Google Street View Rolls Into Israel (With Restrictions)
Richard Read August 26, 2011 Comment Now!
Google Street View -- like its big sisters, Google Maps and Google Earth -- is a great service that has changed the way we view the world, but it's taken a lot of heat, too, especially from privacy advocates. Now, Street View cars are making their first forays into Israel, but they'll be rolling with some serious restrictions in place.
The public's problems with Street View began simply enough, with citizens in Germany and elsewhere wanting their homes and businesses left out of the service due to privacy concerns. Then, when Google admitted its cars has "accidentally" recorded private information -- including emails -- from public wifi networks, the stuff really hit the fan. (If you'd like a refresher on all that, start here and work backward.)
The situation in Israel is slightly more sensitive, because Israel has been the subject of numerous terrorist attacks. The typically tech-friendly country (home to one of Better Place's larger EV experiments) is worried that terrorists could use Street View to help plot future assaults on Israeli soil. And so, government officials and Google sat together and worked out a series of restrictions to ensure that (a) Google is sensitive to potential problems and (b) the Israeli government has the right to blur or remove images from the service.
And it's not just government drones who will be able to alter Street View views: according to Haaretz, everyday users will have "an efficient, reliable way to blur images of license plates, places of residence and other objects". Google is also required to alert the public about the routes of its Street View cars, and those cars will need to be very clearly marked.
There are other, unspoken limits, too. For example, Google Street View cars will only turn their cameras on the cities of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. There are as yet no plans to roll cars into the far more sensitive areas of the West Bank or the Palestinian territories.
Our take?
This seems like great news for Israel, Google, and peace advocates, too. It's encouraging to see that a country so sensitive to security issues has agreed to share important mapping information with the world. And it's nice that an 800 pound tech gorilla like Google has been so accommodating -- though if Google Street View hadn't had such high-profile screw-ups in the recent past, would it be playing so well with others?

Q: Using newer version of tikz-cd for arXiv submissions I just realized that arXiv has an older version of tikz-cd. Therefore, using the standard package of tikz-cd and to submit a paper to arxiv seems impossible, if one requires the newer version of tikz-cd in the written code.
A straigtforward question is, how to alleviate this problem? Is it possible to avoid this package to be used by arXiv but rather to use it inside the LaTeX code?
A similar question also appears here but I don't have equal but I have rather other code parts for example gathered or \makebox in the code.

A: As of this writing, the arxiv still uses texlive 2011.  For me, at least, the only viable option is to take @cfr's suggestion, and make the diagram in a standalone document, then include it back in the original with \includegraphics.  Details of the following might not be the best way to do it, but it works for me.  Here's the standalone commutative-diagram.tex:
\documentclass[tikz, preview]{standalone}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,amsfonts}
% any other macros or packages that might affect the diagram
\usepackage{tikz-cd}
\begin{document}
\begin{equation}
  \begin{tikzcd}
    P \arrow[d, "a"] \arrow[rd, "b"]
    & \\
    S^3 \arrow[r, "c"] & S^2
  \end{tikzcd}
\end{equation}
\end{document}

[Note that I think the equation environment is not strictly necessary, but I like to keep it, in case I do something weird.]  I process that on its own with pdflatex.  Then in the main document, I just have
\begin{equation}
  \label{eq:commutative-diagram}
  \raisebox{-0.5\height}{\includegraphics{commutative-diagram}}
\end{equation}

That \raisebox part makes sure the label is aligned with the center, as suggested here.
It's an ugly and annoying solution, but it works.

A: The package is under the free GNU license. So you are golden on that side.
You need to locate the file tikzlibrarycd.code.tex, rename it to tikzlibrarySeyhmus.code.tex and load it in your document. Of course you need to upload the renamed file as well.
Instead of loading tikz-cd do the following:
\usepackage{tikz}[2013/12/13]
\usetikzlibrary{Seyhmus}

But since tikz-cd needs pgf version 3 to run, and arXiv is still with version 2.1, this is bound to fail. Depending on the arXiv workflow, this can also break the stuff of other authors. So be careful.

A: The following variation of the solution by Mike finally worked for me (Ubuntu 16.04):
find /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/generic/pgf/ -type f -exec cp {} pgftikz/ \;

One also needs:
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/tikz-cd/tikz-cd.sty
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/generic/tikz-cd/tikzlibrarycd.code.tex

Q: BitmapFactory.Options Recently, I'm learning how to load bitmap in android efficiantly based on  android Android Training. I encountered a problem. Here is my code:
    BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
    options.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
    BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.f, options);
    Log.i("TOM", "resource bitmap dimension: " + options.outWidth + " X " + options.outHeight);

    options.inSampleSize = 8;
    options.inJustDecodeBounds = false;
    Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.f, options);
    Log.i("TOM", "require bitmap dimension: " + options.outWidth + " X " + options.outHeight);

These code prints:
resource bitmap dimension: 1365 X 2048
require bitmap dimension: 342 X 512

After I set inSampleSize into 8, width and height become 1/8 of the origin dimension as Android Training said. But 512 is 1/4 of 2048!
Why?


