The Government should consider the case for enabling online platforms such as taxi or delivery firms to operate a system equivalent to PAYE for self employed platform workers without affecting their employment status, according to a report on the gig economy from the Office of Tax Simplification.
today publishes its third paper on the platform economy and tax in which it suggests how to simplify and improve the tax experience of the increasing number of individuals who work on a self employed basis through online platforms.
Paul Morton, OTS Tax Director, said: "The development of the gig economy and new ways of working through online platforms has profound consequences for the employment landscape. At the OTS, we are concerned with the tax implications and how the experience, especially of individual tax payers, can be simplified. [This] would remove the administrative burden from these individuals, who can be some of the most vulnerable in the labour market and mean that they should not get an unexpected tax demand at the end of the year. It would also make tax collection more efficient."
The report also calls on HMRC to focus on the development of guidance and to fully engage with technology developers to provide reassurance that digital applications are fit for purpose in submitting accurate tax data and returns as necessary. And it says HMRC should consider the case for establishing an app for the self employed to help them manage their tax affairs.
Chris Blundell, employment tax partner at accountancy firm MHA MacIntyre Hudson, said the PAYE could create two major problems. He said:"The proposals are specific to gig economy workers working for platforms like Deliveroo and Uber, but this won't capture all self-employed workers and runs the risk of creating more discrimination in an already complex arena.
"Hairdressers, for example, are often self-employed via a chair or booth-rental model, and other businesses could be harder to classify. Cycle couriers may have their work allocated via a digital system, but would this count as a platform? What about taxi companies that don't operate like Uber, but do nonetheless engage their drivers on a self-employed basis? The gig economy challenges stem from the definitions of employment status and these proposals would create a new classification, adding self-employed platform workers to the current definitions of self-employed and employed. A third definition is a new complication.
"The other key point is this system wouldn't remove the tax administration burden from self-employed workers as the OTS's proposal says it will. Their affairs would remain complex as, while tax would be deducted up front, they will still need to claim back tax paid on expenses via their tax return. For people new to self-employment, having to deal with preparing and submitting accounts, and making the right payments, can be something of a minefield."

Walmart Joins Ranks of Retailers Pulling Toxic Paint Strippers From Shelves – When Will EPA Follow Suit?
By Sarah Vogel
Monday, Walmart announced that it will stop selling paint strippers containing methylene chloride or N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) in stores by February 2019—making it the first general merchandise retailer to take such action. Walmart's announcement follows the strong leadership demonstrated by Lowes, Home Depot and Sherwin Williams, all of which have committed not to sell methylene chloride- and NMP-based paint stripping products by the end of the year. Importantly, Walmart's action goes beyond its U.S. stores, including those in Mexico, Canada and Central America, as well as their online store.

Pruitt to Restrict Use of Scientific Data in EPA Policymaking
In the coming weeks, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Scott Pruitt is expected to announce a proposal that would limit the type of scientific studies and data the agency can use in crafting public health and environmental regulations.
The planned policy shift, first reported by E&E News, would require the EPA to only use scientific findings whose data and methodologies are made public and can be replicated.

Red Team-Blue Team Is No Way to Conduct Climate Science
By Keith Gaby
Like a television executive peddling reality shows, Scott Pruitt has decided to stage an exercise pitting the well-established science of climate change against a grab bag of fringe theories.
It will be marketed by the Trump administration as an effort in the best traditions of scientific inquiry, but the real goal is to confuse the public and distract from the serious damage Pruitt is doing to our air, water and health.
Support Ecowatch
By Rory Christian and Larissa Koehler
Electric vehicles (EVs) don't make much noise on the road, but they're generating a lot of buzz about the future of this technology and what it means for business and the environment.
Cars, buses and trucks are the second biggest source of pollution in the U.S. after electricity production. They are responsible for more than 26 percent of emissions that adversely affect the health and well-being of the population, and put communities located close to highways and other major thoroughfares at risk. These communities, typically low-income, are often plagued by elevated asthma rates and other pollution-induced health conditions.
By Jeremy Symons
While running for president, Donald Trump threatened to virtually eliminate the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), leaving only "little tidbits."
Scott Pruitt, Trump's EPA administrator, has been tasked with the job of tearing down the agency from within. This is the man who sued the EPA 14 times—with strong financial backing from companies seeking to weaken clean air and clean water standards—when serving as Oklahoma's Attorney General.
Environmental Defense Fund
On Jan. 17 in Detroit, the headquarters of major U.S. automakers, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) held public hearings on a landmark and broadly supported proposal to provide cleaner, more fuel efficient cars for America.
The hearing is the first of three that will allow for public input on proposed fuel efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions standards for model years 2017-2025 passenger vehicles. Hilary Sinnamon will testify in favor of the historic proposal for Environmental Defense Fund (EDF).
"Cleaner, more efficient cars are a triple play for Americans," said Sinnamon. "They'll help reduce our dependence on imported oil, save families money at the gas pump, and reduce dangerous air pollution. This is an opportunity to improve both our economy and our environment in one step; that's why the auto industry, labor unions and environmentalists are all supporting it."
You can read Sinnamon's full testimony here.
The proposed standards call for fleet-wide average performance comparable to 54.5 miles per gallon, or 163 grams per mile of carbon dioxide, by model year 2025.
Together with the model year 2012-2016 clean car standards finalized in 2010, the light duty fuel efficiency and greenhouse gas program is expected to reduce oil consumption by an estimated 12 billion barrels, cut heat-trapping carbon dioxide pollution by over 6 billion metric tons, and provide $1.7 trillion in national fuel savings over the life of the program.
America's fleet of cars and light trucks now consumes more than 360 million gallons of fuel per day and emits about 20 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas pollution. Under the new standards, we will reduce our oil consumption by an estimated 2.2 million barrels a day by 2025—more than our daily 2010 oil imports from the entire Persian Gulf.
The new standards will also put money back in consumers' pockets. Based on the projected fuel savings from the proposal, owners could save more than $4,000 over the life of their new car or truck. Those fuel savings will offset higher vehicle costs in less than four years, and consumers who buy a vehicle with a typical five year loan will see immediate savings of about $12 a month.
The proposal already has broad support from such widespread groups as auto manufacturers, United Auto Workers, small businesses, American consumers, veterans and military groups, economists, and environmental advocates—including EDF.

