Clearwater Florida – Recently, I read in the New York Times that a couple sued their buyers agent who helped them buy a property. The couple say the real estate agent hid information from them about lower priced homes in the neighborhood and this caused them to over pay for the property they purchased. Thats why picking the right Clearwater Real Estate Agents to work for you is so important.
Weve all heard of real estate agents being sued because they hid material facts about a property, but this is a landmark case that has come about because of our current Buyers Market (especially in the Clearwater Real Estate Market) . A couple of years ago, as prices were going up, home buyers were just happy to buy a property before the real estate market pushed its value higher. Today, with falling home prices, many buyers are determined to get the best deal and think the that Clearwater real estate prices could go lower.

Clearwater Florida This is a busy time of year for Clearwater Real Estate because when winter hits our northern friends from places like Canada, Michigan, Maryland many of them start thinking about our 'Sunshine State' and that warm winter home theyve been dreaming of buying however their next thought is…What will my property taxes be?
While we do have many Clearwater Real Estate bargains right now, buyers still need to understand how our Pinellas property taxes work and how they affect the total cost of owership, especially if this is your second home.
In another article we wrote, Clearwater Florida Home Buyers Guide to Pinellas Property Tax Values – Part 1, we explained how the Pinellas County Property Appraiser first has to determine your Tampa Bay propertys 'taxable value'. Now once you know the taxable value well show you how to calculate/estimate what your property taxes will be.
Before we work the math and determine what you should plan for regarding Pinellas County real estate property taxes, let me take a minute to explain what 'millage' is and how it works.
Each tax authority is allocated a part of the millage and when its all added together you get the that years millage rate. Because the millage rate includes local goverments and special developement districts it will vary from city to city and even within the same city (see list below). So the taxes that Clearwater property owners pay will be slightly different withing the City of Clearwater and it will also be different from those that own St Petersburg homes and condos.
You can see the complete breakdown for all 45 tax districts and their Millage Rates for 2007. Here are some of the communities Im asked about most often.
You can see that in Pinellas County the property taxes can be as much as $9.00 per $1000 depending on where the property is. Also note that several cities have multiple taxing districts like Clearwater and St Petersburg so youll have to check which on correlates to the property you want to buy. This year Belleair Shore has the cheapest and Lealman has the most with St Petersburg Florida next.
Lets calculate what your Clearwater Property taxes would be using the highest tax district. In our example what would the taxes if th taxable value is $100,000?
Now if you buy a Clearwater home and it qualifies for Floridas Homestead Exemption (Assessed Value $25,000) then on a $100,000 Clearwater Home your taxable value would be $75,000.
So if you are buying a $500,000 Clearwater Beach Condo and it doesnt qualify for Floridas Homestead exemption then your annual taxes would be approximately $10,450.00 or $870.73/month.
Next well discuss the upcoming Constitutional Amendment and how that may help lower our property taxes.
Im curious, did this help you understand our Pinellas Property taxes better? Anything youd like to see added?
Are you looking to buy Clearwater property where you can enjoy our finest pool homes, our Tampa Bay green golf course neighborhoods, playing tennis all year long and entertaining at local country clubs during the winter or all year round?

Clearwater, FLorida – Ever heard, "What real estate commission do you charge to help us sell our home? What's your rate?…. Are you more than your rate or commission?
I wrote an article asking Do Home Buyers Get Full Service or is it Pump it Yourself?
It generated a lot of thoughtful responses and one by Steven L. Smith inspired this post. Steven talks about how everyone he knows now books their travel online – ergo the demise of the brick and mortar travel agency.
It got me to thinking about various Florida Real Estate & Mortgage industry models and how they are changing before out eyes. Blogging, IDX – MLS; home value estimators online, daily email updates, online mortgage applications etc. There's no denying it's changing – but will it good for me or put me out of business?
I was out with some Tampa Bay home buyers today. We had been looking at houses when they first relocated to Clearwater a year ago. They weren't ready to buy then because of their job changes and the shock of what houses were selling for so they decided to wait. With the change in the market they realized now is a great time to buy and get the most home for their money, especially since they're looking to live in their home for the long haul.
We've stayed in touch with them and giving them the latest Tampa Florida real estate info .
and there was NEVER any pressure from us – we knew we'd be here when the time was right!
So when we started talking about making an offer I verified that their mortgage prequalification was ready to go. I had referred them to a good Tampa mortgage broker for their home loan last year but he hadn't stayed in touch with them. I was shocked when they told me they had gotten approved from @ending tree online. They have a credit score of over 800, have 15% to put down and the house they're interested in is in their price range. By all accounts a Tampa mortgage brokers dream client.
Now my experience is that many of my clients have been quoted teaser rates and costs for these Online Mortgage companies only to find out they are significantly more at closing. I suggested they might want to get another quote from a local mortgage lender and Active Rain member we've had great experiences with, Leah Ross.
Leah has helped many of our clients, from Clearwater first time homebuyers to Clearwater luxury home buyers. She approaches mortgages the way we do real estate – as a consultant and advocate. We always get rave reviews from our clients that work with her. They feel they get great value from working with her.
I realized, like Steven pointed out in his comments, when consumer's perception of value changes – the market place changes too- but not necessarily for the best for consumers or traditional businesses.
Most potential clients don't realize the integrated complexities of a real estate transaction. The fact that over 48 people from 7 industries will be involved – which means problems happen – you NEED an experienced pro at the helm.
That when mistakes are made in real estate transactions they can be extremely costly to them.
They don't realize that in Florida you can sue for up to 5 years after the real estate transaction – and that For Sale By Owners in Pinellas county have to follow the same statutes as realtors and locally we've seen them be successfully sued.
They don't know that the right home inspector can save you thousands in home repairs and problems.
This is just the tip of the iceberg but I say rather than be on the defensive with companies like @edfin, @illow, @ending tree – we need to be on the offensive – always articulating and showing are value.
So, now that we're online – will it help us add more value and free us up for more time with our clients or will it ultimately put us out of business?


Existing bank account holders have been asked to furnish the Aadhaar number issued by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) by December 31, 2017.
Budget 2017 has mandated seeding of Aadhaar number with PAN.
New Delhi: The government has made quoting of biometric identity number Aadhaar mandatory for opening of bank accounts as well as for any financial transaction of Rs 50,000 and above. Existing bank account holders have been asked to furnish the Aadhaar number issued by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) by December 31, 2017, failing which the account will cease to be operational, according to a revenue department notification. The government in Budget 2017 has already mandated seeding of Aadhaar number with Permanent Account Number to avoid individuals using multiple PANs to evade taxes.
The notification issued, amending the Prevention of Money-laundering (Maintenance of Records) Rules, 2005, mandated quoting of Aadhaar along with PAN or Form 60 by individuals, companies and partnership firms for all financial transactions of Rs 50,000 or above.
Tightening the rules for small accounts, which can be opened without having officially valid KYC documents, the amendment said such accounts - which can have maximum deposit of Rs 50,000, can be opened only at bank branches which have core banking solution.
It can also be opened at a branch where it is possible to manually monitor and ensure that foreign remittance are not credited to such account and stipulated limits on monthly and annual aggregate of transactions and balance are not breached, the amended PMLA rules said.
Such small account shall remain operational initially for a period of 12 months and thereafter for a similar period if the account holder provides evidence that he or she has applied for officially valid identification documents. "The small account shall be monitored and when there is a suspicion of money laundering or financing of terrorism or other high risk scenarios, the identity of claim shall be established through the production of official valid documents," it said.
The amendment makes it mandatory for individuals, companies and partnership firms to quote Aadhaar along with PAN or Form 60 for all financial transactions of Rs 50,000 or above with effect from June 1.
After June 1, if a person does not have an Aadhaar number at the time of opening of account, then he or she has to furnish proof of application of enrolment for Aadhaar and submit the Aadhaar number to the bank within six months of opening of the bank account.
"In case the client, eligible to be enrolled for Aadhaar and obtain a PAN... does not submit the Aadhaar number or the PAN at the time of commencement of an account based relationship with a reporting entity, the client shall submit the same within a period of 6 months from the date of the commencement of the account based relationship. "Provided that the clients... already having an account based relationship with reporting entities prior to date of this notification, the client shall submit the Aadhaar number and PAN by December 31, 2017," the notification said.
So far, as per the PMLA Rules it is mandatory to provide PAN number or Form 60 to banks while opening of accounts or for high value transactions. For companies opening bank accounts, Aadhaar number of managers, or employees holding an attorney to transact on the company's behalf will have to be provided.
Commenting on the development, Nangia & Co managing partner Rakesh Nangia said: "With the amendment, obtaining Aadhaar and PAN have gained paramount importance, since the banks are now required to report Aadhaar and PAN in respect of each of its clients' at the time of account opening and in case of existing accounts at the time of making transactions worth Rs 50,000 or more".
The Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) forms the core of the legal framework put in place by India to combat money laundering and generation of black money. The PMLA and rules impose obligation on reporting entities like banks, financial institutions and intermediaries to verify identity of clients, maintain records and furnish information to Financial Intelligence Unit of India (FIU-IND).
As per Rule 9, every reporting entity shall at the time of commencement of an account-based relationship, identify its clients, verify their identity and obtain information on the purpose and intended nature of the business relationship.
In all other cases, identity should be verified while carrying out transaction of an amount equal to or exceeding Rs 50,000, and in any international money transfer operation.

Ortiz-Moctezuma MB, Pivovarchuk D, Szolgayova J, & Fuss S (2010). Development of transportation infrastructure in the context of economic growth. In: Dynamic Systems, Economic Growth, and the Environment. Eds. Cuaresma, J. Crespo, Palokangas, T. & Tarasyev, A., Heidelberg: Springer-Verlag. DOI:10.1007/978-3-642-02132-9.
Developed road infrastructure is one of the main ingredients to economic growth. At the same time, economic growth enables further expansion of infrastructure. The co-evolutionary aspects of the growth of economic output and road infrastructure are thus apparent and represent the main motivation for the study presented in this chapter. We develop a model analyzing the interdependence between a country's economic growth and the development of transportation infrastructure in this country, explicitly taking into account the mutual influence of the rate of economic growth and the transportation capacity. Formulating an optimal control problem, the optimal investment rate can be determined. This model forms a comprehensive framework for understanding the underlying dynamics and the patterns of economic growth in relation to transport infrastructure. An analytical solution for the infinite horizon problem is derived and the steady state is shown to depend crucially on the rate of physical decay of roads. Testing the model for the data of two countries illustrates the usefulness of such an approach to real world problems and possibly policy recommendations, even though the model would have to be adapted to the specific characteristics of each country or region to make precise statements.

I love cheese... I have to be honest here, I really do. Not all cheese's, but there are certain kinds that I just adore. Cheddar, Mozzarella, Parmesan, Swiss, Pepper Jack, just to name a few! But I've never considered myself much of a cheese snob until I met my Hubby.
I will never ever forget the first Christmas I spent with my In Law family, not only was it my first time meeting them, so there was that awkward factor, but it was my first time spending Christmas away from my family. I remember that Christmas Eve so well... We spent the day just relaxing with his family, getting to know each other, and then going to the church's Christmas Eve service that night. Which was incredibly nerve wracking for me, meeting the congregation, and extended family... Let's just say before the service I was so nervous I felt sick. Everything went fine, at least for the most part. But afterward when we finally headed back to my In Laws I was finally famished! I hadn't eaten in hours because of my stomach and was ready for some serious grub. But to my surprise I find out his family has no real intentions of eating dinner, because they all ate such a big lunch. So when they pulled out different cheeses and crackers for everyone to munch on, I was floored. lol! This was the first time I experienced the art of eating cheese and crackers as a real "meal" and the tastes to look for in different cheese's.
Plate of Cheese's and pairings. The Sargento is the "marbled" looking one!
As some of you know I'm a part of the FoodBuzz Tastemaker Program, which is totally awesome! As a part of this program I received a $25 American Express Gift card to try my choice of Sargento's Natural Cheese, a processed cheese of my choice and the pairings of my choice (crackers, fruit, etc.). I have to admit there wasn't a huge selection at our store of Sargento's cheese, but after a while of hemming and hawing I decided to try one of their blends, so we got the Cheddar Mozzarella Blend... Oh my word y'all! I've never had a blended cheese quite like this before it was delicious!! I got a pairing of Summer Sausage, Apples and my favorite Crackers to go along with this tasting, (and of course the processed cheese). There was a pretty large difference between the Sargento and the Processed Cheese. The taste of Sargento, especially when paired up was exceptional. The processed was well... Processed. Not great but not completely awful either. They have a very different texture and taste from each other, and I have to say the Sargento was strong on both the Cheddar and Mozzarella in this blend, a great mixture of salty and almost fruity tastes. I would highly recommend giving the Sargento Cheese's a try, especially the blends... They really are delicious, however they do melt REALLY easy... So don't eat them in a room that is over 80 degrees, we found out (we live in AZ folks, it gets hot here!) or it starts to get gooey really fast. However this is GREAT for the recipe I am about to share with y'all!
Today my Little Sous Chef and I are stuck home in some nasty weather, so we decided to have some fun with lunch. We took a few simple things we had on hand, rolls, ham, cheese, honey mustard sauce and apples and made ourselves some sandwiches. I was a bit skeptical of his idea, but it did smell awfully good... Who knew he would hit it out of the park with this?!? I have to say I just loved this, and the cheese brings everything together because it's subtle enough to let the other flavors shine, but you can still pick it out of the line up!
Preheat your oven to 350F degrees. Using a serrated knife, slowly slice through the rolls lengthwise (place the rolls on a flat surface, and holding the top in place slice through the entire "tray" of rolls so they are like one long flat surface). In a small bowl combine the mayo, mustard and honey with whisk until smooth. Then spread about 1 teaspoon of sauce over the top and bottom halves of the rolls. Place 2 slices of apple on the bottom half of each roll, then top with the ham and cheese. Place the top half back on, and wrap the entire thing in foil. Bake for 15 minutes or until cheese is melted and everything is warmed through. Serve warm.
I have to say not only did I love the cheese by itself, but in this little sandwich is was amazing! These were so easy, and would be exceptional for parties! 5 stars.
Great sandwiches! Being a tastemaker is fun!! I am posting my cheese one tomorrow!
What a great tradition. My husband would adore it.
Totally drooling over this sandwich. The flavors sound so appealing.
I've had cheese and crackers for lunch a few times... good food. Your sandwich looks great.
All those brown baggers that bring their lunch will be pretty envious if they saw this sandwich! Between the potato bread is a mouth watering stack of goodness. Great post!
yum! I agree, cheese is the BEST!
Ooh! I forgot how much I miss summer sausage!
We had tons of varieties in WI, I think I liked Usinger's garlic beef the best, but down here in TN about the only thing you see is Hillshire Farms. Cak!


The holidays can seriously affect people who experience medical emergencies. That's because they frequently lead to emergency room wait times that are markedly lengthier than normal. Patients who head to the emergency room during the holiday season often have to compete with many others who are in the middle of similar situations.
Urgent medical issues tend to be significantly more common during the holiday season. That's one of the reasons why emergency rooms are so jam-packed at that time. There are quite a few factors that may contribute to the increase in pressing medical concerns. People tend to eat a lot more during the holidays. Parties and gatherings often present people with seemingly irresistible and often unhealthy choices in holiday treats.
There are a couple of other major components that are associated with increases in medical emergencies during the holidays as well. Frequent partying can bring on burnout and exhaustion. Stress, in general, can make people much more susceptible to medical woes. It can be tough to cope with the frustrations of jam-packed schedules, nonstop travel, gift selection and more. Physicians will see patients with all kinds of medical concerns during the holidays, including those dealing with alcohol intoxication, food poisoning and other issues.
On top of the rise in the number of patients they have to see, healthcare professionals also have to deal with increased workloads. This is particularly true for those who work in emergency rooms. It can be especially difficult to deal with increases in emergencies when other people are away. It also isn't uncommon for people to take time off during the holiday season. Doctors, nurses and administrative assistants may go on vacation, adding to the workload.
Appointment changes are common during the holidays as patients have to deal with healthcare clinics' minimal holiday hours. Patients may cancel or skip their appointments without notice altogether, and physicians may find themselves with more walk-ins due to emergency cases. This can affect healthcare provider schedules in big ways as they're forced to fit in unexpected patients.
Medical care isn't a hobby for our full-service recruitment firm. It's a way of life. Reach out to Locum Tenens as soon as possible for more information about holiday health matters, Indian service, benefits and more. We're a recruiter company that genuinely cares.

To temporarily stop migration of oil into the original gas cap, the existing gas injection project in this Texas Gulf Coast field was expanded. For the purpose, water turned out to be a more efficient displacing medium than gas. By unitizing the field and then injecting 80,000 barrels of water a day, oil migration can be stopped and 55 million more barrels of oil will be recovered.


High Quality Rice Papers with a Glow in the Dark Packaging that looks awesome under black lights and is perfect for parties.
Great for in the car, halloween parties and all kinds of situations where you might want your package of rolling papers to actually glow.
It works pretty cool! I've actually dropped them on the floor of my car… bang… they're right there! No problems!
The actual papers don't glow… that would be really cool though. We can't have people burning and smoking all kinds of weird chemicals, right! So let's be thankful the FDA doesn't allow that because it might make human tissue flammable so you explode or open up a vortex to another dimension that you'll get sucked into like science and stuff. That once happened to a buddy of mine when he tried to use the phone book paper (remember phone books) to roll a 12″. They're actually high quality rice papers in the pack so you'll be smoking some good stuff with your good stuff.

Grasses should have their place to bring tranquillity and calm to gardens of all sizes. They are a distinctive group which help to create a relaxing atmosphere as their foliage gently rustles in the wind, as well as adding invaluable architectural flair to the garden. Grasses also act as an interesting contrast to other plants and can be used effectively in the sensory garden or to soften areas of hard landscaping.
Ornamental varieties combine well with flowering perennials or broad-petalled flowering shrubs to create a subtle or explosive splash of colour. For dramatic arching leaves and fluffy flower plumes consider Miscanthus Sinensis, or for a splash of colourful variegation consider Carex Evergold or the popular Zebra grass, Miscanthus Zebrinus. Phormiums work well in containers and Yuccas make excellent centre-pieces. Alternatively for the largest of the feathery grasses, look no further than Stipa Gigantea.

Partidul Civic Maghiar (în ) a fost un partid politic de dreapta din România. Președintele partidului a fost János Mezei. În programul formațiunii este înscrisă autonomia Ținutului Secuiesc, precum și obținerea de drepturi mai generoase pentru minorități. PCM a fost înregistrat oficial în ianuarie 2008.

Partidul a fost înființat de organizația Uniunea Civică Maghiară (UCM), înființată la rândul ei în anul 2001. Acesta se prezintă drept o alternativă față de Uniunea Democrată Maghiară din România.

Alegeri

Alegerile din 2004
La alegerile locale din 2004 majoritatea candidaților simpatizanți ai UCM au participat ca independenți ori pe liste comune cu Acțiunea Populară (AP). Cel mai bun rezultat a fost obținut în Harghita, unde 3 membri ai UCM au obținut mandate de consilieri județeni, iar Jenõ Szász a fost reales primar al municipiului Odorheiu Secuiesc cu 51,5% din voturi.

