The UNIVERISTY OF KANSAS SCHOOL OF MEDICINE
Plustek Helps Medical Campus achieve its Goal to Go Digital
The University of Kansas School of Medicine-Salina opened in July 2011 as an innovative medical education program designed to address the shortage of rural doctors in the United States. The goal of the program is to attract medical students with a strong interest in practicing rural medicine and encourage them to stay and build their own practices in rural areas after earning their degrees and completing their residencies. The new campus' curriculum is tied to the classroom offerings at the KU Medical Center's campuses in Kansas City and Wichita. The learning process relies heavily on video-conferencing, with students in Salina participating in lectures with their peers in other cities and receiving many of their lectures via podcast.
To keep the program functioning at its highest potential, Salina campus leaders decided that the best way to streamline costs was to go green by using products such as scanners that are more cost-effective than printers and reduce paper waste.
School administrators reviewed their options and were leaning toward a large and expensive book scanner that had been used with great success on another campus. Before deciding on purchasing it, they were introduced to Plustek's ST BookScan Center, which offered features similar to the larger scanner but was more cost-effective. Because of its size and price point, KU School of Medicine-Salina administrators opted for the ST BookScan Center. They believed the ST BookScan Center was a good match for the school's highly computerized curriculum. School administrators believe the medical students will find it more suited to the electronic delivery of course materials than a traditional copier. 2
"We're hosting a new generation of students who are much more comfortable and tech-savvy than ever before, so I'm sure they will think of endless ways to use the scanner in ways we haven't even discovered," said Lucy Kolhoff, senior coordinator, KU School of Medicine, Salina campus. "Because of the distance from the main school, our campus uses digital methods of communication, so the ST BookScan Center works well with what we've been trying to create, which is a highly accessible place to learn and retrieve information quickly."
Currently, Kolhoff is using the ST BookScan Center for archiving and digitizing documents that are easily sent to the main campus. The scanner is located in an accessible spot that allows medical students to readily scan library materials to thumb drives and emails as well. Kolhoff believes that the Plustek ST BookScan Center would be ideal for businesses and educational facilities that rely heavily on paper and toner but want to go green. Kolhoff said that its user-friendly software made the ST BookScan Center simple to understand and easy to use.
An ideal alternative to the copier, the Plustek ST BookScan Center can scan books and large format documents to a USB flash drive, shared network folder, FTP site, email address or even a printer. The system is easy to use and does not require user training. Prompts on the touch screen display guide users through the scanning process and enable them to save books, bound materials and documents in a variety of formats including searchable PDF. The ST BookScan Center was created based on the concept of book preservation, digitization of content and sharing of the book electronically. It can scan up to A3 size page (12" x 17") in just 2.4 seconds. Thanks to Plustek's patent pending SEE technology, spine shadows and distortions are eliminated and thick books are scanned without unbinding or dismantling making it a perfect solution for digitizing precious and valuable books and documents. The optional coin-op/card-op payment system can be added for organizations that want to generate revenue from the use of the system.

The Plustek SmartOffice PS286 Plus scanner helps Goodwill go digital
Located in the heart of Astoria, Queens, NY, Goodwill Industries of Greater NY and Northern NJ, Inc.® offers workforce development services, youth and community programs and retail and business opportunities to diverse populations across the region. In 2009, Goodwill Industries of Greater NY and Northern NJ helped more than 164,000 people search and train for careers in industries such as banking, IT and health care, to name a few — and get the supporting services they needed to be successful, such as English language training, additional education, or access to transportation and child care. More than 13,000 people obtained meaningful employment in 2009 through their participation in Goodwill programs. The investment to support this initiative was $28 million in government grants and fees for employment services. These people were placed in competitive employment and went on to earn $274 million in their first year of work and paid $54 million in taxes. The savings in public assistance to taxpayers was $107 million. That is a ROI of $407 million in salaries and wages - a meaningful contribution to their communities as productive, tax-paying citizens.
To keep the organization functioning at its highest potential, Goodwill uses over 100 Plustek SmartOffice PS286 Plus scanners at sites scattered over the New York metro area, by job coaches, counselors, assistants and even the receptionists. The receptionist scans the clients Goodwill issued ID cards when they arrive at the facility; the counselors scan any paperwork that the client has that proves they worked, attended training or applied for jobs over the previous week; and assistants scan forms that the clients fill out as part of their job coaching and counseling. It is estimated that the scanning volume of the Goodwill New York metro offices is nearly 1,000 pages a day on some devices – keeping the organization efficient and streamlined.