Our modern health care systems rest on the availability of biopharmaceutical proteins. Among these proteins are monoclonal antibodies used for cancer therapy as well as innovative vaccines that exhibit therapeutic effects. The production and processing of such proteins is costly and time consuming because we are currently lacking reliable models predicting their expression, purification and manufacturability. Therefore, many operations in a production process of biopharmaceuticals are being developed by a trial and error approach leaving a relevant chance for product failure in the end despite the substantial amount of empiric knowledge that has been accumulated over the years.
In this respect, the Attract group "FAST-PEP" located at the Fraunhofer IME in Aachen has three major research foci. First, we aim to predict protein expression levels based on different genetic elements such as promoters and UTRs. Second, procedures are being developed that characterize the separation behavior of proteins for different purification operations (e.g. chromatography). Combined with mass balances this allows the rating of purification processes in terms of product yield and purity. Furthermore, the group is investigating how the data accumulated in the steps described above can be integrated and analyzed in order to improve the predictive models.

From Chance Offer to Enduring Relationship
When ICF coach Ron de Vries' child started school in Auckland, New Zealand, Ron visited the Principal to ask if they might find value in having coaching support. The Principal was intrigued by Ron's offer to support their development and commented that it sounded like the support they receive from Springboard Trust.
That generous offer and subsequent connection has led to a strategic partnership between ICF NZ and Springboard Trust that has benefited nearly 50 school leaders in the last two years.
As Ron was making his offer, Springboard Trust were developing a leadership framework for educators that reflects the Aotearoa NZ context. Little did he know that we were about to pilot that framework, as the basis for 360-degree feedback, paired with coaching support for the school leader to unpack their feedback, acknowledge their strengths and identify areas for development. An initial meeting led to nine coaches being part of our pilot of the service and the continued support of five to ten coaches per school term since then.
The connection with Ron and ICF and the opportunity to access accredited coaches, has been invaluable for Springboard and our school leaders. Each coach brings a high degree of care, support and professionalism, a level of questioning and stretch that school leaders receive when matched with an ICF volunteer. As an organisation we are lucky to have this strong commitment to supporting each individual to find the answers within themselves.
While the majority of ICF coaches that we have accessed are based in New Zealand, some have supported from as far away as Oman and London, working flexibly to ensure that their availability aligns with the school leader.
Many ICF coaches work remotely as part of their own practice and build rapport easily in this environment. Prior to this year, many school leaders only had face to face interactions with students and parents, and the experience of building rapport online put them in good stead when pivoting to online teaching during lockdown.
Having met, inducted and matched most of the ICF coaches, I am struck not just by how skilful each is, but also how personable, positive and genuine each and every person is. When debriefing with school leaders at the end of each engagement, many comment that their coach helped them to see themselves as a leader and they can't believe we found the perfect person for them. It's the first time many of our school leaders have received individualised support and having a strong coach in their corner has given many the confidence to make dramatic changes within their work.
The voluntary nature of ICF's support for Springboard Trust and school leaders has enabled many to access coaching that would not otherwise be accessible for them. This is a huge benefit for leaders who themselves are focused on ensuring excellent and equitable outcomes for their students.
Amavi Mey is Head of Strategy and Innovation at Springboard Trust, based in Auckland, New Zealand. She has also held Programme Manager and Delivery Lead roles at the Trust.
Originally from Cambodia, Amavi previously worked in Human Resources in the UK and NZ before retraining as a primary school teacher. These roles and a passion for people provided the perfect foundations for her to join Springboard Trust – an education change organisation that supports school Principals to enhance their strategic leadership capability and transform schools for students, staff and their communities.

Cárdenas, Butterfield, Long Introduce Bipartisan Bill to Fix Medicaid Penalty for Low-Cost Generics
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Tony Cárdenas (D-CA), Congressman G. K. Butterfield (D-NC), and Congressman Billy Long (R-MO) introduced the Protecting Access to Affordable Medicines Act of 2020. The 2015 Bipartisan Budget Act applied an inflation penalty originally designed for branded drugs to generic drugs as well, despite significant differences between the branded and generic markets. While appropriate in instances where manufacturers drastically increase the price of branded drugs, the inflation penalty in the generic market could apply in cases where a price is increased by just a few cents. This disincentivizes market entry and threatens the ability of existing manufacturers to continue producing affordable generic medicines. The Protecting Access to Affordable Medicines Act would set a floor at $1, so drugs that cost less than a dollar would be exempt from the penalty. This will help ensure that generic drug manufacturers stay in the market, generic drug shortages are avoided, and beneficiaries have access to quality and affordable medications.
"Families should not be forced to choose between buying groceries or medicine for their children," said Congressman Cárdenas. "Fixing the inflation penalty for generic drugs will allow Americans to access affordable prescription drugs. This is a commonsense fix that will help working families and I am proud to join my colleagues in introducing this bipartisan bill."
"It is imperative that drug prices are affordable and accessible to patients in need. The inflation penalty for generic drugs as currently written is triggered with even the most minor fluctuations in the price of generic drugs, even in cases where the manufacturer did not raise the price," said Congressman Butterfield. This has unintentionally deterred generic manufacturers from entering the market and has caused some to leave—increasing the likelihood of drug shortages and threatening access to generic drugs for patients. Many vulnerable populations depend on access to these low-cost generics, so I am proud to stand with my colleagues to introduce this vital piece of legislation to increase access to affordable medicines."
"Many Americans depend on affordable generic drugs, which is why it is critical that these medications are accessible," said Congressman Long. "By fixing the inflation penalty for low-cost generics, this bill will prevent many drugs from leaving the market and will help ensure that Americans have access to affordable prescription drugs. I'm proud to work with my colleagues in a bipartisan fashion to find a common sense fix."

