Don't Count on a Quick Tax Refund This Year, IRS Says
Treasury officials say the Internal Revenue Service will face 'enormous challenges' during this year's tax filing season.
Jan 10, 2022 1:34 PM EST
The Treasury Department warned Monday of a "frustrating filing season" for taxpayers and tax preparers amid delays caused by the pandemic, budget cuts and federal stimulus measures.
Treasury officials said "the IRS is facing enormous challenges related to the pandemic and years of underfunding by Congress."
"These pressures will make for a frustrating filing season for taxpayers and tax preparers," officials said. "The historic gutting of the IRS will lead to a backlog of processing returns, the inability for the IRS to answer the phones and respond to taxpayer questions efficiently, and a lower quality of service."
IRS officials enter filing season with an unaddressed backlog of roughly 1 million returns, but this year the IRS will enter the filing season facing "several times" that, Treasury officials said.
The IRS closed last filing season with more than 35 million unprocessed returns, a fourfold increase from the last year before the pandemic.
The pandemic forced the closure of many in-person centers where paper forms are processed, while also affecting the IRS workforce.
Related: When are Taxes Due? Important Tax Deadlines and Dates
Budget cuts to the IRS prior to the pandemic led to a roughly 25% decline in the size of its staff.
Treasury officials said the IRS workforce is the same size it was in 1970, despite the population growing by 60%.
The processing technology dates back to the 1960s and there are also fewer auditors than at any time since World War II.
In the first half of 2021, there were fewer than 15,000 people to handle more than 240 million calls received, which translates to 1 person to handle every 16,000 calls received.
The Treasury Department said that tax filing season for 2021 tax returns will begin on Monday, January 24. Officials said there are no current plans to extend that deadline this year, urging taxpayers to file as early as possible.
Filing electronically with direct deposit and avoiding a paper tax return is more important than ever this year, Treasury officials said.

The Art of Noise's "Close (to the Edit)" remains one of the more memorable, award-winning music videos of the 80s
By Bryan Thomas on June 7, 2016
In Night Flight's "Take Off to Directors in Music Video" — now streaming on our Night Flight Plus channel — one of the highlighted directors is Polish-born filmmaker Zbigniew Rybczyński, whose incredible award-winning video for The Art of Noise's "Close (to the Edit)" was one of the more memorable videos of 1984, using a technique called "video scratching."
Rybczyński — known to his friends and colleagues as "Zbig" — had studied cinematography at the world-renowned Lodz Film School, but when martial law was declared in Poland, he managed to arrange a job contract that enabled him to leave for Vienna, where he applied for political asylum.
In 1983, he learned that his short film Tango — which also appears in this "Take Off to Directors in Music Video" episode — had won the 1982 Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film. That same year, Rybczyński and his family emigrated to the U.S., ending up in the New York City area.
For "Close (to the Edit)," Rybczyński found the perfect urban wasteland film location, a section of disused elevated railway that ran through a meatpacking district, between 450-456 West 14th Street (you can also briefly see a stretch it during the opening montage sequence of Woody Allen's 1979 film Manhattan).
It's now a 16-block long elevated urban parkway called "The High Line" (or, "High Line Park"). Some of the video's success is no doubt because of the young girl, dressed up like a cute little punkette. She was possibly the daughter of a friend of the video's director, named Sylwia.
"Close (to the Edit)" begins with Trevor Horn, whose influence on pop music in the 80s was so pervasive that some even called him "The Man Who Invented the Eighties."
Horn had originally been in the Buggles, and co-wrote their #1 UK hit, "Video Killed the Radio Star," notable as the first music video to be played on MTV. Horn had also briefly been a member of Yes — for seven months in late 1980/early '81 — and appears on their album Drama.
He left Yes to concentrate on his production work, and then ended up as an original member of The Art of Noise, in a somewhat roundabout way, as the group essentially came together as a production team working with a discarded drum riff sample that Horn had recorded for Yes.
Two of Horn's colleagues– sound engineer/producer Gary Langan, and J.J. Jeczalik, a computer programmer who had assisted electronic music pioneer Richard James Burgess — sampled the riff on a Fairlight C.M.I. sampler, using the then-new Page R sequencer, building it into a repetitive riff. They also began working with keyboardist Anne Dudley, Horn's orchestral arranger, who collaborated on melody lines.
It was actually Paul Morley — a fifth member of the group — who came up their name, The Art of Noises, translating a term used in Italian Futurist Luigi Russolo's early 20th century art manifesto (Jeczalik recommended that they drop the "s" from Noises). Morley was an ex-NME journalist, and had been working with Langan and Trevor Horn's wife, Jill Sinclair, to set up a new label for Horn's productions.
In his new role, Morley wrote liner notes and worked on artwork (with photographer Anton Corbijn), but his main role was to act as their spokesman, as they wanted to remain faceless and work behind the scenes, but realized they needed someone to be the face of the group (which caused occasional problems, like when Morley accepted an award on their behalf as "Best Black Act of 1984″).
Dudley later said she felt the early 80s was dominated by "powerful haircuts like Culture Club," and none of them looked the part and so decided to hide their identity behind masks, and behind Morley.
Horn eventually played a demo for Chris Blackwell, the founder of Island Records, who then gave some of the tracks to deejays to spin in New York City clubs, and seeing the response, he signed The Art of Noise as the first act for his new ZTT imprint that Island.
The Art of Noise's ZTT/Island EP debut, Beat Box, came out in September 1983, and immediately climbed the dance charts in the U.S.. A second EP, called Beat Box (Diversions One and Two), was issued in March 1984, in the UK, and an edited version of one of the tracks, "(Diversion Two)," was issued in the U.S. in early June '84, now called "Close (to the Edit)," its title inspired by Yes's epic title track to their Close to the Edge album.
The track begins with a short spoken word vocal by Gary Langan's girlfriend, Karen Clayton, and it contains multiple samples, including part of the track "Leave It" from Yes's"comeback" album 90125, which Horn produced in 1983.
It also sampled Jeczalik's neighbor's car, a VW Golf, stalling and restarting, and featured a sample of the Andrew Sisters' "Beer Barrel Polka." The "Hey!" sample — provided by Camilla Pilkington-Smyth — would later be sampled by both the Prodigy ("Firestarter") and Christina Aguilera ("Back in the Day).
"Close (to the Edit)" proved to be a huge hit for Art of Noise, reaching #8 in the UK's Singles Chart. An extended version appeared on Who's Afraid of the Art of Noise?
Incidentally, Art of Noise weren't too happy Rybczyński's video, and Morley, in an interview at the time, said this:
"So one of the reasons we tend to hide behind masks or not appear at all is because it opens up more possibilities how Art of Noise can be presented. Sometimes you had video art directors get excited about how they were going to present Art of Noise, and in that particular case, he interpreted it as a strange young girl with Huey Lewis & The News. Half of it was fun and half of it was slightly sad."
Rybczyński's video, despite the band's own opinion of it, was mostly positive, except in New Zealand, where it was banned because it seemed to encourage violence towards children. It also won two MTV Video Music Awards (VMA's) — Most Experimental Video and Best Editing — in 1985, and today is considered one of the best of examples of a technique of video editing commonly called "video scratching."

