          # Google Cloud Datastore Admin API
          #
          #
          # The Datastore Admin API provides several admin services for Cloud Datastore.
          #
          # -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
          # ## Concepts
          #
          # Project, namespace, kind, and entity as defined in the Google Cloud Datastore
          # API.
          #
          # Operation: An Operation represents work being performed in the background.
          #
          # EntityFilter: Allows specifying a subset of entities in a project. This is
          # specified as a combination of kinds and namespaces (either or both of which
          # may be all).
          #
          # -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
          # ## Services
          #
          # # Export/Import
          #
          # The Export/Import service provides the ability to copy all or a subset of
          # entities to/from Google Cloud Storage.
          #
          # Exported data may be imported into Cloud Datastore for any Google Cloud
          # Platform project. It is not restricted to the export source project. It is
          # possible to export from one project and then import into another.
          #
          # Exported data can also be loaded into Google BigQuery for analysis.
          #
          # Exports and imports are performed asynchronously. An Operation resource is
          # created for each export/import. The state (including any errors encountered)
          # of the export/import may be queried via the Operation resource.
          #
          # # Index
          #
          # The index service manages Cloud Datastore composite indexes.
          #
          # Index creation and deletion are performed asynchronously.
          # An Operation resource is created for each such asynchronous operation.
          # The state of the operation (including any errors encountered)
          # may be queried via the Operation resource.
          #
          # # Operation
          #
          # The Operations collection provides a record of actions performed for the
          # specified project (including any operations in progress). Operations are not
          # created directly but through calls on other collections or resources.
          #
          # An operation that is not yet done may be cancelled. The request to cancel is
          # asynchronous and the operation may continue to run for some time after the
          # request to cancel is made.
          #
          # An operation that is done may be deleted so that it is no longer listed as
          # part of the Operation collection.
          #
          # ListOperations returns all pending operations, but not completed operations.
          #
          # Operations are created by service DatastoreAdmin,
          # but are accessed via service google.longrunning.Operations.
          #
          # To load this service and instantiate a client:
          #
          #     require "google/cloud/datastore/admin/v1/datastore_admin"

Adele Trademarks Her Own Name To Prevent People From Using It On Products
Smart move! Adele has trademarked her own name to prevent business owners from using it on their products to boost sales. It has been proven that whatever a celebrity slaps their name on,- whether it may be a fragrance bottle or a clothing line, it tends to become very successful, and Adele doesn't want people to misuse her name for something she hasn't agreed to.
The 'Set Fire to the Rain' singer doesn't want her loyal fans to be tricked into buying something that she has nothing to do with. Sources are also adding that this move will make it much easier for the 24-year old to file legal action against anyone who uses the name 'Adele' on products they plan to market.
A source had the following to say: "She doesn't want anyone exploiting her name by using it on products which may trick punters into thinking she's involved with it."
The singer's move to have her name trademarked comes just months after Beyonce and Jay-Z attempted to have the name 'Blue Ivy' trademarked so that other people wouldn't use their child's name on items. Sadly, their attempt fell through as it was denied.

Lloyd v Google...Will this Open the Floodgates?
Lloyd vs Google could become a seminal case in the future…or it maybe a false dawn. Without a shadow of a doubt it proves how seriously the Court of Appeal takes the fundamental right to privacy and data protection and regardless of how any appeal pans out, there will be a substantive hearing considering liability and, potentially, more importantly, quantum. Richard Cumbley, Georgina Kon and Julian Cunningham-Day of Linklaters set out the details behind the case and the critical legal aspects of it.
In short, a "workaround" that inserted tracking cookies without the users consent was found to be in breach of privacy laws and the representative action (a form of opt-out litigation) led to a claim on behalf of more than four million people with suggested compensation of £750 each – although this will be subject to much debate and assessment. This case and specifically the notion that "loss of control" without any pecuniary loss or distress, makes it very interesting and opens up the way for similar actions.
This extends not only to cases such as this where "workarounds" seem to have been engineered but will also potentially be valid in data loss cases where there is an obligation to notify individuals subject to the loss. As stated in the article "…here are likely to be representative actions brought against them, irrespective of their longer term merits, as a result of this decision." This will lead to a greater focus and need for the investigation of the facts behind any privacy breach or data loss and is another reason, along with GDPR, why organisations must take these issues seriously and respond appropriately.
This case arose out of the "Safari Workaround" - essentially Google's use of a technical workaround to bypass the cookie settings on the Safari browser and place tracking cookies without the individual's knowledge or consent. This was a clear breach of privacy laws by Google which was fined by US regulators. Mr Lloyd launched a representative action against Google for this breach...[which] is important as it is a form of "opt-out" litigation - the claim is made on behalf of everyone who is a member of a particular class of claimant. This opt-out structure allowed Mr Lloyd to claim on behalf of more than 4 million affected individuals in England and Wales. This could lead to significant liability. Mr Lloyd suggested they should receive approximately £750 compensation each, which indicates a total liability for Google of up to £3 billion.

Earn 26 Million in 2 Months – Grow Onions
Onions take just about two months to give you money from the day of planting. This means that with these short rains, you can still plant onions. One of Uganda's biggest imports from Tanzania are onions and there is a big market at the moment. Tanzania is the leading producer of onions in the region and it also supplies Kenya. And yet, onions can be grown in a wide range of climatic conditions, are quite hardy and can tolerate temperatures as low as -6°c. However, good bulb formation requires temperatures from 15.5°c with an optimum temperature of 21- 27°c. In Uganda, most of the large scale (five to 10 acres) onions are grown in Sebei region, which comprises Kapchorwa, Bukwo and Kween districts. They are also grown in Bulambuli, Sironko, Mbale in the southwest, areas around Kabale, Kisoro, Kanungu, Rukungiri, Kasese, Rubirizi and Kabarole. Low level production (with one to three acres) of onions is carried out in Mubende, Mityana, Luwero, Hoima, Masindi and Kamuli districts.
THE MONEY
An acre takes 2kg of onions at a cost of about sh1.6m-sh1.8m. The cost of labour and other farm inputs takes sh5m per season, making the cost of production about sh7m. The cost per acre includes the sh1.8m used to buy seeds, about sh1.5m for clearing and ploughing the land, sh2m for labour to transplant and general maintenance of the seedlings from the nursery to the main farm, plus sh1.5m on fertilisers such as lime. With a moderate 13 tonnes harvested at a moderate sh2,000 a kilogramme, the farm gives you sh26m. There are two seasons per year, and if the farmer uses irrigation, he can even have three seasons per year.
Joseph Gombya, an extension worker, said onions do best in well-drained soils that are at least 650mm deep, shallow soils may be utilised, but with proper adoptions in management practices. Examples of good management include proper transplanting, spacing and irrigation. Ensure a PH range of 6.02–6.8. Lower PH levels can result in problems with regard to fertilizer uptake since you have to put in a lot to effectively fertilize the soils. To tell the PH, you must take soil samples for testing to a recognized soil testing lab. You can take it to Kawanda, Kabanyoro, or any research center that is certified to carry out soil testing. A single test sample costs sh30,000. And this can be done at least before every planting season.
SEEDBED PREPARATION
On well-drained soil, prepare a fine and even seedbed. If you can afford, it is advisable to use seedling trays to ensure that little or no seed is lost during this process. Seedling trays can be bought from agri-input stores from sh5,000 for every 50 seedlings. The tray can be used several times. Alternatively, commercial plant raisers can help farmers raise healthy seedlings for use. These can sell each seedling at sh1,00. If the soil PH is less than 6 or the available calcium is less than 2,300kg per hectare, apply and incorporate agricultural lime at the rate of 2,500kg per hectare, about 8-12 weeks prior to planting. The total is around 50 bags of 50kg each. Each 50kg bag of lime costs sh30,000, which means that the farmer spends around sh1.5m on the lime. Lime requires at least two weeks to react with acid soil to raise the PH. Lime is applied once before planting.

