What's changing, what's not, and what's new?
We know, we know, it's only just been the new calendar year and already we're talking about the new tax year!
At Pay Check we find it's better to get ahead of the game and be ready for what to expect in the April payroll. Below you will find a comprehensive round up of the changes ahead, summarised in a handy guide.
If you are a current client, check out the Year End Timetable for a detailed view of your responsibilities over the next few months.
The annual personal allowance increases from £11,850 to £12,500. This gives a monthly tax-free amount of £1,041.67.
The earnings over the upper earnings limit changes, up to £50,000.00 at 2%.
You can only make National Insurance deductions on earnings above the Lower Earnings Limit (LEL).
We ask clients to inform Pay Check of any salary changes as for audit purposes we do not automatically change pay rates on the 1St April 2019. If you would like a report detailing employees pay rates and age, please contact your account manager to have this sent through in the March payroll.
The first six weeks of maternity pay remains at 90% of an employee's average weekly earnings. The rate for the next 33 weeks increases to £148.68 a week.
If an employee's average weekly earnings are lower than the statutory amount they will receive the lower amount for 39 weeks.
There is no change to the amount of SMP/SPP that can be reclaimed. This remains at 92% unless you qualify for Small Employers Relief.
Small Employers Relief remains unchanged at 103%. The threshold for Small Employer relief remains unchanged at £45,000 - this means you must have paid less than this amount in NICs in the previous tax year to qualify for Small Employers Relief.
Paternity and Adoption pay increases to £148.68 per week or 90% of average weekly earnings if less.
Shared Parental Pay increases to £148.68 per week or 90% of the employee's average weekly earnings if this is lower. Parents will be able to share up to 50 weeks leave of which 37 weeks are paid at £148.68.
The threshold to qualify for SMP, SPP, SAP and ShPP has increased to £118.
SSP has increased to £94.25 per week. The threshold to qualify for SSP has increased to £118.
The weekly statutory amount is still £508 per week.
The Employment Allowance remains at £3,000 for employers. There are no changes to the eligibility criteria to claim the allowance.
From 2020/21, the Employment Allowance will only be available to employers with a National Insurance bill in the previous tax year of £100,000 or less.
The Apprenticeship Levy allowance remains at £15,000. There are no changes to the eligibility criteria for the calculation of the levy.
There will be further changes coming in to place from April 2020 which will see the cost of making a termination payment increase significantly. This was originally scheduled for April 2019 but HMRC delayed this roll out in an update to their original legislation.
The new measures will be brought in to place in an attempt to align the rules for tax and secondary NICs, by making an employer liable to pay NICs on termination payments they make to their employees. From April 2020 employers will need to pay employers Class 1A NICs on any part of a termination payment that exceeds the £30,000 threshold. It is anticipated that this will be collected in real time as part of weekly/monthly payroll submissions to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and not after the tax year end with other Class 1A returns.
Up until April 2018 the rules stated that where the employer has a right or discretion under the employment contract to terminate the employment by making a PILON rather than allowing the employee to work out his notice period, the PILON is earnings and is not eligible for the £30,000 exemption.
Where there was no PILON clause in the contract (or a discretion was not used), the PILON was compensation for damages for the employer's breach of contract in not allowing the employee to work out their notice and was eligible for the £30,000 exemption.
From April 2018, all PILONs are both taxable and subject to Class 1 NICs. The legislation requires the employer to identify the amount of basic pay that the employee would have received if they had worked their notice period, even if the employee leaves the employment part way through their notice period. The amount is treated as earnings and is not subject to the £30,000 income tax exemption. All other non-contractual payments are included within the scope of the £30,000 termination payments exemption.
The threshold before deductions for Plan 1 student loans increases from £18,330 to £18,935 per year (£1,577.91 per month). The repayment rate remains at 9%.
The threshold for deductions for Plan 2 student loans increases from £25,000 to £25,725.00 (£2,143.75 per month). The repayment rate remains unchanged at 9%.
There is a new Postgraduate Loan Deduction, which is payable at 6% after reaching the threshold of £21,000 pa (£1,750.00 per month).
From 6 April 2019 you'll pay new Welsh Income Tax rates if you live in Wales. Those rates will be set by the Welsh Government.
This means the amount of tax you pay on your wages, pension and most other taxable income may change.
You'll continue to pay the same tax as the rest of the UK on dividends and savings interest. Your Personal Allowance - the amount of income you do not pay tax on - also stays the same as the rest of the UK.
What does this mean in practical terms? For 1920 the Welsh government have not diverted from the UK wide tax rates but in the future they could change up to 10 pence on the pound. If your employee resides in Wales they will receive a "C" prefix tax code.
The Employment Rights Act 1996 (Itemised Pay Statement) (Amendment) Order 2018 and Employment Rights Act 1996 (Itemised Pay Statement) (Amendment) (No 2) Order 2018 come into effect from 6 April 2019.
These regulations extend the right to receive a payslip to all 'workers' (i.e. not solely employees) and, where employees or workers are paid for variable hours, require the number of hours worked to be recorded on the payslip.
The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy has published guidance on the new requirements.
In summary, hours worked can be recorded on the payslip as an aggregate number for the period, or by each category of work for which the variable pay applies.
