Ontario cannabis stores to close after removal from 'essential' list

Nova Cannabis and Juul stores in Toronto.
(This story has been updated with new quotes and information.)
Private-sector cannabis stores in Ontario, Canada's largest market, have been ordered to close their doors by late Saturday in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, leaving the outlets with nowhere to turn as the government maintains a legal monopoly over online sales.
The store closures – which will last at least two weeks – could be devastating for Ontario's roughly four dozen private-sector marijuana stores, because the province has long barred them from offering online sales and home cannabis delivery services to customers.
Ontario previously classified cannabis stores as "essential workplaces," but they were removed from an updated list of essential workplaces issued Friday.
Businesses not on the list must close their doors as of 11:59 p.m. local time on April 4. The closure order will last at least 14 days and might be extended.
During that time, only the online, government-owned Ontario Cannabis Store (OCS) will be permitted to sell adult-use cannabis in the province, a spokeswoman for the Ontario Premier's office confirmed in a statement to Marijuana Business Daily.
Click-and-collect will not be permitted from private retailers while stores are closed.
OCS delivery will come with few public health benefits, industry sources argued, because customers will still be forced to pick up packages at busy post offices.
Canada Post is no longer offering door-to-door deliveries of cannabis.
Cannabis producers in the province may stay operational.
Disappointment, uncertainty
Ontario cannabis store operators contacted by MJBizDaily on Friday expressed disappointment mixed with hope that Ontario's government might permit some compromises for cannabis retailers.
Jennawae McLean said she'd just received her license to sell recreational cannabis products at her Calyx & Trichomes store in Kingston on Friday morning and was planning to start sales in time for 4/20.
"If it's a matter of a few weeks for the greater good, we'll be OK and we'll get through it," she said.
"The fact is, we've gotten over the hard part now because we have our license. Nothing lasts forever, so as soon as we're able to, we'll be out selling cannabis, even if it's in a modified way like only curbside (pickup) or only click-and-collect.
"Hopefully it will encourage the Ontario government to allow cannabis delivery services, or allow businesses to deliver themselves, like they're allowing restaurants to."
Richard Ledesma, director of Ontario cannabis store operator Shiny Bud, wants the province to open new revenue streams for the stores.
"I'd really like to see a little bit more regulation or allowances for (cannabis) storefronts to at least stay open, but maybe have modified procedures … maybe curbside pickup or click-and-collect, and things like this (so) that we can stay and still continue to service our clientele."
Steven Fry, co-founder and CEO of Sessions Cannabis, said his business plans are being squeezed from two sides – his existing stores must close and construction on future locations is paused.
"If it trickles on weeks or months, as some people are speculating," he said, "that's going to have major implications in terms of whether or not we may have to make decisions around staffing, expansion plans, deals we have on the table.
"It's going to be pretty impactful."
James Jesty, president of cannabis retailer Friendly Stranger Holdings, said his stores were already taking significant safety measures in the face of COVID-19 by allowing only click-and-collect orders and limiting store capacity to one customer at a time.
"The (Ontario Cannabis Store) is obviously still available for orders online. However, Canada Post isn't delivering them to the door. So you still have to go out and go to a variety store, or wherever the post office happens to be, to pick up your cannabis.
"It doesn't solve any problems, really – if anything, I think it creates more."
Jesty said he's concerned the licensed store closures will benefit Canada's "robust black market" for cannabis.
Producers remain open
Cannabis production workplaces fall under "agriculture and food production" on Ontario's essential workplace list, the Ontario government spokeswoman confirmed, and may remain open.
As the only remaining licensed cannabis retailer in Ontario, the online Ontario Cannabis Store said Friday that it "has taken a number of steps since the beginning of the pandemic to increase capacity to manage a larger volume of online orders."
"These steps include working with its service providers to add extra shifts at the distribution center and operating on a 24/7 basis and to add shipping capability to offer expedited direct-to-door delivery service," the OCS spokeswoman noted.
Ontario is Canada's largest province by population.
January cannabis sales in Ontario increased 10% on a monthly basis to exceed 37 million Canadian dollars ($26 million) in January, according to the latest sales figures from Statistics Canada.

However, Ripple is uniquely placed among the rest of the pack to recover ground more quickly, and with a greater forward momentum than its competitors which is why it, rather than big-name altcoins like Bitcoin and Ethereum, will be responsible for the next surge of interest in cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin has slumped in recent sessions as a risk-off mood spread across financial markets.

