Info: Sonic used Spin Attack toward the enemy and uses it again behind the enemy. Shadow uses his Homing Attack three times.
Info: Sonic used Sonic Boost about 4 times (first by the front, second by the back, third by the front, and finally he jumped and used it again by the back). Shadow powered up with Chaos Boost and attacked with hand-to-hand combat.
Info: Sonic jumped, used Stomp, and used hand-to-hand combat on the enemy. Shadow used Spin Dash in front and used hand-to-hand behind the enemy.
Sonic: Hey, do you have any Geniuses Commandos? Because my best pal, Tails may easily put him to shame and he is just a kid!
Captain: Yes… He is also BABY Commando.
Shadow: ...Well, that sure shut YOU up.
Sonic: Hey, June, could you throw your ring so Shadow & I could do a Light Speed Dash!
Shadow: Ugh, that is not one of OUR rings, you idiot! Besides, June needs it to fight!
June: Well, I am fine for testing it out for experimenting. It always comes back to me, anyway.
Sonic: You know, Leon. We had our fair shares of going through haunted mansions too.
Shadow: However, instead of zombies, we fight ghosts.
Leon: ...Well, let's pray for my sake I never face them. I don't want to waste ammo and anything I literally can't hit.
Shadow: Sonic, if you are not going to act seriously, at least focus on the enemies!
Sonic: Um, sorry. I just can't help but reminded of a fighting tournament I was in when watching Bahn fight.
Bahn: Oh really? Maybe we should talk about it after this battle is over!
Tron: So this Eggman guy is a robot inventor. Heh heh heh. How about you show me where he lives sometime?
Sonic: Hey, that would actually be a good idea! What do you think, Shadow?
Shadow: No. We would just be losing one mad scientist and gain another.
Shadow: Vashryon, try to act seriously! Just showing off with those flips!
Vashryon: Hey, this is how I always fight! Besides, Sonic doesn't seem to care that much. Right?
Sonic: Nope. If that is your style, go for it. Personally, I wouldn't be seen holding those things!

Brown, David S.
David S. Brown is the author of several books, including The Last American Aristocrat, Paradise Lost: A Life of F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Richard Hofstadter: An Intellectual Biography. Brown's timely The First Populist: The Defiant Life of Andrew Jackson (Scribner) positions the seventh U.S. president firmly in the forefront of the country's populist tradition. Jackson rose from rural poverty to become the dominant figure in American politics between Jefferson and Lincoln. His reputation, however, defies easy description. A self-defined champion of "farmers, mechanics, and laborers," Jackson railed against the established ruling order – fostering a brand of democracy that struck a chord with the common man – while also taking a prominent role in removing Native American peoples from their ancestral lands. Brown examines Jackson's public career, including the momentous Battle of New Orleans, the far-reaching Bank War, Jackson's marriage to an already married woman, and his deadly duel with a Nashville dandy, and analyzes his magnetic hold on much of the country at the time. The First Populist connects Jackson and his legacy to a history of division, dissent, and partisanship that has come to define our current times.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 2, 2018 (Madonna a Brolio, Siena) – Tuscan wine producer Ricasoli has expanded its U.S. reach as part of a dynamic new sales and marketing partnership with Folio Fine Wine Partners. Since formalizing the agreement in March 2018, Italy's oldest producer has expanded its presence in all 50 states, with increased investment focused on establishing the U.S. as the leading export market and gaining distribution for the Chianti Classico and Brolio Estate wines.
Francesco Ricasoli, President of Ricasoli and 32nd generation Baron of Brolio, shares: "We are thrilled to announce that we are on track with Folio Fine Wine Partners to reach more U.S. wine consumers than ever before.

