TurboTax maker will pay $141M in settlement over misleading ads for free tax-filing
Gene J. Puskar
TurboTax software is displayed at a Sam's Club in Pittsburgh on Feb. 22, 2018. Under the terms of a settlement signed by the attorneys general of all 50 states, Intuit Inc. will suspend TurboTax's "free, free, free" ad campaign and pay restitution to nearly 4.4 million taxpayers, New York Attorney General Letitia James said on Wednesday.
NEW YORK — The company behind the TurboTax tax-filing program will pay $141 million to customers across the United States who were deceived by misleading promises of free tax-filing services, New York's attorney general announced Wednesday.
Under the terms of a settlement signed by the attorneys general of all 50 states, Mountain View, California-based Intuit Inc. will suspend TurboTax's "free, free, free" ad campaign and pay restitution to nearly 4.4 million taxpayers, New York Attorney General Letitia James said.
James said her investigation into Intuit was sparked by a 2019 ProPublica report that found the company was using deceptive tactics to steer low-income tax filers away from the federally supported free services for which they qualified — and toward its own commercial products, instead.
"For years, Intuit misled the most vulnerable among us to make a profit. Today, every state in the nation is holding Intuit accountable for scamming millions of taxpayers, and we're putting millions of dollars back into the pockets of impacted Americans," James said in a statement. "This agreement should serve as a reminder to companies large and small that engaging in these deceptive marketing ploys is illegal."
Intuit says it admits no wrongdoing
"As part of the agreement, Intuit admitted no wrongdoing, agreed to pay $141 million to put this matter behind it, and made certain commitments regarding its advertising practices," representatives for Intuit said in a blog post Wednesday. "Intuit already adheres to most of these advertising practices and expects minimal impact to its business from implementing the remaining changes going forward."
Until last year, Intuit offered two free versions of TurboTax. One was through its participation in the Internal Revenue Service's Free File Program, geared toward taxpayers earning roughly $34,000 and members of the military. Intuit withdrew from the program in July 2021, saying in a blog post that the company could provide more benefits without the program's limitations.
The company also offers a commercial product called "TurboTax Free Edition" that is only for taxpayers with "simple returns," as defined by Intuit.
According to documents obtained by ProPublica, Intuit executives knew they were deceiving customers by advertising free services that were not in fact free to everyone.
"The website lists Free, Free, Free and the customers are assuming their return will be free," an internal company PowerPoint presentation said. "Customers are getting upset."
Under the agreement, Intuit will provide restitution to consumers who started using the commercial TurboTax Free Edition for tax years 2016 through 2018 and were told that they had to pay to file even though they were eligible for the version of TurboTax offered as part of the IRS Free File program.
Consumers are expected to receive a direct payment of approximately $30 for each year that they were deceived into paying for filing services, James said. They will automatically receive notices and checks by mail.
"We empower our customers to take control of their financial lives, which includes being in charge of their own tax preparation," an Intuit spokesperson told ProPublica in a statement in 2019.
The spokesperson added that a "government-run pre-filled tax preparation system that makes the tax collector (who is also the investigator, auditor and enforcer) the tax preparer is fraught with conflicts of interest."

Q: Custom UIActivity displaying blank screen I have a custom UIActivity which return an UIViewController when the method - (UIViewController *)activityViewController has been called. But it end up showing a blank black screen instead of the UIViewController after clicking on the activity. Any idea what's wrong?
This is my code in the custom UIActivity:
- (void)prepareWithActivityItems:(NSArray *)activityItems
{

    self.vc = [[testaViewController alloc] init];
}

- (UIViewController *)activityViewController
{
    return self.vc;
}

A: I changed my code to the following and it works now
- (void)prepareWithActivityItems:(NSArray *)activityItems
{
    UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"Main"    bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
    UIViewController *vc = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"testaviewcontroller"];
    self.vc = vc;
}