Two Rare Butterflies of Italy
Two of the National parks in Central Italy
- Parks.it - il portale dei parchi italiani
This link takes you to info about all the National Parks in Italy and can be seen in various languages.
- Parco Nazionale dei Monti Sibillini
Sito ufficiale del Parco Nazionale dei Monti Sibillini (official - site) This can be seen in other languages too.
Alcon Blue Butterfly
Alcon Blue Butterfly (Maculinea Alcon).
This lovely butterfly is again rare and known to be endangered(IUCN 3.1) for much the same reasons as The Apollo, habitat destruction, over collecting, but also with this species because of its dependency on another insect.
They are a fairly large as butterflies go, being around 20mm across the wingspan when fully grown..i.e. once they have emerged and dried out.
The underside of their wings is brown with small black spots with are bordered in white. In the male the upper-side is a beautiful violet-blue, whilst the less gaudy female is a rather limited basal-blue.
Both adults are seen flying in mid to late summer when they feed on nectar from flowers and mate. And then the unusual life cycle starts.
The Alcon Blue is a species of The Lycaenidae Family, this means that once it reaches caterpillar stage it needs the support of a certain type of ant. In this case it is a red ant.(Myrmecophile) .
The eggs are initially laid by the female Alcon on Marsh Genetian because that is almost the only plant they will eat, however sometimes if that is not available the Willow Genetian will be used. Once the caterpillaer is of a good size it drops to the ground and there waits to be discovered by the host ants. The caterpillar emits a surface chemical that fools the ants into thinking they are ant larvae and therefore the ants carry the caterpillars into their nests and place them in the brood chambers. Here the ants feed the alien larvae and also these frauds eat the ant larvae.
Once fully-grown they pupate and here they rest until they emerge as butterflies. But that is not the end of their story because they have to run the gauntlet of angry ants who recognise them as intruders. Most will escape unharmed as the ants can't get a grip on the new butterfly which is covered in a thick coating of loosely attached scales.
Apollo or Mountain Apollo Butterfly
Apollo or Mountain Apollo Butterfly (Parnassus apollo)
This stunning butterfly can now only be found in Italy and then only at altitudes above 1000metres.
The reasons for this are 3 fold. Firstly there has been over-collection of them in both Italy and Spain. Secondly, habitat destruction insomuch that the places that they prefer to live and breed have been replaced with evergreen forestry. And thirdly there is the problem of climate change and acid rain.
Their wings are creamy- white with 2 red eye marks which are edged in black on their fore-wings and red eye-spots on their back wings,which are 5-8cm in length. The spots are supposed to resemble animals eyes and therefore deter their predators which are generally birds. The Apollos head has small eyes and 2 long tentacles which they use for smell and taste. They suck up nectar through a tube like protuberance. They can be seen in their favourite habitat which is high mountain meadows and pastures.
Adult Apollos are seen on the wing in mid-summer when they feed on nectar from the mountain flowers. The Females lay their eggs on thick leaves in the Autumn and these "over-winter" and then hatch in the following spring.
The resulting caterpillars feed on stonecrop and houseleek and will shed their skins a number of times before they are fully grown. Then they drop to the ground to pupate. These hatch after 3 months. They weave a loose cocoon, but being on the ground can cause them problems as it is known that some are unwittingly trampled by animals and passing walkers and hikers.
Nice article. Just a minor correction: the Lycaenidae family is large, and not all members depend on ants.
Claire, my photo of the Myrmica ant feeding the Alcon blue caterpillar is copyrighted. I don't know how you got a hold of it, but either give me credit, or delete it. Thank you.
These are very gorgeous photos. I absolutely love butterflies.
I'm pleased to hear that they are perpetuating the species. As far as I know, I think that can be done for a number of those species endangered/threatened, as long as the host plant(s) are available.
Ever think about raising the apollo? It might help the species if they are easy to raise.
Voted awesome and up. I enjoyed this story about these very unusual butterflies. Go nature! These are the kinds of stories that I really like,
nice Butterflies