Hours of absence do not need to be recorded.
Clients should amend their payroll submissions to include the number of hours of overtime if previously only an amount has been provided, so that Pay Check can make sure your payslips provide sufficient detail to meet the requirements and consider any changes that might need to be made in readiness for the new regime.
If an employer fails to comply with the new rules, the worker can make a complaint to an Employment Tribunal with the consequence that, if agreed, the outcome can be published on the Tribunal's website.
If you have staff members who work variable basic paid hours, you must inform Pay Check of these hours so we can report them on the employee's payslip. This is due to the Employment Rights Act 1996 (Itemised Pay Statement) (Amendment) (No.2) Order 2018. This order amends section 8 of the 1996 Act to add to the particulars required within an itemised pay statement to also contain information regarding the number of hours worked by the employee for which they are being paid, but only in situations where the employee's pay varies as a consequence of the time worked.


As many readers of Mech already know, some of the most common ground mishaps plaguing the FA-18 community are crunches involving doors 64L and 64R. For non-Hornet maintainers, those are the two engine bay doors that clamshell open on the keel of the aircraft. The reason they keep getting crunched is because when they are open they are directly in the path of the trailing edge flaps (TEF). The vast majority of these crunches occur during non-pilot maintenance turns.
As with most mishaps, there is no one specific reason that these doors get crunched. Two previous editions of Mech featured articles about these specific crunches, each of which had different causes. The article "Best Practice: The Turn," featured in the Winter 2013-14 Mech was caused by intentionally moving the flaps with door 64L open, while the article "How Did We Get Here," published in Summer 2013 had a crunch involving an unintentional flap movement with the door open. A web enabled safety system (WESS) review of SIRs and HAZREPs involving these doors show a mixture of crunches caused by intentionally moving the flaps with the doors open and instances where the flaps moved unintentionally with the doors open. Our most recent crunch was one of the latter.
While the author was not personally involved in this turn, he was one of the investigators tasked with figuring out what happened after the fact. In many of these situations, the cause is relatively cut-and-dry. This case was certainly not going to any quick answer.
The mishap started out as an out-of-phase low power turn along with engine installation leak checks. The turn operator was a previously qualified turn operator working on his recertification under the instruction of a department head squadron pilot. The event was properly briefed and the pre-turn walk around was standard with all the aircraft doors closed during the first engine start.
There were a couple of issues with the right engine start and once the engine finally did start the right generator failed to come online. The turn operator and turn instructor then decided to start the left engine, knowing that the left generator could power the entire electrical system of the aircraft. Once the electrical system came online, the turn operator and turn instructor noted that the aircraft had both R GEN and R DC FAIL cautions, indicating that both the AC and DC systems were inoperative on the right engine. Approximately 45 minutes into the turn, the left engine was secured to conduct leak checks. The intent was to execute a crossbleed start of the left engine once leak checks were completed. At this point the TEFs were full down and doors 64L and 64R were both being held opened by maintainers. Approximately two minutes later, the flaps began to close with the flap switch still in full. While one maintainer was quick to close his door before the flaps closed, the other was not as quick and door 64R was impacted by the right TEF, bending the door and causing damage.
Figuring out why the flaps moved unintentionally was a thorough lesson in FA-18F electrical and hydraulic system redundancy. When the turn operator secured the left engine, with the only operable generator, he induced a dual generator failure. Normally, the flight control computers (FCC) and the essential bus would be powered indefinitely by the permanent magnet generators (PMG) on the operating engine. In this case, the right generator and PMG were both failed (R GEN and R DC FAIL cautions), which left the battery as the only electrical source powering the essential bus.
In order to save battery power, the battery switch is mechanized to shut off two minutes after AC power is secured on deck. Once the battery was secured, the FCCs were no longer powered, which left the aircraft with hydraulic power to the flight control surfaces but no inputs from the FCCs. In this configuration, the TEFs will drive up from 30 degrees down to five degrees down. In this case, they did so with doors 64L and 64R in the way.
This is a rather complicated scenario. Based on the turn operator PQS, it is impractical to expect a turn operator to have this extensive depth of system knowledge. It is also impractical to expect the turn instructor to have that level of systems knowledge, despite being a senior squadron pilot, since aircrew in the Super Hornet don't spend much time studying scenarios involving unpowered FCCs, a situation that would lead to a loss of control and ultimately to an ejection airborne. Now, even though this is a complicated scenario which is not likely to be repeated often, there are good lessons that can be learned.
In our squadron, as in most other squadrons, we preach "by the book" maintenance. In this case "the book" refers to the interactive electronic technical manual (IETMS), which lists several cautions related to opening doors 64L and 64R while the engines are turning. If the flaps are up, then IETMS directs securing hydraulic power with the hydraulic system 1A and 2B manual shutoff valves in door 51L and 51R and installing TEF support brackets to keep the TEFs from sagging once hydraulic power is removed. If the TEFs are down, like in this example, then IETMS cautions "To prevent damage to trailing edge flap or door 64L/R if door is open, hydraulic system 1A and 2B manual shutoff valve in door 51L and 51R must be positioned to OFF to prevent actuation of trailing edge flaps." This seems rather straightforward; however, closer investigation revealed that these shutoff valves are almost never used. Part of the reason is because these types of "all shops" turns usually involve FCS IBITs, which can't be conducted with the flaps disconnected. Additionally there seems to be a general distrust of these valves by maintenance personnel. My squadron was only able to gather anecdotal evidence, but most maintenance personnel interviewed stated that these valves are never used because they don't work.
