"It's basically a spectrum," observed Dr Barrett. "I don't think it's bad to have a new word that describes animals that are in the middle of that spectrum."
The derivation of the term fourth estate arises from the traditional European concept of the three estates of the realm: the clergy, the nobility, and the commoners. The equivalent term fourth power is somewhat uncommon in English but is used in many European languages (see: es:Cuarto poder and fr:Quatrième pouvoir, for example) referring to the separation of powers in government into a legislature, an executive, and a judiciary.
what part did the rise of Christianity and the Catholic Church play in the ending of Roman rule? Was the influence of Christianity baleful or liberating?
Is the Algorithmification of the Human Experience a Good Thing?
Skeptics will point out that those algorithms are designed by corporations to serve their interests, not yours. Social media companies, for instance, want to keep you on their services as long as possible, which makes them prone to pushing emotionally charged content that might not be super healthy for you or for society. And even a benevolent algorithm can produce negative or unwanted results.
The video wasn't directly crafted by a machine. But it wasn't totally a human creation, either. Rather, it was optimized to appeal to YouTube's content algorithm, which automatically plays related videos one after the other. "Johny Johny Yes Papa" copies enough elements of popular kid's videos — a certain length, musical beat, color palette and visual style, along with key words and lyrics — that YouTube's algorithm will line it up after more popular songs.
At least on a symbolic level, there is something unsettling about a global, faceless content empire that hoovers up human culture and processes it into homogenized nothingness to be fed to kids via tireless social media algorithms that seek, above all else, to maximize time spent on site.
What if the origin of farming wasn't a moment of liberation but of entrapment? Scott offers an alternative to the conventional narrative that is altogether more fascinating, not least in the way it omits any self-congratulation about human achievement.
The perfectly formed city-state is the ideal, deeply ingrained in the Western psyche, on which our notion of the nation-state is founded, ultimately inspiring Donald Trump's notion of a 'city' wall to keep out the barbarian Mexican horde, and Brexiters' desire to 'take back control' from insurgent European bureaucrats.
His account of the deep past doesn't purport to be definitive, but it is surely more accurate than the one we're used to, and it implicitly exposes the flaws in contemporary political ideas that ultimately rest on a narrative of human progress and on the ideal of the city/nation-state.
domesticated goats had begun to eat up the local vegetation – the first step to today's barren landscape.
although farming would have significantly increased mortality rates in both infants and adults, sedentism would have increased fertility. Mobile hunter-gatherers were effectively limited by the demands of travel to having one child every four years. An increase in fertility that just about outpaced the increase in mortality would account for the slow, steady increase in population in the villages.
Collapse could mean nothing more than the abandonment of the centre and the redistribution of the population into independent settlements, to be followed by the next cycle of annexation.
According to Scott, the period of early states was the Golden Age for the barbarians.
"Inflammation is the final common pathway for pretty much all chronic diseases," he told me. His recommended solution is an "anti-inflammatory diet"—omitting sugar, caffeine, beans, dairy, gluten, and processed foods, as well as taking a variety of supplements, including probiotics, fish oil, Vitamins C and D, and curcumin, a key molecule in turmeric.
Il y a 500 ans, Martin Luther publiait ses 95 thèses pour dénoncer le trafic de l'Eglise catholique qui vendait littéralement des places au paradis. Mais le père de la réforme protestante ne s'attendait pas à un si grand succès médiatique. Un entretien avec son biographe en démonte les ressorts.
Beaucoup de laïcs, de gens moyennement cultivés mais qui pouvaient au moins écrire en allemand, se sont faits les diffuseurs des idées de Luther, parce qu'il leur avait apporté un message qui les réconfortait.
C'est aussi quelqu'un qui a su donner une réponse pastorale, apaisante, réconfortante, cohérente, au tourment de ses contemporains qui se demandaient vraiment : "Est-ce que je peux réussir ma mort ? Comment est-ce que ça va se passer pour moi dans l'au-delà ?"
Ce que Luther a compris, c'est qu'il y avait un certain nombre de questions que l'on pouvait traiter dans de petits écrits destinés à un large public et rédigés en allemand. Et cela, ses adversaires ne l'ont pas compris d'emblée.
un bon nombre de clercs et de laïcs se sont mis à leur tour à écrire, à publier ce qu'on appelle des feuilles volantes, des Flugschriften, de petits écrits imprimés, dans lesquels ils exprimaient la manière dont eux avaient compris les idées de Luther. Donc ils se sont faits en quelque sorte des démultiplicateurs des écrits de Luther, et ça, c'est tout à fait nouveau à cette époque.
And conversely, how much attention should we pay to the fact that today's nascent democracies are held to a much higher moral standard than more established ones were in their earliest days? The early United States, for instance, relied on slave labor and waged brutal ethnic cleansing campaigns against Native Americans. European nations used slavery, torture and political oppression to maintain control over their colonies.
We now recognize, rightly, that those atrocities were abhorrent and shameful. But it is easier to do that from today's comfortable vantage point of wealth and stability. We rarely reckon with how much of what we have today was derived from the oppression of others. So should we take a cold, hard look at the difficulties of establishing democracy, freedom and equality all at the same time?
Here's where we're up to: to make sense of the idea that taxation is (moral) theft, we have to make sense of the idea that each person has a moral claim on the entirety of her gross income, and this can be made sense of only if property rights are natural rather than mere human constructions. We need, therefore, to defend a theory of natural property rights.
Acemoglu and Robinson, generalize from these examples of bordering countries and deduce that good institutions also explain the differences in wealth between nations that aren't neighbors and that differ greatly in their geographic environments and human populations.
why have some countries ended up with good institutions, while others haven't? The most important factor behind their emergence is the historical duration of centralized government.
The various durations of government around the world are linked to the various durations and productivities of farming that was the prerequisite for the rise of governments.
in formerly poor countries with sparse native populations, such as Costa Rica and Australia, European settlers had to work themselves and developed institutional incentives rewarding work.
In the New World the two north temperate countries (the US and Canada, average incomes respectively $47,390 and $43,270) and the three south temperate countries (Uruguay, Chile, and Argentina, respectively $10,590, $10,120, and $8,620) are all richer—on the average five times richer—than almost all of the intervening seventeen tropical countries of mainland Central and South America (incomes mostly between $1,110 and $6,970).
biological characteristics of the responsible microbes have made it easier to develop vaccines against major infectious diseases of temperate areas than against tropical diseases; we still aren't close to a vaccine against malaria, despite billions of dollars invested.
glaciers repeatedly advanced and retreated over temperate areas, creating young nutrient-rich soils.
inclusive institutions are required for sustained growth based on technological change.
Acemoglu and Robinson's view of history is that small effects at critical junctures have long-lasting effects, so it's hard to make predictions. While they don't say so explicitly, this view suggests that good institutions should have cropped up randomly around the world, depending on who happened to decide what at some particular place and time.
In their Chapter 5, Acemoglu and Robinson use one of those exceptional patterns (that for the Fertile Crescent) to assert, in the complete absence of evidence, that those particular hunter/gatherers had become sedentary because, for unknown reasons, they happened to develop innovative institutions through a hypothesized political revolution.
They take these maps to mean that the ancestors of barley and wheat were distributed along a long arc beyond the Fertile Crescent, hence that the Fertile Crescent's unique role in agriculture's origins was not determined by the availability of plant and animal species.
My overall assessment of the authors' argument is that inclusive institutions, while not the overwhelming determinant of prosperity that they claim, are an important factor.
The solution is to outline exactly what you're going to do. This requires preparation. Even if it's a small task, think of it as a presentation. Schedule one meeting with your managers, present how you're going to tackle this specific project/assignment, and get their approval on every bullet. Follow up explicitly confirming that you'll do xyz. Then here's the key part: don't check in again until it's done the way you agreed.
Surround yourself with and learn from inspiring people.
As usual, the answer is that "racism" is a confusing word that serves as a mishmash of unlike concepts. Here are some of the definitions people use for racism: 1. Definition By Motives: An irrational feeling of hatred toward some race that causes someone to want to hurt or discriminate against them. 2. Definition By Belief: A belief that some race has negative qualities or is inferior, especially if this is innate/genetic. 3. Definition By Consequences: Anything whose consequence is harm to minorities or promotion of white supremacy, regardless of whether or not this is intentional.
Murder is an effect of other goals – sometimes base, sometimes noble – and the invocation of "murderism" only serves to hide these goals and conflate different actions into a single meaningless category.
Games, with their endless task lists and character-leveling systems, their choice architectures and mission checklists, are purpose generators. They bring order to gamers' lives.
Video games, you might say, offer a sort of universal basic income for the soul.
There's a fine line between that psychology and good game design." This was true long before the rise of computer gaming. "People will never stop playing chess, because it's a great game. The discussions I hear are more about how can we keep these games interesting to keep playing."
One way to do that, it turns out, is to give people a sense of earned achievement. "What games are good at—what they are designed to do—is simulate being good at something," Wolpaw says.
Did all those hours playing games make me feel fulfilled? Did they make me feel as if I had made good decisions in my life? Yes—and no. At times, I found video games an entertainment experience as smart and satisfying as any novel or movie or television show I have ever absorbed. At other times, I have let go of my controller late at night, overcome by existential emptiness and the realization that I have, yet again, just spent the better part of a day engaged in an activity of no practical value to me or anyone else. I enjoy games, but not without some reservation. Sometimes I go weeks without playing. And if I had to choose between gaming and work, I know I'd pick the latter.
But when he began working on Nazi anti-Semitism in the early 1960s, little had been written on it, and it was not regarded as an entirely respectable subject either in West Germany or in Israel. Where Memory Leads offers a close-to-the-ground view of the debates, scholarly and less scholarly, that erupted in both countries from the Auschwitz trials of 1963-65 to the so-called Historians' Battle of the late 1980s. It is a powerful reminder of just how much intellectual labour was required in West Germany to get the country to where it is today, the most historically self-aware democracy in the world. But engaging with Nazism was no simple matter for Israeli historians either, especially after 1967. The founders of the new state wanted to turn their back on a European past of victimhood and celebrate the virile heroes of the war of independence. They did at first not take kindly to Friedländer's insistence that this too was part of the country's past, and it took time before the political elite became as comfortable as it is today invoking the memory of the Holocaust.
Pour commencer, certains métiers sont par principe fermés aux étrangers (hors Union européenne) : ils ne peuvent, par exemple, accéder à la fonction publique qu'en tant qu'agent contractuel ou vacataire, jamais en tant que titulaire (exception faite des postes d'enseignants-chercheurs). Il en va de même avec certaines professions « réglementées » qui nécessitent diplômes, certificats ou titres ad hoc ; dans certains cas, une reprise complète des études est nécessaire.
Is Christmas the Greatest Story Ever Told?
This story has everything—audacity, wonder, awe, journey, vulnerability, courage, tragedy—and they all collide in a single narrative, she says. If you were to direct this as a Hollywood movie, all the typical elements of great storytelling are there.
Buster compared the story's components to beloved American films. She said it has the audacity of Schindler's List, the transformation of Shawshank Redemption, the complexity of It's A Wonderful Life, and the depth of the Star Wars franchise, which she adds, borrows the full template of the Christ story.