"We are very happy with the performance of the scanners, and will be buying more in 2011," said Andre Bromes, Chief Information Officer for Goodwill Industries of Greater New York and Northern New Jersey. "So far, we have not had any scanner failures and the ROI on the scanners is beyond our expectations."
Bromes says the combination of the price-point and functionality of Plustek's PS286 Plus increased efficiencies contributed (among other things) to the rapid ROI on their Welfare to Work project – just 45 days! A higher priced scanner would have limited these Goodwill facilities from scanning all of their paperwork at their desks. Each counselor needs their own scanner, which helps them to scan client documents without having to leave their desk area and leave the conversation with the people they are working with – which increases the number of clients each counselor can see a day thereby increasing efficiencies.

The Plustek SmartOffice PS286 Plus scanner helps CPA office manage tax documents
Tami Henry has been an accountant for 15 years, currently working at the offices of Terry M. Rabe, CPA. Tami's responsibilities include prepping the accounting documents for various small businesses during tax season, as well as handling tax returns and archiving all of the original documents filed. The job role requires her to ensure that all documents and records are saved and filed for review in an ongoing and timely manner. Her scanning duties become even more sensitive (and time intensive) when it is tax season (January 1st-April 15th).
"Our offices recently implemented going paperless with all accounting services for several clients," explained Tami. "We use the Plustek SmartOffice PS286 Plus on a daily basis to scan supporting documentation for tax returns and forms like W-2's and 10-99's. We no longer keep any paper files on the tax clients."
Tami uses the SmartOffice PS286 Plus with eFileCabinet software that offers solutions to store, share and protect their valuable and confidential business data assets.
Tami finds relief in a dedicated document scanning solution that is convenient, efficient and produces quality images. The Plustek SmartOffice PS286 Plus is a 25 page per minute, color duplex document scanner that features an integrated, flip out 50-sheet automatic document feeder (ADF). The PS286 Plus can scan batches of mixed sized documents from business card sized up to 8.5 x 17" including embossed ID cards and driver licenses.
Tami appreciates how technologically advanced her office has become. "Right after I scan my pages, they are immediately displayed right up on my computer screen," said Tami. "The Plustek SmartOffice PS286 Plus and eFileCabinet software saves me time not having to go pull physical files, when I can pull it up with just a few clicks of my mouse."
Although Tami's office also has a competitive brand scanner, she is happy with the Plustek scanner because of the quality and price. "The quality is comparable in the job both scanners do, no paper jams or mis-feeds, but the price of the competitive scanner is twice as much," said Tami. "I would recommend the Plustek SmartOffice PS286 Plus scanner to CPA's, accountants, and small businesses that have a need for wanting to save any documents electronically."

The Plustek SmartOffice Scanners with AutoMED's Hosted Software Solutions help doctors automate their workflows
In the technological era, everyone is using iPads and Smartphones to make their lives easier – including physicians. The medical industry is typically bogged down with paperwork, but now more and more doctors, clinicians, administrators, and assistants are using scanners to bridge to paperless.
Plustek's SmartOffice PS286 Plus and the PS406U scanners are popular models in the medical industry because they are fast, light, mobile and take up very little space. These scanners are able to quickly scan patient registration, medical records, insurance cards and identification cards, which are a very important part of the administrative and clinical process for hospitals and clinics.
For over 11 years AutoMED has delivered software solutions to hospitals and medical clinics. AutoMED works with doctors to make their workday more efficient and effective. Clinicians are often mobile, working between several clinics and need to keep their patient files and information paperless in a single location. AutoMED and Plustek have partnered to provide effective and affordable paperless solutions to medical clinics and physicians.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 set aside nearly $20 billion in incentive payments for physicians who adopt electronic health record technology over the next five years. In order to qualify for the incentive monies, physicians must be using certified technology, allowing nearly every physician in America to gain up to $63,000 in incentives to switch to an electronic environment. Plustek and AutoMED solutions make these recovery monies a reality for physicians. This has sparked incredible interest in going paperless and allowed Plustek and AutoMED to service this need.
