British get cold feet over leaving the European Union….
This Dog said back a while ago that the Brit's would work this out…..
THAT appears to NOT be the case…..
Increasingly the British public and lawmakers are finding that a break from the European Union isn't what they thought it would be….
German Chancellor Merkel and the rest of the EU leaders have played hard against the move….
And it is dawning on people over there that they may have wanted to go it alone?
But in doing so?
They would be hurting themselves….
A second vote is in the works, it appears, to overturn the first one…..
The 632 seats in England, Scotland and Wales were examined for the study. It found that 112 had switched from Leave to Remain. The new analysis suggests there are now 341 seats with majority Remain support, up from 229 seats at the referendum.
One seat has switched support in Scotland and 97 have switched in England, while 14 of the 40 seats in Wales have changed from Leave to Remain. Overall, the model puts Remain on 53% support, with 47% backing Leave.
It suggests that there is now a majority for Remain in Scotland and Wales – meaning greater pressure on the union following the UK's departure. Young voters and those from ethnic minorities have also driven the switch to Remain.
It comes with the prime minister still having to negotiate Commons votes over Brexit later this year and also the prospect of a parliamentary vote over the final Brexit deal. Plans are already being drawn up by May's opponents to try to force a new referendum or election.
On Saturday Liberal Democrat leader Sir Vince Cable said those opponents had to work together to bring about a chance for people to have another say. "We have to work across party frontiers," he said, speaking in Bristol at the first of a series of regional rallies in a planned summer of action by the People's Vote campaign.
Data scientists compiling the study used a technique known as multi-level regression and post-stratification, similar to that used by YouGov in its pre-election model, which proved far more accurate than conventional opinion polls. However, the polling sample used by YouGov for its election model was much bigger, covering some 50,000 people.
Among the constituencies to switch from Leave to Remain is that of Boris Johnson, the former foreign secretary and face of the Leave campaign. Support for Remain in his Uxbridge and South Ruislip constituency has risen from 43.6% to 51.4%, according to the new model……

Q: ASP.NET Looking to dynamically control Jquery multi tab search I have the following Jquery which has 4 tabs which have 4 different searches
i.e.
1) Product Name Search
2) Supplier Search
etc
This is the Jquery

And here is the tabs

By Product Name

By Supplier

By EAN Code

By IPU Code

        <asp:textbox id="searchProductName" runat="server"></asp:textBox> <asp:Button ID="btnProductSearch" runat="server" Text="Search Product Name"  CssClass="search" OnClick="ProductSearch_Click"  UseSubmitBehavior="true" CausesValidation="false" />

        <asp:textbox id="searchSupplierName" runat="server"></asp:textBox> <asp:Button ID="btnSupplierSearch" runat="server" Text="Search Supplier Name"  CssClass="search" OnClick="SupplierSearch_Click" />

       <asp:textbox id="searchEANCode" runat="server"></asp:textBox> <asp:Button ID="btnEANSearch" runat="server" Text="Search EAN Code"  CssClass="search" OnClick="EANSearch_Click" />

       <asp:textbox id="searchIPUCode" runat="server"></asp:textBox> <asp:Button ID="btnIPUSearch" runat="server" Text="Search IPU Code"  CssClass="search" OnClick="IPUSearch_Click" />

Now the problem is everytime I perform a search i.e. in the second tab Supplier the page refreshes and the tabs gets reset to first tab.
In my onclick method, is there anyway I get set the tabs to display the second one when the page refreshes.
i.e.
    Protected Sub SupplierSearch_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
    ' Filter by Supplier
    If searchSupplierName.Text.Length > 0 Then
        srcProductListPerCustomer.FilterExpression = " (supplier_name like '%" + searchSupplierName.Text.ToString & "%')"
        productListTable.DataBind()
    End If
End Sub

A: You could try adding a hash to the end of your url like http://www.myurl.com/page.aspx#tab2.  Then in the document.ready function you can select the tab that they clicked on.  You may want to look into this example of using the jQuery BBQ plugin.  (I've used that plugin before on other projects and it has worked great.)

A: What you can do is, add a public property to your page class say ActiveTabId, this property will contains the id of tab to set active, by default you can set it to say 1 i.e. show first tab on start... And when postback occurs from say Supplier tab set it to 2 and in your aspx page, within javascript code block call the .addClass() and .show() methods of appropriate tab.....
In your code behind:
Private _activeTabId As String

    Public Property ActiveTabId() As String
        Get
            Return _activeTabId
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As String)
            _activeTabId = value
        End Set
    End Property

    Protected Sub form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles form1.Load
        Me._activeTabId = 1
    End Sub

Protected Sub SupplierSearch_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
        'set tab id
        Me._activeTabId = 2

        ' Filter by Supplier
        If searchSupplierName.Text.Length > 0 Then
            srcProductListPerCustomer.FilterExpression = " (supplier_name like '%" + searchSupplierName.Text.ToString & "%')"
            productListTable.DataBind()
        End If
    End Sub

and in your aspx page, within javascript code blocks:

Between javascript code can be optimized but my version is just for the purpose of guideline...