Ricasoli's unique legacy encompasses more than 32 generations of family ownership and leadership in Chianti and Chianti Classico, centered around the landmark Castello di Brolio, a 3,000-acre estate with 580 acres of vineyard predominantly planted to Sangiovese. To support the continued awareness of the distinctive microclimates, heirloom clones, and production techniques that define the Brolio story, Francesco Ricasoli and Technical Director Massimiliano Biagi will present a mapping and tasting of the estate wines during an exclusive press and trade tour in the spring of 2019. Dates and markets will be announced.
"We have long recognized that Ricasoli had great potential to lead the U.S. wine market in a new appreciation of Chianti's winemaking legacy, and are looking forward to hosting the Ricasoli family tour," added Co-Founder, Michael Mondavi, of Folio Fine Wine Partners. "The Brolio estate can lay claim to one of the most established identities in Tuscany, and under Francesco Ricasoli and his leadership team, there is a profound drive to uncover its secrets."
Folio Fine Wine Partners represents eight wines from Ricasoli, ranging from $11.99 to $70.00 SRP: Toscana IGT ($11.99), Chianti DOCG ($13.99), Brolio Chianti Classico DOCG ($21.99), Rocca Guicciarda Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG ($24.99), Brolio Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG ($29.99), Castello di Brolio Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG ($70.00), Colledilà Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG ($70.00), and Casalferro Toscana IGT ($70.00).

By Maddy Philipp and Katie Harpin [slideshow] Greetings from the Lionfish Research team! We are now three weeks into the program and have already learned so much. The purpose of our study is to look at how grouper and currents affect the distribution of invasive lionfish (Pterois volitans) found around Cape Eleuthera, Bahamas. So far we have gone on two mock dives. Unfortunately our second one got cut short due to an unexpected thunderstorm. We have also learned how to identify grouper and take the total length of fish from a distance underwater. For one of our classes, we took a trip to CEI and learned how to dissect a lionfish. From the dissection we could see what the lionfish had eaten. We also learned that lionfish can expand their stomachs up to 30 times its normal size. For another class we became scientist for a day and learned the correct structure for scientific papers. We have 3 research classes a week and two of those usually involve fieldwork. Although the readings may be strenuous, the lionfish team is excited to have the opportunity to work alongside biologists and helping to further the worlds knowledge on lionfish.

Prince-DFSK to Launch a Small Electric Car in Pakistan
Regal Automobiles has announced plans to begin assembling electric vehicles in Pakistan from the next year, beginning with a compact electric car that can travel 180 kilometres on a single charge. Regal is the only car manufacturer in Pakistan to build DFSK electric vehicles under plant machinery plus CKD (Completely Knocked Down) supply arrangement with DFSK Motor Co. Ltd.

Regal signed an MoU with ChongQing Sokon Motor to assemble electric vehicles in Pakistan
Regal Automobiles is in talks with multiple vendors for CKD cooperation agreements regarding the supply of parts for this small electric car. Regal will set up the electric vehicles assembly line in Pakistan as part of a strategic partnership with DFSK Motor Co. Ltd. through which the company has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with an exclusive supplier of DFSK Motor Co. Ltd. named ChongQing Sokon Motor (Group) Imp. & Exp. Co. Ltd. for the import of the plant and machinery for the electric vehicle assembly.
To start the project, an industrial land plot measuring 3 acres has been allocated within the current freehold land. The project is expected to end by February 2023, following which commercial production will begin. Regal Automobiles plans to lift the automobile sector by manifold and will improve the overall socio-economic situation in the country.
Government pursuing eco-friendly transport policy
The climate change ministry is pursuing a policy with a target that 30 percent of all new cars, big and small trucks, vans, and jeeps would be electric vehicles by 2030 that would help reduce the emissions by 65 percent. With 43 per cent of the airborne emissions in the country coming from the transport sector transitioning to electric vehicles would provide a huge opportunity to reduce air pollution. Hence, the use of electric vehicles is promoted to bring down Green House Gas emissions.

