Home Office probes corruption claim asylum cases
Last updated at 13:54 28 July 2006
An unknown number of successful asylum seekers could now see their cases reviewed following claims that the employee was helping people remain in Britain for cash.
The man at the centre of the inquiry, named by The Sun as Joseph Dzumbira, 35, allegedly boasted that he had helped a "couple of hundred" asylum seekers.
Mr Dzumbira, who worked at a Home Office centre in Croydon, south London, was himself an asylum seeker from Zimbabwe, the paper claimed today.
But the Home Office said the "individual concerned" only worked as an interpreter and was not in a position to approve asylum claims.
A spokeswoman added that he had been suspended and could now face criminal charges.
Yesterday Home Secretary John Reid said any allegation of corruption was taken "very seriously" and investigated.
Root out corruption
He said: "We have got around 250 under investigation at the moment. Thirty people have been disciplined and 20 referred to prosecution.
"Part of our reform plan for the IND (Immigration and Nationality Directorate) is to root out corruption.
"If anyone knows of any corrupt practices, let us know and we will investigate them."
Keith Best, director of the independent Immigration Advisory Service, blamed the system, which he said allowed corruption to take place.
He said: "That is why there needs to be a root-and-branch examination of how people apply and how decisions are taken so there is less capacity for people in IND and overseas posts to persuade people to part with their money."
He added: "Most people making these visa and asylum applications are vulnerable and come from countries where corruption is endemic, making them easy pickings for the unscrupulous."
Out of control
Following the first claims of a corruption racket on Wednesday, the Conservatives said the immigration system was "completely out of control".
Mr Dzumbira, of Southend, Essex, allegedly told an undercover reporter he charged up to £2,000 for helping people to get refugee status.
The Sun reported he also claimed he helped asylum seekers pretend they were Zimbabweans because of a ban on deporting people back to Robert Mugabe's regime.
Last night a Home Office spokeswoman said: "A criminal investigation is under way. The individual concerned works as an interpreter and has provided services as required for the Home Office.
"He is not an immigration officer nor does he work in a position of seniority in the Home Office.
"He has been suspended from working for the Home Office while the investigation is ongoing and the individual is not in a position to vet or decide asylum claims.
"All previous cases in which this individual has had any involvement will be reviewed."
Series of scandals
The allegations were the latest in a series of scandals at the Home Office department.
The most serious was the IND's failure to consider more than 1,000 foreign national prisoners for deportation.
The fiasco led to the sacking of former Home Secretary Charles Clarke.
Shortly after Mr Reid took over at the Home Office, it emerged that five illegal immigrants had been employed as cleaners at the immigration headquarters.
Earlier this year, a former administration officer at Lunar House went public on what he claimed was a "sex for visas" scandal, in which attractive women were offered help to stay in Britain in exchange for sexual favours.
An internal Home Office inquiry did not find evidence of the sex for visas claim but did conclude that immigration staff engaged in "unprofessional behaviour".
An investigation is currently under way into further allegations, revealed in May, that an immigration officer offered to help a teenage asylum seeker in return for sex.
In 2004 there was a succession of revelations about "backlog-clearing exercises" and waivers on security checks on Eastern European applicants, which led to the resignation of then Immigration Minister Beverley Hughes.

Government scrap 3p fuel increase due in August
The government will not go ahead with the 3p per litre rise in duel duty in August
The government will not go ahead with the 3p per litre rise in fuel duty in August. Even though there will be no increase it is only a postponement until January next year. The decision follows a campaign by road users' groups, who argued the increase would damage the economy.
RAC Foundation director Professor Stephen Glaister said "this is good news for drivers and good news for the country. Given that tax makes up around 60% of the pump price, falls in the price of oil were only ever going to go so far in easing the financial burden on motorists."
Quentin Wilson, national spokesman for FairFuelUK, said "this is democracy at its very best where a government and a chancellor can review decisions, and act with fairness and common sense. Businesses and hard-working families across this country will breathe a grateful sigh of relief, at least for the rest of this year." FairFuelUK is supported by over a quarter of a million members of the public and was created by road hauliers and motoring organisations as a result of spiralling fuel costs which have a devastating impact on haulage businesses, their customers and ultimately everyone through the prices on the shelves.
