Halifax Regional Police Chief Dan Kinsella says he needs a budget increase of nearly $1 million for the next year to create eight new sergeant positions “to better serve the community.”
The department presented its 2020-2021 budget request to the city’s board of police commissioners on Thursday, asking for an increase of $993,300 over the 2019-2020 budget of $89,294,500 — 1.112%.
Of that increase, $106,300 was already approved in principle during last year’s deliberations based on stepped wage increases for officers. Most of the other $887,000 — $669,300 — is attributable to the proposed creation of eight new sergeant positions.
Every municipal department, or business unit, is given a budget target, and chief financial officer Jane Fraser told the board that police were asked to keep their budget to $89,436,600. Fraser said her office used that number in calculating the proposed tax increase — 1.5% on the average property tax bill, equal to $30 — approved by council this week. The police proposal recommended by the board is for $90,287,800.
Based on budget numbers in a report to council this week, the extra $851,200 police are asking for would lead to another $2.95 on that average property tax bill if council applied the entire increase to the tax rate.
The board voted to recommend regional council approve the increased budget, but while he supports the new positions, Coun. Tony Mancini said he doesn’t see his colleagues signing off.
“Every business unit has been asked to cut back, as it was last year and the previous year. I just don’t see what was cut back in this budget,” he told reporters after the meeting.
Chief Kinsella told reporters he needs the new positions to close a gap in service.
“This is what I believe is required organizationally to not only close the gap immediately through the ask but also to prepare us organizationally in the long-term to make us a stronger organization, to better serve the community,” he said.
Kinsella outlined the plan for the new positions — two new staff sergeants, two new detective sergeants, and four new sergeants — at the last board meeting in December, and made his case again on Thursday.
The four new sergeants would supervise the prisoner care facility at Halifax Regional Police headquarters on Gottingen St., where a man died in custody in 2016. Two civilian booking officers were convicted of criminal negligence causing death after they left Corey Rogers, who was intoxicated, in his cell with a spit hood over his head, and failed to conduct proper wellness checks for two hours. He died by asphyxiation after vomiting into the spit hood.
Only one sergeant currently oversees the prisoner care facility, and that person works during the day, Monday to Friday — the least busy time for the facility. The new positions would mean constant supervision.
Three of the other new positions — a staff sergeant and two detective sergeants — would be assigned to the professional standards branch, which is supposed to conduct internal investigations into complaints from the public. There’s a backlog and most investigations are happening elsewhere because officers can’t investigate their higher ranked colleagues, and the branch is only staffed with one sergeant.
The remaining staff sergeant would be assigned to the criminal investigations division with a focus on sexual assault investigations.
The board also heard a request on Thursday from Halifax-district RCMP Chief Superintendent Janis Gray for an extra position. The board deferred debate on that request, pending a staff report on its role in determining the RCMP budget.
Board chair Natalie Borden told reporters that the board would make a recommendation in favour of the RCMP request, which would move up to the provincial and federal governments.
The 2019-2020 RCMP budget was $26,869,600. Gray told the board she won’t receive her 2020-2021 budget from the provincial government till April, but she expects it to be unchanged from last year unless the new position is approved at a cost to Halifax of about $150,000.

This spring, the Bush administration proposed an initiative to give thousands of underprivileged children in failing public schools the option to attend private school. A report from the U.S. Department of Education released in February found more than 2,100 public schools have failed to meet adequate yearly progress under the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) for five or more years.
President George W. Bush’s 2007 budget proposal includes funds for the America’s Opportunity Scholarships for Kids initiative. The $100 million program would provide school vouchers to children in schools in the “restructuring” phase of NCLB. Schools eligible for restructuring are those that have failed to meet adequate yearly progress standards for six or more consecutive years.
The plan calls for the Department of Education to award grants to local organizations that agree to distribute opportunity scholarships to qualifying public school students.
Hundreds of thousands of children across the nation would be eligible to participate; estimates suggest the program could serve as many as 23,000 students. Participating children would receive either a $4,000 scholarship for private school tuition, or $3,000 for supplemental educational services or after-school tutoring. The program requires congressional authorization and appropriation, which was pending at press time.
Meeting a Growing Need
The Department of Education reports 1,065 schools currently qualify as “restructuring” under No Child Left Behind. Next year, as many as 1,000 additional schools may also qualify.
Townsend McNitt, deputy chief of staff at the U.S. Department of Education, explained the Opportunity Scholarship initiative was designed to meet the growing need for more school choices under NCLB.
“As more and more schools enter the restructuring phase, we believed that it was important to expand upon the existing parental choice components of No Child Left Behind,” McNitt said.
“It could take a few years for a public school to go through the restructuring process. During that time, families deserve options,” McNitt explained. Under NCLB, failing schools are legally required to tell parents about their option to transfer their children to better-performing public schools in the district, and to provide after-school tutoring to students through other providers. “But for families with children assigned to these schools, we wanted to provide the most aggressive choice possible–the choice of a private school, as well as intensive tutoring instruction.”
Restructuring Thousands of Schools
A May report from The Heritage Foundation found hundreds of thousands of children are currently enrolled in schools that will soon be due for restructuring. Many are located in large school districts. For instance, New York City has 167 schools due for restructuring, according to Department of Education estimates. Those schools enroll approximately 125,000 students.
In Illinois, Chicago Public Schools (CPS) announced in May that 185 schools are scheduled for restructuring–nearly one-third of the city’s public schools. At least 121,000 students are estimated to be enrolled in these schools. Some schools will be closed, while others will undergo curriculum and staffing changes. CPS chose to embrace the minimum restructuring options allowed under the law. Chicago would be an example of a school district where children could benefit if the Opportunity Scholarship program is implemented.
For school choice advocates, the Opportunity Scholarship initiative represents a historic opportunity.
“Millions of children are being denied the parental choice options that are promised to them under No Child Left Behind,” explained Matthew Ladner, director of state projects at the Alliance for School Choice in Arizona. “The America’s Opportunity Scholarship for Kids initiative would provide real school choice to thousands of children attending persistently failing schools. For these children, scholarships will mean the path to a quality education and a brighter future.”
Showing Need for Choice
In addition to helping students currently trapped in failing schools in large urban districts, Ladner said, the new initiative could demonstrate why all children need choices nationwide.
“If passed,” Ladner said, “the Opportunity Scholarship program could lead to future student-centered reforms at the federal level.”
Backers recognize the Opportunity Scholarship proposal faces an uphill battle on Capitol Hill. In 2002, in the first NCLB proposal, the Bush administration included a school voucher plan for children in failing schools, but it was removed early in the legislative process. But choice proponents say congressmen should find it difficult to deny choices to students who are stuck in chronically failing schools for six years.
“It took four or five years to pass the D.C. opportunity scholarship program,” McNitt explained. (The program offers low-income parents up to $7,500 in scholarship funds for children to attend private elementary or high schools.) “But the dynamics are a bit different for this proposal because we’re talking about restructuring schools [that are long-term underperformers under NCLB]. We’re hopeful that this will move more quickly. There has already been some interest on Capitol Hill.”
School choice supporters agree the Opportunity Scholarship program would put additional pressure on lawmakers, because it is geared to serve underprivileged children in persistently underperforming schools.
“Members of Congress need to know that thousands of children in their district are trapped in public schools that have failed for six or more years. How can they not support a new program to give these children the opportunity to attend better schools?” Ladner asked. “How much longer do these kids have to wait?”