H/T Simon Clark for The Pleasure of Smoking.
It was actually a bit of a surprise to read something which had a title like "The Pleasure of Smoking". After all, in this relentlessly negative era, how often does smoking ever get associated with pleasure? It's not often you read about The Joys of Smoking, or The Delights of Smoking, is it? Which is why I amplified The Pleasure of Smoking into The Exquisite Pleasures Of Smoking as a title for this piece.
Tobacco Control works ceaselessly to defame and smear the gentle habit of smoking, in much the same way that sex used to be relentlessly associated with VD (venereal disease), as if the only thing anyone could possibly ever get from any sexual encounter was a dose of the clap. Or alcohol was associated so strongly with alcoholism that the only possible outcome of drinking a beer was lifelong slavery to the bottle. So it's refreshing to see a different approach being adopted.
Nevertheless, this is a report written from a Tobacco Control perspective:
This research has provided considerable detailed information on the way in which smoking is viewed by a group of confirmed smokers. This is a group whose opinions are rarely articulated. The implications of these findings from a smoking cessation perspective are significant because there is a clear gulf between the way smoking is typically viewed as a negative, somewhat reprehensible behaviour, and how the smokers themselves saw their smoking as a source of pleasure, a choice rather than an addiction. Whilst it may be objected that "Smokers would say that, wouldn't they?", if stop smoking services are going to succeed in engaging with those smokers who continue to smoke in the face of the extensive efforts aimed at encouraging smoking cessation they are going to have to be prepared to engage with smokers on the terms upon which those individuals view their own behaviour. This includes being willing to recognise the pleasurable elements of smoking.
I often wonder at the complete failure of Tobacco Control to "engage with" confirmed and unrepentant smokers like myself. They only seem able to deal with those smokers who have already swallowed most of the antismoking propaganda. They are at a complete loss over what to do with those smokers who haven't.
In fact, I don't think it's possible for any of these people to ever "engage with" someone like me: the defences are simply far too deep, the ramparts too high, the barbed wire too dense, the machine-guns too active.
And furthermore it would seem to defeat their purposes if they were to admit that smoking has any pleasures at all. For once the pleasurable nature of smoking has been conceded, how is one ever going to get any smoker to consider giving up smoking?
Along with the goal of reducing smoking prevalence these tobacco control measures have sought to denormalise smoking. Over time smoking has shifted from being seen as a socially accepted even desirable activity to being viewed as a stigmatised and socially frowned upon activity engaged in by a minority of people who require help to quit.
I think that, among smokers, smoking has never been denormalised at all. When, in summer, smokers gather together in pub gardens, they smoke as openly and normally as they ever have. And they no more talk about smoking than they ever used to do: i.e. not at all. Smoking has only been denormalised among those people who are susceptible to propaganda campaigns, much in the way that climate alarmism is only prevalent among those people who are easily persuaded by climate scientists and other self-styled experts. Some people – perhaps even most people – believe everything they're told, and some people – perhaps only a few people – don't.

The comments quickly prompted backlash in and outside of Israel. "With utmost ignorance and brazen gall, he claimed that European Jews were persecuted and murdered not because they were Jews but because they gave loans with interest," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tweeted. "Again, he has recited the most contemptible anti-Semitic canards."
Abbas has long been accused of denying or undermining the Holocaust. His doctoral dissertation questioned whether the death toll of 6 million Jews might have been inflated, and he argued that Zionists and Nazis worked together to send Jews to present-day Israel. But he has at times seemed to take a different stance: In 2003, Abbas said that the Holocaust was "a terrible, unforgivable crime against the Jewish nation, a crime against humanity that cannot be accepted by humankind"; in 2014, he issued a statement in which he called the Holocaust "the most heinous crime to have occurred against humanity in the modern era."
Still, Jonathan Greenblatt, the CEO of the U.S.-based Anti-Defamation League, said in a statement that Abbas's "latest diatribe reflects once again the depth and persistency of the anti-Semitic attitudes he harbors."
Abbas's remarks come at a time of deep tension between the Palestinians, Israel and the Trump administration: In less than two weeks, the United States will open an embassy in Jerusalem after Trump recognized the city as Israel's capital, a move that has drawn global condemnation. Recent weekly protests by Palestinians in Gaza, which have led to deadly clashes between civilians and Israeli military forces, have increased the ill feeling.
American officials joined in the condemnation of Abbas's remarks. David Friedman, the U.S. ambassador to Israel, said Abbas had "reached a new low." And President Trump's special envoy to the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, Jason Greenblatt, tweeted that Abbas's remarks should be "unconditionally condemned by all."
The European Union foreign service in Brussels also condemned Abbas's speech, calling his opinions on the Holocaust unacceptable. "Such rhetoric will only play into the hands of those who do not want a two-state solution, which President Abbas has repeatedly advocated," the European External Action Service said on Wednesday.
Nickolay Mladenov, the United Nations' special coordinator for the Middle East peace process, accused Abbas of using his speech "to repeat some of the most contemptuous anti-Semitic slurs."
"The Holocaust did not occur in a vacuum, it was the result of thousands of years of persecution," he said in a statement. "Leaders have an obligation to confront anti-Semitism everywhere and always, not perpetuate the conspiracy theories that fuel it."
Ruth Eglash contributed to this report from Jerusalem.

