This year‘s DARPA Robotics Challenge (DRC), held in Pomona, California, last weekend brought together 23 teams from the US, South Korea, Italy, Japan, Germany and China who each had to complete an obstacle course simulating conditions similar to those following the 2011 Fukushima nuclear plant disaster in Japan.
The teams had been developing their robots for more than two years and have tried the challenges before. This time, however, they had to complete all eight natural disaster-related tasks – such as driving a car, walking through rubble, tripping circuit breakers, climbing stairs and turning valves – in just under an hour, whereas before they were given 30 minutes for each.
Among the tasks was the ‘plug challenge’, and for robots it is still much more difficult than it sounds. How this task was completed by the winner Team KAIST robot you can see in the video below:


04.28.2020 Section 83(b) Elections: Limited COVID-19 Relief, but Keep Your Records
Overview. A limited extension, until July 15, 2020, is available for Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) Section 83(b) elections otherwise due on or after April 1, 2020, and before July 15, 2020. It will be especially important for taxpayers making such an election to keep records of the filing and evidence of timely mailing.
Section 83(b) Basics. Section 83 of the Code applies to transfers of property in connection with the performance of services. Typical Code Section 83 transfers include the grant of restricted stock, the issuance of unvested partnership interests and the purchase of an employer equity interest subject to “penalty” repurchase rights on termination of employment. In general, these types of transfers result in taxable compensation income to the service provider at the time that forfeiture (or penalty repurchase) conditions lapse, often referred to as “vesting.” Compensation is measured by the fair market value of the property at vesting, less any price paid for the property. Code Section 83(b) allows a service provider instead to elect to include compensation in income as of the date the property is received (through grant or purchase), based on the fair market value of property at grant or purchase less any price paid.
Election Considerations. A Code Section 83(b) election is sometimes used when it is anticipated that the property will increase in value between acquisition and vesting; when the grant/purchase date value is low; or when the service provider pays full purchase-date value for the property. COVID-19 economic conditions, and any resulting effect on grant/purchaser date value and potential future value, may also be relevant to a Code Section 83(b) election decision.
Section 83(b) Filing Deadline – Normal Course. Code Section 83(b) requires an election thereunder to be made no later than 30 days after the date the property is transferred. This generally means within 30 days of the date of grant or 30 days of the closing of a purchase, whichever is applicable. This 30-day period is a hard deadline absent special relief, such as that discussed below.
Section 83(b) Filing Deadline – COVID-19. Code Section 83(b) elections otherwise due during the period described below have been given an extended deadline for filing. The extension is available by virtue of (i) President Trump’s March 13, 2020, proclamation that the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States constitutes a national emergency; (ii) Notice 2020-23, 2020-18 IRB 732 (April 27, 2020) (the “Notice”); and (iii) Revenue Procedure 2018-58, 2018-50 IRB 990 (December 10, 2018), referenced in the Notice. As a “Specified Time-Sensitive Action” under the Notice, a Code Section 83(b) election otherwise due on or after April 1, 2020, and before July 15, 2020, has a filing deadline of July 15, 2020. This extension therefore applies to property transferred to the taxpayer no earlier than March 2, 2020, and no later than June 14, 2020. Property transfers before or after this period are not eligible for an extension of the normal course filing deadline.
Retaining the Election and Evidence of Mailing. A Code Section 83 (b) election is generally a one- to two-page filing that must contain specified information. It is mailed to the IRS Service Center where the taxpayer normally files his or her federal income tax return. Although taxpayers have not been required to include a copy of the filing as a federal income tax return attachment for several years, record retention is required. A copy of the election must be kept until the period of limitations expires for any return with respect to which the income inclusion or basis of the property is relevant. Records that support cost basis and date of transfer should also be maintained. Given the time restrictions on filing (whether under the normal course deadline or the COVID-19 extension), it is very important to retain evidence of timely mailing, such as a certified U.S. mail receipt or a shipping record from a recognized package and letter delivery service.
For any questions relating to Code Section 83(b) elections, including required content, proper filing location, or the COVID-19 related filing deadline extension, please contact the authors of this Alert.

Bret Michaels is giving fans an update on his health following a scare last week.
The diabetic rocker, who's still recovering after being diagnosed with the flu, dehydration and exhaustion, shared a brief but sweet message and an accompanying photo via his website.
"Apologies for the pale white face," Michaels wrote. "It's the first day I've been able to fly to the kids. There is not enough thanks that I can send to the awesome fans, friends, family and medical staff for their help and well wishes. You all rock!"

In the pic, Michaels' face appears of bit pale but he seems to be back up and running following last week's medical emergency.
During a show in Manchester, N.H., Thursday night, the 51-year-old fell severely ill and was rushed off stage mid-concert to be evaluated by paramedics. After discovering his blood sugar levels were dangerously low, Michaels returned to stage to announce he couldn't finish the show.
The next day, Michaels' Wilkes-Barre, Pa., concert was canceled so he could continue to recover. According to a post on his website from Friday, Michaels was "under strict medical direction" to take it easy "as doctors have ordered him to let the flu virus run its course and let his blood sugar rebalance and remain consistent."
Glad to hear he's feeling a little bit better this week!

On Saturday (Dec. 29) night, former longtime UFC Light Heavyweight champion Jon “Bones” Jones (22-1-1) will make his highly anticipated return to action in the main event of UFC 232 from The Forum in Inglewood, California in a long-awaited rematch against Alexander “The Mauler” Gustafsson (18-4) for the vacant 205-pound title.
Despite being among the greatest fighters of all-time, the 31-year-old Jones has often had issues outside of the cage including legal issues in addition to drug testing issues. The issue that most recently sidelined him was a failed drug test surrounding his July 2017 title fight against Daniel Cormier.
Jones ended up winning the fight via third-round TKO, but it was later revealed that he tested positive for the anabolic steroid turinabol in a pre-fight drug test. The American’s win was then changed to a no-contest and he was suspended by the United States Anti-Doping Agency for 15 months.
And although Jones will indeed be fighting this week, controversy has still seemed to surround him. This week, it was revealed that UFC 232 would be moved from Las Vegas to California because of a drug test sample Jones submitted on Dec. 9.
Though USADA deemed that it was not due to a new ingestion of the substance but that it stemmed from the original failed test in 2017. Per ESPN, the test “showed the presence of the same long-term M3 metabolite for which Jones tested positive in July 2017.” So the show will go on and Jones is cleared to take on his rival once again.
The rematch between Jones and Gustafsson undoubtedly represents one of the very best fights that 2018 has had to offer. The two met for the first time back at UFC 165 in 2013. There, Jones earned the victory but it was arguably the toughest fight of his career and many still consider it to be the best light heavyweight title fight of all-time.
From a physical standpoint, few match up better with Jones than Gustafsson. Standing six foot, five inches and holding a 79-inch reach, the 31-year-old Swede has the ability to combat the height and length of Jones, who stands an inch shorter at six foot, four inches and owns an 85.5-inch reach.
Stylistically, the two also match up quite well. Despite a disqualification loss and a no-contest, Jones has been dominant for the majority of his career, repeatedly outclassing and beating former world champions and the best that his division has had to offer.
On the feet, the Jackson-Wink MMA product is an incredibly creative striker and he uses his length and reach to gauge distance and keep his opponents at bay. Often mixing it up, Jones uses a variety of different strikes and angles to land shots. He also possesses a bit of power as nine of his victories have come by way of T/KO.
In terms of grappling, Jones is a former Junior College All-American wrestler and he’s complemented that with a well-rounded submission attack as six of his victories have come via submission.
Moving onto Gustafsson, The Mauler is known for his tremendous boxing skills. A former amateur boxing champion, Gustafsson moves effortlessly for a man of his size, stringing together combinations with great fluidity which he showed in his first bout against Jones where he was able to bloody up the ex-champion.
On the mat, Gustafsson has drastically improved his wrestling ability over the years, specifically after he lost to Phil Davis in 2010. This betterment was on full display at UFC 165 where he defended almost all of Jones’ takedowns (thwarting 10 of 11 attempts), in addition to becoming the first man to take down Bones.
And while Gustafsson isn’t known primarily for his submission game, he has shown the skills needed to handle himself on the ground, owning three submission victories to his name, all the while only being submitted once.
Looking at how the rematch may play out, Jones has often discussed the fact that he didn’t take Gustafsson nor his training serious the first time around which may have played a role in his performance.
A case of ring rust may cause some concern for anybody rooting for Jones as he hasn’t been too active over the last few years, away from the cage for nearly 17 months now. But it’s also important to remember that Gustafsson has yet to compete in 2018 and fought just once the year before that.
Ultimately, if both men are on their A-games, a tilt as competitive as their first wouldn’t at all be surprising. I do, however, feel as if Jones may simply be too much for Gustafsson to handle and I expect him to outwit and outpoint The Mauler on his way to another decision victory.

The Declaration of Arbroath, 1320
‘It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom
- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.’
Extract from the Declaration of Arbroath, 1320.
The Declaration of Arbroath is without doubt the most famous document in Scottish history. Like the American Declaration of Independence, which is partially based on it, it is seen by many as the founding document of the Scottish nation. It was drafted on the 6th April 1320 - a day the United States of America has declared to be Tartan Day.
The Declaration is a Latin letter which was sent to Pope John XXII in April/May 1320. It was most likely drafted in the scriptorium of Arbroath Abbey by Abbot Bernard on behalf of the nobles and barons of Scotland. It was one of three letters sent to the Pope in Avignon, the other two being from King Robert Bruce himself and from four Scottish bishops, attempting to abate papal hostility. The document received the seals of several Scottish barons and it then was taken to the papal court at Avignon in France by Sir Adam Gordon.
Cunning Diplomatic Letter or Constitutional Document?
There is considerable debate over the Declaration’s significance. For some it is simply a diplomatic document; while others see it as a radical movement in western constitutional thought.
It could be viewed as a cunning diplomatic ploy by the Scottish barons to explain and justify why they were still fighting their neighbours when all Christian princes were supposed to be united in crusade against the Muslims. All this, just at the point when they were about to retake Berwick: Scotland’s most prosperous medieval town. As an explanation, it failed to convince the pope to lift his sentence of excommunication on Scotland.
Others analyse what the Declaration of Arbroath actually says. The Scots clergy had produced not only one of the most eloquent expressions of nationhood, but the first expression of the idea of a contractual monarchy. Here is the critical passage in question:
‘Yet if he (Bruce) should give up what he has begun, and agree to make us or our kingdom subject to the King of England or the English, we should exert ourselves at once to drive him out as our enemy and a subverter of his own rights and ours, and make some other man who was well able to defend us our King; for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.’
Extract from the Declaration of Arbroath
The threat to drive Bruce out if he ever sold Scotland to English rule was a fantastic bluff. There was nobody else to take his place. The point is that the nobles and clergy are not basing their argument to the pope on the traditional notion of the Divine Rights of Kings. Bruce is King first and foremost because the nation chose him, not God, and the nation would just as easily choose another if they were betrayed by the King. The explanation also neatly covers the fact that Bruce had usurped John Balliol’s rightful kingship in the first place.
In spite of all possible motivations for its creation, the Declaration of Arbroath, under the extraordinary circumstances of the Wars of Independence, was a prototype of contractual kingship in Europe.
From JAH – Scottish Declaration of Independence
In Arbroath Abbey, following the removal of the "Stone of Destiny" to Westminster, king Robert "the Bruce" of Scotland was visited by two emissaries of pope John 22 to whom Edward 2 of England had appealed for help to compel Scotland to acknowledge England's lordship. These emissaries bore a message from the pope advising Bruce to submit to Edward's claims, but Bruce and his nobles drafted a letter which they addressed to pope John 22 and which can still be seen in Register House in Edinburgh. It had attached to it coloured ribbons and seals with the signatures of Robert the Bruce and twenty-five of his nobles. The letter which is drafted:- April 6, 1320, read in part:-
"We know Most Holy Father and Lord (blasphemy - Matthew 23:9), and from the chronicles and books of the ancients gather, that among other illustrious nations, our's, to wit, the nation of the Scots, has been distinguished by many honours; which passing from the greater Sythia through the Mediterranean Sea and Pillars of Hercules (Gibraltar) and sojourning in Spain (Iberia - Heberia - the Hebrew's land) among most savage tribes through a long course of time, could nowhere be subjugated by any people however barbarous; and coming thence one thousand two hundred years after the outgoing of the People of Israel (the Exodus), they by many victories and infinite toil, acquired for themselves the possessions in the West which they now hold........In their kingdom one hundred and thirteen kings of their own royal stock, no stranger intervening, have reigned...." (Deuteronomy 17:14-20).
For so long as a hundred of us are left alive we will yield in no least way to English domination. We fight not for glory, nor for wealth nor honour, but only and alone for freedom, which no man surrenders but with his life." (Praiseworthy - Matthew 10:28)
This letter thus asserts that the Scots who had the "Stone of Destiny" ("Lia Fail") were connected with the ancient people of Israel (the ten so-called Lost Tribes); whom archaeology has established became the Scythians and the Cimmerians of history, whose origin had been a mystery. Lost to their true identity as foretold in The Scriptures, (Romans 11:25), the Israelites migrated to their appointed place (2 Samuel 7:10); some crossing Europe by land, others by ships through the Mediterranean to the coast-lands of Europe and the Isles in the West. The Scots claim ancestry to the branch of the Cimmerians (Celts) that dwelt in Spain for a period, and eventually came over to the Islands of Britain. They also claim that their royal line of kings (from Judah/Zarah of the Red hand - Genesis 38:30) has remained unbroken throughout their migrations.
Romans 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness (as to their true identity) is happened to part of Israel (the ten "lost" tribes - the House of Israel), until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
2 Samuel 7:10 Moreover I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime.
Josephus, the historian, writing in A.D. 70, seems to have had knowledge of the migrations of most of the Israelites from Asia toward Europe, for, in his "Antiquities of the Jews" he writes: "...wherefore there are but two tribes in Asia and Europe subject to the Romans, while the ten tribes are beyond the Euphrates till now (A.D. 70) and are an immense multitude, and not to be estimated by numbers" (book 11, chap. 5). - JAH (See Stone of Scone article for JAH synopsis)

Most Holy Father and Lord, we know and from the chronicles and books of the ancients we find that among other famous nations our own, the Scots, has been graced with widespread renown. They journeyed from Greater Scythia by way of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Pillars of Hercules, and dwelt for a long course of time in Spain among the most savage tribes, but nowhere could they be subdued by any race, however barbarous. Thence they came, twelve hundred years after the people of Israel crossed the Red Sea, to their home in the west where they still live today. The Britons they first drove out, the Picts they utterly destroyed, and, even though very often assailed by the Norwegians, the Danes and the English, they took possession of that home with many victories and untold efforts; and, as the historians of old time bear witness, they have held it free of all bondage ever since. In their kingdom there have reigned one hundred and thirteen kings of their own royal stock, the line unbroken a single foreigner.
The high qualities and deserts of these people, were they not otherwise manifest, gain glory enough from this: that the King of kings and Lord of lords, our Lord Jesus Christ, after His Passion and Resurrection, called them, even though settled in the uttermost parts of the earth, almost the first to His most holy faith. Nor would He have them confirmed in that faith by merely anyone but by the first of His Apostles -- by calling, though second or third in rank -- the most gentle Saint Andrew, the Blessed Peter's brother, and desired him to keep them under his protection as their patron forever.
The Most Holy Fathers your predecessors gave careful heed to these things and bestowed many favours and numerous privileges on this same kingdom and people, as being the special charge of the Blessed Peter's brother. Thus our nation under their protection did indeed live in freedom and peace up to the time when that mighty prince the King of the English, Edward, the father of the one who reigns today, when our kingdom had no head and our people harboured no malice or treachery and were then unused to wars or invasions, came in the guise of a friend and ally to harass them as an enemy. The deeds of cruelty, massacre, violence, pillage, arson, imprisoning prelates, burning down monasteries, robbing and killing monks and nuns, and yet other outrages without number which he committed against our people, sparing neither age nor sex, religion nor rank, no one could describe nor fully imagine unless he had seen them with his own eyes.
But from these countless evils we have been set free, by the help of Him Who though He afflicts yet heals and restores, by our most tireless Prince, King and Lord, the Lord Robert. He, that his people and his heritage might be delivered out of the hands of our enemies, met toil and fatigue, hunger and peril, like another Macabaeus or Joshua and bore them cheerfully. Him, too, divine providence, his right of succession according to or laws and customs which we shall maintain to the death, and the due consent and assent of us all have made our Prince and King. To him, as to the man by whom salvation has been wrought unto our people, we are bound both by law and by his merits that our freedom may be still maintained, and by him, come what may, we mean to stand.
Yet if he should give up what he has begun, and agree to make us or our kingdom subject to the King of England or the English, we should exert ourselves at once to drive him out as our enemy and a subverter of his own rights and ours, and make some other man who was well able to defend us our King; for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.
Therefore it is, Reverend Father and Lord, that we beseech your Holiness with our most earnest prayers and suppliant hearts, inasmuch as you will in your sincerity and goodness consider all this, that, since with Him Whose Vice-Regent on earth you are there is neither weighing nor distinction of Jew and Greek, Scotsman or Englishman, you will look with the eyes of a father on the troubles and privation brought by the English upon us and upon the Church of God. May it please you to admonish and exhort the King of the English, who ought to be satisfied with what belongs to him since England used once to be enough for seven kings or more, to leave us Scots in peace, who live in this poor little Scotland, beyond which there is no dwelling-place at all, and covet nothing but our own. We are sincerely willing to do anything for him, having regard to our condition, that we can, to win peace for ourselves.
This truly concerns you, Holy Father, since you see the savagery of the heathen raging against the Christians, as the sins of Christians have indeed deserved, and the frontiers of Christendom being pressed inward every day; and how much it will tarnish your Holiness's memory if (which God forbid) the Church suffers eclipse or scandal in any branch of it during your time, you must perceive. Then rouse the Christian princes who for false reasons pretend that they cannot go to help of the Holy Land because of wars they have on hand with their neighbours. The real reason that prevents them is that in making war on their smaller neighbours they find quicker profit and weaker resistance. But how cheerfully our Lord the King and we too would go there if the King of the English would leave us in peace, He from Whom nothing is hidden well knows; and we profess and declare it to you as the Vicar of Christ and to all Christendom.
But if your Holiness puts too much faith in the tales the English tell and will not give sincere belief to all this, nor refrain from favouring them to our prejudice, then the slaughter of bodies, the perdition of souls, and all the other misfortunes that will follow, inflicted by them on us and by us on them, will, we believe, be surely laid by the Most High to your charge.
To conclude, we are and shall ever be, as far as duty calls us, ready to do your will in all things, as obedient sons to you as His Vicar; and to Him as the Supreme King and Judge we commit the maintenance of our cause, csating our cares upon Him and firmly trusting that He will inspire us with courage and bring our enemies to nought.
May the Most High preserve you to his Holy Church in holiness and health and grant you length of days.
Given at the monastery of Arbroath in Scotland on the sixth day of the month of April in the year of grace thirteen hundred and twenty and the fifteenth year of the reign of our King aforesaid.