"Clinician doctors often work at several different facilities and have to juggle their time and efforts running between offices," said Joe Persky, vice president of AutoMED. "Our focus is to provide solutions allowing for improved efficiency and increased productivity; the Plustek scanners keep them mobile and paperless without breaking the bank. These scanners are light and rugged enough to withstand constant transport without failure; powerful enough to upload medical records in seconds; compact enough to fit in even the tightest workspaces and affordable enough to allow clinics of all sizes to benefit." In fact Mr. Persky says prior to the Plustek option, "the average clinic was paying triple for scanners which were slower, heavier and bulkier."

Hapy Bear Surgery Center Effortlessly Transitions to Electronic Health Records (EHR) by using the Plustek MobileOffice AD450
Plustek scanners help pediatric dental center to go paperless
Hapy Bear Surgery Center is a pediatric sedation dental office that provides general anesthesia to dental patients referred to them by over 200 dental offices. Hapy Bear has been serving patients in the Central Valley of California since 1997. In 2010 they moved into a brand new, state-of-the-art surgery center that provides a spacious, comfortable, kid-friendly environment.
Pediatric sedation dentistry in a surgery center requires more paperwork than a normal dental office because treatment is both dental and medical. Jeremy Pierson, Chief Information Officer, started researching ways to better handle the paperwork and become compliant with Electronic Health Records (EHR) requirements stipulated in the Affordable Care Act. After much research he decided to purchase four Plustek's MobileOffice AD450 scanners. One of the primary deciding factors was the small footprint since there was limited space at the front desk and in the consultation and exam rooms.
The Hapy Bear facility now has 100 percent electronic patient records. While most dental/medical offices require rooms of shelving for paper files, they do not.
Before each procedure at Hapy Bear, pediatric patients and their parents are taken to a consultation room where they speak with the dentist and anesthesiologist, ask questions about the procedure, and complete and sign necessary paperwork. Since a signed copy of all the paperwork must be sent home with the patient/parent, a staff member used to have to run to the photocopier to make a copy for the parent. This wasted time, was very cumbersome, and not very professional. Now with small scanners in each room, identification cards, medical insurance cards, and all paperwork are instantaneously scanned into Hapy Bear's computer system and handed directly back to the parent.
Plustek's TWAIN driver was another major selling point for the MobileOffice AD450. The primary computer program than Hapy Bear uses is Dentrix and it required a TWAIN scanner to interface directly into its Document Center. It only requires one click on the computer screen for the entire scanning process to complete eliminating the need for extensive staff training.
"Using the little Plustek scanners has solved several problems for us, including our space issues. We needed a small unit that could fit on a desk and be unobtrusive," said Pierson. "Quick and simple scanning has also helped us significantly streamline our patient flow, helped us to become fully compliant with EHR requirements, and helps us project the image of the state-of-the-art, top of the line facility that we are."
Becoming fully EHR compliant was an important step for Hapy Bear Surgery Center. They became eligible for the Medicare and Medicaid Electronic Health Record Incentive Program providing $21,500.00 per doctor to help cover the costs of converting to the EHR system. They will also be eligible to receive $8,500.00 per doctor each year for the next 5 years as they show meaningful use of their EHR system. The Plustek scanners form an integral part of that system.
There can be a lot of anxiety felt by parents when taking their child to a sedation dental office. Parents want to be assured that their child is being treated in a well-run, state-of-the-art facility that meets the highest standards of State and Federal compliance. By using the Plustek's MobileOffice AD450 scanners, Hapy Bear surgery continues to provide a smooth and seamless experience to their patients, while assuring the parents that the highest standards of care are being met and surpassed.
The MobileOffice AD450 Scanner is one of the few mobile scanners on the market with an Automatic Document Feeder and the ability to run on USB bus or AC power, making it ideal for anywhere, anytime scanning. The AD450's small footprint and its ability to scan rigid cards including insurance cards, credit cards, and membership cards make the AD450 ideal for front desk applications.
For more information call (714) 670-7713, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or visit www.plustek.com/usa.
In the paper world, when a patient checks in with the front desk department, the receptionist has to leave his/her desk to make photo copies for the patients' identifications and insurance cards. Staff in hospitals and clinics are overwhelmed by diverse paper documents such as insurance forms, patient documents, lab requests, referral letters, EOBs, etc. The billing department staff rummage through paper files to find insurance claims, denied claims or late payments from the healthcare payers.