Q: Avoiding incrementing in if statement in C++ I would like to avoid incrementing and decrementing in if-statement since there is a segmentation fault  error in the following code while checking conditions (if we start with p = 1 and k = 1 for example):
if (((heights[k--][p--] < heights[k][p]) || (heights[k--][p--] == heights[k][p])) &&
        ((heights[k--][p++] < heights[k][p]) || (heights[k--][p++] == heights[k][p])) &&
        ((heights[k++][p--] < heights[k][p]) || (heights[k++][p--] == heights[k][p])) &&
        ((heights[k++][p++] < heights[k][p]) || (heights[k++][p++] == heights[k][p]))){
                    width[k][p] = 3;
    }

For example, the second check fails with k = -1.
I would like to check neighbouring elements of a two-dimensional array heights in an if-statement and than run some logic in case it was true.
How can I optimise it and generally rewrite it to make it look (and work) better? I haven't found any information on it.

A: As others have indicated, replacing 'k--' with 'k-1' and 'k++' with 'k+1' for all 'k' and 'p' variables may resolve the segmentation error. 'k+1' is a reference to the next array index after 'k', while 'k++' increments the value of 'k' after it's used. It's also good programming practice to avoid using expressions as arguments.
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/operator_incdec
To clean up the code, you could also simplify the logical OR by replacing '<' with '<='.
if ((heights[k-1][p-1] <= heights[k][p]) &&
    (heights[k-1][p+1] <= heights[k][p]) &&
    (heights[k+1][p-1] <= heights[k][p]) &&
    (heights[k+1][p+1] <= heights[k][p])){
        width[k][p] = 3;
    }

A global fascist government is almost upon our world. Only the final stages remain to be assembled. The nature of this global state is economic totalitarianism. It is a new, far more widespread and powerful incarnation of Fascism, or a merger of government and economic power. The world has never faced a threat to democracy and self-government such as this one.
My main interest now is in educating citizens of the dire need for massive governmental and economic reforms on a systemic scale. It is our only hope to counter this threat. Only education, information and non-violent resistance can bring hope for a reversal of course. It will not be done by physical or military force.
First we must inform and educate ourselves about what is really happening to our world, and then find and apply solutions from all directions. We need "people-power", public opinion, and public mobilization of concerted peaceful actions, PACs, People's Lobbies, and pressure groups on all government levels.
We are facing a crisis of unimaginable proportions. We need similar sized solutions. I think I may have some answers, but we need more. If you have studied these problems then we need your input and ideas. If you are just trying to get your mind around it all, then stay tuned. I intend, God willing, to fill this site up with the research of many years. The ideas and ideals here will be the best I could find over my 70 years of life and learning.
I represent no special, financial or corporate interests, and always remain impartial and dispassionate, even in disagreement. Being a retired middle class schoolteacher and self-employed small businessman makes me a fairly ordinary citizen. My interest is for my family and fellow man and his greater good, health, and happiness. May we all seek and find hope and solutions for a better world, if not for today, then for tomorrow, and our children and grandchildren.
The best websites I have found for information and education on our current economic meltdown are listed below in my reading list. The best book is Web of Debt by Ellen H Brown.
Many more links will be added in the near future.
Thanks for tuning in. Hope you come back soon.


i had such a great time in nyc last week for the conference i attended for work. although ryan was not able to spend the whole week with me in the city, he was able to come in with me the day before the conference started so that we could spend the day together on saturday. one of the things that we have had on our nyc to-do list for years is the new york city transit museum. since it was a bit cool and breezy on saturday, it was the perfect day for the museum.
the museum is housed in a historic 1936 subway station in downtown brooklyn which i think is so clever. you actually enter the museum exactly how you would enter the subway station. it is the largest museum in the united states devoted to urban public transportation history. we absolutely loved the museum and had such a great time there. it was so much fun and really educational too!
we learned about how nyc's subway system was built over 100 years ago, and saw lots of photos and artifacts from when the subway system was being constructed back in 1901. there was a lot of information about what it takes to repair and restore the subway tunnels after natural disasters like hurricane sandy, as well as what happened to the subway system after the 911 terrorist attacks. it was really fascinating.
as we walked around the museum, we could not get over how many displays there were and how large the museum was. there was a whole exhibit showcasing various types of fare collection devices used throughout the subway system's history. i never knew there were so many different types of turnstiles, coins, and tokens.
we got to check out a working signal tower, and see nyc trolleys and buses too. by far though, our favorite part of the museum was the collection of vintage subway cars and elevated trains. it was so awesome that we got to check out all of those different trains up close and personal. the best thing about this museum is that it is all hands on, so you get to touch and walk through everything, which is so cool! if you're ever in brooklyn, be sure to check out the museum!
That looks like a really exciting museum to visit. A lot of cool things to see and try.
It looks like you had a great time. I really like that little old-fashioned trolley car.


Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is the most common injury to befall runners and as such poses a huge barrier to exercise. Despite its prevalence, PFPS remains poorly understood and treated, with up to 90% of cases recalcitrant to therapy. An increased magnitude of knee valgus when running has been linked to patellofemoral pain syndrome, with this position proposed to increase joint contact pressure on the lateral aspect of the patellofemoral joint and cause pain. Accordingly, clinicians will commonly assess the magnitude of knee valgus when treating runners with PFPS. Accurately assessing running gait requires skill, equipment and time however, and as a consequence dynamic tests such the single leg squat are used instead. The movement patterns of the single leg squat are proposed to be similar to those when running, thus magnitude of knee valgus during a single leg squat is proposed to correlate with running knee valgus and offer some predictive value. The evidence supporting this correlation is in healthy runners only and it is unclear whether this can be extrapolated to a symptomatic population. This study aimed to investigate whether a correlation exists between knee valgus when running and performing a single leg squat in asymptomatic runners and runners with PFPS. Sixteen asymptomatic runners (asymptomatic group) and sixteen runners with patellofemoral pain syndrome (symptomatic group) were recruited. The asymptomatic group was subdivided by leg dominance and the symptomatic group was subdivided by 'painful' and 'non-painful' leg to give four distinct sub-groups. Participants were videoed performing single leg squats and running on a treadmill at a self-selected pace. Knee valgus magnitude was calculated using the frontal plane projection angle (FPPA). The strength of correlation between FPPA for running and single leg squat was calculated using Pearson's Correlation Coefficient for each of the four sub-groups. Differences in FPPA between the sub-groups for both running and single leg squat were calculated using an ANOVA and subsequent Independent T-Tests as indicated. The study found that the correlation in FPPA between running and the single leg squat was not statistically significant for the painful leg (symptomatic group (r=0.34, p=0.19)) but was for the remaining three sub-groups (p<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in FPPA between the four sub-groups when running. Single leg squat FPPA was larger for the painful leg (symptomatic group (10.3°)) than the dominant (−0.2° (p=0.02)) and non-dominant leg (−0.4° (p=0.001)) in the asymptomatic group. This study suggests that the single leg squat cannot be used to predict the magnitude of knee valgus in runners with patellofemoral pain syndrome and refutes this current clinical practice. The significant correlation in the asymptomatic group supports previous research using this group. The lack of a statistically significant difference in running knee valgus between the sub-groups may suggest that the mechanisms for developing PFPS are not simply driven by an increased magnitude of knee valgus.


