OpenLDAP support for RHEL 8 discontinued – DAASI International assists in migration plans
10.05.2019 adminGeneral, New technologies, Recommendations
On Tuesday, the 7th of May 2019, the US-American company Red Hat released the latest version of the Linux distribution Red Hat Enterprise Linux – RHEL 8.
Already in September 2017, Red Hat announced that RHEL 8 does not support the open-source software OpenLDAP anymore: "The knowledge and expertise, and thus ability to support OpenLDAP server to the same level of confidence as our other offerings was limited. To avoid confusion, Red Hat decided to deprecate OpenLDAP server to discourage new deployments and steer customers to the enterprise ready solutions Red Hat offers full support for, or to allow customers to seek services from the third parties that support OpenLDAP server professionally."
Instead of OpenLDAP, Red Hat recommends migrating to their Red Hat Directory Server (RHDS). This is a commercial version of the 389 Directory Server and can only be purchased through a subscription.
OpenLDAP is the open source reference implementation of the LDAPv3 standard and also one of the most powerful LDAP servers. By using OpenLDAP, IT infrastructures can not only benefit from enormous flexibility, but also gain stability. More information about OpenLDAP can be found on our website or on openldap.org.
DAASI International can offer several support options for users who wish to continue running OpenLDAP under RHEL:
Symas OpenLDAP is a binary package from the US company Symas, a partner of DAASI International, which is also available for RHEL. In the Gold version, customers can benefit from 24×7 support from Symas. For Symas OpenLDAP, DAASI International will be pleased to take over the operation for you, support you during the migration and also offer helpdesk services.
The LTB Project (Linux Toolbox) also offers current OpenLDAP packages. DAASI International is at your disposal for consulting and operation.
Would you rather compile your OpenLDAP server yourself? We are glad to support you! DAASI International has many years of experience and a profound know-how in this field as well.
Do you still have questions about RHEL and/or OpenLDAP? DAASI International is pleased to advise you on these options and can support you in all phases of your project. Please use our contact form. We look forward to hearing from you.
Our full range of services can be found here.

One of our staff's favorite educators is Dan Hodgins. He provides excellent training on various aspects of working with children in early childhood. He encourages adults to take a step back and evaluate our practices, formulating appropriate methods based on the early childhood developmental stages and processes. Often his trainings require some effort on the adult's behalf to truly think outside the limitations we have learned and chosen to put ourselves in. We have to consioiusly work at modifying our past habits and thought-processes.
As I've said before, I highly recommend his book Boys: Changing the Classroom, Not the Child to ANYONE (teachers and parents alike). Something I love just as dearly as his book is the fact that Dan also puts out a newsletter each month. I absolutely CHERISH the few minutes it takes each month to read his newsletter! It serves as a monthly reminder of why I do what I do.
I'm posting below his December newsletter. This is probably a bit on the late side, as you've likely all done all your holidy shopping (I truly haven't done any!), but let it serve as a reminder to you of what this crazy season can be like for a preschooler. Please step back and view the holidays from their precious perspective!


The Kansas Courtroom of Appeals ruled in Condition v. Robinson that legal guidelines criminalizing refusing a preliminary screening gadget ("PBT") are unconstitutional. A preliminary screening unit or preliminary breath exam (PBT) is viewed as a subject sobriety take a look at. The PBT is a hand-held system generally presented to motorists or pedestrians when a legislation enforcement officer suspects the pedestrian has been consuming. It is normally provided to motorists at the scene of a vehicle quit when the officer believes the driver could be below the influence. The objective of this examination is to ascertain if the officer has possible induce to make a DUI arrest.
According to an report posted by the KC Star, it is believed that twenty p.c of arrested drunken motorists refuse to acquire chemical exams. Refusing the PBT has been regarded a targeted visitors infraction in Kansas for numerous years. It usually resulted in a great. The refusal regulation was categorised either as a misdemeanor or felony, relying on how a lot of situations an personal experienced been billed with violating it. Officers are required to present warning to the human being being tested, which bundled a warning that refusing to just take the PBT was an infraction.
The Courtroom is next the same analysis as the Kansas Supreme Court docket did in holding that KSA eight-1025 (Refusal of a Breath Check) was unconstitutional. The Court held that a breath check and a PBT are both of those queries. So, the Fourth Modification applies. A citizen are unable to be punished for invoking his or her rights.
If you have been pulled in excess of and refused a preliminary screening machine, or you have any thoughts about what to do to after a DUI arrest sense totally free to get in touch with me to talk about your alternatives.
The article Criminalizing Refusal of Preliminary Screening Unit Unconstitutional appeared very first on John Rapp – Wichita DUI Law firm.

Google has updated their SEO Starter Guide – find out what's new
Posted on December 14, 2017 | Luke Glassford |
Google has updated its official SEO Starter Guide for the first time in seven years.
The release of the new web-based SEO Starter Guide replaces the previous PDF version as well as incorporates their old Webmaster Academy, which was a separate resource which had the information and tools to teach webmasters how to create a site and have it found in Google Search.
You can see the all-new Google SEO Starter Guide here: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/7451184
The new guide includes new sections detailing why SEO is important, how to add structured data markup and tips for making and maintaining mobile-friendly websites.
Google says the new starter guide is for anyone who owns, manages, monetizes or promotes online content via Google Search.
It doesn't, however, reveal any previously unknown algorithm secrets, so it's more of a primer for beginners and a refresher for more experienced SEO professionals.
We've took some time going through the new guide to identify the most interesting and notable changes to the new guide...
What's changed?
Hiring an SEO expert - Google is quite up-front about the fact it may be worthwhile to hire an SEO professional, and briefly details what SEOs can offer to online businesses.
Mobile-friendly websites - A lot has changed since Google last updated the SEO Starter Guide seven years ago, and the mobile web is perhaps the most important change. The previous guide focused on SEO best practices for websites that had separate mobile pages, but the new guide reflects the current state of mobile browsing and includes tips on creating websites that can be accessed on any device.
Linking out to other sites - The new guide does a better job of advising webmasters about the perils of adding links to other sites, telling us to "Be careful who you link to. You can confer some of your site's reputation to another site your site links to it."
It also goes through some of the more common link spam techniques to look out for, such as comment spam, and how webmasters can combat them using things like "nofollow".

Today we are proud to announce that the William A. Douglass Center for Basque Studies and the Jon Bilbao Basque Library have been awarded the Euskararen Nazioarteko Eguna Saria (Euskara International Day Award) by Eusko Ikaskuntza-Basque Studies Society.
In its remarks, the jury stressed our hard work and accomplishments during the last 50 years to raise awareness of the Basque language and culture in North American academia.
The staff of the Center and the Basque Library would like to extend our gratitude to Eusko Ikaskuntza. This award will motivate us to continue our work for another 50 years and beyond.


