_THE INVISIBLES_ is a British 2008 comedy drama series created and written by William Ivory for the BBC. It was produced by Company Pictures, shot in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.

Premise

Maurice Riley (Head) and Syd Woolsey (Clarke), are “The Invisibles”, a team of retired master burglars. After a string of successful crimes during the 1980s — during which they were never apprehended or identified by the authorities — they retired with their wives to the Spanish Mediterranean coast. In their heyday, the media turned them into minor folk heroes.

Now getting long in the tooth, they give in to homesickness and return to England, settling in a quiet Devon fishing village. They still have enough money to support themselves comfortably (though not as extravagantly as they might be used to), and look forward to a quiet life of fishing and the benefits of the NHS. Circumstances, however, conspire to pull them back to a life of crime. Woolsey's son (Tighe) is in trouble with mobsters, and the son of a former associate (Lennox Kelly) idolizes them and wants them to teach him the business. On top of this, they're feeling old and bored. Early capers prove to them that security technology and the brutality of the criminal life have changed dramatically in two decades, and they've lost their edge as well. But the excitement is undeniable, and they try to make a go of it.

Maurice's wife Barbara (Agutter), initially resistant to their plans, can't deny the positive effect it has on Maurice's demeanour. Their daughter, Grace (Emily Head), is completely unaware how Dad made his money or what he does when he goes out for the evening.[1]

Production

The series was filmed in the Northern Ireland village of Portaferry, County Down which was considered a good look alike for a Devon village without being so crowded.

It was originally commissioned under the title _Desperados_[2] but was changed to _The Invisibles_ to match the name used by Head and Clarke's characters, and in reference to how people become “invisible” in society as they get older.[3]

The BBC confirmed in March 2009 that it would not be renewing the series for a second season.[4]

Not long after civil war began to ravage the Central African Republic in 2013, a fifth grade girl named Dorcas returned to her school hoping to see the familiar faces of teachers and friends. Instead, she encountered armed men who had taken over the school, ransacked it and burned benches and textbooks. “I burst into tears,” she said. “It took away my last hope.”

At a time when more than 30 countries around the world are officially experiencing humanitarian crises, including protracted crises, and more than half of the world’s out-of-school children live in countries plagued by war and violence, Dorcas’ words reflect the fear and desperation that all too many children face in the wake of natural disasters, major health emergencies and devastating armed conflicts.

The extraordinary scale of such suffering, now at its highest level since the second world war, has prompted world leaders to gather in Istanbul this week for the first-ever World Humanitarian Summit.

Beyond raising the visibility and sense of urgency around the growing challenges of conflict and crisis in nearly every region of the world, the Summit intends to improve the international community’s response to humanitarian emergencies.

A NEW EDUCATION CRISIS FUND

One important outcome of the Summit will be the creation of a new financing and coordination mechanism – Education Cannot Wait, an education crisis fund – to help children facing violence, displacement, epidemic, social breakdown, hunger and prolonged crisis get access to and stay in school.

We need this fund because global humanitarian responses have always given lower priority and fewer resources to education than to other essentials like basic health care, shelter and nutrition. Less than 2% of all humanitarian aid goes to education.

That’s shockingly low given that every child has a narrow, finite window of formative years during which they find it easiest to learn how to read, write and do math and acquire other cognitive skills. Formal schooling also helps shield children from the trauma of crisis.

What’s more, education is notably a powerful antidote to conflict. We know that literate people are more likely than others to participate in their societies’ democratic institutions and that the risk of war drops as more of a country’s citizens receive a secondary education. Further, once the urgent crisis subsides, how can a country expect to rebuild without a population that has even a basic of level of knowledge and literacy?

The new Education Cannot Wait fund is designed to mobilise additional funding, improve coordination and technical assistance and strengthen education sector planning and monitoring. It will also be an important tool to advocate for education to continue during emergencies and protracted crisis. It will allow more nimble and rapid responses to fast-moving emergencies and, at the same time, support long-term educational viability and growth.

SERVING IMMEDIATE AND LONG-TERM NEEDS

That’s precisely why the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) is playing a central role in the development and realisation of the new education crisis fund. Based on its strong partnership model, GPE expedites support when developing countries experience a sudden or prolonged crisis and helps them transition to long-term development. GPE does this by providing the support needed to build durable, quality education systems.