But music companies live in hope. The latest sign: Executives at major labels have taken meetings with Snapchat in recent months, according to two people familiar with the matter.
It's not known what the meetings were focused on and so far no arrangements have been made about licensing for any Snapchat music service. But Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel has been public about his company's deep interest in music, saying in one recent interview that music is a medium where Snapchat can offer something "differentiated" as it has with photo and video messaging.
For label executives, the drawback about the Discover model being used to distribute original music is it could mark the introduction of yet another ad-supported music service.

King Salman to Patronize Inauguration Ceremony of 'Janadriyah 31'
by Asharq Al-Awsat | Jan 31, 2017 | Saudi Arabia |
Riyadh-Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud will patronize on Wednesday the opening ceremony of the National Festival for Heritage and Culture "Janadriyah 31" and the annual camel race that are organized by the Ministry of National Guard.
King Salman sent an invitation to Sultan Qaboos bin Said Al-Said of Oman to attend the inauguration ceremony.
The invitation letter was delivered to Sayyid Assad Bin Tariq al-Saeed, on behalf of the Sultan of Oman, by Eid Bin Mohammed al-Thaqafi, Saudi Ambassador to Oman.
For his part, Minister of National Guard and President of the Supreme Committee of the festival Prince Mutaib bin Abdullah extended his gratitude for the King for patronizing the annual event.
Meanwhile, the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques received at al-Yamamah Palace in Riyadh on Monday Serbian Deputy Premier Rasim Ljajic, Minister of Trade and Tourism and Communications and Chairman of the Serbian economic delegation and Deputy Premier of Bosnia and Herzegovina Mirko Markovic, Minister of Foreign Trade and Economic Relations and Chairman of the Bosnian economic delegation.
During the meeting, they discussed existing relations between Saudi Arabia, Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina along with prospects of promoting and bolstering bilateral cooperation, particularly in trade and economic fields.
The meeting was attended by Prince Sultan bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, Dr. Musaed al-Aiban, Dr. Ibrahim al-Assaf, Dr. Adel al-Turaifi, Dr. Nizar Madani and Saudi Ambassador to Bosnia, Herzegovina and Serbia Hani Momina in addition to other officials from the two countries.
Earlier on Monday, King Salman also received Ambassador of Spain to the Saudi Arabia Joaquin Perez, who bid farewell to the King on the occasion of the end of his tenure as his country's ambassador to Riyadh.
The reception was attended by Minister of State and Cabinet's Member Dr. Musaed Mohammed al-Aiban; Minister of State and Cabinet's Member Dr. Ibrahim Abdulaziz al-Assaf; Minister of Culture and Information Dr. Adel Zaid al-Turaifi and Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Dr. Nizar Obaid Madani.
Furthermore, under the patronage of King Salman, the General Authority of Meteorology and Environmental Protection will organize in Jeddah, between April 3 and 5, 2017, the 6th GCC International Forum and Exhibition on Environment and Sustainable Development under the theme 'Environmental Technology Transfer.'


Total spending will rise at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4% over the next five years, but with sharp differences among industry segments and sectors within them and across territories.
The fastest growth will be in digitally driven segments, with virtual reality leading the way, followed by over-the-top content (OTT).
E-sports will be the second fastest-growing segment if it were separated from the overall Video games and e-sports segment.
By contrast, newspapers and magazines will see declines in revenues to 2022.
Today's rapidly evolving media ecosystem is experiencing a new and different wave of convergence. To succeed in the future that's taking shape, companies must reenvision every aspect of what they do and how they do it.

Here is a list of 7 secrets, which you can keep in mind in order to move properly into your new apartment and focus on the repairs which are often needed with a new house.
Before you move into a new apartment, it is extremely important to get rid of the items that you do not want to keep. Otherwise, you will have to deal with frustration while you are trying to settle down in your new apartment. In fact, dealing with unwanted clutter and repair at your new apartment can be a headache. Therefore, you may need to do some cleaning, as well as recycling and disposal of unwanted items.
It would be a good idea to hire a local moving company, instead of trying to go through the process on your own. Moving is not an easy thing to do as you may know. A residential moving company can provide an end to end assistance to you with your move. The moving company would even keep your belongings in a storage facility, until you completethe repairs and renovations in the new home.
Pack all your belongings in the packing boxes and label them properly so that it would beeasier to unpack. Know what needs to be unpacked first. Some moving companies provide packing services as well which could save you a lot of time.
Before you place furniture in your new apartment, carefully inspect the floor and look for any damages. You will not be able to fix those damages after placing your furniture. Consider hiring a flooring professional to inspect the floor than either fixing it or installing a new floors from laminate, hardwood or other materials.
Painting your new apartment is something that you must do before moving in. If you haven't brought any of your belongings to the new home, you can easily prime it and paint it with minimum hassle.
You are moving to a new apartment and it should offer a brand new experience to you. Therefore, you need to get in touch with a windows cleaning company and get your windows cleaned as well. This can help you settle down in your new apartment with a peace of mind.
Last but not least, you need to get your gutters cleaned. If an issue in your gutters arises, you will have to go through a lot of trouble in order to fix it. But when you want a complete renovation to your home, you will have to think about gutter cleaning as well because it can keep you away from unwanted problem in the future.

Eliminations for WCG 2001 in Poland took place in internet cafes in 50 cities with 50 players qualifying for Warsaw finals. You probably won't believe it, but we've competed against computers and player that scored highest qualified in given city. Only one player qualified in each city, so in big cities where there were several good players, they agreed with each other to which cities they would go for qualifications. Three best players from the Warsaw finals went to Seoul for world finals.
In these times I was able to win with the best, however on the day of WCG 2001 finals in Warsaw I performed poorly. I didn't get any sleep on the night before as I was traveling in the night and I've had stomach problems just before the games, so I couldn't really focus. After that event I haven't played much or seriously in StarCraft anymore, so that was all of my "progaming" experience. I've played with the best in Poland, so in the end I've had fun.
The first Word Cyber Games was held in 2000, but in Poland the first WCG was in 2001. There were 33 countries participating in the second WCG 2001, but what is surprising they called it "the 1st World Cyber Games" as seen on the poster below. I guess they realized that it wasn't "world" when there were only 16 countries invited to WCG 2000.
Yes, that's Blackman - middle row, second from the right. I've played zvz with him... and lost BlackMan wasn't top 3 that year.. he was real good, but I guess he was unlucky as well. If I recall correctly he went to Korea the next year or so.
Cool, thanks for sharing your moments!


The Oppo R9s is due to get another color option to complement the existing black and two shades of gold. Revealed by a post on Weibo, the new version is in a brilliant red color and will be available in China before the end of the year, the source claims.
The report doesn't say anything about hardware changes (not that a new color mandates any), but the R9s is already a pretty nice package as it is. A FullHD 5.5-inch AMOLED display, 14nm 4K-capable Snapdragon 625 chipset, and 16MP cameras front and back will almost make you forget that Oppo hasn't had a true flagship since the Find 7 more than two and a half years ago.
The Oppo R9s is priced at CNY 2,799 in its homeland (about $400), and there's no reason why the red version should be any different. It's also unclear whether the new color will be available globally.