Are those scenes familiar to you?
Plustek scanners reduce registration time, automate your data entry, improve data accuracy, speed up claim processing and meet the compliance requirements (HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley, and others). Whether it is an admissions process, patient records or a doctor's office environment, Plustek scanners make short and easy work out of converting paper into digital documents filing. Plustek healthcare solution scanners offer the optimal value and performance.Plustek's Patient Registration Desk and Mobile Solutions for Quick Scanning Anytime, Anywhere
In the patient registration area, Plustek scanners are used to scan and digitize: insurance cards, driver's licenses, corporate ID cards, credit cards, business cards, HIPAA forms, patient documents, payment checks, receipts, medical prescriptions, claim documents, invoices.
This series of Plustek scanners feature small footprint and high versatility. They fit neatly into your limited front desk space or a point of care mobile cart. Workers are more productive because the scanners can easily fit into their existing work environment. Their portability allows these scanners to be used at the point of patient intake or patient care.
Your business depends on data; a lot of it is on paper. Plustek scanners enable drivers to scan transportation documents at their source, in the truck cab or anywhere a laptop or portable computer can be used.Typical documents include:
Capturing critical documents quickly at their source reduces business cycle times and improves payment times. Proof of delivery information can be provided in minutes instead of days. Errors normally caused by manual data entry are reduced. Mailing costs can be eliminated.

Plustek's patent-pending SEETM Technology (Shadow Elimination Element) combines a patented lamp light with a special edge design that allows the scanning module to scan right up to where the book spine is placed. This clever design avoids the need for a large, expensive overhead scanner or complicated image-editing software.
Becky Haydel has been a successful Deputy Clerk of Court in Franklin, Louisiana for many years. Becky's responsibilities include scanning and archiving all of the original documents filed with the City for land preservation purposes. The job role requires her to ensure that all public documents and records are available to the general public for review and copying in an ongoing and timely manner. Her scanning duties become even more sensitive (and time intensive) when it comes to scanning aged (and often bound) documents that are susceptible to damage when scanning in the traditional fashion.
"I use the Plustek A300 GreenScan System several times throughout the day to produce copies of the original documents that have been bound into book volumes," explained Becky. "This Plustek GreenScan System saves me time because it allows me to scan my next document page while the first page is printing."
"The Plustek GreenScan System is very useful in producing excellent scanned copies from our older bound records," said Becky. "Producing quality images and saving me time makes my job easier."
"Saving time on scanning documents has allowed me to give assistance to those who need it, when they need it."Read more from PDF

Low Cost Vet Mobile Provides High-Volume Curbside Veterinary Services in NYC using Plustek's MobileOffice S420
Founded in 2009, Low Cost Vet Mobile is a mobile veterinary hospital that provides low-cost, high-volume services to the New York City area, including the five boroughs. Low Cost Vet Mobile employs a total of eight veterinarians. The mobile MASH hospital operates with a four or five person crew which includes at least one veterinarian and one veterinary technician. Each unit services about 40 appointments per day.
Before using a mobile scanner, Low Cost Vet Mobile kept full medical charts in the van for every appointment they made throughout the day and the van was quickly running out of room. Another problematic situation involved the long process of paperwork that needed to be sent to veterinary laboratories and hospitals for blood tests, medical records, and to schedule surgeries. Papers were not sent until the end of the day when the team arrived back to the main office to scan and email them, thus lengthening the process and time to when surgeries were scheduled.
Two years ago, Low Cost Vet Mobile decided to solve these problems by buying a Plustek MobileOffice S420 mobile scanner to go paperless. By using the MobileOffice S420 scanner, the Low Cost Vet Mobile team is able to provide its services more efficiently and effectively. They are able to scan their paperwork at 12 pages per minute using Plustek's MobileOffice S420. Scanned paperwork can be now be emailed immediately from the van; eliminating their older problem when paperwork was not sent until the day's end.
The Plustek MobileOffice S420 is a small, lightweight scanner that takes up very little room in the van. Eliminating the need for piles and piles of files creates more usable room in the van as well.
Vibration from a moving van is a huge factor for a business that operates on the road. Plustek's mobile scanners have proven effective despite the vibration issues. The Low Cost Mobile Vet team not only scans documents, but they are able to use as the MobileOffice S420 as a copy machine and attach the documents to emails from the road.
