The first decision illustrates how a car benefit tax charge may be avoided after the end of the relevant tax year.
In Peter Marshall  UKFTT046 (TC), Mr Marshall was assessed on a taxable benefit on his company car. Mr Marshall made payments to 'make good' the taxable benefit but these payments were made outside the relevant tax year.
HMRC denied an offset of amounts paid – because they were paid outside the tax year; however, the First-tier Tribunal, perhaps surprisingly, held that an employee's offsetting payment does not need to be made in the tax year in question.
The second decision provides guidance on how relief should apply when employee bonuses are clawed back.
In Julian Martin  UKFTT 040 (TC), Mr Martin signed an employment agreement which included a signing on bonus of £250,000; however, the bonus would be clawed back if he left his employer within five years. Mr Martin resigned within the five year period and had to repay £162,500 to his employer.
The First-tier Tribunal sensibly decided that the repayment of £162,500 must be 'negative taxable income' for 2006/07.
This is an important case because before the publication of this decision it was not clear how to treat the claw back of conditional bonuses. This decision is good news for taxpayers because it means that relief is still available even where the taxpayer is out of time to make an error or mistake claim in relation to the original receipt.
In D V Thomas  UKFTT 043, Mr Thomas had been employed by Garrard & Co as Crown jeweller since 1986. Following his 65th birthday Mr Thomas took a two to three month break. In his absence, a new CEO was appointed, who brought with him a new management style. When Mr Thomas returned after his break he found that his office had been moved to the basement. Shortly afterwards, Mr Thomas received a letter to tell him that his employer wanted him to retire on 1 February 2009. If he took no further action he would be treated as agreeing to their proposal and receive a payment equivalent to six months of his base salary.
Realising he was not wanted, Mr Thomas did not challenge the letter. He believed that the payment was compensation for giving up his employment rights and as such that the payment was only taxable to the extent it exceeded £30,000. The First-tier Tribunal held that the payment was fully taxable as employment income. The letter simply said that the payment would be made on his retirement. There was not mention of compensation for giving up his employment rights and therefore the £30,000 exemption did not apply.
For further information on these cases or other employment tax issues, please contact the TaxDesk on 0845 4900 509 and ask for Priya Dutta.


This story was originally published in April, 2017. On April 1st 2019, the Drive Clean Program for light duty passenger vehicles was cut completely by the Ford Government.
Ontario Drivers must complete a Drive Clean Emission Test for vehicles seven years old or more. The test must be done every two years before renewing your vehicle's registration or during a transfer of ownership.
The Drive Clean test ensures your vehicle is operating without producing a high level of harmful emissions. While most new vehicles are more efficient, older vehicles tend to have a higher risk of failing the Drive Clean test.
Your vehicle must receive a "pass" or "conditional pass" in order to renew your vehicle's registration. You cannot renew your vehicle until you receive a pass or conditional pass on your test. Driving without valid registration can result in charges and fines.
The good news is, as of April. 1st, 2017, the Drive Clean Test fee is one less cost Ontario Drivers have to worry about. The Ontario government has decided to get rid of the fee for your first test at renewal time.
As of April. 1st, 2017, Ontario Drivers will no longer be required to pay the Drive Clean Emissions Test.
This means, Ontario Drivers will no longer be required to pay the fee associated with the test but, you will still be required to complete an emissions test upon renewal if your vehicle is seven years or older. You will be required to pay the fee for retesting your vehicle if the first test is failed.
The Ontario government has also changed the law regarding consecutive Conditional Passes. After receiving a conditional pass, your next test must result in an unconditional pass. All repairs are at the owner's expense until the vehicle passes an inspection.
Once your vehicle passes, you will receive a Vehicle Inspection Report indicating "Pass". A Vehicle Inspection Report is mandatory to complete your registration renewal or a transfer of ownership.
Some vehicles require testing, even if they are not seven years old. You can find out if your vehicle requires a test here. To check your vehicle's status, you will need your vehicle registration and the date on your license plate sticker.
If you drive a Volkswagen Porsche or Audi, a recall may affect your emissions testing. To learn more about the recall, visit the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change website here.