Declaration of ArbroathThe Declaration of Arbroath was a declaration of Scottish independence, and set out to confirm Scotland's status as an independent, sovereign state and its use of military action when unjustly attacked. It is in the form of a letter submitted to Pope John XXII, dated 6 April 1320. Sealed by fifty-one magnates and nobles, the letter is the sole survivor of three created at the time. The others were a letter from the King of Scots and a letter from the clergy which all presumably made similar points.
Taken From Wikipedia.
The Declaration made a number of much-debated rhetorical points: that Scotland had always been independent, indeed for longer than England, that Edward I of England had unjustly attacked Scotland and perpetrated atrocities, that Robert I of Scotland had delivered the Scottish nation from this peril, and, most controversially, that the independence of Scotland was the prerogative of the Scots people, rather than the King of Scots. In fact it stated that the nobility would choose someone else to be king if the current one did anything to threaten Scotland's independence.
While often interpreted as an early expression of 'popular sovereignty' – that kings could be chosen by the population rather than by God alone – it can also be argued to have been a means of passing the responsibility for disobeying papal commands from the king to the people. In other words, Robert I was arguing that he was forced to fight an illegal war (as far as the pope was concerned) or face being deposed.
Written in Latin, it is believed to have been drafted by Bernard, abbot of Arbroath Abbey (often identified as Bernard de Linton, although his surname is unknown), who was the Chancellor of Scotland at the time. While dated to 6 April 1320 at Arbroath Abbey, there was in fact no meeting of nobles there by whom the document was drafted. Instead the document may have been discussed at a council meeting at Newbattle Abbey, Midlothian, in March 1320 (although firm evidence for such a debate is lacking). Arbroath was simply the location of the royal chancery (in other words Abbot Bernard's writing office), and the date provides evidence only for his part in proceedings.
The seals of eight earls and as many as forty-one other Scottish nobles were appended to the document, probably over the space of some weeks and months, with nobles sending in their seals to be used, perhaps under some duress. It has been argued that this resentment played a role in the Soules Conspiracy to overthrow Robert I later in 1320. The Declaration was then taken to the papal court at Avignon.
The Pope seems to have paid some heed to the arguments contained by the Declaration, although its contemporary influence should not be overstated. It was in part due to his intervention that a short-lived peace treaty between Scotland and England, the Treaty of Northampton, renouncing all English claims to Scotland, was finally signed by the English king, Edward III, on the 1 March 1328.
The original copy of the Declaration that was sent to Avignon is lost. However a file copy has been maintained by the National Archives of Scotland in Edinburgh. The most widely known English language translation was created by Sir James Fergusson, formerly Keeper of the Records of Scotland, from text that he reconstructed using this extant copy and early copies of the original draft. One passage in particular is often quoted from the Fergusson translation:
...for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom – for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.
The stirring rhetoric of the Declaration has made it famous both in Scotland, and internationally, and it is argued that it had some influence on the drafters of the United States Declaration of Independence. Debate still rages about the contemporary relevance of the document – whether it represented the genuine thoughts of the nobility regarding independence, sovereignty and the proto-democratic right of the people to choose a king, or whether it was above all a piece of royal propaganda and special pleading, drafted strictly under the control of the chief royal minister, Abbot Bernard. However it is not disputed that the document subsequently played an influential role in the history of Scottish national identity and the creation of the common belief (whether based in legal reality or not) that in Scotland it is the 'people' that are sovereign, rather than the monarch or parliament, as in England.

The Massachusetts State Lottery will move some warehouse operations from Springfield to Worcester later this year, shifting many of its employees.
The Lottery maintains a regional office at 20 Fort St. in Springfield. The lease for that office runs out May 31.
“Lottery management identified the expiration of the lease as an opportunity to assess operational efficiencies,” said Lottery spokesman Christian Teja.
According to Teja, the Lottery does plan to maintain a presence in Greater Springfield and is working with the state’s Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance to find a new space. That space will be used for customer service, as an office where customers can go to claim prizes and purchase products.
But warehouse needs that have been fulfilled in Springfield will be shifted to the Lottery’s office in Worcester.
According to Teja, all 25 current Springfield employees will remain employed by the Lottery, but not necessarily in Springfield.
Six jobs will remain in Springfield. One person accepted a position at the Lottery’s headquarters in Braintree. Another 18 field positions will report to the Worcester office. Because much of their work is in the field, they will not be going to Worcester on a daily basis, Teja said.

Medical Billing Companies in India – How Efficient?
With the introduction of various healthcare reforms, the US revenue cycle solutions space has been witnessing a challenging time lately. Due to this transformation, the dependency of healthcare entities on offshore medical billing companies has increased. Although there are many offshore medical billing companies operating in different parts of the world, medical billing companies in India are considered the most reliable by several healthcare entities. The prime reason is that medical billing in India is done effectively and efficiently, making it the most popular destination for offshore medical billing. Scroll down to learn how medical billing companies in India are efficient:
Efficient Cost Savings: Large investments in office space and overheads will not be required anymore, as medical billing companies in India are fully equipped. Therefore, healthcare entities can save this amount and improve their cash flow mechanism. Expenses related to staff-training and automation can also be saved to a large extent. A statistics report says that by outsourcing to offshore medical billing companies in India, healthcare entities can save up to 50% of their revenue.
Consistent Quality: When outsourcing to indian offshore medical billing companies, there is no place for compromise in the quality of work. Most of them are staffed with well-trained medical billers and coders who follow stringent quality control processes to ensure error-free claims submission.
Favorable Time Difference: The 9 to 13-hour time difference between the US and India makes medical billing companies in India highly favorable. They perform most back office medical billing functions during the US night time. The following morning, the US team can carry out the remaining front end work. This speeds up the claims submission process and increases cash flow.
Implementing Best Practices: Asmost medical billing companies in India handle multiple clients across the US, they get an opportunity to learn the best practices followed by each of their clients. Not just that! They cross-apply these best practices to the medical billing process of existing and new clients to improve efficiency. Also, since the teams work with multiple clients, they are multi-faceted in their experience and the healthcare entities in the US can leverage on the strength of the offshore partner to venture into new specialties or implement a new software.
Flexible pricing models:
Most offshore medical billing companies adopt 2 or more pricing models. The typical models are 1) percentage based or a success fee model and 2) FTE or per employee model. The models are chosen based on the level and extent of services to be delivered. eCare also offers other pricing models that are customized and modified based on client needs and requirements.
e-Care is one of the most reputed medical billing companies in India, which offers the aforementioned services efficiently to more than 25 clients across the US.
About e-Care India:
e-Care India is one of the renowned medical billing companies in India that promises the above mentioned benefits with total customer satisfaction. With 14 years of experience in the industry, e-Care’s 3 offshore medical billing delivery centers have been providing end-to-end revenue cycle solutions seamlessly to its clients.

