TrueScan Provides Laser Scanning Services for Historic Georgetown City Hall
News | July 23, 2018
The City of Georgetown, Kentucky is undergoing a renovation of its historic City Hall building to upgrade its facilities, meet accessibility requirements, and provide modern amenities for its employees. Working with a building that was over 100 years old and had unreliable documentation drawings, the design team determined that 3D laser scanning was the best option to accurately document the existing structure. After consulting with several firms, the team decided TrueScan was the most qualified to perform the scanning work.
The building had been renovated and added onto many times over the years and numerous floor elevations and nuances within the building had to be accounted for. A few of the challenges the team faced in documenting the structure included; floor elevations not matching up, walls being significantly out of plumb, and areas being too difficult to access. This made it necessary to set a control system to tie all areas and floors of the building together. The City also had concerns about scanning operations interfering with employee workflow during normal business hours. To address the City's concerns, the TrueScan team set the project control and scanned the exterior and attic spaces of the building during a Thursday and Friday. The interior spaces occupied by employees were scanned over the weekend. TrueScan performed this work in under four days with one scanning technician working onsite. The exterior of the building was scanned in color while interior spaces were documented with intensity scans. The scans were processed, registered, and given to the design team for their use in creating a Revit model.
Ultimately, TrueScan utilized both its experience documenting historic structures and its knowledge of surveying and complex geometries to help ensure the project was a success. Due to the unreliable documentation and age of the building, scanning was necessary for this renovation project. The TrueScan team was able to bring an understanding of the existing historic facility to the design team that would not have been achievable by typical field documentation practices.

UK Unity Ready For Indyref 2!
UK Unity profoundly believes in the integrity of the United Kingdom, as a single unified state of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The elites have handled the democrat result of our withdrawal of the EU badly, allowing separatists to use the opportunity for their own agenda to end the UK.
It has unleashed a fresh debate on whether or not the Scottish Government should be permitted to hold a second Scottish referendum. We have consulted widely with our supporters and the overall consensus is that people are fed-up, angry and annoyed with the constitutional uncertainty facing the UK's existence as a country.

The Elitist Politicians Must Start Funding Our NHS!
The NHS in our country is struggling to meet the demands of the people who need it most; the everyday hard workers, and the older generations. There has been thousands of appointments cancelled. GP's are struggling to cope with the high demands this winter, and the government refuse to give it more money. It's vital that we see a properly funded NHS, otherwise the NHS will exist no more.
It's time the government invested properly into this country's healthcare system, and stopped pretending that an issue does not exist, it does – and it's more apparent than ever before, it's time we invested £50 billion to our NHS, not the EU.
Unity represents the hard-working people of this country. We want to hold the government to account. That's why we're saying enough is enough, it's time the NHS was properly managed and funded.
Tony-toff Blair Will not stop us leaving the EU!
Tony Blair has been spending the last few years jetting around the world in private jets and staying at 5 star hotels. This is all paid for by his business work which is mostly done for third world dictators around the globe.
It is no surprise then, that he wishes to now also be a dictator and stop the people of Britain from exiting the failing EU and to overturn the wishes of the electorate.
He has said that the Labour Party should now seek to block Brexit by holding a second referendum and doing everything in its power to push back against taking us out of the EU. Sign here if you want out the EU now.

John Robert Biggs (born 19 November 1957) is a British Labour Co-op politician who was Mayor of Tower Hamlets between 2015 and 2022.

Biggs was first elected to Tower Hamlets London Borough Council in 1988 where he served as a Councillor for St Katharine's Ward and later St Dunstan's Ward until 2002. He was selected as Leader of the Labour Group in 1991, and became Council Leader in 1994 following a landslide election win.

In 2000, he successfully ran for the City and East Constituency London Assembly seat. Over the course of a 16 year career in the Assembly he served as a member of the Metropolitan Police Authority, London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority, London Health Commission, Deputy Chair of the London Development Agency, Deputy Chair of the London Thames Gateway Development Corporation, Chair of Transport, Chair of Planning and Spatial Development, Chair of Regeneration, Chair of the London Assembly Budget Committee, and Chair of the GLA Audit Committee.

He was elected Mayor of Tower Hamlets in 2015, and reelected in 2018. In 2007 he was made an Honorary Fellow of Queen Mary University, and of Birkbeck College in 2016.

Early life and education
He was educated at Queen Elizabeth's School, Barnet and graduated from the University of Bristol in 1979 having studied Chemistry. He then studied Computer Science at Birkbeck College, University of London, and later studied Law at the University of Westminster while serving as a Councillor.

He served as an elected politician in London, in Tower Hamlets and East London between 1988 and 2022. In his 20s, Biggs worked as a Systems Analyst in the City of London. Later, he was director of the Labour affiliated Socialist Health Association from 1997 to 2000.

He is an Honorary Fellow of Queen Mary University (2007) and Birkbeck College (2016).

Tower Hamlets Council
Biggs was elected to Tower Hamlets London Borough Council in 1988, first as councillor for St Katharine's Ward, and Later St Dunstan's Ward until 2002. He was selected as the Labour Group leader in 1991, during the period the council was Liberal Democrat controlled (1986–1994).

He led Labour to a landslide victory in 1994, leading the campaign to remove the UK's first BNP councillor, and the populist but discredited Liberal Democrat administration.

After standing down as leader in 1995, he remained an active councillor but also attended Law School, served as Director of the Socialist Health Association (1997–2000), and was Deputy Chair of Bow Housing Action Trust (1995–2004).

London Assembly

Biggs represented City and East Constituency at City Hall between 2000 and 2016, during the tenures of Ken Livingstone and Boris Johnson.
Under Ken Livingstone's, initially independent mayoralty, relationships were frosty due in part to the circumstances of Livingstone's election and his subsequent support for Lutfor Rahman, but improved with time.

As Assembly Member between 2000 and 2008 he was appointed Deputy Chairman of the London Development Agency (2004–2008) and served on the Metropolitan Police Authority (2000–2003), London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority and the London Health Commission. He was appointed by Government as Deputy Chair of the London Thames Gateway Development Corporation (2004–2008). Within the Assembly, he was variously Chair of Transport, Chair of Planning and Spatial Development, and Chair of Regeneration.

Under Boris Johnson he was a witty and bitter critic although the men developed a strange if challenging rapport. Aside from challenging the Mayor in debate he was for 7 years Chair of the London Assembly Budget Committee. He was also Chair of the GLA Audit Committee, which among other matters considered issues of conduct including of the Mayor. Upon his election as Mayor of Tower Hamlets in 2016 he stood down from the Assembly, and was succeeded by Unmesh Desai.