I also loved Rybczyński's video for German hard-rock, proto industrial band Belfegore. He's worthy of a retrospective, no?

Rybczyński's Oscar night in 1983 is well-documented and hilarious (now). Presenter Kristy McNichol butchered his name during the nominations and his speech was bizarrely translated, then cut off by the orchestra. Finally, he stepped outside for a smoke afterwards and was refused re-entry by overzealous security due to his sneakers and shabby clothes. Unable to express himself in English, he got into a physical altercation and spent the night in jail. The awards presentation can be seen online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3BDAvM1FqY

The rate of autism among American children more than doubled throughout the 2000s — but according to the latest analysis from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the rise in diagnoses may finally be leveling off.
In a report published Thursday, CDC officials found that 1 in every 68 children in the country has an autism spectrum disorder, a rate unchanged from the last CDC survey two years ago.
Prior to 2010, the prevalence of ASD had climbed rapidly, sparking a heated debate within the medical community as to the reasons behind the rise.
Even though the overall rate remained stable between 2010 and 2012, the two most recent years for which data are available, the CDC report notes that there are still disparities in diagnoses when the data are broken down by race and gender.
The prevalence of ASD was highest in New Jersey, where about 1 in every 41 school-aged children has been diagnosed with the condition.
Autism is much more common among young boys than among young girls. Approximately 1 in 42 boys were diagnosed with ASD, compared to 1 in 189 girls.
White children have higher rates of autism than black children. One in 64 non-Hispanic whites were diagnosed with ASD, compared to 1 in 76 non-Hispanic blacks.

Q: How can I interrogate an SqlDataReader object for containing data? I am logging in using a username and password and this is my code in DAL
public static SqlDataReader login(SchoolBAL bal)
 {
  SqlConnection con = DBConnection.OpenConnection();
  try
   {
   int i;
   SqlCommand cmd1 = new SqlCommand("login", con);
   cmd1.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
   cmd1.Parameters.AddWithValue("@username", bal.UserName);
   cmd1.Parameters.AddWithValue("@password", bal.Password);
   SqlDataReader dr = cmd1.ExecuteReader();
   return dr;
   }catch (Exception)
    {
      throw;
    }
 }

but i want to return an integer here how can i do it?
EDIT::
    Create procedure login
(@username varchar (50),@password varchar (50))

as
begin
select UserName,password from tblLogin where UserName=@username and password=@password
end

A: You're returning the reference of DataReader but return type of method is int. Change the return type of method.
public static bool login(SchoolBAL bal)
{
  bool isFound=false;
  using(SqlConnection con = DBConnection.OpenConnection())
   {
    using(SqlCommand cmd1 = new SqlCommand("login", con))
    {
     cmd1.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
     cmd1.Parameters.AddWithValue("@username", bal.UserName);
     cmd1.Parameters.AddWithValue("@password", bal.Password);
     con.Open();
     SqlDataReader dr = cmd1.ExecuteReader();
     if(dr.Read())
       isFound=true;
     dr.Close();
     con.Close();
     }
    }
  return isFound;
}

A: If you want to return the int from your sproc then use ExecuteScalar - and return that value.
But you should maybe think about this design, what does that value mean to anybody?
Maybe use an Enum or even true/false.

