UK draft gambling (licensing & advertising) bill presented to parliament by t...Market Engel SAS
The Government is committed to strengthening the regulation of remote gambling to ensure that effective consumer protection measures are afforded to all British based consumers. Currently, consumers based in Great Britain face different consumer protection arrangements, and have to deal with a myriad of different regulators, depending on where the remote gambling they are taking part in is regulated. This problem is growing as more countries permit online gambling. At the same time, it is unfair to GB-licensed gambling operators that overseas competitors benefit from access to the market in Great Britain without necessarily bearing a fair share of the costs of regulation, or of research, education and treatment of problem gambling. This draft Bill allows for the amendment of the Gambling Act 2005 so that remote gambling is regulated predominantly on a point of consumption basis. Consequently, all operators selling into the British market, whether based here or abroad, will be required to hold a Gambling Commission licence to enable them to transact with British consumers and to advertise in Great Britain. Such operators will consequently be subject to the provisions of the Gambling Act 2005, its regulations and the Gambling Commission’s social responsibility and technical standards requirements. These operators will also be required to pay Operating Licence fees, and to contribute to research, education and treatment in relation to British problem gambling and regulatory costs These proposals are an important measure to help address concerns about problem gambling and to bridge a regulatory gap, by ensuring that British consumers will enjoy consistent standards of protection, no matter which online gambling site they visit. For example, previous work by the Gambling Commission has highlighted deficiencies in some remote operators’ arrangements for preventing underage play, and, for the first time, overseas operators will be required to inform the UK regulator about suspicious betting patterns to help fight illegal activity and corruption in sports betting. Finally, these reforms will ensure consistency and a level playing field as all overseas operators will be subject to the same regulatory standards and requirements as British-based operators. We look forward to hearing your views, and those of the Culture, Media & Sport Select Committee who have been invited to carry out pre-legislative scrutiny. We trust that this process will ensure that the Bill is well prepared for introduction to Parliament.
This report examines the phenomenon of telework in the EU – particularly in the context of the European Framework Agreement on Telework, which was signed by the peak social partners in July 2002. The report first assesses the incidence of telework across the 27 EU Members States and Norway, highlighting the overall increase in telework usage. It goes on to examine the regulatory framework for telework, with a particular focus on the European Framework Agreement’s implementation in the context of national industrial relations systems and given the unique nature of this autonomous agreement. The report also looks at issues concerning the employment and working conditions of teleworkers – such as health and safety, data protection, access to training and the voluntary nature of telework. It concludes with an overview of the social partners’ position on telework.
Sentate Report: The Tax Deductibility of Foreign Internet Advertising in Canadafriendscb
The Standing Senate Committee on Transport and Communications recommends "that the Government of Canada study the tax deductibility of foreign Internet advertising and publish a report providing its position on the matter. The report should indicate if the government intends to take actions to extend section 19 of the Income Tax Act to Internet advertising; if it does, the government should indicate the best way to do so."
To address the future separation of UK and EU law, all contracts should now include transitional Brexit and change/divergence of law provisions. This webinar is an update on the key areas including currency risk, customs and trade assumptions.

Data Journalism and the Remaking of Data InfrastructuresLiliana Bounegru
Talk given at the “Evidence and the Politics of Policymaking” Conference, University of Bath, 14th September 2016, on the basis of my PhD research at the University of Groningen and University of Ghent.