This review will be a bit different than the reviews I’ve done in the past. Rather than reviewing one story, I’ll actually be reviewing four! From author, Daniele Light, comes a volume of some of her best erotic stories bundled up into one extra-long read. And boy, there’s really only one way to describe her work: absolute literary porn! Mrs. Light is best known for writing steamy stories about BMAW(black men, Asian women).
Erotic Hypnosis is already an incredibly popular sub-genre of both written erotica, and porn, which entails one character or actor being hypnotized by another for the purposes of turning them into an obedient sexual partner. In recent years, it’s been gradually introduced into the BDSM community as a new extension of D/s practices. For hypnosubs(if I can call them that) it creates an entirely new opportunity to show vulnerability to their dommes by surrendering control of their mind itself. What follows can vary anywhere from roleplay in the form of guided mind journeys, to full-on mentally-induced orgasms. Others have used the practice to also condition their partners to overcome certain fears or mindsets when it comes to sex.
I want to take this moment to say, first off, that all of you who follow me, signed up for my email list, speak to me on social media, sent me story requests, or just regularly stop by to read what I have; you guys are some of my favorite people. It’s because of you guys that I’m motivated to keep doing what I do here on Forbidden Writings, despite what pitfalls I’ve had in my life this past year. When I started this site on Wordpress more than two years ago, I didn’t think I’d still be doing it today. I was almost positive this would just become another blog that disappeared when I realized no one would want to read it. Was I ever so wrong.
Current trends in the genre of erotica have shown a growing appreciation of a horror aspect to sex and sexuality. Between works of written erotica, and the porn industry, horror seems to be making an unexpected rise in popularity. Capitalizing on this idea is indie author, Laila Faire, who has crafted a number of horror erotica novellas, including “Carnival of Sin”. This was actually the first work of horror erotica I’ve ever read, and I must say, I was pleasantly surprised. I figure the best thing to do was write down my first impressions, and tell you a bit about the story.
I saw him there again, through the large bedroom window of his home. He often left the blinds open. Probably thinking the tall fence in his backyard would keep prying eyes out of his second-story bedroom. But it doesn’t hide you from the second-story bedroom of the house behind your own. Not that I was intentionally spying on him, mind you.
In recent days, I’ve been seeing quite a few people on Facebook groups and Reddit pages discussing the viability of erotica as a source of substantial income. Since the craze ran during 2015-2016, everyone and their mother turned up to lay their stake into that particular oil well. For a while, things were going well. Demand was higher, and supply was much higher, and it had never been a better time to start as an erotica writer.
I first heard about Terri George last week as I was looking through my Twitter. I was eager to find something new to read and later review. Terri George already has several books available, and a good handful of positive reviews under her belt. The cover art, as well as her teaser graphics, are very eye-catching to be sure. She’s clearly been doing this for a while and knows the craft very well.

To the editor: Promises that the proposed NFL stadium in Inglewood will be "state of the art" mean that it will be a great place from which to televise games. TV is where the money is. Game tickets for seats — and not just for the luxury boxes — will cost a lot. ("Inglewood NFL stadium plan is no guarantee Rams will come to L.A.," Jan. 5)
Most people clamoring for a local NFL team will likely never attend a game because of the cost. No matter what the builders say, taxpayers will subsidize the NFL with zoning changes, tax breaks, additional police coverage, time lost because of traffic and more, and we'll still have to watch the games on TV.
Why don't league officials promise to sell some seats for, say, $25 and in pairs? They should also equip the facility to serve as an emergency location in the event of a disaster.
Assuming half the games will be away, what's the plan for the other 40-plus weeks in the year?
Elizabeth Wright, Marina del Rey
To the editor: This must be the 50th time I've read of plans to build an NFL stadium in or around Los Angeles. I'm beginning to suspect there is no plan or demand for an NFL team in L.A.
Jack Buss, Banning
To the editor: Let's see: A pro football team or two is coming to L.A. because some billionaire bought land. A bullet train is being built in Fresno even though there isn't enough money to fund the entire system. Immigrants are clogging up the DMV and receiving discounted insurance rates.
We have 930 new laws that few of us will understand. And we have a fourth-term governor who is slightly younger than much of our water and sewer systems in L.A.
You've got to love California.