Louisiana drivers could get charged with a DWI with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08% or higher, whether they were driving erratically or not. Drunk driving victims are legally entitled to sue for compensation that covers medical costs for injuries caused by a DUI accident, as well as pain and suffering and lost wages. In addition, plaintiffs may sue for millions of dollars in punitive damages that are designed to send a message to the perpetrator: that it pays to stop and think before getting behind the wheel intoxicated.
Depending on the circumstances surrounding the case, sellers and distributors of alcohol prior to the crash can also be held liable. Contact a Louisiana DUI attorney at the Bart Bernard Personal Injury Firm for a free case evaluation.
The legal definition of "Driving Under the Influence" (DUI) of drugs or alcohol, or "Driving While Intoxicated" (DWI) with alcohol varies from state to state. Some states differentiate between the two terms with greater penalties for driving while intoxicated, but Louisiana punishes both as the same crime.
Under Louisiana's "Zero Tolerance" policy, minors under 21 can be charged if they have a Blood Alcohol Concentration of 0.02%. Drivers 21 and older will be charged with DWI with BACs of 0.08% or higher. Commercial drivers are held to a higher standard, with convictions starting at 0.04% nationwide.
Mandatory interlock laws have been effective. Louisiana has curtailed drunk driving 36% since 2007 since passing a measure requiring convicted DUI offenders to have a breathalyzer and interlock device installed on their vehicles, preventing them from driving their own cars drunk.
Laws are getting tougher. In 2015, an update to Louisiana law punishes first time DWI offenders with a minimum of 10 days in jail with 32 hours of community service and a $250 fine. A second offense carries a minimum jail sentence of 30 days.
Thousands of drunk drivers are arrested each year. In 2015, 7,500 motorists were arrested for drunk driving. The highest number of arrests occurs between Christmas and New Year's Day.
There are hundreds of DUI accident victims. From 2003-2012, 3,046 people were killed in crashes involving a drunk driver. That's more than 300 deaths per year attributed to DUI.
29% report using alcohol in the last month.
Businesses and Party Hosts: A skilled DUI lawyer can also go after the bar, retailer, or homeowner responsible for furnishing the driver with drinks, even though it was apparent the individual was already intoxicated. These are referred to as "dram shop laws," which establish that people selling or distributing alcohol to the public have a general "duty of care" that can lead to damages if breached.
Employers: In cases where commercial drivers were intoxicated, employers can be sued for ignoring past history of substance abuse or for failing to routinely test their drivers.
Auto manufacturers and Technicians: Vehicle recalls and known safety risks with vehicle components may play a part in a drunk driving accident.
Non-impaired Motorists: Sometimes other drivers on the road act inappropriately, which contributes to the accident.
Local Municipalities: Roads with large pot holes or unsafe construction zones can be traced back to the city, county or state as partially liable for some crashes, whether alcohol was involved or not.
Being a "Fault State," Louisiana insurance follows a system where whoever is legally "at fault" for causing the accident is liable for paying the personal injury and property damage resulting from the crash.
For most crashes, the negligent driver's car insurance would compensate the victim for damages related to the accidental or even negligent and reckless conduct that causes an accident. However, most policies specifically exclude coverage for "intentional conduct"– which includes drunk driving – that will knowingly lead to harm.
In some cases, victims may qualify to use their own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage (UIM) when the at-fault driver cannot pay. However, the cap on this type of coverage is usually only $15,000 – and most medical bills exceed this amount by far. That is why it is necessary to seek the help of a drunk driving accident lawyer.
Compensation may limited if you suffered a soft tissue neck or back injury with no visibly documented damage that resolved itself in the course of a few months. It may also be reduced if you were somehow at-fault or determined negligent.
Bart Bernard is an experienced drunk driving accident lawyer in Louisiana with a strong track record of successful settlements and verdicts in cases where alcohol impairment produced serious injuries and/or wrongful death. It costs nothing to speak with an attorney about your case, whether you were a drunk driving accident victim, a passenger in a drunk driver's car, or the loved one of an injured victim.

Cheap Car Hire in Vancouver
Vancouver Information
Vancouver Car Hire
Vancouver Airport
Vancouver is a coastal city located in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, Canada. It is named for British Captain George Vancouver, who explored the area in the 1790s. The name Vancouver itself originates from the Dutch "van Coevorden," denoting somebody from Coevorden, a city in the Netherlands.
The largest metropolitan area in Western Canada, Vancouver ranks third largest in the country and the city proper ranks eighth.
Logging sawmills established in 1867 in the area known as Gastown became the nucleus around which the townsite grew, and Vancouver was incorporated as a city in 1886. By 1887, the transcontinental railway was extended to the city to take advantage of its large natural seaport, which soon became a vital link in a trade route between the Orient, Eastern Canada, and London. The Port Metro Vancouver is now the busiest and largest in Canada, as well as the fourth largest port (by tonnage) in North America. While forestry remains its largest industry, Vancouver is well known as an urban centre surrounded by nature, making tourism its second largest industry. It also is the third largest film production centre in North America after Los Angeles and New York City, earning it the nickname Hollywood North.
Vancouver has ranked highly as "most livable city" in the world for more than a decade according to business magazine assessments. It has hosted many international conferences and events, including the 1976 United Nations Conference on Human Settlements and the 1986 World Exposition on Transportation and Communication. The 2010 Winter Olympics and 2010 Winter Paralympics will be held in Vancouver and nearby Whistler, a resort community 125 km (78 miles) north of the city.

Vancouver is served by Vancouver International Airport (YVR), located on Sea Island in the City of Richmond, immediately south of Vancouver. Vancouver's airport is Canada's second busiest airport, and the second largest gateway on the west coast of North America for international passengers. HeliJet and float plane companies operate scheduled air service from Vancouver harbour and YVR south terminal. The city is also served by two BC Ferry terminals. One is to the northwest at Horseshoe Bay (in West Vancouver), and the other is to the south, at Tsawwassen (in Delta).