The Carnegie Museum of Art is attempting to structure provenance data so curators, scholars, and software developers can create visualizations that answer questions that would be difficult or impossible to answer without computer assistance. Provenance, the written description of the history of ownership and custody of art, is typically written as a list of the periods, places, and owners of an artwork. It captures the current best understanding of this history in a succinct and precise manner, and illustrates the gaps and uncertainties that still remain. Provenance is typically written as semi-structured text, following an institution-defined format. It would be useful to have a structured, computer-readable format for this data, allowing for search, visualization, and aggregated research.
The American Alliance of Museums suggested standard, widely used across museums, is not defined with enough specificity to allow automated extraction of the structured data contained within provenance texts. Also, the provenance record model in collection management systems (CMS) is often not designed for structured data or does not provide a way to verify that the provenance text matches the structured data. A comprehensive text-based provenance standard, paired with a software library that can parse records written using this standard and convert them into structured data, would allow existing workflows to remain in place while allowing structured data to be automatically extracted from provenance records. The records could continue to be stored within existing CMS databases but contain machine-readable data for use in research and visualization. Outside of data itself, the stories these objects hold are often moving and sometimes astonishing. This ability to ask impossible questions and receive answers previously inaccessible across a museum’s collection and (eventually) across many museums’ collections is a resource art historians and scholars will find extremely valuable.
Data Visualization for Journalists and MediaDavid Newbury
These are the slides for a presentation given through Code & Supply on how to think about data visualization:
Are you interested in making your stories more dynamic, but not sure how to do it? This four hour workshop will explore basic workflows and techniques for using data to tell stories. We will also be using data to generate maps and charts that are dynamic and generated from real civic data provided in partnership with Pittsburgh OpenData, our Code for America brigade. We will also explore ways to take the visualizations created and place them online!
This was presented with support from the Knight-Mozilla OpenNews project, ONA Pittsburgh, and War Streets Media
As part of the leadup to the Carnegie Museum of Art's Distant Feel Exhibit, the Gulf Tower, a landmark building in downtown Pittsburgh became a giant mood ring for Pittsburgh.
Using the Instagram API, I collected photos from across the Pittsburgh metropolitan area and analyzed them for their general mood. This was used to calculate a positive and negative score for the entire city.
This score was then used to create a giant data visualization using the architectural lighting on the Gulf Tower in Downtown Pittsburgh, PA.

The struggle to set aside savings and the increasing difficulty that many working people find in securing a decent income at retirement is one of the less noticed but potentially most far-reaching issues in the living standards debate.
In her first major speech on pensions policy since becoming Shadow Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, Rachel Reeves MP discussed Labour’s plans for helping those on modest and low incomes save for a pension and secure a decent income at retirement.
These are the slides presented by Michael Johnson, Research Fellow at the Centre for Policy Studies who responded to the speech by Rachel Reeves MP on 29th May 2014.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

The figures give a picture of major expenditure but exclude local
government spending not controlled by central government. We don't
have room to show everything — some programmes are just too small to
go here, but this gives a flavour of where your tax pounds go. It also
excludes government departments that are predominantly financed
bytheir income, such as the Crown Estate or the Export Credits Guarantee
Department. The totals here add up to more than the total budget,
because some of the smaller government departments are funded via the
larger ones, such as the Parliamentary Counsel Office, funded via the
Cabinet Office.
ALL % CHANGES TAKE ACCOUNT OF INFLATION
[1] Interest paid on the public debt.
[2] Treasury spending in 2008-09 and 2009-10 was dominated by the
impact of interventions in the financial sector — the figure shown here is
gross spending. In fact, in 2010-11 the net effect of financial stability
activities was to yield income to the Treasury. Loans to financial
institutions were repaid to the Treasury in 2010-11 and there was no
further purchase of shares and other assets in the year — so we have
shown the core department spending separately. The increase is due to
the provision for Equitable Life.
[3] The Rural Payments Agency distributes CAP payments — covered by
transfers from EU so do not show up as net spending here.
[4] Benefit spending excludes child benefit, guardians' allowance,
widows’ pensions, statutory paternity pay, statutory
adoption pay — these paid by HMRC, MoD, DBERR respectively.
[5] Excludes spending on family health services. GP running cost
includes salaries, hospitality budgets, home and overseas
accommodation costs.
[6] Totals absent from MoD annual report and supplied separately to
other figures by the department.
[7] The amount of government funding from BIS and DCMS, rest from
licence fees from broadcasters and media organisations.
[8] MPs’ expenses now administered by the Independent Parliamentary
Standards Authority (IPSA).
[9] This includes increase of £5bn in est. liabilities for the UK’s nuclear
legacy over the 100 years. It is NOT allocated for spending in one year.
Excl. this DECC’s total expenditure for 2010/11 is therefore £3.16bn with
£1.7bn of that allocated to the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority
