Charitable Funding Post 1 January 2014
By Pavuk Legal29 May 2018Charities and Not For Profit
By way of background on 1 January 2014, the Charities Act 2013 (Cth) (Act) commenced. Whilst there has been much conjecture about the Act the Act is currently Law. There is however currently an amendment to the Bill 2013 before Parliament to delay the commencement of the Act to 1 September 2014 (Bill). The Bill has been referred to three different parliamentary committees.
The Act introduces statutory definitions of 'charity' and 'charitable purpose' for the purposes of all Commonwealth legislation, in doing so the Act provides much-needed clarity in the not-for-profit sector. Businesses and individuals who wish to establish a deductable gift receipt charitable fund or a charitable fund during their lifetime or in the event of their death now have much more clarity.
What follows is an overview of the Act outlining the new definitions of charity and charitable purposes.
Definition of Charity
Under the Act, a charity means an entity:
That is not-for-profit;
All of the purposes of which are charitable purposes for the 'public benefit' (discussed below), or incidental or ancillary to, and in furtherance or in aid of, such purposes;
Which does not have any 'disqualifying purposes' (discussed below); and
Which is not an individual, a political party or a government entity.
'Charitable purpose' under the Act has been expanded to include the following purposes:
Advancing health;
Advancing education;
Advancing social or public welfare;
Advancing religion;
Advancing culture;
Promoting reconciliation, mutual respect and tolerance between groups of individuals in Australia;
Promoting or protecting human rights;
Advancing the security or safety of Australia or the Australian public;
Preventing or relieving the suffering of animals;
Advancing the natural environment;
Any other purpose beneficial to the general public that may be reasonably regarded as analogous to, or within the spirit of, the above purposes; and
Promoting or opposing a change to any matter established by law, policy or practice in the Commonwealth, a state, a territory or another country, in furtherance or protection of one or more of the above purposes.
Purposes for the 'Public Benefit'
Under the Act, an entity's purpose will be for the public benefit if the achievement of the purpose would be of public benefit and the benefit would be available to a sufficient section of the general public.
The following purposes are presumed to be purposes for the public benefit, in the absence of evidence to the contrary:
Preventing and relieving sickness, disease or human suffering;
Relieving the poverty, distress or disadvantage of individuals or families;
Caring for and supporting the aged or individuals with disabilities; and
Advancing religion.
'Disqualifying Purpose'
An entity will not be a charity under the Act if it has a disqualifying purpose.
A disqualifying purpose is defined in the Act to be a purpose which involves:
Engaging in, or promoting, activities that are unlawful or contrary to public policy; or
Promoting or opposing a political party or a candidate for political office.

A will is a legally binding document that among other things, allows a person to decide how they would like their assets disbursed after their death and also dictate the appointed guardians of any children that may suffer their loss. It is very important that individuals have a will in place because the future is uncertain, particularly with respect to accidental death.
Young or old, it is essential that individuals take the necessary steps to ensure that their wishes are followed in the event of their death. In the absence of a will, it will be left up to the Courts to best decide how our assets and dependents should be managed. For more general information about wills, visit here.
The case of Spence v. BMO Trust Company has brought to light the role that public policy can play when formulating and executing a will. In this case, the will of a seventy-one year old deceased black Jamaican-born minister was challenged when he left his entire estate (worth around $400,000.00) to a fifty-two year old daughter he hadn't seen in fifty years, as opposed to the fifty-one year old daughter who grew up with him and he gave accolades to, until her pregnancy.
Eric Spence the father of the two daughters, Verolin and Donna, died in January of 2013. When he separated from their mother, his daughter Verolin Spence remained with him, while his other daughter Donna Spence, left with her mother. After the separation, Donna did not have any contact with her father or sister and vice versa.
Five years after Eric migrated to Canada, Verolin followed, after completing her studies in London. In Canada, she continued her studies with some financial help from her father who was quite proud of her. Evidence showed that they had a strong relationship during this time. In 1992, he drew up a will that bequeathed her his home upon his passing.
Allegedly, in September of 2002 everything changed, when Verolin informed Mr. Spence that she was pregnant with a Caucasian man. He made it clear that he was ashamed of her, proceeded to minimize communication with her and did not claim her biracial son as his legitimate grandchild. In May of 2010 he changed his will, citing specifically that Verolin had no communication with him for years and did not maintain a relationship with him.
Verolin beseeched the Courts to set aside her father's last remaining will on the basis that it violated public policy and was therefore void. Her evidence to support this claim included an affidavit from a close friend of Eric's wife who said that he told her on more than one occasion that he had disowned his daughter Verolin because the father of her son was Caucasian.
Estate trustee BMO argued that the wording of the will bore no such racial categorization and that public policy should not be applied in the case. They allege that the will was formulated based on the estrangement between father and daughter and not discrimination.
Verolin's lawyer countered by pointing out many other cases where evidence beyond the expressed written word in a will had been used to determine whether or not the will had violated public policy. The Court agreed with Verolin and based on the unchallenged evidence of her father's blatant racism, the will was set aside and the estate was ordered to be split between the two daughters.
This decision is being appealed by Donna Spence and BMO. They insist that the will should be reinstated and that the Courts should not interfere with a person's wishes after their death. They believe that it would be setting a bad precedent and people's "reasoning" would come under constant scrutiny, thereby diminishing the entire purpose of a will.

