Introduction #
With the start to 2019, we are here at a new tax season. This year with the prolonged shutdown and constant fears of delays from the IRS, tax season has enjoyed more media attention that usual. And many are rushing for them since we don't know if the government will shutdown again. So today's table topics is all about taxes. I will keep the questions simple and hopefully everyone gets to speak.
Questions #
- What would you do if you get a $10k tax refund?
- If all taxes were in the form of volunteer work, what would you like to work on?
- Do you think there should be taxes?
- If taxes were like tips what would you pay?

Small businesses in Virginia and Utah will soon receive clearer information about the money they borrow from merchant lending companies.
But the disclosures will miss one number: the annual percentage rate they will pay for each loan. This will not be the case in New York and California, where lawmakers require non-bank commercial lenders to disclose APRs.
Diverging paths in states — and future fights in more state houses — are the result of opposing lobbying efforts by lenders and a debate over the appropriateness of APRs for certain types of business loans.
On the one hand, small business groups say APR disclosures are key to ensuring business owners can make apples-to-apples comparisons on loan options — without accidentally accepting a triple-digit interest rate. due to unclear disclosures.
"Small businesses deserve to buy capital safely without worrying about exorbitant APRs and unfair or opaque loan terms," said Awesta Sarkash, director of government affairs at the nonprofit group Small Business Majority.
The group is part of Responsible Business Lending Coalition, whose members include fintech companies LendingClub and Funding Circle, as well as a trade group representing community development financial institutions. The coalition lobbied for disclosure of the APR as part of its "Small Business Borrowers Bill of Rights".
Opponents of APR disclosures include the Small Business Finance Association. The group represents non-bank commercial lenders whose products include merchant cash advances, where businesses receive cash upfront in exchange for a portion of their future sales.
The group has asked lawmakers in a handful of states to implement disclosures it deems "meaningful" to businesses, such as total fees, estimated number of payments and their amounts, and potential penalties for the early repayment of a loan.
But he pushed back on efforts to include APRs in disclosures, arguing they can be misleading by making short-term loans appear more expensive. The group says that since merchant cash advances often don't have a specific duration — and instead are based on future sales — calculating an APR requires making estimates that can end up being wrong.
"You can do it roughly, but it can be extremely misleading for a company to disclose an APR based on an estimated term," said Steve Denis, executive director of the Small Business Finance Association.
The debate is unfolding in several state legislatures, including North Carolina, Missouri, Maryland, Connecticut and New Jersey, where lawmakers have weighed different versions of commercial loan disclosure measures.
This has also happened in California and New York, two states that pioneered consumer-style disclosures for small businesses, and where APR disclosures will be required. After a longer-than-expected process in each state, state officials could finalize the regulations this year.
At the federal level, Representative Nydia Velázquez, D-New York, and Senator Robert Menendez, D-New Jersey, introduced a bill requiring APR disclosure on small business loans and essentially providing businesses with consumer-type loan protections.
Legislators in Utah and Virginia approved commercial loan disclosure bills this year, though they both did so without requiring APR disclosure.
Utah State Senator Curt Bramble, a Republican who drafted the state law, said lawmakers rejected APR disclosures because they "do not match" transactions such as merchant cash advances, where the timing of revenue-based transactions is unclear.
Utah lawmakers considered the New York and California models, but Bramble said they found "a better mousetrap" that protects against unscrupulous lenders cheating small businesses that don't have a financial expert in their staff.
"We wanted to put in place a structure of transparency to help avoid the potential for malicious actors in our state," said Bramble, whose bill requires affected non-bank commercial lenders to register with the Department of Institutions. financial institutions of Utah.
At a hearing last month, lobbyists from fintech firms LendingClub and Funding Circle called on Utah lawmakers to include APR disclosures in the bill, saying it was essential for companies to make apples to apples comparisons on loans.
"When transparent APRs are not disclosed in the marketplace, small business owners are unable to make comparisons," a LendingClub spokesperson said in a statement. "Too many businesses are paying too much for credit because there is no effective price competition today."
Virginia has also chosen not to require APR disclosures in its law, which specifically targets merchant cash advance companies rather than other nonbank lenders.
State Deputy Kathy Tran, a Democrat, introduced the measure after hearing about confusing loan terms and legal difficulties from Vietnamese American-owned businesses in northern Virginia and a restaurant owned by Americans. Blacks in the Richmond area.
Tran's bill bans 'judgment confessions', which came under intense scrutiny in 2018 investigation from Bloomberg News on predatory commercial cash advance companies, and is taking other steps to curb out-of-state lenders.
In Washington, DC, Senate Banking Committee Chairman Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, and Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida, propose similar measures following the Bloomberg report.
Tran, whose legislation originally proposed to require APR disclosure, said the provision did not have enough support to move forward. But the bill's safeguards for merchant cash advance companies were "important initial protections for small business owners in Virginia that we need now and can't wait."
As for requiring APR in the future, Tran said she hopes the California and New York experiences will "help inform how we move forward in Virginia."
"We didn't have the votes in Virginia this year, but we may in another year," Tran said. "I don't think that door has closed in Virginia."

