It is estimated that US$50 Billion is attributed to illicit financial outflows from Africa each year. This has created an environment in which African tax administrations have placed political pressure on industry and in particular the mining sector, to account for this erosion of tax bases across the African continent. Transfer pricing abuse by multinational enterprises in the mining industry has been attributed to a large portion of these illicit outflows. This report sets the objective of understanding African transfer pricing challenges, both general and mining specific, as well as initiatives addressing these challenges so as to identify the subsequent synergies and gaps that exist between the two. The following general challenges related to transfer pricing on the African continent were identified namely; effective policy and legislation addressing transfer pricing, sufficient skills and capacity in tax administrations, effective document requirements pertaining to transfer pricing transactions, access to comparable data databases and exchange of information between tax administrations. In addition to these general challenges, two mining specific challenges were identified namely; the complex nature of vertically/laterally integrated mining value chains and inadequate understanding by tax authorities of mining related transactions along the value chain in terms of function, asset and risk of each transaction. Of the six initiatives identified in the literature, the World Bank Group and Centre for Exploration Targeting sourcebook on transfer pricing in African Mining as well as the African Tax Administration Forum tax programs were selected through an Analytical Hierarchy Process as being the best aligned to deal with the challenges mentioned. Synergies between these two initiatives were identified in the areas of transfer pricing policy and legislation alignment as well as transfer pricing skills and capacity building. Gaps were identified under the practical ability to implement the outcomes from the World Bank Group sourcebook which requires a centralised body and multinational transfer pricing model positioned and able to carry out the transfer pricing recommendations from the sourcebook such as effective audits and skills and capacity building programs. The report concludes with a basic framework of how such a Multi-National Transfer Pricing Unit under ATAF might function, as a possible solution to addressing this gap.


The Pitton Putter was the brainchild of Wally Winchcombe. In addition to being a keen golfer Wally was an active member of the village community. Like the best golfers, Wally recognised that there were two key elements to the game; good company on the course followed by sociable reflection on the day's round.
In the late 1980's Wally found an old Hickory Putter in the back of his garage and thought that it would be a wonderful idea to hold an annual golfing competition within the village, followed by a meal in the back bar of the Silver Plough. From such ideas tradition is created.
The Pitton Putter is a feature of the back bar of the Silver Plough. Like all golfing trophy boards it enables winners to reflect on past glories and losers to reflect on what might have been.
Played in the autumn at High Post Golf Club the Putter is a Stableford competition that is open to all golfers living in the village of Pitton. Players need to have a current or previous handicap certificate. The golf is followed by a meal in the Silver Plough where non-playing partners are also welcome to attend.

Support The Focus E15 Mothers Fighting For Their Children's Future
The appalling treatment of a group of homeless single mums at the hands of Newham Council shows beyond doubt that the modern Labour Party are no friends of the poor.
The young mothers are being evicted from the Focus E15 hostel in the Labour controlled borough after the Council announced plans to cut costs by closing the hostel. This is the same council who recently spent an astonishing £111 million pounds on an office block complete with chandeliers costing almost £2000 each!
Despite this vast display of wealth, Newham Council has chosen to turn their backs on some of the borough's poorest residents and has not even offered a council property to the mothers. Instead they have been abandoned to the cut-throat private rental sector with the Council attempting to blackmail the mothers into accepting a private sector tenancy for just one year or facing no help with housing at…

The inspiring life story of pioneering feminist artist, activist, and Buddhist teacher Mayumi Oda told through her own words and original thangka paintings.
Sitting in meditation in front of a statue of Goddess Sarasvati, Mayumi Oda heard her say in a loud voice, "Stop the plutonium shipment!" After taking a stunned breath, Mayumi replied, "I can't do that. I'm only an artist," and Sarasvati answered, "Help will be provided." This book is the culmination of a life devoted to responding to Sarasvati's call to cultivate a path of peace, justice, and compassion.
Known as the "Matisse of Japan," Mayumi Oda is a painter, environmental activist, and Buddhist practitioner whose life reflects both the brilliance and shadows of modernity. Sarasvati's Gift explores her upbringing in Japan, her tumultuous marriage and the death of her son, her immigration to the country responsible for the destruction of her home, her inspiration for both her Buddhist practice and her art, and ultimately her commitment to the planet that gives her life both hope and meaning. This raw, heartfelt, and powerful memoir shares Mayumi's story of finding her place and her mission to transform the world.
"An extraordinary book by an extraordinary woman. This remarkable work is a plunge into courage and beauty."—Joan Halifax, author of Being with Dying and Standing at the Edge
"Mayumi's vivid, original images of women as goddesses show us a new way to think about Zen Buddhism and, actually, about life. This book tells her marvelous journey from childhood in Japan during the Second World War into her life as a notable artist and activist. A book of great simplicity, sweetness, and beauty."—John Tarrant, author of The Light Inside the Dark and Bring Me the Rhinoceros
"Attempting to endorse Sarasvati's Gift is akin to praising the moon and the stars. This is a book of extraordinary resonance, love, and beauty. Mayumi's heart surpasses all measures of courage in her devotion to the earth."—Paul Hawken, author of Blessed Unrest: How the Largest Social Movement in History Is Restoring Grace, Justice, and Beauty to the World
"Mayumi Oda's action for life on Earth, whether it's praying, sobbing, organizing, protesting, or farming, is as transformative and captivating as her magnificent creation of eclectic, bold, and enchanting celestial/terrestrial femininity."—Kazuaki Tanahashi, author of Painting Peace: Art in a Time of Global Crisis
"Sarasvati's Gift soars on the wings of Mayumi Oda's pure, persevering, and fiercely loving heart and hands. It models ways to walk in beauty and with grace for everyone who feels called by the emergence of the feminine in this time when restoring balance and equilibrium to the human-nature experiment is so urgent and timely."—Nina Simons, cofounder and Chief Relational Strategist, Bioneers
Mayumi Oda is a groundbreaking Buddhist teacher, painter, and activist who doesn't separate her art, activism, and Buddhist practice. Born in Tokyo in 1941, she went on to study painting and printmaking and to exhibit her work around the world. Since the early 1990s, while continuing to work as an artist, she has also devoted much of her time to activist causes such as women's rights, the antinuclear movement, and opposition to GMOs. She founded and lives at Gingerhill Farm, an active farm and educational center on the Big Island of Hawai'i. Please visit mayumioda.net for more information.