RJD2 might just be the most talented hip-hop producer you haven't heard of. Until now, the Columbus, Ohio, turntablist had only a couple of singles to his name, but Deadringer announces his arrival as a major talent behind the mixing desk, while recent tours with his label boss El-P and celebrated producer DJ Shadow have confirmed his skills on the decks. There are those who see RJD2 as a dead ringer for Shadow. Like his West Coast counterpart, RJD2 samples long, knotted phrases from funk, rock and techno, fusing these fragments into complex assemblages with the drama of a symphony conductor and the grace of a professional dancer. But RJ, as his friends call him, deserves to step out of his predecessor's, er, shadow. Compared with the Shadow's cinematic epics, RJD2's tunes have a rawness and intensity quivering in the grooves.
Just listen to "Let the Good Times Roll," one of Deadringer's singles. At first, it can be hard to tell whether the number's '60s-inspired piano chords, cymbal-heavy breaks and overdriven horn and vocal lines are the product of a long-lost R&B combo or a particularly deft editor. It's only when the track breaks down into a blizzard of scratches and a poppin' electro drum pattern that its underpinnings become clear. The cohesion that gives the song its illusionist oomph is intentional: RJD2 has said that instead of pairing asynchronous sound sources the way so many kitsch-leaning producers do, he's interested in working exclusively within a given time period. The result is less pastiche than genetic reconstruction.
Deadringer is primarily instrumental, although indie MCs Blueprint, Jakki and Copywrite all make appearances. The latter's "June," released last year as a single, is one of the record's highlights, with Copywrite spitting a high-pitched rant against the travails of independent artistry as RJD2 rubs down a rollicking break with feathered flamenco guitars and cool Hammond organs. In the hands of a lesser producer the amalgam might feel forced, but sprung from RJD2's sampler, it's as natural as the acoustic riff it cops. Turns out RJD2's a dead ringer for no one--and in a genre based on reproductions of reproductions, that's saying something.

In this young offseason, two teams have requested interviews for Jets position coaches in regard to vacant coordinator jobs. The Raiders wanted to speak with secondary coach Dennis Thurman for their defensive coordinator opening. The Titans wanted to speak with offensive line coach Bill Callahan for their offensive coordinator opening. Both were denied.
The Jets did not have to allow either to interview since both are under contract. League rules view all assistant coach jobs as equal. A coordinator job is by league rules lateral to a position coach spot. Teams do not need permission to interview assistants for head coaching jobs because that is viewed as a step up. The reason this is the case is the NFL wants to prevent cheating the system. A team might hypothetically give Callahan an offensive coordinator title but have him just handle the offensive line like he does in New York while then head coach or somebody else runs the offense.
I do feel a bit bad for Callahan and Thurman for not being allowed to move up. They knew this was part of the deal when they signed multiyear contracts for job security, though. That is part of the price they have to pay. If they really are good enough, they can look for other openings when their contracts expire.
I am interested to hear your opinion on this, though. The Jets were justified to deny these guys a chance within the rules. That does not necessarily mean the team was right, however. It is a difficult spot. You do not want to lose good coaches. If they have their eye on another job and would rather be elsewhere, though, the team really would not be doing them any favors by holding them in place.
What are your thoughts on this?

