LORD KERR: (with whom Lady Hale, Lord Mance, Lord Wilson and Lord
Hughes agree)
1. Ewa Michalak began employment as a doctor with the Mid-Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust in April 2002. She remained in that employment until she was dismissed in July 2008. Following her dismissal, Dr Michalak brought an unfair dismissal claim against the Trust in the Employment Tribunal. The tribunal found that her dismissal had been unfair and contaminated by sex and race discrimination and victimisation. Dr Michalak received a compensation award and a public apology from the Trust.
2. Before the tribunal had issued its determination, and, on foot of Dr Michalak's dismissal, the Trust had reported her to the General Medical Council (the GMC) in relation to her conduct, so that the question of whether she should continue to be registered as a medical practitioner could be considered. The Trust later accepted that there had not been proper grounds on which to refer her to the GMC. She remains registered as a medical practitioner, therefore.
3. In the meantime, however, the GMC had begun fitness to practise proceedings against Dr Michalak under Part V of the Medical Act 1983. She claims that the GMC discriminated against her in the way in which it pursued those proceedings. She also alleges that the discrimination extended to the GMC's failure to investigate complaints that she had made against other doctors employed by the Trust.
4. Dr Michalak presented a claim to the Employment Tribunal in relation to these complaints in August 2013. The respondents named on the application form were the GMC, Niall Dickson, its chief executive, and Simon Haywood, an investigation officer of the GMC. They are the current appellants, although for all intents and purposes, the effective appellant is the GMC. It is agreed that the second
and third appellants' cases do not require separate consideration.
5. The appellants applied to have Dr Michalak's complaint to the tribunal struck out on the basis that the tribunal did not have jurisdiction to hear the claims. The complaints of discrimination and breach of contract against the GMC relating to the period before 1 October 2010 were struck out. The tribunal decided that it did have jurisdiction in relation to complaints regarding unlawful sex, race and disability
discrimination after that date but not in relation to breach of contract. So far as the complaints against the second and third appellants were concerned, the complaint was confined to one of unlawful discrimination and the tribunal considered that it had jurisdiction to entertain this complaint.
6. The appellants appealed, arguing that section 120(7) of the Equality Act 2010 precluded jurisdiction, since judicial review afforded an appeal for the acts complained of. The Employment Appeal Tribunal (Langstaff P) agreed and allowed the appeal. An appeal against that decision was successful before the Court of Appeal (Moore-Bick, Kitchin and Ryder LLJ) [2016] ICR 628. It held that the Employment Tribunal had jurisdiction to deal with Dr Michalak's complaints and remitted the case to the tribunal for further case management.
7. The appeal to this court raises a single issue. It is whether the availability of judicial review proceedings in respect of decisions or actions of the first appellant excludes the jurisdiction of the Employment Tribunal by virtue of section 120(7) of the Equality Act.
Section 120(7)
8. Under section 120(1)(a) of the Equality Act, an employment tribunal has jurisdiction to determine a complaint relating to a person's work. But section 120(7) provides that "subsection (1)(a) does not apply to a contravention of section 53 in so far as the act complained of may, by virtue of an enactment, be subject to an appeal or proceedings in the nature of an appeal". Section 53 deals with discrimination by qualifications bodies. Section 54 defines qualifications bodies. In its material parts, it provides:
"(2) A qualifications body is an authority or body which can confer a relevant qualification.
(3) A relevant qualification is an authorisation, qualification, recognition, registration, enrolment, approval or certification which is needed for, or facilitates engagement in, a particular trade or profession.
(5) A reference to conferring a relevant qualification includes a reference to renewing or extending the conferment of a relevant qualification."
9. All parties accept, therefore, that the GMC is plainly a qualifications body. It is an independent organisation which regulates the profession of doctors within the United Kingdom under the Medical Act 1983. Its main objective, under section
1(1A) of that Act, is "to protect, promote and maintain the health and safety of the public". The GMC maintains the register of doctors and is responsible for certain undergraduate and postgraduate medical education, and for the training and revalidation of doctors. Under Part V of the Medical Act and the General Medical Council (Fitness to Practise) Rules 2004, the GMC has power to investigate complaints against doctors.
10. Under the "fitness to practise" jurisdiction, the GMC receives and considers complaints about medical practitioners. Where it is decided that the complaints warrant an inquiry, the GMC prepares the evidence and the drafting of allegations. Any hearing that follows is conducted by the Medical Practitioners' Tribunal Service. It is described as a part of the GMC but is independent of it.
11. A decision to erase a medical practitioner's name from the register or to suspend, or to impose conditions on his or her registration may be appealed to the High Court under sections 38 and 40 of the Medical Act. The High Court may allow the appeal and quash the original decision; it may also substitute a new decision for the original decision; or remit the matter for re-hearing.
12. The Medical Act also provides for various other types of appeal against fitness to practise decisions. To take an example, section 41A(10) states that the
"relevant court" has the power to terminate an interim order of suspension, and section 41A(14) states that "relevant court" has the same meaning as in section
40(5). Section 40(5) contains the definition of the "relevant court" as the High Court.
In effect, therefore, an appeal against the making of an interim order of suspension lies to the High Court. But neither this nor any of the other possible statutory avenues of appeal is relevant to the respondent's position. Her complaints do not relate to any action by the GMC as to her registration. Her series of claims of discrimination on the part of the GMC relate to the manner in which it pursued its fitness to practise application and its failure to investigate her complaints against other doctors in the trust where she had been employed. No statutory appeal is available to her to pursue those complaints.