Probing the mechanical properties of cells is critical for understanding their deformation behaviors and biological functions. Although some methods have been proposed to characterize the elastic properties of cells, it is still difficult to measure their time-dependent properties. This paper investigates the use of atomic force microscope (AFM) to determine the reduced relaxation modulus of cells. In principle, AFM is hard to perform an indentation relaxation test that requires a constant indenter displacement during load relaxation, whereas the real AFM indenter displacement usually varies with time during relaxation due to the relatively small bending stiffness of its cantilever. We investigate this issue through a combined theoretical, computational, and experimental effort. A protocol relying on the choice of appropriate cantilever bending stiffness is proposed to perform an AFM-based indentation relaxation test of cells, which enables the measurement of reduced relaxation modulus with high accuracy. This protocol is first validated by performing nanoindentation relaxation tests on a soft material and by comparing the results with those from independent measurements. Then indentation tests of cartilage cells are conducted to demonstrate this method in determining time-dependent properties of living cells. Finally, the change in the viscoelasticity of MCF-7 cells under hyperthermia is investigated.

SAN DIEGO --
Marines and sailors with the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit's maritime raid force conducted visit, board, search and seizure training, also known as VBSS, and close-quarters tactics training at the Strategic Operations Facility here Aug. 6 as part of a two-week training cycle.
The raid force is made up of a reconnaissance element, an infantry element, intelligence teams, explosive ordinance disposal Marines, and a detachment from 1st Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company.
"We train to enhance our capabilities for operations like VBSS as well as qualifying our Marines in low light to no light situations," said Gunnery Sgt. Jonathan Compton.
Compton, a 31-year-old Cleburne, Texas, native, serves as the raid force's first sergeant.
Each member of the raid force participated in fast roping, a technique used to descend from an aircraft on to a target site without landing the aircraft. They also conducted precision land raid training, which is used to secure a landing zone, said Compton, while transitioning from wearing no gear to operating in full body armor and carrying small arms weapons during simulated hostile scenarios.
Lance Cpl. Corey Ericson, 22, who was with the raid force during the unit's recent Western Pacific deployment, says training has become second nature.
"It's hard, but it's fun," said Ericson, a radio operator with the MEU's command element and San Clemente, Calif., native. "Honestly, I've done this so many times that it's a part of me now."

In the above article the various editors examine the government efforts to tackle economic recession through employee layoffs, compulsory furloughs, and shorter workweeks and wage cuts. Such measures directly and indirectly contribute to lower economic growth and stagnation both internationally and in the local arena.
While comparing European companies (that have adopted shorter workweeks and mandatory time off) and American companies (that have embraced layoffs to control labor costs), Corinne Maier adopts the view that the variation in strategy adopted has to do with cultural differences as well as the social safety net that many European governments offer. For American employers, they have opted for one approach i. e. layoffs versus shorter workweeks and wage cuts; it is better for the economy.
However, Heather Boushey on ‘How to Help the Economy, and Families’ observes that firms in the United States should consider cutting back in this recession by introducing shorter workweeks, flexible schedules and more time off, rather than laying off workers. A complete layoff — especially in this economy where there are more than four unemployed workers for each job available — could be devastating to a family’s economic well-being. On top of lost income, since most workers get their health insurance from their employer, a layoff can mean the loss of access to health care for the worker and rather possibly their entire family.
In the United States, 6 in 10 workers who have become unemployed over the last 12 months have not received any unemployment remuneration. Thus, more than one out of every two unemployed workers ends up having to severely curtail their consumption, which pulls down economic growth since 70 percent of the United States economy is based on consumer spending. Keeping more people employed, even at shorter hours, helps maintain consumer spending, which in turn, helps to keep the overall economy going.
Corinne Maier in the article Recession Fighting the French Way, subscribes to fhough that France has the ultimate weapon for fighting the economic crisis: free time. Long live the 35-hour week, though it was once sentenced to the scaffold by President Nicolas Sarkozy. The law reducing work hours, known in French as R. T. T. , today is like a shock absorber of the crisis. Businesses in trouble are using the R. T. T. rule to avoid layoffs. Its proof during last Christmas, none of the salaried people in Paris were working. Several of them saying; “My Company pushed us to take the R.
T. T. between Christmas and New Year’s Day. ” The translation being since there’s no work, mandatory days off were being imposed on employees in the pretext of holidays. There are numerous trade-offs in the choice between layoffs and work-sharing, the term for reduced hours or rotating furlough. From the employer’s point of view, layoffs have the benefit that they generally save much more money than work-sharing, because layoffs eradicate the fixed expenses of employment, like benefits, administrative costs and the costs of maintaining a place for people to work.
In some companies, these overheads are substantial. But work-sharing has the disadvantage that it can hurt workers’ self-esteem by reducing incomes. Germans are justifiably proud of what they call the ‘social market economy’. In this economy there is generally a tighter bond between employees and the company because of a shared dedication not just to profits but also to a sense of community, or “Gemeinschaft. ” Thus, workers are quite willing to forfeit part of their paycheck or their workweek to sustain fellow employees on the payroll.
Therefore, it remains to be seen whether large numbers of firms take on shorter workweeks and more time off or whether this trend will continue once the recession is over. If done right – that is, in a way that works for employees, as well and employers – greater workplace flexibility may help families struggling to balance work and family responsibilities. It could also add a little boost to our economy just when we need it. The global economic recession crisis has affected both strong and unstable economies in the world.
Economies and companies in an effort to control the crisis ought to consider factors as the foreign investors at home, the market share in the industry and their production capacity. As a result measures to be implemented will not only serve to end the problem in the short term but also in the long run. As the major foreign exchange earner through forein direct investments, the forein investors have to be protected in times when the government resorts to restrict their operations through quotas and licensing. On the other hand, firms that intend to tackle the crisis should put into consideration the external envuronments and operations.
The GDP of America is directly affected by their option of employee layoffs. Such aspects of our economy that control our GDP are the law of demand (The law of demand determines how much the people want and are willing to pay for a good or service. The law of demand says that the lower prices go, the more people will want). This result from the fact that unemployed workers are constrained in their spending therfore the government’s dependance on consumer spending is greatly hampered. In conclusion, most countries among the developed economies opt for more or less similar measures in dealing with the global recession.
Apart from layoffs adopted by the United States, compulsory furloughs are entertained by most other economies. As expected, concern for the welfare of uneployed workers upon relief from duty remains in the hands of their families with the exception of Germany and other few economies, where the fellow workers sacrifice to ensure the health of fellow retrenchees. ?