Having a debt over a long period of time is expensive, the longer you have the debt the more expensive it becomes. Taking into account the late payment charges and compounded interest that can be applicable what may have started as a reasonable charge can in fact become a long lasting burden. The best choice you can make regarding money is to pay your debts. It could be that you have unclaimed money that you do not know about and these sources of money could be the ideal way to say goodbye to your debt.
The downside of debt is as it grows it becomes increasingly difficult to keep up the payments, quite a large majority of people struggle just to make the minimum monthly payment on their credit card. Having the worry of regular bills, you may resign yourself to the thought that there is no way you can pay your debts in full.
Although it may seem impossible to save money when you have bills that need to be paid arriving what seems like daily, however if you watch what you spend you could see places where you could be more frugal. Eat out less often, quit smoking, and put a stop to unnecessary expenses such as junk food and lottery tickets and you will see that you can make reductions.
If you have financial troubles you may be able to borrow the money from family or friends especially if they are aware of your circumstances and how hard you are trying to pay your debts, they could be far more willing to help than you may expect.
Have You Got Unclaimed Money to Pay Your Debts?
There are thousands of people all over the country that have cash in their names that they are completely unaware of. The NAUPA short for National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators, can put you in touch with the treasury department of your state, this is where the unclaimed funds are held, these funds have been collected from in many different ways and include money that has been left in dormant accounts with the bank, utility and security deposits, and also the contents from safe deposit boxes.
Finding out whether you have any unclaimed money could not be easier. Every state has a place online that you can check to see whether there is any money unclaimed waiting for you. Simply search in all of the states that you have lived and if you find that there is unclaimed money belonging to you, fill in a claim form and the funds can then be released to you.
When you are searching for unclaimed money or assets you should search in your name and also the names of your relatives, those who have died may have left money for you in their will and this will only show up through this search method.
All of the unclaimed property being held by the states is a matter of public record, and therefore you should not have to pay for someone to carry out the search on your behalf. Watch out in particular for any service that requires an upfront payment.
It can be a lovely surprise when you find that you are entitled to some form of unclaimed assets, however the majority of the time it will not be enough to pay your debts in full. If this is the case, you can still try to settle the debt by consolidation this can reduce what you owe substantially, meaning that you can more often than not make a payment to clear a debt that is far smaller than what you actual owed. Deciding to enter into debt consolidation can actually lower the amount owed significantly.
If you decide to go down the consolidation route then you will need to find a reputable company that has experience of consolidation through settlement. Many of these companies will require you to make a payment upfront; however a well respected business will not charge you anything at the beginning of your process and they realize that as you have no extra money to spend and that there will be no extra until you have pay your debts.
Contact us today without delay and we will be more than happy to offer you a free debt analysis. Our experts will begin by studying your financial situation and then they will be able to help you to understand the best options are for you to get out of debt. Alternatively you can fill in the form and our debt consolidation professionals will begin to analyze your issues straight away, by contacting us there is no commitment, all you are doing is taking the first step to being debt free for good.


Although regarded as a classic of Western civilization, the contents of the Bible are not well known. Christendom marginalized the teachings of Jesus, resulting in ways of reading scripture alien to the earliest church.
Leaders of Ekklesiyar Yan'uwa a Nigeria (EYN, the Church of the Brethren in Nigeria) and the manager of the EYN Disaster Team traveled to Cameroon last week to visit and support Nigerian refugees who have fled across the border into the neighboring country. This camp hosts more than 30,000 refugees mainly from Gwoza Local Government Area.
The third webinar in a series on Christian practices for teens, offered for adult leaders of youth, will be on the topic "Life and Time."

The sixth annual "Gathering" of the Historic Peace Churches in Florida was held Jan. 31 at Bay Shore Mennonite Church in Sarasota. Organized by the Peace Coordinating Committee of the Historic Peace Churches, the day-long conference featured speakers who pursued their passion for peace in various ways.
In the fall last year, Tim Joseph conceived the idea of holding a big event at Onekama (Mich.) Church of the Brethren on Jan. 31 as a fundraiser for the Nigeria Crisis Fund. The struggle that the Nigerian Brethren are undergoing right now may be the biggest crisis the Church of the Brethren movement has ever suffered, particularly considering the sheer number of people involved, the number of churches destroyed, the number of deaths. Of course we should do all we can to send aid.
Paul* and his wife, Becky* have a passion for the education of displaced children in Nigeria.