This author was unable to find any SIRs or HAZREPs where the shutoff valves were used and failed, but the sheer number of crunches would support that these valves are not used as often as they are called for in IETMS. If the shutoff valves had been used in this scenario, they would have isolated the TEFs from the hydraulic system and prevented their retraction into door 64R. Had the valves been used and failed then NAVAIR could conduct an engineering investigation (EI) into why the valves failed and develop a fix. Many squadrons have also developed other techniques to prevent crunches, such as having maintainers hold the doors instead of propping them open, but our mishap proved that technique doesn't always prevent a mishap.
In the big picture, there are many situations both known and unknown that cause the flaps to move in the FA-18. Every time door 64L or 64R are open with the hydraulic system powered there is a risk of the flaps moving and causing a mishap. If safety measures are being ignored fleetwide then that is a systemic problem that needs to be fixed. If the hydraulic isolation valves work, then a "by-the-book" maintenance department should be using them whenever IETMS calls for them.
If they don't work, then the community needs to document cases of failure so a proper solution can be developed. VFA-213 has reviewed our maintenance procedures and implemented controls to ensure that the hydraulic shut-off valves and TEF locks are used whenever called for by IETMS. Since safety measures are already in place to prevent this problem, the best thing to do is double check our steps to eliminate damage to our assets.

Jackie Terefenko is a fighter. The events of October 29, 2012 didn't change that.
Jackie's husband Michael purchased their bayside Beach Haven West bungalow in 1964, and in it, they raised their children. Decades later, as Superstorm Sandy approached the Jersey Shore, they evacuated to higher ground.
Returning two days later, the home they cherished was filled with 48 inches of muck, sand, and saltwater. Saving what they could of their personal affects – dishes, decorations, and family heirlooms – Jackie relied on the support of her friends in those first days (and, truthfully, for the rest of the days until she and her husband rebuilt). The Terefenkos were devastated – but not defeated. It was time to get to work.
Their first floor uninhabitable, a local nonprofit assisting Sandy survivors, START, was able to replace gutted walls with sheetrock and install subfloors that allowed the Terefenkos to return home while they awaited resources to rebuild. Jackie and Michael hunkered up on the second story of their home, occupying the upstairs bedroom and bathroom. This is where Jackie became known for her dinners, cooked on the countertop of her bathroom with a toaster oven – just one of many feats of resourcefulness that Sandy survivors know so well.
As soon as the State announced the opening of the RREM Program, offering up to $150,000 in grants for the reconstruction, rehabilitation, elevation, and mitigation of homes damaged by Superstorm Sandy, the Terefenkos applied. Through the journey of rebuilding, Jackie met her Housing Advisor, Judi Barrett, at the Ocean County Housing Recovery Center in Lakewood. Judi would be a source of sound guidance for the Terefenkos, as well as a friend, as they moved forward in the program.
After signing their RREM grant agreement, the Terefenkos hired SMP Remodeling to repair structural damage that left their front wall caving in and a gutted first floor. They would also elevate the house 14 feet to ensure they would never have to suffer a repeat of what occurred that October 2012 day.
In a testament to the comradery of New Jerseyans, especially after Sandy, the Thanksgiving of 2013 was particularly memorable. A complete stranger, Jennifer Oddo, cooked an entire Thanksgiving meal and brought her own table, chairs, and dishes, allowing Jackie and Michael to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner in the midst of their reconstruction. They feel forever indebted to the neighbors that rushed to help them in a time of need.
During August 2015, construction was completed on the Terefenko's home. The RREM Program was able to provide the funding to rehabilitate and elevate their home of 51 years. Jackie and Michael now utilize a platform lift, generously funded by the Salvation Army, Ocean County Long Term Recovery, and Catholic Charities to ascend 14 feet into their newly renovated home, adorned with many of the decorations and trinkets that Jackie and her friends were able to salvage.
"We wouldn't be here without the RREM program. We wouldn't be back home," said Jackie.

Why 'Rage Rooms' won't solve your anger issues, according to Northeastern University psychologist Christie Rizzo
Rage rooms have become a global phenomenon. But they won't solve your anger management issues, according to Northeastern University psychologist Christie Rizzo.
Rage rooms—where stressed out people go to relieve tension by smashing furniture, housewares, and electronics with baseball bats, crowbars, and sledgehammers—have become a global phenomenon. But taking out your frustration on chairs, dishes, flat-screen TVs—or fax machines, like a character from the 1999 cult classic Office Space—is not an effective form of anger management, according to Christie Rizzo, associate professor in the Department of Applied Psychology.
First and foremost, do you think "destruction therapy" has any mental health benefits?
I think rage rooms could be helpful for healthy people looking to release stress or blow off some steam, but I would not go so far as to say that breaking things in a controlled environment is a form of therapy. Rage rooms are for people who want to let loose while doing something fun and different, not for those who are dealing with mental health problems associated with anger and violence. The last thing people with anger issues need is another outlet to express their frustration.
