Triad High School will host a pair of job fairs on Tuesday, May 1. Bill Lackey/Staff
Triad to host job fairs for students, community
Matt Sanctis, Staff Writer
Triad High School will host a pair of job fairs early next month to give both high school seniors and area residents a chance to connect with local businesses.
More than a dozen companies have already signed up to participate, said JJ Martin, a supply chain management instructor for the Ohio Hi-Pointe Career Center, who helped plan the events. Both job fairs will take place on Tuesday, May 1 at the high school.

A job fair open to high school seniors in Champaign County will take place from 1 to 2:30 p.m. at the high school. A second job fair, open to the general public, will take place from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the high school.
Most similar events in the county take place in Urbana, Martin said. Hosting the events in North Lewisburg will provide access for residents in the county who typically have further to travel.

"We've open it up to more than just manufacturing to include the other opportunities that are available specifically in Champaign County," Martin said. "There are so many open jobs in this area and that's a good thing. Just a few years ago it seemed like we had some record-high unemployment numbers."
Many of the opportunities available will be in entry-level positions in industries like manufacturing that might be a good fit for students who are looking to get a start on their career right out of high school, Martin said. Students planning on attending college may also learn more about potential internships in the future, he said. It will be open to all high school seniors in Champaign County.
DETAILS: Trucking, nursing most in-demand jobs in Clark, Champaign region
"This is an opportunity for those kids to go in and talk to companies and start thinking about what opportunities may be available to me right here in our community when I'm graduated from college," Martin said.

The companies will also open up to the general public in the evening. The goal is to make the job fairs an annual event, he said.
Other businesses interested in taking part in the job fair are encouraged to contact the Champaign Economic Partnership, he said.

Peter Bogdanovich Has Come and Gone
Well, we just lost another of those daring young men who made the Hollywood films of the 1970s so exciting. Peter Bogdanovich is gone, at age 82. He broke into the industry quite young, causing many movie historians then and now to compare him to another "boy genius," Orson Welles. Clearly relishing the comparison, he wore ascots, cultivated friendships with some of the greats of the Golden Age, and shot two of his best films (The Last Picture Show and Paper Moon) in living black & white.
When I think of Bogdanovich, though, Orson Welles doesn't come to mind. Instead I remember Roger Corman, my former boss, as the man who gave Bogdanovich his first big break. The story has been told many times, but I much prefer the version of Polly Platt, Bogdanovich's first wife, his creative partner, and the woman he dumped for Cybill Shepherd on the set of The Last Picture Show. Polly, who passed away in 2011, spoke to me at length three years earlier, about how Roger jumpstarted the movie careers of two young east-coasters who were passionate about the film medium.
Peter and Polly first met Roger Corman at a screening. (She thinks it was Last Year at Marienbad.) Afterwards, they chatted about film over coffee, and Roger was obviously impressed by their determination to find careers in the industry. In her words, "Roger wanted to make money and we wanted to make movies. It was a perfect marriage." One of the duo's first assignments for Roger was to improve upon a Soviet sci-fi film he'd bought. It had great special effects (including a space ship flying through the cosmos), and their job was to make it attractive to American drive-in audiences. After they rewrote the script to include a crash-landing on an exotic inter-galactic planet, Roger allotted them one week to shoot new footage that featured sexpot Mamie Van Doren as a mermaid wearing a seashell bra.. The result: Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women.
They were also all-purpose assistant when Roger directed his biker classic, The Wild Angels. Peter, who mid-production finagled the job of second-unit director, has said, "I went from getting the laundry to directing the picture in three weeks. Altogether, I worked twenty-two weeks—pre-production, shooting, cutting, dubbing—I haven't learned as much since." (Polly worked alongside him on a script rewrite, and also found herself doubling on the back of a chopper for female lead Nancy Sinatra.)
The reward came when Roger approached them with another challenge. Actor Boris Karloff owed him two days of work from an earlier film, The Terror. This had been one of Roger's lesser flicks, and they were free to use its footage along with new material to make a horror movie of their own. It was Polly, still traumatized by the JFK assassination, who came up with the concept of a sniper running amok at a drive-in movie theatre. They collaborated on the script; Peter directed the film while also playing a key role. With the release of Targets in 1968. his Hollywood career was fully launched.
Nor did Bogdanovich's relationship with Corman end there. As my former colleague, filmmaker Joe Dante, once told me, "The thing about Roger is that you meet him on the way up, and if you're not lucky you meet him again on your way down." In 1979, while Bogdanovich was in a downward spiral, Roger hired him to shoot Saint Jack, about an American hustler in Singapore.. Dante remembers, "It turned out to be a good picture, and it put him back on the road."

