Can it run a CICS interface?

Started with £8.5m in 2023
£3.5m promised from this government ( the cost of 1 Ajax armoured vehicle, which the military have just delivered 50) Op FORTITUDE is still working, but has not received any money.

Rule changes now only fund charities & HAs and exclude CICs that have proven experience
Keir Starmer’s government has been urged to act on a ‘moral imperative’ to stop veterans falling into homelessness ahead of Remembrance Day.

So many community healthcare services (formerly NHS or not-for-profit CICs) have been been outsourced to private providers since the 2012 Health & Social Care Act. Is the profit motive a factor in the decline in numbers of highly trained district nurses?

have a soft spot for my first one, though: a 370/155 with 2MB of memory (half ferrite core, half Storage Technology DRAM the size of a wardrobe). It ran all of the Dunlop Tyre Division in the UK, Accounts, Payroll for 4 factories and National Tyre Service plus an CICS online system! 3:O)> 3/last

...Then are they not just a charity?

If not, then why would they not choose to be? CICs are liable for corp tax, and cannot be registered for gift aid, two massive benefits over a CIC for this set up.

Charities, however, are restrictive over pay and revenue.

"We want to make sure that [unscrupulous CICs] don't have a negative impact on the charitable fundraising brand. Which I think they do, quite frankly."

It has to become law that anyone...ANYONE serving in Canadian governemnt at any level MUST pass an extensive background check by the RCMP at the least and possibly CICS even.
Sound parinode? I don't think so considering what is going on!

My student @lauren_e_young_ and I took a close look at the community safety implications of expanding the capacity of the Fulton County Jail, and the findings were pretty clear. 5/x https://www.law.georgetown.edu/cics/publications/reducing-jail-overcrowding-white-paper/

Sophisticated piece by @papa_raw from @curvelabs➰ on the future of DAOs. Touches on LETS, @grassEcon #CICs, @commonsstack, @block_science, @tokengineering, & translates obscure crypto concepts to real world fiscal & monetary policy terms.

A must read!🔥

When we do run out of money - as some people surely will & already have - how can we fairly offer and share our resources together?

#CICs are a way for us to value and share our time & resources, a voucher for your own goods and services.

Grassroots Economics
Through Commitment Pooling, people have a way to exchange Community Asset Vouchers representing commitments for goods and services while incubating projects and businesses, without relying on scarce national currency and volatile markets.

mi ricordo, c'era un prodotto che traduceva la mappe CICS in pagine HTML e nella Big Corporation si sghignazzava alla grande 😂🤣😂

We discussed this on TechStrong Gang, why do they still call it a mainframe? Does it still run CICS and JCL? Does IBM want to distinguish that its still can run those legacy workloads?