Designed with the reliability demanded by business users, and a price point attractive to home users, the second generation mobile scanners are powered by the USB and do not require external power. With the touch of a button, users can scan information directly to a laptop. It also features advanced image processing that allows the user to scan mixed sized documents with no adjustments. Images are automatically straightened, rotated and adjusted for exposure with no manual intervention. The result is more accurate Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and fewer pages that need to be rescanned. The included software productivity suite allows the user to easily create and manage searchable PDF's. Industry standard TWAIN drivers combined with TIF, JPG, PDF and Microsoft Office file formats ensure compatibility with thousands of scanning and imaging programs. The MobileOffice S420 features a faster 12ppm scan speed, embossed card scanning, an office docking station, may be shared between two PCs, and is Energy Star compliant.

They argue that maintaining a life sentence criminal costs nations lots of resources compared to death penalty. This, nevertheless, is not necessary true. Capital punishment squanders and energy of the whole justice system. Prolonged court session before one can be convicted waste resources that could otherwise be used to compensate families of victims.
As it has already been noted, some suspects get executed on the basis of social status. The numbers of poor people who have been executed in all American states exceed the nuumber of rich suspects who have had the same fate. Poor people may not have enough fees to hire attorneys who can put up a strong defense in court.
Innocent people have thus ended up being executed a simply because they could not hire attorney who could represent them well. The issue of poverty notwithstanding, suspects may get convicted to die simply because an error was made by a judge who is all human and bound to make mistakes.
All worlds' religions including certain cults teach against killing. Christians, for example, state that God is the sole provider of life and no human being has the power or authority to take human life. Other religious hold a similar stand. If almost everyone living on this planet is taught about sanctity of life, why should a state organ, like the judiciary, come in and do something contrary to these teachings.
Arguments against death sentence are solid. Any person looking at these arguments rationally will be convinced that death sentence should be abolished by those who still practice it. We are in the 21 st century and so barbaric executions like those of days of slave should be done away with. Death penalty fails to respect sanctity of life and should thus be seen as an unfeeling, immoral and inhumane act.
Innocent people have ended up being victims of errors made by justice systems. All these reasons form a formidable force that should push any stubborn nation, institution or individual to admit that it is a high time that death penalty was abolished. Against the Death Penalty.

This assignment instructed students to write a persuasive essay which argues for a specific viewpoint or a specific action to be taken on a societal issue. I argued for a specific stance to be taken on the issue of the death penalty.
The audience for this essay is the opinion section of the Sunday New York Times. This publication has a wide readership. The largest percentage of readers are between the ages of 35 and 44, and the majority of readers have either a college degree or a graduate degree. This essay argues for a question of value. The death penalty is an issue that has the United States quite divided.
While there are many supporters of it, there is also a large amount of opposition. Currently, there are thirty-three states in which the death penalty is legal and seventeen states that have abolished it Death Penalty Information Center. I believe the death penalty should be legal throughout the nation. There are many reasons as to why I believe the death penalty should be legalized in all states, including deterrence, retribution, and morality; and because opposing arguments do not hold up, I will refute the ideas that the death penalty is unconstitutional, irrevocable mistakes are made, and that there is a disproportionality of race and income level.
The use of capital punishment greatly deters citizens from committing crimes such as murder. Ernest van den Haag, a professor at Fordham University, wrote about the issue of deterrence:. They fear most death deliberately inflicted by law and scheduled by the courts…. Hence, the threat of the death penalty may deter some murderers who otherwise might not have been deterred. And surely the death penalty is the only penalty that could deter prisoners already serving a life sentence and tempted to kill a guard, or offenders about to be arrested and facing a life sentence.
This was due to other possible murderers being deterred from committing murder after realizing thatother criminals are executed for their crimes. Capital punishment also acts as a deterrent for recidivism the rate at which previously convicted criminals return to committing crimes after being released ; if the criminal is executed he has no opportunity to commit crimes again.
Some may argue that there is not enough concrete evidence to use deterrence as an argument for the death penalty. The reason some evidence may be inconclusive is that the death penalty often takes a while to be carried out; some prisoners sit on death row for years before being executed. This can influence the effectiveness of deterrence because punishments that are carried out swiftly are better examples to others.
Although the death penalty is already effective at deterring possible criminals, it would be even more effective if the legal process were carried out more quickly instead of having inmates on death row for years.
