The most common frauds relate to false claims for discounts and exemptions. This includes single person discount of 25% for sole adult occupiers and student exemption claims. Providing false information in order to avoid liability for Council Tax can also be a criminal offence.
This scheme has replaced Council Tax Benefit. It is a means tested allowance that allows for people on low incomes to apply to the Council for a reduction in Council Tax. It can be a criminal offence to make false statements when claiming Council Tax Support, or to fail to promptly notify a relevant change in circumstances to the Council. Common frauds relate to non declaration of income, savings or other people living in the house, such as a partner or child(ren) over 18.
Business Rates fraud includes falsely claiming Mandatory or Discretionary rate relief or empty property exemption, failure to declare occupancy of a property, falsely using insolvency status with the intent to evade rate payment, not disclosing relevant information – for example, about the size of the company to gain rate relief and providing false information about the occupier of a property in order to avoid liability.
There is the potential for fraudulent claims against the Council. Employees may falsely claim to have been injured at work; members of the public may submit false "slip, trip and fall" claims or Council vehicles may be involved in motor traffic accident claims involving fraud. This can lead to false claims for compensation, unnecessary absence from work and increased premiums.
Housing tenancy fraud is the occupation of social housing, usually to make a profit. It includes unlawful sub-letting, false homeless applications, false successions and right to buy. The Prevention of Social Housing and Fraud Act 2013 gives Local Authorities powers to investigate tenancy fraud offences, even where the Council does not own the property. The legislation came in to force on 15th October 2013.
Any employee can perpetrate fraud against their employer. Procurement fraud is any fraud relating to the purchasing of goods and services. It includes fraud in the tender/bidder selection and contract award stages as well as fraud occurring during the life of a contract.
Employee frauds can include: misuse of time and resources; fraudulent claims for allowances and expenses; failure to register or declare conflicts of interest or the receipt of gifts or hospitality; as well as the manipulation of finance and payroll systems. It also includes staff pre-employment fraud, where false information is given in order to obtain employment.

Is it the patient or the physician who cannot tolerate anemia? A prospective analysis in 1854 non-transfused coronary artery surgery patients.
Senay S1, Toraman F, Karabulut H, Alhan C.
Low hematocrit level and transfusion may coexist during cardiopulmonary bypass and the actual impact of one on the outcome parameters may be counfounded or masked by the other. This study aims to determine the impact of the lowest hematocrit level during cardiopulmonary bypass on outcome parameters in non-transfused patients.
Two thousand six hundred and thirty-two consecutive patients who underwent isolated coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass were evaluated prospectively:1854 (70.4%) patients who did not receive any red blood cells during hospital stay were included in the study. Perioperative data and outcome parameters were recorded. Outcomes were evaluated in 2 groups according to the lowest level of hematocrit (>21%: high hematocrit group, n = 1680, (91.6%) and < or = 21%: low hematocrit group, n = 174, (9.4%)) during cardiopulmonary bypass.
Overall mean lowest hematocrit level of patients was 27.7 + or - 4.4% (19.7 + or - 1.9% in the low hematocrit group, 28.5 + or - 4.1% in the high hematocrit group). The comparison of outcome parameters regarding the time on ventilator, duration of intensive care unit stay, intensive care unit re-admission, hospital re-admission, reoperation for bleeding or tamponade, low cardiac output, postoperative atrial fibrillation, stroke, creatinine level at hospital discharge, new onset renal failure, mediastinitis, pulmonary complication and mortality rates were similar in both groups.
Our findings suggest that a lowest hematocrit level of < or = 21% during cardiopulmonary bypass has no adverse impact on outcome after isolated coronary surgery in non-transfused patients.


Here's how to do some basic wand curls, the wand I used for these curls was a conical curling wand, size 32mm-19mm.
Items needed: curling wand, hair sectioning clips, hairspray….
Begin by sectioning of your hair into 3 even sections (one bottom, one middle and one top) depending on the thickness of your hair you may not need to have as many sections.
Once your wand has heated up to the right temperature setting..
Grab a small section of hair and twist it around the wand..
Hold for 10-15 seconds.. and then let the hair drop into your hand and let cool for a for seconds..
Repeat steps 3-4 and once finished, let your hair cool for a minute of two..