Q: Create a custom RESPONSE of a PHP page im creating a application connected to a MYSQL Database where user can login or register. In the register class i use OKHTTP3 to register a new user. OKHTTP3 make a request to a php page that execute the query. The response of the page is always the same (code: 200, messagge:"empty" ). Id like to custom the response of the php page like the code and messagge so i can know if the registration was success or not. How can i do it?
As simple as possible please.
My OKHTTP3 request:
String reg_name = username.getText().toString();
            String reg_pass = password.getText().toString();

                        public void run() {
                            Toast.makeText(thisContext, risposta, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                            if (ok) {
                                Intent myIntent = new Intent(thisContext, mainMenuActivity.class);
                                thisContext.startActivity(myIntent);
                            }else{
                                password.setText("");
                                username.setText("");
                            }
                        }
                    });

                }
            });

My php page:
<?php

 $connessione = mysqli_connect("localhost", "usr", "psw", "db");

 $user_name = $_POST['user_name'];

 $user_pass = $_POST['user_pass'];

 $query =  "INSERT INTO `player` (`username`, `password`, `money`) VALUES ('".$user_name."', '".$user_pass."', '100');";

 $risultato = mysqli_query($connessione, $query);

if($risultato){
 //CUSTOM MESSAGGE
}else{

}

 ?>

A: You can set the code being output with http_response_code();, eg:
http_response_code(500);

in case of a server error, 400 for bad request, etc. For the body, you should just be able to echo it right there in the body. I'd recommend doing something like json_encode() 'ing an array of data.
And please don't use PHP close tags.
Why would one omit the close tag?

title: Add a Negative Margin to an Element
challengeType: 0
videoUrl: https://scrimba.com/c/cnpyGs3
forumTopicId: 16166
localeTitle: Добавить отрицательные поля к элементу
---

## Description

Значение margin (поле) элемента контролирует объем пространства между значением border (границей) элемента и окружающими элементами. Если вы установите значение margin отрицательным, то размер элемента увеличится.

## Instructions

Попытайтесь установить значение margin отрицательным, как у красного окна. Установите margin синего окна равным -15px, чтобы он заполнил всю горизонтальную ширину желтой рамки вокруг него.