Mayor of Tower Hamlets

2014: Candidate
Having won selection as the Labour candidate for directly elected Mayor of Tower Hamlets,  Biggs stood against incumbent Lutfur Rahman in 2014. Rahman had previously won support from Mayor of London Ken Livingstone. Livingstone reversed his public position after auditors were appointed to investigate allegations of mismanagement and fraud at the council, but remained privately supportive.

Rahman won the Supplementary Vote election in the second round with 37,395 (52.27%) votes to Biggs' 34,143 (47.73%) with a total of 84,234 valid ballots cast.

Immediately following the election, four voters challenged the result in the case Erlam v Rahman. In a rare intervention the election court overturned the result, ejecting both Rahman and his election agent from office, barring both from future public office for five years, and forcing a fresh election.

In 2014 Rahman's actions while in office led to government appointed commissioners being brought in to the council to review its grant making practices. Further investigations were ordered following the election court judgement in 2015. The final government direction was lifted in 2017.

2015: Victory and first term
Following the verdict in Erlam v Rahman a by-election was held on 11 June 2015. Biggs stood against an independent candidate Rabina Khan, who was endorsed by the disqualified Rahman. Biggs beat Khan with 32,754 (55.39%) votes to her 26,384 (44.61%).

His first term in office was dominated by addressing the concerns caused by Rahman's actions, and successfully having the government directions lifted. His administration was also marked by a commitment to transparency and accountability, the previous Mayor having markedly refused to answer questions publicly or in the Council chamber.

2018: Reelection and second term
Biggs stood for reelection against Rabina Khan now representing the People's Alliance of Tower Hamlets, a party formed from the rump of Lutfor Rahman's disgraced Tower Hamlets First, and Tower Hamlets Independent Group. Biggs won the election with 44,865 (72.66%) votes to Kahn's 16,878 (27.34%), and his leadership resulted in Labour increasing its number of councillors to 42 out of 45.

In his second Mayoral term Biggs,
 Led a major programme to provide 2000 additional council homes;
 invested in parks and the public realm;
 led the borough's response to Covid-19;
 continued the service improvement begun in his first term; and
 campaigned for improving residents' safety.

Mayor Biggs committed to investing in additional council funded police officers and youth services, along with a post at the Royal London to work with victims and perpetrators of violence.

Like other London Council Leaders, this all took place to a backdrop of massive budget savings, while working to protect services from national funding cuts.

As a result of work achieved during Biggs tenure Tower Hamlets London Borough Council won a number of awards and was shortlisted for a number of others,  including

 Digital Impact;
 Growth and Economic Development;
 Public Health;
 Mental Health;
 Substance Misuse Services;
 Carbon Reduction;
 Hate Crime & Violence against Women;
 Most Improved Council;
 Public Health;
 Council of the Year; and
 Most Improved Council of the Year.

2022: Loss

Biggs lost re-election in 2022 to Rahman and his newly formed Aspire Party by 40,804 (54.90%) to 33,487 (45.10%) votes, a result viewed by many as a surprise.

Within nine months of Aspire's victory, in February 2023, with the unexpected departure of the longstanding lead official of Tower Hamlets Council, the Chief Executive of the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy raised the prospect that the authorities would once again have to intervene following Lutfur Rahman's mismanagement of the council.

Following the election he announced his retirement from elected politics and now works as a consultant and Non-Executive Director.

He is currently a Director (2022–) of Islington & Shoreditch Housing Association.

Xero In on Team Building - Expr3ss!
We're big fans of business podcasts here at Expr3ss! They're free, convenient, and educational. Best of all, podcasts let us listen while we work, multi-tasking in the best of all possible ways.
We're pleased to report that podcasts love Expr3ss!, too. Recently, our founder and Chairman Dr Glyn Brokensha was interviewed by Jeanne Vida Douglas and Rob Stone for the business-centric podcast Xero In. The topic: Secrets to building a great team.
Why did Xero choose Glyn? Glyn has more than thirty years' experience with people and behaviour. He really understands business culture and psychology and how software and technology can make it easier for companies to find the best people to employ.
In this article, we're highlighting one of the most interesting of the key points Glyn made. If it piques your interest – and we bet it will! – you can listen to the episode in its entirety at Xero.
The recruitment process has become a gargantuan problem for many businesses. They're inundated with hundreds of applications from job aggregators that make it easy for job seekers to throw their name in the ring. Selecting qualified applicants to interview can seem like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Glyn cautions business owners against a common mistake in hiring: trying to find your "one true love hiding in the hordes of Mordor." Why? Because job seekers have become extremely savvy in the way they present themselves. They tell employers what they want to hear, which may, or may not be the truth. In fact 74% of resumes are misleading and 40% of them frankly contain lies.
Instead of looking for the perfect applicant, Glyn recommends "turning the whole recruitment thing on its head" and first identifying applicants who are flatly unqualified. This simple but rarely used approach to culling applicants at the onset can significantly reduce the grunt work and cut overall workload for HR.
Best of all, the actual culling process can be handled by technology, using specifically designed software programs.
Would you like to improve your recruitment processes so you can find employees that will be a long-term asset to your business team? If so, we invite you to contact Expr3ss! for practical ideas that you can put to work.

Q: Is it possible to aggregate over two resources in SPARQL? The challenge
In my triple store, I have a resource type Email. Resources of that Email type have a sender and one or more recipients assigned.
Let the notation "A->B" be defined as "A is the sender of an email for which B is one of the recipients".
Now, I would like to know the following: How many times has person A sent an email to person B? Note that the role of A and B is important, i.e. A->B is different from B->A.
The malformed SPARQL query
In order to answer this question for all available pairings, I wrote this SPARQL (1.1) query:
PREFIX rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#>
PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
PREFIX email: <http://example.com/schema/for/email/>

SELECT ?sender ?recipient (COUNT(?sender ?recipient) AS ?count)
WHERE {
  ?sender rdf:type foaf:Person.
  ?recipient rdf:type foaf:Person.

  ?e rdf:type email:Email.
  ?e email:sender ?sender.
  ?e email:recipient ?recipient.
}
GROUP BY ?sender ?recipient

This does not work, AllegroGraph gives me the error MALFORMED QUERY: Line 5, Found ?recipient (of type varname) - line 5 being the SELECT clause. I tried some other variants, altering the SELECT and/or GROUP BY clause, but without success.
I am not sure whether aggregates on more than one resource are allowed. In the SPARQL 1.1 docs and a related SO question (Counting in SPARQL) I only found aggregates based on one resource.
So finally, here is my question: Is it possible to aggregate over sender AND recipient?

A: Try replacing (COUNT(?sender ?recipient) AS ?count) with (COUNT(?e) AS ?count).
That should work because you want to count the number of emails (?e) that match your criteria.

London Architecture's Hidden Gems
London is full of fantastic famous buildings such as the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, and Buckingham Palace (many of which we highlighted here).
But it's also home to some less well known architectural gems, the best of which are here…
London Architecture: Hidden Gems
1. Abbey Mills Pumping Station, Stratford
2. Somerset House
3. Imperial War Museum
4. Battersea Power Station
5. Banqueting House, Whitehall
6. Guildhall
7. BBC Broadcasting House
8. Liberty
9. St Pancras Station
10. Soho Square Cottage
11. Royal Albert Hall
12. Greenwich Naval College
13. Tate Modern
14. Admiralty Arch
15. Bank Of England
16. Lloyds Of London Building
It seems a bit strange to start this series with what is in effect a sewage farm, but this delightful pumping station is a hidden gem of Victorian architecture.
Just off the Strand in central London is the imposing Somerset House. Formerly home to several Government Departments, it now hosts several arts and other bodies, including the world-famous Courthald Gallery.
The Imperial War Museum was originally set up to commemorate the First World War and the British Empire soldiers' exploits. The building was originally a hospital but was rebuilt in the early 1800s with its imposing cannons.
The museum's mission has recently been amended to "provide for, and to encourage, the study and understanding of the history of modern war and 'wartime experience.".
This disused power station was built during the art deco boom of the 1930s. It has lain unused for the past 30 years but is now getting a new lease of life with a major redevelopment of apartments and shops.
The only remaining part of Henry VIII's Whitehall Palace was one of the first buildings of the neo-classical style in England.
The ceremonial and administrative centre of the City of London and its Corporation, construction began on this ancient building in 1411.
Home to one of the UK's great institutions, the BBC, Broadcasting House was built in the art deco style in the 1930s.
One of London's many world-famous department stores, Liberty's distinctive store was built at the height of the 1920s fashion for Tudor revival.
George Gilbert Scott's gothic masterpiece is actually a hotel built above the main St Pancras railway station in the late 1800s. It recently reopened as a hotel: the St Pancras Renaissance
This Tudor style small cottage is actually a twentieth century cover for an electric substation. Nocewr than the usual concrete block anyway…
Named after Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert, the Royal Albert Hall is one of the UK's premier concert venues, including the famous annual Proms series.
Built by Sir Christopher Wren, this Greenwich building operated as the Royal Navy's key training college for much of its life until 1998. It's now a great place to visit and sample some of Britain's fine naval history.
Like Battersea Power Station above, Tate Modern was once a power station but now turned into one of the world's great modern art galleries.
This imposing entry to the Mall – linking Trafalgar Square with Buckingham Palace – this was once the home of the First Sea Lord.
Home to the UK's central bank since 1734, the Bank Of England headquarters were originally built by Sir John Sloane (later, and controversially, redeveloped in the 1920s).
The only modern style building to make this list, the Lloyds building with its 'inside-out' design, is not everyone's cup of tea. But we like it…

Fermilab physicist Alysia Marino recently won the 2006 Mitsuyoshi Tanaka Dissertation Award for her doctoral research, which supported the hypothesis of neutrino flavor oscillation and also helped solve the so-called solar neutrino problem. The award, given by the American Physical Society, recognizes one outstanding doctoral thesis in the field of experimental particle physics each year.
Marino completed the award-winning dissertation at UC Berkeley under the supervision of Kevin Lesko of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, just before she came to Fermilab. At LBNL, Marino and Lesko worked on a 1- kiloton heavy water detector called the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory. "SNO measures neutrinos coming from the sun," said Marino. "One of the special things about SNO is that it uses heavy water, which is just water with a different hydrogen isotope. To enhance detection of one of the signals, the collabortion mixed in 2 tons of salt to the 1, 000 tons of heavy water, which helped us detect all three neutrino flavors." There are three types of neutrinos: tau, muon and electron. SNO is special because its heavy, salty water makes it sensitive to all three flavors, while most other detectors just pick up electron neutrinos. Since previous detectors only sensed one type, old methods found fewer neutrinos coming from the sun than theory predicted, creating the 35-year-old "solar neutrino problem." SNO results jibed with theoretical models for the first time--solving the mystery once and for all. In addition to solving the solar neutrino problem, Marino's research also provided a smoking gun for the popular theory that neutrinos change flavor as they travel from the sun to the earth, since all nuetrinos coming from the sun start out as electron nuetrinos.
Now, after investigating solar neutrino mysteries at Lawrence Berkeley Lab for her PhD, Marino is excited about her post-doctoral research position at Fermilab "We generate a beam of neutrinos at the lab," said Marino, who came to MINOS in 2004. "I like measuring neutrino oscillations from our beamline--it's much easier to control than the sun."
proposals on a world-wide basis for siting the International Linear Collider. Although a long road remains to selecting a site for the ILC, facilitator Doug Sarno will tell you it is never too early to start public participation. In anticipation of submitting a proposal to host the ILC, Fermilab started discussions with local citizens, and two years ago, they established a Community Task Force on Public Participation. Ranging from a young high school student to a local mayor, the 22-member group developed a set of mutual expectations for how Fermilab will interact with the community on issues that effect them both. As the site selection for the ILC moves forward, the role of the Community Task Force will become increasingly important and perhaps even serve as a model on public participation for other regions involved in the global project.
The record-breaking performance of the Tevatron collider at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is pushing the search for dark matter, supersymmetric particles and extra dimensions to new limits. Repeatedly smashing peak luminosity records, the Tevatron has created record numbers of proton-antiproton collisions that provide the means to unveil the secrets of the universe. Accelerator experts at the lab announced today (March 2) that in only 14 months the Tevatron collider has produced almost five times the data sample collected during four years of Collider Run I (1992-1996), which led to the discovery of the top quark at Fermilab.
Since restarting the Tevatron collider after a scheduled shutdown in December 2004, the collider has produced an integrated luminosity of 872 inverse picobarns-a measure for the number of collisions achieved. Two collider experiments, CDF and DZero, will present new results based on these datasets in the upcoming months.
Now through April 26, you'll be able to see glowing charcoals and bright, swirling oil paints in the Fermilab Art Gallery--or, as artist Pam Allnutt describes them, "glimpses of nature." Allnutt paints close-ups of natural scenes--arresting little pieces that the viewer has to think about to put into context. "Pam is one of the few artists who can create pristine, simple striking pieces," said Georgia Schwender, curator of the Fermilab Gallery. "I was initially struck by her charcoals."
Allnutt used to paint larger, more comprehensive landscapes, but she says that her work changed dramatically after the events of 9/11. "It brought up painful territory from my own past," she said. "Now the idea of my work is glimpses of the whole...a glimpse into what isn't clearly seen." Allnutt says that she worked solely with charcoal for a time after 9/11, but has recently brought color back into her work--and the effect of the color is striking. Bright blues, greens and oranges swirl in her close-ups of what look like cloud reflection in puddles, oil-slicks and sideways sunsets on the prairie. "The pieces still have discontinuity, but there is more a flow between them so you can connect up the images," she said. "It's the mystery of only knowing part-like pieces of nature seen for a second in the headlights before they disappear."
There will be an artist reception for Pam Allnutt on March 10 from 5-7 p.m. on the 2nd Floor Crossover of Wilson Hall.

