a) Government should use every possible tool to catch criminals, including the use of mass surveillance.
b) Government should handicap itself in its pursuit of criminals by not using every resource available.
a) Government should be strong relative to its population so that a minority of radical civilians could not possibly overthrow it.
b) Government should be weak enough so that 10% of its male civilian population can overthrow it, as occurred in the American Revolution.
How should government be like? A or B, and why?

TAMPA—Alonso’s Quatasia Fantroy, who won a state title this year in the triple jump with a school-record leap of 38 feet, 9.75 inches, signed a track scholarship this week with Jackson State University in Mississippi.
Fantroy is expected to compete in the triple jump and help out in the sprinting events as well.
“She is easily the most decorated female athlete to come out of Alonso,” Alonso track coach Roger Mills said. “She has the potential to do more great things at the next level.”
This year Fantroy also contributed to the Ravens’ basketball team, averaging more than 20 points a game.

A bill in Georgia designed to allow for more religious speech in public schools is gaining steam among lawmakers, according to the Savannah Morning News.
Rep. Dustin Hightower (R-Carrollton), who introduced the Georgia Student Religious Liberties Act in January, said the bill would put "faith back in our schools."
"Currently, it seems as though students would have more of a right to burn a Bible than they would to read a Bible -- and what I am trying to do is just level that playing field,” he told WLBB Radio last month.
"I think that students who want to profess their faith should have as much rights and liberties as those students who chose not to profess their faith," Hightower explained. "This bill would allow schools the ability to stand up against the threat of lawsuits if the school continues to allow students to lead certain prayers over the intercom, at football games or graduation."
The legislation received widespread support from lawmakers at a House subcommittee hearing on Monday, Savannah Morning News reported. Half of the House Judiciary subcommittee members -- both Republicans and Democrats -- have already signed on as cosponsors.
But witnesses at the hearing warned it would unnecessarily entangle the government with religion.
"Our analysis shows it will subject students to unwanted proselytizing," Anti-Defamation League interim director Shelley A. Rose said.
She added that the proposed law was unlikely to be popular if Satanist used it to express his or her religious viewpoints over a school's intercom or football-stadium public address system.
“Students are not required to go to football games but it is such a part of the school that if you have one student giving a prayer, other students become a captive audience,” Rose remarked. “It makes it appear the school is sponsoring and authorizing it.”

Monday, 31 August 2009 12:33
By Kristie Snyder,
For GreenStar shoppers, having access to fresh fruits and vegetables may seem like a given. But for a lot of kids in our community, that’s not the case. Organizers of the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Snack Program at Beverly J. Martin Elementary School in Ithaca heard from plenty of teachers, and students themselves, about kids who had never eaten vegetables, never tried certain vegetables, never tried an apple, even. That’s all changed now that the program provides daily snacks of fruits and vegetables to every classroom in the school.
The snack program, now in its second year, provides daily servings of fresh, raw fruits and vegetables, locally-sourced and organic when possible, to pre-schoolers through fifth graders in each of the Beverly J. Martin (BJM) classrooms. A project of the New York Coalition for Healthy School Foods (NYCHSF), the program is supported entirely by private funding and community partners, including GreenStar and our non-profit affiliate, GreenStar Community Projects.
NYCHSF is a state-wide non-profit dedicated to improving the health of New York’s students by promoting healthy foods in schools. Executive Director Amie Hamlin wanted to replicate the USDA’s successful Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Snack Program, which is only available to a few schools in each state — those that serve the most low-income kids. Hamlin approached GreenStar for support. At the time, the work to get GreenStar Community Projects (GSCP) off the ground was just beginning, and a partnership seemed like a good match for both organizations. Last school year, GreenStar contributed over $2,000 in funding. This school year, GreenStar will assist with fundraising efforts and GSCP will support the program by offering related educational activities.
BJM was chosen as the pilot school because it serves many low-income families, as measured by the number of students signed up for the federal free-lunch program. The goals of the program are three-fold: to have the students consume two additional servings of fruits and vegetables each school day, to have the students consume less junk food, and to change students’ snacking behaviors. Twice each day, in the morning and afternoon, the students receive a snack consisting of a fresh fruit and a fresh vegetable. Teachers are given information about the foods that they can share with the class.
Teacher feedback indicates that most students eat the fruits and veggies. Survey responses from students and parents show that the kids are in fact eating less junk food as a result, and that they have changed their snacking behaviors. Many parents noted that their children are asking for the foods they have tried in school, and the kids say they feel better when they eat the fresh foods.