The death penalty also carries out retribution justly. When someone commits a crime it disturbs the order of society; these crimes take away lives, peace, and liberties from society. Giving the death penalty as a punishment simply restores order to society and adequately punishes the criminal for his wrongdoing. Retribution also serves justice for murder victims and their families. This lack of malice is proven in the simple definition of retribution: The death penalty puts the scales of justice back in balance after they were unfairly tipped towards the criminal.
The morality of the death penalty has been hotly debated for many years. Those opposed to the death penalty say that it is immoral for the government to take the life of a citizen under any circumstance.
It is immoral to not properly punish a person who has committed such a horrendous crime. The criminal is also executed humanely; in no way is he subjected to torture or any form of cruelty. All states that use the death penalty use lethal injection; the days of subjecting a prisoner to hanging or the electric chair are long gone in the US.
Inmates are first given a large dose of an anesthetic so they do not feel any pain Bosner ; this proves that the process is made as humane as possible so the inmates do not physically suffer. Although the issue of morality is very personal for many people, it is important to see the facts and realize that capital punishment does take morality into account and therefore is carried out in the best way possible. The eighth amendment to the United States Constitution prevents cruel and unusual punishment.
Many opponents of capital punishment say that execution is cruel and unusual punishment and therefore violates the Constitution.
As was stated earlier, the recipient of the death penalty is treated humanely and is not tortured in any way, shape, or form. After the anesthetic is administered the person feels no pain; the only part of the process that could be considered painful is when the IV is inserted, but that is done in hospitals on a daily basis and no one is calling it unconstitutional.
The Supreme Court has repeatedly upheld the death penalty as constitutional in cases they have presided over. In the case of Furman v. The Supreme Court has not found capital punishment to be unconstitutional, and therefore this argument for abolition is invalid.
Another argument put forth by death penalty abolitionists is the possibility of executing an innocent person. Many people that argue this overestimate how often this happens, it is an extremely rare occurrence and has not happened since the death penalty was reintroduced in Mistakes will be made in any system which relies upon human testimony for proof. We should be vigilant to uncover and avoid such mistakes. Our system of justice rightfully demands a higher standard for death penalty cases.
Stewart points out that death penalty cases are held to a much higher standard. Due process in these cases takes much longer so that the court can be absolutely sure that the person is guilty before sentencing him to execution. This helps to eliminate any errors that could lead to executing the wrong person. He also points out that although there is a small possibility for mistakes to be made, this does not mean capital punishment should be abolished.
If everything that had the potential for harmful mistakes were outlawed, society would be extremely crippled. It is true that there is disproportionality when it comes to the races and classes that most frequently receive the death penalty.
It has been proven that minorities and those with lower income levels are overrepresented on death row. This is not due to discrimination; this is due to the higher rate at which these groups commit crime ProCon. It has been argued that poverty breeds criminality; if this is true then it makes sense that those at a lower income level would more frequently be sentenced to execution than those at higher income levels ProCon.
It has also been proven that minorities are disproportionately poor, and therefore they would also be more likely to receive the death penalty. Ernest van den Haag said it best:. The only relevant question is: Whether or not others deserved the same punishment, whatever the economic or racial group, have avoided execution is irrelevant. It does not matter what race or economic status a person is, if he is guilty he must receive the appropriate punishment, which in some cases may be the death penalty.
Capital punishment can be a difficult topic to approach because people tend to have extreme views on it. The death penalty is an asset to society; it deters potential criminals as well as serves retribution to criminals, and is in no way immoral.
The title is Arguments against the Death Penalty yet the author spent the whole time counterclaiming any arguments brought up rather than explaining the logistics behind the arguments. No side was taken in this essay however the title clearly states that the essay should be on arguments against.
(Religious Organizing Against the Death Penalty Website) The main argument that advocates for the death penalty have is that the death penalty deters crime, that the threat of execution is enough to make criminals think twice about committing a capital crime. /5(10).

Against The Death Penalty Essay Words | 4 Pages. Against the Death Penalty "Murder is wrong" ("Capital Punishment"). We've been taught this indisputable truth since childhood. The death penalty is defined as one human taking the life of another. Coincidentally, that is a classification of murder.

In the sweat and heat of Nikolskaya Street, men hug and pose for photographs with smiling women amused by their coloured wigs and horned Viking helmets.
