JUSTICE TIMMER authored the opinion of the Court, in which
CHIEF JUSTICE BALES and JUSTICE BRUTINEL joined.
A defendant convicted of felony murder is eligible for the
death penalty only if he himself killed, attempted to kill,
or intended that a killing occur or that lethal force be
used, Enmund v. Florida, 458 U.S. 782, 797 (1982),
or was a major participant in a felony and acted "with
reckless indifference to human life, " Tison v.
Arizona, 481 U.S. 137, 158 (1987). We hold that in
determining if a defendant acted with "reckless
indifference, " the factfinder may consider evidence of
the defendant's diminished capacity.
In 1992, Kevin Artice Miles, along with juvenile accomplices
Levi Jackson and Ray Hernandez, carjacked Patricia Baeuerlen
and drove her to the desert, where Jackson shot and killed
her. The next year, a jury found Miles guilty of first degree
felony murder, kidnapping, and armed robbery. The trial court
sentenced Miles to death. (Arizona juries were not authorized
to impose the death penalty until 2002. See A.R.S.
§§ 13-751, -752.) After conducting an independent
review, this Court affirmed. State v. Miles (Miles
I), 186 Ariz. 10, 12 (1996). In doing so, we found that
Miles was death-eligible under Tison because he was
a major participant in the crimes and had shown a reckless
indifference toward human life. Id. at 16-17. The
trial court denied Miles's subsequent request for
postconviction relief ("PCR").
In 2014, after unsuccessfully pursuing habeas corpus relief
in federal court, see Miles v. Ryan (Miles II), 713
F.3d 477, 479 (9th Cir. 2013), Miles initiated his second PCR
proceeding. He asserted that relief was warranted under
Arizona Rule of Criminal Procedure 32.1(h) because newly
discovered mitigation evidence demonstrated that the
sentencing court would not have imposed the death sentence
had the evidence been known.
Following an evidentiary hearing, the PCR court granted Miles
relief by commuting his death sentence to a life sentence.
The court found that at the time of the murder, Miles
suffered from "neurochemical, neurocognitive, and
neurobehavioral impairments" caused by the combined
effects of cocaine withdrawal syndrome and alcohol related
neurodevelopmental disorder ("ARND"), which
resulted from in utero alcohol exposure. As a result,
although Miles was concededly a major participant in the
crimes, the court found he was ineligible for the death
penalty under Tison because reasonable doubt existed
whether he acted with the requisite reckless mental state.
Alternately, the court ruled that if Miles were
death-eligible under Tison, he would nevertheless be
entitled to "a resentencing to allow the factfinder to
re-weigh the aggravating and mitigating factors" because
he sufficiently demonstrated that the sentencing court would
not have imposed the death penalty had it known of
Miles's mental-health deficiencies.
We granted review of two issues raised by the State, both of
which are matters of statewide importance: (1) Did the PCR
court err by admitting diminished-capacity and
voluntary-intoxication evidence in the Tison
inquiry? (2) Can newly proffered mitigation ever constitute
clear and convincing evidence under Rule 32.1(h) that a
sentencer would not have imposed the death penalty? We have
jurisdiction pursuant to article 6, section 5(3), of the
Arizona Constitution and A.R.S. §
We review a court's ruling on a PCR petition for an abuse
of discretion. State v. Pandeli, 242 Ariz. 175, 180
¶ 4 (2017). But an abuse of discretion occurs if the
court makes an error of law, and we review legal conclusions
de novo. Id.
Rule 32.1(h)
When Miles filed the PCR petition in 2014, Rule 32.1(h)
(2000) authorized relief if "[t]he defendant
demonstrates by clear and convincing evidence that the facts
underlying the claim would be sufficient to establish that no
reasonable fact-finder would have found defendant guilty of
the underlying offense beyond a reasonable doubt, or that the
court would not have imposed the death
penalty."[2] Because Miles challenged only the
imposition of the death penalty and not his murder
conviction, he was required to prove that "the court
would not have imposed the death penalty." Ariz. R.
Crim. P. 32.1(h) (2000). "The court" necessarily
refers to the sentencing court as it "imposed the death
The State urges us to narrowly construe Rule 32.1(h)
consistent with the "actual innocence" exception to
barring successive, abusive, or defaulted federal habeas
claims. See Sawyer v. Whitley, 505 U.S. 333, 335-36
(1992). Under that exception, relief is permitted only when a
defendant shows by clear and convincing evidence that no
reasonable factfinder would have found him eligible
for the death penalty. Id. at 336. Miles and amicus
Arizona Capital Representation Project assert that Rule
32.1(h) is more expansive, also authorizing relief if the
defendant shows by clear and convincing evidence that he is
not deserving of the death penalty in light of newly
developed mitigation evidence.
We need not resolve this interpretation dispute. As explained
hereafter, we affirm the PCR court's ruling that Miles is
ineligible for the death penalty under Tison and
therefore do not address the court's alternate basis for
its ruling. Even under the State's narrow reading of Rule
32.1(h), a defendant can be granted relief under Rule 32.1(h)
for a Tison error.
In his concurrence, Justice Pelander describes the version of
Rule 32.1(h) in effect in 2014 as "perplexing" as
it required the PCR court to speculate about how the
sentencing judge, now deceased, would have sentenced Miles
had the judge known of the new mitigation evidence. See
infra ¶¶ 29-30. But Rule 32.1(h) does not
refer to the sentencing judge (or since 2002, a jury), and
construing the rule as imposing a subjective standard would
require a PCR court to speculate about a particular
sentencer's ruling - an unmanageable, if not impossible,
standard. The better reading is that Rule 32.1(h)'s
reference to "the court" means a reasonable
sentencer, whether a judge or a jury.
Admissibility of evidence in Tison inquiry
The State argues that Miles did not satisfy his Rule 32.1(h)
burden because evidence he suffered from cocaine withdrawal
syndrome and ARND was inadmissible to refute the mental state
required for a Tison death-eligibility finding.
Contrary to Miles's assertion, the State adequately
preserved this issue.
The Eighth Amendment prohibits "all punishments which by
their excessive length or severity are greatly
disproportioned to the offenses charged."
Tison, 481 U.S. at 148 (internal citation and
quotation marks omitted). Before a defendant convicted of
first degree felony murder can be sentenced to death, an
Enmund/Tison finding must be made to ensure that
this sentence is proportionate to the defendant's
"personal responsibility and moral guilt."
Enmund, 458 U.S. at 801; see also Tison,
481 U.S. at 149. The Enmund/Tison inquiry does not
concern the guilt or innocence of the defendant but acts as
an Eighth Amendment sentencing restraint. See State v.

idropboys.com shirts are here!!!! Picked them up on Friday and I love them. Logo is great and the shirt is comfortable, high quality. So excited. Trying to get my website set up to sell them but am really thinking this first batch will go to friend etc, sell them out of my car, the way people used to start businesses.
Now the whole idea of where to I store them...organize, shipping. Well thankfully I did major office overhaul and can make room for a lot of them. I am just going to have to be flexible and wing it and grow the space as I grow the business.
UCSD Pool is closed indefinitely and that is really disappointing. I like UCSD, Coach Sickie, my 7:30 workout ......So I am still roaming around for workouts. Swam at Scripps yesterday- 6:30 is just early, I know stop whining, some swim at 5:30 and then go to real work. Had a great workout, pushed it hard, and the pool was warm. Too warm. But instead of getting cranky I kept thinking, good Kona training. The ocean is warm, this is heat acclimation. Hopped on my bike for a nice spin and called it a day!
So hard to stay focused on work these days...my mind is drifting to Kona. But ah, I have a lot to get done and need to stay on track.

Karen's Kolumn is written by Karen Dolley, R.N. and Grange Friend… we appreciate her knowledge and her willingness to share!
It is that time again when people begin to think about heating their homes. Many of us have already turned on our furnaces or started our wood stoves to "take the chill off" in the early mornings or in the evenings. Most people do not think about carbon monoxide or carbon monoxide poisoning when they begin to plan for a new heating season.
Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas created when fuels like gas, wood, coal, oil, and propane burn incompletely. The fumes can build up in enclosed places like homes and can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon monoxide poisoning claims more than four hundred lives every year and sends twenty thousand people to emergency rooms each year. The most common signs of carbon monoxide poisoning are headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea and vomiting, chest pain, and confusion. A person can be poisoned by a small amount of carbon monoxide over a longer period of time or by a large amount of carbon monoxide over a shorter period of time. High levels of carbon monoxide inhalation can cause loss of consciousness and death. People who may be sleeping or who are intoxicated can die before they even experience any symptoms at all. Never use gas generators, charcoal grills, or fuel burning camping heaters and stoves inside homes or in other enclosed places like garages during power outages. If appliances that burn fuel are maintained and used properly, the amount of carbon monoxide produced is usually not dangerous. When appliances are used incorrectly, installed incorrectly, or are not working properly, dangerous levels of carbon monoxide can result.
All heating systems including chimneys and vents should be inspected and serviced every year. Burn charcoal outside only. Do not use gas appliances like stoves, ranges, or clothes dryers to heat your home. Never keep a car running in a garage, even with the door open. Always use generators outdoors away from doors, windows, and vents. Do not use generators in basements or crawl spaces. Install carbon monoxide alarms in the hallway of your home near sleeping areas and test the alarms every month. Don't sleep in a room with an unvented gas or kerosene heater. Know the signs and symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning. If you experience any signs or symptoms you think might be from carbon monoxide poisoning, get fresh air immediately, open doors and windows, leave the house, go to the emergency room or call 911 and tell the doctor or health care provider that you think your symptoms may be from carbon monoxide poisoning. Don't ignore the symptoms! Plan ahead now for a safe heating season.

I honestly thought I had a good chance at that game despite Aaron Rodgers being on the bye. And then Michael Vick scored 46 points! Going into week 11, my kicker has already been outscored by the Blackmouth kicker 13-0. My only goal left is to finish in the top three in points scored while remaining on the bottom of the league standings. In other news, watch out for a raging bear market; the Grizzlies appear to be making their move.

- Description
- Abstract: The use of Unmanned Arial Vehicle (UAV) photogrammetry is a valuable tool to enhance our understanding of wetlands. Accurate planning derived from this technological advancement allows for more effective management and conservation of wetland areas. This paper presents results of a study that aimed at investigating the use of UAV photogrammetry as a tool to enhance the assessment of wetland ecosystems. The UAV images were collected during a single flight within 2½ hours over a 100 ha area at the Kameelzynkraal farm, Gauteng Province, South Africa. An AKS Y-6 MKII multi-rotor UAV and a digital camera on a motion compensated gimbal mount were utilised for the survey. Twenty ground control points (GCPs) were surveyed using a Trimble GPS to achieve geometrical precision and georeferencing accuracy. Structure-from-Motion (SfM) computer vision techniques were used to derive ultra-high resolution point clouds, orthophotos and 3D models from the multi-view photos. The geometric accuracy of the data based on the 20 GCP's were 0.018 m for the overall, 0.0025 m for the vertical root mean squared error (RMSE) and an over all root mean square reprojection error of 0.18 pixel. The UAV products were then edited and subsequently analysed, interpreted and key attributes extracted using a selection of tools/ software applications to enhance the wetland assessment. The results exceeded our expectations and provided a valuable and accurate enhancement to the wetland delineation, classification and health assessment which even with detailed field studies would have been difficult to achieve.