Once again, I'm quoting from one of Krystal Slaten's articles in the Times-Mail.
Of course it's about the people, Mr. Duncan. Who else would it be about? Anyways, you want to know what you can do? Take a look around this site, for starters. There are a multitude of suggestions provided by both readers of this site and myself.
Duncan, a Republican, said the city's cable contract with Charter Communications, the disrepair of the sidewalks and roads and the lack of good-paying jobs are just a few of the things he's interested in tackling.
This is (somewhat) encouraging. I highly recommend the city look into revamping its contract with Charter Communications. Charter, in my opinion, provides below par services at exorbitant rates. I'm further aggravated by the fact that the City receives only $1 per customer from Charter. The City Council, which has been mulling over this very topic recently (without any action, of course), should look at how the City of Bloomington and Insight Communications work together, as well as how much they receive from Insight (hint: it's more than $1 per customer per annum).
The messed up sidewalks? Yeah, they're old, ugly, and dangerous, just like they have been every time this topic has been brought up. Can we fix them now?
Really? I don't. Mitchell doesn't have the infrastructure to support quality industry, nor do we have anything to attract them here. Why do you believe "Mitchell can be competitive in attracting quality jobs"?
Are you f**kin' shittin' me?


Everyone wants to eat yummy tasty food. But in today's busy scheduled life style no one has sufficient time for prepare and eat food at proper time. But our problem could be solving by restaurants and hotels. They provide us different verities food. Now a day's online services and survey program came in scenario. So today we will discuss about steps to take part in El Pollo Loco Survey in English and Spanish language.
El Pollo Loco is an American public restaurant chain. It was founded in 1980. They provide fire grilled chicken and Mexican related food. They serve fresh, tasty and healthy food. They offer an online order and home delivery facility and makes their customers life easier. Now they came with a new customer satisfaction feedback survey program. In this program customers have to share their experience and give suggestion about their food quality and service.
After completing above formalities you can take part in their survey. If you are first time user then don't to worry. Today I will show you everything in details. First we have to create an account. So follow my instructions step by step.
I think you can get perfect idea from my above instructions. So read carefully and follow my instructions. You have a chance to share your experience and get discount code. They can also get opportunity to correct their imperfection. So you will get better service at next visit.

Q: file.lastModified() is never what was set with file.setLastModified() I do have a problem with millis set and read on Android 2.3.4 on a Nexus One. This is the code:
File fileFolder = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), appName + "/"
    + URLDecoder.decode(folder.getUrl()));
if (fileFolder != null && !fileFolder.exists()) {
  fileFolder.setLastModified(1310198774);
  fileFolder.mkdirs();
  fileFolder.setLastModified(1310198774);
}

if (fileFolder != null && fileFolder.exists()) {
  long l = fileFolder.lastModified();
}

In this small test I write 1310198774 but the result that is returned from lastModified() is 1310199771000.
Even if I cut the trailing "000" there's a difference of several minutes.
I need to sync files between a webservice and the Android device. The lastmodification millis are part of the data sent by this service. I do set the millis to the created/copied files and folders to check if the file/folder needs to be overwritten.
Everything is working BUT the millis that are returned from the filesystem are different from the values that were set.
I'm pretty sure there's something wrong with my code - but I can't find it.
Many thanks in advance.
HJW

A: On Jelly Bean+, it's different (mostly on Nexus devices yet, and others that use the new fuse layer for /mnt/shell/emulated sdcard emulation):
It's a VFS permission problem, the syscall utimensat() fails with EPERM due to  inappropriate permissions (e.g. ownership).
in platform/system/core/sdcard/sdcard.c:

/* all files owned by root.sdcard */
  attr->uid = 0;
  attr->gid = AID_SDCARD_RW;

From utimensat()'s syscall man page:
2. the caller's effective user ID must match the owner of the file; or
3. the caller must have appropriate privileges.

To make any change other than setting both timestamps to the current time
(i.e., times is not NULL, and both tv_nsec fields are not UTIME_NOW and both
tv_nsec fields are not UTIME_OMIT), either condition 2 or 3 above must apply.

Old FAT offers an override of the iattr->valid flag via a mount option to allow changing timestamps to anyone, FUSE+Android's sdcard-FUSE don't do this at the moment (so the 'inode_change_ok() call fails) and the attempt gets rejected with -EPERM. Here's FAT's ./fs/fat/file.c:
/* Check for setting the inode time. */
ia_valid = attr->ia_valid;
if (ia_valid & TIMES_SET_FLAGS) {
    if (fat_allow_set_time(sbi, inode))
        attr->ia_valid &= ~TIMES_SET_FLAGS;
}

error = inode_change_ok(inode, attr);

I also added this info to this open bug.

A: So maybe I'm missing something but I see some problems with your code above. Your specific problem may be due (as @JB mentioned) to Android issues but for posterity, I thought I'd provide an answer.
First off, File.setLastModified() takes the time in milliseconds.  Here are the javadocs. You seem to be trying to set it in seconds. So your code should be something like:
fileFolder.setLastModified(1310198774000L);

As mentioned in the javadocs, many filesystems only support seconds granularity for last-modification time. So if you need to see the same modification time in a file then you should do something like the following:
private void changeModificationFile(File file, long time) {
    // round the value down to the nearest second
    file.setLastModified((time / 1000) * 1000);
}

A: If this all doesn't work try this (ugly) workaround quoted from https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=18624:
//As a workaround, this ugly hack will set the last modified date to now:
RandomAccessFile raf = new RandomAccessFile(file, "rw");
long length = raf.length();
raf.setLength(length + 1);
raf.setLength(length);
raf.close();

A: Works on some devices but not on others. Do not design a solution that relies on it working.  See https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=18624#c29
Here is a simple test to see if it works.
public void testSetLastModified() throws IOException {
    long time = 1316137362000L;
    File file = new File("/mnt/sdcard/foo");
    file.createNewFile();
    file.setLastModified(time);
    assertEquals(time, file.lastModified());
}

A: If you only want to change the date/time of a directory to the current date/time (i.e., "now"), then you can create some sort of temporary file inside that directory, write something into it, then immediately delete it.  This has the effect of changing the 'lastModified()' date/time of the directory to the present date/time.  This won't work though, if you want to change the directory date/time to some other random value, and can't be applied to a file, obviously.