Random Kindness and Senseless Acts of Beauty
Anne Herbert, Margaret Paloma Pavel & Mayumi Oda
In 1982 Anne Herbert wrote "Practice Random Kindness and Senseless Acts of Beauty." This beautiful precept began to appear everywhere–on garden gates, on bumper stickers and posters and in books.
Today, she has joined with Margaret Pavel to expand her statement into a powerful message for our times, and for all ages.
Mayumi Oda's art merges with the text as if they were created together. For Random Kindness and Senseless Acts of Beauty, she derives her style from picture scrolls entitled Chojugiga: Frolicking Animals, said to have been drawn during the 12th century Heian Period in Japan.
Published by Volcano Press, 1993.
Dimensions: 7-3/4" x 6-3/4", 22 pages, softcover, full color throughout.
Divine Gardens
Mayumi Oda & The San Francisco Zen Center
Mayumi Oda's internationally-recognized artwork plays with traditional Japanese and Buddhist images, refiguring them as celebrations of the feminine and the natural world. Where most traditional Buddhist iconography features male figures, Oda introduces female "Goddesses" that seem to jump off the page, imbued with the vibrancy of Oda's color and line.
Originally from Japan, Oda settled in Muir Beach, California in the 1970s and began practicing and painting at Green Gulch Farm Zen Center, which Oda calls her "California Buddha Field." Divine Gardens pairs Oda's artwork with essays by her fellow practitioners, for whom Oda's artwork has been a constant companion.
Suitable for study by art students or for display on a coffee table, Divine Gardens captures the essence of Mayumi Oda's art and life as a Zen practitioner. The forty-five full-color works of art and twenty-four essays contained in the collection are a joyful celebration of her work and the community forged through the years at the San Francisco Zen Center.

A divorce can be a hard experience to walk through both emotionally and financially. The physical act of getting used to having a dual income to living off of just your own can be overwhelming as well, especially if you make less than your spouse did. In many cases those who have just gone through a divorce are feeling the pressures and stress of their finances, not used to living the way they know they ought to—frugally. For this reason, it is absolutely essential to establish a budget when you get a divorce in order to know where your needs and wants lie. In many cases, we struggle with money because we buy many things that we don't need, because of this taking the time to closely assess how we spend our money is going to tell us how we can change our spending habits, even if it is just for a season.
A divorcee is essentially getting used to a different style of living, and for some this can be extremely difficult. Be aware of what some financial advisors can "budget denial." For those who have gone through a divorce recently, this can mean that they are so overcome with emotions, that they work it out by their spending therefore denying the presence of a budget. This can be dangerous and lead to extensive amounts of debt if you aren't careful. Using discretion with your wallet is highly encouraged as you get used to this new single way of living.
Once you have gone through with a divorce, you will also need to change your estate plans, wills, and end of life decisions. You may not want your ex-spouse to still have a say in whether the doctors do not resuscitate after a heart attack, etc., so it is important to change these details as soon as possible. Talk to your divorce attorney for a good recommendation of an estate planning lawyer in your area. Next, you will want to sort through your insurance coverage plans and make changes based on your needs. Perhaps your children are going to be under the care of your ex, so you will want to make those necessary changes, etc. This is important to take care of immediately, however, as most insurance companies require you to report your life changing events (aka divorce) within 60 days.
If you are in any sort of debt after your divorce, make sure you attack those bills immediately and don't let them add up. As stated, things may be financially tight for a while, but if you knew the divorce was necessary, then it is worth it for you in the long run. Once your debt is paid off, begin growing your savings accounts again as well. This is crucial as an adult, to have back up funds for an emergency. If you or someone you know is considering a divorce, contact a skilled Raleigh divorce lawyer at the Hopper, Hopper & Mulligan, PLLC today!


And now for something that has affected me personally quite a lot this past week. How much difference a summer can make! As many non-British academics, I was attracted to the UK by the openness of its society, the dynamics of its economy and international character of London. I have not been disappointed so far. Unlike in other countries, there has been no shyness at the Bank of England, the UK Government or Parliament to collect as many views as possible, no matter the nationality of the interlocutors. This seems to have changed dramatically over the past few days.
First, there was the new Prime Minister branding us expats as international elite without roots. Yes, I have left my home country 21 years ago and have lived in the U.S., Netherlands and the UK. My wife has lived outside her own country for the past 19 years. And my children (adopted from Latin America and Asia) never lived in Germany, the country of their passport. So, in this sense we consider ourselves citizens of the world, and proudly so! But: we have paid all taxes that were due wherever we lived. We have tried to integrate into and contribute to our host communities as much as possible. It is quite depressing to be suddenly treated as unwelcome outcast!
Then the call by the Home Secretary for British businesses to hire more British and announce how many non-British staff are being employed. My head of faculty is Italian and my dean American and the international character (with the accompanying wealth of experiences) of Cass' faculty makes it such an appealing place to work for us academics and for students to study!
And finally the announcement that the UK government will not interact anymore with non-British academics on issues related to Brexit (which will become a dominating issue over the next years). One of the promising factors in the dialogue between policy makers on all levels and academics over the past eight years of crisis management in Europe was the fact that no one ever asked for the nationality of the academic giving his or her opinion and advice. Behind this new approach of the British government seems a new attitude against the "enemy inside" that has to be outed and isolated so (s)he cannot do any damage.
What sad days! As I wrote previously, the Brexit vote can be seen as one step towards bringing to an end a long wave of globalisation. The events of this past week can be interpreted as rapid march towards nationalism and protectionism!

