Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) officers will be allowed to break down doors or close roads and obtain fingerprints from unconscious persons during emergencies, after Parliament approved amendments to the Civil Defence Act on Tuesday (20 November).
This will give the officers powers to enter private premises and remove obstacles in their way to extricate persons in emergency and rescue operations, said Second Minister for Home Affairs Josephine Teo.
They will also be given protection from legal liabilities when they are required to take risks during operations, such as cutting open trapped vehicles.
"SCDF officers ought to be allowed to focus on the job at hand on saving lives, without being distracted by concerns about whether they would be charged or sued for damages caused while performing their duties," Teo said.
She stressed, however, this does not mean that officers can act "with wanton disregard". The protection applies in situations when they have "acted in good faith and reasonable care," she added.
The powers and protection from legal liability will also be extended to private ambulance operators as well as Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) medics attached to SCDF, when they are attending to emergency calls.
Obtaining fingerprints during emergencies
SCDF officers and other authorised individuals attending to EMS calls will also allowed be to obtain the fingerprints or other personal identifiers of a person whose identity is not known or is unconscious or otherwise unable to communicate.
Teo noted that the identities of eight per cent of some 165,000 EMS patients attended to in 2017, or 14,000 of them, could not be confirmed because some were unresponsive or did not carry identification cards.
"If such patients could have been identified, the ambulance crew could have expeditiously obtained the relevant health information from MOH and deliver more appropriate and timely medical interventions," she added.
Teo said that the Ministry of Home Affairs will work with the Ministry of Health to grant the authorised personnel access to the relevant health information, "strictly on a need-to-know basis".
SCDF will also put in place IT processes including password-protected and information-encrypted devices to capture fingerprints as well as imposing penalties for any misuse, she added.
Installing emergency devices in buildings
It will also be an offence for building owners to not provide SCDF with access to their premises for the installation of prescribed emergency devices, such as public warning system sirens. SCDF will also be empowered to enter premises to assess and repair the emergency devices.
Non-compliant building owners can be fined up to $10,000 and jailed up to three years. They can also be fined up to a further $1,000 for each day of non-compliance after conviction.
Additionally, any wilful removal or destruction, damage or tampering of emergency devices may result in a fine of up to $50,00 and a jail term of up to three years.
Teo said, "We hope building owners recognise the importance of the public warning system and come onboard willingly. Legal action will be taken as a last resort against building owners who refuse to cooperate for no good reason."
Longer age of service allowed
SCDF NSmen will also be allowed to serve beyond the stipulated maximum age of 40 for those ranked Senior Warrant Officer and below, and 50 for Second Lieutenants and above.
"It is in line with what SAF and Police NSmen are currently allowed to do," said Teo.
Changes will also be introduced to SCDF's summary trial process. For instance, to address situations where offences only come to light later, SCDF national servicemen can be tried within three years from the day the offence was reported or discovered.
It will also be an offence for SCDF officers to not comply with orders to go for medical examinations or treatment, including vaccinations.
In addition, any person who impersonates or misrepresents himself as an SCDF officer may also be fined up to S$2,500 and jailed up to six months.
Offenders who manufacture or sell SCDF uniforms or insignia without proper authorisation can also be fined up to S$10,000 and jailed up to three years.
The amendments will help enhance SCDF's response and efficiency, according to Teo. Some of these changes will be applied to other Home Team departments where similar changes are proposed, she said.

We need somebody to get our guys ready for this donk game next week. Somebody who knows their defensive unit inside and out, every player's pros and cons.

Who can read them like a book and put our team in position to take advantage. Any suggestions?

The Raiders have figured out how to use Khalil Mack #52, and it's terrifying
"McCown was looking at the other side of the field, going through his progressions, when he felt Khalil Mack #52 coming at the last minute, but he couldn't climb the pocket quick enough to get away this time. Not only did Khalil Mack get his second sack of the season a mere eight plays after his first, he also stuck his hand in there and forced McCown to fumble. " –SB Nation

