His long involvement with the Transport and General Workers Union (TGWU) started ten years later when he changed jobs, and moved to the Bakelite factory in Birmingham, where he became shop steward a year later. His rise through the organisation of the TGWU started in 1956 when he became engineering and chemical officer for the Birmingham East district. 

This was followed by;

Ratnasambhava

Ratnasambhava (, lit. "Jewel-Born") is one of the Five Dhyani Buddhas (or "Five Meditation Buddhas") of Mahayana and Vajrayana or Tantric Buddhism. Ratnasambhava's mandalas and mantras focus on developing equanimity and equality and, in Vajrayana Buddhist thought is associated with the attempt to destroy greed and pride. His consort is Mamaki and his mount is a horse or a pair of lions.

Textual History
The first documented mention of Ratnasambhava is found in the Suvarṇaprabhāsa Sūtra and in the Guhyasamāja Tantra (4th Century CE), and he subsequently appears in a number of Vajrayana texts. The most elaborate account of him is to be found in the Pañcakara section of the Advayavajrasaṃgraha.

In the Śūraṅgama mantra (Chinese: 楞嚴咒; pinyin: Léngyán Zhòu) taught in the Śūraṅgama sutra (Chinese: 楞嚴經; pinyin: Léngyán Jīng), an especially influential dharani in the Chinese Chan tradition, Ratnasambhava is mentioned to be the host of the Jewel-creating Division in the South, one of the five major divisions which controls the vast demon armies of the five directions.

Ratnasambhava is also mentioned as one of the Buddhas worthy of praise in the Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva Pūrvapraṇidhāna Sūtra, chapter 9:

Characteristics 

Ratnasaṃbhava is associated with the skandha of feeling or sensation and its relationship with consciousness. His activity in promoting Buddhism is enriching and increasing knowledge of Dharma. Ratnasambhava is associated with the jewel symbol, which corresponds with his family, Ratna or jewel. In artwork he is shown in the mudra of giving.

He is usually coloured yellow or gold. He is associated with the element earth, the heavenly quarter of the south and the season of spring. His cardinal direction is the south. His Buddha field is known as Śrimat.

In the Bardo Thodol, he is depicted in union with Mamaki and attended by the male bodhisattvas Ākāśagarbha and Samantabhadra and the female bodhisattvas Mala and Dhupa.

In Tibet, Vaiśravaṇa, also known as Jambhala and Kubera, is considered a worldly dharmapāla, and is often depicted as a member of the retinue of Ratnasambhava.

His wrathful manifestation is the Wisdom King Gundari.

Homerton Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust

Homerton Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is an NHS foundation trust based in London, England, which runs Homerton University Hospital.

History 
The trust was established as Homerton Hospital NHS Trust on 24 December 1994, and became operational on 1 April 1995. It took over some of the services previously provided by the East London and The City Health Authority. It became a foundation trust on 1 April 2004, and was one of the first foundation trusts to be established.

It was named by the Health Service Journal as one of the top hundred NHS trusts to work for in 2015.  At that time it had 3330 full-time equivalent staff and a sickness absence rate of 3.09%. 78% of staff recommend it as a place for treatment and 75% recommended it as a place to work.

The trust had a document for staff saying “I will only communicate in English in the presence of others.” It was written in 2014. It was criticised by Dr Partha Kar, an NHS England national advisor on racial equality, but the trust stood by it as part of their trust values.

Services 
The trust provides the majority of its services from a single site, Homerton University Hospital, in Homerton in the London Borough of Hackney. It also provides community health services from a number of sites across Hackney and the City of London, and healthcare services at the Mary Seacole Nursing Home in Hoxton.

When the trust proposed in 2020 to extend its soft facilities management contract with ISS Mediclean until 2025 170 of the trust's 464 doctors complained to the chief executive that their colleagues in cleaning, portering, catering and security services received worse pay and worse terms and conditions than NHS employees, including only statutory sick pay.

Performance
Five maternal deaths occurred at Homerton between 2013 and 2015.  Two unannounced inspections by the Care Quality Commission and an investigation by the Clinical Senate concluded that were staff were slow at recognising patients were deteriorating, and there had been breakdowns in communication.  The Commission inspected maternity services at the hospital again in March 2015 and said they were "inadequate" for safety and "requires improvement" overall. None of the midwives they spoke to were aware of the deaths.

In April 2014 and again in February 2016 the CQC rated the A&E department as 'outstanding', the first emergency department to receive this rating.

It spent 8.9% of its total turnover on agency staff in 2014/5.