496 F. 2d 927 - Fletcher v. Rhode Island Hospital Trust National Bank
496 F2d 927 Fletcher v. Rhode Island Hospital Trust National Bank
496 F.2d 927
Barbara FLETCHER et al., etc., Plaintiffs, Appellants,
RHODE ISLAND HOSPITAL TRUST NATIONAL BANK et al.,
Defendants, Appellees.
United States Court of Appeals, First Circuit.
Argued March 5, 1974.
Decided May 9, 1974.
James L. O'Neill, Providence, R.I., with whom Bucci, O'Neill & Coia and Ralph J. Gonnella, Providence, R.I., were on brief, for appellants.
Edwin H. Hastings, Providence, R.I., with whom Tillinghast, Collins & Graham, Providence, R.I., was on brief, for Old Stone Trust Co., appellee.
Stephen A. Fanning, Jr., Providence, R.I., with whom Deming E. Sherman and Edwards & Angell, Providence, R.I., were on brief, for Rhode Island Hospital Trust National Bank and Bank-Americard Assn. of Rhode Island, Inc., appellees.
Before COFFIN, Chief Judge, McENTEE and CAMPBELL, Circuit Judges.
LEVIN H. CAMPBELL, Circuit Judge.
Barbara Fletcher had a checking account at the Rhode Island Hospital Trust National Bank, and Marion Sass had such an account at the Old Stone Trust Co. Both have alleged in a complaint filed in the district court that, without request, the respective banks sent them each a BankAmericard; that each bank later claimed an indebtedness arising from use of the card; and that each bank, without notice to the cardholder or her approval, set off the amount in her checking account against the debt from use of the card.1
Neither plaintiff alleges that she did not owe the card indebtedness to the bank at the time her deposit was set off in partial satisfaction. Rather each contends that the set off was unconstitutional because without notice and hearing, see Fuentes v. Shevin, 407 U.S. 67, 92 S.Ct. 1983, 32 L.Ed.2d 556 (1972) and, alternatively, that the failure to disclose the right to set off when issuing the credit card was in violation of the Consumer Credit Protection Act (the Act), 15 U.S.C. 1637(a)(7). Damages, an injunction, and a declaration are sought. Upon defendants' motion, the district court dismissed for failure to state a claim, F.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(6), and plaintiffs appealed.2
* Count 1, the constitutional claim, belongs to a growing number of post-Fuentes attacks on private collection procedures. Brought under 42 U.S.C 1983, it alleges that 'the right of banker's set off against deposit funds as recognized and enforced in the common law and not prohibited in the statutory law' violates the Fourteenth Amendment by authorizing seizure of deposited funds without prior notice and opportunity to be heard. The district court held, however, that the banks' actions were not 'under color of' state law within the meaning of 1983.3 Citing 'over-whelming authority at the present time' that repossession of goods under a conditional sales contract, pursuant to Section 9-503 of the Uniform Commercial Code, is not state action, it said,
'the exercise by the defendant banks of their common-law right of set off is . . . even farther removed from any state involvement . . .. Here we do not even have . . . the enactment of a statute. These actions by the defendants were purely private actions in furtherance of their private interest.'
It is not disputed that a claim under 1983 requires 'state action'. Civil Rights Cases, 109 U.S. 3, 3 S.Ct. 18, 27 L.Ed. 835 (1883). A defendant, as the statute provides, must have acted 'under color of' state law; and for a plaintiff to be deprived of a right secured by the Fourteenth Amendment, the state itself, not a mere private party, must have taken property without due process of law.4
Plaintiffs would have us find state action from (1) the sanctioning in Rhode Island of the practice of bank set off, and (2) the state's own involvement with the banking industry. We shall discuss the two theories separately. As did the district court, and as have most other federal courts, including the second, eighth and ninth circuits, in analogous self-help cases, we conclude that the challenged action was private, not state, and so we affirm the dismissal of Count 1. See Bichel Optical Laboratories, Inc. v. Marquette Nat'l Bank, 487 F.2d 906 (8th Cir. 1973); Jojola v. Wells Fargo Bank, No. C-71 900 SAW (N.D.Cal. May 8, 1973); cf. Bond v. Dentzer, 494 F.2d 302 (2d Cir. 1974); Adams v. Southern Cal. First Nat'l Bank, 492 F.2d 324 (9th Cir. 1973); Shirley v. State Nat'l Bank, 493 F.2d 739 (2d Cir. 1974).5
State Sanction of Set Off
In Westerly Community Credit Union v. Industrial Nat'l Bank, 103 R.I. 662, 9667-668, 240 A.2d 586, 589-590 (1969), the Supreme Court of Rhode Island stated,
'As a general rule a bank may look to deposits in its possession for repayment of any material indebtedness owed to it on the part of a depositor. Such a right grows out of the contractual relationship existing between the depositor and the bank which arises at the time the depositor delivers and commits money to the bank's custody . . .. The right of a bank to apply deposits to extinguish a debt owed to it by a depositor is referable to principles of equity and in some states receives additional support from statutory law; . . .'
Plaintiffs argue that recognition of set off changed the common law so as to allow a bank to deprive citizens of property without resort to courts.6 But we disagree that Westerly reflects a break with tradition. Plaintiffs rely upon cases dealing with set off as a pleading device, a different matter. As used here to describe a banker's right growing from his contract to offset mutual debts, the term refers to a familiar self-help practice (once called a 'right of stoppage') that has been accepted for years in this country. See Studley v. Boylston Bank, 229 U.S. 523, 527-528, 33 S.Ct. 806, 57 L.Ed. 1313 (1913). A Rhode Island case decided half a century before Westerly makes reference to the practice, Hungerford v. Curtis, 43 R.I. 124, 110 A. 650 (1920), which is in no way unique to Rhode Island. See 10 Am.Jur.2d Banks 666 (1963); 9 C.J.S. Banks and Banking 295 (1938). See generally United States v. Butterworth-Judson Corp., 267 U.S. 387, 394-395, 45 S.Ct 338, 69 L.Ed. 672 (1925); New York County Nat'l Bank v. Massey, 192 U.S. 138, 24 S.Ct. 199, 48 L.Ed. 380 (1904).
That a creditor should refuse to pay out money for one who already owes him a debt is not surprising. Had the banks not been able to do so without signalling their intentions, the funds might have gone swiftly, and there would have been no other assets to satisfy the banks' claims. In any event, whatever the truth of the old saw that possession is nine-tenths of the law, a creditor who holds something of value to his debtor is differently situated from one who does not: he does not need the state to facilitate his collection efforts.
The cases upon which plaintiffs must rely contain the further ingredient of the state's having helped in the seizure of the debtor's property. In Fuentes the state court issued writs of replevin and these were executed by state officials. The creditor could obtain the property peacefully only by the affirmative intervention of the state. In footnote 12, the Fuentes court recognized the difference between a state's lending process to a creditor and a creditor's proceeding 'without the use of the state power, through self-help, by 'distraining' the property before a judgment.' Id. at 79. Similarly in Sniadach v. Family Finance Corp., 395 U.S. 337, 89 S.Ct. 1820, 23 L.Ed.2d 349 (1969), a garnishment writ was issued by a state court clerk.7
Yet notwithstanding Rhode Island's lack of instrumental assistance, plaintiffs maintain that the state creates, enforces, or encourages 'the impetus' for the private actions, and thus 'acts' even though it may not be involved with the banks or the challenged action. See, e.g., Adickes v. S. H. Kress & Co., 398 U.S. 144, 170, 90 S.Ct. 1598, 26 L.Ed.2d 142 (1970); cf. Shelley v. Kraemer, 334 U.S. 1, 68 S.Ct. 836, 92 L.Ed. 1161 (1948). We do not believe, however, that Rhode Island's mere passive acceptance of a bank's ability to help itself is encouragement enough to constitute state action. There are myriad more or less conventional private property rules which a state may define, codify or-- as here-- simply acknowledge. In the ordinary case such state judicial or legislative activity in the economic sphere is not, by itself, state action. Rhode Island has done no more than announce acceptance of a familiar private practice. She has not created or encouraged it. Her courts have not even addressed themselves to the procedural aspects of set off.
In Moose Lodge No. 101 v. Irvis, 407 U.S. 163, 92 S.Ct. 1965, 32 L.Ed.2d 627 (1972), a state's granting of liquor licenses to clubs practicing private discrimination was held not to be such encouragement of the practice as to involve the state significantly. 'Where the impetus for the discrimination is private the State must have 'significantly involved itself . . .' to fall within the ambit of the constitutional prohibition.' Id. at 173. The impetus for bank set off is private, and we fail to see how the state's passive acquiescence amounts to involvement beyond that present in Moose Lodge. See also Evans v. Abney, 396 U.S. 435, 90 S.Ct. 628, 24 L.Ed.2d 634 (1970).
Reitman v. Mulkey, 387 U.S. 369, 87 S.Ct. 1627, 18 L.Ed.2d 830 (1967), lends the greatest theoretical support to the argument that a state's common law doctrine may amount to state action. The Court held unconstitutional an amendment to California's constitution providing that the state could not limit a person's right to sell or rent his real property to whomever he chooses. The amendment was aimed at state laws curbing racial discrimination in housing. The Court held that the amendment not only altered the law but significantly involved the state in racial discrimination. In the instant case, however, Rhode Island has not acted affirmatively to terminate protections once afforded to bank depositors. Its legislature remains unfettered to regulate or eliminate bankers' set off should it choose. Finally, Reitman stands as an outer marker. 'An extension of Reitman . . . would subject most private conduct to fourteenth amendment standards', including virtually all contractual relations and testamentary dispositions. Comment, Power of Sale Foreclosures after Fuentes, 40 U.Chi.L.Rev. 206, 218 (1972). In Reitman the Court seemed to recognize the unique limitations of its decisions, commending the California court because
'it did not read either our cases or the Fourteenth Amendment as establishing an automatic constitutional barrier to the repeal of an existing law . . .; nor did the court rule that a State may never put in statutory form an existing policy of neutrality with respect to private discriminations.' Id. at 376.
We question if a case forged from the nation's continuing struggle with the cancer of racial discrimination can in every particular be transferred to one dealing with bankers' set off. See Adams v. Southern Calif. First Nat'l Bank, supra at 333; Shirley v. State National Bank, supra at 744-745. As Judge Friendly has suggested, 'Racial discrimination is so peculiarly offensive and was so much the prime target of the Fourteenth Amendment that a lesser degree of involvement may constitute 'state action' with respect to it than would be required in other contexts . . .' Coleman v. Wagner College, 429 F.2d 1120, 1127 (2d Cir. 1970) (concurring opinion). We conclude that bank set off is a private self-help remedy. Rhode Island's involvement therewith is too slight to constitute state action.
Involvement of State with Banks
As an alternative approach, plaintiffs would have us find state action from the state's participation in the affairs of private banks. Relying upon such terms as 'quasi-monopoly', 'symbiotic relationship', 'joint venture', and the like, plaintiffs emphasize that banks are regulated and serve important public needs. The question is not, however, to be answered by slogans. We have to examine specifics in order to determine whether in engaging in the challenged practice the banks are so 'endowed by the state with governmental powers or functions . . . that they were considered in essence agencies or instrumentalities of the state and consequently subject to constitutional limitations.' Palmer v. Columbia Gas of Ohio, Inc., 479 F.2d 153, 161 (6th Cir. 1973).
The mere fact that banks are closely regulated by the state, R.I.G.L. Title 19, 1-1 et seq., and federal government8 does not render all they do state action. Moose Lodge holds, in essence, that a state's ability to regulate or prohibit a practice it has chosen to ignore, although it regulates other activities of the defendant, does not constitute state action.
'The state must be involved not simply with some activity of the institution alleged to have inflicted injury upon a plaintiff but with the activity that caused the injury.'
Powe v. Miles, 407 F.2d 73, 81 (2d Cir. 1968); cf. Particular Cleaners, Inc. v. Commonwealth Edison Co., 457 F.2d 189 (7th Cir. 1972). We find nothing contrary in Public Utilities Comm'n v. Pollak, 343 U.S. 451, 72 S.Ct. 813, 96 L.Ed. 1068 (1952); a government commission had investigated and approved the challenged programming.
Plaintiffs seek to draw support from cases9 finding state action when a public utility terminates service to a nonpaying customer. In Palmer, the sixth circuit found that the gas company, which had entered upon private property pursuant to a state statute, enjoyed a total monopoly, provided a necessity of life and, in performing a public function, exercised powers usually reserved to the state. Such a corporation belongs to a category sometimes called 'quasi-public'. Having been granted a monopoly over a vital public service it may be visualized as doing what the state itself might otherwise have to do. See Note, Fourteenth Amendment Due Process in Terminations of Utility Services for Nonpayment, 86 Harv.L.Rev. 1477 (1973). There is little parallel to the defendant banks. While banks are termed 'quasi-monopolies' by plaintiffs, they exist in sizable number. To the extent that the limitation upon licenses, R.I.G.L. Title 19, 1-5, confers a 'monopoly', the banks are no different from the holders of liquor licenses in Moose Lodge. Furthermore, as already discussed, the set off procedure, unlike the utility's statutory right of entry on private premises, carries no special grant of power. When a utility was able to cut off services without entry upon private property, no state action was found-- the court holding that 'affirmative support must be significant.' Lucas v. Wisconsin Electric Power Co., 466 F.2d 638 (7th Cir. 1972), cert. denied, 409 U.S. 1114, 93 S.Ct. 928, 34 L.Ed.2d 696 (1973). Finally, the credit and banking services made available to plaintiffs, valuable though they may be, are not basic necessities of life.
Appellants are no more successful in their attempt to place themselves within Lavoie v. Bigwood, 457 F.2d 7 (1st Cir. 1972).10 In that case we held that the confluence of court-enforced eviction and monopoly power created by zoning so implicated the state as to subject a private mobile home park owner to suit under 1983. A condition of living in any mobile home in the area was that plaintiff locate his trailer in defendant's mobile home park.
'(A) neutrality test is inapposite where the state gives special support to a nominally private party or, for other purposes, markedly restricts alternatives to dominion by a private party.' Id. at 14.
In the instant case, Rhode Island is not alleged to have given special support to the defendant banks nor has it in any way restricted plaintiffs' alternatives.