COVID-19 temporary relief: less creative destruction, more restructuring?
By Scott Sharry, Kym Condon, Caitlin McConnel and Kate Edwards
In a market replete with private equity firms scouting acquisition opportunities following steady growth and low interest rates in previous years, businesses should give serious thought to taking advantage of this moment in time to seek to effect a successful restructure or turnaround.
Print full chapter
Australia has now entered its first recession in 29 years, and the Australian Government has implemented a number of legislative reforms and other initiatives to support and provide temporary relief to businesses, including stimulus payments, enhanced asset write-off and flexibility in the application of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).
Some commentators warn that Australia is set to face an "'insolvency tsunami" once these measures cease. While that may well be an inevitable consequence, the temporary reforms offer a unique opportunity for businesses to take stock and, with appropriate support, effect a successful restructure.
While the legislative amendments and relief packages are a legitimate response to the global pandemic, it is arguable they are also interfering with the natural and unavoidable process of "creative destruction" – the "industrial mutation that incessantly revolutionises the economic structure from within; incessantly destroying the old one, incessantly creating a new one", as conceptualised by Joseph Schumpeter in 1942.
Temporary measures
There are three significant relief measures in play:
Firstly, the Corporations Act has been amended (at the date of publication, until 25 September 2020) to:
increase the minimum threshold for statutory demands ($20,000) and extend the timeframe for debtors to respond (6 months); and
provide temporary relief to directors from personal liability for insolvent trading, where debts are incurred in the "ordinary course of business".
Secondly, tax legislation has been amended (at the date of publication, until 31 December 2020) to increase instant asset write-off thresholds to:
$150,000 for each asset (increased from $30,000); and
$500 million or less for the aggregated turnovers in an income year (increased from $50 million).
Thirdly, the ASX has provided relief to listed entities by simplifying the capital raising process. The temporary measures include:
an allowance of back-to-back trading halts (up to 4 days), enabling companies to consider, plan and complete capital raising;
a one-off increase to the limit on placements to 25%; and
a waiver on the one-for-one cap on standard non-renounceable entitlement offers.
The ASX Class Waivers were initially due to expire on 31 July 2020, but due to "the high and increasing levels of COVID-19 infections in major overseas markets, recent events in Victoria and the present uncertainty about the nature and level of government economic stimulus in Australia post September 2020", the ASX has extended its temporary emergency capital raising measures until 30 November 2020.
At the date of publication, there is commentary which suggests the Corporations Act amendments and stimulus packages will also be extended beyond their current timeframes.
Capital raising in the current climate
Presently, many companies are facing financial stress in respect of cashflow, liquidity and the ability to fulfil existing capital commitments; and formulating debt and equity raising strategies to relieve financial stress or establish a firm foundation for long-term success once the effects of the pandemic have subsided.
Industry leaders have outlined areas of opportunity for companies to access debt markets, including:
utilisation of government-backed support programs;
reliance on existing relationships with capital partners for interest relief or relaxing of debt covenants; and
pursuit of traditional credit opportunities or alternative funding sources. While the run on debt financing and government stimulus will continue in the short term (particularly in light of record low interest and inflation rates), equity capital raising is increasingly becoming a viable long-term option for companies to meet funding obligations.
Equity capital markets are more robust than they were during the Global Financial Crisis (GFC), and the introduction (and extension) of greater ASX temporary concessions have alleviated the red-tape associated with urgent capital raising. Market activity suggests:
a desire for private equity funds to invest in industries that are otherwise flailing (the Virgin Airlines administration is one such example);
investors will be inundated with offers to invest across a broad range of equity structures and businesses;
the strongest quarter of fully-paid share issuance in Australia since 2010 ($21.8bn); and
an unprecedented influx of equity capital raising in recent times, with approximately 20 announcements made by S&P/ASX 300 companies, including Qantas, Vicinity Centres, Ramsay Health Care and QBE Insurance, as at April 2020.
" The interruption to the creative destruction process presents an opportunity for businesses to engage in a strategic restructure. "
2020 & beyond
Just as Schumpeter suggested, there must be revolution or absorption in order to spur business cycles and innovation, strengthen market selection and reduce the withholding of resources by "zombie companies". Creative destruction is an important part of the economic cycle in that it enables those resources to be redistributed, for example by redirecting capital to legitimate restructures.
Insolvency regimes therefore carry important implications for the stability of financial systems and the economy generally, where the reallocation of capital is the centrepiece of enabling long-term productivity growth through efficient labour and financial markets.
While quantitative easing measures in Australia have arguably propelled market activity, the efforts could be identified as limiting economic efficiency by failing to cure, and instead prolonging, the ails of many beleaguered companies. Notwithstanding this observation, the interruption to the creative destruction process presents an opportunity for businesses to engage in a strategic restructure, whether it be by way of urgent capital raising, enacting the safe harbour provisions or by way of a voluntary administration.
One benefit of the voluntary administration process is that it affords the company and its administrators a moratorium period whereby potential restructuring options can be explored and considered. To the extent the appointment can precede a liquidity shortfall, there will be a greater chance of a successful restructure.
As to whether the relief packages will lead to a rush for voluntary administration appointments right before the informal safe harbour window closes, it remains the case that with appropriate advice and action, well-developed restructuring plans can deliver long-term benefits and protection. The benefit of an early restructure is avoiding a crowded market following the inevitable failure of some of the less productive entities that have survived in recent years due to, among other factors, ultra-cheap debt.
While these temporary measures can be praised for allowing the business community to pause to assess the implications of the current world events, in our view the measures should be lifted as soon as reasonably possible in order to allow the natural economic process of creative destruction to occur.
Having said that, in a market replete with private equity firms scouting acquisition opportunities following steady growth and low interest rates in previous years, businesses should give serious thought to taking advantage of this moment in time to effect a legitimate restructure or turnaround. This should be done sooner rather than later to avoid the potential bottleneck that may occur in 2021, which may see a spate of insolvencies causing lenders to become more conservative. Early strategic decisions will enable businesses to weather the storm that will be upon us once the relief packages transition into a thing of the past.