Thank you so much for taking my case. When I first came to you, I was in such a deep hole I thought I would never get out. Other lawyers refused to take my case, but you agreed to step in and got me an order for support when others said it wasn't possible. I was beyond shocked when you were able to get me the settlement within a few months that I had been after for years. I can't thank you enough for all your great work. — Thornhill, Ontario

Newfoundland and Labrador's notable mining history carries on – by David Duval (Resource World – August 31, 2021)
https://resourceworld.com/
For an island that's commonly referred to as "The Rock" it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that mining has played an important if sporadic role in the economic, social, and cultural history of the eastern Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Mining is one of Newfoundland and Labrador's largest and oldest industries, and a major contributor to the economy of the province, especially in rural areas. More than 15 mineral commodities have been produced or mined in the province.
Five metal mines currently produce iron ore, nickel, copper, cobalt and gold. Other operations mine pyrophyllite, limestone and dolomite, amongst other commodities. The province's mining and mineral exploration companies directly provide high-paying jobs to more than 7,000 men and women.
Newfoundland's mineral potential was acknowledged publicly way back in the 1830s and 1840s by Joseph Jukes who noted many of the island's mineralogical and geological features in reports of his explorations. The first systematic attempt to map out the island's mineral potential appeared in the Geography and Resources of Newfoundland that was published in 1877.
Both Canada and the United States were conducting similar surveys at the time as part of a worldwide trend. The huge iron ore deposits of Labrador and neighboring areas of Québec were discovered by the Canadian survey in 1892.

It is with great sadness that I make this post today. Having visited with dear sweet Aunt Margaret this past August, I had no inkling, and no one but God knew, that today we would be experiencing such loss. For all my years, I remember her with respect and admiration; as a wonderful, caring wife who served and loved her husband.
Bearing a very proper but not stuffy look, Aunt Margaret had every white hair in place, and modest makeup just so; always wore a fine dress; always smiled and hugged me; always asked about my family.
One fall afternoon a few years back, I arrived at the old homeplace for an unannounced visit. There I found Aunt Margaret, her sister Justine and Uncle Robert standing outside making apple butter in a large copper kettle over an open flame. Yes, she had on a dress and looked just as pretty as if she was going to church on Easter morning. Her hospitality so genuine and warm; I left there that day with a jar of homemade apple butter to savor the memory of a cherished lady.
I'm very fond of all my family, but as we gather during these times of grief, I am especially thankful for those who have been a significant part of my life. I will miss her dearly. Nevertheless, let's not grieve for her because of the hope we have in Christ (Thessalonians). Let's celebrate her life and the joy she now knows in the presence of her Savior Jesus Christ, the one true Almighty God.
paths of righteousness for His name's sake.
with oil; my cup runneth over.

'Sister Wives' Reality Star Comes Out as Lesbian on The Show
January 3, 2017 By The Next Family
Growing up is hard enough, but doing so under the lights and cameras as a TLC reality star couldn't have been easy. For Sister Wives reality star, Mariah Brown, it was even a little harder than that.
Sister Wives features the Brown family, a Mormon family that's a part of the Apostolic United Brethren church which believes in polygamy. On Sunday's episode, 21-year-old Mariah Brown, daughter of Kody and Meri, brought together her five parents — her dad and his four wives — plus her grandmother and told them that she was gay.
"This feels so awkward," Mariah said as she prepared to share her news. "I'm freaking out."
And then she said it: "Um, I'm gay."
Her biological mother responded silently, while two other mothers said, "Are you really?" and "Are you serious?"
Her parents were in shock. Before coming out, they thought she was going to say she was moving closer to home or that she got into medical school. The result was far different.
The show ended in a cliffhanger, with Mariah responding with, "Yeah," however, there are some clues from a preview as to what happens on next week's episode.
At one point, her bio mom Meri says, "I did not see it coming. I thought I knew my daughter, I didn't."
Later she tells Mariah, "I just don't want to say the wrong thing and be offensive, but at the same time I want to be able to say what I feel."
Her father, Kody is seen in the preview saying: "We're not happy that Mariah's gay, we're happy that she knows herself."
Though her family is polygamous, a family and marriage type that is judged often, her family's church believes homosexuality is a "sin." It's not exactly clear if her parents will accept her fully or not, and we'll just have to wait until next week's episode to find out.
But until then, it seems Mariah is getting a lot of love and support on social media. Check it out below:
@mariahlian To say I'm happy for you, is an understatement. Thank you for being you, beautiful girl! You are an inspiration! ❤ #loveislove
— Audrey Kriss (@ohheyitsaudrey) January 2, 2017
wow okay y'all making me cry with your support. thank you thank you thank you thank you😌😌🏳🌈

Selena Gomez is officially back in the studio. Her highly anticipated Revival follow-up is still nowhere in sight, but she is dancing and singing her heart out to her friends' new tunes. That's better than nothing, right?
In a series of Instagram videos posted Monday (January 16), Gomez and her collaborators — songwriters Julia Michaels and Justin Tranter, along with Republic Group president Charlie Walk — are partying along to "Issues," Michaels's debut single released last week.
Michaels's friendship with Selena goes way back. Before releasing "Issues," she racked up songwriting credits for tons of your favorite pop songs, from Justin Bieber's "Sorry" to Hailee Steinfeld's "Love Myself." With Selena, she worked on tracks from Revival and Stars Dance: "Good for You," "Hands to Myself," "Slow Down," and more.
Perhaps these two found time to work on Selena's future music too. Sel's been teasing that ~something~ is coming.
For her latest hint, she captioned the 'gram below "Vente pa' ca," which translates to "come here." This is also the name of a Ricky Martin song. Maybe she's just a huge fan, or — gasp — could she be teaming up with him for a collab?
Whatever 2017 holds for Selena, fingers crossed that this singalong session will inspire some new beats. In the meantime, Selenators have "Issues" to hold them over.

Eldred Township is a township in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 1,996 at the 2020 census. It is part of the Williamsport Metropolitan Statistical Area. The unincorporated village of Warrensville is located in Eldred Township.

History

Formation and early settlement
Eldred Township is one of the smallest townships in Lycoming County. A petition was filed proposing the formation of the new township from Hepburn Township in 1858. The court directed an election to be held at Warrensville on October 12, 1858. The question of division was hotly contested, resulting in 109 votes for to 91 against the proposition. On the November 16, 1858, Judge Jordan made a decree erecting the township, and it was named Eldred, in honor of C. D. Eldred, who was then an associate on the bench.