Top Stories from Independent Journalists Across the Web
Because its trial designs do not meet even the basic minimum criteria set forth by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for new vaccines, AstraZeneca's adenovirus-vector vaccine for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) will "never be licensed in the U.S.," says SVB Leerink health-care analyst George Porges. Despite claims that the jab is 70 percent effective – or 90 percent effective, depending on which skewed dataset you look at – AstraZeneca's COVID-19 injection, known formally as ChAdOx1, is neither safe nor effective. The drug giant "tried to embellish" its early reporting on the jab by claiming 90 percent efficacy in a limited subset of subjects who received a "modified" dose. These individuals had not yet received the "full dose," which came four weeks later and produced less-stellar results. In Porges' view, ChAdOx1 will never be licensed in the United States for a number of reasons, perhaps the most significant being that the basic FDA thresholds for scientific proof of safety and efficacy have not been, and never will be, met. Not only that, but AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine is harming trial participants by giving them serious neurological conditions that are far worse than anything the novel virus itself could produce. Porges' own thesis that "all spike protein vaccines are created equal" has been confounded by the findings of these halted trials, which also calls into question other adenovirus-vector vaccines being produced by Big Pharma competitors such as Johnson & Johnson (J&J).
No COVID-19 vaccine will ever be safe or effective
On the flip side, Porges is focusing his sights on adjuvanted protein sub unit vaccines such as those being develop by Novavax and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). These engineered synthetic virus vaccines, he says, could be more effective at "boosting" immunity to COVID-19. "… but it appears that the occurrence of pre-existing or post-vaccination immunity to the vector has a significant dampening effect on the efficacy of the vaccines (and may confer risk as well) and for this reason we believe these products are likely to be regarded as relatively marginal suppliers in the COVID vaccine market of the future," he adds. AstraZeneca's ongoing clinical trial is still claiming 70 percent vaccine efficacy following 132 infection events. Meanwhile, the media is admitting that the results are "a little bit more mixed" than those put out by the likes of Pfizer and Moderna, and are also more "confusing." This is saying a lot, seeing as how Pfizer and Moderna's "amazing" results are completely bogus and backed by nothing more than empty promises. Big Pharma, the mainstream media, and other key players in the COVID-19 vaccine game continue to pretend as though they are perplexed about mass public resistance to all of these vaccines, no matter their respective technologies. At least half of the American public says it will not be getting jabbed with any COVID-19 vaccine because they are being rushed onto the market at "warp speed" while their manufacturers hold zero liability for any adverse events that may result. "I don't understand this concern people have that a multi-billion dollar global corporation would rush a product to market in order to sell it for untold billions in profits despite potentially harmful side effects, knowing they cannot be sued due to the law protecting vaccine manufacturers," wrote one Zero Hedge commenter sarcastically. "Some people are just tin foil hat conspiracy theorists, I guess." Another echoed that sentiment, noting that Moderna itself admitted back in 2017 that mRNA vaccines, which is the type it is currently developing for COVID-19, "will never be safe enough for use in humans."

Q: _openai_ request method stream returns ghibberish in the beginning on Nextjs api route Problem
I am using Nextjs to submit a prompt variable via a <form/> to an api route, which makes a request via the openai library with a responseType: "stream". Then I try to stream the response to the Frontend like this:
answerStream.data
  .on("data", (chunk: string) => res.write(chunk))
  .on("error", error => {
    console.error(error);
    res.end();
  })
  .on("end", () => res.end());

My problem is that while this works, the initial chunks are just ghibberish. For example if I ask for "Ghibberisch", these are the returned first few lines:

G
hib
berGischhib isbert eischine: Sprache E,ine die al steich Spr ausache v,ielen die vers hechieduteen noench Spr leacbt

Spr

After a few paragraphs, this is returned:

Ghibberisch ist eine sehr alte Sprache, die bis heute noch lebt und die viele verschiedene Kulturen verbindet. Es ist eine sehr interessante Sprache, die viele Geschichten und Traditionen beinhaltet und die Menschen, die sie sprechen, möchten sie auch weiterhin bewahren. Wenn Sie mehr über Ghibberisch erfahren möchten, gibt es viele Möglichkeiten, es zu lernen.

So it works, but unfortunately, too late. This is the code on the Frontend:
  React.useEffect(() => {
    let url = "/api/ai?";

    url += Object.keys(request)
      .map(key => `${key}=${request[key]}`)
      .join("&");

    const eventSource = new EventSource(url);
    eventSource.addEventListener("message", e => {
      try {
        if (e.data == "[DONE]") {
          eventSource.close();
          setSubmitting(false);
        } else {
          const message = e.data.replace(/^data: /, "");
          const messageObject = JSON.parse(message);
          setArticle(
            state => (state = state + messageObject?.choices[0]?.text)
          );
        }
      } catch (error) {
        console.log(error);
      }
    });

    eventSource.addEventListener("close", e => {
      console.log("Connection closed with the server");
      setSubmitting(false);
    });

    eventSource.addEventListener("error", e => {
      props.setError(e?.message || "Leider ist ein Fehler aufgetreten");
      setSubmitting(false);
      eventSource.close();
    });
  }, [request]);

Q: If iterated integral is zero then function is zero We are in Measure & Integration class and were assigned this problem from a chapter on Product Measure & Fubini Theorem:

Let $f$ be a real-valued function, integrable with regards to 2-dimensional Lebesgue measure on $[0, 1]^2$, and also for all $a, b \in [0, 1]$ it is further given that
  $$\int_0^a \int_0^b f(x.y)\ dy \ dx = 0.$$
  Show that $f = 0 $ almost everywhere.

To me, the problem "looks" intuitive because if $f \neq 0,$ then in the first step the $\int_0^b f(x, y) \ dy \neq 0$ and in the second step $\int_0^a \int_0^b f(x.y)\ dy \ dx \neq 0$, contradicting the given hypothesis. But I do not know to write it down mathematically.
Please help and thank you.

A: HINT: Use Fubini's theorem and the fact that the double integral is zero for all $a$ and $b$ to show that the integral of the function is 0 on every rectangle in $[0,1]\times [0,1]$. Then prove that any function that is not almost everywhere 0 must have nonzero integral on some rectangle.