The five smartest buildings in the world09/10/2019
Siemens Middle East Headquarters (Masdar City) saves 63% of energy consumption compared to a standard office building in Abu Dhabi. Credit: Paul McMullen Siemens.
ISABEL RUBIO ARROYO | Tungsteno
To earn the title of being "smart", the buildings chosen to appear on this list all have one thing in common: a central nervous system made up of a network of numerous sensors distributed throughout the structure, which serve to monitor a wide range of variables, from carbon dioxide levels, light, temperature, motion and even which parking spots are free or occupied.
This trend in the real estate sector, with an estimated annual growth of 78.8% between 2015 and 2020, is what has provided "intelligence" to buildings, allowing the automated management of everything from energy consumption to safety, and achieving greater efficiency. Here we review the smartest buildings in the world, so far.
The Edge (Amsterdam)
Deloitte's building in Amsterdam, called The Edge, knows where each worker lives. It also knows what car they drive and who they will meet with each day. The workers have a smartphone app that keeps them connected from the moment they wake up, and has all the information about their schedule. The building, which has around 28,000 sensors, also recognises their cars when they arrive and directs them to a specific parking space.
Inside, workers have no assigned desks. Workspaces, meeting rooms and concentration rooms are distributed according to employees' schedules. In addition, the app knows the employees' preferences in terms of light and temperature and adjusts them to their taste.
It has therefore been named by the technology portal Bloomberg as the smartest building in the world. It is also self-managed with electricity from its own solar panels and is one of the world's greenest buildings according to the international sustainable building certificate BREEAM.
The Edge, the smartest building in the world according to Bloomberg, is also 100% sustainable and adapts its conditions to the needs of users. Credit: PLP Architecture.
The Crystal (London)
The Crystal is home to the world's largest permanent exhibition on the future of cities. Considered one of the most sustainable smart buildings on the planet, it emits 70% less carbon dioxide than other offices of its kind. What's more, it operates with electricity generated by its own photovoltaic solar panels and has lights that turn on and off depending on the amount of sunlight that enters.
The building, designed by Wilkinson Eyre Architects, also takes advantage of the rain. The roof has a system that collects rainwater and treats it for later use. In this way, 100% of the water used for toilets and irrigation systems is recycled. All these advances have allowed The Crystal to receive different sustainable construction certificates such as LEED Platinum and BREEAM Outstanding.
Siemens Middle East Headquarters (Masdar City)
Masdar City (United Arab Emirates) aims to be the world's first sustainable and self-sufficient city. This site in the Abu Dhabi desert is home to one of the smartest buildings on the planet: the headquarters of Siemens. The building achieves 63% savings in energy consumption and 52% savings in water consumption compared to a standard office building.
Its design is somewhat special. It was conceived as a box within a box. The internal part has an airtight façade designed to reduce thermal conductivity. On the outside, it has an aluminium cladding that minimises the effects of the sun and a system of slats that rise and fall to adapt to the position of the sun.

Glumac (Shanghai)
The office of the engineering company Glumac in Shanghai has an air monitoring system in the building based on levels of oxygen, volatile organic compounds, moisture and particles. In this way, employees can check the air quality on their smartphones at any time.
While there are often high levels of pollution outside the building, these offices have five air purification systems and a wall full of plants to absorb pollutants. It was the first building to apply for the Living Building Challenge certification in Asia and is now considered one of the most sustainable office spaces on the continent.
Bullit Center (Seattle, Washington)
The Bullitt Center was built on behalf of the Bullitt Foundation, dedicated to promoting sustainability in the United States. Today, this six-story, 50,000-square-metre office building is one of the most sustainable in the world. It was designed to have a lifespan of at least 250 years and was built using more than 350 materials that are not harmful to the health or the environment.
It is self-sufficient in terms of energy, which is why it has received the Living Building certification. It obtains the energy it needs from the 575 solar panels installed on its roof, and its design is such that employees can benefit from sunlight during 92% of working hours. It also has large windows that open and close automatically depending on the weather. While the bathrooms operate with a composting system, the building stores and supplies rainwater thanks to a 210,000-litre tank located in the basement.

Well talking about gaming, it says Sony has no match in gaming and their equipment's. It's clearly a winner over this console generation. The company announced that the PlayStation 4 had sold more than 86 million units in its lifetime. That has beaten the PlayStation 3 and far outpacing Microsoft's Xbox One. For the last five years or more, the PS4 has been home to some of the best games ever made, and PlayStation 4 Games becomes the craze for the games lovers.
Well if you have just unwrapped your first PS4 ever, it couldn't be a better time to start building out you own PlayStation 4 games. As Sony gears up to release its next-generation device sometime in the next few years, so, it's time to upgrade yourself with the best games.
The top in the list for PlayStation 4 games is none other than FromSoftware's masterpiece Bloodborne. The game is a more stylish and gothic horror-themed take on the game studio's legendary Dark Souls titles. And that artistic statement and it's much more friendly design ended up making Bloodborne an instant standard.
Well, the Rockstar Games has a reputation for making the most expansive and boundary-pushing open-world games in the industry. That is also a case for Red Dead Redemption 2, which took that approach to new extremes. A sequel to the Western open-world classic that defined the studio's post-GTA IV era, RDR2 is a complex game that can be as beautiful as it is frustrating.
Simple actions can be a task, the user interface is a mess, and combat and movement often feel like that of a clunky title from a past console generation. But the game's absurdly refined realism, painstakingly crafted environments, and with excellent story.
The Guerilla Games' Horizon Zero Dawn did the seemingly impossible: it created an entirely new world. That is not based on any former piece of entertainment. They created the game with a strong and uncompromised female character. And that character is the best and most imaginative video game stories in years. The game has Frozen Wilds expansion, is set in the far future, where humanity has gone back to ancient world, and technology-less society.
This game comes from the famous designer Fumito Ueda's 2005 masterpiece Shadow of the Colossus. The 4K / HDR remake of the game, which came out earlier this year, has done many changes. It has reconstructed its visuals from the ground up, giving fresh life into the haunting ancient landscape and the massive colossi boss battles you engage in. The game is about a mysterious, symbolic tale of a young man's quest to revive a loved one by setting out to murder giant beasts that were present at that time.

Sweep nets 14 people behind a multi-million dollar operation
The Rockland County District Attorney Thomas P. Zugibe announced the arrest of 14 people Wednesday on charges of unlawfully operating a sports betting enterprise that stretched from Rockland County to New York City and from Bergen County, New Jersey to Palm Beach Florida.
Zugibe said the ring is estimated to have taken millions of dollars in wagers a month over a 16-month period on a wide variety of sporting events that included basketball, hockey, baseball, college basketball and professional football.
"Such unlawfully earned profits are commonly diverted to more insidious criminal enterprises. In fact, the investigation uncovered evidence that the enterprise had links to organized crime," he said.
The investigation, which was led by the District Attorney's Organised Crime Unit, involved numerous State Police Investigative Units, the department of Homeland Security and the FBI.
The defendants were arraigned before Clarkstown Town Justice Rolf Thorsen under charges of Promoting Gambling, Possession of Gambling Records, Money Laundering and other offences but were released on their own recognizance.
The investigation is ongoing and further arrests are expected.

