In 2004, the Army Reserve captain left her executive assistant job at the hotel and conference center to volunteer for overseas duty as a supply route coordinator. Now, three years later, she has returned home to Latham to replace her bullet-proof vest with an apron.
But like many returning servicemen and women, St. Denis is going through a readjustment period at home. The soldier, private contractor and wartime blogger isn’t struggling, but three years in Iraq has certainly changed her. She says the heady experiences were so moving that she sometimes finds it difficult to relate to the person she was prior to deployment.
“I am less ‘everything is peaches and cream,’ ” St. Denis said recently while making a chicken dinner in her Route 9 home. “And I have greater appreciation for the little things.”
Working in Iraq taught her to slow down and appreciate “what so many Americans take for granted: leaves, grass, home-cooked meals,” St. Denis said. The 37-year-old is learning to live without nervous energy and responsibility, and says she has far less patience for whining.
Hearing a friend complain that a store didn’t have a specific color of Ralph Lauren home paint grated on her.
The Desmond was a wonderful place to work, but returning to the job would be impossible because St. Denis feels she would have no tolerance for “complaints about pillows not being fluffy enough.”
A lot of her returning colleagues also feel a bit misplaced, she said.
“We basically are kind of an island of misfits. There’s nothing that’s going to be as emotionally fulfilling as rebuilding a country,” St. Denis said.
Her feelings are common among returning vets because the Iraq conflict has not engendered a sense of shared sacrifice in the United States, said attorney Greg Rinckey, who represents soldiers and Marines.
“Part of the problem is the U.S. is not really a country at war,” Rinckey said. “This isn’t like World War II when you had everyone rationing. It’s definitely something I see.”
Most vets have a totally different outlook on life when they return from a war zone, Rinckey said. “They see people scrounging to just live, going through garbage to find meals and people blown away at any moment,” he said. It’s hard not to be touched by that, Rinckey said.
St. Denis was born two months prematurely in Niskayuna in 1970. Doctors gave her a slim chance at reaching her teen years.
Always the fighter, St. Denis survived and graduated from SUNY Cortland. During college, she joined the Army Reserves in Syracuse. She had always wanted to be a soldier, or a firefighter like her dad, Bob Stewart.
St. Denis has red hair, green eyes and likes to tell jokes. Several years ago, she, her father and brother all had the Scottish Lion Rampant tattooed on their arms. On the Fourth of July in 2003, she married her husband, Scott, wearing a red, white and blue dress. All guests were required to wear the colors of the flag.

Make Your Own Website
This basic tutorial will teach you to take a simple text editor like NotePad, make a web page and preview it in a browser. The process is a lot easier than you might think. I urge you to at least try. You could be a natural!!
HTML or Hyper Text Markup Language was developed in the early days of the internet. In its earliest form it was simply used to put words on a page and then link those pages together. There were no pictures on the first websites, just words.
HTML has evolved over the years. Today you can put pictures on your pages, add fancy borders and color and even make forms like guestbooks and polls to impress your visitors. There is even code to add music.
HTML is a tag based language. Tags are made by placing words or letters between brackets like these; . There is usually an open and a close tag for each element of your page. The letters in the close tag are always preceded by a forward slash; /.
The basic code for any HTML page is shown below:
If you look at the code you'll see an open and close HTML tag. Between the HTML tags you'll see 2 head tags and 2 body tags. I should state here that HTML is not case sensitive. HTML, Html and html are all the same to an HTML interpreter. I prefer lower case, you might prefer upper case. It's your choice.
Every HTML page is divided into 2 sections. There is a head section and a body section.
The head section at the top of the document contains information that is useful to browsers and search engines.
The body section of the HTML page will contain the actual code that makes text and images appear on your web page.
You'll always have a body section unless you choose to build your website with something called frames. Frames are a little too advanced for most beginners.
Making The Body Section
Since the purpose of this primer is to teach you how to make words appear on a web page, I'll focus on the body section of the document. I'll introduce you to 3 basic tags that you can use to build an entire website.
The Header Tag
When you read a magazine or a newspaper there are headings or headlines that introduce each page or paragraph. Web pages use the same technique.
Headings or headlines are placed on a web page using the header tag. Header tags come in 6 default sizes: h1, h2, h3, h4, h5 and h6. h1 is the largest and h6 is the smallest.
The code for the h1 tag would look like this:
Header Tag h1
If you decide to pursue the art of making your website with HTML code after this lesson, I'll show you how to make your header tags look a little more interesting. The web page you are reading uses 3 different sizes of header tags. The size and color are set using CSS style sheets.