Morphy's May 23 Firearms Auction to Include High Quality Guns, Knives and Ammo
Ammoland Inc.https://www.ammoland.com/ Posted on May 20, 2015 by DeltaOperatorMan
Government-commissioned Singer Mfg Model 1911 A1 semi-automatic pistol expected to make $80,000-$120,000
Lot 285 – Singer Mfg Model 1911 A1 semi-automatic pistol, one of the great rarities in the Colt collecting field, estimate $80,000-$120,000. Morphy Auctions image
Morphy Auctions
Denver, PA -(Ammoland.com)- More than 800 lots of top-notch firearms, knives and ammunition will be offered at Morphy's May 23 auction, led by one of the great rarities of the Colt collecting field: a Singer Mfg Model 1911 semi-automatic pistol.
Known worldwide for its high-quality sewing machines, Singer was granted a government commission in 1940 to produce 500 Colt-designed Model 1911 A1 pistols for the US Army Air Force. The example in Morphy's sale is identified through its serial number as being the 170th pistol of the production run. To ensure its absolute originality, Morphy's asked noted Colt 1911 authority Eric Gustafson to disassemble the gun and compare each of its parts to those of a known-original Singer 1911 A1.
"The comparison showed that every aspect of the pistol in our sale is 100% correct and original," said Morphy Auctions founder and president Dan Morphy. "Also, it appears as if the gun saw little or no use at all, and therefore it should be regarded as one of the finer-condition Singers ever to reach the open market."
Lot 718 – Colt single-action Army flat-top nickel .32 target handgun, originally shipped in 1889, estimate $15,000-$20,000. Morphy Auctions image
Entered as Lot 285, the pistol is expected to make $80,000-$120,000. Another very rare gun is Lot 718, a Colt S.A.A. flat-top nickel .32 target model. Only nine flat-top single-action target Colt Armies were ever manufactured in the .32-.44 Smith & Wesson cartridge. Of those nine, one can only speculate as to how many were factory nickel-finished like the one in Morphy's sale.
"The action works like a Swiss watch, the bore is excellent, and the condition overall is breathtaking. This is one of the rarest, if not the rarest, Colt single-action Armies in existence," said Morphy's Firearms Division expert Dave Bushing. The gun, which originally shipped in 1889, is estimated at $15,000-$20,000.
Lot 284 – Unfired Union Switch & Signal Colt 1911 pistol, estimate $6,000-$9,000. Morphy Auctions image
Other prized handguns include Lot 284, an unfired, boxed US&S Switch & Signal Colt 1911 pistol produced under government commission in 1943, which is estimated at $6,000-$9,000; and Lot 577, a high-condition Remington Model 1875 single-action Army revolver whose production run was from 1875 to 1889.
Lot 577 – High-condition Remington Model 1875 single-action Army revolver of the type used by outlaw Frank James, estimate $4,500-$7,500. Morphy Auctions image
"This model is best known for having been the favorite handgun of outlaw Frank James of the James Gang," Bushing noted. Estimate: $4,500-$7,500.
Lot 480 – Civil War era Martial Henry lever-action rifle, documented as issued to Company B, First DC Cavalry, estimate $25,000-$45,000. Morphy Auctions image
Several very fine rifles will cross the auction block. Lot 480 is a .44 caliber US Martial Contract Henry lever-action rifle whose serial number confirms it was issued to Company B of the First DC Cavalry. This unit participated in many Civil War battles, including Gettysburg, Spotsylvania and Cold Harbor; and was responsible for the capture of John S Mosby, the Confederate Army commander nicknamed the "Gray Ghost." The rifle is extremely clean with perfect factory stamps, and its action is flawless. Estimate: $25,000-$45,000.
Lot 662 – Ernest Dumoulin (Belgian) Deluxe Sporting Rifle, superior quality, custom-built by Dumoulin himself, estimate $25,000-$40,000. Morphy Auctions image
Two particularly beautiful sporting rifles will take the auction spotlight. Lot 662, an exquisite Ernest Dumoulin (Belgian) Deluxe Sporting Rifle, was custom built by Dumoulin himself. It was crafted utilizing the Mauser long action and chambered for the classic and powerful .375 H&H cartridge.
"This luxury firearm is a work of art and demonstrates the quality and excellence of one of the masters of gunmaking," said Bushing. Its pre-sale estimate is $25,000-$40,000.
Lot 655 – Presentation Maynard cased, multiple-barrel sporting rifle, Civil War era, estimate $20,000-$25,000. Morphy Auctions image
The second sporting rifle warranting special mention is Lot 655, a Maynard French-fitted First Model that was presented to William G Freeman, an arms industry executive who played a significant role in gun production during the Civil War. The innovative design of the Maynard allowed the user to have a single gun with three barrels. This versatile feature allowed the user to adapt swiftly to various situations. The circa-1856 gun still exhibits 90% of its high-polish fire-blue finish and has its original accessories and case.
"This rifle would be a prize in any collection. We will never see another one quite like it," Bushing said. Estimate: $20,000-$25,000
All firearms are available to preview at Morphy's gallery from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., now through auction day. On Friday, May 22, from 5-9 p.m., Morphy's will host a special preview night for collectors or those with an interest in starting a collection. Cocktails and refreshments will be served at this friendly social gathering, and experts from Morphy's Firearms Division will be on hand to answer any questions pertaining to guns entered in the auction or in general.
All forms of bidding will be available for Morphy's May 23, 2015 Firearms, Knives & Ammunition Auction, including in person at the gallery, over the phone, absentee or live via the Internet through Morphy Live.
The auction will begin at 9 a.m. Eastern Time. Morphy Auctions is located at 2000 N. Reading Road in Denver, PA 17517. For additional information on any item in the sale or to reserve a phone line for bidding on auction day, call 717-335-3435 or email [email protected]

MACHINE HEAD released a digital single
Today, Oakland-based Machine Head released a digital single called 'Arrows in Words From the Sky'. The release contains three new tracks: 'Rotten', 'Arrows in Words From the Sky' and the massive 'Become the Firestorm'.
The effects of a pandemic and the death of Robb Flynn's mother had an impact on these three songs and added a dark haze to these songs.
Flynn states:
"The lyrics to these songs took to me places inside I didn't want to go, from the bile and negativity on "Rotten," to nothing-will-beat-me-down fury of "Become The Firestorm," to the title track "Arrows" being one of the saddest songs I've ever written, yet somehow has the power to lift me up out of what was a very dark time in my life. My hope is that by sharing these dark experiences with the Head Cases of the world, it can save someone else out of that same dark place."