13. It is accepted, however, that she could seek judicial review of the decisions that are said to constitute the various acts of discrimination. The essential issue in
the case, therefore, is whether the availability of judicial review animates the exemption contained in section 120(7). This in turn depends on whether that remedy can properly be described as "a proceeding in the nature of the appeal" and whether it is available to the respondent "by virtue of an enactment". It is important to note that both these conditions must be satisfied before section 120(7) comes into play. Both issues will have to be examined separately but, first, one must look at the context in which they require to be decided and that is provided principally by the Equality Act itself.
The Equality Act
14. The purpose of the Equality Act 2010, as explained in the Explanatory Memorandum (para 10), is "to harmonise discrimination law, and to strengthen the law to support progress on equality". The Act repealed and replaced existing equality legislation, including the Equal Pay Act 1970, the Sex Discrimination Act
1975, the Race Relations Act 1976 and the Disability Discrimination Act 1995.
15. In these various items of legislation, Parliament provided for discrimination claims in the work, employment and occupation contexts to be dealt with by a specialist tribunal, first called the Industrial Tribunal and now known as the Employment Tribunal. The establishment of these specialist tribunals reflected the growing awareness of the importance which should be attached to equal treatment rights in the field of employment, not least because those rights are protected under European Union law - see, for instance, article 16 of the Framework Equality Directive (2000/78/EC) which required member states to take measures to ensure that any laws, regulations and administrative provisions contrary to the principle of equal treatment were abolished.
16. Not only was the Employment Tribunal designed to be a specialised forum for the resolution of disputes between employee and employer, it was given a comprehensive range of remedies which could be deployed to meet the variety of difficulties that might be encountered in the employment setting. Thus, for instance, the tribunal may make a declaration as to the rights of the complainant and the respondent in relation to the matters that arise in the proceedings before it (section
124(2)(a)); it may order a respondent employer to pay compensation to a complainant employee (section 124(2)(b)); and it may make a recommendation (section 124(2)(c)). If a recommendation is not followed, the tribunal has power
(under section 124(7)) to increase the award of compensation, or, if an award has
not been already made, to make one.
17. These considerations provide the backdrop to the proper interpretation of section 120(7). Part of the context, of course, is that appeals from decisions by
qualification bodies other than to the Employment Tribunal are frequently available. It would obviously be undesirable that a parallel procedure in the Employment Tribunal should exist alongside such an appeal route or for there to be a proliferation of satellite litigation incurring unnecessary cost and delay. Where a statutory appeal is available, employment tribunals should be robust in striking out proceedings before them which are launched instead of those for which specific provision has been made. Employment tribunals should also be prepared to examine critically, at an early stage, whether statutory appeals are available.
18. Parliament plainly intended that section 120(7) would exclude jurisdiction for certain challenges against decisions of qualification bodies. The rationale for doing so is plain. Where Parliament has provided for an alternative route of challenge to a decision, either by appeal or through an appeal-like procedure, it makes sense for the appeal procedure to be confined to that statutory route. This avoids the risk of expensive and time-consuming satellite proceedings and provides convenience for appellant and respondent alike. That rationale can only hold, however, where the alternative route of appeal or review is capable of providing an equivalent means of redress.
19. Quite apart from the range of remedies available to it, the Employment Tribunal, as a forum for dealing with complaints by employees concerning their employment, has distinct advantages for complainants. It is a specialist tribunal with expertise in hearing discrimination claims across a range of sectors; it is designed to be accessible to litigants in person; and it is generally a cost-free jurisdiction (Rule
74 of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure).
Proceedings in the nature of an appeal
20. In its conventional connotation, an "appeal" (if it is not qualified by any words of restriction) is a procedure which entails a review of an original decision in all its aspects. Thus, an appeal body or court may examine the basis on which the original decision was made, assess the merits of the conclusions of the body or court from which the appeal was taken and, if it disagrees with those conclusions, substitute its own. Judicial review, by contrast, is, par excellence, a proceeding in which the legality of or the procedure by which a decision was reached is challenged. It is, of course, true that in the human rights field, the proportionality of a decision may call for examination in a judicial review proceeding. And there have been suggestions that proportionality should join the pantheon of grounds for challenge in the domestic, non-human rights field - see, for instance, Kennedy v Charity Commission (Secretary of State for Justice intervening) [2014] UKSC 20; [2015] AC 455, paras 51 and 54; and Pham v Secretary of State for the Home Department (Open Society Justice Initiative intervening) [2015] UKSC 19; [2015] 1 WLR 1591, paras 96, 113 and 115; and Keyu v Secretary of State for Foreign and
Commonwealth Affairs [2015] UKSC 69; [2016] AC 1355, paras 133, 143 and 274-
276. But an inquiry into the proportionality of a decision should not be confused with a full merits review. As was said in Keyu at para 272:
"… a review based on proportionality is not one in which the reviewer substitutes his or her opinion for that of the decision- maker. At its heart, proportionality review requires of the person or agency that seeks to defend a decision that they show that it was proportionate to meet the aim that it professes to achieve. It does not demand that the decision-maker bring the reviewer to the point of conviction that theirs was the right decision in any absolute sense."
21. Judicial review, even on the basis of proportionality, cannot partake of the nature of an appeal, in my view. A complaint of discrimination illustrates the point well. The task of any tribunal, charged with examining whether discrimination took place, must be to conduct an open-ended inquiry into that issue. Whether discrimination is in fact found to have occurred must depend on the judgment of the body conducting that inquiry. It cannot be answered by studying the reasons the alleged discriminator acted in the way that she or he did and deciding whether that lay within the range of reasonable responses which a person or body in the position of the alleged discriminator might have had. The latter approach is the classic judicial review investigation.
