Veterans, service members and military families rely on the open Internet to stay in touch with loved ones overseas, and to access essential services at home such as health care, education and employment. The repeal of net neutrality gives cable companies the authority to throttle traffic, censor online free speech and charge new fees that veterans can’t afford. If you are a US veteran or active-duty service member, please sign this open letter calling on our elected officials in Congress to restore net neutrality.
Dear Member of Congress,
We are US veterans calling on our elected officials in Congress to protect the free and open internet. Veterans, military families, and service members rely on the Internet to keep in touch with loved ones overseas and access essential services at home. The open Internet allows American small businesses to thrive, and has created new jobs — in the tech field and others — that veterans urgently need.
The loss of net neutrality will allow cable companies to throttle services to online communities used by service members, censor free speech, and charge new fees that veterans can’t afford. The end of net neutrality jeopardizes access to VA telemedicine, streaming video calls, even online banking... all services veterans and our families rely on.
As veterans, we have served and we have sacrificed. When we put on the uniform we were told it was to defend basic freedoms for all. We are deeply concerned those same freedoms will not be protected without strong, enforceable net neutrality. As a result, we are asking our representatives to sign the discharge petition and vote for the Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution to reverse the FCC’s repeal and restore open Internet protections that are essential for American’s online freedom.
Thank you for considering our views.
Thousands of veterans from all five branches of service have signed this open letter to Congress, urging our lawmakers to listen to the voices of the people and overturn the FCC's repeal of net neutrality. These are just a few comments from men and women who feel that the destruction of net neutrality is counter to the values they have fought to protect:
“Net neutrality is tantamount to freedom of speech. Anyone who tries to interfere with one of the most fundamental of American rights is a traitor. Once again, American values are being sold to corporate interests by those that are supposed to representing the citizens.” Jackie Critser
“I'm very disappointed that I'll have to tell my grandchildren that I fought in a war so that the US could stay involved in politics in the middle east, but all I did to preserve one of the most American things about us (free internet) was sign a stupid petition. Please do something. Nothing worse than a bunch of pissed off military service members.” Tim Barber, USMC
“I am a veteran who is in school for Information Technology. The loss of net neutrality has not done anything to improve the internet access. It will only damage the infrastructure of US internet as prices for connections increase without any improvements to speed. As a veteran whos future income is tied to high internet speeds without data caps, this is a large concern.” James W. Bryant, United States Marine Corps
“USAF, Desert Storm Era. I know firsthand what a vital tool the Internet is for veterans, and particularly when it comes to those deployed overseas, it becomes literally a lifeline. The net should be treated as traffic-neutral; any other method is simply not sustainable and flies in the face of the Internet's design.” Kelly Luck
“We've seen what happens when big business is give free reign. It consumes without thought or conscience. Now it threatens to consume communication and information that people need to stay informed - a form of freedom I as a military member swore to protect. Return to net neutrality.” Lorianne Arwood, Air Force
“I stood up for freedom when my country needed me, now I need my country to stand up for freedom. Protect Net Neutrality, please.” Pat Taber, Army
“Freedom is what america stands for, not helping the rich get richer by taking advantage of what has free reign and marketing it and restricting the use of th8ngs like the internet. Net neutrality, in my eyes is upheld by the 1st amendment, freedom of speach. If the fcc has the right to block, charge extra or even limit what we are exposed to, that is an infringement on our rights as american citizens. I, as a vet am completely appalled by the government to even let this be considered.” Marcus Gioia
“I was always told the airwaves were owned by the people and leased to corporations. If that is in fact true, then we the people should have a say in how & to whom they are leased. Just because our govt. dropped the ball on 9/11 should not mean we the people should pay an indefinite price for their mistake. It is past time that the American people should have a say in what is rightfully theirs. Net neutrality should be the law, not net monopoly.” Gordon LeMons, USMC
“Please don't let this be another way that our government let's down veterans. Stand for what you k ow is right.” Jennifer Welling, Air Force Veteran
“This hurts aging vets who have to live on small fixed incomes.” Carl Fussell, Army
“Open free speech is not a commercial commodity. It is lifeline to all whether it is to promote commerce or family communications. The FCC ruling censors that by allowing providers control over access. That is wrong. Those in the service of this country rely on open communication with loves ones.” John L Aponick
“Couldnt agree more, I signed up to defend freedom not what some faceless corporation determines what my freedom will be. Freedom is Freedom.” Bill Deboer, USMC
“Free exchange of ideas as the Constitution permits is just a part what we were serving to protect.” Raymond C. Bryan
“As a U.S. veteran, the freedom of the Internet has meant everything to me. It belongs to everyone in the form it started. Some gave all, and some served longer but at 21+ years I would not want it tampered with by the politicians, the FCC and big business billionaire companies that paid them to disrupt and/or take away one more of the freedoms that we enjoy as United States citizens.” Eric Bollin, Army