Genetic testing helps confirm or rule out diagnoses of inherited cardiovascular disease
Mark Deakyne was watching a TV comedy with friends when he started laughing hysterically and uncontrollably. Standing up to get a drink, his heart began racing and he became so lightheaded he felt like he might pass out. Scared, Deakyne didn't say anything to anyone.
The incident, however, did not pass unnoticed. Deakyne, who lives in Dubuque, Iowa, was wearing a Holter monitor to track his heart's electrical activity. After receiving the monitor's report, Deakyne's doctor, Ferhaan Ahmad, MD, PhD, called the very next night to strongly encourage Deakyne to have a cardioverter defibrillator implanted to help control the abnormal rhythms. It was a procedure Deakyne had been resisting.
"What doctor calls a patient at 9:30 at night to talk about a notable arrhythmic activity?" Deakyne recalls. "Dr. Ahmad said the cardioverter defibrillator was 'a good insurance policy.' Guess who now has an internal defibrillator implanted in his chest?"
For Deakyne, the episode confirmed his decision two years earlier in 2014 to get his heart care from Ahmad, a cardiologist and associate professor of internal medicine, and the specialized team of providers at University of Iowa Heart and Vascular Center.
At the time, Deakyne, who was very active and an avid RVer who hiked and biked many campground trails, had been diagnosed with the progressive heart disease hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). He received care at the Iowa City Veterans Affairs Medical Center, where his doctor, also a fellow from UI Health Care, told him about ongoing research into the genetic causes of HCM. Deakyne got tested, which brought him to Ahmad, director of the UI Cardiovascular Genetics Program, one of only a few broad-based cardiovascular genetics programs that currently exist at academic medical centers.
Benefits of genetic testing
Mutations in over a dozen genes are known to cause HCM, a disorder that leads to abnormal thickening of the muscle in the heart, disrupting normal blood flow through the heart. Symptoms of HCM include chest pain, shortness of breath, and dizziness. More seriously, HCM can also cause abnormal heart rhythms that can lead to strokes and sudden cardiac death.
"The most common benefit of genetic information is that if you identify a pathogenic variant, one that you know causes disease, it means that family members can be screened for the variant to identify people at risk of developing the disease, which allows providers to manage symptoms and reduce the risk of life-threatening complications," Ahmad says. "Genetic testing can also help confirm a true diagnosis or identify 'look-alike' conditions that should be treated differently."
HCM is just one of a growing list of inherited heart conditions for which genetic information is increasingly used to care for patients. To maximize the benefit to patients and families affected by inherited heart problems, the American Heart Association (AHA) recently recommended the creation of more specialized clinical cardiovascular genetics programs, like the one at the UI, that combine expertise in cardiovascular medicine with expertise in genetic testing and counseling for heart disease.
Ahmad chaired the writing group for the AHA statement, which was published in the Association's journal, Circulation: Genomic and Precision Medicine.
"Inherited cardiovascular disorders are the leading cause of sudden death in young people. Identifying at-risk patients and family members is often lifesaving," he says. "Establishing specialized cardiovascular genetics programs could significantly advance our ability to care for people with inherited heart conditions and their healthy family members. These programs will also become key places for the genetics training of internal medicine and pediatric residents and cardiology fellows."
Test, but also teach
Genetic testing is seldom simple, and using it to improve patient care requires expertise to understand the nuances of the test results and their interpretation as well as the dynamic nature of genetic science.
"The majority of people come to the clinic thinking testing will provide black-and-white results. But in fact, there is often more of a gray area," says Maggie Freese, MS, CGC, certified genetic counselor in the UI Cardiovascular Genetics Program. "It is really important that we provide counseling pre- and post-testing to make sure patients understand that results aren't always definitive, and to explain what the result means."
Initial analysis indicated that Deakyne had a mutation in the MYH7 gene, one of two genes most commonly associated with HCM. This variant was classified as "likely pathogenic" on the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics' five-point scale: pathogenic, likely pathogenic, uncertain significance, likely benign, and benign.
This initial interpretation did not change how Ahmad and his team managed Deakyne's care, but it did suggest that his family members might benefit from screening for the variant to ensure they were not at risk of developing HCM. However, genetic science constantly evolves, and new information can update understanding of the disease-causing nature of different variants. The variant that Deakyne has was subsequently downgraded to a variant of "uncertain significance," meaning it is not known if this particular mutation causes HCM.
According to Freese, cases involving uncertain findings occur frequently. Genetic counselors can help clarify what new interpretations of test results mean for patients and help them come to terms with the findings.
"It doesn't mean Mark's disease is not genetic, but we still don't have enough evidence to say what the exact genetic cause is for him," she says.
Although the genetic test did not identify a causative mutation, Deakyne continues to benefit from a multidisciplinary team with expertise across all aspects of heart care. Recently he started to experience palpitations and painful chest pressure, and these symptoms actually appeared during a clinic visit. Ernesto Ruiz Duque, MD, a fellow training in Ahmad's clinic at the time and now a heart failure faculty member at UI, immediately ordered an electrocardiogram to determine what was happening. The on-the-spot diagnosis and a simple reprogramming of the implanted defibrillator solved the problem.
"The painful chest pressure has not returned since," Deakyne says.