The symbiotic relationship described in Burton v. Wilmington Parking Authority, 365 U.S. 715, 81 S.Ct. 856, 6 L.Ed.2d 45 (1961), does not exist here. In Burton the land and the building containing the offending restaurant were publicly owned. There were close physical and business relationships between lessor and lessee. The Court found that the profits earned by discrimination practiced in the restaurant were an indispensable element in the financial success of a government agency. Although the defendant banks undoubtedly contribute to the general revenue like all other corporate taxpayers no particular agency or program of the state is financially tied to their profitability. Rhode Island does not provide the property on which the bank is located nor contribute in any direct way to its operation. The state has not 'insinuated itself into a position of interdependence'. Id. at 725.
Appellants maintain that the comprehensive system of monitoring carried out by the state has inextricably intertwined Rhode Island with the banks' activities. Yet McQueen v. Drucker, 438 F.2d 781 (1st Cir. 1971), cited in support of this proposition, expressly disavows reliance on financial subsidy and regulation. The government chose to use private persons to carry out a specific governmental objective-- providing for urban renewal displacees. Insofar as appellants ask us to limit Moose Lodge to private social clubs, we decline to accept a distinction which could lead to finding state action in all forms of commercial enterprises open to the public and would totally eviscerate the state action doctrine. Marsh v. Alabama, 326 U.S. 501, 66 S.Ct. 276, 90 L.Ed. 265 (1946), is so plainly distinguishable on its facts as to require no discussion. 'Open to the public' should not be confused with 'public function.' See Lloyd Corp., Ltd. v. Tanner, 407 U.S. 551, 92 S.Ct. 2219, 33 L.Ed.2d 131 (1972).
As all the arguments considered together or individually analyzed are insufficient to raise a colorable claim under 1983, the court correctly dismissed on the pleadings under Rule 12(b)(6). See generally Shirley v. State Nat'l Bank, supra; Kirksey v. Theilig, 351 F.Supp. 727 (D.Colo.1972); Greene v. First Nat'l Exchange Bank, 348 F.Supp. 672 (W.D.Va.1972).
In Count 2, plaintiffs allege that under 127(a)(7) of the Consumer Credit Protection Act, 15 U.S.C 1637(a)(7), and 226.7(a)(7) of Regulation Z, 12 C.F.R. 226.7(a)(7), defendants were supposed to disclose the conditions under which they might retain or acquire any 'security interest' in the property of the plaintiffs, and to describe the security interest. Plaintiffs further allege that the privilege of set off exercised by the banks is a security interest, and that either the banks did not disclose and describe it or else whatever was disclosed was not made 'clearly, conspicuously or meaningfully' as required.11
The district court ruled that the bank's common law set off right was not a security interest within the meaning of 15 U.S.C. 1637(a)(7). Noting that the legislative history provided no aid on the question,12 it pointed out that pursuant to authority of 105 of the Act, 15 U.S.C. 1604, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System had promulgated regulations defining 'security interest' as 'any interest in property which secures payment or performance of an obligation.' 12 C.F.R. 226.2(z).13 The court went on to say,
'In my opinion it is palpably clear the status of a depository bank, vis-a-vis deposited funds, is that of a debtor, not that of a secured creditor. The indebtedness of the plaintiffs, and that of others similarly situated, arose from transactions completely unrelated to the deposit of their money in the respective defendant banks. With regard to this indebtedness the banks are unsecured creditors. This is evidenced by the fact that the depositor is at all times free to withdraw his funds from the bank. The exercise by a bank of its long-recognized right to apply deposited funds against such indebtedness is nothing more than the setting-off of mutual, unsecured debts. To accept the plaintiffs' contention that the right to set-off is 'in the nature of a security interest' would be to stretch the meaning of that term beyond reasonable limits.'
We regard the question as somewhat closer than did the district court, but we reach the same conclusion.
Plainly a banker's privilege to apply the debt arising from a deposit against a depositor's unrelated debt to the bank is not a security interest in the ordinary sense.14 See United States v. Sterling Nat'l Bank, 360 F.Supp. 917 (S.D.N.Y.1973). But see United States v. Harris, 249 F.Supp. 221 (W.D.La.1966). A deposit of money to one's credit in a bank, although it may give rise to a set off allowing the bank to obtain more than other general creditors, 'is not a transfer of property as a payment, pledge, mortgage, gift or security.' New York County Nat'l Bank, supra, 192 U.S. at 147. A security interest arises usually when the creditor retains an interest at the time he extends credit. Here the depositor extended credit to the bank when she made her deposit; under Rhode Island law, as the district court stated, the money deposited belongs to the bank and the bank stands in a debtor-creditor relation to its depositor. Westerly Community Credit Union, supra, 103 R.I. at 668, 240 A.2d at 589. When the bank extended credit, it acquired no new collateral. Even if the bank had a policy of extending credit only when savings had reached a certain level, and therefore considered the savings to be collateral for the extension of credit, the savings were not deposited for the purpose of creating a security interest and obtaining the credit. Unlike the case with commercial transactions secured by accounts receivable or contract rights, the bank as creditor does not acquire the debtor's right to payment. It has, instead, a right as debtor to refuse payment, thereby limiting loss. This wholly negative quality is foreign to secured transactions which give to the creditor an affirmative right to receive or retain something-- money, tangible property, or performance of a contract. The principal draftsman of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code criticized 9-104(i) thereof, which excludes set of from its coverage, because
'of course a right of set-off is not a security interest and has never been confused with one: the statute might as appropriately exclude fan dancing.' 1 G. Gilmore, Security Interests in Personal Property 10.7 at 315-16 (1965).
For such an unusual application to be read into the term 'security interest', especially in a statute with civil penalties, we think Congress, or at least the Federal Reserve Board as the agency invested with power to issue regulations, should first say so. The defendant banks are otherwise not forewarned as to the illegal conduct. It is true that the list of security devices in Regulation Z does not purport to be exhaustive; nonetheless, the Board undertook to specify a wide variety of devices, none of which-- though some are not security interests in the strict senxe-- include the cancellation of mutual debts.
We recognize that a persuasive argument can be found in the protective purpose of the Act. Whatever its technical niceties, set off from a consumer's view is arguably similar to conventional security interests. Like any of them, it may be a significant term of the credit transaction. As Judge Moore wrote in N. D. Freed Co., Inc. v. Board of Governors, 473 F.2d 1210, 1214 (2d Cir.), cert. denied, 414 U.S. 827, 94 S.Ct. 48, 38 L.Ed.2d 61 (1973),
'The avowed purpose of the Consumer Credit Protection Act, enacted in 1968 after eight years of Congressional consideration, was to 'assure a meaningful disclosure of credit terms so that the consumer will be able to compare more readily the various credit terms available to him and avoid the uninformed use of credit.' (15 U.S.C. 1601.)'
In shopping for credit, a potential card holder might well like to know that if she uses a card from her own bank, her checking account will be the security in an everyday, if not legal, sense.
Yet in deciding Freed, the second circuit was aided not only by reference to the Act's remedial purpose but by a particularized legislative history and by the language of a Board regulation. Indeed, the issue before the court was simply whether or not to sustain a regulation adopted by the Board. The regulation reflected 'contemporaneous construction of a statute by the agency charged by Congress with the administration of the Act.' Id. at 1217. See Gardner & North Roofing & Siding Corp. v. Board of Governors, 150 U.S.App.D.C. 329, 464 F.2d 838 (1972); Douglas v. Beneficial Finance Co., 334 F.Supp. 1166 (D.Alaska 1971), rev'd on other grounds, 469 F.2d 453 (9th Cir. 1972). In the instant situation, the Board has not spoken at all on set off as a security interest.
Furthermore, last summer a Senate committee reported out amendments to the Act dealing for the first time with set off, but not under the heading of a 'security interest'. Senate Comm. on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, Rep.No.93-278, 93d Cong., 1st Sess. 9 (1973). The bill, which has passed the Senate, rather than modifying the current disclosure section, treats the practice in a new chapter dealing with credit billing. 14 Cong.Rec.S. 14414 (daily ed. July 23, 1973). It would prohibit set off unless the cardholder agrees to permit the bank periodically to pay the indebtedness by deducting appropriate amounts from the cardholder's account.15 The author of the amendments, Senator Proxmire, was also a principal sponsor of the Act; the way set off is handled in the amendments gives little support to any notion that the original Senate sponsors envisaged it to be a security interest. Moreover, set off procedures differ somewhat between states, and the proposed legislation would deal more sensitively than can a court with the varying problems of regulation. Thus, there is good reason not to outpace Congress but to await its judgment. We conclude that set off is outside the Act's present compass.
No issue is raised on appeal concerning the class action aspects of this litigation. Since no class determination was made by the district court, the dismissal affirmed by us is not, of course, res judicata as to any of the alleged class members.
Barbara Fletcher's card indebtedness was allegedly $796.36, and Marion Sass' $982.44. The checking account balances set off were $291.30 and $73.98. The complaint alleges that the checking account balances 'represented the only liquid form of property available' to each, and that they depended upon them 'for providing the maintenance of (their) wellbeing'
Fletcher and Sass filed a joint notice of appeal pursuant to F.R.A.P. 3(b) and, therefore, both parties are properly before the court
42 U.S.C. 1983: 'Every person who under color of any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage, of any State or Territory, subjects, or causes to be subjected, any citizen of the United States . . . to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws, shall be liable to the party injured in an action at law, suit in equity, or other proper proceeding for redress.'
'State action' and 'under color of' state law are usually treated as one and the same, although analytically there may be a difference. Adickes v. S. H. Kress & Co., 398 U.S. 144, 210, 90 S.Ct. 1598, 26 L.Ed.2d 142 (1970) (Brennan, J., concurring in part); Lavoie v. Bigwood, 457 F.2d 7, 15 (1st Cir. 1972). Arguably, the seizure here, being sanctioned by Rhode Island law, was 'under color' thereof, but was not state action in the Fourteenth Amendment sense as there was no deployment of state process or machinery on behalf of the creditor banks. Cf. Fuentes v. Shevin, 407 U.S. 67, 92 S.Ct. 1983, 32 L.Ed.2d 556 (1972); Sniadach v. Family Finance Corp., 395 U.S. 337, 89 S.Ct. 1820, 23 L.Ed.2d 349 (1969). We do not attempt any such refined analysis but use 'state action' in both senses interchangeably
See also Kinch v. Chrysler Credit Corp., 367 F.Supp. 436 (E.D.Tenn.1973); Johnson v. Associates Finance, Inc., 365 F.Supp. 1380 (S.D.Ill.1973); Nichols v. Tower Grove Bank, 362 F.Supp. 374 (E.D.Mo.1973); Shelton v. General Electric Credit Corp., 359 F.Supp. 1079 (M.D.Ga.1973); Pease v. Havelock Nat'l Bank, 351 F.Supp. 118 (D.Neb.1972); Kirksey v. Theilig, 351 F.Supp. 727 (D.Colo.1972); Greene v. First Nat'l Exch. Bank, 348 F.Supp. 672 (W.D.Va.1972); Oller v. Bank of America, 342 F.Supp. 21 (N.D.Cal.1972); McCormick v. First Nat'l Bank, 322 F.Supp. 604 (S.D.Fla.1971). Contra, Gibbs v. Titelman, 369 F.Supp. 38 (E.D.Pa.1973); Boland v. Essex County Bank & Trust Co., 361 F.Supp. 917 (D.Mass.1973); Straley v. Gassaway Motor Co., Inc., 359 F.Supp. 902 (S.D.W.Va.1973)
The complaint requests only a declaration of unconstitutionality of that 'portion of its common law.' Rhode Island had adopted provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code which tangentially recognize 'any right' of set off a bank may have, but do not establish or define such a right. R.I.G.L. Title 6A, 4-213(4), (5)
In Hall v. Garson, 430 F.2d 430 (5th Cir. 1970), a state law authorizing a landlord to execute a lien transferred to a private party power traditionally reserved to the sheriff. The instant case involves no such usurpation of an historic state function. See also Mullane v. Central Hanover Bank & Trust Co., 339 U.S. 306, 70 S.Ct. 652, 94 L.Ed. 865 (1950) (challenged procedures prescribed by state); Boland v. Essex County Bank, supra (self-help likely to involve close working arrangement with police); Santiago v. McElroy, 319 F.Supp. 284 (E.D.Pa.1970) (state officers perform distress sales). But see McCabe v. Atchison, T. & S.F. Ry., 235 U.S. 151, 35 S.Ct. 69, 59 L.Ed. 169 (1914) (statute permitting railway to discriminate); Collins v. Viceroy Hotel Corp., 338 F.Supp. 390 (N.D.Ill.1972) (innkeeper lien law); Klim v. Jones, 315 F.Supp. 109 (N.D.Cal.1970) (innkeeper lien law)
One of the defendant banks, we are told, is a National Bank. Federal regulation is irrelevant to the issue of state action under 1983. While federal officers may, at times, be subject to suit for unconstitutional behavior, see Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents, 403 U.S. 388, 91 S.Ct. 1999, 29 L.Ed.2d 619 (1971), there is no cause of action against private parties acting under color of federal law or custom
See, e.g., Palmer v. Columbia Gas of Ohio, Inc., 479 F.2d 153 (6th Cir. 1973); Ihrke v. Northern States Power Co., 459 F.2d 566 (8th Cir.), vacated as moot, 409 U.S. 815, 93 S.Ct. 66, 34 L.Ed.2d 72 (1972); Bronson v. Consolidated Edison Co., 350 F.Supp. 443 (S.D.N.Y.1972); Hattell v. Public Service Co., 350 F.Supp. 240 (D.Colo.1972); Stanford v. Gas Service Co., 346 F.Supp. 717 (D.Kan.1972). Contra, Jackson v. Metropolitan Edison Co., 483 F.2d 754 (3d Cir. 1973); Lucas v. Wisconsin Electric Power Co., 466 F.2d 638 (7th Cir. 1972), cert. denied, 409 U.S. 1114, 93 S.Ct. 928, 34 L.Ed.2d 696 (1973)
The holding in Lavoie, supra, was based upon Railway Employe's Dept. v. Hanson, 351 U.S. 225, 76 S.Ct. 714, 100 L.Ed. 1112 (1956), which is inapplicable to the instant situation. In Hanson, the federal government placed monopoly power in private (union) hands in order to implement federal labor policies. Rhode Island, on the other hand, has given the banks no monopoly power. Moreover, the union shop agreement was legal only because the federal act had nullified state right-to-work laws
15 U.S.C. 1631(a):
'Each creditor shall disclose clearly and conspicuously, in accordance with the regulations of the Board, to each person to whom consumer credit is extended and upon whom a finance charge is or may be imposed, the information required under this part.'
'Before opening any account under an open end consumer credit plan, the creditor shall disclose to the person to whom credit is to be extended each of the following items, to the extent applicable: . . .

