There is situation when unfortunately and unknowingly you delete /hdp/apps/126.96.36.199-3485 either with skipTrash or without skipTrash then you will be in trouble and other services will be impacted. You will not be able to run hive,mapreduce or sqoop command, You will get following error.
Case 1: If you deleted it without skipTrash then it is very easy to recover:
[root@m1 ranger-hdfs-plugin]# hadoop fs -rmr /hdp/apps/184.108.40.206-3485
rmr: DEPRECATED: Please use 'rm -r' instead.
16/07/28 01:59:22 INFO fs.TrashPolicyDefault: Namenode trash configuration: Deletion interval = 360 minutes, Emptier interval = 0 minutes.
Moved: 'hdfs://HDPTSTHA/hdp/apps/220.127.116.11' to trash at: hdfs://HDPTSTHA/user/hdfs/.Trash/Current
In this case it would be very easy to recover it as after deleting it goes to your current dir and you can recover it from there.
hadoop fs -put hdfs://HDPTSTHA/user/hdfs/.Trash/Current//hdp/apps/22.214.171.124 /hdp/apps/
Case 2: If you deleted it with -skipTrash then you need to execute following steps:
[root@m1 ranger-hdfs-plugin]# hadoop fs -rmr -skipTrash /hdp/apps/188.8.131.52-3485
Deleted /hdp/apps/18.104.22.168-3485
So when I am trying to access to hive it is throwing below error.
[root@m1 admin]# hive
WARNING: Use "yarn jar" to launch YARN applications.
16/07/27 22:05:04 WARN conf.HiveConf: HiveConf of name hive.server2.enable.impersonation does not exist

Resolution: Don't worry friends you can resolve this issue by following give steps.
Note: You have to replace version of your hdp.
Step 1: First you will have to create following required dirs :
hdfs dfs -mkdir -p /hdp/apps/<220.127.116.11-$BUILD>/mapreduce
hdfs dfs -mkdir -p /hdp/apps/<18.104.22.168-$BUILD>/hive
hdfs dfs -mkdir -p /hdp/apps/<184.108.40.206-$BUILD>/tez
hdfs dfs -mkdir -p /hdp/apps/<18.104.22.168-$BUILD>/sqoop
hdfs dfs -mkdir -p /hdp/apps/<18.104.22.168-$BUILD>/pig
Step 2: Now you have to copy required jars in related dir.
hdfs dfs -put /usr/hdp/188.8.131.52-$BUILD/hadoop/mapreduce.tar.gz /hdp/apps/188.8.131.52-$BUILD/mapreduce/
hdfs dfs -put /usr/hdp/184.108.40.206-<$version>/hive/hive.tar.gz /hdp/apps/22.214.171.124-<$version>/hive/
hdfs dfs -put /usr/hdp/<hdp_version>/tez/lib/tez.tar.gz /hdp/apps/<hdp_version>/tez/
hdfs dfs -put /usr/hdp/<hdp-version>/sqoop/sqoop.tar.gz /hdp/apps/<hdp-version>/sqoop/
hdfs dfs -put /usr/hdp/<hdp-version>/pig/pig.tar.gz /hdp/apps/<hdp-version>/pig/
Step 3: Now you need to change dir owner and then change permission:
hdfs dfs -chown -R hdfs:hadoop /hdp
hdfs dfs -chmod -R 555 /hdp/apps/184.108.40.206-$BUILD
Now you will be able to start your hive CLI or other jobs.
[root@m1 ~]# hive

Canada's Largest DJ Site. Hire a Montreal, Toronto or Vancouver Wedding DJ In Minutes.
5 Reasons To Hire A Professional DJ For Your Wedding | DJing.ca
Your wedding day will be one of the most memorable events of your life. You've planned every detail, and now it's time to pick a DJ for your reception. There are many reasons to hire a professional Wedding DJ instead of relying on an amateur friend or family member who wants to help out.
How many times have you been to a wedding where the music is either too loud or not loud enough, the songs are repetitive and the dances go on for hours? When you hire a professional, you will have peace of mind knowing that this important event goes off without a hitch.
You want your guests to have fun but you don't want all the music to be too overpowering or offensive.
You want to keep things classy and fun at the same time. Your wedding DJ has been trained on how to read the room and keep the guests dancing all night long without getting too out of control.
A professional wedding DJ service will come equipped with state-of-the-art equipment that is safe and easy to use. Your job is to have a good time, not worry about technical difficulties, and have equipment that is reliable and makes your event look professional.
Here are five reasons why hiring a professional is worth the investment:
1) All music is professionally mixed so you can have all the best songs played at once
– Amateur DJs have to play songs manually and can't have more than one song playing at once. This causes a lot of pauses between songs and long transitions that can kill the mood. A professional Vancouver DJ mixes songs together to create a playlist
That flows perfectly from one song to the next with no pause in between. The entire night will sound smoother and more pleasant.
2) All music is classified into different genres to make it easy for you
– Amateur DJs usually just have a bunch of CDs in a big box and they pick out songs that they like. This can lead to a lot of weird song transitions when the playlist isn't organized in any logical order. A professional DJ has all music categorized into different genres so you're not hearing five love songs back-to-back-to-back-to-back.
3) All equipment is top-of-the-line and easy to use
– One of the most important things for a professional DJ is to have a user-friendly interface. Your guests shouldn't even know that they are using equipment; they should just see it as seamless entertainment. Most wedding DJs invest a lot of money into their equipment because they want everything to look good and sound good. This is an important event in your life, after all.
4) All of our DJs are celebrated artists in the company
– Our DJs are prepared for any situation that may arise during your wedding to make sure that you and your guests have a great time. We only hire DJs that have gone through extensive training in music and people skills and have years of experience. They've been there and done that so you don't have to worry about a thing!
5) When you book through us you are getting our platinum-level service
– When you choose to book with us, you are getting more than just the DJ for your wedding. We offer a concierge service that will help you in any way possible to make your wedding the best day of your life. We will work with you to make a personalized playlist and make sure everything is exactly how you want it on your special day. Whether you want a classy, fun, or crazy vibe, we got you covered.
A wedding is not only a joyous occasion but also an opportunity to go all out and make some lasting memories. This is one of the few days when people will allow themselves to feel extravagance and pampering. While there are some people who will say that a wedding simply isn't a wedding without a DJ/KJ, live music certainly isn't for everyone.
Our prices are very competitive with other services in the area and we are easy to work with.
We are available for:

Cineworld set to file for bankruptcy as company faces collapse
The company has 751 sites with 9,000 screens throughout 10 countries
Global cinema chain Cineworld is set to file for bankruptcy, according to new reports today.
The Cineworld Group is likely to file for bankruptcy within weeks, as an 'insider' has revealed the company is set to file a chapter 11 petition in the US.
Cineworld, the second largest cinema business in the world, is also considering filing an insolvency proceeding in the UK, as per the Wall Street Journal.
The company has a massive 751 sites with 9,000 screens throughout 10 countries, with bosses now assessing options to shore up finances.
The cinema chain failed to get enough film fans through the doors after lockdown, with the company's market value more than halving as it faces debt of more than £4 billion after the pandemic.
According to a statement: "Despite a gradual recovery of demand since reopening in April 2021, recent admission levels have been below expectations.
"These lower levels of admissions are due to a limited film slate that is anticipated to continue until November 2022 and are expected to negatively impact trading and the group's liquidity position in the near term."
The latest reports say that Cineworld is currently 'negotiating with its lenders to fund the costs of the bankruptcy process'.
While the company was threatened with bankruptcy back in 2020 during lockdown, it was saved by a lifeline from creditors.

Government scrap plans to house asylum seekers in Southport Pontins
Ministers are searching for large sites to replace the costly use of hotels to house asylum seekers.
The UK government has scrapped plans to house asylum seekers in the Pontins holiday resort in Southport.
Sefton Council had opposed converting the resort, in Ainsdale, into asylum accommodation. The authority is understood to have raised a number of objections, including the logistics of accessing the site and the impact it would have on its local tourism.
Southport MP Damien Moore described the proposal for Pontins as 'completely inappropriate' and added that an influx of vulnerable families would have added further pressure on local children's services — already rated 'inadequate' by regulator Ofsted.
Ministers are searching for large sites to replace the costly use of hotels to house asylum seekers awaiting decisions while their claims are assessed. The council was approached by the Home Office last year about potentially turning the site into a temporary base, which can accommodate more than 3,000 people, and is still currently used as a holiday resort.
The government was understood to be close to finalising plans with Britannia, the holiday park's owner, which would have seen the coastal attraction closed to the public.
A council spokesperson said: "We have now been informed that the Home Office no longer wish to pursue plans to house Asylum Seekers at the Pontins site in Ainsdale. We are awaiting written confirmation of this decision."
The talks are not understood to have involved Sefton Council or local MP Damien Moore who criticised the government for failing to communicate with him over a key issue affecting his community, saying: "MPs should be updated by Home Office officials on how discussions are going."
The government wants to end the reliance on hotels to house asylum seekers who are awaiting decisions on their claims, which the Home Office says is costing £6.8m a day.
Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick is trying to find larger alternative sites which he says will be cheaper – including former student halls of residence, holiday parks and surplus military sites. But none have yet been given the go-ahead.
A plan to turn a former RAF base in Linton-on-Ouse in North Yorkshire into an asylum centre was also scrapped last summer due to local opposition.
Serial rapist from Bolton set for release from prison
He is set to walk free next month
A serial rapist is set to be released from prison despite an appeal from the justice secretary.
Andrew Barlow, 66, who lived in both Bolton and Oldham, became Britain's most wanted man after a string of sex attacks on women and girls between 1981-1988. Barlow was jailed for life in 1988 with a minimum term of 20 years, for 11 rapes, three attempted rapes and a range of other offences.
But now he is set to walk free next month after a decision made by the Parole Board, after it rejected an application from Dominic Raab to cancel the scheduled release of the repeat offender. However, the decision may be challenged through an appeal to the High Court.
A spokesperson for the board said: "We can confirm that a panel of the Parole Board has directed the release of Andrew Barlow following an oral hearing. Parole Board decisions are solely focused on what risk a prisoner could represent to the public if released and whether that risk is manageable in the community."
Barlow targeted teenaged girls and young mothers mainly in the Manchester area, where he lived during the decade. He broke into victims' homes, used weapons to threaten them – and in one case to cause injury – before assaulting them often while their children were in the same house.
The sex offender was dubbed the 'Coronation Street Rapist' after attacking several women in terraced houses reminiscent of the ITV soap's setting. Barlow, also known as Andrew Longmire, was convicted and jailed in October 1988 when he was aged 32.
After serving more than 34 years in jail, the Parole Board determined on December 12th 2022 that he could be released. Mr Raab applied to the board for reconsideration on January 17th, arguing that the panel had 'failed to take proper account of the evidence regarding risk and in particular the expert psychology evidence'.
The Parole Board heard how Barlow's behaviour had been 'good for many years' while in prison and he had worked on educational and vocational qualifications – he had also taken part in 'accredited programmes' to address sex offending.
It concluded that a plan that put strict limitations on his contacts, movements and activities would be 'robust' enough to manage Barlow in the community. The board rejected Mr Raab's application, saying that 'there has been no misdirection of law' and that it had considered 'all the evidence'.
The board said: "The whole panel would be aware of the correct test and the panel was chaired by a very experienced retired Judge who also has considerable experience of parole hearings and applying the statutory test."
Barlow's attacks included the rape of a 26-year-old woman in her Sheffield home, while her three-year-old daughter hid terrified behind a settee. He threatened the woman with a screwdriver before carrying out the attack.
In 2021, following the rearrest of double murderer Colin Pitchfork, the Justice Secretary said he wanted to see a more cautious approach to future parole decisions. Pitchfork, who raped and killed two teenage girls in the 1980s, was recalled to prison in November 2021 – two months after being released.
Heartbroken wife of great-grandad who 'vanished' on canal walk makes plea
'I need you, I just want you home.'
The wife of a great-grandad who went missing after going out for a walk over a month ago has issued a desperate plea to bring him home.
Peter Baglin, 55, left his home in Boothstown on December 28th after telling his wife of 30 years Michelle that he was just going out for a walk and would be 'home soon'. That would be the last day Mr Baglin was last seen on CCTV at a garage in Mosley Common near Worsley, Greater Manchester.
In the days that followed, after police deployed huge search teams to the local area, trawling through woodland, using drones, and dive teams in the canal, not a trace of Mr Baglin has been found, Greater Manchester Police say.
His phone, hat and headphones along with tobacco, his bank cards and house keys, were found the following day along a towpath by the Bridgewater Canal, on Vicars Hall Lane. Mrs Baglin has again spoken of her heartache over Peter's sudden disappearance and in a desperate plea for her husband to come home, she said: "I need you, I just want you home."
Mrs Baglin has described her husband's disappearance as a 'living nightmare' and that it's like he's just 'vanished', saying: ""He's vanished. Literally you'd never think of it in this day on Earth where we've got such technical things, that a person could disappear."
She said he had gone out for a walk and was later seen buying whisky in the garage's CCTV footage, and that a short time later they chatted on the phone. She said that he had promised to be home shortly and told her: "I love you, you're my world."
However, Mrs Baglin later became worried after further phone calls to him went unanswered. She then decided to go out looking for him before reporting him missing. Mrs Baglin said she fears Peter, a grandfather of four and great-grandfather of one, may have been listening to music along the canal embankment and fallen.
Mr Baglin often went out for a walk and this was not unusual for him to do as his wife said: "He does go for walks quite regularly.
"He'll put his headphones on and he can walk for a good few hours. It wasn't unusual for him to do that. What was unusual is that he didn't come home. I'm praying that he's somewhere safe."
Police said Mr Baglin also has ties to the Devonshire area and joined his wife in appealing for anyone with information to contact them.