Article: Call to probe Pravin Gordhan over SARS spy saga – KPMG report confirms our story piles pressure on ex-finance minister
Bid to keep report under wraps
Taxmen's braai with prostitutes 'not a brothel' – SARS official denies running sex club as part of spy operation, and
Keep shady doings in SARS out in the open
Author of article: Piet Rampedi, Mzilikazi wa Afrika and Stephan Hofstatter
Respondent: Susan Smuts, legal editor of the Sunday Times
He complains about a series of texts published in Sunday Times of 4 October 2015, headlined:
· Call to probe Pravin Gordhan over SARS spy saga – KPMG report confirms our story piles pressure on ex-finance minister (front-page article, running over to page 2);
· Bid to keep report under wraps (front-page side-bar);
· Taxmen's braai with prostitutes 'not a brothel' – SARS official denies running sex club as part of spy operation (story on page 2); and
· Keep shady doings in SARS out in the open (editorial on page 16).
Notes: The stories, and the complaint, are about the establishment of an investigative unit which Sunday Times termed a "rogue" unit. This unit had several names, a matter which is of no material interest to this finding. The panel therefore uses the word "unit" to refer to one or more of them.
Mr Ivan Pillay, also a former employee of SARS, complained about the same matter. The hearing accommodated both Pillay and Van Loggerenberg. Their complaints largely overflow, and it is possible that a minor aspect not included in one of their complaints is ascribed to the other person. The panel believes that this is immaterial, inter alia also as Husain represented both complainants.
The panel suggests that its findings regarding Pillay and Van Loggerenberg may be read in conjunction with one another.
Earlier stories; other issues
Van Loggerenberg argues that the articles in dispute should not be seen in isolation from others dating back to 10 August 2014, because the:
· editor linked these stories in the editorial comment;
· newspaper referred to the matter as "our story" that had been confirmed and vindicated (referring to earlier stories); and
· essence of the allegations made against him mirrored allegations published earlier.
At the hearing, the panel explained that it could not accept complaints about the earlier stories, as these were way out of time. However, the members undertook to take cognizance of the content of those articles for the sake of context and understanding of the stories currently in dispute.
All the parties accepted this decision.
Referring to the earlier stories, Van Loggerenberg says the newspaper coined the phrase "rogue unit" for the unit which was his responsibility, and published their pictures.
Leading up to the October 4 stories, it was alleged that the Sunday Times inaccurately reported that:
· the unit was unlawfully or illegally formed – despite the fact that the Labour Court found on 8 December 2014 (in a ruling on an application brought by Pillay against his suspension) that the Minister of Finance at the time, Mr Trevor Manuel, and the then Commissioner of SARS, Mr Pravin Gordhan, had approved the creation of the unit in 2007 (the latter was said to be on record that the unit was legally established and functioned in support of the SARS mandate with great success);
· both he and SARS had denied the existence of the unit – with nothing to substantiate such a statement and despite various media reports to the contrary, and despite a reference in a book, published in 2012, which referred to the unit, attributed it to SARS, and stated its purpose;
· he had bugged people and specifically the home of Mr Jacob Zuma (before he became President), that the unit "infiltrated" politicians as bodyguards, that he had admitted or confessed that he ran a rogue unit, that he had spied on taxpayers, and that he bought "spy ware" in excess of R500-million – all without any proof;
· the unit and he had something to do with the deaths of former SARS officials; and
· slush funds in excess of R500-million were available for the unit's use.
This list is seemingly endless – but the picture is clear enough.
The panel allowed the following issues to be tabled, for the sake of the complete picture, without the intention of taking it into account for the purposes of this finding:
· Pearlie Joubert's sworn affidavit, in which she alleges that Sunday Times was involved in practices she believed to be "unethical and immoral" (specifically regarding the matter with which the complaint is dealing). She stated that she had resigned from the newspaper because of that. The panel is of the view that this matter is relevant for background and context – however, we note that this affidavit has not been tested in court, and therefore we are not taking its contents into account for this finding;
· The accusation that the then editor-in-chief, Phylicia Oppelt, had been used from 2013 onwards by her former husband (Mr Rudolf Mastenbroek) who, it is claimed, has instigated many of the storylines that have since appeared in the Sunday Times. This is not a matter for the panel to decide, as it falls outside its jurisdiction (even if Mastenbroek, as a source, had a vested interest in the matter). The panel has no way of establishing whether the claim is true – and if it is, whether or not Mastenbroek's information was correct; and
· Van Loggerenberg was constrained in responding to the merits of all the allegations contained in the Sunday Times reports by statutory provisions and other agreements containing blanket bans on his ability to disclose taxpayer information and organisational information, and by lack of access to SARS records – that is his problem, not that of the newspaper.
The reportage of other publications, allegedly with an "alternative narrative", was not tabled. Such reporting cannot serve as a yardstick for determining the truth or otherwise of an allegation. Issues related to Mr Ronnie Kasrils could also not be entertained, as these fell outside the scope of the complaint.
Also, this finding will take only the bare essentials into account as far as Gordhan is concerned – he has lodged his own complaint, and the Ombudsman will deal separately with those matters.
Lastly, Van Loggerenberg goes to great lengths to explain that the investigation processes prior to the KPMG report (see below) were flawed and that he never had an opportunity to put his side of the case. Again, this falls outside the panel's mandate as its one and only objective is to adjudicate the reportage by the newspaper – and not the actions of any board or investigative committee.
The complaint in a nutshell
Van Loggerenberg's complaint comprises of 92 pages. What follows is a cryptic synopsis of this documentation.
He namely:
· questions the legitimacy and standing of a report by auditing firm KPMG – he says that the newspaper was too reliant on its findings without questioning its methods and legality, and the publication indeed needed to query the mere existence of such a report (which could have been falsified);
· complains that the articles falsely insinuated or alleged that he, and some of his sub-ordinates, were guilty of a number of misdemeanours, unlawful actions and general misconduct – such as that he had:
o tried to conceal the unit's existence;
o misled official enquiries into it;
o been part of a break-in into the house of Mr Jacob Zuma, when bugging devices were planted to spy on him;
o been part of the illegal establishment of the unit (as, he says, Gordhan declared the unit's establishment to be legal, it was unfair and inaccurate to call it a "rogue unit".)
He also complains that the newspaper was not justified in stating that the KPMG report had "vindicated" its reportage.
More specifically, he complains that the:
· the story admitting that no SARS brothel existed, did not exonerate him;
· editorial made several incorrect or misleading statements;
· journalists did not:
o make any attempt to verify the allegations in the KPMG document;
o afford him reasonable time to respond to the allegations, and did not reflect most of his response to the journalist;
o obtain its information legally, honestly and fairly;
· newspaper was not in pursuit of public interest, but rather was motivated by non-professional and personal considerations (conflict of interests); and
· texts violated his rights to dignity and reputation – with some dire consequences for his ability to earn a livelihood and causing distress to his family, friends and former colleagues.
All the articles (except the editorial), were written by Piet Rampedi, Mzilikazi wa Afrika and Stephan Hofstatter.
The front-page story said former Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan should face a probe into whether he knew that a rogue unit at SARS had been spying on taxpayers. Reportedly, this was a recommendation in a KPMG report submitted to SARS commissioner Tom Moyane. The newspaper story stated that this confirmed its earlier reports that the unit had been "engaged in unlawful interception of communication".
"The report, seen by Sunday Times reporters, reveals that SARS blew more than R106-million in taxpayers' money running 'a covert and rogue-intelligence unit' that spied on South Africans, and then repeatedly lied about its existence to the public."
The article also stated that the KPMG report said that SARS needed to engage the Office of the Public Protector and apologise for misleading it.
The journalists reported, "SARS officials under the tenure of former SARS deputy commissioner Ivan Pillay told the public protector the rogue unit did not exist. '[This] constitutes possible criminal liability to mislead the Office of the Public Protector,' the report says."
With reference to the unit, the journalists quoted the KPMG report as saying that:
· it had reported to Pillay "during the entire life span of its existence";
· it had operated outside the normal controls, protocols and over-sight structures of SARS;
· agents of the unit had been referred to as "ghost employees";
· agents had unlawfully intercepted communications of taxpayers;
· agents had unlawfully monitored, recorded and transcribed recordings at National Prosecuting Authority offices on his (Pillay's) instructions; and
· Pillay had established the unit at the time Gordhan had been commissioner of SARS.
The side-bar stated that "strong lobbying" was taking place behind the scenes to classify as top secret the "explosive" KPMG report "exposing shenanigans" at SARS. Two sources reportedly told the newspaper that Deputy Finance Minister Mcebisi Jonas had been leading a campaign to have the report classified. One source said the move was a bid to save SARS's reputation and protect key former officials – including Pillay. "[Sunday Times] reporters have had sight of the damning, 139-page KPMG report which details the rogue unit's unlawful activities between 2006, when it was established, and [2014], when it was shut down."
The story on page 2, denying the existence of a SARS brothel (as previously reported), did not mention Van Loggerenberg.
The editorial said the newspaper's continued reporting on the existence of a rogue unit were corroborated from three independent quarters – a report by Adv Muzi Sikhakhane, an advisory board under the leadership of retired judge Frank Kroon, and now a report by auditing firm KPMG.
The complaint in more detail
Legitimacy, standing of the KPMG report
Van Loggerenberg questions the legitimacy and standing of the KPMG report – he says that the newspaper was too reliant on the findings without questioning its methods and legality, and the publication indeed needed to query the very existence of such a report (which could have been falsified).
He says in the week prior to publication Sunday Times met with an "anonymous source", who was in the pay of SARS, and the journalist was shown pieces of paper supposedly containing findings of a KPMG forensic investigation.
Van Loggerenberg says the newspaper made no effort to determine the authenticity of the document, made no effort to corroborate whether indeed the papers constituted the findings of a KPMG forensic investigation, and made no attempt to determine the veracity of the claims made in these pieces of paper. "Instead, Sunday Times takes these allegations, and presents them to the public as is, verbatim, and attribute them to KPMG."
He adds that the newspaper made no effort to ascertain whether any of these "findings" could be attributed to the unit or to him – knowing full well that they represented only the side of a destructive faction hailing from SARS.
Smuts replies that all the articles were based on a report prepared by KPMG; the articles merely repeated the findings contained in this document – which in any event largely agreed with the findings by Sikhakhane and Kroon.
She says that Rampedi obtained access to the report. Only eight copies had been produced and each had a watermark identifying the receiver. The journalist was therefore unable to take a copy with him as this would have identified his source. This person produced an executive summary which he or she gave to Rampedi. She says the journalist checked the summary against the report to confirm its accuracy. He also took a photograph of the document. "We submit that…the summary is accurate," she states.
Stories: Guilty of several misdemeanours
Van Loggerenberg complains that the articles falsely insinuated or alleged, among other things, that they (and some of their sub-ordinates) were guilty of a number of misdemeanors, unlawful actions and general misconduct – such as that he had:
o been part of a break-in into the house of Mr Jacob Zuma, when bugging devices were planted there to spy on him;
Smuts points the panel to the following sections of the summary of the KPMG report to motivate the newspaper's case on several counts (which largely speak for themselves). She mentions this in connection with Pillay's complaint, but what follows is also relevant as far as Van Loggerenberg is concerned:
· 1.2.1: "[A] covert and rogue intelligence unit in contravention of the rule of law was established in SARS";
· 1.2.10: "The unit operated outside the normal controls, protocols and oversight structures. Members of the unit were inter alia referred to as ghost employees";
· 1.2.11: "The unit engaged in unlawful interception of communications";
· 1.2.12: "[T]he unit unlawfully monitored, intercepted communication, recorded and transcribed recordings at the National Prosecuting Authority (hereafter referred to as the NPA) offices. The SARS intelligence gathering exercise at the NPA was known as 'Operation Sunday Evenings' and was aimed at gathering intelligence in the criminal investigation of the late Mr Jackie Selebi… The reports, transcription and recordings were handed to Pillay for his consideration";
· 1.2.16: "Pertinent members of SARS misled the State Security, the Public Protector and the general public with regard to the existence of the rogue and covert unit…"; and
· 2.8.3: "SARS needs to engage the office of the Public Protector and apologise for misleading her office. It constitutes possible criminal liability to mislead the office of the Public Protector." (As Pillay was at all relevant times the deputy or acting commissioner of SARS, the officials who lied about the existence of the unit did so under his tenure).
· Van Loggerenberg attests that Gordhan has declared the unit's establishment to be legal (against claims by three investigative bodies that the establishment of the Investigation Unit was unlawful, as claimed by the newspaper).
He adds that since March 2008 until his resignation, he was inter alia responsible for the unit. Gordhan has on multiple occasions stated publicly that the unit had been formed lawfully and, during its active service, served the interests of SARS, the fiscus and South Africa. "To refer to the unit as 'rogue' is offensive, defamatory and wholly inappropriate when referring to civil servants who have served their country proudly and with great distinction."
The important point, Smuts argues, is that SARS had never acknowledged the existence of an unlawful unit, or a unit engaging in unlawful activity. The rogue unit was hiding in plain sight behind a façade of licit purpose.
She notes that Section 54 of the Sikhakhane report made it clear that the existence of the unit was not volunteered to them until it was revealed in the media. "It is clear that the people involved in the rogue unit were at pains to conceal its existence/its purpose/its activities, especially to the extent that these were unlawful… There would be no controversy over a legitimately established unit that fulfilled its purpose lawfully. However, one that was illegitimately established, or one that was legitimately established but later went rogue, would be a different matter."
On the Zuma matter, Smuts says that the story referred to a previous article in which it was stated that members of the unit broke into his house and planted listening devices.
'Vindicated'
Van Loggerenberg complains that the stories have omitted material information to justify the statement that the KPMG report had "vindicated" its reportage.
He also lists some issues which, he says, should have been reported to render the necessary balance and fairness to the articles. It is necessary to list all of these in order to determine whether this part of the complaint holds water. He says the newspaper reported that the unit had:
· been formed illegally;
· bugged people, and especially Zuma;
· broken into Zuma's house;
· infiltrated politicians;
· spied on taxpayers;
· operated a brothel;