'We Live in an Age of Armchair Morality'
Sunday Telegraph interview
Written by Peter Stanford, this interview was published in The Sunday Telegraph on 8th March 2020
Lord Sacks says the West is in 'dark' times, but has faith that young people – Generation Z – will turn things around. But, then, Jonathan Sacks, former Chief Rabbi of Great Britain and the Commonwealth, now Lord Sacks of Aldgate, has never been short of courage in speaking his mind in the wider public arena, even when his thoughts run counter to the orthodoxy of the moment. An earlier book, The Dignity of Difference, provoked the ire of some of his fellow rabbis by stating that, "no one creed has a monopoly on spiritual trust" (a remark that was removed in later editions). And he has been clear and counter-cultural in opposing same-sex marriage. "In Judaism," he stated, "we don't do it."
Given the new book's title – Morality – "is a very, very difficult word", he acknowledges, almost with relish – its contents will come as a disappointment for those expecting a traditional list of "don'ts". This is not, its author is keen to stress, "about going boldly in reverse back to Victorian England". Don'ts, he suggests, "are what you say when you see someone else enjoying themselves". And you therefore want to stop them. Rabbi Sacks, though, is not one of nature's killjoys.
Instead, what made him put pen to paper on morality was his sense that the West is in "dark" times. His diagnosis is that we have lost sight as a society of the "we" – the common good – because we have been seduced by the "I" of individualism.
"I just felt," he explains, "that I ought to point out what happens when you let go of morality."
We are sitting in the home in Golders Green, NorthWest London, that this 71-year-old father of three and grandfather of nine shares with his wife of 50 years, Elaine. As he is talking, Rabbi Sacks radiates an almost prophetic sense of calm purpose and clear-sightedness.
It is a quality that has won him a legion of admirers beyond his own Jewish community. The Prince of Wales has referred to him as "a light unto this nation", while the Today programme's Nick Robinson says he is one of the very few Thought for the Day contributors he bothers to listen to when they come into the studio.
The loss of a sense of "we" – what Sacks calls, in a resonant phrase, cultural climate change – was caused, he says, by three "hammer blows". First, the social revolution of the 1960s. Then, the economic upheaval of the 1980s which lead to Michael Douglas in Wall Street declaring that "greed is good". And finally, the social media revolution, "and its focus on presentation of self".
None is bad in and of itself, he adds, but their consequences can be. With social media, too many users are anxious, he says, to claim the moral high ground at the same time as vilifying those with other views.
When I mention the current fashion to call out every perceived injustice or intolerance and the new 'cancel culture', which seeks to silence anyone who doesn't think in the 'right' way, he breaks into a smile. "It is a very selectivist form of morality. You think you can change the world by pressing a like/dislike button. It is armchair morality. It is too easy."
It is part, he fears, of a broader drift towards identity politics – the "groupishness" that seeks only to speak to the like-minded and then demonise every one else. "There is," he cautions, "a phrase in the opening to the preamble of the US constitution: 'We, the people'. The team is bigger than the player, and the game is bigger than the team. We have lost a sense of what binds us together as a nation."
He is equally unimpressed by "no-platforming" in our universities, where those whose views don't fit specific groups' notions of what is acceptable are banned for speaking on campus. It is a fate that has befallen Germaine Greer and Fay Weldon because of their views on trans women, and more recently Oxford academic, Professor Selina Todd, whose invitation to a conference celebrating women was last week withdrawn after a campaign by transgender activists.
Last week, former home secretary Amber Rudd had her own Oxford appearance, at an event promoting women in politics, called off at last-minute amid a row about her links with the Windrush scandal.
"There is this new concept of safe space where you are to be protected from views that may be hurtful to you. I have exactly the opposite definition of safe space. Not mocking, but challenging. Listening respectfully. That is what university should be about. You listen to views opposed to your own because you know that the people opposed to you will listen respectfully to you."
All these trends contribute to the switch for "we" to "I" in what he nevertheless continues to see in Britain as, at heart, an inclusive society. Even, I wonder, after the Labour Party leadership's recent drift into anti-Semitism?
"The appearance of antisemitism in any society is an early warning sign of deeper breakdown," he replies, "which is why it is serious. It touched every member of our community, including those who were never particularly affiliated or public about their identity. I have never seen them so anxious, or so relieved [by an election result].
He politely sidesteps the question of Jeremy Corbyn's own antisemitism – "it will take away from what I want to talk about" – but doesn't hold back in other addressing "hard truths". After growing up in the East End of London, where his father sold cloth on Commercial Road, Lord Sacks' first training was as an economist. Being a Rabbi came later.
On the damage done by the widening income inequality between rich and poor, he is passionate, approvingly quoting experts who see it as a national emergency. He has little time in particular for those who make vast fortunes in business by paying themselves many, many times the average wage of those who work them – he cites the example of Disney's CEO Bob Iger who received 1424 times the average at the company – and then seek what he calls "cheap grace" by giving away some of their millions through charitable donations or foundations. "By paying yourself large amounts, you are putting your own interest – the 'I' – over that of your workers – the 'we.'"
The net effect he believes is to fuel discontent. "People have a sense of justice and when it is offended they react very strongly." In an acclaimed 2018 BBC Radio 4 series, Morality in the 21st Century, Lord Sacks talked, among others, to Melinda Gates about the work of the foundation she and her husband Bill run. Did he, I ask, tell her about his views on those who accumulate huge fortunes and then turn to charity? He pauses for a moment, before confessing: "I thought Melinda Gates was wonderful. There was real humility there."
If morality is perhaps not always clear-cut, all is not lost and he certainly has some faith in the generations coming behind the identity obsessed me-me-me millennials. "I intend this to be an encouraging book. I have great confidence in i-Gen or Generation Z [those born after 1995]."
He met a number of them, he reports, for his radio series on morality and was "blown away" by their engagement in the debate about what sort of society we want to be.
"They are conscious of climate change. They are conscious of all sorts of collective considerations. They seem much more we-centred than Generation X or millennials."
And what about the boomers, those who are that little bit older? "I would say to them that we've been here before and we have resolved it. In the 1820s, for example, it was not safe to walk the streets of London. There was a lot of illegitimacy, drunkenness and domestic violence, but by 1850 it was a completely remoralised society." We can do it again, he urges, if we are inspired to take action.
"How I once put it was doing a search-and-replace operation in your mind. Where you find the word 'I' replace it with the word 'other'. So in place of self-esteem, 'other-esteem'. Instead of self-help, 'other-help'."
Above all, he says, he has hope and he wants to share it.
"A Jewish story always begins with the bad news," he says, "but it always ends in hope. Hope is what we do for a living. No Jew who knows our history can be an optimist, but no Jew worthy of the name ever lost hope."