Returning To Society: New community collaboration, research and federal funding fight to hold the costs of criminal recidivism down
July 2, 2011 leoadambiga	Leave a comment Go to comments
Having posted an awful lot of fluff or soft journalism stories lately, I thought it time to present something completely different, as in the following story for The Reader (www.thereader.com) on reentry programs that work with offenders to prepare and guide them for what is hopefully their successful reintegration in society. I don't tackle many serious or hard subjects like this, but I do enjoy the challenge. As freelancing for newspapers and magazines in Omaha does not pay well, I can never justify devoting the amount of research-reporting time such a story deserves. The compensation doesn't come close as it is to compensating me for the time I invest, much less for the time I would like to invest.
©by Leo Adam Biga
A somewhat different version of the story appears in The Reader (www.thereader.com)
As the doors of America's overcrowded prisons swing ever wider, sending more ex-offenders back into society, reentry's become a major focus nationwide, including Nebraska.
America has 2.2 million individuals incarcerated in prison. That number's expected to rise with the cost of housing inmates amid already strained resources.
Nationally, thousands enter and leave the corrections system every day. Hundreds of thousands every year. As community corrections, early parole releases and probation sentences send more offenders back into society, there's new emphasis on preparing them for release and supporting their transition. Nebraska, like the rest of the U.S., is navigating this flood of returnees.
Not surprisingly, corrections is better at confining folks than "fixing" them, which helps explain why prisons see so many repeat offenders. A 2011 Pew Center on the States study found more than four in ten offenders return to state prison within three years of release. Nebraska does better than the national average, at about three in ten, but there's concern too many end up back in the system or struggle on the outside, thus becoming a drain or risk.
For veteran reentry worker Teela Mickles, the problem is crystal clear. "Even individuals who've been in prison will say, 'If you don't get us before we get out, it's a waste of time.' This cold turkey stuff won't work," says Mickles, who works with inmates and parolees through her nonprofit Compassion in Action.
Two ex-offenders now working with returning citizens confirm reentry is an inside game that must start early on.
"Turning your life is very hard, take it from me," says Ray Kyles, adding it was "only when I finally took an inventory of myself and seen what I was worth that I started transforming." That change only came during his third and last stint in prison. "I've come to the conclusion that in order for a man or woman to be successful once they come out of prison they must start working within the moment they hit the prison system. It's a learning process."
"Transition starts on the inside," says Garry Kern, who was incarcerated 13 years and is now a caseworker for Goodwill Partnerships. "It's a mindset. That's where change comes."
There's growing recognition of the importance of pre-release preparation.
"By helping an inmate get a high school diploma or GED, help them address their substance abuse and mental health issues, and by helping them become a better parent or learn a vocation, we are giving them a better chance to return to the community as a successful citizen," says Nebraska Department of Correctional Services programs administrator Layne Gissler.
Reentry programs are voluntary for prisoners. "If waiting lists occur, generally the inmates who are closest to release are given priority for programming," he says.
Teela Mickles, Compassion in Action
Ideally, pre-release programs lead to changed attitudes and behaviors inside that persist on the outside. That's the expressed goal of the UNO Transformation Project. Using The Autobiography of Malcolm X and motivational interviewing as talking points, facilitators encourage inmates to take stock and develop personal life plans. The program, largely funded by UNO grad John Morgan, works with inmates on addressing six stability domains:
"So, your family, your friends, your health, the people you hang out with," says project manager Nicole Kennedy, who wrote the curriculum. "We picked those six areas because the research tells us for every one one of those areas you can help stabilize somebody in, you see a reduction in recidivism."
She says project modules ask inmates to be self-reflective.
"We're recognizing that until somebody has taken the time to sit down and actually think about who they are, what they value and what they want out of life, all that programming is not really being applied in the most productive manner. What we're trying to do is get them to think a little more deeply about how do all these factors relate to what plan you're going to have when you return to the community. We're asking these guys to take a critical look at some personal and sensitive topics.
"I think a lot of prison programming is very narrowly skill based. What we're trying to do is much more broad based. You can't really think about your substance abuse in isolation of your employment or your housing or your social networks. All of these factors, while they have their own unique components, will be impacted by the others. So it's going to be harder for you to stay sober and clean if you don't have a job and you don't have a place to live, because the life pressure that brings will eventually build up. Likewise, if you're not managing your substance abuse it could be really hard to keep a job. If you're dependent on your family to provide you housing and are couch surfing, that's going to take its toll on family relationships."
The Nebraska Center for Justice Research
Kennedy credits Nebraska corrections officials for supporting a holistic model that serves inmates from the jump. She says there's wide agreement the more inmates do to address their needs beforehand the more likely they are to make positive choices upon release.
"Corrections gives these guys a lot of tools and resources but this is kind of the mortar that holds those bricks together," she says. "We're really trying to get you to take all this information and apply it to yourself and your own unique circumstances."
The Transformation Project refers its graduates to Ray Kyles and his You Are Not Alone program. Kyles is convinced accountability must first take root behind bars if an offender is to turn his or her life around.
"We need to start working with the choices you make in your life, We need to open your eyes up to what got you there. We need to get you to the point where you understand the trickle down effect of the crimes you may have committed — it's not only hurting you, it's hurting your family, it's hurting the community. Until we understand the people we hurt we'll still be wallowing in the world of that dumb shit of somebody owes me."
Similarly, Teela Mickles says her reentry curriculum "is comprehensive and developmental in addressing the real issues in that individual for why drugs became an issue, for why crime became an issue. They have to understand, embrace and begin to work with the reasons why before they get out. That's where job sustainability comes in, because an individual has to understand that there's going to be a process of transition."
Federal mandate and community advocacy are making reentry a priority in today's more enlightened, research-based corrections field. It's a multi-billion dollar industry that involves law enforcement professionals, judges, lawyers, corrections officials, probation and parole officers, caseworkers and community-based service providers, both professional and volunteer.
The sheer volume of inmates has increased with get-tough policies in the war on drugs. Nebraska's projected prison population for 2011 is 4,713, which is near where it's hovered for several years. From 1995 to 2009 Nebraska's overall incarceration rate per 100,000 adults increased from 185 to 245.
The cost of prosecuting and detaining individuals, most of whom are nonviolent, has become more of a burden in budget-strapped times. In line with national trends, Nebraska's overall corrections spending has skyrocketed, from $72 million in 1995 to $181 million in 2010. Nationally, state corrections expenditures are an estimated $50 billion per year. Those costs don't include what communities spend to house, train, educate, counsel, treat, employ and otherwise transition ex-offenders to law-abiding, productive lives. When a parent goes to prison there are "hidden" costs for welfare, foster care, legal services, family court.
In response to the unsustainability of mass incarceration and high recidivism rates public-private coalitions have pushed for more proactive reentry efforts both behind the wall and outside it.
The 2003 federal Serious and Violent Offender Reentry Initiative (SVORI) and the 2008 Second Chance Act, both made hundreds of millions of dollars in grant monies available to reentry providers. Second Chance also established the National Reentry Resource Center, which offers education, training and technical assistance to providers, large and small.
These measures have brought new players onto the scene of a varied reentry landscape. In Nebraska, providers range in size, approach, scope and service area. Most are human-social service organizations or faith-based groups. The largest is Christian Heritage, a Lincoln, Neb. nonprofit that's new to reentry yet has secured major Second Chance grants to fund programs that target reconnecting fathers with children and restoring families.