Make Your First Web Page
Whenever you make a website, it's best to store all of your pages in one location. Create a new folder on your C drive and name it htdocs. Every time you save a web page , you'll want to save it in this folder. This will make the pages easier to find when you preview them with your browser.
Let's make our first page using just the code you've been shown so far:
Windows users open NotePad or Wordpad. Mac users will use TextEdit. Copy the code and paste it into the text editor window. Save the file in the htdocs folder as firstpage.html.
The .html extension is very important. If you save the page with the default .txt extension you'll see code when you look at it with your browser.
Now open a browser. Any will do. You can use Internet Explorer, Mozilla, even an AOL browser. Click File in the upper left corner. Click Open. Browse or navigate to the htdocs folder and open firstpage.html.
If you followed the directions to a T, you'll see the words Header Tag h1 in large letters in the browser window. If you see code, you saved the page with a .txt extension.
It's not very pretty, but believe it or not, this is what web pages looked like back in the 80s. HTML has come a long way since then. Now let's edit the page and add a paragraph.
Add a Paragraph to a Web Page
Paragraphs are added to web pages using the paragraph tag:
If you closed it, open firstpage.html in your text editor.
First find the line of code for the header tag that looks like:
Now create a space below the header tag code by using your Enter key and add the following code.
If your browser is still open hit the refresh button. If you closed it, open firstpage.html in your browser and take a look. You should see the new heading and the paragraph under it.
There it is. A typical 1980s web page. Now all we need to do is create a second page, link the two together and we've got a typical 1980s website.
Make a Second Page and Add Hyperlinks
Hyperlinks in their basic form are the underlined words that you click on a web page that send you to another page.
In order to link pages together, we need more than one page. Let's use firstpage.html as a template to create a second page.
Open firstpage.html in your text editor. Click File then SaveAs.
In the Save As Filename: box change firstpage to secondpage.html and Click Save
The changes that you make will now be to your second web page named secondpage.html
Before we look at secondpage.html with the browser, let's create a hyperlink that we can use to access page 1.
Hyperlinks are created using the anchor tag.
We need 2 things. We need text to tell the user where this hyperlink will take them and we need to tell the browser where to go.
Like all other HTML tags the text goes between the tags as shown:
Since we're sending our users to Page 1 of our website, that is the text that we put between the tags. Now we just need to tell the browser where to go when the text is clicked.
Many html tags use what are called attributes. Attributes are always placed within the brackets of the open tag. In this case we will add an href attribute to the open tag which will tell the browser where to go when the text is clicked. By itself the attribute code would look like this href="firstpage.html"
The completed hyperlink with its text and href attribute would look like this:
Copy the code for the hyperlink and Paste into secondpage.html under the paragraph code.
Save secondpage.html. Preview the page in your browser. Click the hyperlink. Does it take you to Page 1? If not, repeat the entire lesson and find what you missed.
If your hyperlink worked all you need to do is add a hyperlink to Page 1 which takes your user to Page 2 and your 2 page website is complete.
Open firstpage.html in your text editor. Add the code shown below under the paragraph:
Save firstpage.html and preview it in your browser. You should now be able to use your hyperlinks on each page to access the other.
Things to Try
1...Edit the paragraphs on each page, save them and preview them with your browser.
2...Add a second paragraph to a page and preview in your browser.
3...Add some different size header tags to the pages and put some paragraph text under them.
4...Use one of the pages as a template to make a third web page. Then create the hyperlinks to navigate to the third page.
If you've reached this point in the lesson there are 2 possible states of mind that you may be experiencing.
You may have breezed through the lessons and your confidence is exploding. You realize that you can make a website of your own with no problem.
You may also be confused and ready to give up. Don't Quit!! There's HOPE on the horizon.

The Classic Sitcoms Guide to...
The Dick Van Dyke Show
Season Two: 1962-63
1962-63: THE SECOND SEASON
Year-End Rating: 27.1 (9th place)
Carl Reiner continues as producer and head writer in the show's second
year, once again contributing most of the season's scripts, with a welcome
assist from Sheldon Keller and Howard Merrill, who would continue to
write for the show through the fourth season. John Rich returns as staff
director, and John C. Chulay signs on as assistant director--a position
he maintains for the remainder of the show's run.
Ritchie is grief-stricken by the death of his pet duck.
Posing as a mysterious stranger, Rob calls Laura and asks for a date--a
prank that backfires when she accepts his invitation.
Rob recalls the disastrous circumstances that led to his beleaguered
arrival at his own wedding--battered, bruised, and three hours late.
Carl Reiner fondly recalls the sequence where Rob shudders as he summons
the courage to propose to Laura in an open Jeep. "That was my proposal!
When I asked my wife to marry me, I got chills just like that." The
producer took pride that most of the stories on the show sprang from
events that had actually happened to him, or someone on the staff. "I
would always ask writers," he explained, "'What happened to you today?'
and not, 'What have you seen lately--and how can we change it around
for a story?'"
Writer Bill Persky found that the search for storylines could become
a comical obsession. In Look magazine, he recalled getting a
flat tire on a deserted Mexican roadway. "I was scared to death, but
I was thinking, how can I put this in the show?"
Rob's imagination runs rampant when he discovers a sizable sum of cash
stowed away in Laura's secret bank account.
Buddy worries that his incorrigible brother plans to fleece Rob when
the supposedly reformed gambler challenges the head writer to a friendly
game of pool.
Rob suffers from a post-hypnotic suggestion that forces him to act
hopelessly inebriated every time he hears a bell ring.
Rob tells Ritchie how he was given the middle name Rosebud in order
to settle a feud that raged among his grandparents before he was born.
Rob is concerned that Sally may be developing romantic illusions about
Ric Vallone, the handsome singer who's been flirting with her all week.
Rob and Laura recount vastly different versions of a spat that sent
Rob storming out of the house.
Rob suspects foul play when Buddy and Sally mysteriously disappear
together every weekend.
Rob and Laura worry that Ritchie may be suffering from an overactive
imagination when he complains that he's been attacked by a giant woodpecker.
A sudden fit of uncontrollable sneezing has Rob worried that he's developed
an allergic reaction to Laura.
Rob is afraid that Jerry will never forgive him after he lets another
dentist perform emergency work on his teeth.
Rob has his hands full directing the latest neighborhood variety show;
none of the husbands are too keen on letting their wife play
Guest star Bob Crane would move on to a regular spot on The Donna
Reed Show before he assumed the lead role in CBS's long-running
wartime sitcom Hogan's Heroes.
Rob and Laura are unable to unravel the mystery of how a cat burglar
stole their living-room set without leaving any clues.
The TV weather girl from Rob's hometown asks him to help her land a
role on The Alan Brady Show--a proposition that Laura eyes with
Rob responds to Laura's jealousy by accusing her of sounding "exactly
like one of those wives in a situation comedy." That such a comment
could be delivered without self-consciousness offers a clue to the show's
growing sophistication. The world of the Petries had become so real
that we could easily envision Rob and Laura sitting through annoying
half-hour comedies, just as we did.
Rob faces the fury of a woman scorned in a flashback that recounts
how he lowered the boom on his hometown sweetheart after his engagement
Laura feels betrayed when Rob tells a TV interviewer how she inspired
most of the outlandish domestic situations featured on The Alan Brady
Jerry Paris began his long tenure as the primary director of The
Dick Van Dyke Show with this episode. John Rich recalls how he came
to appoint the actor as his successor when he left the series to direct
feature films. "Carl and Sheldon were worried about what would happen
to the show," he remembers. "But it was already firmly on the tracks.
The cast and the writing were so solid, I told them, that anyone could
direct the show--I looked around, and Jerry happened to be standing
there--even him. Actually, Jerry turned out to be a fine director.
He did an excellent job."
The show's creator recalls a different account of how the talented
director found his calling. According to Carl Reiner, Paris had been
anxious to direct from the very start. "But he was such a fidgety guy,
no one thought he'd be very good as a director. After John left, we
finally gave Jerry a chance, and he did better than anyone dreamed.
He finally surprised us all."
When Buddy and Sally refuse to join Rob in an impulsive walkout, he
recalls his tempestuous early days as a writer on The Alan Brady
A late-show thriller gives Rob a nightmare about a world-domination
plot cooked up by an alien who looks exactly like Danny Thomas.
The Petries' latest skirmish springs from Rob's annoying habit of always
picking up the check when they're out with friends.
Laura gives Rob the silent treatment on the ride home from the restaurant
as he tries to figure out just what he did that got her so riled. "Well,"
she finally volunteers, "I think it's pretty terrible not to be able
to send our son to college." And from that marvelous leap in logic,
the quarrel escalates in a funny, dizzying spiral, and we laugh as we
recognize how in comedy--as well as in marriage--what isn't said often
reveals more than what is.
