This IRM section describes the process for working Authorized IRS e-file Provider denial and sanction cases in Appeals. IRS e-file is a process by which tax returns are submitted to the IRS by way of data communications and processed electronically. Filing a tax return through IRS e-file can be accomplished by using an Electronic Return Originator (ERO). An ERO is the first point of contact for most taxpayers in filing a tax return and it is the Authorized IRS e-file Provider that originates the electronic submission of an income tax return to the IRS. Refer to IRM 3.42.10 , Authorized e-file Providers .
Publication 1345, Handbook for Authorized IRS e-file Providers of Individual Income Tax Returns .
Publication 3112, IRS e-file Application and Participation .
In addition to the above, there are updates to IRS e-file which are posted to the Electronic Filing System Bulletin Board (EFS Bulletin Board) and the IRS web site at http://www.irs.gov.
The Internal Revenue Service reviews each Firm, Organization, Principal, and Responsible Official on the application. Suitability is used by the IRS to determine if the Firm or individuals listed on the applications are "suitable" to participate in IRS e-file. A suitability check is performed on every applicant, Principal, and Responsible Officer. Each can be denied participation in IRS e-file for a variety of reasons. For a complete discussion on suitability, refer to IRM 3.42, Electronic Tax Administration, Publication 3112, IRS e-file Application and Participation, and Rev. Proc. 2007-40.
Once the applicant is accepted to participate in e-file, the Provider must adhere to specific requirements in order to continue participation in IRS e-file. The IRS monitors Authorized IRS e-file Providers for compliance with the Revenue Procedures and IRS e-file requirements.
Individuals incarcerated in prison are restricted from participation in IRS e-file while incarcerated.
Level One – violations of the rules governing IRS e-file that have little or no adverse impact on the quality of electronically filed returns or IRS e-file. The IRS may send a letter of reprimand for a Level One infraction. Refer to IRM 3.42.10.13.11.1.
Level Two- violations of the rules governing IRS e-file that have an adverse impact upon the quality of electronically filed returns or on IRS e-file. Depending on the infractions, the IRS may either restrict participation in IRS e-file or suspend the Provider, Principal, or Responsible Official from participation in IRS e-file for one year. Refer to IRM 3.42.10.13.11.2.
Level Three – violations of the rules governing IRS e-file that have a significant adverse impact on the quality of electronically filed returns or on IRS e-file. Depending on the infractions, the IRS may suspend the Provider, Principal, or Responsible Official from participation in IRS e-file for two years, or depending on the severity of the infraction, e.g., fraud or criminal conduct, could result in expulsion from participating in IRS e-file indefinitely. Refer to IRM 3.42.10.13.11.3 for examples of Level Three infractions.
Continuous Level Two or Level Three behavior, additional Level Two or Level Three infraction(s) after the IRS has brought the infraction(s) to the attention of the Provider, conviction of a felony crime, identity theft, or fraud may be reason(s) for expulsion.
Suspended Providers, Principals, and Responsible Officials may reapply to participate in IRS e-file after the suspension period ends, or sooner if they resolve the suitability issues.

Any Authorized IRS e-file Provider, Principal, or Responsible Official who has been advised of a proposed sanction has the right to an administrative review. If a Provider, Principal, or Responsible Official receives a letter proposing a sanction, they may mail a detailed written explanation with supporting documentation as to why the proposed sanction should be withdrawn within 30 calendar days of the date of the letter proposing the sanction. Upon receipt of the written response, the Internal Revenue Service will reconsider the proposed sanction and may either withdraw its proposed sanction or affirm it by issuing a recommended sanctioning letter depending on the severity of the infraction.

Sanctioning may be a written reprimand, suspension, or expulsion from IRS e-file, depending on the seriousness of the infraction. Sanctions may be appealed through the administrative review process to include an initial review from the office proposing the sanctions. Suspensions and expulsions may have a subsequent review by the Office of Appeals.
The Provider's written appeal must contain detailed reasons, with supporting documentation, showing why the recommended sanctioning should not be imposed.

Tastes like: Heaven and earth… fresh fruit and funky dirt.
Pairs with: BBQ, steak, pork with char, peppery dishes, wild rice and grilled vegetables.
Drink this: Now to 2018.
We've been drinking Pirramimma wines for years, reliant on the fact that the Australian wine label's Ontario agent, B&W Wines, has never steered us wrong. This is a good reason to get to know the people who import the wines you buy at the LCBO. Just ask a friendly staffer to tell you the name of the importer. Or check the back label, though it's not always mentioned. Anyway, Pirramimma is a family owned winery going back more than 100 years. The name is an aboriginal phrase that means "the moon and the stars." Romance aside, they make damn good wines, most of them big.
From old vines come intense wines, and this blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mataro (better known as Mourvedre) is a whopping big, black-ink bruiser brimming with black and red fruit (blackberry, blackcurrant, cherry, raspberry), florals (rose petals) and savoury (dried herbs, black olives, vine leaves) elements. It's got a touch of leather, coffee and earth too. With warming but not overbearing alcohol—a full 14.9%, but you could easily round it up to 15+%—this is a nice winter wine. It's not cloying or sweet, but it is rich, ripe and concentrated. Tannins are medium and a bit gritty, and if they were bigger, you might age this 10 years or more. But it's drinking well now, and should improve to 2018 or so. For 15 bucks and change, it's a very good wine. Fully and completely quaffable.