Article by Justin Shin
When asked to give a brief summary of debate, an art that is as old as human reason itself, Mr. Marshall, the advisor and head coach of debate club, states, "Debate is a place where you go up against other people and participate in a clash, or a battle of ideas." In this kind of activity, your team is assigned to either proposition or opposition roles and charged with defending or attacking a certain motion, for which you must develop several grounds and principles, and support with extensive amounts of reasoning. From the beginning till the very end, the two opposing teams are locked in an intense exchange of thought, seeking to fortify their own bastion of arguments while simultaneously attempting to undermine and force the collapse of the opponents.
Now, with the formation of ISM Debate League (IDLe), all high schoolers are given the opportunity to engage in such a wonderful stimulation of critical thinking. Organized by Jason C. (10) and Abhinav B. (12), the Forensics and Debate club will host workshops every Monday and IDLe debate sessions every Wednesday until the second week of November, serving as great, if not necessary, preparation for students hoping to participate in local debate tournaments as well as the competitive IASAS tryouts in November where two teams of three people will be selected.
While some Bearcats may be intimidated by the preparation required for IDLe, co-head Jason C. reassures, "It is less stressful in the sense that most if not all the work you do in debate happens during the session. Usually, there is more than enough time to prepare and consolidate your ideas." He remarked that this contrasts heavily with MUN, where a considerable amount of time and effort must be invested into preparing speeches and background research beforehand.
"Only prior knowledge and critical thinking is required for debate." Jason says. "Practice enables you to fill in the gaps between each bullet point and better articulate your points."
For those interested in joining IDLe, Mr. Marshall has a piece of advice that he would like to share. "Most people are able to identify the main points, but are unable to provide enough content and detailed explanations for the full seven minutes of speech time." He says. He asserts that one must strive to explain more and more. To put it in other words, one must delve into deeper explanations and bloat our arguments to titanic proportions – subsequently using them to snuff out any competing arguments.
With all this said, if the opportunity to immensely hone your critical thinking skills and indulge in the savage pleasure of ruthlessly dissecting your friends' arguments does not already prove to be sufficiently enticing, the debate club offers substantial rewards to the top speakers of IDLe – chiefly in the delectable, American-bastardized culinary manifestation of Italian pizza.
Forensics and Debate… Arguably the Best.

The Egyptian Goddess of War and Healing: Sekhmet
Sekhmet is one of my favorite Egyptian goddesses. Like the Egyptian God Anubis, Sekhmet can be very intimidating.
Her name is the female form of Sekhem, which means power or strength. The literal meaning of her name is "Lady of Power," or "Lady of Strength." I actually named my dog in her honor because the dog is a powerhouse and, as I found out later, just as vicious as the goddess herself.
The Goddess Sekhmet
Sekhmet was the daughter of the sun god Ra. Violent and vengeful, she was portrayed as a lioness, either in full lioness form or anthropomorphically like the photo below.
She was capable of breathing fire and associated with the uraeus (a flame spitting serpent) of the king. The desert winds were said to be her hot breath with which she created the desert.
She was also the goddess of war and was typically depicted as the king's mother, and as such, she accompanied him into battle. She was the destructive power of the sun and the personification of the eye of Ra. Interestingly, even the gods Seth and Apophis yielded to her power.
Sekhmet Egyptian Goddess
Sekhmet was also considered to be a goddess of magic and healing. One of her several nicknames included "one of great magic." Because of her powers in sorcery and her association with healing, she became the patron goddess of physicians and veterinarians. It was said that her priests were even called doctors.
Sekhmet was also credited with the ability to inflict and heal the plague among other illnesses. This gave her the nickname "lady of life."
Sekhmet and Ptah
Sekhmet was worshipped along with her consort, the god Ptah, who was the deity of creation. He was an earth god (which fits perfectly with a fire goddess), and the patron of artists and craftsmen.
Ptah and Sekhmet had a son named Nefertum, who became the god of healing and associated with the lotus flower. The three of them were known as the Memphite Triad; their main temple being in Memphis.
Symolism of Sekhmet
As most of the Egyptian pantheon, Sekhmet has quite a bit of symbolism embedded in her persona. When we think of lions, we think of savagery, and Sekhmet is one savage kitty. The goddess became enraged when humanity refused to uphold Maat (the Egyptian Goddess of truth and moral integrity) and follow the laws of Ra. She became so full of rage she almost wiped out mankind.
In order to stop her, Ra ordered his high priest to fill 7,000 jars with red dyed beer (red wine in some accounts) and spread them all over Egypt. When Sekhmet returns to finish her annihilation after a good night's rest, she drinks the beer thinking it is blood. After drinking that much beer, she slept for three days. There are many different variations of this story, but the ultimate meaning remains the same: Sekhmet is powerful and has some anger issues.
As a lioness, she has the incredible ability to hunt and the power to do it. Lions hunt in packs, unlike other cat species. If you've ever seen a documentary on lions, you know the females do all the hunting, and they have a "queen lioness" who leads the hunt. But every lioness has her task. Taking down a buffalo is a lot easier when it's orchestrated.
Since teamwork is essential to the pride's survival, Sekhmet lends herself to being called on in many pagan rites. She is most commonly called on for the following types of rituals:
- Dispelling negativity
- Healing/Hexing
- Overcoming obstacles
- Endings
- Power
- Protection
- Revenge
- Transitions
Sekhmet is the epitome of what can happen when rage is left unchecked. It becomes explosive and uncontainable revenge.
But Sekhmet also shows the healing side of rage. When channeled properly, rage can be focused into altruism. Sekhmet also saved mankind by swallowing the overflow of the blood-red Nile River, a very altruistic act.
In typical pagan form, duality is inherent within the symbolism of the goddess. Rage is most commonly associated with fire (red with rage). Healing and altruism tend to be emotional in nature associating them with water.
Fire and water are polar opposites, just like rage and altruism. The problem with duality is the balancing act; finding that perfect balance is difficult, but so worthwhile.
Sekhmet Our Puppy
I think what drew me to Sekhmet is one of the names used to refer to her in the Book of the Dead. She was the protector of Maat, and known as "The one who loves Maat and detests evil."
Since Maat is my patron goddess, I feel a special connection to Sekhmet, which is what drove me to name my dog in her honor. Little did I know I had given her the perfect name. She fiercely protects our family and has no fear.
That dog will take on an adult bear, and I've seen her drive one off after it attempted to "break in" through our porch door. Ironically, the only other animal she gets along with (and secretly likes) is our cat, Osiris.