Crash of an Airbus A320-216 into the Java Sea: 162 killed
Date & Time: Dec 28, 2014 at 0618 LT

Copilot / Total flying hours:
Copilot / Total hours on type:
Aircraft flight cycles:
The aircraft left Surabaya-Juanda Airport at 0535LT and climbed to its assigned altitude of FL320 that he reached 19 minutes later. The crew contacted ATC to obtain the authorization to climb to FL380 and to divert to 310° due to bad weather conditions. At 0617, the radio contact was lost with the crew and a minute later, the transponder stopped when the aircraft disappeared from the radar screen. At this time, the aircraft was flying at the altitude of 36,300 feet and its speed was decreasing to 353 knots. It is believed the aircraft crashed some 80 nautical miles southeast off the Pulau Belitung Island, some 200 km from the Singapore Control Area. The Indonesian Company confirmed there were 156 Indonesian Citizens on board, three South Korean, one Malaysian, one Singapore and one French (the copilot) as well. At the time of the accident, the weather conditions were marginal with storm activity, rain falls and turbulence in the area between Pulau Belitung and Kalimantan. First debris were spotted by the Indonesian Navy some 48 hours later, about 150 NM east-south-east off the Pulau Belitung Island. About forty dead bodies were found up to December 30. The tail was recovered on January 10, 2015 and the black boxes were localized a day later. On January 12 and 13 respectively, the DFDR and the CVR were out of water and sent to Jakarta for analysis and investigations.
Probable cause:
The cracking of a solder joint of both channel A and B resulted in loss of electrical continuity and led to RTLU (rudder travel limiter unit) failure.
The existing maintenance data analysis led to unresolved repetitive faults occurring with shorter intervals. The same fault occurred 4 times during the flight.
The flight crew action to the first 3 faults in accordance with the ECAM messages. Following the fourth fault, the FDR recorded different signatures that were similar to the FAC CB"s being reset resulting in electrical interruption to the FAC"s.
The electrical interruption to the FAC caused the autopilot to disengage and the flight control logic to change from Normal Law to Alternate Law, the rudder deflecting 2° to the left resulting the aircraft rolling up to 54° angle of bank.
Subsequent flight crew action leading to inability to control the aircraft in the Alternate Law resulted in the aircraft departing from the normal flight envelope and entering prolonged stall condition that was beyond the capability of the flight crew to recover.

Sorcha Eastwood, Brexit advisor for the Alliance Party, was our guest on today's show. We've been doing a number of interviews with politicians and staff at Stormont over the last few weeks to try and get a better grip of what is going on at Stormont and how much influence the Northern Irish parties are able to have in Brexit negotiations. We chatted about our perpetually absent government, the DUP and the Irish border, the possibilities of a 'no deal' Brexit, and the dark money scandal.