Further Project Details:
The Opportunity Programme
Univ has launched an ambitious new scheme – the Opportunity Programme – to expand the number of UK students from disadvantaged backgrounds at the College.
"I am delighted to welcome Univ's creative new initiative to bring to Oxford more smart students from disadvantaged backgrounds and to provide them with an innovative bridging programme to help ensure that they thrive here." – Professor Louise Richardson, Oxford University's Vice-Chancellor
From the October 2016 admissions round, the College increased its undergraduate intake by 10%. These new places are filled through the University's normal competitive admissions process, but are available only to students who come from disadvantaged backgrounds. These additional students were selected in the usual way and according to the usual academic criteria. The aim of the scheme is simple – to ensure that very deserving students of high potential who come from disadvantaged backgrounds, but who might otherwise miss out on a place at Oxford due to the sheer number of applications, have the chance to study here.
Further details, including comprehensive FAQs, can be found on the Opportunity Programme page.
To find out more about ways of making your gift see our Give Back to Univ page here.
The Goodhart Project
First opened in 1962, the Goodhart Building has already housed two generations of students, and allowed them to live on the main site, in the heart of the College – a place of friendship and community, and a brilliantly effective support for academic achievement. It is a vital component of the College's accommodation provision.
"I think it's very important that people today should have the same privileges that we were lucky enough to have in our time; without new buildings and up-to-date facilities of all sorts that's never going to happen" – Arthur Weir (1952, Law)
In 2014, a major refurbishment was undertaken to fulfil the more stringent environmental requirements of the 21st Century, and to meet the needs of the next generation of students. This successful renovation has included a range of measures intended to make the building not only more usable and comfortable, but also more energy efficient.
To find out more about the Goodhart Project Supporters and Partners please read our Goodhart brochure PDF or see the pictures Pinterest.
We are extremely grateful to all donors who have given to this project, including the Wolfson Foundation, who have kindly provided a grant of £50,000 towards the cost of the refurbishment.
Bill Sykes Memorial Fund
The Reverend Bill Sykes, College Chaplain from 1978-2005 and Emeritus Fellow until his sudden death in 2015, was an extraordinary man who left an indelible mark on College and generations of students who participated in his "Reflection groups", sang in the chapel choir, played sport, or just knew Bill as a kind friend and unerring supporter.
"Bill had more impact on me than anyone else I met in my three years at Univ. A rare gem, one of life's truly good people. I will miss him dearly." – Nic Isham
The College has established The Bill Sykes Memorial Fund to continue Bill's legacy by providing perpetual funds in support of two of Bill's passions: the Chapel Choir and College sport.
If you would like to make a gift to the Bill Sykes Memorial Fund please do so via our online giving form, selecting "Other" under "Designation" , and write "The Reverend William Sykes Memorial Fund" in the box. Or contact the Development Office – E: firstname.lastname@example.com
Roger Short Memorial Fund
Roger Short was educated at Malvern College and at Univ, where he was a Classics Scholar from 1963-1967. A fluent Turkish speaker he devoted much of his subsequent career in the British Foreign & Commonwealth Office to the country; he was serving as British Consul General in Istanbul when he was killed in a terrorist attack on the Consulate building in November, 2003.
"My time in Turkey provided me with a fundamentally unique experience, which I could never have experienced without the benevolence of a Roger Short Scholarship." – Abigail Reeves (2012, Law)
The Roger Short Memorial Fund finances a travel scholarship programme to Turkey and neighbouring countries (particularly Greece, Bulgaria and Cyprus, but with the emphasis on Turkey) in perpetuity. This is an extension of a travel scholarship programme already in place at the College. You can read many of the reports written by those who have benefited from the fund by selecting "Travel Reports" on our News and Features page. College also publishes an annual Roger Short Memorial Fund Newsletter which can be found on our Publications page.
If you would like to make a gift to the Roger Short Memorial Fund please see our Give Back to Univ page or contact the Development Office – E: email@example.com