For some kids, the change is dramatic. One student said his favorite food used to be potato chips and was now vegetables. Another had never even tried an apple, and was very reluctant to try the new foods. He finally tried some apple, to the cheers of his classmates, and he liked it and went on to try other things. Some kids who used to bring their own unhealthy snack foods are no longer doing so, eating the fruits and vegetables instead. Teachers and students alike reported that the kids felt better and focused better when they ate the fruits and veggies as opposed to junk food. “Some teachers noted an overall change in the climate of the school,” FFVSP Program Director Lara Kaltman said. “And the kids are really excited about it.” A more quantitative analysis is currently underway, comparing absences, sick days and behavioral references before and after implementing the program, as well as evaluating any changes in the cafeteria’s a la carte sales.
Hamlin and Kaltman hope to make the program financially sustainable, with the goal of eventually turning its management over to the Ithaca City School District (ICSD). Currently, funding is being provided by various private foundations. GreenStar has volunteered to help with the fundraising effort, and during the month of September, shoppers can make a donation to the program at the register (look for more information in the store). Other fundraising ideas are in the works, according to General Manager Bini Reilly.
GreenStar Community Projects’ mission includes supporting community projects that promote healthful living and social justice. Supporting the FFVSP meets that objective, said Program Coordinator Liz Karabinakis. This year, she is organizing Community Dinners that will bring BJM families together to enjoy dinners of donated local produce prepared by area chefs. Karabinakis pointed out that, for many BJM families, fresh produce may be unaffordable. The Healthy Food for All program, which she coordinates as part of her job as Community Food Educator at the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Tompkins County, offers subsidized Community Supported Agriculture shares and nutrition and cooking classes to around 100 local families. The Community Dinners provide a venue for getting information on that program to BJM families, helping them obtain the vegetables that their kids are now excited about eating.
In addition to GreenStar’s and GSCP’s participation, the Village at Ithaca, a local non-profit dedicated to educational equity in the ICSD, provides administrative support, and Moosewood Restaurant is donating proceeds from an upcoming cookbook.
Hamlin and Kaltman plan to create a blueprint document for the program, which is now considered a pilot program, to share with other schools. GSCP will share that blueprint with other co-ops as well, which can then work to bring the program to schools in their communities, helping to educate the next generation of eaters.

The Stone Chest by G. A. Henty
Chapter I.--A Mystery Of The Storm.
"What a fearful night, Bob!"
"Yes, mother; it's about the worst storm of the season," replied Bob Cromwell, as he entered the seaside cottage and shook the water from his cap. "It will go hard on any vessel near the coast. The wind is rising to a perfect gale. Just listen to it sing."
There was no need to listen. The storm was so violent one could scarcely hear aught else. The little cottage, standing so boldly out upon the sea cliff, shook and rocked from end to end as if preparing to leave its foundations.
"I see supper is ready," went on Bob. "By the way, was Mr. Vasty here?"
At once Mrs. Cromwell's face grew dark and troubled. It was an aristocratic face, and plainly indicated that the lady had seen better days.
"Yes, he was here, Bob."
"And what did he say?"
"We must leave on Monday. The cottage has been sold over our heads."
Tears stood in Mrs. Cromwell's eyes as she spoke.
"Yes, my boy. He said he could wait no longer. He believes, as do all in Sea Cove, that your father is dead."
"Perhaps he is," sighed Bob. "It is now over six months since the Bluebell went down. If he escaped in a small boat we should have heard from him before this."
"Oh, I cannot believe your father dead, Bob," cried the mother, bursting into tears. "If I thought that--" She did not finish.
Bob sat down to the supper table in silence. He had little heart to eat, and swallowed the food mechanically.
Bob was seventeen years of age, bright, handsome, and fearless. He was Mrs. Cromwell's only son and his father had been a sea captain.
We say, had been, for the Bluebell had been wrecked some time before and all in Sea Cove thought the captain dead--all saving Mrs. Cromwell, who still hoped for his safe return--hoping, as it were, against hope.
Years before the Cromwells had been rich, owning four large trading vessels. But bad luck had come and continued until the fortune dwindled down to nothing but the ownership of the old Bluebell. It was then that the captain had determined on a voyage to Alaska, taking with him a party of men who wished to explore the new gold mines in that territory.
The Bluebell was supposed to have gone down in sight of the coast and only two of the survivors had thus far returned.
As time went by the little cottage, a poor affair at the best, was mortgaged to pay outstanding debts. It was the last of the Cromwell belongings.
Bob worked at the docks, handling freight. It was not what he had been brought up to, but it was the best employment he could obtain in the vicinity.
"I don't see what's to be done, Bob," said Mrs. Cromwell, during a lull in the storm. "We must move and I have only three dollars in all."
"Oh, I forgot!" he suddenly exclaimed, and pulled a ten-dollar bill from his pocket. "Here, mother, is a little to help us."
"Why, where in the world did you get that, Bob?" she ejaculated.
"A young gentleman gave it to me--insisted I should take it."
"He said I saved his life."
"And did you?"
"Well, I don't know--perhaps," mused Bob. "You see, it was Captain Randolph Sumner, the gentleman who owns that splendid new yacht down to Marcey's. He fell into the water right in front of the incoming steamer Flag, and I fished him out just as he was on the point of being struck. He was very grateful and made me keep the money, although I didn't want it and told him so."
That was all Bob said. He was too modest to mention that Randolph Sumner had called him a hero and that the crowd standing by had given him a cheer for his bravery.
"Ten dollars is a windfall," began Mrs. Cromwell. "Now if we--Gracious, the signal gun, Bob!"
Bob sprang up from the table. He knew that sound only too well.
"Ship has struck, mother!" he cried. "I must go down and see if I can help in any way."
And waiting for no reply, the youth grabbed up his cap and storm coat and rushed out into the storm.
Bob was right--a ship had struck. Away off through the mist and rain he could see the colored lights and the flash of the gun, calling for help.
The lifeboat men were already out and getting ready to launch their heavy craft.
"Look! look! The ship is going down!"
The cry thrilled everyone to the very heart. It was true. The stately ship was sinking fast. Down she went and came up again, once, twice --and then no more.
The lifeboat went out in a hurry, but it was of no avail. The storm had done its work and all on board had perished.
No, not all. Walking at the foot of the cliff a little later, Bob heard a low moan, and soon came upon the body of an aged seaman jammed in between the rocks. The man was fearfully bruised and did nothing but moan as the youth bore him up to the cottage.
Here he was made as comfortable as possible on a cot. It was an hour before he was able to open his eyes.
"Where am I?" he asked faintly. "Oh, the storm. I was hit in the back--I am dying; I know it. Take me to Mrs. Leon Cromwell."
At this utterance Mrs. Cromwell and Bob were both greatly astonished.
"I am Mrs. Cromwell, sir."
"You! It is not possible!"
"Mother tells the truth," put in Bob. "What do you want?"
"You are the wife of Leon Cromwell?"
"I am," said the woman.
"Heaven be praised! Who brought you to me?"
"I brought you to our cottage," returned Bob. "You lay unconscious on the rocks."
"It is the work of Providence," murmured the sufferer. "I was on my way hither when the storm overtook the Mary Lee. I--I--a drink--I am fainting!"
Water with brandy was brought and the man revived a little. He glared strangely at Mrs. Cromwell.
"I must speak quickly, for I am dying--I know it, feel it. I was sick on board; that's why I know. The doctor said I couldn't live, and the storm has only hastened matters. I want to talk to you about your husband."
"Is he alive?" came from mother and son simultaneously.
"He is--or was three months ago. At Zaruth, on the Siberian coast--where the stone chest was left--we--more drink--quick!"
Again the sufferer had a relapse.
"The stone chest caused the trouble. There was gold and silver, and after the wreck----"
"Never mind the gold and silver. Where is my husband?" interrupted Mrs. Cromwell.
"I was going to tell you. We started for--for----" The man gasped for breath. "It's my head. We started for the coast, when the people living there who had seen the stone chest, got together and--oh!"
The sufferer fell back in a spasm of pain, from which it was almost impossible to revive him. At last he spoke again.
"He was made a prisoner, and;--water, or I die--I can't drink--it is growing dark--the papers in my pocket are for you--and may Heaven forgive me!"
The man leaped almost to his feet, then fell back in another spasm. A minute later he was dead. With tenderness mother and son cared for the body. In one of the seaman's pockets was found a packet of papers yellow with age.
Bob opened the packet and looked over the paper with interest. An hour passed. Then the youth sprang to his feet.
"Mother, I am going to Cedar Island on the Siberian coast and to father's rescue!" he cried, with sudden determination.

Zeta Ret is IT
We stand for Industrial Technologies in the informational tech field. As most IT companies our main focus is Data Computing, Artificial Intelligence, Software, and Networking.
Zeta Ret specializes in software and web development, IT consulting, data analysis, digital marketing and administration.
We rely on classical methods of OOP design pattern programming, procedural code, automation, scripted animation, (no)SQL database, standard web technologies JS/HTML/CSS/PHP.
Types of Management
We support the following management methodologies of delivery, including source code, documentation or any legality:
A prototype typically simulates only a few aspects of the software program or legal model, and may be completely different from the final product. Usually incomplete versions are delivered for the purpose of feedback. Valuable prototypes may be reused for any agile cycle or new development.
Classical method of management. The waterfall model is a breakdown of project activities into linear sequential phases, where each phase depends on the deliverables of the previous one and corresponds to a specialization of tasks. The waterfall originates from the heavy industry or government layer.
The product is designed, implemented and tested incrementally until completion. It involves both development and maintenance. This model combines the elements of the Waterfall model with the iterative philosophy of Prototyping.
Usually defined by adaptive planning, evolutionary development, early delivery, continual improvement, encouraging rapid and flexible response to change. Agile delivery may reduce total price per hour.
- Apex Mechanics
Delivery based on the most superficial layer of observable results by end clients, effectively combines Agile and Incremental methods into a single hybrid morph. Appearances are prioritized.