The first white settlers in Eldred Township were mostly Quakers, attracted by the land speculations of Robert Morris, and others in Muncy Township. Among these settlers were the Winners, Wilsons, and Marshalls. The neighborhood of their settlement is now known by the title of "Quaker Hill".

In 1892, in the northern part of the township, David Kiess & Brother owned and ran a sawmill. J. W. Milnor Sr. also had one in the same section, and in the southeastern part of the township there was one run by C. D. Heim. All these mills were located on and fed by Mill Creek. There were two gristmills in Warrensville: one, owned by J. K. Crawford, was run by water; the other, owned by C. Aderhold, had steam and water both.

Warrensville
Warrensville is the only village in the township. In 1842, when there was talk of applying for a post office, several persons met in the store of John Hoffman, on Mill Creek, and the question of a name came up. "Warrensville", in honor of General Joseph Warren, was proposed, while others suggested "Livingston". A vote was taken and Warrensville carried. The post office was established July 25, 1842, named Warrensville, and Samuel Torbert was appointed postmaster.

The land on which Warrensville stands was cleared in 1802 by Samuel Carpenter. He erected a grist and saw mill and carding machine, which were the first improvements of the kind in the settlement. They proved of great service to the early settlers. These original works have long since passed out of existence. The village of Warrensville was laid out in 1841 by John Weisel, but never has been incorporated.

In 1892 it contained two stores and one Temperance Hotel, kept by Isaac M. Else, as well as a tannery, carried on by E. W. Lundy, two wagon makers and two blacksmith shops.

Geography
Eldred Township is in central Lycoming County and is bordered by Hepburn Township to the west, Gamble Township to the north, Plunketts Creek Township to the northeast, Upper Fairfield Township to the east, and Loyalsock Township to the south. Loyalsock Creek, a southward-flowing tributary of the West Branch Susquehanna River, forms the eastern boundary of the township.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the township has a total area of , of which  are land and , or 0.77% are water. The eastern side of the township is drained directly by Loyalsock Creek, while the center is drained by Mill Creek, which flows south to join the Loyalsock, approximately  above Montoursville. The tributaries of Mill Creek are Sugarcamp Run at the northern border of the township, Calebs Run in the northeastern part, and Lick Run in the southern part. The southwestern part of the township is drained by Millers Run, a direct tributary of the West Branch, while the extreme western part of the township is drained by a second Mill Creek, which flows west to Lycoming Creek and thence to the West Branch.

As of the census of 2000, there were 2,178 people, 770 households, and 646 families residing in the township. The population density was 152.1 people per square mile (58.7/km2). There were 798 housing units at an average density of 55.7/sq mi (21.5/km2). The racial makeup of the township was 98.67% White, 0.37% African American, 0.05% Native American, 0.37% Asian, 0.14% from other races, and 0.41% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 0.18% of the population.

There were 770 households, out of which 39.5% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 75.5% were married couples living together, 5.3% had a female householder with no husband present, and 16.0% were non-families. 13.9% of all households were made up of individuals, and 5.7% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.83 and the average family size was 3.12.

In the township the population was spread out, with 27.0% under the age of 18, 7.0% from 18 to 24, 27.4% from 25 to 44, 29.2% from 45 to 64, and 9.4% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 39 years. For every 100 females there were 101.7 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 99.5 males.

The median income for a household in the township was $46,780, and the median income for a family was $49,208. Males had a median income of $36,111 versus $21,949 for females. The per capita income for the township was $19,426. About 4.5% of families and 5.1% of the population were below the poverty line, including 7.2% of those under age 18 and 7.5% of those age 65 or over.

Notable people
 Horace Willson (1878-1967), founder and president of Columbia Phonograph Co., later Columbia Records, and father of Hollywood agent Henry Willson, was born in Eldred Township and lived there as a child before his family moved to Williamsport.

Immigrants with medical training found they were able to qualify and practice more easily in Illinois than in Missouri and that swelled the population, he said.
"Much of the early East St. Louis business community was a Jewish affair," he said.
There also was a United Hebrew Congregation of the Tri Cities in Madison.
In Belleville, Temple Beth Israel was hosting services on North High Street. It was organized in 1913 and the first building went up in 1918. The present temple dates from 1941, according to a plaque on the building. In East St. Louis, the Agudas Achim Congregation eventually merged with Belleville. Their temple was sold to the Mount Zion Baptist Church.
Present membership in the Belleville temple is about 35, which has been a pretty constant number, said Don Katz, a longtime member of the temple.
He said that many businesses in downtown Belleville were owned by Jews, such as Abe Small and Small's Department Store, Imber's owned by two cousins both named Hy, and Peskin's, a department store owned by four brothers.
"Each had a department," Katz said.
The Jewish Federation was established here after World War I to help out refugees.
"It's kind of like a Jewish United Way," Low said.
The federation covers 45,000 square miles in parts of the three states and involves about 1,000 Jewish men, women and children.
Hy Ruffman, director of the federation for 30-plus years, was an educator who would travel from place to place and lead services. He started a summer camp in 1949 as a place for bar mitzvah boys to come together and study intensely. It grew into a full-fledged residential camp, Camp Ben Frankel near Carbondale.
The shortage of rabbis made his services important, Low said.
"At other times, he might call by phone and for a half-hour or so, the child could recite blessings in Hebrew," Low said. "He would critique their responses. He was one of the major forces in the area."
The federation sponsors events such as community dinners that bring Jewish people together from a wide area. It also sponsors scholars in residence and visiting rabbis.
Low said Judaism is different from many religions in that each person can talk directly to God without an intermediary.
"A knowledgeable lay person can lead services," he said.
Jews fit right into the community, he said, even being part of the community that wasn't so reputable.
"There were even Jewish gangsters, people who ran moonshine," Low said.