The terms include, but are not limited to, security interests under the Uniform Commercial Code, real property mortgages, deeds of trust, and other consensual or confessed liens whether or not recorded, mechanic's, materialmen's, artisan's, and other similar liens, vendor's liens in both real and personal property, the interest of a seller in a contract for the sale of real property, any lien on property arising by operation of law, and any interest in a lease when used to secure payment or performance of an obligation.'
'Security interest' means an interest in personal property or fixtures which secures payment or performance of an obligation.' Uniform Commercial Code 1-201(37)
S.2102, 93d Cong., 1st Sess. 169 (1973):
'(a) A card issuer may not take any action to offset a cardholder's indebtedness arising in connection with a consumer credit transaction under the relevant credit card plan against funds of the cardholder held on deposit with the card issuer unless--
'(1) such action was previously authorized in writing by the cardholder in accordance with a credit plan whereby the cardholder agrees periodically to pay debts incurred in his open end credit account by permitting the card issuer periodically to deduct all or a portion of such debt from the cardholder's deposit account, and
'(2) such action with respect to any outstanding disputed amount not be taken by the card issuer upon request of the cardholder.

A resident of Bir Hadaj was arrested with a metal detector on January 28 in Halutza, where he was looking illicitly for ancient coins. He was searched by the Israel Antiquities Authority's theft prevention unit, together with the Ramat Negev police force, revealing over a hundred and fifty coins, all stolen from archaeological sites.
As Guy Fitoussi of the theft prevention unit pointed out, "It's illegal to walk around ancient sites with a metal detector, or even have one in the car in such a location." As soon as coins or other metal objects are removed from their historical context (which is itself irreparably disturbed as a result) it's impossible to use them to date the site and any other artifacts found there, destroying their greatest value to archaeologists. Their intrinsic value on the antiquities market, by contrast, would generally amount to less than a hundred dollars. Small wonder that such crimes infuriate staff at the IAA.
Halutza was one of the great Nabatean cities of the Negev from the fourth to the seventh century, although it was founded much earlier, in the third century BCE, as a way station on the fabled Spice Route leading from the Arabian peninsular to the Mediterranean. Its ruins include churches, as the Nabateans converted to Christianity under Byzantine influence in the fourth century. Halutza, like the other Nabatean sites of Avdat, Mamshit and Shivta, has been declared a UNESCO world heritage site.