Law is truth upon judgment; I stand to judge Doris by her actions. The bottom line, a crime was committed. She, instead of serving time, thought of herself to be above the law. Was her punishment fair concerning the crime committed, that I disagree with. In respect, her convictions were not necessarily warranted.
Society as a whole views the common criminal such in the way of impertinence. Bias judgments of others unwise decisions is but only ignorance. I don't think it to be fair when one is punished as if the crime committed is of more seriousness than so. In the case of Mrs. Doris Drugdealer, when first convicted, her punishment was not equal to that of her crime.
Doris should be held accountable for her actions, yet to send her back to prison seems unrealistic. At the time of the crime, one aspect of prison was inmate rehabilitation, why then should Doris not be given such consideration due to the life she lived after her departure; despite her wrong doings in her escape. That doesn't go to say she shouldn't have consequences, Doris should be fined as well as continue in her service to the community.
Personally, I value human nature. The mistakes we make are to teach, to live better lives; it is what we do with ourselves that grant us the right to live in society. Although Doris made a mistake, she pardons her own guilt by giving back what she could. It is human nature to undo what you did to yourself. I have made plenty of mistakes and I have regrets, it is the nature of reality in being human. However, it is my mistakes that brought me truth and understanding I would not otherwise have gained. To say regret is misleading, it is not of regret but of being uneducated.
My thinking is obsessive, inductive mostly. Much like Sherlock Holmes, I asses each aspect of a problem until a conclusion conjured best demonstrates the actions in question; although, to actually conjure a conclusion would be miraculous. Whether to deem a claim to...

This course covers the deduction of input tax by businesses. It begins by dealing with the basic requirements for a business to obtain a deduction of input tax. It then looks at the key question of whether the business seeking to deduct input tax shown on an invoice did receive the supply, and considers a number of important recent cases on this point. The special rules which apply to deduction of input tax on cars and fuel used for business purposes are covered next, leading on to a review of the impact of VAT on employee expense claims. Finally, the issues which arise when input tax deductions are claimed by businesses which make exempt as well as taxable supplies are dealt with.

Fish Prints at Prairie Park Science Discovery Day
In April, MACRO members Mike Thai, Rachel Bowes, and Emily Arsenault participated in Prairie Park Elementary School's Science Discovery Day in Lawrence, Kansas. They introduced children to fish and reptile biology using Gyotaku, a traditional Japanese method of printing fish onto paper or canvas to create a record of catches. Participants used preserved specimens from the University of Kansas Biodiversity Institute to make colorful prints, using water-based paints, of both local and exotic fishes and reptiles. As they created, they learned about the ecological roles of their chosen fish or reptile specimens and engaged in discussions about why certain colors and patterns might be found in nature.

|Sun, 08 Nov 2009 01:38:32 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EMAIL-89?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ] Kevin Lester updated EMAIL-89: ------------------------------ Attachment: issue-89_patch.txt This patch contains the following changes: 1). New "fileSize" property added to EmailAttachment 2). New "getAttachments" method added to the MultiPartEmail class. 3). New "removeAttachment" method added to the MultiPartEmail class. 4). Fixed spelling mistake in BaseEmailTestCase 5). 4 new UnitTests added to test the new functionality Note that this patch also incorporates the patch for bug 91 Summary: This patch updates the MultiPartEmail class to now track the EmailAttachment objects that are attached to the email. In the "attach" method, the class now fills in the EmailAttachment's "fileSize" attribute, and puts a reference to the object in a LinkedHashMap. The key of the LinkedHashMap is set to the EmailAttachment, and the value is set to the corresponding BodyPart object. This allows the class to now return the list of original EmailAttachment objects, as well as remove them and their corresponding BodyPart object when the "removeAttachment" method is called. The FileSize of an attachment is done in 1 of three ways: 1). If the attachment has its 'path' set, then the fileSize is set to the File(path).length(). 2). If the attachment has its 'url' set, then the fileSize is set to the url.openConnection().getContentLenth(). 3). If the 'attach' method is called with only a dataSource, then the fileSize is NOT set, and is left at the default value of -1. This is because there doesn't appear to be a safe way to get the size without affecting the dataSource. With this patch, users can now get the fileSize of attachments and remove them in a manner like the following: for (Iterator iter = email.getAttachments().iterator(); iter.hasNext();){ EmailAttachment attachment = (EmailAttachment) iter.next(); System.out.println("Attachment size = " + attachment.getFileSize() + " bytes."); if (attachment.getFileSize() > MAX_SIZE){ email.removeAttachment(attachment); } } This patch was created against the latest code in svn, and new unit tests were added to the MultiPartEmailTest.java for the new funcitonality. All tests pass. > email attachment size > --------------------- > > Key: EMAIL-89 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EMAIL-89 > Project: Commons Email > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: yaramala > Priority: Minor > Attachments: issue-89_patch.txt > > > Please add method to determine the size of attachment attached to email so that we can limit the attachments while sending via email -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

This Global Life
Quick link: A Day in the Life…Djibouti
Why is there a cooler and a hair dryer next to the fridge? You'll have to click through to see. Why is there a mess of tangled cords? Because we have three different types of appliance plug-ins and none of the cords reach the outlet (yes, outlet singular for the entire kitchen) so we are constantly plugging and unplugging. Its awesome.
Today I'm sharing a glimpse into a 'normal' day here in Djibouti with readers at Taking Route.
I highly doubt there is any such thing as normal, but you can see what our house looks like, the men who pass me on my morning runs, and what happened to three rats in our roof.
You'll definitely want to see the pictures.
Head on over to Taking Route to see what one particular day looked like for us.