Meditation is more accessible than you might think. Sure, meditating for 20 minutes a day has some serious benefits, but you only need a few minutes to make a big difference. This 4-minute meditation is living, breathing proof. If you want to feel lighter, try it.
"I don't have time to meditate" or "My brain is too busy for meditation" or "Meditation won't work for serious issues like mine" are a few popular objections to the practice.
This 4-minute meditation is inspired by Rebekah Borucki, a busy yoga and fitness instructor, mom, and birth doula.
The key thing to remember with meditation is that it's okay to move forward even though you're stressed out. It's okay to have bad days. One negative, frustrating, or heartbreaking moment doesn't ruin everything.
Use this meditation to let go of control when anxiety starts creeping in. This is an outline for flipping your biggest fear over to a doable next step.
First, read each of the six questions that make up this practice. You can write the questions down (or print this post) and look over each question as you move through the meditation. When you get familiar with the process, take just 15 seconds to answer each question.
1. What's my biggest fear? What am I afraid of in this moment?
"Am I afraid of losing my job, my house catching on fire, not being able to pay my bills, not being accepted by someone, something else?"
Name the fear that's in the forefront of your mind — just one. Naming the fear starts to reduce the anxiety around it. Write it down or just say it out loud. It allows you to start unpacking.
2. What aspect of this fear is in my control?
"What can I control? Can I call a friend, my therapist, go to a consignment shop and sell some items, do more research, something else?"
3. What's out of my control?
"I can't control the weather, the storm that's coming, how other people think and view the world, what's already happened… I need to let that go because it's out of my control. It's not mine to control."
This is where most of the fear lies. You'll have to do some tough-loving on yourself. Stay in the moment, as uncomfortable as it may be. Saying it out loud is a wake-up call.
4. Can I make peace with the worst-case scenario?
This is a "yes" or "no" question. Preferably, say yes. You don't have to be happy with your answer, but a "yes" means that you can be okay with it.
5. Can I express gratitude for three things in this moment?
Take one minute to think and/or write down three things you're thankful for. Look around you and take note of what you do enjoy or like about yourself, someone else, your surroundings, or life in general.
6. Can I affirm something positive in relation to my fear?
Turn your fear into a prayer or statement that feels good, something that you want to happen or experience.
Acknowledge that you can move forward with tiny steps, and you can change the course of your life by changing your attitude toward the situation.
Meditation is honoring the space between things. The space between thoughts, events, breaths.
Get specific about what's bothering you. Once you put your finger on the source of your anxiety, you create space around it, and you have freedom to see a new way.
Be still and concentrate on one thing at a time. One question and one answer at a time.
Sometimes, it's just about saying the thing and getting it out. If you give yourself time (four minutes?) to sit down, or simply stay present in the moment, and bring it out into the open, results can come faster than you thought they would.
Honor that moment of space you give yourself because it's the space where you come home to your power.
When could you really use this meditation?
Tell me in the comments. I read every single one, and I'd love to know!

Střemhlavý bombardér byl typ bombardovacího letounu, používaného mezi světovými válkami a na počátku druhé světové války, který na svůj cíl nalétával střemhlavým letem (kolmo, nebo pod velmi ostrým úhlem k zemi). Takový manévr zajišťoval větší pravděpodobnost zásahu pumy a díky vyšší rychlosti přiblížení i snižoval nebezpečí zásahu protiletadlovou palbou. Proto se střemhlavé bombardéry používaly proti relativně malým nebo pohybujícím se cílům jako jsou např. mosty, bunkry, budovy, tanky nebo lodě. I když byly střemhlavé bombardéry účinné proti pozemním jednotkám, potřebovaly doprovod stíhaček, jelikož v leteckých soubojích se stíhacími letouny nepřítele postrádaly rychlost a obratnost a představovaly relativně snadný cíl k sestřelení.

Vznik střemhlavých bombardérů

Taktika střemhlavého bombardování byla poprvé použita za První světové války, avšak konstrukce tehdejších letadel špatně snášela akceleraci při střemhlavém letu a zejména přetížení při jeho vybírání po odhození pumy, takže se jednalo o velmi riskantní manévr.

Ve 20. letech se pak střemhlavé bombardování (angl. dive bombing) stalo doslova taktickou doktrínou amerického námořního letectva, které vidělo jeho nesporné výhody zejména při útoku na pohybující se nepřátelské lodě. Prvním specializovaným střemhlavým bombardérem se stal letoun F8C Falcon, známý pod přezdívkou "Helldiver". Stejnou přezdívku měl také pozdější střemhlavý bombardér námořnictva SB2C. Pro tyto specializované letouny byly charakteristické zejména zesílená konstrukce křídel a aerodynamické brzdy pro snadnější vybrání střemhlavého letu. Právě v této fázi letu byly tyto letouny nejpomalejší a nejzranitelnější, proto se u řady konstrukcí objevilo také zesílené pancéřování.

Taktiku střemhlavého bombardování pak ve 30. letech od Američanů převzala i letectva jiných států, především Japonsko a Německo, které vytvořily letadla vlastních konstrukcí.

Střemhlavé bombardéry za 2. světové války
Nejznámějším střemhlavým bombardérem se stal německý Junkers Ju 87 "Stuka" (zkratka německého Sturzkampfflugzeug, doslova: střemhlavý bojový letoun), který nejen svým řevem (letoun byl vybaven náporovými sirénami, které způsobovaly mezi bombardovanými paniku ) naháněla hrůzu ve Španělsku, Polsku a ve Francii. Štuky se v rámci taktiky Blitzkriegu staly ideálním doplňkem rychle postupujících obrněných formací, kterým poskytovaly lepší palebnou podporu, než pomalé dělostřelectvo. V roce 1940, v bitvě o Británii se však už robustní, ale relativně pomalé a nedostatečně vyzbrojené Stuky neprosadily a z role prvoliniového bitevního letounu byly staženy. Své uplatnění však našly během operace Barbarossa, kde v součinnosti s tankovými skupinami umožnily německým pozemním jednotkám postup až k branám Moskvy. Během stalingradské bitvy uskutečnily německé střemhlavé bombardéry nad městem za tři měsíce až přes 200 bojových vzletů. Jedním z nich byl Hans-Ulrich Rudel, jenž se stal nejznámějším bombardovacím esem Luftwaffe.

Přestože taktika střemhlavého bombardování byla používána po celé období druhé světové války a i dlouho po ní (v určitém ohledu dodnes), specializované střemhlavé bombardovací letouny se přestaly vyrábět. Jednak kvůli pokroku techniky (zejména elektronice) a zvyšující se přesnosti bombardování, takže jiné typy bombardovacích letounů byly schopné zasáhnout i pohyblivý cíl, aniž by se k němu musely přiblížit na krátkou vzdálenost. Dále vzrostl výkon stíhacích letadel, které mohly nést i těžší bomby a byly schopné převzít roli střemhlavého bombardéru.