Apex can integrate into heavier incremental models like Spiral, or agile frameworks as RAD.
Accessed digitally and/or physically, it extends nonlocality.
We use well-known strategies in the engineering industry including the 6 step plan in manufacturing:
1. Use more bio-based algorithms which are natural and visible in the human environment. Bio code is essential to classical object oriented design pattern programming and needs less mental energy to conduct a logical state by the developer. Thus making applications lighter and more efficient, reducing dependencies.
2. Use of static and lexical analysis based on tokenization software. Symbiotic bots are robots that work in tandem with humans, do mundane and repetitive tasks, and reduce workspace accidents like bugs, typos, lint scans.
3. Use of augmented workforce based on legal frameworks. Legal augments in virtual reality can teach developers new skills. This reduces the cost of training and increases productivity.
4. Use more printing capabilities, both in multi-dimensional graphs and legal task force like source code and documentation output. This method can generate customized solutions sold at higher rates.
5. Use blockchain, distributed version-control and subversion systems to improve supply chain management. Such systems render transparency and reveal faulty and fake data in time.
6. Use automation in designing systems based on machine learning and Artificial Intelligence.

Ripple said it plans to foray into the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and open an office in Dubai as the Emirate continues to emerge “as a key global financial hub for crypto innovation.” Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse announced the plans during the ongoing Dubai Fintech Summit on May 8.
Ripple CEO Applauds UAE’s Crypto Regulations
Brad Garlinghouse, Chief Executive Officer of Ripple, said the company intends to expand into Dubai, praising the UAE’s recent efforts to regulate the crypto sector. Garlinghouse announced the plan during the Dubai Fintech Summit on Monday.
“With 20% of our customers based in MENA and clear regulatory regimes being developed, it’s no surprise that Dubai is emerging as a key global financial hub for crypto innovation to thrive.”
– Garlinhouse said.
The move shouldn’t come as a surprise given that the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is one of the key markets for Ripple, with roughly 20% of RippleNet customers based there. Those include Qatar National Bank, Lulu Financial Holdings, Al-Ansari Exchange, and SABB, among others.
Ripple will open a new office location in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) as part of the expansion. Further, the crypto solutions firm will also hold the seventh edition of its annual customer conference in Dubai later this year.
DIFC is hosting the first-ever Dubai Fintech Summit on May 8 and May 9, which brought together more than 5,000 global fintech executives and technology professionals to discuss the latest innovations and challenges in the sector. Among others, crypto exchange Coinbase also participated in the summit. Its CEO said the UAE could serve as a hub for the Middle Eastern region and some parts of Africa and Asia.
Ripple Says It Will Cost $200M to Defend Itself in Court
Ripple’s plans to expand into Dubai come despite the company’s never-ending battle with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Earlier this month, Garlinghouse said his company will have spent $200 million defending itself in court from the securities regulator.
The dispute emerged in December 2020 when the SEC sued Ripple for breaching US securities laws by selling its native token, XRP, without previously registering it with the regulator. Ripple denied the SEC’s accusations, claiming that XRP should be treated as a digital currency rather than a security.
Similarly, the SEC informed Coinbase of its plans to sue the crypto exchange over an alleged security regulations breach. Coinbase delisted XRP after the SEC unveiled its legal actions against Ripple.

A new study conducted by Juniper Research predicts a substantial increase in global spending on regulatory technology (regtech) by financial institutions and other industries. According to the study, regtech spend is projected to rise by 124% between 2023 and 2028, reaching a staggering $207 billion.
The surge in regtech spending can be attributed to the growing complexity of regulatory requirements, which is pushing corporations to adopt innovative technologies that facilitate compliance. One notable trend is the use of shared blockchain ledgers to enhance anti-money laundering efforts and fraud compliance in cryptocurrency exchanges. Additionally, natural language processing is being leveraged to identify malicious actors in emails and phone calls, effectively uncovering misconduct, conflicts of interest, and financial crimes. As more organizations embrace these advanced technologies, we can expect to see a significant increase in enterprise investments as they recognize the immense efficiencies that regtech can offer.
Regtech, a subset of fintech, focuses specifically on technologies that enable the delivery of regulatory requirements more efficiently and effectively than existing capabilities.
To shed light on the leading regtech vendors, Juniper Research also released its Competitor Leaderboard for 2023. The rankings were determined using a robust scoring methodology that evaluated factors such as solution innovation, industry support, and future business prospects. The top five vendors for 2023 were identified as follows: Encompass; Socure
Feedzai; Chainalysis; Fenergo.
These top vendors stood out by offering streamlined identity verification processes automated by artificial intelligence (AI). Additionally, they successfully positioned themselves across various industries, demonstrating that regtech is expanding beyond the realm of financial services. In order to maintain their competitive edge, regtech vendors must continue to develop solutions that harness the power of AI and machine learning, particularly in automating processes like identity verification.