Thursday, April 3rd 2008, 6:26 pm
I don't remember if it was after the third or the fourth homicide today, but at some point I looked at my photojournalist, John Almendarez, and said "are we working in Oklahoma City or Los Angeles?"
It was a day full of deadly crime for this reporter.
I was still at home getting dressed when the desk called me and said "hey, we got a big one for you today." Being the typical Mr. know-it-all, I said I already knew about the body found at a rescue mission thanks to a text I received on my phone from News9.com.
Nope. It was bigger. I was told there was a second body located near the first one and police were calling it a double homicide.
When we arrived we joined several of our other crews who were already on the scene gathering video and sound bites. I looked over and saw the mangled body still leaning up against a fence. His arm look twisted around his head and his legs looked bent out of shape. It looked as if he was running as fast as he could into the fence and then collapsed.
I never did get a look at the second body. One was enough for me.
About an hour later our desk called me again and notified me of another homicide not too far from that location. An hour later we were told to go to SW 77th to check out another death - a "suspicious" one.
Four possible homicides in one day. Two nights ago a man was shot several times near my apartment complex on NW 122nd. Earlier in the week two people were shot and killed in Midwest City.
I don't think we're in Los Angeles anymore, Toto.

President Barack Obama marks the symbolic date of the end of US combat operations in Iraq on Tuesday, seven years after an invasion he opposed and at a time when the country still seems far from being stabilized.
US President Barack Obama speaks at the White House in Washington, DC.(Photo: AFP)
Speaking from the Oval Office, Obama will address Americans in a nationally televised speech at 8 pm (midnight GMT). Before that he will go to a military base in Texas to meet with soldiers who have recently returned from Iraq.
The size of the US force in Iraq has dropped below a symbolic threshold of 50,000 troops. Starting Monday, their mission will be to "advise and support" the Iraqi army.
Under a timetable set by Obama when he took office, all US troops are supposed to be out by the end of 2011, although officials have said a small residual military presence is likely to remain indefinitely.
Iraqi officials, worried about a surge in attacks and a five-month-old political impasse that has blocked the formation of a new government, have expressed concern that the US military may be moving to the exits too quickly.
Just last week, 53 people were killed and hundreds were wounded by a dozen coordinated car bombings in 10 cities and towns across the country, the latest in a rash of attacks during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
Iraq's top army officer told AFP earlier this month that he feared worsening security problems after the Americans leave, and said they should stay until the Iraqi military is fully ready -- in 2020.
But the White House has insisted that the Iraqis are capable of providing for their own security now, and the top US general said only a "complete failure" of the local security forces could lead to a resumption of US combat operations.
Obama assured Americans in an interview on NBC television Sunday that the timing was right for a drawdown.
"What you've seen is lower and lower levels of violence. The Iraqi security forces are functioning at least as well if not better than any of us had anticipated," Obama said.
Alluding to the Iraqi's failure to form a new government, Obama said the political difficulties were "natural in a fledgling democracy. But we are confident that that will get done."
During his speech, only the second of his presidency to use the solemn setting of the Oval Office, Obama is expected to raise the other major theater of US military operations: Afghanistan, where the president chose to escalate, tripling the number of US troops since the start of his mandate.
Insurgent violence there has intensified as the United States has pivoted from Iraq.
Though a vehement critic of the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, when he was a state legislator in Illinois, Obama argues the war in Afghanistan is justified because the Taliban's Al-Qaeda allies pose a threat to the security of the United States.
The speech will also give Obama an opportunity to pay homage to US soldiers. More than a million have been deployed in Iraq since 2003 and some 4,400 lost their lives there.
He has consistently drawn a distinction between the political decision to invade and the performance of US troops on the ground.

Oral surgery refers to an operation done on your teeth, gums, jaw, as well as the oral and facial structures that surround them. An oral/maxillofacial surgeon specializes in these surgeries after having undergone three to four years of further training following his/her graduation from dental school.
If you or someone in your family needs an oral surgeon/maxillofacial, we at the office of Middle Georgia Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery are dedicated to providing you with the topmost level of expert and empathetic care. Our team will work closely with you to ensure your well-being. You will be in excellent medical hands. We are experts at making all of our patients—from children to adults—feel comfortable and secure during their visits.
Here's a sample of conditions they address.
Orthognathic surgeries
They're choices for patients who have extreme underbites or overbites, difficulty swallowing or chewing, sleep apnea and particular birth defects. While some of these issues can be rectified with braces and other orthodontic appliances, problems that are more serious need surgery to move all or part of the upper jaw, lower jaw or both into a position that's well-positioned, efficient and beneficial.
Impacted wisdom teeth
When they're ready to break through the gum line, they sometimes do so only partially or not at all because the jaw hasn't enough room. The results can be infections of the tissue encircling the teeth as well permanent harm to neighboring bone, gums and teeth. Cysts or tumors occasionally form and ruin parts of the jaw.
Enhancing the fit of dentures
For people who'll be fitted for their first set of dentures, surgery can fix jaw anomalies so the dentures will fit better. And for denture veterans, the bone of the jaws frequently wanes over time, which makes the dentures fit improperly. The surgeon inserts bone grafts where the bone has deteriorated.
Cancer therapy
Oral surgeons can treat the mouth, head, neck, sinuses, throat, larynx and lips. They also work on nerve repair, cleft lips and palates, and injuries and infections of the face.
At the office of Middle Georgia Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, we provide a warm and welcoming experience for each patient. We ensure that everyone who comes to see us feels at ease. When you visit us, you can be confident that you are receiving the finest and most advanced treatment available. Please call us today to schedule an appointment.