Postgraduate Scholarships
In common with the world's great universities, Oxford has a large and growing postgraduate body, trained at the most exacting levels in superb facilities. They leave with specialist knowledge, multidisciplinary experience and advanced research skills, to address the monumental challenges facing our global society and business.
The College recognises that to attract the world's smartest postgraduates complete funding is an absolute necessity. Full funding is offered as a matter of course by many of the world's leading universities, and Univ currently loses exceptionally able students as a result.
"The status of the graduate degree qualification is steadily taking the place of the undergraduate degree as a passport to the top jobs." – Professor Peter Jezzard, Dean of Graduates
However, the College is currently operating two generous matched funding schemes and is unique among Oxford colleges in this respect. The two schemes have the power to double the value of significant donations received before 2018.
Leverage of this kind is unprecedented in the history of the College, and it brings within our sights the prospect of fully funding fifty postgraduate places at Univ. Our aim is to bring about full funding for all of our postgraduate research students, and with your help we hope to achieve this by the end of 2018.
For further information on ways in which you can support College in this area please contact the Development Office – E: firstname.lastname@example.com
Profiles of, and interviews with, a number of Univ's former postgraduates can be viewed on our Young Univ Gallery website.
Postgraduate Study at Univ – The Vital Statistics
- There are approximately 200 postgraduates at Univ
- Postgraduates at Univ come from more than 40 countries
- 38% come from the UK and 62% from overseas
- Only two thirds of DPhil students, and one third of Masters students are fully funded
In addition to matched funding from the Oxford-Radcliffe and University schemes, the College also arranges partnership funding with individual departments across Oxford. These collaborations further reduce the cost to the College of supporting its postgraduates, extending the value of your philanthropic investment.
A collection of major gifts (£25,000 and above) will help to generate crucial funding and leverage further support, allowing Univ to secure the brightest talent, students who can truly contribute to the College's intellectual community. In many cases, your gift to postgraduate scholarships could increase almost threefold through various matching programmes.
The Oxford-Radcliffe Scholarships
A group of anonymous Univ Old Members committed £10m towards postgraduate scholarships in December 2012.
£4m of this commitment is in the form of "challenge" funding. Donations from other Old Member's to postgraduate scholarships will be matched on a ratio of 1:2 – each £2m raised by the College will release an additional £1m of matched funding for permanent endowment to postgraduate study.
The Oxford-Radcliffe Benefaction, along with the Oxford Graduate Matched Fund, has the potential to significantly add to the value of your donation.
For further information on ways in which your gift can be maximised through the Oxford-Radcliffe Benefaction please contact the Development Office – E: firstname.lastname@example.com
"One of the things that influenced my decision to study at Univ was the fact that the College offers excellent funding for conferences, providing a vital opportunity to share new discoveries with fellow researchers." – Julia Brouard
The Oxford-Radcliffe Scholarships are targeted on the following subject areas:
- Biomedical and Medical Sciences, including interdisciplinary research in Centres for Doctoral Training
- Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences, including interdisciplinary research in Centres for Doctoral Training
- Earth Sciences
- Politics, Public Policy, International Relations and Global Governance
- Economics
- Other subjects (limited to 10% of Oxford-Radcliffe Scholars)
Benefactors Case Study – Paul Chellgren
Paul Chellgren is an American citizen, who came up to Univ in 1966 to read Economics as a postgraduate. Until his retirement in 2002, Paul was Chairman and CEO of Ashland Inc., a global diversified energy and chemical company. He is now an Operating Partner of Snow Phipps, a private equity firm with $1.5 billion of assets under management.
Paul is a leading benefactor of the College and wished to create the newest postgraduate scholarship in Economics at Univ. The Oxford-Chellgren Scholarship in Economics is the first endowed scholarship to qualify for funding from both the University-wide matched funding programme and the Univ-specific Oxford-Radcliffe scheme.
"I am pleased to support postgraduate scholarships in Economics at Univ. Oxford and our College must have the resources to attract and support the very best students on a global basis." – Paul Chellgren (1966, Economics)
Capitalising on two matched funding opportunities Paul's four-year commitment of £465,000 will trigger the University's Graduate Scholarship Matched Fund programme and secure an additional £310,000 of funding. His pledge, together with the University's matched funding, generates £775,000, providing permanent endowment income of £31,000 to fund a new standalone postgraduate scholarship.
Paul's commitment not only unlocks University funding; it also qualifies under the terms of the Oxford-Radcliffe benefaction. Once Univ has secured £2m in philanthropic commitments for postgraduate scholarships, a further £1m will be released from the anonymous benefaction. Paul's gift will be credited with releasing a portion of these funds, as shown above.
Incorporating both of these matching mechanisms, Paul's philanthropy has the potential to be worth more than £1m to the College.
With the support of our Old Members we have an achievable opportunity to shape the future of postgraduate study at the College and further place Univ on the global stage. Major gifts (£25,000 and above) towards postgraduate scholarships at Univ are encouraged and donations can be structured over a period of two to five years. Leadership shown by our donors will not only reflect their loyalty to Univ, but be a catalyst for innovation and excellence in the next generation of the College's postgraduate students.

I don't normally go for roguelikes or even early access games but I've been enjoying this so far.
This looks great. Dead Cells launched in a similar mostly finished state and they just kept adding weapons and content on a constant basis. If this follows the same path it should be a great success.
I've never played a Supergiant game that I didn't like, but this may be the first I skip due to just not being a huge fan of rouge style games.
This looks stylish as hell. But, besides style, the thing I've always liked about Supergiant games is that they play so different from the other games that are out there. But this looks like a ton of other games.