text:
Czech President Vaclav Klaus is due to spend two nights as a guest in the Hotel Ruze in order to lend moral support to its owner, who has come under fire for erecting a bust of former Czechoslovak president Edvard Benes in the hotel courtyard. Benes, who was president before and after the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia during World War II, issued a set of decrees that led to the post-war expulsion of up to three million ethnic Germans, also known as Sudeten Germans. Cesky Krumlov, a town in southern Bohemia, is a popular destination for tourists from nearby Austria and Germany, some of whom have taken offence to a quote by Benes inscribed below the bust, which reads: "the guilty will be purifying themselves before themselves and before the world of what they have done these years." President Klaus will in Cesky Krumlov for the opening ceremony of the town's International Music Festival, which begins Friday and continues until August 28.
The outgoing Prime Minister Vladimir Spidla visited the multi-national KFOR unit in Kosovo on Thursday. Mr Spidla was accompanied by Defence Minister Miroslav Kostelka. During the one-day visit to the Serbian province, they honoured members of the 500 member Czech-Slovak peace-keeping unit with medals, and passed on an ambulance provided by the Czech humanitarian organisation Stonozka to the village of Babin Most, where some 900 Serbians and 320 Albanians have been living together peacefully.
Czech President Vaclav Klaus says the current government crisis can be blamed on the electoral system and problematic conditions for early elections. In an article for Thursday's edition of the popular daily Mlada Fronta Dnes, Mr Klaus wrote that the electoral system was dysfunctional and added the political crisis would continue if the system is not changed. He also urged the country's leading political parties on Thursday to form a new government capable of pushing through much needed reforms. "The public expects change from the government, not just a change of faces, it has to be a change of programme, maybe even the style of governing," Klaus wrote in daily Mlada Fronta Dnes. The government led by Social Democrat Prime Minister Vladimir Spidla resigned last month.
President Klaus has criticized the Czech health minister Josef Kubinyi for banning the use of caged beds in all health institutions in the Czech Republic without consulting doctors and experts on the matter. Minister Kubinyi issued the order following criticism in the British media and a protest letter from J.K. Rowling, author of the famous Harry Potter books. President Klaus, who has invited medical experts to Prague Castle to inform him about the situation, said that the issue was not something that "could be solved out of context, by a populist gesture". Mr. Kubinyi was called on to explain his decision on Wednesday morning and he assured the head of state that he had not meant to ignore or dismiss the views of Czech specialists in the field. Many Czech psychiatrists maintain that caged or netter beds are less cruel and traumatising to a patient that forced application of drugs or being strapped to a bed.
The outgoing government on Wednesday failed to reach agreement on next year's state budget. The finance ministry proposed a deficit of 94 billion crowns but the demands made by individual ministries were 14 billion crowns higher. Finance Minister Bohuslav Sobotka said his proposal met with strong protests from all sides but he argued that a deficit 94 billion was the absolute limit. The ceiling is not set by the finance ministry - it is the result of a coalition agreement, Sobotka told the CTK press agency. The Cabinet is to meet again next week to try to reach agreement on the 2005 budget. Although the Czech Republic may have a new government by September, the three party coalition agreement on next year's budget deficit should remain valid.
The Czech health ministry has ordered all health institutions in the country to stop using caged beds immediately. The Czech Republic was severely criticized for the practice by human rights organizations and the campaign to get these beds banned was recently joined by J.K. Rowling, author of the famous Harry Potter books. The health ministry said that beds with iron railings should go immediately, those with netting should be replaced by the end of the year.
A fake explosive devise found on a train travelling from the Czech Republic to Germany on Tuesday resulted in a three hour delay. The train was stopped at Rokycany train station and was completely evacuated along with the residents of ten nearby houses as bomb disposal experts went to work. They allegedly found a good imitation of an explosive device. Police are investigating the incident.
Customs officials in Ceske Budejovice have confiscated two million crowns worth of smuggled cigarettes. The smuggled goods were found after officials searched a lorry that was supposed to be carrying fibreglass insulation. The cigarettes were probably meant for the illegal market in the south Bohemia border areas. The state would have lost one million crowns in taxes through their sale and the perpetrators now face up to eight years in prison.
The new Czech government could seek a vote of confidence from the Lower House in mid-August, according to the acting head of the Social Democratic party Stanislav Gross. Mr. Gross met with the leaders of the other two parties of the emerging government coalition on Tuesday to discuss the situation within three parties, their respective views on personnel and policy programme matters and a timeframe for the formation of the new government. Mr. Gross has said he expects all deputies of the three parties to sign a commitment in writing pledging support for the new government, which would have a slim one-vote majority in Parliament. Some deputies have said that they want to know more about the future government's policy programme and who will be in the Cabinet before making such a commitment.

Over the summer break of 2014 I headed to Phnom Penh for a three month internship at the Extraordinary Chambers of the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC). This special Cambodian Court, with the assistance of the United Nations, has been charged with ascertaining the truth behind the alleged crimes committed during the Khmer Rouge regime.
When applying, I decided to put the Defence Support Section as my first preference and I was fortunate enough to be accepted. There were two principal reasons why I wanted to work for the Defence. From a legal point of view, I have always been interested in defence and fair trial rights. Additionally, on a more personal level, I wanted to challenge myself to separate any preconceived notions I may have had about the regime and really focus on the work and the client. We are told at law school that this skill is fundamental and necessary in the legal profession and I knew that the ECCC, with its confronting subject matter, would pose a real challenge.
Within the Defence Support Section, I was fortunate enough to work on Case 002, which was at the trial stage by the time I arrived in Cambodia. I was on the defence team for Nuon Chea (otherwise known as Brother Number Two) who is on trial for genocide, crimes against humanity, grave breaches of the 1949 Geneva Conventions and violations of the 1956 Cambodian Penal Code.
I was one of two interns in a team of 9 national and international staff. My duties were primarily focused on trial preparation. This involved both research and evidentiary analysis. It also meant I was in the Chambers at least two days a week, monitoring and analysing the trial. I truly loved this work, and found that I learned the most inside the courtroom where you see the preparation applied in practice..
In terms of working in the field of international criminal law, my internship made me appreciate some of its challenges.. First, and most importantly, you need to be passionate about the work. I know this may seem trite, but this zeal is absolutely essential as the hours can be intense, the bureaucracy can be tedious and the lifestyle transient.
Secondly, and this feeds off my first point, you need to be a fairly independent person. In a workplace that relies heavily on interns, there is a high turnover of both work and workmates. This is not an exclusive feature of international criminal law, but is something you must be prepared for. Whilst you do become well versed in farewell speeches, you will also have the amazing opportunity to meet people from all walks of life. I left Cambodia with some lifelong friends.
Finally, and again this may seem obvious, but a grasp of another language aside from English never hurts. At the ECCC there were three official languages (English, French and Khmer). Whilst the Interpretation Unit translated the proceedings, and most evidence was also translated, I found that it was really helpful to understand French. It allowed me to analyse translations, communicate with others in the court and access evidence that had yet to be translated.
My three months in Cambodia were invaluable. I learned a great deal, made some great friends and was privileged to get the opportunity to work with and learn from some very talented and generous colleagues. I would highly recommend such an experience to anyone who has an interest in human rights or international criminal law.