Some psychologists say that expressing anger will only lead to more anger. In your opinion, could blowing off steam in a rage room motivate future aggression in a less controlled setting like the home or office?
I don't think that smashing objects in a rage room would necessarily trigger a spillover effect, causing people to wreak havoc at home. But I would avoid experiences in the rage room that could be a trigger for angry outbursts, such as destroying personal items belonging to a partner or ex-partner. The draw of rage rooms should be less about vengeance and more about letting off some steam in a novel and safe environment.
What's the healthiest way to deal with anger?
The technique with the most evidence is called cognitive behavioral therapy, a three-pronged form of talk therapy focusing on thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. First, you identify your triggers—the people, places, and things that are linked to your angry outbursts. Then you work to frame those things in a different, more helpful way. Finally, you focus on developing coping mechanisms to prevent your anger from escalating from 0 to 100. For example, suppose someone with anger issues goes snooping through their girlfriend's phone, finds a string of late-night text messages from another man, assumes she is cheating on him, and then gets really upset. In the scenario, we would talk about not snooping—avoiding the trigger altogether—or coming up with other ways of explaining the situation. It could be that the man's girlfriend is cheating on him, but the texts could also be from a colleague or a longtime friend who wants to catch up. Finally, we would encourage behavior that limits engagement with the trigger, advising him to put the phone down, and, say, go for a run.
Some parents allow their children to channel their anger at home, using foam bats or other lightweight objects. As a researcher who focuses on the development and implementation of evidence-based violence and risk behavior prevention programming for youth, what do you make of these so-called therapy tools?
It really depends on the individual. Let's say a teenager recognizes she is getting upset at the dinner table, goes to her room to beat up a pillow, and then returns feeling more calm. To me, that's a great outcome. However, that same strategy might amp up another teenager, causing their anger to escalate to the point where they're punching walls. We worry about kids when the outlet they choose to channel their anger revs them up and leads to more aggression. It's less concerning when the activity of their choosing—even if it's a violent sport like boxing or football— doesn't spill over into daily life.

Interview: The Whip
Posted on 06/18/2009 by Dagmar
I talked with Danny Saville and Nathan Sudders of Manchester's the Whip after their stunner of a show recently in Seattle. Saville, keys, and Sudders, bass make up half of the Whip, which is way up there on my list of favorite bands. Together they make this perfect kind of beautiful bass heavy synth music with the addition of a vocals/guitar from Bruce Carter and drums from Fiona Daniel. You can't reproduce this woman's mighty drumming on a machine – live she's dynamite. The connection of this band live is something very rare – they seem actually to enjoy themselves in a completely unselfconscious way. And Carter, well, his voice is a filthy pleasure.
Dagmar: I've been reading about how great Fiona's house parties are.
Nathan Sudders: She's renowned for her house parties. I've spent a couple of days in her flat, partying. She's a bit of a monster. It's all true.
D: So she's just a drumming monster?
NS: She's a drumming party animal.
Danny Saville: I don't know where she gets all her energy sometimes.
D: So you used to live in Salford?
NS: No, that's where Bruce and Danny started recording.
DS: In the cellar of a pub. We started most of the album there.
D: Was the cellar a creepy place?
DS: It was supposed to be haunted. A lot of the barmaids wouldn't go down to the cellar. It was an interesting place to be because there was loads of random karaoke going on upstairs. On one of the tracks, can't remember which one, you can hear bits of karaoke in the background.
D: I asked in part because Salford is the inspiration for one of my favorite shows, Coronation Street.
NS: You can go to Grenada studios and walk down Coronation Street.
D: That would be so much fun.
NS: It's good. You can go into Rovers Return and have a pint. It's British National Heritage.
D: When Vera Duckworth died it was very sad.
NS: End of an era.
DS: She [Actress Elizabeth Dawn] owns a pub in real life. Right in the middle of Manchester, so you can go to Vera Duckworth's bar. There are photos of her celebrity friends all over the wall. I've been there for a drink.
D: Do all of you get together and write the music?
NS: The nucleus is Bruce and Danny. It comes together live and odd little things change.
DS: We record wherever we can.
D: How did you get started in music? Did you start as kids?
NS: I started playing bass when I was twelve years old.
DS: I started playing guitar when I was twelve years old.
NS: My dad's brother was a musician and when I was two or three years old I used to go up to this one guitar – I was fascinated by this one guitar my uncle had. He actually gave it to me. It was a cheap bass guitar and I carried it around with me when I was two years old or something. I had no idea what it was. Then when I got to about ten my friends were forming bands so then I started lessons and that was it. Fiona was doing a band with her sister, who was singer/guitarist and songwriter so she started playing [drums] when she was about eleven. I'm pretty sure Bruce got into it about the same time. Danny originally was a guitarist. He used to sing and play guitar and do solos and everything. He's got a good voice, Danny, but he hides it.
D: How did you meet up with Late of the Pier for the tour?
DS: A couple years ago we were both supporting a band in the UK called Hadouken!. Since then we've bumped into them on many occasions. This opportunity arose in the US and we have the same booking agent.
NS: When you tour with bands sometimes, it's not that you don't get along with them . . . us lot, we got along from day one. We're always two bands mingling. They're good lads and I think it's a good pairing.