ISTANBUL — A growing chorus of international human rights groups are raising concern over the ongoing detention of dozens of Turkish lawyers suspected of fostering links to a terrorist organization through their professional activities.
At least 47 Turkish lawyers were taken into police custody during dawn raids on their Ankara homes on Sept. 11 on allegations they were using their legal practices to support followers of the US-based cleric Fethullah Gulen, which the Turkish government has accused of orchestrating the 2016 coup attempt.
As of Wednesday, all but two of the lawyers under investigation remained in police custody and were undergoing interrogations regarding their contacts with clients and colleagues. Rights advocates said the investigations were targeting lawyers for representing clients accused of terror links, adding the operation threatens suspects' rights to legal defense and broader rule of law norms in Turkey.
"Equating lawyers with the profile of those they are defending is a really, really dangerous path to go down, and it absolutely contravenes the principles of what the role and function of a lawyer is," Emma Sinclair-Webb, Turkey director for Human Rights Watch (HRW), told Al-Monitor.
According to a briefing by the Ankara chief prosecutor's office, about 60 suspects are being investigated in Ankara and seven other provinces for alleged links to the Gulen network, which the Turkish government refers to as the Fethullah Gulen Terror Organization, or FETO. One suspect who was detained and later released told HRW police detained her at 5:30 a.m. Sept. 11 and confiscated electronic devices from her home.
The lawyers who remain in police custody, which can be extended through court orders up to 12 days under Turkish law, are being held in cells with poor air ventilation amid a growing COVID-19 outbreak in Ankara, posing a potential health risk for the suspects, according to an HRW report.
The Ankara Bar Association released a statement Tuesday alleging the lawyers' rights had been violated in the process of their detentions.
"The houses of the suspected lawyers were searched without calling the representatives of the bar association, resulting in a clear violation of the law," the bar association said. "Phones were seized at dozens of addresses without allowing the lawyers to call their lawyers."
The operation comes after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan delivered a speech during an opening ceremony for the judicial year Sept. 1, in which he called for the suspension of lawyers accused of terrorism links.
"We will do what is necessary to cut off the bloody path from attorneyship to terrorism," Erdogan said during the ceremony.
Nate Schenkkan, director for special research at Freedom House, said the latest wave of arrests was a continuation of pressure on the legal profession that has been ongoing since the 2016 coup attempt.
"What is especially disturbing in this wave of arrests is that lawyers are being arrested based on the accusations their clients face. This undermines citizens' rights to defend themselves in court," Schenkkan told Al-Monitor. "It is a continuation of the evisceration of due process that has occurred in Turkey over the last decade."
Earlier this summer, Turkish lawyers led nationwide protests against a bill that would restructure bar associations in the country. The legislation passed July 11, and Schenkkan described the measure as "part of the same picture by which the government seeks to erode one of the last bastions of effective, independent civil society."
The developments also follow the death of a hunger-striking lawyer, Ebru Timtik, in late August. Timtik had been convicted of membership in a terrorist organization and succumbed to a 238-day hunger strike in prison while demanding a fair trial.
Turkish lawyers face ongoing prosecutions as state authorities continue to conduct mass dentations on suspected members of the Gulen movement. On Wednesday, more than 100 people were detained by counterterrorism police across 34 provinces.
Sinclair-Webb warned that if lawyers are subjected to investigations for representing suspects with alleged Gulen movement links, such operations could easily expand to lawyers representing defendants linked to other groups in the country.
"Unless we have strong public outcry on this operation, then we're going to see this happen to lawyers defending Kurdish defendants and lawyers defending leftist defendants who are also tried for terrorism charges," Sinclair-Webb told Al-Monitor.