A: public static int login(SchoolBAL bal)
   {
       SqlConnection con = DBConnection.OpenConnection();
       try
       {
           int i;
           SqlCommand cmd1 = new SqlCommand("login", con);
            cmd1.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
           cmd1.Parameters.AddWithValue("@username", bal.UserName);
           cmd1.Parameters.AddWithValue("@password", bal.Password);
           i = cmd1.ExecuteScalar();
           return i;

       }
       catch (Exception)
       {

           throw;
       }

Memphis-based, Grammy Nominee, Southern Avenue puts a funky, groovy spin on the 1983 Genesis classic "That's All." While on tour in the UK, Israeli-born guitarist, Ori Naftaly played his bandmates some of his favorite music from UK-based artists that he grew up on. He went deep playing the first three Genesis albums back-to-back and the band went further down the rabbit hole by watching a documentary on the group.
Vocalist Tierinii Jackson had always been a fan of Phil Collins and when it came time for the band to vet songs to cover, Naftaly suggested an 80s-era Genesis hit. Southern Avenue takes the already groovy pop-rock song and gives it a soulful spin with controlled command in the studio that translates into an electrifying banger at live shows.
With Southern Avenue's funky re-imagination of the classic driven by luscious vocal harmonies and vintage organ and guitar tones, the song is a perfect fit to release on Color Red, record label and music platform founded by Eddie Roberts of The New Mastersounds.
The band shows no signs of slowing down after their 2020 GRAMMY nomination for Best Contemporary Blues album and maintains an active tour schedule around the globe, earning slots at coveted festivals including Bonaroo and Austin City Limits and supporting prominent acts such as Sheryl Crow, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Jason Mraz, Los Lobos, JJ Grey & Mofro, and more.

The National Guardsman, later renamed National Guard Magazine, is the official publication of the National Guard Association. The earliest issues of the magazine date back to 1907, when individual state guard associations experimented with implementing a magazine publication. The present day magazine was first published in 1947, under the guidance of MG Ellard Walsh, President of NGAUS during the WW2 era.
The magazine contains articles about legislative, social, technological, and financial issues impacting the Guard. The magazine also features stories about individual guardsmen from across the United States, NGAUS events such as general conferences, election of NGAUS officials, appointments of NGB officials, and other Guard-related news. The magazine is a mine of information for Guard historians, genealogists, and NGAUS members alike. This pathfinder is a work in progress, and will be updated as we work to index tables of contents from individual issues of magazines. The goal is to allow researchers to identify subjects of interest in advance of their visit to the library or to identify select passages for scanning. Early issues of the magazine often did not include a Table of Contents.

While most analysts are expecting Apple to comfortably beat its holiday quarter guidance of $75.5-$77.5B, one large firm of analysts goes much further.
An investment note by Morgan Stanley seen by Business Insider says that an analysis of Apple's financial report suggests that the company could be gearing up for quarterly sales totalling as much as $84.4B.
The clue, claims the company, is the company's off balance-sheet spending commitments.
Apple's last quarterly report revealed $29.5 billion in off balance-sheet commitments, and $7.3 billion in other commitments, at the end of the September quarter.
These usually represent money that Apple is planning to spend on parts and manufacturing equipment.
It should be noted that although Apple has recently been beating its own guidance of late, this has typically been by just a few percent – nothing like the leap Morgan Stanley is suggesting. While Steve Jobs used to give extremely conservative guidance, seemingly enjoying blowing expectations out of the water, Tim Cook promised more accurate guidance under his leadership and has more-or-less been delivering on that.
It also wouldn't be the first time the analysts have made big leaps on little data. We're going to file this one in the skeptical pile.