The amazing Janice helped me via email to set up an appointment and complete paperwork. I then had the pleasure of being checked in by Jeremy at the appointment yesterday. And of course the Doctor was just thee best! I had brief interactions with several other staff members and everyone was so nice and helpful. Even the other patients and pet owners I met were great! This was my first visit to Woodminster after trying for a couple of months to find a new vet since it was time to find better care for my 15 year old cat. The pricing is the same as every other vet in the area. The treatment planning is the same too - The Dr. does the exam and discusses with you. You're then presented with an itemized treatment plan. My kittie is sleeping soundly right now after only being on medication for 14 hours. I am so happy I found this vet!

The office staff and the doctor were very helpful and great to talk to. They all do their best to make your furry companion feel safe and cared for. The only thing that I can complain about is sometimes the wait times can be a little long but not anything crazy.

My experience was good. The main thing was maybe being explained why we aren't able to be with our pets. During examination it felt kind of strange just having someone take the cat Mark cats in the back.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — The American Civil Liberties Union of Virginia has filed a legal challenge to a last-minute amendment to the state budget that blocked the planned early release of hundreds of inmates this summer.
The change affected the state's earned sentence credit program, which was expanded in 2020 to allow inmates to shave more time off their sentences for good behavior. The budget amendment reined in who can qualify for the expanded credits.
The ACLU claims in a lawsuit filed Monday on behalf of inmate Antoine Anderson that state prison officials wrongly interpreted the amendment. The petition demands that Anderson be released immediately.
Anderson, now 45, has spent the past 18 years in prison on federal drug charges, as well as charges of attempted escape, abduction and two counts of assault on a corrections officer during what he described as a riot at the Albemarle-Charlottesville jail, where he was being held in 2004, said Geri Greenspan, a staff attorney for the ACLU.
In March, Anderson was told by prison officials that he had earned enough good behavior time under the 2020 expanded credits law to be released in July. But less than two weeks before he was expecting to get out, he was told that the recent budget amendment proposed by Gov. Glenn Youngkin and approved by the General Assembly made him ineligible for the early release date. Now, Anderson is expected to remain in prison until April 2024.
The budget amendment excluded Anderson and more than 500 other inmates with violent offenses from receiving the expanded credits, meaning they would have to serve more time and would not be released in July and August, as they expected.
In its petition, the ACLU said Anderson fell into a depression after learning he would have to serve an additional 22 months in prison.
"When we were told we were not going home, it broke down our mental state. It made us feel like we were never going to leave. We served our time, and we deserve to have a second chance. We are not the same people we were when we entered prison," Anderson said in a statement released by the ACLU.
Anderson's 18-year-old daughter, Niya, was born after her father went to prison and has never known him outside prison walls. She said she and her father were crushed because he planned to bring her to Delaware State University soon for her to start college.
"Why would you grant freedom to somebody and then take it away — like it's not a life we're talking about?" she said. "This is somebody's freedom."
During the legislative debate, Republicans, who were joined by a few Senate Democrats in approving the amendment, argued that offenders who were convicted of violent crimes shouldn't get a shot at reducing their time behind bars.
The 2020 law, passed when Democrats were in full control of state government, created a system that allowed inmates with good behavior and participation in rehabilitation programs to earn expanded credits for up to 15 days per month to be taken off their sentences for nonviolent offenses. Before the law was approved, inmates could earn up to 4.5 days per month.
The law had a delayed effective date of July 1, 2022, so prison officials would have time to calculate new release dates.
Under the 2020 law, violent offenses were not eligible for the expanded credit. But if inmates had a combined sentence with both a violent conviction and a lower-tier one, they could potentially shave some time off the sentence they were given for the nonviolent offense.
Multiple attempts to repeal the law failed, but the last-minute budget amendment from Youngkin was approved by the General Assembly in June.
In its legal challenge, the ACLU said state prison officials have misinterpreted the budget amendment to apply retroactively, thereby negating the credits Anderson and others like him had earned before July 1, 2022, when the budget went into effect.
"Under just principles of statutory interpretation, the only way to interpret the meaning of the statute is to say the budget amendment applies only to time served between July 1, 2022, and June 30, 2024," said Greenspan, referring to the two-year period covered by the budget.
The ACLU said Anderson has taken steps to rehabilitate himself, including completing drug treatment programs, anger management classes, parenting classes and commercial driver training.
A spokesman for the Department of Corrections declined to comment on the lawsuit. Youngkin's office referred a request for comment to the office of Attorney General Jason Miyares. His spokesperson declined comment, saying the office had not received the lawsuit.