## Tests

```yml
tests:
  - text: Your <code>blue-box</code> class should give elements <code>-15px</code> of <code>margin</code>.
    testString: assert($(".blue-box").css("margin-top") === "-15px");

```

## Challenge Seed

```html
<style>
  .injected-text {
    margin-bottom: -25px;
    text-align: center;
  }

  .box {
    border-style: solid;
    border-color: black;
    border-width: 5px;
    text-align: center;
  }

  .yellow-box {
    background-color: yellow;
    padding: 10px;
  }

  .red-box {
    background-color: crimson;
    color: #fff;
    padding: 20px;
    margin: -15px;
  }

  .blue-box {
    background-color: blue;
    color: #fff;
    padding: 20px;
    margin: 20px;
  }
</style>

<div class="box yellow-box">
  <h5 class="box red-box">padding</h5>
  <h5 class="box blue-box">padding</h5>
</div>

```

## Solution

```html
<style>
  .injected-text {
    margin-bottom: -25px;
    text-align: center;
  }

  .box {
    border-style: solid;
    border-color: black;
    border-width: 5px;
    text-align: center;
  }

  .yellow-box {
    background-color: yellow;
    padding: 10px;
  }

  .red-box {
    background-color: crimson;
    color: #fff;
    padding: 20px;
    margin: -15px;
  }

  .blue-box {
    background-color: blue;
    color: #fff;
    padding: 20px;
    margin: 20px;
    margin-top: -15px;
  }
</style>

<div class="box yellow-box">

Steered in by the shouting of impala, bushbuck, nyala and vervet monkeys we zoned in on the spot. Moments later we had the culprit in our view!
The realization of what we had just found took a few seconds to sink in… what we were looking at was a beautiful cheetah crouched over a young male impala. Teeth still buried into the unsuspecting prey. We must have missed the speedy chase by a mater of minutes, or even seconds, but I was delighted nonetheless in what we were looking at.
A rare occurrence, I think its quite hard for cheetahs to compete with the other predators of Londolozi, hence they have to feed quickly ASAP!
Wow. Powerful cat. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for the experience Adam and Solly – it was awesome to be a passenger on your vehicle for this sighting. This one will be a memory that will stay with us forever!

Millions of flu jabs could be delayed until December, amid fears of NHS winter crisis
Ministers pledged to offer the jab to healthy over-50s as part of 'the biggest flu vaccination programme in history'
By Laura Donnelly, Health Editor 31 August 2020 • 10:17pm
Coronavirus Article Bar with counter
Millions of flu jabs may not be offered until close to Christmas, despite fears of an NHS winter crisis, The Telegraph can reveal.
Ministers have promised "the biggest flu vaccination programme in history" in a bid to ensure the NHS can cope if it is hit by a "double whammy" of flu and Covid this winter.
They pledged to expand the programme to half the population, with healthy over 50s offered a jab, as well as pensioners, those with underlying health conditions, and young children.
But now patients have been told it is likely that they will have to wait until December for the jab - despite the fact the flu season may well start earlier, and amid fears of a second wave of Covid.
The vaccination programme is due to start this month, with the most vulnerable patients prioritised first.
Government guidance, seen by The Telegraph, says services aim to "extend the vaccine programme in November and December to include the 50-64 year old age group, subject to vaccine supply".
Second coronavirus wave - three scenarios
Patients within this age group - including those with underlying conditions such as type two diabetes - have now been told that it is is "likely" that vaccinations for such patients will not even start until December.
The government guidance goes on to suggests that flu jabs may not be offered to healthy patients aged 50 to 64 at all. It says only that for this group, the vaccinations "might" be offered - "following prioritisation of other eligible groups and subject to vaccine supply".
The Royal College of GPs on Monday night urged the Government to provide assurances about whether there are actually sufficient vaccines to provide an expanded programme.
One diabetes patient, aged 63, received a text message from Bounds Green Group Practice in North London, this weekend, stating: "The government have increased the age range of those entitled to the flu vaccination to include those of 50 years and over. Due to availability of vaccines, the vaccinations for this group will likely commence in December."
The message also ordered patients not to ring the surgery to make any enquiries about the matter "as this places additional pressure on our phone lines".
The patient, from Haringey, said she was fearful that by the time the practice gave her a jab it would be too far into the flu season to protect her.
"Because I have an underlying condition which makes me vulnerable to Covid and I fall in the new plus-50 age category I thought I was eligible for a flu vaccination on two grounds," she said.
"I was pretty surprised to receive a text message from my practice saying that 'due to availability of vaccines', vaccinations 'will likely commence in December'".
NHS England and the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) said that patients with diabetes should have been among those who were prioritised for jabs, under the Government's guidance.
Dr Jonathan Leach, Honorary Secretary for the Royal College of GPs, said it was essential that those in the highest risk groups received their vaccinations.
But he said the RCGP was seeking assurances from Government that there is sufficient supply of the vaccine to expand the programme to cover healthy people below the age of 64.
Dr Leach said: "For the extra cohort of patients included in the expanded flu programme, for example 50-64-year-olds, we have asked for assurance from the Government that there is enough supply of vaccines to go around.
"If there is not enough supply, GPs, our teams and the public need to know, so that patients' expectations can be managed – and we need clear guidance as to who we should prioritise for a flu jab, outside of those patients most at risk."
A DHSC spokesman said there was high demand internationally for procuring flu vaccines, but said the Government had procured additional supplies for the expanded programme, and intended to roll it out to those aged 50 to 64.
He said: "We have outlined in our flu vaccine plans that those eligible under at risk groups – including diabetes - are to receive a flu vaccine as a priority, and we have secured additional flu vaccines for those who need them. This is the biggest flu vaccine programme in UK history and healthcare staff will work to vaccinate more than 30 million people, millions more than received it last year. "
An NHS spokesman said: "GPs are expected to follow the government's guidance that people with diabetes should be offered the flu vaccination as part of the national programme beginning this month."

  B   |   B   | XYZ05
  B   |   B   | XYZ06
  B   |   B   | XYZ07
  B   |   B   | XYZ08

I need a query which will return maximum of 2 records where Col_1 and Col_2 are distinct (regardless of Col_3) (that should be like 2 records sample of each distinct col_1,col_2 combination).
So this query should return:
Col_1 | Col_2 | Col_3
------+-------+------
  A   |   A   | XYZ01
  A   |   A   | XYZ02
  A   |   B   | XYZ04
  B   |   B   | XYZ05
  B   |   B   | XYZ06

A: SELECT *
FROM (
    SELECT col_1
        ,col_2
        ,col_3
        ,row_number() OVER (
            PARTITION BY col_1
            ,col_2 ORDER BY col_1
            ) AS foo
    FROM TABLENAME
    )  bar
WHERE foo < 3

Top command will not work because you want to 'group by' multiple columns. What will help is partitioning the data and assigning a row number to the partition data. By partitioning on col_1 and col_2 we can create 3 different groupings.
1.All rows with 'a' in col_1
 2.All rows with 'b' in col_2
 3 All rows with 'a' and 'b' in col_1,col_2
we will order by col_1 (I picked this because your result set was ordered by a). Then for each row in that grouping we will count the rows and display the row number.
We will use this information as a derived table, and select * from this derived table where the rownumber is less than 3. This will get us the first two elements in each grouping

A: as far as Oracle The use of Rank would work.
Select * From (SELECT Col_1 ,
   Col_2 ,
   Col_3 ,
   RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY Col_1, Col_2 ORDER BY Col_1 ) part