Nettrouer juggles job, family responsibilities to serve his country
by Ellen Crowe Finan
Lance Nettrouer at Kandahar International Airport in Afghanistan
After seven years of active duty in the U.S. Air Force, Lance Nettrouer, a training and development specialist in Building Services, joined the Indiana National Guard so he could continue to serve his country.
"I thought it would be easier than active duty, but it's five times harder," says Nettrouer. "When I was in the Air Force, I had one job and I could take my family with me. Now I have to balance my civilian job, National Guard duties and my family responsibilities."
Nettrouer worked in civil engineering his first six years in the National Guard, then was selected to be a commissioned officer and serve as the equal opportunity director.
Normally Air National Guard airmen are expected to train one weekend a month and one two-week period a year; however, as an officer, Nettrouer works four to five days a month in Fort Wayne, Thursday through Sunday, and he is sometimes unexpectedly called to Fort Wayne when his services are needed. "It's demanding being an officer," Nettrouer says. "If there's an issue with someone in the National Guard, I travel to Fort Wayne to investigate it."
Nettrouer stresses that it's also very important to him that he remain a valuable employee to Notre Dame. His director at Notre Dame has been very cooperative when he needs time off to serve in the guard. "To continue to be an asset to Notre Dame, I work nights or special events to offset the time I need to be away for my guard duty," he says.
Overall, Nettrouer believes his experiences in the guard have made him a better employee. "In my job at Notre Dame I work with a lot of people," he notes. "As the equal opportunity director in the National Guard, I've come to understand that we are not all the same, but we are all part of one humanity. It's helped me be more tolerant of differences and work together to get the job done."
When he investigates complaints in the guard, he's learned to seek to understand before addressing poor behavior. "Through open conversations with people, I find that they are often dealing with difficult situations in their personal lives that cause them to have problems in the guard," he says. "That makes it easier to understand why the person is not performing at his or her best and to address the situation."
A lifelong northern Indiana resident, Nettrouer grew up in
Lakeville and graduated from LaVille Junior-Senior High School. After his discharge from the Air Force, Nettrouer earned a bachelor's degree in business from Holy Cross College and master's degree in human resources from Indiana Tech. He and his wife Jessica met at Holy Cross College, and they're parents of two young daughters, Lily, 3, and Lea, 1.
"My wife takes very good care of our children and me. I wouldn't be able to balance it all without her dedication to our family," he says.
Passionate and committed, Nettrouer hopes to continue to serve in the National Guard until he retires. "It means so much to me," he says. "The Guard is a way I can serve my country and the state of Indiana."

[My door is not fitted with a peephole either. Those without eyes or without limits to their knowledge have no need for peeping, and I am without either. I have never once peeped at or through something, and I doubt I ever will.
Apertures built into physical surfaces to reveal what's hidden behind them are for those with particular handicaps. They are for those lacking advanced vision to render the opaque permeable to light, or those lacking advanced knowledge to render the concealed information irrelevant, or both. They are for people who I call suckers.


Want to improve the curb appeal of your home without splurging on a new paint job or a remodel? Here are five easy ways to spruce up your home, without breaking the bank!
1. Paint your mailbox, or simply get a new one! The mailbox, in suburbia at least, is the first thing people see when they go by your house. A metal one that looks like teenagers tried to destroy it in a drive-by baseball bat adventure doesn't help your curb appeal. So spruce it up! Add a coat of paint, put stickers on it with your street number, and if you're feeling creative and kitschy, add some seashells from the seashore.
2. Lay out some pavers. One way to avoid going to that Orange Box Retailer for them is to find a home in your area that is set for demolition. My mom went and asked the builder if she could take the pavers. They said yes! Construction debris is what they would have become and filled even more precious space in our landfills, but instead, they now make a beautiful path from the sidewalk to the front of the house. Keep in mind though that not all builders are this nice! Laying pavers might seem difficult, but there are many tutorials out there for the beginner.
http://www.groundtradesxchange.com/pavers/brick-pavers.htm : This link shows how to install a paver patio, but a simply path works the same way.
4. Replace hardware. Getting new doorknobs, door knockers, house numbers, and more all make your home look fresh and well-kept. A rusty doorknob just looks sloppy and it makes people want to wash their hands right after touching it!
5. Outdoor Lighting. Lighting your front path or your front porch makes the house feeling more welcoming, and now you can even buy solar powered lamps that simply stab into the grass, soak up the sun and provide a little bit of outdoor lighting for a very reasonable price. This type of lighting is low maintenance and it is possible to find these types of lights home improvement stores for roughly $4.00/each. Nicer ones tend to start around $10.00/each.


Ukraine's economy has contracted by a quarter due to the conflict in the south east of the country as hundreds of facilities are closed, said Prime Minister Arseny Yatsenyuk.
"We've lost a quarter of the Ukrainian economy. Hundreds of facilities were closed because of war..." Yatsenyuk said on Tuesday in a conference call to regional governors over budget fulfillment.
At the same time the government managed to collect more in taxes than in the previous year, he added.
Talking about Ukraine's fiscal position, Yatsenyuk said the government had managed to accumulate almost $670 million in its single treasury account.
"I had a look at the latest statistics. A year ago, the single treasury account held 108,000 hryvnia ($4,600), this morning there were 15.5 billion hryvnia ($670 million)," he said.
The funding from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) will help Ukraine service external debt, while tax revenues will be used to finance defense and social benefits, he added.
On March 13 the Ukrainian Ministry of Finance confirmed it had received the first tranche of $5 billion as part of the IMF's four-year bailout program. The total amount of money to be granted to Ukraine from all other foreign creditors will be about $40 billion.
Earlier in March Ukrainian Finance Minister Natalia Jaresko said the IMF's $17.5 billion would not be enough to revive the country's ailing economy, and that the government would seek more financial assistance from international lenders.
Although the Ukrainian government expects the international aid to help the country overcome the crisis in the short-term, experts suggest the terms of imposing austerity measures would only make the situation worse, as many Ukrainians already live below the poverty line and further cuts in social spending would bring no good. Ukraine's GDP has shrunk 6.5 percent since the crisis started and the currency has lost around 80 percent of its value. Inflation is expected to hit 27 percent by the end of 2015.

