In 2012, she was listed by Time as one of the 100 most influential people in the world.[4]
After graduating from the Juilliard School in 1993, Davis began her career on stage and won an Obie Award in 1999 for her performance as Ruby McCollum in Everybody's Ruby. In 2008, her performance as Mrs. Miller in the film Doubt earned her several nominations, including the Golden Globe, SAG Award, and the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. For her lead role as Aibileen Clark in the film The Help (2011), she received nominations for the Golden Globe, BAFTA, and the Academy Award for Best Actress. She also won a SAG Award.[5][6] Her other films include Far from Heaven (2002), Antwone Fisher (2003), Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (2011), The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby (2013), Get on Up (2014) and the upcoming Suicide Squad (2016).

Davis was born in St. Matthews, South Carolina, at her grandparents' house on the Singleton Plantation, as were her five siblings.[7] The daughter of Mary Alice and Dan Davis,[7] she is the second youngest of six children.[8] Her father was a horse trainer and her mother was a maid, factory worker, and homemaker,[9][10][11] as well as a civil rights activist.[12] Her family moved to Central Falls, Rhode Island, with two-month-old Viola and two of her sisters, leaving her older sister and brother with the grandparents.[7] Davis has described herself as having "lived in abject poverty and dysfunction" during her childhood.[13]
Davis partially credits her love of stage acting with her involvement in the arts at her alma mater, Central Falls High School.[14] Davis majored in theatre at Rhode Island College, graduating in 1988; in 2002 she received an honorary doctorate in Fine Arts from the college.[15] She was involved in the federal TRIO Upward Bound and TRIO Student Support Services programs.[16] While Davis was a teenager, her talent was recognized by Bernard Masterson when she entered the program at the Young People's School for the Performing Arts in West Warwick, Rhode Island while he was the director.[17]
She also attended the Juilliard School for four years,[10] as a member of the Drama Division's Group 22 (1989–1993).[18]
Viola Davis received her Screen Actors Guild card in 1996 for doing one day of work as a nurse who passes a vial of blood to Timothy Hutton in the film The Substance of Fire. She was paid $528.[19]
In 2001, she won the Tony Award and a Drama Desk Award for her portrayal of Tonya in King Hedley II, a "35-year-old mother fighting eloquently for the right to abort a pregnancy."[20] She has also won another Drama Desk Award for her work in a 2004 off-Broadway production of Intimate Apparel by Lynn Nottage.
Davis appeared in numerous films, including three films directed by Ocean's Eleven.[21] She also gave brief performances in the films Kate & Leopold and Antwone Fisher. Her television work includes a recurring role in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, starring roles in two short-lived series, Traveler and Century City, and a special guest appearance in a Law & Order: Criminal Intent episode entitled "Badge".
In 2008, Davis played Mrs. Miller in the film adaptation to the Broadway play Doubt, with Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Amy Adams. Though Davis had only one scene in the film,[22] she was nominated for several awards for her performance, including a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.[23]
On June 30, 2009, Davis was inducted into The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.[24] On June 13, 2010, Davis won her second Tony Award for her role as Rose Maxson in a revival of August Wilson's Fences.[25] She is the second African-American woman to win the award, after Phylicia Rashād.
Davis played the role of Dr. Minerva in It's Kind of a Funny Story (2010), a coming-of-age film written and directed by Anna Boden with Ryan Fleck, adapted from the 2006 novel by Ned Vizzini.[26] In August 2011, Davis played the role of Aibileen Clark in the screen adaptation of Kathryn Stockett's novel The Help, directed by Tate Taylor. For her performance, Davis garnered great critical acclaim, and eventually received two Screen Actors Guild Awards, as well as her second Academy Award nomination,[27] which she ultimately lost to Meryl Streep. She also received Golden Globe Award and BAFTA nominations for the same performance.
In 2012, Time magazine listed Davis as one of the most influential people in the world.[28] Also in 2012, Glamour magazine named Davis Glamour's Film Actress of the year.[29] On June 12, 2012, Davis was presented with the Women in Film's Crystal Award by her friend and Oscar rival that year Meryl Streep.[30] On June 25, 2012, The Walk of Fame Committee of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce announced that Davis was part of the new group of entertainment professionals who have been selected to receive stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2013.[31]
Davis reunited with The Help director Tate Taylor in Get on Up, a biopic of James Brown, playing Brown's mother.[32] Her daughter Genesis also appeared in the movie.[33]
In February 2014, Davis was cast in Peter Nowalk's pilot How to Get Away with Murder (executive produced by Shonda Rhimes for her ShondaLand production company) as the lead character.[34] It began as a series in September 2014.[35] On September 20, 2015, she became the first African-American to win an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series.[36][37][38][39]
Davis appeared in Blackhat (2015), a Michael Mann-directed thriller film starring Chris Hemsworth.[40] In December 2014, it was announced that Viola Davis was cast as Amanda Waller in the 2016 DC Comics movie Suicide Squad.[41] In March 2015, she began filming Custody, in addition to serving as one of the executive producers.[42]
Davis married actor Julius Tennon in June 2003.[43] They have a daughter, Genesis, whom they adopted as a newborn in October 2011. Davis is stepmother to Tennon's two sons from previous relationships.[44]

Q: setting a table component to display using the entire viewport heigth I tried using height: 100vh and minHeight:"100vh" respectively in my component and it doesn't work. It still displays the entire table. I have a max of rows that can be displayed but I want the table to avoid causing a page scrollbar by making the table body the only one that scrolls.
I can achieve this by setting up a definite height and hidden overflow but the definite height is a problem. Not everyone's viewport is the same size and while it is perfect for a few it is either too small for some or too long for others. So, I want this table to read the window height and use that to define when the hidden overflow should start scrolling.
I did find this in jQuery
$(document).ready(function() {
    function setHeight() {
       windowHeight = $(window).innerHeight();
       $('.sidebar').css('min-height', windowHeight);
    };
    setHeight();

    $(window).resize(function() {
       setHeight();
    });
});

Problem is, this doesn't seem to work for my table.
I'm adding a codepen that has a playground for this.
EDIT: For the sake of clarification, here is a visual of my problem

sidenote: This is actually going to be in a React app, so after it works, I'll still need to get it in ReactJS, but I figured, getting it to work in jQuery will probably be quicker and easier. But if you do happen to have a solution in React, please share.