The FairFuelUK Campaign began as a result of the cost of fuel soaring over the course of 2011, and has been campaigning against the threat that the government was set to raise fuel duty by 3.02 pence per litre on 1 August 2012.

Dario di Vietri is guest singer at State Opera Stara ZagoraEuropost
On 10 July, Opera at the Stadium will celebrate its fifth birthday with the staging of Aida. With this performance, the Stara Zagora Opera joins the world celebrations of the 150th anniversary since the premiere of this magnificent work by Giuseppe Verdi. The opera will be presented with the special participation of Dario di Vietri in one of his star roles - Radames, which has brought him much success.
The world-famous tenor has participated many times in the remarkable production of Franco Zeffirelli at the Arena di Verona, he was a guest in the mega production of the Polish National Opera in Dubai, in 2019 he sang at the Egyptian Pyramids of Giza, and at the end of May 2021 he played the role of Radames again in the production of Cairo Opera House, which was also dedicated to the 150th anniversary since the first performance of this spectacular opera.
Dario di Vietri always comes back to Bulgaria with a very warm feeling and never misses sharing his friendly attitude towards his colleagues and the staff of Stara Zagora Opera. Now he comes to the city of Stara Zagora after an engagement in several thematic opera gala performances at the Cartagena International Music Festival in Colombia. Italian critics describe him as one of the most remarkable realities of the Italian tenor panorama as well as one of the few singers privileged to have a voice for those roles written for true Italian lyrical tenors, who are characterised by beautiful timbre, brilliant tops, elegance of the musical phrase, combined with purity and spontaneity.
Dario di Vietri debuted as Radames at the Kazan Festival in 2015. Years afterwards, he continued to look for new colours and new ways to refine his interpretation. He was born in Bari. He met Luciano Pavarotti when he was only 16, after a concert performed by the great tenor, and then he asked him if he would agree to teach him. Pavarotti agreed and started working with the young singer without taking money for his lectures. Vietri studied later at the Conservatory of Milan in the class of Vittorio Terranova and immediately afterwards he continued as a student of the School of Italian Opera at Teatro Comunale of Bologna. The true turning point in his musical training came in 2012, thanks to his work with the mezzo-soprano Bruna Baglioni, who has been his mentor to this day. In 2009-2010, he made his debut as Pinkerton in Madama Butterfly at the opera in Lombardy. Since the summer of 2014, he has participated in various productions at Arena di Verona, where he debuted as Calaf in Turandot with conductor Daniel Oren and director Franco Zeffirelli.

The biggest comeback in NCAA Division I history happened in 2006, when Michigan State rallied and scored 38 unanswered points to beat Northwestern 41–38.
Michigan State had fallen behind 38–3 with 9:54 left in the third quarter. The Spartans were down 38–17 at the end of the third quarter.
Quarterback Drew Stanton re-entered in the fourth, leading the team back. A blocked punt returned by Ashton Henderson for a touchdown in the fourth helped chip away at the lead.
With the game tied in the fourth quarter, Brett Swenson hit a 28-yard field goal to win.
The two teams finished the year at 4–8 each.
Most recently, UCLA pulled off the second-biggest comeback in FBS history when the Bruins came back from a 34-point deficit to beat Texas A&M 45–44 in 2017.

Facebook, Inc. (NASDAQ:FB) recently fell victim to what was arguably its worst PR incident ever after a whistle-blower exposed a data leak that happened in 2015 regarding political analytics firm Cambridge Analytica.
A few weeks later, Facebook reported what was arguably its best earnings report ever.
Facebook reported its best financial results ever against the backdrop of its worst PR incident ever. That is shocking. More importantly, it’s a testament to just how powerful and necessary the Facebook machine has become.
As such, Facebook stock has rallied off its post-Cambridge Analytica lows of $150 to trade in the $180’s. That is right around where it was trading prior to the data leak news hitting the wire.
Have you missed the rally?
Hardly. This was just a rebound. A minor blip in the overall upward trajectory for Facebook stock.