If you think Stevie Nicks looks pissed when Lindsey Buckingham sings "Loving you isn't the right thing to do", it's with good reason. She is the "you" being referenced here.
That look could melt ice.
Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks had been dating for years - famously, he only agreed to join Fleetwood Mac if he could bring his collaborator and girlfriend Stevie along.
Well, what hurt Stevie Nicks made for an angry breakup song that was both critically and commercially praised, ascending to the Billboard Top 10 on March 12, 1977 - this writer's fifth birthday. Truthfully, this song reshaped music - it brought a new anger that stood out from the AM Gold of the 70's - which is why it endures.
Just putting it out there - it doesn't look like Stevie's gotten over that lyric. She's singing right along, though.

Qualification Criteria
Every team interested to participate must complete the following actions by February 1st, 2022:
Submit a Team Description Paper (see instructions below).
Submit a Team Video.
Submit by e-mail to the organizing committee your intent to participate in RoboCup. The e-mail subject should be: 2022 Participation Intent <Your Team Name>. Please also include:
Main contact name and email
Website (if you have one)
Preferred Division (A or B) (More Information)
Short rationale for the preferred division
Please pay attention to the following points:
Communication will be made via e-mail, using the RoboCup Small Size League mailing list. Pay attention to these e-mails and answer the OC's questions. A team that does not reply risks losing its qualified place.
We understand that new teams may struggle meeting all of the qualification criteria below. We encourage new teams to submit qualification video material demonstrating their true current capabilities, while stating in their Team Description Paper (TDP) what is expected to be completed by competition, teams not meeting minimum required criteria will be considered for inclusion only after all teams submitting compliant qualification materials.
The SSL will be divided into two divisions with separate tournaments: Division A and division B. Division A is aimed at advanced teams whereas new and/or less competitive teams can play in division B. Each team will only play in one of those two divisions. The OC will have the final word. We are aiming at around 12 teams per division.
Since 2018, it is explicitly allowed to attend as a joint team. Such team will attend as one team and must submit all qualification materials once. It is allowed to use multiple systems, such as multiple computers.
Team Description Paper
As part of the qualification procedure, every team must submit a Team Description Paper (TDP) or an Extended Team Description Paper (ETDP). All teams intending to participate in Division A must submit an ETDP. Every TDP and ETDP will be reviewed by a panel of peers. Teams that present substandard TDPs and ETDPs will not qualify for the RoboCup tournament.
TDP and ETDP Guidelines
All TDPs and ETDPs should follow these guidelines:
The TDP should contain a brief description of the team, with citations to previous TDPs and the team's website where appropriate.
The TDP should focus on innovations that the team has produced with respect to their previous TDPs. These innovations should be described in detail, to facilitate reproducibility for other teams, where possible.
The TDP should have a clear structure and it should be written in clear English.
The TDP should be formatted according to the Springer LNCS format, as the symposium submissions.
The TDP should be at least 6 and at most 16 pages long.
In addition to the above requirements, ETDPs should follow these guidelines:
The ETDP should describe in detail the aspects of the team's system which most contribute to its success.
To maximize the effectiveness of ETDPs, every division A team must bring along a poster that illustrates the content of the paper. The poster must have a size of roughly one square meter (A0) and will be hung up in the RoboCup venue.
We have to set up a conference management system to handle this years peer review process. We will announce it here as soon as it is working properly.
Every team will have to register and upload their qualification materials to the site.
Each team needs to review three other teams, thus resulting in three reviews per (E)TDP.
The Organizing Committee will assign reviewers to the papers.
The teams can upload their reviews to the site using their same login. Once the reviews are approved by the Organizing Committee, they can be released to the teams.
Teams that do not review the papers assigned will not qualify.
TDP Examples
The Organizing Committee has selected a few (E)TDPs as good examples.
TIGERs Mannheim Extended Team Description for RoboCup 2020 – This paper gives a very detailed explanation of the hardware improvements made to the team. It gives a clear explanation and also the reasoning for these changes, providing valuable information for other teams. The paper is also not excessively long, making it easier for reviewers to read it. It also has no overlaps with the team's previous paper.
ER-Force 2020 Extended Team Description Paper – This paper goes in depth regarding the team's new path planning system. The paper does not mention hardware as there were no significant changes in that area, and mentioning them would only mean having overlap with the previous paper. The size of the paper is also not excessively long.
ZJUNlict Extended Team Description Paper for Robocup 2020 – This paper discusses the changes done in every area of the robot, the mechanical changes, the electronic changes and the software ones. It is a bit longer than what has been requested this year but it covers each topic well and does not have overlap with the previous paper.
Team Video
Your team video must contain at least 1 minute of unedited continuous footage of game time. As game time is stopped during STOP or HALT, this could be significantly more than one minute of wall time of unedited footage. The qualification video has to be recent, i.e. not more than 2 years old. Due to the COVID pandemic we allow to use a video from 2019, especially from participating in RoboCup Sydney, too. If the OC feels like your video is too old, the OC might ask teams to prove that their video demonstrates their current capabilities. If your video is longer than 5 minutes, for example a full recording of a match, teams have to provide timestamps of the respective sections (see listing below). The qualification video can be either of the following types, although preference will be given to item 1 (then 2 and last 3):
A video of your robots participating in a RoboCup standard game (i.e. a game at RoboCup or one of the local regional competitions). The video should show obstacle avoidance, shooting and passing skill. For participating in Division A, teams also have to show their ball placement.
A video of your robots (there must be at least two moving robots) engaging in two or more of the following activities:
One or more robots competing against an active robot goalkeeper.
Two or more robot field players actively going to the ball and playing against one another.
At least two robots playing cooperatively against 5 static or moving obstacles.
A video showing one or more robots partially demonstrating capabilities listed in item 2.
The team video is used by the OC to determine the readiness of a team to compete effectively and is part of the criteria in ranking teams in the qualification process. Teams are advised to submit a video that best demonstrates the readiness of the team to compete in an international competition.
To submit the video footage, you must send an e-mail to the RoboCup Small Size League mailing list and CC it also to the organizing committee. The e-mail should contain the following information:
Subject: 2022 Qualification Video <Your Team Name>.
The URL of your video. Your Video must be either playable in a modern browser upon opening that webpage, or downloadable via HTTPS.
Please pay attention to the following:
Please submit a single video file.
The video must be stored on your own server or a reliable online video hosting service.
Do NOT send the video as an attachment to the mailing list nor to the organization committee!