$(document).ready(function() {
  function setHeight() {
    windowHeight = $(window).innerHeight();
    $('.dynamicHeight').css('min-height', windowHeight);
  };
  setHeight();

  $(window).resize(function() {
    setHeight();
  });
});

// If you don't care about changing the height when the window resizes then you can use the following simplified version instead:

// $(document).ready(function() {
//   windowHeight = $(window).innerHeight();
//   $('.sidebar').css('min-height', windowHeight);
// });
body {
  background-color: #ddd;
  font-size: 1.5em;
  font-family: Georgia, serif;
}

.sidebar {
  -moz-box-sizing: border-box;
  -webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
  box-sizing: border-box;
  float: left;
  width: 33%;
  padding: 2em;
  background-color: #f8ca00;
}
.dynamicHeight{
 overflow-x:hidden;
 height:100%;

A: I set the height of the .sidebar instead of the .dynamicHeight.  I also changed min-height to height, as min-height will let the height expand past the window if the content is long.  Also, the innerHeight returns just a number, you need to add px to it.  Some overflow-y:auto was used on the .sidebar
Javascript
$(document).ready(function() {

UK government sets out 5G tech diversification strategy
As expected, the UK government has laid out how it will mandate the UK's telecoms operators to uninstall essential technology from so-called high-risk vendors such as Huawei from their 5G infrastructures, and has revealed the new partners and strategy for how it will try to diversify the country's telecoms supply chain and ensure its future resilience.
In the second parliamentary reading of the Telecommunications (Security) Bill, the UK's digital secretary, Oliver Dowden, has decreed that operators must stop installing any Huawei equipment in 5G networks from the end of September 2021.
First introduced on 24 November, the bill will give the UK government unprecedented new powers to, in its words, boost the security standards of the UK's telecoms networks and remove the threat of high-risk suppliers, principally Huawei. It also sets out to strengthen the security framework for technology used in 5G and full-fibre networks, including the electronic equipment and software at phone mast sites and in telephone exchanges which handle internet traffic and telephone calls.
The background of the new legislation is the decision in July 2020 by the UK government to commit to a timetable for the removal of Huawei equipment from the country's growing 5G communications infrastructure by 2027 – effectively a huge U-turn to the decision it only took in January 2020 to restrict Huawei's presence to just the radio access network element of 5G setups.
The UK government said it would be making it illegal for UK telcos to purchase Huawei 5G network equipment from the end of 2020. Yet, as soon as it made its decision, the UK government conceded there would be a price to pay, calculated by the UK's mobile operators to be running into the billions.
The call was made after the UK's National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) reviewed the consequences of the decision by the US on 15 May to extend its restrictions on the sale of hardware and software to so-called "high-risk" suppliers such as Huawei, leading to Huawei being unable to purchase equipment from longstanding suppliers.
The NCSC noted that such a move created uncertainly around the Huawei supply chain, and that the UK could no longer be confident that it would be able to guarantee the security of future Huawei 5G equipment.
New powers
The new bill also provides the government with new powers to issue directions to public telecoms providers regarding this decision to manage the potential of high-risk suppliers.
While so-called high-risk suppliers are already banned from the most sensitive "core" parts of the network, the bill will allow the government to impose further controls on telecoms providers' use of goods, services or facilities supplied by such suppliers.
Indeed, companies deemed to have fallen short of the new duties, or following directions on the use of high-risk suppliers, could face heavy fines of up to 10% of turnover or, in the case of a continuing contravention, £100,000 per day. Ofcom will be given the duty of monitoring and assessing the security of telecoms providers.
As it made the second reading, the UK government said that the September 2021 deadline was an important milestone in the path mobile operators must take to get to zero Huawei in 5G networks. The new measures relating to Huawei are intended for UK MPs to scrutinise how ministers may use the Bill's powers to restrict the use of Huawei's goods, services and facilities in 5G networks.
In addition, it claimed that its new 5G supply chain diversification strategy would mark out the key steps in its approach to building what it called a resilient, open and sustainable supply chain, tackling the issues of over-reliance on a small number of technology vendors and pave the way for better connectivity. This would help mitigate the resilience risks to 5G networks ahead of the 2027 deadline.
It will see the government spend an initial £250m to kick off work to create a more diverse, competitive, and hopefully innovative supply market for telecoms.
The strategy sets out a number of targeted measures the government will be taking forward and revolves around three key pillars: supporting incumbent suppliers, which will continue to be a major part of the UK market and help the UK meet its ambitious digital infrastructure plans; attracting new suppliers into the UK market; and accelerating open-interface and interoperable technologies such as Open RAN.
The government has announced that it will establish a National Telecoms Lab. This comprises a secure research facility that will bring together operators, existing and new suppliers, academia and the government to create representative networks in which to research and test new ways of increasing security and interoperability.
It also includes funding a new Open RAN trial with Japanese telecoms vendor NEC. The NEC NeutrORAN project will be based in Wales and will aim to see live 5G Open RAN within the UK in 2021, testing solutions to deploy 5G networks in the most cost effective, innovative and secure way.
The Government will also fund the SmartRAN Open Network Innovation Centre (SONIC). Partnering with Ofcom and Digital Catapult, this will be an industry-facing testing facility to foster Open RAN in the UK helping to develop a supply chain with multiple suppliers at every stage.