Why Putin’s Syrian Intervention is a Stealth Victory for Obama
by Benjamin Studebaker
Vladimir Putin has taken the bait and decided to intervene militarily in Syria, launching airstrikes on behalf of the Assad regime. Many people are portraying this as some kind of disaster for US foreign policy. President Obama has been accused of abdicating regional leadership to Russia. But while Obama has consistently claimed that he wants Syrian President Bashar al-Assad removed from power, his actions belie this. What Obama really wants to do is buck-pass. He wants to force other countries to bear most of the financial and human costs of eliminating ISIS, keeping America’s role as limited as is politically possible. His actions over the past four years make this very clear.
Here’s the current situation in Syria:
The rebels include not merely moderate groups like the Free Syrian Army, but also radical groups like the Al-Nusra Front. White spaces are mostly uninhabited.
On multiple occasions, Barack Obama has had an opportunity to intervene militarily in Iraq and Syria, either to eliminate the Assad regime or to wage a ground campaign against ISIS. On all of these occasions, he has begged off. Sometimes he has done so clumsily–like the time he drew a “red line” on chemical weapons to deter their use but was not genuinely prepared to back that rhetoric up with military force. But whenever he has faced public pressure to intervene in Syria, Obama desperately fumbles for an excuse to do nothing. Perhaps this sounds like a criticism, but it’s really a quite strategic move. For all his bumbling, Obama understands something that Hillary Clinton and the republicans don’t–a solution to the Syrian Civil War imposed by the United States will be extremely expensive and it won’t last.
In Iraq, the United States committed potentially trillions of dollars to removing Saddam Hussein and replacing him with a liberal democracy. This involved an extensive occupation and serious human costs. When the United States finally left, the order it had spent so much time, money, and human resources to purchase quickly evaporated as unresolved sectarian divisions resurfaced. Shiite President Nouri Al-Maliki began persecuting the Sunnis. Some of the Sunnis radicalized. When the Syrian Civil War started up, many radicalized Iraqi Sunnis joined up with radicalized Syrian Sunnis, fueling the rise of ISIS. Ever since, ISIS has waged a war against the Shiite governments in both Syria and Iraq. The Syrian and Iraqi governments radicalized sections of their Sunni populations by systematically mistreating their Sunni citizens. If the United States comes in and wipes out ISIS without forcing the Syrian and Iraqi peoples to confront their sectarian problems, it will once again expend immense resources to purchase ephemeral stability. Sooner or later the US will again have to withdraw, and the stability purchased will again be lost. The only way to create sustainable, enduring stability is for these countries to reach their own political solutions. Obama seems to understand that a full US intervention will only enable this cycle to repeat, at great financial cost to the federal government.
That said, there have been some big mistakes along the way. The Syrian Civil War does not exist in a vacuum. Neighboring countries all have stakes in the conflict, and many of them have been quite willing to back one side or the other with weapons and financial support. This has prolonged the conflict and increased the amount of suffering it entails. It has also forced many thousands of people out of their homes and precipitated a refugee crisis. Sunni-dominated countries (e.g. Saudi Arabia) tend to back varying rebel factions, while Shiite-dominated countries (e.g. Iran) tend to back the Syrian and Iraqi governments. The US, UK, and France have tried to support moderate rebels who are willing to fight against ISIS, but these efforts have gone very poorly. Many of the weapons sent have been captured by more radical rebel groups, and the rebels that have been trained have routed easily and been startlingly useless. Amazingly, only an estimated “4 or 5” US-trained rebels are currently fighting. Obama has responded by effectively claiming to have been pressured into arming rebels by Hillary Clinton, the CIA, and his generals, alleging that he never really believed it was a good idea. Said White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest:
It is true that we have found this to be a difficult challenge. But it is also true that many of our critics had proposed this specific option as essentially the cure-all for all of the policy challenges that we’re facing in Syria right now. That is not something that this administration ever believed, but it is something that our critics will have to answer for.
If Obama believed in arming the rebels, he screwed up. If he didn’t, he should have stood up to his critics. In any case, his strategy has developed in new ways since then. Obama has cut a deal with Iran that will enable Iran to access billions of dollars it has stashed in frozen foreign accounts–it is quite likely that Iran will use some of this money to support the Syrian and Iraqi governments against ISIS and other rebel groups, but Obama seems unperturbed by this. This suggests that Obama does not really care if Assad stays or goes, despite what he says to the contrary. It suggests that at this point, he prefers to eliminate ISIS and achieve stability, irrespective of whether that stabilizing force consists of Sunnis or Shiites, dictators or democrats. But Obama still does not want to commit US ground forces to that goal or expend substantive amounts of money to do it. He is still trying to play the waiting game, hoping that the instability ISIS creates in the region will eventually force other countries to intervene against ISIS.
This message has been consistently undermined by Obama’s domestic political opponents, many of whom keep promising that when they are elected, America’s military commitment will increase dramatically. If other countries could wait until after the 2016 election, it’s reasonably likely that the next US president will make much larger commitments and allow them to rest easy. Fortunately for Obama, Iran and Russia are not quite that patient. They are stepping up their support for the Assad regime in a bid to destroy ISIS and restore the Shiite status quo that prevailed before 2011. This allows the US to rest easy while Russia and Iran bear the costs of defeating ISIS. Instead of spending billions itself, the US has effectively goaded Russia and Iran into spending those billions protecting US security interests. For the first time in a long time, the US is getting other countries to pay to accomplish its objectives rather than the other way around. Donald Trump likes to boast that he will build a wall and make Mexico pay for it. Barack Obama has managed to goad Russia and Iran into creating and paying for an anti-ISIS coalition. That looks like a stealth victory to me. Perhaps Obama has read The Art of the Deal after all?

I love seeing pictures of Alaska. I would love to visit there someday. We just finished watching “Pirate Gold of Adak Island” and I was just fascinated by the scenery and the pirate stories.
I hope you and your family are well.
My family’s well, Nancy– thank you. I remember how I was hesitant at first at wanting to take a cruise. What we saw of Alaska was an awesome experience. We (on the Princess Diamond) began at Anchorage and finished at Vancouver. I highly recommend this trip. And be prepared to have a busy camera. Have a wonderful day and thanx for your visit.

Ministers have ordered Whitehall to "dad-proof" its family policies, amid concerns that schools, hospitals and other services are preventing fathers from taking a more active role in their children's lives.
Civil servants have been asked to make sure the government is targeting its parenting initiatives at fathers as well as mothers to break the current "mother-domination" of family policy.
Plans already under way include an order to schools to send children's reports to their absent fathers as well as their home addresses, and moves to encourage maternity wards to let fathers spend their child's first night at the hospital instead of being sent home alone.
Campaigners for fatherhood welcomed the plans but were unhappy that the government was still refusing to improve paid paternity leave beyond the current two weeks.
Beverley Hughes, the minister for families, said: "Everything is so mother-dominated in public services and we're trying to change that. The benefits for children of fathers being involved in their early lives are considerable: not just for boys, but there is a particular effect with sons. The relationship with the father is important for a boy's attainment, behaviour and emotional resilience."
She said she wanted to change attitudes because, for some men, the school gate or children's centre could feel as alienating as male-dominated workplaces are for women.
"When we had small children, my husband would sometimes be asked at the healthcentre where the mother was. I hope that level of suspicion is not there now, but fathers tell me there is still some resistance," she said.
Policies being developed include:
Plans for schools to send children's reports to fathers who live elsewhere.
A new government-run website for dads to mirror mums.net, the online community for mothers. Its working title is "dads' dialogue".
The Department of Health is looking at ways hospitals can make it possible for fathers to stay the night after their partner has given birth.
Activities at children centres will target fathers specifically.
A dads' version of a baby handbook which has in the past been given to new mothers is being published with the slogan: "Because they don't come with instructions".
A campaign to get employers to allow more fathers to work flexibly.
A drive to encourage dads to read to their children.
Training for all professionals who work with children on how to communicate with dads as well as mums.
Promoting childcare services to black and minority ethnic fathers.
Evidence shows that today's children are spending increasing amounts of time with their fathers, although mothers still provide the bulk of the childcare.
The last major survey of parents' roles was the Office for National Statistics time use survey in 2001, which found that mothers accounted for more than three-quarters of time spent on childcare activities during the week and two-thirds at weekends. On average, fathers of under-fives spent one hour and 20 minutes a day on childcare activities during the week and two hours and 30 minutes a day at weekends.
Duncan Fisher, founder of the Fatherhood Institute, said: "Fathers' influence on children is crucial to their development, and if you ignore that, you sacrifice a chance to help children.
"The current health and education systems engage with whatever parent turns up. This new plan is to make the effort to talk to both.
"Many fathers feel like the odd one out at the school gate. Fathers are marginalised from the very beginning."
He added that the biggest change the government could make would be to extend paid paternity leave for fathers, who currently qualify for two weeks' paid leave. They can also take up to 13 weeks of unpaid parental leave, but many families cannot afford that option, he said.
"The paternity system is hopeless. We have the biggest deficit between men and women anywhere in the world. That sets the scene for mums to scale down their careers, and fathers to become the breadwinners. It makes a formidable economic force for mothers to leave the workforce. It's hopelessly unfair and it pushes parents apart."
Hughes said that the government was currently challenging an EU regulation which prevents benefits being removed, so that it can replace some paid maternity leave with shared parental leave, allowing mothers and fathers to share paid leave as it suits them. Simply adding extra paid paternity leave was not being considered because of the "financial consequences", she said.