22. On a successful judicial review, the High Court merely either declares the decision to be unlawful or quashes it. It does not substitute its own decision for that of the decision-maker. In that sense, a claim for judicial review does not allow the decision of the GMC to be reversed. It would be anomalous for an appeal or proceedings in the nature of an appeal to operate under those constraints. An appeal in a discrimination case must confront directly the question whether discrimination has taken place, not whether the GMC had taken a decision which was legally open to it.
23. The genesis of the view that judicial review was in the nature of an appeal lies in the obiter dictum observations of His Honour Judge McMullen QC in Tariquez-Zaman v General Medical Council (UKEAT/0292/06/DM). In that case, the issue was whether section 54(2) of the Race Relations Act 1976 (which was in similar terms to section 120(7) of the Equality Act) precluded the Employment
Tribunal from entertaining the complainant's claim. Judge McMullen's conclusion on the issue was obiter because the claimant had voluntarily relinquished his registration. There was therefore no action by the GMC on which Dr Zaman could found his claim. At para 31 of his judgment, Judge McMullen dealt with the argument that judicial review was in the nature of an appeal in these terms:
"… judicial review is aptly described as proceedings in the nature of an appeal. Judges in the administrative court are familiar with dealing with cases under the Medical Act in the form of appeals proper; thus, they constitute the obvious destination intended by Parliament for disputes of this nature, once a decision had been made at first instance. So, if I were required to make a decision, I would uphold the submission that section 54(2) ousts the jurisdiction of the ET because, in this case, proceedings can be brought by way of judicial review."
24. Judge McMullen had relied on the decision of the Court of Appeal in the case of Khan v General Medical Council [1996] ICR 1032. In that case, the appellant's application for full registration as a qualified medical practitioner had been refused by the GMC after a five-year maximum period of limited registration. His application for full registration in accordance with section 25 of the Medical Act
1983 was refused by the GMC. He then applied to the Review Board for Overseas
Qualified Practitioners for a review pursuant to section 29 of the Act. That application failed, as did a second application and request for review. The appellant then made a complaint to an industrial tribunal that he had been indirectly discriminated against on the ground of his race within the meaning of section 1(1)(b) of the Race Relations Act 1976, contrary to section 12(1) of the Act. On a preliminary issue the industrial tribunal found that the right under section 29 of the Medical Act 1983 to apply for a review of the decision of the General Medical Council was a proceeding, "in the nature of an appeal" for the purposes of section
54(2) of the Race Relations Act 1976 and the appellant's right to present a claim
under section 54(1) was therefore excluded.
25. The appellant's appeal to the Court of Appeal was, unsurprisingly, dismissed. It was clear that his application to the Review Board constituted a proceeding in the nature of an appeal. The question of whether judicial review, as opposed to review by a differently constituted body, would qualify as a proceeding in the nature of an appeal, was not germane to the issue in Khan. In Zaman, however, Judge McMullen found a passage from the judgment of Hoffmann LJ to be particularly instructive. At 1042, Hoffmann LJ had observed:
"It is a short question of construction which, in my judgment, admits of an easy answer, namely, 'Yes'. Section 29 of the Act of 1983 allows the decision of the General Medical Council to be reversed by a differently constituted set of persons. For present purposes, I think that this is the essence of what is meant by 'proceedings in the nature of an appeal'. I note that in Wootton v Central Land Board [1957] 1 WLR 424 Lord Evershed MR had to consider whether an application to the Lands Tribunal by a party who was dissatisfied with the
determination of a land value by the Central Land Board was in the nature of an appeal. He maintained that it was. He said that it might fairly be described as an appeal to another body having the right either of affirming the development value or
altering it."
26. In saying that the decision could "be reversed by a differently constituted set of persons", Hoffmann LJ did not have in mind a judicial review challenge, in my opinion. It was because the Review Board could, by the recommendation that they made to the President of the GMC, effectively reverse the decision of the GMC, that he considered that a review was in the nature of an appeal. The review by the Board was open-ended and the decision that they were entitled to reach was unconstrained and not inhibited by the circumstance that the GMC had reached a particular decision.
27. Hoffmann LJ did refer to judicial review later in his judgment. At p 1043, dealing with an argument that claimants such as Dr Khan were not able to pursue claims for race or sex discrimination if they were not permitted to make complaints to an industrial tribunal, he said this:
"For my part, I do not see why [an application for review under section 29] should not be regarded as an effective remedy against sex or race discrimination in the kind of case with which section 12(1) of the Race Relations Act 1976 deals. That concerns qualifications for professions and trades. Parliament appears to have thought that, although the industrial tribunal is often called a specialist tribunal and has undoubted expertise in matters of sex and racial discrimination, its advantages in providing an effective remedy were outweighed by the even greater specialisation in a particular field or trade or professional qualification of statutory tribunals such as the review board, since the review board undoubtedly has a duty to give effect to the provisions of section 12 of the Act of 1976: see per Taylor LJ in R v Department of Health, Ex p Gandhi [1991] ICR 805, 814. This seems to me a perfectly legitimate view for Parliament to have taken. Furthermore, section 54(2) makes it clear that decisions of the review board would themselves be open to judicial review on the ground that the board failed to have proper regard to the provisions of the Race Relations Act 1976. In my view, it cannot be said that the Medical Act 1983 does not provide the effective remedy
required by Community law."