Without Warning, Facebook, Instagram De-Platform Children's Health Defense Accounts
Without warning, Facebook on Wednesday de-platformed (unpublished) the Children's Health Defense (CHD) account. Simultaneously, Instagram suspended CHD's Instagram account. Both accounts had hundreds of thousands of followers.
Children's Health Defense Team
Without warning, Facebook on Wednesday de-platformed (unpublished) the Children's Health Defense (CHD) account. Simultaneously, Instagram suspended CHD's Instagram account.
Each of these accounts had hundreds of thousands of followers.
CHD received the following notifications from both platforms:
Commenting on the move, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., CHD chairman and chief legal counsel, said:
"Facebook is acting here as a surrogate for the federal government's crusade to silence all criticism of draconian government policies. Our constitutional framers recognized this peril of government censorship.
"We don't need the First Amendment to protect popular or government-approved speech. They incorporated the First Amendment specifically to protect free expression of dissenting opinions. They understood that a government that can silence its critics has a license for every atrocity."
The de-platforming by Facebook and Instagram dovetails with CHD's lawsuit against Instagram and Facebook's parent company, Meta, filed in August 2020.
In an appeal filed July 29 in the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, CHD provided the court with documents, produced by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which the CDC provided to Facebook outlining what the CDC defined as "misinformation."
Titled "COVID Vaccine Misinformation: Hot Topics," the documents advised tech giants to "be on the lookout" for various topics the CDC considers to be misinformation including COVID-19 vaccine shedding, VAERS reports, spike protein data and more.
Roger Teich, CHD legal counsel for the Meta lawsuit, said, "Censorship is not only unconstitutional, it's un-American."
CHD's lawsuit, one of the organization's 50+ active lawsuits to defend freedom of speech, medical freedom, truth, bodily autonomy and children's health, is pending a 9th Circuit decision.
The tech giants de-platformed CHD just days after the CDC issued new guidance loosening COVID-19 policies.
And within hours of the CHD being de-platformed, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky outlined plans for overhauling how the agency works while admitting the agency's response to COVID-19 was flawed and the agency committed a number of missteps in its management of the pandemic.

Q: Disable hidden duplicate field when selecting dropdown option I have the following form code that shows a drop down menu for Existing category if that is selected OR a text field if Add new category is selected.
This all works perfectly but I am trying to validate the fields and I cannot disable the duplicate field not chosen, so I cannot submit the form.
I am getting an empty field fail on the validation and the following error: An invalid form control with name='category' is not focusable.
I want to change the name OR disable it OR set a value of the hidden field so that it validates.

    New or Existing Category:

    <select name="categoryType" id="categoryType" required>
        <option value="" selected='selected'>--Please Select--</option>
        <option value="existing">Existing Category - Select from Category list below</option>
        <option value="addNew">Add new Category - Add new Category in Text box below</option>
    </select>

    Category:

    <select id="categoryExist" name="category" required>
        <option value='' selected='selected'>--Please Select--</option></select>
    <option value='1'>1</option>
        <option value='2'>2</option>
    </select>

    Add Category:

        <input id="categoryNone" type="text" name="category" class="capitalise" required />

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#categoryType").change(function() {
        if (this.value == 'existing') {
            $('#existing').show();
            $('#categoryNone').attr({name: "difcat", value: '000'});
        } else {
            $('#existing').hide();
        }
        if (this.value == 'addNew') {
            $('#addNew').show();
            $('#categoryExist').attr({name: "othercat", value: '000'});
        } else {
            $('#addNew').hide();
        }
    });
});

I have also tried:
 $(["input:hidden, textarea:hidden, select:hidden"]).attr("disabled", false);

but it does not seem to work.
jsfiddle http://jsfiddle.net/LUeT9/
OK this is resolved, I changed the following, which disabled the non active validation:
$(document).ready(function() {
        $("#categoryType").change(function() {
        if (this.value == 'existing') {
            $('#existing').show();
            $('#categoryNone').prop("disabled", true);
        } else {
            $('#existing').hide();
        }
        if (this.value == 'addNew') {
            $('#addNew').show();
            $('#categoryExist').prop("disabled", true);
        } else {
            $('#addNew').hide();
        }
        });