In the Central African Republic, for example, GPE quickly approved emergency support to allow more than 100,000 children who had been displaced by conflict to return to school, helped rehabilitate hundreds of school buildings and promoted teacher recruitment and training and other efforts to rebuild the country’s crumbling education system.

In Chad, a GPE-funded emergency program has enabled the government to shore up an already over-burdened school system to serve thousands of refugee children who have fled violence in neighbouring countries.

In South Sudan, which has been torn apart by civil war, partners like GPE have helped the government create and execute a plan to improve the national education system, assist schools in improving their performance, offer models for school strengthening and enable more girls to receive an education.

In each of these countries, and many others facing crisis, this immediate support feeds into a broader, longer-term vision to educate all children, particularly girls and other disadvantaged children who are the hardest to reach.

The solutions we hope to achieve at the World Humanitarian Summit – above all, elevating education as an essential part of any humanitarian response – won’t completely extinguish all the challenges children face during humanitarian crises. But they will rescue millions from likely lives of misery, poverty and tragedy.

By taking firm and bold steps, the international community can restore their last, and indeed best, hope to improve their lives long after crises subside.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does the text say about the World Humanitarian Summit?

answer: The World Humanitarian Summit is intended to improve the international community's response to humanitarian emergencies, especially those affecting education. The summit will create the new Education Cannot Wait fund and provide additional funding, improved coordination and technical assistance, and strengthened education sector planning and monitoring. The fund will help to advocate for education to continue during emergencies and will be a tool for long-term educational viability.

answer: The World Humanitarian Summit seeks to improve the international community's response to humanitarian emergencies to better serve children facing violence, displacement, epidemic, social breakdown, hunger and prolonged crisis. The summit also aims to create a new education crisis fund to help address the heightened need for access to and continuance of education for children in crisis.

answer: In 2016 the 8 World Humanitarian Summit gathered the most world leaders it ever had, including all seven major superpowers, which meant the conference was huge on all fronts. The conference was held to discuss the growing challenges to conflict and crises around the world. Solutions were discussed to help end these issues and elevate education against them. The Education Cannot Wait fund was created to help children facing violence, displacement, etc. to stay in school, which was evident of the need for additional funding and coordination.

text: The response includes vague outsourced information not present in the article. It doesn't explain what "8" world humanitarian summit or the "seven major superpowers." It also states, "..the most world leaders it ever had" to mean it had had a summit before when, in reality, the 2016 humanitarian summit was the first.

refinement: In 2016, the first-ever World Humanitarian Summit gathered world leaders and member states to discuss the growing challenges of conflict and crises worldwide. They discussed solutions to help end these issues and improve the international community's response to humanitarian emergencies. The summit's outcome was the creation of a new funding and coordination mechanism called Education Cannot Wait, to help children facing violence, displacement, hunger, prolonged crisis, etc., stay in school.

answer: At the summit, world leaders gather to raise the visibility and sense of urgency around growing challenges of conflict and crisis. The summit's goal is to lower the crisis response time and ensure education is prioritized as an essential part of any humanitarian response.

answer: The upcoming World Humanitarian Summit will be the first of its kind and was prompted by the scale of ongoing humanitarian crises, which is now at its highest level since the second world war. The Summit aims to raise the visibility and sense of urgency around the growing challenges of conflict and crisis in nearly every region of the world and to improve the international community's response to humanitarian emergencies. An important outcome of the Summit will be the creation of a new financing and coordination mechanism, Education Cannot Wait, an education crisis fund, to help children facing violence, displacement, epidemic, social breakdown, hunger, and prolonged crisis get access to and stay in school.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does the text say about the Global Partnership for Education?

answer: The Global Partnership for Education (GPE) is playing a central role in the development and realization of the new education crisis fund. GPE expedites support when developing countries experience a sudden or prolonged crisis and helps them transition to long-term development. The GPE has already helped in places like the Central African Republic, Chad, and South Sudan.

answer: The Global Partnership for Education provides support when developing countries experience sudden or prolonged crises. This support includes immediately providing education to children affected by conflict and strengthening education systems more broadly.

answer: The education crisis fund was created to help children suffering from poverty and war. It plans to mobilize funding, improve coordination, and enhance education sector planning. Together with the new fund, the Global Partnership for Education is improving the education's conditions in these countries by expediting support when it is needed and helping transition countries toward long-term development.