28. It is important to understand that Hoffmann LJ was not referring here to judicial review as a possible candidate for inclusion in the category of a proceeding in the nature of an appeal. His remarks in this passage were made in the context of an argument that, in order to have an effective remedy, a claimant had to be allowed to present a complaint to the industrial tribunal. He was merely pointing out that the availability of the review procedure, especially when considered with the opportunity to apply for judicial review of that review provided an adequate remedy.
29. More importantly, this passage emphasises the breadth of the review procedure. As Hoffmann LJ pointed out, the review board was bound to have proper regard to the provisions of the Race Relations Act. It could only do so by conducting a scrupulous inquiry as to whether the discrimination alleged had in fact taken place
- in other words, a full-blown inquiry into the allegations of discrimination was required. I do not consider, therefore, that the decision in Khan supports the proposition that section 54(2) ousted the jurisdiction of the Employment Tribunal because proceedings could have been brought by way of judicial review.
30. Judge McMullen returned to this theme in his later decision in Jooste v General Medical Council [2012] EQLR 1048. In that case Dr Jooste claimed that the acts of an "Interim Orders Panel" of the GMC suspending his registration were discriminatory under the Equality Act. Judge McMullen, sitting in the Employment Appeal Tribunal, upheld the decision of the Employment Tribunal, that it had no jurisdiction to hear the claimant's complaints against the GMC as the remedy available in judicial review was an alternative statutory remedy under section
120(7). At para 44 of his judgment he said that "an appeal simply is the opportunity to have a decision considered again by a different body of people with power to overturn it." For the reasons given earlier, I cannot agree with that statement. An appeal is different from a review of the legal entitlement to make a decision; it involves an examination of what decision should be taken in the dispute between the parties. The Court of Appeal in the present case concluded that Jooste had been wrongly decided. I agree.
By virtue of an enactment
31. The GMC accepts that when the provisions which preceded section 120(7) were originally enacted they did not exclude decisions subject to challenge by way of the prerogative writs. That is because judicial review originated as a common law procedure and not by virtue of any enactment. The appellant argues, however, that judicial review proceedings became proceedings "by virtue of an enactment" on the coming into force of the Senior Courts Act 1981. Section 31(1) of that Act provides:
"(1) An application to the High Court for one or more of the following forms of relief, namely -
(a) a mandatory, prohibiting or quashing order;
(b) a declaration or injunction under subsection (2);
(c) an injunction under section 30 restraining a person not entitled to do so from acting in an office to which that section applies,
shall be made in accordance with rules of court by a procedure
to be known as an application for judicial review."
32. The appellants' case misconstrues both section 31(1) of the Senior Courts Act and section 120(7) of the Equality Act 2010. It rests on a misunderstanding of the nature of judicial review. Judicial review is not a procedure which arises "by virtue of" any statutory source. Its origins lie in the common law. As Laws LJ said in R (Beeson) v Dorset County Council [2002] EWCA Civ 1812:
"The basis of judicial review rests in the free-standing principle that every action of a public body must be justified by law, and at common law the High Court is the arbiter of all claimed justifications." (at para 17) [emphasis added]
See also the observations of Lady Hale in R (Cart) v The Upper Tribunal [2011] UKSC 28; [2012] 1 AC 663, para 37:
"… the scope of judicial review is an artefact of the common law whose object is to maintain the rule of law - that is to ensure that, within the bounds of practical possibility, decisions are taken in accordance with the law, and in particular the law
which Parliament has enacted, and not otherwise."
33. Section 31 of the Senior Courts Act did not establish judicial review as a procedure, but rather regulated it. The remedies remain the same as those under the prerogative writs. All that section 31 does is to require that applications for judicial review be brought by way of a new procedure under the rules of court. The point
was put succinctly and clearly in terms with which I fully agree by Moore-Bick LJ
at para 53 of his judgment in the Court of Appeal in the present case, where he said:
"… the words 'by virtue of an enactment' in section 120(7) are directed to cases in which specific provision is made in legislation for an appeal, or proceedings in the nature of an appeal, in relation to decisions of a particular body, as, for example, in Khan v General Medical Council [1996] ICR 1032. They are not … intended to refer to the general right to seek judicial review merely because, since 1981, that happens to have been put on a statutory footing."
34. Another way of looking at the question is to consider what the effect would be of the repeal of the 1981 Act. I suggest that the High Court's jurisdiction would remain, even if the procedure by which it would have to be brought might require to be provided for in any amending legislation.
35. Section 120(7) is part of a carefully constructed statutory scheme. It is the most recent incarnation of similarly worded provisions in legislation such as is mentioned in para 14 above. Before 1981, there could have been no question of judicial review coming within any of the predecessor provisions. Given the importance of judicial review, it is to be assumed that Parliament would have had the procedure in mind when it formulated the phrase now contained in section
120(7). Had it, in 1981 or in 2010, intended to remove all decisions by qualification bodies whose decisions were susceptible to judicial review from the jurisdiction of the Employment Tribunal, one would surely expect that to be provided for expressly.
36. In my view, judicial review in the context of the present case is not in the nature of an appeal. Nor is it a remedy provided by reason of an enactment. I would dismiss the appeal.