Racing Queensland welcomes government announcement of $26 million for thoroughbreds
by Clear Moutain Fairview on October 26, 2018
As distributed by Racing Queensland – 26 October 2018
Racing Queensland Chairman Steve Wilson has welcomed the State Government's announcement of a critical $26 million in funding for thoroughbred racing that will support industry viability and position the sport to grow its $1.2 billion annual contribution to the state economy.
Prize money increases will be delivered in two stages with an immediate $18 million increase effective November 1, 2018 and, a further $8 million increase in six (6) months.
$26 million will be injected into prizemoney after lengthy negotiations with the State Government (image supplied).
Mr Wilson said: "We would like to thank the government for their willingness to engage on this issue, and for listening to the concerns of the 42,000 passionate and committed individuals employed and engaged within the industry, half of which reside in regional and rural Queensland."
"Racing Queensland was pleased to be involved in this frank consultation process and we are pleased with the outcome. This announcement by government will directly improve cash flow and industry viability for Queensland racing participants.
"This announcement will allow Racing Queensland to build on the foundations put in place over the past two years and to focus on delivering the government-approved Infrastructure Plan."
Racing Queensland CEO Brendan Parnell said the returns would provide a significant boost to cash flow for participant viability.
"The government's announcement is positive news for the future of racing and will go a long way toward returning confidence to the Queensland industry," he said.
"I look forward to working with the Racing Queensland team and board over the coming days to determine how the thoroughbred funding will be allocated.
"On harness and greyhounds we will continue to work with government to improve industry viability for those codes."

New Incentives is a non-governmental organization (NGO) that operates in Nigeria, running a conditional cash transfer (CCT) program. They aim to increase infantile vaccination through cash transfers, raising public awareness and reducing the frequency of vaccine stockout.

In Nigeria, New Incentives is known as the All Babies Are Equal (ABAE) Initiative, due to the name New Incentives not being accepted for registration. The organization is sometimes referred to as NI-ABAE. In November 2020 the charity evaluator GiveWell listed New Incentives as one of its top nine charities.

History
New Incentives was founded in 2011 by Patrick Stadler, Pratyush Agarwal, and Svetha Janumpalli. HIV prevention was originally at the heart of their strategy. Women could receive cash transfers upon registration of their pregnancy, HIV testing and birth delivery at hospital. Other at risk-pregnancies were later included, such as anemia, hepatitis and tuberculosis.

New incentives now focuses on immunisation of under-five children.

Operations
The New Incentives CCT program is run in North West Nigeria in the states of Jigawa, Katsina and Zamfara. This region has one of the lowest vaccination coverages in the world, less than 25% of the infants are vaccinated.

As of february 2021 Nigeria has an under-five mortality rate of 117.2 per 1000 live births, the highest in the world. Of these children about 40% died from vaccine-preventable diseases like pneumonia, diarrhea and measles.

The under five child mortality rate differs from state to state, with Kebbi having the highest (252 deaths per 1000), Ogun having the lowest (30 deaths per 1000), and the North West region having the highest regional rate at 187 deaths per 1000 according to the Nigeria Demographic and Health survey from 2018.

The cash transfers from New Incentives are conditioned by the vaccination of infants with the BCG vaccine, the pentavalent vaccine, the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine and the meningococcal vaccine, which immunize them against tuberculosis, measles, pneumococcal infection and hepatitis B, among others.

Other activities include improving the supply chain of vaccines and vaccine information campaigns.

Effectiveness
A randomized control trial conducted by IDInsight between July 2017 and February 2020 in North West Nigeria showed that children in NI-ABAE areas were 27% more likely to be fully vaccinated.

In a paper published in 2005 aiming to determine the most cost effective child health interventions in sub-Saharan Africa, immunization was deemed one of the most effective interventions, after micronutrient supplementation.