Star Wars Rebels Actress Is Hoping For A Live-Action Sabine Wren Spinoff
In the eyes of Lucasfilm and the average moviegoer, the Star Wars films have always taken priority over the TV shows, but as the cameo from Maul in Solo: A Star Wars Story made all too clear, the studio is still willing to incorporate major developments from their animated projects into their cinematic works. With that in mind, it's surely not unthinkable that Sabine Wren of Star Wars Rebels fame might some day make the jump to live-action, and should that day ever come, actress Tiya Sircar would be more than happy to reprise her role.
A recent Twitter exchange started with a fan asking Sircar if she'd be "at all opposed" to playing the young Mandalorian once more, to which she responded:
"Opposed?! On the contrary, I am seriously trying to will the Universe to allow a live-action Sabine story to be told and for me to be the one to get to tell it (as Sabine, of course). #fingersandtoescrossed"
It's a long shot, but going by the tweet's replies, there are a lot of fans out there who are right there with her in crossing their fingers and toes.

Incidentally, the character of Sabine came up just last week in a report from the set of The Mandalorian. It seems that the tech used for the show's VFX is incorporating the design of the character's helmet, and while the report stressed that the headwear could just be a placeholder, the development has still fired up the imaginations of some fans, with one theory being that Gina Carano could actually be the one to assume the role.
So far, the evidence remains thin for such a claim, but this isn't the first time the internet has suggested that a Star Wars Rebels character could be making the jump to live-action, and it probably won't be the last, either. Though we don't have much to go on, surely fans can still hold onto the hope that The Mandalorian or Star Wars: Episode IX will have a pleasant surprise or two in store when they drop next year.