Looking back on this period of internship days, the heart with a myriad of feelings. With the care and help of leaders, colleagues and seniors, I will gradually complete the transformation from a student to a financial staff through my unremitting efforts. As the cashier of Ningxia Donggang, I have mastered the working process and financial knowledge required by the position, and I am skilled in using Kingdee EAS software. Cashier is a careful job, master the company's daily income and expenditure, understand the cause and effect of each income and expenditure, manage the company's expense reimbursement, and assist the accountant to sort out each accounting file of the company. These three months are a process of learning and accumulation, of adaptation and transformation. More importantly, I have learned a lot about how to behave from leaders, colleagues and seniors. I will continue to forge ahead in my position and contribute my strength to the development of Dongling in the past 100 years.

Imperceptibly, I have been working in tianjin Lingbei Foreign trade Company for three months, looking back on this period of time, feeling a lot, a lot of harvest. This period of time, by the leadership of the company and predecessors of the careful guidance and care, familiar with the work process and required business knowledge, to achieve a good working state. At the beginning, I encountered a lot of tough problems. I kept an optimistic attitude, actively dealt with them and tried to find solutions. My colleagues also helped me with great enthusiasm, which helped me grow and exercise quickly. In life, everyone also gave me meticulous care and warmth, so that I quickly integrated into the big family of Tianjin Lingbei.

After three months of internship, for me personally, the new position is a new starting point, a new beginning. Come to a strange environment, in the face of a group of strangers, I should take the initiative to get familiar with the working environment, actively integrate into the family and familiar with the company's business processes. In the work, I am open-minded and eager to learn, diligent and enterprising, constantly exercise and show my personal ability, give play to my own value, actively make due contributions in my own position, and successfully complete every task assigned by the company.

Mining corporation Yonglong Company Zhang Qihao
The year 2020 is a very extraordinary year. Just out of university, I am full of hope and expectation for the outside world. I have chosen Dongling as a new starting point for my career path. I deeply felt the dongling people hard struggle, dare to the world first spirit. In the face of the coal industry that has never been involved, I am well aware of my lack of professional knowledge and working experience, and I have to establish a sense of learning. Only by continuous learning can I have advanced ideas and thinking, dare to break through myself and rearrange my portfolio. Administrative work is complicated, and we must work hard in service, management and coordination. Management is not only a staff and assistant, but also an art of execution. Coordination is based on full communication. Administrative work is a myriad of processes, which requires the initiative to find and solve problems and the ability to make efforts to become professional, strong, and able to work independently in the future.

Seamless Astronomy, Sea Monsters, and the Milky Way (Innovation and Digital Scholarship Lecture Series)
With Professor Alyssa Goodman, and Professor Chris Lintott
Oxford Internet Institute, 1 St Giles, Oxford OX1 3JS United Kingdom
Most astronomy researchers use online travel tools like Kayak and Expedia, yet they don't expect such integrative services in their research. Instead, they use "modernized" versions of old technologies, such as sending each other email in lieu of paper letters. Some astronomers, however, are leading the way toward a future that has much less precedent in a pre-internet world. In this talk, I explain elements of what future-leaning astronomers mean by "Seamless Astronomy", a term which effectively describes an ecosystem for scholarly research as smart and streamlined as Kayak is for travel. I also explain why more traditional astronomers are not always quick to appreciate or adopt "Seamless" principles–even though they use its products (including a wealth of well-organized, interconnected, literature and data) all the time.
To make the theoretical situation more real, I organize my talk around an ongoing astronomical research project that concerns a long so-called "infrared dark cloud" named "Nessie" and how it can be used to map out the skeletal structure ("Bones") of our Milky Way. The 10-person collaboration working on the Nessie/Bones project includes researchers whose preferences range from traditionalist to futurist, and so offers no end of anecdotes with which to illuminate the Seamless Astronomy story!
For previews of this talk's content, see projects.iq.harvard.edu/seamlessastronomy/ and milkywaybones.org.
Scholars collaborate online. Data are collected, delivered, analysed, and distributed via the Internet. Communication, both formal publications and informal exchanges, have moved online. Yet face-to-face conversations are still valued, seminars and lectures retain prestige, conferences proliferate, and frequent flyer miles accumulate. This lecture series will provoke a rich discussion of innovations in digital scholarship with an international array of scholars, examining implications for the sciences, social sciences, and humanities and for libraries and publishing.
The series is co-convened by UCLA Professor Christine Borgman, Visiting Fellow and Oliver Smithies Lecturer at Balliol College; Professor William Dutton, Professor of Internet Studies at the OII and Fellow at Balliol College, and Sarah Thomas, Bodley's Librarian and Fellow of Balliol College.