“We need open access to the internet... The private sector did not create the internet... they need to keep their hands and profit seeking off the need. we need open communication without interference!” Thomas Unthank, Army | Signal Corp
“This is a no-brainer to everyone who is not a telecom lobbyist.” Matthew Twomey, Army
“As an educator, the thought of an individual being able to slow down, limit or restrict access to information based on their personal beliefs is terrifying. As a Gunnery Sergeant in the Marines it is a slap in the face to all those whom fight to protect the constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic, and they are spitting on the graves of all those who died to protect the same.” Luis Garcia
“Disgraceful. Is THIS what we risked our lives for? For big and fancy people and business control what the little people can and can't do? If I would've known this would happen I wouldn't have signed up. Screw YOU Ajit Pai! And Trump? What the hell, man? I VOTED for you! Next time you better count my ass out!” James Walter
“When I served to defend "The Land of the Free," I never imagined an Internet. I'd like to think that Freedom could be applied to the internet, though. My nephew is now serving and he relies on his daily contact with his wife and two young sons. For ONCE please start thinking beyond your precious Bottom Line and the donors to whom you are probably "beholdin'." Think of those who serve. And serve THEM for a change.” Clifford Niven
“Breaking net neutrality is an attack on the American values of free speech; my oath, even retired, demands that I oppose these actions. Reinstitute net neutrality!” Victor B Putz Jr, USAF
“Taking away net neutrality is a red flag to me and probably to many in our country that our democracy is slipping away and that the profit and power of the elite is more important than the welfare and dignity of the citizens of this country. Please send the right message this time to your constituents and restore net neutrality. It will go a long way in helping to restore the trust we have in our government !” Marty E Levin, army
“I am an Army Signal Corps veteran who worked at a Detroit non-profit (now retired) to provide computer training, technology and connectivity to the under-served of our community in an effort to bridge the Digital Divide. The loss of Net Neutrality cripple those efforts to provide low income folks the access to very vital digital communication.” Anthony Semanik, Army
“"Drain the swamp!" End political appointment of corporate shills. (Yes, I'm talking about you, Ajit Pai.)” Glen Neff, Army
“The internet is what makes it possible for me to take care of my families needs while deployed. Communication, banking, bill paying, even the administration of deployments themselves require internet. There are plenty of cases where corporations screw over those in uniform, so many places where a service is denied just because I put on the uniform. It needs to stop. Bring back real internet protections for those of us that really need them through Title 2 oversight.” Edward S. Savich, United States Navy
“Corporate influence in Congress has corrupted the values I lost my legs for, and the situation with net neutrality is one of the most blatant examples. This needs to change. That can start by honoring net neutrality.” Adrian Simone, USMC
“Net neutrality shouldn't be a partisan idea. It's the right answer for the future of the internet. Do the right thing.” Michael Hoyt
“You’re constantly putting money in pockets that don’t struggle and taking more and more from pockets who do. This is another example. Striking down net neutrality is going to allow money hungry giants to continue to feed on hard working Americans. It might even hurt those who are trying to further their education. I support my President, but I do not support all his decisions and this is one of those I don’t.” Andy Klotz, Army
“I am a disabled veteran, I use things such as; Facebook and LinkedIn to keep in touch with my battle buddies in North Carolina,please reverse the FCC repeal of net neutrality” Forrest Perez
“I feel that this Net Neutrality is a very important issue, and that our Congress have dropped the ball on it...they should have fought for the rights of the people, not corporations!” Brant Pfister, Army
“As a US Navy veteran who deployed from my family numerous times, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of being able to connect via the internet with loved ones at home. Please act to repeal the FCC decision to roll back net nutrality rules and keep an open and fair internet for our service members and their family.” Robert York
“Vietnam-Era Hospital Corpsman who believes open access to information and a variety of viewpoints is essential to true democracy.” David Casker, Navy
“I work in the IT industry as well as being an Army veteran and I am extremely disappointed that the FCC has abdicated its responsibility to protect American citizens from abuse by major Internet Service Providers. I respectfully demand that Congress take action to reverse the FCC decision to remove Title 2 oversight of Internet Service Providers.” Chris Prescott, Army
“I, and all of the veterans served (or continue to serve) to protect our country and our Constitution. As we served honorably, I now ask you to honorably serve us by defeating the loss of net neutrality.” Robert Jones
“As a proud veteran of the USMC, I strongly support net neutrality backed by Title 2 oversight of ISPs. Corporations should have no right to restrict or favor any internet traffic over another. In contrast to the lies of Ajit Pai we have seen corporations such as Verizon, Comcast and others attempt to do just that prior to the previous net neutrality laws (which did not go far enough to protect the internet). Please do what we we elected you to do and represent the American people in this and not lobbyists for corporations. We will be watching how you vote.” Eldon Alameda