Pole Lucasz is wearing his England badge with pride
by Coach Unlimited | 21st February 2019
Coach Unlimited's international athletics coach Lucasz Zawila has got used to the same old question over and over again.
"What does it feel like to be a proud Pole coaching British athletes and wearing training kit with the England emblem on it?"
He always smiles when he answers it and the answer is always the same.
"My dream was always to be a very good coach at international level. It doesn't matter which country that is for," says Lucasz.
"I have worked with international athletes before so it was not anything new for me. I just see it as exciting that I can represent England.
"My heart will always be with the Polish team but I am 100 per cent behind the athlete I am working with. It doesn't matter to me where they are from."
An athlete and coach in Poland for 15 years, he started working with Loughborough University when he came to England.
Lucasz is the first to admit that his heart will always be in Poland but that will not stop him getting right behind the athletes he is currently guiding to success on the international stage.
Two in particular are currently attracting attention.
Reynold Banigo is a 20-year-old English long jumper, while Henry Clarkson is a 19-year-old Scottish triple-jumper.
He met both men at Loughborough University and he has been putting them through their paces since 2017.
While Reynold is a long-jumper, Henry took Lucasz's advice recently to change his chosen discipline.
"Henry was more of a long jumper but I told him that I saw him a lot more as a triple jumper and thought he would achieve a lot more in that discipline," said Lucasz. "I put that to him, told him to go away and think about it and he came back and agreed to do it.
"I know how good he can be if he keeps working hard and improves every year.
"It's actually a pleasure working with both of them and I see a bright future for them."
He's not wrong.
Reynold jumped 7.77m at the Muller Grand Prix in Birmingham this month after several first-placed finishes at meets last year.
Henry, meanwhile, has only just jumped a stunning personal best of 15.75m in Glasgow.
"They are like a family to me and I am also like a mentor to them in terms of both their sporting aims and their mental approach to things. It's great fun to do what I do."
The Sports and Activities coach is an integral part of the Coach Unlimited team too and director Teresa Hames is proud that that is the case.
"Lucasz is a fantastic member of the CoachUnlimited team. He is energetic, enthusiastic and has a great sense of humour. The children he coaches all think he is fabulous, because of his fun approach. They love learning from someone with so much personal knowledge and experience too. We are immensely proud of Lucasz's achievements with his British athletes, and look forward to seeing more success stories from him."

Kubayi lauds SAHPRA's Sinovac use approval
Acting Health Minister Mamoloko Kubayi has described the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority's (SAHPRA) use approval of the Sinovac COVID-19 vaccine in the country as a turning point and much-needed relief for South Africa's vaccination rollout programme.
SAHPRA at the weekend announced it had authorised the jab, albeit with conditions. This was based on the safety, quality and efficacy data submitted by the vaccine manufacturer to SAHPRA between 22 March 2021 and 22 June 2021.
The authority indicated that while it considered the submitted data acceptable at this point, the authorisation is subject to a number of conditions, including submission by the manufacturer of the final results of ongoing clinical studies.
"The regulator also took account of the World Health Organization (WHO) Emergency Use Listing (EUL) report on this vaccine. Amongst the conditions, the manufacturer will provide any information that comes into its possession relating to risk conditions of use and efficacy of the product," said the Ministry.
The approval comes at a time when the government is implementing an expanded and multipronged vaccination programme to reach as many people as possible, while the infection numbers continue to increase at an alarming rate. This would enable government to initiate procurement processes to secure more vaccines.
"On behalf of the Department, I would like to express gratitude to our regulatory authority for their sense of urgency, which included reducing turnaround time to process applications for registration of medical products, COVID-19 vaccine in particular - without compromising their strict guidelines to ensure the safety of our people.
"It is an undeniable fact that SAHPRA plays a key role in the country's response to this pandemic by ensuring that safe and efficacious vaccines are approved for use in the country," said Kubayi.
The Ministry said further information about Sinovac, including the level of safety and efficacy against the current dominant Delta variant in South Africa, would be made public at a later stage, once a formal report has been received from SAHPRA. – SAnews.gov.za