Born in Newport Station, she was a daughter of the late Frederick and Lena (Pemberton) Riley. For a number of years, Millie lived in Hantsport operating her own hairdressing business moving to Dartmouth in 1975. She maintained close contact with friends left behind - her July 1st visits were always welcomed and anticipated! In Dartmouth she worked at NSCC Akerley Campus cafeteria retiring in 1989. Many of the Food Service students kept in touch long after her retirement. Millie will be remembered for her sense of humour, love of music, dancing, playing cards, doing crossword puzzles and working on the weekly Halifax Herald Lexicon puzzle. She loved doing crafts especially plastic canvas. Millie enjoyed watching curling, skating and spending time with her friends. She was a long-time Feline Bowling League member and especially loved watching Jeopardy and "The Blue Jays" with her special friend/landlady of 39 years, Melba. Millie loved being Nanny to her grand and great-grandkids and was always happy for a visit. Millie will be sadly missed by her son, Larry and his wife Glenna (Kennedy); grandchildren, Shawn (Irene), Sheri (Dan) Green, Kim (Nick) and Lori(Chris) Nicholls; great-grandchildren, Karter, Kennedy, Dale, Madelyn, Vaughan, Amelia and Nora; sisters, Eileen (Karl) Saunders, Marlene Starrett; brother-in-law, John Brownrigg; and sister-in-law, Pat Giffin; numerous nieces and nephews.

SALIENT FEATURES OF LATE ANCIENT PHILOSOPHY
Plotinus: a new reading of Plato
During the imperial age, in many centers of the Roman world, philosophy was taught in close connection to the doctrines of the great philosophers of the past: Plato, Aristotle, Epicurus, Zeno. Not only in Rome, Athens, Alexandria, but also in Pergamon, Smyrna, Apamea, Tarsus, Ege, Aphrodisias in the east of the empire, Naples and Marseille in the west, a "school" of philosophy disseminated either Platonism, Aristotelianism, Stoicism, or Epicureanism. Against this background, the thought of Plotinus represented a turning point in the history of philosophical ideas which was to play a decisive role in the creation of falsafa and to influence indirectly philosophy in the Middle Ages, in both Latin and Arabic.
Coming from Alexandria, where he studied Platonism under the guidance of Ammonius Saccas, Plotinus arrived in Rome (244 C.E.) and opened a school. From his explicit claims, as well as the content of his treatises, we know that he was a Platonist and taught Platonism, but also took into account the doctrines of the other philosophers, especially Aristotle. As we learn from the biography that Porphyry prefaced to the edition of Plotinus' works, in the daily meetings of the school the treatises of Aristotle, accompanied by their commentaries – especially those by Alexander of Aphrodisias – were read before Plotinus presented his lecture.

Wisden at CWC19
When a record-breaking Shakib outclassed the Windies – Almanack
by Richard Whitehead June 17, 2020 - 11:57am 2 minute read
Shakib Al Hasan and Liton Das made a mockery of West Indies' first innings score of 321/8, guiding Bangladesh to the second-highest successful chase in World Cup history with a staggering 51 balls to spare. Here's Richard Whitehead's report from the 2020 Wisden Almanack.
West Indies v Bangladesh
Match 23, ICC Cricket World Cup 2019
The Cooper Associates County Ground, Taunton
At the halfway point of the qualifying stage, the two teams arrived at a critical moment. The winners would stay in the mix, the losers would glance nervously at airline schedules. Bangladesh handled the pressure, and sashayed home to complete the second-highest successful World Cup run-chase. At the heart of a stirring triumph was Shakib Al Hasan.
Gathering records like a wealthy vinyl collector, he hit his second successive hundred, in the process reaching an ODI double of 6,000 runs and 250 wickets in 92 fewer matches than the next fastest (Shahid Afridi). With Liton Das – celebrating his call-up with an immaculately constructed 94 from 69 balls – he put on an unbeaten 189, a national World Cup record.
Despite mounting evidence that the tactic was not working, West Indies kept bowling short; Bangladesh were unfazed. But the plotline was not straightforward. Holder rued an incident in the 23rd over, when Shakib swung lazily at Russell and the ball landed between Gabriel, snoozing at fine leg, and Hope, haring back from behind the stumps. That would have been 148 for four, and given West Indies an opening.
Their own innings had been a stop-start affair: Hope may have batted too long (121 balls) for 96, others not long enough, although Lewis belatedly made his mark with 70 off 67. In one passage of rollicking entertainment, 60 came between the 35th and 38th overs, with Hetmyer, who holed out after reaching 50 in 25 deliveries, striking the ball beautifully.

Cottrell provided one other highlight: swooping on Tamim Iqbal's firmly struck drive in his follow-through, he hurled the ball back in a flash, beating Tamim's dive to complete a thrilling run-out.