How are these images generated?
Doesn't the coordinate extraction process have errors?
I found an error in the coordinate data for a paper. How can I fix it?
How come my study isn't in the database?
How do you deal with the fact that different studies report coordinates in different stereotactic spaces?
How do you distinguish between activations and deactivations when extracting coordinates from published articles?
Are individual words or phrases really a good proxy for cognitive processes? Can you really say that studies that use the term 'pain' at a certain frequency are about pain?
Isn't selection bias likely to play a role here? If everyone thinks that the amygdala is involved in emotion, isn't it likely that an automated meta-analysis will simply capture that bias?
How come so many of the terms are non-content words no one cares about (e.g., 'addressed', 'abstract', or 'reliable')?
Why do images take a while to load?
When I enter coordinates manually, they're rounded to different numbers!
How are the images thresholded?
What format are the downloadable images in?
What do the 'forward inference' and 'reverse inference' descriptions mean in the feature image names?
How do I use the Neurosynth code to generate my own meta-analysis images?
Neurosynth is a platform for automatically synthesizing the results of many different neuroimaging studies.
Activation coordinates are extracted from published neuroimaging articles using an automated parser.
The full text of all articles is parsed, and each article is 'tagged' with a set of terms that occur at a high frequency in that article.
A list of several thousand terms that occur at high frequency in 20 or more studies is generated.
For each term of interest (e.g., 'emotion', 'language', etc.), the entire database of coordinates is divided into two sets: those that occur in articles containing the term, and those that don't.
A giant meta-analysis is performed comparing the coordinates reported for studies with and without the term of interest. In addition to producing statistical inference maps (i.e., z and p value maps), we also compute posterior probability maps, which display the likelihood of a given term being used in a study if activation is observed at a particular voxel.
Yes, and this is something we're continually working to improve. Our parser extracts coordinates from HTML articles, which presents some difficulties, because different publishers and journals format tables very differently. Moreover, many articles have idiosyncratic formatting or errors in the table HTML that can prevent data extraction. In the short term, we make an effort to patch the parser whenever we identify a systematic problem that affects multiple articles; however, this really isn't a great solution, and in the long term, we'd like to transition to a standards-based model where authors and publishers report and display activation data in a standardized, machine-readable format.
Unfortunately, we don't have any way for users to contribute to the manual verification and validation of coordinates right now. You can send us an email detailing any problems you find. We realize that this is less than ideal, and we'd love to move to a crowd-sourced model where other researchers can help validate and extend the database via a web interface. One such effort is brainspell.org, where you can manually annotate coordinates and articles in the Neurosynth database. We eventually plan to integrate the annotations on brainspell into Neurosynth. In the meantime, if you'd like to help, you can email us with the details of any problems you identify. It's particularly helpful if you can identify systematic problems with the parser (e.g., that it consistently misses the third column in a particular kind of table in ScienceDirect articles). We're unlikely to address errors on a case-by-case basis unless they're part of a broader pattern. Of course, if you'd like to dive in and help write a better parser, that's even better--all of the Automated Coordinate Extraction (ACE) code is available at github.
For technical reasons, the database currently includes only a subset of published neuroimaging studies. Specifically, to be included, a study has to (a) be in a journal that we currently cover (each new journal or publisher requires us to write a custom filter, which isn't trivial); (b) be available online in HTML form (we currently don't work with PDFs, and some journals only have HTML versions for more recent articles); and (c) contain at least one activation coordinate that's detectable by our parser. Aside from these criteria, there are a small number of studies that present special problems for various reasons (< 2% of the total). But rest assured that we don't deliberately exclude any study from the database, so if there's a study you're interested in that isn't represented, odds are it just isn't covered yet. The database is continually growing as we have time to write filters for new journals, so check back from time to time.
The results you see incorporate an automated correction for differences in stereotactic space. Specifically, we use a simple algorithm to determine whether a study is reporting results in MNI or Talairach space, and we convert Talairach results to MNI using the Lancaster et al (2007) transform. This doesn't work perfectly, but we can correctly detect the space being used about 80% of the time. In our manuscript, we report some supplemental analyses validating this approach. We plan to further improve the space detection algorithm when we have the time, and anticipate that with some work, we'll be able to achieve nearly perfect performance.
Depends. There's no question that the 'lexical assumption' we make will fail in many individual cases. For instance, many studies might use the word 'pain' in the context of emotional rather than physical pain, which might partly explain why we see a fair amount of amygdala activation in the meta-analysis map for pain (though much of that probably reflects the fact that pain is a salient and affectively negative signal). But ultimately it's an empirical question, and for the most part, the answer seems to be that, at least for relatively broad domains (e.g., working memory, language, emotion, etc.), individual terms are in fact a reasonably good substitute for much more careful coding of studies. If you compare the maps on this website with those that have been previously published in much more careful analyses (see our manuscript for examples), we think you'll be pleasantly surprised. So while we certainly don't see the current lexical approach as the final word, and ultimately hope to move to more refined approaches (e.g., we're currently working on topic modeling approaches that go beyond individual words or phrases), we feel pretty good about using words as a proxy for processes. The main limitation right now is a lack of specificity (i.e., narrower constructs like disgust are difficult to isolate from broader ones like negative emotion), and that's at the top of our agenda for improvement.
Yes, but we don't see this as any more of a concern for this type of analysis than for others. There's no question that biases in the primary literature skew the results of automated meta-analyses. We don't doubt that there's a general tendency towards confirmation bias, so that researchers are more likely than they should be to report that the amygdala is involved in emotion, that the left IFG is involved in speech production, that S2 is involved in tactile sensation, and so on. But it's important to recognize that this isn't really a limitation of our particular approach, and is a much more general problem. We all know, for example, that researchers are much more likely to look for and report emotion-related activation in the amgydala than in, say, motor cortex. Confirmation bias is unquestionably a huge problem for an automated meta-analysis, but we think it's just as big a problem for individual fMRI studies or other kinds of meta-analyses.
There are two reasons for this. One is that we didn't want to arbitrarily restrict the lexicon to just those words that we personally found meaningful. Some of the terms we think are uninteresting might be of considerable interest to someone else. Since there's no real cost to making additional terms available, we decided to make the list as comprehensive as possible in the latest version of Neurosynth.
The other reason we left non-content terms in is that they provide a nice baseline for evaluating the results of terms that we do care about. Since there's no particular reason why terms like 'several' or 'through' should be associated with specific patterns of activation, the expectation is that meta-analysis of such terms should reveal little or no activation. That's exactly what turns out to be true of most non-content words. In contrast, most of the terms researchers are likely to care about reveal robust patterns of activation, which gives us all the more reason to think the approach is working well.
There are three reasons why images may take a while to display in the interactive viewer when you first load a page. First, the image files themselves are fairly large (typically around 1 MB each), and most pages on Neurosynth display multiple images simultaneously. This means that your browser is usually receiving 1 - 3 MB of data on each request. Needless to say, the images can't be rendered until they've been received, so users on slower connections may have to wait a bit.
Lastly, some images are only generated on demand--for example, if you're the first user to vist a particular brain location, you'll enjoy the privilege of waiting for the coactivation image for that voxel to be generated anew. This will typically only take a second or two, but can take as long as a minute in rare cases (specifically, when too many users are accessing Neurosynth and we need to spin up another background worker to handle the load).
Because the overlays have a resolution of 2mm, when you enter a set of coordinates manually, they'll be rounded to the nearest point we have data for. There are no available data at odd coordinates (e.g., [-11, 35, 27]).
The images you see are thresholded to correct for multiple comparisons. We use a false discovery rate (FDR) criterion of .01, meaning that, on average, you can expect about 1% of the voxels you see activated in any given map to be false positives (though the actual proportion will vary and is impossible to determine).
When you click the download link below the map you're currently viewing, you'll start downloading a 3D image corresponding to the map you currently have loaded. The downloaded images are in NIFTI format, and the files are gzipped to conserve space. All major neuroimaging software packages should be able to read these images in without any problems. The images are all nominally in MNI152 2mm space (the default space in SPM and FSL), though there's a bit more to it than that, because technically we don't account very well for stereotactic differences between studies in the underlying database (we convert Talairach to MNI, but it's imperfect, and we don't account for more subtle differences between, e.g., FSL and SPM templates). For a more detailed explanation, see the paper.
Note that the downloaded images are not dynamically adjusted to reflect the viewing options you currently have set in your browser. For instance, if you've adjusted the settings to only display negative activations at a threshold of z = -7 or lower, clicking the download link won't give you an image with only extremely strong negative activations--it'll give you the original (FDR-corrected) image. Of course, you can easily recreate what you're seeing in your browser by adjusting the thresholds correspondingly in your off-line viewer.
Posterior probability map: the estimated probability of a term being used given the presence of activation (i.e., P(Term|Activation)).
The reverse inference maps provides somewhat different (and, in our view, more useful) information. Whereas the forward inference maps tell you about the consistency of activation for a given term, the reverse inference maps tell you about the relatively selectivity with which regions activate. Strictly speaking, these maps reflect a comparison between all the studies in our database that contain a term and all those that don't. So for instance, the fact that the amygdala shows very strong activation in the reverse inference map for emotion implies that studies that use the term emotion frequently are much more likely to report amygdala activation than studies that don't use the term emotion. That's important, because it controls for base rate differences between regions. Meaning, some regions (e.g., dorsal medial frontal cortex and lateral PFC) play a very broad role in cognition, and hence tend to be consistently activated for many different terms, despite lacking selectivity. The reverse inference maps let you make more confident claims that a given region is involved relatively selectively in a particular process, and isn't involved in just about every task.
Documentation for the Neurosynth core tools is admittedly sparse at the moment. That said, the examples folder in the github repository contains a number of worked examples that illustrates various uses of the code. Probably the best place to start is with the demo IPython notebook, which can be viewed online here.