FROM   someTable ) st where st.part < 2;

Since I was reminded that you can't use the alias in the original where clause, I made a change that will still work, though may not be the most elegant.

A Pastoral Counselor is a Licensed Professional Counselor who has been specifically trained to diagnose mental health conditions and integrate matters of faith into counseling as appropriate. However, some pastoral counselors are not licensed, they are in ministerial positions who often serve in churches to support parishioners. Licensed Pastoral Counselors are professionals who are uniquely trained to do mental health counseling and pastoral care for people who want to include their faith traditions in therapy. I have been trained to include all faith traditions in my work with clients, not just one particular religion. I honor the journey that each client is on, regarding their faith commitment, whether it includes religion or not. I see myself as a helper, not a judge. I don't believe God can be put in a box.
Many people turn to persons in ministerial positions when life is a challenge. They seek comfort and direction to help them solve a problem or try to make sense of something that's happened in their life. However, many clergymen/women are not trained to diagnose mental health conditions for their parishioners. In fact, clergymen/women often refer their parishioners to people like me who can integrate these two "worlds" on a more clinical level. Some people need mental health support in a pastoral clinical setting, and that is my passion, and what I love to do! Many clinical issues do have a spiritual component, and I help people uncover what those might be for them.
I have additional training in matters of faith as well to supplement my clinical license. I am also an ordained minister in my faith tradition and have spent a great deal of time reflecting on my own journey in order to bring a sense of calm and serenity to my clients. I have always been intrigued and fascinated about how theology and psychological issues intersect., so I keep abreast about the resources out there that might help my clients.
I am an avid learner and investigator. My top five strengths are: empathy, individualization, input, achiever, and learner. I am on a marathon journey towards earning my Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision and am currently studying at Liberty University.
Perhaps you have questions. I would be interested to hear your thoughts about matters of faith and psychology. Tell me about your journey.

The concept of the witch is ancient, from long before there was a name for it.
Witches were "mystics" long before any such label was "necessary".
There has always been a need for people living apart. Even in the ancient, tribal hunter-gatherer societies, where there were no contradiction between being an individual and being a part of the tribe that was true.
They were Hunters and warriors, creators and tellers of stories. They communed with spirits and they led the tribe into the Unknown.
In the middle ages a process started already in the early agricultural societies reached a bloody climax. "Members" of a diluted form of witchcraft were hunted down and killed, burned and executed by the christian church. The scant survivors called it The Burning Times and wowed "never again".
But today many witches have forgotten the harsh lessons of The Burning Times.
Today "Thou shall not suffer a witch to live" is painted on walls once again.
Christians portray witches as the devil's servants.
A substantial number of modern witches enjoy portraying themselves as saints and believe/claim that should be the norm for every witch, every one, everyone else.
In other words: They, like the christians believe in the good of suppressing major parts of human nature. Hatred, anger and rage, what is seen as negative emotions have no place in the life of a witch. Some wiccans (even if that's more rare) are also denying passion and lust, making them even more equal to christians…
The concept of The Raging Witch is ancient. The Witch when seeing injustice and intolerance unfold threw a fit of rage and if sufficiently powerful, made knots of the offending parties. The rage often enhanced the witch' power, as strong emotions are said to do. They were told to be aware of the potential dangers of The Rage, but not to keep it pent up inside.
The fact is: The "harm none" and "the rule of three" is just another adaptation of christian lore and has nothing to do with ancient human Life. These slogans, beliefs throughout history have in fact harmed many, just as effectively and perhaps even more so than the striking of a blow. I see it as a sort of appeasement to be more easily accepted in a society where christian morals are dominating. Most of today's witches are, after all brought up on those morals. The seeds of continued slavery are sown in an early age. And they in turn, are visiting the same attitude of servitude upon their children.
The origin of the phrase The Left Hand Path is surely based partly on prejudice against left-handed people.
We are human beings, not lambs or sheep, and as human beings we should Live, not be content to exist in a prison of our own making.
Emotion, passion in all forms is vitality. Without vitality there isn't Life.
Modern society is destroying everything making Life worth Living. We should not aid it in that endeavor. We should all be enraged by it. A thousand year's Rage isn't enough. Or a million. Not as long as the Machine is still working, still claiming new, fresh victims every fucking second of the day.
And destroying Life on Earth.


His name has been repeatedly mentioned at the House of Representatives hearing on the drug proliferation at New Bilibid Prison (NBP). He is allegedly a powerful inmate feared by many at the national penitentiary.
Sebastian, who is serving time for hijacking, heads Presidio, one of the two major groups inside NBP. His archrival, Herbert Colanggo, a convicted kidnapper, is the leader of the Carcel group.
At the start of the congressional inquiry on Tuesday, Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre II began his testimony on the alleged drug trade at the national penitentiary with a Discovery Channel documentary on gangs in the Philippines.
The documentary had Sebastian and his gang mates boast of how powerful they were. He was running his gang from inside NBP, boasting of his own TV station, high-tech detention cell and connections with ranking government officials.
With Sebastian's name consistently being mentioned by convicts-turned-witnesses, Manila Teachers Rep. Virgilio Lacson suggested that the convict should be called to the congressional hearing.
Aguirre said the Department of Justice (DOJ) was trying to convince Sebastian to testify. "We have not given up on Jaybee," he said.
At the hearing, Aguirre said Sebastian wanted to monopolize the drug trade at NBP.
The DOJ's witnesses have claimed that Sen. Leila de Lima, then justice secretary, and Sebastian knew each other well.
Magdalo Rep. Gary Alejano said that Sebastian was the asset used by government that led to the December 2014 raid on the national penitentiary.
It was successful in the sense that 19 convicts running the drug trade inside NBP, including Colanggo, were arrested and brought to the National Bureau of Investigation.
Sebastian was left inside NBP. He was the government asset of then Bureau of Corrections Chief Franklin Bucayo, two sources familiar with "Oplan: Galugad" told the Inquirer, referring to the operational plan that was used by the DOJ for the December raid.
Sebastian was chosen because he was "intelligent, diplomatic and had leadership qualities" compared to the other gang leaders inside the penitentiary, the sources said.
"You really have to develop an asset among the gang leaders because if you constrict all of them, you will have a leadership vacuum among the inmates," said one of the sources.
Alejano believed that the strategy used by the then Aquino administration to rid NBP of the drug trade was now being used by the DOJ against De Lima herself—and Sebastian.
An Inquirer source said that Sebastian and Colanggo used to be friends until Sebastian outwitted the other and took over the leadership at the maximum security compound.
"But Herbert was also a bully, especially to the Chinese (inmates)," the source said.
The source told the Inquirer that it was difficult to prove that money ever reached De Lima, based on the testimonies of the convicts-turned-witnesses now enjoying immunity from suit granted by the House of Representatives.