By leveraging AI, the most successful regtech vendors can reduce the manual workload required by compliance teams, allowing them to focus on tasks that require human judgment. This not only lowers costs but also significantly increases productivity, which is particularly valuable in a time of heightened cost pressures.
As the world becomes increasingly regulated, organizations across industries are recognizing the need for efficient and effective compliance solutions. The projected surge in regtech spending, coupled with the adoption of AI and machine learning, presents a promising future for the industry, paving the way for enhanced regulatory compliance and streamlined operations on a global scale.

Jan. 6 Committee Hearings Jun 10, 2022 19:11:13 GMT
Post by Admin on Jun 10, 2022 19:11:13 GMT
Former President Donald Trump on Friday discounted his own daughter’s testimony that the 2020 presidential election results were not fraudulent.
“Ivanka Trump was not involved in looking at, or studying, Election results. She had long since checked out and was, in my opinion, only trying to be respectful to Bill Barr and his position as Attorney General (he sucked!),” Trump posted on Truth Social, the social media platform he helped found.
Trump’s rebuke of his daughter comes on the heels of Thursday’s Jan. 6 select committee hearing, where lawmakers showed recorded interviews with Ivanka Trump, former Attorney General William Barr and Trump campaign advisers testifying that the former president had indeed lost the 2020 election. The House panel took a back seat at its first hearing, allowing Trump allies to illustrate the then-president’s attempt to overturn the election results and any connection he had to Jan. 6, 2021 — when a mob of the former president’s supporters stormed the Capitol building.
Additional interviews shown at Thursday’s hearing included other Trump aides testifying that they told the then-president there wasn’t enough evidence of fraud to overturn the election as well as interviews with a half-dozen members of the Jan. 6 mob who said they went to the Capitol that day because Trump asked them to. The House select committee emphasized that there is much more testimony to come in the five remaining hearings across the next two weeks and that it has obtained powerful visuals as evidence.

Yahoo’s ‘Twinning’ Ad Strategy
Right now, digital media is caught between two poles. On the one extreme, the commoditizers are wringing efficiencies out of the glut of display advertising by applying data and automation. At the other end, publishers and platforms are seeking to move beyond standard display ads with so-called “native” ads that hope the elusive promise of commanding premium pricing.
That puts a traditional display ad powerhouse like Yahoo in an interesting position. Rather than choose one side, it hopes to opt for both under its revamped sales strategy crafted by Henrique De Castro, the Google veteran who has now spent eight months as Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer’s handpicked choice to reinvigorate Yahoo on the ad front.
De Castro, speaking in Cannes last week, where he shuttled to up to 10 meetings a day with key clients, said much of his early months were spent listening to agencies and brands. The most recurring message: “They wanted a clear vision for the future.”
That vision in advertising comes down to splitting the difference between the audience data side and the content side. Yahoo hopes to position itself directly in the middle with what De Castro is calling a “twinning” strategy. Yes, run “native” ads with Yahoo that take the form of its new “stream ads” format that takes the look and feel of editorial content, but pair those with audience-targeted banner buys. Too often, De Castro believes, the industry swings too far in one direction. At the moment, it’s firmly in the audience camp over content.
“The industry now realizes that content and context matter,” De Castro said. “We believe in twinning display and native display.”
The Google veteran takes his cues from search. The promise for display — perhaps impossible — is to devise an ad system that works like search. In search, all parties arguably win out. The user gets better results, in many instances, thanks to an auction that rewards relevant ads and penalizes bad ones. The advertiser gets measurable impact and interested consumers. And Google, well, Google always wins.
So far, for myriad reasons, that’s been elusive in display advertising, which is simply far more fractured than search. Add in the complications of mobile, and it’s an even harder problem to solve. One sign of the failure to solve display is the overabundance of display ads. With standardized display drawing low rates, many publishers have turned to more as the answer. Yahoo was no exception. De Castro said the portal is working to greatly cut down on the number of ads per page.
“The industry is showing you 10 ads at a bad CPM,” he said, “instead of one impactful ad at a $9 CPM.”

A tragic incident has taken place in Maharashtra’s suburban Andheri as one of the filmmakers in Bollywood Santosh Gupta, her wife and daughter have allegedly committed suicide as they light themselves on fire.
Who was Asmita Gupta
The neighbours nearby noticed the whole incident and called for the fire brigade respectively. They were taken to the cooper hospital nearby but unfortunately, they didn’t survive as they suffered from severe burns which were evident throughout their bodies, 70% burns to be exact as Airoli national burns centre declared it on Tuesday.
The mother was suffering through a prolonged kidney ailment for some years which pushed her to take her own life, and her daughter took her life because she couldn’t bear the fact that her mother is suffering such an illness and they both decided to tale their life which is pretty saddening to hear.

(The Hill) – The IRS will begin paying 5% guaranteed interest to individuals with late tax returns starting in July, up one percentage point from the last rate hike that took effect in April.