Community Association Managers Take UPL Issue to the Legislature
THE FLORIDA BAR NEWS
By Mark D. Killian, Managing Editor
A trade group representing community association managers, or CAMS, told the Legislature the process the Bar uses to issue unlicensed practice of law advisory opinions is flawed and that the Bar's Standing Committee on UPL is trying to carve out "a captive marketplace" for lawyers at the expense of another profession.
The CAMS were reacting to a UPL Committee advisory opinion issued in May that examined the activities of community association managers to determine if some of the services should only be provided by lawyers. The opinion is now pending at the Supreme Court.
Mark Anderson, representing the Chief Executive Officers of Management Companies — which represents 18,000 CAMS — told the House Civil Justice Subcommittee in November that the Bar's UPL process has become less about the practice of law and more about the creation of it.
"We believe there is something fundamentally wrong when, in the absence of any complaints or facts to the contrary, some lawyers who do not like another profession can simply exploit an unelected process intended to guide the public and the legal profession for something it was not intended — to forcibly create a captive marketplace for itself at the expense of another profession," Anderson said.
Anderson said CAMS were provided only limited opportunity to comment while the advisory opinion was being drafted and that certain UPL issues should not be defined through the court at the request of the same profession that stands to benefit from how it is defined.
"Bad process makes bad public policy, and let's make no mistake about it, as we sit here today the Bar is creating public policy, because the impact of a so-called advisory opinion regarding UPL is far more substantive and sweeping than the word 'advisory' would imply and extends well beyond the legal profession," Anderson said.
Lori Holcomb, the Bar's director of client protection who oversees the Bar's UPL efforts, told the committee the CAMS had plenty of opportunity to be heard at a well-publicized public hearing on the matter and kept the process open after the hearing for others to submit written comments. Holcomb said the committee received some 250 to 350 pages of testimony — all made available on the Bar's website — before rendering its decision. Holcomb did note no new testimony was taken when the committee met in public to finalize its advisory opinion. She also said many briefs have been filed with the Supreme Court on the pending matter, many from CAMS.
Rep. Ross Spano, R-Riverview, who brought the matter to the attention of the House committee, said: "The policy embraced by this petition will put more than 18,000 Floridians [CAMS] at risk of being put out of work at a critical time of recovery for Florida's economy by prohibiting them from continuing to provide their contracted services to associations."
Holcomb, however, said the proposed opinion will not change any of the rulings made by the Supreme Court of Florida in The Florida Bar re: Advisory Opinion – Activities of Community Association Managers, 681 So. 2d 1119 (Fla. 1996), the last time the court addressed the role of CAMS.
"What the CAMS have been operating under since 1996, we are not proposing that that changes," said Holcomb, adding that the UPL Committee worked to clarify the earlier opinion and also addressed some new law, including a recommendation that CAMS be permitted to write pre-arbitration letters.
The Real Property, Probate and Trust Law Section sought confirmation from the UPL Committee that the activities found to be UPL in the 1996 opinion continue to be the unlicensed practice of law. Those activities include the drafting of a claim of lien and satisfaction of claim of lien; preparing a notice of commencement; determining the timing, method, and form of giving notices of meetings; determining the votes necessary for certain actions by community associations; addressing questions asking for the application of a statute or rule; and advising community associations whether a course of action is authorized by statute or rule.
Since there is no statutorily defined definition of UPL, Rep. Kathleen Passidomo, R-Naples, asked what criteria the Bar uses to determine what constitutes UPL.
Holcomb said it is defined by case law and court rule, and the 37-member UPL Committee — of which 18 members are nonlawyers — has more than 250 cases to draw from.
"The reason there is no definition. . . is because the court recognized in 1980 that due to the ever-changing business and social atmosphere, you could not have a one set definition of UPL," Holcomb said.
In determining UPL, Holcomb said, the committee uses a three-prong test set forth by the Supreme Court of Florida:
* Does the conduct involve an individual's important legal rights?
* Does the person providing that activity require knowledge and skill of the law greater than that possessed by the average citizen?
* It is done by one for another?
Rep. James Waldman, D-Coconut Creek, asked why Realtors are permitted to draft contracts while others cannot.
Because the statute allows someone with a real estate license to bring together the buyer and seller, Holcomb answered, the court held they could draft the contact for sale.
"Can they draft another contract? No," Holcomb said.
Rep. Bill Hagar, R-Boca Raton, said there is an "inference in the air" that the Bar is focusing on CAMS "because they are an easy target versus, say, CPAs," who, he said, "often articulate more or equivalent tax law than a tax attorney."
Hagar said with 95,000 lawyers, some of whom are underemployed, the Bar's UPL work associated with CAMS "seems anti-competitive."
Holcomb said the UPL Committee does not take "easy targets" into consideration when preparing advisory opinions and noted it is often more lucrative for lawyers "to clean up a mess" than it is to have something prepared correctly the first time.
"We look at where the law should be clarified or where there is public harm that needs to be protected," she said.
As far as CPAs doing tax work, Holcomb said the UPL Committee has no authority since the federal government allows that activity.
"If there is a federal rule or regulation that says the activity is authorized then Florida cannot step in. . . and enjoin that activity as UPL," she said.
Chair Larry Metz, R-Groveland, said he is concerned that there is no clear definition of what the unlicensed practice of law is and the Legislature should make it clear what CAMs can do.
"That might help move this dialog forward if we assert substantive policy — in the role that we have to license and control community association managers — that might help alleviate, maybe, some of these issues," Metz said.
Rep. Dana Young, R-Tampa, asked: "Why is this something that the Bar, which most of us pay our dues to and allegedly represent us, why are they taking time and spending money to deal with this [CAMs] issue? There is no question in my mind that this rule, if that's what we are calling it, that the Bar is trying to get passed is going to significantly increase costs to homeowners in our state at a time when they cannot afford it."
"I feel like it is the fox guarding the hen house," Young said. "I feel like it is lawyers trying to drum up business. Why do I need a lawyer to tell me what a quorum is? Why do I need to hire a lawyer to fill out a form? This is just silly and it is embarrassing, and I would ask the Bar to please focus on things that matter and stop trying to drum up business at the cost to our homeowners."
Anderson said what is happening to CAMS today "can and will happen to other professions tomorrow."
"If lawyers want to provide the same service another profession is providing to the public, they can and should do what everyone else has to do — compete for it by doing it better and more cost effectively than anyone else," Anderson said.