Fearing disaster, Laura warns Rob not to go on a weekend ski trip and
then blames herself for the inevitable accident.
Laura hires a flamboyant artist to paint the living-room walls but
has second thoughts when the ingratiating con man takes over the entire
Rob convinces Laura and the gang to stage a variety show at an old
pal's Catskills resort.
Rob and his old Army pal revive their old Laurel and Hardy routine
in what amounts to Dick Van Dyke's own heartfelt homage to the movie
comedy team. The star frequently acknowledged Stan Laurel's influence
on his work, especially the screen comedian's talent for "taking one
simple prop and doing fifteen minutes with it"--a gift that would also
prove to be Van Dyke's forte in the many extended solo bits that would
appear in later episodes.
Buddy and Sally are puzzled when Rob vanishes every time the show's
handsome French guest star walks in.
Writer Bill Idelson appeared in a handful of episodes as Sally's forlorn
boyfriend, Herman Glimscher. He continued to forge a distinguished career
as a comedy writer and eventually produced much of the first year of
MTM's The Bob Newhart Show.
Rob feels self-conscious when he discovers that he's the only comedy
writer at a literary gathering.
Carl Reiner does a lively bit as Yale Sampson, an English philosopher
prone to double-talk. The canny producer supplied himself with ample
opportunities to chew scenery, even after he assumed the on camera role
of Alan Brady in the show's third year.
Alan Brady's summer replacement is Tracy Rattigan, a lecherous flirt
who tests Rob's patience when he zeroes in on Laura.
Richard Dawson later discovered enormous popularity as a game-show
host, though not before he would log scores of sitcom appearances--including
regular roles on Hogan's Heroes and in the final incarnation
of The New Dick Van Dyke Show in the early seventies.
Rob plays amateur marriage counselor when Buddy threatens to divorce
Pickles over a silly misunderstanding.
Rob makes a fool of himself by attempting to outdo Laura's old boyfriend,
a suave and wealthy industrialist.
Rob tries to second-guess Laura's plan to surprise him on his birthday.
Sally's latest heartthrob is a stand-up comic who's badly in need of
a new writer, which is exactly what Rob and Buddy suspect he's after.
Ritchie helps his dad overcome a bout with writer's block when the
boy inadvertently causes Rob to plagiarize a sketch idea from a TV kid's

SHAKEUP: Mueller Requests Meeting with Trump Attorneys
In what President Trump’s attorneys consider a good sign, Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller wants a meeting with the Trump team.
What took so long? For Mueller, the jig is up.
He’s lucky this is a government lawsuit, or you can bet President Trump would OWN Mueller and three generations of Muellers.
As CNN reported,
President Donald Trump’s private lawyers are slated to meet with special counsel Robert Mueller and members of his team as soon as next week for what the President’s team considers an opportunity to gain a clearer understanding of the next steps in Mueller’s probe, according to sources familiar with the matter.
While the lawyers have met with Mueller’s team before and might again, the sources believe the upcoming meeting has greater significance because it comes after the completion of interviews of White House personnel requested by the special counsel and after all requested documents have been turned over. Mueller could still request more documents and additional interviews. No request to interview the President or the vice president has been made, sources tell CNN.
But Trump’s team, led by John Dowd and Jay Sekulow, is hoping for signs that Mueller’s investigation is nearing its end, or at least the part having to do with the President. Their goal is to help Trump begin to emerge from the cloud of the ongoing investigation, several of the sources explained. The sources acknowledge that Mueller is under no obligation to provide any information and concede they may walk away with no greater clarity.
Who wouldn’t pay $39.95 to see this meeting on Pay Per View? I certainly would. And you can bet that the showman in Trump would love to make it happen.
A couple of things you should know about the meeting.
First, President Trump exudes the confidence of an innocent man, who has grabbed the Left by its p*ssy!
Second, Mueller won’t be able to leak anything, because he knows Trump’s team will be prepared to counter.
Third, Mueller has NO bargaining position whatsoever.
As I wrote earlier, President Trump has not interfered in any aspect of this investigation:
Is President Trump circling the wagons around Manafort? No.
Is there some vast conspiracy by the Trump administration to cover-up for whatever Manafort has done?
And what of Flynn? Did the president intervene in any way in the investigation of him? Of course not.
Only in the last day or so has the president hinted at pardoning Flynn who has been undoubtedly railroaded.
But look at the cover-up by the Clintons, and perhaps worse Obama.