I've never played a Supergiant game that I didn't like, but this may be the first I skip due to just not being a huge fan of rouge style games.
Yah not a fan of run based randomly generated tilesets.
just a question. When the team starts most videos with a sad or low energy "its another one of those" or "you know ___ game...THEY made another one" but go on to like the game. My question is...since their critics do they just get tired like i mean super duper tired even when a game is good...do they expect something pushing a new genre each time to excite them...like a game that you cant say is like another game you played...example katamari or rock of ages. Cause i would never expect shooters, hack and slash, open world, or action adventure (what they play mostly and say this phrase) to be very revolutionary. Mostly expect them to just be good takes with a difference here and there.
So I just bought this about an hour ago and the Epic store won't let me access it in any way. The store page shows an Install button that does nothing and the library tab doesn't show it at all.
Wondering if anyone else has had any similar issues with the store? I was hopeful that some solid competition would give Steam a reason to get their **** together but this is a horrid first impression (even Uplay works on the most basic level). I contacted support and I'm hoping it's not just one team working all the Fortnite stuff and also assisting with Store issues -_-

This game is rad and I'm really liking it so far.
I just see that as "a better Gauntlet."
This game looks super cool, but I really don't wanna buy it and burn out on it before they finish it.
"They shoot a beam out and rotate" is the first-person platforming of third-person isometric action.
@dumari: I had the same issue Sunday night. It was late and I didn't feel like dealing with so I went bed. It resolved itself, and the game was in my library Monday morning and I could download it.
Do you ever get away from the green environments? Everything I've seen is that green light slime looking atmosphere and am just wondering if that changes
@steveurkel the zone after the first boss is a very different color, and presumably zones beyond that will also be different tilesets.
To address the randomness issue: the rooms are (as Jeff briefly mentioned in the video) hand-crafted/pre-created, there doesn't seem to be any procedural generation happening beyond what rooms are appearing/what order they're appearing in. Which means you do notice repeat rooms after a while with the game at this point, but the combat and core gameplay loop is engaging enough that it didn't bother me.
More generally:
Nabbed this game over the weekend because I couldn't resist the Supergiant polish and I'm really enjoying it so far, the combat is reminiscent of Bastion which makes it stand out enough from a lot of its roguelike peers - that and the *tons* of voice acting and character/world-building. There's a couple of characters that clearly share placeholder art, but it's gorgeous enough and the voice acting is so solid that it didn't detract from my play experience even if I were evaluating it as a non-early-access game.
Considering the current version is something like 0.11, Hades is extremely polished and an excellent early access debut. I think I've exhausted most of the main content loop that's in the game so far after 20 or so hours with it (getting through 4 completed runs in that time); though I've still been discovering a neat new thing on the margins every other run or so.
If you feel like waiting on more updates before you take the plunge on this game that's entirely fair though: the game's only going to get better, and shotgunning it now does leave you sad that there isn't more already simply because it's so good.
Man Darren Korb is just the best. Hopefully Ashley is in there as well.
Build That Wall (Zia's Theme) is still possibly my favorite piece of video game music ever. Let's see if this game will finally beat it.
Hmm... One percent human is a very generous threshold, Ben... Very suspicious
@cherryberry: Turns out it 'fixed itself' for me about 3 hours later. What an infuriating system -_-

I liked Supergiant's previous games well enough that even a "genre exercise" from them would be a day-one purchase for me. Although now after watching the QL, it seems like the world and characters are more fleshed out than what I've come to expect from a rogue-lite game.
First half of this QL I was not interested at all, but the second half showed some promising things. I wish you could perma-unlock perks like the instafiring bow, though, just looks like a much more fun way to play the game. Very interested to see what the next "major update" is.

In Greek mythos, Achilles is in the underworld because pretty much everyone goes to the underworld when they die (put very blunt, upon death the soul goes to the afterlife which is basically a waiting period for the soul to be reincarnated into another body in Ancient Greece). Not that this game is accurate (unless Supergiant goes to the trouble of showing characters keeping coins under their tongues), but Achilles finally fell at Troy to one of Paris' arrows to his heel.
If souls are judged favorably by the judges of the underworld, they'll go to Elysium. If not, they might get thrown all the way down to Tartarus. The gods live at Olympus where Zeus is a jerk.
As for Achilles supposed immortality, the story goes something that Achilles was dipped in the river Styx as a child but only up to his heel (where he was held), hence why he was weak there. His mom is Thetis, a goddess of the sea. Also Achilles was a jerk as demigods go, though kinda hard not to be when your death had been prophesied from the get go and all you're good at is killing and wailing about Patroclus while dragging Hector's body in a circle around a pyre.
I hoped Supergiant would try something new. All of their games have a similar look (perspective, graphics, voices) and play kinda the same with some variations.