Title: Evidence of relative sea level rise along the coasts of central Apulia (Italy) during the late Holocene via maritime archaeological indicators

Abstract: We investigated archaeological sites located along the coasts of central Apulia (Italy) to estimate the relative sea level changes which have occurred in this region since the Bronze Age, and test the most recent model of predicted sea level for this region. Surveys focused on six sites located on both the Adriatic and Ionian coasts of Apulia at the feet of the carbonatic Murge plateau, a tectonically stable zone as of the last 125 ka. The sites present the remains of ancient settlements, ranging from the Bronze Age (circa II millennium BC), to the Messapian and Magna Grecia Age (c. 2.5 ka BP), the Roman (c. 2 ka BP) and Middle Ages (c. 1 ka BP). The archaeological sea level markers investigated in these sites provided new insight into the history of the relative sea level changes which have occurred in this region during the last c. 3.3 ka BP. Data from 17 archaeological settlements from the above-mentioned sites, placed above or below the present sea level, were analyzed. The intervening relative sea level changes successive to their construction were estimated via the submergence of the functional elevations of significant architectural features related to the mean sea level at the time during which the settlements were functioning. The r.s.l. changes were estimated using detailed topographic surveys, tide analyses and/or hydrodynamic equations. Although not all archaeological markers allowed univocal interpretations, r.s.l. rise at about 2.25 ± 0.20 m as of the Bronze Age, and at least 0.90 ± 0.20 m in the last 2.0/1.5 ka was estimated. A comparison between the elevation of the marker and two different predicted sea level models seems to confirm a tectonic stability of the investigated region in the last c. 3.3 ka BP.

Bruce Lee: The Life of a Legend
Labels such as 'icon' or 'legend' are rarely attached to one individual to the degree that they are to Bruce Lee. He only made a handful of films, yet four and a half decades after his untimely death at the age of 32, the Little Dragon's influence on culture is as strong as ever.
Author Fiaz Rafiq
Named among Time magazine's 100 most influential people of the 20th century, Lee wasn't just an actor and martial artist, but a director, inventor, husband, father and philosopher. His martial art, jeet kune do, is still practised around the world, while UFC champions credit him with inspiring the growing sport of mixed martial arts. His films kick-started a global kung fu boom and retain the power to awe today, while his thoughts - collected in a series of books from Lee's own notes - still inspire.
Bruce Lee: The Life of a Legend is a unique oral biography that combines the memories of Lee's original students, close friends, co-stars and colleagues - those who knew him best - to provide a candid view on the action movie star adored by millions, capturing the essence of a complex man in a way no straightforward narrative ever could. Further, for the first time ever in print, legendary professional boxing, bodybuilding and MMA champions and personalities from the motion picture industry pay homage to Lee, giving a blend of unique perspectives on a man who changed the face of their respective sports.

The last day to file your 2018 tax return is April 15, 2019.
If you've procrastinated on completing your taxes for the year, don't push it off any longer. Here's why you should not wait until the last minute to start.
Let's say you filed your tax return, and the IRS owes you a refund, which usually occurs because you had excess tax withheld from your pay. You'd like to know when you can expect to receive that lump sum. Is there a way to find out?
We all know how important it is to save for retirement. If you've started contributing to a retirement plan, at work or on your own, the next thing you'll want to know is how to deal with it on your tax return.
I've had them do my taxes for the past few years and it's been a good experience. This year was very different. When I went in for my appointment I was blown off and told we'd have a phone conversation. I rolled with it but after a few different instances of trying to get a hold of them to get my information together, I almost gave up and was going to take my business elsewhere. I knew I had a delay, but once that was squared away it still took over three calls/emails/texts to get them to respond. And then after we finally get it done I get an invoice with a price that's nearly 40% higher than the past couple years. Bummed but can't give my business to a group that drags me along and then slaps me with a much larger bill. I would have rolled with the delays because they're good but I'm sure other accountants are just as good and I'm not willing to take that much of a back seat anymore. Good luck!
I was reffered by a friend to come here after so many years of doing h& r block. This place did not disappointed me. Awesome customer service and actually took a time to help me get my refund back. I will be receiving more than 3k back with filling joint without any dependents. This so far the most I ever received filling my tax after so many years. Eric is the best helps me out a lot and organized my taxes. I will be going back here again for sure..