Volleyball secures No. 9 seed in NCAA Tournament
It was a victorious end to the regular season as No. 15 Illinois shut out Wisconsin and Northwestern with 3-0 triumphs this weekend.
The two wins brought the Illini's winning streak to five as they prepare for the NCAA Tournament.
The Illini finished the regular season in third place in the Big Ten, behind undefeated No. 1 Penn State and No. 12 Minnesota, earning them the ninth seed in the NCAA Tournament's field of 64 which was announced Sunday night.
The Illini are encouraged by their showing against conference foes as Friday's first-round match against Milwaukee-Wisconsin at Huff Hall approaches.
"The team played very consistently and seemed to get a little more fuel in their fire game by game," head coach Don Hardin said. "They're just playing better and better, especially our outside hitting."
Junior Kylie McCulley had a career night with a hitting percentage of 0.542 and 16 kills against Northwestern on Saturday.
"It was a great feeling, it's the end of the Big Ten season, we're on the road," McCulley said. "We just came out, played our style of ball, had fun and came out with two wins."
Also turning in an outstanding performance for Illinois was sophomore Laura DeBruler, who once again filled up the stat sheet as she tore apart both Wisconsin and Northwestern, recording 16 and 15 kills in each game, respectively.
"This week we worked really hard in practice. I know the blockers, like the middles, were working really hard on their attacking," DeBruler said. "Kylie and I, we were trying to get better at some different shots and stuff."
While DeBruler is known for her fantastic attacking play for the Orange and Blue, she has improved her defensive game, adding to her potency for the Illini.
"This weekend I was really focusing on getting more blocks. I think I definitely improved on that … getting more touches and just being a bigger threat up in the front row," DeBruler said. "I think it kind of showed, so that was really good."
With two stellar performances to wrap up the team's regular season, the Illini now turn to the NCAA Tournament where the home court advantage is exactly what the Illini were hoping for.
"They were just excited to play in Huff again, and they were excited about a No. 9 seed," Hardin said.
"We were ranked lower all year in the AVCA poll, and we knew our RPI was really, really high, so we didn't know where we would end up."
The bad news is that if they win their first three matches, they'll come up against undefeated Penn State, who has already beat the Illini 3-0 twice this year.
But Hardin insists his team isn't focused on that adversary just yet. Right now, the focus is on the opportunity to play at Huff Hall in front of their loyal fans.
"It's huge, especially if we can get students out to support us like they did earlier in the year," Hardin said.
"We got a great year and it's a fun team to watch and if we got the pride, the Illini pride, and a lot of students come out to that game, that'll just be an electric atmosphere."