Leisure Village 2008 Roadway Improvements
Lakewood Township
Ocean County, New Jersey
As the engineering consultant for Leisure Village Association, the board of directors requested us to assist in providing services in order to prepare a proposed design of infrastructure improvements in order to rehabilitate portions of their community. The initial effort was to provide a roadway study of the entire community 20 +/- miles of roadway, in order to determine the proper sequencing in order to best fit the Association's needs as well as monetary limitations. Once the study was completed by our company and presented to the Board, we then proceeded with providing evaluations as to the sequencing of roadways which resulted in the Board approving the limits for the 2008 Roadway Improvement program. At this point, our firm was engaged to provide Construction Documents and Specifications for the Roadway Improvements as well as securing the required permits from various agencies with jurisdiction to same. This project was handled in accordance with formats contained in public bidding laws in order to maximize the return for the community relative to their proposed improvements. Our firm also assisted in the bidding process as well as providing Construction Administration Services which resulted in a savings of over $100,000.00 to the Leisure Village Association upon completion of the project.

With a perfect concoction of romance, suspense and thriller, Shekhar Suman's Heartless is an absolute winner. When most Bollywood movies are going gaga about rowdy police officers, super-toned heroes and item numbers, Heartless gives the audience a heart-touching story of a mother-son relationship.
Why is Heartless, 'heartwarming' ?
Heartless tells the story of terminally-ill Aditya Singh (played by Adhyayan Suman) son of a successful business tycoon, Gayatri Singh (played Deepti Naval). Inspired from the Hollywood movie – Awake, it won't be justifiable if Heartless is tagged as a copy of the Hollywood counterpart. Heartless has its own unique elements of romance, suspense and thriller. However, what made the movie special is the well-done portrayal of the mother-son relationship. Most of the movies are about the hero falling in love with his dreamgirl, a little bit of song and dance and then happily ever after. Even though Heartless is a romantic movie of sorts, the focus was on the complex yet warm relationship of a son with his mother. Their unspoken yet tender moments are brilliantly captured in the movie.
Deepti Naval is simply effulgent. Her character sketch as the single-mother is beautifully done. However, during certain scenes, it did get a little sappy. Bollywood, it is! Adhyayan Suman is the star in the movie. After a 'sabbatical', Adhyayan Suman is back on the big screen. Adhyayan Suman as Aditya Singh was pretty intense and in some places overly-dramatic. In a particular scene, Adhyayan was smashing champagne glasses (in the hotel lobby) just because his lady love was ignoring him. Now this is utterly ridiculous. Heartless also saw the real-life father-son duo sharing the screen. Shekhar Suman aka Sam played the role of Aditya's friend in the film. Newbie Ariana Ayam could have done a better job. In most parts of the film she was seen either posing for a song sequence or being the overly-attached girlfriend.
Why 'Heartless' is heartless?
What went wrong with Heartless is the over-exaggeration of certain issues. You can't help but facepalm when you see a bunch of doctors in the OT playing with a heart, literally. Heartless kickstarts quite well and right when you are actually enjoying the suspense, the characters starts whining. Blame it on the age-old tradition of being dramatic in Bollywood.
Why watch this film?
Shekhar Suman's directorial debut, 'Heartless' is fresh and unusual. Beautiful cinematography by Darrick Fong and music by Gaurav Dagaonkar makes Heartless a mesmerizing film. Watch it for the nail-biting suspense and Adhyayan Suman's comeback.

Rubina Dilaik has a scar-ry end!
Rubina Dilaik is treating her face as the death sequence leaves a few marks on her face...
A little birdie quips, "Rubina was chalked in make up for the death sequence with all the chemicals so that the wounds on her face would seem real. The actress did not realize that the makeup would make her face itch, leaving scars on her face."
Rubina confirms the incident stating, "Initially it didn't click because the makeup was on but after I removed the makeup, I saw some blemishes on my face and also got a few scratches on my hands during the sequence. But as I am on a leave now, I am relaxing and treating my marks."
Though Radhika would make a re-entry back on the show, when asked about the same Rubina Dilaik asserts, "I have no idea about my entry as of now."
We hope that your scars are healed by the time you are expected to enter the show, Choti Bahu!