'I died inside': Woman holds back tears in abortion law submission

Watch: Liri Kazazi presenting to the Abortion Legislation Committee. Credits: Facebook / Abortion Legislation Committee
A woman held back tears while submitting on proposed abortion law changes, urging MPs to ensure pregnant women have access to all the information they need.
Liri Kazazi told the Abortion Legislation Committee she was 17 years old when she had an abortion at a clinic in Wellington in 1981 - and regrets it to this day.
"I did not know what abortion would be like - how easy it would be to get, how devastating it would be," she told the committee. "When my baby died, I died inside too."
Abortion providers say women should have final decision, not GPs
Protesting outside clinics could be banned under new abortion reforms
'We have a right to be heard': Anger over Abortion Legislation Committee process
Kazazi said she did not receive enough information to make an informed decision when she went to the abortion clinic as a teenager and is urging the committee to impose a mandatory counselling and stand-down period.
"I believe that the first step a woman makes to reach out for some help... there needs to be some good support right at the get-go and that there be good consultation... and that be away from the abortion clinic."
Kazazi said her child would be 38 today, and she often wonders what he or she would be like as a person.
"My mind cracked, while the gravity of what I had done overwhelmed me," she said, reflecting on the day she had the abortion.
"My baby did not have the ability to speak for his or her right to keep living. In turn, I lost my voice too... I became very depressed, anxious, timid, traumatised."
Kazazi said she "entered into uninformed consent" and experienced a "lack of transparency from the GP to the abortion clinic".

"The word foetus was used, instead of a person or child developing - no pictures showing development at that point, no alternatives to abortion were presented, nor questions to establish my state of mind in the situation."
She said the statement she made at the abortion clinic, "I don't think I can handle being a parent", should have been "unpacked" with alternatives offered such as adoption.
"At the abortion clinic, after I had blacked out, I'd been given a sedative. Later I was shaken awake, but I didn't want to wake."
ACT leader David Seymour said it was clear that "at a time when you really needed help and support, you didn't get it, and I think everyone here in this committee would agree across political lines that it's extremely regrettable".
He asked Kazazi for suggestions on how the current legislation should be changed so that it might eliminate the possibility of other women having experiences like hers.
"There needs to be some good support right from the get-go, and that there be good consultation in all different forms and that be away from the abortion clinic," Kazazi replied.

Her submission was in contrast to previous submitters from the Abortion Providers Group, who don't agree with the legislations requirement that women need a doctor's approval if she is more than 20 weeks pregnant.
"The reason why we don't think there should be a limit is because it places a GP in a situation where they make a decision on someone else's care," Dr Helen Paterson, a gynaecologist, told the committee.
"If we want to improve gender equity, we should work towards autonomy, and this doesn't fit with that."
Dr Robin Briant, who has worked in Family Planning and in conflict zones overseas, also urged the committee not to "introduce processes to make abortion more difficult".
She said her experience of providing abortions was that it was "almost exclusively of people anxious to have their procedure done, anxious right up to it, and extremely relieved afterwards".
"I know many people who have had terminations, and I know none who have been severely damaged by it, or even particularly damaged."
As it currently stands, women have to use a loophole to get an abortion in New Zealand, by getting two doctors to agree the pregnancy would put her in physical or mental danger.
Justice Minister Andrew Little introduced legislation in August to bring abortion out of the Crimes Act with a health-based approach.
The legislation passed its first reading in Parliament in August as a conscience vote for MPs, with 94 votes in favour and 23 against.

At Ramillies, small classes ensure that each pupil receives an education designed to bring out and develop their strengths and talents. For their daily Maths and English lessons, the children from Year 4 to Year 6 are grouped according to ability rather than age, and the flexibility of this system enables us to teach each child at the appropriate level. Specialist teaching continues for French and Music and is introduced for Science, Art and PE. At the end of Year 6 most of our pupils go into the Senior School, but if appropriate, we prepare pupils to take the entrance examinations to selective independent senior schools.
In addition to the usual curriculum we offer some less common subjects, for example brain training games, motor skills sessions, cooking and sewing. Children are also encouraged to take part in a wide range of extracurricular activities.

A Baby Was Born In Minnesota At 11:11 PM On November 11 And People Are Wondering What She Will Be Named
Rachel Tsoumbakos
"At the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" is an expression most people are familiar with, particularly at this time of year. Now, for a couple in Minnesota, the quote will have even more meaning as this is the exact time their baby was born.
Erin and Mike Potts have welcomed their newest addition to their family — a baby girl — right on time for Veterans Day. The girl was born at 11:11 p.m. on November 11, according to WCCO.
To make this arrival extra special, 2018 marks the 100th anniversary of the World War I armistice. As Kiro 7, points out, Erin delivered her precious bundle of joy 100 years and 12 hours "after the armistice ended hostilities during World War I."
Erin and Mike Potts welcomed the safe arrival of their very special baby girl at The Mother Baby Center at United and Children's Minnesota. The Hugo couple report that the delivery went "smoothly."
"It was a long labor from about 5 a.m. until 11 p.m., but the delivery went smoothly," Erin said.
Veterans Day (also known as Remembrance Day to Commonwealth nations) on November 11 is remembered around the world for being the day in which Germany signed an armistice agreement with the Allies, ending fighting on land, sea, and air, and bringing about the end of World War I.
As of Monday afternoon, Erin and Mike's newborn child is still yet to be named. Although, there are plenty of suggestions that could tie in with the special birth date.