Enter Peter Strzok. The minion doing all the dirty-work on behalf of the FBI and specifically James Comey. I wrote of the tortuous explanation by Comey of why he couldn’t indict Hillary Clinton, and it was Strzok who changed the language. However the plot recently thickened, when we learned how much more they did.
As Fox News reported,
Newly released documents obtained by Fox News reveal that then-FBI Director James Comey’s draft statement on the Hillary Clinton email probe was edited numerous times before his public announcement, in ways that seemed to water down the bureau’s findings considerably.
Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, sent a letter to the FBI on Thursday that shows the multiple edits to Comey’s highly scrutinized statement.
In an early draft, Comey said it was “reasonably likely” that “hostile actors” gained access to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private email account. That was changed later to say the scenario was merely “possible.”
Mueller is in deep kimche. He knows it, as do most of the Left.
In describing Mueller’s “muddied path”, CNN wrote,
On December 1, all eyes in Washington were fixed on former national security adviser Michael Flynn pleading guilty to lying to the FBI. It was another sign that special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian meddling in the presidential election was gaining steam.
Nearly 24 hours later, top officials at the Justice Department had a problem.
Media reports surfaced Saturday morning that two top FBI officials had traded a series of text messages trashing then-presidential candidate Donald Trump and supporting Hillary Clinton.
Later that day, Mueller’s office, in a rare move, was quick to issue a statement addressing the texts — perhaps a recognition of the potential political upheaval brewing.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions directed FBI Director Christopher Wray to make “any necessary changes to his management and investigative teams.”
The head of the House Intelligence Committee threatened top officials at the Justice Department and FBI with contempt of Congress citations, hurling accusations that they’d been less than forthcoming about the text messages.
Defenders of the President, in search of any avenues to discredit, diminish and distract from Mueller’s work on the Russia investigation, have now focused their gaze directly inside the Justice Department and FBI, pouncing on newly perceived vulnerabilities that have bubbled up within a striking two-week span.
If this case were in the private sector, President Trump would OWN Mueller and the next three generations of Muellers.
I suspect Mueller will position himself for pardon, and begin to scuttle his ship. For now, we will have to await the outcome.

I suggest you talk to an experience personal injury attorney. You and your son should get checked out to see if you were hurt more than the airbag burns. Feel free to call for a free consultation.
Photograph the burns on your son's face now and as they heal. Gather your receipts for your new engine and your tires. Get some values for your vehicle with low mileage. Then go see an attorney, the attorney will get you the best deal.
This response does not create a lawyer client relationship. Each case is determined on its specific facts and this reply is intended for a general audience and facts particular to your case may affect the answer. Consult with an attorney in person for specific answers to your questions.
I'm sorry to hear about your accident, but I'm happy it was not worse than it was. In terms of compenstaion there are too many variables to give you an accurate idea of what your claim is "worth". There are 2 issues though - one is the property damage claim (the loss of your car), and the second is the compensation to you and your son for your injuries. In terms of the injuries, I would advise you to discuss the case with an attorney before making any statements to the opposing insurance company. They will use anything you say against you, and they will lowball any offers to you in a way that pressures you into accepting it. The insurance companies have binders and binders of training materials on how to manipulate folks like yourself into taking much less than the claim is worth (I used to defend insurance companies, and even I was surprised at how good they are at it).
In terms of the loss of your car, our firm handles that as part of the injury case and we don't take any fees from that recovery. Even with respect to the value of your car, an attorney can usually get you more than what the insurance company is offering. I believe other firms may do something similar. We all offer free consultations and you don't pay us anything upfront - only when you resolve your claim, so there is no risk. Get some good advice and don't get taken advantage of! Good luck to you and your son healing.
For more information, contact us at Fareesh@SarangiLaw.com or (770) 984-5380. The initial consultation is always free. This post is intended to provide general guidance, and should not be construed as legal advice. While I am an attorney, unless we sign a retainer agreement, I am not your attorney, and any information shared on Avvo does not create an attorney-client relationship. Please mark this answer as "Helpful" or "Best Answer" if you like it.
Both Ms. Edwards and Mr. Sarangi give good advice. Contact one of them, if in your area, to assist you. As noted, you have two issues - the property damage claim and potential personal injury claims for you and/or your son. Don't speak with the other carrier(s) on your own, anymore.