answer: The Global Partnership for Education is playing a central role in the development and realisation of an education crisis fund. GPE provides necessary and valuable support to countries experiencing humanitarian crises by helping build durable, quality education systems. GPE supports countries facing disaster in order to deal with both the immediate and long-term needs of the educational system.

answer: The Global Partnership for Education (GPE) will play a central role in the creation of a new financial mechanism called Education Cannot Wait which will have the purpose to help children facing violence, displacement and other ongoing humanitarian issues. GPE has a strong partnership model and expedites support when developing countries face an emergency.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does the article say about Mandiberg's art style?

answer: The article indicates that Mandiberg's art combines media and technology with elements of conceptual art and remix culture.

text: This response might be inferred from the notable works listed, but we can't tell if those are representative of Mandiberg's style

answer: He works digitally and sometimes incorporates ideas from programming and computer science into his works. One example is when he scanned photos from AfterSherrieLevine.com, which Sherrie Levine rephotographed of Walker Evans. This made the work recursive, especially after placing them online so the photos can be printed. In his other works, he seems to be focusing on conveying a message. His "Oil Standard" plug-in for Firefox, for example, replaces prices with their equivalent cost in barrels of crude oil.

text: Accurately summarizes Mandiberg's notable works, but doesn't answer the question about his style

answer: No answer

answer: No answer

answer: Mandiberg's work has been exhibited at various venues around the world, and has been written about in various publications. Specifically, Mandiberg's art focuses on remixing, recursion, and appropriation.

    “I would totally have sex with you right now if I didn’t have a boyfriend.”
    She’s pulled me into a fluorescent restroom on the second floor of a faux-hip alt bar called “green”.
    Some form of house reggae pulses through the floor.
    “You can’t say shit like that. That’s not fair to me.”
    I attempt to sound calm but firm, though my body language betrays the fact that I’m far from at ease
    standing in the women’s room while she fixes her makeup in the mirror.
    “Why not?”
    She’s actually perplexed.
    “Because.. because people who have significant others don’t say things like that.” Because I really want to
    fuck you. Because all night I’ve been relishing the way your pants hug your curves. “Because it’s
    confusing to me. You know what I mean?”
    She drops her lip gloss into her makeup bag and looks at me like I have horns.
    “You need to chill out, man! Make no mistakes; I’m taken.”
    This annoys me.
    “Hey, you’re the one who brought up sex in a public bathroom. I don’t even know what I’m doing in here.”
    It’s true. I have no idea what I’m doing. There has been no analogous precursory situation to
    inform my actions here. I’m also out of practice. I’m also drunk.
    She zips her bag and enters a stall while I stand by the entrance. Her fragrance is everywhere now

Hello! Had to do some vignette exercises for class, feedback is much appreciated.

This city is beautiful in the rain.
I’m standing under an awning, inhaling hot smoke from the dangling cigarette between my lips and watching the rain fall in icy sheets over the most beautiful city in the world.  It sparkles under all that cold rain, and I’m in love.  My cigarette smoke collects under the awning in a cloud as I exhale, and the chilly winter air suddenly filling my lungs stings in contrast.  Behind me, I can hear the faint clink of glasses and soft murmurs between friends or lovers (or, both, maybe, if they’re lucky) escaping from the open door of the café out of which I’ve just stepped.  The warm, golden light spills onto the sidewalk next to me and calls me back inside, but nothing is more inviting than the city in the rain.  Icy water is beginning to seep through the soles of my heels (I wore them for you, you know) and the warm tears that have collected in the corners of my eyes, and which are now sliding down my cheeks, suddenly feel scalding.  Soon I’ll drop my cigarette onto the wet sidewalk and extinguish the ash with the toe of my now-ruined shoes, thumb the hot tears away, square my shoulders and turn back to the café to finish telling you goodbye. Goodbye to you, because I can’t say goodbye to this city. Because you are too silly to stay, and the city in the rain is too beautiful to leave.  But for the moment I’m standing under the awning, enjoying the burning sensation in my lungs, and the city is shimmering just for me.

_QUERCUS HIHOLENSIS_ is an extinct species of oak in the Fagaceae genus _Quercus_. _Quercus hiholensis_ is known from Middle Miocene fossils found in Central Washington.