Eduard Shevardnadze's welcome return as foreign minister should provide ample reason for both encouragement and apprehension in the Soviet Union and the West.
Eleven months ago, Shevardnadze abruptly resigned the post that had made him the second-most recognizable Soviet leader with a prophetic speech warning of impending dictatorship. He quit the Communist Party and joined other reformers in launching a new democratic political movement.
When party hard-liners staged their abortive coup in August, Shevardnadze opposed them and supported Russian President Boris Yeltsin in his courageous defiance of the takeover attempt.
On Tuesday, he accepted the invitation of his former partner, Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, to resume control of a vastly diminished Foreign Ministry at this time of great peril and instability in his country's history.
The man he replaces, Boris Pankin, becomes ambassador to Great Britain. One of the few Soviet diplomats to oppose the coup, Pankin performed ably in his brief three-month stint as foreign minister, but these troubled times call for a much more heroic Soviet spokesman on the world stage.
It is a tribute to Shevardnadze's integrity and stature that his appointment signals the United States and Western Europe the new leadership is committed to political and economic reform and eager to push ahead with radical changes. The urgent nature of his return, however, is a measure of the desperation of the distintegrating empire.
"I am not exaggerating when I say that we have to save not only the country but the world, because an unstable Soviet Union represents a horrible threat to the safety of the planet," Shevardnadze told the Soviet press. The world should heed that somber warning and promptly provide targeted and adequate assistance to steer the country of 280 million through this difficult transition.
Western governments and business interests who may have been reluctant to pour more aid into the black hole of the Kremlin now can be confident that in Shevardnadze they have a man who not only speaks their language but also shares their vision of the future.

"The power to tax involves the power to destroy." Chief Justice John Marshall, McCulloch v. Maryland, 17 U.S. 316, 431 (1819).
Business decisions are becoming increasingly more complex in part due to the implications of a global tax system. Taxpayers can limit the power of destruction with tax insurance. Tax insurance provides protection to private equity, strategics, individuals, and virtually any other taxpayer should a transaction fail to qualify for its intended tax treatment. As many may be aware, tax insurance can cover additional taxes, interest, penalties, contest costs, and gross-ups that arise when a taxpayer's intended tax treatment fails to be respected by a tax authority. However, many individuals considering the product might not be aware of all its benefits. Below are four generally unknown features of tax insurance.
1. Valuation
Those familiar with the tax insurance product know that tax insurance routinely covers tax-free reorganizations, S corporation qualifications, debt vs. equity treatment, net operating loss (NOL) limitations, real estate investment trust (REIT) status, and tax credit transactions. It is less widely known that tax insurance can be used for taxable reorganizations, where the insurance market, as opposed to the taxpayer, bears the risk that the taxable gain calculation is reviewed and increased.
Taxable reorganization insurance policies provide coverage to the taxpayer that the amount of taxable gain reported from a transaction will be respected by the taxing authority. In order to provide this coverage, the insurance market generally requires advice from legal and valuation/accounting advisors. Coverage will be easier to obtain if the taxpayer's auditor does not require the taxpayer to include a financial reserve for the tax liability associated with the gain and the taxpayer is willing to sign the tax return (indicating the gain) without any related disclosure.
This is an exciting new area for taxpayers as the tax insurance market is now able to bring additional certainty to taxpayers involved in taxable reorganizations, protecting the value of their transaction. Several taxable reorganizations have already been insured, and these types of transactions appear to be a mainstay in the tax insurance market.
2. Coverage for RWI Tax Exclusions on Deal Time
Consider this: A major deal is pending and well underway—the buyer's due diligence has identified a material tax risk associated with a prior restructuring of the target's business. The seller is winding down its fund and is unwilling to retain any liabilities or provide an escrow. The buyer's valuation proposition would be destroyed if, post-close, the target's restructuring fails to qualify for its intended tax treatment. The representations and warranties insurance (RWI) policy, procured in connection with the transaction to protect the buyer against unknown breaches of the representations of the target and seller, has excluded the known tax position from coverage, placing the entire deal at risk of falling apart.
Known, material issues are routinely carved out of the coverage provided by RWI policies. These known, material issues are often identified tax matters associated with the M&A transaction or historical positions taken by the target company. These large tax risks carved out of RWI policies can destroy the deal, require the buyer to bear to risk of the position post-close, or necessitate the seller tie up sale proceeds in an escrow. None of these options are particularly attractive from a transaction party perspective.
Alternatively, the parties could negotiate the procurement of a tax insurance policy to cover the known, supportable tax position. At its core, tax insurance was designed for these scenarios (i.e., the transfer of a known, material tax risk from the buyer or the seller to the insurance market).
The tax insurance market, when called upon, moves at the same fast pace as M&A transactions (even late stage deal time) enabling the parties to sign the deal on their anticipated timeline. While the typical, expedited timeframe to underwrite and bind coverage is approximately one week, we have (with the devoted assistance of the insurance broker, buyer, seller, and their respective counsel) completed the entire process in less than 48 hours in order to save the parties' deal.
3. Coverage for Tax Positions Under Review/Audit
Today's tax structures—and the associated business, financial, and legal implications—are complex, and the associated uncertainly can handcuff decision makers. This uncertainty becomes even more prevalent when the tax position is being questioned, audited, or reviewed by the applicable taxing authority. Tax payers can utilize the benefits of tax insurance in these instances too.
For example, a taxpayer was recently able to insure a past reorganization being questioned by the taxing authority as part of an ongoing audit. In another matter, a taxpayer participating in the Internal Revenue Service's Compliance Assurance Process (CAP) program was able to procure insurance covering a complex transaction questioned as part of the CAP program process.
In situations like these, the true benefit of tax insurance can be immediately realized. Taxpayers can reduce or eliminate the pending uncertainty surrounding an under review, supportable tax position via the utilization of tax insurance, freeing up capital to continue growing the business.
4. Some History: Tax Insurance was Nearly a Reportable Transaction
Concerned with the abusive tax transactions, in 2002, the IRS included "tax insurance" in the definition of "transactions with contractual protections" associated with reportable transactions under tax code Section 6011. Temporary Regulation 1.6001-4T (Oct. 22, 2002). The inclusion of tax insurance in this definition would have required taxpayers utilizing tax insurance to report transactions to the IRS solely as a result of the insurance. This mandatory disclosure had the potential to significantly hinder, and perhaps destroy, the tax insurance market.
In response to the temporary regulations, commentators indicated that it was inappropriate to require the reporting of a transaction for which a taxpayer obtains tax insurance. It was noted that tax insurance provides much needed certainty to taxpayers that tend to be conservative and risk adverse. Additionally, tax insurance is underwritten by, and with the support of, tax attorneys, who carefully review the risk with the goal of selecting the most supportable positions. REG-103735-00 BERRY.
It was pointed out that insurers are tasked with selecting positions that will be supported by the taxing authority, which should appease the concerns of the Service that insurance would support tax shelters and abusive tax schemes. Id.
The IRS listened and, in 2003, amended the regulations to exclude "tax insurance" from the transactions covered by the regulations. T.D. 9046. In doing so, the IRS changed its focus of the contractual protection factor to whether fees are refundable or contingent, but indicated that it would monitor the use of tax insurance and potentially amend the regulations in the future if it was determined that tax insurance was supporting abusive tax transactions. Id.
Now 16 years later, the position of the commentators has proven true and the IRS holds its position—tax insurance was designed to, and remains a vital tool to help taxpayers obtain certainty regarding their supportable tax positions in the complex and ever-changing tax arena.
The tax insurance market is constantly evolving to support the needs of the taxpayer. Tax insurance has become an economic and efficient tool for taxpayers to deal with high severity, low probability tax risks providing insureds with certainty and freeing up capital to be deployed in more useful means.