The strip of bars and shops a few hundred yards from the Kremlin is a feast of beer and mirth for football fans visiting Moscow for the World Cup.
It is also where Mariana Zacarias was sexually harassed while doing her job. Like numerous other female journalists, she has been groped and kissed while covering the tournament.
With more women watching and working in football than ever before, stories like hers have drawn outraged reactions on social media, thrusting the problem of sexism and harassment into the spotlight at the world's biggest sporting event.
A man in a white T-shirt grabbed Zacarias's head in both hands and forced his mouth onto her face as she struggled, microphone in hand, in front of the camera. She published the video online in a report for Mexican sports website Medio Tiempo.
During another broadcast, a passing man slapped her bottom. On a third occasion, another man grabbed hold of her.
"It is unpleasant and offensive and it shouldn't happen," she told AFP.
"We are doing our job and you deserve respect, whether you are a man or a woman."
A string of clips published online, show fans kissing and groping reporters or singing obscene or insulting songs at female fans.
At least two female AFP journalists have been harassed by fans while covering the World Cup. One of them was groped and thrown in the air by fans celebrating a goal.
In Nikolskaya Street on one match night, AFP caught on film the moment a man grabbed and kissed Russian television reporter Yulia Shatilova.
"It has turned into a sort of entertainment, a kind of game, especially with female reporters," she said afterwards.
"It's rather embarrassing what is happening here, especially at night."
Women journalists say they often hear men telling them they know nothing about the beautiful game. But more women appear to be watching and working in football than ever before, bringing the issue of sexism to the fore.
A FIFA survey of television viewing figures across 25 key markets during the 2014 World Cup indicated that nearly 40 per cent of viewers were female.
The London-based network Fare, which campaigns against discrimination in sport, named 44 female broadcasters involved in frontline broadcasting at the World Cup and said there were known to be "many more".
"From the number of women involved in leadership, the storylines of TV advertising, the constant TV close-ups of attractive women in the crowd, to the number of female toilets inside stadiums — the role of women is passive, often as objects of adornment," Fare said in a blog.
But "there is another story to this World Cup. One that sees the spaces for women to make their mark growing," it added.
"For the first time in the history of the tournament the general secretary of FIFA is a woman," Fatma Samoura of Senegal.
She herself called in a tweet this week for women professionals at the tournament to be respected.
Less than a year ago the Harvey Weinstein scandal forced sexual assault out into the open in the film industry and sparked the "Me too" movement to denounce such abuses online.
Though this month's harassment cases have involved fans rather than officials, some are wondering whether this World Cup will be a kind of #MeToo moment for football.
"MeToo is a revolution in which people can speak out to put an end to harassment in all areas," said Zacarias.
"In the case of the World Cup and what happened to me — that is part of the MeToo movement too."
Russian activist Alena Popova launched a petition against fans who were filmed singing sexist chants.
"This is not about 'Me Too'. This is about a more serious campaign for basic rights and personal boundaries for everyone, regardless of gender," she told AFP.
"It is good that an international dialogue about this has started, thanks to the World Cup."
Some fans who travelled to Russia said the online uproar about harassment did not do justice to the friendly atmosphere at the World Cup.
"I don't understand it. I don't feel that (tension) when I go to the stadiums," said Adriana Coelho, 39, visiting from Rio de Janeiro, after posing for photos with Russian families on Moscow's Red Square.
In such a convivial setting, some see the World Cup as an opportunity to change attitudes.
"I have been a football fan all my life," said Fernanda Flores, 31, a publicist from Mexico City, standing in the sunshine on Red Square.
"We know that at the World Cup it is mostly men. But in Mexico, there are more and more women watching football… An event like this is for both sexes."

Indian Advance Pricing Agreement regime moves forward with the signing of 16 APAs by CBDT in March, 2018
What is the issue ?
- The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) entered into 14 Unilateral Advance Pricing Agreements (UAPA) and 2 Bilateral Advance Pricing Agreements (BAPA) during the month of March, 2018.
- The 2 bilateral APAs have been entered into with the United States of America. With the signing of these Agreements, the total number of APAs entered into by the CBDT has gone up to 219.
What are Advance Pricing Agreements ?
- An APA is an agreement between a tax payer and tax authority determining the transfer pricing methodology for pricing the tax payer's international transactions for future years.