Q: How to track members and call their same-name method at one place at compile time? I've got some widgets of different types. The widgets all have a method Update().
A top widget with member widgets needs to call all its members' Update() method in its UpdateMembers() method.
struct WidgetA{
    void Update();
};
struct WidgetB{
    void Update();
};
struct TopWidget{
    WidgetA w1;
    WidgetB w2;
    //other widgets

    void UpdateMembers(){
        w1.Update();
        w2.Update();
        //other widgets
    }
};

Manually updating UpdateMembers() when TopWidget's member list changes is error prone, so I need to do that automatically. The following code does the job, but it uses global states and has overhead in space and time. How can I do its job with some compile time programming?
#include <vector>
struct Updatable;

static std::vector<Updatable*> g_vec;

struct Updatable{
    Updatable(){g_vec.push_back(this);}
    virtual void Update()=0;
    virtual ~Updatable();
};

struct WidgetA:Updatable{
    void Update()override;
};
struct WidgetB:Updatable{
    void Update()override;
};
struct TopWidget{
    WidgetA wa;
    WidgetB wb;
    //other widgets

    void UpdateMembers(){
        for(auto w:g_vec){
            w->Update();
        }
    }
    ~TopWidget(){
        g_vec.clear();
    }
};

A: As you ask for compile time solution without dynamic registering stuff, you may want something like the following:
struct WidgetA{
    void Update(){ std::cout << "Update A" << std::endl;}
};
struct WidgetB{
    void Update(){ std::cout << "Update B" << std::endl;}
};

template < typename ... CHILD_WIDGETS >
struct TopWidget{
    //other widgets
    std::tuple< CHILD_WIDGETS...> childs{};

    void UpdateMembers(){
        std::apply([](auto&&... element) { ((element.Update()),...); }, childs );
    }
};

int main()
{
    TopWidget< WidgetA, WidgetB > tw;
    tw.UpdateMembers();
}

In this example all member widget types are known at compile time which makes it possible to store all this types as a tuple. And execute a function for every tuple element is quite easy as we have std::apply which does the job.
BTW: There is no need to make the whole class a template, maybe it is enough to have the tuple elements created directly if you do not need to have the same class with different member widget types in the same time.
see it running

A: Don't use global state. Let the Updateable register themself at their parent:
#include <vector>

struct Updatable;

struct Updater{
    std::vector<Updatable*> g_vec;
    void register_for_updates(Updatable* u){
        g_vec.push_back(u);
    }
    void update();
};

struct Updatable{
    Updatable(Updater* u) { u->register_for_updates(this);}
    virtual void Update()=0;
    virtual ~Updatable();
};

void Updater::update() {
    for (const auto u : g_vec) {
        u->Update();
    }
}

struct WidgetA:Updatable{
    WidgetA(Updater* u) : Updatable(u) {}
    void Update()override;
};
struct WidgetB:Updatable{
    WidgetB(Updater* u) : Updatable(u) {}
    void Update()override;
};
struct TopWidget : Updater {
    WidgetA wa;
    WidgetB wb;
    TopWidget() : wa(this),wb(this) {}
    void UpdateMembers(){
        Updater::update();
    }
};

... but it uses global states and has overhead in space and time

Not sure what you call "overhead". If it is the vector, then thats not really overhead, but just what you need to get the job done. As long as C++ has no reflection you need to keep track of members to be updated yourself.


ABERDEEN, Scotland – Across rolling dunes, Trump International Golf Links rises above the North Sea along Scotland's northeastern coast.
It is a stunning setting, but also a setting filled with controversy.
The course lies partially on on Foveran Links, an area designated by the United Kingdom as a Site of Scientific Special Interest (SSSI), which is protected land, raising concern among environmentalists since well before President Donald Trump's company opened it in 2012.
Protected or scientifically important land used for a golf course is controversial but do the economic benefits outweigh the environmental?
Before Trump International broke ground, the landscape was a "special and unique sand dune" system according to Jonathan Smith, founder and executive director of the Golf Environmental Organization, an international non-profit based in Prestwick, Scotland, that works with courses worldwide to make them environmentally friendly and sustainable.
The term "links golf" comes from "linksland," the name given to the sandy areas sculpted by wind and water that link the land to the sea. It is the most recognizable feature of Scottish golf.
However, those linksland areas also are environmentally fragile, which is why the Trump development was so controversial.
To be clear, the SSSI designation does not prohibit construction of a golf course on the land.
Areas with SSSI designation still can be developed in Scotland if the project is expected to be of great economic benefit.
The Scottish government made such a determination regarding Trump International in a report released in 2008, concluding that the economic and social advantages of the development at national, regional and local levels justified the potentially adverse environmental consequences.
The report made the case that the course could bring 1,400 jobs and contribute $83 million (U.S.) annually to the Aberdeenshire area while addressing a need to diversify the regional economy. With that, Trump International received the go-ahead.
"The question is, should we be worried about losing relatively rare and unusual natural habitats to build something that provides economic benefit?" said David Patterson, executive director at Marine Alliance for Science and Technology, a consortium of organizations that support a healthier environment through policies informed by marine research.
The specific area Trump sought to build on included part of a dune system that was moving along the shoreline. These ever-evolving dunes are a naturally occurring phenomenon with rolling ridges of sand, according to Scottish National Heritage (SNH), a public body devoted to protecting and promoting Scotland's sensitive areas.
SNH classified the Foveran Links as one of most unique sand-dune habitats in the UK.
In its most recent list of the top 100 courses in the world, Golf magazine ranked Trump's layout in Aberdeen 46th, describing its "glorious North Sea vistas" and touting it as a possible future home to the British Open, one of golf's four major championships.
Despite the acclaim and breathtaking scenery, the development remains controversial.
Trump International first had to convince Scottish National Heritage and the Scottish government of the development's potential benefit to the area.
Initially, SNH declined the application. In 2008, it determined the development would damage the SSSI area. However, the Scottish government took the decision out of the hands of the SNH.
The SNH counseled Trump International that the site should no longer by classified as SSSI. They concluded that the site has been "partially destroyed" due to course development, according to a report from the British Broadcasting Corporation.
The reaction in Aberdeen was mixed.
Hedberg said Trump International continues to try to better the community and surrounding environment.
Six years have passed since the course opened and there is now hard evidence on the impact the course is having on the area.
Studies have found that some of the original promises from Trump International have not been met, including infrastructure improvements such as a sewer link from the course to the city. And the studies found the number of jobs created has fallen short of projections.
Trump International has made changes to make the property more friendly to the public. For instance, public access is now available through the course to the beach, and the development plays host to community events for local golfers, charities and ladies groups, Hedberg said.
"I think the course speaks for itself," Hedberg said. "It is what people come here for, primarily because of its incredible beauty. It's important for Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire to get their fair share of the tourism.