PBR Turns to History for a Brilliant Piece of Content Marketing: The Beer Run
By adamdudek April 29, 2016 No Comments
The All-American beer brand found the perfect opportunity to share a bit of offbeat history – and promote their label.
Not all heroes wear capes, or uniforms, for that matter.
When PBR got wind of one of humanity's greatest endeavors – or as they titled it, "The Greatest Beer Run Ever" – they spotted an opportunity for a brilliant piece of content marketing. In the past, other companies have turned to their own backgrounds to produce content; Beretta, for example, put together a beautiful video tying together the new and traditional manufacturing processes that make their shotguns works of art. But PBR used a piece of US history and what would otherwise be pure urban legend to create a masterful piece of marketing.
Four aged buddies, all New Yorkers, bond over PBRs in a dingy bar, recounting the exploits of one of their number, John "Chickie" Donohue. The "hero" of the story, Donohue, was a merchant seamen who had previously been through Vietnam in his seafaring travels. With the encouragement of a local barkeep, Chickie set out to revisit the Asian country, this time with the goal of buying his three pals a beer.
In a brilliant display of stupidity, ingenuity, good luck and sweet talking, Chickie worked his way around Vietnam, hitching rides on planes and trucks to hunt down his three friends.
Chickie, who was initially more concerned with running into officers than the enemy, found his first two buddies within 48 hours of landing in Vietnam. At one point becoming stranded near the coast, his journey took him through firefights and he narrowly missed heavy fighting in Saigon, but he accomplished his mission (wearing faded jeans for the majority of his exploits).
PBR's storytelling is nearly perfect. It weaves together a reunion of veterans and old friends, shows the boundlessness of friendship, touches upon a major part of American history, and uses a beer delivery as its premise. It's a story viewers want to share, and one they'll tell their friends about. But when the friend wants to search it, or the link is passed along, the first thing they'll see is "PBR."
As one of the veterans mentions, Chickie "did things that nobody else would think about doing," which is perhaps an apt way to describe Pabst Blue Ribbon's video.
While the story of this beer run may have the best storytelling and production, there is a predecessor to this journey in WWII here, told by Vince Speranza.

Love the bath tub. I bathed my oldest in a round one just like yours.
Well we finally made our move. It only took about a year to get our place and get out here. We were just out in the country. Our property was just a field with people all around. We are now in our cabin in the woods. Our little cabin is in the Ozark mountains in Mark Twain national forest. We have no kitchen inside or running water other than at the well house but we love it. It's so beautiful and quiet!!! Now the work begins!!
Good for you, Spiritbear. Much happiness... and peace.
Spiritbear, your new home looks gorgeous. Count me in with those who said they are jealous! True wilderness is hard to come by indeed...the view from my front porch is soybeans and wind turbines.
So, do you have any updates for us, or at least any more pictures?
GREAT! SOUNDS LIKE YOU'LL BE SETTLED IN SOON!!!!
I'll second the request for pictures! Hope things are progressing nicely.
Congratulations. Would love to see/hear an update since you've been on your land almost a year now. Enjoy!


These people usually don't realize that people with negative thoughts actually have great imagination.
Being a negative thinker doesn't mean you lack imagination. Those with negative thoughts take things negatively. They have antennas of "can't" and "impossible", and are able to propose unusually negative plans that common people cannot make.
Yes, they are able to imagine.
Their imaginations are often very rich, detailed and real. The problem is that their direction is negative.
Other than that, their imaginations are often worthy of praise. They have sharp swords.
They are just pointing their swords at themselves, but they do have powerful weapons.
Only if they could use them in positive ways, wouldn't that be awesome?
I want you to realize that first. Maybe, you have great talents and potential.
By the way, if you are a negative thinker, you should start with easy things when you work on projects.
It is because you can gain confidence by accomplishing easy projects. Then, not only you can reduce your stress, but also you can be more efficient.
Contrary,positive thinkers should start with difficult projects.
You can have joy of accomplishment by being motivated to face difficult challenges and managing them. Then, it will results in smoothing the process.