Tsunami Warning Issued After Violent Volcanic Eruption Near Tonga Downgraded
The Bizarre Failed Weapons That Led To The Stun Gun
Ashley Feinberg
Published 8 years ago: May 13, 2014 at 6:30 pm -
Filed to:electrocution
stun gunstasers
Stun guns themselves certainly aren't perfect solutions to the problem crowd control. But compared to what came before it, the modern stun gun seems downright civil.
One of the first uses of electroshock weapons to (non-lethally) control crowds took place during the 1930s as a substitute for the billy club. But this first iteration of electroshock control was unlike anything you'd see police using today — Inspector Gadget not included.
According to an article form the September 1935 issue of Popular Science Monthly (as found by our own Matt Novak):
A touch with the glove is enough to take all the fight out of the most recalcitrant disturber, since it imparts an electric shock with a kick of 1,500 to 5,000 volts behind it. The paralyzing effect, however, is only temporary, and there are no burns or other after-effects.
As far as we can tell, this particular glove was never used in the field, but in terms of electroshock weaponry, officials were just getting started.
As detailed in a recent article by The New York Times, President Johnson put out a call for a nonlethal way of incapacitating a criminal, following the New York race riots of 1964. Literal cattle prods (seen above) had already been in use for a while, but treating human beings in the same way one would farm animals usually doesn't go over well.
One of the first alternatives came in 1965, when a man from Massachusetts filed a patent for what The Times refers to as "a long-range weapon that worked like an electrified supersoaker." In other words, he'd made an electrified water cannon, which is not only dangerous but nearly impossible to control. Other attempts (seen above) proved equally unsuccessful.
The New York Times notes:
"Hundreds and hundreds of different patents were made," [Darius] Rejali, [a professor at Reed College], says, "but it's one thing to have a great idea, and another thing to have a lot of social institutions that will sustain it and carry it forward into society."
Even the Taser, the device Jack Cover patented in 1974, wasn't all that different from the ones that came before: A pair of electrode projectiles, tethered to the gun with wires, delivered a high-voltage, low-amperage pulse of electricity that could subdue a target without killing him.
It wasn't until two brothers came up with a gunpowder-free version of the stun gun in 1993 that it finally caught on. And it still took six more years before the weapon was advanced enough to "drop anyone in demonstration." Entirely civil? Maybe not. But it's still a hell of a lot better than a cattle prod.

Behind Hurley's Walk for Change
For the Love of Zooey
One year, you're driving around to Hurley retailers to make sure the T-shirts are folded correctly, and the next (give or take a year) you're heading up a major fashion show judged by the likes of Wilmer Valderrama and Bob Hurley (yes, the fashion company's namesake).
And you're barely two years out of college. Such is what happened with Jordan Dowty, part of Hurley's marketing team for its YC (Young Contemporary) line and the one in charge of Walk the Walk, Hurley's chance for aspiring fashion designers to win a big check—literally and figuratively—for their high school's arts and music program.
Walk the Walk is an event sponsored by Hurley in which high school students are challenged to use fashions from the upcoming Hurley clothing line to create completely new designs. They're given five weeks to plan their five minutes of free reign on the catwalk. The students combine live performances and original designs, hoping to win over a panel of judges—consisting of Hurley himself and other celebrities from the music and surf worlds—and receive the $5,000 prize. The money is donated to the school's arts and music program to bolster these creative studies, which are usually nixed first when budgets are cut—or might not even have the necessary funding at all.
Story continues after the pictures from last weekend's Walk the Walk West Coast Grand Championship …
{yoogallery src=[/images/walkthewalk/] width=[50] height=[75] title=[Walk the Walk] style=[slideshow] effect=[fade] spotlight=[1] prefix=[thumb100_] thumb_cache_dir=[thumbs100] thumb_cache_time=[1440] load_lightbox=[1] rel=[lightbox[mygallery]] load_lightbox=[1] resize=[1] order=[asc]}
Dowty and her team try to pick schools with a wide range of students demographically, and a large student body that can participate. They also try to choose schools that generally don't have this kind of opportunity or program.
"The school that won when we did the show in San Diego is an inner-city school that literally has gates that are locked 24-7—it's not a school where the kids have opportunities a lot of times to really do anything extracurricular," she says. "Even football and all the sports costs money, and this is something where we give all of the resources and they're able to participate without anything out of pocket."
Dowty, 23, is involved in the entire process: from choosing schools to participate and mentoring the students, to watching as the last design makes its way down the catwalk and the winner is announced.
"I'm in constant communication with the kids, where I'm checking up on their rehearsals and doing meetings with them," she says. "When we do events in Southern California, we have the kids come visit our headquarters so they can see what it's like to be in the real world, how things are run here."
In addition to showcasing their creativity, the fashion shows help students interact with others they might not normally hang out with. "It's really cool to see how different cliques in groups come together through the program and through the event," Dowty says. "We interview the kids and without fail, every single time they say, 'I never used to talk to this person' or, 'This person never talks in class.' And they are full of great ideas. It's really cool to see them connecting those dots as well."

Dowty believes that encouraging the students throughout the process is her most important task. "I tell [the students], 'I'm not here to give you any rules or tell you what to do, but I am here to help you,'" she says. "And to be someone they know they can go to and get an honest opinion from, and give that encouraging word."
She is also able to integrate her faith into her position. "I'm working with students in public schools, and there are a lot of rules and regulations about what you can and can't say," she says. "But I do get to know these kids on a personal level and I do get share with them my life and experience as a twentysomething working in an industry that they think is really cool.
"I'm able to talk about going to church, and the best part about it is that I can be encouraging to them and I can be myself, and be a light that they might not realize at the time, but they can see an example of someone who is in a really cool job who is looking out for them," she continues. "The surf industry especially can be really corrupt and a big party industry, and it's cool to be able to come to work and stand up for what I believe in, and share my faith with these kids who are in a time in their lives that's going to be defining and character-building. It's exciting to lead by example."
Though she's able to teach the students a lot, they've also taught her a thing or two. "I've always been a logical thinker, growing up and through school, but just within the last couple of years, I've learned a lot from the kids and how they flourish when they're able to think and act creatively," she says. "That's really helped me to think outside of the box when I'm working with them. … I think you work a lot better, even if you're having to do the rudimentary ABC steps. When you're thinking with a creative mind, it helps you not to get into a rut."