The agency will also pay 4% interest on delayed corporate tax returns, 5% on underpayments on tax returns, and 7% on “large corporate underpayments.” , the IRS said Friday.
The federal government regularly spends billions of dollars in profits on delayed returns. The IRS has paid out nearly $14 billion in refund interest over the past seven fiscal years, according to a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report released in April.
The GAO estimates such payments totaled $3.3 billion in fiscal year 2021 alone.
“The IRS does not identify, monitor, and mitigate problems that contribute to the return of interest. Accordingly, the IRS is missing out on an opportunity to reduce costs,” the watchdog report said.
The number of late filings, still in the tens of millions, has skyrocketed during the pandemic as the IRS has closed facilities and redirected resources to administering benefits like the child tax credit.
By law, the agency has 45 days to process a refund. The agency says it will receive 90% of the refund within three weeks.
“The IRS is reviewing 13 million unprocessed tax returns and more than 26 million tax returns awaiting further IRS action,” Representative Tom Rice (RS.C.) told the House Ways and Means subcommittee hearing. on taxpayer equity earlier this week. “At the same time, IRS phone service levels are near all-time lows, making it nearly impossible to contact an IRS agent for help with tax or audit issues.”
Some Democrats have campaigned for more IRS funding while accusing Republicans of obstructing the agency from maintaining de facto tax privileges due to uneven enforcement. .
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) said: “I will get to the heart of the matter for families whose refunds may be delayed due to the IRS backlog, ” Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) said in a statement in April. “If you’ve been frustrated by the IRS’s poor customer service, you’ve had years of Republicans cutting off liability for the agency’s inability to live up to your expectations.”
“For all the talk of running government more like a business, Republicans seem to want to turn government into a dysfunctional business that never has a repeat customer. .”
Meanwhile, Republicans fear that increased funding for the IRS will result in tens of thousands of federal employees focusing on tax enforcement.
“President Biden’s plan to give the IRS $80 billion in additional mandatory funding and 87,000 new IRS agents will result in significantly higher audit rates for all Americans of all income levels, according to the Office of Congressional Budget Office,” House Ways and Means Republicans said in a statement Wednesday.
Representative Bill Pascrell (DN.J.), chairman of the House Ways and Means Oversight Subcommittee, has called for the resignation of IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig, a Trump appointee.
“Mr. Rettig had a lot of time and a lot of cooperation to begin the important work of fixing the IRS. There needs to be real accountability. President Joe Biden must replace Mr. Rettig immediately and also nominate. a Chief Counsel to the IRS,” Pascrell said last week.

U.S. retail sales beat expectations; weekly jobless claims still elevated
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. retail sales increased more than expected in June, but a resurgence in new COVID-19 cases is chipping at the budding recovery, keeping 32 million Americans on unemployment benefits.
The second straight monthly increase in retail sales reported by the Commerce Department on Thursday did not change expectations that the economy suffered its deepest contraction in the second quarter since the Great Depression. The economy slipped into recession in February.
A report from the Federal Reserve on Wednesday cautioned the economic outlook was “highly uncertain” and depended on the duration of the pandemic. New cases of the respiratory illness have exploded, especially in the densely populated South and West, forcing some authorities in these regions to either close businesses again or pause reopenings.
“Sadly, the alarming trajectory of the virus nationwide has put in question the sustainability of the recovery in consumption,” said Lydia Boussour, a senior U.S. economist at Oxford Economics in New York. “Real-time data indicate that demand is faltering in states where the health situation has deteriorated the most.”
Retail sales rose 7.5% last month after jumping 18.2% in May, which was the biggest gain since the government started tracking the series in 1992. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast retail sales advancing 5% in June.
Retail sales have rebounded as businesses resumed operations after being shuttered in mid-March in an effort to slow the spread of the coronavirus. Retail sales in June were driven by a 8.2% increase in receipts at auto dealerships.
Sales at service stations jumped 15.3%, boosted by higher gasoline prices. Receipts at electronics and appliance stores increased 37.4%. Sales at clothing stores vaulted 105.1%. Sales at furniture stores advanced 32.5%.
Receipts at restaurants and bars shot up 20.0% and spending at hobby, musical instrument and book stores increased 26.5%. But online and mail-order retail sales fell 2.4%. Sales at building material stores dipped 0.3% and receipts at grocery stores fell 1.6%.
U.S. business inventories post record drop in May
Stocks on Wall Street opened lower amid worries about the sky-rocketing coronavirus cases. The dollar was steady against a basket of currencies. U.S. Treasury prices rose.
Excluding automobiles, gasoline, building materials and food services, retail sales rose 5.6% in June after increasing 10.1% in May. These so-called core retail sales correspond most closely with the consumer spending component of the gross domestic product report.