La alegerile parlamentare UCM a participat pe liste comune cu Acțiunea Populară.

Alegerile din 2008
În anul 2008, după înregistrarea ca partid, PCM a participat la alegerile locale cu mai puțin succes (15 % la nivelul minorității maghiare din Transilvania și 37 % la nivelul Ținutului Secuiesc). Jenõ Szász a pierdut președinția Consiliului Județean Harghita în fața candidatului UDMR, Borboly Csaba. La alegerile parlamentare din același an, PCM n-a participat ca partid de sine stătător, dar a avut câțiva candidați independenți în județele Harghita, Covasna și Mureș.

A Turkish steam-frigate of the period visting Southampton
Gosport residents have long endured the taunt of 'Turks' and the accolade of living in 'Turk Town'.
The reasons behind this are often embroidered with miss-truths about Turkish prisoners of war being buried locally (at Haslar or on Rat island) and Turkish prisoners being kept in the local (Forton) prison.
The truth behind the story is easily explained:
There is no evidence to support the myth of Turkish prisoners ever being at Gosport. Forton Prison held American prisoners followed by French and finally British military prisoners. The hulks in Portsmouth harbour held French Napoleonic POWs and finally convicts. There is no evidence to support the idea that they held Turks who, according to the rumour, were later buried in Gosport. Likewise there is no evidence for the rumour that Turkish prisoners were held at Gosport as a result of the Gallipoli campaign. According to research on the Great War Forum, Turkish prisoners of that campaign were held in India and Burma with some possibly transported to Cyprus, none to England and certainly not Gosport.
The term 'Turk Town' seems to have its origins in an incident dating to 1850 when two Turkish ships, seeking shelter in Portsmouth Harbour during a courtesy visit were refused permission to land sailors at Portsmouth. Instead Gosport gave them a warm welcome and shelter, leading to those living in Portsmouth referring to their neighbour as 'Turk Town'. However this may be based on rumour.
The facts are that In November 1850, two ships of the Imperial Ottoman (Turkish) Navy, the Mirat-ý Zafer, a 44 gun frigate launched in 1834 and Sirag-i Bahrý (Sihâb-i Bahrî) a 64 gun frigate launched in 1837 anchored above Hardway at Gosport on a courtesy visit with a combined crew of 460 men. The visit lasted six months and during this time some of the crew died. The memorial at the Haslar cemetery records that they died from cholera but according to an article in the Morning Post dated April 24 1851 they were suffering from consumption, the old name for Tuberculosis. They were admitted to Haslar Hospital for treatment. The newspaper reported that sixteen of them died, however twenty six Turkish sailors are buried in the cemetery at Haslar. It is suggested that the other sailors were killed in training accidents. The captain of one of the vessels died in London and his body was taken down to Haslar for burial with his men. The paper noted that the turks:
"will leave Portsmouth without a single angry word, or even look, having passed between themselves and the inhabitants. Much of this is no doubt attributed to the good discipline which has been kept up by their officers, but it is chiefly to be referred to the unassuming bearing of the men themselves and their well-known total abstinence from all exciting liquors"
At the turn of the 19th Century the cemetery at Haslar was cleared to make way for the development of the Gun Boat Yard and the Turkish bodies were exhumed and transferred to Clayhall Cemetery where they now lie in peace.
The memorial inscription reads, in Turkish and English:
"They set sail for eternity met their creator and here they are laid to rest."

In der Schlacht bei Manzikert (heute Malazgirt, nördlich des Vansees gelegen) unterlag der byzantinische Kaiser Romanos IV. Diogenes am 26. August 1071 den türkischen Seldschuken unter Alp Arslan. Diese Schlacht spielte eine entscheidende Rolle für den zeitweiligen Zusammenbruch der byzantinischen Widerstandsfähigkeit und leitete mit der Einwanderung zahlreicher Oghusen/Turkmenen die türkische Ansiedlung in Anatolien ein.

Vorgeschichte
Im Jahr 1046 gerieten die Byzantiner erstmals in militärischen Kontakt mit den Seldschuken, als diese die armenische Hauptstadt Ani erobern wollten. Der unter Kaiser Konstantin IX. ausgehandelte Waffenstillstand währte bis 1064. Im Jahr 1053 sah sich Konstantin aus finanziellen Gründen gezwungen, u. a. seine armenischen Truppen zu entlassen, so dass die Ostgrenze des Reiches nur noch unter schwachem Schutz stand. Insgesamt hatte die Vernachlässigung des Heeres für das Reich erhebliche Konsequenzen. Konstantin verlor den größten Teil des byzantinischen Italien – mit Ausnahme der Gegend um Bari – an die Normannen. Sultan Alp Arslan führte ab 1064 Raubzüge gegen die angrenzenden christlichen Staaten wie Armenien, Georgien und das Byzantinische Reich. Dabei eroberte er mehrere Festungen, unter anderem die Festung der armenischen Hauptstadt Ani, die Burg von Şavşat im heutigen Artvin, die Burg von Kars und Oltu in Erzurum. Im Jahre 1067 folgte die Eroberung des Rests von Armenien und von Caesarea. In die gleiche Zeit fiel die Verwüstung des Balkans durch die Petschenegen im Herbst 1064.

Militärisches Vorgehen unter Romanos IV. Diogenes
Als Antwort auf die zunehmenden seldschukischen Raubzüge sah sich der kaiserliche Hof unter Kaiserin Eudokia, die seit dem Tod von Konstantin IX. für ihren unmündigen Sohn Michael VII. regierte, dazu gezwungen, einen Militär an die Spitze zu setzen. Die Wahl fiel auf Romanos IV. Diogenes, der von Konstantin XI. kurz vor seinem Tod noch unter dem Vorwurf der Teilnahme an einer Verschwörung zunächst zum Tode verurteilt und dann in die Verbannung geschickt worden war.

Nach seiner Heirat mit der Kaiserin wurde Romanos IV. am 25. Dezember 1067 zum Magistros und Stratelates ernannt. Er stellte sogleich eine Armee auf und brach Anfang 1068 zu seiner ersten Ostkampagne zur Sicherung der Front auf. In diesem Feldzug schloss er für seldschukische Plünderbanden den Zugang zur Region um Antiochia am Orontes durch die Einnahme der Stadt Hierapolis und des Forts Artha.