I think Klei Entertainment also show a countdown the next patch for their games in early access. I remember Don't Starve and Oxygen Not Included both had that.
Ben really taking a stand against cannibalism. I may have to unsubscribe.
i love supergiant's art and style- but i'm having a hard time getting excited about the setting and the gameplay.
i'll defo check back in once it hits 1.0 though.

So much of the art in this game has to be influenced by Takeshi Koike / Yoh Yoshinari (Madhouse/Redline/Animatrix/Trava Fist Planet) which is awesome, it's cool to see the environment be this colorful but keep Koike's signature flat black shadows and detailed hard linework. If they did that by accident, still cool.
Between this and Ashen, Journey, Outer Wilds, robo recall (and mod kit, for a ground up vr shooter, sounds cool?) and UE4 support for creators, epic has a pretty compelling reason to install their client, these games were an awesome surprise. I hope Steam in turn does anything as a result/response to curate their storefronts better.

@dudeglove: I didn't want to be that guy, but it kept bugging me when the crew acted like Hades is the equivalent of Hell. Thanks for bringing this up.
For those that are curious, as dudeglove mentioned, Hades is more or less the underworld for all mortals. It is separated into multiple realms - Tartarus being the closest in proximity to our concept of Hell. In this instance, Supergiant lists the character as being in Tartarus so the tone and environment art make sense in this instance (good on them). Just wanted to clarify for others since the crew kept implying Hades as a whole was 'hell' (at least that's how I interpreted their comments).
With that in mind, I'll be curious to see if Supergiant expand the game out to explore the meadows and Elyssium as well. Hopefully they do, and they can create a unique, awesome art style while still being evocative of those particular realms within Hades.
/* disgruntled classics major here */
Maaan I super don't want yet another launcher and store tying my digital purchases together. I'm 95% digital and the age of "where are my licenses tied to" is starting to become confusing. I can't even remember where all my albums for music are located now!
Gotta say though I'm very interested in this. Transistor is a near perfect game for me and I listen to the soundtrack all the time. They made a good decision by buying rights to sell it early there because it's got me eager. Thank you for posting this.
This looks great; I look forward to playing this once it's fully released. Thanks for the QL.
I have the Fury Sisters' first album on vinyl.

I was always pretty lukewarm on the roguelike thing, but I'm fully checked out now, which is too bad, because the narrative/artistic aspects of this seem really cool.
Most probably no one is going to read this, but just in case: does anything notable happen if you give Achilles the eighth bottle of ambrosia (the max you can give him right now)? I mean in the vein of the little, slightly-expanded cutscenes you can get by giving ambrosia to other characters, like with chatting with Dusa in the lounge and getting Orpheus to sing again. I know I could just go back in and nab another bottle for him, but I finally got as far as you can currently get in this game tonight, and it really seems like a beautiful place to walk away from the game for a bit. I don't want to miss anything that might be patched out for the characters I like, though.
Dang, it's tough not having a dedicated Steam forum or whatnot for this game.
I just finished this game for the first time after being addicted to it. It is currently my GOTY. It has great game play, beautiful art style, an amazing soundtrack and a great story that unfolds with each attempt. I highly recommend it to everyone.

So your playing is in a rut. It's always the same licks, runs, solos...
Here is a method that is sure to get you thinking and playing in new ways: emulate other instruments with your guitar.
I'm not talking about buying a MIDI guitar so your guitar actually sounds like other instruments.
Rather, listen to how other instrumentalists play. How do sax players phrase their lines? How do piano players voice chords? How do drummers change the feel for different sections of the song?
Every instrument lends itself to certian techniques and ways of playing. For instance, the tuning of a guitar makes drop 2 chords extremely easy to voice. On a piano, it's easy to play cluster voicings with lots of small intervals...close to impossible on guitar.
Do this. Pick an instrument you want to learn from. Listen to several recordings (or better yet, go see someone play it live). Make notes of common techniques, cliches, etc. employed by this instrument. Lastly, try to get the same thing happening on guitar.
Have fun with this, and keep your mind and ears open. You never know where inspiration may come from.