In November 2020 the charity evaluator GiveWell listed New Incentives as one of its top nine charities. This evaluation was partly based on the randomized control trial conducted by IDInsight as well as on what they perceive to be the program's cost-effectiveness, transparency and room for growth. However, some weaknesses were still underlined by GiveWell, regarding the early stage of development and potential governmental opposition.

Q: Search with Levenshetein algorithm using more keywords i'm trying to write a simple search engine, these are my tables:
wordlist
-----------------
id   |   word
 1   |   telecamera
 2   |   outside

wordoccurrence
---------------------------------------
id   |   wordlist_id |  product_id
 1   |      1        |      1
 2   |      1        |      2
 3   |      2        |      1
 4   |      2        |      2

product
---------------------------------------
  id   |  description             | type
   1   |   telecamera outside     |   1
   2   |   telecamera outside     |   2

Now, this is my poor query:
SELECT p.* , levenshtein(w.word,  "telecamera") AS score_1,
levenshtein(w2.word,  "outside") AS score_2,
w.word as myword, w2.word as myword2
FROM product p, wordlist w, wordlist w2, wordoccurrence o
WHERE (o.wordlist_id = w.id or o.wordlist_id = w2.id) and w.word != w2.word
GROUP BY score_1, score_2, p.id
HAVING score_1 <6 AND score_2 < 6

For now, don't consider levenshtein about the length of the terms. (6 is an example)
I'd like to have 2 rows (because there are two different types) as result if user searches "telecamera outside".
I want an AND, not a OR for search terms.
Thank you a lot.
Alberto

A: CREATE TABLE Table1
    (`id` int, `score_1` int, `score_2` int)
;

INSERT INTO Table1
    (`id`, `score_1`, `score_2`)
VALUES
(1, 0.000568, 0.043426),
(2, 0.000983, 0.179062)
;

This is the desired result set.
I'd like to have also the result set where there are the minimum score_1 and score_2.
I hope you meant this Strawberry. Thanks a lot.

Elders should be "grave and prudent" according to Book of Church Order 8-1. At the 45th General Assembly, Rocky Mountain Presbytery took issue with the word choice "grave" and proposed new language.
"'Grave' today connotes 'gravely ill,' 'gravely concerned,' 'grave implications' and it seemed to me it was time to update that," Minnery says.
Minnery turned his concern into an overture that recommended the word be changed to "dignified," based on newer translations of the Bible. While the motion failed to pass in 2017, several presbyteries (including Eastern Pennsylvania and Tidewater) have submitted revised versions of the overture to the 46th General Assembly.
As well as replacing "grave" with "dignified" in 8-1, Tidewater's overture asks that the phrase "spiritually fruitful" be added. The phrase refers to the "fruit of the Spirit" in Galatians 5.
"The word 'spiritually fruitful' seems like a more well-rounded definition of what all mature Christians ought to be," Minnery says.
The overtures also request an addition to the language in 8-3—that an elder must "demonstrate hospitality to those inside and outside the church." According to the overtures, Paul uses the word "hospitality" in both of his descriptions of elder.
Teaching Elder David Dickson of Crosswater Presbyterian Church (Chesapeake, Virginia) says these wording changes will help bring clarity to the role of elder in the PCA.
Minnery says it matters to the watching world.