In the early 1800s, the politician and social reformer William Wilberforce famously spearheaded the move to abolish slavery. His campaign was long and hard fought, beginning in 1787 with the Committee for the Abolition of the Slave Trade and culminating in 1833 when the House of Commons passed the Slavery Abolition Act.
Wilberforce, by this stage, was in poor health and died just three days after seeing his life's work pay off. But he had achieved what he set out to – slavery was effectively wiped out across most of the British Empire.
There are more than 30 million forced labourers around the world today
Now, nearly 200 years later, I can imagine Wilberforce turning in his grave at the thought of all he worked for being undone by the level of modern slavery that still exists in companies' supply chains.
According to the International Labour Organisation, there are more than 30 million forced labourers around the world today, with recent high-profile cases uncovered in almost every industry – from indentured servitude in commercial fishing near New Zealand to child labourers in the cocoa and coffee industries in Latin America and Africa.
Closely analysing suppliers and, potentially even more importantly, where businesses tend to source their components or raw materials can have alarming, eye-opening results.
For example, a construction company might discover it is using iron from China, where the industry is poorly regulated and there is a high probability of forced labour. Or a search for women's shirts in Malaysia may reveal cotton sourced from Mali, another potentially problematic region in terms of labour practices.
As with so many areas of modern life, it feels like we're forgetting the lessons we should have learned from history. To the point that we're in dire need of a 21st century Wilberforce to realign the corporate moral compass on this increasingly pressing issue.
UK leads the fightback
In 2016 the UK enacted the Modern Slavery Act, which dictates that any business with a turnover of £36 million or more is obliged to produce annual slavery and human trafficking statements. This is intended to increase transparency about what companies are doing to tackle modern slavery within their operations.
It's a step in the right direction. But with more than a third of UK businesses still failing to combat modern slavery, according to the latest CIPS survey, and the EU recording the largest increase in slavery of any region worldwide and (according to research by British analytics firm Verisk Maplecroft) with 20 of its 28 states reporting higher levels of slavery than they did in 2016, there is clearly still more work to be done.
Fortunately, there is a willingness to address the situation. I recently sat down with a group of leading CFOs, whose total spending power tallied up to around $2 trillion, and the topic right at the top of their agenda was tackling slavery.
Arguably these leaders with spending power are best placed to step forward and become the new William Wilberforce; and the function best placed to deliver change is procurement.
Beyond just saving money and driving savings, procurement can actually save lives. Collectively, the Global 2000 spend $12 trillion on goods and services annually so by tying their purchases to purposes, these companies can ensure they provide fair labour practices across their supply chain.
If you don't understand your supply chain or know exactly who is involved with every service within it, then there's a very real possibility that you do have forced labour in your chain
An important piece in this puzzle is provenance. If you don't understand your supply chain and know exactly who is involved with every service within it (and who their providers are), then there's a very real possibility that you do have forced labour in your chain.
For example, a company can proudly claim its packaging to be organic. But without knowing how the paper mill in Chile sources materials and understanding its process from top to bottom, can they really know for sure that their products are truly organic? Probably not.
In the past, people have been able to hide behind the 'how could I know?' excuse. But now, thanks to advances in procurement technology, that will no longer fly.
Driving digital business
Just like Amazon and Netflix use the user preference information amassed by their networks to provide ratings and guidance on which books, products, or films we should buy or watch, business networks can provide a whole new level of intelligence and transparency that companies can use to detect and mitigate the risk of forced labour across their supply chains.
Leveraging historical and real-time purchasing data and supplier intelligence that lives on a network, in conjunction with applications for data analysis and insights from Made in a Free World's FRDM® Database, companies can, for instance, pinpoint hot spots of risk and build a customised action plan to mitigate it. And some are reaping the benefits.
How software can remove risk
It's not just socially conscious organisations that have made a demonstrative commitment to ending modern slavery.
Forced labour offends our right to equal opportunities, and we cannot simply turn away and ignore it. But although the UK's stance to stand up against it is a good start, more must be done
It's positive that outlier organisations are making a difference to modern slavery. Put simply, forced labour offends our right to equal opportunities, and we cannot simply turn away and ignore it. But although the UK's stance to stand up against it is a good start, more must be done.
Now is the time for a coalition of well-intentioned and influential businesses to come together and become a modern-day Wilberforce that can stamp slavery out for good.
With that in mind, my question to any business leader reading this is 'what are you doing to eradicate forced labour in your supply chain?' If the answer is 'nothing', then it's high time you gave a thought to the people affected by your supply chain, as well as the profits derived from it.

Ahhh what a glorious day! I hope you're all as happy as me 🙂 If not, get boosting 😉 My Saturday is the usual- body pump and step class and now work where I've been busy studying!
I haven't got much of a central topic to discuss today but instead I've got a million different things going through my head- so I thought I'd ramble and share them all with you. Aren't you luck you get to
listen to read this rubbish finely written and interesting posts? 😉
- Online shopping is a terrible yet fantastic thing. Lorna Jane has a 20% off sale- I had to share because I couldn't keep it all to myself! If you haven't grabbed some bargains yet then I give you permission to pause reading, shop and then continue on reading. Click here for some hot gymwear bargains! Check out what I've grabbed myself- yes this was after telling myself yesterday that I need to stop spending money (evidence that don't language does the complete opposite!)- two more bottoms. Both of them pink! Can't help myself okay 😉
Ahhh too much cuteness.
- It's a happy sad moment reaching the end of your nut butter jars. It means you get to polish that baby clean, and almond butter is so good when it's that doughy texture (I think from lack of oil). But it also means no more nut butter! Lucky tomorrow is grocery day 😉
- I've finally gotten round to painting my toenails! And I plan to do my fingernails later today with the new colour I got thanks to the awesome deals at Chemist Warehouse.
I was actually debating putting this up since I have the nastiest looking feet known to man… and this is the good part.
I love Rimmel London nail polishes because they are quick drying, affordable, have an awesome colour range and the application brushes are wide and easy to use. It's actually the only nailpolish I've bought in the last year (atleast!)
- I'm so excited to be getting the new IPhone 5 on Monday. I've been able to upgrade for a while but didn't bother because I had the IPhone 4 and wasn't overly interested in the 4S. I decided to go with white this time and can't wait! I think I'll sell my 4 and use the money for..
- …My AIM 1 training for Body Step. AIM stands for advanced instructor module and is a one day training session that focuses on technique and coaching key elements. You all know how crazy I am about Body Step, so I'd love to have the opportunity to grow and develop as an instructor.
- I really want to dye my hair a different colour. I'm a natural redhead (though orangehead would be more appropriate) and for the past 4 or so years I've dyed it a very dark brown to the point where the colour has built up and it's almost black. I've just simply had enough and feel like a change. I'd like to go a light/medium brown or dark auburn type colour. I'm thinking something like this.
What do you think?
- I'm loving my beautiful little Dotti and her naughty little ways. We go through these beds (they go inside their kennel at night) very frequently and have actually started to take it from them during the day so she doesn't rip it to shreds. Haha, she didn't learn her lesson though- getting stuck in it once doesn't deter Dotti 😉
Not quick enough!
Well what a very 'all over the shop' type post. But it was a bit of fun wasn't it?
DAILY HEALTHY THOUGHT: Being nice to yourself makes it easier to be nice to others.
Is there a random rambling you'd like to share? Are you hopping on the Iphone 5 train too? Do you online shop? What's your daily thought?
Yup lots of different topics means plenty of questions- gotta try and get you guys chatting some time soon 😉