The Liz is the quintessential "all-round" women's bike. The Liz offers a perfect blend between performance, weight, strength, stiffness and especially comfort for long days in the saddle. Its unique diamond shape tubing creates reinforced edges for a robust frame with increased impact-resistance.
For these reasons, it is the top choice frame for the Lotto-Soudal team. In fact, the women's team races with it all year long. It is lightweight and stiff with built-in comfort to handle the roughest of terrains.
The Liz SL is a top women's "all-round" frame. The high-modulus carbon layup consists of 30/24-ton fibres. Equipped with caliper brakes for a bit of weight savings over the disc version. It is the only bike you need for all jobs. Go from tackling the climbs in the Giro d'Italia Femminile and hitting the cobbles at the infamous Ronde van Vlaanderen to competing for town line sprints. It's all yours for the taking.


With a fruitless season so far, McLaren are not expecting a race win but are focusing on getting it right next year.
Misfiring McLaren have backed away from talk of winning a race this Formula One season and say doing so will be a 'real challenge'.
The British-based team's managing director Jonathan Neale told reporters on Wednesday ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix that it would be a tall order to expect to see Jenson Button or Mexican Sergio Perez on top of the podium before 2014.
"I think that will be a real challenge, if I'm honest," he said.
"We're almost through August and there is a lot of work to be done to get ready for next year, so I think inevitably we'll increasingly start to focus on 2014."
Formula One is introducing a new V6 engine next year with energy recovery systems and the change is one of the biggest the sport has seen in decades.
Button, the 2009 champion with Brawn GP, has not finished higher than fifth in 10 races so far this season while Perez's best is a sixth place.
Despite the slump from having the fastest car at the end of last season, Button told reporters before last month's Hungarian Grand Prix that he felt the team could still win a race and Sunday's race at Spa would be the best chance.
Button won the race from pole position last year but Neale said he wanted to 'underplay' the Briton's words.
"I think his euphoria was that he could still see the leaders for a greater proportion of the time in the last few races we've been to," he said.
"Spa is a fantastic place, drivers are always excited to get there and we love it as well, but it is notoriously difficult," said Neale.
"I don't think anyone would go feeling confident."
Button and team principal Martin Whitmarsh also put some distance between them and the optimism of Hungary in a pre-race preview.
Whitmarsh said the team were "not contenders for outright victory this time round" while Button declared that "we don't go to Spa with the package to win".
McLaren, the second most successful team after Ferrari in terms of championships and race wins, last went through a season without a victory in 2006.

Q: How do i get values from a post form and use them in the rails controller My controller needs to use the values from the form to get user and start a session.

                <%= submit_tag 'Log In' %>

            <% end %>

routes
resources :sessions

A: your uid and role parameter will be available inside a symbol called session
so the params will look like this

params: {
# other  symbols
  session: {
     uid: // your uid,
     role: // your role
  }
}

so when you access the uid and role like this
uid = params[:uid]
role = params[:role]

it will be nil since they are stored inside the session s symbol.
so the correct way to access them is like this
def create
    uid = params[:session][:uid]
    role = params[:session][:role]

    user=User.find_by(userid:uid,role:role)
    if user

        session[ :user_id]=user.id
        redirect_to controller: 'stuff', action: 'index'
    else
        render 'new', alert:

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in men and the third most common cause of cancer death. It is more common in older men, with 85% of cases diagnosed in men over 65 years of age.
The risk of being diagnosed with prostate cancer by age of 85 is 1 in 5 men.
Currently, there are no tests available with sufficient accuracy to screen populations of men for early signs of prostate cancer.
Urinary symptoms are nonspecific and include frequent urination, particularly at night, pain on urination, blood in the urine and a weak stream. More widespread disease often spreads to the bones and gives pain or unexplained weight loss and fatigue.
Diagnosis is made using a digital rectal examination to feel the prostate and a blood test for PSA. A rectal ultrasound can image the prostate and multiple needle biopsies are used to detect the disease and determine its aggressiveness (the Gleason grade of 1-5 is added from two samples to form a score; low scores of 2-4 indicate slow growing disease).
The staging system used for prostate cancer is the TNM system, which describes the stage of the cancer from stage I to stage IV. Ninety per cent of patients present with local disease. Bone and CT scans are used to determine spread.
The risk of prostate cancer rises with age, increasing rapidly over 50 years. Family history increases the chances of developing the disease. There has been some association with a diet high in fats and low in fresh fruit and vegetables. Men of African descent are at higher risk than men of European descent, and there is an association with high testosterone levels.
There are no proven measures to prevent prostate cancer.
Low-grade disease confined to the prostate may be 'watched' (regular surveillance by doctor) if not causing symptoms.
Surgery with curative intent removes the whole prostate (radical prostatectomy). The main side-effects are impotence and incontinence. Radical radiotherapy can also be given with curative intent, either with external radiation or by implanting radioactive seeds (brachytherapy). Side-effects are similar to surgery, however bowel problems may also occur.
For widespread disease, hormone therapy reduces the stimulus of the male hormones. Removing the testis or injecting luteinising hormone releasing hormone (LHRH), or anti-androgen hormones, can hold the disease for three to four years and may improve outcomes if given early with radiation in high risk patients. When hormone resistance occurs, chemotherapy with docetaxel can be used, or mitoxantrone can control symptoms. Bisphosphonates (e.g. zoldedronate) can be used to help control bone metastases.
An individual's prognosis depends on the type and stage of cancer, as well as their age and general health at the time of diagnosis. The five year survival rate for men diagnosed with prostate cancer is over 92%. Nearly all patients who present with localised disease will live beyond five years, with the 10- and 15-year survival rates being 93% and 77% respectively.