Shi Hui (Eastern Wu)

Shi Hui (165–227 CE), also known by his Vietnamese name Sĩ Huy, was an official of the state of Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period of China. 

Shi Hui was the third son of Shi Xie. Following his father's death in 226, he succeeded as the Administrator of Jiaozhi Commandery. The Wu emperor, Sun Quan, thought Jiaozhi was too far to control, so he split Jiaozhi into three Guangzhou, Jiaozhi and Jiaozhou. Lü Dai and Dai Liang (戴良) were appointed as Administrator of Guangzhou and Jiaozhou respectively. In the same time, Shi Hui was appointed as Administrator of Jiuzhen ordered to leave Jiaozhi, while Chen Shi (陳時), a close aide of Sun Quan, was to replace him as the Administrator of Jiaozhi.

Hearing about the new arrangements, Shi was discontent. He sent troops to prevent Dai Liang and Chen Shi from entering his area. Lü Dai was ordered to put down his rebellion. Shi Kuang, a cousin of Shi Hui, was sent to persuade him to surrender. Lü promised that his life would be spared. Shi Hui opened the gate and submitted to Lü Dai. Lü Dai set a trap and had he and his brothers executed. Their heads were sent to Wuchang.

Henry Bright (schoolmaster, born 1724)

Henry Bright (1724 – 31 January 1803) was an English clergyman, academic, and schoolmaster, who served as headmaster of Abingdon School (1758–1774) and New College School (1774–1794).

Biography
Bright was the son of Rowland Bright of Argeville, France (where the statesman Lord Bolingbroke was then living in retirement).

He was educated at Winchester College. He matriculated at Trinity College, Oxford in 1743, aged 19, and at New College, Oxford graduated BA (1747) and MA (1761). Ordained deacon in June 1747 and priest in March 1748, he became a Fellow and chaplain at New College, and under-master at New College School.

He was headmaster of Roysse's Free School in Abingdon (now Abingdon School) from 27 July 1758 to 1774. In 1758 Bright advertised the opening of his student boarding house, one of several adverts that he posted in Jackson's Oxford Journal. In 1763, to celebrate the school's bi-centenary, Bright commissioned a wooden panel painted with a coat of arms (the arms of founder John Roysse impaled on an unknown quartered shield) and the motto Misericordias Domini in Aeternum Cantabo (I will sing of the Lord's mercies forever), the opening line of Psalm 89. Though the coat of arms is no longer in use, the school motto endures. 

Bright left Abingdon when appointed headmaster of New College School, Oxford in 1774, continuing until 1794. His tenure coincided with that of Philip Hayes as organist. According to Matthew Jenkinson, this was a high-point in the school's history, the school having good-quality academic and music teachers, and the choir enjoying a high reputation.

He was the author of Praxis, a Latin and English textbook for schools published in 1783.

He held the following church livings:
Preacher at St Helen's Church, Abingdon and Marcham, Berkshire (1758)
Curate of Waldron, Sussex (1758)
Vicar of Denchworth, Berkshire (1775)
Vicar of Chittlehampton, Devon (1794)
Rector of Bicton, Devon (1797–1803)

Having been in ill health for several years previously, he died on 31 January 1803 at his home in Oxford.

Private letter ruling

Private letter rulings (PLRs), in the United States, are written decisions by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in response to taxpayer requests for guidance. A letter ruling is "a written statement issued to a taxpayer by an Associate Chief Counsel Office of the Office of Chief Counsel or by the Tax Exempt and Government Entities Division that interprets and applies the tax laws to a specific set of facts."

A letter ruling binds both the IRS and the requesting taxpayer (in the event the matter is further disputed or litigated) but only those parties, so the ruling may not be relied on as precedent by other taxpayers. The IRS has the option, however, of redacting the personal content of a letter ruling and issuing that content as a revenue ruling, which may become binding on all taxpayers and the IRS.

PLRs from 1997 onwards are available to the public through the IRS Electronic reading room (see ).

Similarity to technical advice memorandum

A technical advice memorandum (TAM) is similar to a letter ruling, but is typically obtained during the course of an IRS examination. A TAM is generally issued by an IRS Associate Chief Counsel Office to an IRS Division Commissioner, or to an IRS Appeals Area Director. A TAM is issued after a request for assistance arising during "any proceeding" before the IRS.

The request for advice must concern the interpretation and application of the internal revenue laws, tax treaties, regulations, revenue rulings, or other precedents to a specific set of facts to determine the correct tax treatment for an item in a year under audit or on appeal.