De Halsche Beemden is een 10 ha groot natuurgebied in de vallei van het Merkske, nabij het gehucht Hal te Minderhout, in de Belgische provincie Antwerpen

De gronden zijn eigendom van Natuurpunt en worden beheerd door Natuurpunt en het ANB. Het is het oudste natuurgebied in het dal van de Mark.

Het gebied bestaat voornamelijk uit botanisch interessante hooilandjes, beekbegeleidende bosjes en natuurlijk het Merkske zelf. De (populieren)bossen met een rijke voorjaarsflora worden stelselmatig omgevormd naar beekbegeleidende bossen, die bestaan uit zwarte els, es en gewone vogelkers.

So last night I attended the really amazing FREE workshop at General Assembly at Ponce City Market (Atlanta,GA).
General Assembly hosts a variety of courses and workshops. They often host free workshops and panels that are every interactive and informative. I think I've attended maybe 4 workshops so far. Each workshop I've attended, I've have been able to take away something available and apply it to my career and side hustles. This event was a panel driven workshop titled, Girlboss code + digital marketing: A chat with social influencers, shakers and movers.
Most of my subscribers know that I am a full time project manager and a side hustling blogger, microinfluencer, and event planner. As I continue to grow, my goal is start my own creative business. So, I love FREE events that I can attend to teach me something new and network with some dope people.
Question of the Day: What does it take to be an entrepreneur?
There was so much valuable knowledge and information shared in this workshop. It felt like a chip off my shoulder to hear the start up journeys of young successful entrepreneurs and influencers … from quieting your day job to lessons learned from mistakes. I left this workshop feeling a part of a community of girl bosses and inspired to keep pushing. The panel discussion were really a sense of insurance for me, that I am on the right track and I am making the right moves and IT IS going to happen for me and I WILL be all that I can be.

Can councils do more to prevent data breaches?
When the private information retained by an organisation or government office is disclosed to the public or accessed without authorisation, the result is a data breach. The protection of personal information is regulated in the UK by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), and if this regulator finds inadequate security measures were taken to safeguard data, it has the power to exact punishment – commonly in the form of weighty fines.
UK councils are responsible for not only social care but also for providing aspects of housing, transport and education. These local authorities are also charged with an extensive selection of neighbourhood services, from libraries to waste collection. This means that they are required to handle and store vast amounts of private information on data subjects, and for this reason, it is crucial that their information security measures are impenetrable.
Despite this requirement, statistics show that last year, local councils across the country reported 700 separate data breaches to the ICO. London-based cybersecurity investigators found that approximately two council data breaches were reported per day in 2020 and that one council had reported 29 breaches spread out across the year. Around 10 of these local authorities faced disruptions to their services on account of the incidents.
With thousands of UK citizens relying daily on critical services supplied by their local councils, and many more depending on the authorities to protect their personal data records, we'll take a closer look in the following sections at what more local governments can do to avoid these damaging data breaches.
Correct information governance
How data is stored, handled and shared must be governed by security protocols that dictate who is able to access it. Systems adopted for data use and retention must be assessed to ensure they are effective. All information must be classified correctly and be stored securely, with permissions suited to its sensitivity level. This way, information that isn't sensitive can be accessed easily, keeping daily operations and workflow running smoothly, while ensuring confidential data is never exposed or accessed by unauthorised entities.
Regulators demand that when requested, data can be recalled, tracked or destroyed if necessary, so it is crucial that councils have complete control over the data they process and store. Putting a well-considered and secure infrastructure in place for data is paramount to improving cybersecurity.
Adopting enhanced technology
From dedicated firewalls and spam filters to antivirus and antimalware, there are a wide range of technologies available to protect councils from the multiple threats targeting their systems, services and data stores. However, a strict regimen of installing updates and security patches is crucial to their effectiveness.
System and data backup is also critical, so that if the worst should come to pass and data is destroyed by accident or during an attack, no information is ever lost, and operations can be smoothly and swiftly restored. This is essential to avoid a data breach, as information belonging to data subjects that is destroyed is also considered a breach.
Cybersecurity experts agree that data encryption software is the most powerful protective solution available to safeguard confidential data. It effectively scrambles the data records it is applied to, making them indecipherable to anyone who has not been granted express permission to interact with them. Whether information is being stored on the cloud or transmitted by email, council members can ensure the data they are handling is safe from prying eyes.
This means that, in the event a council network is hacked and a threat operator gains access to servers or email accounts that contain personally identifiable information (PII), the data cannot be read, stolen or tampered with, avoiding a data breach.
Cybersecurity training for staff members
Figures show that around only 50 per cent of local council staff received training in cybersecurity last year, and that 45 per cent of councils employed no personnel with recognised cybersecurity certification.
While enlisting onsite qualified cybersecurity experts might not be suitable for every council budget, continuing training against threats and risk is crucial. All council staff must be security aware, understand how to recognise an attack and know the proper protocols both to protect data and report an incident.
All council members, from admins to senior executives, must be educated so that they use security measures like permission systems and verification processes correctly, as users are still the greatest vulnerability to any secure system.
Council members should never be allowed to select their own passwords, negating any chance that weak and easy-to-crack credentials are ever employed.
A comprehensive data security solution
At Galaxkey, we have designed our most secure system, with current threat levels to data security firmly in focus. Its innovative options are engineered to offer companies and local councils alike an answer to the multiple challenges they face safeguarding their people, processes, systems and data from accidental incidents and man-made attacks that can result in a breach.
Our system is powerful but easy to use, making staff training and effective operation a far simpler prospect. With drag-and-drop action, personnel can ensure all email correspondence, attachments and shared documents remain completely confidential, protected by robust encryption.
To sidestep misuse of passwords, none are ever stored on our platform. Additional protection against user error is provided by the ability to recall emails containing sensitive information sent mistakenly to the wrong address.
Offering premium support in terms of accountability, all data secured can be verified and tracked, offering regulators full transparency of protection levels adopted, so compliance can never be called into question. Designed to keep unauthorised entities out of private data, our system has no backdoors that can be exploited by threat operators.
Whether you handle information security for a local authority, an educational institution or an established enterprise, if you're ready to make our secure system part of your protective protocols, contact our expert team today. We can provide you with an online demonstration, or, if you would like to explore our solution yourself, you can experience a free, 14-day trial.