Man thrashes minor girl for asking him not to make noise
Latest News UpdateNational
Mumbai: A man allegedly thrashed a 16-year-old girl so hard that the minor girl fainted at the spot with a fractured nose in Kurla-Nehrunagar here while locals remained as mute spectators.
The incident which took place on Tuesday was captured on a CCTV camera. The video shows the man Imran Shahid Shaikh attacking the girl brutally which later on went viral on the social media.
The accused was arrested on the day of the incident, but was later granted bail by a local court, the police said.
According to a police official, the incident took place on October 17 near SRA Building in Shramjeevi Nagar at 7 pm when the girl was going to her class with a friend at Adarsh Nagar in Thakkar Bappa Colony in Chembur.
"When she was near the building, she saw a group of youths, seated inside a parked auto rickshaw, arguing loudly. The girl asked them not to make noise and then walked some distance with her friend," the official said.
However, enraged at being rebuked by her, Shaikh came out of the auto rickshaw and thrashed her repeatedly, he said.
"Shaikh hit her on the nose with a metal object, after which she collapsed on the ground, with her nose bleeding profusely," the official said, adding Shaikh then threatened her and fled from the spot.
"The people, who witnessed the incident, did not stop Imran from beating her," he said.
The girl was taken to a hospital, where she was found to have suffered a nose fracture, the official said.
On the basis of her complaint, Nehrunagar Police registered a case against Shaikh for voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons or means and criminal intimidation.
Shaikh was arrested on the day of the incident. He was produced in a local court, which granted him bail.

007, 1980's, Desmond Llewelyn, James Bond, John Glen, Kabir Bedi, Kristina Wayborn, Lois Maxwell, Louis Jourdan, Maud Adams, Octopussy, Robert Brown, Roger Moore, Spy, Steven Berkoff, Vijay Amritraj, Walter Gotell
Roger Moore as James Bond
Maud Adams as Octopussy
Louis Jourdan as Kamal Khan
Kristina Wayborn as Magda
Kabir Bedi as Gobinda
Steven Berkoff as General Orlov
Vijay Amritraj as Vijay
Robert Brown as M
Desmond Llewelyn as Q
Walter Gotell as General Gogol
Lois Maxwell as Moneypenny
It may be something of a conundrum within the Bond community on the opinions of Octopussy, some see it as an effective spy yarn, others see it as too outrageous and too confusing. But for me, I fall into the former category and consider Octopussy a really excellent entry into the series, full of exotic locales and interesting characters. It may be a little convoluted and silly at times, but there is more than enough enjoyment to be had with Octopussy.
When British agent 009 turns up dead at the British Embassy in Berlin, dressed as a clown and clutching a fake Fabergé egg, MI6 begin to investigate. Bond is assigned with finding the seller of the fake egg and comes across Kamal Khan, an exiled Afghan prince who bids for the real egg at auction. Following him to India, Bond investigates Khan and his association with Russian General Orlov, with the help of fellow agent Vijay. Khan and Orlov have been forging valuable jewels and replacing them with replicas, allowing them to smuggle them into various countries. Orlov is power-crazed and wants the Soviet Union to take back more control over the West, which alarms KGB chief and sometimes helper to the British General Gogol. Collaborating with the two in the diamond smuggling is the mysterious Octopussy, a fabulously wealthy woman who lives in a highly guarded palace on the river, guarded by athletic and dangerous women . Meeting Octopussy, Bond sees that her circus business is being used as the front for the scam. Yet Octopussy is unaware of the more sinister motives of Orlov and Khan and just thinks that they are just smuggling priceless jewels across the border. Orlov plans to detonate a bomb at an American military base in West Germany. He believes that this will cause the US to pull out of Germany and leave it open to Soviet invasion, fulfilling his maniacal scheme. Coming up against Khan's henchman Gobinda, the lithe Magda and the various foes that stand in his way, Bond teams with Octopussy to stop the nefarious scheme before it is too late and bring down Khan and Orlov in the process.
The first thing to praise in Octopussy is the visuals which are beyond stunning. India, with its colourful saris, opulent palaces and exotic mystique makes for a perfect location for a Bond movie. The production design, especially in Octopussy's palace is breathtaking to say the least and is done to the highest golden standard there is. John Glen directs with a fun and adventurous quality, that also gives the series its fair share of suspense. Nowhere is this more apparent that in the opening when 009 is chased by knife-wielding twins to his eventual death. Yet in comparison to the subdued and grounded For Your Eyes Only, Octopussy has more of an excitement and fantastical quality to it, which always adds to my personal enjoyment of it. The plot, while very interesting, can become a little complex for its own good, but with stunning action and surroundings, you may hardly notice. Standout action scenes are Bond being pursued as the prey in a safari, a tense train fight and a chase through the marketplace on tuk tuks. While the humour is kept to some excellent one-liners, some over the top moments do seep into Octopussy, (need I mention Bond swinging from the vines in the jungle a la Tarzan?) John Barry triumphantly returns for musical duties with a sweepingly romantic score, peppered with exotic strings and drifting flutes. Rita Coolidge sings the main song, entitled 'All Time High' with conviction and makes it one of the more romantic of the Bond theme songs.
Roger Moore is still as charming as ever as 007, perfectly balancing humour with the necessary action that is thrown in his way in this tangled web of intrigue. Maud Adams, returning to Bond after her role in The Man With the Golden Gun, makes for a formidable and independent Bond girl. Adams plays the eponymous character as an intelligent businesswoman, who knows her own mind and what she wants. Adams has excellent chemistry with Moore and they really do make a great couple as Bond and Octopussy realize that they are 'two of a kind'. The late Louis Jourdan exudes suave charisma and villainous glee as Kamal Khan, who is skilled in the art of double-crossing those around him. Khan is such a slimy villain and Jourdan plays him with charm and oily slyness to the hilt. I would like to say here rest in peace Louis Jourdan, you will be certainly be missed. Kristina Wayborn shows off athletic prowess and stunning sexuality as Magda, a member of Octopussy's women who acts as the linchpin between Khan and Octopussy. Kabir Bedi is intimidating and frightening as the loyal henchman Gobinda, while Steven Berkoff clearly relishes the theatrical role as the unhinged General Orlov. Tennis pro Vijay Amritraj makes for a likable ally to Bond in this exotic adventure. We have a new M in the form of Robert Brown, who while never going to rival the impression left by Bernard Lee, is suitable for the role of the gruff boss of Bond. Desmond Llewelyn supplies Q with an eye-rolling and confounded humour as Bond wrecks more of his effective gadgets in the line of duty. Walter Gotell returns as General Gogol, who this time is worried about Orlov's delusions of the future. Unfortunately Lois Maxwell isn't given enough to do this time around as secretary Moneypenny.
Apart from the sometimes long-winded plot and dips into silliness, Octopussy stands as an exciting and enthralling Bond movie.