37. I agree with Lord Kerr that the appeal should be dismissed broadly for the reasons he gives. My only additional observations are these:
i) I would not circumscribe the development of judicial review or its ability to cater, in appropriate circumstances, for close examination of a claim on its merits: see eg the authorities which Lord Kerr cites in para 20;
ii) judicial review may, in appropriate circumstances, lead the court to a conclusion that there exists only one possible outcome of a relevant legislative or executive decision-making process: see eg In re G (Adoption: Unmarried Couple) [2008] UKHL 38; [2009] AC 173, para 144;
iii) conventional appellate review is itself not infrequently circumscribed by considerations of respect for the original or first instance decision-maker: see eg the discussion in Assicurazioni Generali SpA v Arab Insurance Group (Practice Note) [2002] EWCA Civ 1642; [2003] 1 WLR 577; see also Datec Electronic Holdings Ltd v United Parcels Services Ltd [2007] UKHL 23; [2007] 1 WLR 1325.
38. Here, however, the Employment Tribunal offers the natural and obvious means of recourse in respect of the respondent's surviving complaints. There is no need in this context to strain the ordinary usage or understanding of the concept of
"appeal" to embrace judicial review. In parenthesis, it is unsurprising to find that, where the Medical Act 1983 does allow an appeal, it does so expressly: section 40. Finally, the history, which Lord Kerr recounts under the rubric "By virtue of an enactment" in paras 31 to 35, points very strongly against judicial review having become, suddenly but silently in 1981, a relevant "appeal" for the purposes of the similarly worded predecessor provisions to section 120(7) of the Equality Act 2010.

You will feel so proud of yourself when it's done in no time!
For an adult/bigger-kid size bag the fabric requirement are 2 coordinating half yards.
For a smaller child's bag you will only need two pieces at ⅜ of a yard.
I will demonstrate with the larger bag
and give the measurements for the child's bag at the end.
First: from both half-yard pieces, cut a 4″ strip off one end.
This will be for your strap.
Cut the remaining piece down to 14″ x 30″.
(You can save the remnant for a pocket, if you want.)
Bring the seams to the center and match them up.
Press seams open.
You will now have your lining-piece folded in half on one side and
your outside piece folded in half on the other.
for turning right side out. Sew ⅜″ seams on both sides.
roll the lining fabric above the bag about ¼″.
Pin to hold fabrics in place and press.
AND at the top of the lining fabric.
and sew down both long sides using a ½″ seam allowance.
Now is the time to decide how long you want your bag strap.
(This strap is meant to be worn diagonally across the chest.)
For an adult, it's about the right length as it is.
For an older child, you might want to cut-off a few inches.
If you leave one end with selvage edges on the end you don't
need to do anything to the strap before you start sewing.
If you cut-off one end, you may want to tuck raw edges under and press.
Now, pinch the end of the strap in half to find the center.
creating a rectangle to secure the strap in place.
Repeat all the same steps.
(You will probably want to shorten the strap.)
These are so fast, you really might get addicted. And the possibilities are endless.
We used a heavier, canvas fabric on the cowboy bag.
The other bag is made from the Wonderland by MoMo collection for Moda.
Have fun!
(and please feel free to ask any questions so I can clarify these instructions where needed!)
**A couple of people have asked where this fabric is from:
It is part of the Wonderland by MoMo collection for Moda, Spring 2009.

This dataset was first added to MfE Data Service on 10 Feb 2016.
Soil moisture is important for plant growth. A lack of moisture content over a growing season is a good indicator of drought, which can have social, environmental, and economic impacts. Increasing temperatures and changes in rainfall patterns are expected to increase the frequency and intensity of drought in many regions. Growing season soil moisture deficits are estimated by the potential evapotranspiration deficit, the difference between rainfall and evapotranspiration.
This dataset is one of a series that show annual average soil moisture (potential evapotranspiration deficit (PED)) across New Zealand for years 1972 to 2014.
Evapotranspiration is the loss of water by evaporation and plant transpiration. PED is the difference between estimated evapotranspiration and rainfall.
We produced maps of the annual PED total (in millimetres) for every growing season (calculated as July–June years) from 1972 to 2013. Care should be taken when comparing maps from year to year – days may be missing from the PED GIS data, and data may have been interpolated to complete the dataset. The interpolation accuracy is lowest in areas of high elevation, where there are fewer climate stations and complex terrain affects accuracy. Climate stations may also open and close, affecting the accuracy of the data provided.
This dataset relates to the "Soil moisture and drought" measure on the Environmental Indicators, Te taiao Aotearoa website.

How much does it cost to get taxes done?
Hiring a professional to help with income tax preparation can be priceless. Pro help can mean no mistakes and a maximized tax return. The cost to get your income taxes done depends on the professional you hire. Tax attorneys or in-demand CPAs will often have the highest rates for their services. Next in the pricing tier are enrolled agents, who will usually have higher rates than individuals solely working with a preparer tax identification number (PTIN). Nationally, the average cost of income tax preparation ranges from $150 to $190. Income tax preparation prices can also vary based on where you live and the complexity of your tax returns. Here are some examples of average income tax preparation prices from an enrolled agent:
- Taxpayers filing only a W-2 tax form: $50.
- Taxpayers filing a W-2 along with additional tax forms such 1099-INT and 1098-E: $150.
- Taxpayers with several tax forms and one or two additional considerations such as a rental property, investment transactions, K-1 income, 1099-MISC or a simple small business: $225.
- Taxpayers with multiple activities (rentals, K-1 income, small business, etc.), several stock transactions and more: $395.
Nationally, the average hourly rate nationally for a tax prep professional ranges between $150 and $450.
What's the best way to set up a consultation or an appointment with a tax preparer during the COVID-19 pandemic?