I was injured in a hit-and-run crash last year, and unlike so many others, the driver is being brought to justice. (I recently talked to a prosecutor about the case.) Here's what I've learned to do: shout out the license plate number. Then repeat it, even louder. Get in the habit of doing this whenever you see bad driving, and certainly do this instead of cussing. You will need to make this so habitual that it becomes instinct — at the moment it happens, you will not be able to think clearly.
What happened to me: I was on a short summer vacation to Toronto. On a whim, I decided to take the bus to the nearby city of Hamilton, just to see something different. (Oh, it's different, all right.) As I was crossing Main at James, with the light, I noticed a left-turning car proceeding through the intersection — clear of traffic, but not yet clear of me. I had a stomach-dropping realization of "uh, that car is going to intersect with my leg" a moment before the car's bumper grazed my ankle.
I pivoted and began shouting out the license number repeatedly. This (a) helped me remember it when I had a chance to get to the corner and write it down, for recitation to 911, (b) alerted the driver that yes, someone had noticed, and most importantly (c) caught the attention of a witness, who was thinking clearly.
Everything else about the sequence of events was relatively easy to recall when on the phone with 911, and later when filing the police report. But without the license plate number, there's no way that I could have even begun the process.
All of the above is also good advice, but only after you've correctly remembered the license plate number.


Not electric but I found the future plans revealed in the last issue of HOG magazine interesting.
HD will be introducing a modular 500 - 1250 cc engine with the 2020 Pan American Adventure Touring , 1250cc Custom and 975 cc Streetfighter models.
Will that be a combination of the Street and Sportster engines into one "family" like what they did with the M8 in the Touring and Softail lines?
A new small displacemnt 250-500cc model will be introduced for Asian market growth.
i'll be glad when we finally see a range listed from harley. i mean i know that the range will be affected by how it's ridden. but still a range is the thing i have yet to see harley post.