Sandown Sale - second consultation, Community Councils write joint letter to Councillors and send copies to MSPs: "A further round of consultation is unacceptable, manipulative and intellectually dishonest"
All those serious students of Sandown Common Good matters may wish to make a cuppa or pour a dram and have a browse of a letter from the town's two Community Councils that has appeared in the public domain. Copies have been sent to all the area's MSPs too:
Nairn West and Suburban Community Council
Dear Councillor and Trustee of Nairn Common Good
NAIRN COMMON GOOD: CONSULTATION ON DISPOSAL OF SANDOWN LANDS
At our regular meeting on 27 September, the Community Council discussed the latest position regarding consultation about possible disposal of the Sandown Lands.
It is widely accepted that decisions on the management and use of the Sandown lands, the largest and most valuable asset within Nairn's Common Good, are hugely important for the town and the community. As a Community Council we are acutely aware of the significance of the decisions being made. For that reason we have reflected very fully on the present situation and the proposals that are now being put forward.
We are firmly convinced that a further, or "additional" consultation exercise is inappropriate, unjustified and unacceptable, especially if it is to be steered, managed and directed as proposed.
This letter sets out the basis for our carefully-considered view.
1) The consultation already conducted was fair, and conclusive
It is on record that both Community Councils expressed concern about the holding of such an important consultation at a time last winter when the community and the whole country were under Covid-related restrictions, public meetings were prohibited and normal social contact not possible. However when the Council decided nevertheless to go ahead, we did our utmost to ensure that the information was disseminated as widely as possible; and we welcomed the decision to agree our requests to extend the period for responses.
The consultation conducted over 15 weeks from Nov 2020 to Feb 2021, in line with the requirements of the Community Empowerment Act (CEA), was a well-publicised, widely-reported and extensively-discussed exercise. It was publicly announced and promoted and given significant coverage in the press, on websites and in social media. Briefing material was circulated and posted online. The subject was vigorously debated at online community council meetings and in other forums. So there was ample, full and fair opportunity for all sectors of the community and all local residents to reflect and respond.
The response (for a survey-exercise of this kind) was substantial. The outcome – set out in Council report NC/12/21 – was unequivocal. 86% (85 out of 96 respondents) were opposed to disposal, with 10 making comments for and against, and just 3 in support. Equally relevant, in reviewing the report at their 23 June meeting, Councillors accepted the validity of the exercise:
"….. Members highlighted that this was a very comprehensive consultation with a good extension of time to it that allowed as many people to participate in it as possible."
In our view, this is a conclusive result. It has delivered a clear verdict (not, for example, a close-run 51/49% split which might justify a re-run). It has been endorsed by Councillors as allowing and reflecting comprehensive participation.
2) A further round of consultation is unacceptable, manipulative and intellectually dishonest
Against that background, the subsequent proposal to conduct a second round of consultations is not only unjustified: it implies – contrary to the evidence and Members' own views – that the exercise already conducted was somehow unsatisfactory. More seriously, it gives rise to concerns that the proposal is a cynical exercise motivated by a desire to secure a different verdict.
The arrangements now proposed for a further round of consultation are fundamentally undemocratic. The essence of a consultation is that there should be a level playing field: an open opportunity for all, on the same basis, without fear or favour, and without any selective prompting, to offer their views freely. This was indeed the approach last year, and it produced a clear outcome.
The approach as now outlined – in report NC/15/21 and in further official briefing at the recent Community Planning Partnership (NNCPP) meeting – is clearly intended to manipulate the process in particular ways. It represents a deliberate strategy to mobilise and encourage comment for the proposed disposal plan by prompting and soliciting feedback from selected and targeted groups who have thus far shown neither knowledge nor interest. This is selective and discriminatory. It is profoundly disrespectful of all those – including the Community Councils – who devoted thought and time to understanding the issues engaging with constituents, and responding to the consultation in December 2020. To assert that people "misunderstood" is a patronising insult.
As a matter of basic principle, it cannot be right to target or canvass for views on a matter of community-wide importance from particular groups on the basis of social or economic status, personal circumstance or indeed any other such criteria. The rationale for choosing whose views to seek, and how, is unclear. The idea (in Council report NC/15/21) that "...trusted individuals…" might be expected to "… assist with the completion of responses…" is quite extraordinary. And it is particularly inappropriate to identify specific client groups of the Council (such as tenant associations) or of the CAB, or schools and nurseries (!) as having a privileged or preferential right to comment.
Scrutiny of this notion reveals how absurd it is. It could reasonably be asked why other groups or categories of local residents should not be similarly targeted – whether care-home residents, commuters, retirees and pensioners, schoolchildren, shift workers, churchgoers, social security claimants, university students, second-home owners, Gaelic speakers or any other arbitrarily-chosen sector of the local community!
The only credible alternative to an open, free and fair consultation such as that which has already taken place, is to arrange a mandatory, compulsory, referendum vote in which all residents irrespective of social or economic status and personal circumstance, are obliged to respond. This has indeed already been mentioned by one Councillor. It is however unrealistic in both political and practical terms. It would not only be a major logistical and administrative exercise, and expensive in time and resources; it would also be at odds with the principle of democratic expression and freedom of choice which underpins our political system and is embodied in the Community Empowerment Act.
3) the NNCPP has no remit on Common Good matters
The suggestion that somehow the NNCPP should provide the mechanism for conducting or advising on this further extended and selective process – by means of a 'reference group' whose membership and terms of reference are totally undefined – is entirely inappropriate.
The NNCPP has no remit to manage, intervene in, or administer any matters relating to Common Good. It is not qualified to do so. It is not an elected body. Its members are appointed or ex officio representatives – mainly of service-delivery public agencies and funding bodies. Most of its members are not residents of the burgh of Nairn. The idea that a 'reference group' involving people from outside the burgh should manage, direct or "massage" the process of local consultation about Sandown or any other Common Good matter is a nonsense.
4) the invocation of the 2013 development brief is misleading
The argument that people should be consulted or asked to respond on the basis of the 2013 development brief for Sandown is misleading and dishonest. The question that was – and is – being posed in the consultation is only on the principle of disposal of the land. Nothing further. The consultation does not set out (and cannot ensure) specific uses. Nor does it present options for comment on how the land might at some point be developed or by whom.
The 2013 development brief is indeed on the table. But it is out-of-date. Moreover it has no legal or binding force. It is not a "manifesto" or a policy document. It is no more than guidance for potential developers, and is susceptible to change. So to imply that the consultation is seeking consent for what is outlined in that development brief is wrong. It is only one illustration of development potential. To use that document to incentivise people or promote a specific response is political arm-twisting. If the land is disposed of, there is no assurance – and certainly no guarantee – that whatever is indicated in any development brief will in the event be realised.
It would perhaps be reasonable – and desirable – to have a wide-ranging public debate about how the Sandown Lands might best be used, managed and developed for the benefit of the people of Nairn. But this has not happened. And it is not what the current consultation is about.
The consultation seeks an absolute and simple "Yes or No" answer to the core question as to whether this "inalienable" land should be disposed-of. It seeks to grant the Council absolute power and discretion to apply to the Sheriff Court to dispose of the land as and when they see fit at some unspecified time in the future and at whatever price and for whatever purposes they choose. Effectively it is giving consent to the Council's appropriation of the asset. It amounts to granting Councillors a 'blank cheque' . That is unacceptable.
If indeed a further consultation were to be launched, and if the aim is to promote debate and collate views on the eventual use of the land rather than just its disposal [by sale], then this would have to be a new and separate exercise. It could include – but should not be limited to – the elements indicated in the 2013 development brief. If change of use is envisaged, court consent would be required. But any such exercise should as a very minimum set out, objectively and dispassionately, a full range of possible options – each one supported by a carefully worked-out business case.
These could range from retention as a capital asset, to long-term lease to generate an income stream (as with the Inverness CG land at the Longman Estate), to partial and phased disposal for specified community facilities, to creation of a recreational area, a wetland reserve, a green corridor, a range of housing units, or indeed any other possibilities that the local community might regard as beneficial. But this is an entirely different proposition which would have to be tackled separately.
5) ConclusionOur view is clear: the consultation required by the CEA has been carried out. A clear outcome has been delivered. There is no case for a "re-run" or a second round, or further canvassing of particular sectors or categories of residents on a selective or arbitrary basis. We therefore oppose any such proposal.
There is one more point which emerges from this and previous discussions:
6) The need for a proper, local, representative, Nairn CG management structure
This entire saga has underlined the case, which we have long argued, for a properly representative, inclusive, local Common Good management group or committee – consisting of elected representatives from community bodies within the burgh of Nairn. It should have a formally-defined responsibility to comment, advise and make recommendations on all aspects of the management and administration of Nairn's Common Good. It would not be an "economic" entity. Nor is it about delivery of services. So the idea that the NNCPP, or some kind of ill-defined or self-appointed "reference group" within it might fulfil such a role is misguided.
There are models and examples of best practice elsewhere in Scotland. We therefore also urge early action aimed at establishing such a group.
This letter is copied to relevant Council officials; to the Chair of the NNCPP; and to our MSPs. It will be published on our website as a record of action decided at our 27 September meeting, and so will be available to the press and the wider public.