← Guidance to Local Authorities where one parent murders the other
What the Court want from experts, and other adventures in judicial ass-whupping →
"Hope your child enjoyed their stay, now if you could just settle your bill, please"
Posted on August 14, 2013 by suesspiciousminds
Or, on an Alan Partridge vibe "Cashback!" (Have been hitting the Partridge in readiness for the film, apologies)
The legal implications of the mooted proposals from Worcestershire to charge parents for voluntary foster care.
Worcestershire are of course, only consulting on the scheme at the moment, and haven't made any decisions; but the idea in a nutshell is that where a parent can't look after a child and the child goes into voluntary foster care, the parent would be charged by Worcestershire to recover the costs of this (subject to the parents means)
http://www.communitycare.co.uk/articles/14/08/2013/119417/council-defends-controversial-plans-to-charge-parents-whose-children-go-into-care.htm
http://www.theguardian.com/society/2013/aug/13/children-charged-social-care-worchestershire?INTCMP=SRCH
There are, as we know, two distinct categories of services that a Local Authority provides for children in need
Section 17 services to meet their needs
Section 20 accommodation of children who have to live away from their families for whatever reason.
Most lawyers are dimly aware that the Children Act has in it tucked away the POWER to make charges for section 20 placements, but the Act actually goes further than that.
Surprisingly, despite all the vitriol that Worcestershire's mooted policy has caused them, they are actually just complying with the Children Act 1989
Schedule 2 para 21. —(1) Where a local authority are looking after a child(other than in the cases mentioned in sub-paragraph(7)) they shall consider whether they should recover contributions towards the child's maintenance from any person liable to contribute("a contributor")
See that word 'shall' there? That means it is a mandatory duty. The Local Authority are legally obliged to consider whether to recover financial contributions from a parent where the child is in voluntary foster care. (para 21 (7) prohibits doing so where the child is in compulsory foster care i.e an interim care order, for obvious reasons). They HAVE to consider whether they should try to recover the costs from the parent.
What Worcestershire's maligned policy goes on to say is that such charges wouldn't be imposed on any parent in receipt of benefits (which the Act already says in Schedule 2 para 21(4) ) and that they would only ever recover those financial contributions where it is reasonable to do so (which the Act already says in Schedule 2 para 21 (2))
So Worcestershire could simply have told everyone that their intention was to comply with their duties under the Children Act 1989. Job done.
Of course, although those duties exist, they are one that most authorities overlook, just as (cough cough) many of the OTHER duties in Schedule 2 get overlooked from time to time.
This is really more of a corporate decision that where a parent is working and has financial means, that the Local Authority would genuinely look at the issue of charging them for accommodating their children i.e they would ACTUALLY give it consideration under Schedule 2 para 21; whereas most Local Authorities, if they have thought about para 21 at all, it is that they would not ever try to recover such contributions.
One can see why, as soon as one looks at para 22's provisions as to how such charges would actually come about
22. —(1) Contributions towards a child's maintenance may only be recovered if the local authority have served a notice("a contribution notice") on the contributor specifying—
(a) the weekly sum which they consider that he should contribute; and
(b) arrangements for payment.
(2) The contribution notice must be in writing and dated.
(3) Arrangements for payment shall, in particular, include—
(a) the date on which liability to contribute begins(which must not be earlier than the date of the notice);
(b) the date on which liability under the notice will end(if the child has not before that date ceased to be looked after by the authority); and
(c) the date on which the first payment is to be made.
Para 22 also caps the contributions to be no more than the actual cost of foster care. That of course, prevents the Local Authority blessed with affluent parents with stroppy teenagers from propping up their budgets by charging Mr and Mrs Moneybags £10,000 a week to look after young Tony Moneybags.
Okay, well having :-
(a) Found a parent who has some means and isn't on benefits, whose child is voluntarily accommodated
(b) Decided whether it is reasonable to ask them for a contribution
(c) Set that amount at what it is reasonable for them to pay – that being no more than the foster care allowance
(d) Drawn up a Contribution Notice
What happens when the parent doesn't pay the money?
Well, para 23 kicks in
23. —(1) Where a contributor has been served with a contribution notice and has—
(a) failed to reach any agreement with the local authority as mentioned in paragraph 22(7) within the period of one month beginning with the day on which the contribution notice was served; or
(b) served a notice under paragraph 22(8) withdrawing his agreement,
the authority may apply to the court for an order under this paragraph.
(2) On such an application the court may make an order("a contribution order") requiring the contributor to contribute a weekly sum towards the child's maintenance in accordance with arrangements for payment specified by the court.
(3) A contribution order—
(a) shall not specify a weekly sum greater than that specified in the contribution notice; and
(b) shall be made with due regard to the contributor's means.
(4) A contribution order shall not—
(a) take effect before the date specified in the contribution notice; or
(b) have effect while the contributor is not liable to contribute(by virtue of paragraph 21); or
(c) remain in force after the child has ceased to be looked after by the authority who obtained the order.
See that last little paragraph that I've underlined? That means that the order that the Court can make (but won't) doesn't have any effect once the child stops being looked after.
So what, you say?
Well, once you realise that the Local Authority HAVE to stop accommodating a child voluntarily once the parent objects (s20(7) , but that they HAVE to provide accommodation for any child who meets the criteria in s20(1), which includes "the person who has been caring for him being prevented (whether or not permanently or for whatever reason) from providing him with suitable accommodation"
(Lightbulb)
It is pretty clear that the wealthy parent, served with a contribution notice, who ignores it, and is then taken to court, can simply declare as soon as the Contribution Order is made that they object to the child being accommodated.
That ends the accommodation and the Contribution Order. The parent can then notify the LA that the child needs to be voluntarily accommodated all over again.
And note that the Contribution Order doesn't compel any payments HIGHER than the original weekly amount in the contribution notice, so it doesn't provide for recovery of the previous weeks missed. (that's the net effect of reg 23(3) (a) )
In those circumstances, the Contribution Order will net the Local Authority not one shiny penny, and will lose them all the legal fees and costs in the meantime.
So, just running things through in my own mind :-
A policy of charging middle to high income parents for voluntarily accommodating children would be politically unpopular
It would garner very negative publicity (as we have seen, just saying that you are considering it makes things get ugly)
Probably only covers a small proportion of the children who are voluntarily looked after in any event
Has the possibility of discouraging parents who are not coping temporarily and need a break from seeking that help
It almost certainly inhibits the working relationship between the Local Authority and the parent aimed at fixing the problems so that the child could go home.
It would be administratively expensive – someone has to do financial assessments (and how do you get a parent to tell you their income anyway? What's in it for the wealthy parent to tell you?), someone has to draw up Contribution Notices, someone has to collect the money and keep track of it
Any attempt to enforce it would be incredibly vulnerable to a side-step using the interplay of s20(7) and para 24 (4) (c), as outlined above
It would be unlikely to actually recoup any income
So, ending with Alan Partridge again, I'm not sure that this policy is "back of the net" material
Of course, all Worcestershire have done so far is remind themselves that they have a statutory duty to CONSIDER this and all that they have done is complied with their duties under the Children Act 1989.