Show Related Q&As What are the Job Duties of an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT)? Emergency Medical Responder: Career and Salary Facts Emergency Medical Dispatcher: Career Profile, Job Outlook and Education Requirements What is an Emergency Medical Technologist?
Find out about the types of jobs you could pursue in emergency medical services. Read on to learn more about career options along with salary and licensure information. Schools offering Fire & Emergency Services degrees can also be found in these popular choices.
What Does a Career in Emergency Services Entail?
Emergency medical technicians and paramedics provide patients with ambulatory care before they reach a medical center. Their job is to safely transport the patient from the scene of the emergency to the hospital or medical institution while also treating their most urgent injuries, requiring emergency medical professionals to be extremely responsive under pressure. When assessing and treating a patient, they need to be able to extract information from the injured person or people around them in a calm and effective manner.
EMTs and paramedics receive rigorous training before they are put to work in the field, but their specific responsibilities will be dictated by their level of experience and certification. The following chart gives you an overview of what you need to know about entering this field.
What Duties Could I Have in an Emergency Medical Services Career?
Emergency medical technicians (EMTs) and paramedics (EMT-Ps) provide first aid and life support care to people who have suffered injuries, heart attacks and life-threatening illnesses. As an EMT or EMT-P, you'd perform emergency procedures on-site and in an ambulance, prioritizing the patient's needs under the direction of a physician. You'd also document a patient's condition, record procedures performed and submit your report to treating physicians and nurses.
As an EMT, you'd be the first at the scene of the accident to evaluate the patient's condition and perform cardiac or respiratory procedures. As a paramedic, you could administer medications, interpret electrocardiograms (EKGs) and use equipment that EMTs are not trained to operate.
Individual states dictate the level of training that you'll need to be an EMT or EMT-P. Training programs for all levels can be found in colleges, universities and technical schools. EMT-Basic training focuses on reacting to cardiac, trauma and respiratory emergencies and learning basic emergency procedures. You'd learn to assess the patient, manage bleeding, treat broken bones, clear airways and respond to cardiac arrest. An EMT-Intermediate program might prepare you to use advanced airway devices and provide medications.
A paramedic certificate program takes about a year to complete and involves classroom courses and hands-on training. You'd study anatomy and physiology, patient assessment, trauma, case management and medical emergencies. After completing a training program, you could qualify to take state licensing exams or obtain certification through the National Registry for Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT).
You'll need to be licensed as an EMT to enroll in a paramedic certificate program. If you'd like a more comprehensive education, you could enroll in paramedic associate's degree program. Although an advanced degree isn't necessary to work as an EMT or EMT-P, a bachelor's degree in emergency medical services or emergency medical services management could help you move into a management or supervisory role.
What Kind of Licensing or Certification Would I Need?
All states require you to be licensed to work as an EMT or paramedic. Most states offer different levels of licensing, which dictate the types of services you can perform. You might be able to obtain additional endorsements to a basic license, such as a pharmacology endorsement that allows you to provide drug treatments. Voluntary certification is available through NREMT, though some states use the credentialing exam for licensure. You could pursue basic, intermediate or advanced EMT certification or credential as a first responder or paramedic.
EMTs and EMT-Ps work indoors and outdoors, in any weather and at any hour. You could work as part of a team, alongside other emergency medical service professionals, firefighters and police officers. You might become part of a helicopter crew that airlifts patients to the nearest trauma center. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics stated that most people who perform emergency medical services work for ambulance service companies, and those who live in rural and suburban areas are usually volunteers (www.bls.gov).
There are not a great deal of other medical careers that are available without completing some kind of degree program, although one such option is to become a home health aide. Required to hold a high school diploma and undergo training, home health aides visit people in their homes to administer medication and provide help. Another option is to become a firefighter. Firefighters also need to gain a postsecondary nondegree award in order to work, providing help to people in need of rescue services by putting out fires and responding to emergency situations.
You may also want to consider becoming a police officer, aiding the community by fighting crime and keeping the peace. Police officers don't necessarily need a college degree, though the specific requirements will vary according to the seniority of the position.

Q: How to handle response encoding from urllib.request.urlopen() , to avoid TypeError: can't use a string pattern on a bytes-like object I'm trying to open a webpage using urllib.request.urlopen() then search it with regular expressions, but that gives the following error:

TypeError: can't use a string pattern on a bytes-like object

I understand why, urllib.request.urlopen() returns a bytestream, so re doesn't know the encoding to use. What am I supposed to do in this situation? Is there a way to specify the encoding method in a urlrequest maybe or will I need to re-encode the string myself? If so what am I looking to do, I assume I should read the encoding from the header info or the encoding type if specified in the html and then re-encode it to that?