“I am without words to express how betrayed I feel... the country I love so much, and would give my life defending, is handing our digital freedom to the service providers. Our only voice against their cable monopolies was cutting the cord. When that finally started to make a difference, they came for the internet... and the FCC gave it to them! I just received a letter this morning from my service provider, informing me that they would be downgrading my video streaming quality to SD, despite my unlimited data. However, I could upgrade to HD for an additional monthly charge. This is the internet being held hostage.” Tom Bennard, Army
“I work from home and my company does not reimburse my internet costs. Ending net neutrality will surely impact my cost of service and will jeopardize my ability to stay working for the company I've been employed for 19 years. Not to mention the other negative implications to average Americans. Please reverse the FCC's ill-advised ruling.” Justin Singmaster, Army
“I wore the uniform of my country for nearly 24 years and never intended for the benefits of that service to be limited to wealthy fellow citizens.” Larry Holman
“I expect this to be a top priorit for my representatives. If it is not they will not get my vote in their next re-election.” Rebecca Griswold, Navy
“As a US Veteran, I strongly support net neutrality backed by Title 2 oversight of ISPs. Come on FCC - this is COMMON SENSE. Abolishing net neutrality legislation has the potential to take away freedom of speech to American Citizens due to ISPs being able to control the speeds at which we receive our information.” David Habisohn
“An open internet is the technological keystone to freedom of speech.” Brian McKinley
“I’m a home bound disabled VN Veteran and rely on the neutrality of the Internet every day of my life. It is my only connection to the outside world. Repealing net neutrality only benefits the bottom line of ISPs, telecom networks, and big business in general. The Internet is every bit as necessary to me and everyday citizens as natural gas, electricity, water which without question classifies the Internet as a utility. DO NOT REPEAL NET NEUTRALITY!” Paul Levin, Army
“"Drain the swamp!" End political appointment of corporate shills. (Yes, I'm talking about you, Ajit Pai.)” Glen Neff
“I served 4 in the Corps for our freedoms, and not for a corporation. Please restore Net Neutrality!!” Craig Rose
“I fought for an America of individual choice not corporate monopoly. Restore Net Neutrality!” William Lingenfelter, United States Army
“Please don't take away net neutrality. Not being able to use the services of unfettered internet while on deployment will be a nightmare for those deployed and their families.” Thomas Garrett, USAF
These organizations support the veterans and active service members who have signed the open letter to Congress to restore net neutrality.

Farmscape for July 5, 2012 (Episode 4188)
The U.S. based National Pork Producers Council says it will be urging the United States to comply with last week's World Trade Organization ruling that U.S. Country of Origin Labelling violates U.S. trade obligations.
Last week the World Trade Organization Appellate Body upheld a November 2011 Dispute Settlement Panel ruling that U.S. Mandatory Country of Origin Labelling discriminates against imported livestock and is inconsistent with U.S. trade obligations.
The U.S. now has 15 months to bring the labelling law into compliance with WTO rules or face possible retaliatory tariffs.
National Pork Producers Council vice-president and council for international affairs Nick Giordano says the United States is a strong supporter of the WTO and he's confident the United States will comply with the ruling.
Clip-Nick Giordano-National Pork Producers Council:
We want this to happen sooner rather than later because we don't want to get to a point where Ottawa and or Mexico City are discussing retaliation.
I don't think that's in anybody's best interest.
We're NAFTA trading partners and now both Canada and Mexico are taking the plunge along with the U.S. in the Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations so I don't think anybody wants a trade battle here.
I don't think other sectors in the United States want to be dragged into this and that's what happens if you reach the point where there's retaliation.
But again I believe the United States will come into conformity and certainly the National Pork Producers Council has been and will be urging the United States to do that and when we do that this trade irritant will go away.
Giordano acknowledges the U.S. has 12 to 15 months to bring its laws into compliance with the WTO ruling, the NPPC will be working hard to make sure that happens and he's confident that is going to happen.
For Farmscape.Ca, I'm Bruce Cochrane.

PA Malpractice Lawyer - Helping medical malpractice victims in Pennsylvania
Perhaps your teenaged son just got arrested for committing a minor drug offense (such as marijuana possession); or perhaps you or your spouse stands accused of money laundering, embezzlement, or some other white collar crime. A Bucks County criminal lawyer can review the charges against you and design and execute a strategic plan to either get the charges dismissed or to minimize your sentence and maximize your chance for rehabilitation.
Types of Cases That a Bucks County Criminal Lawyer Will Take On
Your Bucks County lawyer may specialize in one or more of the following arenas of criminal defense:
What determines how you will be charged? Prosecutors might consider: the severity of your crime and your intent; whether you have a criminal history; whether you demonstrate contrition and a desire to be rehabilitated; and what state of mind you were in when you did the alleged criminal act. Typically, violations of Pennsylvania law fall into three categories: infractions, misdemeanors, and felonies. You can be charged with multiple “counts” of illegal behavior, and the penalties can be additive. Punishments might include jail time, fines, court costs, mandatory restitution to people/institutions you’ve harmed, loss of your drivers’ license and other privileges, forced probation, and other long-term secondary consequences – such as increased difficulty getting loans and damage to your professional reputation.