Q: Spartan 3ADSP device DNA read via JTAG how to read device DNA for Spartan 3A DSP via JTAG cable using iMPACT tool ? and if any other methods available to cross check the code readead deviceDNA value, whether it is correct deviceDNA value of that device OR not?

A: There is a Xilinx AR for this:
AR# 40856 iMPACT- How can I read DNA from my FPGA with IMPACT?

For Spartan-3A series devices (Spartan-3A, Spartan-3AN
  andSpartan-3ANDSP)
    To read if the DNA iMPACT batch mode command is available. ("readDna -p <position>") How to get the Xilinx Device DNA via iMPACT

batch mode?
  1. Generate iMPACT batch mode file say ".cmd" (in any ASCII text Editor) with following text commands in it. You can run this in
  iMPACT batch mode. In the commands below, "X" denotes the position of
  the targeted device.
    setMode -bs
    setCable -port auto
    Identify
    identifyMPM
    Readdna -p X
    exit

2.Run above generated file "readDNA.cmd" (ASCII text file) in IMPACT batch mode command line as:
    Impact -batch <filename>.cmd
    The above command will display the DNA number on the DOS command console.
    Note: If FPGA is configured prior to read Device DNA via JTAG port then the value will be wrong. Please make sure that FPGA is not

configured from external Flash or JTAG device. To achieve this simply
  change mode pins or erase the external Flash deviceand powercycle the
  board.

-}

-- Do notation considered harmful

{-

Didactics

    -- The do notation hides functional details.
        -- Since do notation is used almost everywhere IO takes place, newcomers quickly believe that the do notation is necessary for doing IO,
        -- Newcomers might think that IO is somehow special and non-functional, in contrast to the advertisement for Haskell being purely functional,
        -- Newcomers might think that the order of statements determines the order of execution.
    -- The order of statements is also not the criterion for the evaluation order. Also here only the data dependencies count.

Library design

    -- Unfortunately, the do notation is so popular that people write more things with monads than necessary. See for instance the Binary package. It contains the Put monad, which in principle has nothing to do with a monad. All "put" operations have the monadic result (). In fact it is a Writer monad using the Builder type, and all you need is just the Builder monoid. Even more unfortunate, the applicative functors were introduced to Haskell's standard libraries only after monads and arrows, thus many types are instances of Monad and Arrow classes, but not as many are instances of Applicative. There is no special syntax for applicative functors because it is hardly necessary.

Safety

    -- The silent neglect of return values of functions. In an imperative language it is common to return an error code and provide the real work by side effects. In Haskell this cannot happen, because functions have no side effects. If you ignore the result of a Haskell function, the function will not even be evaluated.

    -- The situation is different for IO: While processing the IO, you might still ignore the contained return value.

Additional combinators

    -- Using the infix combinators for writing functions simplifies the addition of new combinators. Consider for instance a monad for random distributions. This monad cannot be an instance of MonadPlus, because there is no mzero (it would be an empty list of events, but their probabilities do not sum up to 1) and mplus is not associative because we have to normalize the sum of probabilities to 1. Thus we cannot use standard guard for this monad.

    However we would like to write the following:

    do f <- family
        guard (existsBoy f)
        return f
    Given a custom combinator which performs a filtering with subsequent normalization called

    (>>=?) :: Distribution a -> (a -> Bool) -> Distribution a

    we can rewrite this easily:

    family >>=? existsBoy

    Note that the (>>=?) combinator introduces the risk of returning an invalid distribution (empty list of events),

Alternative combinators

    If you are used to writing monadic functions using infix combinators (>>) and (>>=) you can easily switch to a different set of combinators.

    This is useful when there is a monadic structure that does not fit into the current Monad type constructor class, where the monadic result type cannot be constrained.

    This is e.g. useful for the Set data type, where the element type must have a total order.

-- Haskell without if-then-else syntax makes Haskell more logical and consistent. There is no longer confusion to beginners like: "What is so special about if-then-else, that it needs a separate syntax? I though it could be simply replaced by a function. Maybe there is some subtlety that I'm not able to see right now." There is no longer confusion with the interference of if-then-else syntax with do notation. Removing if-then-else simplifies every language tool, say compiler, text editor, analyzer and so on.

-- One other approach to consider is that let or where can often be implemented using lambda lifting and let floating, incurring at least the cost of introducing a new name. The above example:

-- where can hide the CAF, whereas let explicitly show them

-- In the second case, fib' is redefined for every argument x. The compiler cannot know whether you intended this -- while it increases time complexity it may reduce space complexity. Thus it will not float the definition out from under the binding of x.

-- In contrast, in the first function, fib' can be moved to the top level by the compiler. The where clause hid this structure and made the application to x look like a plain eta expansion, which it is not.

fib =
    let fib' 0 = 0

-- Terminator vs. separator

-- Terminator: There is one symbol after each element.
-- Separator: There is a symbol between each element. This is what the functions Data.List.intersperse and Data.List.unwords generate. In Haskell language, the following syntaxes allow separators only:

{-

Liberal choice between separators and terminators:

export lists: module A(a,b,c) where and module A(a,b,c,) where (and module A(a,b,c,,,) where ...)
import lists: import A(a,b,c) and import A(a,b,c,)

-- Unary operator

-- In Haskell there is only one unary operator, namely the unary minus. It has been discussed in length, whether the unary minus shall be part of numeric literals or whether it shall be an independent operator.

-- View pattern
-- ref: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/ViewPatterns

type Typ

data TypView = Unit
            | Arrow Typ Typ

view :: Typ -> TypView

-- additional operations for constructing Typ's ...