This upward trajectory will persist. Facebook stock is supported by some of the strongest fundamentals in the market, with a big growth narrative converging on a relatively discounted valuation. That creates a compelling opportunity to buy and hold FB stock for the long-run.
Facebook is so massive that it has become an integral part of how the internet functions, and it is poised not only to grow more, but to provide more services in one place — and the markets are not currently valuing it this way.
Here’s an in-depth look at why Facebook stock is a must-own here and now:
1. 2 out of 3 People Who Can Have a Facebook Account, Do Have a Facebook Account
Perhaps the most important and most attractive thing about Facebook is its size.
The social media behemoth has 2.2 billion monthly active users. The world has about 7.6 billion people, and of those, only roughly 4.1 billion have access to the internet. About 800 million of those internet users are in China, where Facebook is blocked. Therefore, the global internet population that has legal access to Facebook numbers around 3.3 billion.
Again, Facebook has 2.2 billion monthly active users. That means that essentially 2 out of every 3 people in the world that can have a Facebook, do have a Facebook account.
Facebook is on its own playing field in terms of global size, reach and scale.
And that doesn’t even consider Facebook’s newly minted “Family of Apps”. Those 2.2 billion monthly active users are on the core Facebook platform alone. Facebook has another 1.5 billion monthly users on WhatsApp, 1.3 billion monthly users on Messenger, and 800 million monthly users on Instagram.
Put it all together, and that is 5.8 billion users. Granted, there is heavy overlap between users, so it isn’t 5.8 billion distinct users. But the entire Facebook ecosystem essentially acts like and has the power of a platform that has 5.8 billion combined monthly users because what matters isn’t distinct users, but rather, the number of eyeballs you capture and for how long you capture them (if a user goes from Facebook to Messenger to Instagram, that same user will have used 3 different apps, but stayed within the Facebook ecosystem the whole time).
2. Facebook Is the Internet ID
In many senses, Facebook’s massive size is its greatest asset. Because it is so big, Facebook has become an irreplaceable part of the internet.
I like to think of Facebook as the internet ID. In the physical world, everyone has a physical ID that they use to identify themselves and get into places. If you are walking into a bank, they ask for your ID to confirm identity. If you get pulled over by the cops, they also ask for your ID. And if you want to a drink at a restaurant or a bar, chances are they will be asking for your ID, too.
Facebook is exactly this for the digital world. Facebook is your digital ID, complete with a profile picture, life details like birth-date and workplace, and a list of friends and recent activity. Because of this, it has all the information and data that anyone needs to identify you. Also, because everyone has a Facebook, it is a universal means for digital identification.
This is why there are so many “Login with Facebook” options across the internet.
Streaming music platform Spotify Technology SA (NYSE:SPOT) uses “Login with Facebook”. So does dating app Tinder — owned by Match Group Inc (NASDAQ:MTCH). As do ride-sharing app Uber, rent-sharing app Airbnb, social payments platform Venmo — owned by Paypal Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:PYPL), professional networking site LinkedIn — owned by Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT), sports news platform ESPN (a Walt Disney Co (NYSE:DIS) property), and many, many more.
They all use this feature because: 1) it is easier, 2) everyone has a Facebook, 3) is it arguably more secure, and 4) Facebook has all the data in the world that any of them need in order to get started on creating a personalized account for new users. It doesn’t matter that Facebook is in direct competition with some of these companies. That’s how vital Facebook has become.
From this perspective, it is easy to see how Facebook’s size and data have allowed it become to the internet’s ID. In doing so, Facebook has become part of the underlying fabric of the internet.
Moreover, because Facebook’s database is so large, the company has indeed become an irreplaceable part of the internet. Facebook has relevant information data on more than 2 billion people globally. Until another platform can rival that scale, Facebook is irreplaceable.
3. Facebook’s Size Is Also Its Greatest Financial Weapon
From a financial perspective, Facebook’s size is so important for two reasons: 1) unparalleled reach and 2) unparalleled targeting abilities. All advertisers want is the most bang for their buck, and that means max reach with max engagement. Facebook is the only platform that maximizes both due to its size.