Economists expect consumer spending, which accounts for more than two-thirds of U.S. economic activity, could decline at as much as a 37% annualized rate in the second quarter. That could result in GDP falling at around a 36% pace in that period. The economy shrank at a 5% pace in the January-March quarter, the sharpest contraction since the 2007-2009 Great Recession.
A separate report from the Labor Department on Thursday showed 1.30 million people filed for state unemployment benefits during the week ending July 11, slightly down from 1.31 million in the prior period.
Economists had forecast 1.250 million applications last week. First-time claims peaked at a historic 6.867 million in late March. Even now, they remain roughly double their highest point during the 2007-09 Great Recession. Including a program funded by the government, 2.23 million people filed claims last week.
The number of people receiving benefits after an initial week of aid fell 422,000 to 17.338 million in the week ending July 4. These so-called continued claims, which are reported with a one-week lag, topped out at a record 24.912 million in early May.
There were 32 million people receiving unemployment checks under all programs in the last week of June, down 433,005 from the prior week. According to economists, this number, which is reported with a two-week lag, offered a more accurate reading of the labor market.
Economists say unemployment remains uncomfortably high because of a second wave of layoffs, which could intensify as the COVID-19 infections depress demand and increase bankruptcies, especially in the retail sector.
“Claims add to the evidence that the recovery may be stalling and come at a critical juncture in the crisis as COVID-19 cases rise around the country and expanded unemployment benefits for Americans are set to expire,” said Daniel Zhao, senior economist at Glassdoor. “The risk of a surprise drop in employment in July is rising, pointing to a rollercoaster recovery as the labor market starts to turn down again.”
Millions are set to lose their unemployment checks on July 31 when the government stops paying an additional $600 per week to jobless self-employed people, gig workers and contractors who do not qualify for regular state unemployment benefits. Economists have warned the end of these checks would undercut retail sales and overall consumer spending.

THE NUCLEAR AGE
A PARENT’S DUTY For those not in the know, instead of explaining the entire history of the universe (which includes the previous
installments), we’ll sum it up for you: it’s a game that is based on a post-apocalyptic future, where nuclear war has devastated the world. With that said, however, takes a stand in being different, with an opening sequence that gives players a glimpse of life before the war, up till the point where you are ushered to the VaultTec bunker, when it all went horribly wrong.
As with all titles, you assume the role of a member of Vault 111 (which is located in Boston, Massachusetts), but one with a familial twist. Your character is the Sole Survivor (also the default reference of your in-game character) of a cryostasis experiment, who awakens 200 odd years after the war between the U.S and China. Your spouse, who was in the cryo pod opposite you, was murdered, and your infant son was kidnapped in the process. FIGHTING TO SURVIVE Much like the recent two installments, combat system is a shooter with an interchangeable first-person and third-person view. Of course, many of the established pillars were also given a facelift. Of these, the combat pillar is perhaps the one aspect of the series that has been reworked many times over the course of the game’s development, so much so that Bethesda actually roped in id Software to help create a more fluid combat experience. This resulted in a combat system that plays very much like only instead of killing demons, you’re killing feral ghouls, Deathclaws, and all manners of irradiated creatures.
Even the game’s titular S.P.E.C.I.A.L and perks chart has been significantly changed, and combined into a single interactive and animated chart. Unlike the previous two
titles, however, both the S.P.E.C.I.A.L perks and skills under the respective pillar now share the same skill point gained from each level, which means that players must carefully consider their character build, more so than before.
also adds a new pillar: weapons and armor customization, as well as building settlements. During gameplay, players can modify and change the characteristics of items via the use of dedicated workbenches. For example, players can modify a pistol or rifle’s caliber, improve their accuracy, or in the case of energy weapons, completely convert them from a one-handed pistol into a full-functioning laser rifle.
Building settlements is essentially a mini-game that enables you to harvest food and unlock special support actions from them, such as calling in an artillery strike on unsuspecting targets. Last but not least is the size of the map. Despite being a radiated wasteland, Bethesda managed to do an exemplary job in keeping the Commonwealth more vibrant in colors than the

Seton Hall basketball 2021-22 preview: reasons to hope & mope, must-see games, prediction
The Pirates are loaded with talent. Will it all come together?
In college basketball previews, it’s fashionable to cite a certain player as “the X-factor,” the hard-to-project talent who could make a huge difference.
For Seton Hall, it’s the entire team. The 2021-22 Pirates are the X-factor in the Big East. Leaning on three transfers in point guard Kadary Richmond (Syracuse), guard Jamir Harris (American) and forward Alexis Yetna (South Florida), the Pirates are loaded with both ability and uncertainty.
“The biggest place where we’re behind right now is just learning where our weapons are,” coach Kevin Willard said. “This team, when you look out there at times, you have five guys who can all shoot the ball and can all put the ball on the ground. It’s a matter of figuring out, when do I know where my guys are?”
In other words: This is a chemistry experiment.