Long-running YouTube network Machinima has closed its doors.
Last month, the company's official YouTube went dark, taking all of the content with it. However, Machinima's parent company Otter Media has confirmed that the company is now gone completely as it merges with Fullscreen.
Over 81 staff members have been laid off in the process, and the creators of the videos that were removed from Machinima's channel currently have no way of getting them back.
"A select number of Machinima employees remain with the company, which is now actively providing services to supercharge the combined portfolio of Otter Media," a Machinima spokesperson said.
"Machinima has ceased its remaining operations, which includes layoffs. Russell Arons remains with Machinima, and is assisting with transitional activities as she explores new opportunities."
Machinima was formed 19 years ago to support hobbyist video creators and experienced significant traction with the launch of YouTube a few years later.

Despite a booming market for electric vehicles in China, Kandi Technologies (KNDI) stock has lost around 60% of its value in 2015. This seems unjustified, especially considering that Kandi's financial performance has been improving at a rapid pace.
For example, last quarter, Kandi reported revenue of $48 million, up 45.5% from the same period last year. In addition, Kandi declared second quarter net income of $4.9 million, up from $3.2 million in the second quarter of 2014. The growth in net income was mainly driven by lower operating expenses in the quarter.
Looking ahead, I think that Kandi will be able to sustain this level of performance as the company will benefit from a rapid increase in demand for new electric vehicles in China, its home market.
"In Shanghai, the city's government plans to build 6,000 charging points by 2015, while it has a target of 13,000 alternative-energy vehicles on its roads during the same time frame. It's also working with companies including Bayerische Motoren Werke AG to build charging facilities."
Hence, the opportunity in the Chinese market is strong and Kandi is adopting smart moves to make the most of it.
Kandi is witnessing robust growth in its EV parts and EV product sales. Sales of EV parts last quarter grew 168.3% year-over-year. Meanwhile, Kandi's JV company successfully introduced the direct sales initiative during April, and sold 643 EV products during the second quarter. In addition, through its joint venture, Kandi sold 3,803 EV products to the Micro Public Transportation initiative. All in all, the joint venture recorded net sales of 4,446 EV products last quarter. In addition, the company's new model, the K17 Kandi Cyclone, is now available for sale from the beginning of the third quarter.
Apart from the introduction of new models to improve its market, Kandi is also investing in infrastructure. As a part of this initiative, Kandi has strategically entered into a key partnership with ZTE Corporation to enhance its micro public transportation program.
In addition, in June, Kandi entered into a strategic deal with Alibaba (China) Company Limited, through which Kandi brand EVs are eligible to use Alibaba as their operating system. Kandi's vehicles will use Alibaba's technology when connecting separate platform accounts to integrate the Internet Plus platform into its core electric vehicle technologies. This planned agreement with Alibaba is forecasted to improve the intelligence of Kandi's EV products and therefore enhance user experience.
Kandi's agreements with ZTE and Alibaba will substantially expand its market share and provide it with superior technological capabilities to increasingly develop and deploy new products and services.
TheStreet ratings team rates Kandi Technologies Group as a "Hold" with a ratings score of C, primarily driven by a mix of factors, both positive and negative. Kandi's major strengths include its solid revenue growth, strong financial position with low debt levels and a substantial return on equity. Contrastingly, certain weaknesses include disappointing operating cash flows, weak profit margins, and a generally poor stock performance.
However, I think that since Kandi is a growth stage company, investors should not focus on the cash flow, and the company's high debt will allow it to fund its expansion moves going forward. Moreover, the company's profit margin of 14.17% seems satisfactory, especially considering that rival Tesla has a negative profit margin of 14%. As a result, Kandi Technologies' weak performance in 2015 is an opportunity to buy more shares of this fast-growing EV company.

The Shootouts hit the mark with new album 'Bullseye'

By Anne Nickoloff, cleveland.com
AKRON, Ohio -- "Lean and mean" -- that's how Ryan Humbert refers to The Shootouts' newest album "Bullseye," out Friday, April 30.
The album, recorded in 2020 just before the coronavirus pandemic led to shutdowns around the world, is the second from the Akron honky-tonk band, following 2019 debut, "Quick Draw."
And, it offers a taste of what a Shootouts concert is like.
"There aren't a lot of overdubs, we didn't really bring in a bunch of studio musicians. There are a few added elements here and there, but for the most part it really sounds like a Shootouts live show," Humbert said. "We're proud of that. We wanted to be able to get our live sound across with this record."

Humbert, the front man of The Shootouts, connected with Grammy-nominated musician Chuck Mead (a founder of country band BR5-49) following the release of "Quick Draw," and Mead agreed to produce the band's new album.
Humbert, singer Emily Bates, guitarist Brian Poston, drummer Dylan Gomez and bassist Ryan McDermott headed to Nashville to record with Mead in March 2020.
While they were there, everything changed.
"Here we are, arriving in Nashville on March 8, starting the record on March 9, not really knowing that the pandemic was about to really kick in," Humbert said. "The whole world changed in the six days we were in the studio… We hopped in the car to head home with a totally clear calendar, and a brand new album that we didn't know what to do with."
Working with Mead brought needed guidance and energy to the studio during a hectic time, Humbert said.
"To Chuck's credit, he kept things on the rails," Humbert said. "It would have been easy to blow this off, and as far as a producer goes, he did everything right. He really knew what to do and when to do it. He knew when to put his arm around you, he knew when to crack the whip."
Because of the pandemic, The Shootouts had to delay "Bullseye's" release to spring 2021. However, the delay allowed the band to take its time mixing the album -- and it gave the musicians time to find a record deal, which they landed with Soundly Music in Nashville.
For many listeners and media outlets, "Bullseye" hits the mark. The high-energy project has received nods in American Songwriter and Rolling Stone, and has had radio play in Australia, New Zealand, Spain, Germany and the United Kingdom, Humbert said.
"As a kid that was reading Rolling Stone 20 years ago, you don't think that in the future your band is going to be featured by Rolling Stone," Humbert said. "It's really an honor to be able to put out music and have people respond well to it. Not everybody gets that. We're just going to keep doing what we're doing and trying to connect with folks."
Many of those connections have already been formed through The Shootouts' live shows, where some of the songs on "Bullseye" have been performed for years. The album includes a number of rollicking, high-energy crowd favorites like "Rattlesnake Whiskey" and "Saturday Night Town," and also sneaks in a couple of slower tracks. "Another Mother" honors Humbert's late mother, who suddenly died in 2018.
"It is the most important thing I've ever written," Humbert said about the track. "My sister and I were best friends with our mom… I knew I always wanted to honor her in music. It took me a while to get around to that, emotionally and then mentally to wrap my head around that."
All in all, the 12 songs on "Bullseye" highlight The Shootout's intentional resurgence of traditional honky-tonk music, veering away from the more widespread country-pop that has defined the genre. That effort has made the band stand out from the get-go, and continues to make The Shootouts a must-see act in Northeast Ohio.
"There are a lot of people out there that don't know they like country music. So many times I've heard people say, 'I don't like country music, but I love you guys.' We're as country as it gets," Humbert said. "I think we're just slowly but surely out there trying to turn the tide and carry the torch and let people know there's a lot more to the country music world."
"Bullseye" is available for order in vinyl, CD and digital formats from The Shootouts website, along with merch bundles. Visit shootoutsmusic.com.
The Shootouts will celebrate the release of "Bullseye" with a virtual performance and interview at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, April 28. You can tune in here.