BCSC finds that B.C. man and partnership committed fraud
Vancouver - A British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC) panel has found that Roy Ping Bai (a.k.a. Ping Bai) and RBP Consulting committed fraud against nine investors for approximately $1.4 million.
Bai was a resident of Vancouver and West Vancouver, B.C. during the relevant period. RBP Consulting is a general partnership of which Bai and his wife were the only two partners. Bai was RBP's sole operating and controlling mind.
The panel found that Bai and RBP received $1,530,000 from investors who were told their funds would be invested in foreign exchange trading. The respondents deposited $129,000 in foreign exchange trading accounts and used the rest of the investors' funds for other purposes.
When describing Bai's and RBP's misconduct, the panel stated, "the respondents clearly misappropriated most of the investors' funds and used them for purposes other than how the respondents represented to the investors that their funds would be used."
The panel directed the parties to make submissions on sanctions according to the schedule set out in the findings.
You may view the findings decision on our website, www.bcsc.bc.ca, by typing Roy Ping Bai, Ping Bai, RBP Consulting or 2018 BCSECCOM 60 in the search box. Information about disciplinary proceedings can be found in the Enforcement section of the BCSC website.

text: Business world has dramatically changed with the advent of computers and internet. Modern business world has grown to be highly competitive and challenging with the entry of many private players, diversification of numerous large business companies as well as the increasing resources constraints.In this era of cut throat competition when business companies are increasingly facing challenges to grow and make progress in-spite of numerous obstacles, the only respite is the use of sophisticated tools and technology and streamlining the customer services with them which promises better progress and leverage. Designing a good and exclusively powerful website which specifies all the features and USPs of the companies is the first and foremost requirement of any business company to start online business. Business companies often seek for the expert services of professional and experienced web designers who will design and develop websites catering to the specific business needs and requirements of the executives. Then these websites need to be hosted on the internet which again need to be optimized by Search engine optimizers. Getting all these services separately by freelancers is fraught with many risks of business losses and others hence business executives seek for the services of a reputed Internet agency which employs professional web designers, search engine optimizers and other software professionals. Now with the rapid popularity of smart-phones leading to its extensive use it will be fool-hardy not to provide the business services through these iPhones and iPads. As customers always have more than one alternative hence they may at any time switch to different companies or service providers when they experience any difficulty in procuring their desired products and services.The iPhone programmers through ipad programmierung will make the websites of their clients compatible with these smart-phones and thus enable the customers to avail the required products and services through the touch-pad of their mobiles. Besides this the business companies and other clients depending on their specific business fields may get particular iPhone App developed which will further streamline the provision of the services or strengthen customers’ relationship with the companies. The iphone programmierung will thus enable the clients, professionals or business executives to use mobiles as powerful promotional tool for their offered products and services. This will thus facilitate them to reach their target customers quickly and promote their business products and services on a very large scale thereby maximizing business revenues and progress. With the new App it will be easy and convenient for the customers to compare the price and other service features of various companies and then select the best and highly affordable one which provides them the maximum benefits in terms of service- value and price.

The Cyberpunk 2077 hype has already taken over the gaming community. Now, it seems like the much-anticipated video game has crossed over to the handset market as well. The fact that the sci-fi RPG is getting its android smartphone stands testament to it. Furthermore, the famous android smartphone brand OnePlus is making the game-inspired handset.
Recently OnePlus had hosted an event where they showcased the latest OnePlus 8T smartphone. At the very same event, they surprisingly announced their partnership with CD Projekt Red, the developer of Cyberpunk 2077. Later, the news was confirmed by the game developer as well. The Chinese company further teased the new edition by giving a small glimpse of the phone’s screen.
However, The Cyberpunk 2077 version of the OnePlus 8T will be a limited edition. Therefore, it will not be available in the market for much longer, and will probably cost significantly more than the standard version of the phone. OnePlus has further stated that the latest edition will go on presale on November 4, just a few weeks ahead of the video game’s official release on November 19. Unfortunately, the limited edition OnePlus 8T will only be available in China. So, users outside China won’t have the option to buy it.
At the moment, we don’t know much about the upcoming version’s specifications. OnePlus CEO, Peter Lau, recently mentioned that more details about the phone would be available next month. However, we assume that the limited edition will have more than just superficial changes. Our guess is the OnePlus 8T Cyberpunk 2077 edition will be much more gaming-oriented compared to the standard edition. Reportedly, the limited edition handset will boast the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 Plus along with an enhanced RAM that will give a boost to the phone’s performance.
It’s not the first time OnePlus has tied up with other franchises to release a limited edition handset. The company has partnered with Marvel, Star Wars, McLaren in the past. However, CD Projekt Red is the first game developer OnePlus has partnered with to date.