Im Februar 1071 schickte Romanos IV., der seit 1068 Mitkaiser von Michael VII. war, seine Gesandten zu Alp Arslan, um einen Friedensvertrag von 1069 zu erneuern und so die Nordflanke gegen weitere Angriffe der Seldschuken zu schützen. Alp Arslan stimmte dem Vertrag erfreut zu, brach seine Belagerung von Edessa ab und rüstete sich als Nächstes für einen Krieg gegen das Kernland der Fatimiden in Ägypten. Kurz darauf eroberte er Aleppo.

Romanos wollte die Gelegenheit nutzen, um gegen die muslimische Bedrohung seines Reiches im Osten aktiv vorzugehen. Er brach 1071 mit seiner Armee von Konstantinopel in den Osten auf, um in Armenien die bereits verlorenen Festungen zurückzuerobern, bevor die Seldschuken reagieren konnten. Als Alp Arslan, der Edessa (das heutige Şanlıurfa) belagerte, davon erfuhr, sammelte er seine Armeen und zog Romanos entgegen.

Verlauf

Zum Verlauf der Schlacht gibt es von zwei zeitgenössischen byzantinischen Autoren unterschiedliche Beschreibungen:

Die Version des Michael Attaleiates
Nach der Beschreibung des Michael Attaleiates, der selber an der Schlacht teilnahm, teilte Romanos IV. bei Theodosiopolis seine Armee in zwei Teile: Romanos befahl seinem General Joseph Tarchaneiotes, mit einem Teil der regulären Truppen und der Warägergarde gemeinsam mit den Petschenegen und den Franken nach Khliat zu ziehen. Romanos und der Rest der Armee marschierten nach Manzikert. Dadurch war die Armee in zwei Hälften von jeweils etwa 20.000 Mann geteilt. Es ist nicht sicher bekannt, was mit den Truppen des Tarchaneiotes geschah. Nach islamischen Quellen zerschlug Alp Arslan diese Armee. In den byzantinischen Quellen wird davon nichts erwähnt. Der Plan sah vor, dass die beiden Teile sich schnell unterstützen könnten, falls eine feindliche Armee käme.

Die Einnahme der Stadt Manzikert erfolgte fast kampflos und nach der Stationierung einer Garnison schlug die Armee ihr Lager in der Nähe auf. Erst zu diesem Zeitpunkt bekam Romanos IV. die Nachricht, dass eine große seldschukische Armee in der Nähe war und auf ihn zu marschierte. Dass Alp Arslan die Armee anführte, war Romanos IV. zu diesem Zeitpunkt nicht bekannt. Nachdem die Seldschuken nahrungssuchende byzantinische Einheiten angriffen, wurden Truppen unter Nikephoros Byrennios als Antwort ausgesandt. Beim darauffolgenden Scharmützel gab es keinen Gewinner. Die Forderung nach Verstärkung wurde jedoch anfangs von Romanos IV. verweigert. Die Seldschuken konnten durch die ganze Armee vertrieben werden. In der folgenden Nacht umritten sie jedoch das Lager der Byzantiner und beschossen es mit Pfeilen. Das Ziel dieser Aktion war es, die byzantinische Armee vom Wasser abzuschneiden. Am nächsten Tag lief die Hälfte der petschenegischen Söldner zu den Seldschuken über. Romanos IV. wollte zu diesem Zeitpunkt weiterhin auf die Verstärkung warten, bevor er eine Schlacht wagen würde. Am nächsten Tag begannen die Seldschuken Boten zu Friedensverhandlungen auszusenden. Dies wurde jedoch von den Generälen und Beratern des Kaisers als ein Spiel auf Zeit ausgelegt, woraufhin die Armee zur Schlacht aufgestellt wurde.

Die Seldschuken seien nach Attaleiates Bericht von dem Angriff so überrascht worden, dass sie flohen. Die Verfolgung der seldschukischen Truppen habe bis zur Abenddämmerung gedauert. Es ist sehr wahrscheinlich, dass der seldschukische Rückzug aus taktischen Gründen und somit geordnet geschah. Als Romanos IV. klar geworden sei, wie weit sich die Armee verteilt habe, ließ er seine Truppen zum Lager zurückkehren. Dieser Befehl sei von Teilen der Armee als ein Zeichen für den Tod des Kaisers missverstanden worden. Andronikos Dukas habe zudem dieses Gerücht weiter verbreitet. Die Seldschuken erkannten und nutzten die anschließende Panik und Verwirrung und gingen wieder zum Angriff über. Romanos IV., welcher nach Attaleiates die Truppen sammeln wollte, sei dabei eingekreist und im Kampf an der Schulter verletzt worden. Daraufhin sah er sich gezwungen, sich zu ergeben.

Die Version des Nikephoros Bryennios
Nikephoros Bryennios, der Enkel oder Sohn des gleichnamigen Generals und Teilnehmers der Schlacht, beschreibt in seiner Chronographie eine herkömmliche Schlacht. Da Romanos IV. Diogenes die Taktik der Seldschuken und den erfolgreichen Einsatz von berittenen Bogenschützen gut kannte, wurde eine starke Reservetruppe unter das Kommando von Andronikos Dukas gesetzt, von wo aus er effektiver die Truppen hätte unterstützen können. Als die rechte Flanke der byzantinischen Armee kollabierte, soll Andronikos Dukas grundlos die Unterstützung verweigert und sich zurückgezogen haben. Romanos IV. soll daraufhin im Kampf umzingelt und gefangen genommen worden sein. Ob der Großteil der Armee mit dem Kontingent mit der Belagerung von Khilat beschäftigt war, wird in dieser Darstellung nicht beschrieben.

Kaiser Romanos selbst geriet in Gefangenschaft. Nach Valerian war er der zweite Kaiser in der römisch-byzantinischen Geschichte, dem dies widerfuhr. Das Aufgebot des byzantinischen Adels flüchtete, um der Familie Dukas zur Kaiserkrone zu verhelfen.

Bedeutung und Folgen

Die Schlacht von Manzikert 1071 ist eine wichtige Wegmarke in der byzantinischen und türkischen Geschichte. Von den kleinasiatischen Gebieten, die über Jahrhunderte seine Stärke begründet hatten, konnte Byzanz (nach der Rückeroberung des Westens sowie einiger Hafenstädte im Zuge des 1. Kreuzzugs, der eine mittelbare Folge der Schlacht darstellen sollte) im Laufe des späteren 12. Jahrhunderts kaum mehr als die Küstenregionen halten, wenn es auch unter Manuel I. Komnenos ein letztes Mal in die Offensive ging. Etwa ein Jahrhundert nach Manzikert besiegelte jedoch die Niederlage von Manuel I. in der Schlacht bei Myriokephalon gegen die Rum-Seldschuken das Ende aller Rückeroberungsversuche. Ab der Mitte des 13. Jahrhunderts wurde dann wegen des ständigen militärischen Drucks auf dem Balkan der Abwehrkampf im Osten schließlich ganz vernachlässigt.