Ensure mains switch is switched on. Check the fuse is OK and circuit breaker is also on. If the effect motor is still operating and heat is available, the lamps may have failed. Check and replace bulbs if necessary.
The fire has no heat.?
Ensure mains switch is switched on. Check the fuse is OK and circuit breaker is also on. Check the heat selector switches are switched on. If the fire has a thermostat check that this is not on the lower settings. If the room is warm enough, the thermostat will stop the fire switching the heat on. You could also check if the fire has been inadvertently covered in which case the safety cut-out may have operated? Switch your fire off, leave for 2 minutes and then switch back on.
The heat cuts out after short period of time.?
If the fire has a thermostat, check that this is not on the lower settings. If the room is warm enough, the thermostat will stop the fire switching the heat on.
The remote control is not operating correctly.?
If the fire is operative on manual but the remote is not working then simply check or replace batteries.
Is there any more information about this fire?
The bulb in my Dimplex Stove has stopped working. Can I replace it?
Yes, you can simply replace the bulb with an equivalent energy saving model that you can purchase from your local DIY store.
Are the plugs easily accessible if plugged in behind the fire?
Fires must not be plugged in anywhere behind the surround or the fire. The plug must remain accessible after installation to allow the fire to be isolated in an emergency.
Great fire. Would recommend to all. Customer service excellent.
Great purchase, prompt delivery. Appreciated the excellent workmanship of the recommended gas engineer. I am very pleased with the purchase. Will recommend this site to collegues and family.
Great customer service...very good price...very pleased with my purchase...would recommend to all.
Best delivery arrangements ever, very fast - was given a 1 hour time slot and was able to track the location of the delivery van. I am so pleased with the Dimplex Cheriton fire, the flame effect is realistic and cosy looking and gives my living room a focal point. Best price too. The service received from this company was excellent - definitely recommended.