D: Nathan, you are a classically trained musician?
NS: Yeah I went to music college and did A-levels.
D: You did theory?
NS: I did theory on Handel's Messiah and stuff like that. It's weird though because as I was doing that . . . I started college when I was sixteen but I actually moved to Manchester as well. I was doing original music in Manchester and then coming home and doing my college thing. People at the college were really supportive.
D: Who came up with the name the Whip?
DS: It was a combination of the band and our friends. We spent ages trying to think of names. Whip was always in the name but we tried to find a word to join with it. Our mates just kept on saying, it's the Whip. In the end it was just like, let's leave it at the Whip, it works.
D: You're going to start recording your next CD soon?
NS: As soon as we get back.
DS: The main body of it's all written. There's a couple tweaks here and there, a bit of messing around with a couple more songs to add to it. We've got to get the drums down probably in a good room – things like that.
NS: Me and Fiona have only played two of the new ones. We've been doing two new ones live and the plan was to do some of the new ones on the tour but –
DS: We just haven't had time.
NS: It's been such a rush. I think if we do a couple days of hard rehearsing just so we can get it nailed as the four of us together . . . I think we all felt that with X Marks Destination that our live show is a bit more intense. We didn't capture that as much.
D: It is very intense.
NS: [But] We're very proud of X Marks Destination.
D: Who came up with that awesome bass line in Trash?
NS: Bruce. Bruce's baby, that.
NS: I like to take the glory for it, live. Bruce is a very talented guy.
DS: Bruce loves the bass and everything about it. A lot of the songs we all write stem from the bass guitar or synth bass.
NS: There's a lot of dirt in them.
DS: It's what drives the song – the sound and the smell of the bass. I think bass has a smell. It's like a haze.
D: Originally Danny and Bruce started the band – when did Nathan and Fiona join?
DS: About six months on. Me and Bruce had been writing for ages.
NS: But they'd not done anything. They asked me to join and then there was going to be a drum machine at first but I was like, you've gotta get Fiona in. She's amazing, she's perfect for this kind of music. As soon as we did that first rehearsal with Fee, that was it. I think we only rehearsed twice and then we were out gigging, straight away. We were all in the band when the name the Whip started.
D: What's this thing in Manchester called Warehouse Project?
NS: It's awesome. It's like a really old school rave. It's down underneath a train station in a car park. It holds 3 or 4 thousand people and it's renowned for having a good lineup. . . Simian Mobile Disco. Chemical Brothers. Doesn't finish till six in the morning.
DS: The Presets.
D: I want to move there.
NS: You should. You'd love Manchester. Similar weather.
You can see photos I took of their show here & here.

SAN ANTONIO — When Moe Wagner gets frustrated during Michigan's practices, he'll sometimes turn away from his teammates and let loose with a loud, multisyllabic string of what his teammates can only assume are profanities.
More than his size or his vocabulary choices, Wagner's passion for basketball is his defining feature to teammates and coaches at Michigan. That passion first got him fascinated with college basketball while growing up in a country where the NCAA system is largely unknown, and that passion spurred him to leave Berlin for Ann Arbor to experience it for himself.
Wagner nearly turned pro last summer, but he has turned his extra March at Michigan into a showcase during a series of impressive performances. With strength, skill and enough grace to tiptoe through the television broadcast crew while chasing a loose ball off the elevated Final Four court, Wagner is likely to play a major role in the Wolverines' attempt to upset mighty Villanova on Monday night.
The rest of the Wolverines realize they're in their first NCAA Tournament championship game since 2013 largely because their 6-foot-11 centre wouldn't allow them to lose to Loyola-Chicago.
Wagner's teammates went 4 for 23 in the first half at the Alamodome, and Michigan fell behind the plucky 11th-seeded Ramblers by 10 points before Wagner took charge. The centre piled up 24 points and 15 rebounds — including six offensive boards, more than the rest of his team combined — while the Wolverines roared back for a 69-57 win.
Wagner joined Hakeem Olajuwon and Larry Bird as the only players to get 20 points and 15 rebounds in an NCAA Tournament semifinal. He even got the ultimate honour for a German baller: a tweet from Dirk Nowitzki — although Wagner had to be told about it, because he's trying to stay focused on basketball by deleting Twitter from his phone.
Wagner has all proper respect for Nowitzki, yet his favourite player growing up was Kevin Garnett, and his teammates see his emulation of Garnett's physical, fiery style — hence the swear words.
When a German coaching friend put Wagner on Michigan coach John Beilein's radar five years ago, Beilein could tell Wagner wasn't a normal teenager from their first phone conversation. The German kid was upbeat, personable and completely comfortable speaking with adults an ocean away — but Beilein could only scout him on film.
So Beilein made a one-day trip to Germany. The coach met Wagner and his parents at the Berlin apartment, having a fruitful conversation over the big German meal and beer he had requested.
Wagner was just as eager to learn about Beilein after seeing him on television six months earlier in the 2013 NCAA Tournament finale.
Many young Germans follow the NBA with the same fervour as their American counterparts, but even the concept of college basketball is unfamiliar. Wagner was already a college basketball fan five years ago, constantly staying up late to watch big games even while preparing for his own.