Es ist in der modernen Forschung allerdings sehr umstritten, ob die türkische "Landnahme" geplant war und ob Manzikert selbst überhaupt eine wirkliche Katastrophe darstellte. So war bereits Romanos IV. durch einen Staatsstreich an die Macht gelangt und daher nicht unumstritten. Alp Arslan hatte jedoch bereits mit dessen Vorgänger Konstantin X. eine Art Vertrag geschlossen. Alp Arslans Ziel war anfangs nicht Anatolien, sondern die Ausschaltung der Fatimiden. Durch die Offensive Romanos' IV. überrascht, reagierte Alp Arslan mehr spontan als gezielt. Die Verluste der Byzantiner bei Manzikert werden zudem als insgesamt eher moderat eingeschätzt; der Großteil der byzantinischen Truppen hatte sich offenbar intakt absetzen können. Viele moderne Historiker meinen zudem, dass erst die Kosten des Feldzugs und die Lösegeldzahlungen die byzantinische Wirtschaft gelähmt und somit auch die militärische Widerstandskraft von Byzanz geschwächt haben. Vor allem aber gehen sie davon aus, dass erst der auf die Schlacht folgende innerbyzantinische Bürgerkrieg die Abmachung, die Romanos IV. nach der Schlacht mit Alp Arslan geschlossen hatte, unwirksam machte, weshalb die Seldschuken ihren Vormarsch fortgesetzt hätten, wobei die innerbyzantinischen Kämpfe ihnen die schrittweise Besetzung Inneranatoliens ermöglicht hätten, die zuvor gar nicht das Ziel Alp Arslans gewesen sei.

Quellenlage
Die Schlacht wird in mehreren Quellen erwähnt, die beste ist der Byzantiner Michael Attaleiates, der persönlich an der Schlacht teilnahm. Seine Sicht wird jedoch durch den Versuch, Romanos IV. zu verteidigen, verzerrt. Als eine Quelle, welche eine andere Sicht auf die Schlacht wirft, kann Nikephoros Bryennios gesehen werden. Dieser widmete seine Chronik seinem Großvater Nikephoros Bryennios der Ältere, der ebenfalls an der Schlacht teilnahm. Die seldschukische Perspektive wurde Opfer der eigenen Legenden. Abgesehen von spezifischen Details dienen diese nur noch zur Forschung historischer Rezeption.

Es gibt auch mehrere zeitgenössische Quellen, die anti-byzantinisch eingestellt sind. Dazu zählen Michael der Syrer und Matthias von Edessa, die die Niederlage der Byzantiner als "göttliche Strafe" ansehen. Es gibt keine zeitgenössische muslimische Quelle. Eine der frühesten muslimischen Quellen stammt von Ibn al-Qalanisi.

This lesson discusses surveys used in market research. We'll review some objectives for surveys, typical types of survey questions, and the importance of wording, routing, sequencing, length, and layout.
If you've ever answered this question, 'What features do you look for when you purchase….?,' you've probably taken a market survey. You've probably taken more than one! Businesses use market surveys to learn about customers in order to provide what they want and need.
So, how do you evaluate survey questions to see if they are going to give you the information you're looking for? The first step is to know your objective. What do you want to do with the information you gather? Your objective will help you choose the best type of survey to gather the information you want.
Market description: Who is your typical customer?
Customer attitudes: How does the customer feel about the product or the business?
New product concept: Is there interest in a new product?
Habits and uses: How is your product being used by the consumer?
Advertising value: How did customers learn about your product?
Open-ended questions allow the customer to add their own narrative. Open-ended questions allow customers to provide answers the survey creator may not have thought of. For example: How do you hope this product will make your life better?
Closed-ended questions give the customer a choice of answers. The advantage of close-ended questions is that the data can be easily transformed into charts and graphs. Here's an example: How often do you use your laundry detergent?
Scaled questions provide a range of responses from positive to negative. Like closed-ended questions, the data from scaled questions can be tabulated and transformed into very clear information. Here's an example: Using the following scale, how would you rank this lesson so far?
Depending on your objective, you can use one or all of these types of questions to create a survey. But, not all surveys are created equal. Let's look at things to consider as you evaluate a survey.
When creating a survey, you should consider length, sequencing, and layout, routing, and choosing the right words. Let's check out why.
First, let's look at length, sequencing, and layout. Keep in mind that you're asking people for their time to help you meet your objective. Consider their time as valuable, and keep your survey short and to the point. A reasonable survey asks 20 questions. Longer surveys risk losing the interest of the customer, who may quit or not answer later questions fully or truthfully.
Surveys should start with questions about basic demographic information, but only what you require. Age, gender, education level, income, household size are some examples. You can then move into the specific questions that meet your objective. Questions should flow naturally from one to another. If you ask about one product, then switch to another product, don't return to ask questions about the first product.
With scaled questions, you need to consider left-to-right bias. Survey takers are more likely to pick answers on the left. Additionally, they are more likely to pick positive answers. If you put negative answers on the left, those two biases should cancel themselves out.
Now let's look at routing. In long surveys, try not to require answers for every question. You can use routing to send the survey taker to a more relevant question. For example: How many times have you used this product in the past month? If you haven't used the product, skip to question 11.
Define terms they may not know. You don't want customers to quit taking the survey because they do not understand a term in a question.
Add as many options as possible. Don't let your own bias drive the choices.
Rather than directing the survey taker to 'Select all that apply,' use 'select no more than 3.' This will still give you the data you need, and does not overwhelm your survey taker.
If possible, avoid ranking questions such as, 'Put these in order of importance.' Ranking takes time, and can overwhelm customers.
Don't use a lot of open-ended questions that show you didn't ask what you needed to know. Don't make the customer do the work for you.
How will they feel when they are finished? Don't ask a question if you don't need to know. If their sexual orientation is not directly relevant to the survey, don't ask. People are willing to share information, even personal information, as long as they see it is relevant.
Surveys are an excellent tool to use for market research. They can be used for a variety of purposes, such as determining customers' attitudes towards an existing product or a new product you are thinking of developing. Surveys can also be used to determine how a customer uses a product or how they heard about the product in the first place.
Most surveys use one or more of three basic types of questions: open-ended, where the customer provides answers to questions; closed-ended, where the customer is given a choice of answers; or scaled questions, where the customer chooses from a range of positive or negative responses.
There are many things to consider when evaluating the design of a market survey. The survey should not be too long; the questions should easily flow from one topic to the next. If the survey is exceptionally long, consider allowing the survey taker to skip to questions that are directly relevant to them. Finally, be careful of how you word your survey questions. Define terms they may not know, add as many options as possible for the survey taker to choose from, don't use a lot of open-ended questions, consider how the survey taker will feel when they are finished, and only ask questions that are necessary.