For more information about Actuarial Finance at University of Leeds, please visit the webpage using the button above.
Actuaries evaluate and manage financial risk. They apply advanced mathematical and statistical techniques to solve financial problems, assess the likelihood of a particular event and the possible financial costs. The role of the actuary is increasingly important in the current economic climate, where volatile markets are contributing to financial uncertainty.
Our MSc Actuarial Finance will introduce you to essential business topics and enable you to apply your quantitative skills to solve complex business problems, such as risk management, insurance and derivatives. You'll gain comprehensive knowledge in business areas such as accountancy, corporate finance and economics, as well as key analytical techniques, processes and models that have significant applications in actuarial finance.
The Business School has strong links with the actuarial profession and the insurance and pensions industry, giving you the opportunity to interact with practising actuaries and industry experts.
This course is delivered in partnership with the University's School of Mathematics. You'll learn from leading academics based in both schools, giving you access to world-class expertise in both areas.
As a student, you will be able to access the knowledge of our advanced specialist research units, which also have strong links with leading institutions in the US, Europe and Asia.

You'll take compulsory modules in corporate finance and economics allowing you to put your work into context and understand the importance of the role played by actuaries. At the same time, you'll build your mathematical skills with classes in applied statistics and probability, as well as discrete time finance.
Building on this, you'll study continuous time finance and gain an understanding of how different stochastic processes and survival models are applied to actuarial science. This will compliment your studies in topics such as accounting, professionalism and ethics, international investment and portfolio risk management.
Throughout the year you'll build your professional skills with a core module focussing on critical practical skills that will prepare you for the workplace. At the end of the course, you'll bring together your business, mathematical and professional knowledge to complete an independent project on a topic of your choice, which will demonstrate your ability to apply the skills you've gained.
Our tutors come from highly respected professional and academic backgrounds. We use a range of teaching methods so you can benefit from their expertise including lectures, workshops, seminars, computer simulations and tutorials.
In addition to the assessed modules and research dissertation, you benefit from professional training activities and employability workshops.
Independent study is also an important part of the course, allowing you to prepare for taught classes and sharpen your own research and critical thinking skills.
Assessment methods emphasise not just knowledge, but essential skills development too. They include formal exams, group projects, reports, computer simulation exercises, essays and written assignments, presentations and reflective logs. This diversity enables you to develop a broad range of skills as preparation for professional life.
A bachelor degree with a 2:1 (hons) in a related subject such as mathematics, statistics, economics or finance. You must have a strong grounding in quantitative subjects with high scores in quantitative modules.
Our pre-sessional courses are designed with a progression route to the degree programme and are tailored to the subject area. For information and entry requirements, read Language for Economics and Finance (6 weeks) and Language for Business: Economics and Finance (10 weeks).
As a graduate of this course you will be able to demonstrate in-depth knowledge of core actuarial principles, and the numerical and analytical skills to succeed in this rapidly changing complex environment.
Graduates have entered successful careers in insurance, pensions, accountancy, risk management and consultancy. Job prospects are wide ranging and include careers as accountants, consultants, scheme and insurance actuaries, and employment in investment banking and risk management.
As a result of the high level of quantitative skills developed, you also gain an excellent grounding for PhD study in accounting, finance and economics.
We help you to achieve your career ambitions by providing professional development support and training as part of the Masters programme. You benefit from the support of a Professional Development Tutor, who will work with you to develop the important professional skills that employers value.

Moldova 73.9%
Moldova/2016
GDP - US$ 11.3 Billion (2018)
GDP (per capita) - US$ 3,189.4 (2018)
State Budget Revenues - US$ 2.36 Billion (2019)
State Budget Expenditures - US$ 2.66 Billion (2019)
The Republic of Moldova had until recently a mixed and centralized public procurement system, the functioning principles of which were laid out in the Public Procurement Law (PPL) adopted in 2007. The centralization of the system consisted in concentration of review and approval process into the hands of Public Procurement Agency (PPA). The procuring procedures could be completed both in electronic and paper formats. The electronic procurement system was introduced gradually and not all procuring authorities had been included into this system, being left only with the paperback method of procurement. Essentially, the e-system is more a register than a fully-fledged procurement system.
In recent years, the Republic of Moldova signed an Association Agreement (AA) with the EU which stipulated steps necessary for adjusting Moldova's PPL to European legal standards. A new legislation was drafted, which was adopted in 2015 and entered into force in May of 2016. The new Law transposed clauses of 2004 EU Directive and partially of 2014 Directive in the field of procurement into the national legislation. Therefore, among many technical improvements of current Law in comparison with previous one there is one crucial stipulation to fully decentralize the procurement system. Namely, the PPA will be deprived of approval and review functions. The first function will be completely in the hands of procuring authorities, and the latter will be performed by a new independent Review Authority.
Despite the latest legal changes in PPL, there still remain some key challenges to be addressed. First of all, the new Law did not improve the transparency framework of the procurement system. Clear stipulations of obligatory publication and disclosure of all procurement documentation was not included in the legislation. This still leaves the right to give access to such information at the discretion of procuring authority. Secondly, the existing electronic system does not support the efficiency standards of a well-functioning e-system.
These assumptions are verified in the TPPR assessment of Moldova's PPL. This evaluation uncovered that the most vulnerable spheres of Moldovan PPL is exclusion of some key economic areas and state owned enterprises from PPL coverage, and the serious transparency problems that exist in terms of access to text of complaints, tender candidate applications, bids, decisions of tender commission, procurement contracts and contract performance related information.
To overcome mentioned challenges the Ministry of Finance engaged into a crucial project of electronic system restructuring. With the financial and technical assistance of the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) an upgrade of the existing electronic platform is planned. The new e-procurement system is supposed to resemble Ukraine's "Prozorro" e-system. In case of successful implementation, it would be a great leap forward, since all procurement procedures will be done only in electronic form, which will ensure the highest standards of transparency and efficiency.