This year's decorator will again be Teamwork Event Specialists. Teamwork is a full-service general contractor for tradeshows, conferences, and corporate events producing over 1,000 events annually with operations from coast to coast.
The Service Kit includes information on advance receiving, materials handling and exhibit space "extras" such as literature racks, plants, carpet, or other accessories. All orders must be received no later than Friday, August 18, 2017 to receive the discounted rate.
Electricity and A/V is ordered through PSAV, the Seattle Sheraton's in-house provider. Electric in your exhibit space may be ordered for a flat rate of $105 plus tax and service (inclusive total = $144.51). This covers all three days of exhibiting, Wednesday through Friday.
Orders for electric and any other desired A/V equipment are due by Friday, August 18, 2017.
WiFi in the exhibit hall will be available, thanks to our sponsors. Internet is also provided in guest rooms for individuals booked within the WAA block.
Exhibitors have a choice in how they get their materials into the exhibit hall. Exhibitors may take advantage of the convenience of Teamwork's Advance Receiving and Warehousing services, hand-carry materials into the exhibit hall, or participate in the NAPAMA caravan (available to NAPAMA members only).
Any exhibitor whose materials can be brought onto the show floor by one person, in one trip, without the use of rolling suitcases, dollies, bellman's carts or anything else with wheels, may bring their materials directly into the exhibit hall at no charge.
In recent years, the conference decorator has been extremely tolerant of exhibitors who roll materials into the exhibit hall. This will not be the case this year. Exhibitors will be stopped at the point of entry if attempts are made to enter the hall with a bellman's cart, rolling suitcase or any other device with wheels, or more than can be carried in one person's arms. Any such person will be charged a flat fee of $65 per rolling device for On-site Cartload Service .
Materials can be accepted beginning Tuesday, August. 1.

Гражданство Франции — устойчивая правовая связь лица с Францией, выражающаяся в совокупности их взаимных прав и обязанностей.

Основные положения
Французское гражданское право исторически основывается на принципе jus soli (право на землю), согласно определению Эрнеста Ренана, в противовес немецкому определению национальности jus sanguinis (право крови), формализованное Иоганном Готтлибом Фихте.

В законе 1993 года установлено требование для детей, родившихся во Франции от иностранных родителей, просить гражданство Франции при совершеннолетии, а не автоматически получать его. Это требование «проявления воли» впоследствии было аннулировано Законом Гигу в 1998 году, но дети, родившиеся во Франции у иностранных родителей, остаются иностранцами до обретения законного совершеннолетия.

Дети, рожденные во Франции туристами или другим краткосрочными посетителями, не приобретают французское гражданство в силу рождения во Франции: проживание должно быть доказано. Поскольку иммиграция становилась всё более политической темой в 1980-х годах, хотя она сопровождалась более низким уровнем иммиграции, как правые, так и левые правительства выпустили несколько законов, ограничивающих возможности натурализации.

История
Французское гражданство и национальность были концепциями, существовавшими ещё до Французской революции.

В юридической истории натурализации во Франции есть три ключевых даты:
 1804 — Гражданский кодекс, который допускал возможность натурализации.
 1851 — иммигрантам третьего поколения (с одним родителем, родившимся на французской земле) была разрешена натурализация.
 1889 — иммигрантам второго поколения, родившимся на французской земле, было разрешено натурализоваться по достижению ими совершеннолетия.

Право на французское гражданство
 Jus sanguinis.
 Jus soli, при выполнении других требований (например, проживание во Франции).

Пленарное усыновление является единственным актом присоединения к гражданству, который оказывает прямое влияние на национальность. В отличие от процесса простого усыновления, ребенок, получающий гражданство в соответствии с процедурой принятия на пленарном заседании, нарушает связь с семьёй происхождения. Однако, это распространяется только на несовершеннолетних детей.

Дети, рожденные во Франции (включая заморские территории), по крайней мере один из родителей которых также родился во Франции, автоматически приобретают французское гражданство при рождении (double jus soli).

Ребёнок, родившийся во Франции у иностранных родителей, может приобрести французское гражданство при выполнении одного из условий:
 При рождении, если они не имеют гражданства.
 В 18 лет, если он проживает во Франции не менее 5 лет начиная с 11 лет.
 Между 16 и 18 годами по просьбе ребёнка, если он проживает во Франции не менее 5 лет с 11 лет.
 Между 13 и 16 годами по просьбе родителей ребёнка и постоянно проживающих во Франции с 8 лет.
 При рождении, если он родился во Франции до 1 января 1994 года.
 В возрасте 18 лет, если он родился во Франции 1 января 1994 года или после этой даты.

Ребёнок, родившийся за границей и имеющий только одного французского родителя, может отказаться от своего французского гражданства в течение шести месяцев до достижения им совершеннолетия или в следующем году (статья 19-4 Гражданского кодекса).

Получение французского гражданства

Натурализация
Лицо в возрасте 18 лет и старше может подать заявление на получение французского гражданства по натурализации после пятилетнего постоянного проживания во Франции (если он женат и имеет детей, то заявитель должен проживать во Франции со своей семьей). Кроме того требуется, чтобы у заявителя был свой основной источник дохода во Франции в течение пятилетнего периода.