"That's how it is inside. Anyone can name anybody, use anybody's name as long as they can collect money," the source said.

Q: Prevent page scroll I need to prevent page scroll, so I add the following style to body:
overflow: hidden;

This works on desktop. On mobile it has no affect.
After reading this a solution appears to be either adding a child div of body and adding a fixed position.
This works but causes the page to jump to the top if you fix the page when you are half way down the page.
How can I prevent scrolling on mobile without having the page jump to the top?

A: HTML Solution:
// disable scrolling and scaling on mobile devices

Contract administration is a key component of contract management, its main task consisting of presenting structured information relevant to the contract.
In order to ensure the optimisation mentioned and hence the related efficiency in contracting at all times, responsibilities (both external and internal) and, as a matter of course, the contractual partners should also be able to be unambiguously recorded and defined using contract management (quality assurance measures as part of contract management).
Furthermore, legal and/or company law requirements relating to transparency in contracting can be complied with using an active contract management system.


Maggie Moroney, '17, was thrilled to land a plum internship with the U.S. Embassy in Bratislava, Slovakia, in summer 2016. With Slovakia slated to host the rotating European Union (EU) presidency from July through December 2016, Moroney anticipated a busy summer of meetings between U.S. Embassy personnel and high-ranking European dignitaries to discuss the European refugee crisis and other issues.
What she didn't anticipate was Brexit.
Brexit added another dimension to Moroney's internship, one that led her to ponder the rise of nationalism in many European countries and the United States and the importance of a well-educated citizenry to a healthy democratic process.
Moroney's internship in the EU presidency host country uniquely positioned her at the heart of animated discussions on Brexit and the refugee crisis, the latter having contributed to the former.
"Eastern Slovakia has seen a rise in neo-Nazism," Moroney said, "particularly among younger people who don't have any memory of extreme parties like the Nazis. Economic stagnation and the immigration crisis are driving neo-Nazism, especially in Eastern Europe. Slovakia has a very homogenous population and has taken only a nominal number of refugees—mostly women, children, and Christians.
For Moroney, a typical day at the U.S. Embassy included briefing section heads on U.S. and Slovakian news, managing visitors, reviewing grant applications before passing along a short list to her superiors, and providing administrative support on defense projects.
A New Jersey native majoring in political science and history, Moroney traced her interest in European politics and history to a high school trip to Poland, the Czech Republic, and the Netherlands.
Moroney not only got the internship, she also received a competitive F. Amanda DeBusk Civic Fellowship from the Bonner Center for Civic Engagement to support her internship, with Joireman providing academic context as her faculty mentor.
Moroney expressed gratitude for the many chances she has had to explore the world as an undergraduate, including a 10-day pilgrimage to Bali, Indonesia, with the Chaplaincy in May 2016.

B&O BeoVision 11 review
Looking for a truly luxurious TV that delivers a great performance too? This is it Tested at £5250
Looking for a truly luxurious TV that delivers a great performance too? This is it
Elegant style and impressive build
Terrific picture with rich colours
Strong contrasts and surefooted motion handling
Impressive feature list
Superb sound
Limited Smart TV apps
3D glasses aren't supplied as standard and cost £120 each
What makes a television luxurious? Are cutting edge engineering and great performance (at a suitably high price) enough, or is there more to it than that? And, ultimately, does this Bang & Olufsen BeoVision 11 TV deliver?
There seem to be two approaches. The common path, followed by all the industry giants, prioritises technology above all else. The most expensive sets have the most advanced features, and if you're lucky, greater attention paid to the cosmetics.
This makes for exciting products, but it doesn't take long for that new tech to trickle down to more affordable price levels – just witness what happened to smart TV, 3D and Full HD. At that point your high-end television has little to differentiate it from cheaper brethren, bar a flashier finish.
Bang & Olufsen has always done things differently, partially because it has to. This relatively small company just doesn't have the development resources or economies of scale of the big players.
Indeed, specialist companies such as this rarely make major advancements in vision technology (although once something is developed, such brands can still fine-tune the performance to a certain degree).
Bang & Olufsen BeoVision 11 review: Build and design
Bang & Olufsen's strength is in its understanding of the luxury market and what the people that buy such products want.
The BeoVision 11 can be customised to suit your home decor with a choice of black or white cabinets, and fabric for the front speaker grille in red, blue, white, black, silver or dark grey. The aluminium frames comes in silver or black.
High performance and construction quality are important, of course, but there's also the ability of the product to make people feel good when they use it. That's something the LCD-panel based BeoVision 11 does with ease.
It starts with the elegant look of the set and continues with the neat motorised pedestal stand. There's also an option of a motorised wall bracket for those that don't want to take up floor space. In both cases these motorised supports can swivel the TV to preset viewing angles.
Why? It's useful if you have a certain place you like to sit during the daytime to watch TV and another in the evening. Now you can do both and even program a third option for tucking the screen out of the way when it isn't being used - thoughtful, and clever. But there's far more to this set than just fancy supports…
Bang & Olufsen BeoVision 11 review: Sound quality
One of our most common complaints we have of flat-panel TV sets concerns their sound quality. The drive towards ever slimmer cabinets doesn't leave much for decently sized drive units – but the BeoVision 11 is an exception.
Here, the engineers have managed to fit a three-way pair of fully active stereo speakers. The driver complement includes a 19mm dome tweeter, 5cm midrange unit and a 10cm woofer.
All these drive units are powered by dedicated 32W ICEpower Class-D amplifiers. That's 6 x 32W power in total, and means the BeoVision 11 can output a maximum volume level of over 100dB.
Take a listen and all the effort is worthwhile: this is arguably the best sounding flatscreen we've ever reviewed. The sound has decent weight and authority, and the kind of clarity that's usually the province of dedicated audio equipment.
In fact, B&O even promote the idea of using this TV as a dedicated audio system. While we would crave something of a higher quality for music replay that's not a totally outlandish idea.
And again, while we're not saying this is a replacement for a proper separates surround system, it's a formidable achievement for a television.
If you don't want to add an AV receiver to your kit rack, though, fear not – for the BeoVision 11 also has a surround sound processor built in, which means it can be the heart of a complete surround speaker set-up.
Once connected to any of B&O's wide range of speakers the BeoVision 11 can use them in pretty much any configuration you want from basic two channel stereo to a full-fat system with surround-back speakers and extended height and width channels.
The processor knows what the speakers are capable of and manages bass output to each of the channels accordingly.
It also has dedicated sound modes for different types of programmes and can tailor its sonic presentation automatically when it detects say a change from say, the news to a football match (the type of program is flagged-up in the broadcast signal). B&O's system is well conceived and works nicely.
And talking of thoughtful touches, there's also the rather handy option of adding a 500GB internal hard disk for recording broadcast TV, though it's pricey feature at £694.
By current standards that storage space isn't massive, but it's enough for around 120 hours of high-definition off-air broadcasts and around double that for standard-def material.