Armistice is a girl's name that immediately springs to mind when you think of Veterans Day since this day originally went by the title of Armistice Day and is still a common title for this day in some countries such as France.
Poppy is another name that would be appropriate to name a girl born on November 11. Red poppies are traditionally worn on November 11. This tradition originated from a poem titled "In Flanders Fields" written by Canadian physician Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae. After reading this poem, Moina Michael, a professor at the University of Georgia, also wrote a poem, "We Shall Keep the Faith." She also swore to wear a red poppy on the anniversary from then forth. This year, 7,000 handmade poppies were also displayed at St Francis Xavier Cathedral in Australia this year in "a tribute to the fallen soldiers of the First World War," according to ABC.com.au.
Names tied to words that indicate the tributes of war veterans and those who fell during the First World War could also be used. Honor and Liberty are names that immediately spring to mind.
This child is the first for Erin and Mike Potts. She weighed in at 7 pounds 12 ounces and was 21 inches long, according to WCCO.

Q: How can I change a Commander or ACU upgrade? While playing the Supreme Commander Forged Alliance campaign and after I have built an upgrade for my commander (or an ACU unit) the game appears to offer me the possibility of losing that upgrade and replacing it with a different upgrade for that part (chest or right/left arm) of the unit. When I select a different upgrade the game then warns me that choosing the new enhancement will destroy my existing upgrade. No matter which choice I make at that warning message the game doesn't actually remove/replace an already built upgrade.
Is it possible to change commander/ACU upgrades, and how do I do this?

A: Yes, it should work. at least if you use "Forged Alliance Forever" community fixes.
Take a look in this tutorial where he changes the ACU upgrade.

May 12, 2020 May 12, 2020 Charlie Friday
One need only look as far as my Nintendeal bio to see my everlasting fandom for the Neo Geo. Now, I'm normally a MVS guy, and I have a few SNK arcade PCB's as well (P.O.W. being my favorite of the pre-Neo era). That said, I never gave their handheld, the Neo Geo Pocket Color, much thought. It was a non-backlit oddity that arrived late to the party and never got a foothold in the US, facing off against the juggernaut that was the Game Boy line of consoles.
That is, until a few years ago. I am a collector of Japanese gaming oddities, and among that, the WonderSwan, an ever further afield handheld gaming console. I was negotiating a small order of WonderSwan games and consoles when my buddy in Japan mentioned he had an excellent condition Neo Geo Pocket Color that wasn't moving, and I added it onto my order as an afterthought. The console feels well made, not surprising for SNK, and I purchased a few inexpensive games off of eBay over the ensuing months to have something to play on it.
I have enjoyed it, but I have no desire to mod this particular console, and fighting with an unlit screen at this point in my life isn't something I'm interested in doing. So when we were told of the release of Gals Fighters for the Nintendo Switch, I was curious… very curious.
The Neo Geo Pocket is a quirky but awesome handheld, but I'm glad it's finally getting some modern love.
As I imagine most of you probably don't know, Gals Fighters is the holy grail among Neo Geo Pocket Collectors. The English version regularly sells for north of $400. Originally released in 2000 as one of the last titles for the system, the opportunity to own a copy of this unattainable game for $7.99 is shocking. And it's a solid, solid game for what it is. Gals Fighters is a predecessor to the stunning SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy (watch for my upcoming review and comparison), released in late 2018.
What it is, is a 2 button fighter, which on the surface seems like it would be a terrible experience (see Street Fighter II for the Game Boy). However, SNK is the king of fighting games with more minimal control schemes, and still making those experiences seamless and deep. And Gals Fighters is surprisingly deep, with characters having up to 20 distinct moves available through different button and stick combinations. (While we are on it, I do miss the clicky stick of the NGPC while playing on the Switch, but that's a minor quibble.) Special moves (Mighty Bops!) are easy to pull off, there's a cool item system, and the game provides a surprising challenge.
Graphically, this is the NGPC at its finest. The animations are fluid, and the game is very popping with color, especially on the bright, crisp screen of the Switch. The music is catchy and light, and the "cut-scenes" are chuckle-worthy at points with their over-the-top drama. Code Mystics did a bang-up job with this port and platform build, and the game runs without a single hitch I can see anywhere.
This is a colorful game, even its simplicity.
FEATURES AND THE FUTURE
The most welcome addition to Gals Fighters is a convenient single-screen multiplayer. It's hard enough to find someone else with a NGPC, and I'd say nigh impossible to find a pair of someones who have a system and both have a copy of Gals Fighters. The local multi is a breeze to use, and playing Gals Fighters head to head on my TV is something I honestly thought I'd never experience in my life.
There are some great features in this package, which does lead to some speculation, but more on that in a second. There are a slew of display and zoom options, with your expected pixel grid (which really replicates the in person look of the NGPC screen), and you can cycle through what seems to be every NGPC system variation as a border of sorts. It was quite unexpected when I booted the game up for the first time. There's also a handy rewind feature which, when we are talking about emulation, why not; and a digital version of the manual, which in itself is a treat due to the rarity and price of the original.
The pixel filter is an astonishingly true-to-life depiction of a NGPC screen… I have to squint to see it!
Let's look at those system borders a little more closely. If this was to be a singular release from SNK and Code Mystics, I honestly don't know why they would have included all these extras, especially the system borders. It's my opinion that this is the first in a line of NGPC releases set for the Switch, and I for one, am very excited at that prospect. And why shouldn't they? The Neo Geo main system games have done very well for them, and while I wouldn't necessarily buy a NGPC game on PS4, for instance, it makes perfect sense on the Switch for on-the-go gaming.
Gals Fighters is not without its offbeat visual humor, which lends charm to the experience.
Gals Fighters is an unexpectedly engaging game for a 20 year old handheld release, and it's a geeky delight to have it available on the Switch in such a wonderful package. The presentation is excellent, the concept of the platform is welcome (where is Game Boy Online, Nintendo? Huh?!), and the chance to own such a marquee and sought after title for dollars is fantastic. This game is well worth the $7.99 price tag, and if it's a sign of things to come, well, what a way to kick things off.