Q: How to set defaultWorkerLogLevel while invoking dataflow job from template? I know we can configure worker log levels using --defaultWorkerLogLevel=level option through command line while running dataflow job directly from local or while creating template.
But I want to know how to use this option while invoking dataflow job from previously built templates where we didn't use this option while building it.

A: You should be able to simply set that parameter when invoking the job from a previously built template (either with CLI or API) - you don't have to recompile and stage the template again.
Format of parameters when using gcloud CLI is described well here Executing a Dataflow job with multiple inputs/outputs using gcloud cli
If you're using the API it depends on the SDK you have chosen - for example, Terraform makes it easy https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/google/latest/docs/resources/dataflow_job#parameters

In an effort to attract settlers to the region and to provide protection from Indian raids, Gen. Edward H. Tarrant of the Republic of Texas Militia authorized Jonathan Bird to establish a settlement and military post in the area. Bird's Fort, built near a crescent-shaped lake one mile east in 1841, was the first attempt at Anglo-American colonization in present Tarrant County. The settlers, from the Red River area, suffered from hunger and Indian problems and soon returned home or joined other settlements. In August 1843, troops of the Jacob Snively expedition disbanded at the abandoned fort, which consisted of a few log structures. Organized to capture Mexican gold wagons on the Santa Fe Trail in retaliation for raids of San Antonio, the outfit had been disarmed by United States forces.


I have been deep into Latex for the last little while, pounding out my thesis. It is a long process that involves a lot of editing, rearranging, and tweaking. Every time I revise another paragraph, I give thanks that I am using fast and powerful BBEdit, and not something slow and cumbersome like Word. But something has been missing.
A couple weeks ago, I read a post by Brandon Rhodes titled "One sentence per line". He quotes the following advice from "UNIX for beginners" [PDF] by Brian Kernighan. Kerninghan is the K in AWK, so pay attention.
Start each sentence on a new line. Make lines short, and break lines at natural places, such as after commas and semicolons, rather than randomly. Since most people change documents by rewriting phrases and adding, deleting and rearranging sentences, these precautions simplify any editing you have to do later.
One common feature of Latex, HTML, Markdown, and many other markup languages is that they ignore single line feeds in the document source. Only my collaborators and I will be reading the source, so I can format it however I want. I might as well make life easy on myself.
If line feeds do not affect the final document, when should I end a line?
On the other hand, I could wrap text using hard returns. Most editors will do this for me, so I'm not actually pressing return at the end of each line. This will result in shorter lines, which will make the text easier to read from the command line. In Latex I will get more precise error location, since Latex reports errors by the line on which they occur.
One disadvantage of hard wrapping is that it makes editing awkward. If I add one word to one line, I will end up pushing a single word down to the next line. Then my obsessiveness requires me to "reflow" the paragraph, removing line breaks and inserting new ones so that the lines are the same length. Even though most text editors automate the reflow process, making changes becomes quite tedious—edit, reflow, edit, reflow, edit, reflow, etc. Furthermore, each edit results in many lines changing, so comparing two documents is not much easier than when I soft wrap. Even worse, reflowing paragraphs often removes line breaks that I put in on purpose.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 .
This is called the Pythagorean theorem.
The reflowed text is still correct, and will produce the same output, but is much harder to read. This kind of thing is especially a problem in a Latex math document, where I am often switching back and forth between prose and structured mathematical formulas.
Kerninghan's suggestion to end lines at natural breaks solves many of these issues. Documents will have short lines, which is helpful for when I need to work in a terminal or send parts of a document by email. Edits will generally change a small number of lines, which makes the diff tools work.
I get the added benefit of being able to rearrange sentences and phrases much more easily. For complicated technical statements, I can use newlines and even indentation to make the source easier to parse.
The disadvantage is that I now have to push the return key at the end of every line. For a simple document that won't go through many revisions, this may not be worth it. But Kerninghan also points out that most documents require more revisions than we initially expect. For a dissertation, and probably any academic paper, it is worth the extra effort.
Even after a few days of ending my lines manually at natural breaks, I often find myself getting close to the "right margin". Usually, there is a perfectly placed comma a few words back where I should have ended the line.
I made an AppleScript for BBEdit called "New line after punctuation" that looks for the last punctuation mark on the line and inserts a hard return immediately after it. I have it assigned to the keyboard shortcut Control+Return.
Update: I have made some changes the the AppleScript, explained in this post. The new script is posted here.

Congressman Aderholt Visits Kith Kitchens Tuesday
Tyler Knight, left, national sales manager of Kith Kitchens, takes U.S. Congressman Robert Aderholt and Mayor Ken Sunseri on a tour of the facilities Tuesday, Sept. 18.
HALEYVILLE - U.S. Congressman Robert Aderholt joined Haleyville Mayor Ken Sunseri and officials with Kith Kitchens at the North Industrial Park Tuesday, Sept. 18, to see first hand the product of federal funding the corporation has received through the years as part of the Smart Growth America program.
Congressman Aderholt joined Mayor Sunseri and Kith President/CEO Bo Knight to discuss the funding, with Congressman Aderholt, His Represetative Paul Housel and Mayor Suneri led on a tour of the facilities by Tyler Knight, national sales manager.
Smart Growth America formed a program known as First and Main which consists of mayors, with a request made to bring their congressional delegation to an area where federal funding was received, so the importance of federal funding, in order to do local projects, could be seen first hand.
"I think this is a real progress story," Mayor Sunseri pointed out. "And (Aderholt) will enjoy the fact of seeing what federal funding has done to assist our community and this industry."
Knight said the federal funds have gone toward a "huge undertaking" of providing a new access road as well as providing for better erosion and drainage control. The need was to be able to get in and out of the facility with a high volume of traffic, often heavy trucks.
The corporation has benefitted from a $522,000 Economic Development Agency grant in 2009, when they also received a $250,000 grant through the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs, which receives their funds from the federal government.
The corporation also benefitted from a $2 million ADECA loan in 2011, which was paid in full in 2013.
Kith Kitchens has a total of 440,000 square feet in seven facilities employing around 600 people, Knight indicated.

This week you can take a look at shrubs during your outdoor time. Talk about how shrubs and trees are different. If you have a mountain laurel to observe, take a close look at the flowers, leaves, and limbs. Choose another shrub if you don't have a mountain laurel to observe up close.
The lesson in the Handbook of Nature Study details many observations you can make to learn more about the mountain laurel. These include the shape of the leaf, the color of the flowers, the bud, and the pollen dispersal method. Use these to guide your family's study of the mountain laurel.
After your observations, create a nature journal entry that includes a sketch with color.
Advanced Study: Use this link to learn to distinguish between mountain laurel and the rhododendron. There is an advanced notebook page in the ebook to record your information.
Next week we start the summer series from the new ebook, Summer Nature Study Continues.
Barb, this is so interesting because in Texas, our Mountain Laurels are purple flowering clusters. They smell like grape Kool-aid when blooming. Now that we are in Japan, I don't believe I have seen any Mountain Laurels.
Interesting…we don't have them here in California so I am going to do a rhododendron study instead.
And we don't have rhododendrons in Texas, but they have them here in Japan.

March: The month that brings us National Frozen Foods Day, National Learn About Butterflies Day, and even…wait for it…Melba toast and Bunsen Burner Days brings us a random holiday I think most of us can agree is pretty great: National Potato Chip day on Thursday, March 14th. How are you planning to celebrate?
According to Statista, approximately 34.84 million Americans consumed MORE than 16 bags of potato chips in one year. We apparently have an adulation for these savory snacks.
As time has gone on, chips have evolved, and Americans have gravitated to the more gourmet. We can always count on brands like Zapp's and their "Voo Doo Gumbo" or "Spicy Cajun Crawtators" to challenge our potato chip bucket list of the truly adventurous culinary pursuits. You can also be on alert in the fall when Frito-Lays comes out with new flavors for the public to vote on. The losers are just sold out or tossed, so that makes them hard to come by in the spring. This previous year, they debuted Cajun Spice, Chili con Queso, Chesapeake Crab Bay Spice, Deep Dish Pizza, Fried Pickles with Ranch, New England Lobster Roll, Pimento Cheese, and Sweet Thai Chili.
We still wanted to test the more gourmet and courageous. We hit up Wal-Mart and Aldi. This time of year, Aldi picks up the slack left by Lays and their discontinued flavors with some unique flavors sold in their seasonal section this time of year (don't look in the chip section). Likewise, Kroger is also a good source for unique flavors in their store brand.
Mozzarella 'n marinara by Ruffles (Wal-Mart): A very interesting take on the taste of pizza goldfish. I see where they were going with the marinara, but unfortunately the mozzarella wasn't there. Honestly this chip wasn't a very delicate chip, but it was a nice spin on a classic favorite. It had a nice hint of pizza, which I wasn't mad at, based upon my recent disliking of pizza.
Mr. Jeremy Jones, Honors Accelerated 9th Grade math teacher was pulled in to taste test with us. For this chip, he commented that these chips made him want mozzarella sticks! "Tastes like what's it supposed to taste like."
Clancy's Sweet Maui Onion Kettle Cooked Chips (Aldi):
It is a sweet chip, and that's it. I was expecting a very oniony chip with a subtle hint of sweetness. The chip overall wasn't bad, but I feel like I was expecting more from the brand and the chip itself. Pick a dominate flavor, people! I honestly don't know if I love or hate this. It's honestly just a Funyun donut.
"Where's the Maui?" said Mr. Jones.
Ruffles Jalapeno Ranch (Wal-Mart):
I thought it was going to be spicy giving that it was jalapeno-flavored, but it wasn't, which is making me guess either it's not spicy at all (a disappointment) or I have built an immunity to this sort of stuff. I found them very good and after eating a lot of them, they are now getting a little spicy. It tastes like sour cream and onion if it had a little redhead step-brother. Definitely suggest for national potato chip day.
Mr. Jones said with subtle disappointment: "I was really expecting more jalapeno."
Clancy's Buffalo Blue Cheese Kettle Krinkle Cut (Aldi). This one was a little spicier than the Jalapeno Ranch; however, the Jalapeno ranch took numerous chips to make my mouth to feel something while the Buffalo Blue Cheese smacks you with its spiciness. Ms. Teasley, 9th Lit and Newspaper club teacher called it a "mean chip" and I do agree with it. It's aggressive in its flavor—I don't know if it's the buffalo sauce or the blue cheese. If you like those flavors, you will likely enjoy it. It does make me cough with each swallow, so maybe it's more exciting than an ordinary chip.
Mr. Jones ate several, and said, "I really like it, but it's got a chemical taste."
Specially Selected Balsamic Vinegar & Rosemary Kettle Chips (Aldi):
Aldi's "Specially Selected" label is an internationally award-winning private label offering more gourmet products from around the world. In other words, we're expecting it to be fancier. These chips taste like pure vinegar. Like you just somehow made vinegar into a solid, this is what it tastes like. That being said, it has an oddly satisfying aftertaste. Some of us prefer this complexly sour flavor. Even if I don't want the before taste of vinegar, I want to eat more for the aftertaste. My taste buds are very conflicted. IT IS a pretentious-sounding name as authentic balsamic vinegar can run up to $400 a bottle according to Huffington Post. Add that to the garden fresh sound of rosemary–the paradox of the fried potato–and you think you're set to impress your plain Jane Lays friends, though it just cost you $1.85/bag.
"I like those best" said Mr. Jones.
Clancy's Horseradish Cheddar:
I want to curse whoever made this terrible chip. This chip caused me to go through the five stages of grief in .5 seconds. If I was on an island with only Horseradish Cheddar chips, I would starve to death. Even five minutes later, I'm still traumatized by this experience. I had to shove a mouth full of gummy bears just to get rid of the taste. Please avoid unless you have an infatuation for horseradish or a fan of mean masochism. Also, as evident from the picture, I think the Photoshop job done on the color of these chips is incredibly misleading.
Mr. Jones said while popping the third chip in his mouth "If they maybe had more cheddar… maybe.. I dunno…" seemingly unimpressed. I was shocked he didn't faint.
Specially Selected Pancetta & Parmesan (Aldi):
Pancetta, the dried bacon-ham hybrid, can run between $9-19+ a pound, so it joins the balsamic chip in fancy flavors for a fraction of the price. As a chip flavor, it was an awful experience, but the room had mixed reviews. It reminds me of expired bacon bits, and not in a good way. It doesn't taste like a normal flavor of chip, and it honestly is revolting to me. Others in the group are very supportive of these, but, not me, they are "just okay."
"Sharp parmesan? Where?" asked Mr. Jones, clearly disappointed.
We challenge you to eat chips in honor of Thursday's holiday, no matter if you get adventurous or don't. Let us know. Is there a unique flavor you enjoy? Please let us know!