I'm not a huge Bond fan, especially when it comes to Moore. You've given me hope that maybe I was wrong to pass this one by. Great review!
Moore isn't everyone's cup of tea, but definitely give this movie a rewatch.
I….hate…Roger Moore. I remember my adventure going through each and every Bond, and Moore got on my nerves so bad. He was the guy that did the most puns, was the cheesiest, and was WAY too old for the part. So far, my favorite Bond is without a doubt Daniel Craig, followed by Timothy Dalton, then Connery, Lazenby, Brosnan, and finally…Roger Moore.
Thanks for commenting, that's what is so good about the Bond movies, everyone has such a different opinion on them. No two people are the same when it comes to Bond movies.

I admit I have never ever seen a Bond film… I'm slightly ashamed of myself, but I'm not very much into action films. It sounds very sexy, though 🙂 I love how detailed your review is and enjoyed reading it!
Definitely watch the Bond movies, they're definitely worth it.
I will, but I wreken if I watch one I'd have to watch all… now that's a project!
Yeah, considering there's 23 of them in the series.
I'm dedicating March for this ☺
Go for it.

Cool film I have not seen this one in a long time. I am going to try to find it and watch it again. I love this one. The cinematography as well as the action scenes are awesome.
Thanks, you're spot on about the cinematography.
I've always enjoyed Octopussy. It was just such a well-made film, if you get me. Also, I've been gone a while so I'm not sure when you changed the blog's skin, but I'm digging the new look. 😉
Thanks, glad you agree about the film. I changed the look of my blog last month, appreciate your digging of it.

I'm not a huge fan of Octopussy and probably sits somewhere near the bottom of the pile (along with Die Another Day) for me. Despite the explosive opening, I find it far too humerous with Moore reeling off one-liners far too frequently (the Tuk Tuk scene is just ridculous). As fond of Roger Moore as I am his potrayal of Bond was more a charachiture of Fleming's character, something that was rightly corrected by Timothy Dalton.
I can understand what you mean, Moore's incarnation of the character does divide opinion in the Bond community.
Nice review — I'm with you in thinking this is a good one. It does have its share of silly bits, but they're not as grating as the worst of the Moore era, and the rest of the film make up for them.
Yeah, apart from the occasional slip into silliness, it's a riveting watch.

This was my James Bond!!! This came out on cable TV right when we got cable at our house. It was on all the time, and I watched it every time that I could. This may not be the best Bond film ever, but it is my favorite for sentimental reasons. I have not seen this in years though. I'll definitely need to revisit it.
I love how the Bond movies hold such nostalgia for people.

Does getting a proc refresh it when it's at 3 stacks?
It has low proc rate.
My question is, if you have this trait on two different relics, will it put two different debuffs on the target?
On my feral druid, Torment the Weak (rank 1/3) is only contributing ~0.8% of my total damage. In comparison, Хаотический мрак (rank 1/3) is doing a significant degree of damage, accounting for ~2.3% of my total damage. So at least for this spec,Torment the Weak feels significantly weaker.
On my frost mage (rank 1 Torment the Weak) did about 2% from the opener on and ended up around 2.8% by the end of a 5 minute target dummy test. This was using Glacial Spike and not Thermal Void talent which may make this perform slightly better.
If you have multiple relics with Torment the Weak, the damage of each stack is multiplied. Source.
Apparently, if you apply torment debuff on your target, its damage is also refreshing torment itself...at least on DH.
As Assassin rogue Torment of the weak seems very nice. But with some testing its always lowest on the dps meter.
Out of top 20 dps chart: My Secure in the light talent and chaotic darkness is always in between 15 - 11 and torment doesnt even make the cut. Granted mobs die so fast dots in wow are almost obsolete in pve. But even during boss fights and pvp torment is always last. If was a bleed or a poison maybe it would work better for energy synergy but right now I dont think its worth having.
If im missing something let me know.
This ability is in tier 2 trait of certain relics that are modified by the Netherlight Crucible.
Word of caution: if you do some dungeons/raids that you need to do single target stuff on (i.e. Spine of Deathwing) I found this silly thing was killing the big adds when I was trying to just kill the slimes.
With my particular gear, this trait does 80,000 damage.

SB-958 Davis Joint Unified School District: special taxes: exemptions: teachers and district employees.(2017-2018)
SB958:v95#DOCUMENT
Senate Bill No. 958
An act to add Section 50079.6 to the Government Code, relating to school districts.
SB 958, Dodd. Davis Joint Unified School District: special taxes: exemptions: teachers and district employees.
Existing law authorizes school districts to impose qualified special taxes, subject to specified constitutional and statutory provisions. Existing law defines "qualified special taxes" as taxes that apply uniformly to all taxpayers or all real property within a school district and may include taxes that provide for an exemption from those taxes for persons who are 65 years of age or older, for persons receiving Supplemental Security Income for a disability, or for persons receiving Social Security Disability Insurance benefits, as specified.
This bill would provide that a qualified special tax imposed by the Davis Joint Unified School District in accordance with the above-described authorization may also provide an exemption for teachers and other employees of the school district for their principal place of residence located within the jurisdictional boundaries of the school district. The bill would make this authorization inoperative on January 1, 2021, but would provide that an exemption granted pursuant to this authorization remains in effect for the duration of the period for which the tax is imposed.
This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the Davis Joint Unified School District.
(a) In addition to those persons described in subparagraphs (A) to (C), inclusive, of paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Section 50079, a qualified special tax imposed by the Davis Joint Unified School District in accordance with Section 50079 may provide an exemption for teachers and other employees of the school district for their principal place of residence located within the jurisdictional boundaries of the school district.
(b) Any exemption granted pursuant to subdivision (a) shall remain in effect until the taxpayer becomes ineligible. If the taxpayer becomes ineligible for the exemption for any reason, a new exemption may be granted in the same manner.
(c) This section shall become inoperative on January 1, 2021.
(d) Notwithstanding subdivision (c), or any other law, any exemption allowed pursuant to this section shall remain in effect for the duration of the period for which the tax is imposed.
(e) Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit or limit the Davis Joint Unified School District from imposing, or continuing to impose, a qualified special tax authorized by Section 50079.
The Legislature finds and declares that a special statute is necessary and that a general statute cannot be made applicable within the meaning of Section 16 of Article IV of the California Constitution because of the unique circumstances in the Davis Joint Unified School District.