Our review TV sample had one fitted and it worked well. The recording procedure is seamless and easy, and the recordings are pretty much indistinguishable from the original broadcasts.
The BeoVision 11 is available in three screen sizes: the 40in under test here, together with 46in and 55in options. All are Full HD, of course, and 3D capable with active glasses.
The glasses aren't supplied as standard, however, and cost a hefty £120 each – far pricier than the slicker-looking alternatives supplied by the likes of Samsung. B&O needs to be more competitive in areas such as this.
Similarly, smart TV is present, but is limited compared to cheaper mass-market alternatives. There's BBC iPlayer, YouTube and a web browser, but little else that excites. However, there is space in the cabinet for an Apple TV if you have one.
The BeoVision 11 is also DLNA-compliant, so it can stream video and music from a home network via a wired or (fuss-free) wireless connection and, as is normal these days, there are dedicated iPad and Android control apps that give you a QWERTY keyboard for surfing the net.
Bang & Olufsen BeoVision 11 review: Set-up
This TV might be easy to use, but the initial set-up isn't particularly straightforward. B&O intends the supplying dealer to get things going, and we would suggest doing just that – even if you're charged for the pleasure.
It's the only way to ensure the TV works as intended. That said, the basic picture and sound menus are simpler than the norm, and that's no bad thing.
Usually we keep clear of adaptive contrast settings, but not in this case. B&O's engineers have sensibly mounted the BeoVision 11's light sensor on the top right-hand corner of the TV, as opposed to on the front panel.
The unimpeded position on the top edge lets it account of the light conditions behind the set as well as in front of it, giving more consistent results regardless of ambient light conditions.
It's a mark of the inherent 'rightness' of the BeoVision's picture that we felt no great need to play around with its settings.
Bang & Olufsen BeoVision 11 review: Performance
This TV looked lovely with the Blu-ray of John Carter. No matter what you think of the film, there's no denying that there are plenty of visually spectacular scenes on show.
This B&O makes the most of them, with its impressively crisp detail and strong handling of contrasts.
It might 'only' be an edge-lit LED set, but the engineers have done a great job: in scenes where dark and light elements mix, the BeoVision differentiates the two superbly, keeping dark tones suitably deep without sacrificing much in the way of insight.
At the same time, brighter picture elements are delivered with plenty of punch and subtlety.
We love the colours, too. They're rich without being overbearing and nuanced enough to convince with difficult-to-reproduce textures such as skin or grass.
We're equally happy with motion handling. It's stable and composed, even when provoked by the large-scale battles scenes set on Mars.
Switch to 3D with our old favourite Avatar and the BeoVision's active set-up produces good results.
There are slight stability issues with fast motion – no worse than the best of its active rivals – but the '11 still impresses with its composure, colour rendition and detail. As far as active 3D goes, this set does well.
Move to standard-definition source material in the form of DVD and the B&O continues to shine. Sure, there's the expected drop-off in terms of precision and detail, but the picture remains remarkably clean and watchable.
Picture noise is held at low levels and specifics such as colour, contrast and motion are handled very well. Much the same holds for Freeview HD broadcasts.
Channels broadcast in HD look as good as we've seen them despite a certain amount of variability in the source material, while standard-def alternatives remain as easy to watch as on any other top-end set we've tried.
The surefooted handling of motion and high levels of detail work well with games, too.
Bang & Olufsen BeoVision 11 review: Verdict
Compared with conventional offerings, this 40in TV's £5000 price-tag looks way over the top. However, once we started using it, the BeoVision 11 soon charmed its way into our affections. If the price doesn't offend you, buy with confidence.

Certification can be achieved faster by selecting the right partners to help you through the process.
This infographic was designed to help our clients better understand what needs to be done to complete their DBA Debt Buyer Certification process. Certification can be achieved faster by selecting the right partners to help you through the process.
The path to certification begins by attending the DBA International and ACA International conferences and webinars to earn educational credits needed to become a Certified Recievables Compliance Professional (CRCP). Assuming you meet the other qualifications, educational credits are the only thing between you and becoming a CRCP.
The DBA will accept past conference attendance to qualify for the education credits. To be sure, how your past conference attendance will affect your CRCP eligibility, call DBA and speak with their professional staff. The DBA staff is always happy to help you figure out how many credits you have already earned.
After completing your CRCP, the next step is to complete your application for your organization to become a Certified Receivables Management Company (CRMC). This application includes an affidavit that your business is operating within the DBA guidelines. Before signing the affidavit, we suggest reviewing how your business manages and has documented these key compliance processes.
As part of this process you want to review your compliance related policies & procedures, complaint/dispute tracking, and other information related to the DBA International Certification Standards.
Once you have reviewed your policies & procedures internally, it may be time for a professional review of your documentation. Working with an experienced compliance attorney like Dara Tarkowski from Akerman's Chicago office provides insight into how your documentation will be viewed by regulators or in a court of law during litigation. This deeper understanding of your own documents can provide clear guidelines for needed improvements.
Your organization's data security should also be evaluated by a third party to help identify any weaknesses in your systems. Partnering with experienced Technical Consultants like Kolz Associates will provide an evaluation of your existing systems and provide guidelines for hardware, software and policy updates that may be needed to improve security.
As part of the DBA Certification process, CRMC's must be audited by an Authorized DBA Auditor. Working with auditors like Acumen Solutions Group provides the required business evaluation, but can also include other types of reviews including licensing and insurance policies.


If you are thinking about moving to a new home, it is very important to hire someone to help out. After all, moving is something that comes with a great deal of labor. It is going to be very overwhelming for the average person to have to deal with. Rather than trying to get through this alone, think about hiring Movers in St. Paul.
A moving company knows what needs to be done, and they are ready to do it. They will come to the home to offer a free quote as soon as possible. At this point, they will leave it up to the customer to decide what services to use.
A moving company is available to assist with the packing. They understand there is a lot of work to be done and there are a number of valuable items in the home. They will work hard to make sure everything is safely transported to the new home. The moving company will also make sure everything is packaged carefully so that it will not have any problems during transport.
It is great to know that Movers in St. Paul are available to assist from start to finish. They understand there is a bit of stress with everything to be done. Allow them to step in and take over these responsibilities. This will make it a less stressful experience.
Action Moving Services Inc. is available to offer a free quote right away. Visit their website to learn more about what can be expected when hiring their services. If it seems as though it would be beneficial to use a moving company, go ahead set up an appointment.
Don't worry if there is just too much work to do, get started with doing a little at a time. Start by packing up those things that are not needed right now. Put them into a storage facility where they are out of the way. Be prepared for moving day and everything is going to go great.