Ain't that just ducky!!! Now maybe we can see streets which are little more that cow trails paved. Maybe we can see sewer systems constructed. Maybe we can see signal lights at dangerous intersections. Maybe potable water systems will be installed. Maybe the money will disappear into unknown pockets.........maybe, maybe, maybe!!!!
And nothing to the bull?

Solomon Goldman (August 18, 1893 - March 14, 1953) was an American Conservative rabbi. A noted orator, community leader and scholar, he was especially known for helping to popularize the cause of Zionism in the United States.

Early life and education
Born to Jeanette () and Abraham Abba Goldman on August 18, 1893 in Kozin, Volhynia. He later moved with his parents to New York. He studied at the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary in New York before acquiring his Bachelor of Arts at New York University in 1917.

Goldman was ordained as a Rabbi from the Jewish Theological Seminary in 1918 (where he earned doctorates in Hebrew literature and literature in 1936 and 1946, respectively). Goldman also pursued graduate studies at Columbia University and the University of Chicago. In 1947, Goldman earned a Doctor of Divinity degree from the Jewish Institute of Religion.

Rabbinical career

As he completed his studies at Jewish Theological Seminary, Goldman served as the rabbi of B'nai Israel Congregation in Brooklyn, New York from 1917 until 1918. From 1919 until 1922, Goldman worked as the rabbi of B'nai Jeshurun Congregation in Cleveland, Ohio (a synagogue which Goldman is credited for "making [...] Conservative"), before switching to the Jewish Center, also of Cleveland, where he stayed until 1929.

While in Cleveland, Goldman worked with Abraham Hayyim Friedland in creating Hebrew educational materials/ In 1929, Goldman left for Anshe Emet Synagogue in Chicago, Illinois, the pulpit over which he presided until the end of his rabbinic career, coinciding with his passing.

As of 1941, Goldman—writing to Rabbi Morris A. Skop—indicated that the community regularly permitted the playing of music on an organ during Simchat Torah and Confirmation services, and, in later years, Goldman permitted the organ to be played on all Shabbat and Yom Tov services. Goldman's further Jewish legal liberalism may be evident in his recalling in 1943 to Rabbi David Goldstein of Omaha, Nebraska that "Jewish services... are not characterized by a proper devotional mood... largely due to their length" and, in consonance with an approach inspired by Jacob Mann, incorporated a triennial cycle in Anshe Emet. Indeed, in writing to Rabbi Albert I. Gordon of Minneapolis, Minnesota, Goldman referenced (again in 1943) that Anshe Emet was accustomed to reading 7 aliyyot of 3 verses each, in addition to an abbreviated haftarah, on a regular Shabbat.

Goldman is also recalled as being "the first Conservative rabbi [to] call women up to recite Torah blessings" for aliyyot. At Goldman's funeral, Israel H. Levinthal of Brooklyn, NY eulogized.

Other work

Goldman assumed the presidency of the Zionist Organization of America for some time and was a delegate to the World Zionist Congress in 1937, becoming vice president in 1939. In 1937, Goldman traveled to South Africa to conduct a campaign for the Jewish National Fund; four years later, in 1941, Goldman traveled around South America as part of a goodwill tour.

A scholar—and a patron of scholarship and the written word, having for some time given over $8000 annually to Jewish scholars and authors—Goldman, a recipient of the Phi Beta Delta Award in 1938 and a Ginzberg Citation in 1943, served as a joint editor of the Brooklyn Jewish Forum in 1909 and 1910 and as an associate editor of the Journal of Religious Education. Goldman habitually invited Hebrew and Yiddish poets to speak on Friday evenings at Anshe Emet in Chicago to help his community gain familiarity with these artists.

Goldman was a member of the Hillel Foundation Commission, the United Palestine Appeal (which he served as honorary vice-chairman), the Rabbinical Assembly, the National Hebrew Association (of which he was the honorary president), the American Academy of Political and Social Science, the American Oriental Society, the Linguistic Society of America and Societas Spinoza. Goldman authored A Rabbi Takes Stock (1931), The Jew and the Universe (1936), The Golden Chain (1937), Crisis and Decision (1937), Prayers and Readings (1938), Undefeated (1940), The Words of Justice Brandeis (1953) and The Ten Commandments (1956). Goldman contributed to Reflex, the Menorah Journal, New Palestine, the Journal of Religious Education, the Seven Arts Syndicate, Hadaor, Gilyonot (Palestine), and Hetekuphah.

Goldman wrote letters in Hebrew, Yiddish, German and English. Goldman's many recorded correspondences—preserved in the American Jewish Archives, with thanks to his daughter Naomi's contributing of the collection in 1984—include Rabbi David Aronson and other Jewish leaders.

Meyer Weisgal (who would later become the private secretary of Chaim Weizmann) commissioned Goldman to be, alongside Maurice Samuel (and possibly other writers), an author of the script of the pageant The Romance of a People, which debuted on Jewish Day—July 3, 1933 in Chicago—celebrated in tandem with "A Century of Progress," celebrating a century of the city of Chicago.