Designing a Blueprint to Fight Charges
Each case that a Bucks County criminal lawyer takes on is different. To that end, your attorney will have to leverage both his/her experience and resources – and specific information about your background and charges to cultivate a respectable defense. You might be surprised by the diversity of legal options at your disposal. For instance, say you’ve been accused of committing a DWI on a Philadelphia side street. Your Bucks County criminal lawyer can analyze the circumstances of your arrest, the results of your breathalyzer test, and even the quality of the police work done to probe for weaknesses in the prosecution’s argument. For example, a detailed analysis may reveal that the breathalyzer test yielded a “false positive” – in other words, the machine malfunctioned and said that you had a BAC of over 0.08% when, in fact, you did not – or the evidence was ambiguous.
To maximize the power of your Bucks County criminal lawyer, you need to be upfront and honest about your concerns and about what actually happened. The information you provide your Bucks County lawyer will be strictly confidential – meaning that there are no consequences to saying anything to him or her. A quality Bucks County criminal lawyer will agree to meet with you first for free (also known as a “free first consultation”), so that you can ask questions before you retain him or her.

My first blog on my new site commemorates the advent of real estate as we know it.
A Knight at Home
The gait was smooth as he strode into Runnymede. The tension was high with anticipation as the sound of horses, leather and the steel of armor and weapons noted their presence on a late spring day. It was a way of life for William to do the crafted dance around kings, knights and barons that proved his knightly longevity to become Earl of Pembroke. June 15, 1215 bore the Magna Carta and William played a crucial role. A balance of power was forced upon King John of England by a council of 25 Barons who were fed up with the indiscriminate abuse of power by the king. William Marshall, a knight of great reputation to both sides, helped broker the "Great Charter".
Among the many rights of the Magna Carta which have thread their way through history into our Constitution, the "fee simple estate" has had a most positive and profound effect on the economic wealth of our country.
The Fifth Amendment guarantees that "no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law" a phrase that was derived from the Magna Carta.
The ownership of your home enjoys the benefit of "fee simple absolute" or fee simple which is the highest estate permitted by law. It gives you the right to possess your property and hold for an indeterminate amount of time. The word "fee" was derived from the word "fief" which was a feudal land holding subject to the king's conditions and desire. When the feudal land system was abolished all fiefs became "simple" without conditions attached to the possession and benefit of your home. Hence fee simple.
You can thank, in part, a knight of great repute and chivalry for the enjoyment you have in owning your home. Sir William Marshall, Earl of Pembroke.

A lawsuit was filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County that alleged an indivisible injury since the accidents occurred in such close proximity to each other. At the close of discovery, the insurance carrier for each defendant agreed to pay its policy limit of $100,000 to resolve the claim.

When they need some academic assistance, they buy a case brief from the custom writing services of TopDissertations.com.

In a nutshell, a case brief provides comprehensive analysis about a particular legal case that you have chosen to discuss. You lay out the facts of the case, the arguments presented by the parties, the court’s judgment, and an explanation for why you believe the case is important. What makes them a challenge is that they adhere to a very specific structure, require a great deal of case research, and require you to express your own opinion of the case based on sound reasoning.

Tips for Writing a Case Brief
Law students are often assigned case briefs and for good reason: the ability to analyze court cases and present them in an organized manner is the essence of law. Of course, this does not mean students enjoy writing them. They are tedious assignments that require a significant amount of research, a solid understanding of how law works, and the ability to understand technical concepts that are exclusive to the law. This means using appropriate word choices, structuring the paper in a very organized way, and explaining the facts of the case clearly. For most law students this is too much to handle.
To get started on your assignment, take a look at a legal case brief example or two. It would also be helpful to take a look at law school websites since they all contain templates that can provide good guidance. You will notice that case briefs are intended to be a short version of the case law, but at the same time must contain all of the pertinent information. You might need to gain some writing experience in order to best achieve this.
How to Structure Your Case Brief:
- Start with the introduction. In this part of the paper, you will make reference to the title of the case long with the parties involved.
- Case details. You will explain the circumstances and issues, facts of the case, and the decision that the court rendered.
- Discuss whether you believe the case was properly decided. Make sure to use sound logic and evidence as you either support the opinion or explain why it was flawed.
Final Tips on Writing a Case Brief
Nobody is born with the natural ability to write a case brief. Even bright law students need to familiarize themselves with the guidelines. Here are some suggestions that can help you write an effective paper:
- Gather all of the facts of the case and create an outline. Having the facts laid out will make it easier for you to put together the case brief. Make sure to catalogue everything so that you will be able to go back and quickly locate all of the information from case files.