Addressing issues of factory safety, labor rights emphasized
"Continued economic development and growth depends on Bangladesh remaining vigilant and continuing to address issues like factory safety and labor rights," she said.
The US Ambassador was addressing a farewell lunch hosted by Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) at its office.
The US Ambassador appreciated BGMEA leaders' essential role in managing the engine of Bangladesh's economy, helping to lift hundreds of thousands of workers out of poverty, and making Bangladesh a key player in global trade.
She said since 2013, with the help of Accord and Alliance, apparel manufacturers have dramatically transformed their garment and apparel factories, making them among the safest in world.
"I encourage you to draw on the expertise and experience that Alliance and Accord have to offer and to accept transitional arrangements to keep your hard-earned progress on track until the RCC (Remediation Coordination Center) is ready to assume full responsibility," she said.
The Ambassador, however, said the next big hurdle for BGMEA is the issue of worker rights.
"Unfortunately, progress here has lagged in recent years. I encourage you to make necessary and relevant legislative changes as soon as possible. There is no upside to dragging this out," she said.
Bernicat said bringing laws up to international standards – and implementing them – will improve Bangladesh's international competitiveness and help it increase its market share in the worldwide garment industry.
"Continuing to delay action – especially as consumers pay increasingly more attention to these labor issues in their buying decisions – threatens to undermine the country's good reputation and increases the risk that international buyers will begin to look elsewhere," she said.
As one of Bangladesh's main development partners, the US celebrated Bangladesh's recent achievement of lower middle income status.
Bernicat said the US congratulated Bangladesh for already meeting all three UN criteria necessary for graduating from LDC status in 2024.
The US Ambassador wished much success and luck in business endeavors by the BGMEA leaders.
"I look forward to many more years of close partnership between Bangladesh and the United States, to the mutual benefit of both countries," she said.
BGMEA President M Siddiqur Rahman thanked the departing US Ambassador for her constructive role in strengthening the Bangladesh-US relations and extending support for the development of Bangladesh RMG industry.
Terming the US as one of the key export destinations for Bangladesh's apparel, he further laid emphasis on continued support from the country for the industry.
BGMEA Senior Vice President Faruque Hassan, Vice President (Finance) Mohammed Nasir and Directors M Shahidul Haque Mukul, MA Rahim (Feroz), M Ashikur Rahman (Tuhin), Mizanur Rahman Chowdhury, M Munir Hossain, M Atiqul Karim Khan, M Rezwan Selim and M Shaif Ullah were also present at the programme.

SportsHandle.com is your place for everything to know about legal Mississippi sports betting. On Aug. 1, 2018, the Beau Rivage Casino and Resort and Gold Strike Casino Resort took the state's first sports bets and by the end of the month, 20 of the state's commercial casinos were offering sports betting.
In addition, two tribal casinos owned by the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians opened sportsbooks. The Sportsbook at Timeout Lounge at the Golden Moon Hotel and Casino and the sportsbook at Bok Homa Casino, both at the Pearl River Casino Resort, are accepting sports bets. Tribal casinos do not fall under the umbrella of the state's gaming board.
Below is a primer on the Mississippi sports betting scene as well as the Supreme Court sports betting case that ushered in this new era.
Mississippi Sports Betting Overview
In June 2018, the Mississippi Gaming Commission's website rolled out their regulations, covering everything from definitions of sports betting terms to how to pay out wagers. The 22-page document makes no allowance for an "integrity fee" or royalty to be paid out the professional sports leagues. By the end of the summer, 20 commercial and two tribal sportsbooks had opened for sports betting.
"The tax rate on [on sports betting revenues] will be 12 percent — 8 percent going to the state, 4 percent local tax, which is the same as every other gaming tax in Mississippi," Allen Godfrey, Executive Director of the Mississippi Gaming Commission, told Sports Handle.
For the time being, sports betting will be allowed only on premises at the casinos, some of which may offer apps, which will only be accessible on premises as well.
Most sportsbooks offer wagering on a full menu of professional and collegiate athletic events, including on Ole Miss and Mississippi State games. This is notable because New Jersey's regulations will not currently allow wagering on collegiate events in-state.