About three miles to the south-west near where the railway bridge crosses the B9022 road to Huntly, are the remnants of a stone circle at Arnhill, high above the road in a field to the west. Parking may be tricky here; ask permission at the farm to go up to the circle. Little is left except the south facing recumbent stone, fallen reddish stones, central cairn material, plus field clearance stones. The adjacent Ironstone is said to ring when struck with metal. I tried but no music came out.

5 Common Causes for ABN Delay
3 min read |
Michelle Gregory
The jubilation that follows a successful company registration can quickly sour if an ABN registration is refused or delayed for any length of time. Absence of an active ABN can affect your ability to open a company bank account and to effectively commence trading. We've identified five common causes for these frustrating delays and we're keen to share this wisdom…
1. International Associates
If an individual non-resident associate does not have a TFN, it is highly unlikely that the ATO has a record for them. Failure to provide a valid personal TFN will almost always result in a refusal or manual review for up to 28 days. During this time an ATO representative should contact you to advise how to rectify the issue.
To avoid delay, this is what the ATO will communicate:
The associate should apply for a TFN as an individual residing outside Australia; or
The associate should post certified copies of the identification documentation ordinarily required to apply for a TFN to the ATO's non-resident team. This should be accompanied by a letter expressing why he/she would like to proceed without a TFN, also citing the manual review reference number that has been issued.
Further instructions outlining the process that must be followed are available here .
The involvement of a company incorporated outside of Australia will automatically flag your application for manual review. In this situation, advise the EasyCompanies team that an international company is a shareholder and we will liaise with the ATO on your behalf to quicken the processing of your ABN application.
2. Personal Details of Associates
This is the most common reason for an ABN application to be refused or flagged for manual review. The details in the application must match the existing personal ATO record for each associate. Consider whether the full legal name has been entered.
To ensure that you are listing the correct information, please review each associate's most recent tax return. Pay attention to the current full name, date of birth, TFN and residential address. If you are unsure, call the ATO to confirm that what you are entering into the application matches their records.
This is a good opportunity to ensure each associate's personal information is accurate, particularly if place of residence changed or if a legal name change has occurred. If the latter is true and the official name change or marriage certificate was lodged with Australia's Births, Deaths and Marriages register, call the ATO to amend the legal name on their records.
N.B. The personal details listed in the company register should exactly match those that are held by the ATO. Any inconsistency may cause undue issues when setting up company bank accounts, applying for business loans and entering into contracts. Any changes should be reflected on the company register by lodging an electronic Form 484 with ASIC.
3. Hyphen in Associate's name
If an associate has a double-barrelled first, middle or surname, this could cause an error in the ATO's portal.
a) The affected associate can call the ATO to temporarily remove the hyphen in their recorded legal name. Re-submit the ABN application and contact the ATO to reinstate the hyphen.
b) Contact the EasyCompanies team who can sort this out on your behalf provided that you supply the required information to authorise our assistance.
4. Formatting Issues
It is crucial to enter only the required information into the textboxes provided. For example, if asked for the suburb name, please type that alone - Sydney, not Sydney NSW 2000.
This error will not usually result in a refusal or manual review though it will cause an unnecessary and avoidable delay.
5. A Minor as an Associate
It is legally acceptable for a minor (person below 18 years of age) to be a company shareholder. When applying for a company ABN, you will be required to cite their TFN to avoid delay. If the minor does not have a TFN, the minor will need to apply. There is no minimum age requirement for a TFN application.
Please note that a shareholder is required to consent to his/her involvement with a company. If a minor cannot give written consent, it would be essential to consider whether including the minor in the company is appropriate.

Rangate, based in Blaine, Washington, shows a CNC router milling out the pockets for the Omni Joint joinery system on window sash components, and shows a corner piece get assembled in real time.
The system allows assembly of a door in minutes, with no gluing or clamping for time-saving, space-saving and cost-saving on gluing and clamping equipment. These are all key advantages for window and door manufacturers. Rangate says the system works on tables, furniture, art pieces, and even trellis work.
No gluing or clamping is required, saving you hours of work, and costs for equipment and supplies.
Each individual component can be hooked to your finishing line and sprayed separately, saving time and ensuring a perfect finish on each piece.
Each inserted piece self-centers both vertically and horizontally, ensuring a perfect alignment on each joint.
Omni Joints can be linked directly to your window or door's hardware with high compatibility, making for an easier installation and a stronger hold.
Each angular door requires 4 corner pieces, 1 at each corner of the door.
Each additional rail or mullion on your door will require 2 center pieces to connect it to the frame at either end.
To use Omni Joint without CNC mortising and drilling, Rangate supplies specialized jigs to ensure the accuracy of drilling.
The material you're working with (hardwood or softwood), and the thickness of your material (1-¾" or 2-¼") will determine which parts are right for your project. Learn more at Rangate.