Buying precious metals is only part of the battle. Where do you store them? What's safe and what isn't? We attempt to answer these questions and more. Most importantly, we discuss another unknown and untried option, where you'll have 24/7 access to your cache. In many places it's free as well. Your metals will be under lock and key and defended by constant video and human security. Of course there are downsides, but there are with any storage option, so ultimately you should choose several of them to maximize the protection of diversification.
What an interesting idea! I'd never thought of that. A safe deposit box but not in a bank.

10 Ways You Know You're An Adult, As Told By Reddit
By Marissa Higgins
If there's one thing for certain, it's that adulthood certainly isn't easy. For most of us, adulthood comes with a lot of freedom — but it also comes with rent, bills, and maintaining a full-time job or school (or sometimes even maintaining both a full-time job and school). This leads me to wonder, though: How do you know when you're an adult? People come from various backgrounds, and by my own definition, people can easily become "adults" when they're still teenagers or living at home. In truth, I think the concept of adulthood is a malleable one, and means something different to everybody.
In the United States, our concept of adulthood has traditionally been closely to our ideal of the American Dream: Someone becomes a "real" adult when they graduate from college, get married, and buy a house. In reality, though, fewer and fewer people fit that definition, particularly for the Millennial generation: Millennials are waiting longer to purchase their first homes, graduating from college with more debt, and waiting longer to get married. Personally, I think people can certainly lead adult lives even if they don't own their own homes or have a spouse. In fact, my concept of adulthood is pretty broad, and while I definitely think all of my friends and peers are "real" adults, we all lead pretty different lives in terms of home, finances, goals, and responsibilities.
This leads me to wonder: What do other people think? What might other peoples' definitions of adulthood be? Luckily, Redditer rjkrm recently asked the AskReddit community the same question, simply posing, "What was your defining 'I'm not a kid anymore" moment?'" I pulled some of the most interesting selections from the comments below; head on over to AskReddit for more.
1. Adulthood Is About the Details
I think this is definitely one of the things no one tells you about being an adult — you have to buy stuff! And not just fun stuff, but also stuff you need that you might previously have taken for granted, like nail clippers.
2. When Your House No Longer Feels Like Home
OK, so it's technically when your parents' house no longer feels like home, but still. The place all of your childhood memories took place in? At some point, it's going to feel less like home and more like a place you visit, and that's likely a sign you're becoming an independent adult with a life separate from your parents'.
3. When You're The Only One Responsible For Your Health
That's right: All of those doctor and dentist appointments your parents made for you when you were a kid? Those didn't happen by magic. You have to actually call and schedule these things, and goodness help you if you've misplaced your health insurance card.
4. Adulthood Is About Time Management
Regardless to what your priorities are, it's up to you to balance them and make sure you have enough time to fulfill your obligations, and get the rest you need, and have some fun, too.
5. When You Realize You've Become A Parent
All of that love, affection, and nourishing care you remember your parents doing for you? For many people, when they realize they're in a place to give those same things to their own child is the moment they draw the line between childhood and adulthood.
6. When You Take Control Of Your Problems
I think this one is legitimately admirable, no matter what age you are. Realizing you have a problem and making a change to be more healthy and positive in your life is always an important step and a sign of maturity.
7. Three Words: Student. Loan. Payments.
I think these words send a chill up most every millennial's spine. Nothing feels quite like a big reminder that you're an adult now like getting an email notification from Sallie Mae that your first payment is due.
8. When You Have To Face The Consequences of Your Actions
This one definitely requires some honesty for people to talk about, but I think it's an important point: When you're an adult, you are held differently in the eyes of the law. This isn't to say that the mistakes or foolish decisions you make as a teenager don't matter (because they definitely do) but when you're an adult, people aren't going to give you the benefit of the doubt of being "young and dumb," even if you don't feel like an adult yet.
9. When You Know Where Your Dollar Bills Have Gotta Go
OK, this one may not be terribly exciting, but hey, it's important! You know you're an adult when you get paid and don't burn through your paycheck in one week. In fact, building your credit can be beneficial to you down the road, so it's not a bad thing to keep in mind when you're just breaking into adulthood and managing your finances and bills for the the first time.
10. When You're The One Buying, Not Selling
Ah, yes. With Girl Scout Cookie season under way, I have a feeling a lot of people can relate to this one: No longer are we sending our parents off to work to sell boxes of cookies and candles for fundraisers. Now we're the ones Girl Scouts run up to outside of grocery stores asking us to buy their cookies. Crazy how fast that happens, right?
All in all, I think adulthood is a different experience for everyone, and it's no surprise that people will feel they crossed into adulthood at different stages. Adulthood comes with a crazy amount of responsibility, but I think it's important to remember we're still living our lives until the very end, so it's important to prioritize yourself: Continue to discover new interests and hobbies, keep learning, and make sure you find enough time to sleep!