Charleston, WV – The West Virginia Emergency Management Division (WVEMD) hosted a workshop at the West Virginia Conference Center in South Charleston for state and local agencies to head off disasters or, as one presenter said, solve problems before they become problems.
Specialists from FEMA Region 3 engaged with state and local officials on how to create plans to reduce or eliminate the impacts of emergencies caused by hazards such as floods, landslides, fires and cyberattacks.
The workshop offered guidance, strategies and resources to help agencies prepare to update state and regional hazard mitigation plans for 2023.
In addition to staff from state Emergency Management and the West Virginia FEMA Integration Team (WVFIT), participants included members of the state Department of Environmental Protection, the Division of Forestry, the State Resiliency Office, regional Planning and Development Councils, state Floodplain Managers, West Virginia University GIS Technical Center, the National Flood Insurance Program, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
James Young, Disaster Field Coordinator for the WVFIT said, "It was encouraging to see so many local, state and federal partners come together to discuss mitigation planning."
"This collaborative effort will help to identify priority mitigation projects that can reduce future risk and improve resiliency in the state," he said.
The presence of so many stakeholders is a crucial element of the planning process as it allows for exchanging ideas and establishing the State's vision and priorities for mitigating disaster risk moving forward.
"Making a plan without the right tools is like making spaghetti without a pot," said WVEMD Planner and Hazard Mitigation Officer Tim Keaton. "You have to get the right people at the table."

The world is suffering from a pandemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19), with a mortality rate of up to 4%.1 COVID-19 infection is seen at disproportionately high levels among healthcare workers.
Current UK guidance regarding the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) for COVID-19 was updated in April 2020.2 For close contact (<2 metres), the recommended respiratory protection remains a fluid-resistant surgical face mask. However, for areas at higher risk of aerosols, or during aerosol generating procedures, the use of filtering face piece (FFP) mask is advised. These high-risk settings are defined as resuscitation areas within the emergency department and hospital areas using invasive or non-invasive ventilation. Notably, wards caring for non-ventilated COVID-19 positive patients are excluded, as are community care settings and ambulances, where contact with infectious cases is likely. Importantly, there have been no studies comparing the efficacy of surgical masks versus FFP masks for preventing COVID-19 transmission. Instead, the guidance on which mask to use appears to be based on a recent meta-analysis published in March 2020.3
We believe that there are substantial flaws in this meta-analysis. All five of the included trials investigated the efficacy of different masks against seasonal respiratory viruses, not COVID-19. Extrapolating results from these pathogens to one that appears to be very easily transmitted, perhaps not only via droplet spread,4 may not be justified. The trials also compared different interventions; some investigated targeted use, and others continuous use, of masks. The quality of studies in the meta-analysis was low to very low, and no studies were blinded, which can introduce bias.
Furthermore, we have concerns about the interpretation of the results. Although there was no statistically significant benefit seen for FFP masks protecting against transmission of respiratory viruses (RR 0.89, 95% CI 0.70 to 1.11), there could still be anywhere between a 30% benefit and 11% harm. Given the absence of high-quality studies and uncertainty about the mode of transmission, a cautious approach would seem more appropriate. This was the case in the guidance for PPE against Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) published in September 2016.5 Here, recommendations were for the routine use of an FFP mask for all persons entering a room with a suspected case of the virus. There do not appear to have been any further studies published since this guidance, so we assume that the COVID-19 recommendations are based on the same evidence.
Over the coming weeks it is increasingly likely that most hospital admissions will be related to COVID-19. FFP masks are in short supply, but does this justify adopting a stance that may risk the health and well-being of the workforce? There has never been a time in recent memory when it is more important to maintain a healthy workforce. If healthcare staff become infected with this virus, this risks their own health, depletes the number available to combat the disease and increases the likelihood of infecting people admitted to hospital for other reasons.