Hip-hop artist making the best of rap music. Making those tracks which you don't just listen once to understand but might need to listen three or four times to get the best of it. Young, energetic and full of life. Once the worst, now competing with the best, having nothing yet possessing it all, looking like nothing and yet being everything, D Vibe is one determined artist. He knows no boundaries to his music. His songs are full of purity and bring out the best in the genre of hip-hop, sometimes not with the best tune and rythm but having a concrete and dexterious message; once thoroughly heard and understood, you will appreciate its worth. He is still finding his voice though; so forgive his experimental vocals which may in some occasions perhaps more than ussual be some-what raw. Enough said, this young artist may not be the best right now, but give him enough time and attention, you will realise that he has the potential to be the best in the nest.

The Samsung Galaxy S II runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread, which works brilliantly on the Galaxy S II. A planned upgrade to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is also in the pipeline, but no confirmed dates have been announced yet.
Thanks to the super fast dual-core CPU and large amount of RAM, Android 2.3 works effortlessly on the Samsung Galaxy S II, with every swipe being as smooth as the last.
Opening applications was also something I noticed as well due to the speed in which they opened! Compared with the other Galaxy smartphones, the S II was extremely capable of running in excess of over 15 applications without any performance decrease during our testing.
A truly brilliant smartphone backed up by a great operating system.
Once the Ice Cream Sandwich update is released for the Galaxy S II, it’s going to be hard for new devices to compete when they’re this good already.
Overall, I was absolutely blown away with the Samsung Galaxy S II’s performance whilst we were in our testing phase. And even though I’m a pretty much an Apple Fanboy, I’d opt for the Samsung Galaxy S II over the iPhone 4S in a heartbeat.
With an extreme amount of power, a great camera and a brilliantly smooth and stable operating system, the Samsung Galaxy S II would definitely be on my list of best smartphones of 2011.
With the Galaxy S II retailing at £400 for the 16GB version, it’s also considerably cheaper than other smartphones that don’t perform as well.
- Fast and smooth UI
- Audio quality
- Brilliant 4.3-inch display
- Still photo quality and 1080p video quality
- Battery life
- Sleek and attractive design
- A fair amount of app bloatware

NEW DELHI (REUTERS) - Revelations in a new book by former Congress Party stalwart K. Natwar Singh have put Sonia Gandhi on the defense this week, in the latest challenge to her leadership of the embattled party and India's foremost political dynasty.
In the autobiography "One Life is Not Enough," released on Friday, Mr Singh paints an unflattering picture of the 67-year old Congress party head, labelling her an at-times "Machiavellian" leader who has been "coarsened" by politics.
The remarks come at a fraught time for Ms Gandhi, having recently presided over her party's slide from a decade in power to its worst-ever defeat in national elections in April and May.
Mr Singh, a former external affairs minister who was expelled from the party, places the blame for the drubbing on Ms Gandhi, alleging her grip on the Congress Party has been both complete and destructive. "What Sonia Gandhi has achieved is to reduce the Congress, one of the greatest political parties of the world, to a rump of forty-four members in the Lok Sabha," he wrote.
Unsurprisingly, Congress has come out swinging in defense of its leader. "We note the necessity to sensationalize such matters on the eve of publication because that is vital to increase sales," Congress spokesman Abhishek Singhvi said in a July 31 press briefing. "It is, of course, highly regrettable that persons who have enjoyed high positions of power and entrusted to them by and on behalf of the Congress party ... misuse and distort such confidentiality for commercial purposes."
The passage in Mr Singh's book that has created the biggest stir is one in which he reports Gandhi declined the prime ministership after leading Congress to victory in 2004 because her son, Rahul, objected. Rahul Gandhi is now vice president of the party.
"Rahul was vehemently opposed to his mother becoming Prime Minister, fearing that she would lose her life, much like his grandmother and his father," Mr Singh wrote. "He had his way. That was the reason for her not becoming Prime Minister." After the 1984 assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, her son Rajiv Gandhi, Sonia's husband, took over as prime minister. He was assassinated by a suicide bomber in 1991.
On Thursday, in an unusual public comment, Sonia Gandhi struck back at Mr Singh's claims, telling reporters that she would write a book to give her own account of events. "The only way the truth will come out is if I write," she said, according to NDTV.
Analysts have said the big win by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which secured 282 seats in India's lower house of parliament compared with Congress's 44, had as much to do with the well-run campaign of Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the lacklustre re-election bid by Congress.
After Congress's defeat, both Sonia and Rahul Gandhi offered to step down as leaders of the party, but the offers was rejected by party bosses.


Every type of car has its Achilles’ heel.
Diesels have the fuel economy but a dirty rep due to elevated NOx emissions. Petrols tend to be nippier but can be weak on mpg. Electric vehicles (EVs) manage to combine amazing running costs and an insanely eco-friendly drive but compared to their internal combustion cousins, mile range is limited.
But they’re getting better. How far an EV can go on a single charge before it needs plugging in is growing all the time.
We’ve looked at the best electric cars in the past, but which will go the furthest?
Slight disclaimer: an EV’s real-world range can vary depending on road and weather conditions, as well as traffic levels and driving style, so to keep things fair, we’re going off range figures from New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) tests.
Renault Twizy (62 miles)
It’s kind of unfair to call the Twizy ‘a car’, because it isn’t. Technically, it’s a quadricycle and to be honest, it’s an absolute hoot, even with its limited 50mph top speed. It might not get you very far but the Twizy will make you smile.
Citroen C-Zero / Peugeot iOn (93 miles)
Both these cars are technically a Mitsubishi i-MiEV and they’re pretty awful.
We shouldn’t be cruel though because they were some of the earliest EVs on sale and paved the way for more capable battery-powered models like the Nissan Leaf (235 miles).
Volkswagen e-Up (99 miles)
The electric Up is what the C-Zero and iOn wish they were. This zippy model manages to blend zero-emission motoring with style and refinement, all in a tiny package. Installing an electric powertrain into such a nimble and compact car arguably makes this the perfect city runaround. Sadly, its £21,140 price tag means it is a tough purchase to justify.
Jaguar I-Pace (336 miles)
Jaguar aced it with their first ever SUV – the F-Pace – and they’ve reprised that hole-in-one with their debut electric SUV: the I-Pace.
Even before direct rivals from Audi and Mercedes come to market (the E-Tron and EQC respectively), the I-Pace has them beat with its 336-mile range. Chuck in a 394bhp power output and the kind of luxury you’d expect from any other Jaguar and you have one of the finest EVs around.
Hyundai Kona Electric 64kWh / Kia e-Niro 64kWh (339 miles)
We’re letting the Kona and e-Niro share the same spot because, well look at them, they’re essentially the same car. Both offer more range than the I-Pace for roughly half the price. Crazy.
Rather than go into all the details here, head to our in-depth look of the e-Niro here.
Tesla Model S 100D Dual Motor AWD – NEDC range: 393 miles
You probably expected a Tesla to come out on top and it’s the original that is still the best when it comes to range. In addition to offering the longest range, the 100D variant still manages to deliver the supercar-style performance that’s helped the Model S make headlines in the past.