-- In current Haskell, using this signature is a little inconvenient: It is necessary to iterate the case, rather than using an equational function definition. And the situation is even worse when the matching against t is buried deep inside another pattern. In response, programmers sometimes eschew type abstraction in favor of revealing a concrete datatype that is easy to pattern-match against.

size :: Typ -> Integer
size t = case view t of
    Unit -> 1
    Arrow t1 t2 -> size t1 + size t2

-- View patterns permit calling the view function inside the pattern and matching against the result:

size (view -> Unit) = 1
size (view -> Arrow t1 t2) = size t1 + size t2

{-

Scoping for expr -> pat:

The variables bound by the view pattern are the variables bound by pat.
Any variables in expr are bound occurrences. Variables bound by patterns to the left of a view pattern expression are in scope. For example:
In function definitions, variables bound by matching earlier curried arguments may be used in view pattern expressions in later arguments.
   example :: (String -> Integer) -> String -> Bool
   example f (f -> 4) = True
Variables can be bound to the left in tuples and data constructors:
   example :: ((String -> Integer,Integer), String) -> Bool
   example ((f,_), f -> 4) = True
Typing If expr has type t1 -> t2 and pat matches a t2, then the whole view pattern has type t1.

Evaluation To match a value v against a pattern (expr -> pat), evaluate (expr v) and match the result against pat.

-}

-- Both pattern

-- A "both pattern" pat1 & pat2 matches a value against both pat1 and pat2 and succeeds only when they both succeed. A special case is as-patterns, x@p, where the first pattern is a variable. Both patterns can be programmed using view patterns:

both : a -> (a,a)
both x = (x,x)

f (both -> (xs, h : t)) = h : (xs ++ t)

-- As-pattern

-- x@p

-- N+k patterns

np :: Num a => a -> a -> Maybe a
np k n | k <= n = Just (n-k)
       | otherwise = Nothing

fib :: Num a => a -> a
fib 0 = 1
fib 1 = 1
fib (np 2 -> Just n) = fib (n + 1) + fib n

Insolvency News – 4th Quarter 10
This entry was posted in Insolvency News and tagged Bankruptcy Debt Collections Insolvency Liquidations NEWS on January 24, 2014 by admin.
COMPANY INSOLVENCIES
There were 3,955 compulsory liquidations and creditors' voluntary liquidations in total in England and Wales in the fourth quarter of 2010 (on a seasonally adjusted basis). This was a decrease of 0.2% on the previous quarter and a decrease of 11.3% on the same period a year ago.
This was made up of 1,200 compulsory liquidations (which are up 5.8% on the previous quarter but down 9.9% on the corresponding quarter of the previous year), and 2,755 creditors' voluntary liquidations (which are down 2.6% on the previous quarter but down 11.8% on the corresponding quarter of the previous year).

Additionally, there were 1,114 other corporate insolvencies in the fourth quarter of 2010 (not seasonally adjusted) comprising 302 receiverships, 642 administrations and 170 company voluntary arrangements. In total these represented a decrease of 24.0% on the same period a year ago. Within this, administrations were down 24.4%.

INDIVIDUAL INSOLVENCIES (not seasonally adjusted)
There were 30,729 individual insolvencies in England and Wales in the fourth quarter of 2010. This was a decrease of 13.6% on the same period a year ago.
This was made up of 12,049 bankruptcies (which were down 29.2% on the corresponding quarter of the previous year), 12,508 Individual Voluntary Arrangements (IVAs), (which were down 5.4% on the corresponding quarter of the previous year) and 6,172 Debt Relief Orders (DROs), (which were up 15.4% on the corresponding quarter of the previous year) (see 'Notes to Editors' paragraph 12).
In the fourth quarter of 2010, 85.4% of bankruptcies were made on the petition of the debtor, broadly comparable to the levels for recent quarters. The percentage of bankruptcy orders involving trading debts (self-employed bankruptcies) was 11.9% in the third quarter of 2010 (fourth quarter 2010 figures for trading-related bankruptcies are not yet available), a little lower than the levels seen throughout 2009 and the first half of 2010.

STATISTICS RELEASE: 2010 SUMMARY, ENGLAND AND WALES
There were 16,045 compulsory liquidations and creditors' voluntary liquidations in total in 2010 – a decrease of 15.9% on 2009.
This was made up of 4,792 compulsory liquidations (which are down 15.1% on 2009), and 11,253 creditors' voluntary liquidations (which are down 16.2% on 2009).
In 2010 there were also 4,909 other corporate insolvencies, comprising 1,309 receiverships, 2,835 administrations and 765 company voluntary arrangements. In total these represented a decrease of 22.8% on 2009.
INDIVIDUAL INSOLVENCIES
There were 135,089 individual insolvencies in England and Wales in 2010, an increase of 0.7% from 2009. This included 59,194 bankruptcies (which were down 20.7% on 2009), 50,716 Individual Voluntary Arrangements (IVAs), (which were up 6.5% on 2009) and 25,179 Debt Relief Orders (DROs).
The Debt Relief Order is an individual insolvency procedure which came into force on 6 April 2009 and which provides an alternative route into personal insolvency for certain categories of over-indebted individuals, subject to some restrictions. Additional details are provided under the "Notes to Editors", paragraph 12 and on the Insolvency Service website. Some of those who had a DRO approved would have been declared bankrupt had the DRO route not been an option, but it is not possible to quantify this proportion.
Figure 4 shows how the numbers of insolvencies have changed since 1987 (when the first IVAs were registered).
In 2010, 85.6% of bankruptcies were made on the petition of the debtor, comparable to the level in 2009. For bankruptcy orders there has been a pronounced shift towards debtor's petition bankruptcies and away from creditor's petitions in recent years.
COMPANY LIQUIDATION AND INDIVIDUAL INSOLVENCY RATES: LONGER-TERM PERSPECTIVE
In the twelve months ending Q4 2010, approximately 1 in 138 active companies (or 0.7% of all active registered companies) went into liquidation, which is a slight decrease from the previous quarter, when this figure stood at 1 in 133. As Figure 3 shows, the liquidation rate remains low compared to a peak of 2.6% in 1993, and the average of 1.3% seen over the last 25 years. It should be noted that the number of active companies has changed considerably over this period; there were 2.3 million active registered companies in Q4 2010; this compares with only about 900,000 in the early 1990s and less than 800,000 in 1986.
In the twelve months ending Q4 2010, approximately 1 in 323 people became insolvent. This is down from 1 in 311 in the previous quarter. The individual insolvency rate has displayed a steeply upward path (with some fluctuations) since 2004 and is currently elevated compared to the annual average of 1 in 1800 (0.1%) people seen over the last 25 years.