A commitment to ritual is at the centre of Kadar Brock's practice. Often working on multiple canvases at once, Brock creates dynamic, vibrant abstractions that are born from an arduous process of painting, scraping, priming, sanding, and painting again. It is a repeated action of creation and erasure, one that layers multiple compositions atop one another and embodies the physical, psychological, and pictorial records of their making.
Retaining a commitment to his established process, Brock layers paintings about personal memory, family history, and iconographies of New Age religion, alongside representations of masculinities found in the characters of American and Japanese comic books and film.
For Brock, it is important that each layer of the work is rendered completely, paying homage to the imagery it considers before it is deconstructed. The original image functions as a symbolic entity, only at times peeking through the final surface of the work by way of colour, shape, or shadow. In this sense, each painting is a memorial, full of ghostly referents. Yet, this assemblage is also an act of release, fusing multiple signifiers into one renewed object. The physical and emotional process of creation, often taking place over many years, enables a reverse archaeology of the self and renders a delicate balance between body, memory, and psychology. The titles of the work name the layers underneath, encouraging the viewer to take a slower, closer look.
Kadar Brock (b. 1980) is a graduate of the Cooper Union School of Art. He has exhibited internationally, with solo shows at Vigo Gallery, London; Patron Gallery, Chicago; Gallery Diet, Miami; Thierry Goldberg, NYC; Almine Rech, Brussels and the Hole, NYC as well as group shows at Praz-Delavallade, Paris; Brand New Gallery, Milan; Saamlung, Hong Kong; Horton Gallery, Berlin; and Sperone Westwater, NYC.

United States Women's National Team (USWNT) head coach Vlatko Andonovski announced his picks for the June Summer Series camp. This will be the last camp before the 18-player squad is chosen for Tokyo this summer. During camp, the USWNT will play three friendlies, facing Portugal, Jamaica and Nigeria.
The roster consists of the following: for keepers, Jane Campbell '17, Adrianna Franch and Alyssa Naeher; for defenders, Alana Cook '19, Abby Dahlkemper, Tierna Davidson '20, Crystal Dunn, Kelley O'Hara '10, Margaret Purce, Becky Sauerbrunn and Emily Sonnet; for midfielders, Lindsey Horan, Rose Lavelle, Catarina Macario '21, Kristie Mewis, Samantha Mewis and Andi Sullivan '18; for forwards, Carli Lloyd, Alex Morgan, Christen Press '11, Megan Rapinoe, Sophia Smith '22 and Lynn Williams.
Forward Tobin Heath will also be joining the team as a training player as she works her way back from a knee injury. Julie Ertz has been ruled out due to an MCL injury.
The keeper situation
To much fan surprise, decade-long back-up keeper Ashlyn Harris was left off the final camp roster. Harris, who currently plays for the Orlando Pride, had an incredible Challenge Cup, full of performances that many believed would win her the number two spot. This new roster, however, makes it clear that in Andonovski's eyes, she is nearly out of the picture.
This does, however, open the field more to Campbell, the former Cardinal keeper. It is assumed that Andonovski will start longtime starter Naeher for the Olympics, but Campbell may now have a shot at number two. The 18-player roster will likely feature two keepers total with a third keeper traveling as an alternate. If Naeher, Campbell and Franch are the only three Andonovski plans to consider, Campbell is guaranteed a trip to Tokyo, even as just an alternate.
To make the top two, Campbell will need to outplay 2019 Women's World Cup champion Franch, an experienced keeper who has played and traveled with the team during high stake tournaments already. Depending on the philosophy of Andonovski, he may opt to bring the more experienced keeper as the number two, leaving Campbell as an alternate. However, if Campbell can get minutes during the Summer Series, she may be able to work for a spot amongst the 18.
Strong in the back
The USWNT is undeniably strong with their backline. Andonovski will most likely not need to think hard about who the starting four would be with Dunn, Sauerbrunn, Dahlkemper and O'Hara. The question will be, who does he bring to supplement these starters?
Davidson has been a frequent favorite and is praised to become the next Sauerbrunn, when she ultimately chooses to retire. Davidson is experienced internationally and currently plays for the Chicago Red Stars with starting keeper Naeher. She was also tapped to start against Sweden in the last series of USWNT friendlies.
Another option for Andonovski is high-performing Cook, who is currently playing abroad with PSG. This past season, Cook has helped bring PSG to the top of the French table, currently beating longtime European champions Lyon. The defender has experience playing against varying styles of soccer abroad and may bring some European influence into the squad.
The other two options would be Sonnet, a 2019 WWC champion and experienced international player, and Purce, a rising star in the NWSL. If both Davidson and Cook want to make the roster, they will need to beat out one, if not both, of Sonnet and Purce.
Packed in the middle
The midfield is nothing short of extraordinary, with almost guaranteed starters Lavelle, S. Mewis and Horan. Ertz is still a huge unknown, as she is out with an MCL injury and most are unsure if she will be back to action.
Vying for one of the final spots is recent Stanford star Macario. The midfielder is already making her mark on Lyon, scoring in her last five games and becoming a consistent starter. The young superstar is not letting herself go unnoticed by Andonovski, and she seems to be peaking at just the right time. Depending on the condition of Ertz, and the total number of forwards that Andonovski brings, Macario could find herself easily within the 18. If Ertz, however, is back to fitness and the team opts to bring more forwards, Maracio will have to beat out another player with undeniable skill, K. Mewis.
Mewis has made an incredible comeback to the national team in the last year, showing off her killer left foot. If the numbers fall in their favor, Andonovski could choose to bring both Macario and Mewis, creating the most stacked midfield in the game.
Sullivan is another contender for the position with a deep history of being in and out of favor with the team. Again, the situation with Ertz and the number of midfielders ultimately chosen will determine her fate. Sullivan is likely however to gain a spot as an alternate if Ertz is indeed out.
Messy up top
The USWNT forward pool is arguably the most talented in the world. With players like Lloyd and Rapinoe, the forward pool is nothing but the world's best, and Smith is up there with them.
After her performance against the Chicago Red Stars, where Smith scored two goals and forced an own goal, she undeniably deserves the call up. Smith seems to have the hot foot at the moment, scoring for Portland and leading the front line. She also has lots of experience playing with and against most of the players on the roster. The chemistry between Horan and Smith, if given the chance to be shown on the national level, may just earn Smith a spot.
On the other hand, her chance at the 18 will be heavily determined by the status of Heath, who is coming back from a knee injury. If Heath is ready for Olympic action, both Smith and Williams will have a hard time making the cut.
Press, however, is almost a guarantee. After a successful season with Manchester United, and frequent starts in the last few camps, it would be a shocker not to find her immediately within the 18 and likely in the starting 11.
It all comes down to performance, and numbers
All players will have a mere three matches and a single camp to prove themselves to Andonovski as he is set to announce the 18-player roster and four alternates closely after the conclusion of the Summer Series. There's no telling what could happen between now and then, but with eight Cardinal on the camp roster, we can be nearly sure there will be some Stanford representation on the USWNT for the Olympics.