Q: How to use one variable as different object for different situations in a single scope? Normally, It is not possible to use one variable (one identifier) as two or more object in one scope. I mean the below program will not work:
public void HashMachine() {
    ClassA MyObj;
    //Some functions on MyObj here
    ClassB MyObj;
    //Some other functions on the new MyObj here.
}

But I want to know if is it possible to use a single variable as two different object in different situations as follow:
public void HashMachine(int ObjType) {
    switch(ObjType){
          case 1:
              ClassA MyObj;
              //Some functions here for this MyObj
              break;
          case 2:
              ClassB MyObj;
              //some other functions for this MyObj
              break;
    }
}

Unfortunately the above program is also wrong and I can't run it.
So, this is my question :
Can I use one identifier(one variable) for two different objects in one scope? (each one for a specific situation/condition).
Why I want to do this?

*

*I think in this way the program is shorter than the form that you must use different variables

*As I want to write a Java Card applet, and in the Java Cards, Garbage Collector in not present, it is better to have less objects and variables.

A: You can't use the same name twice in the same scope.  However, you can create new scope in your case statements within which you can use the name again.  For example:
switch(ObjType)
{
    case 1:
    {
        ClassA MyObj;
        //some code
    }
    break;
    case 2:
    {
        ClassB MyObj;
        //some code
    }
}

Here, ClassA MyObj is out of scope by the time the program reacehs the second case statement, so ClassB MyObj is legal.

A: Yes. You can do this. This is concept of abstraction. You can do like below
public interface MyInterface{...}

public class ClassA implements MyInterface {...}

public class ClassB implements MyInterface {...}

Then, you can refer to object of either class ClassA or ClassB by having a reference object of MyInterface.
MyInterface MyObj;
switch(ObjType){
          case 1:
              MyObj = new ClassA();
              //Some functions here
              break;
          case 2:
              MyObj = new ClassB();
              //some other functions
              break;
    }

Another option is provided by Das Louis in his example.

A: I think what your are looking for is an union.
  However it doesn't exist in Java. I could find this link which I hope will be usefull for you http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/2694#comment-40453

I think in this way the program is shorter than the form that you must
  use different variables

Maybe it does, but what about readability ?

As I want to write a Java Card applet, and in the Java Cards, Garbage Collector in not present, it is better to have objects and variables.

I am not sure I understand correctly your sentence.
To conclude, I strongly recommend you not to add ambiguity to your code

Pension death tax: your questions answered
Scrapping the hated 55pc 'pension death tax' will make it easier for children and grandchildren to inherit savings – but the details are complicated. Here's how it will work
The Chancellor has abolished the 55pc tax on pension funds at death
By Richard Evans, and Richard Dyson
12:20PM BST 29 Sep 2014
George Osborne, the Chancellor, has delivered a surprising perk for pension savers – he's announced the scrapping of a ruinous 55pc tax that applied to unspent money which remained within a pension plan at the saver's death. Here the changes are explained in detail.
I've heard about 'death taxes' being scrapped. Are they talking about inheritance tax?
No such luck. Today's changes relate to a separate tax on inherited pension plans. There is no change to "ordinary" inheritance tax or IHT, which will remain payable at 40pc on estates worth more than the exempt amount, £325,000 (or £650,000 for couples).
So what is this pension 'death tax' and how does it work?
Currently, if someone dies aged 75 or over, without having spent all their pension funds, the money is normally taxed at 55pc (unless a spouse or civil partner or dependent child under 23 take an income from it).
George Osborne refuses to rule out child benefit cuts
Pension freedoms: How much tax will I pay?
End of 'death tax' means you may be able to ignore £1.25m lifetime pensions limit
Pensions vs Isas: tables that show which is best
Richard Dyson: Now we can use pensions to avoid inheritance tax
'A quirk lost me a £120-a-week state pension'
Only if the pension has never been touched – when neither the 25pc tax-free lump sum nor any income from an annuity or "drawdown" plan has been taken – can pensions be inherited tax free, and then only if the pension owner dies before the age of 75.
What will change?
In a nutshell, the 55pc tax will be scrapped. If the pension saver dies before the age of 75, whether or not the pension has been touched, it can pass to the beneficiaries completely free of tax. There will be no tax on the transfer of the money to the new owner and none to pay when he or she makes any withdrawals from the fund.
If, however, the saver dies at the age of 75 or more, there will be some tax to pay. The 55pc tax that currently applies when the pension fund is transferred to the beneficiary will be scrapped and replaced by an income tax charge on any money withdrawn from the pension.
This charge will be at the new owner's top (or "marginal" rate). So anyone who pays the basic rate of income tax will pay that rate, 20pc, on money withdrawn from the pension. If the pension withdrawal boosts their income in that tax year to above the 40pc threshold, they would pay 40pc or even 45pc on the amount above that level.
The following table summarises the changes:
Die before age 75
Old system
Die after age 75
New system
Pension fund passed on (as a pension) if no money yet withdrawn
55pc tax
Pension fund passed on (as a pension) if tax-free cash taken or in 'income drawdown'
Tax payable if funds passed on are spent rather than kept in a pension
Source: Ros Altmann
What about people who buy annuities?
Anyone who has already used all their pension savings to buy an income for life via an annuity will be unaffected, unless the annuity contract provided for a lump-sum payment on death. The changes will affect people who have pensions that they have not yet touched, or savers who have taken the 25pc tax-free lump sum but not taken the rest, or have started taking the money via an "income drawdown" plan. Any money left in the pension on death will be subject to the new tax regime. Annuity income will continue to be taxed in accordance with the income tax rules.
Was this tax cut expected?
No one expected such extreme action. Experts had predicted a more modest cut in the tax on inherited pensions, following previous changes to the annuity system. Some had predicted that the Chancellor would announce a cut from 55pc to 40pc in this year's Autumn Statement.
Wouldn't I still have to pay IHT on the pension money I inherit?
No – pension assets are not part of your estate and are not subject to IHT (with the exception of a few old-fashioned and unusual pension schemes). Previously the 55pc charge was applied instead of IHT; the 55pc tax is now being scrapped.
Does this mean that I can put money into a pension and thereby avoid IHT when it passes tax-free to my family?
It looks that way. In some circumstances this could appear a very attractive option. For example, a higher-rate taxpayer could put £40,000 into a pension today, see it boosted to £66,700 by tax relief and then bequeath it tax free (if they die before 75) or subject to 20pc tax (if withdrawn in stages by a beneficiary who is a basic-rate taxpayer).
However, commentators have said in the past that the generous upfront tax relief on pensions for higher-rate taxpayers could be curtailed. There has been speculation that a flat-rate of tax relief at 30pc could be brought in.
What about property? Can I somehow put my house in my pension and thus pass it on to my children free of inheritance tax?
Unfortunately not. Residential property can't be owned inside a pension. That's why anyone who plans to use the new freedoms from April 2015 to invest in buy-to-let will have to take the money out of their pension first. But there may be clever strategies which some families could consider: for instance, borrowing against a property and putting the money inside a pension could be one route of reducing an IHT liability.
>> Comment: Now we can use pensions to avoid inheritance tax
I have a very valuable pension but it's a final salary type work pension. Will this new rule change mean anything for me?
No. People with "defined benefit" or "final salary" pensions are generally viewed as very lucky, but they won't benefit from much of the new promised freedoms – including an ability to pass pension assets on to children. One way round, although potentially very risky, would be to ask your pension scheme provider to transfer your pension entitlement to another scheme in the form of a cash benefit.
After that, though, you would be responsible for overseeing your investments. Your income would depend on investment returns or, if you bought one, the rate paid by an annuity policy. Many schemes wouldn't agree to do this in any case. Well-paid civil servants, teachers, doctors and others with generous taxpayer-backed final salary pensions won't be affected at all.
When will the changes take effect?
From next April.