NO FRACKING: Stuart Nuggett, May August and Stephanie Roberts from the NT in Sydney ahead of Origin's Annual General Meeting. Photo: Protect Country Alliance.
Anti-fracking activists were in Sydney today to launch a national campaign urging Australians to join the fight in protecting the Territory from Origin's fracking plans.
Traditional owners from surrounding Katherine areas travelled to share their powerful stories at the front of Origin's Annual General Meeting (AGM).
The Protect Country Alliance alongside native title holders put pressure on the energy company by asking investors to drop the high-risk project.
They are also urging customers to switch to other electricity providers, until Origin agrees to drop plans for fracking the Territory.
Karrina Nolan the director of Original Power, said she was excited with the amount of people standing in solidarity with traditional owners.
"We are all part of a powerful movement, and this is just the very beginning of our campaign to tell Origin they cannot frack in the Northern Territory," Ms Nolan said.
Nick Fitzpatrick from Borroloola, NT, spoke in Sydney today about how fracking will impact his land. Picture: Protect Country Alliance.
"We will be talking to every single Origin customer across this country, every single board member, every single shareholder. We will be telling them it is not okay, that traditional owners did not give them consent to frack the Territory," she said.
The group of native title holders are challenging Origin, claiming the company did not procure agreements from NT landholders for fracking exploration.
"We know that traditional owners have not been given the correct information about fracking," Ms Nolan said.
"They have often been told there will be just five frack wells, not 500.
"They haven't been told there will be hundreds of chemicals, they've been told there will just be a handful.
"And they haven't been told what Origin's plans are for the water, or how they will manage the emissions," she said.
Northern Territory Native Title holders presented Origin Energy's Executive with a letter of complaint signed by close to 200 fellow landholders at its company AGM in Sydney today.
The letter accuses Origin of inadequate consultation practices over its NT gas fracking agreements.
"The group said Origin withheld critical information about the scale and risks of its Beetaloo basin gasfield proposals and that Origin's conduct denied the right to fair process for landholders, and breaches the company's stated commitment to principles of free, prior and informed consent during negotiations," Lauren Mellor from Protect Country Alliance said.
Stephanie Roberts, a native title holder from Minyerri said she was worried about her land, today at the AGM.
The campaign to stop fracking in the NT is gaining momentum. Picture: Protect Country Alliance.
"Our community doesn't want fracking on our land," Ms Roberts said.
"We don't want fracking through the water system. It will poison the land. It will impact our bush foods. The fracking wells pollute the air and make young kids sick. We are thinking about the future generations when we say no.
"[Origin] didn't give us the right details about what is involved with fracking. Origin and the Land Council have only spoken to a small group of people, and not enough information was provided to us.
The landholder's objections were backed by a vote on a shareholder resolution lodged by the Australasian Centre for Corporate Responsibility (ACCR).
A total of 7.76 per cent of shareholders backed calls for Origin to conduct a review into its NT gas fracking agreements and report publicly on the outcome.
"Landholders have welcomed the over-due commitment from Origin to provide copies of its contested consultation materials to concerned community members," Protect Country Alliance's Ms Mellor said.
According to an Origin spokesperson, the Northern Land Council is in charge of determining who are native title holders on the permit areas.
Origin CEO Frank Calabria said he has confidence in the processes of the Northern Land Council.

UK: Fears of resurgent terrorism as COVID-19 lockdown ends
The United Kingdom might witness a rebounding of terrorist violence as coronavirus containment measures taper off, experts warn. Far-right groups are seeking to exploit the conspiracy narratives linked to COVID-19.
On June 20, as Brits basked in the mid-summer sunshine, terror struck with little warning. Armed with a knife, 25-year-old Khairi Saadallah walked into a park in Reading and stabbed to death three friendsin a frenzied, indiscriminate attack, prosecutors allege.
It was — in the words of Neil Basu, head of UK counter-terror policing — the "re-emergence" of one disease, extremism, as another, COVID-19, recedes.
He is not alone in his concern. Deprived of social stimulation during lockdown, experts worry that idled, vulnerable minds with unrestricted internet access might've been easy prey for online radical groups or individuals.
"Isolation may exacerbate grievances that make people more vulnerable to radicalization — such as social alienation," said Chief Superintendent Nik Adams, a senior counter-extremism police officer. "The extremists know this and, as ever, will look to exploit any opportunity to lead those people into harm, often using topical issues as hooks to lure them in."
Preventing 'Prevent'
These fears are compounded by the faltering of Britain's foremost anti-terrorism strategy, "Prevent." Designed to forestall extremist violence by presenting would-be attackers with a peaceful counter-narrative, the program is designed to be delivered locally by teachers, healthcare practitioners, social workers, and religious leaders.
With the sudden closure of schools, public services, and places of worship as COVID-19 fears deepened, a striking drop in referrals to "Prevent" — some 50% — was recorded in the first month of Britain's lockdown.
In a more direct way, too, the pandemic has proved fertile ground for radical propagandists bent on spreading hate. Islamic fundamentalists, for instance, are known to have used social media to characterize coronavirus as God's wrath against the West, and called for adherents to launch attacks while governments are preoccupied with the public health emergency.
And then there is the specter of right-wing terror. Mirroring a trend seen across Europe, Britain's far-right threat is growing at alarming pace. Official figures released earlier this year revealed that around a quarter of individuals referred to de-radicalization services had ties to right-wing ideology — 10% greater than those with Islamist leanings.

Indeed, more so than other extremist outfits, right-wing groups have seized the COVID-19 crisis to propagate their malign message, experts say.
Exploiting the conspiracy narrative
"The far-right especially have done an excellent job of taking advantage of the various conspiracy theories that have been flying around and of the racist sentiments that have come with coronavirus," said Dr Jessica White, a terrorism analyst at the Royal United Services Institute think tank.
Read more: Coronavirus: How do I recognize a conspiracy theory?
"They've been using those and fitting them into the historical tropes that they already have... and this has crept further into the mainstream [of the far-right] because there's so much coverage of the COVID-19 crisis," she added.
This sort of coronavirus-linked right-wing propaganda has taken many shapes, authorities say — from spurious claims that the infection is spread fastest by ethnic groups, to theories around Chinese involvement in the virus's creation.
Conspiracy theories have been seized upon by radical groups
Individuals caught in a cycle of unemployment and lack of prospects are often more susceptible to this sort of disinformation, analysts argue, raising concerns that a post-pandemic economic downturn could also heighten the radicalization risk.
"There's certainly an argument to be made that poverty and deprivation feed into radicalization and the tools that recruiters would use to capture some of the people that they're trying to get their message to," said White.
More vulnerable than ever
In a very practical sense, too, Brits emerging from lockdown might face an elevated terror threat. Recent years have seen a surge in so-called "vehicle-ramming attacks" (both in the UK, and abroad); a phenomenon that could accelerate as public life shifts outdoors in line with COVID-19 containment measures, academics warn.
"It has been highlighted in the strategy that the risk of infection outside is significantly lower than inside, and consequently, people will be encouraged to utilize [open air] public spaces more," said Dr Alasdair Booth of Loughborough University.
"[This] is likely to increase vulnerabilities towards the public from a terrorism perspective and this will need to be carefully considered and balanced."
To mitigate the risk, authorities must explore options to protect pedestrianized zones and other outdoors areas — such as reinforced street furniture strong enough to stop an oncoming vehicle — Booth added.
Such measures cannot exist in isolation, but as part of a much wider strategy that looks to root out radicalism before violence erupts — the threat of which has, many fear, been fomenting behind closed doors for months.