As a thelemic witch I really like this topic. Blessed be and all glory to Isis and Osiris
Try following her thro history n u will c she has many names cows r also linked with her
Thanks for this article. We can all learn so much more about our own faith by paying attention to another with respect. The attributes you have written about remind us of attributes we should strive for in ourselves. I look forward to future hubs.
This is a topic I know very little about so I was interested in the details. Good hub!
Voted up and interesting, DoM...learned a good bit more. Thanks.
How interesting your dog and cat get along. I don't know much about Egyptian mythology. Might there be a story about Sekhmet and Anubis?
Loved the hub, btw.
How incredible to us who measure a lifetime around 80 years. At a time when so much faith was put into the supernatural, so many miracles occured
Life is good, and reading this article made it a bit better. Wow! So many traits in one god. What was the total time period that there is evidence of worshipping her?
Wouldnt mess with her!

The McKinnon Basketball Association successfully raised funds and awareness for the Zaidee's Foundation over the course of Round 8.
Over Round 8 of the Big V season, our club turned towards supporting the Zaidee's Foundation as it works towards creating a high awareness and generate discussion around the topic of organ and tissue donations.
The founder Allan Turner attended both games on Sunday at GESAC, where both our men's team were decked out in a special Zaidee's Foundation uniform for the round. Allan had the opportunity to talk to both teams about the foundation, and thanked them along with the women's teams the night before for supporting the weekend so willingly. We raised $740 for the cause, and certainly created a deeper awareness and discussion around the topic.
For more information about the Zaidee's Foundation, please go to www.zaidee.org.

The Peoria Journal Star writes today about Sens. Durbin's and Obama's recent comments concerning ethics reform on Capitol Hill.
The PJS quotes Durbin saying of the Republican leadership: "their attention span on ethics reform is very short". Obama is quoted as saying: "I hope they [Republicans] are motivated to do something".
Interesting comments from two U.S. Senators birthed from the womb of the infamous Chicago machine -- the original (and still kicking) culture of corruption. Can someone say "glass houses"? How about a little attention in your own backyard Senators? Where's the motivation to do something about that?

Marius Russo
Date and Place of Birth: July 19, 1914 Brooklyn, New York
Died: March 26, 2005 Fort Myers, Florida
Major League
Position: Pitcher
Rank: Corporal
Military Unit: US Army
Area Served: Pacific Theater of Operations
U Russo was born on July 19, 1914 in
In his rookie season with
In 1940, he was 14-8 with the Yankees and was 14-10 in 1941 as well as being an American League all-star selection. In Game 3 of the 1941 World Series, Russo and the Dodgers right-hander Freddie Fitzsimmons were in a scoreless duel through six innings at Ebbets Field. With two outs in the seventh and Joe Gordon on second, Russo, who batted .231 that season, smashed a liner that caromed high off Fitzsimmons's left knee. The ball was caught by shortstop Pee Wee Reese, retiring Russo, but Fitzsimmons incurred a broken knee.
Hugh Casey, replacing Fitzsimmons, gave up four straight singles in the eighth as the Yankees scored twice and went on to a 2-1 victory behind Russo's four-hit complete game.
Suffering from a sore shoulder, Russo made just nine appearances for the Yankees in 1942 for a 4-1 record and 2.78 ERA. He pitched in 24 games in 1943, but was 5-10 – the only Yankee pitcher that year to have a losing record. However, he hurled a seven-hit shutout in the fourth game of the World Series against the Cardinals.
1943 season, Russo worked as an expediter in the Republic Airplane
Works at
reported to
"The guy has lived up to his press notices," declared Corporal Norman K Evans, sports editor of Fort Monmouth's Signal Corps Message on June 23, 1944. "In 24 innings of pitching as a Signalman, Marius Russo has allowed but three singles, two of which were of the tainted variety. Not even the semblance of a run has been garnered off the talented southpaw. But more than just mechanical perfection has made him one of the most popular big leaguers in the service. The games in the Signal Corps Diamond League are as important to Russo as the World Series games last October. He offers his sound baseball knowledge to the young hurlers on the staff. He runs out every grounder when he's at the plate. He is strictly a team player. Off the field, the ex-Yank is modest and shy. Just another slightly homesick recruit."
When he wasn't scheduled to pitch, Russo played the outfield or first base, giving him the opportunity to demonstrate his defensive prowess. "The greatest catch of the year," reported the Signal Corp Message on July 14, 1944, "highlighted Camp Wood's 5-0 shutout of the rampant Station Complement nine.
"Roy Tarr met one of Hank Soven's curves with the meat end of the bat and sent the ball sailing high and far over the center fielder's head. With the crack of the bat, Marius Russo turned and streaked for the tent area. About a mile and a half out, he turned slightly and pulled down the ball with his gloved hand. Few of the lucky spectators have ever seen a more sensational catch."
Russo was no slouch at the plate either. Following his sensational catch, he strode to the plate and sent a mighty drive between the outfielders, crossing home plate standing up.
On June
6, 1944, when all major league games were called off on account of
the D-Day invasion, Russo played first base for the Signal Corps
All-Stars at
left Fort Monmouth for assignment to
At Camp
Crowder, Russo continued to play all out. On September 17, he combined with
Charley Suche and Tommy Bridges to throw a 6-0 no-hitter against the
Sheffield Steels at
Russo was discharged from service on January 15, 1946. He
immediately joined the Yankees and just as quickly was rushed to
hospital for further elbow surgery. He made just eight appearances
for the Yankees that season and was 0-2 with a 4.34 ERA. By 1947,
Russo was back in the minors with
Russo, who was later an executive with
Grumman Aircraft on Long Island, passed away on March 26, 2005 in

shock ink pen
This is one of the neatest pens I've ever seen and I raced motorcross in the mid 80's and when I saw this I had to add this into my store for sure. I do these in different woods and it's best to call and see what's available. Special request of woods is a option too. Refills are $2.00 each and yes I still ride a 97 KX 250 for fun!