Rudolf Kar(e)l Reichsgraf Chotek von Chotkow und Wognin (* 23. Juni 1832 in Prag; † 1. Oktober 1894 in Gaden/Gáad, Ungarn, heute Rumänien) war ein österreichischer Politiker. Er entstammte dem böhmischen Adelsgeschlecht Chotek von Chotkow und Wognin, dessen Familienoberhaupt er ab etwa 1875 war.

Leben
Seine Eltern waren Heinrich (Jindřich) Chotek von Chotkow und Wognin (1802–1864) und Gräfin Karolina Aloisie von und zu Eltz (1810–1862).

Rudolf Karl studierte Rechtswissenschaft und war zeitweilig ein Vertrauter von Kronprinz Rudolf. Er wurde um 1870 Mitglied des Herrenhauses, des Oberhauses des österreichischen Reichsrates und später, wie schon sein Onkel Karl Chotek von Chotkow (1783–1868), zum General-Burggraf von Prag und damit zum Statthalter Böhmens ernannt.

Im Oktober 1858 schloss er die Ehe mit Maria Theresia von Auersperg (1837–1888). Sein 1865 in Prag geborener Sohn Jan Rudolf starb aber bereits mit 19 Jahren. Wenige Monate vor seinem Tod heiratete Graf Chotek im April 1894 ein zweites Mal, die junge Freiin Claudine Gudenus (1871–1949) aus Gáad.

Aus dem Jahr 1880 ist ein persönlicher Brief von Kronprinz Rudolf an Chotek erhalten, in dem der naturwissenschaftlich hochinteressierte Rudolf auf "unvergeßliche Tage ... in der herrlichen Fruska Gora" und Nordungarn Bezug nimmt, sowie auf die Beobachtung und Jagd großer Raubvögel und Bären. Nach dem Selbstmord des Kronprinzen engagierte sich Rudolf Graf Chotek (u. a. mit Theodor Billroth und Hans Wilczek) für eine Erinnerungsmappe des Erzherzog-Thronfolgers.

myPOIs is based in Dun Laoghaire, Co. Dublin.
We collect information on places of interest mostly throughout Ireland.
A place or point of interest is anything from a hotel to a tourist attraction, petrol station, cemetery, historic castle or business - places that people want to find out about and more importantly how to get to.
We started back in 2006 and for the first few years, we gathered information on locations for satellite navigation systems such as Garmin and TomTom when there was very little information preloaded onto these devices.
These days the emphasis is very much on location searching and navigation for smartphones.
We find the exact location of these places so if your are using a GPS enabled mobile device such as a smartphone or sat-nav you will be able to get turn-by-turn directions to them. Often we have additional information such as contact details and numbers, email addresses and website links. Each listing is fully optimised for use with mobile devices making it incredibly easy for people to find.
It's simple. Our service is free to those who want to list with us and free to use. We aim to create a location information directory of Ireland available to everybody for everybody. With so many people now using smartphones and sat-navs to get about, exact locations are expected and what better way for a business to attract new customers by letting everyone know exactly where you are!
But why not just use Google Maps?
myPOIs is not an alternative to Google maps, in fact we also use Google maps. If you want your location on a Google map, in most cases, you have to tell Google yourself, it doesn't happen automatically. This is where we come in, we get that precise location. We then present it and information about it in an easy to use way on mobile devices. We also get the locations of places that Google knows nothing about. This might be a GAA ground, golf course, tennis club, cemetery, hospital, Garda station, petrol station, your business - in fact anything. So when you google a GAA ground and click on our link, you get all the contact details and a map is an easy to use format.