Wagner was on a bus to Hamburg for a game when Michigan lost to Louisville in the Final Four that year. He downloaded the game a day later to watch with a friend who now plays for Alba Berlin, Wagner's former club in the Basketball Bundesliga.
"It's funny, because (the friend) watches my games now," Wagner said with a grin and a voice with barely a trace of a German accent.
Wagner is now in the main event for this distinctly American version of his sport. Back home in the Prenzlauer Berg neighbourhood of Berlin, several bars are staying open until the wee hours to allow fans to get a look at the local guy in maize and blue.

--> Male structure who must use his EXTERNAL arm/hand to reach for an .Fe --> ferrous oxide iron object/tool in the EXTERNAL world of objects: iron automobile engines, iron hammer,etc.
Thus we have the clearly identifed atomic English langauge of the 26 proton English atomic alphabet of Ferrous oxide /IRON. The IRON LADY is not recognized by British science as existing in an atomic bio-physics humanoid format; instead, university and government EM=Employed professors and scientists view her as an EM = Electro.Magnetic EM.ployee Life ......like a television wave ....brain bio-television or brain bio-movies.
Other thinkers perceive her as radio wave; the music group RADIO HEAD amd other groups raise the questions of bio-radio....but then many authors have written many CLUES about this SECRET biological communications system that has been banned by the Central Nervous System government and the laws of Nature.
...so,what else new in the world of well-publized secrets. Pay Attention?
The laws of Nature makes a difference between these 2 different formats of humanoid iron LIFE...both in physical appearance and in symbolic mental activity. Nature is not fooled by some newspaper article that claims all things are ATOMIC equals in the Margaret Mead nuclear anthropology world. The modern VIEW of society --> atomic social sciences and atomic politics.
Thus we have a new basis for divorce...the atomic basis of the Margaret Mead nuclear social anthropology problems. Thus an accurate view of marriage as an atomic social relationship.
The male HEME group FE(ii) ion (with fe = ferrous oxide atomic fe=feelings) ....... sees some adult fe = ferrous oxide atomic fe = female structure.
Then the North Pole magnetic field flow lines that flow thru our bodies..... provide a magnetic field communications data pipeline ...that passes these Heme group fe(ii) feelings and ironic thoughts between these 2 Heme Group species...a magnetic LINK ...a magnetic attraction that may become 2 LOVERS.
Thus the bio-physics components of a LOVER involves the atomic thoughts of the 26 proton English alphabet of IRON in the Heme Group....between the 2 different IRON bio-physics bodies.
Such IRON species live within the North Pole magnetic field environment of COMPUTER EARTH system 370 and its Batch COBOL language statement...physically expressed as the Cobol ENVIROMENT with a link to CLI = Climate ....at the BAL = Baltic Sea in Europe...which clearly states EARTH and Europe is a BAL = Basic Assembler Language geological information structure with the CLI = Compare Logical Immediate instruction for President CLI --> Clinton.
But Washington, DC computer intellectuals do not care aout such details of existence of Earth and the Earth government...since the only BAL they care about is the sport of BASE.BAL(L)...... hence, the SCIENCE WARS (equivalent to World War 3).
LIVER = Langauge interface VER= Vector .
...or the magnetic field flow line vectors that pass thru thru body and interact with iron ...thus a hybrid message system components.
both with a social engineering VER = Vector component.
The other messages are from the Beattle's LIVER music messages of Liverpool, England...with the Hemglobin request for "HELP' thru the atomic mass ...mass communications media of the radio and television.
British government funds for science research have conveniently ignored this HELP message from NATURE via the molecular cell biology LIVER messengers from Liverpool. Thus the NEXT chapter for the textbook: Molecular and Cell Biology of the Liver edited by Albert V. LeBouton ..is outlined in this BLOG. Are any research funds available to complete this new dimension of LIVER expressions?
The LIVER routes its messages to the human arm/wrist/hand and writes English word books for the EYE/optical nerve (year 1726) or the messages are for the mouth/vocal chords and EAR ...via Beattle songs from 1964 thru 1974.
What company, what government will help understand the "HELP" the Liver song request ....of the city of LIVER data record pool....as symbolized by the physical geography city of LIVERPOOL with a LIVER population of about 435,000 walking and talking LIVER structures with Base 2 binary legs with the human TOE.
The human TOE component of TOE theory physics: Time Order Entry at which your human toes/shoes touch the EARTH gound/soil....which is like a computer terminal keyboard.
--> the COMPUTER EARTH system 370 .....the soil surface/ the Landau geo-physics surface is considered like a keyboard.....and as you walk ...your legs/feet/toes apply pressure to the earth keyboard ....thus your legs/feet are the parallel function to your arms/fingers at your office copper wire computer. Thus ..as you walk your leg/toes/shoes are typing...giving data entry input to COMPUTER EARTH....and there is a lot of garbage input data.
Thus TOE theory is also called the Theory of Everything ..including atomic humanoid structures with symbolic thoughts....including serious thoughts on how the EARTH LAB social engineering structure of Nature works.
......and the Isaac Newton NEW Test...NEW Testament regarding the interaction of gravity with the atomic mass of the intestine digestive system.