History and classification

The species was first described from specimens of silicified acorns preserved in chert of the “Yakima Canyon Flora”.[1] The chert was recovered from the “Hi hole” site, one of the “county line hole” fossil localities of the “Yakima Canyon Flora” located north of Interstate 82 in Yakima County, Washington.[2] The “Hi hole” site works strata which was thought to be part of the Museum Flow Package within the interbeds of the Sentinel Bluffs Unit of the central Columbia Plateau N₂ Grande Ronde Basalt, Columbia River Basalt Group. The Museum Flow Package interbeds, designated the type locality, are dated to the middle Miocene and are approximately 15.6 million years old.[3] Later re-evaluation of the “hi hole” site indicated that the site is included into a basalt flow, rather than part of the interbedded Museum flow package. The evaluation suggested the basalt is part of the Wanapum Basalt and that the fossils are possibly a little younger than formerly reported.[4] Dating reported in 2007 of a related site near Ellensburg, Washington, confirmed that the deposits worked are pockets within the basalt flows, and the 15.6 million year old date was accurate.[5]

At the time of study, the holotype acorn, specimen UWBM 45-I, and a series of paratype specimens are preserved in the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture, while additional examined fossils that were not part of the type series were part of the paleobotanical collections at Arizona State University. The specimens represent a range of preservation conditions, ranging from exposed on weathered surfaces of the chert, totally weathered out of the chert, and as hollow chert casts of the acorns. A total of 42 specimens in chert were studied by paleobotanists Sandra Borgardt and Kathleen Pigg, with their 1999 type description being published in the _American Journal of Botany_. Borgardt and Pigg chose the specific epithet _hiholensis_ as a reference to the “Hi hole” locality that is the type locality of the species.[6]

Based on the acorn and floral morphology, Borgardt and Pigg placed the species into the oak subgenus _Quercus_ section _Quercus_, which includes living white oaks. As _Q. hiholensis_ was the first oak to be described from anatomically preserved acorns, they chose to place the fossils into a new species rather than describe them as fossils belonging to the living species, or acorns belonging to an already described fossil species. The authors also noted that a number of the acorns show signs of probable insect damage, with preserved bore tunnels, possible frass, and possible larvae in some acorns.[7] The overall damage is similar to damage by beetles in modern acorns, and the finds in _Q. hiholensis_ suggest an oak/insect relationship extending at least back to the Miocene.[8]

Description

_Q. hiholensis_ acorns range in size from to with an umbo on the tip of some nuts, but absent on others. Of the twenty-six identified _Q. hiholensis_ acorns, only one specimen has a nut emerging from the cupule, while in the others only the perianth and styles, or umbo show. The exteriors of the cupules comprise helically arranged scales that have a papery tip and range up to with the papery tip extending up to further. The cupule has patches of sclereids scattered through it with some of the sclereids that are associated with scale bases organized into white star shaped patches. The fruits have an ovoid to ovoid-conical shape, ranging between to in size. The smaller, less mature fruits show the distinct structuring of styles and perianth. The styles have flared tips and are short, while the perianth has distinct lobes that are closely placed to the styles. As is typical for acorns of section _Quercus_, the youngest specimens still have the aborted second ovule and dividing septum present near the base of the developing fruit.[9]

Answer the following question based on the above passage:

How did Quercus Hilolensis become known to the world?

answer: One of the localities where Quercus Hilolensis fossils were found is known as “Hi hole,” and so the whole species was also named “Quercus Hilolensis.”

answer: It was found in the Middle Miocene fossil in Central Washington.

answer: Quercus Hilolensis was first described from specimens of silicified acorns preserved in chert.

answer: The species was first described from specimens of silicified acorns preserved in chert located in Central Washington. The chert was recovered from the Hi hole site. The acorns were studied by paleobotanists and determined to be an extinct species in the Fagaceae genus Quercus. The acorns are ovoid to ovoid-conical in shape with helically arranged scales and white star shaped patches of sclereids. The youngest specimens still have the aborted second ovule and dividing septum present.

answer: The Quercus hiholensis species was first described based on specimens of silicified acorns found at the "Hi hole" site near Yakima County, Washington. The chert specimens which preserved the acorns were dated back to the Middle Miocene and are approximately 15.6 million years old. The acorns range in size from to with only one specimen showing a nut emerging from the cupule. The cupule is characterized by a helically arranged scales which have a papery tip and white star shaped patches are present. Styles are flared and deeply placed while the perianth has distinctive lobes. The youngest specimens still have the aborted second ovule and septum present.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

answer: Q. hiholensis' acorns are ovoid or ovoid-conical in shape and range from to in size. The cupules are made up of helically arranged scales that have a papery tip, with some sclereids organized into white star shaped patches. The styles have flared tips and are short while the perianth has distinctly lobed petals. Some acorns show possible insect damage.