EBay drop-off stores could be the next big thing.
EBay's popularity is spawning a new niche: brick-and-mortar stores that help people who are too busy or confused by eBay's system to sell their goods on the site. After all, selling on eBay requires time and effort. Sellers have to take digital photographs and write descriptions of the merchandise, arrange to get paid, package their goods, and bring the packages to a shipper.
In the past year, many companies-including AuctionDrop Inc., AuctionWagon Inc., Picture It Sold, QuikDrop Inc. and Snappy Auctions-have launched eBay drop-off stores to help with these hassles. Most of these are in California and focus on individuals, but plan to expand throughout the country and to the B2B market.
EBay drop-off stores are similar to traditional consignment shops in that they charge sellers a commission for selling an item. They don't charge upfront fees for their basic service, instead earning commissions based on an item's final sale price. Customers usually pay separate fees charged by eBay, ranging from 1.5 to 5.25 percent of the final price.
One of the most successful companies in the market is San Carlos, California-based AuctionDrop, which has opened five San Francisco Bay area stores since March 2003 and plans to open 15 more California locations and 20 East Coast stores this year. AuctionDrop has raised more than $6 million in VC financing, says CEO and co-founder Randy Adams. So far, the 75-employee company has processed more than 15,000 items and earned annual revenues of over $1 million, by charging a commission totaling 20 to 38 percent of the final price. The percentage drops as the selling price rises, and the company's customers pay eBay's seller fees.
The key to AuctionDrop's success is its hub system-all goods are shipped to the company's 30,000-square-foot processing location, where an automated conveyor system routes goods to specialists who determine the value of items and prepare them to be sold. The company plans to open regional hubs in 2004. "We apply the economies of scale and the process engineering that make it inexpensive to put things up on eBay," says Adams, 51.
Meanwhile, Los Angeles-based AuctionWagon, founded last year by Joshua MacAdam and Devin Bailey, both 24, was self-financed for less than $1 million and will not set up a processing hub. "Keeping overhead low is essential," says MacAdam. "By staying local, we're able to maintain low commission rates." AuctionWagon, which offers door-to-door pickup, takes a 20 percent commission off the final sale, with a $15 minimum commission. AuctionWagon's only store opened in November 2003. The 10-employee company projects sales of more than $1 million in 2004 and will have its second location in Los Angeles operational this quarter.
Anyone contemplating entering this business should be aware that eBay drop-off shops are complex, expensive to start and can be technologically challenging. "This is an operations-heavy business," says Rhonda Abrams, president of Palo Alto, California-based The Planning Shop, a publisher specializing in business planning. "You're taking physical possession of and handling many types of products. That's different from having a sandwich shop."
Those who nail the concept, however, could find themselves at the lucrative forefront of the next big thing. Launching independently isn't the only option, either: AuctionDrop, AuctionWagon and Snappy Auctions plan to offer franchises soon.

Structural imbalances in the public and external accounts, significant increase in external debt, which represents about 93% of GDP
An already anaemic growth rate that dropped due to COVID-19
The first cases of COVID-19 were reported on 2 March, leading to full lockdown on 22 March. Containment measures were extended until 4 May, when a first phase of easing, involving only those between 15 and 65 years of age, was initiated. Persons under 15 and over 65 were unrestricted on 18 May. As of 18 August, the number of confirmed cases had reached 2,314 with 54 deaths and 1,370 recoveries. Despite Tunisia's low infection rate, the already weak growth rate is expected to contract sharply in 2020, plunging the country into recession. Indeed, GDP declined by 21.6% in Q2 2020 year-on-year. Exports of goods and services, which accounted for 50% of GDP in 2019, recorded a 20.6% decline in value in H1 2020 year-on-year. The majority of sectors were affected by this decline in external demand. Agriculture, which accounts for 11% of Tunisian GDP and already in a bad position before the COVID-19 crisis because of a dry spring that affected production, saw its situation worsened by lockdown measures. Farmers are having difficulty obtaining fertilizers, which is causing a considerable production drop. This has led to a decline in exports, particularly of citrus fruits, dates and seafood products. The manufacturing sector, which represents 16% of GDP, is also contracting due to disruptions in supply chains and falling European demand, particularly for textiles and clothing. Despite the decline in imports of goods and services by around 24% in value terms in H1 2020 because of the contraction of domestic demand, the current account deficit continues to widen due to the larger fall in exports, as well as the abrupt halt of tourism. The direct contribution of tourism to GDP was 13.9% in 2019. This sector is at a standstill due to the closure of national borders for 14 weeks and lockdown measures. Tourism receipts fell by 47% in H1 2020 year-on-year. Furthermore, remittances from the Tunisian diaspora (4.9% of GDP in 2019), on which many families depend, are on a sharp decline - estimated at 17% - affecting the consumption of many households. The unemployment rate is increasing and could rise to 21.6% in 2020, compared to 15% in 2019.
Public deficit will widen further despite external aid
The public deficit is widening because of decreasing revenues and increasing expenditures. Tax revenues fell by 12% year-on-year in H1 2020. Disbursement expenditure, on the other hand, increased by 11.5% in H1 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. On 21 March, the government announced that it would inject nearly USD 695 million (2% of GDP) to support the economy and the most vulnerable households. This stimulus plan includes, for instance, the elimination of penalties for late payments to the State or the rescheduling of tax debts of companies that have recorded a decline of at least 30% in their activity. A quarter of this sum will be injected into a strategic fund designed to provide financial support to companies. Another quarter will be allocated to small businesses in the tourism, transport, crafts and culture sectors. USD 34.7 million should be earmarked to finance equipment for hospitals and public health institutions. On the social front, USD 52.1 million will help the poorest families and vulnerable people. Finally, USD 104.3 million will be used to support employees who have been laid off. Moreover, a fund to fight COVID-19 was created by the Ministry of Health, which, as of 6 May 2020, had collected nearly USD 72 million in donations. This fund is exclusively financed by private funding and is reserved for financing actions aimed at fighting pandemics. In April 2020, the IMF approved an emergency loan of USD 745 million under its rapid financing instrument. These funds are intended to finance part of the trade balance deficit, as well as the public deficit. In addition, Tunisia has received a large number of grants and credits, totaling USD 3.2 billion, from foreign partners such as the IBRD, the European Union, the African Development Bank, the United States and Italy. Nevertheless, public debt is expected to increase to 79% of GDP by the end of 2020, with the external share representing 75% of the total.
Intensification of political and social tensions
The Tunisian political scene remains tormented. On 15 July, the head of government Elyès Fakhfakh, a social-democrat, resigned at the request of President Kaïs Saïed, following accusations of a conflict of interest. Hichem Mechichi, a former interior minister, who is an independent and little known by the public, replaced him. Mechichi is due to form a new government by 26 August, which he wants to compose with only independents. This new government will have to be approved by the president, as well as by parliament, failing which new elections will be held within the next three months. The Tunisian parliament is heterogeneous, with the predominance of the Ennahdha party, a conservative Islamist party, holding 52 seats out of 217. The remaining seats are allocated to parties or independents with very different ideologies (populist, democratic, socialist, liberal or anti-Islamist parties). This heterogeneous composition may be a hindrance on the approval of the new government. On the social front, protest movements are on the rise, with 934 movements registered in June. The rise in the unemployment rate and the poverty rate is fueling these movements. Other demands, such as access to drinking water, employment, security issues, education and health, were also observed.