Thus the phrase "FOOD for thoughts"......thus the FOOD created digestive system language expressions titled the BIBLE and printed in external fomat by the GUT = Grand Unified Theory of Nature's physics department in year 1453 with GUT agent for external Tensor space/time messages: Gut.Ten.burg.
Thus we see that the GUT/guts/courage theory of Nature's physics department is over 500 years in the making....with it's emergence to the conscious level of expression in the last logarithmic ratio of 50 years......and of course we have the logarithmic CALTECH astrophysics life form.. from the algebra LOG universe ....the astrophysics Earth Lab mathematical-physics surface geography location of Logan, Utah.
Pasadena is like the 1960 television show "I've got a Secret". But everyone is playing the secret game.
Thus we have 2 types of atomic human adult species. At birth ...we all begin with an internal government and go to school to learn basic internal government symbolic languages: the usage of English words to ask for food, to ask for a house mortgage for shelter,etc. Most people only understand part of the external world; only that part necessary to get a technical job to get money to feed their internal government.
EXTERNAL goverments of EARTH and NATURE...and the EARTH LAB role of human subset governments and institutions.
Thus we have background clues ...and now describe the British liver language system VIA humanoid inerface agents. See the BLOGs about the IRON LADY and the 26 proton English alphabet of the ferrous oxide iron atom--> Hence, atomic English langauge. Do you have the current version of English symbolic map inside your brain. NO? Pay attention please.
An EARTH LAB test site for Ox = Oxygen atomic BASE 16 data processing in atomic bio-physics humans was established by NATURE at Oxford University in year 872. Thus the periodic atomic table element of oxygen .. in that TIME period ... decided to open a university for oxygen LUNG bio-computer devices ..... so they could acquire oxygen self-awareness.
Thus we have the atomic bio-physics SIGNAL ---> Carbon 12 and the 12th century ....... year 872 --> oxygen atomic number 8 and nitrogen atomic number 7 .... and number 2 implies 2 atoms make 1 LUNG molecule. Thus the early signals from year 872 and the 12th century ...... and the year 2013 ... State of Denial of those existential messages by Oxford.
In year 1982 the oxygen atomic BASE 16 Hex'Fa'= 250 = Fa = Faculty INTELLECTUAL wars were physically fought in the Base 16 Hex'Fa' = Falkland Islands with Argentina ....... symbolic of Arg = Argument parameter ERRORS of an Argonne National Labs humanoid nuclear anthropology experiment in North America.
The symbolism and parallel processing EVENTS clearly identify the secret INTELLECTUAL problems of the oxygen breathing OXFORD hexadecimal professors.
Failure to recognize the existence of the modern Margaret Mead atomic nuclear family.....atomic brain government is a modern atomic social anthropology problem for the British military ...who are mislead by biased, elaborate professorial explanations of Sartre existential conflict.
The COMPUTER EARTH system 370 LAND war is being fought by American and British soldiers........who are given incorrect explanations of the TRUE NATURE of the war. LAND = Local Area Network Data .... thus the mountain of data from geography data region in Asia.
Universities are responsible for the incomplete explanations about the Afghanistan SCIENCE WARS. Perhaps, individual world-class citizens can join with me ...to spread these more accurate descriptions of the conflict.
The errors at OXFORD UNIVERSITY are in myoglobin protein intellectual awareness.
The myoglobin protein has the oxygen BASE 16 hexadecimal atomic biochemistry computer and the iron HEME group English language of 26 ferrous oxide protons and their 26 atomic English alphabet letters. Myoglobin protein is a source of INTELLECTUAL MUSCLE.
A math gap exists between oxygen BASE 16 and iron 26 proton English alphabet symbols used by the arm,wrist, hand of newspaper writers and authors. The decimal gap of 10(TEN) fingers ought be bridged...to have a good communication bridge within the symbolic body that co-exists with the physical human body.
Structural Biochemistry/Zinc fingers. From Wikibooks, open books for an open world. < Structural Biochemistry.
This is the TENZIN gap...a missing link with Nature's ZINJAN skull update project...the 500 year symbolic brain evolution project of Nature that began around year 1453 with the Gutenburg printing press and the dramatic increase in the availability of books.
The books allowed the eye/optical nerve to rapdily evolve to the symbolic levels....with symbolic cities built inside the brain. This symbolic effort of NATURE was then demonstrated in year 1600 by the works of William Shakespeare.....a messenger for Nature's intellectual optical nerve development projects.
TENZIN Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet and his organization, have not acknowledged their role in these serious matters; thus the back-up system agent TENZIN for Nature has been activated...identifier = BIG TEN Universities ( University of Wisconsin region ...anthropology agent ZINJAN).
OXFORD is the Maragret Mead atomic nuclear family test location for Ox=Oxygen brain Base 16 hexadecimal processor awareness. It is very important for the OX=OXYGEN OXFORD Dictionary to recognize the existence of the periodic atomic table government and its elements of thought. Atoms are the original source of thought and ought receive diplomatic recognition with proper respect.
The TEN fingers of biochemistry structure TenZin Gyatso ..... when visting the BIG TEN University of Wisconsin in Madison ... ought consider locating Nature's communications TENZIN Zinc Fingers agent wearing an Oxford cotton shirt near Wisconsin's Oxygen hexadecimal Highway 16.