Interior Minister of German Chancellor Angela Merkel's coalition, Horst Seehofer, presented Merkel with a controversial ultimatum on Monday, June 18th, to impede Germany's influx of Syrian refugees. CNN states that the new migration policy Seehofer is bringing to the table would allow Germany to deny Syrian asylum seekers entry into Germany under the following conditions: they do not have identification papers, their asylum claim has already been rejected by Germany, or they are already registered for asylum in another European country. If Merkel does not comply with this policy, Seehofer threatens to act unilaterally and start to reject refugees come the first week of July. This ultimatum has certainly catalyzed diplomatic action on Merkel's side, not only because she is determined to avoid the chaos of 2015 and concedes that Germany needs a more controlled immigration system set in place, but also because her lack of conformity to Seehofer's policies could potentially prevent her from getting re-elected, speculates CNN's Atika Shubert. However, as head of the most powerful country in Europe, what are the implications of Merkel's concurrence? Would it simply be a concession to Seehofer and his more conservative Christian Social Union, or more than that — a nod towards the nativist and anti-human rights actions exhibited recently by the Italian and United States governments?
Reactions to Seehofer's migration policy range from doubting its effectivity to considering it an outright violation of human rights. Stefan de Vries, a French journalist featured in a segment of EuroNews' Good Morning Europe, expressed skepticism for whether or not it is really feasible for Europe to implement effective immigration controls without encroaching on the human rights of refugees. Other voices however, are more grounded in their disdain for the ultimatum. According to Shubert, Foreign Minister Heiko Maas has and continues to defend Merkel's open-door immigration policy. The Institute for Human Rights in Berlin claims that a total of 63 of Seehofer's proposals violate Germany's European and human rights obligations. The Geneva Refugee Convention from 1951 revised its definition of "refugee" in 1967 to be more inclusive and nuanced. The Convention guarantees that every single person seeking protection against human rights violations regardless of whether they have identification papers. Additionally, under the principle of "non-refoulement", the Convention established that a refugee cannot be expelled or returned against their will. Germany, a participant in the creation of both of these institutions, would defy core rules of the Institute of Human Rights and the Geneva Refugee Convention if it succumbs to Seehofer's migration policy.
Compliance to Seehofer's ultimatum is dangerous because it can instigate a domino effect throughout the rest of Europe and the Middle East. It would not the be the first country to reject arriving refugees before examining applications for asylum — Italy has claimed that spot. According to Shubert, Prime Minister Guiseppe Conte's government supports the anti-establishment Five Star Movement and encompasses the anti-immigrant League party. During the peak of the refugee crisis, Italy's Coast Guard would rescue around 4,500 migrants in one day, but the new populist government is now going so far now as to turn boats away from ports. Italy is not nearly as influential as Germany and is currently alone in its direct violation of human rights for refugees. Thus, Italy's actions are still predominantly condemned and not as likely to contaminate the policies of other countries. Germany, however, has the power to create a ripple effect if it begins to reject refugees before arrival. As the most powerful country in Europe, Germany's violations of human rights could end up justifying implementation of similar policies throughout the rest of Europe.
Merkel should not agree to Seehofer's migration policies primarily for moral reasons, but also because Germany is benefiting from immigrants economically, according to Stefan Trines from World Education News and Reviews. While the 1.4 million foreigners that have crossed over into Germany have absorbed a tremendous amount of social services and other government resources, those refugees integrating in German society are solving a long-term problem caused by a quickly aging native population. The one percent increase in population the Syrian refugee crisis has caused will provide Germany with the labor market power it will need to fuel its economy in the future. Germany does not want to experience the same crippling decline in population that is plaguing Italy.
The brutal Syrian Civil War is one of the multiple fires sparked by the Arab Spring and Jasmine Revolution in 2011. Syrians, no longer willing to submit to Bashar al-Assad's dictatorship went up in arms to rid their country of suppression. As the inhumanity in Assad's war tactics increased — extending to use of chemical weapons against his own people — Syrians had no choice but to flee their country to whatever country would accept them. Out of the European countries, Germany has been the country to take in the highest number of refugees and integrate them in their society. In 2015, Merkel implemented an open-door policy that, as stated by Tom Barnes from The Independent, suspended the 1990 Dublin Protocol which forced refugees to seek asylum in the first European country they set foot on. The Independent claims that in the first six months Germany registered 44,417 applicants resulting in overcrowded refugee centers and a poor system of distributing resources. Since then, Germany has accepted hundreds of thousands of applicants. While in the past few months numbers have been decreasing, Germany is still struggling to handle the constant flow of asylum seekers. Politicians are stuck between adhering to their morals, efficiently distributing economic resources, and ensuring their citizens that national security is also a priority — especially in the face of ISIS' threatening presence.
Seehofer's ultimatum was a perfect political tactic to inhibit the flow of refugees; Merkel has little choice but to concede if she wants to have some influence in migration policy and subsequently, to survive re-election. However, the migration policy seems to only have Germany in mind. Other European and Middle Eastern countries are left to handle the flood of refugees, and the refugees themselves are left to their own resources — which are non-existent. The ultimatum could potentially be detrimental to Syrians. More and more countries will follow suit and close their borders, and those within closest range of Syria, such as Greece, the Balkan, and Turkey will be more overcrowded than they already are. Seehofer's migration policy is a violation of human rights for refugees and should not be imposed.