The Santa Barbara Planning Commission left its meeting with a patchwork of ideas after hearing an analysis of the city's proposed replacement to the Average Unit Density program.
The AUD program, which encouraged developers to build apartments near work centers and incentivized affordable units, expires in February.
The city hopes to replace it with a floor-to-lot area ratio (FAR) program, with acceptable ratios set by a map.
Project Planner Jessica Metzger said the plan is not complete, and the city has yet to fully consider environmental impacts and recent legislation from the state.
The AUD program will likely be extended while a full plan is drafted and voted on, she said.
Properties in the central business district can build up to a 3.0 ratio, which is a four-story building with minimal open space.
The plan offers incentives to those who offer more than the required number of low-income units. The incentive is up to a 20% boost in the FAR, which would boost the central most buildings to up to a 3.6 ratio.
Four of the seven commissioners and many public commenters said that seemed too high.
"I appreciate the work effort, but we're talking about dramatically increasing FAR while compromising on important design standards and then pushing building heights to 60 feet in order to gain an additional five maybe 10% of affordability. And we give up a lot," Commissioner Barrett Reed said.
"So 3.6 — if you put more affordable units in it is, to me, alarming," Commissioner Lesley Wiscomb said. "It can really change the streetscape in our downtown area."
But Vice Chair Gabriel Escobedo thought the FARs should be higher.
"I think that we need to provide opportunities for these (small) spaces to actually produce housing. And try not to do with the bare minimum," he said. "We are in this position because we didn't build housing for decades."
He expressed frustration with the lack of housing for the workforce.
"To be honest, to me, it sounds like we're OK with lower-income people driving into town from miles and miles away," he said. "That's an environmental impact. That's not being taken into consideration."
Commissioners discussed the success of the AUD program in regard to workforce housing, as some questioned the affordability of new developments.
Commissioner Jay Higgins argued that while some new complexes may be for middle income and up, it makes the pre-existing complexes more affordable.
Commissioner Sheila Lodge disagreed. She reasoned that if new people move to town and fill the new units, more service workers are needed and demand increases for low-income housing.
The commission also discussed whether it liked the FAR format.
Mr. Reed was disillusioned at the plan in comparison to new ideas like private-public partnerships and adaptive reuse.
Ms. Wiscomb was in favor of FAR but wanted the map to include more protection for historic resources. She also wanted to hear the full plan before expressing support.
Commissioner Lodge expressed concern FAR would incentivize boring structures unfitting with Santa Barbara's architectural fabric.
"We have such an incredible architectural heritage. And it's such a part of what Santa Barbara is to us, and to the rest of the world. And going to FAR … we'll lose all of the charm that we have in Santa Barbara," she said.
Chair Deborah Schwartz said tools have not been used to assess the AUD program throughout the decade.
A consultant presented analysis that the FAR plan was viable but suggested the Planning Commission find a way to incentivize development on small lots or streamline the process.
Commissioners questioned his methodology and critiqued the average rent price presented by the firm.
The report said the average two-bedroom apartment rents for $3,262 in Santa Barbara. Commissioners said it was not indicative of the Central Business District and wanted better findings.
Another Planning Commission hearing is scheduled for Nov. 4, and the city will have more details on environmental impacts and its next step.