On a raw basis, its 2 billion-plus user base is unrivaled, and naturally, Facebook offers the most global reach for advertisers. On a deeper lever, Facebook has a lot of data on 2 billion people-plus, and can use that unparalleled database to create unparalleled targeted advertising solutions. Thus, Facebook’s size allows it to offer advertisers max reach with max engagement, a combination which has allowed Facebook to dominate other social media peers in the digital advertising space.
Moreover, Facebook’s size makes it a successful imitator. Case and point: Instagram Stories and WhatsApp Status. Snap Inc (NYSE:SNAP) was killing Facebook for several years and teens were ditching Facebook and flocking to Snapchat. Then, Facebook cloned Snapchat’s core feature, Stories, and put it into its app ecosystem.
The net result was that because of the initial size of Instagram and WhatsApp, Instagram Stories and WhatsApp Status became huge hits. Now, Facebook is behind the two largest Stories platforms in the world.
Facebook’s size allows it do this replication in essentially any space, and be successful in doing so. That is why Facebook Dating poses a meaningful threat to Match Group Inc (NASDAQ:MTCH), and why Facebook can jump into almost any business that it wants to.
4. Facebook User Growth Is High in Low Internet Penetration Markets
A lot of folks are concerned that the growth in Facebook’s user base has stalled out. While the numbers support this slowing growth trend, I don’t think it’s fair to say that Facebook is done growing its user base.
User growth has come down from 30% to 20% to 15% and lower over the past several years. But that is simply a result of the law of large numbers. Once you get to a point where 2 out of every 3 internet users is on your platform, user growth is naturally going to slow.
But don’t underestimate the global internet growth narrative.
Roughly 95% of the entire North American population is on the internet. That is a maxed out market. As such, Facebook’s US & Canada monthly user base grew by only 3% last quarter.
Europe also has a pretty high internet penetration rate of 85%. That is also a maxed out market. Not surprisingly, Facebook’s Europe monthly user base growth was also weak. It grew just 7% last quarter.
Everywhere else, however, is a completely different story.
Asia’s internet penetration rate is below 50%, while Facebook’s Asia-Pacific monthly user base grew by an impressive 22% last quarter.
In other parts of the world, the internet penetration rate is right around 50%, which is why Facebook’s Rest of World monthly user base grew by 12% last quarter.
Overall, what we see is not too surprising. In markets where internet penetration is high, Facebook user growth is slow, around 3-7%. But in geographies where internet penetration is still low and growing, Facebook user growth is still strong, in the 10% to 20%-plus range.
5. Facebook Could Hit 3 Billion Users Soon
The global internet penetration rate is just 55%, miles below North America’s rate of 95%. Presumably, internet usage globally is only growing, and that 55% global rate will continue to grind higher towards 95%. As that happens, Facebook’s total addressable market will expand. If Facebook can maintain its share in that growing market, then Facebook’s user base could easily keep growing at a healthy rate for the next 5-10 years.
How much bigger can it get?
Well, it is unlikely global internet penetration rates hit North America levels, but a 70% rate seems achievable in 5-10 years. Assuming global population heads towards 8 billion, then that would imply 5.6 billion global internet users, including China. Assuming Facebook maintains a roughly 53% penetration rate among global internet users (including China), then you are looking at nearly 3 billion Facebook users in 5-10 years.
And that doesn’t even include the billion-plus users on WhatsApp and Messenger, and the nearly billion users on Instagram. Thanks to global internet expansion, those numbers will head higher, as well.
6. Messenger and WhatsApp Give The Advertising Business a Lot of Unused Firepower
User growth through global internet usage expansion is a promising growth driver for Facebook stock going forward.
But it isn’t the only one.
Indeed, Facebook stock’s explosion in 2015, 2016, and 2017 from $80 to $180 was largely driven by a ramp in monetization trends. Namely, Facebook started monetizing Instagram, and that added extra firepower to average revenue per user (ARPU) growth.
For the longest time, Facebook wasn’t making any money from Instagram. It was just a platform with a ton of users but not many ads and not much money running through the system.