More than 350 candidates have filed to run this year for various federal, state and local offices in Baltimore County. This suggests that politics is not so reviled a profession as popular opinion and late-night TV monologues would have us believe. Or maybe all those county candidates just happen to be gluttons for punishment.
We like to think the abundance of filers indicates a healthy interest in the political process. No doubt it will confuse some voters as they try to distinguish Candidate Tweedle-dee from Candidate Tweedle-dum. At the same time, it should make more citizens take notice of the unusually heated campaigns in their respective back yards.
Both the state and county levels will offer many intriguing contests. The ballyhooed rivalry between state Senators Paula Hollinger and Janice Piccinini of the redrawn 11th District will finally be settled. The new black-majority 10th District has no incumbents and should make history by electing the county's first black, non-federal officeholders. The 9B District carved out of Towson for Del. Gerry Brewster, now running for Congress, is a wide-open race with numerous hopefuls. The 7th District primary will be eyed closely to determine whether Dundalk has forgiven John Arnick.
In the county executive's race, Republican incumbent Roger Hayden and Democratic challenger C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger are the front-runners in their primaries, but neither man will enjoy a cakewalk. All seven County Council campaigns should likewise be competitive, especially in the open 2nd, 3rd and 7th districts. Two candidates, Democratic Dels. Louis DePazzo and Joseph Bartenfelder, will try the rare trick of jumping from the General Assembly to the County Council.
Plenty of candidates, plenty of tight races. They portend an uncommonly exciting summer on the Baltimore County political scene.