Aussie Kids Bid for World Robotics Title in Texas
A group of students from Sydney's Barker College are representing Australia at the world school robotics championships in Houston, Texas.
There are no science geeks at Sydney's Barker College. Instead, the kids involved in the school's robotics program are international hall of famers.
Rock stardom might be getting a little carried away.
Yet the opportunity to represent Barker on the world stage in competitions sponsored by the likes of Lucas Films, NASA, and Disney is worth every sacrifice, says Year 12 student Suzanne Brian who traded half her Christmas break to take part in this year's schedule.
"I really don't mind giving up my summer holidays … for something I'm really interested in," she says.
"It [also means] spending time with my friends and it's something I really enjoy."
Suzanne and classmate Jack Wilson are this year's recipients of the Paul A Allaire Medallion for outstanding leadership and personal character.
It's not recognition bestowed upon them by the college, though. The pair are the latest bright young faces of FIRST, a worldwide robotics competition featuring almost 4000 teams from 34 countries.
On Wednesday they, as team captains, and 26 other Barker pupils flew out of Sydney for this year's world championships in Houston, Texas.
And they're not there just to make up the numbers.
Barker's robotics program is ranked top 10 globally and its 2021 team was one of only two inducted into the FIRST Hall of Fame after taking out the prestigious Chairman's Award.
The school's journey to such heights began in 2013 when a handful of inquisitive kids discovered the events program hosted by FIRST and petitioned to be involved.
Two years later they formed The Barker Redbacks to compete at the Australian nationals and have been back every year since.
Asia-Pacific titles followed along with several earlier Chairman's Award wins in Houston.
To get there this year, the Redbacks placed sixth overall in international qualifying but coupled with their technical excellence and outreach to other teams in sharing knowledge and skills, they again took home the Chairman's gong as well as their Hall of Fame status.
"Deep in the philosophy of robotics is to share ideas and encourage the development of robotics in other schools and communities, especially those who are disadvantaged," says college head Phillip Heath.
"Robotics programs now exist in other countries because of the support of the Barker Redbacks."
They include four fledgling teams in Brazil and another in South Africa as well as several which required support in China, Qatar, Argentina and India.
Programs have also been set up at the Indigenous community school, Darkinjung Barker, at Yarramalong on the NSW Central Coast.
"The creativity, determination and ingenuity these young people demonstrate every year is not only commendable, they actually build up other people," Heath says.
The program's alumni also have a habit of returning to mentor the current crop while pursuing related careers at university.
Suzanne is convinced robotics is destined to be a big part of her personal future.
"It encompasses … not just engineering but medicine, art and all of those different areas," she says.
"It's replacing some jobs but others are coming through."
She and Jack are both keen to study undergraduate mechatronics.
Participating FIRST teams design, engineer, build and program a fully customised robot able to take part in the year's unique challenges during rounds of arena games, stages, and trials.
Barker offers robotics classes from year two to year 12.
"The kids start learning about leadership and teamwork in the early years," says program coach and mechanical engineer Jeser Mross Becker.
"They then learn about instructions in the middle school and more specific and complex tasks in the senior school."
About 60 pupils come together each January to create and assemble the school's latest-version robot from scratch, he says.
Their design needs to incorporate strategies to meet the challenge set by FIRST, which is always a sport and often resembles a traditional basketball or football game.
The team works during holidays and exclusively out of school hours, with dedicated coaches and mentors supporting them.
As part of the recognition for their success, Barker's class of 2021 will next month be presented by Governor-General David Hurley with the FRC Hall of Fame Clock.
They are the second Australian team to win one in the award's 30-year history.

IN PHOTOS: Thousands troop to Comelec offices on last day of voters' registration
MANILA, Philippines – Thousands of people trooped to offices of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) all over the country on Saturday, September 29, the last day of voters' registration.
Local Comelec offices nationwide opened at 8 am and will close by 5 pm. The Comelec had said that there would be no extension for voters' registration.
Some offices had long queues before they opened on Saturday morning, and even after 5 pm. (READ: LIST: Satellite voters' registration sites in Metro Manila open on September 29)
In media interviews, Comelec Spokesperson James Jimenez appealed to last-day registrants to be patient, especially as Comelec offices could only accommodate a limited number of people on the final day.
Meanwhile, the Comelec set the special registration of voters in Marawi City, Lanao del Sur, from October 1 to 15.
Here are some photos of the last day of registration.