- Create a comprehensive record of everything that has transpired in the court case to date. This includes all of the verdicts, the appeals, and whatever else that will provide a full picture of the case.
- Develop a list of questions regarding the main issues. In most cases, it is best to structure them as “yes or no” questions.
- Discuss the legal principles and rules that formed the basis of this case.
- Carefully explain the legal rationale behind the court’s decision. It should be done in narrative form and incorporate all of the parts of the case along with the reasoning. This is one of the most time-consuming elements of the case brief, but it is also the most important.
- While you might want to make reference to the concurring or dissenting opinion of the judges, do not focus too much on this as it is little more than a footnote. When the courts themselves identify other court cases as the basis for their decision, they never make note of any opinion other than the one rendered by the majority.
- Why did you choose this particular case? You will need to explain its importance when presenting it during class. For instance, was it a landmark decision? Is it an issue that is related to controversial legal questions that remain unresolved today?
- Make sure to think about any questions that your case presents so that when they are discussed in class, your classmates will be able to ponder them and provide their own insight.

The Short Story
Businesses historically have not been able to use the Section 41 research credit in tax years where there was no regular income tax liability. However, on December 18, 2015, then-President Obama signed into law the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act of 2015, which includes favorable changes to the research credit that help mitigate the impact of this limitation.
In particular, the PATH Act of 2015 allows certain small businesses to offset their alternative minimum tax (AMT) or payroll tax liability with the research credit. As a result, small businesses in an AMT or loss position that otherwise would not have claimed the research credit should now consider doing so.
Background on the R&D Tax Credit
The research credit under Section 41 was enacted in 1981 to stimulate research and development in the United States by helping businesses offset some of the costs associated with increasing their qualified research activities. Over its lifetime, the research credit has been subject to various ‘sunset’ provisions, but regularly extended (often retroactively), resulting in year-to-year uncertainty about its future.
However, the PATH Act of 2015 made the research credit permanent after December 31, 2014. The credit, as permanently extended, retains both the regular credit and the alternative simplified credit (ASC) options. Therefore, businesses will continue to have the opportunity to compare the two methods and choose the more favorable one by making an annual election on a timely filed federal return.
Businesses that have not claimed a regular credit in a prior year may make the election on a timely filed amended return for that year. The PATH Act of 2015 also opens the door for a new mix of businesses to utilize the research credit. For tax years beginning after December 31, 2015, the research credit is expanded to allow certain small businesses to benefit from the credit in tax years where there is no regular income tax liability (a regular income tax liability normally is a requirement of Section 38, related to the general business credit, of which the research credit is a part).
Offsetting the AMT Liability
Businesses in an AMT position may now be able to offset their tax liability with the research credit, a new category of ‘specified credit’ under Section 38(c)(4)(B). In order to offset its AMT liability with the research credit, a business must be an ‘eligible small business’ (ESB).
Qualification as an ESB An ESB is defined in Section 38(c)(5)(C) as a sole proprietorship, partnership, or non-public corporation with average annual gross receipts of $50 million or less for the three preceding tax years.
For this purpose, rules similar to those found in Section 448(c)(2) and (3) are applied in determining gross receipts:
- All persons treated as a single employer under Section 52(a) or (b), or Section 414(m) or (0), are treated as one person (i.e., gross receipts are aggregated).
- If the entity was not in existence for the entire three-year period, then the gross receipts requirement is based on the period during which the entity was in existence (i.e., a period of less than three tax years).
- For any short tax year, gross receipts are annualized (i.e., gross receipts for the short period are multiplied by 12 and the result is divided by the number of months in the short period).
- Gross receipts for any tax year are reduced by returns and allowances made during that same year.
- Predecessor entities are taken into account in determining gross receipts.
With respect to an S corporation or partnership, the gross receipts requirement must be met both by the entity and its various shareholders or partners. Therefore, one shareholder or partner may qualify to use the research credit to offset an AMT liability while other shareholders or partners may be ineligible.
EXAMPLE: Partners A and B (Albert and Betty) each own 50% of Partnership Z, an ESB. In 2016, Partnership Z generates a research credit of $4 million. For the three preceding tax years, Partner A had average annual gross receipts of $40 million and Partner B had average annual gross receipts of $55 million. Because Partner A’s gross receipts did not exceed $50 million, Partner A can use his distributive share of the research credit to offset his AMT liability. Partner B cannot use her share of the research credit to offset her AMT liability because she did not meet the gross receipts requirement. If Partnership Z had not qualified as an ESB, neither Partner A nor Partner B would be able to offset his or her AMT liability.
Claiming the Benefit
No election is required in order to offset an ESB’s AMT liability with its research credit. ESBs simply complete the applicable research credit forms, including the new line items. An ESB may offset any amount of AMT with its research credit, subject to the general limitation applicable to specified credits. Any unused credit generally may be carried back one tax year and carried forward 20 tax years. However, it is not clear whether an unused research credit from the 2016 tax year may be carried back to the 2015 tax year in order to offset AMT paid in that year since this new provision was not effective until the 2016 tax year.