"The passing of the Second Chance Act has made some impact on our reentry efforts," says Layne Gissler. For example, he says a new parenting program for incarcerated fathers administered by Christian Heritage "has been very beneficial.
"Outside of that," he says, "our approach to reentry has remained the same. We utilize a multi-faceted approach that includes mental health and substance abuse programming, educational, vocational, parenting, life skills and other programs to address deficits. With the exception of the parenting program in our male facilities, these programs were in our facilities prior to passage of the Second Chance Act."
The issue's further come into focus through: a 2008 evaluation of Nebraska's Serious and Violent Reentry Program by UNO's School of Criminal Justice; the Douglas County Reentry Task Force, now reformed as the Reentry Initiatives Council; and the monthly Reentry Table Talk series at Metropolitan Community College.
Gissler said both the federal reentry initiative and the UNO study "helped educate, sharpen the focus and provide the necessary foundation for reentry in Nebraska," adding, "There was a significant increase in the department's long range commitment to reentry and the subsequent shift in emphasis based on risk."
Increasingly, corrections works collaboratively with the community. The shared goal is reducing recidivism and improving quality of life outcomes. NDCS had fairly robust programs before, but is doing more with partners like UNO and Christian Heritage now that more dollars are available from Second Chance and other sources.
On the outside, ex-offenders encounter many hurdles piecing a life together in a fast-moving world that doesn't cater to them. Jim Erwin of Christian Heritage advises inmates, their loved ones, sponsors and caseworkers work months in advance of release to line up leads on things like housing and employment. He and others working in the field say a safety plan and a support network is vital, The more on the margin someone lives, the greater the risk for recidivism. Substance abuse, family disputes or just being around negative influences can derail things.
"Folks can become very discouraged quickly if there's not preparation," says Mickles.
A big hurdle ex-offenders in Nebraska face is accessing vital records. There's no central office to get a social security card, birth certificate, driver's license, work permit. It presently takes days to obtain IDs from far-flung agencies. Support for a one-stop-shop is a hot topic and focus of the Douglas County Reentry Initiatives Council.
Douglas County Commissioner and UNO Transformation director Chris Rodgers
County Commissioner Chris Rodgers, who sits on the Council's board, says Heartland Workforce Solutions in Omaha offers the framework for a one-stop-shop and the county's seeking funds to help consolidate services for ex-offenders under the Heartland umbrella.
"There's a need," says Rodgers, who oversees the UNO Transformation Project. He says the Council looks at reentry in broad-based terms as well. "Our job is to identify issues and gaps and solve them within the system instead of reinventing the wheel." If he's learned anything it's that successful reentry is up to the individual.
"It's not magic, it's hard work," he says. "We're not going to give you this yellow brick road outline to get there. What we do is lay you out a path with opportunity, but you have to put the work in."
Ray Kyles of You Art Not Alone says, "Just like everything else, what you put in is what you get out. You become institutionalized the moment you get locked up by the police because from there on everything is given to you. Once you're released from prison you still expect people to keep giving you. But what have you given yourself or what are you willing to give back to society? I'm not going to hold your hand, it just doesn't work that way. I have a list of services gentlemen can go to for assistance. I get a hot jobs list every Monday."
Christian Heritage's Jim Erwin says, "remember to empower, not enable" ex-offenders.
To that end, Metro produces a reentry resources book it distributes to correctional facilities and community service providers to give inmates, ex-offenders, caseworkers and sponsors contacts for statewide programs and services.
"If an ex-inmate has a job, place to live and family-community support," says Gissler, "the odds he or she will return to prison are much lower. A pro-social network is needed upon release and this has been provided in part by civic and faith-based groups. They have teams set up to assist ex-inmates with securing housing and employment."
Providers who establish bonds behind the walls are better placed to help offenders once they're on the outside, say reentry veterans. Consistently being there builds trust. "People need to understand the more they make themselves visible and empower the individuals inside in preparation to come out," says Mickles, "the more effective their reentry programs on the outside will be." Neither her program nor any others work in isolation. None has the capacity to address every need.
"We cant do it alone," Mickles says. "That person coming out needs a job, a place to live. They may need drug rehabilitation. They may need legal assistance to get their kids back. Things like that. We have to work with all the entities to assist that individual with all the areas they need to experience a successful reentry."
As Mickles does Compassion in Action by herself, she acts as a clearinghouse by referring ex-offenders to needed services she doesn't provide. Kyles works much the same way.
Regardless of size or resources, reentry providers work collaboratively.
"We all need each other, there's plenty of pain to go around, and we all have our areas of expertise, and the better we work together the better the population will be served," says Mickles, who's hopeful about the momentum surrounding reentry. "In doing reentry here for 30 years this is the first time Omaha is really on task as far as working together and helping each other do what we do best."
Recently, some facilitator associations and forums have emerged to help bring reentry players at the same table for enhanced communication and coordination. The Reentry Alliance of Nebraska is one. The Reentry Initiatives Council is another. Omaha's Northeast Weed & Seed program held a spring reentry workshop at Metro that included representatives from the Omaha Police Department, Heartland Workforce Solutions and the Douglas County Department of Corrections as well as ex-offenders and their advocates.
Since 2009 Metro liaison Tommie Wilson has organized the Reentry Table Talk the third Wednesday of every month. At the May 18 forum 48 attendees represented some two dozen organizations, including Eastern Nebraska Action Community Partnership (ENCAP). Some state corrections officials were there. Mickles was present. Christian Heritage's Jim Erwin was the featured speaker.
Erwin says he attends in order "to build relationships" with other providers. Diane Good-Collins, who with her husband Steve operates ReLeasT transition home for women in Nebraska City, says, "The relationships I've made in this room have helped people beyond this room. You never know who you're going to meet and how that's going to affect someone else."
As an ex-felon, Good-Collins is among those who've "been there-done that" and now work with ex-offenders. Entrepreneur Rodney Prince is another, though his role is more as advocate and watchdog. His was among the few critical voices heard at the event as he challenged those present "to be coordinated and streamlined," adding, "We need you to be on the same page." Activist Eliga Ali and Black Men United president Willie Hamilton expressed concerns about the effects that mass incarceration of black males has on families and communities.
Wilson says some sessions can get rather heated. It's all in the name of continued dialogue.
"We started out with four people talking about what we needed to do," says Wilson, who has a grandson in prison, "and now the meetings average 45-50. I gather people here to talk about what's going on with reentry, to bridge that connection to find out where resources are, to learn who's doing what, to collaborate. I also bring to the table ex-offenders. If they're having difficulties finding things they can connect with people and get into programs."
Programs are one thing, reality is another. Because life happens, how an ex-offender responds to events or situations will ultimately determine his or her fate.
Rodgers cautions change is "not a one size fits all" proposition. "People transform in different stages."
Mickles agrees, saying, "The term for each individual to experience success is quite different. Also, the definition for success is quite different. It may not be no recidivism. The person may need to reoffend in order to be successful. I've learned to redefine certain things." She says a woman she worked with reoffended several times before going straight, "and she's now giving back to the community in a major way" as a reentry provider.
Good-Collins, tells a similar story of a chronic reoffender who's finally turned her life around. After hundreds of lock ups, then being homeless, Good-Collins says the client is now in a stable home environment and working. "She got her first paycheck in over 30 years. She's doing awesome."
"With that individual acceptance and lack of preconceived anything," Mickles says, "individuals tend to find themselves. But society needs to know there is a cost."