Broadband subsidies collide in the California desert
23 November 2015 by Steve Blum
anza, casf, connect america fund, cpuc, fcc, frontiercommunications
Up, down, who cares? This is as fast as I go.
The 3,800 homes in the Anza area of Riverside County are a big step closer to getting fiber to the home broadband service from the local electric cooperative. The California Public Utilities Commission published a draft decision on Friday giving the Anza Electric Cooperative a $2.7 million grant from the California Advanced Services Fund (CASF) to pay for 60% of the project.
The project is remarkable for two reasons. First, the subsidy cost per household is only $710, something like an order of magnitude less than typical CASF-funded FTTH projects. That's the advantage of working with an incumbent service provider – albeit electric service – that already has access to utility poles and right of ways, an established customer base, and the people and equipment to make it all work.
The second reason invokes more controversy than the first, though. The Anza area has also been targeted by the Federal Communications Commission for a similar sized subsidy from the Connect America Fund program. I haven't crunched all the numbers, but just looking at the town of Anza itself, which accounts for fewer than a third of the households in the project area, the FCC has put something in the neighborhood of $1.6 million on the table. And Frontier Communications has said it will take that money up, if it's allowed to buy the Verizon copper system that provides telephone, but not DSL, service in the area.
My numbers are rough, but in the ball park. The CAF estimate for the town of Anza is based on the average per-premise subsidy offered by the FCC in Riverside County and discounts the six annual payments at a rate of 5%. You can shift those assumptions pretty far either way, though, and still reach the essential conclusion: the CPUC and the FCC could each give a few million dollars to two different, and ultimately competing, service providers to upgrade broadband infrastructure in the Anza area.
The CPUC is getting the better bargain, though. Anza Electric is promising to deliver 50 Mbps down and up to homes for $50 per month, and as much as 500 Mbps down and up to commercial customers. Assuming the fiber network is intelligently engineered, service could be upgraded as far as necessary for decades to come. The FCC, on the other hand, is only requiring Frontier to deliver 10 Mbps down and 1 Mbps up, and charge whatever the going rate is in urban areas. Which isn't likely to be much less than what Anza proposes to charge for 50 megs each way, and could very well be more.
Even if the copper system was magically upgraded to the FCC standard before the CPUC's expected vote on the project next month, it wouldn't change anything. Unless an area has service available at 6 Mbps down and 1.5 Mbps up, it's eligible for CASF subsidies. The FCC's standard fails on the upload side.
If the tables were turned, the CPUC standard would fail on the download side, but Anza is proposing something way beyond the minimum. From a taxpayer's standpoint, the rational thing to do would be for the FCC to pull its offer, contingent on performance by Anza Electric, and spend its subsidy money elsewhere in California.

Demolition underway at Orange County Government Building as legal battle continues
In late June a construction crew began gutting the interior of Paul Rudolph's embattled Orange County Government Center in Goshen, NY. Two recent lawsuits, filed by local attorney Michael Sussman on behalf of Orange County residents, to halt the demolition were dismissed. A third suit has been filed on the grounds that the County Legislature failed to follow environmental procedures. Meanwhile, the $7 million demolition portion of the project, which includes removing about one-third of the Rudolph building and most interiors, is proceeding and is expected to be complete in two to three months....

Completed in 1951, the home retains many of its original details, including custom-designed wood cabinetry and furniture.. The other Modern listing is Eero Saarinen's very worthy Bell Laboratories in Holmdel. Its listing represents an important milestone for preservation advocates. ... MORE

Denver's RB Montee Ball Chose No. 38 in Honor of Mike Anderson
In April, the Denver Broncos selected record-breaking Wisconsin running back Montee Ball in the second round (58th overall) of the 2013 NFL draft.
In Denver, Ball is expected to contribute early and often and perhaps eventually win the starting job away from incumbent veteran Willis McGahee. But before he hit the practice field, Ball had to choose a jersey number.
Ball wore No. 28 as a Badger, but that number currently belongs to safety Quinton Carter. So how did Ball end up with No. 38?
"I came in like the day after they drafted me and talked to the equipment guy (Chris Valenti) and he gave me a list of numbers that I could chose and it was 37 to 49," Ball told Reggie Rivers in a recent interview on CBS4 Denver.
"I was like, 'Well, hey, let's keep the running back tradition strong—so I chose No. 38. I know Mike Anderson was 38, so that's why I picked it."
Anderson was drafted in the sixth round (189th overall) in the 2000 NFL draft by the Broncos. He would go on to rush for 1,487 yards and 15 touchdowns as a rookie before injuries slowed down his production following his breakout season.
Anderson's final season with the Broncos came in 2005 when he rushed for 1,014 yards and 12 touchdowns before joining the Baltimore Ravens the following offseason and retiring a year later in 2007. Before joining the NFL, Anderson spent four years in the United States Marine Corps upon completing high school.
"I remember (Anderson), I played with him in video games and stuff like that," concluded Ball.

Home » ActFX » Technical Analysis Theory » Nice signal by MACD indicator! Can somebody try to write this one?
That's very interesting algorithm which may have few different visions of how to trigger.
However, i created the most universal variant which corresponds to your conditions.
ps if you have a propositions or additional ideas - let me know, it's interesting for me to upgrade it.