· something to do with the deaths of former SARS officials, Messrs Nkadimeng and Radebe;
· the unit had slush funds in excess of R500-million;
· owned, used and bought "spy ware" in excess of R500-million;
· used CCTV to spy on Mr Radebe;
· spied on Radebe, Zuma and Jackie Selebi;
· intercepted taxpayers' communications;
· operated front companies; and
· been involved in underhanded, unlawful or illegal taxpayer settlements.
He adds to this list the allegations that:
· SARS denied the existence of the unit;
· he was an apartheid spy; and
· his charity received donations, in particular from taxpayers under investigation or who are service providers to SARS.
Van Loggerenberg concludes, "Very little of the 'our story' that pertains to me is covered by the alleged 'KPMG report'." Zuma, he says, was part of this "story". He asks if that was confirmed.
Smuts says that not all of these issues were covered in the KPMG report (which is why the stories did not include them) and denies that the statement in dispute was unjustified.
To the extent that Van Loggerenberg takes issue with the findings by KPMG, or indeed with those of other bodies that have investigated him and/or the rogue unit, she submits that the proper course of action would be to challenge those investigations.
"To attack us for reporting on investigations into vital organs of state such as SARS – when such matters have an unassailable public interest – is a classic case of shooting the messenger."
Van Loggerenberg complains that an earlier story had implicated him in an allegation that SARS had owned a brothel, but the follow-up article did not exonerate him as his name was not mentioned.
Editorial: Misleading statements
The editorial stated the newspaper's articles were corroborated from three different sources – Sikhakhane, an advisory board under the leadership of retired judge Frank Kroon, and the KPMG report, which all said that the unit had been established illegally.
Van Loggerenberg complains that the editorial made several incorrect or misleading statements regarding him.
Smuts argues that the newspaper had to face unbridled criticism from many quarters, including from Van Loggerenberg. It is therefore understandable that it expressed the view that it had been vindicated.
No proper verification
Article 2.4 of the Press Codes states, "Where there is reason to doubt the accuracy of a report and it is practicable to verify the accuracy thereof, it shall be verified. Where it has not been practicable to verify the accuracy of a report, this shall be stated in such report".
Van Loggerenberg says the journalists did not properly verify the veracity of the allegations made against him.
Smuts denies that the newspaper was under any obligation to verify the contents of the report (which was in the public interest) with Van Loggerenberg. "What his right was, was to be heard by those panels," she argues.
She also argues that it is unreasonable to expect the newspaper to verify the KPMG report. "If we were required to independently verify all such reports then very few of these would see the light of day. KPMG is an international auditing firm with a good reputation. It is reasonable to report on its findings. We would have done so even if the findings were contrary to our previous reports. This is because the investigation dealt with an ongoing matter of vital public interest."
In his response to Smuts's reply to his complaint, Van Loggerenberg argues that she admitted that a single, anonymous source had compiled the executive summary. It was also not signed, the pages were not numbered, and the story referred to a report (and not to a summary).
He adds that nowhere in that document is KPMG mentioned – in fact, the "summary" is virtually a verbatim copy of a document compiled by attorneys for SARS, dated 21 August 2015. Furthermore, Commissioner Moyane has stated on record that the KPMG report had not been finalised. That is why the journalist should have corroborated whether the information did indeed come from KPMG.
The panel agrees with Smuts – it would create an untenable situation if the press was expected to verify the contents of a report such as this one.
No reasonable time to respond; response not properly reported
Van Loggerenberg complains that the newspaper did not afford him reasonable time to respond to the allegations made against him.
The day before the stories in dispute were published, Hofstatter sent Van Loggerenberg an SMS text message at 09:29, requesting him to provide a response by 14:00 that same day. He posed seven questions which required of Van Loggerenberg to recall events as far back as 2001.
"In my reply, I indicated that the time period afforded me was insufficient to formulate a complete and meaningful response. I replied nevertheless because of my past experience with Sunday Times insofar articles concerning the very same subject dating back to 10 August 2014. Sunday Times has consistently twisted and misquoted me in virtually every single article published in this regard. As a fact, Sunday Times would typically ask me on the Friday late, just before the pending article set for the Sunday, alternatively on the Saturday before, or in some cases not at all. In virtually none of these instances was I able to first consult with my lawyer."
Van Loggerenberg says the journalist did not provide him with the KPMG report (the subject of Hofstatter's questions) – so, he found himself in the "impossible position" of having to defend himself against allegations contained in a report he was not allowed to see and while he was not even sure that it existed.
He adds that Hofstatter asked him seven questions, but only three of his responses were reflected in the stories.
Smuts submits that the newspaper gave Van Loggerenberg a right of reply to the allegations levelled at him, and in fact also reflected a significant proportion of his response in the article.
The panel gives the newspaper the benefit of the doubt as to the question whether the journalist gave Van Loggerenberg a reasonable time to respond – the fact is that Van Loggerenberg did find the time to respond to all the questions. However, the journalist should have provided him with a copy of the summary that he had at his disposal.
Information not obtained legally, honestly, fairly
Article 1.1 of the Press Code states, "[N]ews should be obtained legally, honestly and fairly, unless public interest dictates otherwise".
The complaint is that the journalists have not obtained their information legally, honestly and fairly.
Smuts denies this. "We also rely on public interest to protect our disclosure of the information concerned."
The panel: The matter did not get much attention at the hearing. Be that as it may, the Press Code does allow publications to obtain their information illegally – if there is no other way to obtain the data and the matter is in the public interest (Section 1.1 of the Code).
Non-professional, personal considerations
Section 3.1 of the Press Code states, "The press shall not allow commercial, political, personal or other non-professional considerations to influence or slant reporting. Conflicts of interest must be avoided, as well as arrangements or practices that could lead audiences to doubt the press's independence and professionalism."
Van Loggerenberg complains that the newspaper was not in pursuit of public interest but, rather, was motivated by non-professional and personal considerations (conflict of interests).
Because the panel has no means of deciding if Rampedi was misled by his source, or if he deliberately misled the public, his newspaper, as well as this office, we are not in a position to argue this point.
Dignity, reputation violated
Van Loggerenberg concludes that the stories violated his rights to dignity and reputation – with some dire consequences for his ability to earn a livelihood and causing distress to his family, friends and former colleagues.
He consequently had to resign, and his ability to earn a livelihood has been severely limited. He adds that the articles have also caused great stress to his family, friends and former colleagues. In addition, the reportage has also damaged SARS's reputation, "a public institution that was held in high esteem by the South African public".
The panel's main considerations
The reportage as a whole essentially stands or falls with the validity of the KPMG "report", and therefore also with its summary.
The newspaper is adamant that both these documents are genuine, and even provides the panel with a photograph of the cover page of the report itself. This is headlined, South African Revenue Service – Report on Allegations of Irregularities and Misconduct – KPMG Services Proprietary Limited. It is dated 3 September 2015.
The panel notes that the articles consistently refer to this document as a "report", and not a "draft report".
However, on 14 December Deputy Finance Minister Mcebisi Jonas was (rightly or wrongly) reported as saying that the document being referred to was still a draft and that there was no final report as yet. (Van Loggerenberg brought this matter to the panel's attention – but we, of course, knew about it already.)
We then asked the newspaper for comment on this issue.
Van den Berg says it is "unusual" for a party to seek to supplement its submissions after a hearing has been concluded. However, if the panel decides to take this matter into consideration, his instructions are to state that Van Loggerenberg has misquoted what was said at the press conference. He states that the report exists and questions Van Loggerenberg's motives for alerting the panel to what was said at the press conference.
He explains: "The (newspaper's) investigative units' sources confirm that the KPMG have handed over the final report. A draft was sent to the Commissioner and SARS' attorneys commented on the draft. A final report was prepared taking into account the comments in the SARS' lawyer's letter. Thereafter eight copies of the report were prepared each one clearly watermarked and the recipients including (sic) the Minister of Finance and his deputy. From a KPMG perspective it appears to be final and was sent to SARS and Treasury some time ago."
Whether or not Van Loggerenberg has misquoted Jonas is not important. What is, is what the latter in fact said.
These were the Deputy Minister's words on this matter:
"The KPMG report remains a draft. There is no final report and there is a process of responding to all the issues…that they have raised both in terms of the content and the structure of the report and what to do with the report in any case. That process is going on. Until that process is finalised and has been signed off by both clients, which is SARS and Treasury, we can't actually have a final report."
It is unthinkable for this panel to simply ignore these words – whether our action in this regard is "unusual" or not.
To clear up this matter once and for all, the Ombudsman then asked KPMG itself whether the report had already been released or not. I was told on good authority that there were six draft reports, and that the copy that was leaked to Sunday Times was among the earlier ones. Also, that the final report has not been released yet.
Based on this, the panel has to accept that the "report" with which Sunday Times worked was a draft, and therefore that no statement contained in that draft was final. Furthermore, not only could these "findings" have been changed, but there is no reason to assume that even the final findings would have been accepted by SARS (or Treasury).
This means that not only was the content of the stories inaccurate, misleading and unfair, but the conclusions in both the editorial and the sub-headline of the main story (namely that the newspaper's reportage prior to the "release" of the "report" had been validated) cannot be correct – or were, at best, premature.
The only conclusion that the panel can come to is that the newspaper's reportage has unnecessarily tarnished Van Loggerenberg's dignity and reputation.
The panel has to stress that what was contained in the summary may (or may not) turn out to be correct at some later stage – but we are convinced that the newspaper was not justified to present those "findings" as the true version of KPMG's final report at the time of publication.
This leaves only two options regarding Rampedi, who is adamant that he saw the "report" – either he was misled by his source, or he deliberately misled the public, his newspaper, as well as this office.
The panel is not in a position to determine which of these two possibilities is true, and we leave it to the newspaper to take up this matter with the reporter.
Sunday Times, in its articles, presented a draft finding – which was later changed by KPMG or may even be rejected by SARS – as a final finding. This was inaccurate, misleading and unfair. It is in breach of Section 2.1 of the Press Code that states, "The press shall take care to report news truthfully, accurately and fairly."
The newspaper is also in breach of Section 4.7 of the Press Code: "The press shall exercise care and consideration in matters involving dignity and reputation. The dignity or reputation of an individual should be overridden only by a legitimate public interest and in the following circumstances:
· 4.7.1: "The facts reported are true or substantially true; or
· 4.7.2: "The article amounts to fair comment based on facts that are adequately referred to and that are true or substantially true; or
· 4.7.4: "It was reasonable for the article to be published because it was prepared in accordance with acceptable principles of journalistic conduct and in the public interest." (The reporting in the front-page article was not "prepared in accordance with acceptable principles of journalistic conduct").
The subheading was comment. Sect. 7.2 states, "Comment by the press shall be presented in such manner that it appears clearly that it is comment." This was not so in this case.
The newspaper should have provided Van Loggerenberg with a copy of the summary of the KPMG report – without which it was unfair to expect him to comment meaningfully on that document. This was in breach of Section 2.5 of the Press Code that says, "A publication shall seek the views of the subject of critical reportage in advance of publication…" (The implication, of course, is that such a request should include all material aspects of the matter.)
As indicated earlier, the newspaper was not justified to present those "findings" as the true version of KPMG's final report at the time of publication.
In light of the panel's finding on the status of the so-called KMPG report, it also finds that the editorial comment was not based on facts that were "true or substantially true" (Sect. 4.7.2) or "truly stated" (Sect. 7.2). Thus, it was not "fair comment".
The "brothel" story was in a way rectifying earlier reports. In earlier reports the Sunday Times had linked Van Loggerenberg with the establishing of a brothel. In this story, subheaded "SARS official denies running sex club…" Van Loggerenberg's name was not mentioned. The Sunday Times should have, in accordance with Sect. 2.6, have corrected the fact that Van Loggerenberg did not run a brothel.
The following parts of the complaint are dismissed, namely that the newspaper did not:
· verify the information contained in the document at its disposal
· give Van Loggerenberg reasonable time to respond; and
· obtain its information legally, honestly and fairly.
There is no finding regarding the complaint that the newspaper was motivated by non-professional and personal considerations (conflict of interests).
Seriousness of breaches
Under the headline Hierarchy of sanctions, Section 8 of our Complaints Procedures distinguishes between minor breaches (Tier 1), serious breaches (Tier 2) and serious misconduct (Tier 3).
The breaches of the Press Code as indicated above are all Tier 2 offences.
Sunday Times is directed to unconditionally:
· retract all the texts which are in dispute (the stories as well as the editorial);
· apologise to Van Loggerenberg for:
o not having provided him with a copy of the summary; and
o unnecessarily tarnishing his dignity and reputation.
Sunday Times is directed to publish prominently, on page 1, above the fold, a kicker with the words "apology" or "apologises", together with Van Loggerenberg's name, which refers to the full apology in the text that should be published on page 2 above the fold. This text should include references to all the allegations made in the texts which are in dispute.
The text, which should be approved by the panel, should end with the sentence, "Visit www.presscouncil.org.za for the full finding".
The headline should reflect the content of the text. A heading such as Matter of Fact, or something similar, is not acceptable.
If the articles appeared on the newspaper's website, the text should be published there as well.
Section 5.5 of the Complaints Procedures reads: "At the conclusion of a hearing, and after a Panel has reached a decision, both parties shall be entitled to address the Panel, personally or in writing, on sanctions and where appropriate mitigation."
Either party may do so within three working days of receipt of this decision. Please note that this is not an application for leave to appeal – that is a separate process, as explained below.
Our Complaints Procedures lay down that within seven working days of receipt of this decision, either party may apply for leave to appeal to the Chairperson of the SA Press Appeals Panel, Judge Bernard Ngoepe, fully setting out the grounds of appeal. He can be contacted at Khanyim@ombudsman.org.za.