Then, in 2015, Facebook decided to get serious about putting ads on Instagram and making money from the platform. I remember the initial gut reaction from users was: “Ugh! More ads? I’m going to stop using Instagram so much.” But that never happened. Because the ads were non-intrusive and actually relevant (thanks to the company’s huge database), nobody quit Instagram. Instead, the platform’s user base has nearly tripled since then from 300 million to 800 million.
Meanwhile, Facebook started making a ton of money off Instagram.
Between 2011 and 2014, Facebook’s domestic ARPU grew at a 41% rate from roughly $3 to roughly $9. During that same stretch, global ARPU grew at a 27% clip from roughly $1.40 to around $2.80.
Once Facebook started seriously monetizing Instagram in 2015, everything changed. For the better.
From 2014 to 2017, Facebook’s domestic ARPU grew at a 44% rate to nearly $27. Global ARPU, meanwhile, grew at a 30% clip to nearly $6.20.
In other words, despite dramatically increasing scale and tougher laps, Facebook’s unit monetization growth actually accelerated in 2014-17 versus 2011-14.
Now, the Instagram ad ramp is largely in the rear-view window, but Facebook is still sitting on two other, much larger platforms that have yet to be monetized in Messenger and WhatsApp. That means Facebook stock has two Instagram-like catalysts still in the pipeline.
Facebook has barely monetized these platforms so far. Right now, Messenger only has ads on the contact list, which are unintrusive to the point that many users don’t register them. (Facebook’s most recent earnings mention Messenger as a component of ad revenue, but don’t spike out the individual numbers for the app.) WhatsApp has no ads.
Thus far, management hasn’t figured out the ideal way to monetize on a messaging app, whether it be through ads or social commerce or anything else. Eventually, though, management will figure this out. At that point in time, Facebook will start making big bucks from Messenger and WhatsApp.
Financially, that means that ARPU, although it is really big right now, could get a lot bigger. If so, Facebook stock could explode higher.
7. Watch & Workplace Are Big Growth Drivers for Facebook Stock
Up until this point, this article has focused exclusively on Facebook’s advertising business and why that business isn’t going to slow anytime soon. As a result, Facebook stock should head higher even if Facebook was just its advertising business.
Facebook is building out multiple nascent hyper-growth businesses that could one day be huge contributors to both the top and bottom lines. The sum of these businesses not only strength the fundamentals supporting Facebook stock, but also add significant longevity to Facebook stock’s growth narrative.
First, there is Facebook Watch. Facebook launched Watch in mid-2017 after it become crystal clear that streaming on-demand entertainment was the way of the future. At that time, Netflix was just carving up the traditional cable industry, and there was a massive shift happening from the cable model to the streaming model. As such, Facebook launched Watch to get into this space.
Watch hasn’t made much of a splash just yet, but again, it is only matter of time before Watch scales into something meaningful. After all, Facebook does have the largest potential streaming audience in the world (2 billion-plus users) and a whole bunch of cash on the balance sheet. Thus, once Facebook appropriately deploys its massive amount of resources to developing and/or acquiring content, Facebook will be able to stream that content to the largest on-demand, streaming audience in the world.
Considering how much money Netflix is making in the streaming world, Facebook Watch could easily morph into a huge money-maker for Facebook stock.
Second, there is Facebook Workplace, which is a highly undervalued part of the Facebook business. Workplace is the social network’s enterprise edition. It’s essentially a cloud-based communication tool designed for businesses of all sizes. And, it’s exactly like Slack, the hyper-growth start-up which has made a killing selling enterprise communication tools.
Formerly known as Facebook at Work, Workplace debuted in October 2016 to very little fanfare. Most investors have since forgotten about it. But Workplace scored a big win last year by signing on the world’s biggest employer, Walmart Inc (NYSE:WMT). And that will likely be only the first in a series of major wins for Workplace as enterprise social networking goes mainstream (IDC expects the ESN market to grow at a 19% clip annually to $3.5 billion by 2019).
Facebook makes money off of Workplace by charging a subscription fee. At $3 per month per user for premium, Workplace could easily scale into a material revenue stream for Facebook if the ESN market gains momentum over the next several years.