1. A method for handling a Timer_Poll_Prohibit timer in a wireless communications system, the method comprising: starting the Timer_Poll_Prohibit timer for a Radio Link Control Acknowledged Mode (RLC AM) entity; performing a re-establishment procedure for the RLC AM entity; and stopping the Timer_Poll_Prohibit timer after the re-establishment of the RLC AM entity.
This is a continuation application of application Ser. No. 10/064,747, filed Aug. 13, 2002, which is included in its entirety herein by reference.
The present invention relates to a method for handling a poll prohibit timer in a wireless communications system, and more specifically, to a method for handling a Timer_Poll_Prohibit timer after re-establishment in a wireless communications system.
Technological advances have moved hand in hand with more demanding consumer expectations. Devices that but ten years ago were considered cutting edge are today obsolete. These consumer demands in the marketplace spur companies towards innovation. The technological advances that result only serve to further raise consumer expectations. Presently, portable wireless devices, such as cellular telephones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), notebook computers, etc., are a high-growth market. However, the communications protocols used by these wireless devices are quite old. Consumers are demanding faster wireless access with greater throughput and flexibility. This has placed pressure upon industry to develop increasingly sophisticated communications standards. The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) is an example of such a new communications protocol.
Please refer to FIG. 1. FIG. 1 is a simplified block diagram of the prior art communications model. In a typical wireless environment, a first station 10 is in wireless communications with one or more second stations 20. The first station 10 is comprised of upper layers 12, a radio link control (RLC) entity 14, and lower layers 16 which are below the RLC 14. In the following disclosure, all of the RLC entities are assumed to be RLC acknowledged mode (RLC AM) entities. The upper layers 12 can deliver messages to the RLC 14 through service data units (SDUs) 13. The SDUs 13 may be of any size, and hold data that the upper layers 12 wish delivered to the second station 20. The RLC 14 composes the SDUs 13 into one or more protocol data units (PDUs) 15. Each PDU 15 of the RLC 14 is of a fixed size, and is delivered to the lower layers 16. The lower layers 16 include the physical layer, which is in charge of transmitting data to the second station 20.
The second station 20 shown has exactly the same basic structure as the first station 10. The second station 20 also includes upper layers 22, an RLC 24, and lower layers 26. Just as with the first station 10, the second station 20 uses the upper layers 22 to transmit SDUs 23 to the RLC 24, and uses the RLC 24 to transmit PDUs 25 to the lower layers 26. The data transmitted by the first station 10 is received by lower layers 26 of the second station 20 and reconstructed into one or more PDUs 25, which are passed up to the RLC 24. The RLC 24 receives the PDUs 25 and from them assembles one or more SDUs 23, which are then passed up to the upper layers 22. The upper layers 22, in turn, convert the SDUs 23 back into messages, which should be identical to the original messages that were generated by the first station 10. In communication systems, the terms SDU and PDU have broad meanings. For purposes of the following disclosure, the term "SDU" is used to indicate SDUs passed from the upper layers to the RLC, and the term "PDU" should be understood as PDUs passed from the RLC to lower layers. In addition, for simplicity the following disclosure will be written from the perspective of the first station 10, unless otherwise noted.
During an RLC re-establishment function for acknowledged mode and unacknowledged mode, upper layers may request re-establishment of an RLC entity. However, the 3GPP TS 25.322 V3.11.0 specification does not specify how timers should be handled during re-establishment. Due to this lack of guidelines, potential problems could develop due to the improper use of the timers.
Therefore, since the current 3GPP specification does not specify how timers should be handled during re-establishment, deadlock can occur and quality of service may be reduced substantially.
It is therefore a primary objective of the claimed invention to provide a method for handling a poll prohibit timer after re-establishment in a wireless communications system in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.
According to the claimed invention, a method for handling a Timer_Poll_Prohibit timer in a wireless communications system includes starting the Timer_Poll_Prohibit timer for a Radio Link Control Acknowledged Mode (RLC AM) entity, performing a re-establishment procedure for the RLC AM entity, and stopping the Timer_Poll_Prohibit timer after re-establishment of the RLC AM entity.
These and other objectives of the present invention will no doubt become obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art after reading the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment that is illustrated in the various figures and drawings.
FIG. 1 is a simplified block diagram of the prior art communications model.
FIG. 2 is a message sequence chart illustrating handling of the Timer_Poll_Prohibit timer during a re-establishment function according to the present invention.
Please refer to FIG. 2. FIG. 2 is a message sequence chart illustrating handling of the Timer_Poll_Prohibit timer during a re-establishment function according to the present invention. After the RLC AM entity 14 is re-established by upper layers, the present invention method includes stopping the Timer_Poll_Prohibit timer because the state of the RLC AM entity after re-establishment should be like the initial state of the RLC AM entity after it was established.
Compared to the prior art, the present invention provides steps for handling the Timer_Poll_Prohibit timer after re-establishment. Therefore, using the method specified in the present invention will prevent RLC AM entities from experiencing deadlock, and will help maintain the quality of service.
Those skilled in the art will readily observe that numerous modifications and alterations of the device and method may be made while retaining the teachings of the invention. Accordingly, the above disclosure should be construed as limited only by the metes and bounds of the appended claims.