A report-back from the parliament.
One of our Irish Liberal MEPs emailed : "Many people have been asking me whether they can help in any way in the Irish referendum campaign, and the answer is that a national referendum is, by definition, an internal national matter, even where, as in this case, the repercussions have an effect across Europe.
As they say on their website : "Whether you are Irish or not, we need YOUR help... You can send us an e-mail of support, sign up for updates, donate, join us on Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and Linked In , contact your family or friends in Ireland, tell us your ideas/suggestions as to what we should do."
was the vote to install a President of the Commission in office for the next five years.
The Commission is the EU's executive body. For the past five years its President has been Jose Manuel Barroso, a former prime minister of Portugal. In the opinion of many in the parliament, he has been "re-active" rather than forward-looking and has not given the lead that Europe needs.
The right to propose a new candidate, according to the EU treaties, lies exclusively with the 27 heads of national governments. Earlier this year they nominated Barroso for another five years but the leaders did not set out any targets for him or any programme of work, preferring him to remain their obedient servant as events unfold. Many in the parliament were deeply dissatisfied with such a conditionless proposal. So, instead of immediately confirming the national nomination, each political party put Barroso through a hearing. The Christian-Democrats supported Barroso, being one of their own. The Socialists and Greens did not want to vote until after the fate of the Lisbon treaty is known. The Conservatives, on their own, were irrelevant. So Barroso needed Liberal support. We liberals gave him two hours of live questions. During our hearing, Barroso put on a virtuoso performance, saying that in a second term a president is much stronger and he would fight for a strong united Europe like never before. We extracted a promise that there will be, for the first time, a Commissioner specifically responsible for Fundamental Rights and Civil Liberties (which of course is a priority area for liberals). He was warned that, over the five years, his leadership will be carefully monitored - with the threat that the parliament can dismiss him. Afterwards, our Latin liberal MEPs commented "He is Mediterranean too so he knows how to put on a seductive performance. But we are not taken in and remain sceptical."
The full parliament voted on Barroso's appointment on Wednesday morning. With our support he won a majority with 382 out of 736 votes.
He won because the centre-right won most MEP seats in June European elections, and because the other parties did not put up alternative candidates. A year ago we Liberals discussed putting up a candidate for President of the Commission, but concluded that we could not find a candidate who was willing to spend a year seeking votes in the 27 countries, with no expenses refunded, and no likelihood of winning. But the idea of alternative candidates will be stronger in 2014, and it is possible to foresee that the first directly-elected European President is already alive and now at school somewhere.
The first case of H1N1 inside the parliament was confirmed on Monday. The medical centre is planning for a peak of cases in the second half of October when 20% are expected to be absent from work.
I attended a briefing by a Dutch expert. He complained that "It is the same virus everywhere, but there are 27 separate uncoordinated national plans for dealing with it." There should be a single European centre, as there is the CDC in the USA. (see http://www.cdc.gov/) but Europe's national capitals are unwilling to share their powers, as usual.
The best counter-measure, he said, is to be vaccinated. There are two to have :1. against seasonal flu, 2. against H1N1 not yet available but coming soon. The mortality rate of H1N1 is very low : the risk is not of dying but if you have to go to hospital the danger is that the hospitals may already be full. In August, the UK was sending ill patients to Sweden.
Looking further ahead, he said that nobody knows how it will develop. Spanish flu in 1918 was very mild but suddenly turned nasty in 1919 and killed forty million people, the most being in the under-fifty age group perhaps because they had not experienced a previous strain unlike their elders. The danger in 2009-2010 is that H1N1 (mild but very infectious) might meet Avian flu (with 60% mortality rate among humans who catch it but bad at transmitting itself between humans) and mutate into a vicious strain which combines high-mortality with high-infectiousness : if that happens, he said, we shall all be in very big trouble.
There was emergency debate about the violent fires along the Mediterranean this summer. Points made that over 400,000 hectares of forest have disappeared in the past decade, the severity of fires has been increasing over recent years, many have been started by arsonists, and with higher temperatures expected in the future due to global warming, worse can be expected.