This is probably the clearest explanation I've seen yet of the potential charging for foster care that's currently incited shock across the nation.
Much kudos to suesspiciousminds for the work in clearing this up so much.
Oh, thank you, very nice of you to say so.

When I worked at another LA in 2008 they had created a template letter aimed to do what Worcester propose i.e. establish whether parent can/should contribute. The letter was used on a couple of occasions but as far as I am aware not one 'shiny' penny was recovered but there was no media interest at the time.
While I agree that some parents could and should contribute I too cannot see how this could be enforced effectively under current legislation.
A better approach might be to lobby Government to move ALL child benefit across to foster carers or the relative caring for the child for the period of the stay. At the moment, that doesn't happen until a Residence Order or such is made, and seems to take forever. That would be a small amount of money in each individual case, but would add up to far far more
Jean Robinson | August 15, 2013 at 12:54 pm
Having seen a fair amount of shenanigans between local authorities and parents, this raises certain questions for me:
1. What about the children in "voluntary" care because parents were were told agree to "voluntary care or else…….."?
2. With your child in their hands, how many parents would dare to start a confrontation? We have seen far too many parents who fought for better provision for children with special needs, caught in a mesh of hostility where social services were used as a "frightener".
3. What about prior consent? Faced with an estimate in advance of what the actual bill would be, parents may well find relatives who will do it for less – and with less trauma to the children. After all, we shop around for everything else – including day care for children.

I imagine jean, that worcestershire faced with the bad press are looking for a way to bow out gracefully – hence my trail of face-saving breadcrumbs. You are entirely right – the policy gets very messy and blurred with all the things you raise – not to mention separated parents. Where the children mostly live with dad, but mum has the greater income, or vice versa, will one parent be asked to pay more? More importantly, however, there's no legal obligation on a parent to answer any questions about financial circumstances prior to s20 – if the s20 criteria are made out, that's the duty on the LA. They don't have any authority to be negotiating terms about the accommodation first.