8. Marketplace & Native Payments Are Bigger Growth Drivers for Facebook Stock
Beyond Watch and Workplace, there is Facebook Marketplace. Much like Watch, Marketplace has been around for a few quarters, but hasn’t made much of a splash just yet. But also like Watch, it really is only a matter of time before Facebook turns Marketplace into something big.
As it stands, Marketplace looks like a digital garage sale of 2 billion-plus potential buyers and sellers. That model makes sense, but isn’t a complete version of what Marketplace could be. It will eventually morph into a place that accommodates those 2 billion-plus buyers and sellers, while also making room for official retailers to sell goods to a targeted group of buyers (yet another use-case of Facebook’s massive database). In this sense, Marketplace could one day scale to be the place for all e-commerce transactions.
Along the same lines as Marketplace, Facebook is rolling out native payment capability across its ecosystem. Pretty soon, “Buy Now” features will be common across all of Facebook. Imagine you see an advertisement, and that ad interests you.
Currently, there is a decent amount of friction in the process of turning that interest into financial action. You have to click that ad, likely veer away from Facebook, open another window, enter separate payment and delivery info, so on and so forth.
In the future, Facebook will add capability which removes those frictions. You will be able to store your payment and delivery info within the Facebook ecosystem, so that if you see an ad on Instagram or Facebook that interests you, you are literally just a few clicks away from turning that interest into financial action.
This capability at scale could be huge for Facebook. Facebook could take a commission off every sale that happens through its platform, much like a payments processing company does. If so, Facebook could make a ton of money off people buying and selling directly through the Facebook ecosystem. Facebook could also charge higher rates for its digital real estate in a world where they reduce commerce friction, thus adding even more firepower to the already super-charged advertising business.
9. The Street Underestimates Facebook’s Growth
To recap, Facebook’s size gives the company perhaps the biggest moat in the world, while also enabling the company to replicate essentially any business at scale. Further, Facebook’s advertising business is on fire, and the future monetization of social conversation apps Messenger and WhatsApp mean that the ad business still has a ton of firepower. Meanwhile, Facebook is developing multiple nascent hyper-growth businesses like Watch, Workplace, Marketplace, and native payments, the sum of which could add meaningful contributions to the financials over the next 5-10 years.
Put that all together, and I really don’t understand why the Street thinks revenue growth is going to slow all the way to 25% next year, versus nearly 50% last quarter. Yes, I understand the law of large numbers. Growth is supposed to slow with scale.
But that hasn’t happened at Facebook. Revenue growth last quarter was nearly 50%. In the year ago quarter, it was also nearly 50%. Two years ago, it was a hair over 50%. Three years ago, it was a hair under 50%.
Why, then, is Facebook’s revenue growth going to all the sudden plummet to 25% after spending multiple years right around 50%?
Law of large numbers? The company has defied that trend for a while, and revenues are still less than $100 billion. Google has revenues in excess of $100 billion, so I really don’t see law of large numbers kicking in just yet.
Muted user growth? Maybe. But global internet usage expansion should keep user growth healthy in the 10%-plus range, and that level of growth led to 50% revenue growth this past quarter. That trend shouldn’t change any time soon.
Instagram ad ramp is over? Again, maybe. But also unlikely. Judging by Snap’s recent results, Instagram is kicking Snap’s butt, and that means a ton of teen-oriented ad dollars are flowing into Instagram. Plus, Messenger and WhatsApp still have yet to be monetized.
Digital ad business is nearing saturation? Again, maybe, but unlikely. And largely irrelevant. By the time the ad business does near saturation (after WhatsApp and Messenger have been fully monetized), the other businesses like Watch, Marketplace, and Workplace will be the big growth drivers.
Overall, then, I really don’t see why Facebook’s revenue growth is slated to come off the rails over the next several years. The biggest growth drivers remain strong, and there are more growth drivers in the pipeline. As such, it looks like Facebook stock will continue to benefit from successive beat-and-raise quarters over the next several years.
How Much Is Facebook Stock Worth?