USS Levy

USS Levy (DE-162) was a , named in honor of Commodore Uriah P. Levy (1792–1862), a notable figure of the 19th-century Navy.

The ship was laid down on 19 October 1942 by the Federal Shipbuilding and Drydock Company, Newark, New Jersey, launched on 28 March 1943; sponsored by Mrs. Charles Mathoff, niece of Commodore Levy; and commissioned on 13 May 1943.

Service history
After shakedown off Bermuda, Levy, one of the Navy's first destroyer escorts, steamed for the South Pacific, arriving at the Society Islands on 19 August 1943. For the next eight months the ship escorted and screened oilers during various fueling operations in the South and Central Pacific theaters. In support of the Hollandia operation and the strikes against Truk, Statwan, and Ponape from 13 April to 4 May 1944, Levy escorted a convoy of logistic ships to a point north of Manus, arriving on 23 April for a refueling rendezvous with TF 58.

From 12 June to 16 August 1944, Levy screened the oilers which supported the invasion of the Marianas and fueled Admiral Mitscher's carriers during the Battle of the Philippine Sea, in which American carrier-based planes caused significant damage to Japanese naval airpower. For the next four months, she escorted TG 30.8 which refueled and replenished the 3rd Fleet during the conquest of the western Carolines and the liberation of Leyte. On 20 November, while escorting a convoy from Ulithi for another rendezvous with Mitscher's flattops, Levy drove off enemy planes which attacked the formation. She sailed from Eniwetok on 24 November for the west coast and arrived San Diego on 8 December for a month-long overhaul.

Early in March 1945 the ship returned to the Pacific war zones and resumed escort and ASW duty. During the last two months of the war, Levy helped blockade and bombard the remaining Japanese-held atolls in the Marshalls and rescued a boatload of natives who had escaped from enemy-held Jaluit.

August and September marked a high point of the ship's wartime career. Aboard Levy, Capt. H. D. Grow negotiated and accepted the surrender of Mili Atoll on 22 August. A few days later Levy witnessed the surrender of Jaluit Atoll. On 4 September, Wake Island surrendered to Brig. Gen. L. H. M. Sanderson, USMC, embarked in Levy.

Departing the Pacific theater on 17 September, the ship steamed, via San Francisco, for the east coast. On 15 November she joined the St. John's River Group, 16th Fleet, at Green Cove Springs, Florida, and was placed in commission, in reserve. She was decommissioned on 4 April 1947, and berthed at Norfolk, Virginia, as part of the Atlantic Inactive Fleet.

Finally struck from the Navy List on 2 August 1973, the ship was sold for scrap to the Boston Metals Co., Baltimore, Maryland, on 17 July 1974.

Awards
Levy received 5 battle stars for World War II service.

They are responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Twentynine Palms Expeditionary Airfield at MCAGCC, 29 Palms, CA.

History
In March 1977, General Louis H. Wilson, the 26th Commandant of the Marine Corps, activated the Expeditionary Airfield (EAF). The initial unit placed in charge of the EAF was designated Detachment MABS-11. Two years later, in July 1979, Detachment MABS-11 became operationally attached to Marine Aircraft Group 16 and was redesignated MAG-16, Detachment Bravo in 1982. Originally, only a cadre of Marines provided caretaker support for the EAF between exercises. However, during October 1989

MWSS-173 was transferred from Marine Corps Air Station Kaneohe Bay to the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, Twentynine Palms in support of the EAF. 1990 MWSS-374 MCAS Tustin CA, was tasked with Support During Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm.   Elements of MWSS-374 were in Country well prior to the beginning of the Gulf War, until relieved in late 1991, additionally some Elements Served in Kuwait during Combat. On 4 March 1993, MWSS-173 was deactivated and Aviation Ground Support Element (AGSE) was activated to continue operating and maintaining the EAF. On 1 April 1999, AGSE deactivated and was redesignated as Marine Wing Support Squadron-374. Currently the squadron is nearly 525 strong, and possesses the ability to operate a portable and tactical airfield including and maintaining ground support equipment for aircraft.

Air traffic control services and maintenance are provided by a detachment of Marines from MACS-1 Det EAF, a subordinate unit of Marine Aircraft Group 16 (MACG-38). In the early '90s, the ATC operations were handled by MATCS-18 Det C (Marine Air Traffic Control Squadron 18, Detachment C) who operated under MWSS-173.

Global War on Terrorism
MWSS-374 deployed to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom from February 2004 until August 2004, February 2006 until August 2006, and again from March 2008 to October 2008. MWSS-374 also deployed in support of Operation Inherent Resolve from September 2014 to April 2015.