Californians without health insurance through their employer have until Wednesday to sign up through Covered California's open enrollment in time to receive coverage on Jan. 1. Those who sign up have a high chance of receiving financial assistance, as 9 out of every 10 people who enroll through the health insurance marketplace get subsidized insurance, according to the state. That includes an estimated 1.2 million uninsured Californians who are eligible for financial aid through Covered California or who could qualify for low-cost or free coverage through Medi-Cal. More than half of those eligible for subsidies, 650,000, are Latinx, according to the state. Covered California is an extension of the Affordable Care Act that allows people to compare health insurance plans and choose one that fits their budget. The open enrollment period to receive coverage at the beginning of 2021 was extended from Dec. 15 due to the pandemic. If you miss this week's deadline, you can still sign up through the end of the open enrollment period in January to be covered for 2021. But if you miss this week's Dec. 30 deadline, you would lose out on coverage for January. Peter Lee, the executive director for Covered California, said that it's extra risky to go without health insurance for a month with COVID-19 cases surging. "It's not just COVID, it's cancer, it's a car accident," he said. "That's why we are really doubling down on getting the word out about this deadline."Lee said that people may think they can't afford insurance, but there are a lot of options out there. How to find a health insurance plan?

Q: App Crashing When Intent to Launch Activity Called I am a beginner using Android Studio to Create an application.
On my homepage/ActivityMain I wish to put a textView that when clicked, will launch into another RelativeLayout activity.
I have attempted to do this using an intent, but the application crashes when the textbox is clicked.
Please note that for all code, statements which I believe to be irrelevant were deleted (import, bundle)
Below is my code for activity_main.xml:
<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/imageView2"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="256dp"
    android:layout_margin="16dp" />

<TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Organelles" />

<TextView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:id="@+id/membrane"
    android:text="Cell Membrane"
    android:onClick="explainCellMembrane" />

Below is my code for MainActivity.java containing the code containing my intent:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    }

        public void explainCellMembrane(View view) {
            Intent myIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, MembraneActivity.class);
            MainActivity.this.startActivity(myIntent);
        }
}

Below is the code for the Class(MembraneActivity) launched by the intent:
    package com.example.android.cellularbiology;

public class MembraneActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(R.layout.activity_membrane);
    }

}

Finally is my code for the layout of my custom Java Class:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
    <TextView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:text="Membrane Explanation Page"/>

</LinearLayout>

In AndroidStudio there are no errors (red underline)
When the app crashes it does not show error, just says that it has stopped.
How do I fix my intent? Or should another method be used?
Thanks for your help.
Android Manifest:

Conclusion:
Thankyou everyone for answering and helping out a noob!
You completely saved my project!
I hope you have a nice day :)
The intent worked after I added
<activity
    android:name = ".MembraneActivity">
</activity>

To my android manifest.
I also used the improved intent provided by
public void explainCellMembrane(View view) {

    startActivity(new Intent(MainActivity.this, MembraneActivity.class));

}

A: First of all replace your explainCellMembrane method with this:
public void explainCellMembrane(View view) {

        startActivity(new Intent(MainActivity.this, MembraneActivity.class));

    }

Second,  Try Cleaning and Rebuilding your project and then share your logCat in the question.
EDIT:
After checking your logCat I can see the error is not in your logCat but it is in the device so try deleting the application in your emulator or mobile device and then install it again through Android-Studio, this works for me too as it often occurs randomly.