Те, кто не является жителем Европейского Союза, Европейского экономического района или гражданами Швейцарии, должны иметь вид на жительство. Также существует программа получения вида на жительство во Франции для инвесторов, регистрирующих на территории страны свои представительства.

Срок проживания может быть полностью отменен для тех, кто служил во французских вооруженных силах, для беженцев или в других исключительных случаях.

Срок пребывания может быть сокращен до двух лет для человека, который закончил два года высшего образования и успешно получил квалификацию во Франции.

Иностранные граждане могут подать заявление на натурализацию после трёх лет службы во французском Иностранном легионе, крыле французской армии, которое открыто для людей любой национальности. Кроме того, солдат, раненный в бою во время службы в легионе, может немедленно подать заявку на натурализацию по принципу «Француз по пролитой крови».

Свобода передвижения граждан Франции
Требования к визе для французских граждан являются административными ограничениями на въезд, установленными властями других государств. В 2017 году французы имели безвизовый доступ или визы по прибытии в 173 странах и территориях, а французский паспорт занимал 4-е место в мире в соответствии с индексом визовых ограничений.

Гражданство Европейского союза
Французские граждане также являются гражданами Европейского Союза и, таким образом, пользуются правом свободного передвижения и имеют право голосовать на выборах в Европейский парламент.

Home » A Savings Component In Child Support?
A Savings Component In Child Support?
I have previously blogged about the permanent alimony , imputation and lifestyle aspects of the Gnall case decided by the Appellate Division last week. The last interesting aspect of Gnall was the treatment of child support in an over guidelines case, specifically, college savings.
Remember from the prior posts that in this case, the husband was earning well over $1 million dollars and $65,000 was imputed to the wife, plus alimony. The trial court calculated a basic support award, using the Child Support Guidelines of $997 per week. The judge further ordered a supplemental award of $19,200 per child per year, from which the maximum allowable federal gift tax exclusion was to be deposited into each of the children's existing UGMA for higher education, and the balance remitted to the wife in equal monthly installments. Both parties appealled with the wife arguing that it was too low and the husband arguing that it was too high. The Appellate Division remanded because it found the fact finding to be lacking.
Of note, the wife objected to the portion of the support that was supposed to go toward college savings, instead arguing that she should have and control all of the money. In response to that argument, the Appellate Division held:
Even though a supplemental support amount in addition to the guideline's base amount is authorized because of the parties' high level of income, the judge must identify the nature of the children's supplemental needs to be satisfied by the supplemental support awarded. See Caplan, supra, 182 N.J. at 272 (noting that the trial court may take any reasonable approach in arriving at an appropriate award); Strahan, supra, 402 N.J. Super. at 309-10 (same). We reject claims that the judge improperly considered the parties' past practice of funding the children's anticipated higher education costs through annual deposits into the UGMA accounts. See Strahan, supra, 402 N.J. Super. at 311 (criticizing an above-guidelines child support award absent evidence of some "marital standard" regarding "the way the parties treated the children"). We merely require the court to express those needs, in addition to the annual past practice of saving for the children's education, to be satisfied by the supplemental support award. (Emphasis added).
While court's are vested with the authority to set up trusts for children's future needs in the rare case, given the income and assets, it is curious that it was done here. It is also curious that an UGMA account would be used, since at 18, arguably the money is the children's and it cannot be compelled to be used for college (though people use UGMA and UTMA accounts for this all of the time). It also ignore the perhaps more beneficial college savings vehicle that is a 529 account. Moreover, depending on the perspective, it is potentially requiring the children to pay for their own college when there is no apparent need for that given the parents' incomes and assets; is requiring the wife to pay for college out of her child support and/or in lieu of receiving child support; or is requiring the husband to prematurely fund the college obligation before the issue of college is ripe. If his circumstances later substantially change for the worse, he has perhaps funded more than his proportionate share.
On the other hand, it appears that the court was met with the dilemna of knowing that it had to supplement the basic child support award and wanting to do so because of the husband's seven figure income, but being unable to justify a greater award because the wife (or her lifestyle expert) did not show enough additional "need" for the support over the guidelines. Is the issue what the lifestyle was, or what the wife would do with the extra money if she had it (and remeber, the income went up substantially, both during the last few years of the marriage and again post-complaint)? If the law says that the children are entitled to share in the increased good fortune of their parents, how was that considered in this case, especially if the analysis was of marital lifestyle.
All in all, Gnall provided a lot of interesting points for lawyers and litigants to chew on, both in terms of how issues were decided and possible contradictions with other cases. It will be interesting to see whether this goes up to the Supreme Court, or provides fodder for alimony reform.