So you've sat down and filled out your tax return this year, but now you've got another problem. You owe Uncle Sam more money. Ouch. It's obviously better to get a refund or pretty much break even, but there are times when things change and you use TurboTax to figure out what you owe, you need to come up with some extra cash. Here's what you need to know.
Above all else, you need to pay what you owe by the tax filing deadline, which this year is April 18th. I know what you're thinking. You can just file an extension and get more time, right? Sadly, that isn't how it works. An extension does give you additional time to file your return, but it does not extend the payment deadline. When you don't file your taxes on time you're hit twice.
First, there is a failure to pay penalty. The penalty is 0.5% for each month the tax is not paid in full. There is no maximum limit to the failure-to-pay penalty. The penalty is calculated from the original payment deadline. Second, the IRS assesses interest on unpaid taxes. The interest is calculated based on how much tax you owe, computed daily, at a current rate of 4 percent per year.
As you can see, not paying by the deadline can make matters even worse, so the sooner you realize you owe money, the faster you should get going on coming up with the cash to pay by the deadline. If something doesn't seem right with your taxes and the deadline is looming you may still want to file an extension so you can have a little more time to go over your return, but at the very least you better mail the check for the amount it says you owe right now. You can always get money back later if you realize there was a mistake.
If the amount is substantial and you just don't have the money available to pay what you owe in full, you may want to look into setting up a payment plan with the IRS. The IRS does offer an installment agreement that allows you to pay your taxes over time, but it can still cost you.
You will spare yourself the stiff penalties of not paying on time, but there is a fee to enroll in the program. It's $105 to set up an agreement, or just $52 if you establish automatic payment through your bank account. There are additional fees to make changes to the agreement once in place. Obviously, you need to weigh your options based on how much tax you owe. If you're having trouble coming up with $500 by the tax deadline it may not make sense to pay the setup fee for the installment plan if you can have the money to pay in full a few weeks after the deadline. Here, the interest and penalties of just being slightly late is less than the fee.
If for whatever reason you don't set up an installment plan you can always use funds from alternative sources to pay your tax bill in full. If you have some emergency savings you could use that. Or maybe try to sell some stuff you don't need to get some extra money, and so on. What you typically don't want to do is tap into sources of money that will penalize you or also charge you interest. For example, paying by credit card. Unless you have a zero percent or very low interest card, the rates on a credit card may outweigh the penalties assessed by the IRS. Granted, it's better to owe a bank money versus the IRS, but be careful when weighing that option. Another thing people mistakenly do is tap into retirement accounts to pay Uncle Sam. This can be even worse because most retirement accounts will penalize you for early withdrawals, which you may also owe even more taxes on that amount next year. In addition, you're jeopardizing your future just to settle a one-time bill. Don't rob Peter to pay Paul.
Whatever you decide, the sooner you find out you owe taxes the better. You still have a few weeks so if you haven't done your taxes yet, get on it. If it looks like you will owe some money this year you'll have a few weeks to either get some money together or put a plan in place to come up with the money or get in touch with the IRS about a payment plan.
hi, I did my taxes on turbotax and received a small refund. But, it is also says I owed a penalty for cashing out my 401k. But, I haven't received a notice and it didn't tell me how I can pay it. It was also just a pop up type of notice instead of anything that said I owed money. How can I check if I really owe this money and then how do I pay it if I never received a notice?
There typically is a penalty for cashing out your 401K before you turn 59-1/2. The penalty is 10% additional tax unless you qualify for a hardship. The penalty is calculated with your other tax liability. You would see it on page 2 of your 1040 form under Other Taxes line 59.
Where was the pop up message, in turbo tax? How long after you cashed out the 401K?
i filed my retun and I also owe money. I didnt know Turbo tax was going to pay my money directly as i dont see anything on the tax return and they gave me vouchers attached to the return so i thought i set up a payment plan and money wont be deducted. I went into the IRS epay and paid my money in full as I had the funds available. Now my account shows that the withdrawal of that same amount twice. What is going on? No where on the turbo tax website under my account do i see that there was a payment processed and status doesnt show anything either. I dont know if IRS does a hold of the same amount. I need to resolve this asap because I paid the amount twice is what it seems like on my account and I need to resolve this ASAP. Its a big amount and I cant get ahold of anyone. Please assist.
i owe 206$ federal this year mostly because of the health care penalty.
if i were to just not pay how much would it be by next return? and estimate would be nice.
Filed with turbotax this year and owed the state. I believe I set up payment thru turbo tax, but can't remember. (Lot of family strife at the same time) how do I find out if it's been set up?
The IRS sent a letter in December 2014 saying I owed money for gambling not reported in 2013 and for taking a credit for my sons college which turbo tax said I indeed can take. I sent ammended return which showed win loss statement for gambling and an itemized schedule, which showed they owed me money. The IRS sent me a letter in response to my ammended return saying they will contact me again once resolved , I need not do anything for now. I did THIS years tax return and its says received and approved return with full amount of refund for this year and a date they will deposit refund.How can that be when they say I owe money from last year?
They may have agreed with your amended tax return or they initially approved your 2014 tax refund and did not match up your previous amount they said you owe. If you did send in your amended return I would follow up with them regarding the status.
If I owe money to the state with Turbo Tax take it out of my federal tax money?
Once your tax return was e-filed and if it said 4/15 there is no way to change it.
I owe the state money and set up to have the money come out on April 15. I won't have the money in my account until the 18th. Is there someone I can call to push the date out to the 18th?
I e-filed my federal return and it was accepted. I owed and amount and printed the 1040-v form,but do I need to enclose a copy of my return and w-2′ 1099's? I thought it said somewhere not to send them because I e-filed?
No you don't need to enclose a copy of your tax return if you e-filed. Make sure you include your social security number and tax year payment is for.
What if I did my turbo tax and it said I owe money for state. I set it up to come out on the 1st of the month but it has not came out yet. What do I need to do.
why does it say we owe taxes we've done everything the same as last year. cause nothing has changed, and how do they figure we owe that much, and how can we speak to someone about it. it's just not making since why we owe foe?
You can review this list and see if any of these apply to you and also compare your previous years tax return and see if the line items have the same amounts.
IRS says I still owe money! I used turbo tax. What went wrong? How can I speak to a person? I can't find a phone number to call!!!
if i file today can i send what i owe at tax dead line?
I have always received a refund via Turbo-Tax, but this year I owe the IRS. Can I complete the transaction electronically through Turbo-Tax (essentially the reverse of a refund)? Or do I have to print it out and send in a check?
You can file electronically whether you owe or receive a refund. TurboTax will guide you on how to send what you owe.
This may help Evelyn as well as others. I find that I owe more than expected so here is a tip for others. If you do have a well-established credit card they periodically send you interest free "checks" you can deposit into your bank account and write a check for your taxes once the credit card "Check" clears your bank. Around this time of year checks are around 0% for 12 mos or 1.99% for about 18 mos. BUT there is a 4-5% transaction fee for the entire amount borrowed. It takes awhile for these checks to clear so if you need it faster call your credit card company to get them to electronically deposit them into your checking account. Same rules apply or so. A bank "interest only" loan against one's home gives time to pay off the principal and the interest is tax deductable. I'm in no way a tax advisor so get professional advice before you try any suggestion. All I really know for sure is I HAVE TO PAY UNCLE SAM INSTEAD OF VACATIONING this year!!!!
Very Easy to use and quick. Try it you'll like it!. Thanks TurboTax.
Can I put what I owe the IRS on my Master Card?
We need to set up a payment plan for the taxes we owe.