Case for Change
In 1989, wine and mead became available for sale from grocery stores and supermarkets. This was followed in 1999 with beer. The sale of spirits is not permitted.
The introduction of wine sales into New Zealand supermarkets increased the affordability and consumption of wine markedly. New Zealanders are now drinking twice as much wine as they used to.
There are two major supermarket chains in New Zealand: Progressive Enterprises and Foodstuffs.
Alcohol is the biggest selling caterory in the supermarket. Many New Zealanders buy their alcohol from supermarkets.
On average, the same alcohol product is sold more cheaply from supermarkets than bottle stores.
The number of supermarkets and grocery stores in New Zealand communities has been linked with a range of alcohol-related harms: antisocial behaviour, dishonesty offences, property abuses, property damage, sexual offences and violent offences.
The placement of alcohol in everyday settings, next to commonly purchased products, may normalise alcohol use in our society. Especially among children. New Zealand children are regularly exposed to alcohol in supermarkets.
Tobacco can't be displayed in supermarkets, but alcohol can. Yet alcohol is the most harmful drug in our society.

New Zealand laws on alcohol promotions (including discounting)
New Zealand law restricts the promotion and/or advertising of alcohol that:
- encourages excessive consumption
- advertises or promotes discounts of 25% or more
This means that it is only against the law to advertise and promote a discount - it is not against the law to have a discount of 25% or more.
This law applies to anyone undertaking a business including on-licences, off-licences, club licences and special licences and to any promotions run by a person or company which is not licensed.
Section 237 of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act is called Irresponsible promotion of alcohol. This section prohibits:
- Any person that encourages people, or is likely to encourage people, to consume alcohol to an excessive extent, whether on licensed premises or at any other place
- Any person to promote or advertise a discounted alcohol product that leads people to believe the price is 25% or more below the normal price of the product (other than in a licensed premises or in an off-licence catalogue)
- On-licensed premises to promote or advertise discounted alcohol that leads people to believe the price is 25% or more below the normal price of the product AND can be seen or heard from outside the premises
- Promotions or advertisements of alcohol that is free of charge (does not include free sampling)
- Offers goods and services or the opportunity to win a prize on the condition that alcohol is bought
- Promotions which are in a manner aimed at, or that has, or is likely to have, special appeal to minors
Although off-licence catalogues are excluded from the section, other media is included – such as billboards, window displays, etc.
Examples of acceptable and unacceptable promotions at on-licences and off-licences have been developed by the Health Promotion Agency.
The Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 also includes restrictions on where supermarket and groceries stores can display and promote alcohol. This is now confined to a "single area" within the store. Promotions must not be seen or heard outside of this area or from outside of the store. For more information on single areas in supermarkets, please click here.
Promotion of discounted alcohol beverages
Of all supermarket products, alcohol is the most sensitive to price promotion
Discounting is a common strategy used to encourage alcohol sales, particularly within off-licences but also in bars and restaurants through the use of 'happy hours' etc.
In New Zealand, the majority (55%) of drinkers purchased their alcohol when sold on promotion (cited in the 2014 Ministry of Justice Report).
Supermarkets are more reliant on promotions to drive sales when compared to specialist liquor stores (e.g. bottle stores). In supermarkets, almost 6 in every 10 dollars spent on all items (including alcohol and groceries) in 2018 were sold on promotion, compared to 2 in every 10 dollars spent in liquor stores. In the year ending March 31 2018, 71% and 70% of dollars spent in supermarkets on beer and wine sales respectively, were for products on promotion. This compares to 23% and 31% in liquor stores.
Off all items in supermarkets, sales of alcohol have been shown to be the most sensitive to price promotion, particularly cask wine and beer followed by bottled wine. Simply put, shoppers are very responsive to discounted alcohol. Compared to alcohol sold in supermarkets, individual grocery items (e.g. coffee, toilet paper, confectionery) are less sensitive to promotion in price.
Price-based promotions are the key types of promotion activities for alcohol products
A study of 24 off-licences in Perth and Sydney found that there were 427 unique forms of promotion used across the alcohol outlets. The study found:
- Price-based promotions (including but not limited to discounts) represented 61% of all the types of promotion activities;
- Supermarkets had a higher number of price promotions compared to liquor chain stores;
- The most common form of price promotion was offering multiple items for a discounted price; and
- Wine had the highest number of price promotions, followed by spirits, beer and RTDs.
Effects of price promotions of alcohol in point-of-sale
A US study found that alcohol products in larger-volume packages (e.g., 12-pack) were more likely to be promoted than smaller packages (e.g., 6-pack). This finding has significant implications for reducing the harm from heavy episodic drinking.
An Australian study found that drinkers who participated in point-of-sale promotions report purchasing a greater quantity of alcohol than those who did not participate. This is particularly evident for beer purchases (average of 26.8 standard drinks vs 16.4), followed by RTDs (11.5 standard drinks vs 8.9) and wine (16.1 standard drinks vs. 13.8). Young drinkers were found to use descriptors such as 'Price' and 'Cheap' as the main reason that they purchased wine.
Another study also found that young people are very aware of in-store sale promotions in order to maximise their alcohol purchases within their budgets. Cheap alcohol may also facilitate social get-togethers, that would not have occurred otherwise.
NZ laws on the discounting of alcohol
New Zealand law stipulates that any person commits an offence if they advertise discounts of 25% or more, where the advertisement can be seen or heard from outside of a licensed premise. Discounts of 25% of more are permitted inside a licensed premise or in an off-licence price catalogue. It is important to note that it is only the advertising, not the offer of the discount, that is prohibited. In other words, heavy discounting activities (e.g., 60% discounts) inside supermarkets (and other premises) continue to be seen in New Zealand, especially during the Christmas and New Year holiday period.
Note that it is illegal to offer free alcohol. Read more in the next section - GET PREPARED