Legende (af lat. legénda, 'det som skal læses op') betegner egenlig alt, der på de dertil bestemte dage blev oplæst ved gudstjenesten i kirkerne; men da bibelstykker og lignende havde egne benævnelser brugtes betegnelsen legender nærmest kun om de beretninger om hellige mænd og kvinder, der var autoriseret af kirken til oplæsning. Bøgerne de var samlet i kaldes legendarier.

Legender falder i to klasser, passionaler (passionarii), som handler om martyrers lidelser, og egentlige legender, som i almindelighed beretter om helliges liv, virksomhed og gode gerninger.

Men betegnelsen legender bruges ikke blot om de af kirken anerkendte beretninger om helgener. De anvendes også om, hvad man kunne kalde privatarbejder om helgener og deres liv; og da de gerne var meget udsmykkede og fulde af underfulde og ikke særlig troværdige fortællinger, gik legender over til at betegne en hvilken som helst udsmykket beretning om historiske begivenheder, i hvilke fantasien havde frit løb, ikke blot kirkelige.

Legender kom efterhånden til at betegne fortælling om en enkelt helgen eller et afsnit af en sådan fortælling. Særlig genstand for legender er Jesus' mor Maria og hendes slægt, som der efterhånden blev fortalt mere og mere om. Men også om ældre og yngre skikkelser fra kirkens historie dannede der sig tidligt legender, såvel i helgenens fødeland som i andre lande.

Form
Allerede tidligt fremtrådte legender
i en vis bunden form; således blandt andet ved år
400 hos digteren Prudentius. I den ældre
Middelalder fremtræder legender hos de fleste europæiske
folk enten i bunden stil eller rimede og udgør
en væsentlig del af datidens kvad, der også
behandler bibelske og nationale emner.