Given that last quarter’s 50% growth rate has been consistent for the past several years and there are big growth drivers still in the pipeline, I don’t think revenue growth will come down by all that much over the next several years. At around $100 billion in revenues, I do expect law of large numbers to start kicking in. I also expect ad revenues to slow some as Facebook and Instagram start to get maxed out. But the overall growth rate will remain robust.
All things considered, I think this is a 30% revenue growth company per year over the next 5 years. I also think that operating margins will stay high in the 50% range thanks to robust demand for the company’s ad products. That combination leads me to believe that FB can earn around $18 per share in 5 years.
A market-average growth multiple of 20-times forward earnings on those $18 earnings implies a four-year forward price target for FB stock of $360. Discounted back by 10% per year, that equates to a fair value for FB stock of above $240.
Bottom Line on Facebook Stock
FB stock is a case of big growth converging on a discounted valuation. That convergence normally results in significant share-price out-performance in a multi-year window.
That is exactly what will happen over the next several years with Facebook stock. As such, this is a must-own stock for investors with a long-term horizon.

Although scan-based designs are widely used in order to reduce the complexity of test generation, test application time and test data volume are substantially increased. We propose two different methodologies for test cost reduction in scan-based designs. The first methodology improves on the Illinois Scan Architecture, aiming at reducing the high test cost of the test vectors that necessitate the serial test application mode. The second methodology employs on-chip serial transformations to generate an input stimulus that can be applied efficiently. The transformation-based methodology utilizes the proposed scan design to obtain the minimal cost input stimulus. The experimental results indicate that a substantial test cost reduction, reaching 90% levels, can be obtained.


A previously described instrument was used to obtain axial profiles of the gas-kinetic temperature (T-g) in a ms-pulsed glow discharge via Rayleigh scattering. In addition, the electron number density (n(e)) and the electron temperature (T-e) were observed via Thomson scattering. For these measurements, the detection optics of the original instrument were modified and a photon-counting imaging technique was employed to allow the simultaneous observation of Thomson scattering from multiple spatial positions. It was found that the cell pressure and electrical characteristics of the glow-discharge pulse have an effect on the temporal behavior of all fundamental parameters. As with a dc glow discharge, there were two distinct classes of electrons, a high-energy group and a lower-energy ( thermalized) group. The thermalized electrons showed greater energies during the prepeak than at the plateau. Following the power pulse, during the afterglow, n(e) and T-e declined monotonically at the te

The FDA issued a Class 1 Recall for Medtronic Incorporated's device named Sprint Fidelis® Defibrillator Leads
The model numbers of the recalled defibrillator leads are; 6930, 6931, 6948 and 6949. The recalled leads were used in defibrillators manufactured from September 2004 through October 15, 2007. Class 1 Recalls are used by the FDA when there is reasonable evidence to believe that a product or drug may cause serious injury or death.
The Medtronic's Sprint Fidelis defibrillator leads are being recalled due to a small number of fractures which have been found in the devices, which could cause inappropriate shocks or result in a loss of therapy which would lead to a failure of the device to perform its normal functions, with health risks to the patient. The Sprint Fidelis "Leads" are very thin wires connecting the implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) or cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) to the heart. These devices (ICDs and CRT-Ds) are used to treat abnormal heart rhythms which can result in sudden and dangerous heart stoppage which may cause death or serious injury. If you or a family member has suffered an injury as a result of this (or any other defective medical device) you may request a free consultation with an attorney
Just prior to this Class 1 recall, Medtronic issued their own "voluntary suspension of sales and marketing
" of the Sprint Fidelis Defibrilator Leads.
Medtronic has instructed doctors and hospitals to stop using the product, and to return any leads with these models to the manufacturers. Patients with the devices may call Medtronic Patient Services at 1-800-551-5544 X41835 (7 am to 9 pm Central Standard Time). If you have a Medtronic device and are unsure of the model number or whether it has potential to be defective, consult your physician and obtain your medical records.Additional information from the FDA regarding Medtronic Recalls
manufacturer Medtronic recalled two models after receiving several reports that the devices do not charge properly and fail to shock a patient's heart when required. Medtronic is removing Micro Jewel II Model 7223Cx
and GEM DR Model 7271 ICD
s due to malfunctions that have been linked to four deaths and one injury. The company says the defibrillators are taking a dangerously long time to charge.
