New York State depends on Wall Street tax revenues even more than New York City, because the State relies more heavily on
personal and business taxes and does not levy a property tax as the City does.

This document discusses the development of a time tracking tool called Productivity Map to help freelancers with time management and meeting deadlines. It describes conducting a survey that showed mixed interest from freelancers in using the tool. The team then decided to offer the minimum viable product for free to build a user base, particularly among high-tech freelancers, and later explore paid options for companies hiring freelancers. Short term plans include beta testing and collecting feedback, with mid-term goals of identifying paying conversion opportunities and developing company-focused features.

Law 499 topic 2 historical devt of islamic lawWafi Abdullah
The document summarizes the historical development of Islamic law over six periods:
1) During the lifetime of Prophet Muhammad, Islamic law was based on revelations in the Quran and traditions of the Prophet.
2) In the period of the Prophet's companions, the Quran was compiled and Islamic jurisprudence developed further based on consensus and analogy.
3) Under the Umayyad Caliphate, schools of law began to emerge in different cities and sects like the Sunnis and Shias developed.
4) The four major schools of Sunni law were established during the Abbasid Caliphate and compilation of hadiths increased.
5) As the Abbasid Empire declined,
1. The document discusses various types of synesthesia such as grapheme-color synesthesia, lexical-gustatory synesthesia, and mirror-touch synesthesia.
2. It summarizes two recent research studies on synesthesia - a single-case fMRI study that found visual stimuli activated the olfactory cortex in one synesthete, and a study showing colored speech synesthesia is triggered by multisensory rather than unisensory perception.
3. The types of synesthesia and results of these studies provide insights into the neurological basis and experiences of people with different forms of synesthesia.
Whiplash injury from rear-end collisions is a major health and economic issue. The researchers developed an actively controlled car seat that adapts to the occupant's mass and the impact severity to reduce whiplash injuries. Computational simulations and prototype testing showed the adaptive seat reduced neck accelerations and improved whiplash outcomes compared to standard seats. The researchers plan to further refine the adaptive seat design through human testing to better protect all drivers from whiplash.
“The prosperity the United States enjoys today is due in no small part to investments the nation has made in research and development at universities, corporations, and national laboratories over the last 50 years.”
"Our $559,667 sample also included four coaching-related payment requests, totaling $12,530, for training and meeting expenses. We found that three of the four sampled coaching-related payments, totaling $4,135, were not adequately supported. None of these three payment requests contained copies of the bills for which NYCLA requested reimbursement, such as an invoice from the venue in which a meeting was held."
This audit report summarizes the findings of a follow-up audit to evaluate whether the New York City Department of Education (DOE) implemented recommendations from a prior 2014 audit related to inventory controls over computer hardware. The follow-up audit found that DOE did not improve its inventory controls and that its decentralized inventory records remained inaccurate and incomplete. Specifically, DOE could not account for 4,993 out of 14,329 pieces of computer hardware inspected at 9 sampled sites. The audit makes 19 recommendations for DOE to implement a centralized inventory system, conduct regular monitoring of site inventory records, determine locations of unaccounted hardware, and provide sites with training and resources to improve controls. In its response, DOE did not acknowledge the
"From 2014 through fiscal 2017, for the first time on
record, New York City’s pension contributions exceeded
actual and projected (mostly bond-financed) capital
expenditures. In other words, the city has been spending
more to meet its pension obligations than to build
and renovate bridges, parks, schools, and other public
assets. In fiscal 2018, roughly 57% of contributions will
be needed simply to continue paying down what the
city still owes its pension systems, in order to continue
paying benefits promised to retirees. The rest will
cover the “normal” cost of added benefits earned by
city employees. In other words, if the pension systems
had been fully funded in the past, the city would have
saved more than $5 billion."
American Competitiveness Initiative:Leading the World in Innovation aci06-b...Luis Taveras EMBA, MS
The document summarizes the American Competitiveness Initiative announced by President George W. Bush in 2006. The initiative commits $5.9 billion in 2007 and $137 billion over 10 years to strengthen the United States' position as a global leader in science and technology through increased investment in research and development, education reforms, and workforce training programs. Specifically, it aims to double funding for physical science and engineering research at agencies like the National Science Foundation and Department of Energy, improve K-12 math and science education, and provide training for 800,000 workers annually. The goal is to sustain American innovation, productivity, and economic competitiveness in the face of increasing challenges from abroad.
"Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito, a Manhattan Democrat, and Council woman Julissa Ferreras-Copeland, a Queens Democrat who is chairwoman of the council’s Committee on Finance, praised the administration’s efforts to find cost-saving measures but said they remain concerned about rising shelter and pension costs."
"As consumers, Latinos wield more than $1.3 trillion in buying power, and the number of affluent Hispanic households is growing much faster than for the overall population: In 2015, there were approximately 370,000 US Latino households with incomes over $200,000, an increase of 187 percent since 2005."

This document provides information about a school advisory service firm called Optimization with an Impact (OpIm). It offers three levels of financial advisory services to help schools optimize their budgets and purchasing. The basic service focuses on budget management and purchasing optimization for $25,000. Additional services include budget management optimization for $20,000 and purchasing optimization for $15,000. The goal is to improve instruction, the school environment, and local community through efficient use of school financial resources.
"In 2013, the Non-Profit Revitalization Act was signed into law, and requires the adoption by non-profit corporations of robust financial oversight requirements, conflict-of-interest policies, and whistleblower policies. Although the Non-Profit Revitalization Act improved the accountability of New York’s non-profit corporations, including the CUNY college foundations, the New York Not-for-Profit Corporation Law (which the Act amended) does not provide specific guidance regarding how non-profit foundations use their assets."
“OpIm relieves instructional leaders of non-instructional tasks so they can focus on student achievement and professional development of the teaching staff.”

The Educational Impact of Broadband Sudsidies for Schools Under ERateLuis Taveras EMBA, MS
"The “universal service fund” pays for E-Rate with a 17.9 percent tax on long distance telecommunications. The term may sound odd; “long distance” is an artifact of the past for most Americans. However, international calls over plain old telephone network are still made, mostly by Latin American migrants living in the U.S. The telecommunications levy hits them particularly hard. More affluent households, on the other hand, use Facetime, Skype and other apps that avoid the tax."

A San Francisco tech worker wrote an open letter complaining about the city's homeless population. He referred to them as "riff-raff" and said their "pain, struggle and despair" made commuting unpleasant for "wealthy" residents. The letter sparked backlash for its lack of sympathy. Homeless individuals interviewed expressed frustration with wealthy tech workers who do not care about others and want to "grab anything they can get." While the tech worker apologized for his word choice, he faced criticism for failing to acknowledge the daily challenges of homelessness.

Even among tech companies, Apple's rates are low. And while the company has remade industries, ignited economic growth and delighted customers, it has also devised corporate strategies that take advantage of gaps in the tax code, according to former executives who helped create those strategies.
Gleevec, a drug that treats a rare form of leukemia, was approved in 2001 with a list price of $26,400 per year. Since then, its price has steadily increased, reaching over $120,000 per year currently. While the drug has competition now, its price increases were incremental at first and accelerated even before competitors entered the market. The price hikes have helped make Gleevec a top revenue drug for its manufacturer, Novartis, even though it was initially not expected to be a major moneymaker due to the small patient population. However, critics argue there is a lack of meaningful competition in the drug market that would normally drive prices down.

In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.