Although you came to Avvo site for an answer, unfortunately your question requires a more in-depth response than one that can be provided here. You may have several claims: you son's bodily and psychological injury claim, your vehicular damage claim, and possibly a product liability claim. You need to speak in person with a personal injury attorney who can explain these claims to you in detail. Most Avvo attorneys offer a free consultation. If you would like us to evaluate your claims for you, please go to the web page link below, then to the "Contact" page, for a free consultation:

I have a Freedom Elite 28H which is similar to the Four Winds 28Z. I am hoping someone has replaced their OEM slide type A/C - Heater thermostat with a digital thermostat and can send me the model number. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks for the help. When I went to Amazon there was another one that said 12 volt. I looked at the description of the one you linked to and it doesn't specify. Are all RV thermostats 12V? I would assume mine is since the heater will work when not on shore power.

The administrative seizure of a taxpayer’s property is an exceptional way to ensure that the taxpayer fulfills his obligations.
Grounds for arrest:
According to clause 94.2. Article 94 of the Tax Code of Ukraine (hereinafter referred to as the TCU), the seizure of property can be applied if one of the following circumstances becomes clear:
• the taxpayer violates the rules for the alienation of property that is in a tax lien (in accordance with clause 88.1 of article 88 of the Tax Code, the property of a taxpayer with a tax debt is transferred to a tax lien, and such a transfer does not require any written form, that is, if the taxpayer has any debt to the budget, then the property of such a payer is transferred as a tax lien and if the taxpayer decided to sell it (donate, etc.), then this is a reason for arrest)
• an individual with tax debt travels abroad
• the taxpayer refuses to conduct a documentary or factual audit if there are legal grounds for it or the admission of officials of the fiscal service;
• there are no permits (licenses) to carry out economic activities, as well as in the absence of a cash register registered in the manner prescribed by law;
• there is no registration of a person as a taxpayer with the fiscal service, or when a taxpayer who has received a tax notice or has a tax debt takes actions to transfer property outside Ukraine, hide it or transfer it to other persons;
• the taxpayer refuses to carry out an inspection of the state of safety of property that is in the tax lien;
• the taxpayer does not allow the tax administrator to draw up the act of the inventory of the property that is transferred to the tax lien.
• the taxpayer refuses to carry out an inventory of fixed assets, inventories, cash in accordance with the requirements of the GCC.
This list is exhaustive, therefore, if the taxpayer did not carry out the above actions, then the fiscal service will not have the legal right to seize property.
Possible objects of arrest:
• any property of the taxpayer, except for the property that is not subject to seizure * and
• funds in the taxpayer’s bank accounts.
Types of arrest:
• A complete seizure of property is a prohibition on the taxpayer’s exercise of the rights to dispose or use his property.
• A conditional seizure of property is a restriction of a taxpayer on the exercise of ownership rights to such property, it consists in the mandatory prior receipt of permission from the head of the relevant fiscal service for the taxpayer to carry out any operation with such property.
On the application of administrative seizure of funds in the taxpayer’s bank account.
According to clause 94.6.2 of clause 94.6 of Art. 94 NKU, the arrest of funds on the taxpayer’s account is carried out solely on the basis of a court decision by applying the fiscal service to the court. According to Article 1074 of the Civil Code of Ukraine, limitation of the client’s rights to dispose of funds in his account is not allowed, except in cases of limitation of the right to dispose of the account by a court decision.
The seizure of funds in the taxpayer’s account is carried out solely on the basis of a court decision after the appeal of the fiscal service body to the court. A bank or other financial institution releases funds from arrest by a court decision.
Termination of the administrative arrest of the taxpayer’s property.
In accordance with paragraph 94.19 of Art. 94 GCC sets the following list of grounds:
• absence, within 96 hours from the moment of the seizure, of a court decision recognizing the seizure as justified;
• repayment of the tax debt of the taxpayer;
• elimination by the taxpayer of the reasons for the application of administrative arrest;
• liquidation of a taxpayer, including as a result of a bankruptcy procedure;
• provision of the relevant supervisory authorities by a third party with appropriate evidence that the seized property belongs to the property rights of this third party;
• cancellation by a court or supervisory authority of the decision of the head of the supervisory authority to arrest;
• a court decision to terminate the administrative arrest;
• submission by the taxpayer of permits (licenses) to carry out activities, as well as a document confirming the registration of the registrars of settlement transactions carried out in accordance with the procedure established by law, except for cases specified by law;
• actual inventory of fixed assets, inventories, cash by the taxpayer, including the withdrawal of inventory balances, cash.
How to protect yourself from possible arrest.