Offsetting Payroll Tax Liability
Businesses in a loss position (e.g., start-ups) may now be able to monetize their research credit by applying it against their payroll tax liability. In order to offset its payroll tax liability with the research credit, a business must be a ‘qualified small business’ (QSB). Qualification as a QSB A QSB is defined in Section 41(h)(3) as a partnership, corporation, or person with gross receipts of less than $5 million for the current tax year and no gross receipts for any tax year preceding the five tax year period ending with the current tax year. A tax-exempt organization cannot be a QSB.
EXAMPLE: Partnership Z generates $4 million of gross receipts in 2016. It had $7 million of gross receipts in 2015, 2014, 2013, and 2012. It had no gross receipts in 2011 and earlier tax years. Partnership Z is a QSB in 2016 and may elect to offset its payroll tax liability with the research credit. Partnership Z is a QSB because it had less than $5 million in gross receipts in the year of the election and no gross receipts in any of the tax years preceding 2012. It is irrelevant that Partnership Z did not have gross receipts of less than $5 million during the four tax years immediately preceding the year of the election. In 2017, Partnership Z would not be a QSB because it had gross receipts in 2012.
Gross receipts are determined under Section 448(c)(3), without regard to Section 448(c)(3)(A). As a result, gross receipts are annualized for short tax years, are reduced by returns and allowances, and are adjusted to account for predecessor entities. In addition, entities or persons treated as a single taxpayer under Section 41(f) are treated as a single taxpayer for Insights 3 pwc Section 41(h), meaning in this context that gross receipts must be aggregated for a controlled group of corporations, or for trades or businesses under common control.


Federal Mask Requirement Remains in Effect for COTA
Following the orders of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), facial coverings will remain a requirement on all Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA) transit vehicles and transit facilities until at least March 18. That is when the federal requirement is currently scheduled to expire.

1. Information about Brokerage Services
Before working with a real estate broker, you should know that the duties of a broker depend on whom the broker represents. If you are a prospective seller or landlord (owner) or a prospective buyer or tenant (buyer), you should know that the broker who lists the property for sale or lease is the owner's agent. A broker who acts as a sub agent represents the owner in cooperation with the listing broker. A broker who acts as a buyer's agent represents the buyer. A broker may act as an intermediary between the parties if the parties consent in writing. A broker can assist you in locating a property, preparing a contract or lease, or obtaining financing without representing you. A broker is obligated by law to treat you honestly.
If the Broker Represents the Owner
The broker becomes the owner's agent by entering into an agreement with the owner, usually through a written listing agreement, or by agreeing to act as a sub agent by accepting an offer of sub agency from the listing broker. A sub agent may work in a different real estate office. A listing broker or sub agent can assist the buyer but does not represent the buyer and must place the interests of the owner first. The buyer should not tell the owner's agent anything the buyer would not want the owner to know because an owner's agent must disclose to the owner any material information known to the agent.
If the Broker Represents the Buyer
The Broker becomes the buyer's agent by entering into an agreement to represent the buyer, usually through a written buyer representation agreement. A buyer's agent can assist the owner, but does not represent the owner and must place the interests of the buyer first. The owner should not tell a buyer's agent anything the owner would not want the buyer to know, because a buyer's agent must disclose to the buyer any material information known to the agent.
If the Broker Acts as an Intermediary
A broker may act as an intermediary between the parties if the broker complies with the Texas Real Estate License Act. The broker must obtain the written consent of each party to the transaction to act as an intermediary. The written consent must state who will pay the broker and, in conspicuous bold or underlined print, set forth the broker's obligations as an intermediary. The broker is required to treat each party honestly and fairly and to comply with The Texas Real Estate License Act. A broker who acts as an intermediary in a transaction:
- Shall treat all parties honestly
- May not disclose that the owner will accept a price less than the asking price unless authorized in writing to do so by the owner
- May not disclose that the buyer will pay a price greater than the price submitted in a written offer unless authorized in writing to do so by the buyer
- May not disclose any confidential information or any information that a party specifically instructs the broker in writing not to disclose unless authorized in writing to disclose the information or required to do so by The Texas Real Estate License Act or a court order or if the information materially relates to the condition of the property.
With the parties' consent, a broker acting as an intermediary between the parties may appoint a person who is licensed under the Texas Real Estate License Act and associated with the broker to communicate with and carry out instructions of one party and another person who is licensed under that Act and associated with the broker to communicate with and carry out instructions of the other party.