Finally back in the studio after almost 6 weeks on the road. It feels good getting back to work on this special piece. I felt like we were slipping into a rut by the time we left for Texas, efforts seemed rushed and directionless. The time away actually was good, a little excitement in the process is back. So here we go, starting earlier in the morning each day to avoid the triple digit days trying to coax an cohesive image from ruby film and ink. We are working with a slightly different style focusing on simple shapes, patterns and new colors...resisting the urge to dive into minute detail. Hopefully this new piece will finished by months end and will be with us on our next show.
It's a new year and as we work on new pieces we also are in the middle of our most stressful time of the year for artists who sell on the road. It's application time when we begin to determine where our fortunes will take us in 2015. Will we get to return once again to the shows that we visited for the first time last year and were successful for us? Will our favorites want us back again? We apply to shows knowing that our fate is determined by what shows we get accepted to and which ones decide to accept other artists for this year. Last year we were so fortunate to get into shows where we had applied for many years and we know our chances are slim to get to return. So now we wait to hear the news and we already know we will not be returning to some favorites.
When we visit any show and people look at our work and we hear them say, "well maybe next year" and we know they don't understand that for us there may not be a next year. That has now happened with a show in Texas that we waited 8 years to get into. It is so hard to be accepted because every artist wants to participate and last year was our year. It was so wonderful, truly everything everyone said it would be. Then this year we received our "decline" letter and we were brought back to earth. For those artists who get to participate in consecutive years, it is a real blessing and maybe sometime it will happen for us. We did get invited back though to several fantastic shows this year and we are very excited to know that we will be returning without worrying already. Not everyone gets that reassurance.
So for today we wait to see what happens, who will say yes this year and who will decide that this is the year for work that is different than ours. If we aren't coming back to your city it is not always our call. We are looking at lots of new venues as well this year so it might just be a really exciting 2015.
There are times when you wonder if there is just not a better way to go about this. When you are standing outside somewhere and people come to see you and the magic is just not there. The work you have to share is the same but it doesn't seem to get received in the same way. You begin to question if you should have brought something different this time. Did we set up the booth wrong? So they want metal at this show and not two dimensional wall art? The glass booth is selling why aren't we? The questions begin to eat at you almost from the start. How can you do one show on one weekend and everyone loves your work and the next weekend not sell a thing?
Standing in public and having to talk about the work you made with your own two hands is overwhelming at times. What do people really think? Do they realize that when they see you that each and every sale is important? That this is not a hobby to fill the hours between your "real" job somewhere? So many times when people look at the work and then ask if they can buy something on your website I often wonder, do you really want to buy something or are you politely telling us that you want to leave now. For every artist at the art shows that we do, the time that an artist wants to sell their work is NOW. Now when they have just spent money on gas, hotels, food, and booth fees. The promise of a sale in the future may be made with the best of intentions but it won't easily get us home to pay our bills.
We recently completed a run of four shows and there was one show in the run that simply confounded us. The entire weekend all we heard was the dreaded "Do you have a card?". This is every artists common complaint. We have just traveled all the way to your town to show you our work. We don't know if we will ever have another opportunity to come again (since all shows are juried each year) and you want to know if you can buy it later online. Here it is for you to look at in person, to talk to us in person and yet the entire weekend all anyone wanted to know was if they could look at it online. They loved the work, at least that what they said. It just drives you crazy.

Music Review: Dondria's 'Dondria vs Phatfffat'

By Shirea L. Carroll · Updated October 29, 2020
With the release of "Dondria vs. Phatfffat," Dondria Fields joins an intriguing list of artists who have adopted a second persona. Though we've seen it in more high profile artists like T.I., Beyonce, and Janet Jackson, very seldom do new artists come straight out the gate comfortable enough to give their audience that type of insight — but So So Def recording artist Dondria has. Her long-awaited debut album, "Dondria vs. Phatfffat," released today, is the product of opportunity, favor and hard work. The viral superstar, signed by Jermaine Dupri after becoming a YouTube sensation, used this album to prove she's more than just a girl who lucked out with a computer cam and a mic. "[The album] explains the difference between the silly girl the world met on the computer and the artist who is now showing she can do more than sing in front of a webcam." she says. For a debut, 'Dondria vs. Phatfffat' does prove her talent, and the album is filled with relatively age-appropriate songs that showcase her ability to rely on her own vocals, not auto-tune. The catchphrase "real R&B" is tossed around so loosely nowadays that the definition of 'real' barely carries any weight. Dondria, 24, is able to deliver R&B reminiscent of the '90s better than some of her more seasoned peers. Some credit has to be given to producer/label executive JD, who wrote 95 percent of the album, including the hit single, "You're the One," the one track musically, vocally and lyrically that outshines many of the other tracks on the album. There are a few songs that come in a close second; "Where Did We Go Wrong," a catchy tune that could easily pass for a Destiny's Child track, attempts to figure out what causes a good relationship to make a wrong turn. The head-bopper, "No More," uses a sample from rapper 50 Cent "21 Questions," and describes what happens when a woman has had enough. The closing ballad, "Kissed by the Sun," is a beautiful reflection on her journey in career and love, showcasing Dondria's crisp and refreshing vocals. Musically, Dondria brings the R&B sound that this trendy "urban-pop" genre is missing, but the album lacks progression on the production side. The beats on songs like, "Believer" and "Still Be With Me," fall flat and reduce her number of chances at another huge hit. Lyrically, there are few misses on the album, one of which is the sex-driven "Making Love." When dealing with the obviously sensual, the fresh-faced singer lacks the emotional depth required to make the song believable. "Dondria vs. Phatfffat" is more than enough evidence this Texas girl won't be a one-album wonder. Both Dondria and Phatfffat have the vocal chops to go the extra mile, and once polished this diamond in the rough will sparkle.

'Standout' Dom Sibley has earned Test chance, says old Surrey partner Rory Burns
Posted by Admin in News Comments Off on 'Standout' Dom Sibley has earned Test chance, says old Surrey partner Rory Burns
Rory Burns has only played a dozen Tests but looks set to link-up with his fifth* opening partner later this week in Mount Maunganui. But this time, at least, there will be a familiar face at the other end when he takes strike.
While Dominic Sibley may have left Burns' county, Surrey, a couple of years ago, the pair played a huge amount of cricket together as they were growing up. As well as providing many lifts to training and matches, Burns was also at the other end when Sibley made his Surrey debuts for the first-team and the seconds, as well as his debut in an England shirt last week in Whangarei. (Indeed, it is probably a reflection of England's reliance upon private schools that three of England's last four openers – Burns, Sibley and Jason Roy – all attended Whitgift.)
ALSO READ: England settle for draw in tour match
As a result, Burns is well placed to offer a view on Sibley's capabilities as opener.
"I've known Sibbo for – we were trying to work it out the other day – since I was 12 or 13," Burns said. "I don't really remember him at school because I left Whitgift at 16. But I remember seeing him down at academy stuff, Surrey stuff and he only lives a town down so I gave him a lot of lifts when he was coming through in the second team. I remember driving him to most of those games. I won't have to drive him to this week: we've got the coach
"It would be a pretty cool feeling to open with him on his Test debut, too. I'm very proud of him to have got to where he has, particularly having left Surrey and doing what he's done at Warwickshire. That's a testament to him as a character.
"He showed all his attributes: his determination and his character to bat for days at a time, to put up the weight of runs he did and to bat the number of balls he did in tricky conditions you get in county cricket with a lot of assistance for bowlers a lot of the time. He's earned his spot."
While Burns is somewhat defensive of Roy's record – and not just because Roy served as one of his best men only a few weeks ago (Surrey seamer Matt Dunn was the other) – he accepts that Sibley may be more obviously suited to the role of Test opener.
"Obviously Jason's main grounding is white-ball cricket, but his red-ball cricket is very good as well. I don't think we can judge him on his Test career batting out of position," Burns said. "But I think him and Sibs' styles are slightly different. Sibs is more traditional in terms of opening the batting in red-ball cricket because that's where he's learned most of his stuff.
"His concentration levels and determination to go about that process are his strong points. He likes batting time, he can bat days at a time and he's willing to grind bowlers down and not necessarily race away at the start of an innings. He's willing to build an innings and wait for people to come to him and pick them off when he can. Sibbo was the standout batter in the country regardless of position."

There is little doubt Sibley has earned this opportunity. He not only scored more than 300 more runs than any man in Division One of the Championship in 2019, he faced more than a thousand deliveries more than anyone else in that division. But the New Zealand bowlers will have noted that he was struck on the grille of the helmet by an excellent short ball during the game against the New Zealand A side and flashed at one outside off stump a few minutes later. More short balls are likely.
As for Burns, he is probably as established as any England opener since the years of Andrews Strauss and Alastair Cook. He has already achieved something Cook never could – a century in a home Ashes series – while his tally of runs in that series (390) also surpassed anything Cook ever achieved against Australia at home. Bearing in mind how tough opening the batting was in the summer of 2019 – David Warner averaged 9.50, remember – his average of 39.00 was a fine effort.
He has also looked an asset in the field, taking some sharp catches in the cordon, and there have been early whispers that he could, one day, emerge as a leadership contender.
"You're never truly settled because there's always another Test coming," Burns said. "New Zealand have got a fine bowling attack to try and expose any weaknesses in your game. It's a summer to build on for me, but at the end of it there were a few scores I left out there. So there's a lot to keep improving upon."
There sure is. But, in picking two specialist openers to combat the new ball, England are, at last, giving themselves the best opportunity to improve in New Zealand.
*Oh, and just in case you are wracking your brain trying to remember Burns' Test opening partners, they are: Keaton Jennings, Joe Denly, Jack Leach and Roy.

Listen to Rockabye Baby's 'Lullaby Renditions of the Doors'
Jeff Giles Published: April 28, 2017
The Doors join the growing ranks of artists to receive the Rockabye Baby treatment with the April 28 release of Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of the Doors.
As with other installments in the popular series, Lullaby Renditions of the Doors pulls selections from the band's bestselling catalog and re-purposes them for the bedtime hour with gently soothing arrangements that should be instantly familiar to parents who grew up with those classic records, yet still peaceful enough to send the little ones drifting blissfully into unconsciousness.
For Rockabye Baby creative director Lisa Roth, Lullaby Renditions of the Doors represents something of a full-circle moment. "Obviously, you can't produce a rock series without the mythic Doors on the roster," says Roth. "When I was a very young kid, I'd hear their music wafting out from behind my brother's bedroom door. I thought my brother was the greatest thing since peanut butter back then, and figured if he loved the Doors, I'd love them too."
In fact, Roth adds, she decided to demonstrate that love by serenading her family by singing the first lines to the chorus of "Hello I Love You" at the dinner table every night — and that ardor hasn't faded. "For the short time the Doors were all together, they were innovative, dangerous, an inspiration to many acts, and their music spoke volumes about the '60s and '70s. I still love them, and I still don't know the rest of the words to that song."
Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of the Doors is available to pre-order now, and you can sample before you buy by streaming every song on the album below.