The best way to conduct an appointment during the COVID-19 pandemic is virtually, as this will ensure that you remain within the CDC's social distancing guidelines.
Ask tax professional near you if they would be willing to give a consultation via phone call, Zoom, Skype or other video conferencing software to discuss the scope of work. Also, ask them how they handle payments and whether they will be able to conduct all of their services remotely.
Are there ways to be safe if I hire a tax preparer when social distancing?
If you decide to hire a tax preparer near you, ask if the tax preparation can be handled remotely. Most accounting firms and tax preparers may be willing to offer this. Before you hire a tax preparer, contact them and ask about their procedure for working virtually.
How can I find out if a tax preparer os considered an essential COVID-19 service provider?
To find out which services are deemed essential in your area, visit the official government website of your state or city and look for information about essential services.
For information on a national level, visit CISA's publication on critical infrastructure workers. However, not all jurisdictions follow CISA's definitions of critical infrastructure.
Is it worth it to pay someone to do your taxes?
There are several reasons it could be worth it to have an experienced professional do your taxes instead of self-filing. For example, it can help reduce the chance of you making a mistake that could land you in trouble with the IRS. And, it could save you time for other important tasks. If you have a side job, rental property or many assets, having someone do your taxes can pay off in the short- and long-run.
Contact several tax professionals near you to discuss your needs and get free estimates. Then, decide if hiring a pro is right for you.
Is it better to have a CPA do your taxes?
Hiring a certified public accountant (CPA) could be a better option instead of doing your taxes by yourself, but it depends on your tax situation and preferences. Having a CPA do your taxes is usually recommended if you have a business or any type of side job, or if you've been contacted by the IRS for a tax-related matter. Others who can benefit are those who own rental properties or have many assets. You can also hire a CPA if you need help understanding what deductions or credit you might qualify for.
What is a tax preparer called?
A tax preparer can take the form of several different job titles, but they must have an IRS Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN) to be authorized to prepare federal tax returns, according to the IRS. Some titles may include enrolled agents, who are licensed by the IRS, as well as certified public accountants (CPAs). Some tax attorneys may offer tax preparation and planning services, though not all are qualified to do this.
Do tax preparers offer remote or virtual services?
Contact local CPAs or tax professionals to see if they can offer their services without in-person contact. Many firms can operate remotely or virtually, and others that typically operate face-to-face may be changing their procedures to keep up with social distancing guidelines.
Does a tax preparer need to enter my home?
It is not typically necessary for a tax preparer to enter your home. Many CPAs and tax professionals operate remotely. Ask the tax professional if they can conduct their services remotely, and see what precautions they have in place during social distancing.
Can I use digital payments to pay for tax preparation services?
Before you hire a tax professional, visit their business profile to see how they handle payments. Many CPAs and tax experts accept digital payments through Venmo, PayPal, Square Cash, Zelle and other online platforms. More businesses may be changing their payment methods to accommodate social distancing. Check with your tax preparer to see how they handle payments.

A UK Court of Appeals has ruled that a High Court judge's decision that Samsung did not violate Apple's EU design rights for the iPad will stand, according to the BBC. Unless Apple decides to appeal to the UK's Supreme Court, it will be forced to advertise publicly that Samsung did not copy the iPad, despite Apple's vociferous claims to the contrary.
Apple had previously filed lawsuits against Samsung in the US and Germany, alleging (among other things) that Samsung copied the design of the iPad for its Galaxy Tab line of tablets. Samsung retaliated by filing a lawsuit in the UK to have its designs declared non-infringing. The UK was chosen as a tactical venue because its High Court tends to rule in favor alleged infringers over patent or design rightsholders, and because any High Court ruling would likely influence German courts' decisions.
In July, High Court Judge Colin Birss ruled that the Galaxy Tab designs were different enough not to confuse consumers. Samsung's tablets "do not have the same understated and extreme simplicity which is possessed by the Apple design," Birss noted. "They are not as cool."
Birss later ruled that Apple would have to post a notice of the ruling on its UK website, as well as advertise in prominent UK publications that Samsung did not copy the iPad. The punishment was designed to "correct the damaging impression" Apple had given Samsung that it was a copycat.
The three-judge appeals panel agreed with Birss' stipulations. "The acknowledgment must come from the horse's mouth," the ruling said. "Nothing short of that will be sure to do the job completely."
Judge Sir Robin Jacob explained that the case ultimately wasn't about whether or not Samsung "copied" the iPad. "Infringement of a registered design does not involve any question of whether there was copying: the issue is simply whether the accused design is too close to the registered design according to the tests laid down in the law," he said.
Jacob noted that Samsung's prominent logo on the front, the differences in edge shapes, and the fact that Galaxy Tabs are "altogether busier" make them different enough from Apple's registered design as a matter of law.
Samsung, for its part, continued to hammer on the notion that the global dispute is nothing more than Apple trying to lay claim to rounded rectangles. "We continue to believe that Apple was not the first to design a tablet with a rectangular shape and rounded corners and that the origins of Apple's registered design features can be found in numerous examples of prior art," a Samsung spokesperson told the BBC.
Apple did not respond this morning to our request for comment on the matter.

Search within the 86656 Museum website results
Activate up to five simultaneous timelines, select the type of content you want to see and
with a simple drag and drop, place them in the desired place.
The Timeline allows for a simultaneous comparison between the artists and works in the Museo del Prado and up to four knowledge layers.
The information in the Museo del Prado layer derives from the database of the Museum's collection and includes all the paintings, sculptures and works of art in the collection, created between the 12th and 19th centuries.