If You Choose to have a Broker Represent You
You should enter into a written agreement with the broker that clearly establishes the broker's obligations and your obligations. The agreement should state how and by whom the broker will be paid. You have the right to choose the type of representation, if any, you wish to receive. Your payment of a fee to a broker does not necessarily establish that the broker represents you. If you have any questions regarding the duties and responsibilities of the broker, you should resolve those questions before proceeding. Real estate licensee asks that you acknowledge receipt of this information about brokerage services for the licensee's records.
Texas Real Estate Brokers and Salesmen are licensed and regulated by the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC). If you have a question or complaint regarding a real estate licensee, you should contact TREC at P.O. Box 12188, Austin, Texas 78711-2188 or telephone (512) 465-3960.

Street marketing: actions prohibited by law
Behind a street marketing campaign lies a multitude of decrees to respect. Before distributing flyers, berthing passersby, offering free tastings and offering gifts, you must know what are prohibited and how to respect the law.
A street marketing operation is considered “street hawking”. As a result, some rules must be respected.
- never throw out or distribute flyers, posters, leaflets or objects from a vehicle. Even if the vehicle is parked.
- it is forbidden to deposit or throw flyers and other printed matter on the public road or part of the public road, but also on the benches of walks and the buildings of public utility like the schools, the hospitals, the courts …
- do not distribute printed matter during election days.
Regulated areas in Paris
In Paris, the distribution of leaflets is regulated by prefectural decrees. In the areas mentioned below, it is totally forbidden to do street marketing in any form and to challenge passers-by:
- place de l’Étoile
- grands boulevards qui s’étendent de la place de La Madeleine à la place de la République
- avenue des Champs Elysées
- boulevard Saint Michel qui va de la place Saint Michel au boulevard du Montparnasse
- rue de Rennes, de la place du Québec au boulevard du Montparnasse
- rue de la Légion d’Honneur
- place Henri de Montherlant
Also prohibited in Paris, distributions in pedestrian areas, public gardens, public markets and their surroundings, in subways and railway stations.
Street marketing: the obligations incumbent on agencies
The street marketing agencies must respect certain obligations. First, make a declaration to the competent authority. Some information will be requested such as places, distribution times, your business data as an agency, and so on. Do not forget to put the name and address of the printer on all printed matter. During the campaign, be sure to pick up all flyers, leaflets and flyers thrown by passersby, 30 meters around your place. If on the other hand, you must pick up, always 30 meters around, all along your route if you make mobile distribution. Again, refer to the prefecture of the city where you want to do your campaign.
List of some laws that can help you
Here is a non-exhaustive list of the law in force:
- Article R. 412-52 of the Highway Code: prohibiting the distribution of flyers, leaflets or objects to the occupants of a vehicle traveling on a public road.
- Article L. 49 of the Electoral Code: prohibiting the distribution of any type of document on polling days.
- decree of the mayor of Paris n ° 79-561 of November 20th, 1979: forbidden to deposit or to throw, on all or part of the public road, as well as in the buildings of public utility, or on the benches of promenade, all papers, printed matter, newspapers, flyers, etc.
The legislation varies according to the municipalities. In Lyon for example, the distribution of advertising objects is prohibited from 11am to 19pm on a score of places such as Rue de la République, Rue Saint Jean, Place des Terreaux, Quai Victor Augagneur, Rue Victor Hugo … mobile advertising must do at most 16m2.

Labels warning that a product contains chemicals that may cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm are now required on many household items sold in California. But people all over the country might see them because many companies put the labels on all items that contain these chemicals, even if they’re going to be sold in other states. The warning labels can be found on many kinds of products, such as electrical wires, jewelry, padlocks, dishes, flashlights, and pesticides, to name just a few.
California’s Proposition 65, also called the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act, first became law in the state in 1986. It is intended to help Californians make informed decisions about protecting themselves from chemicals that could cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
As part of the law, the state is required to publish a list of chemicals that are “known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity.” The list is updated at least once a year and now contains more than 900 different chemicals. The complete list can be found on the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) website at https://oehha.ca.gov/chemicals
There are several ways a substance can be added to the OEHHA list. One way is if it’s considered by an ‘authoritative body’ to cause cancer in humans or lab animals. Organizations designated as authoritative bodies by the state of California include the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC, which is part of the World Health Organization), the US National Toxicology Program (NTP), and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), among others. (To learn more about these organizations and what they do, see Determining if Something Is a Carcinogen.) The State of California can also make its own determinations about specific substances.
Not all of the cancer-related substances on the OEHHA list are considered to be known human carcinogens (known to cause cancer in people) by the organizations above. This means that not every chemical on the list has been proven to the worldwide scientific community to actually cause cancer in people.
As part of the law, most businesses selling products in California must provide “clear and reasonable warnings” before knowingly exposing people to any chemical on the list, unless the expected level of exposure would pose no significant cancer risk. This warning is often in the form of a label on the product or its packaging.