1. The usual advice from a lawyer is not to break the law and at least once a month monitor the status of payment of taxes and filing reports in the taxpayer’s personal account. After all, an individual entrepreneur, in accordance with the provisions of Part 1 of Article 52 of the Civil Code of Ukraine, is liable for obligations related to entrepreneurial activity with all his property, except for property on which, according to the law, collection cannot be levied *.
2. Perhaps, before starting a business, free yourself of valuable assets by presenting them to your minor children, wife or parents (depending on who you have the best relationship with).
3. To “make friends” with its bank manager, as a rule, the bank needs several hours for the bank’s lawyers to agree to the application of the court decision on the seizure of the client’s accounts. If by chance, an entrepreneur decides to withdraw all funds from the account during the period when the bankers decide on the seizure of funds, then this will be an accidental success for such an entrepreneur.
4. Have a good accountant and lawyer, whose advice can save you from the negative consequences described in this article. The monthly payment for the services of these specialists will be cheaper than the payment for the services of releasing property from arrest.
If such an arrest does occur, then contact a qualified lawyer for help.

In a study sponsored by the National Institute of Mental Health and published in JAMA, St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) was found to be no more effective than placebo for treating depression but to be no worse than an antidepressant comparator (Hypericum Depression Trial Study Group [HDTSG], 2002). Critics of the study attributed these results to insufficient assay sensitivity; while those critical of antidepressant pharmacotherapy found the results supported their view that medication contributes little more than side effects to depression treatment.
The study, co-sponsored by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, followed another U.S. trial that had equated the efficacy of hypericum with that of placebo (Shelton et al., 2001). That head-to-head comparison of herb and placebo was funded in part by Pfizer Inc., manufacturer of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor sertraline (Zoloft) that was also used as the antidepressant comparator in the NIMH study.
It had been anticipated that the HDTSG study would resolve questions about the efficacy of hypericum shown in smaller, less well-controlled European studies and in a meta-analysis of those trials (Linde et al., 1996). It was not anticipated that the study would heighten debate about the
measure and efficacy of antidepressants approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, but the equivocal results emerging from this growing debate prompted the editors of JAMA to juxtapose the study with a literature review of placebo response in depression treatment trials (Walsh et al., 2002) and an editorial on the necessity of placebo control (Kupfer and Frank, 2002a).
In the eight-week, double-blind, randomized comparison of hypericum to placebo and sertraline, 31.9% of patients responded fully to placebo, compared to 24.8% responding to sertraline and 23.9% to hypericum (HDTSG, 2002). Full response was defined as achieving a Clinical Global Impression Scale-Improvement (CGI-I) score of 1 (very much improved) or 2 (much improved) and a Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D-17) score of ≤8. Sertraline was ranked better than placebo on the CGI-I, but neither the SSRI nor hypericum statistically separated from placebo in the HAM-D measure.
Critics argued that the study methodology was faulty and that selecting patients with long-standing depression and a score of at least 20 (moderate to severe) on the HAM-D-17 could obfuscate beneficial effects of the herb for patients with less severe illness (Cott and Wisner, 2002; Jonas, 2002; Linde et al., 2002; Wheatley, 2002). While the acuity of illness in this studied population may leave opportunities to evaluate hypericum in patients with less severe symptoms, the similarity of placebo and drug effect could foster additional questions about antidepressant effectiveness. In particular, this resonates with questions about SSRI effectiveness for severe depression posed over a decade earlier by the Danish University Antidepressant Group (1990). In addition, these results heightened consternation with the apparent potency of placebo for depression study populations.
Accompanying the HDTSG hypericum study was a literature review that found different levels of placebo response in depression studies over a period of two decades (Walsh et al., 2002). The review evaluated 75 placebo-controlled trials of treatment for adult outpatients with major depression that were conducted between 1981 and 2000. Most of the studies involved head-to-head comparison of active agents. Taking the active medication group with the greatest response, they reported that the mean proportion of patients responding to medication was 50.1% (range=31.6% to 70.4%); compared to 29.7% (range=12.5% to 51.8%) responding to placebo.

Inflation is a percentage measurement of how quickly the price of goods is increasing. It is measured for each country — although regions within a country can experience different rates of inflation. Most countries target 2-3% annual inflation.
To calculate the percent increase of inflation over the last year, take the previous year's Consumer Price Index (CPI) from the current year's index. Divide that number by the previous year's CPI, and multiply that result by 100. To make it simpler, let's call this year's CPI X, and last year's Y:
X - Y / Y x 100 = percent increase of inflation.