During the last week I've been running a competition with F&F where you guys got to send me style dilemmas on Twitter and i had to pick one to answer with items from the F&F website. I had soooo many tweets and i really wish i could answer them all, but the one i thought would be most helpful was the one from Chloe where she asked ''How can i bring some brighter colours in to my wardrobe but keep that A/W feel?'' I thought this is something a lot of people maybe think about and could hopefully help some others out too so i hope you like what I've picked and it maybe inspires you a little bit when it comes to updating that A/W wardrobe!
The red dress is so hot and versatile too!

This Target chambray shirt has been a serious game changer to my wardrobe. The loose-fitting fabric makes it easy to pair with skirts, jeans and even over dresses. One of my main goals of 2015 was to upgrade my wardrobe with more work friendly pieces that could also double as casual staples as well.

Masakr v Kamenci Podolském byl masovou vraždou Židů během druhé světové války. Kamenec Podolský, město na západní Ukrajině (tehdy součástí Sovětského svazu), byl okupovaný německými silami během invaze Sovětského svazu v červnu roku 1941.

Krátce poté, co Maďarsko (německý spojenec) 27. června 1941 vyhlásilo válku Sovětskému svazu, rozhodli se úředníci zodpovědní za cizí státní příslušníky žijící v Maďarsku vyhostit cizí Židy. Většinou to byli polští a ruští Židé, také mezi nimi bylo mnoho uprchlíků ze západní Evropy. Židé, u kterých nebylo snadné zjistit maďarské občanství, byli stejně ohroženi deportací. Výsledkem bylo, že mnoho maďarských Židů, kteří nemohli doložit své občanství, bylo také vyhoštěno. Mnoho židovských komunit, zejména v Zakarpatské Ukrajině (tenkrát pod maďarskou nadvládou), bylo deportováno v plném rozsahu.

Maďaři naložili Židy do nákladních vozů a odvezli je do podkarpatské Jasině (tehdy Kőrösmező nedaleko tehdejších maďarsko-polských hranic), kde byli převezeni přes bývalou sovětskou hranici a předáni Němcům. Od 10. srpna 1941 bylo z Maďarska do Německem ovládaného území deportováno přibližně 14 000 Židů. Později v měsíci byly předány další 4 000 Židů. V německých rukou byli Židé nuceni pochodovat z Kolomyje do Kamence Podolského.

Jednotky Einsatzgruppen v Kamenci Podolském a vojáci pod vedením SS- und Polizeiführera pro jižní oblast, SS generála Friedricha Jeckelna, vykonávaly 27. - 28. srpna masové vraždy deportovaných a místních Židů. Podle zprávy Jeckelna bylo v této akci zavražděno 23 600 Židů, což byla první masová vražda ve snaze o konečné řešení židovské otázky.

The British Phonographic Industry, which represents the sector, said a "strong" agreement is needed to make sure music imports and exports are not negatively impacted by Britain's EU exit.
It voiced its fears as it announced record exports for 2017 – a 12% increase on the previous year to £408m.
This is the highest figure since records began 18 years ago.
The record labels' association credited Ed Sheeran's album Divide topping the world best-selling list and Rory Graham – better known as Rag'n'Bone Man – taking the fourth spot with his debut Human.
It also pointed to top ten album sales for Sam Smith and Harry Styles.
The body said the overall popularity of British music abroad meant one in eight streamed, physical and downloaded albums purchased around the world in 2017 was by a UK artist.
But Geoff Taylor, the BPI's chief executive, said a good Brexit deal was needed to enable UK music to thrive after March 2019.
"Our music not only enriches the lives of fans around the world, it makes a major contribution to the UK economy through overseas sales and by attracting numerous visitors to the UK.
"With Brexit approaching, music can help to showcase what is exciting about the UK as we forge new trading relationships, but only if our government supports us by ensuring a strong Brexit deal that enables artists to tour freely, robustly protects music rights, and prevents physical music products being impeded in transit," he said.

Trash-talking Starbucks' reusable cups
Monday, October 14, 2013 - 3:30am
Starbucks cup by Ivana di Carlo via Flickr
I have a long-standing gripe with Starbucks' Environmental Affairs Director Jim Hanna and up until now I've tried to keep quiet about it. I've tried to stay respectful. I've tried to be civil. But all Jim wants to do is talk trash.
I can talk trash, too. I'm on my fifth "reusable" cup. The first one got thrown away in the green room at our GreenBiz Forum earlier this year. The second one had "NOT TRASH" written on its side in indelible ink, but when I stepped away for a break at another conference it disappeared. My son Wes decorated my third cup in day-glo colors but to no avail. My fourth one got thrown out by a maid in my hotel room – in Seattle. Now I'm on number 5 that a barista wrote my order on and I've had to black it out like some redacted FBI document (I'm not only a chai tea latte guy; I can swing with a cappuccino now and then).
Don't get me wrong. I like the cup. I like the heft. I like the lid. I'd just like to have one stick around long enough to be truly re-useable. So I called Jim to find out more about the cup and give some customer feedback.
The cup conundrum
Starbucks beverages fill approximately 4 billion cups globally each year. But until recently most of those cups end up in the trash. As Hanna explained, Starbucks has been working on solutions to this problem even before it started hosting its Cup Summits at MIT. The summits began in 2009 when the company engaged Peter Senge along with a wide range of industry leaders, government officials and others in an attempt to explore a systems-based approach to cup recycling.
The challenge with recycling the cups is not as simple as putting a recycling bin in every store. Once you put your cup in the bin, it needs to go some place where it can actually be recycled. Recycling infrastructure varies widely around the world and even from city-to-city and town-to-town. That has put Jim and other Starbucks folks on the road talking with trash haulers in an attempt to bring cup recycling efforts to scale. Once they assess that a municipality has sufficient infrastructure, Starbucks can do their part by installing recycling bins. While 24 percent of stores had front-of-store recycling last year, the company's goal is to have in-store recycling for all company-owned locations by 2015.
Will that be plastic, paper or ceramic?
The reason the recycling target is so important is that the company has identified a "2 percent barrier" when it comes to reusable cups. In 2008 the company set a goal to serve 25 percent of all beverages in reusable cups by 2015. This included cups customers brought with them as well as "for here" mugs that stayed in the store. The "for here" mug usage proved difficult to track and the company modified their goal to focus on increasing the use of personal cups.
In 2011 and 2012, the percent of beverages served in personal cups remained static at 1.5 percent. The company has set a goal to reach 5 percent by 2015 but there are still significant barriers. Personal mugs can cost between 12 and 19 dollars. That led to the development of the one-dollar reusable and recyclable cup.
The $1 cup launched a year ago and is less expensive than other cups because it's made of a lighter material and less of it. Starbucks describes it as a low-cost way to help make a difference.
It's a solid cup, but you need to be a detective to find out it's dishwasher safe. The company's official statement is that it can be re-used thirty times. Unofficially, the cup's manufacturer has test washed cups over 170 times without any impact on performance. The cups and lids contain no BPA and are 100 percent polypropylene, perhaps the most inert beverage resin out there so nothing leeches into your coffee at boiling temperatures. And Hanna assures me that polypropylene has the lowest manufacturing carbon footprint of any plastic cup.
So what's my problem with the cup? It's that it looks just like the traditional Starbucks paper cup. Trust me, I'm hooked on the dollar cup. Just try going back to the paper cup after a few lattes in the dollar cup. It just doesn't feel as good and that's feedback I've heard from many customers. Yet when I ask about creating a different color lid or something to make it more distinctive, Hanna explains that the similarity between the paper and dollar cups is one of the biggest selling points. The fact that it does look so similar to the company's existing paper cups fits into the longstanding habits and expectations of their customers.
OK, I get it, Jim. I'm not asking you to take the white lid away from people not open to change. But I'll pay you another dollar for a Starbucks green lid. Or a blue autism awareness lid. Or a pink cancer awareness lid. Or any other color you think of that's not white.
Here's the challenge to our readers. Go to the My Starbucks Idea web site and like my post, "Give the dollar cup a different color lid!" Help save my cup. Thank you.