DOROTHY ANN ACKERMAN
On Saturday, November 10, 2018, at the age of 84, Dorothy Ann Ackerman passed away peacefully with both her husband Bernie Ackerman and daughter Anna Marie Ackerman at her bedside. Dorothy was born on July 17, 1934 to parents Edward and Beryl Smith in Okmulgee, Oklahoma. During WWII, the family moved to Tracyton, Washington because he worked at the Bremerton shipyards.
After the war, they relocated to Seattle where Dorothy attended Lincoln High School and later, the University of Washington, earning a degree in Home Economics. She was a member of the Alpha Chi Omega Sorority and later served on the Alumni Management Board.
Dorothy met Bernie while student teaching at Bothell High School. She then taught one year in Renton before marrying Bernie on June 15, 1957.
Later, she taught tailoring in the Northshore Adult Education Program.
Dorothy had a very inquisitive mind and was unafraid to try new and different things. She loved gardening and was a wonderful cook and most gracious hostess and she was extremely supportive of Bernie and his work.
Dorothy will forever be remembered by the many lives that were brightened by her warm smile and sense of humor. She had a warm and caring heart. She was particularly fond of cats, however, many raccoons and squirrels soon discovered a ready handout from her at the backdoor.
At Dorothy's request, there will be no funeral service. A Celebration of her life, however, will be announced after the holidays.
Dorothy will be cremated and laid to rest in the Woodinville Cemetery in Woodinville, Washington.
Lifetime Celebrations by Washelli in Bothell, Washington will be handling the arrangements and you may leave comments on their website.