Allow me to introduce myself….my name is Carolynn Sokil and I am YOUR artist!
While I create art which pleases me, my specialty is creating art which suits you!
My artistic journey started as soon as I could hold a pencil. My initial love was charcoal or pen and ink. Colour came later. However, this is now where my passion lies – bringing a burst of colour into a room, complimenting someone's colour pallet, capturing a loved one on canvas, or just bringing a LoudSmiles wherever I can.
Below are a few of my pieces (commissioned, sold or available). See something you'd like, or have an idea what you are looking for, please drop me a note. I'm open to discussing how I can be of service to you…as your artist!
"Lover's Light" – SOLD
24×30″ – acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas
Painted with black, white, silver and pearl, this piece adjusts to the viewer depending on the light! The "Lover's Light" glows showcasing not only the human form's ability to be soft but also sculpted.
"Baxter" SOLD
48″ round – acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas
From the depths of the ocean, the humpback whale ascends to the surface, only to majestically re-submerge. This piece was created with the intent to portray the humpback's magnificent presence underwater – as if you were a diver witnessing this up close and personal. Depending on the light, the piece shifts. With low suffused evening light, the piece glows slightly as if you were witnessing the whale in all it's underwater presence.
Painted with acrylic on a gallery wrapped canvas, stretched on a 4.5cm x 1.2m custom made cedar frame. Photo taken at an angle.
"OMBRE" – commissioned for the specific effect and colour match
1m x 2m – custom frame, gallery wrapped canvas
"Carolynn was AMAZING to work with. In fact, I enjoyed working with her as much as I am enjoying my artwork! Not only did she listen, understand, and execute on every single little detail I mentioned and asked for, but she brought insightful perspective and quality suggestions to improve the project – even saving me from putting a white section on a white wall by suggesting a border. It was a life-saver to the piece. She was never impatient with my indecisiveness, but attentive, helpful, and patient the whole time. Oh, and then there is the artwork – simply stunning. We've gotten SO many compliments on it already. I am a lifelong customer now."
"Splash" – available US$450
Ornate silver frame, with textured acrylic on canvas (US$250 without frame)
This piece is a textured acrylic abstract with a burst of blues, bright green, white and silver. The effect of the white border is enhanced with the "out of the box" effect.
36″ round – acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas
This piece was a mix of fluid and realism. The buyer said it was an amazing addition to their collection of art! SOLD
"Metallicis Mundus Creatus Est" – commissioned
40″ x 80″ – acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas
"From start to finish, this experience working with Carolynn on a commissioned work for our latest home was a joy. Carolynn's talent and creativity, combined with professionalism and business acumen could not have been any better. The piece brings together all of the mixed metals and woods of the home in a brilliant burst of color, form and abstract design. Fabulous, far exceeded original expectations and has become a focal point and conversation piece at all dinner parties."
36″ x 18″ – acrylic on canvas
I occasionally come across a photo which calls to me. This photo was taken of our rescued jungle-dog coming out of the Tortuga River. Even though blurry, I managed to use other photos to ensure I captured her essence – including the blue glint in her left eye! Upon completion, my teenage son asked for the piece. How could I refuse!
"Pura Vida Quartet" – available $400 (set of 4)
4 pieces, each 10″ x 10″ & 1.25″ deep – acrylic on canvas
Most of us have heard about the "three wise monkeys" (a Japanese pictorial maxim, embodying the proverbial principle "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil".)
This is my Costa Rican interpretation: See No; Hear No; Speak No; Pura Vida!
"Serenity's Dance" – available $250 (5 pieces in total)
4 pieces 7″ x 14″ & 1 piece 7″ round – acrylic on canvas
can be hung together or separately
"Barroom Brawl"
20″x24″ – acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas
This piece was created for my show – SOLD during the process of painting it
48″ x 24″ – acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas
Created for an art show – SOLD in 3 days
12′ x 10′ mural – COMPLETED
SNEAK PEEK – a 36″ 'x 24″ portion (shown below)
for a video showing snapshots and the final piece – click here
"Magical" & "Spectacular" were the feedback received on this one! Created using exterior latex wall paint and sealed with UV resistant varnish – even 3 years later, this piece is still a joy to the owners/visitors!
Ocean Meets Sand – 48″ x 24″
Available – $450
House Name
Not my usual medium – but could not resist painting a house sign in such a wonderful spot. Owners' Feedback: "Thank for the beautiful welcome sign on our Ojochal house. We wanted a visually appealing welcome sign for our arriving guests and that is exactly what you gave us. It's perfect! Dorian And Tammy"
Raptor – each piece is 6″ x 12″ SOLD
Close Ups! each piece is 3″x 9″
All sold
Jamaican Sunset – 36″ x 24″
The original photo was captured at Sunset in Jamaica. The couple met at the resort where the husband worked and later went back to get married. Every year they travel back with friends to celebrate their love of Jamaica and to visit his relatives. When they opened their gift, they both exclaimed they recognized the sunset and the spot where the sailboats were pulled ashore. The husband said he even recognized the tree. Once hung in their 2 storey foyer, a friend visiting immediately recognized the view from her room when she stays at the resort. Captured moment!
I am WPSPLH&H – printed on various mediums
A mantra gleaned from The Master Key by Charles Haanel – I am Whole, Perfect, Strong, Powerful, Loving, Harmonious & Happy. What better way to represent this but in lotus pose.
This came to me during a meditation sit – I could see what needed to be created. People in Canada & the US are now wearing this on their T-Shirts!
My Red Revealed – 48″ x 36″ acrylic on canvas. Originally imagined as a larger 4 canvas piece to provide that pop of red in a room with mostly black, white and chrome. The customer chose not to purchase the piece but I created it – as it called to be done! Sold to another client.
Boteccelli Angel – 16″ x 20″
This 4-year-old little girl was seldom quiet or still. The photo used to paint from captured her Botticelli like face and her attentive look. Her mother was in tears when in receipt of the piece. She exclaimed it captured her likeness!
Nothing But Tongue – 16″ x 20″
This guy was just so much fun to create. Supposedly a giraffe's tongue averages between 18-20″ in length. The recipient has a significant love for giraffes. He was tickled to receive the gift to add to his rather large giraffe collection.
The Ball Went Where? – 8″ x 12″
To commemorate a friend's daughter's birthday, this whimsical piece was created. I loved creating the folds and movement of clothing using paint. This was so much fun to do!
Pondering – 16″ x 20″
The photo given to work from was in colour and both the hat and left portion of her hair were not included. The sepia style choice of colour technique allow her features and the textures in her hair and cap to shine through.
Jack's White Christmas – 20″ x 24″
A wife commissioned this for her husband's Christmas present. They had lost their beloved Jack in July. She provided the original photo as well as a variety of others which showed the details of his eyes. They hung the piece above the fireplace. Later she explained Jack's eyes follow her whenever she is in the room.
The Dragon Room – 10′ x 9′ room
Created this full room mural with love for our son's 7th Christmas present. A young boy who was enthralled with everything "How To Train A Dragon". A new bunk bed with the wood wall theme below for hideouts with his friends. A 10′ Toothless dragon's face positioned where he lay his head (at his request) with the body wrapped around the wall and onto the ceiling. The hero of the movie, Hiccup, stood 5′ tall beside his bed with our son's facial features in place of the original. Regular acrylic wall paint was used to create the effect for easy removal.
Value is dependent upon size, style, and detail of artwork requested.
Looking for something in particular, drop me a line. If I'm not the person to help you I am part of a network of amazing artists. Through this network, you may just find that piece you've been looking for.

text: 000 WTPZ44 KNHC 180908 CCA TCDEP4 Tropical Storm Madeline Discussion Number 3...Corrected NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP142022 300 AM MDT Sun Sep 18 2022 Corrected numbering of key messages Early this morning, Madeline still appears to be feeling the effects of more than 20 kt of easterly shear, with the deepest convective cloud tops located some 75 to 100 n mi southwest of the center. The center structure itself is rather broad, and several mesovortices can be seen rotating around the mean center location. The latest round of subjective Dvorak intensity estimates were T2.5/35-kt from SAB and T3.0/45-kt from TAFB. Thus, the initial intensity is being held at 40 kt for this advisory. The estimated motion of Madeline has actually been a little bit right of the previous track, currently estimated a bit east of due north at 005/7 kt. The track reasoning in the short-term is a bit complicated. Madeline is currently embedded in large-scale monsoonal southwesterly flow which appears to be partially responsible for its short-term rightward deviation from the prior forecast track. Tropical cyclones (TCs) in this region, including recent TCs Kay and Lester, have been known to move a bit east of model guidance. Thus, the initial track forecast has been nudged a bit further east for the first 12-24 h while the larger-scale low-level flow has a stronger foothold on Madeline's motion. After that period, a building mid-level ridge centered over Texas is expected to cause Madeline to take a rather sharp turn to the northwest, resulting in Madeline passing south of the Baja California Peninsula. The track guidance this cycle is notably further north and east early on, but then shifts back towards the previous track by the end of the forecast period. Thus, the NHC track forecast was nudged in that direction, but is not quite as far to the north and east as the latest HCCA consensus aid. As noted in the previous advisory, across-track spread at the end of the forecast is rather large, so this track forecast is of lower confidence. Intensity-wise, Madeline has only a brief window where the vertical wind shear is expected to drop below 20 kts, mainly between 12-30 h. In addition, Madeline is currently a broad tropical cyclone, with a fairly large radius of maximum wind. Thus, only some modest additional strengthening is forecast, in line with the upper-end of the intensity guidance. After 36 h, easterly shear is expected to increase substantially, and both the GFS and ECMWF simulated IR brightness show Madeline's convection quickly shearing away as the storm also crosses the 26 C sea-surface temperature isotherm by 48 h. With the further northward track over cooler waters, the latest intensity guidance has trended downward, and the NHC intensity forecast follows suit, weakening Madeline to a depression in 60 h and making it a remnant low by 72 h. Based on the latest guidance though, this could occur sooner than forecast. Madeline is producing a large area of rough surf and high waves, especially on its south and eastern flank. Given the current large 34-kt radii on the south side of Madeline and the eastward shift in the forecast track this cycle, the government of Mexico has issued a Tropical Storm Watch from Manzanillo northward to Cabo Corrientes. Any further deviation to the right of Madeline's track could require these watches to be upgraded to a warning later today. KEY MESSAGES: 1. Heavy rains from Madeline are expected for portions of coastal southwestern Mexico into Monday. This rainfall may produce flash and urban flooding, along with possible mudslides in areas of higher coastal terrain. 2. Tropical storm conditions are possible for the southwestern coast of Mexico from Manzanillo to Cabo Corrientes over the next 24 to 36 hours.