Rigest blomstrede disse kvad hos angelsachserne.
Den ældste poetiske legende i
Tyskland er fra 10. århundrede og handler om Den hellige Georg.
I Frankrig dramatiseredes legender oftere; eksempler herpå haves også fra Tyskland.

Samling af legender
I den senere Middelalder var prosaformen fremtrædende.
Legender blev tidligt samlet; således allerede
af ærkebiskop Jacobus de Voragine (død 1298) i
hans Legenda aurea. Den fuldstændigste samling er Bollandisternes.
For Danmarks vedkommende af Hans Olrik i Danske Helgeners Levned (1893-94) og
for Norges vedkommende af Ludvig Daae i Norges Helgener (1879).

Kendskab til Middelalderens legender er nødvendig for at forstå
Middelalderens kirkelige kunst, for eksempel altertavler.
Da bogtrykkerkunsten opfandtes, blev der snart udgivet
en mængde legender; 1520 var der i Tyskland
allerede trykt 45 passionaler, 18 eremitliv og 125
levnedsbeskrivelser af helgener.
Mærkelig er Sebastian Brants nu så sjældne, med
træsnit udstyrede Der Heiligen Leben, Basel 1502, 1510.

Reformationen
Da Reformationen bredte sig, svandt interessen for
legender hurtig i de lande, der gik over til protestantismen.
Først i begyndelsen af 19. århundrede vaktes interessen igen.
Johann Gottfried von Herder gjorde blandt andet i Adrastea (1801-03) opmærksom på den rige skat, der
fandtes i Middelalderens legender.
I England var der længe kun lidt interesse for de gamle kvad, hvortil legender hørte.
Islændingen Thorkelin (1815) og danskeren Grundtvig (1820) var blandt de  første der i begyndelsen af 1800-tallet fremdrog de engelske kvad ved oversættelser af Beowulf-kvadet.

Udgivelser
C.J. Brandt udgav i Dansk Klosterlæsning, II (1859) en dansk samling i prosa af
legender fra Middelalderen, om Maria og om
helgeninderne Margareta, Kristina, Cecilia,
Katerina, Lucia, Agnes, Sofia og Marina, foruden
en fortælling om Povels nedfart til helvede.

Svenske legender udgav J.H. Schröder i Legenda Suecana vetusta S. Magni comitis (1839),
Johan Ernst Rietz, Legenda Suecana, Helgonsagor (1843-45),
Georg Stephens, Et fornsvensk Legendarium, udgivet af Svenska Fornskriftsälskapet, bd VII (1847-74),
og G.E. Klemming, Klosterläsning (1877-78).

Legende, musikalsk kompositionsform
Legende er også en musikalsk kompositionsform af
lyrisk-episk indhold, også overført på ren instrumentalmusik.

Légende, indskrift
Légende (fr.) bruges også om indskrift eller
omskrift på mønter og medaljer. Den oplyser om
møntherren, møntstedet, somme tider også andre
forhold og ofte møntmesteren. I reglen er flere
eller færre af de enkelte ord i stærkt
forkortet form, på ældre tids mønter ofte kun
ved det første bogstav.

Investment Assets
All investments carry some risk, and the Investing and Risk page includes some information on how we might manage this risk. We can learn more about the particular risks and rewards of different investment funds by looking at their sector and assets in more detail.
All types of shares have different characteristics and these characteristics are complex. Hence there are fund managers within the industry to assess and measure these features and make investment decisions based on their knowledge and market experience.
Investment funds will have a particular aim, and often have a specialist sector which allows them to be compared to other funds of a similar make-up and ensures that the actual assets of the fund (the investments made by the fund manager on behalf of individual investors) remain in proportion with the selected aims and specification of the fund.
Sectors and Assets – The fund sector identifies broadly the areas in which the fund will invest. This can be based on geographical terms, or in a particular industry. For example, there are funds that only invest in UK companies, or Japanese companies, just as there are funds that invest purely in 'technology' companies (IT, telecoms etc). In addition to this there are funds that invest in a mixture of asset classes. A typical 'balanced managed' fund will have some money invested in shares, some in property and some in fixed interest investments or bonds.
Although there are no guarantees as to performance or returns from any sector, our knowledge and experience can indicate how we might expect investments to perform.

A Summit Nordic Ski Club coach for the last 14 years, Hannah Taylor, 39, passed away on Saturday after a trail running accident in the Gore Range near Frisco, Colorado. Originally from Hopkinton, N.H., Taylor, who lived in the Frisco area for the better part of the last two decades, was running on Willow Peak ridge with Summit Nordic's head coach Olof Hedberg when she grabbed a rock that came loose. According to the Union Leader, she fell some 250 feet into a rock garden below and was pronounced dead at the scene by medical team that arrived by helicopter. The accident occurred around 12:30 p.m. on Saturday.
"On Saturday July 21st SNSC coaches, Hannah Taylor and Olof Hedberg, were out on a mountain run in the Gore range. On the Willow Peak ridge Hannah grabbed a rock that came loose and lost her life.
Hannah has been with Summit Nordic Ski club for 14 years and there are no words that can describe the impact she has had on our club. We all know that this club wouldn't exist without her. She wasn't just a coach with SNSC, she was the heart and soul of SNSC. Her impact on our athletes reached far beyond their ability to ski. She didn't just help children become successful athletes, but successful and great people.
Her dedication to our athletes was undeniable. She kept a record of every wax used for every race over the last 10 years and cried every time we missed a wax on a race. She always wanted every athlete to have the best possible situation to perform and spent hours and hours making sure everyone had the perfect conditions no matter if you finish first or 30th.
Summit Nordic board president Peter Haynes told the Summit Daily how invaluable Taylor had been to their club.
"She was here through several head coaches; she was our rock," Haynes said. "This club would not be what it is without Hannah. She was such a strong person and personality, and hard on people. But she loved them so much — the kids especially. She did not give them a lot of breaks, but it was truly because she cared about them so much. She truly made this club better for everybody — coaches, parents and athletes.
Taylor skied for Middlebury College in Vermont and worked for the Appalachian Mountain Club before moving to Colorado. There, she began coaching at Summit Nordic and was hired as office manager at the Summit Huts Association, a Breckenridge-based nonprofit that owns and operates four backcountry ski cabins in Summit County. She worked for both entities for more than a decade and became managing director of Summit Huts.
She was also an ultra runner who won the High Lonesome 100 ultra marathon last summer, finishing nearly two hours ahead of the second woman. Taylor is survived by her family and friends, including her longtime boyfriend and "her trusted dog and adventure buddy," Saco, according to the Summit Daily.


I spent the evening sitting on the deck with Liz and Ronnie, drinking Korbel (brandy) and soda, and watching the sun set: a beautiful end to a long, hot day. When their son Carl and his girlfriend came home later, we all had dinner together.
It took me a minute to understand what I was looking at. Then I giggled.
The wind conditions did not favor him today.


Being a doctor to a colleague is a great honour for any medical practitioner. However, it also presents many challenges. These challenges will be discussed in a series of articles looking at how to best be a doctor for other doctors.
This article, the first in the series, explores potential barriers to good medical care when the patient is a doctor. Subsequent articles in the series will discuss strategies for overcoming these barriers.
There are many barriers to doctors receiving ideal medical care These barriers include issues around boundaries, embarrassment, confidentiality, payment for services and medicolegal issues. Having an awareness of these barriers can help treating doctors to offer the best possible care to those colleagues who choose to see them as patients.
Being invited to be a doctor for a colleague is one of the greatest possible honours for a medical practitioner. However, it also presents many challenges. Doctors do not always make the best patients and being asked to treat a colleague can challenge even the most experienced practitioner. Potential barriers to good medical care when the patient is a doctor – from both the point of view of the treating doctor and of the patient doctor – are outlined in Table 1.