Q: VC++: non-global old-style function declarations? In Visual Studio 2003 using pure C, old-style function
declarations do not show as global member
i.e. void func(blah) int blah;{...}
This shows as a global member in the members dropdown:
void func(int blah)
{
    ...
}

This compiles, but old-style does not appear in the global
members dropdown:
void func(blah)
int blah;
{
    ...
}

I am trying to use the new 'Calling Graph' functionality to
analyse code, but as most of our legacy code uses the
old-style function parameters, those functions are not
recognized are not shown as Global Members, and therefore do
not appear in the 'Calling Graph'.
Is there any way to let the "call graph" analysis process
old-style function declarations correctly?

A: Maybe you want to consider to just change the old style function signatures. There shouldn't be any issues with that.
EDIT:
For an automatic conversion of your source files from old style syntax to ANSI-C style, take a look at the cproto tool. Maybe that could save you some time if you decide to go that direction.
This is an excerpt from the docs:

-f n
      Set the style of generated function prototypes where n is a
  number from 0 to 3. For example,
  consider the function definition
main (argc, argv)
int argc;
char *argv[];
{
}

If the value is 0, then no prototypes are generated. When set to
  1, the output is:
int main(/*int argc, char *argv[]*/);

For a value of 2, the output has the form:
int main(int /*argc*/, char */*argv*/[]);

The default value is 3. It produces the full function prototype:
int main(int argc, char *argv[]);

A: I'm not sure but maybe the engine uses regexs to trace routine signatures and the old C style isn't implemented.

I originally sketched out this mandala in 2002. It lay dormant until it caught my eye while going through my sketches yesterday looking for a design for the September MotM.
Even just as a line drawing it has a three dimensional look about it, waiting patiently for a gust of wind to start it moving again. Sometimes we feel like that. We've done all that we think we can and we wait patiently (or impatiently) for something to happen, for a gust of wind to move our sails.
So why wait for something or someone to make things happen for us? Often times what we're waiting for is something that may (and will) never happen: waiting for things to be perfect. FTS!
I'm going to (do this) once (this happens) .
"Windmill" encourages us to re-think this strategy because all these things are just fear disguised as convenient excuses.
If you really want to act, then act even if it's in your living room.
If you truly want to travel, then start by traveling to places near you that you have yet to visit.
If you truly want an organized garage, then start with creating a "5-minute" plan of action (a list of tasks that could be done in 5 minutes)…or make it a 10 or 15-minute action plan.
"Windmill" tells us that if we truly, in our heart of hearts, want to "do this", then do it! There is always some action we can take, regardless of how small, to move it forward. And it could be that all we need do is change the direction of our sails (a different perspective) to create the momentum.
What one thing can I do today to put the the wind in my sails?


Mini mals and fun boards are a great inbetween board that caters for alot of people from beginners to advanced to short boarders to longboarders. These boards fill the gap when the surf is just not suited to your regular board and by the way they are a great wall hanger.
When building a balsawood board like this, I will always add a bit more volume to the board to compensate for the lower paddle power(even though there is a little more buoyancy in a balsa board). So a little more width and thickness always comes in handy when paddling for waves. This little longboard is perfect for a beginner or the advanced because it's not too long to handle but it has the width and thickness to give it some stability for paddling , catching and riding small and medium waves. Easily bottom turns and cuts back with great response.
• As light as a regular polyurethane MiniMal.
• Stable buoyant EPS core.