The future of offshore wind support? An interview with John Gordon Davies of CDC Scotland Ltd
Robin Whitlock
CDC Scotland Ltd is a company that has long believed that safety and productivity in offshore wind can be improved. The company is about to make the industry a lot safer and cost effective with two new vessels coming to market – the Heron and the Chameleon.
REM talked to John Gordon Davies of CDC Scotland to find out more about them.
Tell me about CDC and what it does
CDC Scotland Limited have developed designs for two new revolutionary support vessels for offshore operations which will prove to be of enormous benefit to the construction, servicing and maintenance sectors of the offshore industry.
Originally the company was a partnership set up while working in the UAE. The early concept for one of the vessels led to a firm commitment, however before we were due to fly in to London to sign the $100 million deal, the 2008 financial crash happened and the investment offer evaporated.
As a result we ice-boxed the project, revisiting it in 2010. Fresh research to update ourselves on market conditions saw the offshore wind industry the hot news. In May 2011 we filed patents on the CDC Heron vessel, so called because the bird's flight resembles structural elements of the vessel. Patents are now granted in a number of jurisdictions. The Heron is a double decked, lighter version of a conventional drilling jack-up and within its design capability is able to do all well interventions bar the actual drilling. Returning from the UAE, we registered the company in Glasgow as CDC Scotland Ltd in 2012.
Just over a year ago, Ian Brown joined us, a veteran from BP with 35 years' service as Senior Wells Manager. He knew about our project and bought shares, because as a drilling man he sees huge potential for our vessels in the Oil & Gas (O&G) sector as well as the wind industry.
I presume your experience in the energy industry therefore is primarily from O&G?
Absolutely yes, we have been involved from maintaining, operating, building, converting, refurbishing, to commissioning advanced rigs in shipyards around the world. This includes nine years in two shipyards in China. Between the partners, we have worked on every type of drilling rig, from land rigs to jack-ups, semi-submersibles to drillships. The thing is, apart from the turbine on top of a wind tower, there is not a lot of difference between offshore wind and offshore O&G – you've still got the same hostile marine environment. That's where we believe the wind industry has the capacity to learn from its counterpart.
What is the major problem with the offshore wind sector at present as you see it?
As an observer, the main challenges I see, are access and safety with the ability to perform maintenance efficiently. At the moment, near- and mid-shore, 'bump & jump' vessels (carrying circa 12 technicians) are extensively used for servicing not maintenance. As the vessel approaches a turbine, and 'engages with it' technicians have to step from the boats on to a ladder and climb up to the landing platform to access the door into the tower. As you can imagine, these guys have to time their jumps on to the ladder very well……. There is a new range of vessels now being deployed, fitted with heave compensated, telescopic gangways. These larger vessels accommodate more men and can drop off at various turbines but while providing improvements in safety, and delivery of personnel, are still only providing servicing activities. Servicing is not Maintenance.
Talking about the far-shore distances sees technicians spending more time travelling than working. Even on a mid-shore farm, say 15-20 miles from the base port could involve 30 plus miles including travel between towers.
Having spent a lot of time offshore and in exposed areas, I've experienced weather changing extremely quickly, even wave heights of up to 90 feet! Technicians on a CDC Heron wouldn't view weather conditions as irrelevant, the sea can be wild but the technicians can still operate on a flat, stable walk-to-work platform at turbine height, and if the weather abates, daughter craft can also be launched so a range of servicing activities can be undertaken efficiently, and safely on more than one turbine.
So that's the transport aspect, what about the whole area of servicing and maintenance?
A recognised problem for these assets is associated with the bump & jump servicing, where anything bigger than hand-held items necessary to resolve a turbine breakdown, has until recently required the return of an expensive construction jack-up.
The recent deployment of Wind Turbine Service Vessels, with motion compensated gangways and cranes, allow larger payloads to be delivered to the turbine landing platforms but this still limits the activities to servicing and light repairs. Where bearings, gearboxes, nacelles and blades weighing tens of tons are involved the only realistic way to deal with them is using a crane. With cranes you have the same problem experienced in other offshore operating sectors, above certain wind speeds, they cannot be operated. This being a principle reason why current jack-ups performing construction or maintenance, typically only operate seasonally and not year round.
What kind of costs could these problems incur on the industry?
Actual costs, are impossible to quantify, as each wind farm, and each location are different, although we've tried to find out. The construction units are not cheap to charter, travelling at speed to maximise productive technician time uses volumes of fuel. It's not only expensive but detracts from the green ethos that offshore wind is supposed to espouse. Other wind industry support vessels, some based on modified ships, super yachts, RoRo ferries, each has its own problems already touched upon.
If there are turbine breakdowns, the support vessels are limited to the equipment they can transfer. At what point does an operator decide to bring in a large heavy jack-up vessel – when one turbine is out of commission? Three? 10? These are the commercial dilemmas facing the industry today.
Tell me about the CDC Heron and how it can help the offshore wind sector advance and improve?
The Heron addresses the problems of accessing the top of turbine towers in an array for maintenance. It's about getting people up to the work area and providing a safe work environment. Hence the second deck, a section of which can be cantilevered out towards the turbine. At sea, these turbines sway in the wind, as do the jack-up support vessels. To counter these differential relative motions, we designed a device which encircles the tower and inflates a soft collar to capture the tower. It's what we call a 'soft capture' because it's not metal on metal. This synchronises the motions of the tower and the Heron jack-up. People can access the turbine inside and out. Rope access by abseiling technicians can be dispensed with! Each technician can have a pair of feet securely on the deck.
To inspect and repair the blades, the turbine nacelle can be slewed side on to the Heron and using the turning gear, rotate the hub to place the blade across the deck, allowing it to be inspected lying horizontally. If repairs are needed, and they will happen often as the salt in the sea water acts like a sandblaster, these can be done in environmentally-controlled conditions down on deck and include complete industrial MRI scanning of whole blades to expose hidden cracks, etc.
What is the difference between the Heron and Chameleon?
The difference between the Chameleon and the Heron is that the Chameleon doesn't have the second elevating deck, and primarily, is geared more towards the O&G industry. However, because it can have two 250-ton cranes on it, it can be used for some of the elements required of the wind industry.
I get the feeling there is a lot more room on these vessels for fully-equipped workshops and accommodation and so on.
Correct. The Heron and the Chameleon can accommodate up to 150 people depending on which part of the world it is operating [varying standards and rules]. Heron and Chameleon, each can have additional modular accommodation added, increasing bed spaces. The Heron does have a lot more deck space, 3,000 m2 crane coverage over the total area by either knuckle boom cranes or gantry cranes. The design is of modular construction to allow rapid redeployment with different kit from a home port. On the front of the vessel there is a CAP47 compliant helideck.
What would be the propulsion system for these vessels?
Our vessels operate dual-fuel engines with diesel and/or LNG making them a lot cleaner than diesel. The principle purpose of the generators is for powering the propulsion and jacking systems of the vessel and provides power for any special purpose equipment on deck. Power for many of the domestic and hotel services can be provided using small, vertical axis wind turbines on the top of each leg.
What stage of development are the CDC vessels at now and when could we expect to see them being deployed?
In April this year, CDC's Ian Brown, delivered a member presentation to the Royal Institution of Naval Architects in London with a similar subsequent engagement in Singapore, each created a significant increase in interest from organisations requesting NDAs and further information. Interest is coming from London, Vietnam, to Singapore and China. We have the support of Braemar ACM, the second largest shipping brokers in the World.
The work we've already done has put us well on the way to completing the basic design package with our naval architects in Dubai, Great Waters Maritime, which is the final step before moving towards building. Every ship of a certain size has to be classified and we have obtained approval in principle from the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS). The next stage will be completing the basic and detailed design elements some of which can take place almost alongside construction. Three months after detailed design we would be cutting steel, and delivery of first vessel would take about 24 months to complete without any need for prototyping. Thereafter subsequent vessels of the same or similar design, could be delivered in the region of 16 to 18 months from order.
When you have been within days of signing a $100 million deal ahead of the worst financial crisis in living memory it's difficult to pick yourselves up; but it has made the team absolutely convinced of the value of the vessels to the offshore sectors, and more determined than ever to see them deliver benefits in cost savings, efficiency and safety.

Universal Orlando Resort may have some long lines at times. Still, they also have a Virtual Line feature for a few rides, such as Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and Revenge of the Mummy at Universal Studios Florida.
Credit: Universal
The Virtual Line still requires a wait but helps Guests to not stand in line for hours when wanting to ride some of the more popular attractions as they are called when it is their turn to wait in line. It seems that Universal Orlando Resort has recently made some tweaks to their Virtual Line.
This system is currently in its testing phases, and eventually, it will fully roll out as the official Virtual Line tool at Universal Orlando Resort. Below, you can take a look to see how the Virtual Line will work when you visit Universal!
As you can see below, Guests will need a Virtual Line account and will need to make a reservation.
Credit: Universal Orlando Website
To activate your account on the Universal Orlando app, you will need to "Activate Virtual Line". Afterward, you will need to select the party size. Then Guests must create their account and accept and confirm.
Once you find the attraction you want to ride, click on "Get on Now". You will then be given a time to go to the attraction.
Once it is your time, you will have a QR code available to show a Team Member so that they can scan you and your party in.
To take a look at the Virtual Line yourself, click here.
Once the system fully rolls out, it will be interesting to see if Universal Orlando Resort adds more attractions to their Virtual Line list — considering they are making an entirely new system for Virtual Lines.
What do you think about this new Virtual Line system at Universal Orlando Resort?