A: You just need to decode the response, using the Content-Type header typically the last value. There is an example given in the tutorial too.
output = response.decode('utf-8')

A: With requests:
import requests

response = requests.get(URL).text

A: Here is an example simple http request (that I tested and works)...
address = "http://stackoverflow.com"
urllib.request.urlopen(address).read().decode('utf-8')

Make sure to read the documentation.

https://docs.python.org/3/library/urllib.request.html

If you want to do something more detailed GET/POST REQUEST.
import urllib.request
# HTTP REQUEST of some address
def REQUEST(address):
    req = urllib.request.Request(address)
    req.add_header('User-Agent', 'NAME (Linux/MacOS; FROM, USA)')
    response = urllib.request.urlopen(req)
    html = response.read().decode('utf-8')  # make sure its all text not binary
    print("REQUEST (ONLINE): " + address)
    return html

A: As for me, the solution is as following (python3):
resource = urllib.request.urlopen(an_url)
content =  resource.read().decode(resource.headers.get_content_charset())

A: I had the same issues for the last two days. I finally have a solution.
I'm using the info() method of the object returned by urlopen():

Olympian / TV Personality
The Olympic decathlete who transitioned from man to woman
Name at birth: Bruce Jenner
Caitlyn Jenner is the Olympic gold medalist whose male-to-female transition made her one of the leading American news stories of 2015. Caitlin Jenner first came to fame as Bruce Jenner, a male athlete who was the gold medalist in the decathlon at the 1976 Summer Games in Montreal. The victory coincided with the American bicentennial celebration, and a healthy blend of good looks and modest demeanor helped make Jenner a Wheaties-box symbol and celebrity. Jenner used that celebrity to carve out a career as a media personality -- including a few film appearances and a long-standing gig with NBC as a sports commentator -- and to embark on various entrepreneurial projects. Jenner pulled away from the spotlight during the late 1980s, but resurfaced in the 2000s with a new career on reality television shows, from I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! to Dancing with the Stars. Jenner gained much more exposure as a regular on the long-running TV series Keeping Up With the Kardashians, which launched in 2007; Jenner's third wife, Kris Kardashian, is the mother of super-celeb Kim Kardashian and her sisters. Jenner's fame took a further twist in 2015, when People.com reported on rumors that at age 65, Jenner was "transitioning into a woman." She then appeared on the June 2015 cover of Vanity Fair magazine, posing in a one-piece swimsuit with the headline "Call Me Caitlyn." Speaking of the cover photo shoot by Annie Leibovitz, Jenner told the magazine, "This shoot was about my life and who I am as a person. It's not about the fanfare, it's not about people cheering in the stadium, it's not about going down the street and everybody giving you 'that a boy, Bruce,' pat on the back... This is about your life." The day the photo was released online, Caitlyn Jenner tweeted, "I'm so happy after such a long struggle to be living my true self. Welcome to the world Caitlyn. Can't wait for you to get to know her/me." The E! Online cable network then announced that Caitlin Jenner would star in a documentary series, I Am Cait, which would " illustrate the star living her life as a transgender woman and telling her intimate story as she seeks out her 'new normal.'" That show ran for two seasons before being canceled in 2016.
As Bruce Jenner, she also competed in the decathlon at the 1972 Olympics in Munich, finishing 10th… Kris Kardashian is the ex-wife of Robert Kardashian, one of the lawyers who represented O.J. Simpson in his 1994 murder trial… Jenner has been married three times: to the former Chrystie Crownover from 1972 until their divorce in 1980; to actress Linda Thompson from 1981 until their divorce in 1986; and to Kris Kardashian from 1991 until their divorce in 2015. With Chrystie she has two children, Burt (b. 1978) and Cassandra (b. 1980); with Linda she has two sons, Brandon (b. 1981) and Brody (b. 1983); and with Kris she has two daughters, Kendall (b. 1995) and Kylie (b. 1997)… Caitlyn Jenner's sons, Brandon and Brody Jenner, starred in the short-lived 2005 TV show The Princes of Malibu.