The Introduction might best be read as preparatory material, perhaps along with the Foreword by J. Harold Ellens, prior to a preliminary meeting of the study group—whether starting with module one or with a later section of the book. Having been read the once, it would not need to be repeated prior to starting any further modules.
1. What is my strongest impression/memory of the Bible from my childhood?
2. In real terms, what role does the Bible play in my life these days?
3. What am I most concerned about when I contemplate the future influence of the Bible in our culture?
In the Introduction I provide a glimpse into my own personal journey and the perspectives that influence the way I read the Bible, and the way this book has been planned. It is important to take into account the personal perspectives of anyone with whom we are engaged in conversation, and I am no exception. I write from a particular point of view and for a certain kind of audience. You may like to try and describe the position from which I seem to be coming, and compare that with your own perspective as a reader of this book. Even if we are "poles apart" we may be able to engage in a positive and respectful conversation, and that is certainly my hope. Even if we share many points of view, we shall not always agree; and that is OK.
One statement of my position can be found in the short article, Religious Literacy on the Jesus Database web site. Critical literacy in religion, and especially with the Bible, strikes me as very important for the future of our global society, and I hope that this book can make a modest contribution to that goal.
Archbishop of Canterbury recommends reading King James Bible for "the big picture"

A Review of 2021 and How To Use Digital Channels in 2022
by shiv
The year has sped past and we are now a week away from 2022. The time may now be right to relook at marketing strategies and align them to the upcoming trends in 2022. While 2021 was filled with highs and lows, especially with the pandemic, it has also been an insightful year, with many key events that we can learn from.
Review: Things that happened in the digital space
Brands were called out for their mismanagement
For most Singaporeans, the Night Owl Cinematics (NOC) saga was one of the more shocking events of the year. As we followed the shocking revelations of workplace abuse and sexual exploitation of workers by their female boss, it also highlighted the importance of management in the workplace. Earlier in the year, it was also revealed that BooksActually founder had alleged misconduct towards his female ex-employees.
With all these events in mind, more emphasis has been placed on workplace welfare, especially with the pandemic disrupting the lifestyles of many. Business owners and managers are also being watched more closely in order to prevent similar situations from taking place again.
For business owners and managers, the revelation of these events highlighted the importance of listening to employees. After all, a happy workplace leads to better productivity and an overall more vibrant workplace culture.
Reopening of physical spaces

With the availability of vaccines this year, more physical spaces have been opening up, from retail to dining outlets, and even the borders. While this may seem like it will have an effect on digital spaces, digital spaces have been even more thriving instead.
As new waves and variants of COVID-19 cases hit our shores, physical spaces such as retail and Vaccination-Travel-Lanes (VTL) have been constantly affected, leading to uncertainty amongst consumers. As such, more reliance has been placed on digital spaces.
For digital marketers, this also would also mean that increasingly varied content distribution and user engagement methods will take center stage in 2022. The core aim has been the same – to stand out amidst the increasing competition across even more channels.
More awareness about mental health and controversial issues
Topics like mental wellness and workplace balance were common topics this year, as people focused more on themselves. Social issues such as racism in Singapore and mental health were also more apparent this year. From the People's Association tone-deaf display of a Malay couple's wedding photograph as a standee for Hari Raya Aidilfitri decoration to a video of an individual making racist comments on public transport, these incidents have motivated conversations about race in Singapore.
For business owners and digital marketers, this shift in mindset also provides a fresh new perspective for content creation and marketing. It also serves as a reminder to be careful of the content one puts up, especially in regards to racial issues in a multi-racial society.
Preparing for 2022
Setting our sights forward, let us now look at what to expect for 2022: from changing the type of content creation to the platforms we post on, digital marketers can expect to face many changes in the coming year.
At Growth.sg, a lot of the planned work for 2022 will remain around building up a digital presence for our clients and partners, and also staying nimble and making sure all digital efforts are well-executed.
What can we do for 2022? As we gear up for new trends, we have categorized our action plan into 3 sub-categories: brand image, content creation, and online platforms. By working on these, we believe that your business will be able to tackle upcoming trends and boost your marketing plan for the new year.

Building a Stronger Brand Image
We observe that many brands focus more on producing more content rather than content that reflects and builds on their brand image, resulting in a page with all types of content and a weak brand image. However, in today's world, branding is a key factor in a brand's marketing strategy. A strong brand image leads to better brand awareness and hence better outreach.
This can be done by providing quality content that provides value to consumers, such as blogs and tutorials that educate and informs consumers. With the multitude of platforms and channels available, it has become increasingly important to have a strong brand image to bring credible attention to your brand.
For brands struggling with building up a stronger brand image, we at Growth.sg focus on producing content that relates and reflects the brand's mission and values, which leads to a stronger brand image.

Should Brands Diversify Sales Channels?

It's a fact that digital channels are ever-changing, with more channels for customers to consume marketing content. The different channels also have different types of consumer bases, allowing brands to reach different audiences based on the platform used. For a larger outreach, it is crucial for brands to cater their content to different platforms.
With the increasing reliance on digital spaces to advertise and reach out to consumers, brands also face increasing competition amongst the various channels. By diversifying their content based on the different platforms, brands are able to appeal to customers more strategically as well.
Summary: Create A Well-Thought Marketing Plan For 2022
All in all, it is crucial for businesses to prepare themselves for upcoming trends and shifts in society. By reviewing the year, we hope that this gives you an insight into how the trends progressed and what to expect for the upcoming year. We have also collated some marketing tips to prepare your brand for new trends and better outreach.

Bay Transit and Mountain Empire Older Citizens Pilot the Virginia Microtransit Deployment Initiative
Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation sent this bulletin at 06/28/2021 06:00 AM EDT
Contact: Haley Glynn
Email: haley.glynn@drpt.virginia.gov
~ Testing Proof of Concept for On-Demand Transportation in Rural Virginia ~
(RICHMOND) – The Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) has partnered with Bay Transit, a division of Bay Aging, and Mountain Empire Older Citizens (MEOC) on an initiative to bring on-demand public transportation services to rural Virginians. The transit agencies have contracted with Via, the leader in Transit Tech, to deploy the first microtransit services in the Commonwealth. The Virginia Microtransit Deployment Initiative, which is being funded in part through the Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) Integrated Mobility Innovation (IMI) grant and the Commonwealth's Innovation Technology Transportation Fund (ITTF), and will see the launch of two, 18-month pilot projects in Gloucester County and Wise, Virginia, beginning June 28.
"The Commonwealth is committed to finding multimodal solutions that diversify our transportation system, and work harder and smarter to get people where they need to go," stated Shannon Valentine, Virginia Secretary of Transportation. "Microtransit offers flexibility and can help expand mobility options for Virginians."
Using the transit agencies' existing vehicles and drivers, Via's powerful microtransit platform will handle dispatch, assigning pickup location, and routing of the vehicles – similar to other rideshare apps. The new services will take advantage of Via's advanced algorithm, enabling multiple riders to seamlessly share a single vehicle. The powerful technology directs passengers to a nearby corner – a virtual bus stop – for pick up and drop off, allowing for quick and efficient shared trips without lengthy detours or conventional fixed routes and schedules. The service zones were specifically targeted to provide affordable and efficient transportation for high-need and underserved communities – areas not served by other on-demand transportation services like Uber and Lyft.
"DRPT will use these pilots to test proof of concept for on-demand transportation in rural Virginia," stated Jennifer Mitchell, Director of the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation. "We are hopeful that emerging transit technologies will help fill mobility gaps in the Commonwealth."
The project will explore how microtransit technology and similar concepts can be used to improve service efficiency and rider experiences in rural areas throughout Virginia. The goal of the Virginia Microtransit Deployment Initiative is to provide a better understanding of how microtransit can be scaled and deployed in a rural setting. This will include evaluating how effective microtransit can be at covering service gaps in rural areas. Additionally, DRPT is partnering with Hampton Roads Transit and Blacksburg Transit on urban microtransit projects to test the concept in diverse areas with varying transportation needs. DRPT has developed a broad research and innovation package that will help monitor customer satisfaction, customer adoption rates, and service efficiency through data metrics and customer surveys. DRPT will carefully document outcomes and share lessons learned with the FTA and partner agencies.
"We are proud to partner with DRPT to expand access to public transit for residents in rural communities across Virginia," said Daniel Ramot, CEO and co-founder of Via. "Flexible, technology-powered solutions fill critical transit gaps and provide an equitable and efficient way to reach jobs and schools, and to be an active part of the community."
"Microtransit is a perfect example of how we can leverage technology in innovative ways to make transportation more accessible to everyone," said Director of Transportation Research and Innovation Cathy McGhee. "Combining the convenience of on-demand service with shared rides enabled by real-time routing technology, microtransit has the potential to take mobility to the next level for many Virginians."
Riders will also have the option to schedule trips and access customer support over the phone. For riders without smartphones, dispatchers in the service area will manage telephone bookings and communicate with drivers and riders. For more information, visit https://meoc.org/ and https://www.baytransit.org/express.
About the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation
DRPT's mission is to improve the mobility of people and goods while expanding transportation choices in the Commonwealth through rail, public transportation, and commuter services. DRPT is committed to ensuring that no person is excluded from participation in or denied the benefits of its services on the basis of race, color, or national origin as protected by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. For additional information on DRPT's nondiscrimination policies and procedures or to file a complaint, please contact the Title VI Compliance Officer, Mike Mucha, at (804) 786‐6794, TDD 711, or 600 E. Main Street, Suite 2102, Richmond, VA 23219.