Lot 132 - 1966 Morgan 4/4 Series V
|£13,000 - £18,000
- Original right hand drive
- Supplied new to UK
- Recently returned from California
Started in 1910, the Morgan Motor Company of Malvern Link, Worcestershire built its first four-wheeled car in 1935. Until that time, all Morgan’s had been three wheelers. The new model designated 4/4, signifying four wheels and four cylinders. The original 4/4 used a Coventry Climax engine. When revived in 1955, the 4/4 used Ford power built in Britain. From 1954 the Plus 4 became available, using the bulletproof Triumph TR3 engine, this quickly became the preferred model, especially in North America. After Triumph changed to a six-cylinder engine in 1967, discontinuing the TR4 engine, Morgan responded by uprating the 4/4 with a Weber carburetted 1600cc Ford Cortina engine. A year later Morgan introduced a new model, the Plus 8 powered by a Rover V8 unit replacing the Plus 4.
This, original, right hand drive Morgan 4/4 Series V is shown in the factory register to have been completed on the 28th November 1966 with disc brakes, heater and ‘pump up’ bucket seats. Supplied through Bowman & Horik and registered in the UK as NNP 397E and sold to a family who then moved to Washington, United States taking this Plus 4 with them. Looking at the Certificate of Title the owners then moved to California and registered the car there in 1990. After a while the car was placed into long term storage which accounts for its good rust/rot free condition. Returned to the UK in December 2020 the current owner has had the car running but it would need fully recommissioning before being used. It is a very good candidate for a complete restoration. Finished in red with the original black interior this Morgan 4/4 is supplied with the Californian certificate of title, the NOVA registration number and copies of the records about the car from the factory ledger.

Colt Johnson Claims Larissa Attempted Suicide Last Week
Just when you thought last week's confrontation between Colt Johnson and Larissa Dos Santos Lima couldn't get any sadder and/or uglier…
… TMZ is here to say you're tragically mistaken.
The website has rundown a list of frightening new details from the night in question, which ended with Larissa getting arrested for domestic battery and then Colt filing for divorce a few hours later.
How did this 90 Day Fiance Couple fall so far so fast?
That's a very, very long story.
But what went down on the evening that finally put a nail in their tenuous coffin? Scroll down to hear Colt's side of the story…


The foundation laying ceremony for the wheel shop at the Lower Dnieper Plant took place in September 1933. The project presumed annual production of 200 000 solid wheels. The shop was designed as the most powerful in the world at the time. A ceremonious meeting took place during the laying of the first cubic meter of concrete. A special slab had been made, on which the plant’s employees cast the date of the start of construction. Almost all of the plant’s employees were involved in the construction of the wheel shop. “Voluntary Sundays” took place every week. The workers were helped by Red Army detachments, university students, and even high school seniors. Today the Lower Dnieper Plant is known as the PJSC “Interpipe Lower Dnieper Pipe Rolling Plant” and is a leading pipe industry enterprise in Ukraine, and one of the foremost industrial objects of the Dnipropetrovsk region. The plant produces seamless steel and electric welded pipes in over 1,200 sizes, and wheels in over 240 sizes. The plant is a monopoly in producing railway wheels and tires in Ukraine.

Eat Your Coffee CEO and Co-founder Johnny Fayad was in college in Boston when he helped come up with the idea to make energy bars. He and his co-founder were in the same accounting class during his freshman year. As typical busy students, they didn’t have time to make breakfast or coffee. When they realized there was a significant need among their peers for “cleaner options for caffeine,” as Fayad told PYMNTS in an interview, they got the idea to make caffeinated snacks.
The snacks were well-received – people liked them and kept buying them. They kept selling out of the bars, so they took a step back to think about how to scale the concept. They officially launched their business in 2015. Today, Eat Your Coffee sells energy snack bars made with real coffee. Although students still enjoy the bars, the target market has evolved to include young professionals and fitness enthusiasts.
Those who have challenges with acid reflux also like the company’s bars, Fayad noted, because they are less acidic than brewed coffee. One of the company’s customers, for instance, hasn’t been able to drink coffee due to reflux; after trying and loving the Eat Your Coffee’s bars, she has ordered thousands of units.
The company’s caffeinated snack bars come in flavors such as fudgy mocha latte, peanut butter mocha and salted caramel macchiato. Its line of caffeinated snack bites comes in flavors like cocoa espresso and pumpkin spice. Both products are available through the company’s eCommerce website, where consumers can make a one-time purchase or take advantage of the subscription offering, which allows for delivery every 30, 45, 60 or 90 days at a discount.
Eat Your Coffee accepts credit cards as well as express checkout options, including PayPal, Amazon Pay, Apple Pay and Google Pay.
When it comes to standing out in the market, Fayad said the company is “pioneering this like-new category in caffeinated natural snacks.” He believes the main differentiator is that the products are made with real coffee and provide real energy to keep consumers alert and energized, making them a great pre- or post-workout snack. The bars have roughly 80 milligrams of caffeine, which is comparable to approximately a cup of home-brewed coffee.
To promote its products, Eat Your Coffee gets in front of influencers and bloggers, and also does a fair amount of advertising on Facebook and Instagram. They also use event marketing at occasions such as triathlons, targeting endurance athletes and sporting enthusiasts who need a snack to help with their performance.
When it comes to timing, Fayad noted that caffeine and energy products have been around for decades, but they have typically been laden with sugar or ingredients that consumers don’t understand. Convivence stores offer all kinds of energy shots, energy gum or caffeine tablets, but Fayad said they are mostly made from artificial ingredients and have little to no nutritional value. Eat Your Coffee aims to offer healthier options made from real ingredients, with a caffeine source consumers can trust. And unlike a hot cup of coffee, their products offer the convenience factor of never spilling and fitting easily in a consumer’s gym bag to power their workouts (or their days).