- The methodology is to be applied for a certain period of time based on the fulfillment of certain terms and conditions (called critical assumptions).
What are the different types of APAs?
An APA can be unilateral, bilateral, or multilateral.
- Unilateral APA: an APA that involves only the tax payer and the tax authority of the country where the tax payer is located.
- Bilateral APA: an APA that involves the tax payer, associated enterprise (AE) of the tax payer in the foreign country, tax authority of the country where the tax payer is located, and the foreign tax authority.
- Multilateral APA : an APA that involves the tax payer, two or more AEs of the tax payer in different foreign countries, tax authority of the country where the tax payer is located, and the tax authorities of AEs.
When were Advance Pricing Agreements introduced in India ?
- Advance Pricing Agreement (APA) provisions were introduced in the Income-tax Act, 1961 (Act) w.e.f. 1 July 2012. The rules in respect of the APA scheme have been notified by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT)
What are the key benefits of APA?
- Certainty with respect to tax outcome of the tax payer's international transactions, by agreeing in advance the arm's length pricing or pricing methodology (ies) to be applied to the tax payer's international transactions covered by the APA.
- Removal of an audit threat (minimize rigours of audit), and deliverance of a particular tax outcome based on the terms of the agreement
- Substantial reduction of compliance costs over the term of the APA
- For tax authorities, an APA reduces cost of administration and also frees scarce resources.
NIRF India Rankings 2018: IISc Bangalore is still the best
NIRF India Rankings 2018: IISc Bangalore is still the best
What is the issue ?
- The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in Bengaluru was adjudged the overall best institution in the country by the Human Resource Development Ministry's national ranking framework (NIRF).
About NIRF :
- NIRF is the only national ranking framework for the country's higher education institutions.
- The rankings were introduced by the government in 2016. In the first year, NIRF had four categories of educational institutions -- universities, engineering, management and pharmacy.
- Two more categories -- overall and college -- were added the following year.
- This year, another three categories have been included -- medical and dental colleges (single category), law and architecture -- making it a total of nine categories.
- To make the process more transparent, NIRF has outlined its methodology to rank institutions across the country, drawing from a general understanding of the overall recommendations arrived at by a core committee set up by HRD ministry.
Five broad parameters were established:
1. Teaching, Learning and Resources
- This includes student strength including doctoral students; faculty-student ratio with emphasis on permanent faculty; combined metric for faculty with PhD (or equivalent) and experience; and total budget and its utilisation.
2. Research and Professional Practice
- This includes combined metric for publications; combined metric for quality of publications; IPR and patents: filed, published, granted and licensed (IPR); and footprint of projects and professional practice and executive development programs (FPPP).
- To promote R&D in higher education, this parameter was given the highest weightage of 40%
3. Graduation Outcomes
- This comprises combined percentage for placement, higher studies and entrepreneurship (GPHE); metric for university examinations; median salary; metric for graduating students admitted Into top universities; and metric for number of Ph.D. students graduated.
4. Outreach and Inclusivity
- Includes percentage of students from other states/countries (region diversity); percentage of women on campus; economically and socially challenged students; and facilities for physically challenged students.
5. Perception
- Includes peer perception in terms of employers and research investors, academics and competitiveness.
Why are these rankings important ?
- The rankings assume significance as the performance of institutions is linked with the "Institutions of Eminence" scheme, under which 20 institutions both public and private will selected and actively supported to come up in the global rankings.
- Universities in the IoE group are expected to break into the ranks of the world's top 500 universities in 10-15 years and eventually into the top 100.
- The selected universities will enjoy unprecedented administrative and financial autonomy in a wide range of matters, including freedom to admit foreign students up to 30% of admitted students; recruit foreign faculty up to 25% of faculty strength; offer online courses up to 20% of its programmes and enter into academic collaboration with top 500 ranked institutions in the world without permission of the University Grants Commission,
- They will also be free to fix and charge fees from foreign students without restriction; have flexibility of course structure in terms of number of credit hours and years to take a degree. as well as complete flexibility in fixing of curriculum and syllabus, etc.
- The HRD ministry has made is mandatory for public institutions to participate from from next year.
- Apart from government institutions, National Board of Accreditation sources said a large number of private higher education institutions, who were not part of the process earlier, have joined the rankings this year.