A: You need to add the class to your manifest.
Add the following...
<activity android:name=".MembraneActivity"></activity>

This will go under the </activity> tag.

A: I think, there is no problem with your Intent. And the problem is you are missing to add your MembraneActivity in the Manifest file, that will go under <activity><activity/> tag. For example,
<activity
    android:name = ".MembraneActivity">
</activity>

Whenever you add a new Activity in your app, you must have to add the Activity name in the Manifest file. Otherwise you app will not recognize the Activity you are trying to start through the Intent myIntent.
Now after adding the MembraneActivity in the Manifest file, it will be like this,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <manifest
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        package="com.example.android.cellularbiology">

        <application
            android:allowBackup="true"
            android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
            android:label="@string/app_name"
            android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
            android:supportsRtl="true"
            android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

            <activity
                android:name=".MainActivity">

                <intent-filter>
                    <action
                        android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                    <category
                        android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
                </intent-filter>

            </activity>

            <!--your missing activity added here-->
            <activity
                android:name = ".MembraneActivity">
            </activity>

        </application>

"We Are Not Mr. Obvious"
December 21, 2020 12:00 am by Abigail Snyder Views: 25
Nineteen years ago, on December 29, two families were alone in their relatives' house in the mountains. This is the story of what happened, told by eyewitnesses Scott and Stacy Hawkins and Chuck and Vikki Walters, and commented on by Scott Snyder (who wasn't there).
Scott H: "Long, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away…"
Stacy: "We need to start at the very beginning."
Vikki: "Yes. In 2001, the whole family came together for Christmas in Tennessee, maybe twenty-four people, in my parents' house. Afterwards, everyone left, except for our two families. Scott and my sister Stacy had five children, Chuck and I had four, so nine young kids. And their four responsible parents—"
Scott H: "Well… two responsible parents…"
Scott S: "So what were you and Chuck doing at your parents' house?"
Chuck: "We were enjoying each other's company. The two bone-headed sons-in-law."
Vikki: "Yeah, so our parents were away on the weekend."
Scott H: "It was freezing!"
Vikki: "There was some snow and ice on the ground."
Stacy: "Our parents have always had trouble with their water. We were leaving the next day, and there wasn't even enough water to take showers."
Chuck and the infamous gift boxes
Scott H: "That afternoon, Chuck and I were emptying ashes from the fireplace so we could start a new fire. For some reason, we decided to empty the ashes— embers, maybe—into a paper bag. I remember Chuck saying, 'This one's still kind of aglow!'"
Scott S: "Wait, we've got to back up. You're cleaning the fireplace, and you're thinking 'What do we put this in?' and so naturally you find paper bags…"
Chuck: "Right."
Stacy: "That's not the worst part, believe it or not."
Scott S: "Okay, so back to the part where you're shoveling hot coals into a paper bag…"
Scott H: "Is that where we lost you?"
Chuck: "Why are we going back over this?"
Scott H: "So, yes. The two of us shoveling feverishly… uh, hot, glowing coals… We rolled the bag up, and as I recall, I'm the one who took it outside."
Vikki: "Oh, yes."
Scott H: "And where else would I put the bag of coals…but on the stack of gift boxes…against the side of the wooden house?"
Chuck: "The wood siding, yes."
Scott S: "Were there any fuel cans nearby?"
Scott H: "If there were, I probably wouldn't have noticed."
Scott S: "Because they were under all the paper, of course."
Stacy: "Yeah, exactly."
Vikki: [crying from laughter]
Scott H: "This still deeply affects Vikki, as you can see. But these are tears of joy."
Chuck: "You'll understand in a second when we get to her part."
Scott H: "So… yeah, we did whatever you do with little kids, fill them up with Benadryl or something like that, some narcotic, and put them to bed. After that, we start watching the movie Gladiator. And, I mean, it's freezing."