Wilson: Congress Should Focus on Jobs and the Safety of the Young and Vulnerable
By Rep. Frederica Wilson
Posted January 12, 2012 at 2:38pm
Since coming to Congress, my top priority has been to find ways to save and create jobs in our community and throughout the nation. It is clear that now is the time to work with the president to find solutions that will get our local governments back on track, fostering a sustained economic recovery.
I introduced the Jobs Now Act, which establishes grants for local governments and community-based organizations for the hiring, retention and training of employees in places with high unemployment, foreclosure and poverty rates.
I supported President Barack Obama's American Jobs Act, which would create and maintain hundreds of thousands of jobs in Florida. Included in the American Jobs Act is the establishment of a long-overdue National Infrastructure Bank to modernize our roads, bridges, railways, airports and water and sewer systems — creating millions of good-paying construction jobs. Among these public-private investments that we need to jump-start a dynamic 21st-century economy is the dredging of the Port of Miami, which alone could create up to 30,000 high-quality jobs.
In August, I organized a jobs fair in Miami that was attended by more than 9,000 people and 150 employers. The Rev. Jesse Jackson, MSNBC's Tamron Hall and several of my colleagues from the Congressional Black Caucus joined me for the jobs fair and spoke at my town hall meeting on jobs and the CBC's jobs initiative legislation, which calls for Congress to pass legislation to address the economic crisis in communities of color and nationwide.
Within the first few months of my time in office, I held a tele-town hall meeting with the Haiti special coordinator to the State Department, Thomas Adams, to give my constituents an update on the progress of international aid to Haiti. Knowing that there was still much work to be done, I traveled to Haiti to see the damage firsthand and look for ways to help. I also met with President Michel Martelly and took a helicopter ride to survey the earthquake damage. I persuaded the Obama administration to extend and redesignate temporary protected status for Haitian nationals. This important lifeline for tens of thousands of Haitians living in South Florida allows them to temporarily remain in this country with their families as the post-earthquake reconstruction progresses. I introduced the Cease Haiti Deportations Act to halt the removal of Haitian nationals until a report is made to Congress on the status of post-earthquake humanitarian, reconstruction and development efforts in the country. I also introduced a resolution calling for the U.S. to work with the Haitian government to work to end violence and rape against displaced women in Haiti.
I am a former school principal and Miami-Dade County School Board member, and my primary focus has always been the safety of our children. During my time in Congress, I have joined the Missing and Exploited Children's Caucus and the Foster Children's Caucus, and I have introduced the Rilya Wilson Act, named after a child from Miami who went missing from foster care a decade ago. It took 15 months for anyone to report her missing. My legislation seeks to ensure that every state has a plan in place to require prompt reporting of missing foster children to law enforcement.
Unfortunately, bullying and hazing still require action at the federal level, especially to combat hazing incidents such as the tragedies that claimed the lives of Florida A&M University drum major Robert Champion in November 2011 and University of Miami student Chad Meredith in November 2001. Because of that, I plan to introduce a federal anti-hazing bill. Hazing is demeaning, dangerous and, in some cases, deadly. It's time that we put an end to this horrible and humiliating ritual once and for all. I will use my experience fighting hazing during my four-year term as the South Atlantic Regional Director for Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, the first sorority founded by black students on the campus of Howard University in 1908. I am currently having policy discussions with stakeholders so we will be able to draft a strong bill for introduction this month.
Last year, at my request, the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division agreed to investigate the Miami Police Department following the shooting deaths of several black men by police in 2010 and 2011.
Rep. Frederica Wilson is a member of the Foreign Affairs and Science, Space and Technology committees.

A set of geographic maps of scale 1: 1 000 000 is update
In KB "Panorama" the generalization of settlements titles for digital geographic maps of scale 1: 1 000 000 in the SXF format, formed according to VMap0 (www.gis-lab.info), was performed. As a result of generalization, the general appearance of the maps is improved and the superimposition of titles for any scale is eliminated.
The maps were led to the classifier of geographical maps of scale 1: 1 000 000 (1mogk13g.rsc). Maps were led to the classifier of geographic maps of scale 1: 1 000 000 (1mogk13g.rsc), were supplemented by information on the quantity of inhabitants for cities and by the names of settlements in Russian. It can be used for the general estimation of the terrain and studying of an environment, an ensuring of educational process, as a basis for creation of geographical maps of smaller scale, thematic and special maps and solving other tasks. Maps are distributed free according to the free licence.
Digital geographical maps of scale 1: 1 000 000 in format SXF are available for downloading on page the "Digital maps and images".

Databank of digital maps and remote sensing data is optimized for the issuance of large volumes of geodata
In KB "Panorama" the Databank of digital maps and Remote Sensing Data (RSE) version 4.2 is developed. The new version improves the processing of requests for obtaining data of large volume. Speed of forming the archive with data is increased. Data can be received via HTTP protocol or through an exchange folder. Ability is added the to select the mode of archiving spatial data. The location of data in the archive and the exchange folder can be at the same nesting level or with subdirectories. There is implemented the ability to obtain geodata on request, with different parameters for the archive formation.
The list of logged user actions has been expanded. Creation of separate log with the list of deleted data sets is added. Logging of the request execution process is implemented. A report is generated from the user's actions log, which can be printed using browser tools.
Within the framework of a single geoinformation space, the Data Bank of digital maps and remote sensing data realises gathering, storage, search and delivery of the spatial data in exchange formats. The spatial data selected by means of the program can be placed for the multiuser access on the GIS Server and be published according to the international standards OGC WFS, WFS-T, WMS, WMTS, WCS on application server the GIS WebService SE. Users can access data from both a thin client (by means of GIS WebServer SE) and from desktop applications (GIS "Panorama", GIS "Operator"). The databank of digital maps and remote sensing data provides construction of cloud warehouse of spatial data, provision of access to these data, the automated formation and updating of geo-covers. The current state of spatial data is displayed by means of maps-schemes that are maintained for each type of stored data: vector maps, remote sensing data, elevation matrixes and terrain models. It provides remote placing the sets of spatial data into file warehouse, keeping versions of stored sets, updating maps-schemes of data availability, the automated collection and formation of metadata, and the formation and updating of geo-covers. Automated collection and formation of metadata is performed according to the standards of ISO 19115: 2003, Geographic information - Metadata and ISO/TS 19139, Geographic information - Metadata - XML schema implementation. The reduced copies of data images are automatically formed, checksum of files and completeness of data sets are checked.

In the "Workstation of agronomist" the possibilities for work with data of satellite monitoring are expanded
Technologies of KB "Panorama" for satellite...