Floyd Mayweather Defeats Oscar De La Hoya With Decision Win – May 5, 2007 (This Day In Boxing History)
The fight that made Floyd Mayweather a superstar happened 15 years ago today.
Mayweather solidified his defensive skills, effective – and sometimes frustrating – hit-and-run tactics and newfound villainous persona against Oscar De La Hoya. And while Mayweather was booed for some of his gimmicks, other people were buying it.
Even the build-up to the fight was something that was never done before. HBO ran a De La Hoya-Mayweather fight that showed the behind the scenes of both fighters' training camps. It aired on Sunday nights.
During the fight, Mayweather made it difficult for De La Hoya to land an accurate punch on him. De La Hoya tallied 587 punches to Mayweather's 481, but Mayweather landed 43% of his punches to De La Hoya's 21%.
Mayweather walked away with a split-decision victory, adding to his still perfect 50-0 record.
De La Hoya still left that night with $52 million to Mayweather's $25, which was the biggest payday at the time.
Both have been called one of the greatest fighters in boxing history, and now both head their respective boxing promotions.

Yesterday Malaysia's police chief, Khalid Abu Bakar, warned that we may never know the true details of what happened to Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370. "At the end of the investigations, we may not even know the real cause," he told reporters in Kuala Lumpur. "We may not even know the reason for this incident."
The Boeing 777 plane and its 227 passengers and 12 crew members have been missing since March 8 -- 26 days ago. The flight, which was Beijing bound, never landed at its intended destination. The plane made an abrupt change in direction, and according to the Guardian, investigators believe that the plane was deliberately rerouted. What investigators don't know is the reasoning behind the directional change, whether there was an on-board emergency or malicious intent.
Khalid Abu Bakar also told reporters that the police had interviewed more than 170 people -- relatives of the pilots and crew -- to determine what may have happened. Thus far, according to the Guardian, nothing has piqued investigators' suspicion.
In the meantime, the search team continues to comb the Indian Ocean 1,100 miles northwest of Perth, Australia. According to Australia's Joint Agency Coordination Center, 10 planes and nine ships searched the 98,000-square-mile search area yesterday. However, they came up empty-handed.
Great Britain has joined in the search. The Royal Navy sent the HMS Tireless, an advanced, Trafalgar Class submarine; and a ship, the HMS Echo. Currently the international search effort includes Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, South Korea, China, Japan and the United States. The fleet of planes and watercraft is composed of both military and civilian crafts -- including a Gulfstream G650 jet owned by "Lord of the Rings" director Peter Jackson. The plane, according to ABC, is being used to deliver messages between the search teams.
A former Australian defense chief, the now retired Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston, was appointed to coordinate the search efforts earlier this week. He has sounded very pragmatic about the search and recently told Australia Broadcast Radio, "If we don't find anything on the surface, we'll have to think about what we do next, because clearly it's vitally important for the families, it's vitally important for the governments involved, that we find this airplane."

A rock group, 5,000 spectators dancing without a safe distance. A Barcelona venue took a trip to a pre-pandemic world on Saturday aimed at showing that concerts are possible, despite the Covid. "I am very, very moved. It's been a year and a half since we went on stage ", proclaimed Santi Balmes, singer of Love of Lesbian, flagship group of the independent Spanish scene, after a first title very aptly titled No one in the streets ".
A euphoria shared by spectators jumping, dancing, singing at the top of their lungs and even having a beer at the counter, as if the pandemic had disappeared for an evening. "It's incredible, a lot of emotion. We had forgotten this crowd feeling, it's like it was my first concert, "said Jordi in the pit of the Palau Sant Jordi. "We really wanted to do something different, to take a step towards normality," said Marina, 25, who preferred, however, "to keep the distance" with the other spectators.
Mandatory test before
Organized by a group of festivals, music promoters and a local hospital, this experience is one of the few to have taken place in Europe in contemporary music. Another test concert took place in early March in the Netherlands with 1,300 people And nothing was left to chance: tests, FFP2 masks at all times and reinforced ventilation. On Saturday morning, the dance floors of three Barcelona nightclubs, closed due to the pandemic, were transformed into field hospitals where white coats tested all participants for antigen.
Like a sesame, the negative result automatically validated the ticket stored in the mobile phone.
"We hope it will be completely safe. For 14 days, we will look at which spectators have caught the Covid and we will notify "the cases, explained Josep Maria Llibre, doctor of the Germans Trias i Pujol hospital in Badalone, near Barcelona. Already in December, his team had organized a pilot project in a hall in Barcelona with 500 spectators previously tested. A few days later, none had contracted the virus.
An experience to repeat?
The objective of this clinical experience is "to find out how we can live with the Covid and organize concerts in a completely safe way," Ventura Barba, executive director of the Barcelona Sónar festival, one of the organizers told AFP. .
This week, this renowned electronic music festival announced its cancellation for the second year in a row, like many others in Europe. "The pandemic has been horrible for everyone, but for music in particular," according to Ventura Barba. According to a report published by the Federation Música de España, which represents the sector in Spain, the European music industry lost 76% of its turnover in 2020.