answer: In its non-mature state, the fruit is ovoid to ovoid-conical, falling between 0.3cm to to 0cm in length. Before maturation, only the perianth and styles show. As it matures, elongation of the styles occur and the perianth develops distinct lobes that are closely packed. The robust dimensions of the fruit overall protect the developing nuts. As is typical for acorns of section Quercus, the youngest specimens still have the aborted second ovule and dividing septum present near the base of the developing fruit.

answer: The fruits have an ovoid to ovoid-conical shape.

answer: It ranges in size and shape. When immature, the fruits show distinct structuring of styles and perianth.

For several years now, Sherayzen Law Office has been warning U.S. taxpayers about the ever-increasing IRS interest in undeclared accounts in Singapore. On June 22, 2016, the IRS announced that UBS AG has complied with the IRS summons for bank records held in its Singapore office. This news come after repeated initiatives by the IRS to follow the money that was flowing out of what used to be secret Swiss bank accounts into the undeclared accounts in Singapore.

Facts Surrounding the IRS Summons Regarding UBS Undeclared Accounts in Singapore

The IRS served an administrative summons on UBS for records pertaining to accounts held by Ching-Ye “Henry” Hsiaw. According to the petition, the IRS needed the records in order to determine Hsiaw’s federal income tax liabilities for the years 2006 through 2011. Hsiaw transferred funds from a Switzerland-based account with UBS to the UBS Singapore branch in 2002, according to the declaration of a revenue agent filed at the same time as the petition. UBS refused to produce the records, and the United States filed its petition to enforce the summons.

“The Department of Justice and the IRS are committed to making sure that offshore tax evasion is detected and dealt with appropriately,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Caroline D. Ciraolo of the Tax Division. “One critical component of that effort is making sure that the IRS has all of the information it needs to audit taxpayers with offshore assets. In this case, we filed a petition to enforce a summons for offshore documents, but that’s only one of the tools we have available for gathering information. Taxpayers with offshore assets who underreported their income should come forward before we come looking for them.”

Lessons to be Learned from the Recent Summons of UBS Undeclared Accounts in Singapore

The recent IRS summons of UBS undeclared accounts in Singapore and the startling ease with which the IRS obtained the necessary information, confirm three earlier predictions that Sherayzen Law Office made after the announcing of the DOJ Program for Swiss Banks. First, the IRS takes a keen interest in the undeclared accounts in Singapore and it will not satisfy itself simply with destroying the Swiss bank secrecy laws with respect to U.S. taxpayers. The IRS is actively expanding its investigations beyond Switzerland and Singapore is definitely one of its top targets.

Second, the IRS will continue to utilize in its investigations the information that it obtained from the Swiss Bank Program, the IRS offshore voluntary disclosure programs and the IRS compliance procedures. The IRS has obtained mountains of information from these programs regarding not only the “favorite” countries for opening and maintaining undeclared accounts, but also the main patterns of U.S. tax noncompliance. In fact, the IRS now has evidence at its disposal to prosecute foreign banks far beyond Switzerland (a fact confirmed by recent criminal prosecutions of two Cayman Islands financial institutions). Hence, the undeclared accounts in Singapore and the foreign banks which are holding them are under increased IRS scrutiny today.

Finally, the implementation of FATCA combined with the two trends described above makes the discovery of undeclared accounts in Singapore (and most other countries) increasingly likely. Furthermore, it seems that the IRS also feels more and more confident to ask the courts for harsher penalties against noncomplying U.S. taxpayers.

What Should U.S. Taxpayers with Undeclared Accounts in Singapore Do?

U.S. taxpayers with undeclared accounts in Singapore now face a very unpleasant scenario where their discovery by the IRS can occur at any point with the imposition of draconian penalties and even potential prison time. Furthermore, it appears that such a discovery by the IRS is not only possible, but very likely.

Given the high probability of the discovery of their undeclared accounts in Singapore, the noncompliant U.S. taxpayers should retain as soon as possible an experienced international tax firm to explore their voluntary disclosure options. One of the best international tax law firms that provides these services is Sherayzen Law Office, Ltd.