The price of alcohol
- Cheap and discounted alcohol increases the demand for alcohol and encourages heavier drinking.
- The introduction of alcohol (beer, wine and mead) into supermarkets (wine in 1989 and beer in 1999) had a considerable impact on lowering the price of alcohol. The price of any particular beer or wine is generally found to be cheaper in supermarkets than bottle stores.
- The introduction of ready-to-drinks (RTDs or alcopops) also had a considerable impact on drinking, particularly on young people. They are relatively cheap and attractive to young people.
- Increasing the retail price of alcohol is one of the most effective strategies to reduce accessibility and alcohol-related harm. It can be achieved in a number of ways including; increasing excise tax, introducing Minimum Unit Pricing, restricting the promotion of discounted alcohol.
Case for Change
The low price of alcohol is a key driver of our drinking culture. Cheap alcohol fuels heavy drinking.
In 2017, alcohol was found to be more affordable than ever before. Wine has particularly become more affordable. This means that it now takes us less time to earn enough money to buy a standard drink.
In New Zealand, off-licences are now selling approximately 75% of all alcohol. Supermarkets are big players in the retail market.
High liquor outlet density in a community may lead to competition, which drives prices down.
Increasing the price of alcohol is one of the strongest tools in our kete / basket to reduce harm. A large body of high-quality research suggests that a 10% increase in price reduces overall alcohol consumption by 5%. In fact, it is the most important strategy to reduce inequities in alcohol harm.
Case for Change
Restricting alcohol advertisng and sponsorship is one of three 'best buys' evidence-based measures to reduce alcohol harm endorsed by the World Health Organisation. There is strong public support for restricting alcohol advertising and sponsorship in New Zealand in the same way as is tobacco advertising and sponsorship is restricted. Product labelling is important for branding and marketing of alcoholic beverages, but also provides a key platform for including information about risks associated with drinking, particularly the risks of drinking during pregnancy. Research shows graphic pictorial health warnings are more effective than text warnings.

New 'Melrose Place' Produced With Sony HD Cameras
The new version of the television series "Melrose Place" is being produced with the assistance of Sony high-definition video cameras.
The company's F35 models are being used as the main cameras in the production, with the PMW-EX3 camcorder handling scenes that need a more compact and mobile capture tool.
As with the original series, exciting visuals and scenery are foremost, but the director of photography, Chris Faloona, advises that the new production "is not your parent's 'Melrose Place.'"
"It's definitely a different-looking show, and people are going to be pleasantly surprised at the stylistic direction we've taken," Faloona said. "It's very colorful, yet very dramatically lit. The look is moody with a lot of contrast. It's not a flat, brightly lit show at all. But we still try to show off iconic Los Angeles with all the colors and beautiful people. Both cameras help us do this really well."
Show plans call for the PMW-EX3 to also appear on-camera, as used by one of the show's leading characters Jonah Miller, an aspiring filmmaker, played by Michael Rady.
"There's even dialogue in the pilot where Jonah is talking to a producer about using the new EX3," said executive producer/director Greg Beeman.
According to the script, the camera will actually be used by Rady, with footage being intercut with that of the F35s.
The new "Melrose Place" premiered Sept. 8 on the CW television network.