Russian Helicopters flight tests second Mi-171A2
By Anthony James on	 13th November 2015 Helicopters & Rotorcraft
Russian Helicopters, part of the state corporation Rostec, has started flight testing of a second Mi-171A2 prototype (a medium multi-role rotorcraft) at its Mil Moscow Helicopter Plant.
The Mi-171A2 is a development of the earlier medium multi-role Mi-8/Mi17 series. The power plant is a FADEC VK-2500PS-03 engine and with an auxiliary power plant by Safir, which enables the engine to be started at altitudes of up to 6,000m. The main rotor systems of the entire Mi-8/17 series have been completely overhauled.
The use of composite blades, as well as upgrades to the swashplate and bushing, has reduced the total weight of the main rotor and increased thrust by 700kg. An X-shaped tail rotor with composite blades has also been added to increase responsiveness and reduce noise.
These upgrades increased the helicopter's total take-off weight by 1,000kg in category A, the maximum cargo payload on an external sling has increased by 25% to 5,000kg, and the helicopter's cruising, maximum speeds and flight times have all increased.
The Mi-171A2 has a KBO-17 avionics suite, enabling around the clock operations, including in poor weather. This avionics suite is a 'glass cockpit' with five multifunction LCDs. The increased automation has reduced the crew from three to two people.

Justia US Law US Codes and Statutes New Hampshire Revised Statutes 2016 New Hampshire Revised Statutes Title LVI - PROBATE COURTS AND DECEDENTS' ESTATES Chapter 564-B - NEW HAMPSHIRE TRUST CODE Section 564-B:4-418 - Trustee's Power to Decant Trust.
Section 564-B:4-418 - Trustee's Power to Decant Trust.
NH Rev Stat § 564-B:4-418 (2016) What's This?
564-B:4-418 Trustee's Power to Decant Trust. – (a) Subject to the limitations provided in this section, a trustee has the power to decant a trust. The power to decant is the power to appoint some or all of the trust property of a trust ("first trust'') to another trust ("second trust''). A trustee's power to decant is a power with respect to an administrative matter of the trust.
(b) The beneficiaries of the second trust may include only one or more of the beneficiaries of the first trust. The second trust may exclude one or more of the beneficiaries of the first trust. A person is not a beneficiary of the second trust solely by reason of being a permissible appointee of a power of appointment under the terms of the second trust.
(c) Under the terms of the second trust, a person may have a power of appointment if (1) that person was a beneficiary of the first trust or (2) under the terms of the first trust, that person held a power of appointment either in a fiduciary or nonfiduciary capacity.
(d) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, the terms of the second trust may provide that a trustee has discretion to distribute income or principal, and the terms of the second trust may impose a standard or no standard on the trustee's discretion regardless of whether the terms of the first trust imposed a standard on the trustee's discretion to distribute income or principal. If the first trust is a charitable trust and the terms of the first trust impose a standard on the trustee's discretion to distribute income or principal, then the terms of the second trust shall impose the same standard on the trustee's discretion to distribute income or principal, unless the director of charitable trusts expressly consents to the modification or elimination of that standard.
(e) The second trust may have a term that is longer than the first trust.
(f) A trustee may not decant to the extent that the terms of the second trust are inconsistent with a material purpose of the first trust.
(g)(1) A trustee may not decant to the extent that the terms of the second trust reduce or eliminate a vested interest of a beneficiary of the first trust.
(C) a noncontingent, unconditional right to receive an ascertainable portion of the trust property upon the trust's termination.
(3) In addition to other possible contingencies, a beneficiary's right to receive a portion of the trust property upon the trust's termination is contingent if, by reason of the trustee's discretionary power to make distributions or under other terms of the trust, any person other than the beneficiary or the beneficiary's estate could receive that portion unless the beneficiary survives a specified date or a specified event.
(h) If a transfer to the first trust qualified for a deduction, credit, exclusion, or exemption for purposes of any income, gift, estate, or generation-skipping transfer tax, then a trustee may decant only to the extent that the decanting would not jeopardize that deduction, credit, exclusion, or exemption.
(i) If a settlor of the first trust or a beneficiary of the first trust is an applicant for public benefits or receives public benefits and the settlor's or beneficiary's eligibility or qualification for those public benefits is dependent on the nature and scope of his or her rights, powers, and interests in the first trust, then a trustee may decant only to the extent that the decanting would not jeopardize the settlor's or beneficiary's eligibility or qualification for those public benefits.
(4) the trustee's discretion to make those distributions is not limited by an ascertainable standard.
(4) the trustee does not have the discretion to make or participate in making distributions in a manner that will discharge his or her legal support obligations, unless the terms of second trust impose the same limitation on that trustee's discretion.
(5) except as provided in subsection (d), the terms of the first trust impose a standard on the trustee's discretion to distribute income or principal.
(m) A trustee of a charitable trust or a trust in which a charitable organization has a vested interest shall notify the director of charitable trusts of a proposed decanting, and the trustee shall provide that notice in writing at least 30 days before the effective date of the decanting. A trustee of a noncharitable trust may notify a beneficiary of a proposed decanting, but does not have any duty to do so. The right of any beneficiary to object to a proposed decanting terminates if the beneficiary does not notify the trustee of an objection within 60 days after the proposal was sent to the beneficiary but only if the proposal informed the beneficiary of the right to object and the time allowed for objection.
(n) A trustee's power to decant may be expanded, restricted, eliminated, or otherwise altered by the terms of the trust. A nonjudicial settlement agreement made in accordance with RSA 564-B:1-111, however, may only restrict or eliminate a trustee's power to decant. Except as otherwise provided under the terms of the trust, a trustee's power to decant is in addition to any other powers conferred by the terms of the trust, this chapter, or the laws of this state. This section does not expand, restrict, eliminate, or otherwise alter any power that, with respect to a trust, a person holds in a nonfiduciary capacity.
(o) A trustee does not have a duty to decant or an ongoing duty to consider whether to decant. In exercising the power to decant, a trustee has a duty to exercise the power in a manner that is consistent with the settlor's intent as expressed in the terms of the trust, and the trustee shall act in accordance with the trustee's duties under this chapter and the terms of the first trust.
(p) A trustee may exercise the power to decant, without court approval, the consent of the settlor, or the consent of any of the beneficiaries of the first trust. A trustee or any other interested person may ask a court to approve a trustee's exercise of the power to decant.