There are many factors that can overly increase inflation. When a country prints lots of money, inflation can dramatically increase, as was the cause in Zimbabwe, Africa. To get an idea of how normal inflation affects the prices of goods, the following shows the rising cost of a cup of coffee from 1970-2019:

It seems recent media coverage, including Blue Planet II and the Daily Mail, has helped to create a watershed moment in the effort to tackle plastic waste. At the launch of the government’s 25-year environmental plan Theresa May thanked the Daily Mail for highlighting the problem and she told Andrew Marr on his BBC1 show: “Nobody who watched Blue Planet will doubt the need for us to do something.”
While that heartstring-tugging episode of David Attenborough’s acclaimed TV programme may have lacked supporting evidence, and with most news outlets simplistically sticking to one viewpoint (that plastic is Satan’s own material), few would argue that the amount of plastic waste, including that which ends up in the ocean, is not a serious problem. And yes that includes those within the packaging industry.
The Big Issue is a multi award-winning magazine, edited by the British Society of Magazine Editors (BSME) current Editor of the Year.
Many brands have been moving towards making as much plastic packaging as possible recyclable, which is sensible as long as the recycling infrastructure receives adequate investment, but replacing plastic altogether would be far more problematic. When Iceland announced its ‘plastic-free’ targets, managing director, Richard Walker was seen on Channel 4 News holding a paper box which he said is replacing plastic containers, before turning it over to reveal a plastic lining. Replacing that with a water-based spray would be the second step, he said.
Do the 200 MPs calling on major supermarkets to eliminate plastic packaging by 2023 know if that’s practical?
This highlights the vital role plastic plays in keeping food fresh and that it is not the one dimensional cartoon villain it’s often made out to be. It also proves that, realistically, a suitable replacement – water-based or otherwise – might not be available in the immediate or near future. It could be easier with beverage containers, with glass and metal providing time-honoured alternatives.
Some reasons why many producers opt for plastic for drinks bottles are its light weight and greater toughness, design flexibility and economical production. Basically, despite all the great qualities and recyclability glass and aluminium offer, plastic is cheaper and more durable. Rather than reverse the trend one would imagine the inclination would be to go as far as possible down the plastic recycling route until a viable alternative becomes available. After all, a key phrase when talking about tax and bans on plastic is single use.
Big companies are making the right noises. Drinks giant Coca-Cola has just announced its new packaging vision ‘World Without Waste’, including a multi-year investment featuring ongoing work to make packaging 100 per cent recyclable. The company is committing to building better bottles, whether through more recycled content, by developing plant-based resins, or by reducing the amount of plastic in each container.
The development of bioplastics, polymers from organic sources, over the years will have been seen as an option but recycling bioplastics is a more complex and expensive process and much of it ends up in landfill.
Iceland’s ‘plastic-free’ announcement and Waitrose’s subsequent pledge not to sell own-label food in black plastic (difficult to recycle) beyond 2019 follows the Prime Minister setting out the government’s strategy on plastic with plans to tax single-use plastic packaging and assist supermarkets to create plastic-free aisles. It might not be such a wild conspiracy theory to believe there’s a link between plastic waste topping the political agenda (it may have even overshadowed Brexit talk few a few hours) and China’s ban on plastic waste imports at the beginning of the year. Could Michael Gove’s comment when asked about the potential impact of China’s ban – “I don’t know what impact it will have. It is … something to which – I will be completely honest – I have not given it sufficient thought” – have been a smokescreen? Unlikely, unless he has perfected a clueless act to an Oscar-worthy degree, but perhaps that was the point when the government realised that we might be facing a huge problem; namely heaps of plastic waste that can no longer be sent abroad. Louise Edge, senior oceans campaigner for Greenpeace UK, says that China’s refusal to accept more plastic waste is the reason why she feels “we can’t recycle our way out of this mess.”
Since 1991 The Big Issue has sold more than 200,000,000 copies – helping the most vulnerable in society earn more than £115 million.
Whether it has become a hot topic because the Prime Minister became emotional while watching Blue Planet II, mobilised by the Daily Mail or backed into a corner by China, the issue is at least being addressed. But the government should not ignore the packaging industry and brands which largely have similar goals and can add insight and balance to the debate. Do the 200 cross-party MPs who are calling on heads of the major supermarkets to eliminate plastic packaging from their products by 2023 know if that’s practical?
It’s also worth bearing in mind that with packaging waste (industrial waste is a whole different topic) we, the consumers – widely considered to be a driving force behind the big companies’ sustainability announcements – can be buffers between plastic waste and the ocean by how we dispose of it.