Marc Myers reviews 'Bird Unheard':
It's probably fair to say that this set is meant for Parker enthusiasts— those who have spent years listening to the Verve master takes and have the solos by Parker and his sidemen committed to memory. The average listener would likely be left mystified by the material, since listening to Parker attempt songs over and over is akin to repeatedly asking diners to try failed dishes. […] Students of Parker (myself included) will find much of this material fascinating. […] Even when struggling to develop what he was trying to achieve, Parker sounded tireless and in command.
I got the shipping confirmation for mine already two weeks ago, yet it is not bound to arrive before August. Wondering how it got shipped. In the meanwhile this great review on Jazz Wax will have to do.

The Swann Systems story
In 1993 Sheila was introduced to sage which was DOS version at the time, she had 2 small children and spent the evenings inputting 6 months of accounts. She had a very good supportive accountant and as Sheila had never done accounts before found that she had entered the data incorrectly. After 2 times of inputting the data for 6 months then Sheila got it right on the 3rd time. She vowed at that point that she would make sure that nobody else would go through the same trauma she had been through and would be there to support small business owners. She continued assisting her partner from 1993 until 2002 in an IT Services Company they were a sage support centre and specialised in IT support but also sage training. Sheila did all of the accounts for both the limited company and partnership companies so gained a lot of expertise of supporting business owners at that point.
Swann Systems was born in September 2002 and has remained with the ethos to assist small business owners for their accounts and bookkeeping needs with the idea is to make sure they don't make the same mistakes as other people and that we are always there in the background as a helping hand for them.
In 2007 Caroline and then Ian joined the team in helping Sheila look after the business owners. The team has had various bookkeepers come and go over the years, but in 2014 we were joined by Cym who is now taking over the internal admin of the company which has been a godsend In 2016 Ian retired and was replaced by Kate, who focuses on all our payroll bureau needs, so as a Swann team we feel we are now covering all angles.
What our clients say
Swann Systems gives you peace of mind. They have a good team of experienced and well-trained people. The way Sheila treats my company with attention and care, defending my interest against third parties makes Swann the right decision for accounting, taxes and general companies advice.
Vicente Jauregui – Pimaco
I would just like to thank you and your team, particularly Caroline, for doing such an amazing job. I get the reports I want, and everything is done in a timely and professional way. This leaves me with the time I need to run my business and not have to worry about the book-keeping.
Sali Brown – Chelton Brown
"We are very pleased to have the support of Swann System's services. The payroll procedure is very simple and straightforward. The team at Swann are very helpful and supportive. A great relationship - thank you!"

"Following the Retirement of our Accountant, Swann Systems stepped into the breach and bought our payroll into the 21st Century with the introduction of a computer based payroll system. Every aspect of our payroll is managed by Swann Systems, and all we need to do is write the cheques! Swann Systems provide prompt, accurate information and are pleasant to deal with."
Roger Evans, St. Oswalds Church
"Our Bookkeeper had left at short notice in April and I had no idea how to perform payroll for the imminent year end. A supplier recommended Swann Systems. After understanding what we needed help with, Swann Systems promptly completed our payroll year end, filed them online. They also provided training so that I could take over the payroll and perform this activity for myself in the future. I found Swann System to be knowledgeable, friendly, thorough and very helpful. I would highly recommend them."
Dawn Christmas-Smith, Danetre Workshop Supplies (Training Client)
"We have been with Swann Systems for a number of years and have always found them to be efficient, accurate and very helpful when we need questions answering. As a charity, costs are important to us and we find that Swann Systems costs are not prohibitive for what they do for us. They are always friendly and this makes working with them a pleasure."
Roger Evans, St Matthew & St Oswald Church
"I have known Sheila in a professional capacity since 2006 and am always impressed by her professionalism, skill, dedication and very hard working nature. On a personal level, Sheila is a friendly and warm person and always a pleasure to work with."
Martin Sparrow, Suretax Accounting
"With the ever increase in knowledge, Revenue scrutiny and compliance associated with payroll, I decided that my time could be better employed than dealing with it and so contacted Sheila to do our payroll. The service has been excellent with the staff coming up with suggestions as to how we pay the most to employees with minimum deductions.
I have been pleased to recommend Swann Systems to clients to handle their payrolls and they have expressed how well the service is working for them."
Jonathan Meredith, JM Accountants

Carin Jackson, Jackson Management
"Sheila has an upbeat and positive attitude, always with a smile on her face. She is proficient at her work and will always go that extra mile for you and spend time explaining any technical terms or figures in a way that can be understood if you are not accounts minded."
Angela Steel, Alex Lee Kitchens Ltd
"Oh for more people like Sheila- who actually knows how to do the job well and delivers consistently! Makes my job as an accountant so much easier to have a bookkeeper who can actually book keep with intelligence, insight and integrity."
David Nicoll, Management in a Box
"Sheila provided me with the services I required at a cost I could afford and helps us move to a workable accounting system and procedures. The service is brilliant and the people excellent"
Tim Hunt, Apollo Blinds