Put the best professional reference in your back pocket.
Your online search has led you to the perfect job opportunity. The company is a fit as far as culture and the pay is on point with what you're seeking. Up until now you've been cruising along through your application, but then you hit a wall.
The next step asks for you to enter professional references that can vouch for your performance. Your resume is in tip-top shape, and your cover letter is pristine, but you've forgotten one thing. You never compiled a list of references, and you're not sure which names you should list.
You think back to your previous jobs and search your brain for past employers you feel would rave about your performance. A few come to mind, but can you be guaranteed they'll provide a positive reference?
Submitting professional references isn't as simple as just listing a few names and email addresses. You've got to work hard to secure positive references. Here are a few tips to help you be prepared for the next time you run into a request for work references from a potential employer.
If you've already done this, it's too late. It's hard to repair a relationship with an employer when you leave on a sour note. It's not too late, however, for you to keep this tip in mind going forward and not make the mistake again.
A previous employer isn't going to vouch for your performance if you bash them or become argumentative on the way out the door. So, no matter how bad the experience, smile and play nice. You never know when you'll need a positive reference from that person.
Additionally, it's important that you don't bash previous employers when you talk to other people. You never know who's connected to whom, and word can travel fast, especially in this digital age.
Let's say, for example, you leave a job and post on social media how happy you are to be out of that place. You talk about how terrible the experience is and ramble on about your boss being a jerk. While it might have helped you blow off some steam, one of your Facebook connections might know that person, or worse yet, you might have connected with them and forgotten.
Word gets back, one way or another, and you find that when you reach to your former employees to include them on a professional reference list, your phone calls are ignored. Or worse. That person agrees to provide you with a reference, but they don't tell you it's going to be negative and you lose out on the job opportunity. Don't lose out. Just remember to smile and move on. You never know when you'll need someone to vouch for you.
Sometimes when you know you're headed out the door and moving onto the next job, it's easy to start slacking. You may not realize it, but people notice. If you start showing up to work late, turning in low quality work or otherwise not putting in the effort, your boss (and your teammates) will notice.
No matter how stellar your performance had been prior to the onset of your slacking, your recent efforts can erase all previous successes. First and last impressions are very powerful, so be mindful of the last impression you make.
Be sure to perform at the highest rate possible, and even ask for more work when possible. Look to help out your teammates even more during a time like this. A little help from a friend can go a long way in leaving a positive last impression.
Prior to your last day, sit down with your boss and let them know how much you appreciate everything during your time working with them. It's ok to ask for a reference in the future at this point.
If your boss is any good at their job, they'll be sad to see you go, but they'll be happy to see you progress in your career. It should be anyone in a management position's goal to improve the lives of those they supervise, and thus they should be happy to provide you with a reference (provided you did a good job).
Often times, you may not need to reach out to your work references for a number of years. So that you don't become forgotten, and their reference can remain fresh, be sure to connect now and then to keep a positive rapport.
No need to mention the reference in your follow-up, unless you need it at that point. Just follow up to say you're checking in to see how that person is doing. Showing that you're thinking about them and concerned about their well-being puts you back on their mind and shows that you're not just using them for a work reference.
When the time comes that you do need someone's reference, be sure to provide context. Offer details about the position you're interested in, and let them know exactly what points you're hoping they'll provide a reference for.
A general reference is great, but when a previous employer can vouch for capabilities that relate directly to the job to which you're applying, that can really have impact. Remind the potential reference of some of the things you accomplished while working with them and then explain how they relate to the new role.
By adding context, your work reference can be a lot more effective. Rather than simply telling the potential employer that you did a good job as a whole, your reference can vouch for specific tasks you achieved that relate directly. That connection could end up being the difference that puts you over the top.
After a previous employer provides a reference for you, you'll want to be sure to send them a thank you note, whether via email or a physical letter. Either one is perfectly fine.
While you may be pumped about starting your new job (the job that reference helped you land), it's highly possible that you'll be looking to make a similar leap at some point in your career while at your new job. The reference that helped put you over the top may not be as willing to vouch for you the next time around if you didn't show gratitude the first time.
It doesn't have to be anything elaborate. No flowers or food offerings necessary. Just say, "thank you." You'll be surprised at how far those two words can take you.
Now that you're armed with this knowledge of how to start a professional reference list, it's time to get started. Don't wait until you land on that references page on your next application. If you wait, the length of time it takes you to secure those references might be time enough for the job opening to close. Don't miss out because you neglected to be proactive. Start brainstorming and contacting people today and have that list built and ready to roll before you jump into that next application.

Q: ¿A qué se debe el cambio de tamaño en mi App? ¿Qué tamaño toma una App cuando es subida a Play Store? Tengo una App ya subida a Play Store. En la ficha me dice que la misma tiene un tamaño de 2 MB.
Estoy ahora preparando una actualización de la misma y probándola en mi dispositivo , instalándola mediante cable USB.
Revisando la información de la misma en el dispositivo, noto que ha cambiado considerablemente de tamaño:

Aquí se ve, en el cuadro verde, a la izquierda un valor preocupante de 44 MB que no sé exactamente a qué corresponde. Luego a la derecha, se ve un valor de 16.06 MB.
Si voy a los detalles de la App (recién instalada), me dice que los 16.06MB corresponden a Almacenamiento, distribuidos así: Tamaño de la aplicación: 15.97MB / Datos del usuario: 77.82KB / Caché: 8.44KB  y de los otros 44 MB no dice nada (por el símbolo gris que aparece a la izquierda interpreto que son 44MB en memoria, lo cual no sabría tampoco qué significa).
Cabe decir que borré la App y que la instalé totalmente nueva mediante el cable USB.
Revisando la carpeta del proyecto, ésta tiene un tamaño de 2.55MB, algo más o menos coherente con el tamaño que dice Play Store que tiene la App subida.
En esta nueva versión yo he agregado algunas cosas, pero no creo que eso justifique ese aumento de tamaño:

*

*Librería GSon

*Algunas clases del modelo de datos

*Algunos archivos de texto muy pequeños

*Un archivo JSON muy pequeño

*Varias Activity nuevas (unas 7)

*Librería Firebase (y sincronización en tiempo real). Debo decir que actualmente hay pocos datos de prueba en Firebase como para alcanzar siquiera 16MB.