Addressing the Interparliamentary Conference on the European Social Charter in Turin, the President of the Italian delegation to PACE, Michele Nicoletti (Italy, SOC) warned that the real danger today were internal fears and divisions and not external threats. "We need a deep and profound unity. Freedom is our real strength, dignity our best achievement. It was the Council of Europe who created a common European home. It therefore bears a historical responsibility to saveguard this unity. It has to be an instrument of peace and justice, and social rights must be at its heart," he said.
"Each and every member state is responsible for the human rights of each and every individual in its territory and it doesn't matter how the individual came to be there. We have to defend the unity and indivisibility of human rights, including social rights as well as sound procedures to protect them," he concluded stressing the importance of the collective complaint procedure.
"Migration is not a new challenge, but public anxiety is now at a high," Gabriella Battaini, Council of Europe Deputy Secretary General stressed. "And while, today, the migration debate might be dominated by questions of quotas and borders, tomorrow it will be about whether or not there are enough jobs to go around; or school places; housing; access to healthcare and social security. Populists and xenophobes are in their element: telling citizens that newcomers will take their jobs and their homes, stirring up resentment and jealousy towards foreigners. It is therefore more important than ever that we, by contrast, pursue the policies and approaches that will help our societies hang together," she concluded.
Silvia Eloisa Bonet (Andorra, SOC), PACE rapporteur on the Turin process stressed that "Social rights are fundamental human rights. Only the enjoyment of socio-economic rights, and social inclusion, allows people to fully enjoy their civil and political rights." Calling for increased parliamentary action, she recalled that parliamentarians play a crucial role in setting political agendas and achieving political commitment to social rights for all, whilst reassuring citizens that this does not represent a threat to their well-being. "We are amongst the main players in building truly inclusive societies," she concluded.

Now that there are a handful of DirectX 12 titles in-market, we can start to measure how AMD and Nvidia measure up in the new API. The results to-date are intriguing, and the trends don’t always point in the same direction.
Oculus will offer free shipping to all preorders as a way to apologize for recent delays in getting hardware out the door, but the company’s Terms of Service are going to be a concern for at least some users.
Microsoft’s Build conference is mostly aimed at developers, but Xbox head Phil Spencer was on hand to talk about the future of that platform as well, and the major gaming enhancements and bug fixes coming to the Windows Store over the next few months.
The Oculus Rift has finally hit reviewers’ hands and there’s an interesting split between the tech press and more mainstream publications. The overall trend is positive, but the Rift’s price and relatively limited launch content could slow mainstream adoption.
Windows 10’s adoption rate has crept above to 20% line, at least intermittently. While that’s progress for Microsoft, the company appears to mostly be converting Windows 8 / 8.1 users, and the current adoption pace won’t push MS past its self-set 1 billion device target by July 29.
There’s a pair of announcements from Intel and Razer today — the former is shipping a new NUC with a massive internal GPU and Razer Core compatibility, while Razer finally hung a price tag on its new external chassis.
22 years ago, System Shock redefined the first person shooter, introducing many gameplay elements that titles today still rely on. Now the studio tasked with rebooting the classic game has shown off the first pre-alpha gameplay footage.

Reprinted from Michigan Live by Ron Fonger on December 30, 2019.
December 30 marks the beginning of the 83rd anniversary of the Flint Sit-Down Strike that forever tied the city to the union movement in the United States and around the world.
The strike began December 30, 1936, when about 50 men sat down on the line inside General Motors’ Fisher Body Plant 2, protesting the transfer of three inspectors who refused to quit their union.
Forty-four grueling days later — on February 11, 1937 — the strike ended when General Motors agreed to recognize the United Auto Workers as the bargaining representative for hourly workers. …

The Seattle Seahawks won the Super Bowl this year and that has opened a whole lot of doors for their players across the roster. It’s not just big names like Richard Sherman, Russell Wilson and Pete Carroll getting attention, but guys like Michael Robinson who aren’t as mainstream as others.
But regardless of what role he plays on the Seahawks, Robinson has moved on in the offseason to a different type of role in a game entirely separate from football. According to The Wrap, Robinson has booked and filmed a guest spot on the soap opera Young and the Restless.
Robinson, who taped his appearance last week, recently told “NFL Access” that “watching the stories” on “The Young and the Restless” is a guilty pleasure of his. Getting wind of his allegiance to the show, producers jumped into action and invited him to appear on the show, and Robinson eagerly accepted.
When football players win the Super Bowl, they typical go to Disney World, get photographed hanging out in Europe or relaxing on a beach somewhere with their newfound fame. For Robinson, starring in a soap opera appears to have been on his list of things to do, but you can’t fault him for being original.

Activision, publishers behind DESTINY and the CALL OF DUTY franchise, put out a press release today stating that “Activision has not included the launch [of DESTINY] in its 2013 outlook and there should be no speculation or expectation of a different result.”
This is big news following yesterday’s unveiling of Bungie‘s new franchise DESTINY. While we now know that a release of this new title will not be in 2013, it’s safe to assume that we could see this game come out in 2014. Although no dates are confirmed.
It’s also worth noting that in the press release Activision also states “Bungie’s new next-generation game engine will allow DESTINY to come to life on both the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, as well as other future console platforms.”
This confirms that DESTINY will still be coming to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and will presumably come to the rumored next-generation consoles that Microsoft and Sony will release.