September 28, 2015 by Justin Hocking, Employment Law Services Attorney, Esq.
Last week, the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment (CDLE) indicated it would adopt a tougher enforcement stance against "use-it-or-lose-it" vacation policies, according to the agency's Deputy Director, Dr. Peter Wingate. CDLE is responsible for enforcing the state's wage and hour statute, the Colorado Wage Protection Act (C.R.S. § 8-4-101 et. seq.). New rules that assist CDLE's investigators and hearing officers in enforcing Colorado wage and hour laws have been in place since January 1, 2015.
According to Wingate, CDLE continues its long-standing interpretation that under Colorado law, vacation pay that is earned in accordance with the terms of any agreement is wages owed to the employee upon separation of employment. Employers who have implemented a use-it-or-lose-it policy regarding paid vacation should reconsider. According to CDLE, "Once vacation pay has been earned, it cannot be unearned. Forfeiture clauses are not permitted in vacation agreements." CDLE's enforcement position applies to all paid vacation earned on or after January 1, 2015.
This afternoon, Dr. Wingate stated by telephone that official guidance was forthcoming that could differ from information already released informally. MSEC will continue to follow the issue closely.
CDLE has had the authority to adjudicate complaints for unpaid wages and compensation up to $7,500 since January 1 of this year.
According to MSEC's most recent survey on Paid Time Off Policies, 15 percent of Colorado employers have a policy allowing an employee to carry over only a portion of earned vacation from one year to the next. Among resort-area employers, the percentage climbs to 19 percent. These employers should consider revising their policies to ensure employees are not losing, or forfeiting, any earned vacation time.

Prepare for a career in the world's fastest growing industry!
New demands from increasingly sophisticated consumers imply that tourism marketers need to renew their experience offers, promotion and organisational practices continually. Furthermore, public actors must think of new ways to optimise conditions for businesses while simultaneously taking care of natural resources and cultural heritage so that local populations can thrive alongside tourists. The Tourism Programme at Aalborg University addresses the complexity and dynamics of such challenges from a broad social scientific perspective.
The Tourism Programme at Aalborg University is a two-year Master's degree which is offered in English in the university's campuses in Aalborg and in Copenhagen. Aalborg University - in both locations - is the ideal place for your studies if you appreciate the informal and egalitarian tradition of Scandinavia combined with practical, project-oriented learning.
A Master's degree in Tourism from Aalborg University will enable you to manage tourism related projects concerning product and promotion development, organisational transformations and policy issues within one of the largest and most important industries in the world.

It's been reported that Tres Tinkle has suffered a broken wrist on his non-shooting hand. He suffered the injury in the Beavers loss to Fresno State (63-58) on Friday evening. Tres Tinkle will have a CT scan on Monday to determine whether the injury will require surgery. Wayne Tinkle told reporters the initial timeline was four to six weeks, but he expects to know more following the scan.
This injury comes in the midst of a four game losing streak, as the Beavers are searching for an identity. Tres Tinkle is currently the teams leading scorer, rebounder and assist-man. In the loss to Fresno State Tres recorded a career-high in points (31) and also added 10 rebounds, along with 6 steals.
Oregon State has been without a number of players this season. Tres Tinkle is just the latest casualty. They've also been without starting guard Stephen Thompson Jr. for the last five games as he battles a left foot injury. Freshman power forward Ben Koné has yet to play while rehabbing from an ACL tear and Keondre Dew has missed the last two games due to an indefinite suspension.
The Beavers will be back in action Thursday, December 1st, at Mississippi State.

Pocket Venus @ Night & Day, Manchester
(by Chris Bainbridge)
The Night & Day always seem to deal Pocket Venus a weak hand & the band always come up trumps. The opening date of the tour to promote the release of the EP that seems to have been out for ever soon has the typical PV dramas turning into crises.
The remainder of this review is to be read in a Channel 4 Geordie style accent.
Day One in the Pocket Venus house, 4.23pm:
Chris & Naldo go to pick the hire van up only to find it's not there. A frantic hour of searching has the vehicle located in the metropolis of Llansannan.
5.26pm:
Dave is transferring his equipment from his car into the van, because the band have mastered the art of loading everything so that they can travel comfortably, the equipment is loaded in a particular order. Dave's equipment is the last of the items to go in, as a subsequence one of his keyboards is reversed over by a car.
Pocket Venus arrive at the Night & Day over an hour late & learn that they are one of 4 bands on the bill tonight & the venue want them on at 9.30pm. The customary spat is then exchanged.
The band also realise that local lads, New Order & Doves are playing less than a mile away & resign themselves to a quiet evening.
Pocket Venus finally soundcheck, which is more than what they got the last time they appeared at this venue
Having managed to procrastinate long enough to delay their start time Dave flicks on his remaining keyboard & hits that sub-bass note that signals the intro to Sell Your Friends
The bulk of people expecting a 10pm start arriving to a wall of sound that is Sell Your Friends
10.04pm:
Make it Through Your Day, tonight's 3rd song is greeted with polite applause. The norm is for bands to receive enthusiasm for the first 2 or 3 songs, then the interest wanes when they realise that it is all the band has to offer. With Pocket Venus it has the opposite effect; although we have been living with them for the last 12 months, most people are just discovering them. So when they start a set it's greeted with a little interest; then by the 3rd or 4th song people realise this isn't just another wannabe band.
The now very full Night & Day are almost stopped in their tracks when the band play Why
I observed the crowd with a smirk as they stood open mouthed during the crescendo of How High (shame about the cheesey ending, but thankfully it's mouldy enough to have fallen off by the next gig).
Day one of the tour is over with added fans. The band pack up & await their next task; a radio session the afternoon before appearing at Hendre Hall in Talybont.
Sons of Selina guitarist, Robin calls my mobile to say he's in Piccadilly Gardens & what time are the band on.