United States Supreme Court Overturns PASPA: What That Means for Legal Sports Betting.
On May 14, 2018, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the state of New Jersey in Murphy vs. NCAA, overturning the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA), the 1992 federal law that prohibited full-fledged sports betting in every state except Nevada.
In essence, that means sports wagering is now a states' rights issue. Every to state is free to choose if it wants sports betting and, if so, how to regulate it and tax it.
Since May 14, legal Delaware sports betting began at its three commercial casinos on June 5, and the state of New Jersey accepted its first sports bet at Monmouth Park on June 14.
The road to the United States Supreme Court (SCOTUS) took about seven years in a lengthy legal battle between New Jersey and the NCAA alongside the major professional sports leagues, who used PASPA to block the state from offering sports betting. The high court heard oral argument in the case in December 2017 and ruled in May, with Justice Samuel Alito authoring the majority opinion.
In an opinion joined by all of the justices except Justice Ginsburg and Justice Sotomayor, Alito stated:
The legalization of sports gambling requires an important policy choice, but the choice is not ours to make.
Congress can regulate sports gambling directly, but if it elects not to do so, each State is free to act on its own. Our job is to interpret the law Congress has enacted and decide whether it is consistent with the Constitution. PASPA is not. PASPA 'regulate[s] state governments' regulation' of their citizens, New York, 505 U. S., at 166. The Constitution gives Congress no such power. The judgment of the Third Circuit is reversed."
New Jersey built its case on constitutional grounds — arguing that the law "commandeered" states to uphold its anti-gambling laws, or maintain them, or prevent states from repealing them — in violation of principles of state sovereignty. And it worked. Congress had overstepped its bounds. Congress could have outright banned sports wagering, and still could, but that's not what PASPA did.
The case, originally titled Christie v NCAA (it changed with the new governor), was heard by the Supreme Court after making its way through the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals, before SCOTUS granted New Jersey's petition for a day in the high court.
What Was the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act?
The Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act, known as PASPA, is the 1992 law that prohibits sports betting in every state except Nevada. Ironically, New Jersey senator Bill Bradley, a former New York Knick, was a driving force behind the bill. The key ideas behind the bill were to preserve the "integrity of the games," to stop youths from betting on sports, and to prevent other states from legalizing sports betting.
At the time the law was passed, New Jersey was among the states that had one year to legalize sports betting, but the state failed to do so. Three states, Delaware, Montana and Oregon did take advantage of the one-year filing deadline to continue quasi-sports betting games. The law grants the U.S. attorney general and the leagues the power to go to the courts to block a state from legalizing sports betting, which is what the leagues have done with New Jersey.