"Software Intrusion Detection Evaluation System: A Cost-Based Evaluatio" by Agbotiname L. Imoize, Taiwo Oyedare et al.
In this paper, we consider a cost-based extension of intrusion detection capability (CID). An objective metric motivated by information theory is presented and based on this formulation; a package for computing the intrusion detection capability of intrusion detection system (IDS), given certain input parameters is developed using Java. In order to determine the expected cost at each IDS operating point, the decision tree method of analysis is employed, and plots of expected cost and intrusion detection capability against false positive rate were generated. The point of intersection between the maximum intrusion detection capability and the expected cost is selected as the optimal operating point. Considering an IDS in the context of its intrinsic ability to detect intrusions at the least expected cost, findings revealed that the optimal operating point is the most suitable for the given IDS. The cost-based extension is used to select optimal operating point, calculate expected cost, and compare two actual intrusion detectors. The proposed cost-based extension of intrusion detection capability will be very useful to information technology (IT), telecommunication firms, and financial institutions, for making proper decisions in evaluating the suitability of an IDS for a specific operational environment.

Central Dunfermline Community Council (CDCC) acts as a link between its 20,000 residents and the local authority. They keep everyone involved through their Facebook page, flyers and posters and representation at various local events.
One of the main issues for the Community Council has been Dunfermline Public Park.
Dunfermline is well known for Pittencrieff Park and its many amenities, but Dunfermline Public Park near the centre of town had been rather neglected until recently.
On recognising the community resource was crying out to be utilised, the Community Council commissioned a Greenspaces Scotland survey to consult with local residents about their thoughts on and vision for the space. The park was mostly used as a green access route from home to a variety of key destinations, the town centre, the schools, East End Park and the train station. However, there were no signs or maps at the entrances welcoming park users to the park and no indication of the facilities available. It was also noted that the views into the park were limited and some overgrown areas meant that access points weren't being used to their full potential as they were unattractive and perceived as being hazardous.
The report identified a number of suggestions for improvement and development and the Community Council embarked on the process of finding funding and utilising the local knowledge and expertise of volunteers to implement the plan.
In 2013, the group received a grant of £2,923 from the ScotRail Foundation towards the cost of purchasing materials to improve the unkempt and hidden entrance to the public park located at the corner of Dunfermline Train Station car park.
The overgrown section was cleared and signage installed to promote a walking/cycling route to the town centre and beyond as well as local information on history of the park and the station/railway. The work was undertaken in partnership with the local Skills Centre offering work experience to young people and ex-offenders seeking to return to work.
This is just one of many projects that the Community Council is working on which will all contribute to a vibrant community space that encourages community interaction and participation.

In a relatively open handicap for 3-y old it is the filly WILLOW BROOK that makes an appeal. She was moved to a new yard this season and started the campaign with a nice second behind Klopp closing all the way to line. She is 1 lb better today and has a good run on her feet in her favour and she should be in the calculations again.

Council Approves City Income Tax on High Earners
Council unanimously approved legislation today creating a city income tax on high-income households to move Seattle toward a fairer, more progressive tax system. The legislation (Council Bill 119002) is intended to reduce regressive taxes such as property taxes, and finance priorities like addressing the homelessness crisis and offsetting federal budget cuts. The legislation will place a 2.25% tax rate on income over $250,000 year for individuals, or $500,000 for married couples filing jointly. The tax will not affect any income earned below those thresholds, and is estimated to generate $140 million per year.
Councilmember Lisa Herbold (District 1, West Seattle & South Park), the legislation's co-sponsor, said, "Seattle is a progressive city, but you wouldn't know it by looking at our regressive tax structure, and that includes the taxes paid by small businesses. When our poorest households are paying 16% of their income in state and local taxes while our highest earners are paying only 2.4%, we have a very clear problem. Today we are taking a step in the right direction, toward tax fairness."
Councilmember Kshama Sawant (District 3, Central Seattle), the legislation's co-sponsor, said, "We live in a deeply unequal society. Throughout history, it has been mass movements of ordinary workers and young people, not the political representatives of big business, that have won change. Since I first ran for office, Socialist Alternative and I have organized for a $15 minimum wage, taxing the rich, and rent control. Our growing movement has now won $15 and taxing the rich. We can continue organizing to win not only rent control, but a world free of exploitation and oppression."
The legislation requires the funds be used to:
lower the property tax burden and the impact of other regressive taxes;
replace federal funding currently received by the City that may be lost due to federal budget cuts;
provide public services such as housing, education, and transit; creating green jobs and meeting carbon reduction goals; and,
implement and administer the tax.
Council set a goal of adopting legislation by July 10, 2017 in a resolution approved earlier this year. The income tax legislation was developed collaboratively between Councilmember Kshama Sawant (District 3, Central Seattle), Councilmember Lisa Herbold (District 1, West Seattle & South Park), Mayor Ed Murray, City Attorney Pete Holmes, and a coalition of advocates from the Trump Proof Seattle campaign.
City Attorney Pete Holmes said, "I recognize there may be challenges, but as your City Attorney I know we have assembled an outstanding legal team to craft the best legislation possible and defend it."
According to a June SurveyUSA poll commissioned by KING-TV and KUOW, 66% of polled Seattle voters support a high earner income tax.
John R. Burbank, Executive Director of the Economic Opportunity Institute and member of the Trump Proof Seattle coalition said, "With this income tax, merely eight months after Trump was elected President, Seattle is again leading the way forward with progressive and equitable public policy which helps our citizens, regardless of the shenanigans in Washington DC!"
Unless challenged in court, the income tax on high earners will apply to income earned after January 1, 2018. Collection of 2018 taxes will begin April 15, 2019. After the Mayor signs the legislation into law, the City's Finance and Administrative Services Department (FAS) will undergo a rulemaking process for implementation and administration of the tax. FAS will report back to Council with a finalized set of rules by November 15, 2018.