The Helleborus x gladorfensis hybrids, known as the “Ice n’ Roses” series have begun with the opening of Helleborus ‘Ice n’ Roses Barolo’. This is the earlies flowering and darkest clone in the series…just a shade darker than H. ‘Ice n’ Roses Red’. These are sterile hybrids derived from crossed of Helleborus niger with Helleborus x hybridus. Winter hardiness is Zone 5a-8b.
So beautiful! I wish mine would bloom. Here in zone 9 Houston, I have beautiful plants but no blooms for at least the last 3 years – even after last years hard freeze.
Very interesting that they don’t flower there…most likely not enough chilling hours. Which varieties are you growing?
I have a white spotted lady little one, a winter’s bliss, a ice breaker max, a pink marble and an ivory prince. Thx in advance for your help. Debby
I have a white spotted lady, a winters bliss, an ice breaker max, a pink marble and an ivory prince. thanks in advance.
Spotted Lady is a selection of Helleborus x hybridus. We rate these as good to Zone 8b, so we would not expect them to flower in Zone 9 Houston. Helleborus ‘Winter Bliss’, ‘Ivory Prince’ and ‘Ice Breaker Max’ are also Zone 8b plants, so are most likely never going to flower in Zone 9. Helleborus ‘Pink Marble’, however, is the one you mention that should flower well in Houston, but it does not like shade. This must be planted where it will get 2-3 hours of morning sun. It is so important to pay attention to both zones when you are purchasing plants…i.e. Zone 5b-8b. The first number tells you how far north it will perform, and the second number tells you how far south it will perform. Sadly, some nurseries that don’t really care about customer success in warmer zones and only give you a single number, which is rather worthless to gardeners who are conccerned about heat tolerance. Hope this helps.

The Autumn Statement: Poets or rockers?
In the end, it all comes down to a choice between Hilaire Belloc and Mötley Crüe. That is the choice that will determine the outcome of the next general election.
On the one side are the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats, firm disciples of Belloc and the poet's belief that one should "always keep-a-hold of nurse/ for fear of finding something worse".
Labour, for its part, prefers listening to the Mötley Crüe, particularly when the band thrashes out the lyrics: "Now it's time for change/ Nothing stays the same/ Now it's time for change".
It is through this prism that the politics of George Osborne's Autumn Statement should be viewed.
Despite everything, despite the expected poor figures, the extended austerity, the potentially missed targets, the chancellor's strategic aim will be to convince voters that everything is still on track and they should keep a-hold of Nurse Osborne's hand.
The mañana chancellor?
Let me, at this point, throw out some apparently random phrases: we are making progress; Britain is on the right track; turning back now would be a disaster; the last thing we should do now is change course.
All phrases, you will not be surprised to learn, that the chancellor himself wrote in an article for the Sun newspaper this weekend.
His challenge will be to make this case when he is simultaneously forced to admit that he is going to have to cut spending for longer to reduce the deficit and that he is not on track to meet his target of cutting national debt as a share of national income by 2015.
Quite a big task and one that Labour will insist he is unable to achieve. How can the government claim it is fixing a debt crisis when, er, debt is rising?
The big question - and one that is unanswerable for the moment - is whether the public are willing to remain patient and give Mr Osborne the extra time he is asking for. Do they continue to trust him or do they begin to view him as a "mañana chancellor", one that always promises to deliver recovery tomorrow, never today.
A key part of this argument is not just the chancellor's ability to persuade people that his deficit reduction strategy is right, but also whether they believe it is fair. Can Mr Osborne persuade people of his belief that "we are all in this together"?
This is the test that will be applied to the tax rises he is expected to levy on the wealthy, perhaps by cutting pension tax relief, and to the squeeze on welfare that he is expected to make by saying most benefits should rise by less than inflation.
In many ways, on this fairness issue, the chancellor will be trying to recover ground lost earlier in the year at the Budget. His decision to cut the top rate of tax from 50p to 45p, and the taxes that he imposed on unlikely targets such as warm pasties and static holiday caravans, made it much harder for him to argue that everyone was feeling the pain evenly.
To this end, Mr Osborne is expected to try to claim some ownership for new tax rises for the rich - not least so the Lib Dems cannot do the same.
It is notable that, unlike the run-up to the Budget, there has been an outbreak of shocking coalition discipline with hardly a jot of the Autumn Statement leaked except for those parts leaked officially.
If on the Monday before a major financial statement the headline is about yet another crackdown on tax avoidance, then the Treasury is doing well.
Where that unity between the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats will be more severely strained is when they have to say something about their plans for beyond the 2015 election.
The balance here is for the coalition to say enough for their deficit reduction plans to remain credible while keeping enough back to allow both parties to have distinctive policies that reflect their agendas and priorities in the run up to the election.
For example, in this Autumn Statement, because the Conservatives and Lib Dems cannot agree, there is unlikely to be any new mansion tax or any cut in housing benefits for the under 25s.
Expect those to appear in separate election manifestos instead. For now, the chancellor is likely to set out some more detail about a forthcoming spending review and the first year after the election - but no more.
As for Labour, the Autumn Statement provides both an opportunity and a trap. It gives the opposition a chance to capitalise on the government's poor financial figures (and missed targets), to make the case for change, to place a doubt in the minds of all those who have so far put their faith in the government.
They will argue that the government has failed on its own terms: it has failed to reduce debt. The trap is that if the government sets out its own plans to raise taxes and cut spending, then Labour will face more pressure to say what it would do. The party has yet to set out in any detail how it would cut the deficit and sooner or later it is going to have to make a decision.
So the bottom line for the Autumn Statement is a very simple question: Does it make the government more or less credible on the economy? Amid the flurry of figures and targets and pundits, that is the issue that matters.