The law defines “no significant risk” as a level of exposure that would cause no more than 1 extra case of cancer in 100,000 people over a 70-year lifetime. So a compound doesn’t have to be labeled if a person exposed to the substance at the expected level for 70 years is estimated to have less than a 1 in 100,000 chance of getting cancer due to that exposure. The law also has similar strict cutoff levels for birth defects and reproductive harm.
Businesses decide whether to put warning labels on their products based on their knowledge of the types of chemicals in them.
For any product made after August 2018, the Prop 65 labels typically say something like this:
WARNING: This product can expose you to [name of chemical], which is known to the State of California to cause cancer. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
Businesses are not required to use this exact wording (as long as it still provides a “clear and reasonable warning”), so it can vary somewhat between labels.
Prior to August 2018, businesses didn’t have to specify which chemical(s) of concern were in their products, so any products made before this date might not list any specific chemicals. As of August 2018, the label should name at least one chemical of concern. The label doesn’t have to list all of them, although the business might choose to do so.
Some types of products are required to have specific labels as a result of court orders after lawsuits. For example, the required labels on electrical wires such as computer cables, power cords, and holiday lights sold in California are slightly different. (This is discussed below.)
The Proposition 65 warning labels might cause some confusion for people who see them, for a few reasons:
While businesses are required to put warning labels on products, they’re not required to list all of the chemicals that might cause problems, nor are they required to provide the OEHHA with any information about the products. This means the OEHHA cannot offer information to help consumers figure out what the potential risk is with a specific product or how to avoid it.
If you find a warning label on a product and want more information:
Once you know which chemical(s) the product contains, you can usually find more information about it from other sources. For example, the OEHHA has fact sheets on many common chemicals on its website at https://www.p65warnings.ca.gov/fact-sheets. Sometimes you can find information on specific products on the OEHHA website as well.
Products that are sold outside of California are not required to have the warning label even if they contain substances that might cause cancer. Some companies that sell products all over the US only label those sent to California, even though all their products contain the same compounds.
The required labels on electrical wires such as computer cables, power cords, and holiday lights sold in California are slightly different from the labels on other products, and typically say something like this:
WARNING: Handling the cord on this product will expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause [cancer, and] birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
The word “cancer” (in brackets above) is optional, at the judgment of the manufacturer. Many of them use it, possibly to avoid liability.
Lawsuits filed in 2000 charged that electrical manufacturers were selling covered electrical wires and cable products in California without labels, despite the fact that the wires and cables had lead in their coverings. (Lead is a substance on the California list.) As part of the lawsuit settlement, manufacturers were directed to start putting warning labels on electrical cords as of late 2003. People who buy new electrical products are often concerned when they see these warning labels, but cords have contained lead for many years. Only the labels are new.
Cords that are not often plugged and unplugged do not have to be labeled. Cords with lead inside their covering, and cords that are in places that make them inaccessible to consumers during ordinary use do not have to be labeled.

As the Vendor, you are bound by the contract once you have signed – you are not able to cool-off.
With this in mind, we are to peruse the contract, especially any conditions added to the contract, before you sign.
We will explain any contract conditions and clauses. This is to protect your interests. Remember that it is easier to negotiate any changes required before you sign, rather than after.
• If you have a mortgage currently registered on the Title you will be required to sign a Mortgage Discharge Authority which we will forward to your Mortgagee, who will begin the process of discharging your mortgage, provide us with a payout figure and meet with us on settlement day to provide the Certificate of Title.
• If there is no mortgage registered on the Title, you will need to provide the Certificate of Title to us prior to settlement. We will provide you with a receipt to confirm this important document is now in our possession.
• Liaise with all parties on your behalf to ensure settlement occurs on the agreed date, ie. Agent, discharging Mortgagee, Purchaser’s Conveyancer.
• Pay any outstanding rates to Council, ESL, SA Water, and Land Tax and Strata (if applicable) and calculate an adjustment of these rates so you receive a credited portion from the Purchaser.
• Apply to SA Water for a special meter reading, calculate your water use up to settlement day and pay the amount due to SA Water on your behalf.
• Advise SA Water, Council and Strata Corporation (if applicable) of the change in ownership. You are required to contact your telephone, electricity and gas providers prior to settlement to request a final meter reading (if applicable).
• Provide you with a statement detailing all costs, adjustments, amount required to discharge the mortgage and the final balance of funds due to you.
• On the day of settlement we will attend at the Adelaide Land Titles Office on your behalf, meeting with all relevant parties (discharging Mortgagee, Purchaser’s Conveyancer and the Purchaser’s incoming Mortgagee). Settlement will occur between 11am – 12am.
• Funds due to you will then be provided, as per your written instructions.
• We will contact you and the Agent to confirm settlement has been completed.
All of these above procedures are important. However, it is when a property transaction does not occur as planned that the true importance of our role as your Conveyancer becomes apparent. We will then negotiate on your behalf with all concerned parties to ensure your rights under the contract are upheld.