Managers and owners of hotels in San Francisco usually must deal with issues involving their HVAC systems. System breakdowns and guest abuse can cause an interruption of service, requiring more attention than standard residential and/or commercial heating and cooling systems. That's why hotel operators in the San Francisco Bay Area are pleased to count on Northern Services Inc. – California's premiere building and plant service company — for reliable repairs and maintenance to their heating and systems.
Hotel guests and visitors demand comfort, making it vital that your establishment has a dependable heating and cooling system. Northern Services trained technicians can provide timely preventative or repair service regardless of whether your hotel has a central, zoned or ductless HVAC system.
Each technician is licensed, certified and very knowledgeable about your heating and cooling systems. They can also train hotel management and staff on how to monitor rooms remotely in order to track temperature management energy, and ensure that it is being used wisely and not being wasted.
Northern Services can provide a reliable maintenance schedule, and conduct an inventory of equipment to enhance the energy efficiency of a hotel's HVAC system. They can also install individual room controls, and devise a system in which hotels offer key cards that must be present in the room for the HVAC system to operate, or similar energy-saving systems based on occupancy sensors. This would avoid wasted energy when guests leave the room.
Technicians with Northern Services also ensure that the hotel's boiler or chiller is well-maintained, and they can also install variable-speed controls to match system flows to the usage of hotel space.


Poll: is Ebola nurse probe fair?
Hundreds have signed a petition asking for an investigation into Ebola nurse Pauline Cafferkey to be dropped after allegations she concealed her illness on return to the UK. Some say she's a hero not a villain. What do you think?
Should probe into Ebola nurse Pauline Cafferkey be dropped?
Hundreds of people have signed a petition calling for an investigation into Scots Ebola nurse Pauline Cafferkey to be axed.
The nurse, from Cambuslang, had volunteered with Save the Children at the Ebola Treatment Centre in Kerry Town before returning to the UK.
The Nursing and General Midwifery Council is investigating whether she concealed her illness on return to the UK.
The online petition has almost 900 signatures and says Ms Cafferkey should be "rewarded" rather than facing a probe into her conduct.


Vice presidential running mates are all the rage of late, but the Liberty, at least, have no need for a No. 2.
Teresa Weatherspoon is the only leader necessary.
Early last month, one day after the Liberty sank to a grim record of 7-9, Weatherspoon spoke up at practice. With authority.
"You knew she meant business," Sue Wicks remembered.
By blasting the Cleveland Rockers, 57-44, last night before an announced crowd of 18,663 at the Garden, the Liberty clinched the Eastern Conference regular-season title for the second consecutive season.
Winners of 13 of their last 15 games, the Liberty (20-11) open the Eastern semifinals on the road Saturday night at either Washington or Detroit.
The Mystics will take the fourth and final playoff spot if they beat the visiting Rockers tonight. If they lose and the host Shock beat the Liberty tonight, then the Shock make the playoffs. If both the Mystics and the Shock lose, the Mystics get the playoff nod due to a tie-breaker.
Not that the Liberty seem too concerned with the details. In fact, Vickie Johnson is already looking long-term.
However, it wasn't until after their July 3 overtime loss at Cleveland that the Liberty began to click – which coincided with Weatherspoon's passionate spiel at practice.
Cleveland's Suzie McConnell Serio noticed the dramatic improvement.
Weatherspoon, who also suffered a slight concussion last Friday against the Miracle, was particularly effective last night in gathering seven assists, six steals and four rebounds. Center Tari Phillips continued her strong season with a team-high 14 points on 7-of-11 shooting and 11 rebounds. Crystal Robinson and Becky Hammon each added 11 points.
The Rockers were led by Merlakia Jones with 21 points.
Rebecca Lobo will find out by Thursday's league deadline if she will be inserted on the Liberty's playoff roster. The 6-4 center has missed all season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament of her left knee.
Lobo originally tore her ACL in the first minute of the season opener in '99. During rehabilitation she suffered the same injury to the same knee.
Richie Adubato was fined $1,000 for his outburst at the officials during Sunday's 57-41 loss at Miami.
Game 2 of the Eastern semis will be held Monday night at the Garden. If necessary, Game 3 will be Tuesday night at the Garden.