By Andrew J Franklinmarch
Barrier planning along the entirety of Kenya's border with Somalia is long overdue. The deteriorating situation in Yemen will soon give both Al Qaeda in the Arabian Penninsula and ISIS new opportunities to penetrate the Horn of Africa via Somalia and Northern Kenya.
Announcements from the office of Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Nkaissery concerning construction of a "wall" along our porous border should be seriously interrogated in order to ensure we get cost effective integrated security solutions that are technically appropriate, conceptually sound and within Kenya's existing capabilities to build and maintain.
During the last 12 months I have been promoting in digital and print media a 'Somalia Border Control Project', which can be fully implemented in 12 to 18 months. Massacres of innocent Kenyans by al Shabaab since June 2014 (eg Mpeketoni-Hindi, Mandera – twice) and al Shabaab's ongoing campaign of ambushes on official convoys or gun and grenade attacks on business premises, government facilities and essential utilities in the Front Line counties of Mandera, Lamu, Garissa and Wajir need urgent response by government agencies at all levels, whether national or county.
The existential threat to Kenya's security is the al Shabaab-instigated insurgency spreading through the historically marginalised areas of the four Front Line counties, whose porous borders with Somalia constitute a two-way conduit for terrorists, migrants, weapons and ammunition, logistics or supplies and illicit goods.
The total budget for a 'Somalia Border Control Project' is roughly $260 million (Sh23.6 billion), including cost of materials and labour. This will result in substantial improvements in security throughout the Front Line counties as well as in the rest of the country as al Shabaab insurgents are shut off from their support networks in Somalia and their ability to launch terrorist attacks against civilian targets in Nairobi and Mombasa starts to degrade.
Weapons proliferation, human trafficking, commodities smuggling and other "apolitical" criminal activities will also be curtailed and mitigated as salutary consequences of government actions to close our border. To put this into context, the budget for the Safaricom Integrated Surveillance Project is Sh15 billion, and it is being rolled out only in Nairobi and, latterly, in Mombasa; $160 million is being spent while al Shabaab fighters turn large swathes of Kenya into "no go" zones.
Funds for various aspects of this project can be drawn from counties' budgets, Lapsset, national infrastructure allocations, as well as existing KDF, National Police Service and National Intelligence Service budgets (ie procurement, facilities construction, etc).
Kenya's foreign allies in its war against terror are willing to support security related infrastructure development – as has been done elsewhere (eg Afghanistan, Kurdistan, Djibouti) – and the government needs to put forward its case for no strings attached financial assistance without delay. The unfolding Yemen debacle will only further destabilise our Front Line counties as al Shabaab ramps up its efforts to create sanctuaries along the border from which to launch attacks against the government in Mogadishu and its Amisom supporters.
The cost of the Somalia Border Control Project is a known quantity, whereas the cost of doing little or nothing or acting without thought is incalculable.
The basic components of this Somalia Border Control Project include: Immediate declaration of a one kilometre-wide "exclusion zone" with curfew along the entire 700km border with Somalia; establishment of four to six properly manned border posts or reception centres to control all entry and exit between Kenya and Somalia; construction of physical and electronic barriers along the entire border to include laying of properly marked and mapped minefields to channel potential cross border traffic to the reception centres; 24/7 patrols initially by KDF elements along a military grade murram all-weather road within our exclusion zone.
A concomitant and immediate solution to our current deteriorating security situation will be the construction of an all arms forward combat base into which KDF elements deployed to Sector Two can be withdrawn to be reconstituted into appropriate manoeuvre units capable of offensive action against al Shabaab along Kenya's border with Somalia. Whether these units remain part of Amisom is for the government to determine, based on careful considerations of Kenya's national interests and aggressive negotiation with its partners in Igad.
Effectively closing the Somalia border while ensuring KDF combat units remain in close proximity to launch ground-air assaults on al Shabaab and to continue to train, equip and support Amisom's local allies in Jubaland is no loss for the Federal Government in Mogadishu, nor is it a victory for al Shabaab.
We can prioritise certain tasks such as emplacing security integrated solutions to protect critical infrastructure in Mandera, Garissa and Wajir; immediate solutions are needed to be able to lift the seemingly open-ended Lamu curfew.
Ultimately Kenya needs to fully implement the NPS Act 2011 so that the KDF can hand over its activities within Kenya's borders to a reconstituted NPS Rapid Deployment Unit supported by locally recruited organised NPS Reserve Units 'married' to their regular RDU elements who are permanently assigned to border control in the four Front Line counties.
Within 12 months, the Wajir Combat Base would become the hub for all security related activities in NEP and would be under NPS Command and include KDF, NIS, Kenya Revenue Authority, NPS – regular and reservists – not merely to fight al Shabaab but to enable the county authorities to roll back the spreading domestic insurgency.

The municipality of Rotterdam (The Netherlands) has chosen for the electric Silence scooters via a large tender. In the following 4 years around 200 scooters will be purchased for the Supervision and Enforcement department.
The Silence scooter is no stranger to the municipality of Rotterdam. At the end of 2016 they tested the e-scooter, after which the large range of up to 180 km on one battery charge was the reason to purchase around 30 Silence scooters. Two years later, the confidence in the Silence was officially confirmed by the planned purchase of around 200 scooters. These are delivered and maintained over a period of four years by the Rotterdam dealer Allbikes.
The large range of the Silence is not the only reason for the positive outcome of the tender. The excellent seating position is also a great advantage according to Roteb Lease, fleet manager of the municipality of Rotterdam. "The Silence scooter is more spacious than other scooters, making it very comfortable to drive," said account manager René van Benten back in 2016. The Silence is one of the few e-scooters that has been specially developed for business use. This is reflected, among other things, in the robust B2B chassis and the large loading capacity of 175 kg.
In the Netherlands in addition to Rotterdam, various postal companies, security guards, meal delivery staff, driving schools, municipalities such as The Hague, Groningen, Tilburg and 's-Hertogenbosch have already opted for the Silence. The e-scooter is developed and produced by the Spanish company Silence by Scutum. This applies to both the frame and the batteries. The company has a production capacity of 10,000 scooters and 20,000 batteries per year. Behind the company are the strong investors Repsol (oil company) and the Caixa bank. This makes Silence very strong in the field of product development. For example, the Silence S03 is currently being presented, the three-wheeled version of the current model, the S02. The SO3 offers even greater cargo options.
E-Milers.com B.V. is the exclusive importer of the Silence scooters in the Netherlands.