The information from the other layers derives from Wikipedia and Wikidata.
In the Museo del Prado layer the works and artists appear at the start of the year of creation of the work or of the artist's birth.
The number and ordering of the layers can be configured by the user from the cog icon located at the top right of the screen.
The Museo del Prado layer and the historical context layer are pre-programmed to appear.
The Museo del Prado layer is fixed and permanent and will always appear at the bottom of the Timeline.
The configurator allows the user to decide the order in which he/she wishes to show each layer by simply dragging the layers, changing their order and applying the changes.
Each layer has the option to show works of art, artists or both at once. In the case of the historical context layer there is the option to choose between rulers, historical events or both.
In the case of elements such as individuals, monarchies, historical events, etc., the lifelines show the length of their lives or duration. In the case of individuals, the lifeline runs from their birth date to death date. In the case of a war, it runs from its start to its end.
Elements can be selected from the predictive search tool located at the top of the screen. The search tool offers results for all the knowledge layers even if they are not visible at that moment.
By selecting an element that is not in a visible layer, the visible layers in the Timeline will be eliminated and will be replaced by the layers in which the element searched for is located, in addition to the Museo del Prado layer.
The elements selected can be eliminated using the "X" button in the search box.
The browsing focus button, which appears at the lower right of the screen, allows users to return to the starting point of the search or the selection of an element when that element is still active.
By double clicking on an entry for an artist or work detailed information on that element will appear, as well as a series of options:
Show work or artist in context: in the layers visible at that moment all the elements contemporary with a work or the artist's lifetime will be highlighted, with a margin of 5 years prior to and after that period in the Timeline.
See artist and his/her works: this option highlights both an artist and his/her works. This option is available for artists in the Museo del Prado layer.
The Timeline automatically saves the information from the last session in the browser. On exiting and reentering the Timeline the user's last configuration preferences and search will be saved.
The browser's URL stores the parameters of the search or configuration at any one moment. As a result, this URL can be saved for later or sent to another device in which it will appear with the same configuration.

Blue Devils capture first hockey regional since 2007
GAYLORD — The Otsego County Sportsplex has been a House of Horrors for Sault High during the regional final over the last few years, so when the Blue Devils went into the locker room up by just two goals after two periods, they were still a little worried.
"Nervous," junior Will Gauthier said. "We were wanting to get more goals and have a bigger lead."
He took care of that pretty quickly. He passed the puck up to Eric Hillock, who beat Alpena goalie Bret LeTourneau for a power-play goal 2 minutes, 49 seconds into the third period, and Gauthier assisted on a Ryan Dalsky goal at the 6:36 mark as the Blue Devils won their first regional title since 2008, 4-0 over the Wildcats.
The Blue Devils will face Houghton on Wednesday in Marquette.
"When you're only up by two, you get thinking," Blue Devils coach John Ferroni said. "If they score early, it's 2-1 and all of a sudden it's game on. But Hillock made a big-time play."
The Blue Devils have had tough luck in this game, losing in double overtime to Big Rapids in 2011, losing 5-4 to heavy underdog Cadillac in 2010 and 4-0 to an underdog Big Rapids team in 2009.
"For a lot of our guys, especially guys like CJ Wilkins, Ben Formolo and Ryan Dalsky, this was a big day," Ferroni said. "They've came up short for a couple of years and really wanted this one."
The Blue Devils went through their region shutting out all three opponents and outscoring them 20-0. Goalie Nick McKenzie stopped 13 shots in the first period and had 26 saves for his third consecutive shutout.
"It's a big confidence booster," McKenzie said. "We've been playing a lot better, not necessarily te best we've played all year, but we're working up to being whee we were back in December."
Ferroni said while McKenzie has been the unquestioned No. 1 starter all year, his game has improved throught the season and especially in the last month.
"He's been a little bit bigger in net," Ferroni said. "I told (goalie coach) Chris (Gordon) I don't know what you're going, but keep it up."
The Blue Devils were outshot 13-11 in the first period but got on the board when Kyle TenEyck skated through the defense slipped a pass through the slot to Hillock for a 1-0 lead. The Wldcats had a number of great chances to tie the game, on a Zach Nash breakaway, and then later when he hit the post on the power play.
"This group has been a bunch of warriors," Wildcats coach Pete Doubek said. "They played well, but the Sault goalie was absolutely phenomenal. If we could have got one of those shots to go early."
Gauthier's shot from the point on the power play was tipped in by Chase Gamelin at the 3:51 mark of the second period for a 2-0 lead. The Devils had to fight off a five-minute checking from behind major on Kolbe Peller that started with 41 seconds of 5-on-3 hockey.
"Alpena didn't quit at all," Ferroni said. "They're a tough group to play against. In fact, we had a hard practice — a hard practice the day before a game — because we knew otherwise the first period was going to be tough."
The Blue Devils beat Houghton 6-3 in the final of the MacInnes Holiday Classic in Houghton back in December in the team's lone meeting this year. The Gremlins, who advanced to the state finals last season, beat Calumet 8-3 and Hancock 5-2 to cruise through their region.
"If we play all three zones, you've got a good chance of shutting teams down," Ferroni said. "Our backcheck is there and Nick's playing great. We're confidence we can go to Marquette and be in the game, win or lose."

Parker: Documentary shows women's rights didn't just happen
WASHINGTON - Gloria Steinem is unmistakable.
Across the room surrounded by a clutch of admirers, she is utterly ageless - sleek and svelte in black form-fitting pants and top, a gold braided belt with sparkly fleurettes draped along her slender hips.