A: First of all, you appear to be mixing up your androidx lifecycle dependencies. You are using androidx artifacts, so you can drop this part:
def lifecyle_version = "1.1.1"
implementation "android.arch.lifecycle:extensions:$lifecyle_version"
implementation "android.arch.lifecycle:compiler:$lifecyle_version"

You should only need:
implementation 'androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-compiler:2.0.0'

Now, as to the error, the message says that the lifecycle-compiler contains annotation processors, so you should add them to the annotationProcessor configuration. To do this, add the following line at the apply plugin section for your app.gradle:
apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'

This will enable the kotlin annotation processor support. Next, change the:
implementation 'androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-compiler:2.0.0'

to allow the compiler to use the included annotation processors:
kapt 'androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-compiler:2.0.0'

and that should compile fine.

Series History between Tennessee Titans, Denver Broncos
Nashville, TN – This is the 43rd all-time meeting between the Denver Broncos and the Tennessee Titans, two of the eight charter members of the American Football League. The Titans lead the series with a 23-18-1 record, including a 22-16-1 record in the regular season and 1-2 mark in the playoffs.
While they met twice per year in nine out of 10 AFL seasons (1960-69), these two franchises have seen relatively little of each other in recent history. Outside of a pair of preseason games (1998 and 2006), they have played just seven times since the Titans moved to Tennessee, although they did square off a season ago.

Chrysler Sabotage - Issue 299, October 22, 1979 - Fifth Estate Magazine
Chrysler Sabotage
by anon.
Fifth Estate # 299, October 22, 1979
It's a rare case when someone can go home from the job and say they've done a constructive day's work, and an even rarer case when 4,000 people from the same place can say it at the same time.
But that was exactly the case September 21, when the Chrysler Corporation was forced to close its Lynch Road Plant in Detroit because of worker sabotage and vandalism.
The ailing Chrysler was planning a two week shutdown on September 21, after stockpiling a massive inventory of new cars. This act was the justification for keeping the plant closed until October 8, when it was to re-open with only one shift and half of the 4,000 workers being put on indefinite layoff.
But the workers beat them to the punch; it seems they decided if they were going to go, they might as well go with a bang!
Starting on September 20, and carrying on until the first shift the next day, workers took part in such creative acts of destruction as ripping the vinyl tops of the new products, scratching paint, breaking windows, tearing out dashboard wiring and starting small fires throughout the plant. As one company observer candidly put it, "There was a general loosening of discipline."
One worker reported that firecrackers were going off and that "there was a lot of partying going on; people just weren't doing the job."
In Detroit, we spell relief: SABOTAGE.

CapoVelo.com - - Bradley Wiggins' Children Bullied After Lance Armstrong Scandal
Bradley Wiggins' Children Bullied After Lance Armstrong Scandal
By David - In THE GREAT RACE
According to a story in the British newspaper, the Daily Telegraph, former Tour de France champion Bradley Wiggins said that he had to find a new school for his children as a result of harassment and bullying toward them – following the Lance Armstrong doping scandal.
Wiggins told the British newspaper today that he moved his two children to another school last year because they were repeatedly asked whether their father had used drugs like Armstrong.
Speaking at a training camp on the Spanish island of Majorca, Wiggins said his victory in the 2012 Tour, when he became the first Briton to win cycling's showcase event, was a life-changing event.
"I left home pretty much unknown and came home the most famous man in the country for that week," Wiggins said. "It was hard for me and the family. It affected them as well. The Lance Armstrong thing in January… my kids started getting harassed at school. 'Is your dad on drugs? He won the Tour. Is he the same as Lance Armstrong?' My son getting bullied at school. I had to move my kids from that school and move them to another school."
Armstrong was stripped of his seven Tour victories and banned for life in 2012. After years of denials, Armstrong finally acknowledged drug use in a TV interview with Oprah Winfrey in January last year.
Wiggins watched Armstrong's confession with his son and explained to him that his dad had won the Tour clean. That did not prevent the bullying at school and the 33-year-old Olympic champion said he felt accountable for it.
"Horrendous stuff. Horrible," Wiggins said. "I felt responsible for that and it all added to my unhappiness at the time."
Wiggins, who has always taken an uncompromising stance on doping, said he has moved on from that unhappy period and feels "much more comfortable in my own shoes now" – despite a disappointing season.
After his Tour victory, followed by a time trial gold medal at the London Olympics, Wiggins struggled to cope with his new celebrity status. He lost his focus during a year that saw him withdraw from the Giro with a chest infection and then pull out of the Tour de France because of a knee injury.
His working relationship with teammate Chris Froome also broke down as his former lieutenant became Team Sky leader and went on to win the Tour last summer.
However, Wiggins said he is now ready to ride in a supporting role after putting aside his disagreements with Froome during a three-day team bonding session in December.
"We're actually looking forward to racing together," Wiggins said. "It's nice when it's like that. I want to do the team proud and do myself proud."
Wiggins added he has yet to decide whether to stay with Sky in 2015 or switch back to track cycling with the aim of ending his career at the Rio Olympics in 2016.
"That was where it all started for me in Sydney (2000)," said Wiggins, a former pursuit specialist.
"To finish there, and hopefully go out on a high, would be great."