Hawthorn Leisure expects to recover less than half of deferred rent
By Stuart Stone contact
Deferred rent collection: despite making lockdown rent concessions totalling £3.8m to 30 June, Hawthorn says it is confident £1.7m of this rent will be recovered
Related tags: Hawthorn leisure, Alcoholic beverage, Beer, Public house
The CEO of Hawthorn Leisure, Mark Davies, has revealed that the operator has made in the region of £6m from pub disposals during lockdown and is confident of recovering a further £1.7m in rent deferred from before 30 June.
The NewRiver-owned operator of 720 pubs as of 31 March 2020 – up from 665 at the same point in 2019 – revealed like-for-like earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) per pub growth of 5.9% during the year to 31 March 2020.
What's more, Hawthorn completed 82 capital investment projects across its pub portfolio at a cost of £4.3m during the past 12 months and has integrated both a portfolio of 44 wet-led community pubs acquired from Bravo Inns in December 2019 as well as a further package of pubs from Marston's purchased in January 2020.
"Our full year results report another solid and sustainable period with high income growth across our pub portfolio and delivering like-for-like EBITDA growth of 5.9% (pre-Covid) was an impressive achievement by the team," Mark Davies, CEO of Hawthorn Leisure, said.
"Covid-19 has presented a challenging period for our industry but we have taken appropriate measures to ensure the safety, wellbeing and financial viability of our pub partners and tenants and the financial support and goodwill we generated through lockdown will ensure we get back to a sustainable trading level in the future."
Despite lamenting the lack of Government guidance, which British Beer & Pub Association (BBPA) board member Davies says is now expected on 19 June – a delay he describes as a "great disappointment" - he added the vast majority of Hawthorns pubs are on-track to resume trading on 4 July.
"We have also been working hard to prepare our pubs for reopening in July and look forward to welcoming our customers back to their local community pubs. 74% of our tenants and 99% of our pub partners have already indicated their intention to open when the Government gives the green light for the 4 July.
"It's crucial our Government appreciates the importance of local pubs to the communities they serve, both through job creation and social fabric, and through my new board role with the BBPA I am doing everything I can with my colleagues to get these key messages across and champion the UK pub sector."
Rent relief extended
Speaking to The Morning Advertiser (MA) after the publication of Hawthorn's pre-pandemic performance, Davies explains that, when polled, 93% of tenants said that Hawthorn have exceeded or met support expectations during lockdown.
As part of this, in addition to rent deferral, Hawthorn has supported more than 95% of its tenants successfully apply for Government grants according to Davies,
"On 21 March we made a decision to stop collecting rent given that pubs had been shut with immediate effect, and we've maintained that policy throughout lockdown," Davies tells MA.
"We've not been collecting rent during lockdown. We have been deferring rent and saying to every one of our tenants, who we've supported on a case-by-case basis, that we'll give them all the support they need and that we don't want them to build up debt - which isn't good for them or us.
"On 8 June, we announced a further support package which from 1 July - assuming pubs are reopening on 4 July - will provide its own support grant to tenants for the month of July and August. This effectively means that all of our tenants get a two-month rent free period to allow them to get back up to a trading level that insures those businesses are sustainable."
However, despite making lockdown rent concessions totalling £3.8m to 30 June, Hawthorn says it is confident that £1.7m of this rent will be recovered - of which £1.5m has already been committed and £1.4m received.
It's latest results statement adds that any remaining rent will either be waived as part of conditional support grants provided to pub partners, or will be subject to a claim for the business disruption and loss of rent caused by Covid-19.
"In the past 10 days or so we've had rent receipts which equate to around 45% of rent which would have been due during the lockdown period - that money has come from the grants, effectively," Davies told MA. "It's all part of a package of support which effectively runs from the 20 March all the way through until the end of August."
£6m worth of disposals since lockdown
Hawthorn's latest results also reveal that it completed £48.4m of disposals during the year to 31 March, while acquiring eight assets in five separate transactions totalling £172.8m.
According to Davies, the outbreak of Covid-19 has done little to dent Hawthorn's plans for its estate.
"I've been blown away by the disposals that we've done during the lockdown period," he explains. "Like any business that grows like we have, you end up with certain assets that you consider no longer to be core or part of your strategy so we've been selling individual sites during the lockdown and we've raised about £6m of proceeds. I think it just shows the strong, underlying value of pubs in the UK.
"There will be opportunities to buy and there's going to be quite a few pub companies no doubt wanting to sell portfolios over the next 12 months. We are very well placed to look and consider those acquisition opportunities as and when they come along."
Trio added to executive committee
The release of Hawthorn's latest financial results comes less than a week after the operator announced a trio of internal promotions on 15 June as it added Andy Parker, Mark Brooke and Ed Little to its executive committee.
Parker has been promoted to director of leased and tenanted operations having previously held the role of operations director, north, and will now oversee Hawthorn Leisure's entire leased and tenanted portfolio of almost 600 UK pubs.
What's more, Brooke, who joined Hawthorn Leisure in early 2020, becomes director of managed operations while, Little becomes property director.
Amid sector uncertainty over redundancies and widespread furloughing of staff – including at Hawthorn – what has put NewRiver's pub arm in a position to add to its top table?
"The key driver to this has been the growth in the size of the business," Davies explains. "We grew the portfolio in the second half of the financial year by completing two off-market acquisitions. That's taken the size of the estate up to over 700 pubs and given us the ability to look at the structure of the company.
"It's been driven by growth in scale and also the strategic decision we've made to split the structure and have Mark leading managed and Andy leading our leased and tenanted business, which is quite typical of the other larger pub companies.
"We've been planning for this for some time, it wasn't something that we decided to do because of the Covid environment. When you reach a certain size and scale I think it's appropriate because leased and tenanted businesses are different from managed - it's a different skillset."

Q: all network printers are automatically listed Print Manager in Ubuntu 14.04 automatically adds all network printers to print view
has got no answers and is also quite old.
I have this problem with 16.04 xenial.
Can anyone tell me how can I list only those printers that I have manually added? I could do it in 14.04 pretty calmly, but something came up which broke it - perhaps systemd because many services are automatically started even if they are manually stopped.
Moreover, when I stop the printing service cups using systemctl, then I cant add any printer, not even my local ones !