At 78, she looks, well, fabulous.
"I suppose it's not very feminist of us to comment on how great she looks," says the woman next to me, apparently feeling compelled to inject the appropriate corrective.
But at a certain age, isn't a woman happy to accept a compliment? And haven't we come a long way, baby?
Judging by the current debate in some Republican circles, one has occasion to pause and wonder.
The purpose of the Thursday evening gathering in a private home was to celebrate "Makers: The Women Who Make America," a multiplatform video production from PBS, AOL and Makers.com, which launched in February 2012.
The documentary chronicles the history of the women's movement and features women who have, indeed, made things happen so that subsequent generations could do what women were not allowed to do not so long ago - to become doctors, lawyers, legislators, secretaries of state and, perhaps, even president.
Among those assembled were seven of the Makers who appear in the film, including, in addition to Steinem, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, actress Marlo "That Girl" Thomas, Rebecca Adamson (founder of First Peoples Worldwide), Karen Nussbaum (executive director of Working America and founder of 9to5), Malika Saada Saar (executive director, Human Rights Project for Girls) and Muriel Siebert (the first woman to earn a seat on the New York Stock Exchange and namesake of the investment firm Siebert & Co.).
That's quite a lot of feminine - and feminist - power in one room. Quoting John F. Kennedy, Steinem said there hasn't been so much talent in one place since Thomas Jefferson was alone in a room. "Except now," she cracked, "we know Sally Hemings was probably doing the writing."
The centerpiece of the evening was a preview of excerpts from the documentary, which is scheduled for release in February 2013, the 50th anniversary of Betty Friedan's "The Feminine Mystique."
In one interview, Ginsburg recalls being one of nine women in a class of 500 men at Harvard Law School. Ginsburg remembered being herded into a room with the other women where a professor asked why they were taking up seats that could be filled with men. She later transferred to Columbia University, where she finished first in her class.
Other women tell similar, barrier-breaking tales. All remind us that women really have come a long way, often, one hastens to mention, with the help of enlightened men. Ginsburg paid homage to her husband, who gave up his own successful law practice to follow her to Washington so that she could accept her place on the Supreme Court. He never felt slighted, she said, noting he was also an excellent cook.
The film, which deserves to be a family event and is certain to spark animated conversations, provides recognition along with reminders that women's rights didn't just happen. They were earned by generations of women who refused to accept that they were limited by their sex. Being demure wasn't part of the strategy. Sometimes, one of the interviewees said, you have to kick down the door.
The value of the film can't be overstated. We have lived in a feminist world for decades, yet younger generations have no sense of the struggle. And though we are correctly horrified at the disenfranchisement of women in other parts of the world, it's useful to recall that American women's freedoms are relatively fresh.
Steinem, her fire somewhat tempered by time and grace, noted that loss of memory is the source of oppression. For centuries, women's stories weren't told. Women had no place at the campfire, as she put it.
Had there been a "Makers" initiative earlier in our history, said Steinem, we might have known Mozart had a sister, whom Mozart called "the talented one." We might have known before there was Martin Luther King, there was Ella Baker, the African-American civil and human rights activist from the 1930s. That the guide and translator for Lewis and Clark was a woman who made the same trip the men did while pregnant, nursing and carrying a toddler.
The story of women's struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist, Steinem insists, nor to any one organization but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights. Here's to memory.

Oklahoma girl breaks decades-old Girl Scout cookie sales record
OKLAHOMA CITY – An Oklahoma City girl who says she asks everyone she meets to buy Girl Scout cookies has broken the organization's decades-old sales record by a margin about the size of a Thin Mint.
Katie Francis of Oklahoma City sold 18,107 boxes in the seven-week sales period that ended Sunday night. The previous mark was set by Elizabeth Brinton, who sold approximately 18,000 one year in the 1980s.
The sixth-grade student told The Oklahoman newspaper last month that there were only three ingredients needed to rack up large sales: a lot of time, a lot of commitment and asking everyone she met to buy.
Katie sold 12,428 boxes last year.
Her troop receives a share of the proceeds from the fundraiser and intends to donate to breast cancer research.

Boy Meets World Sequel: Will Rider Strong Return?
Will Rider Strong follow his former Boy Meets World co-stars Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel back to Philly? The actor opened up about Girl Meets World and his involvement with the propsed sequel on his website.
Photo Gallery: Which other shows should reunite?
Fresh off the news that Savage and Fisher will reprise their roles as Cory and Topanga, Strong shot down hopes that Shawn Hunter would stand alongside his best friend once again. "At this point, I have no official involvement in Girl Meets World," Strong wrote.
But don't lose all hope, yet! "There might be a chance to see some of the BMW cast in a guest spot, and I think it would be nice to find out where our characters have been all these years," Strong added, explaining that he is willing to participate if he gets the call. "Boy Meets World was a defining aspect of my life, and I cherish those seven years. It was never just a job - on a personal level, many of my best memories and friendships were formed because of it."
Losties? Trekkies? Which TV show has the best fans? Vote now!
Though the series holds a special place in the actor's heart, he doesn't want to overwhelm the new series with nostalgia. "Girl Meets World will be, and I think it should be, its own show. It will be about Cory and Topanga, their daughter, and a new set of characters.
"It's the next generation," Strong added. "And I, for one, can't wait to see it evolve."
Are you sad Strong won't be back in a regular role? Or do you think Girl Meets World should get its own resident bad boy?