Two Passions stars have been let go. Richard Steinmetz, who joined the show in 2004, and Brandi Burkhardt, who first appeared earlier this year, are out.
The Passions cast will soon shrink by several members as the show phases out some of its characters and drops some of its contract players to recurring status. The move may come as a response to a mandate issued to the NBC soap that it dramatically pare its budget.
Richard Steinmetz (Martin Fitzgerald) has been dropped from his contract and placed on recurring status. While the official word is that the actor could appear again in the future, Steinmetz seems resigned to the fact that his days with Passions are done.
"I consider myself very fortunate to have worked with some of the best [actresses] in the business," Steinmetz said of co-stars Leigh Taylor-Young (Katherine Crane) and Eva Tamargo (Pilar Lopez-Fitzgerald).
A final airdate for Steinmetz was not made available.
Meanwhile, newcomer Brandi Burkhardt (Siren) has been let go. The actress, who joined the Passions cast on April 21, will exit later this month. The introduction of a mermaid to the supernatural-tilting soap was heralded as one of the most shocking plot lines in soap opera history. However, fans seemed to tire of the plot device and the writing team has decided to phase out the character.
Burkhardt last airs on September 25. The role of Siren will not be recast.
In other exit news, temporary Chris fill-in Marsh Mokhtari will leave Passions this month. Mokhtari was called in to sub for Adrian Wilson (Chris Boothe) when the actor was briefly hospitalized for an undisclosed ailment. Wilson returns to the show on September 21st.
RELATED STORYPassions is renewed for another year, but at a cost.

Navigate: Home → Movement → Fauvist → Matisse Henri [Link Partners] [Help] → Help support the e.Gallery!
Matisse's art has an astonishing force and lives by innate right in a paradise world into which Matisse draws all his viewers. He gravitated to the beautiful and produced some of the most powerful beauty ever painted. He was a man of anxious temperament, just as Picasso, who saw him as his only rival, was a man of peasant fears, well concealed. Both artists, in their own fashion, dealt with these disturbances through the sublimation of painting: Picasso destroyed his fear of women in his art, while Matisse coaxed his nervous tension into serenity. He spoke of his art as being like "a good armchair" — a ludicrously inept comparison for such a brilliant man — but his art was a respite, a reprieve, a comfort to him.
Matisse initially became famous as the "King of the Fauves", an inappropriate name for this gentlemanly intellectual: there was no wildness in him, though there was much passion. He is an awesomely controlled artist, and his spirit, his mind, always had the upper hand over the "beast" of Fauvism.


The Parish Council derives most of its income from the parish precept which is collected as part of the council tax paid by all householders to Selby District Council, you can read more details here.
The clerk is responsible for keeping the books in order, preparing a budget and drafting the accounts, but the councillors are responsible for checking those figures and approving the accounts.
That check is called an 'internal audit'. Subsequently the accounts are examined by an independent auditor.
The annual governance statement (see below) sets out the various elements of the audit and a summary of income and expenditure of the Parish Council.