September 24, 2020 17:32Advertisement Contact us Vietnamese
VCN- The provision of tax information to citizens by the Tax office will contribute to the transparency of the taxpayer's contribution to the state budget and facilitate the exchange of information.
|Vietnam, China's Macau ink double taxation avoidance pact
|Ministry of Finance requests to clarify information related to offences of Customs and Tax officers
|Revenue of the Tax sector reached 24.5% of the 2018 estimate
|The tax agency is the unit to disclose information on taxes, charges and fees. Picture: Thuy Linh.
According to the principle of tax declaration, taxpayers shall calculate by themselves, declare, pay and take self-responsibility for tax. The Tax office shall conduct the post-audits (inspections and examination) to determine the tax declaration and payment by taxpayers according to regulations. At present, information about taxpayers, fees and charges of taxpayers (payable / already paid) is formed and updated from two main sources: Data reported by self-declaration and self-payment related to tax declarations, tax finalization, financial reports submitted to the Tax office (including updated data by taxpayers according to Law provisions); tax inspections and examination data of the Tax office and competent agencies.
According to the General Department of Taxation, the Law on Access to Information which takes effect from 1 July 2018 regulates that State agencies have the responsibility to provide information by themselves to comply with the provisions of this Law. Accordingly, the Tax authorities shall disclose information on taxes, charges and fees according to post-inspection decisions and notice of tax payment
However, the General Department of Taxation said that the inspection and examination activities were conducted under the risk management method so not all taxpayers were inspected annually. Tax inspections usually take several years, so they do not reflect in time the payable tax by the enterprises in the fiscal year. Thus, disclosure of information about tax obligations of taxpayers created by the tax authorities will not reflect the right tax liability of taxpayers in the fiscal year.
On the other hand, information on the amount of payable tax according to the declaration of taxpayers shall be disclosed in the financial statements in accordance with the Law on Accounting, the Law on Banking and Credit Institutions, and the Law on Securities Business. At the same time, the disclosure of information is also in line with the trend of intensifying and expanding international cooperation on taxation. Vietnam is increasingly involved in international taxation forums and with 77 tax treaties which have been effective, the exchange of information between taxpayers between Vietnam and other countries and international organizations on tax will be implemented frequently in the future.
The General Department of Taxation said that it was necessary to provide tax authorities with tax information for citizens according to both source (taxpayers' source and the tax agency's source). The objective of this policy is to ensure the implementation of the Law on Access to Information and Harmonization in the Code of Laws on Tax Administration and related legislation. At the same time, the publicity and transparency of taxpayers' contributions to the state budget should be strengthened and the cooperation between the countries and territories signed and the exchange of information and tax collection assistance should be facilitated.
At the proposal for the development of the amended Tax Administration Law, the Ministry of Finance proposed adding to the Law on Tax Administration which stipulates that tax offices have the right to publicize and provide information on taxes, charges and fees in accordance with the provisions of this Law.
Accordingly, the provisions on disclosure of information of taxpayers should be improved, especially clarification of information on taxpayers in Article 69 (information on taxpayers), Article 73 (information security of taxpayers), Article 74 (information disclosure of tax law violations). At the same time, Article 6 (rights of taxpayers) shall be amended as follows: "Taxpayers have the right to access their electronic records files on the tax administration electronic information management system".
|Customs and Taxation: Enhance the efficiency of coordination through electronic data exchange
VCN- For the first time, the leaders of 34 provincial and urban Customs Departments and 63 local ...
Specifically, the Ministry of Finance proposed to amend the information confidentiality provisions in Article 73 of the Law on Tax Administration, which stipulates that tax offices have the right to disclose information on payable tax amounts of taxpayers.

Used Titan 2
Sam_Beckett posted a topic in TITAN 2 Series Vinyl Cutter DiscussionsHello, I was offered a used 28" Titan 2 for $500 but my friend knows nothing about it like how old it is, if software comes with it, if any blades are with it, when his uncle bought it or anything. My question for everyone is are there any issues I need to be concerned about or can I plug it in and get it running? Is this a durable machine that normal wear and tear won't affect it's reliability no matter the age? Is the machine easy to fix if there is a problem? Does USCutter still provide phone support for secondhand users? Also, I am a MAC user and plan to design in Illustrator. I have no problem buying new software if needed. I just want to know if I should be worried about a used machine and not knowing it's history. Is $500 even a good price? Sorry for all the questions but any feedback is much appreciated. Thank you

Cutting off the edge
Guest posted a topic in VinylMaster CUT, LTR, PRO & DSRI've just set up my new Titan2 and looked through all of the info I can find (it came from USCutter with 0 paperwork and info so what I know, I found online).

I'm using a PC with VinylMaster and feel like I'm wasting a lot of material with my trial end error approach.

What if we could go back and correct some of the biggest mistakes the Carolina Panthers have made in recent years? What if we could literally hop into the quantum realm or perhaps borrow the time stone from Dr Strange and fix the Carolina Panthers? Have no idea what I am talking about? Well then your entertainment worlds are probably not colliding like mine this weekend. The NFL Draft and Avengers Endgame in the same weekend. It is like nerds and jocks have come together to form a singularity that will suck all of my free time into its unyielding gravitational pull.
Come with me now, and let us fix three recent mistakes that would greatly improve the Carolina Panthers today. (Attempts that cool Dr Strange time stone spell gesture)
Mistake 1 – Drafting Vernon Butler
At the time, selecting defensive tackle Vernon Butler in the first round of the 2016 NFL draft made a lot of sense. KK Short was posturing for a sizable contract extension. A holdout was looming. There was real uncertainty if the once great Carolina Panthers defensive tackle would continue playing for Carolina.
So when Vernon Butler fell to the Carolina Panthers in round 1, it seemed to make sense. Drafting Butler would be insurance just in case KK Short was not around. At the very least, Short would provide an extra body in a heavy rotation along the interior defensive line.
Well, as it turns out, KK Short stayed and Vernon Butler has found himself a healthy scratch on multiple occasions. Meaning, he neither replaces KK Short nor does he provide any help in the rotation. Lose and lose again.
Now excuse me while I gently take the "Vernon Butler" index card given to the NFL Commish on draft night and replace it with one that says "Michael Thomas" instead.
Mistake 2 – Releasing Steve Smith
Here is another mistake the Carolina Panthers have made that I understood at the time. I didn't necessarily agree with it, but I understood it.
Smith was the fiercest competitor that has ever or will ever wear a Carolina Panthers jersey. Sound great, but sometimes a guy like that will rub others the wrong way. Sometimes a guy like that will punch others in the mouth, literally.
There was a feeling within former GM Dave Gentleman's orbit that Smith would no longer provide the production that would compensate for the hurt feelings in the locker room from those Smith did not feel was pulling their own weight. So, they cut Steve Smith and drafted Kelvin Benjamin. Sounds cringe worthy now, doesn't it?
Watch me while I go back in time and reprogram Gettleman's rotary phone to always dial an Arby's.
Mistake 3 – The Josh Norman Debacle
Just before Josh Norman was on his way to sign his franchise player contract, he was released by Dave Gettleman. There are cloudy details surrounding this horrible decision. Some say it was a clash of personalities between Gettleman and Norman's Agent. Others say it was simply Gettleman getting tired of games and playing hardball (poorly).
One thing that is painfully obvious though is that not using the franchise tag on Norman was a giant mistake. Almost the entire NFL draft following was dedicated to the corner position. Rounds 2, 3 and 4 all spent on corners. Of the "three amigos" as they were once known, only James Bradberry has developed into a good player. The other two proved not to be NFL material very quickly. What an awful decision.
Luckily, Gettleman is now ordering a triple roast beef combo with extra Arby's Sauce instead of making what would have been a disaster. You're welcome.