According to Medtronic, over 6,000 of the recalled models were manufactured and implanted in 1997 and 1998. Nearly 2,000 are suspected to still be in use. The company has alerted physicians
to test the charge capability of Micro Jewel and GEM model defibrillators implanted in patients.
Medtronic requests the sealing of records involving a defective product lawsuit
filed on behalf of a woman who was put in a coma as a result of an injury alleged to have been created by the defective device.
If you have experienced serious health problems due to a cardiovascular device, it may be important to contact an attorney
who can help you protect your legal rights. Please keep in mind that there may be time limits
within which you must commence suit.Attorneys associated with InjuryBoard.com

Earth Care Projects
FBC Green Team Garden Group
We are trying to assist people to make room and plant some native pollinator and bird feeding plants and their gardens, yards or on their patios.
Alice Grow has generously offered to be Ask Alice. Contact her through email or call her (see FBC directory) and describe or send photos of your garden area and ask for suggestions about what to plant and where to get those plants. In a few cases, we may be able to supply you with some local native plant species, which are the most efficient way to support our local plant/insect/bird web of life. Other plants aren’t so local, or aren’t so native but do support pollinators or provide bird food (e.g. Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea). The Plantsmen Nursery near Ithaca is a reliable guide and sells many local native species and other pollinator-friendly plants.
As soon as we know who is interested, we will send out suggestions for native plants (and sources for obtaining them) that you could plant to support pollinators, insects and birds. Hopefully, we will also have some local, native plants available to share.
Call or email Alice Grow if you want to be involved. She has a nice encouraging smile too. We installed a pollinator/habitat garden on the FBC church lawn under the Christ Window at FBC in Ithaca. The intent of this project is to educate ourselves and everyone about ways we could use our land to support the web of life in addition to the human species.
Waterway Trash Pickups
Contact Tina Hilsdorf if you want to be involved. Before vegetation fully leaves out, it is a good time to remove trash from local roadside ditches, creek, pond and lakeside sites. It not only looks better but it prevents plastics (which don’t biodegrade but just break down into smaller and smaller bits) from entering our water systems. You can social -distance while you do this, anywhere there is trash. If you know of some accessible spots that need cleanups, let Tina know. Tina can help you with safety tips, grabbers, ideas for separating recycling from trash and a nice encouraging smile.
FBC Green Library
Before the pandemic we began creating the FBC Green Library of books and printed materials at the Church. We have also begun development of a parallel library of green electronic resources. More on this soon.
RGRABC Creation Collaborative
Tuning in to RGRABC Creation Collaborative ( Rochester Genesee Region of American Baptist Churches (RGRABC). Three of us attended their webinar about Project Drawdown. It was good. If anyone is interested in pursuing Drawdown or connecting with RGRABC Creation Care efforts contact Tony Lister or Louise Mudrak.

Don’t rush to change new responsible lending regulations, says social good lender Good Shepherd NZ
February 12, 2022
There should be no changes for at least six months to new responsible lending regulations designed to protect vulnerable people from unscrupulous lenders, says Fleur Howard, chief executive of social good lender Good Shepherd.
Commerce and Consumer Affairs Minister David Clark has ordered an inquiry into the regulations, which came in on December 1, and which bank chief executives say are too prescriptive, resulting in them being able to approve fewer home loans.
But Howard said the regulations were needed to reset lending as society was awash with damaging, unaffordable debt.
“It’s too soon to be reviewing,” she said. “There can be a review in six months, if we are still seeing issues.”

The Chinese government have built a brand new city in Mongolia called Ordos in just five years. This city has skyscrpaers, housing, concert halls everything a western city would have except one thing…people. The city has no residents because it is just too expensive for the average man on the street to live there. This purpose built city is less than 20 miles from the original Ordos city, which the government felt was too rundown, so they built a new one.
The result is they built a shiny new city which is too expensive for anyone to afford and so the whole population still live in the rundown city next door.