Trevor Ford, ITSU
"Sheila Bell and her company Swann Systems continues to be a solid, helpful and reliable company. Quite frankly without her assistance I would be in trouble, she is my rock, with a sense of humour!"
Roger Dore, Inspirational Labels
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your work that you have given to our company over the past two years. Your assistance has always been most professional but more importantly it has been done in a friendly way. Too often in this day and age people come in do their work and get out, but as you are aware I am not a professional Accountant and I am quite sure you must sometimes wonder what I have done. But you take it in your stride and very patiently show me the error of my ways. I am sure that we will continue to work together for many years to come."
John Drake, Manager. Rugby Golf Club

Statement from Honda Concerning Confirmed Texas Rupture
Statement from American Honda Motor Co., Inc.
Re: Confirmed Rupture of Takata Airbag Inflator in Fort Bend County, Texas
Statement date: April 7, 2016
During an inspection on Wednesday, April 6, accompanied by representatives of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the Sherriff's Department of Fort Bend County, Texas, and Takata, American Honda confirmed that the Takata driver's airbag inflator ruptured in the crash of a 2002 Honda Civic on March 31, 2016, in Fort Bend County, Texas, resulting in the tragic death of the driver. Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with the family of the driver during this difficult time.
Honda has shared all available vehicle history information collected to date with NHTSA and will continue to cooperate with NHTSA throughout the process of investigating this crash.
Since 2011, the vehicle involved in this crash has been included in multiple recalls and a market campaign. Multiple mailed recall notices related to the driver's Takata airbag inflator were sent over the course of several years to registered owners of the vehicle involved in the crash, including multiple notices to the current registered owner. Our records indicate that the recall repair was never completed.
Honda currently has sufficient supplies of replacement inflators to complete the required repairs under the open recall that affects this vehicle, and we continue to encourage all owners of affected vehicles to seek repair immediately.
*Note: For the purpose of clarification, while replacement parts are available for the Takata airbag inflator recalls announced prior to 2016, including those recalls affecting the above-referenced vehicle, replacement inflators for the driver airbag inflator recall announced on February 3, 2016, which are being sourced from an alternative supplier, are not yet available as of the date of this statement. Honda expects to begin receiving replacement inflators for this latest recall within the next few days, and owners of affected vehicles will receive a mailed notification inviting them to pursue repair when parts are available for each individual vehicle.
*Note two: Honda is making a strong, passionate effort to reach and take care of our customers impacted by this issue. In addition to millions of mailed recall notifications, Honda has employed a multitude of new, innovative tactics to reach and take care of our customers. For example, we doubled the size of our Customer Relations team, which has made millions of direct and automated phone calls to affected owners. We've also advertised, used text messaging, taken advantage of opportunities to raise awareness at live events, and more. We encourage you to review many of the actions we've deployed as detailed at the following link. This resource will also answer many foundational questions you may have on this issue: https://hondaairbaginfo.com/takata-airbag-inflator-recall-fact-sheet/
[Note to the Media: Please include the following as you report this story – Thank You!]
American Honda continues to urge owners of Honda and Acura vehicles affected by the Takata airbag inflator recalls to get their vehicles repaired at authorized dealers as soon as possible. Vehicle owners can check their vehicles' recall status at www.recalls.honda.com for Honda owners or www.recalls.acura.com for Acura owners or by calling their authorized dealer.

