eye on the position of jet streams.
The effect of jet streams is a lot more widespread than the few examples highlighted in this section, but these examples will help to explain how influential these powerful phenomena are in affecting weather globally, as well as the number of conditions it impacts.
As this article clearly illustrated, jet streams are one of the most crucial components in the forming of global weather patterns. They are formed in complex ways, and the explanations provided in this post were fundamental but enough to make it understandable.
In this article, we focused on explaining what a jet stream is and how it forms. The post also examined the different forms of jet streams and how each one is created.