Related: Hall romps in exhibition without injured Rhoden
“I’m still trying to figure out all these guys, what we can run and where to put them,” Willard said.
Here’s a preview of the season, which tips Wednesday, 7 p.m. vs. Fairleigh Dickinson at the Prudential Center (masks or proof of vaccination are required of fans attending).
Three reasons to hope
1. There are many weapons
The roster is loaded with difference-makers. There are probably five players with All-Big East potential. Senior Jared Rhoden is one of the better wings in the country, Richmond is on the radar of NBA scouts, there are three shot-making postgrad guards who’ve been through the wars, there are three bigs who can knock down threes and run the floor, and there is the Big East’s top shot-blocker. Under Willard, only the 2016 squad that won the Big East Tournament had this kind of firepower.
2. There is depth
Willard traditionally prefers a smaller rotation, but when everyone’s healthy, this Hall squad is going 10 deep. Every position has a serviceable backup. That ought to really help a player like postgrad guard Bryce Aiken, who can do immense damage but, given his injury history, seems better suited to play in spurts as opposed to extended minutes. There might be games when both Aiken and postgrad wing Myles Cale come off the bench. That’s an option many coaches would love to have.
3. There are statement opportunities
A tough non-conference schedule can cut both ways, but with Michigan, Ohio State, Texas and Rutgers on the docket, the Pirates can build their resume, sharpen their toughness and grow the brand. In the Big East era, Seton Hall never has had a non-conference homestand with as much juice as December’s Texas-Rutgers two-fer. With fans back, the vibe should be off the charts.
Related:SHU women's hoops has firepower, but needs help
Three reasons to mope
Raising this concern does not imply that players don’t get along. There is no reason to believe they don’t. It’s an acknowledgement that connected man-to-man defense and good ball movement require certain levels of familiarity that take time to achieve. Based on limited glimpses this preseason, the Pirates don’t appear to be there yet, especially on defense. With three transfers in prominent roles and so many capable scorers, role allocation will be critical.
Seton Hall has not rebounded well since Angel Delgado graduated in 2018. Size is not the issue. When your bigs are taking long shots, you’re vulnerable on the glass. There has to be a balance for 6-foot-10 guys like Tyrese Samuel and Tray Jackson, and the Hall’s taller guards must chip in as well. The only proven rebounders on the roster are Yetna and Rhoden. It could be a weakness yet again.
Related: Hall's Yetna primed 'to shock everybody'
The Pirates are off to a rough start in this all-important category. Rhoden is out with a sprained ankle, Aiken already has endured another ankle sprain (although he’s back now), backup guard Jahari Long is toughing out a knee injury and prized freshman wing Brandon Weston is still making is way back from ACL surgery eight months ago. Richmond missed most of the offseason with multiple ailments. The dark cloud from the past few years remains in place.
Five Must-See Games
At Michigan, Nov. 16: These teams have met just twice: the 1989 NCAA Tournament final decided by a phantom foul and an 11-point Michigan win the following December. The Wolverines have dodged the Hall since, but the Gavitt Games are bringing them together at long last. It’s a tough task; sixth-ranked Michigan is loaded and this is the first big game for returning fans.
Texas at home, Dec. 9: The Longhorns are ranked fifth in the preseason AP Top 25. This could wind up being the highest-ranked non-conference foe Seton Hall’s ever hosted (it’s currently No. 2 Michigan State in 2000). For the record: Willard went 1-0 against Longhorns coach Chris Beard during the latter’s Texas Tech days.
Rutgers at home, Dec. 12: After a year off and much wrangling, the Garden State Hardwood Classic returns with a flourish. Rutgers hasn’t won at the Prudential Center since 2012-13. The last game there, in 2018, there were five technical fouls. This could be the Scarlet Knights’ best team since the 1976 Final Four squad. Interesting to note: Unlike with Villanova’s visit, Seton Hall hasn’t put tickets up for public sale and is highly unlikely to open the upper deck.
Villanova at home, Jan. 1: This rare CBS broadcast, tipping at 2 p.m., projects to have a crowd in the 15,000 range. The third-ranked Wildcats should be superb as usual, but the Hall has a habit of playing them tooth and nail. You could make a case it’s become the Big East’s most exciting series.
Connecticut at home, Jan. 8: This will be the first “real” homecoming for Seton Hall alum Dan Hurley, and the first chance for a packed house of Pirate faithful to welcome back the Big East’s prodigal program. The Huskies are ranked 24th, these squads split last season, and UConn fans travel well. High-intensity matchup.
The Hall unquestionably upgraded its roster in the offseason. There’s enough talent to make the NCAA Tournament, but how far can this team advance? It’s hard to forecast just how well the pieces will fit. Safe to say this group could be much more cohesive in March than it is now, but there could be some kinks along the way. It won’t be boring, that’s for sure.
Projected record: 19-12 (11-9 Big East, 8-3 non-conference) and an 8 or 9 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