PolyU researcher honoured with Green Talents Award by German Federal Ministry of Education and Research
Achievements Faculty of Construction and Environment
Dr Amos Darko, a PhD graduate and currently a Research Assistant Professor of PolyU's Department of Building and Real Estate, was recently honoured with a Green Talents Award in the Green Talents Competition 2020 organised by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. Over 580 talents from 87 countries across the globe took part in the Competition.
The award, granted to young researchers with outstanding contribution in making the world more sustainable, recognises Dr. Darko's accomplishments in adopting and promoting green building technologies in the developing world.
Dr Darko successfully mapped out a novel "Implementation Strategy" in his PhD research. In Ghana, a developing country and Dr Darko's home country, green building technologies adoption is often hindered by high costs and lack of government incentives. Dr Darko's study investigated the issues and adopted strategies from developed countries, while recognising the challenges of the Ghanaian context.
The jury of German experts was impressed by Dr Darko as an engaged scientist who conducts research on a highly relevant issue, especially for developing countries with their often young and growing populations. At PolyU, our researchers are committed to research excellence and address global challenges with innovation. From breakthroughs to scientific discoveries, our researchers seek to expand human knowledge, address societal needs and positively impact the world around us.
About the Green Talents Award
Every year, the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) hosts the prestigious Green Talents Competition – International Forum for High Potentials in Sustainable Development to promote the international exchange of innovative green ideas from various research fields.

MOSCOW, January 25. /TASS/. The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) approved applications from 18 Russian track and field athletes for permission to participate in international tournaments this year under a neutral flag, a spokesperson for the All-Russia Athletics Federation (ARAF) told TASS on Thursday.
Among the athletes, who had been granted approval by the IAAF for the neutral status participation in international competitions, is Russia's two-time world champion in high jump Maria Lasitskene.
"Maria (Lasitskene) received a letter today from the IAAF, which granted approval to her application," ARAF's spokesperson Natalia Yukhareva said in an interview with TASS.
Competing last summer under a neutral flag, Lasitskene won the IAAF World Championship in London, becoming the two-time world champion. Last season Lasitskene won every tournament she took part in, including the final of the IAAF Diamond League in Brussels.
Due to the ARAF's currently suspended membership in the global athletics body, the IAAF made a decision in late 2016 to allow Russian athletes, who meet IAAF's required criteria, to compete in international sports events under the neutral status. Almost all approvals for the neutral status participation, subsequently issued by the IAAF to Russian athletes, expired on December 31, 2017.
In late November, the IAAF allowed the athletes already granted permission to extend it in a simplified manner without losing much time on filling out regular forms.
In 2015, the WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) Independent Commission carried out an investigation about the activities of the ARAF, the Moscow anti-doping laboratory, the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) and the Russian sports ministry.
Eventually, the IAAF decided to suspend the ARAF's membership in the global governing body of athletics and put forward a string of criteria, which the Russian ruling body of track and field sports was obliged to implement to restore its membership in the global federation.

Q: Calling product description into custom module Magento 2 New to Magento 2 and hit a bit of a hurdle I can't seem to find the answer to.
I'm trying to add the product description into a custom module that's called inside of the product page.
I've tried copying the line inside of description.phtml
<?= /* @escapeNotVerified */ $this->helper('Magento\Catalog\Helper\Output')->productAttribute($block->getProduct(), $block->getProduct()->getDescription(), 'description') ?>

however I get a white page error with no error message when I try this.
I feel like I'm missing something pretty obvious.
Any help appreciated.

A: In Store > Attributes > Product > Description > Storefront Properties set Visible on Catalog Pages on Storefront and Used in Product Listing to TRUE.
Then you can use in your phtml file:
<?php echo $this->helper('Magento\Catalog\Helper\Output')->productAttribute($_product, $_product->getDescription(), 'description') ?>

or
<?php echo $_product->getDescription() ?>

Let me know if this works for you.
Thank you.

A: In your custom module create a new Helper class that can return product data based on the product SKU something like
namespace CustomModule\Page\Helper;
use Magento\Framework\App\Helper\AbstractHelper;

class Product extends AbstractHelper
{
     protected $_productFactory;
     protected $_productRepository;

    public function __construct(
        \Magento\Framework\App\Helper\Context $context,
        \Magento\Catalog\Model\ProductFactory $productFactory,
        \Magento\Catalog\Model\ProductRepository $productRepository
    ) {
        parent::__construct($context);
        $this->_productFactory = $productFactory;
        $this->_productRepository = $productRepository;
    }

    public function getProductDataBySku($sku)
    {
        $product=$this->_productRepository->get($sku);
        return $product;
    }
}

You can access the product data in your template using
$_productHelper = $this->helper('CustomModule\Page\Helper\Product');
$_product=$_productHelper->getProductDataBySku('24-UG06');
$_description=$_product->getDescription();

Where 24-UG06 is the SKU.