Q: Dynamic Templates or Headers on Page Route within Cloudscribe I'd like to be able to customize the layout that is used for the views based on the content page I'm on. For example, if I'm on the homepage, I may want to have a header that originally does not render, but onscroll, appears and is a different color based on the layout of the homepage. It would be great if I can do this on other pages or, at the very least, override view rendering by using Razor on the server side. I wasn't sure if the custom view templates were another option or not. I'm a noob when it comes to this project so any pointers are much appreciated.

A: For convenience all of the cloudscribe core and cloudscribe SimpleContent views are compiled into Razor class library nugets. But any views that you want to customize can be copied from the corresponding github repo into your project local views and the local views will always take precedence. This way you can customize any views. In fact you can even customize views per theme by copying the views in the theme specific views folder.
So for example if your home page is using SimpleContent, then you could copy the Page/Index view into your local project. Create a Page folder under Views folder and copy the Index view there and you can add any custom logic or additional partial views. You can also conditionally add javascript or css into the @Section Scripts{} or @Section Style {} if needed. You can inject your own custom services into the view to encapsulate whatever logic you want to use. Depending on what you want to do you may also need to override the PageDetailPartial view.
The main _Layout.cshtml is already in your project and there is one per theme folder. So you can already customize the main layout. You could also create additional layout files and set the the layout to be used from the main view. ie:
@{
    Layout = "_MyCustomLayout";
 }

or even add some conditional logic to use a different layout per url. This overrides the default Layout which is set from _ViewStart.cshtml. You can also put a _ViewStart.cshtml file in any views sub folder ie Page folder mentioned above to make all the views in that folder use a specific layout. Setting the layout from the view can only be done for main views not from partial views.
EDIT: for additional question in comments about routing
cloudscribe SimpleContent uses conventional routing with named routes. In our project templates you will see in the /Config/RoutingAndMvc.cs extension methods that add the default routes. If you want to change the routing you can comment those out and add the routes yourself using the same route names. The easiest way would be to copy the code from those extension methods into your own extension methods and modify them as you wish, then use your extension methods instead. You can find the SimpleContent routes here
cloudscribe Core just uses the default route matching on controller and action, it doesn't register routes, just uses normal conventions.