Todd Moss: When it comes to energy, big is beautiful
Fun? Yes. An energy solution? No.
Who could object to efforts to bring clean, renewable energy to people without electricity? Donors and investors love social enterprises (D.Light, Greenlight Planet, BrightLife) and nonprofits (SolarAid, GivePower) that bring solar panels, lights or phone chargers to poor households in Africa and south Asia. Why, even President Obama, on a visit to Tanzania, played with a Soccket, a soccer ball that generates just enough energy to power a light bulb or charge a phone.
Trouble arises, though, when these well-intentioned, small-scale initiatives draw attention away from utility-scale energy projects that can power businesses and drive economic growth–the kinds of big projects that lifted the US, Europe, Japan, China and much of the rest of the world out of poverty. Or, worse, when an absolutist devotion to renewable energy stands in the way of big, centralized projects–specifically, the natural gas, coal and nuclear power projects that, even today, provide more than 80 percent of the electricity used in the US.
Photo credit: Shawn Miller
This is Todd Moss's concern. Moss, 48, is a senior fellow at the Center for Global Development, a former state department official and a PhD economist who recently launched the Energy for Growth Hub. The Energy for Growth Hub is a network of scholars and advocates who want to bring some common sense to the conversation about how get energy to everyone in Africa and Asia. They are focused not just on the 1.3bn people whose homes are without a light switch but the 3bn or so who live in places where a lack of reliable, abundant electricity remains a barrier to progress.
Moss sat down with me recently in Bethesda, MD, where we both live, to talk about how he and his colleagues want to convince policymakers to help poor countries achieve the high-energy future they need to become prosperous.
Household solar panels won't get the job done. Big wind and solar farms, natural gas plants, hydroelectric dams, geothermal plants and, perhaps, nuclear power will be required.
Even if that means — dare we say it? — taking a small step backwards in the battle against climate change.
"Climate change is real, it's caused by human activity and it's likely an existential challenge to humanity," Moss tells me. "I don't think it can or should be solved on the back of poor Africans."
After all, the world's poorest people didn't cause the climate crisis. It's not fair to ask them to sacrifice, particularly as those of us in the west enjoy the benefits of abundant, cheap energy.
Consider this graphic, via Moss, that went viral a few years ago:
Or this one, timely because it shows that decorative holiday lights in the US use more energy in a year than entire countries:
There are opportunities here for philanthropy, if only because the impacts of energy poverty are so far-reaching. Millions of people die every year because they cook over open fires. Health care clinics operate without reliable power. Schools lack electricity, Students can't study at night. Most of all, robust economic growth–the only thing that can lift large numbers of people out of poverty–requires high rates of energy consumption. Anyone who cares about global poverty should care about energy.
"A low energy future is a jobless future," says Moss.
What's more, without industrial-scale energy, people in energy-poor places will be ill-equipped to deal with the impacts of climate change. They are the most likely to suffer from extreme heat, drought, crop failures, rising sea levels and floods. Of the 2.8 bn people living in the hottest parts of the world, only 8 percent currently have air conditioning, compared to 90 percent ownership in the US.
As Moss told me: "They'll need more energy, not less. They need to live in resilient houses. Their roads and airports can't be washed away by storms. They will need steel and concrete, which require lots of energy. They need to be richer."
None of this should be controversial. It is. Some environmental groups, as well as global development agencies, are reluctant to support fossil-fuel projects or big dams, even in countries that desperately need energy and are blessed with energy resources.
Opposition to large-scale hydroelectric dams, for example, has dramatically curbed support for such dams from development institutions such as the World Bank. "Major dam projects have been cancelled or suspended in Myanmar, Thailand, Chile, and Brazil," Jacques Leslie reported at YaleE360.
In an effort to halt development funding for fossil fuels, Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace and the city of Boulder, Colorado, filed a lawsuit years ago alleging that the Export-Import Bank of the United States and the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) provided financing and insurance to fossil fuel projects without assessing whether the projects contributed to global warming or impacted the U.S. environment, as they were legally required to do.
And, as recently as last month, the International Energy Agency warned that the world has so many existing fossil fuel projects that it cannot afford to build any more and still achieve international climate goals. Fatih Birol, the executive director of the Paris-based group, told the Guardian: "We have no room to build anything that emits CO2 emissions."
Really? Tell that to the millions of people who burn wood inside their homes to cook their dinner.
It should go without saying that wind and solar farms should be the technology of choice to power the developing world. But it seems unlikely that they can do it alone. Battery storage remains expensive, and a sophisticated electricity grid is needed to manage intermittent sources of power. Despite rapidly falling costs, wind and solar produced just 7 percent of the world's electricity in 2015, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance. They produce even less of the energy needed for industry, transport, heating and cooling. Those percentages will grow rapidly–thank goodness–but major energy transitions take decades.
"The scale of the energy poverty problem is so great that we shouldn't ex ante take any options off the table," Moss says.
Consider Nigeria, Africa's most populous country, which is awash in natural gas. It just built a 461mw natural-gas plant, with help from OPIC, but it needs many more. With more than half the population of the United States, Nigeria can generate less than one percent as much electricity, Moss has written. That's stunning. "The specter of a Nigeria that cannot come close to meeting its growing population's demands for jobs and modern lifestyles—all underpinned by high volumes of energy—should be alarming," he says. To its credit, the MacArthur Foundation has a grant-making program to support anti-corruption efforts in Nigeria, including in the energy sector.
The Energy for Growth Hub's network of academics intends to bring its knowledge to development institutions, as well as governments in poor countries. "We're trying to influence decision-makers in a few capitals," Moss says. The organization has fellows in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, India and a Thailand-based expert who focuses on Bangladesh. Its principal funders are the Rockefeller Foundation, the Pritzker Innovation Fund, and the Spitzer Charitable Trust.
Moss, by the way, has made things happen before from his perch at the Center for Global Development. Just this week, Devex reported on a rare bipartisan reform success in DC that took root at the think tank, in a story headlined How policy wonks, politicos and a conservative Republican remade US AID.
He also has an interesting side gig as an author of political thrillers. His fourth and latest book, called The Shadow List, sends a state department crisis manager and his CIA agent wife into the heart of a corruption scandal in Nigeria. He enjoys writing novels, he told me, because "works a different part of your brain," although writing fiction about Washington has become harder than ever. "Reality is too crazy," he says. That's for sure.