In KB Panorama the "Workstation of Agronomist" version 12.7.5 is developed. The new version provides advanced tools for obtaining and viewing the data of remote sensing the Earth (RSE) on agricultural land. Improved mode "Viewing data of RSE" simplifies monitoring of agricultural areas at the expense of viewing maps of heterogeneity, requirements of nitrogen and matrixes of values of vegetation indexes simultaneously on several agricultural lands. The updated interface allows you quickly to switch data on the necessary dates for a more convenient study of the dynamics of changes in the properties of vegetation.
In the task "Satellite monitoring", the mode of fast viewing the remote sensing data before loading the matrixes of vegetation indexes has been improved. New options allow you to display values of indexes with a static legend, at which colors of values are predetermined for all range of index values and do not depend on a minimum and a maximum for a concrete contour of a field. The static legend clearly shows the change in vegetation indexes on a working area for different dates, makes it possible to compare vegetation development on the neighboring fields and allows to select quickly images for constructing maps of the differentiated application or the further analysis.
Vegetation indices are numerical indicators calculated on the basis of remote sensing data that reflect the amount of vegetation biomass. In a modern approach to the management of agricultural areas, vegetation indices are used for evaluation of the health of vegetation, a forecasting of crop yield and increase the efficiency of fertilizer application by creating maps of differential application. Complex of agronomic tasks supports an obtaining the main types of vegetation indices: NDVI, CVI, EVI, GNDVI and zoning maps for nitrogen and vegetation heterogeneity.
All modes of satellite monitoring work with database of "Panorama AGRO" and support a placing of data on the GIS Server for maintenance of collective multiuser access. The download source is the Geosys web service.

In GIS WebService SE the reliability of processing large volumes of spatial data is improved
In KB "Panorama" the GIS WebService SE version 12.6.0 is developed. In the new version a fault tolerance of execution of the user requests to the spatial data located on the GIS Server is increased. The speed of receiving a large volume of transactions has been increased. There is added a setting of internal server parameters - the number of simultaneously connected users, the number of critical errors in connecting to the service. Support for multithreaded drawing of projects is improved. Taking into account the parameters of elevations matrixes during the formation of tiles is implemented. Support of the maps is added that consist from insets (an array of geospatial data organized as nesting and limited by a frame).
In order to improve the interaction of the service with other clients, a setting has been added for interpretation of the input coordinates: latitude/longitude or longitude/latitude, both for the entire service and in individual requests. User interface for setting parameters for working with the service is improved.
GIS WebService SE supports all international standards (OGC WFS, WFS-T, WMS, WMTS, WCS), with the help of which the transmission and display of spatial data is carried out. The program has the ability to issue tiles by any user or local coordinate system. The application is implemented on Windows and Linux platforms, is compatible with Apache, IIS and nginx web servers.
The new version of the program and documentation are available on the website in the Download section.

Local Businesses Could Take a Bite Out of New Fast Food VAT Ruling!
The market for takeaways and fast food is booming as increasingly with our busy life styles we look for food on the go. In addition, across the South West tourism generates billions for the food and drink industry each year.
The market for takeaways and fast food is booming as increasingly with our busy life styles we look for food on the go. In addition, across the South West tourism generates billions for the food and drink industry each year. Now, as a result of a recent review of VAT legislation in the UK, hundreds of businesses across the Devon supplying fast food are considering submitting significant claims for VAT refunds.
Thomas Westcott are urging local businesses supplying fast food to obtain further advice following a recent European VAT ruling regarding what constitutes a supply of food (which may be zero-rated) and what constitutes a supply of catering, which is subject to VAT in the UK.
David Pegg, Thomas Westcotts VAT Partner and Specialist Consultant, is offering advice and an initial consultation to businesses confused as to how this potential change will affect them.
David said The VAT rules in the UK can be complicated and confusing for businesses, and a significant number of our clients within the food and drink sector are seeking clarification as to whether VAT should or should not be payable.
He added: The European Court has cast doubt over the UKs VAT treatment of hot take away food. It has ruled that where food is supplied for immediate consumption there is no supply of catering, simply a supply of food, which should not be subject to the standard rate of VAT (and may be zero-rated in the UK). In addition, it ruled that a supplier who only provides very limited facilities to enable a customer to consume a meal on their premises is also not making a supply of catering but a supply of food, and again some or all of the supply may be zero-rated in the UK.
There is the potential to make claims for VAT overpaid covering the last 4 years, but each case must be considered on its own merits as H M Revenue and Customs has announced that it does not consider that the European case impacts upon the UKs VAT position.

Q: Allow multiple users to fill form in MS Access or HTML Form based submission I'll summarize the operation to give you a background.
I've an Access database in place with forms wherein a user inputs with diverse fields. This file is hosted on a shared network for my organization. The database is split between backend and frontend.
Issue(s):
- Multiple user cannot access a single form and simultaneous entries are not allowed.
- In case, if the file is opened by mistake it will prevent to enable submissions for other users on the network.
I am not sure if this will work as I am a newbie in Access. But can we create a HTML based form which will fill the tables in Access? If yes, kindly help in creating one. If not, kindly suggest an alternative.
Sample table attributes:
Date Name Type Remark

A: This is the same type of setup I use at my company. We have one backend (all the tables) and a frontend (queries, forms, reports, etc). The way to allow multiple users to work with the database is to have each user run their own instance on their computer ie have them copy/paste the frontend to their local desktop. Another thing to keep in mind is that the tables must be set up with primary key and autonumber field to prevent users from accessing and editing the same record.

Q: Anyone have experience integrating with MYOB? Looking to integrate a web application with MYOB. There's not much in terms of documentation out there. I've found a couple of companies that provide middleware, but nothing promising. Just thought I'd see if anyone else out there has had experience with this and might be able to save me a bit of time.
Cheers

A: Depends what you want to do with the myob database.
Retrieve information is fairly easy, there is a myob odbc connector  you can install.
Write permission requires you to be a myob developer partner, costs you a lot more per year.
I did a job to synchronize data from MYOB db to MySql.  So all the updates in myob db is reflected in mysql, but not the other way around

A: You may want to wait...
MYOB is overhauling their 90's style application (netbios/etc), moving it to .net framework with an API (they said it would be done Q2 2009, moved to Q2 2010).
They have non complaint SQL syntax (insert/select), yes that's right only two keywords... (the idea is if you screw up the query, say to an invoice, you have to write a insert into the credit table)
Unfortunately, read/write functionality doesn't come with the MYOB licence. If I can remember correctly it was Read for AUD$250 one time and AUD$800yr for write permissions. Most companies can afford as it cuts down on labor.
The ODBC driver hard to use, because it executes the MYOB application and leaves it in the background. (you may want to create your own rest service to query)