Goldman is the subject of a biography by fellow Chicago-based Rabbi Jacob J. Weinstein, Solomon Goldman: A Rabbi's Rabbi (New York: Ktav, 1973).

Hired over 20,000 employees in US in last 5 years: TCS
The Mumbai-based company, in its 2019-20 annual report, said it has accelerated its localisation programmes.
India's largest software services firm Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has hired over 20,000 employees in the US over the last five years, which has reduced its work visa dependency and de-risked business significantly. The Mumbai-based company, in its 2019-20 annual report, said it has accelerated its localisation programmes.
"Our delivery model has evolved over the last few years. Our Location Independent Agile promotes systematic collaboration across distributed teams and reduces the need for co-location.
"This, coupled with greater use of managed services contracting models have given us more flexibility around where our teams are based," TCS Executive Vice President and Global Head - Human Resources Milind Lakkad said.
He said TCS has hired over 20,000 employees in the last five years in the US, making it one of the top job creators in IT services and consulting.
"Every year, we hire hundreds of fresh engineering graduates and train them on new technologies. In FY2020, we hired over 2.5 times our usual fresher intake, and also made the training more account contextual, accelerating their ability to play productive, client-facing roles. For very short-term assignments, we use sub-contractors," he explained.
Lakkad said all these steps have brought down TCS' use of work visas to "a small fraction of what it used to be five years ago, de-risking our business significantly."
Over the past few years, Indian IT firms have significantly increased hiring in the US and other international markets as these countries have taken steps to tighten their work visa regimes.
America accounted for 52.2 per cent of TCS' Rs 1,56,949 crore revenue in 2019-20, while 30.6 per cent revenue came from Europe. India and 'others' geographies contributed 5.7 per cent and 11.5 per cent to the fiscal's revenue, respectively.
Lakkad said virtualisation of many activities with SBWS (Secure Borderless Workspaces) will reduce the need for travel and co-location of employees even further.
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, TCS pivoted to a new operating model called SBWS, using which it has been able to continue supporting customers in their mission critical operations as well as transformational projects.
The company, which employs over 4.48 lakh staff, said SBWS will continue to be an integral part of its new operating model and represents the future of work.
TCS CEO and Managing Director Rajesh Gopinathan, in his message in the annual report, said SBWS helps TCSers enjoy a better quality of life, while making service delivery more resilient as the fully distributed model is better suited for business continuity.
He added that customers are comfortable with this model and want the company to take more work that others are not able to handle.
"This has given us the confidence to come out with a bold new Vision 25x25. We believe that by 2025, only 25 per cent of our associates will need to work out of our facilities at any point of time; and every associate will be able to realize their potential without spending more than 25 per cent of their time in a TCS office," he noted.
It is not just TCS employees who are logging into work digitally now. In view of the COVID-19 pandemic, TCS will hold its annual general meeting (AGM) virtually this year on June 11.
TCS AGMs are held in Mumbai -- which is among the worst coronavirus-affected cities in the country. The annual event sees significant attendance from shareholders to hear management views on business decisions and get insights into the future course for the company.

Toronto GP 2011 Review
10 July 2011 Releases
Canadian Touring Car Championship…
Double Podium for Mathieu Audette at the Toronto Indy GP
Toronto (Ontario), July 10, 2011.– At the wheel of his Dimensions Doors / Novatech Acura RSX Type-S, Quebec driver Mathieu Audette realised a very satisfying return to the Canadian Touring Car Championship, earning one third and one second place finish at the two Toronto Indy Grand Prix races. This marks the best career performance for Mathieu Audette at the temporary urban track In Toronto.
This 2011 Toronto Indy Grand Prix was the season's first race weekend in the Canadian Touring Car Championship for Mathieu Audette, who was unable to enter the start of the season's races due to conflicts with new technical regulations. On a course that he enjoys but has never brought him much luck, Audette was able to prove to everyone that he has not lost his touch, even if things got off to a rocky start on Friday : " during the only practice session on Friday, we had a problem with our engine. It was impossible to repair and we were thinking that our weekend was ending right then and there. Luckily, we got the chance to buy from the M&S Racing Team an Acura engine that they used last season and it ran without any problems for the rest of the weekend " explained Mathieu.
Saturday, for the first of the two races, Mathieu started in seventh place before crossing the finish line in third spot. " I didn't really know what to expect, mainly because we didn't have the time to sort out the car's settings and work on the suspension. But everything worked out well and I was quickly able to climb to the Top 5 and then to third spot in the last few laps " mentioned the Audette Racing driver.
Sunday, Audette started the race in third place. He fought hard throughout the race before overtaking Ontarian Alex Healy on the penultimate lap, finishing second, sixth-tenths of a second from the winner. " I lost a position and the start but I was able to regain it very quickly. It was a tight battle for second place, which I was finally able to claim " shared Mathieu.
The victory in each of the races went to championship leader Richard Boake, in a very powerful Subaru. " On a temporary urban track, a four-wheel-drive car has an advantage, but Sunday after I passed Healy, I came very close to Boake because he had almost no more brakes. I put the pressure on but he took the win. One more lap and I sincerely think that I would've won the race " confided Mathieu Audette, who was nonetheless thrilled with his weekend : " everyone on the Audette Racing Team did a remarkable job and I thank them all; it's a great return to the series. Thanks also to the M&S Racing Team who sold us an engine, enabling us to qualify and race competitively. Without them, we would've been heading home on Friday! " he concluded.
The next outing for Mathieu Audette in the Canadian Touring Car Championship is set for the first weekend of August at the Grand Prix de Trois-Rivières.
In addition to the Canadian Touring Car Championship, the Audette Racing Team is contesting the F2000 Series with Mathieu's younger brother, Rémy Audette. At the mid-point of the season, Rémy is the championship leader.
The Audette Racing Team benefits form the support of Dimensions Doors, Novatech, Acura Plus Blainville, Les Extrusions du Nord, Verre Select, Jeld Wen, OPM, Amusements Spectaculaire, Les Moulures PFJV, Gulf, Mec-Inov and Omnitech.