Mi duda es, ¿la App tendrá un tamaño de 44MB o de 16MB o de 44MB+16MB cuando la suba a Play Store o bien este tamaño es algo normal cuando se depura mediante USB y el tamaño de la App será el que tiene el folder que la contiene (2MB aproximadamente)? Quiero saberlo por si debo hacer alguna limpieza antes de subirla a Play Store.
¿A qué equivale el valor de 44 MB realmente?
Estuve leyendo sobre App Bundles, pero no encontré respuestas a mi duda. Hice un Clean Project y nada cambió.

A: Es normal observar un tamaño mayor al .apk cuando tienes por ejemplo una aplicación que descarga y almacena información ya sea en base de datos, preferencias o archivos.
Como ejemplo:

si a esta aplicación le eliminamos los datos, obtenemos la medida original al instalar la aplicación:

Pero ahora ¿por qué nuestro .apk tiene una medida y al ser instalado aumenta su tamaño?
En realidad se debe a que el .apk en realidad es un archivo compreso. Por esta razón al ser instalado aumenta su tamaño. Como prueba puedes cambiar la extensión de .apk a .zip:

al convertir a .zip puedes extraer los archivos compresos en el archivo .apk  y la medida de todos estos archivos es similar a la aplicación instalada:

Upu Postal Agreement
December 19, 2020 6:08 pm Published by ammoore Leave your thoughts
On Wednesday, Navarro said the agreement would "transform an outdated and discriminatory system into a modern and resilient system, much better prepared to meet the new demands of e-commerce." If China is able to explain itself, Gooding does not expect fireworks. A "tit for tat" scenario, as can be seen in the current trade war between the United States and China, is unlikely, he said, because as a mail exporter, China has little to gain from the increase in international postal tariffs. Such increases will have an impact on the growing number of companies that supply lightweight items such as clothing directly to consumers in the U.S., but it`s unlikely that larger paradigm shifts will occur, Gooding said. Yes, a postal company like Deutsche Post has the option of registering in another country and sending parcels from the United States to other countries, as if they were from Germany, which will allow Deutsche Post to access UPU rates. There are now a number of postal companies involved in this practice, and while ETOE is blocked in some countries and ETOE freight is not expected to arrive in other countries, we can see how, for some smart people, it would not take much to know how to beat the system. By remaining in the UPU, the United States retains a leading role in the global postal system. The adoption of Option V allows the United States to increase the price of parcels arriving from other countries in exchange for a contribution to the EU Voluntary Contribution Fund. The United States has obtained permission to set its own Inbound postal costs and remains within the UPU. Navarro called the result a victory for "a new brand of Trumpist diplomacy," affirming the principle that international organizations such as post-Union must "respect the rights of the United States and serve their members, instead of being used as piggy banks for countries with bad actors who try to bend their rules." Companies like eBay have criticized the current system as unfair, but have warned that a U.S. withdrawal could have disastrous consequences, especially before the holiday season. The company had asked the United States to reach some kind of agreement and said on Wednesday that it supported the result. What do experienced sellers do to avoid these high fees? They transport freight through resellers of the Extra-Territorial Exchange Office (ETOE). While this may seem like an exciting sequel to a 1980s alien film, it`s just a big phrase and an acronym for a postal company that`s building its store in another country.
Under the agreement, the United States will also provide $40 million over five years to the Postal Union. The funding will help the postal union promote the use of computerized systems that provide security against shipping drugs such as fentanyl and other dangerous products, said David Dadge, a spokesman for the union. The threat of a change to the Universal Postal Union Treaty has sparked waves in the e-commerce sector around the world. Changes in international postal fares could affect airlines such as FedEx and DHL. Online merchants and consumers will also notice the changes from July 2020. The Treaty of Bern of 1874 unified an international labyrinth of postal services and regulations into a single postal zone for the exchange of reciprocal mail. The barriers and borders that had impeded the free movement and growth of the international post office were eventually removed. More history" Why is it important? Without the UPU, postal operators would have to negotiate separate bilateral agreements with any other operator with whom they wished to exchange international mail.