Decorated SOE Major betrayed by political infighting by Damien Lewis
Caused his untimely death and the defeat of one of Italy's most feared band of partisans.
In a quiet yet picturesque commonwealth war cemetery in Genoa, Italy, lies a man who lived an adventurer's life. His headstone portrays nothing of his exploits, the name carved on it isn't the one he was known by during the war, and the regimental badge thereon obscures the elite 'Special Duty' unit to which he really belonged. The dedication at the bottom of the headstone – "In proud and affectionate memory of a gallant soldier" – goes some way to giving this exceptional man due credit for his secret exploits during the war years.
To the five hundred men and women of the Italian partisan unit he commanded, he was known only as "Major Temple", TEMPLE being his codename in the Special Operations Executive (SOE), Churchill's shadowy 'Ministry for Ungentlemanly Warfare.' But to his parents, Polish-born Herman Darewski, a famous music hall musician of the time, and the English actress Madge Temple, he was known as Neville Lawrence Darewski. It was from his mother's maiden name that he'd taken his distinctive nom de guerre.
Major Darewski was comparatively long in the tooth for an SOE operative. The thirty-year-old had found life in the Royal Army Ordinance Corps an ill fit, and he'd volunteered to join the ranks of the Special Operations Executive, following which he was dropped behind the lines in Italy, in 1943. There, he linked up with the fledgling partisans, living a life of extreme danger, hiding his existence from the enemy.
For long months Major Darewski found himself, 'only moving at night . . . minimum of smoke from fires, kit always ready for immediate move . . . I covered some one thousand miles on foot carrying my kit and arms . . . We had to cross rivers, roads and railways all held by the Germans . . . in small, very mobile parties . . .'
Living on his nerves, always worrying about being denounced by fascist sympathisers, the September 1943 signing of the Italian Armistice, in which the Italians joined forces with the Allies, was music to Major Darewski's ears. Not one to rest on his laurels, he seized advantage of the confusion immediately following the Armistice, seeking to do as much damage to the German enemy as possible.
He led his band of fighters to strike at a major airbase lying just to the rear of the Gothic Line, Nazi Germany's supposedly impregnable last line of defence in Italy, a series of bunkers, gun-emplacements, barbed wire and minefields strung across the height of the Apennine Mountains. It was a daring mission that would prove spectacularly successful.
'We surrounded the airfield and held it for long enough to destroy eighty-nine Italian planes on the ground, and all the hangars and buildings,' Temple reported. Then with characteristic flair: 'We flew away one CR.42 to start the Partisan Air Force . . .' The CR.42 was an Italian Air Force bi-plane, one with an enviable service record and kill ratio.
Not many WWII secret agents could credit themselves with having raised an air wing in enemy territory. It took nerves of steel and real dash to attack an airfield held by seasoned troops with his force of lightly armed and irregular partisans. It also took real foresight to see that even a single aircraft would be a valuable weapon, and was far better than none, especially as Darewski had his partisans busy building an airstrip in the comparative safety of the mountains.
But that pitched battle for the airfield brought Darewski and his forces to the attention of the Germans, who decided to attempt to snuff out this spirited rebellion behind their lines. Darewski had returned to the hills and set about inflicting maximum hurt on the enemy. The Germans might hold the population centres, but out in the countryside they were entering bandit territory and faced the threat of ambush at every turn.
'The Hun got very annoyed and threatened the direst of penalties to anyone caught doing this,' Darewski pointed out, which only served to encourage him. From his mountain stronghold – from where there were views all the way to Turin – Darewski planned and executed his operations, all the time supplied by air from the SOE's Italian headquarters. He proved a real thorn in the side of the local German commander, as his 500 strong partisan force operated to their full potential.
But Operation FLAP, as his mission was ironically named – no one was likely to get a 'flap-on' with Major TEMPLE in command – was not to last. Darewski's downfall – and that of Operation FLAP in its entirety – was to come in November 1944, and it wasn't due mostly to the enemy. Mercenary back room manoeuvring in Italy and London would have a major hand in his and FLAP's demise.
The supplies that Darewski had been receiving started to dry up. Drops of weaponry and ammunition that he relied upon began to dwindle. When he requested more he found himself fobbed off. Little did Darewski know that Allied policy dictated from on high was changing when it came to arming "left leaning" partisans. London was increasingly unsure as to which side of the political spectrum the Italian irregulars would come down on at the end of hostilities. Simply put, Whitehall didn't want a lot of heavily armed Italian 'communists' to contend with, after they had finished with the Nazis.
Many of the Italian partisans were nominally 'communist'. But to Major Darewski they were also die-hard anti-Nazis intent on driving the German enemy out of Italy once and for all. The supplies he requested were all that were keeping him and his men alive, in a war against an increasingly desperate enemy. Yet Whitehall seemed to have little issue with leaving him – and his partisans – hanging out to dry, as the air-drops failed to materialise.
Bereft of re-supplies, and unable to hold the enemy at bay, German patrols managed to penetrate Darewski's lines and surround his headquarters. On 15 November 1944, packing what few supplies remained onto a truck, Darewski and his core commanders hoped to escape the encirclement. But a simple twist of fate saw the premature and tragic end to this exemplary of SOE commanders. Whilst boarding the truck to escape, his driver lost control and in doing so crushed Darewski against a wall. With numerous injuries there was little his comrades could do for him, and he died soon afterwards.
His death was reported by radio to headquarters, by his W/T operator, a dour Lancastrian former coal-miner called Bert Farrimond. Darewski had been evacuating his headquarters, as the enemy executed a fierce sweep of the valley. Never one for hyperbole, Farrimond reported that 'everything went wrong, catastrophe overtook us, the Major receiving fatal injuries in the accident.' Within forty-eight hours Farrimond had been pulled out by air. 'With the Major gone the mission was finished, so to this end . . . I came out with eleven others in a bomber . . .'
Major Darewski's death was the worst kind in war, in that it was wholly avoidable. Accidents happen, but had he been supplied with weaponry to keep the enemy at bay, as he'd repeatedly asked for, then he would never would have found himself having to flee. Instead, and as he had promised, he could have gone on to inflict maximum pain on the German garrisons, binding their forces to his area. His death freed them up to finish off his remaining partisans, and from there to advance and cause the deaths of British, American and allied soldiers on the front line. Betrayal at the stroke of a pen back in London had also cost the Darewskis their son, and his wife a husband.
If you ever find yourself in Staglieno Cemetery, Genoa, pay a visit to the grave marked simply: 'Major Darewski, Neville Lawrence Temple, of the Royal Army Ordinance Corps who died on the 15th of November 1944.' You'll know the truth behind his heroic deeds and his sad end that the simple headstone does not portray.

An Empirical Examination of Factors Driving the Offshore Renminbi Market
China Economic Journal, Forthcoming
Claremont McKenna College Robert Day School of Economics and Finance Research Paper
36 Pages Posted: 31 May 2016
Date Written: May 31, 2016
Following the 2010 establishment of the offshore renminbi market in Hong Kong, renminbi deposits there quickly rose above RMB 1 trillion. In this paper we examine fluctuations between the offshore value of the renminbi in Hong Kong and its onshore value in mainland China. The size of the spot market spread appears to be influenced by stock market sentiment as reflected in the spread between A-share listed in Shanghai and H-shares listed in Hong Kong. There is also some evidence of a link between the spread and the pace of renminbi deposit growth in Hong Kong.
Note: *An earlier version of this paper was presented at the annual meetings of the Western Economic Association in Honolulu, Hawaii, June 28-July 2, 2015. The authors thank Tom Willett, Leroy Laney, Niv Horesh and an anonymous referee for helpful comments.