Box Office Review: 'Cake' opens to a strong start!
With rave reviews marking its entry into cinemas, Cake saw a much-anticipated opening at the box office. However, with the critics on its side, has it been able to win its audience over too?
According to independent box office websites and sources, the film starring Aamina Sheikh, Sanam Saeed, and Adnan Malik opened to a better than average collection, with a reported amount of PKR 30 Lakh on its first day.
However, its first-day collections were soon surpassed by the weekend rush as Cake saw a great increase in its popularity, and ended up earning an approximate amount of more than PKR 65 Lakh on Saturday and Sunday.
The film, which has reportedly done better in urban areas overall, has had a similar three-day opening total to Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, and thus, does indicate a strong growth at the box office. However, for Cake to remain afloat in competition with SKTKS, Baaghi 2, and Hichki, the film needs strong numbers over weekdays as well to ensure profitability.
Will the film manage to beat Bollywood and prove that Pakistani content can get the ball rolling for cinema collections? Time will tell!


On May 21, 1963, the Most Rev. Joseph McShea, Bishop of Allentown, formally established the Parish of Our Lady of Perpetual Help as the first new parish in the new Diocese of Allentown. At the time of its establishment, the parish consisted of 450 families.
Bishop McShea selected Rev. Harry Hynes as the first Pastor, and the first order of business was to select a name for the parish. Bishop McShea suggested the title, "Our Lady of Perpetual Help". Dedication of the parish to Our Lady was very appropriate since the new parish was a daughter parish of St. Anne's Church in Bethlehem. Father Hynes knew that in undertaking the formation of a new parish, he would need much help from our Blessed Lady so he accepted the suggestion from the Bishop.
When the parish was established, a three bedroom split level house on Santee Road was acquired by the Diocese as a temporary rectory. The basement was converted into a combination office and chapel. The rectory was furnished and Father Hynes moved in on June 21, 1963. That house remained the rectory until the completion of our New Parish Center in November, 1989.
A location for the celebration of Sunday Masses had to be secured for the new parish as soon as possible. Father Hynes obtained permission to use the gym at Notre Dame High School. Two weeks after the official establishment of the parish on Trinity Sunday, June 3, 1963, the first Masses were celebrated.
In July of 1963, Father Hynes presented his ideas for a U shaped, one story colonial style building consisting of a Church, School and Hall with a separate convent building. The original estimate for this complex was $585,000.00. On August 1, 1963, permission to build was granted.
In order to open school as soon as possible, Father Hynes requested and was granted permission to use four of the classrooms on the lower level of Notre Dame High School. We opened school in September of 1964 with the first four grades having an enrollment of 135 students. We were able to move into our beautiful new school on Monday, March 1, 1965. The Sisters of St. Joseph from Chestnut Hill came to staff our parish school and lived in the convent, completed in 1967. They remained here at the parish until 1986. Three weeks after moving into the school we had the first Masses in our new church on Sunday March 21, 1965.
Father Hynes remained the Pastor of our parish until his death in July of 1975. He is buried in the courtyard in front of the statue of our Blessed Lady. It is a fitting way to remind all of us of his great devotion to our Blessed Mother.
In August of 1975, Bishop McShea appointed Rev. John Conte as the second Pastor of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. Under Father Conte the parish grew strong in every way. The population increased, school enrollment increased and our parish continued to grow under his kind and generous shepherding. When the Sisters of St. Joseph left our school in 1986, Father Conte was able to secure the Dominican Sisters, who taught in the school until 1988.
In February of 1988, Father Conte became the Pastor of Holy Guardian Angels Church in Reading, and Rev. Thomas Benestad was appointed Pastor. His stay with us was very brief. In May of 1988, Father Benestad was appointed to serve as special assistant to His Eminence, John Cardinal Krol, assisting him in raising funds for the Vatican.
In June of 1988 Bishop Welsh appointed Monsignor Sacks as the fourth Pastor of our Parish and also appointed the newly ordained Father David Breiner as Assistant Pastor. On August 16, 1990, Father Victor Finelli was appointed to succeed Father Breiner. On September 2, 1994, Father Hulko was appointed to succeed Father Finelli. On June 15, 1995, Father Frink was appointed to succeed Father Hulko. Father Sattler was appointed to replace Fr. Frink. Fr. Clement replaced Fr. Frink, Fr. Kern replaced Fr. Clement, Fr. Onyegbule replaced Fr. Kern and Fr Arnout replaced Fr. Brensinger.
Over the years, the parish has grown in many ways. Our parish now has over 2400 families and over 7500 people. Our school community has over 300 students. The old convent building, vacant since the Dominican Sisters left the parish in 1988, was renovated into our new Parish Center, housing the offices for the parish as well as the residences for our priests. In October of 1988 a Building Committee was I formed to develop a Master Plan for our Parish.
On November 23, 1991, our new Church was dedicated by Bishop Welsh with over 1300 people in attendance. Phase one of the Master Plan cost $3,600,000.00. The last phase (8 classrooms) remains to be done.