NCUA released its 2021 CDRLF Report to Congress, highlighting the fund’s significant and positive impact on credit unions, their members, and their communities. A complete list of awardees and a breakdown and funding by state is also included in the report.
UW Credit Union President/CEO Paul Kundert testified before a House subcommittee hearing on overdraft programs, while CUNA submitted comments noting strong objection to legislation and other government intervention that restricts the ability of credit unions to offer overdraft protection plans.
CUNA’s latest MAP campaign launched this week, encouraging credit unions to inform their members of the resources available at CreditUnionsVote.com. The newly redesigned site launched last week to increase member engagement in the 2022 primaries.
Actions to severely limit the availability of overdraft services could force consumers away from reputable, regulated financial institutions, CUNA wrote a House Financial Services subcommittee Wednesday in advance of its hearing featuring testimony from UW Credit Union President/CEO Paul Kundert.
Banks’ misleading attack over bank sales to credit unions is harmful, CUNA Chief Advocacy Officer Ryan Donovan wrote in American Banker Wednesday. Donovan notes when banks sell to credit unions it’s generally beneficial to all involved.
The concept of proportionality can help increase financial access, and should be addressed in the G20 Leaders’ Declaration, CUNA President/CEO Jim Nussle wrote to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen Tuesday. The letter includes language CUNA requests be included in the Leaders’ Declaration.
Systemic bias in home appraisals discredits the reliability and value of home appraisals, CUNA wrote to the House Financial Services Committee Tuesday, adding that credit unions rely on appraisals for accurate and unbiased opinions on the market values of homes.
The Small Business Administration’s (SBA) government guaranteed lending programs epitomize successful public-private partnerships, CUNA wrote to the House Small Business Committee Tuesday while noting its opposition to any proposals that allow SBA to implement a direct lending program.
CUNA wrote to the House Budget Committee Tuesday on appropriate funding levels for the Treasury's Community Development Financial Institutions Fund, NCUA’s Community Development Revolving Loan Fund, and USAID's Cooperative Development Program.
Limiting the reporting of certain debts would impact accessibility to credit, especially for low- and moderate-income borrowers, CUNA wrote to leadership of the Senate Committee on Housing, Banking, and Urban Affairs for its hearing on the economic impact of medical debt.


Bhopal, May 19 (PTI) Cyber Crime Cell of Madhya Pradesh police today arrested a leader of BJPs Anusuchit Jati Morcha (Scheduled Castes wing) and eight others on the charge of running a sex racket.
BJP expelled Neeraj Shakya, media in-charge of its Scheduled Caste wing, following his arrest.
The accused were running a sex racket through an escort service website, police said.
"On a tip-off, a cyber crime cell team raided a flat in Arera Colony late last night and arrested nine persons. The team also rescued four girls," superintendent of police (cyber cell) Shailendra Singh Chouhan said.
Two of these girls belong to Maharashtra, one is from Meghalaya and another is from Panna in Madhya Pradesh.
The accused targeted the girls from profiles uploaded on job portals, he said.
"They lured such girls by offering jobs of hotel receptionist, call centre executives, etc. They preferred under-educated girls from poor background," he added.
"The customers were introduced to these girls as `relationship managers who will ensure jobs for them," he said.
Apart from 33-year-old Shakya, other arrested accused are Dinesh alias David (23), Suresh Gehlot (33), Ravi Prajapati (26), Harjeet Dhanwani (26), Manoj Gupta (39), Krishnakumar Jaiswal (21), Suresh Belani (30) and Miswauddin (22). Another person, Subhash alias Vir Dwivedi, is absconding.
State BJP said Shakya was immediately expelled.
"After getting the information that Neeraj Shakya was involved in this immoral act, state president Nandkumar Singh Chouhan expelled him from the party with immediate effect," BJPs state media in-charge Lokendra Parashar said. PTI ADU MAS KRK


To understand how devices communicate within a network. It is important to understand the roles of both the network layer addresses and the data link layer addresses.
Role of the Network Layer Addresses
The network layer addresses, or IP addresses, show the original source and destination. An IP address has two parts:
- Network portion
The left-most part of the address that indicates which network the IP address is a member. All devices on the same network will have the same network portion of the address.
- Host Portion
The remaining part of the address that identifies a specific device on the network. The host portion is unique for each device on the network.
Note: The subnet mask identifies the network portion of an address from the host portion.
In this example, we have a client computer PC1 FTP server on the same IP network.
- Source IP address – The IP address of the sending device, the client computer PC1: 192.168.5.100.
- Destination IP address – The IP address of the receiving device, FTP server: 192.168.5.102
Notice in the figure that the network portion of both the source IP address and destination IP address are on the same network.
Role of the Data Link Layer Addresses
When the sender and receiver of the IP packet are on the same network, the data link frame directly send to the receiving device. On an Ethernet network, the data link addresses are known as Ethernet (Media Access Control) addresses. MAC address physically embedded on the Ethernet NIC.MAC Address also called Physical address.
- Source MAC address This is the data link address, or the Ethernet MAC address, of the device that sends the data link frame with the encapsulated IP packet. The MAC address of the Ethernet NIC of PC1 is AA-AA-AA-AA-AA-AA, written in hexadecimal notation.
- Destination MAC address When the receiving device is on the same network as the sending device; this is the data link address of the receiving device. In this example, the destination MAC address is the MAC address of the FTP server: CC-CC-CC-CC-CC-CC, written in hexadecimal notation.
The frame with the encapsulated IP packet can now be transmitted from Host A directly to the FTP server.