China escalating anti-tax avoidance efforts
Colin Farrell and Matthew Mui PwC
Fighting tax avoidance has become a common effort of the international tax community to prevent companies from eroding the tax base of the source or resident countries and paying tax nowhere. And China is no exception.
During 2012, China witnessed a significant growth in its tax collection through anti-tax avoidance efforts. According to the latest statistics published by the State Administration of Taxation (SAT), the 2012 total tax collection contributed from anti-tax avoidance operations amounted to RMB34.6 billion (around US$5.6 billion), representing a year-on-year growth of 45% over 2011, and 74 times the 2005 amount. The Chinese tax authorities initiated 233 anti-tax avoidance cases in 2012. Among the 175 settled cases, the average amount of tax collected per case was RMB26.2 million, and the largest single sum of tax collection amounted to RMB 843 million. Nine cases reclaimed tax of more than RMB100 million and 59 cases reclaimed more than RMB10 million.
China's combat against tax-avoidance activities
In China, the tax authorities' anti-avoidance focus was initially mostly limited to transfer pricing (TP). However, the scope has expanded in recent years, in particular after the new Corporate Income Tax Law (CIT), effective after 2008, which introduced new provisions covering thin capitalisation, controlled foreign corporations and general anti-avoidance rules (GAAR).
In recent years, some tax avoidance areas which have attracted the Chinese tax authorities' concerns are:
Offshore indirect equity transfers
As an "experiment" for the implementation of a GAAR, the SAT started investigations in 2010 on effective transfers of Chinese entities' equity interest through the transfer of offshore China vehicles without a China tax consequence. A closer look at the common features of some reported GAAR cases on indirect equity transfers may help to illustrate where China stands in its anti-tax avoidance efforts:
Detection: All of these reported cases were detected by local-level tax bureaus instead of being voluntarily reported by the overseas transferor. It is not difficult for these offshore indirect equity transfers to come to the attention of the Chinese tax authorities, for instance, through tax audits of the Chinese entity being indirectly transferred, or from public announcements of the overseas transferors and transferees.
Methodology to assess a transaction: "Purpose test" is stipulated in the CIT Law as a crucial factor in applying the GAAR. However, in the practice of local level tax bureaus, the "substance test" has dominated because the "purpose test" is rather subjective or abstract and difficult to substantiate in some cases. That has inevitably resulted in more disputes with taxpayers.
Onus of proof: The Chinese tax laws and regulations do not explicitly state which party shall bear the onus of proof in tax avoidance matters. In practice, the taxpayer is often required to justify that the main purpose of an arrangement is not for tax avoidance, even in the process of an administrative appeal.
Beneficial ownership for treaty benefit purpose
In recent years, China has been intensifying its focus on granting treaty benefits, and at the same time attacking treaty shopping through the assessment of beneficial ownership (BO). In the last couple of years, the SAT attempted to provide several interpretations and guidelines on this issue, but unfortunately they were unclear and impractical. Some local-level tax bureaus had taken rather harsh positions against the treaty benefit applications which caused quite a number of disputes with the applicants. In early 2013, the SAT issued an official reply to local-level tax bureaus regarding their real-life cases on the assessment of BO in respect of dividends under the China-Hong Kong double taxation agreement (DTA). That reply is generally more practical and reasonable.
The SAT acknowledges that exchange of information (EoI) is an effective tool to combat TP issues, treaty shopping, inappropriate cost deduction issues and other forms of tax avoidance. There is a recently reported case whereby China denied the capital gain treaty protection applied by a Barbados-based transferor. This transferor was then proven to be a branch of a US taxpayer through the EoI via the Joint International Tax Shelter Information Centre (JITSIC) platform.
EoI is also the key to international tax cooperation. The SAT has taken significant steps in recent years in adhering to the high standards of international cooperation in the EoI space.
Going forward there could be more information exchange between China and overseas tax jurisdictions and hence a higher degree of transparency and disclosure of tax information imposed on taxpayers. Taxpayers should therefore be prepared for the possible increased exposure of their financial and tax information to the tax authorities of both the resident country and the source country.
Next moves
There is a strong signal that the Chinese tax authorities are ready to handle more complex tax-avoidance issues as they are equipped with more technical skills and practical experiences. Looking forward, in light of the international trend to protect the tax base – such as the OECD's base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS) project – doubtless China is moving to a new stage of anti-tax avoidance, not only through legislation, but also through domestic enforcement and international cooperation.
Among other anti-avoidance measures, the SAT is also expected to roll out a set of GAAR procedures soon which would address the selection of suspicious tax avoidance cases, evidence collection processes and analysis at local level tax bureaus, and then examination and verification at the SAT level, probably through a technical panel. The aim is to make the implementation of the GAAR more standardised, sophisticated, efficient and fairer to both tax bureaus and taxpayers.
Interaction between China and Hong Kong
Due to its proximity to China and other economic and political factors, Hong Kong is frequently used as a spring board for multinationals' investments into China. Hong Kong is also a top trading partner of China.
Historically, there were tax avoidance cases reported in China involving Hong Kong parties, including a "forged" BO of China source passive income for obtaining a DTA benefit, an empty shell for offshore indirect equity transfer, and claiming offshore Hong Kong source of business profits to achieve double non-taxation. Such cases have perhaps sent an impression to the international tax community that Hong Kong is an undesirable tax haven.
However, the fact is that Hong Kong tax legislation has built-in anti-tax avoidance measures and has put emphasis on EoI in recent years. There is a third protocol on EoI to the China-Hong Kong DTA, which is consequential to Hong Kong's adoption of the 2004 OECD convention EoI article. It is also understood that there is reasonably frequent EoI between the SAT and Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department (IRD).
Additionally, the assessing practice of the IRD has become even more thorough and tight in recent years. In particular, the IRD is attacking offshore claims forcefully to combat perceived double non-taxation. Several Hong Kong taxpayers are relying on Hong Kong's territorial taxing concept and its geographical proximity to China to achieve a tax efficient arrangement via such claims. For instance, trading and/or service profits are captured by a Hong Kong entity which are claimed as non-taxable offshore sourced profits on the basis that the actual work is performed by travelling employees of the Hong Kong entity in China. If the activities performed in China do not constitute a permanent establishment in China, it is possible to legitimately achieve an outcome where the profits are taxed neither in Hong Kong nor China. It appears increasingly apparent that the IRD is actively checking the robustness of such arrangements, in some cases raising substantial information requests in multiple-year tax queries and audits, with a heavy onus of proof on the taxpayer and a potentially lengthy dispute process (a tax audit can often take three to four years to resolve). There is also tax risk on the other side, in that with China's growing effort in reviewing and uncovering unreported permanent establishments of foreign corporations, it is likely that more of these companies may be required to pay Chinese tax.
At the time of the CIT reform back in 2008, China was determined to tackle aggressive tax planning schemes to protect its tax base. The issuance of many important tax circulars to tighten up administration on non-tax residents as well as vigorous tax audits in recent years is a clear demonstration of this. The Chinese tax authorities are now becoming more and more sophisticated in terms of anti-tax avoidance. In light of this trend, it is inevitable that taxpayers will be subject to more tax compliance requirements, more disclosure and reporting obligations, and even more inspections.
Against this backdrop, the prevailing practical approach for taxpayers is to prepare for all of the worst possible outcomes. Some takeaway points may include:
Think twice about valid commercial reasons for any structuring or transactions;
Build substance into existing structures;
Prepare adequate documentation to defend challenges, which in fact requires a very high standard of internal controls; and
Build up trust with local level tax bureaus and prepare good communication and strategy to monitor tax audits or enquiries.