Supreme Court of Canada Discusses Negligence and Duty of Care in Stolen Car Case
Today, in Rankin (Rankin’s Garage & Sales) v JJ, the Supreme Court of Canada (SCC) overturned an Ontario Court of Appeal decision which found that an owner of a commercial car garage owed a duty of care to a teenager who was injured after he and his friend stole a vehicle from the garage and went on a joyride. While the SCC found that no duty of care had been established in this particular case, it acknowledged a duty of care could arise in these circumstances if a plaintiff were able to establish that the business ought to have foreseen the risk of personal injury arising from theft.
Facts and Lower Court Decisions
After two teenage friends spent the evening drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana, they made their way to Rankin’s Garage. The property was not secured, and they found a set of keys in the ashtray of an unlocked vehicle. One of the teens decided to take the two of them out on a joyride. They were involved in an accident, and one of them (the passenger) suffered a catastrophic brain injury.
The injured passenger, through his litigation guardian, sued Rankin’s Garage, the driver, and the driver’s mother (who had supplied some of the alcohol). The trial judge concluded there was a duty owed by Rankin’s Garage, and the jury found all defendants (and the plaintiff) had been negligent, apportioning the highest amount of liability (almost 40%) to Rankin’s Garage.
The Ontario Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal by Rankin’s Garage, upholding the trial judge’s finding that a duty of care was owed to the plaintiff.
The majority of the SCC held that since there was no established duty of care in these circumstances, the Anns/Cooper test must be applied to establish a novel duty. First, the plaintiff must show there is a relationship of proximity between him and the defendant in which the failure to take reasonable care might foreseeably cause loss or harm to the plaintiff. The proper question is whether a court has been persuaded that the risk of the type of damage that occurred was reasonably foreseeable to the class of plaintiff that was damaged. Second, if that is established, the burden shifts to the defendant to establish there are residual policy reasons why this duty should not be recognized.
The Court accepted that the evidence established Rankin’s Garage ought to have known of the risk of theft of vehicles (it did not secure the property and sometimes left keys inside the unlocked vehicles). However, this alone could not be used to establish reasonable foreseeability of injury resulting from theft by minors. The fact that something is possible does not make it reasonably foreseeable. The multiple assumptions made by the Ontario Court of Appeal without evidentiary foundation (that a general risk of theft includes a risk of theft by minors, and that minors might harm themselves in joyriding, especially if they are impaired by alcohol or drugs) would mean theft by a minor was always foreseeable, which would fundamentally change tort law and result in a significant expansion of liability.
The Court distinguished lower court decisions which found a duty of care in similar circumstances, on the basis that those cases had an evidentiary basis for finding that injury subsequent to theft was reasonably foreseeable (e.g., leaving vehicle running in an area with bars near closing time; previous incident of minors stealing keys; minors were known to travel through the property). The Court rejected the notion that the plaintiff’s illegal or immoral activity would negate a duty of care, if established.
In the result, the majority of the SCC allowed the appeal and dismissed the claim against Rankin’s Garage. Two dissenting judges would have dismissed the appeal.

Princess Anne and Her Family
Princess Anne, the Princess Royal was born in 1950 and is the second child of the ruling queen and her husband. In 1973, Princess Anne married Captain Mark Phillips, and together they had two children, before getting divorced in 1992. The Princess Royal comes in at the 12th spot in line, and her children follow — her son comes first (this time he is the oldest).
Peter Phillips is 13th in line for the throne, and thanks to his lovely wife, Autumn Kelly Phillips, their two daughters, Savanah, and Isla, come in at 14th and 15th. The 16th spot in the long line of people who can become monarch is held by Peter's younger sister, Zara Phillips Tindall.
Zara is a professional equestrian (she is on the left in the photo) and is married to Mike Tindall. They have one daughter, Mia (who is also in the photo above), born in 2014, who is 17th in line to be queen. This is where Queen Elizabeth II's direct descendants end in the line of succession ... at least for now!

By adopting court-created remedial interim redistricting plans, did the Texas legislature engage in intentional racial discrimination, vote dilution, and racial gerrymandering in violation of the Constitution and the Voting Rights Act, and does the Court have jurisdiction to hear the case?
After a federal court struck down the Texas State Legislature’s redistricting plans as racially discriminatory and issued substantially similar interim plans for the 2012 election, the Legislature adopted those interim plans as law. However, Texas Voters (both individual voters and organizations) claim that these plans are still infected by discriminatory intent and effect. Texas argues that its Legislature did not engage in racial discrimination, vote dilution, or racial gerrymandering. Further, Texas insists that when its new Legislature repealed the old plans and adopted court-created new plans, any purported discriminatory intent was eliminated. Voters counter that the Supreme Court should adhere to the lower court’s finding of discrimination, which was not cleansed by a legislative workaround that essentially reenacted the original, problematic plans. This case requires the Supreme Court to determine when a state legislature exhibits a discriminatory intent in reconfiguring its electoral districts and how deeply that intent permeates into subsequent legislation. Further, this case may redefine the parameters for courts to evaluate redistricting, balancing the needs to protect voters’ rights and preserve state sovereignty.
Questions as Framed for the Court by the Parties
1) Whether the district court issued an appealable interlocutory injunction when it invalidated Texas’ duly enacted redistricting plan and ordered the parties to appear at a remedial hearing to redraw state congressional districts unless the governor called a special legislative session to redraw the congressional map within three days; (2) whether the Texas legislature acted with an unlawful purpose when it enacted a redistricting plan originally imposed by the district court to remedy any potential constitutional and statutory defects in a prior legislative plan that was repealed without ever having taken effect; (3) whether the Texas legislature engaged in intentional vote dilution when it adopted Congressional District 27 in 2013 after the district court found, in 2012, that CD27 did not support a plausible claim of racially discriminatory purpose and did not dilute Hispanic voting strength because it was not possible to create an additional Hispanic opportunity district in the region; and (4) whether the Texas legislature engaged in racial gerrymandering in Congressional District 35 when it simply adopted the district unchanged as part of the court-ordered remedial plan.