Heeeeei says:
This is a great post that needs more than just serious introspection by the developed and wealthy nations, which obviously would not want to see the reversal of resources flow from the poor countries to themselves, with citizens who write a lot from the comfort of their homes and offices that fossil fuels have brought about, and have all the time to experiment with renewable energy technologies and debating climate change. All talk of developmental aid is lip service that only benefit the African rulers an area I am qualified to talk about as an African experiencing what the wealthy just talk and write about. The one mistake made by this post is in the heading. "Todd Moss: When it comes to energy big is beautiful" just perpetuates that flow of resources from the poor to the rich. How does a US$1.5 billion investment to create a 600MW of coal fired power plant using 300MW machines already manufactured in China (China no longer uses 300MW machines, which strictly speaking should be paid for by China as it has to get rid of old stock?) going to feed power to rural communities that are not on the power grid? When it comes to eradicating poverty in Africa Small is definitely beautiful" this coming from a poor African!!!
Stuart Kerkhof says:
No one has any remotely credible plan, that will not increase current fossil fuel usage, to meet the energy needs of the current 3B people in the world with no or woefully inadequate electricity, the other 3B who aspire to live like the richest 1B, and the expected growth in the world population of 2-3B.
It is time for the MSM to call out the lies propagated by the IPCC, NGOs, and New Green Dealers with the same vigor as Trump's continuous lies….sadly it appears this will never happen.

The jellyfish that isn't a jellyfish.
a large, purple, gas filled floatation device called a pneumatophore that lets the organism rest on top of the water and catch prey with its dangling stingers. They can also deflate to briefly submerge themselves.
These four groups work together successfully to compose a very successful colonial organism.
Another misconception on the Portuguese man o' war is that they will swim towards you when spotted in the ocean to attack you. This is false because this colonial organism can't swim; their movement is at the mercy of the ocean currents. The only way it can influence their own movements is by inflating a small crest on the pneumatophore that acts as a sail, catching passing breezes.
One last important misconception to mention is that the sting will kill you. It is often spread that the Portuguese man o' war is one of the most deadly animals in the ocean and the venom can not only kill fish, but humans too. In reality, while the sting can be excruciatingly painful, it rarely kills. Keeping that in mind, it is advised to avoid this animal anyway if spotted. Even if it has been washed up dead on shore its tentacles can still deliver a painful sting.
In conclusion, the misconceptions surrounding this animal seem to be more prominent than the actual facts. They rarely kill, they aren't aggressive towards humans, and "it" is actually a "they".
It is amazing how many misconceptions are applied to various species. One of the misconceptions I believed was that the sting of the Man O' War was capable of killing a human. Has there been any documented cases of human dieing from a sting?
Very informative post! After reading this I was left with the question, How does this colonial organism reproduce? Are there reproductive pieces of each individual zooid that work together to create a new Man O' War?
Never knew these guys had the ability to inflate and deflate themselves! Do you know the reason they deflate? I'm wondering if they need to be fully submerged to completely rehydrate or for other nutrients in the water.

Myanmar troops arrest 18 medics for treating 'terrorists' in church
By JOHN ANTCZAK
Nov 24 (Reuters) – Myanmar's military has arrested 18 medics for providing treatment to patients who were members of "terrorist organizations", a state-run newspaper said Wednesday, referring to outlawed anti-junta groups.
Troops made the arrests during a raid on Monday on a church in Loikaw in eastern Kayah state, where they discovered 48 patients who were receiving treatment, seven suffering from COVID-19.
"It was learned that unofficial medical treatment was being provided to the injured persons and patients from the terrorist organisations," said the Global New Light of Myanmar, the junta's mouthpiece.
The report did not name the organisations. It said the 18 medics arrested would be dealt with according to the law.
Myanmar's healthcare system has been close to collapse since the army overthrew an elected government in a Feb. 1 coup.
Many medical workers joined a civil disobedience movement and have refused to work in military-run hospitals in protest at the junta's rule.
Many healthcare facilities and workers have been targeted by security forces, according to human rights groups.
The military has appealed to doctors to return to work.
Some of the four doctors, four nurses and 10 nursing aides arrested at the church had previously been charged with incitement over their refusal to work, the report said.
Close to 1,300 civilians have been killed and more than 10,000 arrested since the coup, according to the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (AAPP), which has been tracking post-coup events in Myanmar.
The military has dismissed the AAPP's data, which has been cited by the United Nations, and accuses it of bias. A junta spokesman last week said 200 soldiers have been killed during the conflict.

Q: Is it possible to use console commands to fix the "War Hero" achievement in the Civil War quest line? After finishing the Civil War quest line in Skyrim I noticed that I had not gotten the War Hero achievement. This achievement can apparently be missed depending on the outcome of Season Unending. As I am playing on the PC, I was wondering if it would be possible to use a console command to force start the quest that trigger the achievement? Since I sided with the Stormcloaks, this would either be The Battle for Fort Sungard or The Battle for Fort Greenwall.

A: Achievements Unlocker mod can unlock all achievements or any achievements you choose with a little Creation Kit modification (Available through Steam -> Library -> Tools). You can also use Steam Achievement Manager to add or remove any Steam achievements. All in all, these options are likely much faster and less bug-prone than messing around with using console to trigger alternative missions.