Chuck: "Yes, it's freezing. There's no more water."
Stacy: "The hoses are frozen…"
Scott H: "Right! No more water! And we all know this! So there we are, enjoying our movie and popcorn, and at some point, I noticed in my peripheral vision something flickering… For a second, I thought it was a reflection of the movie. Then I turned to the little window looking outside at where I'd put the, uh, hot embers in that paper bag on top of the gift boxes next to the wood house. Yes. And I saw, running across the window, little flames. We all saw it almost simultaneously. So time stands still at that moment. It's like the earth just stopped rotating."
Vikki: "I think Stacy screamed 'fire'—"
Scott H: "Actually… that was my voice."
Chuck: "I jumped up as fast as I could, whipped the door open, and knocked the burning stuff away."
Scott S: "Had you been trained to do that, Chuck? I mean, I know they have fire drills at school, but do they have some kind of fire-removal-off-the-side-of-the-house class that you ever did well in, or…?"
Chuck: [Laughing] "Yeah, yes."
Scott H: "I just dropped and rolled, you know?"
Scott S: "So you were just rolling around on the floor…"
Scott H: "Yeah, like, 'This isn't happening, this isn't happening, this isn't happening!'"
Stacy: "So the fire got knocked into the snow, and then Chuck stomped it, thankfully. Because again, we had no water."
Scott S: "Chuck, what kind of things were going through your mind while you were stomping the fire? Were you singing Christmas carols, maybe?"
Chuck: "No, not Christmas carols, 'This Little Light of Mine'!"
Scott H: "Have you ever seen those commercials where they do something silly and they wish they could get away? Yeah, so… at that point…"
Stacy: "Scott packed up all the kids and left."
Scott H: [Joking] "I felt a calling to do missionary work somewhere…"
Chuck: "We realized I was going to be the one to tell Vikki's dad to his face, because you were leaving town the next day!"
Scott H: "See, this is where the Bone-Headed Son-in-Law Award came in. Chuck and I were always vying for it—"
Stacy: "They shared it that year."
Vikki: "After the fire was out, I was so scared all night because we didn't have water… I just didn't believe it was out. I hardly slept at all."
Chuck: "I slept like a baby."
Scott S: "So Vikki has PTSD, and Chuck's sleeping like a rock…"
Chuck: "I should've taken her downstairs and showed her that the fire was out."
Scott H: "You could've spit on it!"
Chuck: "So, later we called Vikki's dad. I told him we'd pay for the damage, but he said he'd take care of it."
Scott H: "Something about 'I want it done right'."
Chuck: "They ended up fixing it later, and there was no evidence of a fire at all. It looked perfect!"
Scott S: "Have either of you ever been able to be around flames with your family again? Do your wives allow it?"
Stacy: "Not near the house."
Scott S: "What about on the Fourth of July? Do you have to stand far away?"
Scott H: "Yeah, we don't even get to hold the matches…"
Chuck: "We just observe."
Scott S: "And paper bags have probably never been in the house either, right?"
Scott H: "Oh, no, I haven't seen a paper bag in years."
Scott S: "All of the young men reading this story will be enjoying it…"
Scott H: "They need to take note and beware, there's a right way and a wrong way to clean out the fireplace. I mean, how is it even possible for two grown men to do something like this?"
Chuck: "We are not Mr. Obvious."
Scott H: "Yeah. Hey, that's good title material, there! Either that or 'Dumb and Dumber'."
Me: "Thank you for this story!"
Everyone: "You're very welcome!"

CHARLOTTE AMALIE – A kitchen explosion injured two employees at the Marriott's Frenchman's Reef and Morning Star Beach Resort in St Thomas late Sunday morning, according to Government House.
Firefighters were taken by the hotel's security staff to the kitchen area where they discovered that the fire had already been extinguished, the government said.
The two employees were transported by EMS to the Roy Lester Schneider Hospital to be treated for "burn injuries," authorities said." The two remain under observation.
The Fire Investigative Unit came to the scene to investigate the circumstances of the explosion, according to authorities.
So far the Virgin Islands Fire Services has not determined what caused the kitchen explosion.
No information was immediately available from hospital officials about how badly the employees were burned in the explosion.
Authorities said that the explosion happened about 11:02 a.m. today.
Fire Services operates under the aegis of the Governor's Office.
